I? ft M -THE 1192(0� (Elasa Jfutun' There are many things in this world which one can have to do. The one thing we all have is a future, but what a blessing it is that we do not know what it has in store for us. Some people are able, or try, to tell what posi- tion others will attain at some pre-determined time. We are far from this type of person, but the task of fortelling the position each of the members of the graduating class will attain at some future time has been delegated to us. If you can stretch your imagination we will try to portray the activities of each member of the class ten years from now. Berg, while with the Electric Co., discovered what characteristics of a series motor makes bad car service. Due to this discovery he has advanced rapidly until he is head of the Consolidated Good Car Service Co., of Morris, Minn. We find Curtis diligently seeking happiness as a high army officer in the signal corps, gained from the successful completion of his work in the R. O. T. C., and his discovery that the permeability of a coherer in an A. C. tele- phone is other than zero. Dopkc has distinguished himself by his work on motor controllers, and was recently placed in charge of the-Cutler Hammer Co. engineering depart- ment. One of his many achievements was the invention of the automatic dimmer for theaters. Its operation depends on the arc-over capacity of a pyroelectric conductor at luminous heat. Gordon abandoned his practice of catching four o’clock owls at 31st and State Sts., and is now engaged as chief illuminating engineer of the Vaughn and Meyer corporation. One of his great achievements was the elimination of lighting units from the front of residences. Hamlin is now chief engineer of the electrical department of the Good- year Rubber Co. He is generally known as “The Tire Man,” this is due to his successful method of converting old automobile tires into new ones by the application of “fixated” atmospheric nitrogen to the fiber of the material. Johnson has become quite an authority on law. lie will readily furnish expert testimony involving automobile rides, his inspirations for the study having been instigated through his keen interest at a recent trial. We see Manahan at the blackboard of the mechanics department at Cor- nell proving the theory evolved by him, that the moment of inertia of a hyperbolic prabaloid rotating in the fourth dimension is equal to the radius of gyration of a rain drop in October. After receiving his “B. S.” diploma Maiers attained proficiency as a professor in the School of Engineering. We sec him bawling out a class of recalcitrant freshmen for failing to understand the difference between a sine curve and the simple harmonic motion. Loux is block manager of the power and mining division of the General Electric Co. with headquarters at Hibbing. Minn. He has discovered an clectroputic process of extracting the pure metal from the earth, using the north pole as a balancing electrode. Page Forty J Page Forty-one 1 m s. '«CSS ■TME fl.920 EMF- Panstian after the receipt of his diploma lost “Berg and Upson” by spon- taneous combustion, and is now successfully engaged as installation engineer, installing “fool proof” farm lighting plants for the Brillion Light Heat and Power Co. He also receives large royalties for the use of his patents on PRACTICAL household utensils. Pettingill has discovered that a supernatent electrolyte when placed in a storage battery will not affect the instability of a Hudson Super-Six after it has reached the velocity of 67.3 miles per hour. This invention has brought great fortune to the young man, and he now has a palatial residence on Broad Street in Menasha. Van Susteren is now a brilliant light as switchboard engineer for the Westinghouse Co. Mis success is due principally to the invention of a device which automatically regulates the speed of a squirrel cage induction motor, by the action of a thermo couple which changes the resistance of the rotor bars. Koch is head of the extension division of the School of Engineering; is also a home-loving man. We were scarcely able to recognize him on the street the other day. He was in his Ford-Arrow, and the occupants of the car were apparently members of his immediate family, the relative number being correctly determined by the application of integral calculus, and in- tegrating between zero and infinity. Lovdale has just completed an extensive research on the effect of alcohol on the general efficiency of the human being. Due to the able presentation of his finding before congress, the dry act was just repealed, and the associa- tion of Brewers and Liquor Dealers have presented him with an appropriate Medal, and a recommendation to congress to place his bust in the Hall of Fame. Bocher’s general characteristics have led him to great success and fame as manager of the Good-Fellows Co-operative Association for the distribu- tion of wiring specialties. We also hear that his home life is very successful, superintended by an able and affectionate wife, without the use of a rolling pin. A startling headline in the sport edition of the Sunday paper led us to an investigation. S. of E. basketball quintet defeated the U. of 111. quintet by a score of 47 to 6. The result was accomplished by the able management of the athletic activities by Wieneke. Page Forly-tico Page Forty-three ,5THE H02O E. CSrit There’s a potent, pregnant something that true hearted men admire, And it isn’t form or beauty and it isn’t dash or fire; It’s a steady, pounding offense when the odds are very great, And a heavy stubborn defense when the cause is lost for sure; It’s the soul of all good fighters who strike at man or fate, Play clean throughout the struggle, strive, grin and—just endure. It’s the stuff they have within them, That lets no knock chagrin them, Take it, smile—and hit— It’s Grit! There’s a wild and tameless challenge that denies a beast or man, That says “You may outplay me, you must win it if you can, W But I’m here to strength-dispute it till the final whistle shrieks, ] And you’ll find your path blockaded though you still may stumble through; But I’m here to stand the stamping, I am a man who speaks, And I stand or fall thus speaking; ’tis all a man can do!’’ Such are men who take a licking Take it smiling, never kicking, Keep coming, never quit— Pure Grit! It’s the thing the world is needing in the life-game everywhere, The strength that passes knowledge, the fighter Samson's hair. The strong will kill the weakling, but this spirit is not.weak, It’s the everlasting something that wins its goal at last; The earth shall stand and listen when the Never-conquered speak. When the final game is over and the season’s strain is past. All who strike at them shall know it, For the fighters always show it, Not wisdom, brains or wit, But Grit!

MOTTO He who smokes hereafter, smokes forever; therefore smoke now. OFFICERS—NONE (All members being first-class pirates) PREAMBLE The underlying principle of this Grand Order is to promote the science of smoking so that the art may be saved from the Democrats. It will be re- membered that not long ago, on the sixteenth (16) of January In the year of our Lord, 1920, a good thing had to go. Therefore, be it Resolved, that the followers of the stem and butt, will not abuse a good thing, but always remember that those who follow us,— yea unto the hundredth generation, will also appreciate the aromatic weed introduced by the founder of this Grand Order—Sir Walter Raleigh. BY-LAWS 1. Cigars and Meerschaum pipes are strictly prohibited. 2. Members must furnish their own matches. 3. If sponging is necessary, do it with tact and diplomacy. 4. Do not sponge twice on the same man in the same day. 5. When “Cabbage” is used as a substitute, the other members should be given due notice in order to adjust their nose pieces (gas masks, etc.). REQUIREMENTS FOR A DEGREE Degrees are issued to all members after having satisfactorily obtained the golden luster, preferably on the tips of thumb and forefinger of right hand. Least, but not last, the applicant must have all those classes he did not miss during the subsequent semesters leading to the Port of Embarkation, at which time and in an appropriate manner befitting the solemnity of the occasion, be decorated with the skin of a perfectly good sheep on which shall be inscribed in nicotine brown the mystic letters “B.

Page Forty-five Page Forty-six Page Forty-seven m u X'4-TEE 1920 EMF JST Aimtrr to tin (graduates Although the following comments arc given primarily for the ‘‘Gradu- ating Engineers,” the graduating “E’ectrotechnicians” and “Electricians,” will no doubt find it of interest to them also. The writer has had a number of years of experience in the electrical field and believes he is in a position to write an article of this nature. W hether or not he succeeds in his attempt will be left to your own good judgment. Before I go any further, I believe it would be appropriate to mention that this article is based on the writer’s experience after leaving school several years ago. As a matter of fact I have found my experience to be a typical one of the college graduate entering the electrical field, as a means of making a live- lihood. The first thing it is necessary to do after leaving school is to find em- ployment. Some of us have been more fortunate than others in being em- ployed on a part time basis, while attending .school. To those who have been so employed my advice would be to remain with vour old employer. This will depend upon the circumstances in each individual case. If you have found your work of an interesting nature and if the opportunities for ad- vancement are good, it would be unwise to leave the employer who accom- modated you by giving you part time employment. Every one of us, although interested in electricity as a whole, has developed a liking for some particular branch of the field, be it motors, con- trollers. scientific investigations, etc. Those who have been less fortunate in not being employed after school will find it to their advantage to become connected with the manufacturer of the line in which they are particularly interested. You will find that to be your least difficulty. We will take it for granted that your services have been engaged. It is a common mistake for college itfen to demand large salaries immediately after leaving school. The majority of them learn in a very short time, to their advantage, that they are practically worthless to a manufacturer until they have been trained in the particular field they enter. For this reason you will find that you will be required to work for a small compensation until you are broken in. The time required to break in a new man depends entirely upon the individual. As you become more and more familiar with your work you will find that your compensation has gone up proportionately to your increased value to your employer. The majority of the fellows realize that the amount of compensation they receive depends upon their progress. The writer knows of a few cases where compensation is still based on medi- eval methods. Cases like these, however, are few and far between. It requires but a short time to learn that the investment you have made (attending school) is a paying one. Mr. O. W. Werwath has a very valuable saying, and if followed you will find it to be of great benefit to you. I am quite sure you have all heard it but for those who have not, I will repeat it here: “DON’T SLEEP WITH OPEN EYES.” You will receive a very valuable education by following the advice given in the above five words. You should realize that it is absolutely necessary to learn the smallest details of the business in which you become engaged. Page Forty-tight ZT Jk ==3£%_i:fflE 4920 EMF- It is of utmost importance to continue to study after leaving school. Read the trade papers in order to follow the progress in the art. The best way one has to acquire knowledge after leaving school is by reading. Most of us arc affiliated with the engineering societies. To those who are not so affiliated I would suggest that you become so at once. In this way you are able to meet the men of the industry and to learn from their experiences. We should all be interested in development and for this reason the writer be- lieves we owe it to the profession to become connected with the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Regardless of what problem vou are given to solve, never lose interest. The most that can be expected of you is that you do your best. It is not out of place to state that you will find problems that you cannot solve. Never give up without trying and do not become discouraged if you fail to find the proper solution. Conscientious endeavor is always appreciated. You will find as a rule that if good common sense is used you will be able to solve 95 out of every 100 problems without much difficulty, and that the remain- ing cases will readily be solved by consistent endeavor. It is of utmost importance to be loyal to the firm you are engaged with, if you expect to progress with it. Always look after the interest of the com- pany. Have confidence in your employer and he will have confidence in you. Occasionally one will find that his immediate superior is endeavoring to hinder one’s progress. You should realize that not even the boss, so to speak, can keep you from advancing, if your work is entirely satisfactory. Your progress might be temporarily stopped, due to actions of a superior who is less loyal to the firm than you, but such a condition cannot be permanent. Remember that the firm’s progress depends on your progress and that your progress depends upon the progress of the firm. It is a common failing among men in general to shift around from one job to another. Just about the time they become thoroughly familiar with their work they leave. Such actions might be winked at if done solely for the purpose of obtaining a varied experience. On the whole it is a very bad practice to shift from one job to another. By doing so one soon earns the reputation of being unreliable, which under no circumstances is a desirable reputation to have. The writer had occasion to travel considerably and call at the different manufacturing plants in the eastern part of the United States. It was a common experience to be offered attractive positions. However, I had confidence and was loyal to my employer and I believe my action in not accepting any of the offers was fully repaid. In conclusion T will state that it is just as important to know when to sever relations with an employer as it is to know when not to leave his em- ployment. In the writer’s case it was on account of the desire to return to school that he left his employer. It is not out of place to mention that the writer was informed that his position would be held open for him with an increase in salary if he decided to come back upon completion of his work at school. FRED W. DOPKE, President, Class 1920. JX2 ' : ’THE 1920 EHF' ——•—xr A ■Sw ijpauatian aa an Author The theoretical electricity text used in the engineering department has been quite severely criticised by a number of the Seniors. Inasmuch as the writer expects to finish at school in April, he feels safe in writing his opinion on the matter without getting in bad with the faculty. It never has been the writer’s opinion that the text in question is not a suitable one for students pursuing a course in electrical engineering. As a matter of fact, it is a very good one. I believe that all of the trouble lies in the fact that it requires con- siderable time to get the author’s meaning. As a brain developer the book fulfills its purpose. The present class has had a considerable amount of work, and could use all of the time they could get to advantage. Personally I did not find it dif- ficult to understand the text. However, in order to get the idea the author endeavored to convey, it was necessary to put in more time in this study than in any of the other studies. The question is: “Arc the benefits received suf- ficient to warrant the expenditure of all this time?” 1 do not think so. Outside of the fact that the book contains innumerable mistakes and mis- prints, it is a good book for engineering students who have the time to put into the study of the book. In regard to the mistakes, I will state that it is the idea of Mr. O. A. Paustian to revise the book and add practical illustrations to the text, im- mediately upon leaving school. There is not the slightest doubt in my mind but the book will be the most satisfactory text in electrical engineering on the market after the revised edition is on sale. The only difficulty I sec in Oscar’s accomplishing his purpose, lies in the fact that it will be necessary to convince the author that his book is entirely unsatisfactory in its present form. You’re on the right track, Oscar, keep it up. We need practical illus- trations in our text books. If the author refuses to consent to the changes you deem necessary, get sore at him and write a book of your own, Oscar. ANONYMOUS. ODDS AND ENDS Max in sub-station design. “Do you put washing machines on power or lighting load?” PERPETUAL MOTION Weineke proposes to step up 2.300 volts current to get all the power he needs. Professor Brown proposes that skin effect may be produced in a D. C. circuit by copper coating an annealed iron wire in an N-10 solution. Matthews in sub-station class: The power back in Schenectady is off the line every other night, a dozen times a year. Pete Van Susteren says the reason a 110-volt watt meter can not be used on a 45.000-volt line is because the needle would be wrapped around the point too often. Page Fifty Page Fifty-one 1 ✓ Hill We, the Senior class, feeling duly impressed with the majesty and solemnity of the occasion, do hereby make our last will and testament. 1. To Mr. Bovee we bequeath 16 volumes of “Berg Upson ’ to be fed to industrious and aspiring under-classmen as occasion warrants. 2. To Mr. Krotzer we bequeath our industriousness in tho electrical laboratory to be diligently used by him in the conduct of his duties. 3. To Mr. Black we bequeath our late reports in design, due to our great zeal in obtaining precise and accurate drawings before presenting them for correction. 4. To Mr. Vaughn we bequeath a semi-indirect, opaque, X-ray, Holo- phane, steel-enamel, Cooper-Hewitt, direct-lighting unit to be used by him in demonstrating to middle classmen the difference between specular, spread, and diffuse reflection. 5. To Mr. A. C. Ball we bequeath the 13 maxims of Equity to be used in future examinations as a test of memory. 6. To Mr. Brown we bequeath our knowledge of equivalent transformer circuits involving goo and boo to be used by him in testing future Seniors in the knack of deciphering hieroglyphics. 7. To Mr. Knox we bequeath our knowledge of parametric equations, sub-normals in polar coordinates, and irrational integrals to be used by him in feeding unsuspecting students. 8. To Mr. Kienth we bequeath an N-7.5 solution of K.,PB4 to be an- alyzed by Dr. Koch by filtering through a Gooch crucible and cooling in a dessiccator. 9. To Mr. Matthews we bequeath our knowledge of the radius of gyra- tion to be applied in finding the moment of inertia of a torpedo traveling toward the moon at a velocity of 79.556 kilo-meters per second when 9.756 miles distant from the earth’s surface at sea level. 10. To the Freshman class we bequeath experience gained in the dili- gent pursuit of our studies, and strongly urge them to avoid Grand avenue on a Saturday night. We recommend concentrated study of the following stanzas: My friend, have you heard of the town of yawn, On the banks of the River Slow, Where blooms the Wait-a-while flower fair, And the Somc-timc-or-other scents the air And the soft Go-easy’s grow? It lies in the Valley of What’s-the-use, In the province of Let-her-slide; That old “tired feeling” is native there— It’s the home of the listless I-don’t care. Where the Put-it-off’s abide. zx I'.itje Fifty-three m -THE 1192(0) Elt F A SENIOR EXPRESSES HIS VIEWS ON THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS (BEFORE JULY FIRST, 1919) “As I see things,” said K. W. Johnson, president of the Broader Thought Conversation Club in the village of Pierpont, “The League of Nations is too diabolical to articulate surreptitiously in an unmitigated congolcum of diverse circumstances, which condition, I reverberate, obtains both spasmodically and perennially in an inhibitory degree over all the major astronomical spots on earth. Human confibium, as I have always maintained, were as yet too peri- phrastic for co-operative mutuality.” Ed. Note: Mr. K. W. claims to be the only prose vorticist west of the equator. He seems to talk good sense, provided you don’t try to understand what he says. £ M if WOMEN They’re saucy and they’re fickle, and They’re mighty hard to please; We have to cater to them all Upon our bended knees. They’re fighty and inquisitive— Exasperatin’, too; And every man must find it out Somehow, before he’s through, They reason with a suddenness That makes a feller jump; And they don’t find it hard at all To make him look a chump. They cannot find a reason for A single thing they do. They jump at a conclusion with No valid cause in view. They’re fussy and they’re frivolous; Sometimes it seems that way;— They’re tender and they’re heartless, and They’re mournful and they’re gay; They’re prudish and they’re reckless, and In faults they all abound. They cost a lot of money, but Thev’re nice to have around. Page Fifty-four y Btmnmmg IX ffilasa (0fttm-a r. _ I ? W. J. Stransky ..............................................President H. J.

In Laboratory George always watches the field current because it always stays constant. George is also what you might call a tourist. It is known that he has traveled to Bay View. Waukesha, North Milwaukee; and some say that he has even been as far as Palestine. The good part of it is that he always benefits by his travels by bringing something back with him. ’Sail right George, but we can’t get out of Milwaukee. We wonder how it seems to be a popular little Spanish student, with enough talent to get by on the 'Orpheum Circuit. Migueis has a voice like Caruso himself. With his little senioretta partner, a few of those Spanish dancing steps he has shown to us and a line or two of his noble and ever ready advice, he would surely be a riot on the stage. But Migueis don’t believe in riots, especially in the classroom, and is, consequently, making a very apt South American Engineer. From all appearances, Milwaukee will have a couple of very able and ambitious young representatives in the Orient in 1921. Rumors tell us that Ho Sam will represent a certain chemical firm of this city in that country, and that Lowcock will be right with him in the electrical trade. Now these particular dyes that Sam will handle, have proved themselves a success in the Burlesque Costume camouflage in Milwaukee, but!!!!—Are there anv Burlesque Shows in China. Sam? As for Hank’s line,—well we know how electrical goods will sell any place. Nevertheless, we, as your friends, wish you the best of success in your future trades, and as a word of encourage- ment. we will add. that in case of failure in China. Milwaukee has a few very good sites for Chop Suey Restaurants or Laundries, which, with you as proprietors, would receive our steady cash patronage. Rogers is our musician. His saxophone is his only pride and joy and when he talks to it. it talks right back with a vigorous flow of jazz. He can do anything with it but make it work calculus. When he performs that little stunt we arc all going to take music lessons. He and his gang furnish all of the jazz for the dances given by the different school organizations. We are beginning to believe that he would make a better musician than an en- gineer. Although Buchan is from Minnesota, he is by no means one of those persons for which Minnesota is so well noted. He came to Milwaukee in September, but it was on Hallowe’en that some one wrecked his he°.rt. He has been trying to get the said party ever since, making his attempts mostlv in the evenings. This should explain to Prof. Bovee why he is late almost every Monday morning. Page Sixty-seven s -TifflE 119: —� X Milwaukee’s only contribution to our class is Heubner, who is a very in- dustrious student and we doubt very much if Cutler-Hammer could do without him in their testing department. He attends all social functions that lie hears of and sometimes takes his friends along. Cutler-Hammer gave a Christmas party to which lie invited five of his friends. But what surprised us most was the announcement made the next morning. Rather confidentially he said, “Fellows, I’ve got a new sweetie now.” Well, George, “You win.” Lee is a man who likes good company, so he keeps his own company most of the time. A man of ideas, he sticks to them. One of his ideas is, as O. W. says: “Girls are the negative plates.” Lee thinks that his battery will work with only a positive plate. Your theory may be right, Lee. but it won’t work out in practice. It has been tested and proved by some of your class- mates. Greve and Groth—they cat together, sleep together, go to school together, and dance together, that is—together separately—if you grasp our meaning. All of their reports are in, and now they arc in the social whirl. Groth is our official shimmy dancer and Greve our little blushing rose. (Everyone wonders how two who are so different live together.) We all remember the first shimmy that Groth staged for us, and even Lyman gave him a call- ing down when he returned home in the wee hours of the morning. Weren't you really ashamed, Harry? If you have lost your pep, are feeling blue, ready to jump in the cold waters of Lake Michigan for some such insignificant reason as a death in the family, a bawling out by an instructor, or a bill due for your tuition, and wish to be cheered up in the most simple and pleasing manner, go to Goljen- boom and have him tell you a few stories. He is the best versed man of to-day in his line, (some line) and is always willing to let his supply of wit and humor flow forth to those who prove to be an.attentive audience. George is doing a good work, for the happiness of the students must be the first con- sideration. Has anyone ever noticed a certain one of our classmates wearing a very dejected, disgusted, or troubled look on his face? We’ve noticed Mr. Bovee insists on conversations with him, but that's not out of the ordinary; and be- sides, Gramzow’s so darned quiet anyway that he wouldn’t let us in on any- thing, even if it were not personal. We arc not inquisitive, but we would just like to know. Some fellows come to Milwaukee and stay for years without going home; others come and stay nine months or so. while still others deem it necessary to go home for the Christmas holidays, but who can find the reason for Stransky’s going home every week-end with never a miss? We know he is a home-loving young man, but even then, why so often? We at least hope you’ll remember each of your classmates with one of the announcements. Harold Percy Alborn, generally known as “Percy,” is a soldierly young gentleman from Wauwatosa. Now, from what we hear, Percy, in the Indian language, means Long Flair, and we venture to say that if Percy were an Indian he would rival the most comely brave with his beautiful raven locks. But who ever saw a red skin so studious and well versed in Magnetic Theory as Percy? All ye knowledge seekers, consult Percy. Walter. Page Sixty-eight Page Sixty-nine «j w 4_-i3MEjp20 EHF -.J5SS M ri Ve have all heard of small towns producing great men, but Barron, as the name implies, has been unable to fulfill his duty to the world. It is the hcighth of Blassingham's ambition to return home to his fellow strugglcrs and show them that his birthplace and home at least produced the makings of a great man, surpassed only by Will. Jennings Bryan. Blassingham is an ardent worker for the cause of grape-juice. He was Creston's donation to us, so we must keep our watchful eyes upon him. We lost track of him the second week in January, and Rip Van Winkle had absolutely nothing on him when he returned to our midst. His beard was shaggy and his knees were weak, and we thought he had contract- ed the dreadful sleeping sickness. Fellows, keep your eyes on “Daddy” Davis and don’t let him stray out too late another night for fear we lose him. When it comes to making connections and applying O. K.’s, we all take off our hats to Ellison. But his ambitions will never be satisfied until he is Eddy’s assistant in Prof. Bovee’s office. They are both good men—do nothing but work—that’s the reason we know so little about them. Wickus is a lad whose middle name should be punctuality. He knows the State St. car schedule better than he knows Ohm’s Law. One thing he does miss and that is his train connections at Madison. How he comes to miss this particular connection with only a fifteen minute interval between trains is something that he will not explain. Ralph is another one of the our boys who has to go home every week-end, so we imagine that it is rather in- convenient for him to miss his train every time. He has our sympathy, and if he wishes our congratulations we will be glad to extend them to him. Z is for Zeunert. who lives in Cedarburg. We were never in Cedarburg, but it must be quite a place, for “O. W.” sometimes takes a little trip up there. Eugene will surely be a good engineer. He is also getting to be quite a social personage, but lie still gets a little fussed while introducing his friends. Rogers had been in the habit of excusing himself from Mr. Bovee’s class as he had taken the work already. One day as he was about to leave Mr. Bovec said: “You’d better stay in class, Rogers. You might learn some- thing.” Have you noticed how privileged Alborn is in Mr. Bovee’s class? always has a front seat. Reason: caution. He One day in the lab. Huebner was reading the volts across the armature of a machine under test. About half way through the test it was found that the voltage would have to be changed from 240 to 120. Huebner had been reading the volts as 148. and when the change was made to 120 the meter did not change at all. Huebner had connected the leads across the field and was wondering what the-trouble was. “How did you come out on that surprise exam?” “Oh! it knocked me cold.” “How is that?” “Somewhere below zero.” Page Seventy Page Seventy-one f rj sssSSSs THE i92d EMF-5' ................... Oiljp Number “I U$= SSKhM ■w y V The game is to watch the number thirteen and notice how it worked it- self into my army experience. This is all taken from my personal record: Before I was called into the service I was attending the S. O. E. In April, 1918, my number was reached in my district; the number being 858 (13x66). After receiving my notice J at once made arrangements to leave the city, and on the way home 1 crossed Lake Michigan for the 13th time. On April 26th (13x2) 1 became a number, instead of an individual, in the National Army. 1 was sent to Camp Custer, where they assigned me to 13th Co. 160 Depot Brigade. From here to Headquarters Co. 338th (13x13x2) Infantry, which was a part of 169th (13x13) Infantry Brigade. Saturday, July 13th, 1918, the 338th Infantry left Camp Custer. The train that carried the Headquarters Company, as part of its load, contained just 13 cars. I stayed a few days at Camp Mills, Long Island. New York, theA went to the Transport “Orca;” well 1 remember the name. This boat was one of a convoy of 13; sailed from New York harbor just 13 weeks from the time I had become a soldier. The voyage from New York to Liverpool took 13 days. If it was the number 13 that caused the slip and sent me to France in- stead of northern Russia, as had been the plan, I am satisfied. Passing into France, the 338th Infantry took up its headquarters in a little town south of Paris, by the name of Tancere, on the 13th of August. The following day found me in the hospital there; it was a French hotel. My room was No. 12; I was confined there for 13 days. A few days with my company proved that I was too weak to stand the grind, so back I went to the hospital. This time my room was No. 14. There was no No. 13. It is a difficult proposition to find the No. 13 in any French hotel. I was not haunted by this number for some time after that, but was lucky enough to receive my discharge in France, at St. Aignan on May 7th, 1919. From here I went to Paris to live. I made that my home for eleven weeks, through the months of May. June and July. One more week at St. Malo and still another at Brest makes a total of 13 weeks from the time of discharge till I sailed for home on the “U. S. S. Northern Pacific.” I did my final checking out, which made me once more a free man. on August 13th. 1919, just 13 months from the time I left camp for parts, at that time unknown. I returned well and happy, having had a wonderful trip. Can you blame me for betting all I have on No. 13? Yes, I will throw in that other quarter. L. A. E.

CLASS REUNION Many Noted Engineers Present at Banquet At the Hotel Pfister last night was gathered a remarkable assemblage, when the Electrical Engineers ot the Class of 1921 of the School of Engineer- ing celebrated the tenth anniversary of their graduation. Among those pres- ent were some of the most noted leaders of their profession. The toast-master. Mr. C. E. Buchan, is widely known on account of his research in the YVest- inghouse laboratories, especially regarding the electrolytic properties of chewing gun. Mr. L. F. Blassingham, designing engineer 01 G. E. fame, responded to the first toast by presenting to the class, with a few well-chosen words, the last of his stock of the “real old stuff.” A good talk was given by Mr. Geo. Rick, Professor of Engineering Math- ematics at Corncob University. It was enlivened with his old-time humor. At this time. Mr. Sam Lee of Peking. China, presented the regrets of Mr. Ho Sam, his friend and colleague, who is engaged in a project requir- ing his constant personal supervision. All were interested in the speech by Mr. Herculano Migueis on the sub- ject of his problems and opportunities in Brazil. Another interesting fea- ture of the program was a talk by Mr. Lyman Grcve, of the firm of Groth Greve, contracting engineers, describing the splendid new buildings the firm has just completed for the School of Engineering. Several were surprised to learn that Davis had already built up a thriv- ing legal practice. He is specializing in brcach-of-promisc and divorce cases. The name of Stransky, illuminated engineer, shines as the inventor and sole owner of the celebrated Stranskylight. We hope he will some day make another one. The class was entertained by one of Davis’s clients. Mile. Zanoza. who performed an excellent and astonishing interpretative dance called “Little Pattering Snowdrops.” This came as a refreshing interlude between the speeches. Rogers, now a prosperous Western Electric salesman, nearly sold some of the class a new wattless cigarette lighter, invented by G. Huebner. It operates on the blast of air from an ordinary electric fan. or even from an orator like Wickus. It thus requires practically no current, when plugged into a thcc-phase lighting socket. The expenses of the affair were met by Mr. I.. Gramzow. who is now independent through the legacy from his great-uncle’s third wife’s second cousin, lie now fills a large place in the social circles of Hoboken, and pur- sues the engineering profession as a hobby. Prof. Eddy, of the S. O. E. faculty, told the class how greatly their in- fluence had been missed. The class, almost unanimously, gave him its sympathy. Those absent, besides Mr. Ho Sam. were: Messrs. Ellison. Goljcnboom. Lowcock and Alborn. Several of those present asked about Alborn. but no one had any news of him. It seems very strange—his school career was so full of promise for his future. H. P. ALBORN.

All things have a beginning—our beginning as a class began in the sum- mer of 1917—fifty of us—occupying most of the space of the school which at that time was situated in the Stroll building. These conditions were soon changed, however, upon the removal of the College of Electrical Engineering to its present location. We were impressed, and distressed; impressed by the vast field of Elec- trical Engineering, distressed financially by the existing conditions at that time. But those days are gone:— “Oh Friend, forever loved, forever dear, What fruitless tears have bathed thy honnour’d bier.” Lord Byron. Early in 1918 the original class was divided into two separate classes. For that, and similar reasons, the class to-day is not the one that originally started, only four men of that class now being with us. Some left school, some entered the service; new men entered from time to time from other classes, and from other colleges and universities. Some former students re- turning from service were placed with us to finish their course. The “final close up” shows us as we have always been—BUSY. L. B. and G. R. Qferut IX Humor If Stransky (explaining to Doc. Ycaton how he worked a calculus problem) ‘I can do it that way, but I doubt if you can.” One morning room 159 was cold and Mr: Black wanted to open the windows. The class objected, and Mr. Black said: “I’ll furnish the hot air.” Have you noticed how Groth has been shaking lately? No, he isn’t cold. He was out to a dance the night before and hasn’t got through shimmying yet. Blassingham (reciting in mathematics) : “Two plus two is approximate- ly four.” A. C. Ball: “A proposal is a contract in which the consideration is a promise for a promise.” Lowcock: “If a fellow writes a letter to a girl telling her that he will marry her and signs his name could she hold him to it?” What do you mean, “hold him” Hank? Fellows, have you met Sam Lee’s uncle yet? He has a laundry on Wells street. 1'oge Seventy-six Two reasons why Greve and Groth attend fraternity meetings: Cigars and punch. One morning Wickus was taking a nap in calculus class. Stransky was about to punch him so that Doc. Yeaton wouldn’t see him, when Yeaton re- marked: “Don’t be so rough with him Stransky. Let him sleep a-while.” Eddy is working in Mr. Brown’s office correcting papers. He reports that lie has learned two more applications for the formula: Force is equal to the mass times the acceleration. Ellison discovered to be an 1. W. W. (1 Worship Women.)

Calculus Problem: Differentiate pi with respect to (a). Answer: If we let (a) stand for appetite the whole class proves them- selves skilled mathematicians. Lowcock was asked why the efficiency was not taken into consideration when figuring the secondary current of a transformer, from the rating. “Oh, that’s the outcome of the transformer.” “Say, Rogers, did you study your math, hist night?” “Yes. We spent all our time extracting the root of log x in the park last night.” Mr. Bovee has entered the commercial field. Tic has accepted a position as collector for the McGray-Hill Company. He now starts his lectures with this refrain: “Did I get four dollars from everybody for McGraw-Hill?” JOKES Alborn is working on a novel electric heater. It is designed for 220 volts, 3 phase. It has three heating coils disconnected in Y, that is, the neutral ends are brought near together but not in contact. Thus the resist- ance is infinity, and the current zero. Then I-R—0X00. which is inde- terminate. Therefore the heater will give any amount of heat desired. It is regulated by a small dial on the front.

This pep and loyalty is the direct result of numerous class meetings held during law periods. These law periods, were chosen for this purpose, because we wanted to practice parlimentarv pro- cedure. after listening to Prof. Ball's previous experiences which occurred while he practiced law in the thriving metropolis of Illinois—Pontiac. These meetings were always called for some definite purpose, such as the election of officers or other necessary evils. However, they always ended in a deci- sion in favor of some social function, such as the class dance. This dance was the headliner of a number of brilliant series of social events, which will continue to take place throughout our senior year. This event took place on the twentieth day of November in the Wisconsin Players Hall, and was attended by the class members and their friends. The evening was spent in dancing to the good music furnished by our saxaphone artist Mr. Rogers, who is a master at producing “jazz” music. The Jazz Music was enjoyed by all of us. and especially by Mr. and Mrs. Hartman, whenever it happened to be a waltz. The waltzing turned to sail ng when Stransky and Wickus brought in the punch. The punch, although lacking a kick, seemed to cheer and inebriate, in fact it was so good that several of the “tuffer” element of our class finished it in their room, much to the disgust of the rest of the members. Several of the dancers had a little party, given in honor of Mr. Ralph Wickus by—well, we all understand the situation. Mr. Wickus hails from the wilds of Baraboo, but please let this statement cast no reflections upon the party. This party was a very pretty affair and the beauty was greatly improved upon by Mr. Greve, who added a little local coloring in the form of deep crimson blushes. Besides dancers we have several noted athletes in the class, and to show our appreciation the class stands 100% in the athletic association. 'The other activities are the A. I. E. E. and the Phi Delta Omega societies. In the A. I. 1C. E. we have a 100% membership. The assistant chairman, the highest student officer, is one of our class. Mr. Lowcock. please bow and collect the flowers. Speaking of flowers, Mr. Greve has a couple of roses coining for being secretary of the Phi Delta Omega society.

If you'd like to win, but think you can’t, It’s almost a cinch you won't. If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost. For out of the world we find Success begins with a fellow’s will, It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you’re outclassed, you are; You’ve got to think to rise. You’ve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man; But soon or late the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can. fj CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH At last our class begins to improve in every respect, which only rcllects to our own benefit and credit. We are improving because we are realizing that education is not the whole foundation of success. 'The foundations upon which true manhood lies, must be: first, cemented together with the other one, Education, “and then we shall be ready to erect the building of” “Success.” In other words, success goes hand in hand with true manhood and education. To build success on education alone will give the same disastrous results as to erect a house on ice. Let’s, then, make this and the following terms successful ones by living up to the standards of true manhood and by falling in love with our books. “Graduation Day” is not very far off any more, and the greater our efforts and application to our studies, the more successful will be that glorious and happy day. Many days of hard work arc still ahead of us, probably many “ups” and “downs,” too, but with all our good New Year’s resolutions, we will be, at the end, victorious in our struggle for the “B.

Pung, by his secret methods of atmospheric control caused January 11, to be an ideal day. The class, six strong, assembled at the bachelor apartments of Schroeder and Sabatke. Havlick, a car company employee, financed the fares at the company’s expense. At the park we encountered our miniature member Ervin Riebe, making a party of seven. Reynolds and Sabatke had a thrilling ride on the toboggan slide. Fritchell tried to imitate and took a scat behind one of the fair sex. His ride was thrilling because of the many slaps encountered. Schroedcr suggested that we follow him to the home of our ancestors. The journey ended in front of a monkey cage. After watching the monkeys for a while, we decided to imitate some of their jokes and tricks. Riebe scrambled into a vacant cage, pursued by Havlick. Suddenly the screaming of a baby attracted us. On investigation we found that the baby’s carriage was used by Smith, who used Schroeder as a substitute for the baby. About this time Sabatke. by his farmer instinct, discovered an ancient horse hitched to a sled. The assistance of Schroeder and Smith was necessary to make the horse move. The fair sex about the park were getting pretty attractive to the party. Smith and Schroeder made a bold attempt to get pictures of a pair and were given a cold reception. We stopped on a hill and Havlick tried his luck on Skis. Schroeder demonstrated his ability in sliding on Skis. Reynolds delighted in watching the young ladies taking tumbles while coasting. We left the ski slide, and were determined to get acquainted with some of the “dames” around the skating rink. Fritchcl discovered two that he termed most compelling to look at. Before he could get familiar, Smith and Schroeder, carried olT the flowers of victory. Sabatke discovered two of his acquaintances, and Started off to Highland boulevard, a region very familiar to him. The rest of the party disbanded by a unanimous vote, having in their possession three reels of pictures of events of the day. E. G. S. HOW WE SPEND OUR SUNDAY AFTERNOONS Page Eighty-nine $ 4 k ..tp -THE 1920 E ' ■ ■ £—rjL, ®ur lExpernttr a Hitlj tljp Jffantliu I he individual members of the class do not have many experiences with the faculty. Whenever any faculty member has anything to do with anyone of Engineering VII, he can figure on having something to do with the whole class. The members of the class stick together like a father sticks to his children. It seemed as if our reputation with Prof. Bovee was NG at the beginning of the fall term. As we figure it out, Mr. Bovee had that opinion of us and therefore decided that it would not give him much pleasure in lecturing to 11s. He therefore saw to it, that Prof. Kartak lectured to us. We were eager to lose our bad reputation as poor students and consequently began the new term right. We studied harder than ever and, in general, tried our best to do better work. As a result of this, we got along very nicely with Prof. Kartak. Now, at the beginning of a new term, we have Mr. Bovee lecturing to us again in electricity. We wonder if it could be that Mr. Bovee has been so quickly convinced that we are now doing better work or is he just -taking a chance with us. Perhaps the schedule just happened to be such that lie should lecture to us. Even if we say that we are trying to do better work, Prof. Yeaton does not believe it. He keeps on saying, “I don’t know what is the matter with you fellows, but I can only figure on half of you being present at any time.” True, professor, but if you had a class of thirty and four were absent each day, you would consider the attendance fairly good. Well, four of our eight are no more than four of a class of thirty. But all the same, we know that if we had only the textbook in calculus we would know nothing of the subject. All we know about calculus we acquired from listening to Mr. Ycaton’s lectures. But, we don’t know much. This, however, is not due to the honorable pro- fessor. We tried to reform from cutting school days now and then, but the healthy air of autumn tempted us again and again until one day we broke our resolu- tion. That day was armistice day. The morning students were to appear in class the first three periods, but we, Engineering VII, did not. The next day our guardian, Prof. J. D. Ball conversed with us and from thence we were a good class, at least two of us being there at any time. Even if Mr. Ball was the man whose duty it was to make us behave—and he did it—all of us liked him and regretted his sudden departure from our midst. Even if we will see him frequently, we miss his lectures. Everyone of us admits that we ac- quired more knowledge out of one of his lectures than we would out of sev- eral books. Engineering VII was very fortunate to have for an electro-chemical lab- oratory instructor a professor of such great ability as Mr. Edward Wesle. The same thing is true in this case as it is in Mr. Ycaton's class, viz., with the book alone, we would know nothing of the chemistry of electrochemistry. Our present knowledge of electrochemistry is due to Mr. Eddy’s interesting and explanatory lectures. Also, Prof. Bovee succeeded in forcing some knowledge of this interesting subject into our craniums. Page Ninety V,_M ,,,-,, 'THE 4920 EMF | USE SSfe. Engineering VII is not different from any other class. Everybody says, “Our friend, Mr. Kienth.” We say the same quite often. Prof. Matthews is also a friend of everybody, but he is not the .same kind of a friend that Prof. Kienth is. viz., a friend who has the “Givemes.” Another thing, you cannot begin an argument with Mr. Matthews because he does not waste his time that way. Mr. Kienth. on the other hand, is a ready debater on any subject. Perhaps he does not consider arguing waste of time. SINCE JANUARY 1. 1920. Erwin Sabatke is awake. Harold Vinje came to school three times. Erwin Riebc did not smoke. Edgar Schrocder became an A. I. E. E. member. Ewald Fritschcl did not go out with girls. Carl Smith has not been working. Paul Reynolds washed dishes at the Boston Lunch. Joe Havlick has shaved exactly 13,678 times. Reynolds to J. Havlick: There arc two foreigners in school now, one from Siam and the other from Nebraska. THE BEST WAY TO KILL AN ASSOCIATION Don't attend meetings. If you do attend, come late. If weather is a bit disagreeable, stay away. When you do attend, be a grouch and find fault with the officers, with what they do and the way they do it. Never accept an office—it is much easier to grouch, criticise and find fault than to do things. Get sore and kick because you are not appointed on a committee—if you are, do not attend the committee meetings; then tell everyone how things really should be done. When called upon by the chairman, act indifferent, as disagreeable as possible and say nothing; if you do say anything show signs of being hurt. Promise to join the association and then hold back in your dues as long as you can. If you are asked to get a new member, act as if you were peeved or too big for such work—promise to and then don’t do it. When the association adopts a resolution ignore it—pretend it was for your competitor but not for you, and when questioned about it say you did not know anything about it. Don’t do any more than you have to; what you do, do unwillingly, and when others get in and roll up their sleeves and unselfishly do their utmost to help matters along, set up a howl that the association is run by a gang of dishonest persons.

Page Ninety-two SOME BUNCH This a class that knows a whole lot, Yes, they always hit the spot. In studying and skipping they’re always right there, They’re always in class unless on a tear. There is in this gang a man called Sabatkc, And, oh boy, what a devil amongst girls lie is. He works in the basement of the Boston Store Where lie sees many pretty girls by the score. There’s Reynolds and Schroeder, both men very brave. And are in the class to study and not to slave. But when it comes to a game of football, They’re there to win or to lick them all. The T. M. E. R. L. Co. has a young man with them Who helps take care of the distribution system. Joe Havlick is the man who does most of this work. And does it willingly and without a shirk. There is Smith, who is still working for the I-C. And gets paid for loafing by this small company. But the time he is looking for is drawing near. When perhaps he may be called some kind of an engineer Riebe, who sometimes sharks in Doc Ycaton’s math.. Is a promising young man who is following the right path. He may become an engineer or probably a mathematician. But one thing he won’t be. is a punk first class electrician. There’s Vinjc who’s been with us for a very short time, And his pleasure, is to give Sabatke a pretty good time, lie comes to our classes just once in a while. But “he should worry.” because in this class it’s the style. Fritschel, no doubt, is a pretty good hash slingcr. For this is the way he earns all his dinners. No wonder he can say. Oh Boy!

May she always have as fine a group of men as she has now. Men of the world; men who, though yet young, are cut out for big things; men who scorn the knocks of this cruel, old world and turn defeat into victory with a smile. We are proud of our past, and are more than hopeful for the future. We are only at the eastern horizon of our lives, just peeping up for our first look at the big, wide world, as the sun at early morn. And as the sun, we shall rise upward and upward,-always advancing, never receding. And so we shall rise to the zenith of our lives and accomplish our purpose in life. 'Then, as the sun sets, and casts its long, purple shadows over the world as a reminder of the work it has done during the day, so shall we try to ac- complish something worthy of note, something that will help our fellow men over some rocky path, something that will make us a success, both in our own eyes, and in the eves of our fellow men. AMONG US MORTALS Another year has rolled around and we find ourselves confronted by a quite momentous problem : that of accounting for ourselves for the year just past. We say a problem, and it surely is when one notes the marvelous changes time has wrought among us. A class history seems to us quite trite. We therefore waive the privilege of tendering our history and instead, introduce ourselves to our new school-mates and remind our older friends that we are still very much alive and still doing business. We will start in by introducing I. L. Illing, student, engineer and typist. Mr. Illing is a man of large stature and fine physique, stands six feet six in his stocking feet, and strikes a four hundred pound blow. As a typist, he performs well. lie plays that mellow toned instrument, the typewriter, with heart rending expression and wonderful technique. This classmate is in a class by himself. Next we wish to present George Wareham, thinker, mathematician and checker player. As a checker player he is without a peer. Mr. Wareham has delved deeply into a multitude of subjects. He loves calculus, is an authority on women, and has a wonderful wealth of flowing, golden tresses. We look to this member of our class family for our fatherly advice. And now we come to Edward Theel. He is a man of business, and a conscientious worker. Mr. Theel’s great hobby is English. The story goes that an English teacher once called for some short poems. Edward submitted the following, which the censor refuses to print. Let us next present R. L. Cassell, inventor, futurist, and a senior member of the firm “Powers and Cassell.’’ He holds many patents on his novel in- ventions. It was he that noted the heating effect when a current was passing through a coil of resistance wire. He simply reversed the current direction and got cold, instead of heat, out of the coil. Now he is designing a new line of iceless ice boxes. Consult him on any knotty problem. He thrives on them. We must also speak of Robert Powers, a man of great foresight, and a designer without equal. He can light up a cigar, go into a trance and. Ye Gods, the products of his fertile brain ooze forth as the sap from .the budding maple tree. His theory of obtaining more from less startled the world, but Page Ninety-seven y 'THE 1920 EETF his teat of soldering a brick bat to a telegraph pole and making the joint electrically perfect, has made his name one which will always stand among the names of great men. But let us look farther into our realm of notables. There is Laurel Hassel a man who doesn’t care where or when. His motto is, “Any old time, any old place.” Laurel is tall and stately from his pink ears to his flat feet. He is a man of speed; can write a final in twenty minutes, and never get a question right. That reminds us of the time Laurel first shone forth in his soldier suit and carried an umbrella to shade his eyes. If you don’t know him, meet him. He is well worth knowing. Then there is Anton Schneider, well known golfist, clubman and lounge lizard. At present he is busy engaged in writing a new work on, “Why women close their eyes when they are kissed.” Anton has spent a great deal of time in research work on this subject. He has kissed women of all races, color, religious denominations, married, and single. Congratulate him, he deserves it. And then there is the well known mechanic Howard Snider, let us introduce him. He is so good at mechanics that he can take a machine apart, put it back together wrong and it will run better than ever. He is a square sort of fellow, goes out with the women once in a while, and chews gum, but outside of that lie is a regular guy. If we had more like him the old world would assume a brighter outlook. Last but not least comes Arnold Ericcson, a man of small stature but mighty mind. lie surely missed his calling when he chose engineering. With his ability to ask questions he should have taken up law. Arnold is a Y. M. C. A. enthusiast and an all around peppy supporter of the S. O. E. If you want to know a booster next to Mr. Kienth, Swede is the gentleman. He is a designer, buss boy and stenographer. ,._WS ITEMS The new record set by a stenographer for taking dictation is 324 words per minute. Of course the stenographer must have been pretty fast, but how about the guy dictating. Kansas Daily News: Wanted—dancing partner; must be able to shake a mean hoof. Jefferson News: Mr. Illing. who is attending the School of Engineering at Milwaukee, has shown a keen interest in his class affairs and has been elected reporter for his class. It might be added that he had wished upon him several more offices of great importance. Who said so? We all say so. Daddy Wareham knows a few interesting stories. We wonder why it is we can never catch Powers home on a Friday night. Illing can beat the .324 words per minute record, he says so himself. Schneider A. said his new address is in the center of the street. When friend Cassell is not busy arguing with Powers on deep electrical matters about using A. C. meters when D. C. meters should be used, he is writing letters in Old English. Piuje Ninety-eight One would say Snider H. figures out by calculus what curve a trunk must take to get from one point to another in the least amount of time, be- cause he seems well trained in those particular branches of service. Theel's ease in which he carrys his books to school could tell many a story about eats. Shorty E. wants to know—but what’s the use of asking all those ques- tions over. Any question arising any where, any time, any place, to the misunder- standing of everyone concerned can easily be explained by Kassel. S. I. ■p m - ! Ill I. FLUNKEM CO., Inc. Mr. B. A.

Illing and P. G. Krippner KAPPA IOTA SIGMA SOCIETY Realizing the great need for a suitable substitute for the present bulky and inefficient chemical storage battery, the two scientists mentioned above have at last completed plans for an efficient accumulator. As will be evident the principle of operation is based on the electron theory. After considerable theoretical experiment it has been found that the electrons traveling through the air at an enormous rate (as for instance between a spark gap will become white hot and result in an optical illusion similar to a comet’s tail. The problem before these men was to arrest these electrons in transit (there being no other means of isolating them) and store them for future use. £ OPERATION: SPASM 1. Referring now to the diagram below: By closing the switch S the “Do- More’’ hydrated cells will cause the juice to chase through the inductive boost- er IB and cause a lightning-like spark to meander between the platinum balls B. Immediately upon the beginning of this operation the syncronizer, at- tached to the vibrator of the inductive booster, or improved induction coil, will start the polyphase D. C. motor M. This in turn operates the oscillating disk Z which propels the piston-like chopper CH and causes same to shiver at an enormous rate in a vertical direction. Page One Hundred One THE 4920 EK IF The Synhronizer is so arranged that it controls the motor to a nicety and the chopper is brought down just in time to arrest the progress of the electron as it is passing the notch N. Having lost its inertia the little electron will now roll down into the flask F. It is very necessary that this notch be hewed in a quartz block so as not to interfere with the electrical progress of the electron. The flask is made of Jucifer Metal, a non-conductor specially designed to hold electrons. As the electrons are invisible, means must be provided for ascertaining when the flask is full. Consequently a tap is brought out near the top which will cause a short circuit when the limit of the jug is reached. The electrons, upon being allowed a method of escape, will run through the circuit to the ground, making the Noiseless bell ring furiously and cause a great commo- tion. This notifies the operator that sufficient electrons have been isolated and the mechanism may be stopped. SPASM 2. U Since the suffering public is in immediate need of a priceless substitute for gasoline, the first industrial application has been worked out along these lines. The speedster illustrated below is not designed to conserve power by offering low wind resistance as the method described above generates an un- limited quantity of juice. It is estimated that the cells shown in the previous drawing will operate the speedster for four seasons operating continuously. However, the power produced may be calculated from the following formula: V Ctrl uj After the electrons are isolated they are poured into the tank T of the car and same is now ready for use. The operator assumes a comfortable position behind the wheel W and closes the circuit by means of the control panel P. The course of the electrons is. of course, apparent. Flowing first through the motor, through the controlling box and frame of the car. they finally reach the metal studded wheel Q and escape to the ground. Mounted directly in front of the panel is a special reinforced “Shimmy” bell to indicate the supply of power still present in the tank. On July 1st of each year the operator must close the switch S. If the bell rings he still has sufficient power to last another season and need not worry until the next July 1st. Page One Hundred Two •TEE fi920 EMF-'_____ .... SPASM 3. Since the operator controls the entire supply of electrons in the tank he may allow an unlimited number to flow through the motor at one time and hence the speed of the car is Qo. The device described above is very effi- cient. In fact the only losses that can occur is the waste of electrons to notify the operator that the flask is filled to capacity. At first sight it would appear that the device would not work when running on an insulated pavement because a ground could not be established, but the contrary is true. The pavement, acting on the principle of a plate in a condenser, would absorb all the electrons and later discharge them to the ground. Caution: It is very necessary that an induction coil be used in the isola- tion of these electrons since they must all be of the same polarity. I11 case a transformer be used a positive electron would first be isolated and then a negative one. Consequently when they rolled into the receptacle they would neutralize each other and nothing would be gained. Realizing the commercial future of this great invention the inventors have opened offices for the manufacture of this device. However, due to the fact that the discovery is such an important one that the inventors would be certain to be drowned with inquiries and offers, they have thought best to keep the address a secret. Princely salaries have already been refused and many excellent offers rejected by the originators of this device for the manu- facture of chemically pure electricity. However, for the advancement of science these gentlemen have condescended to explain the device further to anyone interested. Send us your name and address, together with 25 cents in stamps and your questions will be answered in the due course of business. N.

As you all know, electricity is one of our strongest agents and therefore must be handled with extreme carelessness during research work. Group Y-B during the fall term of 1919, widely known as the A. A. A. B. because of their appraised work along these lines, were then performing ex- periments with direct current generators. In order to introduce this group, which was never known for any sudden outbreak of genius, 1 note that it is made up of a trouble hunter, a business manager of a well known paper, a short-circuit tester, latin translate!-, etc. I will endeavor to explain by sev- eral processes how this group has endeavored to begin and to keep up with science, which dales back about as far as the year 600 BC. As we all know that the mysterious birth of electrical science began when a piece of amber was rubbed with certain materials, so it was found by Mr. Hough of Virginia that by placing his hand near a revolving belt, that faint purple sparks about 62.5 millimeters long could be obtained. These sparks would jump from the hand to the belt and back again in order that Kirchoff needn’t bother about any more laws for us to study. Mr. Thiel, of whom little is known in the social circle, and Mr. Bert of South America became .so interested that it took fully half an hour before the real experiment assumed an operative state. As great as this discovery was, with all of its imaginative influence, it had not taken effect upon Mr. Albert, who produced his masterpiece of liter- ature which was greatly praised by Mr. Fox. It was during these stages of electrical .science that the laws of nature and literature were greatly dis- cussed, causing science to drift backwards for many years. Mr. Bert began to see that it was futile to come at such an hour as the first period so that all hope for his help in carrying on experiments was lost. After several hours had been set aside, Doctor Yeaton found that it was necessary to start some- thing to change the hour of his class; this proved to be a useless task. It was during these attempts that a business man of Louisiana began to take charge of that wonderful paper, showing a great improvement, not on a speculative basis but on a sure footing of forty cents per year. From this time, a general improvement in short circuits, slams, blowouts, etc., is noted. The next great step to be made was by Mr. Bert, who discovered the famous touch method which brought out the fact that an electric potential pro- duces a strong current through the body the same as Volta had discovered in 1799. The discovery of the induction of electric currents unfortunately was unwitnessed since Mr. Smith closed the wrong switch and Mr. Alphonse forgot to close the equalizing switch at the right time. This certainly is a bad break in keeping my story in parallel with that of electrical science, but accidents will happen since this group did not rely upon any sudden outbreak of genius upon Mr. Bert’s part. Page One Hundred Seven ips A THE igm EMF .c The creation of electrical currents by the motion of a conductor in a magnetic field was demonstrated by Mr. Smith after having read of it in the illustrated copies of “Peculiarities of Armature Reactions” by Mr. Kcrsten. who is now in the habit of putting diagrams on the blackboard between periods. His papers have produced such a great influence that they are now being taught in the electro-technician department of the School of Engineer- ing, in order to keep in pace with the progress of the world at a reduced rate. The electric light is now being used in homes through the remarkable discoveries of breaking the field current of a generator by Mr. Smith. For- tunately, this was superseded by Mr. Hough’s wonderful lamp, the invention of the dynamo-electric machine having come into use, the output of which was based on a larger scale. Seeing that this side of engineering was being developed with success, Mr. Kersten found that in place of the electric locomotive, it was more con- venient to place a third stick below the wheels of the trucks carrying the motors in order to account for the slippage of the tachometer. To-day, you will find one of the group in term eight since he having progressed so fast that Father Time has nothing on him. You may believe it or not, but some wonderful ideas, which arc being reserved for future refer- ence, have been worked out by this group.

Page One IIundred Thirteen p k '' ski THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE Did it ever occur to you that a man’s life is full of temptation? He comes into the world without his consent, and goes out against his will, and the trip between is exceedingly rocky. When he is little the big girls kiss him; when he is big the little girls kiss him. If he is poor he is a bad manager; if he is rich he is dishonest. If he needs credit he cannot get it; if he is prosperous everyone wants to do him a favor. If he is in politics it is for graft, if he is out of politics he is no good to his country. If he doesn’t give to charity he is a stingy cuss; if he docs it’s for show. If he is actively religious he is a hypocrite; if he takes no interest in religion he is a hardened sinner. If he shows affection he is a soft specimen; if he cares for no one he is cold blooded. If he dies young there was a great future before him; if he lives to an old age he missed his calling. If you save money you’re a grouch; if you spend it you’re a loafer; if you get it you’re a grafter and if you don’t get it you’re a bum.

Answer to “Why should the spirit of mortal be proud.” When the spirit has gone to its master above And the life blood is chilled in the dear ones we love; When the rose and the violet grow on the bier Of the frame where the spirit once dwelt with us here; When the reaper has gathered his toll, on the way, Of bright golden tresses or hair silver gray, Sweet anthems we sing, and praise Him aloud, For the spirit of Mortal has cause to be proud. In the days long ago, it was little man knew Of the work our Creator had set him to do, Still less did he know of his talents and worth, How he came into life and development with earth. But he rose from his prison of lowly estate, Each hour growing bolder, each day growing great. Each day seeking knowledge, with purpose avowed; So the Spirit of Mortal has cause to be proud. When we think of his wonderful record on earth, Since the day our Creator unto him gave birth, His dreams and his plans, all seemed lighter than air. And none to give credit for doing his share. In the bright light of day, or the dark of the night. Over tasks that were weary, his shoulders were bowed, And the Spirit of Mortal has cause to be proud. Pie delved in the mountains, in search of bright ore. Each day found new treasures to add to his store; Made roadways on oceans, for comfort of all, Chained the lightning and caused it to answer his call, The force of the waters he framed to coerce. And delighted to conquer each object adverse. All nature he masters, no failures allowed; So the Spirit of Mortal has cause to be proud. He flies through the air like a bird in its flight. Sails under the ocean and guides his course right. By the tick of the wireless receives news from home, And, no matter where, he is never alone. Pie talks to his loved ones in far distant lands. All nature he moves to enforce his commands. Plis conquest is seen on the waves, in the cloud; So the Spirit of Mortal has cause to be proud.

And the Spirit Immortal seems to stand at man’s side, Though the Mortal has passed, it has never died, Though the Mortal has mouldered for years in the shroud, Man’s Spirit Immortal has cause to be proud. Yes; the multitude comes, even those we behold Leave treasures behind them far better than gold. Though the body may slowly comingle with clay, Man’s works still enrich and do not pass away. The spirit still lives; it is only a change From the sphere of his life to another as strange, They rejoice, as they hover above every cloud— 'flic Spirit of Mortal has cause to be proud.

This class as a whole has followed these lines pretty closely. We have had our ups and downs, but are glad to say that we are still in existence. Mr. Sunday, a well known evangelist, said in one of the southern technical schools: “Washington, Lee and Lincoln arc great men.” It is true, but to my notion the most they did was to make their names “stick” in history; but take an engineer, he does work equally as great in his line of life and is his name stuck in the U. S. History or the history of any other country?” This class is hardly known in this school but stop and consider. If the school wanted a genius, one that does something to lift the school to the standard that she ought to have they’ll come to this particular class. Why do we say so? The school wanted a band. But who should be the leader? Didn’t they find one in this engineering class; also there was needed an ar- tist. a man that could draw and place photos in this annual. Didn't they find one in this class and so a few other instances could be mentioned? The question now arises, “What is this class which is of such unheard of importance?” This class can be divided into three parts. On January of last year part of this class decided that this is the school that they were looking for and enrolled. During the hot summer months the swimming pool had a stronger magnetic attraction than the school and but: a few of this bunch re- turned the term following the summer months. The second part of this class feared the winter in school and started in April of last year. They found that the little swimming they wished to do and school could be managed together here in Milwaukee with its great Lake Michigan and inside swimming pool and they stayed through the summer months. The third part of this class is the part that according to our estimation is the best part. These arc the boys that saw France and proudly speak of their actions on the front. After returning from the war and being released from active .service they joined with this class. We also have our activities. Last summer we decided to have a three days’ outing at Muskego Lake and those who had time and did go can tell of a wild time. Previous to this we had a smoker and ice cream party and we arc to have such entertainments this year. Are we there with the athletic stuff? Why we have supported one hun- dred per cent and are always there with our toast: You may drink to the heroes of classical fame, To the victor in tourney and fight, To radiant maiden and virtuous dame, To the noble invincible knight; But pour your Rhenish, and hold it on high, I will give you a toast that is better, A toast that will drink with a vim till we die. 'Tis the man with an “E” on his sweater. 4 Page One Hundred Thirty k 'THE ll p2G E, .......... TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS OF A CONDUCTOR. Conductor 1518. The conductor is the one whom they all think leads the life of ease. The person who originated this idea could never have been farther from the true fact. Since July, the fourth, it has been somewhat easier as it is not neces- sary to kick so many rain barrels off the car. Sometimes this is quite an undertaking and is liable to end with dire results. There are many things a man must be in order to qualify as a conductor. He should know when to talk and when to keep his mouth shut. The power of mind reading and hypnotism will come in handy at times. Next, he must be an information bureau and be able to give accurate information to any party from any part of the United States. Strangers arc not the only ones who ask questions, as the amiable citizens of Milwaukee seem to be as ignor- ant about the city as anyone else. People arc just like animals. They must be told what to do. The only difference is. some have to be told more often than others. It is the common practice of the public in general, to enter the car and remain there. The men wish to remain on the rear platform to smoke; the women, especially the older ones, like to talk to the conductor and the chickens without feathers kid the poor fellow until he is weary. Any fellow who is lonesome and wishes to make a few acquaintances should apply immediately for a position with The Electric Co. 1 can say without hesitation that he will have all the friends (?) he wants in just a few days. North avenue is the best place to find them but of course they can be found any place. Sonic people have the impression that conductors arc portable banks. It is a common case for a lady to send her seven-year-old son on the car with a five dollar bill. The conductor dishes out the change and the youngster, after dropping his three cents in the box. gets off at the next corner. Men will get on and hand the conductor a dollar bill, saying. “Change please.” The conductor then asks. “Haven't you any smaller change than this?” “Yes, I believe T have.” He then reaches down in his pockets and takes out the exact change. Then they wonder why the poor conductor loses his temper now and then. It is a wonder that he is not out of sorts all the time. If it were not for the good times he has with the fairer ones, his life would not be worth living. There is one thing about the svstcm that I wish might be dispensed with. I wish all conductors would so operate as to keep themselves above suspicion, so that the “spotters.” or men hired to watch the worthy servant of the pub- lic to see that he docs his work well and does not receive more than his share of the reward would be unnecessary. When the division superintendent wishes to see you. you cannot help feeling fearful that some “spotter” has spotted you and taken your number. I never saw a time when a number meant more to a fellow than when it is placed on his uniform cap. I have a suggestion that ought to be brought before the city council. I suggest that there be placed at every corner in the city, a sign, indicating the directions of the compass. The passengers then would have no excuse for asking for a transfer west, when they meant a transfer south. I have asked passengers who made these mistakes how long they have been resi- 0 Page One Hundred Thirty-one M THE i920 EMF- 42 S ——jr dents of the city. The time has varied from six months to fourteen years. Rut if the conductor should make a mistake in punching the direction, why lie ought to he discharged. Another thing that must he spoken of. is the styles of the coming sum- mer. I understand that it will not he necessary to go to the Empress to see a burlesque. Just hoard a Farwell avenue car. The stylish costumes and “make up” of the ladies are of such a nature that it will not he necessary for the conductor to spend his spare change for a seat in front of the foot-lights. 1 might further state that the women are doing tine in saving cloth. They have shortened the length of everything, even the hose. That is all I have to say at present about our interesting occupation. Any- one wishing further information may see me privately and I will dispense my knowledge willingly. EXPERIMENT NO. 0000 B. L. S. 'fhe object of this experiment is to notice the effect of the commercial efficiency when it is connected in series with the interpolis hut with the polar- ity opposite as in the neutral wire of the squirrel cage high frequency phase splitter. Procedure :After the resistance of the fuses was measured new ones had to he inserted in the circuit and for protection a fairly heavy cable was con- nected across each of them. This also increased the power factor to such an extent that the current through cosine which was lagging the counter e. m. f. by 108 degrees in the shade went right up and consequently increased the fre- quency of 11 which immediately was compensated for by inserting a Jiffy cut- ter in the circuit. To limit the flow of current nothing higher than 25 Ampere Ammeters were used and as the circuit breakers were found to he very unstable they had to he tied to the seat. As the experiment progressed we noticed that the R. P. M.’s were moving in a counter clockwise direction which caused some of the Eddy currents to leak out and that of course hindered the brushes from making good contact and also explained a severe carbon knock. As the alternator in the laboratorv due to a frozen radiator was out of commission and alternating current of a suitable frequency was obtained by connecting to the D. C. supply lines, but reversing the leads every 1 120 second. In order to get the proper phase difference the current was sent through a vacuum cleaner wound with heavy insulated condenser laminations in which every third slot contained one or more single layered lap wound dummy coils which naturally protected the vibrator points of the slip rings from becoming pitted and consequently reduced the stray power loss to a negative value. After sending the current through a disinfector shower bath Page One Hundred Thirty-two :x- tEe 1920 i,.,,,,,� ’ ' y of very high internal resistance and in which the specific gravity was the greatest part of the solution it was multiplied by L. C. F. and was now very suitable for use so the experiment was continued. As soon as the theoretical speed of series motor at no load was reached a load in the form of a series multiple connection 60 calories in series and 30 such groups in multiple was connected to the machine. It didn’t seem to affect the speed in the least but the machine stopped because the impendance of the scale was getting very hot which after proper investigation proved to be caused by the armature reaction of the remote control field regulator. It was soon remedied and everything went along smoothly. Several of the seconds were now counted and as soon as a considerable number were gathered they were exchanged for minutes as these always are easier to cancel away when developing the formulas. A very peculiar incident happened while we were taking our hystercses readings which seemed very low. The reason was that we were using a 120 volt hysteresemeter while running the machine on 240 volts therefore the nee- dle point had made 011c revolution on the dial and started on the second but as book VI gives a very accurate formula for just this case all we had to do was lo draw out the correction curve and attach it to the lightning arrestors. By this time the health condition of two of the bunch was badly affected by the smoke from the ammeters and one had already fainted, so we de- cided to leave the laboratory until the test was finished. Two hours later when we came back it could easily be seen through the smoke that the machine had stopped which proved the experiment was finished. When the next bunch get to that experiment they will have brand new in- struments to work with. The fuses were alright. AN EVENING AT MY WIRELESS STATION. Few who have never listened to the musical sounds of a wireless trans- mitter or who have never been interested in the subject can possibly appre- ciate the fascination there is in it. I have been an active and intensely inter- ested amateur for about eight years. Several years of my life up until I came to school here were spent in Phoenix. Arizona. Phoenix has many amateurs and their influence only served to make me the more interested in the subject. The air and sky in Arizona is remarkably clear and naturally great ranges in wireless are the result. In fact to transmit fifty miles with an ordinary “Ford” ignition coil was most ordinary. Those who have had experience with wireless in this country will appreciate the significance in this statement. So while crossing the two thousand miles that separate Milwaukee from Phoenix by train 1 naturally conjectured on the future possibilities of radio in Milwaukee. My receiving instruments were coming by express and would arrive soon after I would so all that remained was to wait for that happy day when war-time restrictions would be removed and we would be free to listen once more. P i jc One Hundred Thirty-ihree Ia U' April fifteenth brought the glad tidings and quitting school early I dashed down to Dewey’s store, the amateur’s “hang-out” in Milwaukee and got an abundance of flash-light batteries to supply the plate voltage of the audion. an important part of the receiving set. Then “home” where the apparatus lay waiting ready for use except for the batteries. These were soon soldered in and with the nervous excitement of a little boy on Christmas eve I slipped the “phones” (so typical of the radio set) on and turned on the bulb prepared to hear everything in the air. What an exciting moment that was can best be described by the results. My aerial comprised only a wire in the attic yet the stations heard ranged from (NAT) New Orleans to Boston while the boats on the Great Lakes roared into the room. Much of the news of the NC-4’s famous flight across the Atlantic was heard on various evenings while the R-34, British dirigible was “followed across” by listening to her messages being relayed by coast stations to Washington. Of course my chief interest in listening is among the amateurs, boys of my own age who are scattered by the thousands all over the United States. Hundreds of them have transmitting sets of remarkable efficiency. A range of 500 miles transmitting is the rule rather than the exception with only one- half k. v. a. input. As I sit at my table in my room with both detector and amplifier glowing warmly and an electro chemistry manual in my hand, I dream as I copy the signals of the far-distant station whose faint signals arc registering on my “phones.” Possibly a station is sending from Kentucky to an amateur in Kansas. Perhaps he is sending a message for a boy in school in New York to his mother in California. It can and is done every night. The stations “drone” and “sing” continuously. The majority of the people who have never heard wireless have the impression that it consists of short and long ticks just as in a line telegraph station. This is, of course, entirely wrong. Each station has its own peculiar tone, sounding very much like the notes of a flute. They arc very musical and when numbers of stations are transmitting at once the effect is indescribable. While we sit listening now to Guantanamo Bay. Cuba, then to Seattle, Washington and next to Key West, Florida or Mexico City. Mexico simply by turning two or three knobs, we suddenly hear a human voice speak clearly, “Hello, Paul?” Then the reply, “Hello, do we get some music tonight?” “Sure, the first will be, ‘Oh, What a Pal Was Mary ” Then just as clear as though the music were downstairs or in the next room, we hear it being transmitted by wireless telephone over the air from many miles away. For the next hour it is continued with various selections and one’s feet invariably tap the floor in time to the music which varies from grand opera to “jazz,” while in the left hand lies the electro chemistry manual “forgotten but not gone.” Thus one can see wherein the charm lies in owning a radio station.

C.....':::■ -- TELE 1192(0 EMF OX BEHALF OF THE CLASS There is no doubt that the class includes many an unknown geninus but— we can’t tell off hand who they are. and some are a bit backward in admitting it, so if the reader happens to be one of us and finds himself omitted from tile roll of honor, let him unburden his wrath upon the nearest inanimate object as the editor intends to retire to Alaska for the three months following the publication of the E. M. F. The entire population of term three (every member counted once) num- bers 26, from the census taken January 14, 1920. The jolly company owes its formation entirely to the workings of fate and consequently is composed of individuals with a most confusing variety of appetites, appellations, and as- pirations ; however, we shall try to group them according to some general standard for the purpose of more intelligent discussion or rather, description. Beginning alphabetically we might first consider brother Ezra Adelsbcrger —very modest chap; is 23 years of age; has been across with the A. E. F. in France for three months and never mentions it. Yes, girls—a very nice look- ing fellow when his hair is cut. Next it would be well to consider the jolly tars Mcrriam, Davis, Hcntershec and Smith. 'I'lic first two have already been mentioned so we shall revert to H. L. I-Ientershce and Bernard or as he is familiarly known: Barney Smith. Of course it's unnecessary to say they are both dangerous male-vamps (gobs, donchuno!) The former is 22: hails from Fall River, Mass., and says his downfall is due to the fact that he first became sentimentally, or rather, inti- mately acquainted with the gentler sex at a private school in Vermont at the innocent age of 14—hm. terrible. Barney on the other hand received his early acquaintance while in the Navy, at the sweet age of 19, and the girls say those ‘thailors are justlit thimply awful.’ The S.A.T.C. now deserves our attention ; the following have been it’s vic- tims: R. J. Bauer, B. E. Hogue, E. M. Poage and B. W. Tolbert. Bauer, generally known as Fcrdie, blew in from Bloomer. Wis. He is just 21. and maintains that his hobby is “wimin-n dancing.” It might also be added that lie is one of the countless numbers that help pay the expenses of the Wis- consin Telephone Co. You know what we mean—ding (signifying one jitney has found a happy home') then: “Hello, is that you dear?” etc., etc. Now E. M. Poage, or Entry as he is called, is different. Why he never looks at a girl—unless lie happens to be on a windy corner on a windy day. He is just a youngster of twenty; is 6 ft. 2 in. or better and wears number 8j4 shovels. His favorite pastime is murdering poor, defenceless rattlesnakes in Wyoming. Just imagine the poor snake battling with one of those 8j4’s; it’s simply in- humane. B. E. Hogue, a serious young man of 20. hailing from Greenwood, Wis., seems to have little to say. He is somewhat out of the ordinary as lie has never attempted to obtrude upon the patient tolerance of the class with any literary or verbal compositions to which temptation nearly all, at some- time or other, fall prey. It has been decided to award him a medal, accord- ingly. B. W. Tolbert, just turning 20, dropped in from Greenwood. S. C, where he attended the Baily Military Institute. He’s just becoming a social mixer at present, in Milwaukee, and will no doubt be quite a game getter when the chicken season opens in the spring. Page One Hundred Thirty-nine .. THE H920 EMF — --r The balance, or general-public of the class contains the following artists and lusteiTess statesmen: Allen G. Ballard, a worthy toiler of the soil nick- named “Grik” from the Latin “Agricola,” meaning one who stirs up the dust. He is just 20 and should be shielded from the wild women scattered at random about the city streets. As yet he seems unpolluted. Ilis favorite pastime is trying to capture the Hon. A. C. Ball’s goat; probably trying to increase the livestock on his farm. Leroy E. Brackett, our famous catcher in the S. O. E. base ball team is just emerging from his twenty-second year. He moved from Madison, Maine, where he taught school for one year. (It al- ways was a mystery to us where he got that stern look.) He is part owner of the Milwaukee Street Car Co., even wearing a uniform and a number plate belonging to said concern. Harold I. Higbee, a shy young felow of 20 springs and about 5 feet 6 inches short, breezed in from Meadow Grove. Nebraska, reputed to have be- longed to the notorious Skull Gang composed of three desperate characters; a tenor to all the bally cats and dogs in the neighborhood. L. G. Kuhn, 20 years old. of serious countenance and disastrous address, flitted hither from Michigan with the intention of studying, (.so he says.) He hopes for a bright and non-industrious future and in other ways shows some signs of intelligence. E. G. Little, the one wearing that smile all day. and mavhap at night, wan- dered down here from Janesvile. Ohio. He is 21 and his cognomen applies not one whit to his person and not in the least to his feet as may be seen on the photo a few pages further in this book. However, as before stated, he is of pleasant countenance and will probably be the next victim of some design- ing young vamp. Arthur C. Norcott. famous for his “nose skid” in football and in company with Ferdie Bauer, a “knock-em-cold” at the Coliseum im- parts to use that his favorite sport is “wimin-n dancing.” He is just about 20; comes from Valley City, N. D.. and is the proud possessor of a pug nose. He is universally known as “Prunes.” Ellsworth Seaman, quiet and demure, joined our care-free company from Wilmore, Pa., a youth of 20 more-or-less, he appears to be some-whatly self-conscious. He occasionally makes a stab at work of a literary nature which may some day be the cause of his demise if the reader of his inspiration can find something handy to throw. Jav B. Shinkle and L. N. Woellert have formed a corporation by the name of Shinkle Woellert Insulating Engineers. Office’s at Frat. House No. 2. Both mem- bers come to us with the highest reference from Frankfort. Kansas and She- boygan, Wisconsin, respectively. The firm is accorded the best wishes of the class for its success, provided, the activities of said organization are not in any way connected with the class or its personnel, or “by heck” there will be war in camp. G. H. Kamper. generally known as “Useless,” deserves a little space. He is a product of our fair citv of Milwaukee. He is exceedingly fast with the fair sex. and in keeping with his humorous disposition, drives a hearse for a pastime. His favorite hobby is collecting souvenirs in the chemical laboratory. Another of our set is Fulton, a direct descendant of Robert, the inventor of the steamboat. There being no steamboats to navi- gate for sport, he spends his spare time in company with brother Norcott. the tango specialist. J. A. Martin, the wealthy member of the class, runs a close second to J. D. Rockefeller, he being the highest salaried man spending his i Page One Hundred Forty 4flerqi� ‘j£ Page One Hundred Forty-one sSp£': k M M � «= w spare time in the profitable pastime of labor. His habits, generally arc un- known, but it is supposed that his tendencies are not effeminate. We would also bring into the limelight our happy-go-lucky youngster Nogucira, who hails from Cuba whence the hemp which we purchase for smoking purposes is reputed to come. What puzzles us though, is how the young fellow absorbs all his knowledge in classes between the snores. Carl Knowles, the latest addition to the class, a bright fellow, like mercury, comes to 11s from Welling- ton, Kansas. He is generally known as the “gentleman from Kansas,” and admits that lie’s a steel gaitar artist. While in. the S. A. T. C. his melodious voice was heard serenading some damsel near the barracks. Heckcr, the skipper on the Vlict street line goes to classes when opportunity offers a chance and with his usual smile and Poagc for company fills in the remain- ing space of our class room. We think lie dances, we arc quite sure lie tries. In bringing our history to a close, it seems fitting to mention the name of Mr. Adams, who was with us the past two terms. He has received an appointment at West Point Military and has left here to take up new studies at that institution. • a Page Otic Hundred Forty-two Page One-Hundred Forty-three ...MM m M i%v 1 wmi. ' ’'« «y «Lj’TlE i92d EMF' THE CLASS PRESIDENT In order that one may be a good president, irrespective of the nature of the body of men he presides over, lie must be blessed with an innumerable ag- gregation of virtues among which are the following: Eloquence under all con- ditions: good tempered (on account of the abuse usually heaped oh an ex- ecutive) ; ability to smoke all brands of hemp; and he must be well versed in the gentle art of “shooting crap” as well as have a fair knowledge of “penny ante.” The aforementioned are only a few suggestions but will enable the readers to understand readily, the importance of the situation. Never-the-less it has been our good fortune to find one, who answers well to these characteristics and possesses one of the heaviest lines in the entire college. He has been succssful. while casting the said line, in dragging in an executive position in the American Legion, which he still holds. We, the class, are not unappreciative of the efforts of the honorable A. Y. Merriam and his efforts shall not be in vain. It has been resolved that as soon as we can locate a good, cheap, second-hand medal in good condition, it will be purchased to decorate his manly chest. Y. F. H. TI-IE VICE-PRESIDENT The vice president, be it said with all the respect due his office, has a bloomin’ snap. His duties are to keep still and wait patiently until some- thing happens to the president; meanwhile his enormous salary rolls on and on and the president never misses a session. Our vice president’s chief source of amusement is derived from kidding the waitresses at a certain well known restaurant. The pastime is indulged in by quite a number of the student body but A. W. Davis takes first prize. Many an evening when all was quiet and serene, did the antics of our hero cause some curly haired waitress to disfigure the shoulders of some unsuspecting patron with a favorite brand of goulash, the misfortune bring- ing a round of laughter and snickers of fiendish glee from the entire house. His unusual ability at charming the gentler sex may, however, be account- ed for by the fact that he was in the service of our Uncle Samuel as a gob. Those of the readers who have heard of the reputation of this branch of the service will no doubt understand the situation. As a V. P. he’s O. K.—always silent. W. F. H. THE CLASS SECRETARY Many bright days have been the result of a friendship formed between the .secretary and myself and these enable me to eulogize him with entire disregard of my labors after he has read this. Born in Greece and coming to the U. S. during his early youth, he brought with him a sunny disposition and an unquenchable thirst, the latter quality being the cause for his ultimate permanent residence in Milwaukee. How- ever, in order that the reader may not draw an erroneous conclusion it might be well to explain that it was a thirst for knowledge, and if I am any judge he certainly has an uncanny way of soaking it up. He has been especially prominent in school athletics; especially in wres- tling, (for which he was decorated on the chest) with two medals in boxing, (for which he was decorated on the eye.) -----OKZZZMl ’t ppzzfrrri Page One Hundred Forty-four THE 1192© EMF - While attending the School of-Practical Electricity he was awarded a scholarship medal. Touching on the social side of our friend's life. I might say his tendencies with respect to the gentler sex are not spontaneous as those of our vice- president. but require a little encouragement albeit, he has been reputed as being “not so slow. THE CLASS EDITOR Although the class editor writes and compiles most of the material for the class section of the annual, he docs not take advantage of the power vested upon him for his own benefit. By that is meant that he does not take the opportunity to give himself wide publicity in the annual. The editor's main object is to give publicity to his classmates; so he writes a line of “gags” about them and gets away with it until the men in question read the con- tents after the annual is published. While we admire his office we would not want to be in his shoes after the publication has reached some members of the class. As 1 have cultivated a close friendship with the editor, Mr. W. F. Hclwig, I hope that he has spared me from performing any unnecessary cere- monies in the near future. Our acquaintance dates back to the days in the School of Practical Electricity. There I had the pleasure of looking him over in his cow- boy outfit when he first came to the school. Yes. he hails from the West; his home is in Great Falls, Mont. Of course, now he makes Milwaukee his temporary home, and while Milwaukee’s famous was still on the market, lie liked to live here. But since the decimal point drinks took the place of the beer, lie likes Milwaukee so much that he spends his vacations in Montana. Besides being a humorist of the Mark Twain type, Mr. Helwig is an ac- complished violinist. During the early stages of his musical career, the neighbors, many times, would ask to borrow Frank’s violin; not because they wanted to play on it, but just to keep our virtuoso from disturbing the quiet atmosphere of the neighborhood. His first tunes were so melodious that they proved fatal for the cats and dogs of the neighborhood. But you ought to hear Frank now—practice makes perfect. Among his numerous ambitions there is. or rather was, one of which we shall make special mention. He once entertained the idea of growing a mus- tache, but after a month’s earnest trial he abandoned the idea. Probably the soil was not fertile enough for such a purpose. In concluding, while we prognosticate a great future for our worthy edi- tor. we find that lie has at least one fault, that is he likes pancakes; in fact he eats too many of them. This may serve as a hint for someone who. in the future, may be interested in his diet. P. P. S. 1 Page One Hundred Forty-five A LABORATORY EXPERIMENT BY TERM III S On a nice Wednesday morning Class III S came together at nine o’clock in the generator laboratory. The experiment was the first one on generators in which one of the new motors was used. After much talking, waiting and running around we finally cornered Mr. Kasperak and got our instruments and fuses. Then after much arguing and rough talk the motor and generator were finally connected up but lo and behold the motor did not move when the starting handle was pulled over after throwing the line switch. Then issued a mighty argument between the members of the class as to what was wrong. Finally Kytlc got angry and said he would show them how to connect it up right. So the rest of us solemnly watched him mix up the connections and connect it over again but when he got through it did not work. Again there was a mighty argument with a lot of sarcasm until Holton got sore and tackled the job himself. But when he got through it did not work any better then before. Then Barenschcr said, “Let me show you how to connect up that motor!” So the boys hung back and let him go to it. He fooled around awhile and finally he told us to watch it go. He forgot to tell us what to watch go but we soon found out as two fuses went up in smoke. As to whether these were what he meant we do not know to this day. Luckily we had some extra fuses so we replaced the blown- out ones. MacIntyre had not taken a trial at the motor but he gave free ad- vice to those who did try and after they had all failed he did not have any more ideas left for himself. Mr. Kasperak was called over and after making a few changes he put on the juice, but this resulted in the destruction of two more fuses. Then he looked over the motor and found the motor connections were marked wrong. Then we connected the motor up again according to our joint ideas and went merrily on through the rest of the experiment. The moral of this simple story is that you should let others do the work and you will not blow any fuses. HEAP BIG MANS You may be interested in becoming acquainted with the large and old man the combined Engineering III. class makes up. Although well proportioned he measures only 126 feet. 6.5 inches from head to toe. His hair is of a medium brown and his eyes are a greenish blue or a bluish green as you like it. He has some feet take it from me; he wears a size 186-50 EE shoe and pays $5,600 a year for footwear. The little hat he wears measures 163 inclis across and it barely covers the gray matter obtained at the School of Engineering. His gloves are called size 190i4 and have clasps the size of silver dollars. Guess what he weighs—well he just tips the analytical balance at 3,495 pounds, or 1 ton. 1.495 pounds. Fellows this man is known as “Engineering III” or better as “The Man Who Will Succeed.” He is yet in his infancy and we expect him to grow to a fair sized man. Today he is but 479 years old and we all wish him a ripe old age. LESTER WOELLERT. Eng.-III. SA '. One Hundred Forty-six Wanted: A pretty girl to write to.

The Freshmen is bound- ed on one side by Care-free river, known as the lower side. Along the upper side it is bounded by Hardship mountains. Semester Three is a city in the Freshmen class and is inhabited by a fero- cious and barbarous tribe. Some of the heads of the tribe being called : Analy- tics, Electricity, Chemistry and many others. Analytics is fabled to have eaten ten ordinary men at a single mouthful. When this pernicious and infamous foe defeats its enemy it gives no cjitar- ter, those not escaping being massacred. Their chief ball ground is situated on the upper portion of the country in the narrow pass of Exams. Semester Three is being invaded by a band of trained and sagacious men among which arc statesmen, common foot soldiers with much impedament, the spoils of other wars. This expedition being commanded by General Brains, who is a great and sagacious general, having fought and conquered in many battles. His foot soldiers comprise a band of specially trained R. O. T. C. Chief among the warriors is Merriam, a noted orator and statesmen. When this great and glorious statesman is inspired the words that flow from his lips are as the flow of many waters. Brother Helwig, far-famed for valor, while on a scouting expedition was wounded by one of the nefarious weapons of general Chemistry’s band. His eyebrows were not bleached and his re- covery was rapid. The exploits of the remaining men are too numerous to enumerate here. Daily conflab is held with the gods in our advance against the enemy. Chief among the gods are Messrs. Brown. Stewart, Atherton, Ball and Cap- tain Ristine, who is the god of warfare. If we heed not the advice of the gods they turn to our enemies and visit upon us dire calamities. E. F. S.

Wc captured offices in every branch of student organiza- tion with the exception of the fraternity, and that organization was sleeping so soundly that we hardly knew it existed. The Phi Del is waking up though, and one hundred per cent of term two are going to become members. You must remember, however, that we are only freshmen. You will hear from us when we are a little better acquainted with each other and with the school. You can’t keep a good man down. The same applies to a good class; so “watch our smoke.” Page One Hundred Fifty-one RUDOLPH PLOTS WITH GINK 5 CHINK Belinda is Kidnapped and— oh Cauci LEAVING RUDOLPH 5.O.U.

'■ Qfcrrn 11-A iEnginem M After looking at the portraits of the young men as shown on the fore- going pages you must admit that you never saw such a good-looking bunch of fellows before in all your life. You needn’t take my word for it, but Stephen C. Andreae, the president of our class, said so himself. That is, he said his girl said so after he had given her that five pound box of candy. He was “broke’’ for two weeks following, but he says it was worth while to hear such a remark about his class, even if it did set him back five bones worth of good healthy meals. When asked how he enjoyed going without meals, he said he wasn’t a bit hungry, as the statement made by his girl seemed to him equal to ten meals at the “Frat Gif.” So you see there is really some truth and value in the verdict about his class—unless he cats in the mess hall. Our president Andreae comes from Esthervillc, Iowa, got 99% in Math. Exam .and has white hair. About our vice-president—there is a story which also touches upon the sacred and lost art of eating. The name of our vice-president is Leo F. Berg, and he goes to Lime Center. Wisconsin every Friday night where, he says, his folks live. I think somebody else lives there too, but he wouldn’t say what her name was. But coming back to the aforementioned story: First of all. picture a quiet and dccj) swamp with a pool of muddy water. We’ll say about 75% of the pool was dirt and the rest water. Now close your ears and imagine a large heavy boulder falling into this pool, causing a sucking, slushy, slushy, hollow sound, which can be heard within a radius of several miles. Now with this sound in mind, imagine a quiet period in the drawing room, with class 2A busily at work, when sud- denly this sound is emitted by Leo Berg. How he produced this it seemed an insoluble mystery to everyone, until I noticed him one day as he placed one end of his pencil in his mouth and suddenly jerked it (the pencil) out again, causing the familiar noise. I pondered over the matter for some time, and finally came to the conclusion that he had found a new method of sharpen- ing his pencil, and although he never ejected the shavings from his mouth, I can readily understand that, and agree with Caesar, who cried, after he had been shot through both ribs and lay dying at the foot of the statue of Bar- num. with his pants all full of blood, think of it (I guess I’ve got this all bawled up), but anyway, he said: “Tastes differ!” Next we meet our secretary and treasurer. Raymond W. Seibold, a young man full of ideals and ambitions, who is also an artist on the violin and a great poet. Besides trying to invent perpetual motion and write a number of books on several unknown theories, he is interested in the art of dancing and goes to church every Thursday night (out on Grand Avenue) to cultivate and become more efficient in said art. Page One Hundred Fifty-six % TEDS 1920 HW; Having done away with the officers of the class, our next victim is Floyd C. Dodds, who came to the cold north from Arizona, to get a glimpse of some real snow. What a grand sensation it must have been to wake up on a cold Milwaukee morning and see the trees and ground covered with just the dear- est and cutest snow he ever saw. Well Dodds may have been rather green before he came here, but he’s learning fast, and from the way he talks about those Indian squaws and squawkees, he must have been “the man about town” out in Arizona. You can’t tell. Rebecca! Walter Goetschius and Carl Ebeling both come from the east; Goetschius from New York and Fbeling from Pennsylvania. • You would naturally ex- pect them to hang together a great deal, and they do. I wish to state right here that Goetschius' is due to bring in some more laurels for term 2-A in the wrestling field, he having been on the Princeton wrestling team last year. Just give him a chance. These be not vain thoughts, but geometrical facts based on the law of sines and cosines. Oh. yea. 0I1 yea. To continue with those fellows who are making history for the class in athletics, T should first mention Claude B. Wright. Ah, what a gentleman. If silence is golden, he must be a millionaire—’tis he who brought home the bacon for term 2-A last fall as the best bootfall or football player in the school, also being the captain of the team. And girls, he was a lieutenant in the army for over two years, was in France that long and shot craps in Germany for several months while waiting to get home. I have never seen him in his uniform yet so I can’t describe him to you. but he still wears his army shirt, so come around if you want to see part of a lieutenant. Then there is James McCarthy. What a lovelv Swedish name—who is one of the fastest runners in the state of Wisconsin, winning first place in a three mile race over the state champion, who came in third. From this you may sec that he is a rather fast boy. although our algebra instructor does ‘ not quite agree with us. Algebra is our first subject in the morning and I must confess that James is very seldom on time, but who could wake up a man with such a name as McCarthy, if he wanted to sleep till ten o’clock. ’Tis now that I have the pleasure of giving you a knockdown to Clarence G. Gasser, of Nebraska, who has only one pleasure in life, namely to talk about his experiences in France. From his line of talk I take it that he enjoyed France alright, but not the army. Like all human beings, he also complained about the “cooties” and one day while in France he exclaimed: “These cooties are an infernal nuisance. I cawn’t think of anything worse, dontcha know.” to which an old Irishman standing nearby drolled, “I can. What if the durn things chirped like crickets?” Ralph T. Hatchett hails from California and says that the T. stands for 'Pommy. He says that that’s all he knows about himself. I therefore had to resort to my sense of observation to find something to accuse him of. The serious charge placed against him is that of falling asleep, during every Eng- lish period. That’s all. Yea. Rebecca, but enough! What would the NAVY have done without Cl-vde C. Randolph from 'Pexas? 'Tis hard to tell. Rebecca, yea, hard to tell. I shall not endeavor to fill this space with appropriate tribute, as Mr. Randolph, so to speak, has been kind enough to contribute some pictures to this department describing some of his experiences while scrubbing decks, etc. Page One Hundred Fifty-seven man ■r- ..

Jahn responds, because he thought when the professor said John he meant Jahn. Then John wakes up and tells Jahn that he (the instructor) meant John, and to prove it, John asks the professor if he meant John or Jahn.

Randolph, Term IIA The scene of this little incident, was the famous Goat Island Training Station at San Francisco, California, which I believe, was the only training station in the United States to keep the old naval regulations throughout the war. Therefore I consider it the last place in the world a rookie would want to land; for I can truly say that it is a worse place than any one of the regulation flag ships I had occasion to visit, while in the navy. The rookie, the principal in this incident, had been in the navy just one month, and this month had been spent in detention camp where a fellow only drills eight hours a day, stands guard four, stands in chow line four, and has nothing to do the other four except answer bugle calls, such as fire drill, collision drill, general quarters, etc. But on one wonderful day about ten rookies received orders to report to the Radio School at Main Barracks where they were supposed to enter the real navy, sleep in hammocks and live like real sea-going gobs. The transfer was made without any trouble and everything moved along nicely until they got to the Boatswain’ locker where they were to draw the hammocks. The old Boatswain in charge looked the rookies over slowlv, and as no one seemed to know what to say to a gorilla, he bawled out, “Well what in H---- do you sap heads want?” One of the bunch that had a little more nerve than the rest sputtered out “hammocks.” The Boatswain pointed to a pile of ropes, lashing and canvas and said. “If you fat heads have enough brains you can get your hammocks out of that pile, if not. sleep on the deck for all I care.” The rookies worked all afternoon and finally managed to get out of the pile, something in the form of a hammock. However, T doubt if there was a hammock in the lot that would float as a regulation one is supposed to do. At “hammocks” that night when the officer of the deck read out the order for the following day, he included the order that all hammocks should be in the netting properly lashed by ten minutes after reveille. This sounded nice to the rookie that spent all afternoon getting a regulation lash on his hammock. But his troubles had only begun. When he tried to sling the hammock, he found the clews too short; but with the help of a sailor he finally got this fixed, got his clothes off and stowed away under the mattress, so no one would steal them during the night, this treatment, incidentally pressing the clothes for use next day. But here came another problem—how was he going to get in his ham- mock and stay in after he got in. The thing was six feet from the deck and it seemed to swing terrible; in fact it looked worse to him then, than all the tales he had heard about it in the last month could possibly make it look. He watched the other sailors swing into their hammocks with much ease and grace and after they were in them they would swing back and forth and move around as if it was impossible to fall out. but after trying about ten minutes to duplicate their way of getting into the things and each time having the job of putting his bed and mattress back in the hammock, he finally gave it up as a bad job and leaned up against the bulk-head until a coxswain came along and told him to shake a leg and get turned in or else he would find himself on a port watch. Page One Hundred Sixty-two -THE 1920 EMF mSi ' 4wwp If® By this time the rookie had decided on a plan of action, so he took his hammock lashing, threw it up over the beams, took both ends and managed to climb up into a hammock, with some trouble and a narrow escape from hitting the deck and finally fell upon a way that he thought was fairly safe. After deciding to be sure to get up before reveille in the morning and get an early start on the hammock, he finally went to sleep, only to wake up about an hour later hanging by his arm pits in the net work of rope he tied himself in with, while incidentally most of his bed happened to be on the deck. To the accompaniment of a word from the Boatswain’s mate on watch who happened to hear the noise, and a few remarks from the sailors sleeping next to him he finally got tied in again and everything was peaceful for a while. But this peaceful slumber did not last very long. The liberty party began to come aboard about one a. m. and in getting their hammocks up and getting undressed they happened to wake this rookie again and seeing half dressed sailors around, he thought reveille had already gone so out he came, hitting the deck with all his bed and clothes with him. In about fifteen or twenty minutes, after showing all the speed he had in getting the ham- mock lashed and the thirteen buttoned trousers on, he had time to look around and see that everyone was still turned in. Me began to realize that some- thing was wrong, walked over to the guard and asked what time it was. The guard told him it was about three bells. The poor rookie thought three bells meant three o’clock instead of one-thirty, so rather than go through what he had already gone through with that night he decided to stay up. Tfie guard saw a chance to get an early relief, so asked the rookie to take his belt while he went out and had a smoke, and of course the guard never came back. The relief came at four bells though and informed the rookie that four bells was only two o’clock. Rookie began to get a little sore about this time, so back in his hammock he went and in a few minutes was sleeping as only a sailor knows how to sleep. For three hours the rookie’s worries were “zero.” then suddenly they ran up again for he had just heard the last notes of “I can’t get ’em up. I can’t get ’em up,” and a hard-boiled Boatswain’s mate was coming down the deck bawling like a circus boss. ‘‘Rise and shine.” “Hit the deck with a wallop.” “Make a move there sailor,” “Show a little pep,” “You arc in the Navy now.” “If you don’t know it, it is time you was finding it out,” “Shake a leg,” “All right, sailor, let’s see you hit the deck.” With his heart in his mouth for fear someone would nab him. the rookie finallv managed to get his hammock over the netting only about five minutes late; he had barely got the hammock in the netting, when the hammock stower bawled out. “Hey! Jack, take that mess to the lucky bag; you only have six lashings on it and there should be seven. As the rookie knew nothing else to do but obey orders, he took it to the lucky bag, all the while wondering where he would sleep the next night. THE ROOKIES PRAYER THE FOLLOWING NIGHT. Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Grant no other sailors take My shoes and socks before I wake.

Karly in the first term we were ushered into the mysteries of the elusive little formula by the guiding hand of Prof. Brown. At that time we numbered a little over forty men, and. as a whole, our unity remained intact through- out the term. The beginning of our present term found a number of vacant scats, however, this being occasioned by such things as change of courses, “stiff” examinations and other causes and reasons best known to the ab- sentees. Dexter left “our happy home” to take up a course with the electricians; also a drafting course. We could not keep him busy enough with only an engineering course so he decided that rather than spend so much valuable time “loafing.” he would take up two courses. Success Deck!! Davis—“Oh, where is our wandering boy tonight?” He left us at holiday time and we fear he is snowed under up in the back woods somewhere. The only way we can explain not having received an “S. O. S.” from him is that his wave length is as short as he is. which fact would throw him out of tune with our receiving apparatus. Perhaps he will come back to us when it thaws out up there. Bigelow learned so much about engineering the first term that he applied for a job with T. M. E. R. L. Co. and got it—in a garage. Leslie O. Andrews decided that automobile ignition is the coming enter- prise with which he wished to link his future and changed his course accord- ingly. Good luck, L. O.. but beware of the “wiles” of high tension “mags.” Goochcr and Bclson are the “Wandering Jews” of our class. They were called upon to uphold S. O. E.’s. fame in the realms of basketball and as a result it was necessary to change their schedules. They are now seen, most any day. rushing wildly through the halls from “F” to “A” and thence to “B” etc. “Oh, when shall their weary souls find peace and rest?” Forbes was not satisfied with the rough and rocky path which we trod and he made a wide detour into other regions, saying that he would join us in Term III. Occasionally we hear his bits of humor wafting by and perhaps have a flitting vision of him tearing madly down the halls, but we have little chance to speak to him for as he says, “I’m too busy, boys, too busy just; now.” Hang to it. Harley, we’ll welcome you home in Term III. Hillston concluded, after a few months of electrical engineering life, that his future lay in the lumber industry and accordingly he “debarked” for Ore- gon where he will doubtless be found juggling the big pines when perchance one of our number strolls up there, a few years hence, for his health. Smalley was summoned home unexpectedly and we miss his broad smile in our midst. Wc also venture that Coach McCormack will miss him on the end when football training begins. We hope to see Smalley in school again at some not far distant date. Page One Hundred Sixty-seven TEE 1920 EMF- 1 y -' £0 M T WONDERFUL NEW DISCOVERY OF THE AGE IS ACCREDITED TO MEN OF THE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING OF MILWAUKEE BATTLESHIPS CAN NOW OPERATE WITH NO PRIME MOVER (except gunpowder.) Means by which electric ship propulsion can be developed without the aid of .steam “turbans.” “The heights by great man reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night.”—LONGFELLOW. This quotation applies to the geniuses who have, by the burning of much midnight “juice,” finally devised this wonderful scheme of developing power for a battleship by means of its own inherent fighting qualities, namely— guns. The scheme as proposed is this—but first let us understand the principle upon which this marvelous invention is based. Engineers II-B, you will remember with more or less pleasure Exp. 115 in Mr. O. W.’s Book IV of Practical Electricity. Well that is the keyboard upon which we shall play this whole tune. You probably do not remember what it was about so we will refresh your memory by a review of the main points. We were told in the instructions to “thrust a permanent magnet North pole first, into a solenoid connected in cross-compound series—multiple with a ballistic galvanometer, record deflections and tabulate all results.” They neglected to say whether the galvanometer was to be of the foot-ballistic type or the basket-ballistic so we compromised by taking the steel-ballistic type which we understand has a better power factor. Well in short we found that when we introduced the north pole of the magnet to the solenoid (a very formal introduction) the deflection on the galvanometer was a certain number in one dirccion. but upon presenting the south pole it was a certain number in the opposite direction, the amount of deflection depending upon the speed of the introduction. From the title of the experiment “Current Induced in a Coil by Means of a Permanent Magnet” we gather (as we would otherwise have been unable to do) that current was actually created in the coil by the simple idea or method just explained. Now the application of this principle to our wonderful invention is as follows: In Fig. 1 a battleship gun “A” is shown. This gun will be constructed of some material which is not a magnetic shield and which has great tensile strength and elasticity such as LEAD (chcm. symbol PbO.j) and which is capable of withstanding the great concussion of a discharge of smokeless powder, preferably “Swans Down” or “Mary Garden” brand, “Mennens” or “Djer Kiss” are not recommended because they contain an excess of French chalk which gums up the rifling. Around the barrel of the gun and 120 cm. apart arc wound three coils each consisting of several hundred layers of No. O-f-% (S. O. E. gage oil insulated cast iron wire. These coils B. B2. and B-{ are connected in star- delta to three No. 000000000% phosphor-platinum mains, “C,” leading to the frequency transformer and stabilizer below decks. This particular piece of apparatus has automatic features which will be explained later. 4 P O St Page One Hundred Sixty-eight . M � TEE 1920 EMF- -- Xow then, fellows, here comes the important part. Watch closely. Up comes the rubber belt conveyor bringing a projectile. “Looks very much like an ordinary shell, you say. Yes but it isn’t. This one is made of steel, having a magnetic permeability (U) of 9.000 and a magnetic charge of the intensity of 169,400] gausses to the cubic millimeter. (The reader may make these computations with his slipstick providing he works it at a mod- erate speed. The writer ran a hotbox on his by attempting to make these calculations and as a result disabled the ’steenth place on the log scale, there- fore allowances will have to be made for small errors.) To get back to our subject—the highly magnetized projectile is placed in the gun, the charge inserted and the breech closed. Presto! the push of a button and ROOM ! ! ! A-a-a-ah! but let’s look at the recording split-phase meter on our phosphor-platinum line. What! ! Jumping cross-eyed grass- hoppers! ! ! ! We have generated 9817 Milli-volt-amperes! And that is not figuring the wattless current nor the resultant components either! But what’s this little mark below the zero line on our chart? Oh yes, that is the non- inductive kick generated when the gun recoiled. We rush back to the gun again just in time to see the second shell brought up. It looks identically like the first but again, it isn’t. In the first the nose of the shell was the north pole, while in this it is the south pole. “But why the change,” you say. Simply this—we desire to generate alternating cur- rent and as it was sen in our simple experiment that by inserting the south pole we got a current in the opposite direction from that when we inserted the north, we are simply applying the principle. That’s all, just apply the principle. 'Phis current so generated may be used to propel the ship through its big “outa’synchronous” motors and thereby save our great government the worry of a coal shortage during the war season. Since gunpowder is so very cheap in comparison to the present as well as predicted future price of coal, it is thought that our invention will meet with a great deal of favor provided the next administration adopts economic measures so far overlooked by the pres- ent one. iCJ 'c� M£S S THKl 30LATotS —- ox. y r. ttMT-riOZK Merc .

For the purpose of protecting our idea (which is not patented, for reasons best known to the patent office), we are not showing this very unique and valuable piece of apparatus, but will leave it to the readers in- genuity and imagination to picture it, but take it from us it works! Believing now. that we have enlightened the public, and particularly the advisory council of the School of Engineering, regarding our wonderful in- vention of the age and trusting that the taxes of said people will be materially lowered by the enormous saving of coal it will make possible for our govern- ment, we inventors bid you a fond “Adios.” Signed: I.

Here is a NEW invention which we accredit to the brightest genius in the whole II-B clas. Certainly it is not necessary to mention his name! This invention will, without a doubt, furnish T. M. E. R. L. Co. with juice for the peak loads during the ensuing three years at least. In honor of the person who inspired the now famous inventor, this new strike of progress will be called “The Hertzian Aero-Accumulator and Energizer.” The device was designed for use entirely upon individuals who. by their constant and untiring efforts, have heated the classrooms with “hot air” dur- ing the past several months. It is a shame, we’ll admit, to deprive the classrooms of this cheap and efficient source of heat, but it is thought that since so little of said “hot air” was really absorbed by the students and faculty, this new means of utilizing the before-mentioned energy will be much more efficient than the old. The theory of it is, that when this apparatus is applied to the individuals worthy of being supplied with it, the general effect will be to reduce the amount of hot air issuing from the chasm between the jaws of the individuals. Also, since the same motion of said jaws will be made in relieving their minds as was made previously in “spilling the hot air,” this mechanical mo- tion will be used in producing air at ordinary temperatures and in a con- fined space whence it can be made to do work in a more beneficial form than was heretofore possible.

(What a poor mixed up mess.) THE MAKING OF A “ONE-FINGER ARTIST.” Among other impressions the average “Frosh” gathers during his first week at the School of Engineering is the one that while the instructors like a man who writes a neat hand, they fall violently in love with one who uses a typewriter. Gradually this impression begins to produce action and the “Frosh” comes into possession of one of the complicated instruments that he secs so easily manipulated in the office. Having acquired a typewriter by one of the following methods viz., to wit: Buying, begging, borrowing or renting, (stealing one is next to impossible) he is confronted by the problem of operation. The much heralded touch system requires time to learn and as he has several other things on his mind about that time, he generally accepts Mr. Kienth's suggestion of relying on the Hunt and Peck system. This system is one of the oldest as well as the most popular among ama- teurs. having been devised by Messrs. Long Hunt and Quick Peck in 1897. The operation under the Hunt and Peck system is very simple: the writer merely hunts for the key he wants and when found, pecks at it. It also offers the advantage of permitting the use of one finger on each hand only, thus saving the operator much valuable time should he subsequently lose the other three fingers. These exclusive advantages at once attract the “Frosh” and he practices diligently, but the well known elusiveness of the little ivory key causes 4’s to appear where T’s should bloom and r’s to occur in the space allotted to e’s. And the “Frosh” has ample opportunity for lurid thoughts and mental hymns of hate as he pecks and pecks and pecks. Gradually the keys become tired of their game of hide and seek and remain in one place long enough to be poked at the proper time. Finally the “Frosh” develops into a one-finger ar- tist. but by that time he is no longer a “Frosh.” WALTER A. BIETER. II-B. “TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.” Tf a joke is labeled in your name.

A little rest, a little labor, a friend or two, a kindly neighbor, the organ’s dirge, the lilt of tabor, and that is life. A little hope, a little prayer that we shall find the next world fair, that when we die some one will care, and that is life. We were promised unlimited space and expected to have more than we could fill. But we have on hand such a huge stack of articles that we can only list the authors and the titles and give a brief explanatory note of a few. The articles mentioned are very choice and we recommend that you consult the authors about them, as we think that you will find them well worthy of your perusal. M. J. Pfiefifcr was recently engaged in research work. During the holir days he completely dismantled the family car and its engine to the smallest nut. On reassembling it, he had sufficient left over to make several Fords. He handed in an article entitled “Everyman His Own Spare Part by One Who Knows”—very interesting. Mr. Leming enthused and burst forth with two brilliant features: “Speak Before You Think” and “Shake Your Head and Have a Rattling Good Time.” The author says that he writes from experience and is evidently an authority. $ Rounds, one Norman Howard, of High school and lady-killing fame, found time, between combing his pompadour and polishing his glasses, to write a clever classic entitled: “Make Your Own Joke and Then Laugh At It”—very well done. Reading, noted in officers’ circles and such other places, produced for our approval an article entitled: “The Mustache and Did You Notice It.” The thing does not seem to be a howling success; the author’s diction was good, but there seemed to be a dearth of material for him to work with. Mr. Pringle responded generously to the call and gave us an article, on cream-colored spats, labelled: “How to Be a Lily and Still Live.” It is as- tonishing, the extent to which an author will go. in order to lend his story color. Mr. Primacow, strange to say, handed in a large article, which we greatly regret, space docs not permit us to print. It was called “The Life of Tom Thumb, His Haunts and Habits.” This is not a short story, but a Shorty story, as it were. Royal A. B.—the A. B. stands for bachelor of athletics—wrote a thing entitled : “Physical Training and How to Skip.” If you arc in doubt as to the author’s meaning or method, consult him at the earliest opportunity. Mr. Lea—you all know him—instead of writing, came in and told us several stories, all of which he called, “Good Ones.” We are ashamed to confess that we laughed at these—the whole of them. But still we could not consider them fit for publication. Try to do better next time. Mr. Lea. Try to do better. Page One Hundred Eighty-five A « «� «« ««,« � , l ,, - � i THE 1102(0 E -X'' ' i Mr. Newell, Long John, composed an epic dedicated to Dr. Castor of Scott’s Emulsion. He headed it: “Speak to Me Sloanly.” Also, he gave us another one called: “Sam Buck, Rub It In.” While these things were screamingly funny, they were so in the nature of advertising matter that we were compelled to reject them. Mr. Olson lived up to expectations and came in on time with his contribu- tion. After several unsuccessful attempts to hypnotize the whole force, he became disgusted, left his manuscript and walked out. It was called: “The Psuper Psychology of the Psweet Patootie.” Being a married man, he should know. RAVINGS 1. Say boys, just look who’s here. Hold on, 'miff said.

Page One Hundred Eighty-six Page One Hundred Eighty-seven ’THE 1920 EMF- —„ —■ -- V ©V —-« —■— gMtea THE DOUGHNUT Reader you have probably lived some one-score years and possibly a few more. During that time you have seen many changes; many reforms have come and gone, but we still have with us the doughnut. How much longer must this miner of America’s digestion remain? Since we have a liquorless land, why not a doughnutless one? Gaze at the doughnut. What is it? Lay it on your plate. What do you see? A positive zero. Hat it. What do you sec? A negative zero? This is simple of comprehension and mentally quite easy to digest. But how about your stomach ? The only thing that can happen there is an extreme aggrava- tion. Again, how many people know how to cat the doughnut? One requires “Fresh’’ math., at least, to tackle it with any degree of safety. Suppose a left-handed man bites into the first quadrant, first; what happens? It be- comes minus. This is contrary to all laws: The epiglotts, not being pre- pared for this, will probably epiglot improperly and the man will be seized with convulsions. Again, suppose he bites between the first and fourth quadrant and this portion makes a tangent with the esophagus. What is the result? The esophagus immediately becomes a line function and extends from positive infinity to negative-. The victim will most likely attack his companions, biting viciously. There is, of course, a certain class of people who believe that ducking renders the thing harmless. True, the ducking process weakens it greatly, but it does not entirely disable it. The chief trouble lies in the fact that, in- stead of being retained as a precautionary measure, the ducking becomes a habit. This habit creeps on one until it finally becomes a passion and the addict consumes such large quantities, as to be almost fatal. It is possible that, in a spirit of extreme boldness, some venturesome youth might wager to swallow one of the accursed things in its entirety. Should he succeed, the result will be truly awful. Think of the clash of zeros and infinities, both positive and negative, which must take place. Tan- gents, cosines and secants will pierce him in all directions. Most likely there will be no trace. Kind friends will send lilies to mark the spot where he might have lain, had he but had more sense than swallow. However, if one insists upon consuming this dyspeptic viand, he should at least observe a few elementary precautions. Grasp the thing firmly and make a determined bite into either the second, third or fourth quadrant— preferably the third. Then attack the cross-sectional area, biting off but one degree at a time, and consuming the first quadrant last. This will reduce it to it’s negative state with a maximum degree of safety. There is only one thing to do! Let us rise and banish the product for all time and eat safely for aye and forever.

(I merely state my case because I believe it to be fairly representative of a good many.) I. like so many more of you, came here last fall, fresh from the service. I was entering into the world again, freed from many of the niceties of civilization, full of strange ideas, beaucoup kinds of language and possessed by an awful thirst. In fact, I was raw and uncouth—possibly a diamond in the rough, but if so, in the very rough. One semester has worked wonders. Today, I am a polished man. I admit it. I am polished to a high degree. Three months of surging and heaving about in the bottom of these one-armed arm-chairs has pro- duced a luster, which, my tailor informs me, will remain with me, unless my finances unexpectedly blossom forth to the strength of a new unit, until I pass into a decayed old age. This change, although at first gradual, is. nevertheless, miraculous. It creeps on us, while we sleep; unwary, we do not notice it until it has already become deep seated. After becoming deep-seated it becomes deep-elbowed and now it shows an alarming tendency to spread in all directions. Soon. I expect I shall sparkle both fore and aft until I resemble a Kentucky blue- grass glistening in the morning sunshine; only I shan’t have any mountain- dew. (Please excuse me mixing the metaphor, but what else can you mix nowadays ?) Brother this has been undoubtedly a great thing for us. I hope we all realize the benefits of this very necessary part of a man’s education. Most assuredly, we received it at a timely period in our career and we should be extremely grateful. But now that we are polished to the extent of being almost blase—to say nothing of being practically passe; should this part of our course continue? I think not. Why should we be rubbed at for the remainder of three years, when we are already burnished to the power of shine? Again, let us consider the bubbling youth, so fresh from high school, who will follow in our footsteps. Ought he of the unsophisticated mind and immature thought, receive this portion of his training so early in his life. Are not his years too few and tender to be given this worldly appearance? Should he not wear his blushes on his cheek instead of on his clothing—for another year at least? He should. What then, shall we do about it? I think that the school, as a modern, enterprising, new-idea institution, should install a different type of furniture. They should secure a supply of chairs and set- tees such as is found in the better class (the kind I prefer) of hotel lobbies. That is all I would ask at present as T buy my own stationery. Personally. I do not think that those table-armed, hard wooden monstrosities, which we at present have, arc fit for any man to sleep in. Let us then unite for com- fort; comfort means happiness. And remember: “The happy mind is an intelligent one” (I read that somewhere.) Surely, with the prospect of us becoming intelligent, the faculty and all concerned will give us their most hearty co-operation. Yea. verily, yea! Page One Hundred Ninety k m THE ELEVATOR GAME This is a good indoor pastime and may be played by any number of play- ers, the rule of the game being, the more the merrier. The three parties to the game are: The box or elevator, the king player or elevator man and the other players, who are classified into three groups, tenants, faculty and students. Primarily the game was played by two parties of players, those on the inside and those on the outside. In this simple form the king player acts as referee and by opening the gate gives the signal to play, whereupon those on the inside attempt to get out while those on the outside struggle to get in. Of course, in this early form of the sport, the play was always more or less rough-house and lacked the subtle- ties and niceties of play, which were afterwards introduced. I will attempt to enumerate a few of the situations, which arise in the modern game and some of the forms of play practiced by some of the most skilled devotees of the parties. The fifth floor situation. This situation of course may arise on any floor, but is named after the floor on which it mostly occurs. In this situa- tion the box must be entirely empty, with the exception of the king player, and there must be a far greater number of players on the outside than the box will accommodate. The majority of the players use the ordinary “strug- gle play” and each one who succeeds in entering scores “one.” A skilled player, however, usually prefers to make what is known as a “dash play.” To make a successful dash play one requires long practice, much nerve and an over-developed sense of capacity. The player who wishes to perform this daring feat must first place himself at least half way across the hall; usually it is preferable to get the back against the wall, in order to secure a high-speed kickoff. Care must be taken as to the timing of the dash or the play will not count. The player must wait until the box is crowded to the bursting point and the struggling players show a tendency to cease struggling and recede slightly: then he must spring, hurl himself across the room, cleave the exterior crowd and fling himself inside the box, in such manner that his feet clear the gate. This latter part is easy as he may stand on the feet of several of the players already inside. However, if he succeeds in the manner specified, he scores three and is known as an “ace.” Closely connected with the “dash play,” is the “deaf play.” It may hap- pen that the king player attempts to frustrate one or more of the other players by saying, “that's all.” (This being a privilege which he has!) It is now the object of the entering player to pretend not to hear and to gain access anyway. This play when successful scores two and the player is known as a “deuce.” In conjunction the dash and deaf count as six and the player is called a “joker.” and the situation is known as “deuces wild.” On the inside of the box. there are innumerable delicate situations which may arise and many refined methods of playing them. For instance, many players fill their suitcases with brick, lead, scrap-iron, wooden brains and other such forms of confetti; the satchel, thus weighted, they rest on the corns of the other players, from time to time. If the player is a lady, she probably wears a hat with its jib boom well aft and therewith scores sev- eral other players in the eye, scoring something or nothing as the case may be. This form of play is known as “love fifteen,” and there is no come- ov; Page One Hundred Ninety-one M 11920 Eifeig back. Other players, by dint of long practice, manage to hold their suitcase, umbrellas and elbows, each at right angles to the other and then gyrate in the manner of a weather vane. This sort of thing is called a “spread misere” and should be abolished from the game. However, each player may develop his own style of interior play and so many are the opportunities that they cannot be dwelt upon in this brief article. There is, though, a legalized form of play carried on from the interior, which is known as the “pass play.” This consists of giving the stop signal when you are already halfway past your floor. If the king player backs the box up and lets you out at your floor, you score one. On the other hand, if he says: “BLINKETY— “ “ :‘ —XZY V$(” and keeps on going, you lose and all the onlooking players laugh heartily and score one. At the last part of each inning there is the “exit situation”- and many opportunities arc open for action with a high degree of skill. As soon as the destined floor is reached the king player gives the signal to play by opening the gate. Then it is up to the player who has been elected as “the goat,” usually by his position near the doorway, to commence the exit. While the goat is attempting to step through the doorway, the “jog player” must act. He must surge forward and jam the goat violently against the iron framework; if he succeeds in breaking the goat's ribs he scores one. If the goat be a member of the faculty the object is to first stun him and then kick him in the face. If this latter is done it constitutes a “natural” and you are allowed to “shoot the works.” The game, considered on the whole, is undoubtedly an excellent one. It is a clean and invigorating sport and just the thing to produce a sturdy and valiant America. Alas! Recently there has crept into the game the “safety first play.” This is a low. mean and contemptible form of play. In this feature the spineless being who makes the play gets in at the fourth floor and rides to the fifth in order to reach his destination in the basement, or vice versa from main to basement, etc. The player caught at this sort of thing should be tarred and feathered and be barred from all further con- tests. I appeal to you. let the noble game continue as of yore, lest the goodly arts of kicking, biting and gouging be lost for evermore. D. A. R.

Members of the class all agree that a man of his size should be able to sec all the interesting things that were happening. 'Phis list only partly names our men, but you sec we are there. Shumacher will evidently make a wonderful professor same day. Already, he can call the roll. If you don’t believe us ask Mr. Stewart. We wonder why Hiller takes his books to “Butterfly” and leaves them there. Is it possible that you can study them there, Hiller? Do any term II man remember experiment 10S? Wells Wigins, Bannis- ter. Walker and Zimmerman think they can do it now. After a search of an hour and a half they located a broken wire in it with the help of a few professors. If Mether will write us a description of his dreams, we will excuse him for sleeping during English classes. Slve sits on the front row of seats in order to save his voice while asking questions. Rogers has been excused from physical training. He maintains that he gets enough exercise from pushing the chair in front of him back and forth with his feet during class periods. Aikcns is the hero of II-F. his popularity being due to his knowledge of Elect. Lab. and his ability to juggle algebraic equations. Pagel has been experimenting at some length to sec if H-jO+K. a water spannicl. Can anyone give him the desired information?

This position is not a bestowed one it is because of his nature that his high position fell to him. In other words he is the happiest guy in the bunch. Not a sorrow is so great but he can laugh at it. Rogers. “Hep” derived from helpless. The dangerous work always falls upon him in chemistry. It is not because of his brave nature, but be- cause of his two partners that he has to do all the dangerous work for his group. If he is a little shaky about doing a dangerous experiment, when ordered to do so by Pirie and Pagel. he is promptly asked if he is helpless. Hence the name. “He is from Mizzouri and has to be showed.” Pirie. If Pirie. our Jazz Baby, cannot be found at school he will surely be at the Wells-Colonial or the Empress. When called upon to sell any- thing from Annuals to Papcl's skates he is right there. He does like to see the money come in. Hiller. As long as Hiller, our club datcr. stays on the job no one will lack a fair partner for any occasion. We all agree that he is poor on remem- bering the addresses of his lady friends but he always manages to round someone up to fill the bill when called upon. Another remarkable thing about “Dater” is that he always has more girls on his list after Christmas than before. Hayes. “Toughie” is the tough, rough and ready guy of the gang as one might judge from his nickname. He has seen service in France. His chief occupation while there was to cut the toes off dead Germans which lie now proudly exhibits as souvenirs of the great war. He is old enough to buy a revolver, but because of the tough expression he sometimes wears, was unable to do so. Pagel. “Slim” as everyone knows, is a very obliging chap. He did not make a very big hit with Mr. Stewart though when he told him one day in Math, class that some paper in the lamp bowl was burning. But Pagel's obliging disposition is fully appreciated by the members of this club. Prof Kienth—“Well, how did your analysis come out?” Walker-—“Right through this hole in the bottom of the beaker.” Rounds—(First day in Milwaukee.) “Conductor, which end of the car do I get off?” Con.—“Either end, both ends stop.” • Mr. Krotzer—“Are you finding the work very hard?” Reading—“Yes.

Rice—I came to .set the styles and to recover from last year’s social events. Zimmerman—I came to escape the eagle eye of my parents in order that I might play poker at pleasure. I hope to become a “sharper” in time. Myers—Life in Iowa wasn’t exciting enough to suit his peculiar dis- position. J. W. Page One Hundred Ninety-eight M ' % -f HE 1920 A TIP FOR II-F ENGINEERS 1 Upon starting in on a new term's work, make out as complicated a schedule «'is possible. The office force will appreciate your efforts. (How about it, Miss Koehler?) 2 Kindly inform your instructors as to how they should deliver their lec- tures. You will make a big impression on them by so doing. 3 While in chem. lab. blow up a few generators. You will be surprised to see how it breaks the monotony. (The pleasure is all yours, Slye.) 4 Do not bother your electrical lab. instructors by asking them for fuses. After three or four months of school, you should be able to help yourself. 5 Develop the habit of throwing chalk and waste paper in the lamp bowls. It will make a good basketball played of you. 6 After completing term one you are qualified to .step into the limelight. Wearing an S. O. E. tic and a red and white chrysanthemum down Grand Avenue will get you the spotlight as quickly as anything. 7 Make as much use of the elevators as possible. The operators enjoy the work immensely. (Ask Looic, he knows.) 8 While in class, cultivate the habit of whistling and scratching on the chairs and walls. Your instructors will immediately inform you as to how highly they appreciate these habits. 9 If possible, specialize in deaf and dumb language. It will save a great deal of time and trouble for both the Chamber of Commerce girls and your- self. 10 Remember, it is patriotic to be economical. If you cannot smoke all your cigarette during class intermissions, go fifty-fifty with a friend. Perhaps he will return the favor later on. 11 Mingle as much as possible with the crap shooters. Your donations to the good cause may save some of the boys a long Sunday night walk. 12 Attend all the smokers given by the school. Make it a point to get to every otic if it is only long enough to grab off a good cigar. O. E. S. 4 0 0 LITERALLY OF COURSE Bright Elcctrotech (to Editor Maiers) : “I sent you some suggestions telling how to make the E. M. F. more interesting. Have you carried out my ideas?” Maiers: “As you came in did you meet the office boy with the waste basket ?” Elec-tech.: “Yes, sir, I did.” Maiers: “Well he was carrying out your ideas.” Page One Hundred Ninety-nine EZZ3agr CHAIRS Chairs are sometimes useful and sometimes merely ornamental articles sprinkled with great profusion throughout all edifices. Those chairs which arc ornamental seem also designed for the purpose of discouraging sedentary habits, although they sometimes do make excellent objects on which to rest the eyes. . . The functions of useful chairs are many and varied: They are stood upright by those who cannot reach the top shelf; they arc fine things to stumble over in the dark; rightly placed, they make an excellent device for covering that worn spot on the carpet; their proper arrangement about a table shows who is the head, or at least, in the case of family tables, who is the figurehead; they furnish welcome storage facilities for tacks and pins which have been discarded by small boys. An easy chair is one which will suffer all kinds of personal abuse without retaliation. Such a chair stands in marked contrast to that which tips over backward just as one begins to think that it is easy. Chairs which look easy are not always to be trusted. Treacherous chairs have unusual opportuni- ties for deception, for the reason that, regardless of the amount of suspicious attention one bestows when contemplating their use, when put into common use one always turns his back to them, thus flaunting temptation in their faces and putting himself at an exceptional disadvantage. It would probably be wasted time which was spent trying to invent a chair which one could sit in and face at the same time, as a chair's back is also its front, and its top may be its bottom; but this is not true of human beings.

Page Two Hundred Fifteen If i_ -THE 1192(0� EltftF ' ' ——- £—rfc——— ' tEbrtrntprljnirian OUajsjs 12A In a far western Canadian province lived a young man who liked to do things. He liked physics and electricity. High school did not seem to offer the practical things that interested him most. He dreamed of great hydro- electric plants in the mountains to the west, which abounded in lakes and waterfalls; and electric railways on the plains below, so much needed for the transportation of vast quantities of grain and dairy products. This young man was John A. Ross, of Nanton, Alberta. And John was more than a dreamer. Leaving high school in the early part of January, 1918, he entered the Electrotechnician department of the S. O. E. He virtually worked his way through school by part time employment with the Journal Publishing Company. What could be more natural than for a young man who was reared in Milwaukee to take to a sailor’s life on the Great Lakes. That is just what Aldcn F. Nash did. While employed as steamship pilot, Mr. Nash had plenty of time to carefully consider just what he would like to take up as his life work. Having carefully noted the possibilities in the electrical field, he decided to enter the S. O. E. Mr. Nash is a clean-cut, enterprising young man. To know him is to like him. He has been very energetic in class work and R. O. T. C. While attending school, he has been employed the greater part of the time as a sub-station operator by the Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light Company. Between squints through a surveyors transit and driving stakes (some- where in Missouri) James C. Duff got the idea that an electrical engineer’s job was the proper thing for him. And we find that he was right. Duff takes to electricity for the same reason that a duck takes to water, because it is the most natural thing in the world to do. At his home in Lincoln, 111., he was a popular basketball player; and has been quite active in athletics and class work in the S. O. E. No road seems too long nor distance too far for the man who has made up his mind to get an education. Such a man is Waldo Rankin, “Radio Bug’’ and all-around athlete. During the war, Waldo was employed in a shell factory in Greenville, Tenn. After the armistice had been signed he found himself looking for something to do. Few things appealed to him like electricity and that radio idea, so we find Waldo working his way through the S. O. E., and taking an active part in track meets, football, wrestling and boxing. A little taste of that mysterious fluid (?) called electricity only seems to wet some people’s appetite for more. John H. Eckhardt of Hastings, Nebr., got his taste with the Guarantee Electric Company of that city. As a result we find him at the S. O. E. wrestling with those elusive Amps and Ohms. He has taken great interest in class work, and, being a lover of sports, has been active in football, basketball and wrestling. He has been employed during his spare time by the Journal Publishing Company. Philip O. Lathrop was one of the boys in khaki before entering the S. O. E., being a musician in the U. S. Army. Previous to that he had been attending high school in his home town of Jackson, Mich. While in the service he heard of the reputation of the S. O. E. and decided it was just the place for him. Philip divides his spare time between learning to run a slide-rule and playing jazz on his saxaphone. Page Two Hundred Sixteen se C ZZ u '4 H.920 EMF .... Canada seems to be pretty well represented in our class. John W. Steven- son came from Chatham, Ontario. “Steve’’ had been working with his father in the hardware business. Not being very enthusiastic over handling every- thing from nails to thrashing machines, but being interested in farm lighting plants and electricity in general, he decided to come to the S. O. E. Unlike a lot of fellows one meets, Steve feels that he can use all the education he can get. While here he has been employed afternoons by the Phoenix Light- ing Company, assembling fixtures. Another of our class who hails from the “wild and woolly” west is Leslie Holder. Having been lucky enough to receive a small sum of money from his “dry ranch” at Joliet. Mont., he decided to take a course in electricity. This had long been his ambition, for a lack of knowledge of this subject had been a drawback to him when working at his trade of automobile mechanic. Hence we find Leslie at the S. O. E., plugging away and getting more inter- ested every minute. He has been employed, while here, as moving picture operator at the Lyric theater. One of the last to enter the class, and one who has made an excellent show- ing, was George E. Phelps, from Oakfield, Wis. George had been employed by Uncle Sam as a rural mail carrier before an S. O. E. advertisement came to his notice. He was taken with the idea that he could earn his way through school, and enrolled in the electrician department in 1917. After six months in that department he joined the Tank Corps of the U. S. Army. Released from service in January, 1919, he again entered the S. O. E. as an Electro- technician. George is an energetic student and an active class man. He has been employed in the drafting room of the Phoenix-Richardson Company during his spare time. During the early part of 1917, R. Maicr was employed by the Cutler- Hammer Company, testing switchboards, and finished out the year by attend- ing Washington High School. We next find him with the A. O. Smith Cor- poration doing electric welding on aero bombs. In January, 1919, he entered the Electrotechnician department of the S. O. E. He has spent part of his spare time while attending school with the Milwaukee Worsted Mills, learn- ing the business. Mr. Maier’s hobby is raising homing pigeons, and he is an active member in one or two pigeon clubs. DONT’S Don't contradict Mr. Racth. Don’t try to argue with Oscar. Don’t try to get into Mr. Kelly’s class after the bell rings. Don’t blame your tardiness to the street car service. Don’t fail to laugh when Mr. Raeth cracks a joke. Don’t go to the wrong window to get laboratory apparatus from Mr. Hughes. Don’t ask Mr. Schuster the same question twice. VALUES INCREASING “Do you know that I feel just like 30 cents?” said Eckhardt. Then Doris sweetly smiled and commented: “Well, well, everything seems to have gone up since the war.” Page One Hundred Eighty-five Page Two Hundred Eighteen . .

When a neighbor called for aid, “For you I grieve, but I cannot leave,” Said the man with a fortune made. Proud pomp replied in a similar way, “I haven’t the time to be kind today.” Page Two Hundred Twenty-fou Page Two Hundred Twenty-five The sick man sighed for a friendly hand And the smile of a friendly face, But the great passed by and he wondered why. And the swift still kept the pace. They were all too bent on their own affairs To give much thought to another’s cares. But one unknown to pomp or fame Who plodded along the way, Heard the sick man cry as he wandered by. And he turned from his busy day To sit with him for a little while With a cheerful word and a friendly smile. For kindness isn’t of time or chance. Nor something that dwells apart; It does its tasks when a brother asks And throbs in a friendly heart, And I think some day we shall come to find That the greatest man is the one who’s kind.

I used to wonder why it was so few were at the top: Why some men get so far ahead while all the others stop, But that was in the olden days when I was but a lad. I understand it now because experience Pvc had. I went into a corner store to spend my hard-earned pelf. The man who owns the little place was standing there himself, But he was talking politics or something with a friend. And hadn’t time to take the cash which I had come to spend. I fumbled with my pocketbook. I tried to catch his eye. I tried a dozen ways or more to show I’d come to buy. At last I asked him kindly if he cared to wait on me And found how truly insolent a foolish man can be. I do not wonder any more why few men reach the top; I’ve found the answer many times in many a store and shop. A lot of men start out in life with hope and prospects bright, But just a few discover that it pays to be polite. 4s n n y Page Two Hundred Twenty-eight Page Two Hundred Twenty-nine Page Two Hundred Thirty P m VS' V ' THE 1L92© EMffc ..... r—1 Page Two Hundred Thirty-one [dicurri e: c.'

My wife is sitting on the arm of my chair and our little daughter is on my knee, and a fine little girl, eight years old the day before Thanksgiving. Over there by the library table is our son curled up in a chair, as usual, reading a book of some kind. Looking up at my wife I asked her if sonny still had about half of the public library up in his room. Answering me she .said that he had and that she could get him to do little more than read. So I questioned him thus, 5 “Well, son, what you are reading tonight?” “I am just looking at the pictures in this old E. M. F. that 1 found down in the library. I saw your pictures in it and started to read some of these funny nicknames and things. “Say Daddy, just think 1 will be sixteen next June. I'll soon be ready to go to the School of Engineering won’t I? “Yes, just as soon as you are through high school you may go to Milwau- kee and take a course in electrical engineering.” “I saw several of my old school mates last Saturday in Chicago. “Bring the book here so we can all sec the pictures and I will tell you about them. I came hurrying into the Union station, glanced at the clock, and saw that it was just 8:43. Then I walked over to the bulletin board and I saw that the Manhattan Limited had left at 8:15, so there I was with no other train out of there until 10:30, so T started walking around the station not paying attention to anybody, iust thinking how disappointed you and mother would be if I shouldn’t be on that train. Just as I was passing one of the seats someone pushed a traveling bag directly in front of me and of course my feet had to get all tangled up in it and I fell flat on the floor right there in the station. Well I wasn’t in the best of humor when I got up. not knowing whether to laugh or get angry, for there were three men in the seat who were cer- tainly making a laughing stock of me. Well I just stood there for a few seconds and looked at them before I recognized who they were. I think they saw that I wasn’t laughing very much when one of them jumped up, and grabbed my hand and just about shook it off. Now who do you think it was? It was one of those fellows whose picture you see there in that book. Nelson, C.olc and Sutherland. Nelson pulled out a gold cigar case and gave each of us a cigar. Well we lit our cigars and after taking a few good draws I found I had never smoked such a good cigar in my life. Nelson ‘I said,’ how can you smoke such high priced cigars as these? Oh, he replied. I never pay any attention to the price, I just smoke what I like best. Well old top what kind of a job have you got any way that you can be so careless with your money? Well he said, I am still with the T. M. E. R. L. Co. Yes. I came on up the ladder from conductor to superintendent of traffic. Yes there arc three more of the old class yet in Milwaukee. McCoy is still with the T. M. E. R. L. Co. Say that guy has the world beat when it comes to efficiency. He is chief engineer at the Oneida street power house and every machine and instrument is working at a rate of 99.75% perfect. Every new piece of machinery incoming is given the hard test and if it falls below 99% efficient he won’t keep it. Even his men have an efficiency record of 98.5%. Page Two Hundred Thirty-four . Vi M THE 102® E] There is Talbot who has bought out the Herman Aiulrac Son Electric Co. and Currie who has been superintendent of that place for several years. He was telling me the other night, however, that he is going into partner- ship with Talbot the first of next month. Then 1 asked Cole what he was doing. Well he said, Sutherland and myself have a pretty fair business here in Chicago. We bought the Illinois Chemical Works in West Chicago. Then I asked him if he knew what had become of Bauer. He said the last he had heard of him he was president of the Idaho State University. Cole also said he had received a letter from Grosso not long ago and that he had a fine position as consulting electrical engineer for the Duluth Iron Mining Incorporation. Just then Sutherland asked, Who is that fine looking gentleman over there? He looks familiar to me, but I can’t just place him. At that lie turned around and we all recognized him. It was Sussmilch, who came over and shook hands with us and we asked him what he was doing in that uniform. Well, he said. “I am making men and soldiers out of School of Engineering students.” “Oh. I sec you are the military instructor at the School of Engineering.” “Yes.” he said, ‘T can sign my name as Major Sussmilch and not feel an after effects at all. I am not the only major at school, however. There is Major Rhynard. He is my assistant.” “By the way. Major, do you know what has become of Ferrell?” “Why yes. 1 received a letter from him not long ago. He is Dean of the Boston Technical College.” “Say, Major, you remember Hendricks, don’t you? Well, he has a fine position as general sales manager for the General Electric C.o.” “Well, he always did like to talk. I expect he is a fine salesman.” “Oh yes, there is Krause and Fitzsimmons. They are in partnership in a large wholesale electrical goods house here in Chicago. At this moment one of the train callers started in singing his song. I tried to catch the names of the towns, but all I could understand was Pennsylvania train on track 4. So I told the fellows that I would leave them as that was my train.” “Have another cigar before you go,” said Nelson, so I took another cigar and shook hands with them and caught my train for home. But daddy who is this one here with such a funny name? Oh, that is William Juuti. I nearly forgot him. Listen son. do you re- member that picture show where we saw that big parade, and a man riding in a fine carriage drawn by four magnificent horses? Well that man was Juuti. He went back to his own country where a short time afterwards he was appointed by the governor general of Finland to a place in the senate. What about yourself daddy? Here is your picture. Well son there isn't much to say about myself. I guess my old nickname of Sec. will always stay with me. for I shall be promoted to secretary of the Wcstinghouse Electric Co. the first of July.

Why is Nowrocki detained in Room 18 when he comes in late? Ask Pilger, he knows. In chemistry the instructor asked “Red” Zinn what the conservation of energy was. Zinn answered, “It is something, about like the way we get milk from the sun.” He explained further, “The sun shines on the earth causing the grass to grow. The cows eat the grass and the farmers get milk from the cows.” Professor Raeth (in chemistry), “Mr. Hlisting, what causes balloons to ascend ?

One day, however, Jack got hold of a dish of strained honey. After taking it to his table he discovered to his dismay that it contained a couple of hairs. Hastening back to the counter lie exchanged the offending dish of honey for one of ice cream. No sooner had Jack started to eat the cream, however, than he noticed that it also contained hair. Jack, quite peeved by this time, hurried back and demanded something free from hairs. Mother Cassidy was all apologies and told him to try a dish of apple sauce. You can imagine Jack’s disgust when lie discovered that there was hair in the apple sauce. Unable to contain himself longer, he rushed back and set the sauce squarely in front of Mother Cassidy. “I ordered honey,” he complained, “and it was full of hairs.” “Quite so,” gurgled Mother. “It easily happens. Doubtless it came from the comb.” “Oh,” said the astonished Jack. “Well, perhaps you can explain why there were hairs in the ice cream?” he questioned sarcastically. “Certainly,” answered Mother. “You see we shaved the ice this morning. Nothing unusual about a stray hair getting in.” “Is that so?” snapped Jack. “I want you to know that even the apple sauce had hairs in it. What can you say to that?” Mother Cassidy looked nonpulsed for a moment, but finally chuckled. “Well say Jack, you’ve got me there. I can’t understand how that could have happened. Those apples were all Baldwins.” Page Two Hundred Fifty-one Page Two Hundred Fifty-two 1 ■THE 1920 Epn? M :«l I George Berg DeSoto, Missouri. Lester E. Belang Nickname “Slim” Chicago, III. Jas. M.

After we had been examined and assigned to classes we finally got down to business. The first class meeting was held on April 24th. and at this time we elect- ed officers, selected a class flower, motto etc., and got acquainted generally. Mr. Smith was elected president, Mr. Benzinger, vice president, Mr. Watts, secretary. Mr. Apel chief editor, and Mr. Thyse, assistant editor. The class colors selected arc green and gold, and the motto: “If in doubt, find out.” After this was done we got acquainted and found that we had about as fine a class (in our estimation) as we had seen, so far. Just as the class had gotten well under way, we lost some of our officers and members, who either left school or were tranferred to other departments. This made it necessary to elect some new officers as Mr. Apel, Mr. Benzinger and Mr. Watts left at this time. During the first three months we became acquainted with Mr. Bach, who showed us all about his new short extractor; Mr. Dostal, who showed us why six pencils minus six pencils, don't leave a half a dozen ; and also Mr. Hughes who taught us all about that good old law that Mr. Ohm invented. After the exams, which we pulled through without any bad results, we tackled the second term where we met some new instructors. Mr. De Laurelle became our mathematician extraordinary, and when interest lagged in that branch gave astronomy for a chaser. Mr. Parske took Mr. Hughes’ place and took us farther into the mysteries of heat and light. When the third term began in October, we gained two new members. Mr. Suddeth and Mr. Karling. This term passed very quickly as Mr. Hennig took us in hand and showed 11s the why and wherefor of D. C. Motors and Generators. We soon became so proficient in this line that not more than three or four fuses were blown on each experiment. When the term came to an end, we were surprised to find that we ojily had fifty questions in each exam where we expected to get one hundred. Now we are on the last stretch, and going strong. Mr. Dc Laurelle still sticks with us and continues to write on our mental blackboard and de- velop our ingenuity (his own expressions.) Mr. Hennig also gives us the dope on A. C. 'This is as far as we are able to write about our class at this time. As we look back at the past year and see what a good bunch of fellows we have been associated with we almost regret that it will soon be time to leave the School of Engineering to go out and face the world and see what our education is worth.

When the war is over Laddie Just take a tip from me— There will be no German submarines A-diving through the sea. In the fatherland is Kaiser Bill; The guy we are going to lick; We’ll have a brand new kaiser And the same will be a Mick. We’ll change the song. Die Watcht Am Rhine, Into an Irish reel; And make the dutchman dance it too If so inclined we feel. The police force in Berlin, Will be Micks from County Clare; When we put an Irish Kaiser, In the Palace over there. Sure in every parkwdy You’ll find a sweet Colleen; In the fields of waving Sauer Kraut We’ll plant the shamrock green. No liverwurst or sausage When the dutchman drinks his suds; But he’ll eat corned beef and cabbage, And good old Irish spuds. The heathens guns and gas bombs We’ll surely throw away, And make them use shillalahs, Or bricks of Irish clay. They will wear no iron crosses, Sure its shamrocks they will wear, When we put an Irish kaiser, In the palace over there. Paye Two Hundred Seventy-four -THE A SERIOUS QUESTION My Dear Nellie: The time 1 hope has! now arrived at which I may venture upon a topic I have not thought it proper heretofore to introduce upon your notice. I have now reached the point I hope, in which 1 will not be rashly assuming the responsibility of asking you, and I hope it will not be unjust to you to be addressing upon the subject. It has been my hope and ambition for a long time to ask you this ques- tion. May I now ask you to consider this matter? I have always admired you, with a real and settled admiration which one of my age is best capable of feeling. It has grown steadily in depth and strength until I have realized to myself the truth, that the warm spirit that inspired me, I cannot overcome. If you will kindly answer this question, you will render me the happiest of men. I have several times lately been on the point of asking you this, but as constantly have I needed courage to do so. In the hope of being eased from this painful state of anxiety, 1 trust that you will answer me either by letter or by your own lips at the earliest opportunity. “Will Jeff ever be as tall as Mutt? Yours anxiously, Phillips tells this: When two Americans met on the street of any Rhinelander town, con- versation like the following ensued: “Bon jour, Red. Where were you gestern abend?” “Last evening? Why I was schlafen.” “Schlafen, nothing!” “I hope to step in your mess kit if 1 wasn’t schlafen. Where was you?” “Schokolade party, and s-o-m-e time, take it from me. Three frauleins —swell janes—beaucoup cognac, and piano spiclen. Krank heads dies’ morgen.

Time: In the soft June moonlight (12:00 P. X.) Conversation like the following ensued: “Jack,” said his best girl, one night when they were alone in the parlor, “you are so wonderful, and you know so much about electricity. Won’t you tell me all about it?” “Sure thing. What do you want to know?” Well, what is insulation?” “Insulation? Oh! yes. Please put on a glove—so. I take your hand in mine—now it is insulated.” “I see. And what is a conductor?” “A conductor? Take off your gloves—our hands touch; they connect. See?” “Why, it is ridiculously simple. What is an ampere?” “That is a little harder to illustrate. It is the power of electricity. The power—I take your hand—it is the power that makes me do it. You see?” “Perfectly. But what is a volt?” “A volt: It is the pressure of the electricity.” (He squeezed her hand tighter.) That is voltage electrically speaking.” “How remarkably simple.” “Anything else?” “Yes—what is resistance?” “Well. well. If I were a-a-er to attempt to -er-kiss you, now, I would meet with resistance, wouldn’t I?” “Well, er-er-er I-I don’t quite understand. Can’t you illustrate that?” So he illustrated it; but there was no resistance. “How wonderful!” she fluted, between sighs. “Now, Jack, dear what is short circuit?” There was a loud step and the door burst open and in rushed her father. “I’ll show you what a short circuit is,” he roared, as he made for the sofa on which Jack had sat, but luckily was no more, he having dived through the window pane with a bang. “Some short circuit.” mused pa. looking over the damage. LEWIS H, REYNOLDS. AMERICANISM IN CLASS The Potential Club, which is an organization of the members of the class to promote social and literary activities, puts ahead of all else, the pro- motion of 100% Americanism in the class and by virtue of its by-laws, will expell any member found to be in sympathy with I. W. W., Socialistic and anti-American factions. The unanimous voting for this amendment to the by- laws of the club, and the personal knowledge and acquaintance with all the members of the class shows it to be 100% American, and each member ‘raring to go,’ boosting Americanism. OLIVER A. TYLER. a I age Two Hundred Eighty Sst -THE 1920 EMF- SB P_ OTEKTIALS CLASS HISTORY By J. R. Tway It was on July 1st. 1919, that one of the best classes of students ever en- rolled in the School of Engineering, signed their respective “John Hancocks” on the little yellow blanks of the school. Each and every one of these stu- dents came with the ardent desire to increase his mental capacity and by so doing, to lit himself for the better things in life. Every student possessed the ‘Pep’ and initiative to make him pull through in “Al” condition. Thus the class of “E-3-A” was started. Although this class had some thirty men to boast of it, the number gradually dwindled down to about twenty-three at one time. We must not forget, however, that it maintained a 100% record in both class members and also in efficiency through the remaining months of its course. In January, 1920. their number was increased to thirty-one, thus putting them at their initial enrollment number. Again, using the old saying that “Large oaks from little acorns grow,” so from the nucleus of this class has developed a society within it, known as the “POTENTIALS.” This organization was formed in November, 1919. 'fhe officers elected were as follows: Joseph R. Tway ..............................................President 1-Icnry P. Plunkett.....................................Vice-President William C. Filliiian...............................Secretary-Treasurer Adam Ardovitch ...............................................Reporter George Phillips .........................Reporter and Sergeant-at-arms F. W. Murphy .........................................Sergeant-at-arms A set of by-laws was drawn up and the government of the organization was conducted along up-to-date lines.

THE AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERS Though our history as a class has only begun, the glory and magnificence of our achievements belong to the future. Although the Three Months Auto- motive Electrotechnician Course is new to this institution, it promises to be- come a great factor in its composition, bids fair to overshadow in a large degree many of the other courses of the school and to become one of the outstanding features by which the institution will be judged. Like the pio- neers of American history who took up the conquest of the wilderness, we blaze the trail for an ever increasing number to follow in our footsteps. This course was devised to train men for positions involving automotive work. While the broad field of electricity is attracting thousands of stu- dents, there are but two departments of this kind in the United States, one at Chicago, the other, of course, in this school, that of the School of Engineering being the larger. This department is destined to grow into a well established course of the school. After convincing other institutions of the practicability and efficiency of the training, similar departments will eventually be added to their cur- riculums. Amid the sound of the hammer and saw of the workmen com- pleting the equipment, we become more and more acquainted with electricity. We are fortunate indeed, to have with us an instructor of the caliber of Mr. Consolivar. a former member of the faculty of the University of Wis- consin, who has the management of this department.

This car attained a speed of 74 miles per hour for a distance of 38 miles on Chicago speeding in May. 1917. It was built and owned by the writer. The changes made in the car were as follows: Wheel base 110 inches, radiator 5y gallons, capacity, pump circulation engine has 1 ] 2 inch valves with lift of y inches by special cain shaft, 1% inch intake and exhaust ports with 3 inch exhaust pipe leading to rear of machine. Pis- tons were lynite with light connecting rods, ignition was a twatcr-kent type C. C.. the carburators uses was 1 4 in Master with stationary jets. The gas tank has 40 gallon capacity with air pressure to insure a positive feed at all times. 'Phis was the fastest Ford car built up to that time. It took a number of firsts including one at state fair at Springfield, Illinois. It was built by James Baker. Dc Witt. Illinois. AUTOMOTIVE 3-A The average battery man knows only three ways of burning terminal on storage batteries. These are the Ox-Acetylene. Ox-hydrogen and the carbon-cuc method. But James Baker has another way all his own : He says, “dad burn ’em.’- 'Plic same Baker claims to be the only man who has ever seen a volt. He declares that it happened one stormy day recently. The volt came out of the ground for just a short period of time but finding the temperature a bit unpleasant, it disappeared with such amazing rapidity as to make a whip- cracker of its tail. Oh. yes! the volt has a tail, you just ask Baker. On another page you will see James in his Universal racer. He makes quite a splash with this fire-wagon, but he made his biggest splash one day by driving off a Wheatstone bridge. Prior to this incident, the Wheatstone bridge had been quite an obsession on Baker’s mind, but recenti; we have heard very little about it. Class Editor Thompson of Class 3-A Auto Electrotechnicians seems quite worried of late but it is no wonder when one considers the burden his youth- ful shoulders carry. Scarcely had he entered school when the editorship was thrust upon him. He has borne up wonderfully, but it is feared he will have to abandon his studies for a complete rest-up when his work in connection with the get- ting up of the Annual is at last happily accomplished. Klinkc and Stcgeberg arc finding it slightly difficult to discern between negative and positive plates but Mr. Peterson hopes to clear them up on this point before they leave school. If they learn one thing thoroughly they will know more than some people. Just as our section goes to press we find that Weaver is missing from the laboratory where he has been working with group No. 1 of the 3-A class during the first week of laboratory work. We hope he will be around when our pictures are taken for the Annual, otherwise this great book will not be complete. If there is anything that group No. 1 would like to tell to their children and grand children in years to come, it is of their pleasant associa tion with one. “Weaver.” whom we all delighted to call “superintendent.” 4 Page Three Hundred Five cpAH b; T Mt ftPHV - Q.

Watry: “I wonder if H, S04 would have a kick.” It has been reported that Schaefer kept awake one entire lecture period. If Behr eats six apples at recess, how many would he eat during the whole course? Hollister smokes if someone else furnishes the cigarettes. Baerwald was positive that the cow became hypnotized. Peinvitz is progressing rapidly in the “Abie Seas” of electricity. Which would Scafe rather do, go to work or to school? Neither. Wilton was late to class waiting for the elevator, “which ain’t.” If necessary, swallow your gum, Mr. Johnson, but refrain from sticking it on the scat. Will some one kindly explain to Andrews the use of “collect her rings?” Janies evidently thinks brushes are used to sweep up currents. Hollister had a little car, It’s wheels were white as snow. And every where that Hollister went His girl was sure to go. In the good old days When dad was young. He used a one-horse shay.

I was sent to the hospital to have my tonsils taken out. At the hospital they altered the housing arrangements in my nose and throat considerably but after a couple of days I was feeling normal again. One evening a very good looking nurse came in to take my temperature. She asked me whether 1 could sleep. I told her I was very peculiar, in that I never could sleep unless 1 was “tucked” in and kissed goodnight. She ad- justed all the bed-clothes and then called in Watkins. Now I knew that Watkins was the orderly and not at all the sort of a person that I would choose to kiss. I argued with the beautiful lady to the effect that I never was able to do my best kissing before an audience and that Watkins was en- tirely unnecessary. Her only reply as she left the room was, “The orderly does all the rough work around here.” C.

Ambitious men whose personal obligations are such that they cannot leave home and spend a year or more at a resident school. Employees of electrical companies who want to learn more about the technical end of their work while on the job. There are men from telephone companies, telegraph companies automobile plants (electrotechnicians on ig- nition) power plants, electric traction corporations, companies manufacturing electrical specialties, electric light concerns, and many similar concerns. Science teachers and high school graduates who want to learn more than mere theoretical science. School of Engineering students who. for financial reasons, drop out of school for a term or more, and who wish to do as much training as they can before they return. Draftsmen, engineers, cost and efficiency men, mechanics and others who wish a thorough vocational training in electricity. Let me introduce you to some of these men. Here is Edwin Kiefer of Rubicon. Wisconsin. He is particularly interested in the development of water power in Wisconsin. He vrites: “Wisconsin's rivers, if utilized, would be able to furnish the entire state with all the electric power needed for all its industries. A start has already been made. Kaukauna has mills operating by water power. Kilbournc, on the Wisconsin, has a very fine electric power plant. Other cities further down this river have large dams constructed to drive their light plants. But a great many more could, and should, be constructed.” J. G. Hoi sen D. Blodgett Page Three Hundred Thirty.one C. O. Lindemann Edwin Kiefer THE TROUBLE SHOOTER “1 can fix it,” said “Red” the office boy, confidently, as he faced the exasperated office manager of the American Malted Wheat Company. Mr. Gilmore, the office manager, had arrived at his office determined to do a big day’s work and had pressed the push-button to summon his stenog- rapher. She had not come in, even after he had pressed the button several times. Then he had rushed angrily into the outer offices. The stenographers agreed that they had not heard the buzzer sound. “Well, then, it must be out of order. Send for an electrician,” said Mr. Gilmore to “Red.” It was then that “Red” had made his suggestion that he. himself, could fix it. “What do you know about electricity.” asked Mr. Gilmore. “Why, I wired up a bell in our house and one for the people upstairs.” “All right,” said Mr. Gilmore, “see what you can do.” Page Three Hundred Thirly-two THB i p20 EMF ——•— -— — “It’s fixed!” The red-headed office boy popped into Mr. Gilmore’s private office and suggested that he push the button. He did so and the buzzer sounded. “Red” had saved the day, and that same afternoon he was Mr. Gilmore’s guest at the ball game. “That was a fine ‘stall’ you made yesterday. What do you know about electricity,” “Jimmie” the multigraph boy sarcastically remarked the next morning. “Red” answered with pride, “Why, I’ve done a lot of electrical wiring. I’ve wired a bell in our home, I’ve fixed up the buzzers for the people who live upstairs, and I’ve fixed mv mother’s electric flat-iron. I know a lot about electricity. Now this job was different. “You see. Mr. Gilmore has two buzzers and I knew they must be wired the same way as the bells up at our house.” In a jiffy “Red” took out his pencil and roughly sketched the following diagram on a piece of paper: “Now the buzzers were connected up like this. All there is to know is that there is a complete circuit from the push-button to the buzzer and then to the battery and then back to the push-button, like this:” SHfS ) t • “That’s how 1 wired the bells at home,” “Red” continued, pointing to the diagram. “You see, by pressing the upper push-button it rings the bell upstairs and the lower one rings our bell. You see, Jimfinic, this is the way these offices are laid out:” w M Page Three Hundred Thirty-three ■ i • k =£4 fTffiE 192© EMF- ' ....._________—— “' “But, Mr. Gilmore has two push-buttons on his desk. There is a buzzer for the stenographers and a buzzer in the outer office too. The two circuits, then, look like this:” _____________________________CL E Rsr Fc srr-jBtfrroAf J30ZZEX N oaree Office un SECOND PVSH-eUTTON jBVZZER 1 STENOqEARNERS Room “Now, the first thing I did was to find out if the push-buttons were all right and the way I did that was to take a small wire and “cut-out” the push- buttons by connecting the wire to each side .of the push-buttons to furnish a path for the electricity to go around the push-buttons like this:” □ cur oar mres mi n_ “Then if the push-buttons are out of order, the buzzers will ring. Well, the buzzers didn’t ring, so I tested out the dry cells of the battery separately, leaving the push-buttons “shorted,” and I found the buzzers rang with two of the cells; one was “dead.” So I connected the two “live” cells together again (in scries) as I did at home and the buzzers rang. I then: removed the “jumper” across the push-buttons and asked Mr. Gilmore to try the buzzers. Well, Jimmie, you should have seen the look Mr. Gilmore gave me when they worked. He didn’t think 1 could lix the buzzers, but 1 showed him.” Page Three Hundred Thirty-four MY TESLA TRANSFORMER I o clay there is a broad field open for the experimenter in the study and development of the so-called High Frequency Curents. The transformer to produce these High Frequency Currents was invented by Xikola Tesla, but many young experimenters have successfully made one in their own shops. 1 myself have one of these coils, which I made from materials at hand in my shop. A picture of this coil is seen below. This Tesla coil, as it is called after its inventor, is perfectly harmless to thti body, except that if the spark jumps direct to your skin it will burn the flesh. The Tesla coil which 1 made is eighteen inches long, eight and one- half inches wide and twelve inches high. The secondary coil is eighteen inches long and five and one-half inches in diameter wound with number thirty-six silk covered copper magnet wire. The primary coil is eight and one half inches in diameter wound in eighteen turns of number eight copper wire. 'I'his Tesla coil will give a four-inch spark by using a one inch spark coil and a very small glass plate condenser. L use the one-inch spark coil on the light circuit of one hundred ten volts by means of an electrolytic interrupter which I made myself. 1 made all the apparatus used in my high frequency current experiments, which includes the interrupter, spark coil, glass plate condenser, spark gap and Tesla coil. In addition to these experiments 1 have experimented in wireless teleg- raphy and with the arc furnace. I have a small wireless outfit and an arc light, both of which I constructed mvself.

At the present date the department is in its infancy not being as yet on a working basis. During the Great World War which was just recently brought to a close ‘Radio’ advanced with great rapidity. It played one of the most important parts especially with the Naval forces. Large convoys of troop ships as well as merchant vessels carrying food and supplies to Europe were held together by this instrument. Mine warnings, dangerous areas where the U-boat lurked and other important information was sent broadcast daily or ‘as often as necessary by wireless to the many vessels at sea. The radio direction finder also proved its worth. By means of this in- strument the exact position of any ship could be determined. Its greatest value to vessels is when there is heavy fogs. During these blankets of haze it is impossible for the navigators to take observations. The wireless however finds its way to the various stations and the stations equipped with the ‘finder’ are able to telegraph the vessels correct longitude and latitude. Large fleets of air vessels are directed by means of this apparatus and by this means the aeroplane’s value was increased greatly as gun ranges could be varied in very short order. Besides its value in wartime and as a commercial agent radio is a great entertainer. The wireless telephone has been advanced remarkably and by this means concerts can be given. After the signing of the armistice and the air was once more free to a certain extent, several vessels were enroute to France. One of these ships carried a telephone outfit. Every night dur- ing the voyage across a concert was rendered lasting about one hour. The victrola which the “schack” had. would be placed near the transmitter and a record started. The music thus radiated would be picked up with great clearness, the concert generally ending with a song by the operators. With the closing of the war a great shortage of operators is being experi • enced and the demand is ever increasing. The radio department hopes in the very near future to be able to turn out some operators for the American merchant marine. The department hopes to be able to help fill these vacancies. We hope that by next year the radio department will be able to give a better account of itself and that we will be able to point out to a great progress. No generation of mankind has ever seen more marvelous things happen than we have seen in this present dav. Following each other in rapid suc- cession there came wireless telegraphy, radium and the X-ray and from the practical standpoint the invention of ‘wireless’ is by far the more interesting. Had a man entered the general post office or a telegraph office less than a century ago4 handed in a message for a friend on board a steamer far out to sea. the man would probably have been taken into custody and the sanity of the man might have been doubted. However such a thing is today very common and wireless messages may be transmitted across the Pacific or At- lantic ocean in very few seconds. 1 Page Three Hundred Thirty.eight .......- = « .

INFANTRY Captain Ristine graduated from Wabash College in 1899. receiving the degree A.B.; graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1903; and received the degee A.M. from Wabash College in 1909. Since leaving the Military Academy Captain Ristine has followed the military profession, serving in the infantry and performing the various duties incident to this and the various departments. The indoor and outdoor school room is the prominent feature of life in the Army and Captain Ristine is. in all but name, a teacher of many years’ experience. Just prior to. and during the early stages of the recent! World War he served as an instructor at the Army Service Schools at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Captain Ristine has had station in nearly every part of the world. He had five years of service in our foreign possessions, and served nearly one year as a Major in France. Page Three Hundred Forty C f i' •y i ..r K (§. ®. (E. After very careful inspection and consideration of the merits and possi- bilities of the School of Engineering of Milwaukee, and after the usual amount of crimson tape had been unwound, the war department of the United States of America finally decided to allow the aforesaid school to organize a unit of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. The war department also author- ized that Lieut. A. W. Priest, who served very efficiently as commanding officer in the S. A. T. C. unit here, be retained as the new Professor of Mili- tary Science and Tactics. The organization of the unit was left almost entirely in the hands of Prof. A. E. Kienth, who received the appointment of acting major in the Quartermaster Corps in the school. Due to the very efficient management and well known line of attack of Major Kienth the required number of men were soon recruited into the unit. Some of the most important arguments •used by Major Kienth are as follows; As members of the R. O. T. C. the men will have a chance to win commissions in the Officer’s Reserve Corps; after two years of service in the R. O. T. C. they will receive commutation for rations at the rate of 55 cents a day (which amounts to $16.50 a month); the use of a uniform; an opportunity of spending six weeks every year in a military camp under regular army instructors, and also receive splendid physi- cal exercise, which is very beneficial to all. In May 1919, Lieut. A. W. Priest handed in his resignation to the war department, and Major P� . F. Ristinc was ordered to report to the school as the new Professor of Military Science and Tactics. In due time, Major Ristine arrived and assumed the duties of his new office, and we are very glad to report that lie has handled the somewhat awkward situation very conscien- tiously and efficiently. Since Major Ristinc took charge of the military department, a great deal of advancement has ’been shown in the R. O. T. C. unit. During the summer andj fall term, those who could spare the time from their other duties were given target practice on the rifle range at South Milwaukee. At the begin- ning of the fall term some of the men were advanced to the second year course, which they found to be much more interesting, and they arc showing a great deal of progress. During the past winter we have been very seriously handicapped by the fact that we had no place where we could drill efficiently, but we made the best of a rather bad proposition, and distributed the companies among the classooms on the fifth floor of the Insurance Building, and fairly good progress was made during the months when inclement weather was in vogue. A regular Quartermaster’s Department has been organized, with head- quarters in the large vault in the basement, where all equipment is kept. In December. 1919, President O. W. Werwath gave a smoker for the offi- cers at the Fraternity House No. 2, at which time the commissions for the present school year were presented to the cadet officers by Capt. B. F. Ris- linc. Prof. Kienth presided as toastmaster, and a number of excellent speeches vere enjoyed by those present. Page Three Hundred Forty-one R. O. T. C. Smoker . Late in January, 1920, an R. O. T. C. smoker was held in Fraternity House No. 2. Much interest was developed by the competitive drills be- tween one squad from each of the four companies, and the individual com- petitive drill in the manual of arms. In the drill by squads Company A car- ried off first honors in both the infantry drill and the physical exercises. In the individual competitive drill in the manual of arms, Woellert, of Company C, carried off first honors, being hard pressed by Mayer, C, of Company 1). who won second place. But the event of the evening was a splendid talk by Major Henry Dunn, who served in the Signal Corps of the First Division, A. E. F. We were very glad to hear from a man who was with the first shipload of American troops that was landed in France. Many of the ex-service men will be interested in learning that there is now a bill before Congress granting them credit for their previous service, which will entitle them to receive the $16.50 per month immediately upon entering the R. O. T. C. As soon as this- bill is passed it is expected that a large number of such men will enroll in this department. On Feb. 11. 1920, the annual physical examination was held according to the new regulations, and we arc very sorry to learn that a number of men will have to be discharged. Just before going to press we are very glad to learn that, owing to the suggestion of Capt. Ristine, the officers of the school arc bending every effort to secure a shooting gallery for the benefit of the members of the unit. It is expected that a building suitable for this purpose will be secured within a very short time. Page Three Hundred Forty-two Company A, Senior Unit John L. Gordon .. Erwin C. Riebe .. Willie E.

In August, 1919, the Board of Directors of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers authorized the establishment of a student branch at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. The National organization is the larg- est of its kind in the world, and has about 10,000 enrolled members. On Edison Day, Oct. 21. 1919, an enthusiastic meeting was held in Room 157, when the School of Engineering branch was definitely organized. Dean John Ball, E. E., presided over this meeting at which the offi- cers were elected and the committees apointed for the coming year. A proposed set of by laws was submitted. With one or two minor corrections they were unanimously adopted as proposed. Short talks were given by Arthur Simon, Harrison Reid and Prof. Kartak, all members of the A. I. E. E. 'I'he meeting was attended by 122 students and 55 students were enrolled as charter members. Since then, the enrollment has been increased to 218. The first regular meeting under the auspices of the S. O. E. branch of the A. 1. E. E. was held in Room 48 of the Insurance Building on Nov. 21. when all attendance records for such gatherings were broken. Two hundred and forty-one attended the meeting of whom nearly 100 were enrolled students Chairman John D. Ball presided and introduced the speaker of the even- ing, Mr. W. M. White, president of the Engineering Society of Milwaukee, K''. and consulting engineer of the Allis-Chalmers Co. Mr. White gave an exceptionally fine lecture on Hydro electric develop- ments in America and his talk proved immensely interesting to all present. Over 50 applications for membership, were received at this meeting, which was a great success in every way. The second meeting of the new branch , organization was held on the evening of Dec. 17th at the new Fraternity House on East Water street, and was in the form of a smoker. Mr. 1.. If. Olsen, general manager of the American Appraisal Co., gave a very instructive talk on “Appraisals and Valuations to a large audience. The third and latest meeting was held on the evening of Jan. 23 at the new Fraternity House. Although a stormy evening, a good sized audience turned out to hear Mr. C. G. Post deliver a talk on Modern Systems of Trans- mission and Distribution of Electric Power. Mr. Post is connected with ’the T. M. E. R. L. Co., and is exceptionally well acquainted with the subject from personal experience. Numerous questions were asked by the members present and a few re- marks on the subject were made by ex-dean Ball who presided at the meet- ing and by Prof. F. A. Vaughn. The importance of the A. I. E. E. in the development of the electrical industry cannot be over-estimated. The great number of progressive socie- ties in different parts of the country, the untiring and unselfish efforts on the part of prominent individual members has resulted in a steady advancement of electrical applications to their present stage. | hi Page Three Hundred Fifty-one JC f ' S=C-?HE 1192© EMF' 7- The industry is now indispensable for the welfare and comfort of the people in all the civilized world. Much still remains to be accomplished and developed however, and the student engineer of today will play a large part in the achievements of the future. The possibilities which arc before us are practically unlimited, and who knows that but some of our own student mem- bers of today will be destined to make discoveries and developments which will cause the wildest dreams of Jules Verne to pale into insignificance. The average student does not realize the honor and privilege of becom- ing identified with the A. I. E. E., but it is hoped that eventually, every stu- dent will become interested and help to make this branch the most enthusias- tic and successful of its kind in the country. New applications arc received from day to day and the following is a list of the enrolled students to date: One hundred and twenty-one students have been enrolled ’but 20 have severed their connections with the school since enrolling, leaving 101 active members at the school at the present time.

Page Three r M8 THE 1920 EHF; •.'S' ' -------X ' OJItp tEU'rlrnti'dntiral (Elub Organization On the 5th clay of November in the year of our Lord, 1919, the Electro- technical Club was organized. Remember this date, everybody, because the organization of this club is the greatest event that has occurred since that memorable day, that we all know so well. July 4, 1492, the day that Hannibal crossed the Delaware and attacked the Greeks at the Alamo. The afore-mentioned meeting took place in Room 73 of the Insurance Building at 7:30 p. m. and 23 students were present. The chairman, Mr. Bauer, called the meeting to order. Mr. J. E. Hughes executed the opening address. He explained the purpose of the meeting, the need of a technical club in the department, and he helped us to get started on the rock .• way. Officers were elected and a Constitution and By-Laws which had been pre- pared by a special committee were read, amended and adopted. The charter of the club was drawn up, all those present affixed their John Hancocks and PRESTO—The Electrotechnical club was ushered out into the unsuspect- ing world. The purpose of this society is to create a broader knowledge of technical subjects, to promote the general welfare of the students of the elccrotechni- cal department, to give training, a much needed training, in public speaking, and to interchange practical knowledge and experience to the benefit of all. At every meeting interesting technical subjects are discussed (both with and without the ‘dis’). Members of the society arc called on to give talks on the subjects with which they are most familiar or on the ‘line’ that they can ‘spiel’ on best. It has been suggested to call in outside speakers but such good material has been found among the members that it has not been neces- sary as yet. Illustrated lectures will be a feature of this year’s meetings. It has been found that slides can be obtained from the advertising departments of different large manufacturing concerns such as the General Electrical Com- pany. free of charge and with the aid of the school’s stereoptican machine many interesting programs can and will be prepared. It is the intention of the society to make tours to the different power houses and industrial plants in and about the city under the personal supervision and guidance of our faculty advisor Mr. Hughes. Another subject that occupies considerable of our attention is the Einstein Theory. According to Mr. Einstein, the noted scientist and astronomer, this universe of ours is limited instead of unlimited as had been heretofore the pop- ular belief. If a body is imagined moving in space, according to physics, that body will continue to move in a straight line forever and ever, that is, if no external forces such as gravity affect its motion. But along comes Mr. Einstein and explodes our nice little theory or rather he tries to. He states that the body will not travel in a straight line but in a perfect curve, and eventuallv it will in its course of motion return to its starting point or the position in space that we imagined it to start from. If this is true and space is limited it rather upsets everything. If Mr. Einstein is correct, what is outside of the Universe? It is rather hard to conceive, but I have faith in the Electrotechnical club’s ability to solve this pressing question. As yet Mr. Einstein and his partners in crime have not called upon us for our as- sistance. but. perhaps he has not heard of us as yet. Give him time. You can’t expect him to know everything. 1 I.- Page Three Hundred Fifty-four THE MEMBERS Conrad Bauer, President...............................Sugar City, Idaho Edmond Webb, Vice President............................New York, N.

But before I close this lecture 1 shall be glad to answer any question that may appear to need clearing up, or that I may have overlooked.” There was silence for a few minutes and then an anxious looking man in the rear of the hall arose, “I would take it as a personal favor,” he said, “if you would tell me whether science has produced as yet any sure and reliable cure for warts?” Ye EjccTro-hehmeaI Club The. «SeC- The MecTind IV'll ComZ To Ordcrll.

In order that the student may appreciate and avail himself of the advan- tages for his physical betterment it is but natural that he be given a vital interest in the athletics of his school, that he be given an active part in the promoting and forwarding of the athletic policy of the institution of which he s a part. Such interest begets enthusiasm and enthusiasm is the very es- 2 sence of success in any field of endeavor. With the above points in mind the School of Engineering of Milwaukee decided last October, 1919, that the time was ripe for the formation of an Athletic Association in order to place our athletics on a high plane and to develop a clean, strong backing among the student body by making them personally responsible and giving them voice in the development of S. O. E. athletic policies through their class representative. Accordingly a meeting was called October, 1919. consisting of a member from each class of College of Engineering, School of Elcctrotechnics and School of Drafting. Mr. Castleman, Mr. Stevens and Mr. Chamberlain were present as representatives of the faculty. The project was discussed at length and the ideas offered were carefully weighed and approved or dis- carded. Then a committee was elected and empowered to draft a constitution and by-laws and report ten days later. Mr. Havlick acted as chairman. At the time set. the same body met again and presented a constitution and by-laws which, after much discussion, were accepted as amended. This constitution is known as the Constitution of the Athletic Association of the S. O. E. of Milwaukee whose object it is to provide for a representative body consisting of one student from each of the classes of the various schools, to be elected by his fellow classmates, to serve a term of one year to represent his class in all its athletic activities. These members from the classes sitting in regular meeting shall elect from their number a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer, and sergeant at arms of the Athletic association, whose terms shall begin on the second Friday of November and shall continue for one year thereafter. This body shall have power to formulate the athletic policy of the school and will use such methods as they deem expedient to create a healthy en- thusiasm and interest among the student body. The association has handled the financing of a very .successful football season, has presented the team with highest grade sweaters, has given a very delightful football dance and reception and is now working hard to make the basketball season of 1920 a big one. Much credit is due the student officers of the association for their earnest efforts in making the athletics of our school a success. The ideal they have set is a high one. One hundred per cent enthusiasm. “Every student a member and a booster” is their aim. S. O. E.’s athletic star cannot help but rise high and be visible from dis- tant parts. 4 h M tw Page Three Hundred Sixty w =£%!_ -THE i920 EMF i::y ' r C. B. Wright J. S. Marshall J. P. McCarthy S. F.

Quite the biggest meeting this year was that of the Athletic Association Tuesday night, Jan. 27. They had a good crowd and they had a good time. President Joseph Havlick presided. He threw pep into the assembly and showed himself a live fellow heading a live organization. Students Athletic Manager A. D. Horne was strongly in evidence and threw off the air of mystery and diplomacy that usually envelopes him and Mac. (Quite neces- sary in up-to-date athletic circles, ye know.) Treasurer Lee. Athletic Manager Horne and various others made ripping addresses and then came the presentation of sweaters to the heroes of 1919. Elegant sweaters they were too—thick and downy, pure white, with a big red “E” on the breast. Each recipient had to make a speech or sing a song. And each had to wear his sweater. Coach MacC'ormick was nearly bowled off his pins when he was added to the list of those who were given sweaters. The list of recipients is: Wright, Captain; Grosso. Cento. Norcott, Fulton. Rerucha. Vaughn. Eggers, Hall, Schroeder, Poling, Breitkrutz, Smalley, Belson and Rankin. Manager Horne received a manager’s letter. Page Three Hundred Sixty-two m :ZZ' T r,i k fi kf THE 1920 E THE ATHLETIC YEAR. The athletic teams of the School of Engineering have set a record that any school may be proud of. This, being the initial year of athletics at S. O. E. It has set a mark that future teams will try to attain. At the beginning of the year of 1919, the school authorities obtained the services of E. J. McCormick, well liked by the students who know him, and highly qualified for the position he now holds. He was greatly hindered by the lack of equipment and proper facilities to practice. President O. W. YVerwath and the school faculty saw the ob- stacles and need of athletics among the students, and were kind enough to help along, by obtaining some equipment for the students’ use. It was only a short time before the baseball team was on its way. They put up with difficulties, but encouraged by the backing of the students and officers, bucked away and came out of the season with only one loss, that being the first game of the season. The track team had not been developed, but men with the right spirit were daily training for coming events. The only meet participated in during the season, was the three mile Journal marathon. Many runners of fame were entered but the spirit of S. O. E. again brought our men in victorious. In the late fall a few football men again responded to the call of the coach. They toiled and worked to build a team of the material they had. Their heart was in the work and the spirit of S. O. E. was again behind them. Look what they accomplished. They obtained wonderful results for the first football team that S. O. E. ever had. And now the basketball team which S. O. E. is boosting is out to set other records as our other teams have done. They have broken into the lime- light and will push S. O. E. into the light of the sport world before the season is over. The school has always spoken about the number of different states and countries its students are from. The athletic teams also have a reason to boast of their squads. In baseball, seventeen men that were out at one time were from thirteen different states. This illustrates how the student body is brought from a wide territory. In athletics this year we had a man from the most eastern state in the states. Maine, the most western. Oregon, the most northern. Minnesota, the most southern, Texas; from the hills of Tennessee; from the plains of North Dakota. From the city of San Fran- cisco; from the town of New Holstein and from the farms of Nebraska: all were in the melting pot of Milwaukee, the School of Engineering. The 1919 football season could justly be called a successful season, in- asmuch as the team won the majority of games played, but being the first year’s participation in this branch of athletics, the handicaps were too great to be overcome in two months playing. A lack of enough men to form two squads for real scrimmaging, combined with a lack of knowledge of Coach Mc- Cormick’s methods and plays, drawbacks last fall, will not be the handicaps for this coming season, because practically every man on last year’s squad, together with a lot of promising football material, enrolled this term, will be out in uniforms the first of October. Looked at from any angle, the 1920 football team is going to be a win- ning team and one that every engineer will be ready and proud to support. Page Three Hundred Sixty-three Q°Pcn tffhle+ic E.E.

BANQUET One of the doings pulled off by the Athletic Association, took place on I January 27. 1920. at the Frat Cafeteria on East Water street and judging by 5 all comments passed it was one grand and glorious success. It was one great event and the way the affair was pulled, was enough I for any one to imbibe enough school spirit and pep to last at least a good season. Everyone present was inspired with the spirit of the evening and it made a few other affairs look tame. But all this was only a mere beginning to the real doings. The presenta- tion of sweaters, with our insigna “E” to the fellows who did their share to put the old S. O. E. on the map, that the main doings. The work of presentation to the men who played on the “grid.” our men of battle, was very fitting and proper. It might be said here that every man who turned out deserved a sweater for the hard work put in, but custom says, “team men,” and thus some were just out of luck. Capt. Wright, Grosso, Cento. Norcott, Rerucha, Vaughn. Eggers, Hall. Schroeder, Poling. Breitkru ., Smalle •, Belson and Rankin were the fellows who walked off with the honors. Horne received the “E” and Mac was sure taken unawares when his sweater was bestowed upon him, special delivery. Upon receipt of each “E” a speech was in order. Those who were speech- less, sang or whistled. The re-election of Wright for Captain for the next season, was followed by well played selections by the band. The eats were then in order and were done away with in no slow fashion. Music, singing and jigging held sway for some time and then the hours of a good old time came to an end. Page Three Hundred Sixty-six Page Three Hundred Sixty-seven 5 M § THE 1920 EMF- — IFnnthall w ___ Coincident with the thought of college is that of football. The two have become inseparably joined together in the college life as only Americans know it. Few people pause to think what the football status of a school has to do with its popularity as an educational institution and yet it is a true and wcllknown fact that hardly a school or college of importance can be named without bringing to men its accomplishments on the athletic field, and more especially on the football gridiron ; in other words its position as a center of learning is judged by its athletic achievements. The United States is known by the progress of its well developed ath- letics. Its commercial ventures are backed by real men who learned to buckle real problems in the athletic field. Its college and universities are world famed because of the co-ordination of athletics and learning, learned men realizing that a man trained to the battles of the grid iron will make, equally good when put to the task of mental exercise or wrestling with prob- lems of the arts and sciences, thus co-ordinating the functions of the mind and body. When a boy has decided to go to a college or university and is choosing a school, he is unconsciously guided in making his choice by his previous knowledge of its athletic progress. He is naturally most impressed by the football record because this is the pre-eminent sport both in preparatory and high schools as well as colleges and universities. An American boy is more or less abnormal if he does not follow athletics and more especially football. He is not necessarily a player of note but if he has attended any preparatory school, he has that unborn sport spirit, like to that of a person’s patriotism, which makes him want to see his school “team.” his team triumph over all. Football is the major college sport because it combines nerve or in the vernacular of the field, grit and science. It is the .supreme co-ordination of the beautiful workings of the mind and body. One cannot work without the other. They must co-ordinate and the victorious team is not one which has eleven individual stars but rather one whose work was the co-ordinations of the perfect workings of the minds and bodies of eleven men, alert, their body trained to function and perform at the direction of the mind, all work- ing under the direction and guidance of one man’s brain. In newspaper accounts the “stars” names are alwavs mentioned. This in many cases is an injustice to the team as a whole, for seldom is it that one man can accomplish much without the co-operation and team work of his mates. Of course there is room for individual display of nerve, daring and a wide-awake mind. On the whole, however, the work is characterized by smooth, uniform action, the play carried out with clockwork precision like a well oiled machine, which in fact is what it amounts to. Football is all alluring; those that talk against it do not realize the beauty of the sport. That is its inherent characteristic. It offers chance for cunning, for the mind to show ascendancy ; it gives opportunity for well thought-out plavs, the chance to pick out the minute flaws in the opposite team and hammer away at it, so weakening the defense that all crumbles before the attack of a master mind. The old time football was a game where Page Three Hundred Sixty-eight TJBE 1920 ElMF ' zy weight was the major factor. Today it is the science of the game, the minds of one team pitted against those of the other; and therein lies the secret of football, the reason it always is so attractive, why crowds go wild and why the newspapers make the games a head line topic. You seldom read in bold print of a debating team’s victory, not that it does not deserve it but rather because it does not offer the wild field of competition that the sport of football holds out. Two hundred candidates may try for positions; there is only room for twenty-two and yet every one whether he wins a berth and the coveted monogram or not, feels elated because of the sheer joy of the sport. Me knows he has received a training that cannot be purchased. He has grounded himself in being alert, quick to perceive any changes in conditions, to depend upon himself in any emergency, or in other words, self confidence and nerve. All his faculties are developed and brought up to that high state of perfection, where the mind can conceive and learn with the maximum efficiency. To conclude, it may be said that football is the major sport because of its opportunities, because it always offers room for improvement, because if played in a clean manner, as it should be, it is not as rough as many other sports and offers that rare exhibition where a clean mind in a clean body is what counts in a game where it is mind against mind, team work against team work and where the best team wins. Only a few knew that every day for three months last fall, a little band of some twenty fellows could be found on the football campus from three o’clock until six. That little band was made up of fellows that have dark Red American blood trickling through their veins. Every day regardless of weather conditions found the same troupe of warriors on the field. The snow and mud that covered the field for weeks at a time only acted as a stimulant for vigorous action on the part of the boys and a muddy uniform made no great difference in the day’s program. It was cold out on the old field but lots of peppy work counteracted the biting wind. And when punting, run- ning and hitting the dummy failed to keep the boys warm, Mac. would let them mix in the good old football way. “Scrimmage,” Ah! that was a word that acted like magic. When Mac. said, “Boys, we will scrimmage tomorrow,” you could bet your last nickel that every man would report on the field at the appointed hour. Captain Wright and his boys went through a hard season of training. It must be remembered that training is not interesting and pleasing at all times. But men, with the genuine football spirit, that was displayed by our boys last fall, work for the real joy of this game, which is classed as the greatest American sport and can be relied upon as a test for real men. It is very encouraging to know that we will have all of the fellows back next year to act as a foundation for a strong team, and with the abundance of new material, we will be in a position to compete with the best schools in the country. 1 Page Three Hundred Sixty-nine •e Shorty gives the boys some dope.

LAKE FOREST ACADEMY On November 15, the School of Engineering met and won from Lake Forest Academy team. The final score being 28 to 7. At no stage of the game was Lake Forest able to hold the Engineers. They worked up and down the field at will, and, although Lake Forest fought their hardest and put up a scrappy game, the Engineers outplayed them at every point. In the first quarter they moved up the field for a touchdown by Grosso, but failed to kick goal. In the second quarter the Engineers continued to push Lake Forest boys steadily down the field. They were held on their 2-yard line. Lake Forest got the ball but was taken back for safety. In the third quarter the Engineers made a touchdown and a goal kick, the honors going to Wright for the touchdown and for the kick to Rankin. At the end of the third quarter the score was 22 to 0, owing to Wright making another touchdown. In the fourth quarter Wright added another touchdown to the Engineers score, but failed to kick goal and their score remained 28. Close to the end of the last quarter Lake Forest obtained a touchdown by a sensational run by Bond and also a goal kick. There was a large crowd to yell for S. O.

The only game played outside of Milwaukee last fall, was at Culver, Ind.. against Culver Military Academy, on October 22. It was our first game of the season and for some of the members of the team, their initial appear- ance on the gridiron. The team, Coach McCormick and Athletic Manager Horne left Milwaukee Friday morning. October 21. and after a nine hours ride arrived at Culver, where we were met by the Academy's Athletic Officer, who took us to the Palmer House, our quarters during our stay as the Academy’s guests. After a fine dinner, the evening was spent at the Y. M. C. A., where everyone enjoyed the use of the several billiard tables and the piano. Saturday morning was spent in a walk to the athletic field and an in- spection of the Academy grounds and buildings. The game was called at 2:30. Culver had. on the field, nearly sixty men in suits ready to play and after the first quarter sent in fresh men every few minutes, so that we were playing a comparatively fresh team throughout the hour. The team, green and inexperienced, and playing a school with a foot- ball reputation of several years standing, did the best it could, but that was not enough to prevent the soldiers from running up a large score against us. As soon as we were ready to leave, cars took us up to Plymouth, where we caught the Pennsylvania train for Chicago and then on to Milwaukee, arriving home early Sunday morning. Barring the game the trip was the best ever. Going down, there was a close race between Norcott and Eckhart to see who could get acquainted with the greatest number of the fair sex. but this was declared won by Eckhart, who was fortunate enough to capture the smiles of a young lady of decidedly Swedish descent, who boarded the train at Gary. During the game the aggressiveness of Grosso, our quarterback, and his methods of tackling Cul- ver’s heaviest men brought comments from the sidelines. It was after the game though, that Gentili gave out the information that the timekeeper had used a watch, which he could, and did stop at frequent intervals and which might have prevented 11s from .scoring. Having never seen one before, it took considerable explanation to convince Gentili that a stop watch was a legiti- mate and very necessary instrument for a timekeeper to use. Practically every member of the team returned home somewhat stiff and sore but with the highest regard for the soldiers, both for the game they played and the way they treated us. It was a trip that we will remember with pleasure, and should we get a return game with the Academy, as we all hope to. we will surely try to give them as fine a time as we experienced at their hands. Iff ----- --- Page Three Hundred Seventy-nine Page Three Hundred Eighty WAYLAND ACADEMY VS. S. O. E. In a game replete with thrills, the School of Engineering football team de- feated the plucky Wayland Academy eleven, 13 to 7. Wayland fought a good game, and threw a scare into the Engineers in the last half, when they were held on the Engineers' 3-yard line. The game started with the Engineers receiving. For several minutes the ball see-sawed back and forth in the middle of the field. Then Newton, of Wayland, tore off a 30-yard run around left end, placing the ball on the Engi- neers' 20-yard line. On the next play Johnson, with perfect interference, skirted the same end for a touchdown. Johnson kicked goal. The quarter ended with the ball in the center of the field. The second quarter proved disastrous for the boys from Beaver Dam. The Engineers, after having intercepted a Wayland forward pass, tore through the Wayland line again and again. After Wright had placed the ball on the Wayland 20-yard line with a pretty 15-yard run. Rankin tore through right tackle for the remaining distance, kicking goal after the touchdown. Wayland, receiving the kick-off, was forced to punt, and when Grossq of the Engineers missed the kick, it was recovered by Wayland. With the ball within striking distance of the goal, the Engineers’ line proved a stone wall and Johnson was forced to try a drop kick, which was successful. The Engineers, with the ball on their 20-yard line, commenced a steady march up the field. Time and again Rankin and Wright tore through for gains of 15 and 20 yards,, until finally Wright went through tackle for the second Engineer score. Goal kick was missed. The summary: S. O. E.

Although hindered by the lack of equipment and a place to play, the bo;, s worked hard and steady. The only place avail- able was the lake shore lot's near the Northwestern depot. The condition of the strip of land was none too good for practice, to say nothing of playing a game there. Another handicap was the fact that the entire squad of men was new at college baseball. This being the first year of athletics at the school, it was necessary to organize and build its team out of new men of whose ability nothing was known. All these uncertainties caused continual changing and reconstruction of the team. Men were tried out at various positions and placed where best fitted. Many men were new and had never participated in a game. Kochanek and Gray were the only pitchers that responded to the call. Brackett and Marshall were tried at the plate while Schroeder, who had never played in a game of ball, took first and held the position the rest of the season. After the season’s start other men came out. Norman obtained a berth at short, while Reynolds held second. The initial game of the season occurred April 26th with the Milwaukee Normal at Washington Park, the Normal winning the contest. We then journeyed to St. Francis and took Pio Nona for an easy vic- tory. The next trip was to the Military Academy at Delafield. Though St. Johns had a great team, we squeezed out a victory. On May 24. the S. O. E. defeated Racine College on their field at Racine, in a shutout game. The last game of the season occurred on June 3rd at Whitewater. The Whitewater Normal with a very good team, were finally defeated by a close score. The outcome of the season was very bright for the initial year. It did not take Coach McCormick long to whip what material he had into a win- ning team. With the loss of only one man the outlook for next season is fine and we expect from the S. O. E. a record to be proud of before the season closes.

His left arm won the most important games of the past season, and will help make the coming season a success. Page Three Hundred Eighty-six z M THE 1920 EMF- 8� S. O. E. VS. MILWAUKEE NORMAL The only home game played by the S. O. E. baseball team last season, was played against the Milwaukee State Normal School at Washington park. This was the first game of the season and the first game that some players of the S. O. E. nine had ever participated in. At first they were a little weary but soon buckled down and played a hard game. The diamond was better than they had been accustomed to, as all of the practice had taken place on the filled in strip of land of Juneau park, or the old drill grounds near the Northwestern depot. The game was exciting from start to finish. The Engineers were unable to hit the ball at the right moment, so did not succeed in pulling a run across the rubber during the game. The Normal team crossed it six times. This defeat was a good thing in one way, for the team, as they buckled down and worked harder and harder each day so that they might bring back victory. It also inspired the rooters, as they saw the possibilities of a good team and knew they needed support. From then on the team received the best of support, which helped to bring it to the front as a winner. S. O. E. VS. PIO NONA COLLEGE The Engineers, after brushing up with their loss to the Normal, took the T. M. E. R. L. interurban to St. Francis to play Pio Nona College May 3rd. It was a short trip and the team was accompanied by the same rooters that had been backing it. Grey pitched for the Engineers, obtaining twelve strike outs. The game was very good from every standpoint, except that of Pio Nona's, for they thought we were getting too many scores. Schroeder was the heavy boy on the stick that (lav. but all seemed able to find the pitchers as soon as they were changed. It was an easy game and our joyous rooters brought back a score of 13 to 5. S. O. E. VS. ST. JOHNS May 17 found Our Engineers again on the upward path. It was sure a hot game, fought every minute and not settled until it was over. About one hundred accompanied the team on their trip to Delafield. It was a jolly bunch and they put into the team the pep that won the day. Many a girl along the way fell for the cry, “Ain’t she a la la.” “Ah!” Just ask the crowd that raised the dust. Even the conductor tried to leave us behind on account of our noise, but soon smoked the peace pipe when some of the warriors .showed signs of battle. When the crowd arrived at their destination, they were met by a cadet, who showed them the path to the buildings and field and showed the team to the dressing rooms. Soon the team was out in their togs. Just before the royal battle, a dress parade was held by the cadets, after which the cadet team came to conquer S. O. E. with their military science and tactics. This proved a failure. Koch an Ck pitched for the Engineers and obtained eleven strikeouts. It was a hard fought game. St. Johns being always a little ahead of our men. At the end of the eighth, St. Johns were ahead four to three. The be- ginning of the ninth looked good for the team. They were starting to fill the bases but alas they were caught. Two men out and the batter two strikes ! aw Page Three Hundred Eighty-seven 0w , r � � i ? % 2 a THE 1920 eMF; ZZ' M' ''' Even Levenson starts to pack the bats but the next moment is pulling them out of the bag. The batter has connected and they have fumbled which makes him safe at first. The next man safely makes a hit and the runner goes to third. The next man makes a hit after the runner at first reached second, which brings in the two winning runs. The next was out but it gave us a five to four lead. St. Johns tried hard to make a run but was unable to get past second. Oh, but it was exciting, but the question which took the boys after the game, was where Levenson with his broken bat had gone in such a short time. The last that was seen of him, he was on the other side of the dust between the St. Johns cadets and him, going full sped for the T. M. E. R. L. station. S. O. E. VS. WHITEWATER NORMAL The last game of the season took place on the Hamilton field at White- water Normal, Tuesday, June 3rd. They had one of the strongest teams in the state and suffered only one defeat previous to our game. Kochanek, the southpaw twirler for the Engineers, held the Whitewater boys to 4 hits and walked 3 men, and several times caught the Normal play- ers in a too big lead off first base, thus holding them on the bag on every delivery. Reynolds, the little second baseman for the Engineers, ruined Whitewater’s chances for scoring in the seventh inning when lie caught their man on second sleeping. Horne of the Engineers, used the stick to good ad- vantage and helped S. O. E. on the running game. All the boys worked well, but it was hard for Schroeder to keep his mind on his playing, for he was over near the Normal girl's bleacher. But who could help it. who could help working his hardest to show the girls what sort of fellows they had with them at the Normal. And the Engineers-sure did for they brought the goat back with three to two as the price mark. The Normal put up a good scrappy game and took defeat like good sports. Thus the first year of baseball at S. O. E. came to an end, the team having been defeated only once and setting a record that future teams will try to attain. Line-up of teams: S. O. E.

RACINE COLLEGE May 24th the Engineers journeyed to Racine to play Racine College. The team expected a light but for some reason the game was put on ice in a few minutes. Racine obtained a high school star to throw for them, but for a time the baseball was a star in the heavens for him. so he was replaced near the end of the game. Gray twirled the game for the Engineers and did not allow very many hits, lie held them close to the bases, thereby holding them scoreless. Kochanek at second, Norman at short and Schroeder at first played a great fielding game and proved the team could go up against any college in the state. The Engineers carried the bag of 12 to 0 home for themselves and were ready for Whitewater the next week. Edgar J. Schroeder. The man from Merrill, Wis., who had never played the game before, pulled them out of the air bare handed with no difficulty. Olaf Norman, Capt.-elect.

PLANS FOR A NATIONAL FRATERNITY UNDERWAY The Phi Delta Omega Fraternity of the School of Engineering is at present only a local organization, having for its fundamental purpose the promotion of good fellowship among the men of the .school. However, the members who are constantly striving higher, feel that more interest will be manifested if the local organization can become a branch of some national fraternity. Plans are now underway towards such a step. Naturally, much preliminary work must be done before nationalization can actually be ac- complished, because the fraternity must show the national organizations that it is a society worthy of such recognition. Now it is up to every member of the fraternity to do his best toward putting the society where it belongs among other college fraternities. MEMBERSHIP DRIVE The annual membership drive of the Phi Delta Omega fraternity took placc during the months of January and February. Prior to the opening of the drive, a “pep” meeting was held at the fraternity house in order to make plans for the work. A number of new students attended the meeting and gained considerable encouragement from the enthusiastic talks given by the “old timers.” Paul F. Neess was appointed chairman of the membership committee and carried on his drive among the classes by appointing one member of each class, captain. This captain was responsible for making the class one hun- dred per cent Phi Delta Omega. There were also some captains at large, who made it a point to get members in the school regardless of class. Chairman Neess also installed an application card system which facilitates the work of the committee in so far as the names of the applicants are con- ccrncd. j i Ihe initiation of new members, which was scheduled to take place Fri- day evening, February 13, was postponed to some later date. At the time that this went to press, the new date had not been decided upon. Page Four Hundred Eleven Page Four Hundred Thirteen 0 ¥k V’ M ' { a ’THE 4920 EMF' —-•• . y, ,., ' ■ ' PRESIDENT WERWATH’S PICNIC One day in June, a notice was circulated among: the faculty and the members of the organization, to the effect that President and Mrs. Wcr- wath were inviting the entire staff to attend a house warming and picnic at their new summer home at Little Cedar on July 6th. The notice also stated that transportation would be provided for everyone. Everyone looked forward with enthusiasm to July 6th and when the day finally arrived all were ready for what the day would bring. It was de- cided that the school would be the best meeting place and there it was that the fifteen machines waited for their passengers. The parade of automobiles started about 9:30 in the morning and without any more serious mishaps than a few blow-outs and dry oil pans the party arrived at its destination about twelve o’clock. On the picnic grounds there were amusements to satisfy every tempera- ment. There was swimming, rowing, dancing and games. At one o’clock the crowd, which was distributed over the entire grounds, was called to- gether for lunch and no one hesitated about going to the outdoor dining room where Mother Cassidy and her able staff presided. It goes without saying that the lunch was excellent and there was enough to satisfy the heartiest appetite. After lunch, those of the children who were old enough to dispense with the customary afternoon nap, organized a parade under the direction of Mr. Hartman and Miss Shapiro. They donned fancy caps and marched around the grounds to the beats of the School of Engineering drum. When the parade had tired them out they decided to play games and in this way amused themselves for the major part of the afternoon. The older members of the party swam, rowed or danced, each to his or her own liking and when supper time came they had exercised enough to be ready for another good meal. About seven-thirty the party began to break up and anyone who did not have a good time can blame only himself. President and Mrs. Werwath are to be congratulated upon the success of their party and the entire staff joins in thanking them for the splendid time they had as their guests.

The dance was primarily for the purpose of introducing the freshmen to the other men of the school, but, as sometimes happens, the guests of honor did not arrive. With the exception of a very few, those who attended the dance were upper classmen. The absence of the freshmen, al- though regretted, did not tend to dampen the spirits of those who were there, and the dance proved very successful from the standpoint of a good time. The Chaperones of the party were: Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hartman, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Vaughn, and Captain Ristine. Gerber’s orchestra furnished the music. SECOND ANNUAL CARNIVAL DANCE The second annual carnival dance of the fraternity took place at the Milwaukee Athletic Club on January 30, 1920. The customary confetti and colored ribbon streamers were very much in evidence and those who did not get “filled” with confetti were fortunate, because there was enough there for an entire city to properly celebrate New Year’s Eve. The sedate members of the faculty were not even exempt from the confetti war that was waged and in order to protect themselves had to enter into the scrap. The Metropolitan Dance Orchestra of which Edward Rogers, Term 9. is a member, furnished splendid music for the dancing and when the music stopped at twelve o’clock there wasn’t a person in the hall who hadn’t thor- oughly enjoyed the evening. The following faculty members attended: Mr. Hartman. Mr. Kicnth, Mr. Koch, and Miss Shapiro. 1 i M ill i iff n Page Four Hundred Sixteen Page Four Hundred Seventeen Page F� ur Hundred Eighteen wzk %t. HE 492© EMff g’dutnl of Engineering $. UK. 0L A. F.

It occurred to some of the students in the School of Engineering that some organization was needed in the school that could promote school spirit and good fellowship between all men and all departments. The different or- ganizations were very fine as far as they went, but they only brought the men of these respective organizations together. Some organization was badly needed which would tend to develop the social activities of the school, thus bringing the students together more enmassc. so a few of the students of the different departments got together and petitioned the City Y. M. C. A. to install a student branch office here in school. Needless to say they met with the hearty co-operation and ready response of the above mentioned or- ganization. and found the members of the faculty and the student body en- thusiastic and ready to back the movement. The first meeting was held at the City Y. M. C. A. December 11. 1919. Ten of the most active fellows in the different departments sat down to a well prepared feed, after which Mr. Ray V. Sowers explained thoroughly the organized activities of the different colleges in the state. After this the men discussed the proposition of such an organization in the S. O. E. and the meeting closed with everybody feeling very hopeful that the Y” would be very soon an established fact here. Several meetings followed. At one of the meetings the constitution was adopted. At another meeting a written request was signed by those preesnt asking the state board of the Y. M. C. A. to station a permanent secretary here, making a special request for Mr. F. F. Snow. At the last meeting held February 12, at Frat. No. 2. officers were elected, and Mr. Snow was presented to the bunch. On Saturday, February 14. the advisory board, which was elected to serve by the students who have shown interest in the organization, met at Frat. No. 2 having a light luncheon and arranged the future home of the “Y” here. Page Four Hundred Nineteen -THE i920 EMF 64 rl f? CHARTER MEMBERS F. A. Ericsson, (Pres.) C. R. Stanelle, (V. Pres.) E. C.

A. within the school, the students of the School of Engineering recently made a request to the Board of Di- rectors of the Milwaukee Association for a student secretary to help them to establish such an organization. The city association has been most fortunate in securing in the person of Frederick Foster Snow, a man who is ideally fitted for this work. Mr. Snow, after graduating in 1906 from the College of Music at Syracuse Uni- versity, spent two years of advanced study in Italy. Returning to this coun- try in 1909, he won a strong reputation as director of music in Boston, New York and Cumberland, Maryland. When the war broke out, Mr. Snow was called to Camp Custer where he served for six months as director of entertainment. Because of his splendid success in this work, he was sent early in 1918 to Italy to organize similar work for the Italian Armies. On his way, when about a day out of Holly- head, Wales, the Oransa on which he sailed, was torpedoed and sank in twelve minutes. Later he reached London and Paris, at the time when the air raids were at their height, finally arriving at Genoa, where the first three months were spent with the American army. For his valiant service during the Italian offensive on the Piave, Mr. Snow was awarded the Italian War Cross and was recommended for the Cavalicre Corona D’ltalia. He also received the personal commendation of the Minister of War. Since the Armistice, through his untiring energy and skillful organization, in spite of the unfavorable feeling toward America, he has won a strong place in the hearts of the Italian soldiers. In speaking of his success, one of the officers writes: “Mr. Snow’s relations with the army commands in all the posts of the Milan territory have been ideal. The programs he has brought to the army have been excelled by none in Italy and the response has been exceptional.” Another writes, “His faithful efforts in the Milan region for the past eighteen months especially stands out as one of the bright spots in the work of entertaining the soldiers.” Mr. Snow is a member of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity.

That history begins in the past .summer. You see there was a publication called Electroforce that was devoted to the school. It was a mixture of the Scientific American, the North American Review, the Boy’s Weekly, Mercury and the Christian Herald. The School of Engineering authorities held a meeting and decided to reduce its aims a little and change its form. In other words to make it over intb a little newspaper for the students of S. O. E. and let them run it. This was done. Students were elected from each class to be its editors and reporters. And then promptly vanished. Most of them were never heard from again. Captain John L. Gordon remained editor-in-chief. One day he put out an edition of three pages, saying the fourth page was blank because he didn’t receive copy enough to fill it. It worked. More than enough copy came in for the next issue and at this date, it looks as if Sparks might really have enough copy to go to press every issue on time.

O. E. band on its first public appearance as it came swinging along down the avenue at the head of a body of engineering students on parade. It had been hinted around that the band was coming along very well; this could be verified by any one passing through this section of the city, on certain evenings of the week, by the volume of noise issuing from some unobserved room near the top of the Insurance building. After a few such sessions the organization was ordered out to furnish some music for the first home football game of the season. Our boys won the game and the above mentioned parade followed—and some hike. As I said before, “if you had been down town that afternoon,” you doubtless would not have been aware of anything about to happen until you heard the soft strains of distant music coming from way up the avenue. You would have had to post yourself at once on the edge of the walk in order to see anything at all, and then you could see only directly in front of you. The first thing you would then have seen, as you peeped over the shoulder of the man ahead of you. would have been a somewhat extra- ordinary sight. A tall, well appearing young man in an army uniform, which indicated extended “Overseas” service and a much shorter and heavier set man in civilian clothes, wearing a very attractive mustache. The ex-soldier is Mr. Landcrgott, our director. At the entry of the United States into the war, Mr. Landcrgott was a student of the S. O. E. and was one of the very first to enter the service. In short, he was with the 107th Engineers and his duties took him from dispatch riding to directing the 107th Engineers band. Last fall we were very fortunate to be able to secure him to direct our band. He would not care to have me say more about him so I will turn on that nifty little fellow along with him. That is our faculty adviser known as Prof. Kienth of the chemistry department. lie has been with us from the very first and is on the job at all times, looking for an ouuortunity to help in some way, if nothing more than giving a little fatherly advice. He is also very well known for his ever ready and cheerful word: “Give me a cigarette!” That slight light complexioncd fellow of medium height there on the end of the first rank with the trombone, is our president, Mr. Vinje, who, when he is not busy with the affairs of his office, makes himself very evi- dent on the end of that instrument of his. He claims that it is his music that makes him so good on a slide-rule. Our secretary and baritone man, Mr. Adams, was not with us very long before he was compelled to leave school and in his place we elected Mr. Hendrickson, that fellow back there warming up his clarinet. He is also assistant director and not so bad cither. Part of his duty, in conjunction with Mr. Libke, our tube player, is to entertain the bunch, during full moments by giving us some of their duets free of charge. Libke also helps do his bit by squeezing harmonv out of an old melodeon, while waiting for the rest of the boys to come to rehearsal. I might mention that our friend Mr. Hen- drickson would make a red squirrel dizzy to watch him go up and down that old get stick of his. Pntje Four Hundred Thirty-one And there with Hendrickson is our friend, Norman, “a man of few words,” but very active in making the band a better organization. If you don’t think he is a worker, just watch him sell tickets for the concert, and as for his ability, as a musician, he is there. If you don't believe it just ask him. I don’t want to forget our jazzy saxaphone player, Rogers. He did not come out for some time after the band was organized but has long since made up for lost time. While looking over that section, I would say, “Some section.” Thus far I have neglected our cornet section. There is a battery of them as in most bands of this kind. But those taking the prominent parts are Olsen and Renner, both very quiet and not very noticeable until they begin pushing together on the rear end of their instruments. Oh boy! You ought to hear them go after the high ones. Boettcher came to rehearsal one evening with his head bandaged up and his clothes rather ragged and torn. Some one wanted to know if he had been hit by a street car, but nothing like that. He had tried to practice on his cornet a little in his room. I only wish that I had time to mention the merits of each of the fellows in our band, but it is impossible here so I must pass on. I want to mention that these fellows would not show oft' but for some of the others that arc not so good. But to the rest I want to sav that is we who build up the back- ground which shows off those mentioned. BAND IN UNIFORM -- Page Four Hundred T iirly-two On November 11, the band of S. O. E. did its part to make it patriotic day, and I might mention that very few bands were out that day. On that day, the R. O. T. C. led by the band paraded through the main streets and at eleven o’clock in the morning played the National Anthem, while many a passerby stopped short, uncovered and stood erect to show that he was an American. We regret very much that we ever have to send back a negative answer to an invitation to play at some function, but there are times when it must be done. Most of us are here to study, although we do enjoy smokers, feeds and all school doings. The first five months’ work of the band came to an end in a concert and dance given at the K. C. hall on Grand Avenue, February 19, which shows what a bunch of willing fellows can do when they feel like working together. Now that we have a small consideration to work for besides our love for music, we expect great things of the band in the near future. It is too far ahead to say just what the spring and summer activities will be, but we are looking for many lively times.

Until this time, it was known simply as the “Literary Society.” It’s purpose is to give it’s members experience in making speeches and in debating. From the beginning, the society was a success. Mr. Castleman, who is a honorary member, presided over the first meeting and had a great deal to do with the getting the society properly organized. The officers as recorded on January 22, 1920 were as follows: J. C. Hendricks...................................................President W. L. Spindal...............................................Vice President R. Sutherland.....................................................Secretary P. Rhynard........................................................Treasurer E. R. Found............................... .......................Librarian R. R.

You may think this is not important, but, stop, look over the road that our successful men have to travel and sec for yourself the number of times that they are halted and asked to appear before an assembly to give their ideas on various subjects. They have to be prepared; how about you? Each hour brings you nearer to the time when the big men of today will, with a feeble voice, say, “I am old and weary; are you ready to take my place ?” What are you going to say? You may inherit their gold, and obtain their place at the wheel, but, remember the Supreme Power prohibits you from taking that experience mind, which they possessed. That leaves vou at the same place where they began, with two exceptions in your favor, that is, that you have the track open before you and can sec where they wandered astray. J. C. HENDRICKS. •‘GOOD HABITS TO FORM” • Learn to take things as they come—without regrets and complaints. There are two sides to life—the shadow side and the sunny side. Get the habit of traveling on the sunny side. Speak of the good and wholesome qualities of people. When you make a promise—keep it. When you set an appointment, be there and on the dot. Occupy every minute of your working day, to a purpose. To the idle, the Devil is most friendly. Associate with people bigger than yourself, and soon you will be big. Shun the whiner as you would the plague. Save at least a third of what you earn, and give part of that away! Cultivate a cheerful frame of mind and keep a fire of warmth in your heart at all times. Trouble is always peeping around the corner of the house in which a long face and a cold heart live. See something beautiful in every living thing! When you have found your niche, fill it and stay in it. But. keep inviting folks to come and call on you. Take time to eat and take care as to what you eat. Have an inward reverance for the body in which you live. Select only such friends as you can be true to through thick and thin—and cyclones. Be always mindful of the interests of others. Try not to hurt their feelings. Never let a day pass without self-examination. Learn to critici .e your- self. Have aims, and keep climbing up to them. Never lose heart. Kindness is strength. To be tender toward people is to sensitize your soul. It is a great thing to acquire. Read something helpful every day. Happiness is a habit. A virgin mind, a truthful tongue, a clean and honest heart. Should travel always hand in hand and never, never, part. J. C.

And, China having from time immemorial, ranked the highest as a literary people, now awakens to the need of a change in her educational policy according to the changes of the time. In seeking for this modern educaiton for the people of China, her leaders have wisely chosen the educational institutions of the United States to satisfy their thirst for knowledge. The fact that the plan has proved to be successful is shown in the increasing number of Chinese students arriv- ing in this country each year, and the brilliant scholars that the American universities have produced. Among the five Chinese delegates to the Euro- pean Peace Conference, three of them arc American trained, from Cornell. Columbia, and Yale respectively. From the mere handful of government stu- dents at the close of the nineteenth century the number of students has in- creased steadily to nearly 1.500 today, including over a hundred women. The greatest impetus was given a little over ten years ago when the United States government decided to refund half of the Boxer Indemnity to the Chinese government in the form of educating Chinese students at the expense of this country. This fund now supports two thirds of the students here. This act of generosity has prompted a degree of genuine friendliness between China and the United States which does not exist between any other nations. When the first few Chinese students arrived here, the were taken care of by the Y. M. C. A. organization, chiefly in providing them facilities which lessened the difficulties of a stranger in a foreign land. But as the number of students increased in the various university cities, there followed the natural development of a community, that is a demand for social intercourse and united activities. This desire on the part of the students gave birth to the many Chinese Students’ Clubs which now numbers nearly twenty in all. These clubs have for their main object establishing and maintaining a spirit of fraternity and social activities among the students. The Chinese Students’ Alliance, established some fifteen years ago, is the central organiza- tion of the local clubs and keeps them in touch with one another by a monthly publication which enjoys a wide circulation also among the Ameri- cans. In the forming of the “Milwaukee Chinese Students’ Club of the School of Engineering,” we have added another cornerstone to the students’ alliance and pledged ourselves to further the glories of the students’ share in the mak- ing of China as great as a Republican nation to the aspiration of four hun- dred million souls. Realizing that the student of today will be the states- men, and the leaders of tomorrow, it becomes necessary that every student should prepare himself to the utmost to meet the tasks that are before him. For this reason, the club has provided a constitution, by-laws, and rules of R Page Four Hundred Forty % ... Sts' ' '-, ' -THE 1920 IMF' -.... ; order, adequately drafted and carefully scrutinized to make the administra- tion of the club as real as possible in comparison with the national affair that we arc to handle when solemn duty calls. We also maintain an information bureau concerning Far Eastern topics, problems, and questions of interest for the benefit of Americans with whom we are desirous to pro- mote international good will and cultivate better understandings. The club also invites visitors, Chinese as well as Americans, to our regular meet- ings for the purpose of hearing the other man's point of view and thus widen- ing the general fund of intelligence of the student. Considering that the club is only three months old, born on the 10th of last October, the 8th anniversary of the Chinese Republic, we have made no small amount of progress in establishing ourselves as an active body of stu- dents. We feel confident that the future of the Chinese Students’ Club will be assured of permanent success, but only as long as there are energetic young students forthwith coming to this city to replenish those who leave after graduation. And so from the insignificant gathering of a few students the Chinese Stu- dents’ Clubs of the United States have grown to something of importance', to assume the duties of a nation, to voice the sentiments of a pent up people, to be the forerunners of modern civilization in China, to be the torch-bearers for the enlightenment of four hundred million population. Truly, the Chinese students are destined to play a great part in the future years in the reshaping of China, and their success should be certain, for they are American trained! “FRIEND” He is not very much of a friend who has to be reassured about our every word and act. You cannot count on a man or woman who since last you saw him may have heard something about you that he is waiting to have dis- proved. No one is much the richer for the kind of friend who falters: “That doesn’t sound like him ; it doesn’t seem to me it can be true.” What we ex- pect of the few, the very few, whom any one can count as his true friends is an outspoken declaration such as: “That simply is not true. I know the man.” Now and then we are disappointed when we find that the feeling of some- one we have trusted and loved is not our feeling. It is a loss, but our poverty is nothing, compared with that of the man who has no friends in whom he trusts, from whom lie waits no explanation. To have no friends who trust you would be a pitiable case, but not so pitiable as to have no friends in whom your confidence is complete. J. C. H. Page Four Hundred Forty-one i m .— «w-s THE 1L920 ElHF _JBS (!% Anmiran ifoijtflu Many of the ex-service men, who make up a large percentage of the student body, of the School of Engineering, have subscribed to the principles, and become members of the greatest organization of veterans in the history of the country. The high ideals of the organization arc well put forward in the following preamble of the National Constitution of the organization. For God and Country we associate ourselves together for the following purposes: “To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order; to foster and perpetuate a one hundred per cent Americanism ; to preserve the memories and incidents of our association in the great war; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state, and nation ; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness.” At the time of the first national convention held in Minneapolis starting on Armistice Day there were more than one million members represented, ot over twenty-five per cent of all the men in the military service of the United States in the war. This was a very healthy growth for a youngster less than nine months old. The number of Legionaries in the S. O. E. is well over two hundred and growing like the Legion itself. Most of these members have united with the Sergeant Arthur Kroepfel Post, the first post organized in the state of Wisconsin. This post has been distinguished for it’s initiative and successful endeavors. Many of the students have taken an important part in the most success- ful activities of the Post and have done much to make it a success. The regular meetings of the Post arc now enjoying some form of enter- tainment at each meeting and in the near future a monthly dance is under consideration. A Ladies Auxiliary is being formed of wives, mothers, and sisters of the members. The members in charge of this organization are army nurses who are working hard to help promote the success of the fellows here as they were self sacrificing and heroic in their work “Over There.” The American Legion is rapidly coming to it’s own prominent place in the life of the nation and shortly it’s weight will be felt by those lukewarm and half hearted patriots and those who tried to interfere in the successful prosecution of the war. Duo to its efforts for the help of the wounded and disabled service men the “Sweet Bill” was taken out of the regular channels leading to stagnation in Congress and passed and made law. This and the much needed reorganiza- tion of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance which is now taking place are its first contributions to the aid of the ex-service man and are due directly to the pressure brought to bear by the American Legion. ---------d. m Page Four Hundred Forly-tz+o ■THE 1920 EMF- - The high ideals and non-partisan attitude of the organization are and will make it’s attitude of great importance to the welfare of the nation to which it offered all, during the war. A. W. Merriam is now serving his second term as member of the execu- tive committee of the Post. P. J. Reinhart as chairman, ably assisted by F. J. Jutrash and Reimcr from the school made a great success of the entertainment committee, last year, in a short space of time they put over a very successful smoker, dance and several other interesting features'of entertainment. They also laid plans for several other entertainments which will bear fruit in the near future. For the new year many of the students are working for the good of the post on committees and in other ways. F. A. Ericsson, F. J. Jutrash and the other members of the new enter- tainment committee have started off with a rush, pulling off one successful dance, and having arranged for some form of entertainment for nearly every meeting of the Post within a month of entering on the work. They have many enjoyable entertainments in prospect for the coming year. THAT BLOODY WAR “I was a simple country boy And lived out on the farm. I never even killed a flea Or did any body harm. Chorus: That bloody war, That bloody war. One day the sheriff caught me. Says, “Come with me my son: Your Uncle Sammy needs you To help him tote a gun.” He took me to the court house, My brains were in a whirl; And when the doctor passed on me, I wished I’d been a girl. The local board says to us boys “What can you fellows do?” I say.s, “I’ll be the general. If it’s all the same to you?” They took me to-the train next day, The crowd it was immense; I never could get to my girl But I kissed her through the fence.

They gave to me a khaki suit, Some leggins and some shoes; My captain says, Dress up in these And I will cure your blues.” The straw was full of briers, That was in my sleeping bag; The captain chewed tobacco, Rut the sergeant chewed the rag. They fed me on potatoes And beef three times a day; It must be all the hogs arc dead And the hens they never lay. I asked the corporal of the guard For sugar for my tea; The corporal told the sergeant And they put me on K. P. They punched my arm full of holes, They vaccinated me; I guess it was the thing to do But it didn’t appeal to me. My arm swelled up, my head it ached; I was sick all day and night ; The sergeant says, to see the Doc. And then you’ll be all right. I I soon began to realize What I had got into; And now T know beyond a doubt, What Sherman said is true. Page Pour Hundred Forty-five lyWWWWfWM� rJ'. y % w ft ' i..

Page Four Hundred Forty-six Kint Bt Extra— pwittuag i p?rial SPEED FIEND DISCOVERED, AT LAST MOMENT, IN OUR CHIEF CAROONIST! Wc were talking over tlie last items of the E. M. F. About everything was in. Somehow or other the conversation drifted to the subject of speed- ways. Quietly there came into the conversation the voice of L. E. Glcim, and we made a discovery. He is a real speed fiend. He knows all about the leading speedways of the nation—Indianapolis, Chicago, New York, Omaha and Los Angeles; makes a point of taking in the great events of the motor races; knows lots of the big racers; and has a speed car of his own make out in his home in Phoenix. Arizona. It’s a gem. The story of it read like a Xmas story. Now, Glcim is a genius. Out there in Phoenix they show his art work- around town to all the leading citizens. Modest little Glcim doesn’t do it. but his father borrows the pictures and takes them down town. Well, once upon a time he made a picture—an oil painting—of the kind of a car he would like to own. He kept showing it to his father and say- ing. “There, Dad, is the car to own.” It had many features taken from the best racers, was a racy orange color and had one of those inflated backs that run out behind like Bob Burman’s or Dario Resta’s or De Palma’s machines. One day his father borrowed the picture to show it to his friends down- town (?). It remained away from home till Speedway Gleim began to wonder what had happened to it. Christmas came and Gleim was dissap- pointed at breakfast to find no present from Dad on his plate. But after breakfast they went out to the garage and threw wide the doors. Dad and he had a date to go hunting that day. The family already had three machines. There, in the midst of the group, stood Speedway Glcim’s yellow car. true to the picture in every detail. Yes, his father had sent that painting on to Detroit to the Dodge firm and had a special car made exactly like it—the nicest, niftiest little racer you ever saw. Miniature—only eighty-one inches wheel-base—just large enough for Gleim and a mechanician to sit side by side. A beautiful orange in color, a roar when on the road like a mixed calli- ope. fog horn and hurricane. Glcim’s heart went up in the air and hasn’t yet reached earth. Page Four Hundred Forty-seven Well, he went forth and entered all the races he could qualify for. And did all the stunts the law allowed. Got arrested seven times the first season. But was never fined. The police enjoyed the unique car so much they couldn’t bear to fine him. He took three prizes in races—there are lots of speedways around there. He raced in Arizona, New Mexico and California. He had one accident—in a road race. Threw one man over the fence and the car turned turtle. Nobody hurt. The Electrical Experimenter and various other magazines have written the car up and printed pictures of it. Speedway Gleim thinks of that car every day as he studies away out East here, and of his care-free career, and of his car waiting his long summer vacation, out there in cactus land. It goes as high .as seventy-eight miles an hour—fast as possible for a car so small. Gleim has traveled 102 miles an hour in a big racer. Page Four Hundred Forty-eight CO-OPERATIVE EARN-WHILE-YOU-LEARN SYSTEM. The co-operative earn-while-you-learn system of education has been de- veloped to a high degree of perfection at the School of Engineering of Mil- waukee. This system is now in operation at the school, practically all the courses being so arranged as to permit students to avail themselves of the privileges of part-time employment. While part-time employment is not compulsory, it is strongly recommended in the case of all students as a valuable feature of the educational facilities offered here, and greatly en- hances the value of the training. The primary purpose of this system is to give students immediately practical experience in the industrial world so that upon graduation they will not go forth from school as “green graduates”, but rather as men who have at least had some experience and are somewhat familiar with industrial and commercial practices as found in the foremost industries. It “cuts” what has been figuratively spoken of as the “raw” edge of the college grad- uate, and gives him an immediately practical value in the eyes and organ- ization of the man to whom he must necessarily go for his start in the industries. 'file courses are so arranged that a student can spend half of his time in industrial employment. The time so spent is either divided into half days, or alternate weeks. Under either arrangement, students are grouped in pairs—one going to school while the other works, and changing about at stipulated intervals. This permits their outside work to be carried on with- out interruption and to the satisfaction of the employer, and enables them to pursue their studies in school while not working. Unless students have had previous experience in electrical or drafting work, they cannot at once be placed in positions that offer them the same kind of employment they are studying for. Consequently, men are placed at first in positions for which their previous training and natural abilities best fit them. However, as they progress in their studies and are sufficiently far advanced to permit it. they arc transferred to electrical or drafting work. It is the aim of the employment department to advance boys to this stage with the utmost rapidity possible, in order that their experience may have a direct bearing on the work being taken up in school. The Employment Department is absolutely the intermediary between student and employer, and it has been the special mission of this department to see that the work the student does contributes directly and to the fullest extent possible to the technical education of the man, as well as to look out 1 P b Page Four Hundred Forty-nine ' ' m ' % % k for a just and fair rate of remuneration. It is the duty of the Employment Department to see that the student gives fair value in services to his employer and an accurate check is kept on students work which is taken into consid- eration in determining the progress being made in his technical work. The co-operative earn-while-you-learn system is distinct from the ap- prenticeship system, and the features of indenture have been studiously avoided. While the apprentice virtually pays for the privilege of learning a trade by accepting extremely low wages, under the co-operative system employees are paid a rate commensurate with the services they are per- forming. This is. of course, considerably higher than if the students were not simultaneously pursuing a course of study along the same line at which they are employed. The amount of money students get for part time employment varies, of course, with the individual. For the past year the average has been from $140 to $75 per month for half time. This, it must be remembered, includes a large number of unskilled laborers, and also quite a number of younger boys whose rate of compensation is governed by the state indus- trial laws. There are no able-bodied, full-grown men, however, who are earning less than $50 a month for half time employment under this system, and there are a great many men who are earning $75 a month and upwards. They have attained this rate by experience in some particular job, and advancement in their studies. These attainments, however, arc not out of the reach of the average student who comes to the School of Engineering of Milwaukee if he will be earnest and intensive in his work, and willing to make the necessary sacrifices for success.

You don’t need to “take down” or remove the article to be cut, carry it to a drill press, and then hack again to be installed. Apply the “Jiffy” rijjlu on the job and do a piece of work in minutes that will take you hours with ham- mer and cold chisel. HAS 1,000 USES The electrical constructor, the sheet metal worker, steam fitter, cabinet maker, ship builder,- in fact all construction and metal workers, find it impossible to get along with- out the “Jiffy” Adjustable Cutter, after giving it a trial. They avoid all delay in drilling and chiseling. NEEDED EVERYWHERE Holes of any size can be cut with the “Jiffy” Cutter, with the same satisfaction obtained by using the drill press. Anyone requiring the use of a tool for hole cutting should never be without this handy, durable cutter. Universal Tool Appliance Co. 373 BROADWAY MILWAUKEE, WIS. General Sales Agents PAUL W.
