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
