WILLIAM LEWIS Chape — Bill Phi Psi General Cotton Westport High, Mass. Chape is or rather was a quiet fellow until he travelled to the big city and met New Bedford ' s Wildest. His school career has been one nap after another with Mr. Smith ' s chalk being the principal disturber of his peace. As a student Chape shines in color class but we would like to have a full size picture of him feeding pickers on his first job. Tisbury High, Mass. BRADFORD A. LUCE Brad President Athletic Association Delta Kappa Phi General Cotton Here he is folks, the pride of Vineyard Haven. Brad is a studious sort of a chap and has burned many a gallon of midnight oil (?) in order to maintain his high scholarship at Textile. Textile will lose her faithful librarian for Brad hurriedly ate his noonday lunch to keep the students well supplied with textile literature. Brad has the right qualities for becoming a big mill superintendent and we hope that he is as successful in the works as he was at his favorite pastime of cutting cards ? (for Jacquard weaving).

JOSEPH I.HARNEY Delta Kappa Phi joe New Bedford High General Cotton Soccer (3 ) foe is one of those small fellows who is in on everything. Besides being General Manager of DeValles Library Joe is one of the high men in our class and his marks have been good for the past three years. He helped put the soccer team on its feet but has not gone in for other athletics. If anyone is ever looking for Little Joe just glance in front of school at 10:30 and there stands Joe with his Lucky Strike. He knows that from 8:30 until 12 is a long time between smokes. With his practical knowledge of the mill game and a good school record we feel sure that Joe will make good within a very short time. SIGURD HORVIK Sig Delta Kappa Phi Norway Hosiery Knitting When Sig first hit the Land of the Free from Norway, three years ago, he couldn ' t speak a word of English. Now he can, vulgarly speaking, make a bum out of anybody in good old U. S. lingo. One of his specialties is bawling out Norman. In Norway. Sig says that he has been everything from floor sweeper to manager in a knitting mill. He has a pet alibi that if he is ever seen looking at a girl ' s stockings he is doing so merely from a business point of view. It sounds pretty thin. Horvik ' s one ambition is to invent a knitting machine that will turn out enough in five minutes to keep a centipede in socks for 11 years.

MAINVILLE Albane Rehabilitation Design year espe this be a Fred entered the designing class with six other rehabilitation men three s ago but is the only man who cont ' nued with the class and has made an cially good showing.

Xew Bedford claims Fred as a loyal citizen and on Saturday nights he can een cutting- loose with the brother-in-law in the wilds of the north end. Central Falls High. R. I. WALLACE L MILLER Red Delta Kappa Phi General Cotton Basket Ball (1-2-3 Captain 2) Baseball (1-2) Assistant Editor Fabricator — Class Treasurer From Central Falls comes this Rhode Island Red of basket ball fame. He clams he ' d rather play basketball than eat and those who ' ve seen him in Pete ' s will admit that that ' s quite a statement. One of Red ' s favorite pastimes is giving little parties in his and Whit ' s room. Anytime, day or night, a gang may be found or rather heard there rendering har- mony often accompanied by Red ' s tuneful (?) mandolin. He also spends much time trying to kid the instructors into believing they are wrong. We are not sure of the results of this little game, especially when Air. Smith is concerned. After June 8th. Red intends to straighten things out in the J. P. Coats plant.
