MORRIS H. CROMPTON Mechanical Dep ' t Mr. Crompton is one of the best known instructors at Textile School, where he has been teaching for some years. He came to us from the Morse Twist Drill Co. of New Bedford. Since the advent of the advisory board, he has been very active in governing ' the school sports. In steam engineering and mechanical drawing, Mr. Crompton is efficient, and certainly a hard worker. We owe much to him for the helping hand he has given us whenever we struck a snag. [Fourteen ' ]

SAMUEL HOLT Assistant Principal Designing Dep ' t Mr. Holt has been with the school since its start, and has built up courses in Design, Cloth Analysis, Jacquard, Color and Commission House. The school should congratulate itself on having such a remarkable man - Mr. Holt on its faculty. He is widely known, and is an authority on many subjects pertaining to the designing and weaving of cloth. All but a very few of the present designers in New Bedford have studied under him. Mr. Holt came to the school at its birth, leaving a position as designer in a Lowell mill. That indefinable something in man which keeps him teaching others, has kept him with the school all these years, and we hope for many more. [Thirteen]

FRED E. BUSBY, B. S. Chemistry, Dyeing and Finishing Dep ' t M. I. T. ' 97 Mr. Busby has been head of the Chemistry Dep ' t for the past 5 years, and anyone who has seen the Chemistry class of 1924 in action knows that this is no little job. With theory obtained at Technology and practical knowledge acquired in the laboratories and finishing plants of Xew England during the past 20 years this gentleman is ever willing to hand out to those inquiring students, helpful knowledge that will be found in no books. This class owes most of its chemical knowledge to Mr. Busby and with a little common sense ought to ascend to high places in the textile industry. [Fifteen ' ]
