19 3 THE FABRICATOR MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT ALL students, at some time or other, during their course at school, come in contact with some branch of the Mechanical department. Steam engineer- ing, elementary electricity, physics, mill engineering, drafting, and machine shop, all fall under the category of this department. As a part of the machine shop routine, the Popular Mechanics render first aid to the sick and needy machinery from the C. Y. P., Weaving, and Knitting departments. In this, the Mechanical department more than earns its salt . Two excellent drafting rooms, an electrical laboratory, a steam engineering laboratory, a lecture room, and splendidly equipped machine shop, enables the students to obtain a thorough knowledge of the course. New Bedford Textile School is indeed fortunate in having such a depart- ment, made possible by the tireless and efficient work of Mr. Crompton, head of the department, and his assistants, Mr. Bayreuther and Mr. Walton.

19 3 THE FABRICATOR HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS IT is now time to say good-by. This is by no means an easy thing for vis to do. We have been together for a long time, while working and playing; now we have reason to rejoice for having been able to witness this worthy ambition of ours. We have learned to like the kind of life we led for the past three years, mostly because we begin to understand one another, begin to know ourselves in the real light as we really are. With this understanding, intimate frendships arose, and this, coupled with the co-operation which we received at the school, made our sojourn here a very pleasant affair. Now, with the passing of time, we also must pass on each a different way. Let us review our three years stay at the New Bedford Textile School. First let us look upon the year 1927, to be more exact, September of that year. Can you forget that memorable day when we were all gathered together in the library, each and every one of us shyly answering the questions necessary in order to be duly enrolled at the school ? Can you forget our first glance at the different instructors as they laid down the law, telling us what was expected. Much we marvelled at the material greatness of the edifice, and the prospect of being educated on so vast and important a scale detracted much from our blithe and cheerful spirit. Soon we grew less mindful of the gibes and grandeur of the upper classmen ; our own self-importance was leaking out. Months passed in rapid succession. We hardly became aware of our approach to seniority. Throughout these three years the Class of ' 30 has given liberally of its mem- bers to promote the success of New Bedford Textile School in athletic and scholastic achievement. In soccer, Roger Karl, Cecil Fell and Jim Dow have made this comparatively new sport from the start. Roger Karl, Cecil Fell, and Joaquim La Costa have lent their prowess for the success of the basketball team. A leading figure in all and every school sport is Roger Karl, having prom- inently won his letters in soccer, basketball and baseball and captained the three sports. In this latter sport Al Scaccia, Joaquim La Costa, and Stanley Prokuski were pre-eminently engaged. Co-ed sports, in the main, have combined themselves entirely in the person of Dot Perry. Turning from athletics to scholastic and social activities, we recognize easily the fact that the fame of the class rests principally on the latter school functions. The Class of ' 30 is responsible for the foundation of two societies : The New (21)
