1931 THE FABRICATOR THE WEAVING AND DESIGNING DEPARTMENT THESE two departments work in conjunction with one another and both are of the utmost importance, resulting in the wide spread records of the suc- cesses of its general cotton students. Mr. Holt is the head of the Designing Department. He is ably assisted in his work by Mr. Beardsworth and Mr. Fawcett. Here the student has an opportunity to display his originality and ability in creating both cloth and color schemes. The color course under Mr. Holt ' s expert tutorage, gives to the students a complete general knowledge of color, in both values, and chroma; that they will probably meet with when later engaged in some form of textile work. Mr. Acomb has charge of the Weaving Department. He, with the assist- ance of Messrs. Beardsworth and Fawcett, gives the student extensive and thorough practical knowledge of the operation, working parts, and care of the various and intricate machines on the second floor. Box looms, Jacquards, and the latest automatic bobbin or shuttle changing looms are included in the equip- ment of this up to date weave room. The department has also the machinery necessary for warp preparation in both cotton and rayon, making the weaving department a modern and complete unit. Many of the looms and equipment have been generously and helpfully donated by manufacturers of weaving machinery. A student is able because of the completeness of the courses, to plan his own ideas onto the design sheet, make the necessary drafts, and then weave the pattern with the filling required. Sometimes his results are viewed with pride, and alas, sometimes with chagrin. With perseverance and hard work all dif- ficulties are sooner or later mastered, and the results when taken off the loom are viewed with the pride of the most cherished article imaginable. A prod- uct of The School Worth While. (17)
