19 3 5 THE FABRICATOR CLASS HISTORY We the Class of ' 35 before leaving the portals of N. B. T. S. would like to drift back a few years and review our outstanding events during our stay at N. B. T. S. The past three years have been three of the most happy years in our lives. They were filled with sports, book.-, and socials. All this has ended all too soon, and it is with regret we leave. Now let us look back. Early in September, 1932, a horde of in- significant freshmen were drawn to N. B. T. S. by some irresistible force. The first day we spent buying books and supplies and looked with much bewilderment at the lordly upper class men, and heard for the first time the famous Co-ome . Before the first week had gone by we changed our minds and found the upper class men were a fine bunch of fellows who helped us whenever we were in any difficulty. The second week we became more accustomed to the routine of the school and things began to move along smoothly. Soon after, we encount- ered rush week by the fraternities, Phi Psi, Delta Kappa Phi and Sigma Phi Tau. Then followed class elections, those being chosen were: Presi- dent, Christopher Edmundson: ice-President, Milton W. Her-toff; Treas- urer, Ralph Clark; Secretary. Phyllis Jason. Those of our class who were successful in making the soccer team were Gillett and Crowley. Then came the basketball season with Crowley, Clark, and H. Sherman representing the freshies. Szynal, Lewis, and Greaves were our classmates on the baseball team. Finals , dreaded by every freshman, arrived and passed, graduating us to the second cla-- ranks. And so ended our first eventful year at X. B. T. S. Minus a few, we journeyed to Tech in the fall determined to set a new record. We were represented in the sport activities of the school by Crowley and Greaves in soccer, Clark and Crowley in basketball. Lewi-, Greaves, Szynal, and Herstoff as manager, on the undefeated baseball team. Much of the credit for this excellent season goes to our coach, Mr. Thomas Gourley, and our classmates who served so ably. Clark, Perry. Sherman, Crowley and Johnson made the tennis team that year. t e arrived in the fall of ' 34 full of enthusiasm and ambition to make our last year at Tech a banner one. At our first class meeting we held elections of officers and elected the following: President, Frank Szynal: A ice-President. John Greaves; Treas- urer, Christopher Donnelly; Secretary, Ann Allen. The following were elected to the staff of the Fabricator: Editor-in-Chief, Milton Herstoff: Advertising Manager. Richard H. Lewis; Literary Editor, James Craig, Jr.; Business Managers, Ralph H. Clark and Thomas Gillett: Joke Editor. ■h 13 )|H

THE FABRICATOR 19 3 5 Henry F. Sherman; Art Editor, Ruth M. Dntton; Sports Editor, Albert H. Tetrault. Being the Senior Class, we had the responsibility of the school ' s social life upon our shoulders. We managed very successfully to carry this burden, and held three dances in our gymnasium. Under the able leader- ship of John Greaves we opened our social season with a Hallowe ' en dance held October 30th. Our Christmas time activities consisted of a dance held December 5th with one of our fair coeds, Ruth Dutton, heading the committee. Beau Brummel Richard Lewis was chairman of our spring dance held on April 24th. Again the sporting members of the class made names for themselves and we are pleased to record in our history that Greaves as player-manager, and Crowley were on the soccer team and Clark, Crowley and H. Sherman were on the basketball team. It was voted at our class meeting to dedicate our volume of the Fabricator to Mr. John L. Fawcett, head of the knitting department. In this small way we may show some of our appreciation of Mr. Fawcett ' s help and loyal support during our three years at Textile. After Commencement we will no longer have the support of our beloved teachers and classmates but we will have to battle our way alone, always living up to high ideals and principles taught to us at N. B. T. S. Let us always remember our motto, Knowledge is Poiver . 4 L4 ►-
