THE FAB R IC ATOR 193 6 CtASS HISTOJRT T: IME marches on. The last three years have passed quickly indeed. Now the parting of the ways has been reached. It will be hard to break up the old gang but it must be done because the boys have finished their studies and must be off on the quest for fame and fortune — mostly the latter ! It was in September 1933 that we first got together determined to learn something of the Textile game. The first thing that we learned was to leave a deposit at the office, and then each instructor nonchalantly pro- ceeded to give instructions on how to leave some more. We soon settled down to our studies (except when there was a crap game going on in the lab) and our vocabularies improved tremendously. We learned of such phrases as according-ly and long irun ook . Fraternity bids and initiations held the spotlight for the next few weeks. The pledged members were put through their paces daily and at the final initiation there was a hot time in the old town that night. Strange to say, there were no fatalities. Election time came around and a very capable slate of officers was chosen as follows: President, Andrew Adams; vice president, David Aulisio; secretary, Ruth Dutton ; treasurer, Charles Sherman. Our class was well represented in sports that year. The soccer pitch found D. Aulisio, Szulik, Leahy and Pelczarski kicking the ball around for dear old Textile. On the basketball court we saw Szulik, D. Aulisio, Flynn, Durfee and Greenough dropping the ball in regularly. Our representatives on the diamond were Flynn, Barry, Leahy, D. Aulisio, Greenough and Pelczarski. There being many good dancers in our class and the desire to have a treasury, elaborate preparations were made for the Freshman dance. It was pronounced a staggering success by everybody due to hearty co-opera- tion from the fellows. The class was learning rapidly and towards spring we knew how to make the weave room look like a junk yard and how to shoot very accur- ately with a rubber tube. In the lab there were many budding Dilling- ers . Final exam time rolled around with its many headaches but most everyone managed to get by thus ending the first year at Textile. It sure made one feel good to know that you had ten weeks ' vacation in front of you. The following September most of the boys returned to go on with their studies. Old acquaintances were renewed and soon everyone was back in the old routine. But there was one person we missed — Mr. NEW BEDFORD TEXTILE SCHOOL Page twenty-two
