FRESHMEN

Page 32 text:

The days passed quickly and before we knew it, we were seniors, ready for, and face to face with the future. Our class officers were Harold Riley, President, John V. Hillman, Vice-President, Thomas Dwyer, Jr., Treasurer, and Harry Wilcock, Secretary. The Fabricator Staff was also elected at this time, and, throughout the year various committees were appointed to arrange for such necessaries in the life of a senior, as dances, rings, and a prom. Our class has been outstanding in athletics, also. We have furnished the school and the sporting world some of its finest athletes. Those who anwered the soccer call were Koczera, Kosiba, Mello, Ramsbotham, H. Riley, Wilcock, and Singleton who served as captain. More than half a team ! The coach must certainly feel the heavy foot of the march of time. The basketball court was well populated with our boys and it is here that their actions and efforts particularly reflected with scintillating lumi- nosity. The basketeers were Aulisio, George, Hilliam, Koczera, Kosiba, Ramsbotham, H. Riley, and Wilcock who was also the manager in his senior year. Again the coach looks longingly back to the day when he could depend upon these stalwarts. Seniors who donned Tech baseball suits were Aulisio, Hillman, Rams- botham, H. Riley, Simmons, and Singleton. A person does well enough if he ' s in a racket, and no less the case with Textile in tennis. Among those serving and driving were numbered Diggle, Knowlton, Tripp, and Chace, the manager. Prom and finals have now passed. To the faculty, we wish to express our sincere thanks not only for the knowledge they have imparted to us, but also for their many kindnesses and friendship. Commencement awaits us with all its hopes and promises. We depart from the school hesitatingly, but we are confident that those who follow us will at all times endeavor to maintain the high standard of the school and all its traditions.

FRESHMAN CHEMISTRY QN SEPTEMBER 14, 1936, the New Bedford Textile School was hit by a cyclone in the form of the freshman chemistry class. Rather than follow the example set by previous classes, the first year chemistry class with the two other freshman classes founded new precedents. Instead of procrastinating their money problems and waiting till the final term to start gathering funds together, the freshman class undertook to build up a treasury that would be a credit to them in their senior year. Another example of the initiative of the present freshman class is the gala affair which it is planning to present at the New Bedford Country Club. Rather than plan one or two small dances in the school, the class is sponsoring an annual affair which will give prestige to the Textile School. Watch the activities of this aggressive class, for our motto is Put Textile School on the Map To offer a better view of our class members, we present below: Idiosyncrasies of the Eccentric Chemists JOSEPH G.
