sites embracing angular conditions, which we had heretofore been unable to cope with. Algebra was freely used to deduct the de- sired results and the study of logarithms enabled us to arrive at rapid and accurate calculations met with every day in the practice of architecture. Strength of materials and structural design were taken up in our fifth year. Practical problems occurring during the day amongst the practicing students were discussed and worked out in’ connec- tion with the regular work in our curriculum. Again our knowl- edge of algebra helped us. After future study through practice and the use of the facili- ties of a post graduate course in the atelier and structural design we will become prepared to assume the responsibilities as future architects of the city. We hope to realize the fulfillment of the slogan “Newark Knows How” in its architecture. GEORGE T. HECHTEL MILLINERY “The flowers that bloom in the spring, tra la! have nothing to do with the case,” for the flowers bloom throughout the entire year in the millinery studio of the school. There was an old dingy corner that was left when the millinery department got its assign- ment of space, but now the light is good and the tables are fine, and in the evening we find it a very pleasant place to work, with bright colors and interesting materials. The trimming of hats, which in former years meant millinery, has changed to the making and shaping of felts and straws from the flat pieces of material to fit each person’s individual taste, style, and personality. So, with the shaping of hats into interesting lines and the dealing with color of various tones, we, in the millinery depart- ment, are developing art products as truly as those who work with brush or crayon or pencil or any of the so-called artists’ materials.

MECHANICAL CLASS OF 1928 1HE Mechanical Class of 1928 entered dear old Fawcett total strangers but the ensuing years have wrought a bond of friendship deep and true. We began our final year of study with a vision of success drawing near. Looking back we realize that our studies have been a pleasure and will afford many fond recollections in the future. As graduates of the Fawcett School of Industrial Arts, we have reason to feel proud of our accomplishment and due to the pains- taking and untiring efforts of our various instructors our past has proven beneficial and our future should be well assured. All we must do is work hard. The Mechanical Class of 1928 takes this opportunity to express its appreciation and good will to the Principal, Miss Marguerite Marquart, and the Faculty of the School.
