IT HAS BEEN a pleasure to have had a share in the work of the Ianuary 1937 Class Archive Committee. The Class ought to be proud of the fellows in that group. They worked hard to make it a Class Record of which the school could be proud. They have a fine spirit, the kind of thing that We older Northeasters like. I wish the very best of luck to every fellow in the Class. VINCENT B. BRECHT. To Mr. Brecht 'HE EDITORIAL STAFF of the Ianuary '37 Archive desires to pay a sincere tribute to Mr. Vincent B. Brecht for his many friendly bits of advice and keen interest. On innumer- able occasions the Staff has been aided and encouraged by his discerning sympathy. Therefore, the editors gratefully ac- knowledge the profound obligation of the Archive to Mr. Brecht for his invaluable services.

jim, 'Flew .Sched l-IE NEW BUILDING is to be almost exclu- sively for the Industrial students. Even if we do not suffer a serious loss from those students who know what the new building will be like in its improvements over the old in both room and facilities, I know there will be some who wish that they were of the Class of 1938 instead of l937, for then the new quarters are expected to be complete. The total number of rooms for the Me- chanical Arts classes will be fifteen. They will include four each of electric, auto and wood shops, two machine shops, and one mechanical laboratory for those majoring in mechanical construction. These rooms will be placed on a level with the old building Cfour stories? and will be at least thirty by sixty feet in size. The new equipment will cost thousands of dollars and will help make Northeast the best equipped school in Philadelphia. There will be an elevator to run from the basement to the roof. In the fourth floor there will be the soundproof music room where Music Teachers Duffield and Washco will preside. Their present domicile will be con- verted into a library to be named, in honor of our principal, Rowland Hall. In each of the new rooms there will be a clock. CWere these not there we could still have Ioe Fara- ghan announce the time every half hour from the public address system centralized in the main office? In addition to this there will be telephones installed in the new rooms and those in the old rooms fixed so that one will no longer receive calls from mysterious strangers who appear to hang up when the receivers are lifted. The old bicycle room or inner courtyard, is being converted into a modern lunch-room to be used in conjunction with the old one. A specially-constructed bicycle room has re- placed the small lunch-room and has its entrance and bicycle ramp on the Eighth Street side of the building. Best of all, they Won't have to change the words of the school song, for the new build- ing will also be faced with granite. All corridors throughout the building will have a glazed tile wainscoting such as is found in many junior high schools. lt will be strictly fireproof, with hollow tile parti- tions throughout. The main structure is to be the Somerset wing which is to have a wire enclosed root playground. THE NEW NORTHEAST IN THE MAKING
