GEORGE COX McDIARMID. ggbggT IS with a feeling of privilege that the graduating 806$ classes of :23 dedicate the sixth volume of THE OMIA :42 to Professor George C. Me Diarmid. It is for those of og us who have enjoyed the advice and instruction of Mr. Mac, as he is more familiarly known to the student body, that this biography is written. Mr. Mac was born in 1871 in Little Rock, Arkansas, where his father had located after going there as a Major in the Union Army. Mr. Maris father was a lawyer and successful real estate dealer. On his motherts side we fmd the legacy of scholarly people. His mother was a school teacher before she married, and his grandfather a lawyer, educator, and surveyor. Mr. Mads forceful manner in teaching may be attributed to an inheritance from his great grand- mother, a United Brethern minister, who occupied the pulpit until she was Well over ninety years of age. As a boy, Mr. Mac was fortunate enough to see a great deal of the United States. These trips. were usually lengthy, and the McDiarmids GEORGE COX MCDIARMID, LL. B. would leave before school closed in the spring and return to Little Such a condition made tutoring and attending of private schools necessary. Later he attended the Preparatory Department of the University of Little Rock. Here he remained for some time, but as the possibilities of a Rock well after the fall session had opened. small college were limited, and as his love for travel was always active he entered the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. During all his school work mathematics was his major subject. Some years later he entered the law college of the University of Arkansas then located in the state capital, Little Rock, with the purpose of studying real-estate law so that he might the better manage his fatheris estate. In 1895 he received the degree of Bachelor of Laws. In connection with his studies at the college Mr. Mac says, uThis institution was perhaps the only one in the country offering its students the privilege of the Supreme Court library and direct con- tact with the Supreme Court judges. valuable to us because the judges often discussed current cases with This experience was very the students; thereby promoting a strong interest in the law. Prior to receiving his degree, Mr. Mac had taken a trip to Cuba With his mother. In the course of journey they stopped at De Funiak Springs, Florida, where he first met his future wife, Miss Evelyn Ellis. It was on her account that he first came to Cincinnati, and during the course of his several visits here he met Professor Shearer, who in- timated that he might accept the position of president of the Ohio Mechanics Institute. Shortly after this, September, 1893, Mr. Mac was married in Cin- cinnati and Went back to Little Rock to live. In 1900 President Shearer asked Mr. Mac to come to Cincinnati to take charge of the Depart- ment of Mathematics. At that time only night classes were held. Mr. Mac has taught both day and night classes for the last twenty- three years, having; had at times seven or eight assistant instructors under him. On acquaintance one notices his unusually broad mind and the Before he was old enough to read for himself, his mother read constantly to him. He has traveled in every state in the Union, in Alaska, Canada, Mexico, and Cuba. In 1907, he represented the Ohio Mechanics Institute abroad as an active interest that he takes in both literature and travel. Since, he has found reading his chief recreation. educational observer. The progress and methods which have made the mathematics department of the Institute more than locally known may be attributed to the observations gleaned from this trip. The giving of the best years of ones life to the work of teaching, sometimes thankless, yet often an achievement to look back uponi is a courageous service. The opportunity of having had Mr. Macis sound advice and instruction during our course here is indeed a privilege. Too much honor cannot be given to him for his endeavors. w$u$a$$ew5w$m$$$m$uam$w$wxw$m$m$w$y$m$w$a$y$m$yggw E S t x 7m K k 1' E SE; Forewor ,x Z? t Waving? m,- S 1 M 4 a: S at; SQSBHEH the C asses of Nineteen Hun re an Twentge 7:?

The intensive classes established in 1919 and the power laundry course established in 1920 have continued to develop in a sat- isfactory manner and appear to fill a distinct need. The graduates of the intensive classes mentioned in this book represent the third intensive class to he graduated. Almost without exception the graduates of the intensive and power laundry courses are engaged in the work for which they were prepared. The technical high school courses have shown strength this year and the senior class, while not large, took an unusual part in various student activities. A council of student representatives, which shared With the faculty the regulation of those student affairs in which the students are more vitally interested than the faculty, is apparently meeting with con- siderable approval on the part of the student body generally. The past year saw a gradual reduction in the number of students who were sent by the U. S. Government for training in various lines. Altogether considerably more than a thousand such students have been at the Institute since the Government inaugurated the scheme for the training of wounded veterans in 1918. At the peak load the Institute had nearly 400 of them. Last September there were about 250 ex- service students and in May about 150. The number of ex-service men at the Institute during the coming year will be small. The general public is not aware of the tremendous problem that the training of ex-serviee men presented nor of the undoubted good that Was accomplished. The task was great and urgent. The hospitals of the country were overtaxed and the laws under which C Gnrtwlmn-n training had to be given were imperfect because of the haste with which they had to be enacted. The organization had to be thrown together in a great hurry. Under the circumstances there were vexatious delays in some cases and possibly some mistakes. In the main however, the country has handled the situation reasonably well. While the amount of money expended by the nation in supporting and training over a hundred thousand young men throughout a period of years has been enormous, this expenditure can be considered With a certain amount of equanimity because the work is constructive and not destructive. Many ex-service students have left the Institute to follow lines of Work of which they knew nothing when they arrived, in which they are now reasonably competent. The Institute is proud to have had its share in this great work. It had to begin several new courses that will disappear with the passing of the ex-service men. One new course that probably will remain is that in watch and clock repairing. No statement of the yearls work, however brief, is complete With- out mention of the newly-organized alumni association, for which the Institute is indebted to the energy and devotion of a small group of graduates, Whose efforts deserve to be crowned with success. 3 . f3?

Waite; Mr. Lucien Wulsin; Mr. Fred 0. Geier Cvice-presidenU ; Mr, Charles J. Livingood presidentL Missing from the group: Mr. James C. Hobart tsecretarthx: Harvey E. Hannaford Ureasurel-L THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS The board is composed of men of great abilities, many of whom have Shown their devotion by long years of service, and Who receive no reward except the satisfaction which comes from serving their fellow men. The board is unusually well balanced in that it contains men of many kinds of training and education and experience. Since the graduates, students and alumni of the Institute do not come into personal contact with members of the Board of Directors often, it is a pleasure in this copy of THE OMIA to express appreciation of the services which they render. The President of the board, Mr. Charles J. Living'ood, who is the personal representative of Mrs Mary M. Emery, has large interests under his control which bring him into contact with leading industrial captains of the country. Educated at Harvard, he finds relaxation from the cares of business life in the study of archaeology, in which he has accumulated a large library and in which he is deeply interested. Mr. Fred A. Geier, Vice-President, is in the front rank of that small group of Cincinnati manufacturers whose Vision and business sagacity have maintained CincinnatPS position among the industrial cities of the country. Mr. Geier, who is President of the Cincinnati Milling Machine Company, has been a member of the board for many years and has been a tower of strength. He is foremost in public movements of Cincinnati directed to the general welfare of its citizens. He possesses a careful balance between vision and foresight on the one hand and an accurate realization of facts on the other, which makes his judgment all the more valuable. Mr. Harvey E. Hannaford, Treasurer, is associated with a firm of architects that is responsible for many of Cincinnatiis landmarks. He was formerly an instructor at the Institute, was educated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and brings to bear upon the problems of the Institute a mind quickened by years of experience and observation, and a whole-hearted devotion. He has served as treasurer for many years in a most acceptable manner. Mr. James C. Hobart, President of the Triumph Electric Com- pany, also received his educatiOn at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has been secretary of the Board of Directors for many years. His broad experience and sympathetic point of view have been a great factor in the councils of the Board. Dr. John C. Kunz has been a member of the Board for many years. He was educated in Cincinnati and Vienna,and is a practicing physician. Dr. Kunz has a great love for art and music and for many years has been a prominent member of the Orpheus Club. Not- withstanding his numerous professional duties, he finds time to attend the meetings of the Board regularly and his insight and broad ex- perience make him a valuable member. Mr. Albert A. Merkei is a member of the Merkel Brothers Com- pany. He was educated in Cincinnati and is prominent among its younger business men. His general popularity and his clear, straight forward thinking are distinct assets to the Institute. Mr. Ernst Richter is an alumnus of the Institute who later became an instructor in the evening classes. For many years he was Chief engineer of the G. A. Gray Company, whose metal planers probably have no superior in this country. Mr. Richteris broad experience as a designing engineer and his sympathetic point of view with younger men make him a valuable member of the board. Mr. Morison R. Waite is a member of a family of distinguished lawyers and is in charge of legal matters for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in this territory. He is the member of the Board to Whom are referred matters requiring legal interpretation. He was educated at Yale University and is deeply interested in the Institute. Mr. Lucien Wuisin was educated in Cincinnati and at the Engineer ing College of Harvard University. He is treasurer of the Baldwin Piano Company, with Which his family has been associated for many years. Mr. Wulsin is a man of vigorous personality and is well fitted to be of service on the board of the Ohio Mechanics Institute.

CAREY BEARD Mechanical Student Mr. Beard joined the school in 1914. He was called away to the colors in ,15, and for two years his energy was utilized in the struggle for world wide democracy. A more agreeable fellow than Carey would be hard to find, and no group would be complete without one of his type. At present he is connected with the Ford Motor Car Co., and we hope to see him one of Mr. Fordls consulting engineers in the near future. CLARENCE N. ECKEL Clarence N. Eckel has made the best of his course here from the start. He is an earnest and attentive student and one who can draw his own conclusions even though he does not always express themea man who does not llblow his own horn and one who doesnt need to. Just a chance to make good is all he asks. An idea as to the calibre of his work may be gained from the knowledge that his final exams rated him two S. Mfs and a V. G. We wish you the best 0f luck, Clarence. JOSEPH A. JANZEN, JR. Mechanical Student. Joe has qualities of frankness and honesty that are hard to equal and impossible to surpass. He is strictly ufrom Missouri and was always last to agree to anything based on assumption. His friendly controversies with a certain Mr. Norwick were the source of endless amusement to the rest of the class, and will never be forgotten. He is a very apt scholar and did some exceptional work in machine design. Although we part at this time, Joe, the memory of your smiling face will always be with us. ALLEN E. REDMOND Mechanical Student. Mr. Redmond graduates with us this year by completing success- fully his final year, a year fraught with the most discouraging of conditions. An excess of work at his daily oocupation necessitated oyertime hours, which resulted in hurried trips from office to school, with little time for rest and less for study. He refused to give up trying, however, and as a result will be with us in June to taste the sweets of victory. Allenls sunny disposition and utter inability to become discour- aged has earned for him the admiration of all Who know him. We expect to see him designing can machinery in the near future. LESLIE ROEHM Architectural Student. To know Leslie is to like him. He has an aE'able patient dis- position that has won for him many friends. His presence will be greatly missed by all, especially by the architectural students. Mr. Roehm is in the construction business and the reading of Mai'iemont and model cities. We anticipate a Roehmont or a Lesliedale. EDWARD JOSEPH STUBENRAUCH Architectural Student. Ed has been with us the entire four years, coming from West Night High, and has been the life of the class during that time. His work has always been characterized by a seriousness and thorouhness which seemed to belie his merry jovial disposition. When Stuby EDW STEUl3E-NRAUCJWIo CAREY BEARD JCS. JANSZEN ALLEN REDMOND LESLEE ROEHM CLASS 0F'Q3 EVERETT THIELEN CLARENCE W. ECKEL entered the room, gloom left through the ventilator. He displayed great versatility in his studies, and always had pep to spare for fun. May your future career in the industrial field be as successful as your four years at O. M. I. night school. EVERETT JOHN THIELEN Electrical Student. tiHandsome Jack has won many friends during the four years he has been with us, all of whom wish him success. He is the posessor of a winning smile and a pleasing personality, which is very appealing especially to the fair sex. Radio is one of his hobies, and we have reasons to believe that he may spend a part, at least, of his future career at this game. ALVIN DIRE Mechanical Student. A clean cut industrious fellow whose diligence and untiring effort culminated in a record to be proud of. He has a ready smile and a pleasing personality that should be a valuable asset in his future work. He has our congratulations and best wishes. WILLIAM H. HISSETT Electrical Student. Mr. Hissett is one of our best students. He excelled in all subjects, especially, geometry, trig; and advanced algebra. He is married and has a family, a fact which many would con- sider detrimental to his chances for success through education in the night schools but he is not of that caliber and the vast amount of learn- ing he has gained at the School, coupled with years of practical ex- perience as an electrician, his capacity for forging ahead, and his pleasant personality can spell only success. We congratulate you, Mr. Hissett. WALTER HUGHES Electrical Student. A sober and industrious fellow who rivaled the proverbial Sphinx in silence, but when he did speak, his brief words were worth their weight in gold for the humor and Wit they conveyed. Good luck to you, Walter, We feel sure you will tackle the problems of life with the same determination you have always dis- played at the school. JOHN A. JUNG Electrical Student. The pleasures of high life mean nothing to John, and he goes on with his work indifferent to their existence. He has always display- ed great perseverance in his studies and a desire for plenty of work. May success smile upon you, John, you have earned it. GUSTAVE V. LAUCH Architectural Student A care-free chap who mixed his difficulties with the humorous side of things and always came up with a smile. The class would have been lost indeed without his keen sense of humor. While waiting in the corridors for the classes to begin, he usually had the floor, and many were the occasions when his funmaking added zest and gave us new interest in our work. ALVIN LOUIS MUCKERHEID Achitectural Student. A quiet industrious fellow who contributed his share of effort to the establishment of an enviable record with the architectural group who wish him success, and who hope to hear in the near future of the successful accomplishment of the work began at the school. WILLIAM T. ROM Electrical Student. A jewel in the rough is Bill. There is something in his tail sparse figure, in his deep set glowing eyes, and, in his willingness to help others that always reminded us of old iiAbef, the emancipator. Approximation is not a part of his makeup. He always worked with untiring effort and paintaking care to get accurate results. No- thing but success awaits you, Billi EDWIN H. LUDWIG Electrical Student A quiet unassuming fellow, earnest in his work and consistent in his attendance throughout the four years. We dorft know what your ambitions are Edwin but if they are attained by perseverance and strict adherance to duties we havenit the least bit of doubt about your ability to succeed.

Sixty-two members started in September, 1921, and shortly afterwardielected Earl C. Snow, presiw dent, Theodore Alford, vice-president, and Cecil Smith, secretary. Intensive study, was the slogan from the very first day. All seemed to realize that a proper grounding in fundamentals was essen- tial to a successful finish. Our instructors proved their interest by giving us much time outside of school hours. The first class banquet was held in the O. M. I. lunch room on the eve of Washingtonls Birthday. It was our first chance to become better acquainted, and this association did much to weld the members into a closer fellowship. Several inspection trips were taken to local manufacturing plants, which added variety to our knowledge. For the final year the class ofiicers elected were: A. G. Decatur, president, Warren E. Leavitt, vice-president, and J. A. Roberts, secre- tary. The first banquet of the year was held at the home of Earl Bates, and it proved a success in every way. On February 24 the mechanical and electrical sections ran a test on the O. M. I . power plant under the supervision of Professor Muncy. Several members were forced to drop out of the class during February and March much against their will. The Veterans Bureau Medical Department would not let them continue at a sacrifice to their health. With graduation only a few weeks ahead, we feel grateful to our instructors, and especially to Professor Muncy, for their efforts to inculcate in us true engineering principles and true engineering ideals. ePaul Summers. SOLILOQUY OF A SCHOOL MOUSE. One of the fellows of the class of '21 dropped a small hand mirror in Dr. Muncy's room, and it rolled behind a radiator. On April 1, 1923, a little mouse happened along, and seeing his shadow in the mirror and thinking it was another mouse, spoke thus: Well! hello there, little brother. How did you get in here? I didnt think there was anyone else except Mr. Lehnhoff and me who would venture in this room. Anyway, I am surely glad to see you because this bunch in here now is a grouchy set. I have been with them all the year and know each by name. Do you want me to bell you who they are? See that fellow with a springtime look on his face? Thatls Summers. He had the nerve to tell Dr. Muncy that there could not be two correct answers to a problem. That tall funny looking fellow is Allain. Everytime he says Homegah it sounds so mueh like oatmeal that I almost wish I was back in my old home at Krogerls. That fat fellow is Bates. 1,11 bet you a quarter that before the day is over, he will say something about Appleton, Wisconsin. That little runt next to him is Kupferlc. He forgot himself one day in Steam Power and started talking; about a regenerative set. Therets Price now. That fellow is hard to figure, but I am told that he is not overfond of the girls. By the way, do you want to buy a good twin bed? Mr. Wallace wants to sell one of his so he will not have so much to ship back to Oklahoma. Willis intended to buy it to use as an aerial, but he got W. A. A. D. and decided that his aerial was good enough. Don1t say anything about this, but that next fellow, Mr. Lefevre, has been Writing French notes to the English teacher Did you know that Mr. Wilson won four baby contests when he Was small? Those next two are Mr. Roberts and Mr. Decker. Dr. Muncy put them together so that Decker could talk for Roberts, but he went to sleep on the job. Here comes Snow and Stratman. I surely hope that they send me an invitation to the double wedding. That is Mr. Decatur in the end seat. Boy, you surely ought to see him work some of those hard problems. Right behind him is Englekamp. He is the fellow that said, iNever do today that which you can put off until tomorrow? That fellow with the funny little bunch of hair on his upper lip is Mr. Fromme. I don : know much about him because he is not here very often. Say, old friend, I see that fellow Rader- masher listening to us, and as he cannot keep a secret. I guess we had better part. Pll see you again tomorrow. And the little mouse ran behind a pile of boxes and disappearezzI in a hole. Herbert Radermacher CLASS PROPHECY Let us transport ourselves to the year 1953 and look back in retrospect over a group of representative citizens who composed the graduating intensives of the class thirty years previously. We learn that: Le Roy J. Allain is in thew Awlins and bids fair to become one of the cityls leading electrical workers, if putting distilled Water in storage batteries may fall under that head. Rumor has it that he has now gotten a fair insight into elementary calculus, which report has not yet been verified. He is still working on his revolving-brush gen- erator. Earl W. Bates has returned to his old love-erailroading. It was while piloting the weekly train from Arskarsh to Appleton that he received the inspiration leading to the perfection of his now famous electrical thoti air-brake. Alfred G. Decatur is more fortunate than the rest. His superior mentality, so marked in school days, stood him in such good stead out in the world that he soon retired from business and is now heartily engaged in growing old gracefully. Roger E. Decker plodded for some years as a mechanical engineer on Ford rear axles until discovered by Billy Watson, the burlesque mag- nate, while en route through Lebanon. His natural ability attracted the big man, who engaged him as comedian. He is to start on the road next season with his own company, iiLingerie Lilies. Carl H. Englekamp, thesilienceXl tmeaning resistance to world, is jerking soda for Dowis. It is reported that he has made quite a success in this line of work. This report is, however, unverified. Arthur G. Fromme has passed to the great beyondesuddenly. It seemed that there was some kind of argument over a pinochle game and Art came out second best. Also feet First. The insurance men of the city, of whom he was one, gave him a grand turnout for the last sad rites. Arthur T. Kupferle has been making great progress in the field of radio research. His latest invention is the wireless bedspring, which he hopes to market soon. Fred Lefevre is Chief engineer on a steamboat 0n the St. Lawrence River. His facile French comes in handy in bossing a crew of Canucks. Walter Price is still the same hard working chap as always and one of the country's best architects. Herbert T. Radermacher is now chief engineer of one of Evans- villeis prominent public utilitieSeits street car. John A. Roberts, bashful and fastidious mechanical engineer, is doing nicely. While riding in an elevator some years ago, he saw That Girl standing in a corridor. Now if this thing only ran sideways, he soloquized, HI would go after her.,, The wish was father to the thought, and he became the inventor of this great boom to mankind. Earl C. Snow is a prominent lecturer on a Chautauqua Circuit. He is credited With being able to use more technical language and abstruse thought in the explanation of simple things than any other platfrom orator now living. We believe that his logical place is in the Senateeas a filibusterer he would be ne plus ultra. Andrew P. Stratman, the eminent toy manufacturer, still regrets that Dr. Muncy proved that perpetual motion is impossible. It seems that he was discouraged in his quest just at a time when success was just around the corner. Paul M. Summers made good his threat and ttwent back to Dixie. ' We understand that he has found his old fashioned girl and he and his family are living the life of southern aristocrats. If Paul had only come from Kentucky instead of Tennessee he would certainly have been a Colonel long ago. Thomas R. Wallace, of Wallace 6; Co. Brokers, Oklahoma City, has recently been appointed ambassador to the Court of St. James. This was another case of the right man in the right place, as diplo- macy is the one thing he aint got nothinl else but. Earl F. Willis got WLW with his radio set the other evening thus fulfilling his fruitless labors of over thirty years. Perseverance wins in the endedoesnlt it? Edwin G. Wilson is a steadily plodding and successful electrical engineer. However, he is the original Hman of mysteryll and is probae bly working on some great invention that will startle the world Within the next few years. -Warren E. Leavitt. The old saying that everyone makes mistakes has been proven. Dr. Muncy made one this year. Dr. Muncy: tiMr. Decker, how does a lock-nut on a lathe work? Mr. Decker: tlI am no 'machinist. I refer you to Mr. Willis. Dr. Muncy: ttYou had better learn how it works, and how many other pieces work, for I do the referring in this classy Mr. Radermacher: HDr. Muncy, do you approve of slide rules? Dr. Muncy: No, they are all right for expert mathematicians. Mr. R.: I had one, but laid it aside because I can save time with out it. Dr. Muncy: HGood, you have more sense than I thought you had? Dr. Muncy: HWhen you begin to count, what is the first thing you say, Mr. Decker? Decker: The first thing I say is nothing. Dr. Muncy: What do you say first? Decker: thothingF Dr. Muncy: Thatls what the dead Indian said? Dr. Muncy: HMr. Lefevre, what is virtual velocity? Lefevre: Illl bite, what is it? Dr Muncy: Mr. Radermacher, can you discuss the Lenoir Cycle'Pl Radermacher: til can go from part to part by skipping some.

Bates may go with the Westinghouse Airbrake Co. Get fully equipped, Bates. Fromme broke his record. He was at school 3M2 days in one week. Fromme, Decatur, and Allain tried to fool the camera, but no use. It always takes what is in front of it. Snow tried to design a generator, but there were not enough books in the library; so it turned out to be an electric heater. A sigh, a groan, a squeak, a crash What is it?

POWER LAUNDRY CLASS HISTORY Looking backward, we note that the Power Laundry course came into existence but three years ago. Although this C0111'Se is still in its infancy, great steps have been made toward making it a decisive fac- tor in the laundry industry. At the present time, but one class has graduated; these men, however, have brought forth the immense value of the course to the industry. Such a course as this, continuing for years, is sure to revolutionize the entire laundry business of the United States. A second class graduates this year, after having devoted two years to intensive study. In these two years much practical knowl- edge has been obtained, as well as a great deal of technical knowledge. These men are now anxious to get into action and try their newly acquired ideas and theories in some laundry. As this course is the only one of its kind, eyes of laundry men from all over the United States have been centered on the Ohio Mechanics Institute. It is one of the two co-operative courses in this institution, and the students go to school for a month, then work for a month in a laundry. From the first this course has been of great interest to all laundry owners. This is proved by the fact that all the men who completed their studies last year were offered positions after graduating. Even abroad the immense possibilities of the course have been discussed, and many inquiries for detailed information have been received. It is our hope that the course will prosper, and that in the future employers may pick efficient executives from graduates of The Ohio Mechanics Institute. A POEM DEDICATED TO THE LAUNDRIES OF THE U.

Wilson. SENIORS CLASS HISTORY 1919e1920 It seems but yesterday that we entered the Institute as freshmen the four years have hown so fast. We well remember the first day we entered school. We were green, felt green, and looked green. We had all heard the rumors of how they treat freshies in high school and were exceedingly worried. We did not know which would come first, a drop off the roof or a ducking in the river. After a few days of half-fear and hope that the upper classmen would either start the hazing and get it over with or leave us alone altogether, we realized that we had sixty men in our class, which was more than the total number of the other classes; so we took heart and organized. The upper classmen too seemed to realize the number of men in our class, and consequently we were never made the subjects of those rough and interesting hazings-rirough for the freshies but interesting for the upper classmenewhich freshmen often have to bear. An election of officers that year resulted in two of the remaining members of that class being elected to omce Joseph Jorling becoming; vice president, and Hilman Smith secretary. Smittie rose in prom- inence that year due to a green tie he was fond of wearing, as a rew print from one of The Micrometerts shows: HSmittie had a pretty tie Its hue was Irish green And every where that Smittie went The tie, too, could be seen. tWhat makes him love the green tie so? The eager students cried. Why Smittie is a patriot, And that ties his joy and pride, We don,t know, but we still wonder if his being patriotic has anything to do with his using green ink in his fountain pen. 1920e1921 When we returned to school in the fall of 1920, we found many striking changes in the men who were to travel with us on our second lap. Many new faces appeared; many old ones were gone. This year we were fewer in number, but we were, in our own estimation, considerably wiser, which we thought more than made up for the loss. We lost no time in organizing, and Joe Jorling and Hilman Smith were again our vice president and secretary. During this year a member of our class became captain of the basketball team, and consequently we were enthusiastic and turned out for every game. We had laid off the freshmen and were just ripe for an initiation; so upon the approach of the game between 0. M. I. and Norwood, our greatest rival, we sent orders to the freshmen to attend the game or suffer the consequences. The freshmen held an indignation meeting and decided they wouldn't attend. On the morning of the game word was passed around the halls that the initiation was to take place at noon, and accordingly when the freshmen were liberated from their last class, they were seized with none too gentle hands and conveyed to the roof. Lawrence Schroeder, their president, ob- jected strenously to this, and ' so it was decided to make an example of him. After gener- ously smearing his face with paint we hung a sign around his neck on Which was printed, I am going to the game, and he was marched around town. Next he was taken to a telephone booth Where he informed his mother that he could not possibly ar- rive home immediately after school. A roll call of the freshmen at the game showed one hundred per cent attendance. English and ancient history proved to be the banes of our ex- istence that year. The English period came directly after lunch, and everyone will agree that it is better to sleep after lunch than to study English, which we did. Immediately after the refreshing- sleep in English we hastened to the ancient history room where we amus- ed ourselves twhen we were not trying to take down in short hand the esserce of our instructorls dictationl by placing thumb tacks on other peoples seats-a harmless pastime which is guaranteed to bring a howl from the unlucky individual. We managed, however, in spite of all these happenings, to pull ourselves through our sophomore year, and in June, 1921, having completed our second lap we were more than ready for the summer vacation. 192171922 After the first few weeks of getting acquainted, we hit our stride and we were all set for the second half of our journey towards --graduati0n. We organized early in the year and selected Hilman Smith as president and Joe Jorling as Vice president to lead us for the year. Our studies were somewhat harder, but they were not so hard that we couldn't be the main factor in the school activities. Upon finding that there would be no MICROMETER that year due to the inability of the senior class to produce, the juniors set up an awful howl till the student council thought they might as well let us take a whack at it and see what we could do. Did we put it across? Illl say we did. Hilman Smith was appointed editor With Jimmie Campbell his associate, and together they made the book what it was never known to be before. Athletics! We had our share of them too, more than any other class in the Institute. Three men from our class, Joe Jorling, Carl Koehler, and Bud Schuster represented the juniors on the basketball team. The forge shop was at times the scene of many unusual happen- nings. The tlunch in forging idea was originated by Smith and Schusw ter, and it was not long before the whole class would have their lunch tucked under their belts by the time the bell rang, which gave us the complete lunch hour for other things we had to do. At the beginning of the second semester Herman Yung joined us, and those of us Who thought we were apt in math simply had to take a back seat. We have come to the conclusion that he is nothing short of a math genius. The junior picnic, held on Decoration Day, was one that will long he remembered by the class. Smith. Schuster, and Browder traveled all the way up to Oxford to get some co-eds to join them, and then back to Miamitown. The speed cop! Oh, yes, that cost Brow- der a dollar. Koehler and Weig- Iein had some friends from VVinton Place, while Gerdes and Meyer decided that they would much rather fish than to be bothered With a girl, but Judging from the way they at- tacked the eats, I think they meant they would much rather eat. Business trips were frequent with the class that year, Oxford and Loveland being the objective of most of them. When the riders re- turned, they would bring with them a road sign to verify the fact that they had really been gene. These road signs, for the remainder of the year adorned the Micrometer office. After tabling the motion to get rings and pins for half the year, we had an unsual design drawn up and the rings made. After the delivery of the rings and pins, the juniors were seen for the next week walking jauntily about the halls with their hands held in such a posi- tion that the rings could he flashed in the eyes of any member of the opposite sex who happened by. During their junior year Joe Jorling, Carl Koehler, and Johnny Schuster received sweaters from the Institute for their work on the basketball team, while Hilman Smith, James Campbell and John Schuster received Micrometer pins for their work on THE MICRO- METER. ' JUNIOR DAY 1922e1923 Alas! ttis sad, but true. Welve reached the last rung on the lad- der! and June will see us bid farewell to the portals of O. M. I. Sep- tember, 1922, found many among the missing. Those answering the roll call were Campbell, Fischer, Jorling, Koehler, Meyer, Schuster, Smith; and Yung dropping in a month late it made a total of eight. With but seven members we were undaunted and easily led the school in activities. THE MICROMETER executive staff was chiefly composed of sen- iors; Hilman Smith and James J. Camp- bell were the editors, while John Schustei' was associate and Joseph Jorling the busi- ness manager. How they put the book across and made it among the foremost high school journals in the country can be found elsewhere in this issue. Joseph Jorling tcaptaim and John Schuster were the main defense of the basketball team for this year. As for representatives on THE OMIA staff you ye Eds have only to look at the staff page of this publication and you can see at a glance how well we are represented there. Literary talent in our midst was far from lacking, for in the Maxwell Prize Essay Contest the seniors won four of the five prizes that were given, Hilman Smith, first prize, John Schuster, second prize, James Campbell, third prize, and Herman Yung', fourth prize. Although one of the smallest classes in the Institute to graduate, we have done as much, if not more than any class of three or even four times our number in boosting the activities of the school. Well do we remember the two weeks after our editor's trip to Marietta as a delegate of THE MICROMETER to the - North Central Association of High Sch001 ii Journalist, for it took him that long to get The Senior De fense over talking about it. Marietta seems a town of great possibilities; yes, very great. We decided to have a class election and select officers. Not that we thought that we would ever have any necessity for calling a meet- ing, but then, ttWhaVs a class without officers ; so Joe Jorling was elected president and Herman Yung was elected vice president. The vote was unanimous in both cases. One day, it being too hot to work, we decided on a trip to the water works. The class adjourned and accompanied by Mr. Ecker we set out to find out how Cincin- nati water is made pure. We found out how it is purified and Meyer, Koehler, and Schuster also found out how cold it is. They went swimming. After Four Years of It . . . . It took them an hour to make up their mind to go In, and one mlnute sufficed for them to make up their minds to come out. No casualties resulted, and all appeared at school the next day. Koehlerts marcel wave remained unaffected. The first day that Robin Hood came to town the senior class took a half holiday and marched en masse to view the picture from the heights of the gallery at the Strand. These and many other happenings have marked the course of our four years at the Institute, and we, the class of ,23, are experiencing that vagUe feeling of regret that our high school life is nearly over and our good times drawing to a close, but we find consolation in the fact that in the future we shall think of these four years with thrills of pleasure and a knowledge of having done our duty to the school to the best of our ability. -John E. Schuster. WILL OF THE SENIOR CLASS OF ,23 We, the senior class of 1923, being of sane judgment and sound mind, knowing that ere long we will be no more of the Ohio Mechan- ics Institute school world, do deem it both wise and necessary to make, publish, and declare this our last will and testament Article One: The parking space in front of the building, for- merly occupied by seniorsi machines, we bequeath to our beloved president, Mr. John T.

CLASS PROPHESY It was a blistering hot night in August. I was strolling along a dark street in Cairo, Egypt, thinking of what I had accomplished in the last ten years of my Iifeenothing. Upon turning a corner I ran full tilt into a little drama which was being enacted. A man, standing with his back towards me, had a pistol leveled at another young man who was holding a bag. The fellow with the pistol seemed very anx- ious to take charge of the bag which the other carried. I stepped up behind the robber and knocked the pistol from his hand, and the high- wayman, finding himself without a weapon, turned and tied. The stranger, for so I took him to be, turned to me and said, ;Sir, I am deeply indebted to you. Had it not been for your timely appear- ance and quick action, I would have found myself out just two thous- and dollars which isnit my own, I am ------ . Well! if it isnit Bud. How in the world did you get into this God-forsaken place'Pi uJimmy Campbell, as I live, I didnt recognize you in that outfit. What are you trying to do? Masquerade as an engineer W No, not masquerading. This is the real thing this time. I am with a New York construction company and have charge of the re- construction of the pyramids. You know a lot of these grave diggers have been tearing them apart looking for mummies, and I have the job of putting them together again. I have quite a nice place with the firm, being chief construction engineer. Started as a field man after I left the University of Cincinnati and have worked my way up. Tonight, When you interrupted the little party with the holdup man, I was on my way to the pyramids With the payroll for the men. But tell me about yourself. What have you been doing to make a name for yourself? Oh, Pve been roaming about this old world, here and there, not doing much in any place. At present I am here because I ran out of funds, and the captain of the steamer informed me that he didnit make a habit of carrying passengers gratis. PM have to lay here until I accumulate some wealth; then I guess Iill go back to the States to Spend- it.' Whafuhave the boys back home been doing, the rest of the class of i231? ttSmittie, Iill call him that, although he really ought to be Mr. Smith now, has risen quite a bit in the world. After he left the 0. M. L, he took a liberal arts course at Harvard. When he graduated, he got a position as editor of one of the International Trade Pressis technical journals, but that was a little too tame for him, so he got in to the newspaper game and is now managing editor of the largest newspaper in the States, The Cincinnati Daily Fasces. He has also written several books. A few of his latest works are: The Exercise Afforded by Cutting a Big Lawni, and iA Broken Arm, or the Police Court of Montgomery, Ohio! ttJoe Jorling took heed of the saying, Go West, Young Man, Go Westf He thought that because he was so good at riding the fellows up in the gym and got the nickname ticowboyii he could be areal cow- boy and ride horses, but every time he climbed astride one of those bi'oncos he had to lay up for a week, so he came back East and got in with a cigarette manufacturing corporation. Two years ago he bought the controlling interest in the factory and now puts outa cigar- ette named after himself, The Joriina. They tell me that he still bums matches, although he is well supplied with cigarettes. HI suppose I donit have to tell you about Carl Koehler, as you were an auto-racing fan yourself and probably know of the records he has been making. His latest speed attained was two hundred and fifty miles an hour out at Los Angeles. When he isnit racing, he is practic- ing his profession as physician. When he left the O. M. I. he went to medical college and graduated with high honors. He is one of the best physicians in the country, but practices only for special work. nHerman Yung, our math genius, followed the engineering line as I did. He is down in Mexico at present, doing some kind of engineer- ing work. I don't know just What it is. He is With a firm that is a rival of mine. He has plenty of opportunities down there to exercise his mathematical ability. nGordon Meyer has ilollowed the chemical field. He perfected and patented a process to make home brew so that a day after it is made it tastes as if it had been aged in the wood for fifty years, and its got a kick like a mule. His latest invention is a white ink that wonlt: blur. He recently sold five hundred bottles of this to Hilman Smith for his photograph albums. ttI guess that's about all I know about the gang, but if you will stop out to see me, P11 give you their addresses and you can write to them yourself. Having been away from the States for some little time, I have lost track of their doings almost as much as you have. iIIf you want to make some money so you can get away from this hole,come out and I will give you ajob shoveling dirt; Of course we don,t pay much, but I believe the pay is commensurable with your ability. You would probably have to work only three or four years to accumulate enough to start for home. ttWell! so-long, Bud; see you tomorrow. I shall have to be running along now so that I can get back before some other ustick-up artist relieves me of the payroll? uSo-longf' 1 echoed, tTli think over your proposition. And as I continued on my way I meditated on the best way to scrape up the most money with the least effort. e-John E. Schuster. KoehlerettThe Cake Eater. CAN YOU IMAGINEe Mr. HMac scowling?

WE B ER JUNIOR ASSOCIATE I; JDve 14:7, THE MICROMETER I The idea of having school activities is to create a common bond of interest in the student body. There are perhaps other media than a school paper or athletics, but there are none more efficient. It is the former, the school paper, that this article is designed to discuss. The reorganization of THE MICROMETER took place nearly two years ago by a group of determined juniors who were beset with the idea not only of rejuvenating the journal to its former standard but also of exciting scholastic envy throughout the country. Since the growth of THE MICROMETER has been set forth in detail in the Annual of ,22, we will take only time enough here to out line the salient features of the tenth volume. The size of the magazine was promptly increased from 32 to 48 pages, and this, together with an attractive new cover on each issue, immediately placed THE MICROMETER on a par with the best scho- lastic journals in the city. This progress was rapidly furthered by the addition of many novel features. Chief of these was, the innova- tion of reprinting cuts that appeared from time to time in local news- papers. These plates were rescued from their respective iihell-boxesi, by an enterprising staff member, mounted on wood blocks in the Insti- tute wood shop, and printed on the Institute press. Such a scheme meant valuable publicity for both the Institute and the journal, and in addition put a snap into feature articles that made them of general interest. During this year second class and special mailing privileges were secured. To the casual glance of the student this may not mean much, but it is an important factor of consideration when onets postage bill is reduced 85 per cent. The ultimate result of this was benefit for the reader, and in addition, a certain prestige that was coveted because of its rarity. The special privilege award made by the Post Office De- partment at Washington, D. C. to THE MICROMETER, February 13, 1922, was the first of its kind made to ariy scholastic journal in the Ohio Valley, and so far as that is concerned, one of the few grants awarded throughout the country. In the May issue of 1922, which was the last published by this jun- ior class staff, appeared the emblemiof the North Central Association of High School journaiists, a group of the most representative high school journals in the Middle West, organized for the interchange of ideas. For the first time in the history of the Institute, awards in the form of a miniature, gold, micrometer pin were given to those who had rendered meritorious service. The policy of this staff had been to make each issue better than its predecessor. Such a policy resulted in the May issue being the best MICROMETER, both as to appearance and contents, published at that time in the history of the journal. .11 In the fall of 1922 a staff meeting was held, and the following mem- bers from the preceding year were elected on the new staE of THE MICROMETER for the year 1922-23: H. Hilman Smith, Jr., editor, and James J. Campbell, associate of staff of 1921-22, were elected jointly as editors. John E. Schuster, circulation and athletic editor of the preceding year, as associate and exchange editor. Mr. Schuster in addition to this handled the athletic department in a manner that will be hard to excel. This nucleus, left from the year before, was in- creased by the addition of Joseph J. Jorling, Jr., in the position of business manager; Reba Louise Morton in charge of the circulation, and Joseph G. Weber as junior associate editor. The first number of the eleventh volume of THE MICROMETER appeared on Halloween. Its striking cover created quite a sensation. The page size was materially increased, thereby enhancing; the artistic value of the publication considerably. Expense was no ob- ject when cover paper was purchased. We had been wonderfully supported by the student body in the way of subscriptions and con- tributions. Much credit is justly due to Miss Reba Morton for her unfiagging spirit in garnering every possible subscription. Her work in this division of the journal was of the same sterling quality as that of Miss Anne J. Oesterlein, who in capacity of circulation manager the year before, so capably pulled us out of our financial muck. Commendation must be given to Miss Morton for her efficiency in the management of the distribution division of her department, for though an excellent issue of a magazine may be published, its whole effect can be speedily lost by inefficient and careless distribution. Three days before Christmas appeared the second issue of THE MICROMETER with a cover that was without an equal either in the history of THE MICROMETER or in that of any other Cincinnati scholastic publication. This cover was the design of Miss Gruna Rubin. It was by no means the only hit of her work in the journal. To much credit cannot be given to Miss Rubin for her excellent executions and the enthusiasm she has displayed in the artistic features of the journal. That her cover design on this issue was so admirably reproduced is due to the effort of Mr. D. S. Bonner, head of the Department of Printing. This cover was a signal achievement of three-color work done by his department and was of such quality as to excite most favorable com- ment thioughout the country. The account of the first journalistic con- vention attended by THE MICROMETER, tepiesented by H. H. Smith, ' Jr. and Jos. G. Weber,he1d at Mari- etta, Ohio, Novembei 17- 18, appeaied in this issue. Much benefit was de- rived from this convention, for many things were learned that were later used in THE MICROMETER in bet tering it. A description of this number would not be complete without men- tioning the fact that the December issue was the largest in size that had yet appeared, being 56 pages. This increase was made necessary by the publication of an unusual illustrated article on Founderst and Memorial Day by Louis Mueller, the illustrations again being news- paper cuts lent by the Cincinnati press. J. G. WERE The February number was the strongest in literary contributions to date. Its cover design, the work of a student of the Department of Lithography, Homer Crumrine, attracted favorable comment. March brought forth another increase in size, this time to 64 pages, This issue was chuck full of newsy, well-illustrated articles and stories. The frontispiece by Miss Margaret Kratzer, enhanced the artistic value of the publication. The department notes were exceptionally well done, and the steady consistent Work of Mr. A. G. Decatur, in Charge of the alumni, stood out quite prominently. This issue, being- the last direct work of the senior class of 23, might well be termed the Senior Numher, since the actual work .of the journal H. H. SMXTH -THE 0. M. I.

This issue witnessed the insignia of the Central Inter-scholastic Press Association on the editorial page. Membership in such an organization is in keeping with the progressive policy adopted by THE MICROMETER. A resume of the history of THE MICROMETER would not be complete in any respect without due tribute to Mr. Charles W. Boeb inger and Miss Marion C. Noble. Mr. Boebinger was in charge of all funds and the payment of bills. More cannot be said for his watchful- ness than that we finished the year with a surplus instead of a debt, and our credit rating is AAAl anywhere. To Miss Noble, belongs the much-deserved credit for .a publica- tion that was superior to a great many others with respect to English, composition, honest-to-goodness literary value, and good taste. Every bit of copy that went into the book was carefully read by her, mistakes were corrected, and excellent friendly criticism was Cheer- fully given. It was she who made suggestions that increased the appearance and literary value of the book threefold, and the staff of 1922-23 as a whole and as individuals wish to extend to Miss Noble their sincere and deep appreciation of the great service she has rendered. It is interesting to note that this executive staE has successfully piloted THE MICROMETER over the journalistic shoals without a single change in the personnel. There are two reasons for this first, as systematic program was carefully mapped out long before the opening of the fall term, and secondly, co-operation and teamwork made a perfect journalistic machine. Because of the increased studies acquired by the seniors in their fourth year, it was unanimously agreed that the position of editor should be handled by two people who were in complete accord with each other editorially. It was also agreed that in order to insure a satisfactory publication in the year following, the best editorial prospect of the junior class was to be initiated into the mysteries of journalism under the name of Junior Associate Editor. This plan has developed so well that the May issue, 1923, of THE MICROMETER was turned over to Mr. Weber and his associates to edit and publish under the guidance of the senior staff. The success of the May number gratifies the present staff in that they feel that their work and development will not only be maintained but will undoubtedly be carried further and that a better MICROMETER will result. That interest and enthusiasm might be kept going at a strong pace it was decided to place THE MICROMETER pin award on a standardized basis. The standards were set by a committee composed of the two faculty advisers and the editor of THE MICROMETER. This committee decided that pins should be conferred but once on the same person and perferably in their final year. The staff members who received pins last year were H. Hilman Smith, Jr., editor; James J. Campbell, associate, and John E. Schuster, circulation. The year found two of the staff eligible for this coveted award, Miss Reba Morton. circulation, and Joseph Jorling, business manager. In view of the forgoing it may be considered that the success of THE MICROMETER in the past two years has been due to a spirit of co-operation and good fellowship. Petty jealousies have never shown themselves; willingness of a staff member to assist in another members department and complete understanding between the editors have done much toward making the 1922-23 volume of THE MICROMETER the best yet published. -H.

Jr. THE In the past eight years five annuals have been published by the graduating classes of the Institute. The three missing links, the annuals of 16, 17, and 19 were occasioned by a lack of funds. Since 1919 the annual has made its appearance regularly every May. Last year for the first time the Micrometer Annual, as it was then called, was published, not by The Micrometer Staff, but by an entirely different staff which was composed of graduates alone. The separate staff scheme was not only a good idea, but an essential arrangement iinancially as well as practically. The annual, as we ail know, is not a Micrometer publication, but an O. M. I. publication. For this reason the staff as well as repre- sentative students felt that a new name was needed, one that would convey a meaning representative of the school. The name Omia was suggested by Earl C. Snow in an open con- test conducted for the purpose of determining a new name. This word is derived from the Ohio Mechanics Institute Annual and is pronounced 0-miua, accent on the first syllable. Beginning with the sixth volume, our annual is to be known as The Omia. In summarizing the annual of this year, three major achievements may be noted. First a name has been found that means much and is original. There is no other publication in the country that would be confused with ours, for it is strictly O. M. 1. Second, a fabrikoid stiff cover has been used, and the size and style of the annual returned to the traditional standard of 15. This OMIA cover design, which has been approved by the faculty and students. when standardized, will be a great asset to The 0mia. Such a move- ment will also aid in strengthening the traditions of the Institute. The third and greatest achievement of all, upon which our success depended, was gaining the interest and co-operation of every depart- ment of the school. Members of the faculty, class representatives, and the entiie student body deserve the highest praise for their support and contributions to the cause. This book would have been a dismal failure without the unselfish support rendered by the Institute as a whole, from President Faig throughout the organization. It was the aim of the staiT of 23 to publish the best annual in the history of the Institute and to attempt to establish a system, Which has not been possible in previous issues because of the diverse interest of a widely separated student body, so that those who come after will be able to devote more attention to the editorial end, thereby expanding each year. In view of the promising underclassmen, we believe that nothing done by the graduating classes in the interest of student activities has been in vain. The work will be carried on and carried to the highest degree of perfection. itFor every good man that is lost? we are told, iia better one takes his placefy It is needless, we feel, to expound the purpose of this book. We are proud of the Institute and proud to be among her graduates. We hope The Omia conveys that impression. James J. Campbell. BASKETBALL TEAM x 1 Standing: AV Borremn: J. Venn; Coach Roth: R. Weiglein: P. Hennessy. Sitting: 1!. Vm'uhagen: F.. Dorsey; J. Jorlingz; J. Schuster; T. Talley ATHLETICS The Institute basketball team has had a fairly successful season, winning eight out of fifteen games of which two of the games could hardly be termed defeats as the teams that we played were completely out of our class. We started the season at a rather fast clip, winning our nrst four games. Then, due to overconfidence, we hit a rut and dropped our next three games. We recovered sumciently to break even on the remainder of the games, winning four and losing four. A glance at the number of points our team scored as compared with the number that our opponents scored will show that we made a hundred more than they did. Most of our defeats were tough ones, losing by merely a point. 01' two. The Milford game we lost by one point, fifteen to fourteen. Twice we lost by two points: to Nurwood. nineteen t0 seventeen, and to Hughes, nine to seven; and We dropped another to Norwood by three points, twenty-eight to twenty-five. The fact that only one team succeeded in scoring as much as thirty points against us speaks well for our guards, while our forwards got in some of their gool work by running up between twenty-flve and thirty-flve points in more than half our games. Our season has been a most successful one if you consider the fact that we had very little team work and that when we went out on the floor we had a team 40f five men who knew basketball from A to Z, but who played with a lack of co-operation. We knew that Dorsey was a good shot and tried to feed him, but if he wasnt able to make more points than the opposing team, we lost. This fact was evidenced in the University of Cincinnati Tournament when we met the big Hughes Five. No one knew where the other was, and Hughes had such a splendid defense that we could not get close enough to the baSket and had to content ourselves with long shots at which we were sadly deficient. We lost by a score of nine to seven. Taking it all into consideration, we did very well, for we picked on the biggest and best teams in the city and barred no team of fair and square athletes.

Dorsey tforwardieEd was a valuable member to last year's squad, but he was even more so to this yeafs team. He is one of the speediest men that anyone may wish to see on a basket-ball floor, and was good at caging the ball, running up more than twice as many points as any other man on the team. His name was in the line-up every game. Hennessy tguardigPat was a speedy player, but he had a failing of trying for a long shot. He is a good man to set a pace and speed up the team. Jorling tguardi-Joe, our captain, is a veteran of last years squad and is our old standby. He jumped Center, but as soon as the ball was in play, he came back and played standing guard. He was, however, by no means as stationary as the term standing implies, for he had a way of planting himself in front of incoming forwards that made them think they had hit a brick wall. This is his last year in the school and on the squad, so the team of next year will certainly miss this itbackbone'i 0f the team. Schuster tguardt eBud was also a man from last years squad. Although Bud,is not very tall, what he lacks in height he makes up in width, and the width is all muscles. The opposing teams al- ways found Bud to be where they least expected him. His fioor work was a pleasure to look upon. Bud graduates this year, and next years squad is going to lose one of the best running guards ever seen at the Institute. Talley tforwardi-Reported for practice early in the season and by constant plugging assured himself a position on the team. He played a hard game and was good at short shots. His experience this year ought to make him a valuable asset to the team of next year. Venn tforwardi-He did not have much of a chance to show his skill, but proved that he is made of the right stuff by sticking by the team throughout the year. He ought to make a good side partner for Talley next year. Vornhagen tforwardysPinkey had a mania for long shots, and he was good at them too. He worked beside Dorsey and put many a thrill into the audience by his sensational long shots. Weiglein tguardieRalph ran the center of the iioor after Jorling came back to play guard. He was good at passing, but had the tough- est luck with his shots, for they invariably rolled around the basket a few times and then dropped out. Wilson tcenteri-George is a Power Laundry co-operative student and couldnt be present at the most of the games, but in those that he did play his weight was a considerable advantage to the team. John E. Schuster Jos. J. Jorling' ALUM NI ASSOCIATION The Alumni Association of the Ohio Mechanics Institute has been organized for some years and was, until recently, under the leadership of Mr. C. W. Luhn of the class of ,02. Activities of the Association were discontinued with the coming of the war, and little or nothing was done until last year at the commencement dinner. There the As- sociation was revived by the naming of a committee which was in- structed to prepare for and call a meeting of the alumni. This com- mittee consisted of Albert Erkins, chairman, Ernst Richter, Howard Ecker, J12, S. A. Johnson, Luke Harig, and C. H. Perry. After several committee meetings, the first meeting was called and held on the night of Nov. 15, in the tea room of the Institute. Mr. Luhn presided over the meeting, and a new and important chapter was written in the history of the Association. The constitution, Which was prepared by the committee, was voted upon and passed. Thus the reorganization was begun, and an execu- tive council of nine was chosen as the constitution provided. Mr. Albert Erkins was elected president for the year 1922e23. Stand- ving committees on membership, finance, and entertainment were named. The executive council and the three standing committees held a joint meeting in the faculty room on the night of Jan. 3. The by-laws had been prepared by a committee and were passed at this meeting. Membership and plans for increasing it were discussed at length. Membership in the Association must be built up, and this is the most important question confronting it today. There are many reasons why we should have an Alumni Association, the most promi- nent one being that it affords an excellent means to former students of continuing social and establishing professional contacts. The O. M. I. is an old and Well established school, and offers courses not to be found elsewhere in the country. That every former student of the O. M. I. will be proud to become a member of the Alumni Asso- ciation goes without saying. There are plenty of graduates and former students scattered over this country and in other countries who are eligible to join this Association. It is surprismg to note how many prominent men of this country have been students at the O. M. I. And in Cincinnati if you should chance to mention that you have at tended the O. M. I., it is not an uncommon occurrence to have the per- son whom you tell this say that he also attended the O. M. I. at one time or another. Last year one hundred and four students graduated from the various courses of the Institute. Many of these students left for different parts of the country to take positions of various kinds. The fact that they are separated makes it more necessary that they belong to the Association, but at the same time this fact also makes it hard to get in touch with them. We readily see that with a class as large as this, or nearly 50, joining our alumni each year, there is no reason why the membership in the Association should not mount to large figures. The most important act of the Association was the provision in the constitution for the publishing of a bulletin four times a year.. A bulletin committee and staff were named, and already two copies have been printed. The bulletin is an excellent means of keeping the members informed of the activities of the Association, occurrences at the school in which they are interested, and affords a means of mem- bers getting into touch with each other. The Alumni Association is still young, and its membership is not yet large. If you are not already a member, you should send in your application. If you are already a member, you should urge every former student with whom you can get in touch to send in his appli- cation. eAlfred G. Decatur THE OHIO MECHANICS INSTITUTE RIFLE CLUB Americans, since before our great nation was conceived, have been fine rifle shots. This fact was demonstrated to the world, and especially to England, at Lexington, Massachusetts, 1775 when the pride of England's army was chased back to Boston by a handful of farmers armed with flintlocks. The reputation was established at Bunker Hill, when every Shot left a gap in the ranks of the Red Coats. And so on to the present day. Last year the' United States Olympic Team returned from Europe, victors, having defeated the worldts best. When President Wilson sent out the call for volunteers to leave their pursuit to shoulder a rifle in defence of the worldts peace, about one million answered, and by the time the Armistice Was signed, over four million men had donned the olive drab and more than half that number were in France. Some had plenty of rifle practice ever there, with human beings as targets, and some did not have enough, but practically all of them became familiar with fire- arms, and liked to shoot. So in 1919 a few Federal Board students at O. M. I. aided by a member of the faculty, Mr. Stanley Runck, who is a great lover of the sport, got into communication with the Director of Civilian Markmanship, W'ashington, D. C., having in view the organization of a rifle club at this school. They received instructions, and With the consent of President John T. Faig; and the Board of Directors of O. M. I. built in the sub-basement 0f the Institute building a range that has no equal in Cincinnati. Application was made to the United States War Departmnt for the necessary rifles, ammu- nition, targets, target carriers, etc., and upon receipt of these sup plies everything was in readiness for firing. The purpose of the club was to stimulate interest in rifle and pistol shooting among the civilian students, and to give the Service men an opportunity to meet on equal grounds after classes where all were more familiar with their subjects than they were in the class rooms. The American Olympic Pistol Team Won Championship of World at Olympic Games 1920 with Remington Metallic Cartridges STANDARD 20-YARD REVOLVER AND PISTOL TARGET SCORE L She? with Smifh a Wess- NAME Earl h g QCRQQL'L DATE r I DISTANCE Mr About two hundred men were members of the club the first year, and nothing could have been more conducive to good fellowship and fraternalization than this club. The ochers elected the first year were: R. W. Taylor, president; B. M. Trew, secretary; E. 0. Evans, treasurer; Mr. Stanley Runck, range oHicer. B. M. Trew left school shortly after this election, and A. G. Decatur finished the year as secretary. The second year the same men were again elected and served diligently and faithfully. The third year was much harder, as so many men had left School, new men coming in, and studies were getting harder for the men who stayed, thus leaving less time for rifle practice. The civilian stud- ents showed no desire to take up the sport. But at a meeting of the Club in Whetstone Hall, September 18, 1923, officers were elected and resolutions to carry on were adopted. The omcers elected were: Mr. Stanley Runck, president; Edward Ottensmeyer, Vice-president; Burl Mansberger, treasurer; Mr. John M. Russ, rahge officer, a member of the faculty; Earl L, Jackson, sec- retary. Ammunition was requisitioned and issued, and firing resumed. Some excellent shooting was done by Mr. Russ, using a Smith KL Wes- son 38-caliber, D. A. revolver. He has Jesse James, Bill Hart, and all the other old-time gun slingers backed off the range. We are all thankful that he doesnlt shoot math at us in the man- ner that he throws lead at the targets. We feel that the club has done a good work in bringing together men who do not meet in class and who probably Would remain strang- ers to each other if it was not for their common love of shooting. Of the sport itself, we could write a book, and not do justice to our subject, but we feel that the sport is so well known, we shall say only that, in our opinion, it has no equal, indoors 01' in the fields. In closing, we wish to add that our only regret is that so few civilian studentsl names appear on our roll, and that we desire more hearty co-operation from them next year. They will never regret a moments time spent on the range, for we know that once taken up, the sport will always retain their enthusiasm. Earl L.

Then for lack of something to do, they examined a few old posters that were made by the wonder- ful students of the year before. Gradually the old students strolled in, late as usual, gave the poor new comers the once over and without a word of welcome stuck their noses in the air and walked to their desks. Bored! Well, Pll say they looked it. HOhl where are all the old students? This place is deadf kept running through their minds. The new students, standing on one foot and then on the other, trying to look important, waited anxiously for Mr. Boebinger tor was it pronounced Bobinger'n At last our lives were saved when Mr. Boebinger came in and started us on the drawing of the box. 011, how thrilling! The box did not seem to impress any of us, but work we did just the same. Silence in the studioehang! A door opened and shut. In breezed a young man whom we later found to be Earl Edwards, the cut-up of the studio. He shouted twe jumpedl. ttKeep your seats, girls. tWVell, what kind of fellow is this; hope he isnt here all the time, we all thought. But we soon got used to him. In fact we miss him very much now he has left us. Gradually the old students dropped their bored look when they found we were not such bad sports. We new students began to feel at home. Now just look at the fun we have together with our studio parties, a valentine party, and all the other good times. After Xmas vacation we were all glad to get back, and oh, how much work we planned to do. Some of it got done and some didnltt Arguments, usually with Mr. Dvorak in the lead, on all subjects were the excuses for the other work not getting done. When all is said and done, there is really only one tplacelethe studio. We now have with us: Gruna Rubin, the most popular girl, always raving over someone like Barbara La Marr and Ramon Navarro. Hal. Miller, our all-around student; also the syncopated jazz player. Lee Ovendon, the dancing fool, who is also getting to be an expert making ham and egg signs. How do you spell frankfurter, Lee? Mr. Driskell, the U. S. Veteian animated cartoon artist; also the papa of the studio. Earl Hopper, the Rodolph of the studio; always working hard CU Cecilia Thelan, who never says a word, but who believes in the milk wash. Mr. Dvorak, the studio adviser. Bee and Mickey, the everlasting gigglers; always in trouble. Louis Hemsath, the man of the studio. Virginia Ellis, our vogue model, Who has just returned to us.

The Class has continued to grow from the very beginning and at present there are approximately 35 to 40 girls enrolled. Many beautiful materials are being made up, to be worn thruout the summer. While King Tut seems to predominate, the vari-colored lighter fabrics have not lost their popularity and the blouses and capes also come in for their share. ' I should say that the Sewing Course at 0. M. I. has done more to induce early rising than any known project. For awhile it was all the style to arrive anywhere from 9 A. M. on indefinitely, but then the two Swings began to arrive about 8:50. This was too much for Estelle Frick, so she began to arrive about 8:40. Then Louise Gar- funkle comes so seldom and has so much to do when she does come, that she schedules her arrival for 8:30. Anna Marie Marmet began to think it necessary to help open the building, so you can see what 0. M. I. has accomplished. One certainly can hear all the gossip and news of the day if she only keeps her ears open. We all have just heard that Jane Sullivan decided to wait until September, but was married Monday, April 30 She and her husband are spending their honeymoon in California where they will stay until September. Lucy Draper has just announced her engagement to Mr. Max Fuller but they do not intend to be married until the late fall or early Winter. Ruth Ulland is to be married to Mr. Lane Todd on the 16th of May and is now very busy and occupied With a round of entertain- mg. Guida Marx, Virginia Kemper Larson, Dorothy Hay and Dorothy Wilson make their appearance fairly regularly, but Gertrude Win- disch and Ruth Cooper have been missed the last month, during which time they have been in the East, shopping and visiting. Laura May Wilson, Ruth Wilson, Hazel Dixon and Geneva Schwartz come down every once in awhile, while Laura Pounsford, Helen Hoffman, Sue Jane Stanage and Mary Hinsch are some of the regulars. If you see Johnny haunting the 5th hoor, you can be pretty sure Molly is at work. Reba Morton divides her time between the Mike office and the 5th floor and altho Cecil Smith has not been around for some time, she is contemplating getting down to work again next week. Beatrice Dyer has not been down lately, but Mickey Lockwood and Marjorie Diehl are making their whole summer outfit. eCharlotte Muhlhauser ROMANCE ? ARZ'IIITEC'I'UHAL STRUCTURAL d1 w . 1w.

McDonough Adolph Kirchner Another year has rushed by, and we pause a moment to think of what we have accomplished. Of the men who entered upon their studies with this class, Septem- ber 2, 1921, only two remain to graduate. We look around us, and by counting the empty desks and by deep concentration we are able to re- member a number of faces and some of the names of the twenty-eight men who were forced to drop along the trail. Some left on account of sickness and were sent to hospitals, east, west, north, and south. Some were not fitted by nature or inclination to achieve success in this line of work. On account of time spent in the hospitals, one of the twenty- eight has been put back with the next class to graduate. But the two men who go out into the business world in June to enter again into competition with their fellowmen will do so, knowing that they are well fitted for the work by reason of the time and effort spent in this school. Because of the fact that all of the men enrolled in this course are Veteransy Bureau trainees, it is doubly hard to graduate a class of any size. The disabilities which have been incurred by these men make school work a drudge and an impossibility at times. But we hope that this class will make up in enthusiasm and ambition what it lacks in size. An example is ever before our minds in Mr. Thomas W. Peters, Who graduated in l22, and who now is employed by the Harig Construc- tion Co. and has made good. The aid of the government and the education that has been given us at this school is deeply appreciated, and it is the fervent prayer of the class that we shall justify the faith shown in us and ever be a credit to our school. -Earl L. Jackson SECOND YEAR MACHINE DESIGN. Our class approaches the completion of the school-year with but seven of its original fifteen members remaining. Eight of our men have harkened to the promptings of ambition and have gone out to assume their share of responsibilties in a busy world. On the other hand we were recently reinforced by the addition of six capable young men from the first year class; thus bringing our class back to its original numerical strength. Those of us who are leaving in June do so with the one regret that the pleasant associations we have enjoyed can not be kept up forever. But the pleasant recollections are forever ours, and if by chance Dame Fortune should favor us in the days to come, We shall not be so unappreeiative as to deny full credit and acknowledgment to those whose effort have helped us win success.

They were under the impression that the picture was for the roguesi gallery because it was taken on the court-house steps, and some of them didnt care about having their mugs on exhibition.

Doc.- During a quiz. W xxx One of the CFuJo Hundred A phenomenon occurred this morning, April 23, 1923, that will probably cause this date to go down in the history of the Ohio Mech- anic,s Institute as one of extraordinary importance. In fact, the stu- dents have asked President Faig to declare April 23 a school holiday in the future. He has given them no definite answer as yet, but I understand that he has ordered a large box of blue chalk, and no doubt the walls of the Institute will be decorated for some time to come with this color. The phenomenon was, that after two years' attendance I finally arrived at school in time to hear the b-r-r-r-n-g of the eight-thirty bell. The only explanation of my mistake that I can give is that pos- sibly my watch was fast, or that the school clock had overslept. The latter rea- son is probably the correct one, for I have noticed in my two years at this school that l a their infernal clock always loses about Vt: i , , , E thirty minutes in the morning and gains 1t t1 during the dinner hour. However, the fact I slipped stealthily up remains that when I entered the hall this the smrSI-m morning and glanced at the clock, I saw, to my horror, that it was only twenty minutes past eight. I slipped stealthily up the stairs, instead of using the elevator, for I knew that Bill, the elevator man, would notice my mistake at once. Having reached the third floor without being recognized, I be- gan to hope that I could get into the class room unnoticed. But I was mistaken. Absolutely nothing else but. I still think I could have got by with it had it not been for Emil Schmitt. If Schmitt knew more about algebra and trig, and less about the habits of the other students, I am sure he would get along better. Smitty saw me as I sneaked through the doorway, and he let out a yell of surprise. Luckily, before Mr. Felton, our algebra instructor, came in, we were able to revive Royce and Monte by carrying them to the Window, opening it, and letting the fresh ten-above-zero breeze blow gently across their horrified countenances. By the way, one cold morning in December, through some mis- understanding on the part of the janitor, the heat had been turned off in our class room, and Mr. Felton dismissed the class on account of the extreme cold. When he came in this morning and saw the win- dows open, he jumped straight up in the air and howled, What do you fellows do; come around here at six delock and open all the win- dows expecting me to dismiss the class on account of the roomts being cold? Nothing doing; youlll stay in here now if you freeze. All of you close your books; we will have a test. I tried to explain the situation to him, but he insisted that we had opened the windows just in order to get out of a period of class work. Now wouldntt that get your goat? But that is the way with these instructors. Whenever they get sore at the fellows, they stick the class with an exam and two or three extra hours of night work. Mr. Felton then proceeded to write a quiz on the blackboard; after which he left the room. I suppose he went down to the library where there is always warmtheand a pretty librarian. About the time we were half finished with the exam, the bell rang, and we all trooped into the Room 2R for trigonometry. If I had lived in ancient times when trig was invented, I probably would have been convicted of murder and would have been guillotined. I frequently have a desire to choke Mr. Russ, our trig instructor. He has one redeeming trait, however; he is a great hunter, and often when he speaks of having a test, we can miss it by getting him to tell about some of his hunting trips. When he starts talking about hunting Goons or foxes, he is good for the period. When we entered the room, things looked as though we were in for it. Mr. Russ was busily engaged in cleaning off the blackboard, and we knew what to expect. OIConner found an opening and said, uSay, Mr. Russ, can a circle be square, and if so, how much 1w Mr. Russ turned around slowly and gazed pitingly at OIConner, ttHow can you ask such a question as that?u he answered. Well, O,C0nner came back, If a circle has ten square feet in it, why canuc it be squareTI After fifteen minutes of heated argument, OtConner reluctantly ads mitted that a circle could be absolutely nothing else but round. That left us thirty minutes, and Mr. Russ started writing the first question on the black- board. nMr. Russ, did you ever go fishing in the winter, when you had to cut a hole in the ice and let the line sink down through it? asked Taney. IINo, I never did? Mr. Russ an- swered. HAnd, furthermore, we are going to have a test; so you fellows can just imagine that there is a hole in your head through which these questions can sink; then you can fish for the answer!' And he went on writing. Things looked gloomy. I had given up and started to work the first problem, when Townsley came to the rescue and asked, HMr. Russ, wili a good coon dog track any animal other than a coon? Mr. Russ turned quickly away from the blackboard, put the piece of chalk he had been using behind his ear, and said, iINo, sir! At least I would venture to say that a good coon dog wouldntt. HI diant know, Townsley answered, gbut one time when I was I tried to explain to the old fellow-I' down in the Kentucky Mountains, I went out on a coon hunt with some friends. We hired six negroes who owned some good coon dogseat least they said the dogs were good ones. The moon came up about ten oIclock, and we started out shortly afterwards? Mr. Russ, who had been standing with an expectant look on his face, sank slowly down into his chair, put his feet up on his desk and similed contentedly. HWe left the house and started up a ravine, Townsley continued, and in a short time one of the dogs struck a trail. In a few seconds the entire pack was running with him and howling at every jump. They were headed up the mountain side and going strong. After an hour's climb we caught up with the dogs and found them congregated about a large tree with their noses pointed Skyward and singing a regular concert. ItWe tried to locate the coon from the ground, but he was too well hidden. The crowd stood around for awhile waiting for him to expose him- self, but I guess he must have been comfortable, for he never moved. Finally, getting tired of waiting, I set my gun down and taking a small ax from one of the negroes, I started climbing the tree. ttThe limbs were some distance apart, and this made climbing dimcult. I had worked my way up to a big limb about fifty feet from the ground and was reaching for another limb above my head when I heard a rustling in the branches behind me. I turn- ed, and there was Mr. Coon, at least I thought so at first, but upon closer examination I found that it wasnIt a coon at all. No, indeed! It was as pretty a wild cat as I have ever had occasion to deal with, and I will add that he seemed to grow larger the longer I gazed at him. I tried to explain the mistake to the old fellow, but he diant seem to catch the exact meaning; of my explanation; rather, he seemed to think I was flirting with him. He just stood and glared at me. Its a won- der I didntt shove the top out of that tree the way I backed up against the body of it. dThe fellows 0n the ground must have heard me talking, for one of the negroes shouted, tShake ,im out, boss, shake 'im out; don, yo all go any try to hold Iim up thar; drap ,im down heahf lTll tell the world that I wasn't trying to hold him; nothing like it. He couldn't ldrapl soon enough to please me. I tinally got tired of talking to the old boy and took a kick at him. He made a swipe at my foot with his claWS and lost his hold on the limb. itWell, he hit the ground right in the middle of the crowd, and before I could move, four negroes passed me, going; towards the top of the tree. That was some commotion. I started down the tree and- B-r-r-r-n-g, went the bell that ended the period, also the story. Mr. Russ was so excited that he forgot to give out any night work. We gave Townsley a standing vote of thanks when We got out in the ball; then went into Mr. Roberts room for electricity. Mr. Roberts was giving a lecture on the peculiarity of a shunt- wound motor; so, not being interested, I slipped out and went into the tin shop. Mr. Alford is the nabob in that room. He is a collector and critic of Egyptian Curios and an authority on the history of ancient Egypt. I often drop in to examine his pictures of Egypt--most of them are cut out of the Sunday supplementseand hear him tell about the Life of King Tutti. I notice this morning that he was wearing another new cap. I wonder where he gets them. One of the boys was mean enough to suggest that Mr. Alford was wearing the cap to advertise a Fifth Street hat store. Finally, getting tired of history, I went back into Mr. Roberts, room, and, as he was still winding the motor, I fell asleep and was blissfully unconcious until the period ended. The next hour I devoted to art. At least I spent that period in the art class. I am not really studying art at all; the truth of the matter is that I am trying to solve the mystery that surrounds a pair of glasses. You see, the art instructor, Mr. Boebinger, always has a pair of glasses parked on top of his head. For just what purpose he carries them, no one has so far been able to decide, but I have picked up a good clue. Yesterday, during the period, he took me out in the hall to explain the meaning of perspective. He held his hand up in front of him, pulled the glasses down on his nose, and measured off the of a dooreat the other end of the hall-on his thumb-nail. Then he put his glasses back in their accustomed parking place and explained in detail how many times his thumb-nail would go into a door nearer at hand. I tried to work the problem out later by algebra, but as I could not find any formula in which a door could be divided up into thumb-nails, I naturally came to the conclusion that the glasses had something to do with perspective. About eleven-thirty, Driskell, our noted cartoonist, asked what time it was. This happened so near the same time every day that I always tell him without looking. Then the exodus began. Miss Rubin led the parade; shortly afterward Miss Williams began to realize that even an art student must eat. The others dropped out one by one until, by the time the eleven-fifty bell rang, the studio was as empty as Smittyls cranium. I always love to hear that bell. It is followed by a rush for the dining room. I donlt know -xx why the students rush through the hall in such an undignified iIl-Ie explained how many times his manneriit doesnit mean anything; thumb-nail would go into the door . for we have to stand in line for at least thirty minutes before getting; served. The wait has its advan- tages, however, as we always hear the topics of the day cussed and discussedeusually by Earl Snow. There is also plenty of free criticism on the instructors and the poor manner in which the school is being conducted. Upon entering the dining room one never fails to observe a young couple, who, all by themselves, occupy a large table near the center door. I wouldn't mention any names, not for the world, but -about 12:54V2 the seniors combine in a home run slidee Du Brul will probably know to whom I refer. For the past few weeks, Bill Schanson, millionaire newshoy and Itbear of the Sophomore class, has been eating with us. He has changed his favorite remark of these guys make me sick to Ilthese pies make me sick. After lunch, we all go down stairs and crowd around the front entrance. We often block the front doorway, but no one seems to mind the inconvenience, especially Mr. McDiarmid tMr. Macl the Hgrand old gentleman 0f the Institutef He is always ready with his, HHow do you do, gentlemen, and his cheery smile as he passes in or out. As it was raining today, Koehler tCuteyl came down to exercise his marcel wave. He claims that he gets it from standing in the rain. No doubt he tells the truth; I am sure I wouldnlt accuse him of put- ting a curling iron on his hair. Oh, 110! When Mr. Richard tSir Dickyl came back from lunch-he doesn : eat at the school; he has Itlunchh at liThe VVheellteseveral of the Sen- iors, Who were standing in the entrance, accused him of doping the candy that he had left in his desk that morning. I knew that Mr. Richard had a sweet tooth and ate candy all day, but I never would have thought him guilty of such a mean trick. Illl bet the Seniors will buy their own candy in the future. Just before the bell rang, Mr. Johnston tRedl and Mr. Tatum UVIike Angelol came strolling out 'Walnut Street. By the way, the boys would like to know where Mr. Johnston goes for his mid-morning smoke. They say he just has to have it. Mr. Tatum, as usual, was reading The Memphis Commercial Appealfl He claims it to be the largest paper ill the South. Thatls all right, HTate.u In German mon- ey a one-hundred mark note looks like a sign-board, but it doesnit mean anything. We are allowed five minutes to get to the Class room after the twelve-flfty bell rings and we take full advantage of those five min- utes. About fifty-four and a half minutes after twelve the chemistry class combines in a home-run slide from the elevator to the chemical laboratory, where Mr. Ecker gives a lecture on chemistry. We are supposed to go there to hear the lecture, but in reality we go to gaze in awe upon Mr. Ecker's old-rose-colored socks. I understand that Mr. Ecker was one time experimenting with certain chemicals, endeavoring to discover a new loud explosive. The formula he finally arrived at did not turn out to be an explosive, but it did make a good dye, old-rose in color. In a way the experiment was a huge suceess, for the color was loud enough t for anyonets taste. Mi, The lecture is usually over H il I before the period ends, and as I L ii :1 leave the room I always notice the second-year intensive men t iim crowding around the door of the physics room. Mr. Muncy, who is a fine, jolly, and very talk- ative man, is instructor in that department. He must have something interesting in that room to cause the fellows to crowd around in such a manner. The machine-design room in on the same hoor, and I go in there for the last period of the day. I enjoy watching Mr. Frey, who is the instructor in design- ing. He is full of action as Billy Sunday at a prohibition meeting. One afternoon while he was giv- ing a talk on bevel gears, I counted the times he crossed the room, and, after figuring up the distance, found that he had walked just three miles'in thirty-five minutes. Fresndeh+5 Office w 'J If I can get by President Faig with- out being caught- . Well, it will be only fifteen minutes until the last bell rings. As it has been a busy day, and'I hate to be the last one out, I think I shall leave. If I can get past the office without President Faig catching me, I shall be on my way. Gee! but this is a hard life. eW. W. Prine. HOW,S THIS ONE? One day Susan Jane Stanage driving her car looked both ways before pulling away from the curb. Three t3i traffic cops, five t5i ordinary policemen, nine GD truck drivers, thirteen UFO pedestrians, and USU men driving machines dropped dead. Mr. Ecker: Late again, Schuster. Bud: Not a word, Doc, so am 1. Cop: ttSay, whaddaya think yer doin? This is a one-way Street.
