As the library grew, that posi- tion was given to a trainerl librarian, and Miss Kreclrer took over the organization of the supply store. OFFICE MRS.

ERWIN B. WILMER Philadelphia, Penna. Girard College 30 years at P.T.l. Instructor in Power Weaving Tacturn proponent of the shirt sleeve hand-in-the- grease school. Wilmer's reference to the loom as a Loon is we feel a sly attack on the credibility of the under graduate. Able master of the power loom in all its forms, he does his best to drive the shuttle of knowl- edge with its filling of facts into tl1e tight warps of his studenfs minds. A Welcome We take pleasure in using this space to welcome back Mr. Ereal Kaiser. For the past six years Mr. Kaiser has been on leave of absence from P.T.l. during which time he was employed by the Wai' Department, working as a consultant and then technologist with the Engineer- ing Division, Research Development in Textiles, at ,lef- fersonville, Indiana. Mr. Kaiser is a member of the class of 1920. For eighteen years prior to 1942 he was an instructor in the Jacquard Department and Director of Athletics. He is well known by his favorite expression 'LGet that pill. 27

TAFE tlf, some day, you should hear a tremendous crash 'll k , you now that it is only the library bursting its sides.l Not only the library, but the supply room has grown almost beyond its walls. There is hardly a student who has not spent several hours during the first week of each semester standing ill that never d' l' en mg 1ne for books, papers and other essentials. But Miss Krecker is always calm and in her quiet manner, eventually takes care of all of us. Another spoke in the wheel-the yarn room-is also one of the essentials at P.T.l. Although Katie and Elizabeth lmore formally known as Miss Dalton and Miss McCaughanl are always busy winding and rewinding and keeping things in order. They are never too busy to supply us with the yarns we want, when we want them, and if they have them. Our appreciation also to Mrs. Weaver for her help in our hand-weaving classes. A MISS HAZEL I. HESSER Miss Hesser, the efficient Secretary of the new School Director is not a newcomer at P.T.l.
