were never near enough to see them, l can't forget our three illustrious co-eds the office records show they're here.I Almost two-thirds of these freshman were seeking the coveted shingle of a degree in textile-engineering-a four year course in- stituted back in l94l, but which, for obvious reasons, never received the impetus it de- served until the present sophomore class pro- vided it with the big push. Now We are all convinced the degree is here to stay, and more power to the men who are out to get it. Then there is thc other group of thirty-five 111en, the diploma boys, who cannot wait that extra year before stepping into their ten thousand dollar jobs, and who keep chanting to them- selves, i'Textiles, textiles, just give us tex- tiles. They're gettin' 'em! Last, but not least, let us not forget 'flohnniew Naalfs tnvlfhat have l got this period--two lectures or three? b pride and joy-his fourteen knit- ters. This is the first all knitting course established in the country. tTherc eouldn't be another one like it.QI Here's wishing the best of luck to Professor Naab and his stu- dents-keep knitting the gals those kind of sweaters, fellais! When you pass a classroom and hear the shouts of MTurk, Turk!37 from the class, don't be alarmed, thatis just Burt's way of volun- teering for some job the prof. doesn't want to do. If that was a Chem class, when Prof. Foltz started to explain some complicated organic formula, you could depend on Dave Herrick to help them out by quipping, 'Lctls start out with apples. He has plenty of rooters. If you happen to be one of those who have the courage to brave the smoke of PTl's Den of lniquityf' misnamed the HClub- room, you will be amazed at the goings-on. lt's a safe bet that a character by the name of Willenkin will be yelling Winners. 4l've got Wvinners! This never fails to get a rise out of the other eight or ten Willie Hoppe's ahead of him. The MTwo Musketeers, Frick and Collins, will be there swinging pool sticks at each other after one of them made a beautiful five ball combination on the 'feightw with only fourteen other balls on the table. W'hat's so humorous? Not everyone can make a shot like that. Count on Larry Karlin and Herb Levine to have a firm position be- hind a couple of cues. They're planning on applying their textile knowledge and ope11- ing up a poolhall of their own after gradua- tion. We wish them the best of luck in such an honorable establishment!! All eyes are peeled for Rafe Rashkin and Danny Duhl when they get near a pool table. Their iner- most enjoyment is holding up a game for many a minute while the pool playe1's go into tantrums hunting high and low for the '4Cue- ball. Where is it? Naturally it's snugly resting in one of their pockets. Such practical humor is enjoyed immensely by all con- cerned. Rest assured the unassuming lf?Qt Kenny Wfatson will always pick the right psychological moment, when 'GBuzz-Bomb Reynolds draws a bead on a ball, to yell, Shoot stick! This is always a big help to anyone's game. 'LScratch Sceneshall will give out with the word, too. There's one pool player who really takes the game seriously, though. That's John Fry-it's his reducing exercise. Wfho uses the L'Bridge more than anyone else in the school? None other than Sam Scozzari. t'Big Sam would be lost without it. Un your way out, stop at the first table, and you'll see Bert Lyons playing for dear life in a game Leensored by Mr. Hughes! ball. What we all want to know is -how he 'holds on to that gal friend of his who is actually a co-ed in this seemingly non-co- educational school Ask a prof. sometime what he gets when he calls Klauber or Glauber. That's easy- two ul-lere's. Along a similar vein, we're finally getting the Gross twins fPete and Rcpete are their names fi straightened out, but some fellows donit help matters any when they deliberately call them by the opposite name. fBy the way, which is whiehffb Who's that coming back to school on Wednesday when he had just left the Thursday before? Why, it's h'Long Weekend Riley! His dog had puppies! Now that a non PTI student reader knows so very little about the history of our beloved sophomore class, space tells us to draw to a close. To those of you fortunate enough not to be mentioned in this Hhistoryf' it's not that you a1'e lacking in character- we could say plenty about you, too.

Here we are! It was a long wait to get into this school, but now P. T. I. is ours to conquer. What a silly thought that was. We didn't have to wait long 'til we discovered it worked vice-versa. Chemistry and Algebra soon conquered us-but, letis take the story in order. One hundred and forty strong we marched up the steps of P. T. I. in quest of higher education? lExcuse mc, wrong punct- uationl. As we waited in line to give Mr. Graham our 353535, we were reminded that ours was the largest Freshman Class in the history of the Philadelphia Textile Institute, for the line extended across the front foyer and down into the south wing. Our next move was Hoperation Room 3013 destination, the Supply Room. How many of our com- panions were in that select group who wandered around in the north wing, looking for the Supply Room. Come on you guys- we know what you were looking for. As Miss Krecker handed us our supplies, we very innocently wondered what that large sheet of 8x8 paper Was. We found out, didnit we, Mr. Sproule? Red dots, black dots, raisers, sinkers, 105 uph67 across, etc. Some people will get theirs on ,ludgment Day. At this time we interrupt for a special announce- ment. Flash!! Three students leave school to go into the paper business, claiming there is more money in 8x8 paper than in textiles. Some things we learned the hard way. We remember the first day we were issued a swatch. Diligently we studied it, picked it apart, squared it, and finally weighed it. Three students were excellent mathema- ticians. It soon became evident that their answers were always correct. Now all we have to do is to average their answers, and cut our samples to fit their calculations. Such tricks we learned in a short time lwith apologies to Mr. Giese for his patience in trying to keep us on the right trackl. By the way, what ever happened to that fellow who awoke during one of his lectures yelling, Hworsted, wool, 64's 70's half-blood!lll4T'll never get this darn stuff. This history would never be complete without mention of Dr. Lawrence and his 'fNew highways of College Composition. I wonder how far along the Highway,' some of our eager beavers have progressed? Dr. Lawrence, Did you know how many young and talented ventriloquists there were in your English Class on Fridays between two and three o'clock?', There happened to be a fellow by the name of Cue-ball, or Cube Root or something who was very proficient at answering five or six times. l wonder if Edgar Bergen knows of this competition. What a wonderful discovery the Club Room wasl There, in our spare time fseeond is a better wordl we could relax in the soft easy sofas and breathe the fresh air. This air is the most unusual to be found anywhere in the world. A delightful aroma made up of Luckies, Chesterficlds, Camels, Philip Mor- ris and Old Gold. tApologies to Pop Eagcn for omitting any other fine tobaccos he may ca1'ry in his stock. By the way T wonder who dropped the MNO. 57' pill up in the corridor the other day? Uur little games of pool al- most came to an end. Even though we are the lowly Mfroshw we can boast of a few things that no other class can hold title to. It is fellows like Gene Wfagner, Bill Marshall, Ev Alpert, Vic For- syth and Ed Handman who provided a rous- ing spirit for the basketball squad, who in their first year here furnished the spark for a more successful athletic program at P. T. l. We excel, also in numbers Knot algebra and trigl making an added incentive for the Board of Directors to further their plans for a new school. By the way a new bomb proof lab would be in order as some of our contem- poraries pay no need to labels on acid bottles, causing Professors Hughes and Byler untold headaches. uHow many times have I told you to keep out of that stock room. CA well known dialog between a Chemistry prof. and any Freshman.l When reviewing the Class, we come to the conclusion that We are not altogether help- less. Let us remember that many a Senior learned that a 'ffroshii knew his way around looking up a girl's address or down a pool cue. In conclusion, let us take this means to extend our thanks to all who tried to make our first year at P. T. l. more pleasant and to start us on our way in the right direction, taking us out of the maze of confusion and into the first steps and enlightenment to- wards our future careers.
