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.
