In addition, the enroll- Freehand Architectural Design and Architectural ment of the evening classes has been: Drawing, 77; Commercial Illustration, 87; Ornament and Design, 30; Architectural Drawing, 154; Jewelry, Silversmithing and Chasing, 21; making a total of 369. In addition, the enrollment of the special Saturday morning classes has been 143. The full total of day, evening and special classes has been exactly 1000. Most of our courses of study are two years in length. The enrollment by states in 1913-14, the enter- ing year of the graduates of June, 1915, included thirty-eight states, Canada and Japan, as follows: California, 1; Colorado, 2; Connecticut, 34; District of Columbia, 5; Florida, 2; Georgia, 2; Hlinois, 8; Indiana, 6; lowa, 5; Kentucky, 3; Louisiana, 1; Maine, 15; Maryland, 1; Massachusetts, 33; Michigan, 5; Minnesota, 4; Mississippi, 4; Missouri, 2; New Hampshire, 3; New Jersey, 39; New Mexico, 1; New York, 77, and in Brooklyn and New York City, 128; North Dakota, 2; Ohio, 16; Oklahoma, 1; Oregon, 1; Pennsylvania, 12; Rhode Island, 5; South Carolina, 1; South Dakota, 1; Texas, 2; Utah, 1; Vermont, 5; Virginia, 3; Washington, 7; West Virginia, 1; Wis- consin, 6; Wyoming, 1; Canada, 6; Japan, 2. This en- rollment by states may be considered typical of every school year. Diplomas and certificates of the School of Fine and Applied Arts were first awarded in 1890. From 1890 SCHOOL OF FINE AND APPLIED ARTS to 1914, inclusive, the graduates of the various courses of study have nu mbered as follows: Normal Art and Normal Art and Manual Training, 860; General Art, Costume and Commercial Illustration, 254; Applied Design and Interior Decoration and Applied Design and the Crafts, 388; Architectural Construction and Architectural Design, 457; Jewelry, Silversmithing and Chasing and Wood Carving, 67; making a total of 2026, Normal Art and Manual Training Course. Ve have definite information that over one thousand positions as instructors in drawing and manual training have been filled by our students. Of course all these Nor- mal students, with the lapse of years, are not now teaching; but, supposing that two-thirds of them are in the work, the aggregate salaries will approximate fully one million dollars a year, and the children under their supervision number many times one million. Architectural Construction and Architectural De- sign. So far as we know, nearly every one of those graduated from the courses in Architecture has been successful in the profession. The graduates are hold- ing important positions in the offices of architectural firms or they have become independent builders and architects in various towns and cities, doing work that has attracted marked attention. passed the Civil Service examination and received im- Many have portant positions.

The three underlying subjects of the School are science, art and sociology. The special applications of each differ for each different group of students. Of the faculty of one hundred and forty instructors and the student body of over fifteen hundred, each one is intent on her special problem, broadening her know!- edge, deepening her interest, looking for the wide: relations and the closer correlations of her subject, preparing to make it effective in the school, the shop. the institution or the home.

Our first Class meeting was held on October 2d for the purpose of the election of temporary officers and the organization of the Class. At a later date our permanent officers were elected as follows: President, Kay P. Rehnberg; Vice-President, William H. At- kinson; Treasurer, John A. Schmitt; Secretary, Horace S. Hubbard. On Friday evening of the first week we were entertained at the annual Club Smoker. This gave us an opportunity to become acquainted with our instructors and schoolmates and we were filled with the good fellowship of the School. A few weeks later we were again entertained by our Senior Class at another Smoker and in this way became more familiar with the students and instructors of the Electrical course. Our Athletics were organized early in the fall and the Soccer team finished well up in the standing of the teams. Our Basketball team made a good record but was greatly handicapped by the fact that three of our players were selected for the ‘varsity team. Our Base- ball team proved to be by far the most interesting of all, and although we lost the championship after an exciting series of games, no more interest could have been shown. Much of our team’s success is due to the untiring effort of Mr. Kemper who coached our men. On May 16th, 1914, we joined with the 1914 Class in the annual A. E. dance. The affair proved to be very successful and was much enjoyed by all present. During the year several very interesting trips were taken in connection with our class-room work in Elec- tricity, among them being the trips to the New York Testing laboratories and to the Weston Instrument Company at Newark. As our year came to a close we felt more and more the responsibility of our work and determined to make our second year an even greater success than the first. We returned to the Institute on September 23, 1914, somewhat fewer in number than before, but more resolved to accomplish that which we had set out to do and with more of the genuine “Pratt spirit.” At our first Class meeting the following officers were elected: President, Kay P. Rehnberg; Vice-President, William H. Atkinson; Treasurer, Robert Stortz; Sec- retary, Horace S. Hubbard. We started off our year by entertaining the Junior Class of 1916 at a Class Smoker.. Our entertainment consisted of musical numbers furnished by our own members and of short talks by some of the Instructors. In this way we sought to help the first-year men who were strangers, as we had been a year ago. Our Soccer Team established itself by winning the Championship and each player was awarded the ’var- Site. wed The first Class dance of the year was held on De- cember 15th and although Mr. Reeves and Mr. Rehn- berg would never tell where they found the orchestra, it was evident to the minds of the other members of the Class that. there had been a serious mistake. Our Basketball Team made an excellent showing as did the Swimming Team, which finished second in the Class standing. On May 20 our entire Class journeyed to works of the General Electric Company in Schenectady. This trip proved not alone to be very instructive but excep- tionally interesting and will long be remembered as the climax of our studies. In addition to the trip to Sche- nectady we have taken several others, one to the Tele phone Company, and to some of the leading Power Stations in New York and Brooklyn. The annual A. FE. dance was held.on Saturday eve- ning of May 15, 1915. This proved to be by far the best of all our social events and one of the most suc- cessful dances ever held at the Institute. Our athletics came to a close with the end of Base- ball, our Team succeeding in finishing well up in the Class standing. We wish to express our gratitude to our Instructors of both our first and second years, and to the officers of the Institute through whose untiring efforts we have now reached our graduation.

Though knowing nothing of what is in store for them in the future, the members have the training and ability. characteristic of Pratt students, to insure them suc: cess. It has been said that history is the answer to the query, “How, when, and where did who do what?” To confine the answer to such a query regarding the Steam and Machine Design Class and to give such an answer intelligently within the limits of the space al- lotted is an almost impossible task. Although our history extends over the period of two short years, yet in that brief time our little band of co-workers has demonstrated that it is capable of maintaining the Pratt standard. It is due to the “Help the Other Fellow” spirit that the greatest harmony has been enjoyed throughout the Class during our school life. It was on September 24, 1913, that a band of fel- lows, numbering sixty-eight, met for the first time at Pratt. Acquaintances were soon formed and every- body immediately agreed that Pratt was a fine place Steps were taken to form an organization and, after much debating and good-natural bantering, the Class officers and committees were elected. On October 5, the Senior Steam and Machine Design Class tendered us a welcome in the form of a smoker It was here that we saw our instructors in a new light and found that they were willing to be friends of the boys and would guide them through their school life. February 6 brought us the annual S. M. 1D. dance in the Gymnasium. June 12, we gave a farewell party to S. M. D. ‘14 in the form of a smoker, after which a number saw the sights of Coney Island. June 18, saw the final game of the baseball sea- son from which we emerged champions, but only after worthy battles with S. M. D. 714 and A. E. 715. It was a fitting climax to our first year. September 23 found us once more at the Institute ready for the year’s work. Our number was now re- duced to fifty-eight, but two new members were in- cluded. S. M. D. 16 was immediately taken in hand and directed as to what they should do or should not do. On October 10 we gave them a smoker in accord- ance with the custom of past years. The Steam and Machine Design Association was organized on October 7. Many interesting papers have been delivered by the members during the school year. The annual Class dance was held this year on February 19, in the Gymnasium. On the evening of March 23, our Class Basketball Team won the interclass championship by defeating Chemistry, 35 to 31. ‘To Chemistry we owe our only defeat of the season, but the defeat was counteracted by two splendid victories. For winning the champion- ship, the ’Varsity letter was awarded the team. In athletics, our teams have made an exceedingly fine record. The Soccer Football teams have been good despite the fact that little interest has been shown for the game. The Basketball team was tied for second place in the first year and won the championship during the past winter. The tennis team was runner-up last year and won the fall championship this year. The swimming team carried off the honors in the interclass relay race. The Baseball team won the championship last year and is very much in evidence this year, the championship being undecided at this time. The secret of the success is the spirit with which the fellows played. They never quit. Many of our opponents de- clare that luck was a great factor in the success of our teams. If such is the case, there is a great future in store for S. M. D. 715. One of the pleasing features of our life at Pratt has been the fellowship and good-will of our instructors. It is through their hearty co-operation that we are so well equipped to fight life’s battles and to them we wish to express our great appreciation. To our old rivals, Applied Electricity and Applied Chemistry, we extend ou r sincere wish for a bright and successful future.

Recitation Room. Each one of us looked dubious. We wondered what was coming next. In the Institute catalogue it is stated that no hazing is al- lowed. There must be some mistake about this for Applied Chemistry “15 was hazed by the Mathematics Instructor in the first hour of his instruction; for he informed us that it was an ordinary occurrence for a student to study thirty-six hours during Saturday and Sunday. [He also exhibited the work of a former student which was so well done that it looked as if it had been printed. Imagine our terror when he non- chalantly remarked: “This fellow flunked.” We understand that our class from the start proved so remarkably dependable that the Head of the Chem- istry Department was, upon our arrival, granted a year’s absence. Therefore we missed his care and in- struction during his year in Europe. In our Senior Year it has been our privilege and pleasure to know Mr. Allen better, Consequently in Chemistry we fell into the hands of Mr. Bivins, whose whole-hearted interest has en- deared him to us. He took us through the pitfalls and pleasures of our first year in Chemistry. His many fatherly counsels inspired our class spirit and his instruction furnished a stiff backbone which has held fast under the load of our subsequent chemical training. In our Junior Year glory came to us in our Shop Courses. Our dear Instructor in Carpentry affirms that we can frame a story just as well as a house. In Forge we struck out bright sparks that served as a warning to other classes. In Foundry we mixed brains with our cupola charges and poured them all hot into the dark corners of earth in our molds. It was in Physics that we struck an up-grade that nearly stopped the train. The engine puffed and the wheels squeaked. A fortunate change of engineers pulled us over the grade. The Senior Year has been not only pleasant and inspiring, but it has loaded us up with practical in- formation thus fitting us to hold down good positions when .we get a chance at them. Under the skilful guidance of Dr. Rogers and Mr. Morrison, our genial Instructors i in Chemistry, we have with each day s com- pleted work gained a more comprehensive understand- ing of our major subject. We have appreciated their work with us which has given us a strong incentive to make the most of our fine opportunities in Industrial and in Technical Chemistry, In the Machine Shops we have put out of commission more long-suffering machines, gears, cogs, belts, bolts and screws than any other class on record, excepting, of course, the Ma- chine Construction Class itself. As chemists we naturally began to analyse Machine Shop apparatus, but this did not seem to meet with the approval of the Head of the Department of Machine Work. Never- theless we have learned much in our Fridays in the Machine Shop that will come in right handy when we get on the job. In Machanics we have frequently been obliged to spray our heads with very cold water to prevent overheating by the combustion of chunks of practical wisdom crowded into our heads by the earnest Instructor. The class has been in evidence in athletics. In Ten- nis we have held good the championship which has come to be regarded as Chemistry property and if signs signify we have the Indian article on this sea son’s banner in this sport. In Football and in Basket- ball our teams have won their way into the finals and have been nosed out by such small margins that showed little difference between the contestants. In Baseball this year we have the championship nearly in our mit; we owe much to our efficient coach, Mr. Chalmers, who has worked out the mechanics of the diamond as successfully as that of his classroom and his laboratory. Applied Chemistry 15 received with reverence the fine set of chemistry traditions that was intrusted to it. We claim to have kept burning bright the fire of the Chemistry Spirit. We now hand this on to our successors with the charge to keep undimmed the Chemistry Geist.

This Class con- sisted of twenty-six young men, all possessing one great aim, namely, to enlarge their knowiedge ot the trade they had chosen for their life work. We soon became acquainted with the methods of the School, and it was not long before we were gaining use- ful knowledge and practical experience. In our sports we were exceptionally successful con- sidering the fact that our course kept us together for but one year. The excellent spirit shown by our fellow- members contributed much towards the successes we won. The first of our sports was Soccer, in which the team, captained by Mr. Fisk, proved to be an excellent one. It was backed with enthusiasm by the Class. As the winter progressed, we confined our sports to the gymnasium, where Mr. Jeffries, with the hearty co- operation of a good team, led to many victories. In Baseball, we proved ourselves even better than in other sports, and with the aid of Mr. Mayo’s excellent pitch- ing we won games against the strongest opponents, ending the season with a good average. Our president, Mr. Rendell; and the other officers of the Class did good service in making a success of our social functions, whereby we were enabled to have a very enjoyable as well as an instructive year. The Class appreciates the interest shown in their wel- fare by the instructors, and we feel that we can con- gratulate ourselves on a year profitably spent at Pratt Institute. Now, as we are about to graduate and our time grows shorter, we feel with increasing regret that one of the most valuable years in our experience is coming to an end. In conclusion, we wish to place on record a vote of thanks to the Trustees of the School for their efforts in our behalf, through whose considerate interest we have derived the greatest benefit.

The course covers a period of one year during which we learned joinery, Roof [raming, Stair Building, Wood Turning, Estimating, Mechanical and Archi- tectural Drawing, and many principles connected with the construction of buildings. The work is carried on just as it would be in a Mill or Shop or on a building in the course of erection. loremen were appointed from members of the Class at various times whereby we gained an idea of handling men and of scientific management. We were taught to do our work in the best, cheapest, and quickest way. Two hours every week in the Gymnasium kept us in good physical con- dition. In addition to the shop work, our Class took a num- ber of inspection trips to lumber and building ma- terial yards, mills, shops, and buildings in process of construction, For the study of quick production and types of woodworking machinery, Bossert’s Mill fur- nished a good example, where we saw a cheap grade of work turned out in large quantities. At Cross, Austin and Ireland’s the appliances for handling heavy timber economically, and their up-to-date electrically-driven machinery for the manufacture of sash doors and trim were very interesting. At the Klee Thompson Plaster Works were instructive examples of model houses, ornamental interior decorations and work in clay and plaster. The new Equitable Building in New York and the Y. M. C. A. in Brooklyn were visited as examples of modern fire-proof construction. It is in- teresting to note that the superintendent of the latter building is a graduate of the Evening C. and B. Class. Our last trip was to the headquarters of the Sargent Co. where a complete line of hardware was seen. Four of the members of the Class had been appren- tices and two had worked as journeymen carpenters before entering the school. The opportunities offered by the course are greatly superior to those given under the usual conditions of learning the trade.

I irst they study self-development and find there is a way, To evolve an “inner-being” before unknown— And they coax it forth with games and songs in most enticing play To develop individuals full-blown. They study Montessori and partake of freedom sweet Through fields of child-psychology they roam— But on meeting Friedrich Froebel and his “Unity’”— they weep: Indulge in “self-activity and moans” Oh, the means they do employ, To make each girl and boy, Leave his teacher and his schooling and his home! Oh, the lovely songs they sing— Oh, the games and pretty things, “Ah for childhood’s happy days again!” you moan (Really they have such fun) Why I’ve seen them play with blocks And make the nicest clocks ! They have such pretty pictures on the wall; They tell the nicest stories, Of knighthood and its glories You can’t make children stay from school at all! (They even want to go on Saturday ) There’s not a movement known—— Whose seeds have not been sown By the kindergarten moyvement—so they claim, So if you would succeed, To my advice give heed— Go back to kindergarten for your aim. (There’s more in teaching children than you think) 48 SCHOOL OF KINDERGARTEN TRAINING History OF THE CLAss oF 1915 On that memorable day September 23, 1913, we as- sembled at the Pratt Kindergarten House—the raw material ready to be made into kindergartners. There were girls of all sorts in our class, tall and short, slim and fat girls, girls from the north and the south, and some from the interesting and picturesque city of Brooklyn, N. Y. Consequently, we have learned a good deal of geography; there is not much we do not know about Panama, and we have almost been persuaded that Boston is the leading city of the world. The subjects in our curriculum are as varied as the girls in our class. Besides the study of matters di- rectly pertaining to the kindergarten, there have been opportunities for budding Paderewskis, Melbas, Raphaels, and Angelos, to show their talents, although more than one aspiring sculptor gazing proudly at the object she has modelled in clay “has been brought to earth by the well-meant remark, “That's beautiful, but what is it?’ from a fellow-modeller. The first year closed with the pleasing though strenuous task of decorating the Kindergarten House with daisies, in honor of the graduating class. Our class-rooms have never seemed as large as they did when we divided the total amount of wall-space by the number of daisies we had picked. In September, 1914, we returned from our summer vacation—Seniors! The magic word added riches to our height mentally, if not physically. This year one of our greatest joys has been garden- ing. In our Junior year we planted our own garden. and now each of us proudly superintends two school boys or girls, as they plant onions, radishes, ete., in neat little rows. There is a good deal of satisfaction in being “head gardener,” even if the gardens are miniature ones and the under-gardeners only ten years old. The events which perhaps stand out most clearly in our minds are our performance of “Cinderella,” our graduation theses, the gymnastic meet, and never to be forgotten—Huntington. When our performance of “Cinderella” was con- sidered a success by the Pratt public and our juvenile audience, we almost decided to leave the kindergarten for the stage. On second thoughts, however, we de- cided not to be led away by the lure of the footlights, but to be faithful to our chosen profession. What a blow it was to romance when on Monday morning our Prince appeared, no longer gorgeous in white and silver, but in ordinary every day garb! For several weeks before writing our theses we read, studied, and generally absorbed data concerning | roe- bel and the kindergarten. At the end of the time, we felt that we knew our great leader pretty well, though some details such as the date when the infant If ‘reid rich cut his first tooth may have escaped our notice. To prove that our muscles as well as our minds had been developing, we took part in the annual gymnastic meet. The result is that each of us possesses a green tie, which is very valuable, not merely as a tie, but as a symbol of victory. The year would not be complete without our visit to Huntington in May. The object of this visit is not only to have a very delightful rest from our labors, but to study nature as one cannot study it on Ryerson Street. Now at the end of two years, we go out into the world as kindergartners, each of us cherishing the secret belief that fer kindergarten will be the best America has ever known—as a result of her training at Pratt. “ friendly band of thirty-one Two years we've been together.

The twenty-five sole survivors assembled the follow- ing September 15th and for several weeks explored the Pratt Library under the competent guidance of the “real” librarians, discovering such strange things as dictionary and classed catalogs and handling the nice new copies of Dewey’s Classification with dubious misgivings of what was to come. At this time statis- tics were taken and notes compared as to the percent- age of blondes and brunettes, and who were frivolous and who were especially bright! Then came class exercises ;—the hard, steady work from that time to aster, and the enthusiastic struggle to fit ten hours’ work daily into seven are best left “neath a silence pure and smooth, like burnt-out craters covered with snow.” Nevertheless, the wild rush from the Encylcopaedia Britannica to Brewer’s many books to discover what is the tax on turnips in British Guiana, or if there are musical snakes, and, if so, what do they sing? all this had elements of thrill, and as for cataloging, that was more than thrill- ing, it was awe-inspiring! We all take off our new Panama hats to Miss Gooch. Class elections gave us Mildred Maynard of Wil- liamsport for president and Myra Buell of St. Paul for secretary; they have been most capable officers besides originating most of the plans for our delight- ful trips to Rockaway for a picnic on the beach, to the East Side for Chinese dinners and evenings at the Neighborhood Playhouse, or to the Women’s Club for afternoon tea. This illustrates that the first two terms were not quite all work, but they were so full of it that at Christmas we lost three members, Esther Giblin of Albany, Lillias Nichols of Northampton and Alice Ogden of Summit, who were not quite strong enough to keep on with the course. Except for these, the Class of 1915, it is hoped, safely navigates the seas of library science, having been given for sailing orders “don’t try to do anything else outside the course.” Many of the girls opened accounts at the Thrift, but soon changed its name to Spendthrift as they found it very easy to dispose of money with so many lectures and dramas taking place and the opera so near. The majority of “1915” went out for practice work, during the second term, in the various Branches of the Brooklyn Public Library, and found this interesting and instructive. Through the harmony of the year ran the deep, solemn note of Government Documents. Fiction Semi- nar was a sweet treble note in the work, and everyone loved to listen to it, as well as to Current [vents. During the year two wonderful opportunities came and were taken with joy: the Class saw Senator Clark’s magnificent galleries and the private Morgan library, where we held the original manuscripts of our favorite authors in our hands and gazed with awe at the Gutenberg: Bible and the very first books ever printed. The Easter vacation was used by a trip to Washing- ton to study and compare the libraries there and at the various intermediate cities. Besides the interest of the trip, we had the pleasure of becoming well ac- quainted with one another, and believe—as of course every other Class believes of itself—that there couldn't be a nicer class than ours! Practical work in the Library and trips to other localities to see what is being done elsewhere with Miss Rathbone as a guide make the third and last term the pleasantest of all. We leave Pratt with the pleasantest memories of the Free Lecture Course, the beautiful Women’s Club, and of our own home the Pratt Institute Library and its staff.

The Club belongs to the women students of the Institute as well as to all the Alumnae and women Instructors who care to be members. Its affairs are managed by a Faculty Committee composed of the Directors of the different Schools who direct its gen- eral policy, and by a Governing Board composed of Alumnae and students who have charge of the details of management. It has many rooms all with their special uses. The parlors with their restful coloring, with the fireplace where real wood fires blaze on winter evenings, with the piano and the victrola, are the most popular rooms in the house and are seldom empty long at a time. In these rooms students of all the Schools meet and play together and forget their differences in being all students of Pratt Institute. Here the Red Cross work- ers met in the November evenings and made many garments for the sufferers across the sea. llere are writing desks and club note paper, here are books, magazines and newspapers, gifts to the Club from its members. Here the new dancing steps are learned and faithfully practiced, here each Alumnae Associa- tion holds a meeting during the year, here the social clubs meet, the Glee Club practices, the Dramatic Club entertains itself and its guests, and here on Frida,’ evenings men callers are entertained. Uptairs are the sitting rooms of the different Schools, beautifully decorated and furnished by the Alumnae. During the morning hours students who have a spare period come to use it in these rooms in studying or sewing, and committee meetings, rehear- sals, reading parties and small social gatherings find in these rooms attractive meeting places. The com- fortable couches, too, give a chance for a few minutes rest before going back to work. The tea room has its special hour of popularity be- PRATT INSTITUTE WOMEN’S CLUB tween four and five o’clock in the afternoon when tea is served at two cents a cup to members and their friends. During the winter hot chocolate and in sum- mer iced tea make an agreeable change. The tea room is an excellent place too for supper parties. The elec- tric chafing dish makes a Welsh rarebit easy to ac- complish, and the well furnished kitchen close at hand gives an opportunity for cooking anything you may choose to bring. Fudge parties find the kitchen use- ful, and if you are seized with a sudden desire to make a cake you have only to bring and mix the ingredients and the kitchen will do the rest. Another important part of the kitchen is the laundry equipment. Many are the collars and shirtwaists which have been washed and ironed there—and there is never a party now at Pratt without at least one dress which owes its fresh- ness to the Women’s Club irons. The garden with its lawn and flower beds is an ideal spot for tea on a hot afternoon. Last fall more than twenty varieties of birds spent a day or two here on their way south and with the new bird bath we expect even more this year. The planting of bulbs in the fall, raising plants from seed in the spring, weeding the garden, playing tether-ball, ring-toss and croquet are some of the amusements which the garden makes pos- sible. It has lent its charm also to both afternoon and evening parties to which it furnishes a delightful back- ground. But the Women’s Club has done more than keep the house and garden ready for people to find their own amusements. Last fall it appointed a committee to write to new students and meet them at the stations on their arrival, and many newcomers found a wel- come in consequence. A Dramatic Club has been formed which has fur- nished much amusement by its impromptu entertain- ments and which has been of real benefit to its mem- bers. A Glee Club organized in October has done serious work and has given pleasure to many people. The Stringed Instrument Club has been useful more than once at settlement gatherings and Alumnae meet- ings. Saturdays during the winter term have been occupied with country walks and visits to points of interest. Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, the Natural His- tory Museum, Chinatown and the brass shops on Allen Street have been visited and parts of Staten Island have been explored. The Club members have been invited to join in the walks of the Appalachian Moun- tain Club during the spring. The People’s Theatre League has furnished the Club during the year with coupons for theatre tickets at reduced rates which have been greatly appreciated by those members who have had the time to use them. This is a partial record of the work of the Women’s Club during its first year. Another year will doubtless find it even more useful to its members than it has been this year. 59 60 TEA IN THE GARDEN PRATT INSTITUTE WOMEN’S CLUB SATURDAY IN THE KITCHEN PRATT INSTITUTE WOMEN’S CLUB AT HOME IN THE PARLORS 61 62 THE SMOKING ROOM PRATT INSTITUTE MEN’S CLUB Pratt Institute “Men’s Club 64 PRATT INSTITUTE MEN’S CLUB Tue Srory or 1914-15 All students, both day and evening, in the School of Science and Technology, and all full-time men students in the School of Fine Applied Arts are ipso facto members of the Men’s Club and entitled to all its privileges. The reading-room on the ground floor contains some twenty of the popular weekly and monthly periodicals, five morning and evening local newspapers and three from out of town. Adjoining is the lounging-room with its easy chairs, its open fireplace, and its piano. On the floor above are the game room, the alumni room, and the billiard room. The top floor is one large room used during the noon hour as a lunch room and evenings for social lectures, rallies, and dances. In the basement are two bowling alleys and a kitchen. Individual and class tournaments in billiards and bowl- ing are held in the fall and winter terms respectively, and suitable prizes awarded to the winners. The social life of the students centers in the various clubs. Of these the oldest is the Glee Club, meeting weekly for rehearsal in the clubhouse or the Assembly Hall. The Glee Club, or a representative quartette or double quartette, frequently assists at social func- tions, and in the spring of each year closes its session with a special concert. A similar organization is the Orchestra, which assists the Glee Club and furnishes the music at most of the dances held in the Gymnasium and Music Room. Next year we hope to combine the Musical Clubs under one head and make them a vital element in the social life of the entire student body. A new member of our Club family this year was the Dramatic Society, which gave a successful perform- ance of “The Sophomore,” followed by a dance, at the Masonic Temple on the evening of March 6. Over two hundred and fift y couples attended and one hun- dred dollars was realized for the establishment of a Student Aid Fund. In recent years several State clubs have come into existence and in every instance they have served to bring together socially the boys and girls from the respective localities. The oldest of these organizations is the Southern Club which was founded in 1909. Last year the Maine Club came into existence and this year has witnessed the birth of similar clubs rep- resenting Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Pennsyl- vania. Another interesting feature of the year’s program has been the Saturday trips to points of interest in the greater city and to representative industrial establish- ments in Brooklyn and New York. The former in- cluded trips to Blackwell’s Island, Sailors’ Snug Har- bor, Ellis Island, Stock and Produce Exchanges, Fort Hamilton, Navy Yard, and Governor’s Island, and the latter trips to the National Biscuit Company, the Main Telephone Exchange, Knox Hat Company, American Sugar Refining Company, Williamsburg Works of the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, and the New York Times. Throughout the year a close connection has ex- isted between the’ Men’s Club and the Greenpoint Neighborhood House. Fifty-seven members served as volunteer workers at different times in such various ways as teaching shop work, playing musical instru- ments, assisting at Sunday evening entertainments, tell- ing stories and reciting poems, and leading hikes, gym- nasium classes, and Boy Scout groups. Mention must also be made here of the annual Elec- tion Eve Political Rally, the Thanksgiving Day Din- ner, and the Lawn Party given in conjuction with the Women’s Club. There were also the usual number of class and alumni sociables and many more dances and open house evenings.

FIFTH ANNUAL COMFETITIVE GYMNASTIC MEET WINNING JUNIOR CLASS (H. S. A,, 1916) ON THE FLOOR Athletic cAssociation 74 PRATYL INSTITUTE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION ATHLETICS Athletic competition during the year 1914-1915 was confined entirely to inter-class activities. The responsibility of managing and financing the affairs of the Athletic Association is vested in an Exe- cutive Committee of the Athletic Association, com- posed of a representative from each class, whose duty it is to see that the athletic affairs of his class are properly promoted. At its first meeting t he committee decided to con- duct class tournaments in football, basketball, track athletics, swimming teams and baseball. Ten classes were represented in each of the contests. As a recognition of successful participation upon a class team the Association issued an athletic certificate to those members having participated in over 50 per cent. of the scheduled games played and which entitled the owner to wear the emblem of his class. To members of a team winning the championship in any tournament and meeting the scholarship require- ments the block letter “P?” was awarded. A summary of the season's activities is as follows: Basketball. The class of Steam Machine Design 1915 won the Basketball championship, losing one game of twelve played. The season began November 14, 1914, and closed March 13, 1915. Forty-nine games were played.
