We see before us the great and busy world with here and there prominent professional men, some of whom are now members of our several classes. If, in the years to come, as the pages of this book are turned, their hearts grow lighter and reminiscences are awakened, our chief object will have been accomplished. We have tried to make this book an interesting, lasting record of our enjoyable years at the Institute. Of the measure of our success in the accomplishment of this aim the reader is the judge. If our efforts are received with the true ‘Pratt Spirit’? which we have tried to work into every line, we do not fear for the results. The work has been more of a task than we anticipated, but it has been full of interest and pleasure. Our entire labor has been one of love and loyalty to the other members of the Institute, and if by any chance a reader is disturbed because of things herein recorded, we trust that the good fellowship spirit will restore his equanimity. Our efforts are here materialized.

Character represents that hid- den virtue which prompts our thoughts and actions. It is formed by our daily habits. Little things make it, little things mar it. It is of slow growth. Our secret thoughts shape it. The results of all efforts are in proportion to the work and skill you give them. Never expect to get honor, position, or money on any other terms. Be patient and learn to wait, make few changes, and be known as transparently honest. Always be at work. There is no pleasure or profit in idleness. Plenty of work is better than wealth without it. The giving which counts is the giving of one’s self. ene, GAS Baw Do the natural thing. Seek the counsel of persons more experienced; then act on your own judgment. If in doubt, wait. I do not believe the Lord ever gave a man a good enough mem- ory to be a successful liar. Never make a contract like a pitcher, with the handle all on one side; be fair, for you cannot succeed in any other way. Happiness is not measured by the amount of money one has. Neither does money as a rule contribute to happiness so much as the habit of contentment pur- chased by a busy life. Be just and fear God. It is safe to talk much with Him. The re- wards of life are an approving conscience, the memory of kind deeds, and the hope of Heaven. Have a pride in your character. Don’t do anything you would be ashamed of. Be a_ gentleman, whatever your business.

No man has ever worked more earnestly for the development of character. His was no accidental success. All that he achieved came to him of his own untiring exertions. In his force and strength, his unselfishness and devotion to the interest of others, the rigor of his self-discipline and in his accomplishment, Charles Pratt was truly a great man. Only by worthy thought can a man find genuine satisfaction in life. Only by serious and prolonged reflection can he shape his thought into concise and philo ophic utterance. With a homely truth and simple dignity, quite their own, the sayings of Charles Pratt are worthy of a high place in the esteem of the American People. Personal discipline, conquering the will, bringing self into subjection, accomplishing difficult things,—these make character. Do not attempt to hide your real character, but rather try to make it so pure and good that you will have no secrets to cover. So long as you live, others will be influenced for good or evil by it. Nothing is so desirable as nobility of character; it is more valuable than riches. As a power to influence men it is more potent than eloquence. Work is the essential part of life and nothing worth while comes without it. Everything costs something in effort or discipline or sacrifice. Health comes from habits of right living, and that means restraint; wealth comes from persist- ent energy, and that means labor; education comes from application and industry, and that means discipline; happi- ness comes from consideration of others, and that means unselfishness. Be cheerful and have no regrets for the wasted or unused past. Never borrow trouble about the future, but do well the duty that is nearest to you in the present. A man must be shrewd but never sharp. Man is Master only when he masters himself and the Evil one. This is one Glory. It is another Glory to be the ser- vant of others, to have the world better for our living in it. So in the use of maxims that restrain your spiritual or moral nature, have one as your talisman through life. You will find as you grow older that the proverbs of Solomon, and the maxims of sages of all ages are true. But it is not the many that you want, so much as steadfastly holding on to one. Learn to occup y yourself in manual labor. I am anxious to impress upon your minds the value of learning to be skill- ful in the use of your hands as a source of that quiet enjoy- ment which an active brain needs. I cannot repeat too often the value of integrity. Integrity in representation and in being just what you seem. The aa style of work which we have endeavored to teach, we believe will have a tendency to put at your service a knowledge of how to use what you have learned and to open the way to a knowledge of how to get from books the information which they contain. The object of instruction is to establish character. Profit by it. The present life of the young is an outline of the future. If I could read your personal thoughts from six o'clock Sunday morning until six o'clock Sunday night, I could write your history twenty years from now. Take satis- faction in accomplishing the difficult thing. You will find that you cannot long deceive the world. It will find out just what you are and if’you are true and faith- ful the world will have faith in you. Faith in your own power for usefulness is of very great value and it can only come with a consciousness of being genuine. This faith in your ability will also give you courage to meet and over- come difficulties and to resist temptation. The hope of youth is to be masters. The experience of age is that we are only servants. We are only servants, one of another. Be faithful servants to any and every call of duty, day by day; think of Life as a cheerful service; do not hope or ex- pect it to be otherwise. There is no doubt that one of the most valuable qualities which you can carry with you into your future life is faith in principle, and a conscious courage which follows that faith. There will be no doubt of the success which will attend your work in life if you will only be true to the one main idea: personal consciousness that you are in the path of duty, and that consciousness should give you courage to bear up under all discouragements. eietet ben =the ret tenet et uA PAST aataaan aaa nanan anon arn ao on ono ; cS ReOr Wee?

Right at the start we learned that if one apple cost one cent, a basket full will cost as much as a pound of butter. Mr. Isenberg drilled these principles so thoroughly into our noble domes that we could soon see that a new problem was like the same girl, wearing a different dress. This fundamental mas- tered, the rest was easy. And that shop with all its mystifying tools! The day will stand long in our memory when Mr. Saylor sent Brookes to get the ‘‘putting-on tool” so that he could fix his work. Have you ever noticed how that Saylor retains his youth? Did you ever see him at a class dance? Say, doesn’t he shake a wicked knee? And while on the topic of dancing, we are reminded of our famous dancing leader, Anson W. Smith. The way that boy covers the floor would make Vernon Castle turn over in his grave with envy. Nor can we forget some of our more serious instructors like Mr. Davis who shuns the lights of the dance hall. He would rather have us sitting at home doing geometry problems in twenty (20) steps, which could be done in (3) steps “‘a-la-Kremy’”’. Among other instructors we recall Nicholas Heyman with his seventeen methods for making ellipses and two pens for making D's. With these instructors and a determination to make good the class started work in earnest after the disbanding of the S. A. T. C. early in January 1919. Basketball practice and tournament soon started and our team made the electricians breathe heavily before they catpured the championship. Afterward came a track meet with Stevens, and here M. E. showed its true calibre by scoring twenty-four points out of a total of thirty-six. Clark who scored eighteen, was an M. E. man. King, another M. E. man, rolled up the second highest score, with a total of six points to his credit. The end of the year was now approaching and a dance was given by the first and second year classes. Besides having a good time, we met many of our future instructors. Time flies so, that it was not long before we were back from our vacation and on the job, again. Our ranks were greatly strengthened by the return of our service men, who had left in 1917 to uphold the country’s cause. A meeting was held and officers elected: King, President; Thornton, Vice President; Sadler, Secretary; Foltermann, Fin. Secretary and Balthazar, Treasurer. Just about this time, we experienced a loss through the leaving of Mr. MacCoul, one of the most respected instructors of the Institute. As a remembrance, the class presented him with a bookcase and several books. And while thinking of our instructors, we cannot fail to mention Mr. Kottcamp. The day he stepped into the role of Beatrice Fairfex and gave us a lecture on the evils of early marriage will not soon be forgotten. To show the real value of the lecture, marriages fell off 62.8% the following month. Nor should we foregt Mr. Maloney, the only instructor who appreciates that the fellows have lots of work and gives them a chance to rest up. Then there is Mr. Haman, who magnetized us so much with eelctrical problems that we became affected with hysteresis and did none at all. Coming back to talk of school work and athletics, brings reflections of the basketball tournament. M. E. went through the season without losing a single game. We then easily beat the Architects in two straight games for the championship. To wrestling, M. E. has contributed practically the entire team, Sherman, the individual star, being most prominent. To basketball, we have contributed Hanau, Hutton, and Thornton. To track we have contributed “Ted Clark , King, and other good men. But it is not alone in athletics that I. M.E.’20 has sustained the ancient traditions of the class. On the staff of PRAT- TONIA we have: Hurtuk, Editor-in-Chief; Ayres, Assistant Editor-in-Chief; Macaulay, Business Manager; and Bullock, Cir- culation Manager. This shows the standing of our men with the other classes and schools of the Institute. As we enter upon these last few weeks of work it is with deepest gratitude to the school and its instructors that we look back upon “the Good old days’’ that have passed so quickly. Our appreciation can best be expressed by uphold- ing and, if possible, bettering the record of the Pratt men who have preceded us. In this we canont fail if we always keep before us the slogan which so often brought victory here at school: FIRST IN CLASS SPIRIT. eS aig eee Sei=tet =n tt i=i Stet i= tet rem =t aa Sat GRSean Snes ea onan sles aloo oeananoenaanonen anon e Jndustrial Mechanical Engineering—1920 a ila JOHN M.

So we decided to show the world “what was what’’ and organized the Mechanical En- gineering Association. This branch of our student activities is, however, an institu- tion of many years standing as a part of the Mechanical Engineering Class. The activities of the association are en- tirely of a serious nature and form an important part of our education. The training we get does much to prepare us for the cold cruel world of Mechanical Industries. During the short time left after organizing in January, there have been twelve meetings. These meetings are conducted in Parliamentary manner. Usually most of the time is taken by Lectures or Treatises on subjects of mechanical interest, which are delivered by members. The association is governed by the executive committee, which includes the officers of the association and the Faculty Advisors. The chief duty of this committee is to assign the speakers and to otherwise plan meetings of a nature to help the student grasp a firm knowledge of Parliamentary proceed- ings. In past years, Mr. Lindslay, who left the faculty in Septem- ber, was faculty advisor. This year when we were ready to organize, it was unanimously decided to ask Mr. Mudge and Mr. MacCoul to help us. Both of these instructors willingly joined us and worked with a zeal and interest that was infec- tious. So it was with genuine regret that we learned that Mr. MacCoul was going to leave the faculty in January. With his going, the association lost a staunch and true friend, a man who could both retain his dignity as an instructor and still be a pal to all the fellows. Mr. Mudge has helped us single handed since then and has done everything to help make this year the most successful in the history of the association. The speakers at the various meetings held the interest of the assemblage with varied success. Most of the men chose their own topics, but those who could not do this or would not, had subjects assigned to them. It is with regret that we cannot give a full description of these talks, some of which were illustrated with lantern slides, but Mr. Hurtuk tells us that space in Prattonia is too valuable for that. Lectures were not, however, the only business that occu- pied our time at our meetings. There were several meetings devoted to class and association business. These meetings were conducted in Parliamentary fashion and were interesting. At one of the business meetings the suggestion was made to invite the first year men to join the association. It was unani- mously decided to do this but the faculty advised us to wait until the beginning of the spring term. In doing this we hope we have established an example which will be adopted in the future as it will do much to strengthen the spirit of the class as well as the organization. It will be with real regret that the regular meetings of the association will have to be discontinued at our graduation time. There is probably no other branch of our student activities that have brought all the men of the class into so intimate a study of one another. The executive committee hopes to continue this organization long after we leave Pratt Institute. If these plans carry well we will meet you again in Prattonia, 1921. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR 1920.

Large numbers of callow youth could be seen flocking toward the Institute. The class of I. M. E., ’21, first met in Room 24S. Among the gang a close observer might have noticed a few celebrities—such as Gunboat Crockett, late of Shanghai, China; Gooney Soule former K. P. in the U. S. Army; Meat-hound Bedell, lately re- turned from the bosom of the deep and briny at Pelham Bav; Jazz-boy Theall, fresh from the wilds of Port Chester; and Dutch Mair, our celebrated foundry expert. After making a tour of the various class rooms, and listening to a few words of worldly wisdom from each and every one of the instructors, we were convinced that we were up against a tough proposition. Finally we were dismissed with orders to return the next day. By the time the first week was over, we had become acquaint- ed with all of the instructors, including Mr. Smith, who intro- duced us to his herd of “Form Tools’, and told us something of his seventee n summers’ experience with Browne Sharpe. Mr. Isenberg took us in hand and explained the mysteries of the apple problem, and later we became intimate friends of “Boy A and Boy B’. We next met Mr. Ballou, who gave us a few words of fatherly advice and convinced us that he was the original “Math” hound. Mr. Schaffer, and Mr. Wood, in the Mechanics “‘Lab’” made the Wall Crane, Dynanometers, and other implements of torture known to us. After a few weeks, a class meeting was called. Jenny Jen- son was elected to lead us thru the year, Schwarz was his as- sistant, Joe Farrell took notes, and Lammers collected the in- come tax. Shortly after, Hub Hubbard was given the job of Financial Secretary. One morning the class’ was sent into spasms, as Katz arrived in class on time. The reason was that the Bronx Flyer ran the length of Manhattan, without jumping the rail or running over a cow. By this time Mark Anthony Corbett had assumed the responsibility of conversing with Mr. Isenberg upon the subject of Eskimo music while the rest of the class enjoyed sweet and dreamless sleep. Tex Congdon joined the gang one morning about ten o'clock, the cause of his tardiness being the fact that his alarm clock failed to arouse him. Mayhap he was dreaming of babbling brooklets of Bevo and fair maidens sit- ting along the bank. Who knows? Time passed quickly. Mid terms came and went. The I. M. E. Class of ’20, gave us a smoker at which huge grabs of eats were consumed. Needless to say the whole gang turned out and enjoyed themselves immensely. The holidays soon arrived. The gang scattered, to once again stick their feet under the paternal board and enjoy some real eats, waiting in the meanwhile for the bad news from Pratt, in the form of the Fall Term marks. We all admit that we are the smartest class that ever entered Pratt Institute, but owing to the fact that “A” stands for ““Angel’’, most of the gang had to be satisfied with “C's”, the teachers evidently finding it hard to find any angels among this bunch of boiler-makers. The new year found the gang on the job again. Most of the old guard were present, but there was a stranger in our ranks. After careful investigation, we found the stranger to be Scripture DeGowin camouflaged as a Bolsheviki, behind a bunch of spinach. On one bright, clear morning, we came to school to find one of the gang missing. The lure of O-Eye-O women was too much f or Hub and he slipped off under the shade of the night to return to the wilds of ASHTABULA. In the Electrical ‘‘Lab’, Jimmie Harkins came to the front by giving the class an exhibition of fireworks, while demonstrating a new method of throwing the circuit breakers by putting an iron bar across the switch. Things were now running rather slowly, so the gang got to- gether and gave the school the best dance of the season. Of course it was a great success, in spite of the fact that Katz didn't show up, after promising to bring down a regular girl from the Bronx. Oh, we forgot to say that Tapp was given the job of Soc- cer manager, and that he and his webb-footed crew made a brave attempt to capture the school championship, but in some way slipped up. Pop Goudy did his uppermost, in basketball, to whip the team into shape, and judging from the amount of energy lost, they ought to have won, but again we were stuck. There is no doubt, however, that we will capture the championship next year! At pool, Charlie Aussiker and Handsome Alcott made a dandy showing for the class. DeGowin, Zoller and Farrell officiated on the bowling team and established a corking record. Spring came, the snow had gone, and among the notable events, was the absence of Scripture DeGowin’s mustache. Half of it mysteriously disappeared one day during the class in pattern making. In a desperate effort to remove the other half, the victim hacked a small sized steak from the side of his “bugle.” Tis said that coming events cast their shadows before. At the time of this writing, many are the sleepless nights, for the gang of the I. M. E. ‘21. We have been informed by one of the instructors that about twelve of us are to get the “AXE”. Oh death, where is thy sting? The days of summer are drawing near. Soon the gang will scatter to their respective domiciles to eat, sleep, and recu- perate for the coming year, when we will hope to be to- gether again. Now, let the curtain fall, with sweet music to drive away our bitter tears at parting. il iW 4 Sonatas staan SRL Class of 1921.

Thirty-nine URSheohananenanar on STS SSS anor ona Sena oreron) Class History of Jndustrial Electrical Engineering—1920 Back in the stirring days of war and unsettlement, the I. E. E. class of 1920, after two weeks spent in hunting up high school credentials and signing up with Uncle Sam, started its first day at Pratt. After much vain search, room 21E was found. There we made the acquaintance of Mr. Davis and received his lecture on the Pratt ‘Spirit’. Those who did not get lost in the corridors between 21E and 36 S T., decided to attend classes regularly and on time, upon hearing Mr. Isenberg read the attendance regulations. The Fall term as a whole was a mix- ture of military training and school work and it was a relief, when, as a result of the signing of the armistice, the S. A. T. C. was disbanded just before the Christmas holidays. After two weeks of relaxation, the Winter term commenced. Many of the old crew were missing, but their places were soon filled. Affairs took on new life under the leadership of Stewart, with Brophy and Jackson handling the financial difficulties. Great doings took place in the Physics “‘Lab’’. One switch terminal shot Vasciliadis testing juice with a piece of wire, Benson awarded the fuse blowing championship after a hard struggle. Many took their “‘annual’’ while attempting the prony brake test. Good time had by all at the class smoker. Many new acquaintances formed with the instructors and upper class men. Eric Pope led the basketball team to the championship. Pool and bowling teams just nosed out of the championship by small margin. St. Patrick's day class dance was a great success. Spring term began with a loss of one of our best friends and instructors, Mr. Fenninger. Apple problems then replaced electrical problems for a few weeks, after which Mr. Wood helped us wrestle with B. T. U's. Ben. Levy started baseball with a vim. Witness Art Keenan catching Ed. Quinn’s cannon de- livery. Brill tried to bring in a new baseball ruling without success. Lots of fun in chemistry “‘lab’’. “‘Cupid’’ Smith at- tempted a chlorine gas attack. No casualties. ‘‘Fat’’ Rackett tried to blow the roof off with a hydrogen generator. Mr. Bivins, in disgust, suggested a much easier means of committing suicide. All the class tennis teams fell before the mighty drives of Lincks and Shapiro. Combined E. E. Dance created great en- thusiasm. Everyone got together at the class theatre party and smoker which proved a very fitting farewell to our friends in rete hile rie =r =m =t ren tel iret mettle =e tele the I. E. E. class of 1919. hot weather and no regrets. A lapse of three months brought us back to school to start on the home stretch. Ericsson took the president's chair with Joe Levinson as class scribe, and Dave Dember as tax collector. Class smoker proved to be an eventful occasion. Plenty of smokes and eats, combined with lots of stories. DeLand put an excellent soccer team in the field, which suffered only one defeat before snowfall. Links and Shapiro, the invincible pair, again captured the tennis championship. Mr. Cook with the aid of Mr. Powers in the laboratory, carried us safely over the wiles of the direct current machinery so that shortly after the beginning of the Winter term we were able to start with the mysteries of alternating current. Many interesting topics were taken up in design. The Winter term began with the organizing of the Electrical Association. Holmes took the leadership. Many talks were given by members of the class. The basketball team was set back by the loss of some of the old players, but we made a fine start. Our pool team proved invincible, but the bowling team did not quite live up to last year’s record. We soon discovered, through forceful remarks by Mr. Burley, that it was not good policy to linger on the way to machine shop. ‘‘Windy ’ Win- terhalter, one day, brought the Math class back from the infin- ite realms, with a fire, started in his overcoat by an overheated pipe. Everybody returned from the Easter holidays resolved to make the last lap the best, but it was not long before Spring fever got us, and then all our good resolutions were as naught. DeLand called for baseball candidates and a fast team got under way. Joe Levinson’s team started to clean up the courts’ again. The combined I. E. E. dance took its usual place among the best of the year. Ingenious members of the class were given an op- portunity to show what could be done with electricity. ‘‘Horse- power’ Miller took the class to Schenectady, where P. I. grad- uates showed us through the G.E. works. The trip was thorough- ly enjoyed and proved an appropriate ending to our stay at old P. | We hardly know how to express our sincere gratitude to both our first and second year instructors and to the officers and Trustees of the institute, who, through their untiring efforts and perseverance have led us to the gateway of success and fixed in our minds a memory which we will never forget.

Its aims have been and are, not only to encourage interest along elec- trical lines, but to develop initiative, individuality and per- sonality; in other words, to round out the training of the Insti- tute. The Association has existed from the beginning of the course in Applied Electricity, now Industrial Electrical Engineering. At first, participation in it was considered a part of the re- quired course and the Head of the Electrical Department ex- pected each student in both the first and second years to give two or three papers in the course of the year. Regular attend- ance was obligatory in the same way as at regular classes. Later, when the untiring enthusiasm and continued effort on the part of the members demonstrated that this regulation was no longer necessary, it was removed, and the Association, while still under the supervision of the Head of the Electrical Department, became a self-governed, self-supporting organiza- tion, entirely of the students. As the classes increased, the Association became so large as to be unwieldly and, as there was some difficulty in harmonizing the interests of the first and second year men, it was considered advisable to limit the membership to the second year men only. This limitation has been in effect until recently when the Junior Branch, consist- ing of the first year men, was organized. It is on this basis that the Association exists today. The two branches of course cooperate and in this concerted effort the members of the two classes have gained a mutual respect for each other. It was to this action that the Head of the Department referred when, in speaking of the Association, he said, “‘I feel that it is one of the most important features of the Electrical course.” In the earlier years of the Association, realizing that the most benefit was derived by the individual from the preparation of the papers and lectures, the members, only, presented the different subjects for discussion. Later, the need of keeping up with the modern, ever advancing industry was felt and outside speakers were invited to present articles at the meetings. Asa result, some of the prominent men of the electrical field, men of Westinghouse, General Electric, Western Electric, and other great companies of this country, have favored the Association by illustrated lectures along the lines of their respective fields of endeavor. Last year, on account of the condition brought on by the war, the Association was not organized. This year, it has been bigger and better than ever before. At the first meeting the following officers were elected:— Senior Branch Junior Branch President R. H. Holmes F. J. Hollenback Vice-President F. J. Malone Secy.-Treasurer Jo DoCarr J. B. Stinson The first address was given by the president of the Senior Branch, Mr. Holmes, in which he outlined his experiences with the Signal corps in France, touching particularly on the methods used in the interception of the enemy communications and the locations of their stations by wireless. At the second meeting, the Secy.-Treasurer Mr. Carr, gave a short talk on Electrical injuries and Resuscitation. Other subjects, including Magnetic Gear Shifts, Electro- Steam Turbine Stations, and the Automatic Telephone System now being installed in the City, were presented in the course of the year by the members, and several outside speakers ac- cepted our invitation to address the association on topics of interest.

E, E, ‘21. Although a small percentage of the original number of applicants, the members of the first year electrical class have, in every case, shown the interviewers’ opinions to be correct—namely that the right kind of men had been chosen. Coming into the Institution that has so many traditions and principles to be lived up to, it is hard for the class not to catch hold of the true “Pratt Spirit’. The class organized in the early part of October and chose its officers: Rrebdenty ons gits siren aiacerse ae Mr. Pryor Vice-president .......... Mr. Hargreaves Decys and Nreags wavsqestalecess Mr. Knowlton A. A. Representative......... Mr. Bettles Owing to illness, Mr. Hargreaves was forced to leave Pratt and Mr. Cravington was elected in his place. All the officers have done everything in their power to put I. E. E. '21 on the map and it cannot be denied that they have succeeded to an admirable extent. During the time of organization, however, school kept in session and soon had us well broken in. The day’s routine was something like this: Physics, in which we were exposed to Mr. Ohm and his well known law, likewise to advice, not to speak too loudly for fear of waking Hedger. Then Mr. Davis would inquire as to our financial status and would force us to picture what would happen if we had thirty cents and wanted to buy a fifty-cent pair of stockings. Our Siamese Twins (Giles and Ganzales) would soon have the class in a heated discussion as to the possibility of drawing a line from either end. Then to the “‘Lab.”” where even our self-asserted Steinmetz would place an ammeter across the line. Thanks to Mr. Bivins we know the quickest way out of cur troubles. A cubic foot of ordi- nary illuminating gas will do the trick, so he says. And who can forget discriptive geometry which reminds us of a lesson we can understand—it’s so different. ‘Wanted, a good men to pile lumber for Mr. Van Gaasbeek,’’ Mr. Saylor would say, and then Drake would point to Driver and Driver to Drake—in the end, Mr. Saylor choosing Anthony. Even if Mr. Saylor did admit that he could make a better pat- tern with a hatchet than some we made, still our experiences as lumber haulers ought to come in handy in years to come. As oxidizers of iron we are in a class by ourselves and we feel confident that Mr. Jones will bear us out in that statement. Mr. Nicol, in the foundry, let us enjoy ourselves in the sand and cleaning castings. We have an efficient crew of self-appointed superintendents—that’s one consolation. Our class athletic teams did not meet with the success hoped for, but the material that came out, with proper development will shape into teams that will put in a strong bid for champion- ships next year. Nevertheless, we were represented on the varsity basketball team and the wrestling team by Kruser and Tenny, respectively. The work of the Electrical society, which had been carried on in previous years, was taken up. At the initial meeting Mr. Hollenback was elected president and Mr. Stein, secretary. The Society as organized and backed by the class of J. E. E. ‘21, can- not fail to hold its own with the other technical societies of the school. Looking back at the activities carried on in our first year, we see no reason to expect anything but a very successful second year. The co-operation between the instructors and the stu- dents has been well worth mentioning and very instrumen- As might be expected, a first year class is handicapped because a strong class spirit has to be built up, where none existed before. Second year classes, naturally, are better organized, having been tal in our accomplishing the things we did. together a full year. Next year we'll be second year men, and then—Oh boy! watch our dust! STS a sansa enon =f jf Sata —Svenenen ST Class of 1921.

In two years a man may be made or unmade, may fall in love, or discover the hopeless bony consti- tution of his head or continue to live on oblivious of the fact. The time we-have spent at Pratt has been well worth while, to say the least, and we who are so soon to leave, feel a genu- ine regret. It was two years ago, in the fall of 1918, while the angry dogs of war were raising such a rumpus with their scrapping, that our life at Pratt began. The Government had just de- cided upon what all speakers refer to as ‘“‘that Grand Student Army Training Corps.’ Since the S. A. T. C. was at that time but an untested idea, and therefore, more or less hazy in the minds of the executives who were to carry it out, the large ments among the organizers, retarded, for some time, the large amount of work which was necessary before either army or school work could begin, was retarded for some time. Finally, however, the red tape was either cut or unraveled and we, as students, first met Mr. Allen. Throughout the two years his guidance has been indulgent and kindly, but on this first day he loomed up as a terrible being. Judge his ferocity as he read the attendance regulations. Judge our repentance as we repented crimes as yet uncom- mitted. Judge, and as ye judge, take pity. After Mr. Allen had gotten us into a weak, flaccid, and pe- culiarly receptive condition, he turned us over to that super- man, Mr. Ballou, who promptly rubbed salt in our wounds by informing us what was expected by the “Math” De- partment. He did a tale unfold! He told how “‘thick’’ our workbooks would be at the end of the term and described the neatness and precision which must be preserved, so that the desk drawer and not the ash can might be the depository of our work. Mr. Fenninger, whom we next met, somewhat assuaged our grief by telling us that there were no professors in the faculty and that, therefore, all the instructors were our friends. It was with sincere regret that we lost Mr. Fenninger at the end of the term. During the short time we had known him he won a lasting place in our memories. Mr. Heyman showed us how to work with “‘Pep ’ and as a side line taught us some mechanical drawing. Necessity is the mother of invention and so with Mr. Saylor we became pro- ficient in the art of dodging. Mr. Saylor later had us in the foundry where we learned that, by definition, to mold is to become “Moldy”. Mr. Hillyer in the forge shop and Mr. Woods in the Physics “Lab.” proved themselves good friends. Under Mr. Isenberg’s careful tutorship we learned to calculate the price of any number of apples under any possible con- ditions. In the second year we found the work even more interesting because of the opportunity to put the first year work into prac- tice. Another change was noted in a more intimate relation- ship between student and faculty. Dr. Rogers made the In: dustrial and Organic chemistry very interesting, but even he could not entirely dissipate the entangling intricacies of Or: ganic Chemistry. Mr. Lafferander was a good friend in and out of school and cleared up many of our troubles in Technical analysis. Mr. Austin has been with us throughout the two years more than any other of the faculty and we must admit we don’t see how he stands it. At the end of our fall term we were again unfortunate in losing one of our best liked instructors, Mr. MacCoul. We have all missed Mac’s “‘sit down and shut up”, his ready wit, and unfailing good judgment. Mr. Hodge who took his place, has been a worthy successor. Mr. Loughlin has been carefully leading us through the devious pathways of design and Mr. Jones handles our machine work with a great deal of oratory. In the school activities the class seemed to find its working medium. In athletics particularly we have been shining lights. Our teams in every case, have been worthy opponents and have generally stood high in the interclass league, not failing to win their full share of championships. The Chemistry base- ball team, composed largely of men of the 1920 class, easily gained the leadership. The Bowling team won the 1919 championship and the present team is well on the way to another. Our team was run- ner up in the Spring tennis tournament and put up a good fight in the final three game series. After the separation in June, our class may, as a whole, never meet again. Close friends may be so influenced by events that they may part forever. We are passing into what, to us, is the unknown. Let us not forget.

The Wohler Chemical Society was founded with three mo- tives in view. Perhaps the first of these in order of importance was the desire on the part of the founders to foster a spirit of good fellowship, coupled with unity of thought and action among the three prevailing classes of Industrial Chemistry; second, to provide an outlet for the expression of individual thought in the form of discussion of educational items; and third, to bring the members of the Society in contact with men who are specialists in their work, for the pur pose of broaden- ing their vision with reference to the vast field of chemistry. In furtherance of these aims, the following activities were carried out for the season of 1919-1920. The first Wohler Meeting, the last of September, was well attended by both day classes. Necessary business was transacted and arrangements were made for the first monthly meeting which followed short- ly, in the early part of October. The speaker of the evening was Dr. Allen Rogers who delivered an illustrated talk on “Ocean Leather. ” At the second meeting, held a month later, Mr. Charles M. Allen gave a very interesting though gruesome talk on the “History of Poisons.’ Later in January Mr. C. E. Bivins rendered a lecture with demonstrations, on “The Manu- facture of Parchment.” The Society congratulates itself on its ability in securing Mr. Maximilian Toch who gave a vivid account of the subject of ‘Camouflage.’ Mr. Toch, who was the head of the Camou- flage Department of the U. S. Army, was especially well fitted to talk on this subject. The next speaker of note was Dr. Dannerth, consulting chemist for the City of Newark. His sub- ject “Laboratory Management” was filled with well chosen remarks on how to proceed on the rocky road of Life toward the goal of Success. In conjunction with the main speakers, the members of the Society were given ample opportunity to talk on any subject in which they were particularly interested. As to the social activities of the classes, it is to be noted that all affairs were attended by a degree of success that was the envy of competing functions. The two social events drew large numbers from all three classes. A number of the faculty were present on both occasions. Memory will tarry long on these two pleasure-festivals. The officers chosen for the season 1919-1920 were: Ad- visor, Mr. R. L. Lafferander, President, R. W. Lamenzo, Vice- President, C. Whitehead; Secretary, R. W. Linder; Treasurer, J. F. Daily. Much commendation is due to these men who served the interests of the Society, loyally and devotedly.

Our first timid steps were taken with Mr. Allen, our Course Supervisor, who tried to impress us with our importance as coming chemists and of our colossal responsibility in keeping Under his fatherly care we became acquainted with the deep secrets of atoms, up the traditions of the Chemistry Course. ions, and electrons. Mr. Bivins introduced us to the Chem-ic-al Lab-or-a-tory, a large place with white tables, water faucets, and a bad smell. Here we learned the science of smashing glassware effectivly and the art of burning our fingers with minimum difficulty. Our work in Qualitative was ably assisted by Mr. Dowd, who, after peeping into his little Baedecker patiently answered “Yes” or “No” to our guesses. From practical experience we strongly recommend that a Ouija Board be included in our Laboratory Equipment. After a few sessions with Mr. Ballou, we found that our chances of ever learning anything were slim. Such “‘stuff’’ as we turned in, in mathematics, was fit only for the D. S.C. We began to look forward to grades like 4 — 23 Our success in Mechanical Drawing was simply phenomenal. We drove our first instructor to desperation so that for conso- lation he fled to the Senoritas of South America. His successor, Mr. Loughlin finds that although we do no work, we finish our drawings so quickly that each of us has hours of time stored up for future use. The voyage through wood-working is generally a difficult passage for chemistry men, but with an able “‘Saylor’’ as pilot, our course was made “plane and square.’ We can proudly af- firm that we have learned to discriminate accurately between a hatchet and a screw driver. Mr. Phelps found us so dense in Mechanics that he had to take many “moments” about each point, often using energy, force, and work. The acceleration of the velocity left us un- moved and the lines of force often overstrained our elastic limit. “Forgery” is against the laws of New York State, but Mr. Jones handled the subject delicately and kept us under control by the fireside, hammering various kinds of nails (finger, in- eluded): In the Foundry, the class found making sand pies no child's play, but were determined, however, to make a casting or “die” in the attempt. The foundry had no terrors for us and when no rain was expected we did not mind even cleaning the cupola. The first social event of the class took the form of a smoker which was held at the Club, Friday, February 13th, 1920. A group of highly talented members of our class furnished a pro- gram of amusement of exceptional interest. Among the artists may be mentioned Messrs. Harris, Demarest, and Whitehead. The less talented among us humbly contributed to the success of the occasion by making calories out of sandwiches and oth- er food-stuffs. The First Year Chemists have no separate class teams, but our huskies ably did their part in maintaining the chemistry standard. Santorallo, Loughheed, Bernhardt, Miller, and Hall have starred on the basket-ball arena. ‘Derby’? Thomp- son never failed his cue in the green table matches. “Professor” Gormley sends the wooden sphere “rolling down to Rio” in the only profession in which strikes are encouraged; while Tirrell tries his best not to make “‘love’’ over the tennis net.

Kaup, one still strong in the memories and traditions of the school, was head of the Ma- chine Department, there was born to Pratt Institute, a class so small that it almost escaped being named. In fact only seven men made up this class of “special machine” students. Their schedule was somewhat uncertain, except in respect to machine shop work, for the reason that Mr. Kaup, then known as the “boss’’, took care that no student had any unused time in the shop. The records show that the certificates granted these men were the same as those given to the graduates of the three year eve- ning machine work. This gives us the clue that identifies the type of man as being one who obtained in one year of inten- sive day instruction what the same man might have gotten had he stayed on the job days and come to “‘Pratt’’ for three years at night. « In the year 1905, this still small child of about three years was taken to the altar and with due ceremony christened “Machine Construction”. With such a worthy name,—and a program of five doses of mathematics and mechanics every week, taken alternately, mechanical drawing, and with related shop work, the number of students soon grew from twelve to twenty. Ten of these on one ever eventful day in June received handsomely and appropriately engraved certificates, bearing the name Machine Construction. Full classes running as high in number as 43 show the de- mand that was made on this one year trade course. Up to and including the year 1913, men were admitted to this class, who entered the two year engineering courses of the school, later. This had the effect of dividing the class into two groups, one of which desired trade instruction and the other a preparatory course. With the assistance of Mr. Edmands, our then new Director of the School of Science and Technology, the course was restricted to trade students only, a move which has done much to make the course a success. This requirement is still rigidly adhered to. In June, 1913, Mr. Kaup severed his active relations with the Institute to reenter the commercial field. For the next two years, Mr. Sherman had charge of the Machine Department and with it the Machine Construction Course. This work was then passed on to a man well known to all graduates of Pratt during the last ten years, namely Mr. Burley. And now a few words regarding our instructors. There is Mr. A. W. Smith, who, for a number of years, has greeted every student entering the course and said “good luck” as he left. Mr. Berghardt, who endeared himself to all men in this class, while here, aided greatly in laying the foundations of the course, Mr. Ballou is another to whom the machine construction men for the past thirteen years must give due credit for the help and inspiration he gave. Students who were here when Mr. Ratsch was in the shop are no doubt sorry that the coming classes will have to miss his help, and the men who have studied under Mr. Newberry will have the same regret. As to our present instructors, to whom we owe whatever has been accomplished during the year, Mr. Martin and Mr. Bare never fail to keep the boys on the jump during the day and Mr. Robertson is equally alert in assigning work to keep us awake nights.

They knew the call for attractive country homes and practical city buildings and realized, as only young architects can, the demand for reforms in architectural work in the near future. Owing to war conditions, a new schedule of instruction was formulated to meet the require- ments of the “Structural Engineers Course’, prescribed by the government. As this necessitated the changing of some class-rooms into barracks for the S. A. T. C., the architects were obliged to work in the jewelry room, apparently to test their honesty and patriotism. Gerald C. McMillen was president during the first term. The class made good progress considering the unusual difficulties encountered in becoming accustomed to daily military drill, and to evening homework which might well be called advanced lessons in letter writing. Many new acquaintances were made at the annual ‘‘Smoker’ given by the senior architects in the Men's Club. Everyone did justice to the “‘corncobs”’ filled with “Pp. A. during the dramatics so that the dense atmosphere per- mitted Abe Kaplan to perform his magic stunts with ease. A return party was given later in the season by the juniors, the most enjoyable feature of the evening being a race for second and third plates of ice-cream. Early in December the S. A. T. C. disbanded and Gerald C. McMillen, C. Mark Mc- Laughlin, C. Van Rees, Adolph Neulinger and Charles Seitel left school to resume their former occupations. Irving McCon- nell, Norman Braley, Cornelius Hicks, William Bisland, Thomas Beggs, Paul Lang, William Longyear, Wesley Parker, Ernest Johnston, Frank Bliss, Edward Casey, Lewis Finch, and Howard Richmond also withdrew from the class but resumed Art courses at Pratt and were still able to associate with us. The winter term was begun in the regular class-room work. The departing class president was ably succeeded by H. Law- rence Coggins while the recently vacated desks were soon oc- cupied by returning heroes from overseas. Mr. Perry's Recep- tion to the Art school was well attended by the architects, who here had opportunity to meet the faculty and young ladies of the art classes. The year’s accomplishments were not fully realized until the appearance of the annual Exhibition of the Art School in June, when many students were surprised to find their drawings en- titled to prominent wall space. Unusual interest was taken in studying the originality demonstrated by classmates in the solu- tion of seemingly difficult problems. The exhibition proved a worthy method of presenting the work accomplished in a practi- cal and thorough course. The summer vacation according to interesting experiences related in the class room, had offered opportunity for many to test their recently acquired knowledge in executing work of an architectural nature. In fact, the possibilities confronting Miss Alice Brown, John Griebel, Anthony Mowbray, Humbert Haig and Angelo Zava prevented them from returning to continue their second year. However, the returning ex-service men in- creased the class enrollment to thirty-nine; among those was Charles Pope on whom were conferred the presidential duties.

There were those who had just been released from the service of their country, those who had left positions to attain a higher education, and those who were striving to acquire the know- ledge necessary to earn a livelihood. Four of these persons were young ladies—shall we call this fact a “deus ex machina”? Thus the term began. During the first few days everyone displayed his energy. Pencils whizzed across the boards, and erasers were fast con- However this state of affairs was soon relieved by a shower of events. October the second brought Founder's Day, the birth-day of Mr. Charles Pratt. The Institute gathered en masse in the Emmanuel Baptist Church to commemorate the occasion. After Dr. Shaw read the Scripture, Dr. Albert P. Fitch of Amherst and Harvard addressed the school. It was a very impressive oration, one that will remain in the memory of those who heard it. Other events occurred. The park to the southeast of the library was to be opened to the public. A lawn party had been planned for this momentous occasion. Despite the weather, the faculty as well as the students paraded through every path of the grounds, waving flags triumphantly. The party resorted to the Casino where everyone became acquainted and had an all around time. The ball had started rolling and within a week it collided with a smoker. The victims escaped without serious injury— thanks to the senior architects. The Messrs. L. B. Pope, Charles H. Pope, and Gerald S. Vibberts addressed the cornpipe smok- ers. The speakers were delightfully humorous. Mr. Davidson entertained with cartoons. Then the attention of those present was drawn to the supernatural. The room became shrouded with mysticism. Abe Kaplan enchanted his audience, and made their hair stand on end. The entertainemnt was capped with music. We wonder why the “‘Quartette’’ did not sing ‘Drink to me only with thine eyes’. Yet they did succeed in reaching the hearts of their guests through their stomachs. We thank you, seniors, sumed. But the term did not consist of a series of social events, alone. Day after day, week after week, and month after month, the architects labored studiously over their drawing boards. The term was drawing to a close. Note-books and drawings were due; examinations were given. Time was valuable. How- ever there was Christmas in the air. Sprays of holly appeared in button-holes. Vacation had come. Considering all in all, we were a very lucky class. Forty-two of our members survived the first term. Although not with us in person, Miss K. Kells, and the Messrs. Heinrich and Hitchcock are remembered as congenial classmates. The life of the class was quite as bright as that of the pre- ceding term. The social activities were headed by a dance given to the Costume Illustrators. The architects did their best to make the affair a success with just what results, their guests were left to decide. February came—the month during which so many illus- trious men were born. Again the Institute assembled in the Emmanuel Baptist Church to celebrate the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. Dr. Brown of Yale delivered a splendid address. Those present were very fortunate to have the opportunity of listening to that speech. Although in truth there was a junior class and a senior class, still we were all architects. To strengthen this spirit, the architects held a dance on Tuesday evening, the ninth of March. As it was a privilege to be granted this favor, we acknowledged our appreciation and gratitude to those who Every architect invited his own partner. Two In our minds conceded. novelty dances were a feature of the evening. the party was a “blooming” success. Good times, however, are not complete without sports. At least, the architects think so. School would not be school with- out a game of pool, soccer, basketball or without a tennis tournament. The laurels of the first soccer championship game were won by the architects. Also, we stand a splendid chance of carrying away the basketball and bowling champion- ships. Thirty, sixty, forty-five T-Square pushers, we're alive Architects!! Architects!!

November brought us Peace Day, and set the world at rest We honored it with a parade; our teachers did their best To have us all assemble out on the lawn and sing, But we students decided that a snake dance was the thing. And so we had our snake dance, that covered many a block Our noise, with that of the faculty, made all the buildings rock. Imagine our excitement when Christmas vacation ceased; The S. A. T. C. had disbanded, our class had been increased! But to our disappointment, only five new men we gained And in our second year of school, just two more we obtained, However, they amuse us with their melody and wit For humor helps us do our work and keeps us feeling fit. Our social times were started, when the Seniors entertained, We all enjoy the party and many friends were gaine d. We returned their entertainmnt in a very fitting way. Next we had a circus and if you were there youd say, The fat lady and skinny man were very well portrayed By G. Watson and Mr. Finch respective parts they played. The rest of the year went by and many affairs were run, When June came ‘round we all left school with most of our labor done. We all met new experiences, greatest teacher of all, And each of us had things to tell when we met in the fall. In June we felt like children; when September rolled around Instead of joshing and nonsense, you couldn’t hear a sound. Our dignity as Seniors was very much pronounced; All of us aged o’er night, when teaching was announced. And oh, that practise teaching, ‘twas at first an uphill fight, But we've really learned to like it and pulled through it all right. A remark one Saturday, expressed our feeling in part. “I'm going to take in washing, if this is teaching Art.” And when our work grows irksome, and our brains seem over- fed We sleep, while hearing lectures on the History of Ed. And now may we say in closing (we've used up enough of space!) The memories of Pratt we hope time won't erase And now accept our apologies for putting this in verse Cause we are artists and not poets, so let ridicule disperse. Class Bistorp of General Art—1920 In 1917, when educational institutions were sharing in the national stress of war, the entering General Art class furnished such remarkable quality as to “‘spot’’ them at once and throughout their Pratt career as the finest class in the Institute. In fact right at the start they displayed so much enthusiasm that new rules and printed signs appeared, ‘‘No dancing on the roof.” The first year, the division of the class into two sections only heightened their enthusiasm by friendly rivalry which developed into a fine co-operative system in our second and third years. Many of our early fellow students answered the country’s call to arms, some left for different professions and some left for still other reasons. While our second year thus found our ranks somewhat thinned the class was not bereft of pep. in outside exhibitions and since then, the majority of Pratt contributions in New York and Brooklyn art exhibitions have been from General Art 1920. Even during the first year our class was well represented Our numerous class parties are noted for their unique entertain- Whether they be “regular” parties en- But we haven't confined all our energies to work. ments and fine “‘eats’’. dorsed by the faculty and paid for in hard cash, or an im- promptu feast in the studio, the same co-operatiove spirit makes it a success. As for athletics we blush to think what the Art school would have done without us. When it comes to Student Activities, well, we could get personal here but we won't. Just notice who is in the thick of all the big movements. In the composition of life, if we follow carefully the “spots” we have made in our student life, we can not go far astray. For we have our perpendiculars for aspiration, our leading lines to guide us, color to inspire us, contracts to lend interest and dark lights, though they may be hard, always will temper us and make our values more vital and real.

General Art TOP ROW—Bliss, Duym, Grabow, Simpkin, Longyear, Hicks, Richmond, Brown, Lichenstein. SEATED—Milham, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Herman, Riley, Frank, Leonard, Johnson. Ninety-three zl Sa aan ano en Soon Sennen oo oon oon SSRs Class History of General Art—1922 September 20, 1919 will go thundering down through the annuals of Art history as a date of equal importance with July first of that year. There is a slight difference: on the former date many things were opened while on the latter everything was corked. To be more explicit, Pratt opened on September 29th and in first year General Art a number of artists started on their smashing career to fame. They came from every nook and corner of the country following their favorite muse like the rats of old Hamlien fol- lowed the Pied Piper—as fine a lot as Barnum in his rosiest ever dreamed of. We had a notable example of the fallen eyebrow from Syracuse, several results of Flatbush’s effete training—not to mention a few perpetrations of Bay Ridge, Jersey and other alien lands. The disbanded A. E. F. unloaded several hardboiled ‘‘oeufs’’ who daily disturb the artistic atmos- phere of the studios by returning after recess with their smocks exuding the delicate aroma of Bull Durham and Meccas. Our first impression upon entering Pratt was one of awe, particularly after Mr. Allen laid before our startled eyes the prodigious program for the coming year. The afternoon of the same day we blossomed forth socially at the annual lawn party where each of us was to try to find birds of his feather. It is a wonderful help to find someone amidst the vast number of faces, who not only doesn’t laugh at your localisms but uses them himself and the grouping of the students according to the states has put many a heart at ease. Our class was divided into two sections, with Jim Daugherty, the versatile Pennsylvanian, at the Head of division “‘A’’ and S. H. Nelson, who hails from Chicopee Falls, Mass., king of wash drawing and dry humor. The one thing we will say about our Presidents, aside from the fact that they have been capable and energetic leaders is that they kept us out of class dues. As a class our best attempt at anything social was undoubted- ly our trip to Bear Mountain, early in the school year. It has been suggested that its success was due to the fact that the chaperons missed the boat. About this you may draw your own conclusions, though we have expressed the unanimous opinion of the class. Of course the distressing discovery that work was expected of us at Pratt was inevitable (did we not have Mr. Skidmore two mornings every week?) Our own opinion is that even the skeleton is afraid to rattle his bones in the class, though it is said that some of the girls in Division “‘B” are not. Poetry and music are second only to Art with us. It usually works out like this: a forty minute lecture on conduct by Mr. Skidmore; then he leaves the room for parts unknown. Result If one of the class is ill, as most of us have been during the winter, he is a concert weird, wild, jovial, jubilant, jazzy. the recipient of great bundles of good cartoons and bad poetry. Our class was the sole possessor of the Art School tennis team made up of Jackson and Daugherty who took third place in the tournament. The same pair represented the Art School in the pool tournament until illness brought a forced vacation to the latter and his cue was handled by Lyndes or Sobel, also from our class. We had three men on the soccer team—Ryan, (Captain), Jackson and Watson, and on the baseball team Sobel, Dobson, Sackren and Stimpson. In the field of matrimony Donaldson took the lead and deserted us at Christmas time. To date no one has followed his splendid example, though one never can tell (Spring is just getting under way at this writing!) We know he is as good a husband as he is an artist and our best wishes go to the Donaldsons. Sanford Gerard, early in the winter term, became so in- terested in the study of anatomy that he had them remove his appendix, for closer examination. He is on two feet again and no doubt expects to come back with us. In closing General Art | wishes to thank the other art classes for their party, without a doubt one of the years happiest and cleverest entertainments; to extend its regards to the other schools of Pratt, of the Faculty, and to the Prattonia, knowing that this issue will be followed by issues more complete and excellent each succeeding year.

While the deeds of all our men who served will linger long in our memories, we can never forget those whose sacrifice was the gift of life itself. Uc It has been said that a nation is but the gift of its own people to posterity—each generation enjoying the fruit of the is au I gil peop Pp y ch g n enjoying Ti last, yet each compelled to give towards preserving it for the next. Today we are enjoying the priceless gift of peace, yet we lose its greatest blessing and fail in our duty, unless our joy springs from the deepest gratitude and truest realization of our Tu simple duty to those who so dearly purchased it for us. (ue As true gratitude seeks expression, so must we try to live for the ideals for which they died, and as the past generation iu J has handed down to us a beautiful example of loyalty to their heroes, may we do likewise and give to the next the example of ue on our genuine manly Americanism, which, although it can never atone for the loss of a single life, may help to prevent the — fl.

NEHEMIAH BOYNTON DR. AVERY A. SHAW Pratt Institute wishes to send out graduates who are educated in the truest sense of the word—men and women trained in hand, in mind, and in heart to become worthy citizens of this country. As one influence to this end, voluntary chapel exer- cises are held in the Assembly Hall of the School. The Institute is most fortunate in the choice of a chaplain, Dr. Nehemiah Boynton. While Dr. Boynton is the pastor of the Clinton Avenue Congregational Church, he is also widely known as an orator and a man of broad and sound ideas. Asa college preacher he is popular in our universities, everywhere. He is constantly in demand for lectures, after dinner speeches, and for the thousand and one occasions where a man with a big heart and sound ideas is needed. To give a short account of Dr. Boynton’s life work and honors conferred upon him in many places is, of course, impossible, but enough has been said to prove our statement that the Institute is most fortunate. From the far corners of the land he brings a refreshing message broad and ennobling to all who hear him. We can estimate the value of this work as it has been carried on now for many years? Dr. Boynton says, “Il meet my boys and girls, now, wherever | go, and | think we can attach some real value to our daily Chapel at Pratt.” In the absence of Dr. Boynton, Dr. Avery A. Shaw, of the Emmanuel Baptist Church, carries on the work. Dr. Shaw is also a great friend to young people everywhere and he enters into the life and thoughts of the students at Prat in a way that is most hopeful and uplifting. He is greatly appreciated as an example of a true man and friend. No mention of chapel would be complete, if the name of Miss Mary Hobson were omitted. Miss Hobson is a musician of taste and skill, and she, too, has for a long time been exercising an influence for the good, the true, and the beautiful over all have heard her chapel playing. She is a worthy associate to Dr. Boynton and Dr. Shaw in their great work in our midst. Long live voluntary chapel at Pratt!

Regardless of how trying the case, she always shows the same kindly spirit and is ever alert to discover the things that will lesson one’s distress or add to their comfort. Those of us who have been fortunate or unfortunate enough, to have spent several days or even weeks under her care and mothering, feel we owe her an everlasting debt, for no remedy surpasses a pleasant face and a few kind words, when one is ill and many miles from home. Her promptness to see that every necessity is furnished almost immediately upon the arrival of the patient does much to banish the fear of what seems to be the dreaded entrance to a long stay at a hospital, but which later proves the next thing to home. westilibes Her work is not confined to the doors of the Rest House. It also includes her presence a few hours daily at the Institute, caring for students with minor ailments. Here again her caution and kind attention to even minute ailments we believe results in the prevention of much serious illness. Nor are her ministrations limited to students, only. Many an instructor in the Institute has reason to sound her praises for kindly advice or skillful treatment which has given courage and ultimate recovery. = UF UR RU RIUR o S S SAS nS an ana na a eo eaete ealelen oeDor See Pena t 7 ae ‘ tit gt £ the tie on “ a 4 @ “ an” er nt te Ps) ae ar Ls a 3 { ¥ Hey tg hy FW ys % tat st a eae HM j BR ‘ ‘ vw WD gas v NOVELTY DANCE es of the S. and T.

Stet tet et oA eine Students Council on Social Activities When considered from the standpoint of its varied activities, the Students Council, although but two years old, is a well organized, experienced body. It has for its members the class presidents, a member from the Women’s Club, one from the Men's Club, a representative from the Athletic Executive Board, and four faculty advisers, one from each school. It can be readily seen that with such a body what truly large projects can be carried through. The council has been able to assist and work actively during the year at the dances which followed the Basketball Games. A conscientious floor committee of five members, chosen every two weeks, has been on hand to assist in making these dances very enjoyable affairs. The chief activities of the committee consisted in promoting the true social spirit between the young women and men at these dances, by proper introductions and other courtesies that help so much to make an affair which in- cludes a large number of people, a more intimate and enjoyable function. General activities at Pratt are always backed and supported by the council. This function of the council can be better appreciated when it is considered that the institute is composed of four distinct schools which have little in common, and whose many varying interests are correlated and unified by the council. To be more explicit, school dances, school outings, school socials, recitals and many more social activities, are materially aided by this organization. However, we see still more work to be done and earnestly desire the increased and continued cooperation of our class- mates and the Faculty in the years to come. is i LR = eiiet G J Reighborship Association Chapter of the School of Fine and Applied Arts During the year 1919-20 the students of the school have contributed very generously to the association in various ways. As designated by our title of long standing, the aim is “To help the other fellow.’ This is being adequately accomplished through Normal Training, Cooking, Sewing, Craft, and Gymnastic classes which are being supervised and taught in various centers in and about the school by a large corps of voluntary workers. Talent, as an aid to filling up programs for entertain- ments, has been another big field for work. Half of the general contributed fund is turned over to the General Neighborship Association and the remaining half is applied to the Scholarship Fund.

One Hundred and Six 2 ania i enti = ur : Yeo Me = a4) SSSA oro UAT anon sana anno ener arnn an, The Pratt Institute Neighborship Association The Neighborship Association is a society of students, instructors, directors, and trustees, which for twenty-five years has fostered a spirit of fellowship in the Institute itself and has helped many outside the Institute by volunteer service at settle- ments, schools, missions, and churches. During these years the effort of the Association was directed chiefly toward the support of the Greenpoint Neighborhood House, which long took the lead in all movements for the improvement of social conditions in that section of Brooklyn. On July 1, 1919, with the sale of the house, the Astral Settlement passed out of existence. The Neighborship Association, however, still continues very much alive. When the Institute reopened in the Fall, a meeting of representative students and instructors was called by Mr. Charles Pratt, and it was unanimously decided to continue the work of the Association with special emphasis upon activities looking to the betterment of the Pratt Institute neighborhood. In January, the annual meeting was held in the Assembly Hall to elect officers and to acquaint students with the needs of the community. The following general officers were elected: President, Mr. Charles Pratt; Ist Vice-President, Miss J. A. Rathbone; 2nd Vice-President, Mr, C. M. Allen; 3rd Vice-President, Miss E. C. Condit; Secretary, Miss Margaret E. Middleditch; Treasurer, Miss Mary B. Hyde. Mr. Pratt explained the purpose of the Association and made a special appeal for all members of the Institute to take some part in its work. Dr. L. Mason Clarke gave an inspiring talk on the purpose, motive, and method of neighborliness, and Mr. Seymour Barnard, of the People’s Insti- tute, and Mr. Paul Rapp, formerly of the Men's Club, told of definite opportunities for service at the Community Center in Public School 157 on Taaffe Place and at the Emmanuel House on Steuben Street. The Fine and Applied Arts Chapter at its reorganization meeting elected the following officers: President, Miss L. Irene Hardy; Secretary, Thomas Beggs; Treasurer, James P. Murphy. The Science and Technology Chapter election resulted as fol- lows: President, J. F. Malone; Ist Vice President, Stephen Hurtuk; 2nd Vice-President, Charles Knudsen; Secretary, Maurice Macaulay; Treasurer, Charles Bullock. Both the Fine and Applied Arts, and the Science and Technology Chapters have estab- lished new records for membership this year. The response to the call for volunteers has also been extremely gratifying, over thirty men having served as leaders of gymnasium classes and boys’ clubs at Emmanuel House and Public School 157, A start was also made in cooperating with the Central Y. M. C. A. in its Americanization campaign among factory workers. The Southern and Gestern Club Along about the middle of October, the students of Pratt Institute were surprised to see posters on the bulletin boards announcing a meeting of the Southern and Western Club,—which last met in 1915. Those coming from below the Mason- Dixon line and west of the Alleghanies were urged to attend, with the result that a large number turned out at the first meet- ing. The following officers were elected; Joseph Levinson, President; Miss Helen Hoyt, Vice President; Dwight Closson, Treasurer; and Miss Jenness Smith, Secretary. The first social was a dance given in the music hall on October 24th, which was a very big success. A party in the Women’s Club during November was also a very enjoyable affair. On the thirty- first of January, a Combined Club Dance was held in the gymnasium. On April 9th, the combined Up-state and Southern and Western Clubs held an “‘Open House”’ party in the Men’s Club. The general opinion was that this party was one of the best events of the year. A club pin was designed and adopted as standard. Although handicapped somewhat on account of the large number of affairs this year, the club has had great success, and it is hoped that in years to come, those who come from the South and West will continue to carry on the work of making school life more enjoyable.

However, with the opening of school this year, some of our instructors and the secretary of the Men's Club decided to attempt to revive the interest in the Glee Club. Accordingly an organization was perfected, a pro- fessional director secured, and rehearsals were begun. Thus far the club has given an informal concert at the Em- manuel Baptist Church, and a noon recital in the Institute au- ditorium. The noon recital was well received and showed that earnest study had been put upon a well balanced program. It is the desire of the present members of the Club that they may succeed in permanently establishing a Glee Club, whose annual concert will both afford a pleasant evening of song and entertainment, and by the dignity of its performance contribute to the prestige of the Institute. The Nutmeg Club The Nutmeg Club, after passing through a dormant period, started early in the fall of 1919 to regain its reputation as the largest and liveliest club at Pratt. The fact that there are more people from Connecticut enrolled in the student body than from any other single state, perhaps accounts for the size of the organization. The loyalty which these members hold for their state, is evident from the fact that the blowouts given by the club are always well attended—hence the more fun. Many of the alumni have lent their support from time to time, and this has contributed to our success during the past year. Did you know that the alumni have a ‘“‘Nutmeg Club” of their own? Sure they have, back home in the wooden state itself, with headquarters in New Haven. At the first meeting of the Club, last October, the following officers were chosen: President, Gordon H. Thornton, M. E. '20; Vice-President, Carl Weibel, E. E. '21; Secretary, Miss Mollie Magee, Normal Art; and Treasurer, Ralph Partridge, E. E. ’21. It was voted to have a good time at least once a month, and so the fun started. The first stunt was a Hallowe'en dance in the Men's club. Jack Malone as chairman, guided the crowd through the intri- cacies of a “Paul Jones’’ which ended more like a marathon than a dance. Jack says there is nothing like a Paul Jones to make the ice disappear. In November, an outing was planned for a dog roast on the Palisades. “Dogs’’, coffee and cake were served, under the direction of Steve Hurtuk, and games were enjoyed after the feed. Then began the real fun of climb- ing the steps to reach Dyckman Street Ferry. Now Dyckman Street and Fort Lee ferries are about five miles apart, but far be it from the hikers to ponder such a de- tail. They just kept on climbing until they reached the top when they found themselves miles from nowhere and not a ferry in sight. After a little wait, however, they were able to tumble aboard, where they entertained themselves with singing and dancing to the tones of the accordian. Not many of the crowd returned home for supper. January, being the coldest month of the year, the club en- joyed another social at the Men’s Club. The extra large attend- ance was probably due to the fact that Al Partridge had a keg of sweet cider on tap. In February, the Nutmegs joined with the other clubs in a combined social and dance in the gymnasium. At this writing plans are in progress for a day's outing on the Hudson, when the weather permits. Who knows but it may in- clude a trip to Bear Mountain, with its fascinating scenery. Taking it all in all, the year has been a very successful one, that will not soon be forgotten.

A ed est Ste eld et eS _ ett Message from the Alumni Association To you, the GClass of 1920) we alumni extend our greetings and welcome. You represent a stalwart increment to the ranks of Pratt men who have gone before you, and we hope to feel from you an infusion of new life-blood into our Association. The graduate is often pictured as one about to step out into another world, about to suffer (or enjoy!) a complete meta- morphsis. We would have you view it rather as an enlarge- ment and extension of your scholastic activities, as a maturing and ripening of those same attributes with which you were sur- rounded at Pratt. We know the Institute well enough to ap- preciate that it has inspired you with the spirit of idealism and of practical usefulness. We know the world well enough to be convinced that these are the essence of its demands. We have, therefore, no hesitation in saying that you will find the spirit of the industrial world to be surprisingly akin to that of Pratt, and we trust that you will find the Alumni Association equal to its role—and if not equal, that you will help to make it so— its role of tying together Pratt men who have infiltrated into the mill of life, tying us all together naturally, helpfully, and humanly. You younger men will find need for the Alumni Association, especially in increasing your sphere of acquaintance and con- tact. We older men have more need for it in maintaining the friendships of our good old Pratt days. We all appreciate more and more that in walking through life we cannot accumulate too much experience or too many good friends. We hope you will take full advantage of the Alumni Association in doing this and share it with us as your very own. The most effective instrumentality we have with which to cement together our organization, is our paper, Newsology. We want you to feel henceforth that this is your paper and that, as such, you will add your interest to it and contribute news and articles. There is every reason for healthy growth, for the paper is still young, the spirit of the Association is de- veloping well, and the numbers of alumni are rapidly mounting. There is, of course, the usual difficulty of organizing and carry- ing out the editing and business work. In this also, we will need your interest—and indulgence, if such a matter as a printers’ strike, to say nothing of an editor’s pen cramp, should delay an issue! We hope that the carrying out of this work will be facilitated by couducting it in closer co-operation with the School. Another phase of the Alumni Association interest is athletics and particularly Varsity athletics. Heretofore, the Association has not been very active along this line. We wish, however, to lend a greater hand and will appreciate any par- ticipation you may be able to give, especially from those of you who will remain about town. Our largest single function is, of course, the Annual Re- union Dinner and Field Day. “This is the time for all good men to come’’—not so much “‘to the aid” as to the enjoyment of their Alma Mater. This is the kind of occasion on which you simply must not be penny wise and pound foolish. Your experienced seniors are inclined, but do not quite dare to ad- vise you even to put off marriage for the first few years, if that misfortune is necessary to enable you to come back annually to your adopted home! This is one of those things, the value of which one should not attempt to measure too closely in dollars and cents. Often a little trip and change of scene and outside contact will do wonders in more ways than merely pleasure. In concluding this little introduction and welcome into the Alumni Association, we would ask that in coming out with us into the industrial world, you carry strongly in mind the im- portance of the engineer to our national life and to humanity at large. Since the advent of the machine method of produc- tion, the economics of life have been placed increasingly in the hands of the engineer. Though it may not yet be sufficiently well recognized, he holds by virtue of his training and the re- liance which is placed upon his knowledge, a position of trust among men. To make full use of your opportunities as an en- gineer, in producing for your fellow men and in obtaining the reward which follows, we ask you to take a large view of, and an interest in, human affairs generally. However technical your work, do not give it your sole interest, but reserve a place—in both mind and heart—in which to contemplate sympathetically and intelligently the larger problems which confront us, the solution of which will tax to the utmost the method of analysis and the creative instinct so well developed in the Pratt engineer.

The team was confronted in its practice by lack of facilities and at various times by illness of its member s. The opposing team were much heavier and more experienced than ours; notwithstanding, the Varsity was successful in a number of its games. OLD RIVALS CONQUER. December 5th. Brooklyn Polytechnic.

Pratt led at half time, but in the first few minutes of the next period Fordham brought the score to 18-20. Roth pulled his men together again, and the nip and tuck was re- sumed. The intense excitement increased when Roth was knocked down, but in less than five minutes he ran wild and caged many baskets. From then on the team forged away ahead.

Hard luck seemed Pratt's lot at this game for the team was badly crippled by the loss of DeLand and Kruser, but by un- usual playing and determination our five came out on top. Every minute of the game was exceptionally exciting because of the constant change of lead. Roth starred, securing 17 out of 23 points and turning a defeat into a win by caging the ball from the foul line at the critical moment. When the whistle blew Pratt was at the short end of 22 to 21 but had still a foul to shoot. Making this good necessitated a five minute overtime, during which both teams struggled furiously to sew up the game but neither team increased its score. Once more, time sounded and Roth was at the foul line with the game in his hands. Again he made good. PRATT aH ee URSINUS ) B. Pt. Fd. F.

For did not I, along with other noble plungers, subsist on “‘sinkers and coffee” for two weeks after this game. Look- ing from the sport side, leaving the financial ruin to fond father or Uncle's cheques, | really think the loss was well worth while. Was there ever a better game with such a hair-raising finish? Each and every member of the Varsity should be awarded a D. S. C. for the way he plugged on to nearly a victory. There is no need of mentioning any particular star of this game for our eyes were nearly rolled out watching the last few minutes of play.

One Hundred and Twenty ‘ s SSNS Nanos en aon Sennen ren ronnie s oF parma Sanne onan aan nr Wrestling at Pratt Mnstitute During the past year wrestling has become popular in all the colleges throughout the United States, a large number of which have been represented for the first time in years by a wrestling team. With this group may be classed Pratt Institute. Basketball was the only recognized varsity sport in the school, and it was somewhat of a task to obtain candidates for a wrest- ling team. Everyone possessing athletic ability wanted to play basketball so that he might have a chance to obtain his varsity letter. Due to the efforts of a few enthusiasts, fourteen men reported for practice on November 19th. Exactly twenty-two practice periods were available before the first contest, which was held in the Pratt Institute Gymnasium on January 31st, with Polytechnic Institute as the opponent. The result of this meet was very encouraging. Pratt with a team that had never before been in competition, succeeded in holding “‘Poly’’, a team which had been working together for three years, to a tie. This seemed to arouse more interest and several new candidates reported prior to the team’s next engage- Inter-Class Bowling Tournament Unusual interest was shown in the bowling tournament this past winter. The competition was spirited and resulted in many close games. Chemistry led the league with six victories and one defeat, thereby winning the championship. STANDING OF THE CLASS TEAMS.

A glance at the summary shows the results of the seasons competition and is conclusive proof that Pratt can develop wrestling as a varsity sport and will be represented by a team which will bring credit to the Institute. There is little or no equipment needed, thus making it an inexpensive sport. With wrestling a varsity sport next year it is safe to assume that enough candidates will be obtained to form a team which will do as well or better than the team which represented the Institute this season.

KRUSER L. C, SHORT On April 6, 1920, seventy-six prime athletes appeared on the gymnasium floor to participate in the annual pentathlon which is held during the last term of the year. As Pratt does not have a Track-team the athletes are kept pretty well shaded until this time, when great curiosity and enthusiasm is aroused to learn who is “King of the Athletic Stadium’. The jumping standards were arranged, the stop watches examined, the judges chosen, and the event started. At the close it was proven that Pratt has its athletes as well as its basketball players, tennis players, pool players, etc. Among those who turned out for competition were Short and Lockhart; old “‘Vets’’ of the gymnasium. hese men were students and competitors during the year 1917. Short, who triumphed by winning first palce in 1917, duplicated his per- formance by winning highest honors, again, this year. While Lockhart did not place in 1917, he certainly proved himself an athlete in taking second place. Kruser and Dearborn had a tough old tussle to determine who was third man, the fight last- ing well into the last event. Kruser finally stretched his score four points better than Dearborn. The prizes awarded were: Ist. place, Silver cup; 2nd. place, Gold medal; 3rd. place, Silver medal. In addition to the prizes for second and third places, all competitors who scored two hundred points were awarded bronze medals. The honors awarded, follow: L. C. Short, (Archt.) 2 R, J. Lockhart (M.

Globe.) uc Seana anata oases onsen aon Steve’s Only Rival Since some of the readers of this book have never met Steve, this page may not be as fully appreciated as by those who are acquainted with this unconquerable hero. Steve was not only known in social and school activities, but was also, an athlete. To hear Steve tell of what he might have done had it not been for well, we know not what, unless it was pity for his opponents, you would readily agree he should have lived in the days of the ancient Greek in order to meet at least one foeman fit to face him. Theagenes of Thasos would have given Steve the battle of his life. Many have probably never heard of Thea- genes. You will be surprised to know that Theagenes was the greatest fighter who ever lived. Theagenes was crowned with a wreath of victory 1,400 times. Think of it! And remem- ber, too, that in those days of old the boxers wore the cestus instead of the gloves. The cestus was a boxing glove made of iron and lead strapped on with leather thongs which extended to the elbow. The boxers fought to the death. Yet the mighty Theagenes survived, triumphed and died with his bloody head unbowed. This warrior was very strong. Naturally he had a big appetite. It was nothing for him to devour seven pounds of raw meat and seven pounds of bread at a meal, washing it down with four or five quarts of wine. It is said that he killed a four year old bull one morning and by nightfall had eaten the whole of it. You can take that story or leave it. Theagenes was dangerous even after death. Even his statue killed a man. This is an account of how a jealous boxer so violently hated Thea- genes that he would go before his statue and lash it with a whip, until one day the statue upset and fell on the jealous rival, killing him. You can imagine what a tough old baby Mr. Theagenes was. Our Steve would have had his hands full—no mistake. = thet ged get = red = et et ged =r Pet teeth Pet = asa aoa RoR eRe ai A URSA Soren an Se eth =p et tet te tet = pet = het Sei by =i i ain =i ein oA m2 Humoresgue TOM BEGGS Does our friend Tom do naught else but talk? Nay, he does that pass- ing well, but his energies are ex- pended in diverse ways. Who made the General Art Class of 1920 what it is; directly and indirectly? (Re- member our president is well taken care of this year) Who taxes Gen- eral Art. Thou? And so we could go on without end. Wherever you go it is Tom, the most active one. By the way. Find out where Tom goes these beautiful spring evenings. There is little “Skylarking” we fear. DAN CONTENT How doth our Danny improve each shining hour? Gaze upon the illustration—gaze upon the illustra- tion and you can readily see. It is an art with Dan. Go slow for there is more to tell. He is as active as a “March hare’ in school affairs and athletics. Watch him. Did we for- get his beauty? Nope. It is duly re- corded in our class characteristics. Hunt it up. MAX GORELIK What is it about birds of a feather? Well, anyhow here we have a dog and Max. No, we wish to dispel all doubts. Max is a true lover of them that walk on all fours and the dog evidently hears, “His Master's Voice’. Max may be going to kiss him for all we know, his lips are all set for it anyway. Look and see. NORMAN BRALEY This is a good picture of Homer, but around school his shadow is twice as long as he is. (Hicks must be somewhere near!) Braley would never pass up those flowers tho, since he’s gone in for poetry. Is he hurrying home to some _ waiting maiden? He never spoke of any local talent and yet—it looks like spring and he’s in a hurry. LEWIS FINCH Who is it that wears a smock of baby blue? Who gives utterance of great wisdom and keen analysis on subjects rich in dishes of lavendar? ‘Tis our good friend Lewis Finch. He it is the Normal Class look to for future artistic greatness. Go to it Lewis and our best wishes with you. HOWARD KNAPP Knapp? Knapp? Is that what the tailor talks about when he tries to sell you that suit? No. Prehaps it is the little siesta we sometimes take when hearing the art lectures. Nope, you are wrong both times. Our Knapp is Howard. There is more to tell but we lack the space.

Go into the exhibition room and you will find there something of Frank's to in- terest you. We worry though since spring has come. Frank sits oft and oft at the window sniffing the air and looking very sad. Is it spring or well—What? HAROLD McNULTY Now we read concerning Mac. who one day felt highly flattered when a maiden fair upon tipping over his violin case apologized and threw the remark to the winds that it was so small that it could not be seen. Perhaps that explains why Harold upsets the easels and water- pails so regularly when he breezes along. WARREN MOORE The more you see of Moore the more you like him so with just a glance at this picture you'll think quite a little of him. It’s very evi- dent that there is no one else in the pool for they'd be in the rear. War- ren is the sort that insists on getting ahead, not only in all athletics, but in school and its activities. The “God's” pooled (pardon the pun) the best they had of everything that man is made of and Moore was the result. FRANCIS KELLY There are men and men and men but few are cast in the mold of Francis Kelly, Yes he is Irish with a tongue as nimble as they ever come. It stings at times, but more often lets loose gloom killers of rare character. Have you ever seen a dredger eat into the sand? The simile is perfect when you think of Kelly and work. Play a little Kelly, play a little or you will never be able to control that hair of yours. CHESTER MILLER What keeps Miller so busy these days? Perhaps our illustration speaks accurately but we feel there is a lot untold. Stop! Perhaps we have only a suggestion. Let's think who is it that puts the cat out, locks the oors, sees that a certain note is in the bottle for he milkman, and tends the furnace? Why. ? Who but hubby. BEN PRINS Ben is the unknown possessor of an artistic nature. The truly great have long gone unappreciated, so it is with Ben. Benny gives his sould to the story of a composition. Cer- tain of the delicate feelings stimu- lated have found expression only in the sounds of the rarest quality. To date Mr. Taylor is unresponsive. Though Ben gives us a song for an illustration we trust he will never let one go for a song.

And from the darkness emerged the Chaplain and eyed the young men, sternly. “Young men,” said he, ‘‘do-you-drink?”’ “No,” came the prompt reply, “thanks, not so early in the morning.” Dr. Rogers in organic chem. lecture—‘‘An ester is a what of a which replaced by a what.” Miss Ahearn does not approve of Mr. Paul's flivver.

In Pratt they have a “‘slipstick,” A curious thing to see. But the things they make it do for them. It will not do for me. It does not help me multiply, It will not do division. It’s just a grind the devil pulled To banish our precision. When formulas are needed, Our stick will not derive them. The slide-rule works like magic. A wooden goat can't hive them. There's a slip about a slipstick, As betwixt the lip and cup, For everything | calculate, My slide-rule ties it up. I have a long equation And want a differential, I find it on the slide-rule, But—Check it with my pencil. The slide-rule shines with whiteness. Excepting the lines of black. We suffer in its presence, Like men upon a rack. But we expect its failings And inconsistency, For, After all, its merely A Hun Atrocity. But it avails me nothing To sit here and abuse it, I'll stop this footless nonsense And bone-up how to use it. He played her for a heart, She for a diamond played. Her father used a club, The sexton used a spade, TO A WELL KNOWN DEITY. 1 know it’s tough to write such stuff, y Muse is seeing red, And these poor lines are simply signs OF turmoil in her head. She cried, ‘You fool, I'm here to rule. You write that men may read.” And thus, you see, she forces me To voice my loathsome creed. In all the worlds, fair Goddess mine, Majestic and serene, There is no other can compare With thee, O Nicotine. The perfume of the air you breath ls comforting and sweet. Oh, may men never cease to come And worship at thy feet. Your life so pure, your soul so clean, Who will deny you these? And who can doubt your magic wand Has inborn power to ease The sufferings of the faithful ones Whose frames are racked with pain? You never dim the hopes of those Who follow in your train. When everything has gone dead wrong, And wheels of fate have turned To bring disorder into life, Then destiny is spurned; For sweet forgetfulness is mine. And always at my side Are you, O dear unfailing one, My ever watchful guide. My trembling hand, my quick-drawn breath, This fearful cough of mine, Are but the joys from incense burned Before your saintly shrine. I trust that you will help me bear My load of earthly cares, When trouble shadows me at last And takes me unawares. And when my eyes are closed in death And I have drained my cup And | lie in sweet Elysian Fields A pushing daisies up, Please think of me, O Goddess just, And mitigate my pain, And Oh! deliver me from need To ever smoke again! lel tpt hel i =ti=tgtet hes =tg=t ret et ded eked ed tl eget et eget et tpg Pet t= == Elsner a i, ME Hf = Y| go 77M EA } J ft a= : Banisid 7“ 0d ES .
