(10 P K A T r O N I A BIOGRAPHY HARLES MORSE ALLEN was the son of Dr. C v.u- vs F. Allen, a - Methodist minister and first president ot the L niversity of L ine. He prepared for college at Kents Hill Seminary. Laine, and then entered VVesleyaii L ' niversity, where he graduated with high honors, a memher of the Phi Heta Kappa, in lSiS2. He then taught Natural Science at Wyoming Seminary, Pennsylvania, until 1889, when he first became affili- ated with Pratt Institute as Instructor of Chemistr and Physics in Pratt institute Technical High School and Science and Technology Department. At this time Pratt Institute was in its infancy, and to Mr. Allen was assigned the task of shaping the first course in Chemistry. In carr ing out this task Mr. Allen was surrounded with innumerable difficulties that required experimentation, perseverance, patience and, above all else, untir- ing effort. The severe strain under which Mr. Allen had been laboring in time began to assert it.self, and he was, therefore, accorded a year ' s lea e of absence, which he passed in Europe as a graduate student in Chemistry and Research at Dresden and Zurich Polytechnical Institutes. Returning, he again entered into the life of the Institute, bringing with him a we.ilth ot new knowledge and practises for the Chemistry Department. The development of the Institute continued and in a scientific age like this, when the limits of know ledge are being extended so rapidly, new ideas had to be isualized and realized. Mr. Allen ' s isions in this direction were finally realized in the erection of the Chemistry Huilding and an enlargement of the work to meet the needs of students in Industrial Chemical Engineering. A true gentleman, a lo er of athletics, Mr. Allen is beloved and respected by all who know him. His life and his hopes are with the Institute. His earl return to perfect health was the hope and expectation of all Pratt students, th.it he might once more gicct us .-md cheer us on our wa -. [11 1 PRATTONIA Board of Trustees Frederic B.

At each meeting, gi e her greeting. Raise the proud salute. Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail, Pratt Institute. In our hearts her precepts linger. Her example gleams, Shoeing with unerring finger, Guerdon of our dreams. At our meeting, for our greeting. Bring her noble fruit. Hail to thee, our Alm a -Mater, Hail, Pratt Institute. Round the world the chain extending, Each to other binds. All her honored name defending, Hearts and hands and minds. pRAlT INSTITLTE was founded to promote industrial education, - ' ■ to inculcate habits of industr ' and thrift, and to foster all that makes for right living. It offers to both men and women day and evening courses in a wide range of artistic, scientific, mechanical, and household subjects, [13] P K A T T O N I A and conducts teacher training courses in art, and in art and manual training. The Institute was created and endowed by Charles Pratt, a practical and successful manufacturer who was deeply interested in education. Mr. Pratt was a self-trained man, and, in planning Pratt Institute, was guided almost entirely by his personal experience. He therefore made it a school where young men and women, circumstanced as he had been been, could have the chance that he had never had ; and, because he knew what they needed and why the average school had failed to give it, he planned with an insight and a foresight that have won both approval and admiration. The philosophy of education and life that Mr. Pratt had in 1887 when he founded Pratt Institute is as sound today as it was then. To him, education in its deepest sense meant experience. The development of re- sponsibility, initiative and character comes from doing things in a real way. The arts, the industries, and the home seemed to him to offer the best opportunities for true education, for their problems are real and concrete. While he never lost sight of the value of machinery in the industrial world, he put his especial emphasis on the value of the worker. To give training to workers, both men and women, and to make them intelligent, competent, and happy, was his purpose. To put into the average commonplaces of the shop and the workroom some of the inspiration of culture was his ambition. To do, in short, for the ambitious American man and woman some of the things which, by great effort and sacrifice, he had done for himself, was his reason for founding Pratt Institute. His philosophy of life may be best expressed by one of his sayings: Work is the essential part of life and nothing worth having 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 persistence and energ ' , and that means labor ; education comes from application and industry, and that means discipline; happiness comes from consideration of others, and that means imselfishness.

In |ire- paring this issue of Prattontia we have tried to keep this fact in mind, and to make a book which shall be truly representative of Pratt Institute. The features which seemed best in former issues have been retained and innovations which we felt would increase the attractiveness of the book have been added. In the arrangement of this volume it has been the pleasure of the Art Editor to have had the assistance of the students whose work appears herein and also various others who have contributed. AVe, therefore, offer this Prattoxia as the embodiment of our best efforts. If, in future years, it brings back to you happy memories of Pratt in 1924, our work will ha e been a success. ACKNOWLEDGMENT ' ' OURTEOUS acknowledgment is due those whose untiring efforts have been a large factor in the satisfactory completion of this book. To Mr. Horace W. ]VIarsh and Mr. Ernest W. Watson, Faculty Advis- ers, for their helpful suggestions during the year. To the secretaries of the four schools for their kind attention to matters concerning Pr.attonia. To the representatives, who have been so great an asset from the very beginning. And to the General Faculty in making ir possible for the production of this book.

Simmons NTKRING on September twentieth, nineteen twenty- twi), we as a class started the greatest adventure of our h eN w ith one ureat piirpo e in iew. W ' e little realized what we eie really beginning. Our Hrst day in the Institute and our iirst meeting ith the different instructors we will always remember. We soon found ourselves struggling with many unknown new propoMtions as our instructors endeavored to make these new ideas clear. The first term of school was like an introduction in a book. Many of us dill not realize what it was all about for many a da . i?ut as time passed with plent ' of work, we graikialh came to light and began to accomplish. Tlirough the first year we made a very creditable showing in all actix ities. The soccer team was formed mostly of men with little knowledge of the game. W ith practice and proper spirit they came veri ' near winning the championship of the school. Our experience in basket- ball was practically the same as in soccer. In all sports and activities M. E. ' 24 was there to win, and this s]iirit and determination often turned defeat into victory. At the end of the first ear, we were all looking for ar l to the time when no more homeuork was on our schedule. We much regretted the loss of a iew classmates, but, as circumstances alter cases, their leaving school was unavoidable, and the least we can do is to extend our best ishes to them for a bright and prosjieious future. After three months in various enterprises, we again as.sembled for the second and final ear, ready to study with renewed igor ant! ambitions. We soon learnril how sincere were our second year instructors and that our success was their interest. As time passed they seemed to keep the fire of ambition burning in us, [27] p R A r r u N 1 A regardless of the work the - handed out. ] Ir. Kottcanip, our course super- visor and instructor in mechanics, has given us the spirit that ivork is life. He will be remembered as a man who puts his life into his work. He has given us much in the line of technical training that we can never forget. Mr. Mudge, mechanical laboratory instructor, the man with the smile, one who is always ready to give you a cheering word of friendly advice, man of magnetic personality, who can be one of the boys, yet at the same time retain respect as an instructor. Mr. Hodge, mechanical laboraton- instructor, always ready to give a helping hand, was patience personified. Mr. Carr, electrical instructor, has done his best to put the proposi- tion across. We will admit, however, that he has had a hard task and credit is due him for his efforts. Mr. Marsh, mathematics instructor, aside from mathematics, instilled in us as one of the great features of his teachings the fundamental prin- ciples necessary to reach the pinnacle of success and to the de elopment of character. There is no doubt whatever that some of these principles have been engraved in our memory to the benefit of our future life. Mr. Harper, instructor in design, apparently is most pleased when nut witii the boys. In class there is no alibi for work. He does not believe in mixing work and play. A man whom no one can help but like, both for his willingness to give a helping hand and for his efficiency in his line of work. Mr. Baer, instructor in machine shop, the man who makes the most of time; ready to give aid whenever available; has a very difficult proposi- tion on his hands, but his efforts are appreciated by all of us. Industrial Mechanical Engineering ' 24 is coming through in many of the sports. Championship honors have already been awarded us in soccer, duckpins and pool. As the end of our school days are drawing nigh and a new life looms in the future, we will never forget the friendships and a.ssociations formed while here. Some of the memories may be tinged with regret, but the recollections that we hold very dear will more than compensate for the few [28] P R A T r ON 1 A res: rets i- may cntiTr.im. At sonic time or otiier we may ha e been rather skeptical, hut all this feclini; was remoxed li - a lar greater power. We owe a iir ' ' ' ' it debt to the Founder and Trustees, who h:i c made this possible for us; also to the Instructors who have fjiven their whole- hearted service to our welfare. In return, the best we can do is to go out into the great school of life and show that we are worthy of great things. The supreme power of man is to think big thoughts and make those thoughts come true. If we still retain this spirit and determination there is no reason why we should not reach the desired goal.

E. President J ' ice-President Secretary-Treasurer Abram Meister Harry H. Motheral Robert M. Herber Faculty Adviser Honorary Chairman Sterlixg W. Mudge John P. Kottkamp ' I ■ HE fifth annual organization meeting of the Industrial Mechanical -■- Engineering Association, held in May, 1923, residted in the election of the officers named above. At the first meeting of the new organization, in October, 1923, our Course Supervisor, in an inspiring talk, set forth the purposes of the Association, the high ideals we must ever hold before us, and the ethics of engineering which we must obser e if we are to contribute our share towards wholesome progress. A few weeks later came the pleasing news of our affiliation with the A. S. M. E. as a Student Branch. This affiliation, brought about largely through the efforts of Mr. Kottkamp, was a clear and welcome recognition of the work of the Association in past years. The meetings during the year have been, as far as possible, one- subject meetings; that is, all the speakers at a meeting delivered talks on various phases of one subject or on inter-related subjects. This not only made the meetings more instructive and interesting, but afiforded the speakers an opportunity to co-operate in the development of a subject. With few exceptions the talks were delivered without manuscript and were well illustrated by either drawings or films. Before the year ended every member of the Association had either delivered a talk or read a paper. During the Fall term two trips were held, one to the Seaboard By- products Company and the other to the Durant Automobile Plant in New Jersey. Both trips proved to be not only very interesting but extremely instructive. In December, by invitation, the Association was represented at the annual Student Branch Conference by two delegates who submitted a report of our progress. We had the pleasure during the Fall I 30 ] P R A T y () N A term of a talk, on Aeronautics b ' I ' rotcssor Alexander kleniln, ol New York University. This talk was ilhistrateil w itli li(les and was thnroiiLihly enjoyed. Among the interesting acti ities of the Wmtei- term was a trip to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The Spring term lias been full ot important aeti ities, .-niiong which were the Ninth Annual Intercollegiat ' Comention of Student Hranches, held in the Engineering Societies Building in New York; the amuial three- day Bethlehem trip; and the Kent Avenue Power Station triji. i:d 1 INDUSTRIAL MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 1925 President, Albert AIiles Treasurer. EvERETT Si ' OOR Vice-President. Tho.mas Fitzgerald Secretary. Karl Petersom TX T HEN September appears upon the eternal cycle of time new classes ' ' traditionally enter the gates of Pratt Institute. In September, 1923, among the entrants was one class distinguished from all the rest. This was Industrial Mechanical Engineering class of 1925, whose superiority no one could doubt. Early in the year the class began to pro e its athletic power. Its soccer team fought hard and well and only through respect for a second year team did it relinquish the championship. In track, bowling, pool, and all other sports, the representatives of the class, mostly winning, occasionally losing, proved themselves worthy rivals. The basketball team won a string of games in the championship series and further raised the record of the class. Scholasticall , tlie class soon started to make a record for itself. The high record of its predecessor was passed and new levels were reached. In physics the antics of the heavenly twins, known as Masters A and B, were studied until any member of the class could explain, imderstanil, and misunderstand problems with equal facility. The final analysis proved it to be a simple proposition. In mathematics, the blackboards of the Chem- istry Building were often co ered with work like had ne er before been seen. Early in the Winter term, Sinoplys and Cosadlys were flung fear- lessh ' by the hands of the class. So excellent was the mental standard that one classman who adnu ' ts .superhimian intelligence with the rest of us was openly called Dumbbell by the rest of us. Chemistry, foundry, forge sho ' i, drawing, and other subjects were each presented, to be vanquished. 1. 2] P R A J ' r U N 1 A But all work makes one dull. The soeial liti- of the class need hardly be retold. At any dance the class proved that Hoilermakers don ' t always swing sledges. The men realized the importance of decorating the Ryerson Street steps and almost every day the more self-sacrificing members showed signs of brotherly love. Furthei ' proof was in evidence in the after-dance vestibule scenes. With such occupations as keep us busy from morning to night time is bound to pass quickly. And pass it does. Finally vacation is here and each man, with a feeling of something accomplished, prepares vacation plans. Adams, Moxroi; 859 Monroe Ave., Elizabctli, N. J.

An environ- ment which was to teach lis not only lunv to make a living but rather how to live, and as we pass on from this surrounding in Jime, 1924, we shall all have learned that one lesson, and our association with the ideals in the Electrical Engineering course and Pratt Institute in ijeneral shall have accomplished their purpose with us. Intellectual achievements are the result of thought consecrated to the research for knowledge. Such achievements may be sometimes connected with ain ' ty and ambition, but they are the natural outgrowth of long and arduous effort, and of pure and unselfish thoughts, as illustrated by our school motto, Be true to your work, and your work will be true to you. It was with this thought that we entered Pratt, to give our undivided attention to the best of everything that will equip us for successful work. Two years of observance of this motto and the belief that keeping everlast- ingly at it brings success is now rewarding us with the completion of our course and has imbued us with a spirit to contuuie this observance and belief. Fresh from the Summer vacation of 192, we re-entered Pratt on September 26, for the last lap of our two years of pleas irablc study that was to equip us with the higher ideas and ideals in pursuit of our indus- trial pastime. We started this last lap with e erything in readiness to make it the best year e er in all branches of study and achievement. Refore we really had time to answer the question, How can we do it ' Santa Claus made his annual trip and not the least hoped-for remembrances were the reward for the scholastic effort. The adaptation of each student to his environment played an important part in the school life of himself and his class, but many other details were [.V] P R A T T () X I A of assistance, and we, the class of Industrial Electrical Engineering of 1924, cannot lay too much stress upon the hearty co-operation, patience, vigilance, and general activity of those who have been in such a great measure responsible for our successful years at Pratt Institute, our instruc- tors. In our course supervisor, Mr. Arthur L. Cook, we have all met, listened to, and studied for a man whose thought and character, as observed by us, was for but one thing, the electrical class of 1924. When we are on the threshold of the cold gray dawn of facts and realize that something will be required of us on the jobs beside hookups, we will with most pleasant memory recall a man whose qualities as an instructor are second to none, a man who also knew that keeping ever- lastingK ' at it brings success, the instructor for whom we probably have burned more midnight oil than tor anyone else, our teacher in Mathe- matics, Mr. E. P. Davis. It is not in the power of an E. E. man to make light of hookups and writeups, for without them all other information would not be of much use. Some of the boys took advantage of the two weekly quiz periods to square accounts with Morpheus, but in general the lab quiz introduced the slogan, Be Prepared. Mr. Maxfield is the gentleman who showed us how to make a motor run in both directions at the same time. When we step out onto the job we realize that we will not be called upon to accept office of chief executive immediately. Mr. H.P. Miller realized that, too, and, to prepare us for the bottom of the ladder, he taught us how to light a gasoline torch, drive nails, make holes in our clothes with battery acid, and other menial tasks. All this is characteristic of Mr. Miller, for he insists that in the vernacular of the electrical engineer H.P. denotes energy. One of the most interesting propositions we had presented to us was our work in design. Now we are supposed to know the whys and where- fore of everything electrical. When it comes to laying out plans for any- thing electrical, from a door-bell ringing system to a super power system, we can do it. There are many propositions included here and each condi- tion mav now be successfully dealt with, thanks to Mr. C. C. Carr. [58] P R A T I () N I A How hot is steam? How strong is sti-el ? How fast is a turhiiu-? All these things we wanted to know and, while in search for the answers, we spent three enjoyable hours each week in the classroom of a man whose history, politics, religion, age and hobby we knew tiie inst day, Mr. Sterling W. Mudge — fireman, politician, football and radio fan. ( ne of the most difficult tasks was that of Mr. Hurley, for it was his liuty to try to make a mechanic or a grease-ball from those wlio had chosen the refined vocation of the electrical expert. We soon learned from this part of the course that there are many wheels that turn more easily than those in our heads. As the time is at hand when our days shall be devoted to the pursuit of the elusi e dollar, we have every hope that the past two years will be fruitfid in reward and that we sliall not fail to demonstrate to our Alma Mater that she has not only taught us how to make a li ing, but how to live.

HerRMAX J ' ice-President, Otto E. ScHEXDEL E. P. CuMMIXGS Secretary, H. M. Harrixgtox R. W. Pratt THE Association consists of two branches; the Senior Branch consisting ot the second year men only, and the Junior Branch consisting of the first year men only. The two branches are the same with the exception that the activities of the Junior Branch are comprised of class speakers only. The Electrical Association was organized for a dual purpose: to hold meetings for the presentation and discussion of technical subjects and to give every man in the class the opportunity to speak before an assembled group. Few of us realize the great value of being able to go before a group of engineers or an executive board and speak with ease and force. The time is drawing very near when we will all be out in the field and will find ourselves called upon to speak before some kind of a meeting. Then the man who has taken advantage of his opportunities in the Electrical Association for practice in this phase of his education will be greatly in advance of the man who has not. This year a new system of assignment of speakers was adopted which helps to insure every man of his opportunity to speak. Assignments were made to each of the laboratory squads and the program of the meeting turned over to the squads. The subjects covered are usually based on the past experience of the speaker in the electrical field, or they may be prepared purely technical subjects. Some of the subjects presented this years are: Dielectric Meas- urements, The Oscillograph, Resistance and Measuring Instruments, Soldering, Submarine Propulsion and Control and Telephone Instal- lation and Maintenance. At a joint meeting of the Industrial Chemical, Electrical, and Mechanical Societies held in the Assembly Hall, February 7, under the auspices of the Electrical Association, Mr. Worthington C. Campbell gave [80] P K A r r () N a very valuable talk on the subject What You Should Know About Patents. The talk was a very clear exposition of the protections offered by patents. Mr. Campbell is a graduate of the Industrial Electrical Course of 1910 and is now a member of the patent law iirni of Reading, Greeley Campbell. Such a great advancement has been made in the educational film dur- ing the past few years that the program of such an Association could not be complete without its movies. The three Societies — Chemical, Electrical and Mechanical — have co-operated in joint meetings in the Assembly Hall twice monthly during the year, at which these films have been shown and discussed greatly to our enjoyment ami profit. In all the Association ' s activities for the year we have been helped and encouraged by the active interest and co-operation of our course super ' isor, Mr. Cook. SI INDUSTRIAL ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 1925 President, William Clark Treasurer, Frank Horrocks Vice-President. Frederic J. Porter Secretary, Robert W. Pratt TIME has again brought to our Institute the makings of future engi- neers. We were introduced and welcomed at the open house parties given by our worthy seniors. The first day we were divided into three sections, so it would be easier for Mr. Davis and Mr. Ladner to pound the math, into us. We were ushered before Mr. Lambe and Mr. Taylor, where we soon learned the knack of shorting instruments and breaking thermometers. By hook or crook Mr. Dunn and Mr. H. P. Miller taught us to imagine a point which ain ' t on the northwest corner of a plane just a little below the center Next, Mr. Jones and Mr. Horton enticed us to their domains in the Machinery Building, where we played in the sand and enjoyed charging the hungry iron-eating cupolas. From the foundry we attacked the forge, where Mr. Jones showed us the quickest way to destruction bv holding the acetylene torch against the oxygen tank; and steel minus carbon is iron, when it is not burned in the forge. The only thing we missed was the cooling zephyrs and the spreading chestnut tree. The midnight oil was allowed to cool only on the night of our first class smoker, where a few fellows missed the good entertainment and eats by trying out their first corn-cob. Our soccer team, under the guidance of Manager Bennington, fought against heavy odds, but with the spirit of an E. E. class. Christmas came at last and we hot-footed home (away from the [82] R A T T O N 1 A glamour ot Broadway), where for a few days we rested our strained brains. The Winter term opened all too soon, when Mr. Hi ins took us in charge and showed us the mysteries of dancing couples and what holds dumb-bells together. We are now preparing ourselves to take on the responsibilities and position of our senior class, so that the great E. E. spirit may not be lost.

Xii.ES Secretary, VVyatt Schooxmaker Vke-Fresiilenl. BeXJA.MIX J. jVIavo, Jr. Treasurer, W.M. HoRACK MACjlNE, if oii can, a painless Organic Chemistry Class. Can it be done? It can. Dr. Rogers accom- plishes this miracle (between stories) in fitty-seveii easy lessons! Not all of them are so easy, perhaps, because Organic Chemistry is a ilifHcult subject and knowledge is not contagious. But one thing is certain — Dr. Rogers ' classes are the favorite classes. There are few dull moments there. A few fall ictims of sleeping sickness and have to be re ived, but that is not often. Sometimes a rubber bulletin or who took who to the dance and how did he get that way proves more interesting than tetranieth 1 arsoniuni h dro. ide, and the court must be called to order by a rail on the desk. I sually a good time was had by all. What manner ot man is this miracle worker? To start with he is a good fellow and a regular fellow. So human, so easy to approach and so good natured is Dr. Rogers that one needs to stop to recall that he is a man of no mean attainments and an authority in his line of work. A thorough description of Dr. Rogers would sound like what they write on grave-stones. Each student knows where he can find a genuine friend and a wise one. From Dr. Rogers we have learned that Organic Chemistry should be studied on the way to church, to remember the dollar sign, and that reports should not be written on fly-paper. With the opening of the Fall term Dr. Snell came to the Institute and joined the immortals. He brought with him a collection of new ideas and a smile that is almost perpetual. His first job was to introduce us to the ups and downs of Technical Chemistry. Later he helped us bore our way into the dark recesses of Organic Chemistry. He warned us against distilling in a sealed svstem. but some of the more adventurous ones learned 187 1 P R A T T O N 1 A their lessons only in the bitter school of experience. While giving a lecture he never cared to compete with any of the students. If two men in the back of the r oom saw fit to enter into a friendly chat during the lecture, the instructor very obligingly came to a halt and then announced that when they were finished he would continue ! In the Chemical Laboratory we were fortunate in having at our dis- posal a self-starting encyclopedia in the person of Mr. Bruce. With the memories of student days still fresh in his mind he fully appreciated our difficulties and anticipated some of our questions before we asked them. He proved that he was a chip off the old block and a true disciple of the Rogers method of teaching by telling us a story the first day he lectured to us. Mathematics, which can justly be compared with sawdust as far as digestibility is concerned, was attached to us by Mr. Ladner. His patience and the manner in which he taught the subject were the only reasons why we ever finished those work-books on time. The skill and dexterity with which he manipulated that six-foot slide rule was encouraging to all of us. Months of study taught us that you can draw a straight line with a slide rule if both ends are held stationaiy. We also mastered the art of piling up numbers until vou got a result, but in our case it was not always a correct one. Steady and reliable and unfailingly cheerful is Mr. Hodge. There is just one time on record when he strayed from the subject for five min- utes ; being about as easy to shove from the path as an elephant. The memory of those Mechanical experiments will remain with us always, especially those that came hack marked incomplete throughout. Mr. Hess had qiiite a proposition in teaching us the Whys and Wherefores of design, but with his incessant efforts we could not help but get some idea of what it was all about. We were also guided by Mr. Hess in the Industrial Laboratory when his Why can ' t you do this? or Let ' s try this helped us out of many difficulties. In the Mechanical Lab. Mr. Olsen guided our footsteps to the various sources of knowledge. After a few words from him steam engines and dynamometers became simple pieces of mechanism. By the irony of fate, (88 1 P R A r 1 O X I A his first task was to instruct us in the operation of the Olsen testing machine. In our athletic activities we were fore -er foremost, always with the characteristic fight and stubbornness of all that is chemistry. In many instances we were outplayed but never outgamed. Whate er tlie odds against us, the final whistle found us fighting and hoping for the best. And now we must say farewell, as we go forth to the battle of Life, ambitious and armed with our store of knowledge and ideal of fair play.

Lupien WITH the- snap and pep that is characteristic of all that Chemistry does, the Wohler Association opened the social activities of the Men ' s Club b ' welcoming its first year students at a smoker. This affair must have convinced the newcomers that they had signed papers w ith an up-to-the-minute crowd of fellows. Even our instructors did their bit for the cause. Dr. Rogers was there with his ever-welcome witticisms, and Mr. Mantell astonished even the staid second year men by his readings from a little book he brought for the occasion. Oh, Mamma! What a book that was ! The first business meeting was held November 8, 1923, the speaker of the evening being Dr. Eldridge, of Cohnnbia University. He spoke on Electroplating as applied commercially, especially in the electro-reduction of copper. At the next meeting it was decided to get together every three weeks, instead of every month. Another innovation suggested was that of student speakers. We decided to give this idea a chance to prove itself good, and at a later meeting we had such speakers. Mr. May, of the Ladew Tan- nery, was the speaker for this occasion. He is one of our most successful alumni and gave a very illuminating talk on modern tanning methods. At our next meeting, through the efforts of Mr. Mantell. our faculty adviser, Mr. Brown, of Columbia L ni ersity, told of some research v ork he had been doing on the electroplating of chromium. He was very inter- esting and showed us specimens of some of his work. Three weeks later the student speakers did their stuff, c en the first year men participating. Mr. Benjamin Mayo spoke on The Future of Chemistry ; Mr. Geisler, Mocha Leather Manufacture ; Mr. Hess, The Purchasing of Second-hand Automobiles ; Mr. Ellison, Chemistry of Gun Making ; I Ir. Stoebener. Chemistry and Medicine. Mr. Allen I HM I p K A r U N I Rogers, jr., had liis father ' s note book aiul dispersed a little humor to round off the e eiiing. With the coniini; of sprinu; we held our annual beefsteak diiuier in the gymnasiLim. The best part of the whole affair was the impersonations of the instructors. 1 his ilinner surely surpassed any of the pre ious ones for a long way back. Hut the Wohler Dance was the affair which caused oui ' manl ' chcsl ' - to expand in justiliahle pride. The decorations, the music, the women- • Hot ratr Institute never witnessed such a dance in all its his tory. Our alumni in past years have boasted of their Wohler Dances, h.il we topped them. This affair will li e in oui ' memories for all time. Long live The Wohler. vi   « « [?- i Wl ' [ 105 INDUSTRIAL CHEMICAL ENGINEERING 1925 President. Allen E. Rogers Vice-President, Fred. F. Geisller Trcdsurtr. DaVE LaEMMLE Stcrt ' lary, Lee A. Ellison FIRST impressions are always lasting and our impressions as we entered Pratt Institute were no exception. We very soon realized that, in order to become a part of Pratt Institute, we must use these words for our motto, Work, work, and more work. Our expedition toward our goal was launched by Mr. Bivins, and through his untiring efforts we gradually became enlightened to what it was all about. Mr. Bivins introduced many inno ations which helped to make easy the rocky roads of our journey. In the chemical laboratory Mr. Mantell and Dr. Minnig did their utmost to enable us to distinguish acids and alkalies. At times the labora- tory looked as though a smoker was in progress. The evil that men do Ii es after them was once uttered by a famous playwright and this was surely brought home to us when we grappled with mathematics. However, Mr. Ladner ' s diligent and persevering methods soon brought us many rays of sunshine and it was not long before we were able to master the intricate functions of our mathematics course. We all realized that our English was far from being perfect, when, in the spring term, we were taken in hand by Mr. Marsh. His lectures and fatherly talks had such an appeal that they instilled in us a fond desire for this hour of study. Mr. Hostetter surely had some proposition and there were times when we did not blame him for throwing up his hands in despair. Incidentally, the willingness with which he tackled our difficulties soon brought results. [106] PRATT O N I A In the Machinery Building we came in contact with Messrs. Horton, Jones, Weil and Brennan. Here we were first introduced to a suit of overalls and it was not long before we found out that we really needed them. We look forward to our second year, when we shall penetrate the dark recesses of the various stages of advanced chemistry. AccousTi, Nicholas J 270 Bishop St., Waterbury, Conn.

MAX Associate — Hauk Lixdhhrc XTERINCr tin- Di-partmcnt of Archircctuic, I ' ratt In- stitute, in tin- tall ot I ' ' 2 1, there was a ,i;:allaiit little band of eladiators, anxious to become initiated into the mysteries of that ancient profession. Architecture. After finding our way through the many hallways leading to the Architectural quarters all hidden away in a corner of the grouii of school buildings, we assembled on that tirst morning in room 3 ' , imder the benevolent chair of lartlett. I he Architectural department, as ou probably know, is located on the top floors of the S. and T. ami Fdectrical buildings. That first ear under the dri ing influence of Mr. I ' ope seemed like a terror to many of us, bvit we all came through it to marvel at e.xhibition time the amount of work that man could get out of us. As first year men we seldom came in contact with Mr. F.dminster except at his infrequent lectures in 39. Other classes of bygone days have given room 39 the name Sleep ' Hollow and we all remember how Air. Edminster suddenly snapped on the lights during a lantern talk one w.irm day in the fall and grinned at the rows of sweeth ' sleeping students. It was in the second ear that Pinto, our repiesentati e from Rio, Brazil, de eloped his well-known feeling of friendliness for Ted Norton. Scotty Lang. Harry Lindsa ' ' s partner in comedy, hailing from far-away Scotland, also learned in the second year that the drafting room was no gymnasiinn. The construction men now made their first real accjuaintance with Mr. Price. .Moment and force diagrams took on a new meaning to us as we learned to design wood, steel and concrete beams, column fioors, etc., for various buildings and loads. The laborator with its devices for test- ing cement, concrete and the strength of various materials held (uir interest and attention. 1117] P R A T T O N I A The men who had elected to take design in the meantime were not marking time, but were busy under the guidance of Mr. Cniptil. Mr. Hermann was putting the class through its course in sketching and water colors, make it juicy, don ' t spit on your brush becoming the war cry on Monday morning. If the first water color problem, an artist studio over- looking the rocky shore of the ocean, did not bring out the usual quota of weird and hair-raising cliffs, it was due to the coaching of our good-natured instructor in design. Thursday afternoons were given o er to Mr. Pratt, who labored to teach us interior decoration, cheering us occasionally with his anecdotes of olden days and funny stories. Cione over to the library to look up ma- terial began to have a familiar ring to our ears before long. Dan Bugel kept the roll book and held out nobly against his fellow classmates ' argu- ments that they were downstairs or in the next room when roil was called. The construction men had a new interior design instructor this year in the person of Mr. Haugaard, who called the rnll at ' :n5 and at 1 1 ■. 4; and woe take the man who tried to cut classes when the pangs of hunger reminded him that he hadn ' t had time for breakfast. Monday morning was one morning in the week hen Jack Snieder found it advisable to get up in time for breakfast before school. Although Mr. Haugaard was with us only a half day per week, he used to think that he ought to assign us enough work to last until Sunday night. A very bad condition was a familiar criticism. Though we grumbled, we always managed to get his work completed in spite of our other work which was pressing also. In the spring the construction class made a two-day trip to visit the Bethlehem Steel Mills at Bethlehem, Pa., and the Alpha Cement Plant at Easton, Pa. Howard Jeandron got us all to pose for him while he took our pictures with his big graflex camera. Unfortunately the plates were inside out or upside down and the picture ne er materialized. In the meantime the designers had completed their Beaux Arts prob- lem, a pavilion in a garden, and made a very creditable showing in the judgment. The last problem of the year, a mo lern building of some kind, brought ver ' good results. Sh lock Hamniond, our salesman, origi- ns | 1 ' R A I ' I () N I A nated a skvscfapi-r wliich put tin- W ' oolwortli l uililiiiii in tin- shaik-, aiul afterwards rendered it oxer nii;hr. Closing the year the annual hanquet was held at Coney Island, at which time the classes, first, second and third year, coinhined to forget all cares anil he happy. After supper the gang, ahout sixtv strong, retired to Steeplechase, where there w .is no lack of fun luitil closing time, and all at last consented to go home. The class of ' 2. now third- e,ir men in the fall of l ' )2, numbered twenty-fovir with the aildition of .Mike Hoffman of the class of ' 22. Pratt was given recognition as a registered school by the New York Hoard of Regents, to which f.ict the large nundier of third- e.ar men was due. In the held of sports the third-year men were abh rejiresented at pool by Happy-go-Lucky Ritchie, who won the high individual average in the inter-class tournament. I he basketball team were contenders for tlie iiiter- class championship, but lost out b a ery close margin. Earl - in February the class enjoyed a well-attended baru|uet and reunion at Oetjen ' s, Brooklyn, at which time pro isions were made for continuing it as an annual affair. The large cigars which .Samnu Klein pro ided were very much in dem.ind. Our instructors were present and added much to the e ening ' s enjoyment with their jolK stories.

If this be generally true, the opening dav in and around rooms 41-E and 42-E was an exception, for such hand-shaking and back-slapping as occurred ha e never been equaled. It really seemed that some of the fellows would need a doctor ' s attention, owing to a few cases of late season sunburn. Mr. Edminster started the term by announcing that no work would be done on the first day, so we wandered about giving the Institute the once over. Ve found Mr. Pope in room 40, .Mr. Bartlett in sleep hollow — which has long been the Architects ' name tor room 39 — and as we passed room 34 we thought of the many happy hours we had spent there ith Mr. Petersen. Work soon started and both di isions had Mr. Price for Math, and Mechanics and ] Ir. Pope for S]iecilications. The Design class received instruction in Interior Design and Decoration from Mr. Pratt; in Archi- tectural Design from Mr. (niptill, and in Freehand and Water Color from Mr. Hermann. The Construction gang had Mr. Edminster for Build- ing Construction and Construction Draughting; Mr. Haugaard for In- terior Design and Construction Details. Many lectures were gi en during the year. Mr. Edminster gave a series on Construction and Materials and many companies selling building materials sent representatives to in- struct us in the correct ise of their products. As part of the school work, the Construction class isited many new bviildings, also factories where materials were made and fabricated. Class elections were held early in tiie first term; Charlie Coles was elected President, Ted Norton ice- President, Red Lavallee Treasurer, and Jim Munson Secretary, to servf for one term, and at a later election f 125 1 P R A T T O N I the same officers were re-elected to serve for the remainder of the year. The class gave the annual get together for the first-year men at the j Ien ' s Club, at which various members of the faculty addressed the classes and the team managers told of the work in athletics during the year. During the year the class was well represented in athletic activities. A number of class men were in Varsity line-ups and .many more partici- pated in minor, sports. Nor was the social side of school life neglected: Architects ' names appeared on committee lists of all sorts. Most of our time was devoted to studies, but upon one occasion — now promise to keep this a secret — we were told that we were a bunch of kids. It is im- possible to write of all, or even a few, of the incidents, humorous or other- wise, that we wish to remember. Let us hope in after years, as we look through this book, that the pictures, nicknames and the like will bring to mind the happenings of our school days. V e have now finished our work, some in Construction and some in Design, and feel that we have not only received the knowledge for which we came to Pratt, but that we are better men for having the incentive of the high aims of our instructors. Some of us will be returning for another year; those who do not return will have started to make their way in their chosen profession ami we will be as ships which pass in the night, except- ing that to us there are our memories and the acquaintanceships made while at Pratt.

Nadex ARCHITECTL RE, mother of arts, noblest of professions, boundless ■• in substances, unlimited in opportunities, claimed forty-one eager young men, representing as many different localities, from the body of students who entered Pratt Institute last October and started on their grind up the long road to success that knows no detours. As the school year advanced work grew in volume and interest and for the first time many of the students realized the vastness of the subject. The intensity of the daily routine, howe ' er, was somewhat lightened by Mr. Hartlett ' s good-natured smile, which greeted the class at the opening of school each morning, and Mr. Pope ' s inspiring talks on the value of obserxation and thought. Mr. Popes attempt to get the class to thinking met some success when, ever now and then, a lowly D would perch itself at the upper right-hand corner ol some oung hopeful ' s newly completed masterpiece. Fortunately this occurred at rare intervals and did not injure said hopeful ' s priile. On the contrary, it awakened him to the fact that he was not so good (if Mr. Price will permit us to use his favorite expre.ssion ) . Mr. Petersen gained the fa or of the class by occasionally uncovering rare bits of humor which were duly appreciated. His good nature, how- ever, was not so apparent when he disco ered one illustrious student secret- ing a sail blunder in perspective behind one heavily foliaged shrub. [136 1 P R A T T O X 1 A After Cluistinas, the entire class contracted, through no fault of their own, a contagious disease called Shades and Shadows. This plague taxes the mental capacities of the student to the limit and causes niuih suffering (apologies to Mr. Petersen). One young man was heard to remark that he was unable to locate the hidden shadow. In what tluatei ' is that playing? was his desk-mate ' s inquiry. The first-year architects proxcd enthusiasts ui all lines of athletes. Not only did they contribute sexcral athletes to the class teams, hut, as a body, they did much to mspirc and morally aid their represent,iti es on the court or field. Perhaps some credit for this s|iirit should be given to the President who, thiough an exhilarating speech at one of the class meetings, emphasized the need of co-operation in class athletics. At that time he announced that the architects had taken part in some contest, somewhere, with some team, sometime the week before. With the satisfaction that something worth while has been accom- plished and with the realization that a bright and optimistic future awaits. Architecture 1 stands prepareil to strive e en harder for the bigger and better things that to-morro«- w ill bring.

There was Burt I) itcher who makes th iigs a go; and Jack with lokkes a straight as they were l.ud ui presse — the twenty-hrst of December it was, I guess. Fran and Sue. though not the same syze, could as c.ike w.ilkers an prys. Wel can tliey manipul.ite the chopsticks too. Strange as it seenieth, natheless ' tis true. Clem doesn ' t like women, so he does sayc, I 141 1 P R A r T O N I but syngynge he was or tioiting, all the day. But than will I leave this to your opinion. A Millar there was from the Old Dominion, and wel does he like Normal folks, tis sayde. Than comes this fellow, the one they call Red. The guy with the puns and the dictionary lingo. Forsooth, Petry ' s the one who makes your feet tingle; and Nick, with his wit, amuses us all. Ful soon will he have Pruett Carter to the walle. Also, there w as in our midst one Clapp, hard working he was and a quiet younge chap. Musical strains Vogel bryngeth from afar and for us didst playe in a musical bar; the which measure did Anna, in dizzying whirl, holde us entranced, this versatile gyrl. Quite different from her was our Evelyn meek, so reserved and quiet you scarce heard her speek. Ne ' er woulde you see her but Marion, too, a plucke younge lass, forsoothe faithful and true. The third of this trio was Helen so smalle, with curls of spiui gold and jolly withal. Howell, ardent lover of Lord Cornwell, was painter and athlete, stronge and tal. Saylor and Cordes can portrait anytlnng; they could songes mak and wel y singe. In yonder corner, pondering deepe and longe, sat Catherine drawing, painting ever Mah Jong! Our loyal Gladys, ful diligent and clever, she worketh and playeth wyth equal zest ever. Cal, the globe trotter and class philanderer, likes ' em all and he learned about women from her. Danny is a true artist and quite a humorist, I we ' en ; ful longe were his legges and ful lene. There knuld no man rival Winny in courage; there could no man bryng hym in arrerage. Skeezix was here if she wasn ' t there, withal. She is lively and will arrive though she is small. Hill Fowler ' s line is cartooning, forsoothe, and Com- mercial work is Moskies ' , in truthe. Philip Kappel is our pen and ink whiz, he can etch any subject, n ' matter what ' tis. Ladie Norma, sweet n ' faire, I saw in yonder place, and marked that all did homage to her smyle and pretty face. Resides her sate the laughing Rill, with hair of russet hue, who played and joked a loot betimes, but gave his art her due. Wonne small Chinee sate near with earnest mien. And Harrv Wood, who maketh al thyngs seem far greater and more lovely than Nature kould portraye. And .Suu ' th. he diil not shoe the horse, to my dismaye, but did most wondrous oily paint disperse.

Carolina Blake Secretary. Grorge Rover Treasurer. George Bover Associate, Grace Bingham T) EHOLI), before you the most fanioLis class the Institute has ever ■ - ' known. Not that we like to brag, but we appreciate our merit. Our star first dawned on Pratt ' s horizon in the year 1922 A. D. The whole school was vaguely disturbed for some unknown reason. They knew some- thing marvelous was about to happen and it did. Before the wondering eyes of the older Prattles there did appear a ision. Nay — ' twas more than a vision! It was the real flesh and blood class of 1925. Even then they knew us to be out of the usual run of classes. And they were correct. The very Faculty do whisper our names with awe and reverence! Who can gainsay us! If there be such, let them come forward, for we know it is but jealousy. The Seniors continually labor under the illusion that they are the class, but, poor unknowing creatures, they little know the talents which lie hidden in our inner recesses. It is their last chance to leave any foot-prints in Pratt ' s sands of time and we don ' t want to crab their art! Wh ' , we could start a zoo or a sideshow without importing any extra attractions. There is our big man, Hibimbo, whose favorite foods are tape measures and rulers. He eats these to gain yards. Then, in contrast we offer little Tarzan, the only one of his kind in captivity. He can furnish anyone with a handsome illustrated pamphlet entitled How 154 1 P R A T T O N I A to get married, thoua:h short. Over there we ha e our monkey man who has made a lifelong study of the arts and actions of our ancestors. He can do anything but swing on his tail. Rut since the process of evolution has eliminated that valuable appendage, his actions are involuntardy re- stricted. Ve are very sorry to state we have no bearded lady, but one of our members will immediately begin shaving and using herpicide so that we may, in time, have such an attraction. There is some argument as to whom the honor is to be conferred, all being fond of fun. Among the other celebrities and curiosities I have failed to mention is a talented member of the class who shot down six hundred at one blow. We have not the space to relate what a wonderful people we are. If perchance your curiosity arouses in you desire for further evidence of our e.xtraordinary prowess, consult any member of General Art II and they will be pleased to enlighten you. We, however, consider further expatiation on this subject inadvisable. Ha! What is this drawing us! A band of Seniors armed to the teeth and with murder in their eyes.

Marif Rommer Treasurer, El XICE Devixe Associate, Charlotte Crawford YEA! A write-up of General Art 1926! Vhat to write about? Why, our own class, and here ' s hoping it is inclusive even though brief. On October 1st, 1923, filled with ambition and enthusiasm, three score embryo Lyendeckers, Rockwells, McMeins, yes Cornwalls and Car- ters, too, entered Pratt Institute, eager to prepare for their career with pen or brush. Notwithstanding the fact that the majority of our class live in Brooklyn, there are enough of us from distant states to prove that Pratt Institute ' s reputation is far-reaching; for we ha e with us Bob Schultz, of Milwaukee; Alice Burke, of Chattanooga, Teiin. ; Mildred Grey, of Florida, and Mabel Clark, of Minnesota. Our coming-out reception was our first social event, which the upper class men gave us at the Recreation Hall and which we returned on St. Valentine ' s Day. No need to say we enjoyed ourselves immensely — which means we had a good time. Although we have lost our first wild hopes and realize how much we have to learn, we still think we are — not so bad. ' (If you don ' t believe it ask ] Iiss Everest, Mr. Allen or Mr. Skidmore.) Miss White, Mr. Peterson, Mr. Long ear and Mr. Hermann think that we would be all right if we had more technique, concentration, enthusiasm and talent. 11581 P R A T T O N I A In Cjioup A, Dick Morti ' Uito is so good in drawing that c en Mr. llfiinann approves, am! with murnmrings of Ain ' t that beautiful and Och-Och troni Stackt-i the picture is complete, while in ( iroup H the Girls are kept so busy deciding wiiether Mabel (. ' lark or Dolly Hinjes is most in favor that they forget their own troubles. At the end of the first term a few of the girls mysteriousl disap- peared, but by the addition in the second term of the Misses Hamilton and Dare and Mr. Ciinsburg we became slightly reconciled, as with their fresh enthusiasm and self-.assurance they told us what was the matter with us. Don ' t worry, though — they ' ll get over it, too. The first term marks staggered us a bit, but seemed to act like a tonic, for things speedeil up, competitions were won or lost, still life, com- positions and posters were conquered in tempera, pen and ink improved, anil to the tone of all clear now, is it? from sincere Mr. Skidmore we even improved in Anatomy. Our future achievements will be helped along by Mr. Allen ' s L.D.L. an l Find the spot. Mr. Peterson ' s Follow this a minute, ' and by our own slogan — (iraduate or Rust ? Allen, Vior.

Its purpose is to broaden the art education of all members of the Institute, to place and back teams on the field of ath- letics and to promote a spirit of good fellowship. The following names of well-known painters, art directors, illustrators and commer- cial artists are among those who have given exhibitions of work and talks to the Artsmen: Charles E. Chambers, Charles B. Falls, Dean Cornwell, Walter D. Teague, F. Luis ] Iora, John E. Sheridan. Ernest E. Calkins, Franklin Booth, Charles Dana Gibson. Adolph Triedler. Pruett Carter, W.

Rlth Hamjex Treasurer, Francis Nicest Js!.oei(ile, AxNA Feui, S 5011 may know, the I ' all of ' -}21, in the cnloi- ot tin- leases and the .sound ot tlic niclanclioly winds, was no different from other Falls. In like manner the timid little Normals, who grajiplcd with entranee regulations that same Fall in the color of their hair and the quaver- ing sound of their uncertain voices, were no lifferent from other Normals. But as we have aforesaid, Time wl was wlien we were young Thus beginneth the tale of how the class of l ' )24 came some sixty strong to storm the ancient walls of Pratt; came to a tilt with that ancient ot toes who.se face is triangular with a hole in the mi ldle and whose body is a straight, thin line of equal thickness throughout (or, as one would say when not writing a class history — Instrumental Draw- ing) ; came to do battle with the marvelous beauty of the Taj Mahal; came to conquer forever the perspective of an object placed in a vertical plane at an angle of forty-three and a third degrees. Nor did we know that when we had met, and made ours, such nondescript foes as sewed baskets and fairy castles, and when, too, we had laid low the terrible swift sword of one Monsieur Sloyd ... 1 say we did not know that there awaited us beyond the stream of three quickly sped summer months the fluid-moving spectre of water-color carrying in one hand a piece of iri- descent glassware whose erstwhile beautiful handle had taken the way of all things fragile and transient and, in the other hand, an octagonal bowl wherein reclined the icious luxury of tomatoes, ap|iles, narcissi and all other products of both the garden and the hot house. Nor did we know that we would have to match strength with th.it most fearful of beasts, Monsieur Tjon Tjing, together with his most able .ucomplice, Miss Easily- congealed Wax. Nor could we hear a vear ahead of us the ring of the [1631 P R A T T O N I A anvil and the screech of the saA ' that was to emanate from the cave wherein the members of the Society of Joints, Knuckles and Manual Tor- tures were to meet and carry on their blood-curdling fare. Xo, little did we reck, when once we were young. But it was earh ' in the course of our adventures that we enlisted the aid of Goode Ki nge Perry and Our Ladye Hyde. In short, the Fates themselves had decreed that even though our struggles be great we should have here a goodly host of Lords and Ladyes to help us on our journey. { In other words, if this were not written after the fashion of a Middle Age Romance we would say that we owed much of our suc- cess to the help of the faculty.) And so did we meet and overwhelm all our duties and chores. But list ye! There is as yet another side of our history. A ston ' of how the Seniors of Twenty-three did give us a party and how we did return the same with much gaiety. A tale of how we did take distinctive part in the Spanish Fete, with Mistress Ennis further distinguishing us by doing a toe dance. A tale, too, of how in the spring of Twenty-three we did walk away with all honors in field athletics because of Jean Frolke ' s winning first place in the swimming contest and Esther Abramo- vitch ' s beating everybody who ever put foot on the Tennis Courts, as well as Anna Fehl ' s being runner-up on the courts. Pride most lofty and in- destructible had by this time come to sv ell our breasts. Then, too, there were the little personals such as the ready wit of Anne Cullen, and Ress Bidgood ' s daily noon nap and Frances Dunbar ' s eternally lost scissors! As Juniors we were intensely interested in careers and futures full of work, and Jove, but it shook us up a bit to find ourselves as Seniors so easily entangled in the wiles of matrimony and engagements! Never was a more effective bomb thrown than when the word went round that Frances Dunbar — Frances, the steady and sensible — had of a sudden pulled up stakes and was to be married and sail for China in early March. It was as Seniors that we came to know Mrs. Shaurman ' s creed of beauty that car- ried out so well the wealth of appreciation that Miss Haskell had given us. So endeth our tale of triumph ith new conquests ahead . . . and we are loath to ha e it end. 11641 P R A V r O N I A We Icavi- behind us numy hapin days at I ' ratt and journey on to that end of accomplishment which means happiness. Our friendships shall stand as foot|irints in the sands of time, some to be forgotten all too soon, others to be remembered to eternity. As a class we have all worked to- gether, ha e tried to lu-l|i the other fellow, ha e had our play and have endeavoicd to do our best. We go from these lond halls to bigger things in life, well htted !( ■ our chosen task.

La Rhue Oyler President, Gerald Mahoney J ' ice-President. Helen Roby Secretary, RuTH L. Weaver Treasurer, Marion J. Reilly Associate. Marie Russell HERE we are! We ' re the Normal Class of 102S. They tell us that we are a peppy bunch and they also say that we will get over that dur- ing our second year. Who can tell? We are not easily discouraged. Take ior example our entrance examination. How we groaned and squirmed and chewed fingernails and pencils only Miss Hyde knows! But we sur- vived and were happy. It is the same with most of our classes, once we push the dark clouds aside, why, the sun shines as brightly as ever. As in perspective, after most of us graduated from the kindergarten section and joined the few conscientious workers with whom we started, things ran along quite smoothly. We became artists at this pencil technique business or some- thing thereabouts. Design fascinates us, even if we do travel from class to locker and from locker to classroom for inspiration. Now manual training is a real keen subject. But, tell me, why must hammers always skid and bang our fingers, and knives always chop pieces out of our hand? Of course Henry will say, You don ' t do it right. Now watch me. But to no avail, I guess we will always hammer and cut ourselves up. I am quite sure that there are some things in our course which have I 180 1 P R A T r O N 1 A beiMi put tluTf to deliberateh annoy anil torture normal students. I will not nientioii any names, but we use needles and yarn and go to room 56A twice a week.. Ask any of the four men members of the class. Opinions differ among the women, but perhaps I had better say no more about the subject of applied design. Most of us like instrumental drawing. It is so restful to draw nice long, straiglit lines with the aid of a T square. But the trouble here is in tr ing to think so early in the morning. One nuist know where to put these straight lines. All in all, we are a brilliant class. Vh -, some of our work has e en been compared to that of the first year General Art Class! 1 do not know what the result of this comparison was, but none of us ha e been forced to take the general course. But I do maintain that we are good. Athletic? I ' ll say we are. We always have one luuuired |H-r cent attenilance in gym class, and you will find half of us in swimming at every opportunity. Three of us turned out for basketball practice at one time I Even though we are kept busy meeting requirements we do take time to be sociable now and then.

During that period we ' ve had lots of good times and much hard work. The latter being due to our stern in- structors and a majority of New England consciences in the class. Of course, not all of our crew has stayed with us — some just naturally fell by the wayside or dropped out, including four perfectly good members who succumbed to matrimony and our Bee Anderson, who has already become famous — magazine covers and all sorts of glory. There is great talent in our little group and the promise of success if we just keep up the good work. We are proud of being in the Costume Illustration course and resent being called Second Year Normal, even if Mr. Herman and Miss Everest don ' t think we ' ll be famous portrait painters. Our excellence is attested in a variety of ways — for instance, there is Eddy, who captured a tiny box containing crushed rose leaves and, best of all, fifty ten-dollar gold pieces tucked down in the centre of the fragrance, — and Eleanor, who goes in for big thrills, the most notable of which has been the high, though we might add, uncomfortable position of chief witness of the Drug Store hold-up. OH — how those of us who were privileged to gather around the door, after the excitement was over, watched with awe as she passed by and hurriedly made her way up Ryer- son Street. Hut this is not all — One Marion Parke among us astounds all at the Neighborship Fetes with her dance steps — oriental and modern — and so it goes, including those who hold the school record of being present at least a part of each morning. As a class we are known to live quite high, breakfasting usually [184 1 p R A r r () N 1 A at tfii-tliirty on chocolate tiiilgc, and in s))itc of such ricli liict retaining our slim silhouettes so necessary to the modern fashion modes, which, Miss Clarke impresses upon us, it is our responsibility to sponsor. It is to us that the entire school looks for the latest creations, the newest color schemes and the last word in hairdress. And then, know- ing this, after each holiday someone is certain to return with a perfectly new bob. Well, anyway, there are those among us who absolutely refuse to have several inches added to the end of their noses by wearing little buns on the back of our necks! There has been good fellowship all through our three years in school, and we have enjoyed our work and our play. We ' ve done our duty, as well we should, atul entertained two classes of freshmen — our last attempt being something of a post-Halloween party, at which we older ones (meaning those of us wiser in the vays of Pratt for having been here three years) had an uncomfortable time disguised as gentlemen escorts. Shall we ever forget those collars of expensive bristol board (most of it used on one side) and tiying scarfs of orange tied coy-ly under our chins. The fashion show was received with much raucous laughter, and the cider and doughnuts went around twice. It was a good party after all. Perhaps we ' d better have a few words here about the big venture, Our Movie. This will all be in print long before we know whether the heroine actually docs eat nuts during the wedding ceremony. But we shall consider this paragraph in the nature of a Forecast. Just now every- one is holding her breath, not knowing whether to be thrilled or simply flabbergasted at the thought of real scenes, real cameramen and perhaps a director, who (it is being told in whispers) is to charge fifty dollars a day. Instructions are that we are not to consimie more than one day being shot. It is a big thing and we await the time of our reckoning with much concern. Put perhaps, after all, it is best to see ourselves as others see us this early in life, and when we venture forth in June with a portfolio in one hand and a diploma in the other, it may be that the world will receive us with open arms because of our notoriety. fl85] P R A T T O N I A All in all, it was a ven ' successful feat and a real chance at a practical problem. We did have our ups and downs, made a slip here and a slip there, and had our fun with all that make-up. Our Movie was a real thing, well planned, well executed, and the final result was very encouraging.

Rl hler UR trials and tribulations are many, to say nothing of wear and ■- tear on Miss Clark and others. For most of the time we simply can ' t keep still and the ends of numerous pencils have been worn out — also the desks — while our fair President strives to keep order. The work of Costume Illustration, 1925, is a riotous mixture of Design — from cloaks for the Chinese to drums for John Wanamaker ' s far-famed department store and then in the middle of everything comes another contest — we are contested to death. For some far-distant island, which ages ago sank into the sea, comes forth again and its inhabitants must be clothed. So we drop everything, pencils included, and dash to the Museum of Natural Histor ' to unearth relics of the past and attempt our success again at carrying off the prize. Our activities are far more interesting to nugaille readers. Our first event of real importance was a get- acquainted Halloween Party which we, in collaboration with the Seniors, gave to the babes of our class — namely, the first year. The main feature was a very up-to-the-minute fashion show displaying clothes for Milady from all the best-known houses in New ' ork. The children left full of doughnuts, cider and cake. Some of us had most of the cider by having a pull in the kitchen. Our next step upon the social ladder was a bridge at the Women ' s Club in honor of one of our members who has succumbed to Cupid ' s wiles — we really did find enough money in the treasury — and elsewhere — 1192] 1 ' R A I ' r ONI A to purchase a gift for her tuturc home. It was a surprise ami such a time as we had keeping it ijuiet — quiet not being in our vocabulary. Little do we talk of the arious trips to Museums in every kind of weather — lugging our drawing boards and other paraphernalia and even sharpening our pencils in the subway. On one of the pleasant ( ?) jaunts we were asked if the factories had a holiday on that particular date. But we gathered information from our journeys which we endeavored to use advantageously. We have not stopped making history, and will continue until we are handed our certificates, provided the powers see fit to hand them to us rather than a few specimens of a well-known citrus fruit! We have enough fruit in Miss Fisher ' s water color class. Everything from pansies to pineapples we strive to paint — nothing is too great for us. Our haven of refuge is Mr. Longyear ' s Friday Poster class. His sympathies being most enlisted on our side — we do as we please — and in- cidentally our best work. The pencils and desks have less wear and are in a better state of preservation in Room 42 than elsewhere. [193 1 A T T () N T r ONI AvERiAi,, Naomi IS l )uiin St.. Thomaston, Me.

A tale of would- be artist, in the bud — oh yes, we know. A tale, too, of individuals, of their interests and their thoughts. We like ourselves, you see, in fact, we think we ' re pretty keen and yet again we must consider, when we hear things wafted back, that perhaps we really have our faults, and perhaps we might improve. We believe in being truthful, so we ' re going to tell the truth — we believe in praise and knocking, subtle hints and some advice. We believe in being constructive, not destructive — oh, heaven forbid. We ' re a class of different types and many types at that, we are studious and frivolous, we are shy and even bold, we have the sweet old-fashioned girl and the usual flapper type. We have the pale and silent type and the ever- lasting Hirt, and even boast of one strong he-man, which is much for you to know. We have a lot of little girls, important as they ever are, but then they have the wherewithal, so blame them if you can. We have some tall and languid girls with debutantesh slouch. They seem to be the noisy ones with wit and just plain fun, but are quite content at being just that way. We ha e one little flapper with bobbed hair pert and dapper, whose de la vie and du cour affairs keep lots of us agog. Another light-haired damsel is the essence of one line she breathes a line, she acts a line, but seldom seems to trip. There ' s one all must have noticed, though try not to if [196 1 P R A T T O N I A you can — she struts her stuff, to hi- (luitc frank — in such a snajijn- way tliat all on Prattses Campus must know of her at least. Ve have some ilaric- haircd beauties, with amorous eyes and ways, who talk with us and consult us about their clothes and men. One fair amazon amongst us feels the burden of our sins — she talks to us, she yells at us for silence or for peace. And here, with saddened countenance, we must admit the truth about that awful rumor — the noise of Costume One. Ve ha e good workers in our class who are industrious and serious, for they ne er, never idle and seldom do the ' fool. We congratulate them, we commend them and even sigh a bit. W ' e have ability, nay, talent is not too strong, we have class spirit with us when the occasion so demands, for the result you must have seen in The Pepper Pot, of course. Yes, we enjoyed it, too, you know, thanks so very much and thank you too — in closing — for the nice things you ' ve said of us, and, as a parting shot, we hope that they will always be forthcoming.

Canada, and Cieorgia, we came, thirty-and-three youths and maidens; for we said: We will be decorators — designers — craft workers — why not? From Mary Starr Taylor we learned marvels of color and of line, and to make each little spot of charcoal and paint play nicely with its neighbor; Villiam Long- year showed the beauties which, under the inspiration of an old shoe, may come forth from an humble lead pencil, and explained the intricacies of perspective by the simple formula: This and this goes to this and this. The secrets of the T square and Triangle were revealed by Ir. Pope, and he disclo.sed to us how to keep our paper clean in spite of dirty fingers. Under his tutelage house plans became intelligible and we learned the physiology of chairs and window casings. Mr. Hamann would have us play with modeling wax; strange and wonderful candlesticks and knockers we made and many a merrie plaster pudding. And other delightful happenings there were — a dance as the guests of the graduating class, a dinner in return, a wiener roast at Rockaway. excursions to New York, and even to Newark and Stamford, sketching picnics in the Japanese Gardens, exhibitions, fetes, and dances. But over all and with all was the guiding hand of Philip Pratt. Composition, his subject was called. Nevertheless he it was who told strange tales of Spain, of the ] Iedici, of Louis XIV and Henry ' ' III, and showed to us the delights of European travel, of music and literature, history and the drama; the while he trembled lest marriage should carry away those whom he so devotedly and cheerfully sought to train. 1200] P R i T T O N 1 A llapp) ' lluurs tlicrc were iii the iniiasnim, (in the tennis eourts, and in the swiinniing tank. And Mary Bishop designed a hinip and won a pri .e and brout;ht niiuh glorj ' to her class; and Rosa Clements was Honorably lentioned; and several entries were hung in the Greeting Card Contest at the Art Centre. And the Authorities did smile and say: ' A ' ou are good ciiildren — yea, the best behaved in the school! And the daj ' s were liUed with work and much joy. Summer passed and autumn came again ; and great rejoicing was there when we returned to school. V ith laughter and embraces we greeted one another; and we knew we must work harder than exer, for now was the stretch to the third bag and home plate. First of all each must forsake all else and cling to the crafts, or putting crafts aside specialize in interior decoration. But casualties had occurred. Kendall Rogers, jum ' or President, his thoughts turned to marriage; and several were the reasons why the number of these earnest students was reduced to six and twenty. Whereat there was much sorrow. Dignities had come with time. We looked the new junior students over. Would they rival us? We liked them, and said, may the best man win. We entertained them at dinner, and they feted vis at the Vomen ' s Club. We joined with them in the Design Club, of w hich Rocco Markase was president; and together listened to practical talks on lamp shades, lighting fixtures and textile design ; whereby we gained much knowledge. And new instructors there were who guided the faithful on the road to wisdom. Arthur Cniptill, whose fame had gone before as the author of the Guptill Book, now supervised the drawing and rendering of in- teriors, decorated our margins with sketches and, anon, enh ened the hours with tales and word pictures. He autographed our duptill Books. H. Vatterson Lowe, in a sea of draperies and dress suit cases, thrilled the class with the sight of gorgeous hangings, and spoke learnedly of liergeres and paints, of wall papers and wild silk worms; and even broke forth into Lowe comedy. To those whose troth had been pledged to the Crafts, Morit Loeffler 1 201 1 PRATTONIA taught wood car ing and metal work. Sweet to him was Liver of Sulphur, and he it was who knew the number of dots required in stippling. Mable S. Webb guided the weaving and basketry; and black was black and white was white when at last the cross-stitch patterns were finished. And Mary Taylor taught this class to stencil and guided them to greater skill in block printing and batik dyeing. And still was Philip Pratt the friend and adviser of each one. He taught us to design many things — furniture, fixtures, mosaics, lamp shades, tiles and ceilings, and even movie settings and properties. He piloted our enthusiasms, and, with his wife, whom we loved, attended our parties. He inspired us to acquire experience and culture, chaperoned the delivery of our class speeches on period furniture, and tried to get us to school at nine o ' clock. I write of you while winter is yet here. I tell a story the end of which I know not. May our coming days together be as happy as those of which you read — and may still greater happiness await us in the worlds we yet shall conquer. You will remember your Alma Mater and her precepts will remain in your hearts always. But keep a smile near the surface, and forget not what our class president, Gertrude Haldy, oft has said: Let ' s all enjoy recess!

Haxcock Associate, Corxelils Prixs FATE somehow gathered together about twenty-five students who beheved that their talents and desires were along the lines of Interior Decoration and placed them in the Class of Design I. From the first day of October we were all so pleased that we resolved to work hard and our advisers have surely stood by us, ready with encour- aging words when we felt that we were about hopeless. We all agree that the work has been exceptionally interesting and is becoming more fascinating and we look forward with interest to what is before us. To break the monotony of class work we have worked in museums and the library and have also been much inspired by the wonderful exhibi- tions recommended by our instructors. A few weeks after school began the second year Design Class gave a dinner in our honor at Emerson Hall. It was a most delightful evening. Our next occasion for society was Mr. Perry ' s Reception, when we all became acquainted and had much merriment reading the little white signs pinned on all of us. The weather inspiring us, the class decided on a Palisades ' Hike. It turned out to be a wonderful day and ended by all of us being tired but happy. However, our daily fun is in the classrooms. We have several dif- ferent forms of amusement at times, but if all were going at once it might [210] P R A T T O N I A he niistakcii for some sliop on the loucr Kast Side!

Then, again, in the rear of the class we have the class comedians — Fay Howe, Walter J ' .ngert and Rudolph Lewidell— and when things are pretty hot Ellesworth Terrill and Irwui ValIen come in with their snappy and witty remarks. And it is mighty hard even for the president, Mr. Higgins, to keep that gang quiet when they once start. The rest of the class remains quiet, perhaps more from necessity than desire. ■■ ' • ' ■ - , 1211] P R A T T O N I A P R A 1 ' T () 1 A AkI.K, El.IZABKTH B Woodstock, N. Y.

Biggs jiPEX, it is Tiu ' sday inoriiiiif; ami the Jewelry Class is in full swing. Mrs. Bhimenschein is carving and Billy is working on her ring. Suddenly a voice from the corner, saying Oh, I ' ve lost mine! is heard and, as you may guess, it is Dot, the one who waits for the solder to How, though to this she hates to confess. And Edith, on the other hand, is impatient as she can be and w ants to have her class picture framed so that you all can see it. Miss Bachman is the hard worker and the hours that she keeps arc past comparison, for rarely is such a gem found. Yes, truly she is very rare. Kindness is only exceeded and to this we hear Only exceeded by good looks. Mr. Hamann, who is one of us, arrives and to Chinatown we all go, though we must wait a half hour for the car to Park Row. But since the Chinatown party we ' ve had such an Orie ental atmos- phere, and that is so in spite of the metal. There is Margaret in the cor- ner and, it being Tuesday, she ' s collecting Rice ' s cups for the tea that is soon to flow-. And then it is also time for candy, which our Miss Stillman always brings. She passes it around the room to the song the Sparrow Hawk sings. Such, then, is our diagnosis, even though short, and I believe this will end our tale and the Jewelry maidens once more may around Maiden Lane sail. 1215 1 P R A T r O N I A MARGARET L.

Its purpose is to combat the first A stages of sickness, and the students of the Instit ite are accordingly encouraged to utilize it in the preservation of their health. As a war measure, the Rest House was closed June, 101 S, and was used for medical examinations for Arnu ' and . a - students in the Army and Naw Training Corps. The Rest House was reopened November, l ' )10, under the super- vision of Miss Janet W. Hale, with Mrs. Katherine Hatch as assistant. The tender care and profound interest which is manifested by both Miss Hale and Mrs. Hatch in the pursuance of their duties has brought fine results, and the student body of the Institute, both past and present, is high in its praise for these two supers isors. To date over 1,50U students have been cared for. I 2U 1 HOUSEHOLD ♦ SQENCE P R A T T U N I A Helen I lollister FACULTY OF THE SCHOOL OF HOUSEHOLD SCIENCE AND ARTS Fredhric V.

IVIaiielon Shea Secretary, ViviAN ' Beach Vice-President, Anna Haskins Treasurer. Dorothy Morris N Spring, as tlu- time of graduation approaches, the satirists, humorists and hard-headed business women of the land set up a barrage regarding the poor, fresh, over- confident mass of unfortunates who are about to leave the protecting cloisters and take the first faltering steps into the cruel, cruel world. A ' e, the Class of 1024 in Dietetics, are conscious of the fact that we ha e reached the point when we nuist bra e the annual bombardment. Ho, ho, says the .Man of the AVorld, so you are through Dietetics at Pratt, are you? How fortunate! No doubt, you ' ll soon diet out all the medical difHculties that now perplex the world. Ho, ho! And he chuckles delightedly at the originality of his own humor. Dreadfully impressed by such sarcasm and with our own insignificance and fully aware of our supposed inabilit - to grapple successfully with the man-sized labors awaiting us, we hardly dare to lift our trembling voice even to disavow any intention of revolutionizing the world. Our natural modesty and our thoroughly battered and brow-beaten condition will not permit us to cast a backward glance upon the ground over which we have passed during these two short years, marked as it is by achievements, successes and things well done, all monuments to the glory of Dietetics, 1024. We lack the courage to mention the extraordi- nary size and qualitx ot the Class and to refer to the exalted place it has held in Pratt activity, as this would but furnish our critics with material for more scathing rebuke. We are satisfied to let our fellow students sing our praises, and as for the satirists, humorists and hard-headed business women, whv— let them laugh I ;] P R A T T O N I A Fond memories of days at Pratt — days of hard work in which many little spices were mixed; Anna ' s daily cry of let ' s play basketball — will long cheer us and inspire. Miss Halloway ' s cure for dyspepsia — close all the outer doors of a two-story house, open all the inner doors, then take a long switch and chase a cat up and downstairs until she sweats — has certainly been a great help (?) in many difficult situations. The Kitchen Kanary Kabaret, with its frying pans, pots and spoons, has served to brighten Lip many a dingy kitchen for us during our tra els. And when we ha e had an unusual number of hard nuts to crack we solved the problem of Mr. Veinland ' s nut crackers in Psychology class. Aloral ! and may we say we have never had to use such abhorring things as the Blue Slips Miss Foster so generously gave us at 9:03 A. M. Monday and Friday mornings. We really have seen bright red cherries served at teas and eaten sparingly, too. We were all delighted to see that the one member in our senior class who possessed an oversupply of humor has had every opportunity to develop it and we understand Mark Twain assisted her the most.

Uttlev Secretary, Edxa Gordon J ' iie-Presideiit, Pauline Ash Treasurer, Edxa Gordon TN the year 1923 on September 24th a hvely bunch of girls entered -■- Pratt under the dignified name of Junior Dietitians. Many a silent prayer was said to Buddha that A. M. when we sat with shaking limbs to take our first exam in room 57. After that horrible episode we became acquainted with each other, and our class spirit started and has been bubbling ever since. We were met, the following day, by the Senior Dietitians, and as upper class mates to freshmen we were initiated into the horrors of lunch- room and laboratory. The Faculty was wonderful, making our subjects as easy as possible to us until we were accustomed to them. They also gave us a fine time at the Casino one afternoon, xhere we became acquainted with them and had a good time dancing. A short time afterwards we elected our class officers. On Halloween the Senior Dietitians gave us a hot-dog party, which we returned just before the Christmas holidays. One of our classmates, Pauline Ash, had the misfortune of losing her belongings in a fire and, to keep her spirits up, she was given a shower by the class at the Women ' s Club, where she received many gifts. Several interesting field trips were taken to places such as Pilgrim ' s Laundry, Kirkman ' s Soap F ' actory and the AVashington Market.

Sucli an intention prcsu|iposes in all the work of the courses the earnestness and ililifjence which arc rei|uircil of all students. The aim ot this course is to iircparc the student tor the position of Dietitian. The work deals w ith foods, nutrition, the related sciences, and management of institutions. The importance of proper diet as a pre entive measure is emphasized, as well as the prohlems of special diets as they are met by the dietitian in the hospital, in private practice and social work. Through affiliations with local hospitals and other agencies, students are required to do practical work in th;-ir chosen field as an integral part of the course. f235] P R A T T O N I A F 1 A r J U N 1 A AcKtRT, Caroline 152 Morris Ave., Rmkville Center, 1,.

Heckroth Treasurer, Naxxie Tlmberlake ACH of us, feeling delightfully grown up and dignified, arrived at Pratt on a September da ' . all very thankful we had but one entrance exam to pass, having already had our personal interviews. It seems Arithmetic was not a favorite subject and was dreaded by all, more or less. But why did we worry? Things more pleasant soon presented themselves, and after being introduced to the Facult - by Mr. Howe, in Assembly Hall, and hearing about the Women ' s Club and Neighborship Association, of which we are all members, we began to feel at home and much pleased with our surroundings. The Introductory Teas at the Vomen ' s Club, held the first four .Sunday afternoons, gave us a splendid opportunity to meet fellow-students who have become friends. The Senior Dietitians showed their good fellow- ship by a tea given to us in October. This was much enjoyed by the class, and the refreshments will not be forgotten, especially the cherries. Early in November the Facult ' entertained the H. S. A. School at the Casino. A jolly time we had! Games galore, dancing, ' n ' everything — yes, even the punch, and what an excellent opportunity to become acquainted with the instructors, some of wiiom we already knew, others whom we met for the first time. In the meantime we were showing the Faculty, and perhaps surprising ourselves, that we could do good work. Not wishing to praise ourselves, we will merely hint that the instructors appeared well pleased with our accomplishments and publicly expressed themselves as so at the tea which we gave for them later in the month. But don ' t think that it was only in teas that we shone during that first term. Remember how the boys at the Emmanuel Baptist Church praised us for their supper on Monday nights? ( 23S ] P R A T T O N I A We are glad they ciijoyeil them. It was quite fun lioiiii: tliis, in groups of three. December 7 was the social event of the H. S. A. School, when the Kitchen Kanary ' s Kabaret was held in Music Hall. Decorations and programmes were most unique and it proxctl to be a ery enio able affair. Days just flew, and it was near the Christmas Holidavs when we hail, as our guests, the Senior Dietitians. This |iarty was held at the cKib and was one of our most joyous. At the end of the term nearly all of our girls went home; the few who were too far distant to make the trip made other plans, and upon our return we oted it a peach of a vacation. Early in januar - we held our second election of oflicers, and onl. - a few changes were made. Slight variations in our schedules were effected and from then on we enjoyed weekly field trips, chaperoned by one of the Faculty. Oh, say, can ' t you see the shimnw ' sifters at Hecker ' s? It makes us dizzy to think of them, and those lu.scious s weets at Vallace ' s! And who will forget the da - we raided Lord and Taylor ' s Cafeteria and were so royally entertained by Miss Howard, one of Pratt ' s own girls? And right here let us say a few words about our instructors. Never before have we met such as these. They are the Pratt motto, Help the other fellow, personified. We hope, by our interest and work in the present and future, to show them some of the appreciation we feel. L nfortunately, our class could not go e.xtensively info the school sports, but we did Hnd time for a few jaimts together. V w can forget the spiritualist meetings — we, so interested in our work, and yet, the spirit failed to move in our direction. During this second term ever - other class meeting A as held at the club, at which time tea was ser ed and plans discussed over the tea cups. This was a delight, and rather novel, combin- ing business with pleasure. Considering our interest in Fancy Cookery, mention must be made of it. We were generally a couple of minutes early to that class so as not to mi.ss anything. Rose tubes hold no terror for us now, and puff paste is a conquered art! Speaking of classes — a word about Xutrifion. ' Fhis was almost as popular as the Arithmetic examination. The now sohed question f 239 I P R A T 1 O N I A was: Are calories really good for you? Quite remarkable, Nutrition students, but we live to learn. And still more parties, surprise parties, too. Miss Gates left us the last of January, to take her position at Atlantic City, and Miss McCully completed her course in March and went back to Mohunk, where she had had her probationary period. More fun in March — a birthda ' party. It was the Tenth Anniversary of the Women ' s Club and our class was well represented there. In appre- ciation of the purpose and advantages of the club, our token was a lovely bridge lamp, supplying a long-felt want. Before the spring vacation, at the end of the second term, nearly ever) ' member of the class had decided what her position for the siniimer months would be. About half of us received our Certificates at Commencement, the others at the completion of their probationary work. So now our lockers are empty, the hails cease to echo the jingle of our keys, and old Pratt is bereft of her children. We go forth, but we don ' t forget.

W ' Kly ' S ' ifi ' — — , OXDAY, October 1, we started our year at Pratt; a year full of happy things. But don ' t let me lead you astray, for we have worked also. Ho e er, it has been the most joyous kind of work, from the Fanny Farmer Cook Book right through to cleaning window panes. Mrs. Rogers has guided us in the art of cookery until we no longer feel that terrible sensation of — Oh, will it come out all right? Do you suppose it will fall? We ha e taken up all the problems that a housekeeper meets, but they are not dreaded problems to us any more. Besides the necessary duties of a household, we have ventured into the field of art in its relation to the home. Under Miss Webb ' s direction we have taken up block printing and interior decoration as well as weaving, which are very practical problems, indeed. Our last term was spent in converting theon,- into practice. This was accomplished by having two girls at a time plan and execute a given subject assigned by our instructor. Th;y wer; responsible for the marketing, di ision of work, and the general success of the ilay. The Practice House, on May the sixth, was the scene of our Tea. Th? girls had a jolly time decorating the house and preparing the food and making ready for ovir large number of guests. Ve were all rewarded for our efforts by the results. To Miss Condit, the Hom?-Makers of 1924 owe a debt of gratitude for her untiring efforts to make our year a complete success. A part of this course is the work done at the Practice House. It is a real home, in which all the work is done by the students, and any prob- lems in related science and art which underlie the practical work may be sohed, as the ' occur, in the school laboratories under special instructors. Problems of family living and relationship are met and li ed in the group life. 246 p R A r r u iN 1 A Armsikonc, Hakrihuk 119 East nuilk-y, Westfii-KI, N. |.

T w stuilents h ' e in small groups in the house selected as a typical home. The house is furnished and equipped in keeping with a moderate income, opportunity being given each group in residence to alter or improve the furnishings and equipment to gi e the most e ffective results. Each group budgets the income and apportions the proper amount for rent, operating, food, clothing, and other famiK expenses and is held responsible for the correct and careful expenditure of the sums allotted. Every student — under instruction at first and imder observation later — learns thoroughly how to prepare and plan meals, cook, launiler, and care for the house, until she has mastered the details of each task. 2Sl 1 P K A T (J N I A Emma Hollowav FLE.-...R II I!.«IL!n .4 Aik ( M 252] P R . r T O N I A COSTITME DESIGN President, Julia U.

We teel it has been readied hi ' iaiisc of Miss I5airil, our new instructor in Costume Design, with the help ot Miss Quinn, lier assistant. We also owe a lot to Miss Hcrrick and to Miss Haskel, our iiistiuctors in sketching and lite drawinLi;. Costume Design is not an exalted name, for ordinary, uninteresting and unprofitable dressmaking. Costume Design is the new- art of bringing out woman ' s natural beauty through dress. An English poet once wrote of a beautifid maiden: If she be not fair to me what care 1 how fair she be? It would be wise for a woman in choosing her next gown to bear in mind the sentiment of this little couplet. A gown that is not beautiful for her cannot add to her beauty. ' I ' he real beauty of clothes is to beautify the wearer. If they fail in this, they fail altogether. No matter how beautiful a garment may be in itself, if it does not harmonize with every detail of a woman ' s make-up, it is not just there. A dress correctly designed, and therefore becoming to one woman, may be totally unbecom- ing to another, simply because that woman is herself, and no one in this whole world is just like her. Her face, her figure, her complexion, her character, her individuality, all must be considered if she would be suitably gowned. The least little detail that is overlooked in the finishing of a costume may spoil the whole gown for the fndi idual t pe of jierson who is to wear it. After ou once begin to create your own gowns from the viewpoint of an expert designer, ()u should be the best dressed wom.ui in your set. How it would add to our popularity and what a satisfaction it would be. i. I PRAT T O N I Every hostess is proud to have splendidly gowned women among her guests. The old saying, Fine feathers make fine birds, is truer than we some- times think. Many a woman appears like a queen merely because she is dressed like a queen. Costume Design, like other professions, is divided into two main divisions — Theory and Practice. Theory consists of certain open laws of line, form, and color. Practice consists of the application of those laws to a wide and every-changing variety of conditions. The laws are elements which, through their continual use through a number of years, ha e been reduced to definite factors. They are not imaginary gifts, but they are basic facts drawn from actual experiments. Neither are they the result of a so-called Inspiration. The woman who is willing to sacrifice a portion of her time to the study and practice of these laws is the woman who, in a short time, is always going to look her best and will be admired and complimented, wherever she goes, for her good taste and dress. This alone is ample reward for any woman who cares for the good opinion of those with w hom she mingles in social or business life.

Many of lis were astounded when we were told that we had to take an exam. .No one ever dreamed that dress- makers had to be examined. For what? , everybody asked. However, v.e managed to get through the exam successfully and were assigned to our respective rooms. — ' Then came th.- time wh ' .-n we had inspection. No need to tell wh ' we hated the word inspection. All work and no pla makes Jack a dull boy, so, of course, it was about time for us to play a little. The faculty gave us a party and we sure did have a good time. Not only did we become aciiuaintcd with the girls in our class, but the faculty as well. That isn ' t all — the class stepped out and gave the Costume Design girls a Halloween party. What fore- bodings that gypsy gal did tell! There are many other happenings that we could rite about, but why bore our children with a long history of what their parents did at Pratt? Dennison, Kathrvn E 47 (.incoln St., Spencer, Mass.

We were to have an exam and who knew what the result mif;ht he? We were then shown into the trade room, where sat the other poor suf- ferers waiting their turn to be interviewed. There we waited, with any- thing but happy, care-free expressions, wondering this and wondering that — all the time knowing that we were being gone over. But with all the possible things that might happen we all found our fears were groundless, for we were asked to come back the following day. As the weeks passed we learned to know our classmates as good sports and companions. In March we decided to let the rest of Pratt Institute know that we were still alive and on the job, so we ga c a St. Patrick ' s Dance with Muriel Moitrier as chairman. On .March 1 5th we found the recreation hall brightly decorated with St. Patrick Hags and everyone was there steppin ' around. Mow those Tennesseans can play! .Soon after we arranged for a party at the Women ' s Club at noon-time. A won- derful display of cakes, crackers, cookies and candv was disposed of, besides the regulation sandwiches and olives, which nearly took the breath away from us. Did we eat? Well, I guess. Everything disappeared except some of the prunes. We were always a busy bunch. You see, our course is only six months, .so we crowd a lot of things into a .small length of time.

Francis Kelly 1E began to fonn early in the year of 1923. Great prepa- rations were made for the time when the members would actually be chosen. Library copies of Well ' s Outline of Histon ' and ' ' an Loon ' s Story of Lankind were kept in constant circulation. On June first a dozen or more of the prospective members spent the day at the Pratt Library. Some were not able to come, but sat in their own home libraries, considering and registering their thoughts on the same problems which were being considered at Pratt. On the nineteenth of September, at nine o ' clock, we were greeted by Miss Rathbone as the class of 1924. Members had come from Maine to Oregon and from as far south as Missouri. Four people came from Europe and Great Britain, making a total of twenty-seven, an unusually large class. The first few days were spent in exploring the several departments of the library, with more or less confusion and bewilderment, but the friendly attitude everywhere we went soon made us feel quite content and at home. Then work began to be piled upon us, classification, cataloging, reference questions, problems of all sorts, some of which took hours of discussion. Each member began to assert himself or herself, to express each one ' s views, or perhaps the views of the library in which each had been working. Heated arguments arose in which all took part. Even requests from the art department to please be a little more quiet failed to dampen anyone ' s ardor for but a moment. Because of all this we began to get acquainted with each other early in the year. This interesting proc- ess has been continued until now we feel that we know each other well, in spite of the violent shocks occasionally received from one source or another, such as the one from Pennsylvania, which came the night the band of Indians raided the fourth floor of the Stacy-Trent. [288] P R A I I ' ONI The ()Litstaiuli[if; cNctit of tin- lirst tt ' iin was the reception at the library by tlie (iraduates ' Association. We spent a (ieli|ihttul evening meeting members ot tornier classes and a|)|ireciated ;reatl tin- warm wel- come we received. During the .second term we were in ited by tlie same association to a luncheon. At this meeting we realized that, while we are but a cla.s.s of twenty-seven, we are soon to become a part of a large organization devoted to the Library profession and upholding its standards. Examinations at tlie end of the term were a great trial. The spring trip was being plamied, and many wa s ot having a good time were sug- gested, but, invariably, thoughts of examinations cast a pall over our minds, dampened our buoNaut spirits and caused a feeling of uncertainty. At last they were over, everyone survived the ordeal and at ten o ' clock on March 31st we met at the I ' ennsyKama station to start on the spring trip. The next ten days were crowiieil with inculents and experiences new to some of us, at least. We received hearty welcomes everywhere we went — at Trenton, Princeton, Vilmington and W ' ashington. Ve enjo ed ourselves by lunch- eons, teas and automobile trips. The trip was a great success, but slightly marred by the loss of the garments of one of our members and the loss, only temporary, of the persons ot one or two others. We gatjiered much historical information; every house in which Washington slept, ate or made a visit to was given due consideration. Other buildings, such as the church he attended, were also noted. Some went farther than others in this matter, yet all seemed to reap a share of the enjoyment thus obtained. We returned tired, but conscious mat something was accomplished, that some- thing done has earned a night ' s repose. 2iJ9] P R A T T O N I A APPEL, EMILY K., 419 East Kings, Lancaster, Pa.

James rice-President, Edgar Dunning Secretary, Chari.es Niles S ' jcinl Secretary, Benjamin J. Mavo, Jr. I HE Men ' s Club — those three words mean much to a IVatt man. Indeed, without that organization much of the famed Pratt Spirit would be dissipated to the «inds ami lost. The Men ' s Club is a ital and invaluable factor of our scliool life. It is here that in the winter we gather around the M.irmth ot the fireplace to argue the merits of our various class teams, or, with some youthful Paderewski at th;- piano, dolefully proclaim the charms of Sweet Adeline. In the more quiet corners will be found the intellectual giants busy at chess — a pleasant game for those who can pla it. Most of us can ' t. In the basement congregate the parlor athletes enthusiastically bowl- ing their young lives away, while their prototypes on the second floor vie with one another for |iool championships. And what is that odor that seeps down from the top floor at noon time? Hot dog! or rather hot dogs served by the efficient members of the P. I. Lunch Corporation. Who can forget Snyder ' s bean sandwiches? I ask you — who can forget them ? So .smoothly do the activities of the Club run that they do etail with one another perfectly, owing to the enthusiastic efforts of our geinal Secre- tary, Air. Snowden. A good fellow, he, even though he does keep an abominable stock of candy and allow the magazines to mellow with age! The Men ' s Club has served us well and will be fostered in our memories as a haven of friendship in the Hig City, should we happen this way again in years to come.

Mii.i.ari) THE Pratt Women ' s Club celebrated its tenth birthday this year. It has had ten years of very active service and has gathered a host of friends. Every woman student of the school is a member and may enjoy the privileges offered. We take our laundry, cooking and sewing troubles there. The congenial atniosiihere of the place and the association with good friends tend to make these tasks a pleasure rather than a burden. Many a party has been enjoyed there. The Club itself features several entertainments yearly. The various clubs and cla.sses at school also find it a very popular place for their activities, ( n Friday and Saturday eve- nings the reception rooms may be reserved for the sum of twenty-five cents. This afifords a very convenient means of entertaining. Sunday evenings are always popular. The boys are permitted the privilege (they call it such) of using the kitchen. It is a common thing to see them arrayed in rather snug-fitting aprons, helping their hostesses with the kitchen duties that are bound to follow a feed. One of the Club ' s ideal features is the garden. It is a ver - pop ilar place during the warm months. ' ery often the dining room is forsaken for the pleasure of meals out-of-doors. With all these advantages the Club ' s success is due mainly to Mrs. Taylor ' s kindly guidance and inspiration. She is not only its secretary, but the best kind of a friend to everyone. Her unfailing interest in her girls endears Mrs. Taylor to all. 1 .503 I P R T () N I A CROWN AND SPADE CLUB President, Benjamin J. M.A ' io, Jr. Secretary, Charlotte Mattoon J ' ice-Presulent. Catherine Steffox Treasurer, Chas. H. Dorchester THE enthusiasm displayed at the first meeting of the Crown and Spade Ckib assured us that ours was to be a successful year. At this meeting the various officers were elected and a tentative outline of activities discussed. Our first party, held at the Men ' s Club, was a big success. The music, decorations and refreshments were of the best — our one regret being that we had to stop dancing so early. With the coming of May, and incidentally nice weather, we decided to have an outing. Therefore, on May 24, we gathered together and journeyed to the wilds of Staten Island. Vas it successful ?

There has al va s been a deniaiul for unity aiiionf; the students in the many respective schools, and the Nutmegs have done nuich to further this iinit_ . Our object has been to furnish social entertainment for our members together w ith a feeling of lasting fellowship. Many parties were enjoyed during the year, the most popular being held at Waterbury during the Thanksgiving acation. All credit for its success is due Eunice and Ardele. Thus another ear has passed leaving with us the mcmon, ' of good times, friendships, and happy days. I J03 I P R A T 1 O N I A SOUTHERN AND WESTERN CLUB President. Paul Schmidt Vice-President.

Few of the older members were back to give their support and guidance to the in alid, and, therefore, the problem of reorganization fell on new and strange shoulders. Nevertheless, the New Faithfuls served their parts well as nurses and our club stands to-day as strong as ever. The first party was a great success, held in cider-and-doughnut time, at the Women ' s Club, of course, and was really enco iraging. At the time of going to press, as they say in the newspapers, we are looking forward to dog-roasts, Bear Mountain trips and still better things in the future.

That occasion, a merry time, will be remembered by the divers incidents that occurred. It is needless to say the enjo inent and the association of the usual Tuesday afternoon dances whicii the Sectional Clubs held will not be short lived. .507 PRATTONIA STUDENT COUNCIL Pn-siilint.

Paul Schmidt, elected president, began at once to infuse his perennial supply of pep into our Tuesday Meetings, with the result of a marked increase over last year in attendance and accomplishment. The Council voted money for the pool spring-board and arranged several song rallies in the auditorium. The latter, lacking a little in attend- ance, made up in spirit and in general racket and enthusiasm — in particular that rally wherein we recall the merry steps of that clogging trio — Nick, Tib Coiinery and Jack Fales. 1308 1 P R A T T O N 1 A NEIGHBORSHIP ASSOCIATION SciExcK AND Technology Pnsidinl.

We were organized quite early in the year with an average attendance of about twenty-five men. Mr. Tebbs, our director, lost no time in getting us started on a number of selections, which resulted in the concert of May, 1924. A new suggestion for us to take a definite part in the singing at the basketball games was made. This was fairly successful, due to Schmidty, the cheer leader. We feel that our club has brought us good fellowship and enjoyment, and has contributed much to our knowledge and appreciation of music. [ 310 I P R A T T O N 1 WOMEN ' S GLEE CLUB Prrsi Irn .

As usual, December followed November, bringing with it this time a few more happenings. To start with, a big crowd was seen around Mr. Snowden ' s desk — peanuts given away. And then Phil Singer lost all interest in his work — she was dark and sympathetic. The Hoiler-makers ' banquet at the Hotel Pennsylvania proved that they have real affairs too! Then the Christmas shopping period was over and we all journeyed to our respective homes in high spirits, coming back again with the month of January, during which time Gillespie was discovered going out e ery night at seven and returning after the lapse of an hour and a half.

McMahon Officers-Elect Captain, Kenneth Milnes Manatjir, Charles A. Pi:nl PROSPECTS for a good baskethall season were never brighter than when Coach Sims issued the initial call for practice in the fall of 1923. There were about fifty new men, mostly freshmen, in the group, and many of them gave promise of making good material for this year ' s team. Cap- tain Underhill, Heck and Vilson were left from last year, and so gave something to work on. The season opened with the New York Agricultural College at Pratt on December 8th. Pratt won easily by a score of 31-15. Rupprecht, Underhill and Wilson were on the floor at tlie start of the game and Brummer and Raynor made up the team. It certainly seemed good to see Captain Underhill play most of the game. Brummer made twelve points and V ' nderhill ten. Kollmayr was the best point maker for the Aggies. On Friday evening, December 14th, the Pratt Varsity Basketball Team defeated Cooper Union with a score of 42-14. For the first ten min- [319] P R A T T O N 1 A utes of play the scoring was very close and it seemed as if the final score would be the same. The Cooper Union maintained their good style of playing throughout, but after the first ten minutes of play the Pratt Team pulled themselves together into a better-working unit and gradually increased the score. After Christmas vacation the New York State appeared first on the schedule. Although the New ' ork State held the Pratt men to a 13 to 6 lead, the closing score was 24 to 8 in favor of Pratt. January 11th marked the defeat of Delaware University by Pratt, 21-18. Pratt took the lead at the first of the game and held it throughout. Underbill, Wilson and Rupprecht were the chief scorers for Pratt, while Williams of Delaware made the scoring honors for the visitors. The defeat of Drexel Institute of Phila delphia, 41-16, on January 18th made five straight winnings for Pratt. Drexel showed itself to have a good team, but the men were not able to get started in the face of the strong opposition they met on the Pratt floor. Led by Rupprecht and Underbill, the Pratt five ran up seven points before Drexel scored, and at the end of the first half Drexel had six points to Pratt ' s twenty-three. :3201 P R A T T O N I . Pratt started their first road trip with a J3-21 loss by Rensselaer at Troy on Saturday, January- Jbth. Tin- large Hoor proved to be a ilisad- vantage to the Pratt players. At the close of the first half the score was 19 to cS, with Rensselaer in the lead. It was not until the niidille of the second halt that the Pratt |ila ers really found themselves. In this half Pratt scored l.-i points to Rensselaer ' s 1(). Riipprecht and I ' nderhill were the outstaniling |)layers for the Pratt team. F ebruar 1st marked the second defeat tor Pratt b Tufts, 37-20. Early in the first halt Wilson, the Pratt center, hurt his .shoulder, so that he did not show his usual excellent floor work. Underbill was the star player for Pratt. Mahoney. with a total of twenty points, was the main- stay of the Tufts College five. Indaunted by the loss of the Tufts game, Pratt met and defeated the Brooklyn Law School on Friday, February 8th, by a score of 34-18. The Crescent A. C. had been scheduled for this date, but the game had to be canceled. Wilson had not recovered from his injuries and was unable to be in the game. Heck, Rupprecht and Irulerhill played their usual good game and had little trouble in scoring. Webb was the next game an.i our boys had little trouble in running up a score of 36-18. 1321] P R A T T O X I A February 15th marked the St. Lawrence game. Pratt lost by a mar- gin, 23-20. No doubt, this was the best game of the year. The teams were evenly matched and until the last few minutes of play, when St. Lawrence gained a three-point lead, the outcome was always in doubt. The game with Princeton Junior Varsity on February 21st was gen- erally a poor exhibition of basketball and yet it aroused more enthusiasm than any other game played on the home court this season. When Pratt was leading 21 to 12, the Princeton players by clever passing brought their score up to 22-21, in favor of Princeton, but a pass from L ' nderhill to Rupprecht resulted in a basket for Pratt. The Pratt team lost with Brooklyn Poly on Saturday evening, March 1st, 20-17. This team is the natural ri a! of Pratt in athletics and it was with great regrets that the game was lost. About a hundred Pratt rooters were on hand to witness the contest. The game was marred by fouls and much rough playing on both sides. L nderhill showed up especially well for Pratt, while for Poly the high point winners were Tarani and McKeen. The Alumni Team was defeated on Saturday evening, March 8th, [ 322 ] r r r () 33-33. I he gams was iiioi;- interesting tlian the scor;- might seem to indicate and a lo: of good playing was witnessed on horh sid ' s. Some of the Ahiinni players were our hest players in years haek and it was a pleasure to see tli.Mii on the floor again. Roth, Dunn, Reynolds, Hall, Schaffron, Arnold, Sehuehardt .and Valker represented the Alumni Team. The total number of points scored by Pratt was 328, against 241 for their opponents. After the close of the .season Kenneth .Milnes was elected Captain of the 1 24 team. [ 52} ] P R A T T O N I A VARSITY TENNIS i ' l-RSONKRI. (. ' iptaiii, CjHORGi-: W. I ' l.i mlr Mamu ir. Frwcis R.

Due to the weather, as usual our outdoor practice was held off considerably and the team had but two weeks ' practice on the held previous to their opening game uith the Cres- cent A. C. The great handicap of last year again confronted our coach in view of the fact that graduation last June dealt its usual blow to the Varsity team. However, we were lucky in having Captain Martino at second, Toale behind the bat, Milnes at hrst and Raker, Harley ami ( iillespie for the field to start us oft ' . The prospect for the freshmen is good. With Ranner on the mound, Fitzgerald at short and De Witt at thir.l our intield seems to have a fine bunch of material and w ith a little pr.actice a good season is anticipated. We played our first game with our old rivals, the Crescent . thletic Club, at I3ay Ridge, . y IQth. The game was interesting, although the - emerged the victors with a score of 6-0. [3271 PRATTONIA The following week, April 26th, found us abroad in Hoboken on the Stevens diamond. Exceptional support from the infield and the excellent pitching of Ranner, no doubt, accounted for a shut-out for Stevens to the tune of 5-0. On May 2nd we played our first home game with Rensselaer Poly. It was indeed a pleasure to see our team so decisively defeat this old rival of ours. Excellent team-work on the part of the entire team can account for the score being 6-4. in our favor. The remaining teams on the schedule are the Alumni, Brooklyn Poly, Cooper Inion.

Both the first and second year Mechanicals were victors in their respective series. The Architects and the freshmen Chemicals took second place in their respective series. The championship games this year held a great deal of interest and it was not known until the end just how t hings would pan out. After leading with a safe margin of points, the first year Mechanicals were beaten out by the Architects by one point, the final score being 16-15. In the championship game everything pointed toward a victory for the Archi- tects over the second year Mechanicals, whose two star forwards were disabled and substitutes had to be played. However, the Mechanicals played a wonderful defensive game and emerged the victors by a score of 12 to 10. [ m 1 R A T T O N INTERCLASS SOCCER SOCCER opened interclass athletics on (October 17th. The first of the soccer games was an unexpected defeat for the Senior Mechanicals at the hands of the Senior Electricals. Last year the mechanical team played in the finals for championship honors, but better passing and team pla - defeated them in the first game of the series. The type of soccer played this season in the interclass series was unusually good. On December Sth the championship game between the Senior Mechanicals and the Senior Electricals lasted for seventy minutes — two halt ' s and iornr extra periods — and still the score stood 1 to 1. On the following Saturday the Senior Mechanical team showed their superiority over the Senior Electrical te.mi, and this closed the season. [331] P R A T T O N I A INTERCLASS TRACK THI ' first event of the Track meet vas won by the Artsmen, with a score of 97. Heekinan and McNutt, of the winning class, made the best time in the century, their time being 12.2.

' oter of Art succeeded in winning the shotput by tossing the iron 35 feet 5 inches. The potato race, the final e ent of the Track meet, was run off as a feature of championship night.
