Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Hail, Pratt Institute! To the beloved memory of Charles Pratt, the Founder, this volume commemorating fifty years of educational achievement is dedicated: “But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me, It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.- It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?” “And unto man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.” Quotation from the opening day address of the founder F O R E Ww O R D The aim of your Prattonia Board this year has in one respect been the aim of all previous Boards, namely: the production of the finest of all Pratt Institute yearbooks. In years past, previous Boards have been handicapped by having to concentrate their efforts on the reconstructing and recording of events of the school year just passed. This has led, quite naturally, to the production of ‘‘typed books” and has offered very little opportunity for the unusual. Our aim this year has differed only in the respect that we have been most fortunate in having had the opportunity of serving on the Prattonia Board at a time when the Fiftieth Anniversary of Pratt Institute presented the inspira- tion and motif necessary for the production of a- volume that we believe is the most distinctive in the history of our annuals. The purpose of this Golden Jubilee Prattonia is to commemorate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of Pratt Institute, and is intended to serve as the tribute of the student body to Alma Mater in appreciation of and respect for her outstanding fifty years of service in the educational field. In the preparation of this volume we therefore had to keep in mind not only the many pleasant memories of the past school year but had in addition the problem of unearthing and bringing to light, through the medium of graphic illustration, incidents of the past fifty years. We have endeavored to produce a book that you will be justly proud of and hold dear to your heart. We have made an earnest effort to portray to you an accurate and as complete as possible impression of life at our school. In submitting the 1937 Prattonia to the student body, faculty and friends of the Institute, we feel proud in the belief that we have accomplished to the very best of our ability the aim of producing a truly fine book, worthy in all respects of commemorating our Golden Anniversary. It is our very sincere hope that as the years roll by and memories fade you may swing back the hands of time by turning to this book and there find recorded between the covers of your Prattonia for 1937 something that will rekindle the spark of recollection and recall to mind many pleasant memories of years so profitably and happily spent at Pratt Institute.

II Being an album of vivid likenesses of the seniors in art study with clever tid-bits of wisdom meant to give the class impression of its members so soon to depart through Pratt’s portals. III Again an album, but now quaint sayings, even more quaint poems and truly lovely portraits of the senior students of the school of Household Science and Arts. IV Another album; this time the Library School presents its graduating students through dignified portraiture and dignified yet witty little words of wisdom in the inimitable manner of Library students. V Still again another album of senior portraits, as usual typical of the stalwart engi- neers in both the handsome photos and the skill employed in expressing the class impression of fellow classmates. Vi Really just another album, but this time of assorted juniors and freshmen and assorted in the true sense of the word . . . students of art, students of household science and arts, and students of engineering. VII In which the so called social life of the students is typified by the section of Prattonia justly entitled ‘Swing It” and “Swing It”’ tells all from club news to gossip and social events. VIII Frankly another album, a section of Prattonia devoted to a few posed athletic photos and a few summaries of athletic events thrown in for variety, the spice of life. -PRATT+INSTITUTE TT TRL, dive BEFORE THE BEGINNING Ir was THE OLD ENGLISH YEOMAN ANCESTRY imbued with traits of character that produced the Pilgrim Fathers whose integrity, industry and perseverance bred an unconquerable pur- pose that won a new world, the stock which built up Puritan New England in self-denial, frugality, self-reliance, inseparable from God- fearing and righteousness:—of such were the antecedents formative of the person and charac- ter of the Founder of Pratt Institute. The forebears of Charles Pratt were, indeed, not those who inherit and transmit a great name through a patent of nobility, but those who, of a truer nobility, are privileged to make a great name for themselves. Inheriting the sterling virtues of his origin, upbringing and environ- ment, Charles Pratt enriched his heritage with qualities of his own which were destined to find complete expression and fulfilment. His early life makes a romantic story. Denied that schooling which today is lavishly bestowed upon every boy, he started at the age of thirteen as grocery clerk in Boston; then, for an interval, served as machinist’s apprentice in Newton. His scrupulous savings made possible a year at Wilbraham Academy, living on one dollar a week, sometimes lacking sufficient food and shelter, but gaining his only experience at for- mal education. He resumed work as clerk in a paint and oil shop in Boston, removing thence to New York City to accept an opening in the same line of production. It was an opportune moment in the industry. The discovery of petroleum which could be refined into the best of illuminating oils had given the trade great impetus, and, in the course of events, Charles Pratt Co. made known “Pratt’s Astral Oil” with the reassuring slogan and guaranty “It will not explode.” In the quickly succeeding era of assured wealth and prosperity, Charles Pratt was never unmindful of the hardships and sacrifices which had been his early portion, and in planning his benefactions it was natural that he should apply his fortune to “helping the other fellow.” He visualized a school which should teach me- chanic trades and the useful arts to those who were earnest of purpose, but of limited means, a school which should meet the needs of his fellow-men as he, himself, had met and over- come them. Mr. Pratt had learned that educa- tion in its deepest sense meant experience. He had abounding faith in young people, and de- sired to give them experience in doing things leading to a life-work through a school for occupational training. And thus Pratt Institute shaped itself in the imagination of Charles Pratt. It was the child of his brain, following no precedent, imitating no prototype. Mr. Pratt’s project was ridiculed by his friends who tried to dissuade him, but his purpose was inflexible, and so, on October 17, 1887 (it was hoped to open on Mr. Pratt’s birthday, Oct. 2), Pratt Institute opened its doors with a Drawing Class of twelve students. Yet Mr. Pratt’s benefactions were not nar- rowed to the single object of his chief aim. In addition to his generous bestowals on religious and educational institutions here and elsewhere, his altruism found concrete expression in the building of the Astral Apartments which were opened in 1888 in Greenpoint near his refinery, inspired by the George Peabody homes for working people in London. On October 2, 1889, (Founder’s Day) The Thrift came into being in a tiny brick structure to the north of the Main Building, to inculcate the habit of saving and to encourage the possession of homes through wise lending—an enterprise which has led thousands into ways of happiness and security. Adelphi Academy, which had been a private school taking its name from the street of its first location, was equipped with a new building as a gift of Charles Pratt in 1889. The stately edifice of the Emmanuel Baptist Church in the immediate vicinity was largely made possible by Mr. Pratt’s liberality in 1886, the year before the Institute began. These conspicuous neighborhood manifesta- tions of Mr. Pratt’s concern for the welfare of his fellow citizens were indicative of his breadth of view in philanthropy. But his heart was cen- tered upon his cherished conception of a new type of school which should do for the youth of tomorrow what had been denied his own youth of yesterday. PIONEERING AND PROGRESSING ‘Tue First DOZEN STUDENTS IN THE DRAWING Class were not consciously ‘“‘art students” in deliberate preparation for artistic callings, but, rather, were setting in motion the Founder’s conviction that to co-ordinate the hand and eye was fundamental in all expressions of manual skill. The Art Department was the natural and immediate outgrowth of Drawing, and numer- ous and varied Departments made their quick appearance as the conception of the Institute and its range took shape. The initial groups beginning with Art included Women’s Depart- ment, Mechanic Art, Kindergarten, Commerce, High School, Music, Museums, Library. The Art Department now deliberately as- sumed character as devoted to the artistic im- pulses and manifestations of the day. It was the period of the Arts and Crafts movement, and the minor arts came into their own. Drawing became more serious, as freehand, architectural, mechanical, but pleasant diversions were of- fered in clay-modeling, wood-carving, art needlework, jewelry, metal-chasing, enameling, medal-work. The unmet want of teacher train- ing in the arts urged the creation of the Nor- mal Art Course of two to four years duration. Architectural Drawing led to Architectural Design, and later into professional Architecture. Thus grew up by natural transition the Depart- ment of Fine and Applied Arts. The Art Gallery, in the new Library Building opened in 1896, was a province of the Depart- ment, and many, varied and notable were the exhibits shown there in the earlier years. It was said of the Gallery that “‘it took its place among the best exhibition galleries of New York.” Consistently the exhibits gave full value to the lesser arts, opening as it did at the highest pitch of the “‘poster craze.” The paintings of William M. Chase, the sculpture of H. A. MacNeil, the ecclesiastical glass of J. R. Lamb, the exqui- site wares of the Tiffany Glass and Decorating Co. gave place in turn to Rookwood, Grueby and Volkmar pottery, to textiles, rugs, posters, and, even, butterflies and moths. Music, too, was a fine art, and while the singing classes were drilled in the “tonic-sol- fa’ system, the Music Department had its little day. The Department of Museums was soon des- ignated “The Technical Museum” aiming to be a collection “illustrating all those processes which have as their ends the production of artistic as well as useful objects.” Though dis- continued in its initial phase, it was the fore- runner of the public Museum of Science and Industry of today. In 1887 ‘“‘Woman’s Sphere” was generally admitted to have a place of distinction in the ordering of human relations, and women them- selves were content to occupy their exclusive place under the sun. So there soon came about the Women’s Department at the Institute which took charge of all matters “domestic.” So much so, that two departments were evolved —Domestic Art and Domestic Science—Art having to do with sewing, dressmaking, shirt- waist-making and millinery—the two latter of special significance in the hey-day of the balloon-sleeve shirt-waist, and when women’s hats were monumental structures of flowers and fruits, feathers and ribbons, each resultant tri- umph of art and ingenuity termed a “‘creation.” Domestic Science embodied hygiene, nursing, cookery, laundry-work—definitely utilitarian. Art and Science were later merged into a com- mon cause as the Department of Domestic Art and Science, which, after a second brief separa- tion, took on new dignity when the term “Household”? was adopted, implying the growth of the work into trade and institutional im- portance. The Department of Mechanic Arts at first Sates reflected the Founder’s intent to give training to young men in the trades and the shop. Classes were opened in manual training, wood- turning, tinsmithing, carpentry, plumbing, stone-cutting, house- and sign-painting, black- smithing, bricklaying, plastering—these rapidly to give way to more responsible technical pur- suits, the distinctly “trade” courses being later shifted to the Evening School, where they gradually yielded to work related to the main scientific concerns of the Department. The transition to larger things was progressive, and the earlier “engineering” courses included Electrical Construction, Steam and Machine Design, Applied Electricity, Applied Chemis- try, and Machine Construction, while the School of Science and Technology was steadily making its way into high standing and responsi- bility in the engineering field. The Department of Commerce did not prove quite compatible with the Institute’s scheme of de velopment, separating itself into an independ- ent business-school since known as Heffley School. The High School, for which a separate build- ing was erected, was an effective plea for man- ual training in common school education. It was a high school dedicated to a “higher kind of use than the common public sees.” After sixteen years of successful demonstration under capable leadership, when the principle of the manual training high school became recognized and adopted in public education, the High School had fulfilled its fruitful mission in 1905. An equa lly effective demonstration of an educational need was the Kindergarten De- partment, later the School of Kindergarten Training, which, also in its own building, on the corner of Willoughby Avenue, was out- standing as a pioneer in its field, until the uni- versal acceptance of the kindergarten in pri- mary education in 1917 deprived the school of its reason for being after a quarter century of pointing the way. The charter of Pratt Institute provided for the establishment and maintenance of a Free Library—the one specific purpose the Founder therein expressly stated. In the autumn of 1886 experts were at work planning and collecting the Library, so that, a year later, when the Institute opened, the Library should be in readiness. Rooms were set apart on the first floor of the Main Building, embracing the area now devoted to the General Office and, in anticipation, was ready for action as the Library of Pratt Institute. A few months later, in February, 1888, its doors were opened freely to the people of Brooklyn. The need at once asserted itself for a staff of librarians who should be other than willing workers and attendants. The first Library School having been opened at Columbia College three years before, a related effort, beginning with a “cataloging class,” took root at the Institute in 1890. Thus was founded the second Library School in America, expanding into its place of influence as the Pratt Institute School of Library Science. EXTRA — CURRICULA Bur pratt INSTITUTE WAS FAR FROM JUST AN accumulation of courses of study and practice, though the great emphasis in everything was hard work towards attainment. Expressions of altruism were appropriate to the spirit of the Founder, and in the order of the day. The Astral Apartments at Greenpoint gave the in- centive to a “college settlement,” then popular as conducive to social improvement by direct contact with the “poor and needy” in their own environment. An association was formed at the Institute which took the friendly name ‘‘Neigh- borship,” reviving a meaningful obsolete Eng- lish word. The Association expressed its beneficent intent in serving the Greenpoint Settlement at the Astral. All Departments at the Institute vied with one another in contributing workers and main- taining activities at the Settlement. Drawing and color classes, cooking and sewing, bent- iron and wood-turning, gymnastics, music, and home libraries reflected the many types of in- terest the classes at the Institute pursued. Then the annual Neighborship Fair was a notable event in which every interest united. The Fair was held during the winter term in the gym- nasium (now the Recreation Room) and no pains were spared to make the occasion a gala celebration and profitable to the Settlement. An array of booths set forth manifold art ob- jects from one group, pickles, confections, and “Lady Baltimore” cake from another, fire-irons and wood and metal turnings from the shops, while the small Library contingent dispensed home-made valentines or did ominous fortune- telling. The earnings from the Fair brought a constant yearly income to Greenpoint. ty 118) The Main Building of the Institute, erected frankly as an “experiment,” hardly lends itself to considerations of beauty, but the courtyard, within its severe walls, is relieved by the lovely old Italian well-curb, not showing to advantage in its rigid setting. The well-curb is a treasure of art, cut from a single block of marble, and derived from an old palazzo near Milan. The richly ornamented bronze Spanish cannon which now forms the central feature in the Library Park, inscribed to Philip V and Eliza- 3 beth Farnese, was a trophy from Morro Castle after the Spanish-American War in 1899. The World War is commemorated by the noble flagstaff on the green facing the Institute, rising from a fine bronze pedestal emblematic of the Institute’s four major constituent elements. The increasing number of Institute buildings calls for record as evidence of constant and in- sistent growth. Already mention has been made of the High School and Kindergarten buildings, now devoted to other purposes. Originally, the land opposite the Main Build- ing had been partly covered with old ram- OF F shackle structures and bounded by a tumble- down board fence. At one end extended a string of small shops, and at the other a typical Brooklyn row. The middle of the lot having been roughly cleared, a new building was projected for this advantageous site. It should contrast with the severity of the old, and the word “ornate” was used in its designing, since the Art School and the Library were to be domiciled in it. Architects’ drawings were com- pleted and published, the fagade was pictured, and the floor plans detailed, and in the summer of 1893 excavations were completed. But it was observed that while waiting for the corner-stone, “nature took possession of the scene,” and the “most interesting weeds that sprung up”? were studied by the botany class and listed in the Monthly periodical. The stone never arrived, but instead of the combination building de- signed for completion in 1894, the new building of the Pratt Institute Free Library arose upon the grounds, to be dedicated in 1896. In this building was the first Children’s Room ever included in an architect’s plans for a library. The impressive development of the industrial mechanics and trade courses into highly special- ized lines of engineering demanded from the School of Science and Technology (thus first designated in 1910) a system of adequate, specially designed buildings of its own. Thus sprang up a new “campus” to the east across Grand Ave., and beginning with the Chemistry Building, followed by the Machinery and Engi- neering buildings, with the latest extension of the latter, there has taken shape two sides of a quadrangle enclosing a small park shaded by pollarded plane trees. The want of a suitable assembly hall had been long felt, and The Thrift having removed to its proper building at the corner, the area north of the Main Building gave room for the erection of Memorial Hall in 1927, as a monument to Mary Richardson Pratt, wife of the Founder. Here lectures, exercises and gatherings of many kinds find sufficient accommodation. The original building of the Institute, with its clock tower, has become symbolic now, and though devoid of beauty, has made itself, with- in, convenient and appropriate to the countless classes which meet upon its several floors, and the outlook from its windows upon a scene of increasing charm gives a beauty of aspect help- ful to the workers within. Quite extra-curricula, and most indicative of the vitality and unity of any institution, is the zeal for self-expression in periodical publica- tions. In this field the Institute has made notable contribution. Beginning with the elemental Pratt Institute Daily News “the largest, longest and most rapidly issued daily in the world” written in chalk on blackboards three feet wide and six feet long, extending the length of the old Assembly Hall, after morning chapel, the supreme development was The Pratt Institute Monthly, which prospered through twelve an- nual volumes, 1892-1904. The Monthly was a magazine produced in terms of text and illus- tration on an equality with the best intellectual journals of the day. Each number was devoted to a single School or Department or activity, giving scope to artistic and literary efforts of exceptional merit. The Pratt Institute Record had FEZ its place, at first as presenting the annual statement of the Trustees, later incorporated in the Monthly, while the modest weekly Students’ Bulletin, the leaflet purveying current happen- ings which was started in 1901, continues its welcome news-bringing throughout every In- stitute year. There had existed a long-repressed ambition for an annual publication which should set forth the work and play of the Institute in impressive form and glowing terms comparable + with the yearbook which in every college gives full rein to the student body to express in pic- ture, caricature, story and decoration, their life at school. A feeble attempt to gratify this natural desire began with a flimsy booklet in 1911, calling itself the P. I. Annual, the very inadequacy of which and its immediate suc- cessors, hastened the full realization of the Prattonia, which with growing richness, inven- tiveness and dignity now holds its place among the representative college yearbooks of the country. ADVANCING AND PERFECTING On tHE THIRD FOUNDER’s DAY OBSERVED AT the Institute, which proved to be the last before the Founder’s death, Charles Pratt spoke these prophetic words:— ‘The world goes on, and Pratt Institute, if it Sulfils the hopes and expectations of its Founder, must go on, and, as the years pass, the field of its influence should grow wider and wider.” As the Institute has gone on through the succeeding half century, it has “grown in scope by process of evolution almost without observa- tion, and apparently in simple response to actual needs” with attendant ‘“‘deepening and height- ening of its aims’—to quote the words of a writer who was witnessing the transformation from year to year. The “actual needs” that called for rapid changes were the incessant movements in scientific knowledge, teaching and performance which required of a scientific and technical school thorough and constant revision in subject, method, scope and equip- ment. Every year saw improved facilities, laboratories, machinery. Every year introduced new courses of study and advanced the curricu- lum in standard and severity. The workers in all Departments felt the urge to keep step with the speeding pace. Nothing was static—everything dynamic. No year at the Institute was repeti- tious—every year was different from any pre- ceding. As early as 1910 the once conglomerate ele- ments of the many Departments consolidated into four definite cognate forms, thereafter known as the Schools of Pratt Institute—Fine and Applied Arts, Household Science and Arts, Science and Technology, and Library and Library Science. The Trustees, sons of the Founder, expressed their “intent, as far as possible, to carry out every known wish that he expressed.”” They gave every Director incentive to bring his School to a high pitch of efficiency in modern terms, granting wide discretion, in- dependent judgment and freedom of action. The School of Fine and Applied Arts yielded the lesser forms of artistic pursuit and handi- work, approaching the time when even the classic and conservative standards of art should give place to the most modern interpretations. Thereby students in the School were given preparation in those arts the age demanded, so that their training should actually prepare for the life they should enter. We now take cognizance of advertising design, fashion illus- tration, photography, industrial design. Mean- while teacher training is growing in importance and value, and architecture has advanced to a degree-giving status. New modes are reflected in the Art Reference Room of the Library in a co-operation of closest intimacy with the School, such that the Art Gallery itself is lent to the Room’s expansion, which studies to be “up to the minute” with material on typographic layout, miniature photography, surrealism and whatever phase the “modern” tendency brings to light. The unified School of Household Science and Arts has been, through the years, assembling the many and varied concerns in which women, by their natural gifts, excel, into advanced courses in clothing, foods and homemaking, so “highly specialized” that certain courses are open to men. This is the case with dietetics and food administration, involving affiliations with hospitals, industrial, philanthropic and public health pursuits. Also, men are admitted to the institutional management course leading to administrative responsibilities in restaurants, clubs, hotels and college commons, in which men had participated without scientific prepa- ration. The cafeteria in the basement of Memorial Hall, during the past decade, has demonstrated the art of serving food speedily and eco- nomically to large numbers at the hands of the students themselves, who thereby gain familiar acquaintance with modern apparatus and methods in large-scale operations. The homemaking course rejoices for its com- plete expression in a pleasing residence on a nearby street, once known as the Practice House, suggesting experimentation, now des- ignated the Homemaking House, implying ful- filment of purpose. Herein all the arts of the home are set forth in terms of correct usage. Cultural courses, too, are finding their place along with the practical, and the Library is called upon to supplement its technical services with reserves of books for the study of the English novel, literature and language. Within its own walls, grouping into a growing unit of specially designed buildings, the School of Science and Technology has long since emerged from the mechanic arts of its origin and established itself as a standard engineering school, offering three full-time courses of three years each in Industrial Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical Engineering. Still further, to meet latest requirements in standardization, a fourth optional year has come into being to make possible all that four years in college can bestow. Here, too, certain refinements of study, for which the one and two year courses of a former era gave no room, have brought engineering students to the Library in pursuit of economics, literature, history and social science. Thereupon the once-known Applied Science Room of the Library celebrated its thirtieth birthday by adopting the name Science and Technology Reference Room in close identity with the School it increasingly serves. With each School’s mention the Library has been referred to as keeping step in all particu- lars with the accelerating developments ‘across the street.” The Pratt Institute Free Library and School of Library Science has studied to make parallel progress in accord with the vast changes in educational procedure the Institute has undergone in the past half-century. The setting of the Library building which for forty years stood somewhat desolate in its empty environment has been transformed into a scene of great beauty. The Children’s Porch, built in 1912, gave opening into the “‘back-yard” which prompted the complete redemption of past neglect. With the clearance of the shops along the avenue, begun in 1915, the whole south area was laid out as a formal park and made available to the public in 191g. As the trees have grown in breadth and stature the Park has become a sheltering woodland inviting the aged, the women and children to accept that benefit which Pratt Institute gladly extends beyond the precise intent of its founding. And in 1936 the final touch was given in the erection of the North Porch, with new ap- proaches and landscape planting, completing the picture which assures to Pratt Institute a finished beauty rejoiceful to the School, the neighborhood and the passers-by. In a cursory review of the happenings at Pratt Institute during the first half century of its history, there has been no room for naming the uncounted men and women who, from the first, have given their lives and talents to the realization of the great ends now brought to fruition. A mere cataloging of those deserving of first mention would crowd these pages. Their names are written in the Institute’s Book of Life. But even as Pratt Institute shall ever proclaim Charles Pratt, the Founder, so must it always keep in remembrance those who soon took from his hands the great responsibility of bringing things to pass. Charles M. Pratt, the eldest son, assumed at once in 1891 the presidency of the Board of Trustees, and his gracious influ- ence prevailed until withdrawn by declining health. It is Frederic B. Pratt who, from the inception of the Institute, has given that con- stant and unremitting leadership throughout these fifty years that has made Pratt Institute of today possible. And now, at this Anniversary date, 1937, Charles Pratt, inheriting the name which he worthily bears, is committed to pre- serving and perpetuating to a still greater future the work whose fascinating past this brief narration has attempted to recount.

The first calls for a continuously changing program that syn- chronizes with the best contemporary professional practices. This is possible of realization only when the faculty and student body work together in terms of the business and art activities prevalent in the commercial and industrial worlds. To support this program, a corps of instructors has been secured who are themselves leaders in the various professional art fields. Under their direction the students develop an attitude of serious- ness and application resulting in a wholesome professional atmosphere. At the conclusion of three years of such a program of study, the graduate has no gap to bridge between his art training and the workaday world. The second objective, predicated upon the first, maintains that the educational intent of the Art School is fully realized only when all its graduates are employed in the professional art field for which they are trained. Since the Placement Bureau has an increasing demand for gradu- ates with art experience, we accept, as a supplementary objective, the challenge to place every graduate in a position commensurate with his ability and training.

ADVERTISING DESIGN III..

(Sons and Daughters of Pratt), we were panic stricken to think that in the very short period of three years we would have to produce in similar fashion. Never- theless, we spent that first year drinking down the words of knowledge which exuded from the throats of our illustrious instruc- tors. The second year brought a new confi- dence, the discarding of smocks, and the toning down of brilliantly hued “flags”, commonly known as socks. The year 3 A.E.P.—After Entering Pratt—sees us producing (we hope) to the fondest dreams of Director Boudreau and Company. Since that fine day in September, ’34, when we first saw the light of day as art students at Pratt, much has come to pass. Everlast- ing friendships have sprouted up and taken root. Many a fine romance has budded and blossomed forth radiantly. The prowesses and peculiarities of certain individuals have spread through the halls of our dear Alma Mater to put Class Advertising III on the Ryerson Street Map. Now as we take leave of ye lofty portals, we will endeavor to attain the lofty heights which await us, and to set a mighty standard which will be the goal of Pratt Institute students of the future.

SIGNORIELLO Treasurer As our third year at Pratt draws to a close, we find ourselves becoming more acutely conscious of our ultimate goal, a place in the architectural profession. Every subject we have studied, every prob- lem we have done, has been designed to prepare us for the future and to bring us nearer to the professional level. This year, probably the most interesting, has placed the greatest demand upon our abilities; in addition to the usual courses we have had more Mathematics, English, Structures, and a new subject, History of Civilization. We now feel that we have a firm foundation for the long-awaited fourth year with its attendant Bachelor of Architecture degree. We are proud that our class is to be the first in the history of the Institute to benefit by these innovations, and we are very grateful to Mr. Pope and all those who worked so long and diligently toward that end. It is our hope and ambition that we may merit it. We are a closely knit group in which each person works as.an individual, and yet when a common goal is desired he readily becomes an integral part of that group. Therefore, it is with confidence and anticipation that we look forward to another year together. May it be the best we shall have known.

[70] ON III..FASHION ILLUSTRATION III.. FASHI ANNE BOETZEL President VIRGINIA WHITELEY Vice-President ADELAIDE SPREEN Secretary-Treasurer Torn between a love for truth and a desire to believe ourselves destined to walk in the footsteps of Graefstrom, Berard, or Doro- thy Hood, we have struggled through three years of alternating hope and despair. It is a rare week that we haven’t submitted some sketch to our long-suffering instruc- tors in the hope that it will catch that indefinable quality, that rare, rare some- thing that we are sure we possess. Deep down in the hearts of each of us has languished the hope that after three years of unremitting toil (fun, fun) our debut as full-fledged fashion artists would be attended by a solid phalanx of eager em- ployers. But la, la, just as we thought perfection had crept up on us, the bubble burst! But alack and alas, the gentle admonitions of our instructors will soon change to the far less enticing grumble of a prospective boss. But do we give up? Do we say die? NO, and again NO. The majority who have lived, moved, and had their being in Fashion III feel prepared to sally forth and slay the dragon (all due respect), this time in the form of a recalcitrant job-giver.

Buppe President CHARLES MILLER Vice-President Morton Ho ttis Treasurer In the fall of 1934 the halls of this noble Institute echoed with the awed droning of an assemblage composed of young be- wildered neophytes. Little did they realize how vividly those first moments would be recalled to memory, when, as seniors, they would be leaving behind them years filled with knowledge, happiness and enduring friendships. This unforgettable first year was spent in “finding ourselves” and struggling no end with ideas and tech- niques; our instructors proved both en- couraging and understanding. This class has been the first Industrial Design III to be afforded the opportunity of using an excellent workshop, in which to build and study our designs in a three- dimensional form. While we worked in all seriousness and fidelity to our future, our moments of play were equally as animated. Our emotions at the present are a com- mingling of regret and anticipation; regret, because we leave the portals of the Institute which towers “far above her neighbors”, those immortal words which we shall for- ever bear in our hearts. We feel anticipation for what the future holds in store for us, that vague world where we assume the title “professional.” “Hail to thee our Alma Mater, hail Pratt Institute.” [75 ] Beresk, Newton W., “Newt.” 746 E. 38th St., Brooklyn, N.

Pratt Insti- tute has given us a firm foundation of which we may be justly proud. Mr. Pratt’s thrilling experiences have en- livened many rainy afternoons, and_ his impromptu discussions have been a real treat. Mr. Patterson’s pep talks and his love for subtle and refined qualities of beauty are truly an inspiration. Thank you “Ramon” for giving us our class mascot, the original “‘Mad Goon.’”’ May he live to have even bigger and better experi- ences. And Sidney—for “‘edicatin’”’ us, in the operatic vein. To think we might have struggled on oblivious to the superior quality of Grand Rapids furniture had it not been for ‘‘Cactus Jack’’ and Robert “Gable.”’ Alas!}— We expect a Royal Wel- come when we fly out on business. Perhaps we want to express our apprecia- tion most to Dovey, our competent presi- dent, who has ruled with the patience of a saint midst a gay and giddy group.

We see a group of uncertain youngsters secretly summing each other up as they hesitantly seat themselves in Memorial Hall. June, nineteen thirty-seven. A gay horde rushes pell-mell in a scramble for seats. Greetings are called across space. A con- trast, this, we think, as we gaze at the faces which, despite the gaiety, seem to have an air of self-assurance. In the three years which have elapsed be- tween these action shots we have been busy preparing for that final step we take in leaving Pratt Institute. We realize that we must be self-sufficient, and are well armed against defeat by that which we have learned at Pratt. There is much more to do and to learn than can be crowded into three short years, yet these years at Pratt have been rich with learning and experi- ence. We have been taught to use our talents to the best advantage in the com- petitive field. Although the individuality of each of us has been strengthened and not standardized, we have gained much through mutual association and competition. Class histories have been written since the first homework was scratched on a boulder. It is difficult to convey in a few short para- graphs what Pratt has meant to us and what it will mean to our future. Suffice it to say that we have three years of help and comradeship stored within our memories. [83] Arnotp, Rutu, “ Ruth.” 194 Salisbury St., Rochester, N. Y.

Mackevicius President HELEN GraystTon BISHELL Vice-President Rutu E. ForsBerc Secretary-Treasurer We are rapidly approaching the threshold of our lifework, so let us pause and glance back through the three all too short years that we have spent at Pratt Institute, work- ing, playing and planning for the future. In January of 1935 we embarked upon a new course of training. While everything was new and rather strange, including our fellow classmates, we were drawn together into a friendly group because of our com- mon interest in art. Days, weeks and months of work slipped by, sometimes quickl y, sometimes slowly, sometimes quietly, and ofttimes tempestuously. Always we have kept in mind the goal we are aiming for— success in our chosen field. Now at the end of our years of training, if we feel any sad- ness at all in parting from this vital chapter of our lives, let us dismiss it and think of the great, important and equally vital life that lies ahead. To our director Mr. Boudreau we express our appreciation for his practical super- vision; from him we believe we have at- tained the ideals of the Pratt graduate. By their inspiring presence and fine teaching our instructors have endowed us with con- fidence and ambition. We now feel prepared to march forth and swing into step with this modern world, ever ready to stride onward to success. All that remains to be done, and this with ut- most sincerity, is to bid a sad but fond fare- well to our Alma Mater. [87] jj 4 =e = ILLUSTRATION III X. ILLUSTRATION III X..

[90] TEACHER TRAINING IV..TEACHER T Grace HALpINn President Frances Roru Vice-President Hitpa GEBELE Secretary-Treasurer During the past year we have become vividly aware of the fact that we are inte- gral parts of a period of transition socially, philosophically and educationally. With this awareness comes the thought that we, as educators, will have an important role to play in the shaping of the human ma- terial that will come into our sphere. Possi- bly no other phase of the child’s curriculum offers as much opportunity for the true understanding and guidance as does art. We have found that in order to realize the importance of this place of art in general understanding it is essential that we, our- selves, be clear, unbiased thinkers. We know that the most valuable addition to our personalities this year has been the concept of things in general—not just our own immediate, selfish concerns. We feel vitally concerned with the path that the newly organized Junior division of the Eastern Arts Association will blaze in educational circles. Having had a hand in the guiding of such a project bestows upon us a sort of benign and parental feel- ing. Whither it goes, it bears our most sincere good wishes all tied up with our efforts and the efforts of those who have helped us so willingly in our undertakings. In all our future problems may we meet with the same understanding and guidance that have been our privilege for these four years!

[93 ] gCHOOL+OF +HOUSEH( SCHOOL OF HOUSEHOLD Cs l-e N CE A N D A kT SS The School of Household Science and Arts offers highly special- ized courses in clothing, in foods and in homemaking. The professional courses prepare for designing, construction and mer- chandising of clothing, or for the various phases of foods and nutrition work in commercial and institutional fields. The non- professional course prepares the way for effective homemaking. The institution giving professional and intensive training should be likened to a beacon light. Its courses point definitely to a goal —a deep need in these years of economic fluctuation. It enables the student of college qualifications to approach a subject with a definite plan. The prestige given by greatly strengthened and rounded outlines of study has been enhanced during these past few years. This is perhaps to be expected, for the time and money elements are important factors. The courses given are fundamentally sound, thorough and interrelated with practice, and students are well prepared to meet not only existing econ- omic conditions but the unknown future as well. We should remember that many millions of people have to be daily fed, clothed, sheltered. Other basic needs must be met in bad times as well as good; and catering to human needs, with the vision to anticipate them, gives a strategic position to a school forcefully on the firing line. The professional opportunities opening out of these basic needs will always furnish definite objectives for our graduates. To briefly summarize the educational situation in so far as it relates to schools and colleges of various types, we must remem- ber that education is a broad and comprehensive process. It is, or should be, a continuous and lifetime process. Some may approach the problem from a general standpoint, while others may approach from a concrete standpoint. We of the latter group are the younger of the two types, and yet the members of this graduating class have the honor of being members of the Fiftieth Anniversary group. FREDERIC W.

Hatitam President ErHeL CEDERQUIST Vice-President ELIzABETH FLECK Secretary JOSEPHINE TINKER Treasurer A group of girls will be graduated from Pratt Institute, where they have set a high standard for the costume designers of the future. We have realized what the phrase “school spirit’? means, and have done our best to spread and uphold the standards of Pratt. We made our first impression on the world by winning most of the prizes in the Wana- maker Show. We were only Juniors then, but already knew enough to ‘‘cut on the safe side.” Museum and field trips afforded us oppor- tunities for a glimpse of the outside world. Through our field trips we developed a working knowledge of fabric and color combinations. The museum trips in our Senior year were different. The floor of the Brooklyn Museum served as cushioned and upholstered lounges. Our artistically tem- pered instructor tried hopping over paint pails and upright, or, should it be said, downright, students. This happy-go-lucky class sedately sheds a tear on the appointed day of separation from our green-smocked friends and the Institute walls that have been so dear to us. Now, as we leave, we feel ever grateful to our helpful faculty, who encouraged us, and hope they will feel kindly towards us. [ 105] Auten, Exizasetu A., “Elizabeth.” 414 Carolina Ave., Spencer, N.

KoEHLER President ELIzABETH SUMMERLIN Secretary-Treasurer Three of us felt that we could take advantage of another year of training. As the pioneering third- year group, it has been our privilege to help in lay- ing the foundations upon which incoming students will build. We have not been “‘mere bystanders” but, rather, helpers in the changing cultural de- velopment of the course. HELEN TOWNLEY President Sicrip G. AMSON Vice-President Rose RutTcHIk Secretary Orica A. MucHER Treasurer On September 9, 1935, the good ship “‘S. S. Dietitian ’37’’ set sail on her maiden voyage with the ‘‘Port of Education” as her goal. The newly enlisted crew of 120 were indeed green and felt very strange as they embarked. However, after listening to the inspiring address of greeting from Captain Howe, who likened each member to a sailing vessel and told how each one must be prepared to weather the storms in order to successfully reach the harbor, the crew were ready to start their duties as outlined by First Mate Holloway. And so the trip commenced. The ship sailed on into harbors of new experience, across waters of learning, and through seas of understanding. Wild storms and blustering hurricanes, known to the crew as examinations, were safely weathered. The social life on board was not forgotten. Parties for the officers, dances for the sailors, and money- making projects were frequent. A fine spirit of friendliness among both officers and crew pre- dominated. Through storms of varying intensity and rough waters the good ship plowed on under the wise guidance of the captain and his efficient staff of officers. As the boat neared its goal and the “‘ Port of Education”’ loomed in the distance, the crew realized what a rich and satisfying experience had been theirs. In June when, in a blaze of glory, the ship pulled into harbor and dropped anchor, the sailors looked back on the journey with grateful hearts and in unison raised their voices in praise and gratitude to those who had made this experi- ence possible.

There are many who will agree that we have lived up to our name in some re- spects; in other ways we simply followed the lead of our so-called ‘‘intuitions.”’ Our curriculum is composed of many inter- esting courses, some more difficult than others. Our tucking class gave us plenty of headaches, but when those tucks were finally finished and starched Miss Govers smiled pleasantly, a perfect tribute. At first our sketched figures were anemic and spine- less, but through Miss Duntz’s able guid- ance we learned to draw them to look more human. The trips to the museums were interesting, educational and_ thoroughly enjoyed by all of us. Miss Clark and Miss Herold have nobly survived our many pranks and problems, and our advisers have had to act as mothers, nurses and comforters for all of us. The results of our many trials and tribulations on our work have been amazing and ac- ceptable. We want to give thanks to Miss Kinney for her helpful suggestions in time of need.

Now we know how to boil water and not burn a steak. Our first demonstration of this was a tea for the faculty and last year’s Homemakers. We pricked our fingers many a time to prove that a “stitch in time saves nine.” The outcome of our sewing classes showed beyond a doubt that there was a dormant talent in us. You, my reader, will say, “What egotism!’’ But inspect our lingerie, smocks, housecoats, blouses, skirts and dresses. We have faultlessly entertained faculty members, parents and friends for every type of meal or snack imaginable. Through our class in nutrition we have learned how to prepare meals which are both balanced and attractive for every dietary plan. We have had fancy cookery. For is it not the eye that has to see the food before the stomach tastes it? Doing Loeser’s Economy House was great fun and a grand success. We planned the three rooms with a view to economy, good taste, comfort and attractiveness. But then why boast—you’ve probably seen it. Some of the things we have learned will have to be put in cold storage until a future date when they will be brought forward, dusted and put to work. But let the proof of the pudding be in the test.

If we wore a slightly lost or dazed expression, was it not because most of us were returning to school for further training after varied experiences in business and professional work? Adjustments were readily made and confi- dence restored when we came to know each other and found a sympathetic spirit of all sharing the same problems, which, after all, might not be so stupendous! Each of us brought perspective that provided a serious approach to the work, and determination to invest our best effort in the training. So serious-minded are we that anything less than ‘A’ brings loud protest and glum faces. Work meant increased mastery of house- hold science and technical skill, and in working together we have learned organ- ization and have developed a_ splendid spirit of co-operation and loyalty to the group that has many times been demon- strated by incidents of good sportsmanship.

CE With this Anniversary issue of the Prattonia the Library naturally becomes historically conscious and looks back to its own beginning which actually dates to 1886, the year before the Institute’s date of founding. In the autumn of that year George Watson Cole, an expert bookman, W. I. Fletcher, librarian of Amherst College, and others, began collecting and organizing the books which would be the Library of Pratt Institute, ready for the opening in 1887. Ten years later, in 1896, the new building of the Pratt Institute Free Library was dedicated, and, last fall, its own fortieth anniversary was observed by the dedication of the new North Porch, the gift of Frederic B. Pratt. A chronology of the Library’s principal events has been prepared for publication in the Spring Booklist. The Library School had its inception in 1890, when education for librarianship as a profession was in its earliest infancy, following closely after the experimental opening of a school in the Columbia College Libr ary the year of the Institute’s founding. The Pratt Institute School of Library Science, now also historically- minded, can justly claim to be the first library school in the country, with loca- tion, character and purpose unchanged with the vicissitudes of the years.

With gratitude we recall the kindness and patience of the faculty and staff who bore with us (and still do!) in our well-meaning but somewhat original efforts to become “professional.” Their leadership and their constant en- thusiasm have shown us the possibiliites which lie before us in the library field. Our growing catalog for the Library School Collection, our carefully tended brain child, while causing us undoubted pain at times, is really the secret pride of our lives. The arrangement of our room into Laboratory, Library and Classroom affords us endless delight in the victory of mind over matter; while our bulletin boards bring out our latent talents. Particularly do we recall with pleasure the visiting lecturers we have been privileged to hear. The November reception, the January luncheon, and the Spring trip are all unforgettable episodes. They set more firmly the associations we have formed and the experiences we have known. [ 147] ANDERSON, JEAN, 58 Hamilton Terrace, New York, N. Y. Class Vice-President ’37.

[150] SCH OO -O F SeiE N Cee A The Class of 1937 is the first class whose members are to com- plete their three-year courses in the School of Science and Technology with the option of continuing for a post-graduate year in engineering, either at once or after an interval of one or more years in employment, which fortunately is now again abundantly available in the country’s industries. The Class of 1937, because it is graduating in the Institute’s Fiftieth Anniver- sary year, has the distinction and the responsibility of represent- ing Pratt Institute’s training at this time, when the Institute is proudly celebrating its half century of splendid educational achievement, which was so nobly projected by Mr. Charles Pratt in 1887 and has been so devotedly maintained by his descendants from that year to the present day. Doubtless many of the mem- bers of the Class of 1937 will have part also in the Institute’s one hundredth anniversary! That the intervening years may bring to them, one and all, a satisfying fullness of success, re- turning ever increasing credit and strength to their Alma Mater, is the ardent wish of the school’s faculty personnel, which has enjoyed this association in the dual capacity of teachers and friends.

YuNGERT Secretary When we returned to the wars, last Sep- tember, the burning question was: ““How did last year’s men do, out in the cold cruel world?” Dr. Rogers and The Crucible soon answered it, and much to our satisfaction indeed. We found there had been practically one hundred percent employment. With a cheer for the ’36 graduates and high hopes for ourselves we settled down to the task of preparing to uphold the Pratt standards. Our first stumbling block was “A Chemical Analysis of Portland Cement.’ Some of us were fortunate enough to flounder through it in six weeks—it haunted most of us much longer than that. We took enough time out to put on the Chemists’ Swing Dance—the first big dance of the year. Naturally it was a social success and, after the ax had been buried, almost a financial one. Our baseball team won the championship last spring, but we were thwarted in our attempts to capture the soccer title. How- ever, we hope to redeem ourselves in basket- ball, having gotten off to a good start. September marked the first year in which Dr. Rogers personally instructed our class. As each day progressed we realized more and more clearly why the intense feeling of fellowship had grown up among the Chem- ical Men. We felt for the first time, I believe, the full force of his personality and influence. When all other memories of our days here at Pratt have grown dim and vanished, our memory of Dr. Rogers will remain bright and unchanged.

We emerge from our years of study and development to find our place in this modern world of fact and reality. This is a fitting place to pause for a moment and reflect upon the high lights of our past three years. As we look back, these years have gone by in rapid succession. It seems but a very short time ago that we first met together as a group, but from that time on, with the words “co-operation” and “sportsman- ship”’ as our mottos, we have forged ahead to gain an enviable reputation as a class. Both on the field of sport and in our class- rooms we have strained every nerve and fiber to do our best. The soccer champion- ship has been in our possession for two successive years. The class also was well represented on the Prattonia Board and as officers of the Student Council. Our activi- ties in clubs and other extracurricular activities are well worthy of merit. To our instructors, who have so patiently and skillfully aided us in these past few years, we offer our heartfelt thanks.

DycKMAN, Jr. President FLINT WILLIAM CANDE Vice-President Gerorce U. Dautricu Treasurer CuHarLEs F. BRUEGGEMAN Secretary In the fall of 34 we entered Pratt Institute, not as a class but as a group of individuals, with little knowledge as to where to turn or what to expect from our initiation into the broad field of engineering. Under the guiding hand of our most compe- tent faculty we soon became familiar with the various branches of our chosen pro- fession. With the aid and inspiration of these men as our leaders we learned to think clearly and to act together with a definite purpose. In the field of sports the Mechanicals started off with a winning team in the pool, but as the various sports seasons came and went the Mechanicals seemed to slip into a slump. The representative teams, it must be remembered, never let their opponents have their own way entirely in deciding the outcome of these exciting clashes. This year, however, the Mechanicals have come back to the front in bowling, and many a good team has faced defeat before them. This shows that the boys entering, so un- organized, have proven their wealth of initiative and ambition. With our training at Pratt Institute as a background, we face the future, confident of our ability to become a credit to our- selves and to the school. The class wishes to express its heartfelt gratitude to those who have made our training both enjoyable and profitable. [171] ARMSTRONG, JouN T., “ Jack.” 91 Rochambreau Ave., Providence, R. I.

Soon we see the in- evitable friendly Pratt spirit assert it- self, welding the scattered branches and organizing them into one well- harmonized class, alert to all the op- portunities calling to it. Here we are at the second milestone of our three years at Pratt Institute. This year has been a difficult one, crowded with hard work, and sometimes filled with trials and tribulations. But that is what we expected. Of the above-mentioned tribulations, it is quite needless to say that the most trying one was the ever-present necessity of fighting the pitfalls and darknesses in- volved in mechanics—the class in Struc- tural Representation. With never-failing hope, a telephone was at last mastered, and it can never be said that such an instrument does not make a very fine still-life model. It is doubtful whether we would ever have appreciated this if it had not been for the enduring patience of a certain instructor. As for sports enthusiasm, our class is not lacking, for it can be said that a star basketball man and an able cheer- leader are among us. With all this year behind us—gone, but not forgotten—and much learning tucked away in our willing heads, we are ready to launch upon our third year at Pratt Institute.

ARCHITECTURE II. ARCHITECTURE II..ARCHIT WALTER V. CHANAS President Rosert Carstairs Secretary-Treasurer The addition of the fourth year, with a degree as the goal, has been a godsend to all of us architects of the second year. Thanks to the willing and sincere efforts of such capable men as Mr. Boudreau and Mr. Pope, we will now not need to go elsewhere to obtain our degrees, but will stay in Pratt and graduate with a degree of Bachelor of Architecture. Pratt is the school for ambitious young men who wish to become good architects. The hours are longer than those of the average college, but, bearing in mind the thought that man by nature is a lazy animal, we will someday look back on our school days and thank the heavens that Fate had Pratt on our lists. By proper apportionment of time we manage to do many other interesting things, all related to architecture and its successful practice. Architects can be found anywhere doing almost anything. We believe that to become a good archi- tect we must have a healthy body. To maintain a high physical rating we par- ticipate in all the sports available at Pratt, from basketball to fencing. Not forgetting Mr. Lippincott’s most wise and timely remarks, we also develop good personalities. We haven’t found an architect yet who didn’t know something about world and government affairs. Although this year’s class is not as large as it might be, it is quality that Pratt demands and, we think, got. If you don’t believe us, look us up about ten years from now.

ARCHITECTURE I..ARCHITECTURE I..ARCHITEC Raunt LAMPE President EpwarbD CHRISTOFFERS Secretary Mary KNIGHT Treasurer The class of Architecture 40 arrived at Pratt in September 1936. We experienced a little difficulty in adapting ourselves to the intensive course, but thanks to an able and patient faculty, who have done a fine job in guiding us this far, we have come through the first year well qualified to carry on in the succeeding years. Among the many good features at Pratt are: a professional atmosphere main- tained in all classes; a course designed to give us those subjects that we will need in actual practice; and a school spirit built up through pride in the accomplish- ments of our alumni. We are fortunate in being the first freshman class in the history of the Institute to be offered a four-year course leading to a degree. With the new program we should be better equipped to carry the standards of Pratt into our chosen profession. Socially, our members have attended the school dances and basketball games, with the Architects’ banquets and the Architects’-Paletteers’ dance as high lights to date. We find these social ac- tivities a pleasant relaxation from our studies and an opportunity to become better acquainted with the other depart- ments in the school. Yes, the class of Architecture ’40 has come a long way in the short time that we have been here, but there is much to be learned in the future, and we look forward with courage and hope.

DESIGN I.DESIGN I..DESIGN I..DESIGN I.DESIG EuNIcE STEUP President Motry GriswoLtp Secretary-Treasurer In the late summer of 1936 a group of about forty eager and ambitious students embarked on a three-year design course at Pratt Institute. A good number of these had the high hopes of becoming leading interior decorators, while the re- maining ones anticipated the day when they would be numbered among Amer- ica’s leading industrial designers. After accumulating their needed supplies— from thumbtacks to much too large drawing boards—they were swept off their feet trying to keep up the pace of one acquiring a professional training. Their course included: structural repre- sentation, mechanical drawing, water color, architectural lectures and, of course, design—both three and two di- mensional. Once a week they journeyed over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where they attempted to copy, by line drawing, the characteristic shapes, motifs and decorations used by the various great peoples of both past and present. The last few days of the first term were days of suspense and anxiety. Each one wondered whether or not he would be permitted to continue his work the coming term. The second term found all but two, hale and hearty, prepared to continue on their paths to success. The two missing ones transferred to another department of the school. Much to the disappoint- ment of the class their president was one of the transfers. Six new and ambitious students entered the class, however, all eager to acquire a professional training in the field of design. Although the students of the Design I class are humble beginners, they are trying to live up to the fact that they are numbered among Pratt’s chosen few.

SrEBRECHT Vice-President HELEN JACKSON Treasurer Past are our days as bewildered fresh- men, and at present we are beginning to feel the rewards of our efforts. We see, in the future, vast opportunities for each of us. Last year our struggles seemed in vain— we were floundering in a sea of uncer- tainty. Everything was so very new and different from our former conception of school work and activities. At times we even imagined we could tell our in- structors a thing or two about art- training requirements. However, we soon realized the truly great worth of all the subjects which have fortunately been included in our program. Specializing this year has brought about many changes in our course, but now we feel better able to adapt ourselves to new problems. Regardless of our oft- times questionably gay behavior, we are sincerely ambitious to reach and even surpass the standards already set by our predecessors in the field. We are all most eager for self-improvement, while at the same time we endeavor to help each other whenever possible. After our next and final year we shall receive our most important assignment —that of selling ourselves as well as our work. Thus we will prove to the none too eager world that training tells and that Pratt produces!

[ 206 | ON 1 A..ILLUSTRATION I A.ILLUSTRATION I A..ILLU Epwarp MacLauGHLin President MarsHaLL LEE Vice-President The history of this class, however short, has not been uneventful. It began on Friday, September 11, with the now- customary tour of the Institute which included a free luncheon in the cafeteria. There was considerable consternation among the students when this last pro- cedure was not repeated the following Monday. We, the class of Illustration 1A, ap- proached the mid-year point with an apparently unwarranted apprehension. The class came through, not only intact, but with four new brethren, all trans- ferees from other departments. Some weeks later, the population was reduced to its original size of forty members by the withdrawal of four charter members. One of these, a very talented young man, went to work with a prominent illus- trator and even now is doing honor to himself, the class, and the school. We are well represented on the basket- ball court but have been impeded some- what in our social activity by an appall- ing lack of female constituents, as a second glance at the class picture should show. Despite this inconvenience, how- ever, most of the comrades seem to get around quite well, in fact, very well. To disperse any possible rumors to the contrary, the class is hitting its stride now and all is well. That, fellow citizens, is a brief chronicle of our activities to date. Our present concern is with the future; may it be just as interesting and happy as the past, in spades. [ 207 ] Beaumont, M. EuGENIE Hortens, HiLpa Ressner, MIcHAEL ROSENTHAL, LEON A.

When we entered, we wanted to be ar- tists, not all of us in the same line of endeavor, but our fingers were nimble and our minds art conscious. We are just beginning to realize how vast was our inexperience, how meager our technical knowledge, and how crude our first attempts. Gradually Pratt Institute is instilling in us the ability to recognize our errors and a desire to strive for per- fection. We have been industrious and yet eager—imbued with the spirit of work and the thirst for knowledge. The members of our class have shown an abundance of versatility which has been evidenced in fields of endeavor other than that for which we are prepar- ing—for example, music, dramatics and athletics. There are many in our class who have already found themselves, and whose artistic finger tips will someday create work to be envied by their contempora- ries. May our next two years be happy and busy ones, and may those of us who gain from Pratt the best application of our talents continue on to the pinnacle of success attained by so many of our predecessors.

Hormen Secretary-Treasurer On September 14, 1936 our class, Illustration IC, launched forth on some- thing entirely new in its career. It was experiencing the sensation of starting out in a field that in three years hence was to be the occupation of its members. Coupled with this was the usual muddle of finding rooms, locating lockers, and making friends. There are several divisions in our large class. Some of us are interested in Pic- torial Illustration; others, in Advertising Design; and still others, in Fashion Illustration, into which we will branch off during our second and third years here. In spite of the varied interests of our group during this first year, we are all bound by the one desire to do the best we possibly can at Pratt. We feel that in choosing this as our school in which to better ourselves we have done a very wise thing and shall in the future be heartily repaid. To some of us it has been quite an ex- perience just coming to New York, and the newness of being transplanted made a few wonder whether we would like it here. Our doubts have been appeased and we are certain that before long we shall be able to call ourselves real New Yorkers. Time has seemed to fly by on wings, what with varied subjects, numerous athletic diversions, and tea dances; but we all feel that for the short time we have been here much has been accom- plished.

ILLUSTRATION II X.ILLUSTRATION II X.1LL JAMES FISHER President TERRY JOANETHIS Vice-President Nits OstBERG Secretary-Treasurer As we reflect upon the year and a half of study we have completed at Pratt Institute, our memories are far from un- pleasant. At times we may have treated our position as students too lightly; at times, too, we may have created dis- turbances by a too-boisterous pursuit of our labors. But always our aim, both individually and as a group, has been to produce a grade of art work worthy of ourselves and equal to the standard set by those who came before us. The final reports have proved that our zeal has resulted in a just reward. At the beginning of our second year our group branched out into the various departments. Friendships created before, however, have persisted, and we still cling together as individuals, even though our divergent interests find us no longer together as a working unit. We are now looking forward eagerly to the homestretch in our study. Two things we now lack which the remaining period of study will supply; a surer professional touch, and a finer appreciation of the business aspect of our work. [219] ILLUSTRATION I X..

As Frosh, we have two problems facing us: the first, to gain the respect of our teachers with a con- scientious attitude towards our work; secondly, to become competent and self- confident in this chosen field of endeavor. Our class consists of a fine lot of sociable boys and girls, consistent and industrious in their search for knowledge. We intend to toe the mark by elevating the reputa- tion and standards of Pratt Institute. Our added hope is to carry on the fine traditional good standing that the school has represented in the past. Feeling flattered in being accepted into these halls of learning, we deem it an honor and a responsibility to carry on. To provide our inspiration, we have the work of Pratt alumni who have paved a way for us. There seems to be talent from many sections of our large country ably repre- sented in our class. We have delegates from Virginia, Michigan, Missouri and all points west among us; why, we even can account for a representative from Norway. And so in conclusion I say keep an eye peeled on us undergraduates. [ 223] INDUSTRIAL DESIGN II..INDUSTRIAL DESIGN II..IND ANDERSON, VICTOR G. 80 Wykagyl Terrace, New Rochelle, N. Y.

After reviving old and creating new friendships we settled down to work and study in our newly organized Industrial Design Department. With the opening of our new room in the east building, the class of Industrial Design II is making great strides for- ward. We are helping to make this room the show place of the school not only in finished work but in fascination of pro- duction. Here may be seen all types of work in all stages of completion from automobile design to metal spinning. This room has given us the facilities for designing three-dimensionally rather than the unsatisfactory method of de- signing two-dimensionally on paper. This is a far superior means, in that it gives us a chance to study more thoroughly the problems involved and to understand the limitations. Our progress this year has filled us with a sense of accomplishment, and we look forward to our third year with height- ened anticipation and an eagerness to carry on.

Striper Vice-President Marcaret Woops Secretary-Treasurer ’Tis said that the first year is the hardest, and so it might have been were it not for the constructive and excellent guid- ance of our instructors. As potential in- terior designers, we floundered at first, then grew steadier, as we began to understand the fundamental course, planned as a background for our special- ized field. Now that we have reached our second year and are at the halfway mark, neither the beginning nor the end of our school life here, we are enjoying actual problems comparable to those being experienced by designers already in the field, approaching them in a similar manner, and arriving, we hope, at an almost professional conclusion. Our training is founded on a basic knowl- edge of the periods of the past. Hence intensive research is vitally important to us, and in the study of the design and style of past eras we learn to understand the problems of design today and how to arrive at a logical solution in dealing with them. We truly hope that all we acquire here of knowledge in our chosen field will be responsible for a career so bright that Pratt Institute will fairly beam with pride in us.

We found the first year’s work interest- ing in its variety of subject matter. If at first we didn’t comprehend its exten- siveness, we can understand it now. It has proved itself vitally important as a foundation on which we are now building the work in our chosen field. As we near the completion of our second year we find that working in this con- genial and interesting group has led us to express our individualities in a number of mediums and techniques. Because of our keen enjoyment of our work, and the excellent training offered by our competent instructors, progress in our class has advanced to a point where we are approaching a professional level. Naturally we think we are good, but we are looking forward to our senior year, when, with our added manual ability, we will be able to express more artisti- cally and professionally what we have to say in our specific field.

TEACHER TRAINING III..TEAC FRANK WALTER President Mary FERRESE Vice-President CuHartes L. Roman, Jr. Secretary-Treasurer As each year draws to a close, we find ourselves a step nearer to our ultimate goal in life—teaching—an objective well worth striving for. It is not unusual to relate that, although we have found the work interesting and exciting, the road to final success still stretches before us. With the addition of academic and cul- tural subjects we have gained a better background, which enables us to cope with the new and varied teaching situa- tions in which we find ourselves. Some of the members of our group have entered new fields and are exerting their efforts toward their newly chosen goals. To these ex-classmates we extend our sincere wishes for a happy landing. As students we are striving to gain a professional viewpoint within our field, to better prepare ourselves for our future positions. With this purpose in mind, many in our class have given freely of their time and efforts in establishing and furthering the activities of the Junior division of the Eastern Arts Association. It is with a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment that we turn back the pages of our first three years at Pratt and look forward with hopeful anticipation that our final year here at the Institute may prove as fruitful as the ones we have completed.

[ 242 ] CHER TRAINING II..TEACHER TRAINING II..TEACHE ELsigE KRAUSE President HENRIETTA TAYLOR Vice-President JANE BrusHABER Secretary-Treasurer Two years of strenuous but happy edu- cation at Pratt are behind us, and two more years ahead of us. Eagerly we look forward to the new year, and yet we glance back regretfully at the years that have gone by so quickly that now we must stop, almost breathless, and reminisce. A group of enthusiastic future educators walked about in a preoccupied state of mind, consuming bookfuls of knowledge, retaining important information offered by our inspiring teachers, and getting a taste of our future profession—educat- ing. Best of all—practical experience in teaching has made us ardently deter- mined to hurdle all obstacles that may lie between us and our ultimate goal. Socially and intellectually, the Pratt chapter of the Junior Eastern Arts Asso- ciation has played an increasingly im- portant part in our growth. Now, we hope to pave the way for other schools in the East who may do us the honor of looking at us as a model—as, even, the leading art school in the country. The activities of the association have been possible only because of the fine co- operation of the student body under the encouragement and guidance of our supervisor, who is chairman of the entire JE An A. We have the beginnings of a strong, vital organization with many of our class- mates enthusiastically rallying to its exciting activities and opportunities. It’s going places and we're going with it.

[ 246 ] HER TRAINING I..TEACHER TRAINING I..TEACHER T ALFRED Horn President GERALDINE ELLIOTT Vice-President Joun ALLAN Treasurer EpitH WrLicoos Secretary We are now accustomed to Pratt and Pratt to us; we go about our daily work with the composure of veterans, for it is a commendable fact that from the very beginning we felt like welcomed guests. For this we wish to thank the efficiency and the intelligence of the Pratt setup, and, most specifically, our predecessors in Teacher Training, whom we have long regarded as colleagues rather than over- lords. Having thus accepted great responsibili- ties from the beginning, we were faced with the task of meeting them, and this we are proud to have done. Since only the upper brackets of the original class survived the mid-year showdown, the standards of the class are very high; although many of us were plucked pre- maturely, those who remain are just beginning to bloom. Individuals are already functioning smoothly in the J. E. A. A., our teachers’ association, others have had professional contact with classes unconnected with Pratt, and for which they volunteered, and the class as a whole is producing an elaborate puppet show, which will surprise every- one. It is usual for Freshmen classes to look toward their Sophomore year with the breathless anticipation of the slave who is to be freed, or as chorus girls who are at last to be stars. This we cannot do; we were never slaves or chorus girls. But as important parts of the show we seek with confidence a return engage- ment, a command performance, a long and brilliant “run.” [ 247 ] COSTUME DESIGN I..COSTUME DESIGN I..COSTUME DESIGN I..COSTUME DESIGN I..COSTUME DESIGN I.. VIRGINIA WISEMAN President GRACE SCILIPOTI Vice-President Betty CUTSINGER Secretary MarGARET LANTZ Treasurer Fashion offers a more cordial welcome to young women than almost any other field of endeavor. To us, the Junior Costume Designers, this year has been a wonderful opportunity, the initial step toward our goal in the professional world. The new surroundings and faces seemed strange to all of us, especially to those who come from other parts of the country. The hospitality of our Senior sisters and faculty made us soon feel at home. Now we know how to keep on straight grain, and our artistic work has im- proved in “proportions.” The field trips to museums, shops and exhibits have improved our taste, broadened our out- look, and made us utilize our practical knowledge. One of our first social activities was the tea given by the Seniors for the Juniors, which made us feel very much at home. This invitation is to be returned by a dance given by the Juniors for the Seniors. We have been greatly influenced by the school spirit which everyone manifests toward the Pratt Institute Fiftieth An- niversary. We have accomplished much under the guidance of our instructors and feel capable enough to successfully com- plete our third year.

We began to doubt the wisdom of our choice and stifled a desire to bolt and run. Perhaps we would fail all our subjects. Perhaps we would make no friends. Maybe no one would ever talk to us. But, no, here the girl on our left was smiling shyly at us and finally asking our name. Further conversation was interrupted by the appearance of a kindly looking man on the platform of Memorial Hall. He began to talk to us, quietly, earnestly. We felt so much more at ease, and with our new- found friend and Mr. Howe’s words of encouragement ringing in our ears we made our way to our first class. That feeling of dejection was even further dispelled by the attitude of our instructors. No words of praise can quite describe their devotion, understanding and wholehearted desire to impart to us their very great knowledge. The Seniors, too, helped so much to make us feel a part of Pratt Institute. They were so ready with advice and a helping hand to tide us over the rough places. That first feeling of despair has been changed to one of great hope for the future and in the distance we see the road so well described by the immortal Milton: A broad and ample road, whose dust is gold And pavement stars.

SMytTH President Raut DELGApo Vice-President Haroitp W. Hansen Treasurer Georce W. RINK Secretary As we returned at the beginning of the second year, we were quickly reminded that we were here for a purpose as Cal- culus and Analytical Chemistry reared up their ugly heads. We buckled down to the task quickly, however, and at- tacked the more practical aspects of Chemical Engineering with a vengeance. Our work is gradually assuming a new significance as we break away from the fundamental subjects to which we be- came accustomed in the first year. The Chem Lab is getting to seem more like home each day as we advance in our technical work. As a class we have taken part in most of the activities around school and in all of those of the Chemical Engineering department, functioning quite efficiently, even though we have had only one year’s experience. In sports, following the tradi- tions of the classes before us, we entered teams in the separate tournaments in combination with the first year class. Our soccer team was very unfortunate in having mostly green material, but it is hoped that this year’s experience will be a big help in putting out a winning outfit next year. We are quite proud of our basketball team, which won its division by defeating the Electrical II team 18 to 14 in a closely contested battle. We are sure they will make a good showing in the play-offs with the Arts- men. [ 263 J Bariin, Puro BANKER, BERNARD R. Bootu, ALBERT B. ByorkKSTEDT, Cart W. Brown, WILLIAM G. BurreEr, WILLARD G.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING I..CHEMICAL ENGIN ALAN LINCOLN President James H. Pirmpron Vice-President Cari W. ByorKSTEDT Treasurer Paut M. TrErRtizzi Secretary In September 1936 we, the most recent of the ‘‘Oderiferious Engineering Frater- nity’? (Chemical Engineering), met for the first time and were introduced to the grand old gentleman of Chemistry, Dr. Rogers. Not being content to be merely enrolled in the best course in Pratt, we shall strive to be the best class in that course. The first duty of the class was to elect officers. Although we did not have much time to get acquainted with our class- mates, we feel that we have made wise and fortunate choices. Those men elected have worked hard and long to success- fully put our class to the top. We have definitely made our mark in the sports world. Our teams have lived up to the reputation of all previous Chemi- cal teams. With the class solidly behind them, they forged well up among the leaders. And now as our first year at Pratt Insti- tute draws to a close, we appreciate this opportunity of extending our thanks to the faculty, whose interest in us as in- dividuals and as prospective engineers has made this year a most enjoyable and progressive one.

Srrortak Secretary Reminiscing brings back the enduring memories of the past two years in Pratt. On entering our first school year, that of 1935, we experienced an overpowering awe that shone through our cloak of non- chalance like a beacon on a dark night. An unconscious respect was attributed to all upperclassmen regardless of per- sonal appearance. The first stiffness passed and we plunged into our work with a new and awakening spirit. That first year in Pratt presented us with a wealth of enjoyment and knowledge. The second year added to our riches immeasurably and broadened our aspect on college life. All of our achievements are due primarily to the encouragement and consideration shown us by our in- structors and fellow students. The fraternal attitude existing within the classes was in itself a revelation to the students. Amid these congenial sur- roundings, the hard work was eased con- siderably. We sincerely hope this class spirit will prevail even after we have ventured into the industrial and scientific world. These are purely our sentiments. For actual facts, we claim credit for the in- novation of the afternoon dances which have been enjoyed by all. Our bowling, soccer and basketball teams have dis- played winning form and are steadily improving. We hold great expectations for our baseball team. We owe a debt of gratitude to our in- structors for their untiring efforts on our behalf, and we hope that they exemplify our prospective employers.

ENGLEMAN President THEODORE G. CLARK Vice-President ARTHUR V. CARLSON Treasurer Americus GuIDA Secretary On the morning of September 15 a group of young men met and were cordially and cheerfully informed that they were to be the Electrical Class of ’39. The genial informer was our course supervisor, Mr. Cook. Ideals, aims and personal conduct of typical Pratt men were expounded by him. His advice to us was to organize as soon as possible and set up our budget. This we did during our first two weeks at Pratt. Much encouraged by the high spirit of our upperclassmen, we began at once to hammer away at one third of the job before us, our first year of studying and learning, as a decisive step toward our goal of Electrical Engineers. Scholastic work, however, did not cap- ture all of our enthusiasm, as shown by the support our class gave to the second- year soccer team. This first-year group of athletically talented young men always shared honors with the second-year men whenever victories were proclaimed. This same group, with undaunted spirit and enthusiasm, always put up stiff opposition on the basketball court. By far the most valuable experience of our first year at Pratt was the beginning of our friendship with our instructors. We have not only grasped book matter from them, but we have profited greatly by their advice, suggestions and fore- sightedness. To these navigators of our engineers’ ship of learning we give our heartiest and warmest feelings of grati- tude. [275] MECHANICAL ENGINEERING II..MECHANICAL ENGI ANDARAKIS, GEORGE Z.

We have endeavored to uphold the tradi- tions of the department as well as exert our own rugged individualism. Our work is gradually becoming more and more practical and intensive, pointing all too quickly to our entrance into the indus- trial world. As Freshmen last year both our basket- ball and bowling teams won the inter- class championships. This year the bowlers are conceded a good chance of repeating their victory, but the basket- ball team got off to a poor start and is hoping the breaks will come its way. We entered the soccer league in the fall with high hopes, but we had to be con- tent with second place. All is not lost, however, as we hope to do big things when the baseball season rolls around. Many of the class are members of the Pratt Branch of the A. S. M. E. and have taken an active part in the various activities of the society. We realize that our extracurricular activities are a worth- while part of our training and we have made every effort to take full advantage of them. We are fully appreciative of the efforts of our class officers and the instructors in our department. Next year we will return with more pep and a new endeavor to make our class the best ever to graduate from our department—or from Pratt. [ 279] MECHANICAL ENGINEERING I.

Surron, Jr. Secretary Epwarp F. AUMULLER Treasurer We are here, the Class of ’39. We have been practically silent up to the present. We now take the stand and reveal our- selves to a certain extent. Having become accustomed to our new diggings, we resigned ourselves to what was in store for us. Regular formalities, such as making new acquaintances, choosing class officers, picking the vari- ous athletic teams, creating budgets and paying class dues, and becoming familiar with our new studies, were our first activities. These, and later activities, were all entered into with great fervor. It was something new to us and we in- tended to get the most out of it. By dismissing (from the mind) the limit- ations bestowed upon us by the upper- classmen, many of us were able to realize a sense of freedom not hitherto encoun- tered in previous institutions of learning. We must work hard in order to obtain a full appreciation of the knowledge that is set before us. Acquired knowledge is an asset even greater than riches. That is, it is an asset if it is applied and made use of. There are times when problems are encountered that seem insurmount- able, but the harder the problem, the greater the satisfaction becomes when the problem is solved. With this in view, we, the Class of 39, set forth the intention of perpetuating the high standards which typify the institution that we are attending.

Formally and prattonically speaking, I resign . . . hand over my high and mighty job of chasing after club write-ups, social assistants, good-for-nothing engineers, and thinking, thinking, and worrying. Prattonia Board, home of wageless slavery. With one foot in the grave, a spring cold, and a bad case of the grouches, I turn in my last and final “scoop,” if you can call it that. With due respect to age, position and what not, torn between love for fellow sufferers and the de- sire to do right by Prattonia, | submit my final assignment. “Gone with the Wind,” but not forgotten is the social season. With little or no lift of the spirit I admit that sometimes it’s exciting and sometimes it’s just plumb wearying, this business of being social editor. But toujours gai. . . if I could only time a nervous bre akdown properly. Here’s a résumé of the social past of Pratt... do with it what you will!! Oh yes, there’re some dances in the future . . . merely the Senior Prom, to be hopefully held at the Waldorf-Astoria . . . maybe!! Wohler Chemical Society Formal at the famous Pratt Recreation Hall on April 10th . . . the night of nights for the Chemists . . . beg pardon, the Engineers . . . Junior Costume Design ‘“‘something or other” on April 2nd . . . and now and then a few afternoon dances. thrown in to entice the truckin’ fiends. Student Council sponsors them and scores a hit with the Pratt Pretties and their escorts. In May comes the big celebration . . . Fiftieth Anniversary. As for the past . . . a conglomeration of incoherent phrases, and wastebasket tidbits. October 9th . . . The Art School Reception . . . it all began when the faculty and art students met and mingled and Engineers tried to crash. Recreation Hall was over-run with incoming art students, smiling teachers, and the old-timers, the junior and senior art students. No sooner had the echoes of this affair died away when the Architects and Artists gave a ““Howdy”’ dance. ... October 15th... without benefit of introduction, the common garden variety of conversation ran, “Where do you come from?” and “What course are you taking?”’ Even as the Artists and Architects were faced with the menace of Engineers, the dance was a hit and many a young thing started on the road to ro- mance. .. . October 23rd . . . it is a pleasure to report that the Chemical Engineers came through with a bang (typical of the species) in sponsoring the first evening dance of the social season. Most of the engineers were there and the Artsmen (all three of them) blended in with them helped to make the affair a huge success. It must have been good since I heard a few favorable comments from the Art School... . In the course of the social swim we had “A Nite with Neptune.” ’Twas given by the Artsmen . . . December 4th . . . A briny atmosphere with sweet music (paradoxical, I calls it) amused a goodly crowd. The hall was periodically illuminated by photoflashes as the photo department candidly wormed their way around the decorations. To start off the Christmas holidays with a dash of spice, the Artists and Architects jointly gave a Christmas party. As per usual custom, presents poking fun at the teachers were distributed, much to everyone’s amusement. Santa Claus Haff [ 290 ] OPEN LETTER TO THE EDITOR was the red-and-white-garbed individual whose courage as well as his tummy needed bolstering. Added attraction . . . floor show with eight truckin’ reindeers . . . and a new interpretation of “Jingle Bells.’’ Swing music they call it... . December 19th ... Ferries on Flirtation Walk, an innovation that would have been welcomed on this rainy, rainy nite when the Artisans opened their dance to whoever had hip boots and a nice crisp dollar bill. Another healthy drop in the social bucket, in fact a dance of the first water. Everyone entered into the spirit of the thing and played “‘ring-’round rosy”’ about the Christmas tree. Most of the truckin’, however, was done by cabs at 12 0’clock. I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be a sponge and two oars with every date next year. Shortly after the much-needed holidays, the Paletteers, growing tired of the “pantsdon’tmatch- coat” garb of the Pratt boys, introduced the Ukranian dancers who think that pants don’t count at all, almost hardly. They ate, too, the Paletteers I mean . . . maybe the dancers did too, anyhoo the Paletteers got pretty pins to give away and the dancers didn’t. . . . Paletteer Banquet ... January 20th that was... and on February 6th . . . The Mad House of Fashion gave a dance. . . . after giving Recreation Hall the once over, they threw a barn dance. Swinging from the rafters was a new sensa- tion in twisted crepe paper and lollypops . . . also several shadows closely resembling students. This might be termed a ‘“‘Swing Dance.” The barnlike atmosphere became so deeply imbedded in the students’ minds that they haven’t closed a door since. I have seen more crowded dance floors but I can’t remember where. . . . Not to be outdone by the Costume Designers, the Junior Dietitians spilled the beans with an afternoon Bingo Party and Dance... February 10th... . They are still pulling the finances out of the hole and the beans out of the cracks in the floor. Somebody whose name starts from A to Z won something when everything was added up... . March 3rd and 4th . . . the Pratt Playshop presented the ‘“‘Would-Be Gentleman” .. . as if a group of art students could!!! Nevertheless, he was a hit... don’t squirm!! On the side of what theater-goers jokingly call their minds they enjoyed this modern adaptation of Moliére’s comedy. Ten days later, on March 13th, the Paletteers and the Architects masked themselves and their dates to play hide and seek. On this night even your best friend wouldn’t tell you . ‘cause there was no such thing as finding your best friend. The great mystery seemed to be, “who was with who, at what time, and who found the bustle with the green and orange stripes under a chair?”’ It was a veddy, veddy interesting affair. March 19th .. . they tell me that the affair was a success. Why shouldn’t it be? . .. Chemical Engineers sponsored it. As Prattonia must go to press, the dance had to be personally neglected . . . mmmmmmm.... When all is said and done. . . and all is said and done... it wasn’t such a bad job after all. Regretfully, perhaps, I go back to the old routine . . . just a student of fashion and no longer under the obligations of Prattonia’s whims. I, at this point, notify you of my resignation as Social Editor, effective as of March 26, 1937.

MarHews Treasurer Through the efforts of the Student Council, a group of students representing the entire student body of Pratt Institute, it can be said that the year, 1936-37, saw the Red Cross drive for funds successfully accomplish its purpose; held many happy memories of the Tuesday afternoon dances; and upheld “school spirit’”’ by keeping the four schools in close contact with each other. The primary functions of the organization are to maintain the high level of social and recreational functions and to act as the “voice”’ for the students. The Council affords the official means and place and is for the betterment of student activities. By the end of October, a power given to the Council in the last few years was put into effect . . . that of electing the Prattonia Board. Applications for position on the board were submitted, voted on by the Council, and Prattonia Board settled down to the task of putting out a bigger and better book. The election this year, due to unavoidable circumstances, took place at a late date; thereby increasing the responsibilities of the staff and putting it to the test of publishing a book in less time than allotted to the staffs of previous years. The Student Council feels justified in taking pride in the responsibility of the selection and is satisfied in knowing that a more capable group could not have been elected. In reply to a general desire among the students for more afternoon dances, the Council arranged to have Recreation Hall set aside on alternate Tuesdays for these affairs. Proving successful, the dances have been a means of acquainting the students of the various schools of the Institute and creating a feeling of “e a” oneness. The Senior Prom, an affair which sadly lacked the enthusiasm and support of the graduates of last year, will this year be held at one of the hotels in New York. The Hotel Waldorf-Astoria and the Hotel Plaza are two of the many suggested as fitting and proper places to hold ““The Dance”’ in the lives of the seniors. As Prattonia goes to press, no definite plans have been made. Nevertheless, the affair is in capable hands, and a Prom as fine as any in the past is expected. [ 293 ] PALETTEERS Rutu Steck President MarGARET GABY Vice-President Mary Hussarp Secretary Mary AMLER Treasurer Social Director Business Director Publicity Director Honorary President Mary Louise Sisson VirRGINIA DIETRICH HELEN GROBE GeorciA EVEREST The Paletteers launched the year 1936-37 with a series of activities, namely: the contribution to the summer’s exhibit; the participation with the Arts- men and Architects in the customary “Howdy” dance and annual ‘“‘Xmas”’ party; the exhibition of the work of Lucille Patterson Marsh, child illustrator; distribution and dressing of one hundred and fifty Christmas dolls; and the exhibition of the pencil drawings of Ernest Watson. By the end of March, an exhibit of the work of Norman Rockwell and an exhibit of the applied industrial designs of several well-known designers were added to the program and an active season came to a close. Featured at the Paletteer Banquet were the Ukranian dancers who were also a feature of the “much discussed’? Masquerade. At the banquet, pins were distributed to each Paletteer for her yearly dues. The Masquerade, a high point in the social season, was held in collaboration with the Architects. The success of the evening depended largely on the clever decorations and the patronage of the students. ARTSMEN ALEXANDER RIMASH President JOHN SHARKO Vice-President JoHN REARDON Secretary FRANK WALTER Treasurer Social Director Educational Director Athletic Director Publicity Director Publicity Director Honorary President Epcar B. Brack RicHarpD HoGan RoBERT POWELL FRANK CILIBERTI CHARLES FITZPATRICK WILLIAM LONGYEAR In a friendly spirit, the year of 1937 was inaugu- rated with the customary “Howdy’’ dance which was held in conjunction with the Paletteers and Architects. The social season was opened and a gala social program followed this event: ‘“A Nite with Neptune” dance, Artsmen Banquet, Christ- mas party and numerous afternoon dances. The success of these functions was due to the co- operation of each individual Artsman. The present organization takes pleasure in publicly acknowledg- ing the distinctive services of Frank Ciliberti and Charles Fitzpatrick, publicity directors. An exhibition of the works of Gilbert Bundy, Saul Tepper and other noted illustrators formed a part of the educational program of the Artsmen. In athletics the Artsmen upheld the high ratings set by the previous years in soccer, basketball, swimming, bowling and baseball. The present officers confidently entrust into the hands of the forthcoming Artsmen executives the tradition and high hopes of the organization. [ 294] ARCHITECTS ae = ; sed 3 E) Px i Ye = ¢ 4 a my Henry T. SHOTWELL President Ropert H. McKay Secretary Micuaret A. PARENTE Treasurer The Architects, an organization made up of the three classes comprising the Department of Archi- tecture, opened the social season with a smoker held at the Men’s Club. This smoker is held annually to welcome the first year students. Given in conjunction with the Artists, the “Howdy” dance proved a great success and the newcomers made further acquaintances. Highly successful affairs with practically one hun- dred per cent attendance of the faculty and students were the banquets of November 6th and March 19th. At these banquets which were held at the Architectural League in New York, much valuable information was obtained from the speeches de- livered by the guests of the evening. A third banquet is planned for sometime before graduation and it is hoped that it will be as successful as those held in the early part of the season. This year the Architects joined ranks with the Paletteers to put over a “bigger and better” dance. It was this combination that made the Masquerade the huge success that it was. A successful year as a whole, 1936-37 will long be remembered by all. ARTISANS Nina P. Kopack President CRISTINE ARQUEDAS Vice-President Doris HaLttaM Secretary ELIzABETH FLECK Treasurer ANNE E. SEROTKIN AureLIA C. Mosca ErHeL, CEDERQUIST ELIzABETH A. ALLEN EvELYN WINTERS Junior Representative Senior Representative Social Chairman Publicity Chairman Club Adviser The Artisans Club, an undergraduate equivalent of the Costume Graduate Group, is composed of students of the Costume Design and Dressmaking classes. Its purpose is to bring speakers who hold positions in the professional field before the Club. In this way the students are given a wider knowl- edge of their profession and are brought into con- tact with conditions and requirements in the business world. This year the Club was fortunate in having such speakers as Pauline Fields, designer for her own dress house; Virginia Pope, Fashion Editor of the New York Zimes; and Mary McKee, training department executive of Lord Taylor. In addition to its professional development, the Club held a Christmas dance to promote social interest among its members. A voted success, the dance began the Christmas vacation on a high note. [ 295 ] WOMEN’S CLUB President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer THERESA HEALY HELEN CULLEN Rutu Rossins The pleasant moments spent at the Women’s Club and the conveniences that it affords will long be remembered by the girls at Pratt Institute. Never forgotten will be the hustle and bustle at noon hour, with the noisy clatter of pots and pans; the rush and clamor for tables, the hurried clean-up of the kitchen and dining room at the end of the hour. Never forgotten will be the congenial at- mosphere that prevails in and around the Club. The monthly get-together suppers with the guest speakers will always be recalled to mind with grate- ful appreciation of the educational value of these informal talks. The soft warm glow of the fire in the reception room; the radio playing the latest popular pieces . and some of the old favorites too; the sewing room and the pretty things made therein; the reading room with the informative and interesting magazines; the garden where leisure hours were spent basking in the sun; the friendship and hos- pitality of Miss Owens . . . knowing the Women’s Club, could one forget? MEN’S CLUB Ray McDona.p Frep D. WricHtT JuLius CaAsTANGI Club Representative Faculty Adviser Custodian This year, as in previous years, the Men’s Club played its traditional important part in the extra- curricular activities of Pratt Institute. Its reading rooms furnished our contact with current affairs, both politic and academic; and its game rooms offered the recreational outlet required by normal student life. The bowling tournaments this year proved bowling to be the outstanding sport, although pool and billiards maintained a constant following. Parties, given by the various social clubs of the Institute, and meetings of the technical societies of the S. T. School kept the Main Hall in frequent occupation. Perhaps the Men’s Club deserves its greatest ac- claim as a popular recess retreat, where the men of all schools meet on an equal footing. [ 296 ] A:'S'M:E: WitiiaAM A. FREER Chairman CLARENCE J. Roppy Vice-Chairman Francis W. FIALa Secretary Mr. R. B. Date Honorary Chairman This year, as in previous years, the A.S.M.E. student branch was composed of the regular student section and the aeronautical and automotive sec- tions. A large variety of papers, which presented a good cross-section of the activities current in the field, were presented at meetings of these sections. An effort was made this year to bring the student members into closer contact with the parent so- ciety, the American Institute of Mechanical En- gineers. A joint meeting of the junior members and student members of the several Metropolitan sec- tions was held during the month of February at Cooper Union. Several members attended meetings and also the Student Luncheon held in conjunction with the annual A.S.M.E. convention and brought back favorable reports on contacts and new de- velopments. It may be said that the A.S.M.E. student branch is becoming more important each year in preparing the students of the Mechanical Engineering De- partment for their engineering careers. Otto H. Nauman Chairman Rosert J. KocHem Vice-Chairman Epwin J. JAKIELSKI Secretary SAMUEL J. BozzELia Treasurer The Pratt branch of the A.I.E.E. again enjoyed a successful year in respect to activities within the school and without. The student branch, which is conducted solely by the student members, offers an opportunity for the electrical students to present their own papers to the group, to participate in discussions of en- gineering practice, and to hear prominent men from the electrical field speak on subjects of engineering interest. Interest in the branch is definitely increasing since the enrollment this year has far surpassed any of former years. Seventy-five percent of the entire department have signed up and are actively asso- ciated with the branch. Numerous inspection trips were conducted to vari- ous plants within the Metropolitan area which were typical of general engineering practice. The Hudson Avenue generating station and the In- dependent Subway System maintenance yards proved very instructive. We feel sure that we have made some genuine progress due to the guidance of our advisers and the efforts of all to co-operate. { 297] DIETITIANS 2e a Heven M. DreGALLA President JEAN WaAuGH Vice-President TRENE L. LEONHARD Secretary-Treasurer Recina BEtiKkorr Chairman, Program Committee With the close of the year 1936-37, the members of the Dietetics Club look back on a year of interesting activities. The Club brought before the students and faculty many distinguished speakers from the Dietetic field. Throughout the year members of the classes in Dietetics also appe ared before the Club and gave interesting talks about food customs of their native lands. The Senior Class in Dietetics graciously co- operated by having foreign dinners follow the Club meetings. It has been the good fortune of the Club to have C. F. Stoddard of the Mechanical Kitchen and S. Margaret Gillam, head Dietitian of the New York Hospital, speak to the Club members. By bringing the students into closer contact with persons who are actually working in the various fields of Dietetics, it is felt that the students will be enlightened as to what is expected of them in the professional field. HOME ECONOMICS EvizABetu C. SMITH President SuirRLEY W. DELANO Vice-President VerA E. FREWERT Secretary IRENE W. SNYDER Treasurer EvizABETH C. CONDIT Faculty Adviser The Home Economics Club has carried out a busy program despite the unfortunate absence of the president, Miss Smith. The aim of the Club is to further the interest of the students of economics in the field of food and clothing and to prepare them for membership in the national organization after graduation. This student club is affiliated with the American Home Economics Association and the Home Economics Association of Greater New York and keeps itself informed concerning their activities through bulletins and pamphlets from these organ- izations. Household Science and Arts students are privileged to attend the meetings and conventions of both organizations. At the beginning of the year a tea was given for the Home Economics clubs of the high schools of Greater New York with the students of the H. S. A. school co-operating as hostesses. The tea was preceded by a short business meeting at which the students were addressed by Miss Condit and Mrs. Hoeg, both actively interested in the organization. [298 ] sees irre Gt Chairman Secretary Faculty Adviser Friint CANDE CHARLES HUBBARD N. W. MacKenzie The Sons and Brothers of Alumni is an organization whose purpose is to connect the alumni spirit and indirect support with the present students of Pratt Institute. It is now in its fourth year and its membership has increased greatly during this time. This increase in membership has stimulated in- terest in all the school activities in which the members could be of assistance. This assistance and wholehearted support were given to all other activities. The club officiated during the year at Alumni Day, and on all days set aside for visitors to view the S. T. School. The type of work done in the past by the organiza- tion gives every reason to believe that the club will progress until it is invaluable to the various activities of the S. T. School. Wohler Chemical Society Raymonp S. McDonap President WALTER BAUMEISTER Vice-President Joun Matix Treasurer RaymMonp HALE Secretary The devotion of the Chemical Engineers to the Wohler Chemical Society is equaled only by their esteem for its founder, Dr. Allen Rogers, whose in- terest is the guiding motive for all its functions. The most important of these are the regular monthly meetings consisting basically of technical talks and films, depicting affairs of current interest in the field of Chemical Engineering. The informality of these gatherings has been very beneficial in bringing together student and instructor on common ground. Other affairs which are looked forward to each year are the annual formal dance in April and the final banquet at the Chemists’ Club in May, both well- attended and distinctive gatherings. The society is aggressively active in carrying out its aim of the promotion of interest on the part of the classes in the activities of the industrial world. We trust that the society will continue to be of help to its members and a credit to the school. [ 299 ] THE REST HOUSE | : fo ; 2 ; i . Miss JANET W. HALE Mrs. CATHERINE HatcH All praise be to the Rest House and to Miss Hale and Mrs. Hatch for the motherly attention given us during those days when our overwrought sys- tems bowed to colds and all those other ailments that sneak upon the unwary student who lives away from home. It is indeed a comfort to have such a retreat with that homelike atmosphere where we may convalesce before starting back to the “‘eternal grind.” The daily call of the school doctor, coupled with the capable services of the two nurses, assures the ailing student of a speedy recovery. The patient also has access to a small library to help him while away the weary hours while he is recuperating. So remember, students, when you feel that all is not as it should be with your health, just step around to 244 Vanderbilt Avenue; place yourself in the hands of the expert medical staff and you will be as good as cured. PRATT PLAYSHOP SAMUEL GILMAN President CarOLyYN PopE Secretary Ira Herrick Treasurer Organized late in the fall of 1935, the dramatic club, the Pratt Playshop, has steadily grown and is now recognized as a successful group of young performers, always aiming to cultivate a higher taste and a more stimulated interest in drama. Last year this group presented a fine performance of the comedy, “‘Three-Cornered Moon,” the pro- ceeds of which were donated to the “‘Help-the- Other-Fellow-Fund,” the student aid fund of the art school. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings of March third and fourth, the curtain rose on the presenta- tion of a costume play, including music and danc- ing, a modern adaptation of ‘‘The Would-Be Gentleman” by Moliére. Mr. Manisoff, a pro- fessional actor and director, who worked with the group on “Three-Cornered Moon’’, also directed this year’s elaborate and successful production. With two years of experience behind the Pratt Playshop, the work of the club is just beginning.

[ 302] THE PRATT——LER This department is full of love, not for our latest crush, not for the dazzling new porch on the library, not even for you, gentle blue-eyed reader. No, but for that superb idea of the art school’s loving master and guiding spirit to install a dash of aeronautics into next year’s entrance exams, or perhaps a course of “‘art in the air.” High above the clouds we fly painting pictures in the sky. Yea, verily!!! And this is not all! ! ! A rumor has reached us that the architects, the builder-uppers, who have graduated every year for the last three years are to linger on with us for a fourth year for the purpose of delving into the mysteries of “structural aeronautifications.””’ Any year now they will become one of the Pratt Landmarks. To think of these poor souls wandering around with a “‘yo ho ho” and a head of gray hair. Alack and alas, everlasting school boys. Across the way in that nice big sandbox, where the damsels dare not tread, the boys are staying on another year to break the hearts of the little housekeepers . . . and to think what we of the school of fine arts must leave behind us. Youth must be served . . . lucky little dietitians. All day long they tear around like a mouse, tracking down old Vogues, 1¢ Oregon board, 3H pencils, paint rags, and fixatif. Patiently, though, they wait for Joe’s elusive elevator, going up instead of down; going down instead of up. These ““they”’ we are talking about are those utterly aesthetic souls who are sometimes referred to among others as students of “Prattses College,’ Brooklyn, that little hamlet where cats still enliven the starry night with blood curdling yowls on the back fence. “Prattses College,’ located somewhere between DeKalb Avenue and a chocolate factory. If you aren’t as yet carried away by our enthusiasm we give up. We're not angry, but we're terribly, terribly hurt. We're no snob and we'd walk two blocks any day to get a piece of 7¢ illustration board for 6¢, but beware, communistic red runs riot in Sol’s when capitalistic Pratt waves its banner. Swing it! ! For a long time we stayed away from that abode of masculinity, the boiler- makers’ paradise. We were finally lured in by one of those strong silent specimens (alliteration again) of engineering manhood, who are the only ones who can endure without a murmur both the ravages of the dietitians’ culinary efforts and Char- ley’s day-old beer. Even so, even so. To be a good cook and housekeeper these days, a girl needs a course in electrical engineering and general mechanics. Maybe that’s why the dietitians go for the engineers. We’re jealous ’cause we can’t cook. Nose to the ground, we’ve been dashing hither and yon trying to distinguish one dietitian from another for nigh onto three years now. Whenever this feat is accomplished we chortle happily with girlish delight. Many is the time that we've been unjustly accused of being uppity, but this we insist, is not the case. It is that disguise they all wear. Whenever we venture into their innermost sanctum and see all these young things puttering around and looking so pure and simple (in a nice way, of course) in their newly starched bibs, we always feel guilty about our wordly existence. Well... anyway... . We point a happy finger at the Library School, that place of such dignity and decorum that our poor giddy words do it no justice at all. At least that’s what we should think it would be. Of course we’ve never, never seen a library student and there are some doubting souls who claim there is no such creature, but that is neither hither nor yon. We personally know of at least two people who have and they say that there exists the type of gal who when she says, ‘“‘Have a good time, Abigail’’, really means it. That ought to be good enuf guarantee for any- body! So there! ! But come, come my good woman, you grow too verbose and you know there’s an editor with a big blue pencil to cut us short. So back we go to our tatting.

D. Wright Mr. W. H. McKillop Director, Dept. Physical Ed. Coach of all Teams Basketball and baseball are the only sports at the Institute which have a varsity rating and are conducted on an intercollegiate basis. In basketball under the efficient managership of Powell and McDonald a schedule of unusual merit and caliber was completed. A study of this schedule will show games of uniform difficulty throughout, with no “setups” from start to finish. The team, in concluding this series with eight victories and six defeats, has made no mean record. In our interclass athletic program the regular series in soccer, football, basketball, swimming and baseball were conducted. With the advent of three-year classes the number of competing teams in class leagues has increased to ten. This allows an even larger percentage of the student body to compete in our intra- mural program. In addition to the above sports informal com- petition and classes were conducted in fencing and in boxing. If I were asked to comment on the value of these sports to our students who participate, I would say that such wholesome activities make a direct contribution to the deeper appreciation, satisfaction, and joy of living.

The Council was organized for the purpose of promoting interclass athletics and governing student activities held in and around the Institute. The council is com- posed of one member from each class in each year in the S. T. School, and one member each from the Artsmen and Architects. The Athletic Council acts as a medium through which the opinions and wishes of the student body may be presented to the Institute authorities. The Council has successfully instituted competition in soccer, basketball, bowling, swimming and pool. With the completion of baseball in the spring the Council will conclude its activities for the year. The present members unite in expressing the hope that their successors will have as successful a season as we did. Michael J. Stevens, President [310] VARSITY BASKETBALL..VARSITY BASKETBALL.VA With the return of the entire last year’s squad the outlook for the ’36 37 season was very bright. Through the efforts of Coach McKillop and Manager Ray McDonald, a fine schedule was arranged. Disappointment was felt in not being able to achieve last year’s record. The cause for our losses was our failure to ‘‘click”’ at times while other times we played good ball. The individual games were hard fought and intensely exciting, with the margin of victory often one or two points. The two most interesting and keenly contested games were the two Poly games, both of which we lost—the first by one point at home, and the second by four points at Poly. With the experience gained in this season, and the lessons learned, the team should reach a new high in Pratt basketball history next year. We wish them the best of luck. Howard Havemeyer, Captain LAFAYETTE 50 PRADINSS Pratt started off the season with the right spirit by defeating the Lafayette team by a five point margin. Johnny Mardy and Nick Zuraw led the scoring with fourteen points each, and Levin was a close runner-up with thirteen. The score at the half was Pratt 29, Lafayette 28. SPRINGFIELD 50 BRAM 30 Pratt received their first defeat of the season from Springfield after seesawing the score with them for the first three quarters. In the last quarter, Springfield’s fresher substitutes were able to run up a twenty point lead over our tired team. ST. LAWRENCE 45 PRATT 49 Johnny Mardy’s 19 points and Levin’s 11 tallies went far toward making the game a victory for the home team. Coach McKillop’s boys valiantly fought down a two point lead in the second half to emerge victorious by two baskets. DAVIS-ELKINS 38 PRATT 40 Our hats are off to Nick Zuraw for his eagle-eyed shooting in the most exciting game of the season. With but one exception, Nick sank every toss he started, bringing his total to 18 points for the game. Although the game was close through- out, Pratt’s superior teamwork sent the hoarse spectators home contented. N. Y. 8S: TEACHERS 32 PRATT 40 The home team under the able leadership of Captain Havemeyer took their third straight win on the N. Y. State Teacher’s floor. Johnny Mardy was the high scorer with seventeen points to his credit. Rew Delgo PRATT 44 Coach McKillop’s boys continued their two day trip upstate by beating Rensse- laer to the tu ne of 44-32. Nick Zuraw led the Pratt scoring with thirteen points while Levin trailed him closely with twelve. The score at the end of the first half was 26-16, Pratt’s favor. ALUMNI 22 PRATT 41 To the accompaniment of much banter between the old grads and the under- grads Pratt submerged the seemingly endless stream of players from the alumni bench. Zuraw was again high scorer for Pratt with 12 points, while Johnny Reiser, the popular one-handed shooter of the ’35 class, led the alumni with 10 points. LOWELL TEXTILE 23 BRAMie 52 From the wrong end of a 15-9 score at the end of the first half, Pratt came back strongly, stopping Lowell’s attack, to trounce them to the tune of 32-23. Levin was high scorer with 10 points while Johnny Mardy was runner-up with 8. [311] VARSITY BASKETBALL COLUMBIA 45 PRATT 33 A large Pratt turnout watched their team lead Columbia through the first half, with the scoreboard reading 20-19 at the mid gun. During the second half, how- ever, the Lions started a furious drive and piled up a comfortable lead. Mardy led the scoring with 17 points. PROVIDENCE 50 PRATT 31 Pratt suffered from the loss of Johnny Mardy and dropped the game to Providence by a margin of nineteen points. Pantas with eight points and Nick Zuraw with seven led the scoring for the home team. The Rhode Island boys had the advan- tage at the halfway mark with the score reading 26-13. BROOKLYN POLY 27 PRATT 26 Captain Havemeyer’s team lost the first Poly game of the season by the narrow edge of one point after a hard fight. Nick Zuraw played a fine game and ran up eleven points for Pratt while Havemeyer came through with six more. DELAWARE 40 PRATT 54 Pratt arrived back on the winning side by an easy win over Delaware after battling down a 7-3 lead that the visitors ran up in the first few minutes of play. Nick Zuraw was high scorer with fourteen points and Mangani and Sherlock were runners-up with eleven each. DREXEL 45 PRATT 28 Pratt lost to Drexel on the Ryerson Street court after a hard battle. The high scorers for the game were Mangani with six points and Zuraw and Sherlock with four points each. The score at half time was 17-20 with Drexel in the lead. BROOKLYN POLY 33 PRATT 29 The home team dropped the second Poly game on Poly’s court after a nip and tuck game. Although Poly held the lead for practically the whole game the home team was never more than a few points behind. Gus Mangani was the top scorer for the Pratt team with ten points. Poly had the lead at the half by a score of 15-10. [312] VARSITY BASEBALL..VARSITY BASEBALL..VARSITY ms i? 2 Ld hee e 4 fg!

[314] BASEBALL..VARSITY BASEBALL..VARSITY BASEBA Though only one man of varsity caliber was added to the veteran team of 1935, a successful year was enjoyed. Against our traditional opening rivals, Stevens Institute, Pratt started auspiciously by winning 3-1. In the first inning, Barbieri and Pantas hit successive long homers. With this lead, Stankus pitched beautiful ball for an opening game and let the Castle Point engineers down with two hits. A single by Captain Marck, coupled with another single and a fielder’s choice, scored the last run. Playing on a cold wind-swept diamond, the Pratt team lost to the University of Delaware at Newark, Delaware. Our boys held a two run lead until the eighth, when three errors aided by two hits ruined “Lefty” Bogart’s fine pitching per- formance, leaving the final score 5-3. The following Saturday an erratic Pratt team was defeated by Drew University at New Jersey. A four-hit hurling game aided by heavy hitting and stellar support enabled Drew to win by 11-0. Our boys got back into the win column by wreaking their vengeance on Seth Low on our home diamond. “ Whitey’’ Schlesinger in his first turn showed up well. Homers by Pantas and Schlesinger and heavy hitting by Gregoritch and Barbieri led the attack. Wagner, a bitter rival to our 1935 veterans, went down to defeat at Grimes Hill on Staten Island in the next game. Though handicapped with the absence of seniors who were on inspection trips, the younger members fought hard and won out, 11—9. Schlesinger turned in an excellent relief job for Stankus, who had to retire when he became sick. Jaklitsch, Zeale and Pantas led in the attack, the latter featuring with a home run. The next victim was New York State Teachers who went down under by the score of 11-3. Stankus pitched tight ball and had a perfect day at bat, getting three out of three. ““Mac”’ Gitlin garnered a four bagger. The finale of the season was against the Alumni, who became another mark in the win column. Bogart twirled an easy game with a strong lead throughout. “Russ” Holzmacher, in his last game, and Joe Zeale led the batters. This wound up a successful season for our boys. Undoubtedly we will miss the sterling services of Captain Andy Marck, ‘‘Mac” Gitlin, and “Russ” Holz- macher, but with a promising squad of freshman material and the nucleus of last year’s team, Coach McKillop looks forward to another good season. At the conclusion of the season, Lee Pantas, I.M.E. ’37, and John Barbieri, I.M.E. ’37, were elected co-captains for this season and Herbert Spraker, I.Ch.E. ’37, was appointed manager.

Breaking traditions last year, “Connie” and “Mimsy” were ad- mitted to the squad and were the first girl cheerleaders in the history of the school. SOCCER Captain Rivera was right in pre- dicting at the end of last season that his team would win again this year, to make the second consecu- tive soccer championship for the Electricals. The ‘‘Pratt Bowl”’ saw many hardfought battles, but the I.E.E. team took them all in their stride. Everything went along smoothly until the Mech. I team came along to beat the Electricians. This de- feat called for a playoff of the best two out of three games, but one of these turned out to be a tie, and so a fourth had to be played. The third year I.E.E.s won two and tied one of the four games, however, and they left the now cold, windswept field with light hearts. [ 316 ] BOXING This manly sport gives the par- ticipants self-confidence and co- ordination and enough exercise to balance the rigorous scholastic schedule. It teaches them restraint of temper and the valuable quality of being able to “take it’’ from the other fellow without flying off the handle. While the main object of the club is to impart to the members an appreciation of the sport, at the same time there are a number of good boxers developed each year. FENCING The fencing team started the year with an enthusiastic squad of forty- two, so enthusiastic, in fact, that many of them bought their own foils and masks, and all are looking forward to next season. Due to the inexperience of the team as a whole, there were no competitive meets this year, but Coach Stevens expects to go into competition with some of the other schools in the metropolitan district next year. It is the Coach’s lament that there are insufficient funds to continue the classes beyond March, for he feels that he has some good talent in the squad. [317] No i“ Sia BIG PINS The second year Mechanicals again upheld the Mechanicals’ tradition of taking the big-pin title. The “boiler makers’? used practically the same team that took the crown last year, and they showed even better form. Captain “Hack’’ Ha- kanson and his teammates feel sure that next year will tell the same story, with the team of Cowan, Roddy, Kallman, Carlson, Pepper, Hakanson, and manager Nadeau bringing home the bacon to the S. T. The final and deciding game was played with the Architects, the winners of the senior division, but the Mechs, winners of the junior division, took the match, and thereby the championship. BASKETBALL Because the interclass basketball tournament is still being held as the Prattonia goes to press we must content ourselves with giving you the standing of the teams, and we'll let you pick your own winners. In the senior division the Artsmen and the Chemists III are scheduled for a playoff, and the winner of that game is to play the Chemists I and II who are the winners of the junior division. The Artists haven’t won the title since 1933, and the Chemicals won their last basketball championship in 1923, so the crown will go into new hands no matter who wins. Flash... The Artists won! [ 318 ] DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION FOR WOMEN Miss A. P. Gilbert Miss M. M. Barney Miss A. J. Brady With the changing interests of the women students, the Depart- ment for Women has modified its program from a fixed require- ment for all; now nearly one third of the women registered are taking elective activities. Last year the first Modern Dance Club began and was so enthusiastically supported that this year two sections have been working along that line. Tap Dancing con- tinues to attract a large number and only limitations of time and space kept these in one too large club. Class basketball interests a good average from each course but is also limited by oppor- tunity for all to play in free time. The Fencing Clubs have had the largest groups ever and will continue through the spring term. [319 | WOMEN’S FENCING CLUB WOMEN’S HOCKEY TEAM = Gene [ 320 ] Nil Do you mind tf I take a candid shot? Pratt scores . . . the ball went into the basket or maybe one of the cheerleaders slipped and fell on his . . . neck. Anyhow, someone is cheering something and it makes an atmosphere of rousing merri- ment and stuff. This was the eighteenth round of a twenty-seven round fight. The boys posed (for a candid shot) this way just to prove that they weren’t mad at each other. Everybody was very happy about this except the Prattonia Board, who are going to spend their summer vacation in a dark cold place, where they put people who don’t pay bills to publishers. The candid photographer was so candid that everyone stared directly at the camera. That’s what we like about candid shots, everyone looks so natural. The rest of the athletes are throwing it. This is what Pratt students do at 4:20 p. M. What they do at 4:20 A. M. is censored. The cannon in the park has made tradition, or tradition has made the cannon. We all know what has to happen in order to make it go off; so do the students in all these pictures. They are all seriously discussing the possibility of it going off. Rumor has it that one of the Floradora sextette made it backfire. What next? Art students in front of the Art school. There is a rumor that the Engineers are getting the jump by building bleachers in front of the H. S. A. No, not potential Mr. Hydes at work, but this is the Chem. lab., where evil smells, loud noises, and the Chemical Engineers come from. In the large picture are two diligent students about to mix nitroglycerine and gunpowder just for the fun of it and that’s just where they went. Engineers at work. Of course there is considerable debate as to just what work is. It is obvious, however, that they are true to their work and, perhaps, their work will be true to them. The H.S. A. has an attraction . . . its students; many of them Engineers. The homemakers have an untold attraction; and many a batter for a cake has been mixed with a batter from the Pratt nine. Here we have people and pictures of people; millions of people. People are funnier than anybody, we think. The Engineers at the top seem to be having a heated discussion on whether the bustle is coming back or not, and if it does, on what. Cellophane-wrapped bustles would be very attractive and so would a bustle- wrapped cellophane. Here is another picture to prove how hard the Art students work. In the top picture students can be seen buying Snappy Stories, etc. The life of a Pratt student is one of work. “Be true to your work and your work will be true to you,” does not state what your work should be . . . some choice of vocations!! For students thinking of coming to Pratt, it is obvious by these pictures that everyone thinks here. Thinking is one of our greatest sports . . . and so we get most of our exercise!!

Falcon, the School of Fine and Applied Arts lost one of the most promising of the recent members of the Faculty. She taught for only one year. She was graduated from Pratt in 1930. Talented, and with a delightful personality, she had made a real place for herself in the field of Advertising and Fashion Illustration. She brought to her students a fresh, prac- tical point of view, thereby making a very person al contribution. Her memory will be cherished by all who knew her.
