Pratt Institute - Prattonia Yearbook (Brooklyn, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 136 of the 1965 volume:

Sa a RE Pratt is at once a part of the world and a world in itself. Like a scale model of the way bigger places are run, with people in charge and people who work here and people who come to live here. Some of us are here to learn and some to teach. One group earns a living here; the other spends one. As far as most Pratt people are concerned the place is bounded by the athletic field at one end, Erik’s at the other, and Myrtle and DeKalb on the sides. Its depth is the PI Shop and it’s as high as the sky. In most cases Pratt Institute is four years long. en aoe -- oe POE reer v4 pp You are here for yourself. To see things. .- = Pratt is what experimental psychologists might call an open field test—a myriad multiple experience. More than just teachers and blackboard$ and labs and studios, the school exposes you to a good deal of the joys and the woes, the smarts and stupidities of the past and the present. Maybethings happen here you didn’t plan on or you didn’t expect, or you didn’t want. But because of the conflicts and unavoidable interaction youcan bea lot more of something by the time you leave. , Ae . ett Ln ie ins 7 r rc a, Pee, x ; ee 5 aah Toa, anh 8 ve ae si 1) VG AN Td rN yi li lin il Lill Elevator Operator Louis J.

In the morning when I come in I say: “Good morning, plaster. Be nice to me today? Now I put the powder into the water, and measure the water, fellas, folks. You don’t make too much plaster since it will overcome you. Now I wasn’t playing around with it, I was stirring it. I give it twenty minutes, or five minutes, or ten ...depending on the air temperature. DON'T SPILL ANY DROPS OF POWDER PLASTER ANYWHERE IN THE SHOP “ i a Once you start to play with plaster, respect it. If you get it on your fingers, it paralyzes your mind. Always keep one hand clean for emergencies. My plaster is well mixed. It’s got to come out good. It’s well mixed. ‘Oh, boss, I’m doing a class A job.’ The way I say how to make it refers to all kinds of what I mean molds. That is of yours and all. Once you’ve got the mold made you’ve got it made.” —Joe Campo a ee eee, SET eee er ME Rr RCE + ee NAS.

From the musical Virgil Thomson to the critical Alvin Kibel; from the materialism of Paul Sweezy to the idealism of Sidney Hook; from the America of Paul Goodman to the Russia and China of Edgar Snow. A knowledge of the twentieth century is a prerequisite to finding a meaningful relationship with one’s surroundings. g J g The program of visiting scholars serves this purpose by breaking the independence often found in universities; by providing an opportunity for involvement and association with the world outside.

Y. 11205 VCW Passes Away Death came quietly to col- umnist V.C.W. on Tuesday morning of this week. Under pressure from critics, and de- pressed by the failure to achieve its goals, the column, THERE GOES THE WEEK THAT WENT, has gone. The following was submitted for publication on this matter: During the past semester, you have all noticed and pos- sibly read a column entitled, THERE GOES THE WEEK THAT WENT. This column has been referred to as being childish, vulgar and insulting. The purpose of V.C.W. was to reflect the ridiculous im- age that the PRATT student body presents back into the eyes of the students them- selves. I, or rather V.C.W., had hoped that when the stu- dents saw themselves as they really were, they would mend their mode of conduct. Un- fortunately, nothing seems to upset this dead campus and the walking corpses which inhabit it, to any degree worth noting. The information utilized in the column was, and still is, available to anyone who could see a scant three inches beyond the tip of his nose. What little success the col- umn enjoyed (it did force John Heller to finally write something about Student Government) depended on the requirement that the au- thor remain anonymous. Be- cause my identity was on the verge of being discovered, I have decided to get out while the getting is good. Sincerely, V.C.W. The Prattler Editorial Board has refused comment on the matter. 1964—1965 the prattler is published by the students of Pratt Institute every week in the College Union Building, Ryerson Walk, Brooklyn, N.

The bartenders know your face and your money and they’ve seen you walk through this door many times late at night and even in afternoons. You get twenty feet in and you see there’s no one you know here. The place is inhabited by freshmen or something and you don’t know them and probably you don’t want to very much. It’s the same here now as in the PI Shop all the time lately— you can’t be sure whether you’ve outgrown the damn thing or you’ve been kicked out of it. You’re above it, or you’ve fallen down under. The places, some of them, they aren’t yours anymore. Something you used to like about these places. All the happy times and faces. Plenty you have learned here, and spent drunken hours singing and laughing and talking loud dizzy drunken words pouring out here some of the greatest things you ever said and heard. And in that PI Shop maybe knew friendliness of faces and calm talk. So Erik’s is the alcoholic PI Shop. But the PI Shop course ends with the realization that it’s all over. While things’ve been good here and for all you found out here you have to move on for the rest. The learn-while-you-laugh and drunken Erik’s talk thing is over, and soon so will be the irresponsibility of being a kid. And it ends with either a bang or a whimper.

Your time here shows you the opposites that make a middle way possible. And Pratt is Pratt because of what isn’t here as well as what is. For all it has, it lacks a lot. And the last lesson a school can teach you is its own limitations. Because Pratt doesn’t have everything you want you have to look elsewhere, and looking elsewhere will be growing more. a er ee edited and designed by Lowell Bodger photographed mainly by Leonard Soned assistant art director: Beau Gardner assistant assistant art director: Richard Erlanger business manager: Ken Alexander faculty advisor : Kenneth G.
