It is then that the book will have its test. Then, if we have done our work well, its perusal will bring back pleasant memories of the names and faces, the incidents and scenes which arc so much a part of our life to-day. We have striven that these pages may reflect, not only the scenes and faces of our school life, hut the very spirit and atmos- phere of Tech. We offer no apology for the result of our work, nor do we ask for mercy in its criticism.—we have done our best. Just how far wc have fallen short of the standard for which wc have striven, time alone can tell. K. L 15. Twenty-two years ago this Fall the doors of the Technical High School were opened to its first class. 'The new three-story build- ing provided ample room for the students and a faculty of eight teachers was found quite sufficient to carry on the work of the school. Hut growth began at once and more stu- dents came to Technical each year, until at last the serious problem of inadequate quar- ters had to lx faced. 'This was met in 1906. by beginning extensive additions to the build- ing which more than doubled its size and eliminated the question of larger accommo- dations for a time. Growth, however, did not cease but rather became more rapid, and be- fore many years had passed congestion again began to make itself felt. As this difficulty grew, it became necessary to find elsewhere accommodations for a part of the students and several rooms in the Classical High School building were pressed into service. Later the Klmwood Avenue Primary School was va- cated to provide a place for the entering girls’ classes, and at the opening of this last term, the six-room building of the Pond Street Pri- mary School was turned into an annex for 115 boys, so that to-day the Technical High School occupies three entire buildings. Of course the size of the faculty has grown with the increased number of students until at present it includes sixty-four instructors. The Technical High School has become the largest educational institution in Rhode Island. The growth of Technical has not been con- fined to numbers, however. The list of sub- jects taught has been lengthened since the old days, and from the old course of study have grown the three definite courses offered by the school to-day. Of these courses the first leads to a higher institution, the second places spe- cial emphasis on the technical work, while in the third shop work and academic work are more nearly balanced. So it becomes evident that the Technical of twenty-two years ago. with its small building and faculty, has grown into the larger and more useful Technical with which wc are familiar and which has become an indispensable part of the educa- tional system of Providence. C. M. I). TECH REVIEW 11 ESTHER LOUISE ANDERSON Esther has been with us for four happy years. She is a jolly, good-natured girl, always ready for a joke and a laugh. Altho, apparently, she spends little time in study, her reports always show good marks. That she has business ability, was proved by her good work as assist- ant treasurer of our class in its second year. Her plans for the future are undetermined, but we wish her luck in whatever she decides to do. HAROLD KNUT ANDERSON Harold, a member of the vocational class, is always ready with a reasonable answer to every reasonable question. He shines in the drawing room and is employed by the Brown and Sharpe Mfg. Co. in their drafting depart- ment. but all his studies receive proper attention. He is a member of the Social Committee and is present at all the socials and dances. We do not know where he will continue his education after he leaves Lech. MILTON COL RELAND ARNOLD Arnold, alias “Shrimp,” has saved the class many a dreary moment by his wonderful ability to invent a practical joke while you wait. After one year of faithful work on the cross country team, he received a “T”, and a prouder wearer of the coveted letter can hardly be found. His strong point is chemistry where he concocts solutions and compounds that make the fifth floor look like a foggy morning in London. “Shrimp expects to go to Brown in the fall. IRENE HORTENSE BARQUES'!' Irene is that light complexioncd girl who always has a smile for everyone. She is a good scholar, but ready for a good time. When a merry laugh is heard, everyone knows that Irene is not far away. After leaving Tech, she expects to enter a business college. We know that her perseverance and good nature will make her a suc- cessful business woman. 12 T E C H R E V I E W BERTHA MAY BARTON Eis seldom that you sir Bertha without a smile wreath- ing her countenance, and she always has a funny story to tell «f some happening in class. Bertha has not taken a very active part in class affairs, yet she is always a good “sport'' when anything is in progress. Millinery, begun in 'lech, will Bertha study and practice after she leaves us. Here Bertha, are our heartiest good wishes, and may you set the stiles for headgear! RAYMOND SENE IT RE BEXARD Ray is a charter member of the vocational class. His witty remarks cause many a ripple of laughter. Sam Colwell and he are boon friends and are usually found together. When Ray is serious, he shows much intelli- gence in class work. He has earned a good reputation at the Rhode Island Tool Company, where he is serving his apprenticeship, lie expects to enter Pennsylvania State College next fall. ALICE EMMA BERNIER Alice is one of the “Heavenly Twins;” Regina is the other. Alice was our class treasurer during our Senior year, and the treasury was never so full as then. Studies never troubled Alice much; in fact, it was not until the last half of our senior year that study periods were ap- preciated by her. During the previous year Alice might be seen at such periods quite absorbed in a new novel. After leaving us in January. Alice went to a Parochial School in New Bedford, where she is to study French and Music, and to teach English. We may be sure that Mademoiselle Bernier, the teacher, will be much adored by her pupils, and Alice, the student, cannot fail to bring enjoyment to her fellow students if she but entertains them with an account of her life at Technical. SIDNEY BRIGGS BLAISDELL That tall, good-hearted fellow with eye glasses is “Sid. A staunch member of the class, he has plugged consist- ently thruout the entire course. His reports show that “Sid does fine work in the machine shop ami even where else. He likes sports and has worked faithfully in both cross country and track tryouts. And S. B. comes in for his share of the fun. too. If there is any unusual com- motion in the photographic laboratory, “Sid is there. His corridor companion is Herb, and they are continual- ly seen together. Sidney enters M. I. T. in September. T E C H R E V I E W 13 FLORENCE ELLERY BRAMAN Florence came to l ech after one and one-half years at Hope. She is little, jolly and energetic, and is well known in the school. She made an excellent witch in the scene from Macbeth which was given at our Hollowe’en Social. Her persistence in her studies has steadily won her good marks. After leaving Tech Florence has de- cided to elope—so she says. MARY RKOINA BRENNAN Regina has been with us during the four years and has served us well on the Social Committee. She can lx seen almost any morning with her twin Alice, as she enters the Pond Street door at one minute of nine, laden with various mysterious looking bags and boxes, and occasion- ally carrying a school book. Regina is a jolly girl and is the means of bringing much fun into the class, fun which sometimes gets her into trouble. When asked what she intends to do in the future, she replies. “I’m going to let the future take care of itself.’’ RAYMOND ELMER BRITTON Britton firmly believes that little children should be seen and not heard. Sometimes he carries it to the extreme of raking a nap in class. Me excels in machine work, and in this department he is deemed an authority. After leaving Tech he will probably become an expert mechanic. DAVID B ROM SON D. B. entered Tech from Doyle in 1011. He has worked hard and succeeded in completing the course in three and one-half years. He ranks well in all his studies; his favorites are German and trigonometry. He is the twin brother of Norman. They look as much alike as two peas in a pod. and many are the laughs that we have when the teachers get them mixed up. It is a rare thing to see either alone. David, with his twin Norman, goes to every game to cheer for the Red and Gray. He in tends to enter Brown in the fall. 14 T E C H R E V I E W NORMANBROMSON N. B. entered Tech from Doyle in 1911. He has worked hard and succeeded in completing the course in three and one-half years. He ranks well in all his studies; his favorites are French and Declamation. He is the twin brother of David. They look as much alike as two peas in a pod. and many are the laughs that we have when the teachers get them mixed up. It is a rare thing to see either alone. Norman, with his twin David, goes to every game to cheer for the Red and Gray. Me intends to enter Brown in the Fall. EDITH BERNICE BURCH Edie. for short, earnest and painstaking, joined us in our second year. She can appreciate a joke, and she can crack one, too. But her studies, of which German is a favorite, do not suffer from the fun. Edith expects to enter some business college in the fall. She has the qual- ities required for a successful business woman. KENNETH LIVINGSTON BUR DON Kenneth, or “Burdie” as he likes to be called, is one of the more earnest fellows of the class. Studying comes nat- ural to him and there has never been a subject in which he has not been among the leaders. He has been with us for four years, always ready to laugh at a good joke, but never boisterous. Ever since the class was organized he has been prominent in social and class affairs and has served as chairman of the Social Committee for two years. “Burdie” will matriculate at Brown in September, but has not yet determined upon his life work. May success ever attend him! DOROTHY LOUISE BURNHAM “Dot” is a quiet little girl, oh so quiet, yet she always has a smile for everyone. She came to us from Hope Street High at the end of her sophomore year. All studies look alike to “Dot”; good work in all with no favorite is “Dot’s” way. Monday mornings find her, without fail, in the assembly hall, for she loves music and hopes to study it after her days at Tech are over. And “Dot’s” sweet clear voice is well worthy of culti- vation. Sing us a song now and then, Dorothy, like the Lady in Comus, to let us know of your whereabouts. T E C H REVIE VV 15 RAYMOND HOLBROOK BURTON Ray is liked by both girls and boys. As a student, he lias never exerted himself, but he possesses enough ability to rank with the best. He was a star player of the toot- ball team for two years, and was chosen on the All In- terscholastic Eleven last fall as end. He is a member of “White Man’s Gang” and is to be depended upon when- ever anyone starts something. Ray intends to enter upon a business career next year, and he is well fitted for it because of his diplomatic ways and pleasing man- ners. Here’s wishing you success and prosperity in the coming years. HERBERT BUTTERFIELD Here you look upon the countenance of Herb Butterfield, th? stock-room magnate. He always receives good marks in his studies, of which German and Printing are his favorites. He is fond of athletics and we expect to see him playing on Tech’s 1914 baseball team. If Herb does not change his mind and become an orator, he will enroll in the Civil Engineering Course at Brown next fall. RUTH CAMPBELL fRuth (there are some who call her “Rufus”) is a busy girl. She has served the teachers well by printing exams for them and has often printed the statements of the athletic collections. Ruth has taken a Saturday morning course at the Rhode Island School of Design and is one of the Art Editors of this Review. She is a staunch supporter of baseball and football teams and is always seen at the games. The busy people are the happy ones, and the happy people attract friends. Ruth’s cheery, sincere, helpful disposition has won for her the affections of both teachers and pupils. When she leaves Tech she will take courses both at Pembroke and at the School of Design. We all wish her success! GEORGE ALFRED CHANDLER “Gcorgic” has been with us for four long years. Altho not the most brilliant of our academic lights, he has shown speed on the cross-country team. George has the happy quality of stick-to-it-iveness as he has demonstrated by his track record. His first T” was won in the high hurdles at the Brown meet in the spring of 1915. George’s schooling w ill end w ith his graduation at Tech, but he will continue his education in the Uni- versity of Life. 16 TECH REVIEW HOWARD EARL CHERRY Howard has been a student at Tech for four and a half years, having entered in January, 1010. After complet- ing two years of the regular course he decided to join the vocational class and signed a contract with the Rhode Island Tool Company. He has said that his highest marks are in those studies which require the least work. English is his favorite academic subject. Cherry is greatl) interested in railroads (Don’t fail to read “The Danger Signal” in this book) and as soon as he finishes his apprenticeship he intends to enter the service of some rail road corporation. JACOB COHEN Jacob was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and came to this country six years ago. First he went to night school and it was not long before he could speak the English language. Then Jacob came to Tech and will finish in three years what most of us find not easy to finish in four. During these six years he has supported himself. Jacob is never seen at socials, games, or class meetings, and hence is not known to many of us. He will probably enter Brown next fall. LYDIA PAINE COLLAMORE There were ninety odd girls in our class when we entered in January, 1910. but to-day we may boast of but six of the original number. In reviewing this list of survivors, we find the name of our friend Lydia Collamore. More than once has Lydia caused us to become alarmed by her vigorously expressed determination to leave school, but before anything serious has happened, we have seen her working again with an ambition delightful to behold. Just what will become of our Lydia after leaving us. even she is not as yet certain. SAMUEL GREENE COLWELL Did you ever hear a shuffling noise in 3-12 at about 9:50. just before Mr. Cushman returns from Classical? Well, that was Sammy with his partner “Rav” Benard giving a practical demonstration of the latest tango for the bene- fit of the 1 A vocational class. Altho an authority on all dances, Sammy has not entirely neglected his studies and has worked well at Beaman and Smith’s, where he is serving his apprenticeship. We all wish Sammy the best of success at Rhode Island State College, where he intends to study mechanical engineering. T E C H REVIE VV 17 PAUL WILLIAM COOK Altho “Doc” had completed two years of the regular course before he joined the vocational division, he has never been sorry that he made the change. He began his apprenticeship at the Providence Engineering Works, hut in spite of. rather than because of his presence, the firm failed and “Doc” was out of a job. He then signed a contract with the Manville Co. in Gcorgiaville. his home town, where he successfully completed his “time last February. Paul is industrious in school; his only difficulty is in drawing, in which he has had a succession of accidents in which red ink played an important part. Paul has not decided what he will do in the future but thinks he would like to be a civil engineer. Success be yours. Paul! EARL THOMPSON COX Cox, on account of his retiring disposition, is for most of us. the unknown quantity of our class. He came to 'lech from Doyle Avenue Grammar School in 1010. Studies go fairly well with him as his marks show. Cox is at his best in Drawing and Mathematics, altho he is much interested in Electricity. Electrical engineering, no doubt, will be his work after leaving Tech. SARAH ELIZABETH COYNE Sarah is one of our jolly girls, always ready for a good laugh. To look at Sarah’s picture one would think that she was quiet, but appearances are often deceiving. She delights in making friendly calls on the teachers after school. Fun does not get in the way of Sarah’s studies, as she ranks high in all of them. She expects to enter Kingston College in the fall. GLADYS MILDRED CROCKER Ever since our first year has Gladys been with us, help- ing us to forget our small troubles with her merry laugh and winning ways. Gladys, Esther, and Sarah are fast friends and are seldom seen apart. Studying has never troubled Gladys. Her special occupation is making chapeaux for the ladies of the faculty, creations which arc very much appreciated by the said ladies. We do not know what Gladys expects to do, but we think the busi- ness world will welcome her gladly. 18 T E C H R K V7 I K W WILLIAM LAWTON CROSS Tho our huge representative from Barrington has been in the school but two years, he is well known to the majority of the class, for when one wants Bob lie simply picks out the head that’s farthest from the floor. A wise little bird tells us that Bob is some farmer, raising strawberries, milk, chickens, and cats in great abundance, the latter being named after certain famous Romans. As we hear little of his school work, we judge that he does well enough to escape notoriety. We know he will succeed in the terrible struggle for daily bread, for if Bob doesn’t get what he wants, he’s big enough to take it. JOHN WILLIAM CRUICKSHANK Words fail to express the full extent of John’s pranks. How a fellow can rank so high in his studies and at the same time keep his position in the department of non- sense, is a mystery to us. John has a wonderful vocab- ulary of slang and the mention of the word German is sure to cause an overflow. Mathematics and Chemistry are his favorite subjects. Young ladies are continually attracted by John’s pleasing appearance and usually win a favorable reception. After leaving l ech he is going to Brown, where he w ill doubtless excel in Mathematics. ------ _ RUTH HORTENSE DANE Ruth’s interests are many and varied. She is student no the Social Com- mittee and greath cnjo s and promotes the social life ot on hasket- hall team, and is the team’s manager; she was one of the speakers at our Lincoln Day celebration and took the ingenue part in the alumni play; and she is one of the editors of the Review. But the busy life does not pre- elude courtesy, for Ruth always has a pleasant greeting for her friends—and many are those friends. Normal School will claim her next September. Let the light of Tech shine, Ruth! LLOYD; WARREN DAVIS Lloyd is one of those quieter fellows in whom you find, when once you know them, hidden depths of fun and mis- chief. He has J ccn a notable addition to our orchestra for two years and is sure to be sorely missed. Lloyd does well in all his classes, but especially well in mechanical drawing, and will undoubtedly keep up his good work after leaving Tech. T E C H R E V I E W 19 CHESTER MILLER DOWNING Chester has been a loyal supporter of the class since it was organized in 1912. He served the class as its presi- dent until the fourth year, when he was elected to the position of Editor-in-Chief of this book. During the four years Chester has been with us. he has, on account of his serious attitude and sober expression of face, re- ceived such names as “Deacon and “Reverend;” never- theless he is well liked by all. Downing has always taken care of his studies and has made a fine record. He in- tends to enter Brown next fall. The class heartily wishes him success. EDWARD JOHN DREW Here you behold Mariani’s sidepartner, a marvel for quietness, industry, and steadfastness. Four long profit- able years has he been with us, ever working, ever try- ing. He’s a firm believer in the rule of not speaking un- less spoken to. and this accounts for more people not knowing him. However. E. J. lost much of his bash- fulness by getting in one of Miss Williston’s German classes, where there was a majority of girls, whose “nods and becks and wreathed smiles” soon removed his diffi- dence. His horoscope shows a bright and happy, but rather indefinite future. WILLIAM JONES HOPPIN DYER Stop, look, and hearken, all ye unsophisticated students and bewildered Freshmen. This is William Jones Hoppin Dyer, who stalks about these halls of learning. Bill is a good “fusscr, and somewhat of an athlete in that he has bren an enthusiastic member of the Tech hockey teams of 1910. 1911, 1912, and 1912. The 1912 hockey team elected him their captain. Dyer, too, is an excellent tennis player and joined this year’s tennis team. As a student he manages to keep up the pace, and no doubt he will arrive at some desired goal. RAYMOND EMANUEL ERICKSON “R. E.” is remarkable for the simple reason that there is nothing remarkable about him at all. But that bril- liance is not necessary to success is proved by his high record, and his excellent reputation among teachers and classmates as a faithful and conscientious student. He has followed the even tenor of his way, not only in the Glee Club, but thruout the entire four-year course, at- tending our class meetings and our socials with regular- ity and consistency. Raymond has decided against a col- lege course, but is not sure what position he will hold in the big Game of Life. Whatever his choice may be, our best wishes cheer him toward the goal that he will surely reach. 20 TECH REVIEW RAYMOND STEVENS FAR WELL Ray came to use from Academy Avenue in February, 1010. He is a popular fellow and won the praise of the class by his good work as a leader in socials and athletics. He was our class treasurer, president of the Glee Club, and manager of our football team. Every Friday before a football game, Ray was hard at work in the field get- ting things ready for the contest. He was rewarded at the end of the football season by a “'I'.” We do not know what he intends to do after leaving Tech. JAMES EDWARD FITZMAURICE “Fitzie” is another of our class who, having discovered that he had made a mistake in choosing a school, came from Classical to join us in his Freshman year. His will- ing. helping hand, together with his imperturbable spirit, has made for him innumerable friends, among both the boys and girls. In his Junior year he served us well as class treasurer. Thru his untiring efforts the Rifle Club was formed and “Fitzie had the honor to be its first president. He was assistant manager of our class cham- pionship track team in 1913 and assistant manager of Tech Review. He will go to Worcester Polytech. LAWRENCE GEORGE FLICK Rotund, jolly, and good-natured, Larry has endeared himself to everyone by his ability to promulgate or to endure any kind of a joke. Paired with Johnny Cruickshank. L. G. Flick can raise the worst (or best) roughhouse of anyone we know. He has. not- withstanding, always done his lessons well, and when he goes dem Vatcrland to become a textile expert—as he will do soon after school closes—he will carry with him the best wishes and the affection of the whole school, from the principal to the janitors. GEORGE FLECK George is that tall, good-natured fellow who is constant- ly talking with the girls. He is generally found with his particular friend “Harpie,” but he is a friend of all. Altho much of George’s time is taken in work outside of school, he gets his lessons and also has time to come to the socials. Fleck’s ambition is to go to Columbia College. May he reach the goal. T E C H R E V I E W 21 CHARLES MORTIMER FORT Charlie is one of those fellows who have brought to Tech its excellent reputation for producing gentlemen athletes. C. Mortimer has gained the very enviable and very rare privilege of being able to wear a princi- pal’s medal, which means that he has obtained his diploma and has won three or more T’s in athletics. Running is his main delight, and in that sport he is at his best. He was captain of the 1913 cross-country team, is an Athletic Editor of the Review, and in his junior year was elected president of his class. He goes to Brown, and need we express our ven best wishes of success ? ELIZABETH AUGUSTA FOSTER Here is Elizabeth, or rather Beth, for that is really the name we know her by. She has been with us since her freshman year and has met every trial and tribu- lation of high school with cheerfulness, and now in her senior year she is rewarded b being chosen to serve on the Review Board. We are not intimately acquainted with her. for her chums are underclassmen. She is. however, loyal to her own class. It is not definitely known where Beth will go after her farewell to dear old “Tech.” hut here are our good wishes for her suc- cess and happiness in life. WILLIAM HARVEY GHODEY “Bill Ghodey set out from his home early one bright September morning four years ago and proceeded to our noble institution, where he promptly affiliated him- self with the brilliant class of 1914. which was just en- rolling. and sajs that he has never regretted casting in his lot with us. He joined the Glee Club some three ears ago. He has proved himself a loyal classmate and has held many positions of responsibility and honor. A continuation of his earnest and careful work after Ik- enters Brown in September will undoubtedly win success. LOUIS GO DAT When Godat joined us in the early days of our class, Webster Avenue Grammar School lost a good student and Technical gained one. Godat’s favorite subject is Mathematics and he usually can be counted on to have the right answer to a problem, regardless of the time required to solve it. During our junior year he served the class efficiently as treasurer. He has proved that in spite of his quiet manner he can enjoy a good time as much as any of us. The question as to college or business is one which Godat has not yet answered, but in either we feel sure that his perseverance will win success. TECH REVIEW ? ISRAEL GOLDSTEIN I . .ic, as his friends call him, distinguished by his hearty laugh and infectious smile, is one of the funny men of the class. His good nature has won him many friends during his four-year course at 'lech. He does not star in any special study, but works hard in all sub- jects. ‘‘I . .ic” served faithfully as captain of the sec- ond baseball team in 1913 and this year hopes to win his 1 . His aim in life is to become a civil engineer, and with that in mind he will enter Kingston in the fall, carrying with him the good wishes of his class- mates. JULIUS HARWELL GORTON Julius is another of the vocational boys. He has been with us four years and during that time has made many friends, both in school and in the shop. He is a quiet fellow, who always manages to get his lessons. His favorite studies are English and Chemistry. Julius expects to enter Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and may he meet with the success he well deserves. HAROLD THORNTON HARGRAVES The next specimen is of the genius Hargraves, order Harold T. “H. T. is a nice boy, and a well-known member of the class, as well as a well-liked one. Har- old is one of the best speakers in the school, and lie has often regaled us in the hall with humorous anec- dotes. During the palmy days of the Debating Society, he was at various times its vice-presi- dent. secretary, and treasurer, and was a member of that famous team which debated English High Febru- ary 27. 1913. He also has athletic ability, and has for two years been on the second football team. Harold will be another good man sent by the Providence Tech to Worcester Poly tech. RALPH ELDON HARRINGTON Harry is undoubtedly one of the most popular fel- lows in the class.—with the girls, too, as well as with the boys. By way of pr � of. we may say that he is our Senior class president and a “personal editor on the ‘‘Review Board. He does not shine in any particular study, but does well in all. and we always hear good reports from the shops. Rhode Island State College will claim him next fall. Our best wishes accompany him. TECH REVIEW 2.1 CHRISTINE ELIZABETH HASSELL Quiet and studious is Christine. Her scholarship lias been such that she has earned the praises of her in- structors. She spent one year at Hope before coming to our school. Christine hopes to prepare for library work after leaving Tech, and some day we may see her as librarian in our own Public Library. May she suc- ceed in her work! JOHN HENRY HENNESSEY “(Jang.” the “shrimp” of the class, is full of mischief. Whenever tricks are played on anyone, suspicion points to Jack. Though our socials have been seldom graced by his presence, though many have been the victims of his fun. yet he is popular with the boys, who send their good wishes to attend him as he leaves Tech. DOROTHY FRANCIS HATHAWAY “Dot” came to us from Cranston High, where she had studied for two years. She became popular at once on account of her winsome smile and pleasing disposition, popular not only with pupils, but also with teachers. Dorothy was elected captain of the senior basketball team because of her enthusiasm for the game, and although she is a very small girl, she is always able to keep her place against any opponent. Dot has chosen nursing as her future work. ROBERT EDWARD HAY Bob has been with the class since it started four years ago. and has plugged along, without making much noise, for his diploma. Hay is a prominent and well- known member of our orchestra, and is an excellent violin player. In his second and third years he was a member of the Debating Society, but as in his last year he had not the time to give to it. he resigned. It is not known what kind of work Hay will take up, but if he follows a musical career we are sure it will be successful. 24 T E C H REVIE W KMILY ELEANOR HIBBARD Tho one of the quiet girls of the class, Emily is jolly enough when with her best friends. She attends every class meeting and takes great interest in all class affairs. Wise in her choice of schools, she came to Tech directi) from Webster Avenue. She intends to enter Normal School to prepare for kindergarten teaching. MASON COLE HILL Percy” has been with us four ears. He is the little fellow who gets the big marks. He has shown re- markable ability both in French and in Mathematics, and has obtained, too, many good marks in the other studies. Owing to his quiet disposition his presence is sometimes unobserved. He is not an athlete, yet he is seen at almost all the games and he is an ardent sup- porter of the (Jlee Club. He intends to enter the en- gineering course at Brown University next fall. Best wishes. “Percy.” PERRY HOPKINS Pern is prominent in our class, being one of the few members of the vocational course who have played on the football team. He has won two T’s. His lin- guistic ability has been so developed by frequent use that it is often the source of much amusement to his classmates. Perry expects to take up mechanical en- gineering at some higher institution. At present he is employed h the Langelier Manufacturing Company. GEORGE CLIFTON HULL One of our twins; the other is “Cupid” Smith. Every- body knows Kick—and likes him, even if he does come from East Providence. Four long, faithful years this small piece of human frailty has been among us. and he has succeeded in outstripping most, if not all of us. in studies. He has earned, too, the position of assist- ant business manager on the Review Board. George decided to put on long panties this spring, and now hr struts about as “manfully as any.” as the East Provi- dence Intelligencer might say. He gcx s to Brown. TE CH REVIEW 25 HARRY KARL JOHNSON Harry is the giant of the vocational class and enjoys this distinction very much. He works very faithfully at The General Fire Extinguisher Company every other week, where he is learning the pattern maker’s trade. Harry is also a faithful worker at school and is always ready for any kind of fun,—when his lessons are done. He expects to go to Brown. HAROLD HOBSON KELLY “H. H.” took his departure as well as his diploma in February, after four years of our company. Tho no athletic records have been made, a most excellent record of class work stands to his credit. In the third year of Ins course the Debating Society was honored by his membership. “H. H.” was also vice-president of the class during the first part of his senior year. Altho Harold’s photograph may appear dignified, yet he is one of the jolliest fellows of the class and has been present at all its social functions. Rhode Island State College will receive a good fellow when it admits Harold in September. EDWARD ROSCOE KENT Kent has maintained his quiet bearing throughout his four years with us. But Kent's quietness is not that of indifference; on the contrary, he has the rare quality of persistence that has carried him successfully over many an obstacle which has caused others to fail. His plans for the future are not complete, but he carries our best wishes with him as he leaves Technical. ELINOR MONICA KIELY Being a staunch upholder of athletic rights and privi- leges for girls, Elinor is prominent in the girls' basket- ball team, where she plays forward, and plays it well. She left North Adams to join our class during our sec- ond year and has become well known and well liked in the school. Who can help liking such a merry, witty girl as Elinor? It is well she is a bright student, for her program has been complicated, resembling a Chinese puzzle. When she has received her diploma from Tech business college will claim her attention. 26 T E C H R E V I E W EDITH BECK FOR I) KINGMAN Edith s picture (Edith is known to her friends as Becky) utterly fails to show her mischief-loving spirit, tor she is the fun leader of our class. Despite this, she is a conscientious student, always ranks well in her studies, and is well liked by both students and teachers. Becky’s inability to say what she means is proverbial. As her talent seems to lie in Domestic Science, Edith hopes to take up this subject as a profession after com- pleting the course at Wheaton Seminary. We know that she would make an excellent teacher, efficient in her work and beloved by her pupils. EARLE STUART LADD Laddie discovered his mistake, left Classical and came to Tech in his freshman year. His strong personality and high spirit have won him a host of friends among his classmates and teachers. Laddie won his “T” as manager of the championship football team of 1912. Socially he has always been the foremost fellow in the class. In our junior year he was class treasurer and in both junior and senior years class president. The class, having discovered Laddie’s ability, elected him as a member of the 'Eecii Review Board and the Board elected him business manager of the Review. He helped to organize the Rifle Club and served as its first treasurer. He will enter the University of Michigan. LORETTA MARY LANCTO lx retta started in at Classical, but after spending two years there, she decided to come to Tech. She formed such an intimate friendship with our twins, Alice and Regina, that we feared the rcsidt might be triplets. D rctta is fond of socials and parties, and is always on hand at our class meetings. She was a member of our Social Committee in our junior year, and served as class secretary in our senior year. Loretta is not as enthu- siastic over her studies as you might infer from her re- port, on which are few marks less than “honor. We , cannot help feeling that she ought to add to her laurels in some higher institution of learning. DANIEL WEBSTER LATHAM Dan comes from Smithfield. For two years he at- tended English High. Then the value of the Techni- cal work of the school made its appeal to him and across the street he came. He especially delights in the problems of the machine shop. Of the academic studies he ranks highest in Mathematics. After grad- uation he win devote his time to agriculture on his father’s broad acres. TECH REVIEW 27 HOWARD ALEXANDER MACRAE Wc all know “Mac.” He is very active socially, never missing a social, and seldom a class meeting. He was a member of the football team for two years, president of his class in his junior year, leader of the orchestra in his senior year, manager of the 1914 track team, and a member of the Glee Club for four years. Howard is to spend the next four years of his life at Cornell Uni- versity, studying horticulture. He then intends to go into business with his father. CHESTER WILLIAM MALENFANT Chet is a quiet chap, seldom speaking unless spoken to. but once in a while he utters a few pertinent words in class that immediately cause a roar of laughter, (iirls do not seem to interest Malenfant very much, but the fellows all know and like him. He hasn’t told us what he’s going to do after leaving school, but we suspect that September will find him enrolled at Kingston or at Brown. VALENTINE HENRY MARIANI “Mariooche minds his own business, and minds it well. During his four years’ course at Tech he has faithfully performed every task allotted him, and has made him- self popular with the fellows, if not with the girls. Mariani can raise “some” roughhouse, too, when he once gets started, and his laugh is a familiar sound to us all. If you’re searching for unknown and evil-look- ing precipitates, here’s your man. Valli says he’s go- ing to be an engineer (mechanical, not locomotive), and wc wish him all kinds of luck at Kingston, where he will matriculate. HOWARD AUGUSTUS MATHEWSON There is no steadier fellow in the class than Howard. His record for punctuality and attendance would be hard to beat. He has not been one of those “many worthy fellows that were out” for athletic honors, but has been content to take his exercise on his motorcycle. How he does scorch! He has been a good comrade for all these years. “We love him highly and shall continue our graces towards him.” 28 TECH R E V I KYV CHESTER HARRISON MEDBERY Chet Medbery and Hargraves are friends, tried and true. Both arc wireless enthusiasts and it is not un- usual to overhear them in the locker-room chatting about high-tension close core transformers, non-induc- tive potentiometers and the like. Medbery is of ath- letic renown as well and has starred in the running, broad, and high jumps, and has earned several T’s. He is undecided as to whether he will go to college or not. ARTHUR HENRY MEYER Dutch has been with us the whole four years, and has faithfully performed the tasks allotted to him. The girls of the class have had no interest for this small piece of humanity, and he has kept on his way undis- turbed by them. The fellows all know Dutch.” and he is popular with his own “bunch.” We don’t know just what occupation will claim Meyer upon his grad- uation. but he carries with him our best wishes of suc- cess. ELIZABETH MIDDLE EON Mabel ganized in our sophomore ear. Her witty remarks, given in an undertone, have caused her to be called flippant.” but her records, because of the absence of 7- F’s and the abundance of C’s and H’s. proves her to • be far otherwise. During her senior year Mabel has ? decided in favor of a college course, and now expects to go to Pembroke in September, where C’s and H's will turn into B's and A’s. THOMAS EDWARD MUDDIMAN T. E.” is a factor in the scientific management sys- tem in use at the N. E. Butt Company. His knowl- edge of motion study, a part of this system, enables him to eliminate many unnecessary movements in his daily life. He stands the highest in his class,—being six feet one inch in his stocking feet. Although he shows great interest in the moving picture industry, he expects to pursue the course in civil engineering at the State College, and, judging from his record at Tech, he will be successful. TEC H RE VI EW 29 WALTER JOSEPH MURPHY There is no doubt in our minds but that if Walter ar- rived earlier in school and stayed later we might have the pleasure of becoming better acquainted with him. However, be is a staunch supporter of the class, and although he has never attended the class meetings, his dues are a silent acknowledgment of his loyalty. He is a good student and his teachers appreciate this fact. Some college will receive in him a splendid student and a good fellow. EUGENE THOMAS O'NEILL Gene entered Tech three years ago. His apprentice- ship has been spent at the Builders’ Iron Foundry, where he solved the problems of lathe and planer. His work, both in shop and in school, is of a high grade. In the absence of our learned faculty, O'Neill, with the assistance of Muddiman, gives demonstrations of the latest steps in dancing. He will continue to work at the foundry for some time after graduation; his plans for the future go no further at present. RAYMOND HENRY PARKER Raymond, or “Fat, entered four years ago from Can dace Street Grammar School. He has no special diffi culty with his studies, and with his never-failing good nature is a sure cure for the blues. Raymond is trying hard for an appointment at West Point, which we all hope he will get. If he fails to get the appointment, he will enter Brown in the fall. FRANCIS ROBERTS PARSONS Bob. or the “Duke,” made his debut at Classical four years ago. Thence he came to Tech and has labored industriously for the last half year preparing for col- lege. A courteous manner and a quiet bearing (yes. it's quiet, notwithstanding those ties), are characteristic of the “Duke.” Bob stands well in his studies and will find no difficulty in entering Brown in the fall. After a year at the university he will go to M. I. T. 30 T E CM R E V I E W ATTILIO RALPH PASCUCCl Attilio is another four-year standby. With his pleas- ant. smiling face, he goes from one class to another, greeting friends here and there on the way. In class work, “Pass” is right up to the mark, since his studies never fail to receive proper attention. Attilio expects to become a business man. He has done well in school; he will do well in business. HERBERT GUSTAVE PEARSON Herbert is a vocationalite. He has been a student at Tech for four years. His stumbling block is draw- ing. but he will remove it from his path in time. When he graduates in June, he intends to enter Massachu- setts Institute of Technology. BENJAMIN PLINER “Bennie” is one of the little fellows of the vocational division. He is a good-natured chap and always ready to take a joke. He started his apprenticeship at the E. C. Bliss Manufacturing Company, but owing to its bankruptcy he is now working at the R. I. 'Pool Com- pany. “Bennie” seldom comes to school without hav- ing his lessons done and always manages to get by. Altho he has a good knowledge of his trade, Ik will not follow it. but intends to go to Kingston, where he will take the engineering course. SAMUEL PRESEL Sammy is a well-known figure to the senior class, and all who know him find him an excellent fellow and an agreeable companion. Sam is a little bit of an ath- lete, for he played on the sophomore baseball team. He is also “some” tenor, but he could not be persuaded to join the Glee Club until this year, and he at once be- came the “class” of the club. This Titian-haired youth intends to enter Brown in the fall, where he no doubt will make the campus resound with his mellow voice. TECH REVIEW 31 THOMAS NELIGAN REDFERN You’ve noticed Tom in the orchestra. For four years he has been there, sawing away on his fiddle every Mon- day morning. The orchestra is the only place where he is seen without his friend and adviser, A1 White. In class affairs Tom has mixed but little, though he has taken in the good times as they came along. A course in civil engineering in some higher institution will prob- ably be his next work after leaving Tech. WILBUR LAMPHREY RICE 'Bill came to Tech in our junior year. Since his ar- rival many are the friends that have been attracted by his genial disposition and many arc the rides these friends have had in his auto. ' Bili” took a course at Bryant and Stratton Business College during the last half of his senior year, and next fall he will enter Brown I niversity and pursue a course in Chemistry in order to improve that famous paint which bears his name. ETHEL MAY RICHARD For a year and a half Ethel went to Hope. Then we gladly welcomed her to I ech. Gentle, earnest, affec- tionate. greeting us ever with a pleasant smile, how soon she seemed an old, dear friend! She is generally seen with her chum, “Dot” Hathaway, and, like “Dot,” plays a fine game of basketball. Ethel is also a mem- ber of the Glee Club, where her soprano voice is thor- ol appreciated. In her studies she always stands well, especially in English and Drawing. The future is not clear to Ethel yet. but when the mists roll away a fair scene will lie before her. ETHELBERT ANDREW RUSDEN Bertie is a happy-go-lucky fellow, always talking or smiling. After having spent three precious years at Moses Brown, he left for some good reason of his own and joined us in our last year. Bertie’s favorite hob- bies are walking and automobile driving. He expects to enter Brown in the fall. 32 TECH RKVIEW ERNEST FRANK SANTANGINI Ernest entered Tech with us in 19!0. He is a quiet, studious fellow and has earned the respect and affec- tion of teachers and classmates. He is proficient in both French and German, but his favorite study is Italian. He usually spends his spare time in taking pictures and has a marked talent for photography. He expects to enter Brown in September. HAROLD BROWN SCHOTT Harold went to Hope for two years. He then joined the vocational class at Tech and has been one of its members for three years. He served his apprenticeship in Brown and Sharpe’s. He is a good-looking fellow and always wears a necktie or a pair of socks of such a color that you can almost hear them across the room. Last year Schotty and Cherry tried to see how many 2-2 slips they could gather. They were almost too suc- cessful, but both are still with us. In academic work Harold excels in English Composition. We all wish him success when he enters Massachusetts Institute of Technology next September. ELSIE ALMA SELLEY Four years has Elsie graced the halls of our dear old school with her presence. She is a most demure maiden and not until her last six months did she really show any signs of mischievousness. Elsie maintains a high stand- ard in her studies, and is, as a result, a favorite among her instructors. The Anthony medal essay was awarded to Elsie upon her graduation in January; you may read the essay, which can be found on page 39 of this book. It is hard to tell in what studies she shines most, or which of the arts she most enjoys, as she has been our model in every class. She will enter Byrant and Stratton busi- ness college. But she was once known to have expressed a wish to become a nurse. We feel sure that the nurse’s cap would just fit her head. RALPH WILLARD SHUMAN Ralph entered Tech in 1910. He came from Johnston and back and forth he traveled for the four years. Dur- ing his second and third years he was in the vocational course, but returned to the regular course in his fourth year. Shuman’s great failing is his fondness for bow-ties and girls; it is rumored that he has a great assortment of both. Ralph may go to Rhode Island State College, but has not fully decided as yet. T E C H R E V I E W 33 ROBERT HAVES SMITH This light-haired, blue-eyed innocent is familiarly known as Bobbie, and came to us from Morris Heights in our junior year. He has worked man- fully to overcome big handicaps in Math, and Physics. During the past year he practiced cross-country faith- fully and in 1915 we shall expect to see a big “T” en- tirely covering his little bosom. Bobbie is strong for so- cials, where he shines among the fair sex. But to put all joking aside, he is one of our best friends and we wish him hick wherever he may go. EDITH HAZARD STONE Edith, who is better known to us as “Peggy, is con- tinually working for the H’s that always appear on her reports. From first impressions one might think her a very demure miss, but she has a part in all the fun that goes on. The Review Board has had the benefit of her earnest, painstaking work and the Social Committee, of which she has been a member for three years, has profited much by her many good suggestions for our parties. Edith expects to return to Tech next fall for a post- graduate course. ELIZABETH FORREST SUTHERLAND Elizabeth has been Gladys Swan’s constant companion thruout her four happy years at l ech. Her greatest charm is her sunny disposition and her greatest trial is her very curly hair, which will never “stay put. Eliza- beth is assistant treasurer of the class, is a member of the Glee Club, (and a sweet voice has she) and is chair- man of the Social Committee. We shall not forget Eliza- beth and her pleasant ways. GLADYS MARION SWAN Gladys’ popularity with both boys and girls has been earned by faithful service. In the preparation of every social affair throughout our four years at Tech, Gladys has had a parr, and well has she performed it. She has been a member of the Girls’ Glee Club for three years and is a member of the girls’ basketball team. She ex- pects to take the kindergarten course at Normal School next fall. As you make the new friendships. Gladys, don't forger the old ones of Tech. 34 T E C H R E V I E W HENRY EVERETT THAYER It you ever have the blues and want to get rid of them quickly, just send for “Hen,” and presto! they will go. If you don't believe it, just look at his picture and judge for yourself. “Hen” has toiled with us for four long years and has a good record, many friends, and memories of innumerable good times to repay him for his hard labor. His artistic temperament has won him a position of Art Editor on the Review Board. “Hen” has not fully decided where he will go after graduating from Tech, bur he will probably enter Boston School of Fine Arts. CHARLES HENRY VEHSE “Vizzy,” the wizard of Chemistry, and star of even- class! Charlie has been in Tech for five years. His first two years were spent in the regular course and his last three have been spent in the vocational. At the present time he is serving his apprenticeship in the shop of the B. A. Ballou Co. Charlie has not yet selected his future career, being undecided whether he will be a farmer, a jeweler, or the president of the United States. Vc think he is well suited for the last position. RUTH EDITH TRICKETT Ruth, another of our busy girls, has a pleasant greeting for every one. Being fond of a joke herself, she makes a good joke editor for the “Tech Review. She was a member of the Social Committee in her third year. That Ruth is a student, her reports bear ample witness. Both teachers and pupils appreciate her cheerful, sunny disposi- tion and her readiness to help in every good work. She has not yet decided what she will do on leaving Tech. NILS KARL SAMUEL WALLEN Our old friend Harpie was born in China, began his education in Sweden, and will finish it at Tech. He is a big, good-natured fellow and may always be found with his chum Fleck. Harp” expects to enter the State Col- lege or Brown in the fall, and continue his studies in an engineering course. T ECH R E V I EW 35 HELEN ELIZABETH WATROUS Helen came to Providence from Hope Valley just in time to enter our illustrious class of 1914, and her record here testifies to her excellent preparation received in her home town. In German and Mathematics, Helen is the envy of her class, and if plugging gets a person to the goal, she will surely reach it. For three years she has been a regular member of the Glee Club, and fortunate is the one who sits next to her, for Helen has no trouble in reading difficult music. We expect to see her a teacher of her favorite subjects, German and Mathematics. FREDERICK AUGUST WESPHAL Reader, pause; here you look upon the countenance of “Fritzie” Wcsphal, our star football featherweight. To sec him plough through a group of men on the field is good to behold and his punting is enough to make any high school fellow envious. Here is his athletic record: He played on the football team four years, three years on the track team, and two years on the baseball team. He is captain of the 1914 Tech team and was honored in football by being chosen for three consecutive years as left tackle on the All-Interscholastic eleven. Fritzie’s ambition is to enter the Navy and Annapolis is now his goal. He has been appointed first alternate, and success must be his if all goes as we wish. ALBERT EDWARD WHITE Athletics and class affairs having no attraction for “AP he is classed as a quiet fellow, but no doubt his immediate friends could, and would, dispute this statement. He is always closely attended by his chum Redfern. As he goes into the business world, the good wishes of the class go with him. VERNON JAMES WILBOURN The fact that Vernon and the faculty arc on such good terms, is a sign that he is a good student and a g x)d fel- low. As he is an ardent track enthusiast, we may reason- ably deduce that Dame Knowledge does not claim all of his time in school. He does splendid technical work which will serve him to good advantage in the business world. 36 T E C H R E V I E W HERMAN AARON WINKLER Hincy Winkler, the tall, dark fellow with the pleasant expression of countenance, looks like a person quite stu- diously disposed, and so indeed he is. Herman seldom utters a word unless it is wise or witty, and he has a pretty wit, as the German class can testify. His school work has been creditable for, as we have implied, he is a natural student. He expects to enter some college after his adieu to Tech. GEORGE HENRY YERECK Cieorge is one of the few fellows who left us in February. During his four years at Tech he has proved himself an excellent scholar, for he has tackled every subject with ease. In the chemical laboratory George has discovered more than one formula for producing loud chemical re- actions. He displayed his literary ability by winning the Anthony medal. Socials do not interest him to any great extent, but he is always ready to give a helping hand in the school. Between the months of February and September George will turn money-maker so as to be able to enter some college in the fall. ANTHONY RALPH PELOS1 Anthony is a quiet boy who came to us from Academy Avenue. He is mechanically inclined and shines bright- est in the machine-shop. Among his studies he has two hobbies, French and Mathematics, but almost any time of day he may be seen trying to figure out a problem in Physics or Electrical Engineering. Altho he never takes part in athletics, he shows his sporting spirit by going to every football game. He will go to some higher institution.

SUTHERLAND CHARLES M. FORT PERRY HOPKINS T E C H R E V I E W 38 The Prize Anthony Medal Essays the Mexican Situation Bv George H. Yereck ECAUSE of the state of affairs in Mexico, many false and un- reliable statements have been made by the press about that ill- fated country, thereby poison- ing the minds of the American public. By this 1 do not mean to say that Mexico is a model country by any means; but I will say that much of the printed matter concern- ing the outrages in this country is false. The real causes of all the trouble in Mexico can be understood only by studying the history and the conditions of that country in the past which have been the roots of the trouble in the present. In the year 1521, the cruel and treacherous Cortez conquered the wealthy and happy Indians of Mexico, set up the Church with its ancient custom of the Inquisition, and levied enormous taxes upon the people. Under this heavy despotism the poor Indians were downtrodden and depressed for nearly three hundred years. The effect of this tyranny is evident today and is one of the real causes of the present state of affairs. There are over 18,000.000 people in Mexico, of whom 14,000,000 lack every qualification for self-government. They arc mostly Indians and half-breeds who have no desire nor am- bition except to eat and to sleep. Among this peon class are scattered the professional revolutionists and the landlords, who arc willing to sacrifice their country’s honor and reputation to satisfy their own individual ambitions. These selfish men have been the direct cause of the condition in which the peon class is found. Notwithstanding the preceding unfortunate conditions, it has been shown that Mexico can be governed successfully under a strong man. Porfirio Diaz is the man that has done more for the good of Mexico than any other person. With his untiring zeal and deter- mination he guided his country for over thirty years. It was during his administra- tion that the country was thrown open to foreign capital, that railroads and schools were built, and that the country was devel- oped in a hundred other ways. During this period of development, the oil interests got control in Mexico, and later played an important part in Mexican politics. These oil interests are controlled by a British corporation in which the British Government is interested. Madcro, a rich Mexican, now came into prominence by declaring it was time to get rid of President Diaz., who was at this time eighty-one years old. A riot was started which soon received the more dignified name of a revolution. Diaz, was forced to leave the country. Madcro was opposed to the oil interests, but he promised to leave them alone if he were elected to the office of Presi- dent. After he was president he broke his promise and began to prosecute the Aquila Oil Company. It is believed bv many that the revolution which followed under Huerta was financed and helped along by the British oil interests with the idea of deposing Madero. Nothing more need be said of this rebellion of bloodshed and assassination through which Huerta obtained his office. It was at this time that the Washington Administration decided to rake a hand and stop the proceedings. The result was a com- plete failure. Huerta declared himself dicta- tor of the Mexican Republic and put the House of Deputies into prison. Here again the oil interests took a prominent part by influencing the British Government to recog- nize Huerta as president. 'This was a decided setback for the Washington officials, who had hoped to eliminate Huerta by refusing to recognize him and also by keeping the strictest neutrality. This attitude at Washington helped the present revolution under the Con- stitutionalists to make headway against Huerta. Nearly all of the foreign govern- ments have now endorsed the American policy and therefore Huerta’s days as president are numbered. Such are rhe conditions at present in the unfortunate Republic that there is verv little prospict of neace until Huerta is eliminated from that office which he Ins gained through bloodshed and treachery. After the elimina- tion of Huerta. Mexico needs a good, strong, and determined man. like Diaz, to uplift her again into a prosperous and peaceful republic of the New World. T E C H R E V I E V 39 Wildfire’s Part in “Silas Marner” By Elsie A. Selley WHEN Godfrey could no longer keep his brother Dunstan from telling the secret of his marriage unless he gave him more money, and after Dunstan had suggested that he sell Godfrey’s horse Wild- fire, Godfrey consented, so that he could give his father the rent which he had collected from a tenant and had given to Dunstan. Dunstan set out on Godfrey’s horse for the chase. Before the chase began he bargained to sell Wildfire for a desirable sum, if the horse was still in good condition after the chase. But Dunstan was reckless and tried to jump one hedge too many. The horse was pierced on the side and it dropped dead, but luck had always been with Dunstan and it was with him now. for he escaped unhurt. With Godfrey’s riding whip in his hand, he walked across the fields towards his home. It was very foggy, and as Dunstan was not used to walking across these fields, he had to pick his way very carefully. When he reached the familiar lanes of Raveloe, he saw through the fog the light from Silas ] tamer’s cottage, and directed his feet towards it. intending to look in the window. Since he had not got the money which he would have received from Wildfire’s sale, he had been thinking of Silas Marner’s money, and that he would tell his brother that he could borrow it from Silas. When he reached the cottage he could see no one inside and, to his surprise, when he lifted the latch, the door flew open. There was a fire on the hearth and a small roast of meat was slowly cooking over it. He won- dered first how much money Silas had and then the thought jumped into his mind, Where does he keep his money?” He could think of only two places in Silas Marner’s cottage where he had heard that people hoarded money. These were in the bed and under bricks in the floor. He at once exam- ined the bed with no result, and then his eyes rested on the bricks in the floor, in front of the fireplace. On these were sprinkled sand, and in one place at the foot of the loom the sand was spread very evenly, and finger prints could be seen. Dunstan immediately brushed away the sand and took out two loose bricks. He put his hand inside the hole and pulled out two leather bags which contained all the money that Silas had hoarded for fifteen years. Dunstan then wondered why Silas was away on such a foggy night as that, and won- dered if he had lost his way and fallen into the stone pit. If he had fallen into the stone pit and been drowned, who would get his money? He had no relatives, and no friends, and nobody would know what had become of his money, no one would suspect that he, Dunstan Cass, had taken the money. “Then why not take it.” he said to himself. “I have as much right to it as anybody,” and thinking this, with the money in his hands he stepped out of the cottage into the fog and the dark. If Dunstan had been more cautious and bad sold Wildfire before the chase, the horse would not have been killed and the money would have been given to Godfrey to pay his father. Thus Silas Marncr’s money would not have been stolen. 40 TECH REVIEW The Way the Mob in Julius Caesar Was Handled by Antony, Compared to the Way It Was Handled by Brutus By Chester M. Downing WE cannot question the fact that a vast difference existed between the method employed by Brutus and that used by Antony to control the crowd at Caesai’s funeral. Each man had a method. Each method had its result and a considera- tion of what each accomplished and the rea- son for it is not without interest and value. Naturally enough we think of Brutus first. We can see him as he stands before the mourning populace, a man of integrity and ability, yet with almost no insight into tin- hearts of his fellowmen. The weeping and lamenting dies away as he stands there and with eager expectancy the people await his words. His message is short and simple, an unconscious unfolding of himself. Brutus is a sincere man and his speech is full of sin- cerity. He is a conscientious man and his recent painful efforts to obey the dictates of that conscience, regardless of cost, arc be- trayed as he speaks. But more than this, Brutus is a patriotic man and patriotism fills and overflows his words. He is no orator, this Brutus, but the people arc touched by his sincere words of sacrifice and patriotism, as people will always be touched by words that gush from the heart, and as Brutus descends from the rostrum the multitude are saying with him. “Not that we love Caesar less, but that we love Rome more. Another figure stands before us as we laud Brutus and lament the ambitions of Caesar with the people in the market-place. His face is haggard and drawn and in his swollen eyes is a great sadness. His attitude is that of one crushed by grief. Can this be Antony, the orator of renown and friend of Caesar, whose burning words have so often set on fire the hearts of his hearers? He speaks. The voice is not that of an orator but that of a sorrowing friend who speaks with friend, a voice of tenderness and love. His bearing causes a sublime awe to seize the throng and in the reverend stillness which follows Mark Antony portrays love. He speaks of his love for Caesar as a friend, of the former love of the people for their leader, and, most of all, of the great, warm, true love which Caesar returned to his people. Gradually Brutus’s words on patriotism fade into insignificance and a realization of Caesar's love for them and their love for Caesar comes to them as it never has come before. Brutus’s method was the simple and strong call of patriotism; Antony’s the irresistible call of love. Patriotism is less than love be- cause the part is less than the whole. Patriot- ism is an expression of love. A man in whose heart is the greatest of virtues need not be told that he must be patriotic. He naturally will be. And never while warm blood courses through the veins of man and justice dwells in his heart, will the call of love be super- seded bv that which is less than the greatest of these.” TECH REVIEW 41 How Dunstan Cass Became a Thief By Ruth Campbell MANY things were, in a way, respon- sible for the fact that Dunstan Cass became a thief, and yet, in spite of all these events, it was Dunstan’s own char- acter which caused his final downfall. In him were mingled an utter lack of thought or consideration for others, which made a •.elfish, unloving spirit, and a weak moral character, which was led hither and thither by every temptation. But for his selfishness, it is improbable that Dustan would have lost Wildfire, and only such weakness would have yielded to the temptation which the money presented. With the bargain for the horse concluded, it occurred to Dunstan that probably the wisest thing would be to keep out of the hunt. But a love of display, and a trust in his God of Luck , overcoming this idea, he recklessly entered the chase, only to have it end in the disastrous killing of Wildfire. Even this acci- dent did not break his faith in his own good luck, for who but an especially fortunate per- son would, at such an embarrassing juncture, find himself uninjured, between parties of hunters, and in a gathering mist? Disengaging himself from the tangle in which Wildfire lay, Dunstan reinforced him- self with a drink from his flask, and started to walk to some habitation. The thought of the horse did not worry him. for after all. Godfrey could surely induce the old miser, Marner,” to lend the money on credit, and woidd probablv give the task to Dunstan to perform. As Dunstan said, he was fine for enticing people to do what he wished. With these thoughts in his mind. Dunstan was gradually approaching the house of Silas Marner, the light from whose windows shone dimly thru the mist. The thought of dry- ing himself was pleasant to Dunstan, and he reflected that Marner might, perhaps, drop some hint about his money. Dunstan reached the cottage and rapped loudly on the door, enjoying the thought that it would frighten the old man. When he lifted the latch up and down, the door opened to his surprise, and he walked in to find the room empty. A fine fire was burning on the hearth, and sitting down to warm himself, he began to think again, of Marner and his money. Where could the miser be, and why had he left th door unfastened? Was it possible that he had gone out and fallen into the pit? Then to w hom did the money belong? The thought of the money pressed on his mind. Where did misers keep their treasure? Under the floor? Dunstan’s eyes traveled quickly over the floor. More and more filled with the thought of the treasure, he forgot that Marner might be alive. 'I o him the possibility of Marner’s death became a certainty. The firelight danc- ing over the floor revealed the fact that although the sand was sprinkled over the floor, in only one place did it cover it entirely. It was near the foot of the loom. He moved forward swiftly, brushed away the sand with trembling hands, and lifted the bricks. There lay two bags which could hold only the money. In his mind there was no possibility of Marner’s return. Why should he not have the money? He lifted the bags replaced th? bricks, and brushed sand over the place. All the bad tendencies of his early life, his weakness, and his selfishness, all re- sulted in this one great act which was to change the cours. of more than one life, and to Jiave a marked influence on more than one character. With one last fearful glance around, Dunstan slung the bags over his shoulder, and stepped quickly out into the darkness. 42 T E C H R E V I E W SOCIAL EVENTS The First Newport Trip FTER the class of 1914 had or- ganized during its second year, the need for acquaintance was felt very greatly among the members. That they might be- come better acquainted, the Social Commit- tee arranged a picnic for the thirty-first of May, 1912. The day dawned dark, gloomy, and rainy, to the sorrow of the class, and the picnic had to be postponed. After much dis- cussion it was decided that we sail down the bay to Newport on the twentieth of June. The day set was bright and beautiful; the sun shone with all its might. A goodly num- ber of boys and girls met at the Continental wharf with Miss Alice Presbrcy as chaperon. On the downward trip each made himself ac- quainted with everyone else, and all enjoyed the sail immensely. Arrived at Newport, we boarded a car and rode directly to the beach, where we ate our lunch. Then came games for which prizes were awarded. At half past four we turned our faces toward home. The sail up the bay was enjoyed much more quiet- ly than the sail down had been. We arrived in Providence, a tired but happy crowd, and all voted the day a success. The committee of arrangements was com- posed of the following: Kenneth L. Burdon. Chairman. Edith II. Stone, Elizabeth F. Sutherland, (iladys M. Swan, and Ralph E. Harrington. The Christmas Social IN our Junior year the January and June classes united and planned a Christmas social, to be held in the school hall on December twentieth. 1912. 'Phis was the first real social, and was remarkably well carried out. The hall was beautifully and appropriately decorated. Between the posts, twined with red and green, hung festoons of the same colors. Christmas bells were sus- pended from the festoons and from the center of the ceiling. A prcttilv trimmed Christmas tree stood upon the platform. 'Ehe social began with a reception. Mr. and Mrs. Weston, Mr. Trowbridge and Miss Round comprised the committee. A short program followed, consisting of violin solos by Charles F. Rossi, readings by Edward J. Boulester, and whistling solos by Miss Lois Burdon. The company then found partners by means of matching numbers. Next came a most amusing exchange of gifts. After this dancing was enjoyed until the intermission, when all went down to the lunch room for refreshments. 'The rest of the evening was spent in dancing and the party finally broke up at eleven o’clock. T ECU R E V I E VV 43 The Second Newport Trip AFTER much discussion it was finally decided that we again go to Newport, this time on June 18, 1913. The day dawned beautiful and warm, and everything seemed made to order. A large party con- gregated on the hurricane deck of the Mount Hope with Mr. and Mrs. Trowbridge as chaperons. Bashfulness was a thing of the past and the fun was infectious. Several cameras caught us in various groups and poses that we might later have souvenirs of the trip. Arrived at Newport, we set out under Mr. Trowbridge’s guidance for the “forty steps. This was a very long walk which took us through no small part of the city. When we reached the forty steps, we descended and sat on the rocks below to eat our lunches. After lunch we took the cliff walk to the beach and enjoyed the magnificent view of the ocean. During our stay at the beach some of the boys and girls took a ride on the merry-go-round. Then we rode to the War College and went on board the “Constellation,” and afterwards witnessed the drill of the naval apprentices. At the close of the drill, we took a car for the wharf, where we boarded the boat for home. The memory of another happy day was ours. The Hallowe’en Social DURING our Senior year the two classes again combined for a social in the assembly hall. The date set for the memorable dance was October 29, 1913. The hall was prettily decorated with black and orange, and pumpkins were hung between the posts. One corner of the hall was devoted to games which were in charge of Mr. Cushman. Miss Round, occupying a tent in another corner, revealed the future to all who wished to learn their fate. A reception, with Mr. and Mrs. Weston and Mr. and Mrs. Trowbridge receiving, was followed by a short address of welcome from Mr. Weston. Mr. Trowbridge than introduced the most important part of the entertainment, the witches’ scenes from Macbeth, produced under the direction of M iss Slack. The cast consisted of the follow- ing: Macbeth. Mr. Ladd; Banquo, Mr. Kelly; witches. Miss Middleton. Miss Dane, and Miss Braman, with Miss Gertrude Joseffy at the piano. Games and dancing fol- lowed the entertainment. The social committees in charge were: January:—Ruth Dane (chairman), Regina Brennan, Charles Fort, Raymond Farwcll, Edward Fitzmauricc; June:—Harold Wad- dington, Edith Stone, Elizabeth Sutherland, Gladys Swan, and Harold Anderson. The Washington Social ON Friday, February 27, the 1V-A Class held a Washington Social in the assem- bly hall. American flags with festoons of red, white and blue were the decorations. Mr. Weston welcomed the class with a talk in which he advocated simplicity and infor- mality in the social life of the school. A duet by Miss Elizabeth Sutherland and Miss Helen Watrous was first on the program. '1'his was followed by readings by Miss Ruth Trickctt, violin selections bv Mr. Harold Anderson, and recitations by Mr. Herbert Butterfield. The remainder of the evening was given over to dancing to the music of a good orchestra; a program of twelve dances was carried out. At the intermission all de- scended to the lunch room, where ices and fancy cakes were served. The evening was particularly enjoyable on account of the in- formal and home-like atmosphere that pre- vailed. The success of the evening was due to the committee of arrangements, composed of Miss Elizabeth F. Sutherland, chairman. Miss Edith H. Stone, Miss Gladys M. Swan, Mr. Harold K. Anderson and Mr. John W. Cruickshank. 44 TEC H REV!EW The German Social ON the seventh of January occurred, that much talked of event, the Ger- man Social. It was a merry crowd which gathered informally in 111-16. there to spend one of our most enjoyable evenings, hollowing the reception, a program of sixteen numbers began. There were readings and recitations by members of both classes, dia- logs from Ini Vaterland by the June class. Act I, Scene I of Wilhelm Tell, by three groups of the February class. We had at least one real German number, for Mr. Flick read German nursery rimes, which were high- ly enjoyed. In the intermission we welcomed our old friends Pfcffcrniissc, Spirzkukcln, Pre .els, and chocolate. We next watched an exciting spelling match between the boys and girls of the IV A class; Mr. Butterfield took the honors. About 9:45 we adjourned to 111-4 to sing German songs until ten o’clock. With happy hearts we bade our hostess and each other good night and went home to talk German in our sleep. The Senior Play ON May 7th, 1914. a large gathering enjoyed an entertainment given in the Assembly Hall for the benefit of the Athletic Field. 1 he Glee Clubs rendered several selections. The most important feat- ure of the evening consisted of a one-act play, “ I he Revolving Wedge,” given by members of the senior class. The cast was as follows: Mr. Martin, a Cambridge gentleman.... Herbert Butterfield Bob Martin, his son......Lawrence G. Flick Hr. George Brown...................George C. Hull Edward Biddle.............Philip R. Arnold Michael Dolan, the policeman............ Sidney B. Blaisdcll Mrs. Martin. .............Ruth E. Trickett Nell Martin, her daughter............... Florence E. Braman Norah, the maid.........Edith B. Kingman The stage managers were J. Edward Fitz- maurice, Henry E. Thayer and Sarah E. Coyne. The play was staged under the direc- tion of Miss Florence H. Slack. Home made candies and orangeade were on sale. Arbor Day ON May X. 1914, we celebrated Arbor Day at our own Athletic Field, as has been our custom for the last two years. John M. Dean kindly presented to the school an avenue of trees to be placed on the street leading from Cranston street to the main entrance of the Athletic Field. An ad- ditional tree, placed on the Field, was dedi- cated to John H. Kendrick, who t x k much interest in education and who was influential in the founding of our Technical High School. The program for the exercises was as follows: President’s Address. ... Ralph E. Harrington Selection from Tennyson’s “In Memo- riam” ........................Edith H. Stone Early Life of Mr. Kendrick................ Chester M. Downing “Crossing the Bar”.... Mabel E. Middleton Mr. Kendrick’s Public Life................ Harold T. Hargraves Selection from Tennyson’s “In Memo- riam ........................Gladys M. Swan Dedicatory Address by the President. Ceremony of Dedication........Class of 1914 TECH REVIEW 45 THE PRINCIPAL’S MEDAL HAT is that follow taking, a baseball course?” Ho is spec- ializing in study and lunch, but he’s some football player.” “That fellow wouldn’t be in school if there weren’t any athletics; but that’s all right, he’s on the track team.” Such expressions as these set Principal Weston thinking that there might be offered some coveted prize that would appeal to the most devoted athlete. For several years a certificate has been granted to a boy who had earned a place on any team and had been awarded an official '1'. Mr. Weston devised a medal to be awarded to every boy earning three T’s and his school diploma. The picture at the top of this page is a half-tone of the medal offered by Mr. Weston. It was designed by a member of this school, under his direction, and was first awarded in 1912 to Marcus Day, Frederick Lee Smith, and Frank C. Wright. Last year six received medals: Percy L. Crossman, Earl Taylor, Hugh Haiti. Mark Farnham, Walter C. Wood, and Irving Scott Fraser. At the bottom of the design stands the lamp of wisdom sending forth a cloud of incense which forms the border of the medal on one side. A laurel branch, representing the victor’s crown, forms the border for the opposite side. The books and gear typify, re- spectively, the two courses of the school, the academic and the technical, and the foot of Hermes, bound with the Talaria, represents the athletic side of the school. We arc grateful to our principal for the encouragement of athletics in connection with scholarship. The existence of the medal is not generally known—since it has been in effect so short a time—but we hope this arti- cle may be the means of spreading the knowl- edge of this stimulating and generous offer. ‘The candidates for the medals this year are: Frederick A. Westphal. Howard A. Macrae, Charles M. Fort. 46 T E C II R E V I E W uThe Danger Signal” A Romance of the Rail By HOWA R D K. C HliRR Y Author of “The Marble Industry ’ “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark,” “A Bicycle Trip,” Etc., Etc. With an illustration by RAVMON I) S. BEN AR I) T E C H R E V I E W 47 The Danger Signal CHAPTER ONE Introducing Allan West E month of October in the year 191— was a very rainy period. In the little village of Saints- bury the streets had become rivers of muddy water, and even “Nelt” Maine, who had fought in the Rebellion, said he “cal’la ted it was the powerfulest rainy time he’d seen in over forty year.” As 1 remember, on the 28th of the month the weather cleared off cold, and the change from the warm rainy days made even the toughest of the inhabitants shiver. About six o’clock in the evening of this same day, a young man about twenty-five years of age was seen walking down Hemlock Avenue toward the railroad station. As he reached the station the 6:05 accommodation for Canton was just pulling out. Without a moment’s hesitation he swung aboard the rear platform, went into the car, and dropped into one of the back scats. In a half hour he would arrive in the city of Canton, and there commence his night’s run, for this young man, Allan West by name, was fireman on the (iilt Edge Flyer, the fastest train on the B. L. E. Railroad. The Gilt Edge, known on the despatched sheet as No. 8 east, traveled between Canton and Springfield, a distance of 306 miles. It covered this distance in five hours and forty minutes, making six stops. It was scheduled to leave Canton at 7:40 P. M., due in Spring- field at 1:20 A. M. Allan had ridden in on this accommodation every other day for over two years, as head- end men on fast passenger trains work only that often. During this time he had become well acquainted with the conductor, and on these trips they often found time for a pleasant chat. As the chief topic of conversa- tion everywhere was the weather, it was only natural that the conductor should open the conversation by saying, “Think it’s cleared off for good, Allan?’’ “Well, I should hope so,” replied Allan. “We nearly ran by two red eyes night before last. It was about the worst night I ever rode on two rails.” “Yes, it was an awful night. I hear there were two or three washouts on the western division.” “I shouldn't be a bit surprised,” replied Allan. “I heard that the dam at the Millville reservoir had broken. Did you hear anything about it?” “I didn’t hear anything about it, but you mark my words: if that dam goes it will take the railroad bridge with it.” Well, I certainly hope not, said Allan, laughingly. “I’ve got to go over that bridge to-night.” “Of course it may not go at once,” ex- plained the conductor,” but it will inside of four or five hours. Just as soon as the water has had a chance to wash against those con- crete foundations a little while, the whole thing will crumble to pieces like so much mud.” “What makes you think so?” inquired Allan. I don’t think so. I know so. Why, they didn’t put in half enough cement to the cubic yard to give it any strength. It’s the plan of this road to put in cheap roadbed and cheap rolling stock and thus increase dividends. It’s what they call good business. Why, here we’re almost in the station,” he exclaimed, jumping up. “It won’t do any harm to bear in mind what I have told you,” he called back over his shoulder, and then he walked down the aisle crying, “Cantonnn! Can ton nn! Change carrrs for Chicago and wayyy sta- tion n ns.” Allan remained in his seat and rode to the roundhouse when the train was backed down. As soon as he reached the round-house he went directly to his engine, which was one of the new Pacific type, commonly known as a thirteen hundred. He looked at his fire and threw on a few shovelfuls of coal. Then he opened the forced draught valve and the in- jector. He also started the air pump. After looking around to sec if every thing was ready for the run, he sat down to wait for Tom Burton, the engineer. He had been waiting only a few minutes 48 T E C H R E V I E W when the master mechanic came hurrying over and handed him a sealed envelope. Hastily tearing it open he found a message which read as follows: B. L. E. Railroad. Office of Div. Supt. Eastern Division. Canton, Tenn. 10 28 191—. Report to me AT ONCE. J. C. Drew, Div. Supt. Allan took a last look at his lire to see if it was all right, and then hurried across the yards to the office of the division superinten- dent. Glancing at his watch, he saw that it was 7 :03, and the Gilt Edge was due to leave in thirty-seven minutes. He could think of no reason for being called on “the mat,” so it was a very nervous young man who was hustled into Mr. Drew's private office, after having told one of the clerks in the outer office that his name was Allan West. But his reception by Mr. Drew was entirely different from what he had imagined it would be. CHAPTER TWO Two brave Men Ding! Ding! A big trolley car on the Canton and Silver Falls Suburban Street Railway had stopped at Winston’s Corner to pick up a couple of passengers. Winston’s Corner is two miles from Canton's City Hall Park, and this car, due there at 6:35 P. M., was now eight min- utes late. When the conductor rang the bell to go ahead, motorman Charles Parker opened the controller wide. A sign on the dasher read “Express from Winston's Corner, so there would be no more stops to pick up passengers. Motorman Parker had before him a stretch of track a mile long, a sharp curve, and then the grade down University Hill which is a mile long; he believed he would be able to make up the eight minutes lateness. The first mile was covered in short order, and as the car approached the curve Parker closed the controller and applied the air, but somehow the brakes did not work well and the car swung around the curve and started down the hill much too fast for safety. In a second, almost, the car attained a speed of forty miles an hour. Parker saw that the air had failed, but he did not falter in the time of danger, He decided that the only thing to do was to ring the gong and put on the hand brake. But what effect will a hand brake have on a mass of forty tons moving at the rate of forty miles an hour down a steep grade on slippery rails? As soon as the passengers realised that the car was running away, several attempted to jump off, but the conductor closed the vesti- bule door and kept them inside. Women fainted and pedestrians stared open-mouthed at the rushing car. Half way down the hill conditions remained the same. All would be well if the track could be kept clear. Three- quarters of the distance was covered. Parker began to think that everything was going to end without accident. The hand brake had kept the car from gaining more speed but should anyone get in the way, the result would be fearful to think of. And then, scarcely a hundred yards ahead, Parker saw something that sent a chill to his heart. A little girl, not three years old. toddled on to the track and pointed gleefully at the approaching car. Parker did his best with the brake, but it slowed the car not a bit. The mother, who just then noticed the danger of her darling, screamed and ran to get her. At that instant a man dashed from the sidewalk and lifted the child from the rails. As he did so the front step of the car struck him and threw him to one side. The blow knocked the man unconscious, but the little girl, though badly frightened, was uninjured. The car rushed on but was easily stopped when it reached the level a few rods away. Meantime a citizen had telephoned for the ambulance which arrived quickly and took the injured man to the hospital. There it was found he had broken his leg and been severely bruised. Nothing serious, unless internal in- juries developed. His indentification card gave his name as Thomas Burton and his address as 168 Elm Avenue. The hospital authorities notified his wife at once. She telephoned to the Division Superintendent and told him of her husband’s injury and then went to the hospital. • No blame for the accident was placed on motorman Parker as it had been caused by defective equipment. Canton had reason to lx proud, for had not two of her citizens proved themselves heroes? TECH RKVIEW 49 CHAPTER THREE In If huh a lire man Becomes an Engineer “Come right in, young man, said the su- perintendent. “You are Allan West, arc you not?” Y'es, sir.” You arc fireman on the (iilt Edge Flyer? “Yes, sir. “How long have ou been on that job? “A little over two years, replied Allan. “Do you know how to run a locomotive? “Mr. Burton has taken a hand at firing nearly every day and then I have held the throttle, said Allan. “Well, the fact is, Burton has broken a leg and is laid up in the hospital. 1 just heard about it a few minutes ago.” “Why, who is going to run the ‘Flyer to- night? asked Allan. “That is just what 1 want to talk to you about, continued Mr. Drew. “I haven’t been able to find a man to run the ‘Flyer to- night as yet. ‘Billy Adams has the grippe. Brown has a broken arm. West, can you run the ‘Flyer’ tonight? Allan was too surprised to answer, but after Mr. Drew repeated the question he managed to say, “Yes, sir, I think I can.” “And so do I. cried the superintendent. “If I hadn’t thought so I wouldn’t have asked you. By the way, the President’s private car is to he on the ‘Flyer’ tonight. There will be five or six big stockholders and the President on hoard and the ‘Flyer has got to live up to her record.” “Who is going to do the firing? inquired Allan. “I have sent ‘Billy’ Jackson down. I think he will be just the right fellow. He has been firing spare. It is 7:09, he said, looking at the clock. “You have thirty-one minutes. I am going down on the ‘special tonight, so I will come up and see you a minute before you leave the station. 1 think you will find every- thing ready when you get back. Good luck to you,” and he grasped Allan by the hand. As Allan left the office it seemed to him that he was walking on air. He, Allan West, a poor fireman who had never even had a switcher of his own. was to drive the (iilt Edge Flyer. But Allan was one of those who go at a thing with all their might, no matter what the task may be. and he had resolved to keep the “Flyer” up to her record. Sure enough, when Allan got back to the engine, Jackson, a fine appearing young fel- low, was already there. Gee, this is a peach of a locomotive, isn’t it? was his greeting. “You bet it is,” replied Allan, proudly. “It’s the best on the division. “M y name is ‘Billy Jackson. What is yours?” “Mine is Allan West. I’m the regular fire- man on here. “And you’re going to run the ‘Flyer’ to- night? “Well, I’m going to try to,” replied Allan. “While 1 was fixing the fire here a few min- utes ago, the Master Mechanic gave me a notice ordering me to report to the Division Superintendent. When I went over, he told me that Burton, the regular engineer, was laid up in the hospital and said that he couldn’t find a man to run the ‘Flyer’ tonight. Then he asked me if I thought I could and I said yes, so here I am.” “Billy” whistled. “Gee. you’re certainly getting along all right! he exclaimed. “Well, we’ve got to couple up now. You keep your fire the way it is now and we’ll get over the road in fine shape. Maybe you don’t know it, but we’re going to haul the Presi- dent’s ‘Special’ with a bunch of ‘big guns’ aboard. I’ll do my best, replied “Billy.” They backed up a few yards and coupled on the eight Pullmans which were used on the ‘Flyer’ regularly. At 7:22 Allan got the green eye” and ran slowly down to the sta- tion. A switching engine set the President’s car on the rear of the “Flyer.” Allan climbed down from the cab, oil-cup in hand, and looked at the train. It was only natural that his heart should thrill with pleas- ure. There stood the proud locomotive. No. 1301, the eight shiny Pullmans, and the President’s “Special with its brass-railed ob- servation platforms. And he was the engineer of this train. What mattered it to him if it was for only one night? Allan went carefully over th? engine, oiling a bearing here, tightening a nut there, trying now this valve and now that. When he had finished his inspection, he looked at his watch and saw that it was 7:34. Six minutes more. He was about to climb back in the cab when he saw Mr. Drew and a young lady hurrying toward him. “Just a minute. Allan.” cried Mr. Drew. “I want to make you acquainted with my daughter, Elsie.” 50 TECH REVIEW 1 am pleased to meet Miss Drew,” said Allan. “I was telling her what a chance I was taking by letting a fireman run the Flyer' to- night and what should she do but insist that I let her ride in the cab. I told her that you might object. Will she be in the way, Allan?” ‘‘Not a bit, Allan assured him. “Well, 1 guess Allan will look after you all right, Elsie. 1 must be going back to the President. West, I am depending on you, and then he grasped Allan by the hand again. Good-bye, Elsie, he said, and then he went back to the Special.” Good-bye, father,” she called after him. Allan helped her into the cab and intro- duced her to Jackson. He then brushed off the fireman’s seat, closed the window on the front of the cab, and made her as comfort- able as possible. Allan looked at his watch. It was 7:39. One minute more. He got up on his scat and waited for the signal to start. 7:40. 'l'he conductor swung his lantern. Allan opened the throttle a notch, another, and then another. The Gilt Edge Flyer had commenced her long journey. CHAPTER FOUR The Danger Signal The B. E. E. is a double iron” line. At Indian Head, two miles east of Canton, the C. I). E. joins the B. E. E. and runs into Canton on the latter’s rails. This has made Indian Head the chief despatching headquar- ters of the two roads. It was here that Allan would receive his orders for the long run before him, and, as the “Flyer approached the signal tower, Allan slowed down, while Jackson prepared to catch the orders on the hoop”. As the hoop slipped on his arm Jackson cried, Ix t her go, Allan. I ve got ’em.” Allan opened the throttle wider and wider until the train was fairly flying over the glistening rails. Then, and not until then, did he look at the orders which Jackson had handed to him. l’he orders simply gave the time at which the train was due to arrive and leave the different stations, and told where to take water. On a double iron” line, protected by semaphore block signals, train orders for fast passenger trains are hardly more than a mat- ter of form. Such trains invariably have a clear track during the entire run, and it is only when they run over a torpedo or come upon a red light torch that engineers have to exercise any great caution to prevent acci- dents. In case a freight train gets a hot-box and is stalled in the middle of a block, the red eye of the semaphore at the entrance to the block will show until that train has safely- entered the next block. It prevents any train from entering the block in which the freight is stalled and causing an accident. Sema- phore block signals have reduced the danger of collisions on double tracked roads to a minimum. The orders which he had received were the same as those he had read with Tom Burton for the past two years. The one purpose which they served was that of keeping the train’s schedule fresh in the engineer’s mind. The first stop was Cameron. Cameron is forty-six miles from Canton and the “Flyer” was due there at 8:29. It is a comparatively level road-bed all the way, but there is a very- sharp curve that has to be taken on the slow”. As Jackson proved to be a capable fireman, everything went well and right on the dot of 8:29 the (Jilt Edge Flyer pulled into the Cameron train shed. 'Flic “Flyer” was due to leave at 8:33. In this interval the conductor came up and read Allan’s orders. “Same old thing,” he grunted, as he walked back. Suddenly it occurred to Allan that Miss Drew was riding on the opposite side of the cab. He turned to inquire how she was en- joying the ride just as she exclaimed, This is just glorious, Mr. West!” “That’s what I think,” said Allan. Is this your first ride in a locomotive?” Yes, it is, Mr. West,” she answered. “I’ve always wanted to ride in one, but somehow father has always refused until tonight.” “Please call me Allan. I’m not used to being mistered.” said Allan. I will if you desire it,” she answered simply. Well, here we go again,” said Allan, as the conductor swung his lantern. 'File next stop was Chester, thirty-four miles from Cameron. The “Flyer” was due at Chester at 9:02. At 9:05' the Flyer” would leave Chester for a twenty-eight mile run to Eakeside Junction. Between Cameron and Chester tin road is nearly all up-grade, but with the throttle wide open old 1301 was eating up the miles. TECH REVIEW 51 Great clouds of black smoke belched from the smoke stack, only to float away and be lost in the darkness. Jackson was working like a trooper. Would you like to run her, Miss Drew?” asked Allan. “Yes, I should love to,” she answered. Allan helped her across the cab and into his own seat. “And you must call me Elsie,” she whis- pered, as she sat down. “Put your hand on here,” said Allan, plac- ing her hand on the throttle. “Now you arc a real engineer.” He stood beside her for a few minutes and then went over on the other side of the cab. There was no use to deny it, Elsie Drew was certainly a pretty girl and she had asked him to call her Elsie! Get up here on your scat and keep a sharp look-out. I’ll fire a few minutes for you,” said Allan. “I'm not a bit tired,” said Jackson. “I don’t need a rest.” “Well, I guess you wouldn’t mind hugging that seat for a few minutes,” was Allan’s re- tort. “Well, remember it’s only for a few min- utes,” said Jackson. Allan had been firing only a short time when Elsie cried, “Allan! Allan! come here a minute. What is that waving its arms ahead there?” “Why, I don’t sec anything,” said Allan. “Well, 1 saw something big and black waving at us, but 1 don’t sec it now,” said Elsie. “Here, Jackson, I think 1 had better stay here a few minutes,” said Allan, as he handed hack the shovel. “All right, Allan. Say,” he whispered, “I’m pretty sure saw something waving at us back there.” In some respects railroad men might be called superstitious. Allan had heard of en- gineers who had seen strange signs and then either had been wrecked or had just stopped their train in time to prevent a wreck. What could that waving have meant? And then there came to his mind what the conductor of the accommodation train had told him about the bridge over the outlet of Millville reser- voir. This outlet was known as the Devil’s Creek, and the bridge over this creek had been the scene of more than one terrible accident. But now the train was approaching Ches- ter. Elsie, with Allan’s help, shut off the steam, applied the air, and brought the train to a stop in the Chester station at 9:03, one minute late. At 9:05 the conductor gave the signal to start. The “Flyer” was due at Lakeside Junction at 9:40, and as this was a stop for water, did not leave until 9:48. Allan stood beside Elsie as the train rushed on. Suddenly he closed the throttle, and cried, “Look! someone is waving us down. Jackson, do you see it? I did, but whatever it was, it’s gone now. Open her up again or you’ll have them up here looking us over. There’s a couple of trainmen looking to sec what the trouble is, already,” said Jackson. Allan opened the throttle again and the train soon pulled into Lakeside Junction, still on time. Lakeside Junction is a country sta- tion at a point where a short branch line con- nects with the B. L. E. It has a water tank and many trains stop there every day to take water. While the train was stopped here, Elsie decided that she had run the train enough, so she went hack on the fireman’s scat, and Allan got tip on his own scat. At 9:48 the train started once more. North Adams would be the next stop. North Adams is seventy-two miles from Lakeside Junction and the time for this distance is eighty-two minutes, making the “Flyer” due to arrive at North Adams at 11:10. From Lakeside Junction there is thirty-five miles of level track to the top of the “Devil’s Grade.” The “Devil’s Grade is fifteen miles long and at the foot of this grade is the “Devil’s Creek.” From this point the track is level all tin way to North Adams. Allan opened the throttle wide and kept it open. 'File train, running on the level track, was going at a mile a minute clip. The thirty-five miles to the “Devil’s Grade” were covered in almost as many minutes. On the grade the train increased its speed to nearly seventy miles an hour. Five miles of the grade were covered, then ten. In a minute the dreaded bridge would be crossed. And now Allan, peering ahead into the darkness, suddenly saw that same waving shadow. It was waving faster now. as if to sav STOP! DANGER! STOP! DANGER! Allan could stand it no longer. He would not go over that bridge until he knew it was safe. “Elsie! Jackson! Hold on for your life!” he screamed. “I’m going to stop her.” 52 T E C H R E V I E W He closed the throttle and jammed on the emergency. The brakes shrieked and sparks flew from the rails. Dozing passengers were thrown headlong from their seats. The whistle blew and the (lilt Edge Elver came to a stop not a hundred feet from the “Devil's Creek. “Elsie! Jackson! Look! See what we missed! cried Allan, pointing toward the river. The head-light showed the waters of the creek on a level with the road-bed and the bridge WAS GONE. CHAPTER FIVE Conclusion Trainmen, passengers and stockholders came running forward to find out what had happened. Allan pointed to the creek. As soon as some of the crowd began to realize how near they had come to death, they fell on their knees and thanked God for their deliverance. Mr. Drew came up to Allan and said. “West, this road can never repay you for what you have done tonight. You have saved the lives of more than three hundred passen- gers. Neither can 1 ever repay you, for you have saved my daughter’s life. The conductor gave orders to return to Lakeside Junction. There any passengers de- siring to do so could transfer up the branch line to the P. O. and thence eastward. Elsie decided to ride back in the “Special with her father. Just as the train was readx to start, Allan turned and looked toward the river. There was that same waving form! He got down from the cab and walked toward the river, hoping to see what it was. but as soon as he got near there, it vanished. He turned around, and glanced at the head-light. Something was causing it to flash. He walked back and climbed on the cow- catcher. Then he saw. A bat was shut in the head-light, and, as it flapped its wings in front of the light in an endeavor to escape, made the waving shadow which had been seen on the track. Allan opened the door of the head-light and took the bat in his hand, as the heat had affected it somewhat. “The Danger Signal, lu murmured, and, opening his hand, he let the bat fly away into the darkness. While riding back in the “Special” with her father Elsie said, “I think that 1 shall invite him to my birthday party next month. “Do so. by all means, her father replied. Two weeks later there were in Allan’s mail two letters that we are interested in. One was small and white, and addressed in a neat feminine hand. The other bore the stamp of the B. L. E. R. R.

Fort (Captain), (Mark. 54 T E C H R E V I E W HE cross-country team under the leadership of Capt. Fort and Coach Haddlcton completed one of the most successful sea- sons on record. From start to finish a pood spirit prevailed, and no discord, which does so much to destroy a team’s chances, was seen. At tin first meet, for the championship of Southern New England, we were second only to the United States cham- pions. and again lost the championship of New England to these men in the B. A. A. run. However, our showing in these meets was so good that we were invited to race the Har- vard Freshmen. We lost this race, altho Clark took first place, but a banquet at the ’Varsity Club restored the spirits of the team. Both first and second teams triumphed in the Interscholastic Run, and the Outlet trophy was won for good. At Fairhaven all three medals and the cup were brought back with us. '1'his sweeping victory ended the sea- son and the following Monday all ribbons, medals, and the three cups, including Clark’s, were exhibited in the Hall. The work of the second team attracted notice by their victories over English and Hope in the Interscholastic race. The boys are much indebted to Coach Haddlcton for his help, and if he is still with us to handle the team, which will be aided Wickson. and Mills, there is no reason why Tech should not be among the leaders next fall.

That it was no one-sided affair may hi seen by the score, which was 26 to 24. Tod Gibbons, one of our promising youngsters, won the fiftecn- ard dash with Capt. Fritz Westphal second. Medbery, Ellis and Gibbons, all Tech” boys, captured the three places in the stand- ing broad jump in the order named. West- phal and Joe Heaton took first and second places, respectively, in the shot-put. Though we secured but third place in the high jump, and did not win the relay race, our early lead gave us the meet. A most sensational dual track meet with the Moses Brown school was the next event of the season. The result of this meet was in doubt until the very last event of the evening, when the Quakers won the relay races, this giving the Moses Brown school the larger number of points. Our hoys cap- tured all the points in the shot-put and won all but one in the senior dash and high jump. The highest individual point winner of the evening was a boy from the Quaker school, although he was closely followed by two promising Technical lads, M archant and Jackson, who were tied for second honors of the evening. In the Tcch-English-Classical triangular meet, which was the third meet of the indoor work. Technical, in the usual way, came out an easy victor. This livel set of games was held in our assembly hall before a large gath- ering of students from each of the schools. We captured all the places in the potato race, second and third in th- high jump and sec- ond in the hurdles. R. Wood of Tech” narrowlv beat Flynn of Classical for first honors in the broad jump with Greenhalgh of “Tech third. Classical made her points in the dash while English secured first place in the high jump. The final score was 22 points for Technical. 18 points for Classical and 4 points for English. On March 7th the track squad represent- ing Technical left Providence on the 6 o'clock Boston train to fill their engagement with the Boston College High School. On this evening our boys were working under two serious handicaps. In the first place they had been practically without a place to train since the Armory meet, and in the second place, when they came in contact with the square-cornered, 20 lap-to-a-mile track in the Boston College High School building, they were up against something entirely new to them. Nevertheless, our boys fought out every race and by so doing they made a fine showing against the Bostonians. One of the most exciting events of the evening was the running high jump, in which Ellis, Tech's best high jumper and hurdler, pushed Wha- len. a star Boston leaper, to his limit. Cheers for both boys rang through the crowded hall time and again. George Kimball surprised everybody by winning the 300-vard run by at least ten yards. Keen competition was present in the 600-yard run. in which J. Brennan and J. Howe, both members of our squad, won second and third places, respec- tively. After the hard-fought combat, in which the Boston boys secured the larger number of points, both track squads were served with a light lunch in the Boston Col- lege High School basement. The last track meet of the indoor season was held at the Boston High School of Com- merce on March 13th. One of the Boston newspapers said: “For all ’round excellence, fast times and close competition there has not been a finer schoolboy track meet this pres- ent season than the Providence Technical- High School of Commerce meet on the latter’s track yesterday afternoon. While the Com- merce boys starred in the dashes, our boys gave the Bostonians an exhibition in the mile and the shot-put. Jack Clark, followed by Barber and Fort, won the mile run in a man- ner which made the exes of the Boston on- lookers open. Captain Westphal. Joe John- ston and Joe Heaton, all “Tech boys, cap- tured all places in the shot-put. Harold Down-.y, Technical’s star sprinter, made a fine showing against Elm a Smith of the High School of Commerce, who is the indoor cham- pion of New England. The meet came to an TECH REVIEW 57 end with the junior relay race, which was won by our fast team. The members of this team were: Gibbons, Greene, Ruhman, and M archant. Aided by the wonderful running of Elma Smith, the Boston team was finally able to tally about eight more points than Technical. With the close of this meet came the close of one of the most successful indoor seasons Technical has ever witnessed. Although much credit is due the members of the team, still more is due Coach Haddleton, to whom the major share of the season’s success may be attributed. THE ARMORY TRACK MEET THE part of the Armory meet which I shall attempt to describe is the Rhode Island Interscholastic contests. These events were held in the drill shed of the State Armory on the evening of February 21, 1914. before the eyes of over two thousand people. The contending high schools were: Technical, English, Classical, Hope, Morris Heights. Moses Brown, Pawtucket, Cranston, Dor- chester. and North Kingstown. At the start it was known that Technical had a well balanced team, that Pawtucket had a strong team, and that Moses Brown possessed a team which had defeated Technical only a week before. Each of the other schools had a few good men. As “Al” Haddleton, Tech’s famous coach, paced the floor of the drill shed during the beginning of the meet, there was a sly twinkle in his eye. for he intended to sur- prise the other schools. He had kept as a secret that Ellis, a Technical boy. had been jumping very high, and that Downey, another Technical lad. had been showing a great deal of speed in secret practice. As the contest got underway, the twinkle in Coach H addle- ton’s eye was reinforced by a broad smile on his lips, for his well developed machine was fast winning the day. Merrill of Cranston High had been picked to win the fifty-yard dash, but to everybody’s surprise he was easily defeated by Downey of Technical. Pawtucket High had expected to win the high jump, but to their amazement, Ellis of 'Tech- nical leaped over the bar at a height of five feet and seven inches, surpassing all previous records. Captain Westphal of 'Tech won the shot-put. This also was a surprise to all. E. Dorsey and J. Clark, both of Tech, won the first prize in the half-mile and mile runs, re- spectively. 'Thus the victory for 'Technical High School was sure before the final score was reckoned. 'Technical was first with forty- one points and Moses Brown second with sixteen points.

TECH REVIEW 59 H three veterans, a handful of ist ear’s subs and a few re- mits. after constant disap- ointments in our schedule and r tin held, disappointments crowned by the lost of Hoyle, and thru one of the worst playing seasons in years, we emerged last fall with a squad of men who, knowing the sting of defeat, are bound to avenge last year’s champions and start anew our series of football pennants. Far from elated over our three weeks of preliminary practice, during which “Bunny Rogers, playing for the Alumni, made the first football score that had ever been regis- tered against a Tech team on our field, we started the season at Fall River, trouncing Durfee 27—0. We gave them to understand that our low score of the previous year was a poor foundation on which to build hopes of future victories over Tech elevens. From (ireenhalgh’s first terrific crash into the red and black line the game was never in doubt. We gained at will, ami with a line strength- ened by Macrae, put up an impenetrable de- fence. The Morris Heights and Cranston games excited but little interest. The former was practically a scrub game between the mem- bers of the Tech squad, whereas the latter. our first league contest, was a distinct fight for time. Stalling in a most abominable way. Cranston endeavored to hold us to a low score. How far she was successful may In- judged from the final score of 77—7. With four weeks’ practice and the benefit derived from our preliminary games, hoping for the best, expecting the worst, we jour- neyed. October 12. to Waltham to try once more our strength against this seemingly invincible team. The result of the contest and the cause of our defeat were well sum- marized the following day by this newspaper quotation: “The Watch City boys were too much for them.” Burton. Wood and Boyle were our only salvation. Playing like demons, they withstood the fiercest Waltham attacks and were largely responsible for the com- paratively low score. 36—0. Because East Prov idence had unexpectedly dropped from our schedule, our second league game was with Hope. Since an evenly matched contest was now before us. and since Boyle had ! een declared ineligible by Hope less than two days before our game with that school, we entered the conflict with a serious and determined spirit. Its result was appar- ent: Tech, 39; Hope. 0. East Greenwich, like Durfee, holding the opinion that home grounds and succeeding 60 T E C H R E V I E W years would bring victory over Tech, was sorely disappointed on Hallowe’en, since in the bitter cold of October 31 we travelled, with a few supporters, to the academy, and on their own gridiron shut them out with a 27—0 score. The marvelous runs of Ellis easily made him the star in this game. Then came our championship game with Pawtucket. The 1013 football pennant might now be hanging in Tech hall. It isn’t. If it were, we would have gained nothing but the pennant,—a very slight distinction. Now we may profit by our loss. We went into the game with everything to lose and nothing to gain. We lost, not because we were yellow, not because we cjuit when our best men were disqualified, not because we did not know what was expected of us, or did not try to do as much, but because we were not at our best, because we were outgeneral led, because we were handicapped by disqualification, and because we were, as a team, inexperienced. Too much credit cannot be given the Tech line men in this contest. Kimball. Price, Mahoney. McDowell, Hopkins and Kciley formed the formidable Tech wall. Time and time again they held the Pawtucket plungers for a loss only to have to repeat their work a few seconds later when the unexpected again gave our opponents the ball. In the final league contest we broke the hoodoo which Classical had exercised over us for so long by beating them 45—0 in an uninteresting game at Tech field. Our game with Taunton, the last game of the season, will not soon be forgotten, espe- cially by those who played. With Westphal and Boyle in the lineup the team worked like a great machine. Roth of these stars realized that never again would they be in the ranks of the red and gray, and each played a wonder- ful game as the last in his remarkable high school career. Through the failure of the 1913 team to win the pennant, the school has been brought to realize that such an occurrence is possible. Rut with an eleven built about Conyers, Hickey, McLeod, and those of this year’s squad who are to remain in school, nothing but the championship should be expected next year. A. W.

During 1910-11, we collected from all sources $2515.36; 1911-12 yielded us $1791.- 84; 1912-13 brought in $1507.11; and the contributions in 1913-14 to date have amounted to $981.81. Of these amounts, we have received from the alumni, $743.38; from the teachers, $511.52; from friends of the school, $538.89; from rent of field, $42.00; from entertain- ments, sales, etc., $784.53; and from the pupils. $4175.80. Our expenditures, viewed as a whole, are interesting. For the land we have paid so far $3183.58. which does not include almost $500 used to secure the bargain in the first place. Our grading has cost $858.17, and there are two bad holes yet to be filled. The fence ran up to $708.94, and a small area since added to the field, is not enclosed. We have paid in interest $774.66, but as it is now less than a hundred dollars a year, we shall not expend so much in that way in the future. Taxes have cost us $216.13, and there seems no im- mediate prospect of abatement. The bleachers, thanks to the carpentry de- partment. cost but $149.95. Putting in water amounted to $162.76. The tennis court cost $88.53, and we have paid for the efficient care of the whole field, $70. Other expenses for entertainments, printing, etc., have made our total expenditures to date, $6673.11; leaving a balance in the treasury of $122.23, which will reduce our mortgage to $1540. Our goal for next June is the reduction of the mortgage to a thousand dollars, and at our present rate we are sure of success. TECH R E VI EW 65 FT ER the preliminary indoor battery practice Coach Swain issued his call for all candidates to report at “Tech” Field on March 26th. Forty men pre- sented themselves and twenty-one of these make up the present squad. On April 6th the team received its first test in a game with La Salle. The game, which was featured by the heavy hitting of Captain Johnson and the splendid pitching of Frecthy, resulted in a 13—3 victory for Technical. On April 8th and 9th our team received setbacks, losing to Bryant and Stratton 12—8 and to Colt 12—4. These defeats, however. may be attributed to the fact that some of the regulars were not playing. The Interscholastic League opened April 14th. Technical played a fast game with English at Roger Williams Park and won, 2—I. McLaughlin was at his best and struck out nineteen batters and sent in tile tying and winning runs. Pawtucket journeyed to “Tech” Field April 17th and was defeated by a score of 15—4. The next game was with Woon- socket, and Technical, with Frecthy pitching, won easily, 11—6. Since the hitting and fielding of the team and the work of the pitchers has so far been of mid-season form, the outlook for a success ful season is very bright. 66 TECH REVIEW Track Xante Team Wcstphal 1912. 1913, Captain 1914 Macrae Manager 1914 Barber 1914 Brennan 1913, 1914 Chandler 1913 Clark 1913. 1914 Downey 1914 Dorsey 1913, 1914 Ellis ' 1913. 1914 Fort 1913. 1914 Graham 1913 Harris 1914 Heaton 1914 Howe 1914 Hickey 1913 Loegel 1913 Medbery 1911. 1912. 1943 Wood 1913 Football Xante ‘Team Johnson 1911. 1912.

I was in Berlin and —«SI hardly felt like leaving the city without visiting L. (i. Flick, who was now a wealthy chemist with an extensive labora- tory there. Mr. Flick was not in, however, when 1 called, but was expected soon, and while waiting for him in the outer office 1 picked up the paper. News from one’s native land is always cherished by the traveler, and I scanned the pages eagerly. Large headlines concerning national politics attracted my eye first and I read of the success of Senator Cross of Barrington in bringing about the dissolution of the Fish Trust, which had been flourishing under Gorton, who was now head of the Gorton Dried Codfish Company. Other Washington items announced that the new president had named for secretary of war Gen. R. E. Harrington, whose fame had been established ever since he had introduced peace and order into Mexico, and that Lloyd W. Davis, mayor of Lime Rock, R. I., had visited the capitol on Wednesday last and had shaken hands with the president. The news of these who had attained such promi- nence increased my interest, and as I read further I found the paper to In- literally full of accounts of the successes which had at- tended the members of the illustrious Class of 1914 of Technical. Nearly two columns were devoted to a meeting of the Electricians of America, of which Chester Medbery was president. At this meeting H. T. Hargraves delivered his well-known lecture, How Became the Greatest Electrician in t In- World. and E. T. Cox, who had become very rich through his invention of a self-pro- pelled lawn mower, spoke on Work, an Ancient Phenomenon. A column told of a brilliant concert successfully given in New York by the accomplished pianist, Ruth E. Trickett, assisted by Ruth H. Dane, the charming vocalist. I turned to the editorial page, but only to find that Kenneth L. Burden was the editor of the paper and that the circulation manager was none other than George C. Hull. On this page was an inter- esting editorial on the much discussed ques- tion as to whether L. Godat, the celebrated French musician, or R. E. Hay was the greater violinist. Among the social events was an account of a tea given by Mrs. H. A. Macrae in honor or M iss M. E. Middleton and Miss Sarah Coyne, who had just been elected president and vice president, respectively, of the Ameri- can Society of Women’s Rights. Here was also a write-up of a visitors’ night held by the New 'f ork Sportsmen’s Club. Rice, who officiated, announced a very interesting pro- gram, which included cornet solos by Charles f ort, now the leader of a famous band, a short talk on Coins and Their Uses by Par- sons, the wealthy banker, and selections by a large chorus conducted by Farwell, who was now in charge of the music in one of the largest churches in New York. Ladd and Fitzmaurice, the proprietors of the “Greatest Show on Earth,” were the guests of honor and spoke briefly on how to start a circus. C )n the sporting page I found the pictures of Goldstein and Hennessey, who were now playing with marvelous success in the Fed- eral League, which Bill Ghodey was man- aging. On the opposite page were some book reviews, among which I found a report of Erickson’s volume, The Use and Abuse of a Mandolin, one on Malenfant’s masterly treatise on Mechanical Drawing Made Easy. and a glowing account of Cherry’s latest novel. The Iron Steed. At the end of these reviews was a little advertisement which read “Meyer and Mathewson, Books Bought and Sold.” Nearby was another, which said that V. H. Mariani and E. J. Drew had formed a corporation in Boston to place Dr. Chand- ler’s Cure for That Tired Feeling before the public. The advertisements, by tin way, were worthy of special mention, as they brought to mind many of my old classmates. Kromson and Bromson advertised money to loan, Winkler offered his services as a detective, Arnold was an optician whose specialty was monocles, and Cooke was desirous of acting TECH R E VIEW 69 as a guide to exploring expeditions. A firm made up of Miss Cambpell and Miss Wat- rous, financed by Miss Kingman, who had fallen heiress to a vast fortune, was manu- facturing “Campbell Kid post cards. Miss Braman’s business ability had led her to be- come interested in real estate and she was rapidly becoming rich, while Presel was the proprietor of a hair goods store. I was just reading Smith’s half-page ad. concerning his new fad drink. Bottled Watermelon Juice, when I heard a heavy step and hearty laugh behind me. Flick had returned, and after the greetings were over he noticed the paper in my hand. “Ah!” lie exclaimed, “have you been reading about our classmates? Have you heard of Shuman’s success?” I had not. He explained, therefore, that Shuman had succeeded, after years of effort, in producing waterproof hay by grafting the clover and rubber plants together and was now a multi-millionaire. “And Cruick- shank, he exclaimed. “We arc going to open an American branch and he is to be its manager. But come into the other office for a talk.” and I followed his huge form through the doorway, feeling as though I had attended a class reunion. C. M. I). REPORT OF EXCAVATION COMMITTEE April 1, .2506. Latest city excavated. Providence, ancient capital of the State of Rhode Island in the buried land of America. Strange building dug up bearing the name Technical High School. Thought to have been a place for training of the young. April 3, 2506. Found what is believed to have been an in- strument for music in room with the in- scription 3-4 on door. Instrument without doubt dates back to year 1776. Believed to have been used for entertainment of the young. April 4, 2506. Important theory advanced. Found a round box containing small white objects in room with musical instrument. Professor Zyclonman believes musical instrument won- derfully capable of giving forth soothing strains. Round white objects thrown at drowsing students. Proof lies in fact that pieces were found on floor and caught in ledges about room. April 6. 2506. Fashions in hats for many centuries shown in school room. Twenty models mounted on pedestals.

Under Mr. Russell’s careful and painstaking supervision the boys soon rose to a point where they dared give a public ex- hibition. One Monday morning Mr. Weston announced that the Boys’ Glee Club would entertain the school for a few minutes. The Club did so by giving a few comic songs and some old-time ditties. That the assembly thorolv enjoyed their efforts was made mani- fest by the loud applause which followed. Up to this time the boys had held their meetings in the Tech Hall every Tuesday after school. This monotony was varied slightly by the use of the Classical Hall for the next few meetings. The boys enjoyed this because our neighbor's piano was decidedly better than our own. After a few meetings in Classical the Glee Club was discontinued until after the gram- mar school graduations. On Tuesday. Feb- ruary 3. 1014. the Club resumed its work. Up to this time the boys have not engaged in any public or outside affairs, but their hopes for the future are not in the least dimmed. Most of the members of the Club will gradu- ate in June; it will be up to those who remain to hold the Club together next year and to recruit its numbers. GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB Director, Emory P. Russell.

It is the Girls’ Glee Club, and far be it from me that they from whom those celestial emanate are not of the angelic throng, at the picture and judge for yourself. to sax- strains Look The first part of the year the girls spent in preparing for the Children's Crusade, which was presented by the Arion Club and the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Infantry Hall, March 4th. It was a great success, due to their persistence and ability. Such an opportunity is rare, and the girls, realizing this, did their best, conferring honor both upon themselves and Mr. Russell. The music was far from easy and if the girls could attack and conquer that, what may they not do? Although many of its members will leave in June, we feel confident that a bright future of the club is assured. 74 T EC H REVIEW K of interest. lack of funds, id lack of numbers caused the rmise of the Debating Society January of this year. The atmosphere at Tech is not the kind in which this particular sort of organization thrives. Neither Latin nor Greek are studied in this school, and there- fore the master orators of Rome and of Greece arc unknown quantities to the ordi- nary Tech student. Hence this hypothetical ordinary student has not the incentive to learn to debate that have the pupils of other high schools in whose courses is included the study of the “immortal languages. So the society' came to an end, after a year of futile struggle against the inevitable. Hut credit and honor are due the half-dozen members who have stuck to the society through thick and thin to the last, for they have shown that they can fight even against great odds. There is another reason for the disbanding of the Debating Society. Of the twelve mem- bers (twelve out of fourteen hundred is what ratio?) of the society, nine are seniors whose time is completely filled with outside work, school work, “Review” work, class work, athletics, etc. 1’hese seniors to a man firmly believe that a debating society should be main- tained in the Technical High School, but they have not the time for the proper conduct of the society, and the proper discharge of the duties attendant upon the various offices which they hold. The 'Technical High School Debating Society came to an honorable death; may its memory long linger in the minds of those who have been so fortunate as to have had th . ir names upon its roll. W. H. G. ORCH ESTRA 76 T E C H Ii E V I E W F all the organizations in the school none is more deserving of credit than the orchestra. Thru its untiring efforts the musical exercises on Monday mornings are made more enjoyable from the time school opens in September to graduation night in June. Whatever is accomplished by it is brought about thru one inadequate rehearsal a week and the efficient instruction of Mr. Russell. At times it is called upon to perform outside the school, and in this way brings further credit to Tech. Every term finds a change in its membership as a little of the older talent goes out and the increasing new talent enters. Its popularity is shown by its constant growth in numbers. The great benefit to the players themselves can easily lv seen by comparing the violinists, the raw re- cruits of the last row with the veterans of the first row. If we may judge by progress in the past, even greater success must come in the future to our orchestra. Membership: Violin Howard A. Macrae, leader Henry E. Thayer Thomas N. Red fern Robert E.

Fit .mauricc. Some difficulty was met at first in securing the use of the rifle range at the State Armory, but this was overcome by the kind assistance of General Abbott and Colonel Warfield. The latter’s recent death deprived the club of one of its best friends. In spite of certain unavoidable handicaps, which have hindered progress somewhat, the rifle club now has about thirty members, and expects a much larger mem- bership after it has joined the National Rifle Association, which will enable its members to take part in the National Rifle Matches. THE COLLEGE CLUB THE College Club, the only one of its kind in the state, was organized two ears ago by Miss Round. At the first meeting there were about forty pupils present, but by the end of the school term one hundred and fifty-five pupils had joined the society. Since then the club has grown wonderfully until at the present time nearly two hundred pupils are enrolled. The object of the club is to get the mem- bers of Technical interested in schools of higher learning and to plan their courses so that they can go, without any delay, to these colleges after graduating from Technical. The club also finds out for its members the tuition and all other requirements of each college. The club has its own constitution and offi- cers. It is divided into groups; the pupils going to Brown form one group, those going to M. I. T. form another, and so on. These groups have their own chairmen and meet frequently. About once in three months a general meeting of the whole organization occurs. The last meeting was held a few weeks before Christmas, at which new officers were elected. Mr. Trowbridge was made President; Miss Round. Vice President; Mr. Leland, Corresponding Secretary, and Mr. Stilwcll. Recording Secretary. The chair- men of the various groups were elected as follows: Ford. Brown group; Howland. Kingston group; Webb, M. I. T. group, and Miss Rose, Simmons group. E. VV. S. 78 T E C H R E V I E VV THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION R Alumni Association lias made great progress during the past year. Since the organization meeting in December, 1910, we have steadily increased our mem- bership until to-day we number about five hundred and fifty. This year, as in all pre- vious years, we have made a substantial con- tribution to the Athletic Field Fund. During the past year, the Association has held its three regular meetings and, in addition, has celebrated its third birthday. On May 23, 1913, the Third Annual Ban- quet was held in the Assembly Hall. I his was a memorable occasion in the history of the Association, not merely because of the reunion of old friends, but principally because of the presentation to Mr. Weston of an especially fine bas-relief of himself, modelled by Mr. Hatch and cast by the Gorham Com- pany. A short dance program followed the dinner, thus bringing to a close a most enjoy- able evening. The Third Annual Meeting of the Asso- ciation for the election of officers took place on the evening of October 8, 1913. hollow- ing an informal reception to the Class of 1913, the business meeting was called to order by the President, Mr. John II. Forrist. Reports of the Secretary. Helen I. Binning; the Treasurer, Lloyd F. Baker; and the Auditor, Mr. Cushman, were read and duly accepted. Mr. Wood reported for the nominating com- mittee as follows: For President—Wil- helmina R. Babcock. 1911; for Vice-President —Joseph H. Fry, 1901 ; for Secretary—Helen I. Binning, 1912; for Treasurer—Lloyd E. Baker. 1907. 'Phis report was accepted and those officers duly elected. After a short recess, nominations for members of the Execu- tive Committee from the several classes were made as follows: 1894—William C. Mc- Cormick; 1895—Gilbert R. Whittemore; 1896—Albeus P. Murray; 1897—William H. Keirnan; 1899—Mattie Pincus; 1900— Albert S. Hull; 1902—Sarah 1. Shapiro; 1903—Charles S. Arendt; 190-1—Jennie Martin; 1905—Edward S. Spicer; 1906— Margaret illiams; 1908 Everett S. Cripps; 1909—Gertrude M. Brown; 1910—Howard C. Gibbs; 1913—Earl H. Plvmpton. The Secretary was instructed to cast one ballot, thereby electing the above-named committee. Thereupon, Mr. Trowbridge, our new Vice- Principal. was introduced by the President, lie entertained in a most enjoyable fashion with “Readings from Kipling. At the close of the reading, a unanimous and hearty vote of thanks was tendered him. The chair was turned over to the new President, Miss Wil- helmina R. Babcock, and after a vote of thanks to the retiring officers, the meeting adjourned to the rear of the hall to partake of refreshments served by the ladies of the Ad- isory Committee. The Association celebrated its third birth- day by a party held on December 3, 1913. 'Phis is the first birthday party the Association has held, and it was indeed celebrated in a novel way. To begin with, the appropriate invitation sent to each member was designed and painted by the President. The dance music was furnished by an Italian maiden with her hurdy-gurdy. After an informal re- ception. Mr. Weston made a short but inter- esting address. The company was entertained with a promenade; with games, such as the horse race and parlor golf; with vocal and instrumental solos by Messrs. Cann. Metcher. and Hull, and with readings from Burns by Mr. Jamieson. Refreshments were served and a good-night waltz to hurdy-gurdy music concluded the program for the evening. The Fourth Annual Entertainment was given on Tuesday evening. February 24, 1914. 'Phis year, under the efficient direction of Miss Florence H. Slack, the Association pre- sented a farcical comedy in three acts entitled “The Time of His Life. 1 he cast was: Mr. Ix-slie H. Martin. Mr. Edward VV. Hincks, Miss Genevieve Crossley, Miss Ruth Dane. Mr. Elmer I). Nickerson, Miss Helen M. Mathews, Mr. Joseph I’.. Maguire, Mr. Herbert Butterfield, and Mr. William Ghodey. Mr. J. Edward Fitzmaurice acted T E C H R E V I E W 79 as stage manager and Mr. Henry E. Thayer as assistant stage manager. The music was furnished by the members of the Technical High School Orchestra, Howard A. Macrae, leader, under direction «if Mr. Emory P. Russell.

It doesn’t look right and it is apt to “get you in bad with the faculty. 2. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. We were all freshmen once. 3. Don’t be a kid all your life. Try and have a little dignity. If you can’t be dignified, be as dignified as you Can. 4. Don’t be a Grouch. A pleasant smile and a glad hand has won many a friend and a scowl has turned many would-be friends away. 5. Don’t be discouraged, even though you don’t succeed the first time. Keep a stiff upper lip and try again. 6. Don’t butt in. If people want your company they will ask for it. If you are not asked, keep away. 7. Don’t always tell of what you have done. What you have done doesn’t count half as much as what you can do. 8. Don’t waste your “hot air. All of us know that a little goes a long way. 9. Don’t think that you can go out every night in the week and then get an A or a B when your report comes in. Your marks are all worth getting, but you will have to work hard for them. 10. Don’t think you are a man because you are fortunate enough to be able to wear stylish clothes. Clothes never made a man. It is what you have inside that counts, not what you have outside.
