Calgary Alberta. Page Three - Foreword - I N publishing this edition of Tech-Art Record, the editorial staff has made an earnest effort to overcome the shortcomings of the two previous volumes. Special features have been added and others have been dropped; some sections, have been treated from a different viewpoint, some have been reduced in size and some have been increased; all with the aim of making the book a more typical souvenir of student life during the year 1930-31. Whether or not the changes have been worth the extra effort involved is left to you to decide. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, so we hand to you, the students of 1930-31, the finished volume with the earnest hope that it will serve in a small way to keep green in your minds the golden memories of your Technical Institute days. Page Five TECH-ART RECORD Message from the Alberta Minister of Education On the occasion of the publishing of its Year Book, I wish to congratulate the Students’ Association on this further very tangible evidence of the vigorous life of the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art. The rapid but natural and wholesome growth of the Institute since its beginning has been very gratifying, and justifies the prediction that a wonderful work lies before it in training the hands and minds of the future citizens of Alberta for their part in the development of this great Province which is their heritage. PERRIN BAKER, Minister of Education. Page Six TECH-ART RECORD The Provincial Institute of Technology and Art is developing a prestige and securing its place of usefulness in the Province of Alberta. An efficient tool has been given it by the government of the Province in the splendid buildings and the excellent equipment provided. A staff of highly qualified instructors is engaged. A wide program of studies has been provided. But all these are of no avail without students. The student is the centre about which the whole organization revolves. Instruction is of no avail without re¬ ceptive, capable and willing students. The reputation of the institution in the final analysis depends upon the contribution the students make to their generation after leaving the Institute. A student leaves the Institute to try his learning and his powers upon the waiting world. Great things are anticipated. More problems than ever await solution. Never were such premiums placed upon personality, dependability, tact, skill and knowledge as at the present time. Given natural endowments with application and technical training, the world will yield rich rewards. The richest, juciest and most delicious plums grow at the top of the tree. With you, when you leave the Institute, go the best wishes of every member of the staff. Your failures will be regretted, and our sympathy will follow you. Your success will be our joy and every facility will be proffered. May you suffer not from an in¬ feriority complex. May you not be unduly puffed up. May your life be full of human sympathy. May your desire to serve be high. May you have your proper share of this world’s goods and the rewards that may be your due. May your joy and happiness be com¬ plete in the consciousness that you have chosen to serve in a worthwhile vocation, giving a necessary service for which the world will be brighter, better and happier. Page Seven TECH-ART RECORD The Students’ Association During the past terms the Students’ Association has set up a record for efficiency in controlling the multifarious activities of its? members that will be hard to surpass. Organization, financing and carrying on a wide range of student interests has formed the chief part of the Association’s work during the year, and in every case the business has been done in a manner that is above criticism. Since the organization virtually dies each spring and rises anew in the fall, it was but natural that the first executive should be composed almost entirely of second year students who had had the opportunity of seeing the previous year’s work conducted. Valuable groundwork in preparing for a successful term was done by Bob Rae, president, and his assistants, who were responsible for most of the organization work in connection with student activities. They gave school life a fine start, and when their terms of office expired they continued to give their support and counsel to the first year students who, to a large extent, filled their positions. The depressed financial condition of the Association during the 1930-31 term gave rise to an urgent need for a program of economy. Both executives worked hard in their efforts to keep down expenses, and the results of their efforts may be judged from the fact that the third term will probably see the Association in a much better financial condition than it was at the same time last year. In the matter of conducting general and executive meetings, the Association’s officers have excelled themselves. Executive meet¬ ings, especially, have been carried on with efficiency and dispatch. The pros and cons of many questions have been fully debated, but only rarely were the meetings permitted to drag on this account. General meetings have usually been brief. The work of the executive and the various committees has tended to eliminate long discussions at the weekly gatherings, and there has been noticed a growing feel¬ ing that the executive should look after all business, leaving the general meetings almost entirely for entertainment purposes. Taken all round, the Students’ Association has made a very creditable showing this year. Its biggest triumphs have been in handling its financial problems, but in looking after athletics, dances, the annual banquet, literary programs and school publications, the Association has met with great success.

Page Eleven TECH-ART RECORD Finances Re-organized At some time or another, almost every government that has ever existed has been rightfully accused of being lax in its methods of handling certain branches of its finances, so it was not surpris¬ ing to find that the Institute student government, while painfully efficient at extracting membership fees at the beginning of the term, would have to plead guilty to a charge of gross negligence in making special collections from students and also in the matter of expenditures. As a result, the successive treasurers, Michael Clarke and Crawford Goode, with the capable assistance of Mr. W. H. Broughton, have given the financial system of the Students’ As¬ sociation a thorough vacuum cleaning and have added improve¬ ments that at the present time appear to make the student cashbox, water, fire and accident proof. The appointment, at the beginning of the year, of Louis Litchinsky as sales manager for the association was a preliminary step in the clean-up. By placing all sales and collection work for Christmas cards, rings, crests, school pins, caps, pennants and berets in the hands of one man, the association has insured itself against small leakages in the accounts, and at the same time the sales manager has sufficient recognized authority to make collect¬ ing easier. Leakages in expenditures have been completely stopped by the belated introduction of the order system, whereby no merchant has a claim against the association for goods delivered without an order signed by the president and secretary. The checking by a member of the staff, of all materials delivered to the association, has also reduced chances of leakages, and a stricter check on ticket sales for dances and other functions has considerably in¬ creased the revenue this year. Page Tivelve A Matter of History While the century-old universities of Cambridge, Oxford and Edinborough, and even those of Eastern Canada, may consider anniversaries of less than fifty years hardly worth giving attention to, a comparatively new seat of learning in a comparatively new prov¬ ince, may be pardoned for voicing its jubilation at having attained the age of fifteen years. Fifteen years is quite a long span of time ir a city that has only recently celebrated its own fiftieth anniversary, so we take pride in proclaiming the fact that fifteen years ago the Alberta Provincial Institute of Technology and Art began its useful contribution to the educational world. No elaborate buildings were erected to house the infant Institute when it was introduced to an unappreciative public of Calgary in 1916. A borrowed schoclhouse cradled the new institution, and a small staff of teachers nursed it through troubles and trials in plenty until today it stands as a pioneer in a new branch of education, a pioneer of which the Calgary public can speak with pride. Perhaps it is that the bustling West breeds in its sons little feeling of reverence for those who have pioneered in such matters as education, or perhaps it is that the school has been too busy going forward to look back on its past; at any rate, the student of today can find no imposing portraits of the men who helped to found the Institute, adorning the corridor walls. The loss may not be so great as it first seems, however, since on the present teaching staff are still three members who helped give the Institute its start in life. The native shyness of Mr. James Fowler, the earnest desire to remain young evidenced by Mr. Lindley H. Bennett, and the natural reticence of Mr. Leo E. Pearson, have all combined to keep from general circulation among the students the information that they were members of the first Technical Institute teaching staff. It is true, however, that the year 1931 marks the fifteenth anniversary of their first association with the school. Many events have occurred since 1916, and while the triumvirate of “originals” has not spent the entire fifteen years in the ser¬ vice of the school, it has watched happenings of outstanding importance to the Institute take place from time to time. The borrowed buildings in East Calgary have given way to the imposing structure now standing on the North Hill; the places of thousands of returned soldiers, who gained a new start in life through the medium of the school, have been taken by a new gener¬ ation of men who know little of war; the meagre list of courses first offered has grown to be an, almost complete index to the technical trades conducted in the West; and the leadership of the school has passed from the hands of Dr. J. C. Miller, through Mr. Dolan, Mr. L. F. Fyles and Mr. J. H. Ross, to Dr. W. G. Carpenter, who, since 1924, has been responsible for piloting the Institute to a firm position among the educational institutions of Canada. Some time in the future, when the Institute grows hoary with age and soaked with tradition, a mere matter of fifteen years will be of little concern to the school’s historians. Today it represents a complete lifetime, during which the Institute has climbed from feeble beginnings, through bold experiments, to triumphant success. With this in mind, the students and teachers of the Institute feel that they need make no excuse for celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of that which only three present members of the staff witnessed —the inception of a new type of higher education that gives to every man a chance to make a niche for himself in today’s mechanized world. Page Thirteen Tech-Art Record 1930-31 Edition It is an old college custom, one that probably originated in the days when Archimedes taught Greek Normal students, that at any seat of learning worthy of the name there must be published an annual volume purporting to be a record of the school year, but more often containing a long series of thinly-disguised wisecracks at the teachers, glowing remarks concerning the successes won by the school during the year, and modest alibis and excuses for those activities which failed to gain a place in the sun. In keeping with the established tradition the Institute entered the Year Book publication field three years ago, and now presents its third volume to the world. A hurried glance through the pages of the book reveals little of the tremendous amount of energy expended on the publication. Finished articles by the editorial stafl and contributors give few indications of the patient searches for accurate information, or the long hours spent in wrangling with words in order to produce readable pieces of writing. Between the lines of the biography section there is a story of diligent hunting for facts, systematic checking of class lists, and careful correcting of printers’ proofs. The advertising department gives but a slight glimpse of the endless detail work involved in selling advertising space, and the important business of managing the financial side of the publication receives small mention in the completed volume. The 1930-31 volume of Tech Art Record met with a full quota of difficulties and delays, but they have been overcome by the smallest staff the publication has ever had. The work received a late start due to the seeming impossibility of securing an ed itor, but the problem was solved by the return to Tech of Tom Moore, who brought to the task considerable experience gained through editing two volumes of The Emery Weal, publishing the Institute’s first Year Book, and acting as a newspaper correspondent and free lance writer for several years. In an endeavor to carry out continuous improvements to Tech Art Record, a considerable re-arrangement of the book has been made; certain departments have been enlarged, and others condensed, and special attention has been given to the art work. The em¬ bellishment of the volume was conducted as a class project by the Art department, the cover was designed by Miss Alma Cook, and nearly every Art student contributed to the work under the direction of Mr. Pearson and Mr. Leighton. As a student activity, the publishing of the Technical Institute Year Book ranks with the most important sponsored by the Associa¬ tion. Scores of students have, in one way or another, been actively associated with the work, and while the task has been hard, it has provided considerable enjoyment and instruction. Mention could be made of several ways in which students have benefited from their contact with the Year Book, but enough has been said already. As in the daily papers, so with Tech Art Record, “the news is the thing,” and since it is the lot of newspaper and Year Book staffs that they stay religiously in the background while devoting their energies to recording the events and activities of others than themselves, this article must come to a close.

And furnishes our memory With records of our acts.” Newspaper reading has become such a universal habit that it has created an appetite for mental food dished up in this particu¬ lar form. The newspaper habit has invaded the educational field, and the school or college paper has now become a necessary adjunct of institutional life. Through the medium of his school paper the individual student is kept in touch with the multitudinous activities of the modem educational institution; he becomes acquainted with the doings of the various groups formed for study or recreation; he has the pleas¬ ure of seeing the contribution of his own group’s interests displayed among the rest; he is made aware of current opinion that may affect his own action; he absorbs, unconsciously, a school spirit which reacts beneficially for his own and the common good. In The Emery Weal, the monthly paper of this Institute, we have an ideal newspaper for the constituency that it serves. The busy, lazy, or otherwise occupied student, by reading the news items of this paper can find out what has happened, what ought to have hap¬ pened, what is going to happen, what may happen, what is not likely to happen, or what must not happen in connection with the Stu¬ dents’ Association, the athletic and sports clubs, the Argonauts or the Skookum Tillicums. In addition to the words of wisdom given in the editorials, he is supplied with readable, original articles on social, scientific and industrial questions that tend to enlarge his outlook in connection with the world’s work. A sprinkling of topical jokes with local applications, provides an outlet for that good-natured banter, without which a school paper would be incomplete. Three features of the past year deserve special mention. In the first place, the adoption of a new headline cut has given more style to the lay-out. In the next place, the publication of a double-size paper at Christmas was a happy idea, well carried out. Last, but by no means least, is the fact that the editor this year has been drawn from the ladies—and she “delivered the goods” as an editress. The Emery Weal is now in its sixth year of publication, and appears to have established itself as an integral part of the student life and activity. In spite of the fact that it has to enlist almost an entirely new staff each year, it soon gets down to the business of gathering and disseminating the school news. Like all good newspapers, it appears on time, and is eagerly bought. For keeping up the good record of a high standard of production and a good business management, the 1930-31 staff is warmly congratulated by the V ear Book on behalf of the students and teachers of the Institute, —lTh. b.

Steam Page Eighteen At no other time in the history of the Technical Institute have athletes wearing the Green and Gold colors attracted so much at¬ tention from the student body and the sporting public of Calgary. In the two major winter sports, hockey and basketball, the Institute teams made enviable reputations, and while the early ending of the school term prohibited the students catering teams in other athletic leagues, they developed within the school a remarkable interest in sporting endeavor. Athletics during the Fall term were controlled by the capable hands of Tom Gibson, and in the second term by j. R. Anderson. Both of these students were well suited for the office of athletic manager and they did their work in admirable fashion, with the assist¬ ance of C. A. Choate, of the staff athletic committee. At the beginning of the term the school athletes were unfortunate in not having a coach for either the basketball team or the hockey team. The situation was soon remedied, however, through the generous assistance of Mr. Choate, who undertook to guide the basketball team through the league, and by J. H. Logan, a former student, who revived the hockey team from a slump and piloted it to its second Alberta Collegiate title. Throughout the schedule in both leagues the Institute players earned a well deserved reputation for clean playing and good sports¬ manship. Disagreeable incidents that all too frequently mar hockey games were noticeably absent, when Tech was on the ice. In basketball the Institute players, while sometimes credited with employing rough tactics, were received by Calgary sportsmen as one of the gamest and most sporting teams in the intermediate league. Page Nineteen Collegiate Hockey Team Collegiate League Hockey By beating the Normal School 7-5 in a final series of two games that were as closely contested as anything seen in local hockey circles during the season, Tech hockeyists won their second provincial championship and retained possession of the Picardy Cup, emblematic of the Alberta Collegiate title. The final triumph came after the team had fought stub¬ bornly through a season that was marked with disappointments, internal friction and trouble. The team began the league schedule without a coach and with very little support from the student body, but after J. H. Logan, an ex-student, started to devote his spare time to guiding the team through its battles, prospects began to brighten, and at the final game close to 200 students packed the sidelines to cheer the warriors to victory. In the league schedule the squad was defeated by the Nor¬ mal School, but won the right to meet the west wing students in the finals by eliminating Mount Royal College. The loss of Maynard, one of the team’s star defence players, made things look black just before the finals, but the coach tightened up the team and allayed the player’s fears to such an extent that they came through both games with one-goal margins. There can be no doubt that this year’s hockey team has been more than a credit to the school. The class of play was wonderful and spectators from the city who saw the finals re¬ marked that it was almost equal to that seen in senior amateur circles. To the players and coach the student body extends its heartiest congratulations on their notable achievement in win¬ ning the Picardy Cup two years running. “MATTIE” WOOD, Goal—Played two years for Tech and one with P. T. Maroons. Considered by Junior League officials to be one of the best junior custodians in the city. “SHORTY” TALLMAN, Goal—A iv ' ce net-minder who can stop them from close in. Goggles handicap him and he is not so good on long drives. Played for Tech last year. “RED” WRIGHT, Left Defence—Noted for his solo rushes and the strong shot he packs in his stick. Wore the Normal School tri-color last season. “SPEED” MAYNARD, Left Defence—A wonderful stick-hand¬ ler, who didn’t appear in the finals owing to sickness due to over-training. Besides being guard for Tech, he was also on the senior Maroon lineup. “SCOTTY” MacKAY, Right Defence—Developed a nice-working hook-check with High R ; ver juveniles in 1927-28, and used it to carry the Green and Gold to victory. “JAY” BELL, Right Wing—A spectacular and speedy player whose only fault was failure to watch his man enough in back-checking. Played with Hussar juniors last season. “BUZZ” JONES, Centre and Captain—Combined Tghtning speed with clever stick-handling and head work. Is also a mem¬ ber of the 1931 edition of the Calgary Canadians. “DOUG” CORRIE, Left Wing—A dependable shot, who scored most of the team’s goals this season. Graduated from Fernie Rotarians. “JEFF” JEFFRIES, Right Wing—A n ' ce hook-checker and one of the top goal scorers, but had a habit of wandering from his position. Second year playing for Tech. “TINY” SASSO, Centre—A neat shooter who plays a defensive style at pivot position. An individualist. Spent 1929-30 season with Exshaw juniors. “PETE” GORDON, Left Wing—A fine combination player with an effective stick around the goal. Was on the line-up of the Red Deer juniors last year. “PAT” PATTERSON, Left Wing — Has makings of a good player, but lacked the weight necessary to be a regular on the team. Played with Ex-King George juveniles, Vancou¬ ver, last season. Page Twent p EXjlHiJI mat , Goal M. Wood- Goal TW Hay, AEWritjhf, CALGARY AND PROVINCIAL JUNIOR COLLEGIATE HOCKEY CHAMPIONS W.

Which probably accounts for the fact that the basketball team that represented the first year drafting, ma¬ chine shop, steam and tractor classes battled through one of the most hotly-contested house league series that Tech has ever witnessed and emerged triumphant over other squads that were thoroughbred in their make-up. The inter-class hoop league was the only house sport that functioned properly this term. It provided basketball fans at the school with some nice exhibitions of leather tossing before the Intermediate league commenced, and it also made it an easy task to pick players for the school team. After a regular schedule which contained games of un¬ usually high quality, the first year composites and the senior electrical aggregations entered a three-game final series for the house championship. The first encounter was won by the elec¬ tricians with a wide margin, the second went to the composites by a single point, and the last battle was decided after the two teams had fought through forty minutes of hectic basketball to finish with a 25-24 tally in favor of the composites. The Zibrick and Moore pennant, emblematic of the house title, was presented at the banquet by Dr. Carpenter, the re¬ cipient being J. R. Anderson, captain of the team. The players who made up the winning team were: J. R. Anderson, F. A. Love, J. Rees, G. Carr, W. Schoeppe, H. Buck and W. Paterson. In the days of old, when Mr. Young was the baby member of the staff and Mr. Fowler was living a blissful existence as an ordinary science teacher, the game of volleyball was a staid and venerable indoor sport which served the utilitarian purpose of checking the growth of waistlines among members of the teaching staff. Annual conflicts between staff and students (at which the staff invariably appeared as victors) first attracted students’ attention to the game, and after a time it became a popular pastime, not only with the old men on the staff, but with the young men of the student body. Last year the sport migrated from the gymnasium to a court between the main building and shops, and interest promptly increased. This year volleyball was placed before the students by the appearance on the court of “Squeedunk” and “Mildew,” which names, translated into English, appear to mean Electrical 1 A and 1 B. There followed a series of noisy and exciting games which served to give indigestion to the Normal students eating in the nearby Cafeteria. At the present time there is good promise of a house league being formed. Several classes are already in shape for league games, and several others will be ready as soon as their members become sufficiently efficient in the art of. argumenta¬ tion to hold their own in the vocal conflicts that invariably run parallel to the physical battles. Page Twenty-five TECH-ART RECORD Mkm7777fflfo%77Z9T7Vmn Soccer Football Soccer football was introduced to Tech early in the term when Mr. Fowler’s Slippery Solons engaged the Sloppy Senior Students in an exhibition of the grand old sport of shin kicking. The advent of v inter quickly put an end to the game, however, and it was put : nto the limbo of forgotten things, such as mathematical equations, chemical formulae and last year’s girl friend, until early spring, when a group of hardy and enthusias¬ tic youths began kicking the sphere around the lot. At time of writing almost daily practices are being held, much to the annoyance of the baseball fans who also hold dail • practices on the diamond that overlaps the soccer field. First year motors have promised to field a strong eleven, and the electrical gang claims that it numbers some chronic kickers in its ranks, so the organization of a fine inter-class league is in¬ dicated. At any rate the game is providing a large group o. students with a healthy pastime as an antidote to the daily routine of lectures and shop work. Rifle Shooting Rifle shooting at the Institute has enjoyed considerable popularity during the last few years and although during the last term organized competitions have decreased in number, there has been considerable interest shown in the sport, or science. ' Early in the season scores of students flocked down¬ stairs to the ranges, usually on a Wednesday evening, when the Argonauts provided an added magnet to the marksmen. Several students who had received rifle shooting training in cadet corps in the province, provided yeoman service to the novices by assisting Mr. A. C. Wagner, staff godfather to the sport, in getting things started and in giving instruction. A few turkey shoots between members of individual classes were staged with great success and at time of writing there is promise of some good competitions being organized before the year ends. Modern Sport Reaches Tech. The annual struggle for the Marble Shooting Championship of the Institute has been called off this term to make room for the most modern of sports—Yo-Yo. The strenuous ait of making a spool of wood run down one side of a piece of string and back up the other has reached astounding heights at the School and some of the feats performed by aspirants to the Yo-Yo title have been miraculous. The game was given a stait by Bill Keeling, who made his little doo-jigger run down a long string from the thrid floor to a level with the chemistry room windows. The Yo-Yo came back with such startling rapidity, due mainly to the fact that the electrical gang was working in the laboratory with the windows open, that Bill has laid claim to a new speed championship. Jack Bishop followed by upholding the honor of the elec¬ tricals by setting an endurance record of 3.997 Yo-Yo trips without a rest. The reason his Yo-Yo didn’t reach the 4,000 mark was that it got so dizzy it tried to climb the wrong side of the string and was hopelessly tangled. Niven and his aviators then took a hand in the business by doing some high altitude Yo-Yo-ing about 2000 feet up; the drafters have laid claim to success by measuring the stress, strain and mental agony undergone by a Yo-Yo during its reciprocal movements; and the tractor gang started to build the biggest Yo-Yo in captivity, but it got warped, due to the action of hot air when Tommy Lees started an argument in the vicinity. Nothing remains hut to stage a Yo-Yo battle between Tech and Normal to decide the all-round athletic championship of the building. Normal beat Tech at basketball, and the Green and Gold washed out the TrTi-color on the hockey rink, so there is ample excuse for a series of some sort to clean up the problem, and Yo-Yo ought to provide the subject for a really hectic series- Page T l venty-six NOSEDIVE ‘A HISTORY OF FLIGHT FORffflCHT 8ACKSICH MONKEY TRICKS GOING DOWN Page Twenty-seven TECH-ART RECORD Page TTventy-eight Graduation Banquet When lech staged its Third Annual Graduation Banquet in the Elizabethan Rooms of the Hudson’s Bay Co. store, the whole of Calgary heard about it, and the whole of Calgary will probably remember it for many a long day. Not only was the the banquet the peak of a long list of dinners that started with a smoker nine years ago, but it was one of the biggest, noisiest, happiest gatherings of students that the city has ever seen. A distinguished list of prominent Albertans were present as guests of the Students’ Association, and they contributed to a pro¬ gramme of addresses that were sparkling with words of wit and serious thoughts. F. G. McNally, supervisor of schools for Alberta, was the principal speaker as sponsor of the toast to the Institute, and Dr. W. G. Carpenter ably answered with a statement that showed the guests the tremendous asset that the Institute represented to Calgary. Mayor Andy Davison brought up the rear of the procession of speakers, but, like the snake dance afterwards, he ended the proceedings with a bang. His Irish wit carried him to the hearts of those present, but it is feared that he left the impression that he shared Mr. Fowler’s nationality by emphasizing his appreciation of the fact that Tech does not cost Calgary a cent. H. P. Wright, F. G. Young and F. G. Robertson covered themselves with glory as they proposed and responded to toasts on behalf of the staff. W. J. Slinn, Bob Rae and 1 om Lees proved that students sometimes are masters of speech, and E. A. Chiswell did his stuff for the Alumni Association. Among the guests who didn’t have to work for their dinner were: Joe H. Ross, principal of the Technical High School and former vice-principal of Tech: Gordon E. Leighton, managing-director of the Calgary Albertan; A. C. Fraser, president of the Calgary Board of 1 rade; Dr. E. W. Coffin, principal of the Normal School; J. E. Worsley, president of the Trades and Labor Council, and Jack James, president of the Normal Students’ Union. Among the men who really had to work for their eats was Mr. James Fowler, whose witty remarks and canny humor almost convinced the students that it must be fun to be taostmaster. The crimes that Mr. Fowler committed in the name of authority at the Institute were forgiven when he introduced George Wallace, “Tiny” Walrod, Miss Mary Makar, Miss Molly Pierce, Norman Ken¬ nedy, Ben Platt, Laurie Soper and Clem Elliot, all of whom provided a musical programme that had no equal. After the banquet came the scenes that made nearly all Calgary get out of bed and go down town to see the fun. Skeptics didn’t believe that the students could get away with it, but after the first shock even the husky Calgary policemen started giving their protec¬ tion to the snake-dance instead of the city. The band started things moving and the Alumni dance at Hickman’s Hall finished it, and in between the two there was more fun and excitement than a stampede parade. It speaks well for the students who organized the snake-dance that during the entire evening there was not a scrap of damage done to property along the route, and the only trouble that was experienced was started by people not in the snake. The troubles were small, however, and quickly removed altogether so that the school was given an unblemished record for the night. Next year the snake will probably be organized again, and it rests with present first year men to see that it goes over with a bang, and, like this year, without damage or trouble. Page T n enly-nine .TECH-ART . .anWm. . - Institute Brass Band - Music has always enjoyed an important though troublous place in student life at the Institute, but this year the trials and tribula¬ tions which, in the past, have formed the lot of student musicians, were reduced considerably by the formation of a brass band in place of the usual large orchestra. The band not only gave the large number of student players a chance to appear in public, but it gave the less experienced men opportunities to improve their playing by working in company with expert musicians. Decision to organize the band was made after it was found to be impossible to promote a symphony orchestra, due to the lack of string instrument players. Music was provided for the first few practices through the courtesy of the band of the First Battalion, Calgary Regiment, and after a few preliminary delays the group got away to a flying start. From its first rehearsal, the history of the band has been a steady march of progress. The organization secured its own music, and the enthusiasm shown by the members increased to such an extent as the weeks went by that spasmodic practices were turned into regular rehearsal meetings. Steady and rapid improvement in execution put the band in shape to make its debut at the annual banquet, and in spite of adverse conditions, the squad made a wonderful showing. On occasion, the band has filled the bill as a pep producer at basketball games, and in many other ways it has proved itself to be a real asset to the Students’ Association. Encouragement and support have been given by the students, and the band members have shown their appreciation by laying the foundation of what appears to be the most promising branch of musical endeavor that Tech students have ever attempted. Institute Dance Orchestra While not quite as successful in its work as the school band, the orchestra found a ready place in student affairs and provided on several occasions some interesting entertainment for the students. The lack of sufficient stringed instruments forbade the formation of a symphony orchestra, but a peppy dance aggregation was organized. Besides playing at Lit. programs, the musicians supplied the music at several Tech dances, and their services were also obtained by the Normal School on one occasion. Leadership of the dance orchestra was in the hands of E. G. “Shorty” Tallman, and the following members completed its per¬ sonnel: L. C. Goode, banjo; W. J. Summerby, saxophone; J. A. Gordon, trombone; W. Schultz, drums; R. Alexander, saxophone; R. Elliot, drums; F. Love, trumpet; F. Walker, trombone. Page Thirty Student Association Dances The strenuous art of terpsichore has always enjoyed great popularity among Tech students, so it was hardly a surprise when it was seen that the school dances occurred nearly every two weeks. From the moment the Alumni Association started the Tech social season on its yearly whirl with its election dance, the socials have been the most largely patronized events sponsored by the Students’ Association, and, contrary to the experience of the previous year, they have been financial successes. If for no other reason, the social committees deserve to be complimented on the efficient way in which they have handled business matters pertaining to dances. Not only have they succeeded in reducing the prices of tickets, but they have been able to show a sub¬ stantial profit on nearly every social. The fact that charges could be adjusted to suit the present economic situation, and a profit shown at the same time, speaks well for the efficiency of Tom Lees, Bob Rae and their henchmen. From the social angle, Tech dances are in a class by themselves. Almost every girl attending Normal will vouch for that statement. They have been thoroughly enjoyable from the start, and the free-and-easy atmosphere that permeates the Assembly Hall when dances are in progress has made them ideal ice-breakers, so far as student friendships are concerned. As colorful events they have had no equal. Besides seeing novel decorations festooned around the hall from time to time, the dancers have had the latest creations of the D. D. D.’s flashed before their eyes, as changing seasons demanded changing wardrobes. Stampede Exhibit At the Calgary Stampede last year the Institute arranged an exhibit that turned out to be the centre of attraction in the Exhibits Building. Teachers and ex-students co-operated to make the display a fitting representation of the work done at the school, and how well they succeeded may be realized from the fact that this year the school intends to exhibit on a much larger scale. The booth was arranged in the form of a room, draped with crepe paper in the school colors, in which were pieces of appara¬ tus from every department in the Institute. I hree Crookes tubes connected to a big spark coil served to attract attention and dis¬ organize the short-wave radio station next door, and sectionalized tractors and engines assisted in the work. Easy chairs were provided for tired and weary students and ex-students who wandered in, and the record kept by the Alumni Association showed that large numbers of former students renewed old acquaintances at the booth. Both teachers and ex¬ students attended the exhibit during the entire week. Folders advertising the school were written by an ex-student and printed by courtesy of the Turner Valley Observer. School calendars were also provided to satisfy the public craving for “something for nothing.” T. A. Hedley was in charge and this year he is planning another exhibit that will place the school before the public eye. Watch for it in the grandstand building. Page Thirty-two .TECH -ART RECORD Men’s Dramatic Society Out of a discussion which took place at a meeting of the Argonaut Club, there sprang the idea of forming a Men’s Dramatic Society, and with Mr. Rees acting as mentor, the organization has gone through its first year of existence with a fair measure of success. L. C. Cabelka, president, and L. Soper, secretary, capably handled ' the club’s business during the term, and instruction was given at the Wednesday evening meetings by Mrs. Skene. Large attendances at the early meetings testified to the enthusiasm of the students who became interested in the club. There were ' ‘strange things done” on the Assembly Hall stage as the amateur thespians recited and acted everything from Service to Shakespeare under the able direction of Mrs. Skene and Mr. Rees, whose combined efforts at coaching did much to add to the interest in the work. The difficulty experienced in finding a play with an all-male cast, and the numerous delays involved in the search, killed the in¬ terest of many of those who joined the club, but at time of writing there is every indication that the men who stayed with the organiza¬ tion will soon present at the Association meetings something worthwhile in the way of dramatic work. The policy that kept the men’s and women’s dramatic organizations separate nearly nipped the newest of Tech students’ interests in the bud, but in spite of the diffi¬ culties, the enthusiasts have done some effective work by establishing dramatics as a section of student activities. Weekly Literary Programs After a vacation of more than two years, the Stunt Cup was put back into service again as a prize for the class presenting the best Lit. progremme during the term. The last group to win the cup in the days when it was competed for at the annual banquets, was an Electrical class, so perhaps it was fitting that it’s reappearance as an inter-class trophy should be marked by an Electrical class victory. Out of a long series of concerts that provided the Students’ Association with entretainment of varying degrees of quality, the first year Electrical department was picked as the winner of the Stunt Cup. There can be no doubt but that the choice of the judges was a popular one. The programme not only brought to light individual talent of the highest order, but provided several original ideas that easilly placed it above the ordinary run of weekly presentations. Taken on the whole, the type of entertainment provided by the classes this year has been exceptionally fine. Some of the earlier efforts were hardly up to the mark, but popular opinion quickly stopped all tendencies towards the vulgar. Classes entered into the spirit of rivalry that was fostered by the competition, and even those groups that were cursed with a lack of experienced entertainers stepped out and presented really worth-while programmes. Almost every form of entertainment, from comedy stunts and black magic, to the fine rendering of classical music, has found a place in the concerts. At the conclusion of the class competitions, the literary committee was forced to look in other quarters for the weekly entertain¬ ments. It was here that groups such as the Emery Weal and Year Book staffs came to the rescue, and on one occasion the Normal School made a goodwill gesture by taking charge of a concert. Mr. McCalla, of the Normal staff, also filled a gap in a very interesting manner with a lantern slide talk on the trees of Western Canada and the Pacific coast. Page Thirlv-lhree .TECH -ART RECORD - Argonaut Club The least aggressive of all student societies has enjoyed, during the 1930-31 term, one of the most successful seasons it has ever known in its four years of existence. The unofficial motto of the Argonaut Club, “No work and much play keeps the grey hairs away,” was faithfully adhered to by most of the members who usually did nothing more strenuous than tell Mr. Wright, staff representative, and the various officers, what should be done. The sporting side of Argonaut Club life was confined chiefly to the shuffling of cards. Every game that Hoyle ever chronicled, and a few that he didn’t, found a place at the Wednesday even¬ ing meetings of the Argonauts. The members also became pro¬ ficient in the art of making doughnuts and cookies disappear with startling rapidity and the speedy manner in which the coffee pot lost its contents proved that the club’s frequent warm arguments and debates were wonderful stimulators of thirst. It was in the intellectual branch of its activities that the club was extremely fortunate. A long list of speakers addressed the society on a wide range of subjects. New slants on well known subjects were given to the members, and out-of-the-way events and activities that are not often brought into the glare of publicity, were touched upon in the series of interesting and edu¬ cational talks. Among the speakers who contributed to this part of the Argonauts’ activities were: F. N. Rhodes, founder of the club; H. J. Rees, Mrs. Skene, C. A. Choate, S. Simons, W. H. Broughton, A. W. Rider, W. A. Pinkerton, A. A. Peebles, J. O. Howells, A. W. Baxter, Tom Moore and W. R. Davis. The officers who so ably conducted club affairs this term were: F. Rubie, president until January; A. T. Staples, secretary during the same period; F. C. Cabelka, spring term president, and W. J. Summerby, spring term secretary. A large proportion of the credit for the successful year enjoyed by the Argonauts must also be given to Mr. H. P. Wright, who, as a member of the staff social committee, was untiring in his efforts to bring the best speaking talent available before the members. Page Thirty-four Skookum Tillicum Club During the 1930-31 term the Skookum Tillicum society experienced what has undoubtedly been the most successful period of its short existence. Membership was nearly doubled, and the interests of the members have been extended to include not only physical and social activities, but dramatic work as well. Leadership of the club during the first school term was vested in Miss C. Dooley, with Mrs. W. G. Carpenter as honor¬ ary president and Miss C. Smith as staff representative. Miss E. Todd was vice-president and Miss J. Alexander acted as secretary-treasurer. Other interests forced Miss Dooley to resign office in January and at the same time Miss Alexander resigned her position due to ill health. Miss Todd took over the reins of control. Miss F. Scott became vice-president, and Miss E. Lea Wilson acted as secretary-treasurer. Committees within the club were headed by the following students: Miss E. Kniss and Miss L. Kane, social conveners; Miss M. Golding, educational committee, and Miss D. Savage, sports committee. Largely due to the efforts of Miss Smith, who devoted un¬ tiring energy to the club’s work, many pleasant evenings were spent by the members. Speakers who addressed the club included Dr. Carpenter, Miss Church, district commissioner of Girl Guides, and Mrs. Skene, who gave many interesting talks on dramatic work. Through the co-operation of Mrs. Skene the club had been able to devote considerable time to dramatics, the latter term be¬ ing set aside almost entirely for the study of dramatic work. Several plays are being rehearsed and everything looks good for the successful presentation of a series of dramatic programs. Page Thirty-five - Teaching Staff - It is improbable that any other educational institution in Canada could show such a heterogeneous assembly of men and women as go to make up the Technical Institute teaching staff. Like the wise men of old, they have come from all points of the compass. Canada, United States, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland have each sent their quota to swell the joint stock of wisdom and ex¬ perience that is available to the students. In appearance and disposition the members of the staff are as far apart as are their places of origin. Imposing stateliness walks side by side with excessive compactness; jovial rotundity contrasts strangely with slim agility; genial fatherliness and lean hungryness, ponderous solidarity and dainty dapperness, clam-like reticence and excessive volubility, perfect precision and rough- and-readiness—all are extremes that are exemplified by the solons on the staff Their training, too, has been as varied as are their personalities. Some have trodden the pedagogical pathway through Normal School and University; some have been through the discipline of trade apprenticeship; some have received varied training in industry; some have had technical training in the army or navy; some are graduates of Schools of Technology and Art, including graduates of this Institute—and all have gained much common sense from the hard school of practical experience. Long years of experience lie heavily on the shoulders of the staff, yet its members manage to retain a youthful spirit and enter whole-heartedly into all the vagaries of student life. They form a democratic crew that has gained for the School a reputation for friendly and wholesome relationships between staff ' and students. They have played the students at soccer, and lost; they have played them at volleyball, and repaid the debt; and on occasion they have assumed the roles of actors to provide entertainment at weekly Lit. meetings. Staff assistance to student activities has been valuable. The Argonaut Club and the Skookum Tillicums owe much of their suc¬ cess to work done by instructors, and in athletics the students would have been lost without the cordial co-operation of staff members. They form a diversified group so far as their personalities, training, experience and origin are concerned, but they have proved that their connection with the Institute binds them together in a common endeavor—to be of service to every student and to make life at the school more happy and enjoyable than it would be without their krndly help and sympathy.

This year Miss Maude MacGowan, the little lady who put the brogue of the Emerald Isle into the correspondence department, decided that it was up to her, so she stepped out and changed her name to M rs. Jack Stehr. There has been evidence of romance in the Institute halls before, but perhaps it has never reached the peak that Miss MacGowan pushed it to. Teachers have married ladies the school never knew and teachers have wedded former teachers, but this is the first time that one of the stenographers has entered into partnership with an ex-student. Everybody knows Miss MacGowan—excuse us, Mrs. Stehr —but only a few of the old-timers know personally the lucky man who carried away her Irish heart. As an inmate of the Steam shop three years ago. Jack was appreciated by a good circle of fellow students, and in later years he has been still more appreciated by boys and girls who didn’t know his name but de¬ cided he was a pretty good dancer at the Alumni and school dances. We are happy to congratulate both Maude and Jack on the great event of their lives, but while we feel that we should confine ourselves to cheerful remarks on the occasion, we musn’t leave the subject without offering our sympathy to Mr. Hedley and Mr. Fowler, who now go home in the former’s Ford with sorrowful looks upon their faces. No longer does a bright stream of Irish chatter come from the back seat and Mr. Fowler is having to resort to Scotch jokes in order to make the homeward journey pleasant. Miss MacGowan has left the Institute for good, but there reigns in her place Miss Girling who, we hope, will remember that old Institute custom referred to in the first paragraph. To her. Miss Sinclair, Miss McKenna and Miss Smith, the students look with expectancy that the Institute’s only staff tradition be carried on. Page Thirty-eight TECH-ART RECORD Presidents ' Messages The past year has been one of the best the Institute students have ever enjoyed, both from the point of view of class work and of Students’ Association activities. Enrolment was not up to the peak set by the school two years ago, but lack of numbers was offset by the tremendous amount of energy displayed by the student body in both class and extra-curricular work. The wide range of activities that makes the Technical In¬ stitute Students’ Association different from other student organiza¬ tions in the city, has been widened still more by the addition of the school brass band and the dramatic club to those groups already engaged in special work. The school band has met with phenomenal success, and the dramatic organizations, while not quite coming up to the point anticipated, have attained enough prominence to ensure them being carried on next year. It is the question, “Will our work be carried on?” that is always uppermost in the minds of graduating students as they make their last farewells to the school. This year there should be no doubts in the matter. The junior members of the student body have proved, chiefly by their work in the second executive, that they can be relied upon to carry on all traditions of the Institute in an efficient and sympathetic manner. It is my hope that, when the time comes for them to graduate, they will be able to look back on two years’ work well done, and will have a junior student group following them which gives as much promise as does the present group. To the graduating students may I offer my best wishes for continued success in the vocations they have chosen; and to the junior members may I give my congratulations on the showing they have made this year, together with the earnest hope that next term will be as happy and successful for them as has been the last one for us. ROBERT RAE, President, Fall Term. As a junior student, it is my pleasant duty to voice the ap¬ preciation of the first year students for the goodwill and sympathy given us during the past term by the graduating men who are now nearing the time of their last departure from the school. To them the closing of the school term means a breaking of many pleasant ties formed during the last two years; to us, the closing day is the beginning of an interlude in our complete session at the Institute. The seniors this year have set the junior men and women fine examples to follow. They have set up new traditions in student life and they have capably carried on those which were established before their advent at the school. May I assure you, second and third year students, that we who will return next year will strive our utmost to carry on the work in which you have shown us the way. An outstanding feature of the past school year has been the cordial relations between the junior and senior students. Many of the juniors came expecting to find in the seniors a group which would keep to themselves as much as possible. Instead, a warm welcome awaited their coming, and the older students proved that democracy has reached a high peak at the Institute by inviting the juniors into their confidence, setting them on the right path¬ way in student life, working side by side with them in association activities, and giving sage advice where needed. This attitude has been appreciated, and the juniors will do their best to follow in the footsteps of the seniors next year. Members of the first year classes need little in the way of written farewells. I only hope that all will have a pleasant time during the summer and will be able to return next year. Mem¬ bers of the senior classes are leaving for the last time, and to them I would like to express my appreciation of their work this year, and also give them the assurance that the juniors will in every way try to emulate the examples they have set during the term. W. SLINN, President, Winter Term. Page Thirty-nine It has been a tradition at the Institute that in nearly all activities sponsored by the Students’ Association there shall be a spirit of class rivalry. This season the spirit was somewhat lessened, due mainly to political coalitions between certain classes in an effort to gain more representation on the Students’ Council, and to a dearth of interest in certain sports that in former years provided intense inter-class competition. Not all classes showed a decrease in class spirit, however. Some of the groups aroused a keen sense of class responsibility in their members, and as a result made considerable progress in the few inter-class sports, the program competition and student politics. But, on the whole, there was a general tendency to submerge the class groups in an effort to bind the entire student body into one unit. In some ways the effort was successful, but at the same time it robbed the school of many interesting phases of student life. The end of the five-month terms has seen a short revival of class pride, perhaps as a revolt against the conditions which have existed throughout the term. At any rate, even the classes which formed alliances with other groups realized that individual friendships were firmer between members of the individual classes, and as a result, several class socials have been held. These socials have pro¬ vided a highlight of class life during the year, and they show indications of guiding the student body back to the old-time conditions of keen, but friendly, class rivalries which marked the Institute as different from other educational institutions in the province. Page Forty Late in September the survivors of the previous Spring’s shipwreck gathered once more in the halls of Tech, and after expressing sympathy for the victims of the annual accident, began to dig seriously into the work of organizing the Students’ Association for the term 1930-31. Although in numbers the classes were considerably diminished, the group which was left was sufficiently strong to carry out the work, and they gave the activities a flying start. The first term executive was almost entirely composed of senior students, and they laid a foundation of good management which has since carried the Association through several storms. The wisdom (?) and past experience of the second and third year men was responsible for several slight changes in the working of the executive, changes that in many ways simplified the work for the second term officers. In sports and Lit. programs the seniors were forced to bow to the juniors, but they made up for their failures in inter-class competitions by providing the backbone of both the basketball and hockey teams. It was natural that senior students should take the lead in socials. The natural desire to celebrate the final departure from ihe school led to several class socials being organized. The motor men broke loose with a bean feast, the tractors celebrated with a dance, and the electrical class held a dignified reception, concert and dance in the Assembly Hall.

CHARLOTTE DOOLEY ' The stork dropped “Charley” in Winnipeg, March 7, 1912. Came to our fair city about nine years ago. She is Editor of The Emery Weal and works hard for its cause. Like Clara Bow she had a head of golden hair, for which she is famed. Look out, boys! ED. CLAUSEN Ed. had to copy the girls—a blonde. He blew in from Eckville, Alta., and enrolled at Tech in 1929.

His great speed of sending dots and dashes bums up the wire, and his greatest ambition is to be called “despateher.” FRANK SUFFSICK Occurred in Sintaluta, ISask., Aug. 5, 1912. His chief ambition is to ar¬ gue with the other poor little tele¬ graphers. “In arguing, too, Suffsick proved his skill, For e’en though vanquished, he could argue still.” ALEX. PILIP Hails from Edmonton. Another quiet telegrapher, in fact, the only one who seems to make use of his time He is girl-shy, especially when at skating parties, but don’t worry, girls, he’ll get over this. SECOND YEAR ART D.

MARIAN McKAY Took her first year of art instruc¬ tion at Toronto, but came to Tech when she realized her mistake. Fav¬ orite saying: “Isn’t it gorgeous; I like that.” Her ambition is to have her smock so covered in paint that it will stand alone. MRS. M. H.

She sure must be a knockout. A. J. COPLEY Hit Calgary 24 years ago, but now lives at Airdrie. Can subdue any kind of a balky tractor, but sincerely be¬ lieves that women can’t be subdued, so leaves them alone. B. PLATT A basketballer from Brant.

He likes to play horseshoes, and would also make a good nursemaid to D.D.D.’s. R. S. MORRISON Started to cause trouble at Van¬ couver in 1910, and is still going strong.

THIRD YEAR MOTOR FRANK HANLON Has spent three years trying to find out what makes an automobile buzz, and now Icnows. By accident he didn’t get his picture in his class, so had to tag in here. He isn’t always last, however. Page Fi x l )-s ' .x junior; The annual influx of first year students brought to the school this year some men who have since become mainstays of the Students’ Association and the various clubs formed by members of the student body. The sprinkling of university men found in the junior groups was a big factor in bringing the first year classes to the fore and they also brought to the school ideas which have been felt in various branches of student endeavor. The biggest honor that fell to the juniors this year was the election of a first year man as president of the association during the second term. W. Slinn, of the drafting classes, was the first junior who has held the chair in second term meetings for several years. Other executive officers were drawn from the new classes and they have performed their work in a manner that does them credit. Juniors also ran away with honors in the fields of sports and dramatics. It was the first year com¬ posite classes that took first honors in the house basketball league and the junior electricals scored a big triumph by winning the stunt cup for Lit. programs by a wide margin of points. The first year men have also provided their quota of players on the school hockey and basketball teams. The chief contributions to musical life at the school this year came from junior students. The or¬ chestra drew many of its members from the first year classes and the brass band also found some of its strongest supporters in the junior ranks. In addition, individual artistes amongst first year s tudents con¬ tributed largely to various concerts and the banquet program. Page Fifty-seven .TECH-ART RECORD .. Electric Sub-Station No. IA.

ARMSTRONG A silent youth with a wind-blown cooky duster. Quite proud of the fact that he has survived one year iin the electrical class and has a good chance to make it two. L. C. BOAG A product of the Foothills city with a flair for ohms volts and amperes. His principal trouble is in keeping the things whei-e they belong, especially in math, exams. Page Seventy-nine One thing we can’t understand is that every time the Herald or Albertan has occasion to refer to the inmates of the Technical Institute they call them “Students.’’ Steam: “What will it cost me to have my car fixed?” Motor: : “What’s wrong with it?’’ Steam: “I don’t know.” Motor: “Forty-eight dollars and fifty cents.” Electric (visiting sick telegrapher at the General): “Say, that’s sure a pretty nurse you’ve got.” Telegrapher: “Yeah? I haven’t noticed.” Electric: “Good Lord! I had no idea you were that sick.” An ex-student who deserted ' bachelor ranks about a year ago says that a wife is a great comfort in all those troubles you wouldn’t have got into if you had stayed single. “McTavish went out to buy a packet of cigarettes,” reads a passage in a new magazine story. We always thought Mc¬ Tavish was a Scotch name. We read that Chicago policemen are unofficially running an employment bureau. We have always wondered how Chicago policemen put in their time.

Young: “It is mushy without.’’ Fowler: “Without what?” Young: “Without rubbers.” Electric: “What do you think of the new fashion in long skirts?” Motor: “Oh, ’sail right.

D. D. demurely, “do you know any new ones?” Last summer we almost got a job with an undertaker. The reason we didn’t quite get it was that he explained his reason for offering low wages by telling us that all his employees re¬ ceived free services. “What I say goes around here,” barked the motor man as he adjusted his anatomy on the Chesterfield. “Then talk to yourself a while,” murmured the D.

In the parlor there were three, He, the parlor lamp, and she; Two is company, there’s no doubt, So the parlor lamp went out.

D. D.: “What do you think of the surveyors?” Art: “Not much. They are not on the level half the time.” We tried hard to think of a joke about vaccination, but none of them were up to the mark.

Calgary Page Eighty-four PRACTISING PLEASING ECONOMIES THRIFT It is never too early, if one is going ' to be successful, to learn thrift— to practise saving. This does not mean hoarding by any manner of means. Thrift has as much bearing on one’s expenditures as it has on a bank sav¬ ings account. It means spending wisely—getting the best available value for every dollar expended. A knowledge and appreciation of merchandise values-—the assurance when you make a purchase that you are getting the most for your money, is an integral element of thrift. Saving is the main factor in a successful career. When saving may be accomphshed in any transaction without loss of contentment, it is a happy circumstance. Eatonia merchandise is selected te satisfy thrifty people. People who demand the most value for their money. It is “Good—but not too ex¬ pensive.” It is made strictly to Eaton specifications. It carries the Eaton guarantee of “Goods Satisfactory or Money Refunded.” In out opinion it is the best value obtainable. Eaton’s stand behind Eatonia in a very special sense. f i TT.

D.: “Yes, but not ‘too good’.’’ The party had come to one of those indefinable lulls that seem so hard to break. Elsie Jones had just finished an ex¬ quisite selection on her violin and the company was still rap¬ turous over the excellence of her art. No one seemed inclined to take the responsibility of breaking the atmosphere of re¬ finement thrt remained, so I strolled over to the piano. I heard suppressed giggles as I sat down on the stool, but when I started to play the opening bars in Prof. Bangor’s Thirty Day Course in Music—why, they just laughed out loud. Milk is mostly water in any case, but our milkman doesn’t seem to have acquired the cow’s knack of mixing it. Pinkerton: “A geologist thinks nothing of a thousand years.” Choate: “Ye Gods!

He rode on a panther with a cactus saddle, and in his hand he waved a rattlesnake for a whip. His left hand carressed a wildcat. With a flourish he dismounted in front of the Five and Ten and swaggered up to the hot-dog stand. “Gimme my favorite drink,” toe bellowed in thunderous tones, “Lye, sul¬ phuric acid and nitro-glycerine mixed with a couple of shots of arsenic.” He downed the drink at a gulp and hit off a healthy chew of dynamite. “W-w-where did you come from?” quavered the fair maiden behind the Hires’ barrel. “Aw,” said ‘Dirty Shirt,’ “I come from Tech. The tough guys run me out.” Bill: “Well, I went to that boarding house you told me about.” Bob: “Did you tell them I sent you?” Bill: “Yes, I did.
