“
better electricians are produced, the Institute ▼▼ will produce them.” This has been an axiom since the inception of the class sixteen years ago, long before the advent of the Artists, the Aeros., the Dressmakers and the General Shopites. The class for ’38 is well supporting the traditions of the past. It is true that, for the first time in years, the Electrics failed to carry the slate of officers of the Students’ Association for the opening term. They gracefully retired before a battery of skirted legislators, as man has done from the childhood of time, and will probably continue to do unto the end- It was, perhaps, as well, as the shop work has been much heavier than in any previous year, both in respect to quantity and complexity. The jobs already completed have run into the second hundred, ranging from multi-horsepower machines to the one microbe- power motor of the electric razor. It is to the joint credit of Mr. Nelson and his boys that these appliances are successfully turning the wheels of industry and shaving the chins of the people. Mr. Browning and his crew of second-year Steinmetzs have kept the electrical equipment of the Institute functioning. This is no small job, as it includes over 60 miles of wire, SO motors, 10 generators, 30 heaters, 600 lights, ventilation, projection, air conditioning, electric clocks, bells, batteries, buzzers, saws, ' sewing machines and synchroscopes. The Radio Group, under the able guidance of Mr. Fleming, has also made itself heard. By the co-operation of its members the whispers of the dainty lady secretaries of the Students’ Association have been amplified until their swelling cadence has penetrated the remotest corners of the Assembly Hall- And now the short-wave transmitter built by these “Sound engineers” is ready to carry the voice of the Institute to the uttermost corners of the earth. From past students reports have drifted in from many lands which should encourage those who are about to leave us. One reports that he is figuring on a $10,000 installation; another has just returned from completing work for a Canadian company in San Salvador; a third is working on the electrifica¬ tion of the Hudson Railway. Two have been installing hydro¬ electric equipment in France, and three others are working on the hydro plant at Island Falls. These are only a few; but wheresoever there are wires, wheresoever the current hisses and cracks on the “high line”—in the jungle or in the driving blizzard of the North—there you will find the electricians of the Tech, working in safety belts or with meters, with “heaky” or tee-square, installing or maintaining the sinews of civilization. In student activities, such as the banquet, athletics, dramatics and dances, the Electrical students either co-operate or lead. In the years to come, when the boys now with us have joined the thousands who have passed on and who are scattered from the Arctic to Panama, they may well take pride in saying, “I belong to the Tech. Electric Class of ’38.” F- N. RHODES, Chief Instructor.

T HE Scellum Scookum (Good Friends) Club, which was first organized in 1930, is the foundation of our present Iota Club. By 1934, this girls’ association had progressed rapidly and boasted of the new name—Iota. This year the Iota members have enthusiastically sup¬ ported many varied programmes. Following our Organization Tea, Mrs. J. K. Penley spoke on Ballroom Etiquette and on the Technique of Modelling, followed by a social evening. A toboggan party, which caused great excitement and thrills as well as some tumbles, was held on November 22nd. The Candy Sale of December 15th was ery successful, the profits being donated to the Red Cross, Wood’s Home, Salva¬ tion Army, and Sunshine. A skating party of the members and friends was followed by a dance in the Assembly Hall, refreshments then being served. On January 10th the girls enjoyed an instructive tour of the Albertan Publishing Company. Miss Brockbank was the guest speaker of January 30th. She demonstrated the Harper Method of beauty culture. On March 7th the girls put on a programme for the crippled children of the Junior Red Cross Hospital, all joining afterward in games and refreshments at Miss Smith’s apart- The Club members wish to express their appreciation of the efforts of the Staff Representatives, Miss Smith, who was made Honorary President, and Miss Jorgens. Convenors for the year were: Social—Velma Pearn. Athletic—Irene Jackson. Educational—Edith Jones. Plans for the future include a dance and banquet for the members and their friends on March 21st, and a proposed visit to the Wood’s Home. THE LAMENT OF AN ART STUDENT By M- CASWELL It seems that even the Art Students—those underdone and over-privileged denizens of the third floor—can find something to kick about. May I beg to differ if you think our bed is all of roses. What do you know of home compositions—of Thurs¬ day evenings spent in deep concentration or equally deep despair? Evenings when, if we are lucky, a something—per¬ haps we ourselves don’t quite know what—takes shape beneath our scurrying pencils. Next morning (if we don’t forget) we wrap it up and carry it tenderly to Tech. It may not look much, even to us, but we hope Mr. Glyde may see in it the signs of latent genius that may some day take us to fame and fortune. But alas and alack-a-day! With a few terse remarks Mr- Glyde tears our fond hopes asunder. Did we really draw that unfortunate individual sprouting out of another’s head? And that rather unusual extra limb that we had thought was quite obviously attached to another chap? What a regrettable situ¬ ation if the edged of the picture this fellow’s foot is resting on so comfortably should suddenly give way. Then there is that person over there s o obligingly propping up the wall—if he should ever get tired—! Well, yes, the perspective of those steps is a little out and we probably would find it rather a back¬ breaking job looking out of windows no higher than these. And—but gosh, Mr. Glyde, surely you can find something in the picture to commend us on. What?—Oh well, we did get that line along there pretty straight—but then, what else are rulers for anyway? TIME By R. D. CONN Time flies by like a stone from a sling, Faster than any bird on the wing; It passes quicker than ray of light That vanishes suddenly from our sight. Round and round the world it goes, O’er lands of blossom and land of snows, And to acres fertile and acres stark It brings the daylight and the lark.
