Even we sordid human beings stop a moment in our existence, and feel the deep emotions and great ambitions trying to take possession of us. It was on such a day as this, unable to hear the confinement of these walls chat I started out to enjoy the afternoon. The road became less thickly settled and at last. I found myself in the open country. My mind began to take a retrospective turn and with it came a sadness as I thought of my school days which were almost over. Those three years with their hard work, good times and dear friends, how much they mean to all of us. 1 thought of the first days in Mechanics Institute, how we poor scared homesick freshmen wandered about wondering it everyone else felt as neglected and lonesome as we. But we made friends and our Senior mothers came to our assistance and made things more interesting. Soon we found that our class was good for something when we learned that one of our members walked away with a two hundred dollar peace prize, a contest in which 65 colleges took part. During our freshman year came the Y. W. C. A. which is one of the flourishing organi- zations of the school. I hat year we were able to send delegates to the Silver Bay Conference on Lake George and have done so ever since, a great record. I can vividly recall the jolly good times we had at the Y. M, C. A. and Y. W. C. A. parties when every one forgot to be snobbish and came out with native good nature. That same year 1 remember we made up the debt on the first Year Book by giving a carnival which has since become fixed in the school curriculum—the only time in the whole year when students are allowed to really play. Interspersed between our good tunes arid other school activities 1 remember with dread the hurry and worry some of us tardy ones went through to get Chemistry Note Books in on time. During the next year came the count system and 1 do believe our poor instructors went nearly crazy figuring out our schedules to see if we had enough points. Those were trying times for the faculty. It was our class, too, that took up the school paper and made a success of it. Yes, I thought how fortunate I am to he connected with such a group of people who are capable of doing and carrying out enterprises successfully. And the only feeling 1 have is one of regret that I shall soon miss all these dear friends whose ideas, opinions and friendly chats have meant so much to me. But that feeling changes to one of pleasure when 1 think that these same friends and I will go out and scatter here and there the knowledge we have accumulated here, making the world a happier and better place to live in. 45 IfRAM I kTnH €fftciencp J hree long years have passed us by, Since first we came to old M. 1. Our diplomas we have justly earned, And 'mongst other things we’ve learned Efficiency. We knew not what it meant to be Of use to, our community, A bright and ever-shining light. And not a social parasite, 1 hat’s Efficiency. In Household Arts, Miss Hess has taught. Us to do things just when we ought— 11 Responsibility ” she cried. Is what you all should have, beside Efficiency. And then the brilliant Jaspar, he Is an apostle of Efficiency In peddling milk or swatting flies. To the Science girls with force he cries Efficiency. In Co-op work they have a way, Of shouting Efficiency all day, Be sure of all you do, some gob, Will spoil your chances for a job. Their watchword’s Efficiency. Herm. Butler of the “Beaver” bunch, In Efficiency he has a hunch. He emphasizes it in Art, “Now, Scholars, you must never part. From—Efficiency. And so, Classmates, ere we part. Just take this message to your heart, If you’d attain to any height, This motto always keep in sight. Efficiency. 46 fKAMT.K.lNj 47 IKamj'KI Ni iJousdjolb Science Dorothy Andrews, Syracuse, N. Y. Y.

THE Junior Class, since their advent to this illustrious position, as advisers and assistants to the Seniors, have been an honor and glory to the school. Even the faculty, usually so unappreciative, realized our worth. When they so critically discussed the merits and defects of each class, they considered the faults of the Junior Class so few that we, lastly, were chosen for discussion. To the Seniors we have been an ever ready help and support. Always the wisest counsel has been given them and this explains their successful career of 19I-C15. Many Junior girls adopted freshman daughters and to them have been a model of right conduct and sturdy school spirit. I he editorial staff ot the “Question” is made up of both Seniors and Juniors. There has been splendid co-operation with the most fruitful results. The school paper has been the most popular in the history ol the school. The Woman’s League, altho organized only last June has placed an en- tirely different spirit in Mechanics Institute. I he Junior girls have supported this in their conduct and by their assistance at the Mass Meetings. The Carnival, the greatest annual event of M. I. was ably supported by the Juniors. A large number of the committee workers were members of our class and I know positively that every Junior was “dead broke” for a month afterward. The Junior Dance was one of the most enjoyable social affairs ever held here. A great addition was made to the coffers of our class, and our reputation as able hosts and hostesses was re-established. The Y. W. C. A. Cabinet is composed of Junior girls except one freshman who is being trained that she may assist the new ones who take up our work next spring. Added interest has been shown in the Y. W. C. A. work and the new schedule promises great things for this next year. Here’s hoping the same for the Y. M. C. A. altho we cannot expect as much from them because their association is yet so young. While it may seem as if the Seniors are indispensable to the welfare of our school, you will find that things will glide as smoothly next year and even greater events take place than ever before. 123 Ijousdjoltj £lrts anb Science Juniors Amy Warner Adams Elizabeth M.

Pice-President L, S. Benham Mildred Clark Secretary Treasurer Elizabeth Smith Estelle Steve Class IjiStorr I WRITE this that our most worthy class of 1917 may enter the annals of history, having attained this distinction through our mighty achievements during this, our Freshman year. WE entered Mechanics Institute in September, a large class, filled with the splendid spirit of youth to investigate and accomplish, and better still we have accomplished great things. Straight- way we organized our mighty class and elected our officers and at once made the upper classmen take notice. Soon we were made to feel as if we belonged to the Institute. At the Faculty Reception special attention was given us so we would not feel quite so strange and new, The girls were entertained at a party given by some members of the Faculty, They were also speedily taken into the Woman’s League and the Y. W. C. A. Then later they were given a Theater party by their Senior Mothers. The freshman Art Students excitedly awaited initiation into the Art League, of which they had heard so much, 1 he young men that had entered the Industrial Courses soon joined the Co-Op Club and many ot them were taken into the Fraternities. In October we took an active part in the Carnival, doing all we could to make it a successful event in the school year. In December we held a “get-together' party in the girls’ gymnasium. It was a wonderful success, one hundred and fifty of the class being present. In fact it was the largest and most magnificent class function ever held in the Institute. (Don’t mention this to the Juniors, it’s all right, but simply don’t mention it.) In April we gave the crowning feature of our year’s activity a dance—and what a dance it was, one which called forth admiration even from the Juniors. About the future, ah, who can tell? We only hope the faculty will con- tinue to appreciate our ability and give us that coveted ‘E on our report cards. We have gotten into the spirit of the work, and for the next two years will do our best to maintain the high ideals and standards of the Institute so that our Alma Mater may be as proud of us as we are of her. 5ramTkIn J ousieijolb Hits ant) Science jfrcsrtjmen sherleigh t. anderson iola brozitsky . mary 1. buell ellcn e. buell elizabeth j. buck isab$l n. hurt . sabra w. coston edna a. cornish ruth a.

JUttef Course Officers President I ice-President Secretary Treasurer Helen Marsh Isabella Burral Jessie Holloway Edith Pearson Ctjtomdc BEHOLD m the days of the month ot September m the year of our Lord 1914 there fluttered into the building of the workers which is called Mechanics Institute, situated where the Streets of Spring and Plymouth come together in four comers, sundry fair and fluffy damsels, about forty in n umber Behold when these maidens entered into the swing door which led into the lofty corridors of the building, they did see other maidens walking about the halls. Some of the maidens did wear gowns of blue and some did wear gowns of pink and all did adorn their heads with white caps. And the maidens did appear to have much labor to perform. I hey did carry many note books and on their faces were harassed looks as of deep study. And behold the forty damsels did inquire who these maidens were and they did find out that they had come into the land of the Seniorites, and the Juniorites and the Freshmanites, and they did also find out that these maidens did have to remain in the building of work three years. And it came to pass that there was consternation in the hearts of the fluffy ones and they sought to find out how they could escape this labor and yet receive the honorary degree of F. F. W, And they did decide that they would remain in the house of work but one year and would be called Briefites. And they did decide that they would not have great labor to perform as the Seniorites and the Juniorites and the Freshmanites, and they did pick out the labors that were most pleasing to them. And they did decide that they would wear a gown of lavender so that all men might know them. And it came to pass that when they had been in the land of work about a month they decided to gather the forty together and to elect a head and other leaders. And so with the help of much tea and cake at the home of Miss Beebe they did elect Hellen Marsh to be the leader, Isabella Burral to assist, Jessie Holloway to keep the records and Edith Pearson to care for the moneys, 139 Soon again the Briefites did meet together and did eat heartily of many and of sundry things. Then did they decide that it was not good for woman to be alone and they did invite many of the youths of the land to dance with them to the strains of tuneful music. And behold the youths did like it much even as the damsels. And they had another gathering at the home of Ethel Barbour and en- joyed it muchly. And behold when the year of labor was one-half completed there were only thirty left of the forty. And the thirty did work harder than the forty had worked before and the glory of the tribe was undiminished. Thus endeth the chronicle of the Briefites.

And we would advise the people who have the “bum lunch” habit to learn something about cooking and discover that accidents will happen, even to experts, which title we do not pretend to claim. Not counting our white-coated chef, there are sixteen in rhis year’s class. I hey are of all ages and sizes. There has been no class organization, but many pleasant meetings have been held. Mrs. Bunnell entertained the girls on Saturday evening, April 10, and there were many rumors about the good “eats” and a splendid time. “What can we do when we have finished the course” is another question often asked. Well, we certainly can cook all sorts of good things, if good instruction and practise amount to anything. Some of the girls get positions in school lunch- rooms, some in Y. W. C. A. Cafeterias and others aim to have Tea Rooms all of their own. One of our number is looking for a position as a matron in an Old Ladies’ Home. We certainly vouch for the comfort of the old ladies. And so you see that there is a large field of opportunity for the girls taking the Lunchroom course. We are proud of our course here at Mechanics, and we are proud of our class. In future years we will look hack upon this year as one of the happiest and most profitable we have ever spent; and M. I. will always stand high in our regard because of all the good times, hard work and many friendships we enjoyed here. 142 Bietittan£ Course Baltimore, Md. Elyria, Ohio Geneseo, N. Y.

THE Dietitians’ Course was added in 1913. This work can be taken in only a few institutions and as there is a growing field-for the trained dietitian we feel certain that the enrollment in these classes will be greater each year. At present this course is for only one year but as a good deal of work is included, in time it is possible that it wdl be necessary to extend the length of time taken for it.

We began in September, 1914, heavily laden with debts and no money with which to start activities. By means of the Carnival in October we were able to finance the Girls’ Glee Club and the basket-ball team, besides paying off some of the old debts. We also drew up class constitutions and submitted them to the Freshmen, Junior and Senior classes for adoption. This will aid the organization ot classes and the regulation of social functions. Another important thing is that all petitions for any activity must he signed by a committee of the council, thus doing away with all conflicts. In the music line has come the girls’ Glee Club, which was very successful. A new victrota has also been purchased for the benefit of the students at infor- mal dances and entertainments. Our basket-ball team, financed by the council, played some very successful games and promoted a stronger school spirit. The school paper, “Question” has been very successful and an excellent beginning made for next year. We hope this beginning will be improved upon. We hope anil sincerely believe that soon there will he successful glee clubs, dramatic and literary societies for men and women. We are dreaming of literary societies that will take charge of assemblies, promote public speaking and debate; and furthermore of a larger school paper which will have the support of all the students. Other things we would like to see are a men’s gymnasium, an athletic field and a compulsory Students’ Association fee. In promoting these interests and realizing these plans we would have a school in which the student body would be one; and in all activities each student would forget to what different department he belonged and remember only that he was a member of the Mechanics Institute. As this year closes, we realize that only half of our plans have materialized hut we sincerely hope that the new council will carry on the work we have tried to do. 146 Z )t Woman's league ©ff teens P res ide nt—Belle Thompson ice- P res iden t—A nna W k l l m a n Secretary—Marie Whipple Treasurer LoLise Mown THROUGH the efforts of several members of the faculty, and the co- operation of the students, the Woman’s League was started last June, 1914, with the idea of organizing the women of Mechanics Institute into one body for the purpose of self government. The above officers were elected and these, together with a representative from each department constitute the executive committee, I he first activity of the league was the adoption of a set of rules, drawn up hv the girls themselves and known as Woman’s League rules. 1 he executive committee meets weekly with the house presidents, who are the representatives from every house where three or more girls live. These meetings are for the purpose of discussing problems which have come up in any of the houses or in the league itself. The league has monthly meetings which are in the form of suppers, after which the girls have jolly times together in the gym. These meetings have proven a great success, in that they draw the gil ls together and make them feel more like one large family all working toward the same end; a higher standard among the women students is the inevitable result. The future of the new organization depends upon the girls now in school and upon those who will enter later. They must realize that the responsibility does not rest with a few, hut that every girl is a member of the Woman’s League and that upon her rests the outcome of self-government and the success of the league.

It took our unreliable grey matter to pull 1912 out of their finan- cial embarrassment in which they found themselves when they attempted to put out a year book! They dealt rather heavily in cuts and so forth, but sold few books. The natural sequence of events meant a loss of money. I his deficit was made up by the whole school turning out and giving a Carnival. A stranger coming into the Institute would think the main halls had been turned into street fairs. Hot dogs and peanut stands, clowns running about making themselves obnoxious, barkers yelling for the different side shows were the first things one met as he entered the building. There was some “pep to those side shows. Your whole future was disclosed to you for five cents. It was quite a problem for the young ladies to undertake but they did it amiably. Farther down the hall was a circus with real live bears who could read and write and do a whole lot of things. I don’t believe one person got by the Library without surrounding at least two ice cream cones. In one corner of tilt Assembly hall was an apparatus for taking silhouettes, i hey were taken and mounted all for the small sum of 10c. Dancing was the main attraction in the evening. In all about 175 or 200 was made which more than made up the deficit. Encouraged hv the success of the previous year, it was decided upon by our most amiable, dear faculty to make it a part of the course of study. Where- upon last year it proved to be a greater success than ever. W ith the addition of the little play, “The Country School,” “Inky Kirky” and the “Chamber of Horrors” there was greater variety than the year before. In the evening there was dancing as usual. About 200 was taken in this second year and the money was divided between the many different school activities. By the way , a part of this money was used to improve the boys’ and girls’ rest rooms, hut the hoys’ furniture should have been built of iron. So this year saw the most elaborate carnival in the history of the Institute. It was entirely in charge ot the Students’ Council. For a month beforehand the expectations of everyone were aroused by the extensive advertising which preceded it. Then came the eventful day, Oct. 28. Classes were dismissed for the after- noon. All was excitement. The whole school was transformed. In the main hall was a country Fair with its festive booths and carts where you could buy candy, peanuts, popcorn fritters, hot dogs, get your fortune told and go to the grand menagerie. 139 SCaIOIICTtSI The “Lambs' Frolic was a splendid amateur production which drew immense crowds at each performance. The Krazy Kwilt was a delightful surprise to everyone; a genuine minstrel show that brought birth peals of laughter. Between the show the “Peophonies” were put on, the very latest thing in the way of a movie stunt. The “gym was really wonderful, the change being so great it startled one. It was converted into a fairyland cabaret, having small tables with artistic shaded candles on them, scattered here and there. The dancers were of the best, and between the performances any young couple Feeling so inclined could get up and go through a few contortions, for there was music all the time. In the halls one was entertained by the antics of the clowns, by the charm- ing music of the Domestic Science Band and the contortions of the ferocious Bull. Some of the other features were, a candy sale, silhouettes, twentieth cen- tury sparking and an auction. 1 he grand climax was a dance which all enjoyed. Yes, it was a wonderful success both socially and financially. Everyone said that they had never had a better time and we cleared 8217. So here's to the future classes, hoping they will make as much of a success of the annual Carnival as we did. 160 (Dfficrrs President Louise Howe i ice-P res.—Madeline Perkins Rec. Secretary Diana Harris Cor. Sec'y—Stewart Gordon Treasurer Christine K. Smith 1M !{-]! HTamTkin £tjc Urt Heaguc THIS year, as in previous years, the “Beavers, true to their name, have kept things moving. Remembering that all work and no play, will make Jack a dull boy, the student members of the Rochester Art League have endeavored to mix a few good times with their school duties. Only a week after the opening of the fall term, the Seniors and Juniors gathered up their Freshmen charges and took them to the lakeside, where the new comers were allowed to eat hot corn and toasted weiners to their hearts content. A tew days later, all unknown to the Freshmen who were as yet unso- phisticated, the Art League held its annual election of officers, in accordance with plans brought forward the same day, the fall dance took place on October tenth. All who were present will remember that it was a success in spite of the sultry evening. In the minds of the Freshmen, the Art League Initiation, held on October twenty-fourth at Spencerport, was perhaps the most important event of the year. For, on that day, the poor innocents were certainly abused and mal- treated in every conceivable manner. Revenge is sweet and next year is coming— but we'll leave that to your imagination. During the month of November, the leaguers were making such elaborate plans for the Second Annual Christmas Sale that no time was allowed for social activities. On December third, fourth, and fifth, the Exhibition Room of the Revier Building was indeed an attractive spot. More than a hundred Japanese lanterns were suspended from the ceiling, Japanese incense burned continually and fragrant pine boughs were tucked in every available space around the booths where the various articles were on sale. At the east end of the room Dame Refreshment held sway, ice cream cones, tea and wafers being served by dainty Japanese maidens. The School Victrola furnished music for dancing during the entire sale. A Christmas party, with Santa Claus, a gaily trimmed tree and presents for all was held in the Alembic Club Rooms on December seventeenth, thereby reviving a former custom and providing a jolly good time for all. This year the Art League sleigh ride took place, without a mishap, on January twelfth. The evening was a delightful one. The dance held on the thirtieth of the same month, was a social success and at the same time added a neat sum to the Piano Fund. 162 I amTRin] On February sixteenth a novel idea was put into action. I he Freshmen of the departments of Fine and Applied Art and Manual Training were invited by the Junior and Senior members of the League, to a Valentine supper-party in rhe Alembic Club Rooms. A record breaking crowd attended and a spirit of good fellowship between the two departments was instituted. Prompted by this spirit the Freshmen of the two departments united in giving a party to the Juniors and Seniors the night before St. Patrick's Day. Every game that was played and even the refreshments and favors were cleverly adapted to suit the occasion. At this date it is impossible to tell what will be the outcome of rhe Annual Costume Ball to be held April twenty-fourth, or of the Bohemian Banquet, but present indications point to their success. During the entire year, continued effort has been directed toward “increas ing the piano fund.’’ Perhaps that phrase has been worn almost threadbare, but the few disagreeable features connected with the instrument seem to be more than offset by the pleasant memories of scores ol informal noon dances and a few real “dress-up” parties where the piano contributed such a large part of the enjoyment. 163 (Officers President .....

Dr. Wickliffe Rose, Director-General of the Rockefeller Foundation, who has been a personal friend of Mr. Gibson for a number of years, cabled of the need for immediate assistance and asked that Mr. Gibson sail at once. The trustees of the school granted him a three months’ leave of absence, which at his request has since been extended until July 1. Mr. Gihson has written several very interesting letters about his experiences to different members oi the faculty, and we are sure that when he returns to us next fall he will be able to tell us many exciting events and will give us a first hand view of the situation in Europe at the present time. 167 Cabinet Officers President I ice-President Secretary Treasurer 1914-15 Frances Poler Donna Reynolds Marion Culley Belle Thompson 1915-16 Katherine Beebe Mabelle Heath Elizabeth 1 omer Helen McMillan Committee Cfjatrmen 1915=1916 Religious Meetings, Anne Wellman Missionary, Ruth Du roe Social Service, Marjorie Lycldon Welfare, Gladys Wilkins Social, Eunice Turner Bible Study, Mary Beach Conference, Edna Lowrey Finance, Marion Culley Publicity, Eleanor Wright Faculty Adviser, Miss Adah less THE Young Woman's Christian Association organized at M. I. in 1912, filled a long felt want in our school. Since 1912 the association has given and has proved a wonderful help to the girls. Last spring the Silver Bay exhibition and sale in the Assemble Hall raised money enough to send nine delegates to Silver Bay Conference in June. During the summer, members of the Y. W. C. A. corresponded with girls who were to enter M. L in the fall and met them at the trains when they came, and helped them to become acquainted at an informal reception. The Y. W. bulletin board has had many interesting notices for the students this year. The cabinet meets every Tuesday at noon and the regular meeting 169 [KamJ-KiWi is Thursday at 4:30. Dr. Goodwin and Dr. Cherry have been among the reg- ular speakers. Dr. Cherry has been the leader in the Bible study class. From November 8-14 the association had a week of prayer. Every morning during the week the association held early morning prayer meetings. Thirteen delegates went from M. I. to the Students’ Conference at Geneva Dec. 4� 5, 6, and reported on the conference at a regular meeting. Shortly before the Christmas holidays it was a very common sight to see girls sitting in the rest room industriously making doll clothes or pasting pictures in scrap hooks, for distribution by Social Service Workers in the city. In January the first joint meeting of the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. was held, followed by a supper in the Lunch Room. The meeting was a decided success and others like it followed. The association has had a number of very pleasant social affairs, a beach party at the lake in the fall, parties and teas, musicals, and the joint Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. meetings.

A. was organized at Mechanics Institute and everyone knows that it has been a wonderful success. Before this time there had been no organization of this kind for the men of the Institute. In 1914 Mr. Connell, State Secretary ofthe Students’ Organization visited the Institute, and with the aid of President Gibson succeeded in organizing a Y. M. C. A. A constitution much like the one used in many educational institutions was adopted. Joint meetings of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. have been held once each month in the students’ lunch room. The large crowd which attended these meetings enjoyed the feed and music, and later had a jolly time in the girls’ gymnasium, taking part in the various stunts prepared by the entertain- ment committee. Another splendid idea the organization wishes to carry out. is to procure the girls' gymnasium for one night each week, organize a gym class, and en- gage a physical instructor. It is to he hoped that all the young men will avail themselves of this opportunity to obtain physical training. An organization of this kind, having for its object, the promoting of a fine spirit of fellowship among the young men of the Institute, and providing some means of bringing them closer together in a social way, has long been needed. With the splendid progress made this year we feel certain the Y. M. C. A. has become an established organization of the Institute, and that next year its enrollment of new members will be very large and that it will continue its good work. 172 fFlAMTKiW Mentor Ctjem.

They thought they’d never live thru that week, But soon came the Freshmen, little and meek. So good were these Freshies, a day or two, (d ill everything didn’t seem quite so new). And then they began to make things hum, They surely were having lots of fun. But the Juniors came back to school one day And the Freshmen didn’t feel quite so gay. The Seniors and Juniors started them in, “Initiation” came with an awful din. “Dolly,” “Kay,” “Helen,” “ Rolena and Jane” Never again will look the same. Even Emily was meek and mild, “Else,” Rita nor Isabelle smiled. They hung our pictures on the wall, I hey ran our errands at every call. They slipped away for a picnic fine And later, on “worms” and ‘‘cats eyes” did dine. On the third of October we went so far.

Of seniors wise, just six They with freshmen would not mix. Juniors gay were two alone, In pity the seniors made them their own. Tho the freshmen were so green They chose our Bird as Queen, First her power to show She did to Peanut-Alley go. But never there could she find Even a trace of an M. I. grind. Helen did sing for Luzette to dance Till the Victrola came by chance. Ellene sketching shy Marie Who fortunes told with palm or tea. The Jessies to the movies went And to their energies gave vent. While thru it all, Pauline and Grace With open hooks, did the music face. Bertha and Eve, they take no dope For all they need is brush and soap, Swiftly to second the Bird must fly Determined there to rule or die. To tell those Juniors, tho hut two Ever thinking of pranks to do, “Law is for Woman's League, not Esther,” And Leita, the seniors must not pester. 186 Those seniors must examples be And from her need but a passing plea. For Nan, to all is ever just, With motto, “It I ought, I must,” Eileen, tho so full of glee, She’s just as good as she can be, Marian, in all things such a shark Of course, does always toe the mark. She sees of freshies just a pair, There’s Alma, ever free from care, And Mabel always so precise Yet a young preacher does entice. Still Berdie’s heart to her can sing For we all know she wears a ring. Midst troubles and fun Our work we’ve done. And now, sad at the last For this a happy year is past. Some will leave now forever Perhaps to return to us never, And we cannot help but see This the truth will ever be; Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, What men won't take, school-kids must. 187 iUembers Esther Clyde Bernice Clymo Marion Culley Grace DeGroa.t Mary Agnes Dolan Isabel Johnson Margaret Kingsley Irene Lapp M a rga ret C a n fi e Id Portia Kaufman Helen Marsh Zoe Norton Addis Hartt Lenabelle Pickard Louise Von Euw Edna Lowrey Ada Cook Edith Hutchins Dorothy Pain ton Helen MacMillan Margaret Morton Frances Pole: Marie Whipple Marian Howse Mabel Phil pot t Vernette Huntley THE Girls’ Glee Club, as we all know is one of the real wide-awake organi- zations of the Institute. During the winter of 1913 and 1914 the men and women students organized a joint glee club, which for a time proved quite successful. Mr. Penny was secured to train the would-be singers and in February an excellent concert was given with very good results. But evidently the boys were seized with spring fever because the final concert, which was given in May was participated in by the girls only. I his concert was of course better than the first and showed us what talent we had among our numbers, and what could be done along other lines than cooking. 189 LEamTk in Immediately after these concerts had been given, the Community Chorus sprang up in the city. We are told that so great was the influence of our Glee Club upon the citizens of Rochester that this great chorus arose in opposition to ours. 1 he need for more of this atmosphere was felt again this year when every- one appeared sort of discordant. As soon as work was renewed the girls again organized with Mr. Penny as leader. Of course there were a great many of the former Glee Club girls still on hand so they decided to give a concert in just ten weeks time. Think of it! They practiced diligently night and day� and some- times twice a day, until the final evening. It was all so wonderful! I he assembly room was crowded to its full capacity and the girls in their gayly colored gowns made a lasting impression. This last concert which took place on March 24, 1915, was the crowning event of the year and, let us say that a great deal of credit is due Mr. Penny and the girls.

I he Institute, each year, offers six scholarships, each valued at 390 a year for three years of full course instruction two being granted in each department While registrations are in progress on the first day of the term, usually Monday, students in pursuit of scholarship honors are toiling over tough ex- amination problems. Those who were successful in the examinations last September and who were given scholarships are the following: Department of Household Arts Veronica G. Hayward, 14 I ralalgar Street, Rochester. Irene Eve Smith, Middleport, N. Y. Department of Applied and Fine Arts Marjorie E. Hicks, 41 Board man Street, Rochester, N. Y. Coriis S. Harkness, Oakfield, N.

If some of our dreams come true, some day we Seniors, who expect big salaries, will do a great many things that aren’t being done and which should be done. 206 m ai ■ u ii u a ca n nr n W d a RA M I kInI (Ktffjat s ome of ©ur Seariierss are ©mug ©lit of cfjool MECHANICS with Its many courses preparing young people for occu- pations and professions of a widely different nature, necessitates the employment of instructors correspondingly different in their training. In the Department of Applied and Fine Arts all teaching leads to the production of actual objects in which the highest skill m workmanship as well as the best taste must be displayed. Then the product must be in accord with and often in advance of current commercial demands, so it is of vital importance to have a corps of experienced specialists as instructors. II an art instructor could not divide his time between teaching and active professional work he would soon become inefficient in both. For this reason the Department of Applied and Fine Arts has always encouraged its instructors to remain as active as possible in their outside professional work. Following is a brief review of their activities: Mrs. W. H. Allen, instructor in basketry and weaving has a well established shop at her home. Miss Harriet Bird, instructor in teaching methods and design has been doing some special work in public school teaching. Mr. Herman Butler, instructor in design has been associated with the Pike Stained Glass Co. He designs and directs the making of ecclesiastical windows. Some of his recent work may be seen in St. Monica s Church and at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament. Miss Marguerite El wood, instructor in freehand drawing and costume design has given much of her time to hi ling orders for book-plates, lettering, illuminating and drawing coats of arms and crests. She has also been the recipient of a prize for the picturesque Rochester Competition in 1913. Mr. Carl H. Johonnot, instructor of jewelry, metal work, wood carving and primary handwork has been filling many orders for jewelry and metal work and has been sending his work to prominent exhibitions all over the country, including the present San Francisco Exposition. Mr. Clifford M. Ulp, instructor of illustration, composition and sketch classes, is constantly doing commercial illustrating. He painted a large mural decoration for St. Monica's Church. Mr. Hendrik van Ingen, instructor in architecture is a practicing architect with his office in the heart of the city. He has designed many residences in Rochester and at present is working on an expensive residence on the east side. Mr. Frank Von dcr Lancken, Superintendent of the Department, instructor of painting life classes, history ot painting and sculpture has held an exhibition of his paintings in New York this winter. He has been actively engaged in portrait painting. At present he is giving the regular course in the History of painting at the University of Rochester. Mr. Frederick Walrath, instructor of modeling and pottery, exhibits his pottery all over the United States. It is known as the Walrath M, I. Pottery. 207 jRAMTR'IN: H Jfacultp Jtleetmg or “tEfje empestt” (With much Apology to Bill Shakespeare). Mr. (iil son—President Mr. Woodland—Chem.

That poor bell upon the head.’1 Looked I then from off my reading, all my brains in air receding, While I gazed around m interest for the cause of all this roar; As I looked I saw confusion, magazines spread in profusion, Saw the books strewn in disorder, everywhere the whole room o’er, Saw the torn-up papers lying scattered all about the floor. And this sign upon the door: Pupils who are really able, to remove from off the table, All their magazines and put them where they found them once before, If they give some evidences, of possessing all their senses By picking up the worthless paper dropped upon rhe library floor, Will they please to do it e’er they pass without the door; Only this and nothing more.' All about 1 heard girls laughing, heard hoys whisp’ring, couples chaffing. While above in lonely splendor, hung the sign of Silence Here!” Intermittent thro’ the noises of girls’ giggles and hoys’ voices, Came that little tinkle, tinkle of the bell so sweet and clear, Twas Miss Gleason’s means of saying, Let us have more silence here, Silence in the atmosphere.” 225 R-15 EramTkInI And Miss Gleason, never quitting, still is sitting, still is sitting. Right behind the little desk that’s just within the lih’rv door, And her eyes are sharp and watching, in the hope of sometimes catching Some poor “boobs,” who, whisp’ring, laughing, don’t know what the library’s for; And with gentle whisper tells them, “Don't do that here any more.” Quoth Miss Gleason “Nevermore.” 226 [KamTkIn] Bib J?ott €ber % n: Bunny Borne grinding?
