Where’er we be, thy message, dear M. I., of Service, And of joy won from faithful, honest toil. Sometimes o’er green and grassy slopes our paths will be. And we will deem ourselves well-favored and inclined To rest awhile beside the quiet stream. Again huge crests, rough hewn and steep, will lure ns on, Seeming to beckon with fresh interest from each peak. Keeping our spirits ever on the climb. But more often yet, across the straight, unbroken plain Of daily routine with unfound success will life call With insistent voice to still press on. At such a time, U. A. M. I., may vision bright Of thy benignant purpose realized, upward loom On the horizon and bestir new life. Vera Mae Eddy.

Ihuplirqj nf thr Annual HmnrBtir Crimin' (Elans nf HUB The year 15)40 had arrived; my father and I were traveling in Egypt where he had intended to make a collection of antiques, and to that end we had pitched our tent in the shadow of the Great Pyramid. One night as I lay awake looking at the great riddle of the ages looking up into the moonlight, a feeling of loneliness swept over me; as I had been abroad six years I began to think of home and of the class of June, T6. Then something happened; perhaps it was a flight of fancy, but 1 could have sworn as I looked that a huge stone moved from its position leaving the entrance unguarded. At first I was frightened, but then decided to explore, for the moonlight was bright as day. Besides I had a lively curiosity to see the wonder within the tomb. Accord- ingly I tiptoed to the opening and peered inside. Within was a long hall furnished with ancient Egyptian chests and tapestries, and hung with curious fabrics. There was a heavy penetrating odor in the place and 1 sank down exhausted. A voice resounded through the air: “For him who purchased my necklace rare. For his beautiful daughter. My cernes grants a wish so fair, By using this magic water.” Paralyzed with fear I recalled a certain necklace which my father had pro- cured for me that day. Since the privilege was mine, I ventured to wish for the sight of my class mates. Immediately three drops fell on my forehead, and slowly I began to ascend, and was wafted high above the earth; past green fields and peaceful villages. Soon I made out houses and people darting to and fro. But who was that woman trudging along, her apron filled with potatoes? Could I believe my eyes, it was Louise N an Euw. I came down to earth as quickly as possible and helped her to carry her burden to the house, a quarter of a mile distant. She admitted that she was the wife of a scientific farmer (a former Cornell graduate), and that all his methods were strictly up to date. I questioned the efficiency of placing a potato patch 1..T20 feet from the kitchen, but she said that he had thoughtfully done it to give her daily exercise. Nearby I noticed the foundation and framework for a very pretentious building, I inquired what it was. “Oh, that is the new Goler School for girls,” replied Louise proudly. “Carolyn Zundel is conducting it on new principles. Each pupil’s seat will he a well-padded lounge, and there will be regular intermissions for yawning.” Siss! Louise, your potatoes!” A hurried exit in the direction of the kitchen left me alone with the daily paper. There was Max Elliot saluting me from the front page; from the column beneath T learned that she was a famous dub and settlement worker, and together with Mr. Jasper Wright, had succeeded in developing a public health conscience among the Polacks of New York City. But what was on the opposite side of the paper? “Twenty-four years ago today graduated the largest and most successful Senior ('lass in the history of Mechanics Institute. I was glad to think that our humble efforts were of sufficient note to print. I then turned to a Sunday Magazine. There in the columns of “Little-known Husbands of Well-known Women, I saw the face of a sorrowful, dejected man, the husband of Cornelia Evans, a famous novelist, whose latest works were “The Canals of Mars and How to be Happy though Married. T was still laughing when Louise returned, sputtering and mumbling about the poor grade of hardware of Chappell Co, It seems that the alloy prescribed by the famous chemist, J. Ernest Woodland, melted at a lower temperature than was altogether satisfactory for home use, and many a housewife's disposition was badly damaged on account of this defect. The potatoes were put in a fireless cooker and we started for the city. We boarded a sight-seeing automobile and enjoyed the sights until a person with a sh arp voice shouted through a megaphone into our ears: To the right view the beautiful home of K. Cunningham and wife. (I remembered her). I tapped the arm of the barker and opened my mouth to speak. Could I believe my eyes, Helen Owen! She hastened to assure me that barking was one of the foremost callings of the women of the day, and that she was sending her niece to Columbia on her summer’s earnings. Suddenly we stopped with a jerk. A burly representative of the female police force informed us that we were exceeding the speed limit and that the driver was to lie fined $25.00. Bowing his head under her firm indictment, he handed over the money. I pitied him, and stepped to plead his case, when I was ordered to Get to one side and stop blocking traffic, “Don’t you know me, Ann,” I cried. She escorted me safely across the street and we went to a nearby tea-room for dinner. The salad dressing had a very familiar taste and no wonder, for “ Peg Kellogg and Cooky have been in charge for ten years. They maintained that the only difference between this tea room and the Mechanics lunch room was the environment. Coming out on to Main Street, we found it in confusion. Miss Eunice Turner, an animated soap-box speaker, was holding a suffrage meeting, and so played upon the emotions of the people that the police had all they could do to protect the harmless men from severe treatment. Ada Cole was her manager. We turned our steps in the direction of our Alma Mater, when whom should we meet but Mary Beach, dressed in sombre black, for she was a minister’s wife, who had spent six years in India, saving the heathen from starvation. Reaching the school, we turned from habit into the theory class. 'The door was a jar. Within, in cap and apron, stood I lit1 efficient head of the Science Depart- ment, Marion Culley. She was very much wrapped up in her work and had just m 1 T3I refused a summer vacation in order to make out a new course of study for the incoming Freshmen. Betty Tomer was teacher of textile chemistry. In the nearby room Adelia Yenor was demonstrating the method of finishing gored skirts with- out seams. We all had a long chat and I found that Ruth Duroe was doing much good in China as a missionary, for she had “adapted herself to her environment and was wrapped in the joy of service.” Associated with her were Lida Retan and Estelle Stone. By moral persuasion they had reduced the cannibals to a state of lamb-like submission. Helen Crawford and Margaret Cillam, the Shakespeare and Piecrust girls, were successful teachers of cookery in a technical school in Cleveland. Leaving the school we walked slowly up Plymouth Avenue. “Paper, lady?” queried an energetic newsboy. “What kind of a paper have you?” I asked. “The QUESTIONABLE Paper,” he replied. “Read it and see.” The edition was a clever bit of arrangement, and looking for the person deserving the credit, I found the name, Leila Davy. From the society column I learned that the former Delia Kerr, who had recently fallen heir to a fortune, had donated $50,000 to “The Home for Over-studious Pupils.” The matron. Miss Ethel Havens, was so overjoyed that she declared a holiday for all her charges and attended a movie by way of cele- bration. On Main Street we met Zoe Norton, now a music teacher. She told, us that she had received a letter from Agnes Trachenberg, who was taking a party abroad for a tour of Europe. Most of the time would be spent in Germany, but there would be flying trips to France and England, just to get an idea of the superiority of some countries as compared with others. We decided to go to the theater that night, so I immediately set out for Guggenheim’.? for a “wave” to make myself more presentable, but what a change had taken place. In large letters above the entrance were the names, Mesdames Le Blanc La Salle, and in the window stood a girl with long, beautiful hair. As she slowly turned, 1 looked into the face of—Georgine Hesse. Entering. I found that Ruth Miller and Marie Fennell were the owners of this prosperous shop. In the chair next to mine sat a soap-bespattered individual, with eyes shut. She seemed to be chanting some bit of poetry; although the employee seemed accus- tomed to it, 1 was somewhat annoyed by this style of music. Finally I reached out to ask her to change her key, when I recognized—Marion Ferguson. She explained that she was a composer of poems and love songs, and that her muse was always more active under the mild stimulation of soap suds. She ceased, however, long enough to sav that Mary Cavanaugh was a famous educator of children and gave wonderful demonstrations daily. In the lobby of the hotel I met the former Mary Kennedy, who was surrounded by four little Inis. She still lived in Buffalo, and her eldest daughter held a prize record at Mechanics. Reaching the theater we took our places next to Esther Hanna and her husband. Here, Davina Sheldon starred as a dancing nymph and Helen Kondolf played a comic part, which kept us in a continual roar of laughter. r 1 1 80 Just as we were leaving the theater, I heard a voice calling me by name. I jumped and looked into the eyes of—Sarah DeGroat. Sally insisted that 1 return home with her and spend the night. She did so want to have an old-fashioned visit. So we left the theater together and stepped into her limousine and were whizzed away to a beautiful mansion. On the way Sally told me that Marguerite Brown had invented an automobile which was dominating the market al such a low price that Henry Ford had been driven to the poor house. Next morning we started out bright and early to do some shopping. The people looked so queer. “What is the matter?” I asked my companion. “Every one is so very thin. ” “Oh, yes, they are all using Marie Gates’ and Margaret McGinn's ‘Slim Solution for Stoutness.’ “ At that moment I saw Marie and Margaret themselves, coming toward me. They had just returned from a European tour and had met Amy Adams, who was a famous agriculturist and had been doing wonderful work along that line ever since the end of the world war. They also informed us that Evelyn Gilmore was in England. She had come into possession of a huge estate and was fairly worshipped by her adoring subjects as ( omitess Evclinda Cholomondeley. Well, all I his was certainly news and I was deep in thought w hen suddenly I chanced to look up and saw on a twenty-foot billboard the sign, “Eyes Your Greatest Asset- Preserve Them!” Could it be possible! Could that be Marie Gschwind’s likeness that looked from the board with such a coquettish glance into mine? I hastily questioned my companion, who said: “Oh, yes, that is Marie’s picture. It is known from coast to coast.” I half groaned as 1 turned away and inquired of Jane Foster’s fate. With bated breath I listened to the reply. Jane, so they told me, was married, but alas, her husband rarely saw her. She was the president of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cigarette Smoking, and chased all over the country after the nicotine demon. During her spare moments she wrote “Advice for the Lovelorn” for a huge newspaper syndicate. I now began to feel rather hungry and so stepped into a pretty little tea room The woman al the corner table looked very familiar. She bowed to me and I recognized- Anita Murray. She was surrounded by a dozen small waifs, whom she explained were children from the slums. It developed that Anita was a very active worker in settlement work. From her 1 learned that Marie Fortner was the proprietress of this tea room, which was the Mecca of the Matinee Elite. As I was very interested in .settlement work myself, 1 accompanied Anita back to the slums. There 1 ran across Edith Armstrong, who was helping her husband build sanitary tenement houses during the day. In the evening she was teaching Italians how to cook cereal, and so was entirely too busy to stop and talk with me. 81 � ttM On a building her husband was just completing was a sign which confided to the world that Georgiana Conger was the ventilating contractor who was equipping the structure. A few blocks further on I was attracted by the raucimus tones of what ap- peared to be a street-corner spell binder. On drawing closer my eye detected the flushed face of Stella Botz. I learned that she had become a rabid socialist and had taken to the stump to enlist sympathy and support for her cause. Among the crowd I recognized Elizabeth Beal. A socialist herself, she was “earwigging prospective constituents for Stella. 1 half expected to see Olive ( apie among the throng, but was told that she, as manager of the “Hustlers,” was with her team in Newark. I learned that the players were all women with whom baseball was the latest fad. Olive’s team was famous throughout the United States as the “Redoubtable Confalon Grabbers. Dazed by the kaleidoscopic swiftness of the day’s events, I sought the com- parative quiet of a “movie, which was noted for its wonderful music. Nora Lane was the organist, and T listened, spellbound, to her. Before my scattered wits had time to collect themselves they were routed further by two lovely visions in Bathe events. Could I believe my eyes? The stunningly-attired visions were those of Ethel Griffin and Natalie Wilkin. They were in a group of personages that formed a picture entitled “Society at Palm Beach.” Wearily I closed my eyes, only to have them pop open again at the dulcet tones of a well-known voice. The pictures had given place to a vaudeville per- formance Featuring Jane Landry in Irish impersonations, which brought down the house. Leaving the theater, my mind still in a turmoil, I was startled bv the clangor- ous gong of an ambulance. Swept along by the excited crowd. I found myself in front of a hospital around the corner. Upon the stretcher they were carrying into the building was the form of Helen Detwyler. I rushed frantically after the sur- geons and found myself in a spacious hall with Catherine Rogers. She explained to me that she was superintendent in the hospital. “Isn't it sad about poor Helen,” she said. “After she left M. I. she began some experiments on transplanting Oriental flowers. Two weeks ago she began working with some kind of a poppy and fell under its soporific spell. She has been in a trance ever since.” While Catherine was talking 1 received a sudden inspiration. “Send some- one immediately to M. I., I ordered bruskly, “‘and bring me the gong in the cor- ridor.” I hastened into the patient’s room, where Madeleine Clark, an efficient nurse, soon brought me the gong from the messenger. Placing it close to the vic- tim’s ear, I caused the gong to ring. The result, was remarkable. “Gracious! I am late again for special dietetics.” And the prone figure leaped from the bed and ran out of the room. Just as 1 had thought, the sound of the gong had created an hallucination in her subconscious mind strong enough to break the spell. After 82 receiving the congratulations of the hospital staff, I then found myself alone with ( atherine Rogers. Our conversation concerned the old times at M. I. and I learned that the methods of Margaret Canfield, for restoring sub-normals to normality, were used by the medical profession everywhere. Alice Gillette was the founder of an orphan asylum and in her element, making cakes and beef rolls for three hundred children. Then the label on a bottle, in a ward through which we were passing, caught my eye. Il read “Sterritt's Infant Food.” Ii seems that Adella had successfully brought up nine children on it. In the next ward N innie Schultz was telling stories to the children, who listened spellbound. “Have you heard about Lillah Ferris?” asked Catherine. “She is the country’s foremost dietetician, supervising fancy cooking at the White House, at a salary of $25,000. I soon left the hospital. In the street I met Helen Felter, hastening home, and gladly accepted her invitation to dinner at her house. She gave me the latest gossip and I was shocked to learn that Vera Eddy had been taken into custody that afternoon for violation of the penal law against fortune telling. She had retained Esther Fisher, who had an enviable reputation as a lawyer, and Vera was out on $5,000 bail. She would be prosecuted I learned, by Nina Nixon, the county district attorney. Oh, yes, the times had progressed considerably since I left school. Alma Graeper was another good example of the feminine ascendancy. She was Lnited States Consul General to the Philippines, where she was greatly beloved by the natives. At Helen’s home we found the card of Margaret Miller. 1 was informed that Peg had retired from teaching on a pension, and was very much interested in the cultivation of pear orchards. Charlotte Smith’s photo was on the table. “Dixie” has espoused the cause of the negro and she and Virginia Gaskcll were now teaching in Tuskegee Institute. Enid Himes and her husband came over in the evening. I couldn’t help experiencing a pang of envy at her description of her artistic little bungalow. Then the conversation turned to Edna Low rev, one of the representa- tive women of the country. The daily newspaper accounts of her exploits and achievements were awaited with breathless interest and admiration by the hosts of newspaper readers in every city. But things were becoming less distinct to me now, and suddenly I found I was awake, my dream ended, and the morning sun shining on the great pyramid. No longer was I lonely, but happy in thinking of the fortunate fates of my class mates. And just as the pyramid stands out, a glorious figure through all the ages, so may the name and fame of June, '16, forever remain in the eyes of the world. im 83 Normal lonipstir Art Katiiahine Saham Heebee Rochester.

The day was done and softened into quiet twilight. Tranquility was supreme as 1 slowly wandered in the quiet country. As the twilight lengthened and the silvery stars looked down from above I seemed to move in some strange fairyland. Sweet harmony from the flitting of myriads of fireflies and the chirp of the cricket and katydid swept me further on and on. until 1 found myself lost among the shady dells of a glorious fairy garden. “1 wonder of the future of my classmates,” 1 mused, and quite suddenly, as if in answer to my wish. I found myself gazing into the clear depths of a crystal ball. As I looked, 1 beheld a wondrous vision; first dim, then growing more dis- tinct, wherein Esther Law, thin in the days gone bv, drew curious crowds into the sideshow tent of “the greatest show on earth,” as Tillie Tuhb, the world's fattest woman, presented under the personal management and direction of Katherine Beebee. The vision faded; another came. It was that of Ethel Linscott, Marjorie Lyddon, and Irene Walsh, I lie inseparable trio, still as fast friends as ever, running a fashionable dressmaking establishment on Fifth Avenue. After that I saw Etta Cannon, who, it seems, had taken a dislike to teaching and had become a moving picture actress, succeeding Miss Helen Holmes as the “dare-devil actress of the screen. Another of our class also gave up her work for a life on the stage. It was Grace Harvey, who became a famous singer, at present singing with Caruso for the Victor Opera Company. Not a little of the success of this theatrical star was due to the clever advertising of her press agent, Esther Burrill. The scene changed to Europe and I saw Helen Cassebeer, now a wealthy widow with several counts and dukes following her from London to Paris, then to Home. Margaret Neary was also there. She attached her name to a pair of stockings which she knitted and sent to France. The soldier who received them fell in love with her work, started a correspondence, and later married her. Next Miriam Meyer appeared as the head of an orphan’ home. She got tier wish- not only six—but one hundred and six. My next vision was that of Florence Carter, who was the sole agent for Carter’s “Lillie Liver Pills.” Beatrice Dayton had followed her profession and had a fine position in Webster. mi INI m ! nox I saw the sunny smilli where Lola (’ole was acting as traveling companion for an old lady. Lloisc Fuller, Alma Jartline, and Mildred Earl were all married and had com- fortable homes of their own. Edith Mulligan and Hath Curtis had become rivals of the Castles and were giving dancing lessons to fashionable Xew York. Their latest dances were the Mulligan Hop and the Curtis Wiggle. “Glad” Wilkins was running a candy shop in opposition to “ Mary Elizabeth.” The name “Glad Candies” was quite a taker. The next vision was one of Alcia Strange. She became famous and wealthy through the invention and sale of a wonderful concoction, guaranteed to make you grow while you sleep. The picture faded. I rubbed my eyes and looked around, but no ball or fairy could I see. Perhaps it was all a dream-------Who knows?

Slawson, ( nee Sarah leeks ex. 16 ) Alfred Meeks Slawson diu' fattnr (01 usa (Dffirrru President Lenabelle Pickard Vice-President J. Malcolm Owen Secretary Winifred Philleo Treasurer Miriam Mabbett We, as Juniors, feel very much flattered to be allowed to contribute our history to the Ramikin, since, as Freshmen, we were crowded off in a very small space, without even the privilege of capital letters. Grateful as we are for this leap in the estimation of the Ramikin Board, we must state, in justice to ourselves, that it is only one indication of the dignity and importance we have attained in the eyes of the faculty and student body, since a year ago. The reason for t his is easily understood when one con siders our situation, as mediator between the immature enthusiasm of t he lower classman and the super-sophistication of the Seniors. Through our Officers and representatives, we have endeavored to give to each and every student organization and activity our loyal support and co-operation. The Junior Household Arts and Science Club, something entirely new this year, has supplied a rather long felt need among the girls, and brought them together in a social way. We hope that other Juniors will see fit to keep up the interest and spirit of the club. Our informal dance, given the las! part of January, was an overwhelming suc- cess, and we are now planning a farewell party to those of our friends leaving school this year, which we hope to make for them, a never-to-be-forgotten occasion. This will be the Junior Prom, on June 9th. We take this opportunity to extend our best wishes to the Senior Class, and bid them Auf iedersehn. We are trusting that our last year will be as successful and as full of inspiration to others as theirs has been to us. Hil_ INI 129 (Clans nf lflir SmitrBtir rirttra Shcrleigh T.

The individual, with certain tendencies, certain desires and certain aspirations, more or less consciously at a certain period in life, makes a choice of some school which represents to him or her the at tainment of those desires, the consumma Lion of which makes for a life of success and satisfaction. The Mechanics Institute of Rochester has for many years been performing a most valuable service to the stall and nation in shaping young men and women who have come under its influence during the past, years. The importance of this service is being recognized more and more as time goes on. It is being recognized because the ideal of the school has become the ideal of the nation. The national ideal today is preparedness not only preparedness for war, but preparedness for the performance of the splendid works which distinguish a nation essentially peace loving. Mechanics Institute has been sending out trained men and women since 1885, prepared to help in the work of making our country dis- tinguished for the beauty of its cities and for the efficiency of its methods of indus- trial production. No nation which lacks distinction along these lines can hope for a real place in the annals of civilization. For this reason it can be truly said that the ideals of this school are in proper conformance with the ideals of our country. Mechanics Institute lias prepared many teachers and many workers. Il is not boasting to say that they have been well prepared, that they have caught the spirit of the school, which is the spirit of our time. Those who have gone out as teachers have played a large part in the great change which has taken place in the organization and administration of our public schools. They have helped to make our schools places for the preparation of those who have to live and work in a world which finds the true expression of its phi- losophy in the conquest of the material. They have helped make our schools places where the people can learn the useful arts of peace. The value of such a service can not be doubted. Those who have gone out as architects, chemists, mechanics, or designers have taken with them a knowledge of the skill and science which tlie world demands of those who are to well perform its tasks. A vast array of homes, public buildings, and articles of use and beauty are the material accomplishments which these graduates point to as the best of testimonials as to the value of the training which they have received.

Our aim has been: First, to carry forward the work of the Councils of other years and to add to this such new activities as seemed practicable; and secondly, by making every student familiar with the business and procedure of the Council, to impress upon him the necessity of his individual interest in making its work effective. 1 lie basketball team played a number of games and bad, on the whole, a success- ful season both socially and financially. Although it is rather early to say a great deal about baseball, we are very confident, for the team is working hard and has a good schedule as well as the support and enthusiasm of the entire student body. As ;i means of bringing all the students together in a friendly way, we have inau- gurated a series of dances for Tuesday and Thursday noons in the girls’gymnasium, because they arc a source of enjoyment to so many people, and because they have made for a better understanding among all departments, we feci that these dances ought to become an established custom in the school. The holding of regular assemblies each week has also been a great factor in promoting school spirit. They have served to get important announcements before the school and also to give the students an opportunity of hearing many interesting and instructive speakers. Not a little pleasure has been contributed by the Musical (’lubs, and the singing from the M. I. Song Book. We have every reason to be proud of the “Question ibis year. It lias grown immensely and gives the news of the school in a live, snappy fashion. I he Glee ( tubs, under the direction of Mr. Harry Thomas, have done some very good work, and have hown their ability by the excellent concerts they have given. The value of membership in such society is obvious and it is to be hoped that the enrollment will be greatly increased next year. We realize the great progress made by the students in the matter of unity and co-operation during the past year, and we fool, too, that its further development will accomplish an infinite deal for the welfare of our Alma Mater. me 1M 150 THE EXEtTTIYE COMMITTEE OF THE WOMAN'S LEACil'E The Woman's League, having as it’s foundation the general welfare of the women of the Institute, has been able this year to accomplish many things for the girls in a social and economic way. Suppers have been held occasionally in the girl’s “gym” with games and stunts afterwards. Particularly enjoyable was the one held in the form of a Children’s Party, at which we all were allowed to act as foolishly as we wished. (Our idea of a good time). The various houses have been investigated and every girl can be sure of a pleasant place to live. The new work committee, organized to help those of the girls who are in need of extra employment, has proved a great convenience both to them and to people outside of the Institute. All these things, together with the adjusting of the constantly arising problem of rules and administration and general supervision of all women's activities, have been the work of tlie 191.5 191(5 Executive Committee. a In' iExmititu' (Cammilter Anna R.

Not only has there been a marked increase in membership and activity, but, through an affiliation with the city branch, we have been able to enjoy the greater privileges of the Administration building. Many girls have availed themselves of this oppor- tunity, particularly for swimming, and also for special gym work and Vesper services. The Bible Study Class lias again been under the leadership of Dr. Cherry; that for mission study being taught by Rev. A. C. Baldwin. We arc helping in the support of a worker in Japan, Miss Baker, who is making the spirit of V. W. C. A. fell among the girls and women of that country. On December 3rd, 4th and otb, at the imitation of the Rochester Student olirnleer I nion, the State Student olunteers held their conference in the city. The meetings were held in Asbury Methodist Church, where, on Saturday night, our girls prepared a supper for the entire delegation, sharing the expenses with the I . of R, and the Theological Seminary. Always an effort has been made to reach every Freshman who enters the Institute, but this year a new committee added to the Cabinet, together with i lie co-operation of the Senior Mothers have enabled us to carry out the work more systematically and completely. At the weekly meetings we have the advantage of hearing many of the best speakers in town, and the girls are lead to an interest in various activities: social service, story-telling, and the like. Once a month there is a social meeting, usually some especially worth-while speaker, with “eats afterward. Occasionally the . W. A. and Y. M. C. A. hold a joint festivity in the way of a supper and “stunts,'' We are sorry to leave all these tilings behind us. The fellowship, the work, the play. But all that the Association here at M. I. has given us of faith and understanding we are bound to carry with us. And we leave to the V. W. C.

A. was organized at Mechanics, it was with the purpose of fostering a spirit of companionship and unity among the men. Probably this plan has been carried out more successfully during the past year than ever before, because of the splendid co-operation on the part of the male student body. Especially have we tried to do this among the new fellows, to reach each one with the personal welcome of a good grip and an open heart, thus initiating him into the big brotherhood which is the real meaning of the Association. We began by finding him a pleasant room and congenial acquaintances. It was a good start and has led to the support of other . M. C. A. affairs. The regular Monday Night Bible ( lass has been taught at the local V. M. C. A. building by Mr. W. ('. Judd, with a supper before the lesson, during which, talks have been given by prominent Rochester men, and occasionally by sonic particularly interesting worker from out of town. Our chief “didings” were the joint meeting with the Y. W. ('. A, of the school, very enjoyable, at least from the hoys' point of view, and the bowling parties where some of the men displayed their accuracy- at rolling down the gutter. This year the paid-up-membership is larger than ever before. That, in itself, is encouraging, but, better still, the men are entering into the spirit of the V. M.C.A. and making a good name for themselves. We are now hoping to be able to send an M.

Dear ’Thuse— Pm awfully glad to have been your successor as mascot of the Art League this past year, and can report with all modesty that 1 have not only followed your splendid precedent, but have reaped a few laurels on my own account. The annual roast was held at Summerville as usual, and all due regards to Professor “ Pep, was a “headliner. There was a marvelous sunset and a whale of a moon and for a time I thought that all present, being artists had forgotten to cat but, they turned out to be more than human. 1 didn't attend school the next day. Along Hallowe’en time I was so restless and excited that something had to happen and wo “pulled off ’ a party at the Alembic Club, also a dance at the Bevier Building. The party was a “howling success, literally speaking. 4Thuse, dear, 1 must admit that when the pie, salad, cider, and other things appeared, they didn't even think of me, That's where you put one over on poor “ Pep. All came to the dance in costume as it was a masquerade, and 1 howled in glee to see them dancing around the leaf-bedecked hall. 1 served the punch. 108 In December, five or six giggling freshmen were put through the torture chambers of the Alembic Club; then fed and amused. The boys don’t seem to like me. We had a “real” dance that same month, and little “Pep was there with bells on. (I'm sorry you don’t approve of slang, but what can one expect with a name like mine?) After I lie dance I had a severe attack of the grippe, but tried to plan another dance when I suffered a relapse. When 1 recovered we had a sleigh ride, and not to kill you with more detail,’Thuse, have kept up the pace ever since for, you know It's always fair weather When good fellows get together.” Now at the close of an eventful year, successful both socially and financially (I wax eloquent), I can sav with fervor, May all good luck and happiness attend the Art League; may the new president and officers prove as energetic and efficient as those of the present time, and as the League has been, so may it be-and then some .” Your hotter half, “ Pep.” 109 £ ntwir tJlaij Dtitiiirh Allrytatta' Peter Barbury Miss 1 aieas Otto S treble Beresford Cruder Georgia Chapin Carola ( hapin Sir Humphrey Bunn Beatrice Carew Flower endor Simms Lady Bunn Willie Bunn Egerton Brown Annette Waiter Mercu ry I )ancers People at (’arnival (£a t Mr. Ralph Cogswell Miss Ada Cole Mr. Roy Macintosh Mr. George Snell M iss Katharine Beebee M iss Edna Lowrey Mr. John Doane Miss Agnes Traehenberg M iss Natalie Wilkins Mr. Kenneth Orhaker Miss Gladys W ilkins Mr. Stanley Van Riper Mr. Ralph Smith M iss Adelia Venor Mr. Jacob Hilgernian Miss Ruth ( urtis Miss Davina Sheldon and Mr. Frank Dunn Miss Mulligan, Miss Schell e wish to extend our thanks to Mrs. E.

Due in a large measure to the effort and enthusiasm of Mr. Cmop, coach and faculty manager, the team has had an unusually successful season without a single defeat recorded up to date. The organization has been in the hands of Mr. C’roop and James Lord, the student manager, appointed by him. The financial business is the work of a com- mittee headed by Ralph Smith, Chairman. This committee, through gate receipts and the baseball entertainment given at M. I. on the evening of May 10th, has raised sufficient funds for the maintenance of the team. The first game was played with West High at the West High Athletic Field, score 2 0 in seven innings. Freeman struck out fourteen men. The second game was also with West High, the final score being 10 4. After the fifth inning the game was called off by Air. Gray, the West High coach, who had had “’enough,” for Mechanics batted both Slattery and Hunt of West out of the box. McIntosh made a home run with the bases full. We had an easy victory at Charlotte. Score II 5 and Pier pitching. In the R. R. I. game, the boys showed real class, being able to hold their hard- hit ling and good-fielding opponents down to three runs. Score, 4—‘5. After playing Fairport High, a previously undefeated nine, the score stood •5-2 for us. Freeman allowed three hits and struck out nine men. Muelendyke made a two base hit. Shoudy and Farrell played a star game, Shoudy fielding three long drives out of four, while Farrell accepted and handled six chances without an error.

(Offtrmi President Ralph Smith ice-President Harold M A ('KAY See re t a ry [ a r ett a C lo ugh Treasurer M rg cjerite Richardson Rack in 1913 the Krails Klub was organized; its purpose to create an interest in Manual Training, and to develop the educational and social aspects of the work. We began on the social end and succeeded beautifully. Who will forget those early gatherings, particularly the “feed features?” Ibd that was when we were Freshmen, and as yet knew not the meaning of work. However, when the faculty were so cordial about introducing us. is it any wonder that enthusiasm was forced to slump a bit? In the fall of our Junior year, the Klub “came back,” and under the leader- ship of George McAIevy, we had an outing at Golah, and sustained two or three meetings. But soon we were making regular furniture, tables and chairs and all sorts of “stuffs,” and again it looked as if the club had slipped. However, the spirit wj s there lots of it—and when il began to boil over we simply had to do some- thing. Ho we elected “Reverend Smith president, and right then our dust became noticeable. If Now we have a social meeting every month at the Alembic Club and ask any member about “seeing Nellie home.” There are lectures along lirfes of dominant interest and then, too, there is real talent among the people themselves. Readings and songs, ‘'Bill Bailey and his I kalalee,” the clever couples who know the real vodvil stuff” and put over those snappy dialogues, not to mention the “ Krafts Klub Kwartetle.” YV hat they sing is not mere rags and rhymes, but the classy sort that comes done up in octavo form. Il is to be hoped that the students who leave Mechanics for work in technical schools, will do their best to establish other clubs of this sort. Such an organization maintains an interest in the learning of trades, stimulates creative genius, and teaches appreciation of useful work with the hands. We think there are no better aims.

On ye fifteenth of September in ye year of our Lord 1915, there came into one city of Rochester, a motley throng. And verily most of these did enter into a place called Mechanics Institute, and t here did learn of many strange and wondrous things. Ye Freshmen And in amongst the throng came ten queer youngsters, and enter into looked about and saw a church, and next ye church, spied they, a Colony. fair garden, and a large brown dwelling stood therein. And straight- way did they wend tlieir way unto the domicile. And there were met by a tall and stately damsel yclept, “Miss Anne” and by three teaching seniors, and were forthwith led to rooms in Freshman Quarters. Freshmen But soon there came upon ye youngsters fear; aye, much strange are fear, and greatly did they need to shake and tremble, for wrath Oppressed. of upper classmen did descend upon them. And verily right soon was sprightly Katy shamed for shrieking, and thereafter Billy quaked with awe and wept her brown eyes pink, because of much cleansing of shoes, for the fair maid, Zody. At the same time haughty Peg didst blow out wrath on Snooz and Peggy and Mary Ann stamped feet and wailed, nor would she eat till pacified by Molly. And then must Freddy needs sing “Forgotten” till sweet voice croaked “Forgotten” and alack, “Six little singers” at coni- mi 1M manci of awesome Maxie. And Harry did play lady's maid at Edith's bidding till Marian Callup—ed in to take the task of weary Birdv, and with unkind pictures adorned the walls of Cray room. Came next a shower bath, like ice, for Bessie Ileff, whom good Snookie rescued, half drowning. Concerning Soon there was an eve of wildest jubilation, when Seniors and Initiation. Juniors, out upon the green sward, viewed with joy the frosh initia- tion, All! by my faith it was a goodly sight. E'en Dix did glee at Ka tty’s weird flirtation. Much amusement did ye poor Frosh furnish to police- man and passersby and to our callers. And after flour paste batter as banquet song and speech didst flutter. And peace did reign again in ye Hall of Colony. Here ended Chapter the First. On Hallowe’en soon came upon us with Carnival and Dance in Hallowe’en Yama Yuma garments. And guests did come from far and near and Picnics and with them gaiety and music sweet and prancing. On each and every Saturday that came thereafter, we happy Colonites did set out merrily into ye land of picnics in divers groups and numbers. And once to- gether all ye twenty-seven damsels did go for frolic in one great carry-all unto a place hard by the lake. Returning rode they through the mists and came unto the Halt, drenched, but joyful. Followed this ye Tlillhurst ilia party with eats about the fire and dancing. Much fun was there when Freshman Peggy did monopolize, easting eyes of envy at Kay's Harley. Observation And rules they kept, most faithfully at all times, and gladly on Rules. W oman's League suppers attended. So ended the Second Chapter. Merriment at Christmas. Truly quoth And when the time of Christmas tide approached, high revelry reigned within the Hall. Dost not recall the carrolling at breakfast and ye next grand gathering, ye slam party with gifts and slams galore? And ye chamber decked with greens and tree and tapers ? the scribe: “Fine time enjoyed by all.” The Army of Freedom Suffers Defeat. Now out upon the highways trapsed ye maidens, much chap- eroned, to hear ye jollity and noise of election night. To hear glad tidings of freedom and ye victory of Suffrage! But chagrin and sadness found them homeward trudging—cause lost-—to bear ye duties and ye burdens and still to have no vote. 104 Miss Anne But on a ne er-to-he-forgotten day, the great Miss Anne and Goeth she who was House President sallied forth to foreign lands. A Abroad. week they were from home. Meanwhile did ye honor of Colony take vacation also, and rules and quietness were overcome. 'Phis, ye Coionites did deem good sport, and unto this day there lingers within their hearts the memory thereof. Thus ended Chapter Three. Woes And then along midst trials and tribulations o'er teaching of Ye dietaries, Freshmen sewing. They all did manage oft to meet Colonites. together to relate their varied grievances, plan futures quite as- tounding, pour forth their woe and listen to good tales of towns where they had dwelt; the while they drunk of tea and ate Seeks trifles. But for- getting worries, they oft did band together and skated danced, took great long hikes, and learned to swim. One day came Shriners’ Bal Masque and great rejoicing when Dr. Smith, the invitation sendeth, for them to he ye great arid grand court-ladies. Joy returns Their spirits fell though soon thereafter as forth they went to ye to have their faces shot------as thus appeareth in this Ramikin. Colonites. And now ye dames of Colony made merry at ye forma! party, marvelous in hand-made decorations. Jollity and mirth ran high. This was ye year's sensation. Fndetli here Chapter Four.

A. of the city, was opened on the twentieth of last November. The Association remodeled the house and the various chapters furnished it. Privilege of occupation was extended to Mechanics girls first of all. and later to others. There are now eighteen girls, with room for ten more, and when the annex, now being built by the association, is ready, ninety can he accommodated. Phis will also give space for more living room. Although “real” parties at Kent have been rather scarce, good times have not been lacking. A masquerade on February 3rd, for instance, was all that a masquerade should be a thing of fun and folly, and plans are afoot for all sorts of affairs in the future. As an experiment, the first year at Kent Hall has proven very successful.

Here we are engaged in the “problem” of co-operative housekeeping, testing whether this club or any club so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met in the house of Wellington Club to dedicate a great portion of our daily household duties that the efficiency of such a system may be proved. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. Hut in any sense we cannot shirk, we cannot avoid, we cannot ward off difficulties. We brave ones, living and alive, who have labored here, have estab- lished a reputation far beyond the poor power of our descendants to add or detract. The faculty will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, hut they can never forget what we did here. It is for you, prospective Juniors and Seniors, to he dedicated here to the unfinished work which we who have fought (?) here have thus far so nobly advanced—that for this honored house you take increased interest in that cause for which we have given our last full measure of devotion; that you here highly resolve that we ten shall not have slaved in vain—that this house under Hat shall have a new code of “responsibility’—and that these rules of the Club, for the Club, and by the Club shall not perish from the earth.

Why don’t they give me something good to eat?” when the wise Kevvpies appear, one bearing a dish of delicious, sparkling Raspberry another bringing a spoon, and one carrying from sight the hateful medicine. Dorothy’s happy face expresses her approval. “America’s Most Kamovs Dessert” is good in the sick-room as in the dining room, for the delightful pure fruit flavors of Jell-O appeal to all appetites. There are seven of the flavors : Raspberry, Strawberry, Lemon, Orange, Cherry, Peach, Chocolate. At all grocers’ and general storekeepers’, 10 cents each. A tightly sealed waxed paper bag, proof against moisture and air, encloses the Jell-O in each package. A beautiful new Jell-O Book telling of a young bride’s house- keeping experiences has just been issued. It has splendid pictures in colors and will interest every woman. It will be sent to you free if you will send us your name and address. THE GENESEE PURE FOOD CO.. Lo Roy, N.
