If you like to win but think you cant; It’s almost a cinch you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost, For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow’s will; It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you’re outclassed you are; You’ve got to think big to rise, You’ve got to he sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man; But soon or late the man who wins, Is the one who thinks he can. 31 A. M. Croop, Rochester, N. Y.

This our goal is ever, ever, yearning for a broader store. We go forth forevermore. But Mechanics we’ll remember, it will ever be an ember In our minds a glowing ember, brightening the path before; For the world shows us its treasures, and we seek a goodly measure, To improve, we hope with pleasure, pleasure, a thing we all adore. Kind thoughts and thanks to out school and friends; we earnestly implore Remember us forevermore. Helen B. Fuller. 40 HOUSEHOLD-ART Domestic Science Ruby Jane Abbott, Huntington, Incl. Y. W. C. A.

We were pestered by the usual number of guides and cabmen. Among those calling “Taxi we spied Martin Bullis. One of the persistent guides proved to be Willard, who said he was an Engineer of People. We were attracted by a large sign on a small building, “Apple Pie a-la-Mode a Specialty, after which came something with a fly on the end of it. Flies or no flies we went in and ordered something to eat. Such full plates astonished us and I looked up at the waitress to inquire who had charge of this lunchroom and to my surprise I looked into the eyes of Mabel Rice, as small as ever. She informed me that “Bill Rankin owned the place with Ruth Caney as Business Manager. She also told me that Janet Lymburner, Jessie Cole, Marie Oakes, Helen Schreiber, Helen Purcell and “ Dolly Buck were also there as waitresses. Not that they needed the exercise but wanted to occupy the spare time between treatments at the Mabbett and Meulendyke shop. This was a repair shop, guaranteeing to make short people tall and tall people short. Mabel informed us that she was off duty at two o’clock and would show us about the city. Our appearance must have impressed her as she took us to a noted shampoo parlor run by Malcolm Owen who had as his model LaVerne Geyer. We learned from LaVerne that Zipporah Wilcox was in Alaska teaching the Eskimos to play basketball and that Mildred Willson was selling Orthopedics on West 15th Street. The sound of a fire alarm caused us to run into the street, reaching there just in time to see Harry Wilson jump on a hose wagon, forgetting for the time being that he was an ordinary book agent. With greetings and salutations he was carried down the street. The fire was so small that it only scorched a few hats in the millinery shop run by Mabel Magill and Mary Quigley. Being interested in hats myself, I strolled in. In one corner sat a familiar group—Ida Lavine, Jeannette Lanigan, Olive Winegar and Jessie Fraser talking so fast and loud that they didn’t hear me close the door. I listened to the conversation—Helen Fuller had taken Edna Cornish as her model in a first class tailoring shop. Not caring to interrupt them, I walked to the window and looked out. There I saw Christine Spraker and Marjorie Schoeffel standing in an automobile, labelled “Woman Suffrage.” A large crowd had gathered and were eagerly listening to the noted speakers. In an instant their attention was turned in the opposite direction to salute the Mayor, Arthur B. Wrigley. As we walked up Broadway, we heard: “This way to the show of the hour. A special program. Read the Bulletin.” Looking up we recognized the voice as that of “Steve” Brodie. At the entrance I was startled hy familiar giggles. I turned in time to see Mary Travis, Sabra Coston and Marjorie Scott just going in. The posters announced the all-star cast in the Pfohl-Macdonald Pictures, with 94 Sherleigh Anderson and Sylvester Brown -heroine and comedian. Maud os- burgh and George Budds -vampire and villam. 1 he musical feature was by the famous “Round the World Troupe” of whom Edith Hutchins was the pianist, Clarence DeMars, baritone soloist. The headliner being, “Hank” Henry and his Ukelele. As it was time for our guide to return to her work she hade us farewell. hile the vaudeville promised to afford us a few pleasant hours, we did not want to take the time just now as our trip was to he especially a sight seeing one. As we were walking along taking in everything we noticed a crowd gathering around a window. We joined the crowd and there saw Eleanor Church and Helen Gamble demonstrating a new tireless stove. Wishing to have a closer view, we pushed forward much to the dislike of a rather robust lady, none other than Josephine Sundberg, She did not remember us at first hut finally recalled that we were at one time classmates. Such a tale as she had to tell. She had just been to the Art League reunion. Marietta was the wife of the New York Central Corpora- tion lawyer and was living in grand style on Fifth Ave. Grace Cashurn was running an orphan asylum. Eleanor Wright was editor of the anti-sport journal. Ethel Herrington and Muriel Jones were teaching in a reform school. Mayme Ogden was the originator of the new and popular Kra-Z decorative design. Ruth Mason had just been released from a sanitarium where she had taken treatments for a nervous breakdown, due to a dream that the entire class of 1917 had paid their dues. Mildred Clark was running a famous dancing academy- We went to the McAlpine Hotel. At the clerk's call of “Front” Simeon Kase jumped up and took care of our baggage in a most gentlemanly way. Having a little time before dinner, we decided to read the evening paper. Under new corpora- tions we saw the Abbott Telephone Co.(at last Ruby has a private wire). On the editorial page was the name of Helen MacMillan instead of Beatrice Fairfax. W e saw a large advertisement regarding the new book, “How to Become a Private Cook,” by Helen Fairchild and Isabel Burt. A picture caught my eye. It was Antoinette Douglas, the star of the Do-Little Photoplay Co, The noise of the big city was such that we slept little and were up early in the morning. It was too soon for breakfast so we took a little stroll. On upper Fifth Ave. whom should we meet hut Elsie French and Rolena Utrich. They stopped long enough to inform us that it was not an unusual occurrence for them to he up so early. To our regret we had to refuse their invitation to hear Countess Char- lesitsky, no less than our talented lola Brozitskv in her famous opera. Farther down the street we found “Winn” Phi 1 leo's Day Shop where she solved the prob- lem of not cancelling any more dates. We went up to the New York Herald office to read the bulletin. I bis is the way it read: Elmer Baker is on the world’s champion baseball team and is now in perfect health. Weight —normal. Corlis Harkness—Pres. Anti-saloon League. 95 s It am 1 k I Volunteers for China lean Macpherson M arion Wilkinson We then boarded a car to return to the hotel. There was Agnes Gooley taking her first lesson on how to run a trolley. She said she hoped we would come to k air- port when she became a motorwoman there. In the center of the car sat Esther Clyde and Gladys Reed on their way to rhe Rescue Mission. As we stepped from the car we were almost run into by a Buick “Our car ” run by “Picky herself. The next thing to confront us was the Salvation Army led by John VonHold, playing the cornet as usual. He informed us that he was over- joyed with the fact that he was able to send as delegates from his army, Mabel Haines and Genevieve Mason to Washington, On returning to the hotel, we saw Katherine Hayden, Gladys Hayward, Marion Stewart, Florence Turney and Alice Williamson, who were interested in raising money for an O, M. Home. Our next trip was to the Bellevue. On the second floor a healthy looking nurse, our same “Beanie” Lapp shook hands with us. She was not alone for soon Elsie Stevens appeared, almost but not excited. She couldn’t locate the “Trio.” Irene informed us that they were harmless but must be found. That seemed curious so we followed them in their search. As we passed through the ward we saw poor Hazel Knowlton who had been burned by an explosion in her home. In the nervous ward we found P. Mansfield, a physical wreck from trying to sell LaFax. Finally we located the “Trio” on the observation pavilion. One was counting figures, another pictures and the third writing. They were Edna Gulick, Walter Willis and Helen Halloway, We escorted them back to their proper abode. On our way we met the dietitian, Elizabeth Kelly and her assistant, Ethel Meskill. We must hurry now as it is nearly train time. We were loath to leave this big city that held in its midst so many friends but duty called us elsewhere and we must obey the call. JUNIO =A ila M I in Harold Shoudy, President. IA M I K 1 NT Junior Pear September Back to Mechanics, we all did go. Were you there on time? ’Twas the twelfth or so. Juniors of last year are Seniors now, And we Frosh, that were, to them did bow. October To work with a will, Juniors, one and all, No time to spare around the hall. For we are record breakers about all things good, So we always are doing, just that which we should. November A Movie party—Did you attend ? Well, if you didn’t, I recommend That never again let a party go by, For Junior parties are never dry. December Many plans we made for our vacation so long, Every M. I. student for a furlough is strong, But after the absence of two weeks plus a day. We were glad to return to our classmates so gay. January At our “Social Evening” we had great fun. About each other, we wrote many a pun. Wit predominated in every event, For on having a good time, we all were bent. February The shortest month of all the year Is always a month to hold most dear. The “Poster Dance” started us off right, The other dances helped to make things bright. ] a I 2 March The second term ends, the third starts in. We are all keeping up with our kith and kin, One and all make good TO DO or TO DIE, Is what should be termed as the “Eighteen cry. April Out-of-door athletics are well under way, For Spring is here and all are gay. Watch our men make a “hit.” Watch the ball roam. One man on “third” the other “slides home.” May The usual events in an unusual way Are sure to take place in the month of May. Trips to “Highland” and all around, To study all things that spring from the ground. June Our Junior life is all but o’er, To our history we contribute but one thing more, The Prom (our apex is reached at last) This event will stand out when all else is past. 101 11A M 1 K. 1 ouseijclt) girts anti triente Department Aldrich Doris Blake, Jessie Cooper, Lois .

A A iilatcl) the Corners When you wake up in the morning of a chill and cheerless day, And you feel inclined to grumble, pout, or frown, Just glance into your mirror and you will quickly see Its just because the corners of your mouth turn down. Then take this simple rhyme, Remember it in time: Its always dreary weather, in countryside or town. When you wake and find the comers of your mouth turned down. If you wake up in the morning full of bright and happy thoughts And begin to count the blessings in your cup. Then glance into the mirror, and you will quickly see Its all because the corners of your mouth turn up.

I was written some time during the year of 1915, no definite record has been kept of the date. I only remember of being hurriedly scribbled in pencil and copied in ink at about eleven thirty the night previous to my appearance in English class. There I was read by my author, handed to the teacher, and placed in the latter’s office, where 1 remained for several days. Here I thought my life’s work was over for gradually dust began to collect on me and my fellow papers, but, one afternoon we had a surprise. We were picked up, sorted, arranged alphabeti- cally and read. But maybe the word read does not express my feelings; the phrase “hashed over” would he better for really I nearly succumbed to the attack but managed to escape with many red gashes and a G + marked on my last sheet. Yes, I was sort of proud of myself and, in fact, nearly lost my front page while “puffing up.” A few days later I returned to my owner and was inserted in a note book. 1 hat same year, 1915, I traveled in a trunk to a small town. When I was un- packed it certainly was a relief, for 1 had been completely flattened but I guess I was doomed, for I was next stored in an attic under the eaves, along with sewing and textile notebooks. My life in this attic was not noteworthy even though it did last nearly two years. Suddenly one day this spring I was literally hauled out by my corners and taken hack to Rochester, my old home. It puzzled me, this sudden return, hut one evening about three weeks ago I over heard this remark, “I know, I shall use that old theme again. All that will he necessary will he to recopv it.” Thus again 1 appeared in the English class but on new paper, styles change, you know, the method of folding varies with different teachers. I was read, “rehashed,” and finally as a crowning reward was marked E—■. Maybe three years from now I will reach my desired goal—A BIG E. 106 T WT7 FRESHMEN JTrsIjmrn President ’ice-President Secretary Treasurer Class Officers James Costello . Ida Kessler Dorothy Dorrance GERTRUDE GR AB B LITTLE did Mechanics Institute realize what a wonderful class she was ad- mitting when she extended her arms in welcome to the class of 1919. Surely, 1919 was a diamond in the rough! A hue array it was, when we, the pride and glory of Western New York, assembled ourselves in the registrars office for in- spection. Although it was a warm sultry September day there were no visible signs of wilted linen collars for all Steuben and Ontario Counties wore celluloid collars, and as a rule ready-tied bow ties. The suits looked as if the owners had been made to fit them instead of the suits to fit the owners, while the shoes had been rubbed and polished until the genial face of Dewey R. was reflected in all comers of his office. The whole scene was amusing to say the least; giving one the impression that there had been a bargain day at one of the clothiers on St. Paul St. Many of us still had the unmistakable stigma of a high school in the form of a class pin or perhaps a ring from the boy or girl back home. But day by day ready-tied tics disappeared and linen collars took the place of celluloid ones. T hen the reception came, in which we were so royally entertained by the faculty and upperclassmen, there was a grand display of English-cut suits, Fancy ties; the class pins were no more, and the rings were now hidden on the watch- chains. But the native traits of Fairport as well as Batavia had not entirely dis- appeared; here and there was the fox trot ‘ direct from Corning” while the one step as danced at good old Ithaca still prevailed. Not satisfied with but one reception the upperclassmen planned a second; this one, however, was not quite as pleasant. We were made to play the part of fresh- men being very roughly handled all the evening. It all ended with a business meeting over which Seniors presided. They told us how we might avoid meeting with such characters as the Juniors and Seniors. Here, however, did we as a class of royal Mechanics Students stand hack of our name and respond most heartily in the days to come, with an attitude of friends, not too high and lofty to lower ourselves to their society and converse with them as students of our equal. We now saw the need of class officers, and an organization that we are proud of was formed. Next we turned out a winning basketball team showing its supe- riority by breaking even in the honors with the Seniors for the championship. We also held a dance that was purely a class affair and a success. I lungs innumerable have happened to make our class a success and only modesty keeps us from relating them all here. We shall leave it all to time to show that we are an honor to the name and have a right to be called the class of 1919. k-amikin i)ousel}olt) Silrts mtb Science department Amenteleanor Armstrongcyrill Bedellfern .

The natural beginnings of the movement took place of course in the home. During the first years of “Domestic Science” and “Domestic Art” classes both home and school were strengthened. There remained still another field to be worked before Home Economics should have fully come to its own. This field, that of social service or social activity is a fertile one. In 1906 there began in New York City the so-called Visiting Housekeep- ing movement. At first the workers in this group were concerned in doing preventive and constructive work among dependent families. This involved setting safe standards of living, and making various contributions to the wage situation. We come now to work among independent families. This is the next logical step in Home Economics development. The new Extension Department of Mechanics Institute aims to find out to what extent the public is interested in systematic study of home problems. The department hopes to stimulate this interest, and to perform a definite service to individual families and to Rochester. The up-to-date housekeeper takes pride in a well kept home, and frequently feels the need of advice about certain problems that arise in her field. She wonders if she is planning her expenditures in the best possible way. She is interested in obtaining the greatest amount of nourishment from the food provided for her family; in short, she is ambitious to attain the highest results in her profession of homemaking. These are some of the questions the new bureau proposes to discuss with housewives who are interested. The scheme includes working with the homekeeper so as to later present definite information on the following points: 1. Practical proof of good results to be obtained by systematizing home problems. 2. How much food do we need and how much should it cost. 3. How far can proper diet prevent ill health. 4. Best ways of eliminating waste. 5. How can the individual family help the city. The bureau is planning to publish a series of bulletins dealing with such sub- jects as: The Eamily Income and Family Needs,The Family Budget, Shelter,Cloth- ing, Food, Recipes. In connection with the neighborhood work there will be daily demonstrations at M. I. These demonstrations will be planned so as to fit into the general scheme of work with family problems. Physicians, public health workers and all who are interested in our present day problems are acknowledging that they need the co-operation of homemakers and homekeepers. A strong city is one that is made up of strong family units, units prepared to face their own problems clearly and to meet them effectively. 122 % )t ftentp Homt) £ onetj T! IK 1 lenry Lomb Society has completed its second year as the Senior honorary society of Mechanics Institute. Students are elected to the membership after successfully completing a three years' course, the election being based on scholarship, personality, and an active interest in student organizations Four new faculty members have been chosen to fill various vacancies occurring since the original body was named by the Student Council. The new members are Mr. Barker, Mrs. Gelli, Miss Van Horne and Miss Case. Announcement of the 1917 election was made in assembly on May 2nd.

Its aims were to promote student activities, which at that time were almost at a standstill, and to systematize those activities winch did exist. In spite of many difficulties, this first trial of student government at M. I. was very successful. Each passing year has seen improvements upon the original organization. I his year we feel that it has accomplished more than ever before, but we will be greatly dis- appointed it still greater progress is not made in years to come. The inauguration of the “Student’s Association Fee’’ has probably been the greatest forward step made by the 1917 Council, because of the many possibilities it has opened up. I he attractive schedules of the Basketball and Baseball teams, and the ability to plav the schedules to a finish were made possible by this fee. Both of these teams have brought credit to the name of M. 1. The compiling of the new Student’s Association Constitution is another accom- plishment worthy of note. It is designed to stand the test of years. The plans now under way for the publication of an M. I. handbook for the in- coming Freshman Class is a step toward meeting some of the urgent needs that have existed. I he publication of a new song book for free distribution in assembly, is another feature of the year. Our Assemblies have been remarkable, due both to the good speakers and to the fact that lor the first time in the history of our school they have continued throughout the entire year. The present Council wishes to express its sincere appreciation to the entire student body for the loyal support it has given during the past year. Without the co-operation of everyone, many of the things which have been accomplished would have been impossible. 125 President . Pice-President Secretary . Treasurer .

Through unfortunate cir- cumstances the original constitution was lost, and the league has, during the past year or two, been struggling along with only a few rules for guidance. Needless to say. under such conditions success was almost impossible. Now with a new constitution and rules we expect to make the League one of the really big fac- tors in the lives of M. I. women. Our plans for the coming year are not yet entirely settled hut we are looking forward to many social gatherings when the girls will become better acquainted with one another and a host of other good things are in store for M. 1. girls. We wish to develop the spirit of co-operation, good fellowship and loyalty. Preside Jit Fice-President Secretary Treasurer Cabinet Officers 1916-1917 Clara Coleman Emma Nickerson Lillian M.

A. during the year of 1916 17 has been to make the girls feel at home in M. 1. and the City. Soon after school opened in the Fall, a tea was held in the rest room and a cordial invitation was extended to all the girls especially the Freshmen. An effort was made to acquaint the girls with the city churches. I his was accomplished by taking a church census. The churches of various denominations co-operated with us by extending personal invitations to teas and social gatherings in the church parlors, also entertainments in private homes, with the result that in a month’s time the girls had found a church home. The weekly meetings have been well attended and have been an inspiration to all. They have been held Friday at 12:55 o’clock rather than after classes m the afternoon and we feel that this has allowed more girls to attend the meetings. Under the leadership of the Conference Committee, a delegation of twenty-five students attended the State Student Volunteer Association at Cornell University, December 4, 5, 6, Those who went appreciate that it was time and money profitably spent. The work of the Social Service Committee has been most interesting this year. 129 It- A M I K T X More time has been given to it than previously and some very good deeds have been done for unhappy people. The most interesting perhaps was the work at the County Home where the girls would read, play the Victrola and entertain the people there in various ways. At one time there were forty girls doing this work. In January, the Cabinet managed an evening’s entertainment called “The Animated Question.” Besides boosting the school paper, the latent talent present in our student body was allowed to make itself known. I he Cabinet, composed of the officers and committee chairmen, has met on 1 uesday evenings to plan the activities of the Association and to become better acquainted with the National Organization. The spirit of co-operation shown among the members of this group has been remarkable. Miss Wellington as our advisor has never lacked in suggestions when a new problem arose, and her prompt- ness and enthusiasm has been an inspiration to all. Formal installation services were held in the Assembly room, April 20, at which time the 1917-18 Cabinet entered their respective offices. The old cabinet took this opportunity to express to their successors sincerest wishes in their future w'ork. A A A “ 1 he implanting of good and noble principles is the best means of destroying those that are unworthy.” r 1 A A “He who deems small things too small for his state, Will be too small for things truly great.” A A “No man is down and out until he has lost faith in himself.” A A “ Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time.

I he photographs of the coil reproduced above were taken while the coil was discharging streaks of lightning more than four feet long through the air. It re- quires about two kilowatts of sixty cycle current at three hundred volts to produce the above discharge. 4 The coil will produce long sparks of a good quality, generate sufficient voltage and current for the largest X-Ray tubes, excite vacuum tubes for electrotherapeutics or demonstrations and will also generate ozone at a very liberal rate.

President Fice-P res ide nt Secretary T reasurer Officers William Rankin Elmer Baker Arthur Wrigley Sheldon Henry THE average M. I. student does not realize the work that the Y. M. C. A. has done and is doing. Our meetings and doings do not receive the publicity of those of the Y. W., but our Association has grown and is developing along the lines of social service since its organization in 1914, Being aware that the social activities at M. I. were numerous the Y. M. has not emphasized that phase of its work. Co-operation with the Rochester Central Y, M. C. A. through their Social Service Secretary, and several conferences with the State Student Secretary, have been of great benefit in building up our organization. The freshmen were taken care of by a Y. M. C. A. reception committee. Not only were the men aided in obtaining boarding and lodging houses but also in many cases they were aided in finding suitable work. The attendance and influence of the Life Club has been steadily increased. Every Monday evening� under the leadership of Mr. W. H. Judd, we have met at the Central Building. We ate with the Fellowship Clubs at six thirty. The ten minute talks following the feed were by men who are prominent not only in local but in national circles. We had several joint meetings with the University of Rochester 134 1 CM 7 group. We have also had special talks by prominent business men of Rochester. Many Mechanics men are members of the City Y. M. due to the arrangements of the two organizations whereby reduced rates at the new building were given to our students. A team composed of M. 1. men was one of the successful ones in the Rochester Y. M. C. A. membership campaign last fall. At the “Rverymemher Dinner” in the Central Building the M. I. Y. M. furnished entertainment features. We sent delegates to the Student Volunteer Convention at Ithaca in November. Plans had been made whereby we could send representatives to Ithaca, to the State Convention and to Eaglesmere, Pa., to the National Conference, owing to the existing conditions these conferences have been canceled. We are concentrating our efforts upon the Northfield, Mass., Conference in June to which we expect to send several delegates. The most important work of the year has been that with the University of Rochester and the Theological Seminary. The State Student Secretary acting in an advisory capacity was present. Two meetings of the University of Rochester, I'heological Seminary and Mechanics Y. M. C. A. Cabinets have been held during this year to plan for the association work in the respective institutions during the next College year. J his is but a start in the important work, the held of which is unlimited. Next year these meetings will he held frequently so that there may be greater spirit among the college Y. M. C. A s of Rochester.

D. Being a fat healthy youngster and the only child, I imagine I was considerably spoiled. In speaking of my character. I’ll frankly admit that I’m troublesome, somewhat lazy and too fond of pleasure. My good points I enumerate with pride: I’m ambitious, original, in- genious and (not to be guilty of a pun), artistic. I might modestly claim a sort of fame. On the whole, my life has been quite pleasant. Of course I was not immune to trouble and enjoyed all the diseases common to children of my calibre. Though they seemed tragic and even fatal to my guardians (my parents were taken from me when I was three and I’ve since been at the mercy of tutors and governesses), however, I am still alive and kicking. I am in my thirteenth (lucky) year. I have worked hard and feel greatly re- paid both mentally and physically. I have not neglected society as you may judge from what follows. Io begin with I bad a stunning dance, a black and white affair, fm very popular and a host of my friends came. Then there were several informal teas which were most pleasant and occasionally we had speakers at these. It was at this time that Mr. Herdle of the Memorial Art Gallery explained to me the “isms” of painting: cubism, impressionism, futurism and post impressionism. Mr. Adler was present at one and brought with him some of his etchings. At our 136 y January tea inifred Ivan did several beautiful dances which I enjoyed immenseK • I was given a wonderful Halloween dance with decorations, cider and every- thing “Spookey.” Then there was the Christmas party in the Alembic Club. Santa Claus certainly did his duty in tactfully bringing forth every one of my faults. Shortly after the Holidays I had another dance which was genuinely enter- taining and following this was the Annual Costume Ball. This year those who at- tended represented characters in literature. The things 1 liked most were the discussions that I had when I ate supper with my guardians and planned stunts while we were eating. My governess would not allow me to play all the time and so I started a sale which was most profitable financially. I he play which Mr. Butler wrote and 1 produced was an affair which did credit to my bringing-up. 1 hose were happy days! All’s over now and I'm so much better and wiser for them. I've entered my “teens failed in a few things and succeeded in more and as one must quote in closing his reminiscences, I'll say there’s Something accomplished, something done, He’s earned a summer’s repose. A A “Issy” Vogel is an artist of fame, Whose cartoons are certainly worth a frame, He screens his “drawinks” from publics view. And covers them with insurance too. 137 nu President Officers Elmer Meulendyke V ice-President Harry Wilson Secretary Muriel Jones Treasurer Ethel Herrington THE Krafts Klub was organized under the present constitution on October 14, 1915, and has from the beginning been one of the most successful and best attended in the school. The aim of the club is to unite the students of the industrial arts by a common social interest, to provide entertainment which will be beneficial as well as enter- taining and to promote the interest in vocational education in circles outside of M. I. There are great possibilities in these aims and we hope that the club will prove a lasting benefit to those interested in the vocational side of life.

Our Alma Mater dear, A song of love and loyalty And honor through the years, We think with hope, of days to come, With joy, of days gone by, But always foremost in our hearts, Is our old M. I. Within thy portals hroad and tall, We have worked and played, We’ve hearkened to Dame Learning’s call, Of labor unafraid. In work or fun, we’ve played and won. Such memories bring a sigh. We never, never will forget Our old M. I. A last we stand outside thy doors, Looking forth forever more. The great wide world is calling us To tasks that lie before. With trust that we will win the day, Gleams victory in our eye. We’ll do and dare, we’ll do or die. For our old M. I. Words by Arthur B.

Geyer I lie Question has completed its thud year of existence starting when this senior class entered, but we are very glad it will not end with them. The Editorial Staff and Business Board are in fine working order, and have a spirit of co-operation and efficiency, which is essential to the success of any school paper. I he Question has gotten out its regular sixteen issues and one sensational extra, the P. I). Q. Many of her issues have had more than the regular number of pages, consequently more news and interest. In the Christmas issue various features were introduced to distinguish it from the regular news publication—stories, a cover, personal jokes and a livelier and more attractive make up. We can only say to the staff : Keep it up and to the school at large—support your school paper, and keep in touch with all M. I.’s activities. Pji tgma JDfjt (Local) Founded 1901 Robert J.

I. girls have been actively engaged in Red Cross Work. Evening meetings were held once in every two weeks and much work was accomplished. Before the first of May, 200 flannel binders,! 7cushions, 300 surgical sponges, 82 bandages, 700 tampons, and 4 pairs of bed socks, were sent to the packing station. At the last meeting which was held May second, forty seven were present and many more supplies were finished. I he evening meetings were discontinued because of the organization of day classes. A volunteer com- mittee with Miss Peck in charge arranged twelve two hour classes a week. In these the girls learned to make all supplies needed for hospital work. At the end of the term the work was rated and certificates given to the members of the classes. The girls earning the certificates will be capable of starting supply stations and organizing Red Cross work in their home towns during the summer months. 165 JBops Ceam ith rlie close of the basketball season it is only just that a few comments should be made upon the good work done. 1 he team, which had hut one veteran, played a well planned but exceptionally hard schedule of fifteen games. While the defeats were in the majority it must not be forgotten that none ol these men ever played together before. Much credit is due to the Captain and the Coach who kept the men in good spirits and urged them on at all times, especially when luck was against them. We have the satisfaction, however, of knowing that all but one of our men will be back next year and we are sure of a winning team next season. H. C.

Now and then a few calm, quiet, peaceful words pass from the lips of the almost-but-not-quite- yet-educated personages. No smiles. Junior who occasions to be in the midst of these wise heads—“I hope Miss Van Home likes this. Goodness knows 1 have spent enough time on it.” Brief Course girl sleeps sweetly on the couch in yonder corner. Not a care in the world. Never anything real to study, just a trosseau and such things to dream about. Noble Senior (Studying D. A.

I Ins sure is some punk plan.” A senior dares to enter hurriedly--sits herself at the table places feet on top of waste basket. “Now I shall study I). A.

I’ve got ’em and I’ve gotta wear ’em. The only way that 1 know of getting into Miss Duntz’s room is to go in the waste basket.” Care-less senior “Let s go where there’s some excitement.” Marion Wilkinson enters very quietly. She speaks not to her friends but gazes into the Red C ross case and passes out. Junior comes in from library where she has been making out a dietary. With sympathy she speaks to friend doing likewise, “What are you doing? Why 1 had to give the baby more milk too. All that kid does is sleep and eat.” Friend “ I’m doing the same thing; stuffing the baby.” Re-enter Marion W this time whistling sweetly. “Do you kids care if I pull these windows down?” “No.” Marion “Oh, I thought maybe you did.” Enter I (i.

The decision is made for the girl who is trying to compose the intelligent sounding letter. Zip. (a steady flow of conversation for the amusement of all), “I wouldn’t send my picture to anyone. 1 never took a decent one in my life. Guess I wasn’t cut out to be a schoolmarm anyhow. Any of you girls want me to go up to re- ceive your medals in assembly today? I know all about who is to have them. A member of the faculty told me.” Senior—“Oh, the faculty make me sick.

But of the gentler graces lose not sight; If you can dance without a craze for dancing; Play, without giving play too strong a hold; Enjoy the love of friends without romancing; Care for the weak, the friendless, and the old; If you can master French and Greek and Latin, And not acquire, as well, a priggish mien; If you can feel the touch of silk and satin, Without despising calico and jean; If you can ply a saw and use a hammer; Can do a man s work when need occurs; Can sing, when asked, without excuse or stammer; Can rise above unfriendly snubs and slurs; If you can make good bread as well as fudges; Can sew with skill, and have an eye for dust; If you can be a friend, and hold no grudges,- A girl whom all will love because they must; If sometime you should meet and love another. And make a quiet home amid life’s mad whirl, With you it’s soul; —you’ll be a wife and Mother, And more, a woman of the best, my girl.” IL A M I k. l 'N House ijp tije tbe of tfjc Boab (A recent and valuable contribution to literature and one that is being quoted extensively.) There are hermit souls that live withdrawn In the peace of their self content; There are souls, like stars, that dwell apart, In the fellowless firmament; There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths Where highways never ran; But let me live in the house by the side ol the road, And be a friend to man. Let me live in the house by the side of the road, Where the race of men go by. The men who are good and the men who are bad, As good and as had as I. I would not sit in the scorner’s seat, Or hurl the cynic’s ban; Let me live in the house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. I see from my house by the side of the road. By the side of the highway of life, The men who press with the ardor of hope, The men who are faint with the strife. But I turn not away from their smiles nor their tears, Both parts of an infinite plan; Let me live in my house by the side of the road And he a friend to man. I know there are brook-gladden meadows ahead And mountains of wearisome height; That the road passes on through the long afternoon And stretches away to the night. But still I rejoice when the travelers rejoice, And weep with the strangers that moan, Nor live in my house by the side of the road Like a man who dwells alone. 180 1 Q i 2 Let me live in my house by the side of the road here the race of men go by; I hey are good they are bad, they are weak, they are strong. Wise, foolish—so am I. I hen why should 1 sit in the scorner’s seat. Or hurl the cynic’s ban? Let me live in the house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. Sam Walter Foss.

From now on our paths will separate—will lead to every nook and corner of the world. But while we are yet a part of the big M. I. family gathered under the banner of the Blue and Gray, let us look back over the mile- stones we have passed upon the way. These have been happy years, but we feel that the year of 1917 has been the happiest and best of all both for ourselves and our school. A better spirit and a different attitude seem to exist, and we feel cer- tain that our worthy Alma Mater can never again revert to the “Sleepy Hollow” indifference of days gone by. This has been a year of improving old customs, breaking the old traditions that have hindered progress, and the setting of pre- cedents for years to come. Probably the most noteworthy event in the forward march of our school this year, was the arrival of our new President. Mr. Barker has quietly taken his place among us and has as quietly worked his way into our affections. The dynamic force of his personality has permeated the whole school, and with him at the helm, we can easily foretell a bright and prosperous future for our M. I. For many years the students have been handicapped in their activities because of lack of funds. 1 his year the innovation of the Students' Association Fee has gone far toward meeting that problem. The fine spirit in which this plan has been ac- cepted is more than pleasing, and the good things which have resulted from it are indeed gratifying. Of course there were a few who were tardy in paying up, but had it not been for them we would have missed all the excitement of those memorable “Schallay Days.” It is said that there are black sheep in every flock, so we should be thankful that we have so few of that pessimistic, unloyal type with us. We of 1917 are hoping that next year and in the future, plans will be made to have the fee payable with the tuition, thus doing aw ay with much confusion. The inauguration of the “ Fee” is probably 1917 s greatest contribution to this and coming years. We may feel that our short stay here has not been in vain. Because of our association’s enlarged treasury, we have been able to operate our school athletics upon a larger scale than ever before. Excellent schedules, involving the expenditure of hundreds of dollars have been possible, and since a school’s teams are often its best advertisement, we do not regret our investment in the name of M. I. The student support has been splendid. A loyal, energetic, cheering crowd has at- tended every game of the year, and even in defeat has exhibited its loyalty and de- votion to the boys who wore the M. Our teams too, are to he highly praised for their work, handicapped as they have been by the lack of a suitable gymnasium and athletic field; they have made a most favorable showing against their opponents who have had these advantages. Our Glee Clubs have been carried on for a longer time than ever before, and were discontinued only when the students ceased to find time to support them. Dur- 182 T-5T7 X mg the six months while Mr. Bishop was leader, the boys and girls made splendid progress anti it is to be hoped that next year’s schedules may he so arranged that the dubs may continue throughout the school year. I he noon dances have remained as popular as ever and have been even better attended than last year. I he Thursday night dancing class has been most successful. 1 Ins class was organized by the council to fill the demand of those who wished to im- prove their dancing; Miss Wellington, who taught the class, deserves much credit in making it so popular. Let us not forget our Assemblies, for they too have become a permanent institu- tion at M. 1, We cannot imagine how they did without assemblies before last year, for these get-to-gethers have become an essential in our school life. Those on the Music and Literary committee of the council who were so instrumental in providing speakers and programs, cannot be praised too highly for their work, so well exe- cuted. Not every one has taken advantage of the assemblies, but those who have, realize their value. Let us recall this year’s carnival. It was pronounced by every one as the best ever. Gayety and gladness ruled supreme. Every one took an active part in it and felt more than repaid for their trouble, for the carnival was a success financially, and a great achievement in the matter of school spirit. “ Pay Day,” too, must be placed in the limelight of our summary. Last year’s “Pay Day” will ever bring back cherished memories of those happy holidays. The various organizations of the schools have also shared in its prosperity and progress. Perhaps the Student’s Council should be mentioned first of all, for its efficient organization has been behind practically every movement that has been for the good of the school and the student body. It has proven beyond a doubt that student government is successful and that it will continue far into the future of our Alma Mater. The V. W. C. A. has been one of the liveliest of the student organizations. The weekly meetings with interesting speakers, were a source of pleasure and inspiration. The Women’s League deserves much credit for its help in student government. The Y. M. C. A. through its “Pep” class every week at Central Y. M. and through occasional get-to-gethers at the Institute has kept in touch with its fellows and played its part in their school life. The Art League and the Krafts Klub, though perhaps not as active this year, have accomplished that which has been attempted. Considering all things, this has been a remarkably good year. The spirit of antagonism and aloofness which has existed between the different buildings, has dwindled down to insignificance. 1 here is a spirit of co-operation, even among our fraternities. The inter-fraternity banquet was positive proof of good will, good fellowship, and common loyalty. The large and enthusiastic group who represented M. L at the Student Volun- teer Conference at Ithaca last December proves our good spirit. Of all the colleges Ii A M 1 k. T X represented, Colgate, Syracuse, Vassal', Hobart, and others, ours was the second largest delegation. Our school paper has been a “Question” at times, but all school papers have their ups and downs. The present staff is publishing a good paper and making good financially. They deserve credit for work. We have had our look at the past. Now' I wonder if we dare take just a little peep into the future—just take a look at M. I. as wfe would like it to he, someday. Would it not be great satisfaction to come back in 1925 and find that our Alma Mater was no longer perched on the banks of the Erie canal? Would you not be w illing to pay a nickle to ride out to the border of the city and gaze upon the impos- ing structures of “ The Mechanics Technical and Normal College,” set in the midst of the wonderful natural scenery which Rochester affords? As you walk through the “Newr Eastman Building” admiring its simple but beautiful architecture you learn that degrees are now awarded, and that four year courses are being offered. Then you wander through the newr gymnasium with its auditorium upstairs. Around the balcony of the auditorium you see a series of little rooms. These are for different organizations. As you look out of the north window you can see the acres of green, tree besprinkled campus w ith its few but elegant buildings scattered here and there; and from the south exposure a glimpse of the athletic field may be had. Yes and there is the football squad just coming out of the athletic building, and the coach can be seen, giving his snappy orders. Whew—what an expanse of grand stand—probably fifteen thousand could be seated there; and it is said that the M. I. hoys defeated Harvard last season. Upon inquiry we learn that there is so much school spirit that nowr the Student Council have to hold down that spirit instead of forever boosting it, as they had to do in the olden days. Everyone is seeking the honor of the office in the various organizations, and the choice is so difficult, that a system of competition has been formed for every office in connection with the student body. Wouldn’t it he wonder- ful to go away from this visit in 1925 with that “grand, glorious feeling”—more proud of your school than ever before, and so impressed that you resolve to leave a part of the fortune wffiich you have accumulated while teaching in Brazil to your dear old Alma Mater, Sentiments of tfje Staff I wish’t I w as a rock a settin’ on a hill With nothing to do but just set there still, I wouldn’t eat, I wouldn’t sleep, I wouldn’t even wash, I’d set there a thousand years and rest myself b’gosh. 184 I 1 2 7 ADVERTISEMENTS 0 p BE RE E00 fflB 3 □ 0 BB 00 £d 9 9 9 9 9 y yy y yy y BB BBS 0 SB00 B GBBB0 00BB B 0000 3 H00B 3 m no m os □□ m □□ Be □□ □□ CD DO □□ OS 0 DD n “Girls who marry men wealthy enough to hire a cook ought to know something about cooking, so the}' can tell the cook how they want things.” After saying that, Henry T.
