THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE ROCHESTER ATH- ENAEUM MECHANICS INSTITUTE DEDICATES THIS, THE ELEVENTH VOLUME OF THE RAMI- KIN, TO THE MEMORY OF J.

Pollard Faculty Advisor Herueht H. Childs Ctritorial S WE lift the veil, and the day of our graduation ap- proaches, we look back upon the wonderful friendships formed during our school life—bonds that will be strengthened as the years go by—and it fills us with great sorrow to think of leav- ing Mechanics Institute. If, upon completing a given course and receiving a diploma, we were to consider our education finished, it would, indeed, be cause for deep despair, for it is upon activity of body and mind that we thrive. Our glimpse here of the world of knowl- edge must be only an incentive for us to learn more of its wonders. What the future holds for us cannot be forseen. Mechanics Institute has made our ideals the highest possible, and it is our hope that all who leave at graduation will uphold the honors and traditions of the school.

Forty-five Co tte Senior Class Each year old M, L sends forth a group of her favored sons and daughters into new fields With mingled feelings of joy and sorrow, she sees them go—-llappy because she shares their joy in their success, and sorry because she can no longer see and serve them every day. Yet this is as it should he, for new and greater fields of accomplishment and service await them. You of the Glass of 1922 are about to leave your Alma Mater. You have struggled through the tasks that she has set for you, and you are ready to undertake the greater problems that lead you on to success. Life is ever a struggle for those who accomplish, and each accomplish- ment better fits us for the struggles that are to come. A victory now makes possible a greater future victory. What we have attained in the past will ever stand—a beautiful struc- ture or perhaps a ruin. Nothing that we can do can change our true record one iota. The future holds more hope. We may build more beautifully and more solidly. We may build on the ruins of past failures because there is always the opportunity of analyzing our mistakes. What you have done at old M. I. is finished, be it good or poor, success or failure. Turn not backward, but struggle on, profiting by your mis- takes and “to yourselves be true ’ Your work lias been good. You are a credit to the school. We will always remember that you have been here because you are leaving a goodly heritage. My wishes are for your well deserved continued success, and as you go from us. think back to your old school, still trying to help some other fellow over the path you have followed, and lend a hand. Again farewell, and may success be perched upon your banners. Alfrki A. Johns. Forty-eight ftisstnrp 1919=1922 Do you remember us f Will you ever forgot us—the noisy, peppy Freshmen who entered this Institute on that September day in nineteen hundred and nineteen? Will we ever forget our initiation or the rules put down by the honorable upper classmen? No, never! We have been busy obeying rules ever since. The Freshmen class was guided through the year by its President, Hr nest Egbert. Our first step into society was the Freshmen reception given by the Faculty. Our names were pinned on us and we went around getting acquainted, being quite well satisfied with what we found during this process. We have stuck together ever since. During the Fall we held two different corn roasts up the river, and the Freshmen class was at last established in everyone's mind. Later in December we did our part in the annual Carnival by holding a regular circus which everyone voted a big success. The biggest fete ever accomplished by the greenies was the formal Freshmen dance at the Powers Hotel. Our class deserves much praise for this dance,—never before or since has a Freshmen class attempted such a big proposition, nor given a more successful party. Soon after Christmas a sleigh ride was planned, hut the lack of snow spoiled the realization of this. However, a roast and dance at Sea Breeze brought the class together in May for a final party. Thus ended our first year. Our second vear started with a bang! Junior officers were elected at once, and under the leadership of Harry Lcisring the class became well known. We were a class of many girls and few boys, so it was up to the girls to carry on the good work of the Freshmen class of 1919. L ids they did, with the help of the few men. No noon dances were considered well attended unless our .special delegates were there—Red Buckley and Dot McCormack, who were tile first to arrive and the last to leave. (Ask them.) Early in the Fall a weiner roast was held down at Durand Eastman Park. This park proved to he an ideal place tor the picnic. In December we again assisted in the Carnival with our show. Here we displayed tile evolution in women's costume since the Colonial times. The present in the garb of the past is always an attraction. F orty-nhie Tlk- Juniors held it Christmas dance in the Exhibition Hail of Bevier Building. The committee attempted to make it the best dance of the year. Odd favors and attractive programs made it the best dance, second only to the Junior Prom. The Prom lias always been the lug affair of the school year—and ours ran true to form and then some. As usual, it was held at the Hotel Seneca on Friday evening, April fifteenth, nineteen hundred anti twenty-one. The Junior class financed the undertaking,— all regular Seniors receiving a ticket for the dance. The committee with its chairman, Dorothy McCormack, deserve a great deal of credit for such a successful party. And now the Senior class steps forth. The mighty Seniors—with their old pep of Freshmen days, the strength of their Junior days, and the spirit of them both. The Federal Board men now joined us in the last year of their two-year course. Our officers are: President—J oh n M an the. Vice-President—Ellaura Minster. Secretary—Georgia M ilhan. Treasurer—William Farnum. An Entertainment Committee was organized with George Wickman as chairman. This committee is responsible for all of the Senior parties of this year. A sleigh ride was held in January and most of the bovs and girls enjoyed the walking—due to the lack of snow. It was a good party, after all. The committee arranged for a Senior party on March tenth. Another Senior party—a dance—was planned for April seventh, and a picnic some time in May. Srnior ©Hrffe program Baccalaurate Sermon—Sunday, June 11. Senior Day Monday, June 12.

Therefore, in looking back over our school life, we find that as a body, our activities have been centered in the Art League circles. However, as a class this year, our one big activity will be the Junior Prom, and may each and every one who atte nds have a most enjoyable time, with no un- pleasant memories to carry into the future.

In the beginning our numbers wire very large, but upon reaching our Sophomore year the numerical strength of our class could not be compared with that of our Freshman year. In spite of our numbers, however, we are still able to make ourselves known. During the past year we have been too busy to hold any social func- tions, but nevertheless, we hope to do so in the immediate future.

One Hundred Eighteen Jfresfjmen l istorp When the doors of Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute opened last fall, there came to school one of the largest bodies of students in the history of .Mechanics Institute Just little green freshies, but all had a smiling and fearless counte- nance as they were seen among the body of students. They had been in school about two weeks when they were called together by the President of the Student Council for purposes of organizing and electing officers. The first event of the year was the reception and dance arranged by the Faculty in honor of new comers. The following week, much to their sorrow, was known as “Freshmen Week. The girls appeared in corridors with their green middles and match less shoes and stockings. Hut the hair problem was worst . These poor children must have forgotten to comb their hair, or lost all the “rats” and hair-pins,—no powder and no paint, for von know— “Little drops of powder, Little daubs of paint, Make a girl's complexion Look like what it ain't.” Soon the men of the Freshmen class were ordered to wear yellow rib- bons and to abide by all rules,—hardest of which was, “Do not talk to the girls. Several of the boys broke the rules and received severe punishment of various kinds. To ask some of the men how they liked to return to the city on foot after a long ride in the country would bring out interesting stories. Dean Johns called all rules off before the two weeks were up, because of neglect of work and roughness and hard feeling of some of the students. At last, the Freshmen were free and happy. The great event of the year was the Carnival, and the Freshmen showed their talent in staging a very successful circus. The biggest joy in the lives of the present Freshmen class will be to help initiate the new coming “Frosh” next year. “The roads are pretty rough. The girls on the hack seat are bouncing around.” “What's that metal drop- ping on the floor of the ear?” “Noth- ing serious. That's the shower of hair-pins.” One Hundred Nineteen One Hundred Tw nly One Hundred Twenty-one lUtfwapfjp The department of Lithography was started a year ago with the idea of preparing students for this trade We have in tins department: (5 hand presses, 1 Ben Day Machine, 2 retouching frames, 1 stone grinding tank, a number of stones, drawing instruments, and artists supplies The interest displayed in this phase of the work has been very pleas- ing. It is difficult to place students ill this department at random because one must display a natural talent in order to become a successful Litho- grapher, to say nothing of the artist side. It is an easy matter to look at a poster and say it is beautiful, but one who is skilled will see more of the technique in this kind of work. The student also receives training in Geometry, English and Chem- istry, parallel with the Lithographic Instruction Work. Another phase of the work which we are not doing at the present time, hut are anticipating to carry on some time in the near future, is the Photo Lithography Work. This will involve more equipment such as a Levy Process Camera, 2 Lamps, Color Filters, as well as the equipment belong- ing to the Printing Room It is planned to have the students spend a certain amount of time in the Artist's work, in Transfer and Proving, as w’i II as in the Photo Lithography process. With this department fully equipped, we shall be in position to serve the industries of Rochester to a high degree of satisfaction both to the employers as well as the school.

Childs One Hundred Twenly-eight liceri At a meeting of tin Student Council early in the school year it was decided to abandon the practice of having the Siren printed outside the school, and in order that the Siren might be produced entirely within the walls of M. I. a Multi-Color press, one of the latest type of high-speed job presses, was purchased by the Council and the task of both writing and printing the Siren was turned over to the staff. As was to he expected, the results were not wholly satisfactory, but now that the work has been systematized the paper will be produced at a much smaller cost to the Student Association and it will be possible to embody features that heretofore have been impossible owing to the excessive cost of printing and engraving. The sixty-page Alumni Number was printed by the Siren Staff and it is expected that next year a more pretentious magazine will be published. Ctjr taff Lionel M.

CtneSt OTooblairb During t!i«• past year has occurred the death of one of the oldest members of the faculty of the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Insti tide,—J. Ernest Woodland, head of the Science Department and a scientist of national reputation. Mr. Woodland was horn in Wooster, Ohio, in 18(95, son of Lieutenant William H. and Mary Woodland, his father having, been an officer in the Civil War. He was a student at the University of Wooster from 1887 to 1889, where lie received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. He received the degree of Bachelor of Science from Dennison University, Granville, Ohio, in 1893, and that of Master a lew years later. He taught for eight years at Cook Academy, Montour Falls, where a large oil painting of him was hung in the main building several years ago, and from there went to Peddie Institute, Hcightstown, X. J., where he taught five years. He came to Mechanics Institute in 1902 as a teacher of chemistry and head of the Science Department, For a time he was Acting President, but had re- quested repeatedly to he relieved of administrative work, that he might devote his entire time to scientific pursuits. Mr. W oodland was known extensively for Ins analytical work in con- nection with Rochester industries. This included analysis of steel, gaso- line and other commercial products used in construction, installation of experimental work for the city, county, or private industries. His most recent activities included tests on a new fireproof safe for Yawinan Erbe Manufacturing Company. .Much of his work came from other cities where unusual problems had arisen in many lines and he had been called upon several times to make tests for coroners or other legal authorities, where the establishment of facts was necessary. He was a member of the Genesee f alls Lodge, 507, F, and A. M,, Ionic Chapter, 210, K. A. M , Cyrene Commandery, 39, K T., and the Photographic Club. He was also a charter member of the Rochester sec- tion of the American Chemical Society and was its chairman from Decem- ber, 1919, to May of 1921. At the time of his death, lie was a member of the Executive Committee, Since the organization of the section ten years ago, lie had been one of the foremost workers and bad contributed valuable papers on various subjects. Mr. Woodland’s death will he felt by Mechanics Institute, for lie was chairman of the Faculty Committee which is directing the educational end of the work, awaiting the appointment of a President to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Royal 15. Farnum. His long and devoted service to the Institute and his work has con- tributed largely to its success, and has been an inspiration to both faculty and students. One Hundred Thirty Uxojml IV Jfarnum At the beginning of tlit present school year the Faculty and students of Mechanics Institute were very much disappointed to learn of the resig- nation of the President of the Institute, Mr. Royal 15. Farnum. Mr. Farmings resignation came as the result of an offer of a position as Principal of the Boston Normal Art School, together with the position as Director of Art Education in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mr. Farnum entered the Mechanics Institute in September, 1918, as Director of the School of Applied and Fine Art. lie held this position for one year and was then offered the position of President of the Institute upon the resignation of President James F. Barker. In accepting the presidency of the Institute, Mr. Farnum expressed the wish to make the Institute of much greater service to the community in all of the ways it had previously been undertaken, as well as to open up new courses which would he of more direct value to the industries of Rochester. Inasmuch as he had been former Director of Art Education for the New York State Department of Education, he was well qualified to cope with the problems presented in the teacher training courses and was par- ticularly well fitted to handle the new and ever increasing problems in both number and magnitude in the School of Applied and Fine Arts. During the two years of Ids tenure of office some very noteworthy achievements were recorded. An arrangement was consummated with the U, of R. whereby our students in the Home Economies Department were enabled to secure the degree from the L . of R. by taking certain courses at that institution. This was in compliance with State regulations which require all teachers of home Economics to have a degree. The problem of eo operation with the government in the training of its disabled soldiers was most successfully solved, and the Institute has become one of the most important training centers in the entire district, comprising the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. From a very small number cf students, the Federal Board group has grow n to .something over two hundred men. Most of these students arc enrolled in the Department of Industrial Arts, hut some of them are in tile School of Applied Arts and Home Economies. In the Spring cf 15)19 a very successful financial campaign was launched to provide for the unpaid deficits of several years past and to purchase new equipment, as well as to provide for possible deficits that might occur in future years. The campaign met with great success and lias served to encourage the entire organization of the Institute because of the feeling that the general public is willing to stand behind the Institute in its undertaking. Largely through Mr. Farnuni’s efforts, the teachers of the Institute have received substantial increases in compensation. There lias also been a complete reorganization of the faculty that has alreadv proved its worth. The problem of greatly increased registration has been met and altogether tin1 general welfare of the Institute has been greatly improved. Inasmuch as Mr. Fnrnum’s training was distinctly that for Director of an Art School, he felt that lie could do nothing else hut accept the new position. Leaving the Institute, lit took with him the best wishes of every member of the faculty and of every student. His work in Boston has met with unqualified success and all connected with the Institute, alumni, faculty and .students; wish for his continued welfare. One Hundred Thirty-one Cijailfs . Ctictp The Alumni. Faculty and Students of the Institute were greatly shocked to hear of the sudden illness of Charles S. Tuety, who has been instructor in cabinet making and wood working subjects for years. Mr. Tuety was in his department on the morning of December 5th last and left the Institute about S):15, apparently to go to his home. At 10 o'clock he was found by strangers on Troup Street, lying on the side- walk. lit was immediately taken to the hospital, where he was identified. He was confined to his bed for several weeks, but has since shown marked improvement. Any former student in Mr. Tuety’s classes will realize what a tremendous loss this lias been to tile Institute for even this short period and will realize with what anxiety we look forward to his recovery. One Hnidred Thirty-two TO)? Cmergmcp Campaign The financial campaign which was conducted by Mechanics Institute during April, 1921, is, no doubt, still fresh in the minds of the Alumni. Many former students were active in this work, and their energy and ability, under the able leadership of Miss Ellen Putnam ( Hi) as Chairman of the Alumni division showed a spirit of loyalty truly remarkable, and made a profound impression on our Board of Directors and all who took part in the campaign. Subscriptions came from graduates near and far and all expressed themselves as pleased to do their bit. While the campaign itself was announced to the Alumni through letters and other literature, tlie plan of organization and some of tin numerous details connected with the work may he of interest. Necessarily, the raising of a great sum of money by means of a cam- paign requires a vast amount of preliminary work before the plan is made public. In our case many meetings were held by the Board of Directors to consider the project from its various angles and determine if it were possible to go to the friends of the Institute and solicit funds with any prospect of success. Once the decision was reached, activities began. Mr. Harry P, Wareheim, manager of the Rochester Community Chest, was chosen as campaign manager. Then followed several weeks of intern sive work preparing lists of citizens who were prospective contributors, lists of alumni, in and out of town, historical data relating to the Institute and its activities and usefulness. The Publicity Committee then took this mass of information and from it prepared the literature which was sent to every prospect shortly before the opening of the campaign. This com- mittee also prepared news articles for the local press and which were pub lished before and during the week of the actual raising of the monev. Another committee had charge of the details involved in the planning of dinners and luncheons, and which, by the wav, were all served under the direction of the Horne Economics faculty and the domestic science students. Rigid here it may be said that these functions were voted AA AI by all who attended them. Meanwhile, the general chairman was organizing the groups of solicit ors. There were four divisions, one of which consisted entirely of women graduates. This was known as the Alumni Division. Each division con- sisted of ten teams of ten men each, one of which was team captain, and a division chairman. In addition, there was a Special Committee, whose task was to inter view and solicit citizens and firms who might contribute large gifts. This committee was selected from the Board of Directors, and did most of its work prior to the opening day of the Campaign. Huge signs were erected in the Assembly Hall and Library where the luncheons were served, and One Hundred Thirly three were used to tabulate the reports of the teams as they were made, day by day. When the opening day arrived, the various divisions assembled to receive instructions and their lists of prospects, An ingenious plan was devised whereby each team bad the opportunity of selecting the prospects they wished; and with this part of the program satisfactorily arranged, everything was in readiness for the opening gun. It is impossible to go into the details of that exciting week, but each day's report by the teams brought us nearer the goal, and at the close on April lHli, more than $182,000 had been subscribed! Needless to say, everyone was overjoyed, for the result meant two things; that the citizens of Rochester believed in Mechanics Institute, and that it was going to be possible to make the Institute bigger and better than ever. It was a “grand an’ glorious feelinV The revenues derived from the campaign are being used to make long- needed repairs to the various buildings; for the replacing of old and obso- lete equipment with modern apparatus, machinery and furniture; the estab- lishment of a Practice House for the Home Economies department; the clearing of a deficit incurred during and subsequent to the war period; and many betterments. Over $10,000 has been or will be expended for new equipment and every department has benefited; and increased student en- rollment lias already resulted. This tale would not be complete without an expression of gratefulness to all who helped make the drive a success, and especially to our former students who responded, when the call came, with both time and money. Certainly Mechanics Institute has reason to point with pride to its Alumni. Idleness is the stupidity of the body, and stupidity is the idleness of the mind. So long as we love, we serve; so long as we are loved by others 1 would almost say we are indispens- able ; and no man is useless while he has a friend. Henry Van Dyke. One and red Thirty-fovr 0 ne II a ad red Th irty-fivc One Hundred Thirty-six e Idlin’ Hotnb H oiiet| The I leriry Lonib Society was organized at tin- instance of tlie Students’ Council of 191 a-1916 ft was felt that Mediantes Institute should have some honorary society, membership in wliioli should depend upon service to the school and scholastic excellence. Accordingly the Council appointed an organizing committee, com- posed of Miss I lew son, Mr, Lattirner, Mr, Lytle, Mr. Martin, Miss Tomer, Mr. Von der Laueken, Miss Wellington, and Mr. Wright. A constitution was finally adopted which provided that members should he chose n from the Senior Class on the basis of scholarship, personality, and school spirit. The aim of the society is well illustrated by the choice of its name The Henry Lonib Society. Henry Lonib, founder of Mechanics Institute and one of its most ardent supporters, was a man whose life and work typifield service, courage, and honor. The ideal which he set for himself is the ideal of manhood and womanhood which the society that bears his name aspires to foster. Mechanics Institute has been fortunate in having the continued support of the Lomh family; Mr. Carl F. Lonib is President of the Board of Directors. The Henry Lomh Society is proud to count among its honorary members both Mr. and .Mrs, Carl Lomh and Mr. Adolph Lonib. The membership of the such tv lias increased to well beyond the hundred mark. Each member was chosen because of his worth as an individual, as a student, and as a factor in the life of the school. During the first years of its existence the society was chiefly occupied in developing the machinery of organization. With that task accomplished the society is undertaking a program of activities which will make it not only an honorary organization, hut also one of actual service to the school and to its members. An incentive to increased activity was found in the luncheon meeting winch was held at Mechanics on February ‘Li. Considerable interest and enthusiasm was shown by the twenty-five or more members present. Plans of activity were proposed by a number of speakers. The kevnote seemed to be service, to do something worth while. It was decided, for one thing, to inaugurate a Henry Lomh undergraduate scholarship at M. I. The Finance Committee is already laying plans for raising the necessary funds. Other projects were launched which cannot he explained here because their success depends upon the element of surprise.

Its members are elected annually from each of the three departments in the school. Since 1920 the Council has been financed through the charge of a fee of four dollars a semester from each full course student. This enables the Council to do much in furthering school athletics and the organizations in the school which are under the jurisdiction of the Council. To each per son who pays the fee a card is given which admits him to all lionic games played by M. I. teams and to a copy of each issue of the Sire?!. During the Spring of 1 1 plans were made for the publication of a booklet of general information to be given to each student upon the pay- ment of his tuition in September. Mr, Leo Brown, of tile class of 1921, consented to assume the Editorship of the book and proved by his work that lie was amply fitted for the task. When we returned to school in the Fall these books were ready and thev filled a long felt want among both old and new students. This book is similar to one published some years ago and among other things con- tains a copy of the new Constitution of the Students Association which was drawn up and adopted last year. During the first year under the new Constitution tile Council lias worked steadily for a better athletic program and more activities among the student body and looks forward to even better things for M, I. next year.

The Women’s League is the only organization of the school to which every girl belongs, without the payment of dues or fees. The League officers arc chosen by vote to co-operate with the Students' Body in main- taining the high standards and high ideals for which Mechanics Institute stands. «Officers M klissa Simmons Gbrtri nt: Knoepfel Francks Grand all .

This was a task which required no little effort because of the constant use to which the house is subjected. Much credit is due to Secretary Lockhart for his untiring efforts, In order to save the finances of the organization for actual work among the students he spent many hours into the night from September to January with cleaning appliances and paint-brush, with the result that the M. L C. A. is now on a par with the rest of the school with its new coat of paint and wall paper. On January 26tll there was an inspection of the building by a coin mittee headed by Dean Johns, The Veterans’ Bureau, the Federal Board Club and the M. L C. A, Auxiliary were also represented. On the 5th of December a concert was held under the direction of Pat Lester and was attended by several members of tile Faculty. Miss Genevieve Rogers rendered several vocal selections which were much enjoyed. Master Henrv Krass delighted those present with his skill on the violin. Then came Christmas Day and the many invitations from outside sources, and these were greatly appreciated by the members of the Club, ’The man- agement of the Lyceum extended 75 to 100 invitations to the members of the Club to see To the Ladies” and again we extend our thanks to the Lyceum. A good social program has been outlined for tile balance of the year and its success depends upon the interest of the students, and an active Ladies' Auxiliary. A shower hath has been added to the building through the generosity of the Women’s Industrial. Educational Union. Formal acknowledgment lias been made. Outside organizations are being interested in the M, I. ( , A., and new equipment will he added from time to time. Let everyone get his interest working in right direction. Suggestions and constructive criticisms are always in order.

One Hundred Fifty•Hix One Hundred Fifty-seven rt league Owing to the large number of Art Leaguers and to the unusual mental rapacity of both officers anti members, a great deal was expected of us for tile year All anticipations were realized in the initial gather ing- tile Art League reception. On October sixt11, in the living room of Bevier Memorial Hall, tlie timid Freshmen assembled, and were exposed for the first time to the mystifying Mr. Ledden and were startled by too realistic a bit from the Arabian Nights, For their benefit Mr. Lip explained to them our reasons for existence. W e may draw our own conclusions when it is stated that three weeks later the Freshmen class, with few exceptions, were initiated n masse. Let us pass over that occasion as briefly as possible, sparing all grue- some details, gruesome being none too mild a term. Wo fear the Freshmen w ill never enjoy liver again. The latter part of the evening was very consoling, however. Food always is. And when one can at the same time least the eyes upon a “Dance to Spring ' executed in a curiously graceful manner by Mr. Pi nek, it is doubly enhanced. According to pleasant custom, the Art League dressed up mysteriously, put on a domino, and had a party Hallowe'en night. We remember with particular delight a rakish young Mexican, a bit too careless perhaps, with the whip. And we still dream sliudderinglv of a single candle casting long shadows, a gesticulating creature in a tattered shirt, and a hoarse voice whispering confidentially that “It was the eye that made me do it.” We could hardly wait to reach the topic of the Carnival, but now that we have arrived we know not wluit to say. The simultaneous spasms of the audience were far more expressive than mere words could ever be. It seems we have artists in more than one line in our organization. With what tender pathos Mr. Pinck rendered his part. The exquisite elegance dis- played by Mr. Woodward. And oh! the villain of the piece! Rave, rave, rave, 'Twas a wonderful show', I agree; But a fragrant whiff of that onion strong Will ever come hack to me. 'Flie Art League succeeded unusually well in the Christinas sale this year. With an extraordinary array of extremely salable articles, and under efficient management, it was very creditable and quite worthy of us. On the evening of January thirteenth, the Art League sallied forth into a cold, white world. Snugly ensconced in sleighs, we viewed the snow bound city. We certainly had time to take in everything as we crunched along. The snow packed splendidly and Mr. Clements proved an excellent marksman. Sustenance was waiting upon our return. We were reminded of the Walrus and the Carpenter as we watched the oysters disappear. As a fitting climax to the evening. Put Lester and Arthur Blauehett soothed each savage breast with the guitar and violin. Mr. Flp suggested that we have such occasions often. Loud applause. We have acquired a reputation. We have a past to live up to. Such being the ease, we greet the future with ardent anticipation.

One of the most successful years of musical achievement was 22, for the musicians of old M. I. Never before in the history of the school was there a musical organisation that has made such an enviable record as has this year’s orchestra. Orchestras have come, and orchestras have gone, hut none have enjuved such a glorious stay as did this year's, by far tile most distinctive by virtue of the fact that the ’22 orchestra was the first to achieve the dizzy heights of official recognition of Mechanics Institute. This organization is composed of a handful of youths who like hun- dreds of others have endeavored to make these surroundings of ours just a little more cheerful, and by popular acclaim, have served to that end with uncanny precision. Youths, we have called them; yes, in age, hut in musical accomplish- ments they are veterans; and now that the season is at an end may we say that you have well fulfilled your mission, and while your good work in this instance is behind you, let it serve as an inspiration for the future, bearing always in mind the old slogan, ‘Semper Allegro Moderato.” The orchestra set a worthy precedent this year by giving its services at the dances following the basketball games. This made possible the playing of two more games by the basketball team.

The club was organized in 1919, and during the first year became distinctive by farcing forth when the elements forbade ordinary sport. Many bikes have been made by the Ewaiters, giving the overworked mind the best possible rest and putting color into pale cheeks, as well as bringing home an appreciation of the beautiful in the great out-of-doors. A fine start was made this year when Miss Lena Wessell, the club chaperone, entertained royally at the Nurses’ Chib on Goodman Street. There, gathered around a huge fireplace, bright plans for the future were discussed. Since then new by-ways have been discovered near the out- skirts of the city, and a few good hikes have been taken. We have learned that Cobb’s Hill, on a very cold and windy day, is a good place to keep away from, and that the Dorm is just as cozy as we always thought it. Also we shall never think of 102 llazcl Street without calling forth visions of good eats. Tisn't such a disagreeable old world, after all if you are an Ewaker.

The evening was spent in dancing and various other forms of entertainment, and altogether every one present enjoyed a very pleasant time. Already many similar events are being planned for the future.

Girls' Dormitory has had a very active year, After the stre nuous initiation of the newcomers and frosh, the frivilous life began with an autumn dance in Bevier Hall. Through- the efforts of the social and music committee the girls have enjoyed a very talented musical, Christmas slain party, Christmas formal dance, tea dances for each of the six floors, and many other good times in the Dormitory. The Library has been replenished through the kindness of friends. The ever popular, much sought, house dues, have been the means of purchasing music for the piano ami victrola. The girls of the 1922 class were first to have lived in the Dormitory, as it was first opened when they were freshmen three years ago. There has been considerable discussion concerning a name for the Dormitory. Hitherto it has always been called 'Girls’ Dorm ’ or Mechanics Institute Dormitory. Among the names suggested for the Dormitory are I.oinb Hall and Woodland Hall. Let us hope that ll)2‘i finds it properly named.

The purpose of this club was to bring together the disabled soldiers into a closer fellow- ship. Joseph Davis was elected as the first president of the club and he succeeded in making it a strong organization, cne which could he do pended upon to aid any disabled veteran in time of trouble. Terrance O'Donnell was elected to succeed Mr. Davis, and, although his term was short, lie made some changes in tin club which benefited the members materially. When Mr. O'Donnell was transferred to Pratt Institute. Harry SI laugh nessy was chosen to succeed him and is president of the club at this time. He thoroughly believes in the old adage, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So lie immediately started in to give the members of the club some very interesting activities in the form of “Smokers, dances, etc. Among the smokers was one given by the Knights of Columbus which was so enjoyable that it raised the spirit of competition in the hearts of their brother Knights, “The Alhambras, who immediately held a rival smoker which was such a success that the judges were unable to decide which one was the better, and it Mas declared a draw. The club has been successful, not only through its own efforts, hut through the assistance of several outside sources. The Rochester Red Cross has been more than helpful in several cases, and lias never refused a request for aid when aid Mas absolutely needed. The U. S. Veterans’ Bureau, of which Maurice J. Sullivan is manager, can always be relied upon to give assistance to any project for the betterment of the club and the nun know that Mr. Sullivan is behind them in all that they wish to accomplish. The 1 - M. C. A. lias been very generous in helping the men and through its efforts a club house, better known as the M. I. C. A., has been secured. Here the members of the club get together for a social evening m hen their lessons are finished or the instructors have been un usually kind in alloting lessons for the next day. In the two years which have passed since the organization of the club, much has been accomplished and during the next two years this organization hopes to grow into a stronger body of men which will stand for that which is good and upright, and which is for the betterment of the nation as a whole.

Last September saw the fraternity comfortably established in the “Chi Delta Phi House. ' 79 Tremont Street. During the year, the fraternity has been very active socially. Besides several successful dances, social affairs and entertainments, the fraternity has taken an active part in all activities. The high standard of scholarship maintained by the fraternity was shown last June by the ease with which C’lii Delta Phi won the Inter- fraternal cup, and there is little doubt but what tin cup will continue to remain at the “Chi Delta Phi House ' 11 ARO LD I ..

Founded in December, 1921, its mcmbersbi}) has increased until at present there are twenty-five active members on its roll. During the school year 1921-1922 many important and interesting meetings have been held, at which the necessary steps toward laying the foundation for a permanent organization have been taken. Chi Epsilon Phi was founded from a scientific as well as a social stand- point, being composed entirely of students who are taking up either Chem- ical or Electrical courses at Mechanics Institute. It will provide a means whereby men learning the fundamentals of either of these sciences may at the same time be kept in touch with actual research work and developments in the manufacturing world, for it is planned to work in conjunction with Rochester section of the American Chemical Society and the Rochester E ngineeri ng S oci ety. It is the fraternity's desire not only to add. men of high scholastic standing to its membership, but also to aid those students who are anxious to take advantage of any opportunities which M. I. offers them toward obtaining a better education. The purpose of joining Chemical and Elec- trical students is self-evident, for there is no definite dividing line between these two sciences, and in the majority of cases, advancement in the one directly concerns the other. The fraternity’s purpose, however, is not entirely along scientific lines, for already several social events have taken place and many more are planned for the future. Chi Epsilon Phi's form of public initiation has usually been unique, and has been the subject of much interest. Steps are being taken toward providing a fraternity bouse in which members may live, and which will be used as a permanent meeting place. A great deal of credit is due the charter members, who have worked patiently to build up a unit which will help to make Mechanics a stronger and better school in the future years, and to the members of the Faculty for the interest which they have shown. Altogether, the organization of Chi Epsilon Phi as a strictly M. I. fraternity, points to a future of pleasant social activities and scholastic advancement.

M. I. opened the season with thirty candidates in the field. This squad, under the supervision of Coach Jack Forsyth, Captain “Art” Blan ehett and Manager “Pop” Wilson, entered into the season with a determina- tion that it would be a successful one.

One Hundred X inety-five One Hundred Ninety-nix •ffiSagfeertiall The opening of tike basketball season for ] Q2H’ 22 disclosed an excep- tionally hard schedule embracing several college teams of far more than mediocre calibre. The material on hand was with one or two exceptions entirely made up of new men at the school and therefore the usual diffi- culty was experienced in building up team play. Handicapped in the fact that the nu n were small and light, the team, however, gave a fine exhibition of gameness and aggressiveness. Captain Wiig was shifted to center, a position which was entirely strange to him and throughout the season his leadership and ability were the most prominent factors in the team play. Bill Moran, Joe Kiely, and Harry Lcisring held down the guard posi- tions and their experience and aggressiveness were exhibited in every game. Harkins, Diniond, Haile and Allen played the forward positions with a showing of “pep” and speed. Jot' Harkins, though handicapped by his diminutive stature displayed an ability and knowledge of tile game which were of utmost importance to the team. With a woeful lack of backing from the student body the team, it may he said to its credit, fought an uphill battle throughout tile entire season. He: “I want to get you the finest engagement ring in the world.

Under the able leadership of Gunner ().

Dancing immediately followed the game, music being furnished by Melville's Orchestra, which resulted finally in a Mardi Gras lasting until nearly one o’clock. A very large number turned out to witness the affair and everybody had a good time. Much credit is given Gunner O. Wiig for its success with big dimensions. Each year the event is one not only looked forward to by members of the M. I. and R. S. G. Schools, but by many outsiders, and it is hoped that the friendly spirit of rivalry which has existed between the two Fraternities in the past will continue into the future.

One Hundred Ninety-nine Two Hundred ®racfe 'i'he track team has gone the way of many a new institution in that it has worked hard, secured results, but found it hard to carry out all of its plans due to financial difficulties. The Mechanic Institute Intervocational School Meet was inaugurated last year and was attended by schools from Syracuse and Buffalo as well as Rochester Shop School. The cup presented by M. I. for the winning team went to Rochester Shop School. The interest in this meet was so great that at the opening of this season schools were writing in for informa lion on the meet for this year. Invitations have been received from University of Rochester, Syracuse, and Cornell to enter interscholastic meets. At these meets M. I. will meet schools from all over the state and northern Pennsylvania. From Christmas until Easter a squad of quarter milers was cut for the team which was to go to the Relay Carnival of the University of Pennsyl- vania at Philadelphia. This trip was abandoned due to an eleventh hour decision of the Council to make up a mistake in bookkeeping out of the track budget. On the basis of the money granted the team the men of the squad voted to continue practice after the vacation and enter meets at Rochester, Syracuse, and Cornell and bring outside vocational schools to M. I. for the big meet. The work of the team lias been carried out under difficulties due to the lack of facilities, but the offer of the track hack of the Armory, as well as the University field at Culver Hoad, lias greatly helped to put the team where it can develop into a major sport at M. I. Because of the opportunity this sport has been rapidly gaining in favor as shown by the growing squad.

Two Hundred One Two Hundred Two (Sills’ athletics Much of the interest of the opening days of any school year centers itself about the new members of the faculty. Students the world over feel the thrill of adventuring with new personalities and particularly if that new personality is a much heralded live wire,” So it is not at all sur- prising that the girls of Mechanics Institute were far more interested in matching the alert, graceful figure of their new gymnasium teacher than they were in straightening out their tangled schedules on the eighth day of last September. Before the first week was over all M. I. girls agreed that Mrs, Meehan fairly radiated “pep” and the spirit of good fellowship. When M rs. Meehan took charge of the gymnastic work in September she found that only twenty-five per cent of the girls registered at Mechanics could swim, Thi s was a deplorable condition and one which might have discouraged the most optimistic But it did not daunt the enthusiasm of the new instructor. She took matters into her own hands and proved that they were indeed capable ones, for at Thanksgiving time nearly seventy- five per cent of the girls were able to swim in fairly good form. The result of the swimming meet held at the Y. W. C, A, during the spring set a new swimming record for the girls of Mechanics Institute, and one which re- flected much honor not only on the girls and their instructor, but on Mech- anics Institute as well. During this time the regular gymnastic work was not neglected. When the time came to organize for captain ball practice a number of captain ball teams were formed. These teams practiced constantly and kept the girls in good form for basketball which came later. Several captain ball teams were organized, representing the Sophomore Home Economics,” The Freshmen Home Economics, and the Fine Arts.” The following games were played; February 28—Freshmen Home Economics vs. Fine Arts, which resulted in a victory for the Freshmen, the score being 26-3.

Phi Sigma Phi defeated the C-lii Delta Phi basketball team at the Genesee Roller Rink by a score of 15 to 13 in one of the most thrilling games of the season. The cheering sections on both sides were equally strong and led their respective teams on to a hard tight. Chi Delta Phi took an early lead by scoring the first field goals. The second half of the game was well played and exciting after the two teams had battled to an 8-all tie in the first period. Wiig's spectacular shot from the center of the floor in the second period decided the game for tin Phi Sigma Phi quint.

Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Harder led the grand march past the cheek room, where favors, con- fetti and streamers were given out in generous quantities. 'Phe merry makers danced, after the grand march was broken up, until 1 A. M. No admission was charged, all the expense being defrayed by tlie two fraternities. Arthur Melville’s orchestra furnished the music and a very enjoyable evening was had by all who attended. Under classmen are look- ing forward to the event next year. Two Hundred Four Ilttbmctble Veterans its. Srtful JDotigers The Mart'll wind may he held responsible for the mad pranks played by the “Artful Dodgers” and “The Invincible Veterans” during the Captain hall season. Both teams began their maneuvers with a mysterious secretive ness which only helped to fan the burning dame of curiosity which was consuming both. Much time was spent behind closed doors, planning ways and means of seizing victory by the forelock. Muffled giggling, and open smirks were all that could be caught by the eagle-eyed observers on both sides. Finally the “Artful Dodgers,” unable to endure the suspense any longer, challenged the “Invincible Veterans” to meet them in open combat on the Captain Ball court, Thursday afternoon, March the 24th, and prove their right to the title of “Invincible Veterans,” Needless to say, when the appointed time arrived the gymnasium was filled with the admiring supporters of both teams. True to their name, the Artful Dodgers” made their initial bow to the assembled spectators, in fancy costume, trying to hide their own identity behind assumed person- alities, ranging all the way from the much abused old type “school inarm,“ to the present-day heavy-weight champion, Jack Dempsey. Whether the fighting spirit of the latter struck terror into the hearts of tlit: “Invincible Veterans” 1 do not know, but it suffices to say that luck was with the “Art- ful Dodgers” and the game went to them, the score being 6-13. Were the “Invincible Veterans” subdued? Shades of Napoleon! Not they! The taste of defeat only whetted their appetite for victory, and they went to work with redoubled energies. They challenged their wily oppo- nents whose motto was “Victor}' Without Labor” to meet them on the afternoon of April the 10th. Mould that 1 had the power to do justice to that game! But, words fail me. Fhe “Invincible Veterans’' proved that they had every right to their title, from the moment they were carried onto the court by their stalwart supporters, to the blowing of the final whistle. It would he difficult to say which team was the more surprised when the referee announced that the game had been won bv the “Invincible Veterans” with a scor of 13-18. The wild bursts of joy which issued from tile vocal organs of the Invincible Veterans and their supporters left no doubt in the minds of all but that they found victory very sweet and satisfying.

I., hut I doubt very much if any of them excelled the last Carnival in pep.” Everyone connected with the affair went after their work with a whole-hearted interest that produced results and from the time tin doors opened at 7:30 until the strains of the last dance of the “Midnight Frolic” had died away the Carnival was the scene of mirth and melody Imagine a bit of Coney Island, with a section of Greenwich Village, and a slice of the Montmarte, transplanted to the halls of the Eastman Building and you will have some idea of the last year's Carnival, the big event” of '21 ’ Pierrot and Piorettc, fair maids from Bohemia, he whiskered and bucolic sheriffs and constables, Dark-town” belles, moustached Parisians, Futuristic lads and Post-Impressionistic lassies, “Sandows” and La Esmer- aldas paraded the “Midway” between the acts and mingled with the throng of students and visitors that filled the halls. To the Rochester Art League went the first honors with the Dormitory Girls a close second. The Freshmen Show came under the wire at third and only missed second honors by a neck” and the “also rans” all staged cr ed i ta hi 1 per forniances. The Seniors can scarcely have been said to have given a “show,” although two members of the Senior Class, Miss Dorothy MacCormack and Milton Case gave a very pretty imitation of a Colonial couple dancing a minuet and they certainly deserve a great deal of credit for saving the reputation of the class, as without their efforts the class would have been conspicuous by its absence from the Midway.” Two Hundred Seven The Federal Board Club’s offering was a trifle weak and a disappoint- ment to those who hail looked forward to seeing the “Vets” walk away with the first prize. There have been worse shows, however, and the hoys did not do so had, after all. “Pat 1 Lester and his faithful Italian piano saved the day, or rather the evening and “Red” Ellis and “Chicken” Turner did their best. Chi Delta Phi soared into the heights of class” and staged a drawing room entertainment that was very cleverly arranged, but was rather difficult to “put over,” owing to the noise which rose from the crowded “Midway 1 and at times drowned out the mellow tenor of Joe Vial Is and the delicate notes of Jack De Witt’s violin. Tlie Freshmen put on one of the niftiest shows of the evening, and, as I said before, ran a close third. There were clever dancers, muscular strong-men, and nifty singers and the offering was very nicely staged. The Rochester Art League “knocked ’em cold” with one of the most bizarre “stunts” that was ever staged at an M. I. Carnival and incidentally it demonstrated the fact that several members of the Art League have an extremely broad sense of humor. It was a travesty on Pavlowa’s Ballet Russe and it was a “scream from start to finish. Florcnz Ziegfield and Ned Wavburn have staged similar offerings that were out of the running with the Art League’s “extravaganza.” There were no “stars” in the Art League’s offering, each and every one was a “hit” and the ensemble was a “home run,” it was a real “Ruth” and no mistake. The Dormitory Girls “went over” and “brought home the bacon with as nice a little vaudeville offering as one would expect to sec at a students’ carnival and the girls certainly worked hard for the success of their “stunt.” Like the Art League show, it was a “scream” and it “went over” big. There was an abundance of harmony and several clever dancing numbers and each and every member of the “troupe” went after their parts with a snap that made the “stunt” a big success. The genial “Pat” Lester, who presided as General Chairman, deserves much commendation for the manner in which he handled this difficult posi- tion and “Pat” certainly “made good” in every wax’. The Carnival was a big success both as an entertainment and as a financial venture and that it was a success is due to Mr. Lester’s ability as an organizer and the loyal co-operation given him by those who partici- pated in the affair. When all is said and done, the Carnival of P21 was a “knockout.” The Faculty “hallyhooers” opened the show with a snap and Phi Sigma Phi closed it with a snap and from the little dancer that played the role of Pierrot to the girls that sold candv in the booths on the “Midway” every- body did their bit and did it well. Dean Johns, Miss Daugherty, Mrs. Shipper, Miss Elliot, Mr. Fisher and his assistants, and members of the Faculty assisted in many ways to make the Carnival of '21 a huge success and efforts are very much appre- ciated by the members of the various committees. The Rochester School of Lithography also greatly assisted the Publicity Committee by repro- ducing posters designed by John A. Scott and Batiste Madalena for win- dow and street-car advertising. Next year may see a bigger Carnival, but it will have to go some to see a better one. Two Hundred Eight Pat day I 92 I A C DO O TlMt £iv jorfcD OY ALL ■ T - c- o' vv- - 92 F0O6HT OVE.H THE El?

Even the most pessi inistk member of the committee had to admit that nature had done her best to make Pay-Day a success, as M. I. has never had a more perfect May Day for its annual picnic. The spirit of May time took possession of every one who entered Mechanics Institute that Thursday morning, and nothing seemed to matter except the fact that “Pay Day had come.” Twelve-thirty found every pupil on his or her way to Sea Breeze to attend the fascinating Pay-Day revels. There were ten chartered ears filled to overflowing with happy, rollicking, care free hoys and girls. The advertising members of the committee had painted glowing pictures of the fun of this outing and so expectations ran riot. Wi re they realized? Ask any student of M. L Small wonder that they were, for Sea Breeze and all its concessions were opened for the first time of the season. The spirit of youth is infec- tious, arid before the afternoon was over every one had experienced the thrills and bumps of the merry-go round, the roller coaster, the Virginia reel, the bumpers and the most popular of all, the .lack rabbit. Many of the more inquisitive kept the fortune teller busy answering questions per taining to their dark and mysterious futures. Everybody was on the picnic grounds at two o'clock, when the pro- gram of events opened with a race for the girls. It was followed by other races, target shooting, in which everything was hit but the target, and finally a ball game between the Chi Delta Phi and Phi Sigma Phi frater ni tie's. It was a merry, dishevelled crowd that turned its attention to the camera man and received its initiation into the mysteries of film-land. A few weeks later every member of that crowd invested a quarter or more in a ticket for a movie, to see just how he or she looked on the screen. By this time the odor of coffee greeted the olfactory organs of the crowd and straightway a line started for the pavilion, where every one received an individual lunch box. These lunches were put up by Miss Stubbs and her assistants; and right here let us say, “Three cheers for Miss Stubbs and her assistants. Hip, hip, hooray !” The rising moon found the crowd apparently as fresh as ever, in “Dream Land,” the new dance pavilion. Melville’s orchestra seemed to know just what these Pay Day revelers wanted, as they danced the hours of May the nineteenth to a close. At nine o’clock the prizes for the various events which had been run off in the afternoon were awarded. The money with which thc.se prizes were purchased was donated by the various organizations in the school. This was a new custom which stimulated the school interest in Pay-Day. The last ear was packed with a tired, contented crowd, who cntluisi astically agreed that it was the best Pay-Day they had ever attended. The committee in charge consisted of Norman Foster as chairman, assisted by Milard C. Komis, Joseph Davis, “Bill” Seudder, “Chick” Shin dell. Marion Gardner, Grace Verdine, Loretta McCarthy, and Phyllis Scott. Two Hundred Ten JH. 31. Dai s School days, M.

E TEA TOUCH OF COUrvTRV AIR Two Hundred Twelve ®lje ®eatfjer draining Cotitsc in Home economics The new four-year course in Home Economics is an extension of the former three-year normal course in Household Arts given by Mechanics Institute. Mechanics Institute will continue to give all required technical and professional courses in Home Economics. The equivalent of a lull year’s work is given at the University of Rochester. This course lias been approved by the faculty of the University of Rochester and the degree of Bachelor of Science in Home Economics will be granted by the University for Mechanics Institute. The President of the University has named the head of the Department of Vital Economics to act as Advisor for the course in Home Economics at Mechanics Institute, In order to receive this recognition for our work in Home Economics, the collegiate standard must he maintained in the faculty, in our entrance re- quirements and in the course of study. Graduates of the former normal course in Household Arts will be admitted to advanced standing in the new course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science, Alumnae now in the teaching field are invited to return to the Institute and to register for their degree under the new course. Although each registrant will he considered as an individual case in deciding upon the work required of her, in general, a graduate of the earlier three year normal course will be able to secure her degree in one year and a semester or two summer sessions. Mechanics Institute is proud of the success of her graduates. Though they may have found their technical and professional courses adequate preparation for teaching, yet the higher standard required by the State Department of Education for teachers of Home Economies makes it de- sirable for many to take advanced training in order to qualify for the best positions. Mechanics Institute will look to these experienced graduates, who will return for the collegiate work, to fulfill the aim and purpose of the new course and to carry the name of this school into positions of higher professional standing and leadership.

Through it have come many of the engineering ideas that have made this an electrical America. The story of electrical development begins in the Research Laboratories. Here the ruling spirit is one of knowledge—truth— rather than immediate practical results. In this manner are established new theories— tools for future use—which sooner or later find ready application. The great industries that cluster around Niagara Falls, the electrically driven battle- ships, the trolley cars and electrified railways that carry millions, the lamps that glow in homes and streets, the household conven- iences that have relieved women of drudgery, the labor-saving electrical tools of factories, all owe their existence, partly at least, to the co-ordinated efforts of the thousands who daily stream through this gateway.
