Johns Six -lRAMIKIN Foreword N presenting this twelfth volume of the Ram- ikitiy we have attempted to the best of our ability to make it a good one. A few changes have been made from that form which has been more or less followed in years past and we hope that such changes will meet with your approval. We have recorded as nearly as possible, the life and activities of the Senior Class, together with a review of the under-graduate student body, during the year 1922-23. The book has its faults and we do not deny it, but we hope that we have succeeded to a sufficient degree in its good qualities, whereby the bad will not out- shine that which may be good. We send forth this book, and may it serve to give you as much enjoyment in reading it as it gave us to publish it. BOARD OF EDITORS RAMI KIN ■ To Clifford CM. Ulp WHO HAS WON THE SINCERE RESPECT AND ADMIRATION OF ALL MECHANICS INSTI- TUTE STUDENTS THROUGH HIS DEVOTED INTEREST AND EFFORTS FOR THEIR WELFARE, WE RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THIS 1923 RAMIKIN The Class of 1923 Kiyht ■' RAMIKIN ]■ Nine •-R MIMN The Institute ■ AHE object of this Institute shall be to promote such practical education as may enable those persons A receiving instruction to become better fitted for their occupations in life.” This was a statement of the con- stitution adopted on October twenty-first, eighteen hundred eighty-five at the founding of Mechanics Institute. It was under the inspiring leadership of Captain Henry bomb that the Institute flourished in its infancy and today the Institute stands in the lead of schools of its particular type. The Institute now is composed of the Eastman building, a gift of George Eastman in the year nineteen hundred; Hevier Memorial Building, a gift of Mrs. Susan Bevier; and a large well-equipped Industrial Arts Building commonly known as the Manual Training Building. The Practice House, maintained for the use of the School of Home Eco- nomics, is a dwelling on South Washington Street which has been remodeled and equipped with all the latest household improvements, and which is occupied by the students them- selves while under instruction; the Girls Dormitory was ac- quired as a residence hall for non-resident girls; the Mech- anics Institute Christian Association, otherwise known as the M. I. C. A. is associated with the National Y. M. C. A. and occupies a separate building as a students’ club. The Institute has an enrollment of fully two thousand students and with the remarkable expansion it has made, its founders’ hopes have become realities.

Our clear Mechanics, Fortune fair attend thee, Thy sons and daughters true and loyal are, No matter what the years to come may send thee, Our hearts shall turn to thee, from near and far. All hail to thee, all hail to thee, Our hearts true faith with thee shall keep All hail, all hail to thee, Our dear Mechanics Institute. Where’er we go we never can forget thee, Thy precepts ever shall shine before us. However tierce the struggles that beset thee, Our hearts and voices e’er shall lift this chorus. All hail to thee, all hail to thee, Our hearts true faith with thee shall keep. All hail, all hail to thee Our dear Mechanics Institute. (Tune: “Funiculi, Funicula.) Some people think it’s wondrous to have knowledge (And so do we, and so do we!) And some think wisdom’s only found in college (But not so we, but not so we!) For there’s a school of very fine endeavor (You know it, too, you know it, too) It trains us to be wonderfully clever, (Whatever we do, whatever we do.) Chorus: Mechanics, Mechanics, Mechanics Institute, Dressmaking, ceramics and all the rest to boot; Now let us cheer from far and near, We love our dear old Institute, Here’s to you forever.

L Hardly acquainted with our new surroundings we found ourselves obediently submitting to the general hazing and initiation the first week of school. All the more to be appreciated then was the reception given us by the faculty in the Eastman Building that first Friday night. The green bibs which had been bright- ening the landscape were conspicuous by their absence that night. A rousing reception it was, and many friendships started then have persisted through the three years Late in November, the class entered into the preparation for the annual school Carnival with pep and enthusiasm. A circus was staged as our part of the show and many were the favorable comments for the Frosh. In February, a successful Valentine Dance was given in Bevier Hall This too, brought its share of credit. About the last and distinguishing performance of our first year was our participation in a tug of war with representatives of the graduating class The F reshmen on the Southern side of the “old” Erie Canal and the Seniors on the North -but only a short parking time for the Seniors. Bight at the outset of their Senior week activities their enthusiasm was slightly dampened, by the sparkling waters of old Erie. September again and the same class—plus more dignity and respons- ibility. Dances and parties throughout the year helped it to pass as quickly as it did. The outstanding event was the Junior Prom at the Hotel Seneca. Successful and enjoyable it was in every way. President Joseph Mails deserves due credit. Towards the close of the year the class embarked for a lake trip to Cobourg. Humorous are the stories that may be told concerning the ad- venture. With the exception of a few, the Junior Class proved themselves land-lubbers, but then Ontario has seen calmer waters. Another September and the final epoch begun. With Lester Woodward as ( lass President and Victor Knop, chairman of Senior Activities the class was started on a progressive year. Early in the Fall a sausage roast, was held at Charlotte. The moon looked fine from the pier that night and if it hadn't been such a long pier there wouldn’t be as many people to prove it. So numerous have been the good times had by the Senior Class we will not elaborate on individual parties. Gunnar W iig was given the Chair- manship of the Senior Activity Committee upon the resignation of Mr. Knop. A little later he was also elected President of the Senior Class when Mr. Woodward left school. Much credit goes to him and a lively Ac- tivity Committee for the excellent reputation of the Senior Class. Several dances have been given in Bevier Hall and a sleigh-ride party to Ballantyne Inn in March. Much remains for the future. A full schedule for Senior Week will mark the closing episode in the life of a class—a happy prosperous and worth-while life. IIII1IIMI l!

All she has to do now is to learn to sew a fine seam and teach her Sab-Normals.

His mind is given over to thoughts bordering on a sewerage disposal plant for the Institute, He also plans to do away with those savory odors that so enhance the halls of the Eastman Building just about noon time, when everyone is hungry. We wish him all the luck in the world in accomplishing this proposi- tion. Joseph L. Morris—“Joe Electrical Reading, Pa. Joe just got married. We are afraid that he soon will be bald- headed for he still persists in giving away locks of his golden hair. At one lime Joe was the Sheik of the West Side Dancing Aca- demy.

Q forge Pay The Junior Class although not especially active at the beginning of the school year, finally became organized and is now in a flourishing condition. To start off, the class held a banquet in the Girls Rest room in the East- man Building. The affair was a roaring success and a great deal of that success was due to the cooperation between the Junior Class and the girls of the Lunch Room Management course, who had charge of the dining room arrangements. The dinner menu was kept secret to increase the in- terest of those concerned. After the dinner three members of the faculty gave highly instructive and interesting talks, and in turn two members of the Junior Class offered toasts to the faculty members at the banquet. It has been suggested that the Junior Class of this year do all in their power to establish the banquet as a tradition for the coming Junior Classes. The Junior Prom of this year was held in the Solarium at the Sagamore Hotel and the affair was a marked success, and as well attended as any Prom of recent years. The well arranged program and the smoothness in which all the events were carried on indicates the very great efforts put forth by the committee.

Treasurer Okilla Wright Vice-President Helen Walsh Secretary The Freshman Class For several days preceding September 8th, 1922, there was much ac- tivity in many homes. Bags were being packed in far-off Peabody, dresses were being pressed in Binghampton, neckties were being bought in Coming, all in preparation for a much anticipated trip to Rochester, N. Y. Al- though strangers to each other, young people to the number of 255 were leaving as many homes, all with the same aim in view, namely: to enter Rochester Athenaeum, and Mechanics Institute, and to become in time members of the alumnae of that great institution. They came from Mass- achusetts; they motored from Kansas, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York this band of eager, hopeful, sightly, home-sick freshmen. The days of registration arc already somewhat hazy memories, for faces were so new, friends so scarce, rooms so strange, and events hap- pening so fast. Even up to October 17th when they entered the assembly hall, these 255 people remained a divided group. However, when they left the assembly it was a strongly organized Freshman Class. The meet- ing was called by a temporary chairman and officers were elected. The first school affair in which the class participated was Freshman initiation. This was purely a test for the survival of the fittest. The attack raged for a week during which time commandments were posted about the halls which were strictly adhered to by all (?) freshmen. The girls were subjected to a secret initiation which took place in the Dormi- tory, and which caused quite a disturbance on the part of the men stu- dents. After initiation, the activities of the school were quickly taken up, for the class realized its responsibilities. Freshmen men turned out for foot- ball and basketball. Even the girls heard the cry and as a result they took part in the first girls’ hockey game played in Northwestern New York.

To the Student Council we would like to make this suggestion; The present policy of appointing the Editor-in-Chief and Business Mana- ger in the middle of the school year, allows but a few months in which to publish the book. During these months the staff is compelled to rush every undertaking and conse- quently the various details of the book are apt to lack the finishing touches that are so necessary to make a book a complete success. Every year the Rami kin staff is nearly composed of students in- experienced in this line. They can do nothing but follow the examples and ideas that former Ramikin Boards have worked out. This leads to the tendency of non-origi- nal books, and as a result, we find the books, though changed some- what in minor details, following the same form and ideas year after year. Under the prevailing administra- tion policy, a staff could not do otherwise. They realize that the book must be published on a cer- tain date and because of this lack of time and experience, they follow the only way, and under the present conditions, perhaps the best way. We would suggest that the Editor- in-Chief and Business Manager of the Ramikin be appointed in June, just before the summer vacation. This gives practically a whole year to work out and decide on all new and original ideas for the coming volume. The summer months allow the Editor time to collect many sug- gestions such as cover, size of the volume, quality of paper and the many other details that are so necessary. What Ramikins need right now, is originality. They must get away from the hard and set form whic h is getting to be very noticeable. We feel that the success of future Ramikins lies in this fact. One whole year should be spent and this amount of time really is neces- sary in the publication of a good school annual. Ninety-seven f MEKIN ■ RAMIKIN To the Editor-in-Chief falls the responsibility of building the book. He builds the book from the mater- ial gathered by his staff. A wide awake, dependable staff means a good snappy annual. The Editor should pick his staff early and make what changes lie finds necessary. Give notice for write-ups at a date that will allow plenty of time for those who write them. Insist that these write-ups be handed in on a set date. The biggest task of an Editor is to follow’ up those who are delinquent. Give plenty of notice and much of this trouble will be avoided. Start the copy early and have written material typewritten when it is handed in. This saves much time and labor for the Editor. The Business Manager should be appointed by the Council at the same time the Editor-in-Chief is, and likewise should select his staff early in the year. Advertising is one of the big things in the business end of the Kami kin. Insist on an efficient advertising manager for the greater the amount of advertising, the cheaper the book can be sold to the students. The Business Manager should work with the Editor on the photography. The sales of the book should be conducted in a manner devised by the Business Manager and is dependable upon his origi- nality and policies. Former Rami- kins have seldom paid for them- selves, the reason being that many leave school without paying for their “cuts.” Do not send a photograph to the engraver until the “cut” has been paid for. All these suggestions have been made from the experience of past Ramikin Boards as well as the pres- ent one. Every year the newly formed staff faces these same prob- lems, and if we have succeeded in enlightening those to whom these problems will fall, then the purpose has been accomplished. ‘Xl Girls’ Athletic Association In this volume of the Ramikin we take great pleasure in giving the newly formed Girls’ Athletic Asso- ciation, a space that ranks with that of Mens’ Athletics. This Ram- ikin is tlie first in which Girls’ Athletics appears in this manner. The formation of this new associa- tion was completed during the school year 1922-23, and now we find organized Girls’ Athletics on par with that of the men. A need of such an association among the girls was keenly felt, and under capable supervision a constitution was drawn up and later accepted by the Student Council, making it formally recognized by the student body through their representatives. % IS % The problem of editing a school annual is a tremendous one. A few noble, earnest workers stick together to see the thing put over, and it is upon these few that the Editor-in-Chief relies. A few such workers made possible this, the Twelfth Volume of the Ramikin, and the Editor wishes at this time to express his thanks and apprecia- tion for the great amount of aid and assistance that these people gave toward its publication.

Later, under the keeping of the son, who was a lazy shiftless young man, the farm was soon on the way to ruin. The build- ings began to fall and weeds began to grow where once the finest of grains and vegetables grew. The son grew old. His children grew up and left him and finally his wife died in the poverty and wretchedness of what remained of the once fine estate. Finally he was compelled to sell the farm and taking an old mule and a goat that still belonged to him, he moved into an old shack, far from any- one. For a small sum a day, he allowed a man to hire the mule. The mule worked hard all day and had scarcely anything to eat. The goat did not fare any better than the mule, ft went on this way until the mule and the goat could stand it no longer, so they ran away. The shiftless, lazy man had lost everything. He had depended too much on the mule and the goat. Don’t be like that man. “Nothing comes to those who do not work,” Sunshine can always take the place of rain, so why not “wake up and hear the birdies sing.” Ninety-nine i mm mum ii n n ntnminmii n m p i 'i imm n n n ■ i■ • nimi i f wmn n.(. student’s ALPHABET One Hundred Onv Hundred Oth RAMtKlN • One Hundred Two Inter-Fraternal Council ■ c RANKIN ■ Inter-Fraternal Council Gunnar O.

Blanchett The founding of an Inter-Fraternal Council in Mechanics this year has filled a long-felt want in fraternal affairs. The Council was originally organized with the intention of regulating rush parties, initiations, and social events in the fraternities, but it has been found that through this body the three fraternities of the school have been able to work in closer harmony than ever before. At the suggestion of the administration of the school, the annual Inter- Fraternal Mardi Gras and the Alumni Basket Ball game this year were in- corporated into one event. From the Council was appointed a committee of three—a representative from each fraternity—to make all arrangements, subject to the approval of the Council and of their respective fraternities. The success of the undertaking was apparent to every one who attended the event. A committee from the Council also made all arrangements for the Inter-Fraternal Banquet, which it has been the custom to hold annually.

Clubs and organizations of all kinds have seen their life and death without accomplishing very much, at this Institute; but fraternities have come to be accepted as an almost necessity. Fraternities have existed here at the Institute for twenty-two years, Phi Sigma Phi being the oldest was founded in 1901. It was founded by six charter members and it was around these that the fraternity was built. Their first meetings were held in the Rochester Hotel and after the hard fight for existence finally became situated in their first home on Spring St reet in what was commonly known as Colony Hall. Later they moved to 60 South Washington Street where they are at present located. Chi Delta Phi was the next fraternity to be organized. They became organized in the fall of 1914 under the name of Delta Delta. The following year they became situated in their first home on Troup Street and changed their name to Chi Phi. This home was maintained until the men were called to the service of their country. In the fall of 1919, the returning brothers reestablished their fraternity and on May 11, 1920, became in- corporated under the laws of New York State under the name of Chi Delta Phi —the Delta being taken from its original name. In the summer of 1921, they moved into a new home at 79 Tremont Street but in the fall of 1922 they moved to a more central and convenient location at 7 North Washington Street, where they are located at present. In December, 1921, Chi Epsilon Phi fraternity was founded. This fraternity is one in which only students enrolled in the Chemical or Elec- trical courses are elligible for membership. This fraternity, being only in its infancy, has not as yet had the opportunity to show its real worth and strength. Each one of these fraternities has as one of its chief-ideals, the advance- ment of scholastic standing at the Institute. In 1921, Phi Sigma Phi donated a cup which is known as the Inter-Fraternal Cup to the fraternity attaining the highest scholastic standing. It was awarded to Chi Delta Phi and it is still held by that fraternity. The part that fraternities play at the Institute is a very active one. The annual Mardi Gras is given and supported by the fraternities to the Stu- dent Body and it is at this time that the championship fraternal basketball game is played. During the course of the school year, each fraternity holds many social activities in the form of dances and parties. M. I. fraternity men are now situated in nearly all parts of the country. They have gone from the Institute with something that was much more to them than their newly acquired knowledge—an appreciation for Christian Brotherhood. This is the greatest value of fraternities and it is because of this that they have existed for so long and, undoubtedly will continue to exist in the future.

This council is made up of two members of each sorority who are upper-classmen and one faculty advisor. The chief functions of the Sorority are to regulate the rushing of prospective sorority members and to guide the sororities in matters of common interest to them. This has proved to be a very strong means to encourage the feeling of friendship between the sororities. oa ‘X xt c If you think M. I. the best. Tell ’em so; IF you'd have it lead the rest.

L Without a doubt there are no organizations among the girls of Mech- anics Institute so strong and so lasting as the sororities Though the three sororities which are now at the Institute are comparatively young, their closely knit organization bids high for strength and endurance Their long list of activities and accomplishments shows that the purposes for their founding are being realized. Phi Upsilon Phi Sorority was organized in November, 11)19, with the permission and co-operation of President Farnum The purpose of the organization was to promote good fellowship and friendship among the girls of the different departments of the school. Early in the history of the sorority a scholarship was established to benefit one girl each year and th is scholarship lias been maintained. The custom of sending small favors made by the girls of the sorority to the Homeopathic Hospital each month has been continued. Soon after the founding of the Phi Upsilon Phi, Alpha Psi Sorority was organized. Their first meeting was held Thursday, November 11, 1920, and at this time the constitution was read and adopted. Officers were nominated and elected and Alpha Psi was founded as the second sorority at the Institute The need of the third sorority was felt, and late in the fall of 1920, eight girls with the aid of two faculty advisors organized Delta Omicron Sorority. Their membership being limited to sixteen, permitted eight more girls to become members and in the following spring this was done.

Faculty Advisor The Student Council is the official governing board of the Student’s Association and regulates all student activities. Its members arc elected annually from all the departments of the school. The Association is financed through the charge of a fee of four dollars a semester which is paid by each full time student at the time of registration. This automatically makes the student a member of the Student’s Asso- ciation and admits him to all home games played by M. L teams. In the Fall of 1022 a committee of five was appointed to act as a Pur- chasing Committee. All purchases made by the various organizations in the school which come under the jurisdiction of the Student Council must be made through this committee, thus preventing unwise expenditures. During the year the Council has worked steadily to carry on the work of former Councils and develop efficiency in student government. The Council wish to extend their thanks to Mr. Culver for the invaluable assistance and interest he lias given during the year. Helen Jacques Marvin T.

Miles Three years ago the students who were in training, under the Vet- eran’s Bureau, at the Institute organized the Federal Board Club. The club was formed to bind the men together with the old “Buddy” spirit, so that they would be able to aid each other in times of need. The wel- fare work of the club is the prime purpose of it, although it sometimes branches into the social world when its members feel the need of a little diversion. During the past year the club has had a great demand on its welfare work, but “Bill Hickey and his brother officers have responded nobly to the work, which they carried on successfully in spite of what, at times, seemed almost impossible obstacles. Despite the great amount of wel- fare work the club found time in taking part in the Annual Carnival, to run a successful dance at Bevier, and to attend a smoker given by the K of t . On May 29th of this year the newly elected officers of the club will take their places for the coining year. Of course, this is always celebrated by a banquet which is to be held this year at the Ad Club Rooms. With- out doubt, the new officers will carry on the work of their predecessors to the glorious finish that the organization is worthy of in carrying it on.

Thirty-three charter members were enrolled and regular meet- ings were held every two weeks until the latter part of March. Early in the year two short English plays, “Rosalind” and “The Twelve Found Look” both by James M. Barrie, were studied. Lectures were also given on Dramatic art. The first active effort was the presentation of “Mrs. Jenkins’ Boarding House” as a part of the carnival program. Successful as this was the club aspired to do something better and February 23rd was set as Dra- matic Club night. A comedy, “Twelve Old Maids” written by Walter Ben Hare was presented and also a George Washington pageant written by Leona Whitworth Logue. Some excellent dramatic talent was brought out during the year and much credit is due Mrs. Leona Whitworth Logue for her work in con- nection with the club. The individual responsibility and initiative taken by the students made both performances successful and will be through these means that the ambitions for next year will be realized.

Mr. George C. Mat- teson, a Federal Board student, was elected President of the M. 1. C. A. and shortly after represented the Institute at the Silver Bay Student Summer Conference at Lake George, N. Y. Some of the accomplishments of the Association arc given here with a view to stimulating further interest in its work: From July 1922 to March 1923 one hundred and four (104) students applied for positions and of this number ninety-three (93) were placed. The total amount earned by Students placed is close to Eighteen hundred Dollars ($1,800). Permanent positions were secured for seven of the Alumni. Several of the Alumni visiting Rochester were the guests of the Association during their stay. Twelve (12) Ex-Service men were provided with beds and otherwise assisted by arrangement with the Red Cross and American Legion. Two hundred and fifty (250) Federal Board Students of M. I., The R. S. O. and R. B. I. were given 500 Theater Passes and 200 Passes to the Roch- ester Exposition. 14 School and Fraternity Activities were aided. A For- get-Me-Not Day Breakfast was given for Federal Board men on Sunday, November 5th, 1922 by the Robertshaw Post Unit of the American legion Auxiliary. 72 Students were assisted with cash loans from the Emergency Fund. 10 Students represented M. I, at Conferences held at Cornell University and Union College. The second loss to the Association was in the departure of Mr. Victor Knop, who left school to enter business. Mr. Knop performed a notable piece of work as Chairman of the Fellowship Committee. This Committee worked silently but surely, in the solving of many perplexing student prob- lems.

We also hope to have some interest- ing speakers, some sing, helpful discussions among the girls as well as good social times. Two of the main purposes for this year are to send some of our girls to New York to the National Conference of the Y. . C. A. in March and some girls to the Silver Bay Conference this summer. In this way, we hope to have the girls learn more about the Y. W., what a wonderful association it is so that they will be able to carry on the work in M. I better next year.

Football has gradually come into its own and it is now without a doubt the leading sport at the Institute. Although our opponents scored a total of points greater than that scored by our team, we are satisfied in tlie manner in which the games were played. In every game lost our opponents had to extend them- Captainsiavin selves to the limit to win. This was particularly so of the St. Lawrence game in which St, Lawrence won by a doubtful goal. To Coach Jack Forsythe is due much credit for this well-organized, wide awake team. He drilled that “never give in spirit into the team which showed so plainly against the heavier and more experienced Clark- son team. Forty candidates turned out to Jack Forsythe at the beginning of the season and of these a great majority stuck it out to the close. There were some veterans from the '21 squad and around them the team was built. Louis Severson, who had been in the substitute squad for two years, proved to be one of the best centers of later years. Shaw, a freshman, made a steady berth in the backfield with Captain Siavin, Blanchette, and Pow- ers. Pete Holohan, a freshman, made good at left guard, and Shoemaker, also a freshman, went well at left tackle. The first game of the season was won by Alfred University, 27-0. For- sythe gave every man an opportunity to prove his worth in this game. The following week, Buffalo University scored a game by two “freaky” breaks. 12-0; Clarkson Tech, made the third 27-0, and St. Lawrence the fourth, 9-0. The crowning event of the football season was the game with R. S. O., greatest rival of M. L The “Boilermakers” literally crushed the lighter R. S. O. team and shook the jinx that has been hanging over M. I. for so long a time. The close of the season was drawn by a victory for the In- stitute over Oswego Normal, 14-0. Dewey Powers has been elected Captain for 1923. His past experience in football consists of one year at Clarkson Tech, and two at Mechanics, under Jack Forsythe. He is a Junior in the Industrial Arts Dept, and a member of Chi Delta Phi Fraternity. Captain Siavin, Arthur Blanchette, Louis Severson, and Freeman Pepper will be lost to the 1923 Squad by graduation. M uch credit is due Manager Joseph Mahoney for the efficient manner in which he managed the team. To William Warren falls the '23 man' agership. One Hundred Forty-nine ■ RAMI KIN ■ The Line-up J.

Nevertheless considering the difficulties to be overcome a team was turned out that won some notable victories. Though the actual record of games was not overly imposing, the character of the opposition and the enthu- siasm and interest of the players added greatly to the brighter side. The work of Capt. Wiig at forward, John Slavin at center, and Charles Shaw at guard is very commendable. These players were very consistent and it was this steady interest and head work that gave many points to the Institute’s score. Dewey Powers at left guard played a good game and held that position all season. Carl Hot ton and Elmer Smith divided the honors of right forward. The results of the games with Alfred, Buffalo, Clarkson, and Queens show that these teams had to extend themselves to their limit to win. An alumni game was played at the annual Inter-Fraternal Mardi Gras and at this time old M. I. stars appeared to show that their ability as bas- ketball players still remained. Much credit is due Coach McKay for the way he handled the team under such difficulties. Three letter men of the ’23 squad will be ready for next season.

I. team has yet experienced. Starting out on a bright April morning, we went to St. Bona venture, and as you know, we were well beaten. To be beaten by such a team as theirs left us no regrets as this team was as good as any International League Team. The next game was with Oswego Normal at Rochester and our team came through with a win 8 to 4. We then tackled another hard-hitting team from Clarkson Tech, and bowed in defeat after getting enough hits to win most any ball game. For revenge we shut out Lima Seminary team the next week and got ourselves five runs. Then we met our Hoo-doo again in the form of St. Bonas College and lost to this team at Rochester by a score of 17-5. Next came the return with Lima which the team easily won 11-3. About this time the team was rounding into what might be called mid- season shape due to the untiring efforts of our Coach Frank Clary, so we packed our grips and took a trip up iu the north country where the wolves howl at night. Arriving at Potsdam we tackled the Clarkson team and our fellows were hitting .so hard that Clarkson had to use three pitchers to beat us by a score of 4-3. This was without a doubt the best played game of the season and should have been ours. Due to what is known as a “break of the game” Cunningham “flyed” out in the last inning with two men out and two left on bases. He had been hitting well all season and the Clarkson fielder made a reputation for himself by getting under this particular hit. We then proceeded to Oswego and played their team a game which was more of a batting contest on Mechanics’ side. The team emerged from this contest, the last game of the season, victorious—23-3. One Hundred Fifty-seven - RAMI KIN It was after this game that the letter men were named—ten in all with three men receiving silver charms for merit. The letter men then elected the '23 Captain, John F. Slavin. The general concensus of opinion was that we had done well to break even with four games each way. The Line-up M. A. ( vse.

Secretary Helen Jacques Treasurer Alice Leete Publicity Harriet Guilford Custodian Although the Ciirls Athletic Association of Mechanics Institute is still in its infancy, its members feel that many worth while things have been accomplished. Certainly, no other organization of Mechanics has done more, than this group of girls, to stimulate the enthusiasm of the student body and to help develop the right kind of school spirit. Even the most pessimistic observer must admit that during the first year of its existence the Girls Athletic Association has carried out its purpose “to further all school activities.” This association was not formed at the whim of a special few It was organized to meet an urgent need. Prior to its formation, the majority of girls, rushed with work, had been neglecting the physical as well as the social aspect of their school life. With educators on all sides, empha- sizing the importance of keeping physically fit, this was a serious situation, and one which called for prompt action. Fortunately for the girls, Mrs. Meelian was keenly alive to the facts of the case and it was through her earnest efforts that the girls were able to organize their Athletic Association. Every activity which the Association has so far attempted has met with the heartiest support, and co-operation. This is indeed highly grati- fying, since it proves that the Association is serving its purpose. The op- portunities it has afforded the girls for getting better acquainted, for pull- ing together and for a show of friendly rivalry, cannot help but result in a better school spirit.

A. A. did, was to outline a tentative program for the present year. They planned to make their first event some sort of a “get-to-gether” party for the purpose of welcoming the freshmen girls. Consequently, the day school opened they issued invitations for a week end party at Canandaigua. And what a flood of acceptances they received. At the appointed hour both guests and hostesses were on their way for camp. Happy, joyous spirits are contagious and before the girls arrived their destination the ice had been broken. Two glorious days spent in the open only tended to strengthen the friendly spirit among the girls. They talked, played, swam, cooked, washed dishes and played pranks on one another to their hearts’ content, and returned home, richer in friendships, and ready to take up their school work with more interest. Social The Girls’ Athletic Association opened their social activities in Novem- ber with a Musical Tea held in the dormitory. Miss Marjory Truelove a member of the faculty of the Eastman School of Music rendered a delight- ful and interesting program. This was an unusual privilege and was taken advantage of by many of the faculty and students. Our next Musical Tea also proved a huge success. The musical program being rendered by three members of the Eastman Theatre Orchestra, namely Mr. Weiss, Mr. Neidlenger and Mr. Carmen, The women of the faculty gave the last tea for t he benefit of the Athlet- ic Association, iss Anne Col burg sang some delightful songs accompanied at the piano by Miss Lelia Babbitt. Banquet A noted historian has recently catalogued the present period as an era of change, and were he present at the first annual banquet of the Girls’ Athletic Association, held in November, he would certainly have been convinced. Heretofore the men have enjoyed the rights and privileges of Athletics, but now the American girl is stepping into her own. This banquet was the first big undertaking of the Athletic Association, and was given in honor of Mrs. Gertrude Gibson Meehan in appreciation of her interest, loyalty, support and good comradeship. A very interesting program was planned by the toast mistress. This in- teresting program was closed by the Rev. Clinton Wunder who was the speaker of the evening. The large attendance at the Banquet was one of the many evidences of the splendid spirit which has been stimulated in Mechanics thru the Association, and speaks well for its future.

During the fall and spring this is the familiar saying of our hockey captain, as she ral- lies her team together for practice. Field hockey is yet young in America and the interest and enthusiasm for it, is gradually reaching to a great zenith. The game was first played as a national sport in Ireland. Scotland, and England, and was not intro- duced into the United States until very recently. Last spring it was inaugurated at Mechanics by Mrs. Meehan, and was most enthusiastically received. We consider it one of the coming sports at Mechanics, and it is due to the girls' enthusiasm and co-operation that the game has proved so successful. In September, teams were organized and captains elected, Marion Tut- hill representing the upperclassmen, and Margaret O'Shea the under- classmen. Full teams appeared at every practice, and so great was the enthusiasm that in November, amid driving snow, the first decisive game was played. Upper classmen wore scarlet head bands, numerals and stockings, and carried a grotesque rag-doll for a mascot. The underclass- men with electric blue head bands, numerals and stockings made a striking contrast to their older sisters. A real goat appeared as their mascot. The game was played at Genesee Valley Park. The pine trees pierced the sky in the back ground, and the driving snow offset the brilliant colors of the costumes, forming a most picturesque sight. It was a victorious afternoon for the upperclassmen the score being 3-0. i Wti MARION TUTHILL Line-up Upperclassmen Tuthill, M., ('enter. Captain. Akerly, E., R. I. McGill, M., R. W. Colcord, G.—M.

The Lightning Bugs and the Wild Cats from the upper classes and the Whirls and Les Enfants Terribles from the Freshman class competed in the series. Keen competition evi- denced in the games showed the healthy spirit of class rivalry that has been developed by the girls. Captain ball was started last year at the Institute and it has proved to be one of the most popular and beneficial games in which it is possible for girls to in- dulge. If proof of its popularity is desired the fact that forty-five girls have been out for the teams is enough to show that the game has taken a firm hold. Aside from the physical benefits derived, the game lias helped to bring the girls together in a way that would otherwise be impossible. iS 2 4 Irene Dillenback March 12—Wild Cats vs. Whirls.................................4-2 Lightning Bugs vs Les Enfants Terribles . 7-3 March 20—Lightning Bugs vs Whirls ... 3-5 Wild Cats vs Les Enfants Terribles . . . 2-1 March 27—Whirls Les Enfants Terribles . . 1-1 Wild Cats VS Lightning Bugs .... 9-10 Captain Ball Teams Lightning Bugs O’Shea, M.

Never be- fore in the history of school have the girls shown such whole hearted interest in the game, and never before have they been so enthusiastic in their support. This is indeed an encouraging sign, for it means that basket ball, as an indoor sport for girls is coming into its own at M. I. The marked success of the game this season is due not only to the organized co-operation of the girls, but also to the fact that practices were held on the Y. Y. C. A. court which is one of the best courts in the city. It was little wonder that practice in such a well equipped gym thrilled the girls to the point of enthusiasm and made them wish that basket ball practice came oftener than once a week. Early in March teams were organized and captains elected. Interclass games were soon started. The competition shown in the games was keen and friendly. In not a single case was a game won easily. The result of this splendid spirit means much not only to the girls themselves but to M. I. It cannot help but create a new attitude toward the school life. No girl can afford to overlook the benefits to be derived from a brisk game of basket ball. Adelaide Vincent During the spring term horseback riding was intro- duced into the girls’ athletic program. Much enthusi- asm was displayed by the girls over the advent of this new sport, and consequently two afternoons a week were given over to it. The horses and instructors were procured at the “Von Lambeck Riding Academy.’’ The popularity of this sport has been so marked that the Girls' Athletic Association feels sure of its being included hereafter in their regular program.

To walk and breathe and rest, and be renewed in soul and body. Thus thinking one fine Saturday afternoon in Septem- ber a number of the girls set forth for the Indian trail at Maplewood Park. Equipped with the new outdoor cooking set which had just been purchased by the Girls’ Athletic Associa- tion, as well as lots of food, which is the prerequisite of every hike, the girls started on their journey. What a glorious afternoon it was, the sun sifted down thru the leaves on autumn trees, and the smell of fresh earth and flowers was an invitation from nature to leave the cares of school life behind and be her children once again. At the end of the trail is the Lake, which is a wonder- ful setting planned by nature, and may be enjoyed by everyone. After sitting and growing accustomed to the surroundings, the more energetic ones built a campfire. Soon the aroma of coffee and sizzling hot dogs reached the nostrils of the hungry hikers, who gathered around the fire and did justice to the food. This hike proved so successful that three others were planned. The hikers next going for a jaunt over Pinnacle Ridge, which is one of Roch- ester’s most picturesque spots. At all these hikes dusk came too soon and it was with reluctance that the girls started for home. Aye, a little tired and weary, perhaps, but refreshed in body and mind, ready to take up with more zeal the duties of the following week.

Everyone was happy as everyone should be when all that goes to make up the daily routine is cast aside in favor of an honest-to-goodness picnic under a faultless sky. George Wickman, the committee chairman, had obtained a good coach from the Y.M.C.A. to run off the team games, and races. Phi Sigma Phi won a five-inning baseball game from Chi Delta Phi, 6-3. The single men of the Faculty lost a five-inning indoor game to the married men because the latter tottered on the diamond arrayed in dainty boudoir caps and aprons which had a most upsetting influence on their opponents. After an appetizing lunch, and after resting a bit we were in fine shape to cavort to the tune of Knop’s “Silent Six” in Dreamland wishing that eleven o’clock would never come. It did and we went home sorry, but happy. Carnival 1922 On December 15th at 7:15 the doors of the Eastman Building were thrown open to receive the crowd for the annual Carnival. The clever stunts contributed by the various organizations were all to be commended. The Art League staged a show wherein the dancing proved to be of the type not easily forgotten. The Dramatic Club billed a true-to-life comedy known as “Mrs. Jen- kins Boarding House.” The Dorm Girls proved that 102 Spring Street was not so slow by putting out a bit of Gallagher and Shean. The Federal Board Club drew checks on a Minstrel Show, while Chi Epsilon Phi showed the latest developments in pugilistic movements. Phi Sigma Phi “sheiked” their audience into an Oriental show, while their neighbors the Seniors assisted by “Silent Lcddcn” mystified theirs with a magic show. Eta Beta Pi vended candy, etc, in the hall. Chi Delta Phi closed the historical event in Bevier with the Midnight Frolic. One Hundred Seventy-nine MMIKEN One Hundred Eighty Chi Delta Phi Basketball Team Fraternity-Alumni Mardi-Gras The third annual Inter-fraternal Mardi Gras was held on Friday Evening, March 1( , 192$, This year the Mardi Gras was combined with the Alum- ni Basketball game, thus making it a more eventful evening. Hereafter this mid-year celebration will be known as the “Fraternity-Alumni Mardi- Gras,' ’ The first thing on the program was the annual Basketball game between Phi Sigma Phi and Chi Delta Phi Fraternities, the latter winning by a score of 12 to 8. Following this game. Dean and Airs, Johns were presented with a small truck load of wooden articles in honor of their fifth wedding anniversary which happened to fall on the same date. The Dean responded in a fitting manner and in company with Mrs. Johns, made a circuit of the hall, drawing Ids load of offerings behind him amid the rousing cheers of the students. The next number was a comedy game, a picture of which appears at the bottom of the page and which caused a lot of merriment. After the Comedy Game, the Alumni Basketball team, composed of “Steve Brodie” and “Fat Baker” of 1915-16-17, Alansfield and Nichols of 1918-19-20, Kurtz and Hanna of 1920-21 and Ed. Riggs of 1920-21-22 played the School team. They made a great fight the first half, the score being 1( to 11 with the Alumni at the small end, but the last half was marked with frequent rest periods and the final score was 82 to 18 in favor of the School Team. There was dancing after the games with music by Fitzgeralds Orchestra. The Grand March was led by President Randall, the line passing the check room where they received confetti, serpentines, hats and other favors, then on to the floor again which was soon a wilderness of confetti and ser- pentines lighted by colored lights. The dancing continued until one o’clock. There were about 850 present, including the Alumni and next year it is hoped to make it a larger and livelier get-together than old M. I. has ever before experienced. One Hundred Eighty-one •' R MIKIN M. I. Hall of Fame Y authority of the power invested in us, we take great pleasure in submitting the results of the annual elections to Mechanics Institute Hall of Fame. Bo v hi) of Electors. The Most Popular Much competition was noted in this, and until the time to close the polls, the outcome was much in doubt. Ballots cast for the Postman, Mr. Durand of Durand’s Boat House, and the Cashier, were declared void because of no connections with the Student Body. Arthur Blanchette drew first place with 57 votes; David Kessler, second with 56, and Grace Peck third with 53. The following also ran: Mandy McGill. Gertrude Knoepfel, Marvin (’arter, Andrew Doyle; while Miss Helen Stoutenburgh received honorable mention—(popular as Babbitts’ Soap). The Most Ambitious What drives a person on to greater heights in this world? Ambition! Dorothy King becomes Queen Ambition, breaking the tape with 36 ballots —a perfect score. Frank Cushner was second with 32 and Helen Sekol third with 30. Other ambitious ones were Martin Barry, Louise Lewis, Whitcomb Pollard, Kenneth Winship, and Lucy Cardwell. The Laziest To be lazy and suffer for it is unthinkable, but to be lazy and get away with it is marvelous. Many nominations for this particular place were re- ceived and because of this we will submit first, second, and third places only. Harold Reid lead the large field of contestants by a margin of 25 ballots. Jack Slavin copped second, while Nell Marion Garling came puffing in with third. The Most Athletic It is a poor election that does not have its dark horse. After stum- bling along all day Jack Slavin steamed into first place and took the count with 63 votes. His nearest rival was Adelaide Vincent with 49 scraps of paper. Doris Baltzcll followed as third with 45, and honorable mentions were licked up by the following: Hugh Redpath, John Judge, Gunnar Wiig, and Gladys Colcord.

Charles Tibell is higher, and Lee Sherwood is high. No other nominations.4 The Greatest Bluffer Kenneth Winsbip took the count for 58 tickets. Winship seems to be King Bluff himself for his nearest rival is Marion Griffith with 12 ballots.

Music is the pleasing sound of harmon- ious vibrations. Whether it is from an instrument, person, a bird, or a squeaky rocking chair, make no difference. Even the cat’s meow is music to the cat even if it isn’t to us. We take great pleasure in announcing Arthur Dickenson as the winner, ('link Stedman holds up second and William Powell carries third. Other musicians receiving awards are: Howard Simmons, DeSales McMillan, Marion Tuthill, Eloise Burns, and Bertha Catch pole. The Girls’ Favorite This is a delicate proposition, hut results are results. School popularity is like soda water—it effervesces very readily, Ben Trobia seems to be the greatest favorite with 53 smacks. Frank Napoli is second and Stephen Kraskiewiez third. Other would-be “Valentinos” withdrew before the polls closed. The Most Popular Building on the Campus Here we have a surprise. The Dorm long known as the only building enclosed by Plymouth, Spring, and Washington has been ousted by the Practice House. Just why this is, cannot now be decided, but there has long been a feeling of superiority expressed by the girls who live at the little Colonial Dwelling, over the girls of the six-story apartments. The power house came second with a vote of 39.5 and the M. I. C. A. third with a measly 5. Some droll individual voted for the side porch of the School of Optometry thinking perhaps that it would pull a booby prize.
