If we have succeeded in maintaining the former standards of the RamiJdn and carrying her banner a little higher this year we are content. Our humble efforts, hopes, prayers, and tears are now past history and in your handswe place the product thereof. May you have the good- ness to he merciful in your criticisms. Remember, we have had your pleasure as our goal. Hendric Van Ingen WHOSE MEMORY WILL LINGER IN OUR HEARTS AND WHOSE LIFE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN AN INSPIRATION IN THIS INSTITUTION WHERE HE SO LOYALLY SERVED; THIS VOLUME IS SINCERELY DEDICATED. THE CLASS OF 1924 ■JG 3E TI The Institute HE object of this Institute shall be to promote such A practical education as may enable those persons 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 Lomb 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; Bevier 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 Institute has an enrollment of fully two thousand students and with the remarkable expansion it has made, its founders’ hopes have become realities.

We are leaving old M l. after com- pleting our work to embark out into the cruel, cruel world, but when we reflect a little we seem to realize that after all we are equipped as fighters should be. M. I. has trained hundreds before us who are carrying away all obstructions, so we feel that our time has arrived to take our places beside them. Many little things were taught us in our Freshman and Junior years that have a broader meaning to us now and all taken together, will mean a lot to us in later years. The good old times we had, the thought of which makes all the hours of hard work fade into nothing. As we review some of our activities, the Fresh- man reception seems to come first, where we first met some of those who have become our best friends. Again we smile as the memory of our green- ness is recalled, when we were ordered to wear yellow ribbons, green middies, matchless shoes and stockings. Those who were stubborn received a nice ride out into the country, but alas!—to walk back minus shoes. But our good Dean, Mr. Johns, sympathized with us and called the rules out of order due to neglect of work and roughness. Many a sigh of happiness was let forth. Then the great event of the year, the annual carnival, where as Freshmen we displayed a circus which was quite successful. Then we looked forward to do our share to the new coining Frosh. Then came our Junior year. We were late in getting under way but when we did, things started with a bang. First came the banquet in the girls rest room of the Eastman building. The affair was very successful due to close cooperation of the Junior class and the girls of the lunch room management course. Then the Junior Prom which was held at the Sagamore Hotel was a re- markable success. Again we recall the successful way the candy sales were arranged due to the efforts of those interested; and last came our trip to Coberg with the graduating class. They thought we were land lubbers but we noticed signs of seasickness on the faces of some of the mighty Seniors. This closed our Junior year and upon returning for our final year, we were long in getting started but somehow our enthusiasm had waned fot all parties. We settled down to good hard work but with I lie thought of Senior week in mind when we would again revive the old times. We have three days in which to enjoy ourselves. Then we will gaze upon our diplomas which will close our happy days at old M. 1. 8 'i ui J se 3E 3Tfl J umor Ck ass Harley F. Guilford Margaret O'Shea .

During the present term t he (Mass expects to put on several social events. The Junior Dance is our big event which will be held May the second, in the Revier Hall. The plans are well under way and several committees are working. All in all it may be said that the Junior ( lass is no back number in the school this year and are trying to make I his year’s class a great success.

Being the only Sophomore class in school, it has endeavored to make its mark in the history of I la Mechanics Institute this year. Its main purpose has been to raise money to send two delegates to Silver Bay, which was quite successfully carried out through candy sales, auctions and a valen- tine card party. The class also hopes to enjoy a wonderful banquet before the end of the year. It is doubtful whether any class has had so much fun as the Sophomores have. A noisy crowd perhaps, or at least some teachers think so; but who can help laughing when for instance, a member in cooking (‘lass uses her bread dough for a punching bag or juggles pies like a real acrobat. There has been lots of work to do but upon looking back over the year t lie class has had many good times doing it. At the beginning of the year there was a class picnic and a bridge party. Later the class got together in order to pul on the “circus'’ for the carnival. At auctions much mirth was provided when many mysterious packages were opened. The valentine card party held in the rest room gave the mem- bers of the class a chance to show their artistic ability in decorating and domestic ability in baking cookies and making tea. In the early part of March the class gave a coffee at the practice house tor- tile Freshmen and faculty. The affair was well attended. Soon there is to be a Baby Party at which prizes will lx awarded for the funniest and cutest costumes. Candy Salt's! Yes, I In Sophomores have had one every month. There has been good candy and a great variety. I ndoubtedly there will be more parties and fun before members emerge from the Sophomore to Junior.

With high ambitions they sought. The Rochester Athenaeum and Me- chanics Institute as the “One” school of advanced learning in which to prepare themselves to reach their higher aims of life. The surroundings were strange, the people were strange, and stranger still were their futures for they were to compose the Freshman Class of that great Institute. There dwelt in their minds something which they could not describe. It was not fear, nor was it the strangeness of the people which kept them a divided body. It was anxiety. They were anxious to know what their fate would be at the hands of the upperclassmen. Finally came the call of an assembly. The anxiety reached its height. President Randall, in conclusion of the session told the Freshmen fellows to remain after the rest were dismissed and these met their fate in form of the Ten Command- ments drawn up by the Seniors. No one seems to fully recall these Commandments but in a few days, however, these men were seen about the school attired in baby bonnets and green ribbons securely tied below the knee. The men who resisted the upper classmen were seen walking back to school after being given a ride far out of the city. While this was going on the girls of that Freshman Class were subjected to initiations given in the dormitory. They were also seen in unusual dress. They appeared with middies on backwards, with their hair in braids dan- gling down their backs and green kerchiefs about their heads. Then came a great relief to all when President Randall’s proclamation calling off all ini- tiations was posted. Many were seen to heave a sigh of relief. In a short time they were assembled and they became a solid body to be known as an ideal body of Freshmen. The first social event of the year was the reception and dance given in honor of the new comers by the faculty. It was a glorious event and every- one who took part was well pleased. At this affair the new comers were treated far more cordially than they were when they first entered the Institute. By the end of October events were happening rapidly but the Freshmen fell in with the upper classes and helped make the events in which they entered a great success. The boys made fine material for basketball, while the girls took up hiking and hockey. The most delightful event was the Freshman Dance which proved very successful. As the year continued this class of Freshmen gained knowledge and acquired wisdom. We sincerely hope they will continue to do so while journeying along life’s pathway of learning in this great Institute, I H IL. . -.=31 =11 =ji' SI _ Ji — 11 Fine Arts Freshmen William Anderson Ruth Luig Virginia Arnold Doris Lyons Charlotte Bowman Raymond McI onald Mary Carroll Herman Martinson Myrtle Clark Mabel Mathews Margaret Dutton Ella Miller Armand Oaita Beatrice Post F.

With this end in view they elected Vincent Browne to meet the Faculty Committee on Publications and to lay plans for the year’s work in this line. The plans laid out at that meeting were nearly all carried out this year; the remainder will be fulfilled next year. A general summary of these plans are: 1. That a school paper to be effective must be published at least quarterly, in addition to the Senior Annual. 2. That the staffs of both the Senior Annual and the school organ be combined and func- tion throughout the year. 3. That the paper must finance itself, if possible. 4. That the staff be appointed the year previous to their Senior year. While the school paper was not a howling success this year; it was not, by any means a failure. It accomplished its purpose of starting a school organ back on the high road to success. It is believed that the publications of next year will be something to be proud of, if the Student Body give something more than mediocre support. A school organ should be a cross section of the school, it should he the voice of the students, and every organization should be represented upon it. Bearing this in mind, the organizations should elect their representative to the Raiuikin staff at the same time they elect their regular officers. Remember the name selected for all school publications ‘R-A-M-I-Kl V means ‘'little Mechanics Institute,” but the greatness of the paper depends upon the Student Body.

It was founded in 1901 and organized with s x charter members. At present there are twenty-three active members in I he chapter. Phi Sigma Phi is enjoying a very successful and prosperous year and has put over a number of social affairs which have excited a great deal of favor- able comment. ()ne of the best events was a dance held at t he Hotel Roches- ter on Washington’s birthday, which ranked among the greatest events of the school year. Another dance at Bevier Hall was just as great a success. Plans are under way for more social events, which, however, will be confined to the fraternity members themselves. A reception was given in honor of Miss Campbell of Columbus, Ohio, better known as ‘'Miss America ' winner of the beauty pageant at Atlantic City, during her visit to Rochester last Spring. No, the active chapter is not the only live wire of the organization. The alumni members have a well-organized chapter which meets semi-monthly at the Seneca Hotel, and they do much to keep the old spirit and ideals alive in the active ehapter, not only by advice, but by delegating members to attend the regular meetings and also by helping out at the social affairs. The alumni of Phi Sigma Phi are scattered throughout the United States and whenever visiting Rochester they find a hearty welcome and greeting from their brothers. Every member is proud of his connection with this organization which has done so much to make his lot a more pleasant one at old M. I., and our hearts heat more rapidly as wc sing: HONORARY Alfred A.

The purpose of the f rat emit v wa to bind in brotherly order the chemical and electrical men of the Institute This enabled those men who became members of this society an unusua opportunity to advance themselves in scholastic standing in their courses to broaden their ideals and standards for the school of life in years to come A series of lectures and talks given by competent men on problems o interest to the members lias been a practice of the fraternity. By this pro grain much good has been derived by the men; also the spirit of learning and doing has become dominant. Owing to the fact that a large number of the active members of (’hi Ep silon Phi were seniors and have since left school, we have in t he fraternity j large majority of new men. These men have proved themselves excellent workers and with a deep respect ami admiration for their order. Since the fraternity was organized, it has been very active in school activities. Chi Epsilon Phi men can lx found on all our teams and at any of the school social affairs. The fraternity held two dances early in the year, both of which were well attended and declared a success. In the drive to build up the fraternity, we have been forced to neglect tlx social calendar for a short time. Now as Spring approaches we find the fraternity as strong, if not stronger, than at any other period of its history. The remaining social events will be two parties which will be held this Spring.

In the summer of 1921 they moved into a new home at 79 Trcmont 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.

The final pledge party was given at the Sagamore, at which time nine members were pledged After formal invita- tion, a party was given to the new members at the Temple theater. A tea dance was held in the dormitory living room. The other sororities were entertained at a tea given in the Bevier living room. Many interesting activities are planned to complete a happy and a prosperous year. Every Saturday two girls visit the General Hospital, taking small gifts to The sorority was founded with several aims. The girls are striving to live ii}) to these ideals and to make the sorority of such a high standard that its influence will be felt not only while the girls are in school but in after years.

The council Is the governing body of the Students Association and also acts as a mediator between Administration and Student Body. It is financed by a fee of $4.00 paid by each student entering the school. The first question to be considered this year was that of football. It was decided that football should he discontinued, because of its expensiveness, also lack of equipment and training necessary for a winning team. A ques- tion of division of funds among men and women arose and was settled for the year through sacrifice on the part of both. The carnival was carried off with much enthusiasm and was indeed a success from every point of view, by leaving a bit in the treasury. The next thing to he supported by the council will be I la Pay Day. This, if given the support of the student body, will also he a success and a day to well be remembered. The Council has worked very hard to make this year a great success and thev wish to thank the Student Body for ils loyal support and cooperation.

The Freshmen were initiated in a more than usual thrilling manner, Bevier being unable to supply enough thrills, the victims were dragged over to Eastman to com- plete the horrors. Upon being revived, they were fed bounteously and offered diverse entertainment. When the new members had become fully established the Art League gave an “At Home” party which everyone attended. Faculty and students sat on the floor, tables or chairs, and ate popcorn and apples by the bushel. At the Carnival the Art League was in its element. “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” lost nothing in our hands and gained much. An Apache refreshment booth was run on the first floor under auspices of the Art League. A i enchant for the fantastic was given full sway in the Bal Masque given December 14. Costumes of every description prevailed, varying from their majesties the King and Queen, to an impudent powder puff. A peppy program had been drafted by the activity committee. The Art I league is about to close one of its most prosperous and enter- taining years.

The six girls, Marion Chidsey, Harriet Guilford, Elva Stand, Mildred Forester, Irene Dillenbeek, and Miss Mil- dred Coffin, who attended Silver Bay Conference last summer, came back to us tIiis fall with such enthusiasm that all the girls received inspirations, and to them is clue much of the credit for making this year so successful. Un the Sunday evenings from September through December, regular Sunday evening services were held in the parlors of tin1 Third Presbyterian Church. The song services were followed by lunch, after which Dr. Stone led the discussions based on the book of Mark. The Social Service work which has been carried on this year under the direction of Gladys Cook, has been of a most interesting character. Classes in cooking and sewing are being taught at the Baden Street School by Helen Flinn and Marian Cummings; at Hibbard Street by Marion Gell and Dorothy Houck; at Lewis Street by Alice Hutchinson, Florence Lintz, and Ida Stand; at the Rochester Settlement by Elsie Sanford and Mabel Waltie. On the twelfth of December, the Y. W. witnessed its greatest success - the Christmas Bazaar. At eleven o'clock the assembly hall doors were opened, revealing a most attractively decorated room. The booths for fancy work, novelties, Christmas cards, candy, food, and to say nothing of the fish pond, were trimmed with Japanese flowers and designs, and pre- sided over by girls in Japanese costumes. The dietetics class served tea throughout the day. I’nder the direction of Mrs. Drake, a Christmas pantomime was presented in both the afternoon and evening. The sales of the day were concluded by an auction capably conducted by Dean Johns. The whole undertaking, to which the entire school gave such loyal support, was indeed a success, and to clear one hundred and sixty-five dollars exceeded all expectations. The week-end of February the eighth. Miss Mildred Coffin, Marian Chidsey, Marjorie Waterman, Gladys Cook. Eleanor Mitchell, and Alice Leete were sent as delegates to Syracuse to attend the Student Volunteer onference. The inspirations received from the meetings, and the hospital- ity shown by the Sorority girls at whose houses the girls were entertained, will not be forgotten. Now, the girls are busy with their plans for next year, and in preparing to send as large a number of representatives as possible to the Silver Bay (’onference this summer. 1 137 EH= =](= J MEN'S ATHLETICS WILLIAM EDGAR BUCK Athletic Governing Board Men's Athletics Alfred A, Johns. Carl IIotton 1r, -Martin Mr. Gessell Mr. Brodie . Chairman Secretary James Austin Dewey Bowers Arthur Dye Basketball IT POX decision of the Student Council, football was abolished for the J year of 1923 and basketball became the leading sport at the Institute. Thirty-five candidates turned out at the beginning of the season and among these there were four letter men of last year. Captain Shaw, Cooley, Powers and IIotton. These men with the other thirty-one, started practice at once. The work of the club was carried out under difficulties due to the lack of facilities, but through the generosity of East High School and Kodak Park and with the tine practice a week at Bausch bomb Court, the men have been able to get into condition as the schedule shows, and devel- oped a strong team as the year progressed. Mr. Arthur Dye, as manager, and Dickinson as assistant manager, arranged a hard schedule playing nearly all teams in Western New ork. It was through their efforts, combined with the efforts of Mr. Gessell,the faculty manager, that a winning combination was found. The work of Captain Shaw at guard and IIotton at forward was very commendable. These players were very consistent and it was their steady interest and head work that gave many points to the Institute score. Dewev Powers and William Scanlon divided the honors at right guard, Messinger and Stearns at left forward, Cooley and Copeland at (‘(niter. Much credit is given Carl IIotton in the way he captained the team in the absence of Cap- tain (’harles Shaw, An Alumni game was played at the annual Inter-Fraternal Mardi (iras and at this time the Old Blue and Gray Stars under the leadership of Steve Brodie all appeared to show that their ability as basketball players still remained. They made a great fight the first half, the score being 20 to 14 with the Alumni at the small end, but the last half was marked with frequent rest periods and the final score was 150 to 2 in favor of the school team. The Inter-Fraternal Basketball game of the season w as played March 28 at Bausch and Bomb Court between Chi Delta Phi and Chi Epsilon Pin, the ( hi I )clta boys winning by a score of 20 to 5. The ’hi Epsilon team was held to the Iasi without a field goal to their credit, the five points being made from the foul line. After the game the committee had whistles, confetti, serpentine and paper hats passed out to all after which the orchestra played until one o’clock, the dormitory girls having to leave at 12:30. The letter men of the season are IIotton, Shaw, Scanlon, Messinger, Cooley and Powers. These men will receive letters from the school, as lias been the custom of former years. Messinger was high scorer of the season, playing in 18 games, making sixty-three points with thirty-three point s scored by opponents from the field. ! 1 r— =]| LZI=U =JI Men’s Athletics— Continued Carl Hotton, Martin Stearns . .

If iking Sopitamore Represetitat ire I'resit m a u Representa t i re Junior Representative II seems impossible to think that another year has gone by, but “tempus fugit s ' With the beginning of school came meetings full of enthusiasm and a determination to make this year at school “the best yet.” I don’t know when we've had a better time than at the G. A. V, house party last October, at the Stand Cottage on tlie lake. We experienced not one dull or uninteresting moment, The sunset that night was simply gorgeous and as we quietly watched the vivid orange and rose fade away, we all fell a great big something in common. The strolls along the beach as well as the games played throughout the evening kept most of us out of mischief. Can’t you just picture us around the campfire singing to our heart’s con- tent, with the moon shining overhead easting an ever restless light across the water. None of us were backward about sampling Dilly s wares—simply marvel- ous creamy fudge, and we all agreed that it tasted like more. It was Norm's birthday party, and house party or no, we had a real birthday cake. Sunday dawned even more resplendent than the preceding day. We walked, paddled on the lake, explored every nook and corner of the water- front, ate and I hen ate some more. Always the breaking up time bring regrets, and we were loathe to leave our pleasant abode, after two days of good fellowship and a closer com- munion of spirit. We started hockey practices with an immense squad reporting. After playing on a miniature field, it was a joy to romp about on one of regulation size, even though we did have to take time out to rest. We rented a bus to take us to South Park, and every Monday and Thursday humped along merrily singing our songs. The upper-classmen played against the lower at the end of the season, resulting in a victory for the former. Peg O'Shea, head of hockey and incidentally captain of the upper-class team, certainly deserves credit for the way the sport developed. Mention should be made of the lively little freshies who reported most faithfully for practice. Keep up the good work, Frosli, you'll win out vet! Oh, the Hallowe’en Party! We were back in the days of our youth with all the thrills of a Chamber of Horrors, playing Drop the Handkerchief, and rolling apples with our noses. Wink’um featured, too, and you should have seen our Faculty. The greatest fun though, was the match box relay race, the box being passed via noses down the line. Nothing was ever fun- nier than to see Crosier trying to place said box on Miss Benedict’s nose. Individual pies and. cider never tasted better. We hiked to Pinnacle Ridge one perfect day, when the sky was a most heavenly blue with white puffy clouds. 11 was one of those days that makes one glad to be alive. We walked and walked with food in hand, good food, too—steaks and “apples on sticks.” You know we started riding last year, but this fall there was a perfect influx of freshmen to whom riding seemed to make a special appeal. So it was that we had to schedule three periods a week, Mr, Yon Lombeck and Harry displayed great patience with us. In sunshine or rain, walking or trotting, bumping along or in perfect “post,” our enthusiasm never waned. None of us will forget those rides back of the hospital and through the woods, the sky aglow with the setting sun. Tt was early in November that we went down to Alice Hutchinson's cottage for another house party. We went sailing and oh, such thrills! Some of us had never been before, but are ready to go again. Our late arrivals were unfortunate in missing it, but they contented themselves by walking along the water’s edge. A piece of pie had mysteriously disappeared, affording opportunity for a mock trial. As we were gathered around the camp fire that evening on the beach, all present were tried. How can people guilty of such crimes appear so innocent. “Whole stole the pie?” You would be surprised! In the morning we walked out to the lighthouse and round about the town, later returning to eat. People do eat on such parties, too. Again the day wore away much too quickly, for it meant leaving all behind save lovely memories of another enjoyable week-end together. Our second annual banquet was a huge success. All ran smoothly, due to our able committees who worked out the decorations and the dinner details to the last degree. Alice Lecte, sweet, calm and collected, presided as toast-mistress and a very good one she was, too. Several of the girls gave their thoughts on “Playing the Game Well.” We were fortunate to have Mrs. Harper Sibley speak to us on “Leader- ship.” Could anyone have been better? She radiates everything that is fine and noble and left a very strong message with us. Swimming is always popular at school. It is unfortunate that just as soon as really good swimmers are developed, it is time for them to leave school. However, with practices during the fall and winter, the latter taking place at Monroe Junior High School, we have been able to perfect strokes to some extent and incidentally have had our first real opportunity to dive. Oh, for a pool at school! This spring there will be a swimming meet and of no little interest to us is the Life-Saving work already begun. Wouldn’t it he just great to have a group of Red Cross Life-Savers in our midst! 1148 1 r DC The 1923-24 basketball season started in with some promise. The Brink Church Institute court was obtained, and practices were begun before the holidays. Teams were chosen and the final game was played in March. e went skiing a couple of times out at Highland, and such fun! Some of us had difficulty in negotiating the hills on the way down, while others had similar difficulty on the way up, Yc all had our little spills but they only offered amusement for the others. You have heard, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” And we did! 'Tis a glorious sport, though Full of thrills, with an accompanying tingling feeling that makes one conscious of being very much alive or ready to embrace Saint Peter himself. Captainball really is the indoor sport at school. It is a shame that our gym with its posts and supports permits nothing more. Our beginning was meagre, but as tire season progressed, we had five full teams playing, some sixty girls. The interclass games were exciting and full of surprises. The various tics of orange, red, blue, purple, and green lent touches of color here and there, and the agile figures flitting about, bid fair to rival Mercury himself. How- ever do people move so quickly, yet so easily? Surely the Sophs could tell! On our first hike this spring we went to Corbett’s Glen, and it was beauti- ful. You know the glen was once the bottom of tin1 lake. Father Time works wonders with this world of ours. There are still many things on our calendar: a “formal” at the Oak Hill Country Club, just before spring vacation, which will be a real party; also there is a sunrise breakfast planned which will bring out a large group we hope; then there are house parties coming and you’ll never guess—the Athletic Association are going to have a May Day, with a May Queen and all the attendants. The girls arc submitting original “May Days” and from the sewill be chosen the one. We are hard at work, for after all, things of an aesthetic nature does make an appeal to girls. In May we have our final assembly, with the announcements of awards. That will be exciting! New officers will be elected then too.

L J 1149 1 r POINT SYSTEM During the early part of the year the Council of the Girl’s Athletic Asso- ciation discussed “Athletics on a Point Basis ’ Later a committee was formed to work out a system whereby 100 points could be won by a good all-round girl during three or four years at school, and still another whereby a total of 50 points could be attained by a one or two year student. Formerly an “M” had been awarded to those girls picked for the arsity Teams, while numerals were given to those playing on their class teams. With the point system, a total of 100 points will give a girl an M. I. sweater, while an ‘‘M’’ will be given for those attaining 50 points. Num- erals will be given to the class squad. It is to be hoped that this point system will promote enthusiasm arid class spirit among the girls because after all it is friendly rivalry in competition that makes the school world go round.

The Freshmen were subjected to rigorous hazing according to reports from some among their number, but considered quite tame by the upper classmen. There were some truly grotesque figures among the Freshmen during the two days that they were treated so unmercifully. At dinner they gave the upperclassmen the impression that they were indeed dreadfully uncouth and uncultured. Such gluttons!! They drank their soup from the bowls, ate their dinner and salad with teaspoons or without the aid of any silver at all, buttered their bread with celery and ate their dessert with butter plates. Do you wonder that the impression was one of very ill-mannered little girls? As the year has passed we have changed our minds about the Freshmen and think that they will be very acceptable as future upperclassmen. Throughout the year at house meetings we have had the privilege of hear- ing from people who are interested and working on problems of government in groups of young people, especially those young people in school. There, too, we have discussed our own knotty problems and planned our good times for the year. The Dormitory Formal took place at the Seneca on the 14th of December, with the “University Four” supplying the music. At six-thirty the dorm began to sound like a bee-hive with a great deal of humming and buzzing conversation on each floor; by 7:3() it had steadily increased until it sounded like a whole colony of bee hives and by 8 o’clock pandemonium had broken loose and chaos reigned in the dorm. A frantic banging of doors and dresser drawers proved that many were searching frantically for something lost, a bracelet or an ear-ring or someone else trying at the last moment to borrow one more piece of jewelry for adornment . By 8:15 the men began to arrive and all the dorm gathered about the banisters to watch the fortunate ones depart—(and incidentally to see what she was wearing). By 9 o’clock the last stragglers had gone and quiet reigned in the dorm. Such a change—no noisy hustling and scurrying about, no loud talking nor laughing- instead soft swishing sounds announce the arrival of each girl and all the voices are L. ( 158 r soft and the laughter is subdued, t he Reason? They are at the dance and the room is bathed in lovely hues from colored lights and the orchestra is playing such heavenly music! The dancing continues for several hours and then at the stroke of twelve like so many Cinderella the dancers all return to the dorm. The formal was over but not forgotten and we believe that a good time was enjoyed by all!” It is the custom to have a Christmas tree and slam party each year just before the girls leave for Christinas vacation. Each girl draws a name, that of some person on her floor, and gives her a gift that hits one of her most obvious idiosyncrasies rather hard. As a rule everyone is a good sport and recognizes her little oddness with as much mirth as the others and there is no ill feeling. THE DORMITORY GIRLS Oh, pensive nun, Devout and pure!

At noon I he racket increased tenfold; school had been dismissed and everyone was lending a little help, astonishingly little on the part of some. In the various rooms off the main corridor they began to have some semblance of a small theater with all the fittings. As fast as the stages were assembled the fellows from the Electrical course rigged up the lighting apparatus. At seven the photographers from the local papers began to take pictures of the various actors and stunts. The Guests began to arrive at this time and the carnival was getting under way. Carnival spirit was not lacking, the actors and actresses intermingled with the crowds, all of which added color and feeling to the evening’s entertainment. Phis is what the Democrat and Chronicle thought of the Carnival, the spirit of it must have gotten into the reporter; on the head of an evilly-mustached figure which was wrapped iri long Mack capes: “He looks like Simon Legrro. The girl ami her escort followed the figure to a darkened lower room and discovered it was Simon Legrcc. There in the basement the Art League show was put on under the direction of L. C. Turner Woodward, who also was general chairman of the carnival. Through seven pantomime scenes a burlesque of “I nde Tom s abin ' was enacted. In another room the junior class presented a side show with a snake charmer who had real snakes, the bearded lady, the smoking skeleton, a fortune teller and a wild man, under the direction of T. M. YYinship and II. M. I ui I ford. Two biack cats, as large as human beings, stalked through a crowded corridor at Mech- anic's Institute last night, yet no woman shrieked nor any children fainted; a baity more than five feet long, howling with the voice of a man, was trundled, dangling legs and arms from its carriage, by an ««Id woman who beat upon a dish pan to silence the brat, yet bystanders only laughed. But what could be expected when a flock of art students are put ting on a carnivalJ These were only a few of the weird spect- acles that greeted the eye at the annual carnival of the Art League of Mechanics Institute, which transformed many of the bare-walled lecture rooms into theaters, dr- ills tents, cabarets and restaurants, Corridors were filled with cries of ballyhoos and hawk- ers vying with each other in noise to attract the hundreds of visitors towards their respect- ive exhibitions, while the din in one s ears was rivaled by the mixture of sights before one’s eyes. Simon Legree on Hand A Dutch girl and boy came elaeketiiig out of one room with their wooden shoes and flaming skirl or blouse and pushed a visitor away from themselves into arms of two spang- led clowns in Picrott costumes whose painted faces could not belie the girlish sparkle that flashed from four dark eyes. From a far end of the corridor a stovepipe seemed to be walking toward a young lady who watched it approach and exclaimed, as its nearness disclosed il to be a stove pipe hat Circus Draws Crowd The room in which the sophomore class, under the direction of Mrs. Gertrude Mee- han, put on a circus, was always crowded, and the V. Y. C. A. vaudeville show was one of the best drawing cards on the schedule. The Dramatic ( tub put on a one-act Farce, and the (’hi Epsilon Phi fraternity pleased in a musical offering. In one of the corridors Earl Pugsley and a group of students, garbed in conventional Bohemian artist togs, conducted an Apache stand where refreshments were served at sidewalk tables, The carnival shops closed their doors at 10:30 o'clock and all the guests adjourned to the gallery in the Bevirr building, where I lie Mechanics Institute Architectural Associa- tion held a midnight frolic. I 103 | r 3C The American Girl The German may sing of his rosy cheeked lass, The French of his brilliant-eyed Pearl; But ever the theme of my praises shall be The laughing American Girl, Yes, the jolly American Gill. She laughs at her sorrows, she laughs at her joys. She laughs at Dame fortune’s mad whirl And laughing will meet all her troubles in life, The laughing American Girl, Yes, the joyous American Girl. You say she can’t love if she laughs all the time? A laugh at your logie she'll hurl; She loves while she laughs and she laughs while she loves, The laughing American Girl, Oh the laughing American Girl.

Interest paid on deposits Security Trust Company Main and Water Streets L 202] Dt= J r DC DC DC DC The following essay won first prize in the essay contest held among the students of woodworking in Mechanics Institute, by the American Wood. Working Machinery Com pany. A '()l USE in wood working to be complete should embrace many things The educational value which can lie gleaned from such a course when il is spread over a period of three years is much greater than the casual observer might lie led to believe. Ever since manual training and hand work have been included in the curriculum of public schools and col- leges, these methods of training have become more and more popular, and their practical value has repeatedly been demonstrated. Wood working has been developed more than any oilier form «if manual training, largely because «if the abundance of the raw material, which lias been prolifically supplied by nature, and also because of the ease with which wood can 1m worked with edge tools. One of the first and most important requisites that should be expected from a course in wood work- ing is a knowledge of tools; their names, proper us , and adaptability to the work for which they were designed. Through the invention and improvement of woodworking machinery, much of the drudgery and labor has tx-en taken out of woodworking and cabinet making Therefore, a good general knowl- edge of woodworking machinery, its use and opera- tion, should piny an important part in a course in woodworking. Thus the course should give skill in hand work first, and following that, should teach skill in machine work. When these two methods have been mastered they can be correlated in the making of furniture and cabinet making. Another phase which the course should embrace is the technology of wood. This should include the elements of Forestry and the habits of trees The nature, and uses, to which tile different woods can be put. tugcfher with some knowledge as to what has been done, and what can be done, in conserving the Ixmeficieut gift of nature; all require study that will help broaden the intellect and help to benefit mankind by the application of knowledge thus gained. Every individual desires to have a home ami most people do much and careful planning in order to realize this dream. In no phase of modern life does wood take1 quite such an important place as in the building and furnishing;of a home Therefore, w hat could be more fitting in a course of wood working L than the rudiments of architecture, carpentry, and cabinet making. The elements and principals of good design in furniture making should be of first importance, because the making of furnit ure requires more skill than any other woodworking trade. In designing, and in executing the furniture designed, beauty should be combined with good construct ion, and il is therefore important to learn patience, be- cause quality production rather than quantity pro- duction should be aimed at. More extensive educa- tion in woodworking in schools should do much to bring hack the pride of good craftsmanship that prevailed with the old guild system. No course in woodworking would be complete unless il imparted a good training in (lie art of wood finishing, because much of tin beauty as well as durability is given t« wood work by the finishing process. Therefore, a study should lx made of pig- ments, stains, varnishes, and fillers their use, derivation, and application. Such a subject might include repairing and refinishing of old furniture, which with a little bit of work can be renovated into the masterpiece ir originally w as. Finally, it is desirable that a student in wood- working should Im1 taught as much as possible about period furniture, in order that he may assimilate as much as lie can of tin wisdom, and experiences, of master craftsmen of by-gone days. A study of the history and styles of furniture is one of the surest ways of learning what is good and bad and of edu- cating g«iod taste in cabinet making. Learning from the experience of others is what lifts man above the beasts and it is often wise to heed examples set by theoid masters, though individuality need not neces- sarily suffer thereby. It is such a course and such a variety of knowledge, that I expect from my course in wood working, and in the seeking of material for study, both in ....ks and hv actual observation many other educational factors of great value will enter in. It should teach patience and foresight. History will enter in, in studying periods, tomography in studying forestry and wood, Enlgish in writing or reading of materials, ami many other libera! subjects would have to be gone into more or less in pursuing the studies «if such a course.
