I THE RAMI KIN MECHANICS INSTITUTE CLASS’ OF 1925 FOREWORD In this book, the fourteenth volume of The Ramikiti, we have gathered a brief history of the school year 192.4- 192.5. When the Class of 1915 is grad- uated and the members take their several ways along the road of Life, this book will, we hope, be cher- ished as a record to which they mav turn to live again in memory their school life. TO MARY CONSTANCE HAVENS In token of her loyalty, friendship, and helpfulness we dedicate this hook THE CLASS OF I 2. 5 THE INSTITUTE HE object of this Institute shall be to promote such practical education as may enable chose persons re- ceiving instruction to become better fitted for their occupations in life. This was a statement of the consti- tution 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 The Institute now is composed of the Eastman Building, a gift of George Eastman in the year nineteen hundred; Bevicr Memorial Building, a gift of Mrs. Susan Bevier; and a large well-equipped Industrial Arcs Building com- monly known as the Manual Training Building. The Practice House, maintained for the use of the School of Home Economics, is a dwelling on South Washington Street which has been remodeled and equipped with all the latest household improvements, and which is occu- pied by the students themselves while under instruction; the Girls' Dormitory was acquired 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. type. ten THE RAMIKIN !• AST MAN BUILDING BEV IER MEMORIAL BUILDING GIRLS DORMITORY Pagt fourteen THE RAMIKIN BOARD OF DIRECTORS Carl F.

Yes, and if you don't believe ic just glance through the next few pages and our smil- ing faces should be ample assurance. The old school surely did hum when we struck it in September, 192.1. That first week! That we lived through it is one of the well-known seven wonders First, the long lines before the cashier’s desk where we bid farewell to our spare cash, then days of wearing green ribbons, carrying umbrellas, walking upstairs backwards and treasuring milk bottles. However, at the end of the second week came our first big reward, the Freshman reception, The ban was lifted, it was our night and we had one glorious time. Great was the strife during our Freshman elections as to who should hold the chair of state bur we finally agreed on Bill Buck, as our president, and this choice we never had any cause to regret. Our other officers were equally well chosen so the stage was set for a prosperous year of work and play. When the annual carnival time in October swung round it found the Fresh men ready to do their bit to put the thing over. Our President planned and car- ried out our stunt for chat night. All those who came to Bevicr Hall on that night in May when we gave our Spring Dance will agree that it was a grand success. Decorations, dancing, and punch were much enjoyed by all. The coming of another September found us scurrying from all parts of the country back to the now Familiar halls to embark with new pep and push on another year, not so green bv far, much, much wiser, ever gaining a touch of sophistication so enviable to the incoming class. Our Junior year passed swiftly, so swiftly in fact that spring and the Junior Prom were facing us far before we were ready for them. Much debate had we as to whether the Prom should be formal or informal, but the formal won by a large majority. The Prom was given in the Hotel Seneca and in every way reflected credit on its main promoter, our president, Harlev Guilford. September, 192.4, our last year facing us. We buckled in with a vim and soon teachers were wont to exclaim at the industry of the Seniors, who rushed by, arms piled high with books, heads jammed full of knowledge. For President this year we chose William Warren, better known as Bill. Even though his other duties have followed him hard, he has not neglected his duty as President of his class. Senior week is coming and many pleasant things have been planned for our entertainment. Among them is one which will also entertain the rest of the school. This is Class Day; we promise to entertain you in right good style. Commencement marks the knell of parting Seniors, we wish you good-bye not without envv, for the glorious times you are to have we understand for we have had them, too. We will be glad in our work out in the world, but is there one of us who will look back on the days at the Institute without a smile for the joys and the hint of a sigh for the happy times gone by?

Presiiimr FRESHMEN CLASS Two hundred and twenty-live boys and girls started a new life when they entered Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute on September 24, 192.4. For a week each one was put through the ordeal of initiation by the upperclassmen. Most (?) of the frosh strictly adhered to the rules and it was not the fault of all other students if they were not made to feel as though they were nothings about the Institute. It was not until October }rd that these two hundred and twenty'-live students met together to devise some plan by which thev might make known the place they were going to occupy in the future. On this day they organized as the Freshmen Class. The first event which helped to prove that this might be, was the Freshmen girl's victory in the Competitive Sing. Their songs showed that thev had co- operated and that they were full of pep and ready to do anything for their Alma Mater. The first social event, excepting of course the Annual Freshman Reception, was a Tea Dance in Bevier Hall on March 17, 1915. The dance was a big success and gave promise of a bigger dance later in the year. Mot much can be said for the class from the standpoint of knowledge, but that is what we are here for and we arc earnestlv hoping to go out as brilliant and successful as the preceding classes have done, eighty-nine THE RAM IK IN' FRESHMEN Leon Hakes Mark Kirstein Harold Ruben J.

Orilla Wreg-ht President V ice-President Secretary Treasurer The Y W.C.A., organized in 1913, is one of the two organizations which unites all the girls of the school. During the last two years much work has been done among the settlements, by girls who conducted classes in cooking and sewing. At Christinas, too, we did our little hit by supplying two families with baskets and with a few toys. The bazaar held at the school in December, proved to be one of the big affairs of the year, The assembly hall gave the appearance of an old-fashioned garden with hundreds of brightly colored butterflies fluttering among the wisteria. The Y.W. so keenly feels the influence brought by the girls from the Silver Bay Conference chat each year the number of delegates increases. Twelve girls attended the conference last year and we hope, if possible, to double the number this year. The Silver Bay Association from the University of Rochester and ours from M. I., have had joint meetings and parties. Delegates from these two associa- tions are known as one at Silver Bay—the Rochester delegation. At present plans for the June Conference are under way.

And, indeed, they arc clever as a few moment's reflection will show when we recall what they have done this year. No sooner was school in full swing last fall, than preparations for the Hallowe'en Masque were made with paper, brushes and paint, and the event itself was indeed gratifying. Hardly was this over, when advertising for the Carnival was begun in the poster contest which was won by Mr. Claude Lewis, first prize; Mr. Norman Kent, second prize; and Mr. William Buck, third prize, with honorable mention awarded to Miss Cornelia Jones and Mr. John Hap- good. Due to the skill of our comedians, Holden and Lewis, and our dancers, Miss Marguerite Butts and “AT’ Watson, under the direction of Mr. William Buck, the Art League stunt netted a goodly sum for the show, was the hit of the carnival, and won the applause of all who attended. The League cannot only give a show, but it knows how to give a real party, which it did to crown its success at Christmas time in the Bevier Living Room. The Art School Faculty and students were all invited and from what I heard, they wished that the party might have lasted longer. Except for an occasional “at home, nothing has taken place since Christ- mas, but a real vaudeville show, consisting of dancing and musical numbers, is now under way, and at this writing is very nearly ready to present. From all indications, the show ought to be a great success and a credit to the school, and it will close the year’s activities with one final worthwhile production, which is always the aim of the League.

Really, though, our two skating parties were simply loads of fun, in spite of a few falls in the beginning. After a while we were so expert that we had several interclass races, the Juniors coming out on top. Although roller skating does not show signs of becoming a regular school sport, it certainly is a diverting and exhilarating pastime. G. A. A. CARD PARTY On Sr. Valentine s Day our G.A.A. Council entertained us delightfully at a card party in the Rest room. In a bower of hearts were nestled tables and a jollv old bunch of M I. girls vied with each other over clubs and spades. Did vou ever hear such interesting conversation (except when Gcllic's table began to get noisy and balloons began getting broken?) Both Bridge and 500 were played and prizes were given for each table. You may be sure that we had a lovely time and to top it all Id Stand had charge of rhe refreshments.

However, it is neither for the eats nor for the five points allotted toward the “M which each girl with an attendance at ten scheduled hikes wins, that the G.A.A. girls love to hike. First there were the long hikes which we took along the shores of Lake Ontar- io last fall on that never-to-be-forgotten G.A.A, House Party. Then what could have been more wholesome and invigorating than to tramp in late October away from the noise and dirt of the city out to the clean and restful hills of Corbett's Glen? Ocher hikes were scheduled, down the old Indian Trail and up the river. Early in January, ten girls, who had been planning and waiting for weeks, came out for a sport which bids fair to become an established sport at M.L Who of us will forget our first skiing party at Highland Park, with our tumbles and mix-ups and finally the excitement and thrill of knowing that we could take even a short hill without falling? It was due to the untiring efforts and the ready interest of Mr. Herman Mar- tin, who so kindly coached us, that the girls were taught the correct way to use their skiis and thus the art itself. Successive skiing parties were held at Highland and at South Parks. Spring came all too soon but with it we transferred our energy and enthusiasm to hiking. We shall long remember the Sunrise hike to Pinnacle Ridge where we cooked our breakfast over an open fire and afterwards returned home refreshed from our early morning jaunt. If you are sad or discouraged, my friend Come hike through the fields some day, And find on return to your home again. Your cares have all vanished away.

Accordingly, bowling made irs appearance at M,J. To any outsider our first practice would certainly have been a spectacle. Old Brick Church Institute witnessed much—bails dropping or rolling into gutters, people rushing up alleys and a few even falling flat. Improvement was compara- tively quick, however, and soon strikes and spares were a common occurrence. There were seven teams reporting for practice, each striving to win the highest score. We ended our season with a Bowling Banquet in the Rest Room where Elsie Sanford, head of bowling, Osee Reynolds and Alice Leete gave little speeches which were much enjoyed. Mrs. Meehan announced the winning team and the names of the five girls with the highest scores after a short, verv interesting talk. Bowling, this first year, was a big success and deserves to remain on our cal- endar of sports.

Yes, indeed! That is the sound of those tiny celluloid balls, and it was from this that the game received its name. Ping Pong, though old in America, is new at M. I, The hotly contested noon- day games speak for its popularity. The season was opened by an exhibition match between Mrs. Meehan and Miss Van Horn, The skill displayed by these two faculty spurred us on and soon several of the girls developed into second 'Molla’s. An open tournament was staged in February in which many of the girls competed. The matches were full of exciting moments and the popularity of the game grew, Elva Staud, the winner, downed many opponents. A ladder tournament” was the outcome of the open tourney, places being held by the winner, runner up and participants in the semi-finals. To gain a place on the ladder, it is necessary to challenge the person occupying the lowest rung. The winning one may challenge the rung next above. The present ladder reads: ist—Elva Sraud. ind—Osee Reynolds. }rd—Betty Young, qch—Marion Geil, A newf sport always arouses keen interest but the enthusiasm for the sport would suggest that Ping Pong has come to stay. We hope that it will become a regular indoor sport, having in every sense the meaning of a true school sport. Page one hundred sixteen THE RAMJKIN SWIMMING Splish! Splash! And then sputtering! All were madly dashing down the pool, arms and legs breaking up the peaceful stillness of the water. This was our first demonstration and meet held largely to educate and inter- est our new schoolmates. Strokes and dives for form had a place on the program and novelty races proved most amusing. A lighted candle was held high in the hand of each participant as she swam the length, often bidding fair to leave the pool in utter darkness. Whoever heard of an umbrella being carried over one s head while in swimming? Was it to keep them from getting wet, we wonder? At any rate some were proficient in holding said umbrella. Now you have it and now you don’t! It was just this situation in the egg and spoon race. Jauntily holding a spoon in the mouth with carefully poised egg the four contestants attempted to reach their goal. All too often balance was lacking and then amid shrieks of laughter from the balcony feet floundered in mid-air and sprightly forms groped around, six fecr down, for the elusive egg. With the fall season drawing to a close an upperc lass-underclass meet was held, with racing, plunge for distance, form swimming and diving. The com- petition was keen and close all the way through, the climax coming in the relay when, swimming neck and neck, the upperclassmen pulled ahead winning by inches. El Staud was the star of the meet, winning two firsts and a second while Connie Almy won highest honors for the frosh. The results of the meet were as follows: Strokes for form: Breast—(i)C. Almy, i) E. Stand, ($)E. Miller. Side Underarm—(ij M. Van Arman, (i)C. Almy, (3) 1. Muntz. Plunge for distance— (1) M. A, Dutton, (l) G. Groff, (3) G. McKay. Diving for form—(1) D. Landow, (Y) M.

Practices found the old reliables’' the ex-Sophomores or present Juniors, and a few other faithful followers wielding the stick with a mighty swing with more or less advantageous results. Under Mrs. Meehan s able tutelage we were whipped into shape. New and helpful rules were introduced, which convinced some of we old-timers chat there is something to he learned alwavs. The jerks and bumps of the Tunerville Trollcv could give no greater thrills than those experienced by the teams traveling de luxe via the Bus Line. The long suffering driver was continually threatened with the vociferous cheering, likewise lusty songs caroled forth bv the dainty crew. Just a word about the game: Originating in Great Britain, Field Hockey is enjoyed by both men and women, but not in mixed teams, nor in mixed competition. In the United States its activities are confined principally to girls' colleges and schools. Nearly all of the American women’s institutions of learning devote much time to the game In Philadelphia, for instance, there is an organized league of clubs whose members learned field hockey at college, and who keep tip their interest in the game much as do the women of Great Britain in their countv teams. We hope for an even greater response this term to the call of All Out! The final game between the Junior Home Ec. and the Upperclass team was won by the Juniors. Score, yi.

When the riding announcement was made at the beginning of the year, I heard so many frosh' say, “Oh, I’d love to ride but I don't know how, and I’d be scared to death to ride on a horse! But not two weeks later these same- people were first in line to buy their riding tickets. What fun it was to go trot- ting through Highland Park and finallv to gallop along the countryside on those crisp autumn days? And for the newcomers—how peculiarly one’s legs behaved after getting off the horse. One hurried to see if her legs were perma- nently bowed! and sofa cushions were furtively carried for all hard chairs. Each and every one has her favorite horse and what a real scramble there is to get to the stable for first come, first served. We had quite a list of regular rough riders last fall and as soon as the epidemic of spring fever breaks forth we shall begin to have our bi-weekly canters.

A. Dickinson Manager BASKETBALL Basketball is the major sport at Mechanics Institute. This year we played fourteen games, all of which we Lost with the exception of the last one. This has been partly due to the fact that we had a new team, all of the players being Freshmen. All of the last year’s team graduated and therefore it was necessary to build anew. The prospects for next year look very good, especially as the last games that were played were decided improvements over the preceding ones. We are, however, proud of our team, as they have made a name for themselves as clean and good sportsmen, and after all what matters most can be summed up in this maxim: It Mutters Not so Much that You Wm, or Lose, My Son, but How You Flaw' PTS. n, R, R L.

They hail begun early for everything, including the May Pole, must be in readiness for the arrival of the May Queen. She was their idol, Had they not chosen her from all the fair ladies of Hampton to rule over them for this day of days? Hark! The bugles the Queen! The Queen! Make way and she came. No lovelier May Queen had ever been seen, her beautiful face scattering sunshine on these, her people. She loved them and because of the honor they had bestowed upon her, she had prepared an unusual May Day for them. For no sooner were the May Pole dances over when the Queen herself announced the entertainers, and such novel ones, too, from countries far and near. A gypsy maiden danced up to the throne prettily, begging silver and gold. Hither and yon dancing in a wild fantastic way, she besought the villagers to give of their hordes. But all her pleadings were of no avail. Emptv handed and angry, she flew from their midst in a blaze of fury. Quite in contrast to this very noisy gypsy, was the entrancing Moment Musicalc. The beautiful dancers, whose grace and lithesomeness lent a feeling which blended in with this day of fun and frolic, seemed sister sprites to Ti- tania, Queen of the Fairies. Did you ever decide your fate with a Marguerite? “He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me.” Naught else mattered. The brook, as it wound along its way into nowhere, afforded great sport for one little girl, who amused herself by jumping over it and back again, always m rvthm with the rippling of its waters. The tantalizing butterfly, kissed by the golden sunbeams and swayed bv the soft zephyrs of May, led one vivacious lassie a merry chase. Over the meadows she followed him, seeking eagerly to clasp his fragile loveliness in her dimpled lingers. Once she fails and then, ah, success is hers for he is imprisoned in her fragrant palms. But, alas! her curiosity brings disaster for, while she tries to take one little peek, the fickle one eludes her and is gone. From the Celestial Kingdom came little Tso and her lover Cho Lee. They arc pursued by her cruel father, Wo Hoo Git, who frowns upon their love. In despair they seek to join their ancesters through the gates of death. But parental love conquers, and Wo Hoo Git gives Cho Lee the hand of Tso with his blessings. 1 he Bacchantes, spirits of youth, love and laughter, gave to the exhilarating May morning the gleam of precious amethysts as they danced over the green, charmed and fascinated bv the song of their rivals, the birds of the forests. The Water Carriers, each with an urn upon her shoulder, came to the Sylvan pool seeking water. Lilies were peeping up here and there among the lilv apds. The carriers, appreciating true beauty, admired and caressed the water lilies as they filled their urns. Rising they walked on, casting one last look towards the placid pool. BoPeep had lost her playfellow, little Boy Blue, and had nearly given up in despair, when lo, she found him under the haystack fast asleep. Tickled on the nose with a straw he stirred slight lv but was fully awakened bv a kiss on the cheek. He was up and ready to dance in a moment. THE R A MIKIN' Page nut hundred forty-ft vt MAY DAY—(Continued) The wee spirit of the rose garden, a dainty fairy, popped out of her hiding place to greet the Queen, The dewy roses, not to be surpassed, hastily crept forth from under their fragrant blankets and joined her in her joyful prancing. Then, tired with their unusual exertions, they hastened away to the soft bosom of the rose tree. The shadows grew longer and longer, the tired sun sought to hide his glittering face from the merry villagers. Flowerets drooped their sleepy heads, and lo, Evening, in her dusky mantle, quietly crept on, and bidding a sweet farewell to the day, settled gently over the drowsy merry- makers.

Freshmen, first of all, entering with dignity, two by two, resplendent in green ruffs and dark costumes. Their song leader, Gladys Lewis, was produced from a barrel, decorated in green. Sophomores in white aprons and accompanied by a Kitchen Band entered noisily, juniors with red and white balloons made their appearance, quietly preceded by a coffin containing their song leader, Elsie Sanford. Seniors, dignified and stately were most impressive in cap and gown. Songs! Such songs! Long, short, funny, serious and especially new Alma Maters. The judges, Miss Van Horne, Mrs. Meehan, and Miss Graeper, after considering the songs carefully, decided that the banner belonged to the Fresh- men. Their first triumph! It was well deserved coo, as we all agreed, for their songs and their spirit were certainly O. K. G. A. A. HOUSE PARTY To begin with wc were all in the mood and thanks to the Staud girls we ’ Partied’’ at their house on the lake. Our main sport was eating (we all performed neatly there). Perhaps Chid could tell you whether or not the steaks which wc devoured so ravenously were cooked to a turn! And Edythc Buller’s fudge! The inviting waves proved too tempting—a goodly number managing to dash in and out despite the water’s low temperature. The Camp Fire Sing was probably the most important pastime. Voices were raised in harmony and discord to the usual uncertain accompaniment of banjo-ukes. A fishv game of sardines held sway until we grew tired of kicking and being kicked in the darkness. Many weary heads sought their pillows that night but the following morning found them ready to make a day of it. After a break- fast of oranges, hot rolls, omelet, fried cakes and coffee wc walked miles up the beach just to cultivate an appetite for luncheon! As all good things do, this delightful week-end passed all too soon. Before we realized it we were bumping along on the Manitou Trolley for home and for skirts. Page one hundred forty-eight THE RAMIKIN G. A. A. BANQUET The Annual G.A.A. Banquet! the biggest, the most thrilling and interesting event in our school year, where the girls turn out in a body and where the various classes fairly outdo themselves in song and verse. It is here that we see and really appreciate the spirit, the true comradeship and the loyalty of the A , A. members. Of course we all enjoyed the banquet and the songs but the real interest of the evening was found in the speakers. Marian Tuttle as toascmistress was dignity and poise personified and the girls from the various classes also held our interest and attention throughout. The main interests of the evening were Mrs Meehan, without whom no A.A activity could ever he complete, and the Rev. Clinton Wunder, who spoke on ' Education ' Ir was truly an event worth going to, with something there which we could take away and remember. May our A.A. banquets ever be an inspiration and a consummation of our efforts in the years to come. G. A. A. TEAS New activities which we initiated this year were our teas at Christmas and Easter. In the time of holly and mistletoe, of gladness and rejoicing, it seemed fitting to get together to hear the good old Christmas Carols sung exquisitely by a group of the girls. Louder and louder they grew in volume as the line of figures with candles advanced, then fainter and fainter as they withdrew until all again was still. Alice Jay was a fitting sequel with some violin selections. Bevier Living Room with holly, red and green cakes, candles, Ida Stand and Gladys Colcord pouring, frosted window-panes and the Christmas Spirit a bright spot in the background of our memories. just before Easter we had a second tea, quite different from the first. It was held in the Practice House on April the seventh. Several of the Council members were in the house at the time which helped to give the tea a most informal atmosphere. Miss Wecmore, from the Eastman School of Music, delighted us with some harp selections. Such chattering and laughing! Such light heartedness! 1 wonder if the coming Easter vacation had anything to do with it!

The Home Economies Department of Mechanics Institute in the spring of 192.1 began this type of instruction in the house at 36 South Washington Street, which had undergone extensive repairs and changes to adapt it to use as a Practice House. Of severe old Colonial type, the house offers interesting possibilities for interior treatment. The rooms are large and sunny with Colonial hallway, deep casement windows, and heavily paneled woodwork. Numerous fireplaces and quaint low-cei linged rooms lend atmosphere of a half century ago to an other- wise exceedingly modern home. The usual living rooms, an office and a separate apartment, occupy the first floor with bedrooms, two baths, and a linen press on the second floor. An elec- trical lv equipped laundrv, drying room, storage rooms for foodstuffs and trunk room are found on the ground floor. The kitchen is small, built on the unit plan, and carefully planned to save both unnecessary steps and motion. Equipment is simple but includes most of the most approved labor-saving devices. The house is heated with steam from the power plant at the Institution. Not hoping to reproduce home experiences exactly the Practice House does aim to prepare for such experiences. The knowledge and skill obtained in laboratory and class room must be applied in a practical way, and a girl's ability to direct, co-operate, and handle unexpected situations can be fairly judged and developed. The Practice House does not in any way replace the laboratory work but furnishes the acid test, Two lines of work have been carried on in the Institute Practice House this year. During the Pall term short intensive courses were given groups of girls resident for six weeks. All instruction was given in the Practice House where girls of various experience and training maintained their home- planning, marketing, cooking, keeping accounts and performing the multifarious duties of real housewives. Much interest was evident in this type of course, which resulted from frequent requests for intensive training from girls who did not desire to engage in long periods of classroom work. For the spring term the House belongs to the Junior Teacher Training Girls, who have come to fed that is their very vital possession. For it stands for so much that a college girl holds dear comradeship, ideal living, and above all, a lasting training in usefulness. I11 the delightful home atmosphere for which we hotel Miss Pleasants, our resident instructor, so responsible, the girls have been able to more fully appreciate the finer things the things which make- life enjoyable and beautiful. THE KAMI KIN Piigt one hundred fifty-three DORMITORY GROUP DORMITORY GOSSIP Time- 1955. Aw, gee, Kay, I'm sick of playin’ train and zoo an' everything. Let’s do somethin’ else, this rain gets my goat anyway. Ha, Ha! Look at what I found, a book with funny pictures. Let’s ask mother to read to us. With this the two prominent members of the Clark family dashed eagerly to their mother, lugging after them what seemed to them to be the year’s funny papers all in one. Mother, read us this crazy book with this funny looking girl with why, mother, short hair like mine and dresses pret’ near as high , Why, darling! where did you get this? Why this is your mother when she was a young girl and went to Mechanics Institute to school. Here is the dormi- tory where we lived—what a host of memories that brings back. Here are my old roommates- Peg O’Shea, Bee Heaman and Harriet Guilford; how changed they are now. Peg taught school a year hut is now married and happy; Harriet is our Representative in Congress you know; she always was on every committee and council in school so she has had good training. Bee was always jogging away in a Ford with a friend and now they are riding Life’s road together. Mother, what is this funny little auto with a sign on the back? Oh, why, that is the car Martha Hakes drove off in, and chat is the Just married sign you see there. Here is a picture of some of her friends; this is Marian McCarthy, who was never too tired to play a joke on Margaret Powers, this girl next to her. We could always see Marian's future sparkling in her dia- mond and now chat future is true. Margaret and this girl, Cornelia Jones, have a little dress shop now. Cornie designs and Margaret makes; it is very exclusive and only the very wealthv can afford a Powcrs-Jones dress. The others in the picture are Olive Sutlin and Elizabeth McLaren; they also are in business and arc running in friendly competition to Margaret and Cornie. Here is Kath- ervn Hanbv leaving for college, loaded down with books. How she did work! But she is being rewarded now. I hear she is considered one of the best teachers in the state. Before and after. Before and after what, mother? Before and after dieting, dear, that is Erma Keenan, who was always trying so hard to get thin. She has been so prosperous m her tea room I wonder which picture she looks like now. This is a picture of two loving chums, Ginny Lander and Lucille Stewart; thev always came singing down the steps arms entwined. They still make frequent visits back and forth Ginny is in Canada and Lucille is living in Watcrburv, Conn. Oh, look mother, what are these people doing; what are they looking through? This was the time of the eclipse and these are Ruth Damon, Harriet Lowcn and Mary Patterson looking through their pieces of smoked glass. Mary Patter- son has charge of a large cafeteria now and Ruth and Harriet arc both in hospi- tals as dieticians. THE RAMJKIN Pugt out hundred fifty-five DOR M I TOR Y GOSSI P-(Continued) Here are some funny pictures! How Jong ago this seems now. These arc the pictures we took on one of the G.A.A. house parties. Here is Edy Buller and El Foss in their comic bathing suits, and Lois Gordinier and Betty Young on the teeter-totter seeming to be enjoying it. i saw Betty the other day driving a handsome big car, and she was wearing a white satin dress which was lovely. When Lois takes a trip she only has to jump into her high powered aeroplane and fly off. Edy is matron of the day nursery in Columbus and El is traveling with the Chautauqua celling stories to children. Florence Irwin is with her; she teaches basketry during intermission ' Did you go roller skating when you went to school, mother? Yes, indeed, this is Jerry McCarthy; the skates left her one time and she rode a wavs on her arm, which wasn't any too good for it. What are these girls doing with their mouths so wide open? June Card and Helen Rutt were always singing, Tell-el me whv-i and so one day they posed for me while singing. June is living out in Ann Arbor now and Rutt is singing alto in the Follies. This is Fran Bowen, June's roommate; how she liked letters every morning even if they were Bill's; she must save a lot of time now not having to look for her male. Oh, look at the pretty hair; was it really that long? Mv yes, so long that when Helen Arend tried to buy a hat, the clerks about decided to leave; she is living down in Panama now so perhaps she doesn't have so much trouble. This is Helen Alpaugh and Gladys Klipple. Helen never would answer the floor phone and it was for her most every time. Now, she operates a switch- board so it is more convenient. Gladys Klipple is now the buyer for a large New York store so her years at MX were well worth while. Oh, look at the cute little puppy; was it yours? No, that is Bertha Atwater’s dog; she went home one night because she thought it was going to be sold. I just saw Bertha the other day; she was buy- ing a switch for her hair, it is so chin. This is the dorm again; up in the second story window you can see Ruth Teasdale, Iva Richardson, Kay Lewis, Janet Tafumo and Dot Cassidy. It is a wonder some one didn't fall out but they man- aged to stay in. Dot is in the interior decorating department of Marshall Field 's and Janet flits between here and Europe so often one never knows just where she is. Iva is singing in Carmen and Ruth is a teacher at Sargent Physical Ed. School Oh, yes! Kav is busy designing skyscrapers for Rochester. This is Marian Chidsev with the dorm rules in her hand. No one in school knew them better than Chid so she always helped everyone out. She is living near Rochester now Fairport, I believe. You would have loved this dark-eved girl, Orilla Wright; she could do everything from talking through her nose to walking like an ape. 1 wonder if she still performs to amuse her children. Here she is again with her roommate, Sallie Mctzgar; what a time she had one week-end during her Junior year ar- ranging her callers so they wouldn't both come at once. She doesn't worry though now that she is the wife of Profes or Don at Dartmouth. Page one hundred fifty-six THE RAMI KIN DORMITORY GOSSIP -(Continue,'} When this picture was taken Imogene Marks and Grace Marr were Fresh- men. Imogene left Grace a whole week early that Easter vacation because of a certain person at home, but that was a small matter compared to the organs Grace told about. Grace is a saleswoman for her father now and is doing won- derfully well, Imogene goes home early still, blit now to get the dinner ready on time. “And what has happened to these girls, mother; arc they still at schools Dear, no! Let's see, there is Irene Gr-amp, Marian Walrath, Gladys Lewis and Ruth Rower; they all went to White Plains the year after this was taken. Gladys didn’t stay long, 1 guess, hut changed for more good times and then got married, Ruth went on the stage, dancing was much more in her line; Irene is head of the Occupational Therapy Association; she certainly has done well. Marion alone stays to uphold the standard of Mechanics, What are these three girls, mother? This is a picture of Julia Booth, Marie Crowley and Helen Swett. We didn't see much of Julia; she, coo, liked Ford Coupes. Marie's ambition was to stay out later than nine and get away with it. Of course Julia's career with the Ford ended as so many others did, and Marie went 'Back on the farm’ to stay but a short time, Helen has a shop of her own in Buffalo. What nice fur coats; did you know these girls, too? Yes, that is Florence Hamilton and Mary Carroll. They gave a tea one after- noon which was quite a novel affair, Mary is the tennis champion of Elmira and Florence is still going to every dance that is given. And here arc Mary Belcher, Grace Harwood and Janet Weir. This picture is not really complete; there should he three men in it, too, Marv is head dietitian at the Infant Sum- mer Home, Grace Harwood, of course, is married, and Janet s name appears in the paper often as she gives so many card parties. And this is our pianist, how Bctiv Rartlcv could play! Mo wonder the living room floor got chin. She plays in concert and is a great success. Here is a large group, but they were always together: Margarete Edwards, Henricta French, Grace Walsh, Maude Locke, Sallic Fox, Bessie Washburn, and Alice Bahrenhurg. Maude, Sal lie, Bessie and Alice still room together as they all work in the same city; Grace finally decided on ‘which one , Margarete and Henrietta argue things our in letters—f wonder if Henrietta still loses things? And here is Marian Tuttle; she was noted for her good-looking callers, hut toward the end one dominated the others and now Marian is kept well versed in law. What are these girls doing, mother? That is Evelyn Quigley and this is Geneva Watson ; they are salting potatoes. Geneva is working in a cafeteria and Evelyn is seen driving about in Mew York a lot. Was some one hurt here? Yes, Mary Alice Roberts had her face hurt and wore a black eye for some time. Last 1 heard of her she was abroad. This is Dorothy Barringer, who roomed with her, she is in a private school now. THE RAMJKIN Page otic hundred fifty-seven DORMITORY GOSSIP-(Continucd) Here is a peppy bunch, always going on hikes and skiing parties. Gladys Cook, Alice Leete, Helen Flinn, Laura Kinney and Gladys Col cord. The two Gladys’s had a double wedding the year they graduated. Helen is a grass widow and is an agent for some Get thin quick’ powder. Laura is kept busy designing, people come from all over for just one small design of hers. Alice was dean of women in a school but gave it up to join Mack Sennet t's bathing beauties. Marian Cyner and Dot Lee always got hungry just before nine. Marian is married but far from settled down- and Dot Lee is busv sewing, making clever looking dresses as usual. Mary Clark and Alberta Fortner, the two insep- arable Freshmen, even after school days they kept together, as they both teach in the city. This is Olive Klaus doing her Spanish dance; I saw in a Cleveland paper where the institution where she works gave a program for charity and Olive gave her dance. We are nearing the end now: here is Betty Waldron, Helen Wolverton and Mildred Monan. Betty is in Boston; we wonder if Bill is there, too; Helen is managing a tea room and Mildred is married. This is Christine Roberson, who ran the elevator and May belle Stohr, who had a sore foot. We often wondered why Chris stayed here at the dorm during vacations but shortly after school found out the reason. Maybelle we all thought didn't wait until the end of school to jump off.’ And here is Ruth Preshley, pounding the keys of her typewriter; she writes short stories now as a pastime—you poor little kiddies; here it is 'way past your nap time and both are sound asleep. Some day you will know how dear school memories are. Pagt one ft un dr td fifty’tight THE RAMTKIN THE CARNIVAL This hir of space has been reserved for the talc of the fall frolic, namely. The Carnival. This little mixture of vaudeville, playlets, circus stunts and the like, serves as a tonic to be taken annually for the benefit of the students' treasury. So it was that on Friday evening, November 2.1, the student body devoured a large quantity of mystery, including everything from fire eating to a high diving act, pur on by various organizations of the school. This jumble continued until 10 P. M., when the center of interest was shifted to a dance in Bevier Hall. Here the crowd swayed ro the gentle strains of seduc- tive music until 11 o’clock. Thus ended a very enjoyable evening. PAY DAY Pay Day is the annual picnic that is given by the students every year in the spring. It has been an annual event for quite a number of years and last year was held at Durand Eastman Park. It was felt some years ago that there should be some kind of social event that every student of the school could participate in, near the end of the year, and the memory of which they could carry with them when they left. In order to bring this about it was decided that a picnic would probably serve rhe 'purpose1 better than anything else. In order that everyone could enjoy it, the faculty cooperated with the student council and set aside a day for this purpose, and the student council paid for it our of the treasury. On account of the nature of the event, it was suggested that it be called Pay Day.” Heretofore this day has been given over largely to athletic events, but this time it was decided to choose games and sports tor the day, of such a nature that every one could participate, and thus make of it a truly student picnic. In this the commit tee was very successful and a number of stunts and games were played. Among these were: A cigarette smoking contest, in which couples were entered, the girls being required to race to where the men were lined up and light the cigarette. The- one who had the shortest butt at the end of the alotted time was declared the winner. A feature of this game was that the cigarettes were all filled with rubber, though none of the contestants suspected it. Other events were: a wheel barrow race, a ball throwing contest for girls, a balloon blowing contest, and a good ball game girls versus men. The men were handicapped by having the use of only their left hand. Chartered cars took the students to and from the park. One of the best things about the whole affair was the lunch, prepared bv the students of the Domestic Science Department. It was well pur up, and very well chosen as to variety and quality. It is needless to say that everyone went home happy, due in large part to the efforts of the committee.
