THE RAMIKIN FOR 1926 PRESENTED BY THE SENIOR CLASS MECHANICS INSTITUTE Foreword Within the pages of this, the Fifteenth Volume of The Ramtk n, we have enclosed the spirit of our Alma Mater. As the weeks have gone by we have experienced sometimes joy, sometimes success, sometimes failure, but always we have felt the thrill of adventure. The spirit of Mechanics Insti- tute lives not only within this book, but also in the hearts of those who have lived through this happy year with us. But if those who have shared this privilege of work and love within her walls by chance recall that happy life, mingled with tender memories of friendly understanding, we who have toiled will rest content that though we might not reach the goal, yet we have blazed a little farther the trail for Old Mechanics Institute. 7 To Mr. Herman Martin, whose loyalty, sincerity and h el pfu 1 n e s s h ave been a n i n - spiration to the student body, we dedicate this vol- ume. The Class of 192-6, 3 9 The Institute HE object of this institute shall be to promote such practic.il education as may enable those persons re- caving instruction to be better fitted for their occupa- tions in life.” This was a statement of the constitution 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 Bcvtcr; 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 Economics, is a dwelling on South Washington Street which lias 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 resident Halt for non-resident girls. The Institute has an enrollment of fully two thousand and with the remarkable expansion it has made, its founders' hopes have become realities. II IX Girls' Dormitory 3 4 Board of Directors Carl F.

IVe rise in gratitude to thee, for su cet the message thou has taught, A message crowned with love and power. Resplendent through thy service wrought. Thy noble founders heard the cry. That surges through the world today. Their dauntless spirit sends us forth. That we their precepts may obey. History of the Class of 26 Oniv it few short years ago a motley crew of freshmen arrived at the “Institute AJ! the town papers for miles around were heralding the departure of Air. What' s-bis-namt from Ptduttk or Miss Who-d-ye-catl-'er from Greenwich to take up his or her studies at Mechanics Institution. Always called Institu- tion by the village reporters. Now don’t misunderstand me- these infants in all their unsophisticated ignorance were entering an ”Institution of learning. Their learning began the first week when rhe upper-classmen took them in hand. Hazing was the only thing that saved many of the poor children from nostalgia, while on the other hand it was the only thing that made others homesick. Green was the most popular and becoming color among fresh for that one week- , but we noticed that the reaction to the color was rapid and the class of ’16 perked up quickly. The Faculty reception was the first social event of any great importance that the frosh were allowed to attend in their usual habili- ments. What a change that one week had made in the children! They grew rapidly from that time to the Soph or ”Junior stages which they naturally imagined to he maturity. Not all of us were privileged to become Sophs'' (can't you hear the rest of the class repeat privileged '). But those of us who were Sophs need no detailed account of that year to recall tt vividly. Its memories are everlasting. Juniors! Well, you can just bet we were the most intelligent, the most ath- letic. the most social, the most superlative class who ever attained rhe exalted Junior station. The junior Prom was our crowning glory!! Where was it? Can it be possible that you have forgocrcn that festival of music and dancing in the Seneca Ball Room'? Why everybody in the school (who was anybody, said the Juniors; was there, Yes! the mighty Seniors, the battling Sophs and the grovel- ing Frosh! All were there!---but above all those paragons called Juniors. Realize if vou can how super snob gob ton s' it was to have the whole program “broadcast —and that when radio was in its youth! Why, friends, it was the “Junior class of '15 w ho put “Mechanics Institute” on the map! Alter several years of hard struggles, fought and won, we have at last reached chat long coveted position—we arc the “Seniors of Mechanics institute. As we look back over those first years we can laugh heartily at our obviously funny mistakes which were then great tragedies in our young lives. We can re-live those delightful dances, the laughter provoking Carnivals, the gracious dignity of rhe Faculty receptions and all the other enjoyable times of our school life and forget the stupid or dull moments and studies we thought irksome, We can look forward to the future with the clear vision of undaunted youth on its initial voyage upon the ocean of hie. For what can give the inspiration to accomplishment if education cannot? Our inspiration has come from our Alma Mater and to her we are grateful for everything she has given us from her great wealth of knowledge and experience. Our own contribution has been meager hut in the future we hope that it will be possible for us to repay in some measure the great debt we owe our Alma Mater, Senior Officers Salli e Metzgar Secretary VIRGINIA ANN ARNOLD, A O Rochester, N.

Out of the countless schools everywhere they sought the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute as the one school in which to prepare themselves for their aim in life. The surroundings were strange, the people were strange and stranger still were their futures, In their minds dwelt anxiety for they were eager to know what their fate would be at the hands of the upperclassmen. Finally they were called to Assembly and the freshmen rules read to them. In a very few days the men were seen about school with red ribbons tied about the knee while some had pajamas on, Those who resisted the upperclass- men had the rather doubtful pleasure of walking in to school from far out in the country. While this was going on the freshmen girls were also undergoing hardships and appeared in the corridors in most unusual costumes. Soon after the freshmen class assembled and elected officers. As the year wore on things happened rapidly, the underclassmen joined the upper in helping to make school events a success. Some of the men made fine basketball material while the girls chose their sports from the many of the Institute. The biggest joy in the lives of the present freshmen class will be to initiate the incoming freshmen next year.

Morccock Calvin Thomason Ailing M- Clements The annals of the Chi Delta Phi fraternity date back to 1914 when the Delta Delta Society was organized, A year later the name was changed to Chi Phi, and in 1910 it was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York as the Chi Delta Phi fraternity. The school year w hich is about to close finds the organ- ization with the largest and most active membership in its history. The Chi Delta Phi inaugurated the 1915-2.6 social year with a very successful and enjoyable dance in Bevicr Hall and followed throughout the year with dinner meetings once a month. These meetings helped to bring back the alumni members and to rejuvenate their dormant spirit, A dinner dance at the Powers Hotel was the crowning event of the Fraternity's social calendar. This dance was attempted on a scale hitherto unparalleled and was a huge success in every respect. The great ball room of the hotel was taste- fully decorated for the occasion and the dance was an event well worth remem- bering. Not only have theClii Delts been leaders in the school's social activities during the past year but have at the same time upheld the society’s prestige in athletics as well as every branch of school activities. The following brothers played prominent parts in the success of the 1915-16 basketball season; (.apt. Murray Baltzel.

It was founded in 1901, with six charter members, while at present there are twenty-two active members, as well as a very large active alumni. The aim of the fraternity has been in the past, and will continue to be in the future, to put forth an excellent scholastic standard, and to establish and main- tain the prestige of the school. Besides having a very successful social season, we have held the scholastic cup won by competitive scholastic standings among the three fraternities of the Institute. We have held this cup for the past two years and arc looking forward to holding it the third successive year ending with the Mardi Gras, which is held March 14th. This year being the 'Twenty-fifth Anniversary,” the fraternity hopes to have a banquet, which is to be held in May, to commemorate the occasion of its birth in 1901. ro4 Chi Eps Founded at Mechanics Institute 1911 Colors—Bhu and Gold, Flower—White Rose.

GcssclJ C. F. Phillips Harvey Kennedy Chi Epsilon Phi was founded in December, 192.1. Its membership was, pre- vious to 1924� limited to Electrical and Chemical students. The constitution, in 1924, was amended to include all men students of the Institute, who were found to be eligible. The year 192.5 found our organization in excellent physical condition and ready to do big things. AM our members of the previous year had been active in athletics and all the general activities of the Institute, The social events of the Fraternity have included dances in Bevier Hall, to which the school was invited, There have been many closed “Bowlers, Smokers, Boxing Matches, and Swimming Parties, which the Brothers alone have enjoyed, and which have provided many incidents which will long be remembered. This year we have added many new Brothers to our number, who have already demonstrated rheir ability in various lines of school activities and the Frater- nity looks forward next year to bigger and better things. We will lose a great many Brothers by graduation. They have brought the Fraternity up to its present standard of excellence, and now we relv upon the remaining Brothers to push ahead next year. It is our aim to promote the activities of the Institute and general friendliness among the students. ,05 io8 Clark Pick ell President Students Council The Students' Council governs .ill activities in the student body.

C, A. organization in any schoot, in any nation, stands for the highest ideals of sisterhood and service. The program of our M. L Chapter has been guided by these principles since its birth in i Z). Thus the cabinet for 1915-2.6 began its work:. With co-operation from our old members the new girls were welcomed and ere tong presented with a big sister. In the Fall a Get-Acquainted Party was held in Bevicr Building at which time the new giris learned to know each other and began to find our Who's Who among the old girls. The Y. W C A. sent members from each class to the World Court Conference held at the University of Rochester in November Visiting members from other schools and colleges were entertained for the week-end at the Practice House and Dormitory where ideas and the working plans of different organizations were exchanged. On December ind the Annual Bazaar was held in the Assembly Hall. Food, candy, clothing, fancy work. Christmas cards and Japanese articles were artistically displayed bv girls costumed in colonial gowns. Sixty dollars was cleared on the Bazaar, much of which is being used in social service work in the city. It was a pleasure to those who could view the happiness and joy which the Christmas baskets, filled with food, toys and clothing brought to the ten very poor families to whom they were delivered. Plans for the remainder of the school year include a May Day Breakfast, Sunday afternoon Get-Togethers with interesting speakers, and the Senior Tea. Plans are already underway for delegates to go to Silver Bay and Northfidd and we arc hoping to swell our quota this year. ”3 World Court Conference Representatives from 2.50 institutions of higher learning in the United States met at Princeton on December nth and nth for a National Collegiate World Court Conference which seems to have accomplished three things; 1, It has interested men and women in college activities and made them fed that the students are concerned in political and economic questions. 1. The colleges went on record as favoring adherence to the World Court. 3. The conference went on record as favoring the establishment of a National Federation of Students of America. The second annual meeting will be held at the University of Michigan next Fall. The American Students have a great opportunity to become a powerful factor in the educational and political life of the nation. Marion Chidsey, Representative from Mechanics. Silver Bay The Silver Bay Club is a comparatively new organization here. It was organized late in 192.4 for the purpose of carrying out the ideals of Silver Bay in school life. In June of each year members of the school are sent to the College Y. W. C„ A. Conference held at Silver Bay-on-Lakc-Gcorge. Through the inspiration of chose who have attended the Conference, the club has increased in numbers and interest each succeeding year. The M. I. Radio Club Raymond H. Lucia S Ben James W, Knapp (8-AFQ) Byron B. North (8-DSS) Ivan H Lqucks President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer The M, I, Radio Club was organized in 1914 with L II Loucks ( 2.6) as President. A room was secured or a Radio Room and a station license was also secured at this time- Unfortunately, it was found impractical to transmit on short waves from that room. In September, 1915, the club reorganized with its present officers and secured another room, this one on the roof of the Eastman Building, for their station. An appropriation was also secured from the school toward the construction of the transmitter, which is being installed as fast as possible. In the near future wc expect to hear Station S-ABO on the air, with both code and voice, on eighty meters and perhaps later on all Amateur Wave Lengths. The club is also being equipped with apparatus for all kinds of meas- urements in Radio work which will make it of more value to our Alma Mater and to its members. Louise Marion President The Art League The Art League resumed its activity as usual in September with an “At Home” and in October had a Masquerade which really was quite a success. Don Perry was first elected president, and later Louise Mason. Christmas brought its usual party with Mr. Horn as Santa Claus, and everyone enjoyed it immensely. Fortuna rely, Mr. Bond is a very active member and we have much enjoyed his readings. The Parisian Dance given in Bevier on March i6th was the social event of the year and much enthusiasm for its success was shown by the students. But having a good time is not the mam thought in the minds of the Art League members. The League conducts a sketch class every' Tuesday with stu- dents posing right, and every once in a while prizes arc awarded in a competi- tion for the best sketches done outside of class. Also a movement for dramatics has aroused interest as it did several years ago when “Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp” was given under the direction of Mr. Bond. He is again largely responsible for the successful production of the Rubaiyat, The settings, costumes, and the lighting were executed by the League members and were quite unusual The composition and color was exquisite and everyone feels that this is the beginning here of great success in dramatics, and we hope in the future to produce many things individual and delightfully artistic. The Henry Lornh Society The Henry Lomb Sociecy. established in 1916 and named for the founder of Mechanics Institute, is an Honorary Society whose purpose is the appreciation and encouragement of the highesr type of citizenship exemplified by Captain Lomb. Seniors arc elected to membership on the basis of scholarship, personality, and interest in school affairs. OFFICERS FOR 1915-191.6 Mr. Alfred A.

Re- hearsals were planned for every Tuesday evening, the last Tuesday of every month to be known as social evening. After considerable rehearsals on special numbers the club gave its first appear- ance at an Assembly of the Student Body on Friday, January 2.9, 192.6, and ap- Feared again at a joint meeting of the Electrical and Mechanical Associations ebruary 4, 1316. The Club will he heard over radio shortly and has several engagements in the spring. 119 Ilo C. W. Powers Prtsiforft M. I. A. A. The Architectural Association organised for the year with the following officers: C, W. Powers, President, L, Hill, Vi ce-Pres i dent ;J; Seeley, Secretary, R. Moore, Treasurer; J. Maguire, Executive Officer. G. Smith was appointed Librarian for the year and several architectural periodicals were subscribed to. The members assembled May seventh at the Old Homestead, near Newport, for the first annual banquet, The guests were Honorary Members, Mr. Rohackct, Mr. UJp and Mr. Horn, Baseball and other sports were indulged in during the afternoon, A chicken supper in the evening was followed by cards and music. The M. I. A. A. baseball team accepted a challenge from the Engineers and defeated them easily, twenty-one to nine, in an exciting gat me at South Park. George Smith pitched for the winners and deserves much credit for the victory. The first activity of the Fall term was a lively dance in beautifully decorated Revier Hall oil October sixteenth, This dance was a success, as all M. !. A. A. dances arc, and a nice profit was made. Ten days after returning from Thanksgiving Recess, a luncheon was served in the Rest Room in the Eastman Building. Messrs. Bohacket, Brew and Wren- rich wereguests. Food, talk and music was thoroughly enjoyed. The next effort at entertaining was the Annual Carnival Dance February eighteenth in fievier. No stags were admitted and owing to a delay in securing a piano, the dance was late getting started but in spite of that, the hall was well filled with a festival-spirited crowd. The party lasted until one o'clock and everyone enjoyed himself, including rhe chaperones. This year the Association is having its biggest year. Twenty-live members make up the largest roll in its history. This is also the most prosperous year the Association has had. At present rhe members are forming a srrong baseball club in anticipation of a hard season, A smoker at which some well-known architect will talk, is being planned for the near future, Every member is looking eagerly forward to the next annual banquet, although the date and place have not been decided yet. in Leavin' Mechanics When I was at Mechanics Working in the shops. It never seemed to matter If there were many hops. While 1 was at Mechanics Going to Bevier, Dreams were coming true, And success was near. When I was at Mechanics Sweet hopes ran SO high It never seemed to matter If clouds were in the sky. —Florence Wheeler iil I ii4 Basketball 1 me 1915-1916 basketball season was as successful as any season enjoyed by an Institute team in the past several years. Out of a total of 15 games 8 were lost and 7 won. The two outstanding victories were over our old rivals, R. S. O , with whom athletic relations were rc-cstablishcd this year. Much credit is due to Coach McKay for the improvement of the team. Much credit is also due to Captain Murray and the rest of M. I. players. At the annual tntcr-Fratcrnal Mardi Gras the Alumni were defeated 41-19. The Letter men for the year are Knapp, Murray, Whitburnc, Baltzcl, Captain- elect Punnect, Dean. Kramer. INDIVIDUAL SCORING F.

Much could be said about the last game of the season. It is readily conceded by all who saw the game, that there has not, in rhe history of Mechanics Insti- tute, been a cleaner, more thrilling game played by any of her court teams. We wish to congratulate Chi Delta Phi on their win in the sixth extra time period. It is quite without question that our tossers gave the other fraternities something to worry about in the Mardi Gras championship race. With the material on hand it is hoped and believed that a successful season will belong to Chi Epsilon Phi next year. =■7 Prom Blur of chaperons' faces In a quiet corner.....

Organisation Our Girls’ Athletic Association comprised of all the girls at Mechanics Institute was organized in 1911, Since then its purpose has always been to promote friend- liness first of all. team play and good sportsmanship, to help all its members to a greater feeling of comradeship with the rest of the school, lastly, to form a basis for enduring friendships in those days when our school life will be but a memory. 131 Calendar September it—Freshman Party. 16—Council took Freshmen on hike.

L and in the Fail it is of major interest to the many who love the out-of-doors. To add to the thrill of the run up the field, the sound of ‘‘Ground sticks ground” and the rush toward the goal, is the glorious rough ride” in a truck engaged to carry the teams back and forth. Were there ever worse trials than the attempt to make that high jump inco the truck? Margaret Ann was always there ro;help, though, even if sometimes she did play a few tricks. Then on with the shin guards and off. Once there was a break in an exciting game when someone lost a high heel that she insisted upon wearing but never again! Hockey is worthy the most sensible of costumes. Everyone is anxiously hoping rhat the Spring weather will arrive in time enough to permit a few more hits at the ball and co give us a chance to sing our “Spring” song in its proper season! The following made class teams: Alice Bahrenburg Marion Gill Matilda Slack Varsity Team; Alice Bahrenburg irgi Chi Louise Mason Elva Siaud Elva Staud Margarer Ann Dutton Irene Sergeam Madalcine Wjsharc Madaleine Wisharr G3 «34 35 Captain Ball Is it popular? Well, you fuse bet it isf You wane proof? Ail right, here it isf When captain ball was in its second year, having been introduced in 1911, there were forty-five girls out for it, but at present there are more than fifty girls playing, and the grand total of six teams. Captain ball is indeed a popular sport, not merely because tt is fun to play, but also because of the splendid physical benefits derived from it. Captain ball also helps in a social way to bring the girls together, for there are always refreshments served after regular games, and the girls all remain and have some jolly chats together. As for the excitement end of it—there ain't nothing but! If you arc at ail familiar with our gym and its rather profuse scattering of posts, then you will realize the excitement there is, with the girls all playing like whirlwinds and in some miraculous way evading all these obstructions. Oh, indeed, it is a sport well followed because of its ubim, wigor and wttaiity and we of the G A .A, hail captain hall as our biggest, most popular sport. Our varsity team is composed of the following: Gertrude Berten Marian Chidscy Norma Davy Marian Gel I Doris Lyons Sally Metzgar Dorothy Slade Elva Staud Ida Staud Betty Young Asec Reynolds Hermi a Hal lower 136 Swimming The first event of swimming was a meet held early in the school. This meet was held to arouse the interest of the girls and to acquaint the newcomers with the various events. There were events for all, good, bad and indifferent swimmers. Strokes and dives for form had a place on the program and the novelty relav race proved most amusing. There was a tense moment for the under-classmen when the first of their side dropped the egg from the spoon and was unable to find it for a while. And even with this drawback the under-classmcn were close seconds. The under-classmen won this first meet, For individual scores Mina Dove had first place, Constance AJmy second, and Eiva Staud third. A challenge meet between the upper and under-classmen took place early in March. The program was much the same as the first excepting the novelty race was omitted. The upper classmen were gloriously victorious with the score 17 to 8- The results were as follows; 50-yard dash—(1) E, Staud; (Y) M. Dove; (3) E, Clecland. Strokes for form (1) I. Muntz, (z) E. Staud. (3} M. Gel!, 50-yard back race— (1) E. Staud; (Y) I- Muntz, (3) K. Staud. Plunge for distance—(1) M. A. Dutton; (Y)'M. Dove;(3) M. Gcll. Dive—(1) M. A. Dutton £2.) M. Gcll, 3) M. Dove. f37 Riding Just mention riding to any of the A A. girls then note the instant smile of de- light and the ready query. When do we go? Selling tickets was easy, and why not, when the generosity of the A.A. de- frayed half the expense of each rider's ticket. Jogging our to the Armory on a Monroe Avenue trolley served as an intro- ductory measure to our afternoon's ride, which occasionally consisted of haps and mishaps —more often the former. Only after the first two times out was stiffness suffered as a result of our stren- uous though highly enjoyable efforts- Oftentimes, J know, Miss Proper, our able instructress, was wont to sympathize with the poor animals—dumb or otherwise. Varied reasons and aromas forced us horsewomen to cat in the little alley just off rhe main dining room. Many a merry moment and extra dessert was stolen down there. We gave a Demonstration just after the mid-terms, even though some wished it to be before, the value of broken necks being considerably lower at that time. Tests arc being passed now to gain points and we arc all set for a rushing business this Spring. 139 i4o Bowling Bowling is now in its second y ear as one of our main sports. Many of last year's bowlers were so enthusiastic that they played again this year and we had six complete teams with strong competition. At the first of the season we feared for our lives and those of the pin boys as balls were hurled down the ultevs and gutters at a terrific speed Manv of the balls never reached the alleys as they were dropped too near our feet for comfort. When wc graduated from grammar school wc thought we knew the last thing in adding and counting, but bowling proved to many of us chat wc don’t know much about it. Bowling only lasts six weeks but enthusiasm runs high during this time. There is nothing guaranteed to make one more disgusted than to twist the wrist and not even knock down one pin, bur. Oh, the shouting when anyone has the luck (?) to make a strike. No one denies that this is one of the most enjoyable of our sports. M Hiking Yes, there'll be a hike on Saturday. Sign up, girls, so well have plcnry of cats for every one Will we ever forget that first hike up the river last Fall when Jelly led the freshmen and the G.A.A. Council such a strenuous pace over fences anti stone walls. It was there we were first introduced to Angels-on-Horseback and to Sarnois, both of which are delicious, A goodly number hiked with us down the Old Indian Trail—a most beautiful and tranquil spot close to the heart of the city. Remember the cold dark morning when twenty-four girls turned out at 5:50 A. M., hiked to Pinnacle Ridge, cooked and ate an ample breakfast, and re- turned home fresh, happy and invigorated, ready for another breakfast at the dormitory? During the winter several Winter Sport Parties were held and some girls mastered the art of skiing. Trips were made nearly every Saturday to Highland Park or some nearby hills or glens. How we did enjoy using the new toboggan which was purchased early in the winter. One of the last and most successful hikes of the season was that spring morn- ing sunrise hike, when with plenty of food and lots of pep, we cook our course to Cobbs Hill. Would that many more of us could spend the time and energy to enjoy some of natures’ beauty spots which surround our community. 141 Lament of a Student Oh, I wish I had purchased a Ramikhi When I was at dear old M, I, Oh, 1 wish I could read of my schoolmates And the scenes of the days now gone by. As I wander o'er life's dreary desert The memories of yester years Have slipped from my silly old blockhead And there lingers nothing bur rears. (Zfo) nlent ) When I think of the janes that 1 knew there And the nights that we strolled all alone— Oh, my soul, it cries out for a picture Of that sweet little girl of my own. CGirls alone') When 1 think of the boys that 1 knew there My dreams they arc hazy and dim. I cannot remember his chatter, Nor turn to a picture of him. Now if I had it all to do over I'd now turn the pages and grin For no power on this earth or in heaven Could keep me from my Ramiktn. G. A. A. Nautical Party Has die Bcvier Assembly Room ever looked or will it ever look quite die way it did on the night of our nautical party? The deck railing hung with life-savers and life-boats, the captain's deck overhead and far up in the crow's nest a soli- tary sailor looking off to sea. Scattered over the deck were passengers of all descriptions, Miss Sumner as one of the hardest looking gobs we have ever seen, Miss Benedict insisting that Miss Gracper had her deck-chair and trying to bribe one of the officers to get it for her, all the A. A. council dressed as officers with the rest of the school as sailors. After the gang-plank had been hauled aboard the officers favored us with some songs which weren't half so funny as the antics of our arch comedian, M- A. Dutton. There were games of all kinds, including a deck-scrubbing contest between faculty and students. Lastly, a long line of gobs with trays of food and, best of all, a five-pound box of candy from the faculty. Oh, boyr All of which served to make our party the most hilarious one of the year. G. A. A. Banquet The annual G. A. A. Banquet! The meaning of this phrase can only be appre- ciated by a true A. A. girl. Jr is here thar impetus is given for all activities throughout the year. The A. A. spirit that we hear so much is here displayed in all its glory with just one thing lacking—Mrs. Meehan Songs, pep, cheers, toasts given by Marjorie Koninsky and Blanche Gislason made merry the time preceding the speeches Miss Proper gave an inspiring talk to welcome in the new girls, Four speeches representing the four links of the A. A. followed this. Orilta Wright spoke on Organization, Edith Cleeland on Service, Osce Reynolds on Cooperation and Agnes Morgan on Comradeship. The main speaker was Mrs. Benton who portrayed in an ingenious fashion the typical all-around girl. The spirit aroused by the banquet was felt throughout the year in every A. A, event. May this spirit inspire our efforts in the years to come. 146 House Flirty Twas a cold and windy day when a crowd of G. A. A. girls were jostled around in an open truck bound for Concsus Lake, When they arrived there was a grand scramble for rooms, then later hikes and canoeing. Evening was a mixture of eats games, songs, and dancing. By midnight everyone was ready to tumble in, but snickers could be heard far into the night. Next morning a few daring souls braved the windy waters and took a duck. Later there was a hike and what happened on the dock—Crash! hang! Shouts! and there stood twenty M I. girls up to their knees in water but that did not dampen their spirits for after a few minutes, before a blazing fire, they were ready for the next stunt. The truck came all too soon to return rhe girls to the city. Everyone is look- ing forward ro the Spring house party at Camp Macona for a repetition of these good old rimes. Sports Banquet Onc evening the police were suddenly alarmed by a great burst of cheering and many peels of laughter renting the air. They immediately set out to locate its source, traced it ro the rest room at M. I and boldly opened the door, Oh, such a glorious array of colors as did meet their eyes, attractive bouquets were placed bewitchingly upon the tables which were arranged in a hollow square. Around the tables were seated not very tranquilly—many happy and excited people at last! the source of the noise. What do you suppose is going on? inquired Officer Murphy. Let's find out.’ So after locating the janitor they learned that it was the annual sports banquet of the G A. A. and such a jolly banquet it was! “Well, that is too good to spoil, replied Officer Murphy; let them yell all they want to, So rhe banquetcers not realizing their narrow escape went on having one of the best times had that year. G. A. A. Council Banquet A coming event which many are looking forward ro is the annual council banquet which marks the installation of the new officers of the association. Previous to this event there will be much excitement as to who will be the lucky ones chosen to hold the important offices of the A. A. during the coming year. Also who will be the guests of the old council at a banquet which this year is to be held at the Saga more. Those who have been really active in the association realize at this time the glory of success and the pleasure of achievement. We feel sure that this year, the old Council is going to be proud of its record and that it will turn over to new hands a bigger and better organization. 47 G. A A. Formal The success of the G. A. A. Formal was assured when we heard the music of the Seneca Serenades. The clash of symbols, the soothing (?) melodies of the saxophone and other instruments would have made the feet of a mummy twitch. The solarium of the Sagamore was filled with gay people from M. I, and we know that everyone including patrons and patronesses had a good time. True to A. A. standards, this dance, one of the very biggest of the year, was an overwhelming success. Christmas Tea A newly established tradition of the A. A. is the Christmas Tea. Each year the members of the Council act as hostesses to the students and faculty of both Fine Arts and Home Economics schools. We can never forget the Tea this year. Bevier living room with its holly and bright candles; the Christmas Spirit in the air; the delightful music of Miss Cleehind’s selection on the violin accompanied at the piano by her sister—all these binding people together in the joy of the com- ing season. At a table daintily set were Miss Proper and Elva Staud, pouring. One just couldn't help but feel the beauty of the occasion when the choir, in black, and carrying lighted candles, sang carols which took us back to the occasion they commemorated. It was a happy meeting for many friends before the long-looked-for holidays. Roller Skating Just before Christmas vacation M. 1. girls tripped gaily to the roller skating rink, but alas, some still had trips” left for the rink itself, as newcomers very nobly demonstrated in one graceful and prolonged slide. However, before long even those who had to cling desperately to the railing became efficient in sailing merrily around the room hoping to clear the corners safely. The afternoon finally drew to a close with many loach to leave and hoping that the next roller skating party would come soon, when the under-classmen arc determined they will carry away the laurels for the races. Card Party Bevier Living Room in party dress. Jots of tables decorated with red crepe paper, cards, candy, shrieks of laughter or otherwise as some poor unfortunate crumps a partners ace; all rhese at our Valentine Card Party. Oh, yes! prizes also. Who got them? Hold your breath while we tell you that two of our illustrious faculty —Miss Benedict and Miss Van Horne—received the Booby Prizes in Five Hun- dred and Bridge, respectively. There's hope yet for us mere students. Final Assembly The final assembly! Oh, what that means to a girl who has been at M. 1, as old time sport songs are sung, cheers are given for those making a class or a varsity ream. A most inspiring talk is given to arouse the new officers to carry on the aims, the ambitions of the Girls' Athletic Association. Many have been active in sports but those who have co-opcrated to the great- est extent have been awarded class or varsity honors. These are the winners of too points for which a sweater is awarded: j. Elva Staud 1914. z- Marion Gel I—1915. 3. Betty Young(?)—192.6. These are the winners of 50 points for which a 5 inch M. is awarded: x. Gertrude W. Beccen. 1. Margaret, Ann Dutton. 3. Nonna Davy. 4. Ida Staud, 3. Betty Young. 6. Madaline wisharc. 7. Dorothy Andrews £?). 149 Carnival On Thursday, February iSth, our annual Carnival was held. Merrymakers crowded the corridors and seats in the various shows were scarcely obtainable though the entertainment was well worth the struggle. In the gymnasium the Art League held forth. Their act consisted of various forms of past and present—chiefly contortionalistic dancing—anything from the graceful Grecian to the well-known Charleston of today. The village choir rendered or at least attempted to render several pathetic little selections. The Senior stunt brought forth many laughs with a play, The Country School '4 which told of the trials and tribulations of the new teacher when he attempted to curb the activities of the boys and girls after their long summer vacation. This deed accomplished, the products of his hard labor were shown at the last session of school with the school board as visitors. Every subject from flics to the value of farming was presented to the public, and the gigantic four-year-old recited speeches about birdies and flowers which won him hearty applause The G. A. A. conducted a shooting gallery which was a big success. Darts served as bullets, and many colored toy balloons as marks. The corridors were gaily decorated with vari-colored lights and flowers and bunting helped to form an attractive tea room managed by girls of the Junior Class. One large hall was filled with electrical instruments which kepi the audience in flight from one side of the room to the other as the sparks and artificial lightning were released at the will of the operators. This eventful evening was concluded bv dancing in Bevier Hall under the direction of M, I. A. A. 11 The Dorm Formal Just before the Christmas holidays the Dorm had its annual dance. It caused much excitement for this was the first formal” of the season, What a scurry and rush, and a babel there was in the old halts until every hair was n placet and the last caller” had come! The dance was conveniently near at hand in rhe Rochester Hotel. How fast the time went — also the punch and what a wonderful time everyone had ! Pay Day On—how immensely arc we thrilled when vve look back to Pay Day. It was a hot stifling day when Mechanics boarded the Ontario” at Charlotte and steamed across the Lake to make a visit to Cobourg, Canada. The Lake was cool, so cool in fact, chat the majority shivered and went in off the deck to dance to the music made by a real jazzy orchestra, A heavy fog hung over the lake and the fog horn compered with the noisy merrymakers. An inviting lunch was given to all the passengers and soon after wc arrived in the sleepy village. Some went to a pavilion to dance, others to the beach, and others to a small store at the corner. About four o'clock everyone returned to the boat and came back to Rochester. We are all eagerly looking forward to next Pay Day and hoping that Fare has as good a lime in store for us. Freshman Receptum Held the first week of school in the Fall, for the purpose of acquainting the freshmen with each other. First of all they were greeted by the faculty in Bcvtcr, next everyone moved over to Eastman Building to be introduced and dance, while refreshments were served in the Practice House. This is one of the social events at M. 1. that really helps us all to know each other, and early in the year too. It has become a yearly afF.ur and from its success certainly deserves to remain on our school calendar. 5J Dorm Gossip Di;ar Friend: So you would like to know what hits become of all rhe girls who lived in the Dorm with us. Well—just ten years have passed since we were all together. It would take so long to write all that 1 have heard and seen of the old gang char 1 believe I will copy extracts from my last year's diary and send them to you. Betty Bacon and I left our gift shop (which was designed by Agnes Morgan) in the hands of a very efficient manager, Delia Clark, for an extended trip. But to proceed, here arc thecxcracts: May 17, 1935—Sailed for Fi ji Islands, Passed a small fishing boat off the coast manned by Dorothy Witt and Mary Geiger. Still on the job i see. On reaching rhe islands a strange sight met our eyes. Three American ladies in native cos- tume Marian Webb. Florence Shancr, and Matilda Slack more man trouble I guess, and this was a rest for their nerves. June 1st—In Porto Rico wc ran across Pauline Coleman who was looking for rhe lost something. We also met Glad Lewis, who was on her honeymoon ' I've forgotten which one she finally married). She said that Flop Hamilton was still busily engaged, no further developments having taken place. Also that Dutch Walrath and Ray have lots of little rays of sunshine to brighten their happy home. July 4th—Motoring in states for some time now. Near Fairmont, West Vir- ginia. Ran out of gas. Found Ruth Harr and her husband operating a gas station. Ruth told us that Dora Smith and Vina Tuttle had set up a thriving restaurant in the next town combined with a high class dance hall run by the famous Charlesroners, Marguerite Edwards and Olive Klaus. July 5th Stopped at crossroads store for supplies. We went into the store and there was Josh with his feet on the counter and a much besmirched corncob in his mouth He divulged the fact that he and Sally Bo lies were hitched up and were living contentedly. Marian Hastings is governess to the twins, July 7th—Rained and wc had a blow out. We hailed the first car that came along and out jumped Ril Wright. She loaned us her jack but lost no time in driving off with her Jack. She had just left Lois Gordinier and Ted, Norma Davy and Pick, Sally Mctzgar and Honey and Mary Willoughby and Pat at Miami, Florida, where they were holding a grand celebration, each having been happily married one whole year. Tonight wc stopped at an Inn outside 151 Dorm Gossip Springfield, N. J., and had the best chicken supper. Bur why not? Lois Burton, Rachael Smith and Kathleen Downs were running the place. Running opposition to them in the same town were Helen WoJverton and Maude Locke. Nellie Duketce is doing their advertising. By the way, Jerry McCarthy is living in the little house that Jack built near Rochester. July 13th—Pulled into a little farm near Westfield, N, Y., at night. There we found June Card settled down with a man 1 never even heard of before. I swan queer things do happen. She said that Helen Ruct and Betty Bartley were also sett led down and happy. (Hope chests are not always in vain.) Peg Fish is living on the adjoining farm with Floyd and Herb as hired man, July i)th Stopped at Jamestown for church. There was a wonderful sermon and music. Ivah Richardson was leading soloist. We saw her for a few minutes and she told us that Janet Talamo and Julia Booth both married and are living abroad (rheir husbands in this country). Frances Carpenter is head of the dining room at M, 1. with Pearl Hewitt assisting. I heard also that Helen Flinn had taken Miss Benedict's place. More power to her. July 17th- We spent most of the day in Niagara Falls. Betty Brown, Olive EL and Mildred Monin have starred an exclusive cabaret by which they sup- port their respective husbands. Later, while in Canada, we found Gladys Klippl and Grace Harwood established as forest rangers, living in the cutest little look-outs. Janet Weir is their cook and companion. July 10th—While buying provisions vve found a wonderful new cereal, manu- factured by Betty Waldron and Ruth Teasdale. We bought several magazines. The cover on one was bv Florence Wheeler and some of the finest illustrations were by Barbara Bikelv and Imogene Marks. Grace Marr has become another Coles Phillips and is second to none other in the world. One of the advertise- ments showed Dot Lennon displaying Real Silk Hosiery. In another magazine were pictures of Gladys Brown arid Vernicc Hcrschler advertising ' Marmola (before and alter). July rmd—Something happened to the car. I guess it went bow legged again for here vve arc in the Wolcott General Hospital. Well, every cloud has its silver lining, Grace Walsh and Alice Bahrenburg are our nurses Alice is holding Betty down. She insists that Saint Peter is putting new hinges on the Golden Gates and can't find the screw driver. Later wc discovered that what we hit was Dr. and Mrs. Dodge. She was formerly Marian Chidscy and even in school 53 Dorm Gossip she was a hard one: to dodge. Gertrude Chapman was elevator girl and assistant dietitian. July 13rd Two charily women came into the ward (we are in the miscellan- eous ward because no one knew us at first). They happened 10 be Ruth Munyan and Evelyn Quigley, who have been working together since they left M. I. We were annoyed hv ravings of a patient. Upon inquiry we found it to be our old friend, Edy Buller, who had fallen downstairs and was suffering from water on the brain. July 17th1—Out of the hospital. Went to a restaurant to get a square meal. Maxine Bacon and Sigrid Gclercson were proprietors. Queer how many Dorm girls go in for restaurant work, considering! Four girls talking excitedly, came in and sat down opposite us. They were Dot Lander, Henrieua French, Helen Burke and Catherine Smith. The argu- ment proved to be over the “Why and Wherefore and “If not—Why not? Leaving the restaurant vve made our way 10 a little French shop. There we found Mildred Christian in charge with Aileen Withered as foreign buyer. In connection with this shop Frances Palmer ran an exclusive children’s wear shop. Took in a show. Grace Kaiser was a star in the Mack Scnnctt Comedy and Helen Alpaugh was a close second. The vaudeville was excellent. Jane Wilson came out as a toe dancer and danced on her own toes for a change. This has been much longer than 1 expected so I shall expect a quick reply. Shictrely, Betty Young. � 54 55 156 '57 Automatic Re frig eration WITH YOUR TET US install Serv-el Automatic Refrigeration in J—i your own ice box.
