Frontispiece What a sense of greatness comes to us when we have achieved something! How splendid we feel. W e, who are publishing this book feel that we have achieved our goal if we have put satisfactorily be- fore you a chronicle of the events, thoughts and deeds of our few short years in Mechanics Institute. We have tried to carry throughout our Ramikin a theme of Achievement beginning with the Vision of the Freshmen, through the Courage of the Sopho- mores, the Perseverance of the Juniors, on to Ac- complishment, the reward of the Seniors. We could not have achieved our goal had it not been for the Faculty, tlie Fellowship of our Organizations and the Goodwill of our Associates. So, now we put before you our annual, our final achieve- ment, for your judgment. Ro ilcirv 19 Z 7 Pt e seated ky M:ke Sei ior- Class Meckanics Institute VOLUME wvm Foreword It is our sincere purpose in presenting this, the Six- teenth edition of the Rami kin, to chronicle to the best ot our ability the events ot the past school year and to unite the past with the future. 1 he book lias its faults, we do not deny that, but we hope we have succeeded in our endeavor to review the past year at Mechanics Institute to such an extent that the good in our publication wilt outshine that which is only mediocre or even poor. ■- v fort li this, the 1927 Rami kin, in hopes that it. will serve the purpose for which it was intended, to revive your’ memories of Mechanics Institute in years that are yet to come. Edward A. Halbleib in appreciation of hi untiring and enthusiastic efforts in fit rt Iter- in ff the interests of Mechanics Institute, this, the sixteenth volume of the R amikiw is dedicated.

Comb President Board of Directors 1927 RAMIKIN The Institute Out of the need for men trained along technical and industrial lines came the founding of the Mechanics Institute. The fact that it so successfully met this need is due to the leadership of Captain Henry Lomb, founder and first presi- dent, and the help and interest of other public spirited citizens who gave freely of their time and money that its purpose, “to promote such practical educa- tion as may enable those persons receiving instruction to become better fitted for their occupations in life, might be accomplished. How well this has been done is amply attested by the rapid growth and valuable service of the Insti- tute to Rochester and its environs. Since the meeting of its first class on November 23, 1885, in an upper room of the Rochester Free Academy, the Institute has continued to foresee and to meet the ever increasing demand for the special type of education it offers. In 1892 seven years after its founding, the Institute was admitted to the Regents of the State of New York, By this time it had absorbed the old Rochester Athenaeum and had outgrown its cpiarters on the third floor of the Smith and Perkins Building in Exchange Street where it had moved after one year at the Free Academy, and had acquired property for its permanent home in the block between South Washington and Spring Streets. The manuel training building was the first to be erected on this site and the department of Industrial and Fine Arts moved into the new quarters in December, 1894. A library and reading room was also established at this time in the same building. In the year 1900 George Eastman purchased the remainder of the square facing on Plymouth Avenue and erected a main building for the Institute. The Eastman building was completed April 15, 1901, and the classes moved into what has been their home ever since. The Bevier Memorial Building was erected in 1910-11 in memory of Mrs. Susan Bevier from a fund given by her to the Institute for this purpose. This building houses the school of Applied Art which is generally recognized as the finest equipped art school of its size in the country. Several other buildings were also added—the Girls’ Dormitory, the Practice House, and the Power House. With tlu addition of new buildings eoine a corresponding addition of new courses such as the engineering cooperative courses, and the courses in Home Economics, and dietetics. Thus the Institute has been able in the forty-two years of its existence to offer a valuable service to the community as well as to the individuals who have directly benefitted by its.training. 1927 8 RAMIKIN 9 Present Home of the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute RAMIKIN — lin ier Memorial Building, 1910—Home of Applied Arts Nathaniel Rochester Home, Which Occupied Site of Bevier Building 1927 10 RAMIKIN 'VV-.

The most honorable class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-seven is about to leave. Have pity on the “life” at Mechanics Institute without them. In 19£4, the biggest and greenest class entered the portals of this glorious school only to be “razzed” by the preceding greenhorns. The greatest trials of our young lives began with the Freshmen Initiation. What horrors! The girls in green bibs, over-grown safety pins, white baby bonnets and the boys decked out in bright red ribbons, white socks and black ties and those ever-apparent Frosh caps. The Freshmen reception—all forms of etiquette disregarded as the fellows dashed about to find a girl for the next gallop. Next came the Carnival and the Mardi Gras. Then before we realized it the year of terrors was over. We re Juniors! The Junior year. High and mighty were we, and did we make the poor Freshmen cringe? Did we? Well, we just seemed to be gifted in that way. We as yet hadn’t forgotten the embarrassments of the previous year. Some one had to pay. The all important Friday evening arrived for the Junior Prom, at the Seneca with the Orange Peelers of Syracuse University providing the music. W ith the Prom, came silver perfume flasks and keytainers as favors. Also sore feet and wet weather, as reminders. Of course, we boosted the Carnival along by preparing and serving that which is always important—the refreshments. Indeed! We are now the mighty lords of all, we are Seniors. The first event of importance was a dance held October 18 in Bevicr. As to the success of this dance just ask anyone of importance around the school for they were all there. Next came the exclusive Christmas Party at which the Seniors disported themselves for their amusement but for their eyes alone. This party was held for the purpose of making the members of the class better acquainted with each other and it certainly met its aim beautifully. Before the evening was over everyone was calling everyone else by his nickname. Bridge and Danc- ing featured t he evening and then an honest to goodness real luncheon was prepared and served by our competent class in dietetics. Was it fun? Not many of us will forget it . The first dance being such a success we field another on February 18. This was also held in Bevier and running true to form went across as bigas the first. After reading these lines you may grasp the significance of the “beginning of the end has come” and you can readily perceive why we are so reluctant to leave. But all good things must have an ending. We now hold these as mem- ories and turn to the more serious side of life, feeling better fitted for the Future and always ready to live up to our motto—“Achievement.” —- ----------- 1927 - 27 RAMIKIN Alma Mater 0, Alma Mater, «? % day We strive to hold thine honor bright, .1 nd pledge anew our loyalty, Defend thy name with all our might.

Why write up its history when it has been so much in evidence? We are sure that everyone has been aware of our radiating influence for some time. Why, fully a year before we entered Mechanics Institute, warnings had come to the students about the unusual class that was about to enter, and invade the spacious halls and class rooms. In fact everyone anxiously awaited our arrival. W e arrived! And then things began to hum. The school became like a hornets’ nest—buzzing with excitement and numerous events. The class was organized, its officers elected and a firm foundation established. The time drew near for the big event of the year—The Junior Prom. It was indeed, the event of the year. How could it be otherwise with such music, such a floor, excitement, amid dazzling lights and the rainbow of beautiful colors in the gowns of the fair sex? Preparations were started months in advance, so that it might he the PEST Prom, ever held, and it was. Lest we overlook the fact that all our efforts were not centered on social events, you are reminded that the Junior Class has contributed much to the athletics of the school. Many of the Junior girls received numerous honors which are awarded at the Girls’ Athletic Association assembly, and they are still working for more and climbing the ladder higher daily. So we remind you, who know a good thing at a glance, which class yells the loudest in cheering? Is brighter than the rest? Has the most pep? Stands the hardest test? And your answer is— The Junior Class!!! I-------------- - 1927 ------ 73 RAMIKIN Jl'XIOR DIETITIANS BARBER MUXYAN MEAGHER BROWN SMITH RAUBER The Junior Class Mildred Monin, Niagara Falls, New York.

To begin with the Frosh were acquainted with the rigid discipline by a severe initiation. Between the upper-classmen, finding a room, and getting settled the new comers to the school found no time to get homesick. The noon day meetings with the Juniors and Seniors presiding, were also interesting. The upper-classmen took the welfare of the Freshmen so much to heart that they went to the trouble of showing some of them the city and surrounding vicinity. All of these sight seeing trips took place in the evening, after dark. Finally the class became organized and elected officers. Plans were also made for the big party which took place in February and which was a huge success. At present the Frosh are looking forward to another party to be held late in the year at which time they hope to exceed in every respect the fine showing they made in their initial attempt at entertaining. During the years which the members of the Class of 1949 have yet to spend in Mechanics Institute, they hope to equal the standard which has been set for them by their predecessors. 1927 87 RAMIKIN J I i FRESHMAN SCHOOL OF HOME ECONOMICS STARK JOHNSTON RICKMAN WILSON WARREN WALLACE NXEFERGOLD MCMASTER SIMS ROCKEFELLER DALY DEMCHAK TABER MALONEY The Freshman Class Roy K.

The Phi IJpsilon Phi sorority was organized in November, 1919. The pur- pose of the organization is to promote good fellowship and friendship among the girls of the different departments of the school. The activities of the soror- ity have included both beneficial work and leisure play. The Alpha Psi sorority was founded in the fall of 1920. The main purpose of the organization being to promote a feeling of sisterhood and loyalty in the hearts of the girls. School spirit and fair play are encouraged and looked for from the Alpha Psi members. A high scholastic standing is at all times essential. The Delta Omicron was organized in the year of 1921 by its eight charter members. The aim of the sorority has always been to promote high ideals in the sorority and in the Institute. The Sigma Kappa Delta sorority was founded in November, 1926, by its nine charter members. The purpose of this organization is to establish at the Institute, a feeling of loyalty and steadfastness. The work of the sorority includes study of music, art and literature as well as the social activities. The membership consists of an equal number of girls from the School of Fine and Applied Art and from the School of Home Economics. The Inter-Sorority Council consists of two representatives from each Sorority in the school. This organization elects its own officers and conducts meetings independently of the sororities. The purpose of the Inter-Sorority Council is to unite the sororities in matters of common interest and to set the dates and rules regarding the “rushing” of non-sorority girls at Mechanics Institute. The big event of the year which is under the supervision of the Council is the Inter-Sorority “formal” banquet, held in the spring of each year. 1927 � 9 RAMIKIN GOODHUE BURKE GJLLABD LOCKWOOD FARLEY MALONEY THUBBER FITZGERALD WALLACE REYER WARREN’ SMITH Me MASTER SHELDON GOHEEN MONIN SOOY SMITH WALSH LANDER LOCKE BROWN HASTINGS MOYER Alpha Psi HONORARY MEMBERS Miss May Benedict Mrs Jessie E.

Alpha Psi has grown steadily throughout the seven successful years of its existence and the present active membership is twenty-nine. During its history the sorority has never lost sight of the ideals on which it is based. This year which is about to close has been most successful for Alpha Psi. The sorority has taken part in all of the activities of the school. Tt has been a year of the utmost social enjoyment for the sorority. The “rushing” season, during which several delightful parties were given, was closed with a formal initiation, dinner and dance on February 4. Our annual St. Patrick’s dance surpassed even those of former years and was voted a huge success from every standpoint. Several other social events are at present being planned, among them being a house party at the lake, to which we are all looking forward. The sorority’s activities have not all been social, however. Numerous charitable projects have been undertaken. We are also planning to send a delegate to the Silver Bay Conference, as in years past. Our scholastic standard has not been lowered, nor has our interest in athletics waned. We hope to be able to do even better in future years—to carry on to the best of our ability the high standard set for us by our founders. -------------------- 1927 101 RAMIKIN MARK TOBEY STAL'D SAGER COVEY SCHUTT BACON ALMY YOUNG ANDREWS ROCKEFELLER DALY BAKER REYNOLDS Delta Omicron HONORARY MEMBERS Mrs. Gertrude Gibson Meehan Mrs, Elsie French Gordiniek Mrs. Mildred Coffin Edgarton Miss Laura 1,.

These girls saw the need of an organization within the school and felt that a sorority was the one means by which the girls might become united. The aims of the sorority have ever been to establish firm friendship and to promote high ideals in the sorority and in the school. The sorority supports several social events other than the usual social and business meetings. The Annual St. Valentine’s “formal” was held at the Wo- man's Club on February 11 and was a huge success. The “closed” dance was held at the Blarney Stone Inn at West Webster and was largely attended. However, this sorority is not solely interested in social events and frequently makes visits and gifts to hospitals and charitable institutions. 1927 103 RAMIKIN BACON REED REARICK BICKNELL RUTT YOUNG SMITH YARKER HELLEN STERNS GEIGER BLOMQLYST MORGAN CARD REIDENBACH WILSON SEIDEL BARTON GORMLY DOWNS SMITH CAZEAU Phi Upsilon Phi HONORARY MEMBERS President John Randall Miss Bessie Gillard Miss Emma Graeper SORORES 1927 Ruth Barton M ARC A RET BlCKN ELL Lois Burton Gene Reidenrach Helen Rutt Laura Smith Olive Bacon June Card Ruth Reed Racehl Smith Marion Sterns Mary Geiger Betty Hellen Fern Wilson SORORES 1928 Agnes Morgan Katherine Seidel Marjorie Young SORORES 1929 MARION BLOM QU1 ST Hortense Cazeau Kat h leen Downs Ellen Yakker Etta Gormly Ellen O’Ray Esther Rearick 1927 104 RAMIKIN Phi Upsilon Phi The social activities of this sorority opened with a “Get Acquainted tea in Bevier Living Room- The faculty and all freshman girls were invited and a goodly number attended. In October the first rush party in the form of a bridge and supper party was held. Later in the month came the second one, a theater party at the Eastman, and in November we held our final rush dinner at the Oakhill Country Club, Our pledging and initiations came in December and January, Late in January we gave our first big party, the formal dance at the Seneca Hotel, This dance was open to our friends and to welcome them and lend dignity to the occasion Mrs. Jessie Lockwood, Miss Bessie Gillard and Miss Emma Graeper acted in the capacity of chaperones. An excellent orchestra furnished irresistible music and the decorations were flowers and our sorority colors. We had many guests in addition to the goodly representation of sorority sisters and the affair proved a great success in every way and especi- ally from the standpoint of enjoyment and enthusiasm on the parts of those who attended. Our sorority this year ventured into a new field for the purpose of raising funds and held two most successful candy sales in Eastman Building. The members had good times in working together to provide good things for the sales and both sales were very successful financially. From February on thru the Lenten season we were active socially only in our own group and after the Easter vacation held a closed dance which brought the members even more closely together in cooperating to make it a success. To (dose out year in June we expect to send a representative to the Silver Bay Conference, She brings back to us in September her impressions and ideas which help to carry tlie sorority forward in the same fine and inspired way which has characterized Phi Upsilon Phi since its splendid beginning here at Mechanics Institute. 1927 - 105 RAMIKIN RIKEK BYE DORR CLARK MEAGHER CHASE BACON HOLLIDAY WHEELER SIUNYAN Sigma Kappa Delta HONORARY MEMBERS Miss Janice Dorr Mrs. Caroline Thomason Miss Caroline Hiker Mr. Byron Culver SORORES 1927 Maxine Bacon Virginia Chase Florence Wheeler SORORES 1928 Winifred Bye Ruth Munyon Katherine Hickey Eleanor Meagher Kathren Holliday SORORES 1929 Aleen Clark 1927 --------------- RAMIKIN Sigma Kappa Delta The Sigma Kappa Delta sorority was founded at Mechanics Institute in November 1926. By a ruling of the founders of the sorority the membership of the organization is always to be composed of an equal number of girls from the School of Home Economics and the School of Applied Art. The aim of the sorority is to help promote the scholastic standing of the school, and through social activities a more friendly feeling amongst the girls of the two schools. The sorority has members who are on the Governing Board of the G.A.A., the Executive Committee of the Junior Class and Senior members who are very active in the athletic life of the school. The organization is looking forward to taking an active part in the sorority life of the school.

Clubs and organizations of all kinds have seen their life and death without accomplishing very much at this Institute; but fraternities have come to be accepted as a necessity. Fraternities have existed here at the Institute for twenty-five years, Phi Sigma Phi being the oldest was founded in 1901, It was founded by six charter members and it was around these that the fraternity was built. Their first meetings were held in the Rochester Hotel and after the hard fight for ex- istence, finally became situated in their first home on Spring Street, in what was commonly known as Colony Hall. Later they moved to 60 South Wash- ington Street, At the present time they are without a house and are holding their meetings at the Institute. Chi Delta Phi was the next fraternity to be organized. It was organized in the fall of 1914 under the name of Delta Delta. The following year they became situated in their first home on Troup Street and changed their name to Chi Phi. This home was maintained until the men were called to t he service of their country. In the fall of 1919, the returning brothers re-established their fraternity and on May 11, 1920, became incorporated under the laws of New York State, under the name of (’hi Delta Phi—the Delta being taken from the original name. In the summer of 1921 they moved into a new home at 79 Tremont Street, but in the fall of 1922, they moved to a more central and convenient location at 7 North Washington St reet, while at present they carry on all their functions at the Institute. In December, 1921, Chi Epsilon Phi fraternity was founded. They origin- ally limited its membership to students enrolled in only the Chemical and Electrical courses, but lately this rule has been changed so that any male day student in the Institute is eligible. Although this fraternity is what you might say in its infancy, it compares very favorably with the two older fraternities. Due the fact, that cooperation and excellent inter-fraternity relation were found to be necessary, a body called the Inter-Fraternal Council was formed in 1922, consisting of three men from each fraternity. The duties of the Inter-Fraternal Council are to regulate rush parties and initiations. The annual Mardi (iras is run entirely by the council and is always the biggest event of the year. An annual Inter-Fraternity banquet is put on by the council at the end of each year. ----------------------------------- 1927 ---------T -■----------- 109 RAMIKIN SOULE V. ERICKSON PROCTOR F.

Newberry, who passed away on October 23, 1926 after hav- ing been confined to his bed since the previous May. Although Brother Newberry was with us less than one short school year, he gained a wide circle of friends not only among his Fraternity Brothers but throughout the Institute and his passing was a source of much regret to all who had known him. With the exception of the poignant bereave- ment caused by the death of Brother Newberry, the year which is about to close has been a happy, successful and prosperous one for the Chi Delta Phi fraternity. All of the dances and other social events of the organization with the ex- ception of the first dance which was held early in October, have been “closed affairs,” open only to members and invited guests. Our annual May dinner- dance, scheduled for May 6 at the Rochester Club, according to plans now well under way, looms as the biggest and most elaborate social endeavor ever attempted by an M. I. organization and should reign supreme as THE social event of the year. Dinner meetings have been held monthly throughout the term and on these occasions the Brothers have had the pleasure of listening to some notable speaker, thus making these affairs educational as well as social gatherings. When the time for initiation of candidates came around Chi Delta Phi stepped to the fore with the innovation of taking the pledges to Canandaigua where both the formal and informal rites were administered at the Rochester Boy Scout Camp on Canandaigua Lake. This took place early in December and was an event which will be long remembered by Brothers and those who became such at that time. The work in basketball of Brothers, Murray, Baltzel (Capt.), Whitbourne, Proctor, Marshall, Soule, Moore (Manager), and Brodie (Faculty Manager) is worthy of mention because the season was one of the most successful the Institute has ever enjoyed in basketball. 1927 111 RAMIKIN VAN WYF.V GREENE HAUSER ADAIR ROWLEY NORTH BENNETT BOLTON CROCKETT EATON CURRIE DWYER FRENCH MCGEE PHILLIPS IIILL DELANEY GRATTON MACUMBER HERMAN BALLIETT TERRY GILMAN BUTCHER KINTZ BLAIR BISLEY WOODW ORTH PUNNETT CONLON MASON MORRIS Chi Epsilon Phi FRATRES 1927 Keith E.

Motto—“Semper Fideles, Semper Fratres. The Chi Epsilon Phi Fraternity lias passed another successful year, one that has been the most active and the most enjoyable in the history of the fra- ternity. Twenty new brothers were elected from the student body to compensate for the loss of the brothers who left the active list through graduation. These new brothers have shown by their ability and enthusiasm for fraternal life and activities, that they are the brothers to carry on and to maintain the high standards of the fraternity. The social calender, has as usual been one of enjoyment and pleasure to the brothers, through closed dances, smokers, bowlers, boxing and wrestling matches and to the school as a whole through the open social events. In athletics our brothers have again played a prominent part, both in the varsity basketball games and the games played by the fraternity quintet. Our boxing and wrestling teams made very good showings and in another year will prove to be real opposition against other teams. The honorary key given to brothers whose standings, scholastically and in the activities of the fraternity entitles them to membership in the second degree, has proven a keen success. It is a real incentive to all brothers and tends to promote a better school spirit. Our new rooms which were secured during the past year have proven a real success. They are furnished very tastefully and have been the scene of many enjoyable parties. This year, as last year, many of the brothers pass to the alumni list through graduation, the brothers who remain and the new ones, who will be taken in, will carry on and maintain the ideals this fraternity has always upheld. It is the aim of the fraternity to promote the general friendship of the student body and help carry on and play a prominent part in the activities of the Institute. 1927 - lltf RAMIKIN BITTEL STARK FERM NIVER KLECKLER PETERSON ELLIS WELLS NILSQN THURSTON HARNARD COLLINS KRAMER BUSS COOTS PAINE IIOGEBOOM GRIMALDI WALKER WYANT GLEASON Phi Sigma Phi HON()RAHY M EMBERS Alfred Johns Charles Gates Earl Karker Charles Horne Robert Lockhart Herman Martin Edgar Robinson CLASS OF 1927 Howard Russ Stanley Collins Glenn Perm George Gleason Norman Kramer Karl Watson Clifford Wyant CLASS OF 1928 Harold Bittel Linn Phelan Alfred Paine Fay Harnard Harold Thurston Gorden Graham Sherman Hagberg David Kessler J.

Besides the active members a large number of alumni members of the fraternity were present. A number of stories and experiences of the members were related and during the banquet dinner music was furnished by an orchestra. Two very successful dances were held in Bevier Hall by the fraternity. The first on Oct. 22 and the second, a novelty dance, on Jan. 14. Also a closed dance was held at which favors were given. This affair was also held in Bevier. The year was closed with a banquet to the senior members at the Avon Inn at Avon, N. Y. Besides its many social affairs the fraternity was also prominent in athletics. The “Phi Sig” basketball team played several games with different teams about the city besides competing in the inter-fraternal basketball tournament and during the year three bowling parties were held at various bowling alleys in the city. Among the important offices in school held by members of this fraternity during the past year were: President of the Freshmen class. President of the Inter-Fraternal Council, President of the Senior Class and President of the Student Council. As the original members pledged themselves so do we pledge ourselves to manly conduct, earnest effort in studies, and faithfulness to our school and our fraternity.

Herman Martin as faculty advisor. The first big thing to be considered by the Council this year was the Wrestling and Iioxing Club for the men of the Institute. The school has had shower baths installed in the basement and mats, boxing gloves, medicine balls and other paraphernalia incidental to these sports have been secured. The next event to be supported by the Council will be “Pay Day. This, if it is given the support of the student body, will be a big success and a day to be remembered. The Council has worked hard to make this year a success and the members wish to take this opportunity to thank the student body for its loyal support and cooperation. 1927 ■ 117 RAMIKIN BURNS ROSE VAN EMERICK GENTSCU BUSS BACON HARDER MASON MARRIOTT BUHL CONLOX KLIPPLE The Ramikhi Staff Martin R.

Marriott Editor-in-Chief The Kamikin Staff EDITORIAL Producing this, the sixteenth edition of the Rainikin, has not been an easy task and we hope that our readers will take the magnitude of the undertaking into consideration before criticising us too severely. Our aim, like that of most year book staffs, has been to produce the best Annual ever and to do it in an original manner. Whether we have met with any success in our venture we leave to our readers to decide. We have instituted many changes in the Rainikin and have added a humor section, a parody on the Rainikin itself, which we hope will fill the demand for humor within these pages. Thus the “Nikimar” comes into existence and the “great mystery” is solved. Those desiring to claim the reward are respectfully referred to the Business Manager. Try to collect! The staff takes this opportunity to thank the students in general, the faculty, our advertisers and all who have in any way assisted us in producing the 1927 Ramikin.

Wit h this in mind, the Rochester Art League was founded in 1902, The League was formed primarily for the purpose of bringing the Art students of Rochester in contact with the various phases of professional artists and illustrators. The activities of the Art League this year have included an “At Home,” held in September, a very successful Halloween Masquerade Dance in October and at the Holiday Season a Christmas Party with Jack Sullivan as “Santa Claus.” “Old Clothes Day,” in the League was an exciting event. Several men learned to their sorrow that this organization was strict in its requirements. Those who wore good clothing went bravely to their Ducking, The Christmas Sale this year ottered a large variety of art objects including metalry, basketry, pottery, tie-dyed and batik scarfs and leather work. The sale was well patronized by Rochester people. Each Tuesday evening a sketch class was conducted by the Art League with students posing. Several times during the year prizes were awarded for the best sketches. In April the play, “Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp,” was given under the direction of Milton Bond. This production was one of the finest ever staged at the Art School. The Oriental and African costumes were designed by Katherine Holliday and Florence A heeler; the Scenery was executed by Howard Buss, Winifred Bye, Eunice Fitch, and Jack Sullivan. Ernest Walker had charge of the lighting. It was a colorful production with a large, and well chosen cast. The Art League this year has enjoyed the greatest success since its organ- ization, due to the cooperation and interest shown by the students in standing behind whatever was started. We surely hope that the Art League is as big a success in the years to come as it has been this year. 1927 ------- 121 RAMIKIN MONAGHAN CHAMBERS DODSON GRIDLEY MCCABE FOSTER DOWNS COLEMAN MORPHY WARREN TAYLOR KLIPPLE KLINE RAUBER DI8PARTI BARBER CHAPMAN MORGAN PALMER HILTON WILLIAMS CARPENTER REED The Girl’s Glee Club The Girls’ Glee Club is a new organization this year Under the able direction of Mr. Frank C Biddle, a fine standard has been set, worthy to be strived for in future years.

Holly, President Men’s Glee Club Frank C. Biddle, Director This year's Glee Club has enjoyed a very successful season. At the opening rehearsal there were more than fifty candidates seeking admittance, all the voices were tried out and the men placed in their respective groups. When regular rehearsals were once underway, the general attendance was very high, averaging about eighty per cent of the total enrollment. The first concert of the Glee Club was given over the air, from the studio of radio station N HEC and many favorable reports were received from all parts of the I nited States and Canada. The double quartet was formed on November 2 and is composed of Messrs. (’Iceland, Burritt, Hadley, Niver, Mason, Holly, Hall and Van Wyen. Their initial appearance was made at an invitation banquet in the Chamber of Commerce Hall where they made a very favorable impression. The first out of town concert was given on March S at Gates Hall. This was the first trip ever taken by a Mechanics Institute Glee Club and was very successful in every respect. The assisting soloists were Earl H. Biddle and Robert O. Barclay. A number of impromptu engagements in and about the city were also given during the season by the Glee Club all of which equally as successful as the more formal ones. The final appearance of the seasoii is to take place in the Madison Junior High School. This concert will probably take place during the latter part of May and will be the first appearance of the combined Men's and Women's («lee Clubs of Mechanics Institute. Two thousand tickets for the event have been distributed and with enthusiasm running high, everything points to very successful finale of the year’s work. The outlook of the Men’s Glee (dub for next season is unusually bright because the organization is young and will not lose many members through graduation. Besides many local concerts which are being planned, next year’s program will probably include two or three out of town trips and possibly a ten-day tour. At present, as was the case last year, the Glee Club is supported by the Students’ Association through the Student Council, assisted by what ever money is realized from the concerts but it is expected that next year the organization will be practically self-supporting. The officers and members of the (dec ('lul take this opportunity to again thank the assisting soloists, also those have helped in any way to make the season a success and especially Mr. John Randall and Alfred Johns, for support and cooperation. 1927 125 RAMIKIN LANDER DOWNS MALONEY BARTON LOCKWOOD DUKETTE CARD BROWN WALSH Dormitory Council THE OFFICERS June Card...........................President Betty Brown........................

Initiation over without any fatalities, we settled down to the real business of living together and getting our work done. On December fourth, our big social event of the year, the dormitory formal, took place. It was held at the Seneca Hotel with music by the Campus Orches- tra of the II. of li. The dance was an unqualified success. The evening before we left for Christmas vacation we held our annual “slam party which evoked much laughter each time an individual was presented with a small gift illus- trating her particular characteristics. That same night at midnight, the fresh- men according to tradition, pajama clad and carrying lighted candles, marched from sixth floor down to first and back again singing Christmas carols. This is one of the simplest and most pleasing ceremonies of the year. House meetings are held every month at which problems relating to the organization of the dormitory arc discussed and suggestion offered toward better organization. 1927 127 RAMIKIN COY MARTINSON BERNARD BENNETT JOSEPHS ORDWAY DEG AUDI MARSHALL TESSIE RIZZO COHEN Dl CECCO BOHACKET HILL ROWLEY SEELEY ELAM PUTNAM KAELI FOK TO BEY RITZ HOUSTON SH EFFER WELLS JANOWSKI BREW MAIER PAINE Architects' Association La Ru e Hill .

The Association has tried throughout I he year to carry out the ideals on which the Association was founded—“To bind atchitectural students to- gether both in a scholarly and fraternal way, and to help as we are able in meeting the requirements of the course.” Early in the year the members voted to have a monthly supper meeting in addition to the annual dance and banquet. These were a huge success, as the Association was always fortunate in obtaining fine speakers. Mr Gordon of Gordon and Kaelber, architects, spoke on “Design in Architecture.” Mr Ailing Clements, of the art school faculty, gave liis im- pression of European Architecture. Mr. John Wenrich, also the art school faculty, gave a reminiscence of his Southern sketch trips. At a later meeting Mr. Wenrich gave some suggestions on modern architectural rendering. Mr. LeRoy Snyder, general manager of the Times-TJnion, gave a very interesting talk on “Sincerity in Architecture.” The Faculty has been very helpful in securing speakers and the Association takes this opportunity to thank them for their friendly cooperation. In addition to the supper meetings the Association held its annual dance on which a great deal of time and thought were spent in an effort to make it the best possible. The orchestra was placed in a tiny orange and brown English cottage. Around the walls were friezes depicting the “draftsmen” at their work. The dance proved worth while both socially and financially But last and greatest of the Association's events during the year, comes the annual banquet. It was held at the “Old Homestead” on Irondequoit Bay and the entire Association attended. In the afternoon an Upperclass-Freshmen baseball game was played with the former winning despite the efforts of the partial umpire. At six o'clock the men enjoyed the multi-course dinner. Air. Herbert Bohacket, Air. Lewis Brew and Air. John Wenrich, of the faculty, made short speeches and the former presidents as well as the new ones delivered a few words. After the meeting the men entertained themselves with cards and on the water It was a fitting climax to a successful year.

In the Fall of 1925 there was organized a social organization known as the M. L Retailers. Officers were elected and a committee appointed to draw up a constitution. Every student of the Retail Course is eligible to join this asso- ciation, the object of which is to create and promote enthusiasm and provide social activities. Early in each school year a party is held in order that the Freshmen and Upper Classmen may become better acquainted. In the Spring annual banquet is held. At various times during the year we have dinner, sleighride and theatre parties. These activities of the M. I.

An early start was made and meetings were held monthly. The speaker at each meeting was some well known member of the engineering profession. Movies, songs, stunts, and refreshments were also provided at each meeting, and judging by the large turn-outs and many pleasant faces seen, the meetings certainly were successful. Trips to power plants and to a telephone exchange were arranged for the members, and on these trips guides were provided for each group of seven members so that the trips were very instructive as well as interesting. The annual banquet concluded the activities of the E. S. A. for the year. This banquet was in the nature of a farewell party for the senior members. More than eighty were present at this banquet and with the various enter- tainments provided, was one of the big nights of the association’s year. -------- 1927 183 RAMIKIN The Henry Lomb Society The Henry Lomb Society, established in 191 6 and named for the founder of Mechanics Institute, is an Honorary Society whose purpose is the appreciation and encouragement of the highest type of citizenship exemplified by Captain Lomb.

Art Students A number of the students in the School of Applied Art have been distinguished as prize winners, both in national and local competitions, held during the present year. Three national awards were of particular note. One was the national com- petition for a design of silk to be used in neckties. Eight Schools of Art were invited to enter this competition and a total of 490 designs were submitted. John Barr, a Junior student in the Design Course was awarded second prize and Douglas Williams, a Freshman, one of ten smaller prizes. Designs by Louise Mason, Anthony Fabians and Charles Burnett were purchased by the Company because of their excellence. The second contest of national significance was that for drawings for a book of fifty Life Drawings, to be published by the Bridgeman Publishers of New York City, Art Schools from all sections of the country entered this com- petition and a great many drawings were submitted. Ralph Avery, a Junior student in the Illustration and Advertising Art Course, was awarded second prize; John Salvia, a Senior in Illustration, was given one of four selected honorable mentions, and Donald Buck and Kennard Harder, also Seniors in the Illustration Course, had drawings selected for publication. The third national event was the selection of a drawing by Ralph Avery, for use as a cover for the program of the Eastern Arts Association Convention whidris to be held in Philadelphia.

From the first practice all indications pointed to a complete team of veter- ans representing M.I. in basketball for every letter man of the 1925-26 team was in school and all reported for the initial practice call. These men were Capt. “Chuck” Baltzel, “Bud” Murray, Milt Punnett, “Red” Whitbourne and Knapp and it was these five men that Coach McKay sent against R.ll.I. in the season’s first game. A jinx which was destined to follow the team through the season was taken in tow during the first game when the M. I. quintet bowed before the R.B.I. tossers by a 17 to 20 count. After that game the jinx became more and more obnoxious and always made bis presences known. Knapp, feeling the pressing need for time, left the team and Coach McKay groomed Sam Steam to take his place. to register a 21 to 22 win and after that showing of the team the partially dis- couraged Air. Jinx left for parts unknown until after the team had played its third game. Rising to new heights and showing its real power for the first time during the season, the Mechanics players accomplished their greatest feat of the season and emerged from the game with Manlius Military Academy on the long end of a 32 to 29 score in the season's thriller of thrillers. This game upset all doj e and established Mechanics «as factor to be reckoned with in the bas- ketball world. After a short vacation the Jinx trailed back into the M.I. camp and asserted himself by driving Whitbourne from the game with a severely sprained ankle. This happened in Auburn but nevertheless the team showed up well and rolled up a 51 to 18 score at the expense of the Auburn Theological Seminary team. The game in Oswego with the State Normal School tossers was another catas- trophe and resulted in Oswego eking out a 21 to 19 win. 1927 RAMIKIN Basketball Season—Continued The loss of Whitbourne was followed by Steam leaving school, causing two vacancies for Coach McKay to fill. Proctor replaced Whitbourne at center while Baltzel was moved into Steam's placeat forward and Marshall replaced Baltzel in the backfield. This combination finished the season and made more than a creditable showing in the majority of the games. To attempt to give an account of each game would require much more space than is available and the foregoing has been written just to show the manner in which a veteran team was demolished and to enumerate a few of the obstacles w hich loomed in the path of Coach McKay during the season. Next to the victory over Manlius comes the two games won from R.B.I. in the first three-game series ever staged between the two schools. R.B.I. will in all probability assume the place left vacant by R.S.O s withdrawal from athletics as Mechanics' traditional rival. A hasty review of the season shows that of the six games lost� two were dropped by a margin of one point; one by a margin of twro points and two found the opponents winning by three points. The worst beating received was at the hands of ( anisius College in Buffalo w hen MX lost out, 31 to 22. Several one- sided victories were registered by Capt. Baltzel and his teammates; Auburn 'rheological bore the brunt of these with two defeats by scores of 51 to 18 and 61 to 16 respectively; Genesee Wesleyan Seminary was defeated decisively twice, 37 to 14 and 32 to 20. Considering the fact co-operative system and the lack of a gymnasium are big handicaps to basketball at Mechanics Institute, the 1926-27 team must be given credit for the great showing they made and the obstacles they overcame. The same applies even more so to Coach McKay w hile the efforts of Faculty Manager Harold Brody and Manager Robert Moore were also factors in the success of the season. IS!) RAMIKIN VAN WYXE I The 1926-27 Basketball Season Adrian Van Wyen Thomas Murray Frederick Proctor Capt. “Porky” was Soule’s little playmate dur- ing the past season and like Bob got into several games at var- ious times. His ap- pears nces in the reg- ular line-up were of- ten enough to con- vince the m o s t skeptical that he will be numbered among the first five men next season. One of the greatest argu- ments against bas- ketball is that only five men can play on a team and next year vve expect “Por- ky” to be one of the five on the M.I. quintet. Thomas, alias “Bud” will be lost to M.I. basketball through graduation this June, The season just closed was his third as a regular on the varsity and during all three of those years he led the team in point gathering, lie was captain of the 1925 - 26 team and led that team in two victories over R.S.O. “Bud's ser- vices will be sadly missed when the call for basketball candi- dates is issued next winter. This elongated youth hied himself from Canastota, X. Y.„ just in time to land a berth on the Var- sity and to make himself generally use- ful to Coach McKay. He filled Whit- bournes shoes cap- ably at center and finished the season just below Murray in total points collected during the season. He has been elected to lead the 1927-28 team, which proves that his teammates have confidence in his ability as a bas- ket tosser. Charles Baltzel “Chuck, as he is more co m m o n I v known, not only led the team during the past season but also proved himself a ver- satile basketeer by moving from guard —his regular posi- tion, to forward with- out materially af- fecting his style of play. He finished third a m o n g the scorers during the season and should do even better in the year he still has be- fore him The 1926- 27 season was his second as regular member of the M.I. team. 1927 HO I RAMIKIN ——- 1927 --------------- ■..-J MARSHALL WHITBOURNE PUNNETT SOULE The 1926-27 Basketball Season Howard Marshall After trailing along as a substitute Mar- shall broke into the limelight in mid-sea- son and earned a regular berth for him- self as Pun nett’s playmate in Coach McKay’s backfield. With two seasons yet ahead of him, Marshall has plenty of time to break into stardom and will no doubt do so before completing his ca- reer at Mechanics. -James Whitbourne “Red,” until he sprained his ankle and generally dis- abled himself for the balance of the sea- son, was the center on the varsity for the second consecu- tive year. However, with another year yet to go “Red is expected to get back into the harness and make up for what he missed during the 1936-37 season. Milton Punnett “Milt, the Art School's main con- tribution to M, I. basketball, has played his last game for Mechanics, the season past having been his third as a member of the var- sity quintet. 1 le holds the distinction of having Captained an M.I. team in his Frosh year, 1934-35. Milt was a guard and played a great game all three years that he wore the Blue and Grey of M.I. Robert Soule “Bob” was one of Coach McKay's few reserves ami though he did not get many chances to show his wares we are sure that he possessed plenty of basketball ability; he proved that contention in the few games in which he did appear. “Bob” has a couple of years ahead of him and will probably be one of the mainstays of the team next season. 141 RAMIKIN Recapitulation of Season TEAM'S RECORD Mechanics 17 Rochester Business Inst. . . 20 Mechanics . 41 U. of Rochester Frosh . 22 Mechanics . 34 Manlius Military Academy . 29 Mechanics . 51 Auburn Theo.

It is doubtful if any inter-fraternal game at Mechanics Institute ever aroused more interest than this year's battle between the Chi Delts and Chi Eps, Weeks before the date set for the game found both organizations prepar- ing for the game of games. And w hat a game it was. Not until the final whistle had sounded was anyone sure which team would return victorious though the Chi Delts maintained a slim lead practically all of the way. Previous to the Mardi Gras battle the Chi Delt quintet had met with only indifferent success winning some games and losing others. The “Irish Kids” eked out a 24 to 22 win; the Hubbell Class of the First Baptist Church was defeated twice, 26 to 10, and 32 to 30, and the Epiphany quintet received a 30 to 21 set-back. The complete statistics of the season are not available but the Chi Delts freely admit that several games were lost. The only game which really matters has been briefly reviewed above—Chi Delta Phi 22, Chi Epsilon Phi 17. That tells the story of the season except to mention the men who so successfully defended the honor of the fraternity in the titular struggle; they were: Forward -Warner, Fox Guard—Seeley Forward—Atwell, Cleary Guard—(’aft.

The team’s host of supporters unite in extending to Coach Milt” Punnett the warmest thanks and appreciation for his work in training the squad. Captain Blake Gratton deserves much praise for leading his teammates through the season. Captain Blake has been a steady player on both the offensive and defensive which he exhibited in the Inter-fraternal games. The Chi Bp’s wish to express their sincere thanks to Manager Raymond ('onion, better known as “Rae,” for his successful guidance of the team and who is leaving through the graduation route. The Chi Ep’s after their last minute spurt to win over the Phi Sigma Phi felt very keenly the loss at the hands of the Chi Delta Phi in the annual Inter- fraternal championship game. The game was well played and fine sportsman- ship was exhibited by both teams. To the Chi Delta Phi fraternity the Chi Ep’s tender their congratulations for the clean cut victory of 22-17. To all members of the Chi Epsilon Phi basketball team, we extend our heartiest congratulations for their enthusiasm and fine sportsmanship.

The defeat at the hands of the Chi Epsilon Phi quintet in the elimination game to determine which would meet the Chi Delta Phi team for the championship resulted in the Phi Sigs being eliminated. The game with the Chi Kps was the high spot of the season and was a closely contested game as the final score, $3 to 21 proves.

However, this is not a plea for protection. Participants learn to protect themselves. All this infant needs is exercise, and it has been given enough of that since March first to set it well along the road to a robust youth. The product of this new industry is HEALTH and WINNING TEAMS. The three work periods during this semester have brought to the gymnasium full quotas of men to make use of the equipment put in as a starter by the Student Council. Mats, gloves, punching bag, sandbags, and medicine balls have been in use snap-up to closing time during every work period. The Insti- tute has met the Council half way by installing a system of shower baths and lockers. Wrestling and boxing as activities were launched early in March under the godfathership of Mark Ellingson of the faculty of the School of Industrial Arts. Mr. Ellingson is supervisor of the new activity and coaches the wrestlers. He lias been assisted by Fred Blair, Junior Mechanical and well-known Roch- ester amateur ring artist, who coaches boxing. “Prospects for a good wrestling team for next year are exceptionally bright, says Mr. Ellingson. “Before the season was underway a month excellent ma- terial in the several classes had shown up. With a reasonable enlargement of equipment and schedule of practices we should give every man in the Institute an opportunity to keep physically fit for his school work and also develop teams of which the school will he proud. This new activity is peculiarly well fitted to the needs of the cooperative students and the men from the School of Applied Arts. It can be carried on successfully with the gymnasium facilities in the school. Then the men can come in individually and fit their exercise periods with their work and study schedules. During the present semester the wrestlers and boxers have met Monday and Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons. It is hoped that beginning next September two afternoon periods may be added to enable the facilities to accommodate all and to make it possible for men both on work shifts and school shifts to get two or three good work-outs each week. 1927 14f RAMIKIN 147 — RAMIKIN TOBEY HOLLIDAY STAUD SERGENT ANDREWS CHASE BARREN BURG SI DELL DODGE WILLETT SCHUTT SMITH DALY FURNALD ALMY K ON IN SKY WISHART BYE G.

And you, gentle reader, probably hope it will be the last. But, be all that as it may, we, like most editors, have a purpose which we hope to accomplish. Our aim in presenting this. The Nikimar, a parody on the Ramikin itself, is to fill the demand for humor within the covers of the Ram- ikin. If we have succeeded to any extent we are more than thankful, if not, we are sorry. In presenting our alleged humor in this form we believe we have injected something new into the Ramikin and have instituted an innovation which may be developed to a greater extent in future years. That's that. We hope none of our so-called jokes will be taken too seriously and that they will be accepted in the spirit in which they are intended. If there is anyone who hasn't solved the mystery of the Nikimar, we take this opportunity to tell him that it is merely Ramikin spelled backwards. To avoid further conf usion in paying rewards to those who have successfully solved the mystery, we wish to state that the Business Manager is temporarily out of million dollar bills and is forced to postpone further payments of rewards until some Tuesday in August.

Purpose of organization? Yes, the founders did have a purpose but even our oldest brother can not recall just what that purpose was. However, according to precedent it seems that the ideals of the founders was for something or other. Anyway it don’t make any different to you, kind reader. But what we were about to say was—O, yes, we were about to review our social activities of the year. We had several wide open dances, some that were not so open and a few closed ones. The crowning event of the year, however, was the spaghetti supper which was held in Durant-Eastman Park. Had it not been for the fact that several of the Brothers hung themselves trying to eat the spaghetti, the occasion would have been rather listless. As it was the evening passed all too rapidly while some of the boys passed-out even sooner than the evening. Nevertheless it was an event long to be remembered by all who had the good fortune to survive. Next year we hope to accomplish even greater things, such as washing a herd of elephants, or some other task of equal magnitude. - 1927 157 RAMIKIN A Review of the Alleged Basketball Season The 1026-37 basketball season got underway ear- ly in September when about 40 Football candi- dates reported to Coach Whozit. Throughout the pre-season training per- iod there was a notice- able scarcity of material, the squad having decreased in size from the original 40 to a mere 157, IJut, however, and regardless of the dirth of material, Coach Whozit sent a well grilled team onto the diamond to meet the Dorchester Institute of Busi- ness sextet. The game opened with Machine-ics breaking and Capt. Glutz drove the cue-ball clean through the cushion for the first score of the season. The game ended with our players still waiting for a chance to go to bat. The second game w as rolled on the Palace Alleys in Kalamazoo and resulted in Machine-ics Inst, bidding three no-trump and being doubled by their oppo- nents, However, the hidden ball trick was used with great success and our wearers of the Black and Blue were awarded a technical knockout, A drop kick from a sand trap on the 17th green gave Machine-ics a 47 to 8:5 victory over the Allez Oop College of Gymnastic’s strong duct in the third game of the season. This game was played in the Jail Bowl and was featured by the remarkable serving and clever pole vaulting of Boob Sewer, w ho was the outstanding star of the game. For the fourth game our squad was forced to travel by blimp to Nome where they met the strong All-Eskimaux warriors in one of the fiercest games in the annals of intercollegiate chess. Opening with left jabs and thrusts off tackle, our team piled up a commanding lead in the first ehukker and was leading, ii up and two to go at the end of the third set. On the return trip from Nome the team stopped off at Tampa, Fla,, where they defeated the fast Horticultural University quintet, falls to 2, A clever hammerlock coupled with two foul points by Amos McGlush gave our team its winning margin. The fifth and final battle of the year was the annual tussle w ith the repre- sentatives of Blaah School of Facial Uplifting. Timely hitting, scintillating end runs, four cushion billiards, nicely placed drives, fine dribbling, deceptive feinting and what-not to no end, marked the play of Coach WhoziUs proteges in this, the season’s classic. An error of judgment coupled with an impossible split, handicapped our men at the start but their determination was not so easily dampened and they emerged from the ring, w ith three watches, nine chairs, two laundry signs, to say nothing of victory, cleverly concealed on their persons. All in all the season was a great success from every point of view and the only regret of the students of Machine-ics Institute is that their prestige can not be extended to other branches of sport, as well as basketball. 1927 158 - RAMIKIN “Dorm Gossip Name Presen i 0 ec u pat io n Future Helen Alpaugh Milking History of Painting and Sculpture Note Book Lecturer on History P S.

And as Norristone gains in beauty with the pass- ing of years—and stands time’s test best—it is today being employed more than ever in the construction of beautiful buildings of every description.
