Lafffitn As the tree looks up to the mountain, and the mountain lookt up to the sky; so wet who have reached minor heights seek INSPIRATION in lifting our thoughts to horizons beyond. J. Btnntrr As it is possible for a beautiful tree to reach the sunlight through the cliffs; so does AMBITION make possible man's desire for happiness.

Btftrttlt As the sun reaching through the dark forest glorifies the strength and stateliness of the young sapling; so does TRUTH seek and draw a man upward to new visions and hopes. FOREWORD In presenting this, the eighteenth edition of the Ramikin we have selected a dominant characteristic from each division of our interests attempting to portray them in an inspirational manner. This book has been made possible through the efforts of Faculty members, students, and alumni exercising the ideals offered. May there be a true equation between the efforts of members of the staff and the pleasures derived by the readers of this edition. J. BtttHtT As the rock holds the tree firm in blasting winds even after the soil has been washed away; so HONOR holds a man firm in adversity, though friends and fortune are lost to him. DIDICATION To the Alumni of Mechanics Institute, who have won their place in life, establishing the reality of our ideals, do we, the senior class, in due respect, dedicate this volume. c Lafcnrn The culmination of man's progress is the realization of IDEALS; in which man and nature are one. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Fame PART I Leadership PART II Growth PART III Cooperation PART IV Sportsmanship PART V Brotherhood PART VI Originality PART VII Opportunity Jt. Lord As the “Old Stove Face established the standard of a perfect man, so mast distinguished alumni determine the ideal ' ‘FAME for those who come after. PROLOGUE Vl 0 n tX tJ vo n S3 9 (3 Prologue Fortunately there are leaders in every field of endeavor. Unfortunately all cannot realize their ideals therefore in all humbleness and respect do those of the mediocre acknowledge the superb efficiency of others. These few pages are devoted to men who have proved the possibility of the reali- zation of Ideals. As Alumni of Mechanics Institute, they graciously consented, in all modesty, to permit us to tell a short precise story of their careers, and in certainity, we are most grateful to them. In their lives are incorporated the outlines of all that is good and fine, all that is possible and probable, and all that is offered to a graduate of Mechanics Institute. We know that there are others that are most worthy of recognition that these pages offer. We regret that time and space did not permit a further development of our alumni section. Also may wre state that there were others with whom we com- municated that found it impossible to send us the necessary information and material. N1NETEIAJHVNDRE D • TWENTY-NTNE 9 RAM IKIN - Elmer R. Lapp Art Director—H, C. Goodwin Inc. Rochester New York Mechanics Institute 1908 Art Students League and under William Starkweather. After being graduated from Mechanics Institute, Mr. Lapp worked for some years with a local artist and then decided New York needed him. He studied at the Art Students League and under William Starkweather. He became connected with the Art Department of the Famous Players Lasky Moving Picture Corporation, In a short time he became Art Director of the H. C.

Just before going to New York he met Miss Marjorie Hicks, who studied at the Frank Albah Parsons school in New York, and later became Mrs. Lapp. Mrs. Lapp has been very active in the field of advertising. She is the only Rochester artist who has been invited for three times to submit her originals in the National Exhibition, which is held in the Art Director s Club in New York. Mr. and Mrs. Lapp have collaborated a great deal in their drawings. In 1912. they went to Brittany together for a period of painting the peasants and country with a group organized by George Elmer Brown, landscapist. We are happy and proud to have Mr. Lapp for a nearby neighbor. 7A n Lewis A.

N1NETEEN HVNDRED - TWENTY NINE 11 Charles Livingston Bull Oradell, New Jersey Charles Livingston Bull, a famous artist, and highly esteemed in the hearts of Me- chanics Institute students, is a graduate of our own school. He is an artist and il- lustrate for many magazines. Mr. Bull is nationally known as an illustrator of wild animals, and his works are constantly being produced. The 192.8-2.9 Who’s Who mentions this eminent man, and our Alma Mater is proud to claim him. Mr. Bull is associated with the following organizations; New York Water Color Club Salmagundi Club National Arts Club Mural Painters Architectural League Society of Illustrations American Ornothologist Union American Forestry Association Society of Mammologists There is probably not one Mechanics Institute art student who would not be happy and proud to follow in the footsteps of this famous allumnus. We as students honor him. N1NETXENHVNPREP� TWENTY-N INI Clayton Knight New York City Clayton Knight, who makes a specialty of drawings of airplanes and air activities feels that he is one of the war profiteers. Although he was making and selling draw- ings after studying at the Mechanics Institute and University of Chicago, it was not until after his war experiences that he felt that he had something to put on paper except technical proficiency. As a member of the American Expeditionary Force he received his flying training in England and was sent to France with a British Squad- ron and did all his fighting with them. During the months he spent in German, Bel- gian, French, English and American hospitals, while his wounds healed, he had ample time to make notes on paper that have since been invaluable as references. When “War Birds-the diary of an Unknown Aviator” was published, he, asoneofthe group whose story it was, did the drawings and has since made flying pictures for “The Red Knight of Germany,” and for numerous stories by Elliott White Springs, Lester Maitland and other aeronautical writers. He is also the author of a book for boys, just published The Non-Stop Stowaway” illustrated with many drawings in color and black and white. NlNETEEN-HVNPRED-TWENTY NrNECj r i S): 13 Mr. C. J. McCarthy New York City Mechanics Institute Art Students League. Mr. C. J. McCarthy, at present of New York City, was born in Rochester. He was educated here including studies in Art at Mechanics Institute. After completing the course here, Mr. McCarthy went to New York and studied for three years at the Art Students League. During this period he studied under F. Lewis Mora, Robert Henri, and F. R. Gruger. He became engaged in Magazine Illustration thru which medium his outstanding works have been acknowledged. His sketches and paintings appear in the Cos- mopolitan, Saturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal, Pictorial Review, Red Book, and other well known magazines. 4 H. J. Butler H. J. Butler and Company, Inc. New York City Mechanics Institute jqoo-i 900-1903 H. J. Butler, a present popular artist in New York City, was formerly an instructor in Design at M.I. Mr, Butler was a student in evening classes at Rochester Athenaeum before the present Institute was built. He was an assistant instructor in Design from 1904-1906 and an instructor from 1906-1917, from that time to the present he has been engaged in design and execution of Ecclesiastical Decoration and Stained Glass. Mr. Butler has made the stained glass and decorated many of the churches in and around Rochester. At this time some of his important commissions are: Furnishing, Decoration and Stained Glass windows for S. S. Peter and Paul, Ho- boken, N. J. Recently he completed decorations for Our Lady of Lourdes Church and St. Agnes Church, both in New York City. This is only a very small portion of the amount of work Mr. Butler does and all is an example of his supremeness and capability. N INETEEN-HVNPRE D - TWENTY-NTNE J.

Ready to meet the next! As the class of 192.9 leaves the Alma Mater, it is with regret and pleasure that we look back upon the years spent under its supervision. The class has met with success in ventures, scholastic, athletic and social, for while mere Freshmen we contributed to the basket- ball squad, and had a Freshman party. Then during our Junior year our achievement was greater than ever for didn’t we put on the best Junior Prom that has been seen to date?

President Vice President Secretary Treasurer One of the most successful years that Mechanics Institute has experienced was this year 1918-1919. It is the student body that makes any school, and one of the reasons for the above statement is the Junior class. Our class has been foremost in studies, school activities, and athletics We have served our Alma Mater faithfully. Our reward comes in realizing this after a comparison with the records of others. We began in our Freshman year. Our social events, scholastic accomplishments, and our whole hearted interest in the welfare of the Institute proclaimed that as Juniors we would do even greater deeds. Our class has been known for its sportsmanship, having followed traditions and submitted to punishments for our occasional failings without rebellion. In all we are proud of our status at Mechanics Institute and are sure that another triumphant year awaits us as Seniors. NfN.

Faculty Advisor One of the major developments of the year, as far as the student body is concerned, is the coming of the Psimar. This undergraduate publication has filled what has been a conspicuous gap at Mechanics Institute. By providing a means of expression for student opinion, it has served to dear up many a misunderstanding and prejudice; it is to be hoped that this good work will be continued. The first few issues were a financial loss, but now, thanks to good management, the paper is self supporting. The Institute at various times has had a student publication, but not of such a per- manent nature as the Psimar bids fair to be. NINLTKEN-HVNPRED-TWLNTY Nmi- Si Henry Lomb Association In 1916 a group of faculty members met and drafted the constitution and by-laws, for an organization which was named, The Henry Lomb Society. This was the beginning of the Honorary Society of the School. It was named after Captain Henry Lomb, the founder of Mechanics Institute. The purpose of the Society is to develop the ap- preciation and encouragement of unselfish service, high ideals and devotion to true citizenship and community interests. These characteristics were especially con- spicious in the life of Captain Henry Lomb and the society was formed to recognize and inspire fidelity to these attributes. Seniors are elected to membership on the basis of scholarship, personality and interest in participation in student activities.

D Alumni Association Mr. Floyd Halsted Miss Loretta McCarthy Mr. Stewart Gordon Mr. Harold S Beal President Vice- President Secretary Tre usurer The Alumni Association of Mechanics Institute is composed of graduates and other former students who have taken a considerable amount of work. The organization aims to foster good will to maintain contracts with alumni, to disseminate infor- mation concerning the Institute and its alumni, in short to provide a perpetual bond between alumni as individuals and between the school and alumni as a group. To accomplish these purposes the Association holds an annual banquet and reunion at which old friendships are renewed and old enthusiasms rekindled. Several times a year the Association publishes a news letter which is sent to all alumni whose addresses are known. At present about two thousand five hundred receive them. Those news letters help to maintain the bond of loyalty to the alma mater. The Association has a gradually growing fund which someday may achieve proportions which will enable the organization to do something really big. Every class which goes out from the institute adds to our loyal band of alumni who, through their interest, add to the strength of the Association, both financially and otherwise. The Alumni Association was formed about a decade and a half ago. During its life it has shown itself a potential power for good and a real force in the life of the Institute and its graduates. 8} Jordan Klinke Gridley Palmer White Jeffers Mycrhoff Snell Vogan Schneckle Jensen Brooks Palmer R.

G. Culver Mr. Milton Bond Faculty Advisor Dramatic Director The Art League was organized twenty-five years ago for the purpose of carrying on the ideals of art formed in the classroom. All art students are eligible for membership. Although many of the events sponsored by the Art League pertain to social activities, the organization is also very much interested in dramatics. “Aladdin” was given a hearty support when it was presented several years ago. Last fall Shakespeare’s ‘‘Macbeth’’ was given on an out of town engagement. This year “Aladdin” was again presented under the directon of Mr. Bond, A cast of seventy took part. The students were called upon to use their ingenuity in building stages, painting scenery, and making costumes, all of the many requirements of a theatrical production. The masquerade, which has become an annual event, offered an opportunity for individual expression in costumes. Every Christmas the faculty and students enjoy a delightful afternoon with Santa Claus, a tree, presents and entertainment. General poster contests are always sponsored by the Art League to stimulate friendly rivalry among the members. A prize was offered each week for the best sketch made at the Tuesday nite sketch class. With the increased membership and the interest displayed, one can not help but realize that this has been a very successful year for the Art League.

An agreement was made this year with the Mechanical Students’ Association whereby meetings of both organizations arc to be open to members of either society. Members of various other Industrial Arts Associations are admitted as associate members. The first meeting of the year demonstrated by the unusually large attendance that interest was not lacking. At this meeting several faculty members and former stu- dents gave talks on school activities and their place in school life. The program committee has provided, without exception, the unusual in the form of new and novel ideas for lectures, music, stunts, and eats. Their efforts have resulted in well balanced, pleasing, and instructive programs. Following the custom of former years, well known engineers, representing the various Electrical Companies, were secured as speakers. Among those contributing their efforts were; Weston Electrical Instrument Corporation, General Electric Company, Rochester Telephone Company, Rochester Gas and Electric Company, Rochester Electric Products Com- pany, and the American Laundry Machine Company. Inspection trips were made to several of these companies located in this vicinity. The address given by Professor Lincoln, Director of the School of Electrical Engineering at Cornell and past President of the A.I.E. was of special interest. The annual banquet, at which the officers for the coming year were elected, cli- maxed a most successful year.

It was discontinued in nineteen hundred twenty-six but was revived in nineteen hundred twenty-eight, due largely to the efforts of Herbert Case the president. Regular monthly meetings were held, and inspection trips were conducted throughout various plants of Rochester. This year has been most successful. Several dinner meetings have been carried out with much popularity. Motion pictures of oxy-acetylene welding and of Einstein’s theory of Relativity have been shown. The group enjoyed hearing Mr. Little of the Gas and Electric Company at one of their meetings. There is every reason to believe that the next year will prove as successful as this. IIV, ss Jeffers M.

Each fall saw a few more freshmen enrolled in the new course until the fall of nineteen hundred twenty five when twelve were enrolled. A little later in the year it was decided that an organization be formed for retailers. This was accomplished and the constitution drawn up. This did much to promote good fellowship between the students of the retail course, and brought them closer together. During that year the activities consisted of a freshman party, a sleigh ride, several parties and dances. The next year and the following saw much the same program carried out except at the end of each year when a dinner dance closed the social season for the retailers. This year the organization carried its activities farther when it held its first bargain dance in Bevier Hall, where everyone was invited to attend for the bargain price of ninety nine cents. This dance was considered a great success and will be on the school’s social calendar for nineteen hundred thirty. The dinner dance this year will close the social season for retailers and a good time is in store for everyone. NINtTLEN-m DRtD-TWlNTY-M (X !?TT C)- A.

ACTIVITIES Henry Beiderbecke, Manarer Robert McKay, Coach Harold Brod'C, Faculty Manager The 192.8-192.9 Basketball Season Early in the school year it was evident that practically all the old men found it impossible to come out for the team, with the exception of two men from last year, Pete McKay, the coach, soon had the squad in good running order. The team must be given credit for the work they have accomplished considering that most of the team play after working hours and that the team is composed of nearly all new material. Credit must be given also to Coach McKay for his efforts in training the team to its level of perfection. Faculty Manager, Harold Brodie, and Manager Henry Beiderbecke must be applauded for their endeavors to promote the games and help bring success to the team. NINFTEEN-m DRF.D- CUDDEBACK CUDDEBACK Samuel Cuddeback, the big framed man from Lyons, where he did his stuff before coming to Mechanics and proved to be a capable captain and all around basketball player. He made a per- manent place for himself on the team in his fresh- man year showing his true value. Sam seems to be the inspiration of the team, for when Scudde went good the whole team played better. Cud- deback had the honor of being reelected as captain for the 1919-30 season. We are expecting great things of you for next year, Sam NINETEEN-HVNDRLD-TWENTY-NTNE itf t )- DUBOIS DU BOIS Stewart Du Bois better knosvn as Dubby came from Draper High. He landed a guard position early in the season and proved his worth to the team. Dubby is a very hard worker and may the next two years at Mechan- ics Institute bring him much success. MOYSE MOYSE Flaying his first season with the Blue and Gray RED” turned in some nice games before the final whistle blew to of- ficially close the 1919 court campaign. When- ever Red wras injected into the lineup he took plenty of pep and fight with him and is the type of player who never ad- mits the game is lost till it’s over. STALEY STALEY Geneseo High gave us this gift to basketball. Art is among those who started in new -with the blue and gray this year. Staley is a guard and an excellent one. It can be truly said that his op- ponents got very few points while Staley play- ed. Art expects to be with us for two more years so the fans will have the opportunity of seeing this fellow frequently in action the coming seasons. SWAYZE Swayze is one of the quiet sort of fellows that never says anything if they don’t have to. Al- ways calm and cool in the midst of any thing. He is a very deliberare player and a good guard. This is his first year with the team and as he has two more to go we hope to see Swayze turn out to be one of the best players, and grab a regular berth with the team. Go to it old kid. NlNETEEN-HVNDRRD TWINTY T EQC T g V) VAN WYNE CORYELL DONAHUE VAN WYNE Good old “Pork as he is commonly known. Early in the season we thought he would be un- able to play, but he show- ed up for the second game and every one after that. Pork is the only man on the team that has played for three years and we lose him thru the grad- uation route this year. Van Wyne proved to be a versatile tosser of the basket ball as he played a great game as forward and center and could hold his own in the back court. Mechanics will never forget what Pork meant to basketball. CORYELL Coryell, that tall long geared individual that has made such a wonder- ful center, came to Me- chanics from John Mar- shall where he showed up with credit. Corvell has made a great center and also plays a great game as guard when Van Wyne takes the position of center. We expect Cory- ell to be back with us next year and help make up a veteran team. DONAHUE Eugene Donahue known to all his friends as “Donny hails from Greigsville High School. Although he didn't play regular on the team his lankiness has proved to be a big help at center and forward positions. Don- ny has two more years at Mechanics Institute. So high hopes are held for him. 97 Mechanics Institute • 51 Auburn Seminary ■ ■ 17 Mechanics Institute • 2.9 Lima Seminary • 2.5 Mechanics Institute • 17 Geneseo Normal . . 18 Mechanics Institute • Buffalo State •. 2.7 Mechanics Institute , . 2.2.

Members of the team have won thru their abilities the right to partake in meets at several distant out of town points. The enthusiasm displayed by the student body and their support at the home games helped to make this year typical. Much credit is given to Mr, Mark Ellingson, the Coach for his sincere efforts and capability; together with spirit of the game that he instilled into the members of the team. Appreciation is extended to the Faculty Manager, Mr. Sherman Hagberg. The members of the team will not forget their true friend Captain William Stinson. NINETEEN-HVNDRED-TWINTY NINE KENT Bob showed us a few things this year and may- be you think he won't be a wow next year. He looked best against Sad- ler of Alfred whom he pinned in a hurry. He won the praise of the whole school in the Chicago match by his gameness and pluck when against a more experienced man. He did some nice work in the St. Lawrence match pinned his man several times but for some reason the referee didn't choose and Bob finally lost. Watch Bob next year. CALA Charlie is another of our big guns. A fine gentleman on and off the mat a sportsman always. Charlie went tight thru to the last match unde- feated but when he lost a very close decision that was his bit of hard luck. We like to see Charlie on the mat, he is always in condition and puts up a good scrap. He showed up well in every match and we expect great things of him next year. KENT CALA VAN EMMERICE VAN EMERICK Dutch gave us some very interesting matches this year and showed up well against some very good men. Though he lost to Sonderby of Chica- go he gave chat individ- ual some very bad mo- ments. He won nicely against St. Lawrence in his last match and he won in nice fashion at the Brooklyn match, Dutch came out late in the sea- son and was in the last four regular matches, he broke even, winning and losing two. He nearly beat Bryant of Alfred but lost in the last few se- conds. We will miss Dutch on the ream next year. Every one likes Dutch and how he and Pork separated them- selves long enough to get in different sports is what we can’t figure out. DUDLEY Cy started out the season as a heavy weight, but he soon got into the 175 pound class and made a good showing. As a heavyweight he pinned Bryant of Alfred but lost the match. In the lighter class, of course his best was when he put the Chicago man down in the last few seconds of a thrilling match. We will never forget that Cy helped pull us thru in the biggest athletic event ever held by a Mechanics Institute team. r T NINtTfcLN-irVNDRED-TWINTY TNE(S it jai - WHITNEY STINSON BONFIGLIO STELLJES WHITNEY Whit wasn't in the early matches this year but when he did get started O! He seems to invent holds as he goes along much to the dis- comfort of every man he meets. Against all his opponents he was incom- parable. Usually a quiet boy he got rough with Kolodjiez of Chicago and hurt him. What we would like to know is what the joke was be- tween him and Page of St. Larries. Whit will be back next year but we will have to tie one hand in order to get matches me thinks. STINSON Weil the town bullie has developed into quite a wrestler and has been an able leader of our team thru a very successful season. Bill pulled thru in nice fashion against all the teams that we met. His prettiest piece of wrestling was when he pinned his little play- mate from Alfred, San- chez. It was tough that this match was away tho despite those several pounds of whiskers he showed up nicely in the Brooklyn match, Bill can lose as well as win. This he showed us in the Chicago match. He fin- ished up the season with a nice win over Pel ton of St. Lawrence. Hats off to you Bill, a real sport, on or off the mat. BONFIGLIO Charlie sure showed us some beautiful wrest- ling this year and we will miss him next year. He has done a lot toward putting our school on the athletic map. He has met some of the toughest op- position available and still was defeated but once in nine matches. In the practice matches it was obvious that we had a real rip roaring curtain raiser on our team. When we started knocking the big boys we always had our points from ‘Bon- nie” to start on. His only loss of the year was to Winning of Chicago and Winning had his hands full at that. Bon- nie was at his best when he pinned D'Elia of Al- fred although it didn't take him long to give Nusbaum a ride. STELLJES Well in this cage we have the original Bone crusher, Blusher extra- ordinary and Jasc of all, basketball player. Stell- didn’t lose a match this year and he sure met some tough boys. We would give four cents and an October edition of the Psimar if we could see Stelljcs and Orderheimer of Brooklyn wrestle a- gain. It would be hard to say against what man he did show up best, guess it was Clark. Stell- jes has a great personal desire to pin the coach someday. He may who knows? Gomer always brings the crowd to their feet in every match. And to think that he will be back next year! N1NETEEN-HVNPREP- TWENTY-NINE IOI ®«EXS� S3HEBRAM IKIN ' W MATCHES Mechanics Institute. .

The schedule mapped out by Manager Dwyer called for games in Shortsville, Macedon, Greece, and Lima as well as with local teams. The Chi Ep quintet won the ma jority of games from all reports. After many weeks of training and practices, the eve of the Phi Sig was confidently hailed. The Chi Eps took an early lead, but when the whistle blew the Phi Sigs were the winners of a closely contested game. The Chi Eps congratulate the Phi Sigs on their clean cut play and their right to play in the Mardi Gras. The Phi Sig game tolled the final note for four veterans, Glenn Herman, Norman Collister, Dutch Van Emmerik, and Edie Dwyer. Too much credit cannot be given Coach Penfieid for his work in directing and coaching the team. Glenn Herman and Edward Dwyer were awarded the coveted basketball emblems, as an appreciation for their participation in basketball during their fraternity career. The members of the team deserve much praise for their fine spirit and sportsmanship through out the entire season.

The boys were outclassed in the Mardi Gras game with the Chi Delta Phi’s, the champions, but gave their best. The team was managed by Paul Ellis and was captained by Fred Forester.

Brown Gltnn Nelson French Sullivan Van Emmerik Niver Macintosh Inter-Fraternal Council The three fraternities at Mechanics Institute are organizations which offer oppor- tunities to form friendships through social and business relationship that are lasting throughout life. Phi Sigma Phi is the oldest fraternity at the Institute being founded in 1901. Chi Delta Phi was the next to come into existence in 1914 under the name of Delta Delta. The year 1911 yielded our youngest fraternity Chi Epsilon Phi. It is essential that a spirit of good fellowship exist among the three fraternities, so each year three representatives are elected from the fraternities, to what is known as the Inter-Fraternal Council. The specific duties of the council are to regulate rushing, rush parties, initiations, and all questions of interfraternai interest. The outstanding event of the year, known to 11s as the Mardi Gras, is managed entirely by the council. At this time the question of basketball supremacy among the fraternities is settled. The Inter-Fraternal Council has operated very efficiently since 192.2., the year in which it was founded, and has made fraternity relationship an honor to the Institute.

One year later the letters were changed to Chi Phi and in 1910 they were again changed, this time to Chi Delta Phi. Chi Delta Phi has enjoyed a very successful year, socially and in athletics. Three informal parties were held in Bevier Hall. The Balloon Dance proved to be the out- standing informal party of the year. The social season was terminated with the Annu- al Spring Dance, May 3, held in the Pompeian Room of the Hotel Seneca. The fraternity basketball team also had a successful season, winning nine out of twelve games played. The team closed the season by winning from the Phi Sigs at the Mardi Gras, thus winning the Interfraternal Championship for the seventh straight year. hi Yaw Canty Chamberlain Van Emmerik Brawn Van Anrwerp Van Wyen Roach Ash Hooker Minard Parmiter Eaton Greene Smith Ball Lett Norrh Baylsis Lord Morris Cull Craig Clark Minev Coe Jones Frisby Irving Hall Biedcrbecke Duane French Dodge Penfield Broadbrooks Nelson Dwyer Col lister Waiter Woodworth Auer Chi Epsilon Phi FRATRES HONORARI IN FACULTATE Ralph H.

Early in nineteen hundred twenty-six the fraternity moved into rooms on Main Street. This made a desire for a house stronger than ever, and the next year found the brothers living at No. 131 South Fitzhugh Street. This venture was successful and early in October the fraternity moved to its present location at No. 84 Plymouth Avenue South, The next step was to elect a steward and start the dinner club which has been enjoyed throughout the past year. In the fall of nineteen hundred twenty-nine Dr. John J. Lawrence was elected to our fraternity as Honorary Chaplain. This has been the wish of the brothers for some time. This year the Interfraternal Council installed a new order of pledging. Rushing season is not terminated until late in the fall previous to which date no men are al- lowed to be pledged. The period of probation is then established by each fraternity. Our period of probation extends to April, at which time the pledge becomes a member. The delegation for this year was taken in by this method. Chi Epsilon Phi requires a high scholastic standard. Thus a long pledge period is required to establish this standard. The social season opened with the annual “Joe College’’ dance and open house on October nineteenth. This dance was a success as it has been for the past three years. The next two events were closed dances held at the house for the brothers, pledges and their friends. The social season was closed with the annual dinner dance for members and friends.

In the twenty-eight years that have gone by since then there have been over two hundred members graduated from its ranks. These men have entered the greater business of life enriched by the associations and fraternal spirit gained from their years spent at M.I. and their membership in Phi Sigma Phi. The fraternity is proud of it’s alumni and wishes them still greater success and happi- ness in the future. Unfortunately space does not permit us to record the achievements of each one and we must be content to make mention of but a few. In the beginning there were six charter members. It is to be regretted that we have not at this time a complete record of these men. Jacob Goldstein, a charter member, was our first president. At present Mr. Goldstein is engaged in the wholesale novelty business in this city. Geo. R. Moses, who died 111 1909 was also one of our earliest members. The Messers Forest Couch and Porter Ackerman are in Rochester. Emery Long now lives in Painted Post, N. Y,, W. G. Staudenmaier, a lawyer, is located in the Powers Building. Carl Schlegel is an active member of the Schlegel Mfg. Company of this city. Herman Martin, present Director of Evening School, was elected an honorary member in 1908. Osborne Gurney is now a patent attorney in Rochester. Jay Cole is Maintenance Superintendent of Batavia High Schools. Edward Roberts is Director of Practical Arts on rhe Board of Education for Rochester, while E. Snyder is principal of John Marshall High School of this city and Cliff McNaught is now Supervisor of Vocational Schools for Elmira, N. Y. Norman Schlegel is also an active member of the Schlegel Manufacturing Company of this city. Charles Chap- man is teaching Manual Training in Niagara Falls, N. Y. Allan Eggleston, Coudersport, Pa. and Frank Brink, Holland, N. Y. made the supreme sacrifice during the World War. Ralph Cogswell now teaches drafting at East High School, He was president of the Senior Class of 1916. Frank Dunn is with the Seneca Gas Co. of Rochester, Walter Willis is Boys’ Adviser at Monroe Junior High. In 1918 due to the War there were only five active members in the fraternity. One of these, Merton Edgecumb, was overseas, and is now a patient in a soldier's sanatar- ium at Tupper Lake, N, Y. Mr. A, A. Johns, present Director of Industrial Arts was elected an honorary member in 1919- Chauncey Emery is now District Sales Manager for the Safety Lift Company of Rochester. Elbert Fisher is assistant General Manager of the Odin Stove Company of Erie, Pa, and Howard Hudson is Assistant Superin- tendent with the same company. Homer Lambert graduated from R.S.O. as an optometerist, but later took up commercial aviation and was killed in a plane accident in 192.8. Kenn Wanless is Service Engineer with the North East Electric Company, Rochester while Fred Humphrey is with the Doehler Die Cast Company, Batavia, Wm. Scudder is Construction superintendent for the Ricewel! Construction Co., Cleveland, Ohio. In 192.2. the fraternity members attending R.S.O. broke away from Phi Sigma Phi and formed a new fraternity, Mu Delta Phi. Up until this time many of our alumni were optometerists. Stacy Bardo is draftsman for the American Laundry and Machine Company, Rochester. Fay Harned is a commercial artist in New York. Kenn Groff is a structural steel designer for the Kolmetz Iron Works of Rochester Harry Lyons is with the Gulf Refining Company and Gunnar Wigg is announcer for station WHEC. The year 192.8-192.9 has been a successful one for Phi Sigma Phi. Twelve new mem- bers were caken in to offset the graduation of twelve of the brothers. The fraternity welcomes these new members and for those who are graduating it extends best wishes for a very successful future.

The aim toward which these girls were striving was to uphold higher scholarship. The purpose of this Sorority was to be true and just in all its dealings. Since then these same standards have been followed by the Sorority, and today, we have twenty-one active members. In addition, Alpha Psi has a keen interest in charity. Each year a basket of pro- visions is delivered to a needy family at Christmas; at Easter time baskets are given to the poor children at the day nursery. In this, as in all new projects, the girls have shown hearty cooperation. Socially, the Sorority has had a successful year. These activities started out with the usual rush parties. Initiation was held at the Sagamore, and was followed by a dance. The annual Saint Patrick’s dance held by the Alpha Psi in Bevier. These social activities have done much to make the year a pleasant one for our members. It is our wish in the future to encourage school spirit and fair play, and to hold our ideal not only toward sister members, but also toward all girls of the school. j � £g) NINETEEN-HVNPRED • TWENTY� NINE Q gSftStSXSXSSKSR RAM IKI Bridle Hoi verson Lawrence Cole Durofchallc Richards Brisco!

Friendship is after all the greatest asset that one may have. Fortune, fame, success, wealth have, in a final analysis no value unless there exists exchanges of Friendships. Often Friendship is an indirect cause for an individual's success. Of what conceivable worth are the end products of material things if Friendship is not evident? The Delta Omicron Sorority was founded in 1911 by eight girls whose friendship formed a strong bond of union that still exists today. Their aim was to establish means whereby firm friendships could be formed and high ideals be maintained both in the sorority and in the school. It is difficult to express the feelings of the members regarding the past year; only social results may be voiced here, not forgetting however that there have been other interests that perhaps have meant more to individual members than expressed in dances and bridges. Some of the outstanding social events include the Formal Dance, in February, held this year at Brooklea Country Club, an event never to be forgotten by those who attended. A house party at Conesus Lake opened the year socially described as just a week end of jolly good fun. In April a new experiment was tried namely that of a dual danefe—a Barn Dance held in Eastman Building with a Bohemian Brawl in Bevier. A house party held at Canandaguia Lake late in May closed an active social season. Underclass sisters extend to their graduating sisters hearty congratulations and sincere wishes for their future happiness.

In nineteen hundred and twenty-two the Phi Upsilon Phi had an opportunity to become a chapter of a national sorority. This called for membership of only four-year, degree receiving girls and since the purpose of the Sorority was to unite every depart- ment, this honor was sacrificed rather than the ideal. Fidelity, the foremost aim of the Sorority was based on Friendship and Unity. This inspiration has been conscientiously carried on in beneficial work and leisure play, since Friendship, that deep and enduring affection, which needs Unity to make it omnipotent, can best be realized thru comradeship in toil and fun. What better way could be found to unite girls for a common interest than this? Sororities have been condemned as using time unprofitablv, and of causing unnecessary heartaches. Let it for ever be that Phi Upsilon Phi’s inspiration reaches not only her individual members, but the respective community as well. Some of the happiest days of a girl’s life may be spent sharing sistership in a Sor- ority, and the benefits derived therein, outstanding and far reaching in her life. The Phi Upsilon Phi Sorority, expresses a wish felt by all the Sororities, that it may be a source of comfort, help, and inspiration to whom-so-ever it chances to come in contact.

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 ideal of this group is two fold; first to promote and maintain a high scholastic standard, and second to bring into closer contact the girls of the two schools and thus establish a more friendly feeling. The social activities of the Sorority have been varied. The usual rush parties have yielded to bridge parties. The winter sports held reign during the colder months. The main social event at the close of the semester last spring was a house party on the lake which brought forth a still greater friendliness from the girls. The Sorority stresses scholarship and participation in school activities as well as social interests. Loyalty, cooperation, and fairness within the Sorority have resulted in three successful years for the Sorority. It is our aim in the future as in the past to maintain the high standard set by the Sigma Kappa Delta.

Its purpose was to unite the Sororities on a common basis. At that time there were two sor- orities, Alpha Psi and Phi Upsilon Phi. Delta Omicron was founded the following year, and Sigma Kappa Delta in 1916. Two representatives of each sorority, and faculty members make up the council. The chief function of the council is to regulate the rushing of prospective sorority members and to guide the sororities in matters of common interest. Dorothy Lennon Ferne Wilson . Aileen Clark .

It is an organization especially for Art Students. It was instigated by Ken Niver and is under the direction of Mr. Charles Horn. The latter believes that Fencing is of great value to the students and increases their powers of durability. It gives then poise and strength at the easel enabling them to paint for sometime with out fatigue. It is hoped that this club will be classed under school activities next year. Heres to its success.

How great that reward will be, measured in terms of knowledge, wealth and satisfaction, depends entirely on the thoroughness and efficiency of your training. Mechanics Institute offers the young man and woman unusual opportunities for preparation. Its courses assure a specialized training that is thorough, practical and complete—-yet broad enough so that the graduate is equipped to progress rapidly m his or her chosen vocation. The Cooperative Courses Mechanics Institute is composed of three schools: Industrial Arts, Home Economics and Applied Arts. Courses in two of the three schools are cooperative. I he coop- erative plan enables the student to secure required practical training and earn while he learns by working in the field in which he will continue after graduation, alternating his classroom work with actual practice. Cooperative courses offered bv the School of Industrial Arts include three-year courses in Electricity, Chemistry, Mechanics and Construction Supervision and Architectural Drawing. The School of Home Economics offers cooperative courses in Food Administration, Retail Distribution and Costume Art with Retailing. This school also offers non-cooperative residence and short time courses in Home Administration. The Applied Art Courses The three-year courses in the School of Ap- plied Art are not cooperative, but emphasis is placed on training that will meet professional standards and prepare the student for actual practice in the various fields of art. Detailed information concerning any oj these courses may be obtained by writing to the director oj the course. The Institute Is proud of the fact that her greatest source of new students is her Alumni and her student body. She is grateful for this appreciation. ROCHESTER ATHENAEUM AND Mechanics Institute :: :: 161 fttf gttfTtl ► ♦♦♦ ,t DuBois-Printed Book Wins All-American Contest as Best College Annual The i -dicky Bag is tlie Annual of the Regiment of Midshipmen of the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. The June 1928 book won the All-American contest sponsored by The Scholastic Editor as the best College Annual of the year. The vote of the following committee was unanimous: Mb. Lewis M. Pryor of The Pryor Press Mr. John P. Paulson of College Humor Mr. Edward G. Johnson of J. M. Uundscho, Inc. Me quote from their letters: “The very high quality of the Lucky Bag was achieved by having craftsmen of real ability to do the work. We, at the Pryor Press, have been very close to the school field for many years through our school poster service. From time to time we have noticed many annuals and often we have gritted our teeth at the poor printing sometimes displayed. The color work, composition, make ready—and everything else concerning the printing of the Lucky Bag—left little to be desired. Please accept the compliments of this company for your very good work.”'—Lewis M. Pryor. “The 1928 Lucky Bag which won the prize as the best College Annual in America, won that prize because it was most excellently printed and planned. Our art director, Mr. Tom Burroughs and myself, went over some of these Annuals and in our estima- tion the Lucky Bag was the best all around Annual we had seen printed for some years. The cover was attractive, the printing was well done, and there was an excel- lent use of color—just the right amount. In our estimation it was a perfect engraving and printing job. You certainly ought to be congratulated for printing this Annual and also I notice that you have printed other Lucky Bags which have won prizes.”— John P. Paulson. “There never was any doubt in mind as to the position of the Lucky Bag. It was far superior in most every manner to the other books submitted. In fact, it was a treat to go through it, and note its genuine thought and careful workmanship. It stuck out against the field so that it was not a difficult pick ’—Edward G. Johnson. The DuBois Press shares this honor with the Bureau of Engraving of Minneapolis which designed and engraved the Lucky Bag and the J. F. Tapley Company of Long Island City, the binders. In fairness to all concerned The DuBois Press feels that Midshipman Ralph K. James, the Editor, should have major recognition. His master- ful work in heading up a versatile staff was outstanding. He practically created the ideas around which the book was designed and built. :: The DuBois Press ROCHESTER, N. Y.
