R A M I K I N 1930 COPYRIGHT RUTH L TAYLOR, Editor-In-Chief ROBERT S. KENT, Business Manager RONALD YAW, Advertising Manager JOHN DE NERO, Art Editor DC N£ V� FOREWORD One hundred years ago Rochester was in its infancy. Home life, industry and business were in their beginnings. The founders of our city, forging ahead early established education as,a pillar in its construction. The youth benefited, industry grew, and business strode ahead. Today, Rochester is proud of the school which so many years ago was only a venture in a new, almost untouched field Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute emerges with banners flying and voices shouting, «progress.� The aim of this nineteenth volume of the Ramilcin is to commemorate this century of growth, tell something of present activities and give a sincere wish for a brilliant future. DEDICATION CAPTAIN HENRY LOMB In sincere appreciation to one whose dreams and foresight have given the students of the School of Industrial Arts great opportunities for education and future advancement; we dedicate this volume to Captain Henry Lomb. DEDICATION COLONEL ROCHESTER The progress of the School of Applied Arts gives evidence of the high ideals and the unselfish service of its founder. We pay homage in dedicat- ing this volume to Colonel Nathanial Rochester. CENTENNIAL RAMIKIN Published by the Students of the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute Rochester, New York 1930 VOLUME X I X CONTENTS INTRODUCTION FACULTY CLASSES SENIORS JUNIORS FRESHMEN FEATURES ATHLETICS ORGANIZATIONS FRATERNITIES SATIRE ALMA MATER O, Alma Mater, day by day We strive to hold thine honor bright, And pledge anew our loyalty, Defend thy name with all our mi ght. We rise in gratitude to thee For sweet the message thou hast taught, A message crowned with love and pow’r. Resplendent through thy service wrought. Thy noble founders heard the cry That surges o’er the world today, Their dauntless spirit sends us forth, That we their precepts may obey. Reynold's Arcade Among the few buildings of Rochester's first growth was the Reynold's Arcade. Besides being one of the largest structures in the youthful city it had the added privilege of being the first home of the Rochester Athenaeum. Colonel Rochester realized that the pioneering people needed intellectual food. Growth was their purpose and for this growth reading could furnish nourishment. Many excellent books and interesting periodicals were brought together to form a library which was called the Rochester Athenaeum. Corinthian Hall By the year 1850 so much interest had been shown in the Rochester Athenaeum that larger quarters were needed. At that time Corinthian Hall was one of the show places of Rochester and it was to this building the Athenaeum was moved. Here regular lectures were given and over fifteen hundred people attended and many were turned from the doors. It has been said that no building in America at that period had housed such a great number of famous statesmen and men of letters. Corinthian Hall was another large stone in the foundation of a great educational venture. Smith and Perkins Building During the years following the period of Corinthian Hall the brilliancy of the Athenaeum somewhat faded. In 1885 a liberal spirited group of citizens under the inspiring leadership of Captain Henry Lomb founded a school for technological training. It began as an evening school in one room in the old Free Academy building but so quickly grew that, after the first year, it was removed to the Smith and Perkins Building on Exchange Street. In its seventh year the Institute took over the charter of the Rochester Athenaeum and it has since been known as the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute. Manual Training Building Young men, eager to take advantage of the opportunity our benefactors offered, soon over-crowded the Smith Perkins building. Realizing the need of a larger structure as a permanent site, Captain Lomb gave the Manual Training Building to Mechanics Institute in 1894. The Dormitoty Early in the development of the Institute the course of Home Economics was added to the curriculum and later came the Art School. As more and more students crowded to the doors the need of some suitable place of residence for women became evident. Thereupon the Jenkinson Apartments which stood between the Eastman and Bevier buildings was acquired and converted into a Residence Hall. Nathaniel Rochester House When we see buildings towering above us in some city street we seldom pause to reflect upon what might have occupied that very place. Where the Bevier build- ing now stands there was once a home. This was the home of Colonel Nathaniel Rochester, oddly enough the man who brought the Rochester Athenaeum into being. Bevier Building In 1901, Mrs, Susan Bevier was the owner of the property where Colonel Roches- ter's home had stood and this property she transferred to Mechanics Institute with the provision that a building be erected in memory of her daughter, Alice Bevier. The School of Applied Art was built in 1910. Years of steady advance have placed it among the leading Art Schools of the country. The Eastman Building The Eastman Building completes the present group of buildings which form The Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute. In the year 1900 George Eastman, appreciating the value of the education offered and realizing the need of more space and efficient equipment, purchased half of a city block and erected a suitable build- ing. Great enthusiasm was given to the project and by 1901 the structure was completed thus spreading Mechanics Institute over nearly a full city block, making an educational community within the heart of Rochester. Farsighted men had dreamed of this result and to have this dream made into a tangible, lasting thing was a step in the progressive education of today. FACULTY 3(n Jflemortam The Institute feels deeply its loss through the death of Mr. Eugene C. Colbv, intimately known as, “The Grand Old Man ’ of Mechanics Institute. He was the first principal, serving from November 13, 1885 to June 1905. He was always keenly interested in the school and its enterprises. His purpose was to encourage his fellow men and to enrich and ennoble their lives. He possessed unusual organizing and executive ability. As a teacher he maintained high scholarship throughout the school. Such a spirit as Mr, Colby’s outreaches the span of life and leaves lasting in- fluences. x3 r n Time is often thought of as a succession of seconds, minutes and hours of equal length—an unbroken chain of equal links. But the essence of time is the quality we put into these links. More quality has been put into the last century than into the previous eighteen. It is worth while to record in this volume some of the quality which went into the century of activity carried on under the Athenaeum. The pioneer spirit of Mechanics Institute is evident in the present unique program in cooperative education for girls. Today young women may select one of three cooperative courses:—Food Administration, Retail Distribution, or Costume Art and Retailing. Training jobs are provided for students while in school. With ex- perience and maturity, the cooperative students advance to several ultimate goals designated as the work of dietitian in a hospital, manager in tea room, club or cafe- teria and buyer, stylist and costume artist in retail stores.

Twenty years ago the first cooperative students started their courses here. Since then, except for the war period, this development has been continuous. Today, Rochester’s industrial leaders are interested in the success of every Institute graduate. r F A C U L T y Weller Morecoek Davis Donaldson Elltngsnn Marriott Davis Harris Godfrey Finlay Priest Hemstreet Hutchings Tuites Swain Rrodie Hagherg Seigfreid Lang Martin Johns Evans Fenninger Steitz Pring Thomason Faculty, Industrial Arts Alfred A.

We came, bringing to this century old school new faces, new enthusiasms and new hopes. We saw this Alma Mater develop by extending its courses, adding equipment, increasing its athletics and developing a more enthusiastic school spirit. We saw it reach its one hundredth anniversary and helped celebrate this important occasion. We conquered our fear of upper-classmen and came through the freshman recep- tion and the various initiations with flying colors. The obstacles of our Junior Prom and a variety of activities were also met and vanquished. The Senior Ball will be built on this promising background. And now with such a past and present we graduate to the world of experience with every hope for the future. J.

Oh, we have enjoyed ourselves as the upperclassmen s little jokes. We appreciate the fact that we are worthwhile enough to warrant such continued attention. Nevertheless, it has been a red letter year for us. We have been well represented in all organizations. At all athletic events we were there in full force to furnish the cheering and general “pep’’ for the teams. We have come up smiling from a year full of new and wonderful experiences which, if it is any indication of spirit, should make thesky the limit” forus as Juniors. 80 Freshman Art O'Rourke Kipp Gorham Van Brunt DcMarst Brunn Baker Day Rowlands Raistrick Giordana Whitlock Ryan Strickland Vaughn Cornel Slawson McCabe Watkins Garriry Gorton Kaplan Fink Mundy Coon Kilner Jennings Dietrich F R E S H M E N Freshman Retailers F R E S H M E N Freshman Electrical FA Kimpton Weibly Abrams Wickman Dentinger Levinson Sharak Abbott Taylor Penczek Parkes Comfort Thompson Anderson Palermo McClellan Casey Brubaker Predenberg Sager Tesfut Gardner Tail Wood Symonds Cirrtncione Ash Freshman Electrical LB Ewer Roberge Wheeler McCaughey Anderson Brewster Goeseke Ned row Nunn Fisher McPherson Stevenson Clark Pucat Townley Church Bloom Anderson Lewis Ward Lindquist Thomson Stenzel Taber French Gutman Hutchison Green Follmer Eggleston Phillips Bryant Hill Brown Holt Callahan McKcown Sherman McClelland Closs Freshman Electrical II-B Sittcrlee Folk ins Tomber Madey Sutton Gray Metherell Yerkes Dort Mahoney Thomas Thomas McCormick Jones Erickson Steger Brennan Kiodzinski Clark Marley ■ F R E S H M E N Freshman Mechanical I Goodman Tinker Shopmeyer Law Kiesshog McCurdy Schutte Griswold Smith Gibson Johnson Phillips Cook B lack mere Blackburn Aitcheson Ford Harrnacker Freshman Mechanical II Tubbs Huff Stechin Jones Johnson PLidcrbaugh Kruger Ulrich Malinoski Hammond Zollweg Park Kelloclc 84 Kohlmyer Sheldon Killian Herrick Salen Elliott Edwards Hammachcr Freshman Chemical I Schoon Bitlings C.

The youth Frederick was apprenticed by his nurse, Ruth, to a dashing pirate band headed by the King ard his helper Samuel. Then along came the Major General with his daughters, Mabel, who falls in love with Frederick, Edith and Kate. Figure it out for yourself. CHORUS Pray observe the magnanimity they display to lace and dimity' say these voting maidens who were captured by such gruesome pirates. Knives were brand- ished, curdling yells rent the air! Oh yes, it was a real pirate play, However, it was a comedy so the pirates just had to marry the bevy of beautiful maidens . FOL1CEMEN The sergeant of the policemen sang With constabulary duties to be done, to be done, a policeman’s lot is not a happy one . They do look serious. We didn't know we had such typical Eng lish Bobbies in our midst, did we? From now on we ought to have law and order in the Institution. O rapture! Payne Brown Clark Comerford lay lor Junior 'Prom Soft lights, dreamy music and colorful gowns—these were united to create a spectacle of beauty that was a pure delight to those (hundred?) fortunate couples who were present at the Junior Prom on March 2.8, 1930. The Italian Renaissance setting of the ball room at the Columbus Hall lent an unusually appropriate back- ground to the colorful ball. The music was by Larry Harrington and his Blue Knights of Rhythm, a popular favorite of the leading colleges and universities of the state. Clever double favors, a deep secret before the prom, turned out, much to the delight of the crowd, to be a program convertible to a picture frame for the girls, and a watch fob for the fellows, both bearing the insignia of Mechanics on them. Something new and novel, which added zest to the prom this year were the Sorority and Fraternity banners which flew in the lounge rooms where friends met old friends and new friends and talked over capricious pranks of the past and present. The last guest left at two o’clock. ”0 know, O know, it could not last.”—etc. V I.

The members of the team have held their own with the best of men in the country and have met all comers. Wrestling continues to grow in popularity with the students of Mechanics. In the past two years the Mechanics Institute team has engaged in eighteen meets. Of these meets it has won sixteen, tied one and lost one. IOI I A T H L E T I C $ WHITNEY The handsome lad above, folks, is none ocher chan our courage- ous Capcain George Whitney. Whit is one wrestler who uses brain as well as brawn when he wrestles, and when he pins his opponent, the unlucky one general- ly stays pinned. Mechan- ics was very fortunate in having Whitney on the Varsity team for three years and next year his absence from the team will be conspicuous. George goes on to Car- negie next fall and we wish him the best of luck and happiness in his school work and wrest- ling there. CHARLES F. CALA Chuck is one of Coach Ellingson’s proteges. As another of the Team's Old Reliables, who have established wrestling at school, M. I. has always counted on him when a meet was in doubt, and never in vain. His record was enviable, Chuck has High handi- an injured knee, a sterling caliber in all of his exhibitions. He has fight and plenty of it. For three years he has upheld the Blue and Grey, and his work is highly commendable. M. I. wishes you success. Chuck. ROBERT S. KENT Bob is one of the two main reasons why the Kent twins are two of a kind. For three years he has worn the colors of M. I. and his opponents think twice before tack- ling him a second time. His making weight has been a very hard task especially this last seas- STELLJES Here we have a veteran of three seasons! The one and only, the rip- roaring, hair-raising, blond Viking,-Stelljes! The air just trembles when Gomer sails into his man. His favorite hold, that short arm scissors is a wow! We are going to miss a lot when Gomer leaves next year. His good nature, his pep and his enthu- siasm have always been an enormous boost to the morale of the team. DUDLEY Between studying the electrical course in one year and catapulting his opponents about in the ring. Si is a busy man judging from his per- for m ante this y e a r , Mechanics Institute must look a long ways to fill the pair of shoes left va- ant by Dudley. He comes thru in the pinches and a wrestling team is complete without him. Si is a mighty fine fellow. We all like him whether he is wrestling or telling stories. Re- member the one about the wooden horse, Si? on. Prospects looked bright for M. I. in the National Tournament when Kent proved that he has the stuff that makes champions, but the breaks were against him with the victory near. How do you get such good marks, take part in so many student activities and still find time for wrestling? Yours is an excellent record. Keep it up, Bob. M. I. extends her best wishes for your contin- ued success. SHAN TZ This was Dick's first year with the Blue anti Grey. We always had something to start with when the heavies began coming along. He show- ed up best against DElia of Alfred but it was a game fight when he met Flagg from Syracuse University. We would like to see Shantz wrestle Flagg again. He will be one of our big guns next year. ADAIR Adair is one of the new members of the team this year. Although not a regular he certainly kept up the old school spirit and remained on the squad until his opportu- nity came. Perhaps he didn't show us a thing or two in the City Col- lege meet. Ask Wo Iff, he knows. Keep up the old fight, Adair, were counting on you next year. JONES Another new member of the team this year is none other than Buck Jones. Buck was not in the early matches this year; but when he did start, Oh my! He seemed to take things his own way much to the dislike of his opponents. Buck is a fighter to the end and does not admit de- feat even after the whistle blows. Jones is one of the heavies who will carry the Mechanics colors next year. MOSHER Ray is always a gent- leman on and off the mat. He does his best and that is saying quite a lot be- cause, when he comes across the mat he means business. Ray's wide range of holds added to rhat wiry frame of his spells disaster for his op- ponents. He has another year with the Blue and the Grey. Hit it up for Mechanics Institute next year. Ray, M. I. needs you? CURTIS Curtis is another of our men to uphold the stand- ards of Mechanics Insti- tute. He found a vacancy on the team and filled it well. Alfred remembers that lively tussel yet when Chuck cata- pulted his man about the mat. Curtis will be with us again next year and Mechanics Institute is expecting great things of him. Keep up the good work. Chuck. HOGUE For a reserve man, Hogue was right there with the goods! When M. I. needed him he was ready. Syracuse may have been his nemesis but he won the admiration of the entire school when he refused to admit he was down, though final- ly losing after breaking many punishing holds, he showed his real fight- ing caliber. Hogue has been with us three years and at all times he is just that same quiet fellow whom we all know and like. When it comes to steady work and stick- to-it-iveness he is one of our most outstanding ex- amples. Success in this world awaits men like You. 103 Wrestling Score MEETS Mechanics Institute. . 2.6 Buffalo Y.M.C.A , . . . 8 Mechanics Institute. . . 19 Mansfield State 11 Mechanics Institute. . 36 Mansfield State .... 0 Mechanics Institute. 2-3 Alfred .... 16 Mechanics Institute. 9 Syracuse . 13K Mechanics Institute 16 Western Reserve • • 14 Mechanics Institute. . 2.6 Buffalo Y.M.C.A . . . . 6 Mechanics Institute. . 2.7 Alfred • - • - 5 Mechanics Institute. . .

Coach Pete McKay looked upon the newcomers as perhaps the best material ever to turn out for basketball at M. I. Competition was so keen that the final cut was not made until the season was well under way and even then only one regular survived. The team has completed one of the strongest schedules in years, and has enjoyed a very successful season. Of the seventeen games played, eleven were won, and the remainder were lost by very close margins. Much credit must be given to Coach Pete McKay, Manager Norman Macintosh, and faculty manager, Harold Brodie for their hearty cooperation in promoting the games and helping the team on the road to success. The following players were awarded sweaters and letters at the close of the season: Eisenhart, Zeitler, Warren, Levine, Niermeyer, Cirrincione and Manager McIntosh. Coryell was awarded a silver basketball as he was a second year letter man. CORYELL Cory” the big fel- low from John Mar- shall, was the only one of last years veter- ans to make the team. As captain this year, he led the team thru one of the best sea- sons that M. 1 has ever had in basket- ball. He is the man who comes thru in the pinches. We still re- member his basket which tied the score with R, B. I. in the last few seconds and later in the overtime period he led them to victory. We are ex- pecting great things of next year Cory”. ZEITLER Zeit known to all his friends as “Dutch” hails from Pittsford High School. Al- though the second smallest member of the team, he has sur- prised many an oppo- nent with his unfail- ing supply of pep and fight, He has two more years at Mecha- nics and with the start he has made this year we are looking for- ward to plenty of action next year. CIRRICIONE “Louie” is the smal- lest man on the team. Last year he was cap- tain of Monroe and surely plays a fine brand of basketball, He is another of our freshmen who is mak- ing a name for him- self at Mechanics. With him in the line up we knew that win or lose, a line caliber of sportsmanship was everywhere outstand- ing. Good things come in small pack- ages. We all want to see you in action again next winter. What you lack in size is made up in speed and pep. Keep up the good work Louie. WARREN “Rip” Right here we have a quiet chaj) around school (nowand then) but “Woh what a comedian our team has in its squad. Rip’s home town is East Rochester He plays guard and forward equally well and it is a great brand of basketball he plays coo. No matter how the game breaks, he is just the same cheerful fellow. We ex- pect him back next year to make up a veteran team and next season let er Rip. SLOWE Tommy' represents Aquinas’ first crack at M I. sports. Care must be taken not to misinterpret the meaning of his name for he is always there when needed. Try and watch him, Girls, for he has still two years to go. 106 McCAUGHEY 'Horse Mac'’ is the big boy from Greigsville. He is continuing his basket ball career as a member of the Blue and Grey. Although not a regular Mack's height and reach has been a great asset to the team this year. Mac has two more years at M. I. so we are expecting grear things of him. NIERMEYER “AI” is another Rochesterian. He hails from West High. This was his first year as a member of the Blue and Grey. It was evident throughout the year that his opponents were unable to score consist- ently. R. B. I. will not soon forget this lanky fellow wrho was a riddle their scoring aces could not solve. Al“ never admits a game is lost until the game is over. COLLISTER Babe . Although Collister was not a regular this year he saw plenty of action and was there with the goods when called upon. Whenever in the line-up he took plenty of fight and pep with him. Collister hails from Batavia High and expects to keep up the good work for M. L next year. E1SENHART 'Bili is our bril- liant blond basketball player from Horse- heads. He has won a lasting position in the hearts of M. 1. stu- dents for his prowess on the court. Bill seems to be the inspir- ation of the team for when he went good, the whole team went better. Watch Bill next year. LEVINE Monk takes the center of the stage and uses it to the best advantage. He has met the tallest men and manages to get his share of the tip offs, Monk” is East High's gift to M I. and still has two more years to do his stuff, Keep up the good wrork Monk” we re counting on you.

The battle was with Chi Epsilon Phi who displayed excellent basketball throughout the game. At the final whistle the Chi Delt’s had won with a score of 2.3-14. The team journeyed afar this season, winning from Brockport Normal Reserves and from Oswego Normal Reserves. The final recapitulation of the season shows a reading of one thousand percent for the Interfraternal League, and total of 2.80 points scored against opponents 136. The success of the season is due to the enthusiasm of the players, and the thorough work of manager and coach. The honors for defending Chi Delta Phi’s Title are equally divided among the following: Martin A. Donohoe—Manager Frederick Proctor—Coach Norman W. Macintosh Fred Carr Harry Loyd Edward Churchill Frederick Blvdenburg Willis Cross William Brown Harold Smith 109 Riley Boyle Piatt Penfield Atchison Goodman Murphy Roberge Smith Chi Epsilon Phi Basketball The Chi Epsilon Phi Basketball team enjoyed a most successful season under the management of Mr. Charles Riley. The team won six out of eight games played in the Interfraternal League and the right to participate in the Mardi Gras for the championship. In a closely played contest, the Chi Delta Phi team emerged winner, with a score of 2.3 to 14. We wish to compliment the Chi Delt’s on the fine sportsmanship shown in the game. In summing up, the credit is distributed among the following players: Coach—Pen field CENTERS Aitcheson Murphy FORWARDS Gregory Smith Boyle GUARDS Goodman Piatt Roberidge Ti Kappa Cjamma Basketball At the beginning of the basketball season Pi Kappa Gamma, not to be outdone by any of the older fraternities, organized their own team. After combing the mem- bership for candidates a team was chosen to represent the Pi Kap’s on the court. Altho not able to get the necessary team play and co-ordination to win a place in the Mardi Gras, due to their strangeness to the court, and to each other’s playing; the team did grasp third place in the interfraternal league. This accomplishment is largely due to the splendid spirit shown by Captain Lincoln, and the excellent example set by Manager Swain. No little bit of the success of the team is due to the helping hand extended by the non-playing members of the fraternity. On almost every occasion there were members on hand at the games to cheer the players on when the opponents held the long end of the score. The hottest contests of the league were those between the twin fraternity, Chi Beta Kappa. The first game of this series was won by the Chi Bet’s, but the score was close. The second was not a walk away, but was won in the last period-by the Pi Kap’s. A third game was arranged, and it was in this meeting that the Pi Kap’s showed their right to hold third place. The team, although Jacking the experience and technique of their opponents, made a creditable showing, and with almost the entire squad on hand for next year’s series, Pi Kappa Gamma is looking forward with eyes on the coveted first place in the interfraternal league. nt Wilhelm Morris Chi ‘Beta Kappa Basketball The Chi Beta Kappa Basketball team has finished its first season. In the Interfraternal Basketball League, the records show the team in fourth place- At the end of the season the team was dead-locked with the Phi Kappa Gamma and in a tie off game the Phi Kappa Gamma won. As this was the first year the boys had played together it is not considered an unsuccessful season. The team was captained by William Wood and very ably coached by Ben Swayze. Several of the team will return to school next year and we hope for a more suc- cessful season.

Bowling took place every Thursday evening at Brick Church and altho the number of players was small a jolly time was had. Of the twenty girls who came out for bowling the first few nites only eight remained ’till the end. “Larry Larwood and “Jo Jones tied for high score while “Dutch Worthing, Marion Whitbeck and Louise Tallamy followed right on their heels. The Bowlers took part in the Play Nite Party which proved to be a success for all and on February 13th the last games were bowled for the year much to the disap- pointment of all the girls.

In November, at Ellison Park, Anne Laughlin dug up the Treasure chest which contained loot for all. Two good Ski parties were held at Highland Park. 115 This season of golf proved to be most successful under the tutelage of Mr. Charles Walker and Mr. Reid Keenan. Practices were held at the gymnasium and on the links at Genesee Valley Park, Enthusiasts are Martha MacCabe, Eleanor Mundy, Ruth Mix, Ruth Vaughn, Margy Lou Payne, Helen Underhill, May Williams, Dorothy Mill ham, Genevieve Thomas. ;Tennis 19x9—Tournament won by Gertrude Larwood. 1930—Tournament won by one of the following (see next year s Rami kin).

Life Saving was followed by four ardent enthusiasts. Louise Tallamy received the National Red Cross Examiners Certificate in ’19; Regina Landow and Elsie Gunkler are Senior Life Savers, working for Examiners certificate; and Anna Ballarian is working for a Senior certificate. A Swimming Meet closed the season. Elsie Gunkley, Regina Landow, Margy Lou Payne are receiving the American Red Cross Life Saving Examiners' Certificate. Tiding “Horses, Horses, Horses. We were all crazy over horses“. This year has been very successful due to the enthusiasm, sportsmanship and ability of the girls who came out. The Horse Show, a new feature this year, met with success. The annual Sunrise Ride to Ellison Park closed the season. y. w. c. a. The purpose of the Y.W.C.A. is to associate young women in membership and service in the Christian Church, to promote growth in Christian character and service thru physical, social, mental, and spiritual training. This year the organization, of which every girl in the Institute is a member, has taken charge of the Freshmen and Christmas Tea. At Christmas time the Y.W.C.A, delivered a Christmas Cheer Basket for a family of ten. Several baskets were generously filled with food supplies and gifts. This organization introduces Big and Little Sisters in the hope that by this means, new students may become acquainted and become more familiar with the traditions of the school. In the past a large number of the organization have attended the Y.W.C.A. Eastern College Conference held at Silver Bay and it is the hope that in the future this custom may still continue to be a goal toward which each girl may work. nS ORGANIZATIONS ■ Student Council Henry Kent .... .

The Handbook contains important information in compact form for the con- venience of all students, though its main purpose is to acquaint the incoming Freshmen with facts they should know about the many phases of the school. It is a Student Council publication and in the future will be revised each year. 1 Alumni Association The Alumni Association of Mechanics Institute is composed of Graduates and other former students who have taken a considerable amount of work. The organiza- tion aims to foster good will, to maintain contacts with Alumni, to disseminate information concerning the Institute and its Alumni, and in short, to provide a perpetual bond between Alumni as individuals, and the School and Alumni as a group. To accomplish these purposes the Association holds an annual banquet and re- union at which old friendships are renewed and old enthusiasms rekindled. The student paper, The Psimar, which stimulates Graduate interest and loyalty to the Alma Mater, has replaced the News letter. This change was effected by Mrs. Bacon, Secretary of the Association, with the cooperation of the President of the Student Council and the Managing Editor of the student paper. Each year the Association is increased by members of the newly Graduated Class. Financially, the Alumni Association becomes stronger year by year. 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. 0 R G A N 1 Z A T I O N S OFFICERS Floyd H ALSTED................

Librarian Ever since its organization, which was in 192.5, the Girls' Glee Club has enjoyed continual success in all of its enterprizes. But this past year seems to have been the most prosperous one—due, perhaps, to the capable leadership of Mr. Billhorn, succes- sor to Mr, Weaver and member of the faculty of Washington Junior High School, The girls have proven themselves full of genuine musical spirit and ability, as was demonstrated in numerous assembly programs and outside work. Their largest and most successful undertaking was in a joint performance with the Boys’ Glee Club, presenting an operetta in two acts, ‘ The Pirates of Penzance,' given in the latter part of March. The leads and chorus entered well into the spirit of the play, and with the help of simple but effectual costumes and scenery the production was suc- cessfully put across” and well received by a large and cordial audience. Plans are already being made for the future, which will include several parties and dances—not to mention operettas. iz6 Blackbu rn Yaw Van Brunt Klump Cala Marchewski Tubbs Lindquist Starr Nichols Waddington Thompson WeagrafF Tarsleff Townley R.

Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Business Manager Librarian The men’s glee club, organized in 192.5, has made rapid progress in membership and technique, and the year 1930 sees the organization a group of talented artists under the able direction of Mr. Billhorn, who came with the organization in the midyear of 1919 and has since proven his ability as a natural leader and director. The year of 1930 started with the unprecedented membership of 75, but has since been reduced to smaller number of those showing the most talent. Assemblies which have been the most successful have had the club as an enjoyable feature of the program. ‘ The Pirates of Penzance” considered to be one of the most difficult of operettas ever produced by a college group, was ably given in the auditorium of the Madison Junior High School in the latter part of March. The role of Frederick, the hero, was taken by John Ash, whose tenor voice was well received by the audience. William Taff as King of the Pirates, proved to be a master of the situation, his rich baritone solos being remarkably adapted to his part in the production. Canfield, Brubaker, and Van Brunt in minor roles completed a perfect cast of male characters, The chorus in the costumes of pirates and policemen proved themselves a well trained group of artists and were remarkably combined with the characters of the play. The girls’ glee club with their talented soloists and chorus provided the necessary interest and harmony to successfully complete the entire musical comedy. 13-7 Mr. Billhorn Director Miss Sykes Advisor Mr. Davis Advisor glee Club %oll Call GIRLS' GLEE CLUB ROLL CALL Dorothy Baker Regina Landow Helen Short Anna Ballarian Gracia Markham Louise Tallamy Margaret Coon Martha McCabe Ruth Taylor Betty Garrity Dorothy Mill ham Genevieve Thomas Betty Gibbs Margaret Palmer Isabel Udall Helen Gorton Helen Rathjen Margaret Vanderbroek Josephine Jones Helen Rowland Thelma Ward Celia Kilner Helen Schnackel Helen Wellener Rose Anne Langhans Ruth Sherwood Miriam Whitmore Gretchen Worthing MEN’S GLEE CLUB ROLL CALL F.

Although the Survey Club was founded for this purpose, it has become quite a social club among the girls in the School of Home Economics. Many interesting speakers, musicians, and artists have entertained at the meetings. The Survey Club is the first club of its kind to have been organized in Mechanics Institute by the girls. They hope to make it a lasting feature in Mechanics Institute. 119 0 R G A N 1 Z A T I O N S m v if- TafF Lincoln McKeown Wilson Peterson Fenninger Ncwmai Hill The Electrical Student’s Association Everett A.

Cirrincione In the fall of 19x3 a group of students in the new course, the Cooperative Electri- cal, banded together under the guidance of the new instructor in the Electrical Department for the purpose of propagating the school spirit which had suffered a severe blow with the inception of the cooperative feature. This group felt the handi- cap under which the student was put when he left school on the day that his alter- nate came from work. With a united effort they conducted meetings on the average of once a month, and secured speakers from the industries in and near the city. Expense in conducting the enterprise rose, and soon signs of financial stress curbed their activities, and would have snuffed out their struggling band had not this kind instructor backed them up, and enabled them to go on. The next year the incoming class strengthened the organization, and with the close of the year 19x4-19x5, they were almost self supporting. Through the influence of the faculty advisor, such men as Prof. P. M. Lincoln, Dean of the Electrical Engineering course at Cornell University and a contemporary of Thomas A. Edison; Mr. C. S. Coler, Director of the Educational Department of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co.; Mr. H. L. Davis, Director of Technical Employ- ment at the Bell Telephone System; Mr. R. H. Manson, Chief Engineer of the Strom- berg Carlson Manufacturing Co.; and others of both national and local repute have been secured as speakers at the meetings. Local talent has been drawn upon, and on more than one occasion, a play has been presented at the meeting. So popular was one of these playlets, that it was presented three times. “What Price Light”, “The Life of a Poor Frosh”, “An Experiment on Opening the Field of a Shunt Motor”, “The Cafeteria”, and a minstrel show constituted a few of these portrayals. The entire theme of the organization's work is to establish a medium for the acquaintance of the Electrical men, and in doing so, bring to them the highlights of the science. This year the E. S, A., as it is termed, has made great progress, still under the guidance of the original instigator, Mr. W. N, Fenninger. The membership num- bered over ixo, and the meetings were attended with enthusiasm. One meeting each month, held usually the second Thursday, has kept the men in close touch with each other during the past year, and with the customary trips through the various industries of the city, the year can rightfully be claimed as a successful one. However the climax did not come until the annual banquet, held this year on May first. Almost the entire membership was in attendance, and all proclaimed the evening as “great”. The Association is now looking forward to another year of even greater progress under the leadership of the newly elected officers. 0 R G A N 1 Z A T I O N S Henry Lomb Association In 1916 a group of faculty members met and drafted the constitution and bv-laws, for an organization which was named The Henry Lomb Society. This was the begin- ning 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 appreciation and encouragement of unselfish service, high ideals and devotion to true citizenship and community interests. These characteristics were especially conspicuous in the life of Captain Henry Lomb and the society was formed to recog- nize and inspire fidelity to these attributes. Seniors are elected to membership on the basis of scholarship, personality and interest in participation in student activities. OFFICERS FOR 192.8-192.9 Mr. Harold G. Brodie............

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. There is every reason to believe that the next year will prove as successful as this. 133 Wert man Lockwood Davis Wright Whitmore Arriey ’Dormitory Council Helen Arney........................................President Dorothy Davis......................................Secretary Helen Wertman .....................................Treasurer SENIOR REPRESENTATIVES Helen Arney Gertrude Larwood JUNIOR REPRESENTATIVES Helen Wertman Lucille Loomis FRESHMEN REPRESENTATIVES Miriam Whitmore Marion Wright The Dormitory Council, made up of Mrs. Jessie E.

Its work is to smooth out the various problems of Dormitory life that are brought up before it and here wishes to express appreciation of the cooperation shown it by the girls. Its contribution to school activities for the year was the Dormitory Formal, one of the high lights of the Social Calendar.

With this in mind the Rochester Art League was formed several years ago, primarily for the purpose of bringing the art students of Rochester into contact with each other, to discuss the various phases of professional work, and secondarily for its social advantages. The membership of the League has increased from a small group to its present active number of 70 students. It has been the aim of the League to promote the arc activities of the Institute and general friendliness among the students. 0 R G A N 1 Z A T I O N S MS The Varsity “M” Club was founded in 193.9 by Charles Cala, its present Presi- dent, It provides an organization for a more effective stimulation of Athletics and School Spirit, The main purposes of this organization are to heJp the advancement of the different Athletic Activities for men of Mechanics Institute through hearty co-operation with the coaches and faculty managers of the various sports, and to see that the “M” is worn only by those who have earned the privilege. Only those who have received a varsity “M” are eligible for membership. Beginning with the year of 1930 the club will be responsible for the enforcement of all traditions pertaining to men, including the two week period of Freshmen initiation. ...............

Treasurer The five fraternities at Mechanics Institute are organizations, which offer opportunities to form friendships through social and business relations that are lasting throughout life. In 1901, the first fraternity was founded under the name of Phi Sigma Phi. Chi Phi was the next fraternity to come into existence in 1910, later the name was changed to Chi Delta Phi. The year of 192.1 yielded the Chi Epsilon Phi. The spring of 192.9 brought forth Pi Kappa Gamma. Chi Beta Kappa was founded in the fall of 192.9. It is necessary that a spirit of good fellowship exist among the five fraternities, so each year three representatives including the President of each Fraternity are elected to be known as the Interfraternal Council. The duties of the Council are to bring the different fraternities closer together, regulate rushing, rush parties and to settle all questions of interfraternal interest. The outstanding event of the council is the Mardi Gras. At this time the basket- ball championship among the fraternities is decided. The Interfraternal Council was founded in 1911, and since that time it has func- tioned very efficiently. A Constitution has been accepted, which will make it much easier to carry on fraternity business. The way in which the Council has operated in past years has made fraternity relationship an honor to Mechanics Institute.

It was founded in 1901, with a membership of six. Its purpose has ever been the promotion of scholas- tic and social interests among its members. The Fraternity was represented in the World War by twenty-one members. The following year the Fraternity was disorganized (for the duration of the war), but was organized in 1910 with thirty-five active members. Phi Sigma Phi took over the old Colony Hall (now the Locust Club) at 111 Spring Street for a Fraternity House in February 1910, but in a years time moved to number 60 South Washington Street. It was w hile they were in this house that the Fraternity gave a reception for Miss Campbell of Columbus, Ohio, who was “Miss America” at that time. F R A T E R N I T I E S On December 11, 192.6, the Phi Sigma Phi held its twenty-fifth Anniversary Celebration at Hotel Rochester. It was THE event of the year. The year 19x9-1930 has been an active one for the Phi Sigma Phi. It started the year with one of the best dances ever put on at Mechanics Institute. In addition to this dance the Fraternity held a rush party dance at the D. A. R. House. The Frater- nity intends to complete the year with several dances and social activities. We as members of Phi Sigma Phi are proud to uphold her standards of manly conduct, earnest effort in studies, and faithfulness to our school and our Fraternity. 141 F R A T E R N I T I E S Slowe Cross Donohoe Erickson Bye Dubois Stellges Ewer Nye McClelland Arters Shotrneyer Smith Kirkland I anger Anderson Carr Lloyd Donohoe Rosser McIntosh Bain Brown Gray Elliott Churchill Foster Glenn Kent Kent Chi 'Delta Phi FRATRES HONORARI J, Burdett Matteson Earl M.

Chi Delta Phi The history of Chi Delta Phi dates back to 1914 when it was originally organized as the Delta Delta Society, and changed to the Chi Phi one year later. In 1910 the organization was incorporated as the Chi Delta Phi Fraternity under the statute Laws of New York State. Chi Delta Phi began its social activities of the year with an open dance in Bevier Hall, which was attended by an excellent representation of the student body. Two other dances were sponsored by the fraternity which were also very successful. The endeavor of the fraternity this year has ever been to create a stronger tie of goodfellowship among the students of the Institute. With the spreading feeling of good will, Chi Delta Phi feel they have participated with the other organizations in this worthy effort. In closing we add, that plans are nearing completion for the annual May Formal which is the climax of the social year of the fraternity. The purpose of this dance is not only to provide an opportunity for final social gathering of the fraternity, but also an annual reception of all alumni members.

In 1914 the constitution was revised admitting men in any day course of the Institute. Since that time the Fraternity has grown until at present its forty-one members are associated with practically every activity in the Institute. The aim of Chi Epsilon Phi is to bind in brotherly order men of the Institute, to promote and support Institute activities and to establish and maintain high scholas- tic standings. The social season opened with the fourth annual 'Joe College” dance w hich was a success as it has been for the past three years. Two closed dances were held at the Fraternity House and the season closed with a dinner dance attended by many alumni as well as Active Brothers. An Honorary Key is given each Senior Brother who has, during his course attained a scholastic standing of 80%, and has attended a high percentage of Frater- nity meetings and who has shown they were interested in promoting and supporting fraternity and school activities. Chi Epsilon Phi is justly proud of the interest shown in its undertakings by the Honorari and Alumni Brothers. Coleman McKeown Casey Dudley Peterson Whitney Perry Blackmer Swain Weltzer Newman Dant .

Lincoln James McCormick John Brashear Chapter cPt Kappa Qatnma On April second, nineteen hundred and twenty nine, a small group of men with a belief that the existing fraternal orders were not adequate, gathered to lay plans for the present Pi Kappa Gamma. After obtaining the recognition of the adminis- tration, the fraternity set themselves up against the ordeals that are peculiar to an infant organization. Before the end of the year a number of dinner meetings had united the group into a really fraternal association, and stable plans were laid for the coming year. From this meager beginning, the fraternity has expanded to over four times its original membership. The Rush Party opened the season’s activity, and acquainted the incoming class with the fraternity. Thirteen pledges constituted the new mem- bers for this year. After a thorough period of pledging, these men were initiated late in January. The first dance sponsored by the fraternity was held on March eighth, and was pronounced as most enjoyable by all present. The fraternity was organized with four purposes in mind. These were to offer to students of the Institute a medium for fraternal relations, to accomplish this end with a minimum of expense, to establish and maintain a high standard of scholas- tic status, and to expand the fraternity to other schools of the same type as Mechanics. The first three of these objects have been at least partly fulfilled, and the last is a goal for the future. The scholastic standing of members is not merely average, but is maintained well above this level, and although Pi Kappa Gamma is one of the younger fraternities, it has come to be greatly respected because of this ideal. F R A T E R N I T I E S Much of the success of the fraternity is due to the ever present counsel in the persons of Frederick H. Evans and Edward H. Lang, faculty members of Pi Kappa Gamma. At the close of a year crowned with success in almost every venture, the fraternity enters its second year with even greater hopes.

With the end of the first period of active life at “MEKANIX”, has been accomplished, we hope, the aim and purpose of our fraternity, mainly: the raising of scholastic standards, an enrichment of social life and a devotional tribute to things Divine. Social activities were begun in October with a banquet and a formal opening at Chinaland, this being the first get-together of the fourteen charter members- Fol- lowing this, the fraternity entertained prospective pledges at the first “rush” party in the town of Pittsford; the brothers were entertained by the pledges at informal initiation, held at Crescent Beach, and next both old and new brothers, Whooped it up,” at the dinner dance which followed the Formal Initiation in February. As the last contribution to the gods of rhythm, dear old Chi Beta will hold a dance on May 2.3. □£ h— LU OC 2 Phi Ups lion Phi HONORARY MEMBERS Mr. John A. Randall Mr. Clifford M.

As such, it feels that its responsibility as the first sisterhood to promote friendliness and good fellowship has been warranted through its many and varied activities by those of this past year equally as much as by those of its preceeding eleven years of existence. Fidelity, its foremost aim, has been conscientiously adherred to in beneficial work of many kinds, fidelity to each and every sister member; fidelity to the School in promoting high scholarship; fidelity to all with whom contact is made. Unity, a second aim, has been strengthened through cooperation in beneficial work and social affairs. As the time-honored maxim of English courses states, unity makes for coherence and coherence for emphasis, Phi Upsilon Phi trusts that its influence has been as strongly felt as its perfect unity infers. Friendship, the third of its aims and one which is exercised daily, has this year made it twenty-two in number strong. Not only among the members is this sought but toward all who are in need of help and comfort, its aim is to provide inspiration. To the graduating members of Phi Upsilon Phi, the under-classmen extend sincere wishes for their success and will endeavor to carry its name through the succeeding years, as in the past, unscathed.

Since then these same standards have been followed by the sorority and today we have thirteen active members. In addition Alpha Psi has a keen interest in charity. Each year, at Christmas, a basket of provisions is taken to some needy family and toys are given to the poor children at the day nursery. In this, the girls have shown hearty cooperation. Socially the Sorority has had a most successful year. These activities started out with the usual rush parties. The formal initiation was held at the Sagamore. The annual St. Patrick’s dance was held in Bevier and was voted a huge success. These social activities have done much to make this a pleasant and beneficial year. It is our wish in the future to carry on the spirit of Alpha Psi, not only toward sister members but also toward all the girls of the school.

Today, our Delta Omicron has thirty-four active members who are striving to maintain the precedent set by their honored predecessors. Socially, Delta Omicron again closes another marked year of events. Rush parties opened the year, with usual cleverness. The Delta Omicron '‘Heart Dance’’ held on February 15th, takes its stand among the nicest dances held at Bevier. May the.remaining sisters of Delta Omicron wish their departing sisters sincere wishes for success and may they take with them the high ideals of friendship which Delta Omicron so generously gave to them. 55 F R A T E R N I T I E S Jensen Kilner Kirkpatrick Wilson Hobbie Sykes Nye Hulbert Holmes Loomis Burkey Quackenbush Owens Sigma Kappa Delta HONORARY MEMBERS Miss Mary Havens Miss Gertrude Sykes Miss Hazel Burkey SORORES 1930 Lois Cavanaugh Mary Hobbie SORORES 1931 Anna Ballari an Pauline Hulbert Letha Holmes Dorothy Nye SORORES 1932.

The foremost aim of this organization is to build character thus emphasizing loyalty, friendliness and co-operation; secondly to maintain a high scholastic standard. The season s social activities composed of the usual rush parties have consisted of teas, bridge parties, an informal dinner at the Alexandria, a formal dinner at the Knights of Columbus and various other social functions. To extend a sincere wish for the future happiness and prosperity of our school sisters is the desire of the Sigma Kappa Delta.

It consists of two representatives from each sorority and faculty members. The chief function of the council is to unite all the sororities in one comprehensive body, to study problems which are of interest to all the girls of the school, to bring about friendship and understanding among the girls of the different sororities, and to guide and regulate the rushing of prospective sorority members. 158 SATIRE An Explosion of S tudent Opinion THE SK3HMAR M KKAX1X I2VSTITOOT ROCHESTER AT.Y AAirror °f Scvtirc THE DUST PAN (Digest of School dirt) Pome:—Origin of Cooties.

THE GAME It was the big night or should it be nite,—anyway it was dark out and Mekanix Institoot was doomed (pardon me) scheduled to rastle Sarakuse. The Casey (beg pardon) the K of C Hall was crowded, yes parked, as any hail with 14000 people, will be you know or was it 140. No matter, my friends, no matter, it was filled up. To go on a goodly crowd was there and as Don McGrew took out his gun he shot the referee of the basketball game and was acquited then and there by a jury of students. Remember, dear children, all this follows an exciting game of basketball which accounts for the nasty crack at the referee. But being a true sportsman I had to write it. Everyone was tense and sitting on the ends of their chairs. Suddenly two people clapped and what should appear but the Khe Kluxers on parade with little grey panties and shirts for all the world like Auburn. Upon learning my error and finding that they were Mekanix wrastlers 1 nonchalantly lighted a Murad and was hav- ing a great smoke until some guy named Ellingson axed me (my thoughts wander) asked me to put it out. Having no clubs I merely swallowed it. Then Sarahkuse appears! Not a sound (nice greeting) Not to be outdone they rush over and sit and suck oranges making faces at our team trying to make them mad. Imagine! Oh, dear, I felt for them. And I might add, in a few moments 1 felt for my felt hat and a nice quiet side entrance where I could sneak out. But I stuck by my gun and so did the referee stick by his or rather it stuck to him; or was that in the basketball game? Anyway I stayed. How I long to give an accurate description of all, but between “He’s up”, “He's down” and “We lost” all I can remember is Ci Dudley's bear dance a la Ted Shawn. To be short in telling this I must simply say it was a match full of it and it was that we lost it to Sarah Kuce. It was the arms and not the ages that got us. Olive Oil Sarah Kuce till we meet again. When the gong strikes, I will be here next time between 8:30 and 9 to talk to you again. Write me in care of Ginger Snaps.

Trucks are real handy, done hath ink? THE SIGHMAR AT LAST WE HEAR BEVIER AND EASTMAN AGREE Is it Possible? Both student bodies of Bevier and Eastman have come together to extend their unanimous vote of thanks to student council for giving them a refund of actual money. It will amount to $3.00 per person. This refund is on Student Association Fees which were included in the tuition at the beginning of the semester. The students sincerely hope that the council will remain in this friendly mood. It has been rumored that this reduction was due to the fact that the council was not awarding gifts to its members for their untiring efforts this year. If this is true, they are setting a commendable example of school spirit by doing as the other organizations have done and are still doing, that of working diligently with no material reward for their efforts. INTELLIGENCE TESTS FOR TEACHER TRAINING STUDENTS Intelligence tests will be given all teacher training Seniors next year. Freshmen will no longer submit to the nerve wracking examinations to find out if they are morons or not Next year it will be taken for granted Why burden the public with school teachers who are not all there? Prof. Thomason has a set of fool proof questions which he will submit to the seniors next year. Anyone making an J. Q. of more chan average will be barred from the teaching profession from now on. “School boards do not want geniuses. “ says Prof. Ulp. “They want average or below average students for their positions ’ As a result persons of mediocre ability will now stand the chances of securing positions. You know students some of us are needed to wash dishes and mend socks, we can't all be school ma’ams.

A. i8i ODE TO AN M. I. LOCKER How dear to my heart is that tall skinny locker, That tall skinny locker that stands in the hall The hooks and the hinges, the shelf over- flowing. With all the fool junk I bought in the fall. How I've jammed and I’ve crammed in chat tall skinny locker, That small bulging locker we have in M. I. The books and the aprons, the door with the window, That screened little window that keeps out the fly. How oft have T cursed that tall skinny locker That pest-ridden locker they rented to me. How oft have I cursed that tall skinny locker To find them all ravaged and the ants on the flee. I ne’er will forget that tall skinny locker, That much abused locker, I‘ve had for so lone. And when in the future fond mem ries pour o'er me. I'll think ro that locker I did a great wrong.

Had she heard a chorus of voices? Was that a group of starving co-eds that she saw before her? (Shakespearian). The vision became clearer, the voices were more distinct. They were crying to her to arise, and go forth to save them from starvation. Then it vanished like a bubble (remember that old tune?) but it left her a little pale (she was'nt a big tub to start with) and shakey, (you’d be too after eating at the Dorm as long as she had). She tried to laugh at the idea of a vision but still it persisted, so she arose and took a long long walk around the campus. By the time she returned she had made up her mind (one needs two covers in the winter—a wig—and a hat). She had been chosen to save her fellow Dormers from being crushed by Chef Scrimpalot. Well she knew their plight. Why didn’t they get beans or beets or buttered peas or an egg when the little colony to the northwest of them, Practise house, got steak, or shrimp or stewed tomatoes. Ah well she knew that when some maiden fair visited their domestic state she would be sure to grow faint and come nye to starving, while cruel Chef Scrimpalot laughed roguishly at the fact that there had not been enough to feed all within the realm, and that the ill fated would have to bask their time until some menial sub- stitute could be slung before them, ‘Tis little wonder that such cruel and awful thoughts should drive little Joan on to save her comrades. What should she do? What could she do? Ah me! ’Tis sad to tell but true, she could do nothing. She had eaten too long at the Dorm; and was too weak to lead the revolt. And now I must stop, for I too eat at the Dorm, and I am growing weak. 184 ARTIST MATERIALS Tizian and Flemish Oil Colors H. H. SULLIVAN, INC. 67 South Avenue 352 East Avenue ROCHESTER, N. Y.

I. classes will remind us, We can make out lives sublime. Just by starting long discussions To take up the teachers’ time. Mr. Weller in math class: I guess you have some contributions (home-work) to make this morning.” Morgan: It s just like a church offering you take what you can get.” WELL! WELL! They flung poor Jonah in the sea. The Captain, who was cross. Said, Tis a case, its seems to me, Of prophet and of loss.” Overheard in Mr. Priest's Senior Class in Argumentation: Mr, Priest: Therefore it seems to be the consensus of opinion that due to the cooler air at night, automobile engines run better. Smart Senior: You claim that they run better at night? Then how can you explain why so many of them are parked along the roads? Byword from Mr. Clement’s Liberal Com- ponent Class: A Pennsylvania Dutchman whom I used to know, once had a doorbell which would not ring so he tacked this sign above it: Button don't bell. Bump.” “What shape is a kiss?” Give me one and I’ll call it square.” “That’s not too gaudy, said the devil as he painted his tail green. He: “‘Do you know that it is dangerous when you smile?” She: No, why?” He: Because, when a smile lights up your face it might touch off the powder.” Who heard the kitten’s tail? Who’d ever think Paris-green? If a man’s wife is his betterhalf, think of the poor man who has married twice.
