Y. 1 9 3 1 VOLUME X X FOREWORD You have kissed good-by to one century, one little priceless album. You will yet kiss good-by to ten, twenty centuries. Ah1 you shall have such albums! Across the spillways come further harvests, new tumultuous populations, young strangers, crying, We are here! We belong! look at us! —Carl Sandburg Such is the Mechanics Institute of today. Having completed the first year of our Second Centennial, we go forward with the invigorating spirit of adventure; adventure in the field of endeavor, in the field of progress, and in the field of Industry, And we, the Student Body of Mechanics Institute, here present the twentieth volume of the Ramikin as an embodiment of that spirit. GOOD MORNING, AMERICA Facts stay fastened; facts are phantom. An old one-horse plow is a fact. A new farm tractor is a fact. Facts stay fastened; facts fly with bird wings. Blood and sweat are facts, and The commands of imagination, the looks back and ahead, The spirals, pivots, land places, fadeaways, The signal lights and dark stars of civilizations. Now the head of a man, his eyes are facts. He sees in his head, as in looking glasses, A cathedral, ship, bridge, railroad—a skyscraper— And the pi ans are drawn, the blueprints Fixed, The design and the line, the shape written clear. So fact moves from fact to fact, weaves, intersects. Then come more, then come blood and sweat. Then come pain and death, lifting and groaning, And a crying out loud, between paydays. Then the last ghost on the job walks. The job stands up, and joined stresses of facts. The cathedral, ship, bridge, railroad—the skyscraper— Speaks a living hello to the open sky, Stretches forth as an acknowledgement: The big job is done. By God, we made it!' Facts stay fastened; facts fly with phantom bird wings. —Carl Sandburg. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION FACULTY CLASSES FEATURES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS FRATERNITIES SATIRE CO-OPERATIVE COURSES The underlying motive of all progress is, first of all, a spirit of adventure. But this spirit must be supplemented by determination and perseverance toward a definite goal. Because those who have guided Mechanics Institute have possessed such traits as these, the School has been successful in its pioneer wort in the Reid of co-operative education. Since the Institute was founded over forty years ago, its aim has always been to maintain for its students the best possible methods of instruction. Therefore, it is with pride that we point to our co-operative system, the newest type of education. Gradually, the realization came that the technical experience received in the laboratories and class- room was not alone adequate for students who must later face the practical problems of large industrial concerns in the city. The advantage of some method of giving the students the opportunity to work in the well-equipped concerns of the city while at the same time allowing them to follow a schedule in school, seemed unquestionable. In 1923, Mechanics Institute launched upon the adventure and accordingly revised its Engineering Courses. A co-operative Retail Distribution Course was next started. The rapid success of these courses brought about revisions in the Industrial Chemical Course in 1926, the Food Administration Courses in 1928, and the Construction Supervision and Archi- tectural Drafting Course in the same year. In 1930 a Cou rse in Photographic Technology became a part of the Institute s newest type of education. In general the courses are based on a monthly plan. Two students assigned to one position alter- nate one month in school with one at work. The Construction Supervision and Architectural Drafting Cou rse differs in that the students entering in the Fall receive a full course of instruction in school until April, when they are placed at work on regular building projects until the next November. The wages received by the co-operative students enable them to pay a fair share of their expenses at School. 1 hese wages are increased with the value of the wage earner and with the proficiency he displays in his work. Results prove that the Co-operative Courses are producing efficiently trained men and women who are already fitted for their places in the industrial world. The great adventure has brought us a long way! 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 might. 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. The noble founders heard the cry That surges o'er the world today, Their dauntless spirit sends us forth, That we their precepts may obey. DOOR' W4YS This doorway has always had a friendly and neighborly welcome for the Mechanics Institute Students across-tbe- way - 16 The Romanesque Doorway of Bevier Building at once at- tracts interest and acts as an incentive to attempt the many fascinating occupations of the students within. 17 The Eastman Doorway, in its substantial, practical appear- ance, at once symbolizes the atmosphere within 18 Though unpretentious in ap- pearance, the 'side ' door- way of Eastman Building is an important one. It leads directly to the Home Econom- ics Department. 19 ■F- -A C U L T y FACULTY The study of Art gives great opportunity for adventure; adventure in the form of varied experiment, resulting in vigorous growth both to the School and to the student. One of our most recent adventures has been the study of drawing from motion picture episodes. This interesting departure in a new field, points to unexplored and alluring possibilities in developing our work.

JOHNS . .............................President . Director Evening School Associate Director Evening School , Director School of Applied Art Director School of Home Economics Director School of Industrial Arts The Mechanics Institute Evening School dates back to the beginning of the Institute itself, November, 1885. The courses first offered included mechanical, architectural, and freehand drawing, mathematics and natural philosophy. The enrollment for the first year was about six hundred and a gradual growth in numbers has brought the attendance to..more than fifteen hundred students at the present time. The subjects offered in the Evening School parallel to a degree those given in the day school, and a total of more than sixty separate classes are now meeting for evening school work. The Evening School courses are under three large headings, viz., Industrial Art, Applied Art .and Home Economics. The first of these includes ’aviation, steam engineering, mechanics, surveying, radio and photography. The Applied Art is com- posed of life drawing, sign painting, metal work and modeling. The Home Economics course trains individuals for cafeteria and tea-room management in the field of food administration, and for commercial dressmaking and costume design in the field of dress- making. The school year, from September to June, is divided into three terms and the average tuition is about ten dollars a term for attendance two evenings a week. A number of diploma courses are offered which require satisfactory completion of groups of subjects. Attendance for their completion usually requires two evenings a week, nine months a year for five years. About twenty-five percent of the students are women. The men, most of whom come from the industries, usually pursue courses that bear directly on their daily work. The courses that are the most popular subjects such as time study, steel treating, structural drafting and building estimating are offered. The amount of previous preparation varies from a common school education to college graduation, and the age of students varies from sixteen to sixty. Thus, the Evening Courses of Mechanics Institute afford an opportunity well worth taking. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ 32 FACULTY C L -A S S -E- S SENIORS Priscilla Kirkpatrick Raymond Peterson Loren Coryelf Jack McMullen OFFICERS LOREN CORYELL.....................

Treasurer Chairman Social Committee ♦ Fleeting years place a period in the course of the Senior Class of Mechanics Institute, and so we find it a fitting place to review our three years of adventure in education. In our first year, we were somewhat awed by the Upperclassmen, The various fields of study bewildered us, and after getting underway, the amount of work in our chosen courses seemed invincible. As Juniors, we kept well in time with the rest and count it a glorious year. We view with pride the success of our Junior Prom. The scholastic record which we left is also to our credit. In this, our last year, perhaps we have been a bit serious, but we have had the full realization that our three years at Mechanics Institute were at an end. It has been a worth- while adventure and one which we shall like to recall—and the memory of which will give us zeal for future accomplishments. 36 SENIORS ROBIN ADAIR ‘•Robin' Wyoming, New York Mechanical Co-operative I'm young yet Don’t!

We are pleased that our crew has been able to represent the school so nobly in its varied activities. With pardonable pride we present one of the best basketball teams and one of the most brilliant and enjoyable Proms in the annals of the school. Our interest; however, lies not so much in this present glory as in the promise of a still brighter future. 80 J U N i o r s FOOD ADMINISTRATION I Wedd Slaybough Rowland Brown Webster Campbell Ingalls Wilson FOOD ADMINISTRATION II Wilson Campbell Short Le Feber Somers Udall Nioloy ELECTRICAL, SECTION !

Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer Social Committee As our Freshman year draws to a close, we, the Class of 1933, pause in our struggle for higher education to review this past year and to contemplate the future. This has been an extremely successful year for us. We have survived the resounding paddles, the atrocious rouged noses, the tell-tale green ties and the absurd mismated stockings of initiation. We have been well represented in all school organizations. We pride ourselves in our athletes and in the spirit we have put into our cheers for them. As we look ahead, we can only hope that we may follow in the steps of our worthy predecessors during our Junior and Senior years and be graduated a credit to our Alma Mater. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ 90 FRESHMEN FOOD ADMINISTRATION, SECTION I Sanders Ortlieb Terry Williams Martin Rosenberg McIntyre FOOD ADMINISTRATION, SECTION II Vreeland Green Palmer Sloan Crisp Udall Ginnegan Bromley Cash in Wheeler Hooper Holmes James Turk Mickey Shifflette 91 F R N E S H M E ELECTRICAL, SECTION l-A Cook Dix Bibby Glott Gilbert Stafford Miller Hewson Glor Maxwell VanOstrand Wells Mackee Parish Bailey Armendinger Takel Estes Murphy Carlson Johnson Whetstone Krack Becker Wolfe SchoFf Baxter Harter Batson Kelly ELECTRICAL, SECTION l-C Bush Toole Holcomb Roome Tripani Frentz Dudley Davie Ferneyhough Morse Benjamin McKee Randall Estes Olds Littel Burwash Lang Sibson Wilkins Field 92 ___________31 FRESHMEN ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ELECTRICAL, SECTION ll-A Miller Rist Newman Glor Coleman Vosburg Sinclair Bibby N, Brubaker Stapleton Paul Spinuzzi Morton Walton Hux Cohes Short Guman Kreusch Carey Gotts WavJe Wilcox Engdahl MECHANICAL, SECTION LA Champlin Krajewski Ressigue Donner Dikeman Atkinson Owen Swanson Bristol Nesbitt Fries Detsch Clor Power Marriott Church Cone 93 FRESHMEN MECHANICAL, SECTION ll-B Cobb Baskey Silver Cummings Colici no Ambuska Reimann Ericcson Proctor Pribus Maury Rix Hawkins Bieber Longleway Howa rd Joslyn MECHANICAL, SECTION !I-C Dash Knipper Blakely 94 Nowakowski Randall FRESHMEN CHEMICAL, SECTION I Holmstrom Crocker Masloski Hollister Heaphy Bauer CHEMICAL, SECTION II Hartley White Barret Knipper Johnson Polito Dewey Potachek Philips McDonald 95 FRESHMEN PHOTO TECH, SECTION Brinkman Sherman Dege Eisenhart Sweeney Cleveland Knight Zingerle McCumber Bosek Moore Comfort Woodburn PHOTO TECH, SECTION, Clark Chesterman Hargrove Maley Guetersloh Motyer Butler Matthews Beehtofd Hull 96 FRESHMEN COSTUME ART Rombach Atwell Whipple Kuhn Bryan Dunn Austin Sparkes Hall Walls Fraser Schweder retail distribution Bobbet Daniels Buckholtz Finley Wilson Feeney Durkie Halstead Redding Smith McNair St, John Fulmer Dentico Bates Polvino Loeffler Bronson Ryan Miffs Watrous Lyman Hoxie Slack 97 _ir___________ FRESHMEN INTERIOR DECORATION AND TEACHER TRAINING ART Clark McDonald Spacher Cook Riegel Leach H utter Klinord Leffler Hicks Pritchard Phillips Voerg Tartaglia Graney ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ILLUSTRATION Carruth Karle Squire Ribeke Carfson MdcKearnin Foley Potter Cook Shaw Haskell Brown Shaff Keyes Cahoon Geyer Jerry Espenmilier Kurtz Tallman Chapman Roberts Keating Pribus Kelley Matthews 93 FRESHMEN CONSTRUCTION Reed Duncan Refs Holmes Gonyo Knapp Deane Jackson Tirpe Ferguson Warder Smith Scrfven Rohr Kubovciak Wagner Hocmer Olsen DeClerk Stockwell Trau Wolff Schrenko Spano Martin Waterbury Drummond Soplop Hall ROLL CALL ART Barbara Brown Muriel Haskell Mildred Moskow Raymond Carlson Erna Hutter George Phillips Audrey Chapman Albert Jerry Carol Pritchard Beulah Clark John Kaile Alice Rickard Doris Cohoon Mary Louise Keating Doris Reigel Edith Cook Jean Kelly Jacques Roberts George Cook Lillian Keyes Phillip Rybke Ruth Espenmi ler Anna Kiefer Bernard Schaft Catherine Filkins Mildred Klinord Dorothy Shaw Janet Foley Elizabeth Kurtz Helen Smith Elfsworth Gaylord Mary Leach John Spacher Joseph Geyer Marian Leffler Stanley Squire Hazel Goodale James MacKearnin Virginia Tallman Eleanor Graney George Mathews Margaret Middaugh Emma Voeig 99 FRESHMEN ROLL CALL CHEMICAL CO-OPERATIVE E.

The first big event of the evening was the Inter-Fraternal Basketball Game which was won by the Chi Delta Phi Fraternity from their age-old rivals, the Chi Epsilon Phi Frater- nity. The game proceeded not too smoothly, due to the keen rivalry. Shouts of Hurrah! burst from the supporters of the winning team followed by the more feeble cheering of the losers, as the game progressed. The Alumni-Varsity Game, the second event of the evening, turned out the usual way with this Season's Heroes causing their papas much remorse. At the dancing which followed the games, elated couples dashed to and fro im- pelled by the strains of ignited music. The Giggelos saw to it that everyone enjoyed the intoxicating rhythm. But, too soon the fast flying hours cautioned the frolicking crowd that it was time to retire for the night and to register as passe another Great Mardi Gras.

Freshman, Applied Arts Junior, Retail Distribution The Student Council, for the past sixteen years, has been composed of a faculty advisor, and one representative from each Freshman, Junior and Senior Class of the Schools of Industrial Arts, Applied Arts, and Home Economics. This year the group has become the Executive Council and is supplemented by one representative from each recognized School Organization to form the complete Student Council. It is the purpose of the Executive Council to stimulate the highest possible type of school spirit, and to maintain the highest standards of good sportsmanship. It is also entrusted with the upholding of the customs and traditions of the Institute. The general Student Council acts as the students’ representative in their contacts with the Faculty. This year the Council adopted, as a trial measure, the guest admittance to all athletic events. To date this has proven very satisfactory and has done much toward maintaining the high type of sportsmanship that the students desire. n 109 1I______________ ORGANIZATIONS RAMIKIN STAFF Editors-in-Cbief Assistant Editors Art Editor Assistant Art Editor Marion Wright Theodore Van Brunt Mary Ann Jenks Anne Kent Thomas Comerford Caroline Jordan Business Managers r r J?€SUL.yen C O.

This year it began very successfully with a membership of over seventy-five embryo artists. Maintained in the common interests of the Students of the School of Applied Art, the members were given an excellent opportunity of expressing themselves through their individual mediums and techniques at the Sketch Classes held each Thursday Evening. Prizes were awarded for the outstanding sketches and the members were fortunate in having a costumed model for their work. The Initiation, the Annual Hallowe'en Masquerade and the Christmas Party were the high spots in the year. The Masquerade was one of the most colorful dances of the Social Season and was attended by the largest crowd Bevier Building has ever seen. 113 It ORGANIZATIONS Mr. Barton Adviser Mr. Casad Director GLEE CLUB ROLL CALL Jane Baltz Evelyn Clark Anita Cotrael Betty Garrity Lillian Keyes Cecelia Kilner Regina Landow Rose A nne Langhans Florence Martin Martha McCabe GIRLS Margaret Palmer Helen Rowland Ruth Smith Louise Tallamy Ruth Taylor Isabelle Udall Martha Udall Thelma Ward Lorraine Williams Doris Wilson ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ MEN F.

JOHN KLUMP THEODORE VAN BRUNT FREDERICK BLACKBURN CLEMENS STARCK . Librarian Business Manager Faculty Adviser Director In the year 1925 the Girls' Glee Club and the Men's Glee Club were formed as separate organizations. Since that time they have continued independent of each other, except for occasional Concerts and Operettas. In the Fall of the school year 1930, a new plan of organization was adopted. The two Glee Clubs combined to form the Glee Club of Mechanics Institute. The original purpose of the founders of the Glee Clubs was to fill an urgent need for musical expression in the School, and it was the purpose of those who instituted the new combined plan to further this expression by making it possible for the men and women to work out the parts of chorus numbers in closer contact. It was hoped that better results and more strength as an organization, would develop. At the completion of this, the first year of the Combined Glee Club, the plan has proven a success, for the present Glee Club of Mechanics Institute under the leadership of Mr. Casad has become an important activity both to the individual members and to the School. 115 ORGANIZATIONS Lincoln Newman Foster Merchant Taff Morecock Mosher McKeown Ward ELECTRICAL ASSOCIATION NORMAN R.

This group felt the handicap under which the student was put when he left school on the day that his alternate came from work. With united effort they conducted meetings on the average of once a month, and secured speakers from the Industries in and near the City of Rochester, This year the E. S. A., as it is termed, has made great progress, under the guidance of Mr. E. M. Morecock, our new Adviser. The membership numbered over one hundred twenty, and all meetings were attended with enthusiasm. One meeting each month, held on the second Thursday of the calendar month, has kept the men in close touch with each other during the past year. 116 ORGANIZATIONS McCarthy Young: Andrews .

With the co-operation of Mr, Braden, Mr. Johns and Mr. Priest, a charter and constitution were drawn up and officers elected for the year. Its purpose is to create a more profound interest and a broader conception of chemical work than the classroom affords. Regular meetings are held the third Thursday of every section and the large attendance shows that interest is not lacking. The organization has been able to secure some of the most prominent speakers from Kodak Park, Bausch and Lomb Optical Company, and the City Chemical Laboratory. Films have been shown at each meeting. According to the interest shown this year towards the new MICA Club, a great future is predicted for the coming year. 118 ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ORGANIZATIONS BJust Flood Doane Dentico EDWARD DOANE .

Student Council Representative The Retailers' Association is one of the youngest organizations of its kind in Mechan- ics Institute. Its membership is composed of the entire student body of the Retailing Courses. In the beginning, the purpose of the Association was to carry on the social activi- ties of the group. However, in the past year the members have made plans to carry the aim of the organization beyond the social circles. The intentions of the organization is to bring about, once a month, meetings of the members at which times some eminent speaker of the Retailing world will be entertained. So far this year the Association has been privileged to hear Dr. Paul Nystrome, Professor of Marketing at Columbia University,- Dr. W. W. Charter, Director of Research at Ohio State U niversity; and Professor Borden of New York University. The students also took advantage of the invitation of the Rochester Retail Institute of the Chamber of Commerce to attend the series of nine lectures held every second Wednesday Evening at the Chamber of Commerce Building in St. Paul Street. Perhaps the most enjoyable social event of the year was the party given the whole group by one of its members, Edna Howard, at her home on Hillside Ave. A spring party is a regular feature of the Association program. 119 Grbbs Haskell Jensen Lockwood Thomas Jordan Cooper Fraser DORMITORY COUNCIL MRS.

Since that time it has broadened its field of activities to a great extent. Many interesting speakers, artists, and musicians have entertained at the meetings.

It was the consensus of opinion of a group of senior instructors that there should be an Honorary Organization in Mech- anics Institute. This group upon its own initiative formulated the constitution and by-laws of the Society. Since the Institute was founded by Captain Henry Lomb, it was thought appropriate to name the organization the Henry Lomb Society. His sterling qualities of manhood, and the ideals of citizenship and unselfish service which he so conspicuously exemp- lified, were adopted as the character attributes which should ever be paramount in the lives of its members. The Society is empowered to elect each year a certain proportion of the graduating class. Membership is based on scholastic attainments, character traits, and interest and participation in student affairs.

All stud ents who have taken one year's work, as well as all graduates of day or evening School, are eligible for membership and are carried on the records as long as trace of them can be found. The School gives each graduate one year’s membership in the Association and it then becomes optional whether dues are paid yearly or a Life Membership paid for,- the fee is very small and well within the reach of everyone. All names are recorded whether dues are paid or not but the paid members, only, receive the issues of Psimar which carry Alumni news pages. Every June the graduating class is the guest of the School at the Alumni Dinner and at the same event special re-unions of classes are held. These re-unions bring back old school friends from all parts of the world and serve to make stronger, each year, the bond of interest between the School and its Alumni. The class of 1931 is welcomed into the Alumni Association by the Officers and Members. 124 P O -ft. T S SPORTS Albert Coleman Manager Mark Ellingson Coach Sherman Hagberg Faculty Mgr. 1930-1931 WRESTLING During the past three years Mechanics Institute has engaged in twenty-seven wrestling meets of which twenty-one were won, five were lost and one, wi th Ch icago Univeisity, was tied. Wrestling as a physical exercise and builder of character, has no equal. Twenty-six men appeared in dual meets on two teams this year while fully forty more have derived beneficial exercise in practice sessions. It is planned to have four teams next year—Varsity, Varsity Reserves, Frosh and Frosh Reserves, By this plan, about fifty men will be able to appear in dual meets while upwards of a hundred will benefit directly from this, the oldest of sports. 125 SPORTS VARSITY WRESTLING TEAM Mechanics Institute Wrestling Team was successful in winning five of the nine scheduled meets for the Year. Buffalo and Alfred University were twice the victims of the Mat-Men from Rochester, while Case University was also defeated. The Varsity totaled 156 points to their opponents' 141. Mosher led in individual scoring with 25 points to his credit while Captain Jones gained a close second with 23 points. Thomas, Pike, Schantz, Curtis, Shopmeyer, Roche and Polito scored, respectively. Schantz did great work in defeating Forward of Syracuse in a hard fought contest. Thomas scored falls over Ward of Alfred twice, and also over Shapiro of Buffalo, proving his ability as a clever wrestler. Peterson came through with flying colors to throw Strom of Michigan State and Rothstein of Alfred in fast aggressive contests. Shopmeyer did consistent good work in meeting four captains of the nine opposing teams. Lytton of Case, who is six feet, five inches tall, tangled with Mosher in a mass of arms and legs. When the referee unraveled them, he gave Mosher a fall. Captain Jones finished a very successful season with his old rival, Captain Flint of Alfred. When these two men met, it was a battle of giants—masters of the game. Pike and Roche split the honors in the heavyweight division. Pike was thrown out of the ring by Hepple of Western Reserve only to come back and pin the Ohio giant. Roche closed the season for Mechanics in a very satisfactory manner by pinning Lockwood of Alfred in seven minutes and Five seconds—a hard fought contest. The Varsity Team of this year has certainly done its bit in keeping Wrestling a major sport at Mechanics Institute. 126 SPORTS ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Polito Sardfine Carlson Mdley Krack Vormwal Holcomb MacFarlane Kamola Gardner Randall FROSH WRESTLING TEAM By fighting through a schedule of ten meets and winning seven, Coach Davis’ husky Frosh made a big contribution to the Season s Athletic Program. They have developed into a corps of seasoned material for next year's Varsity and Reserve Teams. The past Season gave fifteen men an opportunity to participate in meets. Among the mat battles that contributed heavily to the Frosh reputation were the wins over the first team of the Ithaca School of Physical Education, Alfred Reserves, and Syracuse University Frosh. The outstanding man for the Frosh was Randall in his defeat of Rothstein of the Alfred Reserves in an overtime period. This was one of the most even matches of the Year. Holcomb and Maley carried off the next highest scoring honors of the Team with thirty and twenty-eight points, respectively. Although these men were the mainstays of the team, every member showed excellent work in one and all of the meets. Due to their conscientious work, the Team came through with seven victories and three defeats. We are proud of our Frosh team and their record. May they be as successful next year with the Varsity and Reserves. 127 SPORTS WRESTLING SCORES VARSITY MEETS Mechanics Institute Varsity 29 Buffalo y, M. C.

H J. BRODIE Faculty Manager FRED CARR Manager MR. R. McKAV Coach 1930-1931 BASKETBALL SEASON This has been the most successful season M. L has ever had in Varsity Basketball. The team played seventeen games, twelve of which were won, the others being lost only by very dose margins. The smooth machine work developed by the hard and tedious efforts of Coach Pete McKay brought much credit to M. L It is due to this fact also that the team has so successfully met an unusually heavy schedule. Captain A.” Niermeyer and Mark Eisenhart were the high scorers of the Season. These high scores were brought about only by the fast floor work and steady plugging of Dutch Zeitler and the good pass work of Rip Warren and Bill Eisenhart, Coryell, our sturdy Center, featured many games with his overhead shots. Tommy” Slowe, with his plugging and cool headwork, also helped to make the Season a success. A “Sporting” schedule was made up at the beginning of the Season by the co- operation of Faculty Manager Harold Brodie and Manager Fred Carr, By adding Cook Academy to our opponents, they served to make the season one of the most interesting on record. Awards for this year's work were given as follows: Letters and sweaters to one-year men: Thomas Slowe, Mark Eisenhart, Fred Carr, Manager, Gold Basketballs to two-year men: William Eisenhart, Albert Niermeyer, Bremen Zeitler, Paul Warren. Athletic Blankets to three-year men: Loren Coryell. 129 s PORTS BAILEY Bail , as he i? known by the members on the squad, hails from the local courts in Roches- ter. Although he never made a name for himself before, he has started one here at M, J. All of the students like him and want to know him better. Everyone will have that chance before he is graduated in 1933. ZEITLER Dutch as everyone knows, was our speed king this year. He covered the greatest number of miles on the smallest space of any man M. I. has ever had. His feet are small but he certainly can make them go. This was his second season with us and we are looking for great things from him again next year. JOHNSON Millie showed his stuff in the last R. B. I. game this year when he was sent in the game amidst much excitement. He was the cool one on the team and did much to win this game by keeping his head, Everyone likes Millie ’—es- pecially the girls and we are expecting him to play basket- ball next year—just like he dances. WARREN Rip is just like a leech when it comes to guarding his men, but sure does leave them be- hind when he gets the ball. He wins and loses just the same and shows his cheerfulness at all times. Everyone likes Rip and will be right here to wel- come him back for his last sea- son on the court next fall. CORYELL Cory , as everyone knows our big center of three seasons, was the main stay of the team this year, The team itself was built around him and the thrill m all of our games was Cory's overhead pop shots. “Cory” will be a great loss to M. I. next year for he was always there in everything. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ► 130 SPORTS ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ EISENHART Mutt as he is known to dll of his closer friends both here and et Horseheads, made his position good this year on the M. L team. He can shoot from any angle and did much to help win all our games. He has al- ready added to the Eisenhart record at M. I. and we are looking for big things from him for the next two seasons. Watch him go! SLOWE Tommy is the old standby on our team. He shows up when least expected. His name may lead people to get the wrong impression of him for he is as fast as the best of them. He will be back with us again next season so if you don t know him already you had better get acquainted then. MATTHEWS Mattie is another one of those long lanky boys from Horseheads. He didn't have much of a chance to show his stuff this season but we are looking for big things from him during the next two years. Keep your eye on Mattie. NIERMEYER AC ', as our captain and guard for this year, was right there to pile up the points. He held his men to the lowest possible points while gathering his share for us. He is a plugger and always in the thick of the battle. A! will be back again next season to add to our veteran team. BILL EISENHART ’Bill just as last year was a shining light on our team. He is the one that the crowd gets a thrill out of and is still in the hearts of all of the students. Bill likes his fights and we like him for his fighting both on the courts and off. He has a better disposition than most people think and we would all like to know him better. Watch this blond go again next year. 131 SPORTS BASKETBALL SCORES Mechanics Institute. ....... . 46 Mechanics Institute. 39 Mechanics Institute. ... . . 39 Mechanics Institute 54 Mechanics Institute 26 Mechanics Institute 32 Mechanics Institute. 30 Mechanics Institute. , .43 Mechanics Institute 31 Mechanics Institute 38 Mechanics Institute........ 31 Mechanics Institute ... .39 Mechanics Institute .34 Mechanics Institute 40 Mechanics Institute. . 49 Mechanics Institute 35 Mechanics Institute 47 Totals 653 Mechanics won 12—Lost 5 St. Andrews Seminary.............27 Genesee Wesleyan Seminary........12 Geneseo Normal...................22 St. Andrews Seminary. ...... 34 Brockport Normal.................36 Rochester Business Institute.....43 Cook Academy.....................26 Gen eseo Normal....... . . .30 Oswego Normal................... 28 Buffalo State Teachers College. . .22 Cook Academy.....................34 The Manlius School...............45 University of Rochester Frosh....37 Rochester Business Institute.....38 Oswego Normal....................43 Genesee Wesleyan Seminary........28 Alumni......................... 34 539 INDIVIDUAL SCORES Players Games Field Goals Foul Goals Total Eisenhart, M. 17 55 29 139 Eisenhart, W. 15 29 13 71 Niermeyer, A. 17 55 25 135 Coryell, L, 17 33 26 92 Zeitler, B. 17 41 23 105 Warren, P. 17 24 27 75 Slowe, T. 9 1 1 3 Johnson, P. 9 1 0 2 Spano, A. 8 0 0 0 Bailey, R. 13 14 1 29 Matthews, J. 12 1 0 2 Totals 17 254 145 653 132 s RTS P O CHI BETA KAPPA BASKETBALL TEAM FORWARDS HOLLAERT CARPENTER PAUL McMullen CENTERS GONYO PIKE GUARDS CALL THOMAS DOYLE EERNEYHOUGH The Chi Beta Kappa Basketball Team has completed its second year in the Inter- Fraternal Basketball League.

Before 1922, there was no organization among the girls to co-operate the social and athletic activities of the School, but since that time the G. A. A. has gained in member- ship and prestige, until it is today a leading spirit in the School, The word athletics in Girls' Athletic Association has been changed to Activities ' as it was felt that activities was more general and included both the social and athletic innovations of the organization. G, A. A. is a chain of ever-increasing length containing links of such strength and vitality that its longevity seems assured. The opportunity which it affords the girls for becoming better acquainted, experiencing true sportmanship and friendly rivalry, cannot fail to result in a better School Spirit. The organization owes much to Miss Proper whose council and assistance have aided G. A. A. in attaining its present position and, for our future leaders, we look to the girls whose all-around qualities have enabled them to make good in this organization. HIKING Last Fall the hiking season started with a visit to Indian frail down the River Gorge. In October there was an early breakfast hike with cooking over an open fire and plenty to eat. As winter prog- ressed the hiking group became skaters, skiiers and tobogganers — and many fine outings were planned. In March followed a Trea- sure Hunt at Ellison Park, in April a Steak Roast and in May, a thrilling over-night hike to the woods on Black Creek, Anyone who is interested in hiking or Winter Sports is in- vited to join the group next year. 139 s P o RTS SWIMMING In the picture from left to right are: Louise Tallamy, Elsie Gunkler and Margy Lou Payne GOLF The old swimming hole’’ at Brick Church was in charge of Elsie Gunkler this year. And the plunge for all swimmers following the life-saving instruction was a very success- ful innovation. This particularly appealed to the group which bowled earlier in the evening. The school has boasted of four Red Cross Life Saving swimmers already—Louise Tallamy, Regina Landow, Elsie Gunkler and Margy Lou Payne, and last Fall Edith Cook joined the quartette. These Life Saving classes as well as the Plunge were held on Thursday evenings. Better get in the swim next time. This year Margy Lou Payne was in charge of Golf. About twenty-two girls turned out for practice and while a few dropped by the wayside, there were still a great many to enjoy the Outdoor Golf Tourna- ment this Spring at Genesee Valley Park. There is both class and in- dividual instruction which will prove invaluable for that ‘slice Keep one afternoon for Golf next year. Among the greatest golf enthus- iasts for this year were, left to right: Margaret Palmer, Margy Lou Payne, Eleanor Monday, Ruth Mix and Dorothy Millham. 140 SPORTS ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ TENNIS Josephine Jones was the winner of the 1930 Tennis Tournament and certainly a qualified person to be in charge of that sport this year.

Directly after Easter Vacation the racket-wielders took to the Park courts and had some real competition among themselves. It's not too late for you to learn this fast game—Just join the beginners next year. And it is rumored that Badminton, the English game of Battledore and Shuttlecock and Ping-Pong, both second cousins to Tennis, may soon be included in the list of School Sports. Some of those entered in the Tourney were, left to right: Jose- phine Jones, Elsie Gunkler, Marion Wright, Mary Louise Keating and Anna Ballarian, RIDING This Spring the trees have seem- ed more green, the ground not so far away, just because of the splen- did practice last Fall. A Class of ten or twelve met every Friday after- noon during the Riding Season. There was also a Spring Class of beginners on Wednesday Evenings for those in the Co-operative courses, in preparation for the real thing next Fall. Ruth Plante was in charge of the sport. In the Picture, left to right; Margaret Dean, Ruth Plante, Mar- garet Palmer, Ruth Taylor, Muriel Haskell and Louise Tallamy. To Horse, To Horse, To Horse and away! There was much to horse last Fail and not so much away as all of the Fall Riding was done in-doors at the Culver Road Armory. It was much more exciting though than it sounds for real horsemanship was taught by experienced cavalrymen. 141 SPORTS BOWLING Bowling under the leadership of Anna Ballarian, took place every Thursday evening, from 7:30 to 9:00 P. M., at Brick Church Institute. Almost forty girls partici- pated and the First half of the Tour- nament ending just before Thanks- giving, found the group enthusiastic for more. In March the Sport was again resumed with a bigger turn- out than ever, This was due to the fact that all of three alleys were provided which eliminated long waiting and slow games. The highest score for the year was 172, bowled by Marian Whitbeck, withBeatrice Jorole- man a close second. All who have tried the Sport real- ize it is the best of exercise and trains the eye and hand for accuracy. Try your luck next year. The lineup below from left to right Is as follows: Marion Whitbeck, Beatrice Joroleman, Alice Vogan, Sarah Clark, Helen Sch nacke I and Anna Ballarian. BASKETBALL Over thirty girls, Freshmen and Upperclassmen, turned out for Basketball this past Season, and from those who were at practice regu- larly, two strong teams were formed. Practice and games were held in the Gymnasium on Friday afternoons from 4:30 to 5:30. The Upperclass Team included Helen Rose, Ruth Mix, Dorothy Wilder, Louise Tal- lamy, Martha McCabe, Alice Klinke and Betty Garrity. The Freshmen Team, consisting of Ruth Espenmiller, Catherine Filkins, Mary Louise Keating, Carol Pritchard, Barbara Brown and Mary Wheeler, met the Upperclass- men in friendly com- petition several times. The strong Freshmen Team was victorious in the first game with a a score of 18-14. A Vars i ty Tearn was alsoformedof Klinke, Millham, Payne, Mc- Cabe, Garrity, Kurtz, Mix, Espemiller, Filkins, Keating, Prit- chard and Brown. Miss Ruth Mix was Manager. 142 ■FJiAT-EJiN IT I -E-y FRATERNITIES 21 Hammecker Thomas Comerford Patterson Smith McMullen Newman Doane Hollaert Eisenhart Shopmeyer Klump Piatt McKeown INTER-FRATERNAL COUNCIL DONALD PIATT.......................... john McMullen......................... WILLIAM SHOPMEYER..................... RUBEN HOLLAERT........................ President . Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer The Inter-fraternal Council was founded in 1922, At that time there were only three fraternities at Mechanics Institute. During the past few years two other frater- nities have been organized. At the beginning of each year each Fraternity elects three representatives to the Council, The representatives meet every two weeks to carry out any business which may be common to all the Fraternities, The Council s primary purpose is to promote inter-fraternal co-operation in business and social activities. These consist of scholastic competition, basketball, dances and rush parties. At present the Council has two standing awards, a scholastic trophy for the fraternity attaining the highest scholastic standing, and a basketball cup for the winner in the Inter-fraternal Basketball League. The school s largest open social function is the Mardi Gras which is run entirely by the Council, The date for this year was set at March 20th. At this event the inter- fraternal championship basketball trophy was awarded to Chi Delta Phi. The Council has been very successful thus far in attaining its purpose which is of extreme importance to the organizations it represents. i 143 It_____________ FRATERNITIES PJomason Chase R.

The purpose of the Fraternity is the promotion of better scholastic standing and good fellowship in the student body. At the completion of this, the second year, we feel the objective has been well attained. The social activities of the year began with a rush party at the Old Homestead which was attended by active members and several prospective members. After a successful pledge period the formal initiation took place Following the initiation a dinner dance was held in honor of the new brothers. The Fraternity sponsored a rather novel party in the form of a Hard Times Dance which was one of the outstanding features of the school year. The social calendar for the year was very successfully com- pleted with a formal dinner dance. We, the underclassmen, wish to congratulate the graduating members and hope that they will be successful in their chosen work. We shall do our utmost to carry on their good work in the Fraternity. 14b FRATERNITIES Kosoc Kenyon Smith M, Eisenhart Ewer W. Eisenhart Slowe Matthews Murphy F.

In 1920 the organization was incorporated as the Chi Delta Phi Fraternity under the Statute laws of the State of New York. In the past season the Fraternity has been unusually successful in carrying out its social and fraternal activities. The first event, the first open dance of the school year, was well attended and a good time was had by all . It also served as an incentive to the members to hold other functions. The season's rush party was held at Pittsford Inn, with nearly eighty rushees attend- ing, On January seventeenth, a pledge dance was held and judging from the number of alumni brothers present, which was nearly greater than active members, the dance was a marked success. The informal and formal initiations, which were carried out with the usual trials and tribulations for the pledges have secured for the Chi Delta Phi eighteen new members. The Fraternity has been fortunate in receiving these new men in the brotherhood, and expects much of them in the future as brothers of the Chi Delta Phi. The date for the Annual Spring Formal of this year was May first. It was the usual success and one of the social highlights. The brothers of Chi Delta Phi feel that this year has been one of the best in the history of that Fraternity, 147 It FRATERNITIES Cook Kehoe Aitcheson Roberge Rumbles Nichols Blust Whitloch Kiessling Folgman Loos Ward Hammond Getman Goodman B, Brinkman Weagraff Ries Rolands Zingerline Len2e Hobbie Chamberlain Vermeulen Jones Wharity Nelson Cull Doane Canty Piatt Farrell Seitz Craig E.

The charter members organized with the purpose in mind of including only men of the Electrical and Chemical Courses as eligible for membership. However, in 1924 it was deemed advisable to revise it', constitution in such a manner that any man in any of the day courses at the Institute would be eligible for membership. The ultimate purpose of this organization at all times has been the promotion of high scholastic standings, athletics, school spirit and a brotherly spirit toward all. The social calendar of the Fraternity reveals two outstanding functions, the annual Joe College’ Dance held at Bevier Building and the annual Dinner Dance in the spring. In keeping with one of its primary purposes, that of promoting high scholastic standings, the Fraternity offers to the senior brothers an honorary key. The key is awarded to every graduating member who has attained a general scholastic average of eighty per cent and who in the opinion of the Fratres has displayed enthusiasm and interest in the promotion of both school and fraternal activities. Chi Epsilon Phi owes much of its success to the foresight of its past and present officers, the splendid spirit of the brothers that has continually prevailed, and the in- terest and co-operation of the Honorari and Alumni brothers. 149 It_____________ FRATERNITIES Patterson Edward Lindquist Carlson Van Brunt Mehlenbacker Randall Adair Day Law Moser Clark Conroy Hammecker ComerFord Reuther Starr ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ PHI SIGMA PHI ALFRED A.

At that time Phi Sigma Phi was composed of six members whose purpose was the promotion of scholastic and social interests. Since then, well over two hundred men have been graduated from its ranks. The only break in its steadily strengthening existence was its disorganization during the World War. It was represented in that epic struggle by twenty-one men. Reorgani- zation was brought about in 1920 with thirty-five active members, Although the social activities for this year did not begin with a bang , Phi Sigma Phi feels that it has had a very successful year. The Rush Party held at the Alexandria Tea Room was a success from all angles. The thirtieth Anniversary Party held in January was also a huge success. Although there were no charter members present, there were alumni who had been graduated as far back as 1906. The open dance held in Bevier Hal! on April twenty-fourth was said to be one of the best dances of the year . Through these gatherings, the Fraternity feels that it has done much to add to the spirit of friendliness and brotherhood among its members. Phi Sigma Phi has found new strength in the form of fourteen pledges and looks to them to uphold the standards of manly conduct, earnest effort in studies, and faithfulness to the School, all of which have ever been apparent in Phi Sig brothers. To the seven graduating members, the Fraternity extends best wishes for a very suc- cessful future. 151 It_____________ FRATERNITIES Pigage Weftzer Bldckmer Gwilt Coleman Western Casey Ducat ' Closs Wilcox Shaver Swain Dantz Klump Lincoln McKeown Blackburn Johnson Newman Jones Detsch ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ PI KAPPA GAMMA FRAMES HONORARI IN FACULTATE FREDERICK H.

After obtaining the recognition of the Administration, the Fraternity set themselves up against the ordeals that are peculiar to an infant organiza- tion. 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 origi- nal membership. This, the second year, has been most successful. Nine pledges were taken into the Fraternity on January eighteenth and are already well on their way to ’’carrying on”. The annual dance was held in Bevier Building on January twenty- fourth and, in the opinion of those present, was one of the best of the year. 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 scholastic status, and to expand the Fraternity to other schools of the same type as Mechanics, The first three of these objectives 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. 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 third year with even greater hopes. 153 RATERNITIES Chapman Sanders Rombaek Middaugh Tallman Holmes McNair Graney Kent McIntyre Vaughn Rosenberg Cashin Kuhn T.

The Alphe Psi Sorority was organized in nineteen hundred and twenty by a group of ten girls, whose affection for one another and whose similar interests in life led to the union which has endured to this day. The ideals of the Sorority were then, and are now, to live truly, play fairly, and extend a warm friendship both to its own sisters and to the other girls in the school. These ideals laid the foundation for the forty active members now in the Sorority, and we know that future sisters will continue to uphold these traditions in the years to come. Our friendship extends beyond the limits of our fellow students to less Fortunate people. Each year at Christmas time, Alpha Psi provides a basket of supplies For some needy family, and toys are given to the poor children in the Day Nursery. Th is year has been one of the most enjoyable in the record of Alpha Psi Sorority. Rushing did not begin until the second semester, which made it possible to know and understand our new girls more thoroughly than under the previous system. We are very happy to greet our new sisters whose interest and enthusiasm promise many happy days in the future. From our first gay rush party held at the Blarney Stone, through our formal pledge dinner at the University Club, to our final initiation held in the Normandie Apart- ments, Alpha Psi has progressed with memorable pleasure. This year we held for the first time an Open Formal, following initiation dinner at the Normandie. This attempt was such an undeniable success, that we plan to make it an annual custom. The only shadow across our future pathway is the fact that next year we lose one of our most beloved and staunch supporters, Mrs. Lockwood. Although we wish her every joy and happiness in the future, we are deeply sorry to have her leave us. Alpha Psi will never forget her kindness and her interest in our Sorority. 155 it_____________ FRATERNITIES Davis Gibbs Thomas Wellener Short Tyson Whitmore Terry Casselman Williams Walters Tallamy DeWolfe Schnackel Hunt E, Clark S.

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. Today, Delta Omicron has twenty-three active members who are striving to main- tain the precedent set by their honored predecessors. In February, Delta Omicron again received into its number four new members who have pledged themselves to help carry on in the true Delta Omicron spirit. To these new members, we wish as many years of happiness as we, of the graduating class, have had. The outstanding social events include the informal Thanksgiving Dance held in Bevier Building on November 15th, the Annual Formal Dance held on May 8th, and the future houseparty to be held on May 29th to 31st. 157 ir_____________ FRATERNITIES Baker Bentley Kurtz Pritchard Rogers Wright Shaw Somers Taylor Watkins Savage Gunkler Payne Dunn Jones Fraser Manson Ward Palmer Thomas Stamp Backus Wertman Millham ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ PHI UPSILON PHI MR.

UPSILON PHI Phi Upsilon Phi, the first sorority organized at Mechanics Institute, had its beginning in November 1919. The purpose was to further a spirit of friendship and unity between the School of Applied Art and Household Arts and to encourage and strengthen the highest ideals and standards. Tradit ions, passed down through the thirteen years of Phi Upsilon Phi’s existence, have become an integral part of the organization. These traditions endear the purposes of the organization to the hearts of its members. It is through fidelity, fidelity to each and every sister member, fidelity to the School in encouraging high scholarship, fidelity to all with whom contact is made; it is through unity, unity which makes for coherence and coherence for emphasis; and finally it is through respect and esteem toward everyone that Phi Upsilon Phi strives to become a true sisterhood. To the future Phi Upsilon Phi, we, who are graduates, entrust our hopes and aims. 159 FRATER N I T I E S Lussow Munson Howard Adams Wilson Green Walls Quackenbush Austin Schweder Leach Arnold Hufbert Nye Bates Ballarian Kirkpatrick Loomis Jensen Bronson Bromley McOuilkin Holmes Miss Gertrude Sykes Miss Hazel Burkey SIGMA KAPPA DELTA HONORARY MEMBERS Mr Byron Culver Miss Mary Havens Mrs. Priscilla Jacquith Miss Caroline Riker Anna Ballarian Letha Holmes SORORES 1931 Pauline Hulbert Ingeborg Jensen Dorothy Nye Viola Wilson SORORES 1932 Edna Howard Eleanor Lussow Priscilla Kirkpatrick Lucille Loomis Mary Alice Quackenbush Jane Bates Ellen Bronson Jane Bromley Celia Durkie SORORES 1933 Neola Green Dorothy Walls Gertrude Munson Mary Mickey Bessie Arnold Doris Adams Ruth Schweder Marian McQuilken Mary Hall Helen Atwell Mary Leach Jean Austin 160 FRATERNITIES ♦ ♦ J SIGMA KAPPA DELTA The Sigma Kappa Delta Sorority was formed by a small group of girls in 1926, to promote high scholastic standards and to establish a closer relationship between the two schools. Today it has twenty-seven members who are striving to maintain the ideals constituted by the charter members five years ago. The rush party in the form of a Cruise was the first item of the social season. The annual Rainbow Hop and House Party, as well as various events within the Sorority will complete the program of the year. A splendid co-operative spirit has been shown in the participation of charity work. At Thanksgiving time a basket was given to a needy family. Other plans are being made to continue these activities. Much of the success of the sorority is due to the help and council of our faculty advisors. We here wish to express our appreciation for what they have done. The underclassmen extend sincere wishes to the graduating members and alumni for their success and happiness in the future. 161 FRATER N I T I E S Storto Batfarian Kirkpatrick Kent Gunkler Taffamy INTER-SORORITY COUNCIL ELSIE GUNKLER President LOUISE TALLAMY Vice-President EMMA LOU CAMPBELL .... Secretary PRISCILLA KIRKPATRICK Treasurer The Inter-Sorority Council was organized in 1920 in order to unite the sororities of Mechanics Institute. At that time Alpha Psi and Phi Upsilon Phi were the only sororities. Delta Omicron was founded in 1921 and Sigma Kappa Delta in 1926. The Council consists of two representatives from each sorority and three faculty advisors. Its purpose is to guide the sororities in matters of common interest and to set the dates and rules regarding the rushing of prospective pledges. As the sororities are the strongest and most enduring of the women's organizations at Mechanics Insti- tute the Council helps to retain the friendly feeling and good fellowship that has so long existed among the sororities of the Institute. 162 S -A T W—___ m ■ I -ft. -E- FOREWORD AND DEDICATORY SERVICES To HUMOR, the greatest of hu man attributes and a saving grace at all times, we dedicate this, the first volume of the SLAMIKIN. We designate it as first but realize that it has appeared in all previous annuals of our Alma Mater under assumed names. WE prefer to be franlc. DEFINITION: HUMOR: literally signifies moisture or fluid, in which sense it is used for the fluid of the human body; and as far as these humors or their par- ticular state is connected with, or has influence on, the animal spirits and the moral feelings, so far is humor applicable to moral agents. Humor is not less partial in its nature than in its duration; it fixes itself often on only one subject; or respects only one particular direction of the feelings. Humor is always independent of fixed principle; it is the feeling or impulse of the moment. We know that the above attribute lurks under the sur- face of all humans, however far, and trust that among these pages all who read will find at least a phrase to strike the spark. If, by chance, a reader should recognize his own reflection mirrored, we trust he will be generous enough to appreciate the ‘other fellow’s laugh.

Singed—A Staff Member 169 To Horse by Francis and Gertrude Warner A DUCK, we used to read in the primer at school, a duck is a long low animal covered with feathers. Similarly, a horse is a long high animal, covered with confusion. This applies to the horse as we find him in the patriotic Parade where a brass-band precedes him, an unac- customed rider surmounts him, and a drum-corps brings up his rear. In our own Welcome Home Parade, after the boys returned from France, the Legion decided to double the number of its mounted effectives: all the overseas officers should ride. All the overseas officers were instantly on their feet. Their pro- tests were loud and heated. A horse, they said, was something that they personally had never bestridden. They offered to ride anything else. They would fly down the avenue in Spads, or do the falling leaf over the arch of triumph. They would ride tanks or motor-cycles or army-trucks. But a horse was a thing of independent loco- motion, not to be trifled with, it was not the idea of getting killed that they objected to, it was the looks of the thing. By the thing they meant not the horse, but the rider. In spite of the veto of the officers, the motion was carried by acclamation. The mediaeval charm of a mounted horse-guard instantly kindled the community imagination. The chaplain, fresh from the navy, was promised a milk-white palfrey for his special use, if he would wear his ice- cream suit for the occasion. There was no time to practise before the event, but the boys were told to give themselves no anxiety about mounts. Well-bred and compe- tent horses would appear punctually just before the time for falling in. The officers were in- structed to go to a certain corner of a side street. Find the fence behind the garage where the animals would be tied, select their favorite form of horse from the collection they would see there, and ride him up to the green. When Geoffrey came home and said that he was to ride a horse in the procession, our mother, who had been a good horsewoman in girlhood, took him aside and gave him a few quiet tips. Some horses, she said, had been trained to obey certain signals, and some to obey the exact opposite. For instance, some would go faster if you reined them in and some would slow down. Some waited for light touches from their master's hand or foot, and others for their master's voice. You had to study your horse as an individual. Geoffrey said that he was glad to hear any little inside gossip of this sort, and made his way alone to the place appointed, skillfully dodging friends. We gathered that if he had to have an interview with a horse, he preferred to have it with nobody looking on. The fence behind the garage was fringed with horses securely tied, and the top of the fence was fringed with a row oF small boys, waiting. Geoffrey approached the line of horses, and glanced judicially down the row. Books on Reading Character at Sight make a great point of the distinctions between blond and brunette, the concave and the convex profile, the glance of the eye, and the manner of shaking hands. Geoffrey could tell at a glance that the hand- shake of these horses would be Firm and full of decision. As one man they turned and looked at him, and their eyes were level and inscrutable. Which of these horses, said he to the gang on the fence-top, ‘‘would you take? “This one! said an eager spokesman. He didn’t move a muscle since they hitched im This recommendation decided the matter in- stantly. Repose of manner is an estimable trait in the horse. Geoffrey looked his animal over with an artist’s eye. ft was a slender creature, with that spare type of beauty that we associate with the Airedale dog. The horse was not a blond. The stirrups hung invitingly at the sides. Geoffrey closed the inspection with satisfaction, and pre- pared to mount. In mounting, does one first untie one’s horse and then get on, or may one, as in a steam-launch, get seated First and then cast off the painter? Continued on page tjz Compliments of EGBERT F.

Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation Associated System The Best Place to Buy MEAT is FAHY’S FAHY MARKET Four Deliveries Daily 52-56 Andrews Street Main 3701 Continued from page r?o Geoffrey could not help recalling a page from ‘Pickwick Papers ’ where Mr. Winkle is climb- ing up the side of a tall horse at the Inn, and the ostler's boy whispers, Slowed if the genTman wasn't for getting up the wrong side, Well, what governs the right and wrong side of a horse? Douglas Fairbanks habitually avoids the dilemma by mounting from above from the roof of a Mexican monastery, for instance, or the fire- escape of an apartment house. From these points he lands, perpendicularly. With this ideal in mind, Geoffrey stepped on from the fence, damped his legs against the sides of the horse, and walked him out into the street. When I say that he walked him out into the street, I use the English language as I have seen it used in books, but I think that it was an ex- perienced rider who first used the idiom. Geoffrey says that he did not feel, at any time that afternoon, any sensation of walking his horse, or of doing anything else decisive with him. He walked, to be sure, dipping his head and rearing it, like a mechanical swan. But on a horse you miss the sensation of direct control that you have with a machine. With a machine you press something, and if a positive reaction does not follow, you get out and fix something else. Not so with the horse. When you get upon him, you cut yourself off from all accurately calculable connection with the world. He is, in the last analysis, an independent personality. His feet are on the ground, and yours are not. We bow to literary convention, therefore, when we say that Goeffrey walked his horse. Far ahead of him, he saw the khaki backs of two of his friends who were also walking their horses. One by one they ambled up to the green and took places in the ranks, Geoffrey discovered that his horse would stand well iF allowed to droop his long neck and close his eyes. Judged as a military figure, however, he was a disgrace to the army. If you drew up the reins to brace his head, he thought it a signal to start, and you had to take it all back, hastily. With the relaxed rein he collapsed again, his square head bent in silent prayer. With the approach of the band, however, all this changed, He reared tentatively. Geoffrey discouraged that. Then he curled his body in an unlovely manner—an indescribable gesture, a sort of sidelong squirm in semi-circular Formation. His rider straightened him out with a fatherly slap on the flank. It was time to start. The band led off. Joy to the world, thought the horse, the band is gone. The rest of the cavalry moved forward in docile files, but not he. If that band was going away, he would be the last person to pursue it. Instead of going forward, he backed. He backed and backed. There is no emergency brake on a horse. He would have backed to the end of the proces- sion, through the Knights of Columbus, the Red Cross, the Elks, the Masons, the D. A. R., the Fire Department, and the Salvation Army, if it had not been for the drum corps that led the infantry. The drum-corps behind him was as terrifying as the band in front. To avoid the drum-corps, he had to spend part of his time going away from it. Thus his progress was a (Continued on next page) 172 Continued from page 172 little on the principle of the pendulum. He backed from the band until he had to Flee before the drums. The ranks of men were demoralized by need- less mirth. Army life dulls the sensibilities to the spectacle of suffering. They could do nothing to help, except to make a clear passage for Geoffrey as he alternately backed from the brasses and escaped from the drums. Vibrating in this way, he could only discourse to his horse with words of feigned affection, and pray for the panic to pass off. With a cranky automobile, now, one could have parked down a side street, and later joined the procession, ail trouble repaired. But there was nothing organic the matter with this horse. Geoffrey could not have parked him in any case, because it would have been no more possible to turn him toward the cheering crowds on the pavement than to make him follow the band. The crowds on the street, in fact, began to regard these actions as a sort of interesting and decorative manoeuvre, so regular was the advance and retirement—something in the line of a cotillion. And then the band stopped play ing for a little. Instantly the horse took his place in the ranks, marched serenely, arched his slim neck, glanced about. All was as it should be. Geoffrey's place was just behind the marshal, supposedly to act as his aide, During all his absence from his post of duty, the marshall had not noticed his defection or turned around at all. Now he did so, hastily “Just slip back, will you,” he said, “and tell Monroe not to forget the orders at the review- ing stand.” Geoffrey opened his mouth to explain his dis- qualifications as courier, but at that moment the band struck up, and his charger backed precipi- tately. The marshal, seeing this prompt obedience to his request, faced front, and Geoffrey was left steadily receding, no time to explain and the drum-corps was taking a vacation. There was, therefore, no reason for the horse ever to stop backing, unless he should back around the world until he heard the band behind him again. As he backed through the ranks of infantry, Geoffrey shouted the marshall’s message to the officer of the day. He had to talk fast ships that pass in the night. But the message was delivered, and he could put his whole mind on his horse. He tried all the signals for forward locomotion that he could devise. Mother had told him that some horses wait for light touches from their master's hand or foot. Geoffrey touched his animal here and there, back of the ear—at the base of the brain. He even kicked a trifle. He jerked the reins in Morse Code and Continen- tal, to the tune of S.O.S. The horse understood no codes. They were now in the ranks of the Knights of Columbus, and the marching boys were making room for them with shouts of sympathetic glee. Must they back through the Red Cross, where all the girls in town were marching, and into the Daughters of the Revolution float where our mother sat with a group of ladies around the spinning-wheel? Geoffrey remembered that the Red Cross had a band, if it would only play It (Continued on page 174) Compliments of CENTRAL LAUNDRY AND SUPPLY CO., Inc C SCHAEFFER, Manager 548 ST.

On they sped, the reviewing stand almost in sight. The drum- corps had not begun to play. Could they reach the cavalry before it was too late? Geoffrey hated to pass the reviewing stand in the guise of a deserter, yet here he was cantering among the Odd Fellows, undoubtedly A, W. O. L. But Heaven was kind. The drums waited. Through their ranks dashed Geoffrey at full speed, and into the midst of his companions. The reviewing stand was very near. At a signal, all bands and all drums struck up together. The horse, in stable equilibrium at last, daring not to run forward or to run backward, or to bolt to either side, fell into step and marched. Deafening cheers, flying handkerchiefs; Geoffrey and his horse stole past, held in the ranks by a delicate balance of four-cornered fear. If you fear something behind you and something in front of you, and things on both sides of you, and if your fear of all points of the compass is pre- cisely equal, you move with the movements of the globe. GeoFfrey's horse moved that way past the stand. People took their pictures. Our father, beam ing down from the galaxy on the stand, was pleased. Later he told Geoffrey how well he sat his horse. But that evening Geoffrey had a talk with his mother, as man to man. He told her that, if these Victory Parades were going to be held often, he should vote for compulsory military training for the horse. He told her the various things his horse had done, how he went to and fro, going to when urged fro, and going fro when urged not to. Probably he had been trained to obey the opposite signals, said our mother. You must study your horse as an individual. That horse was an individual. Geoffrey studied him as such. He is quite willing to believe that he had been trained to obey the opposite signals. But Geoffrey says that he still cannot stifle one last question in his mind:— signals opposite to what? The End.
