We leave more than the physical buildings, books, halls, and settingsg we leave many of our friends in the Faculty and Student Body. Friends who have been a vital factor in making the past three years three of the most profitable and enjoyable years of our life. I We left these friendsin' June for the past two years knowing that another September would bring us together again, but not so this year. lt may be years before many of us shall again meet. September shall roll around again but no more familiar halls to walk through-no more faculty reception-initiation week shall pass without our presence- no more school dances-no more games-in fact, no more school life as a class-our school days at the Athenaeum are over-ended. V Memories, if allowed, can be real and live in their true color and glory and it shall be these memories that shall keep the past three years alive forever. Through the ensuing years we shall travel far and form many new friendships but always we will have the memories of our days and friends at old R. A. M. l.

A , ': . v . i CLASS H1sToRY Well, folks, here we are-Freshmen! Our first week we spend wandering aimlessly about, getting acquainted with our new surroundings, and trying to find just where to go next, and why. Trying to find room 999 takes another week, but we only find there is no such room in the whole Institute. We are dreading initiation, and wonder just what is about to happen to us. Perhaps we will be required to walk up Main Street on all fours, to push peanuts to classes with our noses, or any one of those play- ful little things upper-classmen are so likely to request of us. But the initiation is not so bad, after all. And ,then there is the Student Reception, for the sole purpose of getting acquainted. We suppose we had better attend, but do not particularly relish the thought of being thoroughly looked over by the faculty and student body. But we go, and much to our surprise, we like it. We leave, very much enlightened, for we have met people well worth knowing and having as friends. We become better acquainted with members of our own class at a Freshmen dance held in the Bevier Building. So ends the first chapter of our life at Mechanics. The second year we come back self-assured and proud that we are no longer the babes of the Institute. We miss the Seniors of last year but look forward to know- ing the little Freshmen who have just entered. Having outgrown a great share of our timidity, we participate whole-heartedly in student activities. The Junior Prom is something we have looked forward to for a long time, and proves to be great fun. Seniors at last! Lords and masters over all. But in spite of our superiority we are just the same old folks that entered two short years ago. Signing our names to Fresh- men notebooks is making us late to more than one class this Fall. It is a great idea for getting acquainted, and we hope it will become traditional. But the joke is on us, not the Freshman. They hold the notebooks, and we do the signing. This is the busiest year of all for every one of us. The Senior Banquet is a howling success. When we say howling we refer to the class prophecies. And to close our glorious three years at the Athenaeum we have the Senior Ball-a social triumph. All of us look forward to days full of the same happiness and success we have en- joyed here at Mechanics, for we have gained one of the most priceless assets of our lives during our three years here.

CLASS HISTORY As Frosh, our entrance into Mechanics Institute in the fall of '33 was identical with the entrance of any of the other classes. Therewith the identity ceased. Upper- classmen were quick to sense the fact that we were an extraordinary group of Frosh when we pulled the several representatives of the class of '35 through the frigid waters of Red Creek-the culmination of our initiation. While maintaining a meritorious scholastic standing in our studies, we found time to present two social functions of note-the Frosh Mixer, at which everyone made inumerable aquaintances and had a real good time, and the Frosh Snowball Dance held in the Pompeian Room of the Seneca Hotel-as smart an a affair as any Frosh class had ever given. ' Fraternities and Sororities congratulated themselves upon pledging a majority of our number. Athletic teams, technical socities, and the other extra curricular organizations found our class increasing their membership, and giving them untold support. As Juniors, we have continued to hold high our enthusiasm and interest in those things which our Alma Mater has to offer, both in the classroom and without. The incompatible smoothness of our Junior Prom, held in the beautiful ballroom of the Powers-Hotel-featuring the enchanting music of Bennie Griflin's Southernaires, was the highlight of M. I's social season. The records of Juniors as members of the Wrestling and Basketball squads-especially the latter, have been outstanding. They have contributed greatly to a season of comparative successful athletic competition. The time is drawing near when we shall be Seniors. As we look back over our record of the past two years we sincerely hope that we shall be able to uphold and, in some instances, better it-so that when graduation is reached we may feel, R. A. M. I. is just a little better for our having been here. Barkalow, Hettrick, Lebarren FRESI-IMEN OFFICERS JAMES BARKALOW . . President ' NORMAN VAN VLACK . . Vice-President ROBERT LEBARREN . .

A - CLASS HISTORY I We the class of '37, made our first appearance at Mechanics Institute on September , 1 U 0 ' io 1934 Everyone was looking forward with anticipation to three years of intellecg 1 . ' l tual and social achievements. It was very-evident that the Freshman Class would add vim and .vigor to the life of the school activities. The year started with a welcome party for the Freshman to get them acquainted with the school celebrities. The upper classmen and Freshmen, together, enjoyed the dancing and refreshments. The second week of school was a very exciting week for all Freshmen. The upper classmen became more friendly and insisted that the Freshmen be more courteous to them at all times. The Initiation Committees began issuing orders to the Freshmen. The Freshmen girls started to prepare for bad weather by carrying unbrellas, wearing mittens, and some of them were carrying their suitcases, ready to go home any mo- ment. The fellows were decorated with large green buttons, bearing their names and numbers, bright green neckties, and wilted carrots. Time drifted by and the Freshman Class officers were elected. They immediately began working on a plan for a Freshmen Frolicf' This was held on November ninth in Bevier Hall. Everyone attending had a very enjoyable evening. Now came time for the Glee Club, educational societies, Dramatic Club, and athletics to begin their plans for the year. These activities took much of the Fresh- mens' time, so there was a lull in class activity. However, after the Thanksgiving recess, the fraternities started rushing the Freshmen boys-being especially hospitable to them. As a result of this, pledge pins were placed in the lapel of many a Freshman coat. The initiation began in a very delicate fashion with just small jobs to do, such as cleaning a Brother's apartment, washing dishes, and being very polite to every Brother. The different sororities of the school held rush parties for the Freshmen girls. Every Freshman girl who attended one or more of these parties enjoyed them very much. During the first part of the second semester, the Freshman history consists primarily of school activities. The Glee Club and the Dramatic Club had a large percentage of Freshmen in attendance. The Freshman Class had a good showing in all athletics. The Freshmen wrestling team showed a great promise for next years Varsity. The Varsity Basketball team had two first year men and the Freshmen team was com- posed of competent players that will be eligible for the Varsity next year. Many Freshmen girls have shown ability in all G. A. A. activities. Now, that we have had a very successful year, we are eagerly looking forward to our junior year, and with the continued cooperation of all members of the class, we are confident that we shall be even more successful in the future. 1 ook wo INSTITUTE LIFE xx I . it if ' 1 '1 GOVERNMENT 'IPUBLAICATIONS ' ORGANI-Z ' Q A X X X X X: X 'X X X XX X XX XX X.

GOVERNING ORGANIZATIONS Donovan, Scofield, Franklin, Slocnnz, Leer STUDENT ,CGUNCIL OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL HELEN FRANKLIN, Applied Arts - Pfefiffem' JAMES LEES, Electrical . . . - ViCe-Pfefivieflf CLARK DONAVAN, Chemical , Secretary' The Student Council is composed of a group of representatives of the Student Body for the purpose of self-government and maintenance of high ideals, scholarship, and sportmanship. Each year there are several important issues brought before the council for solution. During the past year, a careful survey of the representative system was complied, noon dancing in the Eastman Assembly Hall was discontinued, a bookkeeping system suitable for all organizations' accounts was set up, the budget, the council's most important business of the year, was made out with several necessary cuts. However, the organizations deserve much credit for having continued satisfactorily under the handicap. The guest ticket plan worked very smoothly, and the spirit at the games was much more evident than it has been in previous years. Perhaps this is due to the interest of fraternities and the few pep-meets held before home games. A new handbook is under way and will be ready for publication to the freshmen of '35-'36 with several changes and additions to the present curriculum, including an entirely new set-up of activities for both men and women on a basis similar to that of G. A. A. This year's council was proud to accept Gargoyles, a newly organized dramatic club having an enrollment of over roo students and a year of conscientious work to back it. More power to them.

It was through Mrs. Gertude Meekan and a group of girls with earnest efforts which enabled them to organize this Athletic Association. Each activity was met with the heartiest support and cooperation. It gave the mem- bers an opportunity to become better acquaninted and to show a frendly rivalry. The first event of the Association was a banquet given in honor of Mrs. Meekan The athletics participated in were swimming, hockey, captain ball, basketball riding, and hiking. 3 The Girls Athletic Association was changed to the Girls Activity Association because it not only included Athletics but the Glee Club was sponsored by the organi- zation. The sports which G. A. A. sponsors now are those that it feels a student can continue to enjoy after school days, such as tennis, golf, swimming, and badminton. The council is composed of the usual officers and the head of each sport is respon- sible for that activity throughout the year. The G. A. A. also has social functions which are open to the school. The annual banquet was one of the highlightsof the year. G. A. A. success in the future depends upon the support of its members, which should be the duty of every woman student at Mechanics Institute.

The government of the Dormitory is based upon consideration for all Dorm members. The aim of this group is to promote firm friendship among the girls by the spon- soring of social functions. The most outstanding of these was the Dorm Formal held at the K. of C. and thoroughly enjoyed by all those attending. The Christmas Party was well attended and entertainment was provided by several groups of girls. An unusual new function took place this year-A Pet Show. Many different species were entered. Speaking of pets, the Dorm has added to its family a cat, named Utah, who is quite familiar with the entire group including the parrot. It is customary each year for the Dormitory to contribute food, clothing and other supplies to a needy family. Much interest was shown on the part of everyone doing this dutv. The success of the Dormitory largely depends upon the cooperation of the Council and the members of the family. It is the hope of this year's council that the on-coming officers will enjoy the Success and pride that this year's Council he had. PUBLICATIONS XVILLARD ZINKE Li. FLORENCE ARMSTRONG MARY COOK .

Through these years styles and fancies of dress, living, and art have constantly been changing, while truths and measurements of successes and happiness have not changed. During these years RAMIKIN has held fast to its purpose of setting each school year's history in its true color and at the same time the style of the book has changed from year to year to keep pace with new ideas in art, literature, and book building. This year's staff has dedicated the book to Mr. Warren Gillon, perhaps the students' greatest friend and advisor. The staff is honored in being able to pay this tribute to a man it admires and has always considered its friend. The staff wishes to take this opportunity to thank its new faculty advisor Mr. Horace Koch for his interest, enthusiasm, and advice in the production of this book.

It is to the combined efforts of these groups that the success of this year's Psimar is due. The Staff has varied with each issue since so many of its members were on cooperative jobs and in school only alternate months. It has been necessary for the various people holding the same position on the paper to divide their work accordingly. This is the first year that both Co-Editors have not been in school throughout the two semesters since the Co-Editor arrangement has been put into practice, and it was ne- cessary for them to adjust their work to this schedule. It can be said that the Psimar has truly been a Student Publication of all 'of the Courses and Classes. The Oflices were well divided among the classes. The Seniors held those of Co-Editors, Assistant Editors, Business Manager, Art Editor, and Sport Editors. The Juniors filled positions as Copy Editors. The Freshmen were on the Advertising Staff, Copy Editors and Circulation Staff. The reporters were from all class- es. The Psimar owes a great deal to the under-classmen for the help which they gave. The Freshman Class in par- ticular should be congratulated on the number of its representatives who turned out for the meetings and contri- buted work. The different courses were well rep- resented with the Photo-Techs carry- ing the honors. Edward Kelley, Co- Editor, Rudy Polak and Earl Wallace on the Advertising Staff, Betty Ander- son, G. A. A. Editor, and Harold Kent and David Sime as Sport Sport Editors seem to furnish a predominating factor of Photo-Techs. The Food Course had Harriet Hutchinson as Business Man- ager, Vena Van Hynings as Copy Editor, Jessie Wilson as Circulation Manager, plus reporters Harriet Brow- nell and Kay Wend. Jerry Welch as Copy Editor and Anthony Schiliro as Circulation Manager represent the Mechanicals. The Art School offered Dorothy Hiscock as CO-Editor, Evelyn Teute as Art Editor, Norein Gruber as Typist and Reporters in Harry Hill, George Van Inwagen, Charles Van Vechten and Stanley Witmeyer. The Electricals consisted of Frank Evert and James Lees, Reporters, and the Polak, Hifoock Wallace, Kittridge TH' ROCHESTER ATI-IENAE ROCHESTER, NEW YORK UM AND MECHANICS INSTITUTE Chemicals of Leonard Ridyard as As- sistant Editor. Maurice Foster of the Photo-Techs was Co-Editor until De- cember when he was forced to resign because of a position in Chicago which prevented his continuing on the Staff. His place was taken by Dorothy His- cock who had been Associate Editor. Psimar was especially fortunate in securing Miss Ruth Kittredge as Fac- ulty Advisor. Miss Kittredge or' 'Kit, as she was known informally to the Staff, contributedanot only her time and efforts to making this a successful year but also gave her enthusiasm. It has been the policy of the Psimar this year to include in each issue all news of iterest about the different courses and school activities. Space has been reserved each time for such organ- izations as Sororities, Fraternities, the Camera Club, the Dramatics CQub, the Teute, Ridgard Wilton, .finer STAFF Electrical Students Association, the Mechanical Students Association, the Teams, Glee Club and the Mica Club. Beside these regular articles, features such as the Tattler, the Diary of a Dilledante, and Rope Yarns were in- cluded. The Tattler made up of person- al items contributed by members of all classes was compiled by an individual whose identity was supposed to be unkown to the students. The Diary of a Dilledante by Charles Van Vechten and George Van Inwagen was primari- ly an Art School production of the adventures of some student from that section plus a liberal amount of im- agination. Rope Yarns by Harry Hill, a series of articles based on his experi- ences on board an oil tanker during 1933 and 1934, were included at inter- vals. Other articles pertaining to special subjects of interest such as the policies of Student Council toward Sports for next year were included. During the sport season the paper de- voted most of its space to that subject. Articles about the individual players, the games played, and the wrestling meets with the various scores were featured. Two issues the February 9. and the March 1 ones were sold at the games in the K. of C. Hall. Variety in color has been created at various times by changing the usual policy of black type on white paper. The December issue, which came out just before Christmas, was printed in green type with red and green illustra- tions on white paper. The March ist issue, which was the last sport issue, was printed in black on pink paper. The illustrations this year with one exception have been linoleum block prints cut by Evelyn Teute, Harry Hill, and Helen Franklin. The block prints were continued CO-EDITOR-IN-CHIEF - W. Edward Kelley from last year and they have the effect of making the paper entirely a student publication, since all articles and illus- trations are the work of the students themselves. The last issue with its summary of the year's important events came out on March 18th, with every available inch of space filled. Each organization had taken the opportunity of announc- ing the awards given to its members, and the new officers for the next year. It is impossible to thank each indi- vidual separately, but the Psimar Staff of 1934-1935 at this time would like to express its appreciation to its Facul- ty Advisor, the other members of the Faculty, and the Student Body as a whole for their cooperation and help during the past year. To the new offic- ers for next year's Psimar we wish a most successful year with the pleasant- est of memories. 0'Hara, Chamherlain, Britton, Iggleden, .Yawtelle Slocum, Gufxtafxon, Cunningham, McEvoy RETAIL BULLETIN The Retail Bulletin, a publication which is put out by members of the retailing classes, has made marked progress during the last year.

Ffzczzlgf Advifor The Mechanical Students' Association was organized in the year 197.5 for the pur- pose of developing good fellowship among the students of the Mechanical Depart- ment. The continued success of the association shows that it has achieved this purpose. The Mechanical Association has broadened the students Engineering outlook by providing them with interesting motion pictures, trips through industrial plants, and outstanding speakers. Col. Carry Brown, Superintendent of Maintenance at Kodak Park, spoke at the opening meeting. The M. S. A. in conjunction with their regular monthly meetings held several afternoon discussions, at which specialists on gasolines, ball bearings, and oils were heard. This year past, on November 17, 1934, the Mechanical Students had an oppor- tunity to study Marine Diesel Engines in operation when they were the guests of the government aboard the U. S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle for a cruise on Lake Ontario. On Thursday, November 7, the M. S. A. treated the student body to a real old fashioned Nickelodian Night. Westbound Limited, the feature attraction, thrilled the capacity audience from start to finish. It is hoped that Nickelodian Night will be made an annual function of the M. S. A. The successful season was brought to a most fitting climax by the annual M. S. A.-E. S. A. Banquet. TWW f?J', Diwpfl, Morecock, Svzitla, Newton ELEOTRICAL STUDENTS' ASSOCIATION OFFICERS R' DIMPFL .

Ffzczzlgf Advifor In order to broaden the electrical students' education through subjects not ordin- arily within the scope of the school coruse, the electrical students of Mechanic Insti- tute organized the Electrical Students Association. The purpose of this organization is twofold: first, to promote technical interestsg and second, to offer fellowship and social activities to the students. The first purpose was fulfilled by securing prominent engineers as speakers who brought before the students some of the problems and situations which confront the engineer. When engineers speak to the E. S. A. they are able to see the student in a state of progressive training. For this reason they are better able to help astudent find himself and to better establish his place in industry. By the discussions which follow the meetings, the student acquaints himself with conditions as they actually are, thereby making him a more competent engineer. A combined picnic with the Mechanical Students' Association and the construction supervision students at Ellison Park, a combined banquet with the M. S. A., and get-togethers after each meeting contributed to the fulfilling of the second purpose of the organization. At these activities student fellowship was promoted and many lasting friendships were formed. This past year was marked by very close relation between the M. S. A. and E. S. A. and it is hoped that this feeling of good fellowship will continue to grow and to extend among all professional organizations. - - ' Slocum Weldon Van 5 ld, R b. n, Andermn, 1:,d,,k1,,1, Horn, Smcluze, Von Ingwugen, Ecbter?

Fuculzyf Acloifor One of the oldest of the active student organizations of Mechanics Institute is the Art Students' League. The League was founded .in 19oo to increase the bonds of friendship among its members and to stimulate and further artistic development. During this past year the Art League has been ably guided by one of the most active presidents it has ever had-Miss Harriet Bingham. The freshman initiation was conducted with much fun for the upper- classmen at the expense of the incoming members. In early Cctober the annual fall sketching trip to Powder Mill Park took place and the future artists made many excellent sketches which were later placed on exhibit. The regular monthly meetings presented many outstanding and excellent speakers who addressed the students on art and on the allied professions in relation to art. These meetings were followed by social affairs among which were the revival of the old-fashioned box social and a cabaret party. In addition to the monthly meetings the regular Tuesday evening sketching meetings were continued. Models in varied costumes made these meetings especially interesting. The season of activity was brought to a fitting close by the Art Students' League Spring Dance. Rumont, Sadlon, Robertr, Shingle SURVEY CLUB he Survey Club appreciated the need for an organization to unite more closely the members of the various sections of the Food Administration Course. They knew that greater interest in the school work could be sti discussions and the hearing of food authorities from outside the school. Consequently, in 199.8 they organized the Survey Club. The founders of t mulated with informal The program during the past year was so varied and interesting that the club members found ample justification for attending all meetings. Speakers of prominence were brought from all parts of the city and state, and their topics were so selected as to cover most of the branches of the Food Administration field. Discussions at the meetings, however, were not entirely technical. Books, current events, travels, and so on formed much of the material for exchanges of thought. Parties and winter sports helped to round out the program of the year. The Fall Get-Acquainted Party for new students was in the form of a buffet supper at Miss Benedict's home. Needless to say, it was greatly enjoyed by all pre- sent. The annual Christmas party was another enjoyable function. Entertainment for that evening was in the form of a one-act comedy entitled, At The Movies, and presented by the Dramatics Club. To the faculty of the department is due much of the credit for the success of the Survey Club. Their strong support and cooperation has helped the oflicers to carry on the work of the organization. It is hoped that the club will meet with continued success in the future years.

The program for the year consists of weekly rehearsals with an occasional evening of dancing. As a grand finale a Spring Concert is presented in March when proud parents and friends may listen to a program of semi-popular and classical selections. his year, however, a dance was held in the Bevier Hall to which all members and their friends were invited. The last year witnessed two changes in the administrative organization of the Glee Club. Miss Ruth Cunnungham who had been the faculty advisor for the past two years regretfully resigned. The high standard of the Glee Club has been greatly due to her untiring efforts and the officers and members wish to take this opportunity to thank her for her services. Miss Lingle was requested to fill the vacancy and kindly consented. Her acceptance was greatly appreciated and she was warmly welcomed. Beginning next year the system of duplicate officers will be discontinued and there will be but one individual for each office. The officers of this year decided that a more efficient governing body would thus be possible. At this time the oflicers wish to thank Mr. Casad for his very competent directing and his lively interest in the organization. They also express their appreciation to Mrs. Quinn for her 'fine work as accompanist and to the many students and members of the faculty who have made possible the success of the Glee Club during the past year.

Faculty Advisor The Club of Mechanics Institute was organized in the year 1919 by Mr. Charles Cala, and the lettermen of that year. It provides an organization for a more effective stimulation of Athletics and school spirit. The club, even though small this year, carries on the original purpose to help advance the different Athletic Activities for the men at Mechanics Institute, through heartily cooperating with the coaches and faculty managers of the various sports, and to see that the is Worn only by those who have earned this privilege. The M Club consists of the men who have earned their award of an eight Block M for the required amount of participation in Institute meets. Basketball and wrestling are the two major sports at the Institute. The Clu those men who have excelled in these tvvo areas. At the beginning of the 1933-34 session of school the Club, with the aid of the student council Was given full 7 charge of initiating the Freshmen men students at Mechanics.

T ' ' ' ' pon e hose who did report were inexperienced. Practice was held three afternoons a week. A squad was picked namely, Volpe, Michaeles, Park and Kirkendall. The l t ' ' ' A as named three, although inexperienced, showed an eagerness to learn-this plus Volpe's talented leadership gave I. rooters a capable group of cheer-leaders when the Athletic season opened. Throughout the schedule they carried on with an effervescent spirit, originality and a persistent plea to M. I. students to get behind the team-They savv to it th t a the huge crovvd at the K. of C. observed the M. I.

The members of the teams appreciated the Work of the cheer-leaders this season-We wonder if the Student body f ll ' u y appreciates the vvork of the cheer-leaders. The seating arrangement at the K of C has not been conductive to organized cheer- ing, yet competent leadership gave us that brand of cheering that makes an athlete strive to give his all for the Alma Mater.

Micbaelir, Kirkendall, Park, Volpe ' WRESTLING While the 1934-35 wrestling season cannot be called a success when judged by its final scores alone, those on the inside feel that, considering its handicaps, the team did very well indeed. Practice was started in October with only a medium sized group reporting, but after the usual few dropping out early, it proved to a be hardworking one. lt was soon very evident that due to the limited representation in each weight class, the usual Reserve team would have to be omitted, leaving only the Varsity and Freshmen groups. Because of the graduating of all varsity veterans excepting Captain Morgan, last year, the teams had to be composed of nearly all new material. As the season progressed, several members were forced to retire from competition due to injuries. As the representation in their classes happened to be low, it made necessary the forfeiting of as high as ten points a meet. There were only four regularly scheduled meets this season but matches were also held with Alfred and the Alumni teams. Unlike last year's trips to Cambridge and Cleveland, all this seasons meets were held at home. Instead of stopping practice with the ending of the meets, the gym was kept open three nights a week to give those who will be here again next season and those who have recently become interested in the sport, extra practice. Only three members of the varsity team are being lost through graduation this year, which should give us a good start toward a successful season next year.

INSTITUTE BASKETBALL Basketball at Mechanics received a New Deal this year. With a new coach and a team with only two of last years lettermen back, they completed a most successful season. The Institute team won six out of twelve games. This is an excellent record con- sidering they met some of the strongest small college teams in the state, including Buffalo State Teachers, Oswego Normal, and Ithaca School of Physical Education. With a well balanced team, smooth passing and good teamwork the boys defeated such teams as Hartwick College, Geneseo Normal, Potsdam Normal and Fredonia Normal. . Even in defeat Mechanics looked good. On one occasion when the team was playing out of town and losing by a fairly large score, the referee was heard to give this team credit, they keep fighting, no matter what the score. No finer compliment could be paid any team. With nearly all the lettermen back next year, everyone looks forward to a success- ful season. Much credit for this years success goes to Perk Cohen the new coach. He worked for the team and deserves the appreciation and support of the entire student body. The men who won the coveted are: Capt. Stan Witmeyer, Norm Anderson, Pete Terbuska, Ralph Parker, Tommy Kilgress, Ed Walsh, Rolland Braley, Mike Krajowski and Manager John Arnold. .Q , Player Por.

The team was successful, winning most of the games, in which it displayed an abundance of pep, enthusiasm, sociability and cordiality to the opponents. Good luck to our Freshmen for their remaining years of basketball at M. l.! BOWLING A Every Thursday night from October to February brought many an enthusiastic girl to the Brick Church Bowling Alleys. The excellent training that Miss Tarbox gave the girls proved to be of great value. The high score for the year was 164, made by Martha Randall. There was keen competetition between the Frosh and the the upper-classmen at the tournaments that were held the last Thursday of each block. Here's hoping that next years bowling will go over with a strike Martha Randall ' Benedict, Human, Burnett, Hettfickr, Keenqy GOLF Gctober found twenty enthusuastic girls under the direction of Margaret Shingle and Priscilla Jenkins, anxious to become enlightened upon the great American game, golf. To all, this sport appeared very simple but when tried, it proved most complicated. Through the very able instruction of Mr. Feller, the girls reached a very satisfying knowledge of the game. As in every sport, we find a few old standbys for golf. We had Dorothy Kanter, Margaret Shingle, Priscilla Jenkins, Vena Van Hyning, Fuku Matsuoka, Harriet Brownell, Ruth Keeney, Maude Dietrick, Grace Benedict. HIKING On one Saturday morning of every month the orderly business at a grocery store has been interrupted by the descent of the hikers. Garbed in miscellaneous apparel they stormed down the aisles, carefully examining the brands of tomato sauce and occasionally sitting on a cake from sheer exhaustion. Choosing the lunch to be cooked over a blazing fire was clearly the most tiring part of the hike. ' Cnce out of the city they walked for miles along the lake shore or climbed over hills among the buffalo and reindeer at the zoo. Mzmrofz, Edgett, Cballfer, Robizuan, fonef, Slocufzz foner, Kzzehne ' RIDING The interest in riding has increased considerably during this past year-the boys having taken it up as well as the girls. The Fall and Spring classes were held out of doors at Heberles and the winter classes were held indoors at the Armory under the instruction of Army officers. Many bumps and aches were received during the year but they have been overlooked because of the many good times enjoyed in the classes. BADMIN TON just the thing for those nice vvarmish days in the Spring when you just can't seem to stay inside. Several nearby parks in the city have fine courts. Bring your racket, get a net from G.

It is similiar to tennis but differs enough to be interestingly original. This game is fine for early Spring before the call of the out-of- doors is too strong.

An unusually large number of sparrows had assembled on the gutter pipe to break the peace of the morning. Every- body in the neighborhood except him thought evil thoughts about those birds. To him they meant that nature had again turned on the lights for the Eastern Standard Zone to see and to live another day. He swung out of bed with no regret, walked to the window, and looked out. The day was perfect, he thought. Dark nimbus clouds were passing quickly through the sky. The wind was blowing. It was going to rain. n A few setting-up exercises, that almost broke his back when the carpet slipped, helped to stimulate his circulation and to make him dizzy. Great stuff, he thought, as he staggered to the door. The door did not push open fast enough, and his big toe of his bare foot hastened to assist. This, of course, caused pain but he only smiled- the idea of his toe trying to break through that heavy door. To the bathroom he went. The cracked mirror and the dim light revealed that he had to shave again. But, what of that, it was a pleasure to shave with his trusty razor. He took out his shaving equipment. Carefully he drew the razor out of its sheath. Somebody had apparently used his razor to cut a ham bone, there were at at least two nicks near one end. He squeezed the shaving cream tube and the last eighth of an inch of cream came out,not enough to shave the beard of a small child. He turned on the hot water tap and cold water ran out. He could stand it no longer. He broke out in an uncontrollable burst of laughter. His laughing caused him to quake so much while he shaved that he cut his upper lip. The blood ran down over his lip. He started to laugh again, becuase the little red moustache made him look so much like Oliver Hardy of the Laurel and Hardy comedy team. After shaving and dressing, he walked back to his room to prepare breakfast. Unfortunately, he found that there was only enough coffee left for a half a cup.. He rummaged through the cubboard and found an old bun that the mice had saved for him. Good eating, he thought, something like the Zwebac that mother used to feed him when he was a child. He set the coffee pot on the fire and walked out on the porch to get the morning paper. It seemed that only one sheet of paper was left, the rest had been scattered over the yard by the wind. He whistled a modern melody while he collected the pages and carefully assembled them. By the time he returned to his room, only a quarter of a cup of coffee was left in the small pot, the rest had boiled over. He drank this bit with as much relish as he would a tasty cocktail and then began to read the paper. The most interesting parts of the continued articles were on the pages that were missing, but that only made him exercise his imagination to supply the endings to the articles. He looked up at the clock only to find that it had stopped running during the night. He smiled. He had forgotten wind it. However, he guessed that if was time to See that man, that man who had come to his house late last night 5 the attorney who had told him to see him in the morning 5 who had told him to come to get the one hundred thousand dollars that he had inherited from his rich aunt. So, he left. BERNARD RUMBUTIS N Q FRATERNITIES Armef, Perfom, Olmflead, Wignall, Razz' fenkim, Smmpe, Simpxon, Burkey, Roberff, Glzdrlen INTER-SORGRITY COUNCIL OFFICERS GRACE SIMPSON . . . . .

The Inter-sorority council was organized in 197.0 for the purpose of uniting the sororities of Mechanics Institute. It is composed of two representatives from each of the four sororities, one representative from the faculty, and four faculty advisors. The aim of the organization is to guide the sororities in matters of mutual interest and to establish rules and regulations for the rushing of new members. This year the Council sponsored two informal receptions in order to meet the schedule of co-operative students. This arrangement promoted the spirit of friendship and proved to be a success, giving an additional opportunity to meet every Freshman girl. The Council has revised the constitution to meet the changing needs of the students and the school. This year for the first time an Inter-sorority Formal Dance has evolved, through the co-operative efforts of the Inter-soroirty Council, to be held on May 18th. At this time the Council wishes to extend its appreciation to the members of Me- chanics Institute sororities and faculty advisors, for their cooperation in the year 19344935- Villmzi, Biibop, Swirls Ebert, Welch, Kzmef, Dimpfl Smith, Denfe, Tegtmeyer, Heath, Tfevetf, .Time INTER-FRATERNAL COUNCIL The Inter-Fraternal Council's program again this year has been very well balanced The council's balanced program was obtained by promoting educational and athletic competion among the fraternities. Through the awarding of the yearly scholastic cup the council has stressed the prime importance of education in the fraternity and through the athletic cup has sponsored the developement of the physical aspect of life. The social highlight of the fraternal season was the Inter-Fraternal Council Dance, which was held in the spring of the year at the Normandy. The council is pleased to present the scholastic cup to Pi Kappa Gamma Fraternity for its outstanding scholastic achievements of the past year. The council is equally pleased in presenting the athletic cup to Chi Epsilon Phi Fraternity.

Its aim is to establish firm friendships and to promote high ideals and scholastic standing both in the sorority and in the school. The rush party, a true Scotch affair, proved to be lots of fun, and was followed by the annual pledge dinner at the Rochester Club. Friends are, after all, the greatest asset that we may have.

The six charter members comprising the original roll of brotherhood, pledged themselves to loyally support and disseminate the social and .educational activities of the Institute. In the thirty-four years of its existance the brotherhood of Phi Sigma Phi has been unceasingly active in the fulfillment of that pledge. Highlights of the year's activity include, the rush dinner held at the Buckingham Club, meetings at various members' homes, and a glorious spring party at the Rochester Club where new and old members joined alike in great festivity. The Fraternity is deeply grateful to Brother Walter Criley for his untiring efforts and support in the Fraternity.
