In Europe, the energies of young men and women are regimented for destruction: death is common, tragedy impends for the living. Here in the United States of America, freedom and democracy n is constructing and building are active forces, T for a better existen The Rocheser Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute is training men and women to participate with a trained and vital intelligence in pre- serving and improving the American way of life. Despite grim over- tones of a world conflict these following pages fully attest that formal education, avocations, friendly yet competitive sports, and good fellow- ship are vigorously encouraged and developed by the tolerant wisdom of a fine faculty and board of directors.

Thomason. 6 Calvin C. Thomason 7 VIEWS O N the following pages we will try to show what we as students of the Institute do with our time here. First, we show where we go to school. Our campus is unimportant but what is contained in these buildings is very important because it is from here that we secure our education. Next we show some of the things we do in school. This illustrates in some cases how we put our studies to practice in our laboratories. Since we also work on cooperative jobs in businesses in the fields in which we are sttldvine we show vou some of the tasks we perform on the job. It is here that we apply to real life what we have studied and practiced at the institute. We also have some spare time away from school and the job, so nowr we show you how we sometimes use our spare time. Since we are training in so many different fields we thought you would be interested in knowing the names of some of the companies where we work, so finally, we show you in their own styling the names of many of our cooperative employers. We work here as students and we hope to continue here when we graduate. This is a brief picture of our year in school. 8 Our Sc hool 9 What We Do In School 10 How We Work i When We Play 12 vi - V A o v-ce cp � , + £-v « ? v r 4 ’ „ ♦-'T V--' v-' V - Jss .v% £- . 0 'V’N' -' '■£• % „ ° , Cv-' cr t «’ ., C‘ V t4 - vp ,� -‘� ’“, n • „4r AO $l ;V ' c'v c0 ° e vv' °v c°vv ' 1 !v sv- .,oVe . 00 p _ vc • c r' ; ; -w co ; , ; o’1 ao + t v , ° V i .1' 1 I(tr'J ui” ....@(: 7tu ‘ V S xl Mtl1’ - v - t, c o f � • , ■■ ' «e Cif .-- . i !• .«a .. • A.rIt'1' ev' cP’ V tsA K o-P X' j V 1 ( j . ) iiW '“■' C° V « L- cI °- c j v6c L 9) V a -ot , vVA V‘ .

Applied Art 27 CLASSES ith a slight increase in enrollment over last year's figures, an- other school year brings to the end the schooling careers of many and the beginning of others. Enrollment this year for the day school was approximately 877 students. In addition to this there were 77 special students, bringing this total above the 900 mark, an unprecedented figure in the history of the Institute. About 236 Seniors will be graduated this year. The school year just completed at the Institute has certainly been successful for all concerned, both in the fulfillment of educational requirements and the enjoyment received through the various social and athletic activities. Congratulations should be in order for the members of the Senior Class, who during their school years at the Institute have proved them- selves hard-workers and have engineered several of the school’s most successful projects, and social events. They will long be remembered for the things they have accomplished while here and our only hope is that success will be an assured factor in the future for all of them. The Junior and Freshmen classes, which outnumber the Senior class are also proving themselves to be an ambitious and cooperative group. Already they have been responsible for numerous activities in the social calendar in addition to upholding the traditions of the In- stitute. 28 STUDENT BODY George Kupferschmid, President Y„ and I are reaching another milestone on the highway of life. To all of us, Convocation will mark an especially important step in our formal education. Whatever special meaning it may have for each one of you, it is pleasant to realize that events cast their shadows before them. May your Convocation be an indication of future success, and may your appreciation and respect for the Institute grow as your life here passes from reality into retrospect. 29 CLASS of 194 1 The class of L941 is recording its final acts on the pages of Time with but one regret—that the years spent at the Institute have passed too swiftly. Our first year found us looking and listening to the upperclassmen, but in 1940 we came of age, and sponsored our first big dance, the Junior Prom. The Sagamore Hotel’s Starlight Roof was the scene of the dance. This year, the class held a 'Gay Nineties” party in the Bevier Gal- lery. Flora-dora girls, Barber-shop quartets, and Seniors only” were the order of the evening. At the Sagamore on March 22, we had our formal Dinner Dance. The last social event to be sponsored by the class is the Senior Ball, which is to be held in the Masonic Ballroom. An extra-smooth band and a roomy floor guarantee its success. Convocation will take place on May 17. Then, with our experience at the Institute behind us, we set forth on a new career, the course of which is controlled by ourselves and by Destiny, and hidden within the pages of time. 30 SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE William Dellenback..................Photo Tech.......................President Richard Eisenberg...................Mechanical......................

Y, 53 CLASS of r94 L Sept., 1939—We were then mere Freshmen at Mechanics, all filled with that lost feeling until after our Freshmen Mixers at which we became more acquainted with our fellow students. This first month we elected someone from each group to represent his class on the Student Council and Executive Committee. Nov., 1939—The officers with the aid of some of their classmates and adviser Mr. Biehler planned a roller skating party. This proved to be a great success with majority of the Freshmen Class and their guests attending. Feb., 1940—Due to the successful skating party, we felt that we would like another get-together so we gave a Barn Dance. This was held at the Old Red Bam and refreshments were served. Jan,, 1941—Every Junior was excited about the Junior Prom which was held at the Masonic Ballroom, January 25. Tom Jennings, presi- dent of the Junior Class was the general chairman and Louise Ernes, Rita Greenwood, Bill Scanlon, Ozzie Button, Jack DeLelys and Jorg Ball headed the various committees. We are proud of the fact that we were able to have the Institute’s first big band, namely, A1 Kavelin and his Cascading Chords. The favors were good luck charms engraved with an M. 1. Now as the end of our second year of school draws near we are all looking forward to another successful year. 54 JUNIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OFFICERS Thomas Jenning...................Applied Art..................President George Ball......................Photo Tech...................Treasurer Raymond Biehler...............................................

Clark for his sincere interest in the Institute. It is now called Clark Union. Our Clark Union has afforded us a most pleasant spot and has absorbed many of our spare hours. It has provided a place where the students could find pleasant recreation. Organizations and classes have sponsored parties and occasional dances in the large and well furnished rooms of Clark Union. A bridge club was formed and held its weekly meetings every Thursday night. A series of weekly concert programs inspired by a gift of a recording set and six hundred records presented by the Carnegie Foundation were fully appreciated by all who attended. Clark Union has solved the problem of where the many organiza- tions sponsored by the Student Association might hold their meetings. The Ramikin, Psimar, and Student Council staffs have welcomed hav- ing private offices in which to carry on their work. The Glee Club and Gargoyles were grateful for an assigned room for their meetings and rehearsals. Department clubs have enjoyed larger attendance and more fun at their meetings held at the Union, It has provided the fraternities and sororities with a place for their meetings and social events. Its spacious game room, smoking facilities, lounges, and meeting rooms have made Clark Union the point of inter- est for Institute students. We extend our appre- ciation to Mrs. Caroline Thomason for her many kindnesses shown us as counselor of the Union. 68 Mrs. Caroline Thomason 69 STUDENT COUNCIL The governing power of the student body is vested in the Student Council. The Council is made up of six members from each class. These elected students meet bi-monthly on Tuesday to discuss and decide current student problems. All matters of student interest are considered with a view to furthering sportsmanship, promoting self- government, and encouraging student activity. One of the most important functions of the Council each year is the appropriation of student funds for extra-curricular activity. In compliance with student requests, several activities were added this year. The student Band was re-established as an activity. Fencing was introduced for the first time and Dancing instruction was provided. The Council also appropriated a sum of money toward the Institute Endowment Campaign. The major student project during the year 1939-40, was the further establishment of the Student Center. This year the Student Council voted unanimously to dedicate that building to Mr, George H. Clark for his constructive interest in education. The building is now known as Clark Union. Early in the spring, the Student Council received an invitation to send delegates to the regional Convention of Student Unions which was held at Cornell University. Several members attended the Con- vention. The closing months of the year found Council members engrossed in promoting a campaign on student government. All students were informed about the organization of the student government in order that they might have more thorough knowledge of how it operates and serves them. The awards assembly was held late in the year in accordance with the usual custom and awards were given in recognition of what they contributed to students through some extra-curricular work. To the many faculty members who spend time and energy helping students with these extra-curricular projects, we offer our thanks in the name of the student body. The Student Council is especially grateful to Mr. Burton Stratton and Mr. Alfred Davis for their helpful counsel through the school year. 70 STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS George Kupferschmid...................................................President James Tobin......................................................Vice-President Betty Sears Secretary Burton E.

It is the sincere wish of the members of the staff that this book will preserve the memories of pleasant and well-spent days of our years at the Institute. So it is hoped that this thirtieth volume of the Ramikin may be a source of pride and lasting enjoyment to the administration, to the alumni, and to the under-grad- uates to whom it is presented as another chapter in the splendid history that is hers. 72 RAMIKIN STAFF William Lartz......................................................Editor-m-Cbief Ruth Thomas.............................................Associate Edit or-in-Chief Ross Townsend...................................................Business iManager Frank Nazzaro.................................................Photographic Editor Louis Pavledes.....................................Associate Photographic Editor Dorothy Holt.........................................................Art Editor Horace W.

During the present school year the Psimar editorial staff made and adopted an editorial style manual which it hopes will serve as a guide for future editors and reporters of the school publication. The Psimar continued to improve typographically and it may be said that it went modern and became streamlined”. The school paper is edited and printed in the school, the department of Publishing and Printing continuing to produce the printed publication. The year's staff wishes to thank everyone connected with the school paper for their efforts and cooperation throughout the year and wish the future staffs the greatest possible success. 14 PSIMAR STAFF Stanley Keller John Whiteman William Lartz Avery Piersons Frank Di Witt Editor Business Managers C i rada lion M anager Faculty Adviser REPORTERS Larry Adams Russell Rrostedt Robert Aldinger Boyd Crabtree Shirley Doersom Dot t ie Holt Virgil Zetterlind Don D, Nibbelink Lyle Briggs John North Sarah Penn Robert Ripple Betty Sears Harry Smith Loren Spero James St eg Rennell, Chase, Piersons, Ripple Brostedt, Aldinger, Sears, Holt, Keller, Zetterlind, Penn, Doersom, Spero 75 Miss Meyer Miss Lee WOMEN’S RESIDENCE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL OFFICERS Dorothy Holt , Miriam Drewery Barbara Coe Barbara Maulbetsch Janet Alexander Marilyn Smith Jean Randall Margaret Austin Rosemary Doerr Rita Greenwood Nicoletta Sozzi Lois Atchison Barbara Coe Barbara Maulbetsch 76 ' HALL President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Senior Representatives Junior Representatives Freshman Representatives T„ I Executive Council is composed of representatives of Freshmen, Junior and Senior classes. This group acts as the governing body of the house, and its goal is to promote harmony and good fellowship among the girls, and to provide social activities for them. Each year, the Council revises the rules and regulations. Many innovations in government have been made from suggestions of Dr. Charters of the advisory board. As usual, the highlight of the year was the annual Dorm Formal, held in the Hotel Seneca on November 18. Besides the regular faculty teas, birthday dinners and buffet suppers, the Dorm sponsored a Harv- est Carnival in October and a Valentine Tea Dance in February. The friendly spirit and cheerful atmosphere of the Dormitory is due largely to the cooperation of the director of the Residence Hall, Miss Florance Meyer, and her new assistant, Miss Grace Lee. Without their help, the Council could not have accomplished what it did this year. Holtt Afaulhetseh. Alexander, Greenwood Dr ewer y, Austin, Do err, Coe, Smith.

Pacuity Adviser In 1940-41, the Mechanical Students’ Association enjoyed one of its finest years since its inception in 1925 as an organization for develop- ing good fellowship and widening the education of the Mechanical students through presentation of technical subjects pertaining to their field. Enrollment this year was unusually large due to the activity of the membership committee and a large freshmen representation. According to custom, officers were elected for both blocks in order to better carry out the affairs of their particular block. Among the activities enjoyed this year were the annual picnic at South Park, an illustrated lecture on Aviation Engines by Mr. Cyril Donaldson, the Boilermakers’ Brawl, talks on the History of Firearms by Mr. Raymond Biehler, District Steam Heating by Mr. Landis S. Smith of the Rochester Gas Electric Corp., and Automatic Screw Machines by Mrs. L. D. Spense of the Brown and Sharpe Co. The Annual Banquet was held at the Roosevelt Apartments with Mr. Landis S. Smith as the speaker. 78 MICA OFFICERS Scott Mathews Glenn Wiught , Robert Wolf . Nick Cristakos Malcolm Stull Ralph H, Braden President Vice-President Secretary Sgt. at Arms Treasurer Faculty Adviser Organized in 1932, the Mica Club has grown to a membership which includes all day school students enrolled in the Chemical depart- ment. The Club is under the able guidance of Mr. Ralph H. Braden, Meetings have been held every two weeks with speakers present at frequent intervals to discuss products and processes of Rochester in- dustries engaged in the chemical field. Besides the business meetings the Mica Club has had two impor- tant social affairs of the ’4(V4l semester consisting of a party in Octo- ber at Clark Union, and a banquet in March at the Manhattan Restau- rant. With the year coming to a close, the officers are affiliating the Mica Club with the American Chemical Society to insure greater successes in the future for the Mechanics Institute Chemical Association. This last feat is hailed as a step not only for the benefits of its members, but also connects the Institute with the largest organization of its kind in the United States making a possible outlet for future students. 79 PUBLISHERS AND PRINTERS Although the Pi” Club is the youngest and smallest organization in the Institute, it is among the most active. The club was organized in 1937 by the students of the Publishing and Printing Department and is affiliated with the National Student Graphic Arts Society. Several social events were sponsored this year, including the annual Christmas party, outings, and a senior banquet. A softball team was formed which carried on active competition with members of other departments of the school. The Club publishes and prints a monthly booklet edited by Louis Ruiz, known as the 'Typographer”. It has a circulation of 600, and is distributed to printers, schools, and press organizations throughout the United States. OFFICERS Ross Townsend .... Hubert Sheffer ....

The Camera Club is increasingly proving a tremendously valuable supplement to the school’s course of study in photography, in presenting an organized channel for individual expression, practical experience in making and exhib- iting pictures, and a chance for additional learning experience in variegated phases of photography. This year has seen the addition of a weekly bulletin of news and articles contrib- uted by members. The plan, of bringing well-known photographers from various parts of the United States to speak and demonstrate before the group, has been continued and developed. The monthly competitive exhibits hung in the school cafeteria have attracted more interest and support than ever before. Winning students are presented medals and have their names engraved on a trophy which remains in the school from year to year. Finally, the year’s activities arc brought to a close in the spring with the Annual Banquet� at which the passing Seniors are feted. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE William Dellenback Frank Nazarro Don D.

The purpose of the organiza- tion is to further good fellowship among the retailers outside of school, and to further knowledge of retailing as a career by bringing speakers here at different times. This year the Association has heard Marguerite Loos, distributive education super- visor of Ohio; Sally Franklin, a former student who is the cooking school commentator from Edwards; and Harold Woodworth, another former student and buyer of men’s furnishings at Edwards. In the fall, the Association sponsored a get-together for the purpose of introducing the freshmen to the upperclassmen. An annual affair of the Retailers’ Association is the big picnic, held in May. 82 Early in September, twenty-three freshmen were pushed, pulled or carried through the halls of Bcvier building on a bewildering cruise known as the annual Art League initiation. To the accompaniment of stern commands from upperclassmen, the group delivered a solemn oath of allegiance to Algy, patron saint of the Art League, and then dashed off to Cutali’s for a spaghetti dinner, In October, the League sponsored a Spook Show in the Student Center, and in January, a sleighride, followed by dancing and refreshments, in Naas’ barn, at Scotts- ville. In March, to weird chants and the mournful tones of a flute, the new skeleton, Ah-men, was christened. The League closed a very successful year with another of its famous cabin parties at Powder Mill Park. The Art League is an organization which provides not only social functions, but also a Sketch night every Tuesday, for which various members pose in costume and offers a chance for self-expression to the students. 83 GLEE CLUB OFFICERS Paul Pavlock............................................President Marcelline Dempsey.................................Vice-President Margaret Austin.........................................Secretary Donald Warren...........................................Treasurer Eugene Natale...........................................Librarian Mr. Chfsteen B.

The first highlight on the season's program was a welcome party. The Glee Club doors were swung open to the student body for the purpose of acquainting them with the Glee Club activities. All who wished to share in its functions were invited to be- come active members. Warren, Din ward, Wiljreth, Johnson, Greenfield, Davis Cady, Thomas, Paige, Wagner, Kuebler, Phillips Woodman, Sturgis, Phillips, Stevenson, Humphrey 84 After two months of faithful rehearsals, the group sponsored its first public per- formance, the Glee Club Assembly, It was held in the First Presbyterian Church, and the student body was entertained by a program of Christmas songs and melodies. Following the Christmas Assembly, the members held their annual Christmas Party in Clark Union. Gifts were exchanged by everyone present. Refreshments and group singing were enjoyed in the season s yuletide spirit. The M. L singers next sponsored a hay ride party at Scott’s on Chili Road. After an enjoyable two hour ride, they returned to Scott’s home where dancing was held and refreshments served. The next event was a feature program of a combined nature. For the first time in the history of the school, the Glee Club and the M. L Band presented to the public a joint concert in Eastman Hall, The Glee Club participated in the first half of the pro- gram, and featured singing consisting of folk songs, spirituals and popular songs by the chorus. Bringing to a close the Glee Club activities for the school year, a banquet was held at the Normandie Apartments where the members celebrated a successful year. We, the Glee Club of 1940-41, wish to sec this success carried on through the years to come and at the same time hope that the musical performances of the Institute will be an outstanding, anticipated event.

Director Daring the past year the Gargoyles, the dramatic club, have had many interesting and profitable programs at their meetings. As all theatre work is based upon speech, we first studied the voice and its control. Realizing the full need of make-up behind the footlights we spent several meetings learning the correct technique in applying the grease stick and lining pencil—creating many interesting characters. Other programs consisted of general discussions of the psychology of audiences and the study of pantomime. Radio night was given an interesting turn when some of the members came to the meeting with original scripts. During the year several plays were cast and practiced. Our annual party was held at Clark Union and everybody enjoyed the hilarious games, dancing, cider and doughnuts. We have an organized point system by which members are awarded the Gargoyles pin for outstanding activity. The Gargoyles extend to all students a cordial invitation to attend the meetings that will be held next year.

As in former years the Intersorority Ball was held at the Rochester Club on April 19- The Intersorority Scholarship Trophy was presented to the group maintaining the highest average for the past year. This year a Journal explaining the sororities and their histories was drawn up to acquaint the freshmen with the activities and values of the various sororities before they pledge.

It represents a great development of friendship and cooper- ation. The purpose of this organization is to build character, to establish a high scholastic standard in the student body of the Institute, and to bring into closer contact the girls of all departments, thus establishing a more friendly feeling. This year the Sorority attempted a new form of rushing; namely, colonization, a method whereby girls with high qualities of leadership were pledged. Sigma Kappa Delta held its Rush Party at the home of Martha Lapham in Rush, N. Y. The freshmen were drafted, and lived army life for a night. 91 CHI DELTA PHI FRATERNITY William Dellenback President Beekman Platner Vice-President Louis Pavledes Secretary Paul Robinson Treasurer FACULTY ADVISERS Brainerd Plehn Horace Koch Raymond Biehler Since its organization at the Institute twenty-six years ago, Chi Delta Phi has been noted for its fine scholastic spirit and ability, its cooperation and participation in school activities, and its opportunities for increased friendship among students of the same and different departments. The fraternity's membership has comfortably increased this year to a new high of thirty. As a result, increased and improved activities have consisted of two rush dinners, several bowling parties, the Interfraternity Fall Frolic, a successful dance party at Clark Union, many dinner meetings, and the concluding and high lighting event of the year ■—the annual Spring Formal Dinner Dance on May 3 at Oak Hill Country Club. 92 PHI SIGMA PHI FRATERNITY Roscoe Bills Robert Greenfield Homer Wilson .

In 1937, Pi Kappa Gamma, Chi Epsilon Phi, and Phi Sigma Phi merged and formed the present Phi Sigma Phi fraternity. Among the social events of this season were: The Interfraternity Ball, the pledge dinner at the Home Dining Room, numerous smokers, and several parties at Clark Union. On March 29, the highlight of the season, the Annual Dinner Dance was held at Oak Hill Country Club. 93 ATH LETICS Sports at the Institute for the past year have placed their records high on the ladder of athletic success. In many cases the records show a gain over those in the past years. Our basketball team turned in one of the best records in many years under the watchful eye of Coach Leo Fox. A good deal of difficulty was encountered when the time came to select the varsity because all of the men were rated very high as prospective tossers. Although many of last year's first string men were graduated, several freshmen were quick to seize the chance to obtain a berth on the squad. Our wrestling team under the careful guidance of Coach Pike not only won most of their matches but certain members of the team journeyed to Cleveland to represent the Institute in the Eighth Annual Interstate Invitational Cham- pionships. Three of last year’s most valuable men were graduated leaving the team greatly handicapped but freshmen were soon able to compete for the Institute. A great deal of interest was taken in tennis by both men and women. Coach Toporcer instructed and picked a team which he hopes will win all matches to come. Following the constant increase in tennis, it is hoped that in the near future it may soon become one of the major sports at the Institute. Swimming at the Rochester Natatorium and basketball at the Brick Church were two of the activities at the Institute enjoyed by women students. Golf instruction for both men and women was provided during the winter months and was greeted with much anxiety and determination to develop swing, strokes, and ability to follow through. The annually increasing turnout of students interested in learning to play a good game of golf gives evidence that it may become one of our more important sports. Riding is considered one of the most exciting sports at the Institute and is enjoyed by an increasing number of students each year. During the spring and fall, riding is enjoyed out-of-doors. What could be more exciting than to canter over the hills and through the woods early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Steak roasts and Cabin parties were held with many students enjoying themselves to the full extent. When winter set in, riding was carried indoors to the Marsh Road Riding Stables where they worked diligently to attain skill in horsemanship which they proudly demonstrated at the Annual Gymkhana in May. Bowling began early in the fall, with one evening and two afternoons reserved at the Brick Church for Institute bowlers. Although no perfect games were bowled, each student agreed that he enjoyed bowling in friendly com- petition. At the close of this year’s athletics and sporting activities we students be- lieve that we have made great strides in sportsmanship. 94 95 BASKETBALL The 1940-41 basketball team has turned in the best season since 1930, having won more games than we lost, Leo Fox, in his first season at the Institute, did a fine job; and, to show the fine spirit of the squad, the team presented Coach Fox with an Athletic Blanket at the award assembly. Because most of last year’s squad were unable to turn out for the team because of the pressure of their work. Coach Fox began the season with only four men who had had previous experience with M. I. teams; Frank Beaty, Roy Kelso, Charlie Walker, and Don Sweet. Frank Fireman-save-my-child” Beaty was appointed as permanent co-captain, the other co-captaincy being rotated weekly. Beaty was outstanding through- out the year, not only for being the high-ranking scorer with 224 points, but also for his defensive work and for his exceptional ball-hawking” under both baskets. It wfas a common sight to see Frank smash through the defense on a nice cut, fight his way to underneath the basket, and there recover the ball to pass out to a teammate or to score himself. Kelso w'as used as a pivot man in the team’s offensive system and was the ball- handler” in most of the team's scoring plays. Ray had the best average from the foul line of any member on the team, the large number of shots which he collected from there being a tribute to his aggressiveness on rebounds. Charlie The Wolf” Walker, although not as flashy a scorer as during his freshman year, played an exceptional pass- ing game, and at the same time augmented his fine floor game with enough baskets to become second high scorer for the season with 115 points. If Charlie escapes the draft, he and Roy arc expected to be the nucleus for next season's team Two freshmen, 'Long Jim” Andrews and Fred T-Beat-off-the-Ladies” Martin rounded out the first five. Jim was outstanding for his ball handling and for his rebound w ork under either basket, and has w'ell managed to score a good number of points for himself, being high scorer for the Institute in several games with a total of 114 points. Fred wras usually given the very tough assignment of guarding the opponents' high scorer—a job which he accomplished in fine style, and at the same time managed to work very well into the team play as wfell as score himself, Don Sweet cavorted around the court in an in- imitable manner w'hen called upon as a substitute on many occasions. Two more fresh- men, Smiling Ed Connell and Russ The Razor” Drews, became increasingly better as the season progressed with the result that for several of the last games they w ere supplanting the members of the starting five, and contributing most ably to the play of the team. Ed and Russ should be a useful addition to next year’s aggregation. This year, a reserve team was organized for the purpose of giving the members of the squad an opportunity to obtain some sorely needed experience. Several men from the reserve team should be able to make the varsity players hustle for their positions next year.

Martin WRESTLING Facing stronger opposition than at any time in recent years, the wrestling team of Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute chalked up a good record during the 1940-41 season by winning three meets, dropping three and tying one. The wrestlers showed up well in all of the meets, and in most cases losses in indi- vidual bouts were close ones. New' on the schedule wrere Kent State University and St. Lawrence University. Both schools had been dropped previously because they were con- sidered too strong for the R. A. M. 1. men. Coach Ed Pike is optimistic about prospects for the coming season. Although four men will be lost through graduation, the squad as a whole will be more experienced. The reserve men are shaping up wrell and should replace the seniors without any serious difficulty. Men who wrestled for the Blue and Grey for the last time this year are Captain Harry Lugert, wffio wra$ defeated only once during regular meets, George Field, 121- pounder, Ben Saggese, heavyweight, and Raymond Hobson, reserve. The Institute matmen competed at the eighth annual Interstate Invitational Cham- pionships at Cleveland, Although the team failed to take a first place, Lugert took a second place in the 155-pound class, Saggese wras third in the heavyweight class, and Bob Renner placed fourth in the 175 pound spot.

An appropriation was made by the Student Council to cover rental of instruments, the purchase of music, and the hiring of a conductor. A present membership of thirty assembles every Wednesday night in the gym to play marches, light concert music and school songs. Early in the season the organization of the band was made official by the election of officers. A committee consisting of these officers and the conductor award letters to the band members for good attendance and improved instrumental performance. During the indoor sports season, the band gave the school entertainment at all home played athletic competitions. In the spring the band with the Glee Club sponsored a concert. It gave a very good performance and played a lively session of overtures, novelties, marches and selections. The band is very grateful to Mr. William Popowych for the organization has devel- oped rapidly under his able supervision. 100 TENNIS Mr. William Toporcer Coach Mr. Warren Davis...........................Vacuity Adviser Boys Mrs. Marie Kinnear.........................faculty Adviser Girls Joseph Ryan............................................Attendant While the winter was in full swing the tennis fans of the Institute realized that the basic ideas and techniques should be dear in hand and mind before attempting to go on the court. T herefore, tennis practice started early in March in the school gym under the thorough instruction of William Toporcer, the well-known expert of the court. With the opening of the courts on Fitzhugh Street in the spring, the squads continued their practice out of doors. Teams for both the boys and girls were picked and several matches were held with outside teams. It is hoped that the enthusiasm and interest shown in tennis will con tinue, and next year's students are cordially invited to join the present group of tennis fans. 101 BOWLING This has been a bigger and better year for the pin and ball fans. Enthusiasm for bowling grew this year among both the boys, under the guidance of Mr. Duncan Seavey, and the girls, coached by Miss Eleanor Rehberg. Many new students at the game turned out in droves in the opening blocks of school, and have developed their skill to match and sometimes surpass the veterans ’. The Brick Church Institute alleys have been reserved one night and two afternoons a week for the Institute bowlers. High scores for the boys have hovered around 225 and the girls’ scores have occasionally reached L50. Competition is always keen in the various groups, but they vie for skill and mastery of form as well as for high scores. Wc hope to sec more students in there knocking the pins over next year. 102 RIDING EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Barbara Maulbetsch Martha Lorscheider Jack DeLelvs Bob Ripple Nick Christy Lloyd Swanson Clayton Scharping Miss Dorothea Fritz, Facnlty Adviser The Riding Club started out with a bang early in the fall with one of its monthly social functions. Late in September after riding we held a picnic on Cobb’s Hill. We had lots of tun singing songs around the camp fire. October found us on a Hayride in Scottsville and our only complaint was of cramped legs. In November we were all dressed like farmers for the Barn Dance at Elser's Barn, Barbara Maulbetsch being the farmer hostess. During the cold month of December we tried to keep warm with a Cabin Party at Powder Mill. A Sweater Hop at Clark Union was the March event. Clayton Sharping was chairman of our Annual Banquet held at the Old Farm. Our final function of the year was a Horse Show held at the Marsh Road Riding Stables. After the show a party was held for members and their dates. We give all the credit of managing the Horse Show' to Virgil Zetterlind. The Horse Show was the climax of the year's events. In the fall we started riding at the Culver Road Armory but due to defense meas- ures we were compelled to find a ncwr place. Now you'll find us riding at the Marsh Road Riding Stables. Some of our rides were at East Bloomfield. After many months of riding we have started to jump and find it great sport. Some of the most pleasant experiences were the long rides on the bridle trails around Pittsford, 103 FEATURES Reflections of the many good times we have had while here at the Institute make us wish that they could be repeated again. We have all worked hard in the classrooms and laboratories endeavoring to prepare ourselves for careers. But at the same time we have enjoyed many social functions which will always be remembered. They have been just as much a part of our education as any other factor. We have attended dances, athletic matches and other outside events. Many of us have participated in inter-department sports, such as soft- ball and touch football. Friendships have been formed which will never be broken. Clark Union has afforded us a place to meet, relax, and enjoy our school life even more. All these factors have combined themselves to make this year never to be forgotten. The Ramikin herewith presents pictorially some of the happenings which have made this year one of the happiest. 104 105 106 107 108 109 CALENDAR 1940 1941 Sept. 13 Student Reception Feb, 3 Alpha Psi Rush Party Sept. 27 Camera Club Party Feb, 15 Glee Club Sleigh Ride Sept. 29 Dorm Faculty Tea Feb. 22 Phi Sigma Phi Pledge Oct. 4 Delta Omicron Dance Dinners Oct. 11 Student Mixer Feb. 28 Gay Nineties Party Oct. 12 M.
