The Institute is today furthering the plans of prac- tical, far-seeing Rochestcrians, who were sensitive to the needs and future demands of industry on Rochester youth. The Eastman Building was opened in 1901 with a floor space, counting the basement and two floors, of two and one-third acres. It now includes laboratories and classrooms for eight departments, as well as a cafeteria which serves both students and Dormitory girls, and a library which contains 10,000 volumes and subscribes to 200 periodicals. The Bevier Memorial Building, the home of the School of Applied Art, was erected in 1910 through the generosity of Mrs. Henry Bevier as a memorial to her daughter. It is a three-story build- ing of tapestry brick and terra cotta, beautiful in the simplicity' of its design. On the main floor are the offices, the art library which contains more than one thousand volumes on art available for refer- ence and study, the living room which is spacious and inviting with a large open fireplace at one end, and the exhibition gallery which has an ingenious arrangement of movable screens used for the hang- ing of exhibitions. The Industrial Arts Building is occupied by ad- ditional shops, laboratories, and equipment The Machine Shop, with its modern equipment, is one of the best school machine shops in the United States, The industrial chemical laboratory in- cludes equipment for carrying on chemical manu- facturing processes. The photographic technology laboratories and studios are located in this build- ing. Additional studio and laboratory facilities are available for advanced students in the Photo- graphic Building. Home to out-of-town women students during the school year is the Women's Residence Hall or Dormitory. The present Dormitory, originally an apartment house, was built by George Forsyth in memory of Michael Jenkinson in 1889. Pur- chased by the Institute in 1917, it was used to quar- ter soldiers during the World War I. In 1919 it became the Dormitory. The Dorm girls arc look- ing forward to moving into a new residence next year—the Frontenac Apartments, The new build- ing will accommodate an increased number of students who will live in groups of twos and threes in modern apartments. Made possible through the generosity of George H. Clark, Clark Union is a center for student rec- reation and provides a place for organizations to meet. It is student self-government in action being financially supported and governed by the Student Council. Clark Union has this year completed its third year as a student center. The building has a historical background having been built over a century ago by Nathaniel Rochester. Traditionally, although unofficially, Rudner’s Drugstore has become a virtual campus for Insti- tute students. Sooner or later every student visits Rudner’s at least once. Students jam into Rudner’s at all times of the day, and it is possible to find RAMI students drinking cokes and playing the juke box at any time. More cokes are devoured in the course of a school year than one can reasonably imagine, and Hot Fudge Sundaes are a supreme favorite. 9 10 up the steps INterMission 11 12 WHEREWE°LOAF °N VT H al 13 Progress in education is continually on a surg mg, uphill march in Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute. Now , when America urgently needs men who are trained in the technical skills more than ever before in her entire history, the Institute is a key center for defense training. Foresight, gained through common sense, judgment and planning for the future, has enabled the Institute to he ready to help America in her crisis. Through its carefully planned and developed system of coop- erative and occupational education, young men and women students—trained to lead a useful life in the community—are ready to shoulder an im- portant part of America's struggle for justice and freedom. With an outstanding staff of faculty members who are leaders in educational circles, and an ad- ministrative program for occupational training with emphasis on the individual, which is studied by leading educators, Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute is nationally known. In the course of a year, hundreds of visitors come from all over the country to see and learn about this unique institution at work. A vital part is played by our faculty members in many different fields of industry’ and business, as well as in education. By serving as consultants and working in close cooperation with industrial con- cerns, RAMI faculty give advice concerning the selection of work techniques for employees. Several members of the faculty' act as consultants for other colleges and institutions. During the past year consulting services have been provided for Babson Institute. Stevens College, and the public schools of Detroit and Los Angeles. Benefit of the experience gained in the coopera- tive and occupational system of education taught at the Institute has been brought to the general public in the interests of furthering educational advancements during this year. Several RAMI faculty have united in writing and preparing ma- terial and gathering information for numerous textbooks already printed or under way. Although mostly confined to technical and mechanical sub- jects, the scope of these books will ultimately cover the entire field of occupational education and will be known as the Rochester Athenaeum and Me- chanics Institute Series. These books will form the basis for a larger series of educational text- books published by Harper and Brothers. An active interest and participation in commu- nity life characterizes our administration, and many members have undertaken important duties. Dr. Mark Ellingson is a member of the Defense Council for Rochester and Monroe County, and is Chairman of the Committee for Evacuation and Transportation. Alfred A. Johns is County Com- mander of the American Legion, and is very active in Selective Service work. Miss Ldwina Hogadone is president of the Zonta Club. The fine administration of Rochester Athe- naeum and Mechanics Institute gained new honors this year when special mention of the Institute w as made in a report by the president of the Carnegie Corporation. The Institute has completed a special study under a grant from the Carnegie Corpora- tion of New York, and is now conducting a study of cooperative education under special grant from the Rockefeller General Education Board. THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE In these days when democracy is fighting for its life, the Institute and the members of its counseling staff stand ever ready to help students and graduates make their best contribution in this important struggle. In the days of peace that will surely come we hope we may continue to be of assistance to you in working out satisfactory solutions to the problems of personal growth and advancement. You are confronted with the necessity of setting up plans for continuing your education, for if our way of life is to survive, you must do your share not only in winning the war, but in winning and maintaining the peace that is to come. May we express here our confidence that you are well along the road to constructive citizenship, and that the weight of your influence will count in the councils of the future. 'tyaJk 6 Dk. Mark Ellingson 17 SOCIAL SCIENCE Mr. Calvin C Thomason jack of all the trades are we A'studying Social Science, Cause there1 s a certain knowledge gained For work done by appliance. That’s right! No matter what department we belong to, every one of us gets a touch of it—this cultural and libera! background which we al! can use and which is found only in the social science courses. For the most part of each school day we are strictly professional as far as our classes go. but there is always that hour or two dedicated to dealings with other persons in our professions rather than the technicalities of the job itself. It is simply a matter of selling ourselves, and do we know how important that is when we sit shuddering under the critical gaze of an em- ployment director. As Freshmen we take psychology which covers the technique of taking candy from a baby without making him cry; also study tech- niques, whereby studying should become a pleasure; then, too, we take a smattering of English—split infinitives arc reunited. Tackling economics and current events tills up our junior year, and we find ourselves ac- quainted with the various complexities of the goings on in our war-torn world. Finally as seniors we discuss the theories of life and living through the medium of current social problems and philosophy, and learn to appreciate the arts a little more. And so you see this touch —this escape from professionalism—is just the thing we need. 18 Mr. Calvin C. Thomason, B. A., counselor, attended the Universities of California, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Columbia. At one time he held the position of travel editor for the U. S. Navy, Washington, D. C., and later was connected with the Idaho Technical Institute. Melvin Baumhoffer, M. A., received his degree from the University of Michigan and was connected with the Carborundum Co of Niagara Falls for two years. Warren Davis, Ed. D., studied at the State Normal College, Idaho, Columbia University, University of Rochester, and the University of Buffalo. Hazel Howland, M. A., was granted her degree at the University of Rochester. Margaret Jameson, B. A., graduated from Vassar. Before becoming an instructor here, she was connected with the Chautauqua Summer School faculty. Marie Kinnear graduated from the Boston School of Physical Education. She has been director of girls’ dubs and of health education for crippled chil- dren, and has worked on the Rochester Board of Education as director of their health program, Milton McCullough, M. A., attended Kent State University and Ohio State University. Burton Stratton, B. S., is an alumni of the Institute, and attended Ohio State University, Syracuse University, and the University of Minnesota. He has been associated with the Hudson Power Corporation, the New York Telephone Corporation and Eastman Kodak Company. ip APPLIED ART Mr. Clifford M. Ulp Art for art's sake, Thus, the masters have spoken. Now it's left up to us To feme tradition unbroken. But what a job! Most of us walk in as fresh- men with little or no idea of how to recognize, let alone manipulate, the tools which are to make it possible for us to be creative. Our study begins with all the fundamentals of the pro- fession. One of the characteristic things about us that first year is the sketch books we tote around most of the time. These are chucked full of our personal impressions of the place and the people in it. In our next two years we struggle with the phase of art we have decided to specialize in. During this time comes the first life drawings (this is the day), the first attempts with oils and water colors, and day moldings. We had a taste of clay work in our first year, but our third year taste is the one that counts. From here on in we each work at our par- ticular likes. Illustration, design, and composi- tion are the basic studies for our illustrators; doing the little things that make the big things different and desirable, such as creating unique borders and letters is the aim of the designers; and balancing furnishings and studying archi- tectural composition is the speciality of the in terior decorators. Ours is a profession of self-expression and a favorable one we trust twill be. 20 Mr. CLIFFORD M. ULP, counselor� graduated from the institute and later studied at the Art Students League in New York City. He has done advertising and illustration in New York and Rochester, Ralph Avery graduated From the Institute and studied painting under Charles Woodbury and Leith Ross, He was commercial artist for the Hickok Manufacturing Company and later director of the Rundel Art Gallery, Roch- ester Public Library'.

He has also been connected with Eastman Kodak Company and The Theatre. Alling Clements, a graduate of the Institute, studied in the Art League and in Europe. He then did free-lance art in New York and worked at the Summer School of Landscape Painting. Vine Valley, N. Y. Charles Horn attended Pratt Institute and the New York School of Fine and Applied Art. He studied painting under Charles Woodbury and Herbert Barnett. After a period of research in France and England, he was connected with the L idtaw Co. Inc. in New York, Arthur Sinclair was a graduate of the Institute and the Winona School of Professional Photography. He was a member of the art staff at the Cortland Line Company and at the Rundel Library', Rochester Fred Wells has been the instructor of lettering for the past two years and is proprietor of the DcMallie Sign Shop of this city. Minnie Wyman studied at the Boston Normal School, the Corcoran Art School, and the New York School of Fine and Applied Art. She was a pupil of Robert Henri and Hugh Breckenridge. 21 PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY Mr. C B Nt BLiim- See your seif as others see you Is not what we pro jess, We d rather make you beautiful With photo-tech finesse. But what a struggle! Oh, don’t go away— we didn't mean to insinuate that mother nature didn't pul! all the strings she could for you. You see the camera makes the most of diose lit- tle things of which the human eye just isn't conscious so our lament is to the camera—not to you. Pinhole cameras are the highlight of our freshmen year. Although these uncanny card- board contraptions are the joke of the class at first, we find out ironically enough as we ad- vance to using better cameras, that some of our best shots were taken with a pinhole. Most of our junior year is spent beating a path in and out of little white blocks wondering where our next shot is coming from, good com- position and perspective being our aim in life. We’re seniors and the practice house is ours. Its studios and laboratories are fully equipped for all types of photography. Ma- trices don’t register, camera club dues must be paid, and four pictures seem too much for the salon. In general life is plenty nerve-wracking. Patience is a thing to be rationed, And we be- gin to hope that the old boys were right when they quote, Perseverance generates success”. 22 Mr. C, B. Neblette, counselor, graduated from Illinois College. He is the author of ''Photography, Principles and Practice , and is a charter member of the Photographic Society of America, as well as a Fellow of the Royal Photo- graphic Society of Great Britain, Frederick W. Brehm taught at die University of Rochester and Cornell University before coining to the Institute. He has also been the superintendent of Production and Design and Director of Industrial Relations at Eastman Kodak Co. Howard C Colton was granted a B. S. degree at Harvard in 1933. After working in color photography studios in New York City' for a few years, he joined the faculty of the Institute in 1939. He has done consultation work in New' York City during the past two summers. Wallace E, Dobbs, B. S., is a graduate of Ohio State University, He was owner and manager of a portrait and commercial studio, and director of the division of photography of the Buick Motor Co. He is now Managing Secretary and Treasurer of the Photographer's Association of America. Charles A. Savage attended the Institute and the Winona School of Pho- tography. He was owner and operator of the Savage Photo Studio before joining the faculty at the Institute. Silas M. Thronson received his M. A. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was in charge of the photographic operation and laboratory at the University of Florida, and did research at the University of Wisconsin. Martha B. Wiehn served an apprentice with Hal Sefton and was con- nected with Bausch and Lomb, and Taylor Instrument Co. before coming to the Institute. She is now proprietor of HeinridvTarnara Studio in this city. 23 RETAILING Miss Edwina B. Hogadone Ours is not to reason why. Why icc hate to do or die; We re victims of the expression trite, The customer is always right ’. And she is! Every other month we venture from the protecting walls of our classrooms to face her, armed only with textbook theories in- terspersed with good intentions. Out in the held and on our own we End out how these the- ories can best be applied. Of course we don’t start out as president of the store but our alumni prove that you can reach the top for they hold key positions in important stores throughout the country. We apply the practice makes perfect theory and do everything from stock work and selling to assisting buyers and executives. Back in school we settle down to studying costume art, interior decoration and retail dis- tribution. Through the medium of color, design and manipulation of fabrics, we learn the art of creating for every woman a fashion figure. And we are ideal guinea pigs since none of us is a perfect 56, In interior decoration we go on to create more illusions, this time in connection with rooms. Here is where we reclaim the stilted family parlor from cobwebs and dress it up to meet the modern pace. At the completion of our three years we find that we have covered all aspects of retailing; merchandise, personnel, advertising, interior decoration and costume art. 24 As counselor of the Retailing Department, Miss Edwin a B, Hogai one, M. A., studied retailing at the University of Pittsburg. Upon graduation, she became affiliated with Kaufman's of that city. After a term of service there, she joined the retailing faculty of the Institute. Remaining here until 1934, she then accepted the position of training director of the Schuster Stores of Milwaukee. However, two years later she returned to the Institute as counselor of the depart- ment. More recently, in addition to her duties here, she has been acting in an advisory capacity for retailing courses at Stevens College, and is a member of the personnel division of the National Retailers Dry Goods Association. Donald K. Beckley, M. S., has studied at both Columbia University and New York University. Before joining the retailing faculty in 1937, lie received experience in several metropolitan stores including B, Altman Co. and Abraham Strauss. Since coming to the Institute, he has had additional experience at Vm. Hengerer Co. of Buffalo and Sibley. Lindsay Curr Co. of Rochester. Dorothea M. Fritz, B. S., is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and more recently of the Mac Do we II School of New York City. She has been associated w ith the Institute since 1933, and has had experience in several stores the latest of these being Sibley, Lindsay Curr Co. Horace W. Koch, M. S., received his degrees from Morningside College and New York University. He became associated with the Institute in 1934.

Altman Co. of New' York City Since coming to the Institute, he has several times renewed his experience at Sibley, Lindsay Curr Co. and E. W. Edwards Son of this city. He is also coordinator for student employment. Bernice Mohlenhoef, M. A., was graduated from Iowa State Teachers College and extended her studies at Iowa State and Columbia University. Be- fore coming to the Institute, she received training at Stern Brothers of New York City. She has been teaching here since 1937, and has been associated with Wm. Hengerer Co. of Buffalo and more recently with Sibley, Lindsay Curr Co. Jean M, Stampe graduated from the School of Applied Art at the Institute and the New York School of Fine and Applied Art. After further study with Grace Cornell of The Metropolitan Museum, she did free-lance design work and was on the staff of Cutler Publications before coming to the Institute. 25 PUBLISHING AND PRINTING The art of creating impressions Is the work we've chosen to do, And we hope the ones we've created Have been perfectly O. K. with yon. Mr. Byron G. Culver Yes, indeed, this phrase, creating impres- sions , certainly takes on its fullest meaning when applied to us. For it's not only our busi- ness to create actual impressions on paper with such tilings as woodcuts, line and half-tone plates and type, but to create impressions on the human mind, which is rarely, if ever, as im- pregnable as papier-mache. Although the youngest department in the school, we boast of a faculty par excellence. Our laboratories contain extensive facilities for hand composition, machine composition, stereo- typing, material casting, pressroom work and binding. We have the cooperation of the New York State Publishers’ Association and the active support of publishers’ associations in New York as well as that of the national organ- ization. Therefore, the training derived from these sources is of the best. Our two year full- time course is dedicated to making us the big shots’ of tomorrow in the publishing and print- ing industry. The courses cover everything from lettering and layout, through presswork and casting of various types, to writing and publishing. And, in general, they satisfy the desires of those of us who think publishing and printing u profession supreme . 26 Mr. Byron G. Culver, counselor of the publishing and printing depart' ment, is a graduate of this school. He was head instructor at rhe Munsell School of Color, Meredith, New York, and has done commercial design, illustration and decoration. THOMAS Alvord received his bachelor of arts from Hamilton College and his master of arts at Columbia University After teaching school in Bridgeport. Conn., he went into the newspaper business and has been thus associated since 1916. Frank Dewitt attended the following schools: Middlebury College, Car- negie Tech, Chicago School of Print and Lanston Monotype School. During the years before he came to the Institute, he was connected with the E. L. Hildreth Co., the Grady Press of New York and die Otter Valley Press of Middlebury. Adam Gilliland is a part time instructor in hand composition and teaches monotype operation. Donald Ritchie graduated from the Oswego State Normal School. Be- fore coming to the Institute, he was superintendent of the department of printing in the Rochester Museum of Art and Sciences. JOSEPH F. Sorace attended Brown's Business College of Brooklyn. He has been connected with various concerns since, including: Executive Alliance Press of New York, partner and manager of the Rockville Center Owl , and director at Graphic Arts School in Brooklyn. Ei.NO WIGREN, B, S., graduated from Carnegie Tech He has worked with Douglas McMurtrie and has been employed in the creative department of Case-Hoyt Corporation of this city. 27 MECHANICAL AND CONSTRUCTION It's modern design that counts today. Mechanical construction paves the way. On land, on sea and in the air. We do the work that keeps ’em there. Mr. Her Nr an Martin We, of the Construction Department, jury- like the number now that we are seniors, can look back on our time here in its true perspec- tive (at last) and agree that this truly individ- ualized course has given us everything for which we asked. For as freshmen we could select the material we wished to cover and, with excellent faculty advice, proceed as our own ability would permit. Mechanical, architectural and free-hand drawing and mechanics and heat courses monop- olized our first year, whereas in our second year we concentrated on the strength of materials and surveying. It is then that we become well- known to the masses as the little men behind the transits. Our last year is highlighted by a thesis which can be written about anything concerning build- ing from a chicken coop on up. In the Mechanical Department we also couple technical school training with practical experience which we receive through work such as plant operation, machine design and instru- ment making. We are well-trained for these positions chiefly because of the unparalleled equipment offered us in the machine shop, the heat-treating room and the mechanical labora- tory. So, whether it be construction itself or the making of the instruments which make con- struction possible, the proper training is offered us here. 28 Mr. Herman Martin, counselor graduated from the Institute in 1904. He was a draftsman and a designer at the Gleason Tool Co. and was connected with the Stromberg-CarIson Company. Raymond Biehi.gr, R. S., was granted his degree from Ohio State Univer- sity, He was associated with the National Refining Company of Findlay, Ohio, before he became an instructor here. Herbert Bqhacket, A. I.

S. in chemical engineering at Mass- achusetts Institute of Technology. He has done graduate work at the University of Colorado. 29 ELECTRICAL Old Jilted with a kite and key, Old Ben went on a little spree; He accomplished things to such degree, We wonder why—electricity. Mr, Earle E. Morecock And this questioning thought looms up larger and larger in our minds as we delve into the mysteries o£ electricity. We soon find the electrical lab a fascinating place, but it seems that we don't know too much about electricity. You know—amps, volts, kilo- watts and things like that. And after nearly electrocuting three classmates, two instructors and a janitor, we thoroughly convinced our in- structors of this. However, this gap in our education is soon Idled to over brimming (it's thought) with fun- damental subjects such as mathematics, mechan- ical thermodynamics, and electrical and mag- netic circuits. By the middle of our junior year, we should have formed a Gibraltar-like foundation for in- dividual application courses. These may be done at a varied rate of progress. Although it's a three year course to the average worker, there is a possibility of it seeing slower workers on in years. The application units permit each student to choose for himself from a large variety of sub jects those which are most closely associated with his training objective. Be what it may— lighting a mere Christmas tree or the whole wide world. 30 Mr. Earle E, Morecock, B. S., counselor, graduated from Clemson Col- lege. He was an electrical engineer at the West Virginia Engineering Co. and consulting engineer at the Deko Appliance Co. He is a licensed professional engineer of New York State. Earl Karker, M.

S., graduated from Clarkson, and was connected with the Westinghouse Electrical and Manufacturing Co. and with the Com- monwealth Power Corporation. 31 FOOD ADMINISTRATION To avoid a tunned like a funned In the soul of a roll, Were taking a bit of baking; Better food is our goal. Mrs. Georgie C. Hoke AlThough we may have the same goal in mind, there are two different ways of going after it. It s the old story of You take the high road, and I'll take the low one , For some of us delve into commercial food management, whereas the rest of us are more concerned with hospital dietetics. However, our first year was pretty much the same. We covered such things as chemistry and cookery where we should have learned to pre- pare mouth-watering meals. To this was added a study of principles of color and design which comes in very handy in making a meal look good, even if it doesn't happen to taste that way In our junior and senior years came the part- ing of the ways. We then took our basic foun- dation, and built it up around our own interests. The dietitians concentrated on subjects like chemistry, dietetics and nutrition, while the commercial food students only had eyes for food cost analysis and art in the tea room or club. We mingle this specialized information with practical work experience, our commercial food students working cafeterias or clubs, and our dietitians in hospitals. And with training such as this you can believe us when we say: We know our onions for what they really are . 32 Mrs. Gforgie C Hoke, counselor, is a graduate of Hyannis State Normal School and for a time was director of health education in the public schools of Walden, Mass. Lois Turk COPELAND, B. S,, attended the Institute and received her degree from Columbia University. Dorothea Ferrey. B.

She attended Buffalo State Normal and the Institute. Before returning here to teach, she was on the staff of the Corning public schools. 35 GENERAL HOME ECONOMICS Learned to darn a sock, cook a meal. And plan a budget with appeal. Now we all have laddies at our heck., Still wonder why we took home ec? Miss May D. Benedict Do you know that after a few courses in cooking that future issuance of an invitation by your husband to his boss for dinner isn't necessarily followed by dragging him into the divorce court on cruelty charges but can be a very digestible occasion? After a lesson or two of budgeting, we can actually save a little here and there on that ’’smooth number . But money isn’t the only thing that we learn to save. We conserve time and energy by ingenious methods and habits devel- oped in this course, House work can really be done in half the time if you know how, and it's worth the knowing if the Glamourous Boyer” is giving the femi- nine audience at the neighborhood theater a thrill. In a nutshell this course is a wife-saver, and sees to it that your first year of married life isn't the hardest. The counselor of this department is Miss May D. Benedict, B. S., who received her degree from Columbia University. Since coming here in 1904, she has taken studies in summer sessions there. Louise H. Dale. M. S„ is a graduate of the Virginia Polytechnical Insti- tute. At one time she was discussion leader for the Parent Education and Nursery School group under the Board of Education of Rochester. Eunice Strickland is a graduate of the Institute and attended the Janet Hill Summer School. 34 INDUSTRIAL CHEMICAL Ions, atoms, and molecules, Problems figured with slide rules, Troubles with USO ,— Did someone mention chemistry ? Mention it? It seems as though we've heard nothing else for the last three years. It all began with going crazy trying to keep our mechanical drawings neat and dean. And then we had to worry about unbalanced equations, unexpected precipitation and a few misplaced molecules. As we got involved in our second year, our usual worries are interspersed with additional ones in organic chemistry. We concentrate on the preparation of organic chemicals with oxidation and reduction (wishing this term referred to the amount of work and not the type).

Uo rer ity of Racheifn 37 ♦MEMBER of the executive committee 38 We 2 a Despite the condition of war existing in our country, our Institute students have recognized the necessitated need for extensive education. Al- though we have a slight reduction in enrollment, it is small considering the effect of the declaration of war on students. The day student registration reaches the BOO mark in comparison to 900 of last year. The Institute is taking an important position in training students for essential, strategic employ- ment in industry. An outstanding record was made this year by a class of 250 Seniors. Each activity was competently initiated, executively handled, and pecuniarly con- cluded. Also diligent application to their course and cooperative jobs make the Seniors a group to be proud of. The construction course offered by the Institute will be discontinued this year as it was once before from 1935-1938. Of the 13 graduates, which we hope will not be unlucky, three are going tenta- tively to Bermuda, Washington, and South Amer- ica to continue on in their fields. Since their posi- tions are important and essential to the well being of our country, the course will undoubtedly be con- tinued in the near future. Carrying on its usual assiduous activities the Junior Class has terminated another successful year. Covering a little less than one-third of the enrollment, the class will remain almost intact to carry on the duties of Seniors. Our 255 Freshmen joined into the friendly spirit of M. 1. this year. Being their first year at the In- stitute of Higher Learning”, the Frosh participated actively in all social activities. Each class has carried on the amicable tradition prevalent in Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute since its foundation more than a century ago. 39 19 SENIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Senior Class of 1942 is highly recognized for their stream-fined political strategy. They are going into the world at a time when a well bal- anced social life and a technical skill are more urgently needed than ever before. During the past three years at the Institute this class has been trained to meet the present crisis and act accord- ingly. Two big social activities loom up as important to the Seniors. The first was the Senior Dinner Dance held on the twenty-first of March. The set- ting for this gay affair was the Brooklea Country Club. While dining and dancing to the smooth strains of Freddie Woolston’s band, every Senior had the opportunity to meet once again socially his fellow classmates before the final exams. The last and most outstanding social activity for the Seniors was the Senior Ball which took place the night preceding convocation exercises. This year the highlight of the Senior Ball was the pre- sentation of the 1942 Ramikin. But not to be over- looked was the big-name band, which everyone an- ticipated with not undue enthusiasm. This gala affair was held on the 15th of May at the Masonic Temple Ballroom, Guiding this year's executive committee was Duane Gould, supported by Ray Hutchinson, Ted Burr, Bob Warfield, Bruce Smart, Jack Horn, Bob Wilferth, Bill Ladd, Rita Greenwood, Dorothy Thomsen Louise F:mes, Norma Roeller, Oscar An- derson. Bob Marshall, Jim Tryon, and Carlton Goebel. Mr. Raymond Biehler, faculty adviser, aided the group in formulating their many plans for the year. After convocating on May 16th the Seniors of this year’s class will set forth on their careers ably trained during their years at the Institute both technically and socially. 40 42 Roland Abell 70 Atkinson Street Rochester, N.

TIG HE Mecbtwkal 65 May 15, 1919 January 19, 1942 19 JUNIOR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE As in previous years the Juniors have remained quiet and watchful during the fall term. They again speculated, spurred on by the solid support of the former classes, and planned a highly suc- cessful Junior Prom, the highlight of their junior year. Things have been different this year. National Defense took many of the Juniors for the armed forces and as many more for the industrial front. However, in spite of this, plans were pushed for- ward for the various activities, and again the Juniors came out in front. For their biggest activity, namely the Junior Prom, the class engaged the smooth, flowing rhythm of Bob Armstrong's WBEN-NBC Orches- tra. Featured with this top-notch band were vocal- ists Vera Holly, Tiny Schwartz and the Three Treys. The scene was the Masonic Temple Ball- room and the date was March 7. Much credit for the success of the affair goes to the following com- mittee members: Advertising, Alfred Knebel and Dorothy Kitzing; Tickets, James Snow and Charles Cole; Checking and Favors, Jane Zogg and George Turcott; Orchestra, Max Case, Philip Fallon and Fred Martin. Every' Junior has reason to be proud of their Prom which popularized the Junior Class of 1942. Special credit for the initiative and enthusiasm with which he served throughout the year goes to Max Case, president of the Junior Class. The other representatives, elected by their classmates to guide the junior activities for the year, both social and business, deserve a word of thanks for the highly cooperative spirit which they displayed. Mr. Milton McCullough was the faculty adviser for the 1942 Juniors. At the close of their second year the Junior Class is ready to start their last year at the Institute, not only with an already highly developed technical training, but also with the social background which they have obtained during their stay here. 66 43 ADAMS, J.

It has been found by past experience that good fellowship can be facilitated by having a committee of representa- fives govern and promote the social activities for the year. Therefore, at the beginning of the year each department elected one of its members to rep- resent that department in the undertakings of the Freshmen Executive Committee. The year was started off by the school sponsor- ing two popular Freshmen Mixers, one for each block, which were to acquaint the Freshmen with the rest of the student body. The first highlight of the year, under the spon- sorship of the Freshmen Executive Committee, was a Christmas Party. Refreshments, games and danc- ing provided ample entertainment for all at gayly decorated Clark Union. The party reached its cli- max when Santa Claus made bis suspicious debut and distributed gifts to all present. The next highlight was the successful and enjoy- able hayrtde. Starting out from Clark Union, the party went through and beyond the city limits, later returning to Clark Union where welcomed refresh- ments were served. An hour of dancing concluded the proceedings. Everyone attending had loads of fun. The great success of the previous social gather- ings prompted the Freshmen Executive Committee to undertake another social outing. After a few meetings a Roller Skating Party emerged. Officered by dark, alert Joseph Cirrincione, presi- dent; witty Betty Keating, vice-president; and w ise, conservative Haig Shekcrjian, secretary and treas- urer, the freshmen activities have proven to be broad and fair. Distinctive because of their cooper- ative spirit in promoting these various underclass activities are the following Frosh representatives: Roe Zimmerman, Donald Mallory, William Bos, George Gallasch, Henry Melnylc, Ruth Watkins, Allison Samimk, Helen Green, William Tyrrel and William Allen. Donald Ritchie, faculty ad- viser, helped the new Freshmen over many of the difficult spots of their first year at the Institute. 72 44 Zimmerman, It aw per, Perkins, Andre Nolitf y Young, Austin, Pledger, Monium, Man bai l.

We rise in gratitude to thee, For sweet the message thou hast taught, A message crowned with love and power, Resplendent through thy service wrought. Thy noble founders heard the cry That surges o’er the world today; Their dauntless spirit sends us forth, That we their precepts may obey. 78 7ItH and Uat To enable the individual student to build for himself a well-balanced program, the Institute pro- vided opportunities for participation in various student activities. Activities have been designed to develop the in- terests of all students, and to supplement the aca- demic program both recreations I ly and socially. They serve to round out the student's school life, and to prepare him for his future life in the com rnunity. Activities are open to all students and re- ceive the guidance of interested faculty members Democracy is a living force at the Institute! It governs all student activities. It is embodied in the Student Association whose members pay student fees which finance the extra-curricular programs. Annual elections are held in each class for rep- resentatives to the Student Council. This Council plans, governs, and advises every student organiza- tion which it supports. It also formulates school policies and cooperates with the administration in rendering them effective. Clark Union is a center for student social life, providing meeting rooms for many organizations, and furnished a place for receptions, dances and private parties. New activities this year include a Chess Club, a Hobby Club, and a large map of the United States on which students locate their home- towns. Bridge games, chess, checkers and dancing are carried on in the game room, which contains a combination radio and record player. The two large well-lighted living rooms are filled with com- fortable chairs and davenports. The Women's Residence Hall is governed by the Resident Hall Council, which includes a presi- dent, vice-president and three representatives from each of the three classes. Activities include a Dorm Formal and various social events through- out the year. Four sororities and two fraternities provide a way of becoming better acquainted with other stu- dents. The Intersorority Council unites the sorori- ties, and includes three representatives from each group and a counselor. Their activities take the form of evening receptions to acquaint upper- classmen with the incoming freshmen, rush parties, pledge dinners and an Intersorority Ball. Student publications provide opportunities for students interested in journalism, art, photography, and typography. The Ramikin, the school year book, is a complete and permanent record of stu- dent activity for the year The Psimar, the weekly school newspaper, gives the student body news of all departments, organizations and student hap- penings and is an instrument of student opinion. Men and vvomen students of different depart- ments have an opportunity to see each other at the Glee Club and Band meetings. Any student may join the Glee Club and all types of music are sung. Social events include assembly programs, Christ- mas caroling, a concert in the spring w ith the band and a banquet. A RAMI Band has been organized among students interested in group instrumental playing. The Band is heard during basketball games and plays afterwards for dancing. Department organizations have been organized through the various departments to bring together students with common interests in certain fields, combining the social with the professional. They arc: Mechanical Students' Association, Electrical Students' Association, Photo-Tcch Camera Club, Art Students' League and Students Publishers' and Printers' Association. The Alumni Association helps students to main- tain contact with one another after convocation, and to keep alive the friendly spirit which exists among the student body. 79 Van Hon:. Cala. Si ration. Arnold Git I lav her. Donohue Ande non.

The membership will help you to maintain friendly contacts with your former classmates and to make many new' and valuable friends. You can serve your Alma Mater well by becom- ing an active Alumni member. 80 Lyle Briggs Student Body President TO THE STUDENTS Convocation concluded nearly a decade of prep- aration for our productive years. The course of history has caused the event to coincide with a most important period in the nation's life. No matter what subject we have studied, it contains value either direct or indirect which we can con- tribute to die success of our country's present struggle. However, let us not narrow' our perspective to the present. The period just concluded contains value over-reaching the picture of today. From the days spent here our years hence will gain much profit—a profit for which we will be thankful when we look back on the Institute, its people, and its teachings. si STUDENT COUNCIL The governing unit of the Institute student body is the Student Council. This organization is com- posed of twenty-six members, one representing each class in each department group. These mem- bers are elected annually by their classmates and meet on alternate Tuesdays throughout the school year to discuss the problems and to formulate poli- cies relating to the student activities. One of the most important functions of the Council each year is the allocation to the various student activities of the funds collected through the student activity fees. This work was made more difficult this year by the slight decrease in income. Nevertheless, the student body, through the Council, was able to support a wide range of student activities. During the year, the Student Council continued its efforts begun in 1939 to expand the facilities of Clark Union, the Institute student center. Through the generous gift of Mrs. George H. Clark, a com- plete kitchenette was installed and equipped, thus adding materially to the usefulness of the Union. The kitchenette was formally put into service at a tea given in honor of Mrs. Clark in January. The Student Council has sought this year to cooperate with our country's war effort and toward this end sponsored the donation of blood by stu- dents and faculty for the Red Cross blood bank. In addition, a campaign promoting the sale of de- fense stamps to the student body was undertaken by the Council. Under the direction of Mr. William Toporcer. tennis coach and Clark Union counselor, an organ- ized inter-departmental sports program was set up in December. A sizable contribution from the Institute made possible the purchase of new equip- ment for the gymnasium, and in turn a widely diversified program of leisure time athletics. As an aid to the incoming Council, the 1941-42 Council further clarified the system of representa- tion wrhich involved organizing a standing repre- sentation committee. Under a new schedule of at- tendance the committee’s function lay in keeping a dose check on attendance, and maintaining a full, active participation at meetings. Representa- tion was further modified in a revamping of mem- bership elections in the Student Council articles of constitution, A desire for greater efficiency in the handling of budgets resulted in approval of a defined policy covering the items of expenditures for all Student Association activities under Council jurisdiction. The policy could not be fully applied until the fol- lowing year, but sponsored organizations cooper- ated in this connection for the remainder of the year. In accordance with the usual custom, the awards assembly took place in the spring, at which awards in recognition of student achievement in the major Institute extra-curricula activities were given out. During the final months of the year, the Council members w ere active in preparing plans of the fol- 82 Ferriby, Gould Pearson, Crawford, Lmgbehl, Daigler, Howden Horek, Baker, Crabtree, Fox, Straub, Bloom, Rutledge, Morrison, Ford, Riley, Doerr Davis.

The Student Council is most grateful to the many faculty members who, as advisers, have spent much time and effort in making their activities con- tribute so substantially in supplementing the par- ticipants’ scholastic curricula. Particular thanks are due Mr. Donald K. Berkley, newly appointed Council adviser, for his valuable counsel through- out the year. 85 Mu. William Toporclr CLARK UNION Students wishing to chit-chat reach sleep, lounge, dance, knit or just catch up on the latest gossip and news find Clark Union the perfect place for such activity. Aptly called the living room of the In- stitute , the Union which honors the name of Mr. George H. Clark is the recreation center of our school. Although the building is over a hun- dred years old, the interior is of the most modern design and decoration. There is a game room which overflows with dancers and card sharks every afternoon, a double lounge room, a music appreciation room, a newly installed kitchenette and an assortment of rooms for various club meet ings. As well as the regular school organizations meeting in the Clark Union, the Ski Club, Chess Club, and Hobby Club meet there too. For special events such as parties, teas, lectures and exhibi- tions, arrangements can easily be made with Bill Toporcer, newly appointed counselor. The music appreciation room is fully equipped with a very excellent and expensive turn table and loud speaker as well as an enormous record collec- tion of several compositions. There is a scheduled appreciation hour every week as well as informal record playing during the noon hour. The latest pride and joy of the Union has been the installation of an ultra modem kitchenette which was the very generous and greatly appre- ciated gift of Mrs. George Clark. The kitchenette is available to any organization holding a party in the Union and wishing to serve refreshments. As can be imagined the game room has a table full of games which can be checked out by anyone at any time and the number of signatures show that these games are in constant use every day. There is a phono-radio in the room for the dancing and listening pleasure of all the lads and lassies, The lounge room has Hie softest chairs and davenports in the Institute and often serve for a quick nap. Magazines of all sizes, colors, and descriptions can be found in every nook and a well-worn Esquire lias a place of honor in Bill Toporceris open office. All in all You'll like Clark Union. Clark Union likes you . 84 85 ioi. SPRING STREET Miss Plorance Meyer Life in the dorm this past year has been spiced up to the nth degree with variety plus as our social program was given a shot in the arm by Rachael Smith, our social chairman. It all began by throwing out the welcome mat to the incoming freshmen last fall which was done by the Big and Little Sister Banquet, faculty teas and buffet suppers. All in all, they've been a swell bunch of kids and it's been gobs of fun having them with us. After the thrill of making ourselves a flock of new friends and attempting to map out a ram plan, whereby we could get dressed, make break- fast in live seconds flat, and still have an attractive room, we settled down to ’’cracking the textbooks to obtain a smattering of knowledge. We tapered off with a slight screwball party, which more than lived up to its name as did those present for its duration . Sadie Hawkins day gave us gals a chance to make track stars out of ourselves at which a mock wedding was performed and idiotic games were enjoyed. Old yuletide traditions were carried out again this year by the usual Christmas breakfast, trim- ming the tree, and the party the night before vaca- tion. At this rime the Frosh floated down the stairs to the tune of familiar carols and dressed in white robes and clutching red candles which were send- ing forth questioning flames. By the first of January, Barb Maulhetsch had plans for a bigger and better Dorm Formal under way. She and her committee, through their inex- haustible efforts, made the night of January 24 the night of knights. The key position of president has been held by Elbe Wells, who has made a big hit with us as a 86 Miss Grace Lee: friend as well us an officer. She was ably assisted by the Dorn Council which consisted of Rosemary Doerr, vice president; Jackie Pfleeger, secretary; Jane Zogg, treasurer; Marcelline Dempsey. Doro- thy Brothers, Winona Williams, Rita Greenwood, Margaret Wagner, Regina Crowe, senior repre- sentatives; Lois Atchison, Barbara Coe, junior rep resentatives; and Evelyn Parker, Josephine Wilson. Mary jane Bird, and Jean Glimfreshmen repre- sentatives. Margaret Austin was house chairman and Barb Maulbetsch was our most illustrious fire captain. Probably the most exciting moment of the year was the night that Dr. Fllingson gave us the long awaited news that 53 Washington Street is to be ours next fall. Our blueprints prove that it will be one of the most unusual dorms in the country in that its room arrangements are apartments and in- clude dressing rooms, studios, baths and kitchen- ettes. As we leave the old dorm behind (hoping to take with us only fond memories) we must admit that for at! its decrepitudes, it's been the stamping grounds for loads of happy kids and the scene of many a good time.

It was organized for the purpose of uniting the sororities in matters of common interest and to guide and regulate the rushing of prospective members. Im- portant functions are the scheduling of sorority events such as rush parties, dances, house parties and the annual pledge dinners, and the setting up of regulations which will he satisfactory to all the sororities for each of these social affairs. Increasing interest and effort on the part of the participating sororities paint a bright future for the Intersorority Council and for the harmonious relationship among the sororities which it governs. The traditional Intersorority Ball was held on April 18th at the Rochester Club. The highlight of the Ball was the awarding of the Intersorority Scholastic Trophy to the sorority w ith the highest scholastic average for the year. Sigma Kappa Delta Sorority won the trophy this year. The Council is composed of three representa- tives and the faculty adviser from each sorority and a faculty adviser to the Council: Harriet Thayer, president; Eleanor Denford, vice-president; Doro- thy Prudom, secretary; Mildred Kuebler, treasurer; Miss Bertha Thurber, Miss Margaret Jameson, Mrs. Jean Stampe, and Mrs. Lena Karker, counsel- ors; Miss Dorothea Ferrey, faculty adviser; Bar bara Coe, Dorothy Griffith, Marjorie Jones, Char- lotte Gottlober, Louise Ernes, Marion Jameson, Janet Tunison and Doris Davie, representatives. 90 ALPHA PSI SORORITY OFFICERS Marjorie Jones ■ ■ ■ ■ - President Mildred Kuebler Vice-President June Hill Secretary Ruth Bown Treasurer Marjorie Jones Inter sorority representative Mildred Kuebler Intersorority representative Charlotte Gottlober Inter sorority representative Miss Bertha Thurber Faculty Adviser HONORARY MEMBERS Mrs. Georgie Hoke Miss May D.

RAMIKIN Here is the 1942 Ramikin, your year book It i$ the Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute in miniature. Within its covers the Ramikin Staff, with the cooperation of the student body and ad ministration has endeavored to accurately depict Ruth Thomas Edit or-in-chief in a literary, pictorial and artistic manner your story while at the Institute this year—your faculty, classmates and friends in classes and at play. The Ramikin opens with the introductory pages —title pages, dedication and our pages in honor of our fellow' classmates who left school this year to serve their country in one of the many armed forces. The remainder of The Ramikin is divided into six books: Around the Block —views around school; They Say —our administration and their accomplishments; We Do —the Institutes three classes, seniors, juniors, and freshmen; This and That —student government, Clark Union, 102 Spring Street, sororities and fraternities, student publications, music and department clubs; And Play —athletics offered us; For Fun —the social calendar for 1941 42, advertisements, and a com trast between the old and new dormitories.

I wish, as editor-in-chief, to sincerely thank each and every member of the staff and Mr. Horace Koch, our faculty adviser, for the splendid cooper- ation they have shown, the great number of hours —some more than others—they have spent, and the needy services they have offered. May next year’s Ramikin be a still bigger and better an- nual. We, the Ramikin Staff, hope that this 1942 Rain- ikin will preserve the memories of pleasant and well-spent days at Mechanics Institute and that this annual will be a source of pride and lasting enjoy- ment to the administration, to the alumni, and to the undergraduates to whom it is presented as an- other chapter in the splendid history of RAMI. 100 THE 1941 PSIMAR The Psimar, our school paper, is printed weekly to supply news desired by all interested in the school—students, faculty, parents and alumni. Its unusual name is explained by reading it back wards: R — Rochester, A Athenaeum, M — Mechanics, I — Institute, S — Student, P—Pub- lication. The Psimar aims to combine the interests of and to create a closer union between the stu- dents and faculty of the different departments and organizations. It promotes worthy school activities; reports all current happenings—dances, sport events and special parties; voices student and faculty opinion; and provides an outlet for the best creative, literary and artistic achievements as poetry, sketches, photographs and feature articles. Much time and hard work is required by each member of the staff which consists of; Shirley Doersam, editor-in-chief; Pat Malara, advertising manager; Loren Spero, photographic editor; Neil Preston, circulation manager; and Ruth June Geis- inger, Mari-Jane Ansberger, Jeanne DeVolder, Shirley Doersam David Willis, Rosemary Young, Donald Johns, Jack Hanna, Barbara Coe, Llizabeth Gray and Bruce Crawford, reporters. Many thanks go to Mr. Frank DeWitt, the faculty adviser, and to the Senior Publishing and Printing Students for the time and effort they give in printing the Psimar. 101 THE BAND The RAMI Band, now in its second year, was reorganized in the fall under the combined guid- ance of William Rushmore, ex-president, and William Popowych, conductor. A number of stu- dents, playing a variety of band instruments, faith- fully attended rehearsals enabling the formation of a well-proportioned organization complete with full brass, reed and percussion sections. Soon after its organization, the officers for the year were elected, and a resolution passed that each member who showed interest and attended prac- tice and performances would receive letters (large block M s”, appropriately designed) at the com- pletion of the season. The Band meets every Wednesday evening at the Gym to play everything from The Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech to fugues by Bach. Outstanding public appearances include playing at the athletic events of the Institute, and a concert which is shared with the Glee Club in the spring. The members of the Band express grateful ap- preciation to Mr. William Popowych, conductor; and Mr, Earl Morecock, faculty adviser, for their patience and perseverance in making this year's Band the success it was. The 1942 Band elected the following to guide their activities: William Polaikis, president; Har- vey Dudley, vice-president, and Marie Baltan, librarian. These students are members of the band, listed according to instruments: trumpets. Robert Keller. Clair Button, Bill Rushmore and Edward Joslyn; trombones, Frank Horek, Harvey Dudley, Leonard Weisbeck and Lin wood Morrison; clarinets. Bill Polaikis, Dick Kingsbury, Max Case, Natalie Ruby, Mr. Earl Morecock, James Underwood and Betty Shamble; saxophones, Dorothy Moore, Lesie Strobel, and Lew Safranski; flutes. Marie Balian and Wesley Woodman; French horn, Richard Bo halt; baritone, Milton Schreiber; bass horn. Bob Livingston, Art Held and Wayne Pierce; and drums, Clyde Williams, Bill Barton, Cliff Burnpus, Richard Rice, Robert Dewey and Jack Hanna. 102 The Glee Club, an organization which offers men and women of all departments an opportunity to sing various types of music including classical and religious selections, is conducted for the pur- pose of furthering the interests of the student body socially as well as musically. The activities of the group vary from year to year. The first event for the season was a welcome party for old and new members to acquaint them with the plans of the Glee Club. The club meets every Wednesday evening in Clark Union and new students are always welcome. The second activity was a hay ride on Chili Road. After a pleasant one hour and a half ride, the members enjoyed singing and refreshments at the home of Mr. Kendell. The annual Christmas Party was held on De- cember 17th in Clark Union. The group sang yule- tide carols and enjoyed tasty refreshments. Small gifts were exchanged by those present. On January 22nd the club sponsored its first public performance-—the Glee Club Assembly. The program was dedicated to the life and works of Stephen Foster. The musical highlight of the year for the club was a musical show shared with the band in East- man Hall on March 13th. The theme of the show was patriotic and was followed by a dance. The successful year of the Glee Club was brought to a close by an annual banquet held on March 18th at the Century Sweet Shop. After a delightful dinner, the officers for the following year were announced. Games and dancing were enjoyed by all. The officers of the Glee Club for 1942 are: Mar- garet Austin, president; Rita Greenwood, vice president; Clyde Johnson, treasurer; Nelson Her- ron. secretary; Grace Vary, librarian. The Glee Club wishes to express their apprecia- tion to Mr. Kendell. its competent director; Mrs. Quinn, the accompanist; and Mrs. Copeland, fac- ulty adviser, who have helped so much to make this a grand year for the Glee Club. 103 MECHANICAL STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION The Mechanical Students' Association, now in its fifteenth year, has had one of its most successful seasons in history The organization of the asso- ciation is such that there are separate officers for each block. At the first meeting of the season officers were elected for each block, and they im- mediately planned a picnic for each block. At both of these a very enjoyable time was had by all. The membership this year was larger than usual due to the fact that several underclassmen aided in the membership drive and were able to contact the Freshmen and Juniors. The first regular meeting for Block A was held on September 29, 1941, with President Harvey Dudley in the chair. Much of the essential busi- ness necessary in order to get well organized was successfully conducted and some excellent movies were shown by John Weatherly, On November 3, 1941, Mr. Kolb, Comptroller of R A. and M. I., addressed the B Block section and gave some very practical pointers on how to make the Association successful. Mr. Kolb also told some amusing stories and soon had the mem- bers full of humor. With the Vice-President, Norman Gibson, in the chair. Block B held a very successful technical meeting on February 19, 1942. On this occasion, Mr. F. B. O'Brien, told the members something about Tool Design. This was of particular interest to the Senior Instrument Makers and they all in- dulged in a very lively discussion at the end of the meeting. Others present, even the lowly Freshmen and the well qualitied faculty members, learned the many useful things about punches and dies, as well as about jigs and fixtures. Besides holding many technical meetings, each block held a social event in Clark Union. These were called Boiler Makers' Brawls' in the tradi- tional manner, but actually they were very select affairs, well chaperoned and characterized by charming dancing and conjaring tricks. The magic was supplied by Donald Johns and most of the guests ended up by being thoroughly bewitched, A few lucky members managed to secure a trip through the Bell Aircraft Company in Buffalo. Envied by all, these fortunate ones saw die famous Aerocobra being built and to them there was no doubt about the advantages of M. S. A. member- ship. Activities ended with the Annual Banquet. This was held on April 23, 1942, at Howard Johnson's. Both blocks crowded the hall and heard Mr. Ray- mond Foster, of the American Laundry and Ma- chinery Company, give an inspiring address. The evening was marked by a spirit of good fellowship and plans were made for a bigger and better M. S. A for next year. Officers and workers this year were: President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Section A Harvey Dudley Phil Warden Donald Johns Ralph Thornton Section B Martin Suter Norman Gibson Jack Horn Clarence Crede 104 ELECTRICAL STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION After a lapse of five years the E. S. A has finally come into its own once again. Founded originally in 1923, the organization made great progress until the year 1936, at which time, due to world condi- tions and signs of financial stress, it was temporar- ily suspended, Its aims today are the same as the original ones drawn up nineteen years ago: to bring the electrical students together socially, and to have them benefit indirectly from the experi- ences of successful men in their field. The latter is accomplished by inviting speakers who relate per- sonal experiences and put on educational demon- strations. Five major programs were planned and accom- plished this year. Guest speakers were: Mr. Alfred A. Johns, Commander of the Monroe County American Legion; Mr. Lester Twitched and Mr. Albert Thomas of the Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation; and Mr. Hugh son, Mr. Rushnell, and Mr. Howe of the General Railway Signal Company. The last two lectures were supplement- ed by well-organized demonstrations. The pro- gram committee had a speaker and demonstration from the Strom berg-Car I son Telephone Manufac- turing Company in the spring. The Annual Ban- quet climaxed what has already proven to be a very successful semester of activities. The sixty wire twisters voted themselves insig- nia pins which have been standardized for procure- ment by future classes and new members, thus in- suring the furthering of fraternalism among the electrical students. Much credit is due the chairman and officers of the program committee and Mr. E, M. Morecock, who, as faculty adviser, was most cooperative in assisting with the activities during this year. The following are the officers of the organiza- tion: O. W. Button, president; Johnston S. Brodie, vice-president; Willis VanDemark, treasurer; David Gulvin, secretary; and Carlton Goebel, pro- gram chairman. The student body congratulates the E. S. A. for the fine enthusiasm they have shown in reorgan- izing the association and wishes them continued success and good fortune. 105 PHOTO-TECH CAMERA CLUB The Photo-Tech Camera Club is an organization made up of the students of the photographic de- partment. Its purposes are to promote friendship among the students, to further their interests in photography and to maintain relationships be- tween the students and faculty to the advantage of ail concerned. It is governed by a Photo-Tech Council, made up of two representatives from the freshmen, juniors and seniors, whose purposes are to determine the policy of the dub, appoint com- mittees and assume the responsibility for the dub activities. The official ’’mouthpiece of the Photo-Tech students is the Photo-Tech Bulletin, a rare hit of literature which is printed weekly and contains news, views, dose-ups. cartoons and snippy snaps'. Every' month trained persons come to judge pho- tographs made by the students. Those pictures found to be of good composition and technique are hung in the school cafeteria and awarded points, salon labels and a blue ribbon for outstanding merit. This year arrangements were made with the local department stores whereby any type of mer- chasdise may be borrowed to photograph. At several of the meetings nationally prominent men in the photographic industry and professional photography speak to the dub members. The social events of the club start with a corn roast held in the fall at which time the freshmen are introduced into the department. In June the Farewell Banquet is held in a leading hotel and the principal speaker of the evening is a man of fame and achievement in the photographic field. Pre- sentation of salon awards, excellent cuisine and farewell speeches add to make it the best affair of the year. The success of the dub i$ due to the fine coopera- tion of the Photo-Tech students and the under- standing nature of Mr. Charles Savage. Members of the Council are: Louis Pavledes, Remson Ken tos, Boyd Crabtree, Leslie Stroebel, Phil Sydney, Dick Blackwell; Photo-Tech Bulletin: Robert Goldstein, Robert Wilson; property service: Vir- ginia Lee, Gere Kruse; speaker committee: John Miller, Remson Kentos; salon committee: Walter Chase, Eugene Vermilya, Robert Etter, Sherman Poole. 106 ART STUDENTS’ LEAGUE Everybody who is anybody in the art school be- longs to die Art Students’ League because it is the extra-curricular activity with all the students in the Bevier Building, To say that the Art League has a serious aspect is misleading because even when the members work, as during weekly Sketch Nights and occasional sketch trips, they still have their fun. Said fun starts at the beginning of the year when all the wild-eyed, trembling Frosh are herded to- gether to undergo the traditional Art League in- itiation, which among other things (things in this case has a wealth of meaning) requires the Fresh- men to deliver a solemn oath of allegiance to Algy, patron Saint of the Art League, Although the status of All men, a gentleman of Hindu origin who was acquired this year, has not as yet been de- termined, he has already proven himself to be the backbone ’ of his anatomy classes. In the capacity of faculty adviser, Mr, Bond is thanked for his guidance and fine work with the club which is deeply appreciated by all its mem- bers. His memorable performance of Macbeth” at the Hallowe'en Party is but one example of his willingness to give his time and talents that the League's functions might be successful. Sausage roast at the home of Mr. Ailing Clem- ents, Christmas caroling in the gaily decorated Bevier living room, fevered production of the an- nual Art League play, sleigh rides, tumultuous roller-skating parties, exciting cabin parties and sentimental farewell parties leave the art students with a wealth of fond memories. The lads and lassies who deserve much credit for planning the League's activities arc: Elizabeth Gray, president; Laurel Wagner, vice-president; Barbara Coe, secretary; Henry Mclver, treasurer; and James Pulvino, social chairman. 107 PI CLUB The Etaoin Shrdlu Club, usually spoken of as the Pi Club, is indisputably the most unusually named organization in the Institute. The official name originates from the letters of the first two vertical rows of keys on the Linotype keyboard. The main purpose of this five year old club is to unite the Freshmen and Senior printers. This is of the utmost importance in this department be- cause the program of study is limited to two years; therefore, to get the most out of student associa- tions they must be formed early. The club also affords a medium through which educational con- tacts may be made. Beginning to function in September immediate- ly upon the opening of school regular meetings occur in Clark Union ever)' other Wednesday after classes throughout the school year. Officers are elected at the dose of each school term and take office upon returning to school in the fall. The Etaoin Shrdluites carry on the club functions and activities solely through dues which are paid at each regular meeting. Since the club is a member of the Student Na- tional Graphic Arts Society, each student upon becoming a Pi ster is entitled to a membership pin and enrollment card identifying his affiliation. The Pi Club also publishes the Typographer , a monthly booklet which has a circulation of 600 among schools, clubs and employers of the country'. The print slingers seem to go in for sports in a big way. They sponsor a bowling team in the win- ter months and a soft ball team in the spring. The dub frequently holds picnics and other outside affairs as well as cooperating writh the local crafts- men and other craft groups on educational pro- grams. Highlights of the year are the two ban- quets: the first is held in December before Christ- mas recess and the second in June in honor of the Seniors. Although the Pi Club is a small organization and is handicapped by the loss of upperclassmen every year, it still is able to provide a program of activity as varied and interesting as that of any other organization in the Institute. The officers for 1942 are: Robert Marshall, pres- ident; Harold Pender, vice-president; John Wel- lenholfer, secretary; Jacob Muha, treasurer; Don- ald Blackwell, editor of Typographer; Mr. Joseph Sorace, faculty adviser. 108 Plau Importante of a well-rounded and balanced athletic program for each individual student is emphasized by the wide range of sport activities provided at the Institute. Major men's sports are basketball and wrestling. These two exciting sports were not only enjoyed by the students participating in the competitive games, but by the many students who watched and cheered them on. The 1941-42 basketball team completed a good season having won seven games. Four of die Institute's top wrestlers represented the school at the Intercollegiate Wrestling Cham- pionship in Cleveland. The three boys and three girls who acted as cheer leaders did much to arouse interest in and gain support for the athletic teams of the blue and gray. Only a rider can know the free and easy feeling of cantering through hill and dale on his favorite mount; a new thrill was had by those who joined the Ski Club and buckled on their skiis for a rip- ping shush down the snow-covered runs and traits of the many parks in and around Rochester; many cyclists from the Institute swarmed Genesee Park to pass many delightful hours on their wheels; more good times were had by those who took their tennis rackets to the school courts for singles and doubles ; and wielders of the “foil further developed their grace and speed of movement at fencing matches. Social dancing was a great success this year, under the direction of a well-known teacher. The variety of dances taught included the Rhumba, the Viennese Waltz, the Cuban a, and the Peabody. On stormy winter afternoons many students tried their luck at knocking over the pins at near-by bowling alleys; at any time during the day the fel- lows can be found playing table tennis, badminton, or boxing in the gym; again this year the swim- ming facilities of the Rochester Natatorium were offered the Institute girls; during the fall and spring the different departments and classes played intramural softball and football. Through these various athletic activities RAMI students will benefit not only now but in the future because of excellent health and habits developed here. Harold Brodie Leo Fox BASKETBALL Coach Leo Fox did a fine coaching job this year in winning one-half of the games played because he had only one regular from last year's team, Captain Roy Kelso, and two substitutes, Fred Mar- tin and Ed Connell. The rest of the squad of four- teen players were freshmen or juniors who did not come out for the team last year. Roy 'My- Eyes- A re-Good - Enough - for- the-Na vy Kel so f ai 1 ed to show his real ability for the first few games but staged a real comeback thereafter and was a val- uable asset not only in that he was high scorer for the season with 1L7 points, but for his work in taking the ball off the backboards. Roy is the only Senior on the squad this year. Ercd That-Curly- Hair-Still-Gets-Them ‘ Martin had a hot and cold” season. Off to a very poor start, he staged a comeback later to play bang-up ball not only de- fensively but from a scoring standpoint as well. We predict a good season for Freddy next year. Smilin' Ed” Connell was another in-and-outer . His play at the start of the season was outstanding, the Plattsburg victory being in a large measure a tribute to his aggressiveness. Handicapped during the middle of the year by an injured ankle, his play suffered for most of the remainder of the season. He will be back next year. Grant Ardell. a member of last year’s reserves, stepped into a first team berth in the Plattsburg game and continued to play excellent ball for the remainder of the sched- ule. Confining his play mostly to a defensive game, his scoring was not as high as it would have been had he not chosen to feed” his teammates, but you could count on him for a basket or two each game. With the added confidence from this year's play, Grant” should have a fine season next year. The only other junior on the squad, Walt Andrus, used his height to good advantage in many of the games. Illness in his family decreased Walt's effec- tiveness as he was unable to get to some practices, but we anticipate some stellar play from him next year. Three Freshmen completed the first string: George Speed Backer, Bob Buckey” Craugh, and Dick “Boogy” Blackwell. George, although kept from a good many practices due to working a trick” that lasted through the practice period, came along in fine style, He was outstanding for his fight during the latter part of the season, and his offensive play did not seem to suffer from being given the assignment of guarding the opponents speedboys”, as he was high scorer in several games. Despite his lack of height he and Rlackie took their share of the rebounds off the banks. Blackie made up for his short stature by his speed, aggressiveness and fine spirit and attitude. Bucky started slowly but made his presence felt in earnest during the middle and latter part of the season. He was second high scorer for the season with 114 points but his greatest contribution to the team was his defensive and passing ability. These last three men arc all good ball handlers and are shifty and aggressive. They should be a valuable asset to our team when they have acquired a little more experience working together as a unit. The Reserve team which again functioned as a training ground for the members of the squad who were not seeing much action on the Varsity had a good season winning five out of six games. The regular performers included Tracy The Sage of Naples' Baxter, Warren 'Webster’s Pride ' derweight Friedman, Joe Safety Pin Cirincione, and Farlin Indiana McQueen. They were aug- mented at times by various other members of the squad. Their work m practices has been instru- mental in keeping the regulars on their toes, and their exceptional spirit was often contageous to the entire squad. The scoring was fairly well scat- tered. We are looking forward to seeing a number Duster Etter, Norman Un- of these men playing vith 1941-42 BASKE 'LBALL SCHEDULE Mechanics - . . 24 Oswego Teachers - - - - 44 Mechanics - - - 39 Alliance College - - - - 46 Mechanics - . . 40 Plattsburgh - - - - - 39 Mechanics • - - 31 Geneseo Teachers - - - 25 Mechanics - - - 38 Oswego Teachers - - 42 Mechanics - - - 46 Geneseo Teachers - - - 40 Mechanics - - - 46 Rrockport Teachers - 40 Mechanics - - - 48 Fredonia Teachers 43 Mechanics - - - 41 Brock port Teachers - - - 25 Mechanics - . . 42 Alliance College - - - - 61 Mechanics - - - 31 Fredonia Teachers - - - 55 Mechanics . . _ 43 Cobleskill Aggies - - - - 52 Mechanics ... 43 Mansfield Teachers - - - 52 Mechanics - - - 60 Mansfield Teachers - 58 372 622 Won Lost — 7 Wilder, Connell.

This sport aids students both physically and mentally to think fast and move faster. The sport of intercollegiate wrestling provides good entertainment along with the dis- play of good sportsmanship between opponents on the mat and the spectators. Practice for this sport starts early in October and continues through March, Very few students who come out for wrestling have had any experi- ence before coming to the Institute. Therefore, every one had a good chance to make the varsity team that represents Mechanics Institute in its duel meets. Each member of the wrestling squad is ex- pected to abide by the training rules in the student handbook. Faithfulness to these rules and perfect attendance at practices will enable students repre- senting the Institute to give a performance of which the RAMI student body and themselves can well be proud of. Regulars on the wrestling squad for 19 2 are: Ray Bloom. Charles Costello, Robert Haines, William Cornelius, Lee Baker, William Tarplee, Robert Renner, Robert Bos, William Beckdahl, Don Punnett. Ray Russel. C Button, and Stuart Pierce, manager. Collegiate competition for our varsity team is furnished by teams from Kent State University, Syracuse University, Buffalo University, Alfred University, St. Lawrence University and Case School of Applied Science of Cleveland, Ohio, along with other universities and colleges having representation in the collegiate wrestling field, Again Mechanics Institute sent wrestlers to the Intercollegiate Wrestling Championships held in Cleveland, Those representing the Institute were: 112 Captain William Tarplee in the 165 pound class, Robert Renner in the 175 pound class, Raymond Bloom in the 121 pound class, and Charles Cos- tello in the 128 pound class. Bill Tarplee gained the finals but lost to Robert Bader of Kent State University by the bout score of 8 to 5. Bob Renner and Ray Bloom received metal awards for 4th place in their classes. Bob Renner, Chuck Costello, and Captain Bill Tarplee will be lost to the team next year through graduation. Their absence will be felt but apt reservists arc expected to Jill their shoes for the 1942-1943 season. 19 H-1912 WRESTLING SCHEDULE Mechanics - 6 Kent State University 26 Mechanics - - 13 Case School of Applied Science 25 Mechanics - 21 St. Lawrence University - - - 15 Mechanics - - 11 Alfred University - - - - 23 Mechanics - - 30 Buffalo University' .... 10 Mechanics - - 13 Syracuse University .... 21 Total - - 94 Total 120 Won — 2 Lost — 4 Pierce, Alberto.

To many rheir task seems an easy one but it, like- other things, requires work and action. For loyal- ty, enthusiasm, and willingness, this blue and gray group deserve much credit. Loyalty is a quality that they possess in abundance and. in recognition of that spirit, praise is due them. Next year they hope to do even better but they need and ask for more coopera- tion from the gang. Under the direction of Mr. Clar- ence Tunes, they are: Mary Jane Braico, Evelyn Daniels, Betty Ann Ford, Mary Jane Bird. Harry Buss, William Brignall and Armond Beckwith. Every Thursday evening finds the members of rhe Riding Club gathered at the March Road Stables. To them nothing is more invigorating than a good swift canter across the fields and rhrough the woods. The two big social events were the horse show and dinner- hot weeks ahead the members brushed up on horse- manship and jumping in order to face the stiff compe- tition for ribbons and trophies. Other minor social activities were sausage roasts and barn dances. The members had swell rimes together and are looking for- ward to next year when they hope to meet again. The executive committee includes: Frank Kirby, president; Ruth June Gcisinger, publicity agent; Jane McNcilly and Royal Kane. Miss Dorothea Fritz is faculty adviser. Because of the need for an outside winter sport at the Institute, a Ski Club was organized under the supervision of Bill Toporcer. Although the club is self-sustaining, skiing has proved to be of special in- terest to several students. Indoors the Ski Club had meetings to discuss skiing technique, equipment for skiing, location and trails for skiing and had movies and lectures by experienced skiers, Out-of-doors there was moonlight skiing, ski-hikes, down-hill practice, instruction for novices and slalom The highlights were the trips on snow trains taken as a group. The Ski Club chose rhe following officers: Robert Wilson, president; Frank Kirby, vice-president; and Mary Jane Braico, secretary and treasurer. 11 4 The bike hike is one of the first means of striking up new acquaintanceships for the Freshmen and re- newing old friendships of rhe upperclassmen. Hikes begin early in the fall and continue till the first snow- fall. and arc resumed in the spring. Cyclists of the In- stitute will long remember the winding roads and long down hill rides in Genesee Valley Park on Saturday afternoons. After a muscle strain all afternoon, an empty feeling becomes obvious in (he stomach. All bikes head for the pavilion where the aroma of steak and coffee cooking over the open grill prove our desire for food. After contenting our appetite, we finish off the meal with a big apple and return to the city feeling satisfied and looking forward to the next hike. Tennis is a thriving fall and spring sport at the Institute. In the fall the students receive instruction in fundamentals from the Institute's coach. William To- po rcer, Rochester champion several times, and practice several afternoons on the courts located on South Fitz- hugh Street. Then they engage in a match with the Alumni, and hold the annual fall tournament to de- termine the school champion. Finalists this year were: Henry Anderson and Richard Morse. The eight play- ers reaching the1 quarter-finals of this tournament form rhe nucleus of the school tennis team which matches with several other institutions in the spring. The tennis faculty advisers are Warren Davis and Mrs, Marie Kinnear. Come on, tennis fans, lots make tennis a favorite sport here. Fencing is becoming more popular among the de- votees of social sports , One of the youngest athletic activities at the Institute, the dub is growing in mem- bership and consisrsof twenty-five fencing enthusiasts. Under the able direction of the fencing coach, Mr. Harold Florescu. Foils dash every other week and be- ginners arc capable of participating in practice com- petitive matches after four or five lessons, A team is made up of those who are most proficient in the art and grace of fencing. Fencing is an easy sport to accomplish and develops the muscles necessary for fast movement. It is a gentlemen s sport and provides a medium for good sportsmanship 116 Student Mixer Proves Success; Duke-Duchess Candidates Introduced Big-Little Sister Banquet Enjoyed PSIM Student Publication o' No. 4 RAMI Treasurer Reports on Institute's Financial Condition Enrollment for Year Will Total 4,000 Everybody seemed to be emir ing himself thoroughly la-’ at the B-block v Klent add til- th rh”' Assets of the Rochester Athen- uni and Mechanics Institute now ■ I $3,-101,410.75, George H.

Whereas the filial fidelity displayed by a few forlorn, frustrated, flight)’ females caused flickers of fun to fly familiar- ly in formation upon frivolous faces as the frails flippancy falsified about the frippery flown on the flaccid flabbiness of the other frames. However, the federation of fortunate fellows feasted their eye on the fiery flowers who fluctuated from one fool to another, flagrantly fermenting fusses and fueds. Anyway, forgetting their folly, they had fun. 120 Success, kiddies, and fare thee well, This comes to you through the courtesy of A. W. O. L 121 WARREN ST.

Well, if comparison refers to likeness and contrast to difference, contrast is the word to use. For there's no bigger difference known to us right now than the one between 102 Spring and 55 South Washington Street. And if you're in any doubt, step right this way for the big show just starting! As you enter the new dorm and glance agogedly around only one thought will enter your head You'll think to yourself, This is paradise. (If w e re dreaming, let us be. Umph, mph, you won’t be dreaming.) Its lovely lobby literally throws its arms out to you in welcome; its spacious living room folds you in its comforting surroundings; and its lounge will satisfy your more restless mo- ments. But were afraid they won't let you be either, for from the minute you pass those por- tals , you'll be constantly bothered to death with modem conveniences. For instance, it wron't be necessary to post ton- nage signs on those elevators, for you'll find it’s SOUTH WASHINGTON ST In Comparison possible to load all your bags on the elevator at one time and still rise easily to your floor without making your dear, old Aunt Fanny get out and walk to cut down on balast. And as a result, here you are on your floor, away ahead of schedule, to inspect your apartment If you're living with a couple of friends, you've prob- ably taken a triple which includes everything and the kitchen sink . Namely, a living rot im- bed room and a sun room-bedroom combinations, a dinette, a kitchenette and a bath room. To go on with our study in contrast, you’ll find the place heated with steam and lighted by elec- tricity minus the usual unrationed supply of cold spells and shorts. You’ll also notice sooner or later that the apartments are so large and airy that you no longer feel as though you were playing sardines” when entertaining a group of friends. Your closets will follow suit—in respect to size— so that you'll be able to confine your acrobatics to gym instead of in getting clothes in and out of them. And now just a friendly warning—don't 130 try to take in a matinee while running your bath in this ’ Shangrila” as sixty drips a minute isn't the maximum speed limit anymore.

Also you will be able to disprove the theory that cooking is a lost art after slight supervision along these lines. Out of sight, out of mind enters our heads as we think of those sleepablc wall beds you'll be using—an accommodation sadly lacking in the old dorm, as there were many things besides beds which could have well stood being out of sight. The individual buzzer system replaces the now rightfully defunct hit or miss floor phone. A fully equipped laundry in the basement makes the job of washing less tedious, the job of ironing less like a bingo game seeing it is no longer neces- sary to play around indefinitely before finding a combination (plug and iron) that will work. Those handy little things called floor plugs tend to make the rooms look less like national hook-ups (we’ve been used to draping’ our cords from the one lonely outlet in the center of the ceiling). In general, there will be a new slant on things. Things being everything from the floor� up the walls to the ceiling. Gosh, they've even taken the slant out of the radiators. What'll we do for book- rests when studying? So there you have it. And in pointing out the contrast between the old and the new, we hope you'll notice the comparison between the new and the comforts of your own home. m JUNIORS No longer Johnny Raws , the Jentle joybirds (namely the Juniors) joyously jostled and jounced their Jezebel Is at the Junior Prom joistmg last March seventh. These jeunesse doree jawed a jangled jargon of their own in a jocose manner, jibing at each other as they jigged with their Janes to the jdxx of Bob Armstrong. The jocularity of the jesters as they joked with the other Jacks and Jills made everything Jake in the jungle. While journalists jotted down the jejune jeerings of the jabbering juvenile jackanapes from Jerkwater Junction, others lingered their jujus and prayed to Jove that the jackassery of the Jack Sprats and the juggins would not jam the jails.

After a scrupulous and sacrificial struggle, they have accepted the scepter of knowledge that leads to the sublime, leaving the short-sighted, shiftless simpletons along the way. Those who have survived are secure in their strength; they need no sinecure to act as their solace; no sermon is necessary to show this sect the shallowness of the smirking sycophants who are sodden with self-importance and stupidity; rather, their suave splendor is their salvation. No longer shackled in strife with the sedition and slander spread by shame- less scoundrels, these sedulous Seniors have steadfastly squashed and scourged all specious, shabby strategems and shams (which is their speciality), secured their sanity, and have become known as the seers that they are. 135 Farmer {to daughter just returned from Me- chanics) : How much do you weigh now ?
