Pete Seward was elected to lead the Teqh nine. Tech had a good team considering the fact that more stress was laid on track and that the team must have been without a horseshoe. The lllaroon and Gray team showed what baseball ability they had when they shut out Susquehanna, and also when they defeated the Lebanon Valley Reserves in a seventeen inning game by a score of 5 to 4. VVe appreciate the work which Coach Pomp spent on the team and congratulate hlanager Beach for the fine schedule which he arranged for the Tech nine. -O'-00000000000000000000000000000000-'I--0o00o0il0OOl00oo0Q000l00000900909 39

coaooosnanQ5nuone00os:0Qs000cansoooaooolsosooosqggqqaocllilllsasqq Alumni Tl1is Association, although not very' old, has done many wonderful things and has kept abreast of the times. An organized body witl1 regular meetings and its success speaks for itself. Xvhen this Association was started some years ago it lacked, as all new societies do, financial support, hut all the president l1ad to do was to ask for it, and every' fellow was ready to go down into his pocket and give as IHl1Cll as tl1e president asked for. Xxlt' might say a word ahout the way tl1e fxlllllllll supports our athletic teams. You can go to any Tech game and see a fellow who looks, to you. too old to go to Tech, yelling and rooting as loud as any Tech st11dent. Un inquiring you will find that he is a lHCIlll3Cl' of the Tech High Alllllllll Association. A large numher of these fellows. since leaving school, have hee11 spread throughout the country, many miles from home, l7llf this llZlS not in any way put a damper 11po11 their interest in the school, They' have numerous times written to Ur. lfager telling him where they are situated and what they are doing and asking all ahout the school. This interest seems to he something that outsiders cannot understand. They often say that they are keeping it U11 -iust as a matter of form, h11t if any one of those outsiders would have spent fo11r years in fllilf school he wo11ld have quite a different view. There is always a feeling of attraction, even stronger than magnetic attraction, that keeps tl1e fellows forever true. It has heen customary for tl1e last several years for the Association to give the memhers of tl1e foothall team a hanquet after their hrilliant seaso11. Someone suggested that tl1e scruhs he invited also. This wo11ld add considerahly to tl1e cost of the banquet. There was not a m11rm11r. The memhers of the Association were willing to dig down in their pockets and prod11ce tl1e Slllll necessary for the scruhs. Consequently' tl1e hanquet was a howling success, and a numher of the late arrivals co11ld not get tickets. ln addition to this, the Allllllfll give a prize of twenty'-five dollars to the valcdictorian of tl1e Senior Class. The greatest pleas11re of this Association is to glance over its lists and mark the s11ccesses attained hy its memhers. The firm fflllllllilflflll which they have received at Tech has helped them in many' ways. Those who have entered into husiness have heen greatly aided and reflect flllly credit 11pon the school and its instr11ctors. Those wl1o have entered college a11d other institutions l1ave soon proved to themselves and everyone else fllilf tl1e ffllllltlilflllll they received at Tech was firm and strong, ahle to withstand any strain. The different victories, whether in scholastics or atl1letics have resulted from the hearty' cofoperation of mind and hody. There are memhers of the Alumni who have starred in athletics in different colleges and through their help these institutions have heen ahle to climh to the top of the pile. These achievements are not forgotten hy tl1e other niemhers of tl1e Alllllllll, hut their interests are being followed and closely watched i11 every' respect. The graduating class of IQIS contains fellows who are interested and active in the many things concerning Tech. Now it should he the aim of each and every memher of the Association to keep these fellows active after their entrance into tl1e Association. XVe. flll' class of IQIS, praise in the highest degree tl1e Association which has such good principles as the present one. and will do everything in o11r power to flIl'fllCl' any move that tl1is As- sociation makes.
