Nungcsser Puts Wreatli on Akron Flier's Grave By PAUL CAMPBELL s'Salute to ze comrade! With this simple tribute fervently ut' tered, Capt. Charles Nungesser, French war ace, placed a wreath on the grave of Harold A. Kullberg, American ace, at Glendale Cemetery, Saturday afternoon. All pomp was dispensed with: there was no air of glamour in the deed, but it conf jurediup memories of valorous deeds per' formed on the battlefields of France by this unassuming soldier of the air and his sleeping comrade, who was killed in an accident last August at Stow field, when his plane, in which he was instructing .1 student flyer, crashed 2,000 feet to the ground. SPEAKER AT RECEPTION Captain Nungesser came to Akron as the guest of Akron automobile and radio dealers and was the principal speaker at a luncheon at the Elks' Club. Cne could easily imagine that the rigors of war had left their mark on him, for even -'ltr f nerves of steel could hardly remain steady after the experiences of the French ace in the World War. Captain Nungesser is conceded to be the world's greatest war ace. He was credited with bringing down 105 German planes. The records do not tell the exact number of engagements in which heparticipated with enemy planes, but it is easily estimated that the number would exceed 200. He has a war record of 8,000 flying hours and has been decorated by every government which took part in the allied cause. A piece of shell tore away the lower part of his jaw, but he had it rebuilt, Even a glass jaw cannot efface the winning smile which he occasionally displays. If Captain Nungesser knows or believes he is a hero, he gave no indication of it. He would not tell of his record. His conversaf tion was limited almost exclusively to apologizing for his limited knowledge of English and answering pointfblank ques' tions. ' jeu-- msn . ..- .n u .ummm THE TEKTON At the grave of the American ace, he made a striking Hgure in his gray uniform and decorations. Wisps of his sandy hair blew in the breeze, and his steel gray eyes softened as he stood at attention. 14 PLANES KULLBERG,S RECORD Here also was an ace. Harold Kullberg had claimed Akron as his home and Akron buried him with fitting honors last August. As a member of the Royal Flying Corps of the British Air Forces, Kullberg brought down 14 German planes. He en' tered the World War before America did, and thus did not fly under American colors. Memory harkened back to the days of Lafayette as the French ace stood beside his American brother's grave and solemnly said: Salute to ze Comrade! -By permisf sion Akron COhioj Szmday Times. A TRYING EXPERIENCE By CHARLES G. MELLEN, A. C. 2 Every person of working age can rememf ber working on some job of which he has pleasant or unpleasant memories. Often, when the home work is half done and I begin to feel as if studying is an awful grind, my thoughts turn back to what was the hardest assignment of my life. It happened during that period of unrest which preceded the world war, while I was serving on the U. S. S. Ohio. The ship had been at sea for some weeks, when the word was passed that we were to go into the harbor and take on coal from some lighters. The ship arrived in the harbor about four P. M., and everyone who could handle a shovel was given one, and we started unloading fourteen hundred tons of coal. Cnefhalf of the crew were on the barges and the other half stowed it away in the bunkers of the ship. Handling coal at sea under good conditions is trying, but add the combination of pouring rain and a choppy sea, and the task is incomparably worse. We stayed on the job until eleven P. M., when the rain was so bad that retreat was sounded, and work was called off for what we thought was the rest of the night. Many of us proceeded to bathe and to wash our clothes, planning to begin work fresh again in the morning. Imagine my surprise after a half hour to hear the bugle blow and word passed to proceed with the loading. The rain had let up and the boys who had bathed had the task of getting into fresh clothes-to shovel coal until three in the morning. However, that was not the end of the night's work. The bulletin board orders were that the Steaming Watch was to go on duty as usual at Hve,A. M. I was on steaming watch that morning, and it is needless to say there was not much inducement to unlash a hammock for the one hour's sleep that was to be mine. How I managed to wake up after a few minutes' sleep I can't imagine, but I did and at five A. M. reported in the engine room for work. , The reader of this experience of a gob would be justihed in concluding that I remember this black, rainy night because of the unpleasant features connected with itg but it is just such trying problems and my own successful mastery of them that make me look back upon my four years of service in the United States Navy with pleasure. Those four years taught me how to carry on in all life's challenging situations. Ding: uWhat did your wife say when you got home last night? Dong: She never said a word. And I was going to have those two front teeth pulled, anyway. -'wtf 7 154441, f-'MSI --as ucF.w'-,9Xgz.fmn- f f H f.i1w'a THE TEKTON THE VJACHUSETT DAM AND I RESERVOIR In the year 1892, Boston found that its sources of water supply were not adequate to meet the demands. The other municif palities located in the district known as the Metropolitan District also felt the need of greater water resources. Accordingly, they decided to place the matter in the hands of the State. ' .,..4nr..l In 1893 a hill was introduced into the legislature, directing the State Board of Health to investigate the matter and make a report of existing conditions not later than January, 1895. The Board of Health immediately took up the matter, and after careful consideration of the possible sources of supply, which included Lake Winnipesaukee, N. H., the Merrimac River, and the south branch of the Nashua River, recommended the taking of the waters of the south branch of the Nashua River. The water was to be taken from a point just above the Lancaster Mills in Clinton, Massachusetts. An act, namely the Metropolitan Water Act, approved June 5, 1895, provided that the Governor appoint three water commisf sioners, to be called the Metropolitan Water Board, and that this board should construct a Water Works system as recomf mended by the Board of Health. To helcv meet the expenses of this project, bonds were to be issued to an amount not exceedf ing 327,000,000 This act made provision not only for the payment for land and property taken, but also for the payment for loss of water power and indirect dam- age to property not taken by the board. The reservoir itself extends in a southf westerly direction from the dam at Clinton and lies in the towns of Boylston, West Boylston, Sterling, and Clinton. It has a water area of 6.46 square miles. The length is 8.41 miles, its maximum width is 2.05 miles, the maximum depth is 129 feet, and the average depth' is 46 feet. The total length of shore line is 37 miles. In constructing the reservoir, soil was stripped from 3943 acres of submerged area to the average depth of one foot, or the total quantity of soil removed was approximately 6,900,000 cubic yards. To accomplish this the contractor laid 27 miles of 3ffoot narrow gauge railway track and used 35 eight to sixteenfton locomotives, and 735 gondola cars having from 1.75 to 3.5 cubic yards capacity. The construction of this reservoir ref quired the removal of six large mills, four churches, about 360 dwelling houses occuf pied by 1700 people, and the transferring of 3000 bodies from a large Catholic cemef tery. Approximately 19.25 miles of road were discontinued and 11.8 miles of new road were built to replace those disconf tinued. The Massachusetts Central Rail' way, which ran for 6.5 miles through the reservoir, was relocated. In relocating the tracks, 4.5 miles of new rail were laid and a huge viaduct 917 feet long, having a maxi' mum height of 133 feet, was built across the valley of the river in front of the dam. A rock tunnel 1110 feet long, and a rock cut 1500 feet long, having a maximum --mf 8 ya- mana mf:-Lwgcian nam THE TEKTON depth of 56 feet, was cut at the end of the viaduct. The Wacliiisett dam was built across the Nashua River in the town of Clinton, Mass. The main dam was constructed of granite rubble masonry, quarried in Boylf ston, faced with granite ashlar, quarried in Chelmsford. Excavation for the dam began in 1900, the dam was completed in 1906. The dam was 944 feet long, and 25 feet thick at the high water level. The maxi' mum height of the dam is 207 feet, and the maximum thickness of the base, below the ground surface, is 185 feet. The top of the dam is 114 feet above the finished ground level. In the construction of the dam 280,000 cubic yards of masonry were used. Cn the north and southeast shores of the reservoir the land was lower than the high water level, so the engineers erected dikes to keep the water from flooding the low lands. The area of watershed of this project is 118.19 square miles. When the reservoir is at high water level, it has a capacity of 64,f 968,000,000 gallons of water. There are 7.71 square miles of marginal land around the reservoir, planted along the lines of modern forestry. The water from this reservoir is used to generate electricity, and it was the domesf tic water supply to be used for this purf pose. The dam completed cost 59,892,000 and was at that time the largest project of its kind. At the base of the dam there is a power plant, and approximately 9,000,000 gallons of water pass through the wheels of the turbines during their elevenfhour working day. A visit to these works would well repay one for the time expended. The power plant is always open for inspection, and is of especial interest to the mechanically inclined. -By CLEM, ...Wi 9 HUNTINGTON AVENUE Huntington Avenue, Boston, extends from Copley Square to the Brookline line, and received that name about 1864. It was laid out from Copley Square to Camden, now Cainsboro Street, November 1, 1875 g extended from Camden Street to Parker Street, May 24, 1881, from Parker Street to Tremont Street, December 29, 1882: and from Francis Street to the Brookline line, formerly a part of Tremont Street, was included january 5, 1895. The wife and daughter of Lieutenant Berry were halted by a sentry on duty, who had orders to allow no one to enter by that gate. Sorry, but you will have to go around to the main gate.

To date they have received a very small amount, as you may readily see when you read this page. However, it is never too late to send in your news items, technical articles or the like, as whatever you may send in can be used in one of the succeeding issues, and thus help to make THE TEKTON more inf teresting to the Alumni as they read it. Do not lose sight of the fact that if THE TEKTON is to be the oiiicial bulletin of the Alumni Association, its members must get behind their Editors and feed the ammunif tion to them in order that the results ob' tained on their target, The Alumni Notes, shall register 10024, efficiency. To date the Sustaining Membership of the Association amounts to about 500, which is far below the 1923f24 record. The Alumni Secretary reports that in or' der to keep abreast with the membership of previous years the total membership should be at least 600. There is still six months to go over the top. Let's go! Each one get at least one new member bc' tween now and December 31. There will be at least four issues this year for your membership dues amounting to 51.50 per year. How would you like An Alumni Issue next fall? This can be made pos' sible only through the hearty support and cofoperation of all members of the Alumni Association, especially the Sustaining Menibership. The Alumni Secretary, G. A. Pierce, '13, has received a few very interesting letf ters from the Alumni located in various parts of the country, and below he gives some statements taken from these letters which show how much TIAIE TEKTON means to these writers. E. C. '20 grad, living in Walpole, Mass., writes I assure you that l iind THE TEKTON alone worth the price due to its articles on technical subjects. An E. C. '22 man, located in Brooklyn, N. Y., says: -and I shall welcome the first issue of this year's TEKTON. THE TEKTON supplies the only means of keeping in touch with the activities of the Institute. Also, another E. C. grad in Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: Hoping that the paper proves as interesting as it has been in the past, -I remain. An S. E3 E. P. P. '20 man writes from Port Arthur, Texas, that through THL TEKTON is the only way he can keep in touch with Weiitworth doings, and re' news his Sustaining Membership at once. 10 :l'P41'4- ?!K9l-f----4- .H -W in-if - 3QK'5 THE TEKTON Stop!

I., for the purpose of visiting the plant of Brown E3 Sharpe. The trip was made by autof mobile. The classes left Wentworth at nine o'clock and arrived in Providence at eleven' thirty. After lunch, the members of the party assembled in the main office of the plant and were given a very cordial recepf tion by Mr. Dixon. The group was then divided into four units and a guide asf signed to each unit. A very profitable three hours were spent in the plant and the Wentworth boys gained much valuable information ref garding pattern work, foundry, and ma' chine construction. - www.-.-.1 .- A CLASS MEETING The Printing Class held a class meeting recently. Mr. Strickland was unanimously elected to succeed Robert Kendall as Class Athletic Manager. Many of our boys are doing after school work in print shops, most of them ref ceived their positions through the employ' ment ofhce conducted by Mr. Crew. Some of our boys saw Wm. Hanney pushing a baby carriage up Somerset Street after school hours. Maybe he pref fers a change of work to printing. C. Anderson has secured a position for the summer at a hotel in Ugunquit, Me., printing menus.

Editor The following are the reports of lectures since the last issue of THE TEKTON, given by the Boston Typothetae Board of Printf ing Trade members to our students at Wentworth Institute: March 11, 1925. Mr. Henry L. john' son, of Boston University. Subject: Paper Dummy Making. Mr. Johnson told us in his lecture that no handfmade paper is now being manuf factured in the United States, although it is being used in the United States. He also brought to our attention that if the grain in the paper that is used in a book, or pamphlet, or similar work, does not run the right way it does not last so long, and will wrinkle and buckle up. The right way for the grain to run is in the same direction as that of the binding. An article of interest which was brought to the students' attention was the way books are sewed, the particular one he used in demonstration being the saddlefsewed book. Mr. Johnson recited the definition of a craftsman he had remembered. It is of interest to us, and goes as follows: THE CRAFTSM AN A heart to resolve, A head to contrive, A hand to execute. April 2, 1925. Mr. Frank P. Stiles, of tlie Stetson Press. Subject: lniposition. One of the many interesting facts brought out by Mr. Stiles is the correct way to lock up your forms when they are on the stone. He stated that it is the duty of the compositor to see that the pages are spaced and locked up properly. It is, how' ever, finally the duty of the lockfup man. A compositor should take great pride in seeing that any job he sets will lock up tight. April 9, 1925. Nlr. Tounie, of tlie Barta Press, Cambridge. Subject: Funclaf mentals of Printing and Tliorougliness in 'Your Work. Mr. Younie informed us that there is a wide difference between composition and typography. Many of us would become typographers, it would be nice if we all could be, but that was next to impossible. Typography is the great thing of today, which includes the even spacing of lines, words, and similar things. Mr. Younie said in conclusion that, above all things, your mind should always be open for new ideas. April 16, 1925. Mr. john C. Hurd, of tlie Storrs and Bement Company. Subject: Paper, a Continuation of Previous Lecture. Mr. Hurd stated that the coated paper is used for the printing of half tones. He in-' formed us that some of the glossy coated paper is made to be attractive, so a high shine is produced on it. Many people judge the paper by the gloss, that is, they think the more gloss, the better the paper. This, after a certain extent, is not so, as the paper becomes hard and difficult to print upon. These lectures are held every Thursday morning at 10 A. M. in Room 8, with the cofoperation of the Boston Typothetm Board of Trade. April 23, 1925. Mr'. Stevens, of tlie Wild and Stevens Printers' Rollers Co., 4 Purchase Street, Boston, Mass. Subject: Printers' Rollers. M1'. Stevens told us that the basis of the composition used in making rollers is glue and syrup. He stated that hardly any glycerine is used, as it has a tendency to ---oz-if 16 I-ee--N 1-'xwl iin nam: THE TEKTQN attract moisture. This tends to make the roller feel greasy. V A very interesting feature of this lecture was a small cylinder with six hollow round holes in it. He showed us how these are filled with the composition, and the rollers are made. He reminded us that rollers are one of the cheapest of materials used in the printf ing industry. The better the roller, the bet! ter the printing, and as they are so reason' able it is well to be supplied with new ones. April 30, 1925. Mi'. Cecil H. Wi'iglitf son, 74 India Street, Boston, Mass. Sub' ject: Liiiotypes. Mr. Wrightson described the operation of the Linotype machine and showed us the advantage it has over hand set type. It is not very easily pied and is much faster than hand composition. A very interesting fact was brought up by one of the boys. He had heard about the Ludlow machine, but did not understand how it worked. Mr. Wrightson informed us that it is used to make headings and such work that is in large type. It does not in any way look like the Linotype machine. May 7, 1925. Mi'. Wilbur, President of the Tudor Press. Subject: Oyjfset Litliof grapliy. Mr. Wilbur described the process of Lithographic Printing and the materials that are used in that art. He showed us a picture that was lithof graphed and done in eight colors. Each tint used was printed separately, so that we could see how each new color added, improved the picture until the final effect was produced. The students were much impressed with Mr. WilDLlflS fine lecture May 14, 1925. A. C. Gatcliel, of A. C. Gatchel 59 Son, Law Printers, 74 India Street. Mr. Gatchel gave a very interesting talk on Law Printing and the procedure of the court when trying cases. May 21, 1925. G. Gelirnan Taylor, of tlie Perry Esterbrook Press, Cambridge. Advice to boys entering the trade. May 28, 1925. Mr. George Taylor, President of the Boston Typothatae Board of Trade gave an irispiriiig address to the graduating class. 1 W EN1'woll'l'll T SHIPWRECKS By ARTHUR SOMERS ROCHE My baby took a walnut shell, And in it stepped a sail, A twig that bore a tiny leaf- Ah, but the craft is frail!

C. l, At the close of indoor practice season, early in April, Coach Karlson called out the candidates for the entire team. Durf ing the first week, between fifty and sixty men were on the athletic field each after' noon. There was an abundance of matef rial for both the infield and outneld and also for the backstop berth. The number of candidates reporting for the pitcherls position was a bit disappointing to the coach. However, by the second week in April, after the first cut had been made, it began to look like a prosperous season. The preliminary practice sessions proved very beneficial, due to the fact that twice a week the Wentworth boys were lined up against the Boston University varsity team, which used our field for daily pracf tice. THE TEAM At the present writing, the team makef up is as follows: As backstop, Drummond of the E. C. 2nd, has played ine baseball throughout the season. He seems to have a good whip and watches his game with the alertness of an old leaguer. In the box, Salstrom of the A. C. 2nd, has done most of the twirling, having pitched a fine game at Andover. Cn the pitching staff we also have Banagan of the A. C. 2, Skinner of Fay of the PatternfMaking course, Wal' dron of the Foundry group, and Perkins of the M. W. class. English High star, is first sack in splendid fashion. Lord, the captain of next year's basketball team, is playing at second base. The positions at shortstop and third have given the coach more or less worry, and to date no stable combination has been settled upon. At short, he has tried McLean of the A. C. 2, Adams of the S. E3 E. 2, Beach of the E. C. 2, and nnally White of the E. C. 1. The most of this combination who have played at short stop, have played at least one gameat third, but the position seems to be Hlled now by Pierce of the E. C. 1. Captain joe Cdlum is taking care of the right iield, while McLean, Beach and Adams have all played in the center posif tion. Left field has been taken care of by Pierce, Salstrom and Skinner. We have enjoyed watching the splendid, business' like manner in which the manager, Wil' liam Watson of the M. C. 2, has handled the team and credit is due to Cashman of the S. E3 E., and Dodge of the C. Er? B. for their splendid spirit of cofoperation as assistants to Mr. Watson.

BECKER Collecting autographs is a fascinating hobby, if only for the reason that it gives us anew standard for judging our fellow men. Without doubt, an autograph does carry with it something of the personality . BETTY BRONSON of its author, and in collecting them we gather around us an interesting group of men and women. There is a popular misconception about autograph collecting which considers it to be the infantile practice of taking a blank book marked L'Autographs and asking people to write their names in it. Such is the way of the high school girl, but not of the collector of autographs. Nor is it autograph collecting to take a letter and clip the signature. This is destroying rather than collecting. It is the aim of the collector if possible to secure an entire letter, note, or piece of writing, in the handwriting of the author, signed with his or her name. This is then known as an A. S. L. fautograph signed letterl or an A. S, N. Qautograph signed notej. Usually typewritten letters are of little value, as they may be only the thoughts of the secretary put on paper and then handed to the signer fora signature. Une very important thing in autograph collecting, and there are many, is to make your letter of request carry a distinct appealg make it a personal letter, to that person you are writing to. Never use a form letter, for it is soon recognized as such by the persons addressed, with the result that they feel their letters and signatures are being commercialized rather than being MAE MURRAY placed in some collectiong and as a consef quence, such requests are either ignored or refused. There are many ways of making a letter personal and appealing. It all . .M 20 yt. frm: insrrfqossrgvi new THE TEKTON depends on the person that is being ad' dressed. Perhaps the most difficult people to address personally are the motion pic' ture stars, for the eyes of the nation are upon them and they receive countless ufanl' letters. Fan letters mean an increased mail, and this necessitates secretaries to handle it, and where there are secretaries present, it is still more difficult for the poor autograph collector to get his letter by. But it can be done, for here is only one of many letters to show this. I addressed a letter to one of the best known and most popular stars of the screen, Anna Nilsson, and this is the reply which I received. My dear Mr. Becker, Thanksfor your letter, also for your suggestion as to fan mail. Don't think it would work out for this reason, that fans ANNA Q, NILSSON send their letters to the different studios whose pictures they saw you last in, which in my case means I get letters through every studio out here, as I do practically all my work here in Hollywood. Personally, even tho I have a secretary to send out fan pictures, I do take a keen interest in my mail and answer quite a few of the more interesting ones myself. It is really a picture actor's or actress's only way of knowing and keeping in touch with the public and its interests. What a lot I would miss if I had the mail done by some' one I could not be in contact with. No, the photograph I sent you was not the usual fan photo. Your letter was one of the ones attended to by me personally. Thanks for liking it. Speaking of letters, I wish that you could read some of the ones I get. Those from young girls, asking my advice about one thing or another, confidf ing their joys and sorrows to me. I some' times feel a hundred years old when I sit down and answer their letters. I really feel a great responsibility, as I know they are reading my letters and perhaps following my advice. Don't just know why I am writing all this to you, especially as I am tired out tonight and should be in bed, except perhaps to impress you with the fact that fan mail, if you answer it at all and are not thoughtless about it, is not so easily disposed of. No more. Thanks again for your interest, and do excuse errors and carelessness in this hastily written letter, but as I said before, I am dead tired. Sincerely yours, fSignedj Anna Nilsson. This shows what I mean when I say a letter must have an appeal. Very often some other means may be used to accom' plish results. I addressed a letter to Colleen Moore and because of the newly inaug' urated air mail service, used it to dispatch that letter to her.The newspapers carried items to the effect that I had done so and was the first one to have done it. -+14I2114 - nw lG' 'aI mn THE TEKTON Another important thing in autograph collecting is to enclose postage, for well' known people carry an enormous postage bill. A letter to Ed Wynn, the popular stage comedian recently seen in the musical show hit, The Grab Bag and last season in The Perfect Fool, brought the follow' ing autographed poem- You ask me for my autograph, And I pay for the letter, If you'd enclose a stamp each time, I'm sure that you'd fare better. Ed Wynn. As a gentle touch of humor, a postage stamp was immediately sent to Mr. Wynn, with my thanks for his kind suggestion and for sending his autograph. Sometimes letters, requests, and all other known methods will fail to bring results. I addressed the King of England recently, requesting an autograph, and in answer received a printed form stating that it is the rule of the royal house not to present the autograph of His Majesty to anyone not personally acquainted with the King. Nothing daunted, I enlisted the aid of my friend, Mayor Curley of Boston, who Very kindly addressed a letter in my behalf to the King. At the same time I had asked the aid of Sir Robert Gray, the British Consul, who gave me valuable suggestions, and the Ambassador in England, Frank B. Kellogg, now in the President's Cabinet, But with all this assistance, I was still not successful in obtaining the autograph of George V of England. Not only must the request for an auto' graph bemade, but upon its receipt, there must be a proper acknowledgement sent to the sender. Very often this acknowledge' ment brings forth an unexpected a. s. l. such as that received from Queenie Smith, star of the musical show, Be Yourself, Dear Mr. Becker, just to thank you for the very kind acknowledgement of my photograph and in answer to your most thoughtful interest regarding the play's booking for Boston. Regret to say that it is still indefinite, due to the fact that it will depend upon the length of time we run in N. Y. Sincerely yours, Queenie Smith. Acknowledgements and thanks for auto' graphs and photographs strengthens the good will toward the collector and results in requests being granted more readily. Reproduced herewith are a number of autographs taken from my collection at random, and shows what a wide range of types of people are represented in it. Each one of these autographs has come directly from the author to me. .

The subject I find the most difficulty in understanding, and the one I am making the least progress in, while attending Wentworth Institute, is that branch of science called mechanics. Possibly the explanation of my inability to conquer this subject lies in the fact that I have had very little technical training, and have, more or less, during my earthly pilgrimage, neglected to broaden my math' ematical faculty. Going into personalities, another mem' ber of the family and I were born with an artistic bump, so to speak, the former being allowed to continue in the develop' ment of her artistic talents. I, being the only son of the family, was prevailed upon by a benevolent father to pursue a practif cal course. Unfortunately, the aforesaid parent does not realize what an exceedingly difficult undertaking it is to change a Bohemian into a practical man of affairs. In the study of character reading, there is a type called the muscular, into which category I should be placed. A member of this type, so it is said, should follow no course, but the one he is interested in, otherwise he will not be successful. Because one cannot go through the steps of reasoning required to solve a problem in mathematics, and can only make an attracf tive free hand sketch, does not necessarf ily signify that one is void of all reasoning powers. No! Emphatically no, for every touch of the pencil or brush, if the artist be skilful, is the outward expression of a highly trained mind and sensitive imaginaf tion. In conclusion I might add that any phrenologist's contention is that in the hu' man brain there are more cells of one kind than there are of others. For instance, an artist has, as a rule, more artistic cells, if the writer may put it that way, than he has of any other kind, and for the mathef matician, vicefversa. The artist is able to visualize one kind of picture and execute this truthfully and the mathematician an' other. And so it is in this argument that I find sufhcient reason to explain my lack of inf terest and inability to master the study of mechanics. fNote: This is not a euelogy on myself or a canard, but a mere conglomeration of superficial platitudes gyrating herein, void of equivocation, to enlighten the student body and my most august clique of instrucf tors, for my seemingly ignominous and un' appreciative behavior in my class rooms.

Unless our students exercise at least a little care in their work the janitor has almost an endless job in picking up behind them. To get the men to change their habits toward good housekeeping one factory put up to them the following personal appeal through the pages of the shop paper: Let's clean up! - It's a lot easier to maintain order and neatness than disorder and confusion. It's safer. It's better. You'll personally feel a lot better if things are neat and clean about you. Therefore, help to make them so. Next time you feel tempted to throw something on the floor or into some outfoff thefway corner-don't! Put it in its proper place or in a receptacle provided. You'll thereby save somebody else the trouble of picking it up. You'll help to save janitor expenses. And you'll feel a good deal freer in having your surroundings neat and clean. Let's all clean up!

V-Hi-DI w gm nam THE TEKTON BEAM TRAWLING As the firsteclass power plants were not in need of a firstfclass embryonic power plant engineer, and being a citizen of one of the greatest fishing ports in the world, I tried my luck along the waterfront. I finally got a sight on board a beam trawler. Bluffing the skipper into the fact that I was an old hand at the game was no easy task, though I had had some experience on Hshing schooners. Cn the following day we steamed out of the quaint old town bound for the fishf ing grounds, which were some three hun' dred miles away. As we nosed around the point a stiff no'wester greeted us, and a nasty swell was rolling up from the bot' tom of the shoal waters. The ship, though staunch and strong, trembled as she bent to the task of plowing through the comb' ers and did considerable pitching and roll' ing-much to my discomfort, for sea legs are not developed in a few hours. Arriving on the Banks and taking the usual soundings for depth of water and samples of the ocean bed, we prepared the net for the first drag. The net was lowered over the side with two hundred and fifty fathoms of steel cable for towing purposes. The ship steamed on for an hour and a half, then stopped her engines so that the propeller would not get tangled up in the net. The ship maneuvered in such a position as to have the net come upon her weather side, as a little rolling makes the work easier. Steam Winches took up the slack of the wire cables and willing hands pulled up the web of the net until the bag end was well over the rail. A wire stopper was made fast around the mouth of the bag, a steel crane hooked in the strap and fifteen thousand pounds of fish were hoisted on board. Yes, this beat schooner fishing, for we had pulled in seven and a half tons in ninety minutes. Une of the men had to loosen the slip knot which held the bottom of the bag, standing directly under the bag while doing so. Vxf' hen the last hitch slackecl a little he stepped aside and pulled on the free end of the rope, this released the entire mass of fish into the checkers, which were boards fore and aft and others abeam, forming pens on the deck, the purf pose of these being to keep the fish from sliding all around the deck. The net was immediately cast over again. The men stepped into the checkers to pitch what fish that were not desirable over the side, as the net drags all sorts of marine life-dog fish, cat fish, skates, star fish, sharks and others, too numerous to mention-from the ocean bed. On one occasion I remember seeing a yellow object slide out of the bag. Being curious, I rushed in with a raised fork but halted in my tracks, for I beheld one who had given his all in the toil of the deep. Clothed in his oil skins, two heavy sweat' ers beneath them, heavy socks, and mitts, he had evidently lost his life the preceding winter. The body was sewed up in can' vas, weighed down with a couple of hunf dred odd pounds of ballast and placed on a hatch cover, draped with the Canadian colors which were tacked down at one end. After the skipper read a line or two from the Bible, the body was borne to the rail by the twelve fishermen. The engine stopped and as the ship coasted silently on, the body was allowed to slide off the hatch into the sea. An unknown into the great unknown far off the Banks on the rocky bottom where no good fisherman would cast his trawls. The crew, rough and rugged men, gazed silently on, thinking that some day that fate might be their own. +5 26 141-- OLLDI - u aero- THE TEKTON They lowered him down in the salt, sharp sea where all good seamen go. In an hour we were back on the Banks, and as the fish were coming in fast, it was necessary to keep both watches on deck. A watch consisted of six men, two men ripped the fish with keenfedged knives, while three more removed the entrails-a fisherman expresses the facts more simply -while another iced the fish in the hold. For sixty hours both watches remained on deck without relief-allowing only time for meals. When any members fell asleep, they were so dead to the world that they could be awakened only by a goodfnatured prod in the ribs. The ship, filled with two hundred and fortyfodd thousand pounds of fish, heavily nosed her way into Gloucester harbor. Cver one hundred and twenty tons of fish in ten days was our record. And by this trip I was formally initiated into the order of The Old Salts-the men who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great watersf, ' Students who are graduating in June will be especially interested in the follow' ing list of questions sent out by the West' inghouse Electric EG?

The vessel goes best when it is loaded to this line. If overloaded, or if not loaded enough, it is in danger of floundering or becoming less stable. It is equally imporf tant for an individual to know how much responsibility he can carry, in other words, at what water line he can sail best. If he has too many responsibilities, he is likely to flounder, and if not enough, he may become unstable. A man should not take on too many responsibilities, and he should not have too few. All life is a balance, and it is important for every person to learn just how much load he can carry, and how little. T WVENTVVDXTTH 1 WHY PEOPLE READ THE SPORT PAGE Why do so many people turn first of all to the sport page of a newspaper? One reason that has been advanced is that this page is largely a record of vicf tories, while the other pages of the news' paper, which tell of politics, crimes, divorces, etc., is more or less a record of failures. People like to read about success, not of failure, and as long as they do so they will be interested in any form of success, even if it is in a prize ring or on the foot' ball field.

III A cheerful nature has she, For she is as happy as can be, Hardly ever does she cry, When you look her in the eye. IV Her eyes are like the heaven, Her cheeks are like the rose, Her lips are like the bright red setting, Of the beautiful evening sun. V Her smile is like the sunshine, That never seems to wane, For she has the disposition, Of a cheerful pretty babe. VI To no one is she a bother, For so says her mother, That whenever she is playing, In her lying or sitting position, You wonder where she got, Her cheerful disposition.

VAN AMBURGH The old philosopher Phocylides wrote: To do a kindness to a bad man is like sowing your seed in the sea. Old Phocylides was a grouch in the head and had gout of the heart. Kindness, like grain, increases by sowf ing, but only a fool would throw a seed in the sea. Radium sells on a basis of fI5200,000,000 a pound, but one little act of kindness, costing no great effort, no money, and only a moment of time, is often of greater help to humans than a handful of radium. The reason for the high cost of radium is its comparative scarcity. The real reason for the unusual appreciation of kindness is largely due to a lack of sufficient producf tion to lower its value on the open market. If everyone were always kind and conf siderate, kindness would be as common as the small stones on a gravel road. Kindness is not a common practice. We all mean to be kind, but our good intenf tions often prove to be the stuff they pave the streets with down in that prison where Satan is warden. TIME Time is the stuff that life is made of. The prisoner serves timefi The butterfly' type seeks to kill time. The peanut polif tician in public office is a time server. XVasting time is an indictment that may be held true of all people. The efficiency men have translated wasted motion into terms of lost hours of labor and have proven the fact of staggering losses reckf oned in dollars and cents at prevailing wages. For time is the most valuable possession of humanity. Precious indeed are the 24 hours allotted to every individual every day. Some by their folly telescope the days, burning the candle at both ends. Others forget the past with its worries and let the morrow wait with its own anxieties. Suffif cient for the day is the evil thereof. It is a blessing that time comes to us in sections of one day. Think what this means to the sick and the suffering, to those who are hopeless, to those who crave the op' portunity of a new start. The sunset seems to gather into its shadows the cares of the day. The dawn comes again with bright' ness to brighten the heart and quicken the step of man. This is the daily miracle, and of it Arnold Bennett writes true words: L'You wake up in the morning and your purse is magically filled with 24 hours of the manufactured tissue of the universe of your life. Waste your innnitely precious commodity as much as you will, and the supply will never be withheld from you. You cannot draw on the future. It is im' possible to get into debt. You can only waste the passing moment. There are two days never to worry about. Yesterday because it is past. And tomorrow, because it is yet to come. Every day is a fresh beginning, every day is the world made new. PRINTING DEPARTMENT Through the courtesy of the S. D.

A man reaches the prime of life at 27 years. But even then his hearing is on the downfgrade, as that sense is more acute at seven or eight years. Such is the belief of Prof. Karl Pearson. A few years ago Dr. Eugene Lyman Fiske expressed his opinion that our bodies begin wearing out at the age of 12. So authorities disagree. But the average man undoubtedly reaches the pinnacle of his physical pow' ers before he is 30. Thereafter he slowly deteriorates. His health may be good. But the endurance of youth is on the wane. Old age really begins in the cradle. That is, our care and environment in infancy determine, to a considerable extent, the number of years of strength and health will be available to us before we begin to go down hill physically. Yet despite all we can do, the summer of life is brief. In his early thirties a man begins to realize instinctively that he canf' not stand exposure and strain as he could in his teens and twenties. Cf men between the ages of 21 and 31 who were called up under the Selective Service Act, 38 in every 100 were rejected on account of physical defects. Qld age- deterioration, which is the forerunner of physical dissolution-had sunk its talons into them. However, man is in the late autumn or winter of physical condition before he reaches the summertime of mental devel' opment. It is a rare man who has any pronounced degree of wisdom and good judgment be' fore he is 35 or 40. In this way nature compensates us. As our physical powers weaken, our intellect' ual powers strengthen. But only up to certain point. Ultimately comes senility, when mental faculties lose their powers and brilliance. . Lightfheartedly man squanders the best part of his life. Qld age begins to overtake him usually before he really gets down to business. Small wonder, so few reach the top of the hill of success. For youth, while it may work hard, rarely exerts itself to the limits of its powers. The years that are wasted are the most important of all. . 7 ' WliNTWOIi'I'Il +- THE OLDER WORKMAN By EDGAR A. GuEsT Brave boy, be not discouraged at the start, For fame and fortune are the gifts of years, The product of long periods of smart, Of cruel disappointment and its tears. You see success and all you hope to be Combined to grace the pathway of a man, And you are keen to stand as high as he, But he was young, like you, when he began. You envy him the skill which he has earned, And all he owns you would possess today1 But there is much by youth which must be learned, For you, his goal lies twenty years away! Vxfork hard, nor waste in envy, fleeting time, The older workman has the greater skill, The mountain, eager twenty cannot climb, The wiser man at forty surely will. Think not that you should come to fame today, It is too soon. There is no youth alive Vsfho by a single sweep can brush away The years which wait to make fortyffive. Those who have reached the goal which you desire Have suffered much and 'battled down the way, ' If you can cross those years and never tire At their age you can be as great' as they. -at 32 pw- muon neF ci:m-4 umm THE TEKTON QUOTE FROM NEWSPAPER According to the records kept by the librarian, the ten most popular books in the school library are: james Davis-The Iron Puddler. Harry M, Franck-A Vagabond Jour' ney Around the World. Mark Twain-Life on the Mississippi. Rudyard Kipling-The Light That Failed. B. T. Washington-Up From Slavery. Michael Pupin-From Immigrant to Inf ventor. R. Sabatini-Scaramouche. Edward Bok-The Americanization of Edward Bok. Life of Westinghouse. Dr. Wilfred Grenfell-Autobiography of a Labrador Doctor. It is the librarian's observation that the two busiest men in school, who are also outstanding scholars, have read the most books. They have felt the thrill and stimf ulus of great life stories, as Professor Ver' non suggests. The theme of Professor Vernon's lec' ture might well have been that old provf erb: Tell me what you read, and I will tell you what you are. That biography is an important adjunct to religion because it emphasizes the great' ness of the human soul was recently pointed out by Prof. Ambrose W. Vernon of Dartmouth. He stated that the tendency of modern science has been to minimize the signin' cance of humanity, and added: Astronomy swallows us up in immeasf urable space. Geology, with its unimaginf able aeons, belittles the insignificant gener' ations of men. Amid the austerities of physics and the intricacies of chemistry we wonder how we could have been interested in watching 'the clock beat out the little lives of menf Nor does one's scorn of his humanity gain much relief from biology, the liaison department between things and men. Evolution, its fundamental tenet, subordinates individuals to streams of tendf ency. Individuals turn into curious prof tuberances in which the untiring forces knot themselves in a necessary lassitude be' fore they push further in their endless course. Even psychology treats us as inf stances rather than individuals. The study of biography is important in offseting this attitude and in refenforcing religion, because it nxes men's minds on the unique greatness of the human soulg because it points out that the progress of the world has in large part depended upon the energy and insight of individual souls, because it demonstrates that the great movf ers of the world have been preponderantly religious men, because, as it enables us rev' erently to enter into their company, it ref produces in us the religious experience, because it convinces us that it is the prof gressive and independent among the religf ious men who have had the most inspiring influence, and because it leaves us awaiting and expectant of further and more inevit' able triumphs of the divine spirit in the hearts of men.

It ref quired an hour's exposure. If more of us could find it possible to give up an evening hour or two during the winter we might learn a bit concerning a most interesting, and perhaps the most useful, work the Institute is doing for men in industry. During the year past we had an evening school of 1012 men, by far the great majority of whom were studying along lines connected with their daily work. These are just such men as you will be after a few years on the job. Since we have no Evening School Alumni Associaf tion that school says very little collectively. They say a good deal individually, and that is usually very much to the point. They like our coursesand method of instruction. Their very good attendance records show it if they themselves say nothing. The comf ments of several hundreds of men yearly almost universally favorable lead us to believe that they are pleased with their work. When any course in a school can accommodate only a third of the men applying for it, the content and method of that course must perforce be what students of the subject are looking for. That is the situation in many of our Evening School courses. It would be interesting to compute the average number of year's attendance of evening school men. Nothing of the kind has been done in our evening school, but we know of several men who have attended for six consecutive years. When you conf sider that this has been done often amid the difficulties of loss of a job, with several small mouths to feed perhaps, and with the sickness, which besets us all at times, to contend with you will come to respect the character of our evening school men which prompts them to improve their minds and skills under such handicaps. Very few of us realize the effect of the evening school grind. After February lst it seems to get you, and with the bad weather of that month and March we usually lose a large number of evening school students. This year there has been practically none of that falling by the way, -+Ni341'+ cnug-Ja f-BC?H!XE!fT'D0 -l'f'3ffL'3 THE TEKTCN but an exceedingly large percentage of the 1012 students have completed the year's work. The favorable weather has helped greatly in this result throughout our even' ing school session. Men are coming from as far as Worcesf ter to attend the Evening School. Uur radius is quite as large as that of the day school. We have had men move to Boston from as far as Chicago to attend our par' ticular classes. We are proud of the kind of men we have in the evening school and you, as loyal alumni of the Institute, will be as proud as we are. If you're working near Boston next. year come in and see us during an evening school session. We'll be glad to see you again and we may be able to help you in making good on your job. You'll have to work overtime if you expect to progress. '? WHN'l'W1JH'1'II 1 THE CLASS PRCPHECY Vv'hile in Boston, in the year 1935, I attended a meeting of the Master Plumbers Association. Whom should I meet but Graves, Murphy, and Osborne, and learned from them that our class president, Ed. Hallinan, is now president of the associaf tion. just as the meeting was about over, one member of our class, MacNeill, got up and presented two rules for the plumbers to use while working: First-No profane language. Second-No immodest stories. Both rules were tabled until the next meeting. The next day I thought I would take a ride around to see if I could run across any more members of the class. In Lexington I read a big sign, Samuel Dickerman, Largest Poultry Raiser in New England. While changing a tire, just before reaching Peabody, I heard two men say, Have Skinner figure your job and get 'skun'-have Durkee figure it and get a square deal. j When in Lawrence I noticed that all the music stores were displaying copies of the latest song hit, entitled 'LMy Alice - Music and words by Leo Bergeron. In Haverhill, where several new apartf ment houses were being built, I read this sign, Plumbing and Heating Installed by Maroneyf' Continuing on my journey I finally reached the big town of Laconia, N. H. The buildings of the town were gaily decorated and the people were having a parade. In answer to my questions as to the reasons for the celebration, I learned that it was for none other than our classmate, Everett Lord! He had just completed a new invention for the Laconia Car Co.- to use hot air pipes in the back of the seats to keep the passengers warm in the winter, and run cold water through the pipes to keep them cool in the summer. Cn returning to Massachusetts, the next town of importance that I visited was Ware. There I saw a huge illuminated sign which read David Rohan-Sanitary Engineer. Going toward the Cape-in New Bed' ford-I passed a large truck belonging to The Ray Wilcox Co. That name seemed familiar to me and on stopping to speak to the driver I learned that he was our old friend Ray! On inquiry as to who the Co might be, I was told that it was his wife and five children! ! ! At Falmouth, Tom Heffernan and Tom Lawrence had just cleaned up millions with their latest invention: a new wiping solder that will not burn the hands. They took me down to see Parolski, who is now owner of a radio station. While we were there he received an S. O. S. from -.sq 35 ja. rman -lcfngfxgcin IQDQ THE TEKTON Scarci and Griffin-aground in a boat: thc same boat they had while at school! While in Plymouth, I met Wirt, Yelf land, and Santheson, still arguing whether or not to begin at the top or bottom to put in plumbing. In Norwell, Beach told me he was trying to think of a way to lay a pipe line to the rum runners on the coast. On nearing Boston again, I passed Chefalo in a Ford being towed to a garage. It was now late in the evening, but I could not pass the Institute without going-5 in to see if our friend and instructor, Mr. Lawrence, was still working with the boys. There he was, pleasant as ever, and after a short chat with him I decided to journey on toward home.

I have only one regret: I shall not have done any real good to humanity when I retire. Many will sympathize with Ty Cobb, and yet we cannot help feeling that he undervalues his services to his day and generation. The actor, the musician, the circus performer, the baseball player, each plays an important part in the life of the world. The hours spent at a baseball game, at a concert, at a good vaudeville, at a cirf cus, at a theater, have given to thousands release from the burdens of work and worry, sweeping away cobwebs from weary brains and discouraged hearts, and has made it possible for them to go back to their appointed work with greater hope and increased vigor. The field of whole' some entertainment occupies a useful part in the work of the world. Giving of one's best to please others is the rule of success in the entertainment profession.-Masonic Outlook.
