nmol u u mmf: THE TEKTON M. EG? P. WHISPERS Please put all our news in this issue, as we had very little in the first editions. Danny Bears likes his baseball pants so well he wears them to school. Recently Mr. Brown visited our Navy Yard and while there saw the U. S. S. Chio and, as he explained it, the English cruiser C H-I C. Sideboards look very well in a dining room on a butler, but not on a bricklayer. Mr. Veno of the M. E3 P. class wishes to know who is kicking the goals for the ball team. Cotton figures that there are 240 spaces to a sq. yd. of lathes. Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Alyce Conf nolly, the balloonist of M. ff? P., nearly ascended last Monday. Lewis George would make a good George Cohen. Damon had better watch out for the State Cops. Who is it that loves the teacher so well that he brings in Mayflowers? The boys in the class didn't know what they were. Mr. Carpenter, what happened after you hung the May basket? Why these weekfend trips? Cotton and Cassidy are such good friends? First Lady: My husband has been act' ing queer lately. Second Lady: Why? What makes you think so? First Lady: Because only the other night he brought home a sewer cover to play on the Victrola. We hope Connolly has a good time this summer in his Collegian Maxwell. The M. E99 P. Class wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the Massachuf setts Charitable Association for the aid which it has given us. Mr. Jamison- Cronan, what does A. D. stand for? Cronan- After Christ. Mr. Cassidy is the Pied Piper of our class. He catches mice alive by the tail. Hair Mortar mixing is a pleasure to the M. E3 P. class when they use the medicated sand up in the M. E5 P. shop. Since Damon has his little flivver, his legs no longer have to quivver, when Mr. Bennett comes around. Here is to little Mr. Young, the tune to which so many he has sung, get off the Ashler line.-By Cotton. Did you ever notice how happy the boys are faround the nrst of the monthj. When you want to know about bow ties ask Danny Bears. Cur Naturalist has brought in tokens of L'Spring. Still we all like flowers. Cotton -the queen of the May. - tr- N HNTWlIlK'I ll 7 i STUDENTS LISTEN IN ON INAUGURAL ADDRESS Through the efforts of our Student Council president, Mr. Churchill, and kindness of Messrs. Culiford and Tedford of the faculty, who loaned the radio equip' ment, the entire student body were able to hear President Coolidge's inaugural ad' dress. The students in the electric wiring class climbed the tall stack on the power house and strung an aerial from there to the assembly hall in the main building. Excellent reception was enjoyed. aa.

mgon UlFS R-- - aww THE TEKTGN WHAT'S YOUR PERCENTAGE? Spelling, in and of itself, may not be important. But the spelling in your let' ters and reports may be an index of your accuracy and, indeed, of your general edu' cation. Several secondfyear classes tested themselves on the following list: calendar, comparatively, accommodate, all right, un' controllable fortyffourth, coolly, comparaf tively, maintenance, repetition, chauffeur, chimneys, laboratories, immediately, conf ferrable, mimicking, spiny, athletics, tracef able, explanation. None of the words in the list are catch words. Qne class averaged 64g another class averaged 46. Figure out your own average for yourself. If you are a good speller, try your tongue on the pronunciation of these ordi-' nary words: February, athlete, maintenf ance, incomparable, really, sacrilegious, zoology, quay, column, conduit, film, mis' chievous, sarsaparilla, asparagus, viz., roily, partner, temperament, Roosevelt, regular. If you are weak in spelling and slovenly in speech, resolve to become intimately acquainted with the first aid to the ignorf ant, Webster's New International Dictionf ary. + WIENTWUIKTZK i' M. C. 2nd MAKES ANNUAL TRIP TO BROWN Er? SHARPE MFG. CO. On Friday, May 8, the members of the two secondfyear classes in Machine Conf struction and PatternfMaking made the an' nual pilgrimage to Providence, R. 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. X -wif 15 144'-
