Butterfield zvas- made a Chevalier of the French Legion d’Honneur. The ceremony connected with the awarding of this honor took place in the Cour d’Honneur des Invalidcs in Paris. General Berdoulat conferred the decoration in the name of the French Republic. The photograph shows the General dubbing Colonel Butterfield with his sword after having pinned on the medal. Editorial HE Board presents this Aftermath to the Class of 1919, to the Institute at large, and to those of our friends who may inspect our work, hoping that it may in some measure meet their expectations. The present Board took up the work of getting out this volume in the last half of this school year — after the abolish¬ ment of the Student Army Training Corps. As a result, during the busy period of reconstruction, when Tech and its activities were being reTestablished on the old basis, the work of compiling material has been often interrupted. Our aim has been to produce an Aftermath which will give a true record of the Class of 1919, and which will be not onlv a Class-book but a Tech-book as well. The Aftermath of the Class of 1919 is before you. Consider it with a not too critical aspect. If it recalls happy memories and pleasant associations, our work has not been in vain. iQiq Aftermath 1Q1Q iQiO Aftermath 1Q1Q =3 iniini [iiiiinifng SoarJi lE itiir in-(!It|ief ROBERT C.

Dr. Hollis has now been at the Institute as its President for six years. He has been very successful in carrying on the affairs of the school. Not only has he been ever on the alert to look after school affairs, but he has also been the adviser of every one of us in any difficulty. Dr. Hollis himself says that he is best acquainted with those students who are in trouble. This is probably true because he gives gladly and freely his advice and assistance. The Institute is not only the only organization that has profited by the knowl¬ edge and ability of Dr. Hollis during the past several months. He has served very effectively on several committees dealing with war work and problems caused by the war conditions. He has been a member of the Committee of National Defense. The past year has been a most eventful and difficult one for the Institute. However, because of President Hollis’ diligent and untiring efforts, Tech has safely come through the trying period and the prospect for the future seems good. During the period of the S. A. T. C., Dr. and Mrs. Hollis very generously threw open their home to the officers stationed here, and also made every student feel that they were taking a personal interest in him. The Students Army Training Corps brought many difficulties which had to be mastered in a very short time. Under the supervision of Dr. Hollis — and we honestly believe that he had considerable influence over the military authorities — the Institute and the students survived and came through in as satisfactory a manner as could be expected. The members of the Class of 1919 leave the Institute feeling that Dr. Hollis has done much toward their attaining a broad education. We assure him that he has our firm support in any step which leads to the progress of our Alma Mater. % 1Q10 Aftermath i 9 i 9 mm uiliiiiiiiiiiiniiimiiiijMi 1111 n in i i? GEORGE HENRY HAYNES “Jinny” AKE 4 BK 23 Professor of Economics and Political Science A. B., Amherst, 1887; Ph. D., Johns Hopkins, 1893; Instructor in Modern Languages, W. P. I., 1887-88; Mathematics, 1888-89; Modern Languages, 1889-90; Professor of Economics and Political Science, 1893-. Some of us who were lucky enough to have a seat not too far back or who, perhaps, paid a little better attention, looked forward to the lectures in Business Law or Political Science. It was not until our Junior year that we met “Jinny” in class but we soon learned to prepare for an amusing anecdote when we saw a twitching face and a far-away look. His timely bits of humor brightened up a course which otherwise would have been very uninteresting to most of us. But Professor Haynes has other interests than his course. He believes in getting acquainted with the students outside of class and many of our social events have found him and Mrs. Haynes present. His untiring efforts for Tech are shown by the success of the Tech Journal, of which he is Managing Editor. WALTER LOUIS JENNINGS “The Kaiser” “Pussyfoot” VV bJh-i Professor of Organic Chemistry A.B., Harvard, 1889, A. M„ 1890, and Ph. D„ 1892; Assistant in Chemistry, Harvard, 1890-92; Parker Fellow at Univ. of Berlin, 1893-94 ; Assistant Professor of Chemistry, W. P. I., 1894-99; Professor of Organic Chemistry, 1900- . Recalling to our mind from the dim and shadowy past the days when we were happy, care-free Freshmen and were obtaining our preliminary instruction in the science of Chemistry in the Freshman laboratory, we remember distinctly the rare visits of a white-haired gentleman bearing with him the undeniable stamp of authority. Later as Sophomores we appreciated the thoroughness of his drilling in Qualitative Analysis. In our Junior year, when lost in the mazes of Organic Chemistry we acquired a still greater respect for his complete mastery of that subject. But it was as Seniors, taking his course in the History of Chemistry, that we discovered the genial side of his nature, and the collection of pictures and slides shown during these lectures will long be remembered.

We also have a hazy recollection of a vast number of languages from which the English language sprang, and well remember the ill success that attended our efforts to “put one over on Coombsie,” modify our voice, and persuade him that a certain absent member was present at the English lectures. Few men in the school have done more in extolling the many advantages of Tech and in faithfully supporting its activities. HAROLD BABBITT SMITH “H. B.” BOH 23 Professor of Electrical Engineering. (Leave of absence in New London for Naval Service.) M. E., Cornell, 1891; Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering, Arkansas State Univ., 1892-93; Professor of Electrical Engineering, Purdue, 1893-96; W. P. I. 1896- . “We will have a quiz tomorrow,” says “H. B„” and we know we are in for an hour of the most rapid work of which a slide rule is capable. Those quizzes made us realize how much of electrical engineering we did not know, and, but for the fact that when it came to the final grades Professor Smith passed all who showed any signs of intelligence whatsoever, we should all have come to grief. During much of our course “H. B.” was away, spend¬ ing his time on important government work in New London. From what we have heard from various sources, and from what we know of Professor Smith, we are sure that he did his full share towards “Making the World Safe for Democracy.” Page 15 1Q1Q Aftermath 1Q1Q c 3 ALEXANDER WILMER DUFF “A. Wtimer” 4 2K SS Professor of Physics. (Leave of absence for Aviation Service.) B. A., Univ. of New Brunswick, 1884, and Univ. of London, 1887; M. A., University of Edinburgh, 1888, B. Sc., 1892, and D. Sc., 1901; Professor of Physics, Univ. of Madras, 1889-90; Univ. of New Brunswick, 1890-93; Purdue, 1893-99; W. P. I„ 1899- . Our appreciation of Professor Duff’s genius dates back to the time when we first sat in the Physics lecture room and watched the curtains descend un¬ touched by human hands. Since that day, we have seen him perform complex integrations mentally, compute percentage of error by knowing intuitionally just what terms to neglect, and in fact we have become so accus¬ tomed to witnessing the extraordinary that we look upon the one or two days when Professor Duff was just ordinarily good as startling events. Professor Duff served as an expert in aviation during the war, thus adding further to a scientific reputation already national in extent. ARTHUR WILLARD FRENCH “Pa” 2S Professor of Civil Engineering C. E., Dartmouth, 1892; Associate Professor of Civil Engineering, Dartmouth, 1895-98; Professor, W. P. I., 1899- . “You can fool some of the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time,” et cetera; also “exception proves the rule,” so that Professor French must be the exception, if the first quaint old maxim be true. The first two premises may lead to- some very amusing logic; but it is true philosophy that no civil ever faked a recitation on “Pa” and “got away with it.” However, Professor French does not rely on the baseball scorer’s art to keep tabs on his embryo engineers; thorough, frank and careful in his teaching; ready with good advice on school or other matters; friendly and companionable in his relations with his students; he has no superiors and few equals as a teacher. Page 16 1Q1Q Aftermath 1Q1Q Ullllllllllllllllllllllllllllll WILLIAM WARREN BIRD “Piggy” A Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Washburn Shops B. S., W. P. I., 1887; Instructor in Mechanical En¬ gineering, W. P. I., 1887-91; Assistant Professor of Steam Engineering, 1894-96; Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Director of the Washburn Shops, 1903- . Prof. Bird graduated from the Institute in the Class of 1887. He remained here as an instructor and grad¬ uate student for the next three years. After completing this work he took charge of his father’s foundry in Cambridge for the next few years. He returned to the Institute in 1903 as head of the Mechanical Engineering Department and director of the Washburn Shops. It was not until our Senior year that we met this rather stout gentleman. (We have heard of his walks around Worcester to keep him thin, but we failed to see the results.) There is not a better-liked man on the Hill than “Piggy,” and we will miss his advice about how the Institute is only to teach us to reason for ourselves. PERCY ROBERT CARPENTER “Percy” “Carp” 2AE Professor of Physical Education. (Leave of absence for Y. M. C. A. sendee in France.) A. B., Harvard, 1907; Hitchcock, Fellow, Amherst, 1906-09; Assistant Dean, 1908-10; Instructor in Phys¬ ical Education, 19C9-10; Assistant Professor, 1910-11; Associate Professor, 1911-16; Professor of Physical Education W. P. I., 1916- . It was not till our Sophomore year that we met “Percy,” but we soon found out that, though he was small, he was full of “pep.” “If it hurts, it shows that you need it,” was a common saying of his. Although “Carp” kept us busy it was a pleasure to work with him. Professor Carpenter has done more to bring the fellows together and to better Tech Spirit than most of us realize. His course has filled a large gap at Tech, and his efforts in strengthening our athletics will be more and more appreciated. The past year has seen Prof. Carpenter in France supervising the athletic games of the French and American Armies. We hope that next fall will see him back at Tech with his same old “pep.” Hiiinf iinmiiiin w I ALTON LINCOLN “Dingtoe” SMITH Professor of Drawing and Machine Design B. S., W. P. I., 1890, and M. S., 1899; Assistant in Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, W. P. I., 1890- 91; Instructor in Mechanical Drawing, 1891-1900; Assistant Professor of Drawing and Machine Design, 1900-06; Professor, 1906- . “Dingtoe” first met us in private sessions and at that time tried to either encourage or discourage us, we don’t know which. We do know, however, that he encouraged us whether he entirely meant to or not. Since that time we have met him in various classes and we have found him a hard worker. It is sometimes difficult to keep up with him in his explanation of a sketch, which he completely hides from our view, but we usually have plenty of time afterward to puzzle it out ourselves, or at least to ask questions about it. Much time is also allowed when he says, “Pass in your result on a piece of paper.” Then he acts as teller, and when someone votes the wrong way “Ding” makes that person give the explanation. How often he has caught us. JOSEPH OLIVER PHELON Joe ATP TBII Professor of Electrical Engineering B. S., W. P. I., 1887, and B. S. (Electrical Engineering), 1890; M. M. E., Cornell, 1901; Instructor in Physics, W. P. I., 1887-96; Electrical Engineering, 1896-1900; Fellow, Cornell Univ., 1900-01; Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, W. P. I., 1901-07; Professor, 1907- . In “Joe” we have the rare combination of a farmer and an electrical engineer. Our first acquaintance with him was in the Junior year, when under his dignified guidance we were introduced to the elements of elec¬ trical enginering. E. E. 1 was a course well suited to those who were weary in mind and in need of rest, for “Joe” did not blow a circuit breaker very often, SO ' for the most part our slumbers were uninterrupted. Beware, however, of the “yellow tickets” which “Joe” issues without warning, and which have been the downfall of many a would-be Mechanical engineer! As the G. O. P. is to the Country, so is J. O. P. to the Institute. We leave behind us a faithful friend, and can we not say the father of all knowledge of electrical engineering, for was it not “Joe” who first taught us the various combinations of E—IR?

S., 1899; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1894-1902; Assistant Pro¬ fessor of Experimental Engineering, 1902-06; Pro¬ fessor, 1906-09; Professor of Hydraulic Engineering, 1909- . Sometimes at four and a half and sometimes at six minutes after the bell has rung, a sturdy, gray haired man with a kindly face and a genial smile walks down the left aisle of the lecture room, deposits his blue textbook and a lot of pamphlets of the latest “dope” on water power on the desk, and asks, “Is everybody here?” On being assured that at least half are present he closes his attendance book and out comes, “Any questions? ” Then, “Well if you haven’t, I have.” However, before the question calls for an answer Charlie thinks of something that happened on the Podunk river and the question dies. We have enjoyed these hours spent in the M. E. lecture room with Professor Allen and will remember the course as one of the most pleasant. ARTHUR WOOLSEY EWELL “Punk” 4 BK Professor of Physics (Leave of absence as Captain in United States Army ) A. B., Yale, and Ph. D., 1899; Assistant in Physics, Yale, 1897-99; Instructor, W. P. I., 1900-04; Assistant Professor, 1904-10; Professor, 1910- . Only a few of us had the good fortune to meet “Punk” as a teacher in Physics. His untiring patience and readiness to help us over any particularly puzzling point are only a few of his good qualities. We all appreciated his efforts to make school life more agree¬ able for us. Having never heard “Punk” lecture, we cannot say whether his name is justified or not, but we think that his other good points would surely balance any deficiency in that line. He is said to be an excellent entertainer, although none of us had the opportunity to meet him, as he left to give his services in the war and is now a captain in the United States Army, working in connection with the dropping of bombs from aeroplanes.

(Leave of absence ) B. M. E., Purdue, 1894, and E. E., 1908; Assistant Pro¬ fessor of Electric Railway Engineering, W. P. I., 1905-07; Professor, 1907- . We had travelled nearly through our course before we made Professor Richey’s acquaintance. During our first year or two we had seen his name in the cata¬ logue, and in the third year our travels to A. C. took us past his door, labelled with his name, through which sometimes drifted snatches of conversation. Occasion¬ ally the door would open and we would catch a glimpse of the “office force” on her way down stairs. Finally, in the last term of the Senior year, we met the Professor himself. He is a thoroughly practical man, being engaged in railway engineering work continually, and thus keeping right up to the minute in his subject. He has the faculty of putting his statements in a clear and understandable manner. While his appearance is at first rather stern, his eyes light up readily with a twinkle which shows his good nature. HOWARD CHAPIN IVES “Reddy” yy Professor of Railroad Engineering Ph. B., Yale, 1898, and C. E., 1900; Instructor in Civil Engineering, W. P. I., 1900-03; Assistant Professor Univ. of Penn., 1903-06; Assistant Professor of Rail¬ road Engineering, W. P. I., 1906-12; Professor, 1912- . “Reddy,” fair, ruddy of countenance, and tipping the scales at two hundred fifty; most serious and con¬ cerned apparently, most jovial and witty actually, is one of the “Profs.” who will remain in the tablets of a civil’s memory forever. Professor Ives is a firm believer in the doctrine that it is unwise to take one’s self too seriously; moreover, he practices what he preaches and often takes time out of recitation to tell us the kind of anecdote that we all like best. As chief engineer of the C. U., “Reddy” is in his prime, and to his management of the culinary depart¬ ment w r e doff our hats. The thought of the good old days at Chaffin’s causes an echo of an old familiar cry; “Water, wood and waiter; breakfast on time or a little ahead! ” Page 20 After m at h 1Q1Q WA I o vfltriTlITrnilhnr T TTTrTTTTTTTlTnUtnillMlIlllinlllllllMlIlIlIlltll lflllllUrK Page 21 y U iQlQ A ' FTS ' RMATH I9l9 i . . .

Army ) Some of us had Prof. Butterfield during our first two years at Tech, but to most of the students he is known only by reputation, for since the spring of 1917 he has been doing his big “bit” in the military service “over there.” Receiving a commission as captain soon after the United States entered the war, he has been steadily promoted, now having the rank of lieutenant-colonel. All those who knew him will be doubly glad to wel¬ come him back to the Hill, that we may honor him for his work for the world, and that we may welcome him back to the duties on the Hill which he always fulfilled so successfully. Professor of Steam Engineering B. S., M. I. T., 1891; Instructor in Mechanical Engineer¬ ing, M. I. T., 1891-99; Professor, New Hampshire State College, 1899-1908; Professor of Steam Engineering, W. P. I., 1908- . As ranking officer of the British Thermal Unit at Te :h he feels that it is necessary to demand military promptness when he says, “Class t’ the board.” He hasn’t received it yet. His talks during class periods usually had a direct bearing on the day’s work. “Class t’ the board,” “Come, fellers, what d’ you say, let’s get down to business,” “And so forth and things like that.” Once in a great while he would loosen up and give some personal experiences or some personal opin¬ ions, but at such times the expressions of surprise and pleasure on our faces scared him into resuming the old line of talk. He claims that we are handled too gently business world. For this reason he tries to furnish B. S„ W. P. I., 1893, and M. S„ 1898; A. M., Columbia, 1904; Assistant in Civil Engineering, W. P. I., 1894-98; Instructor in Mathematics, Univ. of Vermont, 1898- 1900; Assistant Professor, 1900-04; Professor of Me¬ chanics and Mathematics, 1904-08; Assistant Pro¬ fessor of Mathematics, W. P.

S., W. P. I., 1883; Assistant in Chemistry, 1885-88; Instructor, 1888-1909; Assistant Professor, 1909-14; Professor of Analytical Chemistry, 1914- . It was not until we reached the course in Quanti¬ tative Analysis that we first met “Bobby.” A quiet, unassuming man, he possesses numerous traits which endear him to those who come in contact with him. We are simply mentioning an old story in telling of his kindness, infinite patience and ways of making the courses he teaches instructive. The statements he makes cannot possibly be misunderstood as he takes pains to qualify them so that they will hold in all possible cases. Every man who takes “Bobby’s” courses soon realizes that they have to deal with a man who never asks unfair questions and who believes in helping everyone to get by who can possibly do so. His advice and sound judgment are often in demand and we find that his office is sought first by graduates of the Institute, who realize the value of his friendship. RAYMOND KURTZ MORLEY “Doc” 4 BK 22 Professor of Mathematics A. B., Tufts, 1904, and A. M„ 1904; Ph. D„ Clark, 1910; Instructor in Mathematics, Univ. of Me., 1904-07; W. P. I., 1910-11; Univ. of Ill., 1911-12; Assistant Pro¬ fessor, W. P. I., 1912-16, Professor 1917- . Snap ! Snap ! Snap ! and the chalk disappears from the Doc’s fingers, follows a parabolic curve, and lands in the waste basket every time. How often have we watched his perfect shots and wished that we could do as well as he. How well we remember his “tnat reminds me of a little story,” etc., etc., when pleasure was not allowed to suffer for the sake of Calc. Our knowledge of Calculus we owe to “Doc,” for he was untiring and patient in his attempts to teach us the almost impossible; and when our lessons we knew not, he never asked embarrassing questions about our occupations of the night before. Sophomore means wise fool. “Doc” used to say that half of the saying was true, we could take our choice. However, we still find use for the fundamental formulas, which are all that is now left of the subject “Doc” so diligently strove to teach us. DANIEL FRANCIS CALHANE “ Dinny” 2S Professor of Industrial and Electro-Chemistry A. B., Harvard, 1894, A. M., 1896, and Ph. D., 1904; Assistant in Chemistry, Harvard, 1899-1903 ; Instructor, W. P. I,, 1903-12; Assistant Professor of Industrial and Electro-Chemistry, 1913-18; Professor, 1918- . In the last lap of our course at Tech we first encountered “Dinny,” who was to instruct us in chemistry as it is practiced in a practical way and on a commercial basis. We realized at once that we were dealing with a different type of man, who believed in training each one to be self-reliant by throwing him On his own resources. The experience gained in this way was of much value to us — we learned to work without constant supervision. We confess that much of his course in Electrochem¬ istry was beyond us, but our Latin received brushing up by his use of the “modus operandi,” etc. In Industrial Chemistry we studied many processes “without going into details;” nevertheless, we acquired a vast store of valuable information as “Dinny” paced to and fro behind the desk. CARL DUNHAM KNIGHT “C. D.” TBII AXA Assistant Professor of Experimental Electrical Enginering B. S., W. P. I., 1903, and E. E., 1908; Instructor in Electrical Engineering, 1904-08; Assistant Professor of Experimental Electrical Engineering, 1908- . C. D. Knight, the man of unlimited patience. The fiftieth time a circuit breaker blows on an afternoon when the Mechanics or Chemists have E. E. laboratory, finds this professor walking over to the switchboard just as calmly as he did the first time. It is this quality in “C. D.” that makes our afternoons in the laboratory practically free from care and worry. He realizes that circuit breakers were made to blow, so does not regard it as an offense when we try them out. He is the one speaker on the Hill who does not repeat himself, and yet talks slowly enough so we can get a good set of notes. We are glad to have known Professor Knight, and will remember him and try to profit by his example of calmness and patience.

D., Cornell, 1908; Assistant in Physics, Wesleyan, 1902-04; In¬ structor in Electrical Engineering, Cornell, 1904-11; Assistant Professor, W. P. I., 1911- . “Doc” is our professor of Theology and Alternating Currents. He has the happy faculty of combining these two subjects into a remarkably smooth and con¬ tinuous lecture. That is, it sounds smooth if you merely judge by the sound as heard from the next room. From a nearer point, however, you discover that “Hold on, I’ve been talking through my hat,” is a favorite expression of “Doc’s” after saying which he picks the problem to pieces and straightens it out. It was prob¬ ably due to these frequent “stops for repairs” that we were able to absorb a little of the theory of alternating current circuits. “Doc” apparently had as little liking for examinations as we did, for he never gave any finals, and his daily “prelims” soon became weekly, then monthly, and during the Senior year they disappeared altogether. We wish other professors would copy “Doc’s” good example. CHARLES TOSEPH ADAMS “Pop” 0AX Assistant Professor of English A. B., Amherst, 1896; Instructor in Modern Languages, W. P. I., 1908-13; Assistant Professor of English, 1913- . No Freshman Banquet would be complete without “Pop.” Why? It’s because of his wonderful genius in telling those snappy stories. We learned this the first time we met him in the study of English Litera¬ ture. By his knowledge of human nature he could get us to read books which we should never have dreamed of reading. Some of us even were persuaded to read the Bible after listening to some of the stories read from the Good Book. It was “Pop’s” kindly way and fatherly interest that really made our English periods so enjoyable. We shall remember him by the many bits of advice kindly given in that little recitation room in Boynton Hall. Page 24 ■■■■■ iQlO A ' FTEPiMATH iQlQ HOWARD PARKER FAIRFIELD “Pa” 23 Assistant Professor of Machine Construction Instructor in Machine Design and Shop Work, Case, 1891-99; Machine Construction, W. P. I., 1899-1914; Assistant Professor, 1914- . Here is another member of the Faculty who will always be remembered. His face shows his calm, steady nature, which has been so much enjoyed by all who have been acquainted with him. The Mechanics have been in contact with him since the Sophomore year and they find him a true friend. His personal interest in student activities and in the students them¬ selves has brought him high esteem from every class. His various classes have been fairly well a ttended, for he combines a slight amount of severity with his good nature and none dare play upon his good will. His short lectures and conversational periods have relieved some of the tiring effect of shop work. We all appreciate his untiring efforts to secure consent for numerous inspection trips. MORTON MASIUS “Dutchy” Assistant Professor of Physics Ph. D., Univ. of Leipzig, 1908; Whiting Fellow, Har¬ vard, 1908-09; Instructor in Physics, W. P. I., 1909-15; Assistant Professor of Physics, W. P. I., 1915- . When “Dutchy’s” name is mentioned, we have learned to associate it with energy, efficiency and the power to do seemingly impossible things. It took some time to become accustomed to his peculiar mode of expression and his journeys from one end of the room to the other on his toes, but by his forceful methods of teaching he succeeded in penetrating the thickest of our skulls. His opinion of our various abilities was no secret, as evidenced by his, “I will now call on someone who knows absolutely nothing about the subject — Mr. -.” On one never-to-be-forgotten occasion he appeared in class without his usual red necktie. Where could a more versatile teacher be found—one who can at the same time instruct in Physics, Mathematics and branches of Chemistry and have a seemingly exhaust¬ less fund of knowledge in each subject?

Super¬ intendent of Buildings and Grounds B. S., W. P. I., 1907; Instructor in Civil Engineering, 1910-16; Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, 1916-; Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, 1917- . Professor Knight may not be the largest man in the world as regards stature; but one need only stand at the door of his office on any day in the year to realize that he is a veritable Samson in the efficient disposi¬ tion of business affairs. The financial success of the various athletic teams may be traced directly to his untiring efforts, and in spite of the many duties that devolve upon him in his administrative capa city, he finds time to be present at all athletic contests. Professor Knight filled Professor Butterfield’s place in Least Squares and Astronomy and we will vouch for the fact that he is a “bear” for work. In short, he is a real teacher who has the happy faculty of getting a man interested in his labors, and we admire him as a professor and are glad to know him as a man. FRANCIS JOSEPH ADAMS “Rip ” TBn 2£ Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering B. S., W. P. I., 1904; Graduate Assistant in Electrical Engineering, W. P. I., 1904-06; Instructor, 1908-16; Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, 1917- . “Er-ah, for information on er, that er subject, 1 would er-ah suggest a reference to-er the-er-ah Elec¬ trical World!” This is indeed a familiar sound to any graduate or undergraduate in the E. E. Department, and by the time the poor Electric has reached the end of his Senior year he has come to regard the Electrical World as the Bible of Electrical Engineering. “Rip” is a firm believer in the “hunt and ye shall find” method of teaching, and although we cannot as yet see the great benefit derived from this diligent searching and assuming, we are told by those who have preceded us that the experience so gained will be invaluable when we are placed upon our own resources. As we leave the Institute we can be sure that we leave behind a true friend in Professor Adams, one interested in the welfare of all who came under his supervision.

S., W. P. I., 1909, and M. E., 1917; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1910-16; Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, 1917- . “Spider” returned from M. I. T. just in time to take us in tow in our Junior year. We were in luck, so they tell us. We found that out very soon. We may have forgotten some of his teaching now, but we had the satisfaction of knowing that we were being taught thoroughly at the time. His problems and exams, gave some of us a little midnight exercise, but it was worth it to know that he was willing to do as much work for us. In M. E. Lab. he always gave us the best instruction, and when we had finished an experi¬ ment we knew something more than the motions neces¬ sary to perform the test. During our Senior year we have not seen him much, except during our recesses in “Dingtoe’s” course. Then, between periods, we might see him stretching his legs in an effort to answer the telephone before the batteries run down on the bell.

I., 1914-16; Assistant Professor in Chemistry, 1917- . Our recollections of “Doc” when we leave the Hill will all be pleasant ones, even though his courses in the theoretical side of chemistry rivaled the “Kaiser’s” in the amount of facts to be memorized, and much of our time was spent in cramming for his exams. His personality was a delightful one — a smile and a pleasant word for everyone — all were his friends. It was with sincere regret that we heard he had been granted leave of absence for a position in Chemical Warfare Service; however, it afforded him an excellent opportunity to show his ability as a chemist.

It is not known yet whether or not he will return to the Institute after his discharge. Page 28 ' A iQiQ Aftermath i9i9 K IIIIIIlKfif JOHN JERNBERG “Johnny ” Instructor in Forge Practice, W. P. ., 1882 - Every year that “Johnny” stays here he is better liked than the year before, and he was immensely liked in 1882, so you can see what we think of him. He never calls anyone down, is never sarcastic, is always good-natured and jovial. From the first day, when he told us to get our steel up to a welding heat and tap it a few light blows, and we watched him heat it till it began to sparkle, and then pounded it with what seemed to us, all of his might, to the last, when we sat around and watched a pyrometer and a furnace, we enjoyed his course. John certainly knows everything to be known in his profession, and it is with pleasure and admiration that he will be remembered by the class of 1919. BURTON LINWOOD GRAY Instructor in Foundry Practice, W. P. ., 1910 - Mr. Gray has been manager of the foundry and Instructor of Foundry Practice since 1910. We first became acquainted with his splendid qualities when as Freshmen we were sent to the foundry with some of those shiny, black “crea¬ tions in wood.” Since then it has been a pleasure to visit him at odd times and be influenced by his sympathetic, patient disposition. We shall remember Mr. Gray for his pleasant smile and greeting as well as his devotion to the department for which he is responsible. — n $cr lVnJTTr mnm 11 n n 1111 n HERBERT STEVENSON BUSEY “Smokey Joe” Instructor in Mechanical Dr aw in g Maryland Institute, 1898; Instructor in Mechanical Drawing, Purdue, 1910-1912; Instructor, W. P. I., 1912- “Smokey Joe” is one of the brave men of Tech. He tackled the class of 1919 among the first and came out on top. Several times he expressed the opinion that we were very slow in getting the “I-I-Idea” and that if we could not learn to “vis-u-alize,” we might not last long. No one qualified in free hand lettering as far as we know. When “Descrip” came he excused us from the final because he knew that no one would pass. WALTER WILLIAM MONROE “Pop ” Instructor in Pattern Making, W. P. I., 1912- “Pop” introduced us to the shop courses with his lectures and warnings to do things in an engineering way. During such talks constant reference was made to a small book, which all good Freshmen should have. The book makes a fine note book, except that some of the pages have been written on. When we became Sophomores and were ready for the rope-pull we began to fear because we knew that during lecture periods he was passing out valuable dope to the green Freshmen. His dope seems to be getting stronger in late years. SAMUEL J AMES PLIMPTON “Plimp ” 2 3 Instructor in Physics Ph. B., Yale, 1905, and Ph. D., 1912; Loomis Fellow, Yale, 1905-08; Assistant in Physics, Yale, 1909-12; Instructor, 1912-13; Johns Hopkins, 1913-14; W. P. I., 1914- In spite of his rather fierce appearance, “Plimp” has a very mild disposition. He seldom gets excited unless he is engaged in one of his two hobbies. One of these is to see how fast he can take a corner in his automobile; the other is to chase atoms up and down a wire. Those who have seen him in action know that he is quite expert at both. This year “Plimp” has taken over the task of keeping the Sophomores awake during Physics lectures, and we are told that in a majority of cases he has been successful. Page 31 1Q1O Aftermath i 9 i 9 RICHARD CARLETON JOSLIN Joslin” Instructor in Modern Languages A. B., Dartmouth, 1914; A. M., Harvard, 1915; Instructor in Modern Languages, W. P. I., 1915- Mr. Joslin entered Tech the same year we did and therefore many of us were fortunate to have him in French during our Freshman and Sophomore years. Joslin is the greatest “society man” of the faculty, and is present at every Tech dance and social affair. Mr. Joslin is a very good teacher and one whom everyone likes. He has many friends in the Class of 1919. CARLETON DEAN HAIGIS “Haigis” 2 S Instructor in Physics B. S., W. P. I., 1915; Instructor in Physics, 1915- “Haigis” is an all-around man. He has tried everything, even to joining the ranks of the benedicts. Last year we were reminded of his presence by sundry explosions in the Magnetic Laboratory. This year, however, he has been instructing in the Department of Physics whenever he could find time to leave his “flivver.” The “flivver” was sometimes to be seen tied to the Salisbury Laboratories by a wire, other times distributed in parts around the building, and occasionally one would actually see it running. LEROY ELDEN PEABODY “Nigger” “Black Jack ” $MT Instructor in Mathematics B. S., Norwich Univ., 1915; M. A., Clark Univ., 1916; Assistant in Mathematics, Lehigh Univ., 1916-17; Instructor in Mathematics, W. P. I., 1917- According to the Sophomores, “Black Jack’s” favorite sport is that of putting the screws on the students. But we suspect that the trouble lies in the fact that mathematics is way over their heads and that he has no enmity against the students. It is said that the subject that he teaches is so simple for him that he finds it hard to concentrate on the minor details. However, “Black Jack” is popular around the time for make up examinations. Page 32 CHARLES BUELL HURD Charlie” t b n s s Instructor in Chemistry B. S., W. P. I., 1915; Graduate Assistant in Chemistry, 1915- Ever since our first contact with “Charlie” in the Qualitative Laboratory we predicted that he would not he long in making a name for himself in his chosen field. He has very ably taken up “Doc” Daniel’s work, and is at present our authority on theoretical chemistry. He has not only demonstrated his ability in Food Chemistry but has undertaken the conduct of an advanced course in Theoretical Chemistry for Seniors, at which members of the Faculty are present, obviously to profit by his store of knowledge. We predict a brilliant future for “Charlie” if he continues as he has begun. DEAN JEWETT LOCKE t b n Instructor in Mathematics B. S., W. P. I., 1912, and E. E., 1916; Instructor in Mathematics, 1918- Mr. Locke, after spending some time at Tech working with Prof. Richey, has during the past year acted as instructor in mathematics. We have not come in contact with him in this capacity, but we became acquainted with him seeing him around the E. E. Building in our Junior year, and know h im to be a very pleasant and agreeable man. ARTHUR KELSO INGRAHAM “Doc” Instructor in Mechanical Engineering B. S., W. P. I., 1916; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, W. P. I., 1916- — “Doc” has returned to Tech after a time in the service, and he confidently expects to deal out knowledge to the Mechanics. The only dealings he has had with us have been as a Lab. Instructor or as a pinch hitter in Hydraulic Power Plants. We understand that he is a capable instructor in Steam, and judging from the “screws” in “Descript,” he must be some dispenser of knowledge. HENRY C. SWASEY $KT Instructor in Physical Education B. S., Amherst, 1915; Hitchock Fellow, Amherst, 1915-16: Athletic Director, Fessenden School, 1916-17; Instructor of Physical Education, Adelphi Academy, 1917-18; Instructor in Physical Education, W. P. I., 1918- “Coach” Swasey has filled the place left vacant by the absence of Professor Carpenter in France. Under his supervision. Tech has had highly successful teams in both basketball and baseball. Believing as strongly as we do in Tech athletics, we wish him every success in the future. Page 33 iqiq aftermath. 1Q1Q 3 11111 n n 111i ' WALTER ARTHUR PECK “Pecky” 2 N Instructor in Chemistry A. B., Colgate, 1916; Instructor in Chemistry, Univ. of Vermont, 1916-17; Instructor in Chemistry, W. P. I., 1918- Although “Pecky” is a new man on the Hill he is quickly distinguishing himself. He reads exams by his own simplified method, which he is always ready to explain. This is the way he does it: “Toss the books carelessly in the air and watch how they land; covers down, you pass; covers up, you don’t. What could be simpler? In the classroom he frequently helps matters along by doing the reciting himself, while the division watches the performance. “Pecky’s” knowledge of rocks is amply demonstrated in the Sophomore Mineralogy course. And in track events he makes an excellent coach. WILLIAM CONRAD HIMMER Instructor in German A. B., Harvard, 1917; Instructor in German, Browne and Nichols School, 1917-18; Instructor in German, W. P. I., 1918- Mr. Himmer entered Tech at the time of the starting of the S. A. T. C. He is apparently of a retiring nature, therefore our class is not well acquainted with him. Mr. Himmer is well liked by his classes and seems to be a valuable addition to the language department. GLEASON HARVEY MacCULLOUGH T B n 2 3 Instructor in Mechanical Engineering B. S., W. P. I., 1918; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1918- Mac is still a student, although he is listed as an Instructor. We understand that his line of action is the same — he sits up nights working out trick problems for fun, which comes later in the class-room. If he is treated squarely by a class we hear that his patience is unlimited (except in drawing.) The reports we receive from underclassmen show that he is a hard worker and a willing worker for those who are struggling through Tech. RALPH FRANCIS TENNEY t b n 22 Instructor in Chemistry B. S., W. P. I., 1918; Graduate Assistant in Chemistry, W. P. I., 1919- Tenney is well known to all of the Class of 1919 because of the fact that he went through Tech only one year ahead of us. While some of us still know him as a student and are in the same classes with him, we understand that the Freshmen have found him an exacting Instructor. Knowing him as we do we feel sure that his classes will acquire considerable knowledge of Chemistry. uiiiiiiiiiiinimimiiiiiiii ii i m 1111 ffi Alma Hater Hedlund, 10 Dear Worcester Tech, our Polytech, Our praises ring to Thee, To Alma Mater, good and true We pledge our loyalty, Long have we felt Thy guiding hand, Thy teachings broad and free; With praises loud in every land, We’ll shozv our love to Thee.

Rifle Team (3), Captain (4), Class Secretary (4), After- math Board. When Ed first came to the Hill, just four short years ago, his ambitions must have been high, for he has accomplished much. His first hobby took him to the top floor of the E. E. building. There he broke so many laws and rules, that the Wireless Association decided these doings must stop, so elected him chief operator, to make his own laws. At times, too, he enjoyed his own set, for though moonlight may excell audion light, receiver cords were never made long enough to fit two heads at once. Then one day he found the rifle team tucked away in one corner of the new gym¬ nasium, and went out for it. The next year he made good, and this, his last year, he has captained the team through the most suc¬ cessful season in its history. When not busy with these essentials, he often studied. To such good ends did he study, that once this year, when he told “Doc” he regretted an assignment unpre¬ pared, “Doc” replied that that was all right. He would just mark on what he knew Ed could do,, Tan Beta Pi claimed him Junior year, and now he writes Sigma Xi also, after his name. His two hundred telephone operators in Philadelphia last summer must have taught him something; else why the dreamy waltz¬ ing with his best silk sofa pillow carefully wrapped in a bathrobe? If you want a good description of Elm Park on Sunday evening, ask Ed. He knows. i Well, Ed, few have left better records, or firmer friends; and if friends’ wishes come true, the best you desire in life will be yours. CARL IVER BENSOlN “Iver’ Civil Born, July 6, 1897. Prep., Worcester South High School. Iver learned to shark courses and smoke “Edgeworth” at the Worcester South High in 1915, and has continued to do both with commendable regularity since coming to Tech. At Reddy’s summer resort, he nearly won a Carnegie medal for his brave charge through that portion of the territory that at least a million wasps had reserved for their summer stamping ground. Iver has already made arrangements to be interred with the five other members of the “Chaffin’s Thugs Club” — this select organization including all those who have taken the oath never to use profane lan¬ guage. Durkee and Bronson would make ideal members for this club were it not for the last requirement: total abstinence from indulgence in ultra-slang phrases. After leaving Tech, Iver intends to build chimneys for his father, and to lecture to his children against the evils of profanity and the use of tobacco. During the S. A. T. C. session at Tech, Iver received several pink envelopes from Washington, but, as Durkee says, “Gossip should not spoil a man’s reputation.” When Iver gets down to work, he is, without a doubt, one of the most efficient sharks in existence, and it is the pleasure of the Civils to watch him grind out “Pa’s” problems without a trace of lost motion. For the purposes of future identification, we will say that Iver is about six feet, one inch tall, smokes infinite tobacco, tells snappy stories with great gusto, and suggests Sterling Inn parties which mate¬ rialize in the Svea Gille Club. His brilliant mentality will always form a favorable impression for him while his genuine good fellowship and boundless good humor will win and preserve many friends.

Football (1, 4). “W.” (4); Musical Asso¬ ciation (1, 2, 3, 4.) Captain Rope Pull (1.) “Don” is one of the most popular and big- hearted men of the class. Before coming to Tech, he lived in Springfield, where he got most of his worldly experience. Everyone on the Hill, from the greenest Freshman up, knows the largest and strongest man in school. Is he strong? Ask Rollo, he knows. However, Don’s friends are not all students at Tech ; there is a rumor about that he is quite friendly with the fair ones on Belmont Hill. Ac¬ cording to his own stories his visits to the Bancroft are quite frequent, and when not there, he may be found at one of the thea¬ tres, although never alone. His services on the good ship “Theta Chi” did not seem to interfere with these excursions to any extent. On the football field Don was a nightmare to all our opponents. We can all imagine their feelings when they saw this Goliath trot onto the field, where he won his “W.” And oh, that “toot-horn!” Isn’t it a grand and glorious feeling when you see Don on the job with his clarinet? But football and the “toot-horn” are not his only achievements; if you want to know anything about electricity, steam engines, boilers, automobiles, or the Bible, ask Don.

BRYANT Judging from “Ev’s” appearance, one, would say that such a sober-looking fellow must be wrapped up in his studies all the time, but those of us who know assure you that such is not the case, for he has a keen relish for a joke and is usually at the bottom of all the pranks or stunts pulled off when the Kaiser’s watchful eye is not present. The impression he tries to convey is that of indifference, but his attitude we soon found was all assumed, for “Ev” is really a hard worker and a sound thinker. It is surprising how many out-of-the-way corners he has discovered to hide in, for ofttimes he cannot be found when his pres¬ ence is desired by some of the powers that be. He also is a great exponent of the theatre as a balm for wounded feelings. When some unthinking Professor makes a sarcastic remark, we usually hear something like this : “Are we going to- let him insult us that way? Let’s go to Poli’s.” “Ev” was among those chosen for the S. A. T. C. training camp at Plattsburg, and was sent to the Field Artillery Camp to train for an officer’s commission. It might be mentioned incidentally that he was assist¬ ant chief of the branch of the Clinton Wash-bottle Fire Brigade established at Tech. Moreover, rumor has it that he has been taking singing lessons lately under the guidance of a certain member of the New England Conservatory of Music, although we never knew “Ev” was musically inclined before. His practical nature and willingness to work on any subject that interests him lead us to predict great success for him in his chosen line, and he carries with him the best wishes of the chemists as he enters his new sphere of activity. “Ev.” 2 A E Chemist Born, Dec. 18, 1895, Worcester, Mass.

Prep.: South High School, Worcester. Glee Club (1,2.) Musical Assoc., Vice Pres. (3), President (4.) Among the many other youthful aspirants for an engineering education who climbed Boynton Hill on that memorable fall morn¬ ing in 1915 was a very blond haired youth, whom we now know as George. This care¬ free young chap has successfully overcome the many and varied difficulties which the Faculty puts before every student, and still he has had time, or made time, to enjoy himself to the limit; he is, perhaps, one of the very few who have got through Tech and yet have not let business interfere with pleasure. The musical clubs have appreciated his work and ability, first electing him vice- president during our Junior year, and then by having him as president during our last year on the Hill. The very excellent show¬ ing of the musical clubs this year may be taken as a criterion of the pushing ability of George. In addition to these activities in school, there are interests outside of which we know very little except by rumor, and by a process of deduction “a priori.” For example, almost every day George seems to have been out the night before, hence some¬ thing or somebody holds an especial interest for the hero of this recital. However, it would not be fair to leave our readers without a little idea as to George’s plans for the future. He is a believer in experience, and therefore spent last summer at Schenectady, and plans to spend a little more time out there gaining more practical experience. Fie carries with him the good wishes of the class, more especially of the Electrics, with whom he was more closely associated during his course at the Institute.

Alden is not as quiet and peace-loving a citizen as he looks, but don’t misjudge him because of this. For an all-around good fellow, never losing his temper, but giving as good as he gets, no better illustration can be given than the above-mentioned personage. With this brief send-off, let us review some of Alden’s past history, doings and misdoings. Fie spent the early and unsophisticated years of his life at home and at South High. One of his noted accomplishments at South was his unerring accuracy at propelling a missile, composed of tinfoil, at the back of someone’s head. Also worthy of notice was his propensity toward the fair sex. He was known tO ' have looked at a girl at least three times during his sojourn there. But don’t put Alden down as a woman-hater—far from it— lay it to his bashfulness. How¬ ever, it has become noticeable during his last years at Tech that he is gradually getting over this weakness. At a recent basket-ball game he was caught dancing with a “lie- male,” and it is confidently expected that soon he will be found dancing with a fair damsel. Who knows? Has Alden been in athletics here at Tech ? He has, and most emphatically! He has made the varsity in all three major sports, football, baseball, and basketball, and he has been among the best in all three. Well, Alden, we wish you the very best of success, and with your many abilities, and your unfailing good nature, there can be little doubt of your holding a high place in the field of electrical engineering.

H.” opened his eyes for the first time in Warren, Mass., hut after eight years he realized how sadly Fate had treated him and moved to the City of Prosperity. It was during his “prep” at North High that “R. H.” first came in contact with chemistry, and then and there decided upon his future career. In the classroom as well as outside he was always a quiet, unassuming chap. Dur¬ ing lectures he was very attentive and took down copious notes written sometimes in hieroglyphics which he alone could inter¬ pret. During the early part of his course at Tech it was a familiar sight to see him speeding to school on his bicycle. This constituted his only means of exercise up to the time of the opening of the Gym. Then he promptly laid aside his “bike” and now he walks to school in his peculiar fashion, which reminds one of a human windmill. To the casual observer “R. H.” appears to be an easy-going chap, but after a closer acquaintance with him we found that he was either the originator or the executor of most of the jokes played on his fellow- chemists. During his first three years on the Hill “R. H.” had entirely no interest in social events. But suddenly the usual and Normal” change overtook him, and as a result, instead of seeking professional help he referred to his fellow-chemists for point¬ ers on the terpsichorean art. While many a solution was evaporating on the water bath in the laboratory “R. H.” was diligently engaged in practicing the latest jazz dances. By his rapid progress in this direction he clearly demonstrated that old maxim: ‘It’s never too late to learn.” In spite of his modest air we are sure of his faithful friendship and wish him the best of success in future undertakings. iQiq Aftermath 1Q1Q JOHN WILLIAM COGHLIN “Jack ” $Fi Mechanic Born, Worcester, Mass., May 4, 1897. Prep.: Worcester South High School. Assistant Advertising Manager, After- math; Commencement Week Committee. John William Coghlin, gentleman and scholar, is one of the most popular members of the mechanic division. “Jack” is one of these happy-go-lucky boys who- seldom has to study yet always seems to have his les¬ sons. We all know why John does not stay in every evening and study—as every Tech hoy really should — and right there is where John has two great advantages over most of us. In the first place, he does not have to stay in, and in the second place, he has the best reason in the world for going out, a reason which has proven the downfall of more than one student. “Paging Mr. Coghlin!” Unlike many of the members of the class, John was never fortunate enough to he on one of the athletic teams. However, Jack’s interest in what the other boys accom¬ plished in the various athletic sports was never lacking. If there was a golf team on the “Hill,” John would surely be on it for he is a golfer of no mean ability. We do not refer to the African game. In fact, we expect to hear big things of Jack in the golf world after he is in a position to devote more of his time to this popular sport. Not only is John popular with his class¬ mates but also with his instructors. In fact no one can help liking John in his quiet, unassuming way. When one first meets this charming young man he is often under the impression that John is lazy. Yet you can not blame anyone for gaining such an impression for John’s slow movements and his pleasant, long-drawn-out voice are quite deceiving. No, John is not lazy or one of these pepless people. Just look into the E. E. Lab., or go out with him sometime. If you have that wrong impression of him, it will soon be changed. DONALD BRUCE CLARKE “Don” “D. B.” AT fi Electric Born, Dec. 17, 1896, Williamsburg, Mass. Prep.: Northampton High School. Musical Association (1) ; Commencement Week Committee Doubtless if our reverend “Profs” knew that Don’s week-ends commence Friday and are barely ended before Tuesday, they would be amazed at his intimate acquaint¬ ance with things electrical. Don’s trips to Boston and to Northampton have caused the B. . A. to issue added dividends. Nevertheless, these weekly jaunts away from Tech have not interfered with his record as a student, and D. B. gives every indication of prospering in his favorite field of electricity. The mysteries of wireless are his delight, and he has spent many an hour tinkering with coils and aerials of his own manufacture. No little of his success lies in his ability to study “Profs.’ ? Don knows their every whim and desire, and to listen to his anecdotes of their peculiarities and failings is a rare treat. When the “Safe at College” club was organized at Tech, the navy was the choice of our friend from the city which most Tech men have visited with pleasant memories. If the Si. A. T. C. had not “made the world a safe place to live in” so expeditiously, we feel quite sure that Don would have won his shoulder straps. All of us who have known the good- natured boy from Western Massachusetts know that the results of four thoughtful and serious years at Tech give every prom¬ ise of placing Donald Bruce high in the ranks of our alumni. Page 46 LELAND DURKEE “Durk ” t b n Civil Born, Jan. 25, 1897. Prep.: English High School, Worcester. Leland started gathering honors in the scholastic line at the Worcester English High School, and since coming to “Tech” his career has been an endless succession of triumphs, both in studies and the gentle art of self-defense. At “Reddy’s” Chaffin’s sanitarium, he established his reputation as one of the greatest living masters of the gourmand’s specialty: on a certain day in the early part of September, he smashed all American records by consuming four cab¬ bages and fiften onions in addition to the other courses on the menu. One morning, when “Durk” was very calmly engaged in reading a two-months’ old newspaper (?), a certain wasp was so bold as to sting him on the thumb, and the insect was rewarded in a fitting fashion with the greatest com¬ bination of provincialisms ever heard in the region. We all know the words, but when it comes to putting them together with the best onamatapoetic effect, we raise our hats to you, Leland. Moral: “Durk” is a “whale” in more ways than one; or, to use familiar terms: “There are only a few of us left.” If Leland loses any of his cunning in Engineering, he will thrill the patrons of the ancient tragedies with his monumental work, “Twelve Weeks in Instant Centers, or What You Will Not.” Mr. Mantell has kindly consented to support “one of the few left.” Seriously, Leland is a bright student and an exceptionally hard worker. He has the best wishes of the class for his success. Page 48 a 1Q1Q Aftermath i9i9 yiiiiiiiiiiiiimmiiiiimi 9ttS nniTiinm niniv. THOMAS HARLAN EWING “Tom” t b n Cosmopolitan Club Mechanic Born, Feb. 2, 1896, Worcester, Mass. Prep.: South High School, Worcester, Mass. Dramatic Association. “Tom” came to us with the highest rec¬ ommendations of South High School, being one of the first honor pupils in that school. With this recommendation, and the fact that he had just captured the Telegram Scholar¬ ship, Tom managed to overawe the profess¬ ors with whom he first came in contact. How well he succeeded, and has kept on succeeding can easily be seen by looking at ' his record. His election to Tau Beta Pi while still a Junior, indicates that he was not judged wrongly. Tom is also quite an assistant to the faculty, at times, for when a question is raised in “Steam,” “B. A.” always turns to him and says “Well, Ewing, how is it ?” In the athletic field, Tom has never been very ambitious. It is said that he is a tennis enthusiast, but the only time we have seen him on the courts was when he was pushing the roller. When a Sophomore, Tom was very expert with the Sailor’s Hornpipe. At one time Tom aspired to the stage, but after coming onto the stage once, between the acts, he decided that he had better stay in the audience. As treasurer of the Student A. S. M. E., Tom exercises his pet hobby, handling money. With the women, our curly-headed friend is somewhat of an enigma. When he ap¬ pears at any Tech function, he is always accompanied by his sister, but we under¬ stand that this is not the case on his Sunday evening visits to Trinity Church. However, we all know that Tom is a rare good fellow, and that it will not be long before he will be making a name for himself, and doing honor to Tech.

In the fall of 1917, Foster left the class of 1918 to enter the service. Here he soon proved his ability and won promotion, leav¬ ing the service as a Warrant Machinist. He then returned to Tech to complete his edu¬ cation with the class of 1919. Oswald’s ambitions seemed to have changed, however. We remember him as a studious youth who even enjoyed B. A.’s classes. But now his ambition seems only to find a few spare minutes to play bridge. No. that is wrong, he has other ambitions, as his eyes plainly show, when a pretty girl boards a trolley. But it would be well to keep this last quiet, for he receives and answers letters from a certain town, with “commendable regularity.” But Howard is a real engineer. His capacity for real work seems almost unlim¬ ited when he gets interested. And he is truly interested in mechanical problems. We feel sure that he will invent some means for more fully utilizing the hours for sleep. This problem has been troubling him for some time, and as yet he has not solved it, as his 8 :15’s bear witness. But seriously, Foster is sure to make good; he has the ability and initiative, and with W. P. I. behind him we expect much from him. 4 Page 50 iQiO Aftermath iQiQ RUDOLPH HAROLD FREELAND ‘Bill A X A Electric Born, December 9, 1897, Holden, Mass. Prep.: Holden High School. Baseball (3, 4.) Football (4.) We call him “Bill.” The reason for this no one knows, and in fact “Bill” does not himself quite know. When asked why Dame Fortune should have cruelly slipped him the name of “Bill” instead of “Rudy,” which is a terse short hand of his “Svenska” name, he simply grins and says, “She calls me that at home.” That is probably why “Bill” goes home every night — to hear her call him “Rudy.” “Gee! fellows, Eve lost my slide rule again. Has anyone got a pencil ? Let’s have an eraser, too, will you?” This is the way “Bill” starts in the morning’s work. They tell us that “Bill’s” household has become a proficient crew of “sage-brush” detectives, beating around the bushes of Holden in an endeavor to locate his slide rule, which he always loses in his hurry from his home to the car line, to catch the 7:30. “Bill” is interested in everything — even women—-but more in athletics. He is a good baseball and football player. In the season of 1918 he was awarded his “W” for his work on the football team. When not on the Hill his favorite sport is hunting and trapping in the “wild and wooly” parts of Holden. Although not a plugger he is a conscien¬ tious and painstaking student who obtains results. He is a slow starter in his work and does not realize that something has begun until some of us have passed him on the road. Then suddenly he wakes up, and usually finds what he calls a “short cut to the answer,” and always greets us at the tape on time, with a grin and a sigh of relief. “Rudy” is the best-liked boy of the bunch. He has a “Hello” for everybody, and a willingness to help all those who ask him a question. 1 1 111 ju 8 A n ymnipmnmiiimiiiiiu n _ ro _. MICHAEL HANIN “Mike” Cosmopolitan Club. Aleichem Club Sholem Chemist Born, Oct. 10, 1898, Russia. Prep.: Wor¬ cester Classical High School. Where’s Mike? We must try it out on him.” With these few words, so often heard in the various chemical laboratories, we introduce you to Mike, one of the best- natured fellows in the chemical division. He has taken all the jokes that an ingenious crowd of chemists could contrive in the proper spirit and yet always comes up smil¬ ing. Moreover, he retaliates sometimes, and is known to have considerable comeback. We might also say that Mike is the chemist’s diplomat, for when we have anything disa¬ greeable to accomplish, such as a change of schedule or a kick that we wish to register, he is right on hand and in his glory, and, strange to say, he gets away with some things that the rest of us dare not even attempt. When the chemists gather and discuss the weighty problems which go hand in hand with their profession and which serve to make the long hours of quantitative analysis pass pleasantly and rapidly, he takes a prominent part and is not backward in expressing his views. How unnatural it will seem when we can no longer hear his “Kiddin’ aside, now, fel¬ lows.” He has only recently become interested in the art of dancing, but after one or two trials has felt competent to instruct some of the less fortunate members of the division. He seems to be born under an unlucky star, for explosions and mishaps follow in his wake quite frequently. Among the ordinary students of the division, for none of us conform to the “Kaiser ' s” defini¬ tion of a scholar, Mike is perhaps the best, having gathered in an enviable set of marks during his sojourn at the Institute Page 51 iQiO aftermath- i9i9 K iimiiHiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiD uiiiiiiiitni PAGE SMITH HASELTON “P. sr a t n Skull Electric Born, Hudson, N.

They are too numerous to mention, but we feel that some of this quiet fellow’s accomplish¬ ments need publication. Among Page’s foremost feats is his abil¬ ity to throw the hammer, which was proven by his winning the New England Intercolle¬ giate Championship in this event in 1917. It is said that he gained his reputation as a hammer thrower by recognition of his ability as an American Toreador. He is some Mexican athlete. When “P. S.” first came to Tech he was an ordained woman-hater, hut it is now a common sight to see a tall, lengthy youth rushing wildly down the main street of Worcester in one last dash for the Wellesley train. It is rumored also that this continu¬ ous dashing has not been in vain. At all events, we wish him success in his thesis work under Prof. Dan Cupid. When the United States entered the war Page caught the fever early and although he had entered upon his Senior work ( ?) he gave it up and took a position as in¬ structor in wireless at M. I. T. The next report gave his location as New London. Here he obtained a rating as a Chief Elec¬ trician in the “Gadgit Factory.” He served at this station until the middle of the present year, when he returned to complete his course on the Hill. In graduating, Page leaves behind him many true friends and we all wish him the best of success in his future endeavors. With “Joe’s” Storage Battery notes and a goodly collection of A. C. literature under his arm he boldly goes forth to “Do or Die.” i Page 53 RAPHAEL WILLIAM HEFFERNAN “Ray ” “Heff ” Electric Born, November 20, 1898, Spencer, Mass. Prep.: Spencer High School.

From the time Ray first entered Tech until the present, he has lived up to this reputation. For the first two years Ray thought that the Bancroft and “P. T.’s” were a part of his Institute course, until it was brought to his mind by “A. L.” that this sort of engineering was a separate branch from that taught at the Polytechnic. The Junior year, therefore, found Ray settled down to the life of a stu¬ dent in earnest, and all the Profs, heaved a sigh of relief (or shall we say, regret?) It was during the vacation between his second and third years that Ray proved his ability as an auto salesman. We have all heard of his exploits in this line so often that it is useless to print the story. For the sake of those who have been so fortunate as not to have heard the tale, we recommend a personal interview. However, it is remored that he really did sell a car. The greatest event in his history was his introduction to the South, which took place in Atlanta, Ga., after he had received his commission as a second lieutenant in the U. S. Army. Anyone desiring information concerning the Southern Crop of American Beauties can obtain this from Ray. Give “Hefif ” a good cigar and a desk a foot deep in papers, with an easy chair thrown in, and you will have a picture of him in the years to come, a successful business man. JUDAH HATHAWAY HUMPHREY “Judah” “Hump” a t o Skull Mechanic Born, Aug. 27, 1896, Rochester, Mass. Prep.: Fairhaven High. Dramatic Asso. Vice Pres. (4) ; Adv. Man. (3) ; Gen. Man. (4) ; Sec. Athletic Council (2) ; Football Manager (3) ; Class President (4) ; Pres. Tech Council (4.) Judah comes from Rochester, (Mass.) We don’t know where it is, but he always says, “down near New Bedford,” when any¬ one asks him where his home is. When very young he thought engineering was the only calling worth while, so he turned his hopes to a course at dear old Tech. He made one grave error at first when he signed up for the Civil course under “Pa” French. Luckily he soon dis¬ covered his error and decided to take his chances with the Mechanics. We always think of him as the gentleman mechanic who comes to shop with a clean collar and clean hands and leaves nearly the same way. Finally, in Time Study “Pa” convinced Judah that if the white collar was left at home it would look more business¬ like. He has shone as a student, but like any good mechanic he has refrained from wear¬ ing out any books, especially that small col¬ lection used in B. A.’s “courses.” “Hump” always seems to brighten when B. A. says, “Class t ' the board,” and he has even smiled and sajd, “What’s the use” after a semi- occasional exam from B. A. There is no one in the class who is better liked than Judah, and he has been a hard worker for the class and Tech. We wish him the best of luck and we expect to wake up some morning to find him famous because of one of bis ideas in business organization (which he explained so clearly in Abstracts.)

Prep.: Worcester Classical High School. At an early age this youth left North Smithfield to live in the more civili zed parts of Tatnuck, where an occasional trolley and auto are to be seen. He entered Tech with the class of 1917 and dropped into the turmoil of its life very calmly. Lathes that balked and patterns with numerous back drafts behaved under his hand, after everyone else had passed them up as a hopeless job. Once, it is rumored, he brought “Pop” Monroe flying down the shop at the sound of the circular saw splitting a nail, but nevertheless “Ed” got by the course, for when “Pop” got there the oft’ending piece of wood was forever lost out of the window and “Ed” was cheer¬ fully sawing out a new piece. To this day “Pop” wonders what made that funny noise in the saw. When nearly at the end of his senior year “Ed” gave up his Tech career to enter the navy as a machinist’s mate. For a while he was stationed at Boston, but after he was commissioned he saw convoy duty on the cruiser “Pueblo” and now sports the coveted gold service bar as well as a certificate of membership in the great fraternity of the sons of old Neptune, which honor he gained after being duly initiated on crossing the equator for the first time. “Ed” left the navy soon after the signing of the armistice and returned to Tech to pick up his work again with the class of T9. Somehow, while in the service, he acquired an uncanny ability to make quiet entrances and exits, and this stood him in good stead during machine design. Not all “Ed’s” time is taken up with Tech, however. You are quite apt to find him at Poli’s or see him at a dance with some fair Worcesterite on his arm. It seems fairly certain that after finishing Tech he will have plenty of other attrac¬ tions to take up his time.

When our hero left New Jersey and came to Massachusetts he was taking a step in the right direction, but his real judgment and ability was shown when he made the decision to come to Worcester Tech and become an electric. Kimball entered in the fall of 1915, along with the rest of the “young hopefuls” of our class. Examinations, with their long lists of casualties, came and went, and came again, but this boy was always found safe among the survivors. In his Sophomore and Junior years he found a place on the football field, and made good in that sport. In the vacation before his Senior year, he answered the “Call to the Colors” by going to Plattsburg. Here he gained his commission as a second lieu¬ tenant in the infantry, and when the Si. A. T. C. was organized in the fall he was sent to- Cambridge, where he took command of Company A at M. I. T. January, however, found him back at Worcester, and hard at work making up for lost time. We have often wondered about Kimball. Is he one of those unfortunates ( ?) who has no use for the fair sex? Or does the fact that he spends so much of his time in his home town account for his apparent neglect of Worcester’s maidens? We are inclined to believe the latter. We have always found Kimball a good classmate. He is ambitious and a hard worker, but not what you could call a grind. If he keeps on as he has begun he will soon be a prosperous electrical engineer, and we wish him all the success which we feel sure he will attain.

Rope pull team (2) ; Sholem Aleichem (2 3, 4.) Klappy, the most industrious of all the electrics, started out in life on the sandy soil of New Jersey. As his ambitions grew he soon saw that the mosquito state was no place for him, so he moved up to Spring- field, where he spent his days at the Tech¬ nical High School, and his evenings in hard and diligent study, always looking forward to taking his place in the class of 1919 on the Hill. His faithful work was rewarded, and with the rest of us, Klappy ran the gauntlet down the stairs of the Salisbury building on that memorable day when we started school under our Freshman caps. Since that day Klappy has “stayed with us.” Four years of monthlies and finals have come and gone, but he has always been safe on the upper side. When the school changed from a civil to a military institution, we found our class¬ mate marching to classes, drill, or mess dressed in the dark blue suit and white cap of the navy. It was during his enlistment in the navy that some of us had the surprise of our lives. We were coming up from a lunch room (as was our custom in the precious spare hour after evening mess) when whom should we meet but Klapholz, walking down Salisbury street with a girl on each side of him. This incident made us feel that perhaps we didn’t know him so well as we had thought. He is usually rather quiet, but his faithfulness, and painstaking method of working have brought him steadily along the road through Tech, and we certainly wish him every success after graduation. 1Q1Q Aftermath RICHARD DAVIS LAMBERT “Dick” §2K Mechanic Born, March 20, 1895, West New Bright¬ on, N.

Dick entered Tech in the class of ’17, as did quite a number who are graduating in this class, but left in the fall of his senior year to assist Dr. Grenfell in his work. He was at St. Anthony, Newfoundland, during that winter, and enlisted as a second class machinist’s mate in the Naval Reserve upon his return in the spring. Not being called immediately, he shipped for a cruise to Buenos Aires and back on H. M. S. Vauban. Soon after his return he was ordered to report at Newport, where he was assigned to duty on the S. P. 463. Soon he was put in command of this boat and shortly after commissioned ensign. About the first of October, Ensign Lambert was transferred to Wood’s Hole, as ordnance officer. He was stationed here until his release came through in December, when he returned to Tech in time for the second term. Being of a somewhat roving nature, as you can see by the above, Dick finds it hard to keep “hove to” at Tech the first three days of the week, and he always is cruising during the rest of the week, Thursday and Friday navigating the good ship “Thesis” at Chaffins; Saturday and Sunday piloting the U. S. S. “Courtship” of the Cupid Steamship Co. around the shoals of Welles¬ ley. We wish him success in this as well as in the future, and welcome him to our class. RAYMOND LAUDERDALE MATHISON “Mattie” Mechanic Born, Oct. 15, 1894, Springfield, Mass. Prep.: Technical High School, Spring- field, Mass. We first knew Mattie in our Sophomore year when he came to Calc and Physics classes. He joined the class of 1918 orig¬ inally, hut was unable to continue with it because of ill health after his Freshman year. Mattie believes in putting all his energy into what he is doing. You’ve got to go some if you expect to keep up with him in most anything, at least in Machine Design, where his machine was ready to make staples before the rest of us were through taking our much needed recesses. But do not mistake this man for a “greasy grind.” Whenever there is any fun going on Mattie is on hand and ready to make things lively. He is a good entertainer and well versed in the art of light talk, which he uses to advantage when conversing with the weaker sex. Oh, yes, he has considerable to do with the girls. Just ask him about his experiences in New Britain or about those daily letters. There is a rumor, but of course - If you want to know what sort of a show is on at Bob’s or the Strand consult Mattie. He will say either “poor” or “passable.” A show that is passable with him is considered good by the rest of us. Mattie has found considerable time to improve his ability as a card player and during such times he has tried to increase his collection of empty P. A. cans. We will always remember Mattie as a good friend ready to help us in a difficult problem, a fellow game for a good time, but a conscientious worker. No doubt these qualities will bring him success in the future.

Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (3.) Junior Prom. Com. (3.) Whenever you speak of Mayo you think of Framingham and farm machinery, for the two gave him the start of his education. The start was evidently a good one for he has always kept up his end at Tech in the right style. When he isn’t studying he is usually spending his time in working on “improvements” for the family Ford or for truck or gas engine. Perhaps the most puzzling problem in connection with this .work was met with when he made a pattern for a pulley. The pattern actually seemed to have peculiar powers of invisibility at times, but after an attempted heat treatment the difficulty was overcome. Mayo has been the chief competitor of “C. H.” in getting “B. A s” goat by asking questions. Also in both M. E. and E. E. Lab. he always wanted to try something new and often succeeded. In the summer of 1918 he was called to serve his country, being stationed first at Wentworth Institute. As soon as his engineering ability was known he was sent to Fortress Monroe (nothing to do with Pop Monroe), but the war didn’t last long enough so he returned to school. Some of his knowledge gained at that place has been used by us in figuring (or was it “frigging”) power Lab. reports. Mayo is a busy fellow and is always ready in school and social work. He hasn’t told us what he intends to do after gradua¬ tion, but whatever it is we know he will succeed.

Baseball (2, 3, 4) ; Basketball (3, 4) ; Football (2, 3) ; Vice President Athletic Association (3.) When we began our Sophomore year and we who had elected the chemistry course began to get acquainted with one another, our attention was attracted to a stocky indi¬ vidual who would charge the length of the laboratory, wash-bottle in hand, to put out a fire in the waste jar. This was our first introduction to Mac, and he is always on hand when the “Clinton Fire Department” is wanted. Mac is perhaps best known to the world at large as an athlete. He made the team in baseball, football and basketball. Those who have followed his athletic career will agree that he is one of the best all-around athletes in the school. Another of the accomplishments which this doughty chemist boasts is that of “har¬ mony expert.” Whether he is singing one of the latest rags alone or in a duet, trio or quartette, his rusty tenor is right there Incidentally it might be mentioned that the singing which has taken place in the Organic and Quantitative Laboratories is of a typ absolutely unsurpassed anywhere, whether by glee clubs, vaudeville or grand opera artists. When we come to the subject of feminine acquaintances we find our hero extremely reticent. He disavows all acquaintance with the fair sex, but this may be passed over as becoming modesty. A little detective work in Clinton would disclose some of his social conquests. Seriously, however, Mac is one whom we all like and whose friendship we value. We are sure that he will be a valuable worker in whatever line of work he may go, and he carries with him the best wishes of the class. Page 61 iQiQ Aftermath 1 Q 1 Q iiiiimiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiT HOWARD ARTHUR McCONVILLE “Mac” Chemist Born, May 1, 1894, Florence, Mass. Prep.: Williston Seminary. Aftermath Board, Cosmopolitan Club. Mac began life in the small town of Flor¬ ence, Mass., and obtained some of his early education there ; afterwards going to Willis¬ ton Seminary, where he broke many records for high marks. Not content with this, he came to Tech, and, although exceedingly quiet and innocent in appearance, he has been the originator, if not the perpetrator, of a great many of the practical jokes which occur in the Kaiser’s domain. He has a record of almost perfect attend¬ ance at the social events not only at Tech, hut also at the Normal School, Ma Day’s, and, in fact, every place where ladies are present. As we have stated before, Mac is “Normally” inclined in his ideas. Unfortunately, his attempts to produce a chemical which would eliminate shaving for men proved unsuccessful. However, Mac did not give up in despair, but on the other hand turned his attention to the correspond¬ ing proposition for the other sex with the result that he produced what he claims is a combination rouge and perfume. This rouge, we are told, is like the proverbial smile — “it won’t come off.” In addition to this he is taking a correspondence course in which he receives many letters in pink, blue and gray envelopes of a type not usually associated with business, which, however, are promptly answered and filed away for future reference. Next to his propensity for jokes and the fair sex, tennis is his hobby. Those of Co. A will always remember Mac as their Sergeant, but, at the same time, as a regular fellow. In our four years’ contact with him, we must admit that we never have succeeded in capturing his “goat.” Of his success in the industries we are assured because he has that happy faculty of meeting tasks with a smile.

Glee Club (1, 2, 4); Rifle Club (3, 4); Junior Prom. Committee, Aftermath Board, Commencement Week Committee. In the days of his youth, Harry spent most of his time chasing squirrels and hunt¬ ing for nuts in the wild, wild woods of Mount Wachusett. But somehow the wild life had no attraction for this boy, so we soon found him attending the local schools of Princeton. It was not long before either the knowledge there was exhausted or the town became too small, so Harry came to Worcester to prepare for Tech. South High of Worcester was the lucky school, and it was here that our hero became acquainted with Worcester’s fair maidens. We envy Harry for his infinite number of friends and acquaintances among the fair sex. However, he never let them bother him very much, so the noble citizens of Princeton were not startled when he was proclaimed a graduate of South High, and a candidate for the best class that ever entered Tech. The year 1915 found Harry climbing the Hill wearing a tomato top, along with all the other good fellows of that year. During the year he did a little singing, and the Glee Club found him a willing worker. The greatest thing of all, however, was when he made the decision to become an Electric. Somehow, Tech never seemed to worry Harry, and it was for this reason that he was able to take in the games and shows as regularly as clock work. The studies were easy for him, so he never had occasion to become a grind, and never ceased to be one of the good fellows. The Rifle Team had a place for him in the Junior year, and the class had duties for him which were creditably performed. Harry is a good all around man, a good mixer, and has fine business ability, and we are sure that he will have the success that we all wish him.

In spite of a promised rocky road and a hard climb, our darling “Pet” from Provi¬ dence left his home in the proximity of Brown University to pursue his thirst for knowledge at the higher institution of learn¬ ing in Worcester. His chief ambition was to become an electrical engineer, although mechanical engineering also appealed strongly to him. In leaving his native city, he left with it a spot dear to his heart. This was the splen¬ did Rhodes dance hall. For dancing and music always held a high place in Vincent’s heart. And while he admits of participation in countless numbers of dances, with their throngs of attractive and sociable girls, still he claims to be the only fellow in the class who hasn’t a girl. But his intimate friends are a bit to the wise on this subject. There came a day when he was observed smilingly sniffing the sweet scent of a per¬ fumed envelope. The following week-end marked the departure of “Pet” for parff unknown. But he returned to the fold fo class on Monday morning, and when ques¬ tioned as to his disappearance he declared, “I’ve been home, and I went down t Rhodes, and I had a swell time. I danced every dance with the same girl.” As a musician, Vincent is an accomplished violinist, and he was a valuable member of the Tech Orchestra. Aside from this he can also perform remarkably well without the aid of instruments, for if he so desires he can give as exact a demonstration of a jazz band as the human voice will permit. Laying all else aside: Here’s to “Pet,” long to be remembered as an optimistic companion, of characteristic quick wit and jovial nature.

A. after an exam in “thermo.” Henry admitted that he was lucky in this exam, nevertheless, you have to hand it to him, he is there. In spite of the fact that he plays for dances, hotels, banquets, wed¬ dings, funerals, etc., for eight nights a week, he finds time to attend Tech and is a mem¬ ber of T B IT besides. Ordinarily, he plays the banjo-mandolin, but lately he is devoting his attention and efforts to the saxophone We are sorry for his landlady. We have often wondered how it came about that Reidv got by “Doc” Pierce’s course in A. C. The notes that he succeeded in convincing himself to take consisted mostly of a good hour’s sleep, or of making up some of his belated correspondence. In junior year it was his custom to walk out of those memorable prelims, which were sched¬ uled to take fifty minutes, at eleven-thirty or earlier, but in spite of this indecorum he never had to take a make-up in the course. Time: 1 :30 P. M., Friday, any week. Scene : E. E. Laboratory. “Clank, clank, clank!” Fire bell? No, that’s Henry coming up the stairs to E. E. Lab. Regardless of the lateness of the hour of his arrival, it was always noticeable tb-w he never hung around after three-thirty, or four o’clock at the very latest. In connecting up a generator he would say, “If this doesn’t blow a circuit breaker it is all right.” And the circuit breaker seldom blew, for Henry’s connections were usually all right. Henry is a remarkably quick and accurate thinker, and if he attacks the problems of life in the same way that he did those at the Polytechnic, there will be no doubt of his success.

During his four year stay here at Tech, “Tom” has been a hard and diligent worker and the results of his labor have been well worth while. Some of us often wonder how “Tom” can look after so many things at once, but he long ago learned to make every minute count. While the rest of us sit around and talk or read, “Tom” is busy tending to one of his many activities. Lately he has been bothered by a large num¬ bers of messages to “call the Western Union.” Bruce is also a student of the “fair sex” and claims that he knows all their whims. It is well that he does, because he is one of these individuals whom the girls all fall for. His acquaintances in the girls’ schools are numerous, and as a result he is bothered with many invitations to spend his week¬ ends out of town. In spite of all this, “Tom’s” studies have not suffered. He has, in fact, done so well as to be elected to Tau Beta Pi. “Tom’s” natural ability and his capacity for work are bound to bring him the great success which we all wish him to have.

When approaching- the Salisbury Labora¬ tory building, if you are suddenly overtaken by a heavy bombardment of fluent language in a high C voice emanating from one of the rooms on the top floor, don’t be alarmed — it is simply Art engaged in a peaceful con¬ versation. He possesses a remarkable vocabulary and his “lingo” is a constant stream of in¬ cessantly flowing words, especially when orating on his favorite topic: “Why shouldn’t the Peace Conference be held in Milford instead of Paris?” or, when dwell¬ ing on the fascinating features of the young lady he had met the night before. With his remarkable ability of expression, we should not wonder at all if in a short time he is hailed as a leading politician, per¬ haps constable, in the town of Milford. Socially, Arthur has been very prominent on the Hill, but more so outside the school. With the Fair Sex he has been anything but a failure, judging by the numerous “morn¬ ings after the night before.” Recently, how¬ ever, his attentions have been chiefly focused on the Sargent School. Reason? It would suffice to say that Art is not an enthusiastic believer in physical education for girls. In spite of his pleasure-seeking disposition, however, Art has wisely practiced the motto Business before pleasure.” He had a diplo¬ macy all his own in dealing with studies and Profs. He believed in fooling the latter and would pretend to be an easy prey for them, but at the close of the term Art would direct his “spring drives” with such force and vigor that they would eradicate all the evil designs of the Professors, even the “Kaiser.” There is no doubt that Art will make good in the future, as he is a jolly good fellow, along with a capacity for work.

After coming through the cap rush safely he started in to do things on the Hill and hasn’t stopped yet. His influence has been felt in almost every activity and we know that they have all profited through his contact with them.. Studies have never phased Bob in th e least. We never see him in the act of study¬ ing, but when it comes to. the exams it seems that he knows more about the subject than any one of the rest of us. It has been rumored that Bob is going to publish a book. All we know about it is the title, “The Application of the Inverse-Time Element to the Problem of Studying or the R X Z of Getting By.” We await eagerly the issue of the volume, knowing that it will be of great assistance to those who in future encounter the problem of extracting a degree from the Institute. Bob has never allowed the fair sex to disturb his peace of mind to any great extent. He has always been so. popular with the ladies that it has been necessary for him to make a careful study of the art of refusing bids. The winning smile which Bob always has for everybody has carried him a long way toward his success at Tech, and we know it will help him a great deal in reaching the success which is bound to come to one of his ability and congenial personality. “Bob 0 b Page 69 iQiq Aftermath i 9 i 9 -J CHARLES WARREN STAPLES “ Warren ” Mechanic Born, March 1, 1897, Manchester, N. H. Prep.: Burlington High, Burlington, Vt. “Hang sakes, you are late as usual.” Yes, that is Staples talking,that tail, quiet, unassuming fellow wearing glasses. He hails from Burlington, Vermont. He was first brought to our attention by a certain pro¬ fessor who wished to be remembered to all the folks back there in the country, and so asked Staples to. do the deed on his next visit. But Burlington is really some town, at least, it is according to him. Maybe the rest of us would agree if we knew the orig¬ inal of the picture which holds such an important place in his room. Staples is not one to neglect his work, his system being work first then play. Possibly this fact, together with the letter that comes regularly at frequent intervals, accounts for the fact that the fair sex near the Hill have attractions for him. However, he has been known on at least one occasion to in¬ duce another fellow to. do. his work in order that he might attend a certain dance. He is an inventor of no little repute. Did you ever see or hear the Silent Alarm Clock which he invented while a Freshman? He finds more pleasure in fixing some old clock, bicycle or automobile than in study. You will find him almost any Saturday after¬ noon tinkering on something which refuses to do its duty. If you could see him during the summer driving that automobile over the Green Mountains, you would see a different fellow from the one who climbs the Hill with “Steam” under his arm We expect to hear from him again soon, for one with his ability cannot be kept down. iQlQ A ' FTEPiMATH lQl 9 mnilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMXilllllllKlri a — 1 — ' iQlQ A ' FTEPiMATH iQlQ TTTfflTTnTnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Page 71 AUSTIN HORACE WELCH “ Austin” P 2 K Skull Mechanic Born, Lowell, Mass., Dec. 2, 1898.

Although a busy man at Tech, he always found time to live up to this maxim. His only enemy was his alarm clock, hut when this instrument of torture had performed its daily function and Austin finally rolled out, it was with a smile, or a little fun in the form of a pillow fight that he greeted his room mates. The smile always lasted throughout the day, while his contagious laugh was known to everyone. Austin came to us from Fitchburg, hut before undertaking the work at the Insti¬ tute, he finished his preparation at Worces¬ ter Academy. When he did join the ranks in the fall of 1915, Tech knew it, for he jumped right into school activities in his characteristic way. The first year found him Treasurer of the Class and Manager of the Freshman football team. Since then he has accomplished much for Tech. In days gone by, Austin was quite popular with the D. S. damsels, but times have changed. We hear that he has enlisted in the matrimonial reserve force and is soon to become a “regular.” When the additional stress of war times called for men, Austin enlisted in the Naval Reserve Force and spent several months in training stations around Boston. As soon as he was released he returned to finish with his class. He has shown us what he can do in school, and now as we go out into the business world we are certain of his success. WATSON HOLBROOK WHITNEY “Whit ” T B II Mechanic Born, Orange, Mass., Nov. 19, 1897. Prep.: Orange H. S. “Whit” drifted in from Orange, and then up Salisbury Street one day and somehow became entangled with Tech. From that time his connections with his home town, which we are told is the home of peaches, and not oranges or lemons, were destroyed as he applied himself to books. During his three years on the Hill his actions were not such as to attract atten¬ tion ; he came to the Hill with his assign¬ ments well prepared and then disappeared to prepare them for the following day. As a scholar, he was known as a fellow who seldom got stuck, and if he did he could generally keep the Prof, going until both were fooled, or at any event the Prof. was. None of us who have worked with “Whit” in M. E. Lab. will forget him. He has a variety of strange and weird expres¬ sions which arise from time to time, partic¬ ularly if anything goes wrong. For in¬ stance : “Say, Whit, that third reading is wrong somehow.” “Who says so?” “B. A.” “To thunder with it. We’ll have to ‘frig’ it. I’ve got to get out of here some time tonight. I’ve got a lot to do.” Whit’s scholarship standing has not had a single blemish, and in his Junior year he was elected to Tau Beta Pi. He has been working just as hard since that time and we prophesy great success as an engineer. We all wish him well in his future work. Page 72 iQlQ A ' FTEPlMATH CLIFFORD HENRY WILLIAMS “Cliff” “C.

H.: “There’s one thing on page 23 that I couldn’t get to. check.” Prof.: “I knew that we could depend on you for at least one question.” Thus we are introduced to our famous inquisitor, who furnished the entering wedge to “time-killing” sessions in many a class when lessons were more or less un¬ prepared by the rest of us. “C. H.” was continually worrying about the result of exams, and his expression, “screwed again,” will stamp him as the champion gloom dispenser of the class. Many is the time we have attended classes when five minutes past the hour had been reached because “C. H.” didn’t feel as if he could miss the work. However, this did not prevent him from enjoying himself, and many is the night he has spent getting an education in the ways of the fair sex as they are in Worcester. There are suspicions that he makes a special trip to a small town near Hartford now and then, not to see any particular relatives. Because “C. H.” could not join the S. A.T. C. he felt mournful and began to play touch¬ ing solos on the cash register. He pro¬ duced a serious effect on most of us. He has since tried to wash out this effect by a “compulsory shower bath” at Chaffin’s. C. H. is more or less a happy-go-lucky fellow on the surface, but we suspect that much midnight oil was consumed while he learned the next day’s lesson by heart. This was productive of results which he sometimes placed at the disposal of the rest of us. We expect that he will make his mark in life, and we wish him luck in his efforts.

Even though he lives on the other side of the city he has seldom been late to an eight o’clock — even being on time to Machine Design. One wild morning he arrived late to Gas although he knew it was against the rules. “B. A.,” true to form, kept perfectly quiet while “R. A.” strode to his seat. How we pitied him! He spent a while in the army as a second lieutenant, being stationed at the University of Maine as Personnel Adjutant for the S. A. T. C. The memory of pleasant days at Tech wrestling with the Profs, soon brought him back to finish his course with the Class of 1919. We have watched “R. A.” and been influ¬ enced by the care and precision with which he has accomplished his work (except occa¬ sionally in Machine Design.) Particular planning ability is shown by the fact that he always manages to have his studying com¬ pleted for the week by Saturday noon, allowing him Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday to devote to the study of the fair maids, usually those within calling dis¬ tance of the house, but his studies have been extended at times even as far as Framing¬ ham Normal School. We shall remember “R. A.” partly by his springy canter, partly by his straight and well-groomed hair, but mostly by his pleas¬ ant disposition maintained while knocking spots ofif the M. E. course. We wish him the abundant success so merited by his conscientious study. 1919 A ' F T E Pi M AT 1 H itti iiiiiniiiinK 1 EARL AUSTIN WINSOR “Fusser” t b n Civil Born, March 18, 1897. Prep.: Westboro High School. Westboro” blew into Worcester some four years ago upon the eve of graduating from the Westboro high school, (“twenty- three in the class -— the largest they ever had, b’ gosh!”) and after a visit to W. P. I. decided that that was the place for him to continue his education. Since then, no matter what the weather, he has continued to blow in daily, for being unable to give up his rustic haunts he became a commuter. After a preliminary year of the usual trials and tribulations, Earl entered upon the course most dreaded and abhorred by all the Freshies — Civil — to come under the motherly guidance of “Reddy” and finally the eagle eye of “Pa.” We are bound to say that the latter has proved by far to be the most beneficial. Without a doubt, Earl is the best boy we know of. He neither smokes, drinks, chews nor cusses, and a Civil who doesn’t indulge in the latter ought, in our opinion, to go down as the eighth wonder. Even if he doesn’t approve of some of Pa’s outbursts, still he has been caught several times laugh¬ ing at some of Rollo’s oratorical efforts, so we are inclined to think that he is human after all. Besides studying, Earl’s chief rec¬ reation is raising chickens, the bona fide kind, for be it known that he has no use whatever for wine, woman, and song, and up to the present all attempts to prove any entangling alliances (even with red-headed girls) have proved absolutely futile. We do not know what he intends to do after graduation, but whatever he does we know he will succeed, for instead of resting on his laurels he is getting better in his work every day.

Prep.: Fall River Technical High School. “Yes, I think that is a very good idea,” is Zeke’s” invariable reply to a suggestion that the chemists convene at Poli’s rather than in the Industrial Laboratory. He is one of that rare species who, although a shark, as you can see by the key on his watch chain, is a mighty good fellow and always ready to do his bit toward a good time. His knowledge has often been of great advantage to those of us who are less fortunate, and even “Bobby” Sweetser has found it necessary to refer to him in con¬ nection with the running of the Worcester Purification Works, thereby shedding light on some of the dark spots in that wonderful course, Sanitation. Just to show his versatility, “Lou” occa¬ sionally trips the light fantastic and lends his ardent support to many an Abyssinian Ball given in and about Worcester. As for his further dealings with the fair sex we know very little, but after using the most successful of “Pussyfoot’s” detective meth¬ ods we have discovered that there is some¬ thing about the atmosphere of Peabody, Mass., which leads “Zeke” to spend most of his vacations in that vicinity. It was because of the ability he showed as a leader of men that he was chosen section leader of the chemist “Gobs” during the S. A. T. C. on the Hill. It was indeed an inspiring sight to watch “Zeke” lead his troops (consisting of from two to four men) through the intricate manoeuvres of “squads east” and “squads west.” We are sure that with his scholastic attainments and pleasing personality, he is certain to make a name for himself in the near future, and be an honor to Tech.

E. Brooks Secretary, L. Stone Treasurer, H. G. Hunt When we returned to Tech last Fall, all prepared to be Jolly Juniors, we found that it had been turned into a soldiers’ and sailors’ home (aged and otherwise.) It proved to be a wild life; our “Looies” told us that we were in the army, and that they were the bosses, while the faculty said “Work like hell, as usual.” We obediently tried to suit both, with sad results. When this nightmare was over, we went back to the old schedule, with a few changes in courses. The most notable change was the placing of “Poly Sigh” before “Echo-nomics.” Jinny very wisely decided that the decisions of the Peace Conference would be made more easily and wisely if benefited by our valuable criticisms, made by the application of the principles of “Political Cy-ance.” The results are manifest to all. We also modestly admit that our helpful suggestions on the Home Rule question seemed to have a quieting influ¬ ence on the “Finn Shiners.” Early in the new semester we had a joint celebration of our release from the trenches at Tech Hill and our arrival at the half-way-through stage. The little town of Sterling let down its bars to welcome us. The fire department turned out in undress uniform to submit himself for our inspection, which we enjoyed thoroughly. The next product of our brilliancy was the Junior Prom, which we held with all the original, oldtime features and a few new ones, too. It is quite generally known that we helped pull the Sophs through the pond this Spring by giving the Freshmen most valuable information on how not to do it, derived from sad experience. We fear that the little boys of 1922 do not appreciate our martyrdom, but alas, ’twas ever thus. We’re almost Seniors now (some of us), after having done our best to revive Tech life to its pre-war standard. To the parting class, we of 1920 give a toast: may their happy memories of old Worcester Tech remain with them through life.

Kittredge Secretary, Cornelius A. Callahan Treasurer, Paul S. Sessions The class of 1921, with its registration of 111 men, has now passed through the first half of its active career on the Hill. It was decidedly a “War” class, being the first to enter after the United States had joined the ranks of the Allies. During its first year, 1921 made many notable successes. It was the first Freshman class in several years to win the Rope-Pull. It also showed its prowess by leaving 1920 behind on the football field, and by coming out with plenty of “pep” to all Tech functions. The war, however, has had its effect on the class. Many responded when the call to service came, and are now among the missing. Some of these will return and continue their studies with a later class. Those who stayed joined the army or navy branches of the Si. A. T. C. and worked faithfully at the difficult task of keeping awake in a stufify study hall each night after tramping, drilling, and exercising in the open during the day. Several members of the class were sent to officers’ training camps, some received commissions, and others would have but for the ending of the war. Since the disbanding of the S. A. T. C. the class has been slowly recuperating. It had not fully regained its strength at the time of the Rope-Pull, as was seen by the mud and water with which 1921 was clothed after the final pistol shot had announced the close of the contest. However, it will soon be increased still further in numbers, as many members of older classes who have been in service will be back with ’21 in the Fall, to take the places of the ones who have left.

White, Secretary Howard P. Putnam, Treasurer Although our freshman year has been in some degree an unusual one, and although we, as a class, have been working under difficulty, we think our record has been thus far an honorable one. We entered 225 strong last September, the largest of all entering classes, and like all the rest enjoyed that pleasant experience called the S. A. T. C. This rather inconvenienced us and prevented us from forming a united body, as we were divided into two classes, the “army” and the “non’s.” The S. A. T. C. also prevented us from overwhelming our rivals, the Sophomores, and their defeat was postponed until Spring. Our first attempt at social events took place at the State Mutual Restaurant on April 21, when we held our Freshman Banquet. It was a regular banquet, with all the fixings. On May 3, our long-awaited opportunity arrived, for on that date we faced the far-famed Sophomores across the black and icy waters of Institute Pond. We had heard of the strength of our terrible rivals and it was with some doubt of the outcome that we took our places. But behold the result! A crack of the gun, one terrific heave and all was over. In just nine minutes, the last dripping and muddy Sophomore climbed out. We were defeated in the Freshman-Sophomore baseball game. Shsh! Let’s talk about the track meet. This was a two-day affair, and the outlook was dark for 1922 at the end of the first afternoon. But on the second day our heavy scorers arrived and we nosed out the Sophs by seven points. As individuals, also, our men have shone in athletics, and we have stars on all the varsity teams. As far as scholarship goes, we are sitting tight, not saying a word, and hoping for the best. When next September arrives the percentage of returning Sophomores will determine how we have succeeded. Considering everything, however, we think we have done well, and look forward to winning more honors in the future.

At this time almost all of the students were inducted into the Students’ Army Training Corps. The ceremony took place around the flag staff on the Alumni Field. One of the members of the Board of Trustees, Rev. Shepherd Knapp, D. D., offered prayer, after which Charles G. Washburn, President of the Corporation, gave an address. He was followed by Dr. Ira N. Hollis, President of the Institute, who spoke a few words in turning over the student body to the command of First Lieutenant Paul T. Rothwell. After Dr. Hollis had read the Special Orders from the War Department, lieutenant Rothwell formally took over the students as a military unit. At a command the flag was then hoisted and the assembly stood with hared heads as “To the Colors” was sounded. The oath of allegiance was then admin¬ istered, and the ceremonies were concluded by the reading of the orders of the day, and messages from President Wilson, and other high officials. On October 21st Lieutenant Rothwell was transferred to Boston and Captain Thomas IT. Smith was assigned to take charge of the post. The other officers were: Lt. Walter K. Belknap, Personnel Officer Lt. Norman E. Ross, Co. B Lt. Arthur W. Post, Adjutant Lt. Garrett S. Voorhees, Jr., Co. B Lt. Walter I. Palmer, Co. B Lt. Robert A. Bier, Co. A Lt. Lawrence M. Wakefield, Co. C Ensign Charles W. Purdy later took charge of the Naval Unit, Co. C. The life in the S. A. T.

Time was certainly at a premium. All the Seniors studied in the library in Boynton Hall. We usually had more than the necessary allowance for study, so we used part of the time reading papers and magazines, and writing letters. The mess was good, but at first the portions were rather smaller than were to be desired. However, each meal had a larger supply than the preceding one for a while, until a good-sized ration was finally served. They did not mean to stint, but the cooks were not used to providing for so- large a company. The cots we had in the barracks were fine, with good mattresses and first-class army blankets. We had two blankets apiece at first, and later were assigned another. Every night a fire guard of four men was appointed. The first went on duty at ten o’clock (taps) and had to be on guard until 12:00. He then woke the next man, who went on duty until 2:00; the next until 4:00, and the last until 5:45. The last fire guard waked the house sergeant at 5 :45. Parts of a letter written on guard duty may be of interest: “Will write a little now, as I am on fire guard until 12:00. Haven’t had any fires to put out as yet, and don’t expect to, but someone has to stay ‘up and ready to give the alarm’ in case anything should happen. I have just made the rounds of the house. It is very quiet. It hardly seems possible that there are over forty husky fellows in it. It is interesting to hear it quiet down at taps. “It is quarter of twelve now, and in fifteen minutes I shall have to wake the next fellow. I was lucky to have the first watch, as it is much easier to stay awake until twelve than to get up for a couple of hours in the middle of the night.” The drill periods soon became a matter of monotonous routine. We were drilled in marching and in squad and company movements. The vigorous exercise in the early morning air, and again in the afternoon, made us very sleepy by night, and after we had marched up to our evening study period, it was the common thing to see a half dozen or more sleeping soundly over their books. Each day a certain number of victims were selected for Kitchen Police. 0 “K. P.” may be illustrated by the following extract from a letter written by one of the unfortunates : “Yesterday I had an opportunity to try the joys of ‘K. P.’ I got off quite easily in the morning, as all I had to do was help sweep out the mess hall floor, fill the coffee cups of the fellows as they held them under the faucet of one of the large coffee cans. At noon I had to collect the bread (a bushel or more) that was left on the tables, and help place it in an air-tight box to keep for supper. Then I had to scrub up about half of the oil¬ cloth table tops. At night I had the dirty work. We had beans, and I had to brush the refuse (beans and prune stones) from the dirty plates into a slop bucket. It was a messy job. After I got through with that I wiped up the oil-cloths again and that was all. On the whole, I was lucky, as the mess hall floor was not dirty, and we only had to sweep it instead of washing it.” The formal “Passing of the S. A. T. C.” took place in the Gymnasium on December 21, 1918, when the orders for demobilization were read and addresses were given by Captain Smith, Dr. Hollis and Hon. Charles G. Washburn. After turning over the members of the S. A. T. C. to- the Institute, the last formal retreat was held down on the field, and the flag which marked the presence of the S. A. T, C. was hauled down for the last time. It was, nevertheless, a couple of months before the military appearance of the Hill wore ofif as the students donned the old citizens’ clothes again. COMPANY A Company A was made up of all the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors who were not in the naval unit. They occupied as barracks the Sigma Alpha Epsilon and the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity houses. The latter was the headquarters of the company, as Lieutenant Bier had his room there, and all formations took place in front of that house. We were fortunate in having the best officer on the Hill. At least we felt that he was the best, and we should know. Soon after we were sworn in the lieutenant set us to work. One squad was detailed to clean up around the barracks while the rest were out drilling. We were in the army now, although it was sometimes hard to believe, especially as our uniforms were delayed, and we were obliged to drill in civilian clothes. We will long remember those early mornings when we had fatigue duty, and had to police the barracks, sweep the floors, wash windows, pick up cigarette butts, and so on. The other men, meanwhile, were down on the field drilling. It was hard to tell which the men disliked the most. Those on the police squad at least had the consolation of knowing that they were not under the watchful eye of the lieuten¬ ant, and could not he called down and “bawled out” on the spot for not doing the work right. Page 105 1Q1Q AFTEPiMATH l9l9 iQlQ AFTEPiMATH lQlO B 9 At first we thought our commander rather harsh, but when we got to know him better we found that it was only bluff, and that he was an excellent fellow. Through his personality and kindly consideration for our comforts Lieutenant Bier soon had us all working with him to make Company A the best one of tbe three. His drills were not too long, but were short and snappy, with pauses here and there for a breathing spell, or a chance to warm our hands on the cold morn¬ ings. But the time when he got the best response from us was at mess call. We always wanted to beat tbe “Gobs” up to the mess hall, so our mess formations became very snappy. We found, however, that no matter how early we were we could not beat the Freshmen up to mess in the morning. The reason for this was that the “Rats” did not stop to dress before formation, but did it on the way up. It was seldom that a half dozen of them were not carrying their leggings in their hands in order to put them on after mess. According to army custom, we had a Company Fund. This grew quite rapidly after our uniforms and overcoats arrived, as we had a Company Tailor, who gave a commission to the Company Fund on all company work which he received. When the armistice was signed and we knew that the company would soon be breaking up, there came the question of what to do with the money. At Lieutenant Bier’s suggestion it was decided to have a smoker. So the powers that were gave us a night off, and we gathered for our good time in the Phi Gamma Delta barracks. That was the night of nights and the barracks was blue with the cigarette smoke and the music (?) which filled the air. The Lieutenant became just one of us that evening, and took a hand in serving the ice cream and apple pie. There was only one thing that came near marring the occasion. That was when some one or ones (for surely it would take more than one to do it) dumped the “Gas tank” out of the window. The Lieutenant remonstrated that it was not the gentlemanly thing to do, and after a little coaxing “Gas” wiped his tear-stained eyes and came back among us. Although this was supposed to be our farewell party, another event was planned for the day of discharge. On this day, after we had become citizens again and were out of the Lieutenant’s control, a committee was sent up to head¬ quarters for our former commander. At the barracks the company met him and presented him with a gold watch as a token of the friendship and esteem which he had won while with us. COMPANY B Company B started out with a great deal of uncertainty. At first there was a question about men (or should I say “boys”) under eighteen being allowed to Page 107 llllllllllllllllllllllllll m i n 11111 U , 1 0 __fc_ train with the others. It was finally decided that the government ruling would be maintained. Thus during the first few days the Freshmen were kept on the jump. To add to the confusion, the men were shifted about from house to house as squads were formed and changed. When things were finally settled, Lieutenant Voorhees, located at Alpha Tau Omega, was in charge of the company; Lieu¬ tenant Palmer was in charge of Phi Sigma Kappa house; and Lieutenant Ross was located at Delta Tau house. The epidemic of the “flu” and later the inoculations gave Company B some concern. Several men had to miss studies for long periods on account of sickness. One member of the company had a long siege of the “flu” and then pneumonia settled upon him. He died in the hospital and was buried with military honors. This death was a great loss to the Freshman Class and to the Institute. Inoculations were something new for the Freshmen, so that a little story telling - on the part of upper classmen prepared them for the worst. In fact, one man found that his knees were weak at least three distinct times before he said “Hello” to the nurse. Others suffered some of the after-effects and went to see Miss Sandstrom. As was natural with her, she treated them kindly and they soon returned to barracks, smiling. The company contained about 110 “fresh”-men. They were first to mess in the morning, sometimes doing “double time” to get there. They were usually first to drill also. Under the guidance of Sergeants Jenness, Coghlin and then Maitland, this company did excellent (?) work during the evening periods of comparative quiet from 7:30 to 9:30. From 9:30 until 10:00 noise and pies (from Knox’s bakery) were in order. Joe Busey and other fluent speakers complained that proper attention was not being paid to remarks made in the class room. For this reason it was decided we should sleep longer in the morning. This satisfied the “freshies” until those at Phi Sig were disturbed by the Naval Unit as they prepared for the awakening signal. This signal always made them jump for the door so that they would reach the good ship Theta Chi in time for the roll-call. The men were beginning to get accustomed to the longer hours of sleep when one night some one got the idea that peace had come. The whistles disturbed slumber, but when several nights later, all whistles joined in the chorus, they gave up all ideas of sleep. The next day was spent in various ways; study (?), crazy actions, parading, etc. After the great day, these Freshies were constantly asking “Why is an army?” “When do we get our uniforms?” “When do we get our guns?” and then “When do we get discharged?” When they were finally discharged, many found it neces- Page 108 1Q1Q Aftepimath sary to withdraw for financial reasons. The existence of the S. A. T. C., however, did much toward uniting the class, and the men became much better acquainted than they would have otherwise. NAVAL UNIT, COMPANY C The Naval Unit at Tech consisted of about 100 would-be seamen—both second and third class. It was made up to a large extent of those men who enlisted in the Naval Reserve in March, 1918, when a recruiting party under Lieutenant Stolba visited the Hill. These men were rated as second class seamen, while those who enlisted in October had only a third class rating — meaning a difference of about four dollars a month pay, but not the slightest difference in seamanship. Starting about October first, very new “gob ' s” uniforms began to be seen floating around Worcester. However, it was only too soon that the embryo gobs learned the use of the “ki-yi” brush, and the uniforms lost some of their appear¬ ance of having just come from stock, and Company C prided itself in being partic¬ ularly tough and sea-going gobs. We especially gloated over the “Army” who had not uniforms until after the armistice was signed. We were quartered in the Theta Chi fraternity house on the corner of Salisbury and Dean Streets. The house now became the “Good Ship Theta Chi” and the call “assembly on tbe main deck” soon became a familiar one. Second Lieutenant Lawrence M. Wakefield had charge of our training and drill and was our commanding officer until Ensign Charles Wesley Purdy took over the company. Chief Petty Officer Cook was our immediate supervisor and adviser in naval matters. He was assisted in his task of control by several other newly-made petty officers — all exceptionally sea-going and nautical in their every action. The gob’s day was a strenuous one. Starting at 5 :45 A. M. when the last watch called down “all hands,” we were busy until taps at 10:00 P. M. The few minutes allowed in the morning for dressing were hardly enough for sleepy sailors, but it was imperative that we be out in formation on time to beat Company A to the Gym for mess. Many a morning we saw the sun rising through the pine trees on our way back over the Hill after mess. The regular routine of drill and studies continued through the day with short intermissions at noon and in the evening when the “gas house gang” got on the. job and entertained us (?) with some of their tuneful ditties. During the first few weeks a great many touching parodies were brought forth. Later on in flie fall, inspection after taps became very rigid after several battles royal on the Page 110 fW 1Q1O Aftermath i 9 i 9 iniii� iniip ai� � iiiiiuiiiiiiniiiniiuniinii upper deck. One morning one of the rooms looked very much like a chicken yard as a result of a pillow bursting. One particularly dangerous gob was escorted under armed guard to the brig. These events terminated in a series of basketball games. Interesting and amusing happenings were too numerous to mention but will always be remembered by those who were present. In the line of athletics, the Navy reigned supreme. Our football team was so good that we could not get anyone to accept our standing challenge to a game, while in basketball we easily defeated all our opponents. Nevertheless the life grew monotonous soon after the signing of the armistice, and December 19, 1918, was a joyful day for us when, at last, we received our inactive duty papers, and after three months of existence, the Naval Unit at Tech ceased to be. 0 AtbU ' tuH The Institute has just passed though a very successful year as far as athletics are concerned. This was especially true with the basketball and baseball teams, both of which had exceptional records. We were deprived of the services of Professor Car¬ penter this year because of his more impor¬ tant work in France with the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Henry C. Swasey was engaged to take his place as Physical Director. In addition to taking complete charge of the department of physical education, Mr. Swasey has coached the football, basketball, and base¬ ball teams. The present era of better athletics is due to the influence of the gymnasium and com¬ pulsory physical training on the student’s life. It is bound to continue, and we believe that we are about to see a big boom in all Tech athletics. Athletic Association Pres., Alden G. Carlson Vice Pres., Malcolm B. Arthur Sec., Francis I.

Every time there was a trip planned out of the city, every one had to have a pass. Just before leaving, the whole outfit. Army and Navy both, were required to stand a special inspection. Besides all this the “C. O.” found it necessary to give his O. K. to all games and routings. Then the influenza epidemic proceeded to wreck the schedule just the same as any¬ thing else. This caused the cancellation of the Rensselaer and Amherst games with no notice at all. This left a schedule of but four games that were actually played. One was a scoreless tie and the other three were defeats. Harold F. Mossberg was Captain of the team and has been elected again for next year. Paul Harriman served as Manager. W.P.I.

It may safely be said that our team ranked with, or above, the best in New England. Joe Kushner, as captain of the team, played a fast game at forward. He was in every play and made almost one-half of the total points scored by the team. Taken as a whole, the team developed an exceptionally fast and clever passing game which mystified our opponents.

Tennis is a very popular sport on the Hill now because of the fine courts on which to play. These are being kept up in first-class shape. An innovation was made this year in marking out a court inside the gymnasium for use before the out-door courts were in shape. This proved to be very successful and the gym is well adapted to this use. Captain Livermore, Winckler, Bijur, P. Sessions and Chen are the men who have been playing this year. Schedule W. P. I.

Last year the Track team was given up because of the heavy expense involved and the apparent lack of material. As a result of this action, considerable money was saved and the Athletic Association was out of debt at the beginning of the school year in 1918. It was decided that it would be worth while to re-establish track this year because of promising material and the need of developing material for a real track season next year. The first competition consisted of an Interfraternity Track meet which was won by Phi Sigma Kappa. Then on May 24, several of our men competed in the Inter-Collegiates in Boston. We succeeded in getting only one point — that of fourth place in the hurdles by Lundgren. On June 4 and 5, a Freshman-Sophomore track meet was held. The Freshmen won this meet by a score of 62 to 55. Mr. Walter A. Peck, Instructor in Chemistry, acted as coach during the season. His services were very valuable and he did much toward developing a team which will be able to place W. P. I. in its old position as far as track is concerned. Page 122 iQiq Aftermath Ifn I ' 111ii 111111HT lllllllllffS - Ifitja ininnmiK mu Officers President, E. W. Bemis, T9 Sec’y and Treas., E. L.

One difficulty which the Association had encountered in former years, that of finances, was overcome this season by raising the dues from one dollar to two- dollars. In spite of this increase of dues, the membership was as large as usual, and the Association is now on a sound financial basis. Early in the Spring a series of interclass matches was held. Much interest was shown, especially among the Freshmen. The series was won by the Seniors, most of whom were veterans of last year’s team. The average scores in the inter¬ collegiate matches were several points higher than last year.

E. Howes, ’20 General Secretary, W. B. Anthony W. B. ANTHONY No history of the military career o f Worcester Tech would be complete with¬ out devoting some space to the part of the Y. M. C. A. in it. In fact, it might almost be said that the one thing which made the S. A. T. C. like a real army was that it was accompanied by the Red Triangle. After our soldier boys had gone over the top eating beans in the front lines of the mess hall, it surely seemed good to spend the rest period under the cover of the “Y” rooms. If you were hungry “Bud” Fisher would take your money in exchange for eats at the canteen. If you longed for the movie hero and vaude¬ ville star, the “Y” theatre in the E. E. building always filled the bill with reels featuring Fatty Arbuckle, etc. If someone back home was on your mind, there was plenty of writing material. General Secretary Stuart proved very capable as a postmaster and surely did a real service in this line. The Y. M. C. A. gave out pocket Testaments and also held a Bible study group every Sunday morning after mess. The reading room, pool room, and phonograph were almost constantly in Page 155 a iQlQ AFTEnMATH inTTTTTTTrrTTrr ■TrT TrmTrrrrTTTTrilllllllinilllllltllMI Mllllllltllll UU ItllMffig use. In short, all those who were at the Institute during the S. A. T. C. period will gladly testify that the Y. M. C. A. maintained a standard of service which it will be hard to surpass. Immediately following the “demoralization” of the students after the signing of the armistice, officers were elected to fill the vacancies, and an emergency cabinet was gathered which accomplished several things worthy of note. A depu¬ tation team has made a name for itself in the small country towns surrounding Worcester, especially since the trip when some of its members came back with swollen heads which they say was due to ivy poison. A series of forum meetings was held during the winter months and also a large number of students were enrolled in Voluntary Study Groups. The new officers were elected in March and they with the new cabinet have pulled off some record-breaking stunts, which range all the way from getting six students out to a religious meeting to entertaining the Annual Presidents’ Confer¬ ence, at which seventy-five delegates from all the colleges in New England were represented. This was the largest and probably the most important conference ever held by the group, and the Association should take great credit in having it here at Worcester Tech. The Y. M. C. A. has also undertaken the support of permanent Scholarships for Filipino boys to the Jaro Industrial School, Philippine Islands. Harlan F. Stuart, ’12, who has been General Secretary for nearly two years, has left to take over the management of a part of this school. It will prove very fortunate to have him in the school where we have an interest, and we will all hope that he will turn out some good live, clean boys who may come over to Tech later on. He is succeeded by Willard B. Anthony, T5, who has been in the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. and also in the war work. “Bill” has all the earmarks of a first-class General Secretary and we are sure that he will institute a live program here on the Hill. Page 157 Hitatral Aafioriatton President , George W. Caldwell Treasurer, Thomas B. Rutherford General Manager, Leland Stone The Musical Association — what does that mean to a good majority of the fellows in school ? It means a bettering of their musical talents, dances, and pleasant remembrances or trips to the small country towns around Worcester. The Association consists of three clubs, namely, the Orchestra, Glee Club and Mandolin Club. The Glee Club, which is essentially a college activity, has tryouts at the begin¬ ning of the school year and at this time are heard marvelous and awe-inspiring vocal executions. With a coach to direct, and good songs to sing, there is much enjoyment in being in the Glee Club, especially when it comes time to take those out-of-town trips. The Orchestra also has its tryouts at the beginning of the year, at which time a student director is chosen. It does not take many rehearsals before one notices that there is a melody to the sound and soon the orchestra is playing on Tech Orchestra basis. One of the great joys of being in the Orchestra is to play at the various dances on the Hill and note the wonderful terpsichorean ability of various Techites. The Mandolin Club is a rather recent addition to the Association, and has proved to be a big asset. Under its present management it furnished quite a few novelties during the past year which made quite a hit at the various concerts given. Last year, on account of the war, the Association was dormant, except the Orchestra, which played at quite a number of concerts. This past year, the entire organization became active, and although the season was necessarily short because of the S. A. T. C., many enjoyable trips were taken. Members are looking forward to next year for everything points to a successful year. C= lOlQ A ' FTEFiMATH lQl9 i 11 Ujjlllll liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiit iHtrltamnil iEngutmitui STUDENT BRANCH A. S. M. E.

Ewing, ’19 The Society was late in starting its activities this year because of the confu¬ sion caused by the S. A. T. C. The last term, however, saw it going again, and some able speakers presented interesting subjects for the benefit of the members. A new scheme was started this year in the manner of holding the meetings. One hour of class work was omitted and the lectures held during this time. This presented the opportunity of attending the meetings to the students, without inter- ferring with other activities. This scheme has met with success and probably will be continued in the future.

After the army withdrew, however, interest was renewed and two very successful meetings were held. At the first meeting, held in April, the members spoke of their war-time experiences. Ensign Haselton told of his experience at the New London Naval Experimental Station, R. D. Bishop spoke of work at the Hog Island Shipyards, and Lieut. Canfield gave a talk on the methods of communication in the army. The other meeting, on June 6, was devoted to discussing summer employment, and R. Brown and E. W. Bemis told of their experiences of last summer. Page 163 iQlQ APTEPiMATH l9l9 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiimiiiiiiiiiii i fiiMIlTrnTTnrm iitmimiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiir OFFICERS President, Ernest L.

Tenney Along with the other organizations of its nature on the Hill, the Sceptical Chemists was inactive throughout the period of the S. A. T. C., but at the begin¬ ning of the second term activities were resumed. Meetings were held as in former years in the Lunch Room in Boynton Hall. Much enthusiasm was shown and the attendance at all times was very creditable. Papers on various chemical subjects were presented by some of the members at each of the meetings and refreshments served. As the reorganized society has just completed its third year, four members were the first to be given the three seals awarded for the three years membership in the organization. H 5 (Uanttual Perhaps one of the most important events of Tech life has arisen while the Class of 1919 has sojourned on the Hill. The Tech Carnival was founded by the Social Department of the Y. M. C. A. during our Sophomore year, and has greatly increased in popularity yearly. At the Second Carnival a Silver Cup was offered to be awarded to the Organization putting on the best act each year, and to be awarded permanently to the one winning it three times. It was won that year by Alpha Tau Omega. This year the Carnival was held January 31st in the Gym and was attended by nearly 600 persons. The Cup was won by Phi Gamma Delta, who presented an interesting and well-finished one-act drama entitled “Putting it Over.” It portrayed the reform of a young imbibing husband, who was startled into the straight and narrow path after finding himself “dead” following a night out. Theta Chi opened the entertainment with “Mixed Nuts,” in which jokes and songs were the main features. Lambda Chi Alpha furnished a silhouette act entitled “Black and White,” which portrayed a football game and the operations on a wounded warrior following it. Alpha Tau Omega staged “Abaft the Lee Scuppers,” in which singing, dancing, and joking were featured. Phi Sigma Kappa contributed an orchestral act, “All at Sea,” which received much applause. The act ended with some snappy “jazz” which left everyone cheerful. Delta Tau presented “Leary Larry,” named after the hero who rescued his heroine from Indians in the wild and wooly West. Sigma Alpha Epsilon completed the entertainment with “Sharps and Flats,” a black-face string orchestra act. Sophomores and Freshmen contested in sack races, dish-pan races, and sparring bouts between the acts, in which events the Sophomores were victorious, 16 to 11. There were two side shows: The Museum and the Way of Wonders, which were very completely thought out. A prize had been offered for the best poster, and the two best were auctioned off for a total of $7.05. The proceeds went to the United War Work Campaign. The judges for the occasion were Prof. George H. Haynes, Prof. Walter L. Jennings, and Mr. Richard C. Joslin. The Committee in charge was: Stanley N. McCaslin, ’20, Chairman Raymond J.

After “Doc” Bonnet had given us some good advice, we took the fateful trip down the stairs, where we received our preliminary initiation at the hands of the Sophomores, to the tune of seventy-five cents for a doubtful-looking cap of vivid colors. After this we went over to the Y. M. C. A. rooms in the M. E. building and secured our Tech “Bibles.” These told us that hunger could be satisfied at the Tech Lunch, so we went bashfully down stairs to the “Rat Hole,” where Dave Kelleher had just assumed the role of chef. Feeling that our verdantness was too apparent even in the dark confines of the Boynton Hall cellar, we modestly edged our way over to the new gym and watched the workmen putting on the last touches of the framework of the roof. After viewing this, we returned to our boarding houses and wrote home, telling the folks what a nice place this was and what good times we were going to have, hut that Worcester was a terribly hot town. Thus passed the first day, and on the second we had our first classes. Things did not look quite so bright when we saw the assignments that were handed out, but Friday night we had the Freshman Reception to cheer and encourage us. It was held on the campus in front of Boynton Hall, and we shall always remember the occasion, with all the electric lights, the excellent speakers, and especially the doughnuts and cider. Soon, however, affairs assumed their regular order, and with the exception of a few class meetings nothing of interest occurred until the Rope-Pull, when we were pulled through the pond in seventeen minutes and ten seconds. We went home wet and discouraged, and rather hopelessly determined to do our best in the football and other inter-class athletics with the Sophs. After a noble effort, we lost to them by a score of 6-0 in the football game. The Annual Hike to Wachusett, and the Freshman reception at President Hollis’ house were the only other features of note during our first semester. The first week after mid-years, one hundred and seven of us sat down to our first banquet which was held at the State Mutual Restaurant, with “Doc” Bonnet, “Pop” Adams, and “Doc” Long as our guests. Tech Night at Poli’s, the Tech Show, the Tech-Clark Concert, Tech Banquet, Inter-class Track and Baseball helped to eke out the days during the Spring term Pasre 168 iQio Aftermath iQiO until we gladly said good-bye to Summer Shop and went away to recuperate from our first year at Tech. SOPHOMORE YEAR—1916-1917 September 20th, 1916, found us back on the Hill as Sophomores, and on that day we made full use of our privileges by decorating 1920 with their red and grey head pieces. We were still a good sized class, as was shown by the registration of 128. We had the distinction and privilege of being the first class to use the new Gymnasium, which was all ready for us at the beginning of our Sophomore year. The bowling alleys and rifle range afforded us a new means of entertainment in leisure hours, and the overworked bath tubs in the neighbor¬ hood found a much-needed rest, as the gymnasium showers at once became popular. The boost which came to athletics on the Hill with the advent of the new Gym could hardly be overestimated. On September 29th we met the Freshmen on the football field and won by a 3-0 score. Next in order was the Rope-Pull, and on the 17th of October we pulled our rivals through the pond, thus bringing victory out of the defeat of our Freshman year. Our plans for a parade had to be modified, as Battery B was just returning from the Mexican border, and was occupying Main street that night. We contented ourselves with carrying the rope down Institute Road to Salisbury Street, and up that to the campus. In the evening we made up for our short parade by marching to Poli’s, and showing plenty of “pep” during the show. The latter part of November saw us, with the rest of the school, engaged in deadly combat with Holy Cross on Alumni Field. The game was lost by a 9-6 score We had a wooden goat labelled “H. C.,” and after the game Holy Cross made a valiant attempt to rescue their goat. The affair ended in a “Free for all” with neither side particularly victorious, the goat being torn limb from limb. Before we went home for our Christmas festivities we all enjoyed the first of the Tech Carnivals. “Doc.” Bonnet’s little song “When Someone Pulls the String,” and Joslin’s “pretty girl” act will long live in our memory. The Carnival was decidedly a success, and has since become a recognized part of the social schedule each year. 1 he next thing to occupy our attention was the usual mid-year exam week. We took the exams seriously, and most of us came through safely. February 7th we had our Sophomore Banquet at the State Mutual restaurant. We found on this occasion that the class contained a number of good “after- dinner” orators. “Doc” Morley, Professor Carpenter, and “Doc” Brough spoke Page 16 1Q1Q Aftermath 1Q1Q c 0 1 1 Q 1 Q A ' FTEPIMATH L jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiii mimiiiir . .. ISIS Wip B U for the faculty. It was at this banquet that silver footballs were presented to members of the Sophomore football team. The Spring of our Sophomore year was marked by the gathering of war clouds. Little by little the headlines in the daily papers grew until we became accustomed to seing four-inch letters heading even the more conservative papers. As it became evident that the entry of the United 1 States into the war was inevitable, Tech decided to add military training to its schedule, and we formed four com¬ panies which drilled on Alumni Field between 4:00 and 6:00 two afternoons each week This took the place of physical education for Freshmen and Sophomores, and was voluntary for Juniors and Seniors. Although the time was too short for thorough training, many of us have since felt the benefit of the slight insight into military affairs which we gained in our Sophomore year. On May 1st we held the second annual Sophomore Flop, and the first one to be held in the new Gymnasium. On this occasion we proved ourselves capable hosts and everyone enjoyed a good time. Although the war clouds were dark by this time, we completed the year according to schedule, and left for our summer vacations. Many of the class never came back after that fateful summer, as the country’s call found each man ready and willing to do his share. JUNIOR YEAR—1917-1918 The registration for the beginning of the third year showed the effect of enlist¬ ments and the first draft. The number dropped from 128 (for the previous year) to seventy-four. This was further reduced to sixty-three in January. The faculty suffered many changes and subtractions. Professor Davis went to Oklahoma. Professors Ewell and Duff entered the aviation service for scien¬ tific work connected with bombing. Early in the year Prof. Butterfield entered the aviation section as a captain. Soon after the class began to gather in Room 19 with Professor Flaynes, it was organized for the work of the year. Committees were appointed to take charge of the annual Rope-Pull and the Half-Way-Through Banquet. The Sophomore Class had been somewhat reduced by the war emergency and they were unable to withstand the efforts of the Freshmen when the rope-pull was held. The Musical Clubs were started and in October one of the usual dances was held. This was a start for a fairly successful year. Athletics were organized and the Football Team, after some weeks of practice, met their opponents, but were unable to score to any extent. ' This does not mean that they did not work, for they met some strong teams. There was satisfaction in the fact that they did Page 170 1Q1Q Aftermath 1Q1Q !ih ;s i! i|ij Inil mm II- ’ mlH 0 :!

Much interest was shown in Soccer, and although rules were not strictly adhered to, those who participated in the inter-class matches were well repaid for the time spent. On November 5, the Class of ’19, as a whole, attended a session of feasting and story telling at the Worcester Country Club. “Doc” Brough, guest of the evening, gave us a serious talk which prepared us for the announcement some weeks later that he had entered the service, where he so capably served. Toward the last of November, it was decided that conditions at school on account of the war, would make it inadvisable to hold the Annual Tech Show. However, the Carnival was held in the Gymnasium and was a success in every way. During the winter, basketball was the mainstay for sport. The varsity team did well for it had plenty of material. Men were playing in interclass and inter¬ fraternity series games during any spare time available. Before the Christmas vacation it was decided by both the Faculty and the Senior Class, that an early graduation would be desirable in order to release the men for government service as soon as possible. Soon after, it was decided to cut down vacations for all the classes for the same reason. Largely through the efforts of President Hollis, an arrangement was made whereby students in engineering schools would be released from the effects of the draft until graduation. This was in accord with the constant appeal of President Hollis to the men at Tech to “sit tight.” Several T9 men enlisted in the Engineer Reserve Corps under this arrangement. Some weeks later, many of the men enlisted in the Naval Reserve Force and were returned to school for the completion of their studies. Tech men will remember the severe weather of 1918 because it was thought advisable to close the Gymnasium to save fuel. Prof. Carpenter, thus released from immediate duty at Tech, requested leave of absence, and entered Y. M. C. A. work as a physical director in France. It is a matter of record how well he, as the rest of the Faculty, has served during the war. In March, the Gym was reopened, the first affair being the Spring Dance of the Musical Clubs. Then, departing from custom, the Junior Prom, was held in the Gymnasium. It proved to be a success, even though the plans were less elaborate than usual. The Sophomore Class, encouraged by our success, held a third annual Sophomore Hop. In April, elections for the Aftermath Board were held and some preparations for the book were started. In accordance with Faculty action, Graduation was held April 15, and school Page 172 iQlQ AFTERMATH iQlQ vVv iQlQ AFTSPiMATH iQlQ i m uiiiiiiiiiiiiimiimiiiiiini I ' i! in i i ' i closed May 18. Summer Shop was omitted in order that the students might enter active service for the government in some war work for the summer. SENIOR YEAR—1918-1919 In the fall of 1918, after several postponements caused by fear of influenza, school opened with low registration for the upper classes and extremely high registration for the Freshman Class. Class of ’19 had a registration of forty-two. Many of its members had entered the service during the summer, and only a few returned for the organization of the S. A. T. C. When the organization was completed we found that thirty-one Seniors were in the ranks, but the class had no identity. Before November, eight of the men had withdrawn to enter service in training camps. The low mark for the Class was reached in November, when only twenty-seven were enrolled. Drill and studies were mixed up so that we managed to get but little benefit from each. Somehow a football team was organized and time was granted them for practice. Then each company gathered a few men together for basketball and a series was played (in spare time.) When things had straightened out after November 11, the Faculty met no opposition when a reception was suggested for the evening of December 7. Those who attended it (a large part of the school) enjoyed the evening and thanked the Faculty most heartily. A week later a Battalion Dance was held in the Gymna¬ sium. Many had been discharged by this time, but they came back for the dance. After the Christmas recess, the men began to return from service, the Senior registration increasing to thirty-five and then gradually to forty-five. The class organized, electing J. H. Humphrey as President; Alden Carlson as Vice Presi¬ dent; George R. Rich as Treasurer, and Edwin W. Bemis as Secretary. These same men were later re-elected the permanent class officers. The Aftermath Board as elected during the Junior year was reorganized and action on the publishing of the Class Book was begun. As the second term progressed, things resumed a natural aspect. Tech Nezvs came out, rumors passed that a Tech Show was to be produced, Carlson, the baseball captain, came back, and when Kushner organized his men into a winning team we knew that Tech was on its feet again. Then came a first-class Carnival, showing up Tech talent. The best assurance of our come-back was the annual trip to Poli’s when the Seniors are guaranteed the front seats and the actors are guaranteed competition. In March the Musical Club held one of their popular dances in the Gymna¬ sium. Just as April was leaving us, all studies were dropped and the Juniors Page 174 1Q1Q Aftermath i9i9 _ q iiinimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiii •iir started an enjoyable week-end by holding the annual Prom at the Bancroft. After the dance some went home and slept until it was time for the game with Rensselaer. Rensselaer went home completely dissatisfied with themselves, having lost by a score of 16 to 6. We went down and watched the Freshmen pull their rivals at the other end of the rope through the cold water in the park. At night “Polly With a Past” entertained the party instead of the usual Tech Show. It certainly served its purpose. The Sophomore Hop, which is enjoyed each year, was again held in the Gymnasium. The Senior Dance on Saturday, June 21st, was the last event of the year before Commencement.

The extremely short pulley centers caused some. belting men to throw up their hands and say, “It can’t be done.” But this Spartan Belt 1 has been doing it successfully for more than six years. Now, note its lozv cost. At the purchase price per foot, the bill figures ninety-six cents per week or .004 2 per delivered horsepozver per week. Belts means full delivery of power for every dollar invested. The G. K. Idea is economy through stand¬ ardization. It means the right belt in the right place. For example, Spartan — the belt illus¬ trated— is especially adapted for hard drives where pliability, strength and unusual frictional value are needed; high speed over small pulleys and where belts are subjected to the action of water and atmospheric conditions. We make all kinds of leather belting for all uses — large or small. Write for Booklet on “Standardization as Applied to Belting” THE GRATON KNIGHT MANUFACTURING CO. WORCESTER, MASS., U. S. A. Branches and Distributors in All Principal Cities GRATON KNIGHT s “i ied LEATHER BELTING The above result, at so low a cost, is due to the Graton Knight standardization — using the right belt for the work to be done, at a price that it ought to cost—no more and no less. Econ¬ omy in belting means the longest and best serv¬ ice possible under given conditions. The nature of the drive always governs the wear of any belt. Two belts of exactly the same quality on two different drives will make show¬ ings varying greatly in length of service.

The Rockwood is unique in that two parts of the soldered links are held together, not merely by a sweated soldered joint, but by covering the end of the lever with a small piece of solder which is mechanically bound to the strut by a loop of wire riveted through one part of the link. The Rockwood Sprinkler is the only approved head that is incapable of opening itself by the breaking of the soldered joint, which must absolutely melt to open. It is thus in a class by itself, superior to all others. Also manufacturers of Rockwood Pressed Steel Unions, having two ground bronze seats, sherardized, each union tested and guaranteed.
