The mission of this book is not accomplished in brief time, but extends for decades. When the members of ’23 have been for many years Alumni, these pages will reawaken thoughts of Tech, and undergraduate days. It is earnestly desired that this volume may give a worthy es¬ timate of the purpose, scope, and equipment of the Institute, to persons who are afforded no broader introduction to its sphere. Ardent is the hope that this thirty-third volume of the After- math may link the Institute and its newest Alumni with bonds of loyal and continued mutual interest. Close relation between the In¬ stitute and its Alumni has ever been a potent and admirable condi¬ tion. May this Aftermath herald a continuance of that policy and spirit, and forecast even greater educational service, and en¬ gineering fame for the Worcester Polytechnic Institute. •AFTER AATR 1923 Page five AFTERnATH 1923 Page six To Zelotes Wood Coombs Professor of English Secretary of the Faculty In Recognition of Distinguished Service And as an Evidence of High Esteem, The Class of Nineteen Twenty-three Respectfully Dedicates This Volume of The Aftermath AFTERinATR 1923 Page seven AFTERMATH 1923 ■ ■ ■■ - • ■ E ' G-Reed, H-A-Cm irv 04j}f.istmLSaaxaeae2 aei . : , ' R KrMeiss QlttJSdim- W.RVoi cAssiahnt f iilverH-ru Hiili i O-H-Dodkirv a.sinosa ana er JBch ' ior’ -in,- Cki RJ-Robinson.

What sees the pilgrim from afar, Outlined in silhouette against the sky? The Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Whose stately buildings charm the eager eye! Outfloats the starry banner on the breeze From Boynton Tower, palladium of old; Symbolic, gleams the hammer in the hand On neighboring spire, majestie to behold. Since eighteen sixty-eight, historic time. Has wondrous progress filled each fruitful year; Here templed science raised new monuments And kept the torch of knowledge shining clear. Rich history sounds the fame of Worcester Tech, Revealing founders, friends and patrons, true: Hoar, Sweetser, Boynton, Washburn, and their type. With Salisbury, we honor in review. The paling dawn gives place to golden noon. And Tech, in radiant glory, stands revealed; Till sinks the westward sun in nature’s swoon, And spectral Luna queens the campus field. Down gleam the stars on Boynton Hill tonight; The city’s twinkling lights shine far below. While dazzling vistas of a future, bright. Fill heart and mind with rapture’s overflow. L. V. Q., ’23.

His admin¬ istration has reflected the training of his distinguished career. In 1893 he resigned from the United States Navy, where he had been com¬ missioned, since his graduation from Annapolis in 1878, and joined the faculty of Harvard University as Professor of Engineering. The design and construc¬ tion of the Harvard Stadium and the building of the Harvard Union were sub¬ sequent tributes to his engineering administration at the University. In 1913, Dr. Holl is became President of W. P. I. He has guided the affairs of the Institute through the critical period of the war, and later through the fin¬ ancial crisis occasioned by the discontinuance of the yearly state grants. By his recent resignation, the Worcester Polytechnic Institute is losing a most valuable leader. Active in national affairs in war and peace, an authority on education, and a public speaker, his fame has been ever increasing from the time when he was a lecturer at the Naval War College. His ability in engin¬ eering has earned him several honorary degrees, and the presidency of the Am¬ erican Society of Mechanical Engineers. Those of us who are well acquainted with President Hollis can best appre¬ ciate his true greatness, and sterling qualities so highly honored in the outside world. He has been interested, impartial, just, energetic, and thoroughly a gentleman, in all our dealings with him. It is the earnest hope of the Class of ’23 that his successor may be a worthy one. We wish for Ira N. Hollis many more rich years of service. We shall always remember with pride our associations with this great educator, admin¬ istrator, and engineer. •AFTERnATH 1923 , Page twenty-five List of Faculty Ira Nelson Hollis 11 Boynton Street President of the Institute U.

Thus it was not until we were Juniors that we came in contact with him. After the introductory course in Economics, came Poli¬ tical Science. It was then that we formed the impression that all politicians are crooks some of the time, and some of them are crooks all of the time. As Seniors we found Business Law remarkably condensed and valuable. Dr. Haynes is quite a master of literature, as evidenced by his many writings. The great appeal of the Journal is largely attributable to his editorial genius. Lest you forget, we quote again, “Sinning by Syndicate,” an acme of allur¬ ing alliteration. “Jinny” has long been a booster for Tech and a zealous worker for all prin¬ ciples of justice. We should characterize him as an excellent teacher, an au¬ thority on Economics, an enthusiastic civic worker and a real friend of his students. AFTKRinATA 1923 WALTER LOUIS JENNINGS “Hughie” “The Kaiser” “The Kink” “Pussyfoot” “Doc” The first subject which we studied as full- fledged chemists was Qualitative Analysis un¬ der the leadership of the Herr Director Pro¬ fessor Walter Louis Jennings. With our course in Chem 4 in mind, we en¬ tered our Junior year with leaden feet, for we were to have “Hughie” in Foreign Chemical Literature,- and in Organic Chemistry. We were soon disillusioned, for we found “Doc” to be a pretty good fellow after all, even though he did mistake our abstract course to be one in “German Chemical Literature.’’ Even Organic did not seem so bad with him to explain it to us, for this is the “King’s” own domain. Page thirty == WW p 1 r ZELOTES WOOD COOMBS “Coornhsie” AA I) c BK Professor Coombs might well be called the Prime Minister or Secretary of State, in the government of Tech. Deep in learning, reten¬ tive of memory, courteous, and efficient, he makes an ideal Chairman of the Committee on Admission, and Secretary of the Eaculty. The English Department, under his direction, con¬ stantly endeavors to give our engineers the ab¬ ility of correct speech and writing, and an ap¬ preciation of literature. As a professor of English, and as an official at important intercollegiate debates. Professor Coombs is justly the cynosure of neighboring eyes. We trust that the Institute may long enjoy, and ever appreciate the services of our true friend. Professor Coombs. We deem it an honor to have enjoyed during four years, the unfailing courtesy, personal magnetism, and professional efficiency of this gentleman. •AFTER7A7 TH 1923 as “H. B.,” and he is one we HAROLD BABBITT SMITH B0II 2H TBII Probably the most interesting hours of our Institute life were spent under the supervision of “H. B.” (Chiefly the Electrics are priv¬ ileged to say this.) Interesting, partly because we knew we had a man who had wide experi¬ ence in electrical engineering, and partly be¬ cause . . . well, just because he was “ H. B.” As director of his department, he has done much to advance the standing of W. P. I.’s Electrical Engineering course, which is now considered one of the best in the country. The Institute is fortunate to have such a man will remember in later years. Page thirty-one ALEXANDER WILMER DUFF ‘A. JVilmer” I 2K SI’S As we look back on our second and third years we remember with pleasure our associa¬ tions with “A. Wilmer.” His lectures and classes were always a pleasure, a delight, and never an hour wasted. It is to this man, per¬ haps more than any other, that we owe our insight into the realm of Physics, a study which may or may not be marred by the guiding hand. It was the best and truest of guiding hands that brought us through this subject. We shall ever appreciate the rare ability of “A. Wilmer,” as lecturer and teacher. Some are remembered as great men in Sci¬ ence, some as great teachers, and still others as wonderful friends, but to Dr. Duff we attribute all three characteristics. A physicist of note, a teacher and friend, he will always remain dear to us. ARTHUR WILLARD FRENCH TBH We knew that “Pa” was a regular “fire-eater” and flunked fellows for mere joy—we had been told so. Therefore, we were disappointed when the fire was missing, and very relieved when we were not halted by a long list of “E’s.” We had found in place of our ogre, a man rich in experience and in knowledge of theory. Always were we eager to catch and heed any words of wisdom which he might utter, because whenever he suggested a way to do a thing, it was much better than any other. Professor French is a practical engineer of wide experi¬ ence and reputation. It is this experience, reputation and sympathetic interest which makes “Pa” the thorough and valuable teacher we find him to be. The impressions which he has given us at all times were those of a true friend and invaluable helper. AFTERMATA 1923 l Page thirty-two WILLIAM WARREN BIRD ‘Piggie’ Professor Bird, the seriously joking pro¬ fessor whom we meet during our Senior year, teaches us to be more or less philosophic. Many times he tells us that, if we are looking for anything, to assume it as stationary, be¬ cause that is the easiest way to find it. But we must confess that when looking for a “Bird,” we always look in the “bush.” His explanations in class wherein he uses apples and dogs as illustrations are very clear and stick on account of their illusiveness. We have never seen him ruffled, doubtless on ac¬ count of the fact that he habitually carries bis goat-ee with him. His assumption that the students know all the fundamentals relieves them of much anxiety, but his daily oral problems seem to disclose many mental gaps. However, Professor Bird will long linger in our minds as one of the most com¬ mon-sense professors on the Hill. PERCY R. CARPENTER J “Percy” “Doc” g 2AE Percy certainly does his share towards ■= “boosting Tech” through his activity in ath- , letics. We wonder if he ever sleeps at all. g He’s on the Hill all the time it seems. This g last year, besides athletics he has had the Book and Supply Department on his hands and this in itself is no small job. Through Percy’s efforts Soccer has been introduced as a varsity VV sport and the results of the last season have ll| demonstrated his ability. Through his activi- U ties Tech will have a new Soccer field next year, [nj Percy might also bear well the name of the |C; “school doctor,” as it is to him that the students yV go with their broken bones or bruised shins [[’,| acquired in the playful Physi-Ed soccer games. 1| M It seems a shame that the two lower classes should be the only ones to prosper by Percy s Physi-Ed training. If we could all be as certainly help us in some of our classes. ively as he is it would U AFTERAyATA Page thirty-three RAYMOND KURTZ MORLEY c BK B 1 We first came in contact with “Doc” at our Freshman reception and well do we remember his fund of stories and his original way of “Doc and impressed us favorably we have had no reason to them. from the start change our minds since then. As a teacher he led us through the intricacies of higher algebra and calculus with a clearness of explanation all his own and it certainly is not his fault that we absorbed ‘math.’ ‘Doc’s” stories were always to the point, especially the day when three of us arrived late and he remarked that all Gaul was divided into three parts. Seriously we reckon him as one of our best friends and will always remem¬ ber him as the square, fine teacher and gentleman that he is. GEORGE HENRY BROWN Sphinx KKK Professor Brown of the language department came to Tech just this year. Therefore, we, as upper-classmen have had very few dealings with him. He comes to us from Hobart Col¬ lege to act as the guide to all those who would learn the fine points of French, German and Spanish. Since his graduation from Dart¬ mouth in 1894, with a B.L. degree, he has been teaching . in various institutions; Cornell Uni¬ versity and Hobart College being the most recent. The lower elassmen assure us that he is a fine scout, and an excellent teacher. As we go forth we wish him the best of luck and hap¬ piness in his future work. AFTER MATA 1923 Page thirty-four JOSEPH OLIVER PHELON (( 7 99 Joe ATn TBn : ■= Here is a man whom we shall all remember for those “quizzes” which came more or less irregularly. Nearly every one knows “Joe” whether he has classes with him or not. Some claim that the only reason that “Joe” teaches Elements of “E. E.,” is that he is waiting for some class to separate that electro-magnet. It is necessary for each class to convince him that two men cannot do it. However, each year finds him up at the front of the lecture hall with a couple of husky men tugging away at the magnet. As an example of a true friend, one needs only to know “Joe.” His smile and good nature are qualities that everyone might envy. We all hope he will remain at the Institute so that each class will have the same good fortune of not only obtaining the benefits of the course itself, but the benefits derived from association with a man who gives “his all” that we may be better men. ALTON LINCOLN SMITH “ZJj ' ng” “ . L.” ‘Dingtoe” vtr When we, as a class, first came in contact with “Dingtoe,” it was under the subtle and mystifying influence of kinematics so that we were no doubt in error in our first judgment of him. Beneath the outer shell of calm placid¬ ity, which on occasion may wax very severe, is a very human man with a keen sense of humor and an ever ready desire to help and advise the industrious student; but woe be¬ tide the idle one. His patience seems to be as limitless as the source from which he derives his problems in kinematics and design. That he is still able to think along clear and scien¬ tific lines speaks well for the intellect that has w’ithstood so many years of try¬ ing to harness and simplify the numerous wheels which turn so freely in the heads of his embryonic designers. The wonder is that so keen a mind is con¬ tained within so passive an exterior. CHARLES METCALF ALLEN “Charlie” 2AE TBn 2H Although we do not have “Charlie” in any classes until our Senior vear, our first contact with him makes us wish that we had met him at an earlier stage of the game. The hearty smile with which he greets us at our first meet¬ ing is a very good indication of the fine times we are to have with him wading through the mysteries of that extremely complicated form¬ ula Q — AV, and its various interpretations. His apparently inexhaustible stock of stories pertaining to the difficulties of an hydraulic engineer serves to keep the hours we spend with him from getting monotonous. That water is not the only subject familiar to him is evidenced by the way in which he handles gasoline and kerosene. Regardless of what happens to us after we leave the Hill, we shall always have most pleasant memories of “Charlie,” and appreciate more and more what he has been to us. ARTHUR WOOLSEY EWELL “Punk” $BK 2H We first came under Dr. Ewell’s wing in our course in Physics and became acquainted with putting long formulas on the board, and explaining them. We cannot forget how “Punk” would take an easy chair and watch our progress uneasily, as if we would make a mis¬ take. In our course in Physical Chemistry, he delved into the darkest of mysteries, while we stood on the outside trying to receive some light. However, when exams came around, we would always find something on them that had been forced to our careful attention. His lectures in the special course on aero¬ nautics reflected the intensive training and rich experience of his war service, as Major in the United States Air Forces. We will always remember Prof. Ewell not alone as a professor, but as a friend, to whom we could go for advice and receive it. Page thirty-six Not until we saw him at Camp did we re¬ alize just why “Reddy” was the fat man of the C. E. Dept. It did not take us long to find out that his “quantity limited” meant that he was especially hungry. But hungry or not, we always got enough to eat. Likewise whether we wished it or not he al¬ ways gave us plenty to do in his favorite course, “Railroad Shovel and Heave.” He never failed to convince us that we were wrong (or that we would take that up next time). Though Professor Ives is essentially a railroad man, he really shone as a dispenser, some said dis¬ peller, of knowledge in Stereotomy. “Reddy’s” aims in life are to make his handbook over to suit himself, to abol¬ ish thesis in the C. E. Dept., and to tell everyone of the accomplishments of his dog, Chow. Incidentally he has succeeded in being a real friend and a consci¬ entious guide to us throughout attendance at Tech. •AFTKRnATH 1923 HOWARD CHAPIN IVES “Reddy” ALBERT SUTTON RICHEY I)A@ TBII 2H It has been the privilege of only a small number in our class to know Professor Richey, intimately in the classroom. Much of his time is given to his duties as consulting en¬ gineer, his specialty being electric railway en¬ gineering. He is an expert in his field, and his services are in great demand. Professor Richey believes that abstracts and lectures should be concise, and comprehensive, that they should be snappy, and to the point. Unlike many authors of like doctrines, he ex¬ emplifies in practice what he preaches. Since considerable business experience is combined with his teaching, contact with him is doubly valuable from the student’s viewpoint. We will remember him as a true friend, and as a brilliant beacon among the shining “lights” at Tech. Page thirty-seven CARLETON ALLEN READ @X 2E Howja hit ‘B. A’s’ quiz this morning?” “Rotten. Didn’t have the slightest idea of what it was about.” Needless to say that two Junior Mechanics are checking up on a Thermo quiz. “B. A.” and Thermo are two good reasons why a Fresh¬ man should choose to be either a Civil or a Chemist. Many a prospective “Tau Bet.,” among the Mechanics and Electrics has met his Waterloo in “B. A.’s” thermo course. Screws, Thermo., and B. A. all mean the same thing to a Mechanic. The one redeeming feature of the course is the fact that the majority of the “screwees” pass the make-ups. His “scatter ’round a bit fellers,” and “and things like that,” never failed to bring forth a smile from the uninitiated many. Professor Read has the happy faculty of being able to greet a fellow cor¬ dially, thus making him forget all his grudges. It is this trait of Professor Read that will live longest in our memories. ROBERT CHAUNCEY SWEETSER “Bobby” Bobby is one of those little fellows with a deep voice. We have seen as many as three big policemen enter his “den” in Salisbury Lab., and come out without him. There are various rumors as to what happens within. They always leave a small, securely wrapped package behind them. Perhaps he demands that as a ransom and then lets them go. The considerable quantitative analysis which the Chemists have to go through would be un¬ bearable if it were not for the instructor’s pa¬ tience and good nature. Truly, “Bobby” has taught us a lot. We shall always remember him as the most lovable of our instructors. As an analytical chemist. Professor Sweetser is very widely known, and con¬ stantly consulted. He is one of the experts among the faculty whose service to the outside world, brings fame to Tech. We shall always remember him as a true professor, gentleman, and friend. 1923 Page thirty-eight We now wish to introduce you to the man with the unlimited store of knowledge. All that one needs to do is to mention to “Dinny” any subject from sun spots, to an organic com¬ pound whose formula covers half of the black¬ board, and one can be sure of obtaining all the latest information on that subject. In all his courses from qualitative analysis to industrial chemistry, “Dinny” has always shown a helpful and friendly spirit. In his foreign chemical literature course, it was hap¬ pily discovered that he considered the English language just as foreign as German or French. I wonder why? Unassuming, though erudite. Dr. Calhane has always seemed to us to he as much a practical business man as a college professor. The notes we have taken in his lectures would fill volumes. HOWARD PARKER FAIRFIELD “Pa” Vs With the assurance, “I’ll be with you in just a minute,” often have we waited our turn to have a milling or turning job “okeyed.” Or if there was some help or informati on desired or some general question to he discussed, he was always with us. For this man of neat attire was ready at all times to take hold and adjust a greasy gear cutter or grind an abused tool. As we progressed in the science of the ma¬ chine shop, we learned that “Pa” was a great man in his field, with heart and soul in his work. Frequently he is called away from Worcester to attend conventions or sit in con¬ ference with noted eirgineers. Many of us who think we know something about the industrial world have been enlightened by “Pa’s” knowledge of such and such a company’s standing, or a certain in¬ dustry’s history. But likewise, this big man and friend expected the student to be interested and proficient in the machine shop course, and to such a student the course meant much. It was a pleasure to work with Professor Fairfield. AFTERnATA 1923 I H ' I Page thirty-nine MORTON MASIUS “Dutchy ' ” •sc One of the men who will be remembered for a long time is the tall, thin individual gener¬ ally known as “Dutchy.” Those of us who have been fortunate enough to have him for a guide in “P. Lab.” will always have those words “Gentlemen, you know absolutely noth¬ ing,” ringing in our ears in later years, as we are about to start on a new experiment. Sar¬ castic denunciations of his pupils in class were characteristic of him. On such occasions the student diplomatically kept silent, and relied on the future for vindication. No person can say that “Dutchy’s” brain is not well developed, for the man who can carry the logarithms of so many num¬ bers in his head, can surely remember other useful bits of wisdom. ‘ In spite of his peculiarities, “Dutchy” is a complete master of the science of Physics, and many can truthfully say that they have benefited by having him for a mentor. JOHN BROWN ZINN “Doc” “Crown Prince” ATO 2H $BK When we entered the ranks as “Freshies,” the combination of “Doc” Zinn’s cynical smile, and his Freshman Chemistry course seemed formidable indeed. But when we learned that he was as new at Tech as we were, we lost our fear, to our undoing. After we finally passed the course, though, we became quite chummy, and smiled as cynically as he. When next we met, it was in Theoretical Chemistry, and there he smiled alone, especially just after marks were out. Food Analysis was more than a smile. “Doc” can count all of us as friends—his pep, enthusiasm and interest could not help making friends of all his students. The “Sceptical Chymists” owe much of their success to his interest in the society. As we go from Salisbury, and Tech, we leave with all good wishes for “Doc,” and hope that he will remember us as we remember him. AFTERinATR 1923 Page forty CARL DUNHAM KNIGHT “C. D.” AX A TBn : = - Who in 1923 does not carry away among his pleasant memories of W. P. I., a recollec¬ tion of one or more entertaining chats with “C. D,”? If such there be it is only because he was never fortunate enough to meet him. Since he took up manufacturing “lab” appara¬ tus for next year’s Juniors, he has been a very busy man hut never too busy to chat or give advice to anyone who might come in search of it. All of us have been patiently told many times how not to kick circuit breakers in and out, and yet persist in doing it. But even this cannot ruffle “C. D.” Indeed we have seen him make trip after trip to the main switch-board to throw a breaker hack in after we have unwittingly dead- shorted a line and then return with a smile and ask what the matter seems to be. Whether or not we ever attain one tenth part of “C. D.’s” good nature and pleasant ways, they will at least always be striven for and never forgotten. CLARENCE ALBERT PIERCE Doc Lap 4 N0 2H 4 BK I The Electrics first met “Doc” in their Junior year, and started what is inherently, one of the dryest courses on the Hill, made interest¬ ing by the exclamatory “Doc.” “What the heck. I’m talking through my hat, but if you don’t believe this motor motes, go down in the laboratory and try it out. It does because it does.” Many were the lessons in psychol¬ ogy and theology we gleaned in his classes. “Doc” certainly belied his name Clarence, when he could not represent a fourth dimen- tional quantity with a vector. The only draw¬ backs to “Doc’s” course were the prelims, but most of us managed to “skid” by them. Page forty-one CHARLES JOSEPH ADAMS 0AX No student should graduate from Tech until he has spent at least a half-year in one of “Pop” Adams’ classes. The never-to-be-for¬ gotten hours we spent with him were soft sym¬ phony interludes in a storm of shrieking, screaming jazz. We listened with him to the bark of the beast, and then he showed us the heights that were higher. He taught us the delights of good poetry, he showed us the wealth and depth of the classics, he awakened in us an appreciation of art. His teaching was the personification of patience with poor be¬ ings who were’ so new to this life at Tech. Our relations were so close that we cannot merely say he was our friend. No one can fill his place in our lives. He it was, who first taught us that the en¬ joyment of life was an art. ARTHUR JULIUS KNIGHT “Shrirn p” AT 5H This professor, short of stature, and quiet of manner, is, to our knowledge, the only o to have taught every subject in the curriculum of Civil Engineering. And as he took up each new subject we expected that he might not know each little detail so we were prepared to go easy with our questions. We soon found that he mastered everything he undertook, and being a new man at the course, taught us much more thoroughly than an intimate. Besides mastering a new subject every semester, “Shrimp” has a multitude of other jobs about the Hill. He is sole guardian of our A. A.’s money. He is the superintendent of our grounds and buildings. Getting work out of what would he supernumeraries about the campus, and keeping the buildings where they belong are commonplace tasks of his. It would be hard to find a more diligent worker or conscientious professor than A. J. Knight. AFTERS.ATA 1923 Page forty-two V X “Are there any questions?” that’s “Rip;” always willing to help the fellows, freely of¬ fering his valuable time and sound judgment not only ii technical problems but in the greater problems of labor and life. His pa¬ tience is marvelous especially whe i it comes to explaining transmission solutions for the fifth time to those just awakening from their after-dinner naps. His invariable white tie and immaculate ap¬ pearance prove to us rather slovenly doubters that an engineer can he both practical and neat. In “Rip” (incongruous misnomer) is to he found one very good reason for the excellent reputation of the E. E. Depart¬ ment. We will always carry with us memories of his quiet, cheerful twinkle, and generous, genial, inspiring personality. FRANCIS WILLIAM ROYS Spider” 2H Prof. Roys is a rather tall, angular man who teaches Mechanics and carries an assort¬ ment of slip-sticks. His classes are happy little gatherings opened with a discourse on the impending problem, and closed amid the sighs of the dumb. “A problem a day keeps the boys busy.” Prof. Roys is as fair and square as a man can be. If his ancestry was traced far enough it would probably be found that he was de¬ scended from the Medes and Persians. He never minces and “the truth springeth forth from his lips.” There is one thing, though, that calls for attention—he handles a high powered brand of similes and they are usually introduced with “for instance.” We shall always remember the little back class room, and its ruling genius who was ever alert for our best interest, and a hard worker for our future en¬ gineering success. 1923 Page forty-three I SAMUEL JAMES PLIMPTON ‘Plimp’ Dr, Plimpton is a man who knows how to enjoy Physical Science and life, and to aid his students to do likewise. In the Salisbury Building, he instills the wonders of Physics into youthful minds. As a specialized hobby he studies “X-rays” and kindred fascinating phenomena. In the spare hours which remain, “Plimp” pilots himself and friends o’er hill and dale in a Eord, or a Haynes. That he is democratic and human can be vouched for by students whom he has aided to “make an eight o’clock,” by inviting them for a hat-lifting ride to the summit of Tech Hill. Quiet, courteous, friendly and profound, he has left a favorable impression with our class. He is a Professor we shall be glad to see again. Eor his continued success and fame we hold the best of wishes. HARRIS RICE :SE Some of us were in the first class that Prof. Rice conducted here at Tech. He took things rather seriously then and soon had us all wor¬ rying about the convolutions of the graceful integral sign. But it was for our own good and Prof. Rice is one of the most interesting and painstaking teachers with whom we have come in contact. He used to balance a Smith Granville on one hand, talk with the other, and listen to “Jake” Bailey all at the same time. Could a small man do much more than that? Professor Rice is an Alumnus of the Insti¬ tute, and hence has a bond of sympathy with his students, and guides them in a eapable manner through the labyrinthian mazes of the Calculus. We wish that Tech men may continue to profit by his good example, and pedagogical ability. 1923 J U ' Page forty-four HERBERT FOSTER TAYLOR ‘7 erfe” :iAE Skull 2H Professor Taylor is an alumnus of W. P. I., class of 1912. As such he is a real pal to all of us who have come in touch with him. Not only does he take the place of an elder brother to the students, hut also he acts as the connecting link between the Alumni and the school. Though he has been with us but a few years, he is taking a very active part in establishing Worcester Tech in the minds of the outside world. In this work “Herb” is aided by his positions as Business Manager of The Journal and as Secretary of the Alumni Association. Along with his outside duties he finds time to think up little tasks for the fellows in his classes. These assignments are never unduly severe to which the Civils can testify. As a member of the Civil Engineering faculty, he is as much of a success as he was over across during the “big scrap.” His personal mag¬ netism, originality, and courtesy are qualities which admirably fit him for lead¬ ership among men. WILLIAM CONRAD HIMMER ‘‘BUT’ AT We who have been here “so many years,” could not help becoming acquainted with “Bill” Himmer. We will never forget his efforts in our behalf, while we were trying to absorb some of the German language. Inci¬ dentally we learned all about everything from Anaximander, to catching turtles on the end of a fish line. Didn’t you ever hear “Bill” tell of his turtle hunting expedition, when he caught the three foot turtle and cut off its head with his ever-ready shovel? Such inci¬ dents of his wide and varied experience were always appreciated. From extensive study, travel, and reading. Professor Himmer has acquired a rich education which makes him an erudite mentor, a fascinating conversation¬ alist, and a true and valued friend. I 1 tU ' , ' Barnett Fred Dodge 165 Harvard St., Newtonville, Mass. IS on-resident Leeturer in Chemical Engineering B.S., Mass. Inst, of Technology, 1917; Lecturer on Chemical Engineering, Harvard, 1920—; W. P. I., 1922—. B@n Axs Mr. Dodge, who joined the faculty in 1922 as lecturer in Chemical Engine ering, is prob¬ ably well known only by the Senior Chemists. He graduated from M. I. T. in 1917, his class being the first to benefit by the practical ex¬ perience course in Chemical Engineering, then newly inaugurated. During the war, he was in the government service as an expert on explosives. Much of his work was in connection with the loading of high explosive shells. Mr. Dodge gives the same Chemical Engineering course at Har¬ vard University, and residing neither in Wor¬ cester nor Cambridge, is a very busy commuter. He arrives on time; and to speculate that he might “cut” a class, would be as rash as to predict that the problems he assigns, could be done in five minutes. Knowing that a problem a day keeps leisure away, he often doubles the assignment, and bountifully adds to it an abundant amount of correlated reading matter. I i I Page forty-six p Burton Linwood Gray 35 Mount Ave., Greendale Instructor in Foundry Practice, W ' . P. ., 1910-. This member of the teaching force is well known among the students, es¬ pecially the Mechanics. His ever-ready smile and good nature is always with him—also his S.B.,—and he is never known to become angry. We don’t know whether Mr. Gray is the father of the gray iron casting, hut his reputation as a foundry expert cannot be overlooked. In class, he is no different in his ways than outside the classroom—always willing to lend a hand when one is in doubt about some intricacy of molding. His unique way of conducting a final exam, known to all Mechanics, always meets the student’s approval. Never in the years to come shall we regret the time spent in that little dusty lecture room under the instruction of a gentleman and a friend. Walter William Monroe 18 Loring Street Instructor in Pattern-making, W. P. ., 1912-. “Pop” “Pop” should have been a detective. However well concealed a flaw might be, his eagle eye was sure to spot it. And woe was unto the “Sandpaper Mie- chanic” who tried to pull the wool over “Pop’s” eyes by passing in someone else’s work! We shall always remember his lectures; they were very condu¬ cive to slumber, but in spite of the yawning faces and bleary eyes before him, “Pop” was blissfully happy spouting pattern nomenclature. And who will for¬ get our glee as Freshmen when a page of “Pop’s” “Shop Notes” was flashed on the screen at the last “Tech Night at Poli’s?” But not to mention motor- boats would be a gross disrespect to “Pop.” He was always ready to talk motor- boats; that is how some of us passed the course. We shall remember “Pop” as a master of his trade and as a blustering, though kind and helpful instructor. •AFTKRnATiA 1923 Page fcrty-seven Carroll Fuller Merriam 50 Dover Street Instructor in Mechanical Engineering S.B., Harvard, 1914; B.S., W. P. I., 1916; Assistant in Mechanical Engin¬ eering, 1915-16; Instructor, 1916-17; 1921— . “Cy” This is the second year of “Cy’s” presence on the Hill as an Instructor after his return from service overseas. His stay must have been entirely successful, else how had he attained his commanding position? It is a fact that the most of us look up to him. Only a very short-sighted person who has been around the Hill during “Cy’s” presence could have failed to see his six feet plus of al¬ titude. He used to play football and is still interested in athletics. Those who come into close contact with him in Steam, Gas, or laboratory work always find him ready to help whenever he can. Carleton Dean Haigis So. Quinsigamond Ave., Shrewsbury Instructor in Physics B.S., W. P. I., 1915; D.Sc., 1923; Instructor in Physics, 1915—. To delve deeply in the realms of Physics, to master many of the intricacies of the science, is a source of constant joy to Mr. Haigis. He is possessed of rare attributes, which should make his name famous in the scientific world. Among these attributes are, the constructive originality of an experimental physicist, and the ability to solve and explain lucidly the problems of mathe¬ matics and physics. Mr. Haigis has demonstrated beyond doubt, an inherent and unusual ability to show with coherence and unity the scientific beauty of his favorite subject— Physics. As a teacher he has shown a gentlemanly courtesy, and fine person¬ ality which might well be copied. Should Mr. Haigis leave teaching to become an industrial experimental physi¬ cist, his genius will win him renown. Another’s gain, will be Tech’s loss. All who know him will remember his unique individuality, and fine character as a friend and physicist. - k Harold Arthur Maxfield 49 Institute Road Instructor in Electrical Engineering B.S., W. P. I., 1916; Instructor in Electrical Engineering, 1921—. “Ham” TBH 2H Mr. Maxfield was first encountered in the Electrical Engineering Laboratory, and most of us will never forget the interest with which we watched him pick flaws in our wiring for some complicated experiment. That was before we knew him. Now we realize that his “bark” was worse than his bite,” and that he would be heart-broken if we made no mistakes. Certain it is that while his methods seem painful at times he has always been our staunch friend and helper. Beneath his mantle of austerity, is a more genial nature. After seeing him conduct the electric crane majestically in guided flight over our heads in “E. E. Lab,” we have no doubt of his being qualified to move in “high” position. Page forty-eight •AFTERMATO 1923 Mr WaKwan Mr .. ' -... j ' 5.1.’. ‘-iji Page forty-nine 4 GLEASON HARVEY MacCULLOUGH TBH :ss B.S., W. P. 1., 1018; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1918—. “Mac,” “the most cussed man on Tech Hill,” has been a thorn in our flesh for four long years. His methods have been tedious, his thoroughness exasperating, his marking maddening, his teaching excellent. In the next few years many of us will realize that whatever measure of suc¬ cess has resulted from our efforts will reflect his teachings. Those of us who have fallen into the melee of make-ups can testify that a willingness to work and to make use of “Mac’s” sincere efforts in our behalf have accomplished miracles. “Mac” has earned our grudging, yet most sincere admiration and respect. HAROLD WINTHROP DOWS TBH B.S., W. P. 1., 1918; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1919—. We first met Dows in the drawing room. We soon found that if it was pos¬ sible to obtain help and advice it would be from him. We discovered in our .Junior Lab that he was still the same kind of a fellow. Since he is human and willing to help a student when in difficulty, he is well liked by the student body. He is a willing worker and a good instructor, and above all, has plenty of pa¬ tience. Dows, having passed the rough and rocky road before us, has learned certain methods by experience. How different from some of the others! We wish Dows success and know that he will be respected by the student body. HOBART HALLET NEWELL TBH B.S., W. P. 1., 1918; Instructor in Electrical Engineering, 1921—. Mr. Newell is an instructor, an E. E. Laboratory expert, and an authority on Wireless Telegraphy, and related topics. In the laboratory work he has been an able and genial guide and free from any overbearing manner. The Wireless Association is much indebted to him for his time spent in per¬ fecting the equipment of the station. His presence as a member in the Club, has been an inspiration because of his fund of knowledge and genial personality. We wish for him the best of futures and believe that the Institute is fortunate in having him on the instructing staff. HArxOLI) JOSEPH GAY Instructor in Motheinotics A.B., Harvard, 1919; Instructor in Mathematics, W. P. I., 1919--. Mr. Gay joined the Institute teaching staff in 1919 and made his dehut as an instructor in Mathematics, introducing Hawkes’ Higher Algebra. In the four years which he has spent escorting each class through quadratic equations, he has proved his worth as a proficient instructor of Mathematics. Well do we remember his “mathematical carnivals” way back in our Freshman year. Be¬ sides Algebra, he has a keen interest for athletics, the varsity sports always be¬ ing honored by his presence. He is often seen on the tennis court putting up a strong game, or on the bowling alleys where the pins quiver with fear when he makes a healthy swing. Long will he be remembered by the Class of 1923 as a warm friend and a real sport. CHARLES SCOJT PORTER vt: A.B., Amherst, 1919; Instructor in Mathematics, W. P. I., 1919—. “Doc” Porter, with one hand in a pocket of his trousers, strolls out from behind his desk. His hair is neatly plastered, its brilliance, however, is dim¬ med by the radiance of his smile. He is about to put a problem on the board. This problem will be very simple but “Doc” has cleverly concealed the fact. His students wait expectantly as he manipulates the chalk, but it is always the same, the problem is cruel and unusual! Outside of these problems the Doctor has no other fault worthy of animad¬ version. That smile and his ever ready good nature have made him one of the special friends of our Class. WAYLAND McCOLLEY BURGESS B.S., Rhode Island State, 1919; Instructor in ( ' hemistry, 1919-20; W. P. I. 1920 Mr. Burgess came to Tech as a member of the Chemistry Class in 1920, dur¬ ing our Sophomore year. He immediately gained favor with us by his course in inorganic Chemistry. His lectures were j)resented in an interesting manner. We did not see much of Burgess the following year, except a chance meeting now and then in the corridors. This year he has become practically one of us. In his desire for learning, he is attending our eight o’clock organic lectures, and also the lectures in Chemical Engineering. W ' e sincerely hope that he will attain success in the future, and judging from the past attainments, we are certain that he will reach his desired goal. •AFTKRMATA 1923- Page fifty-one AFTERMATH 1923 Page fifty-two Mr. Phinney has been an unknown quantity with us. It has been said that he is a very serious gentleman and has been mistaken for a Freshman but this hardly seems probable. We also have it from good sources that he has at least one of the cardinal virtues of a successful teacher, namely, a hearty dislike of questions. To Mr. Phinney we extend our best wishes and are sorry that we never came in contact with him. We presume that his recent election to Sigma Xi is but the forerunner of evidences of prominence and esteem which will be his. LUKE LEWIS NAKASHIAN “LuAe” Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, W. P. I., 1920—. All those who have ever been lucky enough to take a drawing course with Luke have memories of his fine personality. Without his presence, how sleepy some of those three hour periods would have been! His jokes, his tendency to be humane, and his ability with a pencil, certainly did help the “would be en¬ gineers” to pass time quickly. But woe betide tbe unlucky man who tries to “put something over on” Luke. After it is all over, how insignificant and ridi¬ culous that person usually feels. We wish for the future underclassmen, continued happiness and profit in their courses with Mr. Nakashian. MERLE CHANDLER COWDEN “r mo ” “ cA BUr AT Skull B.S., W. P. I., 1920; Graduate Assistant in ( hemistry, 1920-21; Instructor in Modern Languages and Graduate Assistant in Chemistry, 1921 . The return of Mr. Cowden to the instructing force in the Chemistry Depart¬ ment was a most agreeable surprise to the Senior Chemists. In his official capacity of Laboratory Instructor his accurate knowledge of the course was a great aid to those who attempted to delve into the mysteries of Organic Chemistry. At times, however, his thorough acquaintance with the “graphite method” of an¬ alysis, gained no doubt during his undergraduate career, has proven embarrass¬ ing to the student. As a teacher, Mr. Cowden has gained the respect of the students without sac¬ rificing their friendship, and their sincere wishes for success will follow him in his future work. 1923 ,;e Page fifty-three AFTER AATH 19? Page fifty-four ROBERT GRIFFIN DE LA MATER M.E., Rensselaer, 1921; Instructor in Drawing and Machine Design, W. P. I., 1921—. “Del” is one of the newer instructors on the Hill. As a class, we have not been privileged to follow him through the mazes of “Descript.” From the Fresh¬ men, who have had him in this subject and in drawing, we learn that he main¬ tains the rigid technical standard, but is nevertheless a “good scout.” He varies the monotony of teaching, by playing squash, boxing, and dancing. His record of attendance at Tech dances is very good. We fancy that he was often the “cynosure of neighboring eyes” because of his lithesome glide and agile step. He has our best wishes for his continued success. IVAN EDWIN BIGLER “Pete” “Big” Athletic Director, Juniata College, 1913-16; Physical Director, Bradford High School, 1920-21; Instructor in Physical Education, W. P. I., 1921--. It was at the beginning of our Junior year that we first became acquainted with “Pete.” He came to Tech with a reputation as a wonderful basketball and baseball coach, and the teams that he has turned out certainly have proven his ability. Besides coaching these two sports, he also took a hand in coaching football our Senior year, and although no winning team was produced, the team certainly showed a marked improvement. His pleasing personality and ever ready smile has made him a friend of everyone on the Hill. No class banquet would he a success unless “Pete,” with his array of stories and jokes, was listed among the speakers. Without a doubt we can safely say that he is the most popular instructor on the Hill. CARL GUNNARD JOHNSON Instructor in Forge Practice, W. P. I., 1921—. There is a roar outside the forge shop. Carl has put on the brakes and brought his reckless racer to a stop! After he has untangled himself from the junk we will describe him. A blonde finely proportioned and very good look¬ ing, Ruddie Valentino has nothing on Carl. Besides looking stylish he is a real blacksmith. It really makes you peevish when he comes up to your anvil and with a couple of gentle taps transforms your freak into something that looks familiar. And the way he has trained that air hammer to liehave when he talks to it, would have to he witnessed to he appreciated. ♦ Page fifty-five “Mag” B.S., V. P. I., 1922; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1922—. To us of ’23, “Mug” is more a fellow student than an instructor, official title is “Si’s” right hand man. If anything goes wrong “Si” now I it on to Whitney. “Mug” is trying to show the Freshman the whys and ’ fores of drawing and from all reports that we have heard so far from the he is getting away with it in good style. Always a hard worker, he is only too willing to help some of us poor unfortunates when something goes wrong in M. E. Lab. Having just been through the mill he can explain the mysteries that come before us in the experiments. His good fellowship and efficiency have won for him the confidence and esteem of the students. WILLARD ELLIOTT LAWTON 2H B.S., W. P. I., 1920; Graduate Assistant in Physics, 1920-22; Instructor, 1922—. Lawton is one of the new instructors on the Hill, although he is not a new man at Tech. He obtained his B.S. in 1920 and received his M.S. for graduate work last year. As a class we have not met him in the class room, but we hear that he has started out to carry on the standards of Tech without lowering them. He is a quiet individual but has “the goods” and is able to deliver them. Some of us will remember him as we saw him at the basketball games for he usually occupied the same seat every week. The Class of ’23 wishes him the best of success. LINCOLN THOMPSON “LmA:” I 2K 2= B.S., W. P. I., 1921; Graduate Assistant in Physics, 1921-22; in Chemistry, 1922—. Mr. Thompson is a man generally popular on the Hill. The fund of chemical knowledge which he possesses, coupled with an unassuming manner of dispens¬ ing it, stamps him ' as of the approved type of instructor. He has guided the first year class in Freshman Chemistry, the Sophomores in Qualitative, and the Juniors in Theoretical Chemistry. “Link” has been a great help and inspiration, especially to the men who were enjoying courses with the “King” and “Crown Prince.” Mr. Thompson’s ability will gain him prominence in the world, and his tact and courtesy will continue to add to his army of friends. AFTKR7AATM 1923 Page fifty-six PERCY Ai.BIN HILL TBH 5H B.S., W. P. I., 1920; Graduate Assistant in Chemistry, 1922—. We learn from the 1920 Aftermath that “P. A..” as Hill was called by his classmates, was the prize arguer of his class. He has even been known to en¬ gage the head of the department in verbal combat with more or less success. We suppose that with this advance training in argumentation, Hill must be thor¬ oughly qualified to drill a little general chemistry into the heads of the Fresh¬ men. Since we have not had the pleasure of meeting him in the class room, we do not know his general method of attack. We understand, however, that he is meeting with quite a degree of success and we sincerely hope that this will continue to grow. Lest we forget, he is an authority on questions of municipal milk regulation, having spent several summers engaged in this work. G. S. LIEBECK E. M. SHERMAN R. W.

So¬ ciety (2, 3, 4). “Pop” breezed in from Long Island sound in the fall of 1919 with a friendly feeling for the world. He has persisted along that line ever since, in spite of some heart-breaking setbacks. Chief of these were the fierce verbal attacks launched at his innocent head by an irate landlady as the result of Sunday ac¬ tivities indulged in by the other occupants of the rooming house. All this be¬ cause he happened to he down first to breakfast. During the first couple of months of his Fresh¬ man year, “Pop” devoted himself exclusively to his duties on the Hill, but when he located “Ma” Day’s, he began to slip. While studies claim a good share of his time, his efforts to get enough done ahead so that he can ease out in the eve¬ nings are untiring. He has been identified with many activities on the Hill and has proved him¬ self to be a willing worker. “Pop’s” good nature is one of his strong assets. Even a hectic career in “Doc” Ingraham’s De¬ script classes could not ruffle him; and he has always been willing to go out of his way to lend a helping hand. With him go the best wishes and the confidence of all those who have known him. His characteristic trait of earnest endeavor and perseverance will bring him advancement in whatever he attempts.

Even as Marion, Ohio, recently loomed up in the sun of the presidential cam¬ paign, so may the name of Whitinsville be painted in striking colors and illumin¬ ated to a dazzling brilliance by the I ' e- flected glory of the famous “Sergeant,” its native son. No doubt Mr. Ball will make the ideal husband, for he loves home life. This particularly eminent feature of the “Ser¬ geant’s” character was strongly in evidence when, as the last period of the school week was ended, he was often seen making for the station in great haste. However, the woman of his choice had best beware for until recently lie has gone home every day. We fear that he is gradually getting wild. He was seen with a girl, once, at a dance, but ‘these here city dances ain’t quite to his liking and he ain’t been seen taking part in this phase of the social life of the Institute since.” However, he has been contributing his sonorous voice to the Glee Club harmony of late. How he happened to be a sergeant is difficult to say but possibly some of the S. A. T. C. offi¬ cers can account for it. The training, however, has stuck with him and woe unto the one who disobeys when Ball says: “Cut that out!” Right away he will give the offending party a lecture on what will happen if he is not obeyed at once. Nevertheless, he has stuck to it and has attained a certain expertness at typewriting and hook gauge reading, and we all wish him the best of luck in whatever he undertakes.

When “Ding” chimed in with the Class of 1923, the wrangle and jangle of the iron bells of Mars had just ceased. He soon made a name for himself by leading the ringing cheers heard occasionally from the direction of the Gym. By his tingle it gradually became known that the little town of Gardner had provided one more reason for being on tbe map, and “Gome on now fellers, a long Worcester for the team—and make it snappy,” in the good old Gardner accent became dear to us all. At this time he was known by the less musical appellation of “Rebel.” This was not due to anything in his character, however, but ratber to a contraction of his full legal title. Soon after “Ding” became a “Mechanic,” he began to show a phenomenal interest in mechan¬ ical devices. Wheeled vehicles fascinated him, particularly those which have added so much to the joys of the human race when in its infancy, and to its labors in its later development. By this is meant baby carriages. The story is told, that once, this young man frightened the motive of one of these machines by rushing up and peer¬ ing closely at something about the vehicle. He then turned to a companion and exclaimed in great excitement, “Yep, that one’s from Gardner, too.” We predict a successful future for the “Gardner Boy.” Why? Because of his “passed” record.

George hails from the Empire State. Desiring to become an engineer, he cast his lot and chose Worcester Tech as his Alma Mater. He first set foot on Boynton Hill some five years ago, when he offered his service to Uncle Sam and joined the S. A. T. C. He managed to survive the two months engagement at the “Battle of Boynton Hill,” and then he settled down for four long years of Tech life. Those of us who were in the S. A. T. C. with George, remember him as one of those corporals who took special care to see that all members of his gallant squad arrived safely to and from the two-hour evening study periods. Having completed his military career, it was very hard for George to become reconciled to dis¬ armament, as evidenced by the fact that he often carried his pistol as a boon companion. George’s social activities at Tech have been limited to one field of endeavor, namely, the Musical Association. He has been an ardent worker in the Mandolin Club, and is said ' to excel in this particular line. Whenever the Musical Association launches one of its popular concerts, it is safe to figure on George being present. Little is known of this gentleman’s relations with the fair sex, and everything indi¬ cates that the women are the least of his troubles, which is more than many of the rest of us can say. As the curtain falls upon his career at Wor¬ cester Polytech, we all wish Cary great success as an engineer.

T.” When he says: “I don’t know yet,” you may rest assured that it will not be long before he finds out, and what is more, finds out rightj He puts “punch” not only into his studies, but into everything else that he under¬ takes. He swings a mean racket on the tennis court, and, last year “chopped” his way to the Championship. On the soccer field, too. Captain Chen’s trusty toe has won more than one game for Tech. Owing to Chen’s earnest endeavor in behalf of the Einstein Theory, it is now almost clear to some of us that when a stone wall, having a velocity of forty-three million miles per second, overtakes an automobile, which is travelling backward at the rate of three-sixths of a foot per year, some¬ thing is bound to happen. Recently “S. T.” has been assisting the E. E. Department in investi¬ gating a method of killing pigeons by the simple expedient of producing violent atmospheric disturbance over their heads. In the future we expect to hear more of this live wire. At any rate, those who know him well have found Chen to be a true friend, and a jolly companion. We wish him the best of profession¬ al success. •AFTERjAATH 1923 J! Page sixty-six Born October 19, 1902, Worcester, Mass.; Prep. Worcester South High School; Entered W. P. I., 1919.

He works hard, studies hard when there is nothing else to be done, and plays hard. Oh yes, he is very fond of the fair sex and seems to understand them very well for a lad of his years. “Ben” lives away out in the wilds of the other end of the city, where he claims the cars some¬ times run. Indeed he has been known to get to an eight o’clock on time amid the cheers of his classmates. Such demonstrations used to embarass “Cy” but “Ding” appeared unconscious of them. The wonder is that “Ted” can preserve such a cheerful disposition when he has to turn out so early to the call of his “Big Ben.” He is probably one of the youngest members of the class and so it is no wonder that his voice plays trick$ on him. He aspires to enter Harvard’s School of Busi¬ ness Administration in the Fall. It is seldom that a man goes through Tech with as many good friends and well wishers as “Ted” has, and although we shall miss his cheer¬ ful company we wish him well with his future. •AFTER AATR 1923 Page sixty-seven -Algy I 2K Mechanic The town of Leominster did not know what it was losing when “Alg” Cragin went to Tech, but is getting more back than was sent. Algy came here an aspiring young man and he returns an engineer, plumber, tea-hound and the only man on the Hill who ever had a drag with “B. A.” “Algy’s” life at Tech has been one gay session o f events beginning with Poli’s and ending with eight o’clocks. If there is any¬ thing he likes it’s an eight o’clock, and if he has a ten o’clock he usually gets sore and won’t get up. However while at Tech he has found time to study occasionally, and attend all the social functions including his latest, “Cy’s” boiler test. “Algy” got in practice the week before the boiler test, staying up until three o’clock in the morning and consequently things came his way. This history would not be complete without a brief mention of Algy’s doings with the fair sex. He’s a firm believer in the saying “there’s safety in numbers” and outside of this we will say no more. For further information the reader may consult the bound volumes in the M. E. library. We feel that there are bright opportunities in store for “Algy.” He is a good scout, and will¬ ing worker. He covered an exceptional amount of ground on his thesis, and thus afFORDed a record for the M. E. Department. HOWARD ALGER CRAGIN Born June 19, 1901, Leominster, Mass. Prep.

E. Department one better in making their new “experience course” one of six years instead of five. Whatever his purpose, we know that “Link” has seen a lot of the world and ought to be able to knock off something big when he tucks his little “sheepskin” under his arm and sets out for himself. As for his time spent on the Hill, we shall always remember him leaving his various classrooms with a broad grin on his face and hastily lighting up another “Fortunate Blow” to consume before the next class. “Link” used to take part in some of the inter¬ class athletics, his specialties being track and soccer but we understand that that was just to keep him in training for his exhibition dancing. He was right there when with the belles of Wor¬ cester, and prominent in social activities. As for the future, it is hard to say whether “Link” will go back to Pittsburg and apply the knowledge that he assimilated during his college course, to the carrying on of the Westinghouse organization or go hack home and help harness up Niagara Falls a little more. Whatever his ambitions may he, we wish him all good fortune. Born June 13, 1899, Worcester, Mass. Prep. Blasdell High School; Entered W. P.

T. and joined us in our Junior year, is be¬ yond our trend of imagination. He even admits that Worcester Tech is slightly harder to get through than M. I. T. His chief hobby seems to lie in gas engines, due probably to his experience driving THE Marmon. How well we remember when he dared to compare it with “Miggie’s” CAR, as to the riding qualities, etc. In machine and crane design he is bound to get “the point” every chance that appears. I dare say that Roger has not bought a thumbtack since he entered “Dingtoe’s” Rest Parlors, as there is always one in his chair. However, Roger is a sociable and likeable sort of chap. His loyalty to Tech has been amply shown by “their” presence at every basketball game and dance last year. We know that after we leave the shadows of Boynton Hall behind us, he will be one of the many who will look back and remember with interest and pleasure, the Senior year of 1923. At the same time we are certain that he will always uphold the best traditions of dear old Tech.

Westinghouse “The King” has great abilities as mechanic and “jack of all trades.” He may be found most any time, fabri- = eating a “whatnot” or a “whozis” and he is the only one who knows what it is for and it is said that there are times when he is not certain as to what he is making. “Louis’ IS an ardent devotee of soccer and tennis. He has made many perfect scores for the Rifle team. Although he has done much outside work, he has been able to keep well at the head of the class. His hobbies are photography and- radio; his ambition is to be able to pound out thirty words a minute. Photographical studies make him keep the hours of a milkman. If he pursued love with such vigor as he does all he undertakes, Dan Cupid would be very, very busy. Among other things in his collection, “Louis” has a great many negatives, a telegraph key, (and 208 copies of the Saturday Evening Post, and a few well preserved text hooks). If college achieve¬ ments are an indication of future prominence, we shall all hear of Denault in later years. 1923 Page seventy-one 1 ilMJ OSWALD HEWITT DODKIN ‘Dod’ THB 2AE Skull 2H Mechanic Born June 22, 1902, Foxboro, Mass.: Prep Foxboro High School; Entered W.

Even had he not departed the aforementioned metropolis he would have made his mark for he is one of the “sharks” of the class. “Dod” has pursued his course at Tech wisely and well, and studies have always received the amount of attention necessary. He_ cannot be called a grind, even though he did make Tau Beta Pi, and Sigma Xi during his senior year. „His activities have been numerous and varied as his election to Skull proves. “Dod’s” activities have not been confined to those on the Hill. He has found time to follow “Doc” Porter’s advice to Freshmen and others, namely “to cultivate feminine companionship.” His prowess along that particular line is,—well his frequent trolley trips out of Worcester explain that. It is a foregone conclusion that “Dod” will make good in whatever line he chooses to follow. At present his chief interest centers around Q=rAV by the salt velocity method. Some day we will hear of this gifted member of ’23 as an hydraulic expert. More power to him, hydraulic and otherwise. •AFTERMATA 1923 Page seventy-two RICHARD EMANUEL ENGLUND “Dick” TBH Mechanic Corn June 12, 1900, Worcester, Mass.; Prep.

His cheery laugh and earnest manner have won him many friends not only at the Institute, but elsewhere. He has many accomplishments of which most of us know but little. He can handle the old drum sticks with the best of them and his deep bass voice would grace any glee club. It is said that he tried to add dancing to his long list of accomplishments, but one trial cured him. Here at Tech, however, there are at least three ways in which he has shown his versatility. The first is that he is “Tau Beta.” We were not surprised to hear of his election to that select body, for his clever¬ ness as a student has made him the pride of our various “Pa’s” and “Pops.” His ability in the shop courses and in the drawing rooms has been outstanding. The second thing that impresses us is the fact that he has been employed during many of the extra-curriculum hours, in outside work, and yet has maintained high rank. And finally, “Dick” always has some time for outside recreational activities, whether it be his active support at all our home games or his reg¬ ular attendance at church. Whatever work “Dick” may choose we feel sure that his fine character, earnestness, and pleasant manner will bring him his just reward. ♦AFTER AA TA 1923 , Page seventy-three AFTERMATM 1923 GUSTAF ADOLF GAFVERT Gus’ Mechanic Born September 2, 1901, Worcester, Mass.; Prep. North High School, Worcester, Mass.; Entered W. P. I., 1919. “Gus,” as he is universally known, is a native of Worcester. After graduating with high honors from North High, he looked about for a further field of endeavor and found it in W. P. I., as near at hand as he could wish. Having gone through the usual Freshman preliminaries, he settled down to hard work and began to “shark” the course. Along with the rest he looked into his letter box each month but this was really unnecessary. He had more than usual success in Calc, and loved to while away an idle hour ’mid the intricacies of some problem of integration. In the last two years he became more human and began to receive an occasional monthly mark like the rest of us. However he was never on the danger line in any study, which shows the benefit of establishing a reputation early. _ _ Although he did not go in for athletics, he arose as high as anyone when vaulting the horse from the spring-board during that second year of “Physi. Ed.” In the last two years he indulged in tennis and often gave his opponent much exercise (chasing the balls). Although never prominent in Tech social life, rumor has it that he could be quite a singer when occasion de¬ manded it. Seriously speaking, Gus is one who is certainly not afraid of hard work in any line and this is a quality which always brings success.

Eour short years ago, Vermont re¬ ceived a hard jolt when her only success¬ ful candidate for Annapolis suddenly de¬ cided to come to Worcester Tech. Shortly afterwards “Rusty” landed in the big town feeling “greener” than the Vermont hillsides. But his youth and shyness proved to be no handicap for he soon made himself at home in his new surroundings. We haven’t been able to discover whether it’s his sweet “Barretone” voice or his jovial smile that makes the greatest “hit” with the fair sex, but they are quite responsive. However, “Roller” never lets the fair ones interfere with his main purpose of being here at Tech. “Rusty’s” chief delight is railroad engineering ( ?), and disagreeing with the authors of masonry treatises as to the quality and price of granite (and who should know better than the natives of Vermont? ) We have it for a fact that the C. V. doesn’t need ties on which to lay its rails. “Say, if youse guys” want a good lawyer see “Rusty.” After seeing him perform in the Tech Show as “Lawyer Vanderholt,” no one will doubt his ability to handle the situation. As a friend and chum “Old Doc Scratch” can’t be beaten. From the way he has tackled Tech, we do not hesitate to predict his triumph in what¬ ever held of Science he enters. As we leave Tech, it is with regret that we say good-bye to “Rusty.” •AFTERMATH 1923 •.

Cosmopolitan Club Secretary (4) ; Cosmopolitan Club Vice-President (4). “Grek” tried commuting his first year at Tech but being desirous of satisfying his “fast stepper ambitions,” deeided that Fitchburg was too small and that the pick¬ ing was better in Worcester. He will be remembered for his loud and hearty laughter. It could always be seen that he appreciated any joke, at least he was a strategist to let it seem that way for the sake of the professor. But why not? He had to make up in some way for his oft candidly expressed opinion. His attempts to beguile the instruc¬ tors into discussions of the Einstein Theory and like subjects proved successful, once or twice. His habit of correcting “Mac’s” fifth decimal place was another of his eontribu- tions toward brightening our class room hours. During all four years at Tech “Grek” has been a regular attendant at all affairs on the Hill (also many more located elsewhere) and somehow or other he managed to be accompanied even when it was not strictly necessary. His good humor is cer¬ tainly an asset in making friends among the fair sex. It seems to be irresistible. For a while his frequent absence from classes in order to make trips to Boston seemed quite business like. But now we wonder—Does he still receive chocolates from a fair Bostonian? Our friend is far from a grind and is possessed of a remarkable ability for working the last few days before exams. His extreme willingness to oblige and his good humor will go a long way along the road to suecess.

Tech Nezes (2, 3) ; Rope Pull Com¬ mittee (3) ; Junior Prom Committee. “Sir, all present or accounted for,” deferentially offered by the leader of the Freshman Div. G, was a saving grace affecting many, and covering a multitude of sins. For “Hap” was around the Hill in the days of the S. A. T, C. Later on, he fell out in order to spend fifteen months in the G. E, Testing Dept., at Schenectady, but returned in time to lock back into step with the Class of 1923 at the beginning of its final rodeo. Since then, he has betrayed knowledge and curiosity about things like the speed of in¬ duction motors, the thermodynamics of mercury, etc., such that we would have cause to wonder, had some of us not known him in mathematics and physics. As it is, he stands as an endorsement to H. B.’s cooperative experience plan. Were Dr. Masius to ask: “Mr. Hapgood, are you a strong student or are you a ‘veak vun?’” it is certain that he would receive the popular reply, as “Happy” is a modest man. But “Hap” has done much to improve the power factor of the gang, and has never been known to become over-excited at any instant during his career as an embryonic engineer. As a result, his counsel has been sought much in moments of douht and precipitation, and we have ever found him com¬ petent and willing. However, the story is not ended.

He was ori¬ ginally of the Class of ’22 but sickness forced him to become one of us. No doubt we have been the gainers, but the more sharks there are in the division, the dumber we appear in comparison. Not wishing to miss any of those grand and glorious feelings that go with a real college education he finally specialized on Least Squares. During the Junior year he be¬ came a regular fixture at all the soeial func¬ tions. Times do change however, for all we hear this year-is, “Any mail for me?” During his stay here “Wallie” has distinguished He himself in both indoor and outdoor track, is both a broad-jumper and a sprinter. He was also manager of track when he made his letter in his Junior year. We often wonder if the Gym wall was materially weakened when he dented it during that indoor meet. “Wallie” would like to travel and make money for the next few years. He claims that both are necessary before he can settle down. As a member of the Aftermath Board he has been able and effieient, and is recommended to the Chairman of whatever “Board of Directors” he next serves on, as a willing and valuable worker.

If you have not met “Freem” you have probably never heard of Holden, so we might add that it is in Massachusetts. “Freem” is going to put it on the map when he gets out into the world. The first thing we remember about Freeman was a large trunk-like tin box he used to lug up into mechanical drawing. He said it was for his instruments, but it could have held the town of Holden. However, they must have a good high school there for “Freem” has sharked all his courses as the Greek alphabet after his name will signify. We never hear him tell any jokes, hut he can laugh as loud as anybody at good ones. In spite of his liking good jokes, it is dangerous to inti¬ mate that he would make a good model for a symbolical statue of “Old Baldy,” the American eagle. Perhaps Herpicide will save it, “Freem.” In all seriousness, “Freem” has done a lot of good work for Tech and has brought great credit to himself. In whatever he takes up on leaving the Hill, we can readily count him successful, with his perseverance and straight line thinking, hacked by an ability to make lasting friends. •AFTER AATA 1923 Page seventy-nine uU.

This is to introduce one Albert P. Hayden, who is probably known to every one on the Hill by sight but not by name. What has been a more familiar sight each morning during the past four years than this bare-headed, light-haired young fellow with his serious and determined expression striding over and across Bliss Eield? Yes, “Al” certainly is serious in regard to his studies and never rests until he has fully prepared all his as¬ signments. He always puts his school work before pleasure. Nevertheless, he manages to get out several nights each week, for studies come quite easy to him. Furthermore he has been a valuable member of the C. E. Society. “Al” has surely been a steady, consistent worker all the way through Tech and has done more than his share to uphold the honor of the Civils. Al¬ though not entering very much into outside activ¬ ities, he showed clearly that he was “there” by going out and winning his numerals in his first try at cross-country. If “Al” keeps up the good work that has been characteristic of him during his four years at Tech—and we feel sure he will—• it may well be said that he will succeed in the problems that confront him after he leaves our Alma Mater.

When Max graduated from Worcester Classical High School, from all accounts —which are chiefly his own—they begged him to take charge of the school. How¬ ever, Max did not fancy such an easy job, but decided to go into the drug busi¬ ness and take a course at Tech on the side. All this is just one way of stating that Max is a very smart chap and a mighty busy one. Max even admits himself that he is pretty clever. He must be, to start each day as he claims he does. He awakes at 7.45, arises, performs his toilet with infinite care, devours an ample breakfast, walks two miles, arrives at school, studies five minutes, and enters an eight o’clock lecture exactlv on time. Putting all joking aside we must admit that Max knows chemistry and kindred subjects quite thoroughly. This is probably because he likes to browse in the books of the chemistry library. Why, he likes those books so well that he takes them home and does not bring them back, until our beloved and watchful director gets after him. We do hate to get in an argument with Max. This is for two reasons. First, he can argue one out of house and home; second, he may know more about the subject than we do. Such a man as Max should be able to argue his way through life and into a position that will make Tech proud of him. We wish him the best of luck, for he is a good friend, a willing worker, and he will give the best that is in him to his work. ♦ AF ' K RTAATA 1923 .

He does his work, if he has to stay up till 3 a. m. to do it. Even “Pa” French’s Framed Structures couldn’t make him say, “Uncle.” “Yump” Johnson takes to football like a duck to water. Many are the times that he was called upon for those last two yards to make a first down, and he was there with the goods. He surely is “kinda shifty and squirmy,” when he gets his hands on that old pig-skin, and woe to the man who tries to tackle him. Zowie! Oh, “Johnny” is shifty on his feet alright, but he is also shifty with his fingers when it comes to twanging on the banjo, though he doesn’t tell the world about it. Hard to believe it, but the “Ayes” have it that “Johnny” has fallen for a girl in Hartford, Conn. At least one letter a day means something. Such phenomena are for those who are under the sway of love.

Then the War came along and he did his hit as a Lieutenant in the Infantry, serving both at the Training School and at the University of Missouri, and at Fort Sheridan. After his experience as a “Shave¬ tail” he decided to honor us with his presence and entered. Tech in 1919. One of the first things that “Jud” did at Tech was to get into difficulties with “B. A.” and “Spider.” However, “Jud” has always been a worker and he showed very plainly that he could surmount these diffi¬ culties with an apparent ease that surprised us. He has not confined all of his attention to studies. All of us know the work and enthusiasm that he puts into his efforts on the basketball floor and into the various committees on which he has been placed. There is one thing that of necessity goes with “Jud,” and that is an ardent enthusiasm for the fair city of Holyoke. For a long time this intense enthusiasm was the wonder of many of his class¬ mates. However, not long ago another person from Holyoke paid us a visit, and now “Jud’s” ardor is easily discernible. We wish to congratu¬ late him. A true friend, an ardent worker, and ever a fine fellow, we predict for him the success in his chosen field that he so justly deserves.

Kimball is one of those versatile men in our class, who has obtained the most from his course at Tech. He has specialized in his studies, and in extra curriculum activities as well, and has been honored in each. By judicious balancing of his time, he has been able to be an excellent student, as well as a leader in school affairs. It is not often that Tech men receive letters for both playing on, and managing a team, but “Dick” has conveniently made himself eligible for this distinction in Soccer. As the holder of one of our most important athletic positions—that of manager of basketball—he has further demonstrated his capability by directing the business of a most successful season. “Dick” is a regular attendant at all the festive functions which intersperse the psuedo monotony of student life. When “ye vibrant melodies of ye orchestras” made the Gym or the Bancroft, the Mecca of Tech’s dancers, “Dick” might be listed with certainty, “among those present,”—and he was never alone. We are sure that “Kim” will be a worthy representative of his college and profession. When, in after years, we hear of the progress he has made, it will he no surprise to us. Mean¬ while we shall remember that he has ever been, a worthy Tech man, and a valued friend.

I., 1919. “W” Tennis Wireless Association (1); Tech Nrzvs (1); Assistant Manager Tennis (3); Manager Tennis (4) ; Commence¬ ment Committee. “Pinkie” came to Tech from Greenfield in the fall of 1919. There were two things that made him stand out among his classmates. First, his fair, pink and white complexion; and second, the many and brilliant colored neckties which he possessed. He still holds first place in this line. Along about his Sophomore year we noticed that Uncle Sam was busier than usual, carrying mail to and from Greenfield. The hulk and fre¬ quency of these letters suggested the reason. Sometime later, however, he changed operations to Worcester. We should say that it was to save postage if we did not already know that he has paid the telephone company enough nickles to own a few shares of stock. Yes, indeed, the story of Mary’s Lamb is quite well known. “Pinkie” did not confine himself alone to the above activities. No, gentle reader do not mistake him. During his stay at Tech he has aquitted himself creditably in all his work. He was com¬ monly seen on the tennis courts, and during his senior year he managed the Tennis team with credit to his Alma Mater. He possessed remark¬ able talent in muscial lines and was at home with any wiry or windy instrument. A man of “Pinkie’s” personality and ability we feel sure will have a successful career. He has the ability to get the most out of studies, and the personality to make many true friends—two attributes which prove of great value in one’s dealings with the world. AFTERnATO 1923 Page eighty-five If you see a young fellow who is short of stature, but full of life and energy, running around the hill as if there was a serious fire to be put out somewhere, you can make up your mind that it is Levy. He is always in a hurry to get “There” wherever that is. He is one of our small modest fellows, a hard worker and a good student. His favorite hangout just before exams is Boynton Hall, where you can find him anxiously looking up all the old exams. His theory is that there are just so many questions that can be asked in any one subject and that if he knows all those questions, it will be easy to pass. Certain other fellows that we know could adopt this theory to good advantage, sinee it has worked out admirably so far. In his “Green” or “Freshman” days at Tech Levy was trying to emulate Benny Leonard in the manly art of self defence. Whether it was to preserve his manly beauty, or at the instigatio n of some fair damsel he has given up this ambition and now devotes his time to studying. He has also given up leading a lonely life and now he can be seen escorting a young lady around at basketball games etc. His activities are not confined merely to these, as may be evidenced by the fact that he was on our track team for a while and that he played basketball with the Sholem Aleichem club. There can be nothing but success ahead for such a hard worker and we are sure that the engineering profession will get a man worthy of the shield. •AFTERMATM 1923 •.

In the fall of 1919 “Simmy” quietly took his place among us upon the Hill as a memher of the Class of 1923. For a time he hid his light under a bushel and we little realized what a versatile genius he was. Some time after his arrival, it developed that he was an artist of considerable ability with the violin. Since then, his selections have made many of our moments of leisure most enjoyable. From musical lines he branched, again unheralded, into athletics. Along these lines he has left several “foot-prints on the sands of time.” Possibly the fleetest of these footsteps appeared when he won his “W” in track. He proved a hard man to beat in the dashes although his strong point is the quarter-mile. He was elected captain of the newly organized varsity soccer team in 1921, and proved himself a mainstay of the team in the 1922 season. Basketball has also claimed the attention of our all-round hero. Lest one think, however, that this sums up “Simmy’s” accomplishments, let us add that often he has disported himself in the social limelight during his stay at Tech. Likewise last summer he played the gentleman of leisure and traveled in England and on the Continent. He brought back many interesting souvenirs. As a conclusion we all join in wishing him the best of luck and happiness wherever his path may lead. 1923 Page eighty-seven AFTERMATH 1923 GEORGE SPAMER LIEBECK ‘ Sliver” “Sjjamer” Electric Born April 23, 1901, Holyoke, Mass.: Prep.

Anyone who will undertake to own a “fliver” and a “Chev” at the same time, had better like repairing, or else give the things away. But come to think of it, we recollect hearing George once say that he went to an automobile school just to learn about the “inards” of the ma¬ chines. Be that as it may, however, we do know that he practises the garage business every summer, and makes good at it too. As for the women, they don’t seem to bother George at all. In spite of all our efforts, we have been unable to dig up a single bit of evidence which would prove to us that he is attracted by the ladies. But, for all that, he can’t make us believe that he went out every night with his “Chev” during this past summer, shop, just to get the air. “’Taint done that way.” George’s record at Tech shows that he has genuine ability to do things, and this ability, coupled with his never ending stream of questions, should make for success. He is well known to the Juniors, because as Student Assistant, he has aided them in their ambition to get through the P. Lab experiments in minimum time by elucidating the mystic points. We wish you the best of luck George, and hope that the success due you, comes soon. Page eighty-eight PHILIP WILHELM LUNDGREN ' Phir “P. wr AXA Mechanic Born March 17, 1900, Worcester, Mass.; Prep.

Phil entered Tech during our recent dispute with Germany, and served with distinction in the S. A. T. G. In his freshman year he was severely wounded—to the extent of a broken collar bone in a football battle with Holy Cross. After being discharged from the base hospital he decided that thereafter his activities would be confined to track and basketball. His ability in the former branch of sport is attested by his winning track “W” for four consecutive years. In his freshman year he placed in the finals of the high hurdles at the New England Intercollegiates at M. 1. T. The high hurdles mean nothing in P. W’s young life. He just naturally walks over them. In basketball Phil played on the second team during many a hard fought game. “Gee,” says Phil, “the crowd likes to see me get tangled up, and if they enjoy it, I do.” However, he usually managed to get unwound in time to cage a few “impossible” shots, and to give the opposing centers some lessons in how to get the tap without jumping. It can’t be cultivated—its a gift. With his unfailing good humor and his ability, Phil should be fully as prominent in his life work as he has been during his stay at W. P. 1. R AATM 1923 •.

Clarence, or “Charlie,” as he is better known among his classmates, came to Tech to pursue that elusive will ’o-the wisp called knowledge. One’s first impression of “Charlie” is that he is a worker. Four years of acquaintance have shown this to be well founded on fact. He is one of those who is ever abreast of the tide of work and who can face every exam with the knowledge that each day’s work has been well done. “Charlie” was never very noisy, yet we were always aware of his presence whenever a discussion, heated or otherwise, took place. Gifted as he was with a keen sense of humor, “Charlie” often provoked situations that elicited many a laugh. At the time when most of us would be preparing our lessons for the next day “Charlie” would be keeping company with Morpheus. And if by chance he did miss his beloved friend, he was so upset that his mind was an absolute blank the next day. “Charlie’s” hobby, if we may be so presump¬ tuous as to suppose that he has a hobby, seems to find its expression in “shuffling the deck,” and he has managed many times to besiege and capture the Throne of Whist. If not thus occupied he was probably somewhere tinkering his automobile. “Charlie” did not take part on any of the athletic teams, although he did astonish many of us by bis wonderful shooting of baskets in the gym at noon hours. Nevertheless he showed his interest and school spirit by being present at many of the games. On such occasions he was nearly always accompanied by some all-adoring fair one. We are told that Fortune smiles on hard work, may she laugh heartily with “Charlie.” Page ninety Rope Pull (1, 2): Football (4). Paul is one of several ex-’22 men in our midst, but not because he could not complete the course in four years. He was one of ten men to elect the Non-Resident Engineering Course at the end of his Junior year, and joined the ranks of ’23 as a Senior. So it was in the Fall of 1918 that Paul first came to Tech, hut fortunately his immature years saved him from the scourge of the S. A. T. C. The other mem¬ bers of his division have vivid recollections of his French translations. We considered them very good. Later in his career at Tech, Paul conclusively solved the problem of the rope for the annual pull. It was so simple that no one else thought of it, so Paul modestly came forward with the answer, “Make the ends longer.” Our hero spent most of his time on the Non- Resident course within a stone’s throw of gay Broadway, hut returned to us morally unim¬ paired. We must admit that ministers’ sons are not always as wild as they are reputed to be, for we have listened attentively four years to hear Paul let so much as one little “damn” slip out, hut without reward. We were all glad to see Paul’s work on the football field in his Senior year rewarded with a “W.” He has always been a hard, earnest worker, and we are sure that all his efforts will meet with the same success. • AFTERMATH 1923- PAUL STOWELL MARTIN Electric Eorn January 18, 1901, Chicago, Ill; Prep.

Here he has made the best of his four years, both as a student and an athlete, and has established a firm and solid hold in the hearts of every one of us. “Joe” is a hard and consistent worker, always achieving that for which he aims as is evidenced by the handicaps under which he entered the Institute having made no preparations for a technical training until shortly before entering when he studied and passed off entrance subjects entirely new to him. This was a feat which most of us would find quite impossible. With the same courage and ambition, “Joe” has gone through his Tech curriculum with long strides and shows promise of contributing something noteworthy to the progress of engineering. He is not by all means, a grind, however, as he is a good-natured and jovial sort of fellow, and has been an ardent supporter of athletics through¬ out his Tech career. He has served faithfully for four years on the baseball team, being captain of the team in his last year. His steady nerve and critical eye make him a dangerous hitter and fast infielder. “Joe” puts his whole heart and soul into athletics of all kinds and his constant chatter on the subject never seems exhausted. •AFTERMATH 1923 Page ninety-two RALPH ATWOOD MASTEN ‘‘Fat’’ TBII ATn 2H Mechanic Born April 8, ' 1901,, White Creek, N.

Masten is about the same height. Short and snappy! Reincarnation of old Kid Mercury! A busy little man who carries a “rapid-action” slide-rule. Give him a long formula, fifteen seconds and plenty of elbow room, he will turn out seven assorted answers without losing his breath. He is going to be one of those modern business men (the kind you see in the movies ) who chew cigars savagely and growl. But all stern men have a tender side which they try to hide under the bustle and roar of the world and Masten is no exception. Nearly every day there came from Albany-town a pinken epistle always ad¬ dressed in the same small hand. A soothing lotion, as it were, for this young buckaroo. Fre¬ quently and sometimes more often, boxes of sweet foodstuffs arrived. She has made him an epicure. He will never eat baked apple again. Masten is a fisherman. He inveigles the high- browed trout to bite a silly little fly on his hook. He has fishing stories too, strange recitals involving large numbers, etc. He is a great exponent of hiking, in fact he claims that it is by walking that he has been able to retain his figure. He is a designer (rememher how he used to chat with A. L. during recess?) and besides, subsconsciously, he is an authority on wall paper having designed part of a boiler room for a paper mill. There is no need to waste words in extending our best regards, he already has them. •AFTKRTAATH 1923 Page ninety-three DONALD McAllister “Mac” “Miggy” ATn Skull Mechanic Born May 8, 1902, Adams, Mass.; Prep.

Harold Lloyd alias Donald McAllister! In his Sophomore year “Mac” annexed a high priced motor-cycle. He seemed to have great deal of trouble in getting the machine ready for wear. His first ven¬ ture ended in a tow by some kind class-mate. Any time that “Mac” was among the missing everyone wondered how far out he was stuck. In his Senior year he graduated from the motor-cyele to a Ford. He at once became the unchallenged Master of the Lizzie. His classmates will always re¬ member what a majestic, stalwart figure he made at the helm. Only once has “Mac” lost his dignity and that was previous to the purchase of a “racing body.” The occasion was when.he tried to surpass his ability by taking one hand off the wheel to tip his hat to a young lady and by so doing ended up in the gutter. He then ungentlemanly exclaimed, “It’s the bumps that do it.” During his Senior year he served a creditable season as manager of the football team. “Miggie” was alwavs well liked by the members of the squad and did everything possible to make the season a success. During this time he was always busy in one occupation, that of making the figures come out right. “Mac” has always been one of the most cheerful in our doubtful times and his smile was always a revelation. He has had at all times that faculty of getting by his studies without the least worry. We all know that he will have a great future and here are the best wishes to him.

During our first two years at Tech we did not see much of Meigs outside of the class rooms. He worked every night and Saturday afternoons for these first two years, except for a few special occasions when he took a night off. We cannot understand how he did it, but he was with us at the finale. Because he got away with it the way he did at first, we were surprised to see that Mechanics worried him slightly during his Junior year. But only a few knew that he was annoyed, for it was characteristic of him to pass off his cares, and he generally succeeded in having those around him forget their troubles also. A favorable way for him to show that he was happy was with his toes. He would make a good partner for Ruth St. Dennis. He really surprised us at the end of our Junior year. We almost thought that he was seriously considering the engineering profession. He actually spent one summer at the Arcade Malle¬ able Iron Works. In the evening, after he had spent a strenuous day at the foundry, one would sometimes find him seated on an Elm Park bench with his head tilted skyward. He would be studying the stars. He became quite proficient in this illuminating subject, for he could actually point out the big dipper and the north star with unfailing accuracy at the close of the summer months. As Art Editor on the Aftermath, he has pro¬ duced or supervised all the designs and sketches which enhance this volume. If the past four years are to be taken as a sample of his future, we predict that he will make a name for himself. •AFTER7AATH 1923 Page ninety-five WALTER WEBSTER METCALF “Mef” TBn 2AE 2H Mechanic Born June 23, 1899, Irasburg, Ver¬ mont; Prep.

He then regis¬ tered at Clark. The records show that to be the only mistake the man has made to date. He came to, soon, and has sailed straight since. Not content with getting good marks, as many of us would have been, he has delved deep into each subject, and many a late hour has been spent solving a “sticker” that never came up in recitations: it was solved. “Ma Day’s” knew him in his Freshman year, but he was well armed against the onslaughts of Worcester’s fairest, and found time to get up on the Canadian border to see the girl back home as often as most of us could leave town. His own horn was the one he didn’t blow and his quiet reserve fooled us for some time as to the man beneath. His good nature, quick sym¬ pathy and helping hand, have made his friendship delightful; his loyalty, courage and determination, have made that friendship a source of inspiration to many. Well wishing is superfluous. When he has achieved high place in his profession, let‘s drop in on “Met” and the Mrs. and say “I told you so.” -AFTERinATH 1923- Page ninety-six PERCIVAL EARL MEYER “Perce” “P” ATil Chemist Born June 10, 1901, Westfield, Mass; Prep. Westfield High School; Enter¬ ed W. P. I., 1919. To many, “Perce” must seem to be a quiet fellow. His attitude in laboratory is epitomized by the fact that if he sees that the class is going to put in a lazy afternoon, he will not stav. “Perce” knows where there is a quieter, cooler, and more restful place. And speaking of sleep— he must be among the best sleepers at Tech or perhaps of Worcester County. There is a saying that exceptions prove the rule. So here is an exception. “P. E.” had been enjoying himself at a dance in Boston. When it was over, he looked at his watch to determine whether the time was right for bed. The watch showed that the night hours had passed and indicated the time of day! He would have to wait nearly sixteen hours for it to he night again. With almost supernatural con¬ trol “P. E.” led himself to the railroad station, although the trees did nod, the policemen yawned, and the locomotives snored. The train got in Worcester just in time for him to make a King’s Organic eight o’clock. It is known that Meyer is fond of roving through the woods around Chester with a gun. And speaking of hunting reminds one of an adventure which befell our hero during a school recess, when, desirous of calling on a girl in Springfield, he journeyed to that city, roamed through a labyrinth of streets, and sought for her in all sorts of places. Anyway, he finally had to call her up from a telephone booth to find out just where his wanderings had taken him. We shall never forget “Perce” who has been our jovial companion for four years. Page ninety-seven WESTON MORRILL “Wes’’ TBH Chemist Born September 1, 1903, Worcester, Mass.; Prep. South High School, Wor¬ cester, Mass.; Entered W. P. I., 1919. “Wes” came to Tech from South High, possessed of a youthful and demure ap¬ pearance, and a hidden longing for hard work. These three characteristics are stiR true. Although Morrill is one of the youngest in the class, he is also one of the most studious. During four years he has persistently scorned all diversions, and has scored consistently in all branches of study. Lurthermore, he has a high score in chemical glassware breakage. Were Washington Irving alive, he would no doubt produce an immortal description of Weston as he appeared in his daily walk to the Institute. Topping the eminence near Institute Road, and crossing the upper portion of Bliss field with measured tread, he might be seen. His dark suit or overcoat was usually set off by a “nifty” gray cap, and a white tie. A satchel full of food for thought, and a tin grip containing other kinds of food, weighted one arm or else were carried opposite for ballast. We had hopes of pointing out “Wes” as one to whom Terpischore made vain appeal, but were thwarted in our intentions when he began to enjoy the Gym floor when the basketball team dispersed after each game. “Wes” has always been glad to share his knowledge with the men in his division, and has worked hard in any college endeavor when his aid was solicited. There is no doubt that he has absorbed a profound assortment of chemical knowledge during his course, and we foresee the progress which is bound to be his. We know that our hopes invested in him will return large dividends. rERinTvra 1923 Page ninety eight RAYMOND DEWEY MORRISON Ray” “Deivcy “Admiral” cI iK Skull Electric Born May 7, 1898, Newport, R.

Finding the studies easy, he w ' ent out for athletics his second year, and here begins his well known career. Football and track—Captain of Track his Junior year and Captain of Football in his Senior year—an enviable record and a worthy tribute to a man of his character and ability. A record of service,—for God, for Country, for Alma Mater—endows him with a happiness which comes only with a sense of service well done. As it is with all great men, it is not best to delve too far into Dewey’s private life at Tech. But a few glimpses, known to so many of us, show his sterling worth and boundless heart. To have known Dewey is to have known the value of a true friend, and it is wishing him the best, to hope that the future may bring him all that he deserves. Dewey knows what the Governor said.

George, a product of Worcester, gradu¬ ated from South High with honors and chose Tech for his future Alma Mater. He became prominent at our first Fresh¬ man class meeting by being elected president of over two hundred yearlings. News that George was an athlete of no mean calibre brought joy to the hearts of the freshmen. Track has been his major sport while here at Tech and in that he has been a master of the field events. Although he was on the Freshman football team the varsity has not been able to claim him. His intentions when entering Tech were to become a product of “H. B.” but his final decision was to enter “Piggie’s” pen of learning. As a scholar George is very thorough, for once he masters a thing it is branded indelibly in his mind and is never lost. George’s strong point in his four years’ sojourn on the Hill has been to be on “time” for all his classes. Yes it is his regular habit to come puff¬ ing in just as the ring of the last bell is dying out. In fact he is so regular that we could set our watches any morning at “Dingtoe’s” machine design class by just noting George’s arrival on the scene. However, it is better to be just on time than not at all. George is one of those who have conquered the Institute in four years and we know that he will uphold dear old Tech’s reputation when we part after commencement.

You see a fellow plodding up the hill, at the same time admiring the various aspects of the ground, with a few books carefully tucked under his arm, and—yes —there is one more characteristic, his hands are always in a certain position, namely in his pockets. This fellow, we all recognize as “Al” and a genial wel¬ coming smile is forthcoming upon his meeting those acquainted with the art of Nova Scotia wit and others. “Kid” Waterman” has the reputation among his classmates of possessing a very analytical mind—in short—being among the brainy of his class. His usual concise answers are some of the many proofs of this. As a result, Tau Beta Pi has initiated him into membership. Such minor things as “Dingtoe’s” design prob¬ lems did not seem to worry him a great deal as “Dingtoe” invariably produced the long-awaited answer sooner or later. However it is a question, what “Al” was thinking about other than the art of placing thumb tacks in their normal position in other peoples’ chairs. “Al” has the faculty of being very congenial without being talkative. This is noticeable upon meeting bim at any time. As one of the most likeable fellows in our class, is the way we shall all remember “Al,” surmising however that, sooner or later, some members of the gentler sex will be his guiding spirit.

Sceptical Chvmists, Councillor (2, 3, 4). Hud came to W. P. I. from the forests of North Leominster ’way back in ’19, resolved to show what those forests could produce in the way of chemical timber. His first successes, however, were evi¬ denced by the query of Mr. Gay in calc, relative to the peculiar adaptation of Leominster to the raising of “math sharks.” Since then, he has come into his own, and has amazed all the chemists with the multiplicity of chemical stunts it is possible to perform. “Hud’s” particular hobby is the noble game of tennis, and so unimportant an affair as an afternoo n of lab. has no power to keep him from his beloved courts. He counts that day wasted which has not seen him with a racket for at least one hour. If it weren’t for squash, he would probably hibernate during tbe winter, but his proficiency in smashing rackets on the walls of the squash courts keeps him amused until spring. Howard has a wonderful system of keeping his organic notes card indexed, and can, without difficulty, discover the peculiar properties of any known organic compound in not more than three quarters of an hour. It seems to be a success, though, for what he does to those eight o’clock quizzes is a crime, or should be—depriving Dr. Jennings of much of his amusement. Although Howard is a quiet lad, he usually manages to take in his share of the events on the hill, and so far as one could observe, he has not appeared particularly lonely. lie is a classmate worth having, and we are glad of the opportunity which has been ours. 192 Page one hundred two RALPH DEDERER PAUL “5 m ilax” TBn 0X A.I.E.E.

Had one happened to wander about the Institute back in 1919, he would have seen one particular fellow, noted for that “smile,” wandering about wondering why more courses were not included in the Ereshman curriculum. However, as time passed, Paul concluded that “Dutchie” and “Doc” had mapped out the work all right and there was plenty, even for a “freshie” to do. “Smiley came to us from the small town of Southbridge and this was his first sojourn away from home. However, he was well taken care of. Southbridge is not far from Worcester, and as a result, he didn’t really “come into his own” until he left us one summer to travel to Camden, New Jersey, to learn the soup business with Joseph Campbell Company. “Smiley” spends most of his time ascertaining how late one can stay up at night reading “Whiz Bang” and a certain “Pv” course known as “Thermo,” and still get up in time to make his class. 1’his probably accounts for those slippers in the class-room. “Smiley” has faced the wintry blasts of Boynton Hill, and smiled in the snug security ol h!s leather vest; he has drawn clever sketches in spare time, and has been honored by T. B 11. We consider these sufficient evidences to itidicate to the gentle reader, his versatility. He has always shown ability, and we feel as¬ sured that he will make good as an engineer.

Rope Pull (2) ; Junior Prom Commit¬ tee (3). “Penny” came to Worcester in the fall of ’18 with the confident expectation of revising the traditions and precedents of college. ’Tis true, at least, that many men reverted to blouses and short pants at his arrival, but we are not certain that they did so to meet him. Since then he has lost part of his original intentions and is more desirous of attaining what others have done than of setting new standards, though he can still study thermo when there is no other entertainment in sight. At forge practice, while following “Johnny’s” example of a few light strokes of the hammer on the sparkling joint of a chain link, he found it necessary, though inconvenient, to remain beside his own fire to pre¬ vent the chain becomino; fuel. After the completion of his Junior year “Penny” decided to consult with the Westinghouse Co. for a while and glean such bits of information as might be easily acquired. His favorable com¬ ments clearly state his approval of the plan regardless of the necessity of returning to a rival class. “Penny” has also lost part of his admiration for our beautiful city and parks in spite of the favorable contrast with his recent habitation, but we cannot discuss the matter. Indeed, we are glad to learn that his future place of employment holds his attention, and are certain that he will arrive at an important position and fill it well.

Homer is another Worcester man who. in the fall of 1919 decided to make W. P. I. his Alma Mater. In so doing he certainly made no mistake, for he has accomplished great things in his four years. Can we ever forget the football games when Homer, a tower of strength to the team, was called upon time and time again to put the ball ahead for Tech? And he was the man who always came through. Again with the track team he showed his strength and skill with the weights. And still again with the class athletic teams Homer invariably proved himself a reliable mainstay. It is seldom that a man who makes such a name for himself in athletics gets along without consid¬ erable worry as to his scholastic standing. But why should Homer worry? We class him as a good fellow rather than as a grind, but in studies again he has come through with credit. They tell us that a man in college with a car at his disposal is apt to get into trouble. We know that Homer can drive the Essex to beat h—, and many are the good times that the fellows have had whom he has taken on the trips, but no one can say that it has kept him away from his studies. We shall always remember Homer as one of the big men of the class, and his friendship as one of the assets of our life at Tech. ix; 131 AFTKRMATA 1923 Page one hundred five RALPH CLARENCE PIERCE ‘Fiercy” “Doc ' Mechanic Born December 11, 1901, Putnam. Conn.; Prep. Putnam High School; Entered W. P. I., 1919. When one starts to talk about our friend Pierce there is certainly enough subject matter, for he is a nice big fellow. To begin with, his two salient features are, without a doubt, his hair and his laugh. His light-hued locks when first he came to Tech were arranged most decorously with a part running along the left side of his leonine head. But now, those tresses are divided exactly in the middle and are draped to either side after the fashion now prevalent among the college life-ers. Then his laugh, it is similar to a baby volcano going into action. It starts with a slight rumbling, increases in violence, becomes a roar—by this time “Piercy” is heaving as all good volcanoes do and shaking everything within a small mile. The first years he spent at Tech passed quietly, with commendable regularity,—that is with the exception of an occasional nocturnal expedition to Paine Street. But, folks, it is my duty as a con¬ scientious biographer to record also the events of his last years in Worcester. Saturday Evening Posts and women! Whole week-ends devoted to the former, while we can only surmise how many happy hours were spent in “gentle companiee.” I do not think that Pierce has decided that any particular form of work appears alluring, but if I were asked to suggest, I would mention the cold storage or ice business. His knowledge of re¬ frigeration is simply ridiculous! But no matter what he takes up as his life work, even if he goes into the poultry business, he will make good for he always does and we give him the best regards in our possession.

Having learned the drug business, while he was in High school, he found that his services in that line were constantly in demand during his four years at Tech. Being profession¬ ally engaged however, did not stop him from doing thorough work in his studies and engaging in major Tech activities. His record for general accomplishment and planning of time is one seldom duplicated and is a great tribute to his ability. “Lee’s” versatilitv is remarkable. That he was a deep-thinking chemist was evidenced especially when he gave his lectures to the Sceptical Chy¬ mists. He was equally at home when playing the piano at some formal party or lor Professor Carpenter’s Gymnasium classes. As an author his fame is national, while his public speaking ability led to his selection as class orator. At this early age, he has won more prizes than come to many people in a lifetime. Erom a held of 700 contestants he won the first prize of SlOO for his essay on “Who was John Hancock.” As Editor-in-Chief of this Aftkrm.vi ' H, Leon has worked untiringly and has done the class a real service.

During his first two years on the Hill he confined his attention mostly to his studies and the record he made is one to be proud of. After convincing himself that all courses were easy “Ed” never let his studies interfere with his activities. Whenever he tackled anything he always did his best and this is one of the chief factors in his success. To all outward appearances Reed is a quiet fellow but when one becomes acquainted with him he is found to be as full of life as the next one. He never has much to say about the ladies but evidently believes that variety is the spice of life for he is very seldom seen with the same one twice. It has been found out recently that “Ed” is a regular attendant at “Ma” Day’s on Saturday nights. So far as is known his heart is still intact but when he loses it some one will obtain integrity and true worth. During his four years on the Hill he has formed a great many friendships. All of “Sam’s” friends know him to be staunch and true and always looking on tbe bright side of life. We all know that Reed will make a success in life.

By the way, did you know that when in Lowell he was commanding officer in the high school’s military organization, and the recipient of some other very high local honors. Rice is a good fellow by birth; an engineer by training; and a lover of per¬ fumery and ladies by nature. His classmates have learned to respect him and although we cannot call him a grind he has worked hard and stood well in his studies. However, “C.

In the early fall of 1919, Rice, one of our “foreign” students, came here from the far North. His life at Tech was un¬ eventful during the first two years except for making a good impression upon the professors about his studies. His third year started off with a crash, for it was early in the fall that “Jerry” was telling many of his classmates that he needed a large steak. He sure did acquire a large appetite during the summer. After this event “Jerry” took his fatal step, that was to leave the bachelors’ club and join the “married men.” This was done in the Spring of his Junior year when the noted Prom took place. In the fall of his last year he could be found late every afternoon on the football field filling the position of right tackle. He also made his letter in that sport in his Junior year. But as for every week-end, “Jerry” could not be found around Tech. Where was he? Guess! The only trouble his last year was that there were not enough dances held at Tech. His ever present smile and hearty way have always made him popular in the class and well liked by all with whom he has come in contact. .TVra 19 Page one hundred ten DAVID FREDERICK RICHARDSON ‘ Deacon’ “Deac” TBII 2H Chemist Born November 23, 1901, Leominster, Mass.; Prep.

If it were anyone else but “Deac” we would think that he was kidding us when he says that there is no other attrac¬ tion than the city. As he is a confirmed bachelor, we feel certain that there is no girl at the bottom of it. There was a rumor that he attended a dance once but we have to be shown before we believe questionable stories like that. David is one of those fellows who is always up to something. Many a time we have expected to see “Deac” look blank when he w ' as suddenly interrupted from fooling by a professor calling upon him to recite. He fooled us every time and gave a more perfect recitation than the rest of us who had been paying attention!?) could have. The laboratory will not seem the same without “Deac” to enliven it. He has attained by earnest endeavors the highest title which it is possible to receive in the laboratory, “Chief Knight of the Wash-hottle.” He is a master hand at making wash-hottles of every description. We will always laugh when we remember the duel which he and Max had when they substituted hydraulic power (from the faucet) for lung p ower, thereby wetting everything in the laboratory including them¬ selves and all the rest of us who lacked ample protection. We will all miss “Deac” when it comes to pass that our paths must part. He is a good sport and is held in high esteem by all of us.

He returned as a “shavetail” and entered Tech in the fall of 1919, resolved to he- come a Civil Engineer. We will always connect his six feet of calm assurance with various helching tobacco burners, which were his inseparable companions. During the first few months he drowsed over Kipling and O’Henry. When he ever did his studying was a mystery. It was not very long, however, before visits to Greendale took the place of his literary musings. It was still uncertain when his studying was done, and yet it was done for he was honored by Tau Beta Pi in his Junior year. His valuable aid in arranging successful dances has been recognized by his appointment to dance committees. The C. E. Society has enjoyed his membership, as that of a valuable and interested member. He held down the position of center on the football team during the Senior year despite the fact that he had to part with his pipe. It was like depriving a man of his best friend, but it all goes to show his great will-power. Nevertheless when “Ken” lights up he is ready to tackle the hardest problem or to be the finest pal ever.

His faithful and conscientious hard work for his college and his class is appreciated by every¬ body and his classmates have shown their appreciation of his ability by electing him to the various class offices which he has held. His activities are wide in scope, ranging from music to matters of business administration. He has been a valuable member of the Mandolin Club, while his business ability has made him business manager of the Tech Neivs, and adver¬ tising Manager of the 1923 Aftermath. How¬ ever, in spite of his various activities, “Jimmie” has pursued his studies in a manner that is really a great credit to him. “P. J.” has kept quite aloof from the fairer sex while at Tech. This not because he is a woman hater by any means, but rather because there is a certain girl in Boston who is just about right, in his estimation. His sincerity and modesty in all his endeavors have made an enviable place for him in the esteem of his classmates and teachers. From the way he has tackled things at Tech we feel sure that success in the bigger things of life is assured him. AFTER AATA 1923 Page one hundred thirteen CARL SHERWOOD ROYS “C.

When in class or recitation his quiet, unimposing attitude and placid countenance were evidence that for him the classroom had no terrors. Although always denying that he was a “shark” he ranked high in his class and was elected to TBIl without apparent y effort on his part. Roys was one of the several electrics who decided to postpone his graduation for a year and acquire some practical experience. His choice led him to the Western Electric Company where we know that he made the most of his opportunities. I Is Carl diffident or have the charms of the fair sex no attractions for him? He was never known i[ ' to look twice at a girl, but we have a suspicion that there is a maid in Greenfield and that it is not his sister. In spite of his excellent schol- I astic record we fear that “C. S.” will leave the Hill with a heavy heart. His highest ambition remains unfulfilled and “Dave’s” scales are still intact. However, time heals all sorrows and when ! ' Carl becomes a successful engineer we feel sure ilj’l that he will remember this simply as a minor ' ' ' disappointment in life.

He still has a serious disposition, but it is very evident that his thoughts are not all concerned with the sober side of life. The query “Where did you go last night?” may bring forth, “Oh, I went down to ‘Ma’ Day’s for a while.” During his first three years Fred was a piano player, but abandoned that to take up the study of the Saxophone and immediately joined the band. Often did he captivate us with his subtle, and sonorous syncopations. His hobby is wireless and although a chemist his active interest in the Wireless Association gained him the position of president. He was also a regular attendant at the “Seep Chymists.” “Freddie” does not broadcast his ability but it is bound to be apparent to any “set” within whose range he comes. Conscientious, thorough, and ever willing to offer his practical suggestions, his friendship is a thing to be desired. We wish him the bright future which he deserves. LJ i ' I l!

Rope Pull 1918; Rope Pull 1919; In¬ terfraternity Council 1922. In the fall of 1918, “Schmitty,” along with many other unenlightened Freshmen, and unappreciative of freedom, took his monastic vows to Worcester Tech. Since then he has been spending his time whal¬ ing the courses, with one exception— Physical Education, where he had quality attendance but not much of quantity. His habits are Poli’s, one girl, a pipe, a pea jacket, and an abhorrence of “shines.” “Schmitty” helped win the war at the Great Lakes Naval Reserve. Should he ever consider the thought of taking up pedagogy, he would have the advantage of experience. He has taught “Willy” See the most important parts of the United States language so that “Willy,” formally Woon Howe See, now has a standard come-back to any razz. “Schmitty” has taught him the elocutionotechnics of it too so that ' it is most effective. One other accomplishment of this blond fellow —he can play “500”—ask him. We imagine though, that it was in those transmission classes held in Boynton Hall basement, that he was at his best. Anyway they were popular gatherings. When “Schmitty” goes forth to make his mark in the world, we all know that his aggressive but pleasing personality and his ability to make and to hold friends will enable him to win his place in engineering or in other business.

Here we have one of those proverbial “small packages” from Agawam. Eor the benefit of those ignorant of the facts, let us state that this village is just out¬ side of Springfield. It was back in the fall of 1919 that “Chicken” came into our fold and since then we have been aware of his presence both on and olf the Hill. “Chicken” has perhaps as many nick names as any other man on the Hill can boast of. “One point five” (1.5 feet), as we sometimes call him is the most appropriate of any because of his short but manly figure. He had at first rather a hard time finding the right size girls for dancing partners, hut being of a patient character and smiling disposition, he soon solved the prob¬ lem and now has the longest of long lists from which to choose. Any one wishing to know how soup is made need look no further for an authority on the sub¬ ject. It was only last summer that “Chicken” took a course in the well known Campbell school situated in Camden, N. J. It was really electrical work with which he was connected but no man ever used his eyes more than this little product of the E. E. Department. It is with regret that we see the time coming when we must part. Of one thing we are cer¬ tain : it has been a pleasure and honor to know and call “Ray” one of our friends. He has al¬ ways been the smiling good fellow who entered with us four years ago. •AFTERMATA 1923 Page one hundred seventeen WOON HOWE SEE “W illie” “Bill” Cosmopolitan Club Electric Born January 15, 1901, Indramajoe, Java, D. li.

He came to Tech from Java across the waters and can, on occasions,— although very rare—tell interesting, (true or not we can’t say) stories of the other side of the world. At any rate he has made us all very anxious to go across and see for ourselves. Eor.a while See was hampered by the fact that, although he had a fine knowl¬ edge of English, he didn’t know so much about U. S. Yankee. Helpful fellow- students and possibly professors have at last succeeded in educating him so that he is now as proficient in this line as in any other. “Willy” never shuns the task of plugging in the power in the laboratory. It gives him keen enjoyment to laugh at his timid “partners in data” when they plug in with one hand and fear and trembling. No one ever saw “Bill” really mad hut he looks thoughtful when anybody tells him that Ching Wah is better than Fuh Tan. The latter was his prep school. We have learned the proper way to pronounce “sheik.” “Willy” studied Arabic once and we get all the latest in¬ formation. Seriously though. See is a good student and a hard and faithful worker and has made a record of which any of us could he proud. . .FTER nAl. 1 Page one hundred eighteen ♦ GEORGE MARTIN SEIDEL Ly oirnon 2AE Chemist Born September 23, 1900; Easthamp- ton, Mass.; Prep.

George is another one of those boys who never lets studies interfere with his college education. However, strange as it may seem, he sails through his courses with little difficulty and gathers in his share of good marks. Remember how he early got into the good graces of Dr. Jennings by sharking the qualitative course. And when it comes to German, the boy outshines everyone. Why, he would even enjoy it if all the text-books were written in that deadly—for most of us—language. However, it is in the laboratory that we find “Cy” at his best. He is seldom headed by anyone in spite of the fact that he is conceded to be tbe best glass shatterer and penny matcher in his division. “‘Cy” has supported many school activities, principally the News, the Sceptical Chymists, and the Tech dances. His interest in the last of these seems to increase as he grows older and wiser. As president of the Sceptical Chymists, “Cy” has done much to stimulate interest in and improve the meetings of that society. We believe that “Cy” has all those qualities which will bring him success in the business world after he leaves Tech. He is clever, works fast, and thinks quickly and correctly. He has the faculty of making himself i)opular with his colleagues and has a pleasant disposition. We believe that Tecb will have cause to feel proud of him as an alumnus.

We are quite sure that is the only reason he ever has cause for worry. “A little bit of everything as it comes along,” is his motto. However, he is especially desir¬ ous of making several well-known text¬ books safe for students. A wild cry of “this book is all wrong,” means “Dick” is out for blood again. Nevertheless, none of his activities as a critic can keep him from the Tech social functions, in fact he hasn’t missed a single one since he first arrived. Moreover he and his companion are frequent visi¬ tors at the Country Club. And boys what mean cars he pilots. The ballroom is not the only place he waves a skilled foot for he really learned on the soccer field. He has played on the varsity for three years—winning his letter in the Junior year. Thus it is with wonder that we receive his state¬ ment that he played soccer “on the side.” Though his plans for next year are not fully made, he expresses the desire to see a bit of the world. Whatever he does, he should succeed for he surmounts all difficulties with seeming ease. Your good luck, “Dick.” 4 •AFTER AATH 1923 Page one hundred twenty ■ ‘,.1 .

George came up from Hartford and entered the Institute in ’19. It was the nearness of the Institute that brought to him the news of the hard courses at Wor¬ cester Tech. This must have decided him, for George loves hard work. He is a hard worker and clear thinker so that it is no wonder that his problems are always on time. As he is a genial fellow you can find him in the M. E. library almost any morning giving some others the “dope” on the problem. How he manages to remember so much about gas and electricity is a mystery. Even Mr. Maxfield has to give him credit for knowing what E. E. Lab is all about, and as for “Cy,” Snow’s word is law. Most of his spare time George spends reading books which we fear have very little to do with engineering unless it be “human engineering.” We can guess what they are about, however, as he has pretty clear ideas about the fair sex as have all confirmed bachelors. We fear that his opinions are based on observations rather than on experience and this is apt to be dangerous. Pos¬ sibly we are all wrong, Hartford isn’t so very far off. All kidding aside though, he is a good engineer and there is no doubt that he will make a suc¬ cess in this line.

I., 1918. “W” Football; Football 1918. Tn considering the famous characters in history, one must include the name of Carlton Stanley Sprague, in order to make the work complete. And besides this, it must be noted that the majority spent their childhood, and possibly cer¬ tain portions of their youthful days on a farm. Spraguey has been no exception to the general rule, for, like Cincinnatus of old, he dropped his plow in the furrow and left the farm for a higher calling. And we found him entering Tech with the Class of 1922. Later on, at the end of his Junior year, he and ten other good men left in order to partake in fifteen months of practical experience, as ’tis called. If you mention motorcycle, we think of Spraguey, or vice versa. That rapid Harley is a sight familiar to us all, and the gentle purr of its motor brings recollections of one or more single-cylinder Cadillacs. However, one’s confidence grows if he chances to get a glimpse of it tearing up the path in the southeast corner of the campus. C. S. stands for “caveman strength,” without a doubt. It was shown during our last game with Holy Cross in 1918, when Tech had an unusually agile and efficient end. Unfortunately, however, he was unable to play in subsequent years. As a Sophomore, he lifted well above 550 kgs. on Swasey’s machine, to the astonishment and com¬ plete mystification of the audience. But we must soon take leave of this man, as he enters the world of industry. We could pro¬ phesy much, for all of his acquaintances are his friends for life. He is planning to enter the em¬ ploy of the N. E. T. T. Co., locating in Boston. Why isn’t he to return to New York? Consider the relative distances from Worcester. Perhaps that is only a temporary matter though, for Carl¬ ton is serious minded at times.

We never knew he w ' as with us until he was called on in class. Maybe his reason for being so quiet was that he followed the saying: “Look wise and say nothing.” Still “Dickie” had it over us in the fact that while we had three eight o’clocks every week, he never knew what an eight o’clock meant. Possibly he had some special arrangement with the professors. Again, on summer-shop inspection trips, “Birdie” was as quiet as ever, any thoughts or words being chosen with the utmost discretion. “Dickie” is not at a loss as to what to say when in company other than ours which is very evident when one considers the many friends he has. It takes more than a word here or a word there to hold the attention of the weaker sex (pardon the liberty) unless they are very well placed and to tell the truth we are quite certain that “Dickie” has mastered the art of plac¬ ing his words to good advantage. We shall always remember “Birdie” as the quiet, efficient, energetic, resourceful, dependable and unicjue band leader that he was. A more ardent lover of music is hard to find. When in doubt “Say it with a Sax,” for he it known that when “Birdie” picks up the saxophone it talks as no one else can make it. ■ • ’)• AFTERA A:rA 1923 Page one hundred twenty-three EDWARD TOPANELIAN, JR. 1 oppy A.

Leaving behind him an enviable record in the North High School of Worcester, “Toppy” came up the Hill in September, 1919 and became a full-fledged member of the Class of ’23. Some say that he chose Tech because of the views around the Hill have been dear to him ever since his early childhood; but his four years’ stay shows clearly his qualifica¬ tion as a successful engineer. You wouldn’t call him exactly a “grind,” but you can be sure that he knows his “stuff” and knows it well too. “Toppy” is a fellow who knows how to enjoy life. Every season finds him busy at some kind of athletic activity, and in whatever sport he enters he is always an expert. In the fall he de¬ fends the goal for the varsity soccer team, and all the opponents know how difficult it is to send a ball between his posts. Winter finds him deeply engaged on the gymnsium floor as a member of the basketball squad. And when spring comes, you cannot fail to recognize a tall, handsome young chap in white ducks and with tennis racket in hand—a figure that will charm almost any young lady. Ah, speaking of girls, we mustn’t forget to mention that “Toppy” hasn’t been greatly interested in them as yet. The best wishes of the Class go with him for his advancement in life. In this no one en¬ tertains any doubt or fear, for we believe that the world knows a good man when it sees one. •AFTER AATA 1923 Page one hundred twenty-four AFTERnATH 1923 Page one hundred twenty-five JOHN HSUEH-HAN TSUI ‘‘Johnny “Tusi” “Tree” Cordes Fratres Chinese Students’ Club Electric Born May 1, 1900, Canton, China; Prep.

To the few of us who do not happen to be well acquainted with Tsui, he is somewhat of a mystery, but to the rest who are in close contact with him, his friendship is truly a treasure. Tsui is one of that unassuming type who never force their friendship and presence upon anyone, yet when once known, make the staunchest friends that can be found. Well does he deserve the es¬ teem and admiration that he enjoys from the fellows on the Hill. Tsui is a good scholar, yet he has had plenty of time to enter into other act- tivities. He has been an ardent worker and leader in the Corda Fratres, and has imparted to the members much valuable information concern¬ ing his own and other countries. His support has also been given to clubs and societies in and about the city. At squash and tennis he has beaten many of us, and has played a good brand of soccer for the class on many occasions. We are mighty glad that Tsui has been with us for four years, and wish that he would stay with us. In fact, we do not yet know what he intends to do after graduation; but realize that, whatever he does it w ' ill bring new glory to Tech. He has our very best wishes for a bright future.

During the war, “Slim” served at Plattsburg, and in the M. I. T. S. A. T. C. After this period of trials, he showed superhuman courage by coming to Tech to tackle the Kaiser. = “Slim” has always been a busy man. He would disappear week-ends, to turn up Mondays with renewed vigor for the hard week ahead of him. Between = his hunting equipment, which always required at- tention; the cocoanuts purchased at the Greek’s; and his work on Rathole Ravings, “Slim” was always engrossed. As a connoisseur of antiques, he has an enviable reputation, being the possessor of two “Arks,” one afloat, and the other on wheels (most of the time). With these two means of conveyance, aided by bis 3 - two long legs, he manages to roam where his fancy dictates. Some fancy! Being a chemist, with a master hand over most , .,7 of the molecules, we view his entrance into the outer world with some trepidation. There is no ! :. telling what a man with “Slim’s” vast amount of l r knowledge and experience may do in the labora- ! 1 tory of life..

Mandolin Club (2, 3); Assistant Ad¬ vertising Manager of Aftermath 1923; Rope Pull (1, 2). This promising young chemist is a man of many characteristics. The principal ones are—his real curls, his sly smile, and his many names. He is known about the Hill as “Volstead,” “Wergits,” “Vo- gotski,” “Wiggles,” “Oor man Will,” and “Bill.” The greatest of these is “Bill,” for was he not introduced, though ab¬ sent, at the Half-Way-Through banquet as “Bill Voigt,” by bis devoted and ad¬ miring room-mate, “Jerry” Rice. In fact his sponsor was very particular about this fact, almost as specific as about the size of his steak. “Bill” is a great chemist. He knows the respective uses of H“0, H-SO , CH OH, and C“H®OH and how to tell them apart. He says that the modern tendency in this country is to mix these things up; that is, toward blind confusion; and that the future of the people de¬ pends upon the development of a sense of pro¬ portion. “Bill” hails from Easthampton which, as every¬ one knows, or should know, is near Smith Col¬ lege, and he has, therefore, had more of a “col¬ lege education” than many of us less fortunate ones here at Tech. As a follower of Terpsichore, he has few rivals. It is a treat to witness his “tin hip.” Another one of his strong points is dram¬ atics. He has seen over ninety-eight percent of all the shows given at Poli’s for the last four years. He says at least three of these were good. “Bill” has not “gone out” much for Tech ac¬ tivities, but lias always been an active, loyal sup- jiorter of all the teams. He is known and liked by everyone on the Hill. AFTE R 7R ATA 19:. Page one hundred twenty-seven ROGER THORNTON WAITE “raife” “Rog” TBH 2H Electric Born August 25, 1901, Talcotville, Conn.; Prep.

He works very hard and plays just as hard. What¬ ever he does, he puts his whole heart into it. One would believe this to see him go down the Design Room floor in about four strides. For the first three years, he could usually be found somewhere on the Hill— on the tennis or squash courts, on the football field, or coaching the agony quar¬ tet that he fathered. But not so this year. All his reports must now be done before Friday night, to make way for the week¬ end. From what we hear, they must be pleasant week-ends, too. At any rate, he looks forward to them beginning Monday of every week. “Rog” has wisely availed himself of Tech’s social opportunities and was a regular patron of most of the dances on the Hill. On such occa¬ sions he was always very well accompanied— and by more than the music. He has made many friends in the course of four years, because of the fact that he is always ready to lend a helping hand to those struggling with Thermo. His work is well appreciated, judging by the demand for it. There is hardly any need of predicting success for him in business, or engineering. If he ac¬ complishments at Tech are any criterion, he can¬ not fail at anything. U V f V b- ' I I! AFTER7AATM 1923 Page one hundred twenty-eight Born March 18, 1901, Bridgeport. Conn.; Prep.

We never found out why he left that seat of learning, unless it was because of the efforts of some fair Tech booster. Suffice it to say that we forgive him for his former affiliation since he seems to have forgotten it himself. Since his Freshman year, “Dick” has always dabbled in contrasts. He would sometimes seem to loaf through the first part of the term, but the last month of the semester always brought out his best efforts, culminating in the finals, where he always astonished everybody, including himself. It has always been a source of wonder t o us how “Dick” managed to keep on smiling, when he inherited a vehicle, (not quite BBn an automobile) which required his constant at- |HB tention to keep it from taking root wherever it stood. An ordinary man would have given uj) I either Tech or the automobile, for either of the I ■ two required full time attention. But not “Dick!” I He applied all his knowledge to the machine, from ■ Pattern Making to Least Squares, and so man- rI aged to keep on good terms with it. If we had influence in labor circles, we should endeavor to get “Dick” a position as a labor or¬ ganizer, for all his spare time is spent in organ¬ izing parties, among and for his friends. It is certain that “Dick’s” [jeculiar talents will make him a resourceful civil engineer and a great man in California whither he is hound.

But along about that time a war was declared. “Doc,” hy swimming from Florida to Key West, was given a pass into the U. S. Navy and soon landed in the radio department. This pastime took him into southern waters and it was three years before he swam back into Worcester harbor. He entered our class as a Sophomore in 1920 and elected the Electrical course in order to share with the E. E. Department his vast store of electrical knowledge. In this quiet and unassuming friend of ours one finds a store of knowledge, experience, and common sense which “Doc” is at any time ready to share. But he was at all times looking for more information and often when the rest of the Class had dismissed a statement, “Doc” would question it and stand ready to be convinced. “Doc” for two vears held down the berth of Chief Radio Operator for the Institute and during that time did much tearing down and building up in the Wireless Room. It is well however, that “Doc” resigned the Chief Operator’s position for during the past year he has had to make several week-end trips to Boston which have taken up his spare time. He need not worry, for there is surely a place for him in the engineering field, and it cannot be too good to suit us.

It was back in 1918 that “Watchie,” who hails from that thriving town of Millbury, first came upon Tech Hill. He is one of those quiet, unassuming fellows about whom it is difficult to learn much. However, we have been able to learn a few things of interest. “Watchie” is one of the 1922 Electrics who decided that a year of work would he good for him. This year he spent with the General Electric Co. in Schenectady and Pittsfield. We, back in Worcester, understand that during this year he learned several things other than running tests on machines. It was while in Schenectady that he beca me imbued with the desire to bcome a fancy skater so that some day he might he able to compete successfully against the best. He succeeded fairly well too. Do we hear someone asking, “How about the girls?” We cannot say much on that subject ex¬ cept by hearsay. However, we have heard that his dimples were the envy of certain young ladies. Also “Watchie” took to going up on the mountain tops around Pittsfield to see the sun rise. How about it, “Watchie?” Another thing that this year did was to make him think that dancing is “not so had.” Some say he goes to dances in Millbury now. We wonder why? That “Watchie” is a good student and friend we all know. Because of this and his ability to get things done we look forward to seeing him a man of prominence in his chosen profession.

He has been a regular on the basketball team each of his four years, and captain during the last. During this time the team possessed in him a player of more than ordinary ability. He has held class offices every year, and was president during our Junior year. What a man has done and been elected to do is a fair judgment of his character, hut let us add a few words as to his personality. He is a man you like to have around day after day. He can see humor in everything, ’and “Whitey’s’ laugh is famous. He never trusts the faculty and hangs the crepe everywhere after exams until marks come out; then he is elated. His frequent trips to Hartford assure us that he will never he one of our companions in the Bachelor’s Club.

In spite of the fact that the catalogue shows a large number of Pawtucket men on its pages, we are of the opinion that Everett Gatchell Wightman is one of the best yet. “Ev” entered W. P. I. with a jump and has been on the jump ever since, as is easily seen by looking at his enviable track record. Who can imagine a track meet without him there to fatten up the average. At the end of his Junior year he came to the conclusion that the General El¬ ectric Co. needed his assistance, so that he went to their aid for fourteen months as a Non-Resident Student. -From what we hear, he not only man¬ aged to help the company along, but he also in¬ troduced the girls of Schenectady to all the la¬ test steps. Speaking of women, “Ev” is always there when the fair sex is envolved. His terpsi- chore an ability is par excellence and he is a staunch supporter of the midnight crew. As for studies, “Ev” does not claim to be a grind but nevertheless is always there with the right dope. One of his accomplishments seems to lie in his ability to dodge all but the most nec¬ essary finals. The ease with which he does this trick regularly is surprising. Athlete, student, and good fellow, and above all, a true gentleman, Everett has won our ever¬ lasting good will, and we can be assured of his future in whatever field of endeavor he may choose to enter.

Rocks, and shoals, evidenced by low-mark soundings, have occasionally im¬ peded passing. Guided by an eminent marine engineer, and relying on a mature faculty of direction, the mariners’ haven has been reached. This group may never voyage again together but individuals among them will undertake greater voyages upon the ocean of the world. Then will they tell of this, their maiden journey on the sea of education; its wondrous training, and its rich reward.

Robinson N THE memorable day of September 17, 1919, about one hundred and eighty scared youths stalked towards a large brick structure known as the Chemistry Building. Up two long flights of stairs we toiled our way and there we were ushered into a large room which, we found later, was to play a prominent part in our first year at Tech. After we were all assembled we listened to some exhilarating talks on what we should do, how promising we looked, and then were given some little slips to sign, which meant one year in our young lives. Outside the building there seemed to be an ever-increasing uproar. One man remarked that it sure seemed like good spirit for the other classes to assemble outside and give us a welcoming reception. As we handed in our slips and started for the door we found that passage barricaded and were informed that we were deemed so important, that we were to receive an individual reception. As our turn came, we passed down the stairs, being gently assisted all the way, and then out the door where a cute little cap was placed on our head. The reception line was then before us which we crawled through, receiving many assuring pats as we passed beneath and then, over the bank we went. The Y, M. C. A., however, thought that we were worth a little entertaining, and so the following night we assembled to find out who was who at Tech. We did justice to several kegs which had been gathered from nearby farmers, and then adjourned to do our first night’s studying. At baseball something went wrong and our series ended in a tie. After viewing Institute Pond we decided that our erstwhile rivals would look well swimming therein, so we resolved that they should taste defeat in that titanic struggle, the rope-pull. It was a struggle, for a moment or two, and then it was all over but our parade. Main street echoed the cheers of ’23. Darkness prevented our going through for victory in the football game, but in basketball there was no such luck favoring our rivals, and they were easily defeated. It seemed that Christmas was hardly over when that awe-inspiring word— mid-years—was heard about us on the Hill. Some braved the battle unscathed, but others felt the swing of the Faculty axe as it dealt ruthlessly among us. Our attention was next turned to our first real celebration. An excellent menu and speakers made tbe Class Banquet at the Hotel Warren a complete success. The Sophomores were through “razzing” us and our interest was now ATR U Y!| ' ill ' Page one hundred thirty-eight centered in school activities. Those among us who were musically inclined were doing their share to make the concerts a success. Tech Show drew some stars from our midst. The basketball team claimed two of our number to help it win a championship for the School. We were all out trying to make ’23 famous about the Hill. Tech Night at Poli’s, that memorable custom of the past, was a merry affair for which we all turned out. Between the missiles that descended from the gal¬ lery and those that passed around the orchestra it was a case of constant dodg¬ ing. The show may have been good but few remembered or cared what it was all about. Although we were quite embarrassed financially, a few of us managed to scrape together enough money to take in the grand social event which came the last of March. We stepped out in clothes that fitted and quite a few that did not, but thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Spring weather set in and along with it came track and baseball. We con¬ tributed talent to both and then prepared for the onslaught of finals. These we conquered and great was the rejoicing when the much looked for notices arrived tell ing us that our green days were over and that now we could assume all the dignity becoming to Sophomores.

Our ranks had been somewhat swelled by the “irregulars” of the S. A. T. C. of the preceding year, our total num¬ bering 152. We commenced the new term right by rendering a very earnest welcome to the Freshmen. The Ereshmen were “per¬ suaded” to buy some very pretty fall headgear and we then pro¬ ceeded to congratulate them in a most decided manner. To render the program complete several vocal orgies were presented by selected “Erosh.” The follow¬ ing evening we renewed old acquaintances at the “Y” reception and heard “Doc” Morley’s choicest witticisms. Needless to say, we accounted for our share of cider and doughnuts. But all too soon the inevitable grind began. Now it was calc and physics, and physics and calc. And at regular intervals there were quizzes that took all the joy out of life. But we soon became inured to this routine and had more of a chance than ever to become intimately acquainted with the men who were to be our classmates along the rugged road ahead. We did not lose interest in the extra-curriculum subjects, however. There was the rope-pull which we won for the second time, a feat which has been ac¬ complished but twice in the history of the Institute. Not content with that, ’23 gave ’24 a sound drubbing in football, basketball and track. The Fresh¬ men were “soft pickins.” Socially, also, we developed into the proverbial lions. At the Carnival we were much in evidence, both in the fraternity acts and side-show. Later on we were well represented in the cast of “Nothing but the Truth.” Along with the latter came the Junior Prom and all its dazzling enchantments. House-Party week was a spot of sunshine for many and we of ’23 looked forward to our own Prom. During the spring an entertainment and smoker was held in the gym to take the place of Tech Night at Poli’s. A vaudeville act, selections by the Musical Clubs, and boxing matches completed the program. With all these distractions no time was found in which to hold a banquet and so this customary ceremony was abandoned. Then came, for us, the crowning event of the year, the Sophomore Hop. It was a brilliant affair, the delightful music and the wonderful decorations completely won us and it was unanimously agreed to he the best Hop on record. Time sped swiftly and soon came the finals and then summer shop. Glad we were when these were over to enjoy a few days, at least, of leisure.

COGHLIN SECOND HALF R. W. White H. A. Cragin R. L. Kimball E. B. CoGHLIN ACK in the fall of 1921 we passed from the days of our underclass life to the dignity and duties of Juniors. Before long we realized that the word Junior is but another name for work, and how we did work. In the classroom we maintained our record of the previous year, which by the way, was almost great enough to convince Prof. Coombs that our immediate successors were not better than we were, as he has told every class from time immemorial. The record of our underclass days, however, was such as to set us a hard pace to maintain, but we were resolved to hold it. All the varsity squads received aid from our Class with gratitude and as evidence of the worth of 1923 men, we numbered a very large propor¬ tion of the captains and captains-elect in our fold. The Junior class members, however, are not expected to concentrate all their efforts in the classroom or on the athletic field. They are looked up to as the social leaders of the school. Our Freshman Banquet gave us an excellent back¬ ground for our Half-Way-Through. Having been thus thoroughly experienced in what to do and what not to do, we decided to hold our session of this great event at the Black and White Club, in Marlboro. Thither we journeyed on the eventful night, Nov. 14, 1921. It would be useless to attempt to recount one- tenth part of the hilarity and goodfellowship that attended that evening but suffice it to say that every one who attended will long remember it as one of the great landmarks of his school days. Of course the Junior Prom was considered as our great event and so we proved it. Held as always before at the Bancroft the details were arranged to perfection by the committee and the evening went even more smoothly, and in¬ cidentally much faster, than we had hoped for. By scanning these pages, “he who runs may read,” how well we have carried out the prophecy of our underclass days and see what promise the Class gives of taking its place in the wide, wide world. : at:4 192 I Page one hundred forty-two •AFTERMATH 1923 Page one hundred forty-three 192o AS Juniors 5 ' « M.

The great event had come to pass, and yet things on the Hill went on just as before. Many of us had great difficulties in assuming that characteristic dignity so becoming to the haughty Senior. But the more truthful of our number made no bones about not having any such dignity. As Seniors we found ourselves a more unified group than heretofore, and all the class friendships of Underclassman days now welded the “gang” together in the good old band of fellowship, with class spirit as our strongest tie. Studies are never supposed to be the Senior’s forte, and true to tradition the class contributed largely to athletics, and other activities, without wasting an undue amount of time on preps. Nevertheless, a goodly number of the class are wearers of Tau Bet and Sigma Xi keys, showing that we have our proper pro¬ portion of the gray matter. As we saw the final episodes of the adventures of Allen and Baker, life at Tech became more and more agreeable, until, as the end drew near, we were reluctant to leave the dear old Alma Mater. Subjected, we were, to one more ordeal,—our last finals, and then we prepped for Commencement. The week was a gay one, starting with a bang, with a never-to-be-forgotten banquet. Then in all too quick succession, the Baccalaure¬ ate Sermon, dance. Class Day, the Commencement ceremony, alumni celebration, and dinner. And so at last, we pass out of the gate, with Our great love for Tech as an inspiration to high achievernents as alumni, Page one hundred forty-six •AFTKRMATH 1923-J Page one hundred forty-seven Scene on Campus Drive in Institute Park Commencement Week Program Monday, June 4 8:00 P.

SUNDVALL HE present Junior Class came back to Tech sadly thinned in numbers after two years of competition with the faculty, but strongly for¬ tified in spirit, due to the fact that we had weathered the storms of two years and were already “Half-Way-Through.” Although the Class of 1924 did not get off to an auspicious start athletically, it did improve its showing in the second year of its existence. In that year ’24 won the Rope-Pull, soccer, basketball, and cross-country, which comprised a fair share of the contested events. Erom time to time ’24 celebrated in a fitting manner the various stages of her existence. Although we had no banquet, or anything of that sort in our Fresh¬ man year, we made up for it in our Sophomoi ' e stage, when we held our ban¬ quet at the State Mutual restaurant. It was at this banquet that Coach Bigler made his debut as an after-dinner speaker, and “Doc” Porter added to his pop¬ ularity in the same line of endeavor. The Sophomore Hop of that year was believed by many to be the best dance ever held in the Gym. In November, the banquet of banquets was held, namely the Half-Way-Through. It was held this time at the Sterling Inn, with Prof. Adams, Coaches Bigler and Lancaster as the guests. During the course of the evening, we all became con¬ vinced that ’24 had the best bunch of fellows that ever came to Tech, and so far we have not had cause to alter our opinions. The Junior Prom, which con¬ cluded our efforts in the social line for that year, was a brilliant affair, held as usual at the Bancroft, and enjoyed as usual, by all who attended. Our men have taken part in all forms of Tech activities, athletic and other¬ wise. We had two men on the basketball team during the past season, one of them the all-New England center. On the football team we had two men, in soccer we had three, while the cross-country team was practically composed of the class cross-country team. As time goes on, the spirit of 1924 seems to improve, and now on the thresh¬ old of our last year at Tech, we have a class which is second to none in friend¬ ship, ambition and general Tech spirit. •AFTER. .ATH 1923 Page one hundred fifty-two I f H, P.

But we didn’t stay under these wings after the first few days and after we had come to know a few of our classmates’ faces. We came here with the determination to put one over on the Class of ’24 and did so by winning the baseball series, the track meet, and the football game between the Frosh and the Sophs. We struck a flaw, however, on a very cold day—October 15—when we were pulled through the pond and mud by ’24. We were wearing at that time our Tech caps which were none other than jockey caps. But after we were organized and after we had won so many battles, we took them off as an indication of our ability. We studied hard for the mid-years and likewise for the finals so that very few faces were drawn away from us as a result of flunking. In the Fall of ’22 we took it upon ourselves—after much uneasiness on the part of the Faculty—to put the incoming Freshmen through the ordeal of giv¬ ing them their Tech caps. We then started to win more honors. The rope-pull this year was called off after both sides had pulled for more than two hours with no appreciable gain. We held the upper score in the ’25-’26 football and soccer games and also the track meet. We fell, however, in the baseball series. The Sophomore banquet, which was held in Leicester, brought forth an unwel¬ come time for the Freshmen who had to pay for the property damage done by them when they tried to disturb our banquet. Most of us came through mid¬ years successfully and are now on our way to finals and to graduation—in the distance.

Hall Charles M. Healey second term Howard B. Smith Mabbott B. Steele Sherman M. Hall Charles M. Healey E WENT through the usual Sophomore Reception on our first day. Although we made several attempts to rush them, we were repulsed. The next event was the reception given by Dr. and Mrs. Hollis. Here we learned much about the navy and came to lose some of our fear of the President. We liked the doughnuts and ginger ale at the Y. M. C. A. recep¬ tion, too. At the Rope-Pull we worked for two hours and a half but we could not dis¬ lodge tbe buried Sophomores. We made them uncomfortable, however, and were awarded the temporary decision for gaining the most rope. A tie was later officially declared. In baseball there was no ambiguity concerning our victory. In soccer and football we lost by the splitting of a hair. We were not fortunate in track either. The Sophomores “deemed it unnecessary,” to accept our cross-country challenge, for we had four varsity men. We were defeated again by the Sophomores at the Carnival. We presented a neat, one-act comedy which, it seems, was not in keeping with the spirit of the Carnival. The Sophomores, being expert at any kind of burlesque, won this competition. “ The outstanding feature of our short history was the Sophomore Banquet. The Sophomores this year broke the tradition and held their banquet in Leicester instead of Worcester, but even at that they could not escape us for we fol¬ lowed them in a bus. About sixty of us went to Leicester that cold night. We succeeded in disrupting the program somewhat, and in breaking things up in general. It certainly was a glorious sight for Freshman eyes to see, through the opened window, our dreaded oppressors, armed with available weapons, bandkerchiefs about their arms and eyes popping out of their heads, waiting to see what would happen next. On the way home we stopped in town for a few signs, gum machines, and street lights. We had these charged to our account and afterwards paid for them. The 230 watt bulb of the street light cost us thirty dollars, for it was sold to us by the Town of Leicester. Another notable action taken by our Class was the abolition of the Cap Rush. The rush seemed unsportsmanlike to us on our first day and we resolved to have a more suitahle substitute next year, something in which the two sides would lie evenly matched. Our instructors, as is their custom, tell us that we are the best class they have seen for years and promise great things for us. - AFTER ' Al ' H 1923 Page one hundred sixty-six -AFTERMATH 1923 Page one hundred sixt ' -seven Page one hundred sixty-eight Page one hundred sixty-nine AFTERMATH 1923 Page one hundred seventy Football W The past football season was not what could be called a very successful one for Tech, although we did succeeed in winning one game, that with Lowell, which was an improvement in a way over that of the preceding season when Tech did not have a single victory to her credit. Eight letter men from the squad of the year before answered the call for candidates which was sent out at the opening of school. Because of the new arrangement of the school calendar which re- suited in school opening two weeks later than usual, the squad was worked hard and fast by the coaches in preparation for the first game with Trinity only a short way off. In this game Tech showed clearly a lack of sufficient prepara- tion and Trinity handed us an 18 to 0 defeat. The following Saturday Tech journeyed to Amherst where the heavy Mass. Aggie eleven was met. This game f also resulted in a defeat for Tech although our squad showed an improvement = over the play of the preceding game. Lowell Textile was our next opponent and Tech determined to win this game and avenge the defeat of the preceding g • year, went into the fray and fought like tigers, well earning the victory. Con- g necticut Aggies came up to Worcester the following week and their strong eleven handed Tech a clean cut defeat. In the two remaining games on our schedule g Tech lost the first to Ilhode Island State, and the second to our great rivals, g ' Ken.sselaer. At the close of the season the question of abolishing football at Tech as a varsity sport again came up, but nothing definite was done on it. It was de- cided to try a new football policy next year and in consequence a football sched- |j|; ule has been drawn up which includes games with only teams of our own calibre and standards. A much more successful season is looked forward to as a re- i j suit of this. Trinity 18 Mass. Aggies 23 Lowell Textile 0 Conn.

Around these men, Capt. White, Berry and Whelpley, the coach set to work to build up a new team. The Interfraternity Series which had just closed had brought out some likely looking players, who were hound to make a strong bid for a position on the varsity squad. The graduation of Pickwick, the speedy little guard ol the chanq)ionship team of two years ago, left a big gap which would he no easy matter in filling. Both Parsons, a Freshman, and Higgins, a second string man of the previous year, were tried in Pickwick’s old place during the practice sessions. The for¬ ward positions were also somewhat of a question before the opening game with Sharpe, Whelpley and Delphos being the chief contenders After our first game with Brooklyn Polyteeh, things looked bright for a cham¬ pionship team again at Tech for we fairly swept tliem off the floor in a whirl¬ wind game. Soon after this the team went into a slump from which they did not recover until the M. A. C. game, which resulted in a well-earned victory for Tech. In our game with Clark we lost after a hard, scrappy fight chuck full of excitement. This was the first time in the history of basketball at Tech - that we had ever lost to a Clark team. Princeton beat us in the last few minutes of play when the terrible pace of the game began to tell on our team and they fell before that speedy attack which carried the Orange and Black to the Inter¬ collegiate Championship the previous year. In our last and biggest game of the season with our old rivals, Rensselaer, d’ech came from behind and won a hard-earned victory. This game wound up the college basketball career of Capt. White and “Tom” Berry, both of whom had played steadily for the past four years on Tech teams. At the close of the game Prof. Carpenter presented these two men, gold watches donated by the students and faculty in recognition of their wonderful work on the basketball court at Tech. The letter men of the year were Capt. White, Berry, Sharpe, Whelpley, Higgins, Delphos and Manager Kimball. Higgins was elected captain of the 1921 team and Howard manager with Camay as his assistant.

Last year’s team was intact with the exception of the veteran “Dick” Mason and Mc- Glincy. who were lost through graduation. The Freshman-Sophomore series held in the fall had revealed some snappy material in the Class of 1926, and it was expected that the two vacancies on the squad would he filled hy hist year men. The practice season had not gone along very far when both Higgins and Cur¬ ran, the veteran twirlers from the squad of the previous year, developed lame arms, and it fell to “Don” Calder, an untried Freshman, to pitch the opening game on April 19th with Rhode Island State. Sharpe and Fitzmaurice were lost to the team because of marks, and it was a new combination which took the field at the start of this contest. In a listless game Rhode Island beat us 11 to 2. The following day the team journeyed down to Boston to meet the North¬ eastern squad. Although Curran was on the mound. Tech again suffered a severe set-back. To finish up the vacation afforded hy the Patriot’s Day holi¬ days the team met Trinity in Hartford, and with Calder hack on the mound, held the strong Connecticut team to a 3 to 3 tie. The loss of “Dick” Mason behind the plate was keenly felt in these games. Rain caused the calling off of the R. P. I. game, and in our next game with Middlehury Tech suffered another had defeat, 12 to 4. Boston Fhiiversity sent up a strong team, and after checking what looked like a sure Tech rally in the ninth inning went home with an 8 to S victory. The team has played in considerable hard luck thus far this season and that coupled with the loss of several players due to marks has not given the best of results. The veteran “Joe” Mason has been captain of this year’s squad with James Whelpley doing the managing.

There were several veterans back this year, hut it was these who were hard hit, so that there was a great chance for new material, and two Freshmen, Dimick and Rtiggles, soon came to the front. “Stan” Howard was the only man to win a track “W” in cross-country, but such veterans as Anderson, Johnson, Holmes, and Styffe, were hard and faithful workers on the squad. There were three races on the schedule and we lost them all, to Wesleyan, M. A. C., and R. P. I. This winter saw more of an indoor season than formerly on the Hill. We easily won the meet with M. A, C., but came out at the small end of the score in the triangular meet with Northeastern and B. U., and also lost the relay with R. P. I. and Northeastern at the B. A, A. games. The members of the relay team were Capt. Forbes, Hayward, Macinnes, and Schwarz. With the coming of spring, it seemed as if the weather man was working against the track team, but the interfraternity meet was held as early as April 14th. This meet was won by Lambda Chi Alpha, and the others finished in the following order: Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Sigma Kappa, Theta Chi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Nr I t! The amount of new men on the squad this year will be seen in the fact that five new men won their “W’s” in the meet with Trinity, which we won by a score of 79 to 47. Too much credit cannot be given to the new coach, Mr. John¬ stone, who has worked hard and faithfully all year and the results of whose efforts are beginning to be shown this spring. The spring schedule is as follows; •AFTERMATA 1923 Page one hundred eighty-three Apr. 28. Trinity at Worcester May 5. Rhode Island State at Kingston 12. R. P. I. at Worcester 19.

Because of the fact that Fall registra¬ tion was later than usual and considerahle had weather was encountered thereafter, the tournament could not be played to a final decision and had to be held over until Spring, at which time C. F. Hawley was elected Captain, and indoor prac¬ tice started promptly. Anyone familiar with Sah and the adeptness in the art which he displayed before many an excited onlooker during the 1922 season will realize how keenly his loss was felt both by the school and the team. Under the able coaching of Dr. Jennings, however, new material was soon displaying tactics well worthy of attention and was determined to do its share in making the 1923 season a success. The team was composed of Capt. C. F. Hawley, ’23, S. T. Chen, ’21, E. Topa- nelian, ’23 and E. E. Franks, Jr., 25. Because of a change in curriculum this year, the seasoat was unusually short necessarily, and the number of matches had to be cut down as compared to j)revious years. As arranged by Manager C. M.

H. Dodkin Manager, R. C. Jordan Secretary, R. C. Jordan Treasurer, W. S. Bissell Captain, R. W. Cushman M In spite of the unusual amount of interest sliown in the Rifle Team, it did not have a very successful season. The club’s lack of funds, which has always been a handicapping condition in the past,, was unusually inconvenient this year be- S cause a small debt was left over from last year and the rifles were in such condition that they needed expensive repairs. The condition of the rifles was in large measure responsible for the poor showing made by the team. At the close of the season, there was a small bank balance left and considerable new equipment. It is hoped that in the future we may again have a rifle team to compare with those of 1920 and 1921. As usual the team entered the N. R. A. Intercollegiate Match, but was able to secure only nineteenth place out of thirty-one. Dual matches were arranged with Universitv of California, Yale, Boston University, Dartmouth and M. I. T., but with the exception of the Yale match which was forfeited by them all !he matches were lost. All five men of the N. R. A. Intercollegiate Team recel ved medals for having averages of ninety per cent or over. e Just before the regular matches were begun a series of interclass matche - were shot to enable the ca})tain to pick a team. A cup was awarded to e high , individual scorer and because of the interest shown by this class a watcl charm was awarded to the high Freshman scorer. 0. H. Dodkin, ’23, won the cup and W. F. Kirschbaum, ’26, won the charm. Since the team did not finish in the i ,■ first half of those competing in the N. R. A. matches no Riflle V ’s were awarded lU to the team. Yij Page one hundred eighty-nine aI-TER AATH 1923 Page one hundred ninety Going into our second year of soccer as a varsity sport, things looked bright for a successful season. “Billy” Jenkins was engaged to coach the squad which w’as made up almost entirely of seasoned material. Among those back from the squad of the previous year w ' ere Chen, Topanelian, Judson, Shaw, Seaver, Leyland and Denault. Several other men showed much promise in the early practice and succeeded in making the team. The schedule opened with a victory over Clark to the tune of 5 to 2, in a rough game with Tech displaying some fine teamwork, and with Chen and Chou showing some clever kicking. Amherst fell next before Tech in a game that went into three overtime periods. Tech won two more games before the season closed and lost two, one to the strong Dartmouth team in Hanover and another to the Chinese Students of Greater Boston. The work of Chen, Chou, Lamay, Carter, and Higgins were features through¬ out the season. RESULTS GAME Clark Amherst Whittall’s Dartmoutli Chinese of Greater Boston Slater’s W.P.I.

It has reached that position only during the past school year, although it has always stood high among college magazines. The Journal was first published in November 1897 and appeared thereafter every two months. The original purpose of the magazine was to record the re¬ sults of scientific and engineering work done by faculty members, students and graduates. News of the Institute and of the Alumni held a place of minor importance. The first twenty-one volumes were edited and managed by students, and many prominent alumni once held positions on the staff. Professor Haynes has been Managing Editor almost from the start. During the war the magazine was taken over by the Alumni Association and is now published as an alumni maga¬ zine. The Journal stands for all that is best about and for Tech. It has given up its position as a technical publication because that side is so well covered by professional magazines. The main object of the publication is to bring the In¬ stitute and its alumni into close harmony. ssues each year appear in attractive magazine form and five other num- famous “In-Between’s” appear during the months when there is no regular issue. Each issue is crowded with interesting, well-illustrated articles, the latest news of the Institute, reports of Association meetings and many pages of notes about the activities of individual Alumni. The subscription price is two dollars a year. Page two hundred ten Tlie work of the Y. M. C. A. throughout tlie past year owes its success chiefly to the untiring efforts of Secretary Anthony. He has done all in his [)ower to push the work ahead, and has been assisted in this hy the cabinet. On the Friday after registration, September 29, about two hundred Freshmen were ushered into Tech life at the annual reception held under the auspices of the “Y.” Leaders in Tech organizations spoke of the various activities on the Hill. Interspersing these talks Tech songs were sung, and at the close, the wel¬ comed doughnuts, cheese, and ginger ale were served. During the first week the “Tech Bibles” were handed out. The shape and style of the handbook were changed and the contents augmented and improved. The first regular cabinet meeting was held on October 11, and the course of action for the year was planned out. At this meeting Mr. Shedd, the first em¬ ployed secretary at W. P. I., gave an interesting and helpful talk. On October 14, President J. N. Alberti attended, in Springfield, a meeting of the New England Field Council, of which he is secretary-treasurer. The annual membership drive was held the week of October 24, and over ninety percent of the student body were enrolled as members. A short time later the drive for finances was run and the budget apportioned. On November 20, 21, and 22, Rev. Allyn King Foster, a former Trustee oi Tech, was secured to hold three meetings. Rev. Foster is well known through¬ out the country as editor, author, and Baptist preacher, and his talks were among the best ever heard on the Hill. On January 19, the Seventh Annual Carnival was held, and it proved to he the best ever conducted at Tech. Socially and financially it was a great suc¬ cess. This year part of the proceeds was given to the Student Friendship Fund and part went to provide scholarships at the Jaro Industrial School, where H. F. Stuart, ’12, is in charge. Besides these various activities, the “Y” runs its service bureau, including the board and room department, employment department, post office department, pool room, and reading room. “Service” is the motto of the organization, and it is felt that its influence on the Hill is steadily increasing. • AFTERMATH 1923 Page two hundred eleven 5 Officers and Cabinet Members President, J.

As usual it was included in the Junior Prom Week festivities. Much more interest was added to this year’s production, due to the fact that a new coach had been en¬ gaged. With a cast chiefly of Freshmen, the Association was anxious to see the results. The members were naturally critical because of the success attained in previous years under the direction of Coach Fred A. Carroll. The play, which was different from other years, was “Here Comes the Bride,” a Broadway farce comedy, that had a successful run in 1921. It proved to he full of amusing scenes and laughable situations—a play of much action and the kind most diflicult to produce. However the result was eminently success¬ ful as can he gathered from the following individual criticisms of the cast: “Frederick Tile,” a young hut struggling lawyer who goes through a number of perplexing situations. 0. G. Soderstrom, ’25, was exceptionally good, hand¬ ling a difficult part in a masterly manner. “Jimmie Carlton,” his friend, who is looked upon by his friends as a man with a “limousine body and a jitney head.” C. H. Nordstrom was well cast and got the most out of his part. “Robert Sinclair,” the irate “papa” of the girls in the show. A. W. Fuller gave an excellent reading of a fiery-tempered old gentleman, who thought a great deal of his daughters, but little of the men they chose for husbands. “Thomas Ashley,” a friend and clerk to Tile. S. R. Wendin was exception¬ ally fine. He scored one of the successes of the performance. “Thurlow Benson,” one of New York’s big lawyers. D. G. Downing could not have improved his repose. Excellent delivery and general command went to make his part one of the most interesting. “Judge Huselton,” the stuttering one. A. R. Brown was really funny, and was responsible for some of the biggest laughs in the show. “Roberto Sevier,” the Spanish adventurer. G. M. Seidel played delightfully, never forgetting any detail of the many characteristics that go to make a part of this kind successful. “Sehor Alvarez,” another Spaniard. E. P. Wood, although only playing a small jiart, did justice to it. AFTERMATA 1923 -:A I Page two hundred thirteen “Hawkins,” the butler who in his own mind was a perfect “Lady Killer.” H. W. Tide gave a really good character study and scored many well-earned laughs. “Mooney,” the process server. R. G. Haseltine was excellent and received considerable praise. “Briggs,” the clerk of the marriage license bureau. W. F. Ames was excep¬ tionally funny—we are only sorry that he did not have more to do. “Ethel Sinclair,” the leading lady. H. A. Emerson really surprised “him¬ self,” and many of the audience had to look and listen, before they could realize that this part was being played by anyone other than a real girl. Thank you, Emerson, for a good show. “Nora Sinclair,” Ethel’s sister and Carlton’s fiancee. R. F. Norton won all hearts with his portrayal. “Maria,” the mysterious Spaidsh lady. I. S. Webster played a difficult role —well. “The Bride,” the title role. A. H. Wendin scored the success of the evening— it was the part about which the comedy revolved. It needed careful handling, and Wendin certainly did everything needed—never once over acting or leaving the character for a moment. This young man should go far in dramatics. SYNOPSIS OF SCENES y cT I. Frederick Tile’s Office, New York City Act II. James Carlton’s Home Act III. The same The entire show was good and was thoroughly enjoyed by a large audience and the entire W. P. I. Dramatic Association is to be congratulated. Our coach, “Jack” Leigh, came to us this year for the first time. He certainly has fulfilled every requirement of a won¬ derful coach. Mr. Leigh has had many years of acting and coaching to his credit and has played in practically every country in the world. As a result he has a very wide knowledge of stage technique. His personality inspired the entire cast to their greatest efforts and thus the Dram¬ atic Association gave a show unsurpassed in the history of Tech. “Jack” L.

Morgan, ’24 With the opening of the school year a very able coach, Mr, William L. Mitch¬ ell, was secured to lead the Glee Club. As usual, tenors were lacking, hut in a short time a well-balanced organization of about twenty-five meii Was rounded into shape. Mr. Mitchell conducted the Glee Club at all of its appearances and as a result, this club has reached a standard of excellence which has not been attained by a Tech Glee Club in recent years. The Mandolin Club, under the leadership of Milton Bemis, has made fine progress in its line. The club wrs composed of about fifteen men, several of whom were in last year’s club. The numbers rendered by the club were al¬ ways enthusiastically applauded, for with Bemis’ trick method of directing the pieces played were most effective. “Eddie” Bateson led the Orchestra very efficiently this past season. The Or¬ chestra this year was a typical jazz team. At every appearance their playing has made a sensation and their music for dances has brought them an enviable reputation. The Band under the leadership of R. B. Swallow was greatly handicapped from the start by a lack of l)ass horns, which made the organization of an effec¬ tive hand well-nigh impossible. The Association was unusually fortunate in having a large number of specialty men whose numbers lent variety to the program and delighted the audiences, “Eddie” Bateson’s piano solos deserve the highest praise, Nordstrom’s “Swed¬ ish Impersonations” and Wood’s “Negro Sermon” always brought down the house. ’Cello solos by Winckler were of a classical nature and were excellently rendered. Steele’s vocal solos were always of the highest quality and were very well received. This year’s Clubs have made a fine record, for every concert has been most successful, both financially and in the quality and variety of numbers pres¬ ented. The Association is on a firm financial footing and with the reputation made by the Clubs this year, the outlook for next year is most promising. •AFTER nATH 1923- } n j’l ' ! 3 I ' -I Page two hundred seventeen 1 Page two hundred eighteen AFTERMATA 1923 .

Previously the various instruments were used experimentally, with many changes, and varying success, but the stan¬ dardization was gradually brought about. At present the station has a number of sets in working order, which are used constantly. The apparatus is arranged with a careful regard for convenience, and efficiency, and at present comprises a high-power telegraph transmitter, low-power telegraph and telephone set for local work, a two-circuit receiver, and an auxiliary broadcast and long wave receiver. All controls are within easy reach of the operator. The success of the Association in transmitting results is remarkable. The 100-watt set was heard in both England and France during recent tests arranged by the American Radio Relay League, of which the Tech station is a member, ranking fifth out of over 300 other successful stations, most of which used power greatly in excess of that of the Tech station. In North America, the set has been reported over 2250 air line miles distance, being heard in Texas, Ar¬ kansas, Lousiana, Arizona, and other southern and western states, as well as in various parts of Canada. It is also regularly used in relaying messages with other amateur stations. In regard to the excellent results being secured, the Association has been con¬ gratulated by K. B. Warner, Secretary of the American Radio Relay League, and even better results are expected in the future. •AFTER nATH 1923 Page two hundred twenty-two AFTER MATA 1923 VIEW IN WIRELESS STATION Page two hundred twenty-three vA. f iA (C Fi ■esidenl, Otis S. SaWxN Vice-President, Dana L, Forbes Secretary and Treasurer, Warren T. Wentworth Founded a year ago by the present Sophomore Class, the Camera Club has now become an established institution on the Hill. Although established as a Freshman organization, it now includes members of all classes. The original purpose of the Club has not been forgotten, however, and the Freshman is given a special welcome. Regular meetings have been held throughout the year, alternately at the homes of Otis S. Sawn and Professor Adams. Papers on timely photographic sub¬ jects were read by various members and proved to be very instructive. The general discussions following these papers have been the means of raising many from the button-pusher class to that of real amateur photographers. The Club members will not soon forget the pounds of fudge which were produced from unknown regions at both the Sawn and Adams homes. Professor Adams’ en¬ thusiastic support, and apparently boundless store of photographic knowledge has been of great value to the Club. Instead of having an exhibition at every meeting, as was the custom last year, one large one was held early in April in the reception room of the “Y.” This represented the work of the members entirely and a room full of excellent prints was shown. In every respect the Club bas had a pleasant and successful year and its mem¬ bers look forward to the coming year with hopes of yet greater achievements. vFTKR ATR 1923 Page two hundred twenty-four OFFICERS Honorary Chairman, Prof. W.

The organization includes prac¬ tically ninety per cent of the Mechanics on the Hill. Each month some engineer of repute has been secured to give a talk. Thanks to the different professors, who made these arrangements, the society has this year been afforded the op¬ portunity of listening to some of the most prominent engineers in this section of the country. The subjects dealt with, have been extremely interesting and the personality of the speakers has driven many good points home. As usual the season closed with a smoker and election of officers.

At the afternoon meetings papers were presented by one Senior and one Junior member of the Society on various engineering subjects. At the evening meetings outside speakers were secured, with the ex¬ ception of the January meetings, at which Professor French spoke. Some of the other speakers were: Mr. G. H. Perkins, vice-president of the Warren Bros. Co., of Boston; Mr. David Earle, city engineer of Worcester; and Mr. James Lea, of the Eastern Clay Products Association. Refreshments were served at the evening meetings, and the speakers were usually subjected to a great deal of questioning regarding their topics. This plan of procedure proved very successful, and the meetings were very well attended. 192 3 r Page two hundred twenty-six r - t -U I ifl ' i i il. ) V P ! “77ic moon shall be in the house of Saluni’ OFFICERS President, Richard F.

However, the group of chemists at Worcester Fech, known as the Sceptical Chymists, hold their bi¬ monthly meetings for a different purpose. At some of these meetings, each member must present some interesting chemical subject. Special meetings, at which prominent outside speakers lecture, add variety to the gatherings. The serving of refreshments makes a pleasing finale to each meeting. The annual “Ladies’ Night,” at which certificates are presented to the true followers of Boyle, is al¬ ways a success.

Owing to a lack of material, and the inability of the Dramatic Association to put on a sketch, the Freshman and Sophomore side-shows were abolished in favor of regular acts. The evening was started with a selection by the Glee Club, followed by the Freshman play entitled “Not on the Program.’’ This was a very amusing farce, cleverly acted. The members of the cast deserve great credit for the manner in which they represented their class. Two more members of the class then gave their parts of the program, M. B. Steele rendering two excellent baritone solos, and E. P. Wood presenting hum¬ orous negro dialect stories. These were followed by the Mandolin Club which gave several selections of popular music. The prize-winning act came next. This was an original production that has never appeared before, and in all probabilty will never be seen again. Various tricks, both new and old, were perpetrated; the physical torture class was por¬ trayed as it might be; the spirit of the Carnival reigned supreme, leaving the audience either spell-bound with suspense, or convulsed with laughter. Gunnar Winckler was then heard at his best, giving a few very exceptional ’cello solos. He was followed by the Glee Club which sang several of the Tech songs, and closed with the Alma Mater. The judges. Prof. Charles J. Adams, Prof. Herbert F. Taylor, and Mr. Luke L. Nakasian, then announced the winner of the cup, and also the winner of the poster contest. The Freshmen were especially commended for their excellent performance, although the cup was presented to the Sophomores. The gymnasium was very well decorated in streamers of crimson and gray, with large lanterns of the same color distributed around the hall. In the center were four lanterns suspended on the ends of a huge cross. Each of these bore the letters “W. P. I.,” and was lighted by a flasher. The whole effect was new, as this particular scheme of decorations has never been tried before. After the chairs were cleared away, and the posters auctioned off, dancing was enjoyed until midnight. Candy was sold by the office force under the capable direction of Miss Rugg, and all of the proceeds turned over to the “Y.” The final proceeds were div¬ ided between the Student Friendship Fund and the Scholarship Fund of the Jaro Industrial School.

J.” Robinson forgets to comb his hair. “Fat” Masten finds a magneto replacement unit. “Miggy” McAllister, our athlete, doesn’t get blamed. “Sarge” Ball becomes unmistakably collegiate. “Puttie” Putnam discards the spats. Page two hundred eighty-two C. E. 1923 oilli FACULTY First of all we must introduce our Professors French, Ives, Knight and Taylor—each one of them a fine teacher. The first one. Prof. A. W. French, or “Pa,” is the boss. If it is true that anyone who is not an engineer is a fool then “Pa” is the sanest man alive. In fact we wondered why he ever wasted his time on us, but he promptly assured us that it was great fun to be with youngsters all the time and follow them through their after lives. One great success from a Civil more than makes up for the trouble we caused him. And now our own “Reddy,” Prof. H. C. Ives, the rail¬ road man of the department. With true sorrow do we note the changing of those curly auburn locks wbich won for him the name every Civil will remember. Tbe next two are Tech alumni. The little one is Professor A. J. Knight, (“Shrimp” for shortness), and the other is “Herb” Taylor, the only Skull man among the professors on the faculty. To Professor Knight we owe our knowledge of Columbus’ theory of the earth. He was very thorough with his defense of the theory that the round, round earth was going round, to such an extent that we believed in it ourselves. As for Professor Taylor, it seems he must stay awake nights thinking of ways in which to make his courses interesting. When other means fail he reverts to his experiences and ad¬ ventures whereupon he has our immediate attention. We are going to miss tliem all as friends and as good fellows. Things we’d like to know: Why we never heard of our juisdemeanors direct from the M. E. Department. This all reminds us of the whining of a licked pup, or a kid out of school telling tales. Page two hundred eighty-three YE CLASS AT CHAFFINS Yes! These are the 192.‘i Civics Page two hundred eighty-four Our Sojourn at Chaffins The way we hiiilt our lanieci ( . U. 1. K. IT was epochal iii oui liie at Tech. I ' or the first thing it was our first introduction to that whicli we later found was a “pile of junk,” (ask Charlie). But of still greater import was the fact that we would he well fed. The first supper that w ' e saw Keddy eat assured us that if “Reddy” always ate like that he would appreciate just how we felt at times. As time wore on we soon became used to everything except the work. foi one thing, several fellows had attractions in town and others were so lazy they couldn’t even pull people out of bed. We will never forget the wonder we ex¬ perienced when the very same visitors appeared out of a clear horizon at both times we had ice cream. It was rumored that the visitors ate so much that “Reddy” abolished the ice cream idea. At times some of us missed the possibilities of a Imlletin hoard; lest we lose forever the facts we hereby chronicle. Here are some of the news items which might have appeared thereon: “Because of chronic sleeping sickness in camp ‘Beddy” will no longer shout, ‘Water wooden waiter’ at 6:30, hut will j)ostpone the call till 8:30. “The dishpan is lost forever and the market has been cornered.” “Hereafter Wallace will daily pull ‘Adenoids’ out of bed.” “The camp supervisor is still looking for information concerning the place that the cat slept during its short stay. Casey admits it was well trained and not a bit wild.” “Why has Prof. Taylor so pointedly placed a shower hath where we can all see it? (Patent rights reserved till it leaks water).” “Prof. Ives hereby issues permit to chop down any and all trees one may desire, small pines are particularly suggested.” “All axes will he sharpened daily to facilitate the above. Long handles fur¬ nished upon request, try to get them.” “Noone has yet pulled up a turning point.” Greatly did we regret the lack of depth in the brook. What say fellows.

In order to better reach down into the tank from which he was to take the sample, “Hax” took off his coat and laid it on the edge of the tank. In the course of the operation, the coat fell in and was immediately lost from view in the raw sewage. The loser procured a long pole and was fishing frantically for the coat, when the su})erintendent ap¬ peared and learned the cause of the commotion. “Your coat won’t be any good if you do get it out,” said the superintendent. “No, you’re right about the coat,” said the bacteriologist sadly, “hut,” (and here he began to fish again) “my lunch is still in the pocket.” DANCE.

I called her a hen the other day, and she has been laying for me ever since.
