If this purpose is accomplished then our efforts have borne fruit, and we may indeed feel privi¬ leged to have participated in the task of editing this annual. ®o mtr iHntlicra anil Jfatlu ' rs, tit grateful recognition of tlteir louittg seruire anil sacrifice. ttte dedicate tljis ttrirtg-sixtli no lump of ®tje Aftermatlt PRESIDENT RALPH EARLE 1 926 Page twenty-five • I I I.

I., 1887-88; Mathematics, 1888-89; Modern Languages, 1889-90; Professor of Economics and Government, 1893; Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Delta Kappa Epsilon.. Professor Haynes returned from Washington the fall of our Junior year in time to give us an insight into the subject of Economics. Dur¬ ing his stay in the National Capitol, he col¬ lected a set of anecdotes and stories which made his lecture hours well worth attending, and though the subject matter was dry, the pre¬ sentation was worth staying awake to hear. Eco¬ nomics, Government and Business Law we will try to forget, but “Jinny’s” method of pop¬ ping questions on sleeping members during lecture, his five minute quizzes, his personal stories, jokes, and smile, we will always cherish as memories. WALTER LOUIS JENNINGS A.B., Harvard, 1889, A.M., 1890, and Ph.D., 1892; Assistant Chemistry, Harvard, 1890-92; Parker Fellow at Univ. of Berlin, 1893-94; Assistant Pro¬ fessor of Chemistry, W. P. I., 1894-99; Professor of Organic Chemistry, 1900; Sigma Xi. When we speak of Dr. Jennings, we invaria¬ bly think of eight o’clock, for “The Kaiser” and “eight o’clock” are expressions which are syn- onomous. His frequent quizzes at this early hour surely started the day properly for most of us. In Qualitative his manipulation was perfect, a goal which we all strove to attain; and in Organic he had no peer. If we could but acquire a tenth of his vast knowledge of the latter, we would consider ourselves mar¬ vels. Dr. Jennings is a staunch supporter of the flourishing Sceptical Chymists, and his work as tennis coach is truly a success. “The Kaiser ” Page twenty-six 1 02.6 ZELOTES WOOD COOMBS A.B., Amherst, 1888, and A.M., 1895; Instructor in English, Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, 1888-89; Univ. of Virginia, 1889-90; Clerk and Assistant in Languages, W.

And will we ever forget “Coombsie” the day “Those fifteen noble young men went in pursuit of the drama?” Where are they now? In prison? Please forgive us for our misdeeds, Prof. Coombs—we did our best. “ Coombsie ” HAROLD BABBITT SMITH M.E., Cornell 1891; Adjunct Professor of Electrical Engineering, Arkansas State Univ., 1892-93; Pro¬ fessor, Purdue, 1893-96; W. P. I., 1896; Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Beta Theta Pi. With the electrics “H. B.” became a pass¬ word months before we had the pleasure of meeting him in class, for his various exploits were constantly foisted upon us by hero- worshiping upper classmen. In Abstracts we had little opportunity to better our acquain¬ tance with him for obvious reasons, though we must confess that the fault was ours. In De¬ sign the situation changed, and in our attempts to learn what it was all about we were obliged to take advantage of his presence. An impres¬ sive combination of the teacher and the prac¬ tical expert, “H. B.” will always stand out in our minds as one of the pleasantest of our many enjoyable associations.

P. I., 1899; Sigma Xi, Phi Sigma Kappa. When we think of Dr. Duff, we remember peculiar little cough that had a habit of occurr¬ ing frequently during Sophomore physics lec¬ tures. Yet he is famous for other things too; until recently he was known as editor and part author of a very well known physics textbook. This did not suffice for him however, so now he has written one all by himself. As to the suc¬ cess of this new volume—it cannot help but outdo the old, and that was no joke as we all know. The Physics Department has indeed an able leader in Dr. Duff. ARTHUR WIFFARD FRENCH C.E., Dartmouth, 1892; Associate Professor of Civil Engineering, 1895-98; Professor, W. P. I., 1899; Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi. One of the few dignified members of the faculty who smokes a real “corn-cob” is “Pa”. Not until the last two years did we really learn to know him. A real Engineer is he, and a fine teacher, always striving to make the course mean more to the student. It is one of his rules that he never assigns any problem that he does not do himself, and this always afforded us some consolation as we oiled our “slip- sticks” after hours of calculation and deep men¬ tal exertion. Seriously, however, we owe “Pa” our sin- cerest gratitude for his earnest efforts in our behalf. Page twenty-eight ± 92,6 I � II ll PERCY ROBERT CARPENTER A.B., Harvard, 1907; Hitchcock Fellow, Amherst, 1906-09; Assistant Dean, 1908-10; Instructor in Physical Education, 1909-10; Assistant Professor, 1910-11; Associate Professor, 1911-16; Professor of Physical Education, W. P. I., 1916; Sigma Alpha Epsilon. A dynamic individual, possessed of abound¬ ing zeal and vigor, characterizes “Doc” Car¬ penter. In a great measure the success of ath¬ letics on the hill may be attributed to his initia¬ tive. Supervising athletics and planning inter¬ scholastic and intercollegiate sport meets is his vocation. His avocation, we are told, is performing stunts on the parallel bars. As freshmen, we were perhaps brought into more intimate contact with him than with any other professor on the hill. The shrill whistle, knickers, and cap, symbolic of his love for sport, will always be remembered when physi¬ cal training and athletics at Tech are consid¬ ered. “Doc 99 “Dor 99 RAYMOND KURTZ MORLEY A.B., and A.M., Tufts, 1904; Ph.D., Clark, 1910; Instructor in Mathematics, Univ. of Me., 1904-07; W.

It has been rumored that “Doc” Morley is a candidate for a forward berth on the faculty basketball team. If so he seems to be well as¬ sured of this position, owing to practice with the chalk and waste basket in Room E.E. No. 1. Seriously, however, “Doc’s” ability in clear¬ ing up difficult points in the advanced math courses is recognized by all. His dry humor does much to maintain interest in the courses which are the fundamentals of engineering. We shall always remember “Doc” as an able teacher in the classroom, and a loyal supporter of all activities on the Hill.

P. I., 1922; Kappa Kappa Kappa, Sphinx. Of all the Faculty on the Hill, Professor Brown alone enjoys the distinction of having entered Tech with the class of ’26. During our Sophomore Year, his French “stories” and amusing anecdotes made a welcome change from the inevitable Physics and Calc. Much sought after for class banquets, he always proved an interesting and amusing speaker. He has proved himself a true and loyal sup¬ porter of activities on the Hill and a real friend of Tech men. Although we are looking for¬ ward to Commencement, we hope that Profes¬ sor Brown will take many more years to “get through” Tech. FRANCIS WILLIAM ROYS B.S., W. P. I., 1909, and M.E., 1917; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1910-16; Assistant Professor, 1917-23; Professor, 1923; Sigma Xi, Phi Sigma Kappa. Our first personal contact with “Spider” came in our Junior year, when we at least learned that “you can’t push on a string,” and that “you’ve gotta get the fundamental princi¬ ples, and then you’ll be all set.” It seems that his sole ambition is to let us in on the secrets of that well known formula, F=M.a. Upon completing a problem, we were promptly checked up on one of an assort¬ ment of “slip sticks,” usually followed by the remark that “you fellers can’t analyze,” or “why don’t you use a little common sense.” Nevertheless, we found him fair and square, and always a hard and willing worker for our future engineering success. “Spider 1 926 Page thirty PROFESSOR WILLIAM WARREN BIRD Died Jan. 24, 1926 A life of service such as he has lived must indeed entitle Professor Bird to any reward which the hereafter may hold. Educated on Boynton Hill, he returned after his graduation in the capacity of Instructor, and his marked success soon advanced him to the head of his depart¬ ment, a position which he held for a score of years. Even after his voluntary retirement from that office his interest caused him to remain as a lecturer until his death. Then he closed his term of service with a gift of $100,000, to be used under the regulation of the William Bird Foundation. “ Dingtoe” ALTON LINCOLN SMITH B.S., W. P. I., 1890, and M.S., 1899; Assistant in Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, 1890-91; In¬ structor in Mechanical Drawing, 1891-1900; Assis¬ tant Professor of Drawing and Machine Design, 1900-06; Professor, 1906-23; Professor, and Assis¬ tant to the President, 1923; Sigma Xi. We, as a class, came in contact with “Ding- toe” under the subtle and mystifying influence of kinematics. As time progressed, we realized that beneath that outer shell of calm placidity, there was a very human man, gifted with a keen sense of humor, and ever willing to help or advise troubled students. In Senior design, he was frequently heard to remark after passing judgment on some original drawing, “Manifestly, we will have to discard that design.” Yet in spite of his lack of regard for our attempts, we can not help but appreciate his earnest efforts in our behalf. 1 926 Page thirty-one II II II II II JOSEPH OLIVER PHELON B.S., (Mechanical Engineering) W. P. I., 1887, and B.S., (Electrical Engineering), 1890; M.M.E., Cornell, 1901; Instructor in Physics, W. P. I., 1887- 93; Electrical Engineering, 1896-1900; Fellow, Cor¬ nell, 1900-01; Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, W. P. I., 1901-07; Professor, 1907; Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Alpha Tau Omega. There are some reminiscences that linger longer and more sweetly than others. Promi¬ nent among these are the ones marking our initiation into the science of electricity. Those sometimes dreamy hours under “Joe’s” tute¬ lage where E. E. Principles were instilled, that clung even into our Senior year. The music of the sinusoidal flapping of the M-G belt, the frantic scanning of the meters, that Minotaur’s Lair of semi-finals from which none emerged successfully, and finally that twinkle in “Joe’s” eyes as he came out from his spider-web of connections and expounded to us, are indestructible and irreplaceable in our memory. CHARLES METCALF ALLEN B.S., W. P. I., 1894, and M.S., 1899; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1894-1902; Assistant Pro¬ fessor of Experimental Engineering, 1902-06; Pro¬ fessor, 1906-09; Professor of Hydraulic Engineer¬ ing, 1909; Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon. It is an established fact that water and fire do not get along well together, and we might call “Charlie” a sort of catalyzer between the water of Hydraulics and the fiery end of a ci¬ gar. For “Charlie” inevitably has a cigar in his mouth and “water on the brain.” “Charlie” has a wonderful stock of “popular fallacies” and trick problems and as he says: “In Hydraulics, if you get an answer that you think is wrong then you may be sure it is right.” When all other memories fail, “Charlie” Allen in the midst of his famous Gasoline Lec¬ ture will still be as vivid as ever. Page thirty-two 1 926 I I III III III III III ARTHUR WOOLSEY EWELL A.B., Yale, 1897, and Ph.D., 1899; Assistant in Physics, 1897-99; Instructor, W. P. I., 1900-04; Assistant Professor, 1904-10; Professor, 1910; Sigma Xi, Phi Beta Kappa. “Now, Jennings, go to the board and draw a vector,” are the familiar words heard in our Sophomore Physics class. The speaker, of course, was Professor—pardon, Mr. Ewell. “Punk” always objected to the title of Profes¬ sor as he felt that such a term was reserved for the bootblacks and porters. In all our classroom work with Dr. Ewell, we found him interesting, especially in his discussions of practical applications of physics. In the field of physical chemistry, he is recog¬ nized as one of the nation ' s foremost authori¬ ties, and Tech is indeed fortunate in having such a man on her Faculty. “Punk 99 “ Richey” ALBERT SUTTON RICHEY B.M.E., Purdue, 1894, and E.E., 1908; Assistant Professor of Electric Railway Engineering, W. P. I., 1905-07; Professor, 1907; Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Phi Delta Theta. Professor Richey was known to us by repu¬ tation in our earlier days on the hill, yet it is rumored that some electrics never saw him un¬ til they met him in class their senior year. He founded the local chapter of Tau Beta Pi and was the author of “Richey’s Electric Railway Handbook.” As an electrical engineer he has spent the last few years in the appraisal of railways, a work which has kept him busy and away from the Hill a great deal. For that reason he has become known to the senior electrics as the “Phantom of the E. E. Department.” Page thirty-three 1916 CARLETON ALLEN READ i n ii ii ii ii « ' .t i B.S., M. I. T., 1891; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1891-99; Professor, New Hampshire State College, 1899-1908; Professor of Steam En¬ gineering, W. P. I., 1908; Sigma Xi, Theta Chi. Little we may recall of Thermo, but we will long remember “B. A.” and his attempts to let us in on the secrets of his courses. Nor can we forget the significance of “guess you’d bet¬ ter scatter ’round a bit fellers,” and “things like that.” The question, “which is it 460 or 492, fel¬ lers,” should no longer be an uncertainty, ow¬ ing to his persistency. “B. A.’s” desire to teach men the principles has not been thwarted by any personal feeling which his methods might create. His faculty of pointing out interesting practical applica¬ tions of these principles helped to make his course interesting. DANIEL FRANCIS CALHANE A.B., Harvard, 1894, A.M., 1896, Ph.D., 1904; Assis¬ tant in Chemistry, 1899-1903; Instructor, W. P. I., 1903-12; Assistant Professor of Industrial and Electro-Chemistry, 1913-18; Professor, 1918; Sigma Xi. Dr. Calhane teaches a great variety of sub¬ jects: ranging from Industrial and Electro Chemistry to Foreign Languages; he also helps the Freshmen with their difficulties in General Chemistry; the Electrics know him well, especi¬ ally from that sponge-throwing, wash-bottle- fighting summer course, where his unknowns often puzzled the expert analysts. As for the Chemists, they will always remember “Dinny” “fairly well,” as these are his favorite words. That he is a real sport he shows by having a perfect attendance record at basketball games and his presence at Sceptical Chymists meet¬ ings can always be relied upon. “Dinny Page thirty-four 1926 I.

I., 1899-1914; Assistant Professor, 1914-19; Profes¬ sor, 1919; Sigma Xi. After we had met “Pa” Fairfield, we realized that he was a true friend and ever willing to aid us. His lectures were continually filled with interesting anecdotes connected with his vast experience. His exceedingly cool disposition and slow deliberative manner are certainly responsible for his success as a teacher. There is one thing that “Pa” will not toler¬ ate, and that is being out of step. No matter how deeply interested he may be in the con¬ versation, he always notices it. After graduating, we will miss his kind ad¬ vice and pleasing personality, and we will always regard him as our friend. “Pa” MORTON MASIUS Ph.D., Univ. of Leipzig, 1908; Whiting Fellow, Harvard, 1908-09; Instructor in Physics, W. P. I., 1909-15; Assistant Professor, 1915-19; Professor, 1919; Sigma Xi. Those of us who have had “Dutchy” in the classroom or laboratory, will never forget his classic utterances such as: “Now ' chentlemen,” and “Accuracy to point ooh ooh ooh fife.” They are as characteristic as his inevitable red tie. Although many of us — as he so candidly points out — have never been able to see the “beauty” of a particular experiment, neverthe¬ less we feel sure that they possess a real beauty to “Dutchy.” If “Dutchy” played poker, we feel quite cer¬ tain that his mathematical systems would work havoc with the equal distribution of wealth. We shall always remember Professor Masius as a gentleman, scholar and friend. Page thirty-five � ll II II II II I 1 I I CARL DUNHAM KNIGHT B.S., W. P. I., 1903, and E.E., 1908; Instructor in Electrical Engineering, 1904-08; Assistant Profes¬ sor of Experimental Electrical Engineering, 1908- 20; Professor, 1920; Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Lambda Chi Alpha. Professor Knight presides over the Electric Lab. The many features of our electrical lab¬ oratory, which make it unique and superior to Electrical Engineering Laboratories of other colleges, are due to his planning and design. His skill as a teacher, in making us forget our youth and inexperience by drawing out of us the knowledge other profs, have failed to ex¬ tract, has inspired us with confidence in our¬ selves. Loyal to Tech and her students, he has served on the Tech Council, faculty adviser to the Rifle Club and Tau Beta Pi, and as a member of Tech ' s most progressive faculty committee, that on Engineering Education. LEON E. JENKS B.S., Hamilton College, 1905, and M.S., 1908; Assis¬ tant Professor of Physical and Metallurgical Chemistry, Cooper Union, 1916-18; Professor of Analytical Chemistry, Univ. of Pittsburgh, 1918- 19; Inorganic and Industrial Chemistry, Univ. of Buffalo, 1919-21; in charge Division of Technical and Economic Chemistry, The College of the City of New York, 1922-24; Chemistry, W. P. I., 1924; Sigma Xi. In Theoretical Chemistry we met Prof. Jenks for the first time; and soon we were sorry that we would only have him again in summer practice. In Food Analysis he was a regular fellow; there would have been no final had it not been for a certain membe r of the class. In spite of numerous problems and oft occuring prelims, he is also well liked by the Freshmen. Prof. Jenks has always been found ready to help anyone who desires his advice, regardless of the nature of the problem. “Shorty” Page thirty-six 1926 II 11 II II II HARRIS RICE B.S., W. P. I., 1912; A.M, Harvard, 1922; Instruc¬ tor in Mathematics, Tufts, 1915-19; Harvard, 1918; Assistant Professor, Tufts, 1919-20; W. P. I., 1920- 24; Professor, 1924; Sigma Xi. Professor Rice is regarded as one of the ablest teachers and squarest men on the Hill. His patience in explaining difficult points has done much to give the fellows a clear under¬ standing of his courses. “Ricey,” as a Tech alumnus, is closely acquainted with all our problems and is able to realize the worth of our extra-curricula activities. As the Secretary of the Tech Council for the past few years, he has rendered valuable service in forming student policies. We will always remember “Ricey ' ’ as one of our best friends on the Hill, and fully appreciate the privilege of having studied un¬ der a man of his calibre. “Ricey “ Doc ’ CLARENCE ALBERT PIERCE B.S., Wesleyan, 1902, and M.S., 1904; Ph.D., Cor¬ nell, 1908; Assistant in Physics, Wesleyan, 1902- 04; Instructor in Electrical Engineering, Cornell, 1904-11; Assistant Professor of Theoretical Electri¬ cal Engineering, W. P. I., 1911; Sigma Xi, Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Nu Theta. No one who has listened to “Doc’s” lectures can doubt his versatility. His instruction in¬ cludes such broadening subjects as Psychology and “Why apple trees grow.” Nevertheless we agree with “Doc” that electrical units are often named with as much logic as is used in “naming the baby.” “Doc” was the first Prof, to introduce us to complex quantities and as he so aptly puts it: “The solution of A-C problems with the aid of complex is Hell, but without complex it is Hell squared.” If any of us ever have the job of “naming the baby,” we shall certainly consult with our genial friend, “Doc” Pierce. Page thirty-seven 1 926 CHARLES JOSEPH ADAMS A.B., Amherst, 1896; Instructor in Modern Lan¬ guages, W. P. I., 1908-13; Assistant Professor of English, 1913; Theta Delta Theta. “Pop” runs a dormitory on the top floor of Boynton Hall and in the name of English taught us to revere the memory of John Boyn¬ ton and to do our best for Tech. All who know “Pop” understand why he is regarded as our most popular professor, and all who have heard him speak realize why he sits at the head table at all of our important banquets. His hobby is photography and each year we have enjoyed his work at the Camera Club exhibit. As the idol of the freshman and the friend of the upper classman we wish him many more years of success. “Pop” ARTHUR JULIUS KNIGHT B.S., W. P. I., 1907; Instructor in Civil Engineer¬ ing, 1910-16; Assistant Professor, 1916-17; Assistant Professor, and Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, 1917; Sigma Xi, Theta Upsilon Omega. In spite of all the vague rumors that reached our ears during our Freshman year, we found that “Shrimp” did not live up entirely to his reputation of preventing the “commendable regularity” of the advancement from Frosh to Alumni. However, after squeezing by the many courses conducted by Prof. Knight our Junior year, we look back on him as a convinc¬ ing instructor, one well informed on his sub¬ jects, and certainly fair and square to all. In addition to his classroom duties Professor Knight is kept busy in the office of the athletic association, and superintendent of the Institute Buildings. “ Shrimp” Page thirty-eight 1926 FRANCIS JOSEPH ADAMS B.S., W. P. I., 1904; E.E., 1906; Graduate Assis¬ tant in Electrical Engineering, 1904-06; Instruc¬ tor, 1908-17; Assistant Professor, 1917; Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi. “Rip” has guided us through many weary hours of Transmission and E. E. Lab and though we find him a stickler for details, he never loses his patience with us. “Rip” hates to see anything out of its customary order—we wonder how he felt about the logs in Vermont. We shall never forget the summer inspection trip with “Rip’s” questionnaires. We doubt if they raised our mark materially. If in the years to come. Tech Electrics do not become authorities on the floodlighting of athletic fields, it will be no fault of “Rip’s”. If we ever need any “dope” on Transmis¬ sion, we will remember our good friend Pro¬ fessor Adams. “Rip” “Plimp” SAMUEL JAMES PLIMPTON Ph.B., Yale, 1905, and Ph.D., 1912; Loomis Fellow, 1905-06; Assistant in Physics, 1909-12; Instructor, 1912-13; Johns Hopkins, 1913-14; W. P. I., 1914- 19; Assistant Professor, 1919; Sigma Xi. Although “Plimp’s” manner in the class¬ room is modest and unassuming, we have nevertheless found him to be a remarkably fine teacher, and a true friend in time of need. He has just finished a book on “Physical Calculations” which was begun by the late Prof. Webster of Clark. This work is an im¬ portant addition to textbooks on that subject and “Plimp” is to be congratulated on the fine manner in which he completed the book. We shall always remember his interest in radio matters, and feel that we have indeed been fortunate to have made his friendship. Page thirty-nine 1916 I “Herb” HERBERT FOSTER TAYLOR B.S., W. P. I., 1912; Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, 1920-22; Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering, and Secretary-Treasurer of the Alum¬ ni Association, 1922; Sigma Xi, Skull, Sigma Al¬ pha Epsilon. Our first acquaintance with Professor Taylor was made during our Sophomore year when it was our pleasure to have his guidance in the courses of Surveying and “Topo.” His meth¬ ods of teaching and his pleasing personality soon made us regard him as one who had our interests at heart. Although his duties as Alumni Secretary, Editor of the Journal and Auditor of all Tech societies keep him extremely busy, he is always willing to go out of his way to be of service. Seniors outside the Civil Department will be¬ come better acquainted with “Herb” after graduation, when we will meet him in connec¬ tion with Alumni activities. BERNHARD EDWARD FERNOW A.B., Cornell, 1904, and M. E., 1906; Instructor in Experimental Engineering, 1921-23; Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, W. P. I., 1924. In our Senior year, we made our first acquaintance with Prof. Fernow. It required several recitations before we became accus¬ tomed to his whirlwind and rapid-fire methods of instruction. His ever famous bi-weekly pre¬ lims with their puzzling atmosphere will always be reminders of his course in Gas. He will always be remembered for his prac¬ ticability, and his utter contempt for textbooks. They either were at error on certain points, or they d id not explain the point concisely enough. But we always found him willing to explain any point in detail, either during or after class. “ Bernie ” Page forty l ©a© JEROME WILLARD HOWE n ii ii ii li i n ii ii ii li B.S., W. P. I., 1909; Instructor in Civil Engineer¬ ing, Penn. Military College, 1910-11; Assistant Pro¬ fessor of Civil Engineering, W. P. I., 1924; Theta Upsilon Omega. A real teacher, a fine friend, a good fellow, and an enthusiastic booster of any thing and everything connected with Tech, we take off our hats to “Jerry” Howe. Imagine our sur¬ prise to have a “prof” come around to buy a ticket for one of our many dances, attend it, enjoy himself, and mix with the students like a “regular fellow.” However, “Jerry” is also a fine teacher and his classes are made especially interesting by the introduction of many slides and photo¬ graphs. We feel sure that he will prove suc¬ cessful in his new profession. “Jerry 99 GLEASON HARVEY MacCULLOUGH ITS., W. P. I., 1918; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering 1918-24; Assistant Professor, 1924; Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi. To many of our class the first recitation in Mechanics during the first term of the Junior year was looked forward to with dread. There we were to meet the fierce and terrible “Mac.” As the weeks went by we began to wonder how our predecessors “got that way”. In Professor MacCullough we found one of the best teach¬ ers in our Institute career. “Mac” has taken an interest in undergraduate activities, and he really has won the esteem of the present un¬ derclassmen. Although “Mac” is a strict and conscientious instructor he is always willing to give any man a fair show. “Mac 99 Page forty-one HAROLD JOSEPH GAY • ii n ii ii ii ii n ii II ii 11 A.B., Harvard, 1919; A.M., Clark, 1922; Instructor in Mathematics, W. P. I., 1919-24; Assistant Pro¬ fessor, 1924. “H ppv” Gay joined the Institute teaching staff in 1919 as an instructor in the Math De¬ partment. Since then, mainly through his efforts to give the best, he has risen to his present status of assistant professor. Our clever teacher of Trigonometry and Calculus has always been an ardent supporter of Tech activities and when not attending an athletic encounter, he can be seen doing his daily doz¬ en in the gym or on the tennis courts. “Hap¬ py” has always treated us fairly and our re¬ membrances of him in the future are certain to prove themselves pleasant. “Happy” THOMAS KELGAR SHERWOOD B.S., McGill, 1923; M.S., M. I. T„ 1924; Lecturer on Chemical Engineering, W. P. 1., 1925; Alpha Chi Sigma. In spite of the fact that he rushes up from Boston three times a week and only stays with us a short hour, Mr. Sherwood always seemed right at home on the Hill. The course that he teaches masquerades under the innocent sounding title of “Chemical Engineering” but before it advanced very far we found that what it really amounted to was complete courses in Steam, Gas, Thermo, Hydraulics, and what¬ not; and the problems he handed out! He is a real fellow nevertheless and right from the start he has been high in our estimation. In¬ dividually or as a class we stand pat for the “Midget.” “The Midget ” Page forty-two 192 .© BURTON LIN WOOD GRAY Instructor in Foundry Practice, 1910- The fundamentals of this Institute are theory and practice combined, and Mr. Gray, the ever smiling Foundry Artist, took us in hand during our Sophomore and Junior years to give us our share of practice. He is our idea of the true teacher as he was always will¬ ing to meet a fellow at least halfway, and exercised unusual patience. On inspection trips he invariably called to our attention minor items which might easily have been overlooked, yet which were to prove invalu¬ able later on. Taking all in all we found his course a very practical illustration of the problems of the foundryman. WALTER WILLIAM MONROE Instructor in Pattern Making, 1912- Reminiscences of our freshman year will always bring to mind “Pop” Monroe, with his insistence on the proper order of procedure, as outlined on an infinite number of process boards. His lectures interspersed with frequent dry coughs, his efforts to pry loose from our benches time cards which had been firmly glued thereto, and his attempts to kick aside scrap stock nailed to the floor, we shall always cherish in our memories. With all his insistence on detail, however. “Pop” possesses a pleasing personality, and has earned his place in our esteem. “Fop Page forty-three 1926 ‘ Ham’ HAROLD ARTHUR MAXFIELD B.S., W. P. I., 1916; Instructor in Electrical Engineering, 1921; Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi, Lambda Chi Alpha. “Ham” is the “cut-up” of the faculty and never feels the extreme dignity (?) of his position. But despite his sarcasm, “Ham” must have had a kind heart when he smuggled some of the faculty’s rations to us up in Vermont. (Either that or he took more than he could eat himself!) “Ham” is a valuable adjunct to any E. E. Labora¬ tory since he is a human ohmmeter and can measure resistance by merely placing his fingers across the terminals ( ?). If a man really need help, “Ham” is ready but if a man is lazy—beware. HAROLD WINTHROP DOWS B.S., W. P. I., 1918; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1919; Tau Beta Pi. The “Colonel” will always he remembered for his quiet unassuming attitude, his willingness to lend his assistance to the struggling, embryonic engineer, and his somewhat antiquated flivver. His duties are as varied as the colors in Joseph’s coat, yet he never seems to lose his sense of calmness in his pursuit of them. He has always been known to lay considerable empha¬ sis on “clearance and tolerance,” and we have every reason to believe that he took the latter in a sense that was not purely engineering. Taken all in all, the “Colonel” rates with the best of them. ‘ Colonel ’ “ Sparks ” Page forty-four HOBART HALLETT NEWELL B.S., W. P. I., 1918; Instructor in Electrical Engineering, 1921; Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi. The radio bug must have bitten “Sparks” not once but many times for he eats, sleeps, and drinks radio. All of which has helped to raise him to his present authoritative position on that subject. In the classroom, his quiet, calm method of presenta¬ tion and his readiness to consider our ideas, no matter how absurd, puts a man in a better mind to believe, than does the dogmatic method of others. “Sparks” is himself a Tech man and, as one of us, we wish him every success as a partial reward for broadcasting the World’s Series in E. E. Lab. 19a© WILLIAM 11 ii i n i ii i ii i III i LEWIS PHINNEY B.S., Dartmouth, 1920; A.M, Clark, 1922; Mathematics, W. P. I., 1920; Sigma Xi. Instructor in It has been two years now since any of our class¬ mates met Mr. Phinney in the class room, but those of us who have had him will never forget the ease with which he “passed” us in Math. Nor will we readily forget his dissertations on psychology. The remark that made him famous is “You fellows should have gone to a ladies seminary instead of a technical col¬ lege.” His characteristic smile will cause him to long remembered by our class and we wish him the best of luck in the coming years. a Luke ' LUKE LOUIS NAKASHIAN Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, 1920- It is a long time since we had “Luke” in the class¬ room but we can still remember his classroom speeches on our success in freehand drawing. They were always given in a kindly manner and contained much good advice, even if it hurt. “Luke” is present on the firing line of most class banquets and his inimitable, embarrassed way of tell¬ ing a “story” always keeps the crowd with him. Re¬ member the Half-Way-Thru Banquet, “Luke”? We leave him with the hope that his success will continue and that his new Nash may have Cupid as a passenger. MERLE CHANDLER COWDEN B. S„ W. P. I., 1920, and M. S., 1923; Graduate Assistant Chemistry, 1920-21; Instructor in Modern Languages and Graduate Assistant in Chemistry, 1921-23; Instructor in Modern Languages, 1923; Sigma Xi, Skull, Theta Upsilon Omega. “Wheat” Cowden evidently lakes an extreme inter¬ est in the subject be is teaching, as he spent last sum¬ mer traveling through Central Europe enlarging his knowledge of German. He was originally a chemist, having managed four years under His Majesty, and even now he sometimes comes back to his first love by attending Seep Chymists meetings. Usually strict, but fair and impartial, “Wheat” bears our honest esteem as we bid him adieu. 1926 Page forty-five R. GRIFFIN DE LA MATER M.E., Rensselaer, 1921; Instructor in Drawing and Machine Design, W. P. I., 1921; Lambda Chi Alpha. This dashing young man, or this young man with the dashing mustache, or—dash it all— “Del” is active in student activities. Active? Sure! He originated the Knights of the Road, plans the decorations of the big dances, speaks at the mass meetings and banquets, hits the road for all the games away from Tech Hill, swanks to all the Faculty Teas, majors in the Faculty Act of the Tech Carnival—why enumerate them all? We find we like his business-like classes and willingness to help— in short—a real teacher. “Del IVAN EDWARD BIGLER Athletic Director, Juniata College, 1913-15; Physical Direc¬ tor, Bradford High School, 1920-21; Instructor in Physical Education, W. P. I., 1921. “Pete is one of the most versatile men on the Hili. His reputation as an all around athlete was well established before he came to Tech, and while here he has proved his ability as coach of three major sport teams. During the cold winter months he casually trims all comers at bridge and dreams of past fishing and hunting seasons. His ability in the last two arts has developed a natural aptitude in telling stories and shooting the bull to such an extent that no banquet is complete without him. We shall certainly miss “Pete’s” cheerful greeting in the years to come. CARL GUNNARD JOHNSON “If only all our profs were like Carl.” How often we have heard that said. Carl was our forge Instruc¬ tor, and the way he worked around that dingy room without getting dirty was always a marvel to us. But don’t judge from the first statement that we were in the habit of getting away with anything—far from it. Carl had a way of making a fellow work when that fellow really thought he was otherwise occupied. He is an ambitious chap and only a very few more classes will be able to enjoy “playing the Anvil Chorus” when he leaves the room. 1926 I I ! II I II I II I II III WILLARD ELLIOT LAWTON B.S., W. P. I., 1920, and M.S., 1922; Graduate Assistant in Physics, 1920-22; Instructor, 1922-24; Sigma Xi. Sophomore physics in itself presents none too favor¬ able an aspect and perhaps that helps to account for the fact that our first impressions of “Sis” were none too favorable. Yet as time passed we learned to appreciate him for his readiness to lend his every assis¬ tance, his evident knowledge of the subject, and the general fair minded manner in which he conducted himself. “Sis” bears little resemblence to a steam calliope, yet we cannot help but feel that he has his place in the parade of life, and we wish him Godspeed. “ Sis ' ’ “Earle” EARLE RUSSELL CLOSSEN A.B., Clark, 1920; Instructor in Modern Languages, North- bridge High School, 1921-22; French, Crosby High School, Waterbury, Conn., 1922-23; Modern Languages, W. P. I., 1923; Kappa Phi. Some of us who took French were treated during our Sophomore year to a galaxy of jokes and stories which made Earle’s class as interesting as College Hu¬ mor. Earle always had witticsms on tap and has been known to supply the class with interesting literature. Because he is easy to look at, easy to talk to and easy to get along with, it is easy to see why Earle will have an easy time easing future classes through the mysteries of the French language. KENNETH GERALD MERRIAM S.B., M. I. T., 1922; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, Univ. of Maine, 1922-23; W. P. I., 1923; Theta Upsilon Omega. “K. G.” is a product x)f M. I. T. but we forgive him for that. Since he is still young enough to be in front of the desk rather than behind it, he has always been able to see our point of view, and his clearness of ex¬ planation is notorious. His continual search for a partner for a squash game keeps “Mac” and “Percy on the jump, and few students are better squashers than he. Each year the students regard him with greater respect and we look forward to seeing him advance rapidly in the future 1926 Page forty-seven CARL WILLIAM LARSON B.S.M.E., Northeastern, 1923; Instructor in Mechanical Engineering, W. P. I., 1923. We first collided with Mr. Larson during our Fresh¬ man year in the course of Mechanical Drawing, and quite a collision it was for no matter how particular we were with our drawing plates “Wolf” always had many suggestions and changes to make. As we became better acquainted with him, we came to realize that it was only a high degree of interest in our welfare that made him perhaps a trifle over zeal¬ ous with his red pencil. We now realize that our pred- judices as cub Freshmen were entirely wrong, and are proud to claim “Wolf” as one of our best friends in the M. E. department. MAURICE EDWARD SMITH B.A., Univ. of New Brunswick, 1917; M.A., Univ. of Toron¬ to, 1919, and Ph.D., 1921; Assistant in Chemistry, 1917-21; Lecturer in Organic Chemistry, Queen’s University, 1921- 22; Instructor in Analytical Chemistry, W. P. I., 1924; Sigma Xi. “Who did that! I must know who did that! Now who did it!” Out of his lair comes “Tombstone,” the lion tamer, hot on the scent of some unfortunate rule- breaker. Who can forget these pet expressions? And who among ye cannot see that vivid picture of him playfully skipping from log to log in his far off Can¬ ada? But when the marks come out, all of us realize his importance and the station he occupies in our affec¬ tions. May he live long and, like good liquor, improve with age. EDWARD CHOATE BROWN A. B., Harvard, 1918; M.A., Univ. of Maine, 1923; Instruc¬ tor in Mathematics, General Electric Engineering School, 1918-21; Univ. of Maine, 1921-24; W. P. I., 1924. We did not get to know Mr. Brown through class¬ room relations as he has been on the Hill during the past two years only. However, from all reports, he has made a very successful start as instructor of Mathe¬ matics, and is well liked by the underclassmen. He is noted for his somewhat eccentric manner of pacing round about the recitation room while in the process of popping questions at the students, but this adds rather than detracts from his impressiveness in driving home the fundamentals of “Math.” “ Silent ” Page forty-eight 1926 I I: I I II CARL FREDERICK MEYER B.S., W. P. I., 1922; Instructor in Civil Engineering, 1924; Tau Beta Pi. Sigma Xi, Theta Chi. We were just too late to make a classroom acquain¬ tance with Mr. Meyer, and according to all reports from the Sophomores and Juniors who have had his instruc¬ tion in Surveying and Railroads, we have certainly been unfortunate in this respect. Mr. Meyer’s return to his Alma Mater as instructor in the Civil Department comes after several years spent with the U. S. Coast and Geode¬ tic Survey. With this wealth of experience gained, to¬ gether with his keen interest in the presentation of his courses, we find him one of the best liked instructors on the Hill. HOWARD STERLING NUTTING B.S., W. P. I., 1923; Graduate Assistant in Chemistry, 1923-24; Instructor, 1924; Sigma Xi. Mr. Nutting is probably more intimately known by the Senior Chemists than by any other group of fellows on the Hill. He has guided the Freshmen, initiating them into the most profound mysteries of Chemistry, and in Organic Lab, has navigated the Seniors through rough seas. He is untiring in his efforts, and although a quiet chap, and not one who pushes himself into the limelight, we are confident that he will find his fund of chemical knowledge, and his good fellowship a great asset towards his purpose. The Class of 1926 wishes him the best of success in all of his future un¬ dertakings. PAUL CAMPBELL SHEDD B.S., W. P. I., 1924; Student Assistant in Physics, 1923-24; Instructor, 1924; Sigma Xi. Our acquaintance with Mr. Shedd developed during our Junior course in Physics Laboratory. There we were confronted with a very tall young man, of rather serious countenance, who soon impressed us with the extent of his knowledge in his chosen field. In the difficulties of the several experiments that fol¬ lowed we appreciated the ease with which he dashed off error calculations, always clearing up any doubts that existed. This completes two years of “Stretch’s” career as an instructor, and we certainly wish him suc¬ cess for the future. i “ Stretch ” 1926 Page forty nine Assistants Martha Elizabeth Strong Assistant Bursar Assistant Bursar, W.

I. 1922; Ad¬ dress: 105 Clover Street, Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E.; Rope Pull (1, 2). In the fall of 1922 a bashful voung man entered the Institute and immediately fell into scholastic difficulties. Yet, in the following year his classmates began to notice that Henry was not at all “dumb.” During the last two years, in spite of the fact that he spent almost every evening with his “stenographer,” his work was always done in the best of form, and he neared the head of the class. Yes, Henry has a girl, and you can take his word for it that he misses her when he makes those long trips with the Mendelssohn Glee Club. “Hen” has always been one of the most popular Mechanics and we know that he always will he. ROBERT HOLLINS ALBERTI “Tar” “A l ” ©X TBn Civil, born July 1, 1904; Prep. Greenfield High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 354 Sil¬ ver Street, Greenfield, Mass. Rope Pull (1, 2); Class Track (2); Y. M. C, A. (1, 2) ; A. S. C. E. We are favored by having as a classmate, “Tar,” the man of a thousand twists, who can do anything that the best of Barnum’s ever tried. And his abilities are not physical alone as his classwork shows. If you want to know, just go to “Tar.” It is also cpiite well known that his abilities as a “sheik” are not to be scorned, and, in fact, we are told that it’s never the same lady twice. But they say he’ll settle down and show just what kind of an engineer we produce at Tech, some things—watch your step! Good luck, “Tar,” but in Page fifty-two 1926 KENNETH ROYDEN ARCHIBALD “ Ken ” “ Archie ” hrA Chemist; Born June 23, 1902; Prep. Black River Academy, Worcester Academy; Entered W. P.

Musical Association (3, 4); Rope Pull (1, 2); Skeptical Chymists. “Ken’’ conies to us from the wooded hills of Vermont, where men are men and women are their natural prey. After spending a successful year at Wor¬ cester Academy, he entered Tech to try his luck as a chemist. From what we have seen he ought to make a success in this line of en¬ deavor and we all wish him luck. However, “Ken’s” attentions have not all been on studies and College activities. His affection for the fairer sex finally got the best of him and now he is a devoted husband. We wish him luck in his new adventure and feel sure he will he prosperous in years to come. WALTER FRANK AMES “Jack” ATQ Mechanic; Born May 19, 1904; Prep. Colby Acad¬ emy; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: Wenham, Mass.

E.; Rope Pull (1, 2). “Jack” basked in the limelight early in his career at Tech, when a local newspaper crossed connections in the association of names with faces and ran a cut of our hero with a write-up on a well known tenor of the same surname. Yet this mistake was not entirely unwarranted, for his musical ability enabled him to perform on the piano, trombone, drums and victrola. In his senior year, “Jack” cultivated a great fondness for Wilmington, Delaware, and since then has kept in constant com¬ munication with that city. Still, those who know say that he has evei justifica¬ tion for his interest. Page fijty-three Il II II II II RUSSELL FRANCIS BARKER “Russ” 2AE Mechanic; Born July 10, 1904; Prep.

E. “Russ” came into prominence soon after his arrival at Tech with the Class of 1926. This was on the occasion of his winning a long dis¬ tance story-telling contest from a field of some of the best qualified members of the class. Now that he is about to leave Tech, the B. and M. will probably pull up its tracks between here and Keene, for, as everyone knows, there is an attraction there for “Russ” that keeps that route alive. Although he never lets his studies inter¬ fere with his affinity for the fairer sex, he has succeeded in impressing the faculty better than most of us have, and we hope that he will be as successful in his future affairs. HAROLD ARTHUR BAINES “ Beanie ’ 0YCJ Electric; Born May 27, 1905; Prep. Orange High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 62 Pleas¬ ant Street, Orange, Mass. Glee Club (2, 3). When you hear a merry whistle and a trip¬ ping tread approaching and playing a tune on the pavement, you’ll know that “Beanie” has fooled another prof and is still right in line for a sheepskin. That this dapper OVange youth has been with us for four years we are well aware, for he has been much in evidence. It is socially that “Beanie” is at his best, however, and we must not forget the many conquests he has made and hearts broken in these short years. No party or dance would have been complete without him. Wherever he may go, the best wishes of his many friends at Tech go with him for a happy future. Page fifty-four 1 Il II II II II I I.

Class Soccer (2); Rope Pull (1, 2). “Bergie ' ' has made himself known as one of the more jovial spirits of the class. When he isn’t enjoying a good laugh he can really be serious, and he can work well. “Bergie” has been an ardent follower of all the sports at Tech, and could usually be found, in his spare time, displaying his wares upon the basketball court. Although he has occasion¬ ally figured in some escapades, he has shown that at times he can be a good student. We will always remember “Bergie” as a pop¬ ular and good-natured individual, and as he leaves to take his place in the world, we wish him the greatest success as a reward for his labors. WALTER RUEL BENNET “Wally” “Ben” tbii Mechanic; Born July 7, 1903; Prep. Springfield Tech High School; Entered W. P. 1. 1922; Ad¬ dress: 45 Berkshire Street, Indian Orchard, Mass. A. S. M. E.; Wireless Club; Class Soccer (1); Rope Pull (1, 2). “Walt” hails from Indian Orchard, which, as he is ever reminding us, is a part of Springfield. During his freshman year he was so busy applying himself to his studies and working that he did not look at the girls. After his sophomore year, however, he could no longer be called girl shy. Since those visits at “Ma” Day’s, he has had an increasing number of social events with the fair sex. We always find him ready to help with the difficult problems. Walter’s record at Tech shows that he has genuine ability to do difficult things and we have no doubt that this ability will help him get along in the world. 1926 Page fifty-five I I ARTHUR ROLAND BROWN “ Brownie” “Art” PTA Electric; Born July 25, 1904; Prep. Gardner High School; Entered W. P. I. 1925; Address: 52 West- ford Street, Gardner, Mass. Track (3); Tech Show (2, 3 ' ; Tech News (2, 3) ; Wireless Club Sec. (3, 4); Camera Club Sec. (1) ; Rope Pull (1, 2). “Long” Arthur Brown came from Gardner a few years ago, and after a while joined the fifteen months’ experience crew. While “Art” was away he obtained a great deal of experi¬ ence outside of the electrical line, and now he receives his daily news letter, and sometimes a special on the side. He has another hobby in radio, and even now he may be found in the wee small hours trying to get Australia. “Art” has hopes of becoming a big Electrical Railway Engineer, and from what we know of him there seems to be no reason why his hopes should not be realized. GERHARDT ALBERT BITTNER “Bit” “Jerry” ATO Mechanic; Born Feb. 8, 1903; Prep. Adams High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: Adams, Mass Basketball (1, 2, 4); “W” (2); A. S. M. E.; Knights of the Road (3, 4); Captain Class Basketball (1, 2) ; Class Vice-Pres. (3a) ; Chairman Parade Com. (1); Rope Pull (2); Asst. Manager, Baseball (3); Class Soccer (1). How “Bit” ever waded through four years of engineering with only one monthly grade below passing is a mystery to us, when we con¬ sider his numerous outside activities. Yet such is the case, and in addition to following a heavy social schedule he has found time to win the coveted Basketball “W.” His athletic ability, coupled with a pleasing personality, has placed “Bit” way up in the esteem of his classmates, and if a man’s college record is at all indicative of success, he has little to fear for his future in the field of engineering.

(4a); Rope Pull (1, 2); Class Soccer (2, 4); Class Basketball (2). “Brewie” is a living example of the old max¬ im, “Where there’s a Will there’s a Way,” and the saying applies to things that he doesn’t wish to do as well as to those he does. His ambitions have been many since he first appeared at Tech, and as yet he has never been known to fail in gratifying them. He is now ambitious to find, in about five years, a beautiful girl who will love him. It is not necessary to wish him luck for we know that he will succeed. GRIDLEY BUDDY “ Bud” ©X Chemist; Born April 17, 1904; Prep. Cushing Ac¬ ademy; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 64 Care- ton Street, East Orange, N. J. Tech News (1); Glee Club (1); Vice-Pres. Skep¬ tical Chemists (3), Pres. (4); Rope Pull (1). “Grid” hails from New Jersey, but is a prod¬ uct of Massachusetts Prep Schools. His career since he entered Tech has been limited to Main South, the Hill, and Main South, with an oc¬ casional sojourn at the House to eat, sleep, or telephone Main South. He has avoided the back door more because of his aptness for make-ups than his diligent attention to studies, his only unredeemed failure being an attempt to substitute quality for quantity in Physical Education. The “Duke” is most deservedly popular among his friends and is chiefly noted for his ability to prove that a straight line is not always the shortest path between two points. 1 926 Page fifty-seven DOUGLAS STERLING BURNS “Red” ATO Electric; Born Nov. 15, 1903; Prep. Taunton High School; Entered W. P. I. 1921; Address: 264 Bri¬ tannia Street, Taunton, Mass. Ass. Manager Football (3) ; Tech News (3) ; Man¬ dolin Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Manager (2); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Orchestra (2, 3, 4), Leader (3, 4); Band Leader (3, 4); Class Soccer (1); Rope Pull ( 2 ). Since “Red’s” arrival in Worcester several years ago, he has been much sought after on account of his musical genius as well as for his “schoolgirl complexion” and wavy red hair. He has been the shining light of the College Orchestra, and he reached the pinnacle of his musical career here at Tech when a Springfield paper announced recently that “Red Burns would appear in person with his Tech Crescents at a dance in South Hadley Falls.” Naturally we all hope his great success will continue when he goes out into the cold world on his own. RAYMOND HERMAN BJORK “Ray” Mechanic; Born Nov. 24, 1904; Prep. Worcester North High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Ad¬ dress: 35 Otsego Road, Worcester, Mass. Ass. Art Editor Aftermath; A. S. M. E. We regret that we have one man who is not an engineer, as might be seen in any class dur¬ ing the prof’s absence. His natural bent is toward curves and pretty faces, and his abilities are unquestionably along this line. Wherever the crowd gathers, there “Ray” may be found wielding his crayon to the delight of all, and sometimes favoring a lucky classmate with a treasure. Although diminutive in stature, his ability as a critic of fashion are enormous. Best wishes to you, “Ray,” whether you get derricks or dresses.

After some slight acquaintance with “Railroads,” un¬ der “Reddy” Ives, “Mush” decided to try the E. E. course. In addition to his numerous ac¬ tivities, he is noted for the cinders in his raisin (?) bread, his keen putting eye on the “Munie” golf course, and his Peter Rabbit stories. As he is to be on the Hill for another year, we wish him the best of luck in baseball, basketball, and whatever other interests he may pursue. LEONARD CONNELL CALDER .

Football (1, 2, 3, 4), “W” (2, 3, 4); Track (2, 3, 4); Class Basketball (1, 2); Rope Pull (1, 2). Swansea, the town where men are men and plumbing is terrible. Such was the place whence “Len” came forth, and not third. He chose Worcester for educational purposes and as a field for reform work, hut in spare moments found time for varsity football and second team basketball, as well as other activities. At the end of his junior year, he left Boynton Hill to study with the General Electric Company and returned a year later. In closing, we might add that there were only two times when “Len” was not busy with the fair sex, and these were when he was studying, and when he was not studying.

It is hardly four years ago that “Ray” came down from the hills of New Hampshire to join our class on its cruise through the trials and tribulations of a Tech course. He has, mean¬ while, made a fine record for himself. His work as Managing Editor of the Tech News and the Aftermath make him worthy of our highest esteem. Besides these journalistic ac¬ tivities he was a promising soccer player his Freshman year, hut was required to give up this sport, due to his other endeavors. “Ray’s”’ willingness to push a thing through to final accomplishment, his fine personality and his ability to make friends assure his future success.

Football (1, 2, 3, 4), “W” (2, 3, 4), Capt. (4); Track (1, 2), “W” (2); Class Baseball (2); Treas. A. S. C. E. (4). Although Sture is one of the quietest men in the class, he is also one of the most active. His four years of football culminated in his leading one of Tech’s most successful elevens through the 1925 season. Sture was also a weight man on the track squad. He spent one summer’s vacation in the stu¬ dent section gang of the D. and H. Railroad, and according to reports, it was a real summer. We feel sure that Sture’s characteristic as a conscientious worker will put him on top, no matter what field he enters. 192 .© Page sixty ORMOND JAMES CHINNOCK “Orm” AXA Chemist; Born May 24, 1903; Prep. North High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 377 Chandler Street, Worcester, Mass. Rope Pull Coxswain (1). Out of the doors of North High “Orm” came to join our illustrious Class of 1926. Although he was so small that he might even have been missed by the Sophs on registration day, they say good things come in small packages, and he proved no exception. Now even the fresh¬ men recognize his work, for in Chern. Lab. and around the Hill you will find they address him as “Mister.” And they are not the only ones who appreci¬ ate him, if all signs are true—else why these frequent trips to Boston? But say, “Ormie,” why don ' t you bring her around sometime as we’re very curious about this mystery? FRANK HESTER COSGROVE “Frank” 2AE TB1I 2H Civil; Born Sept. 11, 1905; Prep.

E.; Aftermath Board; Mgr. Golf Team (4). Who’s that coming down the street? And in a brown derby, at that? The answer is “Frank,” of course. “Frank” came to us from North High four years ago filled with ambition but minus the Derby. Now that he has sharked and smiled his way through the evils of the C. E. course, he has startled Tech’s sobriety by blossoming forth in a “brown benny.” To put it mildly, “Frank” has been one of the most popular and busiest men of the class. Few of us ever imagined that this quiet, unassuming classmate of ours was one of the State’s best golfers. “Frank’s” ready smile and cheerful assistance insure his future success and happiness.

I. 1922; Address: 275 Middle Street, Fall River, Mass. A. S. M. E.; Tech News (1, 2, 3); Rope Pull (1). Four years ago, there came into our class one of the cadets of Durfee High School. “Bill,” as he soon came to be known, was very quiet and unassuming, which is the way of men of worth. But he has done more than study, which, by the way, is one of the reasons for his being here; and he has now become an ar¬ dent supporter of all social functions held on the Hill and elsewhere. We are going to miss his cheery smile along with the good humor and fun that accompany his growlings after Commencement and shall look forward to seeing him again, when we are no longer under the shadows of Boynton Hall. RUDOLPH THEODORE DANSTEDT “Rudy” Electric; Born Oct. 3, 1904; Prep. Worcester Clas¬ sical High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Ad¬ dress: 32 Wabash Ave., Worcester, Mass. A. I. E. E.; Tech News (3, 4); Rope Pull (1, 2). Aided and abetted by the sophomore class, “Rudy” entered the portals of Tech in the Fall of 1922, and since then has acquired an en¬ viable reputation for gettings things done well. This was especially true when he came to classes and “hit” most of the quizzes and tests, at times under the most adverse conditions of previous preparation and sleep. “Rudie’s” philosophy on all sorts of subjects is entertaining as well as elucidating, and many are the times that he has demonstrated his abil¬ ity in this “line” to his listeners congregated in the locker room. If persistence and hard work count for anything, “Rudie’s” success is assured. Page sixty-two 1926 I II I PHILLIP RANSFORD DELPHOS “Phil” “Push” Skull Mechanic; Born June 27, 1903; Prep.

Along with college work, he has managed to represent some of the leading pr ovision firms on the Hill, to say nothing of his success as a “cub” reporter. He was a star in basketball, and it was there that he contracted the well known nickname, “Push.” “Push” has taken up the Mechanical course, but from his various dealings we would suggest that he become a salesman. DONALD GRAHAM DOWNING “Don” “Fat” d 2K Skull Civil; Born Jan. 8, 1905; Prep. Worcester South High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 171 Highland St., Worcester, Mass. Manager Basketball (4) ; Assoc. Editor After- math; News Editor, Tech News (4); Tech Show (1, 2); Vice-Pres. Masque (3); Junior Marshall (3); Class Football (2); Class Basketball (2). “One sitting in,” yells “Fat,” and so the card game begins. Yes, “Fat” is a card shark, hut that is only one of his many ways of enjoying life. Seriously, though, he has done lots of good work on the Hill. He has turned his hand to writing, acting and managing, to say nothing of his good work as interference in inter-class football. Possibly his greatest ability lies in organizing, for in this he may be said to thrive, and the organization thrives with him. When “Fat” graduates there will be left a void on the Hill that it will take at least two good men to fill. 926 Page sixty-three I I ll ll IIII HARRY BENJAMIN FELDMAN 4 BA Chemist; Born April 28, 1904; Prep.

Perhaps his most noteworthy accomplishment is “A” in Organic. This alone places him in a class by himself. He intends to enter the teaching profession, hut we understand that he is finding it difficult to choose between Mechanical Drawing and Quantitative Analysis. If he chooses the latter may he teach his class not to boil H 2 S0 4 in the same hood with a Sulphur Determination. ROBERT JOSEPH FOLEY ‘Red” ‘Bob’ Electric; Born Dec. 17, 1903; Prep. St. John’s High School and Worcester Classical High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 24 Pattison St., Worcester, Mass. Newman Club; A. I. E. E. “Believe me, a thousand friends suffice thee not.” “Bob” is one of the most congenial, thor¬ oughly likeable chaps in the college. His cap¬ tivating smile is idle at no time and at no place. It is the reflection, too, of a genial, generous and sympathetic disposition, in the warp and woof of which runs no dark thread of cynicism. Although he never approached the realm of the grind, “Boh” made it his aim to acquit himself becomingly in his classes. We know not what the future holds in store for our “Bob,” but feel assured that if earnest zeal with high ideals can win in the game of life, he is on the march to a glorious victory. “If you go we’ll all go.” Page sixty- four 1 926 I “M i CARROLL DEXTER FORRISTALL f K Electric; Bom Jan. 1, 1904, Lawrence, Mass.; Prep.

Musical As¬ sociation (3); Junior Marshall; Class Soccer (1, 2) ; Rope Pull (1, 2). “Cal” is one of those fellows to whom every¬ body, especially the fair sex, are immediately attracted. He hails from the “City of Homes,” and ’tis rumored that ’ere long he will have a little home of his own there. “Cal” believes in the maxim, “It pays to ad¬ vertise,” as is proved by his work as Advertis¬ ing Manager of the Tech News. As a musician he is in his own element, being especially proficient with the saxophone. We know “Cal will be a big success in the world of business as he was in school, and we wish him great success in his journey through life. We will always remember ability and power to analyze. ANTHONY FRANCIS FENNELLY 1 ony Electric; Born Nov. 24, 1904; Prep. Worcester Classical High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Ad¬ dress: 69 Piedmont St., Worcester, Mass. After convincing himself that all courses at Tech were easy, “Tony” never let his studies interfere with his outside activities. He will be well remembered for his diverse orations in a vernacular far above the sphere of a mere Tech senior. Because of this attri¬ bute he has always been looked upon to furnish authentic information on all worldly matters. He has pursued social activities with great zest, and no class gathering was complete with¬ out his presence. “Tony” is a fervent exponent of “Charlie” Allen’s Q equals AV, for Hydraulics proved no nemesis to him. “Tony” because of his cheerful mood, scholastic Page sixty-jive 1 926 FREDERICK DAWSON FIELDER ‘Fret’ TBIT Electric; Born August 4, 1905; Prep.

Why, what this boy can’t do with funny faces is-well, just pe¬ ruse thru this here compendium of the illus¬ trious Class of 1926 and judge for yourself; all of which simply means that “Fred’’ certainly did his little bit in getting pictures for this volume. But do not think that that is all; he bats a fast ball at squash and tennis, over¬ hauls his Oakland about every other week, likes Poli’s pretty well, and then he goes and draws a flock of marks as pretty as anyone would like to see. We are not going to say that we predict Fred’s success; it is an absolute fact already. ROBERT WELLAR GILLETTE “Bob” 2AE Electric; Born Oct. 29, 1905; Prep. Holyoke High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address; 312 Pleas¬ ant St., Holyoke, Mass. Junior Editor, Tech News (3) ; Musical Ass’n. (1, 2, 3); Vice President (3); Advertising Mgr. Tech Show (3); Junior Marshall; Advertising Mgr. Aftermath. Well! Here’s “Bob,” the boy organist, who claims the village of Holyoke as his seat of operations. How we have envied him his vari¬ ous accomplishments. Among other things, his social life has been far above par during the time he has been enrolled at the Institute. His favorite pastime is pounding some classic on the piano and he certainly can pound; the greater the volume, the greater his satisfaction. “Bob’s” musical talent is by no means limited to classics, as anyone will say who has heard him play some of the popular songs of the day. The Class of ’26 wishes “Bob” the best of luck and is confident that he will soon make his mark in the world.

Baseball (3), “W” (3); Capt. Class Baseball (2); Football (1); Track (1, 2); Class Vice-Pres. (lb); Rope Pull (1). “Big Ben” is a Worcester lad who many years ago decided to be an engineer. It was wisely that he chose not to allow his studies or outside interests to entirely monopolize his time, but to go out for baseball with vim. We remember “Ben” chiefly for his ability as a first baseman, for it was rarely possible to peg him one he could not stop. At the hat he was consistent and sure. We may characterize “Ben” by speaking of his ready good nature and easy-going manner, which has made him many friends. Our wish for the future is good luck and success. ARTHUR WATSON HALEY “Stubby” “Watson” 0YH Electric; Born Feb. 4, 1902; Prep. Worcester North High School; Entered W. P. I. 1921; Ad¬ dress: 11 Prospect St., Princeton, Mass. Tech Show (3); Interfraternity Council; Wireless Club Treas. (2), Vice-Pres. (3) ; Tech News (2, 3, 4), Sec. (3); Rope Pull (2); Junior Prom Com. A genial good humor, a smiling countenance and a ready wit, combined with real ability and the faculty of adopting a serious mien when the occasion demands, and we have enumer¬ ated “St ubbie’s” chief characteristics. During the past two years, his week-ends were not his own, and a great deal of time has been spent under the spell of one of Worcester’s fairest. To offset this failing he demonstrated rare taste in waiting a year to graduate with our class. “Stubbie” leaves Tech with everyone his friend, and it is with their sincere cood wishes that he goes to the outside world to achieve inevitable success. o o Page sixty-seven 1 926 I I I I I ROBERT HARTWELL HAMBLIN “Bob” “Ham” 2AE Mechanic; Born April 4, 1901; Prep. Worcester Academy; Entered W. P. I. 1921; Address: 10 State St., Worcester, Mass. Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Class Track (1). One fall day many years ago, “Bob’s” long legs brought him to this domain of work. He looked around and decided that Tech was not such a bad place to park, so here he is. “Bob” has made us all envious in one respect, in that never in his career has he been known to ap¬ pear in time for an eight o’clock, and yet he passes his courses. He also has an insatiable desire for fireworks as anyone in his E. E. Lab. division will agree. Just ask the man what 25 O.V. means, and see what happens. We wish you all sorts of success, “Bob,” in whatever you may tackle after leaving Tech. FRANK RAMA GREEN “Ray” “ Greno” 2AE Electric; Born May 22, 1905; Prep. Holyoke High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 12 St. James Ave., Holyoke, Mass. Wireless Club; Tech News (3); Interfraternity Council (4). Holyoke’s annual contribution to Tech brought “Ray” to us in our freshman year, l or a time he kept his own counsel, hut con¬ ditions alter men, and now he will hold forth with any man. “Ray” is never so happy as when he is arguing the pros and cons of a question from behind an immense haze of ciga¬ rette smoke; unless perhaps, it is when he is listening to dreamy music with all the lights dimmed. His career at Tech has been very successful in diet with certainty that “Ray” and “Success” will has been graduated.

I. 1922; Address: 74 Maple Hill Ave., New Britain, Conn. A. S. M. E.; Rifle Team (1, 4); Radio Club; Rope Pull Coxwain (2). “Sledge” Hammar is a Viking bold who hails from Connecticut. His ancestors probably came over in the Mayflower with their retinue of galley slaves. The contemporary scion of this noble lineage came to Worcester Tech four years ago and by his force and ability to hit things hard he earned his nickname. Dame Rumor says that during the last years of his stay at Tech he has turned to more gentle and subtle fields of endeavor, earning the additional nickname of “Sheik.” He has earned the honor of Tau Beta Pi and of Sigma Xi, and his ability will doubtlessly be rewarded by further success after Commencement. ELMER HANSEN “Andy” Electric; Born Jan. 28, 1904; Prep. Deering High School; Entered W. P. I. 1921; Address: 65 Ran¬ dall St., Portland, Maine. Wireless Club; A. I. E. E. Rope Pull (1, 2). Judged solely by his name it might be as¬ sumed that E. Hansen is a native of Sweden; but he isn’t—Portland, Me., was the spot and 1904 the year. After obtaining his early train¬ ing in Portland, the year 1921 found him an embryo electrical engineer at W. P. I. Suc¬ cessfully completing three years here, he de¬ cided to cast his lot with the G. E. Co., at Schen¬ ectady, and so we have him with us this year. Although he isn’t one of the self-confessed sharks of the class, the close observer will notice that he is always there when called upon. Even with a judge like “Mac,” he has never been tried and found wanting. We wish him luck.

Cross Country (1, 2, 3), “1926” (1), “cWc” (2); Vice-Pres. A. S. C. E. (3) ; Junior Marshall (3) ; Junior Prom Com. And still the wonder grew, that one small head could hold all that he knew.” Anyone who has seen “Cy” engaged in con¬ versation would never think him the long- winded individual who was so outstanding in Cross-Country and Coombsie’s debates. Despite his application to studies, “Chil” is a familiar sight at any dance or other social function on the Hill, and many of us would be glad to know where he gets his inexhaustible supply of the sweeter sex. “Cy’s” straightforwardness and frankness are sure to put him high in the esteem and respect of the community with which he casts his lot. ARNOLD PERCY HAYWARD “Pot” AX A Skull Electric; Born June 1, 1903, Lowell, Mass.; Prep. Stevens High School, Claremont, N. H. and Uni¬ versity of New Hampshire; Entered W. ,P. I. 1921; Address: 15 Grant St., Claremont, N. H. Track “W” (2, 3), Relay (2, 3), Capt. (3); Rope Pull (2). You can never keep a good man down. After assuming the responsibilities of marital life, “Pot” has returned to our fold and again is showing his mettle. We missed “Pot” last year and it’s good to have him back with us again. After captaining the Track Team for one year he was unfortunately unable to lend his veteran strength this year. He came to us from New Hampshire State, hut has been somewhat ham¬ pered “par la langue Francais.” We do not doubt that many valuable things are stored away in his kit of learning, and we all wish “Pot” success in all his undertakings. When he leaves the portals of good old W. P. I., may things point Hay-ward. Page seventy 1926 FRED HERBERT HEDIN “ Colonel” “Fritz” TBIT Electric; Born April 24, 1903; Prep. Windham High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 4 Oak St., Willimantic, Conn. A. I. E. E.; Radio Club; Tech News (3); After- math Board. Little did we realize the first time we saw this small hoy from Willimantic that he would some day be the Steinmetz of our class. “Fred¬ die” has, however, exceeded all our anticipa¬ tions and really achieved that acme of perfec¬ tion, the ability to crash a course and at the same time have certain peculiar views of his Prof’s life in future worlds. All this he has accomplished by using his unexcelled wit and good humor. It is for this, more than for the excellent work he has done on the Aftermath that he will long be remembered. Whatever work he goes into, we feel sure that his good cheer will always bring him success. FREDERICK VAUGHAN HASKELL “Fred” 0YH Electric; Born June 1, 1903; Prep. Worcester North High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Ad¬ dress: 8 Shawmut St., Worcester, Mass. Rope Pull (2). “Since it’s getting rather toward the end of the hour, it is unlikely that Mr. Haskell will join us this morning,” and with this remark by the professor, the class realizes that “Freddie” is less punctual than usual. He did attend classes occasionally, and at those times startled the gray-beards with his fund of knowledge. Moreover, was always ready to help, hence his popularity. “Fred” was once seen with a hook, usually with his auto, always with his pipe, but never with a member of the fair sex. At stag parties, however, his presence was al¬ ways in evidence, and Tech has had a loyal booster in this son of Worcester.

Newman Club; Rope Pull (2). Walter is best known as the man who would not suffer a reduction in dignity by appearing for “Cy” MerrianTs make-up exam in the Soph¬ omore steam course. For such an ordinarily quiet fellow, it was surprising how much excitement he could stir up, and how much faculty reputation he could ruin while on the inspection trips to well known points northwest. “Walt” is going to New York after gradua¬ tion, where, of course, he will have ample op¬ portunity to use his rare and smoothly-working technique, to the envy and chagrin of the New York “Johnnies.” Wherever he is, his ability to make and keep friends has shown us that he is already several laps around on the road to success. RICHARD PATRICK HOULIHAN “Hap” “Dick” Electric; Born Oct. 24, 1904; Prep. Springfield Technical High School, Springfield Junior College; Entered W. P. I. 1923; Address: 59 Cass St., Springfield, Mass. Newman Club; A. I. E. E.; Knights of the Road. “Hap” decided that he wished to go into the engineering profession while in Tech High School in the neighboring city of Springfield. So, after graduating and going to Springfield Junior College for a year, he joined the Class of ’26 at the beginning of our sophomore year. Always wearing a broad smile, “Hap” soon became popular with everyone he met on the Hill. Nothing ever seemed hard to him and a grade of 100 percent on his exam paper was nothing unusual. Yet he hated to get up in the morning and, as a result, had a difficult time making eight o’clock classes. “Hap” leaves us with all our best wishes for success.

Knights of the Road (3); Junior Marshal; Interfraternity Coun¬ cil (4) ; Art Editor Aftermath. Gordon came lo the “Heart of the Commo - wealth ' ’ front Springfield Tech with a fine schol¬ astic record to his credit. Before he had been here long everyone realized that he was not only a student but quite a social hound as well, for he was most always seen at Tech’s social affairs with some fair member of the weaker sex. Another trait that has brought Gordon fame throughout his four years here, is his ability with a pen, and we have him to thank for most of the drawings in this volume.

Football (3), “W” (3); Rifle Team (3, 4); Vice- Pres. Y. M. C. A.

He surely lives up to his name, and has saved our lives many a time by arguing us out of quizzes even though he failed to succeed with the foxy “Jinny.” It takes a mighty resourceful man to find time for all the activities “Skonning” engages in, and still have his evenings free for special courses at the Hospital. Keep up the good work, “Archie,” par¬ ticularly on your steam heated “lizzie.” Page seventy-three 19Z6 CLYDE WARREN HUBBARD “ Hubby ’ 2AE TBIT 2E Mechanic; Born Feb. 11, 1903; Prep.

Clubroom” during a fly hour would be almost certain to find Clyde stretching, and proclaim¬ ing a wish that Spring would hurry along so that he could get “Susie” going. The point is, that Clyde, as part of his Cross-country train¬ ing, became interested in a young lady living out beyond Webster Square and, now that he has tired of running, he foresees the necessity of his flivver if he is to continue his trysts. However, we also have been allowed to bask in the sunshine of his personality and it is with profound regret that we think of losing his pleasant companionship.

E. E.; Rope Pull ( 1 , 2 ). Five years ago, at the time of the year when we have a prolific dispplay of verdure at the Institute, came a boy down from Portsmouth town. “ Veni, vidi, vici he was soon known as “Gene” to all and sundry. Of late “Gene” has shown considerable in¬ terest in English culture. Perhaps his fifteen months’ training course with the General Elec¬ tric Company at the end of his junior year has changed his tastes somewhat, but who can say? One soon learns the reason for his well known ability as a student on meeting him, by his ready answer and quick, shrewd judgment on any problem. We don’t need to wish you success for we know you will have it. Page seventy-four 1 926 S. ALLAN JACOBS “Al” “Jacobs ” 4 2K Electric; bom Nov. 4, 1903; Prep. Bartlett High School; Entered W. P.

Ever since “Al” entered with us in 1922 we have never failed to recognize in him the quali¬ ties of a born leader. His work as chairman of the Freshman Activities Committee, and in the “Masque” Association, have portrayed this, and signify a character of which he can well be proud. From the reports of his past summer in Fort Wayne, it is seen that not only do we appreciate him but so does a certain one of the fair sex. We shall always remember “Al” as a real classmate, and we know that his success in the world will be unlimited. STANLEY FORREST JOHNSON “Stan” “Yonson” 4 2K Skull Civil; Born Jan. 4, 1903; Prep.

E.; Advertising Manager Tech Show (3). “Stan” was originally of the Class of 1924, but he took to the tall timber of the Vermont hills after three years of Tech life. He has often told us of his many experiences while in the employ of the New England Power Co. His activities in Track, Tech News, and Tech Show have certainly kept him busy, but he handled them all with “wim, wigor, and wi- tality.” In spite of all this, “Stan” has found plenty of time to admire the fair sex. “Stan’s” many friends feel that his ability as a leader and organizer should carry him far on the road to success.

Tech News (2, 3, 4); Tech Show (3); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Camera Club (3); Soccer (2). Here is “Chan,” our expert on motorcycles and the art of love. How well we remember his demon red racer, and the “Indian” jersey. But, unfortunately, there followed the sad day of eating from mantlepieces; that ended the popularity of vehicles bearing less than four wheels. Who hasn’t envied “Lover’s” technique with the fair sex? Effective is a mild description. So much so, that, as the trips to a nearby town grew more and more frequent, we began to fear for the worst. “Chan” expects to stay around New England, and who can blame him for so wishing. Some day we will ask some bright youngster for his name, and the reply will be, “I am Chandler W. Jones, Jr., and my Daddy is President of the New England Power Co.” I.ESLEY R. JOHNSON “Les” “ Johnnie ” Mechanic; Born March 2, 1902; Prep. Worcester North High; Entered W. P. I. 1921; Address: 17 Randall St., Worcester, Mass. “Well, we can start the class anytime now, “Les” has arrived. Notice anything peculiar in the air? That aroma of Selboral? Why, yes, we are sure that “Les” is here now.” How¬ ever, we all have certainly enjoyed “Les’s” good company and ready wit during his sojourn with our class. One cannot help but notice his selective collection of collegiate garb, which includes his manv-hued sweaters, and oh, those Plus-Fours, and all topped off with a derby. With such an outfit, no one has ever disputed his title of “Sheik of Ma Day’s.” Of a winning personality, industrious, ambitious, and confident, “Les” is certain to make a valuable addition to the men of his profession.

I. E. E. “Kuijy” first came into the fold of 26 in our Sophomore year, when he transferred to Worcester from Northeastern. His ready ap¬ preciation of American humor, and his recep¬ tive attitude tow r ard American “kidding” since then have done much to place him well up in the esteem of his classmates. “Kurjy” has travelled considerably since the day of his birth, and as the ravages of the war were responsible for the greater part of his wanderings, we doubt if he ever appreciated them fully. He always possessed an abounding desire to know the “why” of any phe¬ nomena, and was also known as a great theorist,—both facts which have served to put him somewhat in the class of “Dutchy.” OSCAR HAROLD KALLANDER “ Hap ” AX A Electric; Born May 19, 1901; Prep.

Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); Basketball (3, 4); Knights of the Road. “Hap” entered with the Class of 1924, after spending a year at the University of New Hampshire. Since that time he has made slow but sure progress toward the possession of a sheepskin. His determined spirit and fight are not for¬ gotten easily by anyone who has watched him on the basketball floor. “Hap” spent a few r of his summers in New York, where he worked some, studied the major league baseball situation, and still saved enough to drive back in a flivver coop.

But why are our most popular men women haters? “Art’s” work in Track and on the News have brought him great renown on the Hill, and we know his ability as a leader will surely bring him to that peak of success we now so heartily wish for him. HAMILTON WILLIAM KING “Ham” “Bill” Electric; Born July 20, 1904; Prep. Westfield High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 79 Or¬ ange St., Westfield, Mass. Rope Pull (1, 2); Class Soccer (1); A. I. E. E.; Newman Club; Knights of the Road. “Ham” had his first peep into the world at Westfield. It was there he grew up, of necess¬ ity, as he was born quite small. It was there he had the mysteries and intrigues of life ex¬ posed to him under the maidenly care and ca¬ resses of beautiful normalities of Westfield Normal. Following his graduation from West- field schools he entered Tech. During “H. William’s” stay at Tech, his in¬ terest in teachers did not wane, for often he frequented “Ma Day’s,” where he frolicked with Worcester normalities. No longer do small towns weave a spell over our hero who, after graduation, will leave for New York with the best wishes of his many friends. 1 926 Page seventy-eight HOWARD GREENE LASSELLE “H.G.” Electric; Born May 17, 1904; Prep. Beverly High School and Westboro High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 51 Church St., Westboro, Mass. Think what a shock the good people of West¬ boro must have received when they heard that both the boys in the senior class of the high school were going to attend Worcester Tech. Think what a send-off that must have been when Lasselle and Pineo left their native heath for the first time in the search for knowledge. But they commuted. They arrived on the Hill each morning with the flush of the country on their cheeks and left each night, tired and drooping, encouraging each other for the long journey ahead. For four years Lasselle has spent 24 hours in class, 24 hours between here and Westboro, 5 hours studying in class (i. e. reading magazines in the “Y”), and the remaining hours trying to get to class on time. Lasselle’s idea of hell is perpetual commuting to a one-hour day eight o’clock class. Ask him. EDWIN BAILEY LOVEWELL TBn Electric; Born Jan. 17, 1904; Prep. Gardner High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 140 Wood¬ land Ave., Gardner, Mass. Manager Tennis (4); Tech News (1, 2, 3); Tech Show (2, 3); Vice-Pres. Masque (4); Glee Club (3, 4); Rope Pull (2). We never realized that we had in our midst, one whose dramatic ability so closely rivals that of Julian Eltinge. “Eddie” certainly made a name for himself in the part of “Sidney” in the 1925 production of the Masque. His interest, however, has not been confined to the stage, as he has been a hard and faithful worker in many other extra-curriculum activi¬ ties. His willingness to serve and help others when in trouble has won many a friend for him. He has a fine record of scholarship to look back upon, and has long shown his ability and clear-headedness. These, together with his broad and winning smile, will keep him happy and bring him great success. Page seventy-nine 1926 EDMUND JOHN McGARRELL “Ed” Electric; Born Jan. 4, 1903; Prep. Worcester South High School; Entered W. P. I. 1921; Address: 83 Commodore Rd., Worcester, Mass. Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4), “W” (1, 2, 3, 4), Capt. (4); Newman Club; A. I. E. E.; Capt. Class Baseball (2); Class Football (1); Class Track (1); Rope Pull (1). It is as a baseball player that “Eddie” is best known to us here on the Hill. Although far from a giant in stature the expanse of out¬ field that his sturdy little legs can cover is a revelation to those who have never seen him before. To those of us upon whom the Inspec¬ tion Trip to Vermont was inflicted, “Eddie’s” overabundance of pep and his love for play was forcibly demonstrated. We are confident that whatever line of work he may take up he will be successful, because he seems to have acquired the ability to see a thing through, no matter what difficul¬ ties may arise. CLARENCE WHITNEY McELROY AX A Electric; Born September 3, 1902; Prep. Chicopee High School; Entered W. P. 1. 1920; Address; 46 East St. Ave., Chicopee Falls, Mass. Soccer (2, 3, 4), “aWf” (2, 3, 4); Rope Pull (1); Class Track (1, 2). A half-decade ago the smoky atmosphere of Chicopee Falls parted and in the sudden glam¬ our of the moment sent “Black Mike” to our midst. To those of us around him, however, he is much more than a product of the cloudy ele¬ ments. From the beginning of things, “Mac” has proved himself to be anything but a bookworm. During his years at Tech he has been active in varsity and class contests, especially in his cho¬ sen field of soccer. As for social prowess, the answer to a “Maiden’s Prayer’ could never fail to be a success. Page eighty EUGENE JOSEPH McGILLICUDDY Mac Geae Electric; Born Jan. 25, 1905; Prep. Worcester Classical High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Ad¬ dress: 43 Vernon St., Worcester, Mass. Newman Club; A. I. E. E.; Junior Prom Com.; Rope Pull (1, 2). In the role of reporter on Tech affairs for the Telegram, “Mac” had an unusual opportunity to sell Tech to the public. In this respect he was best known. However, those who were members of the noon-hour sport session in the gym know that he was an ardent basketball fan and was ever ready to organize and manage a team. As far as we know, “Mac” has little interest in the fairer sex. It may be attributed to the fact that an incessant pursuit of the news kept his spare time occupied. We are confident that “Mac’s” future will be a success. His keen intellect is certainly a wonderful asset. WINTHROP SIMON MARSTON “Speed ’ “Win” AT O Electric; Born June 16, 1904; Prep. Phillips Ex¬ eter Academy; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: North Hampton, N. II. Tennis (3) ; Tech News (2, 3, 4), Sec. (4); Knights of the Road (3, 4). Four long years ago North Hampton, New Hampshire, hade farewell to “Speed” Marston, one of its most prominent citizens, as he set out for Worcester in quest of learning. As the selectman raised the flag and sifted the ashes, he boarded the stage coach and headed South. On arriving in Worcester he exhibited an early tendency of reaching class before the clos¬ ing bell, and was accordingly christened with his well known cognomen. “Speed’s” agreeable manner and his ever ready appreciation of humor have won him a host of friends and we cannot help but feel that their number will increase proportionately in the years to come. Page eighty-one 1926 JOHN STEPHEN MILLER “ Johnny ” Electric; Born April 20, 1904; Prep. Worcester Classical High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 192 May St., Worcester, Mass. Newman Club; Rope Pull (1, 2); Class Baseball ( 1 , 2 ). “Johnny” is one of the most energetic mem¬ bers of the class, possessing vim and life which helps one enormously to replace downheart¬ edness with cheer and happiness. The class as a whole was benefited by his two years of service on the baseball team, which successfully bettered our rivals. Above all instances, we should not forget his noteworthy attempt at endeavoring to sharpen “Shrimp” Knight’s hatchet during dull hours of surveying. As a Hydraulician, he has proved himself excep¬ tional as may be seen by his activities at “Chaffin’s” and in the classroom. Boynton Hall and the Gym will indeed seem haunted after “Johnny” has decided to earn success elsewhere. CARLTON FRANCIS MAYLOTT “ Carl ” 2AE Electric; Born March 12, 1903; Prep. Derby High School; Entered W. P. I. 1921; Address: 186 Derby Avenue, Derby, Conn. Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Mandolin Club (2, 3); Camera Club; Wireless Club. Carleton, who hails from Derby, Conn., might be classed with our many radio fans. He started his engineering career at Sheffield, but soon tired of Yale life. He entered Tech in 1921 and would have been graduated in 1925 ex¬ cept for the fact that he spent last year with the R. C. A. There he met with great success both at Long Island and at Belfast. Like many other engineers his interests were varied. He was a member of the musical clubs and at¬ tended most of the social functions on the Hill. With his broad knowledge of engineering and many outside interests he should reflect credit on Tech in fol¬ lowing his career. Page eighty-two 1926 I I I I I I xl.l I HENRY GALPIN MILDRUM “Hank” ATO TBTI Electric; Born June 10, 1904; Prep. Middletown High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: East Berlin, Conn. Track (2, 3); Relay (3, 4) ; Class Soccer (2, 4) ; Class Treas.

Tech might weH institute a course in Bill Collecting, for that is the way most of “Hank’s” time has been spent in the last four years. Not having enough experience in his five consecu¬ tive terms as class treasurer, he also undertook the office permanently. In addition to being a man of money, “Hank” is also known as one of the class benedicts. When most of us were planning our vacations at home he was conjuring some excuse to spend his in Worcester. Between his visits to Green Hill, “Hank” has found time to make a name for himself as a runner. CHARLES MANUS MORAN “ Charlie ” 2AE Skull Mechanic; Born Sept. 13, 1905; Prep. B. M. C.

M. E.; Newman Club; Athletic Asso¬ ciation Treasurer (3); Tech News (3); Junior Mar¬ shall (3). We all know “Charlie” for his constant geni¬ ality. “Charlie,” as his election to Skull shows, has been active during his four years on the Hill. His athletic prowess has been evident from his playing on the varsity football and baseball teams ever since his Freshman year. As a student “Charlie” ranks high in his class, but here his easy-going good nature in¬ terfered with his progress. “Eight o’clocks” are among the ignored things in his life, as most of the profs in the M. E. department will testify. Page eighty-three 1926 t JOHN ARTHUR MORSE “ Deac’ ©X TBII EE Electric; Born April 25, 1904; Prep. Colby Acad¬ emy; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: Norwich, Vermont.

E.; Permanent Class Secretary. “Morsie,” more commonly known by the pious name of “Deac,” (although it was not till his Senior year that he substantiated this title by his work on the new chapel services), has passed his Tech life with us as a steady, earnest fellow, both in scholastic pursuits and in various other activities on the campus. “Deac” seems to like writing letters to a “Certain Party” in a nearby township, and al¬ though acquaintances may mean much or may mean little, it is with the greatest of regard for the future that we hope he doesn’t fall too quickly. Best of luck, “Deac.” CARL HAROLD NORDSTROM “Newt” “Nordie ” ©X TBII EE General Science; Born May 2, 1904; Prep. Wor¬ cester North High; Entered W. P. I. 1921; Ad¬ dress: 323 Burncoat St., Worcester, Mass. Tech Show (2, 3, 4); Glee Club (3, 4). “Nordie” is one of our fair-haired Worcester hoys, and has made his mark not only as a student hut as an instructor in the Physics De¬ partment. Our fondest memory of “Newt” will be of him as an actor, for he has helped to make more than one Tech Show a success, much to our enjoyment. A truer knight of the road there never was, for only last summer he attained considerable publicity in the local papers as a result of his “ride and walk” journey to the other side of the continent, to see what the Pacific looked like. May his ability to keep plugging follow him in his years as an alumnus. Page eighty-four 192 .© I I I ll II II II II mHMiiiniiiiiiiiiiHiiimiiiiiiiiiiim i i.

(2b, 3a); Tech News (2, 3, 4), Athletic Editor (41 ; General Mgr. Tech Show (4); Junior Marshall; Ass ' t Adv. Mgr. Aftermath; Rope Pull (1); Class Track (1). “Lower away your anchor!” “Aye, Aye, Sir,” says Paul, who is first mate, deck swab, assistant fireman, and mail clerk on Lake Win- nipesaukee’s floating postoffice. Paul is the ideal type of mail clerk, for he is tall, handsome, curly-haired and makes a decided hit with the younger set of summer colonists. When September comes he transfers his attentions to Worcester and is very active in college affairs. His managerial ability is evident in many cases, par¬ ticularly with reference to last year’s football team. HERMAN NEUBAUER “Honey” AX A Skull Civil; Born Nov. 25, 1903; Prep. Clinton High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 2 Birch St., Clinton, Mass. Baseball (2, 3, 4), “W” (2, 3, 4); Soccer (3, 4), “aWf” (3, 4); Basketball (3, 4), “W” (4); Rope Pull (1); A. S. C. E.; Class Vice-President (4B). “Good things come in small packages.” This sure applies to “Our Honey.” In his four years at Tech, “Honey” has es¬ tablished for himself a record to be envied by anyone. We can never forget his speed on the basketball floor, his accuracy on the soccer field, his cleverness at baseball, his ability at books and his ever ready helping hand and cheerful smile. As years roll by we will undoubtedly see “Our Honey” rise to great heights in the esteem of his fellowmen of the outer world. He is a versatile athlete, a good scholar and a friend to count upon. Page eighty-five 1926 « t ' ■i i ii i i i STANLEY ROOT OSBORNE “ Ozzy ” “Joe” AT O Electric; Born August 20, 1902; Prep Holyoke High School; Entered W. P.

(4). We understand that “Ozzy” grew up on the idea of entering the Ministry, but now that we have seen him as an Engineer we feel that his first love was misdirected. His years on Boyn¬ ton Hill have been characterized with incessant activity, though in spite of this demand on his time, he was never known to neglect his social education. “The life of the party,” he was forced to refrain from making the same drag twice during his Senior year in order to prevent his feminine ac¬ quaintances from feeling neglected. LINWOOD EARL PAGE “ Pickles ” “Diz” Chemist; Born Dec. 17, 1904; Prep. Keene High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: Marl¬ boro, N. H. Skeptical Chymists; Rope Pull (1, 2). From the metropolis of Marlboro, “Pagie” entered Tech in our freshman year, a red-headed country youth. It was not long, however, be¬ fore we found that he was spending his nights with the Saturday Evening Post, writing letters to the girls he left behind, and the movies. “Red’s” brain never made it necessary for him to overexert himself studying, but he did come near succumbing to the rigors of “Punk’s” P. Lab. course. Because of his calmness under fire, and his remarkable ability, we predict that he will soon put Marlboro on the map. Lin- wood Earl will always remain a bright spot in our memory, a happy, carefree, hut brilliant classmate. 1926 Page eighty-six ARMANI) LIONEL PAQUETTE “Parky” Electric; Born June 15, 1906; Prep. Leominster High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 210 Central St., Leominster, Mass. Class Soccer (1, 2). “Parky” is probably one of the most exten¬ sively travelled members of the class. His dailv journev between Leominster and Lincoln Square, and his not infrequent patronage of the theatre has furnished him with a vast fund of stories. He first sprang into prominence in Freshman French, where he was noted for his fluent sight translations. Later, bad luck overtook him when he met up with “Shrimp” Knight in Sur¬ veying, and since that time he has been present at several make-up examinations. Class Soccer was the extent of “Parky’s” athletics, but ever since his entrance to the Institute he has been an ardent sup¬ porter of the poolroom. Many a string has been played by “me ’n Smiddy.” ARTHUR CARLETON PARSONS “Art” Mechanic; Born Sept. 25, 1902; Prep. Portsmouth High School; Entered W. P. I. 1921; Address: Rye, N. H. Junior Prom Committee; A. S. M. E. Desiring to follow in the footsteps of his two brothers, “Art” came to Worcester Tech five years ago. The year 1922, however, found him working for a living, but he returned in the fall of ’23 to again take up the battle. He has established a record for asking ques¬ tions in class and is given the championship of the Mechanics. Although a very hard worker, he always found time to take in some of the social affairs at Tech, especially when a certain party arrived from college for vacations. “Art” has always been a conscientious worker in Lab. courses, having no desire to “frig” the results. For this reason we pre¬ dict he will make a good research man. Page eighty-seven 1 926 I I I ERNEST TAYLOR PARSONS “Ernie” £2K Skull Electric; Born Jan. 28, 1905; Prep. Williston Ac¬ ademy; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: McKin¬ ley Ave., Easthampton, Mass. Basketball (2, 3), “W” (2); Soccer (2, 3), “aWf” (2, 3); Class Baseball (1, 2); Rope Pull (1, 2); Class Pres. (3b), Vice-Pres. (2b); Junior Prom Com.; Tech Council (3b, 4a). “Ernie’s” natural ability as an athlete is known by all who have seen him in action on the soccer field and on the basketball court, hut few realize with what amount of persever¬ ance he struggles with various musical instru¬ ments in order to attain a far lower degree of success. He has been one of the leaders of the class ever since his Freshman days, holding numer¬ ous class offices and being one of our leading athletes. His pleasing personality has won for him the admiration of his classmates, who wish him the success they feel he deserves. HARRY CHARLES PEINERT “ Charley ” TBII 2E Chemist; Born June 19, 1905; Prep. Clinton High School; Entered W. P. 1. 1922; Address: 129 Has¬ kell Ave., Clinton, Mass. Aftermath Board; Skeptical Chymists. Ever since Harry learned how to successfully break a test tube, or to somehow obtain a break¬ age hill rebate (which is real success), he has made success his byword. His more recent and better known attainments include the ex¬ traction of ozone from pure, undiluted air; the relentless pursuit of very helpless bacteria; the taming of misguided Freshmen; and last hut not least, the mastery of the mysteries of the movies. And then, too, don’t forget that Harry is one of those diverse, worthy followers of Boyle, who call themselves Sceptical Chymists. For one with these accomplish¬ ments we can predict continued success in the future, and we therefore con¬ gratulate Harry in advance.

Pierce, the man of cars, and yet, of all his cars, he likes his one the best. There are a good many times when George has not been stalled or stuck in the road, and yet there are also a number of times when he has been. With his Valentino smoothness and his amiable manner, to say nothing of his car, George has made a host of friends, among whom are many of the opposite sex. He became a popular mem¬ ber of the Knights of the Road after he had carried many other loyal Tech supporters to games, and was one of the first five “John Boynton Shriners.” LAWRENCE SAMUEL PETERSON “Pete” Electric; Born Oct. 2, 1904; Prep. Worcester Clas¬ sical High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 37 Brighton Rd., Worcester, Mass. Rope Pull (1, 2); Glee Club (3); A. I. E. E. “Pete’s” celebrity rests in no small measure on his stature, both physical and intellectual. Were it a baskebtall game where “Pete’s” ex¬ pansive reach covered land and air, or a class¬ room exercise, nothing passed him by from a leather sphere to a problem solution. At the throttle of his “Stewed-Baker,” “Pete” used to delight in rounding right angle bends as such a speed that at times it seemed as though the head of the machine would take its tail in its mouth. Naturally “Pete” marshalled every Senior Electric trip. Often when the dust settled we would find his steed in front of a house in one of our aggressive sister cities, where he was wont to dismount and hang up his spurs. His self-confidence in other things besides accelerator teasing inspired us weaker ones, and bodes him success. Page eighty-nine 1 926 JAMES ALGIE ROBERTSON “ Alg ” ®X Electric; Born May 19, 1905; Prep. Framingham High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 35 Lincoln St., Framingham, Mass. Rifle Team (1); Junior Prom Com.; Knights of the Road; Wireless Club; Cosmopolitan Club; Orchestra (1); Band (1); A. I. E. E. This youth has slept through and passed all the courses of the E. E. Department for four years, and hence is entitled to the diploma which he will receive in June if he gets up in time to attend the exercises. Passing all his courses is not “Algie’s” only record—the rec¬ ord of eleven different girls to twelve consecu¬ tive dances is one that should stand for a long time. After pressing out the sheepskin, “Algie” intends to obtain employment with the G. E. Company, contrary to H. B’s. desires, where he will surely be a success if it doesn’t take too much manual labor. CHARLES STANLEY PINEO “ Charlie ” “Chick” ©X Civil; Born July 28, 1904; Prep. Westboro Fligh School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 58 West Main St., Westboro, Mass. Rope Pull (1); A. S. C. E. “Charlie” comes from a small town, but that doesn’t mean a thing, for he does his stuff in no small town way. He is a Civil, but of such capacity that he oversteps his bounds into the mechanical line. Yes, it has four wheels and a sure-enough engine. “Chick’s” excuse for keeping the thing, so he says, is to run back and forth from home, but we know better. The ark can lead itself to Providence, so many times has it been there; for that’s the place where “Charlie” goes for consolation. She is ever true to him. But seriously speaking, “Charlie” is one of Tech’s most con¬ scientious workers, and we all wish him success in his chosen field. Page ninety ' I NATHAN ALBERT ROSENBERG “Rosie” “Nate” d BA Electric; Born Oct. 28, 1900; Prep. Worcester Classical High School; Entered W. P. I. 1921; Ad¬ dress: 42 Winter St., Worcester, Mass. “Rosie,” like a good many other embryo engineers, embarked upon his engineering ca¬ reers with the Class of ’25 and then, displaying remarkable judgment, transferred his affilia¬ tions to ’26. He is best best known as the senior member of the firm of Rosenberg and Rosen¬ berg, though for the life of us we could not keep straight in our minds whether he was “J. J.” or “N. A.” The partnership displayed a tendency toward research work in its senior year, and conducted an extensive series of tests on the results con¬ sequent to overheating wattmeters. However, like other experimenters, their results went up in smoke and will never be known to the world, though they created more or less of a furore at the time. FRANK RICHASON ROEDER “Hank” Civil; Born Nov. 20, 1902; Prep. Turners Falls High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 31 Ferrv Rd., Turners Falls, Mass A. S. C. E. Here he is, the ever cheerful “Hank,” the fellow with a smile and a happy word for e ach and every obstacle that besets his path., What would we do without him and the cheering ef¬ fect he has on us in our daily contact with him? We suspect that we are not the only ones who appreciate his equanimity, for how else can we explain his trips to Framingham, that take place week in and week out with such commendable regularity; and the ring em¬ bellished with the seal of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, that he so proudly displays on his little finger?

Class Basketball (1, 2); Rope Pull (2); Newman Club; A. I. E. E. If practice means anything, “Tommy” should be a second Tom Berry, as he may be seen during his spare moments during the day— and for all we know during the night—“whoop¬ ing it up” on the basketball court. We are glad that “Tommy” isn’t learning the “Sax” with such persistence. “Tommy” is also an authority (or expert) — ask “Coombsie” which is correct—in E. E. Lab. H is beautiful—or shall we say “colorful” —method of synchronizing should some day get him a job as a lamp salesman. The last time we saw him synchronizing (?), he was apparently running an instantaneous life test on the lamps. But pioneers are always misunderstood, and we feel certain that “Tommy’s” persistence will give him the success we wish him. WILLIAM ALBERT RUSSELL, Jr. “Russ” “Bill” AXA TBn Electric; Born Nov. 20, 1905; Prep. Townsend High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: Townsend, Mass. Class Soccer (4). “Bill” spent most of his first two years mak¬ ing sure that Tau Beta Pi would not pass him up. But once he had that honor bestowed upon him he took things quite a bit easier and found out that there were things more worth living for. In fact, there were rumors at sev¬ eral different times that he had dealings with the opposite sex; but, as far as we can find out, this has proved to be incorrect, inasmuch as he claims that it is only his sister who calls him on the phone. Nevertheless, still waters, though slow, run deep; and when “Bill” decides to settle down, we expect he will do some careful picking.

Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Orches¬ tra (1, 2, 3, 4); Tech News (2, 3); A. S. M. E. Bristol is unquestionably known as the home of one of our best Coaster-Brakes, and “Sax” must have acquired the New Departure system of control at an early age, if his consistency of action is any indication. The Boynton Hall clock occasionally served as a standard of time but after four years of association with both we prone to believe that “Sax” is the more reliable. We have always been told that feminine associations and studies do not mix, but “Sax” seems to disprove the theory if we consider the fact that a good portion of his time during his Senior year was spent in studying “abroad.” EARL RAYMOND SM1DDY “Smiddy” ©X Electric; Born Sept. 16, 1902; Prep. Peters High School, Southboro, Mass.; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address; Fayville, Mass. Class Soccer (1, 2). The first time we saw “Smiddy” we were im¬ pressed by his “happy-go-lucky” smile which, contrary to all expectations, has survived the onslaught of four years at Tech. Even when telling of the various auto wrecks in which his Overland participated he always made a joke of the whole matter. During his Freshman year he was a promising soccer player, but since then injuries have invariably prevented his further participation in this sport. Of late he has limited his collegiate activity to follow¬ ing the teams and offering the use of his car for those who wanted to help support Tech in a similar manner. With his happy smile, success must surely be his lot in life. Page ninety-three 1926 CHARLES THOMAS SMITH “C.T” “ Charlie ” J 2K Electric; Born Feb. 1, 1904; Prep. Plymouth High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: River St., Plymouth, Mass. Rope Pull (1); Publicity Manager Tech Show (3). “C. T.” is one of those fortunate individuals who, although seldom found studying, always come forth with enviable marks. “Oh, that’s easy,” is one of “Charlie’s” favorite passwords, and whether he says it as a bluff, or as a matter of fact, the results are always in his favor. “Charlie’s” chief diversions are Bridge and Tennis, and in June’s warmest weather he can be seen chasing around the tennis courts while the rest of us are trying to keep cool. A pleasant personality, ability to co-operate, and a friend worth having, are the impressions “Charlie” leaves behind him; may these traits speak well for his future success. V f W DONALD FRANKLIN SEARS ‘Don’ AXA Civil; Born Feb. 26, 1904; Prep. Framingham High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 6 Vernon St., Framingham Center, Mass. Rifle Club (1, 3, 4), Mgr. (4); A. S. C. E. ‘Twas four long years ago that, from the strange land of Framingham, came “Don” Sears in search of scientific knowledge in Civil Engineering. “Don,” to those of us who worked with him, was a practical engineer. However, on Satur¬ day he dashed down to Salem Square, took a Framingham trolley in order to devote all day Sunday, of course not with his books, but with the “One who will take most of his future life.” And as manager of the Rifle Team, “Don” will not be forgotten in Tech activities. Here is good luck to you, “Don,” and in appreciation of your warmth of friendship and fine character, 1926 does its utmost in wishing you success and prosperity.

Rope Pull (1, 2); A. S. C. E. Harry comes to us from the city of Leominster, a few miles from this huge metropolis. A rather quiet, hard-working fellow, he has also been a good mixer, and has made a host of friends on the Hill. Harry must have left a few interests behind when he came to Tech for we understand that, in the past year, he has been making weekly trips to the home town, and sometimes the visits came more often. The cause for these fre¬ quent migrations home is now apparent, for we have learned that he has recently entered upon the field of matrimony. With his stick-to-it spirit, we trust Harry will succeed in whatever he under¬ takes. MABBOTT BENJAMIN STEELE “Mab” ATH Skull TBn SE Electric; Born March 30, 1904; Prep. Worcester North High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Ad¬ dress: 19 Vassar St., Worcester, Mass. Class Pres. (2a, 4a), Vice-Pres.

Tech Council (4); Athletic Coun¬ cil (4); Y. M. C. A. Cabinet (4); A. I. E. E.; Per¬ manent Class Vice-President. “Mab” represents a desirable combination of the active man and the student, and has few superiors in either field. His popularity is another asset and he bears the distinction of having carried two elections for the class presi¬ dency without opposition. He is perhaps best known for his musical ability, since his solo work in the musical association brought him into prominence early in his Freshman year. As a senior he found life rather busy, though his many duties never prevented him from successfully carrying out each one.

(3); Masque (3, 4); Rope Pull (1). “Johnny” bade adieu to fair Foxboro and dodged the lusty paddles of ’24 in September, 1921. From the outset he showed no fear of either faculty or loTy upper-cl ssmen, but sauntered along in his own quiet way, disclosing an un¬ canny ability to turn out good work on a quan¬ tity basis. The speed with which John could negotiate stiff assignments made many a class¬ mate sigh with regrets as he observed “J. A.” making off for an evening of vaudeville, dance, or cards. After his junior year, John withdrew to New York City, presumably for valu¬ able engineering experience but, appreciating the honor consequent to graduating with ’26, he took advantage of it. WILLIAM EDWARD TAYLOR “ Bill ’ Mechanic; Born Jan. 27, 1904; Prep. Westfield High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922. Vice-Pres. A. S. M. E. (4). “Bill” has come and stayed with us as one of those quiet, unassuming fellows who soon acquires a host of friends. There is a certain picture t hat gazes down on him as he studies and we hope it is the in¬ centive for further study and not fond dreams. We feel certain this is true as he tells us his thoughts through idle chords on the piano. In the future we can see him as a great auto¬ motive engineer, for we have found by past experience that he is an authority on the wheel¬ base or balance of any machine. We expect to see “Bill” at the wheel of his own Taylor-Straight (?) equipped with Taylor accessories at an early date. l oae Page ninety-six I.

For four years “Dry” has been coming up from the lake each morning to follow the paths of higher learning at the Institute. While here he has filled the years with service to his Alma Mater. He has been a consistent performer on the Track Team, having been captain h’.s Junior year. It was also during this year that he served as Class President. Besides these labors he has also done a great amount of work on the Tech Council and the Aftermath Board. His popularity and idealism will undoubtedly lead him to great achievements in future years. CHARLES JOSEPH THOMPSON “Tommy” “Charlie” tbii Electric; Born November 9, 1904; Prep. Worces¬ ter Classical High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 32 Ames St., Worcester, Mass. Newman Club, Director (3), Pres. (4); Rope Pull (1, 2); A. I. E. E. “Clap hands, here comes Charlie.” It seems as though this young man had been the sub¬ ject of that popular song. “Charlie” is, of course, a great favorite with his classmates, hut his popularity reaches its highest crest with the feminine sex. Ever since he was voted the handsomest fellow in our class he has been the cynosure of many eyes. Although “Charlie” has been conscientious about his studies, as his election to Tau Beta Pi indicates, he has found time for many other things. During his term as presi¬ dent of the Newman Club, the organization made the greatest progress in its history. He is very fond of dancing, and engages actively in basketball to keep in trim for his Saturday night proms. All those who are intimate with him value his friendship highly, and we are confident that he is destined to attain marked success.

If he fails to develop into a successful bill collector, then we feel that his early train¬ ing has been wasted. “Webbie’s” four years on Boynton Hill have been crowded with activity after activity, and his efforts were crowned in his Senior year when he succeeded in putting the Tech Show on the road for the first time, and also in straightening out the finances of that organization. WALLACE HAMMOND TUCKER “Fat” “Tuck” Electric; Born May 19, 1904; Prep. Oxford High School; Entered W. P. I. 1921; Address: Main Street, Oxford, Mass. A. I. E. E.; Rope Pull (1, 2). Wallace left the wilds of Oxford while the majority of us were still high school seniors and came to Tech to become an Engineer. He served as ' ballast on the Freshman rope pull team and then proceeded to show that he could master the problems of an Engineer. At the end of his Junior year he took the experience course, believing that “experience is the best teacher.” His return brought many pictures as well as tales of the life and the work in “smoky” Pittsburg. “Tuck’s” ability to make friends, as well as his faculty of thinking out engineering problems will, we feel sure, help him to push ahead, for once started, his momentum will carry him a great distance.

Newman Club; Rope Pull (1, 2); Class Baseball ( 1 , 2 ). “Frannie” is the personification of life, lib¬ erty, and the pursuit of happiness. His cheer¬ ful smile and amiable companionship have made him a host of friends on the Hill. Con¬ centration on his studies kept under cover “Frannie’s” athletic ability, but he upheld the name of his class by playing class baseball two years. As a member of the “Log Rollers” he helped to make known the name of Worcester Tech to the citizens of the quiet towns of Southern Vermont during the early hours of certain June mornings. While the world will gain another Electrical Engineer, a familiar face will be missing at the “Riding School of Boynton Hall,” and in the scrimmages of “Carpenter’s Pets.” LLEWELLIN WILSON WADE 66 T 9?

E. “Lew” entered with the Class of ’25, but when he heard of THE CLASS that was coming, he decided to wait for us. After a year of seclusion in the wilds of the Cape, he joined up with us as a Sophomore and though his re¬ turn was quiet we knew he was with us. We looked wise when he argued with “Doc” Mor- ley on rectilinear asymtotes, wondered at his belief in the radius of gyration, but gave up when he took the final in physics “just to raise the mark.” This attention to marks has kept “Lew” out of athletics, but he has managed to attend all the home games and expects to keep in trim next year cheering for the Westinghouse Co.

Being a Civil, “Hap” spends most of his time in Boynton Hall, but for four years he has ap¬ peared regularly on the football field during the fall months. Because of this faithfulness he has won his letter three years as an end. His only other failing is his love for mongrel dogs, accumulated here or at Chaffin’s. “Hap” has no fancy for the weaker sex and only sel¬ dom does he fall for the use of tobacco, although he seems to enjoy a good (?) cigar immensely.

But he turned down the life of a fire-eater for that of a greasy me¬ chanic. It is said by those of suspicious nature that he did this believing that grease was more beneficial to the throat than was smoke. For you know that “Wiggie” is a prominent mem¬ ber of the Glee Club, which he so successfully managed this year. The stage was not the only place where “Wig- gie’s” voice won him recognition, however, for he could always be heard way above the rest of the rooters at any Tech game. We know that “Wiggie” will make good, and we wish him the best of luck.

After having spent a quiet and restful year at Springfield College, he decided to test his talents by coming to Worcester Tech. In spite of the necessities that were constantly insisted upon at Tech, “Al found a little time to play baseball, holding down the dizzy cor¬ ner in a commendable manner since his debut in the Spring of ’23. Among other things, “AT’ had a true aptness for making friends, and we feel sure that he will wrest from the world the success that should be his. HERBERT RUDOLPH WITTIG “Hoop” 2AE Chemist; Born Oct. 13, 1902; Prep. Adams High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 41 East Jordan St., Adams, Mass. Football (3, 41; Class Basketball (1); Class Track (1, 2); Rope Pull (1, 2); Skeptical Chymists; Newman Club. When “Hoop dusted into Worcester from Adams, his first impression of Tech was so good that he decided right then to stick around for four—or five years. Although he is a Chem¬ ist, his favorite sport is E.E. In fact, he knows all about the elusive little power factors. Among “Hoop’s” outstanding points are his likeness to Wallace Beery, his ability to entice letters from “that certain party,” his ability to write letters—he hasn’t missed a day in four years—and his won¬ derfully contagious smile. “Hoop’s” winning personality and his engaging smile make his success inevitable. 1 926 Page one hundred one ROBERT OLIVER WRIGHT “Bob” d 2 K Mechanic; Born April 2, 1904; Prep. Natick High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 59 Speen Street, Natick, Mass. Tech News (2); Glee Club (3); A. S. M. E.; Rope Pull (1, 2). Some would call him “a dirty mechanic,” but “Bobby” has a winning smile which always flashes through for everyone. To most of us it seems that his career at Tech has been one peal of laughter. That is not the whole story, however, for behind it all is a sincere wish to be a good pal and the unselfish offer of a helping hand. We admire his ability to make friends. “Bob” is a hard and conscientious worker, and his knack of sticking with a job until it is done to his satisfaction, coupled with his ability to make friends, point well to a successful future in the field of true engineering work. ELI YUTAN “Elkie” “Rosy” Civil; Born Nov. 26, 1904; Prep. Worcester Clas¬ sical High School; Entered W. P. I. 1922; Address: 97 Harrison Street, Worcester, Mass. A. S. C. E.; Judean Club. If you ever want to get an opinion on any¬ thing, go to “Elkie.” He will tell you what is what in fraternity policies, give you the proper odds on any game, or give you the cor¬ rect World’s Series dope, and as for wise cracks, he is as good as there is. However, his one big hobby is basketball, es¬ pecially with reference to the Civil Department teams. If “Elkie” were to build a home of his own, there surely would be a private basketball court, as he would rather play that than eat. Still, it should agree with him, since he is al¬ ways complaining of excess weight which will not come off. With his good humor and wonderful appreciation of a joke, there is no ques¬ tion but that “Elkie” will be a success in life.

On arriving from Springfield years ago, he im¬ mediately set out to carve a name for himself in the annals of Tech. He has accomplished this task full well as the boys from Alfalfa will testify. He seems to have an understanding of everything, and though not yet an authority, his ability to solve problems for underclassmen is unlimited. He has also displayed an ability to mix his college life with the right degree of pleasure. The loss of such a good pal as “Zack” is one of the hardships of graduation. With his earnestness and agressiveness we will certainly hear big things of him in the future.

But knowing “Pot” Sr.’s track record, that is to be expected. We prophesy that in a few year—when we have become the successful engineers that we think we are now—-“Pot” Jr. will be breaking his famous Dad’s track record. Knowing “Pot” Sr. as we do, and admitting (modestly) the tre¬ mendous advantage of being sponsored by such an (in) famous and illustrious class as 1926, we predict a remarkable success for “Junior.” Ed. Note: Just before going to press, the editors have learned that “Junior” has already broken a record. Not only did he break the record but, as “Pot” modestly points out, he showed his early ability and that he was no piker by picking out a two-dollar Red Seal!

Mildrum Secretary Treasurer ± 926 Page one hundred six I HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF ’26 Numbering one hundred and seventy, we made our debut into the annals of Worcester Tech on the 28th day of September in the year of 1922, imbued, like all Freshmen, with the fine determination to set the world on fire. However, our aspirations were dealt a severe blow when we were tendered the ancient and honorable paddle-rush reception. Yet our subjection coidd not he considered inglorious, for we succumbed only after a heroic struggle. Organization as a class soon followed and we chose as our first officers the following: Howard B. Smith, president; “Mab” Steele, vice-president; “Sam” Hall, secretary; and “Charlie” Healy, treasurer. From this time on, we pro¬ gressed steadily, and even though we failed to win the judges’ verdict in the Rope-Pull, we at least earned a moral victory, for our team had gained twenty feet of rope when the contest was declared a draw. The struggle was the most bitter in the history of the event, and lasted for two hours and fifteen minutes. In baseball and basketball there was no question of our superiority, but in track and soccer we took the count. Football also went to the opposition, but the decision of the referee on a certain play is still a matter of dispute. At the start of the second semester, we re-elected all of our officers, a proof of the fact that our first impressions were correct. Our attention then turned to class banquets, and with the memories of our registration day reception still rankling in our hearts, we marched seventy-five strong, on the White Mansion Inn in Leicester, where the unsuspecting Sophs were dining. Reaching the scene of the festivities, we delegated an advance party to cut the light and telephone wires and then opened our attack. Windows, doors and furnishings suffered considerably, but fortunately no serious personal injuries resulted. The Sophs, appreciating their pre carious position, refused to venture forth, and accordingly we wreaked our vengeance on the town in general. The next morning we awakened to find ourselves quite in the public eye. with bills of more than three hundred dollars hanging over our heads. However, we still contend that it was well worth the price. At the time of our own banquet the Sophs made away with our president, and while we requisitioned cars and cut classes recklessly, our efforts were fruitless. Still the banquet itself was an astounding success and was enlivened by the kid¬ naping of the Sophomore president and several other fracases. At the close of the year we instituted the first of our innovations, in the Tech parade, and while we received no support from the upper classes, we made an excellent success of it. Page one hundred seven 1 926 t r Page one hundred eight 1 926 1926 As Freshmen � I In our Sophomore year we decided to change the usual method of greeting the. Frosh, and after prescribing a set of rules governing their conduct on the Hill, we proceeded to march them to the Courthouse, where they provided amusement for the city in general. Our officers for the first term were “Mab” Steele, president; “Ernie” Parsons, vice-president; “Sam” Hall, secretary; and “Art” LeClerc, treasurer. The inter¬ class series opened with our third innovation, the Flag Rush, which we Avon. The Rope-Pull went to the Frosh after a fifty-five minute struggle, and a drop kick in the closing minutes of play gave them a victory in football. In track, baseball, basketball and soccer, however, we overwhelmed them. In the second semester, we elected as officers: “Art” LeClerc, president; “Hap” Wendin, vice- president; Paul Otis, secretary; and “Hank” Mil drum, treasurer. At the close of the year Ave staged a successful banquet in Paxton Avithout interference, and would have captured the Frosh leader had it not been for the combined intervention of the Faculty and the police. In our Junior year there were but two changes made in our officers: “Dry” Thomson was elected president, and “Jerry” Bittner, vice-president. Two major social events, the Junior Prom and the Half-Way-Through Banquet occupied our attention during the year. The Prom was the usual success and, contrary to general procedure, was self-supporting. The banquet also won the approval of the class, for, in addition to the usual attractions, a score of our former class¬ mates Avere in attendance. Second term elections left the following men in office: “Ernie” Parsons, president; “Don” Calder, vice-president; Frank Cosgrove, secre¬ tary; and “Hank” Mildrum, treasurer. When we finally reached the Senior year, we found our number cut to one hundred, but we recovered from the caualties long enough to elect our neAV officers, who were “Mab” Steele, president; “Hap” Wendin, vice-president; “Bruce” Brewster, secretary; and “Hank” Mildrum, treasurer. During the sec¬ ond term but two changes were made, and “Honey” Neubauer was elected vice- president, while Frank Cosgrove was chosen secretary.

Brighton, ’29 The Tech Council exists as a link between the undergraduate body and the faculty; and as such, it exercises a tremendous force in the formulation of student policies. Irreponsible guidance in recent years had seriously crippled its influence until the advent of the new administration when this body caught the proper spirit, and under capable guidance, assumed its rightful place in the student world. Prime among its recent accomplishments are the standardization of the Fresh¬ man cap, the establishment of complete jurisdiction over Freshman rules, re¬ vival of the time-honored custom of holding an All-Tech banquet, favorable action on the Goat’s Head Tradition, endorsement of an article favoring the in¬ clusion of the Y. M. C. A. in the distribution of blanket tax funds, a thorough study of the point system, and arrangement of the program at all student as¬ semblies. Past one hundred thirty-six 1926 The past year has seen many changes in the policy of our college weekly, which have already brought about a tremendous improvement in the make-up of the paper. The creation of the Sophomore “Reporters” gives added stimulus for Freshmen who have any writing ability. Then the frequent get-togethers to dis¬ cuss errors and possible improvements in the paper give the members of the As¬ sociation a more coherent idea of what a good i ssue is. A complete revision of the constitution has also been made to conform with the changes in the make-up of the Association. This change leaves on the rolls only former officers, present officers, Junior Editors, and Reporters. It leaves out all upper classmen who were not elected to offices. This produces a membership made up entirely of men who are workers and who are interested in the welfare of the Tech News. The members of the Tech News Staff all receive charms in recognition for their services. This provides stimulus for Reporters to keep working in order to be¬ come Junior Editors, when they will receive their charms. These are the most sturdy and good looking pendants obtainable, and the name and offic e is printed on the back of each. Furthermore it is the custom for the Tech News Staff to get together for a banquet or some similar sort of celebration before handing over their tasks to the new staff. The results of the meetings of the association to discuss errors and improve¬ ments have shown up in the paper in various ways. One of the chief features along this line is the change in headlining. Formerly they were made up hastily with no great care, and unbalanced headings resulted. Now great care is taken to balance all headlines and to make them standard. For another thing, dead news that everyone knows about is being cut out of the front page, such as write¬ ups of basketball games and the like. In its place are being introduced real live items that are news to everyone. Credit for the many improvements is due in no small measure to the hearty co-operation of Professor C. .1. Adams. It is the hope of all concerned that the progress made in the past year will be continued in the years to come, as there is no greater agency in the development of a college than a properly guided weekly paper.

Nevertheless, its importance in preserving college-day memories and the spirit of 26 should not he underestimated. Though an Aftermath is edited by a board of limited numbers, it cannot be a success unless supported both in spirit and action by the class. In this connection the members of the Board take this opportunity of stating their appreciation to the other members of the class for their interest, enthusiasm and co-operation. It will not be amiss, perhaps, to point out the methods by which the present board has endeavored to improve the 1926 edition of the Aftermath. In keeping with our engineering education of conciseness, and to make the book more interesting, it was felt that much material in previous Aftermaths could be condensed or perhaps even omitted. This is especially important since classes at Tech are small and previous Aftermaths have been prohibitive in cost due to the small edition and the inefficient use of the space. To promote sales and to make the book of more interest to the lower class- men, the activities of each lower classman have been incorporated. This also avoids the previous dry, catalog-type of listing. It has been the feeling of the board that cuts, both of the campus and of inter¬ esting events “tell the story” better than many words and every attempt has been made to include as many as possible. In this connection, the individual, so-called characteristic, pictures have been omitted from each Senior write-up since for many years they have been one of the main causes of late books and have had little, even suggestive of characteristic. In general, it has been the aim of the board to reduce the cost of the After- math to the class as much as possible without sacrificing its value and purpose. It is the hope of the board that this Aftermath may act as a bond of memories to preserve the wonderful spirit of the members of the Class of ’26 both among themselves and toward Tech throughout the coming years.

Howes, 26, Manager oj Band For a good many years there has been a Musical Association at the Institute, but never has it shown as successful a season as the past. The class of work produced by every department of the Association is now on a par with that of many of the larger college clubs. Not as many concerts were presented as in the last two or three years, but the grade of work was so much higher that the financial return from these has been slightly better than in the past. A number of long trips were undertaken with great success. A fine broadcast was given from the Worcester station early in the season from which many complimentary letters were received. The Glee Club, ably managed by “Em” Wiggin, is the most outstanding suc¬ cess of the year. The fine direction of William L. Mitchell proved to be especially effective in connection with the large number of men out for the club this year. Much difficult work was presented with brilliance, because of the strong first tenor and low bass sections which are so necessary to such work. With the foundation that the Glee Club now rests upon, we expect to hear great reports from them next year.

Page one hundred forty-two 1 926 « iii, � MANDOLIN CLUB “Tommy” Steward has, as usual, put lots of pep into the lighter numbers characteristic of the work of the Mandolin Club. “Bruce” Brewster handled the affairs of this department in great shape, keeping a good representation on the roll. Many an extra encore was necessary after the numbers exhibited by the string twangers. With a precedent such as this, we need have no fear for the future of the Mandolin Club. Solo work by “Mab” Steele, ’26, as a vocalist, Francis Wiesman, ’29, on the piano, and Uno Matson, ’29, with his ’cello, was always well received, while “Pete” Wood’s readings never failed to bring down the house. Page one hundred forty-three 1916 ORCHESTRA The Orchestra, under “Red” Burns’ leadership, filled in the programs in fine style. For the dancing following the concerts., it was always conceded to be a “knockout.” It has gone away on several long trips by itself and general re¬ ports received from places where it played indicate great success. The Band has done rather mediocre work, with flashes of good work at times. The big handicap preventing a better band seems to be the inability to depend on more than three or four men turning out at the games. The A. A. is taking over the Band this coming year and we hope that the results will be better under this supervision than they have been during the Musical Association’s direction.

Crosier, ’27, Business John F. Wood, 27, Stage Frederick C. Pomeroy, ' 27, Publicity Carl T. Ohrn, ’27, Advertising John Heald, Coach TECH SHOW The Worcester Theatre, scene of professional endeavors in legitimate stage productions, held, on the memorable nights of April 15th and 17th, capacity audiences enjoying amateur presentation of the three-act comedy, “The Four- Flusher,” by the “Masque.” We say amateur, for technically that was the case, but those who saw this comedy of Caesar Dunn’s were so impressed with the skill and finesse of the cast that many remarks were made to the effect that many a professional company could take lessons from the work of the performers. This, the fourteenth annual production of the “Masque,” was without any question the finest amateur production ever staged in Worcester, and the coach, Mr. John Heald, is to be congratulated for his efforts in making this year’s show what it was. The leading role in this somewhat farcical comedy was ably taken by C. H. Nordstrom as the rather egotistical, hut bone-pulling shoe clerk with big ideas. “Nordy” took every advantage of his part and made the character one to be remembered. The fair damsel, whom he ignored through the plot but finally realized as the object of his affection, was none other than Walton Lewis. “Walt,” as a girl, was equally as good as in his fine portrayal of the crook in “The Three Wise Fools.” Sidney F. Spencer as the flapperish news-chaser was quite coy and girlish, and when she rolled her eyes at the hard-boiled millionaire, she melted his heart. I. S. Webster, who acted the latter part, can be remembered in last year’s show in the part of the old grouch, and, as before, his performance is Page one hundred forty-five 1926 I I I I I K ' .i i worthy of much praise. Ernest P. Wood, as an expert stock market manipulator who runs in hard luck in spite of his fifty years, acted the part as naturally as if he had done it before. R. L. Rees took the part of the typical banker, which he can always so ably fill, and his finished work gave an atmosphere of dis¬ tinction to the whole piece. R. G. Whittemore as Mrs. Dwight Allen, a big fish in a small social pond, and her charming daughter, W. H. Doyle, showed themselves to be the typical “inutile,” and aptly fulfilled the role of “the World and her Daughter.” C. G. Engstrom did a very creditable job as a parasitic suitor for the hand of June Allen. Ivan M. Dockham, the blow-hard type of college boy, cannot be said to have acted naturally, but assumed a convincing semblance of reality. Edward Ca- halen and R. K. Irons as auto pedler and jeweler, respectively, made an art of cold-blooded business methods; and Glifford Ray, the maid of the piece, can¬ not well be overlooked. The scene of the play is Taunton, and the action takes place at the present time. The plot depicts a shoe clerk in the town shoe shop who, on the death Page one hundred forty-six 1926 of the manager, expects his position, but is deprived of this expectation by the arrival from college of the owner’s son, whose knowledge of the business, in spite of his college education, is such that he claims that an A is wider than a B. Luck has not deserted Andy, however, for his rich uncle comes back to town and wills his million dollars to him. Later the old grouch has a severe heart attack, and Andy, expecting his early demise, proceeds to borrow ten thousand dollars on the strength of it, to put his new arch supporter on the mar¬ ket. He also buys, on credit, a new Packard, and from the town jeweler an engagement ring and necklace. At the party of the town’s social celebrities that evening, Andy, to make his triumph complete, becomes engaged to the richest girl of Taunton, totally forgetful of the cashier at his former place of work, who so understands and loves him. Later during the evening, Uncle Ira puts in his appearance as well as ever and, realizing how Andy has acted, he proceeds to disinherit him. Of course, all of Andy’s creditors, now, realizing that he is nothing but a “Four-Flusher,” force him into embarrassing situations by demanding cash for the things he has bought of return of the same. Naturally, now that he is no longer a prospective million- Page one hundred forty-seven 1926 «i.i i aire, his social star breaks the engagement and leaves Andy to find solace with the little girl who has held his love all the while, though he was blind to that before. Then, to make it a real happy ending, Andy finds that the banker’s brother has found his patented arch worth marketing and Andy’s success is assured. Uncle Ira, not to be outdone, again makes Andy his heir, but Andy doesn’t wish him to leave the earth as soon, this time. All in all, the comedy was extremely diverting and the plot intricate enough to be more than interesting. Under the management of Paul S. Otis and John A. H. Crosier, the financial outcome of the production was just as was expected. J. F. Wood, who handled the staging and properties of the show, deserves credit for his work in that line. F. C. Pomeroy and Carl Ohrn ably secured the publicity and advertising which is so important a feature in producing any show. It is safe to predict at this time that the “Masque” will soon take its place among other colleges in the character and financial success of its efforts and the players, managing staff, and excellent coach deserve all the praise and con¬ gratulation that this book can award to any Tech activity. Page one hundred forty-eight 1926 The present executive Secretary of the W. P. I. Y. M. C. A., Mr. Paul R. Swan, took office at the beginning of this college year- He was a student at Tech for two years, and then, deciding to take up “Y ’ work, completed his college course at Clark. He was Boys’ Work Secretary of the Worcester City Y. M. C. A. before he became head of the Tech branch, which is now definitely organized as an in¬ tegral part of the City “Y.” His work this year has been strikingly successful. The year opened with the usual Cabinet Setting-Up Conference, held the week¬ end before registration at Hamagrel Farm, Auburn. Every cabinet member was present and outlined his branch of the work for the year. When college opened in the Fall, the new men were helped to find rooms and get settled here at Tech. The “Tech Bible ' ' appeared in a new and revised form; six hundred were given away in the first few days and the demand exceeded the supply. The Freshman reception was held during the first week under the direction of “Mab” Steele. It was highly successful and the freshmen were given a fitting initiation into Tech life. The Tech Carnival was also under the direction of “Mab” Steele this year. The usual Freshman, Sophomore and Faculty acts “brought down the house,” while the management won the approval of those present by allowing more time for dancing. Tech has sent delegates to several regional conferences this year, and has definitely assumed her place among the colleges of New England in this field of “Y” work. The outstanding event of the year has been the revival of the old custom of holding daily Chapel Services in the Library of Boynton Hall. This is in accord with the expressed wish of our founder, John Boynton, that the Bible be in daily use at the Institute. The Tech Y. M. C. A. has charge of the exercises, securing leaders and making all necessary arrangements. The employment bureau has been thoroughly reorganized this year, a census of available employment near Tech has been taken, and a large number of men have been given part time employment. The arrangement of the “Y” reading rooms has been altered, the magazine list revised, the pool tables have been kept in condition, and a better system of letting out balls and cues introduced. On the whole, the effectiveness of the “Y” has been great on the Hill this year. Page one hundred forty-nine 192 .© Y. M. C. A.

Thompson, President Francis E. McCarthy, Vice-President Salvatore F. Marino, Secretary Frank H. Cosgrove, Treasurer The past year brought to a climax a matter which had been long debated; namely, the joining of the National Federation of Newman Clubs. Under the initiative of the officers and Dr. Burns, the advisor, initial steps were made at the beginning of the college year, and in the early part of January word was received from the President of the New England Province that the Tech Newman Club was admitted to the National organization. During the year meetings were held once a month and were well attended. The annual dance, held in the gymnasium was, as usual, a success. All in all, the club has a very successful year. With these accomplishments as a foundation the local organization should make rapid strides in the future. Page one hundred fifty-one 1926 I I II NEWMAN CLUB MEMBERS 1926 Frank H. Cosgrove Anthony F.

Webster, President William E. Taylor, Vice-President Clyde W. Hubbard, Treasurer Roger M. Browning, Secretary The W. P. I. chapter of the Student Branch of the American Society of Me¬ chanical Engineers has a membership of about fifty of the men in he three upper classes who are taking the M. E. course. Much of the success of the chapter is due to the untiring efforts of Prof. Roys and Prof. Fairfield, who have always been keenly interested in the chapter, both of these men being active members in the parent society. During the year several meetings were held at which student members of the chapter discussed interesting subjects relating to Mechanical Engineering. A new policy which received its start this last year is having the discussions carried on by the members themselves instead of inviting men from outs-ide the school to speak, as has been done in previous years. In this way, valuable experience was acquired by the student giving the discussion, and interesting information was available to the other members. Refreshments were served aft r the meetings. This year the chapter advanced a step in having two delegates present at the National Convent ion of Student Branches in New York. This convention was held at the same time as the parent society convention early in December. The delegates besides attending the Student Convention and thus obtaining many new ideas on Student Branch activities, were enabled to visit sessions, of the parent society convention and obtain much information on the progress of some depart¬ ments of Mechanical Engineering. Page, one hundred fifty-seven 1 926 A. Harold Wendin, ’26, President Harry J. Kathman, ’27, Vice-President Arthur E. Carey, ’27, Secretary C. Sture Carlson, ’26, Treasurer The student chapter of the A. S. C. E., during the past year, has returned to its former position of influence among the neighboring societies on the Hill. The features of its accomplishments this year are the adoption of a new con¬ stitution, an increase in its membership from twenty-eight to forty-four, and the efficiency with which the program of the monthly meetings was rendered. Among the prominent outside speakers that were heard by the chapter this year were Mr. Prevost Hubbard, a highway engineer, and Mr. Wood, the con¬ sulting engineer of the Ohio River Edison Power Plant. Of our own faculty, Professor Howe addressed the March meeting, telling of his inspection tour while at the A. S. C. E. convention in New York, and Mr. Carl F. Mever delivered a very picturesque account of the Caribou Hydro-Electric development in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Meetings are held every fortnight and subjects of a widely varied nature are discussed by members of the Society. At the close of every year the faithful ones are justly rewarded with an ap¬ propriate shingle and seal, the seal designating the number of years the honored one has been a “follower of Boyle.” Last year an innovation in the form of a banquet took the place of the last meeting. It proved a most remarkable success and it can already be put down as a regular annual affair. During the past year, through the sponsorship of the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society, the Sceptical Chymists became affiliated with the above organization in a union made up of similar societies of neighbor¬ ing schools and colleges. According to this plan, joint meetings of the American Chemical Society and the various college societies are held at frequent intervals, and in this way the younger men still at college become better acquainted with the more experienced men of the profession, and it is not at all improbable that it will pave the way for the formation of a student branch of the American Chemical Society. 1 926 Page one hundred fifty-nine Oliver H. Brewster, ’26, Chairman Donald A. Calder, ’26, Vice-Chairman Richard A. Beth, ’27, Secretary John F. Wood, ’27, Treasurer Harold A. Maxfield, Faculty Advisor During the past year there has been built up one of the strongest and most active student branches of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. The organization of this branch was taken up by several of the students in order that they might come in closer contact with men who have made a life work of engineering. Professor Smith and Mr. Maxfield of the Electrical Engineering Department have been closely connected with the work of organizing this branch and deserve a great deal of credit for its success. The meetings of this organization are held monthly, and speakers are ob¬ tained from the large engineering companies in the east. Another feature is the promotion of original work in the fields of engineering and research. In accordance with this several of the members do a reasonable amount of research study to prepare papers for presentation at Branch meetings. The national organization is the largest engineering society in the world. It has sections in practically every large city, and student branches in all the leading engineering colleges. In order to obtain unity of action it is desirable that the various branches be brought together. For this reason there are several district meetings held each year. Page one hundred sixty Page one hundred sixty-one 1 926 THE INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL Worcester Tech was one of the first colleges in the country to appreciate the value of an inter-fraternity ruling body, and was accordingly one of the earliest to take such a step when the local Inter-fraternity Council was founded more than a decade ago. Since its inception it has been a powerful influence in maintaining friendly relations between the various chapters. In 1922 it adopted a scheme for de¬ layed rushing, which has since been in force with very considerable success. Its actions during recent years have been guided by Prof. H. B. Smith, who, as chairman of the body, has exerted a powerful influence in the matter of bet¬ tering inter-fraternity relations. Prof. Smith’s interest attained national prom¬ inence in the founding of a national inter-fraternity conference several years back, as he was one of the prime movers of the project. In addition to controlling the rushing situation, the body promotes inter-fra¬ ternity athletics, and offers trophies for championships in all the major sports with the exception of football. It also makes an annual award of “The Thinker,” a scholastic trophy, to that chapter finishing the year with the highest scholastic average. The spirit prevalent in its relations is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that never in its history has a delegate cast a dissenting vote on any major point of action undertaken by the body. In the past year the old rushing rules were deemed inadequate and a move was accordingly made to remedy the situation. Some difficulty was experienced in drafting a suitable set of regulations, owing to uncertainty on the question of the erection of a dormitory for Freshmen. At the close of the first semester, Prof. Smith resigned from the Council and Prof. Albert S. Richey was elected to succeed him as chairman. Since then the body has been concentrating its efforts on the drafting of a set of satisfactory rushing rules. Page one hundred sixty-tivo mitt FIRST SEMESTER Prof. Harold B.

Still, the record which the eleven made is without parallel in Tech’s football annals for at least a decade. In a schedule of six games, the statistics show that Coa ch Bigler’s men won three, lost two, and earned a tie decision in the other contest. Worcester, 6 Trinity, 0 The opening game of the year was staged in Hartford with Trinity College, and the Boynton Hill team triumphed in spite of the lack of practice. Tech outplayed Trinity in most departments of the game, except in the ability to run hack punts. Lack of interference, caused by the short amount of practice, was undoubtedly responsible for this. With both teams scoreless in the third quarter, Trinity tried a forward pass, but “Joe” Guidi, speedy halfback, intercepted it Page one hundred eighty-six 1 926 I and tore through the Connecticut team for seventy yards and a touchdown. Con¬ verse missed a dropkick for the extra point. In the final quarter, Tech was un¬ able to make any appreciative gains, but the defense tightened and threw the Trinity backs for loss after loss. Worcester, 12 Hamilton, 12 A referee’s decision played an important part in the second contest of the year, which was finally declared a tie. Playing conditions during the game were hardly of the best, as the field was wind-swept and covered with snow. Toward the end of the opening quarter, Converse kicked to a Hamilton back who saw that the ball was due to cross the line and attempted to avoid it. However, it struck him, and Dahl, Tech end, dropped on it as it rolled across the goal line. The referee disallowed the touchdown, and play continued. Hamilton crossed our line twice after that, while Converse, in a brilliant exhibition of broken-field work, ran back a kick from our twenty-yard line. The score at the close of the game was 12-6 in Hamilton’s favor. But three weeks later the New York College wired that reference of the matter to a committee had resulted in the contest being declared a tie. New London Sub Base, 33 Worcester, 0 The first defeat of the season came with the New London Submarine Base Gobs furnishing the opposition. The Navy men outweighed the Engineers by twenty pounds to a man, and crossed the Tech line consistently on straight foot¬ ball. Converse and Guidi worked well on the aerial game, but were unable to get away for a score. Mass. “Aggies,” 54 Worcester, 19 The team suffered its second setback of the season at the hands of the Mass. “Aggies’ ” eleven a week later. The “Aggies” had a well-coached aggregation and gained continuously on an end run formation, which the Tech wingmen failed to solve. In the second quarter Converse received a kick, reversed the field twice, and ran it back 85 yards for a touchdown, the first score of the season to be made at the “Aggies’” expense. Guidi broke through on an off-tackle play, and by brilliant broken-field running, covered 75 yards for Tech’s second touchdown. The third score came in the final quarter, when a series of end runs and passes, climaxed by a sensational 40-yard run by Converse, brought the final touchdown of the game. Worcester, 26 Rhode Island State, 18 With two straight defeats behind them, the team faced the Rhode Island State Page one hundred eighty-seven 1 926 CAPTAIN CARLSON MANAGER OTIS eleven a week later, and won by a 26-18 score. The game was replete with breaks, and Dahl scored a few minutes after the opening whistle by intercepting a Rhode Island pass,. Converse accounted for three more, and made a 40-yard and an 80-yard run in tallying the last two times. The fine play of Captain Carlson and Dimick during the game was worthy of note. Worcester, 15 Lowell Textile, 7 The season closed at Lowell with another victory in which Converse furnished the crowd with a thrill when he raced 96 yards for a touchdown, aided by magni¬ ficent interference by “Toot” Dahl. The Textile team outweighed the Engineers, but lacked the speed of our backfield, and could not cope with the situation. At the close of the year letters, were awarded to Captain Sture Carlson and “Bill” Lester, tackles; “Hap” Wendin and “Toot” Dahl, ends; “Ted” Lewis, cen¬ ter; “Dan” Dimick, “Ed” Delano and Shakour, guards; “Joe” Guidi, “Dick” Converse, “Len” Calder, “Whitey” Whittemore, and “Charlie” Moran, backs; and Paul Otis, manager. “Ted” Lewis was elected captain of the 1926 team, with “Bunny” Rogers, manager, and “Gus” Cook and “Milt” Swanson, assistant managers. Choice of a mythical All-New-England small college eleven by various sporting critics, found Converse rated as the outstanding back of the year, with Guidi coming in for honorable mention. Page one hundred eighty-eight Page one hundred eighty-nine 192 ,© I I I !l I II I II I II I II ..i,I i BASKETBALL TEAM When the first call for basketball was issued, but three letter men reported and there was but little more than a week in which to get a team ready for the first game. The letter men to report were “Jerry” Bittner, “Les” Gallup, and “Ray” Kimball; while from the substitutes and second squad there were “Joe” Harris, “Honey” Neubauer, “Bob” Cotton, “Les” Wilkinson and “Bill” Rauha. The season started with a decisive win over New Bedford Textile by a score of 52 to 26. The team worked smoothly for one that had had as little time to prepare as the squad did this year. Immediately after the Christmas vacation the team took the floor against the highly-praised M. A. C. team, and refused to acknowledge defeat until the final whistle blew, with the score 27 to 14 in the Agrarians’ favor. The team next travelled to Springfield, where they lost to the strong Springfield College five, 36 to 20. The next contest was with our old rivals from Main South,—Clark College. After a hard battle we came forth victorious and sent them home on the short end of a 27 to 24 score. Trinity 1 926 Page one hundred ninety t proved a stumbling block and handed us a 44 to 26 defeat. Two victories followed in quick succession over the Springfield Y. M. C. A., and Boston Uni¬ versity, by scores of 40 to 21, and 43 to 14. During the mid-year recess the team invaded New York to play a series to three games.. In spite of our fondest hopes they were unable to add any victories to the growing list. The first game was lost to Pratt Institute by a score of 28 to 19. Upsala College and then the Crescent A. C. both beat us by scores of 32 to 30, and 47 to 31. In the next three games the losses of the New York trip were atoned for by victories over Brown, Tufts, and the Alumni. The Brown game was a thriller and only after forty minutes of fast basketball did we emerge victorious by a score of 21 to 18. In the Tufts game the team avenged the heart-breaking defeat suffered the year before at their hands by running up a 36 to 26 score. In the Alumni game we had the opportunity of seeing the old championship team, with Berry, Pickwick, Stoughton, White, and others in action again. They gave the younger team a stiff battle but were defeated, 36 to 27. The game with the University of Maine was a thriller indeed, as the Pine Tree Staters broke a tie in the last forty seconds by scoring a free try to win a 19 to 18 game. A second contest with Clark was played, and in order to prove our superiority the team ran up a 33 to 10 score. The next game was with Harvard, who always seems to he a tough nut for Tech teams to crack, and they beat us by a 33 to 22 score. The University of New Hampshire took our measure in a fast game and our team returned home on the short end of a 26 to 22 score. In the final game of the season the team came through with flying colors and piled up a 33 to 9 score against Lowell Textile. With a record of nine victories and nine defeats, in a difficult schedule, the season might well be called a very successful one. The team had developed into an efficient scoring machine, as there was not a man on it who could not he depended upon for points. Captain Gallup and “Honey” Neubauer filled the two forward positions in fine style, and were the two high scorers for the season. “Ray” Kimball played his position at center in a way that left nothing to be Page hundred ninety-one 1 926 CAPTAIN GALLUP MANAGER DOWNING desired. In the back court Harris and Cotton formed a defensive pair that our opponents generally found inpenetrable when trying to score. Bittner, Cour- ville, Wilkinson, Kearnan and Rauha broke into the lineup on various occasions and all gave excellent performances when the opportunity was presented them. At the close of the season letters were awarded to Captain Gallup, Manager Downing, Kimball, Neubauer, and Harris. “Joe” Harris was elected to Captain the ’26-’27 team, with Donald Dodkin as Manager, and George Styffe and Louis, Leidholdt as assistants. Graduation resulted in the loss of Neubauer and Bittner, but with a possibility of Calder and Gross returning to the fold and thus giving Coach Bigler a nucleus of six letter men, prospects indeed indicate a successful season next year. Page one hundred ninety-two 1 926 • I Page one hundred ninety-three 1926 I I II II II II II BASEBALL A record of six victories, three defeats and one tie, marked the 1925 baseball season as one of the most successful in several years. Coach Bigler faced the opening contest with a considerable array of veteran material and proceeded to make use of it. With a nucleus of ten letter men in Neubauer, Wilson and Sharpe, infielders; MjcGarrell, McCarthy and Brackett, outfielders; and McAuliffe, Curran, Calder and Moran for the battery positions, prospects were quite bright. Harris, Kallander, Gleason and Guidi served to complete the roster. Competition was so keen that two former letter men failed to win awards during the season. The opening contest of the year was played on Alumni Field with the M. I. T. Beavers. The visiting engineers displayed a smoother brand of team-work and won out by a 5 to 3 score. Page one hundred ninety-four 1926 1 I Middlebury appeared for the second contest and was defeated 12 to 11 in a veritable slug fest. The playing on both sides was loose, but matters were not helped any by unfavorable weather conditions. Northeastern followed and was smothered under an avalanche of nine runs, while they collected but one off McAuliffe’s delivery. The infield displayed marked improvement and gave evidence of developing into a smooth-working combination. The team’s winning streak ran up to three straight when Bowdoin, fresh from a victory over the Harvard nine, was entertained here. The engineers worked the squeeze play to excellent advantage, and Calder tightened in the pinches to win by a 5-1 score. Curran started the B. U. game with a lame arm and was knocked out of the box in the fourth inning when the Terriers scored five runs. McAuliffe relieved him and held the visitors hitless for the rest of the game, but the damage was done, and B. U. departed with a 6 to 2 victory. Trinity failed to solve McAuliffe’s pitching a week later in Hartford, and Tech came through with a 6 to 1 victory. Failure to connect safely cost the team a game at Kingston, when Rhode Island State won out by a 3 to 1 score. Coach Bigler presented a changed lineup against Lowell Textile and defeated the Lowell team, 11-7. Curran and Brackett came in from the outfield to cover first and third, while Harris and McCarthy were given regular berths in the garden. The new lineup worked to perfection against New Bedford Textile and the team swamped the visitors by a 15 to 1 score. The final game of the season was played in Durham, and was declared a tie at 11 all after 10 innings had been played. Tech ran up an early lead, while New Hampshire failed to find McAuliffe until the ninth, when rain killed his control a nd the home team tied the count. Darkness was responsible for the Page one hundred ninety-five 1 926 CAPTAIN SHARP MANAGER JORDAN tie, though the weather might well have been used as a reason for such action. At the close of the season letter awards were made to Capt. Sharpe, Manager Jordan, Neubauer, Guidi, McAuliffe, Calder, Curran, Gleason, Wilson, McGarrell, Harris and Brackett. “Eddie” McGarrell was elected to captain the 1926 team, with “Bruce” Brewster as Manager, and “Ed” Kearnan and “Bob” Johnson as assistants. Graduation was responsible for the loss of three men, as Sharpe, Curran and McAuliffe were all awarded sheepskins. The loss of the trio will be seriously felt as Sharpe’s fielding has been little short of marvellous in his guarding of the keystone sack; Curran has displayed unusual versatility in jumping from the mound to the garden and then to the initial sack; and McAuliffe’s work in the box was outstanding throughout the season.

During the season but two dual meets were staged, though the team had entries in both the Eastern and New England Collegiates- The first meet was held with Trinity College and the Engineers won by the score of 69 5-6 to 55 1-6. Coach Johnstone had in his entries eight letter men in Carpenter, Delphos, Winckler, Forbes, Curran, LeClerc, Meigs and Hubbard. Four other men were ineligible, as Capt. Thomson, Rice, Doe and Carlson were under faculty censure. Tech was supreme in the sprints and field events, while the Hartford team had the edge in the distance runs. Carpenter, Forbes and Winckler featured the meet for Worcester. A week later the team journeyed to Springfield to compete in the Eastern lnter-Collegiates. Springfield College won the meet, but Tech rooters took con¬ solation in the performance of “Dinny” Forbes, who won the mile in remarkably i t Page one hundred ninety-eight 1926 • I RELAY TEAM fast time and placed second in the half. Carpenter won a third place in the broad jump, and Winckler took a fourth place in the high hurdles, completing Worcester’s list of point winners. The final dual meet of the year was staged with the M. A. C. Team on Alumni Field. The Farmers won out by two points in as thrilling a contest as had been seen here for some time. Tech led until the last leap in the broad jump, the final event of the day, when Sniffen topped Carpenter for second place and gave his team the victory. Dockham, a Freshman, established a new College record of 152 feet, 2 inches, in the javelin throw. Carpenter, Thomson, and Forbes were entered in the New England Inter- Collegiates, but failed to place. RELAY The indoor track season was disastrous, as during the entire winter, Tech failed to win a verdict. The B. A. A. games found the relay quartet of Minnick, Carpenter, Meigs Page one hundred ninety-nine 192.6 CROSS COUNTRY TEAM and Thomson stacked up against Northeastern. The Northeastern team jumped off to an early lead and maintained their advantage. In a dual meet with Northeastern the team fared little better, though the Boston team was forced to break five records to win the number of first places credited to it. The final score of 67 to 10 gives evidence of the superiority of the Northeastern team. Mass. “Aggies” closed the indoor season by a 40 to 28 victory over the Engineers. The relay race was the brightest spot from Worcester’s point of view, as the Tech quartet walked away from its opponents. CROSS COUNTRY Lack of numbers was one major factor in the poor showing of the Cross Country Team, which failed to win a match, and lack of first-string men was another. Rhode Island State, Wesleyan and Mass. “Aggies” all defeated the Tech “Harriers,” and Pearson, a Freshman, who finished second in the Wesleyan meet, was the only Worcester runner to win a major letter award in the sport.

Page two hundred one 1 926 SOCCER TEAM The soccer season of 1925 closed with a record of seven wins and one defeat. This year stands as the most successful in this line of sport since it was in¬ augurated at Tech. The lone defeat was at the hands of the Springfield College eleven, which was the undisputed championship team of New England. By reason of a win over the strong Amherst aggregation, which held Dartmouth to a tie, the team was able to claim the title of runner-up for the New England honors. The season opened but three days after the beginning of the college year, when 1 926 « i. Page two hundred two the team won a hard-fought game with Northeastern in Boston. Playing on a rain-soaked field the Crimson and Grey team came through with a 3-2 victory, due chiefly to the efforts of Neubauer and Gruman. The second game of the season, that with Wesleyan, showed the real power of the team for the first time. Wesleyan was easily defeated 3-1. This time the game was carried on amid a snowstorm. Neubauer was again the main-spring in the team’s offense, for it was he who was responsible for two of the three goals. The next contest was played with Springfield College on the opponent’s field The athletes presented too well rounded a team for the Worcester men to cope with, and although the Tech men played a determined game, Springfield won by a score of 3-0. It has been said that this game was more directly responsible for whipping the team into shape than any other single element of their development. On October 21, Tech reopened athletic relations with Clark when the team went down to the Whittall Field and administered a defeat to the score of 2-1. The M. I. T. eleven was the next to stack up against the local team. For the past two years the Boston aggregation has turned back the Worcester kickers with losses, but this year found the tables turned, for on October 21 the home team won a fast and well-played game with a 2-1 score. Gruman was the first man to score in this contest and then only late in the second period. Less than a minute later the Boston team came back with a goal, and in the closing minutes Gruman again saved the day with a fine kick which proved to be the deciding point. The annual game with the Chinese students of Boston was rather a failure this year. Some of their men did not arrive in time and the game was formally forfeited. Later in the afternoon a practice game was played with those who came which resulted in a 3-0 victory for the varsity. Neubauer, Gruman and Ericson were each responsible for a tally. The following contest, played on November 7 was the most satisfying victory of the season, for the series with Amherst stood at two and two previous to this game. This year the team came through with some wonderful team play and won, 2-1. The victory w as due largely to the fine work of Mallett, Gruman and Neubauer, who kept the opponents constantly worried and scored Tech’s pointers. However, without the stalwart defensive play of Wood, Driscoll and Morse, it Page two hundred three I k CAPTAIN MALLET MANAGER HOWES is doubtful if the story would have been the same. The final game of the season in which New Hampshire was soundly defeated, 3-1, added glory to a season already more than satisfactory. A high wind and a muddy field made playing difficult, but the engineers won by a safe margin. The team loses but two men by graduation, “Deac” Morse, goalie, and “Honey” Neubauer, the sterling forward. With the return of nearly the whole team, Capt.- elect “Ranny” Jones should have a strong lineup on the field next fall. There are several substitutes ready to step in and take the places left vacant, and al¬ though the services of the Seniors will he greatly missed, their positio ns will be well taken care of. The men to receive their letters this year are Capt. Mallett, Morse, Neubauer, Fogg, Jones, Lehtinen, Ungethuem, Wood, Driscoll, Ericson, Gruman, and Manager Howes. “Frankie” Taylor was chosen manager for next year, with “Bernie” Carlson and “Al” Saute as assistants, and it is expected that he will have another championship team to control. 19a© Page two hundred four TENNIS TEAM Prospects at the start of the 1925 tennis season looked fairly bright, with three letter men hack and a promising freshman candidate to work with. Capt. Franks, Chou and Irons had all played one year of varsity. Manager Englund arranged an eleven-match schedule, with a three-day trip to Vermont and Middlebury. The team was somewhat handicapped as usual by the late start on outdoor practice and the courts were barely ready before the first match. 1926 Page two hundred five I I « I II II II ll II The year started off with a bang when Tech cleaned up the opening contest with Northeastern, five matches to one, Franks being the only man to drop a match. The next two matches resulted in reverses, however, Springfield won four to two, and Holy Cross took five out of six. The Springfield match was very close and Tech might easily have won. Irons lost to Tung, 9-7, 6-4, and Kranz was defeated by Rivers, 1-6, 6-1, 1-6. The Tech pair turned around and gave their erstwhile opponents a lacing, 6-2, 6-2 in the doubles. Chou beat his man in both matches. The next four matches were rather discouraging. New Hampshire, Vermont, Middlebury and Boston University all managed to secure a tie. Kranz won his singles in the last three matches. The University of Vermont won the return match on our courts by a 5-1 score. Tufts also took our team into camp by winning all six matches. Tech beat Northeastern again, six to nothing, and lost the last match to the Alumni on Commencement day, five to one. The unfortunate thing about the season as a whole was that the individual members of the team never seemed to play well on the same day. Kranz was putting up a consistent game at the end of the season, but the other members of the team only exhibited the tennis of which they were capable periodically. Kranz and “Dick” Irons made a strong doubles combination, and won seven matches. Irons played much better tennis in the doubles than he did in any of his singles matches, although at the end of the season he was going much better, winning the last two matches easily. Chou and Franks did not pair up well in doubles and had but little success during the season. “Newt” Loud and “Charlie” Smith saw action in a couple of matches. At the close of the season letters were awarded to Capt. Franks, Chou, Irons and Kranz. Irons was elected Captain for the 1926 season, and Lovewell was delegated to manage the team, with “Don” Bliss and Stephenson as his assistants. Graduation resulted in the loss of Franks and Chou, and left the team more or less dependent on Freshman material for the next vear. Page two hundred six « .. . 1 926 RIFLE CLUB 0. H. Brewster, President M. W. Gawlowicz, Treasurer F. H. Knight, Vice-President D. F. Sears, Secretary The Rifle Club, after a lapse of activity, was reorganized last year. During the season of 1923-24, the team had no matches, and participated in only four meets during the year of 1924-25, when interclass matches were revived. With four veterans to start the new season, prospects seemed bright for a good team during this past year. Among these, Capt. “Mike’ ' Gawlowicz, high scorer during the past season, and Harry Kathman were letter men. Sears and Blivens were the other two varsity men to start on the team. Schmidt, Flemming, Fryer and Doyle were the new men who were found as good varsity material from the results of the interclass meets, and Horne and Hanmiar completed the team. Out of seven matches held this year, the team has won only one, that being against Williams College, the oidy non-military college on the schedule. The University of West Virginia and Dartmouth beat the Tech sharpshooters by a margin of one point and three points respectively, while California, Maine, Syra¬ cuse and De Pauw won more decisively. To date the following is the list of rank in total score of the three leading: Gawlowicz, 95.75 percent; Horne, 93.03 percent; and Doyle, 92.71 percent. Watch charms were awarded to the letter men in accordance with previous practice. Page two hundred seven 1926 CHEERLEADERS Stanley R. Osborne, ’26 Irvin S. Webster, ’26 Assistants Joseph M.

One morning, early in September, 1924, twenty-six Junior Civils arrived, laden with baggage, at the Chaffins Hydraulic Lab. That morning we busied ourselves in pitching the four tents that were to be our shelter for the next few weeks. At midday, we enjoyed the first meal at camp, prepared with rare skill and in generous portion by the hand of our genial chef, “George.” A reconnaissance survey of the railroad spur that we were to lay out was the program for the afternoon. Professor Taylor led us over hill and swamp at a fast pace the four miles to Unionville. There was much weariness of bone and muscle in the camp that night. The days passed all too swiftly. When it was fair, we ran the line, leveled, took topography from imagination, slope staked, and walked miles in so doing. On rainy days, we computed, played pinochle, hoped that our tents would not leak, and then slept in wet blankets. In the morning some fellows elected to start the day with a plunge in the pond. Most of us, however, lay abed, barely getting to breakfast on time. Eve¬ nings, we played cards, “bummed” to Holden, held lively discussions in tent No. 1 on subjects with which we were little informed, read or studied for makeups. The events peculiar to our stay at Chaffins were those that centered around the current meter rating apparatus in the upper pond. The boom used in those tests had come to rest a few yards from shore. Howard Smith, “Ed” Howe, and Frank Cosgrove contrived to bring the end of the boom to the dock by fastening a rope around its end. One of the three then conceived the idea of inducing some Page two hundred sixteen l oae I • v ?T r � ( 5 o ' l r jt r w - i ' . Reason of fa.il jr- f exceeded ; HAFFIiiS r, • — ■ lamd op r«E plca vmo tme; home: T-Me sla e p AST.i� iE Of ' er- � - r W of the brethren to board the boom, after which they would allow it to swing to its natural posit ion in mid-stream, thereby trapping the unfortunate ones on board. The outcome of this plan was better than their fondest hopes. Four victims bit gullibly, and soon Messrs. Downing, Pineo, Jennings and Wendin found them¬ selves a short swim from the shore. Wendin showed a method of escape by walking to shore on the guy wire overhead. The other three were unwilling to follow this route. After much teasing the perpetrators of the plot hauled the boom within jumping distance of the shore. Pineo jumped successfully, hut Down¬ ing, from an insecure footing, jumped high in the air, making a wonderful splash in landing in four feet of water and mud. The hanks, crowded with spectators, reverberated with laughter at this exhibition of high diving and it is doubtful if Downing will ever hear the end of it. Wendin’s feat of reaching shore by the the aerial route provoked several other attempts of hand-over-hand travel. Before the end of these contests, Bassilakis, Howe, Wendin, Carlson and Alberti had fallen from the height of the guy wire to the water below. Carlson and Alberti were the most successful of those who tried it. Such are some of the high spots of our summer course. With the railroad located, we broke camp at the end of the third week and thus ended one of the best parts of our course at Tech. V ' ii’ ' Page two hundred seventeen 1926 AN EXPERIMENT IN STRUCTURAL DESIGN Object: To while away three hours one Thursday afternoon, and incidentally to de¬ sign a few trusses and girders. Apparatus : The Civil Design room, ten Senior Civils, “Pa” French, and sundry apparatus such as rivets, beams, computation sheets, and the like. Procedure: The one o’clock bell clangs; Stuart, who has anticipated this signal, immedi¬ ately begins to design gusset plates with great determination. Very soon, the outer door of the inner sanctum opens and “Pa” makes his appearance. Upon his advent the class formally begins. The rest of the class then assembles one by one. Downing arrives and is greeted with prolonged cheers, arranged by the committee of welcome. Next, Zackrison floats in and questions as to his health and sanity are raised, but “Zack” laughs them off and begins copying up the back work. For a quarter of an hour all is quiet in the room until Wendin, the walking delegate of the Civil Union, appears. He immediately makes the rounds of the room to see if the proverbial nineteen rivets or equivalent have been ex¬ ceeded. Pineo is the only offender, and after threatening expulsion from the Union, Wendin departs via the window, while the members bid him a fond, but noisy farewell. This completes the roster and everyone becomes absorbed in his work. Another short while elapses, then“ Pa” leaves for the smoking room. This is the cue for the fraternity argument to start around Downing’s desk and before long Downing is battling for dear life. The topics are diverse, as everything from monthly marks to basketball tactics are discussed. This, continues for about fif¬ teen inhalations, and then “Pa” suddenly returns. The crowd disperses and the remainder of the afternoon is spent in a pleasant manner. Conclusion: The primary object of this experiment was attained, in that the three hours were whiled away after a fashion. Page two hundred eighteen CHEMISTS The chemists are a motley crew, always busy, never thru, Yet they’re happy as can be, as most anyone can see. Archie’s the first of the bunch, and you can always take this hunch, If he’s not week-ending at home, he must be on his way to Rome. ’Tis said with almost surety, the following about friend Gridley, His girl he visits every night, to see if everything’s still right. And now there comes Ormond J., the shortest one, we must say, But we all know the best of things, smallest package always brings.

I I I ‘•M i THE ROVER BOYS IN THE MOUNTAINS OR IN SEARCH OF HIDDEN POWER PLANTS CHAPTER I “Hurrah,” shouted Dick. “Hurrah,” sang Sam, who belonged to the Glee Club and sang at the slightest provocation. “Hurrah to the hysteretic power,” retorted Tom, the fun-loving Rover, reading directly from “Doc” Pierce’s Lecture Notes. For it was, at the end of the Junior year at Tech and the Rover boys were off (in more ways than one) together with about forty other Electrics, to give the in¬ habitants of Vermont a treat ( ? ). “But it is raining,” pointed out the serious-minded Dick. “Ouch,” grinned Sam, as he got the point. “We aren’t engineers for nothing,” chuckled Tom, as he screwed up the barometer, and the rain stopped as explained in Duff’s “Textbook of Physics”. And half an hour after the rain had stopped, Fielder had his clutch engaged and was closely followed by Maxfield, who was doing full justice to his first meal on the expense account. CHAPTER 11 “Here we are in Wilmington,” assumed Dick, since for some unaccountable reason the signs were all gone and Farmers with a week’s growth of beard were searching vainly for the striped pole. “The first lap is over,” breathed Sam for the first time, as he appeared from beneath a pile of blankets which were apparently carried for ballast. Page two hundred twenty-one 1926 I I ' ■I I “I hope the laps here are softer,” interpolated the irrepressible Tom, who was a bear for accuracy after taking “Dutchy’s” P-Lab. Course Whereupon the laughter pealed from everyone in true Scarlet Fever form, and as the wind blew stronger, the form became more and more apparent. “I guess everyone is glad to see us,” hoped Sam, as one by one the shades went down, although it was broad daylight. “That must be in our honor,” sobbed Tom as the church bell chimed out quickly, followed by several men practicing the 440. And here, dear reader, kind darkness descended, though not without mis¬ givings. CHAPTER 111 “Hi, Sam, how’d you sleep at camp?” questioned Dick at the breakfast table, ducking under the table to avoid Sam’s haymaker, and staying there until Jacobs had finished his grapefruit. “McGarrell was there,” answered Sam, simply, “and Fennelly may succeed in imitating Ivory Soap with his clothes on when he reaches the 99 and 44-100 per cent stage.” “What dance did you go to?” interrupted Dick as the fun-loving Rover limped to his seat. “Don’t end your sentence with a preposition,” pleaded Tom, remembering his Zelotes, even under stress, and then, musingly, “Soft laps do not a dancer make.” The men hung around for a half an hour until Maxfield had finished eating, and then repaired again on their way (Fielder had been repairing all night and the villagers would repair after we left). CHAPTER IV “Look, Dick,” cried Sam, curiously enough, without a tear in his eye, “That’s a funny place to pile logs.” Page two hundred 926 twenty-two • i r . � • � Il II II II II SHUT UP L Go To V SLEEP MIELL Wh ' LL BE uy 9 Su e ' u ■ ff£ Ssy r fe A — f4, HevT[ ID -- BNr OF YOU Gcf S Trfk B DOlc nJ THRT Dl - 77 UlflA Ta [cur r L OUT ' Night ' s Sleep- ET :- k ' vouo S lOGKOLUhlQ ' 1 pr.

(Dan has already been mentioned in “The Rover Boys at Prep School,” or “Four Years at Clark,” which may be purchased at any bookstore). “And the Farmer took another load away,” mimicked the everjoyous Tom as the market became bullish, and helped the Farmer harvest a young tree which had sprung down in the middle of the road. “The last of the logs,” assured Dick, as the faculty rode past us and again took the lead. “That must be the Conn. River,” stated Sam, positively, as a stream of water came into sight around a bend in the road. (May Coombsie read this and forget the classic hour plan in Boynton). No, it’s the Deerfield,” disagreed Dick, dogmatically—whatever that is—turn¬ ing to Tom for support. “YES AND NO,” derided Tom, thumbing his nose at Adams in a last effort to get humor into this story. And here, dear reader, we must say good-bye, with the hope of meeting again with the Rover Boys in “C. D. Gives a Lecture,” or “The Return of the Missing Barber Poles.” (Editor’s Note) : This story is based on fact, as any Electric will testify, but, for obvious reasons, it is better to have the characters bear assumed names.

A Living Endowment The Alumni Association is an active, vigorous organiza¬ tion which seeks the highest possible attainments for Tech. The Association realizes that it is not the Board of Trus¬ tees, the Faculty nor the Undergraduate Body. It seeks neither to dictate to nor criticize any of these parts of the College. Wherever the Alumni can assist their Alma Mater by counsel or material contribution, they are always eager to give. The proposed Alumni Fund is designed to fur¬ nish the maximum future service with the least sacrifice on the part of the individual alumnus.
