Putting Armour Ahead

On the evening of March 17, 1934 the eyes of
the collegiate sports fans of the middle—west were
turned toward the Sixth Annual Armour Tech
Relay Carnival. This event brought before the
sports-loving public some of the finest track and
field men in college competition in the entire
country and, most important of all, brought to the
public a creditable light upon Armour Institute.
It served to add to Armour’s already well estab-
lished prestige as an active institution of higher
learning, that is interested in the athletic develop-
ment of a man as well as his mental.

More recently, We have heard of another plan
to put Armour ahead. It has been our good
fortune to hear that the director of the music
clubs, Mr. Erickson, has thought of moving the
next spring concert of the music clubs to some
down-town theatre, action in the matter depend-
ing upon what the student body thought of the
idea and how well they would support the concert.
We wish to give our commendation to such a
move and believe that, if the proper cooperation
of everyone involved can be obtained, especially a
better support from the members of the student
body and their friends, it will attract much more
favorable comment on the part of the general
public than has been the case before.

Since Mr. Erickson has been in charge of the
Armour Glee Club and Orchestra, he has done
very well in training and improving these organ—
izations and in placing them in concerts before
the public. The music groups have given concerts
for various civic clubs, for other schools, for the

Century of Progress, for several radio broadcast—
ing stations in Chicago, and for the students and
friends of Armour, which have been very well

received.

It seems only logical then, that the next step

‘ med in the lemma of “Manufacture of Iron (mt/I

Steel” in NW A. I. T. Library.

Dear Charlotte:

As I come to the end of another school week I think
of you. Ain’t that something. Anyhow you are still a
pleasant thought. Even though you are not near, It
sounds as if I were becoming sentimental.

You are working at the some place, thats fine! I work

once in a while myself.
‘ Charlotte, it has happened. I have fallen for a ‘nice
young lady at last. Can you imagine anything so funny?
I can’t. She, Frances, is a beautiful, well cultured. re—
fined young lady. I have only been out with her three
times, but that was enough. The sad part about it is
the fact that she is too much in demand. or is that an
added attraction. Of course this is only a mild case and
lacks all the thrill (score) of our little romance, if I may
call it that. In other words I mean that I am amused
and interested by Frances a great deal, but you still come
ahead of her. I guess there must be a difference between
liking someone when you are seventeen and liking some—
one when you are nineteen. Am I boring you?

Maybe I don’t change my mind fast for I thought when
I wrote my last letter, that I would take a trip to Chiv
cago now it doesn’t look as if: I would. You sure are
sweet to make such a promise as you did. I shall some—
day visit you and remind you of it, so please don’t for—
get the promise. I know that with you I could have a
lglorious time anywhere. You have my most sincere apv
preciotion.

School lets out June 9. Then I shall hunt for a job
for the summer. It really is too long to dwell into, but
I might say that I have given up plans for becoming a
doctor. I have come to see the fallacy of deciding one’s
course in life without actually knowing what one likes.
I have changed in so many things.

Give your mother my love on Mother’s Day. Also say
hello to Esther, Kenny, and your dad.

A kiss from me to you,
John.

P. S. If I do dream of you I shall wake up smiling
for the whole world I
So far, my resistance still prevailsl

forward for the music clubs and in “putting
Armour ahead” should be the opportunity to pre—
sent their concert in a larger and better known
auditorium than heretofore, such as a down-town
theatre would afford. This would indeed be a good
start toward the prominence and esteem which
we understand the spring concert of the Armour
Music Clubs had from all Chicago in the early
days of Armour Institute.

It is admitted that before such a step can be
taken many difficulties will have to be overcome.
It will require much work on the part of the mu—
sic organizations, considerable time and work to
make all necessary arrangements on matters sim-
ilar to the transference of one of the finest old
customs at Armour, the Fraternity Sing, and a
thorough support of the students.

The whole plan to move the concert as we un»
derstand it is merely a suggestion, but it seems to
