A Toast to the Alumni

There is a meeting this evening of a group of
men that has done more in the interest of the
general welfare of Armour Institute of Tech—
nology than any other organization of which we
have any knowledge. The group to which we re—
for is the Armour Alumni Association. All the
members of this association within a radius of
one hundred miles of Chicago gather tonight for
their annual winter banquet and reunion.

On the occasion of this annual gebtogether of
the alumni, we wish to take the opportunity to

propose a toast of gratitude and appreciation to
them in which we feel sure every individual who,
has had some contact with Armour will join us.

To the more than 4,000 alumni of Armour Ira-1
stitute of Technology: l

For their generosity in giving of money to the i
Institute when she was in financial difficulty, 1

which has been a large factor in accounting for

the difference between what the student actually i
pays for his college education and what the actual 3
cost of educating him is;

For the fine reputation they have made for‘
Armour Institute by their loyal financial support
—a support which has averaged as much per
alumnus as any institution can boast—and their?
excellence in engineering endeavors; and i

For the continuance of their interest in‘
Armour and a closer cooperation and better un-
derstanding among the alumni, the student body,
the faculty, and trustees do we tender this toast
of gratitude, and appreciation, looking forward!

to and planning for a greater Armour Institutel "
of Technology. i

We wish to commend to the student body for:
their courteous and gentlemanly support the

 

 

lint STEAM SEEM

 

JOHNNY CITRO, eminent ex-
Notre Dame scientist, had a pretty
tough time lighting the arc-light last
week. . . JOHNNY just didn’t have
a match!

We've got to admit VINCE NEL-
SON can make it! While working with
“sanitary water” may give other
schmiers a headache, a healthy swaln
low only gives VINCE a Jag. . .“And
not much of a jag at that," says
VINCE.

And we’d advise BILL GRAY and
his partner to stick to smelling the
(‘OI‘IC in the future.

 

The merger of .I. W. Bard and R.
Mannl‘wld has apparently fallen
through. It seems that Mnnsfield's
prints aren't quite blurred enough to
meet Jake's requirements!

The Steam Shovel sincerely apol-
ogizes for prematurely advertising
MARTY LOFTUS’ new "tonsil oil".
He's been so busy taking orders that
he hasn't had time to complete his
invention.

As a double protection against the

EDWAM) KENT, 'dd- GEEMPGV STUDENT.
Edward Kent knows the value of a full rc-
serve of natural, vibrant energy. And that’s
one of the reasons why he sticks to Camels.
In his own words: "It takes a lot of hard
work to acquire any thorough knowledge of
geologymand a lot of energy. It's tiring at
timcp, but like most of the fellows around
here; I have found that smoking a Camel
cheers me up . . . chases away all fatigue . . .
gives wombat ‘lift’ in mental alertness and
physical well-being which I need to be able
to go on working with renewed energy.”

It’s just too bad that this material
must be written before the ARX
DANCE and printed later. We could
probably forecast a hit and antici—
pate what would happen, but perhaps
that will be better covered at a fu—
ture sitting. This much can safely
be said, however: that Ralph
F’RIESTLY and his attending dance
COMMITTEE have done everything
in their power to ma‘ke the dance a

HOWLING success.

The marl LUG who answers for
Jack Allen and says that Jack is hard
of HEARING, in our opinion, should
be “SINKED.”

 

Pmof. KREI—IBIEL thinks that more
female models in the LIFE class will
inspire Mal F‘ORSYTI—I and Irv AD-
DIS to attend‘ more REGULARLY.

This same Prof. Krehb'iel was very
philanthropic [out wool; and passed
out to the jmuiors about thirteen mew
lions in u water color JUDGMENT.
Not such a. lucky number for the pur-
1ics of the second part, the CROSSES.

 

Gus KVAPIL‘S puns (you may
call them that it you like) are
among- those things better left un-
said. But this bit of irony is worth
mentioning; because of its lesson in
punctuality in a SOCIAL SCIENCE
8:30 class. (And incidentally that’s
the middle of the night for an nrchi~

And now that you’re a
inns-tor, PROFESSOR BLOUGH,
would you mind keeping your eyes
open for some political jobs for a.
' few of us dumber seniors? Than/cs!

 
 

 

 

tect). Well, after just missing one
of those famous 8:30 DROP
QUIZZES, Gus, vehemently and most
emphatically ejaculated, “Chee whiz,
I could have made a STRAIGHT A
on tnut one.” Some irony.

 

And then there’s the one about
Matt SUMNER in SPECS. class. He
extended the courtesy of answering
the roll in person and then politely
said, “Excuse me please, I’ll be right
back." The fact is that he did re-
turn and was quite content to sit
still for the rest of the period.

This days finds the senior ARK
cumpleling their Emerson Prize prai-
ectc, entitled “A SHOP FRONT."
Them REALLY is a cash prize con-
nected with this, and it runs into
four figures ($50.00). The only
catch is that there are about 500
other projects in the competition.

 

Our department at the Art Insti~
tute is so well protected from in-
truders by the efficiency of the
GUARDS that Mr. Merrill, the new-
est acq 'sition to the faculty had no
little difficulty to get to his class.

 

Bob ESBENSEN, Abe BERN-
STIEIN, and Wes WEITING got over
the top in the junior “DUPLEX
HOUSES" with first mentions each.
Johnny MATANOCK, of the night
school department, also rated a first.
The presentations were favorably
acceplcdl with many pen and ink
renderings, water colors, opaques,
and pastels, and some that were not
no favorably accepted. Milt Kuhn,
among others. was MENTIONED;
bul‘ why he was so relieved about it
We can't figure out.

MISS EVELYN WATTS,
popular New York débu-
tame: “The last Came! I
smoke at night tastes just
as good as the first in the
morning. Camels are very
mild, too. Even when I
smoke a lot, they never
upset my nerves.”

 

 

 

 

play, “In the Zone,” which the Armour Players
are presenting this coming Friday. That such‘
efforts on the part of the Players are worthwhileg
has been proven time and again. We only hope
that those in attendance will forget that they are
engineering students and reflect credit upon
themselves and Armour by giving the play the
courteous and gentlemanly attention it deserves.

ment to see the sophomores and freshmen take‘ ‘
such an active interest in each other that they! [
