~ HE alumni of the Newark Tech
meal School has just rounded
= out its quarter century, having
celebrates it's twenty-five years of
existence on Thursday, May Is, 1913.
The association is composed of
graduates of the school and was or

bers of the graduating class of that
year. Meetings are held quarterly in
the school building, when interesting
lectures on technical and educational

cation Of BY Products. tsThe Con-
struction of the Hudson and Manhat-
tan Tunnels. illustrated with lantern
slides, and Low Grade Fuels" These
talks are interesting and instructive
to all. After the lectures refresh
ments and Smokes are enjoyed DUR
ing which time a general discussion
takes place and pleasant evening
is spent by all.
Annual Meeting.
In May. on the Thursday evening
during commencement week. the
annual meeting and election of Off
GERS take place. After the routine
business is completed the members
adjourn to the school hall, where a
banquet is served. Here old ac-
quaintances and friendships are
renewed, much like the reunion of
one huge, happy family. The work
of the school and its prospects for
the future are discussed, and many
stories and "reminiscences are told
by the older .members of the good
old days they spent at the odd
Tech"
The members of the association.
are all proud of their alma mater.
They will tell you that they have
every reason to be, and even more
SO than has a graduate from coll
iege. Colleges are conveniently To-
Gated everywhere. and If young
man is fortunate enough to be able
to attend professional institution,
there are great many for him to
select from. Many of the alumni of
the N. T. S. did not have the oppor-
tunity to go to college for their edu-
cation. but they crayed for knowl-
edge and the n. 7. S. supplied that
desire and gave to them what they
could not possibly otherwise have
obtained. Hence their pride.
The alumni can count amongst its
members many men who have made
good in the industrial and commercial
pursuits. With the scientific training
received at the Newark Technical
School the graduate goes out into the
world suprl;str win the knowledge of
>.<ults ths. w follow certain ac-
Fms: he XII ews the physical and
~>mical principles which underlie
.+Hse actions; he appreciates the sig
-zsseanee and Importance of executing

I'm and hence is in position to
operate, or direct and supervise the
operation of such machinery or proc
esses, SO as to obtain the best pos
siNle results in the most satisfactory
rfanner
In Many Professions.
The members are widely scattered,
their professions calling many of
them far away from our home town
to distant points throughout this
country and Europe. There are many
of them who come back and look over
the paths they have travelled while at
the school and the pleasant associa-
lions and remembrances Of the In
stsuctors and the school itself bring
me desire to go through the cold
<-~sh'' once again The proof of this
,aSslire is found in the number of mem
pers of the alumni who are pursuing
advanced courses in the school from
which they have been graduated, and
there are others who have been taxi
ing active interest in the affairs Of
both the undergraduate body and
alumni alike for years. The men do
not forget the institution which gave
them their first start toward the goal
of their ambitions.
An anniversary fund has been es-
tablished by the Alumni Association
and subscribed to by its members,
the object being to donate It to the
school in appreciation of the benefits
that the members feel they have de-
rived from its influence It is now
well up in, the four figure amount.
Ii was the intention of the members
Of the associa ton to turn over this
fund In the custody of Director Col
