CLASS NOTES

Some people have the idea that
pupils who attend night schools have
tied themselves down to one long.
continuous grind To some extent
this is true. as it means self-deniai
and the giving up of great many
pleasures. But at Tech" there is
time when studies are forgotten. Here
students have little time 20 devote to
athletics, but make up for this handi-
cap in many other ways.
Besides. the fraternity and alumni
associations, there are other very
active bodies connected with the
Newark Technical School which must
not be overlooked. There are the
chess organizations.
Generally the classes organize at the
close of their first year at school. The
object of these different organizations
is the promotion of good fellowship,
general good times and. upon gradu-
alton, presenting the school with some
worthy gift in appreciation of the
many benefits derived from the insti-
tuition.
Each class is organized indepen-
"
students are elected by each body to
fulfill the duties of the different
Offices. Regular meetings are held, at
which time plans are made for the
future in the interest of the school
and student body
The chief benefit derived from
these meetings is that the members
obtain a better understanding of
each others aims and ambitions.
At these meetings is also manifest
that careful attention which the
boys pay to that part Of their
anatomy which plays so important
a part in the fulfillment of their ann
billions, and the feeds" served would
do justice to "Delmonico."
THE past year has been a most
successful one for the class organi-
cations. for several of the classes
have held smokers and theatre
parties and the class of 1915 has sue
cessfully engineered" class dance
which the boys have vowed to hold
each year until graduation.
1t will therefore be seen that even
though we must give up some social
pleasures while attending an eve
ming school, yet through our associa-
ton with each other in the support Of
class functions we ind that what at
first looked like very arduous
grind has become one of enjoyment
and satisfaction in knowing that
our pleasures are directly linked
with our ambitions.

THE FOUNDRY COURSE

In October. 1909. realizing the need
for a broader training for men en-
gagged in the various foundries of
Newark, the Technical School insti-
tuted course in foundry practise.
The purpose of this course is not to
teach the students the practical work
of moulding. but rather the theory,
the reason why, certain methods are
employed
The course is under the direction
of George Heggie, instructor in foun-
dry practise at Stevens Institute, Ho-
boken, and graduate of the Glasgow
Technical and Drafting Institute. The
studies pursued embrace a thorough
study of the ferrous and non-fer-
rous metals. their chemical and
physical properties. special attention
being given to their specific gravity,
specific heat, hardness. elasticity, etc.
The presen1e of PHOSPHORUS. man
ganese, silicon, etc, is also fully dis
cussed with view to ascertaining
their desirability or undesirability.
depending on the uses to which the
castings will be put.
Considerable time is devoted to the
manufacture. use and properties of
pig iron, and in connection with this
the construction and operation Of
blast furnaces and cupolas. The SUBJ
ject of fuel is also given considerable
attention and the relative value of
the various fuels Il discussed and
their application to the cupola for
different purposes. The chemical
composition of these fuels is investi-
gated and their desirability depend
ing on the presence of sulphur.
The course also covers a study of
drawing to enable the student to
readily understand drawings. The
calculating of weight From drawings
is also taken up, as is the crystaliza-
ton of metals, shrinkage and the
cause thereof. The presence of draws,
pinholes, etc, in castings is fully
discussed and the reason therefor
On the whole the course is just such
one as journeymen or apprentices
in foundries would find to be greatly
beneficial to them, for while prac-
tical perfection can only be obtained
by labora tory work and instruction
in the foundry yet a broader view
and clearer understanding of their
work can be best obtained by the
taking of such course as is given
here The instruction given by this
course, coupled with your regular
work, will make clear to you many
things which you took on faith,'' as
it were before.

rIFTEEN years ago the student
n body of the Newark Technical
School, realizing that constant
application to study left little time
for social intercourse. hit upon the
plan of organizing a society which
would bring the students closer to-
gether, giving them an opportunity
of exchanging ideas and offering an
outlet for their pent-up enthusiasm
The organization was effected in Feb
ruary. 1898, by six charter members.
and is known as the Newark Techni-
cal school Fraternity It has grown
steadily, and at the present day its
active membership numbers about
one hundred, while it's total member
ship is more than $50.
The first meetings were held at the
homes of the members. but on OBJ
tanning recognition from the school as
a factor in the moulding of the char
acter of its members. it was granted
the privilege of using one of the
rooms Of the school building for its
meetings.
Within the walls OF this room
many exciting sessions take place.
and at times. during debate on vari-
Gus questions, one would think that
the most vital problems of our eoun-
try were being fought out" on the
floors Of Congress. so vigorous are
the members in the delivery of their
arguments.

T0OL-MAKINd COURSE

Realizing the advantages which a
course in tool making would bestow
on the young men of our city. the
school in 1911 established course in
tool-making. This course extends
over two years and the aim
is not to turn out full-fedged machin-
lists or tool-makers, but merely to
permit man to advance standing. !"
as it were, in these lines of work.
The course is planned to familiarize
the student with the principles and
the construction, use. care and adj
justment of shop tools, such as lathes,
shapers, milling machines, grinding
MACHINES, drill presses and the small
tools found, in a toolroom. Accuracy
is the prime requisite in the work
done, and the course is one which es-
sentially aims to make the student
a good workman.
Having famiIiarized himself With
the various tools and become prof.
cient in the use thereof, the student is
put to work designing simple tools,
such as mandrels. reamers, cutters,
iigs and dies, while ample opportunity
Is given lot the iudhitiS VI Spuis W
spiral and worm gears. Die-maklng
and the construction of jigs, tenn
plates and other devices for eco
nomic production are carefully
studied and discussed
One of the great advantages of
the course is that the student in his
Laboratory work is not obliged to fol-
low a prescribed course. His progress
is only measured by his own ability
and desire to adyance. which is evil
denced by his love for work.
All the laboratory work is confined
to the morning, while in the after
noon instruction is given in drawing,
mathematics. metallurgy, chemistry
and physics and English, in so far as
these subjects are helpful and neces-
sary to the work in the shop.
This course has become so popular
since its institution that during the
past few weeks, on solicitation of a
number of visitors to the school, steps
were taken to organize an evening
class in toolmaking, which viii be
open only to journeymen machinists
and those who fully understand the
use and operation of machines.

1.-THE FRATECH"

In spite of their limited time. the
students at the Technical School have
organized a school paper, called the
Fratech. which, although only little
over year old. is fast developing
into a robust infant. This paper can
not of necessity essay to be of a
literary character, for in that the
students are not trained; but from
time to time there appear articles by
its graduates and student body upon
technical subjects which are helpful
in Keeping the students in touch with
the leading topics before the indus
trial world.
