C. C. ASHCROFT PRINCIPAL

Message from the Principal Before extending congratulations and b est wishes to this year's graduating students, I would like to commend the student body generally for their maintena nce of a high morale despite the d epressin g n ews rela tive to the industry that h as been app earing in the press and d espite the drop in enrolment, which we feel has been due, in no small measure, to the difficult times through which tbe industry h as b een passing. The attitude of the student body towards their opportunities here a nd their insistence on maintaining the u su a l student activities are good indications of their far-sightedness, as well as their potential abilities to work well in playing their small parts in the development of a sound Canadian textile industry in which most of us have confidence. That tJ~.e industry is seriously concerned with the supply" of t echnically trained personnel is well evidenced by their demand once again for more graduates tha n the Institute h as availa ble and by their wholeh earted participation in the campaign which is being currently conducted to a ttiÂˇact more students to the Institute. Our graduates of this year and past years can assist in this camp a ign by letting it be known that though the lot of the textile teoh~ician may be strenuous, it is far from b eing an unhappy on e but on the contrary is filled with the exhila ra tion of a real challenge. . To the graduates, cong ra tula tions on your work done h ere and best w ish es for your future. You have had lots of advice during the past three years. You will undoubtedly need and get more in the futu re. Contrary to m y u su al custom, I am refra ining from adding to it at this time. To the editors a nd staff of TEXTUS congratulation s and a thank you for what appears to be a worthy successor to preceding issues of TEXTUS. 'IIhis year's message would not be complete withou t a reference t o ou r n ew quarters. Our tha nks are due to the D epartment of Public Works of the Province of Ontario for excellent accommod a tions. After having lived in the new wing fo r a year, we can really apprecia te how badly we n eed ed the extra space. Most of ou r visitors have been agreeably surprised that we had so muoh equipment waiting for insta lla tion. Future visitors will see the few vacant spots filled with necessary equipment which ou r good friends in the industry are providing. The long t erm view of a well ba la nced textile college is rapidly unfolding.

Message from the President of the Students' Council Three years ago the doors of P.I.T. opened t o the class of '55. The halls, in places, were almost impassable with crated machinery stored there. The shops were crowded and the new addition was just a n excavation. Today the class of '55 is about to graduate. It is the first graduating class to have enjoyed the advantages of the new spacious s,b..ops a nd the valuable exp erience of erecting a nd reconditioning stored machinery . We can foresee the shops becoming crowd ed with the acquisition of more machinery, a nd, with the end of recession, larger enrolments, a dditions to the faculty, degree courses a nd eventua lly further exp ansion of the building. The S tudents' Association will n a turally progress a nd prosper with the school. In t,he years ah ead we hope to see them realize a modern students' lounge, possibly a fraternity house a nd an enlarged sports program. On beh a lf of the graduating class, I would like to thank Mr. Ashcroft a nd the faculty for their instruction, guidance and assistance, often a bove and beyond the call of duty. Their influence is greatly reflected in our technical education. Textus this year has kept with the tradition to make each years edition better tha n the previous on e. The editor a nd st aff are deserving of our h eartiest congratulations for a job well done. I would like to thank the Student Council a nd the student body for their unfailing support through the year. Although the membership was not as large as in previous years, I feel tha t everyone was behind the a ssociation. ..

To each of the graduates, I extend m y sincerest congratulations and best wishes. May success be yours in everything you attempt. ADOLF KASPEREK

FROM THE EDITOR For the seventh time Textus is bringing you what we believe is a coverage of student life at P.I.T. We hope that this edition maintains the high standard set by its predecessors. As in the past, we are bringing reports from the President of the Students' Association and from the Principal. There are the familiar reports on the Smokers, Social and Sports Activities, Mill Visits, the Staff, and most important, the students themselves. Cartoons have once again been omitted in favour of jokes and other item~.

A report complete with pictures on the New Addition, the Thesis,

and other articles on student life have been included. Once again, the graduating class is composed p redomina n tly of D yers. However, the editing staff is ~rom the Knitting D epartment and there is no distinct trend towards any one d epartment. This example was set in the last T extus and appears to be the b est. Little does one realize how much work, time, and thought goes into the production of the Textus until one attempts to do it. I must express my thanks to Mr. Ashcroft and the staff, to the secretaries, to the students and to the members of the Textus staff for their help and advice in the preparation of the Textus. To the undergraduates go my b est wishes for success at school and later in industry. To

tr...e

graduates, the best of luck wherever you may

go and in whatever you may do. R. RATCLIFF

It is only fitting that this space be taken to extend thanks to the secretaries, Mrs. J. Bramer and Miss L. Tilston, for their g reatly appreciated help in the preparation of TEXTUS. The whole school joins the staff of TEXTUS in thanking ' them for the assistance which they have given students and teachers in the past year. 11

GRADUATES PAUL BROOK- Our social convenor was born 22 year s ago down Simcoe way. After g ra duating from the Simco e High School, Paul entered P.I.T. During the winter h e would invest on a weekly show attendan ce. On Friday afternoon, his ambition wa s to beat the 5 o'clock traffic home to Simcoe. Sailing, ping-pong and cars occupy P aul's spare time. H e specialized in Woollens and Worsteds, and h e is a lso a va ila ble as Best-man at weddings. By the look in his eyes, it is well understood that Paul is to enter the matr imonia l state soon a fter gradua tion. His quie t sense of humour, and h is seriousness would m a ke P a ul an asset to the firm with whom he shall be employed. Good luck, P a ul.

ADOLF EDWARD KASPEREK-AI was born in St. Cath arines, Ontario in 1932. H e a ttended St. Kitt's High School a nd will gradua te from P .I.T. in the W eaving Division. A lthough this may be enoug h for most students, he also took extensive studies in dyeing and cotton spinning. Besides being d evoted to his school work, 'Papa' K asperek is an ardent T ee P ee's fa n a nd h as two y oung players ready to fill in their ranks. AI excels w h en it comes to a card gam e k nown as Hearts. For this past year, AI h as been Presid ent of the Students' Coun cil. His ambition in life is to re tire at 40, so a t tha t time H amilton Cotton's will lose a ver y good man. W ith all due respect, we wish him luck in the future.

N ORMAN WALTER SHOR EY- orm was born in Cornwall, Ontario and g ra duated from C.C.V.S. Before com ing t o P.I.T., Norm worked with different textile m ills in Cornwall. His h obbies a re sports, cars and g oing to th e " Moose" . Norm's main ambition is to m a ke a million dolla rs a nd buy a fire-engine r ed D eSoto. A student in the dyeing course, orm intended to m anufacture a new plaid dyestuff. After studying bonds, linkages a nd ,migr atory h ydrogen a toms, orm was disappoin ted when the dyestuff c ame out Royal Stewart instead of Black W atch . Although h e h as not determined his p la ce of employment af t er g rad uation, Norm feels h e will wind up in sales. W e feel Norm will do well in any position he tak es. Good luck, " orm.

JACQUES SAVOIE-Jack was born in the seat of French Canada, Quebec City, in S~ptember 1934. H e received his primary education in various sc hools throughout Quebec Province from Montreal to Gaspe a nd fin ally matriculated from Laval High School at St. Vincent de Paul. His extra curricular activities are badminton, tennis and ping-pong, supplemented by occasional monetary losses suffered in a friendly game of H earts. He also enjoys pla ys performed by the P layers' Guild. Jack can sometimes be s~en in th e company of members of the opposite sex, but our g uess is tha t h e returns home after the evening to do an hour or so of studies. His ambition is probably to get m arried a nd settle down in traditional French fashion. As he is a h ar d worker, he should be a n asset to his sponsor, D ominion T extile Co., upon g raduation. Best of luck, J ack.

MILL VISITS This year several very interesting and different mills were visited by the students. One day practically the whole student body left to visit mills in Galt, Hespeler a nd Preston. The only people to stay behind were the third year cotton spinners and knitters. P eace and quiet reigned in the halls of P.I.T. As has been ~he practice, various groups and classes have left the school to see the actual production in a mill. This gives the students a n excellent opportunity to compare mills. It also enables them to see and learn about machinery not available at the school. The answers to questions and information obtained about various processes will prove to be of value to the student after he graduates. We would like to say at this point that the cooperation and h eip the student body received on these visits was most kind and generous. On the whole, ' the management of mills extended a willing and h elping hand to the students. The following mills were visited.

THESIS TITLES - 1955 A. Bolliger- A study of vanous stripping methods on textile fibres especially cotton and wool.

P. Brook- A comparison of mule spun and ring spun woollen yarns.

B. Crook-Analysis and control of reduced dyebaths.

A. Kasperek- Factors which influen ce length of yarn wound on the filling pirn.

P. Landreville-A comparison of vat printing by the flash ageing and conventional process, together with a study of some properties of various thickness.

R. Ratcliff- A study of relaxation in plain knitted fabric.

J. Savoie- The effect of various blends of cotton and terylene on the streng th of the resulting yarn.

N. Shorey- Preparation and Dyeing Properties of some insoluble a zm e d erivatives of anth raquinone.

THE THESIS The thesis is the pride, the joy and the summation of the semor undergraduate's work. Textus '55 is following tr..e example of Textus '54 by bringing you a brief summary of the 1954 theses. This summary must necessarily-be brief, as the individual thesis contains material which we, due to lack of space, could not reproduce in d etail. Last y~ar's graduating class was predominantly chemists, with the result that most work was carried out in that field. The dyers' theses will be dealt with first, though much interesting work was carried on in other fields. Two th-eses directly involving dyeing processes were made. One showed that in dyeing wool/ viscose blends by the one-bath method, attention must be given to dyes a nd dyeing temperature. The other concerned the effect of shrinkproofing on certain dyestuffs and showed that certain dyestuffs were affected by the process. Another chemist made a study of the effects of 1ron on textile processing. Although no n ew informatio.n was found, it proved to be a. good and useful subject for study. An attempt was made to d etermine the effect of different classes of dyes on the degradation of nylon w.P..en exposed to sunlight. This was done by m easuring the fluidity of the nylon in meta-cresol. The information .9btained was interesting but longer exposure was necessary for conclusive results. An investigation of the possibility of improving the wash a nd crock fastness of indigo dyed yarns for denim was made. Although the problem remains unsolved, some very interesting work was accomplished. High-tenacity viscose rayon can be dyed only comparatively weak shades and an attempt to overcome this provided the subject of another t.P..esis. By use of so-called "swelling agents" and "carriers", some useful results were obtained. A thesis, involving a great deal of work, was made on fibre identification. In this instance, the somewhat unusual technique of using polarized light was included and several very good coloured photographs were made. 24

THE THESIS (continued) To summarize the thesis "D ye F ading with R elation to Molecular Orientation" would be out of pla ce a s much is still to be done on this subj ect. This work involved the d evizing of an ingenious light integrator a nd the perusa l of much learned and ad van ced technical litera ture. In the cotton D epartment, a n investigation of the relationship between twist in single and plied yarns to the strength, work of rupture and elongation of 2j 16's carded cotton yarns was m ad e. It was found that plied yarns did not fully utilize the st rength of the singles yarn within the range of practical single and ply twist . The optimum equivalent single-ply twist-multiplier for the cotton tested was found to be about 4.40, but even this utilized only 92% of the potential strength of the single yarn. The r elationship of tear-resistan ce of a woven v1scose fabric, its density and yarn twist was the topic of a thesis in the W eaving Department. The following conclusions were arrived at: ( 1) An increase in average length of float. ( 2) A reduction in fabric cover factor. ( 3) A red_u ction in yarn to yarn co-efficient of friction. ( 4) An increase in yarn tensile strength. ( 5) A crimp balance. All improve the tear strength. In the Woollen and Worsted Department, the Ph otovolt Reflectance Meter was used as a means of assessing the regularity of blending in worsted d rawing. A grey worsted blend, processed by several m ethods, was evalua ted by the above method in the yarn state in knitted fabric. The results obtained were used by Mr. Hodgson in his talk at th e Textile Seminar last September.

Here and There You have seen pictu res of the activities about the sq!--ool. There are also pictures taken at the Open House when the textile technologists of P .I.T. exp lained to the many visitors various textile processes. The whole school was a bee-hive of activity as the dyers demonstrated their chemical wonders and baffled the common person with formulae. The manufacturers demonstrated their various skills, t.he spinning of perfect yarns, and the electronic testing of those yarns. The end use of the yarn was aptly handled by the knitting and weaving d epartments. where socks, sweaters and yard goods were made before the interested and wondering eye of the on-looker. The public saw the spacious new a ddition, so at this point we will take the opportunity to outline the influence of the n ew addition on the various departments.

The Woollen a nd Worsted Department In a room of its own, the woollen card started the processing of the first Canadian Terylene. Upstairs the other equipment stands in spacious. quarters. Added to this equipment is a n ew electronic unevenness tester a nd the mule, as shown in the pictures, is finally running and at present is. being used in thesis work. The unevenness t ester is b eing put to wide use in a iding the woollen and worsted spinners in their never ending effort tospin perfect yarn.

Weaving Department This department obtained a n ew loom and still has plenty of space to spare. In their new quarters the weavers h ave done much designing. Along these lines, AI Kasperek entered a contest for drapery design . AI used yarn spun and dyed in the school for his entry and we wish him the best of luck for success. Vve must state that the weavers have put to good use their extra space for yarn storage and have done much work along practical lines. in desig ning. 26

Here and There (continued) The Cotton Department The cotton department was the least affected by the new addition. However, they continue to produce high quality yarns. They have spun 90s cotton yarn and just failed due to mechanical difficulties to spin lOOs cotton count. They have also processed 100 ~o Terylene as well as several blends. Their ideas along blending lines have been interesting and the results of their experiments have b een used by the knitters to produce fine fabrics for sweaters and socks.

Knitting Department Long was the complaint that tf...e knitters had little room to work in. However, when they moved into the n ew addition, they were confused by the large amount of space. T,P..ey actu a lly could work on a machine without standing on or moving another. They are at present hoping to add to their machinery. The boys have been experimenting m the production of garments and at one time went into the mass production of pure terylene socks. TiP..e knitters proudly point out that these socks are now being subjected b y the student body to wear tests. Rumour has it that several very stylish ladies' sweaters have been produced . Favourable comments and requests for these sweaters have reached the knitters.

Dyeing and Finishing Department This d epartment also ben efitted from the extra space obtained in the new extension. At the time of writing not all their n ew machinery h as arrived but that which h as, has been set up and used . The dyers have done a lot of full-scale dyeing operations. They have dyed yarn for the weavers, fab!Âˇic for the knitters and T erylene socks for the ben efit of th e Knitting and Woollen and Worsted departments. They have not only aided other d epartments but ,have got a taste of full-scale dyeing operations. On the whole the dyers have benefitted by space and the a bility to use their equipmnt to the best advantage.

Social Activities The initiations again started the social curriculum of the school. This. year they were curtailed to refreshments in the n ew common room, where students and teachers gathered . After the refreshments a ball game was played and the whole school p a rticipated. The captains and pitchers were "Hit them all" (the students that is ) Leishman, and another notable softballer " Give the boys a break" (a broken arm or leg ) Pomfret. The umpires were quite impartial this year (note 3rd year and grads of '54 ) . The team of "Hit them all" L eishman won quite ,handily by a score of 10-5 due to some very h eavy hitting by a certain Northern Ontario boy_ Bridge has taken over the interest of the majority of students this. year. A night every second week is set aside with bridge being played at different student's resid en ces. Skating is quite popular with the students also and a party was made up for every Friday night while there was ice at Coronation Park. An open house was held t.h.is year and was a huge su ccess. The addition to the building provided more room for demonstrations and display purposes. The visitors were very interested in learning about textile processes and were ably conducted through the exhibits by the instructors and students of the various departments. When the Open House was held this year, it was thought to be an ideal time to hold a dance. It was a well planned affair at the Rainbow Room. It produced many comical sayings often uttered around the sc.P..ool corridors such as "H ere's five keep the change" or "Who are you looking at Leo?" or "Married four years eh, Don" and last but not least "If he is wet behind the ears it is just shaving cream that h e forgot to wipe off". As this dance was such a huge success another is being p lanned as Textus goes to press. A week-end toboggan party was held at Bob Dods in Orangeville. Many thrills, spills and unmentionable sore parts were the result of it. Ron Hanson and Lindsay Liddle flying through the air at a 70â&#x20AC;˘ angle had the greatest thrill and the worst scare. I heard prayers uttered, I think ... A gathering once a month for the smokers of the different departments where lecturers pour forth their knowledge, which is gobbled up by those attending. Finally the crooning of the graduates at the annual graduation banquet and dance held at the Royal Connaught. I say this now, even though the course is not completed because this year's graduating class are all hard working students and will prove an asset to the industry and I know that they will all succeed in their hopes as well as their 3rd year.

'54 -'55 Sports Hi-Lights The students' new common room, in the new wmg, added quite a spark to this season's sports activities about P .I. T., especially in giving the ping-pong artists that extra nine foot reach, when handing out th')se fancy serves. While such students as Bill Wilton and L eo Lavigne, would be energetically smashing a little white sph ere back a nd forth across a ping-pong net, a foursome, compos<:>d of J erry Travers, Bob Dods, Art (Bucky) Buckland, and Don " the Duke" Âˇwalsh , would be quietly grouped a round their ta ble, p laying out their h a nds at Bridge. At another table, h owever, we had a very active crew of H eart players, comprised of Joseph Pierre P a u l Robert Landreville, Al K asperek, Roger Ratcliff and Jacques (Kid ) Savoie. One watching these cool a nd calcula ting "h eart sp ecialists" would have thought them to be experts, just back from Las V egas. The bala nce oÂŁ the P.I.T. sports calenda r consisted of softball, badminton, football and basketball being played by the students of the school. Once again P .I.T. has entered a basketball team to represent t,he school in competition play. The team, composed of p laying coach Don Walsh, Art Buckland, Lindsay Liddle, Bernard Crook, Leo Lavigne, Bob Dods, and Arn Bolliger, are in the Hamilton Metro Basketball League. Although short of skilled man power, compared to last season's team, desire, fight a nd spirit has certainly shown that this year's team can go out and w1n. Looking back over this past 54-55 season, we would like to say thanks - to all those, who "sportingly" helped to make this another successful year in the sports circle of the school. Athletic Chairma n, ARNOLD BOLLIGER

SMOKERS As in the last T extus, we are doing a summary of the smokers which were h eld, as usual, in the library at P .I.T. The smokers gave the students a nd graduates an opportunity to learn something about t.!c.ings not entirely <:overed in the course of study. The topics were widely varied and on the w hole a good group of ta lks were given.

Dyers' and Finishers' SmokerT h e D yers' Smoker was h eld on Thursday, October 28th, 1954. Tr..e g uest speaker was Dr. P . T. Standring of I.C.I. Terylene Division. Dr. S ta ndring gave us the history of terylene or dacron, as it is known in the U.S.A., since it was discovered in 1941. He gave a brief a nd clear description of the properties of this fibre and towards the end of the talk t h e speaker went into the dyeing properties of dacron in d etail fo r the benefit of the dyers. A number of former students and mill-men were present ~t thi~ .meeting. Those present put forward questions which were answered in detail. After this most informative talk, the m eeting was adjourned, and everyone enjoyed the refreshments.

The Woollen and Worsted SmokerMr. G. Barnet of the Ontario R esearch Foundation spoke on Q u a lity Control on November 25th, 1954. H e stated that we must aim at the right quality and see which properties to check and control. He emphasized the fact that a ll test mea surements are variable and that this variation .must be taken into consideration when t esting. The g raduates and third year students had several interesting qu estions answered for them by Mr. Barnet. On the whole a n informative evening was en joyed by a ll.

The Knitters' SmokerMr. E. C luney, Assistant Canadian Director of the T extile Workers' Union of America gave a t alk on F ebruary 3rd, 1955. H e sta ted th a t tP..e T extile industry in Canada suffered a depression due to the rising economy i n 1949. The industry was prompted again in 1950 by th e wa r in K o rea. The speaker went on, to sa y tha t the basic thing wrong with the Textile industry today is "fear". H e said tha t the Union a ttempted to bring pressu re on t he Dominion Government to h elp the Canadia n T extile indu stry, but without a ny fruitful outcome. Mr. C luney emphasized tha t it was up to u s as. t extile .students to m ake this indust ry so good tha t no one should be a ble to compete with it. Mr. Cluney a nswered numerous questions in detail for those present. 33

Smokers (continued) The Cotton SmokerThe Cotton smoker was held on February 17th. Before the

talk~

cheques were presented to A. Kasperek and R. Dods-the second instalment of scholarships which they had won. The guest speaker was Mr. Robinson, sales manager, Canadian Lastex Company. H e first showed a film which showed the production of lastex yarn from the raw material to the finished product, also the end uses of the yarn. Mr. Robinson then gave his views on the uses of this extensible yarn.. H e said, "There is a lastex yarn to do the job no matter what it may be." The audience asked several questions about the handling of the yarn whic.h were answered to their satisfaction.

Weavers' SmokerOn April 14, 1955, the Weavers' Smoker was held. Though the ram was coming down by the bucket, there was a good turn out. The speakers for tr.e smoker were Mr. W. Landry, a graduate of P.I.T., Mr. G. RusselL and Mr. H. Wallwork, all of Hamilton Cottons. These gentlemen combined to give a talk on Customer Complaints and Incentive Wages. They pointed out that there must be a m ethod of processing customer ÂˇComplaints and gave an outline of their company's m ethod. Mr. RusseU gave a good clear description of the steps taken to set up an incentive wage system in a weave shed. He also pointed out pitfalls that had tO' be watch ed for when setting up such a wage scheme. The talk was enjoyed by all and numerous questions and points were forwarded by those in attendance.

we check weave and content!

Whenever we advertise "broadcloth" we specify the basic material content, e.g.: "Cotton Broadcloth", "Silk Broadcloth", "Wool Broadcloth". We use the word only to describe a closely woven fabric of a certain type-for example, we insist that a cotton fabric, to qualify as broadcloth, must have no less than 100 x 60 threads per inch!
