The California Imtitate of Teehnology hat attained a potition of authority and renown. in the United State; and in the world. Thi: i5 chiefly became of the men amoeiatea' with it and became of the devel- opment; tontrihating to progreu maa'e antler it; gaia'anee. In the eye; of the world, the aetioitiet of the ttadents of Cal Tech are of 161567 importance than the unique development: in program there. H oweoer, the .rtaa'entr and their aetioitie; eontrihate a vital part to the life and hittory of thi; Jeientijie imtitation. The year hooh i5 pahliyhea' each year hy the .rttta'eats to record that phaxe of the history of Cal Tech. In the pablieation for the year of nineteen hundred and thirty-foar no attempt ha; heea made to reeota' that part of the life in the Insti- tute that i: zmohjeroed hy the Jtadeatt. That part of the Identifie development that ha; been of Jtttttent intereyt anti thoye men who have contributed to it or to other phajex of development have been included with the record; of the doing; of the Jtaa'ents hoth a5 a group and a5 individaab. THE hittory here recorded of the Imtitate for the year of 1933-1934 is aeeeuarily the record of the hijtory as it has heen ohxeroea' by a, group of Itaa'entt-thote who have aided in preparing for pahliea- tioa thij year 170012.

D. Alcocw THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY HAS NOW ACHIEVED IN THE WORLD A POSITION OF WIDE RESPECT. THE development as an institution of research and technical education was started by DR. GEORGE ELLERY HALE, and its present achievements are the fulfillment of his dreams and efforts and were made possible by the generosity of ARTHUR H. FLEMING. MR. FLEMING, a lumberman, had come to California to make his home and had become interested in Throop College. He was Canadian born, had moved to Detroit and studied law, but turned to the West, where he made his fortune from lumber. And when, in the course of building Cal Tech, it became evident that it was handicapped by the lack of funds, MR. FLEMING gave to the school his entire fortune of over five imillion dollars, asking nothing save that he receive a yearly income. He has continued to serve as a trustee and was this year by the Board of Trustees voted the honor of Presi- dent Emeritus of the Institute. The administration of the Institute is headed by DR. ROBERT MILLIKAN, president of the Executive Council, which is unique among administra- tive bodies, being composed of men each one of whom has gained promi- nence in his field and two of whom are recipients of Nobel Prizes. Also of interest is the calling by PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT for members of the Ad- visory Council and for DR. MILLIKAN to serve upon a scientific advisory committee for the new administra- tion. A project of lasting importance directed by the Institute is the com- mencement of work in the Optics Building preparatory to grinding the ZOO-inch telescope, which is being constructed in co-operation with the National Council for Advancement of Education. Quite removed from the labora- tories have been the two series of lectures which the administration has sponsored this year. Presenting phases of the relation of modern scientific advances to present day life and to current economic conditions, from the Athenaeum a series of addresses were nationally broadcast. The other series was given at El Rodeo High School to raise funds for scholarships. 11 ADMINISTRA- TION Arthur H . Fleming, Presidem-Emeritus FACULTY THE MEMBERS OF THE FAC- Dr. T. H. Morgan ULTY OF THE INSTITUTE HAVE BEEN THE RECIPIENTS OF MANY HIGH HONORS. THIS year the honor of Nobel Lau- reate was bestowed upon DR. MOR- GAN. Other faculty members have received lesser honors. Some have worked upon interesting problems. Many have simply carried on their regular work, but from among all of the groups there are some Who have contributed to Tech history during the year. Comments upon sev- eral of the men are given. The ab- sence from the staff of DR. WILLIAM MORRIS DAVIS, geologist, and DR. EDWIN H. KURTH, physicist, is noted With regret. DR. THOMAS HUNT MORGAN, the latest Nobel Laureate in Physiology and Medicine, does not like to be called a llmechanist, because he be- lieves the word to be ill defined. However, he has always been a sup- porter of the view that physical phenomena can be explained purely on a physical basis. To DR. MORGAN this hypothesis is highly important, because he has worked in two fields, those of genetics and experimental embryology, Where not particularly well disguised mystical fancies have now and again obtained considerable credit. By the examination and analy- sis of millions of Drosophilaea fruit fly said to have been created by God 12 solely as the means of genetical re- searcheDR. MORGAN and his stu- dents have so overwhelmed with facts the armchair biologists that they have fled the field of heredity forever. The same victory has unfor- tunately not yet become complete in some of the other biological sciences, but DR. MORGAN once, perhaps face- tiously, remarked that the boldest of those who hold the theory that the phenomena of life admit of the same kind of analysis as those of the inor- ganic world uclaim that in time they hope to bring Within reach of their methods a study of the lucubrations, hallucinations, and obsessions of the human mind which, masquerading under the illumination of introspec- tive metaphysics and transcendental philosophy, pretend to solve all the riddles of the universe. HAD not DR. LINUs PAULING a sense of humor, he would be annoy- ed by the frequent references to his youth. Just nine years after his graduation from college he was made a full professor of physical chem- istry at the Institute, and in the same year he won the famous Langmuir prize for the most distinguished work by a young scientist. When he was elected to be the youngest member of the National Academy of Sciences, he disclaimed all credit by saying the honor was due to his good looks. By mathematical interpretations of Laue photographs and by the use of wave mechanics DR. PAULING has obtained the material for an astonish- ing number of papers on crystal structure, the size of ions, and the nature of the chemical bond. These papers, which are important contri- butions to modern chemistry, are sometimes rather polemical, and DR. PAULING enjoys demolishing a con- clusion which would be wrong even if its premise were correct, which it is not. PROFESSOR FRANKLIN T HOMAS did not abandon his practical and public work when he became head of the Division of- Civil and Mechanical Engineering, for he has been a mem- ber of the Board of Directors of Pasadena, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and president of the Community Chest. As the climax of his efforts to obtain water and power for Southern California he is now Pasadenais representative on the board of the Metropolitan Water District. As chairman of the Student Rela- tions Committee of the faculty, PROFESSOR THOMAS has helped to improve conditions on the campus, and this spring he became head of the committee of faculty members, 13 FACULTY Lima Pauling FACULTY Russell Porter and ?r. 102m A. Anderson students, and alumni which has en- couraged student participation in extra-cutricular activities. EACH of RUSSELL PORTER,S explora- tions has reached farther than the last into cold and silent space. His first journey was into the Arctic with COOK on an expedition Which igno- miniously became lost, but his later voyages with PEARY and ZIEGLER, on Which he served as artist, astrono- mer, and topographer, penetrated the polar regions. During the two years he was marooned with ZIEGLER in the Arctic the observation of the stars became his passion. That astro- nomical enthusiasm continued after his return, for PORTER then began to build his own refiecting telescopes. He became so proficient in their con- 14 struction that the Institutes observa- tory council sought him in his uStella Faneii-his mountain temple to the stars-for his advice on the two- hundred inch telescope. Now, as an expert machinist and Optician, he is in charge of the Astrophysics Shop, Where the giant instrument is being built. PROFESSOR JOHN A. ANDERSON dis- likes publicity, and although he has been working on one of the most widely publicised scientific projects of the past few years, the 200-inch telescope, he declines to tell any more of himself than can be found in uXths Who. As Dean of Freshmen, DR. JOHN R. MACARTHUR helps, at one time or another, almost every undergraduate on the campus, and although freshe men resent having anything done for their own good, in their maturer years they usually appreciate the assistance. After his own undergraduate days at the University of Manitoba DR. MACARTHUR taught English Literature and Languages at several schools, and he was for a time a social worker on Ellis Island. When he came to the Institute as. the third member of the Humanities Division he organized the campus chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, the hon- orary debating fraternity of which he was once national president. De- spite the cares for his freshmen and the prospective Ph.D. candidates to whom he teaches German and French, DR. MACARTHUR has a rare deans gaiety and a highly refined satirical wit. DEAN FREDERIC HINRICHS, 111., served in the army after his gradua- tion from West Point until he retired to accept a teaching position at the University of Rochester. When he had finished his war services in the Ordinance Department, he came to the Institute as assistant professor of mechanical engineering. He was soon made full professor and dean of upper classmen, and he intends to hold those positions as long as both he and the students benefit from their mutual association. DEAN HIN- RJCHS has earned the sincere regard of those who meet him either as teacher, dean, or helpful chairman of the Student Aid Committee. 15 FACULTY Dean Macartbur Dean Him'iclax FACULTY gt, :3 Dr. lady and D13 RObEW Millikan 1 ! g; 5' PROFESSOR C. K. JUDY came to the Institute as its only teacher of English in 1909 when Tech engineers were still rough and ready and not much else. Since then there has grown un- der his direction the present excellent Humanities Division, which has the sometimes difficult task of broaden- ing and civilizing in only four years the often uncouth freshmen. PRO- FESSOR JUDY believes that taste can be improved by education, and this he attempts by making no compro- mise With vulgarity and by stirring in his students some of his own en- thusiasm for good literature and sound thought. BECAUSE the nineteenth century spirit of materialism maneuvered science into an untenable position, physics has been for the last few years in active retreat from its previous philo- 16 sophical beliefs which involved strict determinism and complete exclusion of religion. DR. R. A. MILLIKAN is the leader of many physicists who have used the uncertainties of mod- ern physics to oppose this narrow agnosticism of the past. His position is that since science can deal only with the material--and that none too successfullyeit has no right to de- liver dicta on subjects beyond the reach of its method. Deterrninisrn is dead, says DR. MILLIKAN, and its death clears the way toward the founding of beliefs which will not subordinate the spiritual side of man to sterile and hopeless materialism. WHEN PROFESSOR ROYAL SORENSON assumed direction of the Electrical Engineering Department in 1910 he intended to remain at the Institute for only five years, but he has stayed ever since, because as he says, there have always been important problems here to be solved. In addition to his teaching and the solution of such problems as the design of a trans- former set to deliver a current at a million volts for a long period of time, and the development of a sys- tem to protect oil tanks from light- ning, he has been consulting engineer for numerous organizations including the Metropolitan Water District. PROFESSOR SORENSON personally solicited the money to hire Techs first football coach, and he has long been chairman of the physical educa- tion committee. Recently he was in- strumental in bringing the student CWA t0 the campus, and he has di- rected the work of helping impecu- nious students. T HE history lectures of DOCTOR WILLIAM BENNETT MUNRO, espe- cially when the lecturer digresses from his announced subject, always hold his students' interest. PRO- FESSOR MUNRO likes to allow his hearers to form a hackneyed and unsound opinion and then to demol- ish it with all his witty learning and experience. His humor is some- times slightly satirical, and his store of anecdotes is immense. DR. MUNRO knows history thoroughly for he has written several authoritative texts and was head of the Harvard history school before coming to Tech. His experience has been broad. Besides being a major in the army during the war, DR. MUNRO has been chairman of the municipal affairs committee of the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce and the chairman of the board of a large bank. PROFESSOR ARTHUR A. NOYEs, direc- tor of the Gates Laboratory of Chem- istry, has gained another title of distinctioneiiThe King . It is a very private title, entirely unknown to the public and never used by the students. It was bestowed upon him out of re- spect by his fellow professors here and at M. I. T. In history book fash- ion DR. NOYES has also been given the title of father of Americas phys- ical chemistryn because of his sixteen years as director of the Research Lab- 17 FACULTY Dr. William B. Munro FACULTY oratory of Physical Chemistry at Dr. Wcmon and Dr. A. A. Noye: Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy. DR. NOYES is one of the honor students who has umade good . When he was kept out by lack of funds he completed the freshman work of M. I. T. at home and entered the sophomore class the next year with honor standing. IN THE picture PROFESSOR WATSON is talking seriously with DR. NOYES. PROFESSOR WATSON has used large quantities of liquid air to spread the fame of the Institute. His demonstra- tion lectures have caused many stu- dents to become interested in Tech. During the war, he was a research physicist with the navy, assisting with problems of submarine detec- tion. 18 ASSISTANT PROFESSOR CLARK B. MILLIKAN, who worked with DR. KLEIN on designing the wind tunnel, was this year elected as one of the Advisory Committee for the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences when he at- tended the annual meeting held in New York. IRVING P. KRICK deserted a career as a musician to become a meteorologist, and this year, while organizing a de- partment here, gained Widespread recognition for his work in forecast- ing by the method of airvmass analy- sis. Married and working while at- tending school, KRICK has gained his training by much effort. WHEN the Guggenheim Laboratory of Aeronautics was erected in 1928, PROFESSOR VON KARMAN came from Germany to direct the work here and at the Guggenheim Airship Institute at Akron, Ohio, which is also a part of Tech's facilities. He was With the Austro-Hungarian air forces during the World War. ASSISTANT PROFESSOR KLEIN, with a bachelor's degree in mechanical en- gineering and a doctor's degree in physics helped design the aeronautics laboratory and some of the fellows say that it is partly because of his ad- visory positions with the Douglas and Northrup aircraft companies that he can afford to drive a big; blue Pack- ard roadster. UNDER the direction of PROFESSOR JOHN P. BUWALDA the Division of Geology has grown in nine years to be the equal of that of any Ameri- can university. DR. BUWALDA first became interested in the earth's crust when as a boy he grew familiar with the Columbia lava fiow; and because he believed that a man's vocation should accord With his natural pref- erences, he was drawn into geology by his love of the sports and outdoor life, from which he still derives much pleasure. For many years DR. BU- WALDA has been concerned with the problems of the structural geology of California, particularly in their relation to earthquakes, and he has made many investigations by foot, motor, and plane of the states great fault blocks. As a member of the United States Geological Survey he has assisted in an accurate triangula- tion of California to obtain informa- tion about earth movements. As an expert for the National Park Service, he has helped to improve Yosemite. FACULTY DH. Clark Millikan, K ride, V072 K417725171, and Klein Dr. Buwalda FACULTY William Beard Dr. Carl D. Andaman ta: . WILLIAM BEARD, the only member of the Humanities Division who holds an engineering degree, believes that the application of technical knowledge demands a thorough study of sdcial conditions and an accurate prediction of future trends. His in- vestigations and teaching are accord- ingly in the important field connect- ing technology with economics and government, and he encourages scien- tists and engineers to plan their work to produce the greatest social value. MR. BEARDS hobbies are short-wave radios, fiying, and deep-sea diving. His great contribution to human com- fort, however, is ttWillie the Robot, who is the one banquet chairman who can be silenced at will. 20 DR. CARL ANDERSON, assistant pro- fessor of physics, obtained the first evidence of the actual existence of the positron. This entity, which is equal in mass to an electron but is of opposite charge, had been con- sidered a mathematical flction until one of DR. ANDERSONE many photo- graphic plates showed a thin streak curving in an unexpected direction. The streak was the photograph of a train of water drops in a cloud cham- ber which resulted from the ioniza- tion of gas by cosmic rays in a strong magnetic held. DR. ANDERSON, who was graduated from the Institute in 1927, by additional experiments has conflrmed the existence of the par- ticle - accepted now among the building stones of matter. CAL TECH WAS FORTUNATE TO MAKE THE ACQUAINT- ANCE OF PROFESSOR STEINER OF GRINNELL COLLEGE THIS YEAR. PROFESSOR STEINER is a noted edu- cator, philosopher, author, and lec- turer. His work has consisted mainly in teaching and in writing. He has written many books concerning the immigration problem in the United States. PROFESSOR STEINER came to our campus this year due to the efforts of CHUCK SCHWIESO and DR. SOARES, who thought the contact afforded the men would prove valu- able. While here he gave two inter- esting assembly talks, two Atheneum lectures, and several Sunday break- '3 'x i? 93 fast club talks. He also visited several colleges nearby and gave talks to their students. DR. BEARD'S visit to the campus was more brief than usual, but was nevertheless valuable to the associates of the Institute. DR. BEARD is a noted authority on government and has written many books on the subject. His most recent work is iiThe Rise of American Civilization, which was written in co-operation with his wife. DR. BEARD while here gave four very interesting Atheneum lectures on the general subject of What Is National Interest? ' Another visitor to the campus this year who received considerable atten- tion was SENATOR GUGLIEMO MAR- CONI, who, with his wife, visited the campus for one day during his first trip to Southern California. 21 VISITING PROFESSORS P1r'0fe5501' Steiner Marconi and his wife PART II Dr. T. H. ngzm, Nobel Laureate H5mry EsteU RESEARCH WORK CARRIED ON DURIN G THE YEAR HAS MADE SCIENTIFIC HISTORY. PHYSICS RESEARCH in physics has been in six fields and four specialized problems. Financed by the cosmic ray fund, a great deal of research has been done recently on these interesting radia- tions and kindred phenomena. The most recent results were ob- tained during the Settle balloon ascension and during a two and one- half monthsi voyage Which led inves- tigators to South America. Additional data have been obtained through sev- eral high altitude airplane flights in the mountains of South America. This interesting and important re- search has been under the direction of DOCTORS ROBERT A. MILLIKAN, IRA S. BOWEN, CARL D. ANDERSON, and HENRY V. NEHER, aided by DR. FRITZ ZWICKY 0n the theoretical aspects. LOW TEMPERATURES MUCH experimental work has been done by DR. ALEXANDER GOETZ in the investigation of properties of met- als and crystals at extremely low tem- peratures. In the cryogenic labora- tory liquid helium has been obtained and temperatures as low as two de- grees absolute produced. Using this. extensive liquefying equipment, in- vestigation has been started on metal crystals and super-conductivity at low temperatures. X-RAY DR. JESSE DUMOND has been in charge of a group of x-ray problems being investigated. His work during the past year has been largely that of designing a new thirty-kilowatt x-ray tube which will be used for pure re- search only. The two most impor- tant features which distinguish this tube are the intensity of x-rays pro- duced and the revolving 0f the target or anode. The purpose of the tube is to provide a large quantity of rays in order to determine certain proper- ties of matter which are too faint for measurement in the rays of weaker tubes. y SPECTROSCOPIC PROBLEMS A NUMBER of effects have been studied recently by spectroscopic means. DR. IRA S. BOWEN has been studying the x-rays of longer wave lengths. DR. WILLIAM R. SMYTHE has used the mass spectograph in the separation of the isotoPes of several elements, particular work being done on the separation of the radio active isotope of potassium. 23 RESEARCH Dm. DuMomi, Goetz, Langer RESEARCH Dr. Seeley G. Mudd Professor Pompenkoe The important ratio of electric charge permass of electrons tEyMy has been determined independently by two methods. DR. WILLIAM V. HOUSTON, working both theoretically and experimentally, has determined this ratio by spectroscopic means, and DR. FRANK G. DUNNINGTON has made a very accurate determina- tion by high-frequency methods. SHORT WAVES FOR MANY years PROFESSOR GEN- NADYW. POTAPENKOE has been work- ing with ultra short radio waves. He has built equipment producing pure monochromatic waves With good sta- bility. Much research has been done in the behavior of iron, nickel, and cobalt in the high-frequency electro- magnetic fleld. Along with the metallic research absorption and dis- persion of ultra short waves, the di- electrics have been studied. To study these phenomena, a more precise measuring apparatus was needed. Completed this year, it was found to be accurate to one micron in measur- ing wave lengths. X-RAY TREATMENT OF CANCER THE treatment of cancer With the mil- 24 lion-volt x-ray tube is very closely connected with the work and prog- ress of the physics department. DOC- TORS SEELEY G. MUDD and CLYDE K. EMERY have been in charge of this work studying the physiological effects of the powerful x-ray. The million-volt x-ray tube, built by HOR- ACE R. CRANE and CHARLES C. LAU- RITSEN, and operated by them, has been used With very valuable results. Several patients have been under daily treatment by the rays of the giant tube. Work in this fleld is as yet only started NUCLEAR PHYSICS DEVELOPMENTS in the field of nu- clear physics have been extremely rapid during the past year. Under the direction of DOCTORS CHARLES C. LAURITSEN, CARL D. ANDERSON, and SETH H. NIEDDERMEYER and HORACE R. CRANE, neutrons, posi- trons and deutons have been pro- duced and the effects of their bom- bardment on common substance studied. Atomic bullets, heavy hydro- gen particles made from the so-called uheavy water, have been used as a means of creating new radio-active substances, bringing about a marked advance in the scientific held by the introduction for the first time of a purely artificial technique and ma- terial. By bombarding, various light- er elements have been changed into heavier elements with strong radio- active properties. This radio-active energy is given OH in the form of the newly discovered positrons, or posi- tive electrons, and gamma rays. Carbon, under bombardment, changed to radiO-active nitrogen, and boron was changed to carbon. The positrons ejected by these newly cre- ated elements are being studied by DR. CARL D. ANDERSON, their dis- coverer. CHEMISTRY THE research work of the chemistry department has been of unusual in- terest this past year. Not greatly spectacular, it is of a sort which must go on over a period of years. Strangely enough, one of the most important pieces of chemical research has been carried in the astro-physics building. This has been the electron diffraction research under the direc- tion or DR. LAWRENCE O. BROCK- WAY. For some time x-rays have been used in the study of crystal struc- tures, and now the molecular struc- ture of gases may be determined by the use of electrons to replace the x-rays. DR. ARNOLD O. BECKMAN and his assistants have been working with a magneto-optic apparatus in an at- tempt to discover the fundamental phenomenon involved. Very short waves have been investigated by DR. BECKMAN as a possible reason for its operation. Fluorine, the strongest chemical oxidizing agent, has been the subject of research by DR. DON M. YOST. Special technique and apparatus were developed by him. 25 RESEARCH Dr. Lauritxen zmd Richard Crane McCullough and Dr. Beckmzm RESEARCH The 5 01M Fumace Gw'nding Machine for 120-13261: Mirror PETROLEUM RESEARCH FOR SEVERAL years the American Petroleum Institute has been sup- porting a research project at Califor- nia Institute to study the behavior of hydrocarbons, such as are found in petroleum and natural gas, under conditions comparable to those found in the underground petroleum pools. This involves experimental studies at temperatures up to 220 degrees Fah- renheit and at pressures as high as 3000 pounds per square inch. The field being explored is one in Which relatively little work has been done, although it is of great interest to the petroleum industry. Ten published papers have resulted from these researches to date and others are continually in course of preparation. This important piece of work is under the direction of DOCTOR WILLIAM N. LACEY and BRUCE H. SAGE. 420 INC'H GKINDLufG EVJIVPOLIJHlNG MACHINE Awe be A The newly constructed solar fur- nace has been used thus far entirely by research workers in the chemistry department under the direction of 26 DR. R. G. DICKINSON. Temperatures of 3000 degrees centigrade have al- ready been obtained, and the workers expect to reach 4600 degrees when the apparatus is in perfect adjust- ment. Severe burns in unexpected places have resulted from the light from a poorly adjusted lense. BIOLOGY RESEARCH in the biology department is necessarily of the slow, unspec- tacular type, extending over a period of years, and never completed. The problems of genetics in flies first attracted the attention of DR. T HOMAS H. MORGAN about twenty years ago, and are still in progress under the direction of DOCTORS MOR- GAN and ALFRED H. STURTEVANT. They have been assisted in the lab- oratory by two Carnegie Founda- tion scholars, DOCTORS BRIDGES and SCHULTZ. Also in the field of genetics, corn has been used as the experimental subject by DR. ERNEST G. ANDERSON, most of the work being done on a farm at Arcadia. DOCTORS MORGAN and ALBERT TYLER have carried on considerable work in embryology at the Institute marine station, with the lower forms of marine animals. Energy relationships of chemical changes in organisms have been the subject of investigation of DR. HENRY BORSOOK in the field of bio- chemistry. DR. ROBERT EMERSON, in bio-physics, has been studying the reactions of photosynthesisesunlight on green plants. A kindred subject has been chosen by DR. FRITS WENT, in the method of growth of plants. WILLIAM BERGREN, tall leader of the orchestra, worked hrst this year with anaesthetics, later with vitamins and with oxidation-reduction systems. ASTRO-PHYSICS WORK in the department of astro- physics has centered around the con- struction of the 200-inch telescope. Machinery has been built to grind the 120-inch mirror, recently received from the East. This is to be ground to a perfectly plane surface and sil- vered for use in testing the larger mirror When it has been ground to the proper parabolic form. 27 RESEARCH Dr. Franklin Thoma; William Bergren RESEARCH Dr. Ramome Dr. Martel! E. L. Furlong Also, under the direction of DR. JOHN A. ANDERSON, parts of the mounting for the ZOO-inch mirror have been made in the astro-physics machine shop. A new process has been devised in which aluminum replaces silver as the coating for the large mirrors, with greatly improved reflecting effi- ciency. CIVIL ENGINEERS THE civil engineers, under the di- rection of FRANKLIN THOMAS, have carried on much vety valuable re- search during the past year. Espe- cially timely has been the work done on earthquake-proof structures. DR. ROMEO R. MARTELL, working in co- operation with the geology depart- 28 Dr. Ramome 2': an economic geolo- gixt and E. L. Furlong 2'5 cumtor 0f paleontology. ment, has studied the motion of earthquakes and their effects on vari- ous structures. Methods of construc- tion have been devised to render buildings less susceptible to earth movements. GEOLOGY IN GEOLOGY, work has been done on various Mexican copper ores by MR. VINCENT KELLEY, and a study of former gold-producing territory by MR. MAURICE DONNELLY. DR. RENE ENGEL and MR. BEN HOLZMAN have carried on tests as to the radioactive properties of local waters and common rocks. AERONAUTICS THE aeronautics department has been featured by the work of four men: DR. T HEODOR VON KARMAN, in general charge; DR. A. L. KLEIN, director of wind-tunnel research; DR. CLARK MILLIKAN, mathematics wizard; and MR. IRVING P. KICK, meteorologist. Streamlining of ultra- modern automobiles and airships, and new weather forecasting systems have been the main subjects of re- search. HYDRAULICS DR. VON KARMAN has shifted to the held of hydraulics to assist ROBERT T. KNAPP and ROBERT L. DAUGH- ERTY in pump tests being made for the Metropolitan Water District. VITO VANONI and PROFESSOR KNAPP have done much practical work on a large working model of Alamitos Bay, in connection With silt problems.

Alcocld ie! 30 THE EDUCATIONAL POLICIES OF TECH HAVE BEEN QUES- TIONED THIS YEAR BY A SPECIAL COMMITTEE. THE failure of the students of Cal Tech to participate in activities or take interest in social affairs finally brought recognition of the fact that Tech trained men do not receive a rounded training. The policy of the Institute has been to select men after the passing of a rigid entrance examination. The courses provide excellent training in the technical fields, and Cal Tech has become known for the high standards of work demanded of the under- graduates. The widespread recognition of the school has drawn students interested in both science and engineering to the school each year from even for- eign countries. However, the policy of the school has brought an over-ernphasis on technical training, with the result that Tech students are lacking in social training. To determine, if possible, what should be the main purpose in under- graduate training at Cal Tech, and to find what steps should be taken to carry out that purpose and remedy present faults in Cal Tech,s educa- tional system, the faculty appointed a committee on campus life and ac- tivities. This move was made at the request of the Committee on Student Relations. The men to serve upon the committee were selected from the Executive Council, associates, faculty, alumni, and students, and was under the chairmanship of PROFESSOR FRANKLIN THOMAS. Most important of the recommen- dations in relation to the educational policy of the Institute is the recom- mendation to not prevent students from registering due to low grades after having satisfactorily completed the Sophomore year; and the discon- tinuance of grading in the Junior and Senior years, allowing the student more than four years to finish his courses, and granting his degree only upon his completion of the courses. This recommendation is in line with changes being made in other schools in recognition of the indi- vidual needs in education. As yet no action upon the recommendations of the committee has been announced by the Executive Council or Trustees. The Institute at present grants only the degree of Bachelor of Science upon the completion of the under- graduate work in either of the courses in science or engineering. The men who were candidates for degrees this year are listed on the following pages. There are also described two edu- cational programs that are sponsored for the students by the faculty. These programs are the Monday Assemblies and the Treasure Room Exhibits. 31 EDUCATION- AL POLICY 32 CANDIDATES THE MEMBERS OF THE SENIOR Name Option FOR CLASS, WHO ARE C ANDID ATES Cox, Herbert Orville . . . . .

T SUBOTA VSEVOLOD V. TULAGIN THE MONDAY ASSEMBLIES ARE PRESENTED BY THE FACULTY AS PART OF THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM. A WORD to the incoming freshmen given by DOCTOR MUNRO at the first assembly of the school year acquaint- ing them with the aims of the Insti- tute and refreshing the minds of the upper-classmen with side comment on the economic situation. THE HONOR SYSTEM was the subject of three student speakers who pre- sented a survey of the workings of the system on the campus. SOME of the present problems of youth were dealt With by DOCTOR ROBERT A. MILLIKAN in the third assembly of the term who stressed the courage that youth must have to meet the world as he will find it when he leaves college. THIS WORLD OF DISCOURAGEMENT was a subject of DR. SOARES, occa- sioned by the withdrawal of Germany from peace negotiations, in the fourth assembly. DR. SOARES shattered the defeatistsi arguments by demonstrat- ing that human nature has been changed in the past and thus may be altered in the future even to the ex- tent of overcoming the present eco- nomic nationalism. A TALK on Labor and the NRA was given by NORMAN THOMAS, social- ist candidate for the presidency in 1932 in which the economic experi- ments of the Democratic administra- tion were attacked from the social- ists, point of view. CRITICAL DEVELOPMENTS IN THE RECOVERY PROGRAM were presented by PROFESSOR GILBERT in the sixth assembly in which the Democratic administration was attacked on the basis that the attempts at recovery which had been made were based more on propaganda than being prac- tical recovery measures. SLIDES on Indian Picture Writing in Southern California were presented in conjunction with a lecture by MR. GEORGE R. MOMYER for the seventh assembly. DR. RAY L. WILBUR, president of Stanford University, spoke on the value of professional service and its lack of appreciation by the layman, at the eighth assembly. BOULDER DAM was the subject of MR. WALKER R. YOUNG, Bureau of Reclamation construction engineer, who explained various phases of the construction at the ninth assembly. LIFE IN AND UNDER THE SOUTH SEAS, a beautifully. illustrated lecture by MR. ARTHUR C. PILLSBURY, di- vulged many beautiful forms of ani- mal and plant life on the ocean bottom, made vivid by colored motion pictures. A PROGRAM by the Institute Orchestra was given as one of their series of programs at the eleventh assembly of the term. 35 ASSEMBLIES ASSEMBLIES A PROGRAM of songs and negro spirituals was presented by MR. GEORGE GARNER, negro tenor, at the last assembly of the term. The - student body joined him in singing uOld Black Joe. AT THE first assembly of the second term MISS VOLYA COSSACK gave a piano recital. DETAILS of the Central Valley Water Project were presented by MR. HAR- OLD L. CONKLIN, Deputy State En- gineer, at the second assembly. DR. GEORGE EDGAR VINCENT, noted educator, gave an inspiring address in which he compared modern life to that of Platois ideal state. PROSPECTS FOR THE RECOVERY PRO- GRAM were set forth by DR. RAY E. UNTEREINER in which the monetary aspects of the Federal Administra- tionts recovery activities were greatly clarified at the fourth assembly. RUSSIA,S HUNGRY, HOPELESS WORK- ER was the topic for the fifth assem- bly in which MR. WHITING WIL- LIAMS, who had just spent six months on the burn in Russia, presented a vivid picture of his experiences. THE NEW UNION PACIFIC HIGH SPEED TRAIN was the subject of a lecture presented by MR. W. R. ARM- STRONG, General Superintendent of the Union Pacific System. To THE lack of Straight Thinking in a Confused World by world leaders was attributed the present discourag- 36 ing world situation by DR. EDWARD A. STEINER, noted author and psy- chologist, who held out little hope for the future until the spirit of Western civilization changes. THE ASCENT OF MOUNT SANGAY, EQUADOR, was the subject of a beau- tifully illustrated talk given by MR. R. T. MOORE. MODERN tendencies in architecture and industrial art were discussed by MR. C. GRANT LA FARGE in which he predicted the future combination of the utilitarian with the artistic in architectural trends. DR. JAMES ROWLAND ANGELL, Presi- dent of Yale University, delivered the first lecture of the third term in which he emphasised the benefits of a tech- nical college training in many non- technical fields of endeavor. SELF EDUCATION was DR. SOARES, topic at the second assembly of the term, in which he emphasized the im- portance of Iself-discipline. THE committee on Campus Life and Interests held a round table discussion of the problem of getting men out for activities and tentative methods of increasing interest in extra-curricu- Ear activities, at the third assembly. T HE HUMAN SIDE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING was presented by MR. DAVID HALL, engineering supervisor of the Westinghouse Electric. EXHIBITS HAVE BEEN HELD THIS YEAR IN THE TREASURE ROOM FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS is the frrst year that the Treasure Room has been regularly opened. The roor'n in the past has been closed except on special occa- lev'l' T sions, but at the hrst of the year ARDEN LANHAM suggested that the room be opened to the students and faculty and offered his help to pro- vide exhibitions of books and of works of art by various outstanding artists. The first exhibit, a collection of rare books of the history and devel- opment of aviation, was offered by MR. JAKE ZEITLIN. Following the success of this, PROFESSOR C. K. JUDY appointed a committee of DR. EAGLE- SON, MRS. HENRY BORSOOK, and ARDEN LANHAM to have charge of the exhibits in the Treasure Room. Arrangements for the exhibits were to be cared for by ARDEN LAN- HAM, and since the Division of Hu- manities provided no funds to carry on the project, the expenses neces- sarily involved this year have been paid by MR. LANHAM, personally. The first of the series of art ex- hibits was a group of prints by ROCKWELL KENT. The prints in- cluded lithographs from KENT,S last Greenland trip, as well as illustra- tions from Beowulf and woodcuts from his book, N by E. With PAUL LANDACRES wood- engravings was an exhibition of the original wood blocks and explana- tions of the methods of doing the delicate work. MR. JOHN C. STICK kindly loaned from his collection photographs from eleven different nations, illustrating various methods of making the prints. Specimen pages from books de- signed by WARD RITCHIE, Southern California artist-typographer, were of special interest because MR. RITCHIE was designing the Big T for 1934. After the spring vacation the photographs taken by undergraduate and graduate students were exhibited. 37 EXHIBITS Arden Lanbam 1x! Ian H0 N win mew b1 TR r.x THE ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY, THRU ELECTED OFFI- CERS, MANAGES ENTIRELY ITS OWN BUSINESS AFFAIRS. ALTHOUGH this method of student government is in most ways success- ful, it has some marked weaknesses, and it is of great credit to both this years student officers and the stu- dents handling publications that the past indebtedness has been decreased. Interesting comment on the years student affairs is the statement made in a reporterls write-up of the Elec- tion Rally and the following assem- bly. The serious acceptance speeches were made in Culbertson and proved to be pretty tame, since PEARNE had so united the Student body in his term that no real issues were notice- able. The student activities of the year are described in the pages that fol- low, and recorded here is a state- ment made at the end 'of the year by a graduating senior: Those who are graduating and leaving behind this present Student Body to be slowly assimilated into another Student Body of future years believe that a word to the wise is sufficient, and leave this word and challenge: Continue to grow together in spirit and purpose, cultivate an increasing desire to see Cal Tech in the front ranks of all endeavors, and out of it all will evolve an Institution that is some- thing more than a home for visiting h i an . t h C physicists and a stamping ground fox Exhibit Day crowds? The policy of letting things drift as they would was thrown by the wayside, and a sincere attempt was made to do something about sev- eral things. The fact that this policy of action has been successful is clear- ly demonstrated by the present finan- cial condition of the Associated Stu- dent Body. This Executive Committee was faced with a huge deficit which was surely to be greatly increased by financial failure of the 1933 Big T. The committee went straight to the heart of the matter and made several provisions for reestablishing the fi- nances of the Student Body. First the current budget was greatly curtailed and a large saving of several hundred 39 ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY 101m Peame, President ASSOCIATED STUDEN T BODY Executive C 0772 mittee dollars effected there. Then after a long and stormy battle, backed by the whole hearted support of the Student Body, a special flfty cent per term assessment was obtained. Abso- lute, strict economy was effected with respect to the T'Big T which in for- mer years has been the cause of our large deficit, and at present writing this year's uBig T gives all indica- tions of being a financial success. This radical financial policy has been greatly enhanced by excellent business management of the California Tech which has become a financial asset to the Student Body, a truly remarkable accomplishment. Aside from this fiscal policy the present Executive Committee has car- ried out numerous other work in ad- dition to the duties of directing the Student Body government. Among these was the purchase of caps and gowns, to be rented to the senior class as a further income to the Stu- dent Body. The honor point list was revised to give a more fair distribu- '40 Wilson, Cleveland, Thomas, Gregory, Shteck, Craig, Shatp, Peame. Wyatt, Mathewson, tion of points, and the policy of in- forming the Student Body as a whole of proceedings of the committee was rigorously followed. The EX. Committee was headed by PRESIDENT JOHN PEARNE, and was composed of the following members: ROBERT SHARP was Vice-President; CARROLL CRAIG, Secretary; JAMES GREGORY, Treasurer ; ROBERT SCHRECK and CHARLES THOMAS, Representatives at Large; WAYNE WILSON, Publicity Manager; DAN MATHEWSON, Athletic Manager; FRANCIS WYATT, Chairman of the Rally Committee; and DON CLEVE- LAND, head Yell Leader. The stogies passed out by MR. D. AYRES SKINNER inspired the boys to turn out for Techts record vote. The new OH'TCC holders have already begun an active policy in initiating new ac- tivity as well as continuing that of the former group. The policy of I -..s .QBM .h; handling the hnances in order that the deflcit may be completely removed is being continued and a new policy emphasizing publicity and recogni- tion for participation in student ac- tivity is being pursued. The Student Body officers elected were: WALLACE JOHNSON, Presi- dent; FRED KING, Vice-President; EUCLID WATTS, Secretary; B015 KRAMER, Treasurer; DON WEBSTER, and WENDALL MILLER, Representa- tives at Large; REUBEN WOOD, Pub- licity Manager; BOB PARKER, Ath- letic Manager; AL CREAL, Rally .3, l' t; GENE ED- WARDS, Yell Leader; VICTOR VEY- SEY,Editor of the Tech ; ART FROST, Business Manager of the uTech ; BOB BAKEMAN, Editor, and ROBERT HAL- LANGER, Manager of the uBig T.

THE talks were presented by BOB SHARP, BRUCE BECKLEY, CHARLES THOMAS, and BILL HARRIS. The Board 'of Control is a group of ten representative students elected by their classes, one freshman, two sophomores, three juniors, and four seniors. This group is headed by the vice-president of the student body as chairman. The duties of the Board are to administer the Honor System on our campus. Any infraction of the Honor System is called to the attention of the Boardlof Control, which then investigates the affair and passes judgment thereupon. The procedure of the Board is quite distinctive. Cases are not treated as trials at all. On the contrary, the men who appear before the Board of Control are not considered as defend- ants but rather as co-workers. The 42 W. Miller, Newton, W. Johnson, Evans, Mathewson, Peame, Craig, C. Smith, Cleveland, R. Sharp. general procedure is in the nature of a frank and open discussion, with each party supplying whatever he can to the discussion. By means of this the truth is generally arrived at and the Board can make a decision. PREPARATION FOR EXHIBIT DAY, THE ANNUAL TTOPEN HOUSE , WHICH WAS HELD IN APRIL, BEGAN EARLY IN THE YEAR. IN PLANNING this yeafs exhibit, the committee stressed the student demonstration lectures which proved such a success last year. Liquid air, the conductivity of electricity in gases, high frequency phenomena, illumina- , tion, streamlining, earthquakes, and chemical energy were the subjects of interesting lecturesegiven every hour. These student lectures were a great success. The preparation and presen- tation of the material were a credit :3: Back Row: Sherborne, Romoli, B. Young. Front Row: Simmons, Engelder, Patton, Rooke tChair- mam, J. Cortelyou. to the men participating in these demonstrations. ' There were also many exhibits which featured the most spectacular phenomena in every department of science and engineering. The aero- nautics wind tunnel, the high volt- age demonstrations, and the Kellogg x-ray tube were the features of para- mount interest to the public. The publicity this year was limited to form letters and posters sent out to high schools and junior colleges. The large attendance this year show- ed that this annual event at Cal Tech is becoming very widely known and appreciated by the people of South- ern California. The registration show- ed that approximately ten thousand people Visited the campus in the two days of the exhibit this year. EXHIBIT DAY Exhibit Day C 0mmittee RALLIES Don Cleveland and Eugene Edward: At 4 Game THE RALLY COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ORGAN- IZING ALL OF THE RALLIES. THE committee was directed by FRANCIS WYATT with a member from each class. These men worked hard in their eEort to stir up school spirit and to promote support for the teams on the field. Their efforts have not been without success as was shown by the response which the student body gave in team support. Further duties of the Rally Com- mittee were to take charge of the rooting sections at the games. They have charge of the preparations for all student body assemblies. These were held on alternate Fridays and were used entirely for rallies during the first term. In the second term the assembly programs were put on by the various classes. Accounts of the assemblies are on page iifty-seven. RALLIES FOR THE FOOTBALL GAMES WERE OF VARIED TYPES, EACH DESIGNED TO FIT THE OCCASION. THEY consisted of send-offs for 44 games, student body assemblies Fri- day mornings, and rallies on the field while the team was at practice. Then there was the most gigantic of all Tech rallies, the pajamarino for the Oxy game. The most conspicuous characters at all of these rallies were the peppy yell leaders, DON CLEVE- LAND and GENE EDWARDS. These men in conjunction with the Cal Tech band, which reflected the fme spirit of its leader, AUDRE L. STRONG, made a nucleus for the rooting sections. The team was started on its trip to Fresno by a send-off rally back of Throop, with an added impulse from a group of loyal supporters who went with them as far as Glendale, where they boarded the train. It was at this rally that we saw what a lively bunch of Frosh we had been blessed with this year. Cleveland, Creal, Wyatt tChairmanL Webster, Austin. COACH Fox STANTON started off the series of Friday assembly ral- lies by telling us what the spectator and player might get out of a foot- ball game. The next rally was held at Tournament Park while the team was at work. The band gave the neces- sary order as well as furnished music to cheer the team on. Then there was the big blow-off of the year the night before the Oxy game. The town was invaded on this occasion by the ma- jority of the student body, arrayed in night wear of all kinds. After a night of yelling the crowd again turned out to strain sore throats at an exciting but disappointing game. On the night before the San Diego game the band put on a rally all of its own. This consisted of a snappy thirty-minute program which was broadcast over KFSD in San Diego. The next day found a rooting section fully as large on the Cal Tech side as that on the Aztecs side, although we were miles from home. The Cal Tech rooting section lacked nothing for spirit, keeping their support high throughout the game. 45 RALLY COMMITTEE The Committee A Send-Mr THE CALIFORNIA TECH N eil Snow, Editor Bryant Myers, Manager :39, WEEKLY UNDERGRADUATE NEWSPAPER IS ONE OF THE ASSETS OF THE STUDENT BODY. WITH all the details of manage- ment shouldered by the two elective ofhcets, the editor and business man- ager, the llTech is a monument to the individual efforts of its various edi- tors, for the llTech is strictly limited by the size of its staffs, and the heavy schedules of its reporters. Journal- istic interest among the undergraduate body often requires a prod from the editor. BRYANT MYERS, efflcient and ag- gressive business manager of the Tech for the past two years, de- serves recognition, not only for his surprising PIOfltS, but for his co-opera- tion with the editors. It is quite true, especially for the 46 past year, that one termls staff would have dilhculty recognizing the past term's members. Two editors, three sports editors, and a host of feature writers have come and faded away. HAROLD SCHILLER was elected to the nearly forgotten, and certainly unappreciated office of editor. He wrote the llTech for two terms, be- fore the continual grind fmally wore him out. He dropped out of Tech for a year to recuperate, to make an- other start at his senior work. HAROLD made one mistake: he, JOHN SHERBORNE, and GLENN WOODWARD attempted to write four to six pages of type a week. No one can blame them for letting their en- thusiasm flag towards the last. The strain was too much. The first 1934 edition was put out by a coalition from Fleming House. Faced with the necessity of getting an editor, the Executive Committee appointed NEIL SNOW, a former sports editor, to take SCHILLER,S place. SNOW. appointed VICTOR VEYSEY sports editor, rounded up several new reporters, revived a few hibernating potential literary genius- es, and somehow managed to com- plete the term. Some of the men who deserve credit for their continued and con- scientious efforts in improving the Tech are: PROFESSOR MACMINN, whose weekly faculty corrections on the previous iiTechs are illuminating Back Row: H. Davenport, Gibbs, Colvin, Baldwin, Skinner, Myers, Rooke. Front Row: J. Cortelyou, E. Miller, Carroll, Sherborne. and helpful; GENE MILLER who turned out, week after week, enough news assignments to cover two or three pages; HORACE DAVENPORT whose weekly Paracelsus kept the literary Tech man informed on the beSt of reading; DAVIS SKINNER, whose regulariiHubbaitcornments al- ways amused; BILL CAMPBELL, DICK CRUTCHFIELD, LAWRENCE BALDWIN, HUGH COLVIN, JACK CORTELYOU, and others who fulhlled the assign- ments of reporters. VICTOR VEYSEY, sports editor under SNOW, was elected by the stu- dent body to be the 1934-35 editor of the hTech and assumed his duties at the outset of the third term. HUGH COLVIN replaced VEYSEY as sports editor. ARTHUR FROST was elected to succeed MYERS as business manager at the end of the third term. THE CALIFORNIA TECH Tbe Staff THE YEAR BOOK Arden Lanham, Editor Robert Kramer, Manager CONTINUATION OF THE uBIG T WAS VOTED UPON AT THE ELECTIONS OF THE STUDENT BODY IN 1933. IN ESSENTIAL meaning the question was thisedo you care sufficiently to have a TTBig T published this next year to pay 50 cents each term for three terms to help pay off the present deficit? On the same ballot were elected an editor and business manager for the Big Ttteif there should be one. The business manager had never had any experience with publications, and the editofs only stated qualifications were that he has a smile.n The voted increase in dues was vetoed by the faculty. With some dating, the ex-committee accepted the proposal of the editor that the pub- lication be continued if he could show that it could pay for itself. The editor started work. Then the NRA came along. Prices went high. The editor had to figute it out all over again. If 300 books could'be sold and if this and that-the book could be printed. An intensive sales cam- paign sold 296 books. They gambled and went on. Then came along an engraver. He claimed a past Big T had damaged his business and wanted recompense. A lawyer for the student body helped settle the matter. V The editor was taken ill. Out two weeks. Poor health brought poor grades. He decided to remain out of school for the rest of the year, but offered to finish the job if the student body desired. It did. The business manager started sell- ing advertising, but the advertisers didn't want to do much buying. Then the editor discovered that by using colotype for reproduction much better pictures could be had, and for so few books it actually cost less than engraving. They used colotype. Then another salesman claimed violation of a four-year contract made three years ago. That was settled. But low and beholdewith the job Not all of the staff is here. The entire list is in the foreword. Those present are: Back Row: Patton, Rooke, Vermeulen, L. Hallanger, Veysey. Front Row: Kramer, H. Davenport, Skinner, Jahns, R. Hallanger, Lanham. almost finished it looks like it will pay for itself. The editor, ARDEN LANHAM, and business manager, ROBERT KRAMER, report that 326 books are sold and paid for. Adver- tising has been sold, and if all goes well to the end, for the first time in several years the llBig T will not be in debt; and this book will not have to be paid for by the students four years later. The job was accomplished by a good staff. The fellows who have done most of the work are listed in the foreword. Special credit goes to an assistant editor, ROBERT HALLAN- GER. Two good salesmen deserve credit, WARREN PATTON and DON DRUMMOND. 49 THE YEAR BOOK Tbe Staff PART V w Arche: m. D. Alcocb TWICE THIS YEAR STUDENTS LEFT THEIR BOOKS TO ASSUME THE ROLES OF ACTORS AND ACTRESSES. THE Pi Kappa Delta sponsored the classical comedy during the fall term, while in the spring the Drama Club undertook the management of an eighteenth-century English comedy. The able guidance of DR. HARVEY EAGLESON and DR. ROGER STANTON, made both productions outstandingly successful. The spirit of PLAUTUS, hovering above Culbertson Hall last Novem- ber, must have chuckled to witness the performance of his comedy, The Menaechmi. FRANCIS and MILTON CLAUSER made their debut in Tech dramatics as the twin Menaechmi, young Grecian gentleman, Who are both in the city of Epidamnus, un- known to each other. HENRI LEVY as the seductive EROTIUM, mercenary mistress of one Menaechmus, causes no end of trouble by inviting the wrong brother to her apartment. Still deeper are the entanglements caused when GLEN WOODWARD, playing the deceived wife of one twin also confuses the brothers and accuses one of infldelity. Through the efforts of WALTON WICKBTT, as the slave Messenio, the threads are untangled and all ends happily. HAROLD SCHIL- LER, satirizing the medical profession as the doctor, and RICHARD JAHNs as the stuttering old father-in-law of Menaechmus, kept the audience in laughter with their antics. Those Who completed the cast were EDWARD KAS- NICKA as the parasite, FREDERICK MOORE as the cook, OLIVER DUNBAR as the maid, and FRED SMITH, THOM- AS GUARDIA, and WILLIAM BRIGGS as the slaves. Perhaps HENRY FIELDING attended a performance of llHamlet in a cyn- ical mood. Perhaps he was merely capricious. At any rate he wrote Tom Thumb the Great with ad- mirable lack of self-restraint and created a charming, uproariously funny burlesque on the conventions and fashions of classical and Shake- spearean'tragedyw . . . The court Of1.KING'.ARTHUR OF ENGLAND is the sceneof action, Where the diminutive TOM THUMB has car- ried on a' successful'conquest against the giant. JAMES RADFORD portrayed the pompous king while MARTIN WEBSTER assumed the role of THUMB. Both TQM and GRIZZLE tEDWARD KASNICKIQ are suitors for the hand of the gentle PRINCESS HUMCAMUNCA, while the usual tri- angle is complicated by the Violent love of QUEEN DOLLALLOLLA for the tiny hero. HENRI LEVY and MARSHAL CLAGGETT as the princess and queen provide the necessary feminine ele- ments. DOUGLAS ROLLOW and FRED MOORE embody the supernatural elements as ghost and conjurer. The remaining parts are played by THOM- AS GUARDIA as the captive giantess 51 DRAMA DRAMA Greek Play Greek Play W queen, SIDNEY SMITH, RAY TRAY- NOR, and WAYNE WILSON as the trio of courtiers, ALBERT DEKKER and LAWRENCE BALDWIN as the Bailiff and his follower, DON KIMBALL as the parson, and GLENN WOODWARD as the maid of honor. The persons playing feminine leads are to be complimented upon their feminine appeal. l'vuu '9 y N THE TECH GLEE CLUB OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES TO GET EN- JOYMENT AND RECREATION. IMMEASUREABLE credit is due the club leader, MR. ALLEN RAY CAR- PENTER,, for his work in making out of raw material an organization of which Tech can rightly feel proud. The hrst appearance of the club was an exchange program given for Occidental. After the program the Oxy girls glee club entertained the Tech club-in various ways. After a delightful lunch in the Student Union, the remainder of the afternoon was spent in dancing and swimming. The next program took the club to Broadoaks.

HOWEVER this is the first year the band has amounted to anything. AUDRE STONG, director for the past two years, is to be praised for the success obtained. The band was present at all the home football games this year and added greatly to the school spirit by participating in several send-off ral- lies during which the snakes were driven out of their rooms by the lively and spirited din of several hundred students singing, or yelling. On the week-end before Thanks- giving, thirty-five members of the Members of the Band mined alpbabetimllyi: Joseph Ashworth, Horace Babcock, William Cox, Paul Dane, Frederick Dion, Willis Donahue, William Ellery, Raymond Feagans, Nathaniel Green, Danial Gerlough, Robert Hallanger, Charles Heath, Everett Henderson, James Hurst, Russell Kennedy, Franklin Lawrence, Maurice Manning, Eugene Miller, Bruce Morgan, Herbert Morgan, Martin Poggi, Nathan Scott, Victor Veysey, Ralph Watson, Glenn Weaver, Walton Wick- ert, Glenn Woodward, Francis Wyatt. band were taken to San Diego-ex- penses paid-f0r the outward and visible purpose of enticing our team, by means of sweet music UL into greater efforts. Once football season had ended, the band got down to some serious work and gave several performances over the radio. The band also played at the Flintridge horse show, an an- nual affair at which we find the sons and daughters of Pasadenas elite. 55 BAN D The Band FORENSICS. The Vam'ty Debate Team FROM THE NUMBER OF DE- BATES WON AND LOST, THE SEASON WAS NO SUCCESS. IN THE Redlandstournarnent, the Cal Tech record, down in cold hgures, was flve victories against flfteen de- feats. The teams making the trip were PITZER and LIEN, HAMMOND and HAMMACHER, JAHNS and LEVY, WARNER and WILSON, STUPPY and MYERS. Two teams, JOHNSON and DES- MOND, and HAMMOND and HAM- MACHER, participated in the tourna- ment at MacMinnville, Oregon, in February. The former won two and lost four; the latter reversed the score. In the conference tournament 56 Back Row: Wilson, Warner, Pitzer, Desmond, Beck- ley. Franz Row: Dr. Untereiner, Jahns, Lien, John- son, Levy, Myers. Tech placed fourth. The Pi Kappa Delta invitational tournament held at Tech found HAMMOND and HAMMACHER with five wins ahd'two losses; JAHNS and LEVY took four debates and dropped two. PITZER placed seventh in the extempore finals, and BECKLEY emerged fourth in the oratory finals. PITZER and BECKLEY were selected to make the trip to the national Pi Kappa Delta forensic tournament held at Lexington, Kentucky. This brought an end to What was a satis- factory year in spite of the number of lost debates. THE STUDENT BODY ASSEM- BLIES ARE ARRANGED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE RALLY COMMITTEE. CHAIRMAN. FRANCIS WYATT had this thankless job this year. He certainly deserves credit for his work. But the final success or failure of the programs depends upon the students. Here are brief accounts of the assemblies. x October 6. Actually this was a fresh rally. Upper classmen stayed away in huge gobs because they werent promised women or free lollypops. ttFox Stanton gave one of the finest talks ever given from that stage. He advised the frosh to not to do what upperclassrnen do! December 8. Today's show broke all attendance records. Docs, sophs, and even seniors came. Only Mickey Mouse can stop chemical reactions, keep books closed, and compete suc- cessfully with bridge games. DR. MARKOVIN of U.S.C. also talked . about the uPsychology of the Ani- mated Cartoon. February 2. The frosh did great things. Music, boxing by proxy, gags, and a debate slayed even the log- log pushers. Impersonating MILLI- KAN, MACARTHUR, EAGLESON, and . TUFFY WILCOX, four upstarts de- bated, uResolved, that the Gates chem lab should be changed into a brewery. As reward DR. MILLIKAN was given a bottle of beer and DR. MACARTHUR receivedehot diggity e'tOur Sally. February 16. Of course no jun- iors took part in their program. The attraction was the P.J.C. uPopular Ensemble who showed some hot rhythms and harmony. Some were huffy'when the J. C. beauties didn,t appear, but stayed to get Milk-nickels. A.S.B. nominations were made. February 23. The best election rally Tech ever had-proved by the record vote. While SKINNER passed out stogies, candidates aired their views. Dropping paper bags filled with water, netted POTTER a bath in the physics pool. Serious speeches were made in CULBERTSON. Marcia 30. The seniors were only five weeks late presenting this assem- bly. Using their dramatic talent, these men crashed thru with a play. The plot was thinner than SALLY RAND,S feathers and vaguer than SALLY,S reason for using a fan at all. STUDENT - - ASSEMBLIES Francis Wyatt, Chairman PAJAMARINO THE PAJAMARINO AGAIN WAS Marcher: N igbtsbittx RECREATION FOR BOTH CAL TECH FELLOWS AND PASA- DENA. EXALTED enthusiasm burst forth and ran rampant at this yeafs Pajama- rino, on the night before the Oxy game, as a release from weeks of scholarly suppression. The partici- pants, the Tech undergrads, the grads, and alumni, and even some of the Pasadena youth who had qualifying pajamas and horn-rimmed spectacles matched the streets of Pasadena and figuratively painted the town. Some of the students who were disquali- fied from the parade because their pajamas were taking time out for the laundry and Who were standing on the side-lines watching the proces- sion stated that they even saw some of the Tech teaching staff marching noisily along with their charges. These students have been making investigation into the matter trying to find whether the mo- tives for this seeming undignified action on the part of the professors was due to enthusiasm or lack of funds with which to see the free en- tertainment offered the noise-makers by the Pasadena Theater. COLORADO STREET EXPERIMENTAL LABORATORY THE Pacific Electric Railway Com- pany especially enjoyed the pajama- rino because it gave them, for once, an opportunity to make excellent 58 extensive excuses to their patrons for the intermittent service. The Electricals took special delight in seeing which of them could draw the longest are between the trolley and the line by pulling the string which hangs at the rear of all the Colorado Street Tuner- villes. A record was made in this event by a junior who by sheer dex- terity pulled out one of twelve inches and held it there. Further up the street a group of tTMechanicals were determining the coefhcient of rolling resistence of steel on soap by liberal- ly annointing the rails with soap. The value of the coeHicient was found to be in the order of one ten thousandth and was not sufficiently large to stop the street cars at the intersections. The biologists were on the verge of kidnapping a beautiful unit of help from one of the cafes with the inten- tion of bringing it to the student house laboratories for observation and experimentation. The strong arm of the law intervened at this point, however, and the investigators were forced to content themselves with a maltese alley-cat. BAND HERALDS ADVANCE The Tech Band, the shock troops, made a strong, impressive scene as they rode regally down the street pro- ceeding the parade in their four-ton capacity limousine. The tuba player, of the musical unit, served as the life of the party by disemboweling from his voluminous instrument a myriad of articles which he had honestly or otherwise lured therein. The band also diverted the audience of the Pasadena Theater from the customary canned music of the modern screen by giving them selections from the works of the immortal SOUSA. SNAKES PERFORM Even itsnakesn deserted their desks for the cause and slithered back and forth across the street, around lamp- posts, and through corner drug stores in their characteristic iisnake dance. PROFESSOR uWILLIEn BEARD and MRS. BEARD bravely brought their Austin into the fray. Of course, said Austin was immediately transformed into a litter by some of the brawny crowd and the professor and his wife enjoyed the triumphal march in state equal to that of a Chinese plutocrat and with considerable saving in gaso- line. Cars parked along the street were not immune to attacks of horn honking, and bumpers, fenders, and running boards of any vehicles travel- ing in the proper direction were im- mediately commandeered by the un- ruly mob. Unfortunately, the grid-men, in whose honor this event was staged, were unable to conquer their tradi- tional enemies, the iiOxy tigers, on the field of battle the day after the night before. The defeat could surely not be laid at the door of the paraders because if noise and enthusiasm could be used as a measure of success, our team could have easily beaten the Oxy team, the referees and the weather. 59 PAJAMARINO Halted Concert RODEO Pmbkall THE RODEO ALMOST WENT FLAT WHEN THE PUSHBALL BROKE, BUT WAS CLEVERLY REVIVED BY THE JUNIORS. h THE almost universal desire of sopho- mores to display their superiority, which they believe that a year of ugoing through the mill has endow- ed them, to the somewhat'dazed and befuddled yet enthusiastic freshmen, is characteristic of any American col- lege. Consequently, contests are or- ganized, challenges hurled, and the conflict proceeds for the first few weeks of the college year. At Tech this interclass competition is some sort of an athletic contest which is sponsored by a committee of juniors and which for past years has taken the form of a push-ball con- test. The losing team always ac- knowledges the superiority of the victors by giving a dance in their honor. Tradition has it that the Rodeo be held between the halves of the Oxy-Cal Tech football game, and the spectators be given a chance to en- 60 joy seeing a game of that man-sized sport-pushball. tThey say it is a game the freshmen have never wonj However, this year the tradition was broken. One of the powers-that-be decided that the contest should not be held at the football game. There- fore, the contest was staged on the turf of Tournament Park.

The vanquished freshmen, fol- lowing tradition, gave a dance in honor of the triumphant sophomores. The dance was a sensational success, too. It was held in the gold room of the civic auditorium, where the former bitterness of class rivalry be- came transformed into a mutual feel- ing of good-fellowship. 61 The Cabinet PARTICIPATION IN THE Y.M. CA. PROGRAM IS OPEN TO ALL TECH STUDENTS, WITHOUT REGARD TO DENOMINATION. THE program is directed to fill needs of student life on the campus. The work is carried out by the elective offlcers, assisted by men interested in various phases of the iTY program. A large share of work among the stu- dents is done by uCHUCK SCHWIESO, who has been the Y.M.C.A. secre- tary for several years. The advisory board is composed of the elected ofhcers, two faculty men, DEAN HIN- RICHS and PROF. SORENSEN, several Tech alumni, and men off-campus Who are interested in the associa- 62 Bishop, Everett, Moore, Snelling, Schwieso, Rosen- cranz, Morgan, C. Thomas, Gluckman, Schreck. tion. FRITZ KARGE, Tech '18, is the chairman. The Cal-Tech Y.M.C.A. began its activities for the year with a fresh- man conference, held at Round Meadow. The purpose of the con- ference was to introduce the incom- ing students to the Tech spirit and traditions. Cabinet meetings and luncheons are held on alternate weeks. The pur- pose of the luncheon is to give Tech men the opportunity to hear out- standing men engaged in work other than scientific and technological pur- suits. To the end of furthering a spirit of fellowship among the men in dif- ferent classes and houses, retreats are held at the Y.M.C.A. cabin in Fish Canyon. A bull session in the evening and at nights sleep in the open air provide a tonic for the over- worked Tech men. Among the services for the campus at large performed by the Y are the sponsoring of groups, maintain- ing an employment service for stu- dents, providing typewriter and tele- phone service, and securing speakers for meetings and assemblies. Among the groups sponsored was the Inter- national group, led by RUDOLPH VON HOININGEN HUENE. Tech students from foreign countries showed active interest in the group. The Walrus Club, under the guidance of HOWARD GLUCKMAN, is the discussion group for social and economic questions. Three assemblies were sponsored by the Y.M.C.A., featuring NORMAN T HOMAS and DR. EDWARD A. STEIN- ER of Grinnell. DR. STEINER was on the Tech campus for six weeks. Dur- ing this time he spoke at Breakfast Club meetings, which were held in the student houses on Sunday morn- ings. ROBERT ELLIOT was in charge of this activity. Other speakers were DR. GREGORY VLASTOS, a young professor of phi- losophy at Queens College, Ontario, v Canada, who was the main Speaker at Asilomar, and MR. JAMES HARD- WICK of the Southern Division of the Y.M.C.A. DR. VLASTOS spoke to a faculty meeting and an undergradu- ate meeting. MR. HARDWICK spoke to a freshman group on the meaning of religion. The highlight of the year for the association is always the Asilo- mar conference, held during the Christmas week. For the first time in the history of the Pacific Coast, the conference was co-ed. Contrary to many pessimistic expectations, the conference was a success. Tech sent a delegation of eight men, headed by V WILLIAM EVERETT, Asilomar chair- man. The new ofhcers for the year 1934- 35 were installed at a breakfast at the home of EUCLID MCBRIDE, a member of the advisory board, on April 29. 63 Y. M. C. A. Chuck Scbwiem, S ecretary TAU BETA PI TAU BETA PI IS THE ONLY HONORARY ENGINEERING FRATERNITY AT CAL TECH. The first event in which the fra- ternity interested itself was the rep- resentation of itself at the annual national convention, which was held last fall at Chicago at the same time as the World's Fair was in progress. BILL MOORE represented the society. Two elections and initiations were held by the fraternity, each of which was attended by a rush smoker and an initiation banquet. The fall initi- ation banquet was marked by the initiation ofa prominent local engi- neer, MR. FRANK E. WEYMOUTH, chief engineer of the Metropolitan 64 Back Rows Cox, E. Green, Jennison, R.

CLARKE, a prominent architectural photographer, was the speaker at the dinner. Tau Beta Pi's two dances of the year were greatly enjoyed by the members and those fortunate enough to be invited. The hrst, a formal, was held in the winter, While a sport dance was held in the spring. This dance was a farewell party to the graduating men. THE CALIFORNIA GAMMA OF THE PI KAPPA DELTA IS THE LOCAL ORGANIZATION OF THE NATIONAL FORENSIC FRATERNITY, ONE of the outstanding activities of the local chapter resulted in the now traditional annual. presenta- tion of a Greek or Roman drama in which try-outs for the cast are open to any member of the student body. Drs. Eagleson and Stanton directed The Menaechrni, which was pro- duced the past season. In order to further advance the arts of speech as practiced during the Warner, Wilson, Nies, Peame, Lien, Dunbar, Dean Macarthur, Desmond, Myers, Pitzer, Beckley. past centuries and at the same time effect a closer union of all members, a national convention is held bien- nially, in which representatives from the one hundred and forty chapters participated in debate, oratory and extemporaneous speaking. BRUCE BECKLEY and KENNETH PITZER represented California Gamma at the convention in Lexington, Kentucky, the past year. The initiation of seven prominent men on the campus: DR. EAGLESON, DR. STANTON, HOWARD HAMMACH- ER, PAUL HAMMOND, DICK JAHNS, WALLACE JOHNSON and LAURENCE STUPPY, concluded one of the most successful years that the local chap- ter has known. PI KAPPA DELTA Chem Club Dinner CHEMISTRY IF ONE TURNS THE PAGES OF CLUB THE CHEMISTRY CLUB'S MIN- UTES ONE FINDSw A discussion on hheavy water, a lecture on selenium, descriptions and explanations of color photographic processes for motion pictures with a demonstration of same, the Raman Effect, and later the intricacies of vita- min chemistry. Associated with the presentation of these subjects are the names of prominent members of our faculty, and men of industry. Now the Chem Club banquet, and an invitation to visit the Richfleld oil refinery by MR. C. K. HEWES, chief chemist for that company. Exhibit day activities now fill sev- eral pages of our book as evidence of the club's contributions to the public.

THE DRAMA CLUB CARRIES ON DRAMATIC TRADITIONS BY PRESENTING A PLAY EACH YEAR IN THE SPRING. T OM T HUME THE GREAT was the highly amusing play presented by the Drama Club this Spring. This comedy was written by HENRY FIELDING, and although of an Eighteenth Century vintage, the play evoked many a laugh from our more modern audi- ence. The title role was played by MARTIN WEBSTER, while JAMES RAD- FORD as the King, MARSHALL CLAG- GE'IT as the Queen, HENRI LEVY as the Princess, and EDWARD KASNICKA as Grizzle completed the major por- tion of the cast. JAMES DAVIES as Davies, Radford, Moore, Jahns, Levi, Dunbar, Pitzer, Woodward. business manager of the play made it a financial success in due keeping with its artistic triumph. The Drama Club of the California Institute of Technology is an honor- ary organization comprising men chosen from the undergraduates showing outstanding interest in dramatics. Its chief activities are those directly concerned with the choice and production of an annual dramatic presentation. The success of the play presented this spring is a repetition of that enjoyed by the club in the past, particularly with reference to the tragedy 'iGeorge Bamwell which was presented last year. 67 DRAMA CLUB PHOTO CLUB Prize Winning Picture THE SALON OF THE PHOTO CLUB WAS ENTERED BY THE GRADUATE STUDENTS AS WELL AS BY STUDENT BODY MEMBERS. THE prizes were offered by the Big T as attraction for photographs taken on the campus. Each of the pictures that are used on the division pages were selected from among the photos that were hung in the salon. About forty photographs were submitted to the salon, which was hung in the Treasure Room. The photos included many taken on the campus and many more that were taken elsewhere. They included sub- jects which ranged from brilliant black and white studies of rock crushers t0 finely rendered portraits. Many persons expressed surprise that the excellent work was done by students who were amateurs of only slight experience. The three men who were judges also Spoke well of the work. They were MR. ERNEST WILLIAMS, MR. DAVID SHEAHAN and MR. JOHN C. STICK. All of them are photographers who are internationally known and are members of the Los Angeles Camera Pictorialists. They awarded the prizes for the campus pictures in the following order: llCorridor by WARREN PAT- TON, flrst; iiKirckhoff Laboratories by E. D. ALCOCK tgraduate studenty , second; liMajestic Throop by ROB- 68 ERT I. STIRTON tgraduate studenty, third; Athenaeurn by WILLIAM MCLEAN, fourth. The first prize picture by WARREN PATTON is reproduced on this page. With the exception of MCLEAle picture, the others are used as divi- sion pages in this book. This year has been the most suc- cessful year that the Photo Club has experienced since its founding. In addition to holding the salon, the club secured MR. JOHN C. STICK to deliver a series of lectures covering the held of pictorial photography. MR. STICK is a photographer of wide experience, having been one of the founders of the present Camera Pic- torialists of Los Angeles. He has ex. hibited all over the world. The membership of the club has been the largest it has ever been, and the attendance at the lectures has been all that could be desired. An- other feature that has helped to make the meetings popular has been the period devoted to criticism of prints submitted by the members. By this means, the members have discovered their weaknesses and by constant effort have improved the quality of their work to a really remarkable degree. Credit for this is due to MR. STICK. Many people besides the members of the club have attended MR. STICK'S lectures. The organization of the club is very informal; there are no elected McLean, Estes, Lindsey, Patton. ofhcers and no dues. This year the organization was more or less hand- ed. down to WARREN L. PATTON. The members of the club include members from each of the under- graduate classes and a number of graduate students. One of the mem- bers, DR. Y. M. HSIEH, is a research associate doing work in physics while here at the Institute, on leave from the University of Canton in China. The interest in the club has been sus- tained, and instead of the member- ship decreasing during the year, as is common with most organizations, it is actually increased. Unfortunately, only four members were able to come at the time the club picture was scheduled. PHOTO CLUB VARSITY CLUB MEMBERS OF THE VARSITY CLUB WEAR A MINIATURE IN GOLD OF THE VARSITY MT. THOSE men who have made Varsity letters in football, basketball, track, and baseball, and those Who have made two letters in the minor sports tennis, cross country, and swim- ming, are eligible for membership in the Varsity Club. Varsity men, in addition to the members of the coaching staff, set their purpose as the furthering of the interests and ideals in athletics. Beside offering athletic support to the students of the school the Varsity Club sponsors an annual dance given off the campus to Which all members 70 0f the student body and alumni are invited. This year the dance was held early in April at the Altadena Golf Club. CLIFF GROVE's orchestra sup- plied the music for this affair. An additional feature of the year's program is the annual stag being planned for the end of the year. This program is an alumni-undergraduate get-together and bullsession and is always a well enjoyed affair. Many old faces are seen in this annual re- newal of acquaintances and many old yarns are swapped over the foaming beer and winding pretzels.

THE STUDENT BRANCH OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS PLANS NUMEROUS INSPEC- TION TRIPS. THE trips are to give the student an actual view of engineering. By courtesy of the society, meetings of the local sections are open to the student allowing him to hear many important developments flrst hand and to come in contact with men ac- tively engaged in the profession. Many men have attended the regular dinner meetings of the Los Angeles section during the past year.

One important meeting had MR. R. L. MILLINGER as the speaker. His subject was on hEngi- meeting in China. Several very interesting inspection trips were sponsored by the A.S.M.E. during the past year. Trips were taken to the diesel power plant in Vernon, t0 the Pasadena sewage disposal plant in Alhambra, and t0 the Colume bia steel plant in Torrance. These trips were taken not only by the mem- bers of A.S.M.E., but by any others who were interested. 71 A. I. E. B. THE 'STUDENT BRANCH OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS HEARD PROFESSOR SORENSON AT THE FIRST MEETING. THE December program deviated from the purely technical to present Mickey Mouse to the Institute through the courtesy of the Walt Disney Studios. An exhibit was pre- sented showing the Disney process and was accompanied by the showing of several of the cartoon features. A meeting of general interest was that in which MR.

Bridge Lecture Hall was the scene of an illustrated lecture on the development of the Westchester County park system in New York. This program was presented by MILO KETCHUM, one of the students. Students and friends enjoyed an inspection trip of Los Angeles har- bor. A party of nine made a three- day trip to Boulder Darn. A. S. C. E. HONOR KEYS AN HONOR KEY IS AWARDED TO EACH STUDENT WHO EARNS ONE THRU PARTICIPA- TION IN STUDENT ACTIVITIES. THE schedule for the maximum num- ber of points a student may receive for participation in any activity was revised this year. For some activities the number of honor points was in- creased, including the major sports, and the award for editor of the year book, the Big T, was made an Honor Key, the same as is received by the president of the student body. These are the only two positions which may receive 25 honor points. Unusual this year was the award- ing of two Honor Keys to men who were not members of the Student Body. The keys were awarded to HAROLD SHILLER, for two terms edi- tor of the California Tech, and t0 ARDEN LANHAM, the editor of the Big TW Both of them had left school at Christmas time. SHILLER had earned the key this year before leaving. Upon with- drawal from school, LANHAM offered to complete the publication of the Big Th if the student body desired, so his key was in part earned after leaving Tech. The awards for the previous year are always made by the new Execu- tive Committee during the third term. They voted that no limit on the number of Honor Keys to be awarded should be made, but that '74 each fellow who had earned one should receive it. . Twenty-three Honor Keys were awarded. Among those receiving them this year are four who had re- ceived them last year: JAMES GREG- ORY, ROBERT SHRECK, CHARLES THOMAS, and FRANCIS WYATT. Those fellows receiving keys this year are listed.

ALTHOUGH not classed in the Insti- tute catalogue under the title of extra curricular activities, there are some activities which are participated in by the many members of the stu- dent body. Therefore it has seemed fit to include in the section a brief description of these. However, let the warning be given that one plays at his own risk. The games are frowned upon by the Insti- tute and should the victim tthere is always a victimy desire to press his case, he has the entire protection of the law. The illustrations show one of the inter-class games that is played. Some of the members of the Junior class have been watching part of the under- classmen playing a similar game so they joined in. A Sophomore was tagged it. An alert cameraman was present. The pictures tell the story. Other games are also played. On page 89 are another series of pic- tures of a dunking in the pool. This, like watet-hghting in the houses, is more common among freshmen. It should be said that the games indulged in are really nice games which may be played even by Juniors should the Sophomores seem to be having too much fun with the Ftosh or the profs. 75 AN INTER- CLASS GAME PART VI R. I. Stirtom THE STUDENT HOUSES ARE NOW BECOMING MORE UNI- FIED AND ARE ASSUMING DISTINCT CHARACTERISTICS. EACH house has developed its own group spirit, and in all of them has come a more fraternal feeling. New this year are the individual house pins that Fleming and Dabney Houses have adopted. The other houes may or may not do likewise in the future. Most important is the growing good fellowship within the houses. Unfortunately the development has brought no lessening of the dis- tinctions between residents and non- residents. Since the first year of the house organization the house men made moves to dominate school activities. Some have felt themselves somewhat superior and thought, quite vehemently at times, that all student body officers should be elect- ed from among the house ranks. But they have not always succeeded, and in spite of the one-quarter diseount on points for the non-residents, they have for two years had the Inter- house TroPhy. The large non-resident group has never become well organized. Those fellows who have desired to develop a unified group have been handi- capped by the lack of interest of many of the fellows which their group was necessarily forced to in- clude and were further handicapped by the distastefulness in some respects of the arrangements in the club building. This year the arrangements have, in part, been much improved and the fellows have started a posi- tive program to have better organiza- tion and have made moves toward more cordial relations with the resi- dent men. The student body of Cal Tech is small, and for the unity of the school it is hoped that the move toward cordial relations among the house groups will be successful. In addition to the Intramural sports twhich are described in the Athletics section starting on page 111i there is house competition of quite another sort. Although usually accompanied by just as much noise and fight, the contests are limited to verbal action, physical force being barred. For the past two years Blacker has proved themselves masters, and as evidence llABE LINCOLN stands on their mantelpiece. tThe small bronze statue of LINCOLN is a perpetual challenge trophy for oratoryy This year a group of ten paintings were hung in the houses. The pic- tures were donated by MRS. HENRY EVERETT. MRS. EVERETT, who is an associ- ate of Fleming House, is a resident of Pasadena and possesses a large collection of fine paintings. She has become well known for her gener- osity in loaning her paintings to vari- ous schools to be hung. 77 STUDENT HOUSES BLACKER HOUSE BLACKER HOUSE BEGAN ITS CAREER WITH A MOST ENER- GETIC PRESIDENT. HE WAS the sort to start house activities off with vigor. The second year presented a trial. It was feared that somehow by this time the novelty might have worn ofIr and it would be hard to keep interest at the high level at which it had been during the first year. The new president, though very different from his predecessor, proved to be none the less capable. Shoemaker, president; Pitzer, vice-president. r7 Thus Blacker House started out on its third year with a group of men; yet these men are bound together by a common spirit.

All are brought together in this one secluded corner of the campus to produce an effect of security, satisfaction and accomplishment. Levi, secretary; Cox, treasurer. All this has been managed not en- tirely without dilhculty, but with very little difficulty. It would be hard to say just how it has been accom- plished. There has been very little need for llhouse spirit ballyhoot That they enjoy doing things-all sorts of thingseis evidenced by the variety of activities in which so many, to be sure nearly all of them, take part.

BESIDES these outward manifestations of being a social body, the men of Dabney House were busy throughout the year building up true friendships and storing away pleasant memories for later years. The first event on the social cal- endar was the Halloween Dance. For this dance an orchestra was en- gaged and the House was made over to appear as a haunted house. The climax of the evening was the bring- ing in of a coihn, out of which a very much alive corpse arose and shrieked, iiOh, my God! I'm dead! After the house settled down from the Christmas vacation, BILL POW- ER RICHEY and his buddies put on one of the niftiest smokers that has been seen around these parts for nigh onto fifty years. Cider Howed like water, and paper tfaket money was stacked high on the roulette and black-jack tables. The house slickers set about separating the house decent Bark Row: McClain, Tracy, E.

Returning from the ridiculous to the sublime, the house gave its an- nual formal dinner-dance off the campus for the first time, at the Club Casa Del Mar, in February. The men voted that corsages should be taboo, so FRANCIS SHERIFF T RACY had to content himself with only two orchids. Perhaps the outstanding event of. the social season was the formal dance given to Dabney House by DR. and MRS. WILLIAM B. MUNRO, associates of Dabney House. This dance was given in the month of April at the Valley Hunt Club. Athletic activity was marked by occasional victories, and the victory of a Dabney House basketball team, the Casabas, in an independent league. The team was composed of CAPTAIN TRACY, JOHN LITTLE, FORT ETTER, GORDON HSUDS EWING, and JACK CORTELYOU, LEVAN GRIFFIS. The boys of Dabney House have developed some unique hobbies.

THIS year introduced a departure from custom in freshman policy. A period of pledgeship was inaugurated during flrst term. Frosh had to wear beanies and were denied some priv- ileges. At the end, the frosh were formally initiated into house mem- bership.

It is believed by the members that no faculty member can be found Who is more in sympathy With the students' point of view. F LEMING HOUSE RICKETTS RICKETTS HOUSE HAS HAD A SERIES OF SOCIAL EVENTS WHICH WERE NUMEROUS AND ALSO VARIED. THE most pretentious affair given by this house was a formal dinner dance at the Biltmore Hotel. This party was attended by more than thirty members and their friends. For the Halloween party, in the fall, the lounge was made to resemble a barn- yard as closely as possible and over- alls, straw hats, and gingham dresses were the things to wear. A little later the rougher element in the house, which, while not so apt With the ladies, still has its peculiar social talents, staged a very tough smoking 84 Back Row: Wood, Engelder, M.

Gambling games, broken by many visits to the bar, formed the principal diversion of the evening and early morning. It is Wise, Perhaps, not to mention the appearance of the room after the depraved participants had finally gone to bed. A theater party of some twenty men attended SIDNEY HOWARD'S excellent play, The Late Christoper Bean, at the Pasadena Community Play- house. In the spring a sport dance is to be given, and still later a beach party. A great deal of credit for the stag- ing of these affairs goes to VERNON NEWTON and PAUL ROBERTS, who also exercised their unusual talents in organizing a marble tournament, which was won by BLYE GOCKE. The two resident associates who each lived at Ricketts House for part of the year were MR. HORACE GIL- Pcarne, president; Newton, vice-president; C. Baket, secretary; Roberts, treasurer.

One of the social events of the Christmas season was the going away party of the house president and the treasurer who left to heed the call of sports writer and the other to prepare himself to be a light of a young girYs life. Both men were popular and it was a sad parting. JOHN PEARNE was later elected prexy and PAUL ROB- ERTS treasurer. 8S RICKETTS NON-RESIDENT THE NON-RESIDENT CLUB PRO- CLUB VIDES THE SOCIAL OPPOR- TUNITIES FOR STUDENTS NOT LIVING IN THE STUDENT HOUSES. Aside from the social interests of the club, a keen athletic rivalry is created between the Non-Residents and the houses. For the last two years the Non-Residents have won the Inter- house athletic trophy. The first temfs social program consisted of several football dances held in the lounge after games, and an informal dance at the civic audi- toriurn. During the second term two social functions were held. The first was an 4 . 't' , I informal dance which was held in Dabney Lounge. Later a successful scavenger hunt was held. The com- mittee in charge prepared a clever list of articles for the participants to collect. After the hunt the couples enjoyed a radio dance in the club lounge. The regular annual stag opened the third termts festivities. This affair is always one of the most popu- lar activities of the year. Before the revelry began the oHicers for the coming year were elected. The mem- bers succeeded in choosing a very en- Back Row: E. Wheeler, Potter.

The music by PAUL LAUts BAND gave the dance the first sign of novelty and peppy entertain- ment that has been seen in some time. The affair was acclaimed to be a bowling success and the enthusiasm shown proves that the Non-Residen'ts can be socially minded if given the chance. The new program is intended to improve the present waning good relations between resident and non- resident students. The Dabney dance was the first under the new policy of having house guests at our social functions. NON-RESIDENT CLUB STUDEN T LIFE Rick em H 0 use Cloristmax Party Gambling Den Fleming Court CAMPUS LIFE IS VARIED. THAT IS THE PART OF COLLEGE RE- CALLED BY FELLOWS MANY YEARS FROM NOW. STUDENT groups in each house de- velop special interests of their own. They are the characteristics which differentiate one house from another. Dabney plays ping-pong; Ricketts has taken to marbles; Blacker likes bridge and Fleming urugged individualists do as they darn please. Just after lunch is over, walk from one court to another. No one is in Blackerls spacious court; they are all in the lounge draped over the furni- ture and lolling against the wall, the fellows read newspapers or play bridge. Only the fellow who turns over the phonograph records looks up when you enter the door. I In Ricketts, the fellows talk hur- ridly in the corridor a few minutes and then scatter to their rooms. A few in the court lean their chairs against the wall in the shade of one small tree. Fleming House members are all over the court in various stages of undress. Exposed to the sun they sit and beef . The magazines found in the houses are: Fleming, Fortune; Blacker, Va- riety; Ricketts, Vanity Fair; Dabney, Ping Pong Rules. Peculiar t0 Ricketts is their annual party for the .little Mexican Boys. Blacker alone indulges in court-foot- ball and publishes a Blotter? Flem- ing frosh engage in chemical war- fare with Ricketts frosh, and Dabney plays ping-pong. They all have taken to gambling stags and beer and a few fellows gather for afternoon tea and talk in Doc. EAGLESON,S Chinese apartment. The Non-residents are all over the campus. They dorft care much for the Club. THE crowd that was in front of Throop for the election rally resented having the swell speeches interrupted by a shower of water-fllled paper bags that rained down from a Win- dow above. A tWO-second investiga- tion netted W. POTTER a free bath in the physics pool. He wanted to play ui' t? c ' with water, so they gave him lots of it. POTTER wore his baseball pants the rest of the afternoon. Incidental- ly, notice how placidly iiFINN DRUMMOND goes about cracking wal- nuts.

A LARGER percent played football, intercollegiate and interhouse, than Notre Dame has ever claimed. A mediocre track squad turned out to be one of the best dual meet teams Tech has ever produced. The cou- rageous souls that banded together to form the Cal-Tech Rugby Club got more publicity than any other sport- showing real competition against U.S.C. and the Bruins. The erstwhile abandoned sport of basketball was given renewed attention When several fellows banded together and paid their own expenses. Baseball claimed as many men as any other major sport. Members of the Cross Country team showed up well. Great promise is offered next year from the Class of ,37. For the first time in several years Tech Frosh had a swimming team. Coached by two of their own mem- bers, they took the conference meet and also broke some of the records.

MOST of this spirit can be attributed to the leadership and instruction of the coaches of those teams. Backbone of Tech's coaching staff is that grizzled, popular veteran of many years, FOX STANTON. For thirteen years, the hFox has taken what material he had ften consider- 92 ed poor, and drilled into those men the spirit of sportsmanship and co- ordination with their fellows. Outsiders remark on the Fox's ability, with the limited amount of men and the time at their disposal, to turn out well organized teams. A familiar axiom in the local sporting world states, that year in and year out, his teams always pull at least one upset. It is true.

An unofficial, but interested volun- teer on the campus, is HARCOURT BULL. Since the foundation of the rugby team last year, not a recognized team but made up largely of Cal Tech men, he has diligently coached the boys in the arts of the British game. In the absence of any coach, ROB- ERT BARRY and JOHN AUSTEN, two freshmen who are both capable swim- mers, coached the first Frosh swim- ming team Tech has had in several years.

THE men had given up two weeks of their summer vacation in order to return to school and Pursue their gridiron activities. For the first of these two weeks before the opening of school workouts were held both in the morning and afternoon, while during the second week only after- noon workouts were held. In this group of loyalists were to be found only five lettermen, ROOKE, MATHEWSON, GREGORY, MORRIS, and SHARP. From this meager nucleus COACH STANTON was forced to build anew his grid machine.

In addition to the seven conference teams, Cal Tech had games scheduled with two powerful free-lance teams, Loyola University and Fresno State. The opening game of the season was with Loyola on the Friday night before school opened. After the opening of school for the fall term prospects became brighter with 'the enlarged turnout. The return of two lettermen of former years, NICK UGRIN and JOHN HARSHBERGER was more than welcome. The varsity football squad enjoyed 95 F OOTBALL Tlae Vanity F OOTBALL The Swab; two interesting trips this year. One early in the season up to FRESNO to play Fresno State and one down to San Diego to play San Diego State, the last game of the season. The FRESNO trip was quite delightful. An old Colored porter on the Southern Pacific mistook the Cal Tech ag- gregation for the UCLA. Bruins traveling north to tackle the Stanford Indians. This porter commended some of the men upon their flne game against Washington State and wished them ttlots of luck against Stanford. The SAN DIEGO trip was equally as pleasant. Through the kindness of an influential citizen of the city the team was shown through the working part of one of the new, gigantic, all-elec- tric liners, much to the delight of the WEES on the squad. On the whole, the team was a well- 96 traveled group, even though on a small scale. Only two games were played in our back yard at the Rose Bowl, the Occidental and Pomona games. For the rest the team jour- neyed to Wrigley Field for a tussle with Loyola, to Redlands to tackle the Bulldogs, to Whittier to play the Quakers, to La Verne to tackle the Orange and Green, and to Santa Bar- bara to play the Roadrunners, one of the surprise teams of the conference but no surprise to the unimpressed engineers. At the start of the season the Tech team was undeniably green, but it progressed steadily throughout the season and finished a vastly improved team. : Back Row: Bender, Rollow, Pehoushek, Swartz, Kimura.

DAN was a hard worker and on occasion rose to heights far beyond himself. Both MATHEWSON and GREGORY will be gone next year, but BOB JONES, a tackle made over from a center this year, will help to make COACH STAN- TON forget them. JONES is quick and aggressive and has the makings of a good tackle. DON ROOKE, at halfback, had a bit of hard luck this year with injuries but, regardless, he was one of our 98 Harshberger, Mathewson, Gregory, Everett. most valuable players. LEE MORRIS, a three year letterman, served at the other halfback position. He was one of our fastest backfield men and gained ground freely on sweeping end runs. STEVE HART served also at halfback and with a speed nearly equal to that of MORRIS was an equal- ly valuable player; an excellent de- fensive man, only a sophomore, with a bright future. At fullback this year the Tech team was graced by the pres- ence of WILLIS DONAHUE and BOB PARKER, a sophomore with a world a Bob Jones, Donahue, W. Johnson.

WILLIS DONAHUE was one of the seniors out for the first time for Varsity football. His ability is testified for by the fact that he made his letter. WALLY JOHNSON, at quarterback, thrilled many an audience by his dash- ing, rabbit-like runs, an able quarter- back and a splendid defensive man. The ends this year were numerous and good. JIM MOORE, a sophomore, was one of the best ends to play for Dietrick, Rooke, Morris. Tech for a long time. Unfortunately he was lost to the team in mid-season. His place was ably taken by BOB DIETRICH. DIETRICH was an excellent all-around player but excelled at snag- ging passes. JACK BINKLEY worked at the other end and no harder work- er graced this years squad; a fighter. HARSHBERGER played an excellent and consistent game at end. Howland, Heinrich. The guard position was well cared for this year. FRANK DAVIS wrought havoc with many a conference team, especially Whittier, With his slashing style of play. BILL EVERETT, at run- ning guard position, made good use of his speed. NICK UGRIN played lots of good ball for Tech this year at guard. He filled many a hole in the center of the line. JOHN NOLAN, an- other sophomore, carried on nobly at guard. HOWLAND, a senior, worked 99 F OOTBALL FOOTBALL hard and long and, despite serious handicap due to injuries from a pre- vious season, won his letter. The center post this year was ably held down by AL HEINRICH. A fight- ing center and one of our most valua- ble linesmen. BOB MCINTYRE played 100 Mich 3: M .a s - h. ,. at center and at fullback; he will be appreciated more next year. There are numerous other men Who should be mentioned.

Men play football at Tech with one ideal, 'lto get as much out of the game as possible. This years team has .. played. mediocre football. The number of de- feats overshadows the number of victories. Still every conference game was hotly contested. Cal Tech main- tained herself at a par with her time honored rivals, Occidental and Po- mona, with respect to conference standing.

The new conference cham- pion, Redlands, won only a dubious victory, while Occidental had her turn to bask in the sunny smile of lady luck. In short, to the outside world Cal Tech had only an ordinary team, but one Which was interesting to watch, not only because of its open and thrilling type of play but also because of its tenacity to keep trying and lighting all the way. Cal Techls football teams are not A 2.: w, Au 7 i good teams in the phySical or mechan- ical sense, but they are good teams in the mental sense, and in this case mental sense does not mean smart- ness. It means the will to do onels best, to enjoy the gameand to play it as a game, to take a hard knock and come back for more. In this sense, Cal Tech reigns supreme, and the school can be justly proud of her football team. No other team in the COuntry has a finer attitude. 101 F OOTBALL TRACK The Varsity BOW lone: THE TRACK TEAM PROVED, VERY UNEXPECTEDLY, TO BE ONE OF THE STRONGEST OF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CONFERENCE. WHEN CAPTAIN FRANCIS WYATT flrst issued the call for track, things looked bad. In fact COACH ttFox STANTON stated that it looked likely to be the poorest Cal Tech track team he had ever coached. There were a few men who stood out as first place winners. These wete CREAL, FERVER, ROBERTS, and DAVIS. The team was unexpectedly helped by the addition of SCOTT, who developed into one of the best middle distance men in the t conference. The team rounded into Back Row: Webster, Sharp, Sheppard, Jones, Romoli, Ellery, Morris, Hebel, Sluder, Veysey. Center Raw: Dr. Hanes, Smith tManagetL Roberts, Rector, Scott, Heath, Craig, Chamberlain, Creal, DougIas, Howland, Coach Stanton. Front Row: Milan, Blodgett, Fewer, Everett, Wyatt tCaptainL Rooke, Gregory, F. Davis, R. Jones. Occidental track determined to beat a powerful and highly touted Oxy team. The rout was started properly by the quartet of Tech hammer- throwers who shut Oxy out in this event. From this time on Tech was ahead, and at the end it was found that the dope had again been upset by a Tech Victory of 72V2 to 67V2. In this meet CREAL broke his own school record in the 440 and took form after a few weeks of I practice 95' and after taking a beating from the strong Glendale Junior College squad came back to win from Pasadena Junior College 68 to 63. For the flrst conference dual meet of the season the team went to the 102 second in the 100 to distinguish him- self as the star of the team. The field event men amassed the largest num- ber of points with FERVER and ROOKE tying for first in the high jump, JONES winning the discus, EVERETT the shot, ROBERTS the javelin, and DAVIS the hammer. At the Southern California College Relays held the next week at River- side the novice four-man mile relay team made up of BLODGETT, DOUG- LAS, VEYSEY, and CREAL broke the meet record in winning first place. The next week at the Long Beach Relays the four man two-rnile relay team made up of VEYSEY, SHEPPARD, CAPTAIN WYATT, and BLODGETT broke this meet record and were fol- lowed in third place by another team from Tech. Cal Tech also took third places in the sprint relay and in the sprint medley relay to make a very favorable showing in the meet. The second conference dual meet was held at Claremont where the championship Pomona squad snowed our hard fighting team under by a score of 90 to 50. The high light of this meet was when CREAL, after tak- ing second in the 100, came back to beat the Conference champion, PLUMB, in the 220, making the exe cellent time of 21.7 seconds. This definitely established CREAL as the leading sprinter in the conference. SCOTT came into real prominence in this meet by taking first in the mile and second in the two mile. TRACK AP Cred! Carrol Craig TRACK William Everett Clazm'e Scott mez'; Wyatt On the following Friday the squad beat Loyola by 90 to 40, as a means of relaxing after a hard week of exams. In this meet the whole squad did well and looked forward to a week of rest. The following week at the confer- ence meet the Tech team was greatly handicapped by a fme collection of colds and sprained muscles. In spite of this a very favorable showing was made. CREAL took fourth in the hun- dred and then came back to Win the 440 easily in the time of 50 seconds Hat, again setting a new school rec- ord. The trio of hammer throwers, DAVIS, UGRIN, and JONES made an impressive showing by placing first, third, and fourth respectively. WEB- 104 STER created the sensation of the day by placing second in the broad jump. FERVER, handicapped by a bad cold, tied for third in the high jump, and the relay team made up of CHAMBER- LAIN, VEYSBY, BLODGETT, and CREAL ended a successful day by placing third. The remaining conference dual meets were divided between a loss to San Diego and a victory over Whit- tier, to fill out a season which was very successful in spite of the gloomy outlook at the beginning of the season. The twenty-nine men on the track team showed again that the fellows from Cal Tech can upset the sport writerts dope . THE CLASS OF '37 had a very success- ful track season. The Frosh did not win the Conference meet, but they did win all but three of their meets. In the practice meets they won every time except in the meet with South Pasadena. In this meet the Frosh put up a good light but were nosed out by about ten points. They won all of the dual meets with other Conference Back Row: Benton, Scott, W. Miller, Gates, Austin, Wing, Ebbie Wileman tCaptainL Horkey, Nojima, Coach Layt Stanton. From Row: Stratheam, Drum- mond, Dorwart, Montag, Keens, Vye, Smelling, Nellis. teams except the one with San Diego. In the Conference meet new competi- tion turned up, and we did not do so well. However, there were several of the men who did very well in the meet. HOYT AUSTIN took flrst, STRATHEARN third, and ZIMMERMAN tied for fourth in the discus. RALPH BENTON took second, ROSENCRANZ third, and ZIMMERMAN fourth in the hammer. GEORGE KEENS and WIL- BUR SNELLING came through with third and fourth in the quarter, while SMITH won third in the half mile and WALLACE fourth in the mile. The re- lay team, composed of SMITH, SNEL- LING, KEENS, and WALLACE, won fourth place. HORKEY and GATES tied for fourth place in the high hur- dles, and HORKEY won fourth place in the low hurdles. As a whole, the team was better than average. 105 The Frexbmen Frank D4013 BASKETBALL The Varsity Tlae Freshmen THE BASKETBALL TEAM WAS ORGANIZED BY THE MEMBERS WITHOUT SUPPORT FROM THE ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT. THE success of Tech sports is gaged by this. The only returning letterman was CAPT. BIRDSEY, however the VOl- unteered services of COACH ZEDIKER combined with the good will of the players cracked into shape a smoothly running organization, even with the handicap of a two months start had by the rest of the Conference. Next season will probably pull us out of the cellar as practically all of this years lettermen are returning: CAPT.- ELECT JAHNS, DAUBEN, HUMMISON, GATES and COLVIN. The only letter- men not returning are CAPT. BIRDSEY and VAN OSDEL, two valuable men will be very much missed next year. 106 Back Row: Bucknell tManagerl, R. Hallanger, C. Davis, L.

After a series of practice games the Beavers opened the Conference Season With the Whittier Poets, last yeafs champions. Tech won the game, 10-8, to start the season. It is not yet finished. COACH ttLAYT STANTON devel- oped a good Freshman baseball team this year considering the inexperi- enced material with Which he had to work. After winning a practice game from the second string Varsity, the Fresh lost their hrst Conference game to Occidental, 6 t0 1. 107 BASEBALL Tbe Varsity Tbe Fresbmen CROSS COUNTRY The Freshmen The Varsity SWIMMING Wyatt, Bucknell, Sheppard, Veysey, Hebel. THE SWIMMING TEAM WERE FORTUNATE TO SECURE THE P. J. C. POOL FOR PRACTICE. THE Varsity has five men Who may account for points in the conference meet: NICHOLSON, BOYKLIN, and GOCKE in the sprints; SALISBURY in the dives; and SHERBOURNE in the breaststroke. The Ftosh Team looks forward to a successful season, and has sched- uled meets with South Pasadena and Muir Tech High Schools and also with the UCLA. and Occidental Frosh. Their prospects are the best in years with GATES and ROSENCRANZ in the dives; PENN, DUSEL, and DRUMMOND in the 50; GATES, HOROWITZ, ROSENCRANZ, and DION in the 100; in backstroke FENZI, WYLIE, and AUSTIN, who has threatened the conference record; in breaststroke LYCETT, CHAPMAN, and BARRY, who has already this year come Within .3 of a second of equaling the conference 100-yard record; CHAPMAN, PENN, and DUSEL 108 Montag, Nojima, Wing, Drummond, Keens. in the 220; and FARNHAM, CORN?

I CONFERENCE CROSSCOUNTRY CONSISTS MAINLY OF THE AN- NUAL MEET AT ROSE BOWL. THE practice meets of the season sorted out the runners to DOUGLASS, BAKEMAN, and DOURSON in first, second and third rank respectively. However, DOURSON, who injured his shoulder, was not able to run. Redlands, Who copped the meet the two years previous, placed their men in the first thirteen positions. Tech did about as well as the remain- ing outfits, however. The lettermen were: BAKEMAN, DOUGLASS, DOURSON, WYATT, HEB- EL, and BUCKNELL. Managers SMITH and ALLARDT are to be commended upon their excellent work. The strong frosh squad showed up TENNIS The Vanity The Frexbmen Captain Grimes, Brown, Gay, Ferguson, L.

NAGAMA, WICKETT, and the follow- ing numeral winners ran: MONTAG, WING, MOORE, KEENS, GROBECKER, DRUMMOND, and LYCETT. FIVE VARSITY LETTERMEN RETURNED FOR THIS YEARS TENNIS TEAM. THE returning members were PAT- TERSON, REYNOLDS, GRIMES, GAY, and BROWN. The other two members were GRIFFITH and SALISBURY. T hese fellows have had a successful season. Although they lost to Redlands, they completely blanked out Oxy, Whit- tier, and Pomona, not losing a match to any of the three schools. In outside matches, victories of 4-3 were gained over the University of Arizona and 8-1 over the faculty. Inevitable de- feats were given by U.S.C. and UCLA. Although the team was second to Redlands in the Conference tourna- ment, PATTERSON took the singles, and PATTERSON and GRIMES were J. M. Smith, Yale, Warner, Fenzi, Bryan, Hoffman, Bussard, Dowd, Mason, Tsubota. runners up in the doubles. In the Intercollegiate tournament at Ojai, PATTERSON reached semifinals, los- ing to TIDBALL of U.C.L.A. All of the team except GRIMES and BROWN are eligible for next year. In View of their lack of experience, the showing of the Frosh team is surprising. FENZI, BUSSARD, and DOWD are the only three who have had previous experience in matches. Although they lost their frrst tournament to Redlands, 5-4, against the Oxy Tigers the team ttpulled a cat out of a bag, to win 7-2. Pomona also fell before them. The champion- ship could not be won because of the defeat by Redlands, but the team con- sisting of FENZI, oDown, SMITH, WARNER, HOFFMAN, and BRYAN taccording to ranky took second place in the Conference Tournament. Because minor sports may be put- sued in ones leisure and require less time away from the rigorous schedule of studies, they are more popular than the major sports of football, basket- ball, baseball or track. 109 RUGBY THE SUCCESS OF THE 32 SEA- Action Tlae Team SON CAUSED THE hCAL TECH RUGBY CLUB TO BE ORGAN- IZED. While not ohicially sanctioned by the athletic department, the Club certainly brought as much publicity to the school as any other sport. Being the foregoing seasorfs cham- pions, and through the efforts of JACK BINKLEY, the manager, matches were promoted with all the ubig shot teams : U.S.C., U.C.L.A., and the San Francisco, Hollywood, and Pasadena Club. MR. HARCOURT BULL, a prominent PASADENA athlete, render- ed his unofficial services as coach. Tech dropped their flrst game to the Trojans. Lured by the prospect of a ubig game about 25 men came out for practice in the two weeks pre- ceeding the match, and considering that the Trojan football team played rugby en-toto, the local boys didnt do half badeholding the score to 21-14. Two weeks later at Westwood, Tech droPPed a game to the Bruins by a single try. Both games showed Tech superior in technique but lack- ing in weight for scrum and that little 110 bit of illegal blocking that seems to be creeping in from American Foot- ball. We hope the game remains the jolly old game from England. Men on the team were: JOHNSON tCaptainy, BINKLEY tmanagery, MILLER, MATHEWSON, JERAULD, JURs, T AYLOR, BENTON, ANDERSON, DAVIS, COX, PAHOUSHEK, LYCETT, MCMICHALS, DICKINSON, FUSSELL, HOLTOM, HARDING,WALLACE, BUSH, MANN, CLOYD, ZIMMERMAN, and MOORE. COMPETITION FOR THE INTER- HOUSE TROPHY THIS YEAR HAS BEEN KEEN. HOWEVER, such a close race as last yeafs in which the Non-Residents nosed out the Blackerites by a quarter point, could not be expected. Last FALL the smooth, powerful Non-Resident baseball team fought its way through the stiffest opposi- tion in years, to come out with a clean slate and the title in that sport. Among the victories was a 1 to 0 thriller over Blacker and a heart- breaking two-game series with Rick- etts. The strength of the otf-campus men was shown by the fact that hve of them, SWANSON, WRIGHT, JAHNs, CLEVELAND, and POTTER, were plac- ed on the mythical All-Campus nine. Again, this time in track, the Non- Residents convincingly demonstrated their superiority when they annexed the interhouse meet by a comfortable margin. BLODGETT and CREAL emerg- ed double Winners, while SCOTT and F. DAVIS looked good also. It is inter- esting to note that all four of these men later became varsity track stars. With DAUBEN, BISHOP, BEAL and COMPANY playing great ball, the Fleming eleven mowed down all corners to snag a football title which was theoretically already in the bag for the mighty Ricketteers. Exhibiting a strong defense and a dazzling, wide- open offense, with GIBBS on the re- ceiving end of long passes, the Flem- ing men couldnt be stopped.

The Non-Resident, however, came back to far out-class all rivals in cross-country. Such stars as SCOTT and BAKEMAN were just too good. Again, in the second term, the pen- dulurn of supremacy swung back to Fleming. Even though HUMASON, BISHOP, and DAUBEN were out for varsity basketball, there were enough good players left in that house to win all its interhouse games. Captain BOCHE was easily the outstanding player of the league. The wrestling title was fought over by Ricketts and the Non-Residents, with the former eventually coming out on top. As this book is going to press, the Non-Residents, led by SUMMERS and COLVIN, admittedly have the inside track to the tennis pennant, while their handball team of SCHUMAN and HASKINS is battling it out with Blacker for supremacy. WOODWARD and SCHUMAN are the classiest hand- ballers seen on the campus for years, each having won all his matches. The interest in interhouse athletic 114 Switzer, Weaver, Gocke, Gilbert. competition has increased during the past year. The system of having managers for the intramurals has been successful, and to them goes credit for the success of the sports. Many fellows have suggested that even greater emphasis should be placed on intramural sports because of the greater number of men who would benefit by the program. THREE PERPETUAL TROPHIES ARE AWARDED ANNUALLY TO OUTSTANDING ATHLETES. THE WHEATON TROPHY, won by BOB SHARP this year, was presented as a perpetual trophy by a former Yale football man, MR. WHEATON. It is awarded on ability, leadership, and scholarship. The RAWLINGS TROPHY was ob- tained by COACH MUSSELMAN to honor once a year, the best all-around baseball player. Last year it went to DICK RUSSELL, the Captain. The SCOTT TROPHY for tennis is the award for winning the annual tournament. SCOTT, a former tennis letterman, donated the cup this year. PATTERSON took the honors. DISCOBILUS, a presentation to the houses of the class of ,31, is a sports challenge trophy. It sits at present on the Fleming mantelpiece. The INTERHOUSE TROPHY was sented by the class of 32. It is presented to the house having the greatest total number of competition points at the end of the year. The Non-Residents copped it last year but this year we don't dare predict a win- ner, so close are the five houses. 115 TROPHIES I ntmmuml Trophy Discobolm Bob Sbmp, Wbeaton Trophy Winner Leonard Pattemon, Scott Trophy Winner PART VIII Reflection; Wi1li4m B. McLemU 116 THE FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM MADE A BID FOR THE CONFERENCE TITLE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. THE time then rolled around when it was customary for the freshman class to give the annual freshman student body dance. Held in the beautiful Vista del Arroyo Hotel, carried to perfection by the smooth- flowing rhythm of DON RICARDdS ORCHESTRA, the dance was a tremen- dous success. The freshman class had again accomplished! Having been informed that it was customary for the freshman class to put on a student body assembly, and having learned that most of these assemblies were miserable failures, the freshman class, under the droll direction of WALTON WICKETT, suddenly broke precedent and put on a Freshman student body assembly that even had the serious seniors rolling in the aisles. The freshman class had attained dis- tinction. Since they had been defeat- ed by the sophomores in the annual brawl, the freshmen gave the Rodeo Dance, a dance given by the losers t0 the winners. The amiable rhythm of PAUL LAU,S ORCHESTRA and the floor of the Gold Room of the Civic uAudn made the dance a pleasurable affair. FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE CLASS THE MAJOR ACTIVITY OF THE CLASS OF 36 WAS INTRODUC- ING FRESHMEN TO THE PHYS- ICS POOL. THE first task of disiplining of the frosh came in a long, drawn-out series of Rodeo contests. The soph victory was rewarded with the Rodeo Dance, held in the Civic Auditorium. The enthusiasm With which the sophomores entered athletic activity 118 is remarkable. Sophomore support on the football squad was invaluable. Again these men proved their worth by furnishing practically all of the material for the varsity basketball squad. On the track also, sophomore disciples of the fleet-footed Mercury turned in splendid performances to further their athletic reputation. The highly successful sophomore dance was held this year at the Cali- fornia Country Club. THE REMAINDER OF THE ORIGINAL 160 ENTRANTS IN 1931 Now FORMS THE PRESENT JUNIOR CLASS. THE Rodeo Committee saw to it that the freshman-sophomore class rivalry was worked off in a proper manner. When the ball which had been procured for the push-ball con- test split, the committee dug up some shovels, procured a rope, filled some sacks with sawdust, and let the war- ring classes tight it out by a tug-01 war and a sack-pack. The juniors proved their superior- ity in the interclass track meet, gave one of the most outstanding assem- blies 0f the year, and fully contributed their share to the success of the Junior-Senior prom and garden party. A closely trimmed budget was the keynote of the policy which the class offlcers used for a successful year. JUNIOR CLASS CLASS OFFICERS Fred King, Izmz'or President Wendell Millet, Freshman President Steve Hart, Sophomwe President CLASS SPIRIT IS THE STRONG- EST IN FROSH AND SENIOR CLASSES. THE sophomores and juniors seldom have much group feeling. The mu- tual feeling of being frosh is gone, and they haventt yet the feeling of seniors as fellow suffers. How- ever, each class carries on activities as described, and the men responsi- ble for their success are the officers. FRESHMEN WENDELL MILLER was elected president. The other ofiicers were RICHARD ROSENCRANZ, vice presi- dent; RALPH BENTON, secretary; and VICTOR ZEZUKEVICH, treasurer. SOPHOMORES STEVE HART was the soph presi- dent; FRANK DAVIS, vice president; EUCLID WATTS, secretary; and AL CREAL, treasurer. 120 jUNIORS FRED KING was junior president; LAWRENCE STUPPY was vice presi- dent; KENNETH PITZER, secretary; and DON WEBSTER, treasurer.

AT THE beginning of the school year 1950, the Class of 1934 made its de- but into the scholastic and social life V at the Institute. At that time, one hundred fifty enthusiastic members made up its roster. Instead .of the embarrassing and otherwise painful indignities usually inflicted upon the inexperienced Freshmen, the mem- bers of the Class of ,34 were wel- comed by their more experienced brethren as fellow students. A gen- eral policy of helpful instruction met them on all sides ta few interesting exceptions are here overlookedy It cannot be argued, however, that the Class of 34 have suffered from a lack of school spirit, because of the out-grown idea of Freshman hazing.

The successes of the Class of 1934 stand as arguments in sup- port of the principle of abolished freshman hazing. The seniors are now graduating into a world Which in its post-depres- sion era does not offer a very friendly appearance. The fellows can only hope for no worse treatment than they received as frosh at Tech.
