Warner MacLachlin 4 A message from President Warner Carnegie Institute of Technology has been educating young men and women for fifty years. Although this is a relatively short period in the history of an enduring institution, it is long enough for substantial changes to take place both in the institution itself and in the society which it serves. I should like to give a very brief resume of how the educational program at Carnegie has evolved up to now and perhaps hazard a guess or two about the future. On October 16. 1905, a new educational institution in Pittsburgh first opened its doors. It was named the Carnegie Technical Schools, and comprised the School of Applied Science, School of Applied Design, School of Apprentices and Journeymen, and Margaret Morrison Carnegie School for Women. At the start these schools gave three-year programs of sub-collegiate level leading to a diploma. Courses were given to prepare men for work in the various branches of engineering, in architecture, and in the building and manufacturing trades, and to prepare women in such vocations as clothing design, foods, and office work. And evening courses were offered so that those who held jobs in the daytime could further their training. These programs were well suited to the needs of the community at the time. In five years enrollment jumped from 120 to 2224, and demand for education on a higher level became more insistent. To meet this need the three-year curricula were soon revamped into the standard four-year programs of college level. In 1912 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania approved the charter authorizing the institution to grant degrees and approving its new name, Carnegie Institute of Technology. From this point on, the stages in the development of education at Carnegie are less sharply distinguishable. A few milestones in the forward progress might be mentioned. As the bachelor's programs became more firmly established, graduate work was begun. The first master's degree was conferred in 1914, the first doctor's degree in 1920. Along with the development of graduate studies came the encouragement of research as an essential part of the school's activity. As advancing technology changed the industrial and social world, professional education at C.arnegie was adjusted to suit the changing times. The objective was shifted from giving the students the maximum of details and know-how, to developing an understanding of basic principles and experience in using them. And liberal studies, which had had a place in the programs from the beginning, were given an increased importance. They were organized into the four-year curricula in order to develop the humane values and a sense of social responsibility. The combination of liberal and technical studies in the several colleges is directed toward the education of the whole man and woman. It seeks to prepare our graduates to continue to learn throughout their lives, to rise in their professions according to their talents, to become active and responsible citizens in their community and nation—in short, to live full lives and to serve society. What is my prediction for the future of education at Carnegie Institute of I echnology ? Rather than attempt to forecast what will come, I prefer to suggest what in my opinion seems desirable. I believe that our educational objectives are sound and well conceived to fulfill the needs of students themselves and of society. I see no substantial revision of them in the future. But achieving them ever more effec- tively will continue to challenge the best efforts of faculty and administration. There will be a modest growth in the size of the enrollment, but I would hope for a continuing emphasis on quality, not on bigness. This institution has the potehtialities to become one of the greatest of its kind in the world, and it will do so if adequate resources are provided. Whatever else the future may bring about, one thing seems certain on the basis of the past. As the needs of the community and the nation change, our educational objectives will be adjusted to meet those needs. Just as the institution expects its graduates to serve society, so will Carnegie Institute of Technology serve. The past is prelude to tomorrow. 5 Dormer Hall Macl.achlin Donner Hall Donner Hall is an ultra-modern aluminum, steel, and glass structure which serves as the focal point of the dormitory residents of Carnegie Tech. Its attractive yet utilitarian design exemplifies the spirit behind the present and proposed expansion of Carnegie Tech’s physical plant, expansion which will eventually include entirely new fraternity housing, a new student union providing sufficient extracurricular facilities for all the students, and a complete stadium and athletic plant in the Tech Bowl. Donner Hall was dedicated in the spring of 1955 to the late William H. Donner, the noted philanthropist who contributed greatly to its construction in his will. The four living levels in Donner Hall provide housing for approximately two hundred fifty male students of Carnegie Tech. In the first floor lounge are two television sets, accommodating the varied preferences of the residents, as well as ample room for the weekly movies sponsored by the Men's Dormitory Council. The basement recreation room contains billiard and table tennis equipment, and even card tables for the inevitable bridge games and problem-working sessions. Also located in the basement is a snack bar which is a non-profit convenience for all the dormitory residents. Another facility for the use of all dorm residents is the basement laundry room, complete with automatic washing machines and dryers. A sub-basement is to be used as a field house for the proposed new Tech Bowl. Designed to meet optimum conditions of living comfort and operational efficiency, Donner Hal! is both practical and pleasant in its appearance. The attractive pastel walls in the rooms are actually cement block, and the furnishings and paneling are of solid pine, handsomely veneered and varnished. These adequately lighted surroundings arc those intended to be the most conducive to study, and certainly seem to fulfill their purpose. Aside from the actual physical facilities themselves, Donner Hall provides maximum opportunity for the individual student to adjust to group living. Although this is a little-recognized facet of the purposes of a dormitory, it is one of the most highly important. All college students must eventually learn to adapt their actions or behavior to the interests of society, and a good dormitory will provide an excellent training ground for this vital part of every education. Donner Hall, both in its design and operation, offers a great opportunity for college men to develop not only as competent members of their profession, but also as responsible and able members of society. 7 School of Industrial Administration MacLachlin 8 School of Industrial Administration Keeping pace with the growing trend toward scientific management in industry, the School of Industrial Administration was completed in 1951 to accommodate the facilities necessary to effectively further the aims of scientific management. Founded by William Larimer Mellon, it was designed along modern functional lines, and is constructed of yellow brick and steel. The elegantly simple facade fronts on an imposing lobby of highly polished granite, into which murals have been etched depicting various industrial scenes. The second and third floors of the building are furnished with metal and leather chairs and individual tables which allow a variety of classroom arrangements, depending on the size and purpose of the class. Individual offices are also provided on these floors for the members of the faculty. The first floor contains the main offices opening off the lobby and a large, panelled auditorium which has proved a needed addition to the campus facilities. The auditorium scats are equipped with writing arms so that the theater can be used for special class purposes. In addition, a reading room and lounge arc located on this floor. The reading room maintains a collection of the latest business and industrial periodicals, and is adjoined by two soundproofed conference rooms for the use of small discussion groups. The lounge's comfortable furniture is arranged for informal conversation groups and contains a small kitchen to aid in the preparation of refreshments. The building has proved its versatility and adaptability in the five years since its completion, and its facilities have provided a useful environment for the students' work. 9 Morewood Gardens MacLachlin 10 Morewood Gardens Morewood Gardens has become an integral part of the campus life of a Carnegie Tech co-ed. It supplies her with more than adequate living facilities at a surprisingly low cost. There are 233 rooms available which, at capacity, are able to house 429 girls. Morewood held that capacity this year until Thanksgiving. Now there are five vacant rooms which are used for visitors to our campus. Each room is equipped with a chest of drawers, a bed, a bookcase, a desk, and a chair for each girl. Closet space is plentiful. There are 126 baths, some privately attached to the rooms, and others not attached. On each floor there is a utility room complete with an ironing board, washtubs, brooms, mops, and a hotplate. To the outside viewer Morewood appears to be one building but, upon examination it is found that there arc actually four separate buildings connected by an open lobby. Each section is known as a tower. Each tower is divided from the next by a firewall and has its own elevator. Before Morewood came into ownership of the college it was a very exclusive apartment house. To have the address 1060 Morewood Avenue at that time showed that one had very good taste. Carnegie Tech took it over to be used as a dormitory for girls and opened it in the fall of 1948. The dormitory, however, is not only a place to live to the students at Carnegie Tech. Since the present Carnegie Union is not big enough to accommodate all the activities that the campus sponsors; many groups hold their meetings in Morewood. The Dorm Council Room, the Blue Room, the Private Dining Room, the Library, and the Recreation Room serve as meeting places for various organizations. Women's Dorm Council, Pan Hellenic Council, Cwens, Mortarboard and Omicron Delta Kappa are a few of the groups that regularly use Morewood Gardens for their meetings and socials. The girls are also able to take advantage of Morewood s central location to the cultural center of Pittsburgh. Within a few minutes walking distance can be found Phipps Conservatory which conducts several flower shows each year, the Carnegie Museum which has one of the most authentic and lifelike collection of murals of prehistoric animals ever seen in this area; and also Syria Mosque, where the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performs, is near at hand. Morewood Gardens plays an important part in the over all educational process that each and every Tech student undergoes because of its facilities, its nearness to a city of varied interests, and also because of the women who reside there. A nice view of Morewood Gardens can be seen on the opposite page—Morewood Gardens in the spring. II Administration 13 John C. Warner, President The combination of a country school mother and a love of science moved Dr. J. C. Warner from the family farm near Goshen. Indiana, to the fields of education and science. In some thirty-one years, he has given good teaching and books to education, he has added knowledge to science; and during World War II, he contributed valuable-scientific and administrative service to America. After rising from Instructor of Chemistry through the academic ranks to Professor and Head of the Department and Dean of Graduate Studies in the College of Engineering and Science, he has given his friendly strength and his full experience in education and administration to the office of President of Carnegie Institute of Technology.

It was Tech's seventh consecutive winning season under head coach Dr. Fddic Baker. The season was begun against Lafayette with a 41-14 defeat at the hands of a much stronger team. At Johns Hopkins the Tartans downed the Blue Jays 26-6. The game was characterized by Tech's strong running attack. Again on the road the Skibos battled the Red Devils of Dickenson. Fine backficld play enabled the Tartans to win 26-6. This year's Homecoming game provided the Temple Owls as opponents. The returning Alumni saw the Skibos sccover a Temple fumble to score the game's first touchdown. The final count turned out to be an exciting 18-16 victory for Tech. The following week the Skibos ruined W. J.'s homecoming with a 16-0 victory. A wet and sloppy field reduced most of the action to punt exchanges. The Tartans made it five in a row with a 12-0 win off Franklin and Marshall. Offensively the game did not break open until the second half when Tech scored both of their touchdowns. The following week at Latrobe the Bearcats of St. Vincent proved to be a tough opponent. The final seconds of the first half saw St. Vincent score a touchdown to lead 7-0 at half time. Early in the third quarter a sustained drive for Tech tied the score at 7-7. Neither team was able to break the deadlock and the game ended 7-7. The most important game of the year, Tech vs. Westminster, was won by the weather. A sudden snowfall prevented the ground crew from removing the tarpaulin and the game was canceled. Don Hrosik, Bud Karcher, Marshall Brown, Frank Wengryzn, and Roy DeVries will be missing from next year's starting lineup. Bud Karcher was voted most valuable player by his teammates.

By finishing second to Geneva in the Tri-State meet it became the eighth consecutive season in which Tech finished first or second in this meet. The big men for Tech this year were Bill and Larry Bryant. Bill Whitman, Eric Otternik, and the captain. Jim Flynn. In the first meet of the season Tech showed they were to be feated by downing the Harriers from Jeannette 22-38. The following week Tech suffered its only defeat of the season as they were outrun by a much stronger Geneva team. After their loss to Geneva the team came back strong to down West Virginia on their home course 24-32. The Thinclads followed through by winning their next meets from Slippery Rock, Case and Westminster. In the meet with Case, Tech set a new Case record with Bill and Larry Bryant, and freshman standouts Bill Whitman and Eric Otternick crossing the finish line in a four-way tie for first place. On November 4 Tech traveled to Slippery Rock for the Tri-State meet. They again finished second to Geneva but gave Geneva a tough fight with four out of the six Tech runners placing.

However, our hopes fell as the squad was beaten soundly by West Virginia and Duquesnc, then to have Slippery Rock and Westminster slip past in the closing minutes of two thrillers. Still in their slump the Tartans fell to the Quantico Marines by a margin of eighteen points. Tech snapped their losing streak against Penn State after making up a 20-8 deficit. The team hit for 48 percent of their shots as Fieler, Boyd, Frank, Nathanson, and Ficery all hit for double figures. After being defeated by Indiana State Teachers College and Bucknell, the squad reached the mid-season point with a two-win and eight-loss record. Revenging an earlier defeat Tech edged the classical Mountaineers in one of the most exciting games of the season. Tech won by two points as the West Virginia center failed to tap in the foul shot which Hot Rod” Hundley purposely missed in an attempt to get the two points. Tech proceeded to win next time out as they downed a weak Thiel team. Alan Frank's nineteen points failed to be enough as the team lost to Pitt by one point after being behind 45-29 at half time. Dickinson proved to be no match for the sharp shooting Tartans as they romped to victory by forty points. In their home game with Duquesne Tech showed confidence and determination as they led at half-time 34-30. In the second half the N.I.T. champs showed too much depth as they won in the fourth quarter after many players from both teams fouled out. 169 Coaches M. Theodore, M. Cratslcy, and I. Fassinger. Geneva topped us by a last second free-throw in a game that was close all the way, but successive victories over W. and J. and Case proved the Tartans' fire wasn't dead. However, the fire died as they lost to Pitt, Westminster, and Penn State. The loss to Pitt was in overtime, after Tech came from behind to tie the game. The final record was eight wins and thirteen losses. Wayne Nathanson, Dick Fieler, Ralph Mocker, and Jim Boyd will be missing from next year’s squad. These four have been valuable men to the varsity squad for the past three years. Wayne was in the starting lineup for the last two seasons and was a good steady team player. Dick was last season’s high scorer with his one handed set shot and saved many a game for the Tartans with his accurate shooting. Ralph Mocker was one of the most accurate set shots in the district and was voted this year's most valuable player. Jim Boyd was the team's hustler and play maker. Although not a high scorer, Jim usually hit for double figures. Ouch” 170 Left to right: Frank Sobolewski, Charles Goetz, Francis Miller.

Front row: Tony Chamay, John Goughnour, Dick Shipley, Dave Shuck, Mike Litch, Dave Harrington, Frank Shuck, Dave Renshaw, Marlyn Jakieb, Manager; and Coach Sofield. The Tech Mermen, under the fine coaching of Claude Sofield, turned in a record of six wins and four losses for the 1955-56 season. With senior Dave Shuck acting as captain, the Tartans started the season off right by beating Slippery Rock 57-27, West Virginia 67-17, and Westminster 58-25. They then lost a fairly close one to Kent State 35-49, but retaliated by claiming a 54-30 victory over Fenn College. The Mermen ran into trouble against Allegheny and Obcrlin, losing by scores of 39-45 and 33-51 respectively, but settled down to take Case Tech by a 41-36 margin. At Grove City the Mermen found it rough going to the tune of 35-49, but a 57-27 trouncing for W. J. put a bright finish to the 1955-56 season. At the Penn-Ohio meet, the Mermen took a fifth place with freshman Jim Long winning a medal for third place in the backstroke event. Among the top men on the team this season were Jim Goldman in the 50 and 100-yard dashes, Iiob Shuck in the 220 relay, Frank Shuck and Bob Hilles in the backstroke events, Dave Harrington in the 200-yard medley, Tony Chamay in the 100-yard dash, Dave Shuck in the 440-yard freestyle, Dick Derringer and Bob Scuilli in the breaststroke events. 175 Track The prospects for this season were bright but a lack of depth was evident in the field events. Many of the mainstays in the running events had returned but much of the success of the field events depended on the new freshmen. After the warm-up meet with the Jeannette Harriers was rained out the Skibos visited the Rockets of Slippery Rock only to be defeated 77l -531 £. Arnie Olds won his two mile run while Captain Dick Swaney won the 440 and helped the winning Tech relay team of Eric Suggs, Bill Heineke, Bill Bryant, and Swaney. Freshmen Bill Whitman and Carl Temp-lin proved pleasant surprises in winning the 880-yd. run and the pole vault, respectively. Joe Frick won the other first with a sparkling 171 foot javelin throw. In the following two meets—W J away and Case at home —Coach Carman’s main stays and newcomers came through with 87-44 and 80-51 wins. First row: Percival Chuck, John Mihm, Frank Smith, Alan Zuckerwar, Bill Wittman, Joe Frick. Second row: John Hayden, Bob Hamilton, Bill Bryant, Larry Bryant, Eric Ottervik, Sheldon Cremer, Coach Carman, Manager Early. Third row: Lou Polaski, Paul Hauser, Dick Swaney, Jack Recker, Arnie Olds , Roger Strauss, Bob Hammer, Eric Suggs, Alan Frank. 176 Westminster proved to be too much for the Tartans who were only able to capture 6 firsts and were defeated 73-58 in the Skibo bowl. Firsts for Tech were Dick Swaney in the 440, the relay team. Bill Whitman in the 880, Larry Bryant in the 2-milc run. Jack Rccker in the shot put, and Carl Templin in the pole vault. In a meet that was decided by the last event Tech outlasted Geneva for a 66-65 victory. At one time the Tartans were behind 51-30 but John Mihm won the broad jump and the 120-yard hurdles, Dick Swaney the 440 for the fifth straight time this year, Bill Whitman the 880, Larry Bryant the 2-mile run, and Alan Frank the high jump. The final record was a 3-2 count but with many juniors, and newcomers with another year of experience, next year's team should be one of Tech's finest. 177 Tennis For the first time in a good many years one of Coach Frank Moses' teams had to settle for a mediocre season. The difference between this season and the more rewarding ones of the past was largely due to a lack of experience. Of the five newcomers on the squad, three were freshmen. Charley Shaul, a letter-winner of last year of whom much was expected, was unable to play because of an ailing knee. Coach Frank Moses 178 Kneeling, left to right: Marlyn Jakub, Everett Crisman, Karl Yu, Fran Wickham. Standing-. Steve Rowley, Al Glasser, Rick Naworski, Larry Dussoir, Charley Shaul, Coach Frank Moses. Next year’s prospects look much brighter if the returning players with a year of experience behind them live up to the promise they have shown. Sophomore Larry Dussair showed promise playing in the second singles slot and freshman Joe Smeets was impressive in his matches. Karl Yu and Rich Naworski. both juniors, were steady in their matches and should prove to be valuable next year. Freshmen Tom Bieg and Everett Crisman with this year's experience should also help Coach Moses get Tech and Tennis back on top in the tri-state circles. The Thistle wishes the seniors leaving, Al Glaser, Steve Rowley, and Fran Wickham the best of success. 179 Golf Mike Fedor Tom Schorr The Skibo golf team opened its season by playing host to an unhospitable West Virginia team. The Skibos were tripped in a close one, 41 2-21 2. After the Pitt encounter was rained out the Tartans traveled to Geneva and won a close match 9V£-81 . Tom Schorr was the medalist with a 78 while Fred Heider shot an 80 and Mike Fedor an 84. The following week Tech was downed 4-3 by W J in a match that was decided by the low score. The winner proved to be 77. Fred Heider was low for Tech with a 79. In the Invitational Tournament at Mead-ville undefeated W J bested second-piace Tech by only 6 strokes to win the tourney. Tom Schorr was the medalist of the tournament with a sharp 75. On the following day at Westminster, the Skibos won 12-6 with Fred Heider the low man with a 79. The final of the season was a loss at the hands of undefeated W J. Special emphasis should be placed on the fact that Coach Bill Rogers has a team that is coming.” Only one of the squad, Mike Fedor, is graduating, so the golf future of Tech looks bright.

Dick Hodnik 181 Jerry Coon Fred Heider Athletic Awards A1 Cerrito Award Ralph Mocker, a junior mechanical engineer from East Pittsburgh, was awarded the A1 Cerrito Memorial Trophy. This trophy is awarded to the best all-around varsity basketball player of the year. Ralph was selected for the trophy by the coaching staff, athletic director, and trainer because of his excellent set shooting and his all-around aggressiveness. The award is presented by the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity in honor of A1 Cerrito, a member of the fraternity and the varsity team, who died of a rare disease in his junior year, three years ago. Athlete-of-the-year Jim Boyd, a senior civil engineer from Brownsville. was the unanimous choice of the athletic panel for the Tartan varsity athlete-of-the-ycar award. For the past three seasons Jim has been one of the mainstays on Tech’s basketball team. His constant aggressiveness and hustle were responsible for many of the Tech victories and he was often called upon to stop the scoring threats of the opponents by guarding their high scoring men. The winner of the award is selected on the basis of sportsmanship, all-around ability, and value to the team. Joe Pash Award Each year the Joe Pash” trophy is awarded to the outstanding football player of the season. This year the award went to Bud Karcher. Bud, a senior electrical engineer from Carrick, was a hard hitting guard on the Tech offensive line and a linebacker on defense. Bud has been on the first team for four seasons and was a standout the last two seasons. His constant good play will certainly be hard to replace. The Joe Pash” trophy is awarded by the Phi Kappa fraternity in honor of Joe Pash, a football player who was killed in World War II. 182 C-Clan Awards Football—Ed Karcher Cross Country—Larry Bryant Basketball—Ralph Mocker Track—Dick Swaney Tennis—A1 Glaser Golf—Mike Fedor Swimming—Dave Harrington Varsity “C” Club First row: Alan Frank, Jim Boyd, Joe Szewc.

DIRECTOR OF INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS At the beginning of this school year, assistant professor Earl J. Birdy, Jr. was appointed Director of Intramural Athletics at Carnegie Tech. He succeeds Mr. David See who left to accept a position at Oswego State Teachers College in the physical education department. Mr. Birdy came to Tech in 1951 as an instructor in physical education and swimming and assistant to Prof. Haynes in the intramural department. Besides his regular duties Mr. Birdy has coached Tech’s intramural volleyball team to two consecutive championships in the Eastern Collegiate Tournament and two second places in the tournament. In addition he has earned his Master’s Degree in education at the University of Pittsburgh. 184 Intramural Athlete-of-the-year This year the Intramural Athlete-of-the-year award was presented to Mike Pascarella. The award is presented by the Tartan at Spring Carnival to the senior who is the most outstanding intramural athlete as chosen by the members of the Intramural Managers’ Club and Intramural Board. The award is given because of the athlete's participation, ability, and sportsmanship and his promotion of the Intramural program. Mike, a senior mechanical engineer, participated in nearly all of the various sports as a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity. Mike was also a member of the Intramural board and the Intramural Managers’ Club. 185 Intramural Football The intramural football program began September 26 with 16 organizations represented by 18 teams in three leagues. The candidates for the league crowns demonstrated their power early in the season with ATO and DTD, KS and SN, and PK, SAE, and DU showing that they were the teams to beat. As expected, KS easily won the Kiltie League crown with SN following them into the playoffs. DTD won the Tartan League championship with a hard-fought upset victory over defending champs ATO. The Skibo League was not decided until the final week of play when Mike Fedor led a spirited SAE team to a close victory over PK 20-17. Previously, DU had dropped out of contention with a heart-breaking overtime loss to PK 20-19 and then later lost a close game to SAE. The school championship was won by KS who defeated PK 9-8 and DTD 21-16 in two thrilling contests. As a climax to the IM football season, SAE’s quarterback, Mike Fedor, an all-league choice for three seasons was elected the most valuable player of the year. Fedor has led his team to two undefeated regular seasons in the past three years. 8ack row: Chuck Weaver, Jim Rod, Jack King, Fred Moog, Back row: Mike Fedor, Mike Pascarella, Ken Laughery.

Four leagues were formed and the first and second place teams of each league fought it .out in the playoffs. After stiff competition the ATOs emerged victorious after beating the Grads two out of three in the playoffs. Earlier the ATOs had beaten Phi Kappa and Kappa Sigma to earn the right to meet the Grads. 188 Crowds jammed the gymnasium waiting for the games to begin. Jack Recker receives the serve Basketball Intramural basketball enjoyed another successful season with 42 teams competing in 6 leagues. The addition of twelve new teams over last year's total illustrates the increasing interest in the intramural program. The championship was decided on intramural night when the Kappa Sigs met the independent Rockets before a large crowd at the gym. Both teams had previously remained undefeated in the semi-final round which included the two first place teams from each league. The Rockets took an early lead and then the game settled down to an exciting seesaw contest as both teams strove to forge-ahead. Goetz paced the Rockets while Keim’s accuracy and Montini's brilliant defensive play countered for the Kappa Sigs. Bill Ace Adams was voted Most Valuable Player.

Bad weather kept the softball season from getting an early start, and as a result the season was very short. The 52 teams were divided into 8 leagues with 4 teams in each league. This permitted only a three game schedule, but enabled the first two teams from each league to get into the playoffs. The Obelisks, who lost to SN in the finals last year, went undefeated this year and won the school championship game by defeating the Forbes St. A.C., Architects, and PK A” by scores of 10. 8-0, and 11-4 respectively. Their success was due mainly to the pitching of Tom Sweeney and the tight defense backing him up. In their first playoff game Sweeney struck out 15 as they beat Forbes St. A.C 1-0.

The BSR team had defeated KS in early season play 61 as KO KO Lay scored five goals. The championship game was a different story as the more aggressive KS squad defeated BSR 4-5 in a sudden death overtime. BSR appeared to have the game sewed up when they led 3-1 on one goal by Ko Ko Lay and two goals by Chuck. However, at the end of regulation time the store was 3-3. Long scored twice and Her ig once for KS. The overtime resulted in some of the fiercest play of the game.

Its chief functions are: responsibility for the success of allschool events; financial supervision and budgetary control of most student organizations; responsibility for providing necessary services for organizations and for the student body; and the responsibility for all campus fund raising drives. 1955-56 was the most successful year Council has had in a long time. Under President Ed Pasierb. Student Council, working with the administration, took the initial steps in the move to build a new student union. The Campus Chest campaign, headed by Janet Bishop, was so well planned and so successful that it was used as the model of a good campaign at the annual Campus Chest Convention in Philadelphia in April. In the spring. Council was busy revising student government on this campus. The mid-year elections made Ed Fcigenbaum president, Diane Farrington vice president, and Janet McPeake secretary. Acting on a proposal submitted to it by Mortar Board and ODK. Student Council's Constitution committee wrote the constitution for a new, expanded student government. In the last year of its existence here, the Student Council worked hard and successfully, laying the foundation for good student government at Carnegie Tech in the years to come. MEN’S DORMITORY COUNCIL OFFICERS This year, Men's Dorm Council following the past years traditions provided the residents of the dormitories with many varied services. Among these, the most important one was the opening of the Donner Hall Snack Bar, thus providing the dorm members with a badly needed place for a midnight snack. Some of the other services provided by Dorm Council were the fully equipped darkroom for photography enthusiasts, the weekly movies shown in the Donner Hall lobby, various social functions held in conjunction with the Women's Dorm Council, the traditional Spring picnic, and many others. This year. Dorm Council decided to have a Dinner Dance instead of the Spring formal, it was held in the Gateway Plaxa and it turned out to be a very successful evening. As in past years, Dorm Council sponsored many intramural teams, several of these having won all-school championships. PRESIDENT ............ G. P. Lang VICE PRESIDENT.....Luis de la Macorra REC.

The new and more liberal rules had been in effect for a year, and the fifteen-minute grace period for lateness had proved successful. Aside from rules, the Women’s Dormitory Council completed many other improvements. A television set and a phonograph were purchased for the Recreation Room. Also, a second ping-pong table was added. At the year's end, the members again began preparing for the new year and the traditional party for the new freshman girls. 241 COUNCIL OF FRATERNITY PRESIDENTS The Council of Fraternity Presidents and junior representatives is the governing body for the fraternities at Tech. As coordinator and sponsor of fraternity functions and mediator of interfraternity and fraternity-school problems, C.F.P. has had a busy and successful year. Again this year, C.F.P. provided and operated booths for the Shadysidc Boys’ Club Carnival. Also, in the spring, C.F.P. sent members to the Children’s Home in Pittsburgh to help in a repair and clean-up program. Rushwcck was, of course, supervised by C.F.P. in the fall and the Court of Justice enforced the fraternity rules and regulations whenever conflicts arose during the year. The annual C.F.P. Formal was a big success this year as was Greek Sing and Swing weekend. PANHF.LLENIC COUNCIL Panhellenic Council is a supervising body composed of two representatives from each sorority, with officers elected within the group. Panhel encourages unity and good relations among all sororities, and between sororities and the entire student body. It also provides a central meeting ground for all Greek women and makes them aware of their responsibilities to each other and to the whole campus. Unification of rushing procedure, sorority competitions, and charitable activity is a prime function of the Council. Each sorority contributes ideas and gives of their time in conjunction with general activity at the time, and has a voice in making regulations to cover the event. Such events are the Panhellenic Formal, Carnival Queen Campaign, and Varsity Varieties. The Greek Sing and Swing Weekend is planned and executed in conjunction with C.F.P., the fraternity governing body. 242 SECRETARIAL CLUB OFFICERS The Secretarial Club, a departmental organization, draws its members from all interested Margaret Morrison secretarial students. The first meeting of the year, and the Christmas, stressed social growth. A banquet honoring the seniors is held at the end of the year. Other programs for the year emphasize professional and cultural growth by having speakers from various professions. Thus the club carries out its three-fold purpose of social, professional, and cultural growth for the benefit of all of its members. PRESIDENT .............

This is done through a program of scholastic activity and professional training. The organization is affiliated with the national Society of Automotive Engineers, the local section of which works closely with the student branch. Through this connection, the students have the opportunity of meeting practicing engineers, and arc able to learn of new engineering developments. Of equal importance is the program of student activities which includes plant tours, meetings, social activities, technical movies, and the Student Branch speech competition in which students present papers on technical topics. AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CIVIL ENGINEERS The A.S.C.E. Student Chapter provides the student member the opportunity for the beginnings of professional associations. This is accomplished through field trips, professional engineer and student speakers, and joint meetings with other societies. Members relax and enjoy themselves at smokers and parties, and the annual banquet acquaints the members with the faculty and associate members. The student chapter is also active in intramural athletics whe«r teams are entered in several sports.

This is the problem that the staff faced in the fall. Since this is the 50th edition of the Thistle we asked the Student Council for a birthday gift to help us finance a better book. Student Council lent a sympathetic ear to our plea and we were on our way to putting out the book you arc now reading. This year we paused briefly (and expensively) to illustrate some of the material progress Carnegie Tech has made in the past few years, and we tried to find out what was in store for the future of Tech from President Warner. One of the best types of groups to work with is a cheerful, cooperative one, and that is what this year's staff was. Molly Rudy with her impish smile and Dan Saxton with his laconic sense of humor livened up many of the staff meetings, while Neil Bernstein wondered if the book would ever get finished on time. Jim Boyd told us how much money we could spend on the yearbook, and of course we did spend it. All during the year the photographers were busy on campus. The great deal of time and energetic effort they have contributed to the yearbook, and the experience they have gained have benefited all concerned, and we are very appreciative. Don Celender, quiet and hardworking, is head of the art staff, which supplied the book with the original art work. The copy preparation for the campus organizations took many hours of Peggy Heath's time. Through the determined efforts of Bob Garrison, this book has been a sell-out. The activity and organizations sections of the book was competently managed by Barb Casey and Joan Zepfel. The month of May arrived and activity in the Thistle office reached a crescendo pitch as the seniors' section was being prepared by Jeanie Walker and Sis Wohler, and the fraternities and sororities sections were completed by Barb Hudecck and Barb Moore. Meanwhile Molly Rudy concentrated on advertising for the book which supports half of the price of the book. Many other staff members aided in the preparation of this book, but unfortunately space will not allow us to mention all of them. We hope that they have benefited as much from their work on the yearbook as we have enjoyed the experience of working with them.

The schedule is tight, and affords the weary staff little respite from the toils. Every week, the layout staff spends Friday evening and Sunday afternoon working with the material collected during the week by the writers and photographers. By Sunday night, the race is on to get the copy downtown to the printer by 6:30 a.m. Monday, and then to get the finished paper out to Tech by noon Tuesday. Although this is the culmination of a week's effort, it is no resting point, for by Tuesday, the staff is already in the midst of another supreme effort to write and collect newsworthy material amidst the distractions offered by schoolwork and complaints of dissatisfied subscribers. 256 TECHNICAL John Bcgovich This year the Technical Staff, working in closely knit organizational set-up, tried to keep alive the standards of high quality material presented in the professional style that has made Tech's technical publication one of the top in the country. In the early fall of 1955, the Technical was awarded the Pi Delta Epsilon first prize for college technical magazines. To provide more people with the opportunity to see our magazine and work with it, a new department was opened on the Technical Board—this was Public Relations headed by Peter Urbach. There was so much interest paid to this department that for the next year it shall be expanded both in staff and function. This year’s April theme issue will be centered around towns characterized by only having one industrial firm in its midst. Entitled One-Company Towns,” it proves to be a noteworthy attempt at investigating social, political, and economic conditions in three such towns. With the Government trying to foster industrial moves from the large cities to the underdeveloped areas in our country, the Technical feels they’ve put their finger on a present subject which should prove interesting to both industry and govern- teft t0 right: Wayne Carman, Terry Sharp, Margie Katz, Lou Salvandar. ment.

The SCOT has completed a fairly clean—but not lean year. Boosted advertising revenues and record sell-outs on the last two issues kept us in the black. The perennial question loomed: whether it is better to err on the literary (ahty) or the raunchy side. We veered in both directions at times, printing the best of either that we could lay hands on. and pursuing the same sterling policy we've always had. which is to please some of the people some of the time. We kept the lines of communication up with meetings in Skibo. on the Cut. anywhere we happened to meet. We became quarterly and started giving more for a quarter by cutting the number of issues for the total volume of material. A new high in respectability was reached when we garnered a couple of faculty articles and a faculty advisor, and corresponded with Tom Lehrer. another college humorist. SCOT articles, verbatim, began popping up in other college magazines. Without fanfare we completed our fifth year of continuous publication, ever onward and upward, ever sensitive to the clamor of our public, and undaunted by the fearsome jealousy of the TARTAN.

The average bank employee receives an additional S2I in fringe benefits for every S100 in salary. A career in banking offers the opportunity to further your education if you so desire. Many banks offer free courses in money, credit. linking. economics, and other allied subjects. Banking is a profession of prestige and respect.
