I am unable to comment with full justice upon his achievements in the industrial world, upon the fact that he achieved his position of leadership through hard and diligent application, but I do want to say just a few words about him as a person and about the work that he did in education. The personal and educational ideals of Carl Lomb reflected a clear-cut understanding of the basic issues of life. They reflected the application of fundamental principles to new situations in a way that was almost stark in its simplicity. He believed that intelligence and industry should be applied to the day's work and that excellence should be pursued in every task. He believed that no man could perform all the tasks of citizenship unless he were a productive worker in the social structure. It is upon this premise that the work of the Institute is based. He was a modest man, and frequently made the comment that no matter how much a man has done he should never boast. He lived modestly and without ostentation and his many benefactions will never be fully known. His contributions of time, energy, and leadership were legion. Both individ- uals and institutions benefited by his gifts and were guided by his helping hand. His very nature typified the strong and rugged characteristics of the early settlers who made America what it is today. He had a quality of per- sistence that would not tolerate defeat if his intellect told him that the goal was worth achieving. Carl Lomb has wrought his own everlasting memorial in the hearts and memories of his friends. He has left the indelible imprint of his personality and leadership upon the lives of countless men and women-old and young. Through the institutions, the industries and the civic organizations that were privileged to know his leadership, his vision and ideals march triumphantly on. WM ' CARL F . LOMB MAY 3I,I854 UAHY 26,IU PP1ESIDENT'S MESSAGE HIS is an appropriate occasion for me to review for all Institute students and graduates the basic principle that the Institute is committed to a policy of continued counseling for all its students and graduates. The counselors of the various departments stand ready to help with respect to problems of employment, problems of personal growth or advancement, or any other problem which confronts you. While it is expected that contacts with those who have completed the formal portion of their education will be somewhat fewer than with those who are regularly attending classes, we look forward to maintaining cordial relations with all of those men and Women who have been associated with us. The problems of life are sufficiently complex that, if one is to grow and advance intellectually and economically, one must continue studying current problems. In your attack upon these personal and professional problems the Institute counselors are always ready to help. Sincerely yours , WM i .180 DR. MARK ELLINGSON APPLIED Ant PREVIOUS to 1910, the Art Department of the Institute occupied quarters in the Eastman Building. It was during this time that Mrs. Susan Bevier located in Rochester, coming from New York City, taking residence in the present Columbia Apartments across the street from the Eastman Building. She was a person greatly interested in young people, and also in art. When she found that just across A the street there was a school of art, she be- came acquainted with its activities, and pro- vided in her will for a bequest of a sum of money for the erection of an Art School in memory of her daughter. The present Bevier Building is the result of Mrs. Bevier's gener- osity, and it is known as the Alice Bevier Memorial Building. This building was completed and occupied in 1910. It is interesting to know that the Bevier Building is erected on the site of the home of Nathanial Rochester, the founder of the city which bears his name. The Rochester house was razed to make way for the Bevier Building. A plaque commemorating this fact is placed on the Spring Street side of the building. Keeping pace with the requirements and developments of the passing years, the various aft courses have been strengthened and a constant scrutiny is made with the purpose of maintaining the work on as high a level as is conceivably possible. Indi- vidualized education has always been necessary in the teaching of art, but with the individualized program developed in the last few years, the plan of study has made the art program even more effective. CLIFFORD M. ULP Counselor .20. CHENIISTHY . osT people think of the chemist as being a person Who works in laboratories with bottles, test tubes and queer shaped glass containers, and whose chief occupation is to determine the chemical composition of any compound that is at hand. By certain opera- tions he discovers the constituents of an ore, of a food product, or of a metal. Sometimes he is supposed just to try things and thereby, it is popularly believed, he makes great dis- coveries revolutionizing great industries or making use of new processes or products. Some parts of this picture are true but the fact is that chemical laboratories are systema- tized and specialized and are organized to get quick and useful results. Furthermore, many processes involve mathematical calculations, great accuracy, the manipulation of delicate equipment, and the observance of very rigid directions. Even in the research laboratories, workers perform limited and specialized operations. The Chemistry Department aims to train men for supervisory and management responsibilities. The kinds of jobs held by graduates of the past ten years clearly demonstrate that Institute training does lay the foundation upon which the wide- awake man may build. Many graduates occupy very responsible positions in industry today and with more experience and study they vvill continue to move up the promo- ALFRED A. JOHNS Coumelor tion ladder. -21. ELECTRICAL HE Hrst graduates of the Co-operative Electrical Course received their credentials in June 1915. From this time more than four hundred young men have completed the co- operative electrical program and have located employment in various branches of the elec- trical field. The high personal and scholastic standards required previous to graduation is reflected in the achievements of this group. Many now hold important places, and even the most recent graduates are located in posi- tions with great promotional possibilities. These men are known for their high ideals EARLE M' MOP-ECOCK and standards, their competence in the field is C0 'm'l0 recognized by employers throughout the state, they have given a real meaning to the Co-operative Electrical Diploma. We, of the Electrical Department Faculty, take pride in their friendship and comfort in the belief that we have contributed in some small Way to their success. That you, the graduates of 1939, will maintain the traditions of those who preceded you, that you will give your best to your employers and your communities, is not questioned by this faculty. Our interest in you will not terminate with completion of classwork at the Institute, but will continue for years yet to come. Of all the contributions which you have received and given during your stay at the Institute, may you prize most, the friendship of your teachers. o22. FUUII AIJIVIINISTPIATIUN oon Administration caters to girls who believe there is a worthy place for woman in the kitchen, and are therefore glorifying kitchen crafts into worth-while careers. Ever since the Institute opened its doors in 1885, it has offered foods training, which has varied from household arts for home-makers, and courses in home-economics teaching, to the present-day co-operative training in food administration. The girls of this department are divided be- tween two professional Fields: hospital diete- tics, and commercial management. During the three years at the Institute, the dieti- tians secure hospital internship through co- operative work, while the managers serve their co-operative apprenticeship in commercial establishments. The goal of the dietitian is to become head of a hospital dietary department, whereas the student in the commercial field looks toward management of a tea room or cafeteria, and very likely dreams of some day setting up her own establishment. In any case, Food Administration girls are optimistic about starting careers when school days are over, for they know that, whether business is good or bad, people still have to eat, and there is always opportunity for girls who are competent in professional foods work. Gnonom C. Hoica Counrelor -am. If,- I I l I .23. GENEI'iAL HUME ECONOMICS N IJENERAL Home Economics girls study the job of home management for the purpose of developing competency in solving the many problems of the homemaker. Money management in the home is a fas- cinating problem involving the training of the homemaker in how to plan before spend- ing, how to make wise judgments in purchas- ing for the household, and how to apply fundamental principles in the use of income Whether small or large. Budget technique and problems in personal adjustments consistent with successful living on changing income levels add to the value of this training. Skills of the home manager in household production of food and food service, of clothing for the family, and of house furnishings are developed to give personal competency and as a possible means of extending the family income through substitu- tion of home production for cost of production outside home. Conservation of the time and energy of the homemaker is studied as a means of freeing time for leisure to use in solving problems of the family groups and for raising the standards of living. To give understanding in building physical and mental health and happy human relationships, a study is made of hygiene, applied psychology, child development, and family relationships. MAY D. BENEDICT Counselor .24- MECHANHHU.AND GUNSTRUCTTUN INCE Mechanics Institute was founded in 1885, the Mechanical Department has been one of its important divisions. From the early days of industrial Rochester, this de- partment has been supplying the community with technically trained men and has main- tained a co-operative relationship with the industries that has been benehcial to its graduates and their employers alike. The 1 department has kept pace with technical ad- vances in the industrial world and aims to use teaching methods that serve its students best. The Construction Department is an out- growth ofthe courses in Architecture that were given at the Institute prior to 1919. A committee of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce suggested at that time that the Institute consider giving a course in construction. When a survey disclosed that a greater number of the Institute's graduates were engaged in the building field than in architecture, a decision was reached to offer a basic curriculum for the building field. The course of study was prepared through the co-operation of the Rochester Builders' Exchange with the Institute faculty. Graduates from this course have already proved the soundness of the venture.

It was organized to provide training for posi- tions in the photographic industry and vari- ous branches of professional photography and these are its primary objectives today. Dr. Ellingson was Supervisor of the depart- ment from its organization until 1936 when he assumed the Presidency of the Institute. In that year the course was extended from two to three years. The department is now recognized as one of the leading schools of photography in the United States and is the only one with a three year course. During the year 1938-39 ninety students were enrolled from 16 states and two Canadian Provinces. In the nine years of its existence it has graduated 70 men and women nearly all of whom are employed in the photographic industry or in professional photography. In this year of 1939-the centennial year of photography-we look back upon nine years of progress in pioneering in a new field and we look forward to the second century of photography confident that in training ambitious men and women for careers in professional photography and the photographic industry we can contribute much towards its advancement in the years that lie ahead.

Organized only two years ago, at the suggestion of the New York State Publishers' Association, it already has become one of the most outstanding printing schools in the United States, if not in the world. Its equipment is equal in value to the only other school in the northeastern part of the United States offering work in publishing and printing on the professional level. Its program and methods of training have at- tracted wide attention among the leaders of the publishing, printing and allied industries as well as among prominent educators. The Institute occupies a unique place in education because of its philosophy and the principles upon which all its work is based. Application of these principles to printing education constitutes what is believed to be a new approach in this BYRON G. CULVER Coumelor field of training. The basic two year full-time curriculum is designed to fit the needs of those who are interested in careers in the publishing and printing professions. It is planned to train students for advancement on the basis of earned promotions. Career possibilities in publishing and printing are attractive, for these industries are among the most progressive and important industries in the country. Indications point to a successful future for the department of publishing and printing. 027. RET, flLlf G ow IXTEEN years ago the Retailing Department began training young men and women to take responsible positions in the distributive Held. Today approximately two hundred graduates are now engaged in various branches of this profession. Activities such as selling, buying, sales promotion, store management, personnel supervision, store training, customer service, and teaching retail subjects are carried on by these graduates. High standards of quality and quantity of work have won for them and for the department substantial recognition among employers. To its students this department continues to offer a balanced program of theory and practice carefully planned to meet the ever-changing requirements of this profession. During the past year knowledge of outstanding developments and new trends in retailing have been brought to the students by various store executives, by faculty members renewing their store experience, and by both students and faculty attending national retail conventions. EDWINA B. HOGADONE Counyelor .2g. UCIAL SCIENCES ' ET's talk the whole thing over! That's the slogan of the Department of the Social Sciences. Any problem that may be agitating the student's mind has its place in some of the courses of this department at the time the problem is alive. A general life activity analysis is the basis for the departmental courses. For purposes of organization, system, and convenience, fairly specific courses, or lines of study, are organized. Philosophy, psy- chology, economics, current social problems, study techniques, and English represent some of the fields of investigation upon-which courses are based. The breadth of these fields and the problem-case arrangement of much of the subject-matter invite spontaneous dis- cussion of life problems of immediate or long-range interest to individuals. Because of the fact that the Department of the Social Sciences is a Service Depart- ment, offering Liberal courses to students in all of the technical departments, members of this department enjoy the advantage of contacting all students of the Institute. The Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute has taken a leading part among technical schools of the country in recognizing that modern life demands more of its participants than mere technical proficiency. Although We have been Working on these wider problems of student interest and student needs for over fifteen years, our program is by no means complete. We invite from students at all times the fullest and freest co-operation in making the time we have with them score high in usefulness and in human interest. CALVIN C.

In our initial year at the Institute, we found ourselves making acquaint- ances with students of various departments. One of the events that we en- joyed was the Freshman Mixer which made each of us feel a part of the school. The Seniors took delight in supervising our initiation which caused some of us discomfort, but we were soon reconciled by the friendly spirit which has always prevailed at the Institute. The first year found us searching for various organizations that we might join and the various fraternities and sororities were searching for good prospects in us. The Junior year found our class graduated from the Frosh memories and in a category of our own. We took an active part in the various organizations of the school and realized more than ever the fine points of the Institute. In January, 1938, our class held the Junior Prom which was the outstanding event of the year. In our final year at the Institute, we began to foresee the responsibilities for which we had been building a foundation. Many of us are going into life careers while others are continuing preparation by attending other schools. This year found us in the busiest circle, as we held the Senior Winter Frolic at the K of C ballroom in February, the Senior dinner dance in April, and the Senior Ball in May. Now, as convocation is passed we turn our backs upon the happy days at the Institute and use its light to guide us in our careers and life problems. 055.

A Early in its Freshman year, the Class of 1940 established itself as a well organized, wide-awake unit, capable of holding its own with any of its predecessors in producing hit social events. Our first year was climaxed by the Frosh Hop at the Sagamore, which proved the popularity of such informal affairs. One milestone passed, the class moved into its junior year facing the problem of maintaining the high standards which it had set the previous year. Inaugurating a new form of elections, an executive committee of nine was chosen. The committee rapidly set to work in earnest and the Dude Ranch Party, held in honor of the incoming Freshmen, resulted. The affair hit a new high in informal student gatherings, which we had taken a leading part in popularizing in our first year. Students kicked their heels in dances old and new, imbibed soft drinks at a frontier bar and thoroughly enjoyed the companionship and informality which the Western atmosphere occasioned. As the winter wore on, several smaller activities occupied the spotlight. Breaking down the barriers of inter-departmental unfamiliarity which had hampered co- ordination in previous classes, Juniors of the various departments organized theater and bowling parties, attended concerts in groups and formed the nucleus of a good deal of the school organizations. The majority of Americans will remember March 4th, 1939 only as the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Constitution. However, to the Juniors, their friends and their fellow students who attended, that date will be most vividly recalled as being the one on which our Junior Prom was held. Rarely, if ever, has our school witnessed such a gala event. The committee in charge worked unceasingly in an effort to present to their fellow classmates a dance by which all other dances could be compared. Their efforts resulted in a perfect triple -a smooth, top-notch orchestra, an ideal dance hall and favors which were the topic of conversation of all. These were greatly abetted by a highly entertaining floor show in which the little four-year old girl won round after round of applause for her hula dance and roller- skating act. Soon after the Prom, the class suffered a decided set-back, when Mr. George E. Barton, Jr., our faculty advisor, departed from the Institute to assume his new duties at the University of Chicago. Mr. Barton had been the guiding hand which had led us so successfully through two crowded, eventful years. As a token of thanks and best wishes, the class presented him with a going-away gift in a body at an assembly on the day of his departure. In his place, by popular acclaim, the class received Mr. Alfred Davis who had proved himself such a regular fellow in this, his first, year at Mechanics Institute and who had gained great popularity as a result of his un- ofiicial date bureau which had proved such a boon to many of our aspiring and perspiring classmates. Thus, two years have passed, one year remains ahead. The success of the past two years bears suflicient warrant that the time that lies ahead will be equally successful. Inspired by the past, the road ahead points inevitably to our goal of achievement. Onward, Class of Forty, onward to Seniordom. .63. Q. 1 - . I FHESHME OFFICER CHARLES ARCHER SAMUEL CERONE .

I. on September 6, 1938. In the evening of the Friday of our first week at M. I. we were given the opportunity to become acquainted with the faculty and upperclassmen at the annual student reception. This was an event which will surely be remembered by us for many years to come for it was the start of what has come to be a very close and friendly feeling between the Freshmen Class and the faculty and the upperclassmen. In the weeks that followed the recep- tion, our school life was livened by the Freshmen initiation. This period of initiation was cut short, however, when a group of upperclassmen recommended to the student council that a program of noon dances and student mixers would more success- fully achieve the get acquainted purpose of the initiation. On the last Friday of the first block the junior Class presented, in honor of the Freshmen, a Dude Ranch Costume dance. This was a very notable event from which everyone who attended derived a great deal of pleasure. Although the Freshmen Class has not excelled in social activities, it has remedied the faults of the officer election system. Rather than waiting until next September to elect oflicers, the class has elected a committee of ten members which will take office as soon as school opens. In this way we will get a good start in student activities in our second year. .78- PART THE FOURTH T IVITIES JAMES G. L1cc1oN Student Armciation Preridefzt OUR MESSAGE , HE Institute will soon graduate another Senior Class, and again to some of us three happy years of study will come to an end. There will be some fortunate enough to remain in close contact with our Alma Mater as Alumni. Others will disperse to all points of the Universe, some to take over responsible positions and others to continue their studies. But to all of us, our years at the Institute will live on forever. Our dear friendships with students and faculty, our joys, our sorrows, our achievements, and sometimes our failures will become sentimental factors in our reminiscing. Remember the school regrets losing you, because you all have contributed in making life at the Institute what it is. The Student Council adds its best wishes to those of the School and Faculty and may you all go forth and make the name of the Institute live on forever. -79.

It is composed of class representatives elected from the various departments. Self-government, extra-curricular activities, high ideals, scholarship and good sportsmanship are its principal objectives. During the past year, it is probable that more matters of great importance to the students have come before the Council than ever before in the history of the Institute. Some of the many routine matters that come before the Council are the approving of budgets for sports and activities, the Freshman Mixer, revision of the Student Handbook, and noon dancing. An appropriation was again set aside for the purchase of non-technical books for the Institute Library. An assembly program was sponsored by the Council. The Art School, Photo-Tech Department, Glee Club, Retailing Department, and Psimar held assemblies which were very favorably received by the student body. The Council's award assembly was held March 15. Because of much unfavorable reaction from the Freshmen and some upperclassmen, the Council, after much deliberation, decided to abolish initiation at the Institute. An appropriation of S5000 was set aside for tennis courts on the Frances A. Baker property which was donated for that purpose to the students by the school. These courts will be ready before the end of this school year. The new gym was made available to the students, daily between the hours of 4 until 6 with facilities for badminton, ping-pong, and showers. The students almost unanimously approved the plan submitted by the Council to raise the student fee from S12 to S15 for the upkeep of the new Student Center, formerly the Art Center. This is a big step in the life of the Institute as many prob- lems will now be solved. To the student body, the faculty, and our faculty advisor, Mr. Stratton, whose help made the solution of these problems possible, the Council tenders its most sincere appreciation. . 81 .

The members of the dormitory have co-operated in planning special programs for the enjoyment of dormitory residents. The program carried out this year was for educational, social, and personal advance- ment. Many prominent people in various fields were entertained at dinner and their messages were inspiring to the girls. Throughout the year, teas and Open House days proved to be great successes. Miss Opal Baer and her assistant, Miss Florance Meyer, have helped the girls to the fullest extent in making the dormitory a more livable and enjoyable place. .32. .gin-.l JOHNSON, HOLT, MEYER, KLEIN, HERMAN, BALLOU DUB Nl.-TOWN LEAGUE General Chairman JOAN KLEIN .

Adviror The Dorm-Town League Council consists of representatives from both the girls of the city and the girls of the Dormitory. This organization was established in 1938 to promote school spirit and unity among all the girls of Mechanics Institute. All girl students are members of the Dorm-Town League and participation in the organization is voluntary. The Dorm-Town League assisted the Dormitory girls in planning the Dorm-Town Formal. Get-Acquainted parties were given with both the town girls and the dormi- tory girls acting as hostesses. The climax of the year was a Hacienda party given in the Eastman Hall. . 83 .

IUHS For the first time in the history of the Dormitory, the Senior residents of 102 Spring Street became recognized as an organized group. One of their first moves was to re- name the dormitory Opal Hall in honor of the house mother, Miss Opal Baer. To these Senior girls, goes the credit for many of the teas and dinners which have been presented at Opal Hall. The Seniors wear pins which distinguish their group to the rest of the girls. The problems of the dormitory have bound these girls more closely together. It is hoped that next year's group will enjoy the organization as much as we have.

Also perhaps some assistance from the Institute itself- and the best way to do this is through the Alumni Association of your Alma Mater. It is comprised of all the graduates, and has a potential membership of about twelve thousand. Its purpose is to bind together all alumni, to aid all in maintaining close COl1IT21Ct with our Alma Mater, and to assist the Institute in attaining its objectives. The activities of your Association include formal reunions, informal get-togethers, and the publication of the official organ- The Alumni Mirror. The Rochester Club, organized last year, has again had a very successful season, along with many other clubs in the various large communities of the United States. We all look forward to the annual banquet which Will be held at Oak Hill Country Club on the evening of the day on which all you seniors of the Class of 1939 will be cited at Convocation. -85.

The paper, printed every two weeks in the Department of Publishing and Printing, came out with five columns early in December. A new heading was used, making the paper more attrac- tive and modern. A new Psimar constitution was drawn up and approved by the Student Council which arranged for awards to be given to deserving members of the staff. Two ban- quets were held, one in September and one in April, with the awards presented at the latter. At their assembly this spring, the Psimar presented colored movies, taken by the Photographic staff. These movies showed part of the work necessary in putting out a newspaper, as well as glimpses into several school activities. The Psimar was the originator and sponsor of the two Open Houses, a new feature at the Institute, which proved most informative to all students in the school. The staff of this year's Psimar extends their best wishes for success to the staff-to-be. . 89 . MECHANICAL STUDENTS' A,SSUClAT.I.UN B I. U U li A BRUCE E. HARTER . . . . . . . President WALTER T.

The addition of a third year of study to the regular Photographic Technology Course has meant both increased membership and activity this past school year. Never before has there been such an impressive line up of photographic lectures and demonstrations as those presented before the group these last nine months. It may also be said that never before have the club competitive exhibits of salon photography attracted so much favorable comment as they have since being hung in the school cafeteria. The Camera Club by providing a means of expressing each individua1's enthusiasm for this fascinating subject, by allowing its members to enjoy the real fun of photog- raphy as a hobby, by providing a means of satisfying to some extent the insatiable desire for knowledge on this subject has provided an important supplement to the school's regular course of study in photography. .92.

Because of its convenient location in the gymnasium, an unusually large group of singers found it possible to attend. A group of 75 students participated actively throughout the year. Under the continued direction of Mr. Kendall, more diflicult selections were suc- cessfully mastered and several quartets and sextets added variety to the programs. Long but interesting hours of practice were pleasantly interrupted by social events. At the hrst meeting of the year on September 27, a surprise cider and doughnut party gave the organization an enthusiastic start. Immediately before Christmas, a party and choral sing helped usher in the holiday spirit. The Glee Club does not believe in allmplay so it spent time practicing for an assembly program which was presented on January 11. This program introduced the male quartet which became quite popular. February 26 found the Glee Club enjoying Fun Night at Eastman Theater. On March 10, the annual banquet was held in the Normandie Apartments. This was an evening of fun appreciated by all. But every organization must have a goal. The goal this year was to join with the Dramatic Club again in giving a final concert and in April Dramical was presented to an enthusiastic audience of students and friends. .95.

HE Gargoyles enthusiastically participated in a versatile program this year. Opening the season with demonstrations in make-up by Mr. Fred Englert, director, the group soon settled down to produce two one-act plays: The Seven Women by James M. Barrie and a play by John Kirkpatrich entitled The Wedding. The high light of the year, however, was the one-act comedy, The Potboiler. This was produced as part of The Dramical, a combined presentation of the dra- matic and glee clubs. Guest speakers included Mr. Emmett O'Neil, a prominent member of Rochester's theatrical circle, and Mr. Joe Weiss, director of one of the outstanding dramatic groups in the city. A trip to the University of Rochester's backstage completed a very well-rounded program. Our social success was a dinner followed by a theater party which gave the mem- bers an opportunity to witness a professional production. Membership is open to all students with special attention being paid to individual interests including lighting, costuming, directing, acting, scenery painting, and make-up. The oflicers elected this year were: president, John Swain, secretary, Gertrude Herman. Miss Bernice Mohlenhoff, faculty advisor, gave her very able assistance to the club throughout the year. .96.

In both the September and October blocks, Intersorority Get-Togethers were held to help the sorority members and the freshmen girls to get acquainted. The big event of the year, the Intersorority Ball managed by the four sororities, was held on April 15 at the Rochester Club. At this time the Intersorority Scholastic Trophy was awarded to the sorority with the highest average for scholarship. In May, the Officers for the 1939-40 were elected. . 97 .

The chief urpose is to instill a feeling of sisterhood and goodwill in the girls. Fair play, riendliness, and scholarship are encouraged. The new Junior girls were pledged at a spaghetti party. Our rush party was held in January at the Blarney Stone Inn in West Webster where we played Irish fgames and ate Irish stew. On February 18, the rushing season was culminated by the ormal pledge dinner at the Rochester Club. In the spring, we gave a shower for one of the girls. We closed this most successful year with our annual houseparty where everyone thoroughly enjoyed herself and forgot, for a week-end, examinations and her sorrow at seeing our Senior members leave. .98.

Embodying in its membership, a roup who conscientiously strove to uphold the sorority's traditions of firm frienfship and high scholastic ratings, Delta Omicron engaged in social events which were varied and numerous. The highlight of the fall, was a tureen dinner given by the girls for their mothers. This was held in the home of Mrs. Karker, one of the sorority's honorary members. The sorority's practice of choosing new members from all departments augmented its roll call. The rush party was a carnival at the Roosevelt Apartments. This was followed by the formal pledge dinner at the Sagamore Hotel. With these new mem- bers, Delta Omicron is ending its year's activities with a house party. .99. ,J-.rdf E.

Now the sorority has the largest active membership of the four sororities. Its purpose is chiefly to promote friendship among the girls of the differ- ent departments, but scholarship is also an aim which may be evidenced as the soror- ity has held the Intersorority Scholastic Trophy during the past year. In January, Phi Upsilon Phi held its rush party at Edith Hale's in the form of a trip to the South Pole. At the formal pledge at the University Club in February, fourteen new girls were pledged. In the spring the new members gave a picnic for the upperclassmen.

This year a slei h ride party which turned out to be a hay ride was enjoyed by both members anclzrushees. After the brisk wagon ride down the Ellison Park hill, the open fire place at the log cabin furnished a fine setting for juicy steaks and marsh- mallows. The formal pledge services were held on the Sagamore Roof Garden with music by Hughie Barrett's Orchestra. Other social activities included evenings at Miss McMu1len's apartment, cootie parties, card parties, and a surprise picnic for the Seniors.

This year, the social season opened with the annual rush party held at the Sagamore Hotel with most of the alumni, brothers, and pledges present.

These students developed the nucleus of an organization that stands for scholarship, higher ideals, loyalty, and finer fellowship. For thirty-eight years this fraternity has existed and fulfilled its initial pledge. In 1937, Pi Kappa Gamma, Chi Epsilon Phi, and Phi Sigma Phi merged and adopted the name of Phi Sigma Phi as it was the first fraternity at the Institute. Phi Sigma Phi held its rush party at the Home Dining Rooms. This party enlight- ened the true meaning of this organization to the pledges. The fraternity joined with the other Greek letter organizations in a very successful open dance at the Powers Hotel. On March 18, Phi Sigma Phi held its annual Dinner Dance, one of the out- standing affairs of the social year, at the Oak Hill Country Club. ' 103 ' fVl UL ll I5 O F F I C E R S G. MUSTARI ..... . .

The chief purpose of the Club is to promote good sportsmanship and fellow- ship here at the Institute. It has also run the initiation of the Freshmen in the past with the approval of the Student Council and under the guidance of Mr. Hagberg, the Club supervisor. This year the club was proud to announce the traditional Freshman initiation will be abolished in the future. In its place the Freshman Reception Dance will be held the first Friday of each block at the beginning of the school year. This decision received a hearty approval from the student body for it will acquaint the incoming Freshmen with the faculty and upper classmen as well as with their own classmates. The Club, long a tradition at the Institute, will go on with the usual success in running its activities as it has in past years. P I r MALONE, REINMAN, STALEY, ELLIOTT, W.

HE Varsity Basketball Team of Mechanics Institute for the season of 1938-39 had a measure of success not determined entirely by the size of the scores recorded but rather through comparison with the deeds of recent years and by the outlook for the future. Since the inauguration of the policies of our new coach, John Elberfeld, the Insti- tute record has been gaining until it now surpasses any of recent years for games won per season. The record of the past season has been due in part to the spirit of the freshman material reporting. On Elmer Hess, Al Honeck, Don Sweet, and Frank Beary the hopes for future successful seasons are pinned. Hess, a cool, dependable player, Sweet, a speedy sharpshooter and Beaty, a newcomer to the squad whose true worth has not been shown in the few games in which he has starred, together form a clicking combination. Also playing his first season under the Blue and Gray, Don Wolz, a Junior, turned in some excellent teamwork in support of the above combination. An unfortunate loss in mid-season of our experienced center, Bob Evans, was a blow to the team which was deeply felt, the need for experienced play- ing falling on the remaining veterans, Sam Coluccio, a smart general and an excellent shot whose leadership pointed the way to many victories, Neal Fisher, a veteran with plenty of fight in the thick of the game, Dave Groh, a steady, dependable player with the experience for smart basketball, Harry Staley, a reliable team man with the staying qualities of a veteran, Angelo Sportelli and Guy Mustari, two men who have played their last game with Mechanics. Lefty Sportelli, a good sport and all-around player whose sharpshooting has been a feature of Mechanics attack for two years, and Red Mustari who has sparked the squad into action for three years will be missed in coming campaigns. Their fine example of skill and sportsman- ship will be a goal to strive for in the future.

From this group, the coaches were able to pick a very promising team, for each of the eight scheduled meets. Every man who wrestled in one of these meets, did so by proving his ability in elimination bouts. This gave every man a chance to wrestle in a meet, and also made the entire team stronger. Because of the large number of freshmen candidates, the varsity men found them- selves hard pressed for positions on the team. In one or two cases, the freshmen proved to be superior. Although two of the veterans are leaving this year, the outlook for the future looks bright. Already, Mechanics Institute has received requests for meets with teams not on previous schedules. The varsity squad this year consisted of Jerry Ricci, 121, Jack Malone CCapt.D 1285 Murray Reinman, 136, Joe Conte, 145, Harold Lugert, 155, Walt Navik, 1655 Dominik Mancini, 1754 and Ben Saggesse, Heavyweight. 1 RICCI, MALONE, REINMAN, CONTE, LUGERT, W.

Adviror DURING the year many students have enjoyed the pleasures of the bridle and saddle while taking part in the activities of the club. The riding at the Culver Road Armory afforded opportunities for beginners to learn the equestrian methods and for the advanced riders to keep in condition through the winter months. During the fall and spring months weekly picnic rides were held at Mendon Ponds Park. These rides were considered the social events of the club which began with an hour and a half of comfortable gaits through the picturesque trails of the park, followed by a supper, and usually ended with a Snipe Hunt to initiate new members. To climax the year the club presented its annual Horse Show and Gymkhanna which proved highly enjoyable to the entire student body. This show also gave the riders a chance to show what they had accomplished by their year's efforts. 'l10- BOWLING UPEN season on bowling pins at Mechanics Institute was declared early in the fall. It was received with such great enthusiasm that three nights a week were reserved at the Brick Church Institute for bowlers. Both fellows and girls enjoyed this sport which is fast becoming a favorite with all the students. Although no three hundred games were bowled, all agree that this year was very satisfactory. Under the capable leadership of Mr. Duncan Seavey, many soon became very proficient in this sport. Since so much interest has been shown this year, it has been proposed that a league be formed for the following years. This league will be com- posed of department, fraternities, sororities, and any others who desire to compete. This will give more people a chance to prove their ability with the maples. Next year should be bigger and better than ever, so we are wishing you a successful season. -Ill- COURTNEY, BURKARDT, COSTANZO, REHBERG, KEATING, SWARTHOUT, MCCARRICK COOLEY, SCHIEFER, WALKER, SHED GIRLS' BASIQETBALL V V 1TH a good number of veteran players from last year the Girls' Basketball season started with a bang. There have been about ten to fifteen girls attending during the entire season. They were coached at their weekly practices by Miss Eleanor Rehberg. As usual theldisadvantage of the block system prevented the girls from having an outstanding team but late in the season a team was chosen to represent Mechanics Institute at Interscholastic games. The members of the team were captained by Genevieve Courtney, Harriet Shed, Erma Swarthout, Alice Cooley, Carmella Cost- anzo, and Jane Burkardt. The other players of the season included Betty Schiefer, Olga Palskis, Doris Hancock, Marjorie Parkhouse, Peggy Keating, Anna Lyng, Geraldine Hedtke, Leona Walker, Thelma York, Rosemary Migliozzi, and Eleanor McCarrick. The girls have played games with Nazareth College, Rochester Business Institute, Y. W. C. A. Business Girls and the Y. W. C. A. Business Women. Several oppor- tunities to play out-of-town games arose but due to our school ruling we were unable to take advantage of them. The last game of the season was played with the team from Highland hospital. -112- WALKER, M.

Under the influence of blue skies, warm sunshine and the exuberance of youth, all barriers are let down as Mechanics rides wheel to wheel. Every department is well represented Saturday afternoons along the trails of Genesee Valley Park. Eventually all roads lead to the picnic grounds where hungry cyclers may satisfy their appetites on steaks, rolls, pop, and fruit. After everyone has eaten and dis- cussed the happenings of the day, the sun sets on Weary but happy bikers wending their Way homcward looking forward to the next bike hike. -114- LYNG, KLUTE, BOWLLAN, HOVEY, RIES, HERMAN, GLOSICK, DA Y, KETCHUM TENNIS Many students became better tennis players under the excellent direction of Bill Toporcer, well known expert on the courts. The classes in routine instruction were held indoors at the Brick Church gym during February and March. Although it is impossible to play a game, the fifty men and girls received fundamental ideas as to form and tactics. Mr. Toporcer furnished an inclusive course in forehand, backhand, and serving, which was greatly appreciated by all members of the classes. We hope and expect Mechanics Institute can boast of new professional tennis courts this spring. If we are fortunate enough to have Mr. Toporcer with us at that time, we are sure of a genuine interest in tennis that will develop into a fascinating and healthful sport. GULF Golf was even more popular this year with 14 students signed up for the A block and 26 for the B block. Classes were held indoors during February and March at the Collins and Feller Golf School with instruction by Mr. George Collins, pro at the Genesee Valley Park golf course. ' The disappointing factor in the course was that it could not be continued in April. Many participants hoped to reach a golf course with Mr. Collins and really get to Work on the swing. It should be noted that five men took lessons this year as con- trasted with thirty-five girls.

Marrlmll Field -117- UUNSPICUUUS FIHSTS for Nlechanics Institute HE Photographic Department added another division to its curriculum when it adapted the practice house for use. Studios, darkrooms, and various workrooms were incorporated to be used by senior students only. Although this is the first year the department has had a three year course, the practice house has made this arrange- ment very successful. With the introduction of the gym, another conspicuous first was added to the Institute. The past year it has been turned over to wrestling, badminton, and table tennis. Tournaments were promoted in these last two sports and much interest was aroused. Plans for gym activities for next year are already under way. The abolishment of initiation was a great upset to many of the students but it is to be remembered that initiation is to introduce freshmen and not to punish them. Perhaps everyone enjoys seeing some unlucky person suffer but the Rochester Athen- aeum and Mechanics Institute stands for Art, Science, and Industry and hopes to build friendship by other means. Since caps and buttons are to be retained, the fresh- men are certain to be recognized by them, rather than by harassed expressions. The Dorm Town Council was organized to bring the girls of the dorm in closer relationship with the city girls. The initial performance of this organization was the presentation of the Dorm Formal. This group will endeavor to promote various activities throughout the school years. ' The General Student Council was dispensed with because it had not proven suc- cessful lately. There are so many activities to be represented that when representatives from each were there, the council room was overcrowded and a successful meeting was impossible. The new plan should work very well and give the school a better governing body. Use of the tennis courts built this year on the land donated by Frances A. Baker will be something that Mechanics Institute can look forward to every year. A welcome innovation at Mechanics Institute will be the student center. The former aft center will be converted into a central gathering place for socially inclined students. The building will contain lounges, smoking rooms, play rooms, and activity centers. The students voted to raise the Student Association fee so that this center might be possible. -119- ICN THE NAME UF GOD, AMEN We, The Class of A.
