Zee kmila ’ IJH.VHi Xechmlla1 1945-1946 PUBLISHED BY The Tech mi I a' Staff ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY foreword Events which have transpired since the publication of the 1945 Teckmila have surpassed what might have been, at that time, our wildest dreams. The greatest of these, of course, was the successful termination of the most destructive war of all time. The students of HIT can pride themselves in the fact that they, in their own fashion, contributed to the defeat of the enemy, even though many of them, for reasons of age or sex, were unable to enter active service. At no time did the call for blood and the request to buy war bonds go unheeded, and these are but two of the many and varied contribu- tions. The records of our veterans speak for themselves. They performed an Herculean task, and HIT is proud of them. God’s blessing and our heartfelt gratitude go to those who did not return. And now, in 1946, with these never-to-be-forgotten facts behind us, we can again stride forth towards a learning that will enable us to become better citizens of a better world. This, and this alone, must be our purpose. DR. MARK ELUNGSON The faculty and stall of the Rochester Institute of Technology take this opportunity to congratulate and extend best wishes to the mem- bers of the Senior Class. We have great hopes for a useful and con- structive career for everyone of you. There is, of course, no simple formula for successful citizenship. We are sure, however, that to attain a full measure of success you must have at least more than a moderate amount of competence in your occupational field. With this as a basis upon which to build, you must participate in community and civic affairs. Your participation must extend to an understanding of the problems and peoples of other lands. We are living in an international age, and your thinking and action must be geared to a new kind of international relations. Finally, you must concern yourselves with your own intellectual growth. You must keep the channels of your mind forever open in order that new occasions will not find you unprepared. Diawing by C. Skinner II i: II I ( A T I o We, the student body of the Rochester Institute of Technology, dedicate the 1940 Techmila to the veterans of World War II in appreciation for the great job they have done. That these men are a sensible and forward looking group is evidenced by the fact that so many of them have chosen to further their education. The student body ex- presses sincere wishes for happiness and prosperity to all the veterans among us. We do not need to worry about the future of our nation as long as it rests in their hands.

THOMPSON Treasurer, University of Rochester NELSON L. WHITAKER President and General Manager, Graflex, Inc� MEMBER OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE HISTORICAL While erecting the George H. Clark Building as an expansion to the Rochester Institute of Technology, there is being car- ried on a progressive movement that had its origin when Rochester first became a dwell- ing place. This statement is substantiated when a review is made of the history of Rochester as an outstanding American city. The building of the first grist mill in 1789 by Ebenezer Allan, who recognized the latent energy of the Genesee River and put it to work, was the first move to establish com- munity industry. Following closely the activ- ities of Ebenezer Allan, was the coming of Col. Nathaniel Rochester, after whom the city was named. On a tablet prepared by the Rochester Historical Society is the following quotation: He Gave the City More Than a Name The Heritage of His Inspiring Personality The history of Col. Rochester is closely related to the evolution of the Rochester Institute of Technology. The Bevier Building was erected upon the site of Col. Rochester’s home. The Spring from which Spring Street derived its name was directly opposite. The two houses recently razed to make way for the George H. Clark Building were built by Col. Rochester for his son and daughter. The stairway that is used as a symbol to dramatize Progress was in the house formerly occupied by Col. Rochester’s daughter. (The Photograph was made while the building was being razed.) Associated with Col. Rochester and in the generations to follow were men who not only had the vision but who pro- moted culture. From the first organization of the Roch- ester Athenaeum in 1829 there has been a steady growth and expansion that is symbol- ized in the theme of upward growth. In the dramatized version of Progress the reference to the physical structure upon which the buildings rest is not a visionary picture cre- ated to carry on the story. Those not acquainted with the local geo- logical history will find interest in a quotation from Prof. Fairchild's history, quote, The Rochester canyon with its display of sedi- mentary rocks, richly colored and in distinct group, is one of the handsomest rock sections known. Directly underlying the city is the Lockport and Duclph magnesium limestone (Dolomite) and it is upon this foundation that the building of the Rochester Institute of Technology rests. In the gorge below the lower falls can still be found fossil remains of early life imbedded in the rock. Looking north from Driving Park bridge can be seen layer upon layer of glacial formation that began when the world was young. Photographed by F. w.

Our freshman year, of course, was lots of fun, with mixers and the splash party; but our junior year— The junior splash party at the “Y” on February 22. rollicked to the tune of bouncing ping pong balls, the squeals of swimmers and the thoughtful silence of the pool players. Gene Zacher s orchestra at the lovely Seneca Ball Room pro- vided sweet music for our social highlight of the year, the Maytime Ball. May 11th was the big night. The mezzanine of the Seneca was filled with the handsome hoys and the beautiful girls of RIT dressed in their formal best. Everyone had a grand time at the affair which was under the capable co-chairmanship of Taylor Warren and Jerry LaRose. We hope sincerely that we, next year as the senior class, can carry on the traditions and ideals of KIT as our departing seniors have done. Here’s to a grand 1947 at RIT!! BENTLEY, HELEN Retail.

We thought we were rushed during the first few weeks of school when we stood in line, for what seemed endless hours, waiting for our turn in the hook store, and when we were frantically hunting for our el assrooms. Of course, “green freshmen” must he initiated, so soon after school started certain residents of the Frontenac were seen scurrying down the halls with their hair up and big signs across their back. The traditional '“Hell Week” was in progress. January 18 was a date that will live long in the memories of HIT students. The place was the romantic Star Light Roof of the Sheraton Hotel. The event was the “Winter Fantasy” or Freshmen Formal. What a dance and what fun everyone had! The big event of the evening was the crowning of the king and queen, Joe Delello and Shirley Pin der. Both were presented with beautiful identification bracelets. During the year, life long friendships have been made, and careers have been well launched. It’s been a very successful year. We’re all looking forward to a bigger and better year next year. FRESHMEN APPLIED ART - BLUE SECTION Back Ran - Johnny Muslovryc, June IS.iulr.

After students have mastered the fundamentals of drawing, they begin to use drawing as a tool for creative art work. Specialization for a particular objective is the natural outgrowth of the work in basic fundamentals. During his study, the student experi- ments with a variety of mediums and techniques which provide means of expression. Through this experimentation he discovers a medium or mediums which challenge his interest and lead to a decision for a particular method of working Mental alertness and keen awareness to various aspects of life provide subject matter for individual concen- tration. With such an approach to creative work, the serious art student finds a means of attaining his particular objective. industrial f'hrmistry Have you seen those lab coat clad students around school mum- bling something about solubility product constants, pH readings, valence change, etc? Well, they're members of the Industrial Chem- istry Department. As students in this Department, they may be en- rolled in either the Industrial Chemistry course or in the Industrial Ceramics course. As freshmen our curriculum includes mathematics, physics, gen- eral chemistry and qualitative analysis. In our Junior year we delve further into our chosen field, taking quantitative analysis and organic chemistry. Physical chemistry, industrial chemistry and more organic are studied as seniors. The latest addition to the chemistry department is a laboratory housing special instruments for chemical analysis. A course in the use of these instruments in planned for the seniors. The chemistry program is operated on a co-operative plan, pro- viding students with practical experience as well as formal training. Graduates hold a great variety of positions such as laboratory assistants, analytical chemists, control chemists, specialists in chemical manufacturing, technicians in the field of industrial development, as well as supervisory positions. Electrical. .. The Electrical Course is designed to train young men for the many interesting and profitable opportunities available within the electrical industry. Graduates now hold positions of great responsibility, and their competence and achievements are widely recognized. The program starts with carefully selected young men who have excelled in high school mathematics and science subjects. A thorough training in electrical circuits, machinery and electronics, mathematics, drawing, and other related subjects is provided at the Institute. Practi- cal experience in electrical work is obtained through the co-operative job in industry. At the present time the Institute’s electrical laboratory facilities compare most favorably with those found in our best engineering schools. An expansion program now under way will nearly double the available floor space. Plans calling for the installation of additional power, industrial electronic, communication, and x-ray equipment are being prepared. The completion of these plans should enable the de- partment to provide more efficient instruction to an increased enroll- ment. Food A dministrution The Food Administration Department has offered food training ever since the Institute first opened its doors in 1885. The present three-year co-operative course was started in 1928. The department is equipped with all the latest devices to make the course enjoyable as well as educational. The kitchens which serve as laboratories for food training are modern and complete, with tile walls and floors, and up- to-date equipment of monel metal and stainless steel. The students of this department are trained for food administra- tion in hospitals, industrial cafeterias, and other places where large groups of people must be fed. In their co-operative jobs they work in food service and dietary departments, getting valuable experience in doing the type of work they have chosen. The program is directed toward food management and consists of four general areas of training: Knowledge and skills in food prepara- tion; science in relationship to foods and nutrition; training for busi- ness control of a food service department; and liberal courses for all round personal development. .Mvvlianivul. . . Fortunately, the Mechanical Department has been chosen as one of the three to occupy the new George H. Clark Building. We invite our friends, both in and out of the Institute, to visit us some time during the next school year to inspect the new laboratory facilities. These laboratories will be located on the first floor. With the aid of a considerable amount of new equipment, we shall be in position to increase greatly our usefulness and to continue im- provement in the training for many important positions which our graduates may and do hold. In September, 1945, the course in Tool Engineering was added, which together with the general mechanical and the instrument making courses, makes a total of three for the department. The Tool Engineering program promises to he of great service to the engineer- ing field. The course is being offered with the approval and co-opera- tion of the American Society of Tool Engineers, Many applications for admittance to the Mechanical Department are coming from far off places indicating that young men in the armed services have been favorably impressed by the performance of our graduates M hoto(friiphifi Technology Since its founding in 1930 the Department of Photographic Technology has grown until with the entering class of 1946 it will have the largest full time enrollment of any department in the In- stitute. While most people think of photography as a hobby or as a busi- ness, its applications to science and industry are so diverse and so im- portant that it has become an essential part of modern civilization. With the additional facilities which will become available with the completion of the George H. Clark Building, the Department (4 Photographic Technology hopes, within the next two or three years, to expand so as to include many of the highly specialized fields of photog- raphy which, despite their importance, are not as yet found in anv ed u ca lion al i nsti tuti on. The Department of Photographic Technology is already one of the outstanding institutions of its kind in the country and, with the exception of the war years, has long been unable to accept all those applying for admission. With the projected expansion, it should be- come the foremost institution in the world for instruction in photog- raphy. Publishing and Printing With the constant surge of veterans and high school graduates, the facilities of the Publishing and Printing Department are now taxed to the utmost. Much to our delight, enrollment has increased to the high- est point in the history of the department. Beginning with the next school year, the Publishing and Printing Department will be well along on an expansion program to accommo- date a still larger student body and to increase facilities for teaching the techniques of printing. When it moves into the new George H. Clark Building the depart- ment will have over three times its present floor space. This will permit the addition of offset equipment, including platemaking and press- work. It will also make it possible to extend facilities in letterpress printing, layout, and technical and related subjects. A feature in the new quarters will be a complete production laboratory for the study of production, planning and control. The new enlarged department will be equipped as rapidly as possible to accommodate up to two hundred students. Its expanded program and increased facilities will assure continued leadership in printing education. iSotailiny . .. For twenty-three years the Retailing Department has had its special niche at Rochester Institute of Technology. Since the Retailers are divided into A and B blocks, each block of students attends school and works alternately. This means that there are always some Retailers wearing business-like attitudes while bustling busily around school. Our school terms are occupied with studies of Merchandising Tech- niques, Principles of Retailing, Fashion Trends, and Planning and Control. These subjects are flavored with a sprinkling of Psychology and Philosophy. Besides our regular retailers, we have specialists, those students who are taking Costume Art or Interior Decorating in addition to their other subjects. During our work blocks in co-operative stores, we have an opportunity to apply the theories of our school work and prove their merits. It is to meet the extended and constantly grow- ing need for educated people in the field of Retailing, that we, the Re- tailers of RIT have chosen this profession. Soeinl Science The Department of The Social Sciences contributes to the student’s edu- cation by giving advice and knowledge pertaining to the handling of personal and social problems as well as those covered in our regular courses of study. Its aim is to aid us in developing the ability to deal with problems in and beyond our occupation. Classes in philosophy, psychology, English and study techniques, eco- nomics, social problems, current events, and art appreciation are included in the curriculum. We are taught not only how to learn but also how to apply what we have learned. In the many class discussions that take place, we discover other opinions and ideas that assist us in solving many questions that confront us from day to day. In all of these classes, we are encouraged to bring up prob- lems connected with our work, our school life, our citizenship, or our personal interests. These experiences are called “cases,” and whether they are made with or without personal reference, they enable us to get light on any question with which we may at the time he concerned. The social science courses help us to attain initiative and tolerance in situations where leadership and broad-mindedness are needed. And, above all, they teach us that education should be continuous—a life-time privilege and task. Veteran's Administratiini Early in 1945 the Veterans’ Administration contacted certain educational institutions throughout the country in order to establish counseling centers. It was the purpose of the Veterans’ Administration to establish these centers in schools which w ere primarily interested in counseling individuals. Inasmuch as the Institute had one of the oldest counseling center’s in the country, the Veterans’ Administration asked the Institute if it would be willing to collaborate with them in setting up a similar center here. The negotiations were carried through and more than a year ago now the center was opened. Since that time more than 1,400 veterans have gone through the complete counseling procedure. This consists of a planned interview, a comprehensive battery of tests chosen in light of the individual veteran’s needs, and an interpretation of the interview and tests in the effort to work out an educational or occupational program in line with his interests and abilities. When the center was opened one counselor and one secretary devoted part time to this. At present, there are six full-time counselors, three psycho metrists and two secretaries devoting their entire time to the veterans’ center.

Alumni Association The Alumni Association is an active, organized body of alumni bound together in common friendship and mutual interest to promote the Institute and their welfare. Through it alumni are assisted occupa- tionally and socially, and they participate in Institute policy-making and they aid students in many ways. The Alumni Mirror is published three times a year. At the time of Convocation, an annual banquet, one of the highlights of the Institute social season, is held. Other special affairs are sponsored. Under the Auspices of the Association, the HIT Development Fund provides scholarships and student loans, finances association affairs and carries on oilier worthwhile activities. Alumni and Institute friends contribute to the Fund on a regular basis. Nearly $5,000 was raised during 1945-46 by the Development Fund.

It is an organization consisting of representatives of each class and of each department of the school. The main function of the council is to supervise all problems which may arise within the Student Association as well as to provide a varied program of extra- curricular activities. This year it has been quite a problem for the Council to meet the needs and demands of the Student Association due to the fact of the increasing student body as well as the lack of space appropriated for student activities. Under these conditions the council has put forth every effort to adjust its program to meet the needs of peace time conditions. In the very near future we hope to he able to present a more concise program for the Student Association. Student II a n il li ii ii k The student handbook enjoys a rather unique position among the school publications in that it is the first publication to find its way to the hands of the eager freshman. Supplying important information about grades, frater- nities, sports, scholarships and all social and educational details of school life, including a calendar of dates for which school is closed, the student handbook finds its way to students of all years alike. In keeping in step with the expansion program of the school at large, the handbook will likewise be enlarged in the next issue to include details of the new building and its added facilities.

Dorm Council This year finds our Council busier than before with two dormitories to govern, yet it is even more successful than other years. The Res- idence Halls have self government and all laws are enacted and en- forced in the interest of the students by the students. Whether large or small, problems of the dorm are discussed by our competent Council. The aim of the Council is to maintain the house stardards and make the dorm a friendly place for happy living. The activities of the year were successfully carried out through the cooperation of each member. The Council is comprised of two rep- resentatives from each class: president, vice-president, and social chairman, with Miss Medden, Miss Davies, Miss Layne, and Miss Tipping acting as advisers. The standing committees are: Vivian Lockwood, our capable civic chairman who takes charge of paper and tin can collection, clothing drives. Red Cross drives, health programs and ushering at plays. House Chairman—Shirley Say prepares daily room inspection and sees that good order is maintained in the dorm at all time. Social chairman— Barbara Hadefield plans the social calendar of interesting events for the year. Fire Chief—Marva Van Dusen arranged fire drill throughout the year and acts in matters pertaining to the safety of the students. This year has been one of pleasant associations and successful activities for which we owe many thanks to our grand advisers. Clark Union Made possible through the generosity of George H. Clark, Clark Union is a center for student recreation and provides a place for organizations to meet. It is student self-government in action being financially supported and governed by the Student Council. The build- ing had a historical background having been built over a century ago by Nathaniel Rochester. Clark Union has solved the problem of where the many organiza- tions might hold their meetings. The glee club was grateful for an assigned room for their meetings and rehearsals. It has provided the fraternities and sororities with a place for their meetings and social events. Its spacious game room, smoking facilities, lounges and meeting rooms have made Clark Union a home away from home for Institute students. Students wishing to chit-chat, read, sleep, lounge, dance, etc., find Clark Union the perfect place for such activiy. The Union has a music appreciation room with more than 600 records, and a lovely little kitchenette. Magazines of all sizes, colors and descriptions can be found in every corner; whether your taste runs to Esquire or the Reader's Digest. We of the student body appreciate the Union as a social center of the Institute. It was with a tear in our eye that we watched Clark Union being torn down early last Fall. Everyone was wondering what would become of us now. A perfect solution was found. For now dear old Clark Union is housed in the old dorm on Utah Alley. All of our favorite books and games are there. The dancing room is always jammed with rug cutters. Even the ping pong table and the Carnegie Music set have their own special places. So it is with a smile that we say to our friends at noon or between classes—‘‘see you at C. U.” Still the best liked and most popular place oti the campus. Won’t you join us? You’ll have fun! Miss Evelyn Tipping Miss Given navies Froiiienae nml UvIii nIoii Hornis September 8, 1945—“I hear we have a new House Mother?” “Have you met her yet?” “What’s she like?” That seemed to he the topic of conversation at the beginning of the school year. For all who asked those familiar questions. I presume by now you have found out yourself all about Miss Harriet Layne. What’s the Big and Little Sister business all about asked the incoming Freshmen? They found out at the P. J. party given them by their Big Sisters, and were told about the on- coming parties that were soon to he underway. Our annual Dorm Formal was again a won- derful success and Barb Shultz and her com- mittee did a swrell job—Yes! This year there were even dales to he had! Birthday dinners were die monthly event and every girl had her turn at being honored at the Birthday table. After three long awaited months, the new lounge was officially opened and it seems to have quite a cozy atmosphere. The success of our Dorm year is to be credited to Miss Mary Med den, Miss Evelyn Tipping, Miss Gwen Davies, Miss Harriet Layne in doing more than their share in making the dorm life such a pleasant one.

'_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Draw i ii vr by F. Luiidsrren AT KIT... Tlie year started off with a bang up get acquainted pajama party for the new kids. Big sisters were assigned to all new faces, and hand in hand, they started for the lounge for an after hour party. These were con- tinued later in the year as floor parties. Bring your coke, we’ll collect for the ginger snaps and potato chips. Here we sang songs and got acquainted with our next door neighbors . . . now we can feel free to borrow stuff. No comments, pleeze. Desk duty has a two fold advantage; one being to earn a little pin money (which burns a bole rapidly in ones pocket I, and the other being a means of finding out who’s who and what’s what in regard to the dorm and it’s members. Thursday is generally the night for hair shampooing and for making up the homework for the past week. The latter is often started on Thursday night and with the corning of daybreak, many a dormite lias been found slumbering with, her nose in some book of study. Along with the warm weather, there comes the routine yeru to move to the Frontenac roof. Here many of the lunch hours and spare time is spent in' the attempt to absorb all the sunshine, Friday night (any time during the year) is the night that all the week’s day dreams become realities. Yes, 12:30 and 1:00 a.in. permission and that sorority dance or the student mixer we all have been waiting for. That’s our dorm life in a nut shell: never a dull moment, is there girls???

Miss Dorothea Ferry, adviser for several years past, resigned this year and has been replaced by an equally splendid person. Miss Jac- quiline Briggs. At irregular intervals throughout the year, each sorority took its opportunity to entertain the other members of the organization with refreshments being a part of the program. The major highlight of the Inter-sorority CounciLs year was the Inter-sorority Ball. At this affair the scholastic cup for the highest scholasic average reached in any sorority during the year, is tradition- ally presented. This year the award was received by Delta Omicron Sorority. To top off a grand and successful year, there was the Inter-sorority House party that was held in May. There is just one comment to he in regard to this affair; that being, we hope Lake Ontario will be wanner next year! Bai-li Raw: Rom1 DiSulv� , JaRf BupgC� � .

Alpha Psi Sorority Honorary Members—Mrs. Georgie Hoke, Miss Harriet Barnard, Mrs. Marion Stein man, .Miss May Gillard, Miss Oorthea Fritz. Twenty-six years ago, a group of thirteen girls who felt the need of friendly sisterhood and loyal companionship, drew up a charter for a sorority under the name of Alpha Psi. It has been the tradition of this sorority to assist its members socially as a supplement to academic training. This year has been a busy one for the girls of Alpha Psi. A progressive dinner was held at various homes to welcome the new upperclassmen into Alpha Psi in November. In December, a Christmas party was given by the girls to entertain members of the three other sororities of the Institute. The rush party for the Freshmen had as its theme, “Breakfast in Hollywood,” with Rose DiSalvo as Master of Ceremonies. A formal pledge dinner climaxed the rushing. This has been another year of pleasant associations for the girls of Alpha Psi. DELTA OMtCRON Hack Raic: Kith-ci Cap� . .Made]inf Smith. Eleanor Covill� . Betty Cleverly. Sally Smilh.

Delta Omicron has entered its twenty-fifth year with great success. Since 1921, its aims have been to establish firm friendship and pro- mote high scholastic standing. Girls of high standards and ideals have built the strong bond of union that exists today among our sorority sisters. Miss Pauline Todd replaced Mrs. Earl Karker as adviser in Novem- ber, Mrs. Karker had been with the sorority for twenty-five years. Round Robins kept sorority sisters informed of latest news during the summer. Under Mrs. Karker’s direction the sorority started off with plans for the Monte Carlo Carnival in September. Delta Omicron entertained the other three sororities at Bevier Building in November and later had its pledge dinner for upperclassmen at Spring House. The sorority-fraternity parties, as well as the Inter-sorority Ball are always a big success and long will be remembered by all. Sorority meetings have been held in dorm apartments, Clark Union, and East- man Lounge, and some of us went to Mrs. Karker’s for Sunday break- fast in January. Freshmen were rushed after Christmas vacation, and a formal pledge dinner was held at the Hotel Rochester. This has been a successful year and all members anticipate more good times as they carry on the traditions of Delta Omicron. Briek Mrj«' i«'.Lc Dori« Verhuct, Kiith R.....

Phi Upsilon Phi Sorority Piii Upsilon Phi started its busy year by combining with the other sororities to welcome the Frosli at the annual Inter-sorority Tea. Next on the social calendar was entertainment for the upperclass pledges at the Normandie Inn. This was followed by a big Rush Party for Freshmen in the old Coach House. Singing, frolicking, and dancing made for a gay time with jeans the “uniform of the day.” Came February and the formal dinner for all pledges and also the “Sweetheart Dance,” sponsored in co-operation with our brother fraternity, Chi Delta Phi, The biggest event of the year, the Inter- sorority Rail in March, long will he remembered by all Phi Upsilon Phi members and their guests. There Is much that can he told about the Inter-Sorority House Party in May but those of us who were there will agree that some things are better left unsaid—the fun could not he related on just this page. Aside from all these social activities, Phi Upsilon Phi has never forgotten that in order to lead a successful sorority life, unity, friend- ship and fidelity, the bywords of our sorority, always must he remem- bered.

Sigma Kappa Delta Sorority Since its founding by nine charter members. Sigma Kappa Delta has represented a sorority of friendship and co-operation. The purpose of this organization is to build character, to establish a high scholastic standard in the student body, and to bring together the girls of all departments, thus esablishing a more friendly feeling. In the fall a pledge dinner was held for upperclassmen at Howard Johnson’s. Soon after, a bang-up ice cream party was held in the Bevier Building for the freshmen rushees. Many dreams came true when everybody bad a chance to mix up her favorite sundae. Freshmen were welcomed into the sorority at a formal dinner held at the Seneca Hotel. All departments of the school were well rep- resented. This year an old inter-sorority tradition returned for the first time in several years, the Inter-sorority Ball. Everybody has been enthusiastic about the renewal of this function. We wish to extend our wishes for the best of luck and happiness to all future SKI) members.

Chi Delta Phi fraternity Delta Delta Society, a forerunner of our present fraternity, was organized in 1914. Soon after it was organized its name was changed to Chi Chi. In 1916, the fraternity purchased a house at 116 Troup St., hut had to surrender this place when its ranks were thinned by enlist- ments for World War I. Returning veterans reorganized the fraternity on May 11, 1920, and changed the name to Chi Delta Phi. At this time, in remembrance of the supreme sacrifice paid by their fallen comrades, they placed three stars in the seal and sister pin. A surge of activities in 1921-44 was highlighted by a Silver Anniversary Dance in 1940, and the win- ning of the seventh consecutive basketball championship over rival fraternities. World War II again depleted our ranks. However, in 1945 the fraternity again became enlarged and 1946 finds it facing a new era of activities. The major event sponsored and conducted by the frater- nity this year was the “Sweetheart Ball ’ At this affair was elected the “Sweetheart of Chi Delta Phi” for this year. Following this event held in December, there came the rush party held at the Spring House. To end up an excellently planned social year for the fraternity, the Chi Della Phi members and their women friends held a Farewell Picnic. Bark Ho : CIutI Cordon E. Fjmo. Vioe-fol LiiD .

The organization became inactive in J 943 due to W orld W ar II and was reorganized in the Fall of 1944 through the efforts of Clarence Tuites, faculty adviser, and twelve students interested in carrying on the activities of the organization. This year was dotted with social activities including the Fall Carnival; the Interfraternity Dance held at the Sheraton Hotel; a pledge dinner held for each block; a Christmas party with it's sister sorority, Delta Omicron; and numerous other parties. The highlight of the Social Calendar was the Annual Dinner Dance at which many Alumni members home from the service were present. Phi Sigma Phi, during the second year of renewed activity, has of- fered to its members a fine spirit of friendship and brotherhood that long will he cherished after its members have graduated from the Institute, It.

We tried so hard that we ran over the budget. In 1942, the dedication was for the boys that were leaving school to serve our government. Today, with the returned, the returning, and those boys yet to return, our dedication is to them. Open at all hours, that was the Techmila s Stall room, and Mat Gingold a permanent resident. His roommates were John Hutcheson and Boh Wright. These fellows not only hum the midnight oil, but also light it at the crack of dawn. Most of the write-ups throughout this annual were done by Ruth Becher and Ruby Jabo.

Our thanks go to a good many others who have done such a wonderful job to help make this year’s hook the product it is.1 W e hope that the memories carried between these covers will, in years to come, renew thoughts of many happy days at BIT during the year 1945-46. 1 Acknowledgement Page in back of Look.

Newman Club The Newman Club of RIT is one of the many hundreds of these clubs which are organized in universities and colleges for the Catholic students attending. The Club was named after Cardinal John Henry Newman, a noted English Catholic churchman, whose idea it was to promote and increase such organizations. The members of the club meet and discuss problems and matters concerning their religious and social life. The history of the Newman Club is relatively short, having been organized in 1943 by Cecilia Halleron, its first president. Each suc- ceeding year finds its membership growing stronger and its activities more successful. The Reverend John E. Roach, Immaculate Conception Parish acts as its moderator, while Mrs. Walter Kinnear of the faculty assists in an advisory capacity. The club’s officers include: President, Dan Gonska; vice-president, Rudolph DiMuzio; Secretary, Anne O'Neill and Treasurer, Joseph Delello, Social activities are held during the year, thereby promoting friend- ship among its members.

Zhe Jrt JCeague To start the year off right, the Art League participated in the Monte Carlo Carnival by exhibiting some of the “masterpieces” of “Monsieur Pierre,” which brought forth both laughter and appreciative whistles from the audience. At the Halloween masquerade sponsored by the League, the new members were given an opportunity to show their versatility and in some cases freshmen disclosed hidden talent in more than the field of art by entertaining the upperclassmen. A traditional sketch trip to the Genesee Valley Park was arranged by the faculty in November. As per usual, the budding artists scattered throughout the scenic area. The first post-war Christmas celebration was truly a success when the Art League presented an effective pageant in the First Presbyterian Church for the benefit of the students of the Institute, Second Raw Standing: William Wocck. juu-ph K.iramtl, Lei litae Junii, Thoin.m Oviling, Drjn Mili'hell.

Chemistry Club The technical title of this organization is Rochester Institute of Technology Chemical Association, Originally this club was formed for the purpose of drawing closer unity among the students of the Chemistry Department. After the first two social affairs, which were a picnic held with the Mechanical and Electrical Departments at the Genesee Valley Park and a banquet at Cutali’s, the women of the department became so overwhelmed by the presence of men (first time in three years) that further interest in the club was assured. Mr, lines, faculty adviser, innoculated life into the RITCA by inviting lecturers to meetings, and having skiing, skating parties and hayrides. The final social event this year was another Industrial Arts Picnic which included the Mechanical, Electrical, and Chemical Depart- ments. The fellows played softball to determine the championship of the three departments. The “Chems” came through with flying colors to defeat the Mechanicals 27-19. Perhaps the fact that the Chem Club 1ms again been active in out- side activities, will prove to some non-believers that the Chem student isn't the “eager beaver'' he is made out to be. fluek Rt rr: Gcorgv ISiriia!.

Mechanical Student Association The Mechanical Students’ Association was organized in 1925 to establish a closer fellowship among the students of the Mechanical Department and to provide a means of broadening the education of its members through the media of speakers, motion pictures, and trips through industrial plants. During regular weekly meetings, speakers from Bausch Lomb, Eastman Kodak and other leading industries in this area gave us the benefit of their experiences. Mr. Ray Stone, consulting engineer for the Hays Corp., spoke about “Power Plant Instruments.” Mr. Cyril Donaldson, MSA faculty adviser, gave a splendid talk on the “Early History of the airplane engine.” The outstanding trip of the season was the visit to the Rochester Gas Elecric Corporation, Movies on modern plastics, steam turbines, automatic screw machines, diesel engines, etc. were presented. The “Boiler Makers Brawl,” an MSA specialty, was held at Clark Union. Dancing and good food helped to make this traditional affair a success. The current year of the MSA owes much of its success to Mr. Donald- son, to our officers, and to Miss Adelaide Zornow who lias prepared our written work for publication. flack Row; DoimIJ Sinilb, Samuel Sfccjnbrrj, Heavy 3 amrscn, Leonard Mom .

Veterans Association of m In November, 1945, the RIT veterans of World War II formed an organization for the purpose of assisting the veteran in solving his problems quickly and efficiently. The membership of this organization has increased rapidly, and its fine scholastic spirit and ability have had a strong appeal to incoming veterans. The first social function, a dinner dance held in January, was very well attended and was a great success. Other enjoyable activities followed. The association has done much to promote friendliness and to unify the veterans in the school. Present members hope that veterans in the ensuing years will carry oil this fine work as long as there is a need for it. The officers that have helped to make this association a success are Joe Delello, president; John Cuthbertson, vice-president; Edward Carey, corresponding secretary; Virginia Stroyan, recording secretary; Maurice Fisher, Treasurer; and Charles Savage, Faculty Adviser, hack Rote: Emily Topping, MadaliBC Salilli.

Photo Zech Camera Club Due to conditions beyond our control, sometimes termed the local draft hoard, the depletion of students in the Photographic Tech- nology Department has in the past two years resulted in the absence of a Camera Club section in the last issues of Techmila. Starting from scratch this year, the Camera Club has slowly, per- haps, hut very surely progressed and as we go to press, is going full speed ahead. To the traditional functions of the Club such as the Freshman picnic, and Photo Tech Banquet, there are added concrete plans for the inaugural of April Fool Dances and Easter Ball, as well as many more salons, and also meetings with the country’s leading photographers and lectures; all of which activities are open to the school at large. The Camera Club is again functioning in the manner and up to the standards it has always maintained, supplementing the classroom with a well balanced cultural and social program designed not only for its immediate members or department hut for all of the members of the Institute.

StaoiuSkrdlu (Pi) Club Ever since the organization of the Etaoin Shrdlu (Pi) Club in 1938. it has been one of the most active organizations in KIT. Its member- ship consists of all the pupils enrolled in the Publishing and Printing Department and this year’s group is large. The Officers of the Club elected at the start of the year are as follows: President, Mathew Gingold; vice-president, Charles Bern- hardt: secretary, Carolyn Ekstrom; and treasurer, Robert Martin. They have contributed much to the success of the Club and we wish to express our sincere thanks to them. We also wish to thank Adviser “Joe” Sorace, for all the assistance and consultation he has given us. The Pi Club would not he complete without him and his excellent advice. We started off the new school year with our annual picnic in Septem- ber. It was held at Genesee Park and was a real success. Later in the first semester the Club took part in the annual carnival held by the school, and many other active get-to-gethers were enjoyed by the members throughout the rest of the year. A real feeling of fellowship has prevailed among all the members and a more pleasant year could not have been wanted. We all hope that the coming year will he even better and look forward to it and the new members that it will bring to us. Back Rea: Ruth Retd. Join Miller.

IT Ljlec A group of approximately fifty students spent just one night a week with Mr. Kenneth Mook, the chorus director, to perform a spectac- ular program for the student body of the Institute this year. This further convinced us that here is really some talented students within the Institute having other interests besides their studies. In October plans were started for the musical section of the Christ- mas assembly, which was one of the best performances of its kind this year and very much a success. Congratulations should go to the co-managers, Shirley Anderson and William Hunnebeck, the officers—Katherine Maybee, secretary; Betty Barrett, treasurer; Bryce Showalter, librarian; Eleanor Peck- ham, assistant librarian; and Mr. Herbert Ulrich, faculty adviser— who have helped to revive the BIT Glee Club this year (1495-46). With the organization and standards established by this group, next year and others to come will have something basic to work with. Here’s hoping they can do as well as this years’ members.

Two fast and furious games were played every M onday evening in the Brick Church gym. From the participants in this league. Coach Lee Fox picked players who showed promise for next year’s Varsity and arranged practice games with different schools in the city to give these promising basketeers a chance to practice together. With other schools formerly on our schedule already playing varsitv basketball, HIT is going to have to fight to keep up with the competition. It is going to take the support of the student body as well as hard work by the boys playing the game for HIT to make a good showing in varsity competition. BOWLING Bowling facilities are provided by the Student Council at the Brick Church Institute, The girls may bowl on Mondays and Wednesdays during the women’s gym classes. The men do their bowling on Thursday nights during the season. Each department in the Institute is represented in the men s league. Because of the co-operative plan in some of the departments, there is a necessity for two separate leagues in each block although teams of one block may compete in other block. The Art department swept the A block league for the initial position and took the two league championship in a close match with the Photo Techs, B block winners. For the first lime, the bowling league held a banquet at the First Presbyterian Church. Here the awards were made to the bowlers and teams having the highest standards in ihe two leagues. II. E.

T E I S Tennis may be played by all students during the Fall and Spring months. When you suddenly discover during a class period on a balmy spring day that your roommate has relieved herself of all scholarly duties—she is un- doubtedly in one of two places, Genesee Park or at the tennis courts. The Ri f courts are located on Fitzhugh Street, so are easily accessible for every- one. Until dusk every evening, students may he seen slamming or lobbing the balls back and forth over the nets, then they wander home, weary but satisfied by their exercise. Tennis is an excellent sport-—-it requires the use of the majority of the muscles and is an excellent pickup for the tired, rundown student. SWIMM ING Every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon the Natatorium on South Avenue is open to KIT women students. It’s a very welcome advantage because during winter we all miss the summer’s swimming. The girls are provided with all the modern facilities, including heated locker rooms, showers, and hair dryers. Swimming is a very enjoyable way of spending an hour or two on an afternoon, and I in sure we all enjoy having this privilege presented to us. C, HAY SMITH-SURREY INC.
