During the Iunior year, a number of candidates are nominated by the classy the names are then sent to a faculty committee who elect eight students of high character, commend- able scholarship and notable school spirit to constitute the color guard. Of these, one carries the American flag and one the school flag, each of whom is attended by two other boys. Two students are elected besides these six, as alternates. - At the beginning of each assembly, the student body stands, as the flags are borne to the platform, The Star Spangled Banner is played while the students salute the flag: and then the two flags are placed in standards for the remainder of the assembly program, after which they are borne ahead of the student body, out of the auditorium. Visitors, to whom this is a novel and effective assembly ceremony, find its quiet dignity impressive, in Buffalo Technical High School, the presen- tation and salute of colors has become a tradition, and the office of color guard, an honor comparable to no other which the school may bestow.

Hereth Seniofz. eouncfll LEE PECK EDWARD PETIT C. GORDEN RYTHER, lR. RAYMOND HERETH GEORGE CAMPBELL 0 Shortly after the election of the Senior Class officers, the Senior Council was selected by the class. Those selected were: Edward Petit and Lee Peck from lO8, C. Cordon Ryther, Ir., and Raymond Hereth from lOl, and George Campbell from lU7. These members were chosen for the purpose of providing a represen- tative form of class government to carry out the activities of the Senior Class. The council, together with the class officers, comprise the govern- ing body of the Seniors. As part of its routine business, the Council prepared and presented an excellent Class Day program, planned and sponsored the Tech Senior Skate and Dance Cthe largest in the history of Scott'sl, and the Senior Banquet. ln addition they chose and presented the class gift to the school. Through the splendid cooperation of the faculty advisers, Mrs. Brooks, Miss Flavin, Miss Herlihy, Mr. Andrus, and Mr. Klinck, the class of '37 has had a most successful year. May this same enjoyable success continue to crown the efforts of the class of 1938. 7ecf11wubn 1937 Pauicfenfa Nicbwu 0 On behalf of the Class of 1937, l extend a most cordial welcome to you who have gathered to Witness our Class Day festivities. We sincerely trust that you will enjoy these traditional exercises with us. In the past four years, which are but a short period of time in a man's life, We have been guided by a system Whose philosophy is as old as it is rational. We have been fortunate not only in receiving a carefully correlated course of study preparing us to participate in the Work of our community, but also in becoming familiar with sports, books and hobbies, to enable us to use profitably our leisure hours. Another admir- able prerequisite is that of our training in the social organizations Which, by enabl- ing us to associate pleasantly with our fellow men, has given us an invaluable qual- ity which assures happiness. H' It t it ,, ', In this audience are our parents, Without who generous efforts this education could not have been obtained and without whose support, example and encourage- ment, even the finest course of study could produce little success. Realizing this, we bid them a most sincere Welcome. The faculty has Watched our efforts and our emergence from a sea of trouble to this fair haven of successful termination of the four-year voyage. Let them also re- joice With us today. ln leaving our Alma Mater, we Wish to pledge it our sincere cooperation and loy- alty, for it has embedded in every one of its sons a love and honor for its name. A MARK Locsv. '7ecAfon-ian 193 7 Jana, af me erm of 1937 0 News Flash: From Buffalo, N. Y. Through the Associated Press. That renowned student, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Grammar School of Buffalo, N. Y., has enrolled at Technical High School. The name, Class of l937, has been bestowed upon him, along with the privilege of being addressed as Frosh by his colleagues. When in- terviewed, Frosh, being a modest chap, frankly stated that he was imbued with the never die spirit and willingly explained how he intended to manifest it intellectual, social, and athletic activities. He further admitted that he intended to become a leader in all high school organizations. Thus spoke the announcer over WBEN on the Sth day of September in the year 1933. With such a vista stretching before him into the future, '37 was given a warm reception. This he might have enjoyed more, had he not been frightened almost to death and struggling to conceal his fear. However, when '37 found his confidence and his hidden ability, all obstacles vanished from his path. With the exception of a few engagements with the faculty, his initial year was very successful. He made a good start in the educational race. From the crack of the gun which released young '37 from his training quarters in Rooms 1-308-309-311 and 319, he was well up in front with the rest of the field. Gradually the component parts of '37 began to be recognized as separate entities all striving towards the same goal. A few contributed to the prestige of the class. Who started the Astronomical Society? Faye Hilbert and George Deverall. Who car- ried the freshman banner to victory in the Freshman-Sophomore debate on the subject of immigration? Lee Peck, Anthony Fasolina, and Michael Paladino. lntellectually, '37 lived up to his boast. For seven Freshman names appeared upon the honor roll six times. The climax of the year was Freshman Assembly Day, when, under the ca- pable direction of Miss Thiel, an excellent program was presented. Still forging ahead, young '37 took the next lap of the race in high. With his nick- name changed to soph and new training quarters arranged for him in Rooms 102- 120-213 and 310, he was a 2 to l favorite. Anxious to render his best services, '37 lost no time in selecting capable leaders for the year. Samuel Sacco was elected presi- dent: Paul Hammer, vice-president, and Iohn Reilly, secretary-treasurer. For a warm- up, another victory in Freshman-Sophomore Debate, this time on socialized medicine. Edward Petit, joseph Millemaci and Anthony D'Agostino were the conquerors. Then, with Fraulein Schultz as a most conscientious adviser, '37 treated the Technicaites to a morning of enjoyment, when Sophomores with histrionic talent presented the play, Romance in a Rummage Shop. And what of athletic achievement in the second lap of '37 race? Did he outdo his competitors, the juniors and Seniors? Not quite. But he did boast an All-High Tackler -Paul Hammer. Furthermore, '37 placed at least one letterman in every sport. Examination of the six honor rolls of 1934-1935 proves that '37 could devote half his time to athletics and still have seven names listed among those foremost in scholarship. And the reward-the prize-for all these achievements?-the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?-the compensation of all this effort? the name Iuniors hon- estly earned. In reviewing this history, the writer pauses at this point to express his regret for the retirement of the former principal of Technical High School, Mr. David H. Childs, and to welcome his successor, Mr. Richard R.Dry, and Mr. C. Gordon Ryther, assistant principal, who took up their new tasks in September, 1935. Passing out of the rank of Lower Classmen, '37 assumed the duties of the high- er life. He covered his next stretch of distance in peerless form. The elected offi- cers proved efficient, each in his own department. President, August Geib: Vice-Presi- dent, Peter Newman: Secretary, Raymond West: treasurer, Edward Petit: and Ser- geant-at-Arms, Miles Fries. So '37 took over the majority of positions on many of the teams, and in student organizations, all in accordance with his original ambition '7 1937 and his progressive nature. We are not surprised, therefore, to find that Rudolph Doc- tore received the Buffalo Evening News all-high golf award for his brilliant playing, and that once again, Captain Paul Hammer was selected as all-high tackle. The high point of the year came with the presentation of the Annual lunior Day Assembly pro- gram. Gilbert and Sullivan's operetta, H.M.S. Pinafore was presented under the di- rection of Mr. Carl Munn. Over a third of '37's component parts contributing to its success. Near the close of the third year of '37's sojourn at Tech, an event occurred-the Moving Up ceremony on Senior Class Day. As those who for nearly a year had oc- cupied the center seats in the auditorium went to the platform, Iuniors took their places to enjoy for a few brief moments a foretaste of the privilege which would be theirs by right all through the coming year. This history has now reached the height of September, 1936. Our hero, Class of '37, looks back over three long years to the days when he was hailed as Frosh. He has become a Senior. After a close, hard-fought election, Mark Locey emerged as president: Loren Kerwin, vice-president: Donald Scheu, secretary: Chinn Ming, treas- urer: and Fred Novits, Sergeant-at-Arms. Now events crowd thick and fast, and in many phases of life 1937 wins honor. First, how fares the mature '37 in athletics? Doctor, Geib, Belton and Hereth are but a few of the many Senior sportsmen who represent the interests of Tech in golf- footbal1-basketball-baseball. Second, what has he done socially? How many attend- ed '37's Senior Skate and Dance? This would be too difficult for even the foremost mathematician to figure, so 1 might say: Who didn't attend '37's Senior Skate and Dance? The proceeds from this gala event provide means for the Senior Banquet, which is held later in the year. Third, where does he stand in scholarship? We find 208 to be graduating in Iune. Of these, 27 are in the Advertising Arts Course: 36 in Electrical: 24 in Building Design and Construction: 21 in College Preparatory: 34 in Industrial Chemistry: 14 in Machine Design, and 52 in the General Course. And so breezing into the home stretch, '37 crosses the line to Senior Day, sufficient in itself to bind us inseparably to our Alma Mater in deep love and everlasting loy- alty. EDWARD FISCHLE 7ecfd'anian 1937 efadfi SETTING: The Main Salon of the Trans-Atlantic Clipper, the newest development in passenger aircraft. The Clipper is in a New York landing station and is soon to start its flight for London, England, a jaunt of six hours. TIME: Six P. M. on a Tuesday in Iune, 1957. CHARACTERS: EDWARD PETIT-U. S. advisory representative to the United European States Conference. LEE PECK-Nominee for governor of New York of the Anti-Graft Party, accompany- ing Mr. Petit. DONALD DELLMORE-Commander of the Clipper. ROBERT SOUTHALL-Noted television engineer. LUCILLE BEARDSLEY THROCKTON-A handsome and prosperous passenger on the Clipper. Other passengers. SCENE: The salon is a large and elegant room where five passengers read or talk while waiting for the takeoff. Two men, Mr. Peck and Mr. Petit, enter, talking. Petit: Lee, it certainly was our misfortune, having to sail today, on the eve of the Tech Alumni Reunion. Peck: Yes, Ed. This is our twentieth anniversary, too, so our lads will take an active part. Even before I left Buffalo, Donald Becker, of the wellknown law firm of Beck- er, Celli and Gates-you remember Serio Celli and Herbert Gates-they are all practicing in Chicago-had arrived to act as chairman of the reception committee. He brought Edward Collier, who has been playing in Chicago, with him. Petit: What is Collier playing now? Peck: Believe it or not, he has toured half the country With Romeo cmd lllliefu Gnd The Humor of Huqettef' They offset one another, you see. Petit: How did he come to play Shakespeare? Peck: Another local boy makes good vio Edwardo l:'ischle's Television Test and Tour --from ham to Hamlet sort of rise. Q Petit: I flew to New York from Palm SprinQ'S with PCIU1 Mecca and his Swish OfCl'1eS- tra, He woe going to the Reunion to volunteer the services of his band. Victor Heppner is ploying with him now, but is retiring to Hawaii, to rest henceforth. COne of the passengers behind them hos been listening and watching. He leans forward to interrupt:l Pardon me, gentlemen, but I thought I heard you mention Buffalo Tech. It was my school so l - Stops in surprise. I Why, it's Eddie and Lee Peck! How are you boys? Petit: Robert Southall! By love, it is a long time since I saw you. Peck: Greetings, fellow Techtonianl Why aren't you at the Reunion? Southall: I was in Buffalo until yesterday with my two partners, Francis Matus and Richard Gall, and I intended to stay for it, but our television interests abroad de- manded attention. I expected, then, to join Samuel Sortisio who has just taken over Standard Oil Company, for this trip, but he is completing another deal with the Achatz, Novits, and Coyle Steamship Lines, so he could not leave now. By the way, Petit, I though I read that you were going abroad with Mark Locey. Petit: Mark left on the plane before this: he is probably at the Conference now and wishing he were in Buffalo at the reunion instead. He has attended an average of fifteen conferences a year for twenty years, as a representative of some- thing or other. Southall: I was just reading an article in this paper about the celebrities who will be present at the reunion. fLooks through the paper.J Listen to this: 'Tonight beneath the roof of the erstwhile Buffalo Technical High School, now the Buffalo Technical Col- lege of Related Sciences, Dean C. Gordon Ryther, Ir., will welcome all former grad-- uates. The Program Committee includes: Dr. Chinn Ming, Director of the Depart- ment of Chemistry: Professor Edward Lipowski, of Modern Art and Design: Profes- sor Iohn I. Reilly, of Structural Design: Dr. Neil Brown, of Electricity, and Professor Iohn Stacey of Aeronautical Engineering. '7ecfzbmbn 1937 'Many well known graduates are returning for this reunion: among them are Henry P. Vogt, wealthy newspaper owner, who is a research chemist for recreation: his Winchellian columnist and man about Town, Faye Hilbert: his ace reporter and globe trotter, William Devonshire: the sports commentators, joseph Tuczapski and Leo Skrobacz: the Yarvard football coach, Richard D. Kentner: the Olympic swim- mer, Alexander Stefanik: Commander Robert Ertell of West oint, and Admiral Cedio Saltarelli of Annapolis. 'Mr. August Geib and Mr. Dexter P. Ftumsey, who recently took over the Fed- eral Housing Project, to put it on a paying basis, have arrived from Washington. While here, they say they will combine business with pleasure. 'Mr. Peter Newman and Miss Florence Petrino, who have just received the Motion Picture Academy award for their brilliant performance in The Conquest of Mars, have returned to Buffalo for the reunion.' That just gives an idea of the importance of this reunion ffolding paper: stops to scrutinize another gentleman who has entered the room, Commander Dellmorel. Petit falso noticingl: Don-Donald Dellmore! This is a surprise! How are you, old man? Dellmore: Hello, Edl Hello, boys. fCordially shaking hands.l Peck: We can have a reunion right here on board! Dellmore: We may be able to do that. I've been forward ever since we took off, talk- ing to Ray Zier, Kendall Hermans, and Robert Donofrio, the pilots of the Clipper. They tell me Edward Kordinak and Angelo Zaccagnino, who are also pilots, flew to Buffalo for the reunion. Chester Kajdan, the managing director of a coast-to-coast air line, was a passenger bound for the same destination. By the way, another Tech graduate is on this plane, Mrs. Throcton. She was Lucille Beardsley. Do you remember her? Petit: Of course. Where is she? Peck: Here she is now. Southall: Mrs, Throckton-Lucille! Lucille: Well, gentlemen, I thought the Tech reunion was in Buffalo! How are you enjoying the trip? The hostess tells me we are flying over Newfoundland now. Peck: The trip is fine, but we keep recalling old days and old friends, and I fear we are a little envious. Lucille: There are others who long to be there just as much. Lillian DeGraff started just as we did for a non-stop flight through the stratosphere, from New York around the world and back. She hopes to break the record of ten hours. Petit: I heard about that. It was Amelia Earhart twenty years ago, but Lillian DeGraft today. There will not be many girls there to represent our class. Do you know of any others who will be at the reunion? Lucille: August Konefal, the fashion expert. is bringing his gown creator, Evelyn Stein. She will adequately represent the girls, as will Betha Daughtry, who is a kinder- garten authority: Gladys Brown, who married an architect. and Rose Priore, a beau- tician whose name is on all sorts of her preparations. Elizabeth Ioseph has been traveling in Iapan, but she may be there. CAt this point a passenger turns on the radio. Listenll And in the World of sports, Willifm Geary has been chosen football coach of the Buffalo Technical College. He wi be honored tonight at an Alumni Dinner with All-American Michael Smereka, whose basketball coaching has made history. Another notable guest will be Edward Herrle who revised the rules of basketball in America. Mr. Donald Kochersberger. the humorist, will be toastmaster, and Ioseph Gottstein, a notable after-dinner speaker, will address his audience on: 'Ten Years of Changes in Sports' As I leave you now, ladies and gentlemen, I, too, will join the celebration. This is Gordon Lorig, your Sports Commentator. CPassenger changes the program? Peck: We miss an honorary dinner, too. Radio: This program has come to you through the courtesy of the All-American Air Lines owned by Miles Fries and Bene Ehret. CProgram is again changed.l Southall: I remember those two. They graduated with us, didn't they? 7edaZ'omhn 7937 Radio: You will now hear Merrills 'Stokowski' Rutledge and his Philharmonic Orches- tra, featuring the golden voice of William Dungan. This program is sponsored by the All Glass and Steel Home Building Corporation of which Bernard Barthelmy and Francis Bagley are the designers and owners. This is Stanley Popko speak- mg. Dellmore: Time for the parachute test. iSpeaking to all passengersj Parachute test at the front of the ship, ladies and gentlemen, please. IAII leave except Southall, Peck, Dellmore and Petit.l Lucille: Have you tried the test? Southall: Yes, we believe in getitng things over. Dellmore: Look, llooking out the windowl, we are passing over the Modemu. the new ocean liner returning from Europe. Peck: On its way over that ship carried cr cargo of Diesel engines from Stewart Watts Company, designed by Allen Owen and Raymond Terepiny Rudolph Doctor sailed on it for his annual golf at St. Andrews in Scotland. Petit: Yes, and it is bringing back three American chemists, Slepian, Puglisi and Kass, who have been doing research on cool heat. A Southall: They must be with Gallisdorfer, Courtade and Green, who own and origi- nated the Tabloid Food Dispensaries. You know,-no food, just tablets of vitamins, calories, and such. Dellmore: The mention of those names reminds me of Richard Reinnagle, the television idol, who renounced a career in the electrical world, to satisfy a million feminine hearts. Southall: William Bandla was my pal. He is a member of the Electro-Energo Com- pany of Barrett, Baynes, Bibjack and Bandla, who became known for their feat of breaking down the ion through high frequency machines. Peck: Really recalling old times, aren't we? Nor are we the only ones tonight. CThe passengers retum.l Dellmore: Sit here, Lucille. Petit: You Weren't long. Dellmore: No! We have with us the expert parachute man, Ioseph Millemaci. Now let us not be downcast. In just a while we will be in England and we can have a reunion of '37 by ourselves. Lucille: Good! Ray 'Dazzler' Hereth, the star pitcher of the Pittsburgh team, is in En- gland vacationing now. We can contact him. By the way, here is Loron Kerwin's latest book, Of Life and Its More Serious Aspects' It is a philosophical study, I understand, and quite unlike his clinical novels. Peck: I had not seen it, but I heard Frederick Grafs opera last week. How do they do it? Dellmore: I wonder that every time I see Nick Strascina's pictures. He received another prize last week. He is neo-sur-image platist. Petit: Do you remmber Patrick Kane? He manages the Mid-west Transcontinental Transport Terminal that Howard Schmidt and Iames Conwell designed. He is in England now, too. We will have him join us. Southall: Edward Kelly is in Ireland, where he is directing a sweepstake. He should be able to meet with us. Lucille: Angelo Alberalla, who has the 'Omni-Lingual' Advertising Concern, is in Paris. I read of his departure with his partner, Francis Pratt, a few days ago. Dellmore: This will be a real party! Some day we will have a reunion of all '37, I'm going to send some messages and see our pilot. Lucille: Here is the 'North and South American Reviewz' cover by Earl Obermeyer, edi- torial by Chester Flicinski, and a story by Ioseph Cox. They must be running the magazine completely. Petit: I am glad to see that magazine. It is being discussed everywhere. Dellmore: It is time for dinner. Let us go to the dining salon, where we can complete our plans before reaching London. Peck: Goodl Sea air makes one hungry. Come, Lucille, and Edward. '7 1937 .Ea4lZ0dZanJ'7 0 We, the 1937 Senior Class of Buffalo Technical High School, being of a sane mind, do hereby declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, thereby nullifying any other wills or documents. To the faculty we leave a sincere feeling of appreciation for the help and guid- ance they have willingly given us during the course of our school life. To the football team of next year, we will the ability of August Geib to cover the ground on the way down field. We give and bequeath to the Iunior Class as a whole the combined knowledge of Peter Newman and Dick Kentner, in history and economics. Norman Knab leaves his place on the honor roll to Iohn McBride. To Walter Stopinski, we give Earl Obermeyer's mathematical skill. To William La Piana, we give C. Stewart Watt's record of perfect attendance. To Alfred Nowak we leave Donald Scheu's knowledge of historical events. Henry Vogt leaves a few inches of his height to Basil Zelli, our diminutive cheer- leader. To Carlton Gerbrect we give Donald Kochersbergefs keen sense of humor. We give and bequeath Neil Brown's vocabulary to Philip Ensmenger. Elmer E. Doller leaves his ability to make excuses to Donald Stoner. To Herbert Kroening we leave William Devonshire's ability to fall asleep while history is in the making. To someone who needs it we leave Gordon Ryther's dependability coupled with his merry smile and playful ways. William Bandla's silence we give to Kenneth Phillips. Lucille Beardsley leaves her poise and dignity to Rose Change. Herbert Gates leaves his assurance to the timid Edward Haller. We give and bequeath Merrills Rutledge's ability in art to Robert Pellien. We leave Frederick Graf's outstanding musical ability to Robert Grupp to be used in manipulating the bass viol.

LAWYER ALLEN OWEN. 7ecfdonian 1937 71 0 Once again, as the years roll on, it is time for the Senior Class to bid hail and farewell to the corridors and classrooms that have been our abode of learning for the past four years. When we leave this institution we emerge into the dawn of a new day, for our commencement is at hand, marking not the end of student life, alone, but the begin- ning of a new career. The knowledge that has been acquired here will be supple- mented in the business and industrial world of tomorrow where we will be numbered among its citizens and where, happily, some of our group may prove leaders by vir- tue of the rational and progressive thought developed in this school. . lt is given to the best of us but to touch the hem of wisdom's garment: here in Technical High School we have been granted a broad and splendid background which, developed rightly, will enable each one of us to attain his ambitions in life: to enter a future which is for us uncharted and uncertain, but bright with the confi- dence of courageous hearts and minds. As the years pass may we constantly renew our golden friendships in the shadow of our Alma Mater. In these associations may we confirm the sterling qualities in- culcated in each one of us, and may the trials of life be sweetened by the felicities of friendship. In this, our farewell to you, our principal and faculty, who so untiringly guided us both mentally and morally in the years of our secondary education, we find we cannot adequately thank you. The futility of words to express heartfelt appreciation for encouragement, instruction, correction, inspiration, and patience, is most apparent upon an occasion like this. We can only prove by action and earnest effort that the seed has borne fruit. The numerous sacrifices of our parents, sacrifices which enabled us to reach our goal, should be life-time fuel for the lamps of devotion carried in our hearts for them. Let it never be forgotten, that save for the steady and unreluctant aid of our fathers and mothers there would be few students to graduate in any school. We look back on four years of accomplishment with no regrets. We have strug- gled to see the fulfillment of our ambitions. To fall by the wayside or rest on the oars might have been more pleasant on a few occasions of discouragement, but prov- identially we held steadfast to our purpose. Now that we are about to graduate we feel that the writer Goethe has expressed most adequately the ideal of the Class of 1937: Aims of a higher order, even though they be not fulfilled, are in them- selves more valuable, than lower ones entirely fulfilled.

EDGAR KOCH 0 We, the class of l939, with a registration of three hundred, have under the guid- ance of Sophomore officers, council, and advisers ended the half-way mark of our school career. As Sophomores we have always striven to secure the good opinion of the teach- ers with whom we came in contact, and as we start the last half of our journey, we hope to continue this and to improve our scholastic standing as well. We have proven our willingness to render the school our services, by represent' ing the school in athletics: in football two of our fellows played with the varsity, Lee- land Iones and William Tugendy and Norman Breissinger was a member of the regular basketball team. Our class has produced some excellent debaters, among whom were I-Iarold Smoclc, Werner Rogers, Leeland Iones, and Sidney Pleskin. We emerged victorious from our Freshman-Sophomore Debate. Mr. Iones also won the Oratorical Contest, his topic being, War Propaganda. The day for which we all waited was the Sophomore Day, when a group of our fellow classmates presented a program of dramatic and musical interest, produced under the direction of Miss Schultz. We wish to express our gratitude to Miss Schultz and Miss Thiel for their untiring efforts in advising and successfully guiding us through our second year at Tech. '7echz2-mm 1937 R. Ififest, l'I.

R AYMOND WEST 0 As the end ot our junior year approaches, we, the class ot '38, hope that by our accomplishments we have proven ourselves worthy to carry on the high traditions oi Technical in our senior year. We were the first group to enter Technical as selected freshmen, and the high scholarship ot our class is shown by the large number receiving honor awards. Wehave rounded out our school lite with extra curricular activities, most prominent ot which is athletics. Many juniors are wearing major or minor letters earned in every division oi sports. We have been able to demonstrate our prowess in other activities, including societies, debate, and music. Among the many things tor which we wish to express our gratitude to our taculty adviser, Mr. Munn, is his assistance in producing Trial by Iuryf' This musical com- edy was presented on our class day, a gala day tor juniors. The success ot this play was due to the hard work of the cast. The entire class cooperated and showed their school spirit by wearing the maroon and white button. The class extends hearty thanks to lVIr, Dry, the taculty, and fellow students, who have contributed so much to make this year both prolitable and enjoyable. We otter our best wishes to the departing seniors who have set tor us so excellent an example. 1937 First Row- Schultz, G. Nuthall, N. Marino, F. Lewandowski. Second Row E. Bauer, R. Clark, R.

WILLIAM SCHULTZ 0 The Fifth Year Graduating Class of 1937 has followed the original plan of the fifth year work inaugurated in the spring of l935. Our class, numbering forty, entered into this work September, l936, the group di' viding into the Electrical, Air-conditioning, and Chemistry Courses. A new subject was introduced to the Fifth Year students, called industrial problems and management, a half term being devoted to each. Stock markets, taxation, trans- portation, insurance, banks, and credit, were discussed. Oral reports, given weekly by the industrial students, have proven both popular and profitable. Many speakers have addressed the Industrial Problems class, presenting invaluable material regard- ing industry. Among these speakers were Mr. Walter McCausland, of the Interna- tional Railway Company, who spoke on the Value of Transportation to the Commu- nity, Mr. Fenninger, of the State Board of Technical Education, and Messrs. Seilheimer and Sereiter of the State Taxation and Finance Department, who instructed the students on the method of taxation in the State of New York. 7 1937 First Row-L. Parrino, W. Schultz, G.

White. 44291 ffeaa Glau Engineering mathematics which was introduced into our courses has brought us into close relation with the problems found in industry. Advanced Work has been thoroughly covered, together with the study of analysis. Fifth year English consisted of problems encountered in business and in industry. Units on advertising and jour- nalism have given us a solid foundation for industrial application. Chemistry in the fifth year concerns itself chiefly with advanced practical work. Commercial chemistry was also undertaken. The Air-conditioning Course, introduced originally by Technical High School, had by far the largest enrollment. The primary objective of this course is to thoroughly prepare our students for employment along the field of Air-conditioning. The fifth year Electrical Course was the most thorough. Advanced study of the theory of alternating currents, which included symmetrical components, machinery and vector notation, were thoroughly taught. Electronics, the study of vacuum tubes as ap- plied in industry, was the central feature of the Whole course. Industrial applications of electronic equipment study included Welding timers, photo-cell counters, thyratron stage lighting, vacuum tube rectification, circuits and public address systems. Without a doubt the fifth year courses offered by Technical High School are a great asset to us who plan to enter either college or industry. 7 I9-37 ROOM 308 Albini, Ilio Buscemi, Richard Copper, La Rue H.

EUGENE MURPHY 0 This year the halls of Tech rang with voices of five hundred and fifty freshmen, the largest freshman enrollment in the history of Technical High School. Our class officers were elected in the early part of the year, and they wish to extend their grati- tude to the class for the honor bestowed upon them and the faith placed in them to lead the freshmen through a successful first year. A number of freshmen have represented their class in the honor roll quite consis- tently. We were also represented in school athletics, placing candidates on the foot- ball, cross-country, and basketball teams. Gur class will be represented in all the acti- vities during our more active years to come. The freshman class wishes to extend their thanks and appreciation to their teachers for the untiring efforts and the encouragement rendered the inexperienced freshmen during the first weeks of new school life. 7 1937 ku W. fxff?

In the fall of l936 the system was operated by the senior monitors and Mr. Palmer. The Sigma Mu Omicron was organized by the senior monitors in l936 to create enthusiasm for cooperation and dependability, to stimulate a de- sire to render service, to promote leadership, and to encourage the devel- opment of these qualities in the members. The organziation Was started for the purpose of helping the faculty adviser to operate the system. Various committees have been appointed to carry out the activities of the organization. The active membership is limited to seniors and fifth year students. Lower classmen may be associate members to give visitors every courtesy and to strive to hold high the name of Technical High School. 7 1937 First Row- AI. Lilley, I. Andrycha, L. Overton, R.

The club was organized for the students who were interested in col- lecting, so they could get a more diversified knowledge of stamps and coins, both old and new. During the year we have had several auctions, bourses, and lectures, concerning the history of stamps and coins, which were very interesting. The Buffalo Stamp Club and the Buffalo Evening News sponsored a Iunior Stamp Collectors' Exhibition at the Grosvenor Library, where two of the club members Won prizes. The club Won first prize, a blue ribbon, in the revenue class, by a stamp submitted by Henry Schmidt, and second prize, a red ribbon, in the airmail class, through the contribution of Charles Mahler. On April l5th,, the Tau Kappa Chi had charge of the assembly pro- gram. Mr. Rollin Flower, stamp editor of the Buffalo Evening News, gave an interesting lecture on the Pony Express, illustrating his lecture with pictures. '7ecfnfovuhn 1937 First Row--Henry I. Pawlak, A.

The Tech Glee Club, which was called the Sophomore Glee Club last year, gave many notable performances. lt sang in the city-wide Spring Festival at the Elmwood Music Hall, the Spring Entertainment at Tech, acted as sailors in the operetta, Pinafore, and sang at the Christmas Assembly at Tech. This year Robert Dungan and Henry I. Pawlak represented Tech at the annual voice contest held at the Hutchinson Central High School.

KYRL DEE 0 Tech's Debate Club, the Delta Chi, was organized in l928, through the efforts of Miss Dorothy Grauer, our faculty adviser. Its main purpose is to promote good fellowship among the debaters, although Delta Chi also seeks to furnish Tech with entertainment and education, through debate. Since most of its leaders are particularly active in Varsity Debate, this organization has a limited time in which to accomplish a great deal. It has had interesting and educational programs at the meetings. Following its usual custom, the Delta Chi sponsored a Freshman-Sophomore Debate in the autumn. The Sophomores broke a tie and now lead by five victories to four for the Freshmen. It was one of the most enjoyable of a long series of debates. v It is also the custom of the Delta Chi to sponsor a book drive every two years for the benefit of the school library. ln April an induction supper was held and many new members were admitted. May next year be equally profitable and successful. 7 1937 first Row P. Christ, l. Wade, S. Pleslcin, R Change, 1. Koelmel, E. Steger. Second Row -R. Mulke, S. Eagan, L. Eeardsley, Miss D. Crauer, E.

EDWARD STEGER 0 A year ago, the Tech Dramatic Club was founded by certain mem- bers of the Freshmen Public Speaking Class. lt was then called the Freshmen Dramatic Club. This year the policy was changed to include all students. As a result many upper-classmen have joined. Although the club has made no attempt to include a great number of members, the present group are enthusiastic and regularly attend the weekly meetings. This organization gives an opportunity to all students interested in developing their powers of speech and dramatic action. Since the club includes members of the Freshmen Class, students are able to continue their dramatic work throughout four or five years. One of the first social events on our calendar was a gay Halloween Party. The next highlight was the Christmas Play, acclaimed by many as the greatest dramatic success ever produced at Tech. Our next feat was to sponsor two successful contests, one for students interested in play- writing, won by Allen Iacobs, the other for those who wished to test their dramatic ability, won by Lucille Beardsley. Still enthusiastic from our recent encounter with the success we had met in our contests, we turned to producing plays again. This time, a unique one-act play, Not Such a Goose, was the happy result. Furthermore, we have been well represented in the Iunior and Sopho- more plays, the Tech Revue, and the Kappa Sigma Phi Declamation Con- tests. As a finale to this year of cooperative activity we are planning a farewell party for those of our members who will graduate this lune. 7 i937 F Q Kappa irst Row K. Lingle, D, Scheu, E, Petit, R.

BISHCP 0 Kappa Sigma Phi, the oldest society in Tech, was organized in l909 by the late Dr. Daniel Upton, then principal of the school. Dr. Upton es- tablished the organization as an honor society and chose the charter mem- bers for their excellence in character and scholarship. These two ideals, sterling character and superior scholarship, have been kept in mind throughout the years whenever new members have been admitted. Thus we have striven to keep Kappa Sig representative of the best that Tech has had to offer. But character and scholarship are not our only watchwords. We aim to be useful in practical Ways. Those most nearly concerned, remember that during the principalship of its founder, the members were appealed to in critical situations of school affairs. Doctor l-lurrel, Dr. Upton's successor, likewise relied upon Kappa Sigma Phi for assistance. Mr. Childs and Mr. Dry have carried on the custom by turning to this fraternity for cooperation. Annually, on or near March 9, Kappa Sigma Phi sponsors a declama- tion contest in celebration of the anniversary of its founding on that date. On the evening of the same day, the active and passive chapters of the society assemble for a fraternal banquet. This is the outstanding social event for the members, although they frequently get together for informal good times. It is, indeed, a rare privilege, filling the fortunate ones with pride, and inspiring them to be worthy of the respect of students and faculty. '7ecfr-Ionian 1937 First Row Mr. C. C. Bishop, D.

EMIL WIESINGER 0 Tau Epsilon Sigma, the Electrical Society of Tech, was founded in 1922, with a membership of ten. All sophomores, juniors, seniors, and post- graduates in the Electrical course are eligible for membership. Anyone in- terested in electricity, may join, with the consent of the members. Tau Epsilon Sigma is a member of the Electrical Society of Buffalo and has the privilege of attending their meetings and lectures. This society holds its meetings every Tuesday in room 210. One meet- ing of every month is held at the home of one of its members. This helps keep alive the fellowship of the members of the society. On Thursday, October 22, 1936, the annual induction and investure ceremony was held at the Central Y. M. C. A. Mr. Klinck, Mr. Bishop, and members of the passive chapter gave short talks. December 23, 1936, this society held a successful skate and dance at Scott's Roller Rink from the proceeds of which, a radio was given to the school to be used in the auditorium. Diplomas and sweaters were presented to the members oi the society. A theater party was held on April 23 of this year. The members of Tau Epsilon Sigma wish to thank Mr. Ranney for his kindness and cooperation, as faculty adviser, in the past years.

ANDRUS I Fourteen years ago, the Tech Chemistry Club, formally known as the Sigma Phi Sigma, was organized with the purpose of furthering the stu- dents' interest in chemistry and promoting closer friendship among the students of the Industrial Chemistry Course. The records tell of remark- able success, under the supervision of our faculty adviser, Mr. Andrus. Students of the Chemistry Course are eligible for membership and others may join if application is approved by the registration committee. This year the club has a record-breaking membership of fifty-two students. Meetings are held each Friday where experiments are presented by active members, and scientific talks are given by noted persons. Up to the present we have had the pleasure of hearing lectures given by Dr. Svirbely of Canisius College: Mr. Horden of Dupont Rayon, Mr. Winton, Mr. Brooks, and Mr. Greenwood of the school faculty. Three Sigma Phi Sigma medals are awarded at the close of each year to the outstanding students of the three chemistry classes, the sopho- more, junior and senior. lt is a high honor for those who receive such recognition. To the members of next year's chapter, We wish success for the con- tinuation of the ideals and principles of the organization set forth by our predecessors. 7 1937 First Row-f-L. Peck, N. Marino, E.

Rarll cuuf gall 366618 I Each year two sets of debates are held, in which the negative team re- mains at home and the affirmative visits another school. Both debates are witnessed by the student body at a morning assembly. Tech showed promise of an excellent year when the negative team de- feated Bennett 9-6 on the subject, Resolved, That the lndustrial Union is preferable to the Craft Union. Edward Petit and Lee Peck, who had made a winning combination last year, argued in a convincing manner. The hopes for a championship team were lowered when the affirmative team was defeated at Hutchinson ll-4. ln this debate commendable work was done by joseph Davis who graduated in january. The spring debates found Tech injured badly. Three of the varsity team had left school and were replaced by joseph Millazzo, Sidney Ples- kin, and Leland jones, all inexperienced boys. The subject was: Resolved, That Congress should be empowered to regulate maximum hours and mini- mum wages. ln spite of tremendous handicaps Tech lost two very close decisions to Riverside and Grover Cleveland, 8?-7 and 9-6, respectively. Edward Petit, debating since his junior year, and Lee Peck, since his sophomore year, are the only two debaters not returning next year. Debate has finally reached its true heights at Tech, for letters are to be awarded to debaters for the first time. To our coach, Miss Dorothy Grauer, and her assistants, Mr. Kyrl Dee and Mr. George Lavis, Miss Irene Meyers and Miss Dorothy Stanley, we extend our deepest appreciation. lf the championship does not come to Tech next year, it surely will the following one, for there has never been more promising material on hand. 7 1937 ieimy t H W W.

Although one of the youngest organizations in the school, it now boasts twenty-one members. The object of the club is to develop a knowledge of astronomy and allied sciences among its mem- lpers, and to provide a practical application for their mathematical training. A six-inch reflecting telescope was designed and constructed by the members of the society, assisted by the shop and drawing teachers. The club is now setting up the telescope on the roof of this building. The deli- cate work of grinding the six-inch mirror was done by Iohn Cuthill, presi- dent of the club last year. When the telescope has been set in place, ad- justed ancl focused, the members of the society will use it for their research work. Plans have been drawn for the construction of an observatory. This year, in an effort to raise money for the proposed observatory, the club sponsored a skate and dance, which was highly successful. lf the observatory can be built, Tech Will, without doubt, be the only school of its kind so equipped.

At Christmas time the money collected in the assembly was used to buy baskets which were distributed to needy tamilies. Still another serf vice rendered to Tech is that of ushering at various school activities. Early in the school year the Tech Hi-Y was represented at the Western New York Hi-Y Council at Camp Weona by Mark Locey, Bernard Bar- thelmy and Conrad Schenk. ln December the Tech l-li-Y Was represented at the New York Hi-Y Council at Albany by another delegation.

It was found necessary to reduce the number to ten and this was done fairly through competition. A match was held at the 174th Armory, in which the ten highest competitors were to be the remaining members. The Tech Rifle Club holds regular Weekly meetings on Tuesdays and shoots Weekly on Wednesdays at the l74th Armory. In accordance with the rules at the l74th Armory, it is necessary for one of the Faculty Advis- ers to be present at the shoots. In order to carry on inter-club competition the club has been divided into two teams which compete at the matches.

Since that time, each succeed- ing chapter has endeavored to contribute its part in upholding the principles and traditions laid down by the founders. The Class of l937 has shared in the benefits of the organization by en- gaging in activities which have brought every member into a closer con- tact With industry. lt has fostered a more intimate relationship between senior engineer and junior engineer by subscribing to a sustaining mem- bership in the Engineering Society of Buffalo. The class was privileged to listen to an address given under the auspices of the Engineering Society by Mr. Goodrich, Chief Engineer in charge of the construction of the largest bridge in the World, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Industrial inspection tours have been organized and sponsored by the members. Some of the plants already visited are the Curtiss Aeroplane Company, the Farrel Foundry and Machine Company, the Williams Drop Forge Company, the Worthington Pump Company, and the Buffalo Forge and Machine Shop. These tours acquaint students with modern production methods. 7 1937 Bam! 0 The band has completed another successful year at Tech. Its great activity may be realized by enumeration of the events in which it has participated. ln addition to doing a fine job in the numerous assemblies of the past year, these boys have given many creditable performances upon various occasions. The band played at all our football games and led the foot- ball parade sponsored by the Hi-Y. The successful concert of May 7 was enhanced by their work.

During the year we have had several auctions, bourses, and lectures, concerning the history of stamps and coins, which were very interesting. The Buffalo Stamp Club and the Buffalo Evening News sponsored a Iunior Stamp Collectors' Exhibition at the Grosvenor Library, where two of the club members won prizes.

Its main purpose to promote good fellowship among the debaters, although Delta Chi also seeks to furnish Tech with entertainment and education, through debate. Since most of its leaders are particularly active in Varsity Debate, this organization has a limited time in which to accomplish a great deal. lt has had interesting and educational programs at the meetings. Following its usual custom, the Delta Chi sponsored a Freshman-Sophomore Debate in the autumn. The Sophomores broke a tie and now lead by five victories to four for the Freshmen. It was one of the most enjoyable of a long series of debates. I It is also the custom of the Delta Chi to sponsor a book drive every two years for the benefit of the school library.

EDWARD STEGER 0 A year ago, the Tech Dramatic Club was founded by certain mem- bers of the Freshmen Public Speaking Class. lt was then called the Freshmen Dramatic Club. This year the policy was changed to include all students. As a result many upper-classmen have joined. Although the club has made no attempt to include a great number of members, the present group are enthusiastic and regularly attend the weekly meetings. This organization gives an opportunity to all students interested in developing their powers of speech and dramatic action. Since the club includes members of the Freshmen Class, students are able to continue their dramatic work throughout four or five years. One of the first social events on our calendar was a gay Hallowe'en Party. The next highlight was the Christmas Play, acclaimed by many as the greatest dramatic success ever produced at Tech. Our next feat was to sponsor two successful contests, one for students interested in play- writing, won by Allen lacobs, the other for those who wished to test their dramatic ability, won by Lucille Beardsley. Still enthusiastic from our recent encounter with the success we had met in our contests, we turned to producing plays again. This time, a unique one-act play, Not Such a Goose, was the happy result. Furthermore, we have been well represented in the Iunior and Sopho- more plays, the Tech Revue, and the Kappa Sigma Phi Declamation Con- tests. As a finale to this year of cooperative activity we are planning a farewell party for those of our members Who will graduate this lune. '7ecfnlomhn 1937 First Row K. Lingle, D. Scl.eu, E. Petit, R.

BISHOP 0 Kappa Sigma Phi, the oldest society in Tech, was organized in l909 by the late Dr. Daniel Upton, then principal of the school. Dr. Upton es- tablished the organization as an honor society and chose the charter mem- bers for their excellence in character and scholarship. These two ideals, sterling character and superior scholarship, have been kept in mind throughout the years whenever new members have been admitted. Thus we have striven to keep Kappa Sig representative of the best that Tech has had to offer. But character and scholarship are not our only watchwords. We aim to be useful in practical ways. Those most nearly concerned, remember that during the principalship of its founder, the members were appealed to in critical situations of school affairs. Doctor I-Iurrel, Dr, Upton's successor, likewise relied upon Kappa Sigma Phi for assistance. Mr. Childs and lVIr. Dry have carried on the custom by turning to this fraternity for cooperation. Annually, on or near March 9, Kappa Sigma Phi sponsors a declama- tion contest in celebration of the anniversary of its founding on that date. Cn the evening of the same day, the active and passive chapters of the society assemble for a fraternal banquet. This is the outstanding social event for the members, although they frequently get together for informal good times. It is, indeed, a rare privilege, filling the fortunate ones with pride, and inspiring them to be worthy of the respect of students and faculty. '7ecfsZ'an.ian 1937 First Row Mr. C. C. Bishop, D.

Three Sigma Phi Sigma medals are awarded at the close of each year to the outstanding students of the three chemistry classes, the sopho- more, junior and senior. It is a high honor for those who receive such recognition. To the members of next year's chapter, We Wish success for the con- tinuation of the ideals and principles of the organization set forth by our predecessors. '7eaJx1omhn 1937 First Row L. Peck, N.

Rarttielmy 0 Each year two sets of debates are held, in which the negative team re- mains at home and the affirmative visits another school. Both debates are witnessed by the student body at a morning assembly. Tech showed promise of an excellent year when the negative team de- feated Bennett Qe-6 on the subject, Resolved, That the Industrial Union is preferable to the Craft Union. Edward Petit and Lee Peck, who had made a winning combination last year, argued in a convincing manner. The hopes for a championship team were lowered when the affirmative team was defeated at Hutchinson llfll. ln this debate commendable work was done by joseph Davis who graduated in january. The spring debates found Tech injured badly. Three of the varsity team had left school and were replaced by joseph Millazzo, Sidney Ples- kin, and Leland jones, all inexperienced boys. The subject was: Resolved, That Congress should be empowered to regulate maximum hours and mini- mum wages. ln spite of tremendous handicaps Tech lost two very close decisions to Riverside and Grover Cleveland, 8-47 and 946, respectively. Edward Petit, debating since his junior year, and Lee Peck, since his sophomore year, are the only two debaters not returning next year. Debate has finally reached its true heights at Tech, for letters are to be awarded to debaters for the first time. To our coach, Miss Dorothy Grauer, and her assistants, Mr, Kyrl Dee and Mr. George Lavis, Miss Irene Meyers and Miss Dorothy Stanley, we extend our deepest appreciation. lf the championship does not come to Tech next year, it surely will the following one, for there has never been more promising material on hand. 7 1937 F t R w W.

ROECKER 0 The merger of the Architectural Society and the Structural Club brought into being one of Tech's best known organizations, Beta Delta Sigma. The purpose of this organization is to create a more unified spirit of cooper- ation and friendship among the students of the Building Design Course. The society is a member of the Engineering Society of Buffalo, which en- titles its members to attend all the lectures and dinners sponsored by that Society. Activities for the year included trips, lectures, and the annual Skate and Dance held at Scott's Roller Rink. An intensive spring program has been outlined by the officers. Mr. Fred l. Soukup and Mr. Williaim C. Roecker, our faculty advisers, to Whom We are much indebted, have given excellent supervision and guidance to the fraternity. The graduating members hope that the Beta Delta Sigma will continue to be one of Tech's outstanding fraternities. 7 1937 First Row -S. Mancuso, B, Glaser, W. Devonshire, Dr. Criswell, F. Wilbert, E.

Although one of the youngest organizations in the school, it now boasts twenty-one members. The object of the club is to develop a knowledge of astronomy and allied sciences among its mem- lners, and to provide a practical application for their mathematical training. A six-inch reflecting telescope was designed and constructed by the members of the society, assisted by the shop and drawing teachers. The club is now setting up the telescope on the roof of this building. The deli- cate work of grinding the six-inch mirror was done by lohn Cuthill, presi- dent of the club last year. When the telescope has been set in place, ad- justed and focused, the members of the society will use it for their research Work. Plans have been drawn for the construction of an observatory. This year, in an effort to raise money for the proposed observatory, the club sponsored a skate and dance, which Was highly successful. lf the observatory can be built, Tech Will, Without doubt, be the only school of its kind so equipped. 7ecf1l'onian 1937 First Row--W.

MUNN 0 The Tech Hi-Y, one of the oldest and most active organizations of Tech, has under the leadership of Mr. Munn, done many things to better Tech, in both spiritual and material Ways. During the year this organization has had many interesting speakers, including Mr. Dry, Mr. Ryther, Mr. Mabbitt fthe father of one of the members of our faculty, Miss Grauerl, Mr. Leader, and his assistant, M.r Flynn, and Mr. Haas. At Christmas time the money collected in the assembly Was used to buy baskets which were distributed to needy families. Still another ser- vice rendered to Tech is that of ushering at various school activities. Early in the school year the Tech Hi-Y Was represented at the Westerri New York Hi-Y Council at Camp Weona by Mark Locey, Bernard Bar- thelmy and Conrad Schenk. ln December the Tech Hi-Y Was represented at the New York Hi-Y Council at Albany by another delegation. Through the cooperation of all its members the Hi-Y has reason to be- lieve it has accomplished its object and creed: l Will seek to create, main- tain and extend high standards of Christian character throughout my school and community. 7 1937 First Row-P.

DEE I In November, l936, the Tech Rifle Club was reorganized under the direc- tion of the faculty advisers. The purpose of the Rifle Club is to give its members skill in marksmanship, and recreation through sportsmanship and competition. The Rifle Club began with sixteen charter members. It was found necessary to reduce the number to ten and this was done fairly through competition. A match was held at the l'74tl'1 Armory, in which the ten highest competitors were to be the remaining members. The Tech Rifle Club holds regular Weekly meetings on Tuesdays and shoots weekly on Wednesdays at the 174th Armory. In accordance with the rules at the l74th Armory, it is necessary for one of the Faculty Advis- ers to be present at the shoots. In order to carry on inter-club competition the club has been divided into two teams which compete at the matches. Officers for the following year are to be elected before the school year closes this Iune so that there will be no delay in organizing next fall. 7ecfd'on4hn i937 First Row R. Terepin, A.

HERMAN MUELKE 0 The Mu Delta, or Machine Design Club, was organized in l923, by Mr. Conrad Christel, for the express purpose of furthering the interests of the students in the mechanical curriculum. Since that time, each succeed- ing chapter has endeavored to contribute its part in upholding the principles and traditions laid down by the founders. The Class of l937 has shared in the benefits of the organization by en- gaging in activities which have brought every member into a closer con- tact With industry. It has fostered a more intimate relationship between senior engineer and junior engineer by subscribing to a sustaining mem- bership in the Engineering Society of Buffalo. The class was privileged to listen to an address given under the auspices of the Engineering Society by Mr. Goodrich, Chief Engineer in charge of the construction of the largest bridge in the World, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. lndustrial inspection tours have been organized and sponsored by the members. Some of the plants already Visited are the Curtiss Aeroplane Company, the Farrel Foundry and Machine Company, the Williams Drop Forge Company, the Worthington Pump Company, and the Buffalo Forge and Machine Shop. These tours acquaint students with modern production methods. '7ecf1fwuhn 1937 Band 0 The band has completed another successful year at Tech. lts great activity may be realized by enumeration of the events in which it has participated. ln addition to doing a fine job in the numerous assemblies of the past year, these boys have given many creditable performances upon various occasions. The band played at all our football games and led the foot- ball parade sponsored by the Hi-Y. The successful concert of May 7 was enhanced by their work. Four boys, Victor Mecca, Nelson Provenzano, Paul Uhlman, Raymond Terrapin, were selected to play in the All High Band. During the past year the following boys played in the band: CLARINET: Albert Cercone, Angelo Change, Charles Cipolla, Elmer Doller, William Engler, Norbert Grzonowski, Robert Schultz, Raymond Ter- rapin, Paul Uhlman, Nicholas Veltri, Stephen Mancuso, Paul Mecca, Albert Milkie, Mike Pagliaro, Peter Panayiotui, Nelson Provenzano.

At the annual Tech Revue the orchestra played, as it does for the Annual Exhibit, Commencement Exercises, and for outstanding assemblies. The orchestra and band have merged into a single unit which elected Gordon Pratt president. On May 14 these combined forces presented a successful concert. From the string section two outstanding violin players, Frederick Graf and Merrills Rutledge, were selected to play with the All High Orchestra which played for the Music Festival during the Week of April 12.

Under the leadership of C'oach Charles Leader, and his assistant, William Flynn, and with the cooperation of the student body and faculty, football took a new lease on life here at Tech. As usual, a large number of candidates reported for first practice, but they were decreased to four teams as the season began. Of these, fifteen men received major letters. Considerable credit is to be given to the manager, Robert Herr, and his assistants, August Konefal and Robert Koch, for their cooperation with the team. Although Tech was not able to capture the Harvard Cup, we can rate them as a championship team. We opened the season at the All High Stadium with a victory over Seneca, 6-U. The next week the team lost to East, l9-O. Our coach finally found a winning combination for the team, because We beat South Park, 12--O, Burgard was then conquered, l24O, and Grover Cleveland, 20-O. Our last game with Riverside, which we lost 7-6, was the most outstanding and hardest fought game ever played at the stadium. Our team took third place, but their record is very good with four Wins and only two losses. The splendid showing of the team and the honors which were received at the close of the season by the players are memorable, as well as the magnificent support given by the students and faculty to the team. May the future football seasons at Technical be bright with victory, notable alike for able players and fine sportsmanship. 7 ' 1937 First Row-Abramog Schlichtp Frank: Koelmelg Zilbauerg Anderson: Clarkg Vickeryg Van Scoier 04044 eooupbuf 0 Cross Country was favored by a rather large turnout this year, al- though Douglas Anderson was the only major letter man returning. Kermit Schlicht, Ralph Abramo, Richard lmboden and Doug Anderson proved to be the outstanding men. Running against East and South Park in the first dual meet, Tech fin- ished third with sixty points, as against twenty-one and forty-six for East and South Park respectively. Tech was somewhat more fortunate in the second dual meet. Lafayette Won with twenty-four points. Tech was second with forty-four points, and Hutch was third with fifty-eight points. Kermit Schlicht did the outstanding Work in these meets. The team placed eighth in the Columbia All High run, but not from lack of hard Work and high spirit, Eight members of the team received major letters for superior Work this year, they being Kermit Schlicht, Richard lmboden, Roy Patricola, Ralph Abramo, Robert Vickory, Wilbur Van Scoot- er, Leonard Zilbauer and Douglas Anderson. Graduation will take some of these men, but the hopes are high and the material is excellent for a successful team next fall. 7 1937 First Row-Stopinskig McNeilg Klein, Breissingery Lasotag Nowak: Herethp Perillog Scheu.

O In the spring qreat interest in the prospects of the bsaeball team is evinced. The Cornell Cup, awarded to the champion Buffalo hiqh school team, is one reason, and another is that baseball is in the very air for boys to think and breathe. The first call for candidates at Buffalo Tech drew 125 boys to Coach Albert Haas. After a few Weeks of practice at Houghton Park, players were chosen for various positions on the team.

Mr. Braun's hope for success for the Bed and White in the Clark Cup Series rested on Art Edmunds and lim Watt. The tall elimination tournament was cut short because of cold weather and play was ended in the quarter finals with lim Watt taking the honors. This spring a larger number reported than were listed in the tall tourna- ment, bringing new talent into view. The usual feature ot the tennis team is its playing manager. lt is this year in the capable hands ot Edward Petit. Manager Petit also saw service in part of the Cup Series last year. Graduation takes its toll oi our sportsmen every year, so we trust that you who may return to this institution in the following years, will remember our ambition to place Techanical at the top.

Slllllfthullgf 0 The call for swimming candidates brought a rush of new material and new faces to School Number Thirty-two, where our mermen practice. Using a few veterans as a nucleus, Mr. Mattern, our new coach, draw freely upon the resources of his large squad to organize a fighting team. Our first meet, which was against Bennett, resulted in defeat for Tech. But the team had great satisfaction on seeing the Bennett men pushed to their utmost. As the season progressed, we were struck by hard luck sev- eral times. Iulian Aulich, who was third all-high 200-yard man of last year, injured his leg, so that he was unable to finish the season. Alex Stephanik, who was second all-high breast stroker last year, was unable to swim in several of this year's meets. Such mishaps as these kept Tech out of the win column for the entire season. ln the all-high meet, Alex Stephanik placed fourth in the lOO-yard breast stroke, and our Medley Relay team of Alex Stephanik, Charles Hiller and Grant Wettlaufer, crashed through to qualify for the all-high finals. 7 I937 Y . , ' I 7 I hx.: c.......n.,.,,,.m,....,..- ,.......M.,..M,.....c.,,.i.4..i....dcc.,i,i.....i.u,, ... g.. ........., .c.s.,,,.,.,.Ns-c,,.. ...

Though several runners were lost through graduation last year, many new faces have appeared to take their places. Track is enjoying tremendous popularity, for over one hundred boys ap- peared for first practice. The final number had to be reduced to about half of that. Under Mr. Gottsch's guidance, the squad took shape and rounded into a team, the envy of all its rivals. Many of the boys have aspirations of making the All-High Track Team, which will compete at Cornell University this year. On May 6 Tech ran against Bennett and Fosdick. On May 13 it com- pleted With Riverside and East. It met Hutchinson and Grover Cleveland May 20. Tech is unusually fortunate this year, for graduation, although taking rnany, will not weaken the nucleus of this year's team. Grzonkowski, N.: Carlson, E.: Church, W.: Cirincione, F.: Collopy, W.

Many enthusiastic golfers responded, but because of the large number of candidates, elimination matches were held to decide the eight players to represent Tech. Two preliminary matches Were played by each school in preparation for the All High meet. Tech had high hopes of a championship team when it defeated its arch rival, East, in the first preliminary match, by the score of 16M to 7M. How- ever, our ambition was blasted when South Park defeated us to the tune of 21 to 3. Tech as in past years displayed a Well-balanced team in its fight for the possession of the Ganson Depew trophy. Although we did not win the cup, Tech put up a creditable showing by finishing in fourth place. The school matches were played at Grover Cleveland Golf Course. Those who represented Tech in the matches Were: lack Missal, Wallace Warner, Rudolph Doctor, Kenneth Truax, Nor- man McNeil, Clarence Carlson, William Courtade, Casimer Norman, Ioseph Andrycha. Personal tribute must be given to Mr. Haas for his faithful coaching. 7 1937 First Row-Ensrningerg Breissingerg Perillog Belton, Capt., McNeil, Srnerekag Steinhauesr Second RowePawelczakg Traguaizy Valloneg Hutchinson: Rohrbacherg Pittner Third Row' Dollar: Chiavaroliy Cirisig Watt, I.: I-lollstein. B 0 Basketball is a very prominent sport at Tech. It is a game full of action and thrills, which requires great endurance and hard training. This year, Coach Bill Braun was decidedly handicapped through the loss of most of his veterans. The team was built around Belton and Breis- singer, the only experienced players from the preceding year's team. These two, with the addition of Norman McNeil, Michael Srnereka and F. Perillo, made up the first team. Tech's team, although losing most of the games, should be commended for their gameness and sportsmanship. The sche- dule called for a series of twelve games, of which Tech won two and lost ten, defeating Peckham and Seneca. The team did not bring so impressive a record as was expected, be- cause of lack of experience, but the team for the following season seems very promising. Frank Belton and Norman Breissinger received honorable mention for the All High Five. The season closed with a game between the team of the faculty mem- bers and the varsity in which everything but basketball was played and no holds were barred. The varsity was the victor by a very close decision. 7 1937 Eben .Eeacfau 0 A cheer leader must have pep, courage, personality, and originality in order to lead an audience out of the depths of discouragement to the height of enthusiasm. Iirnmie Lyons, George Nuthall, Phil Ensmenger and Bazil Zelli pos- sess these qualities. Through the efforts of our able cheer leaders, school spirit has reached a new high in Tech during 1937. On the football field or in assemblies, these boys have been able to lead the students in cheering Tech's teams on to victory. Applause and cheers constitute the actual participation of the rnain student body at assemblies. Our worthy cheer leaders direct these vocal efforts nimbly and capably. .Jlwfmf O Although 1936-37 had outstanding material to compose a varsity hockey team, it was unable to play any of the games on its schedule, because of the mild Winter. This we regret, for we had not only several of the last year's varsity men, but also some new material that would have developed into stellar hockey players. As we close the book on the past season, we look forward to next year and hope that the weather will permit the completion of our sche- dule. For We shall have not only some of our hockey lettermen returning but also hockey enthusiasm has reached a new high, as was shown by the large turnout for this year's team. 7ecf1.Z'an4hn 1937 x E . in I' 2?
