Tecbtonian, 1940 THE COLOR GUARD SCATTERED about our community and even far afield one may meet the members of a large fra- ternity- graduates of Technical High School-a fraternity in the true sense of the word-a brother- hood, united by the bonds of service to the flags of the nation and the school-the former seniors of the Color Guard. For as many years as the tradition of the Guard has existed at Technical, the eight senior Guardsmen have represented some of the best the class could offer in achievement and character. Chosen at the end of the Junior year by the combined opinion of the Junior Class and a large faculty committee, the members, during their last year, ofliciate at each assembly by carrying into the auditorium the American flag and the school flag and standing at attention while the national anthem is played. When the assembly exercises are over, the Guard removes the colors before anyone leaves the room. The flag ceremony is impressive. It imparts dignity to our assemblies and receives the commendation of every visitor to our school. ' To be selected as a member of the Color Guard is a real triumph for a junior. He feels that he has earned the confidence of his classmates and his teachers. For years he will wear with pride the beautiful gold and enamel service pin, bearing the red, white, and blue with the maroon added, which he receives at the end of his term. He, in turn, by virtue of the position he occupies, has an ideal that he must live up to-an ideal of honor, of endeavor, of dependability and of real service-not only while he acts as Color Guard but after he has joined the number of his predecessors as an alumnus. They have gone out from the doors of Technical, and in many fields are still upholding that same ideal of honor and of service. As adviser of the Color Guard, Miss Anna Halloran will be ever remembered for the ideals she possessed and instilled by example as well as precept. O Tecbtomlm, 1940 PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS ACH year it becomes the pleasant duty of the Senior president to welcome our parents and friends and the members of the faculty to the numerous festivities and exercises that mark our gradu- ation. I consider it more of a privilege than a duty to hope you will thoroughly enjoy our Class Day with us-the day that seems the beginning of the end, a day whose happiness for us is somewhat mixed with sadness. Tech has been our home, the scene of our severe struggle for four years, and we leave it with regret. It has through its fine traditions, thorough instruction and friendly discipline guided us in our aspirations to greater achievements. But as we step through the door with our coveted diplomas in hand-as we turn to read for the last time the words Skill, Knowledge, Power carved overhead, we leave this careful guidance. However, we should feel no discouragement nor fear of the future for we know that Tech men have received the training so necessary to make successful men. We have a definite product to offer to an employer. In the world of to-morrow where science and engineering will be dominant factors, where every new invention will create a new field, the technician will be the ruler. The graduates of our technical courses will secure positions in industry where they have many times been placed on a par with college men and have borne their full share of the work. Perhaps many of the present Seniors will take advantage of the fifth year courses, which have come to be recognized as almost necessary in helping students to obtain desirable positions. Of the success of those of our number who go on to college, there can be little doubt. Every additional year of training should increase the value of any man in the technical field. If it were only the essential knowledge of our specialty we had gained, many would feel that a vital part of our education had been neglected. Through our musical groups, we have developed valuable talents, by debating and public speaking, we have been taught to speak fluently and well, in our many clubs, we have gained power of leadership and made enduring friendships, and last but far from least, we have learned fair play and co-operation and have acquired vigorous health by means of our competitive sports. Our preparation for life has been a thorough education. This year of 1940 takes on a new significance as we gaze across the Atlantic and see thousands of boys our age sacrificing their lives in the grim game of warfare. We need only stop and think, as we read the names upon the bronze tablet in the corridor, of the Tech boys who died in the last war and of the waste of humanity now going on in foreign countries, and we can thank God we live in America, where we trust another war will never come. It will be our future duty not only to aid in the materialistic progress of our nation, but also to preserve its security by exercising the virtues of loyalty, co-operation and service we have learned at Technical High School. EDWARD G. RICH Tecbtanian, 1940 VALEDICTORY We are gathered here in the presence of parents, teachers, and all the friends of these four years to mark the passing of an era in our lives, one which we shall someday regard as a time of idyllic happiness. We are here to say farewell to a phase of life which has been secure, sheltered, and, to each according to his light, successful. We have been fortunate in securing four such years of peaceful, civilized, useful education in a troubled world, now as we depart to seek our separate, unknown destinies it is a wholesome and a fitting thing to pause briefly, glancing back and taking stock of ourselves and our equipment, before leaving to keep a rendezvous with life. Sufficient has been said of the kind and quality of education We received here 5 too little is spoken of the responsibility incurred by all who receive education. They must account for the use made of such assets. How to discharge such responsibility is a problem whose solution is vague to most of us, we only trust that when the time and opportunity occur we shall render a good accounting of ourselves, not alone by the assimilation of book knowledge, but especially through the less tangible acquisition which is providentially ours, the ideals of American culture. While we worked and studied here, enjoying the pleasures of good fellowship, there were in- stilled in us certain ideals of justice, righteousness, truth, honor, liberty, good citizenship, loyalty, patriotism, decency, and fair play. These ideals must be firmly intrenched in our souls that they may be the gleam we follow. The burden of living inexorably shifts to our own shoulders. It is natural that we should assume this burden, even assume it joyously, and confidently, and take up the work of the world for progress is the way of life. We must bend ourselves to the task of making our world a better place to live in and of building successful lives upon the foundation of our education and our ideals. As our ways wind onward we bid farewell to these familiar halls, to the comrades of our four years, to teachers who have guided us in the paths of scholarship and decorum. Now let us feel the exhilarating splendor, the matchless exultation of this priceless moment when we go forth undaunted to face the world, in the full pride of youth with head held high, alone, yet unafraid. MYRON GOOD Tecbtonian, 1940 Tecbtonian, 1940 RETROSPECT: 1990 I am still confined to my chair, But in the afternoons I can sit in the sun . . . From the porch I can see the old red building, And the three doors, So symbolic of every syllable of the life I ever spent three . . . The flag still waves, And the stacks still belch their smoke Into a changeless sky . . . Charles came to visit me today . . . We had a long talk about the old times. He and I were always late at class, And we'd swing hurriedly up the broad sta'rcases And laugh with the deep-rooted joy of living . . . We talked about the labs And the smell of sulfide gas, And how we'd dream for hours on end With only the rhythmic scratch of emery paper On mirrors of metal . . . I sat there for a long time after he had left. I sat and looked at the mauve sunset And at the old red building, And at the past . . . It is strange, when one looks back on the past. So much of it's reality has gone, All the tangible, metallic reality, And in its place a terrifying sense of emptiness . . But something still is mine, Which has a reality all its own, As real as the test tubes, the drawings, and the bo This prize I grasp Has a prismatic, enduring reality That warms the soul, And steels the heart against the fear of age . . . Yes, this remains- A love for every atom of life and happiness During those years, Strong enough to bridge the chasm of time, To span the sea of change, And give impetus to the wheel of memory . . My reality Can cleve the sphere of life, It can reveal The core of beauty, and the heart of flame . . . I can be calm, I can be unafraid. I can sit out my years with a peace of mind That only love bestows . . . Always shall come other men to share that love, Always there shall be other men to love My glass, my steam, my steel as I do . . . Ours is a deathless love, a love of life, The only hope, the only crown Of years . . . oks WALDEMAR HANSEN l Rowl: li.Lvs1n, P. Cxxivxcmx, li. Kotn. Row 2: li. Config, A. Coast, W. Hxckua, H. Dixoiv.

Scimliinicn 108 KlsNNi4:'rn Cuifrie HARoLD Dlxow Emma LAMB With the beginning of each year, the Senior Class elects a president, viceepresident, a secretary, a treasurer, a SCI'gC2lI1I-LII-2lI'mS, an assistant sergeant-at-arms and a representative of each course in Buffalo Technical High School. These young men direct the ship ofthe Senior Class on a straight and narrow course throughout the year. lt is their duty to appoint the class prophet, poet, lawyer, histor- ian and arrange for an adequate social program. This vear's council, representing the class of '40, has submitted a very active and interesting program. For the first time in the annals of Buffalo Technical High School, a Senior prom and banquet has been promoted. To provide funds for this affair, the Senior Class sponsored its annual Skating Party at Scott's Roller Rink. This event terminated in its usual successful manner. Other activities, in which the Senior Class have pride, are the Class Day exercises and the Yearbook. The Senior Class wishes to pay tribute to those advisers, Mr. Andrus, Mrs. Brooks, Mr. Dry, Miss Flavin, Miss Herlihy, and Miss Partridge, who have been instrumental in the attainment of these successes. May we, the Senior Class of 1940, extend our hearty thanks to them for their generous efforts? lt shall always be the desire of the Senior Council to reflect to its Alma Mater, the spirit of TruthgKnowledge-Power.

ALBERT JONES Faculty Advisers Miss C. BAGLEY MR. McGowAN Dr. I. CHRISWELL MR. G. SCHNEIDER MRS. M. WALLACE The class of 1943 numbers 434. Each member is aware of the fact that before him lie four, or possibly five, years of steady but interesting work, before the goal can be attained. These years he hopes to hll with study and earnest effort that will culmina'te in a well-earned diploma. To that end the class has already made a beginning in extra curricular activities as well as schol- arship. On February twenty-first, its first assembly, one commemorating the birthday of George Washington, was held. At this time, members of the Freshman Class who were enrolled in the dramatic class presented the play, Gad Winks by Katherine Burgess. The class takes pleasure in presenting the following statistics: Scholarship Awards Clirst termD . . . 62 Members of Band and Orchestra . 16 Students in dramatics . . 11 Members of the Fall Revue Cast .... 10 To this record the Freshman Class hopes to add other achievements in higher scholarship and greater school service from year to year. To their faculty advisers, the Freshman Class extend their gratitude for guidance and co-operation.

In reviewing the year 1939-40, we find much that pleases us. juniors have been Well represented in spring and fall debates. On some honor rolls,juniors had the highest representation. They have been very active on the varsity teams at all seasons ofthe year. Their strong support has been given to the Monitor System. On Junior Day, March 20, a motion picture of merit was presented which was a departure from the usual custom of presenting scenes from Shakespeare. Here again, the class co-operated by wearing the maroon button lettered in white. The class gives a hearty Thank you to our principal Mr. Dry, and to all members of the faculty who have aided us. To the departing Seniors, we Say Good Luck. Tecbtorzian, 1940 Row 3. S. LOMANTO, V. COOPER, F. WILSON. Row 2. B. COLE, S. PLOTYCIA, W. DOYLE, G. WILSON, W. BROWN. Row I. C. TEPAS, L. JONES, R.

PLOTYCIA Faculty Adviser MISS H. FLAVIN The 1940 Fifth Year Class of Technical High School is the sixth such class in the history of Tech- nical. The Fifth Year Class was designed to extend training of unit technical courses. The subjects, which are given only to post-graduate students, were outlined by industrial plant managers in order that the student who receives a Hfth year certificate might be sufficiently trained to meet the require- ments of industry. This year's class has been a creditable one in that it has contributed greatly to the advancement of Technical. Preparation ofthe entire program ofthe class lies in the hands ofthe Executive Council. The members of this body planned and carried out a skating party which was a financial success. The profits of this affair were used: first, to obtain five subscriptions to a national student paper which the entire student body is privileged to read, second, to aid the less fortunate citizens ofthe city by donat- ing to the Infantile Paralysis Fund, and third, to banquet the class members at the conclusion of the school year. The members of the class have not only contributed to Technical financially, but also in the school activities. Half of the first team football players were members of the class, one of whom, Leeland N. jones, jr., was captain. Basketball and track also had fifth year members on their teams and on the squads. Three fifth year members lectured before undergraduate classes on subjects con- cerning their courses. The public address system, the electrical equipment, and general stage aids are managed by the fifth year class. Techtonian, 1940 Row 6. KING, HUMPHREYS, NAGOWSKI, HENNESEN, HAARMEYER, DOYLE, THORPE.

The class not only assisted in the technicalities of every assembly but were also charged with an active part in each assembly program. On the day preceding each assembly, the president of the class accepted announcements from recognized organizations. The club member to give the announcements was schooled in the rules of presentation and some student ofthe fifth year class was chosen to preside over that portion of the assembly program. This system, which first began this year on an experimental basis, has proven so satisfactory that the school has accepted it as a definite part of the program. The Fifth Year Class owes a great debt of gratitude to Miss H. Flavin, its adviser, for her guidance, sympathy, and interest.

This old proverb may be very aptly quoted in connection with assemblies. Do not our excellent bulletin boards in front of the auditorium acquaint us with what is in store for us days in advance? One can readily understand how eagerly the signal of two bells is awaited on certain days. No matter what the occasion for an assembly may be, the programs are so varied that each is in the words of St. Paul, all things to all people. The opening and closing exercises of any assembly are always conducted in a uniformly simple, dignified manner. Our principal, Mr. Richard Dry, or the assistant principal, Mr. Gordon Ryther presides. After a stirring entrance march, the colors are brought to the stage, and everyone stands at attention in salute to the flag, while the Star Spangled Banner is played. A reading is then given which suggests the motif around which that particular program is planned. Since the public address system is used in our auditorium, the reading affords an enviable opportunity to become proficient in its use. After the major part of the program, an innovation was introduced this year. The Fifth Year Class kindly consented to assume charge of the announcements. This gives these young men excellent training in presenting speakers to the audience. The singing of the Star Spangled Banner is followed by the retiring of the colors, and the as- sembly is over. But it is over only in one sense. Each of us carries away something. We have been pleasantly entertained, genuinely stimulated, or thoroughly challenged. Because engineering is the keynote of our education, the demonstrations of the Linde Air- Products Corporation and of the Westinghouse Electric Company presented to us graphically new phases in recent scientific developments early this year. Another phase of Engineering interest was in a program on the development of our waterfront, under the sponsorship of the City Planning Commis- sion. At another time we were privileged to view the film Housing in our Time through the courtesy of the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority. These presentations have been highly instructive. A recent lecture on the conservation of our forests was delivered by Professor Floyd Carlson of Syracuse. Very commendable were the programs sponsored by the various organizations of the school. The young men on whom rested the successful execution of such ventures developed leadership and resourcefulness. Among the groups participating was the Tech Radio Guild, who brought Professor Stanley Travis of the University of Buffalo, the Dramatic Club presented two one-act plays, which proved very enjoyable. The Astronomical Society delighted us with Father Kolkmeyer of Canisius College who spoke on seismology. We always anticipate with keenest interest Founder's Day of Kappa Sigma Phi. The class organizations, too, proudly introduced to us members of their groups in various specialties. Much latent talent was discovered and successfully developed. The annual fall and spring debates were delivered with unusual ability. Each contestant can be justly proud of his contribution to uphold the honor of the school. The Freshman-Sophomore debate teams ably represented their respective classes in a keen battle of wits. Their coaches, too, deserve sincere praise for the assistance they rendered. It is our custom to honor those students who have achieved a high scholastic record. On these occasions we have been addressed by Mr. Harry I. Good, associate superintendent of schools, Mr. Charles Roth, Reverend Wilfred Schmidt, and Mr. Forde R. Park. Each speaker brought a message that inspired us to put forth greater efforts to seek higher levels. We also delight in rewarding the young men who have represented us on the various athletic teams. Mr. james Peele, athletic director of the University of Buffalo, was the speaker at the fall Letter Day. An interesting film, Touching all Bases , was a feature of the corresponding day in the spring. We naturally associate our band with football games. Not only did that group add color and enthusiasm on these occasions, but also at our assembly programs. The orchestra, too, has added much to our pleasure. To another group we are indebted for a most enjoyable program, for the Chro- matic Club has always shared its talent with us, thus developing our capacity for enjoying good music. Christmas assembly! We recall the rugged simplicity of the play, Gilt-edged, the special music by the orchestra, and the singing of the wonderful Christmas carols. Many alumni were present to join in our festivities for this program is always anticipated with the keenest delight. It was our good fortune to secure Dr. L. V. Buschman as the speaker for Armistice Day. Dr. Hugo L. Dressler celebrated Lincoln's birthday with us. The Memorial Day address was delivered by Dr. Albert Butzer. We appreciate the generosity of these gentlemen in sharing their thoughts with us. A former Tech student, Mr. Berthold White, delivered a most forceful address on recent tech- nical developments, which was enthusiastically received. Tecbtonian, 1940 ASSEMBLY qcominuedp It was our good fortune to have as our guest, Dr. Joseph L. Fink, who is so vitally interested in education. He addressed us in a very scholarly manner. Dr. Harry W. Rockwell, President of State Teachers College was also welcomed most enthu- siastically. He emphasized the friendly relation that has always existed between his institution and ours. We are indebted to the Hi-Y for his presence at Technical. The members of the Fifth Year class presented Mr. William Roesser, who, addressing us from the employer's point of view, spoke very forcefully on the qualities that industry expects of young men. Shakespeare on the Stage Today was the text of the lecture with which Mr. Harold J. Kennedy, a friend of Maurice Evans, the great Shakespearian actor, delighted us. Sports commentators are always welcomed most cordially. The warm reception given Mr. James Wells of W. B. E. N. proved to be no exception. He assisted in honoring the men who had rep- resented Technical in basketball and swimming. On several occasions Mr. Norman Vester of our music department gave informal talks on orches- tral instruments. The various groups were explained by Mr. Vester and ably demonstrated by various members of the band and orchestra. Another member of our faculty, Dorothy Stanley Erisman, presented a very pleasing program. We were held spell-bound as she related to us some of the interesting incidents of her journey around the world. Wanderlust was kindled in every heart by her vivid descriptions and fascinating pictures of the enchanting island of Bali. One of the most enjoyable presentations was the spring offering of the Dramatic Club. Funny Business as its title indicates is a delightful comedy. Each actor had indeed Shakespeare's injunction, Act well your part. There all the honor lies. A distinct departure from the formal assembly was instituted this year. The students held two assemblies without the presence of faculty members. The presidents of the live classes not only dis- cussed problems of genuine interest to every student but offered solutions to some of them. The year would not be complete for us if our superintendent of schools, Dr. Robert T. Bapst, did not address us. As on previous occasions, his message was so genuine and applicable that it made a lasting impression on every individual. We appreciate the privilege of hearing him. The last assembly of the year is always dedicated to the many individuals and groups that have given of their time and talents generously and unobtrusively so that various phases of school life might function easily and smoothly. Unusually excellent cooperation was given by everyone. Therefore awards were given to the members of the color guard, the band and orchestra, debaters, monitors, stage electricians, and stage crew. ' The chairman of the assembly committee, Miss Anna Halloran, is always ready to assist where- ever help is needed by organizations in planning suitable programs. We trust that in our appreciation of her efforts she may, in a slight measure, Hnd her reward. Miss AUGUSTA SCHULTZ Tecblomhn, 1940 THE POWER CF THE BALLOT The ballot is a bulwark of the United States of America against corruption and decay, a reservoir of strength against tyranny and oppression, and an avenue of opportunity by which our nation may rise to greater heights. It makes the government of our land, a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, not in mere words but in actual practice. It affords each citizen, who pledges allegiance to the stars and stripes, an opportunity to become a stockholder in the greatest corporation in the world, it denies to no one a voice in government be- cause of race, creed, or sex. It places in ositions of leadership men who have been chosen freely by the majority, as being best able to steer tlie ship of state. It forces public officials to conform to ideals which the majority of citizens value, it removes from power those who are unprincipled and wish to exploit the masses. It eliminates the concentration of political power in the hands of a few, for it was built on the principle that the political vision of the many ma es for a nation's success. It enables the poor as well as the rich to gain public office, since it is not a vehicle for the ex- pression of the preference of a privileged class, but rather a method of revealing the will of the common man. It can secure the enactment of desirable laws which a legislature, may refuse to enact, it can suppress undersirable statutes if the voters decide that the laws are operating against general welfare. The ballot has the power of uniting American citizens in a spirit of fraternity, of giving them liberty and equality, and of proving that government can be a servant of the people, not a master of their destiny.

WARREN HACKER Faculty Advisers MR. C. BISHOP MR. E. BOLLER Kappa Sigma Phi, one of the oldest societies in Tech, was organized by the late Dr. Danial Upton, who was then principal. Dr. Upton founded the organization on March 9, 1909, with the pur- pose of establishing a society of students of high character and scholarship. These two qualities have always been kept in mind whenever we admit new members, for Kappa Sigma Phi represents the highest honor offered by the school. The main purpose of this society is to serve the school, which we have enthusiastically done many times upon the request of the principal. Kappa Sigma Phi holds bi-monthly meetings in the members' homes. Annually, on or about March 9, Kappa Sigma Phi sponsors a declamation contest in the school and that same evening both active and passive chapters assemble for a fraternal banquet. This event is the outstanding social affair for the members. Besides this event there is another that we anticipate, the Zoar Valley Trip, where the active and passive brothers again meet for a Week-end of fellowship and enjoyment. We sincerely want to thank our advisers, Mr. Bishop and Mr. Boller, for the interest and co- operation they have shown us in the many activities we have undertaken. Kappa Sigma Phi should be the objective of every new student at Tech, for the benefits received from being a member of the honor society will be helpful in the future. Tecbtonian, 1940 Row 5.

SARDELLA Mu Delta is the name given to the Machine Design Society of the Buffalo Technical High School. It was organized almost twenty years ago by Mr. Conrad Christel, a loyal Tech man and a machine design student endowed with leadership. Technical High School and the members of the Machine Design Club are indebted to Mr. Christel, the founder, and to Mr. Muelke, who was faculty adviser until his retirement from teaching two years ago. Briefly the aims of the Machine Design Club ate: correlation of class instruction with related knowledge by visits to industrial plants, special speakers, moving pictures, attendance at special lectures, demonstrations and exhibits pertaining to machine design, the fostering of a professional, co-operative and social understanding, the fruits of which are later reaped after graduation when rubbing elbows with men in industry. During the first term of 1939-40, visits were conducted to the Houde Engineering Corporation, manufacturers of shock absorbers for automobiles and other vehicles, to the Chevrolet Motor and Axle Division, and to the Worthington Pump and Machinery Corporation, manufacturers of Diesel and gas engines and compressors. For the second term Mu Delta arranged trips to the Carborundum Company of Niagara Falls, manufacturers of abrasives, grinding equipment and supplies, to Bethlehem Steel, to J. H. Williams Drop Forge, and to Curtiss Aeroplane. Mu Delta sponsors an assembly program annually, subscribes to the Machinery periodical, and purchases a book or two to be used by students in Machine Design classes and any other student of Technical High School. Last year, for the first time, membership to the Mu Delta was opened to Juniors. Previously it had been restricted to members of the Senior class in Machine Design 3. As a result the membership in the Mu DeltaSociety has profited numerically andabettetspirit has developed among Juniors and Seniors. Since the Mu Delta was organized it has been customary to have the Machine Design 3 instructor to Serve as faculty adviser. Mr. Joseph Sardella has earned unanimous gratitude for his co-Operation an interest. Tecblonian, 1940 Row 5 F. BELZ, S. SCELSI, N. FINKELSTEIN, JACHLEWSKI, lVlON'I'ORO. Row 4 W WVIIEELER, W.

BENSMAN Tau Epsilon Sigma, better known as the Tech Electrical Society, is one of the oldest societies in the school. At the time of its organization, in 1922, there was a membership of ten. Since that time, the Tech Electrical Society has expanded and carried on a wide and diversified recreational and schol- astic program, Industrial trips, picnics, lectures, experiments, films, and the annual skating party are only a few of the activities of our members in the past years. At the present time, we have a member- ship of thirty, all of whom enter whole-heartedly into our activities and during the first months of the first semester of the next school year, we plan to accept more new members. Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, and Fifth Year students in the electrical course are eligible for membership. Meetings are held every Tuesday after the eighth period in Room 10. We also hold a meeting every month at the home of one of the brothers, and it is at these meetings that IHOSI of the social activities take place. Our semi-annual initiation and induction ceremonies were great successes during the last two terms. Our induction ceremonies are held at the downtown branch of the Y. M. C. A. and a good time is assured to all the members and pledges who attend. We, the members of Tau Epsilon Sigma, wish to express our gratitude to Mr. Bensman, our faculty adviser, for his excellent supervision and guidance. lt is the sincere wish of the graduating members that the Tech Electrical Society may continue to be one of Tech's outstanding fraternities in the years to come.

Faculty Adviser The Engineering Society is one of the oldest societies in Technical, having been Organized by Dr. Upton in 1906. Until recent years it was one of the most prominent organizations in our school. This year a group of Seniors re-organized the club as an organ of the students in the College Preparatory Course. Members were chosen from the Junior and Senior classes. Under the able guidance of Mr. Zeferjahn, our faculty adviser, our president, and the other officers, we have successfully developed the club. Our organization is afhliated with the BuHialo Engineering Society and our members may attend their meetings at the Hotel Statler. We have had the privilege of visiting such plants as the Huntlev Power Plant, the Bethlehem Strip Mill, and the Shredded Wheat Plant. Our meetings, held semi- monthly, are addressed by members of the engineering profession. At Intervals we enjoy films on engineering. Theory is not the only aim of this society, various social functions, including an annual assembly and a banquet, have been planned. lt is the hope of all IIICIlIbCI'S that the Engineering Society will return to its former status in Tech.

The purpose of this organization is to promote and retain a unihed spirit of friendship and co-operation among the students in the Building Design Course. Despite a delay in resuming the activities of the club, the record of the society during this semester has been admirable. Highly educational lectures on engineering and building construction, which were given by the faculty advisers, were thoroughly enjoyed by the organization. The excellent results of an interesting drive for members were very gratifying. The extensive spring program which has been planned for the club, already promises to be both successful and enjoyable. Mr. Galvin and Mr. Burkhalter the fraternit 's advisers have aided unceasin lv in the ac- tivities of this club and their excellent uidance and su ervision have brou ht about much of the Societ s success.

Tech's Astronomical Society, Tau Alpha Sigma, has this year completed a mounting and a concrete foundation for our amateur-made reflecting telescope of six-inch aperture. lt is mounted at the home of Mr. Greenwood, a faculty member who is a zealous benefactor of the club. interesting observations were made of the planets jupiter, Mars, Saturn, and Venus in the clear fall and spring months of the year. We were indeed fortunate in having our telescope in operation this year, which marked the closest approach in decades of three major planets, namely, Jupiter, Saturn, and our life-bearing neighbor, Mars. Our approximately 80-power magnification has brought forth an abundance of sharp detail on these bodies and on the rocky surface of the moon. We are at present engaged in constructing an attachment to be fitted with new eyepieces of greatly increased power. The club's activities included a successful skating party this fall at the Delaware Roller Rink, and an interesting assembly in which the Rev. E. ll. Kolkmeyer, S. il., of Canisius College delivered an address on seismology. We have had many student lectures on subjects ranging from the huge new 200 inch telescope in California to universes other than our own. We have purchased a field manual for amateur astronomers and subscribed to an astronomical magazine, As projects, two members have plotted and inked in color an accurate 2. by 6 foot sky chart, several models of the astronomical instru- ments ofthe ancients have been constructed from drawings in manuscripts of the time, and the wand- erings of the planets have been plotted for several months. We should like to express our happiness at having our telescope permanently mounted at last, through the efforts of our benefactor, Mr. Greenwood, and our appreciation of the unflagging interest and co-operation of our faculty adviser, Dr. Chriswell. May the club continue to grow and flourish as well in the future as it has this year. Teclzlonian, 1940 Row 5. O. Cxvtzxwsxi, Kow.ixi.1K, G. Cii.xvMaN, lVILNILOl,I., P. XYMQIIIO, G. Coui. Ron 4. l..

Pokigivmfx The Tech Chemistry Club has added another year to its history. The purpose of this organiza- tion is to promote the interests and ambition of the deserving students of the Industrial Chemistry Course. This fraternity has spent sixteen years aiding such students. This year we have added thirty- five new members to the society. These students who have enrolled are benefited by the use of literature and lectures from the industrial and scientific world. The members of our society have had the opportunity to invest in chemicals and apparatus for their own use, at reduced prices. During the short months which have elapsed, the members have had the privelege ofa lecture by Chief Chemist Silner of the Buffalo Police Departments Crime Detection Laboratories. We have also had the welcome opportunity of visiting these laboratories, where the chief chemist patiently and carefully explained the chemical and physical methods of modern crime detection. Shortly thereafter, we visited the Rich Ice Cream Plant, a venture which shall long be remem- bered. Here the method of manufacturing and packing of frozen cream products was demonstrated and explained. The motion picture films which were used to entertain our members in the club-rooms, were obtained through the courtesy of the Museum of Natural Science. Plans are now being formulated for the annual assembly program to be presented soon. Cognizance, is hereby proclaimed bv the officers and members of the Tech Chemistrv Club, of the devoted efforts of our faculty advisef, Mr. Andrus, who so brilliantly directed and 'supported our activities.

RANNEY Tau Kappa Chi, better known as the Collectors Club was organized in November, 1936. ln its short period of existence the society boasts a very fine record. During the past the activities ofthe society have been many, One of these has been auctions at which objects of interest to the members are sold. This year a special auctioneer, Melvin Armbruster, was selected from the members to carry on this activity. During the year trading sessions are held. Occasionally talks are given on topics of interest to the members. An assembly program is included on the list of activities, which consists of interesting illustrated talks. Contests are sponsored during the year which are in the general form of the popular quiz programs. Many prizes are awarded to the winning members. The club boasts of its fine record for prizes won in exhibitions of stamps lent for this purpose by the members. The student body and faculty are constantly reminded of the club's activities through its permanent show case across from the library. This case attracts a great amount of attention. To help create good fellowship, the society has planned and sponsored tobogganing parties and banquets. lt is the custom of the club to hold an annual banquet at the Y. M. C. A., at the beginning of every school year for the purpose of welcoming new members into the society. To formally close the business of the society, at the end of the year, a banquet is held at which the Outgoing ofiicers and Seniors are honored. Tecblonian, 1940 Row 4. M. Gu'i'si.aa, R. WuHnoN, D.

LAWRENCH WIXIIIJ The Tech Hi-Y has the honor of being the oldest society active in Tech to-day. ln the year 1908 a group which was then known as the Tech Club was formed under the guidance of Mr. Henry Adsit Bull and Mr. B. Barrett Rich. This society has become known as one of the most active groups in the school. Each club of the Y groups in Buffalo is allowed a total membership of 50 and this is the first time this quota has been reached in Tech. Among the Hi-Y's many activities is the sponsoring of the annual parade before the first foot- ball game in order to build interest in the team. This year the game was played at the Civic Stadium. The group also assisted by ushering at the programs presented by the school. The proceeds of the annual Christmas assembly collection taken by the society were used to buy baskets for needy families, and this year this money also helped the victims of the infantile paralysis epidemic. This year in an effort to do something different the group inaugurated a Faculty Night. The male members of the faculty were invited by the boys of the Hi-Y to a banquet followed by entertain- ment put on by members. We sincerely hope this event will become an annual feature. During the meetings, held every Friday night, several members of the faculty spoke to us and many outside speakers consented to address the group. Motion pictures were also exhibited. The social program included basketball games, swimming, joint meetings and trips. The graduating members extend their best wishes to the Tech Hi-Y of future years. 'I 'et'htw11ln1, I 940 v Row 4. F.

Miss D. GRAURR The Junior Division of the Tech Radio Guild was organized at the opening of the school year, 1939-40. Its members, virtually all Juniors, have endeavored to improve their speaking ability before a microphone and before an audience. Any Junior or Senior interested in script writing, preparing sound effects, acting in short plays, or speaking over a microphone is eligible for membership. This year twenty-one enthusiastic members attended the weekly meetings. During this, our first year of organization, we helped to advertise the Tech Fall Revue by presenting numerous skits in the assembly. In October we visited the broadcasting studios in the Rand Building. Our assembly program, consisting of a Brain Buster contest and a short comedy, took place in March. This organization sincerely gives thanks to Miss Grauer for her kindly interest and co-operation. Tecbtonian, 1940 3 Row 6: POTTER, BOLTZ, XAYIDGER, LIPIARZ.

DAYMAN AND SARDELLA The Aeronautical Society-was organized on February 20, 1940. As faculty advisers Mr. Sardella and Mr. Dayman were chosen. The society was formed because of the increasing interest shown by the student body in the science of aeronautics. Its purpose as a society is to further this interest and to bring to every student a knowledge of the fundamentals of aeronautics.The organization was originally formed to encourage the construction of gas model airplanes, but the interest displayed in the tech- nicalities of aviation forced it to extend its program to include this feature. Although it is the youngest society at Tech, it is already one of the most active. The member- ship of this organization and the interest displayed by its members presages a society that will in the future be one of Tech's best. As an organization it is ambitious and progressive, adopting a vigorous program, constantly encouraging its members to further themselves in the knowledge of aeronautics. The society will grow, as aviation itself has grown in the past years. It will cease to grow, when men no longer nnd Interest in imitating the graceful flight of the birds across the heavens. Of course, that day will never dawn, for in our youth rests the unconquerable desire to find what lies beyond the horizon. Tecblonia 11, 1940 Row S. O. MURRAY, A. PERILLO, B. Biaxsziuc, O. MANNA.

The purpose of the Athlos is to promote interest in athletics within the school, to encourage students to Win a letter in sports, and to organize the boys who have achieved the honor. For many years this society was the most prominent club in the school. We are striving to re- establish the organization so that the interest in sports in Tech will be increased and a major letter man will be looked upon with envy. This year Mr. Richard R.

It was shortly after these visits that a program was planned and presented at a school assembly in March, 1937. From then on the band made rapid progress in becoming a favorite musical group at Tech. lt participated in four revues and co-operated with other clubs by aiding them with their programs. For its services to the school, the band has been awarded the letter T with a chromatic har- monica mounted on it. Tecbtonian, 1940 Row 41 G. lioacn mn, F. Pioraowsrct, GREEN, T. AMBRQSE, W. SMITH.

The Tech Dramatic Club was founded by certain members of the Freshman Public Speaking Class of 1936. lt was called the Freshman Dramatic Club. In 1937 the policy was changed to include all Tech students. This organization gives an opportunity to all students interested in developing their powers of speech and dramatic action, as well as to those who wish to do make-up and stage work. Although it is but four years old, the club has already established traditions. Every year it produces the annual Christmas play, and sponsors an annual assembly in which a play, is usually enacted by club members. The presentation of Archibald MacLeish's radio play, 4'The Fall of the City , was the sensation of last year's assemblies. As this book goes to press, the club is preparing for this year's program, a stage play, The last three years have seen a special room sponsored by the club at the annual school exhibit. Furthermore the club places its members at the disposal of any group in the school which may need assistance in a program. The make-up committee is responsible for the make-up used in all the school plays given during the year. These services and the interesting programs olliered by the club have caused it to grow rapidly until at present it has one of the largest memberships in the school. These achievements could not have been accomplished without the able supervision of our faculty adviser, Miss Grauer. To the members of next year's chapter we wish success and hope they will continue to uphold the ideals of the organization as set forth by our predecessors, Techtomlm, 1940 Row 3. A. KELLER, N.

GRi-XUliR Through the untiring efforts of Miss Dorothy Grauer, our faculty adviser, Delta Chi was organized and in the year 1928 its first constitution was drawn up, One particular article in it indicat- ing its purpose, read as follows: 'ATo promote good fellowship and to further the interest in the work of debating, and so this year especially we have striven to carry this out to its fullest extent. Most of Delta Chi's members are varsity debatersg this year Delta Chi has greatly stimulated debating spirit in the Freshman and Sophomore Classes by presenting the annual debate between these two classes. It has been our custom in the past to hold our meetings at the homes of our members, which plan has been so successful, that it has been made a monthly occurrence. The activities of Delta Chi are numerous. We have a basketball team and have encouraged the forming of athletics in organizations such as ours. The annual banquet is a very popular event to which all former members are invited. Usually some extra activity is pursued and this year our choice is a tobogganing party at Chestnut Ridge Park. Delta Chi sponsors, every other year, a book drive for the benefit of the school library. May the next year be as happy as this and prove equally profitable and successful.

C. Munn Ajfrenative-Mr. G. Lavis Each year two sets of debates are held, one in the fall and the other in the spring. In these debates the negative team remains at Tech while the affirmative team debates at the opponents' school. The subject of the fall debate was: Resolved that the extension of consumers' co-operatives is a beneht to the American welfare. The negative team was defeated by South Park, 8 to 7. The afhrmative lost to Bennett, ll to 4. The debaters, however, did admirable work. The subject of the spring debate held on March 15, was: Resolved that the State of New York adopt a retail sales tax on tangible property and personal services. The negative team was defeated by Riverside, 9 to 6. The affirmative lost to East, 8 to 7. One can tell by the scores that both contests were very Close. The debaters were grateful to Mr. Munn and Mr. Lavis who, with Miss Grauer, were most generous with time, encouragement, and instruction. Credit should also be given to Mr. Denney and Miss Kimmins who were very helpful in the correction of speeches. May the next year be more suc- cessful than the last.

GOLF At the All High Meet on October 2, 1939, for the Ganson Depew Trophy, Teck took sixth place. The preliminary matches against Lafayette and Grover Cleveland were cancelled because of the weather and the late opening of school, and the score of the Technical-East match was 22-2. Mr. W. Braun was the coach this year. Individual scores in the All High Meet were as follows: Koszka 86 Davis 98 Kwapisz 98 Skrzynski 97 The following awards were given for golf: Niqjw' Lettefxr Squad Letterr Stanley Koszka Joseph Mertes James Thompson Jack A.

Premetz and Hyman Sterngold Sophomore:-Carl Heck and Norman Duzen The traditional Freshman-Sophomore debate was contested for the twelfth time, February 13, 1940, under the sponsorship of Delta Chi. The Sophomorcs argued for the question, Resolved: That the tradition of no third term for President should be maintained. During the intermission, Delta Chi awarded guards which were to be attached to the oflicial pin, to the graduating members of the society. This has become a customary procedure in the annual assembly. After the judges, Mr. Denney, Mr. Lavis and Miss Halloran, had rendered their decisions, a silver loving cup was presented by Delta Chi's President, Carl Heck, to the president of the Sophomore Class, Norman Duzen. At the end of live years the cup will become the permanent property of the class having won it the most times and a new cup will be provided. This year the score was 2 to 1 in favor of the Sophomore Class. Commendable work has been done by all of the participants of Delta Chi's annual Freshman- Sophomore assembly program and the debating of each team was a credit to the class it represented.

FOOTBALL Under the guidance of Mr. Albert Haas, our coach, We launched our football campaign with 1 victory, defeating Fosdick-Masten by the score 14-7. The rest of the season proved fruitless. Perh ips our most exciting game was the one with South Park in which we very nearly vanquished the winner of our league.

CROSS COUNTRY The bright crisp fall days saw a goodly number of' boys representing Tech in cross country. Mr. E. Gottsch coached this team which had suffered losses by the graduation of last year's fastest runners, but which maintained a determined and sporting spirit. ln the first meet on October 11, 1939, Tech was opposed by South Park, East and Hutchinson, in the second meet, on October 19, Bennett and Lafayette were our opponents. ln the All High Meet on November 2, the first five Tech men took the 39th, 4'5rd, 44th, 48th, and 54th places.

Teal Teclrtonifzrl, 1 940 The 1939 history of Tech's Football Team cannot be told by the simple statistics of games won and lost. Every gridiron fan who followed the team stadiumward on those gala Saturdays last Fall remembers the stubborn resistance of that Tech line, those unexpected interceptions and goalvvard marches that kept our opponents to a total of only 38 points against our own 30 point offensive. WITH MASTEN, OCTOBER 7 In the opening game of the season the Masten snared a seven point lead early in the second quarter on an intercepted pass. But that was only the beginning of the second quarter. Don Rust's beautiful punt to Masten's 13 yard line set the stage for the retaliation. An attempted punt from behind the line was completely smothered. The blocked kick bounced into the end zone and then back onto the field Where Al Perillo pounced on it to begin the Tech drive. Leeland Jones went through left tackle for the touchdown on the next play, and Rust plunged for the point to tie the score 7-7. Still in the second quarterjones made a spectacular 34 yard return on Masten's kickoff, bringing the ball to the opponents 16 yard line. Several plays saw it advanced to the five with the attendant first down. John Morelock plunged to 3 yards and Jones pushed through for the touchdown leaving the score 14-7 in Tech's favor at the end of the half, and unchanged at the final whistle. WITH BURGARD, OCTOBER 14 In this game Tech gave a marvelous demonstration in holding the line when holding the line counts. Time and again Burgard drove deep into Tech territory only to be replused in the lovv numbers. Burgard's only score was two points on an automatic safety. This was the only game of the season in which Tech did not score. WITH SENECA, OCTOBER 21 After holding each other scoreless for the first half, Joe Barbera started the ball rolling in the third quarter by recovering a fumble on Seneca's 45 yard line. A spectacular 38 yard pass to Edward Rich brought the stands to their feet as Tech made the first touchdown, Jones converting the point. The Indians, however, made good their threat in the last few minutes of play with a touchdown and point to lock up the game for a 7-7 tie. WITH SOUTH PARK, OCTOBER 28 On the theory that the best defense is a strong offense Tech marched deep into South Park ter- ritory at the beginning of the game. Only in the second quarter did South Park recover from the shock long enough to score six points in the Tech end zone. But Rust's touchdown in the same quarter with Jones plunging for the point again put the Sparks team in red ink to the tune of 6-7. In the third quarter South Park quickly took advantage of a short punt return to take seven points. A scoreless fourth quarter wound up the game at 13-7 for South Park. WITH EAST, NOVEMBER 11 Two backyard scores were the noteworthy feature of this game. Early in the second quarter Tech found itself defending on its own two yard line. Jones fumbled the ball and Rust recovered but was tackled by Goetz of East before he could get the ball back to the line. East scored seven points in the third quarter but Tech retaliated in the fourth when Wally Blakowski brought down Bob Vogel in East's end zone, lining up the score 9-2 for the Orientals. Two sons of Tech won distinction in the Courier Express All-High-Team selections. Alfred Perillo was named center on the first team and Leeland jones took the halfback post on the second team.

CHEER LEADERS The cheer leaders of 1939-40 have lead the student body very energetically in expressing the school's gratitude to 21 speaker or entertainer. We have also enjoyed working with the student body in giving our football, basketball, swimming, cross-country, track and baseball teams moral support at different games and meets. Each year, when graduation comes, it takes its annual toll, and this year we find Jim Burns and Ken Johnston leaving.
