Ogden Armour The Faculty Club, although very smooth running and quiet in its opera- tion, is without a doubt, the most important organization at the Armour In- stitute of Technology. Nestled in the harmonious club rooms of the Mission Building, it serves the purpose of furnishing recreation and escape from class- room formality for the “quiz and lecture wearied” professors. So the Club is really a great light, not only for the professors but for the students as well. Referring to. this latter it may be said by way of explanation that the Club maintains a fund which provides help for those students in financial difficulties. Years ago, and still among the elder members, chess and checkers played an important part in the club liveliness, but times have changed and now it is billiards, ducks, fish, music, cross-word puzzles, and so on. Each member has his hobby and deep intellectual discussions brew within the walls of the club-rooms. Recently a billiard tournament was staged and those having a fair knowledge of the game were set at a handicap in order to make the com- petition tighter. Athletic competition and more generally discussion, is quite keen between the members. Golf and tennis are the strongest rivals. Volley-ball, an old time favorite with professors and educators, has lost its fascination, but Pro- fessors Tibbals and Perry play hand-ball in an effort to reawaken the interest in volley-ball. At the end of the summer months the Faculty Club is buzzing with news, which gradually dies off as the winter creeps on and the patiences are tried. But after all it is within those walls that human sympathies are poured forth and they come out to their next classes better men. . . .Honorary President .............President ..First Vice-President Second Vice-President .............Secretary .............Treasurer FACULTY God-Speed When the Armour Institute closes its class-rooms on the Spring semester it will bid God-speed to two of its faculty. They have both been dear to the hearts of their pupils, faculty, and those who were associated with them in any way. There is a certain feeling of anguish at having them leave us; yet we can give them our word that we are glad to have them go. We know that they are progressing and climbing to heights unknown. Doctor Wilson Lee Miser, Associate Professor of Mathematics, is leaving the Armour Institute of Technology to assume the position of Professor of Mathematics at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee. Doctor Miser has a B. A. from the University of Arkansas in 1908, an M. A. from Yale University in 1910, and a Ph. 1). degree from the University of Chicago in 1913. He has held the positions of Instructor in Mathematics at the University of Minnesota, College of Engineering, in 1915; Assistant Professor of Mathe- matics at the University of Arkansas from 1915 to 1919; Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the Armour Institute of Technology from 1919 to 1921 ; and Associate Professor of Mathematics at the Armour I astitute of Technology in 1921 until this time. Doctor Miser will be leaving a position which has endeared him to everyone. Professor Nathan Lesser, Assistant Professor of Descriptive Geometry, is leaving the Armour Institute of Technology to accept a position as assistant to the Chief Engineer of Deere and Company located at Moline, Illinois. Pro- fessor Lesser has a B. S. degree from the University of California in 1915. For five years he has taught the students of the Armour Institute of Technology Descriptive Geometry, Freshman Mechanical Drawing, Sophomore Machine Design, and Junior Machine Design Drawing. He will be long remembered by his associates and students and welcomed at every reunion. Forty-four Forty-five The Alumni Association of the Armour Institute of Technology ik'.

Kkllker Ralph Neufeld H. Lang Forty-six HHHI Prominent Alumni To the «average individual, the work of an engineer, his drawings of mechanical devices, curves plotted according to differential equations, and higher theoretical analyses; mean very little. These things arc beyond the grasp or conception of the every-day man and woman. But the work of an artist or architect presents in a pleasing manner something that may be admired and appreciated. So, in the past year two men of the Armour Institute of Technology have presented to the world, specimens of beauty and works of art. This work has been appreciated and Armour Institute basks in the reflected glory. These two men were classmates and their names were linked together many times during their college course. Otto F. Cerny and Harry Kurt Bieg mean a great deal to the Armour Institute of Technology and help to swell her maternal pride. Otto F. Cerny graduated from the Institute in the spring of 1922 and immediately started work in the office of S. S. Beman. I le did not. however, drop his academic work, but continued it and made himself a candidate for the Le Brun Scholarship in the fall of 1923. At the same time he became a candidate for the Paris Prize. Otto F. Cerny failed to make the Paris Prize, but his defeat seemed to spur him on and he won the Le Brun Scholarship. He was given the scholar- ship because his drawings showed a thorough appreciation and understanding of the problem and were in themselves straightforward, logical, and pic- turesque. The personal qualifications of the candidate were no small factor in the final decision of the judges. The Le Brun Traveling Scholarship is awarded to some deserving archi- tect or architectural draftsman between the ages of twenty-three and thirty and consists of fourteen hundred dollars to be spent in European travel lasting not less than six months. Since last May Cerny has touched in Belgium, France, Czech-Slovakia, Austria. Italy, Morocco, Spain, and Eng- land. The Paris Prize was the goal and achievement of Harry Kurt Bieg, who ALUMNI was no less conspicuous in his academic work than Cerny. Between his Junior and Senior years he passed several months in Germany and he returned with a fire and set out to win the Paris Prize. In his first attempt he came out with several medals, but he returned with the same vigor that Cerny showed and won the second time. The Paris Prize is given upon very strict and rigid competition and provides for a scholarship in the Ecole des Beaux Arts dc Paris of two and one-half years. Also three thousand dollars is provided for traveling and living expenses. It is open to all American citizens under twenty-seven years of age and is considered the highest architectural honor award in the country. Bieg’s representation of the problem was considered as having superior knowledge in plan and modern construction and revealed an intimate sense of the comparative importance of the parts. A special feature of Bieg’s design lay in the huge steel shaft for the purpose of furthering radio work and experimentation. The spirited horse, which will of itself strive to heat in the race, will run still more swiftly, if encouraged. —Ovid. To the Seniors from the Alumni An old fabulist has told us that a certain man gave to each of his several sons a stick of wood with instructions that he break it over his knee. This each son did easily. The father then tied the same number of sticks together in a bundle and gave a bundle to each son. in turn, to break in the same manner; but each, in turn, failed to break the bundle of sticks. The moral of this, as our old friend, Professor C. E. Freeman used to say, is obvious. It has been my privilege and pleasure on trips to various parts of the country to meet Armour men, often times in places where I would least expect to meet them. It has again been my pleasure to frequently bring them together after years of separation. I have met them frequently occupying high places in the industrial life of the nation, and with a feeling of pride in their achieve- ments. It is only natural that we should scatter so soon through the different walks of life, but I have always felt that the bond which held us together originally should not be loosened. My sole aim this year, as President of the Alumni Association, has been to bring together all of our members at least to the extent that we know where they are and can communicate with them as we wish them to communicate with the Alumni Association in Chicago. T believe that only in this way can we serve each other and the Armour Institute of Technology. The Association now numbers twenty-eight classes, and the body of men that they represent is an asset, not only to the Armour Institute of Technology, and to each subsequent graduating class, but to the entire country. To the graduating class, we extend a cordial invitation to join our mem- bership. Our pioneers have blazed the trail. The experience of the older men is at the service of the newcomers, who can well profit thereby. With a view to meeting more frequently than our semi-annual reunions in mid-winter and spring, we have established the weekly luncheon on Tuesday noon, to which every Senior is cordially invited. In this way we hope to keep up continually those personal contacts which were started in our school days, and which we find become more and more valuable as we go through life. Oscar A.

Patterson CLASSES The Senior Class A Picture of the Class by the Class At last we have finished our happiest, and at the same time our saddest year of college life. We go forth with our minds awhirl with the countless maxims and warnings which professors have thrust upon us. They have assured us that we are but neophytes in a world of wisdom, helpless mortals in a world of supermen where there is none of the lenience and tolerance that we are accustomed to in college. As the chip of wood is cast upon the raging sea, we arc to plunge into a tempestuous sea of industry captained by stern, grim-visaged men. These men, though college educated, have achieved suc- cess. and they are able to pick out our innermost shortcomings with but a passing glance. To be brief, there is little hope for us poor boobs. As the past life of a drowning man flashes rapidly before his vision, the accumulated sins of four years parade before us as we are about to take the celebrated tail spin into the aforementioned sea of industry. When we were freshmen, we were wont to gaze with awe at the ponderous machinery of engineering, the automatic, integrating, deflecting horsograph, and other fasci- nating apparatus. It all lies before us now like an open book. What machine is so complicated that we cannot divulge its secrets with a simple twist of the slide rule and the use of a certain constant known as the ‘‘answer factor?” What chemical unknown will long remain unknown to us now? We need but judiciously apply a little intuition and past experience and there you arc. Have we not conclusively proved that the slide rule method is far superior to Michelson’s method for operating the interferometer? As we reflect back upon these outrages against science, we have an uneasy feeling that these short cuts and dubious paths to knowledge are largely responsible for the feeling of insufficiency that we may harbour at our debut into the professional field. But are we downhearted? Certainly not! The sweet music of the New York Central is not overjxmered by the sound of gnashing teeth. The serene calm of night is not disturbed bv deep, heartrending sobs as the seniors lie upon their stony cots. We arc going to show the pessimists that they are wrong, and that eventually the world will be our oyster. In obtaining an education we may have passed lightly over a few details such as Calculus and Thermodynamics, but the education is there just the same. We have spent four years preparing to take our place in the world, and although we know not what is coming, we are ready for it. The senior year was our happiest because it was our best; it was our saddest because it was the last. We have taken an active part as usual in the social and athletic life of the year. A basketball team composed of senile, doddering, toil-worn seniors was victorious over teams of the other classes whose members were not yet de- bilitated by lugging brief cases full of six dollar books. The seniors were present and largely active at all the dances, smokers, and affairs which go to make up college life. We hope we have demonstrated that our four years were good for us. and that we go out better because of them, with a good feeling for everybody and every thing, even the lunchroom.

Time, 1922; Director, Gorder; Photographer, Lang. The first scene shows a group trying to become registered all at the same time. The atmosphere is clouded contusion and dumbosity. The second scene opens on our athletes who are winning the inter-class basketball championship. An event known as the “Frosh Frolic” in another scene depicts the drama- tic ability of the members of the class. The French Room of the Drake Hotel is the setting for the fourth scene and we see the Class of ’26 making their social debut. The last scene takes place on Ogden Field and is similar to bargain day shopping. The actors are divided into two groups who are pitted against each other in an efYort to gain some mysterious bundles from the middle of the field. After the dust clears we see that the Class of ’26, our heroes, are the Victors. End of Part One. Part 'Two will follow immediately. Part Two. Time, 192.3; Director, Hogan; Assistant Director, Danziger; Photogra- pher, McLaren; Banker, Marhoefer. Scene One is of athletics and we see the Class of ’26 victors in wrestling and track. The moment of pathos conies when we see the class lose the inter- class basketball title. The Class of '26 brings an entirely new scene at the Opera Club, when they hold their dance at that spot. 'l'lie next scene is the same as the last scene of Part One, only this time the Class of ’26 go down, valiantly fighting. Intermission Part Three lime, 1924; Director, Danziger; Assistant Director, Barger: Photogra- pher, McLaren; Banker, Dean; Scribe of the College, Stiehl. This scene is quite a contrast to the first one of this playlet. We see Juniors, upperclassmen, in an orderly and dignified way bearing themselves upon registration day. As the scene shifts to the Opera Club, we see more clearly the polish of the young men of the Class of ’26. There is an informal dance in progress during this scene. In formal attire the characters of the third scene make the climax of the social calendar one of the four dates of a lifetime. One glance is sufficient to show the audience that these are men worthy of the title “gentle.” The next scene is a day later on Ogden Field where our heroes are masters of ceremonies.

We have striven to produce a record that is worthy of Armour and worthy to be held up as an example for those who follow. We believe we have succeeded. When we entered as freshmen. Armour was an unknown realm of learn- ing and the students, among whom we now number some of our best friends, were strange and distant. Gradually, as the time went on, that first feeling of strangeness diminished until it was banished from our minds by the knowledge that we were indeed a part of Armour. Following the Freshman Handshake we plunged into school affairs by organizing our class and electing an energetic group of officers. As a fit beginning to our social activities we gave a Frosh Frolic that surprised ourselves no less than the upper classmen in the wealth of talent that it uncovered in our ranks. The memories of a pleasant mid-winter recess had hardly dimmed when the Finals caught us unaware and somewhat lessened the joys of our existence. We had not yet learned to scorn all examinations in the grand manner of upper classmen, they were therefore a serious factor in our life. When the worries of Exam” time were over and the routine work of our second semester fairly begun we gave our first class dance. Our guests on this occasion reported a fine time and good music. What more need be said? In May we furnished a little informal entertainment for the class of ’26 when we defeated them in the class rush. With Osgood as our leader we piled some twenty-two bags at our goal against the fifteen taken by the sophomores. Closely following this battle came the greater one with the “Finals,” but this time they struck no terror in our hearts, and we left for the summer with just a faint trace of regret that our first year was over. In the fall we returned but slightly decreased in numbers and took up our activities where we left off the preceding semester. Illness forced Secretary Moran to leave at the end of the first semester and J. D. Green was elected to fill his place. R. C. Peacock and his committee arranged for our second dance, held this time at the Drake Hotel. The few hours of gaiety fled all too soon but for days afterwards we heard echoes of those gay times. Many men were guilty of whistling blithe tunes, heard at the sophomore dance, even as they ran generator tests or cooked evil looking mixtures in beakers. Incidentally, let us note that Castle, a ’27 man, was leader of the orchestra. We can well be proud of our record in athletics. When we were freshmen our Basketball team brought us our first championship. All five men on that team; Morgan, Brockmann, Hellgren. Augustine, and KulTel, are now out for the varsity squad. In our sophomore year Brockmann and Hellgren, being “A” men, were eliminated and we were unsuccessful in our efforts to take the championship a second time. In track, Ball, Payne, and Long have upheld the honor of ’27 and con- tributed their part to the winning of the Freshman-Sophomore track meet held this year. In golf Miller and Urban were champion and runner-up respectively and Peacock won us honors in tennis. Our wrestling team added another championship to our growing list. And so we could go on indefinitely, telling of the thines our men have accomplished and the deeds that they have done, but it is sufficient to say that every man in the class is doing his part, not as spectacular as others perhaps, but equally important. It is with the resolution to work unceasingly for the future of Armour that we face the responsibilities of our Junior year. Ninety-one BACK ROW:—Walter. Flynn. Quinn.

How green and unsophisticated they were can not be described, but can only be felt by someone who has gone thru those same paces. In a short time they were at their tasks, preparing problems, reports, and performing experiments. How different college work is from what a man does in the high schools! The Freshmen had come to the realization that they are “no longer High School Boys, but are now College Men.” Their foolishness must partially die out and they must apply themselves as though to their life work. One of the first things that the Class of ’28 executed as a unit was in attending the Freshman Handshake given in the Mission Building under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. At that time the Freshmen were given an opportunity to become acquainted with the upper-classmen. Another meeting of the Class of ’28 was effected and the officers for the year chosen. It was quite a difficult task to choose those men whom you barely know to hold office and let them manage your affairs, but the Class took five paces and elected five men who have since that time ably fulfilled their positions and obligations. In late September the Freshman-Sophomore Track Meet was announced and candidates listed themselves for the day in October when they would test their skill against the Sophomores. The final score was 72-50 in favor of the Sophomores, but the Freshmen still feel proud that one of their number, Hamlett, was the high point man of the meet. Inter-class Basketball failed to bring any laurels to the Freshman Class. The first game against the Juniors raised the hopes of the Freshman Class, but the defeats by the Sophomores and the Seniors dashed these same hopes. It is hoped by the Class that with practice together they will win the Cham- pionship in the following years. The Freshmen were able to display their terpsichorean abilities at the Oj era Club on February 27th. The Freshman Class Dance was accepted as one of the five successful dances of the year.

Stanley Larson......Chairman The Annual Inter-Honorary Fraternity Dance was held at the Ambassador Hotel on Friday evening, April twenty-fourth. It was the same scene of the year before, only the actors were changed. Here and there one could espy one of the old actors who are now toiling their way in this world. How changed they look and yet with the same vigor they attack the task before them and make it more than a success. As we glance around the room we see faces that arc not unfamiliar to all the men of the college. If one were to stop and think, it would be natural to think that such a group of intel- lectual men, the cream of them all, would be at a total loss at such an affair. No, no, far from it! These men know when to play and how just as well as they know when to school and how. As we glance at the program we are confronted with a new name, Pi Taw Sigma. A little inquiry reveals that this is a new honorary for the Mechan- icals. Good Stuff! Looking further at the program we see that there is now not a depart- ment which is not represented. The Committee on Arrangements embodies such men as “Gene” Odcnwaldt for Tan Beta Pi, “Reggie” Regensberger for Pi Tan Sigma, “Ted” Bockman for Phi Lambda Upsilon, “Stan” Larson for Eta Kappa Xu, George Arachovitis for Chi Epsilon, “Joie” McLaren for Salamander, “Willi” McCauley for Scarab, and “Casey” Hubbell for Sphinx. Do you wonder that we had a good time? One Hundred One ¥ L as Senior Dance Social Committee of the Senior Class George J. Taylor, Chairman E. S. Larson W. H. Baldwin W. J. McCauley S. Owens If you could have been one of those lucky ones who were at the Hotel Sherman on the night of Octolxjr the twenty-fourth, you would be ready now to pay twice as much to be there again. You ask me, “What was there?” Why the Senior Class of the Armour Institute of Technology opening the Social Calender of the year with one of the most charming dances. The Tiger, Gray, and Crystal Rooms were filled to a capacity with the youths and lasses mingled with their professors and wives, each giving his part to that beautiful ensemble. Why, man, did you ever hear “Jinks” Bryan’s Collegians play? Well, they were there and not one half a tone below par. When they told me it was time to go I would not believe them, and said surely that there must be an error. SOCIETY The Junior Dance Social Committee of the Junior Class Donald 13. Davidson. Chairman Everett Cooper Otto S. Peterson William VanValzah James A. Davidson I am mighty glad to see that my talk to you about the Senior Dance did some good. I saw you at the Opera Club last Friday the twenty-first of November. Who in the Junior Class was able to sell you a ticket? Well, now give me an honest answer. Did you enjoy yourself? (Here my friend went off into a trance and made me late to my next class. He lauded the Opera Club to the heavens, as an ideal place for any school dance. He took special delight in enumerating and rating each man in the Seven Spiders. Some of the terms he used in this last are undefinable in the President’s American but are well known to every college man. Then he asked me, much to my delight, when the next dance was “coming off.”) I laughed to myself and agreed with him heartily. SOCIETY The Sophomore Dance Social Committee of the Sophomore Class Robert C. Peacock, Chairman Kenneth E. Crane W esley C. Miller Harry F. Dean Gale Morgan “Where were you last Friday night?” my friend queried, when I tried to miss him on the morning of December 15th. Here 1 was caught, I had roasted him so about not attending the Senior Dance, that he took great delight in capturing me and putting me through the same tricks. “Don’t you know that the Sophomore Class ran a dance last Friday at the Drake Hotel? I’ll bet you couldn’t guess who furnished the music.” “No. It was Les’ Castle and his Sercnaders, now aren’t you sorry you did not go?” I had to acknowledge that I was in the wrong and I hated to face Pro- fessor Tibbals, for it seemed to me that he might notice that I was not there and would ask me the same questions. But then I vowed not to miss another under anv circumstances. One Hundred Four SOCIETY Freshman Dance Social Committee of the Freshman Class George Tucker, Chairman E. S. Boston K. C. Anderson W. D. Allen I l eg your pardon,” someone said to me on the night of February 27th at the Opera Club. I was just ready to say something when I turned and saw it was my friend. Here we were together again at the last informal dance of the year given by the Freshman Class. “What do you think of these cross-word puzzle programs? Isn’t there a fine crowd here? I never heard a better orchestra, did you? When did you get here?” He volleyed me with questions and evidently made up his own answers for he gave me no time to make any. I thought to myself. “W ell, yours truly has scored another triumph and has managed to convert another stoical engineer into a human being with feelings and emotions.” As I was passing out, my friend tapped my arm and said, “Boy!” That word was a whole book and expressed everyone’s opinion.

But I sure do recall that Prom. That was at the Belden-Stratford Hotel and put on by the Class of ’26, wasn’t it? Yes, that was our class.” “Can you ever forget that music by Hank Harris? When I think of the music we used to get and how we paid so little attention to it, I feel guilty of some terrible crime.” “Do you remember,” continued my friend, “how we kidded the Chemicals about trying to analyze the punch by drinking it?” “One thing that makes me happy is to see that the following Junior Classes have had enough sense to keep the Junior Prom Formal. Say, I believe there is another one next week! Pet’s go and have one of our old good times like we had in 1925!” “Say no more—I’ll go up to the office and write for two bids this after- noon.” One Hundred Sine Social Calendar 1924-1925 Sept. 8—Rho Delta Rho: Move to new house. 12—Rho Delta Rho: Welcome Smoker. 20— Triangle: Pledge Smoker. 26—Triangle: Pledge Smoker. 30—Phi Kappa Sigma: Rushing Smoker.

One Hundred Eleven llKrn oik-- ENGINEERING SOCIETIES American Society of Mechanical Engineers Armour Branch Officers Prof. George F. Gebiiardt..................Honorary Chairman H. Walter Regensberger..............................President John M. Shoemaker..............................Vice-President George Maffit, Jr...................................Secretary C11 arles M. Row ley................................Treasurer At the first regular meeting of the Armour Institute Branch of the Ameri- can Society of Mechanical Engineers, Professor Gebhardt spoke on the classi- fication of professional occupations, stressing the point that engineers are seemingly unimportant because of their own reticence. The engineer by virtue of his mode of training is quiet and unassuming. His ability to solve a situation is unequalled, but he seldom gets a chance to use his invaluable faculties, because for the most part he is unwilling to put himself forward. This latter may be due to inability to self-expression. With this situation in mind, the society has arranged its work so that this may be remedied. Student talks have l een numerous and varied. They are entirely original upon the part of the student. President Regensberger was the first speaker and gave the substance of a letter from the Grand Secretary of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers to all student organizations. The following meetings were made interesting by talks by Messrs. Dunlap, Stahl, Ostrin, Kramer, Benson, Odenwalt, and others on strictly technical subjects. The Armour Branch feels that it has accomplished much along this con- structive line. On Thursday evening the sixteenth of April, the society held its annual smoker at the Theta Xi Fraternity House. The professors of the Mechanical Engineering Department were present and the Junior and Senior Mechanicals heli ed burn the cigars and cigarettes. After the refreshments were served the meml ers of the society attempted to put on a musical concert, but due to the lack of knowledge of the instruments at hand the music was a little fiat. At a special meeting, Professor Roesch in co-ordination with the national observance of Gas and Oil Power Week, gave a talk on the subject “Experi- ments with Stationary Gas Engins.” The talk covered many interesting facts from both field and laboratory work.

Sothen..................................Secretary Herbert H. Chun....................................Treasurer The end of the 1924-1925 school year marks the twenty-second successful year for the A. I. K. E. at Armour. In the course of the year many prominent men have been the guests of the Institute upon the invitation of the A. I. E. E. Among this number are Mr. I. Wright, “The Chicago Terminal Improve- ment;” Major Kelker, “Chicago's Traction Problem;” and Mr. E. Thurston, “Commercial Survey of a large City.” Mr. C. H. Jones, Electrical Engineer of the North Shore Lines spoke on “Extension Projects.” The regular meetings of the branch serve the student an important purpose in that they take him cut of the theoretical and into the practical and profes- sional field. By listening to the men of the practice, the student is given the connecting link between what he is now doing and what bearing it has upon the world of engineering. 'Phe society also realizes the need of public presentation and so under the guidance of Professors Moreton and Snow and Mr. Richardson, subjects are chosen by members and presented to the society. Among those who have appeared are Tweedle, Aaron, Prebenson, Dean and Bishop. The inspection trips form no small part of the work of the A. I. E. E. One of the mort interesting trips was taken to the shops and tunnels of the Chicago Tunnel Co. These trips form vivid impressions on the mind of the student and give invaluable instruction. The social program consisted of two smokers. The first was a huge success and the entertainment was provided by Tweedle, Desmond, Owens, Chun and I arson, all members of the Senior Class. The second was prompted and given by the Juniors in honor of the Seniors. 'Phe Juniors furnished the entertainment at this second smoker. This smoker was held in the Mission Building on the evening of March 25th. Those who figured prominently in the entertainment were Bartucci, Goetz. Hansen, Larson, Laederach, Lowden, Lukey, Owens, Robinson, and Slugodski. The professors of the Electrical Engineering Department were in attendance and during the course of the evening each was given a chance to speak.

The past year has been a successful one from every standpoint. Outstanding among the events are the brilliant and inspiring talks and lectures that have been given by pro- fessional men. Many of the best speakers who have appeared at the Armour Institute of Technology have been secured thru the members of the Western Society of Engineers. Nearly all of the lectures which have been given under the auspices of the W. S. E. have been of such general interest that the audience was composed of many members from all the departments. Indeed, the Branch has felt highly honored by the presence of these representatives. An outline of these activities will best serve as a review. Jacob L.

Ostland.............................. . . .Student Representative on the Board of Management Professor Alfred E. Phillips............Vacuity Advisor On the twenty-second of January. 1925, the student branch of the Amer- ican Society of Civil Engineers was organized at the Armour Institute of Technology. The National Society was organized in 1852. The purpose in launching the new society at Armour was to promote the science of engineering and to provide a goal toward which the lower classmen might strive. The constitution provides that those Juniors and Seniors in the Civil Engineering Department who are members of the Armour Branch of the Western Society of Engineers shall be eligible to election to this society. As for the officers, those men in office in the Western Society automatically become officers of the A. S. C. E. Fifty students and professors gathered on the evening of April 3rd for the purpose of burning several cartons of cigarettes at the Phi Kappa Sigma House. A string quintette alternated with Gritsciike, Frisch and Douglas (’24) in furnishing musical entertainment. The Chi Epsilon pledges furnished a shadow operation which did not affect the appetites of those civil engineers. Great things are predicted for this new society because it has the backing of a huge established organization to which it is not only a privilege but an honor to belong. It is hoped that with the combined efforts of the two Civil Engineering Societies, many fine lectures and speeches will be secured. Since the two organizations have arranged to meet at alternate times, there will be no conflicts and both may be boosted to the limit. One Hundred Eighteen Frisch, Gaul, Schaefer, Rasmussen, Nelson.

A list of those men who have addressed the Chapter within the last academic year follows :— Prof. Harry McCormack, of Armour Institute, “Opportunities for Chem- ical Engineers.” William Hoskins, of Mariner Hoskins, “The Outlook for Chemists and Engineers. Otto Eisenschimel, of The Scientific Oil Compounding Co., “Chemistry as a Business Career.” Carl S. Miner, of The Miner Laboratories, “Furfural--The Story of an Industrial Problem.” Dr. David Klein, of the Wilson Laboratories, “Glandular Therapy.” Albert R. Brunker, of the Liquid Carbonic Co., “Education.” Prof. Benjamin B. Freud, of Armour Institute, “The Cardinal Precepts of the Chemical Engineering Profession.” J. C. Ingram, of the Cealite Products Co., “The Selection and Operation of Filtration Equipment.” Walter B. Brown, Vice-President of the Victor Chemical Works, “Phos- phate in the Food Industry.” F. E. Gardner. President of the Gardner-Barada Chemical Co., “Every- day Opportunities for the Chemical Engineer.” The first social affair of the year was a Smoker given at the Phi Pi Phi House on the Evening of December 17. 1924. The entertainment of the evening was furnished by Professor Wallace B. Amsbary, the “rubber apron” Armour Orchestra, and the Chemical Engineering Glee Club. On Wednesday evening, April 22nd, The Armour Branch revived an old tradition by holding a banquet at the City Club. In recent years it has been neglected but due to the general enthusiasm, it has been decided to have one such event each year in the future. The attendance was large and included a number of professors and alumni. One Hundred Twenty 'N0-' .eg. ENGINEERING SOCIETIES A.I.Ch.E.

Miller......................................Treasurer The Fire Protection Engineering Society is individual in that it is the only organization of its kind in the United States, for the Armour Institute of Technology is the only college which maintains a course in Fire Protection Engineering. The spirit of the society is another novel feature for in no other department are the men going thru their college life with a common bond. % The activity of the society was relatively small due to the protracted illness of Professor Finnegan, who heads the department and acts as Faculty Advisor. Thru the efforts of Professor Nelson the society has been able to hear several prominent men. Some of these were Chief Arthur F. Sevferlich of the Chicago Fire Department, Messrs. E. W. Hotchkiss, R. E. Vernor, Harry Rogers, Wellington R. Townley, Frank H. Jones, Benjamin Richards, Robert J. Foloney and P. R. Wesley. These talks given by such men inspire the students to noble endeavors in their life work for which they are making preparation at the Institute. On the evening of March 6th the society staged its annual smoker at the Theta Xi Fraternity House. That evening will never be forgotten by those who attended. There were the customary eats and smokes but the entertain- ment is what made the affair unique. In reality, the men entertained them- selves. for the house was transformed into a miniature Monte Carlo. Since imitation money was used, there was some excuse for the surprising display of extreme lavislmess and prodigality. One Hundred Twenty-two Mb— ENGINEERING SOCIETIES F P.E.S. Green. Gaylord. A. K.

Reed, Jr..............Faculty Advisor Ever since the Armour Architectural Society was formed it has endeav- ored to eliminate that almost inevitable gap between each of the four classes in the Architectural Department. A great aid to the purpose of the society, just stated, has been the re-arrangement of classes, so that all four of the classes in Architectural Design are now located in the same room. Another function of the society is the presentation to the men, prominent men and pertinent topics along the lines of Architecture. The talks of men such as Messrs. Sheridan, Sowerby, Berrsman, Bennit, Granger, Lowe, and Venning have been a great help to the men of the society. They have done much to keep the embryo architects on the right trail. The social side of the Architectural Society was manifested in the Annual Initiation and Banquet held on March 18, 1925. In the later afternoon of that day, the Freshmen were initiated into the society in the clubrooms of the Art Institute. A short while later, in the evening, the Freshmen were allowed to display their skill at the Banquet. The speakers of the evening were Mr. Andre X. Rebori, Professor Earl H. Reed, Jr., and Messrs. William J. Smith and Rudolph J. Nedved, both members of the Faculty. Otic Hundred Twenty-four Travellettl. Rieger.

Pfeiler...................................Treasurer Professor Guy M. Wilcox........................Faculty Advisor During the past year the Armour Radio Association has accomplished greater gains in the purpose of the organization than it has ever done before. The meetings of the association have been held at regular intervals and men of importance in the radio field have addressed the men. By such activity the men have gained knowledge and judgment which will improve the radio station situated at the Institute. Until this year the Radio Station, located in Chapin Hall, has been more or less dormant due to the difficulty in installing the equipment which was the gift of W. A. Wiebolt and Company. Little could be done until the right kind of electrical power was available. Last summer this came to a realization when a 220-volt single phase current line from the outside was run to the station. After school started last fall it was not long until the 2000-volt machine was supplying plate current to the 250-watt tube in a Hartley Circuit. On September 29, 1924 the radio station operating on the official govern- ment call of 9-NV, was opened. Since that time this station has been on the air five nights a week. Licensed oj erators and members of the association operating this station have been heard in many parts of the country. All the amateur districts of the country have been worked including a number of west coast stations. 9-NV has been heard in Porto Rico, England, and New Zealand. Long waves were used at first but soon alterations were made to work with shorter waves, although most of the operation has been done at 80 meters some has been done at 40 meters.

Due credit is to be given the Armour Tech Athletic Association and Student Union for the financial aid. Without this aid success would have been practically impossible. The untiring efforts of Professor Phalen as Director of the Clubs coupled with the enthusiasm of the members, have served to create a new atmosphere at the Institute. The combined activity has seasoned the student body to a state where music is appreciated and its necessity realized. Of the many Concerts given by the Clubs in and about Chicago, the two most important were the Inter-Collegiate Contest of Mid-Western College Glee Clubs and the Annual Home Concert. The other minor concerts have been an excellent preparation for those two major events. They have also served as a dignified and worthwhile advertising medium for the college. It requires con- stant care and tact to get the public to the stage where requests for concerts are received without being solicited, but the Armour Clubs have given several concerts within the last year upon requests. This fact bodes well for the future of music at Armour. Some of the important engagements of the year are as follows: Morgan Park M. E. Church Given by the Orchestra and Glee Chib. Blue Island M. E. Church Given by the Orchestra and Glee Club. Cook County House of Correction Given by the Band, Orchestra, and Glee Club. Central Y. M. C. A. Given by the Orchestra and Glee Club. Central Y. W. C. A.

Since that time three Inter-Collegiate Contests have been held. At these contests fourteen Midwest colleges have participated and at each one of these the Armour Tech Glee Club set high standards for the winners to overcome. At the present rate of progress the name of the Club will soon ring from coast to coast. One Hundred Thirty-two ?. Eia Lauer, Hefner, Davidson, Wilson, Wolcott Lund, Larson, Carlson.

The Band has played at nearly all of the assemblies and has supplied color and “pep to the baseball and basketball games and the athletic rallies and Circus Day. How fine it was to hear the Band playing the Armour Fight Song in Milwaukee when the basketball team played Marquette. The Band proved a boon to the frightened Freshmen on Circus Dav.

Not only did the orchestra play at these times but also at several assemblies. The usual selections were of a classical nature but upon one occasion selections from a popular musical comedy were rendered and nearly “brought down the house.” One Hundred Thirty-four •N-O- CLUBS UKELELE CLUB Bishop.

Why not ? There was at one time a Mandolin Club. One Hundred Thirty-fire CLUBS Y.M.C. A. Officers Marshall B. Wood..................................President Grover O.

The speakers for the evening were Professor George L. Scherger, Professor Amsbary, and Mr. Hollister, the executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A. A result of this event was the increase of membership to sixty-five. At one of the early meetings Professor Scherger gave an interesting talk on 'Vi Young Man’s Outlook in Life” and Professor Mangold outlined the Scope of the ‘Y’ Program.” The l enefits of a “Y” Membership are numerous. The Club-rooms furnish a delightful place for a book-weary student to lunch, smoke and relax in the clean recreation of music, games and association with fellow students. Such associations outside of the class-room have always been recognized as a distinct advantage and helps to form those lifelong friendships, which mean so much in later life. Y. M. C. A.

Meyer Charles Nelson William Sothen, Jr. Douglas R. Stiehl Harry P. Wiiitkhill In order to meet the demand for trained men for the principal staff posi- tions of the “Armour Engineer’' and the “Cycle” the Press Club was formed. It was found that nearly all the material of these staffs was composed of Juniors and Seniors who had no experience to speak of, upon cither of the publications, and that when the ropes were put in their hands they were at sea for some time. This created an inefficient situation which was only to be remedied by the aid of some sort of a training school for those men who were desirous of affiliating themselves with publication work. To this end “Sphinx” the Honorary Literary Fraternity, under the guidance of Mr. E. Orson Pierce, formed what was to be known as the “Press Club.” The Press Club is open to any student of the Armour Institute of Tech- nology, who has finished one semester’s work at the same. Such, a student must make known his intention and desire to the club by written application. Upon this application, he is either accepted or rejected by the club voting as a body. The duties of the members consist largely in serving as assistants to the different staff members and upon the performance of these duties they may or may not be recommended for further work. This organization has been functioning since the first of last December and seems to have gained a firm footing in the life of the Institute. Its per- petuation will mean better publications for the student body and they should give it their utmost support. One Hundred Thirty-eight Marhoefer. Parker. Bacot. Hansen. Payne. Mueller, O.

Zwiers The adventures of the Freshmen “Civils” on their way to camp started off with a bang just as soon as they were tucked into the chartered coach at the Union Station. For some reason or other, or no reason at all, Cailles and the porter lunged into a heated argument and it was only with much effort that the two could be induced to quiet down. This lad Cailles is such a pugilistic fellow. Upon the arrival at New Lisbon, the party changed cars. Slowly it crept over the group that there was no longer that thunderous voice identified with a lad named Peterson. He was gone. Searching parties revealed his presence with three native maidens. His stay with these made his departure hasty and he sprained his ankle in the effort to continue on his way to camp. One Hundred Forty-two SUMMER CAMP At Minocqua, it was necessary to change cars again. After a prolonged wait a glimpse of the famous “Grass Line Special”—Charlie’s Iron Horse, was caught. Later inquiries upon the subject of delays uncovered the fact that upon two or three occasions it was necessary to stop and cut the long grass so that the “Horse” might find its way along the rails. One ride was sufficient to satisfy the men who longed for a ride in the engines similar to Stephenson’s “Rocket.” When the party arrived at the State House “Station” Professors W ells and Stevens and Lawson constituted the reception committee. They had already been on the camp grounds for four days and had it in shape for the motley gang. From the “Station” they walked up to “Camp Armour” on Trout Lake, one of the largest lakes in northern Wisconsin. Some of the city “slickers” were soon acquainted with camping life in more or less a rough manner. Among the tramps around the country to get the “Lay of the Land,” they came upon an old Indian Battle Ground where they pro- ceeded to have a battle of their own with the deadly mosquitos. The mosquito netting proved only a small obstacle to the mosquitos who evidently pushed the small members of the tribe thru and waited on the outside for the food to be brought to them. By the second of June regular work started and the whvs and wherefores of the level, chain, transit, plane table, sextants, and “What Not” soon became second nature. The idea of being a surveyor was at first overwhelming, but as time went by the leisure hours were spent in boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, horseshoes, dancing, and baseball. The eight hours spent in the field each day were lightened by the joy of being out in the air and happy. On the eighth of June the camp was visited by Professors Wilcox, Palmer, Libby, Roesch, Krathwohl, Moreton, and Kennedy. Professor and Mrs. Phillips motored to camp and arrived on the same day. Professors Libby and Wilcox wished to demonstrate to Peacock and Johnson the art of tossing the horse’s “iron slipper.” It is sad to relate and quite a reflection upon the skill of the former, but they lost. Professor Tibbals and family, Marhoefer, and Lowe were also visitors in camp. Dancing was an important part in the camp life and in the life of the I ake. The Armour Engineers helped crowd the dance floor of the Trout Lake Pavilion. Thru this medium some hearts were captivated and “business” very often took a camper to town. The Armour Summer Camp Club won the Trout Lake Baseball Cham- pionship. The game with Sayner ended in a 12-4 victory for Armour, with Red Harrower pitching and Samuels as Captain. The second and more im- portant game was played with the Red Arrow Camp. On the Red Arrow Team were men such as Rollie Williams, C. Meller, and Barnum, but in spite of that Samuels and Harrower gave Armour a 5-3 victory. As the six weeks’ vacation was drawing to a close, strange talk of trains. Chicago, and home became noticeable. But when that “Iron Horse” puffed and grunted away from the scenes, they all felt, “I wish it were eight weeks.” One Hundred Forty-five PUBLICATIONS Editorial In behalf of the Junior Class of the Armour Institute of Technology, we present the 1925 Cycle” to you for your approval. The Staff has spared nothing in their efforts to make it a source of pride and a joy of reflection for the Student Body and Faculty. The prime idea in the minds of the Staff has been that the “Cycle” is the book of the Seniors. It is they who will cherish it in after years and refer to it often when they gather together to reminisce. It is they who will hold it sacred and keep it with their most precious belonging, because it shows their last footprints in this sphere of their universe. To this end, all the efforts were expended and the keynote has been “For the Seniors.” Personally, I should like to grasp the hand of every man who has helped me in my work. Work? Yes, but all in all, a pleasure because of those same people. First, my hand should go to the Staff, who have backed me to a man. They stand in no bright light and they receive little mention, but they are the body and backbone. Second, to the Faculty and Student Body, I am deeply indebted. Dean Monin was ever ready to receive and counsel me. Professor Snow has made the first portion of the lx ok what it is. He took his time and labors to procure the pictures and scenes of the Institute and its parts. My third handclasp, should go to Mr. Mathisson of the Standard Engrav- ing Company. To those who have never had such an association in the business world, they may be assured that they will never know anyone who is more helpful and ready to aid and supply time and exertion to the solution of our problems. To those who have had such an association, they know how my heart is in my hand. The fourth should be given to Mr. Niehaus of the Severinghaus Printing Company. Mr. Niehaus is of that type which stops at nothing in the way of aid, comfort and friendly counsel. He followed our whims and fancies but still kept us under his wing so that we realized that, all dreams are not possible but each one has some significance. Mr. Bloom of the DeHaven Studio should receive the fifth handclasp. Upon his own suggestion that the fraternities be run in eomj osites in order to beautify the book, we acted and are deeply indebted to him for that above all other reasons. To all the others whom I remember in my heart, I extend the double hand- clasp of thanks. Douglas R. Stiehl. One Hundred forty-six The 1925 Cycle Douglas It. Stiehl Edward H. Marhoofer.

George Arachovitis has exercised his talents in a variety of ways: writing articles in addition to securing ads. The problems of Circulation have been ably handled by Rowley. Articles have been under the jurisdiction of “Gene’' Odenwaldt and “Stan” Larson. Gene in handling local prospects has visited practically every office building in the loop while trailing the prospect to his lair. Larson has been concerned with the correspondence on articles, and so bulky has his mail become, that he was engaged to three typists this !ast year. Luth has handled a difficult position in a satisfactory manner, both to The Armour Engineer and to the organization as well. Meyer has developed Engineering News from a section featuring abstracts to one containing genuine news on local engineering work. Geiger, as a baseball man, needs no introduction. His experience on the diamond, together with a keen interest in all sports, has particularly qualified him to write Athletics. The outward aspect of a periodical furnishes an index to its contents. Scnescall, in designing the covers and handling the art work, has helped materially to make our readers’ first glimpse a favorable one. Schweitzer, altho burdened with many interests, including an all-consum- ing passion for the more serious features of radio, has been instrumental in securing material for the Alumnus. Whenever the demand has arisen for photographic work, Perry has been at hand with his camera. The more serious pages of the Armour Engineer have been lightened by refreshing touches of Humor contributed by Bishop. We must acknowledge a very real indebtedness to Professor Peebles, not only for the excellent character of alumni news, but also for his inimitable sketches of student life. To Dean Monin we must extend our heart-felt gratitude for the sympa- thetic interest, and sincere aid he has given us at all times. The Armour Engineer Milton F. Adair William H. Sothen Vol. XVI M.

Plocar, President The primary objects of this association are to promote athletics and co- operation between the various activities of the student body. The principles that arc laid down in the constitution are being carried out and the new prob- lems arising are being taken care of in the best possible manner; binding the student body into a more unified group of men. Perhaps the most important discussion during the last two years has been that of the adoption of the Freshman Rule. This discussion was brought about mainly by those men participating in the minor sports. These men encountered difficulties in securing competitive meets with other colleges due to this ruling, which states that no man who is in his first year at the college may compete in the inter-collegiate athletics. By the adoption of this rule, games could be secured with colleges who now have this ruling. This would, obviously, bar all Freshmen from representing the Armour Institute of Tech- nology on the field of competitive sport. It is hoped that this rule will be adopted in the near future and that Armour will be in a position to compete with any college in athletics. Infinite power lies within the reach of the Armour Tech Athletic Asso- ciation, in the creation of a true college spirit, when backed by the entire student Ixxly.

Basketball, Baseball or Track is eligible to membership in the Honor “A” Society. Each man wears a small gold “A” upon which is kept a record of his athletic achieve- ments at the college. Each time a member is awarded a letter in one of these major sports, a small star is engraved upon a certain portion of the “A”. Each part of the “A” is for a certain sport and so at a glance one can tell the athletic record of the member. The organization serves to bind closer together those men who have ably represented the Armour Institute of Technology in athletics. Yj-o-i Two Hundred Twenty ATHLETICS Basketball, 1924-25 .. .Coach .Captain Manager The Armour Institute of Technology Bas- ketball Team, coached by Milton H. Romney and piloted by “Joie” McLaren, came through the season with an average that is somewhat below normal. This was not due, however, to cither of the aforementioned as “Milt” was a remarkable coach and “Joie” could always be relied upon to get at least four baskets in a game. The team has improved a good deal over the teams of a few years previous. Due to the “breaks” of the game the Armour team failed to make a good start. The “j ep” of the men was there, but that so essential feature of the ‘knockout blow” was lacking. It played hard and well but was only able to hold the opponents to a low score. The greatest disappointment of the season was on the Michigan trip. Expecting to lose the St. Mary’s game by a large score, the second team played most of the game and lost by only one basket. Again, after a splendid banquet and a rousing send-off by the peppy Alumni Association at Detroit the boys fought hard and lost to Detroit University by a close score. This game hurt deeply because of the team’s desire to pay the Association with a winning game. SCHEDULE Opponent Score Played at Notre Dame....................13-33 South Bend, December 8th.

The weather was satis- factory at all times and the men were in fine shape. “Chuck” guided and directed the team through this hard season with the generalship of a master. The pitching staff, though it started out fine, seemed to lose strength as the season pro- gressed. The leading pitcher, though smallest of the “nine” was the largest aid to the team. He pitched great ball against the opponents. Everyone knows him, “Sammy” Samuels. Captain-elect Burke startled the fans by his wonderful ability to judge the position of a ball in the outfield. Burke should make a fine man to lead the team in 1925. “Joie” McLaren, Bambino of the Tech. Team, threatened to damage Thirty- third Street property when he took his place at the bat. And at third base, he deftly handled the ball and glove. In the game with Columbia, Armour had the satisfaction of holding them to a 4-3 score, while McCauley, a White Sox recruit, was pitching for Columbia. The hardest game of the year was with Iowa State College. Armour got four runs in the first inning, but due to a gradual weakening of the Armour pitchers, Iowa State College obtained a run in each of the last five innings. In this game, McLaren brought the crowd to its feet by his fielding. With only two men graduating and with an available supply of material in the lower classes. Coach Penn should be able to give Armour Tech, a winning team in 1925. Two Hundred Twenty-six ATHLETICS j -■ -O Samuels. Geiger. Burke. Sweeney (.Mgr.), Penn (Coach), Downes, McLaren.

There is plenty of track material in the college if it will only show itself and make its presence felt. The large majority of the I work of the season was carried on by Captain O. M. Spaid, who by his brilliant work rolled up most of the points for Armour. The meet at Decatur was lost until the Relay began. The Armour men outfought Mil- likin and won the Relay for Armour and this won the meet. Berry, who ran last in the race for Armour, set such a terrible pace that his __________________________ | opponent collapsed fifty yards from the finish line. A good example of the fighting spirit was shown at the Northwestern meet won by Northwestern College at Naperville. Captain Spaid fell over a hurdle while running in the 120 High Hurdles, but managed to regain his feet and win the race, making it in a new record time. He next ran in the 220 Low Hurdles and tripped again, but this time he was unable to finish and had to be bandaged so that he would be able to run in the 220-yard race, in which he set another school record. At the end of that race his shoe was removed and found to be full of blood. The triangular meet between Armour Institute, Y. M. C. A. College, and Lewis Institute at Stagg Field was in reality only a Dual Meet, as Lewis Institute captured only one point in the Mile Run. Armour lost this meet by fifteen points. The 1925 Season promises to be bright with the team captained by L. R. Hoff, a veteran track man. Although the services of Captain Spaid have been lost by graduation, his splendid work and true sportsmanship will be long remembered. 1924 Schedule Opponent Score Played at Y. M. C. A.

In the first Cross-Country Meet with Northwestern College of Naperville, Armour lost 37-68, but nevertheless Coach Phalen was well satisfied with the showing shown by the team. The second meet was the second Tribune Cross-Country Meet held at Washington Park. Two of the Armour team, R. T. Hamlett and R.

Golf ...............Coach Captain and Manager The Spring of 1923 brought out a more impressive argument for Golf than had any previous season. The end of that season, suc- cessful as it was, raised high the hopes and desires for a still greater Golfing record. The team of the spring was composed largely of Freshmen, so that the material of that win- ning outfit will be with Armour for several years and will not only add to its own laurels but still serve as excellent teachers for the new material constantly turning out. Out of five matches, Armour won four and the fifth, being a triangle meet, was lost on points, but won on a low team score. The triangle meet with Columbia College of Du- buque and De Pan College, held at Dubuque, ended with Dc Pau’s garnering nine points to our eight. However our team had low team score and Urban copped the low score medal. The five matches men- tioned above include one played by our second team against Crane Junior College, with a 7-5 win for the Armour men. This was played the same day that the triangular meet at Dubuque was taking place. An interesting item might help Armour appreciate its Golf Team. The team was invited to compete in the Golf Tournament of the Western Inter- State Conference. Only three teams reported, those of Armour Institute, Colum- bia and De Pau Colleges. Opponents were chosen so that two Armour men would play two men from each of the other teams. Captain Dunlap and Schroeder each played a De Pau man, and Miller and Urban each played a Columbia man. This style of play did not show the better team but furnished an interesting style of play, over the hilly and l eautiful links of the Dubuque Country Club. At Dubuque it was understood that the best team score would win the prize, and had the committee abided by its first agreement our team would have won the best team prize. It was at this time that Urban won the low score medal. During the season, out of fifteen possible points. Urban made fourteen and tied one. Neither Captain Dunlap, Urban, nor Miller were defeated in individual matches. The second team was composed of V. J. Peterson (Capt.), Weber, Joseph and Fitzsimmons. They were called upon on short notice to plav Crane Junior College. Peterson and Toseph, who p'aved one and two on the second team, found their opponents a bit strong, but Weber and Fitzsimmons were able to pile up six points against Crane. Those with the single point made by Joseph brought the total to seven. Two Hundred Thirty-eight Golf Prof. Leigh. Berg, Miller.

Ford.................................Captain Clive A. Bischof.............................Manager Tennis at Armour Institute seems to have been given a lively impetus by the acquisition of courts, the stimulus of the fall tournaments, and interest shown in intercollegiate competi- tion. The call for candidates for the 1924 tennis team was issued by Coach Tibbals prior to the outdoor season to enable the boys to use the gymnasium for pre-season conditioning. About twenty men reported and showed up for practice regularly. Of these men captain Harry Ford was the only player remaining from the team of the previous year. Coach Tibbals was presented with quite a problem in selecting the squad, since he had seen only a few of the men in action, and since the only available information was from the unfinished fall tournament of the previous year, and the gymnasium practice. The outdoor season started late because of the inclemency of the weather, and very little time was afforded for practice preliminary to any of the matches. In fact often the men had no practice at all, between matches, the weather was so unkind. In the point of matches won the season was not as successful as the previ- ous one. Nevertheless, the matches were all closely played, many friends were made, and an enviable reputation for sportsmanship and those indefinable qualities that make tennis what it is, was established. From the candidates working out of doors, the squad was selected as follows:—Capt. Ford, Bishop (also manager), Taylor, Grcenlcaf, Peacock, and Castle. The order of play varied considerably through the season, competition for place being keen on account of the fact that most of the men were rather evenly matched. In each match it was the problem of the coach to select the order which seemed best for that day, rather than to attempt to adhere to a constant order. In singles Ford, Peacock. Bishop. Taylor, and Greenleaf carried most of the burden; in doubles Ford and Bishop, Bishop and Taylor, and Peacock and Castle were the teams. With all of these men except Ford competing for the 1925 team, it may be easier to rate them in June than it is now, in January. Tzvo Hundred Forty ! Castle.

The team has been practicing under the direction of Coach E. Wallace McGillivray. The call for candidates was issued in Octo- ber and at that time the election of captain was held. Edward Marhoefer '26 was re-elected Captain for the season, but due to his numerous activities he was forced to resign and a new election was held. Robert Brown '27 was elected. Since the last issue of the “Cycle” the team engaged twice with the Y. M. C. A. College and once with each Lake Forest and Loyola Univer- sity. This year meets have been arranged with Y. M. C. A.

The squad seemed to have the ability and energy but they lacked the experi- ence which is the greatest aid to any wrestler. Out of the four meets in which the team was entered, one was won by Armour. Lack of time for training may account for some of these losses, the squad met only twice a week and then the time for practice was very limited. In spite of that fact the men showed excellent spirit and made use of every minute offered them. The first meet was with Northwestern Uni- versity and was held at the University in Evans- ton. This was merely a practice meet and no score was given. Homer Geymer, the champion of the Institute, was the only member of the team to get a decision and so the score was against the Armour team. After a short while when the team was in better shape, Northwestern University invaded the Armour Camp and won 15-11. The score indicates that the Armour men deserve great credit for coming that close to defeating a team of the Big Ten. The work on the part of all the men was visibly better and the spirit had increased. Those men who got the points for Armour were McHenry, Swanson, Janak, and Price. Armour tried to defeat the old rivals but lost by a score of 21-7 when they met the “Y” College at Armour. Eisenberg obtained a decision and McHenry won by default. A return meet was a victory for the “Y” College to a score of 17-7. Young McHenry garnered the total number of points for Armour by getting a decision and a fall. De Paul travelled to Armour to return beaten by a score of 10-7. Janak and Green won by falls. At the same time the Boxing team met in their one meet of the season and gave De Paul a sound lacing. Cailles was clearly the star of the meet, completely outclassing his man. Captain Hamlett also showed up well. 'Phe Armour team won all of their matches on decisions.

Do you think he will be able to stop gambling in this town?” “Well—I hear he wants to bet $1,000 that he does.” AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH Old Gentlemen: “Who do vou love best?” Little Tot: “Mother.” Old Gent: “Then who?” Little Tot: “Oh, Grandma.” Old Gent: “Well, when does your daddy come in?” Little Tot: “I dunno—I go to bed about eight o’clock.” W ANTED—A cow giving milk, three tons of hay, a lot of chickens and several stoves._______________________________ He told the shy maid of his love, The color left her checks; But on the shoulder of his coat It showed for several weeks. He reasons things out of his head. Thinks in the concrete, so to speak. “My father only weighed four pounds when lie was born.” “Good heavens did he live?” Member of the staff: “Wrell I was elected.” I other: “ Honestly ?” Member: “Well, what difference does that make.” F.

But the best of all. it did appear, I found in the latter part of last year. From Illinois, the first was Red, Then Hal from Beloit, I liked instead. Hank from Nebraska I thought to wed Until to N. U. along came Ted. Les from Chicago was a keen effect, Then Pen from Missouri, I did select, But the best of all I found, by heck! Were the engineers of Armour Tech. —Chicago Shcbc. Two Hundred Fifty-five Kitty: Don’t you feel the call of the irresistible? Tom: Sure, let’s eat ? Should a professor, during a class, be rude enough to interrupt an interesting conversation, you may be holding with a friend, acknowledge the interruption gracefully and show him that you at least can act like a gentleman. Never, under any circumstances fail to assume a knowing look when a pro- fessor is sarcastic. Smile at his wise cracks and laugh uproariously at his funny stories. Engineers are usually well equipped with a vocabulary of swear words. They have a reputation, perhaps second only to that of parrots in young ladies’ seminaries, of being able to curse, swear, and blaspheme in a most classical and lurid manner. This fact was well demonstrated re- cently when one of the hardboiled senior electricals provoked himself to frenzy by short-circuiting a heavy current. His mouth contorted in fierce anger and an expectant audience eagerly awaited the torrent of blasphemy. Then in a harsh guttural, emphasized by a peevish stamp of the foot, he exclaimed, “Oh! For heaven’s sake!” Two Hundred Fifty-six First Black Lady: “Dat baby ob yours am de puffec image of his daddy.” Second Black Lady: “He sho am. He am a regular carbon copy.” Traveler: “Did you go up the Nile?” Hot-air Shooter: “By jove, yes. What a fine view from the summit.” Soph: “I don’t deserve a zero on this paper.” Prof: “You don’t, but I couldn’t give you anything lower.” THE CALCULUS The hours I spent with thee, dear heart, Are as a string of words called cuss. I count them over every one apart, My Calculus! My Calculus! Oh, memories that make me groan and sigh, And thoughts of bitter trial and fuss, I owe them all to thee my friend, My Calculus! My Calculus! Each hour a test, each test a mark To make me sigh for better fate. I study hard and strive at last to learn, To integrate! To integrate! HUMOR ARE. YOuL FOND OF NUTS?

You c’n eat ’em fo’ dev is bo’n, an after dey is dead.” OBJECTIONABLE MAN Father: “Look here my dear, I don’t mind your sitting up late with that young man of yours, but I do object to him taking my morning papers when he goes.” They put us to Grammar School and that is the start Of the great education in which we take part. Then it is High School—Oh! aren’t we old, These memories we promise to cherish as gold. But they are forgotten and new hopes call When we enter college—the best time of all. Then out into the world to be a man, To fight our battles and win if we can. And when at the end, the victory is won, Do you think the world knows where we’re from? Of course they do. There’s no dispute We’re engineers from Armour Institute. —A. McG. WORK THIS BY YOUR MATH. Exultant gloat of the boosters of Louisville: “If eight men started from their re- spective homes in New Orleans, Dallas, Omaha, Minneapolis, Toronto, New York, Charleston, and Jacksonville and traveled by the shortest and quickest routes until they met, they would shake hands six- teen and one-half yards north of the Customs House on Fourth Street, Louis- ville, on a sewer cap midway between a trolley pole and fire plug.” PUNCTUATE THIS AND YOU WIN If Moses was the son of Pharo’s daugh- ter then he was the daughter of Pharo’s son. Chairman at K. K. K. meeting: “. . . and now gentlemen, please be sheeted.” I’M SORRY Car: “Can you sing a Solo?” Uso: “No, I can’t Duet” Abie: “I smell the stock yards.” Ikie: “I always said your nose was long. Why we’re two blocks from there.” HUMOR CARELESS JOHN “Yes,” said a woman in the chair car, as the door swung open and wafted her voice into the smoker, John talks in his sleep every night, and the poor dear is forever calling me by the wrong name!” A GOOD SUBSTITUTE The overdressed, prosperous looking man entered the book store briskly and approached a clerk of Jewish extraction. “Have you got a copy of ‘Who’s Who, and What’s What,’ by Jerome?” “No, sir,” promptly responded the clerk, “but ve got “Who’s He and Vat’s He Got, by Bradstreet!” She: “This is the first time I’ve ever been kissed by a man.” He: “That’s sort of a slam on the rest of them isn’t it?” A LETTER FROM FATHER My Dear Son, Your letter inviting your mother and me up to the big game convinces me that the colleges are not deteriorating. It is almost as good as some I wrote to my father thirty years ago. You al- mo-1 persuade me to come. In recognition of your talent, I enclose a check to cover the seats you would have to buy. Take the girl from Smith, if she can get away—and I never saw one who couldn’t—and have a good time. It may interest you to know that 1 have had an encouraging letter from your dean. He says he may let you stay until Christmas. It pleases me to know you are doing so well. Faithfully, Father. STATISTICS The latest report from Babcock in- forms us that through diligent research, it is found that fifty percent of our parents have been of the masculine type. No foolin’! Soph: “Do you like short skirts?” Frosh: “Why really old man, I don't believe I ever noticed them.” First: “What’s the matter with that hen over there?” Second: “Shell shock, ducks came out of the eggs she was setting on!” Sophomore: “Professor Freud, I am indebted to you for all I know.” Professor Freud: “Don’t mention it. It’s a mere trifle.” “My exam marks are turning out like my war record.” How’s that?” “It seems I’ll never get over-C’s.” She: “Do you ever crib in exams?” He: “Not so you could notice it.” O. A. Ciss: “I think ashtreet car hash- just pasht.” Rocken Rie: What maksh you think sho.” O. A.

I haven’t seen the car for a week.” There is only one better book than this book, and that is John D. Rockefeller’s pocket book. That’s not a Standard joke either. THEY SWALLOW MOST OF IT Helen: How do the players get all that mud off their uniforms?” Ellen: “Silly; that’s what the scrub team is for.” Two Hundred Fifty-nine HUMOR RADIO DEPARTMENT Dear Editor: I heard Havana very distinctly last week. I know it was Havana because: the signal consisted of a pop, followed by a peculiar gurgling sound. Yours truly, M. T. Dome. Dear Editor: understand you are giving a prise for the best loud speaker design. I wish to enter in the contest my wife, Mrs. Jenny Rater. Sincerely yours, John Rater. P. S. I am also getting good speaker volume any time of the night from my twin boys, first and Second Rater. Dear Editor: I am not a radio fan. am merely writing this letter in the interest of my fallen friends, the Radio Bugs. It seems to me these boys are wasting their time waiting for a distant station to announce so they can determine who it is. I sug- gest that all stations install a repeat- ing phonograph before the micro- phone, that continually announces the call letters of the station. This would enable the Bugs to tune rapidly from one station to another without being compelled to listen to the music or whatever they are broadcasting. Yours truly, Benny factor. THE BANQUETEER You go to a banquet, but you know not why. You eat raw oysters that might make you die. You listen to a speaker who bores you to tears, And enter half heartedly into the cheers. When it's time to go home, you heave a glad sigh, And you say you enjoyed it, though You know it’s a lie. HELPFUL HINTS When eating at “the little red barn,” take the precaution of ordering mashed potatoes with your peas. The knives are narrow. Fair One: “I see here, where a man marries a woman for money. You wouldn’t marry me for money, would you V Wise One: “I wouldn’t marry you for all the money in the world.” Editor: “We can’t accept this poem. It isn’t verse at all; merely an escape of gas.” Poet: “Ah, I see; something wrong with the meter.” He failed in English, flunked in chem. They heard him softly hiss: “I’d like to find the man who said, That ignorance is bliss.” First Student: “This is sure fraternity weather.” Second Student: “How Come?” First Student: “Because, I’m always getting the grip.” Why back in my home town, they built the Baptist church in the middle of the golf course for a water hazard. Freshman (to himself while watch- ing a Civil use transit) : “I wonder if he would take my picture too.” ZAT SO? You know it’s girls like you make boys like me like girls like you.
