We hope that this volume may be a tribute to our Alma Mater and to those of her alumni who have car- ried the name of their school to its present position. Al- though our work has been of a serious nature we have not forgotten that life and color must always be associated with a record of college ac- tivities. If in years to come the 1926 CYCLE recalls but one pleasant memory of un- dergraduate days at Armour, then our efforts have not been in vain. A Ti'i - J r V To Mr. J.

The consolidation is a logical and happy solution of the problems confronting the officers of the Institute at the present time, and it marks the beginning of a period of expansion that will make Armour Institute of Technology the foremost engineering school in the West, both in prestige and in physical equipment. The expansion program calls for a joint drive by Armour Institute of Technology and North- western University for the purpose of raising, during the next live years or sooner if possible, a capital fund of ten million dollars. Five millions of this is to be used for the erection of buildings on the Evanston Campus and on the Alexander McKinlock Campus, and five millions is to be used as an endowment fund. The one phase of the matter that gives the keenest pleasure both to the students and to the alumni is that the name “Armour will be forever retained in the name of the school. As Armour College of Engineering and Architecture of North- western University the school will remain as a living memorial to its founder, Mr. Philip I). Armour, and to the members of the Armour Fam- ily who have carried on his great work. Joe Cjeosqu-ftt o O © o £ JX. o The affiliation between Armour Institute and Northwestern University adds another chapter to the short and eventful history of the Institute. Its history is that of an idea, crystallized by the eloquence of Dr. Gunsaulus and brought to a prac- tical realization by the founder, Mr. Philip I). Armour. Dr. Raymond, in his speech at the Mid- winter banquet tells us of the founding of the Institute in these words: It really, therefore, owes its inception to these three people: Mr. Philip I). Armour, who fur- nished the money and created this wonderful op- portunity for the young people of Chicago and the Middle West: Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus. in whose imagination and vision such a school assumed definite form; and Mrs. Julia Beveridge, whose practical ideas instituted in the minds of these unusual men of foresight the basic ideals, or a conception of the foundation upon which the super- structure of this future institution of technology' was to be built.” There have been many changes made since the Institute first opened its doors in 1803 as a Poly- technic school for both sexes, and of the many departments in the original organization the col- lege of engineering alone remains. With the passing of the years the prestige of Armour has 0 O - o o H JL SL o c o © INSTITUTE J, Ogden Armour, Chairman Mrs. Philip D. Armour Philip D. Armour III. Mrs. J.

Smith........................Honorary President Professor R. V. Perry.............................President Professor C. I. Palmer................................First Vice-President Professor H. R. Piialen..............................Second Vice-President Professor Walter Hendricks........................Secretary Professor M. B. Wells.............................Treasurer The Faculty Club is pre-eminently a place where the professors doff the black robe of academic dignity and, in the case of Professor Leigh at least, don the cap and bells. The motto of the club is Tui Es. which, when trans- lated with much freedom, means “Forget it, professor.” It is a place of relaxa- tion; a place where “Life” is more jwpular than “World’s Work” or any other work; where movies are more important than mechanisms; and where the opinion seems to prevail that Jake Schaefer has forgotten more about force and motion than any professor of mechanics ever knew. In the club-rooms all learned discussion of serious subjects is taboo by general consent. If one of the members forgets the unwritten rule, and ventures to hold forth in a pedantic class-room style, he is almost sure to be called to account by the Doubting Thomas of the faculty. Professor Perry. No expanding panegyric can escape being punctured by a penetrating and insistent yes, but—-” from R. V. In the absence of the latter, the self-appointed lecturer will run against a snag in the person of Professor Freud, the eminent Missourian. Impatient of dogmatic assertion, and demanding to be shown. ILF usually quiets the disturbance. Like a group of children playing on a sandy 1 each, the professors in their hours of leisure have found a wonderful conch shell. When held to the ear of the true believer it sings of many things, but the infidel can hear only noise and dissonance. They call it radio, and it furnishes a topic for almost endless discussions in the club-rooms. There are many volunteers in the seminar, some frankly amateur, others pseudo-professional. Through it all Professor Wilcox, voluble as a clam, sits nearby, and Professor Moreton, with a Dismal Dave expression, wonders how the mental processes of presumably intelligent professors can come to such a tatterdemalion condition. When the raging rqdioticians stop for breath, an unbeliever comes forward with this impertinent observation. 'I notice that a sociological investigation has just been completed showing that the insanity curve has taken a marked upward turn in the last few years, and that the curve is almost exactly parallel with that showing the number of radio receiving sets in use. After observing you men today, I am convinced that this is not a case of two unrelated facts brought into juxtaposition bv unhappy coincidence, hut rather that they are related in the intimate association of cause and effect. Gentlemen, I thank you.” Thirty-eight FACULTY The billiard table provides recreation for many of the faculty, but most of the members insist on playing the game in a different manner than was intended by its inventors. Being men of sedentary habits, the professors wish to get as much exercise as possible from the game. So, led by Professor Schommer, they have converted billiards from a game of skill and finesse to one of strength and endurance. As a result the house committee is kept busy renewing the tips on the cues, and the casualties among the ivories are heavy. In this latter observation there is no attempt to appear facetious at the expense of any billiard player, no matter how dumb; the reference is exclusively to the white spheres on the green cloth. One must learn to walk before he can run, yet some of the billiard toddlers arc trying the more difficult forms of the game. Some of the strong arm artists have taken up three cushion caroms, and the crash of the ivories sounds like a head-on collision between a dull student and a new idea. The impact is terrific, but the net result only cracks and bruises. By far the most popular form of billiards as played in the faculty club is 18-2; that is, 18 innings— 2 points. Like a safety-valve for a boiler, a circuit breaker or a fuse for an electric circuit, or a Friday night dance for the students, the faculty club is a safety device for the professors. Always too close to their specialties during recitation and lecture hours, they can forget for a while in the club-rooms. There, unless asked a direct question, a professor will seldom discuss anything within his own field. If he does he is in danger of making a fetish of it, and there is work for the inconoclasts, the doubters, and the Missourians. So the influence of the club is decidedly wholesome. It helps each member to acquire and retain a true intellectual perspective; to view the world, not through the microscope of his own intensive study of a limited field, but in the kaleidoscope of many minds of diverse training and experience.

Keniick Forty-tivo ALUMNI To the Graduating Class of 1926 It is my happy privilege to be permitted to address these words to the young men of Armour who are about to receive their diplomas in this, the most eventful year in the history of the Institute. Always at graduation time has been impressed on the new alumni that as they may succeed or fail, so will the measure of their Alma Mater be taken by the world. That precept will most surely be stressed at the coming Commencement, and at never so oppor- tune a time. The affiliation of the Institute with Northwestern University will have an effect far greater than any of us can realize, and that effect will be controlled to the greatest degree by the character and achievements of the men whom the new Institution will certify as being worthy. And in this period of transi- tion, when both Armour and Northwestern are in the limelight of publicity, the certification of their graduates will receive closer scrutiny by the public than ever before. It is, therefore, necessary to realize that the first duty a man owes to his Alma Mater is to prove to the world his right to the degree he shall have received. We are proud of the high standards set by our alumni, many of whom are conspicuously successful, not only in engineering, but also in finan- cial, industrial and manufacturing fields. These men are looking to you to maintain, or advance, that standard which in itself is one of the many reasons why the impending affiliation was found desirable bv Northwestern University. It must also be borne in mind that the receiving of a diploma does not mean that the bond which has been for four years in the making should be severed, or that the contacts that have grown firm and strong should l c lost. It should indicate rather a “Commencement” of a relationship founded on a mutual understanding and appreciation which should grow broader and deeper with the passing years. There is something stalwart about the very word “Alumnus”—a connota- tion of the strength, uprightness and pride which should characterize those who are given that designation. To be an Alumnus of a great institution of learning is to bear a hall-mark significant of steadfast purpose and success in endeavor, the acceptance of which constitutes an irrevocable pledge that the principles for which it stands shall never be laid aside and that it shall be kept bright and shining, reflecting the good name of the institution which gave it. It is easy to lose sight of these things. In the fierce competition of life our first thoughts must be for ourselves and those dej endent upon us for existence, and to some of us the realization of what our College years have meant, is long in coming. Nevertheless, as we do recognize them and so govern ourselves, we shall ultimately fulfill our obligation to the institution which will have made it possible for us to attain the degree of success that may be ours and to which we shall always owe more than we can ever pay. Armour men of 1926, I bid you a hearty welcome into the Alumni Asso- ciation and I hope you will join with us in standing together through the coming years for Armour, now and always! Allan B. Benedict. Forty-three THE 1906 REUNION TIME FLIES BUT FRIENDSHIP REMAINS” The twentieth anniversary of the class of 1906. Twenty years of successful living, working and aspiring. An advance from boyhood to manhood, now in full powers of mind and body. Past, present, and future linked by bonds of friendship, of hope and courage, and of loyal Armour spirit. Forty-four D tan, Forty-five CLASSES The Class of 1926 The suddenness with which our college days have come to an end seems almost inconceivably abrupt. In the days when we were freshmen it seemed that four years would be a very long siege at the portal of higher education and even as sophomores the day of commencement was not thought of, or if so, ever so lightly. As the time passed however it apparently gained momentum, as does a mountain avalanche. The junior year elapsed with incredible haste and without exaggeration our last and senior year has faded like a dream. It is true that all good things end entirely too soon, but were it not for the adverse side of life we would be very inappreciable towards the brighter side of life. However, the ending of our college days means that we arc ready to try our skill and our luck in the materialization of an achievement. Let our motto be, “We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.” It is very safe to say that each and every one of us will do our bit, the best we can, to uphold the good name of our Alma Mater in the strife for success. The class of ’26 as well as other classes has left its marks on the books of the college which stand out as bold and defying as the yearly marks of red and green on our college campus. We have tried our best to uphold and to further encourage the social and athletic activities of Armour, which are of very great importance as well as our scholastical attainments. It is needless to say that any body of men or any class has among its members certain individuals with outstanding abilities and leadership. It is be- cause of these men that a class can l e carried through with spirit and unifica- tion. So it is that some of the men of our class have left their individual marks on the college books, which will stand forever as made. Such men will always be remembered by those who have dealt with them and by those who have worked and studied with them. Another realization that strikes us is the fact that our achievements have not been wholly acquired through our own efforts, but we owe the greater part of our success to the patient and persistent efforts of all those who have guided us in this great pursuit and thirst for knowledge. To these men we give our whole-hearted thanks in gratitude. And now gentlemen before we turn the page for the class of '27 let us say for ourselves,— The cards have l een dealt, Kach man has his hand: And cards will be played, With an Armour man’s stand. E.

CLASSES Seventy-four J.llf-XllUhlJS CLASSES The Class of 1927 Three eventful years have coursed their way thru the annals of time since this class entered Armour, years of activity which may be looked upon with pride. It is a period of earnest endeavor, which spans the time when we light-heartedly entered upon our freshman year and the time when we look- forward into the brilliant possibilities of our senior year. While we do not believe the Institute has been waiting in breathless suspense for the arrival of our class, or that it will cease to exist after another year, and our class has passed on, we are hoping that the Class of ?27 may leave the Institute with the feeling that it has done its share in upholding the traditions of the school as well as to have added some new ones. When we entered as Freshmen. Armour was an unknown realm of higher learning. Before us were four long, laborious, heart breaking years, towering over us like some mediaeval monster. We had yet to learn that after all college professors are really human, and that calculus is not a breakfast food. How- ever in a remarkably short time the class recovered from the newness of being college students and one entered into the activities of the school with an interest that bore the fruit of success. We started our social career with the Frosh Hand-shake, after which came the Frosh Frolic and our first dance. In athletics our teams were successful in basketball, baseball and track. Then when Junior Week brought forth the annual class scrap we put the finishing touches on our first year by cleaning up the Sophomore class in a hard fought battle. With the coming of our second year we returned from our vacations with much happiness and the avowed determination to master physics and the problem of knowing when Professor Campbell was to give a quiz. It may be of interest to note that most of us did conquer physics. However life would be terribly monotonous if all the mysteries could l)e solved. In our second year of extra-curricular activities we lost none of the impetus gained in our freshman year. This second chapter of our school life was full of many happy events that will live on in the realm of the memories that are dear to all of 11s. Among these will be found a succssful dance, the winning of the Freshman-Sophomore track meet, in golf, both the champion and the runner-up were men of the class, a sophomore won the tennis champion- ship of the school, and our wrestling team added their share of the laurels well earned. Then at last we were welcomed by all as Juniors, the year which to most men proves to be the happiest year of the four. Our informal dance, held in the Florentine Room of the Congress hotel was very well attended, and it is to be said that a large time was had by all. We have yet to experience the ecstasy of the Junior Week with its Circus Day and the Junior Prom before the third part of our history shall close.

Seventy-nine CLASSES Eighty Eighty-one CLASSES Tke Class of 1928 Looking back in retrospection over the past two years, we may well be proud of the record we have established. We entered this great institution with an openness of mind and a steadfast determination to achieve our aim. This spirit of determination still exists. It is characteristic of the efforts of this class of ’28. We have received much and we have given our best in return. During these two pleasant years we have laid a solid foundation for our future success and happiness. The Class of '28 as a Ixxly has heartily supported all activities of our Alma Mater. To extol individual performances would be folly; for every meml er of our class has contributed his share to the fame and glory of Armour. In athletics we unearthed a wealth of material among our classmates. Baseball, basketball, track, tennis, golf, swimming—all came in for an equal share of attention from the members of the class of '28 and each team had its hopes brightened and strengthened by the ability displayed by our classmates. It is noteworthy to recall that this class as freshmen were able to present the institute with its new tennis champion, George Jennings. During our freshman year we reached the pinnacle of our athletic ambitions at that time by defeating the sophomore class in the annual class rush. Under the capable leadership of Clifford Clark we attained a decisive victory. For a short time it appeared as if the members of the opposing class were not in accordance with us as to the outcome but victory for our class was inevitable. To the musical organizations we contributed freely. We may, without attempting to boast, point out that more members of our class have taken an active part in the various musical organizations than any of the other classes. In leadership we lacked nothing. During our Freshman year we were under the able direction of Frank Davis and during the Sophomore year Maurice Tracy proved to be a splendid leader. Socially we have been acclaimed a success. Our first dance at the Opera Club was one of the best of the college year. George Tucker, social chairman, deserves credit for this success. The dance given in the Grand Ballroom of the Da Salle Hotel, will linger long in the memory of those who attended. K. C. Anderson is to 1 c praised for the ability he has shown in arranging this dance. We leave the past with many pleasant memories and look to the future. Two years of our college life has been spent, leaving with us its imprint upon our character, our personality, and our intelligence. Two more years and we shall attain our goal, pass another milestone of our life. As a class we have taken our position in the line of ever changing classes, we have made our impression upon the portals of our Alma Mater. It shall be our undying desire of the next two years to deepen this impression so that all succeeding classes may gaze with awe and admiration at the annals of the class of '28.

We started the year’s schedule by a victory in the annual Freshman-Sophomore track clash. In the Interclass- basketball tournament our first victims were the Juniors—then the Seniors. However, due to a spell of sickness two of our men were unable to play in the deciding game against the Frosh, and we lost. In a replay with the Seniors for the title, “after one of the most hectic battles in the history of the Insti- tute,” we were defeated by the close score of twenty-one to eighteen. It was nip any tuck and a fight all the way through. No one was sure of that game. The final issue to which we point with pride is the fact that in all the varsity athletics, majors and minors, some of the most outstanding men were of the Sophomore class.

We beg to take opporunity now in assuring them that if circumstances continue to turn out as they have been, that this Class of ’29 will be one of which to be extremely proud. What a radical change this college life was to most of us! Nevertheless, we soon adapted ourselves to the surroundings, and settled down in earnest with our analysis of unknown solution and our “sin2a” and very shortly we were advancing with giant strides, even though we knew comparatively little about the subjects. On October 2, an opportunity was afforded us in obtaining the acquain- tances of the upper class-men. This opportunity was given by the Y. M. C. A. in their annual Freshman Handshake. Dean Monin, Mr. Amsbary, and the Sophomore and Junior Basketball teams were the principal performers. The affair was well attended, and we all had our share of doughnuts and apples. Soon Inter-class Baseball opened. Opportunity was now given the upper class-men, at least those who had not already done so, to shout forth their praise and admiration of the Freshman team. The first game was with the Sophomores, who were beaten bv the score of 4 to 1. The yearlings then took up their war clubs and set out to whip the Seniors, and incidentally to win the championship. Undoubtedly the desired result would have been attained had it not suddenly become dark. Then because of the arrival of some untimely cold weather the game was postponed until this Spring. We have several excellent prospects for the Varsity Team, and we are all looking for- ward to a very successful year. The cold moist day of October 16 was chosen for the day of the Freshman-Sophomore Track meet. The Sophomores undoubtedly had the better team and consequently they were the victors. The final score was 72- 23. There is one of our group who deserves special mention. This is Navarro, of whom we arc all proud, for it was he who tied for individual honors with Jillson of the Sophomore Team. Our first class meeting for the election of officers was held on October 20. The meeting was extremely lively and very little trouble was encountered in selecting the men whom we wanted as our officers for the remainder of the year. The votes were many but the voters were few. In Inter-class Basketball we did not do so well. Our hopes rose to great heights when we succeeded in beating the Sophomore team. However at the end we had to be satisfied with third place. Special comment is given here of the fine playing of Phil Cassidy, who not only performed excellently throughout the entire season, but was also given a berth on the All-Star Inter- class Team. Several of our members are striving for positions on the Varsity five. They are J. V. Newstrom, Gedelman, Nelson, Kramer and several others. The Freshman Dance, as we all expected it would l c, was one of the finest of the past season. The reason?—John Schmitt is our social chairman.

Ninety-five CLASSES AcwmiPS Ninety-seven SOCIETY Once in a great while an event happens which apparently pierces the veneer of sophistication and tolerance so common to the upper classman; an event which forces recognition. Such an event was the Inter-Honorary Fra- ternity Dance at the Ambassador Hotel, April twenty-third. The unqualified success of such an affair is reflected in a number of ways. The air of anticipation that a couple brings along may be either destroyed or amplified. Those many, many pairs of scintillating eyes continually re- flected absolute enjoyment. Another criterion of universal appeal was the large body of alumni who returned for just one more taste of the past. 'I'he perpetuation of such an event can only be accomplished through the hard work of a committee of most capable men. For example, C. M. Nelson of Tau Beta Pi; Pi Tau Sigma was represented by 1). R. Stiehl; Chi Epsilon by E. H. Marhoefer; Phi Lambda Upsilon by J. Janota, while E. R. Hubbell represented the illustrious firemen. Those of the Scarab chose X. I). Barfield, and W. E. Downs represented Sphinx. —“Large body of Alumni — Ninety-eight SOCIETY Social Committee Otto S. Peterson, Chairman C. W. Barger M. R. Chambers J. C. Goorskey E. II. Marhoefer Quite true to the past history of the Class of ’26, the Senior Dance was an innovation. After a good deal of thought and investigation, the Social Committee, under the able leadership of Mr. O. S. Peterson, found a new door on which the Armour Institute Seniors might wend their feet. The top floor ballroom of the Furniture Mart was selected for November 20th as the ideal place and time for such a dignified affair as the first dance of the social season of the Armour Tech. The music, furnished by Benson’s Blue Jackets, installed another new feature by playing the “Armour Fight Song.” It was a thrilling sight and sound to see and hear, as the crowded floor swayed and sung to the familiar tune. The club rooms of the Mart were opened to the dancers and the large sofas and lounging chairs served excellently for those who wished to rest for a moment between dances. They were used. Ninety-nine Social Committee L. O. Castle, Chairman K. Crane M. B. Rothrock W. T. Wilson G. O. Vanda veer On the night of December twelfth nineteen hundred and twenty-five, the social chairman, Les Castle, called a most important meeting of the Juniors, inviting also all the other inmates of Armour Tech, and, having assembled a crowd larger than Dean Monin’s Economics class, he wound up Van’s Society Boys, opened the doors of the Florentine Room at the Congress Hotel and the dance was on. As the dancing continued, out on the crowded floor several couples could be seen bobbing up and down in the familiar contortions so peculiar to the Charleston. Despite the lack of a motion for such, the meeting adjourned at twelve- thirty with, “the thinking fellows calling Yellows.” One Hundred Social Committee K. C. Anderson, Chairman E. Higgins L. Marhoefer R. Brumund C. Gustafson A very heated orchestra going into a tantrum, pouring forth music of a very high temperature—wide trousered youths gliding over the polished floor with fair damsels in bright colored dresses—laughter blending with the throbbing notes of the saxophone—that was the Sophomore dance. “Didja get a program?” “Ych. They're sure knockouts, aren’t they.” “Keen orchestra, isn’t it?” “You bet. Joe Rudolph sure can make those ivories do calesthcnics.” Strains of “Home Sweet Home,” sighs and groans, a scramble for the cloak room, and the crowd sadly departed. One Hundred One vffiiESzar The Cydt Ye Committee John J. Schmitt, Chairman E. J. Cremer W. C. Healy O. Pinsof H. N. Spahn (With apologies to Sir Thomas Malory) Then Schmitt, chairman of the social committee, brought before them the plans wherewith they were to enjoy unto themselves a most wondrous evening. Yea, and the plans called for a dance to be given at Ye House of Palmer, on the nite of the twenty-sixth day of February, A. I)., 1926. And when they espied the floor and heard the music, and a little before even, they were merrie. Anon the nite approached and therewith they saw the crowds come in at the hall door, and did doff their hats and their coats and said unto Schmitt: Sir, we have hied right much for to l e with you to nite at this hall where the snappic music shall be departed. Then did Schmitt lift up his head, and say: Ye be welcome, for much have 1 desired your coming that my worrie shall be allayed, that ye dance is a success so as it was promised me long ago. —“Ye dance is a Success”— One Hundred Two m e Junior Prom JT Committee L. O. Castle, Chairman W. T. Wilson K. Crane M. B. Rot brock Excerpts from “Her” Diary May 15th. Dear Diary: Went to the Junior Prom last night with Les. It sure was one grand and glorious afYair. “Les,” you know, is chairman of the Junior Social Committee and when he chose the Belden-Stratford Hotel for the only formal dance of the school year, he surely knew what he was doing. The music by Van was so invigorating and left such an impression on me that I could hardly stop thinking about it and get to sleep for hours after I got home.

Professor Gebhardt appealed to us to make use of our qualities as spokesmen as well as of our ability as engineers. He called to our attention the fact that it was the failing of both the embryo and practicing enginners to withdraw tcK much from active controversies in the business and economic worlds, and thereby remaining in the background when they should be up and doing. He explained our modest recedure from public affairs by showing that we allowed ourselves too little time for this type of work; and by the fact that when it comes time for us to talk, we are held back by a sense of inadequacy due. partly, to the underating of our ability in coping with the appalling forces of Nature. Remembering these points and continuing along with the usual policy of the Society, we have carried out our work so as to help ourselves as much as possible. A number of interesting discussions were presented by Messrs. Bowman, Ottc. Wettlev, Sanders, Schroeder, Lamm, Cambell and Petersen on technical subjects which were not only instructive but were also of extreme pleasure to hear. Following up the idea of acquainting ourselves with prominent men in the profession and the plan of improving ourselves in the art of presenting topics logically and correctly, we were invited, through the courtesy of Pro- fessor Gebhardt, to attend the Power Show at the Furniture Mart. The Seniors were excused from classes to attend in a body many of the meetings, where they heard some of the best known engineers in America. The one social function of the year was our annual smoker which was held at the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity House on April the eighth. Due to the efforts of Mr. Sanders and his committee and the cooperation on the part of the Professors, a great time was had that evening. We consider the affair to have been one of the best smokers held by our Society in many years.

One Hundred Nine ENGINEERING SOCIETIES The Armour Electrical Engineering Society, as a branch of the mother institution. The American Institute of Electrical Engineers, has been a leading society ever since its creation here at school. This institution, like the factor, electricity, upon which it is based, has shown itself to contain an unlimited resource of power. Like the great dynamos which, driven by means of the rivers’ torrents, convert a natural supply of energy into boundless electrical energy, so have we, working silently, steadily, with crude, plastic, unmolded material developed strength and character in men. The Society has been able to carry out its purpose by means of first, allowing its members to come in contact with prominent men now active in the profession, with the opportunity of hearing these men talk upon subjects of the day, and second, by expecting the members of the Society to prepare and present papers of common interest to the Society as a whole. During the past year we have had several speakers who have delivered lectures to our branch. These speakers were carefully selected, being men who were known to be well qualified to speak upon their respective subjects. Among these men were the following: Mr. W. Bailey, of the Business Research Corporation of Chicago, who spoke upon “Investigations and Reports.” This lecture gave us an insight on how reports of a technical nature arc presented to a committee. Mr. R. Y. Hagen of the Illinois Bell Telephone Company, in a joint meet- ing with the Radio Association, talked to us upon the interesting subject of “Wired Wireless.” Dr. John F. McNamara, the medical advisor of the Armour Institute of Technology, brought to our minds methods of first aid in his lecture, “Artificial Resuscitation and First Aid.” In addition to the technical development of the members, the social devel- opment has not been overlooked. The social program consisted of two smokers, one in the fall, managed by the Senior Electricals, and the second in the spring, under the tutelage of the Juniors—both of which were conquests. However, of all the affairs of the year, no small credit is due the Pro- fessors of The Electrical Department for their help in making them all into successes, and we wish to express our thanks to them for the interest and help that they have so willingly given One Hundred Ten ENGINEERING SOCIETIES Armour Branck of tke American Institute of Electrical Engineers H.

One Hundred Eleven ENGINEERING SOCIETIES The course pursued by the Western Society of Engineers through the past year has been one which was planned by the Board of Management at the opening of its term of office. Feeling that the spirit of cooperation in all the activities of the Society was necessary for a successful year, the assistance of all the members was requested. As a result, men from the four classes volunteered their services in the drive for increased membership. Men of artistic tastes and abilities offered to make notices which, by the way, we consider to have been the most attractive posted. Much valuable aid was given by men in the interest of our smokers. All in all, the officers and members feel that the harmonious relations existing have resulted in a most prosperous year. The program of the Society is essentially that of having prominent engi- neers address the members at regular meetings. Twelve such meetings were arranged, and valuable information and ideas have been brought to the mem- bers. Along with these pleasant gatherings, our social program has contained one or two very enjoyable smokers. Under the direction of Mr. Chatroop a smoker was held at the Triangle which was acclaimed by all to be a real success. Mr. DeBourge sang some delightful songs and a trio, composed of Messrs. V. J. Zukowski, H. M. Zukowski, and W. E. Vevurka, rendered several operatic selections. Beside this entertainment, a play, “What-not,” was presented. We wish to state that the “Armour Stock Company” is to be complimented upon the originality and entertainment which it offered in its first production. With the year drawing to a close, the Society feels that mistakes have been made and that opportunities have been overlooked; but those carrying on may profit by them and by doing so, develop this growing organization.

One Hundred Thirteen ENGINEERING SOCIETIES Beta Chapter of the American institute of Chemical Engineers enjoyed a most successful season during the year 1925-1926. The year was marked by a formidable array of speakers. The meetings were well attended, and con- siderable interest was evidenced on the part of the lower classmen. One of the features inaugurated by the present administration was the joint dinner and meeting of the Chicago and Armour Chapters of the Institute. This was held on November 18, 1925, at the Ideal Tea Room. An admirable dinner was followed by a short business session and then by an excellent address delivered by Mr. F. M. deBeers, '05, of the Sun-Maid Raisin Growers’ Association. His talk was exceedingly unusual since it gave his audience an inside glimpse of the logical development of a new chemical engineering industry—the utilization of raisin culls in the manufacture of syrup. At the close of the meeting Dr. F. I.. Dunlap, President of the Chicago Chapter, expressed a hope that this meeting would set a precedent for such meetings in the future. Among the other meetings held during the year may he noted the following: Department Meeting, September 24. 1925. Election of Officers, October 1, 1925. Prof. Harry McCormack, of Armour Institute: “Phenol-Condensation Products,” October 22, 1925. Joint meeting with the . S. E.—Mr. A. E. Gorman: “Chicago’s Municipal Water Supply,” December 3, 1925. Joint meeting with the engineering societies—Mr. Homer Niesz, Manager of the Department of Industrial Relations. Commonwealth Edison Company: “Human Engineering,” December 17, 1925. Mr. Welte, U. S.

Otic Hundred Fifteen ENGINEERING SOCIETIES The Fire Protection Engineering Society is one of the largest and most v active societies at Armour. The field of Fire Protection Engineering is still ! somewhat new and unique, but it is gaining rapidly in popularity. The large membership in itself indicates the enthusiasm and interest shown by the under- graduate body. The society had the. opportunity of hearing some very splendid speakers during the past year. Mr. Brailsford of the Underwriters Laboratory gave us a very interesting talk upon the subject of burglary prevention devices; Dr. Campbell of the Armour faculty discussed a rather timely issue, “Life Insurance Actuary. Other speakers of concern were: Chief McAuliff of the Fire Insurance Patrol. Mr. Tuttle of the Insurance Company of North America. Mr. McCollough of the Lightning Rod Department of The Under- writer’s Laboratories, Mr. J. R. Wilson, chief engineer of Marsh and Mc- Lennan. and Mr. George Brown, a prominent fire insurance broker.

One Hundred Seventeen ENGINEERING SOCIETIES With the Art Institute, as a whole, for a background, with its halls, its pictures, its statues, its works of art. and its quiet studio life, which, at times, has been disregarded, there has come a feeling that all these glories have played an immense role in our future lives. We have benefited through all these luxuries, through the contact with the students of more specialized art. and through the various lectures and entertainments given at the Institute. A most interesting series of lectures was given by Lorado Taft upon the “History of Sculpture,” which, to those who attended, was of extreme benefit. Now. it so happened that in the fall of 1925, many strangers were found wandering about the base of our stately temple of Architecture. When any was asked his mission, he replied that he sought admission to the great hall to learn of the mysteries and peculiarities of our profession. Many came from far and wide; and after having been brought before Him on high, but forty, alone, were judged to be worthy of entrance to our society. Once within the vast enclosure, they soon became acquainted with the habits and oddities of the great race of Architects, and gradually they molded themselves into the fellowship of their brother students. Such is the “Atelier,” the Armour Architectural Society, functioning not only for the above purpose of bringing the students into closer relations, but also to bring the students into personal contact with men of high standing in the profession. The annual initiation and banquet was held in the lower sanctum of the temple on December tenth. Upon this occasion, the new men were formally welcomed into the department bv Professor Reed, and into the profession at large by Mr. C. H. Hammond, ’01, who stressed the value of the college- trained man in the profession. These and many more similar good times are passed, and now the Seniors who, after four years of delightful work, are about to leave the temple doors, make way for other aspiring strangers, just as those described above seeking increased erudition. So the cycle goes; but within it, is the aim of the Society to make the present quadrant better than the one before, and to do all within its power to promote a Greater Armour.

One Hundred Nineteen ENGINEERING SOCIETIES Another cycle has whirled past in the life of the Armour Radio Associa- tion; one that has proven successful both in the lecture room and in that enormous field, which some are prone to label ether waves. Besides both of these institutions, a new feature has been added; that of conducting inspection trips to the broadcasting stations of the city. This new “wrinkle” has proven quite popular and interesting to the members of the association and indeed suggests a large field to l e developed in the life of the organization. Perhaps, these trips may be extended beyond the broadcasting station and into the large manufacturing establishments which offer many educational possibilities. Among the celebrated lecturers that we have enjoyed hearing this year, have been three or four of our alumni who are now prominent in Radio activities. Mr. Harper was first to speak and gave an insight on what he calls “Canned Coils”; Mr. Marco talked upon the subject of “Radio Frequency Amplification”; and Mr. Stryker of the Fansteel Products, who is not only an alumnus, but also a former member of our faculty, spoke about “Rectifiers and ‘IP Battery Eliminators.” Mr. Hagen and our own Professor Wilcox also favored us with interesting lectures; for which we are very grateful. 9NV, the voice of the Armour Institute on the Ether Lanes, has advanced by leaps and bounds, so to speak, into prominence as a first class pioneer 40 meter relay station. The A. R. R. L. rewarded the efforts of the operators by an Official Relay Station Certificate. Mr. Lawrence Pfeiler was elected chief operator and has done his best to have 9NY heard on Mars, since all earthly records have been attained. This statement may seem nonsensical; but if one delves into the “Calls Heard” section of Q. S. T., lie will find that 9NV has been heard in Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii. Argentine, Brazil. Spain, Italy. Holland, England, France, Canada, and all districts of the United States. The transmitting apparatus now in service at the station is comprised of two one-quarter kilowatt tubes, operating in parallel with an input of 1200 watts, in a Coupled Hartley circuit. During the maiden year, that is 1925, 557 messages were handled. At present, the “gang” consists of twelve operators who don’t care if they sacrifice a little sleep just as long as 9NV can keep on the air. The officers and the “gang” cordially invite the faculty and student body to visit the station at any time during the day. Here there is always somebody to show visitors about and answer all the questions anyone wishes to ask. Also, if there is anyone in the Institute that has a message for any part of the world and wishes to send it via radio, all he has to do is deposit it in the station or give it to one of the members of the organization, and we will be glad to forward it free of charge.

One Hundred Twcnty-txvo One Hundred Twenty-three CLUBS Armour Tech Musical Clubs Directors Dr. Daniel Protheroe;..........................Glee Club Professor Harold R. Piialen....................Orchestra The Musical Clubs started live years ago as a co-ordinated group and now are the most popular clubs at Armour Institute of Technology. This success- ful achievement is due to the Armour Tech Athletic Association, Professor Phalen, and to Mr. Douglas of the class of ’24. The Association financed the club. Professor Phalen directed the organization, and Mr. Douglas organized the band. That is what has put the life into the clubs; for, surely, every student will agree that the Orchestra and the Band could hardly be bettered. This past year has seen a change in pace. Dr. Protheroe has taken over the management of the Glee Club and also, all the Clubs have shown an increase in membership. Although the Glee Club gave no concerts during the first semester, the three Clubs, together, arc diligently preparing for the Home concert, and we assure an excellent evening for those who attend. Some of the other concerts presented were: Collegiate Club, Given by the Orchestra. Armour Alumni Banquet, Given by the Band. Western Society of Engineers, Given bv the Orchestra.

Organized in February, 1923, by Bill Douglas with originally fifteen students, it has grown so that now it enjoys a membership of thirty-two members. It might be interesting to note that of the original band there are only three members now in the organization. The Band is now under the direction of George Rezac, a young accom- plished musician who had been persuaded by Professor Phalen to take over the work. It can be said that George has made the Band popular with the student Ixxly by the many features which he injects into the music played by the Band. Since this is one of the best balanced bands that we have had in the last four years, and since George has such ability, it is readily understood why the Band has made the progress it has during the past year as a popular Musical organization. The public appearances of the Band have been mainly at assemblies, pep meetings, athletic events and the Home Concert. According to the established custom, each of these occasions was met with much violent applause, especially if it was desirable to prolong an assembly into another hour, turned loose by a generous audience. The Band played at the Mid-Winter Banquet of the Armour Tech Alumni Association where it was greeted with some little applause. The Band also made its annual trip with the basketball team on March fifth, when the Lake Forest game was played. On this trip there were in the Gymnasium of Lake Forest about one hundred and twenty-live rooters from Armour Tech, includ- ing the official rooter, the Band. Although the game was lost to Lake Forest, we had the opportunity of seeing the greatest basketball team making its best fight ever witnessed by Armourites. After the game a dance was held at the Y. V. C. A. at Lake Forest in order to top off the evening. All reported a wonderful trip. The Band also played at several of the basketball games at home; and it intends to do the same with the coming home baseball games, and to take part in Circus Day activities. Another of the Band’s public appearances will be at the Annual Home-Concert to be held on April twenty-first. George Rezac has been spending much time upon new music entirely to give the audience a treat. According to statistics sixty-six percent of the trombone section and one hundred percent of the bass sections are to be given walking papers by the Institute. However, even if the bulk of the band will have to get along without their efforts next year, it is believed that George Rezac will be able to build an even greater organization.

As usual violins were in abundance; but this year several more clarinets and cornets appeared to lend added tone and quality to the music. The Orchestra alternated with the Band in furnishing music for the assemblies and we will all agree that Pro- fessor Phalen has developed a club of which we are all proud. Asmus, Sturm, Horn.

The Club felt a great loss when his other duties made it necessary for him to relinquish the directorship of the Glee Club. The Institute, however, was fortunate in obtaining the services of Dr. Daniel Prothcroc. Armour did not enter the Contest at Orchestra Hall because Dr. Protheroe docs not believe in the matter of adjudication; but in the past spring months we consider that we have done wonders with the Glee Club.

One Hunded Twenty-nine CLUBS Young Men’s Christian Association The Freshman Handshake! What a “wow”! On October second at eight in the evening over two hundred fellows— Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshman—met in the Assembly Hall for a general good time and a chance for the upperclass men to welcome the Freshman to their new school. The very first of the series of delights on our program was the best heart to heart talk on “Character” that we had ever heard. This was given to us by no other person than our friend and counselor, Dean Monin. Then, Mr. Foster talked of the advantages of a Y. M. C. A. membership; Mr. Amsbary, that poet laureate of humor and jest, entertained us with some of his very, own, spicy poems; and Grover Melby and Albert Waehner, both, gave short addresses. And the orchestra, too! Compared with the syncopation that these boys turned out, Paul Ash—but we’re not conceited. You should have heard them—Chidester, Orn, Tucker, Fearing, Goetz and Waehner. After some refreshments and a snappy basketball game, which the Juniors captured from the Sophomores by the score of twelve to seven, we all moved toward the exit well satisfied with that enjoyable evening. Time buzzed by. Interesting meetings and lively, good times made the old year pass quickly into the past and the new year came upon the horizon. On January twenty-sixth, an election of officers for the ensuing year was held. At this meeting Paul Enke was elected President: while Lawrence Efner and William Vevurka were chosen for the offices of Vice-President and Secretary, respectively. The very next day, these men along with Albert Waehner, who is serving his second year as the Executive Secretary of this branch, were installed into office by the Board of Management. This year finds the Hyde Park Branch offering new and unusual advan- tages to the members of the Y. M. C. A. here at school. We wish you to know this fact and hope you will take advantage of the opportunity which is offered. Come over and become acquainted with the boys and be one of us!

One Hundred Thirty-one CLUBS Press Club Since the creation, last year, of the Press Club due to the efforts of Sphinx, the Honorary Literary Fraternity, a number of interesting events have occurred in the literary branch of society. Upon the founding of this new organization the method of training and handling the candidates for the “Cycle’' and the “Engineer” underwent a complete change. After admitting Freshmen and Sophomores to its fold, the Press Club put this raw material under the supervision of men then serving upon both staffs, taking care that each man was placed in the department for which he felt he was best suited. Here, then, was the first step in the making for better staffs in the future. Nineteen twenty-six, though, has been THE year. Perhaps the greatest stride the club has made has been to put into operation, the “Election and Pro- gression” plan of organization of the “Cycle” Staff. By this plan, men work on the staff from their Sophomore to their Senior year. It is a method employed by most colleges whereby only the fittest remain on the staff and gradually climb higher in position, until the top is reached in the Senior year. A few difficulties have been encountered in the installation of this plan, but they have been met and the organization continues stronger than before. Those members of Sphinx who brought the Press Club into existence have backed it at every turn and have made it the “breeding place” for prepared men for the publications. As can easily be seen, this year has proven the value of the Press Club. Not only has the Club grown in prestige, but also has it grown in size. If we are to believe that means anything whatsoever, then surely, it signifies that more and more men are becoming interested in the publications of the school. Our only hope now is that the years to follow will ever increase the power that the Press Club holds at the present time. One Hundred Thirty-lwo CLUBS Press Club 0 fficers Douglas R.

One Hundred Thirty-three SUMMER CAMP One Hundred Thirty-four SB� £GKI3T2ZK£Sr3 One Hundred Thirty-five Summer Camp of 1925 Jj ' Wal, wal, wal. Lookec who’s here! Glad tu see yu! Gee, it shore is good yu come up; er else we’d never ’ud come home, by cracky! These here Northern woods is great and so is camp. There ain’t nothin’ like it. Yeh, we been up here ’bout five weeks and I sup’ose we got ter go back next week; but they is goin’ tu have tu drag us back. Changed some sence yu seen me last, hain’t I ? Why, when 1 come up here, I talked jest like you city fellers. Now, there ain’t no use of me trying, ’cause 1 caint. I’ve jest plumb forgot it all. Wal, some of us come up here in cars; whiles most of us come up in the train. When the train pulled into town, we thought we’d busted in on a Injun raid. Injun tom-toms, weird flute noises, hoarse or horse cries, screechin’s of the massacred, and all was goin’ on. Right there, we wished we’d brought our guns, ’cause we’d been warned. But we had tu get off’n that train; and it seemed as it were up to me to be the first lx)’ off, seeing as how I claimed tu come from the south end of Chicago, where men are—(I guess I’d better whisper that one; er else I will get stabbed.) Anyhows, I stepped off the train; but I sorta slipped off’n the step. And as I done it, I give one loud gasp, ’cause I really thought they’d plunked me. It weren’t nothin’ at all; but it were something tu look at. Thar was George Rezac, Alan Tully, Bob Brummund, John Koeper—and hold on. Frank Davis, and a bunch intertwining like. . . nl0re aj] playin’ away on something or other like “Old Harry.” “Them is our Injuns,” I cried; but it don’t do no good, ’cause I gets plenty of razzin’. There's the reason they calls me “Big Hearted Si.” We made up with them thar “Injuns”; and, right off the bat, we jumps on the train that regularly goes through Arkansas—up to Stale House. There was no more outbreaks; so we got to camp in great shape, ain’t satisfied until we gets filled with food. You never et sech cooking. Mrs. Wallace is ’bout the best cook ’round these here parts. Talk about a taxidermis fer stuffin’ animals—even that there dog of Frank Davis’, Psi, weren’t half the size. Now, he’s a dam’ good setter. Wal, that first week weren’t so bad. It rained a couple of days and got blazin’ hot t’other ones. By Decoration Day we was ready for some more fun; and we shore got it. Everyone knows that Decoration Day was made for speeches and parades. Wal, we had our speech right after dinner, rendered by Eugene Bacot, the orator, which turned out tu be about the best I ever heard. But when our parade come off, no one was there to see it. ’Course no one wanted tu see it; er could have if they’d wanted to. all because—but that comes later. But onct there, we . . .a dam’ good setter. . . One Hundred Thirty-six SUMMER CAMP ’Long about late in the afternoon, most of the fellers went to Trout Lake tu dance; but seein’ as how my legs is long and act sorta like a grape vine— sorta intertwining like—1 never went along. They all went over in a truck; and after a big dance, ’bout two o’clock in the morning, our parade com- menced. It was jest a little bad weather for a parade scnce it was rainin’; but the fellows was game. They kept coinin’ in two and threes until ’bout all but six had fallen into bed. Those six was still trottin’ along the railroad ties earnin’ as much water as their clothes would hold. But THEY had a good time and so did 1. As old man Aesop hath said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” The next day turned out to be Sunday with lemon pie and the Perfcssors. Perfessor and Mrs. Leigh come up along with Perfessors Palmer, Tibbais, Swineford, Wilcox, Krathwohl, Roesch and their better halves. George Rezac and his mighty collcjut band turned a trick or two, followin’ which came the climax of the carnival.—the horeshoe contest. With horseshoes donated by Mrs. Tibbais, Leigh and Libby, Perfessor Leigh, the far famed and mighty Goliath, and our God, Natella, the David of Camp Armour, went at it hammer and tongs, sword and slingshot, with the horseshoes. As the Bibical Goliath, Perfessor Leigh fell. Natella said, “‘Strength’ will do it”; while Perfessor Leigh cried for vengance. Thereupon. Natella won the prix de lemon pic; but disaster,—the pic went down other channels. But golly! Look at that there sun over yonder. Jest like a big, red, rubber ball—and them clouds erround it— makes yu wisht’ sit here forever if the sun wouldn’t move. You never will hear the doings. Pm dang sorry yu missed all the great times and scch a peachy summer. Yu missed a big canoe trip that Marhoefer, Page, Tesch, Ogden, and them fellers look down the Manitowish. But what with Page tippin’ the canoe and hisself into the water jest when he was tellin’ the boys how EXPERIENCED men got into a canoe; a little rain; and bacon grease as a steady diet, the l)oys deserved the pic they won from the cook as a bet they’d stay out the exter day. It was more’n likely them as got the first pic and they was achein’ for another. Wal, there’s that dang bell for supper. You’d better come in an eat with us. Oh! Yeh! There’s one more thing I’d better say: Perfessor Wells says Camp’s better’n ever and that he doesn’t expect that there’ll be any arrests this year—for any reason. Don’cha think this pie’s great? . .the pie went down other channels. . . One Hundred Thirty-seven SUMMER CAMP One Hundred Thirty-eight PUBLICATIONS Sail's Janak Urban. Burkhardt. Lamm, ('amp.

GROSGUTII E. C. JORGENSEN One Hundred Forty-one EDITORIAL We can claim no great originality for the material in this volume of The Cycle, indeed it would l e useless to do so, since in its very nature the year book must always repeat itself. We have tried, nevertheless, to present this material in a fresh and pleasing form, and to make the book one that the Faculty, the Alumni, and the Students may well be proud of. In a sense it is the Seniors’ book since it marks the close of their college life, and we have bent every effort toward making it truly representative of their last year at Armour Institute. Our part in the making of The 1926 Cycle is finished and we present it to you for your approval. There are few things of so much value to a person as the knowledge that others are working with him toward a common goal, others who share equally with him the triumphs, the problems, and the disappointments of the work. The Staff of The 1926 Cycle have stood shoulder to shoulder as a single unit; they have done their share of the work silently and efficiently. To me it has been a very real pleasure to l e associated with such a group of men. To Dean Monin, for his patience in hearing our problems and for his friendly counsel, we owe a great debt of gratitude. Wc are also greatly indebted to President Raymond, to Mr. Allison, and to the Faculty of Armour Institute of Technology, for the help and encourage- ment they have given us. It is with pleasure that we give special mention to Mr. Wettley who, with the help of Miss Lillian Lahti, assembled and proofread the data for the Senior Section. If our connection with the Cycle had given us nothing more than the opportunity to meet and to know Mr. Mathisson of the Standard Engraving Company wc would have been amply repaid for our efforts. “Matty” has worked right with us; he has helped us out of many difficulties, and it is to him that we are indebted for many of the ideas used in The 1926 Cycle. We look upon “Matty” as one of the Staff. Mr. Niehaus, of the Sevcringhaus Printing Company, has given us many valuable suggestions and has given us advice upon the practicability of many of our ideas. He, too, is one of us. Miss Mabel Sykes, the photographer for The Cycle, has been patient and sympathetic with our plans for The Cycle, and it is to her that the credit for the fine composites in the Fraternity Section must be given. As a whole our work on The Cycle has been more of a pleasure than a burden, and we finish it with a deep feeling of good will for all those persons who have added their efforts to ours in the building of The 1926 Cycle. Maurus T. Goetz. One Hundred Forty-tivo PUBLICATIONS TKe 1926 Cycle Maurus T. Goetz Wilton F. Kuffel THE CYCLE The affiliation between The Armour Institute of Technology and North- western University removes many obstacles from the path of progress of the Institute, but it also brings into existence a number of minor problems. One of these is the future of the publications at Armour, a problem that is of special interest to all of those men who have worked on The Cycle or The Armour Engineer. Since most the colleges of the large universities publish technical magazines, it is very probable that The Armour Engineer will con- tinue as the technical publication of The Armour College of Engineering and Architecture of Northwestern University. The case of Armour’s year book, however, is different, and it is inevitable that with the final merging of the two institutions The Cycle will fade into the past. It is only natural that we of the present Cycle Staff, with all of our predecessors, should regret the passing of The Cycle, yet we realize that such is the price of progress and we hope that our successors will make the few closing volumes of The Cycle the finest that human effort can produce. One Hundcd Forty-three PUBLICATIONS EDITORIAL It is a dangerous business to ask an editor for a retrospect near the end of his term. It is nearly useless to expect from him an intelligible survey of progress made during the year. He will admit almost anything. ITe will braz- enly avow that most of the material he has published has no justification for appearing in print anywhere. He will unblushingly confess that his journal cannot compete in format with a Borzoi volume. For the critics he has only a wry smile. He can match every editorial sin they have ferreted out with a dozen more heinous crimes: indeed, on the score of criticism his conversation is confined almost exclusively to an exchange of confidences with himself. Worse yet, he is quite likely to wax sentimental over the beauties of Goudy Bold, or drop a tear upon the editorial which was composed at the cost of so much sweat, yet which caused no perceptible dent in the cosmos. Retrospec- tion is a dangerous business in May; it is much better undertaken in November. To those who have been closely associated with the paper, the greatest pleasure afforded by The Armour Engineer has been the privilege of observing its growth. The predecessors of Volume XVII left an orderly inheritance. As a result of constant and well-directed effort by the pioneers who first went over the trail, the magazine has reached a stage in its growth where change is slow and sometimes nearly imperceptible to the idle spectator. The enjoyment of participation in the growth of The Armour Engineer has been heightened by the fineness of the steps by which the development of the magazine has pro- ceeded. '1'he end of the year is a time for the payment of debts. The inanimate Armour Engineer comes to life here to express its debt of thanks to the men on the staff, who have made its publication possible. And magazine and staff unite in the payment of one more installment of our obligation to our good friends, Professor Peebles and Dean Monin, who, by their advice and encour- agement, have made the difficult stretches of the road smoother and the whole of the journey more pleasant.

It preceded the next oldest fraternity by three years and received its charter from the Grand Chapter in 1898. Alpha Epsilon Chapter is the twenty-fourth chapter of a national fraternity reaching from coast to coast, located in all of the prominent colleges, all of the Big Ten, and consisting of thirty-three chapters. The parent chapter was founded in 1850 at the University of Pennsylvania. Hence Phi Kappa Sigma is the oldest fraternity at the Armour Institute of Technology. Alpha Epsilon Chapter feels quite proud of its record at the Institute and of the men who compose and have carried the badge of the fraternity and the standard of Armour Institute. Men who have accomplished great things in the business world and who have helped to make the Armour Institute a synonym for well trained engineers have been members of Alpha Epsilon Chapter. Roy M. Henderson, the only alumnus elected to the Board of Trus- tees, is a Phi Kap. Allan B. Benedict, the President of the Armour Institute Alumni Association, is another of the brothers. Many others of prominence in business circles have passed through the ranks and who are now active alumni of both Alpha Epsilon Chapter and of the Alma Mater. What the future may hold for Alpha Epsilon no one may say, but what- ever may occur the same indomitable spirit will prevail and Alpha Epsilon of Phi Kappa Sigma will not die but live a new life glorifying forever the Armour Institute of Technology.

Chiles Gerald G. Fisher Jack Gardner Walter C. Healy Donald D. Joseph son James M. Kernan SOCIAL- FRATERNITIES Gamma Beta of Delta Tau Delta Gamma Beta chapter of Delta Tau Delta grew from a club that was formed by seven men of the class of 1903. In February, 1900, one of the fellows suggested that the benefits of a friendship as existed among these seven classmates, would be greater, were they an organized group. The result of this suggestion was the formation of the Monolith Club. Two months later another classmate was invited to become a member of the club. His acceptance and subsequent presence had a good influence on the growth of the organization, as he had been a member of a preparatory school fraternity and was able to give the club members a clear understanding of the fundamentals of college fraternities. On April 16, 1900, the name of the club was changed to the Consonant Club. Between this time and the following fall the names of seven new mem- bers were added to the roster of the club. After a meeting, which Dean Alder- son, of the Institute, attended and offered his advice and full cooperation, one of the flats of the Armour estate was obtained as a home for the club, and it was decided to petition a national fraternity. Since two of the new members were also members of Delta Tau Delta and several of the other fellows had friends in that fraternity, it was decided to petition Delta Tau Delta. The petition was granted and on May 8, 1901, Gamma Beta chapter of Delta Tau Delta was installed at Armour. Cummings Peacock Castle, Hansel, Larson, Mcl«aren. Prehensen, Crane. Davis. Sturm, Phelps.

FRATERNITIES Alpha Gamma of Theta XI In the year 1909, severa! men attending the Armour Institute of Tech- nology banded themselves together in a social brotherhood and received recog- nition from the school as the Omega Lambda local Fraternity. This was the first local fraternity at Armour. Much thought and investigation was required in the choice of a national fraternity and after great consideration, a petition was sent to the Theta Xi Fraternity. Consequently, the Omega Lambda local fraternity received a charter as the Alpha Gamma chapter of the Theta Xi fraternity in the early part of the year of 1922. From this time to the present Theta Xi has enjoyed great success at Armour. An Alumni Association was formed and through their efforts the house at 3305 Michigan Blvd., was purchased as a permanent home for the fraternity. The past school year has been the greatest year in the history of Theta Xi at Armour. The beginning of the year was marked by the usual rushing activities. Several rush dances were held at the chapter house and the rushies were also entertained at a theatre party and a smoker at the house. The next social event on the calendar was the I follow e’en dance. This is the event of the season each year at the Theta Xi house. Initiation of our pledges was next on the calendar and after they had suffered the trials and tribulations of the occasion, a dance was given in honor of them as our newly made brothers. And now comes the greatest event of all, the Theta Xi convention. We had the honor of entertaining representatives from all of our chapters at the sixty- second annual convention of the fraternity which was held at the Blackstor.e Hotel, the 19th and 20th of February. This was an occasion never to be forgotten in the minds of Theta Xi men. Knickerbocker, .Mullican, I«ong. Senescall Ogden, Daniels, Horn. Barger. YV. Patterson. Page, Alber Greene.

Horras C. L. Shabino One Hundred Sixty-two SOCIAL FRATERNITIES Sigma Kappa Delta The Sigma Kappa Delta Fraternity was founded September 20, 1912, and it is the fourth oldest fraternity at Armour. The prime motive of the organiza- tion was to give less attention to social life and devote itself more earnestly to school activities and scholarship. This idea has been carefully preserved, though it has not been allowed to suppress the observation of such social duties as every fraternity naturally incurrs. Sigma Kappa Delta is composed of men from every class, every depart- ment and from very nearly every student activity of the school. These activities included class organizations, engineering societies, publications, musical clubs, Y. M. C. A., athletics, honorary fraternities and Junior Week activities. They are all entirely independent of our actual studies and represent that side of our lives which is, in a way, really the most important one of all. In addition to our class standing it is our participation in these things and the way in which we enter into them, that shows our full worth as a fraternity to the school. In the field of athletics Sigma Kappa Delta has held her own and has a record of contributing as many athletes as any other fraternity. At the present time members hold seven of the fourteen school track records. In the six times that the Inter-Fraternity Relay has been a feature of Circus Day we have had the honor of winning five consecutive times; setting a relay record equal to that of the school. Taken all in all, the Sigma Kaps are' proud of what they have accomplished since their organization, and are intent on doing as well in the future. Dante’s hellish statement, “Nothing to look backward to with pride, nothing to look forward to with hope,” will never apply to any man who has attended Armour Tech under the guiding hand of Sigma Kappa Delta.

FRATERNITIES Gamma of Phi Pi Phi The history of Gamma of Phi Pi Phi is a record of local chapters of two fraternities, namely, Beta Phi and Phi Pi Phi, and of the assimilation of the former by the latter. In March, 1913, Gamma of Beta Phi was installed on the Armour campus and as a unit of a national organization, flourished for some eight years. However, at this period of its existence, the national organization crumbled and Gamma Chapter became a local star in the fraternity firmament. Plans for the nationalization of the local chapter were at once under way, but as such affiliations cannot be consummated in a short space of time, an interval of two years elapsed before the plans assumed any definite form. The whole scheme came to a climax on November 24, 1923 when Beta Phi was installed as Gamma of Phi Pi Phi. Since this date the fraternity has not stood still. As Beta Phi, we had interest in athletics and all school activities. In Gamma of Phi Pi Phi this interest has l een maintained with usury by inculcating in each new man the spirit of unity so that in every project the fraternity acts as one man.

Pensoff One Hundred Seventy SOCIAL FRATERNITIES Rho Delta Rho The Rho Delta Rho Fraternity was first organized by several students at the Armour Institute of Technology and received its State Charter in 1919. During the latter part of 1919, application was made to the Executive Council at Armour Institute of Technology for official recognition, with the result that a Charter was granted in February 1920. Before this time members had formed a strong bond of friendship and co-operation, which is the essential foundation for a college fraternity. It is therefore self-evident that the already existing fraternity spirit at the time of official recognition was truly a firm starting foundation. All the members became greatly enthused and set to work with such zeal and earnestness that greater strength came, not only in an increased membership, but also in a stronger bond of friendship which was forming. The active and alumni chapter membership of 15 and 50 respectively, show that our record of progress is truly one to be proud of. It is our greatest desire to not only maintain our present strides of progress, but to keep up that spirit of friendship, love and co-operation which is truly the outstanding feature of a college fraternity.

In the spring of 1922, the Ohr fraternity petitioned and was accepted as the twenty-third interna- tional chapter of the Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity. We began our social year of 1925-26 with an informal dance, at the Parkway I lotel, September 12, 1925, which marked the beginning of a new year and the end of a delightful summer spent in town and at our summer lodge, at Channel Lake. January brought to an end the first semester of the college year, and dur- ing this month we were busy with our studies. On February 15, at the Covenant Club, we held a wonderful reunion banquet at which many of the old, old ‘'grads” mingled with us reminiscing of their college days. On March 20 at the Sovereign Hotel we had one of the finest times of the year in the form of a formal dinner dance. During the first days of April everybody began to get out the old suitcase in preparation of the pilgrimage to Ann Arbor for the Convention. Those who were fortunate enough to go will never forget the week end at Ann Arbor and Detroit. Plans for our annual spring dance arc being completed. The affair promises to be a brilliant climax to a most sucessful year.

The men were: C. W. Carlson ’23, George Goedhart ’23, Robert S. Mayo '23, Benjamin F. Mor- rison ’22, Harold V. Monday ’23, and L. T. Smith ’23. These men felt that the ideals of fellowship which they sought could be more perfectly realized and congeniality and genuine friendship made more essential by forming a local fraternity. At the time of its organization the name given this society was “Scroll and Triangle.” Considerable time was spent mv its founders in studying the conditions at the Armour Institute of Technology and the fraternities in general so that “Scroll and Triangle” would be established as a successful fraternity. By January of the year 1922 much progress had been made and seven more students from the junior and senior classes were taken into the organization and a formal petition for recognition as a local fraternity was prepared for the executive council of the Armour Institute of Technolog)'. This petition was accepted and the Scroll and Triangle established itself upon the campus as a local fraternity in February. 1922. In the latter part of 1922, the Scroll and Triangle local fraternity i eti- tioned Triangle, a national fraternity of engineers, for a chapter at the Armour Institute of Technology. In May of 1923 at the fourteenth annual convention of Triangle, the petition was accepted and on May 26. 1923, the Scroll and Triangle local fraternity was installed as the Armour Chapter of Triangle.

In January, 1923, a club was organized at Armour under the leadership of Christian Meyers. This club was called the Sodales Club and was recog- nized by the Institute. Negotiations were entered into with the Mu Omega Beta Local Fraternity at the University of Illinois fcr the formation of a new national organization. Thus in August, 1924, the Beta Psi National Fraternity came into existence. The Alpha Chapter was located at Illinois University and the Beta Chapter at Armour. Since that time the fraternity has been expanding and strengthening itself. The early part of the year another chapter was added to the roll of the fra- ternity. This chapter was called the Delta Alpha Chapter and located at the University of Cornell. The Beta Chapter social activities have l ccn a delight to all of the brothers in the chapter. During the Christmas Holidays the Beta Chapter in conjunc- tion with the Alumni Chapter in Chicago gave a dance at the Aurora Country Club. Many of the members of the Alpha Chapter were present. An enjoy- able evening was had by all, to say the least. With the close of the school year comes a parting time for those who live outside the city. Fraternity friendships based on brotherly interests and feeling arc, for a time, discontinued but not stopped. These friendships last and are caught up again with the opening of the succeeding semester. By putting forth the best effort that is possible the members of the Beta Psi Fraternity have gained a standing that is satisfactory and pleasing.

It was here that Dave Mandel first presented the idea of organizing the activities of these fellows who had found such great mutuality of interests and purposes, and who had quite naturally gravitated into a select and separate group. These students felt the need for an organization where the members were to meet on a basis of brotherly understanding, companionship, and mutual helpfulness. The group, therefore, organized itself into a lx dy whose aim it was to fulfill these desires and to uphold the ideals of the institution to which its members belonged. This new organization was given the name “UMEN”—a word borrowed from the ancient Hebrew language. In its meaning, “BUILDER,” it symbolized concisely the aspiration of this group of engineering students. In order to establish official connections with the school about which ;ts existence revolved, the Umen applied to the administration for recognition. On April 17th, 1922, it received its charter as a club, 'flic club was reorgan- ized as a fraternity and its charter was granted in October, 1924. The past year was one of even greater importance in the history of the Fraternity. In compliance with a suggestion from the Office of the Dean, the name was changed from Umen to the Greek-Letter appellation, KAPPA DELTA TAU. The new name is as symbolic of the progress and aspirations of the fraternity as the old one was of the club. Eight new members were admitted into the ranks with all the ceremonies and attendant agonies of the initiation, which were, however, effaced by the gorgeousness of the Initiation Banquet. The school year and our social calendar came to a successful close with the Dinner-Dance at the Morrison Hotel.

HONORARY FRATERNITIES Beta of Illinois Tau Beta Pi is an honorary association which was founded at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in June, 1885, under the auspices of Professor E. H. Williams, Jr. Its purpose is to confer distinction upon those students who have maintained a high grade of scholarship and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering students of the institutions in which its chapters are located. There are now forty-five active chapters in the engineering colleges in the United States, and there are also nine active alumni sections in the larger cities. The chapter at Armour Institute was founded in 1906 by a number of the members of the senior class of that year. This is the fourteenth chapter established and is the only chapter in Chicago. Students are elected to Tau Beta Pi from the highest one-eighth of the Junior class, scholastically, in the spring, and in the fall those men in the upper quarters of the Senior class together with the Junior having the highest average of his class, become eligible. The worthiness of a candidate for Tau Beta Pi is determined by the qualities of character, loyalty, personality, leader- ship, and college activity. A chapter may also confer the key upon its alumni and students of earlier days in analogy to a similar custom in Phi Beta Kappa. Associate membership may be offered to graduates of engineering colleges where there is no chapter, provided the recipient fulfilled the regular eligibility requirements as a student. Honorary membership may also be conferred upon prominent engineers who are specially interested in engineering education. Johnson Jones Keating, Stlehl, Prebensen, Nelson. McLaren, Wettley.

The fraternity known as “Pi Tau Sigma” has only had a short existence at the Armour Institute of Technology, yet in that short time it promises to hold an equal footing with the oldest of the honorary fraternities. Delta chapter is the fifth of the six chapters of the rapidly expanding national fraternity, and sat in at the Annual Convention last November at the University of Illinois. This was the first convention the Armour Chapter was able to attend and the chapter found that the spirit of the National Fraternity is something unequalled by any other such organization. The spirit of comradeship and mutual welfare is predominant in every one of the National Officers. Pi Tau Sigma is bound to grow to heights attained by such other honoraries as Eta Kappa Xu, Sigma Xi, and even Tau Beta Pi.

Waehner HONORARY FRATERNITIES Delta of Eta Kappa Nu In September, 1925, nine Eta Kappa Xu men returned to school after the arduous duties of the summer vacation. W ithin a few days they were deep in the mysteries of “A.C.,” each determined to hit it harder than ever and make 1925-26 a banner year in the history of Delta Chapter. Many events long to be remembered occurred in the weeks following. Among them were two joint meetings with the Chicago Alumni Chapter at the Electric Club. The first and perhaps the most important, was the Inquisition held on November 10th. Some surprising information on Electrical Engineering, not gleaned from Pender or Langsdorf, came to light during the discussion. To show us that the Engineer’s life is not all work alone, the Chicago Alumni Chapter invited us to their Dinner Dance held on the 8th of December. I'lie National Convention, held at Purdue University on November 6th and 7th. was of special interest to Armour men. 'I'lie national president, A. A. Hofgren, Delta ’18, presided; R. S. Kenrick and G. A. Kelley of the Class of ’22 represented the Chicago Alumni Chapter; and V. J. Patterson represented Delta Chapter. Pat returned with a couple of Pittsburgh Jumping Beans and talcs of a wonderful time. Eta Kappa Xu provided the electrical effects at the Intcr-Honorary- Fraternity Dance, and needless to say, everybody had a good time. 'I'lie twelve members of the Class of ’26 will always look back on the year 1925-26 as one of the most enjoyable at Armour. Wilson Patterson Hansen, LeCren, Johnson, Prcbcnsen, Dean.

Since that time the chapter has steadily grown both in size and activity. The twofold purpose of the society, as indicated in the constitution, is “the promotion of high scholarship and original investigation in all branches of pure and applied chemistry.” Membership in the group is sufficient stimulus for the first, while due to the lack of facilities for graduate work, the chapter has been obliged to seek elsewhere to recognize meritorious research. Last year, Omicron Chapter inaugurated a policy which it is hoped will be carried out from year to year in the future. Reference is made to the election of honorary members. Only eminently successful and nationally prominent men in chemistry are eligible. Dr. James F. Norris, of Boston Tech, President of the American Chemical Society for the last two years, was honored by Omicron Chapter, on his western trip last spring. At that time, a resolution was adopted to the effect that at least one honorary member be elected each year, quality being desired rather than quantity. Preparations are now practically complete for the election of another honorary member—a Chicagoan, whose services have been valuable in pro- moting public health. An initiation banquet will be held sometime in May, at which time his name will be announced. Next fall, the National Convention of Phi Lambda Upsilon will be held in Philade'phia, in conjunction with the national meeting of the American Chem- ical Society. Ideas for future activities will be exchanged at that time. When these are combined with the ambitious program already planned for next season the inevitable result will he another live year.

The Armour Chapter was chartered in 1923. The purpose of the fraternity is to honor those civil engineering students who deserve recognition for their accomplishments at college. Members are chosen from the upper third of the Junior and Senior class. The requisites for membership are scholarship, sociability, practicability and character. In the past year Chi Epsilon has had the great pleasure of iniating Dean Monin as an honorary member. The initiation banquet was held at the Allerton Club on May 26, 1925. On December 17, a banquet was held at the Palmer House. At this banquet three members of the Senior Class were admitted to the fraternity. During the past year the Active Members have held many meetings which will always bring to them pleasant memories of good fellowship. Marhoefer Jones Kornaeker.

Since then this department has continued to perform its public service of preparing young men for the work of preserving life and property from destruction. Because of the obvious recognition of the fact that the community needs the fire protection engineer this department has grown to considerable size and prominence. In 1922 it was decided that men of like tastes and interests should be banded together into a society for common work. This was done by the establishment of Salamander as an honorary fraternity. The object of this fraternity is to foster high scholarship and original investigation in all branches of fire pro- tection engineering. Two members of the department, with the co-operation of Professor Finnegan of the Faculty, took the initial steps. The charter membership included seven men who came together for the purj oses which Salamander was established and now upholds. Salamander, ever since its origin, has been seeking to recognize high scho- lastic ability and has been instilling the idea of fire prevention in all of its members. It brings to the department a medium for the expression of all ideas pertaining to fire prevention.

Jorgenson Two Hundred Two HONORARY FRATERNITIES Edfou Temple of Scarab Unlike most college fraternities the word “Scarab” is of Egyptian origin. History tells us that Architecture as an art started back in the ancient days of that far famed country. It is for this reason that such a title as “Scarab” was chosen. The emblem of the organization is the image of an Egyptian beetle, known as a Scarab, mounted on a black background. The fraternity was founded at the University of Illinois in 1909. The seventeen years of its existence have been filled with colorful interest and surprising advancement. To be known as a brother in Scarab is to be recog- nized as one who has shown talent in the field of Architecture. One of the most commendable activities of Scarab is the added stimulus the organization lends to the study of design, through the medium of numerous competitions which it sponsors throughout the school year. Another function worthy of comment is the “traveling exhibit” which has become a time honored custom. Each temple in the organization sends representative drawings to the supreme council, where they are judged and arranged for the tour. After this they arc sent to each of the temples where they are placed on exhibit. This furnishes the medium for first hand comparison of the quality of work each school is doing. Edfou temple’s exhibit compared very favorably in the exhibit with the other temples in the exhibit which has just closed. .Scarab St. Claire, McCurray, Bacci, K.

KuiTel Two Hundred Tour HONORARY FRATERNITIES Sphinx Sphinx, in a manner true to its name, has quietly and in an impressive way accomplished several things in the past year that have materially affected great changes in the publications. First, an entirely new system of staff management has been adopted for the Cycle. Under the old system new staffs were elected every year and those who had any knowledge of the work were through just when their knowledge had been acquired. With the new system the men are gradually promoted to the major positions and by the time they hold these positions they are fully capable. Second, the Press Club has been put firmly on its feet and now holds an undeniable position in the life of the Institute. It has been a constant aid to the publications and during the future will be an even greater factor in the growth of the publications at Armour. Third, a system similar to that used on the Cycle is now being formulated for the Armour Engineer and will probably do as much to forward that pub- lication. The members of Sphinx are men who have toiled on the publications and cannot rest until they have heli ed to further the publications in some manner. Downes, Hubbell Peterson, Barger. Davidson.

Two Hundred .Vine ATHLETICS The Armour Tech Athletic Association and Student Union In the three years prior to 1922, the need for some sort of an organization which would bring the students, faculty, and alumni closer together, and which would organize and thereby strengthen the activities of the college, arose. This need which had long been felt to a lesser degree, was gradually making itself obvious to the entire body of people interested in the welfare of the Institute. The climax came in the year 1922, when some of the students with more vision than their fellows began to exchange ideas and views, and to take steps towards organization. As a result of the ideas these men stirred up, Harold Munday was appointed with six other men, to constitute the representative body of the students in the forming of what was to prove to be an organization of greatest benefit to the school. The time for the organization of such an institution as the Athletic Asso- ciation was most propitious. An enthusiastic student body, a sympathetic faculty, a live Alumni Club, and a President who would back them to the limit, all were waiting for the launching of just such a scheme as was proposed, that unity might lead to strength. The avowed objects of this organization were manifold, and covered many fields. It intended to foster a unified Armour school spirit; to organize and systematize inter-class and inter-fraternity relations; to establish new and main- tain the old class and school customs and traditions; to make certain the place for athletics at Armour: in short, to serve as mediator between the faculty and student body, between the student and the Professor. Although its name was Athletic Association, it took under its wing and lent help to all activities. The musical clubs, the literary clubs, and the teams representing Armour in the various sports—all owe an account to the A. T. A. A. The question of control was settled by vesting the management of its affairs in what is known as the Board of Athletic Control. This Board at present includes three faculty members, an Executive Council of three, and six student representatives, one from each class, one from the musical clubs and one from the Athletic Association. Then there arc two managers, one of whom handles inter-class contests and one of whom takes care of inter- fraternity relations. Although the Association and Student Union are still young, much has been accomplished bv their efforts. There is a greater interest being taken in all the activities, the teams are going on longer trips, are playing bigger teams some of whose reputations are feared all over the middle west. There is keener competition in the inter-class and fraternity sports. And besides this we have more tangible evidence of the work of the organization. Under its direction the school tennis courts were made. Its hand chooses the cheer leaders who are to organize the rooting and so on. If the past accomplishments are any indication of what we may look for from A. T. A. A. in days to come, its future is full of hope and promise. Two Hundred Ten BASKET BALL £ Two Hundred Eleven ATHLETICS Basketball 1925-1926 Coach—Milton II. Romney Captain—S. Joseph McLaren, Jr. Manager—Lyman J. Lowden The Tech Basketball team finished the season about even as far as the number of games won and lost are concerned, but the students think of them as a successful team. In addition to the regular teams played several practice games were played with teams about the city which always ended with Armour on the long end of the score. Milt Romney again coached the team while Joie McLaren served his second season as captain. All of the home games were played at the Armory, some half mile from school, where the students turned out in larger numbers than at any previous year. A few of the high spots in the season were the Notre Dame game in which the team gave Notre Dame one their hardest games of the year, the Detroit game which we won this year and the defeat of St. Mary’s on their own floor. It was the first time in nine years that this has happened. 'fhe team will lose McLaren, Downes. Danziger and several others by the graduation route, but will have a great number of underclassmen back to try for positions next year.

McLaren '26—Captain and Forward. Joie, as he is known to everyone, playing his last year at Armour proved to lie the bulwark of the offense. This is his fourth year with the team, and eacli year he has been awarded an “A.” He might be called an ideal player; a fast floor man and also cool headed, an accurate basket shooter, a wonderful dribbler and pi voter. Joie’s eleven baskets in the St. Mary’s game will long be remembered. Not alone was he liked by his teammates, but he also gained the admiration of the entire student body. Goodbye and good luck to you Joie old boy. A. Danziger ’26—Forward. Danny also is playing his last year with the team. A few minor injuries kept him out of a few games early in the season, but this only seemed to inject tight into him for he ended the season with a flash. Danny’s success lies in the fact that he has perfect control over himself. He played a wonder- ful floor game, and was exceptionally skilled in follow-up shots. We are sorry to see Danny leave us, but must thank him for what he has done. Kufi-el 27—Guard. “Scud” broke into a regular berth early in the season and held it. He piays a hard fast game; we have seen Scud have three fouls early in the game, and still finish up the game playing as hard as ever. Scud seemed to take charge of the team on de- fense; he was constantly calling his team- mates back for defense, and pointing out any loose players. Scud will be back next year and should be in his prime. Two Hundred Fourteen ATHLETICS Augustixk '27—Forward and Guard. “Augie” was used at both the forward and guard positions this season. Many times he was sent in to inject tight into the team. While playing guard he broke up many a play, and took the ball down the floor to register many a marker. Angie was all over the floor, but also back in the guard position when needed. He will l e back next year and should be going fine. V. Downes '26—Forward and Center. ‘ Billie” our little forward, very fast, a whirlwind we might say, seemed to be of untiring physical strength. He did not try for the team except in his last year, but. Oh Boy, some player. Billie has that factor that pertains to all real athletes, that of keeping his head. The best of luck to you, old top. Hku.gren '28—Center. “Red they call him. for short, and it must be that he has red hair. He played the pivot position with due credit; and seemed to have mastered the art of placing the tip-off, which resulted in many a basket. Red’s specialty was his one handed hook shot from the side of the floor, at which he had become cjuite efficient. Red will be back next year and should be in rare form. Ttvo Hundred Fifteen ATHLETICS Eisen berg '27—Forwa rd. “Ju” played his first year with the team and got into several of the important games. Mis fast floor work and his eye for the bas- ket will give him a big advantage in the choice of a regular berth next year. Cramer '29—Guard. Although he did not get a letter. Cramer played a fine game as sub back guard. Much is expected of him next year. G. Morgan '27—Guard. “Si” is the nickname of our little guard. He is a good defensive player, one of the kind that is constantly sneaking down the floor and looping in a basket. Si had a great year, because he gave everything he had dur- ing the entire game. Si was a fine dribbler, and the main cog in taking the ball down the floor. He will be back next year and should mean a lot to the team. Two Hundred Sixteen EASE BALL Two Hundred Seventeen Baseball 1925 Coach—W. C. Krafft Captain—Lawrence K. Burke Manager—Joseph M. Kovarick The Baseball team coached by Bill Krafft came thru a fairly good season last year. The men could not seem to get together the first few games, but after they hit their stride they delivered the victories. It should be mentioned at this point that three scheduled games which Tech would undoubtedly have won had to be called off on account of weather conditions. One of the high lights of the year was the remarkable comeback of the team after the Columbia game at Dubuque in which they lost. When the return game was played here two days later Armour won in an 11 inning game. One of the great handicaps of the team is the lack of good pitchers. It does seem regrettable that pitchers do not seem to care for Engineering as a profession. However we’ll struggle along thru the 1926 season and try and show the old fight as usual. The team will miss several members who are now graduates. SCHEDULE OF GAMES April 14 DeKalb Normal 13 Armour 0 At A. I. T. April 16 Michigan Aggies 9 Armour 0 At A. I. T.

When a hit hall was sent in his direction all knew it had fallen in a well. His ready smile and fight- ing personality went a long way toward keeping up the spirit of the team. He was among the leading hitters and his absence will be keenly felt. Downes ’26—Captain-elect, Second base. How many times has Billie stopped a steal at home or caught some one napping off first base? He is a player of great ability with real baseball brains. It was due to this and his quick thinking which resulted in several seemingly impossible putouts. Un- der his leadership the team should give a good account of itself during the season 1926. Ruzicn ’25—Pitcher. John was the heavy duty man for the team and he surely hurled a mean sphere. His absence leaves a big gap to be filled by some worthy aspirant for honors. Plocar ’26—Catcher. Chuck is one of the fastest playing men on the team. He would often beat the runner to first on an infield play. It was a rare sight to see a runner steal second with Chuck behind the plate. Sickness kept him off the field for a part of the season, but when he did get going the team felt his presence. 7 wo 11 undred Twenty ATHLETICS Hoffer '27—Catcher. Vic is another player of prep school fame. This is his second season of the Tech, squad and he is here to stay. He was shifted to the plate this year and filled his job very satisfactorily. Hubex ’26—Pitcher. Carl did his stuff on the mound for Armour. As well as using his arm he used his head which will account for the vic- tories he turned in. Geiger ’25—Shortstop. Karl took care of the hot ones between second and third in a manner worthy of any college player. His batting average was among the best of the team. Sen ox ne ’26—Centcrfield. Schonne verified the claims of the Archi- tects that their course really belonged in school. The only safe place for a ball towards center field was over the fence when he was in the game. A heavy hitter and a fine base runner makes him a great asset to the team. Tivo Hundred Twenty-one Koyarick ’25—Manager. Desmond 25 received a letter and Larkin '25. narrower '27, and Ncrman '28 received minor letters for good work on the squad. Hei.lgren ’28—First base. The redhead came to Tech, with quite a reputation from prep school and he certainly has lived up to it. A born baseball player he took charge of the sack in a splendid manner. He also batted the ball in a pleas- ing (to us) manner. McLaren ’26—Third base. Joie is an all-around athlete of ability. His playing of the hot corner was consistent, very few hit and run plays being success- fully pulled with Joie on deck. His speed helped him break into the scoring column many times. Tzvo Hundred Tzvenly-lzvo TRACK Two Hundred Twenty-three ATHLETICS Track I Coach—Prof. H. R. Phalen Captain—Lcland R. Hoff Manager—John M. Shoemaker Track enjoyed a very successful season al Armour during the year 1925. Three meets were held with other colleges during the year. Of these Armour won two and lost the third to Y College by 1 1 3 points. There were twenty-four men who contributed j oints to Ar- mour’s total and to eleven of this number were awarded major letters. Three school records were broken in the meets. The Sophomores were victorious in the annual meet with the Frosh Oct. 16, 1925, winning easily with a score of 72 to 23. Coach Phalen brought out a very fine idea for developing interest in track activities for the entire school, a series of events were run off during the outdoor season for the purpose of determining the school champion. The men competing were divided into Varsity and Novice classes, and three medals given to each class. Ten events were in each class with 1000 points given for a performance equal to the school record. The following men won the medals: y arsit y Novice ITamlett .........’28 8395.7 Gold medal Gaylord .........’25 5794.4 Long .............’27 6639.3 Silver medal Jillson..........’28 5457.8 Robinson .........’26 6273.2 Bronze medal Peterson ........’26 5178.6 Schedule of Meets Crane 62 1 2 Armour 68 1 2 Ogden Field ....April 23 Y College 66 1 6 Armour 64 5 6 Y M C A Field...May 2 St. Viators 30 2 3 Armour 100 1 3 Ogden Field ........May 8 159 1 3 233 2 3 INDOOR TRACK 1925 AND 1926 The biggest event of the Indoor Track season was the 8th Annual Illinois Relay Carnival at Urbana on March 3, 1925. Armour was represented by a Two Mile Medley team and Mile Quartet. The Medley team by placing fourth and winning bronze medals have the honor to be the first team from Armour to place in the Relays. The team was Payne, halfmiler; Robinson and Long, quar- termilers and Ball, miler. The Mile team was Owens, Samuelson, Hoff and Hamlett. In addition to these Tracy ran in the special 300 yard race. Armour had entries in both the I. A. C. meet at the Coliseum and the Central A. A. U. meet at the Broadway Armory. Armour was represented at the 9th Illinois Relays by Long, Payne, Robin- son. Deiwert. Tracy, Samuelson and Owens, but was not strong enough to place this year. In the I. A. C. meet Robinson won 2nd place in the 600 yard run and Navarro a third in the High Jump. In this meet the school record was raised to 5 ft. 10 in., where it stands as l oth an indoor and outdoor record. Two Hundred Twenty-four ATHLETICS Shoemaker. Mgr.; Payne. Ball. Plocar, Long. Hammer.

Long led the Armour men in scoring this year and was a member of the 111. Relay medal team. Bob Hamlett won the gold medals in the All-Around and Circus Day Pentathlon and was second high point man of the squad. Chuck Plocar was Armour’s weight man. At the V College meet he hung up a new record in the Discus Throw replacing the old school record made in 1915. Payne ran the distances this year. On the Illinois Relay medal team he ran the half mile. In the St. Viators meet he and Ball broke the record made in 1907 for 880 yards. Tzi'o Hundred Tiuctity-six ATHLETICS Bob Ball, the school miler and member of the Illinois Relay medal team. His work in the mile was the biggest part in winning the medals. Captain Hoff suffered from sickne s nearly all season. In spite of this he ran on all the relay teams and a few of the sprint races. Red Owens was one of the school's quar- ter milers and ran on the winning relay team in each meet. Hammer set a new school record in the high jump at the St. Viators meet. He also took points in the broad jump and shot put during the year. Two Hundred Twenty-seven ATHLETICS Doc Baird represented Tech, in the jumps. Altho he ran into some stiff compe- tition all year he never lacked fight and did his best. Gaylord, a senior, in his first year of track twice broke the javelin record. His last attempt at the St. Viators meet is now the school record. Red Robinson, a quarter miler on the Illinois Relay medal team and a distance runner the rest of the time, did his stuff in a commendable manner. McHenry was a distance man. His prin- cipal race was the two mile. Two Hundred Twenty-eight ATHLETICS Results of Meets This year Armour won the Relay event in all three meets.

Two Hundred Thirty MINOR SPORTS Two Hundred Thirty-one ATHLETICS Coach—Prof. C. W. Leigh Captain—J. P. Dunlap Manager—J. P. Dunlap Golf 1925 The Golf team enjoyed an unusually successful season in 1925. Out of the seven matches played live were won by the Armour team. It is worth mentioning that Miller and Urban did not lose a single foursome during the entire season. The men on the golf team arc under a greater handicap than most teams as they must go long distances to practice and play, but in spite of this a wonderful team was turned out by Coach Leigh. The team consisted of Captain Dunlap, Miller, Urban, Berg and Johnson, all of whom were awarded letters. The 1926 team will be Miller, Urban, Bates and Peterson. Home and home matches were played with all schools except Notre Dame, which will come to Armour this year. 'Phis first score is the meet away from home and the second score the meet at Armour.

Norton Tennis at Armour during the 1925 season had a very successful year. The tennis team was the most consistent winner and the best from the stand- point of the victories turned in that Armour had in all sports. They ended their season without being beaten which is an accomplishment when a list of their opponents is known. To the tennis team also goes the credit for being the most courteous to opponents and the best sports, not a single complaint was ever heard of their conduct in any match. It was rather a disappointment to the team the way the students supported them and it is hoped that a .little interest will be shown this season. Coach Tibbals has compiled a ranking of the men in the following order: Singles Doubles 1 Jennings, '28. 1 Peacock. 2 Bishop, ’25. Capt.

Allaire As usual it was very difficult to stage many Cross Country meets this year. Most of the colleges about this part of the country devote their falls to foot- ball. 'l'he annual pre-season practice meet was held with LaGrangc there in October. Captain Payne won this race but LaGrange won the meet. In cross country it is customary for the first man in to count 1 point, the second 2 points, etc. Thus the lowest scoring team wins. On November 1 Armour went to Lake Forest to attend a Triangular meet with Lake Forest and Northwestern College. The score was North- western 30, Lake Forest 42, and Armour 50. On November 19 Armour won a close meet from Y. M. C. A. College by a score of 27 to 28. Although that was the last school meet of the year, Robinson and Pittelkow entered the Tribune meet and both won medals for running. The squad will lose Robinson, McHenry and Coffey by graduation, but expects to put out a strong team in 1926. Payne was re-elected Captain for the coming year. The team consisted of Captain Payne, Deiwert, Robinson. McHenry, Pit- telkow, Long. Samuelson, Schuler, Herzon, Coffey and Grochowski. Two Hundred Thirty-six ATHLETICS Cross Country Allaire.

Payne The W restling and Boxing teams did not enjoy as successful a year as some of the other sports at Armour, but in all the meets a great deal of the old Armour fight was present. Coach Smith was again back as an instructor in both spoits. At the start of the season an Interclass meet was held in our gym in which several Freshmen were uncovered. On February 5, we entertained Cornell College of Iowa in a wrestling meet, which we lost by the score of 29-0. Cornell had a very good team, which included one Olympic man and one National champion. We were able to get one practice meet with the University of Chicago at the start of the season in which our men showed up very well. No score was given in this meet, which was only held for a workout. Armour met Y College twice this year, one meet being held at each school. Both were lost, the first meet at Y being 20-8, and the next at Armour being lost 17-0. In the second meet we were without the services of Captain Mc- Henry, who had broken a bone in his foot. The season is not yet finished at the time this article goes to press, so complete results cannot be given. It is hoped that next year a bigger turnout of men will be obtained as the squads will lose Captain McHenry, Geimer, Lickton, and Nemoede by graduation.

The question, plainly stated, is as follows, to-wit: How many apples did Adam and Eve eat? The answers, not quite so plainly stated, and open to considerable dis- pute, are as follows, half wit: Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2—a total of 10. We figure that Eve 8 and Adam 8—total 16. But If Eve 8 and Adam S2. the total would be � 0. Prof. Schommer figures it this way—Eve 81 and Adam 81—a total of 162. But what could be clearer than if Eve 81 and Adam 812 they would eat 893?

HUMOR THE GAB PAGE 3 THE FABLE OF A HARD KNIGHT'S HO UK (Thanx to George Ade) There was once a valiant knight who never saw Armour, even though he was a traveling Hardware dispensary. He was a wise guy in his way, he knew where all the pins went to and favored Nuxiated alloy-steel for tie- all-ins. Verily, he was the Original Brainy Ben. or if you prefer, a wise Biscuit. One dark night shortly before the day after, this Bozo Joined the boys down at Kelly's for a quiet game of pinochle. He melded well, played a mean nellow, and no mistake. Mounted on an old A. C. Plug, he drew up be- fore the gates of his manor, dubbed York Castle, at an hour early enough to greet the Milkman. “Hay there, what ho!” he bellows in a none too kindly Voice. “Garden Hoe, messire!” a youthful station Broadcasted down from the ramparts above.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS Little Arbuthnot Gefulte- fish, aged three and a half, discoursed thusly in a lecture delivered yesterday before the New England and Gulf States Spinach Association, at their meeting two years ago : “Seeing that every sensa- tion and every mental image or engram leads to a rellex activation which may be ap- parent or not according to the influence of positive or negative inhibition; to every sensation and image or per- ception there must, in con- sequence of this reflex motor action, result a correspond- ing kinesthetic or postural excitation of afferent stimuli flowing along proprioceptive neuronic systems from muscle spindles, tendons, bones and joints, which combined with associated labyrinthine sensa- tions. form a sensory con- tinuum which is intimately integrated with the extero- eeptor sensory continuum on the one hand and the motor continuum on the other.” Not bad for little Arbuth- not at that, was it?

My dear Miss Bellum: My daughter is too busy writing verses for Campbell's Soup ads and granting interviews to the press to answer your request personally, but she has asked me to furnish you with the necessary copy.

When the judge called her case, She saved her disgrace, By giving the case to the jury. Two pretty girls met on the street and kissed each other. Two young men watched them. “There’s another of those unfair things,” said the first man. “What’s that?” He pointed to the girls: “Women doing men’s work.” H UMOR OKEH WITH HIM. The Farmer: Young feller, I wanta go to Lincoln Park. The Newsie: Ya got my permis- sion, ol’ top, but behave yerself.

Pushed in stops to make it softer, Pulled and pushed to make it sweeter— Trcmelo, to make it tremble, Warbolo, to make it warble, Rumbolo, to make it rumble, With his right hand played the treble With his left hand played the fluto, And he blew his nose, staccato, Used his elbows (ma non troppo) Stamped his feet, appassionato, Thus he played them some Strainisky Worked the bellows, Wauwautosa, ------and then the organ stopped! “Yea, Sambo, I is got me a job at Bulgers Bahbacue Pahlah.

Weil, they had a heluva time trying to keep their kinostrils above the liquid, and one of them thought he’d croak sure. “It ain’t no use, it ain’t no use,” he hissed between sups, and he started to sink. But mind you. Boliver, the other held himself aloof, in fact, he held two loofs, but he kept on kicking and struggling and said, “I ain’t dead yet.” In about four days, just when the fresh milk was to be carted off to the citv, the frogs were discovered in the milk pail. “It ain’t no use” was dead, but the other one was sitting on a cake of butter, floating around and looking for a piece of bread. There should be a moral hanging around this somewhere, but if it isn’t obvious, forget about it. Alphonse: I could dance on like this forever. Agatha: Oh, you don’t mean that!
