This addition greatly in- spired the educators, and engineering was retained as the only part of the original school. In order to further this 12 several small laboratories housing specific branches of engineering have been built and are now in use. During the time the engineering school has been prospering— 13 it has boon aided materially by the archi- tectural work in conjunction with the Chicago Art Institute. The combination of those factors has enabled Armour to maintain its rank among the leaders of engineering education.

Chairman Joseph Bernard Finnegan Earl H. Reed, Jr. Clyde Barnes Cooper John Cornelius Penn Robert Vallette Perry Claude Irwin Palmer ard Paul Every school or college has a committee or governing body whose duty it is to decide the major questions in regard to the educational policy of the school or college. At Armour this work is entrusted to the hands of a group known as the Com- mittee on Educational Policy. 'Phis committee includes the President, the two Deans, and the heads of the Departments. Fourteen men in all, a governing body of the ablest and best fitted men in the Institute whose ability and good judgment have been tried and not found wanting on occasions too numerous to mention. All the members of this Committee on Educational Policy are experts along their particular lines. As all the departments are represented we have the judgment and experience of experts along all lines to aid in reaching a true and accurate decision. With the aid of this well balanced committee Armour Institute of Technology has made steady progress in its climb toward the top of the mountain of engineer- ing educational leadership. 19 Du. I low a ni) Monroe Raymond A MESSAGE EPCM TEE PRESIDENT There are more young Americans attending college today than ever before in the history of our country. Within a few years these same young men will be in charge of our industries, our homes, our schools, and our government. Every school, college, and university in our land is contributing to the training of these custodians of our future welfare. The institutions which contribute most are those that not only impart information but inspire the student to seek and love knowledge. They need not have championship teams, but must teach the prin- ciples of good sportsmanship, win or lose. Ivy clad buildings and attractive campuses are not so essential as an atmosphere of ideals, practical and attainable. Armour Institute of Technology is an institution that is striving to impress on its students the value of right conduct, right motives, and right attitudes, and to incorporate in their training the ideals of accuracy, dependability, trustworthi- ness, unselfishness, and good humor. 20 Howard M. Raymond Allison, Pi-inn Palmei� . Pkhry 4DHINISTPATIGN Today is the fruit of yesterday—its richness is most thoroughly enjoyed because of the timely foresight of an administration such as ours. lu no small way is George Sinclair Allison, Secretary and Treasurer, respon- sible for our continued existence. His keen mind and shrewd decisions are out- standing in their accuracy. John Cornelius Penn. Dean of Engineering and Profess r of Civil Engineering, to whom is entrusted the high standards of a rigorous college training, leaves no doubt in the mind of anyone as to the value of an engineering education. As Dean of Students and Professor of Mathematics. Claude Irwin Palmer has gained the respect and confidence of all with whom he has come into contact. His cheerful, helpful attitude in adjusting student difTiculties has done much to establish the warm feeling of friendship between the students at the Institute. Robert Yallette Perry. Director of Evening Classes and Professor of Machine Design, claims the privilege of pointing with pride to the evening classes for their steady, efficient progress. 21 Claude Irwin Palmer A.B.

Serene in the conviction that he is contributing thereby to the edification of the student 1kk1 and to the enlightenment of posterity, he begins the current chapter of his magnum opus with a certain ebullient enthusiasm. In his mind as he writes there is present always a complete acceptance of the contention that in all recorded history fact and fiction are inextricably mingled. In the dredging up of facts history is a science, but in the technique of its presentation it is often an art. There will be some who will insist that the present historian is no artist, but still less a scientist. It is a pleasure to record that many contributions to scientific truth have been made in the Faculty Club during the past year. The billiard table presents a splendid opportunity to skilled laboratory technicians, and several revolutionary discoveries have been made thereon. Professor Wilcox, ably assisted by Mr. Thompson, has conducted some painstaking researches directed towards the proving or disproving of certain commonly accepted principles of physics. W hile no public announcement has yet been made, we are reliably informed that one discovery, extremely disconcerting to a professional physicist, has been made. After innumerable experiments it has been demonstrated that the angle of reflec- tion is never equal to the angle of incidence. Professor Wilcox admits it sadly, but he has never been the same man since. Mr. Thompson will soon publish a complete report of their researches under the title “A Physicist among the Broken Gods.” Dean Palmer, an accomplished student of relativity, admits quite readily that the aspect of certain physical phenomena may depend greatly upon their position 30 in space and time. Recently, however, he has come, most unexpectedly, upon an extension of the theory of relativity applicable to his own chosen held of mathe- matics. It now appears that certain mathematical operations do not represent absolute truth, but are relative only, and that color is the disturbing factor. Work- ing on a white paper or a black board, the Dean can bisect an angle with speed and accuracy. But a few days ago he tried it on a green cloth, and the result was completely disastrous. So Euclid tumbles from his pedestal, and the icono- clast is a professor of mathematics. “Et Tu. Palmer.” One memorable day Professor Leigh attempted a draw shot under the critical eye of Professor Paul. The latter had just come from his lecture room where he had made obeisance to the memory of Newton and his laws of motion. ‘‘What a beautiful illustration of the third law this will be.” thought the professor, as C. W., like an able golfer, walloped the cue ball. The action was terrific for the red ball fairly Hew, but the reaction was zero; the cue ball stood stock still. Professor Paul turned away sadly, hoping that infinite mercy would forgive him for what he had told his students less than an hour before. So Sir Isaac, dishonored by his friends, yields to modern researches in mechanics. Other interesting researches are in progress but no definite results can be an- nounced at present. Perhaps the most interesting and certainly the one fraught with most far-reaching possibilities, is an investigation by Professor Davies, in the field of experimental psychology, lie proposes to investigate the validity of the law that “physical sensation is proportional to the square root of the irrita- tion,” to determine whether it holds good when the irritation is radio discussion. Upon the results of this investigation depend the peace and harmony of the Faculty Club. Announcement will be made in due time, in future chapters of our history. 31 ALUMNI THE ACMCIJC ALUMNI ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES Roy M. Henderson. ’02 Alfred S. Alschuler. '99 Robert B.

'22 Executive Secretary The Alumni Association of Armour Institute of Technology was organized hav- ing in mind the maintenance of closer relations between the alumni and their Alma Mater, the promotion of good fellowship and mutual welfare among its members, and in general, the advancement of the interests of Armour Institute of Technology. The activities and objects of the Association are fostered and regulated by a directorate consisting of three alumni members serving on the Hoard of Trustees of Armour Institute of Technology, a Hoard of Managers in which body every five year group of classes has a representative, the Alumni Advisory Council, and a group of active officers. The active officers are the president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, and executive secretary. An executive office is maintained at the Institute where the executive secretary holds sway as manager of Industrial Relations. The objects of the Alumni Association are obtained by work through five de- partments: Record, Employment, Publicity, Fellowship, and Maintenance Fund Departments. Records are kept of graduates and former students, files showing their business connections and address, home address, class, course, year, and where possible a record of former business connections. After graduation men are supposed to know where they stand. Don. howerer, seems to be up in the air. Ain’t that llelt-er. 34 BOARD OF MANAGERS Balpii H. Rick. 97 Henry L. Nachman, '02 Claude A.

The Armour Alumnus, the official publication of the alumni is published and distributed to all of the men whose names appear on the files. Besides this, several general letters are sent out each year informing the entire Alumni body as to con- ditions at the Institute. It is also the custom to hold banquets, luncheons, meetings, athletic games with the varsity teams, etc. in the interest of good fellowship. Contact with subscribers to the Alumni Maintenance Fund is carried on as another duty of the Alumni Association. The Alumni Association desires to foster the growth of branches and allots a portion of the members’ dues to the upkeep of their local chapter. A charter is granted by the Board of Managers upon the receipt of a petition signed by ten members. Branches are now incorporated in Detroit, New York, and Aurora. Another branch is being organized in Milwaukee, but is not incorporated as yet. Archilecls all—good fellows, loo. Vacations al- icavs agree with Andrews, Voila, and Newlin. 35 ENICC CLASS or ’29 OFFICERS Fred H. Juergensen, President Edward A. Lawler, Vice-President Albin J. Stabovitz, Jr., Secretary Oscar Pinsof, Treasurer PINSOF, JUERGENSEN STABOVITZ, LAWLER The end that means a new beginning has arrived most abruptly. We have passed that period in our lives which will be remembered forever. Our gains can now be redeemed for material things and a much brighter outlook on life. It was a four year climb to the top; the valley below is fertile and filled with the light of a new life. Looking back, we see that our class has left its marks. As Freshmen the class of ’29 showed its worth when they established their prestige in athletics. Next came their first social event, the Freshman Informal. Here was the beginning of their many precedents, when the dance was successful, not only socially, but financially as well. The next stepping stone in our climb was the Class Rush in which we emerged as victors over the Sophomores. When we started the second leg of our climb, we were confronted with such obstacles as physics and calculus, the giants that are great friends to those who overcome them. It can be rightly said that this part of the climb was the most perilous of all and made the rest of the way look much brighter for those who were able to proceed through this darkest period. The light after the dark, was the Junior year. Just as Dean Monin had said ANNOUNCEMENT COM MITTEE R. J. Guenther, Chairman C. D. Lamb E. L. Michelson J. P. Edstrand J. W.

Our Junior Informal was the first event of the college year. The formal was our next and will always be remembered as “something different.” Junior Week was the climax of that glorious year; it was our own week and we were kings. Our last leg of the race seemed a fast sprint. In our Senior year we maintained the various activities and followed the routine course of school work. The end of our climb gleamed ahead of us. On Commencement Day the end was reached. We were greeted by our friends, the faculty, who gave us new life that we may go on in the long race that soon follows. So ended the great climb. But a perilous climb is never without guides that know the course. The faculty were our guides and it was they who helped us around many obstacles. We are grateful for their services and our appreciations will grow with the years. We must go on in our individual enterprises. In the future, we will harvest the fruits of our knowledge; it is then that we should remember our Alma-Mater. Whenever needed we shall give our interest and loyalty for the love of Armour.

In the selection of these men a certain definite plan is followed. This is in the form of a scoring system devised by the Armour Tech Athletic Association whereby various numerical values are assigned different activities. The actual designation and ranking of the men is taken care of by the Board of Athletic Control which consists of the two Deans, the President, and several faculty and student representatives. The ten men given the Honor Edition Award are men who have contributed the most to the school in scholarship, leadership, and sportsmanship. They are the men who have done more for their school than any others of their class and for this service the award is altogether fitting and proper. 11 enry Christensen . Raymond F. Stellar George A.

CLASS Cf 3© Martin YanderVelde, President Norman Buehling, Vice-President William IIafner, Secretary Joseph Bechtold. Treasurer HLEHLING, VANDER VEI.DE BECHTOLD, IIAFNER Three eventful years of activity have passed since first this class entered Armour. It is with a satisfaction that we look back upon our earnest endeavor which spans the time when we entered upon our freshman year and the present time, when we look forward to our senior year and graduation. It is true, of course, that the Institute has not been waiting in breathless silence for the arrival of our class or that it will cease to exist after another year and we have gone our various ways in life. We do, however, hope that the class of ’30 may leave the Institute with the feeling that it has done its share in upholding the traditions of the school as well as adding some new’ ones. As Freshmen, Armour was an unknown realm of higher learning and before us we could visualize four long, laborious, heart-breaking years towering over us like some medieval giant. After a few weeks of this we soon learned that even college professors are human and that calculus is not a breakfast-food. However, before long the new ness of being a college student w ore off and we soon entered into the school activities with an interest that rapidly bore the fruits of success. We as a class made our debut with the Frosh Hand- shake and later our first dance in the Gold Room of the Congress Hotel. In athletics our teams were but mediocre. Junior Week brought forth the annual fray between the Freshmen and the Sophomores, the over- whelming victory for the former class was the pre- dicted result of the battle. i of every house has an A ndy Mellon.''

In passing it would be hard to say just how many did conquer these obstacles. However, life would be terribly monot- onous if all the mysteries could he solved. In our second year of activities we lost none of the impetus gained in our fresh- man year. This second chapter of our school life is so filled with happy events that their memories will live on with us for many years. Among these events will be found our Sophomore dance which was given at the Morrison Hotel and was a tremendous success. Then tin winning of the Interclass track meet, coupled with the prominence our athletes made on various teams, helped to make this a banner year. We must not forget the most important event, that of Junior Week, and the annual clash between the Freshmen and the Sophomores. It was here that the Class of ’30 destroyed the old tradition by defeating the freshmen by a wide margin. 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 at the Bis- marck Hotel was very well attended and furnished everyone with an enjoyable evening. We must not forget the Junior Prom which was held Junior Week at the Congress Hotel and the big things that Junior Week itself held in store for us and thereby placing a few more milestones along our path.

Timmermans, Vice-President Philip S. Kjellgren, Secretary Harry A. Bailey, Treasurer BAILEY, KJELLGREN TIMM ER M A NS, SCHUELER Modernism is the outstanding keynote of the class of ’31. There have been other classes before us but none have been able to lay just claim to the honor of living in harmony with the times. Ours is the class that first used the methods of the great politicians in her elections, the first to furnish men at all active in upper class activities, and the first to substitute mental processes for the physical in her clashes with other classes. We are the modern class of ’31! During the summer of ’28 the members of the class were scattered over the entire country, each doing his part assimilating practical experience that he might apply himself with intelligence to the duties of the next year. Our civil engineers were to be found at Trout Lake, Wisconsin learning the practical side of surveying under the instruction of Professors Wells and Heald. Our fire pro- tection engineers were to be found in various parts of the country assisting in the determination of fire rates by modern methods. Our mechanical engineers could be found in many of the large machine shops, our Chemical engineers in some of the large laboratories, and our electrical engineers and architects were best in their respective occupations, endeavoring to show the leaders that they would have to be on the alert from now on to beat them in gaining any new laurels. On the night of Friday, February 15th, the class of ’31 gave its annual dance in the Grand Pall Room of the Hotel La Salle. )Vho’s the seal of all this trouble? It looks as if Frank were doing a bit of uplift work. 64 S 0 C I A L C 0 M M I T T E E Robert N. Wilson, Chairman James M. McAlear Maxwell C. Larkin Frank M. James Frank M. Pfeifer MC ALEAR, LARKIN, WILSON, JAMES, PFEIFER For four hours the tall vaulted rooms, yea the somber “loop itself, rang with the shouts of joy from embryo engineers and architects giving vent to long penned up “whoopee.” After all joyful events we must reprimand ourselves several times before we can settle back into the track of being a student engineer. With a heart set more on the est hetics we once more entered the valley of darkness where reside those monsters so terrifying to Sophomores’ eyes, namely: Calculus, Mechanics, and Physics, which can only be combated with the aid of the “slip stick” and “reports.” The class of ’31 again proved that she was composed of winners when she emerged victorious in the Inter-Class Track Meet by piling up a large majority of the total points scored in the meet. We are now in the closing weeks of our sophomore year and we may well look back on obstacles we have conquered and breathe a sight of relief for we have conquered them thoroughly and set not a few records for other classes to aim at. To those obstacles we are facing in our future days at Armour we may well put our arm around our classmate’s shoulder and pro- pose a toast, Frangas non flectes.” Quite'a feat, Steinert.V Only one difficulty—the feel aren'tJ� ig enough and the mats don't match the coat. 65 TOP ROW—HENSON, STEVENSON.

The joys of college life and the rigors of study are no longer a mystery to the Freshmen; they are beginning to make themselves felt as strongly as the other classes in the life of the school. Three weeks after the semester had started the class assembled to elect their officers. The intense feeling of rivalry between the engineers and architects predominated throughout the entire election. The dean called the assembly to order and gave instructions to proceed; the battle was on. After many heated arguments, the nominees for the various offices were made. The battle subsided for a short while, but soon flared up again when someone passed out ballots with one of the candidates name checked on them. After the smoke of the battle had cleared away the following men emerged victorious: Jerome Laden, President; Irving Ackerman, Vice-President; William Edmonds, Treasurer; Lucien Billings, Secretary; David Chapman, Social Chairman; Lloyd Lamping, Sergeant-at-Arms. The first class activity of the yeai was the Freshman Smoker held in the reception rooms of the Western Society of Engineers on December 12, 1928. Like many a T.X. before him Pill is a demon lady killer. From the latest reports it is a young Danvillian who is causing him to think of sash weights, etc. 70 SOCIAL COM MITTEE David Chapman, Chairman Paul Abramson Howard Hendricks Lucian Hillings Robert Fairbanks Carrol Simon ABRAMSON, CHAPMAN. FAIRBANKS. HKNDHICKS. SIMON Since this time the class lias been the most active of all in social functions spon- sored by the school. The Freshman Class Dance held at the Opera Club was one of the greatest successes in the school calendar. The pomp and gaiety which marked this dance eclipsed all other social festivities of the year. Not only have the Freshmen been prominent in social activities, but have held the limelight in all inter-class athletics. In the inter-class basketball tournament the Freshmen defeated the Sophomores and lost their title hopes to the Seniors who defeated them by a narrow margin. In Varsity basketball the class was represented by two first string men on the squad. The Freshmen also shared honors in Varsity track and boxing. The class has endeavored during its short time at Armour to promote a stronger feeling of friendship among its members and has succeeded remarkably well. To those hours we have already spent at Armour we look back upon with pleasure— to those future hours we will pass at Armour we look forward to with apprehen- sion—nay. we must say pleasure, for we are the class of ’32, audentes fortuna juvat! A patient heart: this famed animal has had so many frolicsome frosh clambering over his hack that he has ceased to roar and now stands peaceful and quiet. 71 TOP ROW—BOLLINGER. WESTER BERG.

Palos Park is an ideal location for a winter picnic—so say the Triangles. But then the sand dunes of Indiana must not be overlooked. 78 UP IN THE AIR.

Even the deluge of rain which greeted the students on the eve- ning of November 16th failed to dampen their spirits when they arrived at the Lake Shore Athletic Club. The driving rain and storm were soon forgotten under the influence of the crooning melodies of Zez Confrey and his Ampico Orchestra. His well known Kitten on the Keys, merriment throughout the evening. Delightful entertainment in the form of the Merry Widow Waltz and tap danc- ing was furnished by a pleasing young lady. As all good t hings must end, this glorious evening drew to a close and the dancers reluctantly donned their slickers and boots and made their way into the storm. 92 JUNICE INPCCMAL CCMA4ITTEE Robert J.

Sounds huge but it was. actually was. I had a date with Jack but he refused to tell me where we were going. Of course this was terribly exciting but 1 managed to subdue my womanly curiosity and abide my time. We drove for some little time, poor little me. I never know where I am when we start driving around the city, finally however, we {lulled up in front of a down- town hotel which I later found to be the Bismarck. I was still mystified but all was soon disclosed. It was the Armour Tech. Junior Informal and it was being held in that quaint little low ceilinged Dutch Room. Perfection—Ah yes but the best was yet to come. The Chicago Rhythm Kings were supplying the music, such music—honestly it was just heavenly.

The antics of Lew Diamond and his Hal Tabarian Orchestra were a source of merriment throughout the evening. The programs were a pleasing variation from the conventional type, their black celluloid covers and gold braid making them very attractive souvenirs. Late in the evening the floor was cleared and a special number in the form of a tango waltz was presented to the delighted audience. Hardly had the specialty dancers finished when the engineers and their fair partners swarmed onto the floor for a last few minutes of concentrated pleasure before the strains of the last number died away, to linger only in the memories of the happy crowd. EEESEM AN INFCCM4L COMMITTEE Dave Chapman, Chairman Paul Abramson Avron Simon Robert Fairbanks Howard Hendricks Spring arrived at last and her mantle of green furnished an ap- propriate setting for the Freshman dance which was held at the Opera Club on April 12th. Waddy Wadsworth and his Or- chestra kept the crowd stepping lively with their dance tunes. Occasionally some freshman out of sheer ecstacy of attending his own collegiate hop would unknowingly crash with an upper classman. After a sudden descent to earth and a sort of breathless asking of pardon he would pass on and could be heard saying to his lady of the evening “Did you see him? Well that is So and So of the senior class. That's funny you never heard of him before.” Two specialty dances were presented, one, the Opera Club’s usual Roulette dance; the second by one of Atmons Villains and his girl friend Vanilla. 95 INTER HCNCCACy DANCE John W. Manz Rudolph J. Guenther William H. Berry George H. Smith On the evening of Friday April 19th the main ballroom at the St. Claire Hotel was filled with gay laughing couples, for on that date the annual Inter Honorary Frater- nity dance held sway from nine till done. The melodies of the Doctors of Syncopation were warmly wel- comed and acted as a tonic to the swaying couples. Enthusiasm ran high all evening and pledges of the various fraternities added interest to the occasion by supplying entertainment of varied character. Other entertainment was given by professional performers. 'I'he room was decorated with pennants of the various fraternities, which brought hack memories to the alumnae who had turned out in force. To many this was the last informal dance of their school days so they made the most of it. 5To.r-5V W.yd Xti- HYTftAL nno r« rAi-riT -TC AS T e t'lXHM RfAtHfS AlY AcSKViaK v Arp� pA«5 96 JUNICE? fCCMAL COMMITTEE Robert J.

Beal Walter Scott, Jr. John Papantony Like a mighty ship returning to port after a successful voyage the social season came to a close with the Junior Promenade on May the 17th. Under the able piloting of Robert Serson and his crew, the Juniors presented their formal dance in the Ballroom of the Congress Hotel. Charley Stragh and his hardies convinced the boys that this was the best port that they had ever stopped at. Soft lights, alluring harmony, and the right girl transformed the rugged engineers into gentle considerate escorts. At midnight all hands responded to a mess call, merely a letup in the whirl of events, after which dancing was resumed until four bells, when the voyage of the good ship Social Season came to a close and the happy passengers went their ways. 97 SENIOR BANQUET The banquet which each senior class holds before graduation was given Thursday, May 2nd. at the St. Clair Hotel. The affair was scheduled to start at 7 P.M. and soon after that most of the horde of hungry engineers was present. The prizes and entertainment which were offered by the com- mittee helped increase the merry making and were received with a great deal of response. The spirit of fellowship which prevailed all evening was heightened to a considerable degree by friendly chats by J. J. Schommer and P. C. Huntlv. It was with the greatest reluctance that the seniors finally left the scene of their last informal gathering. SENIOR RECEPTION The Senior Class reception will be held by Dr. Raymond this year in the library on Friday, May 24th. Due to the hearty enthusiasm accorded Mr. Julian B. Arnold when he spoke last year, he will again address the seniors at the reception. A varied program will be offered including a trio of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra who will be present to render some musical numbers. Refreshments will be served and there will be dancing in the gymnasium for the graduates and their friends. INTER-UONCRARy BANQUET ANO SAiOBER The second of the Inter-Honorary banquets offered by the Honor- ary Fraternities at Armour was given on Wednesday, May 8th. A loop hotel was the scene of action when the pledges, members, and alumni of the various fraternities strove to outdo one another in making the evening one of feast and festivity. This banquet marked the termination of the Inter-Honorary affairs for the season. The season was given a live start by a smoker at the Theta Xi house early in January. Smokes, cards, and plenty of eats were on the program for the smoker which was a decided success. 98 JUNIOR WJEEU JUNIOR WEEK 1929 J.

The week of May 14th to 19th was one of gay festivities beginning with Open House night on Monday and ending on Saturday with circus day. On Wednesday evening the musical societies of the Institute presented an enter- tainment in connection with the fraternity sing. This latter held a great deal of interest because of the cup which was awarded the winner. Baseball was the head liner for Thursday when the varsity team gave an exhibi- tion game.

After the preliminary establishment of goals and the formal hand shaking of Bush leaders, the starting gun was fired by Dr. Raymond. The ranks of red and green surged together and soon became a mass of panting, struggling under-classmen tugging and fighting for the possession of the sacks. The whacks of the paddles wielded by the Junior marshals were often audible in the din that arose. Again the gun was fired, this time symbolizing the end. and it vas a bewildered Freshmen class that collected its tattered mob and listened to the results— F resh men—10 Sophomores—30 The Sophomores were victorious! This was the first time in eleven years the Freshman class has been beaten and the second time in the history of the Institute, so the class of ’30 made history on that glorious circus day. 101 CMMEP CAMP SUMMER CAMP 1928 Onco in the career of every hopeful young Civil Engineer comes the shadow of Summer Camp and Field Practice; six weeks to l e spent in the wilds of Wis- consin, that often dreaded six weeks in which to put to practice the knowledge and theory which he has ac- quired in his class room and books. To some this presents an awesome and destructive outlook on their summer vacation; to others it becomes a sense of duty in which there is no choice, while to the majority it is looked forward to with keen interest and enthusiasm. The evening of June ninth was the appointed time of departure of the hilarious crew, and after many hasty “Cood-byes” and last minute instructions of fond parents whose sons were leaving home for their first stay of any length of time, some twenty-eight fellows scrambled for a seat on the train and a place to pile their luggage. Needless to say everyone made himself at home and literally took possession of the day coach that was assigned to the Armourites, and before the night was over, practically every one of the camp-goers was to be found either in the chair car or on the observation platform of the train. This being the first run of the season of the “Fisherman’s Special. ’ there were to be found a number of Chicago’s Super-sportsmen on board, and being in a par- ticularly cheerful mood as they were, little difficulty was found in getting acquainted with them and soon every one was swapping stories as if they had known each other for years. Someone in the “gang” had brought along his “uke” and the more talented members took turns in trying to reel off the latest jazz num- bers. It was thought for a while that drastic measures would have to be taken to cause these energetic musicians to cease as it was generally conceded (from all parts of the train) that noise in its place was all right but during the early morning hours it was slightly out of place. When the train arrived at Minocqua it was raining “cats and dogs” and there was a great scramble for seats in the bus which transported us from -Minocqua to Trout Lake where they were destined to spend the next six weeks “civiling.” After a drive of about thirty min- utes the crowd arrived at Camp Armour. The baggage was all unloaded and lots cast for the tents after which Miss Lee, who was head of the food preparing department, gave a “hand- out” of doughnuts and coffee. 104 After lunch the gang dis- sembled to carry out private expedii ions of discovery. 11 was noted with anticipation that, so far as could be seen. Trout Lake was due to be slightly relieved of that species of animal life from which she got her name. One of the pleasant parts of camp life, when not work- ing in the field, was to go on canoe trips to the adjoining lakes, either to fish or mere- ly as a pleasant way to spend a summer afternoon. These trips were usually made over the week ends and were looked forward to with much anticipation. While on the subject of “social” affairs mention must l e made of the far sighted dance hall manager who brought a truck to the camp every Saturday nite and departed to the hall with practically every member of the camp. Then, too, during the two days holiday over the Fourth of July, several of the more adventurous and thrill-seeking members rented canoes, rolled up a pack and made a canoe trip through the chain of lakes, starting at Boulder Junction and ending at the camp. They reported a thrill filled episode, but alas! they grew careless and wore bathing suits and tops without sufficient protection from the beating sun and several were rewarded with a most beautiful case of sun-burn and blistering. Fortunately due care was taken and no infection set in, although the possessor in each case endured great discom- fort, especially at night. At times when it was too quiet, Kangaroo courts were held usually followed by a ducking party, so that the spirits of the high-strung might be dampened in the lake. In each case the party was successful and helpful; possibly instructive, thanks to the “Mob-Rule” that made it so. However very little contention was found in the camp during the six weeks and the twenty-first of July ended the term in a harmonious fashion. Naturally everyone was in a happy mood when the train again rolled to a stop in the Union Station, despite the stares of the terri- fied Chicagoans who thought that the Indians were coming. There is little doubt but that the opinion of any or all who have attended camp is the same, and they will undoubtedly agree to a man that the experience presents many happy memories of their stay at Trout Lake. Those t hat, have not attended Summer Camp as yet, will find a world of new experiences and pleasures await- ing them. 105 John J. Schommkr As in the 1928 Cycle so do I make the same plea in the present Cycle—do not neglect your physical development. Participate in some athletic activity. Learn to play as well as work. Nobody likes the continual grind. Your athletics teach you how to conduct yourself with and against men as no other course of activity does in college. After you are graduated probably 75% or more of your future success will depend on friends and on how you can handle or get on with men. There is no better way to cement and make friendships than on the field of sport. Friendships never die! If you are not interested in a major sport go out for the minor sports. Learn how to play golf, tennis, how to box or how to swim. The minor sports can be enjoyed for a life time. The enjoyment of sun, air and friend- ships will be a blessing all your life. 107 John P.

First Vice-President Second Vice-President ............Secretary ............Treasurer In the Spring of 1922. a group of enthusiastic students who foresaw the need of a representative student body in school affairs, organized what is known as the Armour Tech Athletic Association. The express purposes for which it was organized are best brought out in the object in its constitution: “The object of this organization shall be to develop a unified Armour spirit by organizing and systematizing all inter-class relations, all class customs and privileges: serving as a means of communication between the student body and the faculty; investigating and rendering opinions upon any matter brought to the organization or upon any matter which may be initiated by the organization itself: passing and enforcing such acts as it may deem advisable for the government and regulation of the student body providing that such legislation is approved by the Executive Council of the Institute; acting as a Court of Appeal from all sections of classes, members of committees in carrying on class activities, organizations, athletics, or any student ; having full privilege of investigating the management of any student activity; fostering mass meetings at appropriate intervals; promoting inter-fra- ternity contests; stimulating interest in athletic contests; assisting the athletic department in arranging schedules, receiving and caring for visiting teams, etc.; providing cheers and cheer leaders; directing and managing all matters which properly fall under the direction of such an organization.” The management of the A.T.A.A. rests with the Hoard of Athletic Control, which consists of the Executive Council, three faculty members, the officers of the A.T.A.A.. a major “A” man. a representative of the Freshman class, and a finance committee. It meets jointly with the Board of Athletic Control when there is business to transact. The organization has had an interesting past and has produced many favorable changes in student activity. Recently it awarded numbered Honor Cycles, from one to ten, to the ten most outstanding men upon graduation. Scholarship, activity, and personality were the governing factors upon which these men were chosen. This will be an annual award. The Hoard has also given considerable time to the regulation of disbursement of class funds. Its history is very brief—a period of seven years—but the A.T.A.A. has accom- plished much. 108 .STELLAR.

Wallace McGillivray Boxing.............................................Ralph Garbett The year of 1928-29 found two changes in the Armour coaching staff. Krafft, who had previously confined his coaching efforts to baseball, took over basketball as well. Boxing, formerly consisting of both boxing and wrestling came under the supervision of one of the students, Ralph Garbett. The balance of the coaching staff remained identical with that of the year before. Under the guidance of this capable staff, the Armour teams have been extremely successful not only as far as victories go, but also in promoting a line spirit of leadership and sportsmanlike conduct. The schedules followed by all of the various teams were longer and harder than Armour teams have ever before faced. Thus it is with a justifiable background that we point with pride to their excellent record. Too much credit cannot he given to I he coach of a successful team. Armour’s teams were successful—coaches, we salute you. 112 TOP now-SIMPSON, MAN .. SMITH, I,A.MB, SCIIOMMKR, POt PITCH, LINK. STKIINO.

Sturm The Honor “A” Society is one of the oldest organizations at Armour, having been founded in the spring of 1911. Originally it was the governing body of athletics at Armour as well as a society to promote athletics and bind the men together. However, in 1923 the Armour Tech Athletic Association was organized and took over the duties of regulating school athletics. To bring a closer union between the athlete, student, coach and alumnus, the members of I lie society wear small gold “A” watch-charms. This year the society sponsored the first Armour Athletic Alumni Reunion, on December 6, 1928 at the Auto Grill immediately after the Alumni-Varsity Basket- ball game. The banquet was well attended by Honor “A” men from various parts of the country as well as from Chicago. 113 John J. Bkady, Cheer Leader 114 DA EE4LL William C. Krafft. .. Germini Rossetti....

Captain Rossetti could be relied upon to fill the shortstop position in inspiring style. King Simpson, a demon pitcher as a Freshman the year liefore, was back and could bo depended on for an even better season with one year of college mound experience to his credit. Edstrand. Gent and Reichle were seasoned performers at the diamond game and with Simpson and Rossetti formed the nucleus around which Coach Krafft constructed his 1928 baseball machine. The season was comparable to the one that preceded it when the team won nine, lost four and tied one. One win and one loss more than the previous season was the 1928 record. The highlights of the season were, however, more a par with the fictitious efforts of “Dick Merriwell.” The outstanding feature was Simpson’s no hit. no run game. Such a thing is rare throughout all baseball, but probably even the author of “Dick Merriwell” would never have had the nerve to include a four hit no run game on his hero’s next appearance on the mound and nine more similar innings devoid of runs. Altogether, he pitched twenty-seven con- secutive scoreless innings, the Luther score coming in the tenth inning of the game at Decorah. During this spree Simpson set down thirty-eight hostiles via the strike out route. 116 v TOP ROW—OSBORNE (MGR.), REICHLE, AUGUSTINE, WELDON, KRAFFT (COACH). MIDDLE ROW—GENT. ROBIN, JERVIS, SIMPSON.

The early innings seemed to mark Crane as the victor, but a new battery composed of Simpson and Link, the latter a Freshman, changed the tide of the battle. The climax was reached in the sixth when Tech scored seven runs to tujck the first game away to the tune of 10 to 7. Luther College of Decorah, Iowa, and champions of Iowa for the past five years were the next opponents of the Armour men. Simpson was elected to mound duty. When tin dust had settled it was found that Youngquist, Luther hinder, had twelve strikeouts and allowed four hits, while Simpson had eleven strikeouts and allowed seven hits. The necessary punch was lacking and the Iowans won 4 to 0. Our nearest neighbors, Chicago Normal, proved no match for Armour in the 118 third game. Stehno started in the box but was relieved by Weldon after Robin had collected two homers from the Normal mound artist. The final score was 11 to 6 in Armour’s favor. The next foe at Ogden Field was Lake Forest, who had just previously put a feather in their hat when they held Luther to a scoreless tie. Armour removed the feather and put it in Simpson’s hat. The Tech team collected eleven hits and ten runs while the Foresters scraped out one run from four hits. The scene of battle changed to DeKalb, where the normal school there was the victim of the Armour diamond men. Stehno and Simpson flung the horsehide, allowing six hits and four runs. The teachers yielded nine hits and six runs. Simpson and Weldon forced “Y” College to yield to them for Tech’s fourth consecutive victory. They allowed eight hits while their teammates gathered ten. “Y” had four runs while the victors had twice as many. The Michigan trip was the break in the string of victories. Stehno. our Fresh- EDSTRAND STEHNO YOUNT 119 man ace, held the Michigan State sluggers to nine hits while Armour got seven. Michigan State scored victories over Michigan, Big Ten Champs, and Notre Dame, so the five to two loss was a very good showing against a big school. Simpson pitched against St. Mary’s at Orchard Lake on the following day. Two errors in the seventh inning were the undoing of the Tech Team. The Saints garnered six hits and two runs while Tech had five hits and one run in ten innings of very good baseball, except for the seventh. Before the disastrous eflects of the Michigan trip had worn off, Armour met Lake Forest and was defeated. Six errors with only seven hits gave the Foresters nine runs. The Engineers scored two runs on five hits. The DeKalb teachers on Ogden Field were the victims of a victory-hungry Armour baseball team two days after the disastrous Lake Forest game. Simpson to insure victory, allowed the visitors not a hit for nine innings. During the pro- ceedings he fanned twelve men. So well did he perform that only four assists «K� - ■ ■ f me GENT JERVIS 120 were registered by his teammates. Meanwhile, Armour had found the opposing hurler for nine hits and five runs. Armour went out of its way to beat “Y” College for a second time during the season, playing on the “Y” diamond. It made the fifth consecutive year that “Y” has failed to beat Tech. Reichle featured in this game with four hits out of a possible five. Stehno allowed seven well scattered hits and two runs, Armour massing twelve hits and five runs. Simpson took up the task of beating Northwestern College of Watertown, and in order to make the Armour lone tally sufficient to win, did it with a shut out. Fourteen men were sent back to the bench via the strikeout route. Armour collected five hits to four for Northwestern. The return game with Luther saw the same men on the rubber as in the first encounter, namely, Simpson for Tech and Youngquist for the Norsemen. For nine innings the teams battled on even terms with no scores. In the tenth Armour AUGUSTINE 121 scored a lone tally, and apparently the ball game. But Luther came back with three hits coupled with an error, to score two runs and win the ball game. Simpson fanned twelve and allowed nine hits while Youngquist had thirteen strikeouts and was found for four hits. The next day, at Watertown, the Teehites took another game from the home team by a score of five to two. Stehno pitched a very good game with an unusual amount of support. A triple play was recorded. With men on first and second, Reichle speared a liner apparently bounded for center field, tossed it to Rossetti for out number two, who threw to Robin for the third out. Armour was out-hit nine to eight. The alumni came down to Ogden Field only to bow to the Freshman whiz. Stehno. Me allowed seven hits and two runs, while the undergrads collected twelve hits and six runs. Another Freshman, Jervis, also contributed to the downfall of the Alumni by collecting four hits during the pastime. IlKICIf I.E LINK 122 TC4CI Alonzo A.

Captain Deiwert, ex-captain Payne, Tracy, Skaer, Samuelson, Kara, Jillson, and Paul were the major letter men who reported for practice. With these men and a good turnout of new men the Tech team was formed. Timmermans, Yount, Smith, Fox and Iverson were among the newcomers who showed up well. The season as a whole was mediocre, the team being unstably weak in field events with the exception of the shot-put. Paul, a modern Hercules, won this event consistently, taking first in every meet. Captain Deiwert could be depended on to take a first in the mile run and collect points in the two mile. Tracy and Sturm were point getters in the dashes—Tracy’s specialty being the 220, while Sturm shone in the century. Kara took points in the hurdles and shot put. The cross-country team was captained by David Smith, but lack of interest in this branch of track made it difficult to schedule meets, let alone make good showings in them. 124 BACK ROW—8TAGG (cOACIl), MONTBSANO, FOX, BROWN, TIMMERMANS, RANSEL, PAYNE.

Captain Dei- wert, Paul, Sturm, and Tracy carried the Tech hopes in their specialties, but “Y” won 28 to 24. The Illinois Relays were the next event on the card. Armour was represented by teams in the mile and two mile relays, and by Don Paul in the shot-put. The mile team was composed of Iverson, Captain Diewert, Yount and Fox. Iverson, Timmermans, Captain Deiwert, and Payne made up the two mile team, which placed fourth in one of the two heats. Three teams broke the Carnival record in this race, Captain Deiwert stepped the half in 2:03, which is better than the school record. A triangular meet with Crane and Chicago Normal was next on the schedule. Crane won with 57 points, Armour came in second best with 37 points, while the Teachers collected 26. Kara started the Tech points with a second in the 60 yard high hurdles. A first and fourth in the 50, and the same in the mile, by Sturm and Tracy and Deiwert and Payne, swelled the Tech’s total considerably. In the half two Freshmen, Timmermans and Iverson, finished second and third. KARA PAYNE YOUNT 126 Another Freshman. Fox, took a fourth in the quarter. Skaer and Kichen garnered a second and fourth in the three standing jumps. The pole vault gave us a third and fourth. The shot-put was won handily by Don Paul, who set a new record of 43 feet 9% inches. Yount took a third in this event. Another triangular with Sears-Roebuck “Y” and Chicago Normal saw Tech again second, “Y” finishing on top by a single point. Four out of a possible eight first places were taken by the Engineers. Deiwert, in a twelve lap run, Yount, in the shot-put (Paul did not compete in this meet) and a four lap. and eight lap relay teams accounted for the initial places. Sturm, Timmermans, Fox and Tracy formed the four lap quartet, while Iverson substituted for Timmermans in the combination when the eight laps were run. The Drake Relays at Des Moines were the next attraction on the schedule. A half mile and sprint medley relay teams, together with Paul, were entered in the meet. The half mile team copped a second in their heat, but as it was a slow heat they were beaten out of a place. Sturm, Timmermans, Skaer and Tracy ran in the order named, each man run- ning a 220. In the sprint medley relay, Tech was represented by Sturm in the IVERSON TIWMi.MTZ DEIWERT 127 110, Skaer and Tracy in the 220 and Captain Deiwert in the 880. Each man ran in faster time than previously. Deiwert ran a 1:58 half, bettering the school record by six seconds and Sturm ran a 53 second quarter. The team placed fifth out of a field of eleven. Paul had an oil day and placed seventh with a heave of 41 feet (SYi inches, while 42 feet 10 inches was the qualifying mark for the finals. Wheaton furnished opposition for the next meet, and Armour dived on them 65 to 52. In the dashes Sturm and Tracy finished, one, two, although the lead alternated in each case, Sturm winning the 100, while Tracy won the 220. Paul and Yount accounted for a first and second in the shot-put and discus throw. Paul breaking the record in each, with 14 feet 3J £ inches in the shot-put, while the new discus record became 116 feet 8 inches. Trognitz took a third in the discus to give Tech a slam in that event. Captain Deiwert won, as usual, in the mile, and Dave Smith took a third. Deiwert, worn out from the mile run, was passed up by the Wheaton flash, Hess, in the two mile and placed second. Kara won the 100 yard high hurdles, with a time of 16 seconds. Brown’s 9 feet 9 inches in the pole-vault was sufficient for victory in that event. On May 17, the Armour tracksters ran against Lake Forest, Chicago Normal and Wheaton in a quadrangular meet at Stagg Field. The strong Lake Forest EICHEN TIMMERMANS BROWN 128 aggregation piled up 73 points to win. Armour was second with a score of 37, while Wheaton made 33 tallies and Normal 22. Tracy opened the day by win- ning the 100 in his usual style. Deiwert was forced to set a new7 school record in the mile to tie Hess of Wheaton for first place. The effort wore him out, and he was only able to take a fourth in the two mile later. Kara, running against good competition, managed to place third in both the high and low hurdles, in spite of a strained side muscle. Paul easily bagged first in the shot-put with 13 feet 2 inches, but fell far short of his previous week's record, for a third in the discus. Bangert of Normal sailed to two victories in the pole vault and high jump. In the latter, Kara tied for a fourth. Sturm ran a good quarter to finish second to Crawford of Wheaton. He also took second in the 220 yard dash, Tracy coming in third in this event. Armour finished the spring track season with a dual meet with ‘Y” College at Stagg Field. Again the team was outclassed in the field although showing superiority on the track. The squad was crippled by the absence of Yount, and injuries to Tracy that permitted him to run only one race, and to Kara who was not able to score his usual quota of points, being handicapped by a badly sprained ligament in his side. Nevertheless he copped a third in both high and low hurdles. SKAER Skaer won the hundred, Deiwert his specialty, the mile, and second in the half and two mile. Montcsano won this latter event. Paul as usual won the shot- put, 12 feet 3 inches being the distance. FOX MONTESANO WINKLER BA l CTB iLL BASKETBALL 1T28-29 COACH KRAFFT CAPTAIN MANZ William C. Krafft.....................................Coach John W. Manz.........................................Captain Carl II. Johnson.....................................Manager Henry Faulstich.........................Assistant Manager The basketball team during the season 1928-29, while not exceptional as a team, showed some improvement over the previous year when the team won four out of the nineteen games played. This year five games were won against eleven lost. Four letter men, some substitutes and several freshmen were what was left after the final cuts had been made from the original group of sixty reporting for the first practice. Coach Krafft, who succeeded Coach Romney, cut the squad quickly, with an eye for weight, till approximately fifteen remained. Captain Manz, Augustine, Simpson and Tell formed a quartet that w ould gladden the heart of any coach of the hardwood. However, his final choices were handicapped by a lack of size and weight, a thing that he had foreseen but w hich was inevitable. The team was un- doubtedly light and fast but not of t he calibre that Armour should turn out. However, the conditions at Armour are very poor, especially for the basketeers. A two-hour practice after five o’clock classes and often a long ride home, combined with late hours spent in study arc far from ideal methods of arriving at a state of good physical condition.

The game was a scoring spree for the Crane men, the first time in three years that they have not bowed to Tech. The only Armour man to really do anything remarkable was Andrews, our peppy cheer leader, but he and the rooters could not help the 42 to 19 score, cheer as they might. The alumni came next and the younger boys succeeded in outwitting and out- scoring them on the Armory court. Competition was not so keen so the 30 to 22 victory cannot be used to judge the team’s strength or weakness. Armour journeyed down to South Bend to play out of their class and thus receive a royal drubbing at the hands of the Notre Dame Ramblers. The score was 54 to 14 and is no dishonor for this school is much better known for its athletes than its students. The fourth game was a heart breaker. Chicago Normal appeared on the floor EWING ROSSING RUTKOWSKI 134 as the Champions of the Northern Illinois League, and with the team intact from this championship. The score eleven minutes before the end was 19 to 12 in favor of the engineers. The teachers however, slowly but surely closed up the gap and finally went into the lead, the final score being in their favor, 25 to 22. On North Central’s floor the Armour cagemen met defeat again, but not with- out a wonderful second half. The engineers were bothered by the peculiar gym- nasium during the first half and trailed 19 to 10 at the end of that period. Simpson poured through seven baskets, four coming in the second half spurt which left Tech with the short end of a 36 to 29 score. The Northwestern team of McKinlock Campus have not the polish of their Big Ten brethren with a result that Armour came out ahead in this encounter. Manx, playing forward, came through well, while Simpson and Augustine carried their share of the burden for the 27 to 18 victory. DeKalb invaded the Armory and came out with a victory over Tech, due to superior playing in the first half. The final score was 25 to 22. MANX CAM .SON OTT 135 “Y” College on their home court, beat the Techites, due to similar better team- work in the initial half, which could not be overcome by a belated second half rally by the boys of the black and gold. The book showed a 29 to 23 score. The Michigan trip had Detroit Y.M.C.A. listed as the first opponents. A team of six footers was a huge obstacle to the shorter Tech players. Detroit won out 30 to 21. On the night following the Detroit game the scene shifted to Ypsilanti, where the Armour cagers tasted defeat by a single point. Michigan State Normal had a good team, so it can be seen that Armour was playing real basketball. The teachers scored 30 points. “Y” College ventured onto our court and found it exactly as unsafe as theirs was for Tech earlier in the season; the score was exactly reversed, being 29 to 26 in favor of Armour. The Purple of McKinlock again bowed to us, each team scoring one more point than in the previous encounter, results being 28 to 19. ROBIN AUGUSTINE 136 Augustana outplayed Armour on I ho home floor, the Swedes of Rock Island doing practically the same thing on their floor in the very next game. The first ended 38 to 25; the second 36 to 22, both losses. Armour turned the tables on North Central to win the final game. Captain Manz, Simpson and Augustine scored thirty points between them, Manz getting five, Simpson thirteen and Augustine twelve. The final score stood Armour, 35, North Central 29. This was the final game in black and gold toggeries for Captain Manz, Augustine and Goodhcart, who played a fine guarding game throughout the season. SIMPSON GOODHEART 137 1 GCLF 1928 CAPTAIN BATES COACH LEIGH Charles W. Leigh.................................Coach Harry Bates.....................................Captain The Golf loam this year, although not as well balanced nor as successful as the team of last year, split even on a very tough schedule. The loss of Urban, last year’s captain, left a hole that was hard to fill. With Captain Bates as a nucleus and several promising new men, Professor Leigh developed a team Armour might well be proud of. Bucking stiff opposition, many of the matches were won through sheer grit. The first match of the season was with the alumni. “Tech” dropped this 18 to 6, the worst defeat of the year. The next match was with Crane and ended in a dead heat, 10 and 10. Armour’s first victim was Loyola, 11 to 9. The next match was dropped to Marquette, 10 and 9. At Milwaukee the “Tech” men lost a second time, 12 and 10. Traveling to Milwaukee to defend the Western Intercollegiate Golf Champion- ship won the year before, the team took third place. Loyola took first place and the traveling cup. The season was featured by the brilliant playing of Captain Bates, who was ably assisted by Christiansen. Quinbv, Pfeifer and Weiss. Professor Leigh deserves commendation for his excellent coaching and untiring efforts in developing the golf team. With the return of so many veterans we may look forward to an even more successful season next year.

Playing the toughest schedule in its history the team came through with ten victories and only three defeats. With the veterans Jennings, Stellar, Langan and Lamb, and three new men, Eddy, Winkler and Scott, the team was exceptionally well balanced. After defeating Lake Forest, Loyola, Wheaton and Detroit City College in rapid succession the “gang ’ slumped and dropped three matches in a row to Grinnell, Lake Forest and Marquette. Earlier in the season Armour had trimmed Lake Forest to the tune of six to one. Quickly hitting its stride again the team trounced the powerful University of Louisville raquetters six to nothing. Loyola was facing defeat a second time when rain saved the day. Wheaton dropped a second match on the Armour courts and Michigan State was humbled at Lansing. Hillsdale College was the next victim and the season ended when the tables were turned on Marquette at Mil- waukee.

Wallace McGillivray.........................Coach Walter R. Trognitz...........................Captain John J. Zolad................................Manager The swimming team suffered more than any of the other teams when four men. Captain Brown, Abramson, Marhoefer and Dithmer were lost from last year’s team. These men have not been successfully replaced, the call for candidates being but meagerly answered. Trognitz, the flashy breast-stroker, was chosen to lead the “Tech” natators during the 1928-29 season. The team was exceptionally strong in the breast stroke, fairly good in the free style and fancy diving, and as usual, notably weak in the distance back stroke. Captain Trognitz took first in every meet by a comfortable margin each time. Knox, a newcomer, gave good account of himself in the free style. Strauch, by persistent practice, developed into an excellent diver. Several of the members of the team were laid low by the influenza epidemic. The first two meets of the season were held with Crane College, who was vic- torious in both. The next two meets with “Y” College were likewise lost to the opponents. The team, however, showed a remarkably good fighting spirit in spite of the overwhelming odds that an Armour athletic team must face, especially the swimming team, who are forced to use the University of Chicago pool. The team improved as the season wore on, which points to a prosperous future as all the men will be back in school next year. 144 DAVIDSON, ZOLAND, VANDER VELDE CAVANAUGH, MCINEHNEY, TROGNITZ, STRAUCH S W IM MIN G 1928-29 SC HE D U L E Crane 42 Armour 20 Crane Armour 25 “Y” College.... 41 Armour 19 “Y” College... . 35 Armour 24 145 B0XING 1928-29 COACH GARBETT CAPTAIN LARKIN Ralph Garbett..............................Coach Maxwell C.

Not only did the sport come out of its coma, which was brought on by lack of interest, but it convalesced to a point of healthy growth that it had never reached before. Boxing is apparently an accepted school sport. The loss of Poupitch, last year’s captain, was felt keenly, an infected ear keeping him out for the season. Larkin, whose performance last year as a Freshman accorded him the honor of the captaincy, was back with his fiery determination and soporific rights and lefts. Buehling. Whitfield and Garbett were the other experienced men of the squared circle who returned. Garbett, in addition, took over the duties of coach. The under-classmen, and especially the Freshmen, turned out in numbers and showed very considerable improvement as the season progressed. The schedule was opened with the South Side “Y” at their gym. Garbett, Jammer, Larkin, and Swartz accounted for the points for the Tech team. Buehling and Schlossberg Ixixcd well but could not get decisions. Sandstrom had the misfortune to meet a man eight pounds heavier, who had previously defeated the State “Y” champ. The next two meets were with West Side Prep School “Y” and Hyde Park “Y.” The former Armour ' r LEADING 146 J s X BRIGGS (MGR.), TAYLOR, NELSON, WHITE, JAMMER, CANNON, GARRETT (COACH).

SCII E D i; L E 6 va BLOCKING 147 INTCC-CLA ATHLETIC The annual Circus Day Inter-Class Relay was won in 1928 by the men of the Class of ’30, at that time Sophomores. Sturm, Stein, Reichle and Winkler formed the winning team. The Seniors in the basketball tournament in the fall of ’29. emerged champions. The Juniors lost to the Seniors, while the Freshmen trounced the Sophomores and thus earned the right to meet the Seniors. The final game was bitterly fought but the Seniors finally won the game and numeralled sweaters. The customary Freshman-Sophomore track meet was dispensed with at the l)eginning of the school year 1928-29. Instead, an indoor meet was held in the middle of the year in which letter men were allowed to compete. The points were about evenly divided up until the last two events, when the Sophs ran wild to collect IT out of a possible 18. The big guns of the Sophomore team were the Fox brothers, Harold and Henry, Timmermans and Iverson. The final score of the meet was Sophomores 31, Juniors 17, Freshmen 7, Seniors 6. The Baseball title was won by the Juniors. A homer by Paul of the Juniors in the third inning, scored the only and winning run. Stehno allowed but one other hit besides this, while Simpson allowed but a total of one. Previously the Seniors and Frosh had lost to the Juniors and Sophs respectively. FINALISTS IN THE INTER-CLASS BASEBALL TOURNAMENT 118 INTEC-fRATECNITy ATELETIO All inter-fraternity contests are of the elimination of tournament variety. This makes it possible to decide the champion in a limited time. Competition in minor sports included but golf and tennis. Golf was won by Phi Pi Phi. while the court championship was tucked away by Triangle. Baseball competition was extremely keen, all the teams taking a very high pitched interest in the sport. Phi Pi Phi finally won this fever-heat tournament. Track was initiated into the circle of inter-fraternity sports on Friday and Saturday of Junior Week. Phi Pi Phi. after a close race with Delta Tau Delta and Sigma Kappa Delta, emerged the victor. Yount of Phi Pi Phi was high point man, but was pressed for honors by Hansel and Sturm of Delta Tau Delta and Fox of Sigma Kappa Delta. The colorful Inter-fraternity Relay run on Circus Day, was also won by Phi Pi Phi. Perhaps the sport that arouses the greatest enthusiasm in inter-fraternity com- petition is basketball. In Armour’s small cigar l ox gym, the fraternity teams make a spirited elTort to take back to their respective houses the coveted cup. This honor went to Phi Pi Phi last year. The outstanding men of the various teams were Stellar and Jennings. Phi Pi Phi; Fee and Rowley, Theta Xi; Miran, Beta Psi; D. W. Smith, Phi Kappa Sigma; and Peterson and Kutteruf, Sigma Kappa Delta. WINNERS OF THE INTER-FRATERNITY RELAY 149 ! • PUBLICATION THE CYCLE 1929 The Cycle of 1929—to its readers merely a book pleasing or displeasing for what is in- scribed within its covers—to its staff a monu- ment. A monument that is two sided—to the readers a display of the talent and enter- prise of the staff—to the staff themselves the satisfaction of an obstacle overcome, a job completed. The editing of a college annual is not by any means a one man job. It is a job where- in one man holds the reins but who, by himself, would find his strength puny indeed were he to attempt to act single handed. It is the result of an organized cooperative effort on the part of the staff acting not singly, but as a whole. Troubles are not few, but neither are they insurmountable. Seemingly ever- living Hydras spring up where every stroke fells one difficulty only to uncover two others. By persistence and super-exertion alone (fan such situations be dealt with. This, briefly, is the task of the annual staff, also it is the solution—work and persistence. So has the staff of the 1929 Cycle labored and exerted itself during the past few months. At this time the staff is no more, the personnel has been dissolved, stalf members no longer hold such distinguishing titles, we exist now merely as a part of the milling mob, but we are satisfied, our work is done, its exertion past, its trials and tribulations existing only in our memories, the 1929 Cycle has been presented to its readers. We say goodbye as a staff and disappear into the crowd. 152 THE CYCLE 1929 E. PERCY BOYNTON THE 1 929 CYC L E S T A F F Boyden W. Hindman. E. Percy Boynton ... Preston E. Heath. .. Robert E.

THE 1929 CYCLE TAEF As the final act of our literary performance draws to its climax, and thoughts of efforts long past waver as they fade, in waning enthusiasm, with the realization that no matter what the judgment the effort was supreme, we are satisfied to welcome the finale. As thoughts of a deed well done close our spectacle we voice our appreciation to those who have so ably assisted us. For the contacts made with the faculty and officers of the Institute, the friendships formed, and the assistance and advice of persons not directly connected to the school, have helped, in no small way, to lighten our burden. To President Raymond, Dean Penn. Dean Palmer, and Mr. Allison for their eagerness and interest in the publication of the Cycle; to Professor Paul. Professor Finnegan, and Professor Peebles, the Faculty Board, for their unfailing cooperation and supervision; to Mr. Mathisson of the Standard Photo Engraving Company who was an infallible port in which to harbor our troubles when we encountered difficulties which seemed to us to bo insurmountable: To Mr. Gooder and Mr. Keller of the D. F. Keller Printing Company for the dignified, yet pleasing, appearance of the pages before you: To the Mabel Sykes Studio and especially to Mr. Miller, whose work warrants the reputation of artists: To every one that has so generously given of his time and energy for the pub- lication of this lxx)k, we extend one last but mighty voice of thanks. 154 KING, WILSON, BOOKER, JENS.

BERNHARD THE ARA4CIJR ENGINEER Magazines, it seems, may be likened to the individual enterprise, the partnership, or the corporation, accordingly as their management develops. After twenty years of evolution, the Armour Engineer has come to realize that it has been an individual enterprise. It has been guided always by one man, who has put into his volume an expression of his own person- ality. The result has been a constant develop- ment of a high quality product. Steadily the magazine has forged nearer the top among similar publications. Its pages have been en- livened, its attractiveness enhanced. Yet all this has been done only by the expenditure of much time and effort on the part of the editor. Too much time and effort, in fact, for although the benefits from all this work were many, they could not make up for the strain endured in the effort to complete routine class work, which in most cases was quite enough in itself. A Managing Board with both student and faculty members seemed to offer the solution. To unite quality and better management, attractiveness and con- tinuity, it was to be supreme in authority—to decide all questions, whether of editorial policy, business relations, or finances. It was to be responsible to the Presi- dent for the appearance and conduct of affairs of the magazine. Such was the plan. With the fall semester a constitution was drawn up and adopted and an organiza- tion chart was developed. It was not all smooth sailing, but the plan survived the first year so well that attention was given to a proposed increase in the publication schedule. The success of the plan cannot be fully judged now; the test of time must be applied. May the new form of organization prove sound and enduring. S T A F F L. F.

Its stall' has endeavored to the best of its ability to present a weekly publication which would approach the high standards demanded by the exacting reading public to which it caters, the students and faculty of Armour Tech. JOHN IIOMMKS In this endeavor the stafT has succeeded passably well, but it realizes, more so than the readers themselves, that it has far from at- tained the ultimate. Many mistakes, serious, and less serious, have crept into its work. How- ever, it holds that such mistakes are not be- cause of any inherent defect in the idea of a school newspaper at this college, but are simply occasioned by the fact that the stalT has been new and has worked without precedent. The Armour Tech News is now a “going concern.'’ It has proven its right to existence by refuting all arguments held out against it when it was first, proposed. The student body has demonstrated that it wants a newspaper, since it has sub- scribed to the extent of about 70 per cent for the present semester. The faculty has always supported it 100 per cent. The present staff of under-classmen, during the several weeks just passed, has demonstrated that it is capable of putting out the News without aid from the graduating seniors. All indications point to an exceedingly prosperous future for this newest of Tech’s publications. RUSSELL K. JOHNSON S T A F F John I Iommks......................Editor-in-chief Fred B.

In addition an increasing number of Freshmen and Sophomores attended the meetings. The branch is maintained for the purpose of promoting interest in electrical work and to get an insight into the practical side of the profession. With these thoughts in view a program for the year was arranged. 164 HACK HONS KING. CALABRESE. MacDONALD. SCHOFIELD. JACOB. EHRMEYER. JANISZKNYSKl. TRZYNA. DRIGOT. SGHAPER. DOLLENMAIER. MORFENSEN.

H. Sanabria of the Carter Radio Company, who spoke on “Television.” The branch was the host of the Lewis branch and the rest of Armour at a general assembly during the month of February. Mr. L. R. O’Roark of the Bell Telephone Laboratories, was the speaker. He spoke on the “talkies.” and presented a pro- gram of talking pictures. Two smokers have been held during the past year. Relaxation, almost reaching the stage of whoopee making, was the order of the evenings. Little thought of the morrow’s quizzes was able to penetrate the thick haze of powerful “seegars” at these functions. 165 Iiuilding, construction, and planning—the work of the Civil Engineer.

The Junior class has given its whole- hearted support in coming out to the meetings and showing their desire to take an active part in the atTairs of the society. The program committee, with the aid of several members of the faculty, suc- ceeded in bringing to the Institute several speakers of outstanding merit in the chemical engineering field. Several joint meetings were held with some of the other engineering societies, along with a few of the all-important business meetings. The first meeting of the society for the fiscal year was held on October the third, at which time the election of officers was held and plans for the coming year were made known. 168 TOP HOW PODLIPEC.

In accordance with the spirit of some of the well known “Fire Protects,” gambling games were resorted to as the major amusement of the evening. This included poker, craps, black jack, and a paddle wheel. The big sensation of the Smoker was caused by Mr. J. V. Parker, when he lost two thousand on three rolls of the dice. However, l eing a good loser he thought nothing of it, and drew out more script money on his unlimited band credit. The well known “Mike” of Underwriters’ Laboratories, broke up the crap game and won a cigar lighter for his efforts. Just to prove you win when you lose, the big loser for the evening was presented with a carton of cigarettes. Bill Berry wasted the afternoon building a bar of boards, blankets, and what not, over which was served good old fashion pop. So ended the Smoker with everyone sure that he would have won if 171 The arl of any aye lo fit the plans and specifications of a definite one.

In fact they are so far from the crowd that even Dean Palmer, when asked to the Annual Banquet of the Armour Architectural Society, denied knowledge of the said societ y. Nevertheless, in their stronghold at the Art Institute, enveloped in an atmosphere of culture and beauty and closely associated with the world of contemporary and classical art, they have achieved a fine spirit of cooperation and idealism. The Society was founded to foster this spirit and encourage a greater interest in all phases of the profession. The relationship of faculty to students and the relationships of the various classes are not to he found in any other department of Armour. In no other department do the professors and the students work together as closely for their mutual betterment and for the advance- 172 TOP HOW REHNSTROM. DURR ANT. RKRQUIST. BI.ASI. DkLONG.

This relationship, which is of such great benefit to the embryo-architects, while for the most part purely a drafting room arrangement, becomes under the influence of the society a social arrangement also. The annual banquet and initiation represents the social side of the association’s life. 'Phis year the affair was held Friday, March first. The entire afternoon was spent in impressing the Freshmen with their insignificance. The impression was made with many paddles. Following these rites the student body and most of the faculty of the Architectural Department gathered at the club rooms of the Chicago Sketch Club for the banquet. As a dinner it was a riot; a riot of fun, and of course there were the usual after dinner speeches from the guests of honor, Dean Palmer, Mr. Henry Penn, and members of the faculty, Messrs. Heald, Peterson, Hammet, Suter, and Hoffmeester. The evening was topped off with a musical program in the atelier. The only regret, looking back over a very successful year, is that there has not been time for more of the enjoyable meetings. 173 MUSICAL ©EGANIZATICNJ ARMCIJP TECH METICAL ELECT OFFICERS GEORGE II.

In deference to the policy of the club last year, it was decided to have but two concerts, instead of four, but these to l e as near to perfection as possible. That this idea was sound was shown in the Christmas concert, the entire student body and the faculty as well joined in loud and long applause for the efforts of the engineer musicians. A few of the effects which captured this praise were the entrancing solo work by one of the (dee Club men, and the novelty numbers as presented by the other three organizations. The musical clubs lost one of its most enthusiastic members upon the graduation of George Rezac at the mid-semesters. As leader of the orchestra and band he brought to the school a type of music that could be enjoyed by all. At the annual musical concerts his xylophone selections were a real treat and the audiences demanded many an encore. PROFESSOR LEIGH L E A D E R S Dr. Daniel Protheuoe.. Glee Club George A.

Music by one of these organizations always starts an assembly meeting with a bang, and seems to put the students in an acceptive mood for what is to follow. The musical climax of the year was the annual Home Concert given May 15. At this concert each of the Clubs put on a truly finished production. The Orchestra played numbers which in previous years it was afraid to attempt, the Band was marvelous, the Glee Club sang as it never sang before, and last but not least— Stresses and Strains would have been the envy of Paul Whiteman. Not only was the playing comparable to that of tin masters, but many novelty numbers and specialties were offered. A quartet of singers, individual numbers, special arrangements, singing numbers with the Stresses and Strains, and then the fraternity sing made this concert one not easily forgotten, or duplicated. With this display of the wares of Armour’s musical talent, the Clubs officially closed their season. GEORGE A. REZAC 177 CRCHC TCA George Rezac..... Donald L. Williams -- Leaders It seems to be the consensus of opinion that music and mathematics are two separate and distinct fields of endeavor, and further that an engineer possesses neither a musical soul nor the love of harmony. Be this as it may, the orchestra has endeavored to prove that there is music, little though it may seem, in the engineer. It has not been the aim of the orchestra to master the symphonies, but rather to play more tuneful music of a lighter vein, that is appreciated and pre- ferred by the engineer. Throughout the first semester the orchestra was under the capable leadership of George Rezac, during which time it made appearances at the various assemblies and the Christmas concert. At the mid-semester graduation George was forced to leave the orchestra and turn his leadership over to Don Williams, who has most successfully carried on the work. DONAI.I) L. WILLIAMS 178 15 AND George A. Rezac Frank J. Aste. .. Lea Hem The Band is one of the most appreciated of the musical organizations, and is it not justly so? What is a pep meeting without the “military-like” strains that issue forth from the blended instrumentation of a hand to excite and arouse the enthusiasm of a college group. The Band this year was weakened quite considerably, due to the graduation of some of its members, but new and promising material was gathered from the Freshman class, and soon this organization began to come back into its own. The band lost a capable leader in George Rezac when he finished school in mid- winter. He was succeeded by Frank Aste. This organization set to work this year to win new glory for itself by reproducing two overtures, which would do justice to any non-professional band. The individual members worked diligently and faithfully to accomplish the pleasing results obtained. After many weeks of drilling in the technique of playing while marching over the bumps of Federal Street, the band put on a snappy and well executed drill on Circus Day. 179 FRANK J. ASTE SCHRADER, JANKOWSKI, SMITH, BON VALLET, CRAIG, ABRAMSON, KJKLLGREN, B(M)KKH. ITCE E AND JTDAIN Edward Craig.............Leader When Stresses and Strains resumed its work this fall they found that two- thirds of the brass and reed sections had been lost. Last year a band of about twelve pieces executed some very difficult arrangements of the classics. Because of the lack of material the organization was reduced to seven pieces. These seven men have advanced further into the field of ‘‘Symphonic Jazz” and “Modern Rhythmic” arrangements than was expected of an organization of its size. It may be said that the men in this organization are not exponents of jazz in that old sense of “More Noise. Less Music,” but are in favor of, and arc playing a modern style of music. They believe that by playing a better type of dance music for an audience they can further help the cause. For jazz can only be killed by let- ting the people hear that refined syncopation until they learn to appreciate and to prefer it to that “Hoop Skirt Dance Music,” jazz.

GLEE CLUE Dr. Daniel Protheroe...........................Leader Under the able direction of so great a leader, Dr. Daniel Protheroe, the talented singers of Armour Tech end a year full of many triumphs. Their excellent per- formances have caused prolonged applause for themselves and their distinguished leader. The members have worked diligently to attain the wonderful tone quali- ties and shading effects that have been brought about. Naturally, under Dr. Protheroe’s selection, the numbers given by the Glee Club have been more or less classically inclined. To aid this, a quartet was formed and excellent performances were enjoyed. Two concerts were given this year in which the club took part. These were the Christmas in which several delightful carols were presented which aptly expressed the spirit of the season; and the home concert, which is the biggest single activity in the entire school year and which was well attended by an appreciative audi- ence. The control held by Dr. Protheroe showed an immense amount of work had been put on the concert by both the Club and the director. DR.PROTHEnOE CLL EI FRONT ROW—COE. LUCCHETTI, SQUIRES. FOX.

The old set was revamped and 9NY was again on the air, determined to surpass the old record set by club members in previous years. Monday, December the ninth, a joint meeting of the A.I.E.E. and A.R.A. was addressed by Mr. U. G. Sanabria of the Carter Radio Company, who discussed television in theory and practice. Mr. Sanabria left a television set at the radio station, where it was set up for inspection by both students and faculty members. Students interested in short wave transmission are most heartily welcomed to inspect the station. 184 TOP HOW TIMMERMA NS, ROSS. BARMAN. GAMBLE. CORNWELLY, IIORRAS. ONC. BERNHARD- GOLBER. MECK.

In this object it has succeeded very well. When it has worked up enthusiasm for the publications and brought out a large number of recruits for the respective staffs, these enlarged staffs automatically continued the work of obtaining and training these new men. One of the more recent results which may be attributed in part to the enthusiasm worked up by the Press Club, is the founding of the Armour Tech News. During the past year Press Club has been rather inactive and its work has been left more to the stalls of the various publications. This, however, has been quite a handicap and the old system w ill be reinstated next year. 185 TOP HOW -SHOAN. KGAN. TROONITZ. ATTWOOD. STEINKRT. LATHAM. FI ALA. ZOLAD. FRONT HOW -RUZIvVICH, TAHMAN.

Zolad Flask and Beaker, the local professional chemical club, has enjoyed a year of prosperity and expansion. A complete reorganization has been effected and indi- cations are that the club will soon exceed the expectations of its founders. Evidence of its activities may be gathered from the series of smokers, banquets, and theater parties held throughout the year. The primary object of the organization, the furthering of good fellowship among the students of the Chemical Engineering Department and the sponsoring of professional contacts, indicate that it fulfills a definite need at Armour. 186 FRONT ROW FARR FIX.

Through the efforts of the manager, George Heller, rifle matches were secured with the following organizations: Lane Tech, Crane Tech College, St. John’s College. New York Stock Exchange, Culver Military Academy. Washington I niversity, and the Illinois Bell Telephone Company. The most notable match was with the Culver Military Academy Team, at Culver, Indiana. Although the Armour Team lost, they had a wonderful time as guests of the academy. Due to the increased membership and financial success of the organization the club was able to add to its present equipment another high grade target rifle. With the precision of the new rifle, the club has been able to bring up its average considerably. During this semester alone over 10,000 rounds of ammunition have been fired on the range. 187 TOP ROW—BOULA. MARKHAM. MOHR. WILLIAMS, DUSBERGER.

TCUfX CLUB The Truss Club was organized in November, 1921, by a group of seniors in the Civil engineering Department, who felt that the ideals of friendship and the spirit of fellowship they sought could be realized best by the organization of such a club. The spirit of cooperation and congeniality implanted by the founders has thrived and is very strong among our active members and alumni. As a result, the year 1928-1929 has been a most pleasant and prosperous one. The afFairs of the club have been established upon a firm foundation, the membership has in- creased and the quarters have been improved. The social calendar for the past year has been full of many delightful get- togethers. The outstanding events were a banquet at the Edgcwater Beach Hotel in December; a dinner at Henrici’s for active members and alumni; the Founder’s Banquet at the Brevoort Hotel in January; and a banquet late in the spring. The Truss Club looks forward to the coming year with a set determination to make it a banner year, both in scholarship and in activity. 188 REAR ROW— KUGLIN. FREUNDT, MEYER.

CAMPUI CLUE The Armour Tech Campus Club, an outgrowth of the Y.M.C.A., assumed its present organization in 1927. Club rooms are maintained in Chapin Hall, pro- viding facilities for noon hour gatherings. A Freshman handshake was held last fall for the purpose of acquainting the new’ class with the rest of the student body. With the assistance of the fraterni- ties, an interesting program was carried out, followed by a light lunch of cider and doughnuts. Later in the year several smokers were given at which an increasing number of Freshmen and Sophomores took part. During the past year baseball and basketball games were scheduled with other campus organizations, the baseball team coming through undefeated. The club is primarily a social organization and offers the use of its facilities to the active student body with a most cordial welcome. 189 I I HCNCCARy fCATECNITIE TAU BETA PI H 0 N 0 R A R Y ENGINEERING Founded at Lehigh University 1883 BETA CHAPTER OF ILLINOIS Established 1906 Fifty-six Active Chapters HONORARY M E M BE R S Howard M.

The staff have pulled their wool, scratched I heir heads, in fact they have tried all of the stunts so well known to the comics to indicate an attempt at concentra- tion. Has it all been in vain? Has the engineering knowledge we have absorbed made us think along such concrete lines that we are unable to toss aside any un- real or abstract matter? If so. this section must be considered as a total loss as it is a well known fact that to take humor too seriously is to have a complete mis- understanding of it. With this in mind we hope and pray that you, our readers, are not too practical. In presenting this section of the 1929 Cycle to our reading public it is with numerous apologies. Apologies to those who have received the royal razzberry as well as those whom we have slighted. We do not claim to have written on the funniest happenstances of the year, nor to have picked out the proper person- ages for the objects of our attempt at mirth making. However, we do hope that the following pages will lx received in the same manner they were written—in the spirit of fun, with no hard feelings for any concerned. Take it or leave it— it is the best we have to olTer. 255 THE HEAVY RUSHERS One of the fraternities at Armour is rather peculiar in their methods of doing business. Their membership is restricted to the men of one nationality, the Royal Sons of Sweden. If your name is Johnson no questions are asked, if not, a reasonable down payment is expected and required. However, this year the Beta Psi’s have been rather lenient and have dropped their regulating barriers slightly. After the regular rushing season was over an ad was placed in a prominent Swedish newspaper requesting that all blondes call at once for their pledge buttons. No questions were to be asked except proof of citizenship in that grand old nation of blondes (peroxide or blue eyed). This was rather unusual as it allowed all Swedes to become members rather than just the Johnsons. In order that our readers will not think wrongly of this group we wish to state that all applicants are not accepted. They do reject some men but such has not been the case since the fall of 1776. The time is coming when the Beta Psi’s will be in a terrible predicament and unless the present measures fail they will have to be satisfied with less than their usual quota of nineteen men from next year’s rushing. Rumor has it that the other fraternities on the campus are planning a campaign where there will be a “freezing out” of the club known as Beta Psi. This action is in conjunction with the government whereby the immigration quota from Sweden and Minnesota will be reduced to a very small percentage of its former figure. Too bad boys, you’ll have to pic k another nationality or pass new laws governing rushing. 256 “Say, Brown, when do you think we should get out another edition of the Armour Engineer?” quoth I he editor, known as Bernhard. “Well, let’s see; this is March, isn’t it? Under those circumstances I think we should make the Christmas issue come out by June.” “That's a good idea, we will start to work on it in a couple weeks,” said Bern- hard yawning. “One thing we’ve got to do is cut down on expenses, I’m running short of cash now.” (About the only benefit the editor and business manager receive from their respective jobs is that the money derived keeps Bernhard in cigarettes and Brown in school.) “Let’s make our own cuts; get about a yard of linoleum and sharpen up your pen knife. I’m sure we can do as good a job of it as our engraver.” “Yes, but how about news, ads, articles and all such things? We must have a few pages between the covers of the book.” “That’s O.K.,” replied the ever ready editor, “we have a complete file of every- thing that has been printed in the Engineer for the last seven or eight years. No one is in school now who saw that stuff, except the profs and they never read it anyway, so I guess its safe enough to use”. “Fine, it won’t make any difference how much we have in it, just so we keep the covers the same distance apart.” “Easy, we can make every other page blank and run in a couple pages of want ads from this newspaper I found on the ‘L’ this morning.” “Another way to cut down would be to have about a hundred copies printed; the Freshmen are the only ones who ever call for it and they haven’t learned the ropes as yet,” replied Brown. And so another edition of the Armour Engineer was planned, and planned, and planned----------------- 257 Definition—from Webster's Inter Collegiate Dictionary. Campus Club—A political organization. Probably the largest and best oiled piece of political machinery Armour has ever known is the organization called Campus Club. Their organization functions with such originality of ideas and methods that the governing body of the United States would do well to visit them to make a study of their methods and procedures in conducting a meeting and dispension of business. Congress has always had difficulty in conducting their sessions, so, to overcome this, we refer them to this wonderful organization as a means of obtaining knowledge along the lines of parliamentary law. Anything called politics is their meat. In fact, if a contest were held to determine the “biggest fool on the campus,” we firmly believe they would oil up their ma- chine for no other reason than to prove they are still a factor to be considered in any political squabble. In order to further their cause it is not unusual for them to take in some less fortunate organization. This, of course, for no other reason than to give the less fortunates a break. A certain “upishness” has been noticed on the part of some of the members lately. This is rather hard to understand. Apparently there is no justifiable reason, but the Cycle placed a man on the job to get the “low down”; however, the task has proved to be rather lengthy and we are unable to disclose the results. Time does not permit our waiting longer; the Cycle must be out on time. 258 UP IN THE AIR One morning early last March, Professor Holmes decided to give his class in Fire Insurance Schedules a quiz. It happened that the day he set for the quiz was extremely windy; fate was with the students. After the quiz, Professor Holmes tucked the little quiz books under his arm and started out the front door of one of the entrances to Chapin Hall. As he opened the outside door, the playful wind seemed to gain in fierceness, catching the quiz books he held under his arm and sending them sailing into the air along Federal Street. Professor Holmes, like the good little lad he is, started in pursuit of the flying epistles, because he knew if he did not capture the little booklets, he would have to pass every member in the class and this would never do, for the students were exceedingly dumb along the lines of insurance; he simply had to get them back. Running madly to and fro, chasing orange bits of paper up and down the street, he was cheered by the students of his class for his efforts, but all of them silently prayed that he would be unsuccessful in his attempt; and he was. Judging from the number of good grades in the course, quite a few of the yellow- backs must have reached the happy hunting ground before their time. And so, my children, never curse the weather man—it may be for someone’s benefit. “It never pays to grumble and complain. It’s just as cheap and easy to rejoice. When God sorts out the weather and sends rain— Why, rain’s my choice.” 259 THE SIGMA KAPS LEAVE TOWN Did it ever occur to you that it is rather strange for a fraternity to change its location suddenly? It did to us and in order to satisfy our curiosity a Freshman, having had previous experience with the Getum Detective Agency, was delegated to the task of uncovering the true story. After working night and day for three weeks our Herlock Sholmes discovered the Ethiopian who had concealed himself in a stack of lumber. It was a case of necessity. Ever since they first moved into their new house at 3661 Michigan, they had trouble with the landlord about the nonpayment of the rent. They had accumu- lated a bill of the same general proportions of the allied war debt. Further stalling would net them nothing. A second reason was difficulty in getting along with their neighbors. For some uncanny reason they were unable to harmonize, and were not accepted as they hoped to be. This was a great blow to their pride and in itself would have been sufficient cause for moving. Hut to top it all off was the sad blow dealt by graduation last June. It seems that the school authorities became tired of looking at the same faces year after year and dismissed several of their star track men. This was a terrible blow, as it was only the track men who were able to get back in time for their one o’clock classes. Six men almost pledged, but the car broke down and they were forced to walk the other two miles to school. All, it is a sad and pathetic plight which we hate to disclose, but it must be done—it MUST be done—yellow journalism demands it. 260 A CLASS WITH JOHN Shiftlessness is not at all uncommon at Armour, but perhaps the prize bouquet goes to the Junior Fire Protect class. According to John Schommer, their instructor in Industrial Chemistry, they are the most obstinate bunch and the hardest to “round up” in the class room that he has ever known. Were John to take the roll from the curb stone outside the entrance to the Mission, undoubtedly the percentage present at nine-thirty would be far in excess of its usual number. To drag one of them into the class room before they are absolutely certain that John will show up is a task next to impossibility—a feat for an unusually husky pair of horses. Of late, however, a few of them will wander casually into the room and post themselves at the windows where the appearance of John can be detected at the earliest possible moment. If from their points of vantage the lookouts spot the lumbering form of their dear teacher the call of the wild is given to the rest of the tribe who hot foot it for the back stairway. In this way they are able to beat John to the room by at least time enough to take their hats off and to ask their neighbor if he has written up the last lecture. Such a procedure is very satisfactory from the fact that they take turns at the lookout job. This means that only one man is forced to expend the energy of uselessly climbing the stairs. A professor is usually allowed ten minutes to get to his classes. In order to be perfectly fair and square, the same time is allowed John, but overtime is unheard of. At the exact stroke of nine-forty the earth opens and thirty J unior Fire Protects are swallowed up, only to appear on the curb stone on the day of the next scheduled class. 261 CUT AND DELT Have you ever stopped to think why the Delts are so very careful about their personal appearance? Why are they always tying their tie, pressing their trousers or some other trifling matter that is of no importance to an engineer? Perhaps it is because they are trained to be that way when they are pledges. The next time you see two Delts greet each other on the campus, or any other place for that matter, watch them closely; you may learn something—yes, maybe. The only requirement for initiation the Delta Tail Delta organization is that the candidate have social abilities, or ambitions, and carry with him the latest copy of “The Well Dressed Man,” which is published by their Grand Chapter and which all members are expected to follow. It is required in their constitution that every member carry a pocket mirror, comb and compact; these articles to be within easy reach at all times. When rushing season opens, a special meeting is held, the Freshman class having been looked over and divided into groups—those who would make lovely Delt men and those they will accept if the other fraternities get their man before they do. A Freshman, to become a Delt, must be well dressed, comb his hair in a certain way, and must continuously be humping his shoulders to keep his coat in such a position that none of the collar of the shirt will be showing when viewed from the rear. The Freshman prospect must also be a good looking boy, although, they have slipped up somewhat on this requirement in several well-known cases. Too bad, frosh—learn to tie your tie with a large knot. 262 jJOOST our advertisers. The cycle of advertising is an important one to an annual. An answered ad means a satisfied advertiser, a satis- fied advertiser a repetition of that ad with its revenue to the annual, added revenue a finer hook.

Club Motto: If “opinions” we’re asked to express, “There’s one thing we don’t know”, we confess. Club Flower “Pansy”—The Flower of the campus. “In union there is strength.” That is the secret of our organization! The formation of this new club at Armour was out of necessity. Day by day our dear professor baffled us with embarrassing questions and tedious figures with no curves to them; nothing but straight lines—that was our chief objection! Consequently, after failing to get the proverbial “drag” (psp-psp), we felt the urge of organized “lack of labor.” It was our intention in the formation of this club, to set an example whereby future draftsmen, street-cleaners, and potential professors of the underclassmen could look down upon us with just pride and follow our footsteps in carrying on the work “thus far so nobly advanced.” Many over-burdened students have, no doubt, realized the need for such an organization as this, but we are the pioneers in its formation. We are confident that if a few of its advantages are here mentioned a great clamor for membership will follow. A few of the numerous advantages are: 1. No home work is done, and consequently every evening is free. 2. Since one will have no problems to submit, class attendance will not be essential. 3. Guessing and worrying over semester grades will not be necessary, for one will know them beforehand. 4. A considerable saving can be made on paper, which can now be used for other purposes. 264 265 RUSHING DELUX A young chap walked up to the door of the T. X. house some time ago and proudly placed his finger on the little brass, or near brass, door bell and pushed very hard, because he knew the failing of most door bells. After tedious waiting (the Freshmen were busy bawling out the upperclassmen), a scurvy-looking fellow opened the door and bade the stranger enter. “ May I be so bold as to ask the name of the one who honors us with his presence?” inquired the president of the club. “My name is Ivan Kanstanovitchsky and I want to join your club,” replied the stranger in a rough voice. “Certainly,” returned the chief stew, “By all means. Let me take your coat and hat,” and so saying, he took the stranger’s hat and coat and deliberately threw them in a corner of the room, which was very dusty and dirty from many month's accumulation of filth. Imagine the stranger’s embarrassment when he saw the treatment given his new spring outfit, which had cost him twelve ninety- eight. “So you want to join our club,” resumed the head gangster. Well, your name and nationality are O.K., but tell me, how much money have you in the bank?” “Not very much—only about ten or twelve dollars.” “I see. Under those circumstances we can not possibly allow you membership in our club, as every member must feel his dignity and realize that this is no ordinary organization.” (Right he was. It is the most extraordinary one we have ever seen.) “Well, I can get some money if you want me to,” said the bright young chap. “Then will you take me in?” “Gladly—with arms outstretched,” exclaimed the big Monkey-Monk. When will you be able to secure this money?” “Tonight, after everyone is asleep,” whispered the stranger, and he glanced around as he spoke. 266 “Oh-ho,” shouted the Big Beer Baron, then jumping to his feet, he loudly exclaimed, Bretheren. Bretheren. Come one, come all and greet our new brother.” Then into the room came running the whole crew and when they saw their brother standing there with a broad smile on his face, they immediately fell on his neck and wept l)ecause they knew what a wonderfully brave and noble brother he would make. So the very next day theT.X. house was honored with the presence of another gangster. And by the way, do you remember some time ago when the school was robbed of all its cash ? We wonder if this could mean the start of another foolish frosh along the ill- famed road of “T.Xism.” The cover for this annual was created by The DAVID J. MOLLOY CO. 2857 N.

Co INC Class Rings and Pins Fraternity Jewelry CHICAGO 267 Phone State 6393 159 North State Street THE STORY OF A LOST TREASURE Early in the spring there was quite a scare among the members of the Phi Pi Phi Fraternity. So great was their anger that they threatened the life of every student along Boul Mich in attempting, by the use of drastic measures, to regain possession of the thing that meant the most in the longevity of their order. As a matter of explanation, someone had an exceedingly brilliant idea which, in this instance, might be attributed to a dull brained individual, that he or they (we would not think of exposing him or them, even though we know his or their names) would steal, perhaps remove sounds better, the sign from the Phi Pi fra- ternity house, and by so doing, cause grave fears for its safety. It was removed during the night, and as the members were in the habit of bowing to it every morning before they dared eat, its absence, of course, was immediately discovered and the first one came running into the house yelling very ungentlemanly. “Oh, Oh. Our beloved sign has been lifted from our boarding house front porch. What shall we do? 1 am worried as to its safety and fear the bad person who stole it will not care for it after the manner of our devoted pledges. Oh. what a cruel person to take our sign. If I had that ruffian here this very minute I would call ‘Fie, Fie’ upon him; I would spit at him—why, I would even tweak his nose.” “This is terrible and I am sure we will apprehend the bad man who is responsible,” cried one of the crowd, and it really was a crowd, for the Phi Pi chapter roll re- sembles the payroll of the County Prison. It was noticed that one of the members of the 100 (101 to 800) was thinking, whereupon all were silent. “Eureka,” he cried, “I have found it.” “Found what?”, was the answer. 268 “The solution to the mystery. Listen, you guys. The Phi Kaps are having hell week and this is a good time for them to be doing such things so they must be responsible for this outrage. Assemble the Royal Calling Committee; we must act at once. After calling roll in record breaking time of 47 minutes they hastened out of the house and clambered into the specially designed squad cars equipped with machine and riot guns. With sirens shrieking the yelling mob pulled up in front of the Phi Kap house. They burst into the house like so many cattle and stood around with their guns in their hands menacing the helpless Phi Kaps. In loud voices they demanded that their sign be returned. After much persuasion they were convinced the Phi Kaps did not have their sign so they reluctantly and disgustedly left. Upon arriving at their house they discovered someone had l een playing a joke on them because there in its regular place was the little sign gleaming brightly in the morning sun and still doing its duty of re- minding the public to “KKEP OFF THE GRASS.” ELITE LAUNDRY COMPANY LAUNDERERS AND DRY CLEANERS Buttons Replaced Sox Darned 219 E. 35th Street 3820 Indiana Avenue Tel.

Place: Office of the Armour News. The eminent Mr. John Homines is seated at his desk, a five cent cigar in his mouth and his feet propped up on the polished surface of the expensive near- mahogany desk. A gentle wind is blowing in the window, catching his beautiful curly red hair, waving it around like so many red streamers. As he sits there, lovingly fondling the numerous keys on his watch chain and wondering how he will be able to obtain some more of the pretty little brass trinkets, huge clouds of deep blue smoke come from his “ring the bell” rope. Every now and then he expectorates halfway across the room into a large brass galx on. lifted from one of the cheaper hotels on the South side (for men only). The door bursts open and in rushes a reporter. “Hi, Chief. Here is some great news.” “Spring it.” “A new Dean has been selected.” “That’s not news,” shouts the editor, jumping to his feet and throwing a paper weight at the cringing reporter. “Get out and get me some real news or there will be trouble.” Homines then paces the floor, chewing violently at the stub of his now almost forgotten cigar. He had nearly swallowed it, but the band played “The Star Spangled Banner,” causing his hair to stand up and bringing his mind back to his smoking. The door opens on his Advertising Manager. “Chief, we are short some ads this time and it is almost time to go to press. What is your Royal Highness’ opinion?” “Never let our public know we are not successful; run some anyway.” Exit the A. M. Enter the Business Manager (commonly called “The Senator.”) He walks languidly to a chair, places his four-year-old black hat on the desk and hoists his feet to a position somewhat above his head, balancing on two legs of his chair. “Chief,” he drawls lazily, “It might interest you to know that George Sinclair Allison has purchased a ten-year subscription to the News.” All fall dead.
