I OMPILED ««I EDITED E JOPN B. DAVIS, EDITOR, W WM. A. CHAPIN, JR„ BUSINESS MGR. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS In harmony with the traditions of our school, this Cycle of 1936 is dedicated to a man who has striven consistently for the best interests of the publications. In Joseph Bernard Finnegan the Board of Publica- tions has found a loyal and helpful friend. And likewise, the students of the Armour Institute of Tech- nology have learned to appreciate him as a sincere and constructive critic, a staunch idealist who has labored painstakingly through the medium of the students to develop for them the tools which they will utilize for their own culture. w We. the staff of the Cycle of 1936, give to you this book, the living chronicle of this year just past. Many pictorial memories were garnered by busy cam- eras. The outstanding social and ath- letic events have been here recorded. Personalities have been captured and incidents recounted. To the Seniors this record of the climax of their four years' endeavor is dear, for it invokes pictures of friends, of classroom activities, and of extra-curricular pleasures. As they go out into life they take it with them as a concrete symbol of their college careers. To you who are left behind we hope it will live as the story of an eventful year. To you who have gone before we hope it will revive memories of college life . . . pictures of friends ... of school activi- ties ... of intramural rivalries. To you all . . . we present . . . THE CYCLE OF 1936. COLLEGE CAMPUS LIEE SPORTS CAMPUS GROUPS n W I THE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE Armour history will record this year as the one in which the new engineering shops were inaugurated under Dr. Pearl; the year in which a committee of Chicago architects, with John Holabird as chairman, lent its powerful support to a significant move to bring architectural teaching and practice closer together; the year in which the Armour Trustee, General Thomas S. Hammond, President of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association, together with other leaders in that Association and in the Metal Trades' Association, as well as numerous school authorities, joined forces with us in starting the Co-operative Course. History will also record this as the year in which the new comprehensive evening school program came into its stride, the year in which graduate study and research became important items in current operation. The action of the Faculty Council which resulted in an Administrative Graduate Committee, with Professor Freud as chairman, and the underwriting of a research fellowship by the Universal Oil Products Company, with Dr. Komarewsky as fellow, are likely in future years to be recorded as milestones in Armour's progress. Reference to the opportunities for special financing contained in the President's published report suggests the range of both our educational and our financial objectives. We are not waiting for ideal conditions before starting specific projects and there are a number of promising activities that are not yet ripe for incorporation into a published record of events. The key to our approach to long-time objectives is a closer tie-in with the groups of industries in which Armour men are employed, and we are finding that the service performed by graduates is only one of many ways in which Armour is in position to serve industry. Contacts with industry, and especially with industrial research, are multiplying the proofs of Armour's place in the industrial progress of Chicago. That there are challenging difficulties in the way of realizing our opportunities to the full cannot be gainsaid, but progress is unmistakable, and developments, especially during the past year, have called forth responses which indicate clearly that Armour is on the way. THE DEAN OF THE COLLEGE Looking back at conditions in industry during the past six years, we seem amply justified in facing the future with a high degree of optimism. Three years ago the young engineering graduate had little prospect of being able to secure a foothold in his profession, and there often followed a period of inactivity, discouragement, and disillusionment. The graduate fortunate enough to secure employment was forced to be satisfied with an extremely low salary and little opportunity to secure good professional experience. Engineers, in common with members of the other learned professions, found themselves forced to give up many advances in professional standing, although the percentage of unemployed engineers was always lov er than for other college graduates. At the present time, we can already predict a perfectly normal demand for technically trained men in the near future. An increase in industrial activity has created anew the demand for young engineers in many fields of business. Personnel representatives of large companies are once again contacting the colleges and practically all the backlog of unemployed graduates of earlier years has been absorbed. Some of the normal fields of engineering activity are still somewhat inactive, notably construction, where little private work is being done, but others are taking their place. As engineering employment increases, salaries will return to something like a normal basis although it will in all probability require several years to recover the losses of the depression period. Competition among engineers will be keen, probably keener than during the predepression period. Many industries today are expecting a higher degree of proficiency than ever before. Post-graduate study in engineer- ing has received a tremendous impetus since 1930, and many executives realize the value of this advanced work. The three most important qualities in an engineer are expertness, personality, and character. The en- gineering graduate who ceases to develop as soon as he receives his diploma can scarcely expect to accomplish much in our highly competitive society. The successful engineer of the future will be the man v ho continually strives to increase his knowledge, develop his personality, and strengthen his character. JAMES D.

Murrey Hughes Numbering the largest class ever enrolled at Armour Institute of Technology, the Class of 1936 has reached its goal: Graduation. Strengthened and developed through four years of daily associa- tions, the same strong spirit of activity and comradeship that bound us together in 1932 prevails among us in 1936. Our entire lives have been influenced by the contacts made, and true friendships have been established that will endure through life. Four years ago, three hundred and thirteen freshmen started out with an engineering education and career as their aim. Our work started immediately and we wore soon busily engaged in the strenuous duties of the year. A memorable break in the routine occurred on October 20, 1932, when we attended the great Armour Alumni Reunion Banquet at the Naval Reserve Armory. It was in February of our freshman year that Dr. Willard E. Hotchkiss became president of Armour Institute. The major social event of the year was the Frosh-Soph Informal at the Medinah Club. Minor clashes with upper classmen marked the beginning of our part in Junior Week, when, in the Class Rush, we overwhelmed the Class of ”35” with a 50-0 victory. In addition, our interclass baseball team succeeded in defeating all other teams for the Interclass Baseball Championship of the year. Outside activities, however, were limited, and the greatest part of our time and energy during the freshman year was spent in acquiring correct methods of study and applying them. When we became sophomores, we began to realize that there were much broader fields of activity than mere curricular pursuits. In spite of the increased difficulty of our schoolwork, many of us became members of athletic teams, assisted the staffs of some of the publications, or joined the musical organizations. As a result of our class activity, the tradition regarding the wearing of green caps was developed, and we were the first to enforce it vigorously. The Class of 36 established the precedent of obtaining class jackets in the sophomore year instead of in the senior year, as was done formerly. As a fitting close to an all-around successful year.

Sumner - 24 - SENIORS we upset tradition to become the third class in the history of the Institute to defeat the freshmen in the Class Rush. On the whole, the sophomore year prepared us excellently, both in studies and activities, to carry on throughout the remaining years. Our studies during the junior year were more directly as- sociated with our individual departments; applications of our newly acquired training toward our new problems occupied our primary interest. Enjoyment of pure engineering studies in our respective courses led us to further contacts with actual work in the field, when we became associated with the various engineering societies. The Junior Informal fulfilled all anticipations for an outstanding social event and far surpassed any previously set standards. In- creased efforts in outside activities and continued high quality of school work gained for certain juniors election to one or more of the honorary fraternities. Exceeding our highest expectations, the Junior Formal furnished a never to be forgotten climax to the most complete year of our college life. Continuing along specialized lines, our senior studies ac- quainted us with both the economic and technical aspects of the engineering field. Many of us were rewarded for our past efforts by gaining executive positions in the engineering societies; on the publications staffs; in the musical organizations; and on athletic teams. Our social activities were renewed with the Senior Informal Dance, which met all the standards previously set by our class for fine dances. Although many who started with us were forced to drop out, diminishing our numbers appreciably, we constitute one of the largest graduating classes of the Institute. The Baccalaureate Sermon, followed by Commencement, im- presses us more fully that we have achieved the first goal of our lives, and that we must be prepared to assume new duties and greater responsibilities. It is difficult to express the feeling of regret with which we leave, cherishing the memories of true friendships, and we can only hope that we may prove worthy alumni of Armour. Harry R.

The selection of these ten men is made in accordance with a definite grading system set up by the Armour Tech Athletic Association and is under the jurisdiction of the Board of Athletic Control, the managing board of the Armour Tech Athletic Association. This grading system takes into account scholastic ability, athletic prowess, and leadership in school activities. These ten men are considered to have done more for Armour in advancing school spirit than any others in the Class of 1936 and are known as the Honor Edition Award Men. Emil Adamec William D.

Illinois - 41 - JUNIORS Spring, an open fireplace with the evening fire glowing forth warmly, and a group of Juniors gathered about thinking of that final spring one short year ahead when college life ends and there remain only memories: the fire seems three-quarters burned and as we look through the flames, our college career opens its door for perhaps one last glimpse of its events. As we glance at the hearth v e see that some of the coals have dropped from the grate before they burned. From time to time, hov ever, others have been added until the fire of our college life bums on unabated. As smoke accompanies a new fire, so we, as freshmen, entered Armour; bewildered, undecided, yet unafraid, we hesitated but slightly and plunged forward into our job to prepare us for jobs. At our first social event, the freshman handshake, we met those who had successfully passed that fQggy, smoky first year. If they can do it, we can! became our philosophy and as the fire began to catch and burn, We did! Rush week, Thanksgiving and Christ- mas vacations were delightful respites from the grind, and our first college finals were a never to be forgotten experience. The new start, the first big Freshman-Sophomore Dance, hell week for the fraternity pledges, and rumors of that much talked of, as yet unex- perienced, Junior Week, helped open up the second semester. That v eek of games and competition most certainly lived up to our ex- pectations with the one disappointment that we lost the class rush to an equal number of better organized sophomores. Sophomores at last! Now we can hold the freshmen under thumb! These were our first thoughts on entering the second year after a refreshing summer vacation. On second thought we found that we had to apply our first year knowledge in solving our second year problems, and we had to work hard to keep abreast of the grade book. During the sophomore year v e strengthened early friendships and made many new ones. The Class of 1937 did not excell in inter-class competition and activities but there v ere any number of individuals who were out- standing in their fields of endeavor and these kept the class in the news. Tradition was made that year when the Class of 37 pre- sented two dances; the first in February in conjunction with the Freshman Class in the Bal Tabarin of the Sherman Hotel, and the Joseph F. Bartusek President Earle H. Brink Roy J. Magnuson William A Chapin, Jr. Charles Saletta • 42 - JUNIORS second, just alter final examinations in June at the Edgewater Beach Hotel. Junior Week came and with it all its attendant games and con- tests and v e redeemed ourselves in the eyes of the school by winning the rush. Though the work was harder, our abilities were greater and only a few of the coals in the grate burned, smouldered, and dropped out. After a summer during which some of us had our first ex perience in working with the outside world, we returned to school —some gladly, some reluctantly, but all with a will to work harder and to co-operate more closely with their fellow students. Here that flame of our college careers, burning brightly, separated into many parts. Most of our studies centered about departmental interests and, as one student put it, We are just beginning to find out what we've been wanting to learn for two years. We applied, during the Junior year, the fundamental essentials which we had learned in the previous semesters. In an honest attempt to completely do av ay with departmental politics which had already had a start, the members of the Class of 37 at their first meeting, almost unanimously selected a commis sion form of government. The class president was elected in an open vote and departmental representatives were elected by the members of each department. The commission acting as the social committee sponsored two fine dances: the annual Junior Informal Dance, in the Boulevard Room of the Stevens Hotel, and the Junior Formal held during Junior Week. A closer bond of fellowship and responsibility between departments was the result of this new system. Our three years of happy study at Armour are nearly gone, and though much smoke has gone up the chimney, the fires in the fireplace are burning steadily. When the flames die, who can tell where the embers will drop? Who knows what direction the smoke will take? To be sure, for a short time it is directed up the chimney but no one knows where it goes from there. And so with the end of our college careers; for a short time we will be guided by what we've studied, in our new jobs. After that we will take advantage of whatever comes along. Some of the knowledge we will use and build up, more will be stored away in the background, perhaps never to be used again. Jack C. Stern Lewis E.

Priesmeyer Vice-President Cider and Doughnut Line at the Freshman Handshake Sophisticated Sophomores! From the lowest of all forms of college life, freshmen, to the height of sophistication all in one sum- mer. This momentous step, which comes to everyone in his four years of college life, has just been taken by the class of 38. As freshmen, they were irresponsible, fun-loving youngsters who were out to find some of the notorious college life. In the quest for this elusive aspect, they made friendships which will be remembered for the rest of their lives and which served to bind the class into one solid unit. The first important event of the year was, as always, the elec- tion of officers for the ensuing term. Political organizations were soon built up among the different departments and groups which served to add a great deal of interest and competition to an event which had heretofore been dull. In the actual voting, results were so close that it was not known until the last minute who had been elected. Shortly after this, many of the members of the class awoke to the fact that a new group of freshmen had entered school and were a bit lax in the wearing of green hats. Still remembering the tutor- ing of the year before, they took up the task of instructing these men. This proved to be no easy job, but with characteristic vigor, the Sophs plunged into the job at hand and achieved very satis- factory results. With the coming of Thanksgiving, however, this diversion had to be abandoned. Thoughts were turned to the more serious matters of calculus, mechanics, and physics. The coming of the mid-term Valentines, though, may have had something to do with this sudden effort. The Thirty-eighters v ere not too busy, however, and found some time to devote to interclass athletics. The showing was one of the finest and they nobly upheld the high standard that they set - 46 - The Sophomores Have Their Pictures Taken For The Cycle - SOPHOMORES (or themselves in their freshman year. The interclass athletics are started off each year by the basketball games. This title was taken by the class in the year before and was defended successfully this year. They defeated the freshman team in the first encounter and beat the upperclassmen by an overwhelming score in the final match. As defending champions in the track meet, they again came through and won. Aside from this, many of the members have shown superior prowess in the field of varsity sports. During the first semester, the social activities of the class were at a standstill due to the Overwhelming number of activities spon sored by clubs and the other classes. With the coming of the new semester, however, things began to move and the first dance of the year was held on March 13. The beautiful Lake Shore Athletic Club, coupled with the scintillating music of Johnny Woodward and his orchestra, furnished a delightful atmosphere for complete enjoy- ment. A second dance, held in late spring, was a thing of beauty and will live forever in the memories of those who attended it. With the coming of spring and St. Patrick's Day, open season was again declared on the frosh. This time, hov ever, the sopho- mores worked toward a definite goal and with a definite purpose. With Junior Week and the Class Rush looming ahead, the main purpose of the drive was to wear down the freshmen and put them in the proper condition for the all-important event. Organization was better than in the previous year, and plans were laid early. As a consequence, the results were far better than in the previous year. Now as we are nearing the middle of our college course and upperclassmanship, we can look both backward and forward. Backward to the fun, work, and comradeship that we have enjoyed in our stay at Armour up until this time, and forward to specialized engineering and the end of our college career. Howard G.

It Was a Winter Noted For Its Snow and Ice - 49 - FRESHMEN - To grammar school in short pants ... to high school in long pants . . . and now to Armour v ithout any pants! Wotta life! Seriously, though, how does it feel to be a freshman at Armour’ First of all, there is no feeling quite like the soft caress of the cold pavement of Federal Street on the bare epidermis—cheek to cheek as it were. What can be more soul-satisfying than that after-lunch nap in Doc Tibbals' 1:10 lecture’ And how indulgently we gaze on Chapin Hall's crumbling walls, so covered with tradition; yes, even though plaster shows through the tradition in spots. What pleasure we find in going to Armour from 8:30 A. M. to 5:00 P. M. and then spending the rest of our leisure time doing homework. In fact, we like it so much that we re all for starting the classes earlier than 8:30. This will eliminate the necessity of going to bed at all. A pleasant memory of our freshman days is sure to be the school's thoughtfulness in including us in its Valen- tine's Day program, those little brown envelopes were a surprise indeed. But best of all, perhaps, was our collection of sophomore pants—twenty-four by actual count. It must not be thought, however, that the freshman's sole accom- plishment was depantsing sophomores. Ah, no! There was a Green Hat Ball that . . . but wait a moment . . . might as well start at the beginning. The frosh began their social season in orthodox fashion with the Freshman Handshake, there v as an inspiring speech by John Schommer, poetry by Professor Amsbury, v restling by the wrestling team, and cider and doughnuts by tradition. The politicians next had their day. Class elections v ere conducted with all the fervor of a presidential campaign. Speeches, political promises, and reciprocal favors were the order of the day Rushing started about this time, and the frosh discovered how really important they v ere-- green hats or no green hats. They were wined and dined . . . they were the toast of Michigan Avenue . . . they were the tops. It seemed for a while that these upper classmen, even the sopho- mores, were not such bad chaps alter all; but when that delirious week was over, they showed up in their true colors. Small skirmishes during the lunch hour between the frosh and sophs were daily occurrences, but these v ere all eclipsed by the Battle. It started off with the absence of a green hat. The luck- Bernard F. Oswald, Jr. President Edwin C. Mitchell Vice-President John Barale Secretary - 50 - A Shocking Display on Open House Night FRESHMEN less freshman yelled '‘39” over and over. His words were magical . . . loungers, sprawled over the front steps, stirred into action . . . freshmen poured out of the main building ... a flying v edge of sophomores rushed out of Machinery Hall . . . shouts of 38” and 39” rang out . . . juniors and seniors forgetting their mustaches and dignity rushed into the fray . . . torn shirts, green hats, pants without owners, owners without pants were all strewn over 33rd Street ... the Battle” was on! It continued until both sides were exhausted. Hostilities were postponed until Junior Week . . . Thanksgiving was at hand . . . Because things were becoming dull for the fire-eating frosh, they decided to open the school's social season with a dance. The result was the Green Hat Ball. The beautiful Trianon Ballroom was the mecca for the freshmen and their femmes. They danced the evening through to the strains of Jan Garber's music. Christmas Holidays! That gala time when everyone plans to do so much and accomplishes so little. On the night after Christ- mas, when the mercury had all but fallen out of the thermometer, the memorable Freshmen Splash Party and Smoker was held. The frosh journeyed out to the Lawson Y, splashed around the pool, listened to Professor Peebles speak, played ping-pong, kibitzed, and (yes, we must admit it), supped on cider and doughnuts. Cider and doughnuts are the piece de resistance at Armour. You can't escape them. Athletics? Surest thing you know. The freshmen starred at all sports, both indoor and out. Their favorite indoor sport, however, was exercising; they became so expert at exercises that they could make their figures gain or lose at will -this accounts for the in- credible results obtained in the chemistry exercises. There was an inter-class track meet, the frosh took off their pants and ran around in their shorts because it felt so familiar. The thirty-niners acquitted themseives nobly in the baseball and basketball tournaments. Finals came and went, they came too suddenly and went too slowly ... A new semester began . . Many events have gone under the bridge, and many more are yet to come . . . Among the best are sure to be the Freshman-Sophomore Dance and Junior Week . . . But whatever comes we freshmen will take it in its stride ... as we have in the past ... in the seven league boots of the class of thirty-nine. Robert A. Winblad Treasurer Bolton G.

Wolgemuth Paul Miller Martin Howard Philip Millevillc Sidney Melvin Miner Peter Morrison Paul Robert Schultz, Jr. Arthur William Sear THOUGHTS THE FRESHMAN: Sept. 25—And this is Aromur! We'll soon see whether or not it is as tough as they say. Seemed funny to have had to wait in line to pay out perfectly good money. At least, we're in class; now to stay there. The faculty treats us pretty decently—so far. Nov. 25—Well! I've been embarrassed before, but a new high was hit when I had to go into the library to ask for my trousers. And it's cold out there, too. Anyway, our dance last Friday was swell, and, besides, Thanksgiving vacation comes soon. And then. Merry Christmas! Mar. 25—Guess I've been on the run since the Christmas holiday. Squeezed through last semester all right, but what a squeeze! Sweating ever since. And then, the Sophs are always with us. Don't mind wearing a green cap, but their attitude . . . Wonder what this Junior Week is all about. We ll see about this rush business. April 17—Frosh dance tomorrow, and me without a date! And the bid is paid for! THE SOPHOMORE: Nov. 2—1 don't seem to be able to get back into the swing of things here. Ho! hum! Another month of vacation would have done me good—or killed me. Hope I've picked the right branch of engineering for study. Don't want to be a misfit after four years of study (if I last). Does a fellow's heart good to see the freshies with their green spots. We lost the rush last year, but we ll certainly show these youngsters. Oct. 28—We took the Juniors down for the interclass basketball title last week. Think I'll try for the regular team. Wish there was more time for activities. Wonder how's chances for an N. Y. A. job. Class officers are elected. Looked like an honest election, by gum. Feb. 12—Got a little boost in the Tech News appointments tonight. Here's hoping! Mar. 17—Saint Patrick's Day. Hot dog! Let's go get us a freshman! Mar. 21—The Relays topped off the indoor track season tonight. Some of our class turned in pretty good records for the year. April 7—Isn't it ever going to get warm? THE JUNIOR: Sept. 24—It seems pretty nice to be back in the grind again. Actually v orked this summer, earning enough to help pay expenses. Makes a fellow feel a little bigger. And we're finally upperclassmen! Oct. 25—Elections are over, at last. Now that all the arguments are over (we hope), could somebody take time out and explain this commission form of government? At least, it's different. Dec. 21—Our Informal at the Stevens last night was the nuts. Best we've had. That leaves two shopping days until Christmas—and two weeks to recover. I brought the books home for vacation again. Wonder why? April 9—Baseball season opens tomorrow, if it doesn't snow. The weather man must have gone on a big binge this year. At least, I hope it gets v arm for Junior Week. If we have to pay for it, we v ant a chance to enjoy it v ithout wearing earmuffs. And I'm going to get to that Junior Formal if I have to put Dad's watch in hock. April 14—Deadline's approaching and the editor hollering. Whose idea was it to get on a year-book staff? THE SENIOR: Sept. 25—Now, to knock them cold for one year straight. This is the one that counts. To be hoped for: offices, honoraries, and a JOB. Have to squeeze some financially this year, too. Oct. 26—I've surely done a swell job of knocking them cold, or vice versa. Five weeks of school, and I'm only four weeks behind in reports. What I'd give for a good night's sleep, not bothered by due dates, credits, or whatnot! Jan. 4—Did I say rest over the holiday’ It's lucky it ended when it did: needed to get back to school for a rest. Probably that is the last vaction of that kind I'll ever get. Begin- ning to feel like an old man now. April 2—A job landed on me today. Won't be in the great army for a v hile, at least. Those job interviews were interesting, although we were on edge for them. Won't be around here any more, pretty soon. A couple more dances, a little more work, a short walk in a long, black gown, and we'll be leaving.

In giving the first dance of the year, the Seniors also closed their career in the field of class dances. The event was marked with their characteristic style, in that the bids were sold out several days before the dance. Everyone, it seemed, v as desirous of attending the social premiere. The 29th finally arrived and romance, glamour, and excitement ruled as the engineers, whirling their partners over the smooth floor, relaxed and, for an evening at least, forgot the monotony of studies. Perhaps it v as with a tinge of.sadness in their hearts that the Seniors re- membered that this v as their last dance as a class at Armour. The spirit of revelry about them, however, soon dispelled all the gloom. Besides, v ho could be so down- hearted in the company of any of the charming misses present? Gay incidents constantly recurred in the Techawk’s memory for a long, long time after the dance was over. The captivating rhythm of Emil Flindt's orchestra v as re- membered with exhilarating effect; the spacious Grand Ballroom of the Medinah Athletic Club with the com- fortable lounges v as recalled v ith a tribute to the far- sightedness of the committee who planned for the large crowd.

Hence, to start the gay and festive holiday season off right and to initiate a period of enjoyment and good cheer, the junior Class presented their brilliant Junior Christmas Informal on December 20, 1935, at the Boule- vard Room of the Stevens Hotel. Classes and professors were easily forgotten for the rest of the year 1935 once a Techawk” and his beautiful lady stepped upon the dance floor. One could forget most anything in the midst of such gay revelry. Obtaining a spacious ballroom, designing and dis- posing of stylish bids, and procuring an orchestra worthy of such an elaborate affair provided an arduous task for the social committee, but their efforts were amply re- warded by the number of pleasure-seeking couples present. The Boulevard Room provided a perfect setting for the event; Roy Lind and his orchestra were an inspiration for dancing; and the Christmas season pervaded all with its holiday spirit. What more could anyone wish for. unless it were that the night could go on forever. As all good things must come to an end. however, Home, Sweet Home” gently played by the orchestra terminated the last social function of 1935. - 69 - Healy Chelgren Dunbar Modersohn Stober Anderson Bunce Footlik Rice Starmann SOPHOMORE COTILLION Friday, the 13th, surely calls for something different and unusual. Different and un- usual are exactly the words to be applied in describing the distinctive dance which the Sopho- more Class successfully conceived and carried out on Friday, March 13, 1936. For once the Friday, v hich by mere accident fell on the thirteenth day of the month, did not foretell evil, everyone who attended the Sophomore Cotillion had a thoroughly enjoyable time. The beautiful and spacious grand ballroom of the Lake Shore Athletic Club was a gorgeous setting for this gem of dances. Those v ho were desirous of sitting out dances found the commodious lounge a delightfully restful spot. Because of the large number of those attending v ho lived at great distances from the scene of festivities, Eddie Woodv ard and his orchestra did not begin the accompaniment to the light fantasies until 9:30 P. M. The varied and colorful music irresistibly drew the hundred and seventy-five couples to the dance floor. The Techawks and their sweethearts were de- lighted v ith Eddie Woodward's versatility in swinging from a snappy melody to a dreamy waltz. Promptly at 1:30, the beautiful but unrequested strains of Home Sweet Home drifted over the colorful floor, reminding the dancers that the first Sophomore Cotillion was drawing to a close. Hov ever, the opinion, as the gay throng departed homeward, was that the Cotil- lion v as well-established as an annual affair in the social life of Armour. The Sophomore Cotillion at the Lake Shore Athletic Club - 70 - The Junior Formal in May 1935 The drearr. of every fraternity man became a reality on March 7, 1936. for on that date an Interfraternity Formal, which had often been discussed, materialized. For many years the dance had been planned, but it never seemed to fit into the plans of the various houses. This year under the sponsorship of the Interfraternity Council and all of the houses, the affair was outlined, went through, and became a pleasant memory After a long and careful consideration of the various locations available for holding the Formal, the Imperial Room of the Medinah Club of Chicago was chosen. The scene of seventy-five fraternity men and their girl friends in formal attire enjoying their supper at candle-lit tables was indeed striking. Charlie Straight and his orchestra furnished the enchanting and tantalizing music for the dancing couples. The music was rendered more enjoyable by the injection of fraternity arrangements by the orchestra at intervals. Fraternity songs, rhythmic music, good food, soft lights, and attractive girls all con- tributed to provide Armour fraternity men and stray Greeks a delightful evening. Professor Spears, of the Fraternity Relations Committee, and his partner, who acted as chaperons, will undoubtedly substantiate all statements in regard to the exceptionally pleas- ureable evening spent by all present. Although the orchestra's final number marked the end of the first Interfraternity Formal, it also brought assurance that it would not be the last. The Interfraternity Formal seems sure to become the high light of each fraternity social season. - 71 - THE GRAND STAIRWAY IN THE MAIN BUILDING LOOKING NORTHWEST FROM THE BALCONY OF THE ASSEMBLY HALL - 72 - V JUNIOR WEEK Deviating for Junior Week, as per custom, from our classroom activities, the Junior Class pre- sented a unique program under the direction of the Junior Marshals Peterson, Quandee, Sumner, Concolino. Paulsen, Knaus, and Linden. With an enthusiastic group of participants officially dismissed from classes, and with the student body rooting from the side-lines, Rho Delta Rho and Phi Kappa Sigma started the ball rolling on Monday morning with the finals of the Interfra- ternity Baseball Tournament. Hindered by cold weather, which affected only a few of the spectators, the Rho Delta Rho team v as victorious after nine innings of hard-fought ball. With some of the students at the ball game, the remainder were busy preparing the de- partmental Open House exhi- bits. All of the laboratories and classrooms were “dressed” for inspection by the twenty-five hundred visitors interested in our work at the Institute and in the display of science and architecture. When the visitors had completed their inspection of the exhibits, they found en- joyment in dancing to the strains of Nick Wonderlick's band in our gym. The pentathelon, with its two divisions, proved to be popular from the large number of con- testants who entered. Tad Omiecinski and Don Neal were the v inners in their respective divisions. On Wednesday interest in ac- tivities ran high as the finals in the interclass softball tourna- ment found the Junior Class to be the winners. - 74 - JUNIOR WEEK Following the softball tour- nament finals was the Inter- fraternity Relay which was won by the v ell balanced team en- tered by Phi Pi Phi. The Juniors, represented by Fleig. Concc- lino, Neal, and Tuma, presented a relay team which was good enough to take top honors in the Intcrclass Relay event. The Faculty-Senior Baseball game gained the interest of the entire student body. Though claimed by some to be a farce, it proved the superiority of the Faculty over the Seniors on the diamond as well as in the class room. The game was featured by the stellar pitching of Sammy Bibb and the long dis- tance hitting of John Schommer. In the afternoon the Armour nine met Elmhurst on the home diamond and succeeded in vanquishing the invaders. On Wednesday evening the Orchestra and Glee Club pre- sented the Annual Spring Con- cert to a capacity audience. The Interfraternity Sing, held as a part of the concert, was won by Pi Kappa Phi. Introduction of the Medley Relay and the Tug-of-War into the Junior Week program proved a popular addition with the upperclassmen. With the entire student body witnessing the events, the Juniors again showed their versatility by tak- ing firsts in both events. The twin victory by the Junior Class gave them firsts in the four events which they entered. It was rumored at the time that the Junior Marshals had planned Junior Week so as to take ad- vantage of the talents of the Junior Class but this they vigorously denied. • 7$ . JUNIOR WEEK The Interfraternity Track Meet, handicapped by cold weather which had been prevailing throughout the week, found all fraternity men to be loyal supporters. The meet, won by the team entered by Phi Pi Phi, was featured by the stellar performance of Claire Dunbar who won five events for Phi Pi Phi. On Friday morning, activities on the Armour campus assumed a war like atmosphere. The sophomores had assembled early in the morning to make plans for the abduction of the more prominent freshmen to prevent their taking part in the class rush. Dividing the class into three sections, Paul Martin, the sophomore rush leader, had prepared a reception for all freshmen, whether arriving by street car, bus, or elevated. When the not-so-innocent freshman arrived and was leaving the elevated platform or street car, the sophomores depantsed him, and per- mitted him to continue toward school. The freshman, completely taken by surprise, then continued toward school minus his trousers. Green hats were worn, but still the freshmen paraded in their shorts. By nine o'clock Mel Schuman, the freshman rush leader, had planned an attack to counteract the sophomores gain, but as the sophomores were well organized the freshmen were turned back with the loss of the trousers of those few who had originally evaded the watchful sophomores. At one o'clock the interest of the student body and the many spectators gathered on Ogden Field turned to the Interfraternity Pageant in which each fraternity at Armour gives a short skit in competition for a sheepskin trophy. With the well known pigeon act and the 33rd Street window knock. Pi Kappa Phi and their Chase a Sand- storm Armour-Teur Night won the acclaim of the audience to take first honors and the skin. Immediately following the Interfratemity Pageant the awards to the winners of the Junior Week contests were made by Dr. Willard E. Hotchkiss. At two-thirty the freshmen and sophomores lined up at opposite ends of Ogden Field for the big interclass rush. The Junior Marshals arranged the straw and sand bags in the middle of the field between the opposing lines of students. The freshmen, having been pepped up by their leader, were prepared to down the sophomores; while the sophomores, having gained several unofficial victories over the freshmen in the morning skirmishes, were tuned to a fine pitch. The battle began on a signal given by Head Junior Marshal Ray Peterson and the two classes rushed for the bags and each other. The fray had been under way only about three minutes when the sophomores, by virtue of superior organization, clearly had gained a decided advantage over the freshmen. They held this advantage to the last and when the rush was over the sophomores were victorious over their op- ponents. The superiority of the sophomores was so pro- nounced that the freshmen did not capture one bag during the rush. The final event of a grand and glorious Junior Week was the Junior Formal held on Friday night. The Junior social committee worked hard and their efforts were well rewarded with one of the finest Formals the Techawks have ever had the privilege of attending. - 76 - - 77 - 9 - WHEN THE LIBRARY COMPETES WITH THE BASEBALL GAME ;:ii - 78 - THE LONG TRAIL THAT EVERY UNDERCLASSMAN MUST CLIMB V dL n u n b John B. Davis Lan e Gallagher Schreiber Editor-in-Chief THE CYCLE OF 1936 The Cycle of 1936 is now a completed product. It is a long road that is traveled from the time that the Staff is elected until the finished book finally rolls off the presses and goes into the hands of the student body and faculty. It is a road fraught with difficulties to trip up the inexperienced or careless and the Staff wishes to express their heartfelt thanks to the Student Publica- tions Advisory Committee for the aid they have rendered the Staff both collectively and individually in avoiding grave difficulties. Every large undertaking of this sort requires co-operation from many persons whose names never appear on the roll of the Staff or in a credit line of any sort. These people are the secretaries and presidents of the organiza- tions and classes, faculty members who are willing to lend a helping hand, and those who work behind the scenes in the plant of the engraver, the printer, and the cover manufacturer. Without the willing devotion of a great deal of time by these men it would not be possible to produce a book like the Cycle of 1936 in a year's time. The Staff wishes to express its especial appreciation to Dr. Hotchkiss, Dean Heald, and Professor Mangold for the excellent articles which they have contributed to the book, and to Bruce Cowan of The Pontiac Engraving Company, Bill Rinehart and Helm Spink of The George G. Fetter Printing Company, and K. G. Cooley of the Molloy Cover Company for their splendid help and co-operation in their respective fields. The editor and business manager have learned a great deal about the year book business during the past year's work. They can talk very knowingly about picas, half- tones, No. 700 fabrikoid and a great many more things which go to make up a college year book. They can go to the Student Publications Advisory Committee and say, We think we know quite a bit about producing a good year book for Armour Institute and we would like to be able to publish your book for you next year. The Committee, however, says, No boys, you have had your training, so now you are through and someone else who knows little or nothing about year books will make a try at it. So it goes—the old must give way to the new regardless of position, prestige, or past performance. Thus it is all through life, and it is not without a touch of regret that we turn over the cherished and familiar equipment to new and untrained hands. - 80 - Davidson Gallagher Mansfield William A.

Ansel - 81 - ARMOUR ENGINEER It is a far cry from the Armour Engineer of seven- teen years ago to the present day publication. In that time the Engineer has developed from a small technical publi- cation to a larger and more interesting magazine. The students and faculty were the sole contributors to the Armour Engineer when it originated in 1919. Dur- ing the period from 1924 to 1932, the magazine became affiliated with the Engineering College Magazines Associa- tion, where it rated among the best of the contemporary members. At the end of that time the magazine was re- vamped, and it appeared before the student body in a more compact and convenient form although it contained a greater amount of information. Due to the fact that the Engineer no longer conformed with the specifications of the E. C. M. A. in regard to size, a withdrawal was effected from that organization. Immediately after resigning from the E. C. M. A., the Engineer became associated with the National Scholastic Press Association. The highest honors given by that organization were carried off by the publication during the first year's membership, and soon afterward the “Engineer withdrew from the association. Harry S. Nachman Editor-in-Chief In 1934 the Armour Engineer was entered in the annual competition for the Yale Cup, an award given each year by the Yale Scientific Magazine to the most outstanding undergraduate scientific publication. There are no restrictions as to what magazines may enter the contest, other than that they must be in the scientific field. They need not be members of any of the various press associations. The Yale Scientific Magazine, by giv- ing the award, hopes that the placing of the publications in competition with one another will lead them to a closer knit feeling and to better workmanship. The Armour Engineer was the recipient of one of the highest distinctions in the country, when it won the second place award. The last two years, however, have witnessed the greatest departure from the tendencies of former years. The book has been modernized and made to appeal to the students, faculty, and alumni more as an interesting magazine about Armour than as a journal of technical articles. This has been accomplished by designing the cover in accordance with the modern trends and by using a glossy paper which permits the use of more illustrations. The humor section, in deference to the demands of the student body, has been enlarged. The Alumni Notes have been enlarged and featured with the result that the alumni wait impatiently for each of their copies. These many changes in the Engineer have greatly aided in raising its reputation as one of the leaders among scientific student publications. Further important steps are ex- pected to be taken during the next year to increase the popularity of the Armour Engineer v ith the Armour students, faculty, and alumni. It is hoped that the articles will include contributions from new and interesting sources, and that all Armour alumni will receive their copies of the Engineer.

Forsberg - 85 - STUDENT PUBLICATIONS ADVISORY COMMITTEE Walter Hendricks Chairman ol the Committee Since the fall of 1935, the Armour publications, the Cycle , the Tech News , and the Armour Engineer and Alumnus , have not been under the jurisdiction of a single publica- tion board. The Cycle and the Tech News are under the supervision of the Student Pub- lications Advisory Committee and the “Armour Engineer and Alumnus has been under the direction of the Managing Board. Until two years ago the Tech News and the Armour Engineer were under the supervision of the Board of Publications. The board consisted of faculty and student mem- bers both. The Cycle was governed by the Faculty Committee, which was also composed of the student managers and certain members of the faculty. In 1934 an attempt was made to unify the three publications by placing them under a single committee, so that they could act in closer harmony and cooperate more easily. It was then that the Student Publications Advisory Committee was formed. The group v as com- posed solely of faculty members for it v as felt that the committee should only, as its name implies, act in an advisory capacity in the management of the three Armour publications, administer their funds, and pass on major questions in their development. This change in policy in regard to the publications did not result in a loss of student control as one might think. On the contrary, the student managing boards gained more control since they were no longer compelled to confer with the faculty advisors in regard to such matters as edi- torial policy. Last fall it v as decided that the Armour Engineer should be moulded more on the lines of an engineering journal and should contain more nev s about Armour activities and about past graduates. In this way the circulation could be increased by causing the alumni to desire copies. As a program of this type necessitated closer connections between the stu- dent managers and the faculty advisors, a managing board composed of three faculty mem- bers and two students was created. Thus the S. P. A. C. was no longer connected with the Engineer. In accordance with the new ideas, the name of the publication was changed to the Armour Engineer and Alumnus. - 86 - The Student Publications Advisory Committee in a Business Session. The Concert at the Goodman Theater O. Gordon Erickson Director of the Musical Clubs ARMOUR TECH MUSICAL CLUBS Since its organization in 1922, the Armour Tech Musical Clubs have continually been growing until they are the largest single activity group at Armour, the total enrollment being one-sixth of the entire student body. The activities of this organization have come to be an integral part of life at Armour. The traditional Christmas concert was, as usual, attended by a highly appreciative audience of faculty and students. The spring concert, combined with the Interfraternity Sing, is ex- pected to draw a similar audience. But the most important effect of the Musical Clubs is not upon the student body nor upon other audiences, but upon the members of the group themselves. For here is the oppor- tunity for the members to get av ay from and forget the humdrum, routine, grinding work of the technical course, and here is their opportunity to enjoy their own talents through musi- cal expression. In addition to the purely musical benefits, the men are thrown into weekly contact with a congenial group which they, themselves, must organize and manage. The social train- ing obtained from cooperating to achieve a common goal is of great value to any young man. This year, through the able direction of Mr. Erickson, the management of President Ormsby, and the hearty support of the student body, faculty, and alumni, the Musical Club presented its first public concert downtown. Presented at the Goodman Theater under the sponsorship of the Faculty Women's Club, this was probably the most successful engagement the group has had. The popularity and success of the concert promises to make it an an- nual affair. Because of the success of this and other concerts, it has been possible to plan two out- of-town trips, one to include Racine, Kenosha, and Milwaukee, and the other to Kankakee. Thus, added to the enjoyment of creative effort, will be the companionship of a large group of young men travelling out of town. Of the engagements away from school, the concert-and-dance type, held in conjunc- tion with a girls' school or similar group, has proved to be very popular. This year, three were planned, one at the McCormick Y. W. C. A , one at the Belmont Hotel v ith the Pestalozzi- Froebel Teachers' College, and one at the National College of Education. The National Col- lege of Education affair especially is proving to be a perennial favorite among the fellows. In addition to these, the annual smoker is being replaced this year by a concert and tea- dance at the Shawnee Country Club in Wilmette. Here the members will have the oppor- tunity to entertain their own guests in the midst of beautiful surroundings. The other concerts given were before the luncheon meetings of the Rotary, Kiwanis, and Executive Clubs and the regular spring and fall meetings of the Armour Alumni Asso- ciation. These groups have always been very appreciative of the efforts of our organization. At the close of what has probably been our most successful year, we look forward to even better times. The presentation of the first public concert and the planning of the first out-of-town trip are expected to increase the popularity of the Musical Club among the Armour student body, so that a better group will be available.

For a number of years the theatre movement at Armour Tech had been allowed to deteriorate into obscurity, and it was not until four years ago, through the efforts of Professor Hen- dricks and some interested students, thal it was reinstated to the position it rightfully deserved as one of the regular activities of our campus. Since then, its followers, under the guidance of Professor Hendricks, who has been assisted this last year by Mr. Fulghum, have given the student body and their friends numerous plays, each distinct and individual. As in the past, this year's per- formances have been a series of in- teresting experiments. Due to the lack of equipment, it has become not only an experiment in acting, light- ing, and scenery designing; but also an experiment in the converting of scrap tin, lenses, and pipe into spot lights; rain guttering into footlights; and odd bits of lumber into scenery. The group has always been quick to adopt new methods and, through the far sightedness of Professor Hen- dricks and his willingness to experi- ment with anything that looked de- sirable, it has tried various types of plays, acting, and scenery. The first play this year, The House of Juke , tended toward the realistic (a type of production for which the Ameri- can stage is noted). The second performance, which was presented at Christmas, at- tempted just the opposite with a set done in the abstract manner of the - 90 - ARMOUR PLAYERS European theatre; and by acting on different levels, the actors, lit only by a spot light, endeavored to bring forth the moral and spiritual better- ment of the characters as the play progressed. The climax of the pro- duction was reached with a flooding of light on an abstract sunrise and two figures standing in silhouette on the highest part of the stage. In the most recent play, Falstaff and Prince Hal , an episode taken from Shakespeare's, “Henry IV , the Players turned to the greatest of all English writers to bring before the Armour audience a new type of comedy that features one of the stage's most beloved characters. It was hoped that this introduction to Shakespeare would help stimulate an interest in his works. As an unprecedented departure from the usual Open House Night routine, the Players gave a Puppet Show. All the puppets were made by and operated by the members. The scenery and lighting effects were all done in miniature to con- form with the scale of stage fixed up in Science Hall, where it was en- thusiastically received by the guests and students of the institute. Through the past year the officers and Professor Hendricks have been forming a definite program to make the group into a closer knit organiza- tion that will have a constitution and laws. It is the hope of Professor Hen- dricks and the officers of the Players that by the end of the year when this plan has been put into effect, a more closely united organization will have been formed that will live and pros- per—forever keeping within itself the spirit of adventure in which it was founded. - 91 - rj A TRIBUTE The athletic staff at Armour Tech is a small one considering the large number of ac- tivities under its supervision and the responsibilities of its director are both heavy and numer- ous. John f. Schommer, as Athletic Director, has served Armour v ell and a large share of the credit for Armour's excellent athletic standing in the Chicago area belongs to him. His great experience and wise counsel have guided the Armour Tech Student Association in such a manner that it has not faltered in its progress. John J. Schommer is the moving spirit behind the Armour Relays, that athletic extrav- aganza which is the highlight of the athletic year at Armour and one of the highlights of the athletic year in Chicago. He has worked unceasingly to raise this event to one of the most important track carnivals in the middle west. The 1936 Armour Relays were selected as Olympic Regional Tryouts and did much to bring the name of Armour to prominence in athletic circles. Armour Institute is indeed fortunate in having such a man at the head of its athletic staff as John J. Schommer. - 94 - ARMOUR TECH STUDENT ASSOCIATION Huntly Hotchkiss Heold Kralft Heike Merz Schommcr McNamara Dunbar Allison Neal Kruse OFFICERS President.........................................

Willard E. Kruse The Armour Tech Student Association was formed in 1923 as the Armour Tech Athletic Association. The name was changed by the new constitution. The primary duty of this or- ganization is to coordinate extra-curricular activities. The cost of this undertaking is financed by a student activity fee. Payment of this fee entitles the student to membership in the Armour Tech Student Association, the right to vote for its officers, and participation in all its activities. The outstanding event of this year was the adoption of a new constitution. The old constitution of the Armour Tech Student Association was revised and brought up to date. It was submitted to the student body, who adopted it. The text of the new constitution follows closely that of the old, most of the changes being of an accommodating nature, prompted by changes in the Institute which made the old constitution inapplicable. In great part, the work of preparing the revised form of the constitution was done by Donald J. Neal, president of the Armour Tech Student Association. The new form was approved by the Board of Athletic Control. - 95 - Noa!, Heike. Merz. Warner Patto'rson. Adamec, Knaus. Dollenmaier.

Sumner Honor A” was founded 22 years ago for the purpose of being the governing body for athletics at Armour. However, in 1922, the Armour Tech Athletic Association was formed, and this organization took over the work. Now Honor A is the honorary lettermens society. It has been devoted to the promotion of athletic endeavor at Armour. Honor A performs the activities which have been allotted to it in a ship-shape man- ner. It co-operates with the A T S A in planning an award assembly in the spring at which the awards for basketball, swimming, and wrestling are given out, and at which the pledges of Honor A receive their keys. The outstanding result of this year s work in Honor A has been the establishment of a new set of letters. There has been much agitation throughout the school that the letters now being awarded are inadequate for the class of school which Armour is. It has been suggested that the letters should be of a solid color nature, and that they should not be bordered by any other color. This matter was investigated thoroughly. A committee consisting of Concolino, Heike. and Knaus were appointed to look into the situation. Their recommendation was brought before Honor A and was accepted. So, the recommendation of Honor A to the A T S. A. has been that the system of letters be changed. Instead of one letter, there shall be three letters. They shall be of a solid color with no border. The letters shall be solid red and solid gold. A captain's letter shall be solid black. This system agrees very well with the systems in the larger colleges and universities. It is through such things as these that the organization has felt that it is on the road to increased service and greater usefulness to our alma mater. • 96 - V 1 A P u —i M Coach Krafft Captain Omiecinski BASEBALL SEASON OF 1935 William C.

In the real season opener, the Tech- men took a beating from Northwestern to the tune of 10-0. The routing can be accounted for if one takes into consideration the seven errors and three hits made by Armour players. With this kind of backing it is no wonder that the three Armour pitchers, who yielded six hits, could not produce a decent score. The third inning, with one hit and four Tech errors, which produced five runs, was too much for the Armour team In the next game with Hillsdale, which was not originally scheduled, the Techawks fared even worse They were defeated by the lopsided score of 13-0 Eight doubles, two triples, and a Manager Lang - 98 - The 1935 Baseball Squad V t L Biogtcr Shewchuck % X$ Baumol homer, as part of fifteen hits, practically tell the story. The vis- itors got the double habit quickly, as the first four men to face Delve bunted his offerings over the short right field fence. Armour collected three hits and sixteen strike outs from the serv- ings of left-handed John Smith of Hillsdale. The safe bingles were a double by Seidenberg and two singles by Adamec and Phillips. The Techmen then met Chicago for their third game and again lost by a topheavy score. This time it was 12-1. Chicago garnered twelve hits from the pitching of Kossuth and Baumel, but their twelve runs were gotten without much trouble. The Armour men made, in all, eight bobbles to the Maroon's two, and only three of the twelve runs were earned. Little cheer for Tech fans could be found in the totals: 7 hits, 1 run, 2 wild pitches, 8 erors, and 2 strike outs. Captain Omiecinski was himself with two for four and ten chances without an error in the field. Biegler, who tallied Armour's lone run, walked, stole second on a strike out, and sprinted home on Jimmy Dunne's liner over short. This performance came in the eighth but it turned out to be a forlorn hope, as Chicago scored four more runs. The fifth game, which was at North Central, was another overwhelming defeat for the Techmen. The score, at the end of the ninth inning, stood 16-3 with Armour on the small end. The one bright spot of the game v as a home run by A1 Lauchiskis. A change came at last. The sixth game of the season was played against Wheaton on our grounds, and the Techawks won by a rather large score, this being 15-2. Kossuth, pitching the Bartusck Lauchiskis Dollenmaier Delve game, was never in trouble except for the fifth inning when the tv o runs made by the opponents were scored. He fanned eight men, allowed eight hits, and walked one. Another pleasing feature of the game was the beautiful fielding which the Armour men exhibited. Only one error spoiled an otherwise perfect fielding record. The Techawks' slugging was also a pleasant surprise with 11 hits being recorded. Adverse weather and the Michigan State Normal squad were too much for the Armour men in the next game, and consequently they lost by a score of 6-2. Armour was the first to break into the scoring column, putting two across the plate in the second, but that was all they could do for the day. Adamec started the second by slamming out a two-base hit, and Schewchuck singled, sending Adamec to third. Shewchuck stole second, and Coggins, Normal pitcher, made a wild pitch which let Adamec score and sent Shewchuck to third. Biegler then laid down a bunt which scored Shewchuck. Michigan Normal concentrated their runs in the third, fourth, and ninth innings. They scored one apiece in the third and fourth and bunched five hits for four runs in the final. The game at Elmhurst was postponed on account of inclement weather and was played as part of a double header during Junior Week. The next game, which was with North Central at Armour, was another loss, but it was a moral victory as the game lasted 10 innings, which is something to Armour fans. The Techmen fought scoreless for three innings, lead 1-0 at one time, and came out of the ninth inning with a 3-3 tie on their hands. Then came the tenth and hopes blew up with the game ending North Central, 5, Armour, 3. Dapper Dan Delve, pitching his second game of the season, hurled fine ball, besides collecting two hits and bringing in one of Armour's runs. Opening hostilities in the first, the Techawks, led by Wagner and Omiecinski, scored a run when Adamec's lusty wallop to center pushed Wagner across the plate. Lefty Wentlandt promptly squelched this uprising by striking out the third man. Armour cashed in again in - 100 - Out at tho Plate V Wagner Seidcnborg Bacci Dunne the fourth when Delve's smash to right center scored Bartusek. North Central showed their teeth in the seventh by squeezing out two runs on a double by Makar and a single by Smith, which coupled with their lone tally in the third put them in the lead 3-2. The Techawks came back in their half when Seidenberg pushed a single to center, stole second and galloped to third on Wagner's single over third. A perfectly executed double steal sent Seidenberg tear- ing home with the tying run. Adamec walked and Phillips popped to third to end the inning. From then on the deadlock remained unbroken until the tenth, when singles by Dieber and Young, a walk, and an error brought home two runs for North Central, clinching the game, pinch hitters being ineffective in Armour's half of the inning. For their next game the Armour men traveled out to Wheaton, where they defeated the home towners, 7-2. In this game the defense work was again good, with only one error being marked up against the Techmen. The nine safe hits, together with three bobbles on the part of Wheaton, were the main factors in producing seven counters. The hitting was led by Omiecinski and Wagner, each getting two out of four times at bat. Four stolen bases also helped out quite a bit Although the Wheaton team managed to get seven hits off the pitching of Baumel, they were unable to concentrate them, except in the second inning when they scored the only two runs that they acquired. The Armour baseball squad gave its percentage a big boost when they met Elmhurst at Ogden field for a double-header during Junior Week. They beat the strangers twice, 10-3 in the first game, and 4-3 in the second. In the first game the team went to work in the second inning and scored six runs on six hits. In the second game the Techakws loosened up a bit, and were content to win by a margin of only one run. It looked bad at first v hen, in the second Got Your Foot on the Bag - 101 • inning, the second Elmhurst man walked on Kossuth's pitching, stole second, went to third on a wild throw, and finally scored upon an infield out. But the Armour boys retaliated when A1 Lauchiskis put a ball over the right field fence, and then Beigler did the same thing, ad- vancing A1 to third. Then they put on the squeeze play, and A1 scored on Kossuth's bunt. A strike out ended the inning. In the next inning the Techmen did the same thing all over again. In the last of the ninth, with a possible scoring threat in the making, the Armour boys pulled themselves together and ended the game by pulling off a beautiful double play, Wagner to Beigler to Omiecinski.

Lefty Delve, who had been doing some mighty fine pitching, held the Hurons to seven hits. Led by the stellar four-hit pitching of Dollenmaier, the Techawks eked out a 7-6 victory in their next game. Dolly , who crossed the plate in the seventh inning to score what turned out to be the winning run, kept the Foresters from scoring an earned run, fanned ten men, and kept the Lake Forest hits well scattered. In the return game at Lake Forest, the Armour ball team finally supported Dan Delve, although he did not need much as he allowed only one hit which was a fluke double down the third base line. Both teams remained scoreless until the fifth when Joe Bartusek hit a homer. This last victory of the season brought the season to a close, as the game with North- western was called off because of bad weather. The final standing was 6 wins and 7 losses, which, while it was not perfect by a long way, was better than could be expected from a team which had hardly any veterans to boast of. It developed that quite a few freshmen who had come out turned into very reliable material, which will probably be used with some success next season. z Co-Captain Warner Co-Captain Dollenmaier BASKETBALL SEASON OF 1935- 1936 William C. Krafft.................................................Coach Roland O. Warner............................................ Co-Captain Harry L. Dollenmaier.........................................Co-Captain William Bill.................................................. Manager Considering the vicissitudes which it faced, the Armour Tech basketball team of 1935-36 did remarkably well. Basketball, it seems, had the misfortune of being the only sport to which the freshman ruling applied With the loss of four of the best men by graduation, and no incoming freshmen to replace them, prospects for a good season looked very dark indeed. Realizing this, the players in the other three classes answered the call to practice with full force. By the opening of the season Coach Krafft had them shaped into a first class basketball team. The team won eight of its fifteen games during the season, which ran from December 5 to February 22. This year held more than its share of fast, scrappy games, in which the score see-sawed back and forth, one of the teams finally winning by only a few points. Coach Krafft and Co-captains Warner and Dollenmaier are to be complimented upon instilling such - 104 - The 1935-36 Basketball Squad Merz Heike O'Brien O'Connell a fine spirit into the team. Gene Heike, who was elected next year's captain, had a banner year, amassing 187 points in fifteen games. It is doubtful if such a record will be surpassed. The team will lose their co-captains by graduation. As the remainder of the team, as well as the freshman team, will be back, it seems safe to forecast a record-breaking season for next year. Armour began its schedule on December 5, defeating Arkansas State, 44-19. Dollen- maier started things by making the first basket of the season. The Techawks followed with a barrage of shots that netted six more points. Arkansas consistently failed to follow up their shots, and as a result the Armour men repeatedly gained possession of the ball by taking it off the backboard. At the half the score stood 21-9 in favor of Armour. The second team was put in by Coach Krafft for the last seven minutes of play. Heike made seventeen points, one of his best days of the season. The George Williams five visited Armour on December 11, only to be defeated, 31-20. The game started rather dully from the spectators' point of view, with close guarding by both the teams, and only occasional shooting. This kept the score down to 11-7 in Armour's favor at the half. The second half was quite different from the first. George Williams soon tied it up, and the game developed into one of those fast, scrappy affairs, which ran the score into the higher numbers. Armour finally won out, 31-20. T) IB. iT it' Warner Sinks a Free Throw at the Chicago Game • 105 - Bacci Sheehan Hofmann Brown Taradash For the last eight years North Central has beaten Armour at basketball. This year's team was no exception to the rule, falling victims to the Red Demons on December 14 by a score of 38-25. The playing was extremely rough, twenty free throws being issued to each side. O'Brien received a nasty cut under his left eye, and Wagner finished the game in his place. The Techawks were playing in the dark, literally as well as figuratively, when the lights went out towards the end of the game, giving an unofficial three minutes' rest period. Wheaton College was the guest of Armour on December 17, and was treated to a 39-19 defeat. Early scoring by Heike and O'Brien, who made five and six baskets respectively, put the game on ice. A total of thirty-two fouls indicates rather poor basketball for both teams, however. Armour had a tight defense, but Wheaton allowed them to run comparatively free, which was perhaps the reason for the large surplus of points run up by the Black and Yellow. The annual game with Chicago, played December 21, proved to be one of the most thrilling of the year. With the score tied at 49 points apiece in the last thirty seconds of play, La Fevre of Chicago sank a pot shot from the center of the floor to win the game for Chicago. It was his only basket of the game. The entire game was fast and rough, as was evidenced by the number of free throws, 24 for Chicago and 23 for Armour. Haarlow of Chicago took the scoring honors with 25 points, while the best Heike could do was to run up 17 points. The game with South Side Junior College on January 3 proved to be every bit as ex- citing as the Chicago game. With the South Siders leading, 24-23, with thirty seconds of play remaining, Heike threw a long pass to Merz, who was playing a sleeper” under South Side's V Hebenstreit Wagner Shukes Dreis basket. Merz dropped the ball through the hoop to give the Black and Yellow the winning points. The entire game was clean, fast and scrappy, providing ample entertainment for the few spectators who had somehow found their v ay into the Armory. On January 11 the Armour team traveled out to George Williams' home floor, where they repeated their former success, this time by a score of 43-36. During the first half, the Techawks got through their opponents' defense eleven times, scoring eleven field goals, put- ting them ahead, 28-13, at the end of the half. During the second half Armour merely coasted along, allowing a somewhat revived George Williams' team to score 23 points to their 13. Heike capitalized on the opponents' fouls, sinking eleven of the thirteen free throws offered him. On January 16, the Armour quintet paid their respects to Wheaton and came home with the smaller end of of a 41-31 score. Wheaton's small gym hampered Armour's style, and there was much poor shooting as a result. O'Brien, who had a torn ligament, was missed greatly. January 18 found the Techawks at Lake Forest, receiving a 36-24 defeat. The Lake Forest five was just too good for our boys, proving it with a number of sparkling long shots and some tight guarding. They were leading, 16-12, at the half. Armour attempted a rally in the second half, but Lake Forest promptly squelched it, and then proceeded to make some more baskets, just to make sure of the game. In front of the empty galleries at the Armory, Armour defeated Michigan State Normal, 26-21. The game started with close see-saw play. Then Warner called time out. The Techawks More Sinks One for Armour Get It Off the Backboard - 107 • came back and made three baskets in thirty seconds. At the half the score was 18-9, limited for the most part to scores on fouls. Warner took scoring honors for the day with 12 points. Armour met Michigan State Normal again on February 8th, when they were on their annual trip to Michigan, and won a second time, 29-25. The Techawks were ahead, 14-10, at the half. In the second half Normal changed tactics and shot from the center of the floor. In the last ten minutes they made twelve points to Armour's three. Michigan missed greatly its two stars, Wendt and Hanneman, who were out of the game because of injuries. Armour met Detroit University for its second game on the eastern trip, and was van- quished, 53-29. The Techawks played a very disorganized brand of ball and allowed Detroit to lead, 28-11, at the half. The Detroit quintet shot and made field goals from almost any point on the floor, something for which the Armour defense was not quite prepared. The first game against Carroll was played February 14 at the 108th Engineers' Armory. Carroll played good ball and left with a 45-31 victory. Knoblauch of Carroll and Heike shared scoring honors with 15 points apiece. Except for a number of Heike’s hook shots, there was nothing spectacular about the game, Carroll getting its points by the process of steady, pro- gressive playing. The return game with Lake Forest was played at Armour, February 19, Armour win- ning, 32-28. Almost a quarter of the game was played before any scores were chalked up. Then Dollenmaier and Merz started things, and Armour was leading, 18-7, at the half. Lake Forest came back strong, but the Techawks tightened up and stopped them. Warner startled everybody by dribbling through the entire Lake Forest team to score unassisted. In the final game of the season, Carroll vindicated its previous victory by repeating with almost the same score, this time, 42-31. It seems singular that this game was practically a duplicate of the first one. As it was the last game of the season, the Techawks laid away their equipment until the next season, when, they agreed, they will do bigger and better things in the way of basketball. 1935-36 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Date Opponent Opponents' Score Armour Place December 5 Arkansas State 19 44 Armour December 11 George Williams 20 31 Armour December 14 North Central 38 25 Naperville December 21 University of Chicago. . 51 49 Chicago December 27 Wheaton College 19 39 Armour January 8 South Side Junior 24 25 Armour January 11 George Williams 36 43 George Williams January 16 Wheaton College 41 31 Wheaton January 18 Lake Forest College . 36 24 Lake Forest January 20 Michigan State Normal 21 26 Armour February 8 Michigan State Normal 25 29 Ypsilanti February 10 Detroit University 53 29 Detroit February 14 Carroll College ...... 45 31 Armour February 19 Lake Forest College . 28 32 Armour February 22 Carroll College 42 31 Waukesha Totals 498 489 Alter a rather unsuccessful indoor track season, the Techawk trackmen set out to better their record in the outdoor contests. The outdoor track squad was able to win three of its six meets, and in doing this it met many varied classes of competition. Captain Johnny Roberts, who starred in the field events and the hurdles, proved his worth by ending the season as high-point man. The nearest to him were Neal, Nelson, Faust, and Dunbar. The season opened on April 13, with Armour trouncing Elmhurst, 79-52, on the Elm- hurst track The Techawks especially proved their superiority in the dashes, taking all the points in the 100 and 200-yard dashes. Neal took firsts in the quarter mile, 220-yard dash, and broad jump. Roberts in the low and high hurdles. Nelson in the half-mile run and the high jump, Dunbar in the 100-yard dash, and Faust in the two-mile run. A week later, the team met Morton Junior College at Armour. This meet proved to be the easiest of the season for the A I. T. trackmen, and before the day was over a total of 84 2 3 points was run up against the opponents' 28 1 3. The attack was led by Neal. Rigoni. Captain Roberts, and Fleig, whose united efforts accounted for almost one-half of Armour's score. Morton failed to place in the 100- and 220-yard dashes, the pole vault, and the broad jump. On April 27, the Armour tracksters suffered their first defeat. This was to Northern Illinois State Teachers College. The score was 82-49 in favor of the DeKalb team. This was their first loss on Ogden field. Nelson and Faust came through true to form, taking firsts in the quarter-mile and the one mile runs respectively. The high jump ended in a three way tie for first place between Nelson, Thornton, and Bejcek. - 110 - Threo Hurdlors Without a Foot on the Ground I Co-Manager Grakavac Assistant Manager Savidis On May 7, a triangular meet was held at the Loyola track between Armour, Loyola, and Milwaukee State Teacher's College. Armour was set back by both of the other teams. The affair with Loyola was closely fought, with Loyola emerging victorious by the slim margin of two points, 63-61. Roberts accounted for 19 of the Armour total, Neal for 13, and Faust gained 10 points with two firsts in the distance events. It was the relay which was the deciding factor, however, and it was due to their victory in it that Loyola won. On the other hand, the fleet-footed gentlemen from Milwaukee definitely outclassed both Armour and Loyola in the triangular meet, and had little trouble in running up a score of 98l 2 to 27 2. giving Armour its worst defeat of the year. They took all the firsts except the 120-yard high hurdles, which was won by Captain Roberts, who also placed second in two events, and third in two others, scoring 13 points. The last meet of the year was with Wheaton on May 10 at Ogden Field. This meet had a double significance. Besides being the last meet of the season it marked the last contest under the tutelage of Coach Lonny Stagg, who accepted an offer from an eastern school for an athletic directorship. To show him that his efforts had not been in vain, the team turned in a 71 2 to 54 2 point victory. Armour took seven firsts, Dunbar in the 100- yard dash, Neal in the 220-yard dash, Nelson in the half-mile, Captain Roberts in the low hurdles and the discus throw, Fleig in the high hurdles, and Thornton and Kulpak tied for first in the high jump. This completed the season which ended Coach Stagg's regime at Armour. However, next year should be a banner one, with Captain-elect Concolino, Neal. Faust, Dunbar, Fleig, Neuert, and Rosen back to form a nucleus for next year's team.

It was a hard-fought affair in which both teams put up a good fight, so much so that the meet was not decided until the last event had been concluded. This last event, taken by Armour, came up with the score 50-49 in favor of South Side. Neuert started out for Tech by stepping into the lead, but this was lost by the second man, Concoiino, after he had managed to retain it throughout most of his lap. Neal took over the baton and from a ten-yard disadvantage worked his way up and again placed Armour in the lead, this time for the final lap. This lap turned out to be a real thriller, McDonald and the South Side man running almost a dead heat, with the Armour man just managing to keep ahead and finally turning in a victory by an infinitesmal of the fourth order. In winning the meet. Armour gathered in seven firsts to South Side's five, along with five seconds and four third places. Neal led the attack for Tech with firsts in the 440-yard run - 112 - Deuter.

Finnegan Neuert Dannis Faust Bejcek and half-mile relay, and seconds in the 60-yard dash and the broad jump, making a total of 12l 4 points. He was closely followed by Goes and Finnegan, who each made eight points. On February 15, Armour competed in a triangular meet at the University of Chicago Field House between Chicago University, Loyola University and Armour Tech. Due to the absence of Concolino, Bejcek. Goes and Yaseen. Armour did not make a very impressive showing at the triangular meet. The score was: Chicago, 64; Loyola, 23, and Armour, 32. Having been first in the half-mile run and the one-mile run, Finnegan was high-point man for Armour with ten points. The only other first place was obtained by Faust in the two-mile. Neal ran second in the 70-yard dash and third in the quarter-mile. Other point-makers were Neuert, Dunbar, Fleig, Dannis, Ryan and Deuter. Armour's track team turned in the second victory out of three starts when they tri- umphed over Loyola University, 60l 2 to 43, in a dual meet at the University of Chicago Field House on February 21. The meet, although it did not bring in any outstanding performances, did have its interesting facts and occurrences. The high-jumping event was the prize, with a four-way tie for the honors between two Armour men and two Loyola men. Almost as good was Dunbar with his five third places besides his work in the relays. It seems that Scheid of Loyola can throw the shot-put better when he is tired. The two-mile run came during this event and he, after running his two miles, came back and made a throw which outdistanced his tv o previous efforts to net a second place. McDonald D. Fleig Bodnar Dunbar - 113 - - 114 - ARMOUR TECH RELAYS Five meet records were shattered and one tied when the greatest galaxy of track luminaries yet assembled in the Armour Tech Relays competed on March 21 in the eighth annual running of this sports classic. The many new marks show that competition in the Relays, the annual climax of the indoor track season in the Midwest, is getting more com- petitive each year. The new records were set this year by Haller of Wisconsin in the pole vault, Beckett of Marquette in the half-mile run, Heg of Northwestern in the 440-yard run, Huntly of Illinois in the 70-yard high hurdles, and Michigan Normal's entry in the college one- mile relay. Tolmich of Wayne University, in taking home three first-place medals, captured in- dividual honors and established an all-time mark for a one-man performance. As the only unscratched entry in the university two-mile relay, the Kansas State team took first place in this event, and competed in one of the heats of the college run of the same distance. The 70-yard dash was won by Grieve of Illinois with the record-tying time of 0:07. Herman of Carleton, winner of this race the two previous years and record-holder because of his performance in 1934, could get no better than fourth against the competition offered him this year. Michigan Normal's crack one-mile relay team, composed of Gavrilavicz, House, Mathews and Baker, clipped two and one-tenth seconds off the mark set by their team in 1934. The 70-yard high hurdles nearly resulted in a clean sweep for Illinois. Huntly, in setting ARMOUR TECH RELAYS a new mark, led his teammate, Robinson, across the line by a stride, and was followed closely by Hotchkiss of Kansas State and another Illinois man, Cullinan. Heg of Northwestern, leading throughout the entire distance, had to exert himself to the extent of establishing a new record in the 440 in order to stave off O'Shea's threat made in the last half lap. He reduced the old mark of 0:50.4 by four-tenths of a second. The other record made in the track events v as set by Beckett of Marquette. Taking the lead at the start of the last lap of the 880, the Hilltopper could not be headed off, although closely trailed by Fleming of Northwestern. He outran the Purple entry to cross the line in the record time of 1:55.5 The field events also brought forth their outstanding performances, although in only one instance v as a record shattered. For the second straight year the pole-vault mark was pushed up, this time by the versatile Haller of Wisconsin. After clearing the bar at 13 feet 6% inches, with space to spare, he came very near to making 13 feet 10 inches. By clearing the bar at the former height, he bettered his ov n mark, which he had set a week before at the Conference meet. Rubon, a husky lad from Wisconsin, although he did not break a record, did succeed in outclassing a huge field in the shot-put with his heave of 47 feet 7 inches, his nearest rival being Northwestern's Carter with a 43-foot-2-inch toss. In the high jump Bechel of Chicago Normal also turned in a classy performance by jumping 6 feet 3 inches, as did Wellwcod and Kings of Wayne, who cleared 6 feet 2 inches. - 115 - The combined efforts of Neal and Faust netted almost half of Armour's points. Neal led the duo with 14 j points, coming from firsts in the 60-yard dash and broad jump, and a second in the 440-yard run, while Faust turned in ten with easy victories in the mile and two-mile runs. In both of the latter Faust stepped into an early lead and, with his fast, untiring pace, steadily widened this advantage, and in both cases won by a margin of about 60 yards. The old Tech stand-by, the relay, saw Neal even up matters with Warwick, who had outrun him in the 440-yard run. It was close down the stretch, with Armour trailing until Dunbar, Armour's third man, took away Loyola's lead. Neal stepped out and, after repelling Warwick's spurts, finished out in front by five yards. On March 6, for the second time this season, Armour Tech's track team defeated South Side Junior College by scoring 55 points to their 49 at the University of Chicago Field House. Neal, leading the field with over 16 points, showed his heels'to the opponents by winning the first two events, the 60-yard dash and the grueling 440-yard run. He also won the broad jump and helped along in the winning sprint medley. The third event, the 880, was taken nicely by an Armour freshman, Finnegan. Keeping just behind field, he saved his strength till the last 100 yards, when he speeded up and swept by Dominique, who was leading, to win easily. Dominique came back for his share of the glory, however, in the mile run, leading Faust of Armour all the way. In the hurdle events the home squad had to be content with a second and two thirds, Zayner of South Side winning both events. Armour retaliated in the high jump when Simeon, in his first meet this season, topped the bar at 5 feet 8 inches to win first place, and Bejcek was close behind to take second. Simeon also put on the strong-arm act to take second in the shot-put. Pole vault honors went to the local lads, too. Captain Concolino went up over 10 feet 6 inches to win, and one of his teammates, Dixon, placed second. To win the meet it was necessary that Armour take the last event, the sprint medley, and this they did with ease. Neuert, the first man, was lagging a little behind when he gave the baton to Ryan, who held his own and even gained a little yardage. Dunbar, racing third, pulled himself up ahead by IV2 yards and passed the stick to Neal, who continued ahead to win by 10 yards and capture the meet by six points. In the last scheduled meet of the indoor season, on March 12, Armour lost to its rival. North Central, because it faced a much stronger team. It put up a good showing, neverthe- less, considering that in 1935 it was defeated to the tune of 75% to 28%. This time the score v as 59 to 45. The Tech cindermen took first places in the 60-yard dash, mile, all places in the 440-yard run, and tied for first in the high jump and pole vault. McDonald returned, after being unable to compete in previous meets because of a leg injury, to win the quarter-mile. Simeon proved himself valuable in his second appearance by tying for first in the high jump, and getting third-place honors in the shot-put. Neal was high-point man for Armour again with eleven points.

Wallace McGillivray..........................Coach Rodger Knaus .................................Captain Howard P. Milleville.. .......................Manager The 1935-36 swimming season was officially opened on October 8. 1935, when the first call for new candidates for positions on the swimming team was announced. There were only four men returning from the 1934-35 team, who were Captain Knaus, Tallafus, Duerrstein, and Ruekberg. One week later the prospective team met with Coach McGillivray and the freshmen were urged to come out. As a result, there were fifteen prospective swimmers from the class of '39 in the entire turnout of thirty-seven. Practice was started immediately, and Manager Milleville arranged a very trying schedule. The initial meet of the season was held with Wright Junior College on January 20. The score was 51-25 in favor of Wright. However, this meet was not unfruitful, inasmuch as several of the new men were tried out, and a good squad was in the making. Captain Knaus took Armour's only first place in the 100-yard breast stroke. Svagdis, a freshman, showed up re- markably well in this event, and should be a valuable asset to the team in future meets. V McGrath Lopina Dodge Duerrstein Winblad While the student body took a vacation between semesters, the Tech splashers engaged in two meets, losing a quadrangular contest, on February 8, at Milwaukee, and a two-way encounter at Wright Junior College on the 10th. The swimmers garnered a third and four fourths in the first meet, while Captain Knaus smashed through for a first in the breast-stroke division against Wright. The four-way meet on the 8th, held at Milwaukee State Teachers' College, was won by the home team with 48 points, second and third places going to Wright and South Side Junior Colleges respectively, while Armour trailed along with a meager eleven points. However, in the meet on the 10th, the Tech tankers were back in form with their cus- tomary 25 points. Wright's score, 50, was also consistent, but the meet, though lost, again gave Armour's new members some excellent practice. Winblad and Dodge, freshmen in the free-style division, showed great promise, along with Svagdis, who should soon be breast- stroking the team to a victory with his butterfly stroke. On February 17, the swimmers almost turned in their first victory of the season, when they met South Side Junior College, but timely work on the part of their opponents resulted in a loss, 42-33. Outstanding was Svagdis, who was first in the 100-yard breast stroke and whose excellent work in the medley almost took that event for Tech. Manke of Armour also turned in a good performance by placing first in the fancy diving event, as did Dodge, who took the 220-yard free style. Winblad Wins the Relay - 119 - On February 28th, the Tech swimmers came through with their first win of the year against North Central College at Naperville. The score was 38-32. The 220-yard relay was lost, but in the 100-yard breast stroke Svagdis and Captain Knaus finished in that manner to annex the event. After losing the 50-yard free style event. Armour captured the next two events, the 220-yard free style, won by Dodge, and the 100-yard back stroke, won by Duerr- stein. The 100-yard free style was won by North Central, but the winning of the 150-yard medley by Duerrstein, Svagdis and Winblad turned the trick. The swimming team turned in their second straight victory by defeating the Central Y. M. C. A. squad. 50-21, on March 2. It was a decisive victory for the Techawks, who took seven out of eight events. The finest performance of the evening was turned in by Winblad, v ho, besides helping to win the 176-yard relay, won the 100-yard free style and came second in the 44-yard free style for a total of 10 4 points. Armour,led off with its victory in the 176-yard relay, which was closely followed by Knaus’ and Svagdis' tie for first in the 100-yard breast stroke. All the other events, except the 44-yard free style, were won by the Engineers. On March 12, for the third successive time, the Armgur swimming team emerged vic- torious in a meet, when Central Y. M. C. A was beaten at the Bartlett pool, 39-36. The score throughout the meet was always close, with neither team ever more than four points in the lead, and twice the count was tied, the second tie resulting with only the 180-yard medley relay remaining on the program. The relay team, composed of Duerrstein, Svagdis and Tallafus, came through in good style to win the event. Svagdis and Winblad led in scoring for Armour with a first apiece. In the 100-yard breast stroke Knaus and Svagdis met little competition. With a 49-26 victory over North Central at the University of Chicago’s natatorium on March 20, the Armour tankmen brought to a successful close their 1936 season. The Tech team, spurred on by a score of spectators, got off to a fast start and came through with their victory in easy fashion by taking firsts in six of the eight events run off. An outstanding performance was turned in by Winblad of Armour. In this meet he piled up nine points with his victory in the 100-yard free style and his work in the two relays. In the first event the combined efforts of Ruekberg, Winblad, Smidl and McGrath gave the Tech team a victory in the 160-yard relay. This was closely followed by another win in the 100-yard breast stroke. In this swim Captain Knaus, swimming his last race for Armour, came from behind in the last length to nose out his teammate, Svagdis, for a first. The 40-yard free style saw North Central, in the person of Fraula, gather in their first v in. Armour came right back with victories in the next three events. Dodge fought his way to a victory in the 220-yard free style, and Duerrstein followed him by outbackstroking his opponent over a 100-yard stretch. Winblad's victory in the 100- yard free style was the most exciting and closely contested swim on the program. With the completion of their schedule, the tankers may look back upon a season which started poorly, but which in the end showed the true worth of the Armour swimmers by its record of the last six victories in a row.

Bibb......................................................Coach Lawrence W. Davidson..............................................Captain Howard J. Zibble................................................. Manager With a team containing four veterans of the successful squad of 1934, prospects for the 1935 season looked good. The predictions were fulfilled and Coach Bibb's team captained by Larry Davidson, went through the stiff schedule of eleven matches prepared by Manager Zibble, winning seven and suffering only three losses and one tie. Two of the losses were with Big Ten schools. After a short and wet period of training, the season opened with a 27-0 loss to North- western on April 20 at Kildeer. The second of the scheduled matches was with South Side Junior College on April 26. Armour won this match with a 12-6 score. On April 27 Armour Engineers played the University of Chicago at Olympia Fields. The opposition proved too much for the Engineers, the result being a 14-4 defeat. Packing up their clubs, the Armour team journed to Beloit, Wisconsin, to meet Beloit College on Saturday, May 4. The team, led by Captain L. Davidson, scored a 12-0 victory over their opponents. For their fifth match the Engineers traveled to Terre Haute, Indiana, to engage the Indiana State Teachers College on May 11. The match ended in a 9-9 tied score, the only tied score of the season. On May 14, a cold, windy and wet day, the Armour team met the alumni team, com- posed of former Armour captains, in the Annual Armour-Alumni match. The Armour team suffered a 12-6 defeat at the hands of the Alumni. Armour and Wright Junior College met Shanahan Richards Ahern for their first match on May 15, at Southmoor. The weather was cold and damp but the Engineers came through with a 12-0 victory. May 16 found St. Viator's College and Armour battling at Southmoor. As on the two previous days, the weather was unfavorable and the course wet. St. Viator's however, proved an easy victim for the Tech team, losing to the Engineers by a 0-12 score. May 18 v as cool and clear, and on this day Armour suffered its last defeat of the season to Loyola University at Southmoor. A close match throughout, the final score proved it to be a win for Loyola 10-8. The Armour team journeyed to St. Viator's College for their second match with the school on May 22. The Engineers repeated their previous 12-0 victory. South Side Junior College and Armour met for their second match at Southmoor on May 24. Again Armour repeated by winning with a 6-12 score. A 14-4 victory against Wright Junior College at Big Oakes on May 25 closed a successful season for the Armour golfers. The season, characterized by wet weather, ended as it began. The course on which the last match was played was the first nine holes played twice, as the second nine were submerged. SUMMARY WON LOST TIED 7 3 1 AWARDS William B. Ahern Lawrence W.

Colvert........... Richard D. Armsbury. Edward N. Searl.............. Coach Captain Manager With the members of the successful squad of 1934 returning, assisted by several other experienced men, the tennis team faced the prospects of a very successful season. Initial practices were held indoors at the 108th Engineers' Armory, as they were the previous season. A tough schedule of ten meets, arranged by Manager Searl, was played, of which Armour won seven and lost three In the two practice meets, Armour won one and lost one. Due to inclement weather, the tennis team had but little outdoor practice before April 24, when they met North Central College and suffered a 4-3 loss. On the next day. April 25, Armour had a practice meet with the University of Chicago, and was defeated, 8-3. After an unsatisfactory beginning, the prospects of the season brightened considerably when Armour gained a 4-3 victory over Loyola University on April 29. a 5-2 victory over George Williams College on May 4, and a 4-3 win from De Pauw University on May 10. At the Loyola meet, held at Loyola, Armour captured three of the five singles events and split the two doubles events. After defeating the De Pauw team at Greencastle, Armour's racket wielders journeyed to Terre Haute, where they suffered a 5-2 loss at the hands of Indiana State Teachers College on May 11. This was the first time that the Armour and Indiana State Teachers' teams were matched. 124 - The Tennis Toam Gets Together Arnold Quandee Natinchcck Members of team: SINGLES DOUBLES Richard D.

In this meet. Armour secured satisfaction for its former defeat with a 5-2 win. George Williams College yielded in its second meet with Armour on May 20, to the drive of the Engineers, which resulted in a 5-2 win for Armour Against Wheaton College in a meet on May 23. Armour s netmen again came through with a 5-1 win, taking both doubles and all except one of the singles events. May 24 saw Armour matched against the De Kalb University team, which had twice defeated North Central College, who possessed one of the two defeats the Tech team had in its previous scheduled games. However, Armour showed its spirit and skill by trouncing the De Kalb team, 6-1. On May 31, Armour s team met De Pauw for the second time and suffered the third and last loss of the season by a 4-3 score. Loyola and Armour met in their second meet on June 1. The Engineers administered a 7-0 whitewash to close a highly successful season. Arnold Quandee Natincheck Herz Coach Weissman Captain Sumner Schmidt Manager Majorcik WRESTLING SEASON OF 1935-36 Bernard Weissman .......................... Coach Hermon J. Sumner......................... Captain A. S. Majercik............................Manager Under the able leadership of Captain Hermon Sumner, the Tech wrestling squad closed the season with six victories and four losses. This tally is imposing when we look over the tough schedule arranged by Manager A. S. Majercik. The squad was handicapped through- out the season by having one or more its members either sick or injured. Peterson, the veteran heavyweight, was out practically all season because of illness, and Captain Sumner was unable to do his best because of a cracked rib sustained in the meet with Chicago University. Roy Kercher was also forced to drop out at the beginning of the season, due to injury. A glance at the individual records shows that Schmidt, Patterson, Kreml, Tullgren and Dunne did outstanding work. Schmidt's two losses were the first which he suffered in four years of intercollegiate competition. They were probably due to the fact that he was not wrestling in his own weight class. All the men mentioned above fought in every meet, and it is comforting to realize that they will be back with the exception of Schmidt and Patterson. - 126 - Wrestling Squad Peterson Pretty Boy's Face Being Lifted Break It Off. Patl Look Out Below! The season opened inauspicious! with a defeat by the Lincoln-Belmont Y. M. C. A. This loss was not hardfelt since the Lincoln-Belmont squad holds the state Y. M. C. A. cham- pionship. The next bout, with Morton, was an overwhelming victory for Tech, with Morton's only win in the 125-pound class. The third bout, with Chicago, was well fought, and, although the Techawks had visions of downing the Maroons again, they were doomed to disappointment, and had to be satisfied with a single victory by forfeit in the 135-pound class. The North Central meet was the first one out of tov n, and was a very satisfactory and hard-fought victory. Schmidt's bout was by far the most interesting. It was a case of superior skill against strength, but the Techawk skill won out. The return meet with Lincoln-Belmont Y. M. C. A. was another loss for Tech, but a 321 2-to-l, 2-po nt victory over Wright Junior College gave the squad new hope. This hope was evidenced the following week v hen the North Central meet was won with four pins, two time advantages, and a forfeit. The return meet with North Central gave our grapplers another easy victory, although Tullgren was the only man to win by pinning his opponent. As the end of the season neared, the Tech matmen met the Little Nineteen champions, Wheaton, and for the eighth time in four years Armour was defeated. Undaunted by this defeat, the Techawks closed the season with a bang by overwhelmingly defeating Morton Junior College. Captain Sramek Seidenborg Moore BOXING SEASON OF 1935-38 Bernard Weissman Coach Charles S. Sramek..........................Caplain Irby M Hughes............................. Manager The boxing team was a very promising one. and v as composed of over fifteen men of experience and previous training. Seidenberg, Lindahl, Moore, Sramek, Stober, Mahnke, Norris, Chapin, Krok, Joerns, Way, Allegretti. Burman and Dittman comprised the working squad. The season opened with the Tech boxers meeting Loyola on December 3. The Loyola boxers defeated the Engineers, 7-2. Allegretti, 134 pounds, lost the first bout by decision to Loyola’s Herlicky, who evaded Allegretti's roundhouses and did most of the pushing about the ring. Popper, 160 pounds, challenged the hefty Lindenfield and jabbed him to the ropes, but tired later to take most of the punishment and the loss. Stober, 173 pounds, resisted Mor- rison's fourth-bout opening attack and v ith steady jabs and cautious dodges knocked him groggy enough to take the decision and a win for Armour. Dennis Malloy, 148 pounds, pride of Loyola, battled Moore with ingenious, quick technique, but Moore soon checked every advance of Malloy and landed blows himself. The third round found Two-Gun Malloy with both barrels empty and Moore rallying for Armour's second win. May, 126 pounds, lost a close battle to Eur of Loyola, being unable to resist Eur's wild swings. Mahnke, 160 pounds, pushed Dinklewater about the ring with his blows, but missed some wild stabs and the decision. The 1935-36 Boxing Squad Joerns Mixes it Up Stoeber Gets The Decision Moore Shows How It's Done Seeking new fields to conquer. Coach Weissman entered a seven-man team in the Golden Gloves tourney sponsored by the Chicago Tribune. Since this is the first time that Armour had entered this boxing classic, the team was placed in the novice division. Scoring a total of five knockouts and two decisions in the eleven bouts fought, four men of Armour's entry stayed to the quarter-finals. Paul Moore, who went the farthest of any of the men entered, won his first quarter-final fight by a first-round knockout, but lost his second by a close decision. The fighting opened rather inauspiciously for the Techawk squad when Krok lost his in the 147-pound class, but then the fireworks started. Seidenberg won his first bout with a first-round knockout and repeated his performance in his next fight to reach the quarter-finals in the 147-pound class, joerns, fighting at 125 pounds, won his first match by a three-round decision and came back later to put his next opponent to sleep in the first round, thus becoming the second Armour man to reach the quarter-final round. Fighting at 147 pounds, Moore won his first bout handily on a three-round decision, and then had the good fortune to advance to the next round with a bye. The next day brought ill fortune to the Techawk leather pushers. Seidenberg lost his fight on a close decision, and was joined in defeat soon after by Joerns, who received a bad cut on the head and had to retire. An in- jured thumb forced Stober to retire, and with him went the Tech Golden Gloves aspirations. - 129 - Joems Way AUegretti Lindahl Hock INTER-CLASS ATHLETICS One of the big features of Junior Week is the annual baseball game between the faculty and the seniors. The faculty again showed their superiority over the seniors by taking a hard fought game by virtue of the heavy hitting of John Schommer and the stellar pitching of Sammy Bibb. The seniors realized that they still had to graduate and they did not bear down too hard on the grand old men of Armour. It is interesting to note that all of the seniors who played in the ball game took an active part in the Commencement Exercises. The annual inter-class baseball tourna- ment was won by the Senior Class behind the brilliant pitching of Emil Adamek. The Class of '36 defeated the sophomores in the final game by a score of 5 to 4. Siedenberg was the losing pitcher al- though he only allowed the seniors three hits. The game was scouted by Coach Krafft who was on the lookout for new Varsity material. In a tightly contested over time game the Junior Chemicals ended the fall touch- ball tournament by defeating the Senior Electricals 6 to 0. The juniors scored on a short pass from Forberg to Heike which was good for 6 points. The Electricals were held scoreless throughout the entire game and never threatened the Chemi- cal's goal. For the second successive season the Sophomore Class ran off with the inter- class track title at the University of Chi- cago field house. The sophomores gained three first places and six second places for a total of 49 points. George Goes was the outstanding performer for the sophs with firsts in the low and high hurdles. The 880 yard relay was won by the seniors with the sophomores finishing in second place, and the freshmen a good third. The second annual Intramural Swim- ming Meet was won for the second time by the Class of '36. The seniors won both inter-class relays handily, while the juniors took both seconds to put the frosh and sophs out of the points. Although the lov er classes failed to shine in the carni- val, the meet uncovered several men who were good possibilities for the swimming team. The program of Intramural Athletics was under the direction of Bob Ruppert and his hard work and constant effort went far in making the more diversified competition an unqualified success. - i30 - HI INTER-FRATERNITY ATHLETICS The interfraternity ping-pong tourna- ment was won by a well balanced team from the Delta Tau Delta house composed of Laise, Engelthaler, Davis, and Davidson. This team swept through the tournament without losing a match and outclassed all other competition on the campus. Pi Kappa Phi took second honors in the tournament. The interfraternity track meet was swept by the team entered by Phi Pi Phi The result of the meet was never in doubt as Phi Pi Phi stepped off to an early lead and was never seriously threatened. Pi Kappa Phi took second place and Delta Tau Delta third. The Phi Pi Phi relay team composed of Friede, Dunbar, Trzyna, and Lindeman ran away from all com- petitors to take the relay cup easily. The outstanding performance of the meet was turned in by Claire Dunbar who won five events for Phi Pi Phi. Rho Delta Rho won the interfraternity baseball tournament with a well balanced and powerful team. The timely hitting behind the excellent pitching of Sam Taradash gave Rho Delta Rho their victory The final game of the tournament was played between Rho Delta Rho and Phi Kappa Sigma as a feature of the Junior Week program. A strong tennis team composed of Ward James, Bill Hamlin and John Mor- rison swept all competition before them to win for Pi Kappa Phi. The team was characterized by its ability to pull through in the pinches when the going was hard and nobody v as able to upset it. For the seventeenth straight year Phi Pi Phi successfully defended their inter- fraternity basketball title. They defeated Delta Tau Delta 28 to 13 in a contest which was marked by rough play. This is the fourth successive year that Phi Pi Phi and Delta Tau Delta have met in the finals of the basketball tournament and it seems to be becoming an annual event. Kubicka of Phi Pi Phi was the high point man of game with five baskets and a free throw for eleven points. Behind the championship swimming of two freshmen, Dodge and Winblad, the Pi Kappa Phi swimming team ran away with the second annual Interfratemity Swimming Meet. The strong Pi Kappa Phi team took five out of seven firsts to clinch the meet. Triangle, whose relay team took a first the winners missed, aggregated enough points to take second place v hile Phi Kappa Sigma, last year's winners, took third honors. - 131 - The College Praternity is a constructive adjunct to the system of higher education. |—|er objective is to educate, contributing to the qoung men within her sphere of inf I a moral, spiritual, and soci development commensurate with the intellectual training supplied bq the colleges and universities. uence al PHI KAPPA SIGMA Founded at University of Pennsylvania in 1850 ALPHA EPSILON CHAPTER Established in 1898 3236 S.

Conceived as a national organization, one which would place chapters only in the larger schools, it gradually expanded in the east and south, later spreading west- ward to the bounds of the Pacific, until it now contains thirty-seven chapters. Alpha Epsilon of Phi Kappa Sigma was the first such group to be established on the campus of Armour Institute of Technology. Fifteen men in school in the year of 1896 organized the Paragraph Club, their house being located at Thirty-fourth Street and Armour Avenue. After flourishing for two years as a local organization, this Paragraph Club, whose aim had been to petition a good national fraternity, received its charter as Alpha Epsilon Chapter of the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity, marking the coming of the first fraternity on the Armour CHAPTER ROLL ALPHA.............University of Pennsylvania DELTA. .

June 12 - Ml - HISTORY Delta Tau Delta was founded at Bethany College, West Virginia, in 1858. The Rainbow Fraternity, the first distinctly Southern Fraternity, was absorbed by Delta Tau Delta in 1886. Since then rapid expansion has increased the number on the chapter roll to seventy-five. Gamma Beta Chapter of Delta Tau Delta grew from a club that was formed by seven members of the class of 1903. This group progressed under the name of the Monolith Club until April 16, 1900, when it was reorganized and called the Consonant Club. Two of the members of the group were also members of Delta Tau Delta, having come to Armour from Ohio Wesleyan University. At this time the club had a membership of sixteen men. A petition for membership was presented at the Western Division Conference of Delta Tau Delta on February 22, 1901. On May 10. Gamma Beta of Delta Tau Delta was installed at Armour Institute of Technology. CHAPTER ROLL SOUTHERN DIVISION FI University oi Mississippi PH!

October 26 November 21 December 10 December 21 January 21 February 15 March 1 April 11 April 29 .....May 31 - 157 - HISTORY On December 10. 1904, in Charleston, South Carolina, a small but earnest group of collegians of the time-honored College of Charleston, the oldest of municipal colleges, gath- ered together in the home of the parents of one of them. That meeting was the inception of a new fraternity which adopted in 1906 the draft of a constitution and laws providing for a national organization. Incorporation as a national college fraternity was granted by the State of South Carolina on December 23, 1907. The next twenty-eight years saw the expansion ol the fraternity all over the country to a chapter enrollment of forty. In the spring of 1935, Beta Psi Fraternity looked forward to a national affiliation with some larger organization. It was disclosed that the ideals and principles of Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity were similar to Beta Psi, and so a merger was consummated to enable Beta Psi to perpetuate and further disseminate these beliefs through the broader fields of mutual asso- ciation. On May 5, 1935, Beta Chapter of Beta Psi Fraterrtity at Armour institute of Technology was formally installed as the Alpha Phi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. 5?

Graham Eugene A. Heike Albert N. Scrieber Robert Simons John C. Scott Martin L. Holland Cyril L. DuSell The Interfraternity Council of Armour Institute of Technology was organized for the express purpose of promoting Social Fraternities at Armour so that, by unified effort, they could be of greater service to the Institute as well as to each other. The close of every school year since its inception has shown greater accomplishment of this purpose. Through the efforts of the Council last year the Faculty Committee on Fraternity Rela- tions actively came into the Fraternity picture on this Compus, showing a great increase in interest on the part of the Institute Administration. With these bodies functioning together, the Social Fraternities portend to be the strongest and most dynamic force contributing to the men's moral, spiritual, and social development commensurate with the intellectual training supplied to them by the Institute. - 160 - TAU BETA PI HONORARY ENGINEERING Founded at Lehigh University in 1885 BETA CHAPTER OF ILLINOIS Established in 1906 ADVISORY BOARD Joseph B.

Freeman..................... .....Chairman Vice-Chairman Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser The first meeting of the year was held on September 27, 1935, for the purpose of electing a president to fill the then vacant office. At a business meeting held two weeks later the members decided that the branch would follow the general plan of having a technical pro- gram of lectures and demonstrations by guest speakers, papers written and presented by student members, student debates on engineering subjects, and several inspection trips in the Chicago region to various industrial and commercial plants for the demonstration of engineering practices; the social program would include a smoker in the fall and a picnic in the spring. To carry out these plans, program and social committees were appointed, each consisting of two seniors and one junior. The first student paper was presented on October 18, 1935, by Roy J. Colin, vice-presi- dent of the Armour Radio Club, on the subject, Elements of the Superheterodyne. A debate on the subject, Resolved: That utilities should be federally owned, was held on November 1 by student teams consisting of A. Goldsmith and P. Siugg on the affirmative and E. Costello and N. Disenhaus on the negative. The debate was conducted in a formal manner with the audience acting as judges. The fall smoker was held on the evening of the same day at the Triangle Fraternity House. It took the form of a Monte Carlo party with plenty of sandwiches, doughnuts, coffee, and prizes. Several reels of sport pictures and life at Armour were shown. The second student paper of the year was presented by W. Gruca on December 6 on the subject, Long Distance Direct Current Power Transmission. In this he traced the devel- opment of power transmission and compared the advantages and disadvantages of alter- nating and direct current transmission. An inspection trip to the Sanitary District of Chicago power plant at Lockport, Illinois, was made on December 11. On this trip the members were afforded the opportunity of seeing a hydro electric plant in operation and incidentally the operation of the locks in the Sanitary Canal.

CHARTER GRANTED 1909 OFFICERS Albert M. Lane Chairman Anthony Majercik.................................................. Vice-Chairman William G. Rundell.......................................................Secretary Robert O. Patterson................................................... Treasurer Professor Daniel Roesch .........................................Honorary Chairman The activities of the Armour Student Branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers during the year now drawn to a close were directed toward two fundamental objectives. A primary end toward which effort was expended is that of active participation by all of the members in some phase of the society work. An equal amount of energy was exerted toward the realization of a broader concept of the scope of mechanical engineering. Active participation was secured in some degree by utilization of the committee form of business organization. In no small measures are the successes that attended society enterprises directly attributable to the efforts of the members comprising those business units. Two major and several minor inspection trips made during the course of the year provided opportunity for contact with the profession in its seventeen manifestations. The plants visited are widely diversified types, so a well-rounded cross section of industry was exposed to view. In order that social contact between faculty and student members might be established, the entertainment committee provided two smokers within the period. Each was well at- tended; and the nicely balanced programs were enjoyed to maximum extent by the attending group. Prior to this year, the fourth of the society's operation in affiliation with the national group, operation of the branch has been conducted without recourse to a defined code. A committee delegated for the purpose has recently completed formulation of a set of rules and by-laws that clearly set forth the functions of the organization and provide mechanism for attainment of its objectives. It is felt that the branch is now in a somewhat better position to execute its work in a more thorough and comprehensive manner. - 186 - Skach. Janas, Hlousek. Leason, Howell. Jandasek. Sypniewski.

Milleville Bosley Wilhelm ............ Otto Zmeskal, Jr John A. Renstrom........... Professor Harry McCormack ...........President Vice President ...........Treasurer Assistant Treasurer Fortuity Adviser The Beta Student Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers has, under the leadership of the Senior Program Committee, established a new criterion for the place of the student professional society in colleges. It holds that the activities and the program of such society should not be an extension of the classwork routine common to engineering, but should be a stimulus to interests in all other things that make up the vocation of engineering. Thus the topics that make up the program for the first half of the year, Biographical Sketches of Armour Men and Other Successful Chemical Engineers' by various students; Finding a Job by Mr. W. N. Setterberg, Armour's personnel officer; Vocational Guidance in Chemical Engineering Fields by Professor H. McCormack; Training the Young Chemical Engineer in the Petroleum Industry by Dr. K. M. Watson of the Universal Oil Products Co.; Patent Law in Chemical Engineering” by Mr. G. L. Parkhurst of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana; and The Chemical Engineer in the Gas Industry by Mr. R. B. Harper, Vice- President of the Peoples Gas, Light, and Coke Co. For the second half of the year's program it was planned to have speakers talk on the chemical engineering developments of various industries. This year also saw a reorganization of the chapter. A new constitution and by-laws were adopted providing for the election of four seniors and four juniors to the Program Committee in addition to the regular officers. The bulk of the work falls on the seniors, the juniors listening in to the discussion of the problems confronted by the committee, thus gain- ing experience for their following year. The general policy actively sponsored by the chair- man has been decentralization of responsibility to as many members as possible to keep alive organization enthusiasm. So effective was this policy that it may be said, in no uncer- tain terms, that this year was the Beta Chapter s most successful year. - 188 - Hagonauer, Gray. Forte. Lundberg Little, Haase. Heike.

Allcgretti, Harman, Levy The highlight of the year—an event that will be long remembered by all its members, and in which practically all its members took part, was the joint meeting with the Chicago section of the national organization held December 11, 1935. In the style and pace that the Class of '36 Chemicals have set, the whole student chapter presented the entire program. The reception was held in the Faculty Club. After the dinner, which was served in the Student's Union, the joint meeting was called to order. A brief business session was held at which G. J. Fink, Chairman of the Chicago Section, presided. The meeting was then turned over to H. P. Milleville, Chairman of the Student Chapter The first part of the program consisted of a series of seven short talks—Presentation of Results of Unit Operations at the Armour Tech Chemical Engineering Laboratories. They were: A Mathematical Approach to Filtration by O. Zmeskel; Some Deductions from a study of Filtration” by J. W. Weiland, A New Method of Nitration by J. F. Kahles, “Steam Jacketed Kettles by W. J. Tallafuss; Distillation Column Calculations by O. E. Norris. Heat Transfer in a Gas Fired Furnace by R. F. Berger, and Film and Dropv ise Condensa tion by J. H. Johnsen. After the talks the meeting adjourned to the chemical engineering laboratories. Here all the equipment used in the regular chemical engineering course was in operation under the able supervision of N. Balai, L. W. Robbie, and P. R. Schultz. The program thus pre- sented was an occasion that prompted Dean Heald to write: Chairman of the Student Chapter of A.I.Ch E Dear Mr. Millovillc I wish to congratulate the student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers on the excellent presentation of the program and exhibits at the joint meeting with the Chicago Section held December 11th. I have never had an opportunity to see a better example of effec- tive student co-operation, and I think a great deal of credit is due to the entire group. In arranging and carrying out this program you have set a high mark for achievement which will be something for succeeding groups to aspire to equal. Very sincerely yours. Signed. H. T. HEALD. Dean If such co-operation and interest continues, the chapter has every reason to look for- ward to another prominently successful year. £ f f � � - - £ f f f f � }jt t ft .« � li t ® � A, $ $ f | y v w if m ft £ ?

Stevens................................................................ Secretary Cyril L. DuSell Treasurer Professor Joseph B. Finnegan ..............................................Faculty Adviser By means of an extensive program the Fire Protection Engineering Society during the past year has successfully upheld the basic purposes of its formation, namely, those of bring- ing the members into closer contact with men experienced in the field of fire protection engineering and insurance and of fostering a spirit of fellowship among the students of the department. Speakers covering all phases of the field presented their views and experiences at the regular bi-weekly meetings of the society. The first meeting of the school year was ap- propriately given over to a discussion of The Engineer's Service to the Assured” by Mr. J. R. Wilson. Chief Engineer of the Marsh-McLennan firm of insurance agents and brokers and a member of the first class in Fire Protection at Armour. Mr. Wilson emphasized the fact the fire protection engineer must be able to present recommendations tactfully to the assured, and must consider at all times that his service is to his client as well as to the company and agent represented. The subject of Automobile Insurance was thoroughly covered by successive talks by Mr. Dixon and Mr. Goodwin. These men are authorities on this subject and spoke on the History and Development” and Rating Statistics, respectively. Mr. D. M. Wood, an independent insurance broker, gave a very interesting talk on the handling of “Large National Lines” as regards all types of insurance coverage. His talk brought out the practical limits of self-insurance as specifically disclosed in his recent survey of the Kroger-Consumer Grocery interests. Mr. Charles P. Holmes, an authority on oil risks and engineer of the Western Actuarial Bureau presented a most interesting lecture, supplemented by moving pictures, on the ex- - 190 - The Fire Protection Engineering Society Smoker at the Lawson Y tinguishing of oil fires both in our country and Roumania. The use of high explosives, alter proper preparation and discretion, was the keynote in the success of extinguishing an oil fire that had raged in Roumania for five years. Mr. Gent, of the Illinois Inspection Bureau, gave us a very practical insight on the subject of ''Motorized Fire Apparatus. The Society was very fortunate to hear from T. Alfred Fleming, of the National Board of Fire Underwriters, on his tour of the Middlewest. Mr. Fleming's talk on the Proper Re- lation of Building Construction to Fire Losses was shared with the Western Society of Engineers and the Armour Architectural Society. On March 20th the annual Smoker was held at the Lawson Y. M. C. A. This inno- vation was made in an effort to make it possible for more alumni of the Society to attend. The results were very gratifying and one of the best smokers in the history of the society was commended to the memories of some hundred fire protects. Landrith Parker, honor student of the class of '38, was awarded the Crosby-Fishe- Forester Handbook of Fire Protection by R. A. Peterson, president of Salamander, on the merit of his achievements as a freshman. PROGRAM May 31—Election of Officers. October 18—“The Engineer's Service to the Assured by Mr. J. R.

This is not, however, the first organization of students of civil engineering, as the Armour Civil Engineering Society, now extinct, dates back to 1906. The first step toward organizing the W. S. E. was made on October 20, 1919, when the officers of the A. C. E. S. were authorized to investigate the advisability of changing the society and making it the Armour Branch of the Western Society of Engineers. A month later, on November 17, the new constitution was signed by the twenty-three charter members, and the organization immediately resumed its functions under a new name and by-laws. The advantages of having the parent society near to the branch are many-fold as was pointed out by Professor Penn at the first meeting of the year. There are available the club rooms and the library which is one of the best of its kind in the Middle West. Also connections can be made to obtain speakers to carry out the aims of the society. Throughout the year a varied program was presented, consisting of speakers ac- tively employed in the civil engineering profession, and those with the idea of interesting the students in a more liberal education. The innovation of inviting speakers in other than strictly engineering lines is in tune with the modern trend whereby the engineer is being called upon to aid in solving business and social problems. The idea of changing the original constitution which limited the membership to junior and senior members of the department of civil engineering was brought out last year, but - 192 - A ‘'Civil Engineer W.S.E. Smoker at Triangle House it lacked a majority vote after the change was approved by the parent organization. How- ever, this year it was deemed that the change in the constitution enabling sophomores, juniors, and seniors in all departments to be members would be to the advantage of all of those concerned, and the necessary majority vote was received. Now the opportunities for a member to receive the much stressed generalized education are increased. The highlights of the season's program are the all-engineering-society meetings, two of which were sponsored by the W. S. E. Not to be overshadowed are the two smokers held by this organization during the year. The ever popular Monte Carlo Smoker held at the Triangle fraternity house proved to be a huge success.

ARMOUR ARCHITECTURAL SOCIETY The architectural students of Armour are banded together into an organization known as the Armour Architectural Society. The aim of the Society is to present a number of social and professional meetings during the school year. By these gatherings, it is hoped to promote closer relationships between the architectural students, the practicing architect, and between departments. Each class elects a massier and sous-massier. The massier of the junior class is presi- dent of the A. A. S. and the sous-massier is the vice-president. The social committee is also chosen from the members of the junior class. The opening social event of this year was a smoker given November 1 in honor of the freshman class at the Lawson Y. M. C. A. The speakers were members of the Architectural Department faculty and Mr. Setterberg. At this event, the freshmen were introduced to the upper classmen. The annual Arx Dance, named the Charrette, was held February 7th at the Steuben Club with music by Jimmie Le Roy and his orchestra. The dance was well attended by members of all the departments and many of the faculty. The crowning feature of this social year is always the initiation of the freshmen into the society, and the annual Arx Banquet. On the afternoon of this day, usually, in May, the freshmen are gathered together at the Art Institute and headed into Grant Park. Here they cavort through various side-splitting rites which fit them for full membership in the A. A. S. The banquet in the evening lends a touch of dignity and formality to Hell Day. From time to time, talks and lectures are presented to the students by prominent archi- tects in addition to the above events. Two of the most outstanding of these talks were given by Mr. Eugene Voita and Mr. John Holabird. Mr. Voita, who is a member of Armour night school faculty, presented a talk on his recent trip to China and Japan. He also had an exhibit of some very fine sketches which he made during the trip. Mr. Holabird, a prominent Chicago architect and a member of Armour's Architectural Advisory Committee, talked on the subject. The Relations of Architect to Client. His talk was illustrated with slides of some of his work. After he concluded his talk a general discussion ensued in which the students were at liberty to ask questions of Mr. Holabird. The talk of John Lloyd Wright centered about a modern beach house which he designed and built on the shore of Lake Michigan, not far from Michigan City, Indiana. The construction of the building which v as of a very modern type was explained by the use of pictures taken at various stages of completion. - 194 - Tho Architects Hold a Very Successful Dance Massier.....

The club has been meeting in the civil drafting room during the lunch hour for the last four semesters and enjoys a large and varied membership, A tournament of some kind has always been in progress each semester, and the chess team has engaged in matches with Wright Junior College, Northwestern University, the Uni- versity of Chicago, the Oak Park Chess Club, and the Polo-American Chess Club. In addition, the following teams were encountered in an inter-state tourney which was held at North- western at the beginning of April: Purdue University, University of Cincinnati, Wisconsin University, and Wayne University of Detroit. In the absence of Prof. H. Ensz, who is on leave during this semester pursuing a fellow- ship at Harvard on the subject of soil mechanics, Mr. Billy Goetz acted as faculty sponsor. The club's officers for the past semester were A S. Majercik, president; A. Rune, vice-president; N. Gerber, secretary; and B. Wilhelm, treasurer. FENCING CLUB At the beginning of the school year the Armour Fencing Club received a decided setback in that Hanns Fischer, faculty advisor and coach of the team, did not return to the Institute. William Setterberg, who had taken an interest in the Club, volunteered his services as faculty advisor which were gratefully accepted. Coaching of the team was taken care of by Co- Captains Trzyna and Quandee who were assisted by Manager Emmerich. Manager Balai arranged an extensive schedule of meets for the season, but due to the Club's lack of proper equipment, a number of the more important meets had to be canceled. Next year the Club anticipates being in a position which will enable it to take all comers. MATH CLUB It is only natural that in an engineering school there should be a number of students interested in theoretical and applied mathematics to the extent of investigating beyond the scope of the class-room. Meetings held approximately every two weeks are open to all inter- ested students. The principal aim of the club has been to foster the opportunity of preparing and presenting a technical lecture before a group whose interests are the same as those of the speaker, and in this connection, many outstanding papers have been presented by student speakers. - 196 - Waldron.

In 1931 the club was expanded and now occupies a suite of twelve rooms on the second floor of Chapin Hall, third entrance. Because the club rooms are so convenient to the school there is always someone on deck to challenge to a game of ping-pong, billiards, chess, checkers, or a foursome of bridge can be made up. Ping-pong and pool tournaments are held each year and the winner in each event receives a club pin. All Armour students are eligible for membership in the Campus Club. The club rooms are open every school day and all students are invited to come up to the rooms and acquaint themselves with the club and its members. The club is primarily an organization of social concern, and offers to students a place to gather for dis- cussion, for study, and for relaxation. The spirit of friendship and good feeling which pre- vails among the members has been one of the main factors in placing the organization among the foremost at the Institute. - 197 - J. Scott.

RIFLE CLUB OFFICERS Henry Staudt Hardy McDaniels ... Edgar Auler ...... Raymond Starmann Robert Miller .... President Captain Treasurer Manager Range Oflicer Notwithstanding the fact that the Armour rifle club opened the 1935-36 season with a group composed for the most part of inexperienced underclassmen, the members have practiced diligently to develop their markmanship. With the return of only two experienced riflemen, aided by promising underclassmen, the club has developed a squad of men hold- ing good records. In the mid-season the club devoted itself for several days to improving the range and to enlarging, remodeling and improving the Rifle Club adjacent to the range. These improvements were found necessary because of inadequate and improper safety and lighting conditions existing at the club previous to this year. Under the competent instruction of Henry Staudt the members of the club have been taught the proper care and safe use of equipment. Range Officer R. Z. Miller has succeeded in enforcing rigid rules formulated by the club officers pertaining to the handling of firearms in the presence of other club members. There has been little difficulty in learning four positions used in most matches, namely, prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing. The few difficulties encountered were, for the most part, overcome by instruction in conjunction with constant practice. The riflemen have found the equipment owned by the club to be extremely accurate and in a good state of repair. Preceding the Christmas holidays the Rifle Club held a meet in which all members were eligible with the exception of H. Staudt and H M. McDaniels. Although many men shot excellent targets, landasek topped the list of contestants and was presented with a .22 caliber rifle. This match developed spirit and self-confidence in the organization. By virtue of this match the club expects many high scores inming matches. The team consists of riflemen: H. Staudt, H. McDaniels, R. Starmann, J. Ratto, V. Jandasek, W. Labes, J. Prochaska, R. Z. Miles, W. Otto and A. Dempsey. Although only one meet has been held with another school during the first semester, the team shot very well. This match was with the University of Akron. The team showed up well against this organization under State Militarism. Future matches are to be held with Chicago, Northwestern, De Paul, Purdue. Illinois, St. Johns, Rollo School of Mines. Jeffersonn City Pistol and Rifle Club and Nebraska University. - 198 - CHEMALUMN In the fall of 1934, the chemical engineering students of the class of '36 founded this organization, Chemalumn, for the purpose of furthering the friendships which had been formed during the two preceding years at Armour as well as to form an organization to con- tinue after commencement. We have been socially active since our organization in that we have held several picnics, dances, as well as parties. Because of the enjoyment which we have derived from our association and friendly get-togethers, we feel that our organization has thus far been a success, and we firmly believe that we will be equally successful in the years to come. ARMOUR TECH RADIO CLUB Due to the impetus of the radio amateurs attending Armour, the Armour Tech Radio Club was reorganized in the year 1934-35, and has reached a high state of activity this year. The year has been spent in establishing the club in a new suite of rooms. A certain amount of communication has been carried on with other universities; regular schedules are planned for next year. It is the purpose of the Radio Club to foster interest and activity in radio com- munication as well as to be a place where good fellows gather. TRUSS CLUB As the present college year draws to a close, the Truss Club concludes its twelfth year of successful operation as an organization on the Armour campus. The basic purpose of the organization is to unite men of good personal character and to form a closer bond between Armour Institute and its members. The social calendar has been dotted with Alumni Smokers, Radio Dances, Bridge Parties, and get-togethers. These activities were conducted in the club rooms because of the degree of informality which they afford. The spirit of friendship and comradship manifested by the members has been invaluable and have aided materially in drawing another pleasant year to a close. ARCHERY CLUB The sport of kings of target and field shooting with bow and arrow has been at- tracting increased interest at Armour with the growth of the new Archery Club. A range has been provided by the school, and regular practice sessions have been held during the fall and spring. A target and other equipment have been secured by the club, while instruction is also given to new men who are interested in making their ov n archery tackle as well as gaining skill in target and field shooting. Competition with other schools is also planned for the future. CHINESE STUDENTS' CLUB The Armour Tech Chinese Students' Club has made great progress since its organiza- tion last year. Its many aims were fulfilled and already has three more new members. Quite a few inspection trips were conducted to plants and factories last semester. It is hoped that our program for this semester will be even more successful. A joint meeting with the Chinese students of Lewis Institute and of the University of Chicago has been planned for this semester. In this meeting it is hoped that economical problems relating to China may be discussed, and also problems of intellectual and social interest. - 199 - LAGNIAPPE Unless you come from around New Orleans, Brother, you don't know what lagniappe means. It's the thirteenth banana thrown in for good measure when you buy a dozen. No yearbook ever did such a thing as this in all the history of yearbooks. That's one reason we're doing it. What happened was this: the cussed thing has to come out on even pages before we can start a new section. For the rest of the sections in the book we've managed to sidestep this horrible contingency. This time it got us down. So, instead of camouflaging, we're coming right out and admitting that we are nachally in a jam. Of course, we could print our own picture, or a picture of our Chevrolet, or even another picture of John J. Schommer. But probably you wouldn't thrill to any of 'em very much—except maybe the Chevrolet. If we had only sold some more space to the clubs, it would have come out just right. Or if our budget was not already strained to the breaking point we could have had some more snapshots and that would have made it. But we didn't and it was. —Ed.

I have a 5 KW, double-barreled, 9-passenger, triple valve, non-skid, Testinghouse outfit, complete with U. S. Safety appliances and Timkin rear axle, which I use in connection with 220 volt, hammerless, self-winding, auto- matic, balloon tires. I have a great deal of trouble with my galena since taking Lydia Pinkham's compound, but get better results by painting it with iodine. I can get good volume with my guaranteed, cone clutch, self-filling, over head valve, regenerative vacuum cleaner, but on Sundays I find that my detector keeps interfering with the differential making it necessary to shunt a small .00025 M. F. washboard between the piano and the kitchen sink. On taking the matter up with Mr. Marconi he advises me to use safety pins instead of the intermittent shock-absorbers and on clear days my capacity will be increased 8.452 per cent Fahrenheit, but Einstein thinks my universal joint is loose and I ought to use a little more yeast and a copper boiler. This, o! course, is a matter of taste and I am sure you will agree with me that the high-frequency, weather-proof, 5 string, hardwood, resistance coupled, super- heated piston rings will work just as well if I use plenty of sand on the hills and some English on the cue ball. 1 get S. O. L. and P. D. Q. practically every night by tuning to C sharp end I'm sure I can pull in A. W. O. L. and perhaps C. O. D. by cutting in an interlocking, 10 ampere, barbed wire, non-polarized, second harmonic, psychromatic, muffler between the honey comb coil and the Washington Monument. Do you think I would get better results by connecting a high voltage circuit breaker in series with the adding machine and the disconnected ampli lying conduit from the magneto? Neither do I, but it is practically impossible to get good spread rods, so unless I do something to reduce the static and increase the potential of the motometer, the fluctuations of the vario-meter will tend to synchronize with the alterations of the intermediate stages of the double screw kick-back preventer and burn out the windings in the eccentric bushings. Any suggestions you may have will be appreciated by me if you will enclose a stamp to pay for the one I am using. Yours very truly, A. JUICER - 203 - At last, after many months of diogenean searching, we have stumbled upon the vast underlying difference between those two bitterly opposed factions of modern science, physics and engineering, and we hereby present to you the fruits of our untiring efforts in hopes of broadening your outlook upon this phenomenal situation. The physicist claims that an inch, by definition, is that given length of thoriated tungsten wire, .0563 millimeters in diameter, which when heated in argon to a temperature of 1535.35 degrees centigrade, in an evacuated atmosphere of 5.54 centimeters of spectrosopicly pure mercury, by a current of pi ampers, will emit 8.965 x 10 electrons per second, the measure- ments being taken under standard conditions. A renowned professor has determined this length accurate to seventeen decimal places. The plodding engineer on the other hand defines his inch as the distance between the first and second joints of his left forefinger. As you look through the humorous section of any engineering publication in this modern day and age you are very surprised indeed i( your eyes don't run across the engineer's comical but threadworn tale of the misplaced decimal point. With this point in mind we will proceed to tell a slide rule joke to end all slide rule jokes. It seems that Joe Bush, an enterprising young engineer, after several months of experi- menting and painstaking labor, had perfected what he considered to be a perfect auto- mobile. At last he was to harvest the reward of his masterful effort. The day of the first trial had come. To Joe's great astonishment and amazement, as the power was turned on, the car, instead of performing its normal function proceeded to turn handsprings and to set upon a neighboring pile of potatoes, peeling them with great proficiency to the accompani- ment of a noise that sounded like a regiment of skeletons doing a tap dance on a tin roof during a hail storm. When the chaos had finally spent itself and normal living conditions once more set in, peering over the edge of his slipstick, Joe was heard to mutter something about a decimal point.

TWO STORES FOR MEN AND BOYS Milwaukee, Cicero and Irving Park Blvd. LOCOMOTIVES A young lady recently visited the locomotive works and then later told some friends how a locomotive is made. You pour a lot of sand into a lot of boxes, she explained, and you throw old stove lids and things into a furnace, and then you empty the molten stream into a hole in the sand, and everyone yells and swears. Then you pour it out and let it cool and pound it, and then you put it on a thing that bores holes in it. Then you screw it together, and paint it, and put steam in it, and then take it to the drafting room and make a blue print of it. But I forgot one thing. They have to make a boiler. One man gets inside and one man remains outside, and they pound frightfully; and they tie it to the other thing, and you ought to see it go. I suppose you have heard Bob Bums tell the one about how tough the hogs are down in Van Buren, Ark.’ Bob says that one day his dad was out in the field blowing up stumps, and that after setting the dynamite it failed to go off. His father being a very cautious man then walked off and left the dynamite. One of these very tough Van Buren hogs was rooting around in the field and ate the seventeen sticks of dynamite his father had left. That even ing when the hog was in the barnyard a mule kicked him in the side Well, the barn was blown down, the windows broken in the house a hundred yards away, and for a couple of days, folks, we had a mighty sick hog on our hands.

PETTER COMPANY INCORPORATED 410-412-414 West Main Street, Louisville, Kentucky Drunk— Believe it or not, oflisher. I’m hunting for a parking space.” Officer— But you haven't an automo- bile. Drunk— Yesh, I have. It’s in the parkin' plash I'm looking for. First Graduate— Give me a steak, and make it thick and rare. Second Graduate— Give me a steak, and make it thicker and rarer. Third Graduate — “Chase the bull through here, and I'll bite him on the run. The train came to a sudden grinding stop, causing the passengers to jump. What has happened, conductor? cried a nervous lady. We ran over a cow. Was it on the track? “No, replied the disgusted conductor, we chased the cow into the barn. A Harvard Prof, says: It is egregious obscurantism to postulate that syncopa- tion in harmonization has an immoral connotation. Translated for the engineer: Jazz won't hurt your morals, if any. Boastful Frosh— Oh, yes. My father is in the newspaper business. Cynical Soph— Where's his stand? ■■ The college professor and his wife were entertaining at dinner. Suddenly a child's voice was heard from the floor above: Mother. What is it, Archie? she asked. There's only clean towels in the bath- room. Shall I start one? Prof.— Are you cheating? Stooge— No, sir, I was only telling him his nose was dripping on my paper. ■- Mary had a little lamb Some salad and dessert, And then she gave me the wrong address. That dirty little flirt. Back— I have been told that marriage is a serious word. Fire— You're wrong there. Marriage is a sentence. Prof—“Name two ways to turn a man's head. Co-ed— Rattle money and rustle a skirt. •- Hear about the fellow that invented a device for looking through a brick wall? No; what does he call it? A window, sap!” Edyth— I suppose that this talk about a college man's life being all wine, women, and song is exaggerated. Frederyck— It certainly is; you very seldom hear singing in the dormitories. I think that I shall never see A D as lovely as a B — A B whose rounded form is pressed Upon the records of the blessed. A D comes easily—and yet, It isn't easy to forget; D's are made by fools like me, But only God can make a B ! A widow, whose husband had died some months previously, also died, and when she came to the pearly gate, asked to see her former husband. What's his name? asked St. Peter. Joe Smith, replied the widow. “You'll have to give me some better identification than that, said St. Peter kindly. “How about his last words? We classify new arrivals by their words on earth. Well, she replied, just before he died Joe turned to me and said, ‘Mary, if you ever kiss another man I'll turn over in my grave'. “Oh, sure I know him, said St. Peter; “We call him ‘Whirling Joe' up here! A customer stepped into a gun store, apparently intent on making a purchase. The salesman set about showing him what was in stock. The first weapon brought out was a handsome, single trig- ger, over and under Francot, and just about the last word in a very swell shot- gun. The customer was quite interested, but the price, $600, was far beyond his means. The next assortment shown was a group of English doubles brought out by gunsmiths known all over the world for their expert craftmanship. Still too high, thought the customer, and then asked if they had something cheaper. Yes, the salesman said, there were some inexpensive models made in this country and he could let him have one in the neighborhood of $40. I'll take one of those, the customer told the salesman with considerable en- thusiasm. “It's really going to be a very simple wedding. Murphy arrived home unsteady as the New Deal and decorated for valor with a large black eye. Mrs. Murphy took one look at him, grunted: “Drunk an' fightin' again, is it! An' who were yez fightin' with? “Casey. “An' ya' let Casey give you that shiner?” I did. “What did he have in his hand? “A shovel it was. “An’ what did ya have in yer hand? “Mrs. Casey's leg but it wasn't much good against a shovel! Some folks wonder what the Morman wedding ceremony is like. Roughly this is it: Preacher (to groom)—“Do you take these women to be your lawful wedded wives? Groom— I do. Preacher (to brides)—“Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded hus- band? Brides— We do. Preacher—“Some of you girls in the back will have to speak a little louder if you want to be included in this. There is a story making the rounds about the dear old lady who had bought a canary, which sang sweetly for a while, and then suddenly lapsed into silent, brooding melancholy. She went back to the store where she bought it and made a complaint. “Your bird wants a mate, madam, the clerk replied. “Is my bird a male or female? she asked. Really, I can't say. You will have to find that out for yourself. “But how can I tell? “Why, very easily. All you have to do is get two worms, a male and a female, and put them both in the cage. If your bird is a male it will eat the female worm, if it is a female it will eat the male worm. “But how can I tell a male worm from a female worm? “Madam, replied the clerk, politely, “this is a bird store. You will have to get that information from a worm dealer. Ch. E.— Why is a locomotive like a baby? M. E.— I'll bite. Ch. E.— Because it has a little tender behind. May I print a kiss on your lips? he said. And she nodded her sweet permission. And they went to press and we rather guess They printed a full edition. “But one edition is hardly enough, She said with a charming pout; So again in the press the form was placed, And they got some extras out. - 208 - n 4 I LG V E N T AT ION a u C As C( tdt££ojtc uf' ILG ELECTRIC VENTILATING COMPANY 2850 N. Crawford Ave.. Chicago W. H. Hallstein, Treas., '14 W H. Rietz, Vice-Pres., '15 Eager Frosh— What makes a locomo- tive run? Clever M. E.— Say, if you had hot coals in your pants, you'd run, too! Connect 20,000 volts across a pint. If the current jumps it, the whiskey is poor. If the current causes a precipitation of lye. tin, arsenic, iron slag, and alum, the whiskey is fair. If the liquor chases the current back to the generator, you've got good whiskey. Small boy—“I'm not afraid of going to the hospital, mother, I'll be brave and take my medicine, but I ain't going to let them palm off a baby on me like they did on you—I want a pup. First Imbiber— I found (hie) a half dollar. Second Stew Tsh mine, it'sh got my name on it. First Sot— Whats'h your name? Second Stiff— E. Pluribus Unum. First— Yea, it'sh yours. SPIES BROTHERS, Inc.

At the end of the period a little girl, age nine, handed in a blank sheet of paper. “Why, isn't there anything you'd like to be v hen you grow up? asked the teacher. Yes, teacher. I'd like to get married, but I don't know how to draw it, replied the little girl.

The father replied, Well, son, do you see those two men standing on that corner? Well, if you were drunk you would see twice as many, which would be four. The small boy looked first at his father then at the corner. Yes, but Daddy, there is only one man standing there on that comer. Prof. Sprague— Mr. Healy, how far were you from the correct answer? Mr. Healy— Three seats, sir. Sot (to bartender)— Gimme a horse's neck.” Drunk— Gimme the tail. There's no use killing two horses. Blondie — ‘T got the devil when I eloped.
