SENIORS Raymond A. Peterson President John F. Kahles Vice-President Victor J. Kropf Secretary SOCIAL COMMITTEE Robert M. Paulsen Chairman Donald C. Graham Donald E. Howell Edward W. Olson George W. Ormsby Leonard W. Robbie Edward J. Wolniak I. 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.

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.
