ADELSC 7 3 ) ★ COMPILED AND EDITED BY LOUIS LANGE JR.—EDITOR IDRIS THOMAS—BUSINESS MANAGER PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS O F ARMOUR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CHICAGO ..ILLINOIS PHYSICS BUILDING AND REAR OF MISSION that these pages of the Cycle of 1938 will be capable of portraying with perfect clarity the events of the past year to anyone browsing through them. It has been the aim of the Cycle to serve as a guide and record for succeeding classes at Armour to follow if they choose. With the happen- ings and traditions of the year just passed thus recorded. Tec- hawks of the future will have a reliable precedent upon which to base their conduct and actions in their years at Armour. Thus old traditions will remain intact; or if revision is deemed advisable, the change will be a betterment. Further, it has been the purpose of this volume to preserve, by means of pictures and prose, memories of events that will be remem- bered with pleasure by Tech men forever. If, when memory of those sometimes happy, occasionally discouraging, and always busy days during the year of 1938 become dim, the turning of the pages of this year's Cycle will refresh and make them live again, then the intent of this book will have been accomplished. With these thoughts in mind, we, the staff, present to you THE CYCLE OF 1938. ENTRANCE TO MACHINERY HALL Since the earliest days of Armour Institute of Technology, it has been the purpose of the Institute to provide all students, who care to apply themselves, with an engineering education grounded in a scientific founda- tion. Studies have not been the sole fare of the student engineers although a major portion of their time has been so occupied. Athletics, fraternities, publications, clubs, and dances have aided in relieving the monotony of classes. The true Techawk has rigorously applied himself to his books and, in his leisure time, has enjoyed and participated in the various extra- curricular activities which capture his interest. The faculty has evinced a keen interest in the students they come in contact with, both inside and out- side of classes. They have been only too glad to encourage and aid the students in their different campus activities as well as to advise them in their engineering pursuits. The intangible something that has nourished Armour Tech along since its conception, with the preaching of a sermon, to a school with definite and forward-looking ideas may well be termed The Spirit of Armour Institute . We, the staff, in appreciation of that something that has helped make this book possible, dedicate the CYCLE OF 1938 ★ REAR ENTRANCE OF MISSION RESEARCH FOUNDATION AND ALUMNI OFFICE SCHOOL BOOKSTORE I.

Paul Parker - COUNSEL Director Vice-President Treasurer Secretary Associate Director Assistant Treasurer Assistant Secretary Attorney Attorney The Research Foundation of Armour Institute of Technology was established to aid in the handling of research problems submitted by industrial executives, public bodies, and members of the engineering profession for investigation. Close cooperation between the Foundation and industry has provided an effective and economical method of carrying on research and has produced notable results as the second year of research is drawing to a close. A large part of the apparatus and laboratories used in the instruction of students at Armour Institute of Technology has proven adaptable for use in conducting scientific and engineering research. In addition to this equipment, facilities specifically designed for re- search have been provided as rapidly as required by the undertaking of additional pro- jects. Some of the equipment added includes a coal laboratory, electronics laboratory, fil- tration laboratory, heat transfer laboratory, spectroscopic laboratory, laboratories for ex- treme high pressure work, and a well-equipped machine shop. Many members of the Armour Tech faculty have had extended experience in research and are recognized as authorities in their respective fields. They have been made mem- bers of the staff of the Research Foundation. Other men of adequate scientific and engi- neering abilities have been added to the staff to handle research problems.

Hamilton The sun climbing slowly above the haze that hovered in the morning sky of Thursday of last September 16th cast its rays upon a large group of young men clustered about the buildings that lay immediately to the south of 33rd and the Tracks. It seemed strange to have this congregation be- cause this neighborhood had been semi-deserted for a considerable period. Closer inspection re- vealed that this band was the group that had successfully survived the scrutiny given their re- cords from high school and were to be admitted to the Armour Institute of Technology as the cur- rent freshman class. They were to be the wearers of the green, the traditional foes of the sophomore class and the group that was to develop into the cocksure and dashing class of 41. However, they now appeared anything but the new freshman class. They were definitely anything but cock- sure and dashing. Assembled in small bands on the walks that flanked two large buildings which they were later to recognize as Mission and Main, they conversed in subdued tones. Evi- dently all were obsessed with an overpowering desire to learn the mysteries that veiled engineer- ing for they responded to the call to register at Armour Tech for the approaching semester. Ordered into the main building, they entered giving little thought to the many, many times that they would reenter the same school before graduating from the Institute. Upon entering they embarked on a new and final step in their education. They were prepared to enter and submit to a long and hard routine of school work. Realizing that both parents and friends expected commendable scholarship from them, they entered with a determined stride —a stride that might have been interpreted as evi- dence of the spirit of the class of '41. Inside of old Main and up the stairs to the dynamo lab trooped the freshmen. Here, after the amount of their tuition, fees, and deposit charges were determined, they were instructed to adjourn to the cashier's office where their bill was to be paid. There a long line of freshmen milled out- side of the office awaiting their turn to pay. Then to the library where class enrollment was being as- signed. Again a long line faced the freshmen. In fact it appeared as though the entire morning was to be wasted standing in lines that advanced at seem- ingly immeasurably slow paces. True a considerable portion of the morning was spent restlessly in these long lines, but the time was not wasted. Con- versation between the waiting, impatient freshmen did not lag while they stood in the halls, and this impersonal and informal meeting was actually the first meeting of the incoming class of freshmen. No one attempted to obtain order; there were no of- ficers, but the gathering was a meeting neverthe- less. Enrollment, having been completed, the group was cautioned to return the following day for special examinations. Orientation tests they were called. It wasn't fair, tests scheduled before in- struction had begun. It was little wonder that the entire group appeared disheartened before the tests —and left afterwards in a similar mood. Orienta- tion tests they had learned were anything but an encouragement for an incoming group of students. Those that met afterwards and discussed the tests received some consolation, however, for it appeared that the majority of the class had suffered similarly. When classes began, the freshman was indeed lost. Signs that identified the various buildings of the Institute were not sufficient to keep confusion from overwhelming him. He was bewildered among [30] the sophomores, juniors, and seniors who monopo- lized the sidewalks renewing acquaintances that had been severed during the summer vacation. To the mere freshman it seemed as though it would be impossible ever to meet and hold friends around so many strange students in the crowd that thronged about the school. The few friends that had been made were evidently swallowed up in the mass of students. The freshman was entirely alone; the freshman class was only a shapeless mass. Fortunately for a large number of the fresh- man class a class assembly was announced during the first week of school when confidence was temporarily gone. The meeting was the first formal gathering of the class, and it was presided over by officials of the Institute. These officers un- folded the rules and traditions the freshmen were expected to recognize. They enumerated the pre- cedents that had been established by Armour men during the forty odd years in which the school operated. Told that Armour freshmen can and do develop a college spirit and loyalty that often surprises upper classmen, the freshmen secretly determined to work for the benefit of selves and class. Inspired by the advice of the speakers, the freshman found little difficulty in returning to his place in life at Armour. Simultaneously with the announcement of the Freshman Handshake came the compulsory notice of the wearing of the green. These announcements appearing as they did brought both cheer and dis- dain to the freshmen. The handshake was an in- novation that was new to the freshmen, but all were familiar with the custom of donning the fresh- man with green caps. The class was expected to believe that the wearing of the green caps was a distinction, a means of identifying the freshmen for the benefit of the class and instilling cooper- ation among the members. Few members of the class were willing to concede the validity of any of these claims. The Freshman Handshake was held soon after school began, and it was a means of bringing the class into a group where they had an opportunity to become acquainted with upper classmen and instructors of the school. Sitting in the assembly hall they heard officers of the upper classes, coaches from the athletic department, and administrative officials of the Institute tell of Armour life and activity. In this position the freshman realized that his first impressions of Armour were in error. Here he had heard a representative group of Armour men and students. These men did not appear to be bent upon subjugating the new students, but in- stead they wished to aid and advance the new students that had arrived at Armour. Then, after laughing through Ze Captain of Ze Marguerite,” all joined full heartedly in singing the song3 of Armour. The feeling of inferiority that had plagued many of the class gradually disappeared amid the laughing and talking that accompanied the entire student body as they adjourned to the Student Union for cider and doughnuts. While the mem- bers of the class alternately munched doughnuts and sipped cider, they were given exhibitions in boxing and wrestling by members of these two Armour teams. Here, again, the class observed concrete examples of the sportsmanship and the fair play that accompanies all athletic endeavor at the school. The athletic performances concluded the activities for the evening, and those who had attended the Handshake began to depart. Few left feeling the same change that had been wrought in the freshmen by the events of the evening. While each member of the class realized that upper class- men and instructors were still strangers, these groups were no longer held as cold and hostile men who wished further to subordinate the fresh- men. New students now considered themselves an integral cog in the student body, and although it was realized that the part played was a minor one, all determined to guard this position zealously.

Sophomores encountered little resistance in depriving these isolated freshmen of their treasured belongings. Many freshmen attempted to struggle but the overwhelming odds made any attempts to struggle futile. Daring members of the class who did fight only succeeded in providing amusement for the sophomores who howled with glee. Those that lost their pants suffered little humiliation in the com- pany of the students who laughed at their plight, but considerable pride had to be swallowed when the pants were repossessed from the librarians and the girls in the Student Union. Rather than submit to further humiliation the class began to band to- gether realizing that in union there was strength. Although there was little evidence of the plan work- ing when it was first tried, it later became increas- ingly difficult for sophomores to pants freshmen without reinforcements of the class of '41 appearing to aid their stricken brother. In fact impending riots were broken only when Institute officials appeared. Even the L station which had been a favorite Top Row: Dailey. Knief. Lightstone. Doane. Leave, Schaffer. Obergfell.

Gratuitous festivities, the class learned, did not end with the Freshman Handshake. The evening of the Handshake members of the class were pre- sented with a well written handbook that described the social fraternities located at Armour. This pamphlet completely described the origin and pur- pose, the rushing rules and typical activities of the social fraternities. A foreword written by Dean Heald further added to the merit of the publication. and it encouraged membership in the fraternities as one means of balancing arduous school work with social relaxation. School had been in session for only a few weeks when fraternity men began contacting new students for luncheon and dinner dates and Monte Carlo nights and dances. The rushing period in the middle of a week end re- quired full attention of the freshman class until it was ended. Enjoying a splendid time at the hands of the fraternity men, the freshman marveled at the well arranged meals and programs that were prepared by their fraternity hosts. Freshmen were impartially invited, so that all were feted by the Top Row: Young. Roehm. Furch. Dryer. Holmboe. Olson. Malm- quist. Leskin. Siemen. Kuttner. Second Row: Jackel. Prymula. Greenberg.

All enjoyed being lifted from a position of obscurity to a position of popularity from where the fraternities bent every effort to familiarize freshmen with fraternal societies. It was indeed hard for the class to return to its studies after the excitement of rush week and the Freshman Handshake had subsided. Most of the class had hoped and expected their professors to give more lenient homework assignments during these activities. This not being the case many freshmen found themselves deficient in their home- work, and realized that only hard work could bring his standing up to the correct level. Warnings given by the faculty were accepted light heartedly even though most of the class realized the dire con- sequences of falling behind in their school work. Quiz grades sometimes fell dreadfully low, but comfort was always found when it was discovered that many in the class had received uncommend- able marks. Even though low marks were the object of much mirth between individual freshmen, each felt the need for intense effort if falling grades were to be stabilized. At the middle of the semester official notice was given that grades were deficient by distributing scholarship notices. Although these notices were humorously called valentines, they were far from being missiles of endearment. They aroused many of the class to action because few wished to bring anything but grades of high caliber back to their parents. The accompanying warning that the semester was half over increased the vigor with which the class applied itself to the assigned school work. A Christmas assembly announced a seventeen day vacation that was welcomed gladly by the freshmen. The vacation many believed would be an ideal time to catch up in the back math assignments, the English themes, and delayed chem reports. An hour or two each day during the vacation and the entire slate would be cleared. It certainly sounded easy. During the vacation few completed the work they thought and planned of doing, however. It was much easier to sleep until noon and lounge around the house after dinner thinking of the evening's date. Besides the vacation was a furlough, and all worries were forgotten during such periods. At least the freshmen were firmly convinced that this was so, and they had no intention of determining if this was false. Shortly after the return to school the class realiz- ed how close final examinations really were. Fumbl- ing preparations were made to review during the week ends, but little was actually accomplished as Hurry Up! The 3:23 is Due [341 What a place to be dcpantsed. The war is on. It is still on. A freshman on his first day at college. it was much easier to let the suggested review slide. The schedule of examinations that was posted upon the bulletin board finally whipped the freshmen into position for necessary reviews of all subjects. Studying and reviewing until late at night, mem- bers of the class made ready for the examinations which upper classmen had warned to be long and difficult. With this advice still fresh in the minds of the freshmen, they made final, hasty prepar- ations for the dreaded tests. Goaded by upper classmen who had lost their jaunty air and who were giving considerable time to reviewing, the freshmen found the task of reviewing less difficult than he expected. In fact the entire school was swept with an ominous atmosphere which suggested that some event out of the ordinary was in the offing. The first scheduled test was hard, extremely so. But all appeared alike. Even those subjects that had seemed easy during the entire semester were covered completely with troublesome ques- tions. Was it little wonder then that the class faced the final examination of the period with waning spirits? The intervening vacation that extended between the two semesters revived the hopes of the class. The grades that had been forwarded from the school and which covered the work of the first semester were not a complete discouragement. In many cases low grades provided an impetus for concentrated study during the second semester. When scholarship notices appeared in the second semester, it was apparent that many of the class had been aroused to harder work as fewer dis- couraging notices were received by the class as a whole. Speakers at the Freshman Handshake had ad- vised members of the class to participate in extra- curricular activities at Armour. Many members of the class followed this recommendation, and they have given remarkable work on outside activities. The freshman basketball squad has unearthed several promising players who will undoubtedly receive berths on the varsity next fall. Likewise the class candidates serving on the boxing, wrestl- ing, golf and track teams hold promise of replac- ing the experienced upper classmen who will grad- uate soon. In addition to those who are valiantly serving the athletic teams, the class has placed a number of promising members on the staffs of the Armour publications and the musical organizations of the school. The accomplishments the freshman class have already attained indicate that this class will con- tinue to contribute to the school in the manner that is traditional of Armour classes. Already athletics and publications, musical organizations, and engi- neering societies have felt the influence of this class. There need be no fear that the class of '41 will not advance through the three years before it with as much glory and satisfaction as any class that has gone before. Just a Friondly Argumont Boil.

Worcester Armour Tech Student Association Representative - • James M. Fahey While happily slumbering and dreaming of days spent swimming in bubbling creeks and quiet lakes, of days devoted to fishing in the cool, cool north country and of dates lasting until the wee small hours of the morning, the Sophomores were rudely awakened one morning last fall by a clanging alarm clock that proclaimed much too loudly regis- tration day at Armour. Futile attempts were made to fall asleep once more, but interested mothers aroused their beloved sons and sent them grumbl- ing off to school. Although enrollment required considerable time, it was time that passed quickly. Exchanging greetings with friends that had been met during the preceding year at Armour and renewing old acquaintances eased the burden of enrolling. Even though returning to school was a discouragement to many of the Sophomore class, the task appeared to have lightened. It was good to see old friends and classmates. In fact even the school and the buildings appeared to be more friendly and in- viting. Although the class had cursed these same buildings for their antiquity the preceding year, things now seemed to have been changed. The change that had been wrought was something un- explainable that existed in addition to the renova- tion that had transformed many classrooms. It was a change that was spiritual. A change that fostered a feeling of loyalty and respect. The familiar halls were welcomed. The reconditioned buildings furthered the desire to be at school once more. Remodeled buildings girdled by flowering bushes and growing saplings set amid the green of the newly seeded lawns appeared far removed from the class room buildings of the preceding year. The debris of the hideous and ramshackled rear porches that had hung from the rear of several buildings was removed. Sidewalks had been repaired. The side of the school that bordered upon the tennis courts was no longer suggestive of a great tene- ment. Inside the buildings, the freshly sanded and varnished floors blended harmoniously with the cream and brown walls, while new and comfort- able chairs pleasingly satisfied those students that were inclined to become drowsy during a prolonged lecture. The school had changed indeed. The Sophomores delighted in these improvements, and realized that the remaining three years at Armour would not be unpleasant. Noticing for the first time the dumbfounded Fresh- men who were enrolling, the class suddenly realized the importance attached to a Sophomore. Why a Sophomore was to be respected! The incoming class of Freshmen was to learn to obey the class of '40. Sophomores! The name now held a special significance that few of the class had noticed dur- ing their trials as Freshmen. Sophomores! The class that was to enforce the Wearing of the Green. Sophomores! Traditional victors in the Freshman- Sophomore Rush. Yes, there was something more in the name Sophomore than the mere indication of being a second year man. Eager to test the strength of the class against the Freshmen, the entire class impatiently awaited the Freshman Handshake which was the beginning of ''pantsing'' activities. A notice posted upon the bulletin board by the Sophomore Enforcing Com- mittee outlined the neighborhood and the dates in which all Freshmen were required to wear Green Caps. The entire class eagerly read the bulletin as it announced openly that the class of '40 was no longer the underdog. A new class had taken the place of the Sophomores who had borne the [36] brunt of interclass hardships during the preceding year. Remembering the tactics of the Sophomore class before them the class of '40 met at the foot of the steps of the L station the first morning green caps were to be worn. Daring and forgetful Frosh were hopelessly outnumbered, and quickly and skillfully were their pants removed. Resentful Freshmen attempted to resist, but there was no chance to escape. Bolder grew the Sophomores. More vicious became their attacks. A police car called to a disturbance at the L station one morn- ing only heightened the zeal of the ravaging Sophs. Eventually the Freshmen combined and fought to- gether whenever one of their more unfortunate brothers was caught without a green cap. Each mobilization became more severely contested. Al- though the Sophomores realized the disdain with which the authorities of the school viewed the clashes, it was not until official announcement com- pelled a halt in further interclass rivalry that the class realized there were still bodies over which the Sophs had little influence. Classes had been in session nearly two weeks before the class realized another distinction af- forded Sophomores. They realized that specializ- ation into branches of engineering had begun. Sophomores were no longer required to take identi- cal courses. The class was beginning to separate into Juicers, Fire Protects, and Mechanicals. As Freshmen they had all been subjected to the same courses. The class had been enrolled in engineering. Now, however, it was apparent that specialization into chosen professions was be- ginning. The majority of the courses were as yet fundamental, but each member of the class had a course or two that was administered by an instructor from one of the engineering departments. The class was slowly being segregated, but all of the Sopho- mores believed that the class would continue to act as a unit. Remembering the difficulty that had been en- countered when they had fallen behind in their school work as Freshmen, the class made an earn- est attempt to remain abreast of their instructors. Par- ticular pains were made to hand in all assignments regularly. All worked hard, but combinations of physics, calc, and mechanics proved to be extremely difficult. Home work assignments became long and discouraging. Bi-weekly calculus tests were extremely difficult; physics lab reports were handed in late quite frequently, and many of these reports were bounced.” It was little wonder that the Thanksgiving and Christmas recesses were wel- comed. Although the appearance of scholarship notices did not create the excitement that they had while the class were Freshmen, they nevertheless aroused particular concern. The vacations were to be used as ideal times in which to catch up in delayed reports and assignments which were long past due. Much of this work was completed during the vacations even though the desire to forget it all was very strong. But having been exposed to finals at Armour before, all realized that highest grades were possible only after all of the homework had been faithfully completed. And finals, the entire class realized, were a few weeks after the beginning of the new year. The week preceding the final examinations was spent in a complete review of the more uncertain subjects. Although the beginning of the examination week found many of the class worried, all secretly believed that the tests would be mastered successfully. All found the tests difficult, but, hard as the exams were, they passed quickly and the class welcomed the intervening vacation that followed. The second semester was resumed with vigor as each member was enrolled in a new class or two that promised to relieve the monotony accom- panying regular school work. After classes had been resumed, it was found that several members of the class had not returned for the second semester. This was a little discouraging, but the remaining members of the class that had dwindled consider- ably since the class began at Armour in 1936.

It was necessary for all to cooperate in the Rush if the class was to win, because the class was to meet a group that was vastly superior in number. Amid much wrangling and confusion the class election was held in October. For the first time members of the class were exposed to coalitions and actual political scheming. Not only were fusion candidates supported and petitioned by fraternity men in the primary election, but inter-departmental candidates were also entered in the primary. Mem- bers of the various departments were encouraged to pledge their support for candidates from the de- partment. All felt the influx of undergraduate poli- ticians who worked earnestly for their friends in an effort to place them in office. The primary election although well contested and exciting held little of the furor that accompanied the general election. All candidates were the subject of hotly contested argu- ments both in and out of the various classrooms. After the election returns were announced the quarrels and the heated controversies that had sur- rounded the election subsided and the class will- ingly returned to its unified position. Not only did Sophomores aid the basketball team, but a number of the members of the class performed splendidly on the track team while others were out- Top Row: Jackson. Collins. Balsowick.

Although members of the class reluctantly watched the class members leave on athletic trips to other schools, all were glad to see Sophomores make such a commendable showing for the class and for Armour. So well have sopho- more athletes worked during the past year, that some of them will undoubtedly captain their respec- tive teams in their Junior and Senior years at Ar- mour. In addition to the Sophomores on the athletic teams of the school, there are a number of members of the class serving on the staffs of the Cycle, Ar- mour Tech News, and the Armour Engineer and Alumnus. The positions held by these men are less spectacular than the positions held by their class- mates on the Armour athletic teams, but they are positions of honor entrusted to these students for the outstanding work they have extended the publica- tions in the past. They have proved to their sup- eriors that the class of '40 is fully capable of under- taking responsible work. These Sophomores along with other members from the class who are working on the glee club and orchestra of the school have performed an unheralded service for the class.

Planned by a social committee that worked hard in an effort to make the dance a success, it was an outstanding event of the school year. The Grand Ballroom of the Medinah Athletic Club was selected by the social committee after they had spent considerable time in visiting prospective ball rooms throughout the city. In the Medinah Club, amid the beautiful surround- ings of the Grand Ballroom, a capacity crowd danced to the music of Emil Flindt. His famous orchestra had been obtained only after many dif- ficulties, but all that attended the dance were quick to realize that the orchestra was well worth the sacrifice that had been made. The popular tunes that were played so perfectly could not help filling the ballroom with merry laughter and the rhythmical shuffling of hundreds of feet. All enjoyed this dance that was patronized not only by the Sophomores, but also by the members of other classes at Armour. These class members had been captivated by the attractive posters that were hung in the lobby of the main building at school. Not only was the dance a great success socially, but it proved that the class of '40 was fully capable of handling a dance at a spot famous for its beauty and attractiveness with- out the dance being a loss financially. The social committee correctly received much praise for this successful gathering. It was the first social event held by the class during the year, and it proved to be an outstanding success. Sophomores sarcas- tically boasted loudly that those who didn't have a good time remained at home. Following the dance immediate preparations were made for a Spring smoker, and a proposed dance during the summer was given much consideration. St. Patrick's day found the Freshmen beginning the final period of wearing green caps. Many of the Freshmen remembered the order issued by the office in the fall prohibiting further interclass riv- alry. and appeared at school without their caps. Many of the same Frosh lost their pants to vigilant Sophomores in secluded spots. Pants were fre- quently removed against the orders that the office had issued; however, someone had to discipline the Frosh. And if the Sophomores didn't take the re- sponsibility, no one would. All interclass rivalry soon ended when a second order was sent from the office of the Dean. The Sophomores were con- vinced that if the class of '41 did not become out- standing it was not the fault of the class of '40. It had done its best. Remembering the week of festivities that ac- companied Junior week during the preceding year. P. D. Armour Gets a New Hat [40] Top Row: Pasiuk. Hutlon. Paulaitis. Prehlor. Catlin. Schrot. Minard.

Awaiting Open House to inaugurate the week, the class was interested in the forthcoming field day stunts and activities. The class anxiously awaited this chance to enter into the various events and activities. Fraternity members of the class prepared for both the interfraternity sing contest and the interfraternity stunt. Practising for the inter- fraternity relays in addition to the interclass relays, they gave every intention of competing full heart- edly in their assigned events. The class hoped that they would be able to place a winning team in the baseball playoffs that would be held in the midst of the activities. Most patiently awaited of all of the activities was the Rush. Always a riotous scene it gave promise of being even more violent than ever before; it was certain that roughness would pre- dominate. Plans were completed, and the class felt confident of victory by virtue of their experience and the tact they planned to use. The entire class an- nounced its intention of entering the event, so there was little doubt that the class would be without loyal supporters. Such cooperation proved to the upper- class men the unity which had been attained through pleasant association during the past two years. As the year draws to a close all Sophomores real- ize that they have indeed passed through a long and strenuous year. The Sophomore year is proclaimed by upper classmen to be the hardest year at Armour. Few of the present class will doubt this statement. A glance at the depleted ranks of the class that be- gan two years ago as a group of students nearly three hundred and forty men strong, will aid in proving the statement. As difficult as the course has been, there is every indication that the group that now remains will graduate together only two years from now. Segregation into departments will divide the class even more than it did this year, but even though inter-department rivalry will become intense there is little doubt that the class will not always respond to fight for '40 whenever the cry is heard. The associations that have been formed these past two years will not be broken by special- ization into departments. The hardest years at Armour have been spent together. There is no need to fear that the class will not continue as a unified body, even though it will be broken into smaller and more compact groups. It is the hope of the entire class that the segregation into small groups will knit the class even closer together through a union of de- partmental classes. The summer vacation wil sep- arate the class temporarily, but having made two downs on this game toward victory there is every indication that the remaining two downs will be obtained with less difficulty.

They must be; they think they are. Since words are wasted when one is told that someone thinks a statement is true, it is an econ- omy of words to explain in full the process by which the title was reached. In the case of the statement involving the gentlemanly qualities of Juniors, the explanation follows direct, scientific lines of reason- ing. As the class of '39 entered upon the third year of its great struggle, its stalwarts soon became aware of the fact that they were accorded privileges that they had not experienced as meandering under- classmen. They fully realized that they were re- garded with greater respect than ever before by students, by faculty members and by various school officials. Discovering that they had but few classes meeting in the classrooms of the main building, they were accordingly given the privilege of using the only elevator of the school. In addition lockers without handles on the doors or hooks inside were issued to the Juniors who quickly followed the ex- ample of the clever Seniors and adorned the in- teriors of the lockers with sensational and snappy pictures clipped from Esquire. As the Juniors learned of their newly-accorded rights, they also discovered that those about them viewed Juniors from a new point of vantage. This view, it seemed, cast a different, more pleasant light upon the character and abilities of the members of the class of '39. Even the casual observer could detect the change in cordiality that occurred be- tween the Juniors and their instructors of previous years. No longer did the Juniors cringe at the sight of a physics or mathematics professor, whose face was always wreathed with the customary threaten- ing countenance. Now the instructors appeared meek while their ex-victims assumed the threaten- ing appearance. Graduate student assistants were treated similarly. In contrast to the title of Mr. which they could formerly command, they now were indeed fortunate if they could find a Junior who would even call the assistant by his last name. The Seniors recognized Juniors with a stiff nod and even spoke to one or two of the class. The Sophomores mistook Juniors for first year men only part of the time. When it was explained that the Sophomores had made a mistake and that their acquaintance was a Junior, they oftentimes believed the report that they heard. The Freshmen when confronted with an individual who had 39 emblazoned on the in- signia of his class jacket clearly indicated that they were thinking Is that what a Junior looks like? In the mind of an engineer the facts concerning the Juniors are automatically divided into two re- lated groups. Each of these groups forms a gen- eralization which, when combined, offers a satis- factory excuse for the Juniors to proclaim themselves gentlemen by a law of a more or less scientific nature. Having this law. its legislators were still at a loss with regards to an explanation for it. The Chemical Engineering Department was the first to be led to a clue which indicated the possible reasons for the generalizations of their newly found rights. The Juniors in the Chemical Department stumbled upon the clue at a physical chemistry lecture one Autumn morning when an instructor startled them with the statement that they were, in his estimation, gentlemen and were to be treated as such. After the unanimous query of What is a gentleman? had been satisfactorily answered, the real significance of the announcement slowly dawned upon the sleepy inhabitants of the class. The significance of this announcement, it appeared. [42] was that the present high standing of the Junior class in the Armour social structure was due to the facts that the Juniors were gentlemen. Believing themselves to be engineers in addition to being selfstyled gentlemen, they set about con- firming their beliefs and establishing the proof with which it would be necessary to prove to others that the Juniors were gentlemen. As a first step, a re- view of the activities of the class during their first two years will prove that they had the necessary qualifications required in the making of a gentle- man. As a second and conclusive proof a review of the Junior year activities of the class will show that they have lived up to their newly assumed title. A review of the accomplishments of the class of '39 in their first two years at Armour reveals much to be proud of: accomplishments worthy of gentle- men in the making are easily produced for verifica- tion. In the Freshman year the class overturned tradition by announcing and holding their Green Cap Ball early in the social season. The class soon followed the profitable Green Cap Ball with a second dance that featured originality of arrangements early in the Spring. The second dance was an un- usually successful affair, the Pent House Party, held at the exclusive 666 Club. There in the fall of 1935 this beautiful ballroom and spacious lounge over- looking Lake Michigan formed a perfect setting for the Freshmen's supreme attempt. In addition to the hard working social committee of the class many first year men were valuable assets to the various athletic teams. In the interclass competition a fine showing was made, and the class of '39 definitely established itself as a power to be reckoned with in athletic circles. During the class of '39's Sophomore year several social gatherings were held. Outstanding among these events were the Sophomore Smoker and the Sophomore Informal. The smoker was held at the Lawson Y. M. C. A. on the eve of the Thanksgiving vacation. Featuring a dissertation by John J. Schom- mer which climaxed the events of the evening, the class enjoyed swimming, playing ping pong and card playing. Refreshments were also served dur- ing the evening's entertainment. Social activities of the year were ended with the holding of the Sophomore Informal. The class shattered Armour tradition during the summer vacation that followed by holding two social events during the summer vacation. These activities attracted the attention of all classes at Armour, since summer social activities were heretofore un- precedented at Armour. Although the social com- mittee performed something untried, the summer activities were highly successful. The first of these events that was held during the vacation was a class smoker at the Lawson Y. M. C. A. This gathering was attended by a large number of the class in ad- dition to the substantial representation received from the faculty. Enjoyed by all that attended, it was little wonder that those who were present looked forward to the yachting party that was scheduled for the latter part of the vacation. This party which had been mentioned before the class adjourned for the summer recess received the immediate support of class members. Held in August the party was well attended, and the trip out onto Lake Michigan proved to be a complete thrill. The resumption of classwork at Armour found the class once again in control of its activities. Re- freshed with the memories of the summer's vaca- tion and filled with a determination to keep the class as unified as it had been in the Sophomore year, the members awaited the class elections. The class assembled for the first social event of the year when it met at the Lawson Y. M. C. A. for the annual class smoker. This affair which had re- ceived considerable publicity from the hard working social committee and which was advertized as a smoker of smokers found the entire class in attend- ance. The turnout being a complete success added enthusiasm to those present with the result that everyone had an enjoyable and interesting time at the class's first gathering.

Shortly after the Thanksgiving holidays the class was again treated. This time, however, the class was treated to a victory. The class won the annual interdepartmental touchball contest. This was the first interclass contest of the school year, and it found the entire class following interestedly the ac- tivities of the various teams that represented the Junior class. All who watched the games were com- pletely surprised by the smooth playing of the fighting, spirited team of Junior Chemicals that won the event. This team swept through to victory after winning each of the thirteen games for which it was scheduled. Pleased with such a remarkable achieve- ment, it was only natural that the Junior class honor its fighting members by presenting each mem- ber of the team with a gold medal in remembrance of the performance of this fine team. Shortly after this victory was annexed the basketball team that represented the class in the interclass basketball tournament forged through to victory and secured a second event for the class of '39. This team won the interclass basketball title by first defeating the team of the Senior Class in a wild, uproarious game, and Top Row: Gregory. Grabacki. Volpe. Kruse. Terp. Zarem. Staron. Wooding.

Hardly had the class realized that these victories were actually in possession of the class than two additional events were staged. The first of these, the interclass track meet, found the class in second place at the conclusion of the event. However, the class was only a few points short of the Seniors who had obtained first place in the contest. Shortly after this event, the interclass boxing and wrestling tourn- ament was held. In this competition the Juniors again reigned supreme. Victory came after the class had won five events of the nine events that were contested. Splendid fighting by every Junior that was entered in the meet made victory an easy reality. Although the beginning of the second sem- ester found the Junior class in possession of three first places and one second place in interclass athletic activities, there was no reason to believe that the class had not given support to the school teams in these various sports. Six members of the Junior class had secured berths on the basketball team of the Armour Techhawks while substantial representations were also secured on the track, tennis, and golf teams. In addition several mem- bers gave promise of securing berths on the school's baseball team as soon as the season began.

This traditional and outstanding social event of the year at Armour was made a never-to-be-forgotten affair by the able members of this year's social committee. This group of interested Juniors had worked continuously since shortly after the Thanksgiving holidays in an effort to make the dance an outstanding success. The hotels of the entire city were scanned in an attempt to find a ballroom that would appropriately fit the occasion. Finally the committee chose the Grand Ballroom of the famous Palmer House in Chicago's Loop for the scene of the dance. Realizing that com- fortable and pleasing surroundings are only part of the requirements of a highly successful dance, the social committee made every effort to secure a radio dance orchestra of outstanding fame. Suc- cessful in this the committee finally announced Saturday of March the 5th as the date of the dance. Tickets were immediately placed on sale, while additional provisions were made to pay for the bids on weekly installments in an effort to aid those students that might not be in a position to purchase their bids outright. Many took advantage of the installment plan, and it was this provision that helped to make the dance such a well attended affair. Juniors predominated although many mem- bers of other classes at Armour were in attendance along with their friends. Final plans for the dance were completed several weeks before the dance was held, so that all was in readiness on the even- ing of the dance. The gala affair began shortly after eight-thirty in the evening when a tasty seven course dinner of chicken was served. Between the courses Armourites and their friends danced on the superb floor of the Grand Ballroom to the pleasingly melodious music that was furnished by Gay Clar- idge and his radio dance orchestra. Dining, dancing and just watching the activities from the decorative balcony completed an evening that will be long remembered as an evening when perfection was the keynote. After the formal the class again returned to the reality of hard school work. As Spring weather became more apparent, howevei, there was also a second noticeable activity. Ogden Field once more became the scene of activity of students. Members of the various classes were found out there, practic- ing and preparing for the baseball and track events that were to be held in Junior Week. Although eliminations were carried out before Junior Week, all semi-final and final contests were held during Junior Week. This week as all Juniors know was di- rected by the Junior Class through eight of its mem- bers who acted as marshalls. These marshalls were elected shortly after the return from the Easter Re- cess. This election was closely contested, but all agreed after the excitement had subsided that eight very good men had been elected to serve as Come On. Bob. Swing {46} All the Bids Must be Sold marshalls. In this capacity they arranged for Junior Week as representatives of the Junior Class. Junior week was a huge success. The able Junior marshalls had completed a program that was full of activity each of the three days of the week. Interclass and departmental baseball games, inter- class track meets, interfraternity athletic events and stunt programs aided in rounding out a week of activity that was concluded with the traditional Freshman-Sophomore Rush. Junior Week ended the activities of the class for the year. Approaching final examinations required full attention from each member of the class, but even though social activities and events were for- gotten, the members of the class did not forget the class itself. They all realized that the class of '39 had completed a memorable year. There was in- deed little doubt that the class would return in Sep- tember ready to finish its work at Armour with even more gusto and enthusiasm than the Junior year had been started. In fact, after cooperating and working as hard as this class had for the past three years, there was no need to worry that the spirit would not continue throughout the final year at the Institute. After reviewing the events of importance that had happened since the class of '39 entered Armour as a discomposed band of Freshmen, it is not hard to realize that this class is composed of men who have all of the qualifications necessary to stamp one as being a gentleman. Each and every member of the class had gained the admiration and respect of his instructors. The members of the class were no longer an unorganized, wrangling group of students. Instead the three years at Armour had transformed each man into a person who was looked up to and respected. Each member of the class had taken on a gentlemanly polish that prevailed over his entire character. Juniors were considerate of others; they no longer rushed around the Institute with thoughts of only themselves. They were men who could be counted upon in a pinch, men who were willing to get out and fight for the class if necessary. They were men who were fully capable of taking care of themselves, and of completely providing for them- selves and their class whenever the occasion pre- sented itself. Not only had the men become capable of taking care of themselves in and around Armour where the atmosphere that prevailed was one that lent only an air of engineering to the surroundings, but Juniors, such as the group that composed the social committee, were fully capable of going out into a non-engineering world and obtaining things for the class that could not have been obtained in a better manner by one who was fully conversant in the ways of this non-engineering world. Yes, the Juniors were gentlemen, not because they were third year men and could ride the elevator, but be- cause they had absorbed honorable, well trained social ideals that made them fully capable of bearing the title gentlemen.

Nauman ..................William F. Schlax James D. Sheehan Irving X. Seidenberg ..................Robert E. Worcester Three years ago last fall, some two hundred hopeful high school graduates were making plans to enter Armour. Ambitious and enthusiastic they were all stimulated with the desire to become engineers. They had set graduation from the Institute as their goal. But their goal was breached by a void that was shadowed by four dark years of difficult pre- paratory training. However, few of this entering class considered this obstacle seriously. Young and carefree they thought only of their final year as Seniors. Cocksure, the warnings that had been given by their friends were considered lightly. It was only after school had been in session a week or two that they realized that life was going to be different than they had expected. Engineering training, they found, was difficult. Descript, Math 101, Chemistry and Chem lab reports required a sur- prisingly great amount of time. To many of the class the Freshman year appeared to be a hopeless struggle. Discouraged by warnings from instructors, scholarship notices and low grades, a number of men dropped out of the class during the first year. The Sophomore year seemed to be equally hard, and even the Junior year which many expected to be easier required careful study and preparation Study habits were completely formed as the class emerged as Seniors, and school work appeared to be easier. Now, as the class looks back upon the four years that have been spent at Armour it finds much of the hardship that was formerly faced, hidden by enjoyable times that have been spent at school. Pressed as the class has always been, there has nevertheless been time to engage in a well rounded athletic and social program. The Class of '38 was most successful in interclass and interdepartmental athletic activities. During the Freshman year of the Class, an untried and un- known team was entered in the basketball tourna- ment to represent the class. Unfamiliar as this squad was with Armour competition, the team proved to be a combination that was highly success- ful. Its first game was scheduled against the favored Sophomore squad. Ratings proved to be of no avail to the Sophs, however, as the Freshman team ad- ministered a defeat that the entire class enjoyed. The Sophomore class lost by a score of 30 to 19. Encouraged by this victory, the squad anxiously awaited its game with the Seniors. The Class won this game by a score of 18 to 10 and annexed the coveted interclass basketball championship. Jubilant the class awaited the interclass track meet scheduled at the fieldhouse of the University of Chicago. There the Class' representatives captured first place in five major events and won the championship when it floored an experienced team of Seniors. In the following year the team entered a baseball team in interdepartmental competition. This team secured second place in the contest, and convinced the Class that baseball titles were likewise within reach. When the basketball tournament opened, the Class of '38 was ready and willing to engage in games with any of the remaining classes. This competition title was likewise secured after the Class' squad defeated a strong team of Juniors by a score of 21 to 14. As defending champions in the interdepartmental track meet, the Class received severe competition from all of the opposing teams. The team that was entered emerged victoriously after it defeated the Senior squad. During this same year the Class challenged the Freshmen to an un- precedented and unofficial game of tackle football. In a stimulating contest held at Armour Square, the Class easily won obtaining a score of 14 to 0. The third year of interclass competition found the Class with a strong baseball team as its representative. This group defeated the Senior team 4 to 3 and [481 downed the Sophomores 4 to 1 in its attempt to secure the interclass title. Following this victory the Class lost the basketball title. The team suf- fered a setback when it was defeated 9 to 7 by an invigorated and fighting squad of Seniors. The track team was more successful, however, and it won the interclass track title for the third consecutive year. Touchball was introduced during this year as an intramural sport. The Class entered six teams in the contest, and several succeeded in reaching the semi-finals. A team of Junior Mechanicals were entered in the final game, but it lost to a group of Senior Chemicals. Although the Class' basketball squad lost during its Senior year of competition, a new Armour record was set when the Class suc- ceeded in winning the interclass track tourney for the fourth consecutive year. This victory pleased the entire class because competing teams of under- classmen were highly rated and seemed almost assured of victory. Athletic endeavor ended in Junior Week when several Senior teams reached the semi-finals in the annual baseball competition. Al- though this ended the competition of the Class of '38, it only gave impetus to the memories that were to surround the athletic accomplishments of this Class. Socially the Class of '38 has always been out- standing. During the Freshman year class officers succeeded in reaching a truce with the rivaling class of Sophomores. A joint social committee was appointed that represented the two classes. This committee presented the Engineers' Hop. The dance, held in the beautiful Bal Tabarin of the Sher- man House, proved to be the first of a number of successful '38 dances. Eddie Woodward's mel- odious orchestra was obtained to serve at the Class' first Sophomore dance. At this time the Sopho- more Cotillion was given in the spacious and ex- clusive surroundings of the Lake Shore Athletic Club. Early in the spring of this same year the Class toasted the graduating Seniors by offering the Sophomore Farewell at Old Hall on the south side of Chicago. The Junior year was equally en- tertaining. The Junior Formal was held in the Grand Ballroom of the Drake Hotel during the winter sea- son. This broke tradition and gave the Class an opportunity to hold an informal dance during Junior Week. This gathering was held at the beautiful Medinah Country Club featuring the music of Keith Beecher. The Class' senior social committee an- nounced its first dance as the Senior Swing hold- ing it in the spacious Cedar Room of the Oriental Building on the eve of the Christmas holiday. A closed Senior dance at which the members of the Class enjoyed the exclusive comradeship of one another concluded the Class of '38's social program at Armour. Successful in all that has been accomplished, it is only reasonable to assume that the Class of '38 will continue its ascendant course. However, the Class will now proceed without a guiding hand. It will have to rely wholly upon the judgment and the skill of its components. They have received the proper training. Their interpretation and applica- tion of this instruction is wholly dependent upon the perception and rationality of each of the grad- uates. In these men lie the aspirations of the Class. It is they upon whom the class is dependent. Senior Class Committees: Jewelry Idris Thomas. Chairman. Robori E. Maxant. Bernard W. Gamson. George A. Palka. Lorcntz A. Johanson. Leo J.

[67] THE HONOR It is provided in a clause of the Constitution of the Armour Tech Stu- dent Association that The Board of Control in a meeting assembled each year shall select ten men from the graduating class to be known as Honor Edition Men. The selection shall be on the basis of leadership and interest in all school activities displayed by these men while in school. These men shall receive recognition of this award by appropriate publication of the Honor Edition Award in the Cycle. The list shall be published in alphabetical order, there being no discrimination with regard to priority in the scoring. This year, because of a tie. eleven men were selected as the Honor Edition Men. The many hours of enjoyable work on the part of these outstanding seniors in connection with their activities have proved very beneficial both to the Institute and the student body. Thus, it is only proper that a specially bound edition of the Cycle, a history of the year's activities, should be pre- sented to these men. [68} EDITION AWARD Henry J. Bodnar William J.

Sheehan Idris Thomas Edward F. Wagner Bodnar [69] Cutting a Gear The Cooperative classes of Armour Institute of Technology are in a rather unusual position. Al- ternating between school and job, they appear to be continually coming and going, affording us little opportunity of becoming acquainted with them. The cooperatives have classes that are set apart from those of the regular students; consequently, seek- ing fellowship and friends, they have been obliged to unite among themselves. Although all of the cooperatives have elected regular class officers, making the distinction between groups more ap- parent, that spirit of individualism has not developed among them as it has among students in regular attendance at Armour. The rivalry that character- izes the classes of continuous students is absent among the cooperatives. Instead, a feeling of good fellowship prevails. In fact, the Co-ops have gone even farther. They have formed an interclass club, The Co-op Club, which is a composite of all co- operatives at the Institute. The Co-op Club serves as the organ from which all their social activities emanate. Entering Armour in February over three years ago, the original class of fifty eight members of the first inaugurated the new plan of education at Armour Institute. Divided into two groups, they were prepared to enter industry and school to be- gin work and class work in this new five year co- operating course in mechanical engineering. This new plan of education was not offered as an ex- periment. Instead it has been in existence in east- ern technical institutions for a period of years. There the course had attracted widespread attention. It interested General Thomas S. Hammond, president of the Whiting Corporation and President of the Il- linois Manufacturers' Association. Interested im- mediately, he met James D. Cunningham, President of the Board of Trustees of Armour Institute of Technology and President of the Republic Flow Meters Company, who was also concerned with the possibilities that surrounded the cooperative courses. Together these men outlined a plan which would be feasible at Armour. Their completed plan was accepted and arrangements were made to in- corporate the new course into the curriculum at the Institute in February of 1936. COOP CLUB OFFICERS Meyers. Larinoff. Johnson. B. E.. Kucera [70] Offering a cooperative course for the first time in the midwest, the Institute gained immediate at- tention from educators, executives, and indus- trialists. Sixty-one members of the Illinois Manu- facturers' Association denoted their willingness to aid such a program by offering their complete sup- port to officials of Armour. This group secured em- ployment that was necessary to offer the coopera- tive course combined industrial work and technical education. In addition, this group aided the propa- gation of the plan by outlining its features to similar manufacturers' associations throughout this section of the country. Once attracted by the course, in- dustrialists were pleased with this program which enables industries to recruit ambitious and depend- able young men who obtain practical engineering experience in conjunction with their preparatory training in engineering. There has been little trouble in obtaining industries and executives to aid the plan. The program of cooperative engineering courses is not of recent origin. The first course of this kind was adopted over thirty-three years ago by the Uni- versity of Cincinnati. Here the plan was tested in the experimental stage for a number of years. So successfully did the authorities and trustees of the University of Cincinnati consider the course that they abandoned all continuous courses in engineering and substituted in their place cooperative courses. The entire program of that institution is now carried out on the cooperative basis. Oher technical schools watched the courses closely, and the plan was similarly adopted at prominent eastern colleges. At present there are courses in cooperative engineer- ing at the University of Detroit, New York Univer- sity, Georgia Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Drexel Institute, and Armour Institute of Technology. The plan that has been adopted at Armour was therefore not done without due consideration. The details of the plan at this Electric Welding school differ from the plan at other schools, but the principal features are retained by all institutions. At Armour the cooperative course in mechanical en- gineering does not replace in any way the regular, existing four year course. Instead it is considered COOP CLUB OFFICERS Walsh. Zablen. Hawkins. Hayes [71] Assembling a Comptometer as an entirely supplementary program. The cur- riculum of Armour's cooperative is fundamentally the same as that of the regular mechanical course. The same educational degree is awarded upon com- pletion of both courses. The cooperative course offers a sound engineering education only to com- mendable graduates of high school and outstand- ing and talented young men in industry who might not otherwise be able to obtain such education be- cause of limited financial means. Each cooperative student in school has his al- ternate who is also enrolled in the course, but who is serving his term in industry. After attending school for eight weeks the student and his alternate in industry exchange positions. The alternate then spends a similar period in school. Alternating in this manner the cooperatives spend twenty-four weeks in school and twenty-six weeks in industry after which they receive a two weeks vacation. In this manner the entire group is alternated between theoretical education and actual practice. With the exception of the two weeks vacation the classes are given each year, the Co-ops will be in attendance continually for five years. Although there are nearly three hundred students enrolled in the course, the Institute operates the course with a limited enrollment. The size of the classes being restricted, the officers and directors in charge have been able to make a careful selec- tion of the applicants that have signified their inten- tion of enrolling in the program. No student is per- mitted to enroll without first satisfactorily passing a preparatory examination at the Institute. It is a principle of the department heads to pick only those students who show promise of succeeding both in their college course and in industry. The prospec- tive student must not only be sound physically, but he must be able to apply himself steadily to the alternate program of work and study throughout the calendar year. . . . The applicants have thus far come from two sources. First, young men already at work in the cooperating industries who have shown promise in their work and who have demon- strated by their high school record a sound capacity to do satisfactory college work; second, recent high school graduates of demonstrated high scholastic standing whose personal qualifications are such as to make them acceptable to the school and to the industry as new employees. Those students in the course who were admitted directly from high school were applicants who were recommended by voca- tional advisors and high school principals who worked in conjunction with Institute officials. The first class of cooperatives was composed largely of men from the Chicago area. However, the course. Top Row: Guckel. Hunt. Tichy. Duree. Leising. Kaul. Parrinello. Nagel, Fritsch.

Records of cooperative courses from other tech- nical institutions show that over sixty percent of the graduates remain with the firm that furnished them employment during their period of cooperative train- ing. Executives from plants that employ these stu- dents are fully aware of the educational significance of the work periods, and these men strive to furnish the students with a variety of plant experience in an attempt to further the practical educational train- ing. Realizing that the cooperatives are being pre- pared for roles of future engineers and executives. they make every effort to acquaint the students with the industrial activity that is characteristic of the firm. The work that the students do in the factory varies from industry to industry. Each student is be- ing prepared for a certain definite assignment, and for this reason few of the Co-ops receive identical training in the field. In November, 1935, a committee of the Institute faculty began receiving commitments from co- operating companies. At the same time applicants who sought admission in the proposed cooperative course were interviewed by members of the fac- ulty committee. Over two hundred interested stu- Top Row: Wicnold.

[73} Combining Theory and Practice in Industry dents were granted interviews, and those students who seemed as though they could readily adapt themselves to the course were sent to officers of co- operating industries. There they were given addi- tional interviews and examinations before they were finally accepted for the program. The first coopera- tive class was small, but arrangements were quickly made to provide facilities for larger classes. Mr. L. J. Lease, vocational director of Thornton Township high school, was appointed a member of the de- partment of mechanical engineering of the Insti- tute to serve as coordinator between the school and the subscribing industries. Under his able direc- tion the enrollment has been increased from fifty to three hundred. The first class of cooperative students that en- tered Armour was definitely a group set apart from the remaining students at Armour. Few of the mem- bers had friends in the regular student body. The group was alone. It was compelled to continue by itself, becoming a closely knit and united body. Be- ing in school for only eight weeks at a time, the members had little or no opportunity to serve on the athletic teams and staffs of the student publications. However, the members of this first class gradually found that by making sacrifices they could enter competition with remaining students for short periods of time. In the face of all of the obstacles that lay in the path of the cooperative students, some members of the classes were able to serve on the wrestling team, while others joined student clubs and the musical organizations. These men have gained commendation even though they have been forced to work under a handicap. Alternating be- tween school and industry every two months they find themselves continually beset in their attempts to serve these organizations faithfully. In fact, those cooperative students who have gained prominence in extra-curricular activities have received the ad- miration of ail students of the school. Endeavoring to show the same spirit that characterized the classes of the regular four year students, the Co-ops en- tered four teams in the inter departmental touch- ball tournament that was held in the Fall. Play- ing a surprisingly good game of ball, these men proved to be aggressively determined to win, and they succeeded in winning several games. Few of the regular students expected to receive opposition from the Co-ops since many believed that they had little school and class spirit. However, after it was recalled that the Co-ops had vigorously entered the Freshman-Sophomore Rush of the preceding year and had fought valiantly, many of the former crit- ics changed their ideas.

After the cooperative class was accepted as a permanent institution, the social fraternities of the school took the initiative in removing the barriers that separated the Co-ops from the regular students. A number of the cooperative students were pledged and initiated into the social fraternities where the Co-ops were given an excellent opportunity to be- come closely associated with fraternity men and to meet other students that were prominent at school and in class activities. In addition to this encourage- ment the Co-ops were extended membership in the Armour Student Chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Membership in this or- ganization increased the association between co- operative students and regular students, and the class of cooperatives rapidly began to make friends outside of their own sphere. Those of the regular classes that have met the Co-ops in these outside activities have been impressed by these serious young men, and they are of the opinion that the difference that exists between the two groups will be ultimately removed, permitting the Co-ops and other students to enjoy one another's fellowship to the utmost. The first group of Co-ops that entered Armour realized the necessity of a class organization. A class club was advocated by outstanding members of the class, and in the following year the first and second year cooperative students formed the Co- Top Row: Kozica. Sundusky. Kallas, Jasis.

[75] Calibrating an Electric Meter op Club. Serving first as an organization which enabled the Co ops to gather for discussion, it has developed into a highly active organization that rep- resents the entire student cooperative body. Being a composite that extends membership to all co- operative students, the club has served to eliminate the class barriers that are characteristic of the re- maining classes at school. The club is now en- gaged in promoting a fraternal feeling among mem- bers of all classes, and it also serves to promote educational tours and to sponsor social activities among the cooperative students. In attempting to promote a fraternalism among the Co-ops, it has taken a negative stand in upholding the traditional wearing of the green by the Freshmen. Any Fresh- man-Sophomore rivalry has emanated from one of the regular classes of the Institute. This feeling be- tween underclassmen is in direct opposition to the aims of the club, which attempt to unite all coopera- tive classes for the welfare of the entire department. The Co-op Club serves as an active group both for the students in school and those who are serving their term in industry. Club activities are open to both groups, and both have participated remarkably well in all the activities that have been undertaken. The inspection tours have been of interest to all members of the class. Officers of the Co-op Club work in conjunction with faculty members and ad- visors in arranging these trips which are closely allied with classroom work. The inspection trips give the members of the various classes an oppor- tunity to see industrial establishments and to com- pare these plants with the ones in which they are employed. The trips that have been held this year have included some of the largest plants in the Chi- cago area. In attempting to provide social activity and re- laxation for the members of the club, the Co-op Club has held several successful smokers and dances. The Student Union has been a favorite place for smokers, at which moving pictures have been shown. The club has also held smokers at ath- letic clubs in the Loop district. These smokers pro- vide a means of alliance between the co-opera- tives serving their term in school and those working in the factory. At these gatherings both groups joined in general discussion of school and plant activity, a discussion that is of interest to every mem- ber of the class. Many of the members had to come from outlying industrial centers in order to be pres- ent. There has always been a substantial repre- sentation of both students and alternates at each of the smokers that have been held. Attempting to hold the finest in social activities, the Co-op Club held the very successful Co-op Buffet Supper Dance at the Allerton Hotel in the fall. This Top Row: Zywot. Whittingham, Hill.

There, dancing to the rhythmical music of the hotel's famous orchestra, the class entertained as success- fully as any similar class organization. The class turned out in a body to celebrate the first of a series of proposed Co-op dances. There were over one hundred and fifty in attendance from a group that numbered only one hundred and seventy-five men. So successful was the first dance, and so earnestly did each member advocate similar affairs that plans were made for a dance to be held in the Spring. Over two hundred couples are expected to at- tend this next dance. The regular students have begun to realize that the cooperative course and the cooperative students are of definite value to the Institute. The success- ful cooperative program has gained widespread in- dustrial attention that reflects very favorably upon the school. The graduating students of the Insti- tute are benefited by this outstanding recognition, and they encounter less difficulty in securing em- ployment. They will enter an industrial world where engineers are familiar with the caliber of the educational program that is offered at Armour. Co- operative students have further aided this feeling by faithfully serving both school and industry and have gained the attention of executives who fully realize that Armour and its graduates can be de- pended upon.

To speak of the Armour Tech Baseball team is to speak of the Northern Illinois Conference Champions. That is the illustrious title that the Tech nine earned when they wound up the '37 season with ten wins and a tie out of fourteen games scheduled. Coach Krafft led the diamondeers through this commendable record. The initial games with the University of Chicago accounted for two of the blemishes on the neat record. After DeKalb's win over Armour, there were eight straight wins for the team. The N.I.C. found the Techawks at the head of the list with a duo of wins over Elm- hurst. North Central, and Wheaton. The Tech pitching staff was somewhat of a paradox, for while it is common knowledge that pitchers arn't hitters. Pacocha and Kruse, both top-rating pitchers, were first and third, respectively, in the list of sluggers. Pacocha led the list with a batting average of .385, while short-stop Wagner was second with a .377. Kruse saw the ball for a .375, and then came Shewchuk with .333. Green. Seidenberg, and Dunne were fifth, sixth, and seventh in the order named. Graduation treated the nine with more than a little respect last year, taking as its toll only three men. Co-captains Logullo and Bartusek, and Shew- chuk. Of course the loss of these men is bound to be felt, yet the main body of the team will remain intact. With this as a nucleus and the possible addition of some lower classmen, who are always pushing up from the bottom to get a place in the sun. Coach Stenger will have some pretty nice ma- terial to work with. The only hold-out of the '37 season was Old Sol , who warms the atmosphere, dries the fields, and takes the kinks out of unused arms. Until a few weeks before the opening game he refused to shine; and while this was no obstacle to the batteries, who were able to limber up in the gym. it was a definite hindrance to the fielders who need a dry field on which to work out. In the opening game of the season the Tech nine bowed to the University of Chicago, losing by the score of 4 to 1 in Greenwood field. Kruse's first hit in the initial bracket drove in Logullo for Armour's lone tally. Chicago made only five hits off of the Tech pitcher, Pacocha. He walked two men in both the fifth and the sixth innings, follow- ing a clean record in the first four. Five batters fanned for him in the first six innings, while Green, his helper, netted two in the seventh and eighth. Chicago's pitcher, Mastrofsky, yielded three hits, two made by Kruse and one by Green, walked five and struck out eight. Mastrofsky yielded two walks in the first in- ning and Kruse officially opened the game by cracking a liner out to right center. Logullo crossed the plate on this slam, leaving Seidenberg and Kruse on, while Dunne and Gebel closed the inning. With two on. Shipway hit one to Skrzydlewski, at first, who tagged the base and threw to home for a double play. Bernard then crossed the plate on Soderlind's single, to tie up the score for Chi- cago. The tie was broken in the fifth inning when Mastrofsky drove in two men who had taken walks. In the sixth, Gillerlain grounded one to third and Gebel threw to first, failing to see White rounding the base. White made the final score. Louis Lugollo Joseph Bartusek BASEBALL tCirujA of Swat Manager Forsberg Coach Kraflt The second battle, also with the U. of C., was more closely contested, with Chicago on the long end of a 2 to 1 score. Chicago broke through Armour's superb fielding only once during the entire game, capitalizing on two runs in the fourth after two men had been put away. Kruse took the pitching honors of the day by allowing only three hits, no walks, and striking out five men. Amundsen struck out five men also, but allowed three walks and six hits to threaten his victory. Wagner hit a good ball in the first inning but failed to receive the necessary support and died on base. In the second, however, Dunne took hold of one and sent it out of the left fielder's reach, taking second on the hit. Skrzydlewski caught the short stop off balance with a grounder and drove Dunne in on the hit. Skrzydlewski ended the inning when caught stealing third. Dunne retired Chicago in their half of the inning when he made a beautiful running stab for the third out. After an error placed Bernard on base in the fifth. Shipway flied out to first, and Soderlind fanned to Kruse. At this place White socked one out in left field to drive Bernard in for the tying run, and Gillerlain lined one over second base, forcing White around and yielding the winning tally. Banging out three hits each, Wagner and Shew- chuk led a confident Armour nine to an 8 to 4 win over DeKalb, for the first victory of the season. Shewchuk, out for the first part of the season, was in rare form, batting in a trio of runs with a double and a pair of singles. Wagner had a field day, smacking out two long doubles and a single. Kruse, pitching shut-out ball, had his bad inning in the eighth, when DeKalb showered him with a cluster of singles. Before he could set the boys down, four tallies had crossed home plate. Armour opened the scoring in the second when Seidenberg cracked a long, clean double into right. He sat on second while Kruse and Shewchuk fanned, but galloped home on Dunne's single. Dunne promptly stole second but wilted there while Gebel watched the third one go by. The Techmen came through ★ with three more in the fifth. Skrzydlewski took first on a dropped third strike and advanced to second on Logullo's hit. On Roche's infield out, the runners went to second and third. Wagner then got hold of one, scoring both Skrzydlewski and Logullo. Stealing second, Wagner completed the circuit when Seidenberg sizzled out a line drive. The seventh saw two more runs for Armour on a walk, two singles, a stolen base and an outfield error. Their final two came in the ninth. Pounding three Elmhurst pitchers for fourteen hits, the Techawks cinched their first home game, 11-5. Pacocha and Dunne led the Tech hitting with three hits each, matched by Bloesch and Steffan of Elmhurst. Kruse scored high with three runs. Despite Elmhurst's hitting spree in the first three innings, when they scored a total of five runs, Kruse's pitching was remarkable. Of the 27 put- outs by Armour he credited catcher Seidenberg with 14, averaging over one and one-half strike- outs per inning. Kruse clamped down in a tight spot at the end of the third. With nobody down, two runs in and two on base, he fanned the next two batters and made Luehmann hit into a force out. With the aid of a few Elmhurst errors and some clean hits. Armour piled up four runs in the latter half of the second. With an adverse 5-4 score facing them in the third. Armour commenced its drive toward that 11-5 final score. It was this inning that five runs crossed home. While Elm- hurst failed to score for the duration of the game. Tech brought in tv o more in the seventh. DeKalb avenged their earlier defeat at the hands of the Tech nine, when they went home with a 7-6 win in the return game played on Ogden field. The Armour ballmen took an early lead of 4 to 1 at the end of the second, but fell behind in the ninth when Derrango smashed a triple into left field. Potsy Pacocha hurled for Armour until he was relieved by Kruse in the eighth. In the first inning Grove after lacing a double, scored on Derrango's single. Upon retiring the side, the Armour team re- taliated with a pair of runs by Logullo and Wagner, who landed on base and streaked home on Kruse's single. Three up and three down squelched the Teachers' possibilities of scoring in the second, while Wagner of Armour drove in two more runs with his single over third. The third inning was a bad one for Pacocha, who was taken for four runs. Following this onslaught the Techawks scored one run on Pacocha's single to right on which Kruse crossed the plate. DeKalb was in a position to score in the fourth, but a quick throw by Pacocha caught Bielawski napping at third. With tv o men on and no outs, the Armour nine muffed a perfect chance to score in the seventh. With men on first and second, Gebel struck out, and Logullo popped. Dunne then retired the side by watching three strikes go by. A similar opportunity was missed in the eighth. Derrango accounted for DeKalb's winning run by smashing a terrific triple over third on which he later scored. Outscoring their Naperville opponents, 5-3, the [si] slow grounders and fanning the third batter. In the third inning, Pacocha walked and Gebel singled, and both of them streaked home on Logullo's hit. The first Elmhurst score came in the fourth, when three men hit, two of whom crossed home. Their third and final tally came in the fifth on Knicker's score. Following these minor rallies, the Techawks tightened up, and Elmhurst went hitless for the rest of the game. With bases loaded in the seventh Wagner smashed a single scoring Gebel and Lo- gullo. Following suit, Kruse sent one to right that scored Dunne and Wagner. In the eighth two more runs were scored. Why go on? the final score was Armour—14, Elmhurst—3. Kruse Techawk nine cinched its third victory while host to the North Central Cardinals. Dunne roused the stands to a cheer when he cracked one twenty feet past the white post on the centerfield fence for the first home run of the year. Kruse, who donated nine strikeouts to the cause, pitched excep- tionally well in tight situations, weakening only momentarily in the ninth. Armour started the scor- ing in the second when Green lined one over to right field, scoring Shewchuk who had succeeded in reaching third. The Cardinals loaded the bags in the third at the cost of only one out, but were held to one run; a running catch by Logullo retiring them. The Shewchuk-G r e e n e combination again accounted for a run in the fourth for Armour. Pacocha had a nice hitting day. and made two of the five tallies, while Dunne's homer took care of the fifth. Naperville scored their two runs in the first of the ninth. The second victory of the same week came to Armour as Paco- cha yielded only five hits to the Elmhurst squad. In contrast to this Tech men saw the ball suf- ficiently well to hit eighteen times. Batting honors of the day were taken by Logullo, Kruse, and Gebel, each scoring a trio of hits and, what's more startling, an equal number of runs. Logullo scored in the first when Kruse hit safely into left. Pacocha retired the Elmhurst team by fielding two Poke it Out. Willie The N. I. Conference title was cinched when Armour took its fourth consecutive victory of the season from Wheaton, 7-4. Getting only eight hits off of Johnson, Wheaton's pitcher, the Techawks took advantage of every opening to bring in scores. Kruse's stellar pitching held his opponents to five hits, four of which came home. Logullo and Wag- ner scored in the first on a wild throw by Wheaton's catcher, but went scoreless in the second. Things looked black when Wheaton chalked up three in the third, to take an early game lead of 3-2. This was short-lived, for Tech came back with two more in their half. The Wheaton nine pulled in their last score when Ellis drove a triple in deep center and came home on Bath's single to right. With the aid of a trio of errors in the eighth the Armour nine brought the tally to its final score, seven runs. Shewchuk was safe on an error by Ellis, while Gebel singled over second, and Logullo singled on a bad throw to first. The final run scored when Green came around on Pacocha's sacri- fice. For the second time within a week the Techawk sluggers downed North Central on their opponent's field to the tune of 7-2. Captain Logullo started things off with a single to center. Wagner fanned, but Seidenberg walked, moving Logullo to second. Kruse, out to win his own ball game, poked a nice single over short to score Logullo, but Seidenberg got caught sleeping at third to end the inning. Pacocha and Wagner scored in the sixth when North Central's pitcher became excited and threw the ball into the stands. While North Central picked up a run on a walk and Stratton's triple. Armour picked up two more in the seventh on a pass to Logullo, a Wagner Green single by Wagner, a nice double steal and a costly error by the Cardinals' third baseman. Tech garnered two more when Green smashed a homer, also bringing in Shewchuk. After one man had already crossed home, Kruse fanned two batters, and a third dribbled out to end the game. The Tech nine arrived at Ypsilanti fresh as daisies, and just to show how chipper they felt, they pounded four pitchers to win 16-5. Pacocha hurled for Armour, yielding only six hits, while the four Michigan pitchers loosened with thirteen. The Techawks be- gan swinging early, smashing out three for two runs in the first. Three up and three down was the best Ypsilanti could do in their half. Armour scored a pair of runs in the second when Wagner pulled a squeeze play with the bags loaded. Ypsilanti matched these two when Scripter and Weaver scored on Good's triple. The Mich nine added another pair of runs to their tally when Walsh tripled with two on in the last of the fourth. Gebel drove in Armour's sixth run when he singled, scoring Kruse from third. A fine hitting spree in the sixth inning chalked up four runs for Armour. A little more of the same accrued in the seventh when the Tech nine placed seven more on the score board. A pair of errors, three walks, along with three hits, accounted for the tally. Dunne walked and scored on Seidenberg's hit; Pacocha and Shewchuk walked, and both scored on Green's single. Gebel reached first on an error, and Logullo walked, both scoring on Dunne's double. Under the fancy hurling of Pacocha, Armour took Wheaton 19-0 in their second game of the year with this team. Ten of the runs were scored in a fourth inning madhouse, when the team batted two short of twice around. Kruse's homer in the Coach and Pitcher Watching Batting Practice With just three games to the conclusion of the season the Techawks refused to slow down in their stride, taking Lake Forest 5-0 on their diamond. Statistics hounds might note that because of the fine pitching of Kruse and splendid support, never more than one runner sat on a sack at a time, only one of which got to third, and another got to second. Seven men were retired via the strikeout route and only two were given passes. Ground outs, pop-ups, and flyouts were the order of the day. Armour put the game on ice by romping around to the extent of four runs and knocking the pitcher out of the box in the first inning. The following five innings was a pitchers' duel, neither allowing a hit. Shewchuk opened the Tech seventh by lining a long double to left center, going to third as that fielder kicked the ball around. He came home for the last score of the game when Skeppstrom hit a ground ball to the shortstop that got away from him. The return game with the same outfit was played under threatening skies, the game being called in the eighth because of a sudden deluge. The game at this point was two all. From the first pitch of the ball it was evident that it was going to be a closely contested ball game. The Lake Forest ball- men opened up the first with a trio of singles which scored Rouse, placing the Northshore score mo- Pacocha fourth, which sailed over the left field fence ten feet from the base line, cleared the bases for four of the nineteen tallies. Pacocha turned in some fine pitching when he allowed only five short hits and allowed no Wheaton man to reach third. Wheaton filled first and second in the fifth, but two forces at third by Gebel and the final nab by Lo- gullo saved third base from Wheaton's spikes. Penn replaced Pacocha in the eighth and continued the good work of his predecessor by striking out three men in the last two innings. The fatal fourth, when all the runs were scored, three Wheaton pitchers were in the box. Moculeski Skeppstrom mentarily in the lead. Armour was held scoreless in their half, but tied things up in the second when with the bags loaded the Techmen tried a triple steal that saw Seidenberg reach home safely. Lake Forest scored their second in the fourth when Roberts came home on an error after he had singled to right field. In the sixth. Logullo reached first on an error and stole home on a wild pitch to Wag- ner. From here on both teams played tight ball until interrupted by the shower. As a suitable climax to a splen- did year Armour finished her last game by winning from Ypsilanti, 5-1. Just to demonstrate their skill, three times the Techawks allowed men to get to first and three times they trapped them with fast double plays. Pacocha scored in the first after Seiden- berg gave the ball a long ride into left. Tech made eight hits, includ- ing Tom Green's 345 foot wallop over the left field fence in the last of the seventh. Armour scored again in her half of the second on an arching single to right cen- ter by Shewchuk, a sacrifice by Dunne and an error on the part of the opposing short-stop. The first double play was executed in the third when Pacocha caromed Weaver's liner to Dunne, who tossed to Wagner, who then whipped it to Green at first to beat out Weaver with three feet to spare. Ypsi made her only score in the sixth on Pacocha Wanning Up The coach of this group of champions was W. C. Krafft who culminated sixteen years of service as Director of Athletics at Armour with this bang-up team. Coach Krafft found it necessary to give up his regular coaching activities in favor of his business enterprises. Bill, as he was called, came to Armour in 1921 from Waukegan Township High School. A graduate of North Central College of Naperville, he had attended the graduate coaching schools of the Universities of Illinois and Iowa. He was tremendously handicapped by deficient athletic equipment and accommodations, but during his sixteen seasons of baseball and basketball he turned out teams that made Armour a name respected among other schools for its good competition and fine sportsmanship. In addition to developing excellent teams, Krafft went much farther in build- ing up the athletic department at Armour. New sports were introduced and men with ability were selected to guide them. The en- tire athletic curriculum grew with him, and a number of improve- ments in coaching technique were introduced during his stay. Last year Krafft found it necessary to drop the work of general athletic director at Armour because of interference with his insurance business. However, he made it possible to remain as coach of his baseball squad. An appropriate finale to his last year here was the production of this Northern Illinois conference championship team. During his fifteen years as coach, the teams under his tutelage won between 65 and 75% of their games. Coach Grant Stenger will take over managing the baseball team for the '38 season. Stenger came to Tech from a series of successful positions with prominent high schools both in Illinois and Indiana, his last position before coming to Armour being Athletic Director and Coach of Wheaton High School where he was for seven years. Grant graduated from Naperville High School in 1915 and both he and Bill Krafft fought their way through under- graduate days at North Central College, Naperville, Illinois. In high school Grant won the distinction of being the all-state fullback and all-tournament guard in 1915. After two years of undergraduate Rocho a double error and a single. The other Armour scores were made by Dunne, Seidenberg, and Shew- chuk, while the Dunne, Wagner, Green combination worked out the remaining two double plays. work at North Central Grant entered the service and spent two years overseas with the 33rd divi- sion, 129th Infantry Medical Corps before return- ing to finish his course in Physical Education at this prominent Chicago suburban college. Both Krafft and Stenger were very prominent in athletics at Naperville; Stenger won his B.S. there in 1921, re- ceived letters in baseball, basketball, and football, and then entered the field of coaching as Athletic Director at Richmond, Indiana. Grant spent one year coaching the Army and received 15 years of valuable experience as can be easily proven by his successful record. One year was spent at Richmond, Indiana as Athletic Director, and one at Wabash, Indiana; four years were spent in a similar capacity at Ottawa, Illinois, and the past nine years at Wheaton. During this time he was able to establish a very impressive record of eight football and nine basketball championships. BATTING AVERAGES — 1937 Player A.B. R.

The '37-‘38 season saw the Armour Techawks engaged in fifteen basketball games that comprised a well-rounded, really tough schedule. All types of playing and kinds of teams were encountered in the season's play, but all had one thing in com- mon and that was stiff competition. The season opened with a win over the Milwaukee Engineers and closed with a narrow loss to the University of Detroit. Between these dates, they played thirteen games, of which they won three and lost ten. In print these figures don't look so good, but the Techawks presented a smooth-working team to their opponents with a spirit and fight that would make any school proud to call them their own. More than a few games were lost by close- margin scores that would give any coach heart- break. This is testified to by the 43-40 loss to North Central, the defeat at the hands of Beloit of 32-35, or the loss suffered to the powerful Univer- sity of Detroit squad of 39-33. At the conclusion of the season the squad elected Henriksen and Swanson as co-captains of next year's team. Both men have turned in fine per- formances in the past season, Ed Swanson being sec- ond high scorer this year and Paul doing some fine work in the guard position. Swanson's scoring power coupled with Henriksen's aggressive spirit should form a combination that will lead the Tec- hawks to many victories in the coming season. For the second successive year. Bill O'Brien, retiring co-captain with Monty O'Connell, took high scoring honors, making 145 points in the fifteen game schedule. O'Connell, one of the leading fighters in this year's Tech frays, chalked up a total of 36 points, followed by Henriksen with 29 points. Graduation will see not only the loss of the fighting Irish co-captains, but also Ed Wagner and Jim Sheehan. This year twelve letter awards will be made to various members of the cage squad. O'Brien, O'Connell, and Wagner are the retiring seniors who will receive major letters and Sheehan and Brown, also seniors, will receive minor letters and sweater. The juniors who will receive awards are Henriksen, Swanson, Hofmann, and Janicek, the former two being awarded major letters and the latter two minor letters. There will be three letters given to the sophomores, majors going to Scherer and Norkus, and a minor to Frank Lurz. The season opened against the Milwaukee En- gineers in the 108th armory on the first of De- cember. Fourteen Techmen entered the game, in- cluding six sophomores led by Bill Scherer, high scorer, who dropped five baskets and three free throws for 13 points. Co-captains O'Brien and O'Connell netted 17 points between them for second honors. A small but enthusiastic crowd saw the Techawks roll up 18 points to their opponents' 6 in the first several minutes of play. A free throw by Henriksen. O'Brien's long basket, and two slow, dead shots by Scherer gave Armour a handy lead. Both teams swapped points on free throws and a pair of field goals by Reese of Milwaukee. Tech accumulated its 24-15 lead at half time on some very accurate shooting from mid-floor and dropping 9 out of its 10 free throws. The referees called a large number of fouls on both teams because of overanxious first game tactics by the fives. William O'Brien lack O'Connell [86] BASKETBALL echcuuJi Gacjesti, Manager Widoll Coach Stonger The second period opened with a spirited rally by the Milwaukee team, slipping 10 points through the Armour defense, while Henriksen made the only play on a long shot. The score stood at 26-25, Armour, and the victory that seemed so near at the half was now quite doubtful. Kubicka took a pass, dribbled in, and sank a shot to ease the tension, and to make things even safer, O'Connell got hot and dropped two quick baskets while he and Norkus tallied a pair of free tosses. Game time nearly over, the Milwaukee coach released his reserves in a futile attempt to find a scoring combi- nation to overtake the Tech five. Meanwhile Coach Grant Stenger tried out his new material, playing Eggers, Sher, Weber, and Lur2. The second game was played at Urbana against the Illinois B team. After holding them to a standstill during the first half, the Techawks fell before the Illini onslaught during the second, and finally went down 39 to 24. The Illini stepped into an early five point lead, but a bucket by Henriksen and two more by O'Brien put the Techs ahead six to five. See-sawing back and forth, the score re- mained close until the concluding minutes when the home squad dropped in two baskets and a free throw to take a half way lead of 16 to 12. Two free throws at the start of the second period by O'Brien and Swanson brought the visitors within two points, but with a retaliation of two buckets the Illini again pulled away. When a nice combination shot, O'Brien to Scherer clicked, the latter placed a nice backhand in the hoop and brought the Tech score to sixteen. Two more baskets by Wagner and Bennis of the home squad brought their score to 28. Janicek dropped in a free shot, and Wagner came right back for the Illini by dropping his in. A series of baskets and a free shot among which was a classy rebound shot by Swanson, brought the game into its closing minutes with the tally standing 38 to 24. A final free throw by O'Brien ended the contest and gave the Techs their first defeat. The Armour five, spurred on by the brilliant defensive play of its lanky center, Swanson, de- feated the Arkansas State Indians when they touched here on their annual loop of the middle west. This made the third time the teams have met. Armour having come out on top in each en- counter. but by a margin that has decreased with each successive year. High scoring honors went to Scherer, who added four field goals and a like number of free throws for a tidy total of 12 points. Swanson, not content with being the defensive star of the afternoon, was second with four buckets and a pair of free throws. Downs, six foot-four center for the Arkansas bunch, was high scoring man for his outfit with a total of 10 points. Arkansas took the tip-off, but lost the ball when it went off side on a bad pass. A basket sunk by Swanson was quickly followed by no less than four by Arkansas, who, though weak in long shots, followed such shots up effectively enough to make them count. O'Brien gave a half time lead to Armour, when he drew a bead on the basket and sank a long one just before the whistle blew. Second half scoring was started by the Jonesboro boys when Downs tipped a missed long shot into the basket. Arkansas, intent upon scoring, became somewhat careless in fouling, and, consequently, what they picked up on baskets Armour made up in free throws. With the same form that they displayed in the closing minutes of the half. Armour again commenced walking away from the visitors, as Scherer, Wagner, O'Brien, and O'Connell tallied. A final two minute rally by the visitors, when they scored nine points, gave the Tech five the cold chills; but it turned out to be a futile attempt. Tech winning 38-32. In the third game of that busy week, Armour went down to defeat, 34-22, at the hands of Lake Forest. Playing on the Lake Forest floor, the Tec- hawks showed a lot of fight and spirit, but seemed to lack that basket shooting ability that goes hand and hand with victory. Scoring honors were divided between Henriksen and Shekels of Lake Forest, each totalling up eight tallies. Within a few min- utes after the start of the game the North Shore men were well out ahead on some beautiful long shots. Although the Techawks made many tries, they couldn't seem to get the range. Loose guard- ing let the home quintet increase their lead even more, bringing the score, in their favor, to 14-3. Henriksen made a gratis toss and then tipped in a free one that Swanson just missed. A free throw by O'Connell and a basket each by O'Brien and Swanson brought the Armour score to eleven at the half, but in the meantime their opponents had chalked up three to leave the score 20-11. In the second half the scoring was a little more even, but for all-round playing the Lake Forest squad was well out ahead with their passing, guarding, and shooting. Although the game was well fought by both sides, the home five held and even increased their lead during this period. Scherer, Swanson, and Sher contributed Armour scores in their half. Returning to the Armory to meet Beloit, Armour fell [87] Wagner O'Connell ★ before them as the men from Wisconsin displayed some basketball prowess. Playing perhaps one of the best games up to that date, nevertheless, the Techawks lost 32 to 25. Fleming and Tamulis, high scoring Beloit veterans, paced the visitors. Swan- son with eight points, and Scherer with seven, led Armour's attack. It was this game in which Henrik- sen received a sock of sufficient force to break his nose. Armour started the scoring when Scherer stepped in with one on a long pass from O'Connell a few seconds after the tip-off. Two successive free throws by Beloit tied the score. Another free throw again put Armour in the lead, a position the Techawks failed to regain for the duration of the game after a tip-in by Tamulis following a missed free throw by one of his team- mates. It was nip and tuck up to the middle of the second half, Beloit never leading by more than two to three points. At this time Beloit began steadily to pull away, at one time having a margin of 10 points. Renewing an eight year south side rivalry. Armour fell before the superior playing of Chicago University, 45-32, on the Mid- way. Chicago's height and ex- perience helped her to take a lead of 21-14 at half time which she easily held throughout the game. Playing cautiously, both teams tried to break through tight defenses, but passes were blocked Norkus Covers His Man and no scoring resulted in the first several min- utes of play. Finally Lousbury took a long hook shot which was good. Rossin following with a fast set up shot. Mullings, a fast breaker, was easily fouled, but like his teammates, failed to connect many of his free throws. On baskets by O'Con- nell, Scherer, and O'Brien. Tech drew up to within two points of Chicago at 16-14. Paine s long shot and Meyer's underhand basket closed a slow first period, 21-14. Meyer and O'Connell traded baskets to open the second half, but a trio of field goals by the Midway five brought them ahead 28-17. Armour, playing with more pep than in the first period, started to worry the U of C quintet, slowly gaining on them, 32-24. In the closing minutes on wild attempts at scoring, the Techawks lost the ball several times, leaving an unguarded floor behind them. Chicago capitalized with three baskets. A Lake Forest rally in the last minutes of the game gave the North Shore men their season's second win over the Techawks, when they met each other for a return game in the armory. Lagging by 13 points at half time, the Armour rallied, rap- idly wiping out the margin and took the lead at 37-35 late in the second period. However, McAllister, unguarded Lake Forest center, put the game on ice by easily sinking three field goals to clinch victory. Armour's first period offense lacked the organization and pep showed by the visitors. The Tec- hawks tried a number of shots and consistently missed them on bad breaks, while failure to get under the basket and follow up the rebounds cost the Techmen a number of points. Of Armour's 17 points in the first half, nine were made on free throws. Stickles and R. Maiman started the scoring on a pretty hook shot and a long try from the side lines. O'Connell dropped his two free shots, but Patterson and Maiman came back with baskets on a pair of fast pivot shots. Lake Forest's accuracy in Stickles and Patterson made followup almost un- necessary. Armour's first score from the floor came in O'Brien's hook shot from the free throw line, after which Scherer made two free shots. Armour's passing offense was frequently broken up by interceptions. O'Connell, the team's only breaker, dribbled through five men and made two points. Brown, handicapped with a knee injury all season made his first start, and played a good game at center. Tech made four points on gratis shots by Brown and Norkus, and another break basket by O'Connell. The co-captains collaborated on another basket while Lurz made a free throw, but Patterson and Maiman added four more points to their team's tally, to lead 30-17 at the half. Lake Forest started the closing period with its second team. Armour promptly scoring 16 points to their 3 to tie the score at 33 all. Norkus. Swanson, and O'Brien led the spirited come- back with two field goals each, while O'Connell and Brown ac- counted for four free tallies. At 33 all. Lake Forest made a free throw, but Scherer's under- hand basket brought the score to 35-34, which was again tied by a free throw. Swanson's basket on a pass and a dribble gave Armour the lead for the first time, and the small shiver- ing audience really yelled at 37-35. O'Brien was forced out on personals at this point. Led by Price, a freshman, garnering 16 points, the North- ern Illinois State Teachers' basketball squad rampaged over the visiting Techawks eager, 44- Sheehan 28. Although injured and taken out during the first half. Price returned in the last seven minutes to score eleven points for the home team. The tilt was evenly matched during the first half, each squad having its own rally in turn. O'Brien made a spectacular showing for Armour with his opening hook shots, while Scherer warmed up on longs in the second half to score high for Tech. After Price had opened his campaign with one short bucket, O'Brien faded through the DeKalb guards to sink a hook shot. Scherer's free throw and O'Brien's next shot gave the Techawks a momentary lead. Price tied it up unassisted and Davis, fleet darky of the opposition, took four of his eleven points under the basket. Peterson edged the local five's tally to 11 before Armour began scoring again. Swanson started with a free shot, the first of five such shots, by him; Scherer made good a sleeper, and after Little's charity toss. O'Brien penetrated the guards for another wonder shot. The Teachers rallied for nine quick points at the start of the second period, and threw the Techawks back, 28-17. Henriksen broke the ice for Tech with one, and O'Connell followed with two more points. Scherer worked in two longs while Swanson helped close the score to 25-31. Price Tho Reporters and Score-Keepers Following the Gamo re-entered the game at this point and began his consistent, although not spectacular, scoring. Three free throws were all that Tech could muster as the Teachers five continued to rule the globe in the home territory. The Techawk triumph over Elmhurst, 44-35, broke a six game losing streak. It wasn't lack of competition, but rather a renewed interest in the game that earned the Engineers their third win of the season. Norkus, sophomore forward, led the team in scoring with six baskets and three gift shots for fifteen points. O'Brien followed with an even dozen points. The game started very slowly, both teams playing with caution in their tight defenses and restrained offenses. The Tec- hawks showed a marked im- provement in their fight under their own and the opponent's basket. Norkus opened the scor- ing on a free pass, and it was six minutes before either scored again, when Elmhurst dropped two free throws for which Swanson retaliated with a beautiful long shot. Eizner's two handed shot and Dreisike's four free throw chances netted the Elm- hurst quintet five points. Swanson took Norkus's pass and converted it, immediately following with another bucket, on a long try from the side lines. Norkus took his own rebound twice, and on the third try tied the running tally at 21 all at half time. The second period started fast, both teams Brown Scherer ★ exchanging free throws and a basket, the score mounting to a 26 all tie. Baskets by Wagner and Swanson against two for Elmhurst, again tied the score. Schleissinger and Dreisike completed Elm- hurst's scoring for the afternoon with two field goals, the visitors in the lead at 35-31. Tech then took hold of the situation and scored the next thirteen points, the whistle ending the scoring spree. Wagner's long shot, Swanson's left underhanded basket and three more buckets, and a free throw by Norkus ended the first really spirited Techawk game in some lime. For the first time in four years Michigan Normal came out on top against Armour, defeating the Techawks 38-29 in the armory gym. Ypsilanti brought along a little fellow named Walsh who packed a wallop that netted al- most half of his team’s total score. Swanson's ability on long shots again made him high scorer for Armour, with a total of nine points, while Norkus and O'Brien followed with eight and seven respectively. Except for an oc- casional spurt here and there the game was rather dispirited. Armour displayed little of the fight that was much in evidence against Elmhurst earlier in the week. A you-make- a-basket-and-then-let-me spirit during the first period accounted for a score of 15 up at the half. It was early in the second period that Normal began Waiting Going Up! to place points between themselves and the Tec- hawks until the difference in the tv o scores was of sufficient magnitude to allow them to coast in the latter minutes of the game. Normal took the tip-off and worked the ball steadily in until within shooting distance, where Norkus retrieved it on the rebound of a missed long shot. Armour started the scoring when Scherer potted one from the far side line, to be followed by similar type shot by Walsh but from the opposite end of the floor. Norkus made one of two free throws good, followed in quick succession by a basket by Scherer, and two dittos plus a free throw by Walsh. Pivoting from a central position, Norkus put two more away to give a one point lead of 7 to 6 for Armour. The center-jump, a spectacle seldom seen in today's revised game, again went to Normal at the start of the second half. With mechanical preci- sion Walsh put away a long shot to start the scor- ing. Armour matched Ypsilanti point for point in the earlier part of this period, but gradually the visitors put the pressure on and in a short time had a sizeable lead. With a whole week between semesters to while away the Techawks took a loop up into Michigan to play two games. One, a re- turn game with the Ypsilanti five, and the other an annual game with Detroit Tech. Michigan Normal came out on top in the first game, beating the Techawks 37-25, for their second victory against Armour in the season. Led by their high scorer and captain Paul Wenger, the Hurons em- ployed a swift passing attack that produced results at the expense of the Techawks. Captain O'Brien starred for Armour with five field goals followed by Swanson who sank four buckets. Playing per- haps their best game of the sea- son, the Techawks defeated the Detroit Tech five in the last min- ute of play, 43-42. Again O'Brien starred for Armour, scoring the winning point on a free throw and piling up a high score of 22 points. The game was one of the season's best, ending in a melee, there being thirty-one personal fouls called throughout the game. The first half opened with both teams working the ball in slowly, matching shot for shot. Stempin broke the ice by dropping in a pot shot which was immediately matched by a long shot by Swanson. Detroit took an early lead on two baskets by Zebroski and Qualman and three free throws awarded by fouls. Trailing by seven points, O'Brien Henriksen Jantcek got hot on his hook shots and tied the score, throw- ing shots right and left. A minor rally composed of short shots and free throws put the Detroit quintet out in front 25 to 18 when the whistle blew. The second half was marked by numerous fouls, each team playing a very tight defense. Zebroski opened with a pair of charity tosses followed by a hoop by Scherer on a long shot. O'Brien dropped a short shot for two points, which was immediately followed with another long shot by Scherer. Henriksen tied the score at 31 all when he swished two long shots from the center of the floor. For the re- maining ten minutes of play, both teams matched each other point for point. Mitchell of Detroit hooped a long shot which was matched by a shot by O'Brien. Armour took the lead on a bucket by Scherer. Carlson, center for Detroit, hooked a pivot shot to bring the tally to a tie. Henrik- sen's long shot was matched by Qualman with a pivot shot tying the score at 42-42. In a frenzied scramble for the ball on a re- bound, O'Brien was awarded a charity toss which he sank placing Armour on top with a 43-42 victory. The North Central Cardinals defeated the Techawks 43-40 in a heartbreaking game played in the first week of the new school semester. Swanson piled up six baskets and a free throw for Tech scoring honors, while Leasure and Morin led the victorious visitors with 14 and 13 points respectively. Tech took an early lead when Norkus emerged from a scramble from under the Cardinal basket to drop the ball through the hoop, and Scherer made a very fast dribble through the scattered defense to tally two more points. Long shots by Schiffler and Morin and a setup for Stucky changed the lead, but O'Brien dropped a pair of free throws to tie the score at six all. Schiffler then got hot and dropped in three more baskets while O'Brien was counting with a pair of free tosses. Wagner's try from near mid-floor and Swanson's follow up brought Armour hope- fully one point behind at 12-13. Morin and Leasure then exchanged with Wagner, Swanson, and O'Brien, but Stucky's basket and a few more by Morin closed the half with the Cardinals leading 25-18. The second period opened with each team playing cautiously. Morin's free throw and hook shot increased the Cardinal's lead, but Swanson took a couple of long shots and Norkus hooked one Jump Ball at Armour's Basket to make the score 28-24. The next ten minutes featured a very fast game, each team playing hard and trying to break through tight defenses. The quintets exchanged points with regularity, till with only a minute to play Swanson and O'Brien scored five points to bring the tally to 42-40. Swanson and Scherer tried long shots to tie the score, but in vain, as Stucky sank a gift shot and the whistle blew with the ball in the Cardinals' possession. The Milwaukee Engineers de- feated the Armour five in the closing minutes of the last road game of the season for the Tec- hawks by the narrow margin of 48-45. The game was played in a gym not unlike Armour's own fifth-floor cheese box. The diminutive floor put the Tec- hawks at a disadvantage, be- Lurz ing accustomed to playing on the regulation armory floor. As usual, co-captain O'Brien led the scoring with a total of sixteen points, followed by Swanson and Scherer, who wound up with ten points each to their credit. Stemming a Techawk rally in the last few minutes of play, the University of Detroit basket- ball squad spelled the final defeat for Armour, 39-33, at the armory in the Tech's last game of the year. Although holding a 25-15 lead at half time, the visitors were forced to check the Techawks rally at 33-31 in the final period. Hofmann Top Row: Broun. Widell. Finnegan. Bodnar. Ryan. Deutcr. Second Row: Neuert. Faust. Dunbar. Meyer. Third Row: Dixon. Vandekieft. Stehmon. The Techawk track squad closed its outdoor schedule with a score of three wins against three losses. Among the outstanding features of the sea- son were the breaking of one old Armour record and the tying of three others. Dunbar’s time of :22.5 for the 220-yard dash cut two-tenths of a second off the old record set by Sturm in 1930. This record was broken in a meet against Wheaton which took place at Stagg Field. In the pole vault, Dixon tied the existing indoor record of eleven feet, while Simeon and Vandekieft were tying the high jump record of five feet ten inches. The half-mile relay team covered the distance in 1:37.4 to tie the record for that event. Dunbar was high point man for both the indoor and outdoor seasons. His 17 2 points in- doors and 81 Vi points outdoors gave him a total of 99 points for the entire season. Vandekieft was sec- ond in the scoring column with 62Vi points outdoors to give him a total of 78Vi points for the season. Captain Faust, a distance runner, was fourth in the scoring with a total of 52 points. Rothenberg's 55 4 points netted him the third position. Of the three meets that the team lost two of them were so close as to depend on the outcome of the last few events. The third loss—to Bradley—was possibly at- tributable to the fact that the winners gathered thirteen out of fourteen first places. In the win col- umn were victories over Elmhurst, Loyola, and over La Grange and Wilson in a triangular meet. In each of these meets the Techawks showed to a decided advantage. The first meet of the outdoor season took place on April 17, at Elmhurst. It was an Armour victory 71V2 to 58 2. This was practically the same score by which the Techawks lost to Elmhurst last year. Armour took eight out of fourteen first places. Dun- bar was high point man of the meet with a total of twenty points scored by firsts in the 100- and 220- yard dashes, the 220-yard low hurdles, and the broad jump. Vandekieft, who carried off high point honors for Elmhurst last year, took second in Armour's scor- ing column this year. The meet opened with a vic- tory for Elmhurst in the mile run to put them out in front for the only time during the meet. Ryan and Finnegan came in in that order in the quarter- {92] mile, and Dunbar and Bingham took the first two places in the century to put Armour out in front. Rothenberg had little trouble in taking the high hurdles and later placed second to Dunbar in the low hurdles. The half mile was one of the closest races of the day as Finnegan's sprint brought him to within inches of Camerer as the latter broke the tape. Simeon cleared five feet seven inches in the high jump which was plenty good for first place. Vandekieft was second in this event and was also second in the shot put. In the discus throw Vande- kieft took advantage of the opportunity and scored a first over Zapler of Elmhurst who had beaten him in the shot put. Stehman heaved the javelin 147 feet for a first place in that event. On April 24 the track squad traveled to Beloit for a triangular meet with Beloit and Ripon. How- ever, Ripon withdrew at the last minute and so it became a dual meet. It was a very bad day for the Techawks as Beloit won 62 2-3—54 1-3. Rain the night before had slowed the track considerably so the time for events of this meet were not very fast. Vandekieft carried off high scoring honors with 11 Va points. Captain Faust started the meet with a vic- tory for Armour when he covered the mile ahead of Crowe and Bailey of Beloit. Later he tied for sec- ond with his teammate Dannis in the two mile run. In the quarter-mile Ryan ran a good race but reck- oned without the staying powers of his opponent and took second by a step. Dunbar brought another victory for Armour when he covered the 100-yard dash in : 10.1. Deuter took a second for the Techawks in the half-mile and later scored another second in the broad jump. Rothenberg got off to a bad start - ♦ TRACK Qut oosi nacJz '37 Manager Winkler Coach Root in the 220-yard low hurdles and as a result could do no better than third, following Volger and Powers, of Beloit, who finished in that order. In the high hurdles event Rothenberg beat out Powers for a sec- ond place. Dunbar lost a fight for first place in the 220-yard dash to Gates of Beloit in a photo-finish. Vandekieft tossed the shot close to forty feet to annex first place in that event and later threw the discus for another first. These two firsts combined with his three way tie for second in the high jump gave him the high scoring honors of the day. First place in the high jump went to Simeon when he cleared the bar at five feet six inches. Meyer cap- tured another first when his javelin throw carried further than any Haagman of Beloit could throw. Any possibility of victory for the Techawks was eliminated when the pole vault and relay events were not run. Winning ihese two would have meant victory for Armour. On May 1 Wheaton came to Stagg Field to chalk up a win over Armour track team 69-62. With a finish of the last event and only the relay left to be run the score stood 64 for Wheaton and 62 for Armour. Wheaton's strength in the quarter-mile stood her in good stead as her four men covered the mile in 3:36.7. Armour scored nine firsts to six for Wheaton but the seconds and thirds scored by the visitors were enough to offset this advantage. It was in this meet that Dunbar set the new record for the 220-yard dash as he won the event in :22.5. The old record was held by Sturm and was made in 1930. It was :22.7. Bingham came within four inches of the broad jump record as he won that event with a leap of twenty-one feet four and one- half inches. He would have had the record if it were not for the fact that he fell backward after com- pleting his jump. The mile and the two mile runs featured the same men in the same places at the fin- ish as Duncan, of Wheaton, Faust, of Armour, and McShane, of Wheaton finished both races in that order. The quarter-mile was disastrous for Armour as Wheaton swept all three places. The Techawks began to pull up on their rivals when Bingham and Dunbar took first and second respectively in the century. In the high hurdles event Rothenberg out- ran Seigfried to bring in another Armour first. Dick Vandekieft brought in still another first for the home squad as he heaved the shot close to forty-one feet. Dixon outvaulted Dunkin, of Wheaton, to win the pole vault and bring the score to 27-27. At this point the future began to look bright for the Techawks as Finnegan won a close decision in the half mile and Deuter took third in the same event. A leap of five feet eight inches was enough for Simeon to gain first place in the high jump and in this event Rothenberg got a third after being nosed out by Lee of Wheaton. After Dunbar's record 220-yard dash the score stood 44 for Armour and 37 for Wheaton. The two mile run brought further points for Wheaton to leave her just four points behind. Vandekieft took a second in the discus throw after losing first honors by just seven inches. With the visitors just one point behind, Dunbar and Rothenberg stepped out to take first and third in the low hurdles. All of this good work went for naught when Wheaton scored a clean sweep in the javelin throw. Bing- ham's victory in the broad jump and Simeon's third in the same event brought the home team within two points of their rivals and the relay was the only remaining event. Wheaton's victory in this event brought her the victory. Dunbar was high point man for Armour with thirteen points scored with firsts in the 220-yard dash and 220-yard low hurdles and a second in the 100-yard dash. May 8 was a sad day for Armour's track squad for on that day Bradley scored an 82-43 victory. Thirteen out of fourteen firsts told the story for the home team. In the mile run Captain Faust lost a close, fast race to Berry, of Bradley. The quarter- mile saw both Ryan and Finnegan come close but not close enough to beat Zweifel, of Bradley, by a last minute sprint. Englethron, of Bradley, covered the century course in :09.9 to take a first over Dun- bar. Seconds were taken by Finnegan, in the half- mile; Dunbar, in the 220-yard dash; and Rothen- berg, in the high hurdles and each second was so close that the judges had to watch very close to de- termine first and second place men. Vandekieft got a second in the shot put and then went on to follow Simeon in the high jump and take a second in that event. In the pole vault Dixon and Braun tied for second honors for Armour. Third places by Steh- man in the javelin throw, Vandekieft in the discus throw, and Simeon in the broad jump were the best that Armour could do in the other field events. On May 19 La Grange and Wilson Junior Col- lege came to Armour for a triangular meet and both teams were from start to finish at the mercy of the home squad. The final score read Armour 107, La Grange 30, and Wilson 26. The Techawks took first place in everything except the 100-yard dash. Dun- bar carried off high honors with 16‘ 4 points gained by a first in the broad jump, a tie for first in the 220- yard dash, seconds in the century and the low hurdles and the winning relay team. Vandekieft was right on Dunbar's heels with 15 points gained [93] by firsts in the shot put, high jump, and discus throw. The 220-yard dash provided one of the events of (he day. Moore of La Grange started in the pole posi- tion and was out in front rounding the curve. How- ever, on the home stretch Dunbar put on the steam to pull up and the last twenty yards were run in a dead heat. The first event was the mile run and was also the scene of the first Armour victory as Captain Faust and his teammate Deuter tied for first. In the quarter-mile Ryan put on a drive coming into the tape which carried him to first place honors over Sincalchi, of Wilson. In the 100-yard dash Moore of La Grange was first, Dunbar was second, and Bingham was third and these three men finished in so close to a dead heat that the judges had some little trouble in determining just who came in where. Rothenberg turned on the steam in the low hurdles to defeat his teammate Dunbar and then went on to take another first in the high hurdles. Finnegan had no trouble at all in winning the half-mile, and Deu- ter took a second in the same event after he put on a sprint to pass Cavalens of Wilson in the last few yards. The two mile run did not give the Tec- hawks much trouble since neither Wilson nor La Grange had men entered in it. Captain Faust took first place in this event, followed by Bodnar, Ewing, and Opila in that order. Vandekieft's heave of thirty-nine and one-half feet in the shot put gave him an undisputed first place, and Simeon took a third in the same event. The high jump was the same thing with Vandekieft taking first again and Simeon taking another third. Armour took the first three places in the pole vault as Dixon, Braun, and Parker cleared the bar in that order. On his last toss Steh- man threw the javelin close to 140 feet for an easy first place. In the discus throw Vandekieft wound up and threw 113 feet. Heike and Stehman followed his example and secured second and fourth places respectively. Dunbar leaped twenty feet eight inches in the broad jump to take a first in that event. In the relay Ryan, Deuter, Finnegan, and Dunbar covered the distance far ahead of competition. In their last meet of the season the trackmen hung up an 87 2-3 to 43 1-3 victory over Loyola. It was a fine afternoon for the Techawks as they visited Loyola and piled up points in every event. (94] Of the fifteen events. Armour succeeded in making a clean sweep of three, and placed two men in each of the remaining events, five of these latter being one-two. Dunbar came home with top honors of 15' 4 points to add to his total for the season. Bing- ham was right behind him with places in three events for a total of 11 Vt points. Captain Faust also contributed plentifully toward the scoring with his pair of firsts in the mile and two mile runs. The quarter-mile run saw a clean sweep for Armour as Ryan. Ewing, and Widell finished in that order. In the low hurdles Nurnberger, of Loyola, won with Dunbar and Rothenberg right on his heels. When the high hurdles came along Rothenberg put on the pressure to win the event going away. Bingham and Dunbar came in in that order in the century also going away from their closest competitors. In the half-mile run Finnegan and Deuter paced it out to take one-two over Toomin of Loyola. Dunbar had no trouble in taking the 220-yard dash and Ryan lost a very close decision for second in the same event. The two mile run was another clean sweep for Armour as Faust, Opila, and Ewing finished in that Covington Pla'.z Hoidcnrcich El wood Dixon Parker Wildermuth Matthews order. This made two consecutive meets in which the Techawks scored clean sweeps in this event. Vandekieft scored another victory for Armour when his heave took first place in the shot put. The high jump was a victory for Loyola without much serious competition as Looney, of Loyola, cleared the bar at five feet eleven inches. Knoll, of Loyola, took first in the pole vault and left a three way tie for second between Dixon and Parker of Armour and Looney of Loyola. The best that Stehman could do in the javelin was to get a second after Calahan, of Loyola, had tossed it 145 feet. Murray, of Loyola, tossed the discus far enough to put Vandekieft's and Stehman's throws second and third respectively. The broad jump again saw Bingham hover around the twenty-one foot mark. His jump of 20 feet lOVz inches led the way for a clean sweep of this event by Armour. Dunbar took second and Simeon took third in this event. The half-mile relay team of Ryan, Rothenberg. Bingham, and Dunbar turned on the heat and came in far out in front and succeeded in tying the record of 1:37.4 for the half-mile relay. [95] Top flow; Hrudc. Matthews. Elwood. Ryan. Bodnar.

The indoor track season brought the Techawk track team a .500 average. The first two m3ets of the season went on the wrong side of the ledger as Chicago won a practice meet and North Central turned in a victory on the home grounds. After these two setbacks the team hit its stride and turned in an easy victory over Loyola and then went on to swamp Elmhurst. Part of the squad went to the Illinois relays, and returned home with eight medals. Deuter, Ryan, Platts, and Finnegan ran on the two mile relay team and Deuter, Dunbar, Finnegan, and Platts comprised the medley relay team. Both of these teams placed against stiff competition. A summary after the Armour Relays, which closed the indoor season for the Techawks. showed Bingham as high point man with a total of thirty-three points. Rothenberg was not far behind him with a total of twenty-six and one-half points. A further look at the season's results shows that Bingham had every right to high point honors with his score of two records tied and one record broken. In the Loyola meet the relay team broke the half- mile relay record only to be disqualified because of a faulty baton pass. Of all of Armour's records the pole vault record was the one that took the real punishment this season. The trouble began with the first meet of the season — with Chicago. Ralph Dixon cleared eleven feet six inches to top the old record by one-half of a foot. No sooner had the dust of battle cleared away than Johnny Elwood also cleared the same height to tie the record. This took place during the meet at North Central. Then at the Armour Relays Elwood cleared eleven feet nine inches to establish a new record. On January 28 the season opened with a prac- tice meet with Chicago. The result was a Chicago victory 64-2 3 to 29-1 3. Armour succeeded in tak- [96] ing only three firsts which v ere in the low hurdles, the shot put, and the relay. Rothenberg gained high point honors with eight points and Vandekieft and McDonald followed with five points each. In the quarter-mile Arnold of Chicago turned on the steam to finish ahead of McDonald and Covington who came in in that order for Armour. Davenport, of Chicago, in his usual style ran a very fast 60-yard dash to come in a victor over McDonald. First place in the 70-yard high hurdles went to Parsons of Chicago as he led Rothenberg to the tape by three-tenths of a second. The half mile was rather disastrous for the Techawks as Halcrow, McElroy, and Webster of Chicago came in in that order to sweep the event. The 70-yard low hurdles gave Rothenberg a chance to avenge his defeat in the high hurdles. He was not slow to take advantage of the opportunity and came in the victor. Vande- kieft heaved the shot far enough to defeat both Goodstein and Letts of Chicago and bring in an- other first for Armour. In the pole vault Dixon tied with Gordon and Tingley of Chicago as he broke Armour’s indoor pole vault record by clearing eleven and one-half feet. The medley relay, consisting of three 220-yard dashes and one quarter-mile, was a Techawk vic- tory as McDonald, Dunbar, Matthews, and Platz covered the distance ten yards in advance of the Chicago team. TRACK 9nxHoosi tiGjcJz '38 Manager Monson Coach Root On February 12 the team traveled to North Cen- tral and were met with a 63-41 setback. North Central's eight first places to four for the Techawks was a margin too great to be overcome. Bingham was the high scorer for Armour with eight points, and Vandekieft, Finnegan, and Covington contrib- uted five points each. Things started out in a poor fashion for the Techawks as the home team gained first and second places. Platz lost a close fight for second place in this event. In the 60-yard dash Rikli of North Central, Bingham for the Techawks, and Heartt of North Central came in so close to- gether that the judges had a little trouble in decid- ing, but they finally agreed that the men finished in the order named. The quarter-mile was the scene of the first Armour blue ribbon as Covington led the field across the finish line. McDonald and his oppo- nent from North Central caused the judges further trouble in their close race for third and it was finally called a tie. The 60-yard high hurdles was a fast race as Saville of North Central and Rothenberg forced Linstrom to tie the conference record in order to win the event. The two-mile run saw Finnegan run even with Schendel of North Central until the last lap. On this lap Finnegan stepped on the gas to leave serious competition far in the rear. In the shot put Vandekieft and Simeon tossed the shot far enough to chalk up a first and a second for Armour. Elwood took a second in the pole vault as he cleared eleven feet six inches to tie Dixon's record. In the broad jump Bingham returned to his old form of hovering about the twenty-one foot mark as he won the event with a leap of twenty feet ten inches. The first win of the indoor season came when Loyola fell before the Techawks, 64 to 31. Loyola, the visiting team, was able to score only three first places and one of these—the relay—was the result of a disqualification. The high scoring honors went to Bingham whose two first places led Rothenberg's efforts by three points. The meet opened with a victory for Loyola as Layden covered the distance ahead of Platz and Faust. This was the only time throughout the meet that Loyola was in the lead in the scoring column. This lead was wiped out when the Techawks swept the next event, the 60-yard dash. Bingham. Dunbar, and McDonald crossed the line in that order without much competition. After his warm-up in the 60-yard dash McDonald stepped out to win the quarter mile with Covington following close behind. Rothenberg came through with an- other first for Armour as he won the 70-yard high hurdles. In the same event Nurnberger, of Loyola, and Elwood were so close that it took the judges some time and a little arguing before they decided that the finish was in the order named. Finnegan took control of the two-mile run and with his custom- ary sprint on the last lap had no trouble in breaking the tape ahead of Leyden of Loyola. In the half- mile Deuter decided to follow the winning ways of the team so he turned on the heat to take his first place. Ryan was a close second in the same event. Bingham turned in his second win of the afternoon as he sailed over the low hurdles in fast time. Vandekieft, Burman, and Rothenberg combined to sweep the shot put for Armour. Elwood and Dixon tied for first in the pole vault as both again cleared eleven and one-half feet. The high jump was the one place where Loyola scored heavily. Looney and Sierks took first and second respectively for the visitors and Rothenberg and Vandekieft tied for third. The one-half mile relay team of McDonald, Cerovski, Covington, and Dunbar covered the dis- tance in record time but was disqualified because one baton pass took place outside of the prescribed area. On March 4 Elmhurst became an Armour victim to the tune of 76-5 6 to 18-1 6. Armour took first places in every event with the exception of the two-mile run. The Techawks completely swept three events: the high hurdles, the half mile, and the low hurdles. Bingham again was high point man with firsts in the 60-yard dash and the 70-yard low hur- dles. The meet opened as Bingham tied the Ar- mour record of 0:06.5 for the 60-yard dash. Bohle of Elmhurst and McDonald tied for second in the same event. Covington stepped out to win the quarter- mile going away from Nottrott of Elmhurst. Rothen- berg, Rogge, and Elwood combined to sweep the 70-yard high hurdles for Armour. In the half-mile Finnegan. Ryan, and Deuter showed that they too could sweep an event. Not to be outdone by all of this Bingham, Dunbar, and Rothenberg teamed up to sweep the 70-yard low hurdles for the Techawks. In order to raise their performance above that of the others Bingham tied the school record of 0:08.1 for this event. Vandekieft and Burman took first and second places for Armour in the shot put. Dixon, Elwood, and Heidenreich almost succeeded in sweeping the pole vault but Dalhause of Elmhurst was able to get a tie for third. Simeon took first honors in the high jump as Vandekieft tied with two Elmhurst men for second in this event. Platz and Faust came in in that order in the mile to give the Techawks some more points. To finish a perfect day the relay team of Rogge, Faust, Clark, and Rothenberg won the relay event. [97] The tenth running of the Armour Tech Relay Games will long be remembered by participants and spectators as 1938's outstanding indoor track meet. The carnival, held March 19 in the Univer- sity of Chicago fieldhouse, saw five records fall as four hundred athletes from twenty seven colleges and seven universities vied for the coveted Armour medals. Chuck Fenske of the University of Wisconsin broke the first record of the evening in his featured one mile race. He was timed in 4:08.9 for the fastest mile ever run on a clay track in this country. Lead- ing the field by 60 yards his finish time clipped 5.2 seconds off the six year old meet record held by Brocksmith of Indiana. Sam Smith and Milt Pad- way both of Wisconsin set new records in the 70 yard high hurdles and the pole vault. The former tied the American record by dashing over the high sticks in 0:07.8. Charles Bechel of Northern Illinois State Teachers College won the high jump for his fourth consecutive year, and set a new record of six feet six inches as a grand finale to his Relays competition. The other record which fell before the terrific competition was in the university sprint med- Tho Awards for the Relays Being Distributed You wouldn't know it. but he is pole vaulting. McDonald passes on the baton. Banking on the turn in the University mile relay. Kansas wins another. ley relay. Illinois University's foursome covered the distance in 3:31.9 taking 11.4 seconds off the old record. Team honors go to North Central in the college division and to Illinois in the University classifica- tion. The Cardinals piled up 43 and 1 3 points on four firsts, three seconds, and some lesser places for the team trophy cup. Although none of their men broke records, the team was very well balanced and saw winners and placers in most every college event. In spite of Wisconsin's three record breaking performances, Illinois tallied heavily enough to nose out the Badgers by two points and take high point honors in the University division. Armour, in addition to making an excellent host to the participating schools, offered them some real competition in her relay festival, and ended up in fourth place, trailing the third place Michigan State Normal team by less than three points. Bingham ran his best 70 yard dash to date in :07.3 for a new Armour record and a first place in the event. The second stellar performance by an Armour man was made by Covington, a freshman, in the quarter mile. He led a large field of entries to win the 440 yard dash in :53.6, an excellent time for a man still to see three and one half years of Tech com- petition. Elwood. another freshman, vaulted to twelve feet for a three way tie for first place among the college contestants and a new Armour record. Platz took a second in the 880 yard run among the college men, and the spring medley relay team placed fourth in their event. Another Relay record came within one tenth of a second of being tied when four Carleton Col- lege half milers ran the two mile relay in 8:08 flat. Carleton started off very strongly to remain well ahead of the field. Had North Central in second place pressed a little closer, no doubt the old TENTH ANNUAL ARMOUR TECH RELAYS record of 8:07.9 held by Illinois State Normal would have fallen. Bingham featured an upset in the college 70 yard dash by breasting the tape two feet ahead of Rikli of North Central, seeded favorite to win. By winning this event, Bingham earned the honor of being the first Tech man to take a blue ribbon in a track event in Armour's own Relays. His showing here, which set a new Armour record of :07.3 for the college dash, indicates that the cen- tury outdoor mark set in 1909 at Tech is doomed to fall at last during the 1938 outdoor track season. The closest race of the evening ended in a tie when the anchor men of Wayne and North Cen- tral ran their last 220 yards to a dead heat at the finish line in the college mile relay. Coe College started off as leader but relinquished first place to North Central on the third quarter when Rikli carried the baton for the Cardinals. Volta, anchor man for Wayne, last year's team champions, did some beautiful sprinting to close the gap between himself and the leader by the end of the race. North Central's victory and twenty point margin over the second place Wayne team is largely due to the fine work of Lindstrom in the hurdles. He took a close second in the highs behind Thompson of Western State Teachers, and a first in the lows in the good time of :07.8. The Cardinals scored heavily by taking the important and colorful sprint medley relay. Led by Rikli, the well-balanced dash and distance men covered the eight laps in 3:36.9. Armour starting well with a large lead by McDonald was unable to maintain the pace and took a fourth in this event. In the University division, competition ran high between the members of the Big Ten, Illinois, Wis- consin, and Chicago. Davenport of Chicago, missed tying the Armour record of :07.1 in the 70 yard dash by a scant tenth of a second. Kansas State took the University two mile relay in 8:04.1, compara- tively slow time. The shot put and other field events were largely dominated by the universities. Frary of Illinois heaved the sixteen pound shot forty six feet nine inches to take the honors. Sam Smith of Wisconsin scored a double win in the University high and low hurdles. His time for the low sticks was :07.7. He tied the American record and broke the Armour record in the 70 yard highs. The judges clocked him in :07.8 in the high hurdles to equal the standing American mark. Charles Bechel of Northern Illinois State Teach- ers deserves a lot of credit as winner of the open high jump for four consecutive seasons. Three times previous to this year he tried bettering the six foot five mark set by Nelson of Butler in 1932. This year he succeeded when he calmly cleared the bar at six feet six inches. Earl Covington took a fast start and ran a smooth, well paced 440 to win Armour's second blue ribbon for the evening. He now shares the honor of a first place individual track event medal with Bingham. Armour's distance men failed to count in the open mile, but Platz took a second in the 880 yard run among the college entries. The pole vault record of 13 feet 8 5 8 inches which Siebert of North Central set last year in the Relays was never thought of as being in danger for some time. That no record is too sure in the Armour Relays was well illustrated by Milton Padway of Wisconsin. The soaring Badger added almost another whole inch to the one year pole vault record, and now the new mark to be sought for, equalled, and excelled if possible in future Relays, is 13 feet 9-3 8 inches. An added feature of the Relays was the running of a half mile Chicago high school relay. Austin High won the singular event in 1:35.7, with Stein- metz taking a second and Lakeview a third. These prep school athletes will no doubt participate some day as college or university stars in future Tech Relay games. The final track event was the very fast Uni- versity mile relay, each man carrying the baton for 440 yards. Chicago's team of Powell, Sponsel, Webster, and anchored by Halcrow, who had previously won the University 440 in 51 seconds flat, edged out Illinois for a first place in 3:24.2. The Champaign men who won the University meet took second, Kansas and Wisconsin taking third and fourth respectively. View of The Tenth Armour Tech Relays The conclusion of the Tech swimming season find the tankmen on the short end of a 7-5 meet record. While this is less than batting .500, never- theless, a look at the competition will show that the swimmers made a good showing and the season may be called quite successful. Hopes are high for next year's team. With the present squad com- posed of juniors, sophomores, and freshmen; gradu- ation, the bogey man of collegiate teams, holds no terror for the mermen. Armour's opponents amassed 504.5 points during the season as compared to the Techawks 356.5. Captain Dodge led his team- mates in individual scoring by winning with con- sistency the 220 free style event, and usually placing in the 100 yard free style. His total was 86.7 points. Following Dodge came Vic Svagdis, who by winning the 100 yard breaststroke and do- ing his bit on the medley team had a total of 56.4. Bob Winblad, newly elected captain, swam back- stroke and was one-fourth of the relay team, was right on Svagdis' heels with 54 points. Fourth place honors went to Pettes, a freshman who won the diving honors for Armour and sprinted the shorter distances. Red Downing was right in there giving his best in the 40 crawl and on the relay team, while big brother Howie did a mighty fine job of managing. Anderson was sort of slow getting out for the team, but when he finally overcame his inertia, he splashed plenty of water in opponent faces. Other stalwarts of the squad are Hawkins, Slavin, Hutchings, and Blume. The opening meet of the season's tough schedule was with Wright. Armour was administered a 57-18 defeat by the junior college; despite the lop-sided score the Tech swimmers gave a battle for nearly every place. Armour made up for what it lost in points by a fine display of spirit. The Wright swimmers finished one-two in all but two events. Havlicek of Wright barely splashed out Captain Dodge, while in the 100 free, almost a photo finish took place with Carlson of Wright first, and Jaskul- ski of Wright a quarter stroke ahead of Winblad of Armour for second place.

The squad lost their second meet of the season to Loyola, but by the closer score of 35-29. The medley relay, one of the victories for Tech, was the closest event of the evening, Armour winning by a touchout. Winblad's debut in the backstroke found him taking a close second. Svagdis took his usual win in the breast, while Dodge took wins in the 100 and 220 free style. The Loyola squad offered strong competition in the 50 yard free and 200 yard relay. The swimmers were inspired toward the Raymond Dodge [100] SWIMMING 7he 7ecU 7cwlzAie iA, ★ Manager Downing wins they gathered by a feminine rooting section in the stands.

For their first victory of the year, the Armour Swimmers defeated North Central at Naperville, by a score of 34-22. With North Central leading 32-27, it was the last event, the relay, which spelled suc- cess to the Tech mermen. Adding to the excite- ment of the meet was the fact that two pool records were broken. In the 200 yard free style. Captain Dodge showed fine form in leading the field in 2:26.1, for a new record. The other record was broken by Henning of North Central, who bettered the old 100 yard backstroke by some seconds when he touched the edge in 1:06.4. North Central took an early lead by winning the opening event, the 150 yard medley. It was in this event that Henning showed his potential speed by giving North Cen- tral almost a half length lead. However, Tech came back with a first in the 220 yard free style, with Dodge breaking the pool record. Because of the intercollegiate rule of three events per man the Naperville squad was a man shy for the relay. However, the football captain was persuaded to don a swimming suit in an effort to preserve the slim lead of 32-27, which they held at this point. With a lead of a length Downing flashed in to win the meet for Armour by 34-32. 150 Yard Medley Won by North Central—Hen- ning, Nelson, and Bricker.

By the narrow margin of one point, the squad submerged South Side Junior College, 38-37, to take their second win. The meet was clinched with the winning of the 120 yard medley. With Winblad swimming the back stroke of the medley, the South Siders succumbed to an early lead in this event and were beaten by almost half a length. Open- ing the meet, the South Side swimmers won the 160 yard relay in the time of 1:23.8. Dodge then went out to even up the score by winning the 220 free style in 2:43.3. Winblad ably filled up the vacancy in the backstroke division by carrying off first place in the 100 yard event; hurried by his teammate, Svagdis, he finished in the nice time of 1:19.6. The South Side divers then took ad- vantage of the only noticeable weakness on the Armour squad, and captured both first and second in that event. This put the home natators in the lead by two points, but the Techawk tanksters went to win the meet by winning the medley. 160 Yard Relay—Won by South Side—Sherman. Johnson, Nichels, and Feeley.

Breaking three pool records, a strong DePauw tank squad defeated Armour Tech, 59-25, at Green- castle in the Tech tanksters' first long trip from home. The three new DePauw records were made by Salisbury in the 60 yard free style, Keiger in the 150 yard backstroke, and the DePauw relay men in the 440 yard event. Thrills and chills were evidenced by the spectators in the 300 yard med- ley. Although this was more than twice the distance usually traversed by the Armour team the finish [101] was one-two in the time of 3:38.2. The only victory of the meet for Armour was taken by Dodge, when he came from behind to take the 220 free style in 2:38 flat. The meet called for inter-collegiate rules which required the Armourites to swim further than their customary distances. The nine Tech tanksters enjoyed their two day stay at Green- castle, and hope they may make the trip next year. 300 Yard Medley — Won by DePauw—Rohn, Ohmans. and Voyles.

Dodge Winblad Svagdis Coming back in fine style, after the meet at DePauw, the team defeated North Central at Bartlet Pool by a score of 35-31. This made the second triumph over the school and the third victory of the season. To start things off with a bang Techmen took the medley with a time of 1:10.5; Winblad, Svagdis, and Downing swimming this event. Svagdis showed great form in traversing the 100 yards in the breast stroke when he flashed to the edge in the time of 1:15.2. With Anderson making his debut in the 220 yard free style. Dodge had to hump to keep in the lead. All of which he did and won this distance with a time of 2:39.0. 160 Yard Medley — Won by Armour — Winblad. Svagdis. and Downing.

Four Man Relay—Won by North Central—Olsen, Groves. Bricker, and Henning. Time. 1:24.9. Although they put up a game fight, nevertheless, the Tech tankmen fell before the Kenosha Youth Foundation of Kenosha, Wisconsin, 45, 2-18, 2. The halves were brought about by a dead heat in the 160 yard relay, each team getting half of the points. This was the only dead heat for a first place swim this season. K.Y.F. is of the order of an athletic club similiar to the Lake Shore Athletic Club, so small wonder that the Techsters were outclassed by their expert opponents. Among the most out- standing events of the meet were the 100 yard breast and the 220 yard free style. Neward of the visitors butterflied the 100 yard course in 1:11.5, which is mighty good time for this event. In the 220 yard free style. Dodge turned in one of his best times when he finished a half stroke ahead of Knapp in 2:37.3. Gathering the only other first of the meet for Armour. Winblad negotiated the 100 yard backstroke in 1:19.5, with Blume taking third. Pettes, Blume. Anderson, and Winblad were the lads who swam the previously mentioned dead heat relay against Kenosha. 160 Yard Relay—Tied in the time of 1:22.0. 100 Yard Breast Stroke—Neward.

Time, 1:10.2. South Side College again was fish for the Tech swimmers, this time being taken by a tally of 44-31. Armour placed first or second in every event ex- cept the diving, where Pettes came in third. Many of the events were surprisingly close, while in the 40 yard free style it was only after a judge's con- ference that Anderson of Armour was proclaimed the winner. The Armour men showed great team strength and a fine spirit. The Downing-Pettes- Anderson-Winblad combination handed in the nice time of 1:23.8 to win the 160 yard relay. 160 Yard Relay—Won by Armour—Pettes, Ander- son. Downing, and Winblad.

This time Wright won the meet with the score stand- ing 51-24. The Techmen were able to harvest only one first in the meet. Captain Dodge supplied these five points by winning a very close 100 yard free style in the time of 1:01.9. Most of the other races were very close affairs, with Anderson barely touched out by Carlson of Wright in the 40 yard free style. The relay also provided the packed gallery with several thrills, the lead shifting back and forth as each man swam his 40 yards. Wright finished a short hands length ahead to win the event. Svagdis trailed Havlicek, former Armourite, in the 100 yard breast stroke to garner a second. Displaying surprising form, Pettes performer dif- ficult dives to take second place in this event. 160 Yard Relay—Won by Wright—Field, Carlson. Rothstein, and Jaskulski.

DePauw journied up to Chicago on March the eleventh to return Armour's earlier visit to Greencastle. With the greater part of the season behind them. Armour showed a decided improve- ment over their previous meet. This first meet went to DePauw by a margin of 35 points; this meet saw a score of only 43-32 in DePauw's favor. Ander- son chalked up five points for Armour by winning the forty yard free style in the nice time of 0:20.0, while Svagdis did the same by winning the 100 yard breast. 120 Yard Medley—Won by Armour — Winblad, Svagdis, Anderson.

Armour's tank squad doused Loyola, 46 to 29; having been beaten by the North Siders earlier in the season. 35 to 29. It was wins in the 220 yard relay, the 40 yard free style, and 100 yard back stroke that proved to be the difference between this win and the earlier defeat. With a chance to make the season even in regards to wins and loses, the squad was unable to do it, as they met the supermen from Kenosha for the final meet of the season. The K.Y.F. won easily, 51-13. Armour succeeded in getting only one first when Dodge won the 220 yard free style in 2:38.0. New pool records were set by Kenosha in the 100 yard breast stroke and the 120 yard medley relay. Sunde The 1937 Armour Tech Golf season, although not a clean sweep of fairway victories, was a most in- teresting year. The team, consisting of four experi- enced men as well as a group of aspirants, met a field of varied competition on strange turf and the home course. Coach Sammy Bibb was the guiding star of the team through its twelve meet schedule. Captain Jack Shanahan. Chuck Skuza. Twick David- son and Don Sunde were responsible for the greater part of the team's scoring. Davidson, team captain for the 1938 season, will have both Sunde and Mackey, veteran golfers, to assist him and Coach Bibb with the new schedule. The opening meet was an an- swer to a long pending challenge with the Armour Alumni. The day was cold and rainy, the course was soggy, and the greens were slow. These handicaps not only inflicted themselves on the grad- uate engineers, but seemed to plague the undergraduates even more, for the alumni won 14 2 to 3 2. A foursome consisting of Larry Davidson. Johanasen, Zing- ham, and Miller representing the alumni, paired up against Shana- han, Skuza, Davidson, Sunde, and Mackey. Scoring for the Techmen of the present was rather limited, but Skuza and Mackey managed to tally in their singles matches. Freshman Sunde and Mackey clicked in the doubles to complete the scoring for the undergraduates. The match, intended to be an annual affair hereafter, was held on the South- moor Country Club course and was planned to fur- nish the squad with practice. The first intercollegiate competition came from Wabash College of Southern Indiana. The meet was held on May Day and on the Tech golfer's home grounds, the Southmoor Country Club. The meet started off looking like a field day for Armour. Al- though the boys did not even threaten to break par, they took 5' 2 out of 6 points in the two doubles matches. Skuza and Shanahan welcomed their Indiana guests, Davies and Wieland, by taking 2Vi points in their eighteen hole doubles match. The duo of Twick Davidson and Don Sunde, inspired by their senior team mates, did some fancy work from the tee and on the green, and ended up way out in front of Burke and Ziegwily, the Hoosier twosome, by a score of 3 to 0 in the second doubles match. Sunde, still hot from his nice work in the doubles match, trimmed Ziegwily in eighteen holes by a score of 2‘ 2 to ‘ 2. In the remaining matches the tide turned, almost enough to change the outcome of the meet. After Sunde's meet saving match, Shanahan and Skuza relaxed enough to be beaten in their singles matches by Burke and Wieland respectively to the tune of the same score, 2 2 to Vi. Coach Bibb smiled in pleasure and relief to see the Tech margin of one point in the score of 9‘ 2 to 8‘ 2 in the season's opening engagement. Six days later the divot men engaged the Eastern Michigan State Teacher's College on Armour's home grounds. The Tech golfers shot good golf, but the Teachers shot better, coming out ahead 12 to 9. Ogelsby. Little Nineteen champion of the great Scotch game for the past several seasons, turned in an excellent 75 card on the difficult and tricky South- moor course. Skuza, who shot an 84, a good tally except when compared with Ogelsby's, was up against the last named, and. as a result, his mighty fine golf went for nil as far as the scoring record shows. In the doubles, Skuza and Shanahan man- aged to pick up three points from the Michigan team. Sunde garnered three more points from Carl- son, by turning in an 87 against the Wolverine's 90. Armour's other scoring came from Shanahan who gave Newhill a drubbing with an 85. The meet with Beloit saw a lot of good golf, even if the home team did drop the match to the foursome from Wisconsin on their course. Notable were the cards turned in by Shanahan and Skuza. They shot a pair of sev- enty-twos, and it took Beloit's best men to nose them both out with a slightly better pair of seventy- ones. The Tech men are to be con- gratulated upon their fine scores for they were playing on a strange course. In the middle of May, Coach Bibb took his men travelling; a picked veteran squad to play sev- Davidson eral strange Michigan courses. The trip included engagements with the Western State Teachers, University of Detroit, Wayne University and the Uni- versity of Toledo. The wandering tee men won their first and final matches, but lost the middle two. The Kalamazoo Teachers presented some tough competition on a rolling and sporty course, but the Bibb fight was in the Armour four, and after a long afternoon of play, featured by some nice doubles play by Sunde and Davidson, Armour came out Malmfcldt [104] GOLF Ue bivoteeSiA, ★ ■ Manager Brissman Coach Bibb ahead 9 2 to 8' 2. The next morning was the start of a sad day for Armour's champions of the fair- way. The Detroit team, although very friendly in the city, showed very little cordiality to the En- gineers on the Fairway and on the green. The scor- ing was one-sided, in fact, so much so that Detroit did it all. The score showed a goose egg for Armour and 18 points for Detroit. All of the University men shot in the middle seventies. Somewhat more familiar with eastern Michigan golfers and courses than the previous morning. Armour gave Wayne University a real battle on May 12. Skuza and Davidson picked up 7 points against Wayne's 11, a good showing for a college foursome against a university on strange fairways. Accustomed by now to University competition. Armour ended its eastern trip with a decided 12-6 victory over the University of Toledo on May 13. Every man scored a majority of points in his matches. The trip, including four matches in as many days, may be considered a successful one, in that the golfers broke even with their four Mich- igan competitors on courses never played before. The first meet at home following the trip, was with Loyola. The golfers met some excellent com- petition and, in spite of Shanahan's good card, the Tech men lost 12 to 6. In the doubles, where Armour repeatedly did its heaviest scoring, Sunde and Davidson took 2 Vi points. The singles matches were all won by Loyola, although Skuza and Shanahan each managed to pick up a point. May 19 turned out to be a practice session for Armour when they played Wright Junior College. The matches were staged on Southmoor's long Fairways and every Armour man won his round. Armour took IS points, the lion's share, while Wright garnered three on a summation of half points gleaned from each match. Wayne University, who had ten days previously trimmed Armour in Michigan, journeyed west and met Coach Bibb's cohorts on the first tee at South- moor on May 22. The Michigan men proved their worth by winning again, and this time on unfamiliar fairways. One Wayne man carded a seventy-five. an unusually low score for Southmoor's long eigh- teen hole route. Armour wound up her season with two more home matches. St. Viators College sent a team that made the Tech golfers look like a foursome of Bobby Joneses. The Techawks took all but one-half a point, coming out ahead 17Vz to Vt. The final meet was with Western State Teachers from Kalamazoo, Michigan, on May 28. As Armour beat them 9‘ 2 to 8 2 on their course, they turned the tables here, and nosed out the Armour mashie men by a mere point, 9Vi to 8Vi. The close meet was lost on the singles matches, the doubles combinations coming through nobly. The meet concluded the season, with prospects of the 1938 golfing year open to en- couraging speculation. The 1938 season was opened by the annual spring golfing tournament. The qualifying round, hindered by bone-chilling coldness and dampness, was held at the Evergreen golf links. Of the twenty men that braved the inclement weather to shoot eighteen holes, eight qualified. Top honors for the day went to Allan W. Gilbert who shot an 88. The five lowest men of the eight qualifying were Gilbert, Richie May, John Fox, Ralph Schmall. and Don Mackey. All of the scores posted for the day's round were consistently higher than usual be- cause of the ten stroke handicap placed on the contestants by the master of all golfers—old Man Weather. The following week-end, the final round was scheduled for Cog Hill golf course. Due to cold weather and an excessively high wind, only five men played eighteen holes of medal play to de- termine which two of them would play an eighteen hole match to decide the champion. The two men with the lowest scores were John Fox and Don Mackey. In the afternoon, Fox and Mackey battled their way around Cog Hill in a close fight. John Fox finally won out to become the champion of the spring golf tournament. Both Mackey and Fox will become members of Sammy Bibb's troupe, joining the regulars. Captain Twick Davidson, Carl Malm- feldt, and Don Sunde. Where is the Ball? Swanson Wagner ★ the second singles was easier than the scores of 6-3, 3-6, 6-4, indicated, while Boehme rallied to take the third set of his match and win by scores of 6-4, 0-6, 6-4. Joe Kubik then cinched the meet for Armour by winning the fourth singles, 6-3, 8-6. Herz, playing in the fifth spot, lost the only match, 2-6, 1-6. Natin- chek and Boehme had little difficulty in winning their doubles match, while Swanson and Kubik came through by winning the last two sets after losing the first. This overwhelming victory was of especial significance to the members of the team, because of their loss to Loyola, inasmuch as North Central defeated the Loyolians by the score 4-3. A group of hotly contested matches were played on Wheaton's courts in the third meet of the year. Fischer led off for Wheaton by defeating Swanson of Armour in three sets, 6-4, 1-6, 6-3, but the score was tied up when Natinchek, playing number two. came through by beating H. Moffett, 7-5, 6-2. Boehme lost another tough match for Armour to Kent. 1-6, 6-4, 3-6. Kubik came back for the Techawks, how- ever. and after three hard fought sets, came out on top, 4-6. 6-3, 6-4. In the two doubles matches the two teams again split on wins. The Moffett-Moffett combination proved too much for Swanson and Kubik, but Natinchek and Boehme saved the meet by winning over Fischer and Kent. 7-5, 6-4. Playing North Central for the second time in the year. Armour opened her home season by again winning, but this time by a narrower margin than in their previous encounter, four matches going to the Techawks, while Napervile garnered three. Three of Armour's points came from wins in the singles while the deciding point came in when they With the return of the previous year's top rank- ing players, Swanson and Natinchek, plus the serv- ices of Boehme and Kubick, a successful year was expected of the '37 Tennis Squad. This was an ex- pectation that was more than lived up to, as the team took five, tied one, and lost three meets in a sched- ule that was anything but easy. Loyola accounted for two of these losses, placing a team on the courts that showed the effects of year-round practice. The only other loss went to Wheaton, who earlier in the season had been held down to a tie by the Tec- hawks. Just to get the feel of combat the Tech team had a little pre-season warmer-upper tilt. It was quite an eye-opener as they went down to defeat six-love before a well-trained Loyola squad. The season opened against the same outfit, and the results were nearly the same as those of the practice meet, Loyola winning this time six-one. Kubic accounted for Armour's only tally by trimming Swafford in the singles matches, 6-3, 6-2; and Swanson showed some pep in his set when he took Loyola's number one man, Beresky, 6-3, but weakened in the last two sets. Likewise Natinchek and Swanson opened their doubles match with a 6-3 win, but yielded on the final two sets. Natinchek and Boehme lost respec- tively to Dubay and Lynch in two straight sets each. Hrubly rallied over Charlton of Armour, cinching a victory with two straight love sets. The team journeyed down to Naperville to meet the North Central Cardinals in the second meet, and journeyed home again with a nice six-one win tucked under their belts. Swanson had no trouble in defeating Groom, 6-3, 6-4. Natinchek's win in 7lie fletmen TENNIS ★ Manager Penn split the doubles. Swanson took a two set win over Groom, 6-1, 6-4, but Hoser in turn evened up mat- ters for North Central by outhitting Natinchek, 6-3, 6-2. The visitors took a short-lived lead when Eksteron brought in his three set victory over Boehme, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4. Kubic took his match with little effort, 7-5, 6-4, while Wagner's victory over Shissler gave Tech a 3-2 lead. With a split in the doubles the score moved to its final standing at 4-3, Armour. Armour's netmen overpowered George Williams in all but one match, when they met on the latter's courts in the first of a two-game series. Swanson and Natinchek, of Armour, and Khadder won their matches with two straight sets apiece, and both of the doubles victories were taken by Tech in a like manner. Kubik put up a strong fight in his first set, holding out for a 7-5 loss, but weakened to a six-love tally in the second set. Ed Swanson, num- ber one man, defeated Bob Christie of Williams with wins of 6-1, 6-3. Natinchek followed up to trim Hansas with a love set and a 6-2 tally. Then Boehme defeated Miller two out of three before Khadder had a chance to down Kubik. Wagner defeated Hable after losing a tough 11-9 set, coming back to take him 6-1, 6-2. Natinchek and Boehme defeated Christie and Khadder, 6-2, 7-5, and the final win was grabbed by Swanson and Kubik against Hansas and Hable. Illinois Wesleyan was duck soup for the Armour boys, who, blazing across the Bloomington courts, took six out of six matches. Armour took four love sets, whereas Wesleyan took but one such set in all of the matches. Swanson fought a hard 9-7 win over Hartsouth and then coasted to take an easy 6-3. Natinchek won 6-1 easily, but yielded a 3-6 set to Crossman before coming back to win the match with a 6-2 count. Boehme gained second of the four love sets when he clinched the third point for Tech from Hartman with two 6-0 wins. Natinchek and Boehme paired off against Hartsouth and Cross- man and easily downed them with a 6-2 count in the first set. The second was a bit harder, how- ever, and took eight wins to cinch the point. Swan- son and Kubik snappily defeated the other Bloom- ington twosome with a love set and finally a 6-2 count to complete the victory. In their third meeting of the year with that mystic fivesome from Loyola, Armour again took the rap, this time by the not-too-bad score of 4-3. Of course the first encounter of these two teams is off the record, for it was a practice meet. The singles play saw Natinchek and Wagner triumph, while Swan- son, Boehme, and Kubik lost hard-fought matches. The doubles resulted in a win and a loss with Kubik and Swanson teamed to avenge their defeats in the singles. Natinchek and Boehme dropped a well-played 6-4, 6-4 match. Swanson was upset by Beresky of Loyola in the singles, after a seesaw match. It took a 9-7 count to take the first set from him. The second set resulted in a 6-1 loss, follow- ing which Natinchek took up the fight to trim Dubay 7-5, 6-3. Swafford, of Loyola, took Boehme in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4; however, Dubay did not have an easv time of it. After running the count to 8-6 in the first set Kubik lost to Kruby of Loyola in the fourth singles match. The second set also went to Loyola with a 6-3 count. In the final singles match Wagner defeated Sierks, his opponent from Loyola, after losing the first set 4-6. The third and last defeat came from Wheaton, who had been held down to a three to three tie earlier in the season. This time they triumphed by the tidy score of 5-1. Wheaton took both doubles matches, and all but one of the singles. Swanson was the lone Tech victor, taking Fischer two straight sets at 6-3 apiece. Natinchek lost to H. Moffett, while Kubik fell before the other Moffett brother. A successful year was wound up by defeating George Williams, 5-1, when they journeyed up here to repay Armour's call a little earlier in the year. Again the doubles were split, this accounting for Williams' only win of the meet. Swanson, with his customary calm, took two out of three sets from Christie, 3-6, 8-6, 6-1. Natinchek and Kubik took their men in two sets each, the former 7-5, 6-3 and the latter 6-4, 6-4. Wagner walked away from Hable in two love sets. A Scene From the Fall Tennis Tournament Led by Captain Dunne and inspired by Coach Sonny Weisman, the Tech wrestlers grappled their way through a ten meet schedule, winning seven of their nine duel meets, and placing fourth in the Wheaton invitational. The two contests that were lost were both dropped to the northern Illinois nemesis, Wheaton. Armour piled up one hundred- fifty odd points against ninety for her opponents. Of these Wheaton scored almost half. Captain Dunne led his team with matches won for the season. The team loses through graduation its Captain, Dunne, as well as Maxant, Kubik, McDaniel, Adelson, and McIntyre, all of whom were heavy scorers this past season. Coach Weis- man regrets their going, but smiles speculatively at his up and coming squad of underclassmen. The wrestlers opened against Morton Junior College on November 17 and won seven of the eight matches for a 35-5 victory. All of Tech's wins were pins, no Armour man taking more than five and a half minutes to fell his opponent. Adel- son and Dunne floored their men in 5:36 and 5:28 respectively. Hanna and Nigrelli duplicated in the middleweights in slightly less time. Maxant and Tullgren in a hurry to get home for dinner had the three count on the Morton men in just over three minutes each. McIntyre, in the heavyweight division, ended the meet by throwing his opponent in the very short time of forty eight seconds. Top Row: Kazmterowicz. Jensen. Grinndal. Olsen. Nigrelli. Baum. Wagner. Yeager. Adelson. Second Row: Weissman. McDaniel. Dunno. Hanna. Balsowick. Kubic. Maxant. Tullgren, McIntyre. Basilc. The competition that was lacking at Morton v as very much in evidence when Wheaton's grappling ministers visited Tech on December 15. The Armour Christmas was in the air and Wheaton took home a present of a 24 to 6 win. Adelson and McDaniel lost their matches, the latter going seven minutes against Wheaton's lanky champion, Schoon. Dunne scored first for Armour by trimming Hess in the 135 pound class. He won on a four minute time advantage. The mat champions came back in the next two weights to whip Nigrelli and Hanna. The latter wrestling his second time for Armour gave Captain Pett of Wheaton a real battle that went nine minutes and which Pett won on a small time advantage. Tullgren made the other score for Armour by outlasting Taylor in the 175 pound class. The Lawrence College wrestling team came to Armour with hopes of winning a meet on January 15. Coach Weissman's boys weren't aware of the fact and took six out of seven matches on five falls and a time advantage for a 28-5 victory. Till at 118 pounds pinned his man in as many seconds. McDaniel won on a time advantage while Hanna, Dunne Kubic Adelson Maxant McIntyre S WRESTLING Ue (Me-cA44AslieAA, Manager Basil© Coach Woissman Maxant and Tullgren won on falls. Nigrelli met a tough customer in the 155 pound division and lost his match by a fall. Six days later North Central tried to do what Lawrence couldn't, but met with a similar fate be- fore the Armour wrestlers, losing 24-10. Tech took six out of eight bouts on three falls and as many decisions. McDaniel and Till each pinned his man, the former in slightly over three minutes. Captain Dunne wrestled the full nine minutes, winning by the referee's nod. Hanna and Ropek lost in the middleweights, the latter fighting at a twenty pound disadvantage, and lasting almost the whole route. Maxant retalliated with a pin. Tullgren and Kazmierowicz won from Rock and Dotlick on deci- sions. Four weeks after trimming Lawrence on her own mats. Tech was guest on the Appleton, Wisconsin campus for an exchange meet. Coach Weissman's boys turned out to be greedy visitors, taking the lion's share of the points in their 25-5 win. McDaniel. Dunne, Hanna and Kazmierowicz all won on pins. Till picking up three points on a time advantage. Nigrelli was the unfortunate one as in the first meet. When Armour went to Wheaton for her return meet on February 23, she gave the prospective clergymen a battle and a scare, the like of which they hope not to see in some time. Tech won decisively the first four matches for fourteen points on three advantages and a pin. McDaniel and Till won over Ellingsworth and Dodd in the 118 and 125 pound divisions. Captain Dunne, after a long tussle with Hess went to work and pinned him in 7:40. Hanna was awarded a time advantage over Lazzaro. At this point in the meet the score stood at 14 for Armour and a big goose egg for Wheaton's state college wrestling squad. The ministers, disturbed by the standing and inspired by the coed's cheers, put on real pressure and finished off the meet in championship style, by taking the last four matches, all on pins, to win 20-14. Had Tech taken any one of the four weight matches on time only, she would have won the meet. Anyway, Captain Pett pinned Kubik in 1:22. Maxant wrestling with an injured finger tired under Berghouse, Kazmierowicz lasted seven minutes with his 175 pound opponent, and McIntyre lost to Schwetters. The meet, a heartbreaker to lose, showed definitely Wheaton's strength and excellence. The meet with Culver on March 5, turned out a very close and interesting affair, but definitely an Armour victory. The final score stood at 24 V2 to 21 2, one match deciding the meet. Armour's old guard of Maxant, McIntyre, Ropek and Hanna all gained pins and points while Kazmierowicz took his match on a time advantage. Grindall fought to a tie collecting IV2 points for Tech. Adelson, Kubik and Nigrelli dropped their matches by falls, all of which made the meet a very interesting one. North Central lost for the second time against Tech's mat men on her return meet here. The Cardinals collected two pins, and a decision but Armour amassed three decisions and as many pins for a 19-13 victory. Dunne and Till won by the three count, while McDaniel, Balswick and Kazmi- erowicz took the referee's nod. The Wheaton invitational meet held there on March 12 was an all day affair. When the shades of evening fell on the gym and the judges had totalled the points. Armour had earned a third place behind Wheaton and DeKalb. Armour's men took a second and four thirds. Tullgren wrestled to a second place in the 175 pound class, while McDaniels, Till. Dunne, and McIntyre tussled for thirds in their weights. The final meet with Morton Junior College con- cluding the season was dropped by Tech. Kazmierowicz McDaniel Hanna Tullgren Nigrelli With practically an entirely new boxing team to build on. Coach Sonny Weissman gave the men a chance to prove their worth in the annual school boxing tournament. Coach Weissman became con- fident of his team after seeing the results of the tournament and as a result entered the largest team in the history of Armour in the Golden Gloves ama- teur boxing competition. Wally Collins, Tom Clark and Bob McMahon proved to be Armour's outstand- ing fighters in this competition. Collins took the honors of the evening by fighting what was termed by the judges, one of the most sensational bouts in Golden Glove history. Culver spelled slaughter for the Tech boxers this season with Palonis and Lindeman the only two victorious fighters in the entire meet. Lindeman is a newcomer to the Armour squad and shows promise of becoming a good man. Boxing tournaments have always helped Coach Weissman select his teams for the meets of the season. This year's tournament again turned up a fine crop of newcomers. Being restricted to non- lettermen, the slugging is little less refined and polished, but, notwithstanding, still a good show to witness. For the first time in its history the affair was run as an interclass tourney, and the summary found the Juniors far out in front as boxers, with four winners in the six classes fought. The new champions are as follows: Koester, 118; Capodan- no. 135; Lindeman, 147; Clark, 160; Rothenberg, 175; and Palonis, heavyweight. Top Row: Weissman. Gryglas. Lindeman. Stober. Koester. Second Row: Nichols, Clark. Capodanno. Colant. McMahon. Koester walked to victory in the 118 pound class, winning both of his bouts by forfeits. The 135 pound class brought together the three C's . Capodanno. Collins, and Colant. Colant drew a bye for the first round, leaving Collins and Capo- danno to start the ball rolling. Things looked pretty even during the first round, with Cap having a trifle edge because of his greater ring wisdom. In the second Collins stopped a hard right on the nose that brought blood and plenty of it. Enough in fact to affect his vision, consequently the fight was stopped. By this time Capodanno had hit his stride and punched out a technical K.O. in the second round against Colant. The heavyweight division brought Gryglas, a junior chemical, against Grigas, a sophomore chemical. Gryglas, in an almost evenly fought match, got the decision and went on to meet Palonis for the title. In this bout Palonis tapped a few more points than Gryglas and won the decision. Rothenberg, another junior schmeir, captured the 175 pound championship by outpointing the two men in his division. In the first bout against Cannon, both men entered the ring cautiously at the sound of the bell, neither taking the offensive but rather feeling each other out with pokes at long range. By the end of the second round the boys had settled down to busi- ness and began to sling leather in earnest. How- Stobcr Gryglas Collins Lindeman Colant BOXING ★ 7he PuxjiLtii Manager De Boo Coach Weissman ever, Rothenberg's speed outclassed his slower opponent, and by the end of the third round it was his bout. His long reach gave him an advantage in the title bout against Rehwald. He made good use of the advantage to gather in points and the title. Clark took the first bout in the 160 pound division from Gardes. McMahon defeated Zoellner by a forfeit when the latter got his thumb in the road of a punch in the first round and had to re- tire. The next bout brought Clark against Nichols and featured some of the wildest swinging of the tournament. Stober, the referee, had all he could do to keep clear of flying fists. Both boys were in there to win and wouldn't take no for an answer. Due to the closeness of the match, the judges called it a draw. With the bout postponed, Clark went ahead to beat McMahon and bring himself against Nichols again in the final. This time Clark managed to outpoint Nichols, winning the match and the 160 pound title. In the much-talked-of Culver meet, Gryglas lost his bout in the heavyweight division by so close a decision that there was some doubt as to whether or not he really lost it. The judges finally decided in favor of the Culver man and left no doubt as to the victor in the minds of the audience. Palonis came through in rare form to defeat his opponent in the 175-pound class. Profits of the tournament were seen in the boxing of Clark. Although he did not win his bout, the decision he lost by was quite close. His style of fighting was greatly improved over his tournament style and he fought with more confidence. Bob McMahon, 155 pounds, really fought the most sensational bout of the meet. His jaw was broken in the third round by his opponent but Bob did not give up fighting. He finished his bout and left the ring with a moral victory if not an actual one. Duke Lindeman made up for Bob's misfortune by easily winning his bout. He was ahead from the start and clung to his advantage to score the second Armour victory. Coach Weissman said that Duke's fighting was some of the best ama- teur work he had ever seen. Lightstone. a new 130- pounder, fought a hard fight and emerged a very tired loser. He showed some talent, however, and with a little more effort should become an integral part of future teams. The 118-pound Koester had shown considerable promise prior to the meet, but lost his bout because of extreme tiredness. Round one was unquestionably his, showing his ability, but he tired quickly and lost the last two. Fred Till, Armour's fighting co-op. fought in the 125- pound class and lost by a fair margin. Till is pow- erfully built, but lacks the experience which marks a good fighter. Capadano, of tournament fame, lasted three rounds but sorely lost his bout. Armour's third entry in the Golden Gloves tournament was marked by a nine-man team. Those entered were Aberer, 147 pounds; Clark, 160 pounds; Colant, 135 pounds; Collins, 135 pounds; Koester. 118 pounds; Knief, 118 pounds; McMahon, 147 pounds; Nichols. 160 pounds, and Rehwald, 165 pounds. Aberer tired rapidly and as a result Weiss- man stopped his bout in the second round. His experience in this fight has given him something to build on for future work. Nichols' fight was like- wise stopped in the second round, but in his case it was a cut eye. He learned from the tournament that tiredness is not becoming to a boxer. Clark did well by winning his first fight, which entered h:m into the quarter finals in the 160-pound division. In his second fight of the evening he was not as successful and lost, but emerged with no injuries. Colant went for three rounds, but lost by a decision. Here, in the Golden Gloves, Collins really asserted himself. He won his sensational bout, but did not escape injury. He had a badly battered ear and as a result was scratched and not permitted to fight his second bout of the evening. McMahon fared rather well as he defeated his first opponent, thereby also entering him into the quarter finals. Fight num- ber two of that evening proved to be his downfall, which eliminated him from the tournament.

McNamara The student administrative body—the Armour Tech Student Association—is an outgrowth of the old Armour Tech Athletic Association, an organi- zation which, for many years, governed all athletics at Armour. However, the need for an organization which could serve the whole student body and act as intermediary between the students and the administration of the school became apparent. The A.T.S.A. is just such an organization. This body which consists of a representative from each class in addition to the President who is a Senior, the first vice-president, a Junior who succeeds to the post of President in his senior year, and a secretary; also has faculty representation in the presence of President Heald, Prof. J. J. Schommer, Prof. P. C. Huntly. Mr. George Allison and Coach Grant N. Stenger. This body carefully administers the Student Activities' Fund, allocating to the athletic teams, the Glee Club, Orchestra, and other student organiza- tions an amount sufficient to carry them through the ensuing year. In addition to this function, the A.T.S.A. board governs the athletic awards and also passes such student legislation as is deemed nec- essary. For the last two years the A.T.S.A. has spon- sored the highly successful Father and Son's Banquet, an event which serves a fine purpose in that it brings the fathers of the students in closer contact with the faculty. All-in-all, the A.T.S.A. performs a very neces- sary service for both the students and the faculty of Armour for it is the medium through which both student and teacher can be brought into closer relationship.

Kruse William P. O'Brien John F. O'Connell Irving X. Seidenberg Neal F. Simeon Edward F. Wagner Honor A Society was established at Armour Institute of Technology through the efforts of C. C. Heritage, a former student of the University of Chi- cago. The organization that was suggested to of- ficials of the Institute by Heritage, familiar with a similar honor athletic society at the University of Chicago, received the immediate approval by offi- cers of this school, who authorized the issuance of a charter for the proposed organization in the fall of 1914. Founded to honor lettermen and to stimulate athletic endeavor at the Institute, the society gained immediate support from members of the athletic teams. During the first year of existence, charter membership was extended to sixteen members of Armour athletic teams by the society. Originally the organization served as a govern- ing body which presided over all campus athletics. In this capacity Honor A” sponsored and encour- aged athletic competition between classes, engi- neering societies, and fraternities, and it officiated at intramural contests and campus activities. Funds collected by the Institute in payment of the student activity fee were entrusted to Honor A. which apportioned the money among Armour athletic teams, musical organizations, and publications. In 1922 Honor A relinquished its governing activities to the newly formed Armour Tech Athletic Associa- tion, now the Armour Tech Student Association, the organization that has since administered those finan- cial activities. Since this change in the program of the society. Honor A has devoted full attention to lettermen of Armour continuing only in the ca- pacity of a council of suggestion on athletic affairs to the Armour Tech Student Association. [113] INTERCLASS AND INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS An integral part of the life at Armour are the inter class and interdepartmental athletics. They afford a means of recreation and exercise not other- wise available to engineers. Under the able man- aging of Bill Chelgren, this year's inter-mural activi- ties were a huge success. Last fall's touchball tournament was taken by the junior chemicals, who went through the season with- out a defeat, winning eight and tying one. Next in order was their elder brother, the senior chemical team, while the preceding year's winners, the senior mechanicals, wound up in third place. The cham- pionship game, between the senior and junior chem- icals, was played while a minor snowstorm raged. The juniors won, 6-0, taking just the first three plays of the game to accomplish this. The lack of scoring can be laid to the coldness of the players' hands and the slipperiness of the field and ball. The conclusion of the inter-class basketball tour- ney saw the junior class up on top of the heap. In the opening round the juniors defeated the seniors by a close margin, while the freshmen took the sophomores in that bracket. The second and final round in this short-lived but snappy tournament brought the juniors and frosh together. The juniors triumphed in the second overtime of the game. 31-28. Baskets by Grabacki and Praudzcik in the second overtime provided the winning margin. The upper- classmen jumped away to a comfortable margin soon after the opening whistle and were able to maintain their advantage throughout the first half. With the initial tip-off of the second half, the frosh began to find the hoop and gradually overcame the juniors' lead, mainly through the sharpshooting of Whitehead. In the closing seconds of the game. with the score 25-23 against the juniors. Hoffman sent the game into a deadlock by dropping a bucket. The first overtime saw each team drop in one bas- ket. keeping the score tied; but in the second half the juniors forged ahead to take the championship. Boxing and wrestling, previously a contest for individuals, turned inter-class this year, and again found those athletically minded juniors in the money. They were victors in the boxing, while the seniors took the wrestling. The frosh put a real team out on the diamond in the spring softball tourney; and, consequently, they took this event. With an array of well placed hits plus numerous errors the freshman meteors handed the previously undefeated junior mechani- cals a 5 to 0 shutout in the final game. It was in the sixth inning that the frosh bunched their hits and as a result scored four runs. For the fourth consecutive year, the class of '38 swept the field in the inter-class track meet. The seniors garnered 45 points, while their closest threats, the juniors, were checked to 36, with 20Vz and 17Vz going to the sophomores and freshmen, respectively. The annual fall league ball tilt started as the seniors held the juniors scoreless while chalking up three runs themselves. The sophomores swamped the freshmen 11-2 in their game. The sophomores then played the seniors for the title, and lost to them 6-3. Get in there. Mac. On your marks! Intramural manager Bill Chelgren. The great Swami passes.

As the seasons progressed, event after event followed in quick suc- cession. The spring of '37 saw track, softball, golf, and ping-pong pass in parade. With the advent of the fall semester, touchball battles held sway on Ogden field, making way as time marched on to basketball and bowling, to be followed by the inter- fraternity swim. Phi Pi Phi again swept the field of entries in the inter-fraternity track meet with 63 points. Delta Tau Delta was second with a strong team, managing to reap 35 tallies against the Pi Kaps' 19. Vandekieft stole individual honors with 17 points. He had first in the high jump, discus, and shot-put, and a third in the broad jump. Delta Tau Delta brought the inter-fraternity soft- ball tourney to a close by overrunning the Rho Delts 19-8 in the finals of this event. Ping-pong, long regarded as a game fit for only the effeminate and those physically infirm, is now accepted in the best of circles, and the type of play- ing seen in the inter-fraternity games is justification of its popularity amongst the houses. Phi Kappa Sigma was victorious in this classic, after a long gruelling session on the green and white tables. The smell of burning leaves in their nostrils and the taste of brown October ale in their mouths was all that was needed to get the fraternity men to haul out the ol pigskin, and resume their touchball activ- ities. As the tournament progressed, one after an- other of the fraternities was eliminated, until only the Delts and Rho Delts remained. An inspired The Winnah! The Phi Pi Phi Champ Rolay Team. Up and Over! Englethaler Skims the Lows. Delt aggregation ran over the Rho Delts, 12-0, to take the championship. Held by Phi Pi Phi for nineteen years, the lease on the Armour interfraternity basketball title was broken by Phi Kappa Sigma when they won out over the Phi Pi's in the final minutes of their encounter. The Phi Kaps won undisputed right to the basketball title, when in a thrilling, hard fought contest, they downed a strong Rho Delt team in the last twenty seconds of play, 11-10. This year's inter-fraternity swim was again taken by the Phi Kaps, and in a manner duplicating last year's sterling record. The Phi Kaps amassed a sum total of 48 points, the same number they gar- nered a year ago at this time. Six firsts in seven scheduled events were taken by the winners, not to mention two seconds and a like number of thirds. The interfraternity bowling tournament, which was begun last year, was held again this year. Each house's five man team rolled three lines apiece and the scores totalled up. The house with the highest total was declared champion. Last year's champions came thru again this year to win the cup for the second consecutive year. Competition was closer this year and the outcome of the tournament was in doubt until the final scores were posted. When Phi Pi Phi posted a score of 2332 for the fifteen lines, eclipsing all other scores, they were declared champions. They averaged better than 155 pins per game. fnsl Louis Lange. Jr. A different, unusual, interesting and outstanding book is the objective of the staff of every yearbook. The i938 Cycle staff ran true to form in this re- spect and this is the result of our endeavors. We, while planning the book, assembling pictures and copy, and desiqninq a cover, were not certain what the finished product would look like. We did not know if the book would fall short of the mark we had set, if it would turn out as we had planned, or far exceed our expectations. We still do not know. It is up to the readers of the Cycle to decide this issue. If you, while perusing this volume, relive the past year at Armour and remember anew the events that make up the life of a Techawk, then the book is a success. How often you refer to it in years to come, will determine to what degree the staff has attained success in «heir endeavors. We have this year attempted to make as com- plete a picture of Armour Tech as possible with words and pictures. More pictures and words were used in the 1938 Cycle than ever before in an Armour yearbook. The full size of the page has been utilized with the result that it has been possible to present larger pictures and more writ- ten material. This year a view section has been added to the Cycle, a view section which we pre- dict will enable Armour students to reminisce over the scenes of their college days for many happy hours after they graduate. It is only with the cooperation and help of a good staff that the ccmpletion of the Cycle has been successfully accomplished. Countless other inter- ested students, officers of various student organiza tions, have aided to a great extent by contributing articles and information about their groups—to «hem we extend our sincere thanks. Others, outside of the student body, have helped a great deal in per- fecting our book. Acknowledgments to these peo- ple are but a small way of showing our apprecia- tion for the assistance they freely offered. Mr. Wilbur J. Horton of the Hammersmith-Kortmeyer Company, Mr. Roy Solem of the Marshall Studios, and Mr. Kenneth Cooley of the S. K. Smith Com pany gave many extra hours of their time that we might produce this book. To the members of the faculty, who gave us assistance when we needed it, we also extend our thanks. [118} THE ★ The staff has learned a great deal about the production of a yearbook in the past year. After they were elected to their positions, they faced a difficult and unfamiliar job in publishing the 1938 Cycle. Gradually they became accustomed to the work and enjoyed watching the book develop. Now that the book is finished, it is with sincere regret that we realize that we are through. We can| now see where we erred and where we could have made improvements. We wish that we could pub- lish one more yearbook for Armour Tech so that we could put to use our experience. With the knowledge we have gained in this past year, we could, with less effort than that expended this year, accomplish a good deal more. However, the scheme of things is not set that way. We must turn over to our successors a job which they must attempt to carry to a successful conclusion in the same manner that we attempted to. They must begin planning the book, obtaining photographs, writing copy, and selling advertisement space with- out knowing very much about the procedure. They will learn quickly though, just as we did and then they will begin to enjoy themselves in handling their jobs. So, much as we dislike the idea, we must yield to someone else and allow them to combat the difficulties and problems involved in editing a yearbook. That this book lives up to our expectations and dees simulate the spirit of Armour Tech, is the earnest hope of every member of the 1938 Cycle staff.

The paper was known as The Armour News when the first issue appeared on April 9, 1928. Since this title suggested that the paper was connected with the meat packing company of the same name, the second issue, on April 20, 1928, bore the name. Armour Tech News. Professor Walter Hendricks, head of the English department, was the father of the idea that the stu- dents should publish a school newspaper. A com- mittee, composed of the members of Sphinx, honor- ary literary fraternity, investigated the possibilities of such a publication and guaranteed the funds for the first issue. With John Hommes, F. P. E. '29, as editor, five issues were published in the period from April 29 to June 1, 1928. Beginning the following school term, the paper was published weekly. It was five columns wide by sixteen inches deep. The size of the News was en- larged on November 1, 1928, to its present form, six columns wide by eighteen inches deep, with the pub- lication of the twelfth issue. Until 1930, when the student body voted to add the cost of a subscription to the Tech News to the student activity fee, the paper was supported by solicited subscriptions. Some interesting sidelights of the history of the News are that as early as 1928, the paper conducted a political straw ballot during the Hoover-Smith presidential race. One of the early ads read, The Red Brick Building at the North End of Ogden Field Is the Armour Tech Cafeteria —in large type, of course. The currently popular column in the Tech News of today, The Slipstick,” was started with the first issue. Typical of the early jokes was, And at the top of the canning industry, we find, not Mr. Heinz, but the dean of the Institute. A new staff is elected each year to manage the affairs of the paper. Each staff has added its in- dividual touch to the style of the paper and has published a paper in pace with current newspapers. Standard copy practice has been instituted, and the paper has reached an efficiency comparable to that of city daily newspapers. During the ten years of its existence, the News has been under the succes- sive guidance of John Hommes, David Smith, Fred Atwood, Wilbur Rudolf, Orville Barnett, Norman Col- burn, Edwin Searle, Russell Johnson, Fred Leason, and co-editors Landrith Parker and James Sheehan. The Armour Tech News has remained an unin- fluenced student publication throughout its life. For some time the policies of the Tech News have been quite definite. In an editorial titled Our Policies, which appeared in the issue of September 28, 1928, the purpose of the paper was made clear. . . . Our only aim will be the aim of our great Institute, whose life we are. Our only hope will be to have something vitally important to say, something about ourselves, and something about our school. We will serve no group, save the group to which we all belong . . . [120] TECH NEWS TECH NEWS STAFF EDITORIAL BOARD Co-Editors-in-Chief......................... Landrith B. Parker, James D.

This magazine was founded by the Class of '01 in the fall of 1897. At that time the first issue of the magazine was published. The pub- lication contained articles concerning student activ- ities, sports articles, jokes, cartoons, and short stories. In the following year the magazine was again published by the Class of '01. After this volume was completed, the class decreed that the Fulchrum should become an annual magazine to be published by the sophomore class. It continued as an organ of the sophomore classes until 1907, when it was decided that the Fulchrum should become a student publication. Staff officers were limited to the upperclasses, and the editorial policy was al- tered. Editors no longer wrote haphazardly, but they followed a definite program. Feature articles were written by members of the faculty and senior students, while departments were devoted to sports, student affairs, jokes, and cartoons. In 1909 the Fulchrum became a monthly magazine, and its arti- cles became more current, tending to make the pub- lication follow the lines of a newspaper. During this same year the Armour Engineer was published for the first time. The Engineer assumed the role of a technical journal and an alumni forum. The Fulchrum continued as a newspaper magazine until 1914, when it was combined with the Engineer. In January, 1909, the first issue of the Armour Engineer appeared. Students and faculty members had proposed a magazine for the Institute which would feature technical articles by Armour alumni who had been in the field of engineering long enough to become acquainted with the problems that face engineers. It was thought that such articles would be of great interest to undergraduates who could use such information to advantage after grad- uation. In addition technical articles written by the faculty, were also included. The magazine was to be representative of the progress in engineering made by alumni of the Institute. Alumni activities were to be mentioned only in a professional way, while student activities were to be avoided. The magazine did not receive the full support of the fac- ulty and the students because many believed that a strictly technical publication could not exist. The magazine was published annually in January, and the second number was so well received that all doubts were quickly forgotten. The magazine was sent to every active member of the Armour Alumni Association. This practice was deemed necessary to insure continued alumni support. In the succeed- ing years before the magazine became a quarterly, several important changes were made that have continued to the present. College notes that dealt with the Institute and students were included. These tended to make the magazine more appealing to the student readers, and kept the publication from fol- lowing the purely technical line that was at first pursued. An Alumni department was likewise in- stituted, and this received commendation from the entire alumni group. Particular pains were taken to publish a neat and attractive magazine, while a standard size was adopted for the publication. The business department secured the aid of an advertis- ing agent who worked hard trying to sell advertis- ing space to engineering and industrial firms. In 1914 when the Fulchrum was combined with the Engineer the quantity of college news was in- creased, and the magazine became both an organ of student and alumni activities. In 1932 an attempt was made to publicize Armour in an effort to secure support to enable the Institute to move to a new location. A publicity committee was organized and given considerable power over media considered to be of publicity value. The committee realized that the Engineer would be of considerable value. It was thought that the pub- lication of a technical journal would bring attention to the Institute. Accordingly, the committee changed both the design and the content of the Engineer. Only purely technical articles were included in the magazine, while the student and alumni depart- ments were eliminated entirely. Engineering ab- stracts filled a large portion of the journal, and each edition of the paper included a guest editorial on some outstanding scientific subject. The engraving was modeled after other famous technical journals and abstracts, and the printing and paper used were suggestive of a scientific journal. The magazine was sent to all technical associations in the country, and it gained a reputation that pleased members of the publicity committee. The dissolution of the publicity committee came in 1933. The technical journal the committee had fostered was left without support. Officials of the Institute did not believe there were adequate facil- ities at Armour for continuing the magazine along technical lines and students were becoming more 1122] ENGINEER and ALUMNUS and more dissatisfied with it. Finally officials of the school acted upon the suggestion of Professor Wal- ter Hendricks, head of the Department of English, who suggested that the magazine be changed to a student-alumni publication. After considerable dis- cussion, it was decided that this recommendation be considered, and in 1934 a committee was ap- pointed by former President Hotchkiss to undertake the work of reorganizing the Engineer along the sug- gested lines. The work of reorganization having been completed, a part of the original committee of students, faculty members, and representatives of the alumni were appointed as a managing board for the publication. This board was appointed in October, 1935, when the Engineer was separated from the jurisdiction of the Student Publications Ad- visory Committee. This separation marked the be- ginning of active faculty control and direction of the magazine. It soon became apparent that students could not publish the new magazine, because of lack of time. The publication was expanding rapidly. Circulation doubled several times. Work on magazine became a full time job. With the normal load carried by the students in their regular school work, they were not able to continue in official staff positions. The stu- dent editor and business manager who had worked hard to make the publication a success were obliged to relinquish their positions to faculty members who were able to spend more time on the publication. Student participation became secondary, although it was still necessary and welcome. The magazine expanded from a purely local journal with limited interests and outlooks to a rank- ing college publication within an extremely short period. The original circulation of eight hundred copies was doubled and redoubled several times. Today it boasts of a circulation of over twenty thou- ★ sand copies that are sent to all sections of the globe. The larger part of this circulation is in and about Chicago, but copies are sent to every state in the Union, to all the European countries, and even to Asia. Seven copies are sent to various districts in Russia alone, and several copies are subscribed to by historical and engineering libraries in London. The circulation in the United States is confined to alumni of Armour, research foundations and groups, industrialists, engineering colleges and uni- versities, and many public libraries. A copy is sent to every Armour man whose address is known. The entire group that receives the magazine is enthusi- astic in its praise of the new publication, and this support has done a great deal in stimulating the managing board to even greater effort. As the magazine expanded, it was found neces- sary to appoint members of the faculty to perma- nent positions of administrative control. In July. 1938, Professor D. P. Moreton was appointed Gen- eral Manager in charge of the magazine, and Pro- fessor Walter Hendricks was reappointed Editor. Offices have been moved into reconditioned quar- ters in the Research Building. There new machines have been installed to facilitate the handling of the large volume of mail that must be handled. Alumni activities have been coordinated by the officers of the magazine, and in this phase of the magazine's activities a valuable service is being performed for both the school and the graduates. The alumni and industrialists who receive the mag- azine are inspired by the splendid work that is being done here at the Institute. They, as employers, are aiding graduates by offering positions in recogni- tion of the aggressive and determined spirit school officials have shown in Institute affairs. f 123] STUDENT PUBLICATIONS ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Student Publications Advisory Committee came into being in June, 1934, when President Hotchkiss appointed members to the committee. This committee replaced the previous Board of Publica- tions which had served the student publications for several years. The advisory committee was in- tended to provide a less bothersome method of supervising the publications. The Board of Publi- cations was a rather large body, and whenever changes were deemed necessary, the entire board, which was composed of students and faculty mem- bers, had to appear. It was often difficult to hold meetings at which the entire board could attend. Current and pressing business was often postponed inadvertently. Realizing that a smaller and more compact body would function more effectively, sev- eral members of the publication board suggested that a new committee be established. Acting on this suggestion President Hotchkiss formed the ad- visory committee. This body was to cooperate with the student staffs of the various publications. It was given complete authority to exercise administrative supervision over the publications. It was to act in- dependently of all divisional interests in matters relating to the general editorial policy, financial affairs, and staff appointments of the student pub- lications. Several faculty committees had been in charge of publication work before the Student Publications Committee was formed. The first of these guided the Fulchrum, the original magazine of the Institute, and later aided student staffs of the Integral, the college annual. This board cooperated with student members of these publications and received sug- gestions from officers of Sphinx honor literary so- ciety. Creation of the Armour Engineer resulted in the appointment of a separate advisory council which was to serve the college magazine. The In- tegral, which later became the Cycle, continued with the original advisory group. The establishment of the Armour Tech News in 1928 resulted in a third publication board. These three advisory groups continued until early in 1932 when the advisory staffs of the Engineer and the Tech News were com- bined into one group known as the Board of Publi- cations. Headed by Professor Walter Hendricks of the English Department, this group was required to determine the editorial policy of these two student organizations in accordance with the wishes of a promotional committee. This promotional commit- tee capitalized upon the two publications and in- tended to obtain additional interest in Armour by using these organizations as advertising agencies. Several changes were wrought in the publications at this time. The advisory staff of the Cycle re- mained relatively free from jurisdiction, since the promotional committee saw less publicity value in the annual. The promotional committee was dissolved after it had served for over a year. Shortly after it was discontinued, the advisory staff of the Cycle was combined with the Board of Publications. This mer- ger affected the first combined group which had full charge over all student publications. However, this combination was to be short lived. On June 1, 1934, the Armour Board of Publications was discontinued and the Student Publications Advisory Committee was named in its place. In October of the following year the Engineer was removed from the control of the Committee, and placed under a managing board. The Engineer had expanded rapidly after it was reorganized in 1934, and it was thought that a managing board which would be able to devote its entire energies to the magazine would remove a portion of the large load that was carried by the Advisory Committee. Although the Advisory Committee has been as- sociated with student publication work for a rela- tively short time, it has performed a valuable serv- ice to the publications. Financial and editorial dif- ficulties that occasionally burdened the student or- gans have been removed, while the advice of the selected and careful Committee members has ma- terially benefited the publications that are guided by this group in innumerable ways. [124] JUNIOR WEEK The Field Being Prepared for the Soph-Frosh Rush Harried and overworked students discarded books and slide rules once more as the thirty-second annual Junior Week rolled into view. Activities planned to please everyone, provided a means of escape for pent-up energy as well as relief for the usual cases of spring fever. Athletics, drama, music, fun and dancing all had their place in the program for this much looked forward to week. Monday's events were to be opened with a hobo parade and Beaver contest, but seemingly poten- tial bums were too busy preparing for Open House to appear, and the event was called off. Open House events were scheduled at 3:00 P. M. instead of the usual hour of 7:00 P. M. so as to relieve con- gested halls and rooms of a part of the evening rush. As is customary. Armourites and their friends danced in the gym at the end of the Open House exhibits and in spite of crowded conditions, the wolves were at work. ★ Tuesday saw the beginning of real activity with the opening of the interclass baseball tournament. This contest was followed by the interfraternity and inter-class relays, which were taken by the Phi Pi Phi's and Sophs, respectively. A hotly contested baseball game followed, in which Delta Tau Delta and Rho Delta Rho fought for the interfraternity baseball championship, which was cinched by the Delts by the score of 19-8. The long awaited Faculty-Senior baseball game was scheduled for 1 o'clock, but only half the faculty team appeared at the appointed time. A hurried check-up by the junior marshalls divulged the fact that a mass kidnaping had been carried out by the Senior gang. After a good deal of persuasion the tied-up opposition was carried on the field strapped to benches. The seniors then proceeded to perform the daring feat of imposing the first loss in thirty years upon a faculty team. An attempt was made to make the game a more serious affair than usual since the faculty really believed that they could put a superior team on the field. Events of the day Sophomores Defend Their Goal The Sophs in a Victorious Snake Dance Case You Don't Know—it's the Elephant Walk Paul Actually Seems to Like the Greased Pole Heave Ho Juniors! proved otherwise, however, and the final score gave the seniors the edge by one run. Tuesday's events were completed by the second annual fraternity open-house. This event found favor with both fraternity and independent men and the progressive dancing party was well attended. Wednesday found fraternity men on deck bright and early for the preliminaries in the interfraternity track meet. At the conclusion of the preliminary events a breathing spell was effected while the Junior-Senior baseball game was played off. The Juniors won the right to meet the Sophomores in the finals by taking top score in a tight game that ended four runs to three. Phi Pi Phi then proceeded to sweep the field of entries in the interfraternity track meet and was privileged to retain the cup for another year. Wednesday evening, respite from athletic con- tests was afforded by the annual spring concert and interfraternity sing. A large crowd filled the his- toric assembly hall to witness a stellar performance of Armour's Orchestra and Glee Club under the direction of O. Gordon Erickson. Between the two halves of the concert the interfraternity sing was conducted. The Sing is simply a contest in which the fraternities present arrangements of their favor- ite songs. Judgment of the winner is based on ex- cellence of tone, arrangement and presentation. Judges for the Sing were Professor J. B. Finnegan, Professor O. Hougen. Professor Emeritus C. W. Leigh, and Professor C. G. Potter. The decision was once more rendered in favor of Pi Kappa Phi. Other fraternities competing were. Phi Kappa Sigma, Delta Tau Delta. Phi Pi Phi, Rho Delta Rho, Sigma Alpha Mu, Theta Xi, and Triangle. Soloists who took part in the evening's program included T. W. Yeakle, baritone. G. E. Danforth at the piano. A. Rune, violinist, and B. F. Heine, ac- cordionist. A high spot of the second half of the program was the farewell performance by senior members of the Glee Club who sang, On Wings of Song and Lights Out with the benefit of a series of beautiful lighting effects. Early Thursday morning found the Sophomore and Junior baseball teams on hand for the final game of the tournament. Four innings of play be- tween these two evenly matched teams showed no score for either. The first of the fifth saw the upper classmen draw first blood by combining hits, walks and errors for a total of four runs. The game en- tered the final inning with the Juniors leading by three runs. A last inning rally, however, brought the Sophs out on top, leaving the final score at 10-9. The Juniors Rolling Home ★ Finish of the Interiraternity 440 The remainder of the morning was given over to Junior-Senior events. The first of this series of games was a freak relay race in which each class entered a team of thirty men. The length of Ogden field was laid off in equal distances which were traversed by the teams in the following manner: The first teams raced in a wheel barrow race, the second in a match box race, and the third in a human wheelbarrow. The next contestants were obliged to run backwards and give the baton to a teammate who engaged in a chariot race to the next man who rode horseback on a classmate to deliver the baton to two teammates who raced down the home stretch in the elephant walk. Apparently pre- liminary practice helped the Seniors, for they elephant-walked down the home stretch to an easy victory in this event. Previously elected delegates from each depart- ment then engaged in a pie-eating contest in which they were required to lay on their stomach and eat a blueberry pie as fast as they could. Having fin- ished the pie, the contestant was obliged to get a penny out from under a pile of flour, without using his hands, in order to complete the contest. Burdette Peterson, a junior civil, proved to be the best of the pie-eaters. The strong man contest was the surprise event of the day. Each department entered its biggest and strongest super-man. The contestants having been lined up, each was presented with a bona fide four-ounce baby bottle filled with milk and supplied with nipples. The first man to drink the entire con- tents of his bottle was to be declared the winner. Frank Bottle-baby Hackman downed his bottle first in spite of determined efforts by fellow strong men to outdo him. It is rumored that a pin might have had something to do with the victory, but re- member, it's just a rumor. The real test of strength was the tug-of-war event in which an official rope supplied with saddles was used. The teams were made up of twenty men each, the Seniors continually charging the Juniors with having twenty-two men, which they most likely had. Three out of five wins were required to take the event. The Seniors had the Juniors at a two-to- one disadvantage when another group of Seniors entered the field and splattered contestants and spectators alike with slightly (?) decomposed eggs. Both sides retired and Junior-Senior events were ad- journed in favor of a battle of eggs, which lasted until the supply of hen-fruit was exhausted. It seems as though something always happens to the best of well laid plans. The shower rooms probably never will smell the same again either. But the show must go on. so by two o'clock or- ganization was again in evidence and the events of Boy. What Form You Can t See the Ball, so it Must be a Hit Rothenburg Taking First in the Hurdles [127] Ah! The Villain Trucks In Swing It. Sister. Swing It Another Impersonation of Doc Tibbals the Pentaghlon were started. Each contestant had to compete in the half mile, run, broad jump, 100-yard dash, 100-yard hurdles, high jump, javalin throw, shot put, discus throw, and quarter-mile run. Two divisions were provided, a letterman and a non- letterman, with gold medals for first place winners in each bracket. In the lettermen's division, Steven Finnegan, the Sophomore track flash, swept the field and in the non-lettermen's division, Ralph Tullgren was high scorer. In an attempt to avoid the customary riotous celebration which ordinarily took place on Thurs- day night of each Junior Week, the A. T. S. A. Ban- quet was arranged for that night. This banquet, held each year as a reward to Armour's Athletes, was held at the Union League Club with Pat Flanna- gan and George Halas, coach of the Chicago Bears' football team, as speakers of the evening. The big day of Junior Week finally arrived. Circus Day—the rush—fraternity stunts—and a new feature, the greased pole. Shrieking gaily into the teeth of a howling nor'- easter, Armourites charged madly at the greased pole set up in Ogden field and for the edification of millions of newsreel viewers and most of all, for the Junior Prom bids on top, proceeded to wipe great gobs of grease from the base of the pole. Despite the fact that the initial charge proved to be a false start due to faulty adjustment of the newsreel cam- eras (no one has yet seen the pictures), all partici- pants patiently scrapped at the grease until the pole began to tilt at an ominous angle. No one seemed unduly alarmed at the prospect of cushioning the drop of several hundred pounds of greased pole, but the marshalls finally deemed it advisable to limit the climbing to smaller groups in turn. Several self-sacrificing souls were found who offered sundry ears and noses to be stepped on and thereby succeeded in removing the grease for two- thirds of the distance to the top. Then out from the ranks stepped two supermen, men whom Ulysses would have embraced as brothers; these two. Hardy McDaniel and Ronald Monson, lovingly gathered the pole to their bosoms and managed, in spite of measures taken by upper- classmen, to retrieve the bids to the Formal from the top of the towering pole. Following the greased pole event, the fraternities presented their skits for the amusement of the as- sembled multitudes. Somewhat moderated tempera- tures favored presentation of the self-composed lines and actions of Armour's Greek letter men. Triangle's version of an Armour Rathskeller, besides being lucky seventh on the program, was very well given and took first honors in the interfraternity pageant. A Boiler Tost at Satan's Homo Goos Wrong ★ The Junior Marshals and the Judges Get a Laugh Out of the Phi Kap Stunt The skit featured several numbers by Herr Blooey's German band and a well staged adagio dance as well as a strip tease by Gypsy Rose Levy. The judges gave the decision to Triangle on the basis that their skit was the best. An added attraction for students only was the series of interpretations of professional peculiarities, the brunt of which was borne by Dean Tibbals. A distribution of the awards of Junior Week by Dean Heald followed the pageant. Medals, cups, and trophies for interclass and interfraternity events were all awarded at this time. Climaxing many months of civil strife, the grounds were prepared for the freshman-sophomore rush. Straw-filled sacks were lined across the field and at the sound of a gun-shot fired by the famous Arctic explorer and scientist. Dr. Poulter, the two teams went over the top and, after reaching the sacks, fought to return them to their respective goals. However, an unusual ability to destroy their op- ponents' bags was displayed by both classes and a final accounting showed that the sophomores had triumphed by the surprisingly low score of five to one. Although outnumbered two to one by the fresh- men, the sophomores made up for lack of numbers by superior organization and a determined guard over the bags brought in. The last half of the rush was enlivened by a per- sistent bombardment with decayed eggs by a group of seniors who thought that they were getting away with something. At the sound of the finish gun, however, the underclassmen, apparently enraged by such fowl tactics, rushed them, ripping the clothes from their backs, and staged a counter-attack with the enemy's own ammunition. The remainder of the day was given over to innumerable showers and baths in a futile attempt to drown the clinging odors collected in the course of the afternoon. Junior Week was then officially adjourned until Saturday night, when the first Junior Informal to be held at the end of Junior Week v as magnificently staged at the Medinah Country Club. It seems that this must have been just the right time and place, for Armour turned out en masse to enjoy a perfect evening. The Junior Informal fittingly climaxed the close of a week of hectic activity. It was almost with a sigh of relief that the techawks returned to their books in preparation for finals, which were less than one month away. Junior Week episodes fur- nished the topic for many a bull session in those final days of studying, and, if for nothing else than that, the Junior Marshalls are to be congratulated and thanked. The time and care taken by them in planning the events are well appreciated by all Armour students. The Phi Kaps go to Hell Dance. You Snake. Dance Swami Xreiman Puts a Chicken to Sleep [129] O.

March 18. 1938 Spring Concert—Mission May 12, 1938 The Musical Clubs of Armour Institute of Tech- nology are made up of more than one-eighth of the school's entire student body. This fact in itself is enough to show the important and prominent posi- tions the Glee Club and Orchestra hold in connec- tion with student activities, clubs and associations. During the past few years the clubs have gained more than local recognition. They now compare with any university or college musical organizations, both in choice of selections and in their renditions The glee club has appeared frequently at the larger Chicago broadcasting studios, and both the glee club and orchestra have given many fine concerts for the more exclusive city and suburban clubs. It is generally known that the work of the musical clubs is difficult. Much time and energy are spent in preparation for concerts. Rehearsals are heldj i regularly every week and frequently special onesje' are called pending important engagements. Mem- bers are repaid for their work through the genial fellowship and the solid friendships they find through active participation. This is evident to the observer who witnesses one of the clubs' meetings. Informal jam and swing sessions build up before and after orchestra rehearsals; while on glee club nights, the fellows crowd the piano to warm up their vocal chords in tune with Danforth's scintillating piano melodies. The clubs have always been actively engaged in furnishing music for Armour Tech functions, even away back in the days when the Mandolin Club was the most popular organization on the campus, and played and sang such old favorites as Bulldog on the Bank and Sweet Genevieve. In 1922, Professor Charles W. Leigh laid the foundation for the present glee club and orchestra and directed :hose newly formed organizations for several years. [130] MUSICAL CLUBS For the past five years Gordon Erickson, present conductor of the clubs, has been a member of Armour Institute's faculty. Mr. Erickson's experi- ence as a musical director began when he was yet a youth. At the age of sixteen he became director of his church choir. By the time he was eighteen years old, he was singing the bass roles of many of the great oratorios and cantatas. He wrote Wave the Flag for Old Chicago when a freshman at that University. In 1921 he became director of the Sun- day Evening Club choir and in that capacity toured the United States with the group. He visited Europe with his school mate, John Schommer; received fur- ther instruction in the art of conducting from Fred- erick Stock, conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In the fall of 1933 Mr. Erickson super- ceded Dr. Daniel Protheroe as director of the Armour Tech Musical Clubs. The clubs this year are the largest they have ever been. The orchestra alone boasts forty-four members, which includes eight wood-winds, fourteen brass, two percussion, seventeen strings, two ac- cordions and piano. The glee club membership has increased this year to a total of seventy-five—four- teen first tenors, twenty-one second tenors, twenty- four baritones, and sixteen basses. The soloists of any musical organization always lend color and variety to programs—a necessary prereguisite for the success of the organization. And ★ so it is with the Armour Tech Musical Clubs. Their soloists deserve much credit for the splendid meri- torious work they have accomplished during the past school year. ... In the glee club the honors were shared by Richard Vandekieft and Thomas Yeakle, Jr., both of the class of '39, who were soloists in the first tenor and bass sections, respectively. They sang solo numbers both with and without glee club backgrounds and were heartily received at all concerts. A quartet was also developed for the Goodman Theatre Concert which included the fol- lowing singers: R. Vandekieft, first tenor; R. Conger, second tenor; H. Bodnar, baritone, and R. Winblad. bass. ... In the orchestra, the senior soloist was Adolph Rune, first violinist and concert meister. George Danforth, '40, captivated every audience be- fore whom the clubs performed with his dazzling piano arrangements of both classical and popular selections. Peter Woods, a third-year cooperative student, received much praise for his beautiful oboe solos with orchestral accompaniment. Two mem- bers of the class of '41 broke loose to take prominent positions along with the above mentioned soloists. These men were Harold Doolittle, trumpet, and Elmer Ratzel, tuba and bass viol. Both proved to be not far from sensational in iheir concert appear- ances this year. Much will be expected from them in future years. Armour Tech Musical Clubs Present Their Annual Concert at the Goodman Theatre It Looks Like a Fight to the Finish Pleosc. Sir. Don't Dio If Armourites can't go to the theater, then the theater must come to Armour. This thought oc- curred to Junior Mechanical Harold Monger in Octo- ber of 1931. He lost little time in converting his thought into actuality. Among his classmates he found enough enthusiastic supporters to warrant the task of forming a dramatic group. Actual activity began when Professor Walter Hendricks expressed hearty approval of the new undertaking and offered his services as a sponsor. Immediately a committee traveled to the Art In- stitute to enlist the aid of the architectural depart- ment. They found five architects willing and ready to design sets and scenery for proposed plays. Then, dubbing themselves The Dramatic society, the or- ganization began the actual work of producing a play. The turnout for the first casting was pleasantly surprising even to the leaders. About thirty theatri- cal aspirants came to hear Monger and Professor Hendricks extoll the benefits derived from participa- tion in theatrics. Enough actors were chosen from the newcomers to fill the cast of Lord Downing's A Night at the Inn. The play was then booked for the closing act on the annual Christmas Concert Program. Obstacles took form from the beginning of the activities. There was no money to buy ma- terials with and the staff was forced to resort to drastic measures. They climbed into the loft in Mission, where they removed the dust-covered props and scenery that had been used for church plays early in 1901. The artistic ability of the architects was sorely taxed in converting these relics into pre- sentable scenery. In addition problems with light- ing, acoustics and costumes developed that had to be solved more or less satisfactorily. In the autumn of 1934 Eugene O'Neill's In the Zone was featured. With experienced men in the key roles, the play did exceedingly well. Bronx cheers that had accompanied many preceding per- formances were absent, and the Tech News which had been skeptical of the players' ability charac- terized the program as A fine performance and a fine audience, featured in an editorial. In 1935 the players enjoyed a banner year. In March Armourites thrilled to a double feature con- sisting of Chekhov's The Boor and the skit, Dress Rehearsal. Successful, the players again turned their efforts to producing their additional plays. The Red Robe of Eugene Brieux was chosen, and this colossal production was shown in May. This play was really a large production, and it entailed con- siderable preparation. Seventy applicants were re- viewed for positions as both stagehands and actors. Eighteen of these men were finally selected to play the male roles in the cast. A score were given positions on the technical staff, while six actresses were imported from the Hull House Theater for the important feminine roles. The meager treasury of the organization was drained in purchasing new materials for sets and costumes. The performance was scheduled for an 8:30 p. m. curtain, and the play was shown to a capacity-filled house. When the Red Robe concluded. Mission shook with the tremendous ovation from the satisfied customers. In the closing months of the year the Players scheduled The House of Juke and Dust of the Road. Both of these plays were well received, al- Bring Him Something Stronger than Water if You Want Him To Come To [132J DRAMATICS Don't Look at Me Like That though they lacked the success with which the Red Robe was opened. Following these productions ihe Players lost the services of Professor Hendricks, who had guided the organization through the most diffi- cult years of its existence. He was succeeded by Professor W. B. Fulghum, who quickly began the production and preparations for his first play under his direction. Shakespeare's Falstaff was stream- lined to a one-act play and was presented in the Armour Mission. So pleased were the players with this costume play, that they entered their play in the National Youth's Association Drama Festival Tour- nament. There they secured additional honor. Just before the term ended, the retiring officers decided to form an even more formal organization. It was named the Armour Players' Guild, and it be- came the function of this body to select, supervise and sponsor the work of the Players. The Guild was also given authority to present deserving members of the club with minor credits in dramatics. In November of 1936 the Guild staged its first play. It was Clifford Odet's Waiting for Lefty. This play concerned itself with modern social prob- lems, and it was presented at one of the larger Loop theaters. September of '37 saw the Players losing their second director. Professor Fulghum, also under a severe academic load, was forced to relinquish his position to Professor Homer C. Combs. Under Pro- fessor Ccmbs. a recent addition to the Armour Fac- ulty, the Players have performed creditably. Two one-act plays, Where the Cross Is Made and The Marriage Proposal, have been given. The second play's cast was composed entirely of members of the classes of '39 and '40, who will form the nucleus of the casts in the succeeding years. To date the Players have had a very interesting history. Many distasteful and discouraging mo- ments have threatened the continuation of a group of Armour dramatists, but the determined effort made by both the directors and the members them- selves has resulted in the success of the group. All are confident that the Guild will continue to pre- sent entertainment to the students of Armour that will be enjoyable and will serve to proclaim this group of aspiring students that work hard to make school dramatic events a success.

Hanson Modersohn Healy Dunbar Thomas Worcester SENIOR DANCE The seniors of Armour had spent three years keeping their long legs carefully guarded at pre- vious dances for fear that one sweeping swing might jar the floor or break the walls from their supports. It was with this thought in mind that the seniors carefully selected as the site of their dance, the Cedar Room of the Oriental Building. Besides spaciousness, the ballroom floor of care- fully selected oak furnished a very satisfactory base upon which the seniors and their guests, their ex- tremely attractive guests, were to build an enjoy- able evening. Thus every requirement for exten- sive dancing was fulfilled and the seniors certainly took advantage of the situation. An attempt was made to hold the largest Big Apple dance in the Orsi history of Armour's social year, but the structural members of the building were not sufficiently strong enough to continue the strenuous dance. Overlooking the dance floor, a spacious balcony served the resting couples as a vantage point from which to enjoy watching others dance. The seniors were fortunate in obtaining the services of Johnny Mullaney and his Band . The boys of the band proved themselves not only able musicians, but clever entertainers as well. Another added feature of the Senior Swing was the presentation of a unique program, which will be kept as a fond souvenir of an enjoyable and danceable evening. [134] JUNIOR INFORMAL Tradition—what is the meaning of that word? What importance did it play in the social calendar of last year? Should we keep tradition? Not that this is a vital question; but the Juniors of 1937, otherwise known as the class of '38, broke all forms of tradition by having their formal in the winter. Besides having the Junior Formal in the winter, they also broke tradition and made a suc- cess of their second venture, a spring informal dance during Junior Week. The class intended to close the activities of a most successful Junior Week with a dance to be attended by all of Armour and their friends. But attend is a weak word to describe the hilarious evening the Armour men spent under the roof of the beautiful Medinah Country Club. The entire club, the spacious lounges, the magnificent ball- room, the many balconies, and the veranda where many fleeting moments were spent, were all at the disposal of the Techawks and their friends. The merry couples, who were not roaming around the luxurious club, were to be found dancing the enchanting rhythm of the orchestra. The many tantalizing tunes which sent the light feet across the floor will be remembered for years to come. May we add that all of Armour is happy that one broken tradition ended in a highly successful and enjoyable evening. Schlifke Anderson Mitchell Jacobson II { 1 L i $ I ARX DANCE As the carefree couples of Armour stepped from the elevator at the 19th floor of the Civic Opera Building they entered the spacious lounges of the Electrical Club. It was here that the most beautiful young ladies of our fair city congregated for an evening of unsurpassed enjoyment. The lux- urious lounge opened to more luxurious, more beau- ful rooms carefully furnished to insure complete enjoyment resulting from absolute relaxation. One of these spacious rooms served as a most suitable ballroom for the Armour dancers. The room with massive pillars holding up the heavily beamed ceiling was panelled in oak which lent to the at- mosphere the richness and sophistication so evident at Armour dances. Surrounding the dance floor many tables were occupied by thirsty weary danc- ers who were content to slowly sip their drink and enjoy the company of Armour men and their guests. The music which furnished the rhythm to the gracefully gliding couples was supplied by that maestro of swing Bob Phillips and his Orchestra . The congenial personality of Bob was put to the supreme test as his musicians were requested (or should we say forced) to play the music which is so important for the Big Apple . May the Architects of the future display the same good taste in planning their dances as those of the past. INTERFRATERNITY FORMAL The third Annual Interfraternity Formal repro- duced the social successes of the previous two years. Armour's fraternity men turned out en masse to spend a delightful evening. Chairman H. C. Anderson and his committee outdid them- selves in making preparations for this affair. Need- less to say, the Greek letter men proved their ap- preciation by thoroughly enjoying themselves. The Formal was held at the Lake Shore Athletic Club, overlooking the shores of Lake Michigan, on Friday evening, January 28, 1938. This location, centrally located, proved to be an appropriate set- ting for this dance which is looked forward to by everyone of the fraternity men on the Armour Campus. The pledges, especially, planned for this event, as it was an opportunity for them to at- tempt to outshine the older members of their houses in their formal attire. Art Jahnke and his Captivators furnished the rhythm to which the happy couples danced the evening away. The evening was further enhanced by the delicious food served by one of the finest cuisines in the city. It was with sincere regret that the fraternity men danced to the strains of Home, Sweet Home. Already they are planning for the Interfraternity Formal next year. Chairman Henry C. Andorson Discussos tho InterJraternity Formal with Gorry SOPH DANCE The merry couples stepped from their cars into the brisk air of January 15th to hurriedly enter the portals of the magnificent Medinah Athletic Club. The gay Armour group passed through this elabo- rate entrance to wait in the luxurious lounge for the special elevator to take them to one of the finest dances in the history of Armour's social highlights. The spaciousness and beauty of the ballroom lent to the atmosphere that feeling of sophistication which is so evident at most Armour dances. The oval shaped room allowed an excess of dancing space in spite of the huge crowd that enjoyed the evening. The balcony that gave the few weary dancers a place to relax must not be forgotten in this reminiscence on the Sophomore Dance. It was with extreme pleasure that the onlookers watched the hundreds of happy couples gliding and sway- ing to soft music. This complete enjoyment would not have been possible if it were not for that silvery haired gen- tleman, Emil Flindt. The music played by this elderly gentleman and his Varsity Crew is that of sophistication, and yet, it has that certain pep that keeps the floor crowded with eager dancers. His arrangements of many of the melodic tunes of years gone by brought happy memories to many; and his artistic interpretation of the new tunes will be associated with the pleasure obtained from Ar- mour dances in the future. The dance was attended by the largest group of faculty ever present at an Armour function and their presence was enjoyed and appreciated by all in attendance. Charlton Smith Worcester Duncan JUNIOR FORMAL The best at last was what, in the very best plugger style, we were told to expect. We, however, were from Missouri—we had to be shown. And this time we were shown, definitely. How? Read on, my stalwart lads, read on. Arriving at the Palmer House at the time speci- fied on the bids, we found two other couples and three waiters in the Grand Ballroom. We had defied tradition and arrived on time. This left us with plenty of time to look over the scene of the impend- ing battle. The lounge, which adjoined the ball- room, was large and contained many easy chairs. The ballroom itself was beautiful and spacious. The tables were lined along the dance floor, which strange as it seems, was large enough to accommo- date the dancers. There was a balcony for those people who like balconies and there was—but let us get on to the important part—the food. Eventually, most of the couples arrived, so we dined. We started the meal with a this had better be good for S5.50 attitude. Surprise after surprise greeted us. First of all, the service was good. As if that were not enough, the food was delicious. When found that some understanding chef had re- moved the bones from the chicken, we voted him an orchid. Then the climax—the ice cream parade. To make things complete, the music was un- usually good. At one o'clock, the strains of Home Sweet Home sent us scurrying to the check room. The dance was over. The class of '39 had done itself proud; to their social chairman and his committee, a vote of appreciation for a job well done. Modcrsohn Hanson Worcester Dunbar Thomas Healey Osri CO-OP DANCE The Co-op Dance Committee with their datos at the Coop Spring Informal. It was only fitting that two months of hard work and concentrated study should be capped with such a gala occasion as the Co-op Spring Informal. Yes sir! with a week of tests under their belts and the job” awaiting them the fol- lowing Monday morning, the Co-ops really turned out en masse for their very own dance. This gem of the social season was held on the first of April at that congenial hostelry, the Grae- mere Hotel . Music was furnished by none other than Micky Prindl and the boys. Characterized by a smooth velvet rhythm, Micky gave the gracefully gliding couples all they could ask for and more. As ample proof of the enjoyment that was being had, the couples didn't begin to steal away early in the evening but stayed until the last number had been played. The ballroom itself was a beautiful job with its charming style and soft lighting. A fitting setting for this noteworthy occa- sion. Congratulations are extended to Chairman Anthony and to the group that so wholeheartedly backed him. All of Armour hopes that the Co-ops will con- tinue to plan dances of this sort, dances that bid to rival if not surpass the dances given by the regular classes. The Co-op Spring Informal has a good start to becoming a yearly traditional event with Armour students.

The chapter established at Armour became the fourteenth chapter of the national organization which now has over seventy-five active branches lo- cated at important colleges of engineering throughout the country. The first chapter of the national organization was founded at Lehigh University in 1885 to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as under- graduates of engineering and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engi- neering colleges of America.” Since the fraternity was founded, membership has been conferred upon some twenty thousand student and graduate engi- neers. Following the policies of the Tau Beta Pi Association, Illinois Beta chapter has been actively engaged in promoting and in aiding student engi- neering affairs and activities since it was chartered over thirty years ago. In addition to the student affairs and activities which interest the chapter, it spends considerable time in following the activities of graduate engineers striving to promote the cause of engineering. Representing a large, national, honorary fraternity and embracing all branches of engineering curriculum, the affairs and program of Illinois Beta have been followed as a model and have been a precedent for the activities of the local societies and organiza- tions of Armour Institute.

This organization was established in March, 1907, and it became the second honorary fraternity of the school. Previous to its forma- tion executive officers of the Fulchrum, a pamphlet published monthly by Armour students, and the Integral, the college annual, united to coordinate the operations of the Armour publications. Members of this coordinating com- mittee, seeking to foster and promote publication work at the Institute and to honor those students who had rendered meritorious service to the Institute through literary accomplishments, ultimately founded Sphinx. The aims of the founders of the society have been well carried out by the succeeding members of Sphinx. It has been through this fraternity that many of the im- portant changes that have benefited the publications of Armour have been proposed. The fraternity was instrumental in changing the name of the col- lege annual from the Inteqral to the Cycle, and in 1909 the fraternitv was suc- cessful in its efforts to found the Armour Engineer. In February of 1928 Sphinx encouraged the establishment of a student newspaper. It strengthened this proposal with a guarantee of forty-five dollars which was intended to cover the cost of the first issue of the paper. It was this assurance of assistance that helped to establish the Armour Tech News. Furthermore, the society has rewarded over 275 student members of Armour publications with member- ship in Sphinx. f 151} OFFICERS Zta KafLfia 1904 President Vice-President . . .

The fraternity was organized in 1904 by ten student members of the department of electrical engineering at the University of Illinois. These students realized that grouping professional men and students was necessary if a profession was to expand completely. Members of the newly formed society worked hard in endeavoring to make the organization a success, and the fraternity became well known in profes- sional circles. Realizing that affiliation with this fraternity offered many ad- vantages, a group cf students of the Armour electrical engineering deoart- ment petitioned for membership in Eta Kappa Nu. On May 24, 1909, Delta Chapter of Armour Institute was chartered by Eta Kappa Nu fraternity. This chapter became the fourth branch of the fraternity. At present there are twenty-eight student chapters engaged in promoting engineering activities. These chapters are assisted by eleven alumni groups that give close attention to electrical engineering activities in the field. Association with the Amer- ican Institute of Electrical Engineers and the founding in 1921 of a bimonthly publication, The Bridge, has served to bring members of the fraternity into closer contact with the engineering profession.

Membership in this fraternity was limited to students of architecture of the Institute, and it continued as an honorary fraternity fostering the promotion of architecture at Armour. In 1915 members of Alpha Delta Theta petitioned for membership in Scarab fraternity. The petition was received favorably, and shortly afterwards Edfou Temple of Scarab, professional architectural fraternity, was organized at Armour. Scarab fraternity had been founded in 1909 at the University of Illinois, and Armour's Edfou Temple became the third temple of the organiza- tion. Since the establishment of Edfou Temple ten additional temples have been granted at leading schools of architecture throughout the midwest en- larging Scarab fraternity to thirteen temples. The fraternity was founded to provide a broader knowledge of architecture and to promote friendly com- petition between students and schools of architecture. Endeavoring to com- plete this objective, Edfou Temple has added a stimulus to the study of de- sign by offering numerous competitions during the school year. These com- petitions are not limited to members of the chapter but are open to all archi- tectural students of the Institute. Not only have the members of Edfou Temple promoted student activities at Armour but they have shown active interest in the traveling exhibits, outstanding student exhibits of each temple ar- ranged by a supreme council for a tour of each of the fraternity's temples, that are shown each year.

Peltier Anderson Berger Bodnar Danek Gamson Loulzenheiscr Marshall Peltier Poskonka Thodos Wagner Nearly four thousand honor students of chemical engineering have been initiated into Phi Lambda Upsilon since this honorary fraternity was founded at the University of Illinois thirty-nine years ago. The fraternity, founded as a local honor society within the chemical department of the school, was ac- tive in both school and social activities. Its position became more firmly established, and in 1906 it authorized a chapter at the University of Wiscon- sin. This chapter was confined largely to graduate students, but the two chapters combined their activities and national development followed quickly. Chapters were granted at the larger chemical colleges of the country, and since its formation in 1899 twenty-seven additional chapters have been incor- porated into the fraternity. Omicron chapter was established at Armour In- stitute of Technology after Professor C. A. Tibbals and Mr. F. C. Smith of the Armour faculty were successful in petitioning Phi Lambda Upsilon for a branch at this school. Although Omicron chapter has only been in existence a relatively short time, it has given outstanding service to the national or- ganization. Applied chemistry has been encouraged by all student mem- bers, and the chapter as a whole is active in striving for higher scholarship and scholastic awards. In addition to encouraging high scholarship among the members, it has long been a policy of Omicron chapter to foster and promote original investigation and experiment in all branches of applied chemistry.

In the following year a petition for a chap- ter of Chi Epsilon at Armour was presented to the officers of the fraternity. This petition was forwarded to the society by junior and senior members of the civil engineering department of this school. The application was ac- cepted by the fraternity, and a chapter was granted on March 9, 1923, to Armour Institute. This was one of the first chapters to be approved by the organization; today there are fourteen branches of Chi Epsilon in various sections of the country. Since the organization of the fraternity over two thousand students have been initiated into the organization, but the enlarge- ment of the fraternity has not been confined to increasing the membership. Shortly after the fraternity was founded. The Transit was issued. This is a bi- annual magazine recognized as the official publication of the organization. It has served to knit the chapters into one complete unit, besides having proved an aid to members and chapters. A member from each chapter serves on the editorial board of the magazine, and it is this procedure that has resulted in such a high spirit of cooperation between the individual chapters of the fraternity for the betterment and advancement of Chi Epsilon itself.

Jacobson {160} Arends Beardsley Downing Dunbar Jacobson Labes Lango Parker Porlot Sheehan The first honorary engineering fraternity to be founded at Armour was Salamander, the honor society of the fire protection engineering department. Although students of the department had long realized the benefit of such an organization, it was not until nineteen years after the inauguration of the course in fire protection engineering at Armour that steps were taken toward the establishment of such a group. Then, in 1922, Professor J. B. Finnegan aided by students of the department took the initial steps toward establish- ment of a fire protection honor society. In 1923 permission was given by officers of the Institute for the formation of the society, and Salamander was officially recognized as the fire protection honor society. Since Armour holds the distinction of being the only school with a recognized course in fire pro- tection engineering. Salamander has had no opportunity to expand nationally. However, its work at Armour has always been worthy of commendation. Membership has been extended to over one hundred honor students of the department. This had added interest to the dpartment and the fraternity, but it has required the efforts of the individual members themselves to increase the interest in Salamander, making the fraternity the goal of members of the fire protection department. In 1925 members of the fraternity established the Deflector, a news letter published annually by the chapter. This paper, filled with chapter and alumni news, has increased the amount of coopera- tion between the alumni and the members of the chapter.

The founders of the fraternity were all members of the mechanical engineering departments of the two schools. They cooperated with faculty heads of the schools in the organization and establishment of the society that would foster the high ideals of the profession, stimulate in- terest in coordinate departmental activities, and promote the welfare of its members. Nine years after the fraternity was founded, a petition was sent to the executive officers of the fraternity by students of Armour's mechanical department. These students, petitioning for a chapter, were aided by mem- bers of the Armour faculty who wished to see a chapter granted Armour. The fraternity granted the petitioning students a chapter, and on December 22, 1924, Delta Chapter of Pi Tau Sigma was officially recognized as the fraternity's chapter at Armour Institute of Technology. Delta chapter became the fifth chapter of the national organization, which has nine branches at pres- ent. These chapters are located throughout the midwest at principal colleges of mechanical engineering. Soon after the fraternity was founded, conven- tions were held each year. These conventions have as delegates members from each chapter who are interested in the affairs of the fraternity. It was at one of the annual conventions that the Condenser was founded. This magazine serves as a forum for the presentation of new topics of interest to members. beita 1924 President OFFICERS Steven Gryglas Henry J. Bodnar Idris Thomas Pi A u 1927 Vice-President .

Establishment of the fraternity came only after officers of the Institute extended permission to the officials of the Armour Tech Musical Clubs to establish an honor, musical society. This new fraternity was the product of members of the musical clubs, four of whom were members of the class of '27, four members of the class of '28, and Professor Emeritus Charles W. Leigh. The founders intended that the organization serve as a means of honoring students who had aided Armour musical work besides stimulating an interest among the students in musical appreciation and interesting them in working for the musical clubs of the school. The charter, granted by Institute officials in January, 1927, permitted musical students to unite for furtherance of the knowledge and appreciation at the Armour Instiute of Technology, and for the continued expansion and prosperity of the organization now known as the Armour Tech Musical Clubs. Not only have students and musical activities of the Institute been benefited by the fraternity, but the organization, being non-departmental, has tended to bring into closer contact students of the various departments of the school who would otherwise have little or no opportunity to meet one another and make friends as they have.

E. F. Wagner. E. Widell The most recent student engineering fraternity to be instituted at Armour is a chapter of a professional, chemical fraternity, Alpha Chi Sigma. This large, national fellowship was founded thirty-six years ago at the University of Wisconsin. The organization expanded rapidly, and it soon had chapters at the more prominent chemical colleges. Likewise, the alumni association which has grown with the student fraternity has expanded into a qrouD of seventeen professional chapters. These chapters are scattered throughout the larger industrial centers of the country, and they aid the student branches in many activities. It is such alumni and professional association that has enabled the fraternity to bring students and professional chemists into official and intimate proximity. Placement bureaus maintained by the alumni groups have aided undergraduates to secure employment in the chemical field and have further enhanced the alumni societies to the undergraduate organiza- tion. The value of affiliation with such a fraternity was apparent to mem- bers of the Flask and Beaker, a club of students of the chemical engineering department of Armour. The group petitioned to become a chapter of the fraternity, and on December 13, 1930, the members of the Flask and Beaker were initiated into Alpha Chi Sigma. Alpha Psi chapter was formed at Armour, and it became the forty-seventh chapter of the society. As a chap- ter of Alpha Chi Sigma it continued to maintain its position as a well formed group.

As in the past, a dance and banquet are the main affairs which serve to fulfill this purpose. The dance held in May of 1937 was attended by all of the honorary men at Armour. Pierson Thai's music furnished the melodies to which the gay couples danced at the Chicago Beach Hotel. The banquet held at the Swedish Club on March 15. 1938 was a very success- ful affair.

Speer The Interfraternity Council was organized in 1927 for the purpose of controlling the rela- tionships between the social fraternities on the Armour Campus. This Council is the succes- sor to the old Interfraternity Rushing Committee. The purpose of the Interfraternity Council has been to bring about a closer relationship be- tween the fraternities and to handle all matters of common interest such as fraternity sports, fraternity sing, rushing, pledging, and scholarship. The Council proper is composed of the presidents of each social fraternity on the campus, thereby giving each fraternity an opportunity to voice its opinion on interfraternity relations. Since the institution of the Interfraternity Council it has been the practice to publish, each year, a Handbook, the purpose of which is to acquaint the entering students with the histories of the various Houses on the campus as well as to inform them of the rushing rules. This has proved of great value, both to the men desiring to pledge a fraternity, and to the fraternities themselves. Meetings are held each month at the various houses, at which pertinent matters are dis- cussed and voted on. Each Spring, since 1934, it has been the custom of the Council to hold a Formal Ball at some downtown hotel, with only Armour Fraternity men attending.

October 19. 1850. From its very beginning it was intended to be a national organization. In 1853 a second chapter was established at Princeton College. Thereafter, the Fraternity expanded somewhat rapidly both in the North and South. The Civil War seriously affected many of the chapters, especially the Southern ones, but after the War, further expansion proceeded until the chapter roll now numbers thirty-nine active chapters. Alpha Epsilon Chapter of the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity was the first fraternity to be established on the Armour Institute campus. Fifteen men in school in the year of 1896 organized the Paragraph Club, their house being located at Thirty-fourth Street and Armour Avenue. The Paragraph Club was limited to fifteen members and after their organization it was their aim to petition a national fraternity. After flourishing for two years as a local organ- ization, this Paragraph Club received its charter as Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma. Alpha Epsilon is the twenty-fourth chapter of the Fraternity which now reaches from coast to coast. [171] A little closer pleose. Shine it up. Bruce. Johnnie and Ann smile prettily.

Stuhr Delta Tau Delta Fraternity was founded at Bethany College, West Virginia, in 1859. The Rainbow Fraternity, which had been organized for a good many years, was absorbed by Delta Tau Delta in 1886. The Rainbow was the first distinctly Southern Fraternity, having at the time of the consolidation, ten chapters. Out of regard for the older order, the official journal of Delta Tau Delta was named the Rainbow. Gamma Beta chapter of Delta Tau Delta grew from a club that was formed by seven members of the class of 1903. The club progressed under the name of the Monolith Club until April 16, 1900, when it was organized and called the Consonant Club. Two of the members of the club were mem- bers of Delta Tau Delta, having come to Armour from Ohio Wesleyan Uni- versity. At this time the club membership numbered sixteen men. A petition for membership was presented at the Western Division Conference of Delta Tau Delta on February 22, 1901. On the eighth of May, 1901, Gamma Beta Chapter of Delta Tau Delta was installed at Armour Institute of Technology. It is the forty-first chapter of a roll which now numbers seventy-four. cfawuna feeta GUcupieA. 1901 ri7sj CHAPTER ROLL SOUTHERN DIVISION PI.................University of Mississippi PHI Washington and Lee University BETA DELTA University of Georgia BETA EPSILON Emory University BETA THETA University of the South BETA IOTA University of Virginia BETA XI Tulane University GAMMA ETA George Washington Univ.

Several sections of the constitution had been construed in the past as placing limitations upon membership, and for many years membership actu- ally was confined to students of engineering and science. In the early twen- ties, however, there had been a gradual conservative trend toward generaliza- tion, and chapters were placed in colleges other than technical schools. The present chapter roll includes thirty-three active chapters located throughout the country. Alpha Gamma chapter of Theta Xi Fraternity was formerly the Omega Lambda local fraternity at Armour Institute. In the year 1921 they desired to become national, and prepared a petition to Theta Xi. This was submitted at the following convention, and in February, 1922, they were granted a charter, thus marking the birth of Alpha Gamma Chapter of Theta Xi.

Two years later in March, 1913, a fraternity was organized at Armour Institute of Technology and chartered as Gamma Chapter of Beta Phi. In the years of 1918 and 1919 Beta Phi as a national organization ceased to exist. However, Gamma chapter retained the name until 1923, when it became a local fraternity at Armour. On November 24, 1923, the local was installed as Gamma Chapter of Phi Pi Phi. The first concrete suggestion towards petition to Phi Pi Phi was made in May of 1923. The formal petition was entered in September, 1923, and on November 17th the chapter was informed that if it was prepared it might be installed as a regular Chapter of Phi Pi Phi on November 24, 1923. In the years since then the Fraternity has grown steadily in both numbers and standing. In 1924 Phi Pi Phi was elected to Junior membership in the Interfraternity Conference and was made a Senior member in 1929. The Chapter roll now consists of twenty Chapters in Colleges and Universities throughout the United States. fostuna 1923 [181] ALPHA........................................................................Northwestern University BETA..............................................................University of Chicago GAMMA Armour Institute of Technology DELTA University of Illinois EPSILON Washburn College ZETA..............................................................University of Wisconsin ETA..................................................................

Its formation was brought about through the action of eight members of that college. Its ideals and high standards were quickly recognized by groups throughout the country, and twenty-eight years after its inception, Sigma Alpha Mu has grown until it now consists of thirty-eight loyal chapters. Sigma Epsilon Chapter, located at Armour, was the twenty-third link of this chain. Prior to February 5, 1922, it was known as the Ohr Club, but having petitioned the national group, and having been favorably received, was initiated on that date. The chapter at Armour is one belonging to the Midwest Province, and is actively associated with the chapters at Illinois, Purdue, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Minnesota.

Shapiro Leo Stool man HISTORY In the last months of the year 1918, several students at Armour Institute of Technology became innoculated with the true spirit of college fraternalism and laid plans for a permanent organization. On the 27th day of August. 1919. Rho Delta Rho Fraternity was chartered in the State of Illinois and a formal petition for recognition as a local fraternity was prepared. The petition was accepted, and the fraternity became estab- lished on the campus in February, 1920, with an initial membership of ten students. The membership has steadily increased, there being more than twice as many active members at present. The bonds of friendship and loyalty which were cherished by our founders is evidence by our closely united alumni chapter. The alumni chapter, which meets regularly once a month, has enrolled a good majority of the Armour Rho Delta graduates, and is justly proud of its record of progress, friendship, loyalty, and co-operation.

Triangle Fraternity was founded at the University of Illinois by a group of Civil Engineers on April 15. 1907. The name of Triangle was particularly appropriate to the Fraternity because of the importance of this figure in engineering work. A chapter of Triangle was installed at Purdue in 1909, and in 1910 the first National Convention was held at the chapter house at Illinois. Since the beginning of the fraternity in 1907, there have been many changes in the chapter roll. There are at present fourteen chapters on the roll, and plans are being made to increase this number as soon as suitable schools can be found. The last item is quite important in that Triangle Fraternity holds the rather unique position of a social fraternity whose mem- bership is drawn entirely from students of courses leading to degrees in engi- neering. The Armour chapter of Triangle Fraternity originated in a local fraternity known as Scroll and Triangle, which was the outgrowth of an idea possessed by six Armour students who likewise felt the need of an organized group having similar ideals of fellowship. Scroll and Triangle was recognized as a local fraternity in 1922, and the Armour Chapter of Triangle recognized in 1923, when it was granted its charter on May 26.

All were members of the time honored College of Charleston, the oldest of municipal colleges. At this meeting Pi Kappa Phi was created. From this inception the new national fraternity spread rapidly through all parts of the United States. It has at present a membership of forty chapters in every type of college and university in the country. Pi Kappa Phi came into being at Armour Institute of Technology with the absorption of the national Beta Psi Fraternity. Beta Psi was a strong fra- ternity on the Armour campus for eleven years, and after four months of study it was disclosed that the ideals and principles of Pi Kappa Phi were similar to those of Beta Psi. Thus on May 5, 1935, Beta Chapter of Beta Psi was fully installed as Alpha Phi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. Alpha PUi GUapi i 1935 f!91] The Faculty Club THE FACULTY CLUB OFFICERS Henry L.

Honorary President Secretary Treasurer Honorary President ★ The Armour Faculty Club is indeed all that the name might imply. Being an enticing rendezvous for short periods of relaxation, it serves as a convenient meeting place for its members; it is an oasis amid the pressing duties that surround all members of the faculty. The rooms of the Faculty Club form the gay spot at Armour. Recreational facilities are offered in especially furnished chambers which are always filled with jostling but jovial members of the faculty. The spirit of friendly rivalry is always in evidence around the game tables. So absorbed do members become while engaged in playing games that they often forget their class schedules and treat students to unannounced vacations. While some are intent upon winning contract bridge games, other members are showing their skill at billiards. Amid the able coaching offered by interested spectators, billiard enthusiasts spend many hours practicing and competing with fellow members. The veteran coach, R. V. P., assists in explaining just how a play should be executed, but occasionally a novice will disregard all advice and play as he believes. Then the ivories are in danger of leav- ing the field of action to continue their travel upon the floor. Not content to remain in their own, prescribed location the club members go forth to seek additional entertainment. At least once a year they invade the Faculty Ladies' Club. There they forget the card games and billiards, and the reading and discussion of their own domain, and pose as Beau Brummels to the awe stricken ladies. Again they may stage a stag party such as is held annually in November. There, after participating in a turkey dinner and in song, the members revel to the stirring tunes of popular song hits, proving that faculty members are just as light hearted as the students who fill the class- rooms at Armour.

CE '37 The annual spring banquet of the Armour Alumni Association was held in June of 1937. The dinner featured an address by Dr. Glenn Frank, former president of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. In addition Mr. James C. Cunningham, chairman of the Board of Trus- tees of the Institute, Dr. Willard Hotchkiss, former president of Armour, and Dean H. T. Heald gave interesting and informative talks concerning the developments that had been wrought at Armour. The musical organizations of the school rendered an excellent musical program that was enthusiastically received by the three hundred graduates attending. John J. Schommer, president of the Alumni Association, presided as toastmaster at the dinner and guided the business meeting that followed. Although only one formal meeting of the Association is held annually, the organiza- tion leads an aggressive policy under the capable leadership of its officers. During the past year they formulated plans for the establishment of a permanent alumni secretary. This officer will have complete charge of all records and general operations of the Alumni Association. He will also aid in the collection of dues and funds from members of the asso- ciation. The Armour Alumni Loan Fund has been used by students financially distressed during the past year. This fund is maintained by the money that is received through the sale of life membership certificates in the Alumni Association, and it has been a great help to those who would be unable to complete their education at Armour. A committee en- gaged in developing a plan whereby alumni would present gifts annually to the Institute. These gifts would be used to carry out some project that was deemed necessary to both students and Institute. Complete plans have also been made for the spring banquet for the ensuing year. This banquet will be held in the Medinah Club early in June. Then it is hoped that graduates of the current class will begin an association with the Alumni that will encourage officers and members of the organization to strive for greater benefits. Annual Alumni Banquet of 1937 AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS President Secretary OFFICERS . Idris Thomas Treasurer . Harold B. Nicholas Calvin K. Nauman FacuJfyAdvisorProfessor Henry L. Nachman The Armour Student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers traces its origin to a mechanical society that was founded at the Institute in 1905. At that time senior students in the mechanical department organized the Senior Mechanical Society. Such an organization had been proposed by students in the department for several years, but the senior class of 1905 was the first class to take actual steps towards its formation. They founded the society to obtain student membership in the American Society of Me- chanical Engineers, to maintain an organization for the mechanical engineering students at the Institute, and to gather for the discussion of engineering subjects. Membership in the Society was at first divided into two groups. Active membership was confined to senior mechanical students while all men who had completed the first semester of the Junior Mechanical course were eligible for associate membership. The Society expanded and in 1908 it acquired quarters in Chapin Hall. There regular meetings were held and discussions and student presentations were frequently heard. Officers in the organization petitioned the national organization of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for member- ship after it became apparent that the Society was destined to continue. In 1910 a student charter was granted the Society, and this charter has been held continuously. The present chapter of the national organization is active in all engineering affairs. Members of the student branch are eligible to receive the Society's monthly magazine, and they are recognized by the national organization as junior members. Each year a student convention is held, and this meeting is made possible by the students themselves. New success in the way of student participation in the activities of the student branch was realized this year due to the added stress laid upon the importance of public speaking experience for student engineers. Subjects presented by the students were on material gathered through personal research, reading and experience. It was hoped that through this means, practical illustrations of the application of class room work could be demon- strated. Outside speakers and occasional moving pictures were presented during the year and these were carefully chosen with a view to bringing before the organization the outstanding men and material on subjects which would prove both valuable and interesting to the en- tire membership. This year the chapter had an exceptional increase in membership. A new high was set for the Armour branch, and this proved to be a concrete example of the growth of in- terest in the organization both by the upper and lower classmen. Top Row: Falk. Gral.

Kiefer Richard M. Ansel In 1903 the Armour Branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers was or- ganized with the intentions of a closer union among students in the department of Electrical Engineering, and an acquaintanceship of this group with the men practicing the profes- sion. This year the branch has completed a series of student talks, professional talks, and social functions aimed at the original purpose of the society. At the first meeting of the academic year Mr. P. L. Warren of the Chicago section spoke on Reasons for Membership in the A.I.E.E. and the sophomore, junior, and senior classes vigorously responded to his call. Soon afterwards a social committee, papers committee, program committee, and inspection trips committee were appointed, and it was decided at a regular meeting that emphasis would be placed on the presentation of student papers. In response to the large interest shown by the branch for communication engineering Mr. Z. J. Atlee of the General Electric X-Ray Corporation was chosen to speak on the subject. High Voltage Vacuum Tube Rectifiers and Circuits. In the late fall a smoker was held at which the main attraction proved to be Professor Richardson's moving pictures of his European vacation. The earlier part of the evening was spent in a Monte Carlo party, and the gathering disbanded after sandwiches, coffee, and ice cream. The first two student talks were given by R. E. Worcester and E. A. Brown. The former had Modern Highway Lighting as his topic while Mr. Brown spoke on the Sperry Rail Detector. At the next meeting of the group Mr. K. W. Miller of the Commonwealth Edison Company spoke on Research in Public Utilities. Continuing the policy of having students on the program, Mr. G. M. Ives, Jr., gave an interesting discussion on Problems in Tele- vision. Top Row: Skoltcr. Anderson. G.. Anderson. H.. Rosenthal, Kotrba. McCormack. Brown. Hazelton. Hammond. Hebenstrcit. Hcidman.

April 6 — Joint meeting of Armour with the Chicago section, and the student branches of Lewis Institute and Northwestern Uni- versity. One of the important occasions of the year was an inspection trip to the plant of the Caterpillar Tractor Company in Peoria, Illinois. A full day was spent going through the Diesel tractor plant. The operations were followed from the place where the raw materials went into the cupolas, through the various steps of construction and assembling, and finally to the shipping room where the tractors are crated for shipment to all parts of the world. Of special interest to the members were the engineering control and test laboratories of the plant. Each of the thirty-five students who attended left with the feeling of having spent the day in a thoroughly worthwhile manner. Considerable planning and activity resulted in a joint meeting of the Chicago section with the student branches of Armour, Lewis, and Northwestern. Armour acted as host and after the dinner in the faculty grill the evening was spent with student talks, and visits to our laboratories, where experiments were demonstrated. This helped to repay our obligation to Lewis Institute after their invitation to us two years ago to see them in action. Another important event was attendance at a Great Lakes district convention of the A. I. E. E. This meeting was held just for student members within the district at the Uni- versity of Illinois on April 22nd and 23rd. The Armour branch was represented by its coun- selor, the chairman for next year and other members. The place and time were chosen so that delegates from other schools could visit the electrical show put on by the department of electrical engineering at the University of Illinois. The papers presented at this meeting were all written and read by student members of branches in the Great Lakes district. This convention illustrated the close ties that exist among student branches, local sec- tions, districts and headquarters of the A. I. E. E. Partly by such conventions is the student member made to feel that he is a part of a national organization that is devoting its effort to things in which he is interested. 097} WESTERN SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS OFFICERS President................................ Vice-President........................... Secretary................................ Treasurer............................ Student Representative .... Faculty Advisor......................... William F. Schlax Stanley J. Johnson Max Zar Eugene J. Hanson Thomas L. Speer Professor J. C. Penn The first organization of the Civil Engineering Department was the Armour Civil Engi- neering Society. This group functioned in an efficient manner and served its purpose until 1919. At that time the members of the Armour Civil Engineering Society felt that the ad- vantages of belonging to a national organization made it necessary to become affiliated with the Western Society of Engineers. Accordingly, the members of the A.C.E.S. organized the Armour Branch of the Western Society of Engineers in the fall of 1919, automatically disorganizing the former group. At first membership was restricted to students in the Civil Engineering Department. However, in order to bring the group in line with the aims of the parent society, the consti- tution was later altered to admit to membership students of all departments at the Institute. In 1935 it was decided to extend the benefits of the organization to lowerclassmen as well as upperclassmen. The change allowed Sophomores as well as Juniors and Seniors to be included on the roll and as result a majority of the Sophomore Civil Engineering class are members. The W.S.E. holds bi-weekly meetings which prove to be of prime interest to all members of the organization. The meetings generally consist of talks by qualified speakers from the engineering profession. Movies sometimes supplement the talks and are of great help in visualizing the subject up for discussion. Top Row: Jaedtke. Bugielski. Lykowski. Kelly. Hanson. Neubauer. Mahler. Way, Brinkerhott.

The program for the current year was given a fine start with the presentation of movies of Camp Armour, a camp for Civils where they obtain field experience during the summer. The pictures covered the summers of 1936 and 1937, depicting the activities of the Civils educational and otherwise. These pictures were taken and shown by Professor Spears who accompanied the pictures with a running commentary. The first speaker to be presented to the W.S.E. was Dr. T. C. Poulter, the well known Ant- arctic explorer and Chief Scientist on Admiral Byrd's expedition to the South Pole. His topic was Meteors as Viewed at the South Pole . His talk was the first of many interesting and educational meetings with men whose experiences in the engineering field made interesting subjects. The subjects were all varied and different in topic so that they did not become monotonous and commonplace. The one purely social affair of the W.S.E. was the Monte Carlo Smoker. This event is held annually and affords the students a chance to become well acquainted with each other and their professors while indulging in refreshments and card playing. Nearly perfect at- tendance was enjoyed among the student members while eleven members of the faculty were present. It was with a sigh of regret that those attending called a halt to the eve- ning's festivities as the refreshments were served. ★ [199] AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS Chairman Secretary . Treasurer Assistant Treasurer Faculty Counsellor OFFICERS .......................William R. Marshall ..........................Paul J. Peltier ........................Joseph A. Kubik ........................Roland B. Boertitz Professor Harry McCormack In June. 1921, the professional chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers suggested that the educational program of the organization be extended to the students en- rolled in courses in chemical engineering throughout the country. This suggestion was favorably acted upon. In 1923 the first chapter was established at the University of Mich- igan and the second at Armour Institute of Technology. Since that time the Armour chap- ter has grown to be a large organization, the present membership consisting of over forty seniors and thirty juniors. The growth of this branch is largely due to the work of Pro- fessor Harry McCormack who is the counsellor of the group. In an effort to stimulate in- terest in the student branch, the chapter awards a Handbook of Physics and Chemistry each year to the sophomore in Chemical Engineering who led his class scholastically during the freshman year. Beta Chapter, the Armour branch of the organization, takes pride in being one of the first student chapters of the national society. In addition Beta Chapter is actively engaged working at the school where chemical engineering laboratory work orig- inated. Throughout the winter semester the Chapter presented programs designed especially to increase participation of the student members in its activities. The tenor of this plan was sounded by Professor McCormack at the first meeting of the year. This meeting also served another purpose. Because of the increasing number of freshmen entering the college with the idea of studying chemical engineering, officers of the chapter felt that the chapter would be benefited materially by extending membership to these entering students. Accordingly plans were made to present an outline of the work to those students who were interested in chemical engineering. At the following meeting held two weeks later the chapter had an opportunity to hear Dr. R. C. Kintner, who had recently been appointed to the faculty of Armour. Dr. Kintner spoke upon the Production of Super-Phosphates to an interested group of attending students and faculty members of the school's chemical department. Top Row: Charlton. Miller. Wagner.

The following meeting was not scheduled for another month, and members decided that a social event would be in order. As a result a Monte Carlo Smoker was held at one of the fraternity houses. There, nearly sixty members attended the event, which proved to be most popular. The conclusion of a short business meeting left the evening to card play- ing and refreshments. The national meeting of student chapters of the American Institute of Chemical Engi- neers was held shortly after the middle of November. Eleven representatives were sent to this meeting by Beta Chapter. The convention was held in St. Louis, and, in addition to enjoying the trip and the meeting, the representatives were given an opportunity to meet members from other student chapters and to attend joint inspection trips. The major event of the winter semester was held on December 8th, when Beta Chapter and the Chicago Section Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineering met for the annual joint meeting of the chapters. The program of this event was fourfold: at 6:00 P. M. a reception was held in the Faculty Club; dinner was served at 6:30 P. M.; at 7:45 P. M. those in attendance again united when six student papers were presented; and follow- ing these presentations the entire group adjourned to inspect the laboratories of the chem- ical engineering department of the Institute. The student papers that were presented at this joint meeting consisted of a discussion of High Frequency Conduction Furnaces by S. Osri; Gas Absorption by N. Gerber; CondensingOrganic Vapors by T. M. Gilkison; Heat Transfer Coefficients by B. Gamson; Cross-Tube Evaporator by A. Schreiber; and Binary Liquid Systems by R. Levy. These talks were cf interest to the entire group, while the effort those who spoke had shown in the preparation of the talks pleased the officers of the student chapter who had encouraged student participation in the presentation of talks to the chapter. The last meeting of the semester featured a motion picture entitled The Symphony of Steel . This gathering proved to be of interest, and it attracted a large number of chem- ical students. The success of this meeting prompted a similar presentation for the first meet- ing of the spring semester, when a sound picture was shown which followed the processes in current use in the manufacture of bakelite. f20i J FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEERING SOCIETY President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisor OFFICERS .....................Richard F. Beardsley Edward R. Swanson .........................Willis G. Labes ..........................Harry F. Perlet Professor Joseph B. Finnegan Armour offered its first course in Fire Protection Engineering in 1903. Attendance in the new course was not very large, however; those in the course realized the benefit that a student engineering society would be to students enrolled in the fire protection course. With the aid of several members of the faculty who were likewise interested in the sug- gested organization, students in the departmsnt founded the Fire Protection Engineering Society on November 11, 1913. Originally the society served both as a social and student engineering organization. However, it soon devoted its entire program to student engineer- ing affairs. It aimed to provide speakers at the regular meetings who were active in pro- fessional affairs. Ranking engineers from Chicago and faculty members of the Institute were obtained to speak at meetings of the organization. The society became a popular stu- dent group, and its membership grew rapidly. During the past year the officers of the society have done remarkably well attempting to provide interesting and educational meetings and discussions that will prove to be of ben- efit to members of the organization. In addition, the officers have fostered a spirit of fellow- ship and good will among the members. The speakers that were obtained represented vari- ous fields of fire protection engineering and fire protection insurance practice. These speak- ers described phases of engineering practice that were unfamiliar to many of the student members, and in addition gave helpful talks describing the considerations and experience necessary in the various phases of fire protection work. Not only were the student officers successful in providing educational meetings, but they secured improvements in the class- room that is used for the regular meetings of the group. Facilities were provided permitting the projection of moving pictures that were previously shown only after much trouble and delay. Top Row: Parker. Slavin. Smith, Eggcrs. Hollman. Jacobson.

February 25 — Automatic Sprinklers, a movie by Rockwood Sprinkler Company. March 11— Asbestos-Cement Piping Sys- tems, a movie presented by Johns Man- ville Corporation. The first speaker obtained for a student meeting was Mr. J. B. Taylor. Mr. Taylor, a member of the Western Actuarial Bureau, gave an interesting lecture concerning fire pro- tection work in general. He stressed the human side of all insurance work, saying that with- out an understanding of human nature an engineer cannot successfully contact and con- vince a client even though the engineer may be an expert in his profession. The second speaker of the year was Mr. T. A. Flemming of the National Fire Protection Association. Mr. Flemming, a member of the field staff of the association, gave a highly interesting talk upon field construction and air conditioning. The talk was centered around the hazard produced by quickly heating air to high temperatures and transferring it rapidly through the medium of air conditioning ducts and piping. On December the 3rd the society saw moving pictures that were taken of forest fires and dust explosions. This group of films was sent to the society through the courtesy of the United States Department of Agriculture. The pictures showed many phases of the practical work required in detecting and extin- guishing forest fires. In addition the experimental work that is being carried on in an attempt to control dust explosions and explosive dusts was shown in detail. Many of the large elevator fires that were caused by dust explosions of grain were shown with the rec- ommendations for the fire protection necessary to prevent such fires. A second series of moving pictures was shown on December 17th. These pictures were concerned with the developments and program of the Underwriters Laboratories. They also showed the variety of tests that are performed in the Laboratories in determining the safety of products and fixtures of all sorts. The first meeting of the new year was held January 14th, when Mr. R. K. Hill of the Springfield Fire and Marine Insurance Company gave an illuminating lecture on sprinklered risk underwriting. He spoke of the necessity for fire protection engineers to understand the principles underlying the amount of insurance which can be safely carried on a risk. In addition he placed emphasis upon the need for care in carrying a line of sprinkler leakage insurance. One case was cited where a crack in a pipe elbow caused a serious leakage loss. The lecture was concluded with a discussion of several other types of risks that have a need for fire protection consideration. These risks were enumerated as risks of low water pres- sure, predominance of hazardous occupancies, an insufficient number of factory and plant watchmen, and facilities that provided an insufficient volume of water. Mr. H. F. Thie- meyer of the Insurance Company of North America spoke upon the report manual for the senior field inspection class. He illustrated how the manual gives uniformity to reports con- cerning protected risks. On February 25th movies were shown through the courtesy of the Rockwood Sprinkler Company entitled Automatic Sprinklers. These pictures showed the operation of sprinklers under fire conditions. At the following meeting a film, Asbestos- Cement Piping Systems, was sent by the Johns Manville Corporation. Although the film was technical, it was interesting, being watched closely by all who attended the meeting. The annual honor award to the honor fire protection engineering student in the sopho- more class was given to Thomas Hunter. Th-s student was awarded the Crosby-Fiske-For- ster Handbook of Fire Protection by Landrith B. Parker, president of Salamander, honorary fire protection fraternity, in recognition of his scholastic achievements during his freshman year at the Institute. The award was made at the annual smoker of the society. r203] ARMOUR ARCHITECTURAL SOCIETY OFFICERS Mossier .... William A. Wagner Sous-Massier . . . George A. Scott In 1924 the students of the Armour Architectural School conceived the idea of organiz- ing the Armour Architectural Society. Their purpose in organizing this society was to create a spirit of friendliness that could not possibly have been fostered solely in the academic con- nections between the students, and also to present before the student body lectures of prac- tical interest. During the 1937-1938 school year the aims of the society have been wonderfully exe- cuted under the able leadership of the officers of the Junior Class. The initiation of the Freshmen into the society was a ceremony filled with hilarious hap- penings. Although the initiation is usually held during Junior Week, it was decided by the Junior Class members in the society after due deliberation and consultation with the faculty that it would be better to set a date in the latter part of October. On the balmy afternoon of the initiation the Freshmen gathered in front of the Art Institute with their traditional'' sketch problems and received a very constructive and beneficial criticism by a learned and well read Sophomore. This was their first real taste of life in the society. Following this introduction the Freshmen were then escorted to Grant Park, where they entertained the society members. At the conclusion of this program the Freshmen made an intensive tour of the loop under the watchful guidance of the older members. Soap box talks, songs and world-renowned jokes, gags, and what-have-you predominated en route. A very compre- hensive sketch of the Burnham Park Loggia was also drawn by each member of the Fresh- man class while on this tour, and it was submitted to the upper classmen for their approval and for their criticism. Top Row: How©. Urbain. Richardson. Schader. Firant. Fox. Street. Scherer, Goldsmith. Second Row: Rea. Danforth. Hutton. Meister. Mandel. Lindahl. Erickson. Horton. Scott. Third Row: Pasiuk. Dodge. Saucrmann. Blume. Irbe. Burnham. Mirotsnic. Alschuler. Jacobs. Fourth Row: Mikolajczyk. Wagn©r. Moy. Bouland. Erickson, Prather. Bradt. Moseley. Nielsen. Cerovski. Following the initiation a smoker was given in the society's club rooms at the Art Insti- tute. At this function lectures were given onarchitecture and on education in general by the instructors from the school, namely, Dean Heald, Mr. Loebel, Mr. Dornbusch, Mr. Mc- Caughey, Mr. Mell, Mr. Suter, and Mr. Harper. At the end of this very interesting group of talks refreshments were served which were enjoyed by everyone. The musical talent of some of the members was used to an advantage, and this entertainment completed the first architectural smoker of the year. The Armour Architectural Society has its own form of government. Each class has two representatives with the exception of the Senior Class. The Junior Class elects a Massier and a Sous-Massier who act as president and treasurer respectively of the entire organiza- tion. The Sophomore and Freshman classes elect officers who have similar titles who act as aids to the officers of the society. The duties of the Sophomore representatives are to see that the Freshmen are duly initiated and enrolled in the organization. Also, with the aid of the Freshmen, they aid the Juniors in the promotion of the now famous Arx dances. The function of the Senior class is to act in an advisory capacity to the aforementioned board of directors. One of the most important and far-reaching activities of the society is the presentation of the annual Architects Ball. This year this dance was known as the Carrosel. and it was given in the appropriate surroundings of the Electric Club in the Civic Opera Building. The music was supplied by the rhythm master. Bob Phillips, and his smooth, flowing orchestra. A feature of the evening was the innumerable specialty numbers offered by members of the orchestra. The setting proved to be an ideal one, offering a panorama of the city after dark as a view. The club was high, and left nothing to the imagination of the guests, while the low ceiling of the ballroom seemed to provide an atmosphere of warmth and friendliness. A spacious lounge provided an ideal spot for relaxation between dances and during the intermissions. Fun and merrymaking reigned supreme, with the crowd enjoying that new and exotic dance, the “Big Apple. An architectural smoker was held in the club-like atmosphere of the Lawson YMCA, the first social event held by the society during the second semester of the school year. There the society entertained as its guests members of the school faculty and some of the more prominent architects in the city. The impromptu speeches given by these men were most beneficial and instructive to the members of the society who attended. The party became very informal with the playing of numerous games, such as Monte Carlo and other games of chance. The entertainment was provided by the talented members of the society. The activities of the evening were ended when delicious refreshments were served. The members of the society are now making plans for the annual banquet to be given in honor of the graduating seniors. This will be held shortly after the examinations, in June. This banquet is always attended by a large number of the alumni of the society, who take an active interest in the affairs of the organization, and it usually includes a talk by one of the successful alumni members of the society. The society has gone far toward reaching its goal during the past year. The student officers of the past year are to be congratulated upon their splendid fullfilment of their diffi- cult task, and their attainments will be a goal f: r the following year: Top Row: Dost. Pachay. Matthews. Rosenthal. Bullen. Dryer, Goluska, Galandak. Second Row: McDaniel. Ratio. Labes. Dempsey. Morris. Mashinter. Peltier. Miller. ARMOUR TECH RIFLE CLUB At the beginning of the 1935 term at Armour, the rifle club consisted of little more than the residue of a group of riflemen, most of whom had gradu- ated the preceding year. With this as a nucleus, a new club with a new constitution and set of by-laws was organized. The incoming marksmen from the class of '39 gave added impetus to a rapidly grow- ing campus activity, which has since become the hobby of one of the largest groups in the institu- tion. Increased membership, due to added enthusiasm for target practice, has necessitated the addition of a new range, thus doubling the number of firing points. The old quarters of the club have also been rehabilitated. The club has carried on its activities this past year under the guidance of its officers: W. Mash- inter, President; A. J. Dempsey, Captain; W. G. Labes, Manager; P. Peltier, Range Officer; and F. Neubauer, Treasurer. The officers are chosen by a majority vote of the club from active members in good standing. Election of officers takes place each year on the last Friday in May. Throughout a season the rifle team engages in many matches with colleges and universities located in various parts of the United States. Most of these matches are shot as postals. In this type of match each of the competing teams shoots its reg- istered targets under the guidance of its chief officer during the week previously agreed upon by the com- petitors. On the last day of the week of the postal match both teams exchange scores by mail. Another very popular type of match is known as a shoulder-to-shoulder match. Both teams agree upon the range in which to fire the match and meet at the appointed time. In the past shoulder-to- shoulder matches have always been fired on the opponent's range. The rifle team hopes to be able to hold matches on its own range in the very near future. The successful team in a match is usually based upon the five or ten high total scores produced by firing a designated number of shots at a record target in each of four positions—prone, sitting, kneel- ing, and standing. Sometimes the sitting position is omitted. These positions must be fired according to mutually understood regulations. The record tar- get is composed of five bulls, each bull containing six scoring rings which are given a value of 5. 6, 7, 8, 9. and 10, respectively. Each shot fired is given the value of the ring that it cuts or is tangent to as indicated by a standard gauge. The rifle team is chosen by the captain from the most experienced and able men in the club as in- dicated by practice scores and previous matches. This year the team members are: Mashinter, Labes, Dempsey, McDaniels, Ratto, Morris, Galandak, Miller, Bjornstad, Fitch, and Dryer. These men have made a good showing and have won a fair number of matches. The opposing teams engaged in either postal or shoulder-to-shoulder matches are as fol- lows: Universities of Chicago, Indiana, Akron, Iowa, Ohio State University, Northwestern Naval College, Missouri School of Mines, and Wheaton College. Considering the new material introduced into the club this year, and the added facilities, the Armour Tech Rifle Club looks forward to a further increase in interest and better marksmanship in this art of shooting the bull. [206] CAMPUS CLUB Frank Hanneman R. Tullgren Prof. Mangold Prof. Harris Prof. Fulghum President Executive Secretary Faculty Advisor Faculty Advisor Faculty Advisor The Armour Tech Campus Club was founded in 1927 to provide a social and recreation center for students of Armour. It provides a place where stu- dents can get together and discuss their common problems of life and school. The Campus Club is primarily an organization of social concern, giving the student a place to relax, study and to enjoy the companionship of his fellow students. Having these points in mind, the Campus Club holds several smokers each year, the first gen- erally being an initiation smoker, while the last one of the year is a Senior Farewell party. During the course of the year, an Alumni smoker is given along with outside affair, such as a roller-skating party or a show. The Club rooms are located on the third floor of Chapin Hall, first entrance. This past year the school went to a great expense to furnish the Club with new rooms, which are indeed a pleasure to occupy. There are five rooms, large and well lighted, all newly decorated in light colors, making ideal rooms for work and play. The rooms are open each day of the week dur- ing school hours. All students. Freshmen to Sen- iors, are invited to come up at any time and inspect the room. The Club is very conveniently situated to school and can be easily reached in that odd minute. All students of Armour are eligible to join and new students are welcome. CAMERA CLUB Interest in the art and science of photography is the foundation upon which the Institute's camera club has been built. The activities of about twenty- five enthusiastic followers of Weston, Steiglitz, and those who have made photography what it is today, center around the club's rooms in Chapin Hall. The club's facilities include at present, two dark rooms, a studio, a meeting room, and a committee room. Equipment in the dark rooms enables members to develop, print, enlarge, copy retouch, mount and. in effect, to produce photographs by almost any of the processes known to amateur photographers today, with the exception of color photography, which is a comparatively new field. The club's studio equip- ment is at present complete enough to do general photographic work with several camera and studio lights at the club's disposal. The future, however, will see a better equipped studio with spot and por- trait lighting and changeable backgrounds. The club's activities in the future will include lectures, demonstrations, field trips, contests, fur- nishing pictures for the Institute publications and in general to furnish an outlet for stored-up photo- graphic energy among the students and faculty of the school. In the past three years the club has grown from a small but enthusiastic group to a large and closely- knit organization with well defined purposes. Be- cause of limited facilities of the club, the member- ship must be restricted to a rather small number. Therefore, students who are interested in the Camera Club should make application to the organization immediately. From past indications, the Camera Club should continue growing and prospering in- definitely. Some day there may be on the Armour campus one of the finest photography studios in the city.

Algird Rulis............................ Robert Wnukowski.................... Albert L. Simandi................... Harold A. Lynette, II ... Leo Faitelson....................... President Executive Vice-President Vice-President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Armour Institute of Technology's newest organi- zation is now a reality and the Evening Division Student Association, made up of Night Hawks. as its members are already called, promises to be- come a motivating force in school activities. The Association has already progressed to the point where it has drafted and ratified a Consti- tution and has planned a number of events for the pleasure and entertainment of the Night Hawks. The Constitution has been hand-lettered on parch- ment paper and will be framed and hung in the school where all can see it. It is hoped that some day this document may be hung in a fitting club- room of the Association. The driving purpose behind the Association can best be expressed by repeating the Preamble to the Constitution and the Purposes as stated in this docu- ment: We, the Evening Division Students of Armour Institute of Armour Institute of Technology, in order to form a more perfect association and enjoy greater benefits, do ordain and establish this Association. The purpose of the organization is: 1. To effect a working cooperation among Eve- ning Division students. 2. To cooperate with the Institute to promote its growth and broaden the scope of its benefits. 3. To effect an avenue for enjoyment of social relations, not possible in class-room association. 4. To sponsor meetings to which well known speakers will be invited to talk on subjects of mutual interest. 5. To effect a means whereby students of the Evening Division may meet to form small groups interested in specific subjects.
