PRESENTED BY THE STUDENTS OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS Jacobson Rice r L L L D A N J A COBS O N . JUtok-sin-jcJuesl i) '-' � ■ NORMAN RICE BuAi+teAA. Manacje i A record has been set here at Armour during the school year of 1938-39. It has been a year filled with achievement and material devel- opment as far as students, faculty, and administration of Armour Institute are concerned. We have continued to carry out the established high principles of engineering education, but we have also tried to establish new student ideals and higher school standards. The new Student Union is the realization of innumerable dreams and plans born years before the final work was started. Completed this year, it is typical of the pro- ENGINEERING ARCHITECTURE gressive spirit which always exists about Armour. Advancements have been made in research, improvements have been made in the curriculum, and the student enrollment has been greater than ever before. The staff of the CYCLE of '39 has attempted to assemble a permanent record of the achievements which have been made this year. It is hoped that this pictorial and editorial description of the year's events and activities will find a preferred place in the library of each and every TECHAWK. JUNE 8. 1939 ... A date that will linger with the Class of 1939 for years to come. It was on that day that one hundred and fifty sons of Armour reached a long anticipated finale of four years of study. The forty-third annual commencement was held at the Museum of Science and Industry in Jackson Park, Chicago. This famous building has been one of Chicago's most beautiful examples of fine architecture since the Exposition of 1893, and because it now represents the progressive spirit of modern industry and science, it was deemed proper that the senior class should hold its commencement exercises there. Graduation day has often been looked upon as a day of parting for old classmates and pals, but we, as engineers, may consider it as merely a transition point which we may jump over together. Engineering is a profession which unifies the men who participate in its development. The many organizations and activities which the student engineer enters while at college continue to seek his interest after he has begun to establish himself in the engineering world. As graduates of Armour Institute of Technology, many of us will find employment here in the city of our curricular training. Others will go to stations throughout the country, and a few will find that their work leads them to foreign lands. Close together or far apart, we need not allow our alliance to weaken in the slightest degree. The Armour Alumni Association, the Armour Engineer and Alumnus, and the annual CYCLE will each contribute a part to strengthen the ties which have been made during these four years, but each organization needs the support of those who wish to derive the benefits of continued union. Let us all remember that our connection to Armour Tech has only begun, and that our alma mater can continue to help us in obtaining steady advancement. Don’t forget Armour Tech and CHICAGO! Scholar, poet, humanist, teacher, aviator, journalist, author, and farmer, Walter Hendricks exemplifies that spirit of diversified and crea- tive activity that has marked superior men. A member of the Institute faculty for seventeen years, now chairman of the Department of Languages and Literature, Professor Hendricks has displayed tremendous energy in his thorough participation in the academic and extra-curricular life of Armour. A philosopher and idealist whose greatest interest is life as found in his fellow men, Professor Hendricks has earned the gratitude and respect of the men of Armour who have contacted him within the classroom and off campus. Optimistic and good natured, he fills his lectures and his writings with a spirit of liberality and truth. His emphasis on the arts and their importance in living is reflected in his own philosophy of life which sees good in everything as evidenced in his keen interest of each student and his individual problem. One of his principal responsibilities at Armour is the directorship of the student and Institute publications, including the Cycle, Armour Tech News, and Engineer. He has devoted considerable time and effort toward the editorial administration of these representative publications. Their repeated excellence and originality are in large part due to his inspiring leadership. Each semester he somehow finds time to teach a course in social philosophy, poetry, or drama at the request of interested students. This is in addition to his regular program of instruction. His summers are spent on his six hundred acre Vermont farm with his family, where he turns to exhaustive reading and the agrarian life. In recognition of the inestimable services which Professor Walter Hendricks has rendered to the Institute and to his fellow men. this publication is dedicated. « 9 • The recent incorporation of a number of additional activities at Armour, with the enlargement of the physical plant, has given Tech a new spirit. Personifying that spirit is her youthful and vigorous President, Henry Townley Heald. Not yet thirty-five, President Heald is already a recognized leader in the field of engineering education in the United States. President Heald has been associated with Armour since 1927 when he made appearance on campus as Associate Professor in the department of Civil Engineering. In '33 he was named Dean of Freshmen, and in the following year was given the difficult but interesting position of Dean of the Undergraduate College. He has been president of the Institute since the spring of 1938. The rapid advancement of President Heald at Armour is accreditable to his energy and enthusiasm, guided by a remarkable friendliness and likeable personality. His election to presidency of the Institute was an honor and a benefit to the school and the man, but it was a regretful undergraduate body that saw a dean who had gained the trust and confidence of every student moved to a position where it was impossible for him to carry on the contact enjoyed previously. A man of few words but intensive activity, President Heald is engaged in carrying on the extensive expansion program at Armour. A college president in every sense of the word, Tech is proud of her Henry Townley Heald, and sees under his capable leadership a growing institution with an ever broadening view on education. • 12 • 14 Deans may be viewed with alarm and derision in most colleges the country over, but at Armour it is a definite exception. There isn't a more genial, even-tempered, likeable and capable dean than Dr. Charles Austin Tibbals. Patient and tolerant, ambitious and industrious, Dean Tibbals opens his office to all, devoting his full time and energies to the solution of problems confronting the student and the faculty as well. His un- flinching fairness, combined with a frankness in search of truth, inspires confidence and trust which is well founded. Coming to Tech in her infancy. Dr. Tibbals has grown with her from rank of instructor in chemistry to Dean of the Undergraduate College. His is the highly interesting but extremely demanding task of being dad to a thousand young men. To him they turn for succor and advice, in him they find aid and counsel. His office to the left of the main entrance is patronized by all, especially those in trouble. His inexhaustive supply of patience and tolerance, born from an understanding of the difficulties common to college men, has admirably fitted him to the job of mediator and advisor. The activities of the dean being more than enough for several men, Dr. Tibbals was forced to discontinue his famous freshman chemistry lecture now known only to the upperclassmen. However, he still teaches one of his early courses in the chemical engineering curriculum. The merry twinkle in his eye and the intriguing fascination of his well attended mustache are characteristic of the unique individuality of Tech's own Dean Tibbals. He can inspire only pride and admiration from the students about him who realize that he has in a great measure been responsible for the growth and progress of Armour as a college training good engineers. 15 • 16 • STUDENT OFFICERS OF THE NIGHTHAWKS President.................................Walter E. Koch Secretary............................Martin F. Schneider Treasurer....................................Leo Faitelson Attendance at the evening classes at the Institute last year was nearly double that of any previous year. Registration for the current semester, while below last year's, is still far in advance of any other year. This growth shows that the program of development of the Institute is not limited to any one activity. But the increase also indicates a growing realization of the fact that, for the man who aspires to the responsibilities of leadership, education for this changing, competitive world really only commences with com- mencement. The Evening Division is steadily increasing the scope of its services to technical, industrial and architectural Chicago; witness the various exten- sion courses and conferences successfully given in the past two years. We are not forgetting the needs of our own graduates. Armour men can, in the Evening Division, further qualify themselves for the business and administrative phases of their work and for technical requirements unforeseen in college. Or they can go on to advanced study in the fields of their interests, under a distinguished faculty. We want our alumni to find at the Institute a continuing stimulus and aid to advancement, intellectual as well as material. H. P. DUTTON, Dean of the Evening Division. 9 P.

Representative Robert Tatge.............................Social Chairman During the week of September the 12th the mighty campus of Armour Tech was opened as a haven for handsome, intelligent high school grad- uates. Armour was indeed an institution where merriment was the chief concern, and the fraternities were the benefactors of the novices v ho had wended their way to the intersection of Thirty-third and Federal Streets. Three hundred and thirty innocent individuals were fattened for one glorious week and were then hurriedly shown the slaughter when school : o 40 • Such is the life of a freshman actually began. The mill began to function that horrible second week, and it left a panting group of bewildered, would-be engineers in its wake upon the approach of the first week end. Late in the semester the team that represented the class in the Intra- mural Basketball Tournament emerged from the contest victorious. In the spring the class played host to the school and gave a successful dance. It can now be said that the Class of '42 has buckled down to the job in hand; the disorganized frosh are rightfully assuming their positions with the men of Armour. The class will undoubtedly lose a considerable number of men before enrollment next fall, and although the loss will be felt appreciably, it will not be without its good points. The men that enroll from this class in the fall will be men who have shown their intention to remain at Armour and who give promise of building a better Class of '42. • 41 • Row I: Saperstein.

Vice-President ......................Secretary ..................... Treasurer . Social Chairman A. T. S. A. Representative How different it is to enroll at Armour this year compared with the task of the year previous! We entered not as a group of struggling freshmen, alone, hesitant and worried, but as a unit with friends and companions on all sides ready to continue our study of engineering. It felt good to return to school, to the grounds and even to the faculty. We imagined ourselves to be a part of Armour, and we were determined to uphold both the school and our class in the year that was to follow. • 4 • Illi Early in the semester, we won the school hardball championship, and a few weeks later pushed a team into the semi-finals of the touchball tourney. Although we lost the last game of the interclass basketball series, defeat came only after a vigorously contested match. We watched these accomplishments with pride and knew that these battles completed the unification of the class. Devils that we were, we laughed at despair and prepared for a joyous future. And now two years of college work exist only as history. Although we have successfully withstood broadsides of calc, physics and mechanics, other courses must be vanquished. We must secure two more victories before full honor and prestige can be rightfully accorded the Class of '41. • 4S • Gehle, Hahn. Gaudio. Knorring, Parkin. Huebner, Pfeffer. Flood.

It was no longer a class of the textbook variety. It had been out in the field. The civils had encamped at Trout Lake to brush up on their surveying, the fire protects had been working throughout the middle west in inspection bureau offices, the architects and chemicals had worked on their summer professional problems and many juicers and mechanicals had been employed in industry. The professional contact that the class had made was beneficial. It had produced a more sober, a more conscientious group. The rollicking, rioting band of the year previous had matured. • 48 • The sobering influence proved to be a benefit during this school year. Studies were tackled with renewed vigor. The Junior Formal was held March Nth at the Congress Casino. It proved to be the highlight of the year's social entertainment. In May the Class' second dance, the popular Informal, received widespread acclaim and climaxed the activities of Junior Week. Our Junior year has slipped by. Soon an additional year at Armour will have passed. If the present attitude of the Class can be taken as a basis for prediction, there is little doubt that the Class will triumph in the years that are to follow. • 49 • Row I: Newhart. Getz. Sher.

JUNIOR ACTIVITIES Reh Bush Clark Isakson Finnegan Anderson Zarem Anthon Wagner Moculeski Four years in the future seem literally ages away. But to look back upon four years, the time is found to have flown for every member of the senior class. When we were burdened by professors and heckled by sophomores in our freshman year, four years in the future seemed remote indeed. But now that the time has passed, our freshman days and mem- ories are vividly recalled. It is difficult to believe those days were but events of four years past. We are Seniors. But we find it difficult to believe. • 52 • During these years at Armour, we have waited for June, 1939. Now we are going to leave, but not with the enthusiasm of the past. We have grown to be part of Armour and severing our daily contacts is going to be done regretfully. We read about plans for renovation, and watched with interest the progress of the succeeding construction work. And as Armour grew, so did we. We are truly a class that has grown with Armour. We will depart soon, but memories and traditions of the school will always linger. • 53 • f.JZv+ 4 rv VtjZ £.V OJ L Zf p Ui44£ aJ (7 77td ’ £.i.% (jAuc jle cx 4 ficfr L £. .

THE ARMOUR TECH STUDENT ASSOCIATION HONOR CYCLE AWARD Thomas Clark Thomas Collier Stephen P. Finnegan Paul Henriksen Joseph Janicek Willard Kruse Edward Swanson Ralph Tullgren Richard Vandekieft Robert Winblad • 73 • Unique is the position of the co-operative students at Armour. In school during only one-half of a five year period, they spend the remaining time gaining engineering experience by working in industry. A new and radical departure from standard college training this may seem, yet it is not so much as one might believe: The co-operative system of education was first introduced in 1906 at the University of Cincinnati from whence, by 1930, it had spread to nineteen engineering colleges. To Armour goes the credit for pioneering this type of education in the middle west. General Thomas S. Hammond, President of the Whiting Corporation and the Illinois Manufacturers' Association inter- CO-OP CLUB OFFICERS Meyers Schellschmidt Heidenreich ested James D. Cunningham, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Institute and of the Republic Flow Meters Company, in the co-op plan. Through the endeavors of these two men, an outline of the co-operative course developed. November of 1935 saw the formation of a committee composed from members of the faculty. Mr. L. J. Lease was appointed a member of the department of mechanical engineering as coordinator for the Institute in its relation with industry. Under Mr. Lease's guidance the course developed so that there are now 236 co-operative students enrolled. Cuculic Krahulec Appelt Row I: Watson. Stuecheli. Cunny. Cavanagh. Staroba, Anderson.

Seven wins as compared with six losses count for the mark. While .500 is good ball playing for any club, the team was a bit disappointed in its performance. Starting out with five wins, coupled with eight straight from the previous season, the Techawks had a thirteen game streak broken by Lake Forest v hen that outfit won after a fourteen inning duel. The streak includes a win over the Mills semipros. one of the highlights of the season. A natural let-down after the long victory string was an I 1-0 defeat at the hands of the North Central Cardinals, who repeated in the same week, but by a more narrow margin. 13-12. Wheaton proved easy on Armour’s home lot, falling 19-7 before the Slants of Kruse. The team then took their annual trip, meeting Ypsilanti and Michigan State on the foreign fields, resulting in a pair of losses. The final games included wins over DeKalb and Ypsilanti and a Coach Stenger loss to Lake Forest. The weather man was no more encouraging to the tearp-irffts warm-ups in preparation for the opener with Chicago U than Tie had been the previous year, but it proved to be no obstacle, as proved by the 4-0 shut-out for the Techawks. Victory number 2 was another shut- out, 1-0, over the Mills semipros. What was supposed to be a base- ball game proved to be a farce as Armour defeated Elmhurst, 19-6. In a heated battle waged on the Wheaton diamond, the Ministers lost to Stenger boys 6-2 midst arguments and heated words from both dugouts. DeKalb almost broke the winning streak when they lost to the Institute 7-6. Giving Armour 14 innings instead of 14 straight wins, Lake Forest broke the streak as they won 7-6. The next loss was a Coach's nightmare come true. North Central won I 1-0 as the Techawks displayed how not to play baseball. • 83 • • 84 • Lyckberg Carrier Tullgren Krause Yursis Leonard Moculeski Kruse Bauch Penn Thodos Meeting the same team a week later, again the Tech nine bit the dust, but not ungloriously. The score stood 13-12 when the last strike crossed the plate. Meeting Wheaton for the second time, the team again trounced the Ministers, this time by the nice margin of 19-7. The Techawks sojourned in Michigan for three days after meeting Ypsilanti in order to meet the Michigan State Spartans. Again our diamondeers proved themselves to be near the top in college baseball, for it was only after nine hard-fought innings that this strong conference team managed to win, 5-4. Led by Pacocha and Kruse, Armour defeated DeKalb in what almost turned out to be a double header. Pitcher Maiman of Lake Forest had a little too much on the ball for the Armourites. the score standing 7-0 for Lake Forest. A well-deserved win for Armour in its closing game of the year was brought about by some mighty fine pitching by Pacocha when he met Ypsilanti. • 85 • n G After getting away to a great start by winning three of the first games, the Techawks faltered and could win but two of the remaining ten of the season. The fact that six players were forced to miss games be- of injuries certainly did not make Stenger's task easier. Heading casualties was Co-captain Paul Henriksen, who was lost to the team for The entire season because of an injury received in an early prac- tice session. However, Ed Swanson took very good care of the captain's ledger sheet by leading all scorers with a total of 119 points. Two sophomores, O’Connor and Sliwa, had marks of 81 and 70 points, re- spectively, to follow Ed on the scoring list; these two in turn were followed by Norkus with 61 points, and Scherer, a guard, with 54 points. Scherer was elected to lead next year's team as Captain. The juniors and sopho- mores of this year's squad should form an experienced and well-balanced nucleus, since six of them participated in at least tetKgames of this year's schedule. A thrilling photo-finish win over Chicago Teacher's College opened the season. As in most of this year's games, Armour fqund itself behind at halftime, this time to the tune of 9-18. Gimme that pill! • 86 • Manager Grabacki Capitalizing on 9 of their I I free throws. Armour rallied to win 30-29. The Techawks made it two in a row when they outplayed Arkansas State for a well-deserved 37-34 victory. Swanson scored ten of his, pace- setting a total of fifteen points in this period. O'Connor than collaborate v ith Swanson in scoring twelve points in the final half to keep Armour well in front of its opponents. In the Lake Forest game the Afmourites were not able to get any sustained attack under way arjckwent down in defeat, 33-29. The Armour players scored most of th ir baskets the hard way, fighting hard for rebounds and scoring frpmunder the basket. The final gun cut short a late desperate rallv nich brought Armour within four points of a tie. All the offensive pov er the quintet potentially pos- sessed suddenly and unexpectedly came into being when the team met and beat the strong Norjj efn Illinois State Teachers of DeKalb. Playing an inspired game wjin the emphasis on team work, the Techawks tri- umphed, 36-3 I . Cnicago U proved to be much too much for the team, as attested by the lopsided score of 48 to I I for the men from the mid- way. Nothing seemed could be done against their air-tight zone defense.

Jumping away to an early lead, Armour was never headed as they downed the George Williams team 30-26. Unable to hold on to a four-point lead with but a minute to go for the gun, Armour was forced into an overtime period with Elmhurst, and went down in defeat, 31 -37. Chicago Teacher's again proved to be meat as Armour polished them off, 34-29, with the aid of the three S's, Swanson, Scherer, and Sliwa. Traveling to Toledo for the first time, the team was swamped by De Sales, 35-51. The trip to Detroit was equally unsuccess- ful, with Detroit U on the long end of a 60-35 score. Unable to cope with the accurate long-shot scoring of Detroit Tech, the Techawks took it on the chin, 33-40. The final of the year had De Sales practically dupli- cating its victory over Armour, the score being 56-35. The '38 outdoor track season was the most successful that had been enjoyed in several years. The Techmen closed the season with a vic- tory over Loyola that brought the total of wins up to nine. On the other side of the record was a pair of losses to North Central, who have been the champions of the Illinois College Conference for the last ioof years, and a loss to Illinois Wesleyan. Outstanding among the-' ins was a 65-61 triumph over Bradley Tech, the first Armour win over this school in eight years. In a triangular meet with Wheaiorfand Elmhurst, the Tech- men scored I 19 points as comparedto Sior Wheaton and 45 for Elm- hurst, or 19 more points than the'wier two schools' total. The season alsobrought with it several new and tied records. In the first meet o£ he season Dixon cleared eleven feet six inches to hang up a new pole vault record. The following week at North Central, Elwood ■also cleared that height to gain a tie. This record was tied twice before Elwood pushed it up to twelve feet in the Armour Relays. Bingham, the first Armour man to win a major event in the Relays, tied the 60 yard dash record of :06.5 several times during the indoor season and in a meet against Elmhurst tied the 70 yard low hurdle record of :08.l. He broke the 70 yard dash at the Relays. The first meet of the outdoor season also brought a new record in the discus throw as Vandekieft tossed it 127 feet 3 inches. The Bradley meet gave Finnegan the chance he wanted and he stepped out to run way out in front and come in with a new record in the two mile run. In the final meet with Loyola, Clark tied the high An outdoor meet jump record, and either he or Vandekieft should top this mark in the '39 season. Worthy of mention is the commendable showing made at the Illinois Relays. The two-mile relay team of Ryan, Deuter, Finnegan, and Platz placed third in the college event, and against competition that am compemfen Again in the relays. Armour took a fourth when the medley team of DunbarT'Deuter, Finnegan, and Platz scored. Looking at it from all angles, it was a veryscrtnslying season, and Coach Norm Root deserves congratulations for whipping together such a fine bunch of athletes. In the opening meet with Beloit on ApftklA Armour had a slight edge on firsts, taking seven, as compared to the Gotdmen's six. It was the seconds and thirds that clinched the meet for our Cinder-oien. Taking away every first place available, the Techmen handed a 109-22 trouncing in the second meet. The only meet held on Ogden field gave Armour her third victory, as Wright bowed down before a 90, 2 35l 2 onslaught. The defeat, 66-65, at the hands of Illinois Wesleyan, was a heart- breaker. The tracksters swept into the lead with first and seconds in the shot-put, pole vault and broad jump, only to have Wesleyan pull up to a 61-61 tie with the javelin throw, the only remaining event. Pilkis of Wesleyan threw the spear 155 feet to Clark's 148 to give Wesleyan their I point edge.

Armour's track repre- sentatives were nosed out of any placing positions, but managed to score a total of I 3% points in the Relays. As noted before, the triangular meet the next day was a whitewash for Armour. It was in the following week that Bradley went to its first defeat in eight years against an Armour squad. This was followed by the North Central Cardinal's win. walloping Armour, 99-32. The closing win over Loyola saw Clark take three firsts in the broad jump, javelin throw, and high jump, as Armour swept the discus throw with Vandekieft, Burman, and Stehman taking honors. • V3 • The Techawk cindermen closed the 1939 season showing a record of two wins and two losses, the losses being attributed to the graduation of several of last year's high point men. However, Coach Root, working with the last year regulars and a few new men, brought out a team which after a poor beginning with two losses began to find itself, and concluded the last two meets with easy victories. The first meet of the season was with North Central, whose powerful team scored a 64 to 31 victory over the Techawks. It was in this meet that Co-captain Finnegan suffered an attack of appendicitis and was lost for the season. This left the team without a real two miler. Co-captain Vsndekieft was high point man for Armour with victories in the shot put and high jump. On February 24 Loyola, for the first time in several years, came, saw, and conquered the Techawks to the tune of 60l 2 34l 2. Clean sweeps by the visitors in the quarter mile and two mile events turned the trick for them. Rothenberg took high point honors for the Techawks with a first in the low hurdles, a second in the high hurdles, and a third in the dash. The middle of the following week the Techawks began to hit their strides as they scored over Wilson Jr. College and then, on March 13, turned in a victory over Elmhurst. The Armourites were on the long end of a 64-27 count, with eight firsts and clean sweeps in four events. • 94 • J Ui J CCH Matthews Hruda Cerovski Elwood Beeby Prekos Vandekeift Bujan Opila Burman Rothenberg Miller Heidenreich Clark Barry Root Erisman Finnegan Graham Sarasin 95 The eleventh running of the Armour Tech Relay games proved to be truly a night of stars as Armour acted as host to some 400 track and field athletes who, although highly touted, were hardly expected to smash four classic records and to tie another. The scene again was the Uni- versity of Chicago's Field House, which on March 18 was filled to over- flowing with a large and spirited crowd. The first mark to hit the sidelines was the shotput which went asunder almost before the spectators had time to be seated. Here Elmer Hackney, football star from Kansas State University, threw the 16 pound shot 51 feet 91 inches for the longest toss made by any athlete in com- petition this year. Almost before the ovation claiming the new record had died, all eyes were shifted to the straightaway where Walter Skelton of Marquette was equaling the existing record in the 70 yard dash of 7.1 seconds. Next the spotlight turned to the pole vault, where Ed Thistlewaite of Northwestern was making history, clearing the bar at I 3 feet I I • g inches, setting a new relay record. n j u College teams also did their part to lift the Tech games to an even higher level by establishing two new marks. Wagner of North Central covered the 440 in the college division in :49.4 to lower the old mark by 0.6 seconds. In the two mile relay of the college division the Michigan Normal team stepped out to a record time of 8:06.5. Team honors went to Michigan State Normal for scoring three firsts, one tie for first, and three seconds in the college division. In the same division North Central and Grinnell took second and third places respectively. All in all, the Eleventh Relays was a credit to Armour and to all who competed in its events. Next year the stars will go to even greater performances and, in time, the Tech Relays will be the track classic of the nation. n The conclusion of the Tech swimming season found the tankmen on the topside of a 7-5 meet record. This proved to be a great improvement over last season when the Techmen were on the short end of a 7-5 meet record. An even greater improvement is forecast for next year, what with the loss of only one man through graduation, and the possibilities always offered by incoming freshmen. Earl Anderson, captain-elect for the coming year, with the aid of Coach McGillivray should be able to whip a fine team into shape with the material that will be on hand. The team was materially strengthened by the contribution of Talcott, Huxhold, and Rademacher from the freshman class. Teams come and teams go but Dodge stays on to win consistently for Armour in his specialty, the Close finish n u Manager Burman 220 yard free-style. Winblad won his fourth letter award in as many years as he piloted the team through its successful season, while Pettes held sway on the diving board. Huxhold, Hutchings, and Rademacher made a threesome for the medley that opponents found hard to beat. The opening meet with Loyola saw our tanksters fall away before a 46-20 score. The following meet with North Central also proved a heartbreaker, the Armourites losing 44-31. In the third meet the Techawks braved the ferocious tricks of winter to swim against DePauw at Greencastle, Indiana. Although the Armour mermen put up a strong battle, the DePauw squad, a more experienced team, managed to win, 49-35. In their next meet the tankers swam to an easy victory over the North Central Redbirds at Bartlett pool. The final tabulation being 48 points for the Armourites. The four sea-horsemen Winblad Burman • 100 • and the Naperville crew 27. In taking the Cardinals, the proteges of Coach McGillivray scored first in all events with the sole exception of the diving. The swimmers evened their record in the following two me by winning over Bradley Polytech, 32-30, and whippinaj a'lamazoo Teachers College 48-30. Both meets were held injkrfflett pool. In a revival of the once bitter Tech-Williams feydr'The Techmen splashed out a 42, 2 to 32i 2 win. This raised theyp46fal to four straight for the season. Through the efforts of CapJarffWinblad and Huxhold the Techmen again copped the rela jwkile their teammates managed to race through the other heat-s arnering a majority of points. The medley trio ran into r.owg'K water for the first time this seaon, for only after a last minute spurt were they able to finish in a tie with the revived Williams paddlers. The mermen turned the Kalamazoo meet into a 49-26 rout dropping one first place position. The meet was held in the Michigan Team's pool and was one of the most decisive victories recorded during the team's string of five straight. The following week was hell-week for the Tech- tankers as they saw their hopes washed down the drain with losses to DePauw and Bradley Tech. Both consolation and vengeance were had in the last two meets of the season, as the mermen made merry with the Herzl Junior College team in their home pool, drowning them by the scores of 42-24 and 45-21 in two successive meets. In the first meet Dodge again came through by leading the pack with Pettes close on his heels through the five lengths of the 100 yard free-style. The second meet saw Captain Winblad. swimming for the last time for Armour, as a leading factor in the team's winning both of the relays. Out of a total of 14 first places Armour took all but three of the blue ribbons. Coach Bibb Manager Sheehan The 1938 Tech golf season, although not a perfect record of fairway victories, proved to be a most interesting year. The team welcomed back six experienced men from the previous season as well as a promising group of aspirants. Inspired throughout its seven-meet schedule by Coach Sammy Bibb, the team went on to win four meets against three losses. Captain Twick Davidson, along with Carl Malmfeldt, Chuck Skuza, Jack Shanahan, and Ralph Schmal, were responsible for the greater part of the team's scoring. The opening encounter was played April 23 against Loyola at Bob- O-Link, but despite several low scores turned in by the Tech golfers, the north siders walked away with the honors, winning I 2-3 2- At the second meet the golfers engaged in matched play against the alumni at Southmoor Country Club. This time it was the varsity's turn to shine, romping over the alumni by the final score of 18-12. May 7 the Tech men whipped Wheaton at Southmoor, but the week- end of May 10 saw two losses as the team journeyed to Illinois State Teachers at Charleston, Illinois, and thence to Terre Haute. Wabash increased the losses total as they won on the next day. The golfers closed the season by winning their return match with Wheaton. • 102 • Korrell. Sunde. Bibb. Schmal Coach Bibb shows ’em how. • 103 • The tennis team lived up to all the high hopes and expectations held for them. A seasonal record of eight wins, a tie and two losses is what is offered for scrutiny by Swanson, Natinchek. Kubic, Lange, and Wagner, Inc., and it certainly meets with approval. The effect is heightened when it is considered that this includes wins over such schools as Indiana State, Illinois Wesleyan, and North Central, while both losses were by one match only, and these to Purdue and Loyola. The individual honors go to Captain Joe Kubic, who played a very dependable type of game while winning all but one of his eleven matches. Incidentally, Kubic is the only member of the team lost through gradua- tion. all of which adds up to a good team for this season. Ed Swanson and Nick Natinchek both had nine wins and three defeats for their sea- sonal record. Natinchek was elected pilot of this year's squad. Just beginning his net career at Armour was Bob Lange, who did a pleasing job of scoring eight victories, while becoming a victim in four matches. Last, but not least, is Wagner, who won five of the eight matches he played. Opening the season on the Midway courts, theTechmen had no trouble defeating Chicago Normal, 6-1. The unfortunate Armourite who suc- cumbed to the Chicago Normal number one man was Natinchek. who went down 6-1,6-1. Captain Kubic lost only one game when he defeated Manager Anthon Wagner Swanson Natinchek n Coach Colvert Doyle 6-1. 6-0. The remaining matches, while not push-overs, were taken in fine style by the Colvertmen. Hinging on one match and Armour within one match of victory, Tech's chances faded with the setting sun on the perfect tennis day that she met Loyola. Loyola won 4-3. The favor of the meet oscillated many times, gruelling sets of deuce games stretching the time of the play to four hours. Although defeated 6-1 by the University of Chicago B team, the Armour boys showed great form and fight before a gallery of enthusiastic tennis fans on the Midway. Top honors went to Swanson, who over- whelmed Norian 6-3, 6-1 after losing a love set. Hitting their stride after Chicago and Loyola, the racketmen slashed their way to a decisive victory over St. Viator by shutting them out 7-0. The match against Wheaton wound up in a 3-3 tie. and this after win- ning three out of four of the single matches. Although the weather man cut their afternoon activities short, the racketeers were able to smash Illinois Wesleyan 4-0 before the deluge. Kubic continued in his winning way by overcoming Hartman with ease, 6-2, 6-1, while the remaining matches were more or less closely contested. Decisively whipping North Central for the second time, the Techsters wound up the season in great shape. Tullgren Butkus Nigrelli R. Wagner Thodos Balsewick Weissman W. Wagner Willman Jensen Kazmierowicz Hanna De Boo Collier Ropek • 106 • Coach Weissman Manager Ropek A writer's worst job is to sit down and attempt to record for posterity an unsuccessful team's season. Sonny Weissman. with this thought ever in mind, again produced a team that saves said writer this embarrassment. Looking at the wrestler's record we see seven wins out of eleven meets, which just on the face of figures falls in the category of another success story. Delving a little deeper we find that the four winning opponents constitute just about the toughest foursome any wrestling team might want to run up against; namely. Purdue, Case. DeKalb, and Wheaton. And yet deeper as we go after whys and wherefors we find the Techawks taking Purdue into camp in a return bout, wrestling this time under the customary time advantage system. In other words the Boilermakers won the first meet by the point system where a win is up to the referee's deci- sion as to which boy displayed the best form. Something like awarding points for fancy diving. Outstanding among the grapplers this year was Till, who was defeated only once, and that time at Purdue. Tullgren, graduating captain, was another to enjoy a successful season, winning a majority of his bouts. Kazmierowicz became more proficient as the sea- son advanced, and along with Hanna, captain elect, will form the nucleus of next year's team. • 10 • .Gryglas Bain Rothenberg Collis Carlson Kotulla Collier Weissman Mankus Colant Malleris Barteldes • 108 • n u Coach Welssman Since the inauguration of the Golden Gloves tournament in Chicago some years ago, Armour has always had a team entered, and this year was no exception. Conceded by most everyone to be one of the toughest tournaments in the country, the boys from Thoidy-thoid and the tracks have always made a presentable showing. Five Armourites saw action in this classic this year. DeGeorgi, who fought at White City, made the best showing by winning three bouts before he stopped a fast one. Colant advanced to the quarter finals, only to lose out on a very close decision. Incidentally, he's the lad that will do the captaining in the season to come. Peterson, Kotulla, and Erickson, fighting in the Loyola Section, were de- feated in their first bouts. Sonny Weissman, broker of the Armour sock market, also has had no little experience in the Golden Gloves. However, Sonny's connections with the Gloves have been a little less hazardous and at the same time more remunerative than those of the boxers. He's seen quite some service as a sectional referee. Lack of meets was a sore spot v ith the squad, and in their only scheduled meet of the season the boxers took quite a beating at the hands of Culver. Cappodano was the only Techman to come through with a win. although Colant, Erickson, and Barnabee all lost by only one point. • 109 • [ft n u n The fraternity men. ever ready to drop books to take part in athletic competition, kept busy during every season of the past year. In the spring, baseball and track occupied the interest of this group. The results of the competition showed Phi Pi Phi superior in the track and relay events, while Phi Kappa Sigma won the baseball championship. Fall found football and bowling in popularity. Phi Pi Phi won the bowl- ing cup for the third time, and the Delts annexed their second straight touchball championship. Basketball and ping-pong came into their own at the same time, and when the smoke had cleared away, Phi Pi had regained the basketball trophy, while Pi Kap kept possession of the ping-pong cup. Shots taken at Interfrat events. Autumn action in interclass touchball. Champs of the '38 season. Athletic activity at Armour isn't confined to just a few sterling ath- letes with the ability to make the teams, but is indulged in by a majority of the Techmen, who seem willing to drop their slip-sticks for a moment and get a little intramural exercise. Hardly giving the ink time to dry on the registration cards, Armour's own World Series got under way and proceeded to a hasty end as the sophomores won the hardball tourna- ment. The senior chems won their second touchball tournament, the frosh took basketball, boxing and wrestling, winners were split among the classes, and the seniors proved the better trackmen. This leaves swimming and softball pending at this writing, for the juniors so far haven't had an opportunity to take part. • in • OFFICERS President......................

Different in style, different in design, sents many interesting hours of planning and work by a staff which operated as an all-star team. Everyone was given a definite place a duty to fulfill, and the publication shows the results. Using fewer words and more pictures than ever before, we have tried to incorporate more LIFE in this volume by giving a straightforward presentation of vi ws and happenings about Armour in a concise, modern fashion. Every organiza- tion, every fraternity, every team, and every student have been accounted for, and we will not consider our work successful unless it meets the ap- proval of each man who has contributed a part. In every publication of this kind, a great amount of effort is expended in obtaining an artistic layout. In designing the pages and cover of the Cycle of '39, we have tried to combine art with engineering by using rectangular and circular systems of assembly. In this way it was hoped that we would please both engineer and architect, as well as anyone else who might be interested in Armour Institute of Technology. To members of the faculty and others who have unselfishly given their aid. we extend our sincere thanks. We hope that the staff of next year's annual will derive as much real enjoyment from their work as we have. We wish them the best results in their undertaking, and hope that they, too, will produce something different. DAN JACOBSON, Editor. V bove: Anoewon Editor-in-Chief .... THE STAFF . . . .

Hendricks The exceptionally high standard of the publications of Armour Insti- tute of Technology is indicative of the time and attention given to their perfection. The Armour Engineer and Alumnus, now thirty years old, is the farthest reaching of these publications, bringing to the students of the Institute, present and past, news of their classmates and news of their alma mater. The Engineer is under the general management of Professor Walter Hendricks, Editor-in-Chief. Mr. A. B. Lewis, Assistant to the Presi- dent, is in charge of business affairs. Outside of the fact that the Armour Engineer is an alumni guide and an indicator of Institute activity, it is also a recognized scientific journal. Foreign libraries, as well as our own national scientific societies, regularly receive the publication. Its four issues annually bring articles of lasting interest on current subjects of a technical nature. The inclusion of a large number of excellent photographs has popularized it so as to appeal to other than engineers. At present it has a circulation of over twenty thousand copies, reaching every alumnus in this country and abroad. In recent years it has become an increasingly important and influential instrument of Institute publicity. It has attracted the attention of thou- sands of Armour's friends who follow the life and activity of the college. The Engineer has done, and is doing, a creditable service to the Institute, its graduates, and to society as a journal of the progress of engineering education as reflected here at Armour. A. B.

Max Ephraim Sports Editor...............................Howard Coyle Copy Editor.................................Thomas Yeakle Business Manager..........................Robert Winblad Faculty Advisor...........................Walter Hendricks Another year and another volume of the Armour Tech News has rolled off the presses. Although only twelve years old this publication has be- come deeply imbedded in the life and traditions of Armour Tech. Russ Kotal led a competent staff through thirty-one difficult dead- lines, including last spring's extra scoop edition which told of plans for the new Student Union. Tech News also had the exclusive privilege of announcing the appointments of President Heald and Dean Tibbals. Getting out a school paper is a real job—few awards are given to the deserving staff. Yet each edition of the Armour Tech News is the result of tireless effort made for the advancement and glory of Armour Tech. • 121 • Committee Chairman. Walter Hendricks The Student Publications Advisory Committee is now five years old. In the course of these years it has centralized the administration's policy of the Armour publications in order that they may better reflect in their respective media the best interests of the Institute. Formerly each stu- dent publication was under a different faculty directorship, so that a conflict of administration and policy was almost inevitable. Aware of the undesirability of this situation, Dr. Hotchkiss, in 1934, organized the Student Publications Advisory Committee, headed since its organization by Professor Walter Hendricks, and consisting also of Professor W. W. Colvert and Professor Billy Goetz. An important function of the Committee is to effect a continuity of spirit in the several publications of the Institute. The Committee seeks to find the men best qualified for the important editorial positions on the Cycle, Armour Tech News, and Engineer. It tends to maintain a spirit of co-operation and amiability between them that they may function ultimately as a unit for the greatest benefit to the college and her greater family. Within jurisdiction also is the budget apportionment meant to make each publication most useful to student and alumnus. In accordance with the recent expansion program at Armour, special emphasis has been made on the publicity organs of the Institute. The Committee is at present ably managing the editorial policies of its pub- lication that all who read either the Cycle, News, or Engineer will be equally impressed with the emphasis on education and research main- tained here at Armour. • 122 • Faculty Grill Prof. Billy clears a point First lady of the Student Union Engineers (?) at work The beginning of it all Me and Einstein.

Classrooms were dark and still. The only students on campus were the junior chems and fire protects drawing their infernal hoists. Without, a warm breeze was blowing and a bright sun was shining. It v as junior week, when Tech forgets the other thirty- five weeks of grind to lose itself in four days of interclass and fraternity frolic. Tuesday morning the fraternity muscle men donned track costumes pilfered from prep school and college as well, and strutted and dashed about while the clean, white junior marshals tried to remain clean and manage the contestants. The Phi Pi’s in usual form won the meet with no • 124 • trouble, to add another victory to their string of athletic laurels. The Delts nosed out the Pi Kapp's for place position, twenty points behind the leaders. In the evening the fraternities opened wide their doors and traded dances in accordance with the annual fraternity open house. The Institute dressed up in its Sunday clothes on Wednesday and put on a real show for its thirty-fourth open house. Literally thousands of Armour's family from high schools and homes in Chicago and suburbs came to see the displays. The chem labs were especially popular, while the physics laboratories had many puzzled and guessing visitors. The juicers made a hit with their kiss-o-meter and vacuum tubes. The arch’s • 125 • Circus Day activities proceed. in the drafting room and the photo enthusiasts in the library had excellent displays which drew large crowds.

After four years of trying to settle the question of superiority in the classroom, the faculty and seniors took to the field fgp-battle in the afternoon. The scene of contest was the basebalj dt mond. and instead of the usual stuff the sides took turns baseballs. The overconfident seniors started off ahead, but the indefatigable faculty with the regularity of strength assignments, whittled away the lead and won. as usual, while the lower classmen clut- tered up the field scrapping together. • 126 • The pentathlon, an annual feature testing the athletic versatility and supremacy of Tech’s he men, was won by Svadgis, a tank man. Thursday featured the thirty-third annual spring concert of the Armour Tech Musical Clubs, with the popular interfraternity sing. In tone the evening, the glee club and orchestra rendered a varied pco fam from spirited ballads to tender love songs.

Meanwhile the Delts i Kapp's settled the interfraternity baseball championship in a pro- longed but friendly argument. The Delts lost 9-2, partly because their minds weren't on the game. Beginning of the Frosh-Soph sack-rush Of real interest on Circus Day were the production attempts of the various fraternities. The wits and nits of each house put their heads to- [jer and an amused crowd saw some clever, and some not so clever, stac id fanciful and converted Ogden Field into a d and her seven dwarf friends were hits and the ii§d first place. The impatient underclassmen indulged in gbTilla tactics awaiting three p. m.. while the juniors and seniors tussled in a more dignified manner.

Relinquishing the tug o' war, the graduates did manage to merge victorious in the wheelbarrow race. Finish of the Frosh-Soph rush. The Sophs rejoice in victory! At two minutes of Three, Marshals Dixon, Clark.

G. trained the men in fine points of singing and playing, and developed a splendid repertoire for the season. When Howie and Mash remembered to take roll-call, 125 stu- dents were discovered attending rehearsals. 50% of this number man- aged to drag themselves to the concerts given at exclusive Chicago and suburban clubs and national hook-ups. Out of town trips to Dwight, Harvey, Milwaukee, and girls' schools brought out 120% of the membership. The Rah-Rah boys who got a lot of the applause (and loved it) were Danforth, piano; Mashinter, violin; Doolittle, trumpet; Charlton, trom- bone; Woods, oboe; and the mad Russians, Hansen and Gromak. From the glee club came a double octet and solos by Yeakle, the fellow who after four years at Armour finally discovered that without girls in the audience there’s no use singing, and without girls in your life there's no use living. The Goodman Theatre Concert was tops all the way. rendered to a large audience despite the inclement weather. • 131 • A R Dramatics at Armour took on a new aspect last September. The appointment of Mr. Merrill G. Christophersen as director of the players was responsible for the change. One of the imm having a full time director was that the players' rc unified.

After much hard work the play was presented on the evening of January 6, 1939. The new Union auditorium was packed to capacity, marking the effort as a success. As their second production, the players dramatized Captain Applejack, presenting it late in the season and scoring another hit. Dramatics at Armour now have been placed on solid footing, with real student interest and participation as a foundation. ' • £ T E C H P L A Y E R S A formal dinner-dance was held on March 5, 1938, under the spon- sorship of the Class of 1939. The site chosen was the beautiful and spa- cious Grand Ballroom of the Palmer House. Gay Claridge and his orchestra offered many sweet melodies to the delight of social Armour and its guests.

It was the intention of the committee to utilize the facilities of the Itasca Country Club, and the orchestra remained to be selected. THE COMMITTEE R. J. Tatge J. J. Mays E. G. Huxhold R. H. Talcott T. S. Krupnik E. R. Ther On the eve of April 14, the Class of '42 made its debut into the social life of Armour. The annual Freshman Dance was presented at the Boulevard Room of the Stevens Hotel. The selections played by Art Wise and his Orchestra were of excellent choice, and presented an evening of danceable music for the Techawks and their guests. • 136 • The social fraternities of Armour Tech selected the evening of January 28 to hold their annual Interfraternity Formal. The committee selected the Columbia Yacht Club, on Chicago's lake front, as the most desirable spot for this affair. Music for this unusual affair was furnished by Pierson Thai and his orchestra, whose rippling rhythms blended well v ith the Lake Michigan atmosphere. Dodge, Collier, and guests. Grosse, DeMoney, Ratzel, Hartman, Murray. The Sophomore Class made a great effort to produce one of the outstanding social events of the year. Their choice of the Grand Ballroom of the Medinah Athletic Club was excellent. The music, supplied by Jack Russell's Orchestra, created an atmosphere for dancing that pleased all who attended. Thus the socialites of Armour were convinced that the Class of 1941 upheld the tradition of the annual Sophomore Dance ... an affair at which everybody may have a really good time. The Zarabanda, sponsored by the Junior Architectural Class, was successfully held in the Michigan Room of the Edgewater Beach Hotel on October 21. 1938. The orchestra selected to deliver the necessary rhythm of the evening was Junie Griggs' Colonial Club Orchestra. The Zarabanda served as an informal introduction of the architects' new department director and staff. • 138 • Hill. Stone. Cuculic, Appelt.

This dance aided in bringing the two groups of co-ops together, but to the disdain of everybody, the evening came to an early close, leaving behind pleasant memories of another co-op achievement.

The chapter established at Armour became the fourteenth chapter of the National Organization, which now has over sixty-nine active branches. The first chapter 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 undergraduates of engineering, and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering colleges of America. Since the fraternity was founded, membership has been conferred on some thirty thousand student and graduate engineers. Following the policies of Tau Beta Pi Association, Illinois Beta Chapter has been actively engaged in promoting and in aiding student engineering 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. • 157 • OFFICERS President Russell Kotal Secretary-Treasurer Stephen P.

This organization was established in March, 1907, and it became the second honorary fraternity of the school. Pre- vious to its formation, 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 committee, seeking to foster and to pro- mote publication work at the Institute and to honor those students who had rendered meritorious service to the Institute through literary accom- plishments, ultimately founded Sphinx. In 1909 the fraternity was successful in its efforts to found the ARMOUR ENGINEER. In February of 1929, 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. • 159 • OFFICERS President...................Reginald I. Bush Vice-President . . . James D.

The frater- nity v as organized in 1903 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. Realizing that affiliation with this fraternity offered many advantages, a group of students of the Armour electrical engineering department 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 engineer- ing activities. These chapters are assisted by eleven alumni groups that give close attention to electrical engineering activities in the field. • 161 • OFFICERS President . . Vice-President Ambrose M.

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 Theta Delta petitioned for mem- bership 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 at the University of Illinois in 1909, and Armour's Edfou Temple became the third temple of the organization. Since the establishment of Edfou Temple ten additional ones have been granted at leading schools of architecture throughout the midwest, enlarging Scarab fraternity to thirteen temples. The fraternity was founded to provide a broader knowledge of architecture and to promote friendly competition between students and schools of architecture. Endeavoring to complete this objective, Edfou Temple has added a stimulus to the study of design by offering numerous competitions during the school year. • 163 • OFFICERS President..................Roland B.

Their object in starting this organization was the promotion of high scholarship and original investigation in all branches of pure and applied chemistry. The organization started slowly, the next chapter or- ganized being at the University of Wisconsin in 1906. It has since grown phenomenally until at the present time there are thirty-six active chapters and nearly ten thousand members. The latest addition is a chapter at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, this year. Omicron chapter was established at Armour Institute of Technology in 1920, largely through the efforts of two members of the chemical en- gineering department, Professor C. A. Tibbals and Mr. C. F. Smith. Ad- mission to the society is limited to those members of the junior and senior classes in chemical engineering having the highest scholastic averages. Although scholarship is the major basis for eligibility, personality of the candidate is also considered. • 165 ® OFFICERS President....................Harold S.

In the following year a petition for a chapter of Chi Epsilon at Armour was presented to the officers of the fraternity. The petition was accepted by the fraternity, and the Armour chapter of Chi Epsilon was initiated on March 9, 1923. Following years saw greater expansion of the fraternity with the result that today there are fifteen active chapters at leading engineeering schools throughout the country and a membership of more than two thousand. Recognizing the fact that chapters many miles apart would have difficulty in functioning as one, the supreme council inaugurated the Transit as a semi-annual publication. Chapter news and articles of general or engineering interest are found in the magazine, the composition of which is the responsibility of the individual chapter representatives under the direction of the Transit editor. • 167 • OFFICERS President ....

In 1922, when it was clear what the aims of such a society would be, Professor J. B. Finnegan, aided by students of the department, took the initial steps toward the establishment of such an organization. Permission to form this society was granted by officers of the Institute, and in 1923 Salamander was officially recognized as the fire protection honorary society. Although it has not had chance to expand nationally, due to the fact that Armour has the distinction of being the only school with a fire pro- tection engineering department, there are at present 120 men who have been extended membership into the society. The prime requisite for membership is high scholarship. However, to qualify the candidate must show evidence of superior abilities through his activities and must possess strong character. • 169 • OFFICERS President..................Joseph J.

The founders of the fraternity were all members of the mechanical engineering departments of the two schools. They co-operated with faculty heads of the schools in the organization and establishment of the society that would foster the high ideals of the profession, stimulate interest 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 the students of Armour's mechanical engineering department. These students, petitioning for a chapter, were aided by members 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. Delta Chapter became the fifth chapter of the national organization, which has nine branches at present. • 171 • OFFICERS President .... George E. Danforth Vice-President . . . Allen J.

Establish- ment of the fraternity came only after officers of the Institute extended permission to the officials of the Armour Tech Musical Clubs to establish an honorary musical society. This new fraternity was the product of the 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 stimu- lating an interest among students in musical appreciation and interesting them in working for the musical clubs of the school. The charter was granted by Institute officials in January. 1927. 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. • 173 • OFFICERS President....................Edward Chevalley Secretary...................Robert L.

Last April, 1938, a petition for a chapter of Rho Epsilon at Armour was presented to the officers of the fraternity. This petition was forwarded to the society by members of the former Armour Tech Radio Club. The application was accepted by the fraternity and a charter was granted as Epsilon Chapter in June. 1938. The purpose of this organization is to encourage experimental radio activity among American College Students. The active membership chosen from the student body as a whole must consist of 80% govern- ment licensed men holding a Class B amateur radio license or better. The call letters of this organization, W9YW, were obtained from the Federal Communications Commission in 1933. All Chapters of Rho Epsilon are a part of the National Intercollegiate Press Association. • 175 • OFFICERS Master Alchemist . Berndt K. Lyckberg Vice-Master Alchemist. Chester A.

The organi- zation 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 group of seventeen profes- sional chapters. 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 organization. The value of affiliation with such a fraternity was apparent to members 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. • 177 • BLACK KNIGHT HONORARY MEMBERS C. A. Tibbals J. J. Schommer P. C. Huntly H. T.

The Interfraternity Council regulates affairs of common interest to the fraternities, including all forms of interfraternity competition, as sports, the fraternity sing, rushing, and scholarship. The president of each recognized fraternity is that fraternity's repre- sentative to the Council. It is through this representative that every fraternity has a voice in interfraternity affairs.

The purpose of this organization was to establish and promote general good feeling toward co-operation in all interfraternity competitions. With these ideals in mind, Beta Omega Nu proceeded to carry out its plans. After a year's trial the officers of the Institute ex- tended permission to form an official interfraternity society, so on Jan- uary 18, 1939, Beta Omega Nu was granted a charter as a duly recognized organization. Eligibility for membership in the fraternity is limited to active mem- bers of each of the six social fraternities. The member must have com- pleted at least one year of study at the Institute. All candidates must be outstanding men in their respective fraternities, and leaders on the campus. The fraternity is limited to a maximum of five members from each social fraternity. • 181 • OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester John C.

The parent chapter's constitution provided for 'branch societies,” but it was not until two and one half years after the founding of the first chapter that a second chapter was established at Princeton University. Soon many chapters had been placed in the South, and the fraternity was expanding rapidly. The occurrence of the Civil War had disastrous effects upon the fraternity, as it almost instantane- ously destroyed half the strength of the organization. Anti-fraternity laws were being enforced at many colleges at this time, and this second blow caused the fraternity to fight for its life. The organization was undaunted by these setbacks and continued its enlargement. Any local organiza- tion desiring a charter must have existed locally for two years. The chapter roll now lists thirty-nine active chapters, located on prominent college and university campuses. • 183 • Alpha.........................................University of Pennsylvania Delta..................................Washington and Jefferson College Epsilon................................................Dickinson College Zeta........................................Franklin and Marshall College Eta..................................................University of Virginia Theta.....................................................Kenyon College Lambda....................................University of North Carolina Mu........................................................Tulane University Nu.....................................................................Duke University Omicron............................................University of Oklahoma Rho...................................................University of Illinois Tau..............................................Randolph-Macon College Upsilon.............................................Northwestern University Phi...........................................University of Richmond Psi...........................................Pennsylvania State College Alpha Alpha...............................Washington and Lee University Alpha Beta.........................................University of Toronto Alpha Psi......................University of California at Los Angeles Alpha Omega...............................University of British Columbia Alpha Gamma........................................West Virginia University Alpha Delta..........................................University of Maine Alpha Epsilon............................Armour Institute of Technology Alpha Zeta....................................University of Maryland Alpha Eta.................................University of South Carolina Alpha Theta...................................University of Wisconsin Alpha lota............................................Vanderbilt University Alpha Kappa...................................University of Alabama Alpha Lambda..................................University of California Alpha Mu...........................Massachusetts Institute of Technology Alpha Nu.....................................Georgia School of Technology Alpha Xi..................................................Purdue University Alpha Omicron.................................University of Michigan Alpha Pi......................................University of Chicago Alpha Rho................................................Cornell University Alpha Sigma...................................University of Minnesota Alpha Tau...................................Leland Stanford Jr. University Alpha Upsilon.................................University of Washington Alpha Phi.....................................State University of Iowa Alpha Chi.....................................Ohio State University • 184 • Phi Kap Activities In 1896 fifteen men formed the Paragraph Club, for the purpose of developing the social side of life at Armour.

The Rainbow, the first distinctly Southern fraternity, united with Delta Tau Delta in 1886 after negotiations of much length. The Rainbow had been founded since 1848, and the union of the two societies considerably strengthened the younger organization. To honor the older order, the name of the official journal of the fraternity was named The Rainbow. The growth of the fraternity was from the first a rather rapid one, and after the consolidation with Rainbow the rate of expansion increased greatly. Delta Tau Delta is now an international organization with sev- enty-four active chapters and many alumni chapters throughout the country. The alumni organization acts as a constant guide and help to the undergraduate chapters. • 187 • SOUTHERN DIVISION Pi...................University of Mississippi Phi . . .

Reorganization of the club took place the same year, and the name was changed to Consonant Club. Soon the membership included fifteen men, two of whom were members of Delta Tau Delta. In February of 1901 a petition for a charter was presented to Delta Tau Delta. On May 10, 1901, Gamma Beta of Delta Tau Delta was officially installed at Armour Institute. • 189 • First Semester Anthony Giovan ............... Richard W. Young.............. Ralph W.

Durkee Ambrose Durlcee Giovan Grate Gruetzmacher Hruda Mangan Mock Peterson Stein Wolf On April 29, 1864, at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the fraternity of Theta Xi was formed by eight students of the school. All eight founders were formerly members of the Sigma Alpha fraternity. For many years membership in Theta Xi was limited to students of engineering and science. The fraternity in 1926 evinced its desire to select its membership from all branches of learning. Since that time Theta Xi has taken its place as a national general fraternity. The result of this decision has been the enlarging of the organization, and it now numbers thirty-three active chapters. Omega Lambda, the first local fraternity on the Armour campus, was organized in 1904. The fraternity soon became established as one of the most progressive organizations at Armour. As the organization be- came stronger, the members decided on affiliation with a national society, and in 1922 the local fraternity became Alpha Gamma Chapter of Theta Xi. • 191 • OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester Thomas Collier.............................President......................Richard A.

The original intention was that the fraternity should be a graduate organ- ization. The society retained its graduate standing until 1923. when the first undergraduate chapter was formed at Northwestern University. After Phi Pi Phi became an undergraduate social fraternity, it expanded carefully. Many of the new chapters were long established locally, and had a solid foundation along with campus traditions of their own. Some of these chapters had been in existence for thirty years before receiving their charter. Four officers of the national council of the fraternity, elected by the biennial national convention, conduct the administrative affairs of the organization. The executive office is located in Chicago, the birthplace of the fraternity. The Interfraternity Conference, in 1924, elected Phi Pi Phi to a junior membership and in 1929 made it a senior member. The chapter roll now numbers twenty chapters. • 193 • CHAPTER ROLL Alpha.........................................Northwestern University Beta...........................................University of Chicago Gamma.................................Armour Institute of Technology Delta...............................................University of Illinois Epsilon..............................................Washburn College Zeta...........................................University of Wisconsin Eta.................................................University of Utah Theta.........................................University of California lota..........................................Washington and Jefferson Lambda................................Case School of Applied Science Mu..........................................Baldwin-Wallace College Nu....................................Westminster, New Wilmington Xi......................................North Carolina State College Omicron........................................University of Mississippi Pi......................................University of South Carolina Rho.........................................St. Lawrence University Sigma.......................................Pennsylvania State College Tau............................................University of Tennessee Upsilon..........................................Oregon State College Phi ..................................................Purdue University o 194 • Tv o years after the founding of Beta Phi in 1911 at the University of Chicago, a charter was granted by that organization to an Armour society. This chapter had many successful years at Armour, even after the collapse of the national organization during the war. Despite this success the members desired the advantages of a national organization. In 1923 Phi Pi Phi granted a charter to the local organization, thus making it Gamma Chapter of that national fraternity. OFFICERS First Semester I. Erwin SchlifIce Alan Levenberg Robert S.

The incep- tion of the organization was largely due to the desire of the founders to organize Jewish students of good character to spread the doctrines of fraternalism and self-development. Nationalization of the fraternity was not at first considered, and the second chapter was not founded until 1913. Once extension started, it continued rapidly and the fra- ternity is now national in scope. On February 5, 1922, the Ohr Club of Armour Institute, which had been active on the campus for some years, became Sigma Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu. The acceptance of the club’s petition brought the largest Jewish fraternity in the United States to the Armour Campus. Sigma Epsilon Chapter has always co-operated closely with the chapters of other midwestern schools. • 197 • OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester Edward X.

Every succeeding active chapter of the fraternity has en- deavored to carry on the ideals and spirit of the founders. Rho Delta Rho was chartered in the state of Illinois on August 27, 1919. A year later a petition for the recognition as a local fraternity was accepted and the organization became established on the Armour Campus. The membership of the fraternity has greatly increased since its foundation. The members of the Alumni Chapter of the fraternity have carried the spirit of the original founders with them even after the close of their college careers. The Alumni Chapter meets once each month, and its membership includes most of the graduates of the Alpha Chapter of Rho Delta Rho. • ! ) • OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester Don C.

Though a fraternity of engineers, duplica- tion of membership with other college fraternities is not permitted. Al- though the fraternity was at first limited to civil engineering students, the membership requirements have since been broadened to include all op- tions of engineering students. This was done because the purpose of the organization was the development of fraternal life, not only among the members of a single course, but among all engineering students. Triangle is the sole social fraternity selecting its members from students in a four or five year engineering course. The Scroll and Triangle, the local fraternity from which the Armour Chapter of Triangle was formed, was composed of six students who had united because of similar ideals. In 1923, after one year as a local fraternity, the Scroll and Triangle was granted a charter as a chapter of Triangle Fraternity. • 201 • OFFICERS First Semester Second Semester Raymond A.

South Carolina. The foundation for the fraternity was so securely laid that of all the fraternities founded in South Carolina, Pi Kappa Phi alone survived. Rigid anti-fraternity legislation in that state made very unfavorable conditions for the growth of fraternal organiza- tions. The organization has had a natural growth and though it has been more pronounced in the South, it has never been confined to that district. The founding of a chapter at the University of California in 1909 was a very important step in the fraternity's history. It led to the chartering of five other chapters west of the Mississippi, and brought into the fra- ternity new leaders and a new energy which has meant much in shaping its policies. Pi Kappa Phi now has a roll of thirty-eight chapters. • 203 • CHAPTER ROLL Alpha..........................................College of Charleston Beta . .

Until 1935 Beta Psi was an influential fraternity on the Armour Campus. In that year the organization was absorbed by the national Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, after the two fraternities had agreed that their individual ideals were similar. Thus, on May 5, 1935, Alpha Phi Chapter of Pi Kappa Phi took the place of Beta Chapter of Beta Psi. • 20S • Tradition established the rule that graduates from a school do not leave their alma mater behind them. For this reason alumni associations have been formed all over the country. Armour has long lived up to the tradition. Membership in Armour's Alumni Association is open to graduates, those who take advanced degrees, and any student who takes one year in the regular four year course. Active membership is maintained by payment of annual dues, non-paying members holding associate memberships. One of the most important functions of the association is publishing the Engineer and Alumnus, boasting a circulation of over 20.000. Few students realize the tremendous value of this magazine in acquainting the country with Armour. It is sent to all paying alumni and many industrial leaders as well. This spreads Armour's reputation all over the land. Another valuable function is the keeping of a student loan fund from the sale of life memberships in the association. Senior students may borrow from the fund in case of need. Placement records of each graduate are kept by the association to aid in getting jobs. This placement service lasts for life and is given free of charge. Records are also kept of the addresses and activities of the graduates for publication in the Engineer. In this way the alumni are always held together by a natural, friendly bond. OFFICERS John J. Schommer.' 12............... J. Warren McCaffery, '22............ William N.

Located in the southwest corner of the Union build- ing, the club provides a place for Armour's professors to relax in their spare moments. Open periods, lunch hours and afternoons find the club well filled with men, enjoying a friendly game of bridge or billiards, read- ing their favorite magazines, or just talking things over. When the Union was being remodeled the faculty club did its part by purchasing the pine boards with which to finish off the walls of the new faculty grill. This attractive room provides the ideal place to enter- tain men who come as visitors to Armour. The club itself is walled with oak planks, giving it a distinguished appearance akin to thaf of an old English meeting place, but lending, at the same time, the intellectual touch. • 207 • n u.

A new record for membership enrollment was enjoyed by the Armour branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers this year. The exceptional increase of membership has placed the Armour branch as the second largest in the United States. Regularly throughout the year bi-monthly meetings were held with a marked, large student participation in the activities. The programs con- sisted of talks by outside speakers, movies, and slides, and were prepared carefully with a view to bringing before the organization the outstanding men and material on subjects which would prove both valuable and inter- esting to the entire membership.

The annual smoker was held November 2, 1938, in the Electrical Lec- ture Room. The chief speaker of the evening was Dr. Reed, a new member of the electrical engineering department. The discussion was made interesting mainly because Dr. Reed related his own experiences in connection with the topic, Generating Stations. The remainder of the evening was spent in a lighter vein, featuring a Monte Carlo party. Row I: Kotal. Strocchia. Quarnstrom. Chevalley. Freeman, Hebson. Ropek, Brewster, Kurtz. Osterberg.

However, in 1935, the membership was made open to students of all departments, in keeping with the policy of the parent organization. This served merely as a gesture, because the society has since remained as predominantly Civil as before. The general program for the year has been, in conjunction with ordi- nary activities of the society, one of taking steps toward the reorganiza- tion into an all-department engineering society. Meetings with represen- tatives of all departments were held and finally, on March 6, 1939, tenta- tive by-laws were approved by these representatives. A brief outline of these by-laws is as follows: Membership limited to various engineering societies. Management by board of managers consisting of two members from each society. Dues to consist of nominal fees per year levied upon the various engineering societies qualifying all members. The election of the board of managers will take place upon the com- plete ratification of the by-laws. It is not to be thought, however, that the Civils will cease to have an engineering society. The Civil Engineers have received the approval of a petition for a student branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers and expect to carry on their functions through that society. • 213 • I n. • j • AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS Row I: Peterson, Isakson, Morris.

The chapter, the second student branch of the society in existence, has since grown to be a large organization, the present membership consisting of over seventy. The rapid expansion of the organization is due primarily to the efforts of the counsellor. Professor Harry McCormack, whose suggestions and criticisms have formed its foundations. Row I: Coyle.

By means of this extensive program it is felt that the society has successfully upheld the basic purposes of its formation. These are, namely, that of bringing the members into closer contact with men experienced in the field of fire protection engineering and fire insurance, and of foster- ing a spirit of fellowship among the students of the department. The lectures were given by speakers connected with all phases of the field, v ho presented their views and experiences at the regular bi-monthly meetings of the society. The first speaker of the year was Mr. Kent Parker of the Western Actuarial Bureau. His subject was Dust Produc- ing Industries and Their Fire Protection. He emphasized the fact that it is secondary explosions in a plant that do the real damage. Therefore, cleanliness is very necessary. The second guest speaker of the year was Mr. J. T. Babcock. Mr. Babcock, an air conditioning expert for the Western Factory Insurance Association, discussed the hazards of air conditioning as regards the air intakes, air filters, and ducts. He suggested many protective measures for each. On November 4, 1938. members of the society were treated to an interesting lecture by Mr. Abel Gent, a representative of the Illinois Inspection Bureau. After his discussion on Town Classification he dis- played all of his equipment, such as pitot tubes, gages, etc. One of the newer angles in the insurance business was brought to light by Mr. Carl Herbst when he spoke to the society about Fire Insurance Appraisals. It was interesting to know that a special slide rule is needed in his work. At the annual smoker held on the night of February 15. in the lounge of the new Student Union, the honor student of the class of '42 was presented with a copy of the Crosby-Fiske-Forster Handbook of Fire Protection. • 217 • On March 16 of this year a meet- ing was held, at which time the members voted to reorganize the Armour Architectural Society. The result, under the new constitution, was that all classes are represented in the governing body. The govern- ing body, the board of control, con- sists of two men from each class, as- sisted by a faculty advisor. The oriqinal society was organized in 1924. Row I: Umbright. Moore. Street. Fox.

SOCIETY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF MANAGEMENT President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Thomas Collier Irving Footlik John Barale Bernard Oswald In keeping with the trend in engineering schools, Armour Institute of Technology has been continually adding to its curriculum subjects in the field of management. This has created a demand for a society where the students can meet and discuss the problems of management and keep informed as to the progress in the field. It is with this view in mind that a chapter of the Society for the Advancemenf of Managemenf has been organized. • ?I9 • J OFFICERS President..........................................William Mashinter Secretary-Manager...................................August Galandak Treasurer...............................................Albert Barry Captain.............................................Arthur Dempsey Range Officer.......................................George Bjornstad Executive Committee ....

Through the whole-hearted co-operation and enthusiasm of the various members, the Rifle Team had one of its most successful years in its history. Much of the credit for the Rifle Team record goes to its secretary and manager, Gus Galandak, for his untiring efforts in securing matches. Top team man in these matches continues to be William Mashinter, who proceeds to greater skill with unerring accuracy. A much improved R. Z. Miller did much to bring up the team's average. One of the greatest losses that the team must suffer will be the graduation of George Bjorn- stad. whose knowledge of guns, ammunition, and ballistics borders on the professional.

The Armour Eye was founded at Armour Institute of Technology on December 16. 1936, by a number of students whose interests and abilities inclined toward the photographic field. During the past year the club has completed an interesting series of lectures and demonstrations given by men prominent in their field. The lectures were given at monthly meetings, during the evening. Print competitions were held each month among the members and were criti- cized and judged by one of the lecturers. An interesting and informative program of activities has been planned for the coming year. Through an increase in equipment and membership, plans are being formulated to have a greater variety of print competitions among the club members and competitions with other similar organi- zations. • 221 • SNA' ARMOUR INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY CHICAGO Key I.
