Under his direction, we have seen our school develop and expand. — its Research Foundation, its Graduate Di- vision, and its college, all have stepped the path of progress. As Freshman Dean in 1933 and Undergraduate Dean from 1934 to 1938, President Heald proved himself an able champion of undergraduate life. Generous in his counsel, sympathetic in his discipline, his appointment to the presidency was considered a serious loss to the under- graduate school. To his position as administrator, President Heald brings not only the warmth and enthusiasm of the able executive, but also an incontestible faith in the strength and destiny of the institute; our future under his leadership is certain of success.

Famed in alumni annals for his chemis- try lectures, remembered as the steady- ing hand and driving force of under- graduate life. Dr. Tibbals fills the chair of Undergraduate Dean with a paternal ' sincerity and humor. Joining the Institute as instructor more than thirty years ago. Dean Tibbals since that time has filled numerous posi- tions both in academic and administra- tive work. His appointment as Under- graduate Dean brought to the office a rare combination of patience, tolerance, and understanding. To many of us he represents Armour, her progress in the past, her present, and her future in a world of technics and science. 20 DEAN OF THE EVENING DIVISION HENRY POST DUTTON Henry Post Dutton, Dean of the Evening Divi- sion of Armour Institute, is a man of v ide and diversified experience. After having held nu- merous executive positions in industry and commerce, he came to Armour in 1934 as lec- turer in Management and, two years later, was appointed to the chairmanship of the Depart- ment of the Social Sciences. In 1938 he ac- cepted the position of Dean of the Evening Divi- sion in addition to his work as departmental head. Able and efficient, Mr. Dutton brings to his post the acuteness born of experience and the academic integrity of the scholar and teacher.

Her youth to labor, seeking far beyond; Armour, spirit aflame; Armour, glorious thy name. Armour, may thine honor be. Thy sons' achievements, over land and sea. Visions of progress, these are all thine own; Armour, spirit aflame; Armour, glorious thy name. The Research Foundation of Armour Institute of Technology was estab- lished primarily to carry out investigations of an advanced nature for industrial concerns and public bodies. Close contact and cooperation between the Foundation and industry since its formation have resulted in the develop- ment of many new basic processes and methods. The Research Foundation operates, without apparent limit, in all fields of science. Listed among the available laboratories are those for coal re- search, electronics, filtration, heat transfer, spectroscopy, extreme high pressure work and a precision machine-shop. The well-publicized Snow Cruiser, sponsored by the Foundation and built with the cooperation of industry, is now at the South Pole, under the command of Admiral Byrd. The designer. Dr. Thomas C. Poulter, is Director of Research at the Foundation. Many of the staff members of the Foundation are faculty members of the Institute. These men parallel their work in the class room with special investigations in their particular fields. This strong reciprocal tie between the College and the Research Foundation fulfills a vital need in the plan to make the Institute a truly comprehensive school of engineering and forms an important bond between the College and the industries it will man.

Moidocai Totem 40 President WILLIAM E. MACKEY A nod of a grayed head. A mumble, I never thought he'd make it. A sigh of relief. All this emanated from various members of the faculty as President Heald presented to us our degree and lustily shook our hand. We, however, had survived four tumultuous years of study and play. The faculty had not only also survived the ordeal, but will continue its struggle with youth for many years to come. We recognize the insurmountable debt that we owe to these men of learning. Armour and the class of '40 must part. Sym- bolically we enter new eras of exploit together. We, the last class to graduate from Armour Institute, salute the new and mightier Illinois Institute of Technology. 42 Eugene Worcester SENIOR COMMITTEES Troasuror Vice-President Secretary ANNOUNCEMENT HEENAN, HORN.

Surely there wasn't any- thing to equal this thrill since we had ridden the Skyride at the Fair in '33. We were back for our third registration, but already the difference was noticeable. As surely as v e rose in body physi- cally that day, so had we climbed to ecstatic heights spiritually. As v e glanced about we noted that those two destructive demons, calculus and physics, had taken their toll among our thinning ranks.

FRESHMAN OFFICERS September, 1939, brought war to the world and September, 1939, brought the class of '43 to Armour. Motivated by unseen and inde- scribable forces we were brought to the battle front as cannon fodder to be fed to the guns of learning and knowledge. Captained by Dean Tibbals and Miss Orcutt, we battled three days to emerge victorious. First blood had been drawn and our niche in the building of knowl- edge was being carved by young and inex- perienced members of our class. New stickers blossomed forth on our heavily laden brief cases to remind all that we were Techawks. Techawks, who are to chal- lenge the world in the future with bigger bridges, gigantic dynamos, and stupendous dams; engineers who are to lay the founda- tions for the cities of the future. All was not work, however, for we wel- comed the privilege to participate in the social and athletic activities at Armour. The end of the semester saw us firmly entrenched in our place, and the class of '43 was an ac- cepted part of Armour. 72 CM . ,,v- .. ?io oU C QodUoV- O'Oo l' fcB ' Seconal ' Sc °° vfov� °n- a 0 Co $£ � ■ Second Row: Murrin.

Armour Co-op students are eagerly looking forward to February. 1941, when the efforts of the first group of students to enter the co- operative plan offered by the Institute will culminate an intensive five year period of theoretical and practical training. At that time'this pioneer group will be eligible for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechani- cal Engineering. The Co-ops now at full strength, numbering four hundred in all. have become a part of Armour in its fullest meaning. They are no longer a separate and distinct group, set apart from the rest of the student body. These men have joined and assumed leadership in many athletics and extra-curricular activities about the school. Second Row: Boyor, Hansen, Buchhass, Bosanac, Webb.

CO-OP OFFICERS With the formation of the Co-op Club, a closer bond between the various classes was established. Under the guidance of the Co-op Club, the Co-op students have availed themselves of the many dances, smokers, and inspection trips offered them. Cognizant of their novel position in al- ternating between their jobs in industry and school work, the Armour Co-ops have succeeded in drawing closer the breach between practice and theory. In February, employee and employer joined hands at a banquet to acknowl- edge the success of this new program of learning. It is to James D. Cunning- ham, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Armour Institute, and General Thomas S. Hammond, President of the Illinois Manufacturers' Association, founding fa- thers of the Armour Co-op Plan, that the Armour Co-operative students ov e a debt of gratitude. 76 Second Row: J. C. Hill.

Huntly John I. Schommer Charles A. Tibbals I. Clark R. Larson The Armour Tech Sudent Association is the administrative body of the under- graduate college. Composed of two men from each of the upper classes, a single representative for each of the under classes, and five faculty members, it is in charge of the allocation of all stu- dent funds. Its principal responsibility is the operation of all athletic activities. Sweater awards, and intramural hon- ors are within its jurisdiction. The CYCLE and the Armour Tech News re- ceive their funds from it, as well as the Musical Clubs and a number of other student organizations. Instituted several years ago, the an- nual Fathers and Sons banquet, spon- sored by this organization, has been a highly successful means for bringing together at the Institute the student and the principal behind him. Here dads meet the faculty as well as each other. With the broadening of campus activ- ities each year, the need for student expression and faculty cooperation has grown to where this group exercises a most important function in Institute af- fairs. 85 THE 1940 E. Worooslor R. Erisman The publication of the CYCLE is not the task of a single person, nor even of a few. To be sure, the editor must organize his material and keep production up to schedule, but the real bulk of the work is handled by his staff. This editor is greatly indebted to the men who have given their time and talent in producing this edition. The artists, writers, photographers, business assistants ... all who have contributed many hours and many more ideas toward making this a better book. The cooperation of the faculty, photographer, and en- graver, as well as the entire student body, has been a vital factor in making possible the 1940 CYCLE. It is the hope of all who have helped in its production, that it will be remembered long and often referred to as an outstand- ing account of the life on and off campus here at Armour Tech. d 86 C Y C L E THE STAFF Eugene Worcester Ralph Erisman Editor Business Manager ASSISTANTS TO THE EDITOR Arthur Hansen Sidney Silverman Robert Lange Lionel Naum lames Waber Harri§ Zimmerman William Horton Ernest Mandel Warren Spitz Robert Rose Raymond Kaeding Walter Dahl Robert Kohn Eugene Kalnin Edward Center Robert Greenberg Fred DeMoney Rudolph Zoellner Arthur Hauswald Forrest Wolf Robert Mahassek Art Editor Art Editor ASSISTANTS Charles Kulieke Julius Mirotsnic Ludwick Blumberg Leonard Reinke Marshall Salzman ASSISTANTS TO THE BUSINESS MANAGER William Yeager Carl Anderson Donald Crego DeMoney Mandel Horton Naum Yeager Greenberg Lange Waber 87 THE ARMOUR Hunter Slavin Fahey Opila Bartusek DeMoney Woods Aberer THE STAFF EDITORIAL Thomas Hunter Francis Opila James Fahey Robert Bartusek Arthur Hansen Peter Woods Eugene Kalnin Irvin Dzikowski Joseph Aberer Robert Mead Walter Hendricks Editor in Chief Managing Editor Sports Editor News Editor Feature Editor Rewrite Editor Copy Editor Desk Editor Assignment Editor Assignment Editor Faculty Adviser ASSISTANTS Frank Hull, Herman Krantz, Edward Han- uska, Arthur Minwegen, Fred Prather, Charles Schultz, Sid Silverman, George Frost, Sidney Heenan, Dan Brown, Tom Brown, Marvin Camras, Ernest Colant, Ed Francone, Ed Gruca, Michael Kunz, Don Mackey, Charles McAleer, Bud Murray, Warren Spitz, Bob Underhill, Jim Waber, Bernard Chertow, Don Crego, John Gold- en, Herman Tachau, Floyd Anderson, Fred DeMoney, Art Hauswald, Harold Cortez.

With this need in mind, the first issue of the Armour Tech News appeared April 9, 1928, under the guidance of Professor Walter Hendricks and the sponsorship of Sphinx, honorary literary society. It pledged . . our only aim will be the aim of our great Institute. 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.” Since then the paper has constantly grown and flourished until today its dis- tribution represents a high point in the campus week. A new staff is elected each year to manage the af- fairs of the paper. Each has added its individual touch to the style and formation of the News and has left the mark of its personality upon the paper. The average student little realizes the enormous amount of work and time which goes into the pub- lication of an issue. Assignments, coverage of news sources, writing of the stories, proof-reading, re- writing, linotyping, checking for linotype errors, re- setting. final checking, page makeup, page proof- reading. printing, and final distribution to students ... all of these must be done weekly by the staff. General news, sports, editorials, and the never ending specials and features all help to make the final paper. Tom Hunter and his hard working staff combined to make the thirty-one issues of 1939-40, including the scoop” edition announcing the Armour-Lewis merger, a great success. The new staff, headed by Peter Woods, bids fair to maintain those standards and practices which have made the News an inseparable companion of student ac- tivities. 89 THE ARMOUR ENGINEER and ALUMNUS October, December, March, and May—these are the sig- nificant months of the years for the now thirty-one year old Armour Engineer and Alumnus. It is during these months that its twenty-five thousand copies reach out to all corners of the globe and bring to alumni, students, and friends news and comment upon the work at the Institute. To countless others it brings articles of current interest on technical and semi-technical subjects. The Engineer is received by leading scientific libraries the world over. Our own national scientific societies also include this outstanding publication on their shelves. Its seasonal out- door scene and dashing band of color across the cover are familiar to all its readers. Its contents are eagerly scanned by the alumni for news of their former fellow students and of the latest progress of the Institute. The features, written in popular tempo, serve to focus interest on engineering accomplishments and, in particular, upon Armour's contribution to industrial and scientific progress. Serving thus the dual purpose of integrating alumni activ- ity and publicizing the work of the Institute, the Engineer has achieved a definite and necessary position in the program and future of the school.

Meyer 90 Little known to the average student, the Student Publications Advisory Committee, in its sixth year of operation, continues to unobtrusively guide the destinies of campus literature. Three former com- mittees. functioning prior to 1934, headed the Cycle, the Armour Tech News, and the Engineer and Alumnus. Each committee was composed of faculty advisors and the student editorial board of the pub- lication. Large and unwieldy, the committees had no factor of coordination or cooperation and were unable to satisfactority settle questions of general policy and plan. To eliminate these evils, the Advisory Commit- tee was established in 1934 as an effective means of integrating the work of the publications. Headed by Professor Walter Hendricks, and consisting of Professors Billy Goetz and W. W. Colvert, it has established a systematic budget apportionment and has clarified individual editorial policy and scope. In keeping with the purpose of the campus stu- dent publications, the advisory committee has main- tained a policy of nonintervention as regards the actual production of the various student literary activities. The responsibility, both editorial and business, of organizing, editing, and producing is purposely relegated to the students in charge, mak- ing the Armour Tech News and CYCLE completely the result of student endeavor. Inactivity on the part of the advisory committee is not to be presumed in their course of refraining from dictating the policies and practices of the campus publications. Each year they offer invalu- able advice to inexperienced staffs, especially in matters regarding the financial aspect of production in which they are especially well qualified through their years of experience on the committee.

Gordon Erickson. Director 92 CLUBS Armour Institute has always mantained a justifiable pride in its musical clubs. The fine quality of the men and the high calibre of their work is truly a credit to the Alma Mater. The combined enrollment of one hundred and fifteen members, of which forty are in the orchestra and seventy-five in the glee club, proves that even at an engineering school students are interested in the fine arts. To sub- stantiate this statement is the splendid recep- tion that the Armour student body always gives the orchestra and glee club at every home concert. Since 1933 Mr. O. Gordon Erickson has di- rected the clubs. His splendid leadership comes primarily from his excellent and broad musical background, and secondly from a congenial personality that wins the respect and admiration of every member of the clubs and of the audience for whom they perform. Presenting a wide and entertaining program, which included several novelty acts, the clubs had many engagements during the year. Two men who never failed to stop the show were the Mad Russians , Ted Gromak and Herb Hansen. With Herb behind the accordian and Ted on his mandolin, they danced and sang familiar Russian songs. Other soloists were Bernard Domenz, tenor; Robert Hemman, bass; Robert Scott, tenor; Harold Doolittle, trumpet; Donald Charlton, trombone; Peter Woods, oboe; Gus Mustakus, violin; William Mashint- er, violin; and John Segner, drums. The ensemble in both the glee club and orchestra has been developed to a fine de- gree, and in all their concerts both combina- tions have pleased the most exacting critics.

A student or- ganization from director to stage hand, it produced two hit sellouts this season. Brother Rat , staged last fall, brought salvos of applause and ac- claim to the entire troupe for an evening of pleasure and good playing. Spring brought the casting of Room Service , another current and popular stage hit. The triumvirate of Charlie Schultz. Bemie Sternfeld and Bob Underhill is largely responsible for the successful production of these plays. Schultz in the role of Little Orson , did the directing, while Underhill dashed and pro- duced as stage manager. Sternfeld watched the purse strings, brought crowds to the doors and a balance to the treasury. To top the evening's entertain- ment, the Players gave an informal dance following each production.

Important steps toward the provision of added facilities during the past year have included the con- version of the second floor southwest room in the Union into a rest room for ill students and the acquisition of ping pong tables and rub- ber mats to convert room U2E into a game room. The purchasing and placing of the new trophy cases in the main student lounge and the handling and purchasing of new records for the radio-victrola in the lounge, with the purchase of a filing cabinet for the phono- graph records have enhanced the lounge and given many hours of musical enjoyment. THE BOARD Don Sunde, senior Charles McAleer, junior Earle Huxhold, sophomore Richard Malquist. freshman Frank Heidenreich, co-op David Whittingham, co-op Bernard Weissman, manager The guiding hands behind the operation of the new Student Union belong to the men who comprise the managing board. Composed of seven student members and one faculty man- ager and advisor, these men determine the vari- ous policies for the administration of the build- ing. Rules of conduct that the students must follow when using the Union, amounts of money to be spent for improvements around the build- ing from time to time, and the allotment of rooms for student activities, are among its many duties. 96 WE i STE R N 5 SOCIETY O F : ENGINE S E R S Reorganized both in purpose and scope, the Western Society of Engi- neers now stands a finished product, a functioning universal engineering society and a tribute to the spirit of co-operation existing between the va- rious departmental societies. The reorganization was started in 1935. but the final steps toward com- pletion of the present society were taken largely within the past year. Under the present plan, the govern- ing body consists of two representa- tives elected from each of the engi- neering societies. These ten men in turn elect their own officers to carry out the program of the society. Best known of the society's activi- ties are the general assemblies and the notable guest speakers which it has secured. During the last year such eminent figures as the Abbe Dimnet, noted French author and philosopher, and Carl Van Doren, fa- mous biographer, have appeared on its programs. In general, the Western Society of Engineers concerns itself with mat- ters in which each of the depart- ments has an interest, but which may be better pursued by the united effort provided by the organization.

It was in that year that the parent society granted a charter to a local organization known as the Senior Mechanical Society. This society, founded in 1905, confined active membership to senior mechanical engineering students and extended associate membership to men who had completed the first semester of the Junior year in the mechanical engineering option. At the present time, all mechanical engineering students, with the exception of freshmen, are eligible for membership. Since the granting of the Armour Student Branch charter, which has been held con- tinuously since 1910, the Branch has progressed steadily, and a well-balanced program has gradually been developed. Outside speakers and motion pictures are presented during the year in order that the organization may benefit from the valuable and interest- ing knowledge that these sources offer. In addition, student speakers are encouraged to report on material gathered through personal research, reading, and experience. For the purpose of exhibiting the industrial side of mechanical engineering, frequent in- spection trips through manufacturing plants are scheduled, and plans are now being made to establish these inspection trips as an approved course for seniors, carrying regular college credit. The highlight of the year's activity came on April 15 and 16, 1940, at the Stevens Hotel, when Armour acted as host at the annual convention of the Midwest Student Branch, a group comprised of representatives of sixteen colleges in five middle western states.

Beta Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers dates from 1923, when it was organized at Armour in conformance with the purpose of the society to promote a closer union between the students in Chemical Engineering and to acquaint them with men active in the profession. The society has grown rapidly, largely due to the interest of the students and especially of the faculty. Typical of the faculty interest in the organization is the constant advice, criticism, and flow of suggestions which have come from the society counsellor. Professor Harry McCormack, during the years since its founding. The bi-monthly meetings of the A. I. Ch. E. constitute its principal activities during the school year. At times on the program a student speaker will appear, though more often, someone with wide experience in a particular field discusses some interesting phase of chemistry or the chemical engineering profession. During the past year, the society has been privileged to hear a number of men representing many of the country's leading industrial organizations. Among the speakers were Dr. Bergman, who spoke on oil cracking processes and automatic control methods used in petroleum refining; Mr. Thompson, of the Corning Glass Company, who explained the manufacture of industrial glassware; and Dr. Freud, of the Institute faculty, who spoke on Chemical Warfare , and its relation to industrial chemistry. The growing interest in meetings has resulted in an increased enrollment in the chapter during the past year. The managing committee has added movies to the program to illustrate the topics of discussion and stimulate interest, especially among the lower class- men, in the opportunities the chapter offers to the student in chemical engineering. CHEMICAL ENGINEERS 101 OFFICERS Aloysius Veras Ben Cole Kenneth Oldenburg George Frost Ernest Freeman President Vice President Treasurer Secretary Faculty Adviser The American Institute of Electrical Engineers is an organization, national in scope, representing the electrical profession. It was founded in 1884. The society aims to advance the theory and practice of electrical engineering and of allied arts and sciences, to main- tain a high professional standing among its members, and to develop the individual engineer. It has been a contributing factor in the remarkable progress that has taken place in the electrical field during the last four decades and has done much in advancing the interests of not only its members, but the entire engineering profession. All branches of electrical engineering are represented in the membership. Meetings for the presentation and discussion of technical papers and other matters pertaining to the profession are held by the original society in New York and the eighty-six branch organizations located in the principal electrical centers of the country. The same practice is followed in the student branches which are found in the engineering colleges of the nation. An annual convention and additional special conventions, as authorized by the board of directors, are held in different parts of the country. The policy of co-operation with other engineering societies in matters of mutual interest is promoted by means of joint meetings, and through other opportunities which present themselves. The Federal government has often invited the Institute to appoint representa- tives and committees to co-operate with governmental branches and they have appeared before congressional and other legislative bodies on subjects concerning the interest of the engineering profession. The Institute provides opportunity for the interchange of ideas, the presentation, discus- sion and publication of papers, the formulation of standards and codes, the advancement of ideals, and the cultivation of the spirit of co-operation. Seeking these advantages, a group of students of the electrical department organized the Armour Branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1903. The original purpose of the society has been carried out by the student branch this year by means of student talks, professional talks, and several social functions.

Organized November 11, 1913, through the sponsorship of interested faculty and students, the Fire Protection Engineering Society has played an interesting role in the departmental life of the students. The need for a means of bringing together the men of all classes to meetings of common interest was recognized by the society founders twenty-seven years ago. The society promotes not only functions of a primarily academic nature, but endeavors to sponsor a social program as well, in the interest of good fellowship. Regular meetings are held bi-monthly, and are under the direction of the student officers. The speakers, representing all phases of the insurance field, are chosen for their ability to bring subjects of interest and educational value to the fire protection students. The program during the past year was especially varied in this respect, with the presentation of talks by men from the safety, engineering, sales, and adjustment phases of insurance. The social pro- gram was headed by a smoker for all society members v ith a special invitation to freshmen. Movies and other varied amusements, awarding of honors and refreshments highlighted the evening's activities. FIRE P R O T E C T I O N 104 Top Row: Flood, Maxwell. Hassell.

The American Society of Civil Engineers is one of the oldest and most active of engineering societies in the country. Its representation on the Armour campus, though comparatively recent, is a most active one. Previous to 1939, the Civil Engineering students carried on their departmental society activities through the Western Society of Engineers. Handicapped by the inappropriateness of this organization for their specific need, they petitioned for membership in the A. S. C. E. and were installed as a regular student chapter in March, 1939. The establishment of the exclusively civil engineering society brought a renewed interest among the department students to attend meetings and support the society's functions. The past year has seen a program of varied and especially interesting speakers on all phases of civil engineering. A number of programs were illustrated with moving pictures to make the subject a clearer and more interesting one through visualiza- tion of the speaker's ideas and explanations. Among the purposes of this society is that of the promotion of both the professional and social interests of its members. At meetings the members are encouraged to closer acquaintance not only with the subject of dis- cussion but with themselves. The society tends to maintain the friendly interests begun at Camp Armour during the summer course where all civils have the advantage of working and living together. 107 OF CIVIL INFERS OFFICERS William Hutton Eugene Pointek Raymond Dodge Edward Center Professor Rodgers President Vice President Treasurer Secretary Faculty Adviser The Armour Architectural Society, formed in 1924, was established primarily to bind the students in the School of Architecture into a unit which could act in the interests of these students. Both social and professional in sweep, the society has provided meetings of keen interest to the profession and social events of unique success to the Institute as a whole. Reorganized last year, the society now embraces all classes. Two representatives from each class, under the supervision of a faculty adviser, meet as a governing body to arrange for the meetings and events of the year. This new plan has brought a reinterest in the society functions and an increased attendance at both social and professional activities. Top Row: Fox, Piplor, Dicfcol, Skoglund.

Wayne King holds out for the return of the waltz. Sammy Kaye compromises with sweet swing”. No matter which of these trends takes the crown as King, the Armour boys have and will continue to have the opportunity to become the Crown Princes of the dance floor. They can be the self assured young men who step out on the dance floors at college proms with fair young ladies in their arms, and sway into the rhythm of the best of the orchestras. The Fairy Godmother who can and is giving these aforementioned talents is none other than the Armour Dance Club, which, in spite of its comparatively youthful age, looms as the largest social club on the campus today, in terms of membership and social activity. Since its inception, the club has taken great strides forward until today its membership cards are highly prized by students who desire to increase their dancing ability. Periodic dances afford the members the opportunity to practice what has been preached . Mays. Colon� , Hollo, Mankus. The purpose of the Society for the Advancement of Management is to bring students into contact with the observation and experiences of industrial leaders and of specialists in the fields allied to commerce and industrial management. This is accomplished in the main by pre- senting select speakers at the monthly lectures. During the past year, talks were given on time and motion study, public administration, industrial engineering, and govern- ment labor service. The entire student body was invited to public forums under the auspices of the society, which dealt with the problems of graduate employment. Meet- ings at which students presented papers also furthered the purposes of the society in developing executive initia- tive and decision. Although this organization is one of the newest of the professional student groups, it has been widely and favorably supported by both the student body and the faculty of the Institute.

First is William Mashinter, president of the club for three years and the high point man on the Rifle Team for four years. Second is August Galandak, the secretary- manager of the club for two years. Through his efforts, the team has always had suitable competition with other schools during the year. Even as the club has progressed, so has the Rifle Team, which holds the distinction of being the most successful squad on the campus. In 1939 it won eight out of nine matches and has repeated its success in the year just completed. Ill RIFLE L U B Second Row: Behrens, Vander Mey, Hermanovich, Tachau. Barry. Swanson. Grosse.

The club was organized by a number of students whose common interests and abilities in pho- tography led them to form a closely knit organization with well defined purposes. By banding together in this manner each member was enabled to obtain the bene- fits of fine equipment and facilities which normally would be beyond his means as an individual. At present the club has two dark rooms, a studio, a meeting room, and a committee room. The equipment in the dark rooms enables members to produce photographs by almost any of the processes known to modern photography. The studio equipment further allows the performance of general photographic work through its several cameras and studio lights. Ample opportunity is given for the exchange of views and ideas at the monthly meetings of the club, when lectures and demonstrations are presented by members and by men prominent in the professional field.

The chapter established at Armour became the fourteenth chapter of a national organization which now has over sixty-nine active branches located in the important colleges of engineering throughout the country. The first chapter of the organization was founded at Lehigh Uni- versity 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 . Some thirty thousand student and graduate engineers have been honored with membership in Tau Beta Pi in the years since the fraternity was founded. Illinois Beta, following the policy of its parent organization, has been engaged assiduously since its founding in pro- moting and in aiding student engineering affairs and activities. In addition to the regular student functions which interest the chapter, it spends considerable time in following the activities and achievements of graduate engineers. Repre- senting as it does a large, national, honorary fraternity embracing all branches of engineering curriculum, Illinois Beta of Tau Beta Pi has come to be con- sidered the leading organization of its nature on the campus of Armour Institute. 115 PI TAU SIGMA 1915 Alvin Winkler Fred Krahulec Robert Kohn Bert Nelson John Catlin OFFICERS President Vice President Corresponding Secretary Cataloguer Treasurer HONORARY MEMBERS George F.

At this same time, a similar independent organization was formed at the University of Wisconsin. With the co-operation of the faculty heads of the schools, a coalition was effected in March of 1916. The new organization retained both the name of Pi Tau Sigma and its avowed purpose to foster the high ideals of the engineering profession, to stimulate interest in coordinate departmental activities, and to promote the mutual pro- fessional welfare of its members”. Eight years later, in the fall of 1924, students and faculty of the mechanical engineering department of Armour Institute of Technology petitioned the national organization for membership. The petition was accepted unanimously by the Supreme Council and the active chapters, and, on December 22, 1924, Delta Chapter of Pi Tau Sigma was officially installed at Armour Institute. Delta Chapter became the fifth of seventeen chapters located throughout the east and midwest at principal colleges with mechanical engineering departments. Each year delegates are elected by the active members of the various chapters to represent them at the annual convention. This year the chapters convened at Atlanta, Georgia, to discuss affairs of interest and concern in promoting the welfare of the fraternity. The work of coordinating and unifying the activities of the various branches is further carried out by the Condenser, official magazine of the national organi- zation. 117 ETA KAPPA NU 1904 Daniel Shaver Peter Johnson George Frost Aloysius Veras John Hartman Griffith Damm OFFICERS President Vice President Corresponding Secretary Recording Secretary Treasurer Bridge Correspondent FACULTY MEMBERS Ernest H.

This honorary society of students in electrical engineering and men in the pro- fession came into existence on October 28, 1904, organized by ten students at the University of Illinois. The requirement for admission into the society is an indication of probable success in the field, for it is based on scholarship and personal qualifications. Several of the men in the electrical department of Armour realized that affilia- tion with such an organization would be greatly advantageous to the Institute, and so prepared a petition for membership. The Armour charter was granted on May 24, 1909, and thus Delta chapter of Armour Institute became the fourth branch in the fold of the national organization. Twenty-four chapters have since followed suit, until, at the present time, there are twenty-eight in all. Membership is divided into four classes: undergraduate, graduate, associate, and honorary. Undergraduate members are chosen from the junior and senior classes and such members may be elected to graduate membership by their chapters if they have performed meritorious work. Associate members are graduate engineers chosen by an active chapter and approved by the national executive council. Honorary membership is conferred only after receiving the approval of the national executive council and three-fourths of the active chapters. The student chapters are assisted by eleven alumni groups active in the field of electrical engineering. 119 CHI EPSILON 1923 OFFICERS Arthur Pedersen John Balsewick George Olufsen LeRoy Goetz Professor Stevens FACULTY MEMBERS Linton E.

Chi Epsilon, the national honorary civil engineering fraternity, was organized at the University of Illinois in 1922. In the following year, the Armour chapter of Chi Epsilon was established and was formally initiated on March 9, 1923. Chi Epsilon recognizes the fundamental characteristics of the individual engineer that are deemed essential in the successful pursuit of an engineering career, and it strives to aid in the development of these characteristics in the undergraduate. After the admission of Armour to Chi Epsilon, the passing years saw greater expansion of the fraternity with the result that today there are fifteen active chapters at leading engineering schools throughout the country and a mem- bership roll of more than two thousand men. Through the combined efforts of chapter correspondents and a national editor, the Transit, a semi-annual pub- lication, maintains active contact and resultant co-operation between the va- rious chapters, insuring coordination in the v ork and progress of its members. 121 PHI LAMBDA UPSILON 1899 Henry Newman Edward Gruca Charles Ryant James Meyer Edward Wagner Professor Kintner OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Alumni Secretary Faculty Adviser FACULTY MEMBERS Arthur H.

The aims of the founders of Phi Lambda Upsilon included the installation of chapters in other educational institutions with the object of promoting high scholarship and original investigation in all branches of pure and applied chemistry. Originally, Phi Lambda Upsilon included but two classes of members, honorary and active. The first honorary members were professors of the University of Illinois faculty who took an active interest in the maintenance of high educational standards. The first active members were chosen from undergraduate men in the junior and senior chemistry classes. Since that time, membership has been extended to include exceptional men in the chem- istry courses of the graduate school and men connected with institutions of learning in some capacity other than that of a student. A class of associate members has been created to include men of exceptional ability in chemistry who are further advanced in the science than those taken into active member- ship. The alumni membership classification included those who for any reason choose to be no longer active in chapter affairs. By these modifications in membership qualifications, Phi Lambda Upsilon, without losing sight of the aims of its founders, has made possible membership for all those worthy of its distinction. Omicron chapter was established at Armour Institute in 1920, largely through the efforts of Professor C. A. Tibbals and Mr. C. F. Smith, members of the Chemical Engineering Department. The society now numbers thirty-three active chapters and includes more than seven thousand members. 123 SALAMANDER Q 1923 OFFICERS Robert Maxwell Eugene Worcester Donald Sunde Professor Finnegan President Vice President Secretary-T reasurer Faculty Adviser HONORARY MEMBERS Joseph B.

It is the only chapter of the fraternity, since Armour is in the unique position of being the only educational institution in the country offering courses in this specialized field. Steps toward organization were begun in 1922, and in 1923 the society was officially recognized on the Armour campus as the honorary fraternity for the fire protection engineering department. Its members fall into three groups. The largest includes those men who were elected in their undergraduate years. Honor students graduating prior to 1923 in the depart- ment have been honored by initiation into the fraternity by the present chapter. A third group includes those men who are graduates of schools other than Armour, but whose activities and contributions toward fire protection have warranted the recognition of their affiliation with the society. The fraternity publishes each spring the Deflector, a news letter filled with information re- garding the undergraduate chapter and the activities of the alumni. The paper functions as a means for bringing the chapter and the Institute into closer union with the alumni members. 125 SPHINX 1907 OFFICERS Thomas Hunter Ralph Erisman Professor Hendricks President Secretary-Treasurer Faculty Adviser FACULTY MEMBERS Carl G.

As a result of this merger, the Sphinx literary society was formed. In 1909 the members of Sphinx founded the Armour Engineer, a college magazine which presented articles of interest to engineering students. Later the Engineer became the Armour Engineer and Alumnus, serving the dual purpose of informing the students of various advances in engineering, and the alumni of the activities at their alma mater. The establishing of the Armour Tech News. the weekly student newspaper, was largely due to the efforts and influence of Sphinx. During the thirty-three years of its life at Armour, Sphinx has played an important part in the promotion and welfare of all its literary activities. 127 PI NU EPSILON 1927 OFFICERS Harold Doolittle Donald Charlton George Frost President Vice President Secretary-Treas urer HONORARY MEMBERS O.

Establishment of the fraternity came after officers of the Institute extended permission to the officials of the Armour Tech Musical Clubs to establish an honorary musical society. Mem- bers of the musical clubs, four of whom were members of the class of '27, and four of the class of '28, with Professor Emeritus Charles W. Leigh planned and founded the fraternity in 1927. The sponsors intended that the organization should serve both as a means of honoring students who had aided Armour musical work and as a medium for stimulating interest in musical appreciation among the students to interest them in working for the musical clubs of the school. The charter, as granted by Institute officials in January of 1927, per- mitted musically inclined students to unite for furtherance of the knowledge and appreciation of music at the Armour Institute of Technology, and for the continued expansion and prosperity of the organization now knov n 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 strengthened interdepartmental ties and served to estab- lish a common field of intellectual activity and relaxation, with an appreciation for the greatest of the arts. 129 SCARAB OFFICERS William Hutton Fred Prather Ernest Mandel George Dickel Professor Mell President V ica-P resident Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser FACULTY MEMBERS Charles H.

Scarab fraternity was founded at the University of Illinois in 1909. In 1915 a society at Armour which had been functioning since shortly after the turn of the century as Alpha Theta Delta, an honorary limited to students of architecture of the Institute, petitioned for membership in Scarab fraternity. The petition was received favorably and shortly after- wards Edfou temple of Scarab was established at Armour. Edfou had become the third Temple in a fast growing national professional fraternity, which at the present time numbers thirteen Temples at the leading schools of architecture in the country. Scholarship, future probability of success in the profession, and personality are requirements for membership. The fraternity was founded that in the vast desert of life these Temples of Scarab would serve at the various institutions of learning to provide a broader knowledge of architecture, to promote friendly competition between students and schools of architecture, and to develop those qualities of culture and principles of conduct which are essential to the ethical practice of the profession of architecture. 131 ALPHA CHI SIGMA 1902 OFFICERS Edward Dost Harold Doolittle Eugene Kalnin Walter Molda William Massman Donald Long Master Alchemist Vice-Master Alchemist Master of Ceremonies Secretary Treasurer Reporter FACULTY MEMBERS Arthur H.

Within the next few years, six chapters were started at various schools in the middle west and south, and from 1908 to 1914 twenty-three more chapters, embracing schools all over the country, were established. Since that time, the number of collegiate chapters has almost doubled, for there are now forty-six active branches located in colleges and universities from coast to coast. Alpha Chi Sigma is a professional chemical fraternity and is therefore founded on the basic premise of a continuous activity in the affairs of the organization. The existence of this activity is attested by the alumni associa- tion, which has expanded into a group of sixteen professional chapters and nine professional groups, scattered from Los Angeles to New York. Members of the Flask and Beaker, a club of students in the Chemical Engineering department at Armour, saw the value of participation in a national professional chemical fraternity and the group petitioned for chaptership in the organization of Alpha Chi Sigma. Their petition was accepted, and on December 13. 1930, the members of the Flask and Beaker were initiated into Alpha Chi Sigma, forming the Alpha Psi chapter at Armour, the forty-seventh collegiate chapter of the fraternity. 133 RHO EPSILON OFFICERS Julian Leonhardi Carl Pierson Edward Rosenthal Eugene Foster Professor Sear President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Adviser FACULTY MEMBERS Leonard Holmes Earle L Kent Arthur W.

Rho Epsilon was founded by the members of the Radio Club of Washington State College in December, 1911. 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 frater- nity 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% government 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. 135 HONOR A OFFICERS Lloyd Norkus President Jack Clark Vice President William Bauch Secretary-Treasurer HONORARY MEMBERS William Kraft John J.

This discriminating selection is one factor which gives Armour's athletes an added incentive to be more than good athletes and major letter winners. For to be truly eligible for Honor A, the candidate must be considered by active mem- bers of the organization to have personality, outstanding character, and to have co-operated in and contributed to the success of his team. This organi zation, founded in 1914, has honored three hundred athletes in the twenty-six years of its existence. Primary functions of Honor A are to encourage students to go out for the teams and to promote the general welfare of athletics whenever possible. It gives an award to the outstanding freshman athlete each year as a spur to future effort and success. Other activities include the sponsorship of an annual Honor ''A alumni banquet, to which last year seventy-two athletes, dating back to the class of '14, v ere present.

The events culminating in the organization of the fraternity may be traced back as far as October of 1931 when a dramatics group was founded. Since its inception, the group so grew and improved that in 1935 it was decided to establish a more formal organiza- tion, an honorary club, to be known as the Armour Player's Guild. It became the function of this body to select, supervise, and sponsor the work of the Players. In 1939, in order that certain weaknesses of the Guild might be eliminated. Gamma Theta was established as an honorary fraternity and was recognized as such by the Institute officials. Requirements for entrance into the fraternity were made rigorous in an attempt to maintain the standards of Armour's dra- matic achievements at a high level.

Here our professors may sit in uninterrupted reverie and figure out the answers to the questions so carefully evaded in class. Here, where the walls have no ears, they may discuss their mutual problems and pleasures. Their ivory tower fastness unchallenged, they find an opportunity to browse through current magazines, improve their bridge, or restore their morale. Deep and inviting easy chairs offer welcome respite from an exhausting hour of lecture. For a light snack or hearty dinner, the club members may step into their new Pine Room grill, quaint with its old English lamps and pine paneled walls, and discuss and lay to rest the problems of antiquity. The Club, headed this year by President William Kelly, has a social calendar including lectures, movies, and other more relaxing features. As a means for bringing together the Pro- fessors' wives, the Faculty Women's Club carries on a very active season both here at Armour and off the campus. 140 THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The last man has left the stage, diploma in hand. Graduation? Well, yes . . . finally, some will say. College days, for the majority, will be gone forever. Classmates will separate and go their respective ways, stepping out into a different world and leaving behind them their college friends and their alma mater. The Armour Alumni Association, realizing the value of graduate contact, strives to tie together the thou- sands of alumni into an active body which, besides maintaining old friendships and associations with the alma mater, spreads the achievements of Armour throughout the land. Perhaps the greatest single medium through which the Association contacts the alumni is the Armour Engineer and Alumnus which, with its circulation of over 20,000, is sent to all contributing alumni the world over, and to countless libraries. In addition to handling the Engineer's publication, the Association operates a student loan fund available to senior students. Each June, as a concluding feature of the year's activities, it conducts the annual Alumni banquet where all graduates who can possibly attend gather once more to bring back old memories. OFFICERS I.

Beset with injuries and a lack of good reserves, the best Stenger's five could do was to win but two of the fourteen games on the '39-'40 docket. Captain Bill Scherer, al- though handicapped for the majority of the games with an injured shoulder, played in- spired ball throughout the season and led the team in scoring, by amassing 112 points. Close behind Scherer was Lloyd Norkus whose 110 points needed but one basket to tie for top honors. 144 Hank Sliwa, who tied with Eddie O'Connor for third place in the individual scoring, will lead the Techawks during the forthcoming 1940-1941 campaign. Characteristic of the team's performance for the entire season was the opening game, staged at Beloit. The Tec- hawks played great basketball for the first five minutes, and ended the half holding onto an 18-18 tie. However, the Armour five found the going a bit too tough in the second half and trailed while May startled the locals with his adept passing and shooting. His uncontrollable tactics spelled a 50-36 defeat for Armour. In the first home game of the year with Arkansas State before a rousing crowd of Pep club enthusiasts the story was repeated. Off to an early game lead, the Techawks wilted when the guards forgot about a razorback named Tilley, who sneaked around in the back court for 26 points. The game finally ended with the Techawks holding the short end of a 56-39 tally. Against Lake Forest the cagers again gave a good first half performance, leaving the floor with the score board read- ing Armour 18, Lake Forest 18. However, with two minutes to go in the second half a fistic free-for-all ensued and Cap- tain Scherer was ejected from the game. With the departure of Scherer, Armour's defense vanished and the Foresters won. 50-36. _________________________i Schoror Captain Lasker Manager Slenger Coach 145 At DeKalb the Techawks went down 46-25. In the return game with Lake Forest in the Ar- mory,. the local five jumped to a 22-20 first half lead, and; then showed a complete reversal of form in their second half performance. Through the accurate shooting of Gates and Harrison, the Foresters ran up the score to 52-35. Poor proficiency in the free throw department cost the Techawks their game with Elmhurst as they went down in defeat 28-26. Against the Maroons the Techawks looked better than last year, but still found the Chicago defense too impervious and so garnered 23 points as compared to Chicago's 45. Before Scherer's homefolk at Naperville and under the tutelage of O'Brien and Weissman, who were pinch hitting for the ill coach, Stenger, the Techawks played their best game of the year against North Central, although los- ing 48-40. After tasting double defeat at the hands of Grand Rapids and Lawrence Tech of Detroit on their 'tween semester jaunt, the Tech cagers broke their losing streak at eleven by handing George Williams a one point defeat. The game proved a 34-33 thriller, and served as a fitting prelude to the Chicago Bruins pro tilt. The Techawks made it two straight by whipping Elmhurst 53-49 in a free scoring con- test at Elmhurst. Armour's valiant five hit a low ebb in performance as they bowed before a fast moving North Central five, 41-30, to ring down the curtain on the worst season in years.

THE FRESHMAN TEAM After getting off to a slow start, the Frosh basketball team suddenly found itself and proceeded to defeat Elmhurst and Chicago Teachers to end the season with a .500 record. By whipping Chicago Teachers 17-16 the ‘43 quintet avenged an earlier defeat at the hands of the Colonels. The other loss was to a strong Cardinal five at North Central. A wealth of good material was found in the freshman squad, and from this group Coach Bill O'Brien molded a winning combination that put the varsity on its toes and defeated company D 60-15 in the season's finale. 147 Silla.

W R E S T L Under the leadership of Captain George Hanna and the able coach- ing of Sonny Weissman, the Tech wrestlers went through a ten meet schedule winning five, tying another, and taking a fifth in the Wheaton Invitational. Armour piled up a total of one hundred and ninety-one points against ninety-seven for her opponents. Losses were encountered with Wheaton, Beloit, and DeKalb, al- though in the case of Beloit, the meet hinged on the final match. Hanna and Nigrelli each won seven of the nine matches in which they competed to take scor- ing honors for the season. Kaz- 148 mierowicz took six bouts in a row before he was defeated, ending the season with seven wins and three losses. It was six out of nine for both Till and Wasilenko, while Harrison earned his share of points with six victories. The wrestlers opened their season against Herzl Junior College on December 5 and won seven of the eight matches for a 29-3 victory. Harrison, Nigrelli, Hurwitz, and Balsewick garnered five points each for pinning their men, while Hanna, Siew, and Kazmierowicz all won on decisions with time advantages of 4:30, 3:20, and 1:30 minutes respectively. Real competition was afforded when Wheaton came to Armour on December 12. The Ministers, however, went home with a 21-9 victory, winning on three falls and two decisions. The engineers were able to grunt out only three decisions. Wasilenko evened up his season's record with a win, and Harrison and Kazmierowicz continued on their undefeated way. Hanna Captain D� Mont Managor Wolssman Coach 149 i The following week the wrestling team avenged its first defeat by trouncing Morton Junior College 28-8, taking six of the eight matches. Five of them were on falls and one by a decision. Hanna, Harrison, Nigrelli, Wasi- lenko, and Kazmierowicz all floored their op- ponents in last time. On January 17 the grap- plers v ent to Morton for a return meet and added another victory to their win column by the score of 22-8. Combining four decisions and tv o falls against a decision and a fall for Mor- ton, the Techawks clearly showed their supe- riority. Two days later, while their coach was subbing on the basketball team, the wrestlers went on their own to whip Herzl, 34-0, in a re- turn meet at Herzl. Only three of the eight bouts v ent the limit, and, in those, the Tec- hawks had v ide time advantages. DeKalb Teachers College visited Armour on February 14, and went home with no gain as a result of a 12-12 tie. Harrison broke his win- ning streak at five straight v hen he lost on a decision to Cook with a time advantage of 2:18 minutes. Four days later, the matmen suc- cumbed to a 24-8 defeat at the hands of the Teachers in a return meet in DeKalb. Kaz- mierowicz was among the less fortunate to end his record at six straight. Davenport finally pinned him after 8:11 minutes of struggling. -o Coach Woissman and Captain Hanna talk it over on th© mat. 150 Top Row: Grinndal. Ass't Mgr.. Baum. Potorson. Sanowskls.

Beloit college was the next opponent of the wrestlers when they traveled to the Wisconsin school on February 24. Inability to win the bouts in the heavier weight divisions spelled doom for the matmen as they lost 16-14. After holding a 14-5 lead at the end of the first five matches, the Techawks dropped the last three to lose the meet. Again on the road, Weissman's boys stopped this time at Wheaton for the Wheaton Invitational. When all the groaning was over that afternoon of March 2, they returned home with a fifth place. Balsewick, fighting in the heavyweight division, was the only Techav k who thoroughly enjoyed the meet. Besides getting four of the five points that Armour managed to total, Balsewick defeated two of the men who had previously whipped him in dual meets. Wolniak added the other point when he gained third place in the 175 pound division. In the final meet. Tech's matmen had little difficulty in crushing Augustana by the score of 35-5. The meet was held March 9 at the Rock Island school. Five of the eight bouts were won on falls in less than five minutes. DeMent, stripping off his managerial clothes and donning those of a grunt and groan artist, produced Aug- ustana's only win and her five points. 151 BOXING Colant Captain WoSssman Hawkins Coach Manager Once again the Golden Gloves tournament took Chicago by storm, and once again Armour sent a sizable team of fighters through the ropes into the flood-lit square. Ever since the inaugural of this top ranking amateur boxing tourney the Tec- hawks have been represented by the ablest boxers in school. And this year was no excep- tion, for of the eight men that wore the Black and Gold trunks, four won their initial bouts and one reached the third round. Fighting in the 125 pound class Jerry DeGiorgi was the standout man for the Engineers. Early in the first evening of fighting he knocked out his opponent for a win, and later the same night came back to kayo another Golden Glove aspirant. However, on the next night, DeGiorgi lost in a very close decision to a more experienced con- testant. The other three who survived the first round of slugging were LeRoy Simpson, Will Kruse, and Roy Ericson. However, both were matched against heralded entries in the second round and consequently were eliminated from the tournament via the decision route. Kruse fought a spectacular fight, and nearly received the referee's nod. The greatest set back of the tourney came in the bout in v hich Captain Ernie Colant suffered a fractured hand as he battled his way through his fight in the 135 pound division. The decision naturally went against Ernie, but his effort was typical of the fine, clean fighting shown by his fellow Techawks throughout the tournament. Be- sides training the Tech Golden Glove entries. Sonny Weissman served as a corner man dur- ing the entire tournament. 152 The intercollegiate competition this year con- sisted of a pair of matches with Valparaiso Uni- versity of Valparaiso, Indiana. The Techawks experienced no trouble in winning both of them by handsome margins. Before a large local audience, our boxers slugged their way to take four of the six bouts. DeGiorgi lost the first bout, but the Techawks made amends in all but one oi the remaining bouts. Ericson, shifting and weav- ing like a veteran of the ring, won his bout easily in the 135 pound division. Peterman, Rehwaldt, and Norkus were awarded decisions, while at 145 pounds Wolf of the Indiana team received the judges' decision from Collins after a lively battle. In the return meet the only marked difference was the fierceness of the individual bouts. Instead of decisions, TKO's were awarded. The final score was 41 2-1V2. with the proteges of Weissman on the long end. The fight between DeGiorgi and Hirsch in the 125 pound class v as called a draw after it was stopped in the second round. Ericson again won in the 135 pound division and at 155 pounds Armour suffered its only loss as Poliak took one too many on the nose in the second round. Peter- man stopped his man in the second, while both Rehwaldt and Norkus were forced to go the limit to win. Norkus, punching in the heavyweight class, put on the best fight of the day.

Ar- mour's nine made amends for the first half of the season and ended the year with a record of six wins against seven losses. This gave them a percentage of .462, a trifle under last year's standing. For their warm-up game, the Techawks again battled the boys from the Midway. Captain Willie Kruse was awarded the opening pitching assignment against the University of Chicago. The Tech- men showed great early season form, although bowing to the Maroons 4-1. A trip to Elmhurst the following week resulted in the first win of the season, with '’Red” i 154 James turning in a fine hurling performance. The final score was 2-1. Two encounters with North Central and one with Lake Forest netted the Techawk team three fine games, but, un- fortunately. three defeats. The initial North Central meet- ing was a thrilling ten-inning battle that ended in a 3-1 win for the Naperville lads. In the second encounter with the Cardinals the Armour boys put on their best display of offensive strength thus far, but four errors behind the stout pitching of A1 Yursis contributed to a 7-4 downfall for the Stengermen. Behind the steady pitching of Willie Kruse, and some timely hitting by Lyckberg, the ball team came through with its second win of the season, a 3-0 victory over the DeKalb Teachers. Kruse fanned twelve men while scoring the shutout. On the road again the Armourites lost a close game to the boys from Wabash, the final score reading 5-2. The third victory for the year came in a 3-1 trouncing of an experienced Augustana nine. Kruso Captain Gruca Manager Stonqer Coach 155 It may be noted that the Techmen did as well on the home diamond as on the road. The records show that three victories were tallied on Ogden Field, whereas the remaining three were gathered while traveling. Another game was added to the Armour win column of Friday, May 19, when the team downed Augustana for their second win over the Rock Island school. Alex Yursis hurled a four hit shutout while his team mates banged out fourteen hits to support his excellent pitch- ing. Jim Thodos led the assault, garnering three hits in as many trips to the plate. Shut out pride turned into deep resentment as the team was forced to forfeit their game with the previously defeated Elmhurst squad. The score went on the books as a 9-0 shellack- ing, equalling the high score set in the Lake Forest 9-1 defeat earlier in the year. A trip to DeKalb for a return engagement with the Teachers set the stage for the feature game of the season. Willie Kruse pitched for the Tech nine and walked off the mound with a 5-4 victory as the result of a remarkable clout- ing barrage by the Armour players. First base- man Marv Carrier led the onslaught with four . 156 Second Row: Bauch. lamos, Muollor. Krauso. Carrier. Hollo. First Row: Mankus, Achinakksn. Grosso. Bay. Yursls. Coach Stenger. solid smashes, one of them being a home-run. Leonard and Bauch also belted homers and Kruse contributed two singles to his own cause. The DeKalb win provided the incentive for the Techawks to avenge the previous whipping by Lake Forest. With Kruse pitching another standout game, the Foresters bowed to the tune of 6-4. Michigan State's Spartans, however, invaded Ogden Field the same week and put a finale to Armour's season by scoring a 5-2 triumph. Alex Yursis was on the mound in the final game as Berndt Lyckberg and Captain Willie Kruse performed their last chores upon the Armour diamond. With the graduation of Kruse the team and school lost an outstanding three-year pitcher and hitter. In the 1940 season a complete team of lettermen returned to com- petition and Coach Grant Stenger was assured of a fine season with Red James and A1 Yursis carrying the pitching load. Frank Leonard was elected captain for the '40 season. His fire and spirit have been leading factors in the success of the present Armour nine. 157 TRAC ft . jTs V A W j Corovskl Co-Caplain Clark CoCaptain Erlsman Manager K The indoor track season was opened at Naperville when Armour Tech met North Central, and a power- ful Cardinal team conquered the Techawks. 62-29. Co-captain Cerov- ski took the Armour team honors with a victory in the 60 yard dash and second places in the 440 and 880. Burman won the shot put while Mongean was an easy first in the high jump. Much can be attributed to the fact that our team lost many of its high point winners of last season through graduation. The meet with North Central was an omen of bad fortune in the treat- ment the Techawks were to receive from Loyola. Predictions came true when the Loyola squad led by Len- over decisively defeated Armour. Loyola had full control of the run- ning events, and the Tech trackmen were greatly handicapped by the loss of Cerovski, who pulled a muscle 158 Second Row: Huebnor, Ass'!

The next meet was the third consecutive loss for Armour's track team as Wilson Jr. College won, 59-39. Mongean was high point man with first in the high jump, second in the shot put, and a tie for third in the pole vault. Cerovski was able to come back to win the 880, and Burman took shot put honors for the third straight time. The team found itself in the meet with Elmhurst and the Techawks stepped out to win their first duel, 59-36. Cerovski led the team with firsts in the 440 and the 880. Jackowski took first in the mile and third in the two mile, while Barry won the low hurdles and finished third in the highs. Burman broke the meet record to win the shot put, Elwood won the pole vault, and Mongean tied for first in the high jump and third in the pole vault and shot put. Armour completely swept both the 440 yard dash and the pole vault. After suffering three defeats, the team showed signs of promise that, if development followed as well in the next few meets as it did in the Elmhurst meet, the Tec- hawks could turn in as good a season as the team of '39, if not better. Norman R. Root Coach 159 TRACK The Armour Tech track team started the outdoor season in win- ning form as it defeated Wheaton and Elmhurst in a triangular meet. Armour totaled 70% points as com- pared to 50 points for V heaton and 34% for Elmhurst. Co-Captain Vande- kieft was high point man as he took firsts in the shot put and discus and a second in the high jump. Cerovski breasted the tape first in the 100 yard dash and the 220 yard dash. Clark won the javelin throw and came in second in the broad jump, while Fisher won the 880 yard run. In the 110 yard high hurdles Rothenberg took first, and Elwood cleared the bar to win the pole vault. 160 The Techawks avenged their defeat of the previous season as they whipped Illinois Wesleyan 76 to 55. Clark and Fisher were the leaders of the team in points as they each won two events, Clark getting firsts in the broad jump and the javelin throw, and Fisher coming in first in the mile and 880. Coach Norm Root's trackmen next went down to Peoria to hand Bradley Tech their second defeat in as many years as the A. I. T. men won, 67-59. Rothenberg paced the team to victory as he took four places, while the Techawks swept the broad jump with Clark, Miller, and Rothenberg. Armour's supremacy in the pole vault was shown when Dixon tied for first, and Elwood and Heidenreich tied for third. After the string of victories, Armour met its first defeat when Loyola nosed out the Techawks, 67‘i to 58'ft. Vandekieft was high point man again as he won the discus and shot put, and took third in the high jump. Clark won the javelin throw and broad jump, while Rothenberg took three places in the track events. Norman Root, Coach OUTDOOR 161 John J.

John Schommer. His is the responsibility of contacting the many par- ticipants and arranging for the innumerable de- tails necessary for the staging of the games. The enthusiastic response of the colleges and universities throughout the middle west is indic- ative of the increasing popularity of this track season highlight. The keen spirit of competition displayed by teams and individuals in vying for cups and badges, symbols of achievement, is the spirit of the man who conceived and inspires the continuance of our own Tech Relays.

Wheaton College Wilson Junior College Wright Junior College Yankton College The evening of March 18 v as truly a night for champions at the twelfth running of the Armour Tech Relay games at the University of Chicago Field House. An overflow audience saw three records smashed and a fourth tied as six hundred ath- letes from thirty-two colleges and eight universities competed for Armour medals and trophies. Hardly had the evening's activities begun when Michigan Normal's crack relay team won the college two mile relay in the meet record breaking time of 8:05.3. All attention was next focused on the university 70 yard dash, where Gene Littler of the University of Nebraska equaled the meet record of 7.1 seconds. The university two mile relay was won by Marquette in 7:52.4, clipping eight-tenths of a second off of the old record set by Michigan State in 1933. To complete the record breaking for the evening. Chuck Fenske added another record to his fast growing collection when he broke all existing marks in a featured three-quarter mile race. The famous middle distance runner trimmed 3.7 seconds off of the world's indoor mark of 3:03.4 established by Lloyd Hahn in 1925. Team honors went to Michigan State Normal who paced the college division with 62% points to retain the college trophy for the second time in two years. Kansas State Teachers and Loyola of Chicago took second and third place honors, re- spectively. Although there v ere no trophies awarded for team performance in the university division, Marquette was high scorer v ith Illinois and Wisconsin close behind.

Loyola, DePauw, Beloit, and North Central, the 1939-1940 Tech mermen turned in a brilliant seven win, three loss season. Many a splash has been raised in Bartlett pool on the U. of C. campus since such a positive record has been made. At home in the final meet of the season the McGilli- vraymen reached their peak as they trounced DePauw by a 39 to 27 score, for the first Armour win of the Tech-Hoosier feud. Other impressive wins included double victories over Beloit and North Central; and single gains over Chicago Teachers College and George Williams. The team lost only to Loyola, DePauw, and the University of Kentucky. Much of the team's success was due to Pearson, frosh free styler, and the breaststroke department headed by Koos, Svagdis, and Co-Captain Hutchings Anderson Koos went undefeated in the 100 yard breast stroke. Co-Captain Backstrokers Huxhold and Captain-elect Blume made the squad a well balanced contingent. Dodge, the old Faithful of Armour's past and pres- ent, splashed into rough water more than once in his specialty, the 220 yard free style, against Beloit and DePauw. The medley team of Huxhold, Svagdis, and Co-Captain Anderson was consistent in its triumphs. As many of the meets were won by virtue of a Sprint relay win, the Four Seahorsemen, Rademacher, Mankus, Pearson, and Anderson, played an extremely important part in this season's great success. ,, , Hutchings Co-Captain DoMonoy Manager 165 TENNIS Balsewick. Mgr.. Wagner. Cdpt., Dunworth, Natinchok, Lango. 166 Facing a very rigid schedule, the 1939 tennis team managed to come out on top with a seasonal record of six wins, four losses, and a tie. This included wins over Chicago Teachers, Indiana State Teachers. George Williams, Wheaton, and North Central; while three of the five losses were by single matches only, and these to Butler University, the University of Chicago B team, and Loyola University. Ed Swanson, Melbourne Biddle, and Bob Lange each scored seven victories while losing only five. Cap- tain Nick Natinchek dropped his first five matches by close margins, and then evened up his season’s record by winning the last six ntestches in great style. Ralph Wagner finished the season with three wins and six losses. Swanson and Natinchek proved to be the top doubles combination, taking six matches while’ drop- ping only one throughout the entire season. The other doubles team of Swanson and Lange did not fair quite as well, for they showed up with a one and three record at the end of the spring campaign. The 1940 season found Swanson and Biddle the only members of the team lost through graduation, all other men returning. Competition was keen for these two open positions, and all indications pointed to a good 1940 season. Manager John Balsev ick arranged a schedule for this spring which included an opening tilt with the Uni- versity of Chicago B team on the Midway courts. Meets followed with Chicago Teachers and DeKalb. During Junior Week the netmen donned their seven league boots for a trip to Purdue, Indiana State Teach- ers, and Butler University.

Mackoy, Mgr. 168 This year's golf team shows promise as the best in recent years. Coach Sammy Bibb's cares are lightened considerably' with the return of six lettermen. All of these golfers are capable of shooting in the low seven- ties. Although primarily built around two co-operative students, Melvin Korrell and Ralph Schmal, who carded consistently in the low seventies last season, the team will have Donald Sunde, John Fox, Albert Bredlau, and Harry Sieg, other returning lettermen, as its mainstays. Two sophomores, Richard Taylor and Paul Buerckholtz, who showed great promise in the annual fall golf tour- ney, are also on the team roster. The golf team, divided into an A and a B group, has meets scheduled for each of the squads. Manager Don Mackey has drawn up an unusually stiff schedule, which includes several trips. On the Bibbmen's docket are journeys to Bradley Tech and Wabash College. During Junior Week the golfers invade Michigan for matches with Wayne University. Western State Teach- ers. and Calvin. Return meets with Bradley and Wayne; and a pair of matches with DeKalb finish this season's schedule. The 1939 golf team, although not faring so well in its tough schedule, gained the necessary experience which it is hoped will carry its members to a successful 1940 season. The divoteers dropped successive meets to Wabash, Beloit, the Alumni, and Indiana State Teachers. However, with every meet, the team showed considerable progress, and finally came into its own downstate, where wins were scored over Bradley Tech and DeKalb. Sundo Captain Mackoy Manager Bibb Coach 169 INTERFRATERNITY No sooner had the freshmen checked in their chemistry lockers than the fall program of intra- mural, interclass, and inter-frater- nity athletics was put into full sv ing. Vying with the City Series for recognition in the baseball world was Armour's Little Series. the annual interclass hardball classic. The juniors were out to repeat their last year victory. And so they did, for. after eliminating the ailing seniors, they whipped the frosh in a 3-1 six inning thriller. The men of '42 surrendered to the runner-up frosh in the first bracket. When part of the late summer heat had abated from the spa- ciousness of Ogden field, the en- gineers laid aside their slide rules and picked up the pig skin in- stead of B. O. Pierce. Touchball weather had arrived, and soon the dust-laden air above Ogden was filled with spiralling footballs and the voices of a thousand engineers. After two months of gruelling play, the junior mechs, paced by Knorr- ing and Erickson, were declared the winners of the interdepartment touchball tourney with a record of seven wins and one defeat. Where the department boys had left off in the touchball field, the fraternity men began their tourney. In the Greekmen's title game, severe blocking and general hard playing marked the Phi Kaps 7-6 defeat of the Delts. From Ogden Field to the 5th floor cheese box tramped Ar- mour's unsung but courageous athletes as the interclass basket- ball tournament was started. While chill winds were piling the snow deep around Machinery Hall, the frosh were piling up the points against their unlucky opponents as they gave the seniors a 24-19 beating for the coveted interclass I N T R A M U 170 THE ■ ■ crown. In the same room Alpha Sig missed its 21st basketball crown by two points as it fell before a determined Phi Kap five in an 18-16 overtime battle. This was the second interfraternity crown for the men from Skull house. During the long winter months intra- mural manager Opila kept the athletic ball rolling with a bowling and a ping pong tournament. Intermingled in this was an interclass track meet, and a boxing and wrestling tournament. The track meet saw ten juniors gather enough points to win the second trophy for the class of 1941. High point man of the meet was Heidenreich, who ran, jumped, and vaulted his way to 14 2 points of the winner's 391 2 points. RAL ACTIVITIES 171 In Sonny Weissman's emporium on the 5th floor some fifty brawny Tec- hawks matched fists and arm locks in a series of bouts. From this melee of fighters five boxers and five wrestlers punched and grunted their way to intra- mural championships in weight classes. Strike! That was the cry on the bowling alleys as fifty-five men rolled ball after ball at the winsome ten-pins. The team of Hauswald, Lake, Olsen, and Blevins, however, were the bowlers who often had this shout ring in their ears as they won the intramural bowl- ing championship. High pin man of the tourney was Poliak. The Phi Kaps continued their sweep of interfraternity athletics by also taking the bowling trophy. INTERCLASS THE T R A M U 172 J INTERDEPARTMENT On the green and white tables in 2E in the Union, the senior chemicals defeated the senior fire protects to become the first inter- department ping pong champions. On similar tables on Michigan avenue Pi Kappa Phi took the interfraternity championship. With the completion of this tour- ney, a full spring program of horse- shoes. softball, tennis, golf, and swimming was put into effect. Last spring the present senior mechs slugged their way to the softball crown, the frosh sunk the sophs for the interclass swimming cham- pionship. and Phi Pi won the inter- fraternity swim. This year has seen greater op- portunities for the average Armour student to enter into some form of athletic competition. Keeping pace with the collegiate trend for in- creased intramural activities. Ar- mour has added ping pong and horseshoes to the already long roster of intramural sports. And now archery and fencing are showing signs of revival as addi- tional fields for the Armour college man to find athletic activity to suit his particular desires. The position of intramural man- ager has become an increasingly important one. with the greatly broadened scope of activities. Manager Opila did a nice job of running off the various functions and scheduling the numerous tilts. The trend now is to give the man- ager the direct job of purchasing all equipment and awards so that the program of intramural sports and recreation may assume the active role in student affairs that is rightly its own.

Junior Week, 1939 version, was no exception. This thirty-fifth annual classic got off to its usual gay start v ith Vic Svagdis copping the Pentathlon Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday afternoon and evening made school history as a record-breaking Open House was held for Armour's countless friends. Thousands mar- veled at the ingenious and elaborate depart- mental displays. Once again the famed Kiss- O-Meter drew hundreds of the curious. fjustiosi WeeJz 178 The annual Open House dance was held for the first time in the new Student Union, result- ing in a jammed dance floor, but a swell time. Baseball history was made Thursday morn- ing when the Junior class Yankees overcame a six run lead to whip the Seniors. The hosts then went on to wallop the Sophomores, 8-2, taking the championship. The crushed Seniors went out that afternoon and were slaughtered by the faculty butchers who became so-o-o tired hitting homers. The pie eating contest was handicapped by ’culprits who stole most of the pies, but Bob Jaffee finally out-ate all others. 179 lAJeeJv Alec Templeton, famed young English pianist, dropped in on Tech Thursday afternoon to try out the Color Organ . The musical festivities were continued that evening when the annual Musical Club's Spring Concert was given in the auditorium, combined with the Interfraternity Sing. The huge throng was captivated by the excellent performance of the clubs, and by the various fraternities' renditions of their sacred friendship songs. The Phi Kappa Sigma house won the Sing. A dance completed the evening. Friday saw the Phi Pi's again take the inter- fraternity track cup. The obstacle races and interclass marbles were ruled out because of lack of competitors. . . . Very strange for Tec- hawks. fjusuosi WeeJz 180 Proving once again that experience conquers all, the Sophs upheld tradition, though some- what suspiciously, when they won” over the frosh in the Rush. Mangled bodies and soiled vegetables strewed the battleground afterwards. A record crowd of over 300 couples filled the beautiful Itasca Country Club Friday evening at the Junior Informal to close the social season. Thus another Junior Week became history. The interfraternity and interdepartment skits led off the afternoon activities, with Triangle winning the President's cup with their ‘‘Follies of 1939 ; and the Junior Mechs topping all other departments with their unchallenged production Hillbillies in Omskow , featuring Stoopbrain Bliss and his clan, and a group of Russian musicians.

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 instantaneously destroyed half the strength of the organi- zation. 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 organization 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. 188 Anderson Bittner Buerckholtz Bunce, H. Bunce, J.

The club, with the original fifteen mem- bers, flourished for two years as a local organization. A number of fraternities, anxious to place chapters at Armour, desired to grant the society a charter. In 1898 the Paragraph Club received its charter as Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Phi Kappa Sigma. This was the first frater- nity to establish a chapter at Armour. 190 One of the finest things that comes into the life of the matriculating freshmen ... a fraternity . . . with it Rush Week, which included the -f-LT Banquet, dinner parties, and the Skull Dance with a fine band. . . .

The informal organization was effected in 1858, but it was not until a year later that the constitution was adopted. 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 Rainbcw. 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 seventy-four active chapters and many alumni chapters throughout the country. The alumni or- ganization acts as a constant guide and help to the undergraduate chapters. 192 Allen Carmody Cles Crane Creagan Deane 'Duncan Dunworth Ekstrom Fox Gamier Haubort Hoffman Hoovor Jordan Kelly Knief Meyer Moore Patterson Phillips Ransol Rice Sparenberg Sunde Suthers Talcott Umbright Wossols Willis Yeager Arthur H.

All eight found- ers 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 organiza- tion, and now it 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 Ar- mour. As the organization became stronger, the members decided on affiliation with a na- tional society, and in 1922 the local fraternity became Alpha Gamma Chapter of Theta Xi. 196 Dres Durke© Franzono Grot© Hanson Koenig Mangan Mansirorr.

Other chapters were initiated, but it was not until 1907 that the national organization was perfected and a new period of expansion begun. At present there are thirty-seven active chapters throughout the country. There are several chapter alumni associations, but the main alumni organization is by means of councils which exist at all of the large cities.

The in- ception of the organization was largely due to the desire of the founders to organize Jewish students of good character to spread the doc- trines 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 fraternity is now na- tional 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 frater- nity in the United States to the Armour campus. Sigma Epsilon Chapter has always co-operated closely with the chapters of other midwestern schools. 202 Abrahamson Barren Clayton Cooper Hollander Hurvltz Kohn Role Sapersteln Shapiro Sherman Norman Schreiber FACULTY Herbert Kricsman ACTIVE MEMBERS Robert Abrahamson Robert Barrett Gerhard Hollander Robert Kohn Harry Role Seymour Saperstein Arthur Clayton Bernard Cooper John Golden William Heller PLEDGES Harold Hurvitz Norman Hymes Harold Shapiro Earl Sherman Henry Wise 203 1313 ®1|0 First Semester Leon Epstein Bernard Sternfeld Sidney Silverman Joseph Heller OFFICERS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer iRlj a Second Semester Leon Epstein Bernard Sternfeld Sidney Silverman Joseph Heller During the winter of 1918 several under- graduate students of Armour Institute, who had been brought together through their common interests and ideals, decided to form a lasting fraternal bond to strengthen their friendship. Every succeeding active chapter of the frater- nity has endeavored 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 mem- bership 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. 204 Alschulor Borman Blackstono Cohen Davis Ellis Epstein Farkas Forbor Franks Goltz Heller Hersh Horwitz Jacobs Joseph Kolom Krus Lachman Lang Levin Levinson London Lowy Mandol Miller Mirotsnic Nadel Newman Pinsky Pollack Rosenborg Rumack Salzman Sarasin Silverman Sniador Spitz Stemfeld Welsch Workman Robert M.

Though a fraternity of engineers, duplication of membership with other college fraternities is not permitted. Although the fra- ternity was at first limited to civil engineering students, the membership requirements have since been broadened to include all options of engineering students. This was done because the purpose of the organization was the devel- opment of fraternal life, not only among the members of a single course, but among all en- gineering students. Triangle was the first 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. 206 Adams Barnabee Clark Curry Du roe Ericscn Frost Hanna Hassell Irwin Johnson, H.

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 organizations. 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 Uni- versity 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 fraternity 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. 208 Buian Burman Collonder Dargol Dickerhoof Dcdgo Froedaln Gorhardt Gullett Hanson Harpor Heidenreich, F. Heidenreich, H.

Until 1935 Beta Psi was an influential fra- ternity 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 Chap- ter of Pi Kappa Phi took the place of Beta Chapter of Beta Psi. 210 Here comes Rush Week . . . they tell me all fraternities have 'em. . . .

The rest of the month I'm really going to bear down on the books. . . . There's the Social Chairman ... Hi, feller . . . you don't mean we've got a smoker the 22nd . . . and a Halloween Masquerade Dance the 27th . . . and an Open House the 29th. . . . Well, now I can really study . . . yep, all homework in on time, no last minute cramming . . . yep. . . . You don't mean there's a Valentine v aiting for me over in the Registrar's Office. ... Oh well, they can't stop me from having a good time . . . think I'll take Janey to the Pledge Dance the 22nd of November. . . . Had a swell time ... I think that girl appreciates me. ...

The purpose of this organiza- tion was to establish and promote general good feeling toward co-operation in all fra- ternity 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 extended 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. 212 THE COUNCIL First Semester Second Semester i!hi iKappa tripma Jack Clark Robert Lange Drlta Sau Delta Donald Sunde Keith Hoffman Shrta Xi Frank Grote Forrest Wolf Alpha tyiniua JJhi Richard Larson Richard Larson £inmu Alpha fflu Robert Kohn Robert Barrett Ului Drlta Shu Leon Epstein Leon Epstein Sriatttilr Vern Hassell Vem Hassell ili iKappa |lhi Roy Burman Robert Maxweli Clark Lange Sunde Hoffrr.an Groio Larson Kohn Epstein Maxwell Hassell i- P Ik o A JrjL r « ,o.

The Council took the place of the loosely organized Interfraternity Rushing Committee, which had attempted to accom- plish this aim, without much success. 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 presi- dent of each recognized fraternity is that fraternity's representative to the Coun- cil. It is through this representative that every fraternity has a voice in inter- fraternity affairs. 3utrrfrat?rnitg (Eounrtl iiMMNiiimamiiiimaiimiNNnimiHNMHMimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHHMiiiiimiHHii iaaaaaaa aaaiaaaaaaaaaiaia laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa's.
