This book is humbly dedi- cated to those men who have given their lives in the con- quest of nature. They are ihe ones of whom the world knows but little, yet who have contributed much to its hap- piness. From their hardship, perseverence, ingenuity, has come our present richer life. F.

Hinrichs Ir. may cause the erring student to quake in his boots, but once he has penetrated the outer shell he real- izes that here is a sincere friend. The Dean has proved that there is a warm spot in his heart for the student body ..... Foster mother of the freshmen, Dean Ray Untereiner. is the first person to hear the many troubles of the year- lings. His Wise counsel has been a great aid in helping the bewildered first year man to get his bearings ..... Home office of the dreaded blue slips is that of Registrar Philip S. Fogg. It is his unpleasant duty to inform all be- low average students that the clay of reckoning is not far ahead unless he turns his talents to snaking instead of bulling ..... It is no easy job to keep track of the finances of an institution as large as the California Institute, but Comptroller Edward C. Barrett has proved himself well able to cope With the problem. A large part of the success of the business department is due to his ability and ex- perience ..... As Chairman of the Observatory Council that coordinates all of the work of design and construc- tion of the new two hundred inch telescope, Max Mason, has a difficult task to perform. His duties as a member of the Executive Council of the Institute make him a busy man indeed ..... Dean of the Graduate School.

As a mem- ber of the Executive Council he plans the policies of the Institute ..... Professor of Mathematics, Eric T. Bell. is famous both for his scientific treatisies and for his popular scientific fiction. His amazing stories combine both fantasy and mathematical reality ..... When the Guggen- heim Laboratory of Aeronautics was erected in 1928, Pro- fessor Theodore von Kai'man came from Germany to di- rect the work here and at the Guggenheim Airship In- stitute at Akron, Ohio. His work in the design of modern airplanes has made him a recognized authority in aeroe nautical circles. 95- 512..., 1 .5 r sits; at Juki . f w 't- 0' . ..

Indy The success of the work here at the Institute in the fields of Mechanical and Hydraulic Engineering has largely been due to the organizing ability of Professor Robert Daugherty. The author of a textbook on hydraulics, he has contributed much to the establishment Of that subject to its proper place as a true science. . . . Nobel Laureate, Chairman of the Biology Division, and Member of the Executive Council. Thomas Hunt Morgan is no arm- chair biologist. The examination of millions of Drosophila has provided him With positive proof of his theories of heredity, and has contributed much to the advancement of that field. Not content with this, however, he has conducted research into the field of experi- mental embroyoloqy where again his theories have borne fruit. . . . Complicated apparatus and involved mathematics are the foundations of Professor Linus Pauling's contributions to Chemistry.A1though he is the Director of the Gates and Crellin Laboratories of Chemistry. he still finds time to continue his important researches into crystal structure, the size of mm, and the nature of the chemical bond. Dr. Pauling attributes his rapid rise in the chemical world to his good looks, but those who know say it is due to sheer ability, helped of course by his curly hair .Professor of Civil Engineering, F ranklin Thomas. not only directs the activities of that department, but also acts as the advisory head of the Caltech Musicale These duties, combined With his interest in the local chapter of Tau Beta Pi, make him one : EPARTME e 3 38 of the most active faculty members. . . . Royal W. Sorensen, Professor of Electrical Engineer- innghairman of the Physical Education Department. and Chairman of the Faculty Com- mittee, came to Tech in 1910, intending to stay only five years. He remained because he found so many things to be done, and has been busy ever since. . . . Professor C. K. Iudy, Chairman of the Division of Humanities, came to the Institute as its only teacher of English in 1909 when Tech engineers were still rough and ready, but not much else. Since then there has grown under his direction the present excellent Humanities Division, which has the sometimes difficult task of broadening and civilizing the freshmen in four short years. . . . William B. Munro. Professor of History and Government, and Member of the Executive Council. is one of the most popular lecturers here at Tech. He likes to allow his listeners to form a hackneyed and unsound opinion and then to demolish it with a few well chosen statements. His humor is sometimes slightly satirical, and his store of anecdotes is immense. Dr. Munro knows history thoroughly, for he has written several authoritative texts and was head of the Harvard History School before coming to Tech. . . . When the Elysian Park land- slide was attracting so much attention, John Bulwalda. Chairman of the Division of Geo- logical Sciences. was called in because of his ability and experience as a physical geologist. He had a great deal to do with the planning of the new Mudd and Arms Laboratories of the Geological Sciences, and his directive ability has been of great value in the co-ordina- tion of the geological department.

Osborn, did honor to C.I.T. in pursuing the student body business during c1 year marked With such headlines as: Ccdtech Returns to Con- ference. RIC. Riot at Caltech. Ccdtech Cruel to Goldfish, Is Claim of Humane Society. Every effort this year was expended toward the success and improvement of our athletic situation, especially since re-entrance into the So. Conference. The plight of Ccdtech teams hasn't been too sunny in the past, but through the everlasting efforts of Board members, the good old Caltech spirit was raised and a huge step in the direction of a future gymnasium was taken. Since regular meetings are held every Tuesday evening, the Board is a very active and efficient mechanism of the student'gov- ernment. It has the power to plan a budget and authorize expendi- tures, make awards and appointments, and in general supervise the student body activities. Beck, Pauli Norton, White, Spielberger, White Weir. Reynolds, Farrington, Lakes, Hicks The Board of Control is the judicial body of the Associated Student Body and its primary duty is to enforce the Honor System. The Board continued the policy established last year, which was to prevent violations before they could oCcur rather than to punish them. Under the able leadership of student body vice-president Duane Beck, the Board had a most successful year. Few violations of the Honor System occured and the Board took active steps to acquaint the student body more fully with the principles and applications of the Honor System. This was done in conjunction with the Faculty-Student Relations Committee by means of publishing a small pamphlet describing and explaining the Honor System. The policy of publishing cases in brief in the California Tech was again followed. A subsidiary of the Board of Control was the Court of Traditions. This body con- sisted of four men, one from each class selected from the Board and its duty was to enforce and promote college traditions. One new tradition promoted this past year was the establishment of a victory flag, which is to be raised on the flag pole after each conference victory. Members of this year's court were: Robert White, chairman; Gordon Weir; Eugene Lakos; William Hicks; and Duane Beck, ex-officio. Lewis MacKay White Dawson Hart Spielberger Myers Goodmanson Campbell NEW OFFICERS At the close of the second term. the Board of Directors for the coming year was elected. Popular Lloyd Goodmanson was voted to head the corporation. Others elected were: Iack White, Vice-president; Bob Myers, secretary; Bob Spielberger, treasurer; Wallace MacKay, publicity man- ager; Don Campbell, athletic manager; Don Dawson, rally chairman, and Ioe Lewis and Wilson Hart, representatives-at-large. Campbell MacKay Marriot Longfelder Kupfer Root Thomas Anderson Oder The publicity committee, headed by Keith Anderson, secured publicity for the student body in newspapers and newsreels. Coverage of all athletic contests, social highlights on the campus, and such special events as Rodeo Day and Exhibit Day was obtained by this committee, as well as the pub- licizing of the activities and honorsxof individual students in their home- town newspapers. 7 INEERHQUSE COMMI TEE Guillou I Flint White Palmer I Manildi Carstarphen x Ropp Paul Richards The Interhouse Committee is made up of the presidents and Vice-presidents of the four Houses and Throop Club.

Although the total attendance was nearly 20,000, the efficient handling of the traffic prevented the occurrence of any major traffic jams. An innovation this year was in the program, which was a special edition of the California Tech edited by the Press Club. ; ELECTION COMMITTEE, Richards, McClung Thomas, Steinmetz MacKuy Smith Widdoes, Campbell Marriot. Chopin Davis Paul Anderson, Longfelder. Reimers, Root Strong Controlling one of the most important of the student body functions, the Election Committee is composed of men who are carefully chosen to insure fair elections. This committee must speedily count and tabulate the results of all elections. This year the chairman of the committee was Harlowe Longfelder, who instituted several changes to obtain more accurate results. RALLY COMMITTEE r Widdoes Blight Goodmanson Dawson Foster The most important function of the Rally Committee was the handling of the pajamarino, the traditional rally which was held before the Oxy game, at which three hundred and forty-seven pajama clad Techmen were present. Under the leadership of Lloyd Goodmanson, several football and basketball rallies, and numerous entertainments were presented. xx$ x $$$ $$$ :.$ 3 xxx SENIORS LAWSON President DIEHM BRAGG SNYDER Vice-President Secretary Treasurer SENIOR CLASS 'Way back in 1935, a group of bewildered youngsters arrived at Caltech, some of which were destined to become the class of '39. On being informed of the traditional Freshman-Sophomore Rodeo, the group made plans to stem what had heretofore been inevitable defeat; and although they fought valiantly, they were forced to yield to the experienced and shady tactics of the Sopho- mores. As losers, they presented an elaborate rodeo dance, which was enjoyed by all who attended. The officers for the year were Caulfield, president,- Spotts, Vice-president; Nortonf-t'slecretary; and Macleish, treasurer. As the class reached its Sophomore year, a number of men decided that they did not like the Institute and a number of others found that scholastically the Institute did not like them. Those who remained, however, assuming the full dignity of their new position, developed to a high degree the technique of mass abduction and rendered to the Freshmen a crushing defeat at the Rodeo. This year's executives were White, Paul, Frampton, and Thomas. In the Junior Year, the class, becoming ever smaller but being restocked by unsuspecting transfers, elected as their officers Osborn, president; Sullivan, vice-president; Guillou, secretary; and Anderson, treasurer. This time the class viewed the Rodeo from the sidelines and fulfilled its duty in seeing that no im- proprieties were practiced. The class also helped in presenting the Garden Party and the lunior-Senior Prom, both of which met with great success. As the class of '39 reached its final year, it began to regard the past with long- ing, and View the future with doubt and wonder. Officers elected were Lawson, president; Diehm, vice-president; Bragg, secretary; and Snyder, treasurer; who were ably assisted by a number of committees which arranged the social pro- gram and handled such problems regarding graduation as announcements, class gifts, etc. The Senior Year reached its social climax with the Iunior-Senior Prom and the Iunior-Senior Garden Party. Although some of the class plan graduate work and others plan to enter industrial life, they all regard their years at Tech as a source of many pleasant memories.

As sophomores they easily downed the frosh in the annual rodeo, win- ning every event handily. The Sophomore A.S.B. formal, held at the Flintridge Country Club, met With the gigantic approval of the large attendance. Sophomores held many key positions in campus life of the yearein honorary or- ganizations, publications, student body and house offices, and in numerous other extracurricular ac- tivities. Tech's varsity teams were strongly bolstered by the sopho- more athletes, Who proved invalu- able in every sport. The class of '41 again proved a well-knit unit, excelling in all phases of student life-scholastically, socially, athlet- ically. Belle; Reimers Bramhall Lewis The Freshman Class made a remark- able record this year, excelling in both athletics and intellectual activity. A freshman camp was held at the start of the year in the San Bernardino mountains to acquaint the frosh with their future and their classmates. On returning from camp the football team defeated Pomona on Pomona's home field for the first time in Tech his- tory. Throughout the year, the athletic and debate teams many times brought home the honors. The freshmen acted as guards over the bonfire that was to blaze at the Pajamarino, and protected the Beaver from the over-confident, alien hands of Tech's opponents. A Y.M.C.A. group was formed which met weekly at a lunch in lower Blacker to enjoy a talk by some notable speaker. Most original accomplishment of the Class was the formation of the under- graduate Experimentation Club. Hicks Brown Blight Hendrickson FRESHMAN CLASS First row: Urbach, Turner, Seegman.

An indication of Blacker's rise in athletics may be seen in the undefeated wrestling and handball teams. In general the house teams were stronger thcxn last year because of increased interest on the part of the house members. Under the direction of David Steinmetz the social program was both full and distinctive. Blacker members enthusiastically received four formal dances, concluded by a spring formal in the court. Dr. Harvey Eagleson, the Blacker resident-associate, planned the campus treasure Beller Conner Carey Crane Eagleson German Griffiths Hart Ingalls Fahs Gewe Grossberg Hayes Ianssen hunt which was intriguing and strenuous. A nursery party was presented by the senior class. The juniors offered the black and white formal. By popular request the sophomores provided a hay ride and the lowly frosh did nobly with a German beer garden theme. Finale of the social season was a tea dance at the Cocoanut Grove. Since a Blacker man was elected Second Representative at Large in the last student body election, Blacker continues to be represented on the Board of Directors. Exhibit Day chairman was also a Blacker member. Officers for the year were: F. Chandler Ingalls, president; Ioseph Manildi, Viceepresi- dent,- Andrew Harmon, treasurer; Paul Farrington, secretary; and Iohn Small and Iohn Spikes, athletic managers.

The highlights of the season were: the famed Dabney Hodge-Podge, CI formal dance at the Hollywood Roosevelt, the formal given by Dr. and Mrs. Munro, and the annual Spring Dance. These were supplemented With many informal dances, snow parties, skating parties, and inter-qlley contests. This year the non-resident associates of the house started CI very suc- cessful policy of inviting the house officers to their homes. e Dabney has had men participating in 0:11 varsity sports, ctnd has made a good showing in the field of athletics.

Members of Dabney were also active in the Y.M.C.A., played in the orchestra and the band, and sang in the glee club. Although Dabney is the smallest house on the campus, it is not the smallest in spirit as members have been active in all phases of student life. Its small size helps foster this very fine attitude that exists in the house. The men Who led the house this year were: Charles Carstarphen, president; Carl Paul, vice-president; Mark Mills, secretary,- Robert Alcock, treasurer; and John Barber, athletic manager.

FLEMING' HOUSE Fleming's grade average has been sufficient to allow its members to live Without great fear of retirement. The bronze interhouse athletic award has been over Fleming's mantle for five years. It is thought by many that With favorable fortune and the continued excellent support of all Fleming men the much coveted award shall stay in Fleming lounge. During the last year Fleming men have been successful in many house athletic contests as well as in frosh and varsity sports. It is With particular pride that Fleming notes its victory in basket- ball this year. For the last four years Fleming has held the championship in that spe- cial sport. Fleming enjoyed an interesting and varied social program throughout the past year. Smokers, roller skating parties, house sport dances, and a few outstanding formals kept the members busy. Perhaps the most outstanding affair was the formal dinner dance held at the fine Annandale Country Club. The third term holds for Fleming this year, as in past years, the lure of an all day beach party. The inter-alley contests, While not parties, might be termed social events and Will long be remembered. Iones. Second tow: Iongeneel, Kemp, Kepler, Langerud, Larson, Allen Anderson Bangs.

This year saw the house officers-William Ropp, president; William Brown, Vice-president; Harlowe Longfelder, treasurer; Bill Chapin, secretary; and Herb Strong, athletic manager-carry out a very successful and varied program With the cooperation of the house members. New, very popular, resident associate was William O. Wetmore. Again Ricketts was unequaled in social activities; its formal, held at the Cocoanut Grove, found fifty couples having a thoroughly enjoy- able evening. To all the dances Ricketts men turned out full force. Especially notable in the program were the class dances, successful for two years, and the spring dance. An otf-campus orchestra barn dance took place in the early spring. A bowling party was included among the stags. This year was one of the least successful in recent Ricketts athletic history, although the football team, the greatest in house annals, won the championship easily tundefeated, untied, and unscored upont. At the present time, with the final point score untotaled, it looks as though the Ricketts runner-up jinx for the interhouse trophy is still operative. Discobolus was held throughout the year unchallenged. Intercollegiate athletics again claimed many of the members of the house. To complete the well-balanced program Ricketts participated in a diversity of extra- curricular activities. Again Ricketts men occupied editorship positions in most of the pub- lications and dominated in many student body committees. In the spring student body elections four Ricketts men were elected to the Board of Directors, including the president. Class officers. Board of Control members, and honorary organization positions help to complete the picture. First Row: Longielder, MacKay, Meyer, Myers! Nagle, Nukcxdcx, Norton. Nyberg, Oakley.

Fox Stanton Coach La Salle Hugh Bradner Coach Musselman Hal Musselman Doctor Hones Coach Cooper One of the hardest teaching positions here at Tech is that of a coach. Very few of the students have had any previous athletic experience, and it is necessary to work with this green material. Coupled With this difficulty is that of the lack of adequate equipment. The basketball, swimming, and other indoor sports teams do not have a gymnasium of their own, and it is necessary to travel to other schools to practice. The locker and shower facilities of the home field are almost non-existent, and it is a common experience to find men dressing in extremely overcrowded conditions. The extremely rigid scholas- tic standards of the Institute present another obstacle in the path of successful teams. Many potentially great athletes find it impossible to go out for a sport and keep up in their classwork. Coaching the track and varsity football teams is Fox Stanton. Manager of Athletics Hal Z. Mussela man coaches varsity baseball, and Mel Levit handles the frosh. Varsity and fresh swimming and water polo are under the direction of Hugh Bradner, While Coach Cooper handles varsity basketball. Frosh foot- ball is headed by Clay Smith and Claude Brown, While frosh basketball is dominated by John Price. Clay Smith also coaches the fresh track team, While two students. Bill Brumfield and Mark Mills take care of boxing and wrestling. Doctor Hanes is the trainer of all the teams. Y E L L; LEADERS One of the most difficult tasks here at Tech is that of yell leader. His is a thank- less task, yet a very necessary one. He performs a definite service in attempting to urge on our athletic teams by infusing in them some of his own and the students spirit. Losing teams are not conducive to school spirit, and the yell leader must spend a great deal of time building up the moral of the student body. Their cooperation is an important factor in the production of winning teams, and it is up to the yell leaders to see that the students get behind the men on the field and aid them in every way possible. The yell leaders are responsible for all organized yelling and cheering at all games and rallies. Lawrence One of the most difficult schools to enthuse, Tech is nevertheless capable of a great deal of spirit. Applied in the right way, it can make a losing team into a powerful foe. and often means the difference between victory and defeat. Once they have been weaned from their slide rules, the students become a powerful motivating force. Don Dawson, assisted by Bruce Lawrence has done an excel- lent job. The spirit of the student body, as, evidenced by game attendance and pre-game rallies, this year was better than for many years. Dawson and Lawrence have begun a tradition that; it carried out, Will result in athletic teams at Tech that will once again head the conference. Dawson 3?? r $qfr2$aw A' L. . 6.? A $4 '13 3'1 :5 u a A -. FOOTBALL bench gets its instructions This year's Tech Varsity was again characteristic of the FOX Stanton coached teams in that it showed more fight and grit per pound than any team it played all season, but as customary was out- weighed in all but one encounter. The moral and spirit shown by this year's squad was excellent. The Engineers scored a victory over the La Verne Leopards, 13 to 6, in next to the last game of the season for their lone victory. Loyola's powerful grid machine proved more than Tech could cope With in the first game of the sea- son. Although holding the Lions 13 to O at the half, the opposition's reserve proved too great and the game ended 51 to O. The Tech of- fense remained spectacular until the last gun, With the pigskin floating through the air on nearly every play, Which kept the Loyolans on their toes to the end. FOOTBALL San Iose State, highest scoring team in the United States last year, was Tech's second op- ponent. Again the Beavers fought brilliantly for the first eleven minutes, keeping the Spartans from scoring on several occasions. Long gallops of fifty and sixty yards, however. gave the Statesmen touchdowns which eventually resulted in CI score of 52 to O, in spite of the fact that Tech held them scoreless from the start of the third quarter until the last four minutes of the fracas. Redlands was the first Conference opponent the Stantonmen played, and in spite of some inspired playing the Engineers trailed by 0: score of 18 to 6 at the end of one of the most thrill- ing games of the season. An intercepted pass on the'Redlcmds thirtynsix by Johnny Small paved the way for the lone Tech tally. Line plays by Small and Sohler finally resulted in Sohler's four yard touchdown plunge. The Bulldog's ground attack was nipped in the bud and they were only able to score by the aerial route. Next week the Beavers traveled to the San Diego Marines, and returned nursing c1 38 to 0 de- feat. Once again the Engineers held the Devil Dogs 6 to 0 Ct half time, but lack of weight be- gun to tell soon in the third quarter. San Diego fans were the best sportsmen of the year in cheering for the tricky Stanton offensive attack. FOOTBALL The next Conference game, this time with Pomona, saw the Engineers at their zenith of play although they lost to the League Champion by 20 to 7. The line work of the Beavers was their best all season. A twenty yard pass from Beck to lake Browne accounted for the lone touchdown, with Don Walter converting. McCreery and Hofmann both played topnotch ball game. The Engineers experienced a letdown after the Pomona game, and lost to Occi- dental 25 to 0. Glenn Groves' long runs scored all the touchdowns. Tech's closest scoring threat ended on the Oxy sixteen yard line. Outstanding for Tech were Capt. Lawson, Biddison, and Mc'Creery. The La Verne Armistice Day game repaid the handfull of spectators who jour- neyed to La Verne. Tech's classy field work was more superior than the 13 to 6 victory would indicate. The first Tech score came after a sustained drive of five first downs, when a tackle eligible pass carried Griswold into pay dirt. Second score was the result of a sixty yard march, with Sohler scoring and Walter con- verting. Duane Beck played outstanding ball, as did both Eusey and Small. W alter Hoffman Deviricm McCreery Goodell Griswold Tech lost the mythical Pasadena City Champion- ship to Pasadena Iunior College, 39 to 6. Jackie Robinson, ebony flash, was the winner's team. The Tech touchdown came in the last few seconds of play. After Sohler had been called back from a touchdown by a penalty, he retaliated and threw the next pass to Beck to score the final touchdown. which brought the curtain down on the season of the high spirited, well named, Fighting Engineers. Five returning lettermen were the nucleus of this year's squad. The number of men who turned out was rather scarce. This lack. of substitutions was heavily felt in all of the games and partially ac- counts for the several defeats which were incurred. Captain William Lawson, the dynamic leader of the Beaver team, who did much to bolster up the spirit and fight of the players, was awarded the Wheaton Football Trophy at the annual grid ban- quet which was held in Culbertson Hall. The first string was composed of Walter and Law- son at ends, Griswold and Biddison, assisted by Eusey, at tackles, Dumont Staatz and Sviminoff at guard positions. and lack Goodell at center, who was pushed near the end of the season by scrappy Larry Widdoes. In the backfield Duane Beck was the signal caller, with lake Browne and Frank Mc- Creery at half positions, and Stan Sohler in the full- back berth. Touchdown! The varsity defense and offense was gradually smoothed out as the season progressed. The scrub team, coached by H. Z. Musselman and headed by Captain Herb Strong, aided considerably in developing the tricky running plays and flashy aerial attacks. Although only CI few of the scrubs were enabled to enter into actual competition, they were the backbone of the team's preparation. Besides aiding materially the de- velopment of the varsity, mcmy of the scrubs showed great improvement, and is a result will probably become the nucleus of next year's varsity squa . 7B 81 93 BS First row: Nakada, Browne, Sohler, Biddison.

Hard hitting Don Whitey Walter played top notch foot- ball the entire season, and was a mainstay in the Tech line. Because of his leader- ship, ability. and remarkable service to the team this year, he was elected Captain for the 1939 qrid- season. Captain Lawson VARSITY FROSHF The Tech frosh football team boasted of tremendous man power at the beginning of the season, but as the season progressed injuries and slide-rules kept the players away from the field. Coached by Claude Brown. last year's varsity captain, and Clay Smith, three year letterman, the frosh rounded into shape rapidly for their first match with the P.IC. Spartans. However, the team had a few rough spots and was nosed out 20 to 12 in the final count. The fresh highlight was the Pomona game, when the Beaverbabes came back to win 27 to 20 after trailing 20 to 2 at the halftime. Midterms and blue slips began to take their toll and the yearlings lost to Webb 20 to 6 in a game that saw Webb's superiority in the air, and the Beaver's superiority on the ground. In a prelimi- nary to the Oxy varsity game, the fresh were walloped to the tune of 29 to O by a spanking good Oxy Tigerette eleven. The Redlands game was probably the strong- est of the entire season, with all substitutes entering the game, including the manager. First stringers included Warren Gillette. George Lind, Dave Browne, Dave How- ton, William Boyer, Douglas MacCarter, Thomas Elliott, Art Blight, Paul Becker, Rob Cyr, Henry Reese, Cliff Truesdell, and Har- rison Price. Many of these men should prove valuable to next year's varsity squad. First row: Price, Mac- Arthur. Lind, Gillette, Kendall, Howton, Reese, Schureman, Stevens, Vail, Ersoz.

With five return- ing lettermen, led by Captain Duane Beck. and several frosh numeral men, headed by high-scorinq Bob Myers. the team flashed championship form at times. Still, as always, handicapped by the lack of their own gym, the basketeers practiced this year at P. I. C. New coach for the year was George Cooper. The league opener with Pomona resulted in a 57-28 defeat for the Techmen. Inability to hit the hoop consistently helped to spell defeat for the Beavers. The best league game turned in by the cagers was the first Occidental tussle. Although holding a 24-14 halftime lead, the Beavers were nipped by a closing Tiger rally, the game ending 45-41. Bob Myers hiqh-pointed for the evening with 19 digits. Goodmanson Sohler The smooth Redlands five handed the Engineers their next defeat. Although trailing the Beavers at the three- quarter mark, the Bulldogs pulled away to chalk up a 45-32 Win. Traveling to the Border City, the varsity cagers were massacred, 6514, by the San Diego State hoop squad. Conference champions, the Aztecs had one of the strongest college teams in the entire country. The Techmen fell victims to the Whittier Poets in their next tussle, swallowing Ct 65-47 defeat. Then the second Oxy fracas resulted in a 52-23 Bengal victory. The fast Chapman team gave the Engineers a 66-36 licking in c: non-conference game. The last conference tussle saw Pomona hand the Beaver five a 55-35 loss, with Morris, Sagehen center, setting up a new conference scoring record of 34 points. Even though they were leading LCI Verne at the half, the Tech bczsketeers dropped their season finale to the Leopards, 55-40. Myers Osborn Lettermen for the year included Capt. Beck, Goodin, Sullivan, Osborn, Myers. Goodman- son, Cooper, Wal- ter,andSoh1er.

F FROSH BASKETBALL Experiencing a disastrous season, the frosh casabamen emerged from their schedule without a mark . in the win column. Practicing in the Eagle Rock High School gym, the frosh were handicapped this year by the lack of experienced material. However, much improvement was shown through- out the year. Iohn Price, Y. M. C. A. secretary, mentored the yearlings this year. Webb School furnished the peagreeners with their first de- feat, dishing out a 44-24 setback. Then the powerful Whittier frosh followed this by dealing the Beaver Babes an 85-15 loss. The Tech frosh showed much improvement in their tilt with the Oxy yearlings, but still went down in defeat, losing 57-33. The next reverse was administered by the tricky Chapman squad. when the fresh tasted a 70-22 beating. The Engineer first-year-men turned in a better brand of ball against the Pomona Sagechicks, but again emerged the losers, the final tally standing 50-38. The season ended with another loss as the baby Flat-tails were outclassed by the La Verne frosh 51-34. Numeral-winners were Capt. Kendall, Gayer, True,A1brecht, Van Ness, Miller. and Bluemle. mung.

Young won the javelin throw, McCreery the broadjump, and again Eusey took second with OI heave of 39' 3M1 , the same as in the previous meet. Fresh Schneider won the mile and took second in the two mile, while Bowen grabbed second in the 220 and third in. the 100. The Southern California College Relays were held at Oxy and the Tech squad managed to carry home seventeen medals. The frosh medley relay of Gillette, Bowen, Densmore, and Schneider, running the 220, 220, 440, and 880, respectively, set a new record of 3:419 minutes, erasing the old mark of 3:470 minutes held by Pomona. The fresh four mcm hodf mile team was nosed out at the finish in a race that tied the San Diego State record. quithworite, Perry Brown. Harr, and Bragg ran third in the four mcm half mile. In the novice four man mile relay the Tech team came in fourth. Pomona nosed Tech out by one point to take second in the final point standings. OXY placed fifth. T R A C K In the varsity Oxy-Tech meet the Beavers were on the low end of CI 91V2 to 391k score. Bowers leaped 6' 3 to tie for first, and Tyler Matthew soared 12' 6 to win his special event. Joe Smith, recently converted to the mile from the 880, surprised everybody by romping home the Victor. Rupert won the two mile run. Bragg took second in the 100, 220, and discus throw, White Perry Brown lost out in a 440 nip and tuck finish to Sherman Dcmby with a time of 51.6 seconds. Don Walter grabbed two thirds in the hurdles. Playing host in at five way meet, Tech was second to Santa Barbara, 74 to 51 V2. While Chapman, La Verne, and Loyola trailed in order. Bill Braithwaite distinguished himself by coppinq the 100, as did Keith Anderson in Winning the 880. Perry Brown won the quarter and Bragg took second in the sprints. Tech lost the last meet of the season to Redlands With Ct score of 48W; to 82V2, With Lloyd Goodmanson being the Tech star by scoring first in the hurdle runs and tying for third in the pole-vcxult. Rupert won the two mile, and McCreery leaped 20' 11 to annex his favorite event. Ropp leads Rupert Walter Bragg This year's varsity track awards numbered fifteen, of which eight were won by graduating seniors.

There were six returning lettermen and the rest were mainly from the hard hitting frosh team of last year. In practice games the Beavers were able to win five out of twelve games. A large number of games were played this year because of cm abundance of pitchers which included Bob Myers, Jim Kemp, Glenn Billmqn, and George C'rozier. The first league encounter found the Engine ers meeting the Redlands nine in Tournament Park and losing by a score of 9 to 2 against the chucking of Dick Pazder.

The Poets were able to hammer out double header victories 11 to 0 and 7 to 2 to rout the Beavers in Ct game which showed the potentialities of the squad with some brilliant spots of field work. San Diego was Tech's third league opponent, and although they lost 7 to 1 and 4 to 0 the Techmen played their best game of the year to date, and showed that the possibili- ties of winning several future games were very good. It's a hit! BASEBALL The following WednesdayHOXy came over to Tech and limped back home with a 7 to 3 defeat. Coach Musselmari said that it was the best played game by a Tech ball team in six years. Iim Kemp on the mound kept the visitors to tour scattered hits, while the home forces connected for ten hits, when needed, to win the game. Engelder at first, Reimers at second, Bob Myers at short, and White at third proved to be a smooth working field. George Meyer behind the plate was getting off some good pegs. The outfield of Billman. Crozier, and Strong covered the field in good fashion in aiding the team to win their first conference Victory. The chances for remaining game Victories look good at midseason. The leading Tech hitters were Clark with .500, Billman with .364, and Strong with .308. Bob Myers made a splendid recovery after getting hit in the eye with a pitched ball in the Wood- bury game a month earlier, and returned to aid materially in the Oxy Victory. Coach Musselman recommended thirteen ball players for lettermen sweaters at the end of a season that saw Tech push Pomona into the cellar position in Conference standings! Captain Bob White, stellar third baseman, received his second letter and led the team with distinction to climax o: worthy athletic career. Sophomore Glenn Billman alternated between pitching duties and flashy field- ing, and should be of greatservice to next year's team. Versatile George Crozier; three year veteran of the' diamond, was first string shortstop and also relief pitcher. Crozier hit .286 and was known for his good throwing arm. Lead-oif batter, Paul Engelder, three year letterman, was the spark plug of this year's team. His loss will be felt deeply. . Schneider Meyer Enqelder Bob Gewe, back in school again after a year's absence, won his second letter in right field and substituted as a catcher when needed. Iim Kemp had first interest on the pitching mound, but also lobkecl good in centerfield. Kemp pitched When the Engineers toppled the Oxy Tigers in their first game. Curtis Lee. senior right fielder, started hit- ting in the last few games of the season to lead the team With cm average of .364. Sophomore George Meyer caught nearly every game for the Beavers cmd finished With Ct batting average of .318. Bob Myers, of basketball fame, won his letter at pitching and at short. Myers' pitching won the Pomona game at the end of the season. George Reimers was kept very busy attending to his second base job, and although CI sophomore, cinched his position When the season was yet young. Selmer Schneider took over second base When Reimers got tired. Both second basemen kept the infield and bench talk lively at all times. Herb Strong, senior right and left fielder, accounted for a batting average of .280 to win his letter and end his four years at Tech. Captain W'hite Warming up F R O S H First row: Hedrick, Roese, Stone, True, Lawrence, Hogan. Second row: Coach Levtt, Le Fever, Allen, Rhyne. Stevens, Pictt, Oechsli. Under the able tutelage of Coach Mel Levet, last year's varsity baseball captain and c1 three year lettermcm, the yearling Engineers have been coming into form nicely. To date the frosh have only played two games because of ct late season start. Both games were with Oxy. and the Beaverbabes won the first one with a score of 5 to 4. Hedrick fanned out seventeen batters in the Oxy game to take mound honors. The starting lineup for this encounter consisted of Lung- don, Hedrick, Henry Roese, Gerald Hogan, Ralph LaFever, Leighton True. Russell Rhyme, Theodore Bluemle, Harvey Lawrence, and chk Stone. Some of the frosh mq- teriql Will be of considerable value to the varsity team next year. Strikel Captained by Fred Brunner, this year's tennis team has made cm eX- cellent showing, as Tech returned to the Conference this year. In a prac- tice match Which showed the Beaver. power PIC. was toppled 13 to 9. A practice match With UCLA. was lost, but the netmen came back strong to down Pomona twice in successive matches With a score of 6 to 3 both times. Still riding high, the Engineers defeated Whittier 8 to 1 but lost the next two matches to Oxy 5 to 4 and 7 to 2. Harper hits a high one Skulecky picks it up Brunner serves it hot Skalecky Turner Fisher N I S Coached by Joseph La Salle, and headed by Captain Brunner, the team was composed of Joe Rominger, Bob Fisher, Iohn Harper, Dale Turner, cmd Frank Skalecky. At present the Tech team is standing high in the league ratings. Fred Brunner has had only one de- feat in singles. and that was to Bobbitt of Oxy a week after Brunner sprained his ankle in the first Oxy match. The tennis team has hcrd the highest rank- ing of any of the Tech teams in major sports. Next year's varsity team should be an all around winner, With nearly the entire team returning next year. Turner in some fast action Brunner Rominger Rominqer looks it over Harper Fisher puts it over The frosh racketeers played through Ct good season With twin victories over the Occidental fresh, 9 to O and 8 to 1, and twin losses to Pomona, 2 to 7 and 1 to 8, and returned to the Victory column with cm 8 to 1 victory over Burbank. The frosh had a lively squad this year and several good players have been discovered. At present the tennis squad consists of Martin Gayer. Charles Pearson, Paul McKibben, Robert Hobbs, Arnold Grossberq, Frank Wood, Paul Allen, Art Blight, ccnd Norman Glover. Be- cause of the yearlinqs' success this season, some of the players should have a good chance to make the varsity next year. On with the match Allen, Hobbs. Wood. McKibben, Coach LaSalle. r mr' 3 .

One With Occi- dental which was lost by a score of 47-22, and the other with the Glendale Junior College Which was won 46-32. The Beavers showed good form in the Glendale I. C. meet with Sturdevant taking three first places; the 100 yard free style, the 200 yard free style, and the 400 yard free style, in addition to swimming on the winning relay team. Shod- grass took first in the diving and also swam on the winning relay squad. This year's team had only a handful of men, but each was capable of entering and garnering points in several events. When this book went to press, the frosh team had yet to prove itself in actual intercollegiate com- petition. Practice meets, however, proved that the small group of men possessed a great deal of ability. They should prove a valu- able addition to next year's var- sity squad. The teams have been seriously handicapped by the lack of a pool of their own to practice in. Much valuable time was wasted in travelling back and forth to various pools. and it is sincerely hoped that someday in the near future Tech Will have a pool of their own. ' Mills, Greenwood, Fox, Cox, Merrick. Albrecht. Woods.

Los Angeles I. C., U.C.L.A., U.S.C., and Occidental. Although having difficulty get- t ting into the Win column against such competition, the team deserves much credit for the t commendable showing they did make. Awards were given to Snodgmss, Sturdevqnt, Davis, Campbell, Gold, Hayes, Partch, Buss, and Crane. The Frosh team had the same schedule except for UCLA. and U.S.C.

The present totals find Fleming leading With Ricketts. Throop Club, Dabney, and Blacker following in that order. Ricketts started the first term off With a bang by producing a powerful aggregation of gridders Who ended the Schedule unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon. The Fleming softballers captured the indoor baseball title, and. the Throop leather lungers nabbed the cross country crown. In the points awarded for varsity sports rating for the trophy, Fleming copped the honors With Throop second. Throop was awarded first in fresh rating, With Fleming, Dabney, Blacker. and Ricketts trailing. Second term competition saw Fleming trounce their opponents to take top casaba honors. The Ricketts and Throop hoopsters 'tied for second, With Dabney and Blacker tied for fourth. Blacker won the first place points in handball With Throop, Fleming, Ricketts, and Dabney bringing up the rear. The Ricketts spikesters again rem, jumped, and distanced their way to the interhouse track championship, nosing out the Fleming cindermen for the high place. Blacker's grapplers eked out Ct Win over the Ricketts pachyderms to grunt off With the house wrestling title. Ricketts Football Champions Fleming Softball Champions Ricketts Track Champions Varsity basketball rating went to the numerous Ricketts caqers, while the frosh points were split between Throop cmd Fleming. House contests are still left in tennis. baseball, and swimming. Ricketts or Fleming should win the net crown this year, and Fleming's big guns should hit their way into the horsehide Win column. The swimming spree should again be a struggle between the Ricketts splashers and the Fleming paddlers. Discobolus, which travels from house to house, spent most of the year in Ricketts. A chal- lenge trophy. it rested for short intervals on the mqntels of Dabney, Blacker, but always seemed to end in the Ricketts lounge. VARSITY C R o S s COUNTRY As usual, the turnout for varsity cross country was very large, with the main part of the team being moulded around Captain Keith Ander- son, William Bezdecheck, Cloud Rupert, Robert Grigg. Iean Stevens, B111 Marriott, Erwin Baumqarten, and Charles Payne. In the Confer- ence League finals at Clare- mont the Tech team placed fourth. The frosh leather lungers had almost as big a turnout as did the varsity, and man- aged to take a very close second in the league finals. The yearling team consisted of Densmore, Schneider, Vail, Ierrems, Greenwood. and Ellis. Schneider takes first. Coach Hones, Marriott, Grigq. Anderson, Payne, Stevens.

Each year, selections of members are made from the upper quarter of the senior class and the upper eighth of the junior class. To become a member, a student must participate and show great interest in outside activities as well as be able to excel scholastically. Within the chapter are several of the school's best athletes, and leaders in forensics. dramatics, and publications. The first group of pledges was taken into the organization in November. An ice skating party was held at the Polar Palace, and in spite of the forced landings, the outing was a success. A grueling month of exacting pledge duties culmi- nated in a fine banquet at the Athenaeum. Dur- ing the second term, the pledge party was held at a bowling alley. The banquet at the Athenaeum was followed by a talk by Mr. Iunian Hines, of the Metropolitan Water District, who was initiated into the Tau Beta Pi that evening. A twenty minute skit was presented by the incoming mem- bers, and although it was very bad, the pledges derived much pleasure from presenting it. The third term saw many social functions. A banquet in Los Angeles at the Clark Hotel was given for the seniors by the alumni association The main social event was the Tau Beta Pi Formal Dance, held in Dabney Hall. An enormous bent, the insignia of the organization, was suspended above the dancers, and lent atmosphere to the evening. A beach party, with dates, was held at the very last of the third term. Officers for the year were President: Robert White; Vice President: Mark Mills; Correspond- ing Secretary: Charles Carstarphen; Recording- Secretary: Chandler Ingalls; Treasurer: Philip Smith; Cataloguer: Albert Green.

Second row: Strong, Myers, Norton, chrstcxrphen, Hicks, Stevens, Richards, Axtmcm, Marriott, Foster, Palmer, White, Walter. Third row: Root, Flint. Steinmetz, Longielder, Mcnildi, Widdoes, Dawson. The Caliech Beavers form an honorary service organization Who are by charter limited to fifty men or less. Its aims are to stimulate ctll Student Body activities, to promote friendly relations between colleges. and to extend all possible courtesies to Visitors. Members of the organization may be easily recognized by their sleeVeless white sweaters with the Beaver emblem on the front. These members are Tech men who have done the most outstanding work in promoting school spirit. They consider it their duty to encourage participation in, and attendance at, all Student Body activities and attempt to infuse some of their own spirit for the almcz mater into the Student Body as CI whole. The success of the Oxy bonfire-pajctmqrino was due to the enthusiasm and hctrd work on the part of the Beavers in conjunction With the Rally Committee. VARSITY CLUB After several years of inactivity, in which nearly all existing Varsity Club members graduated. there has been a promising movement among the few existing members toward the reorganization and the revitalizing of this once powerful campus group. Late in the spring of 1939 this movement was well under way, many new members having been taken into the club, among them many active sophomores. Under the splendid leadership of Cydnor Biddison as president, it is hoped that the club will once again become the most active organization on the campus. The main purpose of the Varsity Club is to extend and stress the advan- tages that intercollegiate athletics can give to athletes. The club, with a watchful eye on character, sponsors intercollegiate competition as being one of the most efficient ways of rounding out a man's life. A small golden pendant, facsimile of the varsity T worn by varsity letter Winners, is the distinguishing mark by which the prominent Varsity Club members can be recognized. The fortunate few that are eligible to wear these distinctive T's are elected by the active members of the club from the athletes Who have earned a varsity award in a major sport. Senior managers and outstanding minor sports lettermen are the only exceptions to this rule. The club expects to live up to the standards set in previous years under the outstanding leadership of Cydnor Biddison as president; Dumont Staatz as vice-president; and Lawrence Widdoes as secretary-treasurer.

THE CHURL The Churl was presented by Pi Kappa Delta in the first term. The play was one of the best which has been given, and it attained record breaking audiences at both its matinee and evening performances. The play deals with a courtesan who succeeds in securing costly presents from a pompus, but stupid, army captain throught vile trickery. The male lead, Dinarchus, was played by Dwain Bowen, a promising freshman; while the fem- inine element was portrayed by Phil Smith. an old timer at the art, and Leo Lavatelli, a veteran actor but a newcomer to the field of feminine impersonation. The title role, Stratilax, was played by Gordon Weir, another veteran of the stage; and a creditable performance was also made by Dick Powell, a new man. The other members of the cast included Wilton Stewart, Alvin Piatt, Ken Stevens, and Wilson Hart. As usual, the play was directed by Dr. Stanton and Dr. Eagleson. The ingen- ious makeup and costumes were designed by Mrs. Graham Laing and Mrs. Wal- lace Sterling. while much credit goes to the hard working stage crew who set up the lighting and scenery. First row: Weir. Hayes, Piatt. Second row: Powell, Lavutelli, Smith, Bowen, Stevens, Hart. As this book went to press, rehearsals for The Drummer had begun. The play was written by Ioseph Addison in the early part of the Eighteenth Century and deals With the situation caused by the antics of CI de- ceased army officer in cm allegedly haunted house, Who finally proves himself to be very much alive. The play is being directed, as usual, by DIS. Bagelson and Stanton and the cast includes the old timers Phil Smith and Gordon Weir as ravishing women and Ray Richards, Stan Rupert, and Dick Powell as male actors. New men in the play include Harry Steels, Myron Polly- Cove. Gil Hofeller, Ioe Trindle, and Boyd Marshall. In view of the amusing plot, the talented cast, and the able directors, the play promises to be a great success.

' Scarborough Osborn The California Gamma Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta is the Caltech branch of the famous national forensics honor society. Its members are carefully chosen from those Who have distinguished themselves in the field of public speaking and debate; and although it com- prises a small group, it is one of the most active organizations on the campus. Aided by Pasadena I. C., the chapter was host at this year's Pi Kappa Delta re- gional debate tournament, at Which schools from all over the western United States were represented. The Pi Kappa Delta Chapter also sponsored and managed as usual this year's annual classical play, The Chur1 ea play Which achieved remarkable success. Proceeds from the play were used to defray the expenses of debate trips. First row: Inqalls, Scarborough, Truesdell. Second row: Marriott, Flint, Kohl, Smith. The Caltech debate squad this year showed great promise but was unsuccessful in obtaining many decisions. The out- standing characteristic of most of the teams was not oratorical fluency but eco- nomic soundness of argu- ment. The governmental policy of Pump Priming was the topic argued, and a sincere effort was made to discover its true effects. Under the coaching of Dean Untereiner and the managing of Robert Buss, the squad participated in the tournaments at Bakersfield, Redlands, Pasadena I. C., Stockton, Linfield, and Caltech. The team of Robert Buss and Clifford Truesdell repre- sented Caltech in more than thirty-five debates and succeeded in plac- ing at Redlands and at Stockton. A course in the funda- mentals of debate for those without previous experience was offered the Freshmen by Dean Untereiner and Iohn Price. First row: Hicks, Hendrickson. Grossberq, Allen, Paul. Second row: Blight, Densmore, Wilson, Miller, Stone, Staley, Mayer, Steele.

Membership is elective and the club, by charter, is limited to twenty members. This past year was an especially active one for the Press Club. It sponsored a dance in the second term which was one of the most successful social events of the year. The members also edited a special Exhibit Day edition of the California Tech, of which more than twenty thousand copies were distributed free to the public. Officers were: Duane Beck, president; Keith Anderson, Vice-president; A1 Guillou. secretary; and Harold Mickley, treasurer. K. Anderson! N. Anderson Beck.

During the two years since the Y first felt John Price's excellent leader- ship, the Y has made most rapid strides. This year the Freshmen have responded marvelously after getting a good start With Frosh Camp and tea dance. During the term the Freshmen have overflowed the weekly Frosh luncheons. attended two retreats, and enhanced other Y activities With their cooperation. Successes appear in this year's presentation of religion, education and service. With the cooperation of campus religious groups the students have been given the advantage of Christmas and Easter Vespers, c1 series of re- ligious luncheons, and two Bible study groups. Also presented were several coeducational discussions, the Walrus Club, Peace Day, seX lectures, Far Eastern Service campaign, and intercollegiate conferences. Service to stuh dents included loans, part time jobs, book exchange, adding machine, type- writers, and books and magazines.

At the end of the season, President Chuck Payne presented the Lilly Interhouse Ski Trophy to Dabney House, which easily won both of the Interhouse meets. The season ended with Ct banquet in honor of Mr. and Mrs. John Lilly, who were visiting in Pasadena Cit the time of the second Interhouse meet. A. S. M. E. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers student branch at Tech is open to junior, senior and graduate mechanicals. Membership offers several outstanding advantages. Students are brought into contact With industry in Southern California and actual working engineering problems through the medium of field trips. The student branch is invited to attend the monthly dinner meetings of the Los Angeles Chapter of the parent society and, thus, come in contact With experienced men in their prospective field, Which pro- vides inspiration at the time and may prove exceedingly useful in the future. Student membership in the society is the easiest and most economical path of entrance to Iunior Membership and a continuation of these privileges following graduation. In addition, each member receives a monthly copy of Mechanical Engineering during the school year, and opportunity is offered for competition for several sizeable money prizes by presentation of technical papers at the annual Southwestern Division Student Conference in the spring. This year's members have been more than usually active. Some sixty men parted With the nominal membership fee in September, and they have shown much interest in the field trips conducted,- these included inspection of the aircraft carrier Lexington, Hancock Oil Co. refinery, Firestone Tire and Rubber Co., and Aluminum Co. of America. Some seventeen men went to the convention in San Francisco Where they attended the technical sessions and inspected the World's Fair. At one of the dinner meetings in Los Angeles, more than thirty Tech men attended Which was a record attendance of stu- dent members at a parent society meeting. Much credit and appreciation goes to Dr. Clark who has been the faculty advisor. The two groups of semi-annual officers for the last year were: Donald Lawrie and William Norton, chairmen; William Lawson, Herb Strong, Charles Carstarphen, Harry 0. Davis, N . H. Anderson, and Robert Spielberger t aiding at the positions of Vice-Chairman, secretary, and treasurer.

E. has completed another year of educational activitieswctivities which acquaint the civil en- gineering student with modern engineering practice, and with the prac- ticing engineer. With the kind cmd able assistance of Mr. Harry Dennis of the Southern California Edison Company as contact member for the group, the students were able to make a number of inspection trips in addition to the frequent meetings held on the campus. The student members also have the oppor- tunity of meeting the distinguished members of the Los Angeles chapter of the society at their monthly meetings to which the students are invited. Each year the Los Angeles chapter members are guests of the junior Chap- ter on the Tech campus for their May meeting. The officers for the student chapter this year were Edwin Sullivan, president; Robert Haussler, vice-president; Roy Beard, secretary; and Willard Snyder, treasurer. First row: Professor Martel, Beard, Kuttler, Beller, Sullivan, Snyder, Huussler, Griswold, Ionqeneel, Iacobs. Second row: Ropp. Ritchey. Bradshaw, Smith, Gewe, Guyton, Vetter, Biddison, Hofmann, Spaulding. In an attempt to supplement the students' engineering education with Ct well rounded technical program of interesting industrial activity, this year's Student Branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engi- neers under the able guidance of its student counselor, Professor F. C. Lindvcdl, managed to present a program of no less than thirty interesting field trips and speakers. Getting off to cm early start the Branch, headed by Chairman David Sherwood, and assisted by Vice-Chairman Walter Diehm, Ctnd Secretary-Treqsurer Carl Schneider, immediately enrolled junior and senior electrical enqineeinq students practically one hundred percent. ' A considerable number of power equipment installations were in spected, which included the Edison Company's steam cmd diesel plants and, of course, Boulder Dam. Among other fields investigated were elec- tric motor manufacturing, railroads, battleships, air conditioning, new transformer design, cable manufacturing, telephone systems, sound reproduction, new elevator design, film processing, geophysics, oil refin- ing, radio studios, and economics in industry. This year Tech played host to U. S. C. at the annual joint U. S. C.-C. I. T, Section Meeting held at the Athenaeum, May 9, 1939. Tech men pre- senting papers were Engelder and Pullen.

CHEMISTRY CLUB The Chem Club at Caltech has been organized as an independent society for a number of years for the benefit of Chemistry majors, especially upper- classmen. Last year it became an organized unit of the Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society, and in this, the first full year of affiliation it has become one of the most active of the ACE. groups in the country. The activities of the Club hdve been varied. It has had c1 considerable group of excellent, well known speakers at its meetings, has taken c1 large number of field trips to various industrial plants in the Los Angeles region climaxed by the annual trip to Tronot,nec1r Death Valley, to see the potash and borax plant there, and held its annual banquet. Besides these normal activities, the Club has sponsored CI journalistically excellent but financially unsuccessful magazine under the editorship of Tomes Watson, made contacts With the personnel departments of several eastern chemical companies and collected a small library of their pamphlets; and sponsored a meeting of undergraduates chemists of all Southern California colleges. Considerable interest has also been shown in the monthly meetings. This large increase in the activities of the Club has been largely due to the leadership of Robert Kyte, president, and Dr. Arnold Beckman, sponsor, seconded by the other officers: Ervine Baumgcxrten, first Vice-president; Philip Smith, second vice-president; Bertram Scarborough, secretary; and Howard Croft, treasurer.

Watson, Freehufer, Thielet ORCHESTRA The Cal Tech Orchestra functioned this year under the directorship of Leon V. Metcalf. Rehearsals were held weekly in the practice room in the old dormitory. Several successful appearances were made by the Orchestra in conjunction With the Glee Club, the most notable per- formance being that given at the Gold Shell Concert. These public con- certs are always well attended and are given CI high rating by the resi- dents of this community. As usual, their regular assembly concert was presented and met With high praise from the attending students. The primary aim was not, however, to prepare for public performance. It was, rather, to give advanced music students an opportunity to profit by and enjoy playing of concert type music. The group, consisting of about thirty men, operated under the leader- ship of Mr. Metcalf, director,- assisted by Volney Rasmussen, president; Bernard Love, assistant director; and John Brockman, manager. First row: Oechsli, Rhyme, Mckepeace, Craft, Mr. Metcalf, Love, Van Camp. Dawson. Second row: Iones, Trindle, Given, Marshall.

Membership was the largest in years. At- tired as usual in orange shirts, the Band did much to set aflame that spirit which is so much a part of college life. As always, appearances were made at all home games in the Rose Bowl, and in addition a bus was chartered tor the trip to the game with Pomona. Other appearances included the rallies in Culbertson Hall, the pajamarino, t the election activities, and the New Year's Tournament of Roses Parade. The season was concluded with a Monday assembly in Culberton, at which a very entertaining program was prestned. 2'11 :- , The Glee Club, under the inspired direction of our new composer-conductor, Mr. Leon Metcodf. has reached ahnew high point of excellence, With some thirty members in regular attendance. First of a num- ber of engagements came a blackfctce minstrel show in the December 5, Monday assembly. Outstanding for the spring term WCIS the appearance Oit Pasadena's Gold Shell.

MUSICALE Growing rapidly in its second year, the Ctal-Tech Musicale has expanded from a small group of students playing classical recorded music for their own enjoy- ment, to one of the most popular entertainment sources on the campus. Drawing music lovers from Pasadena and the surrounding areas, the Musicale presents each Sunday night of the school year, a program of recorded masterpieces, given in the restful atmosphere of Dabney Lounge. At these concerts well known musicians, conductors and critics act as commentators to give brief discus- sions or interesting sidelights on the music played. It was in large measure due to this series of concerts that Cal-Tech was pre- sented by the Carnegie Corporation of New York, a collection of one thousand fine recordings, a library of scores of books on every musical subject, and costly reproduction equipment, the gift being valued at about three thousand dollars. This equipment is now used by the Cal-Tech Musicale, and has proven to be a great improvement over the student owned machines relied upon before its arrival. It has provided a wide variety of music, suitable for all occasions. Alex Brewer has succeeded Keats Pullen as president of the Musicale, Fred Billmeyer and Rolfe La Forge are business and program managers, respectively, and Clyde Wahrhaftig heads the record committee. The Executive Committee is open to all students; and the faculty advisers are Professor Thomas, Dr. Maxstadt, and Mr. Metcalf. RquOns! A TRIBUTE TO WW! In Pasadena there is at the present time, perhaps the most outstanding technical college in the country, The California Insti- tute of Technology. Founded in 1891, the Institute throughout all these years has been training young men in engineering and science, using the modern scientific method that has done so much for the human race. These same young men have spread the name of Caltech throughout the world, until it has become renown for the scientific achievements accomplished. These men have been trained to carry on the high ideals and the spirit of such men as Newton, Galileo, and other great scientists. The people of Pasadena graciously eX- tend a word of praise to Caltech and the ideals that it stands for; and are proud to acknowledge that such an institution exists in Pasadena. .
