MYLF.R. Jr., Editor-in-Chief FOREWORD WHEN that time which is now the distant and unknown future shall have glided into a dim and faded past, and your memory, dear reader, turns and tries to recall those incidents which occurred in the happiest period of your years, your college days, we hope that this volume will, in some measure, help to re-create in your imagination the days when you were at Dear OldTech. It has been with this aim in view, that we have worked with untiring zeal to make this history of our year at Carnegie Tech as complete as possible, despite the innumerable difficulties, peculiar to the present times, which have bestrewn our course. The extent, then, to which this volume aids you in recalling old and pleasant memories shall be the measure of our success. THE EDITORS CONTENTS Frontispiece Machinery Hall Photograph by Wm. M.

The hour of trial is here; the time of sacrifice is now. We are beginning to realize what President Wilson meant when he said, “We must dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we are, and everything that we have.” Selfish ease, thoughtless living, frivolity of soul, have passed. We have been born again. CARN EG I E TECH was among the first to catch the great spirit of self-sacrifice that has swept the land like a winnowing flame. Nearly a thousand of our brightest and brainiest men, men with the flower of promise already in the blossom, when the call went forth leaped to place without hesitation or regret, whether that place was in the councils of the Nation, or at the head of a column, with the ships of the line, or shoulder to shoulderwith the horny-handed son of toil. AN D so,we take a solemn pride in dedicating this, the eleventh consecutive issue of THE THISTLE, to the Alumni and Students of the Carnegie Institute of Technology who are now with the colors upholding the honor of their country, and adding to the luster of their Alma Mater. O U R hearts go out to you wherever you are—in camp, on shipboard, in trench or hospital, on the firing-line, or in government office. Only love do we send and a desire to benefit and to bless. We glory in your American manhood, and we wish you well. JOHN T. HOYLE 'I t The 1918 Thistle HONOR ROLL FACULTY MEMBERS B run dace, Char.

Supervisor of Equipment George F. Sheers Auditor of Carnegie Institute [ I THE 1918 T H ISTLE Andrew Carnegie Another year has passed and again the readers of The Thistle are destined to be deprived of a word of personal greeting from Our Founder. A recent letter from his private secretary informs us that Mr. Carnegie’s physician still thinks that it is inadvisable for any matters of business to be brought to his attention, even of such a nature as a word of greeting to the Student Body. The Editors regret very much that it is impossible to have a personal message from Mr. Carnegie, but feel sure that if he were in good health, he would send a warm and cheery greeting to the students, for it could not help but be a pleasure to him to see the institution, of which he was the Founder, so nobly responding to the needs of Our Country. [13] The 1918 Thistle To The Thistle Important changes are occurring on the campus of the Carnegie Institute of Technology. The martial tread of troops, the khaki-garbed students, are but the outward signs which show that the institution is concentrating its effort to help the Nation in its war program. A year has elapsed since the United States entered the war. It has taken all this time to bring us to a realization of the great task which confronts us if militarism is to be subdued and Germany compelled to recognize that ruthless might can never be a permanent substitute for justice and right. The Carnegie Institute of Technology freely accepts its obligation and this duty, and offers its faculty, its resources, its every facility to this cause The Honor Roll contains hundreds of graduates and undergraduates who are now in the forces of the United States; and these will be supplemented by nearly a thousand soldiers of the Nation who are here for special instruction. Add to this the remaining undergraduates who have enrolled themselves in the R. 0. T. C. which has recently been established, and we can honestly, and with pride, state that the Alma Mater offers one hundred percent of its resources to maintain the ideals of the Nation. Whatever quota is exacted, in whichever field of service we are rendering aid, we are permanently establishing the tradition that, Carnegie gives, without stint, its bravest, its best, unreservedly to the Nation; that our hearts are attuned to this spirit of love of country for the betterment of mankind. You who read these lines can look forward with confidence to the day when all will unite in saying, “Well done, Carnegie!” Sincerelv your inend, ¥ ¥ 7 Arthur Arton Hamerschlag [iSl The 1918 Thistle War-Time Tech NO year in the history of the Carnegie Institute of Technology has so stirred its life as the one that has passed since the last “Thistle” was published. The war has wrought changes of the most far-reaching character. Let us set down some of them, that this page may be of reference in-terest in the years to come. Hundreds of graduates and undergraduates have joined the colors. The Honor Roll, at the present moment, carries the names of 726 Tech men known to be in the service, with many more unrecorded. The War Department has designated us a Reserve Officers Training Corps, and some 800 students in khaki are now drilling daily on the campus under regular army officers. For several months, our shops a n d laboratories have been filled with soldiers sent here by the government to take special technical training for such army occupations as airplane maintenance, radio communication, and gas-engine operation. At this writing, 400 enlisted men and officers arc here, with 800 more contracted for and due within the next few weeks. In addition. 300 conscripted men of the Pittsburgh district, awaiting the call to camp, arc taking evening courses. It is expected that not less than 2.oco soldiers will be detailed here this summer, for all of whom Tech will provide instruction, quarters, and rations. A large building, 100x220 feet, is under construction on the campus to house airplanes, and three other buildings will be started at once to take care of the over- load on our physical plant caused by the war. Flagstaff Hill in Schcnley Park is shortly to be used for trench work, and Camp Louise C arnegie will be utilized this summer for food production by the students of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School. A Red Cross Unit, with the girls in uniform, is another feature. Many faculty members arc ofT on war leave of absence, or are engaged in activities at the Institute related to war. President Ilainerschlag himself is now in Washington, as head of a bureau of industrial research with General Goethals. And the end is not yet. We shall go forward in this splendid but serious piece of business to its inevitable conclusion. History is in the making. The Carnegie Institute of Technology will pledge the utmost of its facilities and resources to the great cause. 'Phose of us who have known her from the beginning count ourselves fortunate to serve her in times like these, and not the least source of our pride is the spectacle of young American red blood at its best. We have seen not a few college generations come and go, but none like this before, and perhaps not another one like it again, if this war achieves the high purpose for which it is being fought. Arthur W. Tarbeli. March 11, 1918 [16] The 1918 This t l e To Tech Men and Women TUP, school year 1917-18 will always hold a unique place in the history of the Carnegie Institute of Technology as it does, of course, in the history of our country. It would be a thing to regret if this were not the fact, for it could only mean that there is not the close bond between the interests of the country and of Tech that must exist if education is to be truly democratic. This country, peace loving and war hating, has fought two great wars and is just entering upon the third, destined to prove the last and greatest of all wars, we hope. The first war was fought for responsible liberty, the second for union, and the third is being waged for democracy, our democracy, all democracy. These three principles represent the ideals of America, are America. To be a true American we must believe heart and soul in these ideals, we must work heart and soul for these ideals, we must be willing and glad to sacrifice for these ideals. Americanism is a thing of the spirit, not of ancestry or geography. Measured by this test, other lands still hold many good Americans. Measured by this same test, the titles of many who arc Americans by virtue of mere geography and ancestry are not clear. America is really a land of ideals, but we have sometimes been unmindful of our democratic heritage and our democratic destiny. We have had big things to do— in these short years a continent has had to be tamed—and the doing of these big things has necessarily absorbed a large share of our attention. The solution of these material problems has made us, on the surface at least, materialistic. But at times we sec clearly and this is one of the times. Just as truly as this terrible scourge of war has refined the spirit of France—just as truly as it has put new life into the courageous heart of England—just as truly will it, I believe, purge our nation of materialism and bring it back to our ideals of liberty, union and true democracy. In this crisis it is right that an institution like Tech, so truly democratic in purpose and in fulfillment, should do its part. Education which is worth anything means idealism—and this is a war for the ideals for which our nation stands. For what Tech men already are doing and for the bigger things they arc to do, I congratulate you. John H. Leete. [«7l The 1918 Thistle A Word from Uncle John My very dear friends of Carnegie Tech, President, Faculty, Students, All:— 'Fen years ago you so kindly dedicated The Thistle to “Uncle John” and asked him to write a word of cheer for the journal. Then I was sailing toward my sixty-eighth milestone of a busy life. Now 1 must add another decade, and still 1 am at it, still interested in our beloved Tech; and looking back over her history, a brief one in comparison with other schools of learning in this good country of ours, I am sure you will forgive me if 1 say 1 am proud of my association in the grand work that has been accomplished, proud of the record she has made, proud of my association with her founder, with her Hoard of Trustees, her President, Faculty, Students, the substantial staff, the Superintendents, the Mechanicians, yes and the janitors too, not forgetting the good lady who looks after the inner man; I am proud of her splendid buildings, and now that we are in it to win the war for liberty, fraternity and equality, I am proud of Tech’s loyalty to our beloved land. When I sent my greetings to The 'Thistle in 1918, I asked you in your relations with one another to remember the beautiful words of Robert Louis Stevenson. “I expect to pass through this world but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness I can show or any good thing 1 can do any fellow being, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for 1 will not pass this way again.” My dear, good friends of Tech, would there be any war between individuals or nations, if such were I he world’s precepts? And now I must add another quotation which I love so well, and your old friend begs you to remember what the religion ol humanity counts for in this big round world:— “ I is the human touch in this world that counts, The touch of your hand and mine, That means far more to the fainting heart Than shelter or bread or wine. For shelter is gone when the night is o’er, And bread lasts only a day. But the touch of the hand and the sound of the voice Live on in the soul alway. Aye, and as for you. students, when you go out into the world’s great workshop and take with you the knowledge gained in your studies at Tech; don’t forget, one of the greatest of the sciences is to extract sunlight from the cloud land and send it broadcast to brighten the pathways of your fellow travelers, for “he that bringeth sunshine into the lives of others can not keep it from himself,” and you will find “'There is something in all hearts that can be reached, some chord that will give forth sweet music, if you only have the skill to touch it.” Faithfully yours, Uncle John Bras hear [!9] «• g SENIORS T H E 1918 Thistle David W.

Many of the boys who would have received degrees from Carnegie Tech have gone into the service of the government—there to receive a degree of far greater significance than that which this or any other college can possibly confer. They have realized that to listen to the appeal of humanity on the battlefield is far greater than to listen to a Baccalaureate Service in a music hall. But even if they have left without their diploma, it matters not to us. The 1918 Thistle is dedicated to them, and we’re proud of it. [57] The 1918 Thistle To The 1918 Thistle THE Tech seems to move on this year in time with the rhythm of marching feet and the click of knitting needles, so that all our thoughts are tinged with war. Whatever our daily class work, whether it be the Crusades, or a day’s menu, or touch typewriting, or the laws of gases, everything alludes to the great conflict, and we hear an echo of the tramp of men in France, and the boom of guns- we see the starving children and the broken human wrecks, and we try to fit ourselves to do a bigger bit for the great cause. To be young in such a time is a priceless opportunity. The classes of 1918 and 1919 will have a large share of the responsibility of rebuilding the world.

M. C. S. were extremely pleasant ones. Aside from having to wear green arm-bands for two or three days, and having to feel that each of us was the only friendless girl in the whole school, we were given plenty of opportunity to watch long lines of queerly dressed men who seemed to delight in marching about the campus. During the first few weeks faculty and upper classmen entertained us with so many parties that we almost wondered why this place was called a school. However, we were not kept in ignorance of that fact for very long, and by the end of the first semester there were so many empty lockers that few of us had to remain “doubled up.” We started our Sophomore year by giving a “tacky” wiener party for the Plebes. This was followed by a pic- nic, at which the majority of the guests became lost and strolled in so late that they were very lightly fed. Our many little dances, week-end camping trips to Camp Louise Carnegie, and our famous and mysterious party from which we returned at noon on Sunday, might give the impression that we have been a most frivolous and unimportant class. But we have spent more than one day going to classes and working in the labs and more than one night carefully deciding which course we should choose. All of our good times simply gave us zest for doing the excellent work which the records show that we have accomplished. In a few weeks, when all of us receive our Government appointments, we shall prove, by our services to the Government, our loyalty to Margaret Morrison, and, Carnegie Tech our worthiness to be graduates of this school.

Junior Class History FROM the heights of Juniorism, as we look back on our years of striving for just this time, it seems unbelievable that we have attained the dignity of upperclassmen and can at last taste the sweet of being feared to drown the bitter taste left by two years of underclassmen humility. In 1915, we entered, about 125 joyous Freshmen—or Plebes as we were called then. Well could we be joyous, for we know not what we did; fortunately for us! Like a fleet of tiny shallops breasting the angry Plebedom. Chemistry, Physics, Sophomore taunts, all to be over-topped with the wind of unfamiliarity whistling about our ears. Is it any wonder that many of us were lost at sea before we reached the harbor of Sophomorism? In the Fall of 1916, once more we set out and once more at the end of the year the fortunate ones breathed a sigh of relief as they looked back on successful struggles with those bug-bears, Biology, and Physiology, not to mention Dietetics. Now that we are safely launched on our Junior year and upon our chosen courses, as we look back we see that with all the hardship there was much pleasure and many good times as our collection of dance programs will testify. We remember pleasant parties in the “Rec” Hall, gay week-end parties at Camp Louise Carnegie, and will we ever forget the consoling friendships formed in our first years of storm and stress? On the portentous eve of our first big social event—the Junior “Prom” —we congratulate ourselves upon these memories sweet and bitter and feel that we are now justified in taking a short respite and enjoying ourselves with no thought but that of present enjoyment and hope for the future.

Sophomore Class History WE came, we saw,—we conquered. Not yet have we won our laurels, but we are steadily holding our own; and now that our dire foes of Chemistry, Pattern Modeling and Business Methods have been successfully met, we have hopes of gaining a glorious end. We entered,—113 strong, good-looking, well-behaved Plebes. We were supposed to be hazed; we were —slightly, just for the sake of school etiquette. Truly, we were wonderfully treated; the first semester was a continuous procession of parties and dances given to us by the Upper Classes. We decided to give a dance of our own, and we did—two of them. W hen Plebe Regulations were brought before the Student Government Association in May, we, constituting the greater percentage of the school, helped them through. We obeyed Plebe Regulations for one week, and at the end of the time were hazed properly on Qualification Day. After the mid-year exams,—and a few of our members, as a result, passed out of our Plebe class’s existence,—we all succumbed to the epidemic of Spring Fever which swept through our class. Owing to the effects of this disease, some of us did not survive our final exams. We came back this fall of 1917, a really, truly bunch of Sophs, thinking we were somebody, even if the Juniors scornfully did remark, “Only some Sophs.” But it is much better not to sit in the front rows at Assembly or wait for lunch until I2:5o, even if only Sophs. And those same Juniors reproached us with not being able to enforce Plebe Regulations. We were very busy, but we took the time to properly haze the Plebes and strictly enforced the regulations for their own good. For this disciplining of the Plebes, we were accused of being tyrants—a sophomore class tyrannical ? Nay, friends, we leave tyranny to the dignified Seniors and the haughty Juniors. We did several things this year; chief among them, we developed a remarkably good class spirit. We gave a dance to the Seniors to show them our unappreciated devotion, and one to the Plebes to demonstrate our care and guardianship. We entertained Miss Sibley, our class chaperon, at a luncheon. We won the class pennant from the Plebes in hockey. We have met with some difficulties, such as collecting class dues, and dance assessments, as well as Analytical Chemistry and Plebes, but our glorious successes will herald the Juniors of next year to greater and bigger things.

At noon we were met by kind sophomores (pronounced “Sofmor”) who sold us beautiful yellow and plaid arm-bands (price fifteen cents). Many a fair Plebe with lofty ideals of the dignity of college women was astonished by the bulle-tin, signed by the “Sofmors,” which said that she must wear her hair in pig-tails on the morrow, and never on any occasion wear any hosier)' other than that of black cotton; if she did, dire penalties would be inflicted by them.

On the following day we marched to school with our hair in pig-tails, sang when we were told to, and danced when we had to, and did many other things which we were solemnly told were necessarv in order that we be-¥ come good sports. We still wear our arm-bands and black cotton stockings, looking toward Qualification Day in May. However, some of our dignity was restored, when on the same day we were delightfully entertained by the Faculty. And, on the two successive Fridays, when we were entertained by the Juniors and Seniors, we began to think that maybe we did amount to something. In the midst of this social activity, all of us were working hard at our studies. The first rating period brought its joys and sorrows. Nevertheless, all entered into their studies with renewed determination. In October, we entertained the Juniors at a dance—our first social attempt. Soon after, in November, we elected class officers who have shown themselves efficient and capable in every way. After Christmas vacation, which was most welcome and supplied us with an excess of vigor and energy, we entered into about three weeks of a reign of terror, studying for “exams.” The “exam” came and passed, and the after effects were pleasantly relieved by a two-day vacation and a dance, at which the Sophomores entertained us. We are now nearing the end of our Plebe year, with a clearer understanding of our work, and are slowly but surely becoming imbued with the Margaret Morrison ideal of woman’s work, the highest conception possible.

Our entry into the great war has resulted, not only in a quickening of the Tech spirit, one of devotion to the ideals of democracy, but also a demonstration of the oneness o f purpose throughout the Institute, among students and faculty alike. We honor those who have gone forth to active service, but we do not forget that there is often quite as much of the spirit of sacrifice among those who remain behind, devoting themselves, for a longer or shorter period, to preparation for the soldier’s life or for the equally important duties which industry and education impose upon them. Our student body has, during the past year, exhibited, in a most commendable way, a willingness to subordinate its own wishes to the best interests of the Institute and of the country. No one can witness our boys in khaki, daily learning the work of the soldier and cultivating the spirit of obedience and discipline, without being convinced that when again the days of peace return, the spirit of Carnegie Tech will have been quickened and refined, and the Institute will unquestionably maintain that place in the foremost ranks of educational institutions for which she is destined. During the past year I have on many occasions deeply appreciated this fine attitude of self-sacrifice and co-operation on the part of the students of the Science School who, I am confident, are typical of our entire student body, men and women alike. My best wishes go with The Thistle —symbol of a sturdy race—may it flourish at your hands as never before! Sincerely yours, Wm. E. Mott. [75] The 1918 Thistle T. R. Alexander K. K. Stevens G. C.

He was big, this lout, he was clumsy, self-conscious, and ungraceful. Withal, he was stubborn, and determinedly unafraid. He was going to become an engineer. Very soon things began to happen to him; a gang of unprincipled ruffians (Sophomores they were called) seized him, and compelled him to roll up his trousers, and to box and wrestle; they made him propose to girls whom he didn’t love in the least, and, on the whole, abused him dreadfully. Finally, they stuck a provoking adornment on his head, hung a crepe around his neck, and led him to the Profs for execution. That first year altered him considerably. Some of the angles began to wear off, through constant friction with Mechanics and Mathematics. And on Field-Day the Sophs led him out again and hurt his feelings. Yet he stuck grimly, and before long his persistence won him a little respite and happiness. On qualification day he experienced the supreme joy of being admitted into full membership of the Institution. Then he became a Sophomore and learned a few more things. He learned that it was a good thing to look intelligent, and he cultivated that appearance. The new Plebes he visited with brutal humiliation on Field Day. His increased confidence demonstrated itself at the Science Stag, out of which he emerged a triumphant victor. 'The country Reuben was becoming cityfied and to celebrate his emergence into the light, he blew himself to a banquet at a real hotel, where they had bellboys, and had Rugs on the floors. Of course the thing that it was all leading to was the Junior Prom. That night, with the most nonchalant ease, born of his new sophistication, he appeared in the full dignity of a dress suit. Gone was raw manner and gawkiness of younger days; in its place appeared the refinement of a veteran of the drawing-room. As a senior his assurance was more complete. He took the reins of government into his hands. And now watch him, as, with an erect military attitude and a salute, he continues his advance, the finished product of old Tech,—and his axiom is “Forward — March!” M. M. Lanice OFFTCF.RS V. V.

And we found them. After running a long gauntlet of salesmen, Sophomores, and cashier, we emerged—real Plebes to be sure, but a sobered and financially distressed group. And then came our defeat at the hands of the Sophomores on Field Day. We regained much of our enthusiasm during the year which followed, but that first rude awakening was sufficient to check a too extensive display of our self-esteem. The most important event of our first year was the Plebe Banquet. Ninety-seven percent of the Class was in attendance and the .enthusiastic spirit of that meeting has never departed from us. Finally, after a long year of anxious waiting, on Qualification Day we solemnly performed last rites for our Plebe regalia and watched the evidences of our apprenticeship ascend in smoke. On this same occasion our link was forged onto the Carnegie Chain of Classes and since that time we have borne our share of the burdens and have maintained the strength of that link . As have Sophomores of all generations, we rigidly enforced Plebe regulations during the following year and we hope that memories of our trials and tribulations of the preceding year did not lead us to undue harshness. Our Sophomore Class Banquet, while not quite as fully attended as the Plebe affair, was an unqualified success. Toward the close of our second year the significance of our part in the World War began to make itself felt. Many of our Classmates went into the Service at once and when we reassembled for our Junior year our ranks were greatly depleted. The Prom will be the one big thing remembered in connection with our Junior year. Empty pockets, and other after-effects, were more than atoned for by that eventful occasion and we all pronounce it the “ best ever.” In spite of the unsettled conditions prevalent during this year, ve have worked to better prepare ourselves for service to our Country and we trust that we have been successful. For our Senior year we can not prophesy; but whatever happens, the Class of 1919 stands prepared to do her best for her Alma Mater and for her Country. C. E. B. FIRST SEMESTER J. D.

T. campus, there to be given a cordial and never-to-be-forgotten reception by the Sophomores. And so began our illustrious career. But we soon found the real Tech spirit at the annual contest between the Sophs and Plebes, at which the brain and brawn of the sturdy Sophs were pitted against those of the plucky Freshmen. Although we did not emerge victorious, we gave an excellent account of ourselves, and thereafter the Sophomores showed due respect to our athletic powers. Events moved rapidly until the well-remembered night of December when, baffling all sophomoric attempts at prevention, a successful banquet was held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, when wit and wisdom from the lips of our members, and our friends the profs, lent enthusiasm to the journey toward knowledge. But to our president “Woho” Collins we give all honor, for it was he who, after being given a long journey into the country, returned aboard a train, escaped, climbed into the engine of the train, and finally after an exciting chase sophomore c through the city reached the banquet in time to enliven the ceremonies and tell of his thrilling experiences with the outwitted Sophs. As Sophomores, in the fall of 1917, we entertained the newly arrived Plebes, duly instructing them in the traditions of the school. Colored hosiery and neckwear disappeared as if by magic. Eloquent orations, the rendering of impressive and pathetic vocal selections followed in due time. In the annual Sop homo re-Plebe rush, the Plebes were soon overpowered. As in the preceding year a banquet was the social crown of the class. As the children of 1916 had no hint of what was happening, the serenity of the occasion was unmarred, the banquet being conceded to be a great success. Owing to the fact that some of the Plebes showed lack of interest and in observing the prescribed rules as to headgear, ties, and sox, we reaped a beautiful harvest of curly locks of hair at one of the most auspicious hair-cutting parties in the annals of ASS OFFICERS J F.

Stone Treasurer [85] The 1918 Thistle Science Plebe Class History ON September 18, 1916, three I hundred and twenty-five innocent youths registered as Science Plebes. In this class were men from Java, Australia, and China, as well as from almost every state in the Union. On the first registration day, the Sophomores were ready to welcome the new addition to the family with open arms. While one bunch joyously paraded through East Liberty with coats inside out and trousers rolled above their knees, others were engaged in pulling a coach load of Sophs or “swimming” on the campus. On the evening of the second day, the Plebes gathered secretly at the band stand in Schenley Park to discuss plans for the morrow. It was decided to raise a “21” pennant on the flagstaff in front of the Design School. The third day was spent in carrying wood for the bonfire and in carrying on the supremacy contests with the Sophomores. The Sophomores were victorious, chieflv because of their better organization. The Indian Pageant was held that night. The representatives of the Plebes and Sophomores smoked the pipe of peace, the bonfire was lighted, and all joined in the singing and cheering. In order to get the fellows better acquainted and to have them meet their Faculty and the Seniors, the Plebe Smoker was held in Carnegie Union on November 2, 1917. Short speeches were given by President Hamerschlag, Doctor Esquerre, Professor Follows, Doctor Harris, and President Wolfe of the Senior Class. Some snappy and amusing entertainment preceded the refreshments. Every one had a good time. Christmas vacation was fast approaching, so the Plebes decided to hold their banquet—that glorious festivity of the year—before going home. 'Phe plans for the banquet and the time and place were not announced until the day before the affair. President Copley had changed his place of residence several days before the banquet and was therefore unable to accept the kind invitation of the Sophomores to sojourn with them until the festivities were over. 'Pile banquet was held at the “Pines.” Dr. Harris, with his usual foresight, went out during the afternoon in order to “avoid the rush.” When all the happy gang were filled with chicken and waffles, and after President Copley had arrived, addresses were made by Professor Follows and Doctor Harris. In all, there were two hundred and thirty Plebes at the banquet, most of whom came home in one car. Some of the class did not appear after the Christmas vacation, and still more dropped out after the first semester. Thus far the Class of 1921 has established an enviable reputation for itself, both in scholarship and in the activities of the school, and intends to continue in the work.

WHISTLEK. The 1918 Thistle To the Members of the Class of 1919 THE Administration and Faculty of the School of Applied Design sends you heartiest greetings. To those who have already left us for national service our thoughts are constantly going out in admiration and gratitude. Those who are about to go will take with them best wishes from those with whom they have worked in the School, teachers a n d students alike. Those of the Class who remain with us for various reasons, will have the heavy burden ol carrying on the traditions of the School and upholding its standards by the work that they do. One thing is becoming more and more certain: many of us will have to give time, thought and energy to work we never expected to be called upon to do. The kind of service we are to render we can not always choose. In this heroic period we must do whatever happens to be required of us and do it willingly and well. The day this hideous struggle is over and we return to normal conditions let us hope that the members of the Class of 1919 who have been unable to complete their work will return to Tech. Their years of experience and trials will result in a more mature and a richer appreciation of the opportunities offered here; and a greater Tech will rise from the fine foundation already laid. We must not forget that, to the general public at least, an art school in time of War does not seem as useful an institution as an engineering or industrial school. Art will have to justify itself in the next few years. We must prove that this School is worth-while by the quality of the work that is produced. We must prove that it is a benefit to the community, not only by the usefulness of its men and women students, but worth while by the quality put in the work. For that, after all, is the great mission of the artist. I hope that those who leave will not fail to let us know at least some of their experiences, and that 'Tech will always be a bond between us. We are now living through one of the greatest periods of history. Many of the things that may seem insignificant will in the future become honored traditions and memories in the history of our land. Tech must collect its own traditions. Let us begin at once before it is too late. We must not only have a list of those who enter national service, but also know something of what they have done. The Honor Roll, now in one of the niches of our vestibule, must be kept complete and made a permanent part of our building, its most sacred memorial. Sincerely yours, E. R. Bossange, Dean.

As our first year rolled along some dropped out of the class, owing to sickness, death or a longing for adventures in other fields. The Sophs following “traditions” imposed certain rules upon us which we obeyed when justifiable and disobeyed when too overbearing. This served to bind the class together better than any other action. The second year of our college life found most of us back to further pursue our courses. We made our pres- ence known by our good work upon the Beaux-Arts problems in design. During our third year our ranks were thinned out by the world war and many of our class were enrolled on the “roll of honor” of the school. We managed however to be together until the “greatest prom yet” was held. This our last year has been a lonely one for those of us who have returned in spite of the conditions throughout the land; but we have tried to make it our best, for who would want to leave their Alma Mater without giving her their best efforts to the end?

Komoda F. maline Walker G. E. Trent T h e 1918 Thistle Design Junior Class History WE ARE now completing our third year at Carnegie Tech, and we look back over our record, not with disappointment and regret, but knowing that we have advanced the standard that has been set by the previous classes. Our class has furnished valuable material for the various activities of the school and has given much to the support of our Alma Mater, but these will not be enumerated here. We entered Tech in the Fall of 1915, fresh and ignorant—typical Plebes. During these first few days the importance and maintenance of school traditions were enforced upon us in a very forceful manner. But the struggles of our first year did more to link us together as a united class than the pleasures they gave to the Sophomores, and those struggles will long be remembered by us. In the Fall of 1916 we returned with a more determined spirit, for now we had acquired, through experiences of our first year, the real meaning of true Carnegie men, and with that purpose in mind we entered into the work of the year. Then war was declared. Our boys, true to the country, were willing to sacrifice their education for their love of country, and June, 1917, found only about fifty percent of our class remaining. We have entered the third year of our work with only a handful of what was once the class of 1919. But what we lack in numbers we make up in spirit. And as this year draws to a close, we go more determined than ever, with a prayer for those who have left us and a vow that Carnegie Tech will never be brought to shame by those who remain in the Class of 1919- [95J The 1918 Thistle Design Sophomore History WHEN we entered 'lech in the fall of 1916, we were the largest class which had ever entered the School of Applied Design. We must have been that color usually assigned to freshmen, green, for we received a warm welcome from the Sophomores. After passing more or less safely through the registration day initiations into the customs and traditions of Carnegie Tech, we started in with vigor to become a part of the school. A glance over the activities of the school will show just to what extent we have thus far suc- ceeded in our undertaking. If one were to have seen our class when we entered and then to have slept, so as to remain entirely ignorant of the affairs of the world, and now to have awakened and again to have seen our class, he might well ask', “What has become of your large class?” The answer would be simple. “Many of our members have heard and answered the call of their Country’.” We have diminished in num-bers and will probably continue to do so, but we shall still strive to uphold the standards of our Alma Mater. [97J The 1918 Thistle Design Plebe Class History THE class of 1921 entered Tech with one hundred and twenty-six members. The conventional iron hand of the Soph police force descended in vain upon the so-called weaklings. After several weeks of this, the Sophomores, finding it too strenuous, tried to hand self-government over to the Plebes. But, much to their chagrin, the Plebes declined. Several weeks elapsed before we elected our class officers. 'The Dean’s Reception was the first event to reveal the ability of the Plebes. Rapid sketchers, actors of various kinds, the well-known Prince of Bulgaria, and musicians furnished a most interesting program; and afterwards there was dancing. March 18th the Plebes, always charming and thoughtful, gave a dance to “the boys and the girls” of Design, in the corridors of the Design Building. Good dance music and a comedy, presented in the theater, were the main attractions. S. S. H. OFFICERS E. A. Kelley - -- -- -- -- President I,. J.

Wonderful changes have already taken place and it is inspiring to note the patriotic response with which the new demands, coming with almost lightning rapidity, have been met by the students, the alumni, and the Faculty. No sooner was war dc-dared than students eagerly enlisted. The first great wave of patriotism took a choice lot of our young men with it. Their leaving began a new era in the life of the institution. It was not an easy matter to see them set aside their studies, some with but two months to complete their work, others in the very midst of their courses, and many still retaining the first flush of their student days. Those who remained in school, no less patriotic than their fellows, went in for military training as an extra load to an already heavy schedule. Surely the closing months of the last school year were stirring times which will not soon be forgotten. 1917 found several members of the Faculty enlisted in the service of the government and the roster of students of the School of Applied Industries depleted considerably. We had hardly settled down to making the best of conditions when a new war-time element was introduced; namely, that of training m c n specifically for w a r service. It began with a night course for men subject to draft, a n d now includes the training of enlisted men sent by the government. Today, March nth, 1918, is the official birthday of the R. 0. T. C. of the Carnegie Institute of Technology as announced by President Ilamerschlag at our first military assembly. To all the men in the service—Students, Alumni, Faculty—be assured of this: “We Think of You We Work for You We Believe in You We Look for You.” Yours very truly, Clifford B. Connelley, Dean.

But now, the parting class, wrecked by unforseen difficulties, torn by the hand of misfortune; and most sadly of all, slashed by the cruel sword of war, numbers about one-tenth its original number. During our short stay of three years we have been witnesses to many events at Tech. Upon our arrival the sophomore class presented us with beautiful green ties and nice plebe hats as souvenirs. We remained “greenies,” however, for only a short time. We became so familiar that we decided to overpower the sophomore class, which was done with ease without referring to Queensberry Rules. We dispensed with wearing the plebe paraphernalia on Qualification Day and from then until September, 1917, we were Sophomores. During this time we enjoyed a happy and industrious reign, finding time, however, between classes to arrange for a social affair that would produce a good time for all concerned. We did not content ourselves, however, to limit our activities to study and play, but we gave some of our thoughts and time to our future Alma Mater. We were instrumental in bringing about the abolishment of smoking in the Industries School. We took time off to help decorate the campus with a Hag pole, and, during the latter part of the term, gave part of our mornings in preparing ourselves for Uncle Sam in case he should have occasion to call upon us to help him on foreign soil. Thus work, blended skilfully with pleasure, caused the year to move rapidly and we soon found ourselves on the final drive for the goal, ever in mind. As Seniors, as the end draws near, we can not but regret the closing of our career as “Techites” and the parting from our fatherly Dean and faculty. To our Bounder we would say we have done our best. To prove this we point to the number of men who have succeeded in obtaining membership in the Alpha Tau Fraternity, the highest honor the Industries School is capable of conferring upon its students. We are convinced that he will accept this as our token of appreciation and note of thanks. As we part, to go on our individual journey, we can not help but feel a twinge of regret that it must be. The best of friends must sometime part, but the spirit of Dear Old Tech, which has entwined itself around our very soul, will always remain as an exhilarating nectar improving with age; it will ever be a beacon light to guide and inspire us to higher and nobler aspirations of life.

The 1918 Thistle Middle Class History School of Applied Industries AT the beginning of its career the class of 1919 contained 19-S students who endeavored to tread the paths of learning. Some have fallen out of rank, but many inspired by the duty to their country have enlisted. Notwithstanding our short career at Tech we have been loyal Techites. We have supported all athletics and activities, and we have been represented on every team since our entry. We have been more than loyal Techites. We have been loyal Americans. We contributed heavily to the Liberty Loan Memorial, and still more heavily to the Students Y. M. C. A. Friendship War Fund. We have the honor of having the first Tech man to enlist after war was declared. Our class can boast of the largest number of men in the service in proportion to its enrollment. We pay the greatest tribute to our class- mate Walter Crellin, the first Tech man to be killed in the war. Our social activities were initiated in our Plebe year by a dance to the Upper Classmen. It was followed by a banquet which we will all remember. As Sophomores our social functions have been numerous, but, nevertheless, economical. Although we progressed only a short distance in our path, we realize the wonderful opportunities that are ours at 'Lech, and we also realize our indebtedness to those who are helping to prepare us for success. And as we climb further up the path of learning, may each one of us make a special effort to contribute something to the things which make life worth living. OFFICERS H.

Whiteiiill THE good ship “Plebe” started out with one hundred and thirty-seven on board in a rough sea, which became rougher as the voyage progressed. After steering through a rough course and receiving several jabs from a torturous band of Middle Classmen, we were under way on what seemed a happy voyage. Soon our crew began to fall overboard on account of light hearts and the call of our country. At this time it was found necessary to collect fares and a dance was given in honor of our superior officers, the Middle and Upper Classmen. This took place on the third deck of the Union and was enjoyed by all. ICERS R. P. Stierheim - - - Vice-President P. D.

Here we were helped in our cause by offering transportation to some fellow classmen from the Plebe ship of Science, lost when the deck of that good ship was swept by waves of learning. During this time our number was decreased until only half of the crew remained. Many had answered the call of their countrv and ¥ others had shipped on easier voyages, until only sixty-seven were left to bring the good ship into a safe harbor and withstand the test of the unseen hand in examinations.

Even 1. A with live years of Tech behind us, we would not doubt the wisdom of the venerable “Hard of Avon,” but the idea of the necessity of ambition and stern demeanor going hand in hand is entirely against the principles of our class. Consequently we have been trying to instill in the minds of the men following us the desirability of setting the two as far apart as the limitations of this world will permit, by introducing as much of light-hearted social antidote as possible into our school life. Of course, we admit that we have paraphrased the quotation literally—which William never did expect us to do—but in so doing we have obtained an introduction to this class history, quid erat faciendum. At the outset, we will frankly say that we have done nothing to boast of, but during our stay at Tech we have seen many improvements, the most pronounced, perhaps, being the attitude of the average night student towards his obligations in regard to the activities of the School. We sincerely hope that even if we have not pushed forward as much as some classes have done, we have, at least, maintained the standard set. This subject of class spirit is, without a doubt, one of vital importance to the success of the Night School, and the man who supports his class and school functions, and he only, is dealing fairly with the School from which he is deriving so much benefit. To the Social Calendar, chiefly through the efforts of the Klanicht, have been added several features which, we hope, will become annual. 'Fhe dance held for the joint Night Schools last year met with such success and did so much toward unifying the Night School Body that it may be set down as the one new event that must not be allowed to drop into oblivion. Another feature deserving special mention was the Night Science Social given at the Hotel Schenley and which was managed so admirably by the Second Year Class. These should be continued, and others added, as opportunity offers and ideas suggest. As a class our numbers have dwindled as each milestone has been passed (this dwindling process having been accelerated somewhat last year by the Army Draft), until, as we reach our last milestone, only a select eight remain, five of whom represent our original First Year Class of one hundred thirty. We also have the honor of being the first Night Class to graduate students from the Department of Chemical Engineering. During our moments of retrospection, our minds will be drawn irresistibly to the period spent under the roof of our Alma Mater—five vears • which, at present, look as though they would constitute for us an oasis in the desert of life, an oasis to which we can always go for inspiration, not alone for our daily task, but, infinitely more valuable, to refresh our lagging spirits when wearied by this world’s strife. [u6] T he 1918 Thistle Chemical History THE Chemical Section of the Second Year Night Science Class holds the highest percentage of the students from the Industries preparatory course, in the whole Second Year Class. No doubt this accounts for the great showing of school spirit that has been displayed by them during the entire year. They have given full support to all undertakings promoted by the officers of the Second Year Class. During the year the section has lost but two of its members; one volunteering in the United States Army in its fight for liberty, and the other giving all his time to the construction of Liberty Motors for the government. However, the section has increased rather than decreased in numbers, a few men joining at the commencement of the second semester. Owing to the war the Physics department was unable to meet the proposed schedule for “Light” in the second semester. This extra time, however, was taken up by an additional evening in the laboratory. This arrangement has been considered very beneficial by most of the students, as it enabled them to get a more intimate knowledge of the most important branch of chemical science, namely analysis. They arc just as studious and earnest in their work as their picture represents, and it is to be hoped that through their industry the chemical world will be able to obtain a more intimate knowledge of the high standard set in engineering by Carnegie Tech.

The membership is composed of students of the electrical engineering course. Members of this branch may enroll as student members of the A.I.E.E. as most of the seniors have W. F. Eames - -W. R. Fuller - - done. The purpose of the organization is to afford the members opportunity to hear papers by prominent electrical engineers on the latest developments in the various fields. Meetings are held monthly and are successful from a social as well as an educational standpoint. - - - Chairman • - - - Treasurer Prof. A. J. Wurtz Prof. seniors P. A. Constantinides W. F. Eames L.

Whislcr The 1918 Thistle Carnegie Mechanical Engineering Society THE year of 1917 was an unusually interesting and successful year for the Carnegie Mechanical Engineering Society. The society was very fortunate in securing prominent men to address them on a variety of subjects of interest. Mr. Albert Kingsbury had a large number of slides that he made during his researches and which he showed during his talk on bearings and their lubrication. Mr. V. C. Wright emphasized his address on “Modern Methods and Practice,” by showing five reels of movies. Talks by Mr. J. C. Hobbs, of the Duqucsne Light Company, and Mr. Stevens, of the Duqucsne Steel Works, gave the members of the society an idea of what Carnegie Tech Graduates are doing in the business world. Probably hc most enjoyed event of the year was the Annual Dutch Lunch, held on May 25th at the German Club, where Professor Trinks was host to the society. The Alumni turned out en masse, and all agreed that once more the reputation of Professor Trinks as host had been upheld. OFFICERS E. F. Obert, President W. S. McKee, Vice-President H. D.

The loss of all of the officers-elcct forced the entire reorganization of the club, which occurred during the latter part of November. In spite of this handicap, a serjes of excellent speakers were scheduled. In this respect an innovation was introduced, by inviting several Tech graduates to address the organization. In this way the undergraduates were beneflttcd by learning the practical problems that confront the graduate and their method of attack. In a corresponding manner this gave the graduates an opportunity to gain greater experience on the lecture platform. The meetings also tended to promote broader social contact between the chemists of the various classes and to foster a certain amount of professional pride. To this same end a clubroom was secured for the men of the Chemical Department, which now offers an excellent place in which to while away the spare hours. The year for the Chemists’ Club may be characterized as quite successful. OFFICERS F. C. Faik - -- - - -- -- - President P. II. Armor................- - - Vice-President H. H.

Regular monthly meetings are held at which prominent engineers are invited to speak and at which the members give theses on engineering problems. General discussions follow, and refreshments are served. Once a year a special graduate meeting is held, so that the members may meet and better know the graduates.

Gretzler - President Secretary Treasurer [126] The 1918 Thistle Tech Red Cross Auxiliary IX the spring of 1917, the first attempts were nude to bring the activities of the American Red Cross Society into Carnegie 'l ech. At that time, however the students had not yet realized the limits and need of this world wide enterprise and so the attempts were unsuccessful. The officers elected in May of 1917 were as follows: Chairman, Anna Mc-Candless; Vice-Chairman, Eloisc McMahon; Secretary, Bernice Kruger; Treasurer, Helen MeVey. About fifty girls took the First Aid Course for which they received a certificate. In the fall, work on hospital garments was done. However, the definite renewal of work and the reorganization came with the establishment of the R. O. T. C. at Tech. This introduction of military life seemed to stimulate all with an added interest in the war and fortunately brought the fact to some of the girls that each one should have an active part in this world struggle. On advice from headquarters the reorganization of the Auxiliary includes both M. M. C. S. and the Scluxil of Applied Design. At M. M. C. S. Hospital sewing is taken care of and at the School of Applied Design, the surgical dressings work is the important work. The surgical dressings rooms arc open for work every day from eleven thirty to two o’clock. At M. M. C. S. hospital sewing is done on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and all day Thursday. Knitting is done extra at spare moments. In the line of knitting, the girls made such garments as sweaters, sox. wristlets and scarfs to send to the Tech men in service. 'Fen sets were sent to men in France, and from the letters received we are glad to know that they all arrived safely. Five sets were sent to 'lech men in camps in this country and more can be sent if the names of students in service, who lack complete outfits, are turned in to an officer of the Auxiliary. Besides supplying these men the Auxiliary has sent a large number of garments into Red Cross Headquarters and to the Xavy League. At Christmas time fifteen Trench Packets were sent to France. The following list gives a good idea of what has been accomplished in hospital sewing and surgical dressings: 250 hand towels 50 sheets 40 hospital shirts 50 pairs of bed sox too hot water bottle covers covers Surgical dressings 1st shipment 800 wipes 4x4 inches (too compresses 8x8 in. 'Flic work is progressing rapidly, but there is still room for those who have not yet given their services. OFFICERS FOR 1918 Chairman - - - - Mrs. Arthur A.

Of this amount, £100 has been sent to Dr. Blair for work with the French Orphans in France, $9o has been given to the Carnegie Tech French Orphan Fund to pay for repairs, on old clothes and for the cost of sending them to France, and 20 has been given to buy materials to make clothes for the French Orphans. The remainder of the money will go to such organizations as the Guild members deem most needy. [128] The 1918 T hist i. e M. M. C. S.

A great need of Student Life at Carnegie Tech has been attained by this organization, which affords an opportunity for the girls of this school to develop more helpful friendships in study and recreation, and to receive that spiritual stimulus so necessary in carrying out efficiently the many tasks of the present day. The purpose of the Association is to develop a more hearty interest in the religious work of the institution; to promote growth in Christian faith and character, especially through the study of the Bible, a wider knowledge of missions, and in Christian service; to co-operate in united effort with all students in extending the proposed program of World Democracy for Christian Character and Service throughout the world. C. A. Meetings are held every Thursday at twilight. The large number of voluntary charter members and the interest these members have shown in the work presages the firm establishment of the Association. Officers Miss Marian Holmes ....

More than fifty members of this organization have answered the call to the colors, and upon the remaining few has fallen rather heavily the task of following out the purpose for which the club was organized; namely, the promotion of interest in the study of architecture and the allied arts. In spite of the constant drain upon its membership, a very successful exhibition was held in the Hewlett Museum. The exhibit was greatly augmented by many fine pieces of work loaned by the faculty. The interest shown by the faculty and students of the other departments repaid the members many times for the labor spent in bringing their dreams of an exhibition into reality. FIRST SEMESTER H. F.

DePrefoktaike [!3i] T he i g i 8 Thistle Tech Studio Club SO this, then, is to say that we have here an organization of men founded on the plan a ’la Boheme. Like unto their ancestors of the 1912th dynasty, their philansteric is to stimulate, to promote an interest in art among their ilk and fellow-students, fine and superfine. The members, (hie et. ubisque) are of the kind that wear their clothes the manner in which they please, simply because society directs the noncogibund to the letter his manner of dressing. In short, the members of the Tech Studio Club arc odd; they are eccentricity itself. Traditions come; traditions go. Most of them don’t amount to a hang. A college fraternity organizes, thinks up a secret to make the human goat pay twenty dollars to find out, installs a bunch of sacred rituals and whatnot, and asks its members to brother the life out of each other, and, in the end, no one actually gets anywhere. The members of the Tech Studio Club didn’t have to pay any initiation fee to a veiled shrine. Neither do they call each other “brother this” or “brother that.” They endeavor to take life as it comes, to make life what they can, the best they can, and live in a natural, unaffected way, as the Lord perhaps intended for man to live, before the devil came along and invented society. The members help each other just for the joy, the satisfaction of helping. James C. Stuart, President Arthur J. Knorr. Vice-President Charles J. Taylor Charles W.

[U3] The 1918 Thistle Design Student Orchestra FOR some time past, Mr. O’Brien, Head of the Music Department, has desired a small student orchestra so that each student would have some experience in conducting. Dean Bossange was heartily in favor. At last, Design school has this striving orchestra. This orchestra has appeared at some of the general assemblies and was greatly-appreciated by the students. The members of the orchestra have enjoyed their frequent practices and benefited very much from them. The aim of the orchestra is to give each member some practical experiences, and it has been realized to some extent.

During the year the Graphica was fortunate in having many prominent printers on its list of lecturers. The Graphica honor roll now carries nineteen names, two of the members holding commissions. It was not thought advisable to undertake the usual Inspection Trip under war conditions, but the annual Christmas Card Campaign was accorded the same hearty reception as in other years and afforded sufficient funds to provide the Freshman Scholarship, the holder of which this year was P. R. Gerety. In spite of its many handicaps the organization has made satisfactory-progress during the year in all of its various activities. HONORARY MEMBERS I Iarry L. Gace John T. I Ioyi.e A.

'Through this arrangement the Council receives the benefit of having brought to it the sentiment of the students of each of the four schools through the presidents of the governing bodies, and in addition is given the voice of the Senior Classes. Besides these members from the four schools directly, the Council has as members the president of the Student Activities IGeorge E. Trent.......................Design Paul L.

Both of these latter members are also students. Each spring a candidate for the presidency of the Student Council is nominated in each of the four schools and it is from these four candidates that the Council, before adjourning for the summer vacation, elects its president for the coming school year. 'The Student Council of the Carnegie Institute of Technology is now just one year old; and, like any new organization that aspires to being permanent, it has spent most of its [140] The 1918 Thistle time in the organization of itself and in becoming acquainted with the scope of its power and its obligations. It is this kind of work that lays the foundation for a lasting structure, even though it does not require much printer’s ink to record the deeds. There are, however, two items of achievement that deserve mention; first, that this year is, through the efforts of the Student Council, the first year that the Seniors of all four schools completing their courses and graduating, will wear the Alumni Ring of Carnegie, and second, that the Council is this year re-editing and publishing a Student Hand-Book that will not only serve as a “Freshman” Bible but which will contain a great deal of information that is of interest to the upper-classman as well. The present Council feels that its work has not been in vain and confidently believes that the incoming Council will find that in every instance the present body has first weighed the facts well and then acted in accordance with the precision that comes from calm thought and judgment. Student government is an object toward which the student bodies of all the more progressive colleges strive, and in a great many instances where their object has been attained the students have proved that they are quite capable of governing themselves in matters that concern them as a student body. The working out of a governmental machine that will operate smoothly, necessarily requires a great deal of time and some experimenting. Here at Carnegie it has been a process rather slow of solution. The first of our four schools to adopt a form of self-government was the Margaret Morrison School. The success of the Senate of this school was soon a matter of common interest. The long-felt need of some body that could act officially for the Design School students took form in what is now known as the Senate, and it was only a short time after this that the students of the Industries Schools devised a similar body which they called the Executive Council. It was not until the fall of the year 1916-1917 that the Science School began work upon a plan of self-government for that school. The labors of the committee resulted in the formation of the Student Senate. As soon as it became apparent that each of the four schools would soon be represented by a substantial governing body, and indeed even before the Science School had entirely completed its plan, a representative committee of the whole school set to work devising a plan of government that would embrace the entire student body and that could act officially for the students in affairs that concerned them as a whole or that concerned more than one school. We have the result of the work of this committee in what we now know as the Student Council. [Hi] The 1918 Thistle Board of Student Activities OUR membership list shows that the Board of Student Activities is at least one institution which represents all Tech, the four schools, day, night, alumni, and faculty. The chief function of the Board is to supervise and finance the recognized non-athlctic activities. These include the Musical Clubs, Thistle, Shilling. and others, and in addition the Board is responsible to the students for the care of Carnegie Union, a real job we find. In the regular monthly meetings of the Board we have managed, with many compromises between varied opinions, to carry on the work of backing the non-athlctic activities, matters being complicated by a reduced income due to smaller student enrollment, the loss of several members, much uncertainty as to the future, and the resignation of Graduate Manager Gerhart in February. Mr. Redenbaugh, of the Admin- istration Staff, was appointed to assume the non-athletic responsibilities of the vacant position, while Mr. Evman, of the Physical Training Department, took up the athletic work. The Activities Board has in the past handled its finances, with the aid of the Graduate Manager, generally so well as to balance accounts at the end of each year with some money to the credit of the Board. This accumulated reserve may save some cherished activities next year or may be held until there is another Carnegie Union to furnish in the New Administration Building —whenever that is. In addition to attending to routine business, the Board has brought its constitution up to date, decided to publish a 1918-19 Plcbc Bible, and to co-operate with the Tech Committee to entertain the enlisted men at our school. [142] The 1918 Thistle Members of this Board whose attendance is perfect receive the non-athletic insignia for their year’s work —and they deserve it.

The plan of Student Government, which was last year instituted in the Science School, has worked very successfully; and this body is recognized as one of the permanent and efficient organizations of the school. The personnel of the Senate has changed several times this year, as one representative after another left to join the Colors. R. D. Foxon was the first to leave, J. D. Beatty followed a short time later, and R. C. Barron completed the Senate’s Honor Roll in the fore part of the second semester. The Senate has taken an active part in school affairs, and has made its presence felt and appreciated by the student body. It is regretted that the faces of those mentioned above, as well as of G. W. Todd, E. F. Obcrt, and J. L. Herman, do not appear in the picture, as they were active and hard workers for the Senate. PERSONNEL Senior Members R. T. Soule, President G.W. Todd W. V. Wolf E. F.

The total count showed that not more than fifteen were back who were in the clubs the preceding year. New officers had to be elected to replace those who had not come back to school. J. J. Pannabaker was elected as manager in place of Mr. Reid, who had entered the sen-ice. After several months Pannabaker himself entered the service and then the t Manager’s work was taken care of by F. B. Treat and F. A. Faville. Then Treat left school shortly after the second semester began, and Faville was unanimously elected manager. 'The great amount of work that he has done for the Clubs is shown by the fact that he has booked 14 concerts in a period of less than two months. On November 24th, the management tendered a smoker to those of the old Clubs who yet remained from last year, with the invited guests consisting of all who had tried out for the Clubs this season. Old songs were sung, speeches made by mem- 53] The 1918 This t l e bers of the Executive Committee, and several stunts pulled off by various men who were trying out for the specialty numbers on this year’s program. The concert season opened with the usual charity concert at the Pittsburgh City Home at May view on January 4th. 'Phis was one of the most successful opening concerts the Clubs have ever given. On the seventh of February the Clubs journeyed to Latrobe, where they gave a concert in the High School Auditorium. Here they made a decided hit, and the townspeople said that without a doubt they would be able to give a concert there next year. On March the twelfth, the Clubs gave a concert in Tarentum at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium. There was a large and appreciative audience, and the press criticism was very favorable. Then followed concerts at intervals of only a few days at P. C. W., and the Third United Presbyterian Church on Shady Avenue. The Home Concert, of course, was the climax of the season. Considering the war and the various activities which detract from a mere concert, the Music Hall was well filled with an audience that appreciated the efforts put forth by the men. The two Directors each delighted the audience with special solos, and both Clubs performed in a splendid manner. In the second part, a musical comedy depicting scenes at the Skibo Inn was presented by the Glee Club. Mr. L. F. Weninger wrote the words and arranged the details for the entire play and great credit is due him. The eighth annual dance was held at the Schenley immediately after the concert. On Thursday and Friday, the nth and 12th of April, the Clubs gave concerts at New Castle and Youngstown, Ohio, before large audiences that received the fellows with enthusiasm. The fellows were entertained at both places by the members of the Senior High School classes at dances. The trip will long be remembered by the men who were chosen to go. The remainder of the season consisted of concerts in the Pittsburgh district. Among these were Swiss-vale, Oakmont, Wilkinsburg, Syria Mosque (Knights Templars’ Benefit), North Side, Lawrenceville, and Sheraden. Although the season was late in starting, the number and the quality of the concerts given stamps it as one of the best the Clubs have ever given. MF.MBFRSIHP J. F.

When only sixteen, he toured South America, and later returned to Leipzig, where he continued his study of music. A short time later he again went to South America and appeared in all the larger cities as concert mandolinist. In the spring of 1909, Signor Scalzo came to New York and was engaged to play the violin with the Pittsburgh Orchestra. After playing with various musical organizations in this country and in Europe, Signor Scalzo decided to make his home in Pittsburgh. He became the Director of the Mandolin Club of the Carnegie Musical Clubs in 1910, a position which he has held to the present time. Signor Scalzo was one of the first directors to introduce the higher grade of music in such organizations and he has brought the Mandolin Club to a point where it is on a par with the best College mandolin clubs in the country. Mr. N. E. LaMarca was born in Scanno, Province Aquila, Italy, on March 26th, 1891. He came to New York at the age of eleven and obtained his education in various schools in this country. He began the study of music under the tutorship of C. R. Newman of Pittsburgh, and in the meantime was soloist in the Bellefield Presbyterian Church of our own district. He also has been engaged as tenor soloist of the Emanuel Episcopal Church, and then was transferred to the Methodist Protestant Church of the East In addition to his choral and solo work, Mr. La Marca has appeared in numerous operas and oratorios throughout the country. His rich dramatic voice, coupled with his pleasing personality, has won many friends for him in the numerous entertainments in which he has participated throughout, the country. r156] The 1918 Thistle Did You Ever? When a train goes shooting by, Kicking cinders in your eye, Did you ever stop and ponder for a while, As to how the dang thing runs, With the noise of forty guns, Over signal, switch and frog at every mile? When the war’s reports come out, And the newsies shriek and shout, How the Germans shoot our armies up in style, Did you ever stop a minute; Stop to find the truth that’s in it; If you did your face would always wear a smile? When your hours of toil are o’er And you slam your office door, On the troubles and the trials of the day, Did you ever stop to wonder, Whether you had made a blunder, Which omitted might have helped increase your pay? When upon a mean wet day, Little Henry rolls your way, And decorates your suit with spots of grime, Did you ever just consider That you also own a flivver, And have decorated others with your slime? On the things you’ve done and seen, Often strange though they may seem, If you’d stop and ponder just a little while, You would never have to cuss Nor to raise an ugly fuss, And your face would always wear a sunny smile. J. H. W.—Night Industries [157] T HE 1918 T HISTLE THE CARNEGIE TECH BAND TECH has a Band this year of which she may be justly proud. It is one of the most progressive musical organizations of the Institution and ranks among the best college bands in the country. It is composed entirely of students,who receive very efficient instruction under Director E. F. Sullivan. The value of the Band of Tech can not be overestimated. It adds greatly to the school spirit, both at Athletic events on the held and at the various parades, assemblies, and other special occasions. As a military unit, the Band will play an important part in conjunction with the regular military drill. As a concert band, it has made a very commendable showing wherever it has given concerts. The equipment, both in uniforms and instruments, is now complete. 'The Student Activities Committee made a liberal appropriation this year for the purchase of new instruments. 'The school has been very fortunate in being able to retain E. F. Sullivan (otherwise known as “Sully”) as director of the Band. He has fully demonstrated that his heart is in the work, and is a man who has gained the admiration of not only the band men but of the student body in general. He has been with the band since it was first organized and has always taken a personal interest in it. Much credit is due also to the officers and members of the Band, for it is through their untiring efforts that the organization has been able to attain the high standing which it has. May Tech always have as good a Band as she has this Year. E. F. SULLIVAN, Director [ 58] The 1918 T histle E. F. Sullivan S. A. Smith -J. A. ClVILETT - - - Director - - - Manager Assistant Manager M.

Gens [159] • The 1918 Thistle Junior Prom Committee Dl RING the last week of January it was finally decided by the Junior classes of Design and Science Schools to hold a formal Prom. The committee got busy immediately and before the first meeting adjourned, the time and place had been decided. From then until about ten days previous to the dance the committee was floundering. How many couples were going to be there? That was the big question upon which rested the success or failure of the dance. It was not until four days before the affair that an approximate answer to this question was given and the fur started to fly. To make a long story short, at ten o’clock on February 21, 1918, in the Rit-tenhouse B a 11-roo m, George Ellerton, President of the Junior Science class and Miss Smith, started one of the best Proms ever held at Tech. T h e music was wonderful, it sort of made you forget the war, v o u r troubles and boiled shirt. Due to the war times the programs and luncheon were very simple. About three-thirty the crowd started to dwindle, placing the Prom in with the other noble Tech traditions as one of the finest. Much credit is due the committee who turned out such a splendid affair in such a short time. COMMITTEE R. R. Willoughby - - - - Chairman F. J. Nuttall ----- Treasurer F. A. Faville ------ Secretary C. 0. Hob an I. S. Stark C. D. Mills 0. M. Olsen The Junior Class of M. M. C. S. held their Informal Wartime Prom in the Carnegie Union on February 22. Festivities began at 9:30 P. M. Anna McCandless, Junior President; Dean Breed; Miss Browning, Junior Honorary Member; Helen Bosworth, Senior President, and Mrs Salisbury, Senior Honorary Member, received and dancing was enjoyed until three o’clock. RiehPs Orchestra, with Bennie Levant at the piano, furnished the music. Palms and ferns were banked around the orchestra. A large American flag hung back of the orchestra, and a large Carnegie banner was draped over the door. 'I'lie programs were embossed with crossed flags of the United States, England, and France. Twenty dances and four extras were listed. A luncheon of fruit salad, sandwiches, olives and coffee was served on the first and second floors. Six Plcbe girls, gowned in Martha Washington Costumes, served the guests at beautiful, candle-lit tables, decorated in Colonial style. 'I’lie success of the whole prom was due to the efforts of Dorothy Harlow, Junior Social Chairman and to her committee. The committees were as follows: Music, Bernice Kruger (Chairman), Margaret Lappc; Programs, Mary Truman (Chairman), Clare Todd, Margaret Hollar, and Monica Collins; Decoration, Bess Sharpcly (Chairman), Ruth Toberg, and Gladys Fleming; Luncheon.

DEAN WHEELER, Business Manager SINCE time immemorial—back of the days of the Pharaohs— of ancient Babylon—of Confucius—back to the time when the instincts of man prompted him to preserve his own body and those of his ilk—back to the days when the human mind became awakened to the fact that one and one made two, was born the Art Preservative. It was then that the chronicler, by word of mouth, by hieroglyph, or by sign, began to tell of the deeds of himself and of his fellows. The chronicler of events has become the stepping stone of progress. He is the creditor of civilization. It is by his efforts that we are able to resume the work where our predecessors have ended. It is through him that we know the life of Christ. And the chronicler works today in the same manner of the prehistoric. He notes and records the progress of the community. He brands an impression on the earth, today in material form, which will never be erased. He speaks to the future; he lays the foundation of nations; he promotes the intelligence of mankind; he is the preserver of achievement. T. D. W. THISTLE BOARD William M.

ARMOR [168] The 1918 T h 1 stle The Tartan THE many and varied new interests which have entered into our life have had a constant tendency to tear further and further apart the bonds which have hitherto held firmly the different schools. One of the biggest factors in holding these bonds intact through these trying times has been The Tartan. Though handicapped by repeatedly having members of its staff leave to serve their country, its good work has continued, uninterrupted from week to week, through the efforts of its Editor-in-Chief, Paul II. Armor. It has served its school by bringing all matters of common interest to the attention of the student body. A new task, which has fallen to its lot this year, is that of keeping the mind of the student body ever in touch with the great struggle in which our country is engaged. 'Phis has been done through the news of all the varied war courses which are now being maintained at Tech. The Tartan is the one organization which is so essentially a part of Tech that all efforts are being made by the staff to maintain it on the high plane it now holds among all college papers.

S. A., whenever we feel like it, 1918. EXTRA! EXTRA! Junior Mechanicals Attend Prom. Sweeny lips Taxi Driver 50c With the advent of the Junior Prom, the Junior Mechanicals hied themselves to Fred’s ton-sorial parlors and had their luxurious growths of shrubbery removed, and as a consequence they all were able to sec out. The “Skat” Company declared dividends, as there was a tremendous sale previous to the Prom, due to the endeavor of the Mechanicals to remove their high water marks. At any rate the high water marks were lowered so that they did not show above the collar. During the excitement of getting ready, it is said that Favillc climbed into his pajamas, started to shave with a tooth brush, and then brushed his teeth with the shaving powder. Dickinson, in taking his Juliet home to McKeesport, used great diplomacy with the taxi driver and succeeded in holding his bill down to , 14.50. Mike Sweeny, our artist, nervous with the intense excitement, made the unfortunate mistake of tipping the taxi driver 50c. Toby Miller, with his usual eye for business, sold his beard to a mattresses company, who, we note, immediately closed a contract with the U. S. Government to supply the Army with mattresses. Probably the one thing that made the biggest hit of the evening was the Highland Fling, pulled off by Mr. Sproull and Daddy Yates. After the twenty-fourth dance, Favillc went home, but the call of the wild proved too strong, so after eating breakfast he came back to the Prom, and with a woe begone look begged dances for the rest of the evening. REVIEW OF THE FOOTBALL SEASON OF 1917 The football season, just closed, has been the most brilliant one ever experienced by the murdering Mechanicals. The first game against the Commercials proved to be nothing more than Mechanicals vs Mechanicals, and any way the score was taken, the Mechanicals won. A week later, McCullough’s Pets appeared on the horizon, and the whitewash [I7i] was slapped on in a most thrilling manner. Several days before the game, the Engine Wipers decided to make this game a practice game, and let the Civils off easy, but certain individuals on the Civil team crowed so awfully loud that we thought a good trimming would do them good. Accordingly, this trimming was administered in a manner that has spread the fame of the Mechanicals far and wide. As a consequence, the Civils arc very tame, and will even eat out of the hands of the Sanitary Engineers. The Civils still stick to the old stuff, that Oliphant tickled their men in the ribs with so that they couldn’t play, but this is most ridiculous, because of the fact that the Civil’s mascot, Pop Thayer, was on the side lines, and acted as field judge. The Chemical Compounds were next roped in. They proved to be the reserve team masquerading under a new name. In spite of the liquid fire and gas attacks which they attempted to pull off on the murdering Mechanicals, they were beaten 6-0. Darkness cut the game short, and it’s a good thing for the Compounds that it did. At the close of the game Oliphant Dickinson was elected captain for the next season.

Miller EDITORIAL There has lately been much discussion among the Mechanicals about the advisability of using hollow periods (.) in punctuating sentences, as a war-time measure. Mr. Hoban holds that hollow periods arc no saving of ink, and cites the ease of the baker who tried to save dough by making the holes in his dough-nuts larger, but finally found that it took more dough to go around a large hole than a small one. ‘This baker,” Mr. Hoban declares, “went crazy, and is now at Marshalsca.” This is. no doubt, intended as an underhand thrust at the hollow periods, implying, of course, that -they arc “nuts” as the cant expression goes. This is, of course, vehemently denied by the hollow men. 'They hold that hollow periods arc stronger, and as an example they point to smoke stacks, which, they claim, arc made hollow for strength. Mr. Blaisdcll was approached on this subject, and after a lengthy discussion, lie decided he had nothing to say. From a kincmatical standpoint, lie explained the subject cou'd not lie approached, due to the fact that there is no purely relative motion. If approached from any other point of view, he —-r A€l We Good I said, the results would have no practical value. After many attempts, our correspondent found Mr. Howard in his office, and broached the subject to him. He said he had already given this considerable thought, and had finally decided that neither solid nor hollow periods would completely fill the bill, and brought preliminary sketches of x-shaped or cross periods, which he claimed he had used successfully in many ways. The matter is still open for discussion, and we would be glad to hear from any of our correspondents on the matter. We take our pen in hand to touch upon that much debated, and as yet undecided question— the lubrication of slide rules during examinations. As is well known, slide rules running at their maximum capacity for three hours, more or less, during an exam., arc not infrequently found to heat at the bearings, especially when roots higher than the fourth arc extracted, or when numbers greater than 12.000 arc multiplied or divided. Just how this affects the coefficient of friction. has not been accurately determined, but recent tests have shown that the friction varies approximately as the square of the reciprocal. 'The Editor, however, has come to the conclusion that a lubricant is not necessary, and that with proper use of the slide rule, there is no necessity of excessive heat being generated at the bearings. As proof of his contention. he presents the following data, and shows how simply and logically his conclusion is arrived at. A fundamental rule of mathematics states that multiplication is the reverse of division, and the extraction of a root is the reverse of raising to a power. As ordinarily done on a slide rule, raising a number to a power produces heat, and multiplying numbers together increases the friction coefficient. Now, since these processes arc accompanied by the production of heat, but are reversible. is it not logical to concede that the extraction of a root of a number, or the dividing of two numbers together, should have exactly the opposite effect, and actually cool the rule and reduce the friction? There is no reason at all that it should not. 'Die solution to the problem is obvious—it is almost forced upon us by its simplicity. To keep the rule to constant temperature, and to avoid the binding due to heating, it is only necessary to alternately multiply and divide, or to alternately raise to a power and extract a root. By arranging the work with this end in view, it is a matter of only a few moments to run through the calculations and pick out pairs of numbers involving opposite operations. By doing this the life of the rule is lengthened, the messy lubricant is done away with, and an even temperature is maintained. The Editor feels sure that his plan will meet with instant approval once it is tried, and is willin ’ to answer personally all inquiries concerning his method of slide rule operation. [172] The 1918 Thistle THE GEAR GROAN Page 3 The editors would like to see a tiddle-de-winks contest between 1 lie Civils and the Architects.

ATHLETICS The 1918 Thistle A General Athletic Review SINCE the entrance of the United States into the great struggle going on in Europe, many colleges and other organizations have seriously discussed the advisability of discontinuing athletics for the duration of the war. In the colleges it became pri-m a r i 1 y a question whether inter-collegiate athletics should be continued during this national crisis. Many of the leading colleges and universities of the country, among whom were Yale, Harvard, Princeton, and Wisconsin, immediately called off all schedules involving games with outside colleges, while other colleges decided that they would go ahead with their athletic programs under as nearly normal conditions as possible. These so w i d e 1 y different methods of procedure were both prompted by the same motive; which was that the best interest of the nation might be served: in one case by eliminating all inter-collegiate contests, and in the other by continuing as nearly normal as possible inter-collegiate athletics as they were before the United States entered the war. The men who guided the athletic policies of the colleges that discontinued athletics were most earnest, thoughtful, and sincere in their conviction that intercollegiate athletics had no place on a war program; while those who shaped the policy of the colleges that continued their inter-collegiate activities were equally sincere in their belief that such activities should be continued. This wide difference of opinion on the part of the colleges led to a meeting of the National Collegiate Athletic Association being called in Washington in August, at which time the Secretary of War addressed the Association, and paid one of the highest tributes possible to college athletics when he said: “The officers’ training camps held by the government were attended by tens of thousands of young men whose minds had been trained in the colleges and high schools of the country, and whose splendid physical condition was due to the collegiate and high-school system of athletics. They were a national asset of incalculable value, and collegiate athletics should have in mind the possibility of this kind of emergency in the future.” In this connection I would like to quote from President Wilson’s public statement made May 22, 1917: J. HOWARD McCULLOCH [176] The 1918 Thistle “I would be sincerely sorry to see the men and boys in our colleges and schools give up their athletic programs, for our young men must be made physically fit in order that they may take the place of those who are now of military age, and exhibit the vigor and alertness which we are proud to believe to be characteristic of young men.” The response of Carnegie Tech's men to the call of the nation I believe to be second to no other school in the country, and among the many who went from school last spring into the officers’ training camps, and other branches of the service, were practically all of the boys who had upheld the honor of Tech on the athletic field the previous year, and we are proud to know that the spirit which these men exhibited on the athletic field, where they strove to uphold the traditions of Tech, has taken them into larger fields of service where they will fight for the traditions of their country. It is a lasting tribute to Carnegie Tech’s Athletics. Despite the loss of so many of our athletes, it was decided to continue athletics along as nearly normal lines as possible, in order that the spirit developed by these men who have left might be kept up, and because we believe that it was a national duty. The efforts of the men who responded to the call for the various athletic teams is worthy of the greatest commendation. Many of these men, with little or no previous athletic training, came out day after day and put forth every effort, that the spirit of Carnegie Tech might go on. Unfortunately, the student body did not grasp the situation as they should, and stand back of these men in their earnest efforts to keep the spark burning. Naturally, they were unable to put up the same kind of a game that a team of seasoned men would have put up, but it takes far more spirit to fight a losing fight and keep going, and it requires real spirit on the part of the student body as a whole to stand back of a team that is losing, and give them the support which they deserve for their untiring efforts. There are many distractions in the lives of our students at the present time. Many of them have already offered their services, and are only waiting to be called. These men naturally lose most of their interest in school activities, but let us make a most earnest effort during the next year to keep alive Tech traditions, and give our loyal support to the men who are representing us on the firing line. J. Howard McCulloch, Director of Athletics [1771 The 1918 This t l e Review of the 1917 Football Season THE football season of 1917 for Carnegie Tech was peculiar from a great many standpoints. The preceding season had been so successful that 'Tech adherents considering the material left over were anticipating a season of victories. The manager, Robert E. Vernon, had arranged a very attractive schedule; but owing to the condition of our National affairs, it was spoiled b y cancelations. Then Mr. Vernon enlisted just before the season opened, leaving Mr. Manic e 1, his assistant manager, in charge of the team, and he in turn enlisted, a n d Dickinson Mills assumed the managerial burden. Then most of the veteran material dr. w. l. had enlisted in some branch of the service or other, leaving only two members of the preceding Varsity team in school. The upper classes were so depleted by enlistments that very little enthusiasm was shown for football. There was no pre-season training at Camp Louise Carnegie; and owing to a death in his family, the Coach, Walter P. Steffen, could not get here until the latter part of September. This handicapped him severely, for he had to pick his team from new material. However, history repeats itself, and Tech went into the season with the same old spirit that has placed it where it is in athletics. Owing to Yale and Grove City canceling on account of discontinuing football for the period of the war, the opening game was arranged with the Army team at West Point. The Army did —not suffer from en-listments as other schools did and had a veteran team to face our team, many of the members o f which had never been in a college game before. They outweighed us, but although they won from us, they did not outfight us. The score 28 to o, although apparently large, was gratifying for a num-marks ber of reasons. Dur- ing the game, Early, one of the two veterans, had to retire on account of injuries, as did Levinson, in whom the coach put a great deal of dependence. Losing these two valuable men early in the game, only seemed to instill fight in our young team; and the Army, with their excellent and All-American half-back Oliphant, were forced to their limit for every inch of ground gained. From another stand-point it demonstrated to the students of Lech that thev had a real football [179] The 1918 Thistle coach to handle their team. He took these men with very little experience and in a very short time molded them into a unit that was a credit to the institution. This was brought out more and more as the season progressed. Following this game, the coach faced quite a serious problem i n the development of the team owing to the loss of Early and Levinson. However, W e s t-minster and Ohio University were played on two successive Saturdays, and these games resulted in victories for Tech. Then c a m e Allegheny w i t h practically the same team they had the year before, and a team that had been enjoying a very successful season. The Allegheny men were fast, experienced, and well drilled, and slightly heavier than our men. Owing to this fact, although the score was a tie, the result was as good as a victory to Tech. Although the game was played in a veritable sea of mud and the rain fell constantly during the game, it did not seem to dampen the fighting spirit of our boys in the least, and the game was very evenly contested. Cornell was the next, and again history repeated itself, for 'Lech was honored even in defeat. It was another seesaw affair, and only in the last few minutes of play did the heavy Cornell team seem to be able to do any consistent gaining. It was in this game, more than in any other of the year, that the inexperience of our team showed to disadvantage. However, in the face of discouraging circumstances, the boys never lost their spirit and kept the old fighting spirit alive until the final whistle blew. 'The last game of the year was with our greatest rival, the University of Pittsburgh. They had another championship team, and had gone through the season winning every game by a comfortable margin. Owing to the closeness of the score the preceding season, and the fact that Tech had actually outplayed them in 1916, the rivalry was keener than ever before. The day for the game was bright, but the ground was wet and slippery, which was a distinct advantage to the heavier Pitt team. Our team, so far a s comparative scores g o, w a s greatly outclassed and would have been beaten by a large score; but again the old Tech Manager C IX MILLS [1 So] The 1918 Thistle spirit asserted itself and the team rose to the occasion most magnificently. Pitt heat us by the score of 28 to o, but the game was more closely contested than the score would indicate. In this game, as in the Army game, did misfortune visit Tech, for Early, who was playing a star game, was forced to retire on account of injuries. Phis, no doubt, weakened our team, but Tech kept plugging away and fought every inch of the ground gained by Pitt. This game again brought out the fact that a Tech team is not frightened by the size and reputation of its opponents and also that losing a good man will not demoralize them. The coach, manager and members of the team deserve only the highest praise for their spirit and enthusiasm in the face of such discouraging circumstances. With practically eleven new men, some of whom had never played football, Mr. Steffen molded a team which for ability and fighting spirit would be a credit to any institution, and too much credit can not be given him for his effort. To predict what will happen in 1918 would be very foolish, but it is a comfort to know that some of the 1917 team will return, and that Mr. Steffen will again be in charge. Here ’s hoping for another very successful season! Dr. Wm. L. Marks LETTER MEN Coach W. P. Steffen E. A. Earlcv E. M. Gretzlcr Captain J. S. Me heaters A. C. Alexander J. tavinson Manager C. I).

S. McFkatkrs, “Mac Captain Tackle Age, 22 Weight, 183 Height, 6-2 Mac played three years of Varsity Football at Tech. Me had always shown great ability on the line, but was this year given the difficult task of leading a team composed principally of green men against experienced adversaries. Mac's game was strong, aggressive, and intelligent. Me directed the primary defense at all times, and did so with exceptional precision and success at Cornell. OlT the gridiron. Mac was the life of the squad. His particular delight was in creating difficulties for the waiters. He intends to write a book concerning one of these incidents entitled, The Mystery of Child’s or the Purloined Beef Steak.” Mac joined the Naval Reserve after the close of the season and immediately went into the service. J. Lkvjnson End Age, 21 Weight,} 58 Height, 5-8 Levinson came to Tech from Penn State, and because of his speed and excellent build was considered one of the brightest prospects for the season. In the first game of the season against the Army at West Point, he tackled the gigantic VandergrafT and so hard did he droo him that both men went out for the season because of the injuries. Levinson sustained a broken shoulder, which, only was taken out of splints the week before the Pitt game. They were hardly removed before he put in his appearance on the field in uniform in spite of the orders of the doctor. lie was in uniform ready to go into the Pitt game if the occasion demanded. Although Levinson did not play the stipulated number of games for his letter. Coach Steffen awarded it to him because of his remarkable display of grit and ability. Shortly after the first of the year. Levinson went into the Aviation Service and if he exhibits the same spirit in the air that he did on the gridiron it is time the Germans quit flying. G. F. Wagnkr Weight, 168 Wagner was one of the most consistent players on the team. Seldom doing the spectacular, he was always on the job when the occasion demanded, dropping the opposing backs at the ends, taking out interference and getting down under the kicks. Although lie came out rather late in the season, he immediately climlied into a regular berth, from which he was never after displaced. Me and Williams together made a redoubtable pair of wing men for both offense and defense. Wagner is only a Plcbc, and is another one of the bright hopes for the coming season. [182] The 1918 Thistle II. F. Carey “Scoops” Guard Age, 21 Weight, 174 Height, 6-4 Scoops” was the rangiest man on the squad, lie had experienced a rather successful basketball career, and although rather green on the gridiron went out for the team, and under the careful tutelage of Coach Steffen developed into a first-class guard. I le was at all times aggressive and shifty. On the West Point trip lie found that New York has a few bigger buildings than Oakmont. Pa. Incidentally he was nursing a sore neck for several days following his return. On the Cornell trip he displayed a ‘“morbid propensity for Procrastination,” missing the train and keeping the managerial staff on the hop. Shortly after the close of the season. Carey enlisted in the Aviation Corps, and was declared by the examining board to be probably the best physical specimen accepted in this district Scoops is a man of whom Tech may well be proud. Fred Bloom “Shorty” Quarterback Age, 19 Weight, 147 Height, 5-6 ““Shorty” had an unusually difficult task in satisfying Tech football followers, inasmuch as he had to fill the shoes of no less brilliant and experienced predecessor than “‘Sunny” Kesner, who has been acclaimed the best man on the gridiron star wearing the plaid. Bloom, however, achieved the unexpected and handled the team in a truly admirable manner. Mis physique and manner of carrying himself on the field so nearly resemble his great predecessor, that at Cornell it was believed that lie was a brother of Sunny’s. Bloom’s strongest attack consisted of his end runs. lie was also able to carry the ball through the line, but this avenue of attack was usually cut off by the lightness of his own line. He is to be commended for his cheery and sportsmanlike conduct at all times. Sylvester Williams “Yet” Captain-elect Age, 20 Weight, 176 “Vet” was unanimously selected to captain the 'lech 1918 football outfit at the banquet of the letter men after the Pitt game. During his three years of Varsity experience he has at all times shown himself worthy of this honor—the highest recognition in Tech Athletics—by virtue of his versatility, fight, courage, and gentlemanly deportment on and off the field. I le is one of the few athletes who train during the entire year, and can not but be a successful leader by the very force of his example. During the 1916 season, when Tech had the best f x tball team in its history, Coach Steffen declared Williams to be the “most valuable man on the squad” because of his unusual versatility and consistency o( playing. [183] End Height, 6-0 The 1918 Thistle E. M. Gkktxi.br, “Grctz” Center Age, 21 Weight, 168 lleight, 6-2 Grctzler was a steady, consistent man at center throughout the season, lie played a hard, fast game and gave our opponents no little trouble by smashing through and grounding their forward passes. Another great asset to the team was his ability to kick off. ■‘Grctz” is an excellent sportsman, as well as successful in the more apparent athletic accomplishments. In the Ohio University game, his opponent used such tactics that he was put out of the game, but not once did Grctzlcr, even though a larger man, attempt to retaliate. “Grctz” is an all-around athlete, having won letters in basketball and baseball, as well as football. Arthur C.Ai.exander, “Alex” Half-Back Age, 20 Weight, 140 Height, 5-9 “Alex' was the fastest man on the team. In the previous years his weight, or rather lack of it, had been a considerable handicap to his football career. but with the change in athletic conditions caused by the war the opportunity for lighter men placed him in his own clement. His most reliable mode of attack consisted in circling the ends; but he also was capable of making nice gains through the lines if the occasion demanded, lie was at his best in the Pitt game, showing pep every minute he was on the field. I). A. Nemser, “Red” Guard Age, 20 Weight. 175 Height, 5-11 “Red” received his baptism in football fire, as is were, at the hands of Oliphant and the other Army stars. Previous to this, all of his knowledge of the game had been derived from his experiences as a spectator and playing on the dormitory teams. However, he more than counterbalanced this lack of experience with hard work and a fighting spirit. During the season he developed from a piece of green material into a shifty guard, the Pittsburgh newspapers referring to him as the find of the season. Now that he has derived such excellent football experience, great things may be anticipated for the next grid season from “Our Alfalfa.” [184] The 1918 Thistle Holmes Lynx “Windy” Halfback Age, 20 Weight, 150 Height, 5-8 ■“Windy” came to Tech from Washington. Pa., where lie had been an ardent follower of W. J. athletics from the time he started to walk. His experience derived in this way stood him in good stead throughout the season. He was always cool and well able to quickly size up the opponent’s attack. Lynn did the punting, and his kicks averaged a little better than forty yards during the Pitt game. He possesses unusual kicking ability, and on the occasions when this end of the work did not come up to his usual standard, it was because the line did not hold and lie was forced to rush his kick. Lynn is only a Plcbc. and with his ability to kick and carry the ball at the ends, a brilliant gridiron career at Tech may well be predicted for him. Edward Ginn “Unconscious” Age, 19 Pull Back Weight, 151 Height, 5-10 Ginn made up for his lack of weight with his abundance of fighting spirit. In spite of all odds he would never admit defeat until the final blow of the whistle. I Ic came to Tech from McKeesport High, and was immediately thrown into the important role of Varsity Full Back, and at all times acquitted himself with honor. With a heavier and more experienced line. Ginn would be a wonder as a line plunger. As it was he was quite reliable at making gains through this path of attack. Ginn is young, handles himcslf well, and is taking on weight rapidly. lie will probably return to school this fall and should prove a most valuable asset to the team. James R. Jones “Fat” Age, 21 Weight, 195 “Fat” Jones was a tower of strength on the line. He could be called upon with certainty to open a hole for the backficld on the offense, and had a habit of sifting through the line and dumping the opposing backficld in its tracks. This latter tendency proved quite troublesome to the Cornell team. In the Pitt game he more than held his man. Every opposing team steered as clear of him and his “boxing” gloves as possible. “Fat” had played on the Colgate squad before coming to Tech, and was therefore one of the more mature members of the squad. He successfully instilled fight in his teammates and at all times manifested the “old pep” in his own work. His one great failing on the trips was “kidding the Pullman Connies,” and he also had a peculiar liking for hiding in peculiar places. Jones has left Tech to do government work, and it is very doubtful if he will return for the next football season.

Although from the record of games lost and won, the season was not entirely successful, it may be classified as being decidedly so in consideration of the work done under great difficulties by Coach Scrugges and his men. Throughout its entire season the Reserves ran through the signals and plays of the prospective opponents of the Varsity and put these into use in the scrimmage practice. Thus when the time came for them to encounter the various prep schools, they were forced to use the plays of these other teams which they had never had the opportunity to polish up because of the weekly change of their attack. The strong Erie High “SPECK’’—Head C heer Leader School team was met on a very muddy field away from home, and although the team made a poor start, the Reserves came back during the last three quarters and more than held their heavier opponents. The Eric team triumphed by the score of 6 to 2. Kiski was met on Tech Field. The Reserves were completely outclassed in every respect, including weight, speed, and perfection of plays. They went down to defeat by the score of 41 to o. The Reserve defeated Slippery Rock Normal on the home field by the score of 12 to 7. Although the team was handicapped by having no definitely perfected attack, they came from behind and won by fast work. 'Flic men whose names appear below, who comprised this team, deserve n o little credit, for it was largely through their diligent efforts that Coach Steffen was able to develop the Varsity, and the fact that they played on the Reserves was largely due to their lack of weight, for t h e v surely manifested scrap and the Tech spirit throughout their season.

A team which had been for a whole season under the careful attention and tutelage of Coach McCulloch, and a string of subs which had proved to be only valuable assets, was nothing short of “wealth in store” for the present season. A bigger game had started and by the time of the first practice call it was found that all but three of last year’s squad were already playing prominent parts in this new big game. Mr. McCulloch early realized his losses, and with some of last year’s material, with some new material and with his natural and almost inexhaustible energy a n d good judgment, was quick to build up a fast and steady team with Abrams a n d Gretzler as his mainstays. This was no small task, and was accomplished only through the untiring efforts of Mr. McCulloch and the willing support of every man on the squad. Even during the Christmas recess the men appeared regularly for practice. Poo much credit can not be given 31st, with a 32-35 victory over Yale. The rest of the season was marked by ups and downs, with our boys, under the guidance of Captain Abrams, always showing the true spirit of light and clean play. Shortly after the opening of the season, Levinson, who was playing a stellar game at guard, was accepted into the Aviation Branch of the Service and left school to await call. The next hard blow came when Captain Abrams was accepted into the Aviation and received notice to appear in Texas on February 16th. As a result, he was lost to the team the day before starting on the Eastern trip, where his presence might have done much to help turn defeats into victories. His fast style of play and dribbling had featured in every game, and if he drops bombs as accurately as he shot fouls, L'ncle Sam has made a great find. Toward the end of the season Koefed quit school to accept a good position, and here again Mr. McCulloch had to make a guard to fill Koefed’s shoes, for the work of Koefed had proved a menace to many bright-looking forwards. At the departure of Abrams, Gretzler was unanimously elected captain of the team, and well did he deserve it. Gretzler’s noble work at center and his wonderful defensive play deserve no little praise. It is to be regretted that in one of the season’s games Gretzler was lost to the team because of sickness. [1911 The 1918 Thistle The brilliant work of Doherty, at forward, throughout the season will long be remembered. He is an all-around wide-awake player. Doherty will be lost to us this year through graduation. Cosgrove, Hoban, Williams, and Lynn deserve much credit for their excellent work. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach McCulloch for the excellent manner in which he built up a team from almost nothing, and then, too, for the way in which he overcame difficulties as they arose. Where a gap was to be filled and no one at hand to fill it, he would soon develop the missing cog and thus keep the machine always running. With every man on the squad at all times working with him, Mr. McCulloch turned out a team which kept all of its Edward Gret .i.f.r (During latter part of season) Louis I). Pitts S. II.

So all together now, and three long Carnegies for Mr. McCulloch! The season was brought to a most gratifying end by the victory of a team, shattered by enlistments and injuries, over the Pitt team. This game was characteristic of the spirit of the team throughout the season. The game was not won by superiority of speed, weight, size or experience; but by sheer grit and fight. Gretzler, Doherty, Hoban, and Cosgrove showed particularly in this game that they were men well worthy of maintaining the lech athletic traditions.

With the declaration of war on the part of the United States, there was that spontaneous patriotism shown by young men generally, and many flocked to the colors. Tech was not without her full quota of men responding to the call of the country; in fact, she did herself proud in the number of men leaving the school and enlisting. This resulted in a shrinkage in the number of candidates out for athletic teams. Track suffered as did the other branches of sport. The work of training was started early; and with a few old men around on whom to build a team, the spirit of encou ragem en t preva i led—t he possibility of a well-rounded team soon showed itself. Captain Adams in the weights had Ellerton as a worthy running-mate. J. D. Miller gave promise of developing into a capable performer. Haub was our only reliable high jumper, and Brem-mer the point winner in the broad. M. E. Smith, a newcomer, competed in the pole-vault and showed ability. T he $cld events as a whole were well taken care of. On the track there were bright prospects shown: Lingenfclser, Russel, Berry, Wcnning, Schmidt, H. D. Smith, all new men, gave promise of the desired result. Under the able direction of E. W. Steinmetz. Tech’s star sprinter of former years, the sprint squad rapidly developed. Guy Halferty, also a former Tech record man, assisted in the hurdles and gave the candidates for these events good coaching. The great handicap in the training was that of having to take the squad to the Schcnlcy Oval for a work-out, the track on our field not being in condition. A very good team was sent to the Penn Relays—which con- sisted of Wcnning, McCracken, Finlay. Dun-scith, and Schmidt as the substitute. A very pretty race was run—the team from Colgate nosing out our boys by a close margin, the inexperience of one man being largely responsible for the defeat. The first home event was that of the Press Handicaps, held on May 12th. Tech easily won this meet. The Pitt Intcrcollcgiales followed one week later, and our team left the field in third place —Penn State defeating Pitt by a margin of thirteen points. Bremmer was ahead of the field in the broad jump on this day. The Pitt dual was next in line, and resulted disastrously for us. Our boys appeared to be “up against the old jinx.” as their performance was away below par. In other words, they did not show to the best of their ability. On the day of the annual Interscholastics, the Varsity met the P. A. A. in a dual, Tech winning by a score of 73-53. Ellerton broke the school shot-put record when he heaved the shot 40 ft. 6 in. The closing meet of the season was with Mount Union at Alliance. The day was a miserable one for track-work, ai.J rain fell throughout the afternoon. Our boys, however, gave a splendid account of themselves and defeated the Mount Union team by a score of 95-39. This meet closed the active work of the team—however, quite a few of the members of the team remained in training and took part in meets held throughout the summer. From reports received. Tech held a place high in each meet, and much credit is due those who represented the School in the events. In closing, might it not be said that the entire squad deserves much credit for the work done and results achieved. The men often worked under great handicaps—due to lack of equipment and suitable conditions under which to train. [i93l The 1918 Thistle Cross-Country Team TH E Cross-Country’ Team which represented Tech during the fall of 1917 deserves a great amount of praise. The squad faced little incentive for a seige of training. The sport had been discontinued by practically all of the educational institutions of this part of the country, and little or no competition was in sight. The tentative schedule arranged for the team had to be necessarily given up, and upon the promise of those in charge that everything would be done in the way of securing competition the team went ahead with its work of preparation. The squad was not large, but it was a most willing one. Crosscountry running has its grip on Tech—the fact that the sport was so deep-rooted and that it should not be allowed to wane gave the boys a determination t o make the most of circumstances. Captain Ben ter, Kossler, Miller, and Juergens were the only' ones left of the team w h i c h represented Tech, in the fall of 1916. They had as coworkers a few of the old squad and quite a number of new men. The tryouts brought Fer-g u s o n, Living-stone, Bingham, and Mortenson into the limelight. The men worked faithfully, and it was not until the Juergens, Manager close of the season—in fact, hope had vanished—that any competition was booked. Cornell invited the team to come to Ithaca to run against them and a team from the University of Pennsylvania. Our boys did very well when all is considered. Third place was our lot, but we ran against the best and most experienced runners of the country. The result was pleasing to us. Frank Ey.man, Coach [195] Bentkr. Captain The 1918 Thistle Review of the Baseball Season THE baseball team was the first branch of athletics at Tech to really feel the effect of the war. A pretentious schedule had been arranged, but had to be changed considerably to meet the new athletic conditions caused by the war. However, a strong schedule was made up, and completed by t h e team. At first there w a s some doubt as to whether or not Tech would have a team. I11 the hysteria following the entry of our country into the war, many institutions felt it to be their duty to discontinue all athletics, deeming it unpatriotic to go on with these activities while the nation was engaged in such a struggle. This attitude was taken by quite a few schools and colleges, but the authorities in charge at Tech felt that it would be more patriotic to keep the students physically fit by athletics than to drop all such activities. That this plan was a good one was evidenced by the approval later of the government. It was not only in the matter of arranging a schedule that Tech was handicapped. 'The list of candidates was cut down by enlistments, several men who had been counted upon as Varsity men leaving school. Among them were kesner and Darlington, infielder and pitcher, respectively. The loss of Darlington was particularly felt, for the team’s weakness proved to be in the pitching staff. Some of the pitchers showed good work in a few games, but, as a whole, their work was disappointing. I’he team’s record consisted in 2 games won in 11 played. With regard to games won and lost, this is not an impressive one, but it is to the credit of the players that, they fought hard all the time, and that no opponents could hold them cheaply. One consoling fact is that 'Tech achieved its initial victory over State on State’s field. This victory came in the early part 0! the season, and gave rise to great hopes which were not realized. During the season, an Eastern trip was taken, Penn State, Lehigh, and Lafayette being played. Penn State was defeated in a close game, but Lehigh and Lafayette were winners in their games. Some fine baseball was shown on this trip, both by Tech and by their opponents. Harry Zehfuss captained the team, r 197] The 1918 Thistle and played his usual game as catcher. The pitching staff was composed of Osborne, Hird, Lyons, Darlington, and Warrick. Darlington was forced to leave school early in the year, having enlisted, so that he was lost the greater part of the year. Lyons was also lost after about half the games had been played. Osborne and Hird showed some good stuff, but were not consistent, Osborne being at his best during the Penn State game. Warrick was ineligible up till the last two games of the season, but in these games he pitched fine ball. The infield was composed of Withers at first base, Miller at second base, Doherty at short stop, and Cosgrove at third base. This combination played exceptionally well together, being the bulwark of defense of the team. More double plays were made by this quartet than by any other that Tech has had for years, five being made in the Grove City game, and four in the Pittsburgh Collegian game. Yeager, Gretzler, and Gano played in the outfield, and put up a good brand of ball. As a whole, the team hit well, and if they had been afforded a stronger brand of pitching, would have finished the season with a considerably improved record. The defense was good. If all the men who are expected back report, Tech should have a good team. There are only a few positions which would have to be filled. The war, however, makes it impossible to predict anything as a certainty. Quite a few schools have decided to eliminate inter-collegiate baseball, because of lack of support, or limited time, but it is assured that Tech will be represented by a team. One position in which Tech was exceptionally well fortified was that of the coach. Director McCulloch did well with the material and under the trying conditions of the times, and Tech has reason to know that baseball will be well taken care of with him in charge.

'The team had a fairly successful season, however. All of the matches were played on the home courts. Grove City was readily and decisively defeated on a cold and windy day. Under the favorable conditions of fast courts, warmth and clear skies, the strong team representing Penn State was held to a tie. Pitt defeated Tech 4 to 2 matches on the home courts in the final of the season. The team representing Tech was composed of four men, two of whom -Captain Toots Davis and Jack Beatty—were exponents of a fast, hard, driving game; the other two— Kossler and Steen—played a slower and less spectacular game, relying principally on placement shots. Manager Spring also played in the doubles of some of the matches. Captain Davis played a remarkably fine game all season, but was at his best in the Pitt match. His speed and accurate placing were probably the best ever exhibited on the old Tech courts, which are now a matter of Tech history. PERSONNEL OF TENNIS TEAM J. P. Davis, Captain R. W.

They started off with a loss, due, no doubt, to their inexperience, but the following week they defeated the same team, the Westinghouse Reserves, to a much worse score. 'The next game was lost to the Pitt Freshies, because Pitt’s floor was improperly marked. Had the foul-line been correct, Bieber might have had better success. The following two games, with Vandergrift High School and Cora-opolis, were both easy victories. After a week’s rest the Plebes took a trip up the Allegheny valley to play Kiski and Vandergrift. Kiski was beaten the first, half, but in the second they beat our boys out. Vandergrift succeeded in beating the Plebes only after two extra five-minute periods. The Plebes got their revenge the week after, when they defeated Kiski in the last ten seconds on our floor. Schenley High School was their last victim before they tackled the Pitt Freshmen. All indications point to a defeat for the visitors. Early in the season, Riblett and Captain Hamman played forward. Lynn jumped center, and Leet and Xichol were guards. Lynn was shifted to forward after a few games in Riblett’s place, and Bieber jumped center. When the Varsity took its trip to W-J and to the East, Lynn was taken along; so Riblett once more returned to the regular line-up. Just before the Plebes’ trip to Kiski, Bieber was declared ineligible; so Hamman went to center and Maurer became a regular guard. Leet and Hamman played on the Varsity towards the end of the season. Good then became a regular guard on the five, in place of Leet. We are indeed lucky that such a good Plebe team showed up, for the material in them is quite extraordinary. if he sticks to it, every man on the squad is sure to develop into a Varsity before he graduates. Hamman is already on the Varsity squad, and his showing has been more than pleasing to Coach McCulloch. Leet is also a member of the Varsity squad. He is placed at somewhat of a disadvantage by his s i z e, but what he lacks in tallness he makes up fully in his pep and fight. Lynn did play on the Varsity in the middle of the season, but towards the end returned to the Plebe squad. Some hard work will surely place him on the Varsity next year. In Maurer and Riblett we have excellent material for future forwards. Good and Nichol are excellent guards, and with a little experience will round out into real Varsity material.

Coach McCullough organized a league consisting of four fraternities and three dormitories. A schedule was arranged which lasted throughout the season. Delta Upsilon, Sigma Xu, Sigma Rho, Phi Epsilon Pi, East Dorm, South Dorm, and West Dorm comprised the league. Of these teams Delta Upsilon, Sigma Nu and East Dorm played especially fast games. As the end of the season approached, interest became centered upon Sigma Nu and Delta Upsilon. The championship was played between these two teams before many enthusiastic rooters. The game was the hardest and best played one of the season and was not decided until the last few minutes of play. By superior team work Delta Upsilom emerged from the game victorious. This is the second year that Delta Upsilon has held the fraternity championship. All the men and the fraternities showed the best of spirit and sportsmanship in all the games. Because of the evenness with which most of the teams were matched, the rivalry was very keen. President Hamerschlag offered a trophy to the victorious team.

Ruth Toberg Tennis ------ Lynda Lyman Swimming ... Anna McCandless Hockey ------ Emily King THE Association has many plans in operation for the present year to justify it as an Association of social, educational, and physical benefit to the school. The awarding of a beautiful pennant, with numerals to the champion hockey team, aroused much interest in athletics at the beginning of the year. This is a new innovation. The pennant, in a frame fully worthy of such honor, is hung in the Recreation Hall, and each year the numerals arc to be changed to those of the team which wins the right to have the old ones displaced. A similar pennant is to be awarded for basketball, and there is much enthusiasm displayed as to what numerals will be upon it. Another innovation is that of awarding a sterling silver pin for fifty points, whereas, formerly a girl could receive nothing unless she made her one hundred points, entitling her to a sweater. Xow she can win both a sweater and a pin. The Athletic Association held a most enjoyable dance at the beginning of the year. It contributed to the Guild Bazaar at Christmas time by doing folk dances, and is now busy preparing a May Festival which promises to be very successful. It also is making plans for a vaudeville show that will even surpass the one given by this organization last year. The Association hopes to discover the school tennis champion by a Spring Tournament, if the weather, unlike last year, will permit its being completed. [204] The 1918 Thistle M. M. C. S. Basketball THE basketball season of 1917-1918 did not open in earnest until after the Christmas holidays. 'Then there was quite a lot of enthusiasm shown, and a manager from each class was elected to organize class teams—with the following results: Miss Helen Senn - - Senior Manager Miss Maude Hainer - Junior Manager Miss Rhobie McClosky - Sophomore Manager Miss Mary Zahrobsky - Plebe Manager Several practice games were held, then it was decided to have a game between the Sophs and the Plebes and another between the Seniors and the Juniors. The winners in each case were to play a final game for the banner which is to be exhibited as a class trophy in the Recreation Hall of M.M.C.S. The championship game was played on Wednesday, April 17, 1918, in the gymnasium, between the Sophs and the Juniors. The Sophs won the banner. 1205] The 1918 Thistle M. M. C. S. SENIOR BASKETBALL M.

Field Hockey THE past season lias marked an epoch in the history of M.M.C.S. Athletics, in that it established field hockey as a permanent and popular sport. In previous years the game was rarely played, and then only to give the gymnasium classes an occasional out-of-door session. Last year, however, the Plebcs took it up as a sport and learned to play hockey as scientifically as the short season permitted. With the Sophomore class enthusiastic to renew the sport, and a promising number of Plebcs eager to learn it—not to mention the two coaches whose ‘ pcp” was infectious —this year’s hockey season could not but be spectacular. The number of girls, especially from the Plcbe class, who came out for practice, was a never-failing source of joy to the coaches, and a muddy field was never anything other than a minor consideration. The teams, which were chosen by the Coaches and Miss Emily King, Student Head of Hockey, elected for their captains Blanche Sheppard of the Sophomore class and Mrs. Spencer of the Plebc class. The first annual Sophomore-Plebc Game was played on Saturday morning, November 17th, 1917. The Sophomores had much the better team-work, but were held to a close score by the clever playing of the Plcbes, the final score being 3-1 in favor of the Sophomores. The following week, at the Student Assembly, Dean Breed presented Miss Sheppard, the Sophomore Captain, with the hard-fought-for pennant which now hangs in Recreation Hall and is a symbol of the Championship of the Class of 1920. [208] The 1918 Thistle Alumnae Association of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School For Women DURING the winter of 1917-18 the activities of the Alumnae Association of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie School for Women have been confined to relief work of some sort. The girls have brought their knitting to all the social events and each one has been, in reality, a “Knitting Tea.” In addition to the afternoons so spent, as many of the Association members as could do so have met in the School on Monday evening of each week to sew for the Red Cross.

To outline the many activities in which the Association has been interested would take up many pages. There are a few, however, which stand out prominently above all others and continue to hold the interest of our Alumni. 176 members crowded the English Room of the Fort Pitt Hotel on the occasion of our Annual Banquet in June. The members of the Senior Class were our guests. Here the 1917 graduates w ere introduced to the members of the Association and welcomed into the fold. A deep note of patriotism characterized this event. Stirring speeches were made by General Willis J. Hulings and Erasmus Wilson, the “Quiet Observer.” The presence of several Tech graduates in khaki gave the affair the martial spirit of the times. Considering the atmosphere of uncertainty that surrounds us in the present crisis, many enlisting, others overladen with war work, the graduates have responded most nobly to the support of the Association and the organization i s stronger, numerically and fraternally, than it was a year ago. Clans have been established in many of the large cities and re- centlv a Charter was granted to ten of our graduates who are in Washington, I). C., on government work. The secretaries extend a cordial invitation to all Tech men who have occasion to be in their districts. The Pittsburgh Clan holds a luncheon every two weeks. Up-to-the minute speakers entertain and an excellent opportunity is afforded the men to keep in touch with their classmates and graduates. J. C.' HOBBS. '10 President OFFICERS J. C.

The work of its Graduates renewed the rI'cch Spirit which this association has looked for. The Annual Banquet last June proved most successful both in regard to attendance and pleasure. At this Banquet the newly elected officers took up their duties. This year the monthly meetings were well attended and much progress was made both for the Graduates and for the School. The gigantic smoker held last April at the close of the school year surpassed all expectation. The 1917 Graduates were our guests on this occasion and the entertainment and refreshments were of a high order. This smoker proved to be a great success for the association. The Social Dinner and Dance held in January at the Hotel Schenlcy was well attended. Here many of the Tech men met again and a great time was enjoyed and the members arc looking forward to the Annual Banquet. As the end of another year draws near, bringing to us more Graduates, let the 1918 Graduates, filled with the Tech Spirit, give the best to make Tech and the Association what it should be.

Lienemann Alumni Federation FOR the past eight years attempts have been made to bring the Alumni of the four schools together to form an organization which would be representative of Tech. Prospects for such an organization arc particularly bright at the present time and a proposed constitution will soon be sub- mitted for approval of the various Associations. In this connection it is felt that: 1. The Alumni Magazine should be published by a body which is representative of C.I.T. instead of one or two schools. 2. The promotion and control of all alumni matters should be handled by one body. [212] The 1918 Thistle C. I. T. ALUMNUS THE “Alumnus” is the medium through which the Alumni of the Carnegie Institute of Technology are kept informed of the activities of their classmates and their Alma Mater. This paper was started five years ago by the Alumni Association of Applied Science and Design, but in later years the other schools of the Institute became identified with the publication, and at present it is edited by representatives elected by the Central Alumni Association. During the present school year the magazine has been published bi-monthly, and in larger volume. As an alumni paper it has been effective and rendered a patriotic service. The features that stand out in this year’s publications in contrast to other years arc: first, its section devoted to Government positions open to Alumni, giving information on positions for which Tech men can qualify; second, the section given over to Tech men in the service, published to give information as to the way in which many are serving Uncle Sam and doing their bit; the third new feature is the page devoted to a series of articles entitled Successful lech Alumni. Each issue contains a biography in miniature of a graduate who is making a mark for him or herself and C.I.T. It is the purpose of these articles to acquaint the Alumni with the factors leading to unusual achievement and to give Tech Graduates the recognition which they so richly deserve. The usual Alumni notes for the four schools have grown considerably. These items inform the graduates and former students of Tech where their classmates are and what they are doing. If a measure of the success of Tech graduates were to be taken from these lists the gauge would register a reading well above the average. Alumni clans use the “Alumus” as their official organ and each issue covers the activities of a Tech Clan in one or another of the centers, which are located in Akron, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, New Castle (Mahoning Shcnango Valley) New York City, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh. These arc all well established Clans, while Washington, D. C. has lately been granted a charter. 'Pile Pittsburgh Clan has biweekly luncheons at which prominent speakers present current subjects of interest. These affairs are arranged at a time and place most convenient for Clan members, and are a distinct benefit to those attending, as well as being enjoyable occasions of reunion. It appears from what has been said that the Alumnus has neglected the non-military phases of Alumni activities. Well perhaps it has, but only for the very good reason that the Alumni themselves have neglected such activities. However, such worthy subjects as Carnegie Day, “A Review of the Athletic Year at Tech”, the War Pageant, etc., have been passed on to the Alumni, thus giving them an account of what has been happening in and about the Campus. It is now planned to make the “Alumnus” more truly representative of the whole in stitution by submitting its editorial policy to a committeee from the Federation of C. I. T. Alumni Associations. The future of the publication is thus being preserved for all graduates. [20] The 1918 Thistle Carnegie Dormitory Association Officers 1917-18 EAST DORMITORY FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER F. C.

If it were only furnished and not so---------- dusty! Oh, I wish the annex were furnished and things were fixed up. Have you found a bed to pin your name on? Well, you’d better, because the girls are coming in mobs. Did you hear the latest? Dr. Esquerrc said that some of us would have to stay in the gym. I hope I’m not a victim—I do not want to stay here.” Amidst a flutter of excitement about 26 girls were transferred to the gym, where they heroically remained until the annex was finished and gave a very enjoyable farewell dance in the recreation hall. The majority of the girls had remained at the Hall and spent most of their time standing in line at “The Beanery” waiting for the camouflage of mother’s cooking. Then came the crucial day! The rooms were chosen at noon October 5. The furni- ture arrived in sections and Forbes Hall settled down to “normal family life.” The first social affair was a most unique Hallowe’en party given to the new girls by the upper classmen. The Interdorm Party was the next social event and at this the Forbes Hall Glee Club made its debut. December 14 there was a sound of revelry by night—the first house dance of the season. Sunday, December 16, on answering the summons to dinner, the girls were surprised by a real Christmas dinner, with candle lights and flowers, and school songs and carols between courses—as the Plcbcs expressed it, “just like one has read about in books.” After vacation came the agony of finals and lights burned late. But if it is true that history is the lens of the future, Forbes Hall will have a long and happy life. So “here endeth the first era”!

It be the thoid house down and it’s there where the charming loidcs live. Ivcry day they pass me on the way to school and always smiling.” “Thank you,” I interrupted, well knowing the loquacious nature of an Irish policeman. I counted three houses, turned in at the gate at the third and rang the door bell. My ring was answered at once by a smiling girl, who put me at ease, saying, “I will tell her you are here, won’t you wait in the living-room, please?” With that she left me and as I walked from the hall into a large home-like room. I heard voices of laughter, caught scraps of conversation, and heard hurrying footsteps. What a jolly house of girls was my thought. “Who can give me the fifth dance?” inquired a voice from some adjoining room. Hut before I could declare my willingness there was a replv of which I heard only, “Oh, wonderful !”' Just then the door-bell rang and several young men entered, were claimed by pretty girls in festive array and led away, but not before calling upstairs to be sure to have the “spread” ready on their return. Still another peal of the door-bell and the man that came to share my vigil was greeted by a happy-faced girl, who motioned him to a sear, by her side on the davenport before the lire and engaged him in what promised to be a quiet interesting conversation. Lucky Man! My reflections were broken by a question, “What three references in that book?” I looked up to sec three girls with notebooks, preparing to leave the house. Their destination was made evident to me when a voice from that mysterious upper floor called, “Please mail my letters on your way to the library.” Study, work and play, happy companionships, frivolity, studiousness, friendship—all had passed before me during my short and pleasant wait. What a lovely place for a girl to live! “Well, aren’t you even going to kiss me?” inquired a voice at my side, whereupon I complied with the request. Who am I? Why, I am the youngest plcbc’s elder brother. [218] The 1918 This t l e M. M. C. S. May Festival The Margaret Morrison May Festival will be held on the Mellon Hall lawn on the afternoon of May Seventeenth. Plans are well under way and there is no reason to think that the festival will not be a success, for it is going to be the best festival that we have ever had. The festival is being held under the auspices of the Athletic Association and only members of the association will take active part in it. Admission to the festival will be by ticket; tickets will be on sale sometime in the early part of May. Miss Florence Bechtel, of the present Senior class, was elected May Queen.

It aims to secure from the students at these technical and scientific schools the same class, scholastically, of men which is secured by Phi Beta Kappa in the classical schools and colleges. 'Those men who are in the upper one-eighth of their class, scholastically, after finishing the first semester of the Junior year and those who are in the .upper one-quarter of their class at the beginning of the Senior year are eligible for membership. But membership in Tau Beta Pi is not based entirely upon a consideration of the scholastic standing of the man. He must have displayed in a marked degree, in addition to his ability to get the required amount of work done, the ability to lead men. In short, he can not be what we commonly know as a grind, but rather he must be a man among men. To be such a leader in the activities or in the athletics of a sturdy student body and at the same time to be of high average in scholastic work deserves some mark of distinction. With this idea in mind the purpose of Tau Beta Pi may be stated: “to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by a high grade of scholarship as undergraduates, or by their attainments as alumni, and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the F.ngi-neering Schools of America.” The insignia of the association is a watch-key of gold, shaped like the bent of a trestle—the support of the structure. 'The Gamma Chapter of Pennsylvania, founded here at Carnegie during February, 1916, has consistently tried to do its part in the advancement of the idea of service to the Alma Mater, and now, after two years of continued growth, it is clearly apparent that the spirit of the association and an appreciation of what it means to be chosen a Tau Beta Pi man have become well founded in the student body. r 223] 'tfeoM.oOtfi mSf Association Oammft °f Permsplbarim 1918 sMMOK .

Its national charter was handed down on August 10, 1917. The objects of the fraternity are: first, to promote a higher scholastic standing among the student body; second, to furnish an incentive to the best efforts on the part of the graduates and undergraduates; third, to establish a general spirit of good-fel- lowship; and fourth, to advance industrial education. Alpha Tau is a new factor in industrial training, but it is hoped that it may come to mean to this branch of education what Phi Beta Kappa and Tau Beta Pi mean to their types of education. Both of these organizations had small beginnings and have come to stand for big things, so Alpha Tau may develop to a standing on a part with these older organizations.

The purpose of the society is to promote new ideas that would be of benefit to the Institution, and also to give recognition to those who have participated in student activities during their plcbc year. The Membership is limited to ten men, they being elected the latter part of their plebe year, and remaining active throughout their Sophomore year. They are chosen from the men who have achieved prominence in athletics, school activities, and scholarship. Active Members James E. GifTcn John L. Herrmann Grant C. Stone Edward G. Stoy W. F.

The formal organization of this body into the Interfraternity Council was accomplished in February of this year. The object of the Council is to bring the fraternities into a closer relationship with the Institution and the student-body, and to so direct fraternity activities that the results will be for the best interests of all concerned. It is hoped that the new Council will be the means of imparting to the student-body, knowledge of the character and objects of Tech fraternities; thus providing a better understanding of the part these organizations play in undergraduate life.

[287] HM InaBaii The 1918 Thistle The Installation of Military Tactics ON January Seventh, Ninteen-Eighteen, a decided change took place on the campus of Tech. 'This change so far as we can see is one for the better. It was a change from a student body of happy-go-lucky fellows to a body of men willing to serve their country in whatever way they could. It is not often that one man can easily change our school a s h e sees lit, but our hats are off to Major Hilliard Lyle, D. S. O., who carried us off our feet in his short talk to us on the above mentioned date. Within one month he had us in regulation uniforms and a division of the R.O.T.C., and we are not such a bad-looking battalion either. Then came Colonel John C. W. Brooks, as true an American as lives today. He and Major Lyle soon joined hands and started matters going in regard to equipment. The Government was induced to send us riHes and machine guns. The interest shown by these two men soon carried itself to the students. Now we have eight hundred students well drilled and well educated along military affairs, where three months ago we knew nothing of the big game—that is, the big game as it is played today. And as this book goes to press there are also the same eight hundred men eagerly waiting to go further. For we are to learn the game from all points. We will receive instruction in bombing, musketry, and trench warfare. Though this branch of training does not exempt a student from the draft, many boards have given the boys three and four months grace, so that they might become more proficient before going to camp. COLONEL J. C. W. BROOKS r [290] The 1918 Thistle Major Hilliard Lyle, D. S. O. [291] 1 mm The 1918 Thist i. e [292] h e 1918 This t l e Dedication of the Langley Laboratory of Aeronautics THK Langley Laboratory of Aeronautics was dedicated on the afternoon of April 2, 1918. The dedication ceremony was very befitting the nature of the laboratory. The principal speaker of the day was Doctor John A. Bra-shear, a great friend and co-worker of Professor Samuel P. Langley for whom the laboratory i s named. The dedication was carried out in true military style. Th° sneakers’ platform was reefed on rh lawn in front of the Design School. On either side of it were seats for the spectators. The enlisted m e 11 taking w a r courses at Tech were drawn up in platoon formation in front of one side of the stand and the Tech Student Battalion was drawn up in similar formation on the other, a wide lane separating them. Twenty men were picked from each of the five student companies. These men constituted the guard of honor which was stationed under arms alone the edge of the roof of the new building at short intervals. “Uncle John’s” talk was an historical sketch of Professor Lane-ley’s work on the heavier-than-air machine. 'The idea of the possibility of such a machine was brought to Professor Langley’s attention by a paper which was read before the American Society for the Ad-v a n c e m ent of Science. While the ideas presented in the article were not what might be called s t r ic 11 y scientific, they made such an impression on Professor Langley that he decided to follow them up. He succeeded in obtaining the money necessary to start his experiments from a prominent fellow Pittsburgher, William Thaw, grandfather of the now famous American aviator, Major William Thaw. With “Uncle John” as a helper, he started in on his great work. Another man who was closely associated with him in his work was [293] The 1918 Thistle W illiam Hartman who has since been associated with Tech. From small toys propelled by twisted strands of rubber, he progressed into larger models and finally made some gliders in which he succeeded in making several successful glides along the banks of the Potomac, for he had transferred his work from Pittsburgh to W ashington on account of his becoming connected with the Smithsonian Institute. But he was destined to stop in his efforts at this stage, for no engine then known was efficient enough to propel the machine which he designed. The press mercilessly ridiculed him and his apparently unsuccessful labor. Professor Langley always felt in his own heart that he was right and that all he needed was some better engine than was then known. He resented the attacks of the press very keenly and, as Doctor Brashear said, he died of a broken heart. That he was right was proved conclusively a few years ago when a very successful flight was made in the very machine Professor Langley had made, when equipped with a modern aero motor. Following Doctor Brashear, Mayor Babcock spoke briefly concerning the significance of the erection of such a laboratory here in Pittsburgh. He first dwelt on the speedy erection of the building—it was completed in twenty-three working days—by Pittsburgh contractors from materials produced in Pittsburgh. The significant [294] T h e 1918 Thistle part taken by Pittsburgh in the development of the aeroplane was strongly emphasized. Doctor Bra-shear and Professor Langley were both Pittsburghers as was also the man who financed their experiments, Mr. Thaw. It was in this city that the first work was carried on. The building of this laboratory here is, then, a splendid tribute to the part Pittsburgh has played in furthering the success of the science of flying. It is very fitting that the American soldiers should come to the pioneer city for their final instructions in aero motor construction and aeroplane rigging before leaving for that distant place known as “over there.” The actual words of dedication were spoken by Doctor Hamerschlag who then invited the public to inspect the building before it should be closed to all except the soldiers and their instructors. During Doctor Ham-erschlag’s talk two of the aeroplanes which are used for instruction purposes were wheeled up the lane between the enlisted men and the khaki-clad students. The motor in one of them was started and many members of the audience heard for the first time the tremendous roar of such an engine. The dedication ceremony was brought to a close by the Tech band’s playing “The Star Spangled Banner.” It was an impressive sight to see every one of the enlisted men and students spring to attention and the guard of honor come to present arms. Following the exercises, the enlisted men and students paraded on Woodlawn Avenue before the large crowd of spectators. ,y. M. [29s] T H E 1918 T H I S T I. K Senior Banquet THE Senior Banquet held on March 23rd marked the climax of all Senior activities this year. On account of war conditions it was impossible to hold the regular Ball, and everything was put into this last gathering of the class to make it the greatest of all banquets. The doors were barred to all outsiders. Even the entertainment provided exclusively for members of the class. In spite of some rather adverse conditions, Wally Wolfe generaled the program to a complete success. A terrific onslaught by the Musical Clubs two evenings previous, had totally disabled two of our speakers, Doherty and Turnock, and also the chairman of the committee, Arnold, so that they were not able to be with us. The Seniors are, however, always equal to any emergency, and the places of these men were ably filled by Soule, Lanice, and Pugh. J. T. Eaton, representing the Mechanicals and also the banquet committee, apologized for this Hard Luck. Roe Soule, of the Commercials, on the spur of the moment told us our entire history. Hurray! Pete Fulton, the Civil, cleared up that ancient mystery of “What is Resistance?” E. F. Lundcen, of the Metallurgists, described all the technical details of “Modern Bull Fighting.” Macy Sanice, chemist, pinch hitting for Turnock, gave us all except the dictionary definition of “Swank.” Hurray!

To the Initiation Committee: Gentlemen: In response to vour add on the Bulletin Board of the Zeta Lambda Epsilon, concerning the proof desired for the Honorable Plato’s statement, I most humbly beg to submit the following. I have given the matter grave consideration and feel that this proof cannot fail to be convincing to even the most uneducated person. Even a child can understand it. As I understand it, the sage Plato’s remark to the shoe shiner’s union was this: “Individuals domesticating in edifices of vitreous fragility, should not indulge in the trajectory of vitreous fragments.” If, now, we assume that the arc-cosine of a parabola, be substituted for the angle, whose external secant is an ellipse, we may immediately write our equation. It is d y .0000001732 d' L 3x10—1728 4 dx + 2 F equals d n d m4” dg .000000-----00 e + arc cos pv BUT Phis is plainly seen to be an oscillating, differential equation of the = 3rd order and 33rd degree. The integrating factor is at once evident by inspection to be P.D.Q. Multiplying by this we get an adiabatic expansion which short circuits the Petot tube giving rise to the axiom Supply = Demand (Reference Wolley Handbook p. 429) Hence letting x = supply y = demand x = y and therefore we get a more difficult equation since they are inter-changeable. Substituting this and remembering that the logarithmetic decrement of a variable root gives the curve of a Skew Bevel Paraboloid of concrete semi-axis, we obtain the fraction of the form of a nude woman, which is recognizable to most of us as improper. Hence, an improper fraction. Hence, since the assumptions taken have been proven beforehand, and no rule of mathematics or etiquette has been violated, we have our proof, namely without a come back. Therefore, “Any nut existing in a glass shack should not heave any dornicks.” Quod erat demonstrandum. Trusting that this proof is as clear to you as it is to the author, I wish to remain Yours truly, Clarence Earl Powell Patent on this proof applied for, and granted with certified statement for limit of nonsense.

Among other facts it proved the life of BYERS WROUGHT IRON PI PF mm I mm I 1 wm run weight guaranteed III mm in hot water mains and risers was approximately twice the life of the hest steel pipe obtainable. I11 hot water mains,the average life of wrought iron in 6f buildings was more than I f years compared with an average of only 7 years for steel. In hot water risers the life of both kinds of pipe was found to he longer hut the same ratio, two to one, in favor of wrought iron holds good. In cold water lines wrought iron was found to last as long as the average building. I11 34 of the buildings investigated, brass pipe was installed. In many cases it showed signs of corrosion within 6 to 8 years and was very badly pitted after 10 to 15 years. Bulletin No-30 also contains suggestions on howto lengthen life of hoi water piping, instructions on how to tell iron from steel pipe and other information of value to all pipe users.

Cut this highly cultured game. All this fine gentility Grows to be exceeding tame. What I want is low-brow love, Heavy, knock-down, cave-m a n stuff. I’m no cooing turtle dove. Treat me rough, kid, treat me rough! Can the soft and weepy sighs, Chop the meek and humble pose. I’m no cut-glass raffle prize, I’m no fragile little rose. Crab me with a python grip. If I struggle, call the bluff. Want my love? Then take the tip: Treat me rough, kid, treat me rough! I don’t want my cheek caressed With a nice, respectful peck. Yank me wildly to your chest-If I fight you, break my neck. Please don’t be a gentle dub, Spilling la-le-dah-ish guff.

Where is it—with a rug so green Our fellows often may be seen— Roth short and tall, fat and lean? Hm? Our Clubroom. Where is it—when exams are o’er— And our minds have yielded up their store, We then can go and relax once more? Hm? Our Clubroom. Where—when a stranger here we meet— We say—Come in and have a seat— For here’s a place that’s hard to beat? Hm? Our Clubroom.
