. . THE THISTLE COPYRIGHT, 1019 GILBERT C. CLARK, Editor-in-Chicf 1919 THE THISTLE FOREWORD IT is not our intention to deliver a formal salutatory, nor to tell how much better we could have made this book if we had it to do over again. We merely offer this It) 19 THISTLE to you with the hope that it may make you better acquainted with the students of “Tech” and that, on some later day, it will help you recall “them days at Tech” with more or less pleasant sensations. The Editors. 1919 THE THISTLE DEDICATION To the memory of the loyal sons of our Institute who willingly sacrificed their lives for their loved ones and their country, this, the 191!)

It is indeed a fact that these boys who gave their lives will be remembered at Tech as long as Tech is in existence, because they displayed the true American spirit—that spirit which ever rises when questions of war and human rights or problems that concern the national unity, dignity, and honor confront our people. To the families of these, our honored dead, who thus sacrificed their education, their careers, and their lives in the great struggle for freedom in the World—the Thistle extends the utmost sympathy. Every effort has been made to compile a complete list of those of our men who lost their lives while in the service of their country. And yet we realize that among the hundreds who have graduated from the Institute and who “served’' during the war, there must necessarily be a few who made the supreme sacrifice and whose names we have missed. They are in our thoughts and the memory of them is truly as sacred to us as of those whose records we have published.

Tf|lbT MM i 1919 d_________ THE THISTLE It’s a Matter of I labit THERE is nothing I should like better to present in 'I'lie Thistle” thisvear, under my new relationhip to the students as Dean of Men, than a very strong conviction that what is most needed at Carnegie today is a more general participation in the sports. Phe cry, “all out for something, is by no means new, but it is given a new angle and a new importance in the light of certain recent information which tells us that only seventeen percent of the college students of the country take part in athletics, and only thirty per cent of our young men were found physically fit for service in the army. For over a quarter of a century in America we have muddled along with intercollegiate contests in which the seventeen per cent who played didn't need the exercise and the eighty-three per cent who looked on did, and with the dreary gymnasium grind of pulling chest weights in bad air, and they have landed us nowhere. In all sincerity, do we not owe it to ourselves to try something different? And is there any prospect of more promise, behind which we could all put our shoulders with a fair chance of success, than just this simple and natural plan of moderate, easily available, and inexpensive exercise for the whole college community? What form it should take competitive group games or individual recreation- is of little consequence; the essential things to secure are fine standards of sportsmanship and sound health through real play. It would require, most assuredly, far more facilities than we have at present to handle adequately a program of this type, but unless I am very much mistaken, I think the administration would welcome an opportunity to be co-operative in such a movement, if a genuine and wide-spread demand for it arose from the student-body. Sooner or later it will come in this country, as it has in England. A score of college eights on the river, and other scores of football and hockey teams on the playing fields, is the regular afternoon picture at Oxford and Cambridge, regardless of the weather. It isn't a matter of climate, for Britain’s brand is confessedly of the worst; it's a matter of habit. Those of us who have failed to acquire it have sad knowledge of the fact. I can think of no venture better worth the investment of a student's time and the institution’s resources than just this project, and I can imagine no undertaking more likely to bring in its wake such a host of beneficial results—better scholastic work, better morale, class and college spirit, more contacts for friendships, and a foundation for right habits of living which would last through the years. A. W. Takbbll. Dean Tar bell 1919 7 3SR] I 40 ] To Tiib Thisti.k: I feel honored by the invitation to write a few words for the “Thistle. Although I have been here but a short time and have had only a few opportunities of coming into contact with the student-body, I have felt the unusual spirit of sincerity and manly effort which pervades this Institution. It is a privilege to have a share in the educational work of our country at the present time. It is a special privilege to have a share in the work of this Institution, whose purposes and ideals are thoroughly American and whose accomplishments will be particularly helpful in these days of change. My message through the “Thistle” to the student-body is one of congratulation that the men of Carnegie Institute of Technology have the opportunity of helping in the development of this great Institution; of congratulation that they arc receiving their preparation for life at a time when high ideals of scholarship and patriotism arc especially necessary; of congratulation at what I am sure Carnegie men will be able to accomplish because of their character and because of their preparation, in helping to set straight some of the difficult things which now claim the attention of thinking men. Very sincerely yours, Thomas S. Bakkh. 1919 THE THISTLE Tech in the Reconstruction Period ALTER tlic great war comes the reconstruction period, which is probably even more difficult than the period of preparation. The great industries must change their systems and methods of manufacture. Shell and gun-making machinery must be got rid of and new machinery installed for the manufacture of the instruments of peace. Millions of men must be taken out of the army and fitted back into their civil billets; millions of women who have filled the places of these men must either be persuaded to return to their homes or be found new posts in the industries. Not only has the industrial world been whirled about and disorganized in the maelstrom of war. but the quiet college and university world has been equally disturbed. Young men have left their books and courses half finished to join the colors to fight for America. Some who were in the midst of a promising school career have been absent from their books two, three, and four years. During this time they have forgotten much, they have become strangely excited, they have lived a very intense life and on return they find the life of books and the classroom rather dull and tiresome. When I was in France with the Canadians it gave me the greatest joy and encouragement to receive letters from Tech that carried the echoing tramp of thousands of Tech students, that told me that Tech had been turned into an officers' training school to provide the best material for the American army. Very often when tired, discouraged and worn out, the thought that hundreds of young Tech men. splendidly equipped, were coming every day nearer to our assistance was the greatest cheer and encouragement. Tech has done splendidly in the war. I do not believe that there is any institution that can boast of a better record or a finer patriotic service. There was no half-heartedness about our war efforts. Let there be no half-heartedness on the part of any of us, either students or faculty, in this great reconstruction period. If every effort of every loyal Tech man is bent in the right and true direction. Lech will rise from the reconstruction period a greater and stronger school than when she threw herself with such whole-hearted devotion into tin war. Fkank P. Day. dip,- 1919 THE THISTLE ALAN MUCIIT. It «islrar To the Thistle SIXTH the last issue of the “Thistle” was published. Tech has passed through a strenuous period in her history. Many unexpected visitors came to our class-rooms and laboratories, as registered soldiers in the S.A.T. and as enlisted men in the Training Detachments. Many of these men in uniform came from districts not previously represented in our student enrollment. When the Army units were discharged, a large percentage of these men remained with us to continue their training in civilian courses. During the Fall Quarter, the following classifications of soldiers were on the campus: S. A. T. C. Collegiate Section........................... 1,126 S. A. T. C. Vocational Section............................ 71)0 Air Service School for Radio Mechanics..................... 800 Ordnance Corps Men......................................... -30 Officers.................................................... 75 Naval Unit................................................. 166 U.

The paralyzing effect of the influenza epidemic has also contributed toward the reduction of our attendance. Inquiries for next fall are reaching us from all parts of the world. Discharged soldiers, many of whom had no intention of entering college before the war, are applying for admission in September. Carnegie will be called upon to bear her share in the big program of scientific reconstruction that is before us. Alan Bright. 1919 THE THISTLE HAUL H.

A year ago our duty was plain enough and Tech, backed by her sons and daughters, students and alumni alike, was addressing herself to the one paramount duty—that of dedicating every ounce of energy and every penny of her resources to the service of our country in the great struggle for humanity and civilization. The return of peace and the necessity of reconstructing our shattered scholastic program have presented problems as numerous and perplexing as those of war time. The passing of the Students' Army Training Corps drew no tears from our eyes, but it has left a mixed heritage of good and evil. Tech will never again revert to the same conditions as existed before we entered the war. Students, alumni, and faculty all realize as never before that we are but parts of one great organization. Let us make sure that the fiery trial through which Tech has passed has consumed whatever dross of prejudice and selfishness may have hindered our progress in the past and may we take up the task of reconstructing our activities, those which have lain dormant and those which have changed, in a spirit of mutual helpfulness and with unity of purpose, to the end that the Carnegie Institute of Technology may retain and strengthen that wonderful hold which she has upon all who enter her halls. Tech has a great future and the Thistle will render a distinct service to I he students and alumni of the future by giving a full and faithful record of the events of such an important transition year as that through which we have just passed.

Notwithstanding most disturbing interruptions and during the greatest war in history we have succeeded in keeping an Art School open and have carried on the work in a fairly normal manner. Our name has been changed, but our good traditions and policies will be preserved. What those traditions and policies are and what we do in this school should be better understood by the public. Now more than ever we need an enthusiastic alumni and an active student body to spread abroad the fame of the Division of the Arts. Our alumni in time should have a strong influence in determining the policy of this Institution. Will you do your share to bring this about? Our heartiest greetings go to you who are about to graduate. When you planned your education in the simple, peaceful days before the war, that now seem far away, you had little idea of what trials, tests, and opportunities were in store for you. You had a taste of academic life and of technical work and then suddenly you were called upon to dedicate all that was best in you to the greatest job this nation has undertaken. You have had experiences that your predecessors and followers will always envy you. With the meaning of life deepened and broadened you go forth unusually prepared. The world needs men and women who have been tested and whose technical training has fitted them to help in solving the problems of today, (beat will be the demand made on our graduates and on our students in the coming years to make up for the losses art has suffered. May they take their place at the front and bring credit to themselves and their Alma Mater. E. It. Bossaxgk, Dr an. of I lie Division of the A rts.

Because of his exceptional knowledge of technical education he was made a member of the committee which outlined the plans from which has grown the Carnegie Institute of Technology of today. Rising from the ranks of industrial workers and knowing every step necessary in (raining for the industries, he gave valuable service in coordinating the theory of Ihe classroom with the practical work of the shops. Ilis capabilities were recognized by his appointment as Dean of the School of Applied Industries, and under his guidance this school has developed to a point unsurpassed by any other school of its type in the United States. Ilis congenial personality and his unswerving faith in humanity have endeared him |o the hearts of Ihe students, faculty, and alumni. Ilis over-ready sympathy and words of cheer helped many unfortunates over rough spots in their careers. Though the presence of our respected Dean, our friend, has been lost to us, his spirit still reigns in Industries. In the new and greater field he has entered we wish him the greatest success, health, and prosperity. 1919 9 THE THISTLE To the Readers of the Thistle: ll is my earnest wish in this annual greeting perhaps the last in my present capacity— that you share in the honor which has come to Tech in the appointment of one of its administrative staff to a place in the cabinet of the Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. That'such distinction should be accorded me must be due largely to my having lived and worked in an environment that brings out of one the best he l as. I feel, therefore, that to Tech men and to Tech spirit the real glory belongs and this fact spurs me on to be worthy of the new trust as Commissioner of Labor and Industry of this great Commonwealth, for which President Hamerschlag and the Board of Trustees have granted a leave of absence. It is not an easy matter to break away from the interests to which one has dedicated his efforts and strength for so'many years. It was my privilege to have been associated with the Carnegie Institute of Technology from the time that it was still in the dream-state of its founder, before it existed even on paper, and to have had an humble share in bringing it to the present state of completion. The load was often very heavy, especially as it fell to my lot to work out a program of education which defied almost every tradition of educational procedure. Doubtless many mistakes were made, but there is a real sense of satisfaction in knowing that many men who otherwise would have forfeited the opportunity of securing an education, are now numbered among those who proudly call this institution their Alma Mater. As a parting word, I can speak only in terms of the highest appreciation of the spirit of co-operation shown me by the President, the various administrative officers, the members of the faculties, the alumni, and the students. It makes me happy to feel that in accepting this new trust I need not break with these associations nor sever entirely my connection with this Institution. It is my hope that in serving the cause of labor and industry in the state, I may be able to contribute something further to the cause for which the Carnegie Institute was founded. Itesj cct fully subm itied, Clifford B. Connklley, Dean of the Division of Industries. 2 S 1919 THE THISTLE DEPARTMENT OF PRINTING I lurry L. Gage Craig R. Spichcr John C. Marlin John T.

M. C. C. WK were many when we entered school in 1915; also we were young and fresh and green. Therefore, our well wishers, the Sophs, did their best to help us become wise and hardened “Maggie Murplis.” They were as well-intentioned as are the usual Sophomore classes, although we did not realize it then. We obeyed them docilely and wore green ribbons, forgot any vanity we might have had as to hair-dressing, and had numerous other restrictions imposed upon us. Then we started up the Royal Road of Learning. It has not been smooth, but nothing could daunt our eagerness for knowledge,and so we have gone on and on..sometimes thinking it never would end. In our Junior year our country was at war. It was time for grave thought and efficient works, so we refrained from eating sugar, made bandages, sheets, and all sorts of garments, sold bonds, bought bonds, adopted French orphans, and did all manner of war work.” We are still buying and selling bonds and supporting French orphans. Now we are about to leave all this activity in school for other activities in other places. Rut no matter where we are or what we do, we will always look back upon our days at M. M. ( ’.

When we first came here there was so many of us and we rode the Sophs so hard that we had to wear speshul hats to keep us from hurtin’ each other instead of them. But the next year we made the Plebcs buy hats so we could tell them. When we was Juniors we cummenced to come out into swell society. Bach of the frats owned some of those undertakers suits so we had a Junior Prom. Remember the swell time we had and how we had to sit in the parlor nights and talk for over two months till 1 got my suit paid for. And then war was declared and you remember how I was drillin’ right away, in fact we all was drillin’. An pretty soon we was an officers’ Training Corpse (that aint dead like it sounds, a Corpse is part of the Army, but that’s too technical for you, Mablc). We learned so much that when we came back this year we was taken into the regular army and had real guns that would work when you pulled the trigger. I guess the Germans must a heard we was training (nobody kept it secret at all) because pretty soon they stopped fight in and we went back to school. We got so used to training that we just can’t quit, but we only take P. T. now (that aint military though; they told us so). We don’t have to think no more, not even about the weather but its awful discouragin’, tho, to walk clean down to school some morning and • see a red flag up which means that it was raining all the time you was walking down.

We were fresh and ignorant typical Plebes. During the first few days the importance and maintenance of school traditions were enforced upon us in a very efiectivc manner. Those who survived started in with vigor to become a part of the school. Ill the Kali of It) 1(5 we returned with a more determined spirit to pursue our studies. The most important social event of this year was the Soph Hop. Then war was declared and our boys, true to their ideals, were willing to sacrifice their education for their love of country, and by June barely half the class remained. We entered our third year with but a handful of what was originally the (Mass of 1J) 1 i); but we made up in spirit what we lacked in numbers. The feature of this year was the Prom, held by Science and Design on February 21st, at the Rittcnhousc. which was undoubtedly the best ever held. 'The introduction of military drill was another feature which caused great delight (?). Our last year was rather broken up by the “Flu epidemic and quarantine; but November found us at work again and since the armistice has been signed, many of our boys are back to graduate with us. Our class has furnished valuable material for the various activities of the school and has given much to the support of our Alma Mater. F. A.

The only time he is quiet is when he is asleep, which isn’t often, for his visits to a certain fair Maggie Murpli have been numerous and famous. Graham entered Industries with a noble ambition to some day enlighten the machine construction field. After toiling in the machine shop by day and after being a privileged character at Mellon Hall by night, he will undoubtedly come across with some startling discovery that will make New Castle famous. 1919 HX THE THISTLE Industries Upper Class History THE history of the Upper Class of the School of Applied Industries is a record of vicissitudes. Three years ago with the verdancy of youth and high hopes we entered Tech— one hundred ninety-five strong. Time and chance which happeneth unto all things, and especially unto educational institutions in the years that have passed of stress and struggle, reduced our ranks until one year after the inception of this country into the Great War we numbered just thirty-six. This year the class has seventeen men who will finish the courses for which they entered three years ago. The class has been active in every department of the school’s work. Socially and academically we have given a good account of ourselves—at least so we are informed. In things militaristic the records of the Class of 1919 will show that it has shed luster on the name of Good Old Tech. Otherwise we have nothing especial to note. We have not attempted to set the river on fire; rather we have sat tight and as needed, sawed wood. We have no apologies to make for our smallness in number—the calls of duty have been many and have not gone unanswered. With depleted ranks, but with indomitable courage and high hope, we face the future, proud of what Tech has done for us, grateful for its associations, its friendships, its opportunities, and confident that with the passing of the years the name and fame of our Alma Mater shall not be dimmed. 1919 the thistle ISM Paul Henry Armor, “P.

FRRSHMEX always have the most pep!’ It’s true—they do, and we did when we were Freshmen. We entered into the life at Margaret Morrison with a newspirit— that of being alive and awake every minute, ready to take our own part. We were successful, too—so successful that the Sophomores began to think that we had a little more pep than they could handle! We tried to be good sports and live up to the Plebc regulations until Qualification Day when we banded together and helped make, as the upper chiss-men called it, “the liveliest Qualification Day in the history of the school. After our display of class spirit, combined with good will toward our oppressors, the Sophs, we considered ourselves capable of taking care of the under-classmen the next year and vowed that we would never be as “heartless” with them as we thought the Sophs had been with us. Now we are Sophomores and have tried to keep that spirit of good sportsmanship and good feeling toward our inferiors this year, the Freshmen. We were beginning to teach them their places in the school, how to stand aside for upper-classmen, which stairs to use, and to regard their arm bands as a part of themselves, when the flu sent us all home for five weeks. Since that, Freshmen have been rather neglected and more important things such as teas and dances have taken their place. Our honorary class member. Dr. Julia Harrison, was entertained at a tea, the Plebes were given a dance, and the Soph Hop was an event never to be forgotten. Freshmen always do have the most pep; but they can keep it as we have done and as we always intend to do---- “Keep up our pep. Keep the Plebes in step.

What one of us. going as inconspicuously as possible about her lowly affairs, has not been greeted by this taunting cry from some superior Sophomore? It is a phrase we will never forget, as we will never forget the black cotton hose, the left hand stairway, or the state of starved submission in which we often waited until twelve-fifty for lunch—and then to find that the ice cream (beloved of all IMcbes) was conspicuous by its absence! On September twenty-seventh a crowd of shy, embarrassed prep and high schoolgirls timidly endorsed their checks and signed up at the Union, each one imagining herself flic cynosure of all eyes, and positive that everyone knew her to be a stranger. For awhile we were unmolested. Then one never to be forgotten day, our hair in electric curlers, our feet in bedroom slippers, and our spirits in a proper state of humility, we were herded by the Sophomores, and directed to do all manner of undignified stunts before an unfeeling audience of upper-classmen. But we survived all this and gave a fairly good account of ourselves. In November we elected officers, and on January tenth gave our first dance. Then came a time of storm and stress, in which we burned the midnight oil and studied as we had never done before. But the “exams’ at last were over and we could look forward to other things. And now the days, both dark and bright, of our Plcbc year are nearly over, and we are enthusiastically looking forward to the time when, as Sophomores, wo will assume new duties and make miserable the lives of the IMcbes of the class of 43.

This little lamb was made the butt of many a harmless joke in the first few days,during the reign of Sophomorism. However, it became quite stable on its feet by the time of the field day with the Sophomores. In fact, it all but accomplished the impossible, when it nearly defeated the well organized Sophs at this ever-rcsulting-tlie-same annual event. Later in the year some of its fleecy wool was sheared and dyed by the cruel and unjust Sophomores. The biggest event in our Plebe year was our banquet. The “bold Sophs, after obtaining permission from the Dean, kidnapped our president the night before the banquet. They admit themselves that we gave them the hottest kind of a pursuit all over Clarion County. The event wound up like the climax of a seven-reel special. Our president, after escaping, finally, from his captors, rode on the tender oF a locomotive to town and arrived at the banquet just in time to tip off the evening and make it a grand and glorious success, much to the disgust of the outwitted Sophs. Our predecessors, after a time, recovered enough from this squelching to put their banner up on the campus on a well greased flag pole. The Plebcs, however, organized and by using some ol their already developing engineering skill soon had the banner down and were tearing it and its defenders to shreds, but at the personally delivered request of Dean Lcctc, who was called to the scene by the fearing Sophs, we refrained from further chastisement. Many of the Plebes are still holding souvenirs of the Sophomores' banner. B.v this time a large portion of our class had been “Gccklerinated (flunked out), but we finished the year with about one-half of our original number. ooSa: 1919 ___ l no J SCIENCE JUNIOR CLASS On January 1, 1010, tin remnants of our class again assembled under our old classification and were soon well organized and developing the old time pep. Our old members kept coming back one at a time until we were soon back to about our normal strength. Of course the big event of this year is the Prom. All Proms are good, but this one was different. Practically the entire class turned out to enjoy a physical expression of an appreciation of rhythm. The feature of the evening was the supersyneopating, “Giffenating, jazz orchestra. But this class, like the month of March, that came in as the gentle, innocent lamb, has already assumed the aspect of the lion.

Each Plebe wore a curiously shaped hat. The snakelike line was guarded by the cruel Sophomores with their terrible paddles. After three days of arduous toil and drill a conditional armistice was signed. Early in November a smoker was held in order that we might become ac quainted with the Faculty and Seniors. In December, in spite of Sophomore opposition, a most successful banquet was held at “The Pines. At the end of January mid-year examinations were held, and although there were many casualties, the class lost none of its spirit. The Plebe dance was held in the spring in the face of almost continuous drill. Late in the year Qualification Day arrived and then the class became a full fledged member of the Carnegie Clan. After a trying period of summer work and S. A. T. C. and for some, real army life, the Class of 1921 came back in January, strong in numbers and pep. After a few days of marching skittish young Freshmen in the snow and finding tasks for them to perform, it set tled down to the routine of class work. In March a most successful banquet was held and when some Freshmen tried to raid it they were forcibly invited to stay and watch us cat. Later the Plebes retaliated by having Sophs as their guests at their own banquet. Early in April the Soph Hop was held and was a grand success. The (’lass of 21, having made a name for itself, as a whole and as individuals, in all activities in which it could participate, will strive to keep up its claim to honor in future events. J. K. W.

Too much quarantine, squads right, and evaporated milk dampened the ardors of those who desired to enter Tech, and at the completion of their course in infantry, quite a number of the would-be Plebes did not return. Then came the organization of the class. The Plebes began to get acquainted with each other. But this process of knowing “who was who and why” was a slow one. They were not able to show how much pep they had until those Plebe caps arrived. Then they just naturally bubbled over with enthusiasm and hula-hulaed all over the campus and tied up traffic in Oakland for a few hours. Then came that grand old banquet at the Lincoln Club. It seemed peculiar that the Sophomores with their carefully laid plans were not able to abduct the Plebe president for this affair. All this while the Plebes were fully aware of the fact of the work that it required to secure those greatly desired “C’s.

We Design School Juniors have arrived at that stage of the game. The trying first year was well terminated. Our initiation was complete and sad to contemplate, but we survived it in spite of the efforts of the Sophomore class. The following year, when it was our turn to administer necessary justice to the well-meaning but misguided Plebes, we boasted of the most convicting of courts and the most well used of sinks. Then came a temporary disbanding of the class while we went to war, serving the Government in one way or another. But now that is past and we have become reunited again to carry on work, free from the inconveniences of class feuds and the discussion of war, a little more serious and a little more determined to give our best efforts and to get the most out of our life here at Tech.

We wore the hats and carried matches; when our spirits rose too high we felt the cooling waters of the sink. After our reception l v the Sophomores, the Dean gave us one of a more agreeable sort. At the Dean's reception we enjoyed the hospitality of the Dean and the Faculty and showed off our various talents in sketches, dances, and music. We returned this reception with a dance which we tried to make as interesting as possible with stunts, refreshments, and good music. lie fore the year had advanced very far, the Sophomores offered us self-government, which we refused on the grounds that if the Sophomores did not want us to enjoy smoking and talking to girls, it was up to them to prevent us. Accordingly, the Sophomores retained their control over us and kept us well underhand until “Qualification Day, when we became members of the Carnegie Clan. On January 1st of this year when school began again on a pre-war basis, we found that our class had greatly diminished in numbers. We came out of the gloom of the war-darkened months a mere handful. However, we immediately summoned our forces and organized. We are now trying to carry on with the ante-bellum enthusiasm that was almost lost. We are trying also to show our Freshmen the real school spirit, and they in return arc showing themselves np to be good sports and able to assume the duties of Sophomores next year.

We made our debut into the social life of the school at a Wednesday afternoon “get-acquainted dance, when we were made known to our fellow students, who ever since have wondered how they had endured life without us. Shortly after this, we, always full of pep. gave our worthy elders a “Reg’lar Dance. Class spirit—“that's us all over.

Of the one hundred and thirty-seven Freshmen that first arrived only sixty-seven went oft to return the next year as Middlemen; but were they strolling- no—rather were they walking as prescribed by Major Hillard Lyle. D.S.O., in General Order No. 2, for General Crowder was beckoning to some of them and the rest were hurrying to enlist lest he beckon for them also. Indeed, the Middle Class for 11)11) appeared as a phantom, and indications pointed that it would be some time before we could once again assemble, not as Freshmen, but as Middlemen. hen. at last, the war did end and we entered school as a class, three months behind the regular schedule, and renewed old acquaintances, many old familiar faces were missing: and those of us who did return showed signs of having eaten army stews or of having served our country in some direct way. Truly, matters did not appear promising for us if we could have been judged by numbers. However, what we lacked in numbers we more than overbalanced in spirit, and to attest ask any Freshman who objected to being initiated without a hat or coat on out-of-doors in the middle of January. In contrast with last year no big drives for war funds appeared and no chance to distinguish ourselves, as have previous Midtile Classes done, afforded itself, but we were contented to bring up the yearlings entrusted to our care, in the true Carnegie way. Faking all things into consideration it truly can be said of our class that wo were one of the best spirited, most loyal, and every single fellow a true Carnegie Clansman, always looking for the betterment of Dear Old Tech, and with a profound feeling of indebtedness and respect for him who made it possible for us to be passing through one of life's greatest experiences.

Almost immediately the S. A. T. C. was mustered out and we departed for home, had a square meal and slept until noon. Hardly were we settled in the big arm chair of civil life—back from those horrors of war when a summons appeared from Mr. Alan Bright, for further Tech duty. We eagerly repac ked and reappeared with our knapsacks ready for enlistment into the future Industrial Army, and so here heginneth the real history of the '21 Class December -29. 1918. We were small in number but large in anticipation. The march lasted merely a day when the Military Police, more commonly called “Sophs,” took advantage of our “Itookeyism” and assembled us in the Assembly, where rule after rule was laid down and torture unheard of prescribed for non-observance. We thought we were through with squads right and squads left, but after our citizen's uniform was redesigned we were formed in Indian file, then using the Sing Sing lock-step, we walked into a day that never will lx forgotten. As time went on the tyrannic al Sophs repented and gave us a smoker and many of us chased homesickness away that night by smoking our first Pittsburgh stogie. Through keen appreciation we voted, even though we had to be in mourning all the time, that the Sophomores weren't such a bad crowd after all, so an unrivalled dance was tendered in their honor. Putting all together the secretly planned and secretly staged, dinners, banquet and picnic with the dance and Qualification Day activities, combined with the returns from the class room, laboratory and shops, we have had a very successful Plcbe year, which will forever remain fresh in our memory. Next year we are coming back as commissioned officers to preserve law, order, and the traditions of Dear Old Tech.” Our torture was short-lived, but woe be it unto the Plcbcs of next year. w l- 128 ] 1919 LOWER CLASS OFFICERS August W.

About two years ago, a number of Alumni Officers recognized the fact that, due to the lack of just such an organization, their work was suffering—and so, under the leadership of Mr. II. J. McCorkle, arrangements were made for a preliminary peace conference, at which the four schools were represented, the purpose of this conference being to open discussion of various problems, and if deemed desirable, the organizing of a Federation or League of Alumni Associations. A number of meetings were held, and work was even started on a tentative constitution and by-laws for such a Federation, but the work was greatly hampered by the failure of the empowered representatives to attend these sessions consistently. The result was that this work was still unfinished when Mr. McCorkle enlisted and left for duty. Then followed a period of re-organization, during which Mr. J. I Tumpane and later Mr. J. C. Hobbs attempted to overcome the difficulty by having enough representatives appointed from each school to make sure that at least one of them would be present at the committee meetings. However, even a number of representatives from each school did not insure a quorum, when bayonets with real soldiers behind them wore ordered by I nolo Sam to enforce the quarantine at Tech against the ■‘Flu. ’ Some of the committee members preferred to be “shot”—but even they took the “Flu.” After many other difficulties too numerous to mention an organization was finally effected on January 21, 101!), when, under a constitution and by-laws which had been ratified by each of the four schools, the official representatives constituting the Board of Directors met, and consummated the organization of the Federation by the election of officers. 1919 i ( 138 1 THE THISTLE Alumni Federation OFFICERS It.

Practically all of the graduates arc men who were either enlisted in some form of Government service, or work essential to the war program, so that they have been tremendously busy, during the past two years. It was difficult to put into effect the plans proposed by the officers of the Association because of the unsettled conditions incident to the war. 'Plie Board meetings, during the past winter, have been devoted largely to a discussion of the Alumni Federation, its Constitution and By-Laws, which have since been adopted by all the Alumni Associations. This spring the graduates approached the Dean of the Division of Science and Engineering with the suggestion that an Alumni Committee be appointed to present to him a detailed constructive report of the curriculum of the various Engineering Courses, from the point of view of the Alumni. This suggestion was welcomed by the Dean and Faculty, and committees, consisting of five or more graduates have been appointed from each department. A consolidated report will be presented to the Dean not later than June 1. The Alumni Clan Organizations have become somewhat disorganized by interest in the War Program and movement of the graduates to other cities, but before next fall, it is hoped a strong organization can be perfected in various cities, 'die usual Tech lunches have not been held as frequently as usual, but will be resumed this spring. The Alumni office has been reorganized and steps will be taken at once to revive the splendid work that was being done two years ago. K. S. Hkxxixg, 1(� I). A. Casey, ’09 7 AS 1919 ! H0 1 THE THISTLE Design School Alumni It will lx recalled that in 11)17, just a little before Commencement time, the Design School formed an Alumni body separating from the Science Alumni, believing that its graduates were sufficient in number and interested enough in its own school to support a separate organization, but before a year had passed and before its organization had been perfected, the call to war came and many of our number were called into active service and others into home service made necessary by the war. Early this year it became necessary to call a meeting of our Alumni, as many as could lx reached, to ratify the constitution and by-laws of the General Federated Alumni and name some from our school to represent it on the General Hoard. A small number responded to the call and passed upon such business as required immediate attention. We found that we were without officers; so a committee was appointed, consisting of three members who were elected to serve upon the General Hoard, and one other, our representative upon the Publication Committee of “The Alumnus,” who should have the power to transact such business as was necessary until a reorganization could lx effected. 'Phis Committee have been working upon some plans and hope to call a general meeting of all graduates in the very near future. We hope with the return of many, Alumni activities will have a new incentive and we look to the future with a big vision. H. G.

WuNDKKLICK, ’IS During the period in which the I'nitcd States was actively engaged in the war, little was undertaken toward promoting the various activities of the Association since it was decided that nothing could be accomplished with everyone doing his utmost to help bring tl e strife to a victorious end. The officers of the Association realizing the conditions, decided it would be best to take advantage of the unsettledness by preparing for the time when conditions would subside to their pre-war basis. That time having presented itself shortly following the signing of “The Armistice,” the program prepared by the officers was at once presented to the members in a material form. The program was for affairs of a social nature, such as monthly swimming parties, which were held in the Pittsburgh Natatorium, a dance and a dinner followed by a general good time, and so on. To date, these gatherings have materialized, others are still to come, and the close of the year will bring the Annual Banquet, which was not realized last year. It is with the deepest of sorrow that we learn of the large number of our members who have fallen victims to tin great epidemic which swept the country during the past year. The death of these men has meant much to the Association, since in most eases they have been very active members. Summing up the year’s work, it has proven beyond all doubt the greatest of all in tin history of the organization, both in a social and financial way. More members have been enrolled as active than at any time heretofore, and the gatherings have been better attended. For this success the officers take the opportunity of thanking the Institution’s Officers and Faculty, the Student Body, and the Members of the Association for their hearty co-operation in making this the most successful year. 1 B.

ALUMNUS THE Alumnus is the official magazine published by the Alumni of the Institution and is devoted to the task of keeping graduates informed of the many tilings which are being done at the Institute and furnishing new items of classmates and friends. 'I’lic paper was started six years ago by the Alumni Association of the School of Applied Science and Design, but later the other schools of the Institute became identified with the publication and at present it is edited by representatives from all the schools, under the Federation of the Alumni Association. During the past year, it has not been possible to carry out the proposed plans of a quarterly publication, due to unsettled conditions incident to the war, so the first issue of the magazine has just put in appearance, but it is expected that another issue will be published before the close of the school year. The March issue includes an article on the Alumni Federation and a copy of the proposed constitution. An article by Mr. Tarbell on Demobilization—And Afterwards, discussing the military activities at the Institute. Then there are many notes of interest, regarding the recent appointments to the Administration Staff of the Institute and bits of notes, regarding activities of the graduates of all the schools. During the coming year, the magazine will appear quarterly and will find a welcome place on the desk and in the homes of the graduates. [ 143 ] ATHLETICS THE THISTLE Resume of Athletics for the Past Year THE war had its effect on athletics at C. I. 'I', as it did in the institutions throughout the country. At the beginning of the war, I am sure the ranks of no other school’s athletic teams were more depleted bv enlistments than were those of Tech. The effect was sorely felt by the baseball team of 10IS. Coach McCulloch had a green, inexperienced group of boys from which he was to pick a team. Although he labored diligently, there seemed to be a lack of interest which 1 feel was due to so many ulterior things occupying their minds. The lack of interest was not confined to the members of the team, but was felt throughout the schools. However, the schedule was played through, and although the team worked hard in the games, only one victory was turned in. The season was a decided failure from almost every viewpoint. The material was green, there was an apparent lack of interest among the students, the games were poorly attended, and the team received no encouragement cither froiu faculty or students. There was one advantage to the season; and that is, it gave the team much needed experience which will prove a great help to it in the season of 1011). The track team of 1018, although a little more successful than the baseball team, also felt the effects of the struggle in Europe. Meets were cancelled, good men enlisted, and, although little interest was shown by the students, the men worked hard and were rewarded by winning some meets by close scores. Coach Eyman worked persistently and developed some very good men; but again war occupied the center of the stage, and it was an effort, for the men to persevere in their athletic activities. During the summer vacation intercollegiate athletics became very much unsettled and disorganized. The Government took over the schools of the country for the S. A. T. C and for some time it looked as though athletics would not have a place on the schedule. Rut after much discussion the value of athletics was recognized and it was decided to allow the colleges to arrange intercollegiate football contests with certain stringent restrictions. Tech arranged a very attractive schedule, the Coach came on. candidates were called out, then it was found there would only be about 45 minutes a day allowed for practice. This was tried but there was so little interest shown that the Coach and Managers began to question the advisability of going ahead with the team. Practice was tried for two weeks, but owing to the fact that Manager Nuttal was a member of the S. A. T. 0., consequently having very little time for football affairs, and owing to such a limited amount of time for I)It. MAItKS 1919 THE THISTLE daily practice and such a decided lack of interest, it was decided to cancel the schedule and drop athletics at Tech for the duration of the war. This decision was reached very reluctantly, but it was found impossible to continue under the existing conditions. I pon the signing of the Armistice and t he mustering out of the S. A. T. (the colleges were restored to a peace-time basis. The question of intercollegiate athletics came up at Tech, and at a meeting of the Board of Control it was decided to resume athletic activities just where we left off at the declaration of war. Manager Stupakolf was instructed to go ahead with his basketball schedule. ( '. K. Little was elected Track Manager. John It. dangler. Baseball Manager and M. Xuttal, Tennis Manager. These men made a strenuous effort to arrange attractive schedules and each succeeded admirably, for which they deserve a great deal of credit. The outlook at tin beginning of the basketball season was not very bright, but a few days after practice started the men who had been in the service began to return, and the prospects began to brighten up. The team, although they worked hard, seemed to be slow in getting into condition and a few games at tin beginning of tin season were lost by narrow margins. We had been on the alert for a coach and three weeks after the season started, the services of Mr. Biunchi, a former Allegheny College star, were procured and he immediately took up his duties. From that time on the team began to improve and kept right on improving until the last game when they slumped enough to allow Pitt to beat them by a small score. 'Pile record for the season stands- 7 games lost and 5 won which is very creditable, when injuries, ineligibility, and so forth, are taken into consideration. The outlook for baseball was decidedly uncertain owing to lack of material in that branch of sport. But President Ilamcrschlag overcame the handicap in lack of material by securing the services of Honus Wagner, the world-famous veteran baseball player, as coach. Immediately athletics began to assume a brighter hue and more interest was shown than at any other time in the past two years. lie made a call for candidates and so many responded that he was forced to divide them into groups in order to handle them. He practiced in the Gym until the field was ready to be used. After a few days practice out-of-doors he picked his team, and although the season is young the outlook for a winning team is very bright. 'The track team was very late in getting started to practice and for quite a time was without a coach. Honus appeared and took charge of them. He was getting very good results when President Ilamcrschlag secured the services of Captain William Hazel, recently Athletic Director at Camp Humphreys, as Physical Trainer and coach of the track team. His work speaks for itself, and unless all signs fail, the season will be a decided success. Next year will see a decided change in athletic administration at Tech. Very few men on the teams graduate this year and with the past year’s experience, and with the men returning from service and the material from the entering class, if we all put our shoulders to the wheel, I am satisfied the year 1919-1920 will be a banner year in athletics for our wonderful institution. __________________1919 I H7 1 I)u.

Foxon THE THISTLE Football, 1918 TIIK prospect, fora 1018 football season for (larnegie Tech was not very bright. Having struggled through the preceding season Tech was determined to have a team. However, the unsettled conditions of the colleges in regard to athletics and the establishment of the S. A. T. ('. made the problem very difficult. During the summer plans had been made for a training house to such an extent that estimates were asked for furnishing the house. A very attractive schedule including Grove City. Lehigh, Buckncll. Cornell. Washington and .Jefferson, and the University of Pittsburgh had been arranged. Nevertheless, when the S. A. T. C. was established, all the previous work counted for naught. A new condition now existed. The men had to live in barracks. A limited amount of time was allowed for practice. To increase the difficulty Tech was quarantined on account of the Spanish Influenza. Under such conditions Coach Steffens undertook the job to produce a representative Tech team. A call for candidates was made. Among the many candidates were three 'varsity men. Bloom, Lynn and Nemser. With less than an hour a day in which to practice and with the men reporting irregularly on account of military duties, the team developed very slowly. Then again it was impos-siblcto make trips over twenty-four hours. The schedule changed as often as the sun set. The personnel of the team changed. The military activities came first. Struggling under such conditions, a Tech team was an impossibility. So, within a week of its opening game, in the middle of October, Tech cancelled its football schedule. Under a new athletic regime, football at Tech should prosper. The outlook for 1919 is very bright. Coach Steffens will again coach the team and with a wealth of material an excellent team is very obvious. Fred Bloom, Quarterback, and “Windy Lynn, End, will both be back in the fall, and the return of many 'varsity men from service is another point in favor of a Tech team. Manager X. .1. Campbell has arranged an attractive and difficult schedule including such teams as Lehigh, Case. Washington and Jefferson,Cornell, Allegheny, and the University of Pittsburgh. Let’s all get behind the manager and make the 1919 Tech Football team a champion team. 1919 THE THISTLE The Basketball Season—1918-1919 IX the middle of December, 11)18, there was probably little thought of a basketball team. There were a few men in the S. A. 'I'. C. who had played basketball before somewhere (we don't know where) and there were only two or three who had ever played for Tech, and these had been on the Freshman squad the previous season. At that time il was a good bet that we would not have a representation in this line of sport, for we had no captain, no team, no manager, no coach, and worst of all, no gymnasium, for a branch of the Medical Department of the I . S. Army was occupying that building and would not move for anything less than official orders from army headquarters. In addition to all this there was a Christmas vacation of about two weeks. This not only prevented us from getting a better line on the men we had, but it also halted everything which tended toward making a schedule. So much for the gloom side of the story. From the first week in January on, things seemed l happen all at once. Without any notice. Captain Edward M. Gret Jer returned to school. Then “Scoops” Carev, Captain-elect for next season. “Lefty” David Abrams, and “Bluy” Roy I). Foxon dropped out of the sky rigid on the Campus. Harry C. Hammann and II. W. Lynn were next to appear. At about the same time, the Medical Corps got orders to move, so only one thing remained, that was to find a coach. Dr. William L. Marks, in spite of the fact that he was kept busy from morning until night as resident physician of the Institution, and in spite of the fact that in the absence of a graduate manager he had taken over all the work of that office, volunteered to take upon his shoulders the additional burden and responsibility of coaching the team until arrangements could be made to obtain someone to put his entire time on the job. That someone was not found until the first of February. In the meantime Dr. Marks worked daily with the boys and managed to round out a good, fast combination by January 15th, when we played the Westinghouse Club team composed almost entirely of former college stars, and lost to them by one point in the last minute of play. Three days later, on the 18th, the team rolled up a score of forty-one to twenty-one against Duqucsne University. Foxon was injured in this game and was of little value to the team until the last game of the season. The combination which had been going so well was thus broken up. and just six days before the Pitt game on Pitt’s floor. This same combination with a little more practice held Westinghouse to a 38-31 score on her floor. 'The score was tie at the end of the game and Grot .ler SlnpakolT :zg 5 151 1919 THE THISTLE V required an extra period of five minutes to play off the tie, which resulted in Westing-house nosing out ahead. The following week Allegheny defeated us on our floor by twelve points. by this time we had found a man who could relieve Dr. Marks of his burden. Bert” bianehi, former star and captain of the Allegheny College team, had signed up to conch our team for the remainder of the season. It is probably as hard for a team to change coaches as it is for a new coach to come in and try to impress his ideas, which may be much different from those of the man before him. both sides seemed to get along exceptionally well, however; the men took an interest in the new coach, and he took an interest in them. The week Mr. bianehi took charge of the team was the week of the Eastern trip, and it suffices to say that it was one of the most successful trips ever taken. Two out of three games were won, the first game on the trip being lost after a long train ride.The week following we defeated Lafayette on our floor. I p to this time Lafayette had beaten all opponents but Penn., the opponents including State, Pill, and W. .J.; so that the victory over Lafayette is not to be looked at lightly. We held our next opponent, Penn State, to a tie when (’apt. (Iretsder was carried from the floor with a broken ankle. The spirit of the whole team dropped with Grctzler's going out. “Scoops Carey was moved up to center and Good put in at guard. This broke up the combination which had been going so well, and as a result, we lost decisively to State. Only one man is to be lost this year by graduation: ( aptain Edward M. Gretzler, always chee ry and congenial, liked by everyone. Gretzler has done as much, and probably more for Tech than any other man, and we wish him as much success in his fife career as he has had at Tech. Homer F. Scoops Carey is the man chosen to fill Grctzler’s shoes for the coining season. We’re all with you, “Scoops, and wish you success. Much credit is due the other three members of the team, II. W. Lynn playing guard opposite “Scoops Carey, 1). II. Abrams and II. (’. Hammann holding down the forward positions in an admirable fashion. Foxon, who played guard before being injured and later taking Gretzler’s place at center, after Gretzler was injured, deserves much credit. P. 1). Good, II. G. Xiehol. A. F. Led and (’. A. L. Maurer are the four members of the squad who came out regularly for practice, took all the bumps but got no further credit other than to get in a few games. These men deserve much praise for their work. The following men were awarded letters: Edward M. Gkbt lkk, Captain Homer F. Carey Hakky C. IIammaw S 11. Sti cakoit. Ju., Manager David II.

CHAMPIONS mil) Inter-Fraternity Basketball Inter-Fraternity basketball suffered more or less this year due to the heavy class schedules with which the majority of Tcchitcs were suffering. Players were often absent, games were postponed, cancelled, and forfeited, and altogether it was a “rough and rocky road” for inter-fraternity competition. However, the team which easily won the laurels were the boys from the Woodlawn Club. Their basket shooting and team work won them easy victories over the other fives and they are to be congratulated upon making a fine record for the season. 1919 COACH IIAZKL Review of the Track Season THE outlook for track at Tech looked rather slim about March 94th when t he available men were grouped together at track practice. First, because the material was mediocre, and second because this mediocre material had not had sufficient early training indoors to properly tit them for the season ahead. There were few men of experience back and the new men had done little or no track work. But in just a casual glance at the material from these two standpoints one large factor was lacking. Tech spirit. Tech sticktoitiveness. Tech determination; and in this lies the success of the team this year and future years. So, with two veterans. Captain Schmidt and George Fllerlon, the squad started work. With a new coach in charge, new methods were naturally employed; and after a few weeks work the strangeness of this wore off. New calls were sent out and more men reported for the work, until a squad of about sixty were busy every day on the cinders. With the Penn Relays only a month ahead the task of finding four men capable of doing justice to Tech was the proposition in hand. Captain Schmidt, the veteran of last year, was the only quarter-miler of known quality in the squad. Russell, Gare, Hiller, Nicman, Stone and Sacks were worked with the relays in mind, and within two weeks these men were fighting for places on the team. Gare and Hiller, by consistent work, won second and third place, while Russell. Sacks, and Stone were still fighting for the fourth berth. At this time the Faculty Maul descended on the head of Russell and he was eliminated from the fight. Sacks with his characteristic fight kept on getting faster and faster in his trials and won the fourth place on the team. While these men were working for the relays, the rest of the team were working for-------well, they knew not what; but in a few months time each began to ( 155 | 1919 THE THISTLE ('apt. Schmidt learn that there was some race in which he was good and turned his al tent ion to that one. After a stubborn “Fight” with Washington and Jefferson. Tech won second place at the relays and came back home with a huge supply of pep and fight which found its way to the rest of the squad. With the relay a thing of the past more attention was given to the other men, and for the press meet. May 3rd, a peppy squad of men was ready to try its speed against Pitt. Hut--------the old. ever- present Faculty hammer gently but firmly eliminated eleven of these ambitious speed artists from the ranks of the team; and with the remainder Tech gathered seventeen points while Pitt gathered thirty-three. However, even that ever-present Maul could not discourage the Tech men. and one by one those eleven were added again to the team ranks which met Lafayette at Easton. May 10th. Lafayette, with a team far superior to our own. carried away the meet 71 2-5 to 40 3-5. With this defeat Tech acquired more pep, for they came out of the meet with a greater determination than ever to put across a good season. Dennison, who had lost last year to Tech by only two and two-thirds points, came to Tech field May 17th. and was swamped this-lime 78 to 33. It was at this meet that the green Tech men began to show results. Sacks, who had been shifted to the half mile, won in the good time of Hiller, another new recruit, gained second place in the 220; (hire, a new man at the hurdles, took second place in that event; Ilammcn. another green man, took second place in the broad jump with a jump of 20.2 feet, while Stillts, also a new man, won second place in the pole vault. These places, while only seconds, show the big improvement of men who heretofore have done little or no track work, and this fact alone augers well for the future Tech track teams. Besides the actual track work the track men are slowly building up an organization which stands for the best in Tech. The rules of training are rules because the team men themselves make them rules. It is becoming a matter of pride to make some sacrifice for the team and the team as a whole sees that rules are lived up to without the aid of the coach. It is becoming no longer necessary for the coach to make many rules, for the men are taking such a pride in their particular team that they no longer are necessary. Never has a team given up dances, bet wccn-times-cating. and so forth, with such a fine spirit as has this Tech Track team and much credit is due them for this. With three meets yet to go and the pep holding forth in fine shape the balance of the season looks like a winner; but win or lose this Tech Track team stands for the best ideal of the college in manliness and true sportsmanship. William IIazel, Manager Little Director of Physical Training. 1919 w p- THE THISTLE 1919 [ 157 ] f sci ] .. 6i6i «« ioads„ a SIHJ jRL COACH WAGKBR Baseball 1918-1919 UNDER the careful tutelage and leadership of one of the greatest baseball players, Honus Wagner, the 1!)1!) Baseball Team of Carnegie successfully completed a very difficult schedule. Of the squad which reported for try-outs and practice very few had ever played college ball before. However, Hans quickly welded a winning combination, only to have it soon disrupted by injuries to the players and the ever-appearing Indian sign, “flunks.” After the team had awakened from this hysteria of hard luck, the pitching corps was found to consist of only one man, Weiss. Weiss, although doing excellent work, was not able to cope with the strenuous schedule and therein lay the great weakness of the team. Too much credit cannot be given Coach Wagner, better known even to the girls, as “Hans,” for the wonderful work which he accomplished with the baseball team this year. He made stars out of recruits; not individual stars, but stars who sacrificed their own records for the welfare of the team. With these men jus a nucleus, and with the prospects due to arrive next year, Hans Wagner is sure to have a team that will give any college team trouble during the next season. We wish him the best of success. William H. Oaklky. 159 1919 THE SQUAD Edward A. Gretzler ------ John It. Gauglcr.......................

Hence, much concerning the activities that this Council has had will have to be left unsaid. The Council has had many problems of reorganization and reconstruction, and before this school year ends several projects will have been fostered and put across, which at present arc in the process of construction. The affairs that the Council looks after are those pertaining to the students as a whole or those which concern more than one school. 'Phe membership of the Council is so apportioned that it has two representative from each school, one the President of the Senior Class and the other the President of the governing body. 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 Board and the President of the Athletic Association of the entire school.

The Board wishes to encourage all existing activities not already under the supervision of the Board,and any contemplated activity, to put its case for recognition before the Board. Before recognition can take place, the constitution of the activity in question must be approved by the Board. All activity managers are recpiired to submit monthly reports covering their progress and finances. We all note that the signs of the times point to a bigger and better Tech in all lines of activity.

( Student Senate was formed in October, 1913, for the controlling body of the Student Government Association. The Senate has jurisdiction over the conduct of the students as far as it is connected with the school, and has the power to enforce the penalties which it has recommended to the Faculty; to be enforced these penalties must be ratified by the Dean of the College. The Senate consists of officers elected by the student body of M. M. C. representatives elected from the four regular classes and the S. I. V. Class, and the Presidents of the three Dormitories. On account of the war activities, it was considered wise to add the head of the War Activities Council to the Senate.

E. Orr was chairman. That committee had in mind a Senate which would have general regulation of student conduct. Freshman regulations, bulletin board, clubroonis and matters of a similar nature; and when the body was actually organized during that and the following year, there was ample evidence of the unified control over these matters, and of the increased spirit and efficiency which that control fostered. But along came the war, and the Senate, like everything else, found itself inoperative- few members in school and no student body to govern. When the school came back to life with the new year of 1919 there was practically the problem of starting everything from the beginning again. Thanks, however, to that provision which had made the Senate perpetuate itself by giving some of the members two-year terms, there was still the nucleus of the body left and Vice-President P. S. Miller was soon able to get action from the four classes to fill the vacancies. The work has been more or less an up hill grind, because it has seemed difficult to come back from war-time conditions. For example. Mills as chairman of the Freshman Regulation Committee found it hard to accomplish much in the matter of Freshman hats at first because of the many uniforms being worn. Armor, chairman of the Clubroom committee, met just as great difficulties because the clubroom had been used by the army, and it seemed very unlikely that the students would ever get it back. Nevertheless, the Senate has accomplished much through both of these committees, as well as the matter of bulletin boards, and student assemblies, and finally they succeeded in holding as successful a Science Smoker as there has ever been here. All of which justifies the existence of the Senate as it now stands, and might justify giving it greater powers. PERSONNEL Seniors P. S. MlLLKR, President F. J. Nuttall C. I). Mills P. II. Armor Geo.

And it was a lively affair; fete fantastique” is rather a tame handle to give to the party that the Tech painters, sculptors, actors, architects, and musicians had on the evening of March 28th (and morning of March 29th). Becowled monks did the latest shimmie” with Clcopatras more beautifully adorned than that lady herself ever aspired to be; the Mikado flirted outrageously with the Queen of Sheba; geisha girls danced boldly around with mailed warriors-and who would have suspected that that Lord High Executioner” over in the corner was none other than the crack expert in freshman drafting, and that pretty Pitti Sing” with the Japanese fan was the best artist in the Painting and Decorating Department of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, but all in the day-time. That night they were more Orientally eastern than the slant-eyed Orientals themselves. The Design School Ball is a onee-a-year affair that the Design students start to get ready for weeks ahead of time and talk about for weeks afterward. This year it took the from of a far-East masque ball. The foyer, lobby, and Exhibition Hoorn were wonderfully decorated with Oriental paintings, lanterns, and draperies; soft-lined red and blue lights playing on the white marble of the halls added more mystery to the already fantastic scene. At about the hour of midnight a feast was held in the Exhibition Room and papier-mache Buddha looked down from her throne and smiled a benevolent smile upon her gay subjects who were so heartily attempting to forget the drudgery of Algebra, Calculus, and the History of Furniture. Every year the artists try to outstrip previous records in costumes and decorations; we wonder what the 1920 Ball will bring forth? 1919 THJE THISTLE 1919 I 184 1 mJUl think ’ -• vr st lha lmcorij.ti6s O. them's Jdc in that sacd-Ln Cos? u me' I WonJir which one til4b m she I So. id d 4 v f ,, Something Orient- THE THISTLE � :30 I M. 8:00 I .

Surely none of the Juniors and Seniors who were dancing at the Junior Prom, in the Rittenhouse. The (band March led by the Junior ( lass President, Miss Myrtle Coe, started off the most memorable evening in our Junior year; also the first formal Promenade since the war began. A sprinkling of Army, Navy, and Marine uniforms was the only thing that denoted the existence of a war,and the committees are to be congratulated upon the success of their efforts to bring back the old pre-war gaiety. Dancing began at 0:30 and continued until -2 o’clock, when we had to stop without completing our program. Supper was served at P2 o’clock in the main dining room of the Rittenhouse. Tables seating four, six. and eight people were decorated with flowers an l the lower dining room was lighted by soft shaded floor lamps. The (’lass of 1940 owes a vote of thanks to the Social Chairman, the Class President, and the various committees who worked to make the Prom, a success. S.

COMMUTE K rrhe Science Junior Promenade NOT very long after school started, the Junior class decided that even if conditions were still very much unsettled, they were going to have a Prom. A com mi t tee was appointed and started a difficult job. First of all, tradition was almost entirely scattered to the winds— Design was excluded from participating. On the evening of February 48, 1911). at the Twentieth Century Club, the class of 11)40, School of Applied Science, held the first annual Science Promenade. If was an evening of surprises and this added greatly to the enjoyment of the affair. Everyone was kept guessing especially as to when the “moonlights” were coming. 'Flic schedule contained thirty dances, but extras were put in and a total of forty dances just ended at 4:80 A. M. One of the most interesting features of the evening was the decoration of the diningroom where a luncheon was served about 14 o’clock. Blue -the science color—was the background of a very unique color scheme. Taken all in all it might be said that a Junior Prom, was never enjoyed more than this one. It was shown by the fact that almost every couple was present for the Home Waltz. Much credit is due to the committee who succeeded in turning out this splendid affair. COMMITTEE F. B.

While in school Mr. Crawford was four years with the clubs and a member of the quartet. During the four years he was manager and president of the clubs. As president lie introduced the informal second part of the program, a custom which has been followed every year since. After graduating Mr. Crawford and his fellow members of the quartet formed the Lyric Quartet and became known throughout the Middle West. Mr. Crawford's originality is shown in the second part of the program for which he is responsible.

When only sixteen, he toured South America as a mandolin soloist and later returned to Leipciz where In continued his study of mandolin and violin. A short time later he toured Europe and South America, appearing before royalty. In the spring of 1900. Mr. Scalzo came to New York and later to Pittsburgh. He is a well-known musician, having played violin in the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and the Pittsburgh Festival Orchestra. In 1910 In became director of the Mandolin Club of the Carnegie Musical Clubs, a position which he has held to the present time with great credit to himself and to the clubs. Mr. Scalzo was one of the first directors to introduce classic music into the program of a college mandolin club. Under the patient direction of Mr. Scalzo the mandolin club has developed into a club which sets the standard for similar college organizations. 1 195 ! 3 S 1919 TUB CAUNKCIB MU8ICAI. CI.UVS KXKClTIVK COMMITTKK Resume of the Season, 1919 Out of the chaos which followed the demobilization of the S. A. 'I'. (’. came the effort to reorganize the Carnegie Musical Clubs. It was during the first weeks of January that the insignia men met and endeavored to pul the clubs on their feet. With a nucleus of eight men a call for new material was made and over a hundred men reported for the first tryouts. 'Phe Carnegie Musical Clubs were the first of the activities to organize sifter the war. Regular work was then begun. A pleasant smoker tendered last year's men and all those who tried out created a feeling of fellowship. 'Phe season opened on March 4th with the annual charity concert at the Pittsburgh City Home at May view. Efforts were then directed toward the two-day trip to bat robe and (ireensburg. 'Phe feature of this trip was the special recital of the (dee Club in honor of Kx-President Taft, who was visiting bat robe in behalf of the League of Nations. Unbiased, favorable criticism was theirs in batrobe. 'Phe excellence of the concert at (ireensburg shall not be forgotten by those who were present. The local concerts at Swissvale, Aspinwall, Rivcrview, and Wihnerding followed shortly after the trip. At Rivcrview the clubs were much appreciated by the wounded boys from 2 S 1919 THE THISTLE “over there. So successful was the concert at Wilmerding that an invitation was extended for next year. Interrupted l y the spring exams, the cluhs then made a trip during I''as ter Week. Again the people of New Castle showed their appreciation by turning out in large numbers in spite of a heavy downpour of rain. At Warren. Ohio, the clubs were well received and gave the town one of the best concerts ever. The concert at Youngstown, under the auspices of the Tech Alumni Association, was the climax of the trip. The Alumni were fortunate in having Director Sealzo to play a solo. The Alumni at Youngstown are to be complimented and they are a very good example for those of other cities to follow. Following the trip a local concert at Mt. Washington was given. The fourteenth annual Home Concert in Carnegie Music Hall on May 9th climaxed the season. The program was delightfully varied and at no stage of its progress could it have been called monotonous. The (dee Club sang with skill which showed the effect of patient work. The Mandolin Club performed with precision, which is characteristic of its director. The informal second part of the program depicted the clubs on a trip waiting for a train at a small railway station. The scene was unique and characteristic of the typical trip of the Carnegie Musical Clubs. The Annual Home Concert Hall in the large and spacious ball room of the Syria Mosque was a brilliant success. The annual joint-concert with the Pittsburgh College for Women came a week later. The concert season was closed by again continuing the annual concert at the Cniversify Club the following night. With only a short two months in which to prepare a program, the clubs developed into °ue of the best. The musical success is due to the patience of the directors, Mr. Scal .o :,nd Mr. Crawford. The financial success is due to the untiring efforts and hard work of Ihe manager, Mr. Alden Faville, who has been manager for two succeeding years. As most °f the men are under-classmen the prospects for next year are bright and may the clubs go Just one step bet ter. 2 S 1 198 j 1919 1. 'Plie Vikings Glee Club ('oleridf e- Taylor ”2.

Sully” is very popular with the students and this fact coupled to his ability as a director makes it possible for him to turn out a Band where others would fail. Sully” always takes a personal interest in the Band at Tech and has many times demonstrated that his heart is in the work.” The officers and members of the Band should also be given credit for the fact that they formed and maintained a Band in spite of the unsettled conditions of the past school year. 191P ( 204 ] | Efeg7 THI5 THISTLE The Thistle Board (■n.itKKT C.

Since that day there has been an issue every week and will continue in publication as long as school continues. The Editor and Business Manager, elected last year, were reluctant to start the paper under the difficulties that were imposed by the present shortened year upon any staff that would endeavor to issue such a sheet. However, the present Editor, at that time the Business Manager, together with “Dutch” Emrick, started the ball rolling and the first issue was a success. Shortly after starting, Mr. Emrick found it necessary to give up his work on the Tartan owing to the exigencies of his school work. T. W. Allsworth. then the Business Manager, took up the reins of Editor and served in the capacity ever since. Although there have been many difficulties encountered since the start, they have all been overcome and the paper is coming up to the standard of any publication in the school, and serving the noble purpose of keeping the schools closer together by ties of common interest. ____________IMS I 208 J The Tartan Staff T.

We wished we were in hell. We wanted to fry flapjacks on the flaming flagstones and eat them with the sweet syrups distilled from joys of the most vicious crimes of those who have gone before. We wanted to shoot crap with Mark Antony and Gyp, the Blood; with Helen of Troy opening the beer-taps and Cleopatra lugging the steins when we got thirsty. We wanted to sing Scotland's Burning” with Bobby Burns, and It’ll be a Hot. Time in the Old Town Tonight” with a bit of a chick we knew in Chicago.

(). T. AND S. A. T. C. DAYS 1919 MS [214] THE THISTLE Students’ Army Training Corps IT was on October 1st, 1018, that a couple of thousand boys at Tech decided to Iryeating at the green, wooden mess hall that stood next to the Central Building. After physical examinations were over, the first job for the Student Army was to see howquickly they could wear all the grass off flagstaff hill with no other implements than the bottoms of their shoes. A great many students returned, expecting to have a little time to devote to their chosen courses, only to find that the chief study was in foot-work. This was very fortunate for the few students whose thinking capacity was located in that region of the anatomy commonly called the foot. But those who had already been doing “squads right for one or two years found il very difficult to enjoy the walks which lasted all morning and all afternoon. Bui. of course, we played games every day, and that was loads of fun. The first few days an arm or collar-bone was broken quite regularly, but later the casualties decreased greatly. Our drilling and games gave us wonderful appetites and we enjoyed the food at the mess hall very much. Anyhow, we were told that we were better fed than any other college. (We all pitied the other colleges!) When we went to bed at night we were tired and rested well; but morning came too soon. Some of us slept in the Hotel de Ford, commonly called the Ford Factory, and others in the Duquesnc Gardens (yes, in the Gardens themselves), and still others in the Masonic Temple. Most of us slept in each of these at some time or other. One of the most thrilling things, of course, was when we passed in review. A hundred-piece band playing, with the bright sun glistening on their instruments, was marvelous. It made the chills of patriotism run up and down our backs, until the armistice was signed that took the pep out of everything. The chief pastime around the barracks was the playing of practical jokes on some one —anyone, preferably a student sergeant. Everyone knows that a sergeant is a most lovable creature, especially the kind that walks in the line of file-closers for a week and then begins to count cadence and give orders. We were in quarantine for six weeks. Then we were given studies for a couple of weeks. The senior drama student and the plebe plumber took the same subjects. This variety tended naturally to make the course very spicy. All in all. we had a darn good time in the S. A. T. C. We were glad we went in and glad we got out! There are hundreds of little incidents that could be told: who our officers were, all about the Naval Unit, how many pounds we gained, and all that. Instead I II leave those to be told direct. Then the speaker can twist and stretch the stories to his heart's content. W. .1.

Guild TIIE Guild is the charitable organization of Margaret Morrison Carnegie College. Beside the annual membership fee of twenty-five cents, the Guild obtains money by holding, annually, a dance and a Christmas bazaar. The Guild aims to give other than financial aid as well. Many of the members do volunteer playground and settlement work. 'I'llis may consist of teaching sewing or cooking classes, of telling stories to groups of children, of supervising dances, or of caring for children of foreign parents while their mothers attend Americanization classes. It is the purpose of the Guild also to bring the different aspects of social service to the attention of its members through well-known speakers. This year over $3.50 has been raised for distribution. Part of this money ill go to the Carnegie Tech French Orphan Fund, to the Pittsburgh Home for Girls, and to the Kingsley Settlement House. The remainder of the money will go to such organizations as the Guild members deem most needy.

W. C. A. CABINET Y. W. C. A. IN its existence of little more than a year, the Margaret Morrison Y. W.has flourished. Like every other organization, it suffered from the “Flu” epidemic: hut in spite of a delayed beginning meetings have been held regularly. Through holiday excitement. Proms, exams, and so forth, the average attendance has been thirty. The weekly meeting gives the students an opportunity to enjoy that hour of restful inspiration together, so essential at the end of the day. About three hundred and fifty girls from Margaret Morrison and Design School came to the tea, the first social event of the year, to become acquainted and since then there have been many outstanding meetings. “'I'llrough the Fves of a Freshman” pointed out the upper classmen's sins of omission and commission. Some of the valuable suggestions that were made were the need fora girls' musical club, a glee club, kodak and hike clubs. “Booster” week originated through the Y. Y. ( A., and the “Booster” meeting was also a Red Letter day. The faculty showed us some of their pep and school spirit in their meeting. Imagine our consternation at their advice to I lit women of the school to be “More ('urious.” Some of their practical ideas made us think. “Why didn't we think of that before?” One afternoon was devoted to making scrap books for the Children's Hospital on Forbes Street. Once a month the A Bible ('lass has met with Pitt Y. Y. at the Hospitality House, had dinner, then a discussion in the cozy living room led by Miss Ruth ('onant of Central. Phis year plans are under way to send four girls to I he Eaglcsmcrc Summer Conference. I SSI 1 1919 Red C TOSS C. I. T. AUXILIARY TIIE great war activities on thecampus stirred within our girls a deep sense of responsibility and a desire to serve our country in any possible wav. Whereupon some of us made application at once to the Red Cross to have an Auxiliary formed here at Tech. That we might have funds to purchase materials and equipment the Tech Band undertook to give a Ball under the auspices of the Red Cross. The hearty cooperation of the Faculty and student body, with many liberal donations from friends, brought the new organization quite an appreciable sum. 'Flic diligence of the girls was proven by the great number of hospital garments and supplies, the innumerable surgical dressings, the knitted articles—socks and sweaters galore, which were made and sent from our work-rooms to Headquarters. Not only were the girls able to provide each boy with a knitted outfit and comfort kit as lie left Tech for camp, but through Headquarters we also distributed hundreds of sweaters to the soldiers on our campus. And during the “flu epidemic we sent out books, magazines, and daily papers to the barracks, hospitals, and infirmaries. At the final meeting of the Auxiliary a large bank account was reported, which was submitted to the American Red Cross. We also had a bank balance in our ( ontingent Fund which permitted us to offer a scholarship to Tech for a former student honorably discharged from the service. [ 222 ] 1919 THE THISTLE Oakland Community House 3904 FORBES STREET THIS Institution aims: First, to offer to all young people of I lie community a homo, and so enable them to meet the social and recreational demands of their natures in a legitimate and constructive way. Here young people have the opportunity to meet other young people through the medium of “at home” parties, open house, special socials, and receptions. The house is equipped with Social Rooms, Heading Room, Pool Room. Dining Room, and Kitchen, which are free to all. It is an especially attractive place for clubs and classes to meet and prepare dinner and enjoy a real “at home.” The Sunday Open House is especially attractive. One can come and meet friends, have supper for fifteen cents, and hear an address on some current topic. Second, to offer an opportunity for religious expression and service: to bring young people in touch with the great opportunities to invest their lives in Christian service, to offer expert advice in the solution of personal problems. Already this year the Oakland Student Missionary Club has found six students for foreign missions. In February four delegates from Tech attended the Centenary Conference at Delaware, Ohio. Third, to offer students an opportunity to supplement their college work by a study of religious, social, and community problems, so as to be better fitted to meet the demands that will be made upon them when they return to their homes. The following discussion groups meet regularly every two weeks: The Young Woman's Discussion Croup has been formed for the young women of the Carnegie Institute of Technology and the Cniversity of Pittsburgh, where questions pertaining to the social and religious life of students are freely and informally discussed. The affair takes the form of a supper meeting in order that it may be recreational as well as educational and not infringe on the valuable time of the student. The Pathfinders is a group of Tech and Pitt students which meets for the purpose of discussing the intellectual problems of religion, and to discover, if possible, some common standing ground for religious and educational forces. | frl'3 ) 1919 ORGANIZATIONS Organizations HONOR SOCIETIES ran Rota Pi Alpha Tau Tau Sigma Dolla Delta Skull Law loci i fra rie Klanicht NATIONAL FRATERNITIES Intor-Fraternitv ('ounoil Theta Xi Alpha Kappa Psi Sigma Nu Delta Upsilon Phi Epsilon Pi LOCAL FRATERNITIES Chi Phi Sigma Rho Xi Sigma I psilon (‘la Lambda Epsilon (Sigma Alpha Epsilon) Woodlawn Club Opheleum Delta Epsilon Omega Tail Gamma Phi Southern (dub Kappa Sigma Rho The Stringers Civil and Sanitary Engineering Society Commercial Club Carnegie .Mechanical Engineering Society American Institute of Electrical Engineers Metallurgical and Mining Society Chemists' Club St udio Club Tech Architectural Club The Graphical Tech Mechanics Club Avo Club building Construction Club ('osmopolitan Club CU RS AND SOCIETIES C.

Its national charter was handed down on August 10. 11)17. The objects of the Fraternity arc: 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-fellowship; 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 par with these older organizations. 1919 I 1 THE THISTLE A . y 1 Alpha Tan 1 loNOKAKY M i:.MBKK ( lifford B.

Stands Carnegie stands Carnegie. It towers tall and stately— No others can I see Than Carnegie—Jlian Carnegie. Loyal sons with hearts so true and tender Vie with one another to defend her. Honor, Truth and Friendship AH unite to be Our Carnegie—our Carnegie. Chorus: Dear old Tech—Carnegie Tech: It's the best of all the schools I ever knew. Dear old Tech—Carnegie Tech: Where every single fellow is true blue. When I go a-strolling out through Schenlcy Tech's the only place that takes my eye, And when I'm far away from Pittsburgh I'll remember you, TECH, till I die. On the field of glory We strive with all our might For Carnegie—for Carnegie. 'Tis told by deed and story Our courage for the right. In Carnegie—in Carnegie Our hearts go out in song to all our heroes; Our plunging team is thrilled with all its echoes. With brain and brawn and muscle We'll ne'er give up the fight For Carnegie—for Carnegie.

The Beach at Waikaki” hasn’t a thing on the lawn at Mellon Hall” or at Forbes Hall when The Stringers are out in full force. Who are they? Why, they are a bevy of fair damosels who fain would make sweet music come from “ukes, which some say is impossible but which we declare is done by none other than the world-famous Stringers. We hope they will keep right on stringing through next year, too. 2SS 1919 [ 204 ] Tlie Civil and Sanitary Engineering Society Faculty M km hi: us Dean W. F«. Mott Professor F. M.

Sinclair Robert Wellmon 1919 [ 296 ] Carnegie Mechanical Engineering Society TOGETHER with the rest of the truly Tech organizations the “GREASE WIPERS” came through the war and the school year in fine shape. The impetus for this was really laid at the banquet in the spring of 11)18, when the new men took up the work so nobly carried on by those leaving. The work of the society has been of a double nature: one entirely technical and the other with a view to broadening the members from a social standpoint. Mr. Kreisinger opened our school year with a talk on the subject of boilers, which was highly instructive; and then came Mr. Pfouts with a talk on our national resources—together with somoof his truly original jokes. The last meeting welcomed back Mr. Stachle, Editor-in-Chief of the “Blast Furnace and Gas Age,” who told us about the editing and advertising part of magazine work. One big event, stands out in connection with the Mechanical Society: the sending of a resolution from this society to the Four Schools Council requesting that the society be given permission to father a movement to plant trees on our campus. IJiW 1919 [ 297 ] American Institute of Electrical Engineers CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OP TECHNOLOGY BRANCH THE A. I. E. E. enjoyed a fairly successful year. Only three meetings were held since the term was short. However, these meetings were very interesting and lively, and the members heard several good talks from men who had returned from “over there. The usual A. I. E. E. banquet was not held. In its stead a social supper was given and a very interesting meeting accompanied it. The Carnegie Branch looks forward to a wonderful season next year when the upper classes are larger. OFFICERS L. C. YoUNG - - - - -...............Chairman K. K.

The society is an affiliated student branch of the Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, and all upper-classmen have the privilege of becoming Junior Associate Members of the Institute. Several meetings were held during the term and addresses were given by men prominent in metallurgical and mining industries. The undergraduates were greatly benefitted by these lectures in learning of the practical problems that confront the graduate, and their methods of attack. The meetings of the society also tended to promote broader social contact between the members of the various classes and to foster a certain amount of professional pride.

It has been very unfortunate in having so small a number enrolled this year, and for this reason it was thought advisable not to have the usual Easter Card Campaign. The Club offers a Freshman Scholarship each year, William I). Ilall being the holder for the present year. The Graphica has suffered from the war just as t he other school clubs have; but it expects to have many new members next year and will be as active as it has been in former years.

It will facilitate the study and ultimately increase the attendance of foreign students at the Institute because it represents an organized effort for the increase of the value and pleasantness of study of the foreign students at Tech. As a chapter of the Corda Fratres Association of Cosmopolitan Clubs, which is the International Federation of Students, any member of this club will enjoy the hospitality and privileges of cosmopolitan clubs which are connected with the best institutions of higher learning in the United States and abroad.

Personages they are indeed, for everyone is an individual here. And yet we are not so entirely individual that we care not for others, for certain gatherings and goings-on” show this to be entirely authentic. A great spirit of comradeship, excluding none, prevails. We all have our own tooth brushes; but that new straw hat of Hetty’s looks well on everyone who wears it. We also have an inexhaustible supply of college spirit, ukes, and ditties. If you don’t believe it, ask the neighbors; but anything unpleasant which they may tell you about us isn’t true ask us! We’ll tell you the true story. Visitors receive a hearty welcome at our house, so never hesitate to come around when you're feeling out of sorts. At the first tinkle of the door bell at least six rush to the balcony to make you feel at home. Fvcn brothers are looked upon with interest. Or if. perchance, the front door method seems a little too aggressive to you, try the telephone; it's never busy and its ring is never spurned. All in all, we’re pretty well satisfied with ourselves we decided it before any of I In fraternities did and our hope is that the school-mates coming from Morewood to share our happy life will be as well satisfied with us. 1919 THE THISTLE Mellon Hall Optimism IN spite of the fact that old King (doom in the form of t lie Spanish Influenzarcignedsu-preme at the opening of the school year, we have succeeded admirably in maintaining our old Mellon Hall Rep. Our Plebes were just as peppy, the house just as nice, the grounds just as wonderful after conditions had adjusted themselves as heretofore. The same eternal question of “When is Blanche coming back? but with an entirely different result greeted us in the first days of “after-flu times. Our new chaperone was even nicer than we expected and after an initial bout with the Sophs and the Plebes everyone was rcaily to settle down to a year's grind. Since war-time conservation has become such a habit, “Moonlights” at Mellon Hall have proven very efficacious in reducing our light bill. One of our favored members has devised an entirely different means of perpetual moonlight and we hear that Herbert doesn’t altogether object. “Oh, Herbert, haven’t you another frat pin, so that some of the less fortunate members of Mellon Hall can stay up until twelve o’clock, too?” One can hardly blame paSsersby for gazing with longing eyes at our ravishingly beautiful grounds. Nature sure is wonderful, ain’t she? Don’t breathe this to a soul, but we have heard rumors that the girls are not out of keeping with their surroundings. 1919 Mellon Annex IN spite of all foreboding to the contrary Mellon Annex has been a pleasant home. For a long Winter and a longer Spring two score or more “young ladies of the M. M. I).” lived quite happily within the shelter of its sturdy, brick walls. We can all say that we had a good time there and that our recollections of it will bring smiles and no tears. Our thoughts will turn most often to our dear “Mother Brown who made our dormitory the best ever. It will be impossible to forget her Sunday afternoon teas and her birthday parties. Because of her the dormitory became a real home to all of us. It may appear strange to some that the girls of Mellon Annex are moving in a body to Woodlawn Hall; but there is no one with the moral courage to go back to the Annex when Mrs. Brown is not there. She is deserting us to join her husband when he leaves his position as Chaplain in the British Army. Mrs. Brown and the Annex will always be remembered. [SIS] 1919 Morewood I lull I'M sorry, but you can't stand here on the porch and talk. (lood-night. Thus did the poor 1’lobes at Morewood follow out the law. Being in a strictly Freshman dormitory had its trials as well as compensations. We were not bothered by upperclassmen or Sophomores; yet, because of the lack of their example, we felt it necessary to live up to every rule. But our Plebe house was popular. 1C very evening we could have “dates”; it seemed like a party, for we joined together in our good times and shared our “men.” Since observing people at other houses we wonder if we were exactly wise, for we had not yet learned that “a good man nowadays is hard to find.” and that we were apt to lose him. We did have lovely parties and good food. Then was a young Fnsign who found meal-time tin-most convenient time to arrive at the dormitory. Being such a brave man he had the courage to eat in our dining room. (We have since voted him the brown derby for this conspicuous bravery). Though there were only nine Plches there when we broke up house-keeping, we really were sorry to leave . 1919 Aajl THE THISTLE BOYS’ DORMS (H it I'ltKNCH VISITORS 1919 THE THISTLE lv5s feiMy M EAST DORMITORY 1919 [ 1 EAST DOItM GOVERNING HOARD EAST DORMITORY Fir si Semester G.

In the days of old they had shows and nobody knew what the show was about, so they had a prologue; hence the pyramids and the white mice. Pung. Many things have happened during the year and then again not as many as you might think. The year has been a monumentuoiis one. Dynasties have been dynamited; Ruby’s Bolsheviki has come and gone but Pop Thayer’s grows on forever; but in spite of hell and taxes the School of Implied Science goes on its way merrily. Pung. As I have said the year has been a humdinger. Many notable events have occurred. The Hamersehlag dam has dammed and been dammed. Filthy Sergeant Favillc of S. A. 'I'. C. fame (?) went off on a Glee Club trip toLatrobe. Pung. Shacks have sprung up on the campus over night, and lingered for months; and where they stood no grass now grows. Giffen proved that a Junior Prom, could be held without music. Pung. Toby Miller showed by parting his hair in the middle, that better judgment does not necessarily accompany maturity. Col. P. T. Day has proved how truly versatile one can be by dividing his time between Physical Training and Pink Teas. But in spite of these blemishes upon the path of progress, graduation time approached and great was the rejoicing throughout the land. Oh, what is so rare as a day in July? Then, if ever, comes our graduation. Tung—indicates a bull’s eye. 17 J 1919 7 rBS ( 828 1 - - - - “II” ...........“M” .... “C” ..........“P” . . . , “F” ............“ir ..............“D” THE THISTLE ACT ONLY Scene Only Scene—Graduation Exercises of C. I. T., 1919. Curtain Arthur, John, and Hans stroll in and sit down. Arthur (patronizingly)—My dear Colonel, I am indeed glad to have you with us this evening; and you too, Ilonus, are making your maiden appearance, I believe, at this kind of an affair. I have noticed that you are wearing a new addition to your service stripe, John. May I ask what it means? John—Oh! 1 got that for faithful attendance at the 1 . A. A. Major Lyle did much better. He got a I). S. (). out of it. Arthur—Hut I have noticed that Captain Mcllor signs his name 1). S. (). now. Is he not of the Distinguished Service Order? John—No, in his case that means Domestic Service Only. Hv the way, I was in Washington the other day and was talking with the Secretary of War. lie has a very high opinion of you. Arthur—Secretary Baker is indeed a most wonderful man. 1 value his opinion on most matters most highly. In fact, our views on all subjects have always coincided. John—You were down in Washington the other day, were you not? Arthur—Yes, I did go down, and if I do say il myself, I took the place by storm. It was just like our old friend Caesar with the Gauls: Weecy, Woocy, Wunicy. John—Did you have a pleasant visit? Arthur—Yes, I went to the theatre quite a bit while I was there. John—How was the chorus? Arthur—Oh! there was no chorus. I went to see some Shakespearean plays: “The Merry Wives of Wilson” and “McAdoo About Nothing.” John—When I was last at the capitol I got some interesting dope on next year. We are to get one thousand nearly-new Russian Rifles and have first call on all the misfit and worn uniforms in the country; besides this, several of my old Second Lieutenants from the S. A. T. C. will enter as Plebes in Industries next year and I will have their help. I will also get two machine guns, a howitzer, and one hundred picks and shovels so we’ll be able to do some tall shooting next year. Arthur—What will we use as a target in this shooting gallery of yours? John—Why not the Science School? Hv the way, I have heard many comments on your idea of haloing Army clothing. Where did you get your idea? Arthur—Oh! I got that idea after getting some of the students out of jail after a Pitt game. Colonel, I think you military men stand too much on dignity. I think you should mix more with the students. Why did you not go to the Junior Prom? 1919 7 S [ S29 ) THE THISTLE John (coyly)—Oil. I had a date. Arthur Oh! that’s different, hut I think you should attend more affairs. Why don’t von do as I do? When 1 see a girl at a dance and like her, I dance with her. (S. A. T. C. Boy rushes in looking wildly about, runs up to the Colonel and salutes stiffly but rottenly.) S.A.T.C. Hoy—Oh! sir. Oh! sir, has the Colonel seen my papa? I came here a while ago with him and I have lost him. Oh, dear! Oh, dear! John (stiffly)—The Colonel has not seen your papa. S.A.T.C. Hoy—Thank the Colonel. (Salutes and starts away.) John (proudly)—Mellor had the dope. Director- I mean President—can’t you make him a Dean around here? 11 onus—Or a sardine. S.A.T.C. Hoy-—No chance, nature beat us to it. (Kntcr papa of S.A.T.C. Boy, limping, carrying a crude cane, has a black eye, clothing dirty and badly torn.) S.A.T.C. Hoy—Why! papa, where have you been and what has happened to you? Have you been arguing with mamma again? Papa Oh, I just took a short cut across the campus. First I was caught in wire entanglements and trenches. After crawling through and over these I located a solid plank walk, when one of the planks broke, letting me down into a tunnel. Continuing my course from this point and attempting to distinguish which one of the buildings was the Science Building, I bumped into a fire pot or incinerator. In passing around this, my foot slipped and I rolled to the bottom of a hill. After again reaching the top of the hill and dodging piles of rubbish, wooden shacks and—oh! I have not time here to mention the several accidents, as it must be nearly time for the commencement exercises. I am at last here. (S.A.T.C. Boy helps papa to chair.) (Enter consumptive looking Commercial senior in cap and gown. Mechanical graduate in overalls, and Chemical graduate with laboratory apron and alarm clock.) Consumptive—Why don't you guys come to our affair of this kind properly dolled up? Chemical—Aw! You just came that way in a black nightgown because your girl in Maggie Murph made you. Consumptive—Naw. I had a cousin once that graduated from Punxuatawney Business College and he wore it. Why can’t I? Mechanical—Oh, we believe that we should dress according to our vocations. For instance, the way they dressed at the Design School Ball the other night. Consumptive—Whatsh’a got that alarm clock for? Chemical—I just slipped out of lab. for a while to come to this shindig and if Hammy gets to talkin’ I’m afraid I’ll go to sleep. (Seniors take seats.) ft.- ISKS 380 1919 THE THISTLE ('heminti—AVhere’s King (ieorge tonight? Con sum pH re Over coaching the Junior bookkeepers in Basketball. I guess. Mechanical—Where did he learn to play? Chemical—At his summer home in Canada, I guess. Consumptive—I notice one Colonel here tonight. Where’s the other one, the big boy? Mechanical—Oh. lie’s over giving the Maggie Murphs P. T., I guess. Consumptive Have you noticed that Silk Hat O’llary goes around in a cap these days? What’s the matter? Mechanical- I guess Hammy swiped his derby. Say, 1 notice the new Secretary is doing a lot of publicity work around here—talking a lot about moving the gym over next to the old “Y” hut and such stuff. I guess they’re trying to attract the proper sort of fellows here all right. Arthur (eloquently)—STI’DEXTS and FRIENDS of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, I am indeed happy to see so many of you before me at this, our annual Commencement. I have attended all of the graduation exercises held at this Institute to date and it is indeed a pleasure to witness one more. It is as if another leaf had been added to the family tree, another chapter written in the history of our Institute of Technology. The Carnegie Institute of Technology is indeed proud of her young men who went forth from their books (S.A.T.C. Roy struts up and down the stage) and shed their life’s blood upon the fields of glory, and she is also proud of those who perspired and swore on flagstaff hill. They are indeed typical of this institution. They indicate what is that spirit, that aim. that sublime purpose, which unites us all as zealous workers in a common cause. I am indeed happy to note a difference in the appearance, the bearing, the physique of our graduates this year. It is proof positive of the efficiency and worth of the system which I have always advocated and which is now a part of the curriculum of the Carnegie Institute of Technology—I speak of Military Science and Physical Training. (Violent fit of coughing from Consumptive.) I note but one of our many graduates who is not of a robust constitution. Here, indeed, must be an exception. My good young fellow, how do you account for your run-down condition? Consumptive Oh! I caught consumption after taking P. T. without a bath. Arthur—’Twas ever thus. A man in my position must have much opposition and many of the persons will not agree with me in my policies concerning this institution. How many of you do not agree with me in these policies? (All Seniors eagerly raise their hands.) I sec that there are a few of you who do not agree with me. No doubt I have many enemies among you. Many of you think me wrong and perhaps utterly unfitted for the position of trust and honor which I hold. It is as my dearly beloved friend, Judge Buffington, would say, “Quod erat demonstrandum.” A famous American statesman once said, “I would rather be right than be President.” —but I am President. (Hard-boiled Fnsign comes on stage chasing a penny which he has been pitching in the hall.) 1919 1THE THISTLE illgilllS II-H Ensign—Want to shake some dice, Ilammy? l'ather of S.A.T.C. Hog—Who is that person? S.A.T.C. Hog—Oh! that’s one of these rough-neck ensigns, working over here on the silo. Arthur—When you men go forth from this institution, I want you to be guided by the high ideals, the excellent examples and, I hope, the beautiful surroundings which have followed you through your career at the Carnegie Institute of Technology. I might point out to you as an example a man whom you all know, John Honus Wagner, better known to us all, I suppose, as Hans. I have seen this man a countless number of times on Forbes Field gamboling about and I want to say to you that I have never seen him do or say anything unbecoming a gentleman. (Hans gets to his feet, picks up chair and swings it around a few times, then straddles it and begins.) Hans—Ladies and Gentlemen, it is certainly a pleasure to have been here this year with you and with the boys. They’re a fine bunch of boys and I’m going to make a fine team out of them and I want you to all come out to watch them. If the girls was to play I know every last man and boy would be out to watch ’em, so why don’t some of the girls come out to watch the fellows? I’m out there to have the boys play ball and if they can’t play I’m goin’ to learn them how and some of these days you’re goin' to watch us lick our friends up on the hill. And I thank you one and all for your kind at tention. (Chemical's alarm clock goes off on stage.) Chemical- Heaven’s sake. I’ve got to go back to the lab. (Gets up and rushes off stage.) Arthur- You men have all spent at least four years here- some of you much more, and have burned the midnight oil. your books and your slide-rules—and the time has come for you to graduate. It is altogether fitting and proper that you should graduate; but in another sense, this institution has placed a stamp upon you far above my poor power to add or detract. I cannot give you a diploma. It is true that you came to school to get one and have worked for one, but I do not think that the time is ripe for your receiving it. However, I feel that you should in some way be compensated for the work which you have done here and so, out of the fullness of my own heart, I am presenting each one of you with one hundred United Cigar Coupons. (Hands out coupons and is congratulating graduates when loud roar is heard without.) Chorus—What’s that noise!!! Chemical (rushing in)—Science School has just slid over the hill. Chorus—Thank God!!!

Ambitions—To raise strikes. Line to the rushed ones We have the best national here at Tech. Of course we don't have any publicity bureau because we can tell everyone. It is worth the little walk to become a Sigma Nu, and we serve lunch even when there is I . 'I'. THETA XI When founded—In the dark ages. Colors—Baby blue and black. National— First. Number Wait until the finals. Motto—Sow the pledge buttons. Flower—('auliflower. Yell—Theta Xi, Yes, you bet! We’re Tech's better set. Ambitions—To control the basketball team. They gained much favor at the Junior Prom, by volunteering an orchestra. They seem to have a weakness for the M. M. girls. It is said that they chose their location for a home on this account only. Scholarship means nothing to these gladiators of society. ZETA LAMBDA EPSILON When founded—Since dress suits made their appearance. Colors Green and greener. Motto—There is strength in numbers. Number of men— They outstep all calculations. Flower—Gold Medal. Yell—We are neither there nor here, Zeta Lambda Epsilon, Charlie, give us beer. Local— -Only until the S. A. E. Convention.

Colors—Mud blue and nicotine. Number of men—2 cartoonists, 2 past editors, 15 flunkers, 12 not rated. National—Ever since they left Woodlawn Alley. Flower—Flowers of sulphur. Yell They are too young to have one. Ambitions—To try everything once. These youngsters have a cave located somewhere in the suburbs. They are true Americans, being made up of all classes of society. Popularity is their main object in lile. They even have their own fashion model (a sophomore). Their hardest work this year was to keep Edward separated from mother. WOODLAWN CLUB When founded—Not yet. Colors— Peroxide blonde. Local—Yes, as yet. Number of men- 7 sixteen; the rest younger. Motto— Feed the High Authorities a good line. Flower- The cheapest. Yell—Profane. Ambitions—To be like (ieorge. A word of explanation is necessary. The name was chosen in honor of their former home on Woodlawn Alley. The pin is shapeless, cannot be pawned, and is therefore not a good fraternity pin. XI SIGMA UPSILON When founded—When Adam wore short pants. Colors—The red flag forever. Number- Seven come eleven. Motto—May Charlie Kurtz stay in business forever. Flower—Clover (club). Local—As far as Oakland. Yell—It is not necessary. Ambition—Aimless. 'Phe boys were very patriotic, being well represented in the S. A. T. C. They all took an active part in the fight for democracy; some even in drying up the country. The pledge pins of the Xi Sigs are nice and large; they remind one of an inverted dish-pan. SIGMA RIIO When founded—Never was. Colors—All of Paas' Easter egg dyes. Number of men—They are pledged so fast no record can be kept. Local—(Now and forevermore). Flower—Buckwheat. Motto -Safety First. (Think it over). Ambition—To get a shack. It is said that they are considering pledging co-eds next year; the idea only gained its inception this year. ( 339 ] 1919 THE THISTLE TAU (1AM1MA PHI When founded— 11 will he next rear. Local—What?

The Tau Gams transferred their headquarters to a grand palace on Forbes Street. One good brother was heard to remark that the rats are even troublesome in the daytime.

THIS THISTLE Somethin’ Real Comic By “GOSII” IT was on a balmy clay in March—I forget what particular clay of the month, but really between you and me that is of little or no consequence now—and I was sitting in my office in the Division of er— ah— rum . . bless me, I forget which division, but, well . . seated in my office, as I was saying, surrounded by the tools of my art, so to speak—books, papers, rubber stamps, perforations, pieces of paper, blotting pads, alluvial deposit, patent fasteners, and other interesting knick-knacks—when a timid but persistent knocking at the door (my office has two doors you must understand, but one of them is permanently barricaded on both sides)—-a timid but persistent knocking at the door, as I was saying, prompted me to call out in my usual stentorian tones, COME IN”! This I did. twice or thrice, when the door opened silently just far enough to admit a tall, gracefully built figure of a man—a lieutenant in His Majes ... I should sav in the United States Navy, if his golden bars did not deceive me—who, bowing as lie approached, with that urbane and exquisite courtesy the meaning of which is known only to a few, finally came at attention immediately facing me and looking me calmly, fearlessly, straight in the pupil of my game eye, said, said he, “Professor Gosh, Sir! We do most respectfully reejuest that you write something for publication in our annual whistle to the public of Pittsburgh and elsewhere, the name of which publication is I am sure already only too well known to you. Sir! Professor!” Says 1, Something serious? Says he, Oh no. Sir, Professor Gosh, on the contrary quite, somethin' real comic!” “Ah!” says I, “That is different, is it not! Something real comic, eh? Well now, what would you suggest? Of course I know why you picked on me, a man of leisure, er----!” “Ycssir, Professor, that was it, Sir. You see, Sir, you are so entirely free- refreshingly free, if 1 may put it that way, Sir—from Departmental interferences, if I may call them so. Sir, and then it has been noticed that you are here almost every day, Sir, and often on Sundays, looking about sadly for something to do. Sir—and it did seem so 'opeless. Sir! So we thought . . . why yes, Sir, as you suggest, Sir, as an act of kindness to you. Sir . . . Oh, don’t mention it! I assure you! Not at all. Sir, not at all, huh! huh! huh! You are that comic. Professor! Thunk you Sir! Good m'm'm'. Oh, but before I go. Sir —no, no, don't thank me again, Sir—before I go. Sir, could you—could you, tell us something definite about the date that school closes this year? We have heard. Sir— it has been rumored—that some misguided individual has hinted that owing to what he has called the terrible nervous strain under which we carried on last Fall, it has been suggested that the closing date should be set as early as possible this year. Professor Gosh, there must be some mistake somewhere, some terrible misunderstanding! Why, Professor, the S. A. T. ('. work was just like one long, long vacation to us students, Sir. The air on the campus was so charged with ozone and everything that really the effects were sometimes almost more than we could bear—and will last some of us a life 1919 [ 346 ] THE THISTLE time at least. Many and many a time when we woke in the morning and the sun’s rays were filtering into our barrack sheds— filtering through the ozone and everything on the campus we said with one accord, almost like an Anthem, Professor: “Surely this must be Atlantic City!” And you will remember how we worked, Sir, and e’er ate, and e’er, how our expanding muscles used to fairly bust the buttons off our uniforms during drill. Sir! Such vigor it was. Sir! Why, even now Prof, some of us are almost too robust to study at all, and you will realize that some of this must be knocked out of us before we are let loose on the public. Ordinary men wouldn’t stand a chance with us, now would they? “Let us beg you, therefore, to use your influence, small as it is. Sir, to keep open the doors of our beloved Tech a little longer—say until the hot weather of July and August has had a chance to take some of it out of us. Ah! I certainly do fear to contemplate what tin effects of a cool summer might be.” “Well now. Loot,” says I, “you just tell the rest of the boys that I'll certainly do what 1 can for them. And I'm so glad we've had this chat. It strengthens my own convictions, and comforts me . and then again, as you so kindly suggested, it gives me some- thing to do, something to think about, which is what I have so sorely needed to keep me from running to seed. I had begun to fear that there would be no really good excuse for my staying in Pittsburgh during the summer this year, and that, as you know, would be very trying to me, very trying indeed. Good m’m’nv. . . Oh, just a moment, Loot! When did you say this comical stuff must be ready for the press? Oh, Ah, yes! not later than the fifth of April. Very kind of you I’m sure. Thank you! Good morning!” We promised not to tell who submitted this; bill if you ever heard about “my home in Canada,” you know.—Editok. I W I 1919 Hr THE THISTLE SOMK M. M.

Stolen bases—Butch Lundell ( ()( : all the men let Butch steal the bases because of his speed. Assists The scorer couldn’t record them. Sacrifice hits—-The whole team was about evenly balanced: they sacrificed to the other team. Bunts The team was made up of so many sluggers it was difficult for them to bunt. However, it was hard to distinguish between their hits and bunts. Loading batter Shorty Matter—almost Bon Ami: never scratched a hit. Leading umpire baiter—Jay Huffman first, with Lefty Abrams a close second. Lofty should have been first, but his quiet, retiring manner caused most of his tactics to be unnoticed by the spectators. Leading bench-warmer This position was ably held by Bed Oakley. 11 is services during the cold spells at the beginning of the season were invaluable. Assistant coach—Windy Lynn (miff said).

The members of the Board performed their work faithfully and excellently, and it Gage, that the publication of the Year Book was made possible. The various details of the copy used were gathered from many different sources—some and, on this account it has been entirely impracticable to publish the names of all of the authors. And so, my dear Fellow-Sufferer in the Halls of Learning, if you struggled profusely over some bit of copy for the book only to find that your name has been thoughtlessly omitted in these pages, do not lay that omission up against us for the rest of time. We shall have enough regrets as it is. The art work speaks for itself. We are indeed more fortunate than our brother editors in other colleges, in having an Art School which is the source of real art and humor for the Year Book. The snapshots used throughout the book came largely from the Staff Photographer. W. It. Hamilton, although we are indebted to Mr. Gage for the photographs of the Drama Department and to William M. Myler, former Editor-in-Chief, for flash-lights of the Design Ball, and to various anonymous donors for miscellaneous snaps. For the efficient administration of the financial affairs of TIIE THISTLE we arc indebted to the Business Manager and a capable corps of assistants. The result of their efforts does not appear in the pages of the book; and yet it is a most necessary and important part of the work. from the pens of the members of Thistle Board and some from our friends in the school; THE EDITOR. 1919 sense ■S'v WA Ilf M®iS 'j wkv3 '' '' :iM � 'V Sw “‘ � � ««? £• The above is a snapshot of the Calendar Editor’s office.
