Copyright 1921 JOHN G. BYLKR Kditor-iu-Chicf a THE THISTLE F O R E W O R D WE have endeavored in these pages to present a few pictures to recall the good times and associations enjoyed by all at Carnegie during the year 1941. If, in the days and years to come, this book may help bridge the gap, and brighten the memory of days at dear old Tech, we shall feel that our labor has not been in vain. The Editors 0 iMsi 5 1921 Heiitrateii In thr fflmnry of fttisfl Jfrattrra (Camp parry In Memoriam TIIIC sudden death of Miss Frances Camp Parry, after a short illness, is one of the gravest misfortunes which has come to the school. As head of the Department of English, which she herself had organized and many members of which she had selected, Miss Parry was unceasing in her efforts to make the path straighter for both student and teacher; and not only to make it straighter, but to light it with purpose. “To know when one is interested oneself, is the first condition of interesting other people. The observation may explain in part Miss Parry’s very unusual success as a teacher; and it may further be said of her that she had a perfect understanding of what true and permanent causes it most concerns human beings to be interested in. Certainly, no one was more aware than she that the teacher’s highest privilege is to turn the emotions of youth in the direction of the Ideal. Miss Parry had splendid faith in the school. From her own treasures of spirit she enriched its life; and its meaning and aims came brightly from her lips. Iler influence spread from her classroom and her division, and was present through the entire institution. And as she was so much a part of its life, and the school was so much a part of hers, it was fitting that she should be buried from its halls, that the President should give the address at parting, and that the members of her staff should bear her away down the long aisles of her students.

As Freshmen we had to sleep on army hunks in the Gym. Remember the day we all broke Plelx regulations? I'll say we do, and oh my, when the Sophomores got us! As Sophomores we kept the Plebes in step, as is shown by the character of their Freshmen songs. Although doubly outnumbered, we did it. In our Junior year we returned depleted in numbers, but full of our characteristic jx p. Barefoot dancing was initiated, and we liecame so proficient that some of us were induced to enter the theatrical world. The big event, The Junior From —it couldn’t help but lx a wonderful success.

Z 3 48 1921 THE THISTLE Senior Class History—Science MOST of t he Senior Classes have either “shuffled into Tech, four years ago” as “a big, self-conscious, clumsy galoot” or have come as “agentle, innocent lamb to the slaughter.” The Class of 1921 did neither of these. A part of it came to Tech in the fall of 1915—yes, the year of the football team and the remainder have been coming ever since. We have not only battled Sophomores, put on a successful banquet at the “Pines,” but have also struggled through the memorable days of the R. (). '1'. C. Who will ever forget the battle we fought on Flagstaff Ilill? We sometimes wondered whether the boys along the Allied battle line were fighting fiercer battles than the ('lass of 1921 fought during that first year. In the fall of 1918 we returned to Tech hoping to be high and mighty “Sophs” but only to find that we were a part of the S. A. T. C. and as such had about as much authority as number four buck private in the rear rank. It was not until the opening of our Junior year that we learned to know something of the joys and privileges of the unhampered college student. Our ranks, which had dwindled to a comparatively low number at the end of our Sophomore year, had l een considerably swelled by men returning from long periods of service overseas. Our campus, which had been littered with sheds, barracks, and army trucks, once more assumed the appearance of a college campus. Just to prove to the Seniors and underclassmen that the then Junior Class was awake and had “come into its own” there was held at the Schcnlev Hotel one of the most successful “Proms” in years. At last the long looked for day came when we registered as Seniors. Not until this time have we realized to the fullest extent what “Dear Old Tech” means to us and what it has done for every one of us. It is with a heavy heart that we leave the doors of our Alma Mater to attack the problems which now confront us. May the principles for which our founder, Andrew Carnegie, stood be forever before us and may they guide each member of the (’lass of 1921 on a useful and upright journey through life. 1921 49 THE THISTLE Senior Class Officers —Division of the Arts Robert Edwajrd Dark Willi ah i) James Perkins Mary Frances Murdock John G.

[Ms 50 1921 THE THISTLE Senior Class History—Arts WITH all the hesitancy and retirement becoming to youth and high mental development, the members of the Class of 1021 are making their debut as Bachelors of Arts. Wishing to live unnoticed and in seclusion, devoting more time to our art and souls in the privacy of Design School halls, we plead, but unavailing, to have our degrees withheld just one more year at least. But the faculty, having at heart the outside world, insist that they confer upon us this degree at once and send us forth with their blessing to use our influence for the betterment of the public's soul. As arguments, they point out the superiority of mind found in all departments. There are the drama students—the thinkers in free verse. Only stop to consider the elevation and enjoyment awaiting the public for the next fifteen or twenty years furnished by the presentation of the dull and dusty Ibsen and Maeterlinck dramas. The play-going public could not help but be refreshed through the release of such talent. Then the music students, oh, here we have all the vivacity, the inspiration, the source of all interest in activiticsand enthusiasm, the one group of people in the school life who have meant more than all others combined. And architecture—these men of brains have so developed their genius, that, were it not for limited trade caused by lack of appreciation of these attributes, this country would soon be unrivaled in architectural fame. They have, themselves, through serious application of thought, found at last where the Greeks and Romans made their mistakes and how they could improve on all things that have gone before. And last, but not least, those painters and decorators. Those workers, who, while accomplishing much in their art, have done more than all this in moral training. Besieged on all sides by temptations, pitfalls and unscrupulous Bohemians, these few Seniors have come forth from battle—victorious! So, feeling it our duty and having it thus thrust upon 11s, we resignedly take our place in the world as better influences and share with those less fortunate these attributes acquired by four long years of serious application. 1921 51 SEa kvlLs THE THISTLE Senior Class Officers—Industries James Jefferson Kudisill William Dolliff Hall William Thomas Mantell William Seitz IIug President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer JAMES JEFFERSON Rl'DISILL, “Rudy B.S., Printing York, Fa.

Following our cordial reception at the hands of the Sophomores, and a year of their dominating rule, came the news of our qualification to the Carnegie Clan and the addition of another link. Then came the call to colors and was quickly responded by our members. During the war little history was made at school, while much was done in service. When the armistice was signed many of our members came back to renew their unfinished school work. It was a serious drawback to have stayed away so long and to begin anew. Few of our members have not returned but the record they made with those who did come back will never be forgotten. The Soph banquet, Junior prom, and Freshman smokers are things of the past, and we are now finishing up our preparation of the past years. It remains to be seen what we can accomplish in our adventure through life but whatever it may be, “we will be there. 1921 THE THISTLE ETHEL ANDERSON, “Andy’’ B.S., Social Work Holton, Lancashire, England Elmira College Athletic Association (3, 4); M.M.

How well our Sophomores know it, but, oh, bow much more our Freshmen feel it! On the day of our succession to Sophomoreship, all old vows to “Ik easy” on the Freshmen were forgotten and all pent-up feelings of our own year of misery were released doubly strong on the heads of the Freshmen. Every day was seen the power of our mighty class—some damsel in distress, her hair flying loosely about her. every hair free to the breezes and looks that could easily freeze us, or every few hairs a braid and looks that could worlds upbraid. Hut even such thoughts and l M ks must often give way to moments of pleasure when the Freshmen recall our dance to them. What a difference a nice dance will make! Speaking of dances reminds me of our own Soph Hop that we had on the 22nd of February! To the strains of lively, breezy music, amid a profusion of timely decorations, our pretty maidens and handsome men could be seen whirling away on the wings of happiness. Oh. how good it felt to be a Soph then, and even now the thoughts of it make me want to Ik a Soph “hopping again. Hut here our history does not end. Great was the pride and joy in the hearts of all our class when our striking performance “And the Villain Still Pursued Her” was given. What genius and talent were blazed upon the world that day! What fun and laughter rang through the halls!

M. D. THE Class of 1924, everyone must admit, is a charming assemblage of young ladies. While it has not so many members as former Plebe classes, nevertheless, what it lacks in quantity is more than made up in quality. We may be few but we are well chosen. Our history begins with September 26th—Registration Day. Nothing serious happened, although we were all prepared for the worst. On the 27th, school officially began. At noon the Sophomores summoned us to a meeting and told us how we were to apj car the next day. Wednesday morning, we went to classes attired as we were ordered; our hair down in pig-tails, our faces bare of all cosmetics, and our gowns adorned with vegetable corsages. We were then paraded down to General Assembly in Carnegie Music Hall, accompanied by much staring from all sides. From that day forward, however, the Lofty Ones treated us as well as could Ik exjjected, except those of our numbers who broke PLEBE REGULATIONS. Then, about the middle of November, we nominated and elected our class officers. The choice we made was excellent and we have a splendid group of girls at the head of our class organization. Thanksgiving offered a delightful rest from sehoolwork but after we turned our thoughts to serious affairs looming up on the horizon—exams. The gloom of this period was slightly alleviated by a tea for the Plebes given by the Freshmen cooking classes, a Y. W. C. A. Christmas party, and the Guild Bazaar in which some of the Freshmen took part. Following this little gleam of sunshine through the dark clouds, the curtain of gloom was again lowered. A frightened Plebe might l c seen at any hour of the day devouring a textbook and nervously chewing a pencil, meanwhile devoutly hoping the end might come quickly and painlessly. This state of affairs lasted from the 11th to the 18th of December, following which we all went home to await the coming of Santa Claus. After two weeks of unadulterated joy, when not even grades came home to spoil our pleasure, we returned once more to our halls of learning, on the 4th of January. This year we have fully determined to prove how good we can Ik? and what an asset to the school we are. g PT 1921 ----------- 118 THE THISTLE OFFICERS Marjory Cook . Joyce J. Miles . Mildred Lucas .

They were as brothers firmly united, staunch and stern. However in their newness and wisdom of the bal es, they were woefully oppressed and persecuted by an even stronger band, the Sophomorites, who dwelt in the halls of the same country. Yet even in this oppression did the young warriors of this new race valorously strive to throw off the yoke. In the skirmish of the Banquet, six of the enemies were taken prisoners and tortured with ribald songs and stinging butter patties. Other enemies made themselves evident and in secret conclaves planned the downfall of the new race. And they were the Faculty. Many was the strong man that fell by the wayside, victims of the nefarious schemes of the insidious Faculty. But as time slipped by, the remnants of the race found new born strength to combat these common enemies and at length a compact was made and jreuce settled upon the land. Having survived the trials and tribulations of the beginning and withstood the tests of courage and valor administered by the Faculty and Sophomores, the New Race emerged pure, virile, strong. And now entered younger generations of people, gathered together likewise to receive the benediction of knowledge. They were noisy and capricious. The Valiant race compelled them to turn their coats wrong-side-inward and to constrain their pants to the knee. In this disguise, they were paraded for the warning of all strangers who had not respect of the proper magnitude for the Valiant Ones. Again the Affair d' Banquet—and the younger ones were suffered to run hither and thither and inquire of their President who was reposing under the noble weight of one chef and two Sophomores. As the Valiant Ones progressed, the desire for the blood of the younger races vanished and the hunger and thirst after knowledge seized the minds and hearts of the Pilgrims. The great hardships of the journey—Calculus and Mechanics—were passed,yet. the way was still long and the failings often. The weaker still fell to the diseases of Facultyitis and Vampitis, the grey spectre of F s was always with them. And now there exists, strong and firm, this band of determined pilgrims to the land of knowledge and order of degrees. Victorious over all obstacles—content to know that knowledge is all-powerful, willing, ambitious, ever-ready, striving, struggling, yet ever ready to help and instruct in the things that will make mankind letter, smiling always, laughing sometimes—working, fighting to the finish and making all finishes good—Science Class of ’22—“three-quarters of the way there. 122 1921 THE THISTLE OFFICERS II.

And did we learn? Well, you just examine the record of the (Mass of 1928! As Plebcs, we showed ’em what real pep is. We entered into activities, both class and school and though our numl ers were somewhat decreased, as the year wore on directly as the square of the time—nothing would discourage us, and the Tech traditions suffered none. Witness the Plebe Banquet—don’t ask for a description—which was held at that very estimable establishment known as “The Pines” where the Sophomores couldn’t find us. As further evidence we submit Poverty Day, and, best of all, the “humdinger” of a time we had round about Qualification Day. Boy, but wasn’t that campus covered with artistic designs in the form of ’28 and “To where with the Sophs”. When we returned this year we found that some of us had not survived the Plelx year, but that didn’t discourage us any, and so we set about to welcome the incoming Plebcs in true Tech style—with open arms and a paddle. Later.to prove further our brotherly feeling toward the Plel� es, we offered our services to make their banquet a complete success. 'Phis was done in the form of donating the use of two box cars as waiting-rooms and water and bricks as favors. Needless to say our pains were greatly appreciated. This raised the spirit of the (Mass to its highest pitch and consequently our own banquet came off with a bang. The good work thus started has been kept up and as each day passes we realize more and more fully our duties toward Tech. We have pledged ourselves to do our utmost to continue her traditions, both in school and out, and it is to that end that we are working. It is our desire to see Tech on top, and one of our greatest ambitions to aid in placing her there. Our history so far has proven that the Science Class of ’28 has that spirit known as Tech jx‘p, and that with us it is, “Tech, now and forever”. 1921 THE THISTLE OFFICERS Chester C.

Some of them are moving lumber, some are carrying everything from trunks to pianos, and some are pushing peanuts with their noses; some look sad, some look glad, and they all look as though they will never forget it. Everyone knows of when I speak, the latter part of September, 1920, and the Plebes were being taught the virtues of Tech spirit. And didn't it mortify us to march by the girls with our coat on backwards, our black sock well displayed, and the Tech “omelet on our heads. The trouble gone to by the big, thoughtful. Sophomores, to welcome the new Plelies, was l eing forcefully appreciated. When things quieted down, and a Plel e was sure that he would arrive at the place he started for, even though he didn't go to his own liking, things began to happen. (Mass officers were elected and almost immediately there were whis| erings among the Sophomores that the Plebes were going to “pull” something. SI III! just l cfore Thanksgiving came the Plel� e Banquet and it was the greatest event of the year. When the Sophomore president disappeared their suspicions were changed to certainty and for four long days there was worry written on each Sophomores’ face. Finally, on the day itself, they found out the “when and where”of the affair and partly hindered its complete success by using box cars as “Havens of Rest” for the Plel es who attempted to enter the Banquet room. They finally rescued their classmate, as he, bound hand and foot, was being carried into the hotel on a stretcher. Then the Plebes were released and the affair went along smoothly, breaking up with manifestations of great friendship between the two classes. The Plebe Smoker and the Plebe Dance, which were held in the Union, were both fine affairs. The ( lass established a new precedent in that so few of them left us at the end of the first quarter. Now, we are well on our way to prove that we had the right to shout “Tech”, during the first few days of our college life. 126 zSs 1921 THE THISTLE OFFICERS Thomas N. Griggs President Frank B.

Referring to our Interclass activities, our first successful undertaking as Plel es was the kidnapping of the Sophomore President, who, much to his displeasure, was detained while his brother classmates were dining and making merry. In the matter of new innovations, we will look with pride upon the Windsor ties to be worn by the Plebes of later years, as this artistic neckpiece was distinctly put in vogue at our suggestion. So far this year we have had one Class Dance in Design School and you will not have three guesses to answer who it was that satisfied the whims of the rest of the artists.

Ours was the first class of Plebes after the war, but we sure did have war during our first year! Then,as Sophomores, we continued to have war. Campus week was a glorious week for us, and after many struggles, etc., we brought the Plebes to recognize the importance of Qualification Day. One of our latest Sophomore activities was the now historical and famous banquet. We were well represented in athletics and our noble President, “Red” (iodden, led the football team which defeated W.

This picture represents the kindly faces of the Sophomore Class of Industries. Freshman, being young and, therefore, inexperienced, cannot read beneath our veiled faces and many times there has been great excitement and worry caused among them by some little rumor that the horrible Sophs are on the rampage. We are fortunate in having a good Plebe Class, by that we mean one that is as green, if not greener, than any other Plebe Class entering Tech. However, l e that as it may, we are endeavoring through tlie medium of P. R. to instill some life, learning and love for Dear Old 'Lech into them. At times our work seems hopeless and all for naught but now and then we are cheered by the Plebes showing up in true Tech Spirit. It was painful for us to view the way P. R. treated the Plebes the first of the year, but we soon got over it. P. U. said, “Plebes must not walk or talk with members of the opposite sex while on the campus”. This made our Plebes think that Design “wimmen and Maggie Murph's were not the class that nice little boys should associate with. They soon found out the fallacy of this and then they really felt the tang of one of P. R.’s dreadful laws. To sum up our activities with the Plebes, we might say that after all they have turned out to be the right sort and are now our best friends even though the paddle and clippers did come between us at times. We have many in our midst who represent Tech in athletics, and the class is there when it comes to “Campusology” and “Sehenleyology”. We can run dances better than anyone else and ask our Pleljes about our success as Smoker promoters. Of course we are not conceited but we think we can pick out the l est Sophomore Class ever in Industries by merely touching ourselves on the back. 1921 140 THE THISTLE C. Fisher OFFICERS President S.

Under (Vs able leadership we soon had plans perfected for a sumptuous banquet, and a dance to the Sophs. We were deciding upon the most propitious time to hold these functions when we received an invitation from the Sophs to a smoker. During the interest this invitation aroused, our plans were momentarily lost sight of. Imagine the Sophs, whose only pleasure seemed to be to torment us innocent Plebes, giving us a smoker. We had our doubts as to their sincerity in this matter, but they were soon allayed by the Soph President who guaranteed us a good time, adding that we could wear our red socks and purple ties to boot. 'Phe smoker took place in due course and came up to our highest expectations. In fact we enjoyed this smoker so thoroughly that we decided we had had enough enjoyment to last us through the Fall Quarter, and consequently postponed our smoker and dance ’til the next quarter.

Believing that our interests could Ik better served by some sort of an organization. The Federal Board (Mill) was formed in the spring of 1919. Like all new organizations, we were handicapped with many difficulties, but having men in the club who were trained to work together, these difficulties were eventually overcome. Our aim has been to work together for the common cause; to foster the love and ideals of our Alma Mater; to promote interest in social and sc1um 1 activities; and to form a close connecting link l etween the faculty and meml ers of the student body. How well we have succeeded is attested by the fact that we now have an organization of several hundred members, all of whom take an active interest in the club and school affairs. W.

The fees were raised but hardly a man denied the justice of the raise. The schedule was taken to pieces and put together again, and although it appeared to some that when reconstructed there were several pieces left over, this effect will undoubtedly disappear after a thorough trial. Undeniably the schedule change and abolition of the various years will work toward unification of the student body. The replacement of five separate organizations which formerly existed by the one present organization will bring the new men into immediate contact with those of wider experience in the school work and give them a quicker sense of their responsibility to the school. It is hoped also that the past year will have seen a final settlement of the question of the activities fees in the Night School. The result of the vote on that question is not known at the time of writing but will be known long before this appears in print. That the participation of the Night School student body in student activities will be for the benefit of the students and of the school seems to be a question riot open to argument, and it is hoped that the final vote will justify this view. Nothing spectacular in the way of student functions was accomplished in the year, but should this be expected of a group working overtime, particularly when they do not get paid the usual time-and-a-half for it!' The annual banquet was, however, a success, especially in point of attendance, and should not pass unnoticed. In conclusion it might be said that those who are graduating this year look back on a period of remarkable growth in the school. They cannot but hope that this growth will continue and that the school will Ik able to expand physically as well. Tech spirit should grow at the same time for only thereby can the best be obtained both in the actual class-room work, and in that broad knowledge which contact with other experienced men will give. KftS 1921 loo OFFICERS Leonard Broida C. W. Vaughn Mae Sweeney Rose Bruce President I ’ice-P resident Treasurer Secretary sste £SS 156 1921 THE THISTLE Night School History—Arts There is great joy in striving to overcome the force of circumstances and the odds that arc against many of us in obtaining an education, and we, the night students of the Division of the Arts, fully realize this truth. We arc here because we do not want to become sluggards in the race, losing sight of our ambitions and ho) es of success, but rather to equip ourselves for a place in life's “Forward March ! We are earnestly endeavoring to make the best of the splendid opportunity we have of going on with the work we hope to make our vocation or avocation, and still get a great deal of real enjoyment out of going to school at night. Night School in the Division of the Arts has increased rapidly in numbers within the past two years, and our organization likewise. The first real Night School Assembly was held December 2, 1920, in the Little Theater and an organization formed that promises to be a real factor in the affairs of Carnegie Tech. More interest was shown in student activities by the large attendance at this Assembly than ever before, and it is hoped that this evidence of interest will Ik a lasting one. A great deal of credit for the success of this Assembly is due Mr. Karl Weber, night student in Architecture, who for several years has acted as president of the student body, and who has largely been responsible for the progress of our organization. Although there are only a few who will Ik graduated from night school this year, yet these few are a credit to Carnegie Tech, for it is no easy matter to successfully complete a night course in the Division of the Arts. The classes now enrolled in each department, consisting of first to fourth year students, are larger than those of previous years and there is prospect of a larger number of graduates for next year than ever before. We sincerely hope that our efforts to Ik active in the affairs of Carnegie Institute of Technology may prove to be of some avail and act as a stimulus to other night classes that will take our place in the Division of the Arts. 1921 THE thistle Night School History—Industries IN the fall of 1917 a great aggregation of young, amhitous men enrolled for study in the Night Industrial School. The first year we applied ourselves to the task of getting acquainted with our fellow students, our work, and the traditions of the school. School life, however, was greatly hampered by the prevailing war spirit. Our second year’s work was also broken into. This time the army itself occupied the school and as you can imagine lit tie school work was done. The third year we started with a “bang”. Pep reigned throughout the year; a night school dance was successfully held in the Union. Our fourth and last year has been well occupied with work and play. In summing up our four years’ work at Tech, we would say that the friendships and the memories we have created have been among the greatest benefits we have received. !921 51 158 ATH LtTI C3 THE THISTLE Wearers of the “C” FOOTBALL H.

McGill, Manager 1921 161 THE THISTLE Athletic Council The Athletic Council of Carnegie Tech, although new, has taken a very important and active part in the further development of athletic activity generally in spite of the fact that it is hardly more than a year old. The Council is composed of a representative group from all of the branches of the School as follows: Three members from the Faculty Three members from the Student Body Two members from the (Icnernl Alumni Federation Two members from the Varsity Clan and The Graduate Manager. Athletic activities, previous to the formation of the Athletic Council, were under the control and suj crvision of the Executive Committee of the Athletic Association and while the efforts put forth by this body were of the most sincere type, the body was continually changing in meml ership in such a manner that there could not help but be a lack of continual policy. This condition could not help but reduce to a very great extent the effectiveness of the work of this Committee. In view of this condition the students and alumni started a movement to put the athletic organization on a permanent business-like basis which would result in handling the athletic affairs in much the same way that a business corporation would handle its affairs. The new Athletic Council came into existence in the early part of the year of 1940 through the eontinued efforts of not only the alumni and student body but also of the faculty, the administration and everyone who was interested in the furtherance of giving to Carnegie Tech a continuous athletic policy which would thereby generally raise the standards of the athletic program and inter-collegiate competition. One of the points especially desired was the inter-relation of athletic and scholastic activity, in order to avoid the condition which has been almost continuously existent since the organization of Carnegie Tech, during which time no attempt was made to perfect an arrangement to provide scholastic and coaching aid to athletes. It is a matter of tradition and precedent 3gS5 102 1921 THE THISTLE that the curriculum of Carnegie Tech is among the hardest of any educational institution and it seems to have l een generally accepted l� y the public that Carnegie Tech would always have teams who would put forth the very maximum of effort and would be able to put on the field hard fighting and courageous small teams but would be unable because of the rigid scholastic requirements to take its place among the really big teams of the country. This theory has liecn quite effectively disproven in the past season ami it is the sincere hope of the Council that the coming year will show even with greater certainty that Carnegie Tech’s teams can take their place with the leaders. Especially does this condition apply to the future of the Football team. It has ever been the ease iu Coach Wally Steffen’s experience that a green squad came out for the first football tryouts each season. There will be a different story next fall, however, bccauuse at the time of writing everyone of last year's Varsity men are still in school and in good scholastic standing, a condition which heretofore has been entirely unknown ami is without precedent. A short review of the past Athletic year will show that in the Track season of 1940 the la st record in the history of Tech was attained, iu fact a record which under no conditions can be bettered due to the circumstances that every dual meet, five in number, was won. Tech's Tennis team won the championship of Western Pennsylvania and was the l cst net aggregation which ever represented the I’laid, winning twelve out of thirteen starts, the only defeat having been received from the University of Michigan. The Baseball team, under the efficient tutelage of that old National Baseball idol, Honus Wagner, made an excellent record for itself, winning nine out of sixteen starts and tying one game. The Kootludl season, which started ofr in rather bad fashion because of the fact that the squad was practically green, ended with a most successful climax in the defeat of Washington and Jefferson by the score of six to nothing. Generally speaking, a great deal has been accomplished by the new Council but the record of the past is only a start toward what may be done. The co-operation of everyone concerned—Student Body, Alumni. Faculty, Administration and those interested in Tech—is to Ik commended and a furtherance of such interest will insure a continuance of the progress which has been made to date. With all of last year’s Football squad back to take up again the work of defending the honor of the Plaid on tin gridiron, Coach Steffen will have the best opportunity in the history of his connection with the athletics of Tech of producing a really great team. The 1941 Football schedule, which is built up in successive stages with a view of bringing the team up to several climatic points, is very logical for an excellent performance ami without a doubt the eyes of the general public will lx focused on Carnegie Tech next year to a greater extent than has ever existed heretofore. It is interesting to note that under the regime of the new Council several sports, new to Carnegie Tech, have been organize! and excellent foundations for same have been established. Wrestling. Boxing. Swimming and the UiHe teams are among those referred to. The Hockey team also was organized after a lapse of three years, making for itself a very creditable showing. It might lx well at this time also to mention a few words as to the generally accepted duties of the Athletic Council, which are as follows: The election of the Student Managers of the various teams, selection of a graduate manager, hiring of all head coaches, correlating the various athletic and scholastic activities, assuming responsibility for all athletic funds ami above all to provide for a consistent policy of procedure with a view to bringing Carnegie Tech athletics to the very highest possible plane and obtaining for her the recognition of the general public to the excellence of her athletic representatives and teams. 7 5 1921 163 W t THE THISTLE “C” Club The “C” Club was organized this year by members of the Varsity teams. The purpose of the club is to promote a better feeling of fellowship among the members of the Varsity teams and to aid each other in whatever way they can through this organization. All men who have earned a Varsity letter while in school are eligible to meml ership in the club. OFFICERS Harvey R. Hiller Chester C. Braumbaugh Alexander J. Dreux Ray J. Doiierty ....

The squad was composed mostly of freshmen and a good part of the time at camp had to be devoted to fundamental training. Couch Wally Steffen was ably assisted by Coach Hal hidings. These two coaches were able to whip the squad into shape and brought them back to Tech a crippled but determined group of men. When the roll was called we found the veterans to be Captain Goddcn, Irwin, Henderson, Wittmcr and McClean. Added to this experienced group we had some new men who had gained a reputation in Prep Schools and other colleges, such as Rosenhloom. Comfort, Sprinkle, Wierman, Robertson, Brumbaugh and Anderson. Coach Steffen inspired the fighting spirit into these men, and once in the game they were in to win. The team returned to Tech and immediately left for New Haven where they suffered their worst defeat of the year at the hands of the “Vale Bulldog . With renewed efforts and hopes they returned home and defeated Westminster, Grove City, Allegheny and the University of Cincinnati. The hardest half of the schedule remained and the defeats at the hands of Ix -high and Bethany were more than overshadowed by the defeat of W. J. The W. J. game was substituted in place of the Pitt game l ecause of the calling off of athletic relations between the two schools. The team had a capable leader in Captain “Red Godden, but because of a broken ankle he was kept out of the majority of the games. “Red felt so good about being able to finish up the greatest season of Football that Tech has ever witnessed that he made the most spectacular tackle of the game. The game was a great boost for Coach Steffen who already has the reputation around Western Pennsylvania of being one of the best coaches in the country. Men who had not seen the Tech eleven in action l efore this season were loud in their praise of the smooth machine he had built from the material at hand. Coach Steffen wore a smile such as he has never worn before, because he has reached his ambition as coach of Tech’s Football 'ream. With all the men from this year's team back we predict that Steffen will be back to take up the work where lie left off and build an even greater team than this team of all teams. 1921 j] in Yfr AMCltMT CAOJ) TRKKfe pnri j p� uu) p]|7uw mI %yV i‘V S ¥iv fez fHtii.

Last year as an end lie displayed unusual ability in diagnosing and breaking up opponents plays. This year because of a lack of material, the coach was compelled to use “Red” in the backfield -a place which he filled very capably up to the time of his injury which occurred in the third game. He was unable to return until thcclosing minutes of the final game, when lie again exhibited uncanny skill in outguessing his opponents. In doing this he was able to smother the recipient of a forward pass by a deadly tackle, thus obviating the last but nevertheless dangerous chance of a tie score in that famous old NY. J. game. “Red” will be back with us next year and he has our sincere wishes for a season without injuries in which case we know lie will deliver in the true Tech style. C. A. IRWIN. “Ai Captain Elect “Al Irwin. Tech center, was chosen 'aptain of the 11141 football eleven and thereby given the highest honor it is possible for his team-mates to bestow u|H n him. Irwin is the lightest man on the squad but weighs 34 ounces to the pound and is always leading the team in its fighting spirit. During Captain Godden's enforced absence from the line-up last season, he acted as Captain and distinguished himself by his qualities of leadership and cool-headedness. In addition to knowing football from tile ground up, Al has that rare instinct of following the ball and being at the critical place when things are happening there. There is no harder or surer tackier on the team and he has stop-ped Tech's opponents from making many long runs last season. LLOYD COMFORT NVe had heard of “Oy” la-forc he arrived. He had played a tackle on the championship Harrisburg Tech team. Coach Steffen gave him a trial and soon found out that he could hold his own with the best of them. He played his best game against them all. Always putting pep and fight into the squad. With a little more experience Steffen has predicted all American possibilities. “Cv is only a Freshman and great things are expected from him next year. Ar 1921 171 THE THISTLE H. G.

Seldom doing the spectacular, he was always on the job when the occasion demanded, dropping the opposing backs at the end. taking out interference ami getting down under kick. “Ham's favorite pastime was recovering fumbles in the W.

KOSENBLOOM Call for Mistah Roscnblum. “Rosie was the comedian and clown of the jolly crew, not only at training camp on the trip, hut also on the field. You must smile if you look at him. Has he told you about his escapade at la-high? Ask him about it. “Rosie” also has the reputation of being like a sailor who has a female friend in every town. “Rosie came to us from Bucknell and can always be depended upon to play a hard, heady game. He will be back with us again next year, providing all things are free and equal. ALLEN WEIR MAN The little bov in Tech's backfield, who ran away with the ball so often last season, rose very suddenly to a place in Tech history. If he was a big fellow like Rogers or Ilcwett, we wouldn’t wonder, but when a little fellow of 150 pounds runs away with the ball at will, he demands and deserves the attention of every lover of the gridiron sport. Weir-man hails from Sharon High and had played one year at Westminster before coming to Tech. Last year his broken field running marked him as a “star and he proved himself competent to stay with the best. And when Wally Steffen adds his knowledge to Weir man’s natural ability, then will the little fellow in Tech's backfield cover himself with glory. JAMES L. ANDERSON If you want to get in the game, sec “Andy . He was-the one that made the boys forget their troubles on the trips. “Andy” was a man of all-round ability, he could run with the ball a deadly tackier, but Steffen used him chiefly in making interference for Weirman. In this department lie became very proficient and could always be depended upon to take out the opposing ends before they had a chance to break up the play. His long suit was in analyzing and breaking up forward passes. He will In- back next year to show the boys how to play. 1921 Is 173 THE THISTLE □ C. C.

Bruin haugh was Steffen’s first choice for the vacancy ami he completely fulfilled the expectations of his coach. lie threw his 160 pounds at the line, time after time, and if there wasn’t a hole there he made one. Brumbaugh took the trip to the Penn Relays last year ami later won his letter. In addition to his athletic work. Brumbaugh is a first-class student, hitting math like he does the line for all A’s. We look for him to have two more banner years at Tech, l oth in athletics and studies. II. C. HENDERSON “Skitch fulfilled Steffen's predictions of the preceding year and when the season started. “Skitch” was found occupying a regular berth at guard. On the line lie was aggressive and consistent and able to get through almost any line to break up the defense. He was always to be depended upon to do his share and he tackled neatly. “Skitch has an excellent Imild for guard and will In- back next year to lend his aid to “Wally”. HUGH O. SPRINKLE Sprink came from the middle west, where he had played one year for the University of Missouri. He stepped into a Plaid uniform and immediately filled a gap in the line-up, created by Moon not returning to school. Sprink played his first game against Yale and showed that he could stop the terrific onslaught of the Yale Bulldog. “Sprink , besides being the heaviest man on the squad, also showed a desire to mix with the opposite sex. Someone said he made weekly trips to Little Washington. We'll have to look into this, “Sprink . 1921 THE THISTLE JAMES A.

When Jimmie is at his post there is a satisfied feeling in every Teohite. Wallie was right when he said he was one of our most promising players. We are expecting even bigger things from you next year. “Jimmie.” RUSSELL L. PUTMAN Hindered because of his lack of weight, Pittman had to remain on the bench. When he did get into the game he displayed unusual ability with running with the ball and also by his punting. Pittman was well rewarded for all the bumps and knocks he received while with the scrubs, for Coach Steffen started him against W. J. He played a wonderful game up to the middle of the second quarter when In was injured and had to be carried from the field. CHESTER IIABLE The big Plcbc end handled himscl fin a very creditable manner and proved to lira big asset in Tech's football program. His weight and size made it difficult to stop him when he made up his mind to go through. Due to the fact that there were other ends of more experience, liable did not play in as many games as he might have otherwise. He always could be depended upon, and with a little more coaching will strengthen the line in true fashion. HERMAN L.

Before a crowd of 10.000 the “Bulldog bore down upon the Tartan invaders, satisfying its hunger to a score of 44 0. The Plaid eleven were unable to stop the ramming attack just outside of tackle, although the inability of the Tech back to hold the ball gave the “Old Eli” three of their touchdowns. The old Carnegie Tech fight was with the team all the time. When it came to gameness and real fighting,the Skibos took the honors of the day. Captain “Red” Hodden made several sensational runs and although injured continued in the game until the last quarter. Irwin and Comfort distinguished themselves by their defensive work. This was a real test for Steffen’s team, which was composed of green material, and impressed upon them the necessity of co-o| cration and teamwork. 1921 177 THE THISTLE 77AfEl f] TECII 21—WESTMINSTER 0 Showing an improvement that was surprising, Wally Steffen’s eleven humbled Westminster College by a seore of '2 1 to 0. Steffen's linemen played a wonderfully consistent game and had the backfield been as consistent and held to a concerted attack the score would have been greater. Cy Comfort, besides kicking all goals, played havoc with the Westminster offense and always opened up the line for the Plaid backs to plunge through. Both Wittmer and McClean held down the ends in tine form and left nothing to be desired. Brumbaugh and Goddcn were the ground gainers. Brumy took the ball more than any other man on the team and generally made the required number of yards. The whole student body turned out and with the help of the band gave the team the kind of support that has characterized Tech students from the beginning. TECH 21—GROVE CITY 3 Wally Steffen’s fleet-footed squad plays the fastest, brainiest football game ever seen on Tech field. Outweighed by 15 pounds to the man, the Skibos play havoc with Grove City offense and also tear through for three touchdowns. When we come to mention individual players, we’d like to tell you about all of them Iwcause all of them played a stellar game, but we must mention Allen Weirman, quarterback from Sharon High School, who took Captain Goddcn s place in the third quarter. Weirman used rare judgment in calling signals and in carrying the ball. A few minutes after he entered the game he brought the Tech stands to their feet by a run of 27 yards for Tech's first score. Did you see Irwin and Comfort take turns stopping Jones? Captain Godden received a broken ankle at the beginning of the third quarter and had to Ik carried from the field. IZfe, iQgi 178 THE THISTI.E UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI 17—TECH 25 Displaying the same offensive strength that characterized the drove City game, the Tartan warriors triumphed over the Cincy gridders. Allen Weirnian was again the outstanding star of the game, when, with the help of his teammates, he sprints 75 yards through a broken field for a touchdown. And amazing as it may sound his gains for the day amounted to alxnit 250 yards—“Nuf ced Near the close of the game Cincy ojjened up an aerial attack that completely fooled the Tartans for a while but with a little rearrangement their drive was stopped liefore it did any danger. LEHIGII 17—TECH (5 The Lehigh jinx consistently lingered with Tech’s Football team at Taylor Field and the Plaid eleven went down in defeat this time by a score of 17 to ( . The game was a hard played one and marked by the spirit and cleanness of the team. Weirnian broke loose and electrified the crowd with a run of 78 yards at the opening of the third quarter for the Plaid’s only score. 1921 7 M%i 179 ALLEGHENY 0—TECH 42 The Plaid gladiators retired gloriously from the gridiron after having overwhelmingly defeated the game team from Allegheny College. Coach Steffen's cohorts scored at will and brought the clamoring crowds to their feet by the brilliant and bewildering display of football. The Tech Mentor exhibited his wonderful strategy in the plays in which the backfield time after time made great gains through the line or around the ends. Every man on the team played spectacular football and all were responsible for the sensational showing of Weirman. BETHANY 14—TECH 0 “On to Wheeling such was the slogan of those who heeded the cry and left the Union Station accompanied by the band. They marched and cheered and gave Wheeling such a display of college spirit as never had been seen there before. Tech bowed to Bethany for the first time to the tunc of 14 to 0. Showing the unexpected which baffled the confident Plaid team. Bethany scored in the first few minutes of play and showed a good assortment of passing—forward and lateral—from almost any formation. Tech staged a good come-back but was not quite enough as Bethany pushed a score over just before the final whistle blew. 1921 THE THISTLE W. J. 0—Tech 6 Plaid eleven outfights, outplays, husky Red and Black invaders. Tech’s 1020 eleven battled its way to everlasting fame and glory when they rose out of the mud and handed the dreaded Wash-Jeff combination a (� 0 defeat. The victory marks a new era in Plaid athletics, it being the first time in the history of the School that a Tartan eleven has beaten a team of recognized first rank on the gridiron. The glorious and sensational event happened shortly after the beginning of the fourth quarter and the wild cheering and pandemonium that broke loose for about ten minutes has never been witnessed before on Tech field. McClean will get the lion’s share of the credit for the victory, but the whole team, without exception, deserves the highest praise. In addition to McClean some of the other men on the team played so as to make them stand out from the rest. .limmy Robertson brought the Tech stands to their feet. Going in for Pittman in the second quarter he made a run of ‘27 yards on the first play. On the next two plays lie carried the ball to the .5-yard line, when the whistle blew ending the first half. Cy Comfort deserves the credit for blocking the punt that gave McClean the chance to make his wonderful run. Wittmer recovered more fumbles than any other man on the team and Irwin stopped the boys from his home town from crossing the center of Techs line. The game closed the most successful season Tech has ever had, ending up with six victories and three defeats. The 1921 team now looms up as the largest thing in Plaid athletics and great predictions are being made for them. Tech—6 W. J.—0 Wittmer L. E. Carroll Comfort L. T. Browning Henderson L. G.

Although they suffered three defeats, they were playing teams that are generally stronger than many of the small colleges. The spirit shown by the team promises well for next year and without a doubt the training obtained at this time will help to materially strengthen the Varsity next year. Coach hidings greatest handicap is that as soon as he develops a good man he loses him to the Varsity squad, which makes his organization rather uncertain. However in spite of this, the team is a concrete factor and by far the best freshman organization which has ever represented Carnegie Tech. 2 S 1921 185 the thistle The Season, 1920 THE SEASON 1920 At Home April 17—Duquesnc University—Rain April 28—Bethany College—Rain May 6—Grove City College—5-4 Tech May 8—Juniata College—9-8 Tech May 11—Westminster College—20-1 Tech May 14—Geneva College—3-2 Tech May 20—Pittsburgh Collegians—4-3 Tech May 31—Muskingum College—6-3 Tech June 17 University of Calif.—Rain Abroad April 23—AY.

J. 186 1921 Baseball TH Tin Baseball season of 1920 started off with a boom. At the first call for batteries we had about twenty men out and of these there were two of last year's Varsity pitchers. We had several good catchers and practice was started with a vim that marked the work of the team throughout the season. Practice for the first three weeks was held in the gym but early in April we were able to get outside and a general call for candidates was issued. Nearly forty men responded and from these was picked the Varsity team for the year. The scrubs deserve a great deal of credit for staying out all season and furnishing the team for the Varsity to practice against. Rain called a halt to our first two games but we got started on our season at West Virginia University. There we broke even, winning the first ami losing the second. From that time on we kept up our winning streak until the sixth game with the Pittsburgh Collegians. In this game J. Doherty, our second baseman, had his arm broken by a man sliding into him. That, so to speak, broke up the combination ami we lost our next game at Geneva College to a team which we have already defeated. Through the rest of the season we continued to win until our disastrous trip into the east. The last game of the season with the University of California had to Ik cancelled on account of heavy rains during tin two days previous to the date set for the game. The big reason for our very successful season was our Coach llonus. His big store of baseball knowledge was passed out to the men in a way that they could not but help get a great deal out of it and the spirit he instilled in the men was what put the Varsity through this very successful season. The greater part of the team will Ik back in school for the next season and with Ray Doherty as Captain, Al Tosteson as Manager, assisted by Ilob Nation, we can look forward to another season even more successful than the last with the guidance of our old friend.

I-ast year we had a wonderful team which had the knack of winning games as well as playing “good games . This year, at the beginning of the season, we had our old stand-bys, Iiainman, Nichol and Allan but were short one experienced forward and one long, high jumping, quick moving center. To fill these positions we were banking on Dosey, Lcctc, Gibson. Good, all subs from Inst year, and also some Freshmen of unknown caliber; McPhcc, Bell, Wicrman. The men were all inexperienced and had to be taught the new system installed by Coach Hal hidings. Coach hidings early realized his predicament and with the old material and some of the new, and with his natural and almost inexhaustible energy, built up a fast and steady team with Hnmman, Nichol and Dosey as mainstays. The team met with several reverses at the beginning of the season but displayed the Old Carnegie fight and soon pulled themselves out of the rut. Captain Hamman was injured in the W. J. game and was kept out of several games. It was at this time that Tech suffered its worst defeats of the season. On the eastern trip Tech passers did not register a victory. With the return of Hamman to the line-up the team took on new life and began to win their games. Dosey deserves credit for his wonderful work at forward and his foul goal shooting. Nichol played a good game at guard and stopped many of the opi oncnt’s forwards from registering from the floor. Bell, Swan. Gibson, McPhec deserve credit for their excellent floor work. Too much credit cannot Ik given to Coach hidings for the excellent manner in which he dcvcIo|M d the team, and then, too, for the way in which he overcame difficulties as they arose. Where a gap was to be filled and no one at hand to fill it, he would soon develop the missing cog. and thus keep the machinery always running. With every man on the squad working with him. Conch hidings turned out a team which kept all of its opponents continually on the jump. The schedule was the longest ami hardest that a Tech team has ever undertaken and while some of the games were lost it was just by a narrow margin. 192 1Q21 THE THISTLE Varsity Squad OFFICERS H. C.

They have engaged in six of the hardest meets that have been staged in the Tri-State section and have come out without any reverses, winning every meet. Credit is due, not only to Coach Hazel, but the consistent plugging of the men on the squad. Coach Hazel was the man who put the spirit and pep into the boys and they brought forth the results. West. Virginia was Tech's first opponent and it was a little early in the season for the men to be in trim shape. Tech getting the verdict by a close margin of 65-61. The Geneva meet showed up better for the Plaid men and they romped away with a 903 -32 4 score. Kelley did the hundred in 10H and Stultz cleared the bar in the pole vault and barely missed setting a new school record at 11 feet 5 inches. Cooper, the little Design School Plebe, from Detroit, showed his endurance by winning the mile and taking second in the half-mile. The West Virginia Wesleyan meet was easy for the Plaid boys and at Allegheny a little more opposition was met. It was in this meet that Kelley did the hundred in 10 seconds flat, being checked by four watches. At Kenny wood Park on Decoration Day, competing against the Wcstinghouse Club, P. A. A. and several of the local organizations, the Tartans led their nearest competitor by 20 points. By defeating Dennison the following Saturday, the Plaid cinder team won their sixth consecutive victory and have the honor of being the first undefeated track team that has represented Carnegie Tech. The prospects for a still better team are very bright as both Kelley and Russell will be back to take care of the sprints. In the mile and half-mile Cooper, Bailey and Blesch ought to show great improvement. Miller, Greenlaw, and McDonald will be back for the two-mile and Hiller, Nichols, Brumbaugh, will take care of the 440. Captain Schmidt has had his four years on the cinder path and is ineligible next year. Stultz and Hummann should improve in their field events and ought to equal the school record. With W. A. McGill as manager and assisted by J. G. Bvler and with our new coach hidings we can look forward to a season as successful as the past one. THE THISTLE The Team Personnel TRACK C. B.

The Plaid racket team carried off the collegiate sectional championship by a series of decisive victories over every opponent it met. The team composed of Captain Stoekslager, Heattv, Marshall and Davis formed an unbeatable combination. After having won the collegiate title in this section a game was arranged with Syracuse University, champions of New York State, who met their Waterloo when the Tech racqueteers defeated them by a .5-1 score. The team then invaded the middle west and met their only defeat of the season at the hands of the University of Michigan, Champions of the Western Conference, by a score of 4 2. No small part of the credit belongs to our Coach. And under his tutoring Tech net men are going to repeat their performances of the preceding year. 1921 201 The Team Stocks l.u;i-;r Captain Ed.

Very few of the men had had any previous experience. On December 31, 1920, the Tech Hockey Team got its first test. The game was much more interesting than the score would seem to indicate. The heavier and more experienced Vale seven made five tallies. The game the following night was a repetition of the first, the score being 0-0. During both of these games Schmert . and Jewel showed up well. On January 28th, the University of Pennsylvania team were brought here and got a big surprise. The score stood 3-3 at the end of the game and an extra five minutes was necessary to decide the winner but neither team was able to penetrate the defense of the other. Next year ought to see Tech with a team of the highest caliber as all of the men will be back. CKfefe 921 204 tirmr. THE THISTLE Boxing Carnegie Tech, for the first time in its history, was represented in the squared circle this year. Working under difficulties, the Plaid mit men, stacked up against the two best collegiate teams in the country, and though coming out of the fray battle-worn, the Tartan scrappers made a creditable showing, and did much to put the sport on its feet at the Institute. Profiting from experience the hopes run high for a complete schedule for 1921-22. C. J. Copley, ’22 Harry Wittmer ,’22 T. 15.

Due to the unsettled conditions at Tech a complete schedule was impossible to make out. The Tartan mat men defeated a representative Westinghouse Club Team, and fell to defeat at the hands of West Virginia. However, with as good spirit as this year, and with an early start, lech will be well repre- sented in 19‘2‘2. C. J. Copley .. . . . . . Manager R. Donovan ....... Captain Mr. McCully .......

A Club was organized in October, 1920, and it was from this club that the material necessary for the team was furnished. A range was built in the Arts building, and completed in January, 1921.

The use of the pool in the Falk Memorial was secured and Aren was elected Manager. The fact that there was such a large turn out at the practice sessions argues well for the future of the sport at Tech. With the proper support and spirit from the student body, the sport should grow until it occupies an important place on the athletic calendar of Carnegie Tech. There is not a single reason why Tech should not have a team and there are many reasons why we should. Now is the time for us to get behind the team because “now” is the time when Tech is striding out and taking her rightful place in athletics. 7Ms 208 1921 Athletic Association I'ike so many other organizations at Tech the Athletic Association has broadened and expanded, until now it includes all the girls of Tech. Another new and wonderful feature of the Association is the launching of a Varsity Basketball Team. Geneva College is the one game on our calendar this year but by next year we hope to have a full-fledged schedule. Class team's and games in basketball, volley ball and hockey and a tournament in tennis are still red-letter events on our athletic calendar. Mary Zarobsky ...... President Vivian Sciimuckek .....

This was the second Prom in which the three men’s schools participated. The large ballroom of the Schenley Hotel was more than crowded by nine o’clock and the Reception Ilall was used to take care of the overflow. At nine-thirty the Grand March led by Mr. Skyrm, President of the Junior Class of the Science School, and Miss Hester, swung down the center of the ballroom and the Prom was officially o| ened. From then until two o’clock the laws against | crpetual motion were defied. A delicious supper was served at midnight during which several exhibition dances were given. COMMUTER M. M.

This is the one grand affair that Plcbcs and Sophomores look forward to and the Seniors rememl er as their happiest experience during their Junior Year. After the grand march, which revealed many gaily dressed belles and handsome Beau Brummels, everybody “swung their partner” through a merry foxtrot produced by Tech’s own band of music makers. The Mayor did his duty and permitted the Juniors a two hours grace. But everything has an end. When the wee sma hours are no longer wee and sma’ and farewells were being voiced, the happy Juniors agreed with their guests, the elated Seniors, that the Prom of 1J)‘21 was the best ever. 1921 90 z THE THISTLE “The Follies” “Whither away, young man? “ To the “Follies as fast as I can.

The material was so good that when it came to picking ten men on some parts it was almost impossible to do so. Even attendance was so i erfcct that this basis could not be used. The clubs started early this season and have accomplished great things. It was not long until, under the earnest and constant work of the directors, the clubs were ready for their schedule. A smoker was held early in November which brought out wonderful stunt material and gave the men of the clubs a chance to get acquainted. The evening was surely enjoyable. In December the clubs gave their usual concert at Mayview. Here many points were noted for improvement and since that time they have proved very helpful. The concerts of the season include Tarentum, Youngstown, Edgewood, Hotel Chatham, University Club, Connellsville, New Kensington, Mt. Washington, Beaver and Pennsylvania College for Women. The trip to Youngstown brought out the greatest spirit ever shown by the alumni toward the Musical Clubs. The concert was given by the alumni and for an athletic scholarship for Tech. All the audiences have had nothing but cheers for the clubs and the men personally were treated with wonderful spirit and high regard for Tech. Many on the campus see the Tech spirit shown on the field with the teams but few witness the spirit shown by the clubs as they travel around spreading that wonderful spirit through the cities they visit. This year has lost for us a wonderful (dee Club director in Mr. Crawford but it has also brought to us another director in Mr. Ilodgdon, who, with Signor Scalzo, cannot be given too much credit. Both have worked very earnestly and have accomplished results which year by year are adding to the development and reputation of Tech’s Musical Clubs. The Musical Clubs wish to formally express their appreciation for the patience and loyalty of these two directors. The season ended with a most successful Home Concert on the fifteenth of April with the Annual Formal Dance at the Schenley. 231 1921 THE THISTLE Band Roster A. J. Sullivan, Director Clarinets It. Y.

Old Pittsburgh has heard many a college band, but it still takes the ol Tech Band to produce the spirit and | ep which ready makes one pause listen. A small but earnest group of fellows is all that it takes to make a band and Tech has them. This is why Tech is able to l e proud of her band and why she is willing to stack it against any. This year’s history of the band is really no different than that of bygone bands, but one thing worthwhile mentioning is that “Sully ' is back with us again and it is “Sully that does it. Nothing that the members can do musically will make a band but with an energetic, earnest and wholehearted Techite supporter, as “Sully'' is, is all that remains for the making of the band, and it is left to you for decision. With many obstacles, enough to discourage the ordinary man, he has taken hold of things and whipped the band into great shape, and Tech will lose one of its most valuable exponents when “Sully ceases to be the leader of its band. The band has not reached its highest point yet. and it may be some few years before it does reach the point we all should like to see it arrive at, but one thing that remains and that is that each year is a stepping-stone and it can be truly said that the band of ’‘21 is on the highest one yet, and let it continue to go higher each year. 1921 233 Mm the thistle Girls’ Glee Club The Girls Glee Club was organized and founded in 1019, by Miss Parry and the Class of 192 2. Miss Parry saw the need of such a club, and met with the girls for its organization. Concerts are given in conjunction with the Stringers at various places about the city, finishing the year with the Home Concert. Harvey II. Gaul directs the club again this year, which has been extended to make all Tech girls eligible.

The world would be empty without the laughter of Shakespeare, Rabelais, A1 Jolson and O'Henry. Greatness is made greater by wit. Humor magnifies all talent. And so we, in our humble way, have dared to present the fruits of our labors to coax from our intrepid readers a laugh where possible—at least a smile. We have never meant to wound with the rapier of sarcasm but rather to tickle with the feather of mirth. At times we have erred—but to those against whom we have trespassed, we humbly and effusively apologize, appealing to your magnanimity to have mercy upon us and to consider our age- Puppet's years are but three— which we offer as an excuse. Unlike the bear. Puppet hibernates in the summer, sleeping, regaining weight lost in the many skirmishes of the past year, but always mentally on the qui vivc and storing the choicer bits of foolishness that float through his dreams. Puppet's one ambition is to attain that worthy place in the minds of the knowledge-seekers, where once placed, it will be taken into the confidence, share the pleasures and assume the burdens of each individual student who will constantly consult its pages for help and inspiration. 1921 F.

Technical Journal came with a purpose different from any other paper on the campus. Some of the publications record events as they pass into history, others are of literary and humorous value. The Tichnical Journal records the attainments of alumni, faculty, and students of the School in the laboratory and in the world of engineering and business. If future attainment can be predicted by progress in the past, it is safe to say that the Journal will be of the greatest interest and value to its readers, and that that goal will not l e in the too distant future.

Through this arrangement, the Council receives the benefit of having brought to it the sentiment of the students in each of the four Schools. The President of the Student Activities Board is also represented as well as the Athletic Association. Each spring a candidate for the presidency of the Student Council is nominated in each of the four Schools. And it is from these four candidates that the Council, before adjourning for the summer vacation, elects its President for the coming school year. II. (i. XimoL. Jk.. Science . (I. It. Buandin.

The Margaret Morrison girls are all proud of their Student Government which has grown stronger each year since its establishment in 1913. All work done for credit and all conduct in the School is governed by the Student Senate. “Honor” is the watchword. The duties of the Senate have been somewhat lessened this year by the formation of a separate student government body for the dormitories. Since then, the Senate has been directing its energies toward enlarging and strengthening its power until it has become a firm and substantial organization.

Since the time of its inauguration, the Senate has had direct control of all student assemblies, clubrooms, bulletin boards. Freshman regulations, and all other items of importance to the Student ImkIv and to the regulation of student conduct in general. By means of its various committees, it has also systematized class elections and the collection of class dues and has in every way aided each of the four classes in getting in closer touch with each other and in co-ordinating more closely with the faculty and its various regulations. This year’s Science smoker, given under the supervision of the Senate, was a success in every sense of the word and added greatly to the popularity of this annual event. The Science Senate is composed of thirteen members who are selected in regular class elections on the following scale: five representatives from the Senior Class, four from the Junior Class, and three and one from the Sophomore and Freshman Classes respectively.

The thirty contestants are off! For four years Mellon Hall has witnessed the IMebcs start a new race, with the Sophs and Juniors a lap or two ahead and the Seniors finishing a winning race. The entrance requirements for the contest are very strict in that only vehicles having four wheels are permitted to enter- said vehicles including tea-wagons, go-carts, and sweepers. During the course of the race there are many “stopping-ofT places, ‘■'rime-out” is taken for such things as fire-drills, midnight duckings, feeds, dances, and, upon special request, xhuli . For each of these events additional “time” is called to allow for a change of attire, consisting respectively of curlers, ?. ‘jamas, decolettes and “specks”. All contestants (even the Plebes) are spared the exasperating duty of “answering the door as a real honest-to-goodness butler, has l een secured for this purpose. Here’s wishing them luck on the finish! 318 THE THISTLE Mellon Annex The Barn: Centipede's Paradise: Mellon Annex. But there are compensations: a lively bunch of Plcbes (we mostly are) to keep us from fossilizing, what with water fights and tally struggles and even a “barn dance which they in their unsophistication called a crawl ; mice; men; a half interest in a hill that is delectable on sunny, spring evenings. And our outlook on life has been considerably brightened this year by the new brilliance of Skibo, that golden blot on our sketchin’, and the placing of several five thousand watt beacons on our royal road to learning via the Hut and Union. 1921 _______ 319 THE THISTLE m Forbes Hall “Four walls do not a prison make A ’or iron bars a cage . Hull uh—that’s Forbes Hall! The Iron Bars—ah, they tell the story! In this domicile dwell three-score dainty damsels. So bewitching is this bevy of bashful, bafflin', bookish (?) bankrupt beauties, that bold, bad, boistrous boys and many mobs of merry men have tried to trespass treacherously. Fire-escapes feel fantom footfalls and windows wield a wicked wire. Brrr—the thicken plots! ! Anyway, we are all happy, “haven’t” we? 320 THE THISTLE Woodl awn Hall SECTION I Pause traveler toward Mecca—and consider! If you would hobnob with genius, walk with beauty, thrill to wit. insure against boredom, touch future greatness, enjoy good music or develop a passion for fudge and Vienna sausages—mark this your ultimate goal. What more could you ask—this side of Paradise? So, need we say more? Ah no—our attractions are obvious. Therefore to this eulogy, we write— Finis. 1921 321 the thistle Woodlawn Dormitory SECTION II We had an alligator small Of great renow n and fame, From sunny African south seas Our dear old mascot came. Through trials and tribulations We nourished it with care, The only thing our dear one lacked Was sunshine and fresh air. We put him out to play one day, His tail tied to a string, Alack for us! lie left his home, With angels now does sing. He's dead. Our mascot’s gone. Though sad. Our loss, we still survive. The friends we made, the friendships formed Have kept our joy alive. 32 2 1921 THE THISTLE The Dormitory Council In the Spring of 1920, the dormitory girls decided to inaugurate their own form of government and, instead of being governed by the School Senate, to have their own separate Dormitory Council, elected from their own munlier. Accordingly, officers and representatives from each school were elected, and the Council was ready for work. In a very short time, it has become one of the most important and most effective organizations in dormitory life. The Council not only tries to see that the rules and regulations are obeyed, but it tries to make the dormitory life pleasanter and to help the girls with all their problems. Everybody agrees that the Council has done a great deal for the dormitory girls, and that they would not want to be governed in any other way. Agnes Russel .......

In the Fall a V. W. C. A. Welcome Tea for the Freshmen. Later in the Fall, an Undergraduate Field Representative Conference held in Philadelphia, to bring together students of colleges in surrounding states to discuss problems and solve problems of the college campus. Florence Lutz was our representative this year. A conference in the Spring will bring together students from every representative college in the United States to learn definitely the students’ responsibility to our brothers and sisters of other lands. The Eagles Mere Conference is always the crowning glory of the year. This year the V. W. is aiming to send at least fifteen girls, for a glorious ten days of seriousness and fun in the mountain tops, a ten days so inspiring that they will live with every girl every day of her life.

Not only has its enrollment increased considerably and more enthusiasm been exhibited at its bi-monthly meetings, but it has pulled off several novel stunts at different times during the year. With the aid of the Signal Corps,a portable radio outfit was set up on the football field at Wheeling on the day of the Tech-Bethany game and the plays were flashed back to Tech as fast as they were made. On election night last November the returns were received and given to the students attending the dance in the Union. The Club took another big step forward this year when it became affiliated with the American Radio Relay League (A. R. R.

M. D. Science Club Realizing the need of a means of drawing the girls closer together in their common interest, the upper classmen of the Science Department of M. M. I), organized a Science ( lub in November, 1920. '1 he object of the club is to promote interest along all scientific lines and to create a feeling of good-fellowship among the students and alumnae. The worthwhile things done by the alumni are lost to the girls of the school unless they are brought back to them through the club. Although the alumnae cannot be active members they are to become associate members. '1 he Science faculty are heartily in sympathy with the organization and are doing their best to promote the interests of the club. Trips are taken, and speakers are obtained at various times during the year. The social side is not overlooked, there being teas, suppers and other events during the year.

Eventually the library will occupy its own building—but in the meantime, the Y” makes an attractive and comfortable library. It is for the students of all Divisions of Carnegie Institute of Technology—for reference use, for required reading, for study, for recreational reading, or for a few quiet minutes during a busy day. Arts Division Library, and all books, collections in offices and departments are under I lie supervision of C. I. T. Library, which is also a station of Carnegie Library, the big sister across the bridge. ( I. T. has a collection of about ten thousand volumes, including all departmental books. The Library is about the only building on the campus which seems to belong impartially to all Divisions—Faculty and Students. Here at one table have been discovered an honored Science Prof, two Industrious Sophs, a learned Psychologist, and two fair M. M.’s, each busily intent. Yes, sometimes on busy days, it’s crowded—but there’s always room for more. And the more crowded it becomes, the sooner shall we have a new building (maybe)! Yc need one badly—but in the meantime, we all do like the “IIIJT”. 1921 .‘H3 THE THISTLE The American Association of Engineers The American Association of Engineers,known as A. A.

It was the constant demand and the many new opportunities for Heating and Ventilating Engineers, together with the view of bringing about a closer relationship between students pursuing courses in this line of work that led to its foundation. During the war B. '1'. V. Club was inactive. However, when school had reached its pre-war basis the Club took on new life, and today is one of the most agile and vigorous organizations of the Division of Industries. Its membership is confined to students following Heating and Ventilating. From time to time the Club procures speakers who are well informed along these lines of engineering and each year many trips to industrial plants are taken. The members find the Club a valuable asset in connection with their scholastic work. OFFICERS Earl L. Bliss .... Lewis Raflowitz Herbert P. Carl yon Charles F. Myers .

N’OTK The following re mrt iras secured from the Congressional Coni miller sent lo inrestitjale the conditions of Tech fraternities. If V trill let public opinion be the judge as lo the truth of their obserrations. At G I . M. one dark day in January, I arrival in the fair city of Pittsburgh as Chairman of the Committee of Why and Wherefores, with complete authority to investigate everybody elsc’s business. After careful thought, I decided that the best source of information concerning the other fellows’ business was a fraternity, and having paid my way with a suspender button I was allowed to enter a peculiar vehicle popularly called a dinkey . After some two hours’ ride, through which I bore up remarkably well despite a slight sea-siek fading, the vehicle passed a house of many steps, up which many youths were toiling. One of these wore a bright striped suit, with many checks and raiment of a loud and vigorous hue, while another walked with a cautious step and a hand on hip. Whereupon I alighted from the car. knowing that I had reached the abode of BETA THETA PI I'pon entering the door of the hospitable house. I was received by one of the brothers who. noticing the diamond stickpin in my tie. was more than kind, and at once relieved me of my hat ami coat, graciously warning me that the management would not lx responsible for valuables left in the pocket. I’pon entering the dining room, which I at first glance took to Ik a billiard parlor, the brothers greeted nu cheerfully and dared me to get something to eat. Although possessed of the knowledge that the odds were heavy against me, I intrepidly climbed over the park lx nch which is serving as a seat until the second installment can be paid on the new chairs, and attempted to satisfy my hunger. After fifteen minutes of violent struggle, however. I was forced to acknowledge myself defeated, anil arose as soon as my legs l ccamc untangled from the bench. Supper over, the brothers, many thinking I was a new man in Design School, and therefore an unparalleled prize, clustered round and insisted that I In shown the house. The inspection proved most interesting, and I was much pleased with the artistic ability shown by the brothers in decorating the house, cracks and stains having been carefully concealed in all (rases by tasteful clippings from the Police Gazelle and other current magazines. A near-silver Cup occupied the place of honor in the downstairs hall, and one of the brothers explained that the Cup had been won from three other fraternities in an open contest of all the fraternities at Tech. At this point a loud debate was heard downstairs, and upon coming to the scene of discussion it appeared that a quarrel had arisen as to whose guest I was, and therefore who was to pay for the supper. I. however, stopped the discussion diplomatically by paying the required 13c for the dinner and stated pleasantly that I had certainly had my money’s worth. At this point I deemed it time to depart, and after carefully examining my coat and hat. I departed, with many thanks for my courteous treatment, and a promise to call again as soon as I had had several good meals. After several moments of brisk walking in the open air, I felt much improved, and having proceeded several blocks further out Forties Street, passed a brightly lighted domicile, with horrible strains of weird and mysterious music issuing therefrom. At length, deciding that this was intended to represent music, I turned and entered the nameless abode, whieh I was later informed is known as WOODLAWX CLUB Finding that no response was paid to rings of the bell, I attempted to enter through the front door, but finding same in an unsafe and precarious condition, proceeded in a well-worn path to a side window, 17 M 1921 369 thistle am! climlx-d in. This practice is evidently much indulged in when one of the brothers finds difficulty in navigating the steps and would do well to Ik adopted by many of the fraternities in the best circles. I’pon finding a stranger in their midst, the brothers showed not the slightest trace of embarrassment and received me cordially, asking at the same time if I could give them any definite information as to when they would get their charter. I assured them that 1 was comparatively uninformed on the subject, but I certainly hoped they would have their pins for the Junior Prom. I was thereupon introduced to six presidents and ex-presidents, and five next year's presidents. A very charming youth with a black downy mustache upon his upper lip at this point came down with a pledge pin. but I informed him regretfully that I was neither a college president nor a math professor, ami he sadly went his way murmuring that in that ease it would do no good. I inquired concerning several objects which met mv gaze, one of which was a large ease filled with medals and trophies of all varieties. “And what may these lx for .1' I asked one of the brothers who noticed my admiring glance. “Oh”, he replied, “they may Ik for most anything; several of the brothers have been Boy Scouts and have brought many trophies to our ease through that source, while another of our members has repeatedly brought back near-gold medals from track and field meets. We are very g«xx| friends with the judges, you know. he said with a smile. But as my allotted time was growing short. I realized that I must tear myself away. “I am sorry tiiat yon have not seen more of the brothers , oozed my guide, but the dear chaps must have their nightly movie, you know. The manager of the theater next d«x r gives us club rates, y’see, and we usually buy the tickets by the yard. It’s so convenient, he murmured with a sigh, “we couldn't bear to move any nearer school”. And bidding them all an affectionate farewell. I staggered down the steps into the wildness of Forlxvs Street. It was with lagging steps that 1 dragged myself to a corner ami boarded a ear bound toward the city, to dream horribly that seven fraternities were all trying to initiate me at once. Just as the puddle was about to descend for the fortieth time, the ear gave a tremendous lurch, and the conductor droned in a monotonous voice, “All out to view the animals, gentlemen. On the right we have two fraternity houses, the home of many of Pittsburgh's citizens and students, on the left, the same. All out to view the animals”. With renewed hope ami vigor. I stumbled off the ear. and found myself facing a ramshackle structure upon which was blazoned the sign SIGMA XU As I made my way up the steps ami stood groping in the darkness for the d x rlx ll. I overheard void's inside the door, expostulating, complaining. “IIow can I ? one was saying. I just paid out my last buck on Friday to the house refinishing fund, and I gotta hire a dress suit yet for the formal. Don’t ask me for money when I ain’t got it. I ain’t no blooming Alpha Pi”. At this I rang the door Ix ll vigorously, ami immediately low voices were again heard within. “Beat it. gang, it’s another bill collector. Everybody form mass formation”. After several minutes the door was opened slightly and a face appeared in the opening. “There's no one home , he announced guilelessly. “Pardon me , I apologized, but I have no bills to collect and will only take a few minutes of your time. I am a stranger linking a visit to several of the Pittsburgh fraternity houses, and was hoping that I could glance at your house”. “Oh, sure , said the one at tin door in great relief, we thought you—or were we—a policeman or one of the faculty, dime in. Thus invited I pnxeeded inside and met the brothers as they crawled out from under their various hiding-places about the room. One smallish chap with glasses and an ingenuous smile crawled out from under the sofa and after greeting me. dashed wildly away, to return in a few moments with a ease of jewelry, lie edged his way up to me and spoke in low melodious tones as follows: “Pardon me, sir, if I may seem to make claims upon your valuable time, but I feel, as you will, that these few moments will not lx entirely wasted. For many years in this fraternity, in the time of our fathers and our father’s fathers, our natural love for the artistic ami the beautiful has found expression for itself in jewelry. We have labored for generations since the chapter was installed, to acquire this valuable 1921 THE THISTLE collection of priceless jewelry; we have spared neither time nor arduous labor in its collection. I say ‘priceless , and ‘priceless indeed it is. but as you acknowledged that you are only a stranger in the city, in consideration of the shortness of your stay in our midst. I will Ik prevailed upon to part with some of this valuable collection. This one here, sir he continued, with pride glistening in his eyes, pointing to a small bilious yellow pin, is commonly sold for $5.00 in the best of jewelry stores, but to you, sir (with a magnificent gesture) $8.08”. In a da e I extracted my wallet and at the end of five minutes found myself in possession of one watch fob, price $4.68, one Tech seal pin. price $5.34, one class insignia labeled 1045, price $0.04. and several articles not yet determined. When I recovered in a slight measure from my stupor I rushed up to the enterprising young man. and after convincing him that I meant no violence, grasped him warmly by the hnnd. My dear young man.” I cried, what course do you pursue ? Commercial Engineering , he stammered. “Ha, that explains it . I shrooglcd. And let me say that I have a position awaiting you selling safety pins to African babies the minute you get out of college”. At this point a tall, young man entered, wearing a hat of a most peculiar and startling shade of green, and peering out through tortoise glasses with an intent expression. “Puppet he cried madly, 6,000 copies, who wants one . Poor chap , sympathized one of the brothers, “he is quite insane. Since lie liought that hat. no one has had a kind word for him. and he has gradually lost what sense he had.” Bilious green, bilious green”, shouted the poor unfortunate madly. “Twenty-five cents a copy , and went out. muttering to himself. This was too much, and bidding them a hasty farewell, I backed out the door, grasping my watch and wallet tightly. The last I saw of this unfortunate group was a gentleman in a loud suit walking up the steps, and a hoarse voice shouting, Formation A-64. Repel subpoena server. I nder sofa. March . With trembling knees. I made ofT in the distance. After remaining for a few moments in a reclining position against a tree, I fell sufficiently recovered to try again, and approached the house next door, it must la confessed with trepidation. From the amount of noise issuing from the interior. an l general condition of the exterior, it was evident that this was the iiIhhIc of SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON Inside, however. I was cheerfully greeted, ami after answering the repeater! question as to whether I lived in the house, several times, it at length became evident to them I was neither a pledge or a brother, and the house was opened to me in its full hospitality. I at first labored under the misapprehension that an affair of some sort was in progress in the house as there were brothers in every available corner of the house. Many who were not able to obtain standing room had hung themselves up on coat-hangers ami were comfortably observing proceedings from this elevated position. There seemed to In a great many hanging around, in fact. I asked one of the brothers how it was ever possible for any of the members to remember all the names of the other brothers, and he replied that they had adopted a system of numbers, so that everyone wore their number on their coat when about the house, and at the same time carried a small |H� cket card index. Thus when one brother met another about the house it was an easy matter to look up his num! er and greet him by name. We underlain! this practice is adopted by all chapters of S.A.E. Another interesting practice of this fraternity is that adopted in the matter of school elections. When any office for which a brother is available comes up for election, one of tin- brothers promptly jumps to his feet and nominates a fellow brother. 'Phis is |� crfectly safe as no one about the institution has such a colossal mind as to remember all of the members of S.A.E. While doing the nominating, the brother artfully gives a secret high sign, known only to members, at which the brothers recognize that the candidate is one of their number and consequently east their vote for him. Needless to say any election may be carried by this mass formation. I was afterwards told that when this fraternity was in quarantine, classes had to be called oft , as there were so few left to attend them; 1921 MIS! ¥ter THE THISTLE As 1 stood talking to a tall young man with a budding mustache, I notice l any number of phonographs and music boxes about, and questioned my entertainer concerning them. “Oh , he replied proudly I made'em in my spare time. Kver since the time when a small child I have had a marvelous passion for music. Few are kind enough to say that I am a genius in the musical world, but at the same time, I gratify my love for the Iteautiful, the artistic, ami the musical, bv constructing these music Ik xcs.” “And. incidentally , he continued, modestly lowering his voice. “I get paid for them—when I can collect it. Certainly a most talented group! At this time I plead a previous engagement and made a hurried exit as soon as I could elbow my way through the crowd. My bad luck, however, had not yet ended, for upon coming down the steps. I spied a very much inebriated youth,attempting vainly to stagger across the street. Fearing to implicate myself in further complications and yet not wishing to seem indifferent to suffering humanity. I proceeded across the street and grasped him lightly by the arm. “My dear Sir . I said lightly. “You seem to In having considerable difficulty in locating your habitat, might I Im of service in seeing you home? “’Sail ri old thing, old dear”, he replied with some difficulty. I jus mentally intoxicated, thnts all. Never touch a drop, not a drop. Always drink it through a straw. Jus had a date with a Maggie Murph, thas all. Gotta go on home . All right, old chap, just come along with me . I soothed. “Now where do you live? Right up there , he swoggled, pointing to a house on the top of a small hill with many steps leading up to it. “But’s all ri . I gotta system . At this we rambled down the few paces to the house, and to my surprise he let out a shrill, though unsteady whistle. Immediately the door of the house opened, ami a youngster, who was evidently a a pledge, opened the door, and whistled in answer. “Drunk call, drunk call , he shrilled, and at once two huskies came forth and lumbered down the steps, bearing a stretcher. Without the slightest bit of ceremony. with not a second wasted, they hustled both of us on to the stretcher and with a speed born of long practice ran up the steps ami into the house. It was a few seconds In-fore I could catch my breath, ami upon sitting up. protested that I was |H-rfectlv well and demanded to know where I was and what was the meaning of such outrag ous treatment. At the sound of my voice, the surrounding young men stood aghast. “Holy Smokes , remarked one. “I thought you was Ixhhc . “In the first place. Sir , he continued, as soon as he had recovered from his astonishment, “You an- at present in the abode of THETA XI You must not think. Sir. that this is the customary way to greet visitors. Far from it. We merely have organized this system of which you have l cen the victim as a precautionary measure to insure weary brothers finding their way home. Our Ixiys are all enthusiastic youngsters and an- very liable to go to the last limit of their endurance in their desire to Ik- of service and often arrive home completely exhausted. We have adopted this system to save them the weary climb up our many steps . Sir , I said, with open mouth, let me congratulate you on your veracity. You will make an excellent lawyer. At this I was welcomed by one and all ami offered several grades of choice Mail Pouch and Five Brothers tobacco, which I declined on the ground that my jaws were already tired. My new-found friends were most entertaining an l did everything | ossihlc to make my stay a pleasant one. even insisting that I go out and examine the T.X. inlaid in their concrete sidewalk. One of the Pledges was brought in to show their ingenious method of awakening the brothers, and talked for several minutes, al out the most glorious air arising and partaking of the In-auties of the morn ami the birds in the trees, etc. But I knew that I must Im- getting on. My time was drawing short and the fraternal spirits were getting into my blood. So after tearful farewells from one and all. and a promise to vote for their man for basketball manager for the coming year. I staggered once more down the steps and into the chilly night. 1921 THE THISTLE mmmmi After having retired Ix-hind a tr e and duly bolstered up my courage, I pulled myself together and again resumed my journey. For the peace and comfort of all I will not give expression to the thoughts which occupied my mind, hut merely say that I hud ceased to give hoed to the future ami only thought of the present. I had strolled hut a few yards down the unfortunate street already mentioned, when I turned in dismay at the strange sounds which greeted Iny ear. Surely some horrible deed must he in progress! The faint rays of the street lamp revealed two figures, seemingly engaged in a struggle of a desperate character, upon the porch of a low squatty house which fronted the street. Horrible hisses and throaty consonants came from the lips of the two as they swayed hack ami forth, the like of which had never reached human ear In-fore, and to all appearances, the contest was a fight to the Finnish. With my customary courage, for indeed I am considered a brave man in all circles. I strode rapidly up to the scene of action and addressed the participants in a loud voice, demanding to know the reason for such unseemly disturbance. The two figures disentangled themselves slowly. “What yous I wine want ? one inquired slowly, in the peculiar hissing tone which had first attracted my attention. “We bane merely discuss the la-ag of Nation in friendly argument . Pardon me. sirs . I responded, much taken aback. “I thought that there was some foul deed Ix-ing done, and that perchance some one might require assistance. May I ask. sirs, whose residence this is? “Vas. sir , replied the taller of tin- two. swelling visibly. “This bane frat house. We bane TAT GAMMA Pill Will you not come in. kind sir? lie concluded. At once I made myself known and told him concerning my mission and was immediately taken inside and introduced to the brothers, whose names, Ix'ing naturally | oor at spelling. I will not attempt to reproduce. All seemed to have been studying industriously, and as one of the brothers wearing a small gold-appearing key hanging on his watch chain appeared, all saluted respectfully. “Is he the President , I inquired, thinking that this fraternity had indeed a great amount of respect for its older members. Naw. he bane , here the speaker paused reverently while all bowed their heads. “Tau Beta Pi”. And the respectful silence lasted fully a minute. Ix-fore he concluded, Tau beta Pi have made us a great honor. Only two languages are now spoke at Tau Beta Pi meetings—Hebrew and Swedish . The conversation with many of the brothers was most interesting ami I soon found myself falling into their pleasant dialect. But I must tear myself away, and rising I murmur a few words in the Mother tongue, and eall for my hat and coat. With promises all around to visit Sweden the following summer. I bid one and all a broken farewell, and calling to straying brothers in marked contrast to the clammy night I bid one ami all a broken farewell, and calling I bane sec you soon , once more melt away into the dreary dark, the red roof beckoning to straying brothers in marked contrast to the clammy night. With tears in my eyes. I approached a gentleman on the street and seized him by the lapel. My nerves had given way completely and I hardly knew that of which I spoke. “Sir . I said wildly, As you are a living man of flesh and blood, heed my prayer. I am weary of this terrible place. I want to go somewhere far away from this angry mob. somewhere many days' journey hence, far. far from this awful school. Oh. kind sir. as you have a heart within your chest, do you know of such a place ? The stranger’s face brightened and his eyes lighted up. “Certainly , he replied, “I know of just such a place. You may go to—er. go to DELTA I'PSILON According to his directions I stumbled into a car and there collapsed into u painless condition of lethargy which lasted for possibly a half an hour. At the end of this time I awoke and asked the conductor if I was approaching my destination. Hell. no , replied he. “you ain’t started yet”. So I again collapsed 1921 373 THE THISTLE into n state of dreamless slumber. At length, after several hours had thus flown on the wings of time, and the car had droned on its way for many miles, the conductor shook me by the shoulder. Iley. you , he rasped, here's your stop, if you aim to get off'’. And he gave me a pitying glance that spoke of previous experience with the Darned Unfortunates. When I alighted from the car I found myself in a prosperous district with an elegant church standing prominently on the corner. Somewhat encouraged I made my way up the Avenue, and shortly came to a house set hack from the corner in quiet majesty, with the general appearance of last year's hut made over for Spring. As I turned in the walk and was about to inquire of one of the inmates if I were correct in my supposition that this was the abode of Delta I'psilon, there came a tremendous smash on the corner, and before one could breathe, the cry of “Accident accident”, and a tremendous rush from the interior of the mansion. Sonic twenty or thirty youths came piling out of the house, but seeing that there was only one man hurt and that neither of the collided automobiles had any loose parts, turned back in disgust, exclaiming that it was a false alarm. At this point I had the temerity to approach one of the undressed members. “Pardon me , I hesitated, “but can you tell me if this is the home of Delta Upsilon? Sure , he made answer, “but we won't have no money until next week. We don't own this , he continued, waving an arm toward the mansion, we just rent it. so don’t get no false impressions , and with that ho walked away. Somewhat taken aback I waited a few moments lx fore I summoned up the necessary courage to approach another brother and make known my mission, who, it may be said, received me with the air of a democratic emperor on his at home day. Upon entering the house, I was much struck with the lieautv of the interior. | olished as it was, and illuminated with dozens of electric light bulbs, hail they been lit. I was immediately ushered into the parlor and seated comfortably upon a spacious divan which was all tin rage in the good old days of 1842, and there fell into pleasant conversation with several of the brothers. “We are , a blackhaired youth with many teeth, was saying, in a very fortunate position this year. In many sports we are represented in force for several months at a time. 'I , he blushed modestly, had the honor to become Baseball Manager during the past year and one of the brothers who is waiting at this moment not far away, by sheer force of merit, has succeeded me for the coining season. Many of our members are of a pronouneed Literary Bent, and caring nothing for pecuniary remuneration, have given all their time in the past few years to tin- publishing of an exceedingly humorous magazine which at least twice a year prints an excellent original joke . Here one of the brothers entered, and to my astonishment, all those iii the room arose and stood at attention until he hud passed. The biggest man in sehool” one of the brothers murmured reverently, “and so democratic! He s|H-aks to all of us on the campus . I groaned in spirit. Foiled again! “My dear Sirs”, I cried, getting to my feet, “I had no idea it was so late. I really must be going and thank you each and every one for a most enjoyable evening . And shaking off all detaining hands I rushed forth into the street and boarded a passing car. I must Ik brief, the time grows short, and I shudder to think of my repeated disappointments. At the Opheleum house I was most respectfully received by both Kappa Sigma and their own men. and beguiled a few weary moments while the brothers exhibited their skill in Indoor Golf and the method of proving that Ik it ever so humble, there’s no brew like Home. A stocky red-haired youth entertained us for an eternity with an exhibition of ballroom dancing, concerning which I hesitate to think, and an interesting race was staged between two rival teams of bricklayers. The Xi Sigma Upsilon brothers proved most agreeable ami all factors for a lively evening's entertainment were provided. Despite the fact that one of the brothers embarked on his evening's trip to Frantz, and that another kept insistently stating that he was the besh lil 185 lb. tackle in the United States”, we were agreeably entertained by an agreeable plump Irish youth who presided over a trial to determine whether or not a pledge should Ik allowed to defeat himself in a ten-round bout. A good time was had by all. 874 1921 10:30 1 M. at Morewood and Forbes At the Kappa Signia Rho domicile I was introduced to many and varied entertaining brothers, among whom were several high school prodigies about to enter college the following year. The Government of Industries was present and graciously condescended to converse with me for a short period of time, and exhibited all the eccentricities of the house inflicted by the late Sigma N'us. An announcement was made that one of the older brothers was now the proud papa of twins, and that the twins had already expressed their desire to take the pledge to the fraternity. The blond-mustnched steward made an announcement that hereafter all men would l e required to wear red pajamas. The suggestion was greeted with cheers. 'Flic Phi Kpsilon Pi's received me with handshakes all around and insisted that I partake of the refreshments of ham sandwiches and milk. This fraternity, the only non-sectarian organization in school, proved exceedingly entertaining, and we talked until our hands were aching. But I must hurry on: words are failing me fast. Delta Kpsilon Omega was also duly visited, and pronounced satisfactory. Several entertaining pledges conversed in a pleasing manner on the superiority of red hair in football, and although they were unable to remember what fraternity they were pledged to, nevertheless showed an excellent comprehension of Fraternity and School affairs. Despite their proximity to the dormitories, they maintain a policy of strict seclusion, and since the late Sigma Nil house passed into other hands, have retired into hermit-like isolation, from which they cannot be roused. Alpha Pi, the smaller and newer of the two pies, seemed exceedingly proud of their new house and despite the deadly competition which they must face, are finding the field from which the brothers may be picked larger as the years go on. It is rumored that they find great trouble in keeping a certain one of the brothers, who hails from Norfolk. Ya.. home nights, and that Squirrel Ilill exercises a great fascination for said brother at all times. And now, my friends. I am weary. There is no more of this sad story which must not remain unsaid, and those secrets' which I carry within my heart must remain locked there forever. Alas, those crystal hopes which I had builded within my soul have crumpled into heaps of clay; that which was sought, was sought in vain. I feel the surge of madness coming upon me; my poor worn brain struggles beneath its black load of damming facts. The Greek Alphabet dances in fantastic cadence before my vision; the sounds of crime committed in the name of jazz ring in my ears, and I see a confused mass of sleek youths approaching me from every side. There is no escape; there is nothing can save me now. I have contracted that deadly malady, fraternitvitis, and must be condemned the rest of my days to prate about Phi Dclts and Kappa SigS and Chi Phis, until those about me shriek in wild despair. Pledge pins of every sort anil hue flicker in strange confusion; everywhere is chaos. I can’t afford it God Knows I m too poor to join; I’d like to, but Ah, my mind is wandering. I must cease. Farewell, oh thou Wandering Greeks. I hear strange noises calling me. Tis but the dinner Ih II of my boarding house----------. 375 THE THISTLE Acknowledgments Miss Agnes Hihi Miss Elizabeth Kuhn John Thomas Hoyle T. S. Hepplier H. H. Guyton Karl F. Hausauek Albert C.
