s THE ThlitLe NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY NINE Published by THE JUNIOR CLASS CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ★ Pittsburgh, Pa. BERYL E. WARDEN To Beryl E. Warden, recently appointed Dean of Men, we respect' fully dedicate this, the 1939 volume of the Thistle. Doctor Warden has been a constant companion in our brief stay here at Carnegie Tech, first as professor of Economics and Commercial Law, then as Advisor to Men, and now as Dean. May we also extend our congratulations and best wishes to the new Dean. Beryl Edward Warden, A.B., J.D. Dean of Men and friend to everybody, Doctor Warden came to Carnegie Tech in 1929. He received his degrees at the University of Iowa. K My mmst We) have all seen the Plaid’s emblematic Tartan hoisted to new highs in the now rapidly fading college year. Reminiscent of the days not so far gone are the gay evenings at any one of the countless dances, the thrills and shouts amid dozens of hot dogs of the victorious football season, the none too chipper Saturday morning eight'thirtys, and the countless sessions with the beloved slide rule, frying pan, make-up box or what have you. We have tried to set forth in this year's Thistle the high lights of the past year. A great many thanks are due Larry Miller and Bill James for their help with pictures, to Mr. Davis for financial guidance, and more than any to Russ Snyder of the Pontiac Engraving Company whose all round help made the 1939 Thistle a reality. We all hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed putting it together. __ -The . professors as you lil(e to see them . or how we spent the last four years hot a7id cold, there are many of them . those intimate little campus groups they “fought for the glory of Carnegie ATH LETICS I, ORGANIZATIONS I • THE CAMPUS Sook O'ne I Behind the scenes of every smooth running organization stands a com' petent and efficient administration. They are the men who shape your destinies in a short four years, who see that the unpolished diamond becomes a crystahclear gem. They were here when we came and will continue to carry on long after we have gone, helping to make Carnegie Tech the fine school that it is. DOCTOR ROBERT ERNEST DOHERTY PRESIDENT In the brief span of three years, Dr. Robert E. Doherty has brought changes to the curriculum and outlook of the college that have definitely turned up toward the better. An electrical engineer, he is one who can and really does understand the problems that face us. Committee on the Institute Left to right: A. K. Oliver, W. S. Moorhead, Robert Garland, H. E. Eavenson.

Those who have gone before leave us a herb tage of fine accomplishment and those who are still with us have given a friendly co-operation that has made our college life worth living. With their example before us and the foundations they have laid, we will be un-worthy neophytes if we do not “carry on” the “spirit” that is Girnegie. Beryl E. Warden Dean of Men Beryl Edward Warden Dean of Men It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to extend to the Editors of the 1939 Thistle my appreciation for their work in making possible this book. It is always a pleasurable experience to read the record of the year when the Thistle first comes to campus. My greatest pleasure, however, will come in the years that follow when I go to the Thistle and find photographs of individuals and stories of events which recall memories of the year. May all the students on the campus have similar experiences.

Cental Studia Student Council WILLIAM A. SMITH .... President CHARLES FEGAN . . . Vice-President NANCY McKENNA .... Secretary H. EVERING WEBB, JR. ... Treasurer s ROLLIN V. DAVIS Executive Secretary Editor's Npte:—In view of the fact that the Carnegie Tartan has carried any number of articles on Student Council in the past year, and knowing that any student not already well acquainted with the intricate worlpngs of the Council never will understand it, we talp this opportunity to speal{ editorially. What is stated below is the opinion of the Editor of 1939 Thistle, and should not be construed to be the opinion of any organization or group or any persons connected with them. Student Council is in the transition period; whatever the outcome shall be is still a matter of grave doubt. The present plan of election, organization and development has more good qualities than any of the other so called “remedy” plans proposed. The trouble attributed to organization and election, to say nothing of representation, has been entirely mis'directed. Student Council functions smoothly, clears up the business before it in a business like manner, promotes the best interest of publications and campus groups, and promulgates its desire to see a better Carnegie Tech. Our proposed plans, presented by the various “outside” factions, blame the supposed corruption of Council on its method of election and representation. The fault lies not with Student Council and its methods, but rather with the commuter and small membership groups themselves. It is up to them to organize their groups; to get to the polls when election day comes around and not to be swayed by others and then complain about the way the situation is being handled. [20J With regard to the group representation plan, limit' ing the number of representatives on Council to the number of ballots cast and dividing the representa' don among the groups: fraternities, commuters, and dorms; there is not much that can be said either way. It is a recognized fact that the best men on the campus belong to the fraternity group. There are several exceptions but these are few and very scat' tered. To divide the representation equally between commuters and fraternity would be defeating the primary objective of democratic government, namely, to get the best man into office. The department plan is by far the most soundly founded proposal to date, but it too has disadvaiv tages. With national government and “silver states parlance, each group would be fighting for its own department rather than for Carnegie Tech in general. There is a sense of seniority that exists in council now that would vanish if the department plan were instituted. The superiority of members by reason of class, or rank, not only helps to temper the some' what rash ideas of the newcomers, but also gives the older and more experienced men the say. i Dn tetjjta tetn Itu Council OFFICERS President Samson Huey Secretary Robert Wood Treasurer Vincent Morrissey Promoting the best interests of its member fraternities and keeping them together in harmony is the work of Interfra' ternity Council. With the help of Dr. Neelley of the Mathe' matics department, Interfraternity Council has come to be recognized by even the most unobserving as a decided dominant force on campus. For the first time for several years. Council decided to try the open rushing season with its connecting flares. At the outset its results were doubtful, but when the final tabulation of men pledged was taken, the new program was found to be overwhelmingly successful. More boys took up the bonds of fraternity last year than any of the recent rushing seasons. Interfraternity Council sends four men to represent it on the Intramural Athletic Board. This past year basketball, bowl' ing, swimming, ping'pong, and softball were sponsored by the Council with success. A greater interest in the entire athletic program is quite apparent, giving all indications of a growing desire on the part of fraternity men to enter into competition with each other. Ranking second only to Spring Carnival in popularity and attendance, the Interfraternity Formal this year brought to the campus that master of music, Isham Jones and his orchestra. A natty compact favor with the fraternity Greek letter names written across its face gave the dance an even finer sense of sophistication than was expected. {22} )n ietiototltu IntepSorority Council is the organization which is responsible for setting forth the rules which are to govern the conduct of all campus sororities in matters affecting more than one soror' ity. The Council is an invaluable aid in avoiding intersorority hairpulling contests which threaten to develop during such periods of stress as rushing season and election time. The Council is made up of a senior and a junior member from each of the seven Tech sororities, three of which are in Marg' aret Morrison and four in the Fine Arts School. The president is chosen from among the junior members who have served a full year. Margaret Fauntleroy has held the reins during this year. Two Vice Presidents are elected, one from each school. These officers this year are Bernie Erb, a member of Beta Pi, and Betty Stevens, of Alpha Theta Sigma. The Secretary is Dorothy Ey, and the Treasurer, Eleanor Bright. Second in importance to the Council's duty of making rushing rules is their sponsorship of the annual InterSorority Formal, held this year at the Urban Roof of the Hotel William Penn. Music was provided by Howard Baum and favors were given to the lucky boys chosen as escorts. Council OFFICERS President Margaret Fauntleroy Vice-President Betty Stevens Secretary Dorothy Ey Treasurer Eleanor Bright For the last twelve years the Council has overseen the award' ing of the Inter'Sorority Scholarship Cup to the sorority with the highest average factor. The custom of holding such a competition to encourage study among sorority girls was instituted by Gamma Gamma Gamma. {231 OU tic I ! OFFICERS President Jack Depp Vice-President Lee Mosena Secretary Carl Strick In order to keep the dormitory residents acting in harmony with each other, a Dormitory Council has been set up. It is the duty of the Dorm Council to maintain good living conditions in the dorms as well as to provide an active social program. Since this responsibility is a heavy one, it is essential that the duty of guiding men through the year be carried by those who are responsible. The success with which the Dorm Council has operated points to the fact that the men in the dorms are taking a greater interest in their common welfare. Basketball and mushball seasons found the dorms well represented, the quintet from Welch Hall being nosed out for the leadership of League B only after a tough fight with the Architects. In conjunction with the girls Dorm Council, the men hold their annual Dorm Dance. Needless to say, a large crowd always attends to make the affair a success year after year. More and more men have established themselves in the dormitories, mostly because of the upward trend in living conditions. This last summer Welch Hall was entirely redecorated so that it now stands with Henderson Hall as one of the finest dormitories in Western Pennsylvania. The Dorm Council appoints monitors, usually from the graduate students living in the dorms, who act as big brothers to the residents. This plan leads to greater harmony and satisfaction among the men. The Dorms compete with each other for the Scholarship cup, a highly valued prize. [24] The Women’s Dormitory Council, which is affiliated with Student Council, is the governing body of the Women’s Dormitories of Carnegie Tech. It was created for the purpose of maintaining a high standard of conduct among those students under its jurisdiction. With the advise and aid of Dean Green, it has endeavored to keep up these standards. A great responsibility rests upon the Council members to see that wise regulations are made, and that they are carried out. The Council is made up of sixteen members: the President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer of the Student Government Association of the Women's Dormitories, elected by all dormitory girls; the Upper-class House Presidents and Vice Presidents, elected by the members of the various houses; and the Junior House Presidents. The present officers are Evelyn White, President; Jeanne Anne Ritchie, Vice President; and Elinor Brosius, who is Secretary-Treasurer. The girls are chosen for their character, leadership, loyalty, and scholastic standing. They have all distinguished themselves in these respects. Council meets regularly once a week to discuss matters pertinent to the students living in the Women's Dormitories. This year it gave the students a chance to become more familiar with its activities when a mass meeting was held at the beginning of the school year. At the present, dormitory regulations have been amended so as to be more acceptable to the women residents. The Council has endeavored to establish equality among all the dormitories they govern. Women! tPotm Council OFFICERS President Evelyn White Vice-President Jeanne Anne Ritchie Secretary Elinor Brosius (251 Sook'fwo Every morning at eight'thirty, twenty me hundred students -engineers, maggie'murphs, dramats and architects pour through the corridors of the Institute. In a brief four years, careers have been molded, some for great things, but everyone fitted to better represent to embarking American youth. Without college this could hardly be possible, with it a dream becomes a startling reality. [28] • ENGINEERING HALL Haut t. Dorshcimer Caraerclli, Siont Hugher, Deemcr, Mundo Hdmfin, Rehr.borg, Huey, Efser UnjlneetitiG The Engineering School has as its aim, not only the teaching of technical knowledge but also the development of culture and leadership among its undergraduates. By encouraging a wide program of extracurricular activities and by including in its curricula courses designed for broadening the interests of the students, the department has attacked the question of the duties of the engineer to society. The relationship of the engineer to economic problems has been recognized as needing more development than any other engineering subject, and already steps have been suggested by the school as a remedy for engineers’ present lack of appreciation that this problem exists. In the technical branch, the engineers have advantages possible only in this location. The proximity of the large industrial plants makes field trips possible to engineers in all lines. By contact with the numerous research laboratories in Pittsburgh, Carnegie engineers have been able to pioneer in advancement of technical training. The George Westinghouse Scholarships are an unusual example of the advantages which the Engineering school has gained through cooperation with leading local manufacturers. Klein.

Such a degree qualifies its holder to a position in the printing industry which was formerly open only to men of long experience and training in that trade. In addition to their training in actual press-work, the department is encouraging the development of managing, layout, and advertising skill so that the future operators and owners of printing plants will not he limited in their planning or supervision. Aided by an endowment from the United Typothetae Association of America, the department has equipped its laboratories with all the machinery used in print shops. Because the maintenance of this machinery requires thorough knowledge of its operation, the students are also given fundamental mechanical training in conjunction with the Department of Engineering. Many of the students have already worked in print shops which enables them to state definitely what they desire to gain from the course. Few schools can boast of such a select group of students already experienced in their profession. • Presswork • Hand Composition {34] Barnes C.azen Cunningham DraWpn Ester Friedman Fouse Hemdl Loevner Silher Thomas Vassar Williams Wong Wright Zauuic i •Joseph E.

[35} • Photo-Lithography Forty percent of the waste in industry is due to inefficient management! One must realize that in dollars and cents this forty percent mounts into billions. In a nutshell, eliminating this waste by training men in the principles of efficiency is the tremendous task facing the Department of Manage' ment Engineering. To be able to cope with situations confronting a Management Engineer, the student must have a working knowledge of all branches of industry. The Department endeavors to give the conscientious student as broad a course in engineering as is possible. For instance, the Management student learns a little about each branch of engineering so that in actual practice he may be able to control and direct any undertaking. Included in the program are weekly trips to numerous manufacturing plants in and around Pittsburgh and speeches by men who are authorities in their professions.

Wehn, Lawrence, Malakoff As late as 1920 the name of Chemical Engineer meant little more than re' search or control chemist, someone in a little known held. Since that time, in the brief space of two decades, the profession of Chemical Engineering has risen to become one of the fast progressing and most rapid advancing vocations today. Progress in Chemical Engineering demands that its men be trained in lines of work covering almost the entire held of engineering and science. Industries previously thought to be everlastly immune from development by chemical engineers now find them indis' pensable. Carnegie Tech goes far toward supplying its share of the nations chemical engineers. The department at Tech has ex panded rapidly and radically in the past four or five years. The advent of new professors, new methods of teaching and a new cirricu' um a combine to give today's student the proper outlook on the rapidly changing pro-fession, fitting him for an important job— advancement of mankind.

Whole new industries have sprung up based entirely on electrical engineering. The vocation and profession of the electrical engineer takes him into fields little known to the laymen. Propelling the largest ships, delivering a line of power miles across the country in a steady stream, guiding airplanes with radio beams, operating a cable which permits telephone conversation around the globe, such are the fields that lure the elec' trical engineer. Tech's students are trained in the fundamentals of the profession, in the theory and handling of direct current and alternating current machinery, in transmis' sion circuits, and in the fundamentals of the various types of communication. Adequate lab facilities and a power plant give the student necessary training in handling machinery. • Electrical Engineering Lab [48] Arnmrcmg Barl(le Bar low Bean Goss Domras Dombush Fitch Ford Gciu Halstead Hdzeldine Heifrich Henderson Higgins •Donald E.

Mehl, Head Department of Met' allurgy, Prof. Krivobok, Fettke; Asst. Prof. Gensamer, Rhines; Lecturer Dr. Barrett Thirty years ago Metallurgical Engineering as a profession was almost unknown. Mechanical, civil, or electrical engineers, in dealing with metals, made use of their own education and experience; in foundry and mill the “rule of thumb” satisfied operators. But with industry's steady progress, the demand for metals became increasingly greater. The demand was for metals correctly melted, correctly treated or machined, and designed es ecially for certain uses. This required men trained in the art of developing metals, and the result was a new field, Metallurgical Engineering. Now when the mechanical engineer wants a special bearing metal, or the electrical engineer needs a new high conducting metal, he consults the metallurgist. In conjunction with the Metals Research Laboratory, the course at Carnegie pro vides a sound foundation in metallurgical engine ering and research, upon which the student can build a knowledge of metals and alloys in some special field. • Annealing Furnace [52] • William A.

McCullough, Head Depart' ment of Civil Engineering; Prof. Stanton, Thomas, Dunnells; Asst. Prof. Daniels, Evans; Instructor Kohl With the erection of Boulder Dam,rand the launching of subsequent irrigation pro' jects, Civil Engineering has made a step to come back into its own. For the past • Running Water decade the outlook of civil engineering has changed completely. Before, we looked to the construction of massive homes, office buildings and bridges to find the majority of work of civil engineers. Today the trend seems to be toward prefabri' cation, and as mentioned before much work is carried on by the government agencies along the line of public works. Tech Civils receive their training along sev' eral lines. Sanitary Engineering, a branch of civil engineering, finds promise today in a world where the problem of sewage disposal is an important one. Along an' other line, and following the example of Frank Lloyd Wright, many civil engine' ering are taking to architecture; here the application of sound engineering principles to architectural design is becoming daily more important. 156J Als-ton Chrimiano Coleman Connell Cuianeflo Duty Gallagher Hume Kazmann Logan Lombardi Ktchol Rmguood Wetiig Campbell Lang • Clyde M.

The course in mechanical engineering aims to supply the fundamental training necessary for all of the various occupations comprising the field of mechanical engineering. Attention is paid to the fundamental subjects of thermodynamics, measurements, machine design, kinematics, and the like. The aeronautical option omits those courses not directly beneficial to the aeronautical engineer, and substitutes in their stead such studies as aerodynamics, theory of flight, airplane design, and aero motors. The heat option borders slightly on chemical engineering, for both of these fields are concerned with the combustion of fuels, heat transfer, and refrigeration. The plumbing option prepares a student for the rapidly increasing field of ventilating, air-conditioning, and plumbing. The scope of the course is so broad that a graduate is able to find work in any of the principal industries. • Fuel Testing [58] Ai vr Bdumiin Bower Breverman Aryan Cameron Campbell Carnelly Charlton Chass Cratsley De Merit Depp Dtd erhofe Fegan Fieldson Fixes Flinn • Michael Asper, Blairsville; Soccer . . . • Clem C.

[62] • Material Testing Tine -@tt5 What was the inspiration behind the idea that made Arthur Hammerschlag build the College of Fine Arts? At first the white elephant of the school, this college has grown, expanded, and become recog' nized as one of the finest in the country. The Drama school has a reputation for excellence, and the de' partment of architecture can boast of a reputation equalled by few if any. Arts school is totally different than engineering, each group of students looking upon the other with somewhat of a quizzical smile, and muttering about the state of the weather. To the campus in general the arts seems like a madhouse, with its painters and architects tearing back and forth in varigated smock, the dramats and their constant quips, the phone booth theory, and all the rest; but to the young artists themselves the school is indeed a sanctuary. The arts faculty is molding these young minds and bodies to a product that will in itself be an ac' complished artist, and if not this, that will have a keen sense of appreciation for the fine arts. Not everyone can paint or act, in fact, the accomplished are few, but everyone can learn to enjoy good, music, drama, sculpture, and painting. Might this serve as an incentive to the curriculum committee to include arts appreciation in the “cultural program for engineers? Lttlc, Orr Brown, Dent.

Charcoal dust, oil paint and scars from cutting tools added their bit to the atmosphere of the fourth floor. In contrast to the usual cyclone'swept ap-pearance of the studios, the new table tops looked out of place for months. The only outside work at' tempted by the students this year took the form of a collaborative project. Any unofficial observer, lingering around the arts school for a bit of rare atmosphere, couldn't help but detect the usual odor of clay and the sight of any numbers of queer shapes of sponge. These we learned were to become the trees and hedges for gardens that the sculpture students had planned for a local project at the Arts Center. Mr. Ellis hopes that a similar problem will become an annual occurrence, such as the great collaborative project, for through practical problems of this kind the stu-dents derive a sharper and more appreciative idea of the broad field of applied sculpture. The department, although small on quantity has nothing to ask in the line of quality, its student ever ranking among the chosen few.

Julius Ceasar, the major production of the year, was a big success and the radio programs and Little Theatre plays entertained Pittsburgh theatre lovers as well as a host of appreciative campus fans. The parties held after each production did much toward promoting the spirit that is ever present with the ‘dramats The expression “Have Crew continues to connote as much work to the dramats as did the phrases “Have Judgment and “En Charrette to their brother and sister artists. Last year as in years before, the dramats helped to fill the casts and occasionally take a lead in the productions given at the Pittsburgh Playhouse.

Under the direction of Professor Hitchens, the Department of Architecture is undergoing a change, in that practical applications of design are being taught along with aesthetic principles. Stress is being placed on low cost housing and town planning, for these will be vital problems to the architect of the near future. Lawrence A. Kocher, an authority on low cost housing and modern materials, has been an invaluable addition to the department. This year, as in other years, tbe students of the Architectural Department have done consistently well in competitions, and, under tbe guidance of the experienced faculty, should continue to do so for many years to come. • Eleanor D.

The students today are looking to the artistic side of music, training themselves for pub' lie performances rather than teaching. It is the opinion of Dr. O'Brien and the faculty of the department that this is a decided trend upward in the world of music. The season this year has been very busy. Radio concerts were given in Feb' ruary, eight of the seniors had recitals in the Little Theatre, five concerts were held at the Carnegie Music Hall, and lastly came the Mass in which every student in the department participated. Music stU' dents seem to stand apart from the general Hurricane of the Arts school, being more conservative and less adapt to pulling hair and stumping. {74} Ml Davis Dumont Garter Graff Heua Heubner Jones Lewis Diesel Lomiilpn Mate Mitxiwll Miller Hock • Helen E.

Rather than adhering strictly to the idea of a liberal arts curriculum, Margaret Morrison combines professional training in various fields with subjects of general interest, such as English literature and composition, science, history, and languages. As Freshmen, the students take a general college course, but specialize more and more during the following years in their chosen fields. In this way the graduates are equipped to find positions in fields where there is a well-recognized need for college-trained women.

The course in foods and nutrition covers such subjects as nutrition, chemistry, public health, and cookery, preparing its students to be dietitians, teachers of household economics, or to manage large diningrooms in schools or restaurants and hotels. The Dress Design course of the Department of Costume Economics includes the study of dress design, textiles, applied design, dressmaking, home decoration, and specific clothing problems. The object of the course is to combine technical skill in sewing and design with a development of “fashion sense,” or the selection of clothes in keeping with the current mode and the personality of the wearer. The Vocational Home Economics course combines subjects from both the Household and Costume Economics Departments, with the object of train' ing girls to be teachers of these subjects in ele-mentary and high schools. {80} Cznjziic Hey I Lambie Lditjfer MacDonald Me Keon Million Rottenberg Sclueeitzer Stored Steele Toddie WeijcJiUridn • Sara E.

The girls in this department study English, history, sciences, economics, and various elective subjects, as well as shorthand, typewriting, and the operation of the many machines commonly used in business offices. They also learn the methods of filing records and the adaptation of these methods to particular cases. The study of modern business English enables the secretary to relieve her employer of the necessity of dictating a large number of rou' tine letters every day. In short, this course is designed to give both technical skill and an intelligent understanding of the broader phases of the secretary's job.

The Secretarial Minor course qualifies the student for certain types of secretarial positions. The Nursing course requires five years, three years being spent in Margaret Morrison and two in training at the Western Pennsylvania Hospital. The studies in Margaret Morrison supple' ment the usual three'year hospital course, and furnish a broader basis tor the important work of nursing. The General Science course is designed to prepare women for positions as laboratory technicians or for graduate research. The course includes mathematics, microscopy, four years of chemistry, and three of biology.

The course is essentially pre'professional in character, and is so arranged as to give the best possible preparation for graduate professional work, since the nationally accepted standards now require that such training be given after the bachelor's degree has been conferred. This year, for the first time, Carnegie Tech offers a master's degree in Social Work. The course requires two extra years and is open to graduates of other colleges as well. In the first year general training in social work is given, including both group work and case work. The second year includes social research and field work with social agencies engaged in case work, group work, or community organization.

Robert Bennett, working on “Gas Carburization of Steel Yunder the direction of Dr. J. C. Warner, head of the Chemistry Department. Bernard De Witt, has already published a paper on the thermodynamics of the cadmium-antimony system. Bernie received the M. S. last June from Carnegie Tech, and is continuing his research, under Dr. Harry Seitz, towards the doctorate. William Floyd is working on Kinetic, Medium and Salt Effects, in Solution Reactions, under Dr. Warner, and expects to receive his M.S. this spring, when he then intends to go to one of the schools, noted for its work in biochemical research, for the doctorate. Hugh McDonald received the M. S. from Tech in '36. He is now working with Dr. Seitz on the calculation of the entropy and free energy of titanium dioxide and iron carbide, from heat-capacity measurements. Mac expects to receive the doctor's degree this June. Bernard Pollock works with Dr. D. S. McKinney, on the calibration of a calorimeter, to be used in the determination of the heats of combination of organic substances. Charles Rudy is working on the Glass Electrode. With Dr. Fugassi, he published last year a paper on the Specific Heats of Organic Vapors. T. Arthur Sandenaw is working with Dr. Seitz on the thermodynamics of the tin-lead system. Martin Seidel is working with Dr. Stempel on the synthesis of some alkenes, and expects to take the Master's degree in June. The torch of Inorganic Chemistry is being carried on by Paul Snyder, who is working with Dr. T. R. Alexander, on the kinetics of the reaction between hypochlorite and nitrite ions. The field of Chemical kinetics of Gaseous Reactions is getting attention from Earl Warrick and Dr. Fugassi. Earl is trying to elucidate the mechanism of the thermal decomposition of alkyl holides. Paul Welsh is carrying out a problem in organic chemistry under Dr. Stempel, on the synthesis of glucose phenylhydrozone, and a study of some of its properties. With thirteen members on its roster, the Metallurgy Department has the largest graduate department in its history. Research is being pursued on a number of problems, although several of the students are concentrating their efforts on the problem of the decomposition of austenite, the high-temperature state of steels. William Johnson has developed with Dr. R. F. Mehl, department head, a mathematical treatment of the “Reaction Kinetics in Processes of Nucleation and Growth with particular attention to its application to the transformation of steels. Frederick Hull, is studying the process of nucleation in steels of different types transforming at high temperatures. Continuing on another phase of the same problem, George Pellissier is determining the effect on the rate of this transformation process through its effect on nucleation. He is co-author of a paper, “The Supposed High Temperature Polymorphism of Tin, the result of his earlier research work. Peter Vukmanic, is studying the constituents produced in the transformation of steels over a wide temperature range. {92} ■@t U otk Working on the mechanical properties of pure iron, John Low is doing his first year of graduate work here after having spent several years in industry. Low, working under Dr. Gensamer, is making a study of the mechanical properties of single crystals of iron as compared to those properties for polycrystalline specimens of the same material. Benjamin Lustman, has developed and published recently with Dr. Lebcrknight of the Physics Department a sensitive method for measuring minute oxide film thicknesses on iron. Allen Montgomery and Yung Kung Lee are working on the vacuum fusion method for the determination of gas contents in steel. Three students are doing their research work in the nonferrous field. Lawrence Jetter is making a dilatometric study of the rates of precipitation from metallic solid solutions, deriving his data from tests on aluminum-silicon alloys. Henry George is determining what effect the grain size of a metal has on the diffusion rate. During his first of graduate work Alfred Geisler, working under Dr. Rhines, studied the primary crystallization of metal solid solutions. The Physics Department this year boasts nine graduate students, of whom five are graduates of Carnegie Tech. Six of the boys are “downstairs in the Molecular Physics Laboratory, while under Drs. Pugh and Leberknight. James Bacon is carrying out his research in Dr. Leberknight's infra-red laboratory, studying the infra-red spectra of a group of substituted benzene compounds. Dick Dennison has been testing out one of the predictions of the theory of relativity by studying the light emitted by an electric spark produced inside a rapidly whirling glass top. Walter Reid is doing some preliminary work on the Hall Effect under Dr. Pugh. Of the boys in the Molecular Physics Laboratory, J. M. “Mike Glass is investigating the influence of certain gases on the orientation of space-uuantized atoms, and Bill Bessey is studying the diffraction of atoms at lithium fluoride cleavage surfaces. Fred Sclnvertz is studying the scattering of neutrons by liquid hydrogen. This year the department has two graduate students working in theoretical physics under Dr. Young, Charles Bartherger, Kenneth Keyes. Barty is making calculations on methane and related organic molecules. From its inception in 1936 with three students, the Graduate course in the Department of Chemical Engineering has grown until to-day there are nine men taking first year graduate work and six men taking advanced graduate work. In addition to these, there are numerous students from other departments enrolled in advanced chemical engineering courses. Many investigations of both theoretical and practical importance are being carried on by the students under the guidance of various staff members. The following problems are under investigation: (1) Crystallization of Copper Sulfate by Roderick Cowles, Rowland Stevens, and John Wehn, (2) Discontinuous Distillation by William Dirge and Ralph Sudekum, (3) Distillation using Packed Towers by John Swearingen, (4) Fluid Flow Near the Critical State by Robert Freeman and Donald Sener, (5) Heat Transfer in Annular Spaces by Richard Britton and William Franz, (6) Liquid Liquid Extraction by John Lawrence, (7) Pressure Drop in Packed Towers by Howard Malakoff. [931 •Otnonq the The Alumni Federation is one of the oldest organizations on the Carnegie Tech campus. It sprang into existence on the very day of the first commencement exercises, June 17, 1908. Now, over ten thousand alumni are kept in touch with the affairs of their Alma Mater by the activities of the Alumni Federation, and many services are rendered the institution through the interest and assistance of the graduates and former students. The two chief objectives of alumni support are the 1946 Endowment Fund and scholarship funds. The Alumni Fund, an agency under the auspices of the Federa' tion, appeals annually for contributions from the alumni to the endowment fund; the Steffen Memorial Scholarship Committee of the Alumni Federation, and the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia Women's Clans make yearly scholarship awards to worthy students. The Steffen Memorial Scholarship awards, approximately twentydive each year, are made to men with athletic promise. This is an appropriate tribute to the memory of Tudge Walter P. Steffen, one time beloved football coach at Carnegie Tech. The Pittsburgh Women's Clan Scholarship awards to women in the Senior class are memorials to Harriet Ellis, M'09, and Helen Stewart, M’ll, Miss Frances C. Parry, former professor of English at Margaret Morrison College, and Miss Tillie Moore, who for a period of twenty'five years was matron at Margaret Morrison. The Clan Scholarship Fund has been so successful during the past few years that more than four annual awards are now granted. The Alumni Federation consists of twenty'five clans which function as local clubs in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Erie, and Harrisburg, Pennsyb vania; Akron, Canton, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Youngstown, Ohio; New York City and Buffalo, New York; Baltimore, Maryland; Washington, D. C.; Boston, Massachusetts; Hartford, Connecticut; Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois, Gary, Indiana; Charleston, West Virginia; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Los Angeles, California. Per' haps members of the class of '39 may find themselves locating in some of these cities as they begin their first jobs. If so, they will receive a hearty welcome by the clans, and shall have opportunities to meet other alumni at social gatherings of various sorts. In New York, alumni meet regularly each month for luncheon. In Philadelphia, the clan has the use of an office in the business section of the city where alumni and others interested in Carnegie Tech may secure information. Smokers for the men, teas for the women and joint affairs dinners, golf parties, beach suppers, picnics, and so on, appear continually on clan programs. The government of the Federation is vested in the Alumni Council which is composed of delegates from the clans. The Council meets annually at Home'coming. The Executive Committee carries on between Council meetings. ■fUumni Across-the-Continent, Clan Day is the alumni celebration of the founder's birthday in November. At this time gatherings of all clans take place simultaneously, and messages are sent from one clan to another. Administration officers and members of the faculty visit the clans often. This keeps alive the bond of friendship between the alumni away from Pittsburgh and the Institution. Dean Tarbell has made a recent tour to fifteen clans where he has given his excellent illustrated talk on Old mid Hew Days at Carnegie. Alumni Homecoming is held in the fall, usually at the time of the Carnegie-Pitt game. Class reunions are a part of Homecoming each class holds a reunion every five years. List year, the events of the Homecoming program were attended by twenty-eight hundred alumni from all parts of the United States. President Doherty's annual address to the alumni at the Homecoming dinner is one of the important occasions of the two-day celebration- two days packed full of fun for the old grads. The Stadium swarms with alumni on the afternoon of Homecoming game and a dance after the game has been held at the Hotel Schenley for the past five years. The Carnegie Alumnus, a quarterly magazine, is the official organ of the Alumni Federation. It is sent to all graduates. The magazine devotes itself to news of the institution, the student activities, and the alumni. The address files at the alumni office are used by fraternities, sororities and the faculty for occasions throughout the year when alumni are needed for participation in some work or social activity. The Carnegie graduate ring which may be worn by those holding degrees is obtainable only by order from the alumni office. The ring is gold with an amethyst stone. The traditional thistle appears on the shank of the ring in a delicate design. Two alumni, Mr. John Liboon, E'12, and Mr. Frederick G. Blackburn, E'28, serve on the Board of Trustees, and on the Institute of Technology Committee. Mr. J. C. Hobbs, E'10, and Mr. Charles E. Wilson, E'09, are also members of this important committee. The officers of the Alumni Federation are: president, Rody Patterson, A'23; vice president, John A. Hagan, E'28; recording secretary, Eleanor Riesmeyer, M'24; chairman of 1939 Homecoming, William B. Shinkle, E'17; chairman of the Alumni Fund committee, J. W. Dougherty, E'll; chairman for the Steffen Memorial Scholarship Committee, A. J. Lois, E'34. Marguerite Spilman, executive secretary of the Alumni Federation, directs the field work and the alumni office. The new Carnegie Union is headquarters for the alumni as well as the student activities—thus a closer relationship has been established between the two groups during the past year. {95} Dn Memotlam . . .

[104 5 [105] Ifv Ike TootlraU In only his second year as head of the Carnegie Tech gridders Mr. William “Spike Kern has proved himself to be one of the best mentors in the game. Bill was presented with the Jacob Ruppert trophy for being the outstanding coach of the year. Big Bill himself, full length sweater and all, named last season as “Coach of the year.” {106J Before the football season last fall, Carnegie was rated by the experts as just another team, for what team with a record of five losses and one tie against two wins can be considered a football power? However, with the best freshman team in years coming up to fortify the varsity. Tartan followers began the cry for a national championship team. Early practice gave indications that Kern had plenty of use for such stellar members of the plebe squad as Fisher, Betz, Jordano, Rieth, Laposki, White, and Moersch. In addition to the sophomores, Bill Kern had on hand his staunch regulars from last season, Ray Carnelly, Whitey Lee, Pete Moroz, Curly Pyzynski, Ronny Gumbert, Kark Striegel, Paul Friedlander, Geo. GufTrey, Tiger Schmidt, Merlyn Condit, Bob Howarth, Johnnie Lloyd, and Geo. Muha. During the pre-season practice the team showed up fine with competition between the players for starting positions growing keener every day. This rivalry continued through the season as the Tartans bowled over Davis Elkins, Wittenberg, Akron, Holy Cross, Pitt, Duquesne, and North Carolina State and took a “decision loss from the Shamrocks of Notre Dame. It was one of the finest seasons that the Plaid had ever witnessed, coming through strong and hanging up seven wins against one close defeat. By virtue of our victories over the Panthers and Duquesne’s fading Dukes, we took the City Championship Trophy. The Lambert Trophy awarded to the best team in the east crossed Forbes Street and came to rest in Schenley Park. Carnegie Tech was variously rated from second to sixth by the scribes and received several feelers for post season engagements. The Sugar Bowl fell our way, and although the boys lost, it was a great help to Carnegie Tech and the school. [107) • One Hundred Men . .

Both teams fought on even terms the first period, hut early in the second quarter Ray Carnelly broke around end be' hind perfect interference and galloped 42 yards for a touchdown. Carnelly then calmly kicked point seven that meant the margin over Osmanski's initial kickoff tally in the second half. Big Bill from Massachusetts took the pigskin on his own nine and charged straight through for 91 yards. Jim Turner of Holy Cross missed the point and the game was sealed for Carnegie. Although plenty of time re-maining, neither team had enough of the ummph to push the pigskin across the goal line. Both teams got the ball down to the one yard marker only to lose it on fumble. Tech 0—Notre Dame 7 Playing to a near capacity crowd in the Rocke Memorial Stadium at South Bend, the Plaid suffered its first defeat of the season, in a game that came to be known as the famous “Fourth Down Fantasy. It was during this game that the referee, John Gettchel, pulled the most publicized boner of the year to pave the way for Notre Dames only score. Girnegie had the ball on its own forty'six, fourth down coming up. Gfittchel tod Friedlander the quarter to pay no attention t he scoe board, t was third down.

Tech 27—Akron 13 Although the Akron game was expected to be a breather before the Pitt game, the Tartans were given an unpleasant surprise when they ran into stiff competition from a fighting Zipper team and were forced to put out for victory. After the first eight plays, Akron had pulled away to a 7'0 lead. This reception served to arouse the Skibos from their lethargy long enough to even up the score a 7'7� but then the Tech lads dropped back to their day dreams and the half ended in a deadlock. Coming back after the intermission, Carnegie showed some of their customary fight and forged ahead to a six point lead. But the Zippers were not to be daunted and pro' ceedcd to add another tally to their side after a blocked kick. The Tartans at this point settled down as Muha and Zawacki scored to put the fracas on ice. Tech 20—Pitt 10 A large home-coming crowd was treated to one of tie greatest specta :les in he history of Tartan at lit tics wnan they witnesse i the contest that gave a- m gnificeatl victor - to a Cz rnegie Tech team that re u: ed to fee putpla red. Nc t only did the Tartans subdue the Panthersrbut they-came from behind to do it. When Stebbins ran the opening kickoff back for a touchdown, it looked like the same old story. Fserhi Buz Muha Schmid t [ 111} • 60 Yard Ray 1112} • Beat Pitt Moroz Howarth But the Skihos had been pointing for the Pitt game for many weeks and were not the kind to be dis-couraged. With Condit and Muha, the twin halfbacks, carrying the burden of a slashing offensive, the Plaid tied the score up at 7-7. The actual touchdown came on a pass from Condit to Muha. Pitt resorted to the same tactics they had used several times before kicking a field goal. The Panthers drove the ball down into Skibo territory and when further ground or aerial gains seemed to go for naught, Daddio booted the leather between the uprights and sent the across-Forbes boys into the lead, 10-7. From here on in the Skibos sweated blood and body. Just before the end of the half, Ray Carnelly faded back and tossed a pass to the out-streched and waiting arms of Karl Striegel in the end zone. It was a great day for the Tartans, leading at the half, 14-10. In the second half, all fears vanished as the Techites turned on the heat by scoring again, this time with Muha handling the pigskin. The Panthers were all at their wits end, and try as they may, they couldn't edge out the Tartans. Tech 21—Duquesne 0 It is natural that after the climax comes the fall, but the Tartans turned the tables and came through with an aerial win over Duquesne’s Dukes, tossing passes and completing three of them for touchdowns. This defeat for Dukes and victory for the Tartans moved the City Championship to our side of Forbes Street for the first time in ten years. Although the Tartans ran wild between the ten yard markers they didn't seem to have the running attack working [113] Pruger Tamnuiro Gumlvrt White Braun TootiaU smoothly enough to get the Kill into the promised land. The Dukes fought hard and kept the Plaid from scoring the entire first period, but a recovered fumble paved the way for the initial tally. Jordano tossed a pass to Karl Striegel in the second quarter, and the Tartans went out in front, 7-0. In the second half, Jordano tossed another one to Zawacki and Moroz flipped the third aerial to Cratsley to bring the totals to 210. Tech 14— N. Carolina State 0 Playing in the first snow that had fallen in North Carolina in November for many years, the Tartans proceeded to dust off the boys from State in classy fashion to make a perfect Turkey Day Classic. The snow hampered the passing and running attack of the Skibos, but behind the usual strong line and the seasoned backfield, the Tartans completed the season with seven wins against one lone defeat. Tech 7—Texas Christian 15 Playing their first post season game at the Sugar Bowl, the Tartans fought mightily but weren't enough to stop the power of the Horned Frogs. In the second period Connie Sparks drove the ball across the line to give the Southerners a 6-0 edge. Pete Moroz faded back later in the game and flipped a long one to Condit for a tally. Muha added the extra point and Carnegie Tech was leading at the half 7'6. In the middle of the third stanza the Tartans got a convincing taste of Davey O'Brien's deftness as the Mighty Mite flipped a touchdown pass to Horner and the Frogs led 12-7. Tech tried hard to bust up the passing of O'Brien but the little boy kept up his damage. The Frogs got down to the Tartan three yard line, where O'Brien booted a three pointer to make the final score 157, in favor of T.C.U. Rtier Wohlfarth StetU 1 i {114} • Victory Battle Ground Many honors were bestowed upon the members of the 1938 team. Campbell, Carnelly, Schmidt, Condit, Muha, and Reith were named on various honorary teams. Lee, Campbell and Carnelly have been invited to play with the Eastern AlLStars in New York this August. Fisher was named as a coming great by the scribes. Zauwcip Guffrey Styailany Kut2 {115} ■Quiumn • Varsity Rifle At the beginning of the season, Coach R. C. Sommer stated that he considered his 1939 team, considering their preseason form, to be one of the best teams he has ever had. And the team lived up to his expectations by compiling one of the finest records ever made by a Carnegie Tech rifle team. Of the 59 matches, including both postal and shoulder' tO'shoulder matches, the team ended the season with the fine record of fifty wins against nine setbacks . . . The highlight of the season was the smallbore championships of the National Rifle Associa' tion. The Tartans shot in the section that competed with the Naval Academy and es' tablished themselves as one of the country's great teams, second only to the midshipmen. In the National Team Postal Matches and the Hearst ROTC Championships, the Car' negie Tech shooters were runners'Up to the University of Maryland. Carnegie Tech played host to the annual Invitation Shoot and this year walked off with the top honors. This is a shoulder'to'shoulder match. George Roberts won the individual championships with 380 out of a possible 400. In the shoulder'to'shoulder match at the Naval Academy, Harold Greene broke all existing records at the Academy by register' ing a score of 390 out of 400. This is the Naval Academy record for fourposition shoulder'to'shoulder competition. High team scorer was Harold Greene for the second year in a row. Following him were Me' Millen, Roberts, Hudson and Minton, in that order. £ 116} Playing its toughest schedule since the instah lation of the sport three years ago, the Tartan soccer team came through with flying colors showing a record for the year of three wins, two losses and one tie. Pat O'Connor, the coach, had more material to work with this year than he had last year when the Skibos won two and dropped five of their contests. Although veterans Jimmie Pendelton, Mike Starzynski, and Bill Gehron were lost by graduation, several of the squad from last year returned. O'Connor built his team around Don West, Bill Kidney, Jimmie Duiv can and Alex Forrest. The Skibos turned back the Allegheny hooters after a close fight, 1-0. The teams were very evenly matched, and staged a game that saw the ball see-saw up and down the field, with the poor goalies running their heads off. After the local lads had punched one through for the count, they resorted to a strict defensive play and protected their margin for the remainder of the game. When the boys journeyed to Frostburg, Maryland, they were stopped before they had hardly started, losing the battle, 50. The Tartans made a comeback by tieing the high-powered Slippery Rock team on the Tech field, 2-2. The Teachers were slated by the scribes to trounce the Skibos, but found themselves lucky to get away with the tie. The following week the hooters traveled to Grove City and returned with a 30 win to their credit. In their last two games of the season they broke even, winning from Ober-lin 3-2, and dropping one to Franklin and Marshall 2-0. • Women’s Rifle • Varsity’Soccer (1171 the pace aui '.ckeni {120} V CALENDAR DECEMBER 9—Intersorority Formal 1 7—Christmas Recess.

Hannum, finished last season with a record of 11 wins against eight losses. Although there wasn't as much material available last season as there has been in previous years, there was plenty of spirit which accounted for the record the team made. From last year's starting team three men returned: Gordon Combs, Bob Stark, and Jimmy Tumpane. But conspicuous by their absence were such stalwarts as: Bill Miller, “Buzzy Greenberg, and Rosey Rosenthal. Returning from last year's squad were: Bill Levings, Walter Loos, Ed Miller, Fran Sturgeon, Mel Cratsley, Ray Carnelly; and from the freshman team came Randall Burch, Herman Hennessy, and Charles Erhard. Cratsley and Carnelly were not able to come out for the team until football season was over. Two other footballers, Frank Jordano and Chris Moersch, were out for the first two games after the end of football, but then they had to give up basketball because of scholastic difficulties. A lack of good reserves handicapped the team through the whole season, as more than one game was dropped for this reason. At the beginning of the year the starting five consisted of Captain Bob Stark, Jimmy Tumpane, Gordon Combs, Bill Levings, and “Whitey” Loos. These five played almost the full forty minutes of the early games, with Sturgeon and Miller serving in the capacity of substitutes. After the first few games Burch and Hennessy saw quite a bit of action, but both of these boys were declared ineligible at the end of the first semester. Although the addition of Cratsley and Carnelly helped the cause no little, Cratsley was handicapped the whole year with a bad knee and Carnelly could not be used for a while due to a broken ankle. Max Hannum had reason to feel a little disappointed when Combs was suspended from school right in the height of the season. Then footballers Fouse and Dunn were called out by “Maxie to bolster his team. [122} The Tartans started out as if they meant business by taking seven out of their first eight games, but they fell down during the second half of the schedule and dropped seven of their next eleven starts.

In the opener with Slippery Rock Teachers College, the lads had to go to the final event before coming off the victors, 41'34-Deacon Vance carried a pair of first places in the distance events and Molvie came through with a first and a second. The second contest was not so bright for the Tartans, Willis Anthony getting the only five point score for the local lads by his first in the breast stroke. Ohio Wesleyan gave the Plaid a thrashing in the third meet, coming out on top, 43'32. Washington and Jefferson fell victim 51'24, but the Kenyonites stopped the Tartans in their tracks 42o3, breaking several pool records to do it. After conquering Grove City, the lads traveled East to split, losing to Deleware U. and trouncing Temple. In the two last meets at home, Carnegie nosed out both oppenents to finish the season with a fine record for a Tartan team. The Tartan icers did not fare so well as their swim' ming cousins, but they did manage to beat the traditionally cellar clubs of Baldwin Wallace, and Fenn. The local lads added color to the Inter' collegiate City Championships by giving both the Panthers and the Dukes the run for their money. As last year, the scholastic axe took a large chunk from the hockey roster, claiming among others Culver, Captain Art Burleigh, and Ament. Spotlight of attraction for the Tartans was Fred “Red Light Feiler, the goalie voted most promising by the scribes and given alMeague basket post.

The staff made no mistake in electing Tom Patterson to top position. When Tom took things over, he did so with the full intention of accomplishing the task of increasing student interest in campus affairs and creating an atmosphere of achievement in unexplored fields. The campaign was launched early in October with the election of Miss Varsity, the queen of the Football season. To Miss Nancy McKenna, a senior in Margaret Morrison, went this honor. She was introduced to the school informally at the big pep rally held on the football field the night prior to the Pitt game. Enthusiasm ran high, and a college spirit hitherto unknown to Carnegie Tech students seemed to take control. The victory of the game brought on another rally and to the Tartan staff goes the credit for organizing and carrying out the most triumphant celebration Pittsburgh has seen in years. In November a poll was run to decide the fate of the Scotch and Soda Club, the organization responsible for the Spring Carnival Show. Recent opposition to the way in which the Club was run brought forth this poll to obtain student opinion. As a result, Scotch and Soda was unanimously requested to put on another show, but to remain under Student Council control at least until the business affairs of the club were more secure. (154} • The Staff The attempt to sponsor a Sadie Hawkins Week on the campus was not successful because of lack of cooperation from other organizations. The idea was taken up, however, by individual groups and was considerably successful. The biggest undertaking the staff attempted this year was the reorganization of school politics. Campus interest in elections had for some time been lagging, and all offices were in the hands of the twenty'percent minority. One whole issue of the Tartan was given over to the revelation of these disadvantages and to suggested reforms. The change most generally accepted as plausible was an idea that departmental representation might prove more successful. No definite decision was reached, but at least the campus became voting'conscious, and the elections in the spring received the greatest support they had had in years. Tattan. A paper burlesquing all school activities was put out on April 1. The whole idea was kept secret, and the paper came as a surprise to the student body. With this surge of activity the paper could hardly run on other than a profitable basis. Frank Silber saw to it that the nickels and dimes rolled in; Jean Frost took care of the women's end of the paper, and Alta Orringer sat in the copy editor's chair. These were the leaders, but the entire school was urged to contribute each week. All in all the Tartan kept its good reputation soaring, and its future possibilities mounting- [155} Technical. OFFICERS Editor in chief Robert A. Riester Managing Editor William Wright Business Manager David Edwards The Carnegie Technical, the student technical publication, is still in its infancy as it has just completed three years of successful presentation. This magazine has been more than assured a permanent place on the Carnegie Campus. Technical articles of wide variety are published with three main points in view. The first of these is to provide an outlet for the presentation of technical material written by faculty members, students, or graduates. Secondly, a technical background that can only be obtained from such a publication, is furnished to the readers. And last, the magazine offers an excellent oppop tunity to those interested in publishing a magazine from the business or editorial standpoints of experience. Since its beginning in 1936 the Technical has grown to a maga zine of thirty-six pages, appearing six times during the school year. Much of the Technical's success during the past year may be attributed to the expert leadership of those in charge. Robert Riester, as Editopin'Chief, William Wright as Maiv aging Editor, and David Edwards as Business Manager safely guided the staff through a year of successful publication. Other honors must go to the three men who comprise the ad-visory Board. They are Dr. W. N. Jones, Director of the College of Engineering; Professor Leo T. Lawler, of the Eng' lish Department; and Dr. R. F. Mehl, Head of the Metals Research Department. [ 156] Although The Scottie is “Carnegie's canine campus comic and has taken the place of the Puppet, its predecessor, it is entirely different and not just a continuation of the previous comic magazine. The Scottie has broken all of the Puppet's precedents and traditions and has succeeded during its first year to build up a very favorable reputation. The editor, Bob Hobbs, worked with his staff and produced a magazine under a new format “jokes are used to fill in the copy instead of copy used to fill in the jokes. When a new editor was to take charge of the publication, the staff broke all school publication traditions by selecting the first woman editor, Miss Ruth Martsolf, who has proved to be very cap-able in filling the position. The comic magazine included such things of interest to stu. dents as: Buried Bones, Bark and Bones, News Reviews, Fiction, Fashion, and Fleas (gossip to you, and any resemblance to persons living or on the campus is purely coincidental.) As for the features—an endless parade—we found fraternity and sorority plugs, a girls' football squad (caused plenty of comment), A1 Minetti (human interest), stranger-than-fiction about “Maggie Murph, the co-ed's “Hall of Flames, and the biggest “big beautiful bozo on campus, “armfuls of southern sunshine (the males on the staff still had a pull even if their editor was a female), interviews with Shaw and Goodman in the Swing Issue, and even hope to have the Spring Carnival program and songs from the show in the final issue. ”The Scottie ■?taH OFFICERS Editor in Chief Ruth Martsolf Business Manager Ralph Ives Women’s Editor Helen Ford 1157] OFFICERS Editor in chief Kenneth A. Van Dyck Women's Editor Mary Alice Cochran Business Manager Joseph C. Faloon The publication of the Handbook, Student Directory, and Song Book make up the work of the TriTublica-tions staff, which is known on campus as Tri'Pub. Staff positions this year are held by Ken Van Dyck, EditordivChief, Joe Faloon, Business Manager, and Mary Alice Cochran, Women's Editor. The Student Handbook, or Plebe Bible, is edited in the Spring and Summer of the year and distributed to students at registration. This activity is open to any student, freshman or senior, and two or three years' work merits activities keys. The Plebe Bible contains the traditions and regulations governing the actions of the men and women, eligibility rules, campus activities, and the officers of the various campus organizations. Information concerning the home and local addresses and phone numbers of every day student, the members of each fraternity, sorority, and honorary can be found in the Student Directory. Published each Fall, it also contains a list of the local merchants and the services they offer to Carnegie's students. The Tri'Pub staff also prepares the Student Song Book, which is published when the occasion warrants it. A true reminder of the spirit of Carnegie, its circulation has been slow among the students. [ 158} atneale Carnegie Tech can well boast of the most colorful college band in the country. With its kilts made from the Plaid of the Cameron Enacht Clan, it has a unique appearance that is hard to beat. The Kiltie was first organ' ized in 1910 and progressed remarkably fast considering that it was purely a student organization. In 1912 the school came through with support by hiring E. F. Sullivan as director. Sully has kept the Kiltie band in the lime' light of the nation’s news by his consistent efforts toward improvements. The present uniforms were secured in 1922 with the help of the Evening Student Council, which donated a large percentage of the needed funds. They are true and original Scottish Plaid straight from the highlands. Not resting on the kilts as the sole attraction, the Kiltie Band took to novelty, being the first band to form moving letter on the football field. Balloons, alternating the colors of the opposing team, are frequently floated during the halftime. Modernistic ideas are forever coming out of the brains of the managers. The freshman members have originated the Kiltie Stomp to keep the spectators on their toes during a time out or dull moment on the gridiron. Swing music didn't find the Kiltie Band far be' hind, for their arrangements are more welcomed than the usual marches. {160} ”Tech 5 Klltl tei In 1938, when Sully died, the Kiltie Band was left without the services of its guiding hand. It was not until J. Vick O'Brien, head of the Department of Music, stepped in that the hand again resumed its steady march forward. Under Vick O'Brien's seasoned tutelage, the band held a concert in the Carnegie Music Hall on April the nineteenth. It went over with such success that the boys have decided to make it an annual affair. The Kiltie Band is always in great demand when the football team plays out of town, old Carnegie Tech grads preferring to see the weaving Kilts as much as the varsity team. This year the band had its heydey, not only making the regular trip to Notre Dame, but also accompanying the team to the Annual Sugal Bowl Classic in New Orleans. In the South they were well accepted and lived up to their reputation by putting on quite a show for the local gentry. The Kind was a definite part of the basketball games this year as they entertained the fans between halves with music and such modern twists as performances with a lighted baton. To complete the year’s program the Band played at various social functions, including the Pittsburgh Christmas Parade. The Kiltie Band never need hang its head in shame, for it carries gallantly the tartan of Carnegie Tech. {161} IVomen 5 CfuiLJL OFFICERS President Betty Charters Vice-President Marjorie Mills Secretary Marianna Franklin An organization with a purpose of raising money for scholarship is always prominent on any campus, and certainly the Women's Guild does a good job. For 1938-39 Betty Charters, President, mapped out a definite campaign, and the results were very satisfactory. With able support from her Vice-Presidents, Jane Long, Marjorie Mills, and Mary Belle Patterson, she carried three Guild sponsored benefits to success. The first was the sale of candy in the dormitories, the second a football dance on October 15, and the third the annual Bridge Tea given this year on March 25 in the Carnegie Union. The proceeds of each of these benefits went to the maintenance of the scholarship fund the Guild has upheld for years. In addition to the benefits, the Guild has a Tag Day each semester also sponsored by the President. All of the philanthropic activities the Guild undertakes receive support from the entire campus. Members of the Guild are chosen from each women's organization on the campus. The President is always a Senior and is elected from the three Vice Presidents of the previous year. The secretary and treasurer can be members of any class. Both were sophomores this year- Marianna Franklin and Elizabeth Carroll. The meetings of the Guild were held the fourth Tuesday of each month at 12:30 in the Carnegie Inn. The Misses Jean Ludebuehl, Helen Topp, Lenore Donohoe and Dr. Warden sponsored the organization. {162} The Women's Athletic Association is an active organization to which every Tech girl automatically belongs. Its purpose is to encourage sports, especially among the Juniors and Seniors, who have no regular gym classes. Catchy signs help to bring out those who don't take advantage of this opportunity for healthy fun. Before school had even started W. A. A. activities were getting under way. During Freshman Week this group sponsored a play day, followed by a picnic supper, which gave the Freshmen a good chance to get acquainted. In the spring there was another sports day for the Pittsburgh high school girls. Almost every afternoon in autumn—even on cold days—girls who are interested in field hockey could be seen on the cut practicing in preparation for games with the other city colleges. Basketball, too, has taken its place with the intercollegiate sports for girls. This year the Duquesne team dropped two games to the Tech girls. Every Tuesday at 4:30 all the mermaids join the mermen for an afternoon of splashing and ducking; and a very successful swimming party was held one evening in February. Volleyball, dancing, horseback riding, and tennis are some of the other sports available for Tech girls. An archery tournament was held in the spring, in which Tech, Pitt, and P. C. W. girls competed. Awards are given to Juniors and Seniors according to a point system. The officers of the board this year are Irene Von Horvath, President; Bibs Creelman, Vice President; Flossie Craighead, Secre' tary'Treasurer; Eleanor Bright, Margaret Morrison Representa' tive; and Rosemary Novak, Fine Arts Representative. iWomen 5 thistle ■Qiiociatlon OFFICERS President Irene von Horvath Vice-President Bibs Creelman Secretary Florence Craighead (163!

But the tour of the city and the delicious corn roast which the Association sponsors for the incoming Freshmen are by no means the only activity which this non-sectarian organ' ization promotes throughout the college year. For instance, this year, in conjunction with the Women's Christian Association, this progressive group sponsored a one'week “Conference on Religion and Life. During this convention many of the nation's leading clergymen made numerous worthwhile speeches to the students at assemblies, luncheons and even in some of the classes. After the Association started the ball rolling, the fraternities and other groups on campus cooperated splendidly to make this one of the highlights of the year. To Mr. Rollin V. Davis, Executive Secretary, and to Charles Watkins, student President, go much of the credit for this fine showing. The Cook's Forest trip, which is a weekend camping excursion made each year, was one of the most successful ever held, due to the unusual interest taken by the Freshman members of the Cabinet. This trip, the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter dinners, as well as the many services performed, constitute the broad program which this good'fellowship organization promotes. In addition to Mr. Davis and Charles Watkins, the President, other leaders of this group include Richard Manning, the Vice President, and William W. Floyd, Secretary. [164] The Carnegie Women’s Christian Association, an organization of which every Carnegie a ed automatically becomes a member on entrance to the school, advances the physical, social, inteb lectual, moral, and spiritual interests of the young women on campus. One of their first undertakings is to greet the Freshman girls and help them to find the true Carnegie spirit. This is done by pro-viding Big Sisters from the Junior and Senior Classes, who coiv tact the Freshmen during the summer, welcome and befriend them during the difficult Freshman Week, and in general see that they find a place on the campus. A tea is held for the Big and Little Sisters early in the semester. The C.W.C.A. has monthly dinner meetings led by prominent religious leaders who discuss topics interesting to college girls, plus joint dinner meetings with the C.M.C.A. before the Christ' mas and Easter holidays. The Easter Dinner this year was a Spaghetti Dinner on Palm Sunday, held in the Union. The C.W.C.A. also sponsored a charity tea dance and gave the proceeds to a social organization in the city. The C.W.C.A. proved to be an invaluable aid during the highly successful religious conference week held on the campus during March. The annual and muclvanticipated Cook's Forest Retreat climaxes the year's activities. Here the girls, under capable leaders, take part in round table discussions of religious questions and also enjoy the chance to walk and ride in the beautiful mountain country. This year's officers were Dorothea Weber, President; Yvette Dorrance, Vice President; Louise McCullough, Secretary; and Betty Mathewson, Treasurer, all ably assisted by an efficient cabinet. (?atnejie U omen 5 htiitian liiociatlon OFFICERS President Dorothea Weber Vice-President Yvette Dorrance Treasurer Betty Mathewson {165} f (flee eu OFFICERS Manager Merle Parrish Secretary Jack Matthews This year the Men's Glee Club had one of its most active years since its organization. More concerts were given than ever before and the boys were particularly proud of their opportunity to sing with Fred Waring when he appeared at the Stanley theatre this spring. Early in the season, the Club gave recitals at Lenv ington School, and Third Presbyterian Church. A concert, at which there was an attendance of over eight hundred people, was given at the State Teacher's College in Indiana, Pennsyb vania. The boys also journeyed over to Pennsylvania College for Women to give a recital with the Girls' Glee Club there. Later the Formal Home Concert with the Women's Glee Club was held in the Little Theatre. Recitals given at Allison Park School, Geneva College, Dormont Presbyterian Church, and North Side Musical Hall rounded out the Club's successful season. The organization, which is composed of about forty-five members, meets regularly each week for rehearsals. This year the members elected as their officers the following: W. Merle Parrish, Manager; Andrew Kruper, Assistant Manager; Jack Matthews, Secretary; and Jim McGarvey, Librarian. Fred Graff, the well-known Kilty Band leader, was the Student Director for this year. Dr. Karl A. Malcherek was the Faculty Advisor and Director and Laurence Coulter was the Accompanist. In the late spring, at a dinner-dance, a new feature sponsored by the Glee Club just this year, keys for active service were presented to deserving members. {1661 The Women's Glee Club, under the general direction of Miss Antoinette Canfield, with Miss Lois Scheib as accompanist, began its season as usual in the fall of this year with tryouts, then rehearsals each week. The Glee Club gave its first concert in January, at the Sixth United Presbyterian Church. Following this recital were others given at the Unitarian Church, The East End Christian Church, and the Sixth Presbyterian Church, in which the Men's Glee Club also participated. Before the Combined Formal Concert in the spring, another recital was given at the Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church. At the Formal Concert, competition ran high between the Men's Club and the Women’s Club. Later other concerts were given for the Morningside Parent'Teachers Asso ciation and the School for the Blind. A Special Glee Club Choir, formed at the beginning of the year and made up of approximately twenty members, gave a recital for the Women’s Club of Wilk-insburg in the spring. At the annual banquet activities keys for participation were presented, silver keys for two years' work and gold ones for four years. The officers of the Glee Club for this year were the following: Margaret Nock, Manager; Margaret Watson, Assistant Man' ager; Catherine Cegler, Secretary; and Betty Williams and Janet Stover, Librarians. (flee eu OFFICERS Manager Margaret Nock Secretary Catherine Cegler [1671 (Committee The function of Student Council which perhaps more than any other interests Carnegie students as a whole is that of producing a Spring Carnival which will live up to all that the students expect it to be. This job is delegated by StU' dent Council to its Spring Carnival Committee, under Dave Morrison, Spring Carnival Chairman. The duties of the Committee consist first of all in signing “name” bands that will attract enough people to insure the financial success of the undertaking. This involves much dickering with booking concerns in order to find a popular band who will yet stay within the Carnival budget. Besides this important job, the Committee has a thousand and one little details to decide. For instance, Gino Conte is the mediator between Scotch and Soda and Student Council. Ginny Nutter is in charge of decorating the Gym, Rube Stark is responsible for letting out concessions, Tom Patterson is charged with giving Carnival adequate pub' licity, and Margaret Fauntleroy’s duty is to oversee the choice of gowns for the Queen's Court. Robert Riester is Business Manager. Carnival is not all evening gaiety, and day-time events such as the Soap Box Derby, Interfraternity Sweepstakes and the awarding of the Design Trophy; the Intersorority Roller Skating race; the mushball game between the faculty and the senior class; and, finally, Call Day exercises are all part of the work of the Committee. [168! 4 onotatiei OFFICERS President William Bean Vice-President Carl Haller Treasurer Clem Bauman Probably the most important and well-known of the National Engineering Honoraries is Tau Beta Pi. Although the requirements for membership are primarily those of high scholastic standards, this is not the sole criterion for the selection of its members. Genuine ability, which is not always indicated by high grades, is one of the requirements for membership, as is personality and character. Relying on the axiom that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, they also add “Experience in activi-ties to their list of requirements. By restricting their membership to men who possess all of these requirements, they believe that they have an organization which will embrace the best minds and the most successful men in engineering. The membership is also restricted to the upper fourth of the class of senior Engineers. It is, however, possible for three juniors to be accepted into Tau Beta Pi. The most important work it has done in the past year, as in the last five years, is that of tutoring the misguided Freshmen. In this work, Tau Beta Pi attempts to raise the factor of the Freshman class as a whole and to help the individual student to attain a satisfactory factor. Needless to say, this work has been crowned with considerable success. Also included among the aims of this ambitious group is the promotion of friendship and union between udents and the faculty. This year's President is William Bean. [170] Phi Kappa Phi is a national scholastic honorary composed at the present time of forty-seven chapters. It was organized as a local chapter at the University of Maine by the class of 1897- The Carnegie Tech Chapter was established in 1925, and is Tech's only honorary based entirely on scholarship and embracing members of all departments and schools. Phi Kappa Phi has its first call on Carnegie Day, calling to its ranks the upper twentieth of the graduating class from Engineering, Fine Arts, and Margaret Morrison in proportion to their respective enrollments. The second call is made at the Call Day exercises during Spring Carnival, when the second twentieth of the senior class is invited to membership. Thus the membership embraces the upper ten percent of the graduating class. Faculty members have also been called when their work has contributed unusually to raising scholarship students. The aim of Phi Kappa Phi is to raise the scholastic standards of all college students by setting before them this goal of membership. The organization performs other services, however, such as the public lectures they sponsor. Phi Kappa Phi's Annual Lecture was held this year on April 14, and presented Dr. Edward L. Thorndike of Columbia University speaking at Carnegie Lecture Hall. [ml OFFICERS Resent David Edwards Vice-Regent Clem Bauman Scribe Clarence Daniels The purpose of Theta Tau as a national engineering fraternity is to make not only the best engineers of the members, but what is more important, the best men. On the campus Theta Tau has set a standard of scholarship and outside activities for its members. Interest has been promoted in engineering by sending members to Regional and National Conventions, while creative ability and the quality of leadership have been stimulated by giving to the members responsibilities in the fraternity program. This year David Edwards acts as Regent, while Clem Bauman is Vice Regent. The office of Scribe has been filled by Clarence Daniel. Keith Cunningham has been carrying out the office of Corresponding Secretary. Of the special activities designed for the benefit of all the students, perhaps the most outstanding is the award given to the most promising Senior Engineer. This award is made to the student chosen by a faculty committee on the basis of fine personality, breadth of interests, and scholarship. Various talks are given for the members during the year, not on engineering alone but on universal interests. The Theta Tau talks are designed to increase the engineer's enjoyment of life by enabling him to appreciate such things as art and literature. However, such subjects as history and government are not excluded, and every Spring Dr. Jones discusses the educational program of the College of Engineering. [172] In an attempt to promote an interest in Mechanical OFFICERS Engineering at Carnegie, the Pi Tau Sigma honorary President fraternity inaugurates, each year, a program fashioned Robert Reister to accomplish this end. Its members are so zealous in their Vice-President interest in this course that they are anxious for others to Gordon Rehnborg also enjoy the privileges and opportunities which they now Treasurer share. Therefore they send a letter of encouragement to all Melvin Henderson freshmen who have professed a desire or a preference for taking Mechanical Engineering. As an added incentive for the more brilliant students to join their department, Pi Tau Sigma offers a Marks' Mechanical Engineering Handbook to the sophomore, who, in his freshman year, attained the highest rating of those freshmen electing to study Mechanical Engineering. In order to raise and keep up the levels of discussion in Seminar, this group awards a prize every eight weeks for the best paper presented in Seminar during that time. While the primary objects of the fraternity are for the promotion of the profession, it also conducts some social functions. On Exhibition Night they offer invaluable aid, and, as a fraternal farewell gesture, hold a Senior Banquet. Always anxious to cooperate with other organizations, they take an active part in organizing the annual Inter-Honorary Dance. Officers this year were: Robert Riester, President; Gordon Rehnborg, Vice President; Norman Wilson, Secretary; and Melvin Henderson, Treasurer. [173] OFFICERS President Don Armstrons Vice-President William Bean For closer cooperation and mutual benefit among its members, the Eta Kappa Nu Electrical Engineering Honorary Society was founded at the University of Illinois in 1904. This, the only electrical engineering honor ary society in the United States, chooses for its members those students who, by their attainments in college or in practice manifest exceptional ability in electrical engineering. The Carnegie society, which is the Sigma chapter, bases the selection of its members on activities, scholarship, and personality of the junior and senior members of the Electrical Engineering Department. At present, four faculty members, President Doherty, Dr. Work, Professor Dennison, and Professor Porter, with sixteen student members, compose the roll of the local chapter. Late in the Spring one other faculty member and two student members are to be initiated. Recently the local chapter has begun to take members from the night school Electrical Engineering Department. The activities of the fraternity are not all confined to technical matters. Meetings at which speakers are presented, or moving pictures shown, occur two or three times throughout the year. In March they held a party at Carnegie Union and a joint smoker with the A. I. E. E. They also helped sponsor the Inter-Honorary Spring Hop. The members act as a safety committee in the Electrical Engineering Depart-nenton Exhibition Night and help in arranging the displays. [174] To promote architecture, graphic and allied arts is the aim of Scarab, a leading honorary on the Tech campus. The national organization, named for an Egyptian good-luck symbol, has twelve chapters and two alumni organizations. The chapters are named after temples, and rituals are patterned after Egyptian forms. Throughout the Fall semester, the fraternity was headed by President James Morehead, Vice President Harold Whiting, Secretary Herb Heidt, Treasurer Howard Shelmire, and Sergeant-at-Arms Hugh Neilson. During the reign of these officers the Pre-Initiation Dance was held at the Chatterbox. Following this event, initiation was held at the Union. Members are chosen in February of their Sophomore year. Because of this custom of pledging at mid-term, new officers are also elected at this time. The officers elected this Spring are Herb Heidt, President; Lars Stenberg, Vice President; James Armstrong, Treasurer; Hugh Neilson, Secretary; and J. Whitley Cavitt, Sergeant-at-Arms. A Spring Dance, the Department Banquet, and yearly picnic are held in the Spring. Scarab's social events are only a part of their plans, for they also sponsor the Fine Arts Exhibition and award prizes of various classes for problems submitted. The National Exhibit includes entries from all chapters, and Scarab sends the local prize-winning problems to this exhibit. OFFICERS President Herb Heidt Vice-President Lars Stenberg Treasurer James Armstrong 075] OFFICERS Captain Edward Harvey 1st Lieutenant William Bean 2nd Lieutenant Robert Leech Made up entirely of men enrolled in the advanced course of the R.O.T.C., Scabbard and Blade is an honorary fraternity that serves as a driving force in the promotion of friendlier relations between the Cadet Officers and the rest of the corps. The Captain chosen for this year was Ed Harvey, and Bob Leech was made First Lieutenant. A call for members is made each year at the Founder's Day exercises in Carnegie Music Hall, and again at the Call Day ceremony during Spring Carnival. Pledges are chosen on the basis of character, military ability, and qualities of leadership; only men enrolled in the advanced courses of the R.O.T.C. may belong, although there are a few honorary members taken from among the officers of various branches of the United States Army. In addition to sponsoring awards for winners of various competitions among the cadets and supporting all other worthy group movements on the campus, the Scabbard and Blade presents the Military Ball on the eve of Armistice Day, which is not only the first formal dance of the year but also the outstanding social event of the semester. At this time the Honorary Cadet Officers are given their commis' sions and the pledges formally initiated. Meetings and smokers are held at intervals during the Winter. n n oLntj [176| Formed for the purpose of promoting the common interests of Carnegie publications and coordinating their varied ideas, the Carnegie chapter of Pi Delta Epsilon acts more like a service group than as an honorary. Its men naturally are selected from those who are among the most active members of the staffs of the Thistle, Tartan, Technical and Scottie, in recognition for fine work that they have done. However, once a member of Pi Delta Epsilon, a man does not automatically cease to work, but instead the job is just beginning. Pi Delta Epsilon looks toward better layout, composition and material in all of the publications. They attempt to effect a mild censor on material deemed unsuited for the press. But by far the most important task ahead of Pi Delta Epsilon is the promotion of interest in writing. This is accomplished by holding several essay contests every year, awarding prizes to the most skilled. Pi Delta Epsilon, in conjunction with Alpha Chi Alpha, publishes the Carnegie Bard, a small informal magazine containing student contributions entirely and aimed to arouse greater interest in the student body toward writing. Pi Delta Epsilon believes that a keen sense of the benefits to be derived from journalism is a feather in any man's cap. They follow up this idea in promoting writing as outlined above. There are conferences and convention every year, at which time the Tech men may exchange ideas with the .neighbor collegians OFFICERS President Bernard Lebovit Vice-President John Burke Treasurer John Stankey f 177} OFFICERS T7°r nineteen years the Dragon Society has been the President _£ most coveted organization of the Senior men. Members William Smith are recognizable by their black skull caps with the Treasurer dragon emblem. This senior honorary's purpose is to pro- Carl Haller mote, aid, and support all worthy activities and events on the Carnegie campus. Ability, integrity, application, and loyalty to the school, as well as activity, personality, and scholarship form the qualifications for membership. On Call Day during Spring Carnival these exceptional young men are formally bid. The services rendered by the Dragon Society are primarily of a social nature. It sponsors many dances during the year, the Greek Sing and Swing, the Welcome Freshman Dance, and the Penny a Pound Dance being among the most promi-nent. Showing their leadership, we find them members of Student Council, class officers, and staff members of the various publications. During Freshmen Week, they have charge of Freshman regulations. Since one of their members is the chairman of Spring Carnival, the Dragons play a large part in the presentation of this famous annual event. A successful year at Carnegie means that this society has performed its duties well and its members have met the requirements that make this the number one men's organization. n u n j {178} The greatest honor a woman in college can receive is to become a member of Mortar Baird. This national honorary sorority was founded in 1918, and has grown to include sixty chapters. The first convention included groups from Swarthmore College, Cornell University, Ohio State University, and the University of Michigan. At the convention this group of outstanding young women framed a constitution. They also decided on a pin, which was to be a small black mortar board. In 1923 the Mortar Baird Chapter at Carnegie Tech was founded. The purpose of Mortar Board is to provide for cooperation between societies, to promote college loyalty, and to advance the spirit of service and fellowship among university women. Mortar Baird also maintains a high standard of scholarship, and recognizes and encourages leadership. All that Mortar Board does, develops and stimulates a finer type of college women. Therefore, if a woman is to receive the honor of becoming a member of Mortar Board, she must have the ability of being of service to her school; she must have scholarship; and she must possess leadership qualifications. OFFICERS President Jeanne Anne Ritchie Vice-President Eleanor Bright Secretary Bibs Creelman New members are elected each Spring from undergraduate women who have completed their Junior year. To become a member each woman must have the unanimous vote of the chapter.

They boast that the Junior Prom, held February 10th at the Urban Roof in the William Penn Hotel, with music by the Airliners, was the first one for many years to achieve any financial success. Before the dance, the boys and their dates held a gala dinner at the Chatterbox in the William Penn Hotel. Not content with the successful Prom, Delta Skull sponsored a tea dance in time-honored Thistle Hall in the spring. They also gave a tea dance in Thistle Hall last fall. When the Campus Conference was held at Tech, the Delta Skulls sponsored Mrs. Grace Overton, author and teacher, who spoke so inspiringly on marriage, its problems and how to solve them. On Exhibition Day, these Junior men acted as guides to all visitors to the campus. Each year at Call Day, outstanding Sophomores are chosen to comprise Delta Skull for the following year. The choice of men is on the basis of scholarship and activities points. There are six automatic Delta Skulls chosen each year Junior Presidents in Engineering and Arts, two Junior Treasurers in Engineering and the Junior Treasurer in Arts, and the editor of the Thistle. Jack Culver is this year’s President, with Dave Liversidge as Vice President, Jack Reed as Secretary-Treasurer, and Don Havlish as Social Chairman. |180} Every Spring eighteen young men, excelling in scholar- ship and activities, emerge from the Freshman Class. Well equipped to live up to the standards set by leaders in any class, they take over the duties established by the Sophomore Men's Honorary, Scimitar. Having learned from experience that a Freshman is a pretty lonely soul, this group of second-year men begin without delay to surround the Plebes with a “Glad to have you. Better get acquainted atmosphere. Real proof of their ability to organize the boys was shown by this year's Freshman victory in the annual Fresh-Soph battle. The Freshmen were made even more welcome at the Freshman Reception, at which Scimitars served as hosts, and at an early tea dance sponsored by the Cwens and Scimitars jointly. A short period of inactivity caused by exams and loss of a few members was terminated with the Soph Hop. The boys proved of inestimable help to the Chairman of the dance, Eva Rasch. During the campus religious conference. Scimitars joined in sponsoring Mrs. Overton's talks on problems of marriage. Scimitars can be recognized by their white crew caps, black Scimitar emblem, and their eagerness to be of help. They are boys of real ability who, along with their brother honor-aries, maintain the prestige of the campus. Officers this year are Red Burch, President; Gail Platt, Secretary-Treasurer; and Robert Dawson, Social Chairman.

But the Cwens of this year have been conspicuous in activi' ties as well as in appearance. Their first job was to make the freshmen feel at home during Freshman Week, and, with the Scimitars, to aid at the Deans' Reception. They also sponsored the Twin Sister Movement for transfers. Their first social event of the year was the “CWENS Scimitar Tea Dance (remember those tickets?) To cele' brate Cwens' Founders' Day, there was a Bridge'Tea at the Union for the Alumnae. Together with the Scimitars, the Cwens helped to make the Soph Hop a success. The Pitt Chapter entertained the Tech Cwens at lunch before the memorable Pitt'Tech football game, and the Tech girls reciprocated by entertaining them at the Carnegie Union in the late Spring. The latter part of the year was almost entirely devoted to the acquisition of new members. A tea was held for the freshmen on April 1. A week after Call Day was the Feast, the most impressive of all Cwen ceremonies. Dean Green, Dr. Warden, Miss Leech, and Miss Win' Chester know only too well how busy the Cwens are, for not a day passes when some of them don't ask something of them. Cwen officers are Sally Williams, President; Marg' aret Townsend, Vice President; Jeanne Fox, Secretary; Betty Wunderlich, Treasurer; and Shirley Karper, Ritual Chairman. [182] Alpha Chi Alpha is the national journalistic honorary for women. New members are taken in each year at the Call Day exercises at the end of Spring Car' nival. Two years' service on a publication is the minimum requirement for membership. In order to become a member of Alpha Chi Alpha, a girl must have shown marked ability in journalism, as well as past meritorious work on campus publications. A short period of pledgeship is followed by an Initiation Banquet at the end of the second semester. Alpha Chi Alpha has had many activities this year, including a tea for Freshman women; a student forum on Sensationalism in the Press; editing Alert, the national publication; coorporation with Pi Delta Epsilon, the men's journalism honorary, in organizing The Bard, a campus literary magazine; participation in a national contest on news and feature articles; and collaboration with the other campus honoraries for the Inter-Honorary Spring Hop. Dinner meetings are held monthly, when discussions of future plans take place. The Women's Journalistic Honorary was founded at the University of Tennessee in 1919, and now has about thirteen chapters. The Carnegie chapter is one of the most active in the North. This organization has done much to raise the standards of our campus publications, and its members hold prominent positions on the staffs of the Tartan, the THISTLE, and the Scottie. OFFICERS President Erma Teitelbaum Vice-President Jean Frost Secretary Judyn West [183] OFFICERS President Marjorie Bandman Vice-President Eliza Critchlow Secretary Margaret McCredie The Kappa Chi Kappa is the honorary society for the Girl Scouts. Its purpose is the continuance of Girl Scout ideals through service to the school and the continuance of the Girl Scout associations in college. Some of the ways in which these ideals have been realized are through the secondhand bookstore, which is operated at the beginning of each semester, and the distribution of flowers to students in the infirmary. Kappa Chi Kappa also supported the Inter-Honorary Dance this spring. Each spring the members spend a week-end together out-of-doors, last spring at North Park. This organization is a comparatively new one, having been founded by eight girls in the spring of 1937- At present, plans are being made to expand the sorority to other colleges, so that eventually it will become national. New members are usually rushed, pledged, and initiated in the spring. This year, need for new members was such that the new members were taken in during the fall. A banquet was given after the initiation. In order to be considered eligible for Kappa Chi Kappa, a girl must have been a Girl Scout of at least Second-Class rank and must be a regular day student in Margaret Morrison or the College of Fine Arts. A certain scholastic average is also required. The officers this year are Marjorie Bandman, President; Liza Critchlow, Vice President; and Margaret McCredie, {1841 Although comparatively new, having been founded in the late twenties, Alpha Phi Omega is a moving force on many college campuses, and the Kappa chapter at Carnegie Tech is one of the most active of this fraternity’s chapters. With a policy of large enrollment and equal distribution of tasks, the average chapter of Alpha Phi Omega numbers upwards of thirty men, sometimes reaching as high as two hundred. Membership is limited to men who were members of the Boy Scouts of America, and in that way the group is able to enlist the services of those who are active in civic service. One of the undertakings of the society this year was the making of a map of the campus, showing all the school buildings, dorms, fraternity houses, and a little of the sup rounding territory. The border is made up of the crests of the various campus organizations. This map is being printed without cost by the Department of Printing and will be distributed to the students around Spring Carnival. Another service Alpha Phi Omega performs for the school is the Information Booth they conduct each year on Exhibition Day. President Sidney Hantman, Vice President Arthur Burleigh, Secretary Richard Ruthrauff, Treasurer John Fair, and Historian Tom Pratt have served the greater part of this year. Ted DeLay was elected in the remainder of the year. OFFICERS President Sidney Hantman Vice-President Arthur Burleigh Secretary Richard Ruthrauff { 185] OFFICERS President Merle Parrish Vice-President Ted Robbins Secretary Earl Borg Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia was founded at the New England Conservatory of Music, and now has more than sixty chapters in the country. This national music honorary for men does not restrict its membership entirely to students in the Music Department, but all students seriously interested in music are eligible for membership. The society now has twenty active members in its Tech chapter, representing all men's musical activities on campus. The Drum Major, the manager and assistant managers of the Kiltie Band, and a majority of the officers of the Men's Glee Club are members. Phi Mu Alpha held its Annual Concert on April 16 in the Exhibition Room of the College of Fine Arts. In addition to its musical presentations, the society also has sponsored open speakers’ meetings. Dr. Warden and Dr. Schoen have been among the speakers who have addressed meetings thus far. Officers this year have been Merle Parrish, President; E. Denman Kuhns, Vice President; David Lewis, Treasurer; Ted Robins, Supreme Councilman; Jack Purcell, Historian; E. MacDonald, Warden; and Earl Borg, Secretary. Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia has in years past sponsored con' tests for new school songs, one of which produced the well' known Skibo. Again feeling the need for some new songs, the society is planning to hold another contest, hoping [186} Sigma Alpha Iota is the oldest and largest women’s professional music fraternity in this country. It was founded in 1903 at Ann Arbor, Michigan, by seven women who decided to organize the serious music students, in order to elevate standards of musical education and musical performance, to signify the profession, and to give moral and material aid to its members. There are now sixty' seven active chapters and an evergrowing alumnae asso' ciation, all contributing to a large and influential national organization. The officers of the Carnegie chapter. Alpha Mu, are Alta Moses Orringer, President; Wilma Harris, Vice President; Dorothy Loesel, Corresponding Secretary; Eleanor Douglass, Recording Secretary; and Margaret Nock, Treasurer. The chapter presents a musical program monthly, one of which was a program of works by contemporary Pittsburgh com' posers. They give an Annual Concert in April and sponsor the musical portion of the Raster Chapel. A recital, tea, and reception are given for Freshman music students, and the members help them become acquainted with the other members of the department. OFFICERS President Alta Orrin9er Vice-President Wilma Harris Secretary Dorothy Loesel To be eligible for membership, a girl must be a student of music, working for a degree in music or actively engaged in her profession.

The ivy-covered house on the corner of Morewood and Forbes has long been the headquarters for one of the finest groups on campus. Such a victorious football season brought real glory to the fraternity, for many of Bill Kern's boys answer to ATO. The boys go even so far as to boast of an Official Football Car, which at one time was the proud purchase of Ray Carnelly and Beastie” Campbell, but is now used by half of C. I. T. The social calendar for ATO was unusually full this year. The very novel Christmas party given before the football boys left for the South was a huge success, as were the many football celebrations in the Fall. Alpha Tau Omega joined the rest of the campus in welcoming back the grads at Homecoming in October, and early in March the mothers were beautifully entertained at a tea. Stag parties, as is the usual custom, were tremendously popular the year through. President Sam Huey, Vice President Andy Thompson, Treasurer Bob Caffrey, and Secretary Bob Makepeace saw to it that the fraternity was well run and successfully organized. The boys carry on the reputation established by the original chapter seventy-five years ago. The lads from across the cut, Beta Sigma Rho, continued OFFICERS to occupy an enviable position on the Tech campus President again this past year. Rushing season under the new William Goldsmith system turned out to be one of the most successful that the Vice-President Beta Sigs have ever had. Fourteen lads donned the pledge Robert Chass button, and eleven of these boys came through for initiation. Treasurer Social season at the Beta Sig house can stand up to any on Robert Zein the campus. A tea for freshman women always finds the house well at hand, for who would pass up the chance to meet any number of lovely girls. A barn dance, a couple of sweater and skirt affairs, and the annual pledge dance lended to the atmosphere. Origionality plus with real chickens, straw, and scenery by the dramats characterized the affair. The Beta Sigs are always up in the cream or the crop when the scholarship cup is awarded, coming in strong for second place this year. They are well represented in intramural athletics on campus, having among their members the presi' dent of the intramural board. They entered the basketball, softball and bowling tournaments this year with fair success. Their most progressive move in the past year has been sponsoring talks to the boys by various members of the faculty. OFFICERS President William Heindl Vice-President James Bower Treasurer Jock Sutherland 1 0 J Sigma Alpha Epsilon is one of the strongest of the smaller fraternities at Carnegie Tech. While they have been dormant with regards to activities for the last few years, the S. A. E.'s are again making rapid strides for the better. Their policy is to enter all interfraternity con tests whether they have a chance of coming out on top or not—a fine plan for any house to follow. In the field of athletics, the S. A. E's are just about the peak. Their roster contains the names of many men who have been hailed as heroes of the gridiron and the basketball floor. The national fraternity is one of the strongest in the United States and it may well be proud of the Carnegie Tech chapter which exhibits a fine fraternity spirit. Following a successful rushing season and a reorganization of the chapter, the Sigma Alpha Epsilon of Carnegie is once again rising to the heights. The influx of new men into the chapter has created a new vigor in the social and political attitude of the S. A. E.'s and with fine spirit they are setting out to pull themselves out of the doldrums in which they have been for the last few years. If this spirit is maintained, the S. A. E.’s should once again find themselves near the top of the heap. [192} Phi Kappa, founded in 1889 as a national fraternity of OFFICERS Catholic men, instituted its Tech chapter in 1925. This President last year the Phi Kap's took on the aspect of nomads, Tom Gallasher living in several different houses. This difficulty was nicely Vice-President settled when they acquired a permanent abode on More' Edward McCarthy wood Place. Although hampered by their frequent moving, Secretary the Phi Kappa's have kept up their social prestige on the Clair Gladieux campus. Their Home'Coming Party was attended by many alumni and enjoyed by all. The Pledge Dance, featuring novel decorations, the Spring Formal, and many informal orchestra and radio dances complete the Phi Kappa social program. As always, Phi Kappa is active in extracurricular activities. Captain of the Track Team, President of the Chemistry Club, and several team managers are members of the fraternity. In athletics they are well represented with several brothers on the varsity football squad, two on the basket' ball squad, and several boys in minor sports. Officers this year are Anthony P. Sgambati, President; Vincent Morrissey, Vice President; Paul Haupt, Secretary; and Dale Gladieux, Treasurer. With the new house in their possession, the Phi Kappa’s hope to go even higher in the fraternity set-up during the coming year. {193} OFFICERS President Arthur Westerman Vice-President Rapheal Kazmann Treasurer Lawrence Greenhaus Tau Delta Phi has definitely risen to the point where they are seriously challenging their neighbors for su' premacy of the Jewish realm of the campus. The Tau Delts ran away with the scholarship cup the past year, lead' ing all contenders by a margin that was really wide. The social season of the boys from lower Forbes Street is not to be slighted, for their “back to school” dances and alumni smokers are well known. Rushing season this year for the Tau Delts was surprisingly successful, a good number of prominent freshman pledging. In activities the Tau Delts count among their men the managing editor of the Carnegie Tartan, circulation manager of the same publication, several boys on the staff of the Carnegie Technical, two members of Tau Beta Pi engh neer's Phi Beta Kappa, and others on the athletic teams. The Tau Delts gave their opponents a close fight in the intramural athletic league games this past year and show promise of hitting it on high next fall. The boys of Tau Delta Phi might well be called little “Karl Marks” for indeed they have done more than any other group in bringing to the students' eye the possibility of changes in the form of student government. They have among all of the peace and student organizations and u e to every open forum.

Their informal radio dances, held after football games and on off nights when the school program was silent for a week, did much toward giving the lads that spirit that is so essential to a good fraternity. The pledge formal, handled entirely by the pledge class, was carried off with quite a bang. The house was decorated in a novel way with spot light of Delta Upsilon's Blue and Gold The DU's came back from behind in the basketball race to defeat the Pi K. A.'s and then the Architects and win the trophy. They eclipsed all rivals by walking away with the swimming cup and show promise of heading through for another trophy before the year is ended. In activities the Delta Upsilon boys are well represented, holding the office of Editor of the Scottie until mid-year, Student Council lists two DU's and the class officers' roll contains the names of several more. They are prominent in class honoraries, scholastics and service groups, and figure -T 0 r in flenera campus merriment.

Pressly Shafer Vice-President Charles Flynn Treasurer George Stewart The boys from the “favorite shelter on Forbes Street have a reputation for parties that seems to out'do any of the other fraternities on the campus. Three dances held for the Beetles, Gammas and Kappas went over with the usual Delt success. It gave the fraternity boys and their pledges a chance to meet the sorority lassies. House dances patterned after the now common sweater and skirt idea kept the lads on their toes. Rushing season for the Delta was like a Chesterfield, it satisfied. Eighteen boys from the cream of the crop donned the Delta Square. A dance at Longue Vue Country Club on the opening night of the free for all gave the Delts a head start on the rest of the pack. Roller skating at National and the usual run of afternoon gab sessions completed the social program for the rushing week. The Delts will be remembered as the coy lads who so secretly stole over the concrete walls of the Pitt stadium in the dead of night, before the Pitt game, and left their mark in a ten yard high “Beat Pitt” in white lime. Delts count among their actives the President of the Student Council and several of its members, three men on the football team, editor and staff of the TrLPublications, any number of ders, and a pair of boys on the tennis team.

William Hajjar Treasurer Oliver D. Williams Aptly nick-named “the Boys from the Hill, because of the location of their house, the members of the Gamma Iota Chapter of Beta Theta Pi have consistently maintained a position of high rank and prestige since their house was first established at Carnegie in the Spring of 1920. As cosmopolitan a group of boys as may be found anywhere, the chapter roll includes engineers, architects, and dramats alike. The social season at the Beta house opened in October with the annual Hick Party in conjunction with Alumni Homecoming. Following this were the Pledge Dance, the Christmas Party, the Spring Formal at Longvue Country Club, and finally'Open House during Spring Carnival Week. It is noteworthy that for the third time in four years the Beta singing team carried away the cup at the annual Greek Sing and Swing. Always well represented socially, politically and athletically, the Betas have enjoyed more than their share of glory this year, having been engaged in all fields of sport and all branches of politics. Betas are also prominent on the staffs of all of the Carnegie publications.

OFFICERS President David Morrison Vice-President Alexander Wilson Treasurer Virgil Hume Kappa Sigma's Delta Alpha Chapter has been called “the ideal engineer's fraternity, and this characters zation is extremely apt. The Clyde Street boys are predominant slip stick artists, with just enough art students included to cause good natured dissention. Despite this predominance, versatility is a common characteristic of this organization for the boys have become experts in everything from pushmobiles to politics. Not withstanding their db versity of outside interests, they have a flair for the social graces too, as anyone who has been to the Kid Party or Spring Formal can testify. Politics also rank as a popular pastime and Student Council counts several Kappa Sigs as prominent members. The editor of the Carnegie Technical, the chairman of Spring Carnival, class officers, and many others have helped to keep the house in the public eye. Since athletics play an important part in the Kappa Sig makeup, it is not surprising to find that the basketball captain and several members of the squad, a half dozen grid men, the hockey captain, track stars, and quite a number of minor sportsmen calling Delta Alpha their home. They are just one more element in a well balanced system that makes Kappa Sigma one of the chosen few on the Tech campus. [ 202! Hey-boy . . . Rube . . .

OFFICERS President Ralph Ives Vice-President William Statler Treasurer James Wolff Pi Kappa Alpha began its season this year under the following officers: Ralph Ives, President; Bill Statler, Vice President; Jim Wolff, Treasurer; Don Havlish, Secretary. The big house on Morewood Place has been the setting for much activity, beginning even before classes with the entertainments for rushees. Along in the Fall came Home-Coming, with swarms of loyal alumni crowding the halls. Christmas vacation was ushered in with a party, with an honest-to-goodness Santa Claus, a Christmas Tree, and presents for everyone. January brought the Pledge Dance, and on March 4 the fraternity celebrated Founders' Day with a banquet at Webster Hall, at which they were ad-dressed by the National Secretary of the fraternity. The Spring Formal and Spring Picnic came in April. Bright spots of the year for some lucky girls were the Tea Dances the Pi K A's gave for sororities, for the boys provided a bountiful supper as well as a good time. The bright, shiny Intra-Mural Football Trophy graces the Pi Kappa Alpha living-room, evidence of the fraternity's active participation in athletics. In addition, they claim as members the Editor of the Tartan, the Business, Circulation, and Advertising Managers of the Scottie, and several members of Student Council. { 204 : The buggy . . .

OFFICERS President James Duncan Vice-President Ballard Quass Treasurer Wayne Bcglin Theta Xi, first national fraternity to establish a chapter on the Carnegie Tech campus, this year celebrates the one-hundredth anniversary of its national founding. But the years have certainly not dimmed the old Theta Xi enthusiasm in campus affairs. The house is represented well in nearly every extra-curricular activity, including sport, publications, honoraries, and student government. Twelve new men were taken into the fold this year to carry on the spirit and tradition upon which the fraternity is founded. They have already grasped the T. X. way of thinking and are entered enthusiastically into campus activities. Chronologically first on the large list of social functions is the Bowery night, with usual crowd of paper-money gamblers, cider, apples and donuts. An exchange of presents at Christmas time, some of them weird and unusual, added life to the pre-vacation party. After the Junior Prom and the Interfraternity Formal, the Theta Xi’s like many other fraternity men, gathered at their house for a snack and a bit of chatter. The Spring Formal found the lads trucking it out to the Saint Clair Country Club in the South Hills. Numerous small radio dances, informal parties, alumni smokers and dinners rounded out a well-planned social season. [206] Push it down hill . . .

Its adviser is Miss Leonora Donohue, who is secretary of the Drama Department. This year's officers are Marjorie Tinker, Dottie Hutchings, Eleanor Douglass, and Mary Lewis. Among their many activities are included a Rushing Tea and Rushing Formal in the Fall, a Winter Formal which this year was held at the Chatterbox, a Spring Formal at Longue Vue Country Club, and an Initiation Tea held at the fashionable College Club. This summer the girls will follow an old custom and spend several weeks or so at their cottage at Van Buren Point on Lake Erie. The Alpha Kap’s are justly proud of the scholastic record and activities of their sisters. Six out of twelve years of competition have won them the Inter'Sorority Scholarship Cup—a notable achievement. Among their members are five active Cwens, two members of Mortar Board, the Vice President of Intersorority Council, two members of Kappa Chi Kappa and two of Sigma Alpha Iota, a Junior House President, and the Editor of the Scottie. It is significant that former Alpha Kap's meet regularly and join in the activities at the Initiation Tea. {210} Oh, I ivish that I could date her All the boys emit a sigh. And the reason is quite apparent For she is a Beta Pi! Art school may well be proud of these little girls, whose beauty even surpasses their talent. There's fun a'poppin' whenever they get their heads to gether, and they can be seen cutting capers any day in the Beanery. They keep one table reserved for their actives, and never have they been mistaken for other than Beta Pi’s. There is that “smoothie touch. Founded in 1922, the girls have established an excellent record on campus. Tops in the Greek Sing and Swing for years, their personality as well as good arrangements has put them across. But then Beta Pi's have never failed to keep up their end of activities. Well represented in Mortar Board and Cwens, their services have proved invaluable to the entire campus. The twenty members picked eleven pledges from the Fresh' man class. The girls were made members about three months later. They were disappointed when both initiation dance and dinner were postponed because of the flu epi' demic. They enjoyed it later, however. All in all the girls are a credit to the school. They were led this year by Irene O'Brien, President, and Bernie Erb, Vice President. OFFICERS President Irene O’Brien Vice-President Bernadine Erb Secretary Ruth Schwartr [211] OFFICERS President Dorothy Winner Vice-President Marjorie Mills Secretary Vera Doherty The Beta Tau Lambda sorority is a social organization that was founded in 1920. The society was established by a group of six members who adopted a constitution under the name of the “Beetles.” The original name of the sorority was changed in May, 1930, to Beta Tau Lambda. Beta Tau Lambda Sorority had their annual initiation at Dottie Winners' farm this year, where the members and the pledges can really vouch for the “roughing it” that was done that day. The initiation dance was held at the Pitts-burgh Athletic Club, and both old and new members had a grand time. The Spring Formal was given at Longvue Country Club this year, which turned out to be an ideal setting for an ideal dance. The Pledges entertained informally at a victrola dance in the new Carnegie Union right after Christmas. This party was presided over by Santa Claus, Dottie Winner, and numerous gifts were distributed to members and pledges. Dottie Winner, distinguished as the sole graduating member of the Sculpture Department, has held the office of President this year. Marge Mills, of Cwens and Mortar Board, is Vice President. Vera Doherty served as Secretary, and Ellen Ross as Treasurer. {212} The Gamma Gamma Gamma Sorority was organized in June, 1923, with the ideals of encouraging its girls in all their undertakings, promoting friendships, deveh oping character, and supporting and promoting activities and movements for the betterment of the school ideals which it has fulfilled admirably. The sorority is well represented in intersorority and campus activities. They are proud of the fact that they have held the Intersorority Scholarship Cup for the last two years. It was this sorority that, twelve years ago, originated the idea of such competition, and donated the trophy cup. Rushing Season opened with a formal tea at the home of Clara Lou McLane, and the Rushing Formal was held at the Twentieth Century Club. A supper at the home of Novaes de Markus closed the rushing season, which was very successful and enjoyable. During the Christmas holidays a pledge dance was held at the William Penn Hotel, when the pledges received their pledge pins. The last social functions of the year will be the Formal Initiation and the Installation Dance in the Spring. This year’s erite Steck, Nell OFFICERS President Marguerite Steck Vice-President Irene Von Horvath Secretary Nell Scholl [213] OFFICERS President Betty Stevens Vice-President Mary Cogswell Secretary Ann Andraso Alpha Theta Sigma is as active a sorority as can he found on the Carnegie campus. Every month they have held a party of a different type. In November it was a hay'ride. An amusing feature of their rushing season was the autographs of big, burly football players on fragile egg shells. After a long pledge period, on December 16, they had their Formal Initiation, followed by a dance. In January they held a rather unique party—a “June in January” dance, and in February they celebrated Valeiv tine's Day with a Sweetheart Dance. All dressed up like a crowd of kindergarteners on the loose, they held a baby party in March. Their Spring Formal was held late in April at Longue Vue Country Club. A point on which the Alpha's deserve to be commended is that they were the first Margaret Morrison sorority to redecorate their bulletin board in very snazzy gold paper and purple letters. When an Alpha has a birthday, her sorority sisters put a huge sign on the bulletin board, saying “Happy Birthday. This year Alpha Theta Sigma has been under the guidance of the following officers: Betty Stevens, President; Dorothy _Krut, Treasurer; Anne Andraso, Secretary; and Mary CcgsvAell, ifu h u [214 3 Gamma Phi Sigma Sorority was founded for the pur' pose of furthering friendship, developing character, and promoting social activities. Those social activities proved to be very successful this past year. They included a Christmas party, various evening get-togethers, and a Bridge Luncheon between semesters. After the rushees had been pledged, the members invited them to a weiner roast in Panther Hollow, which included a bit of hazing. The Gamma's did their part in running after the men when they held a Sadie Hawkins party. At this dance the girls did everything from sending the boys vegetable corsages to driving their own cars. Recently, the girls gave a kitchen shower for their engaged sisters to aid them in setting up housekeeping. The Gamma's have a very interesting custom in which each girl has a peanut sister. These sisters send each other such things as valentines, Christmas gifts, and birthday gifts, while keeping their names a secret. This year's officers helped the sorority to live up to its original ideals. Barbara Donley occupies the office of President. Mary Alyce Cochran is well qualified for her position as Vice President.

This year, under the leader' ship of Margaret Myers, Jeanne Anne Ritchie, Alma Bar' tels, and Gerry Weightman, they have come closer than ever to realising their ideals of companionship. Eleanor Ries, Social Chairman, has been mainly responsible for the success of the Kappa social program. Rushing season was a strenuous period which was culminated successfully with the pledging of nineteen of the cream of the Sopho' more crop. The pledges were welcomed at a spaghetti supper held at Yvette Dorrance's. The evening’s fun in' eluded the amazing stunts of a magician, who also hyp' notized anyone brave enough to volunteer. Formal Initia' tion was held in the beautiful Twentieth Century Club. Before Christmas, Marian Artman played hostess to a bridge party, and in January the Kappa's held a Barn Party in North Park which was marked by its record attendance. This year's Spring Formal was a dinner dance held at the Pines on March 31. A picnic is planned for the late Spring. In May the Sophomore members entertained their elders at a supper at “Mamma” and Pappa” Parisi's, the Kappa’s fond and loving sponsors.
