For the first time since his coming to Carnegie, Dr. Doherty, in an all school assembly, gave an explanation of the financial policies of the school and the necessity for raising the tuition. Because of his lucid description, the students were made to appreciate the financial straits of the school and to be willing to help to alleviate the condmon.

The dictionary defines a hook as a collection of sheets of paper (blank, written, or printed) hound together in a volume and enclosed in a cover. May the sheets of paper which you are bringing together per' petuate the events of this college year. It is interesting to think of this hook as one of tomorrow's memories. Someone has said My greatest pleasure in life is pleas' ant thoughts. May the events recorded in this book bring to those of you on the campus this year such pleasant thoughts. -Mary Watson Green Dean of Women A Book of Memories! Seniors of 1940, may you as the years go by often open the pages of your Thistle and let it bring you joy and contentment as it recalls the happy associations and friendships formed on the Carnegie campus. Only then, will this book have served its true purpose. —B. E. Warden [ 19} OFFICERS OF ADMINISTRATION Robert E Doherty. President Webster N.

Student Council is the supreme governing body of the students. It directs student activities, promotes a closer harmony between the student body and the administration, and fosters friendly relations with other schools. It is composed of twenty voting members elected from the two upper classes of the three colleges, and nine non-voting members. Ten of the voting members are chosen from the College of Engineering, five from the College of Fine Arts, and five from Margaret Morrison College. Under the able leadership of Charles Trapp, President, Eleanor Carlock, Council's first woman Vice-President, Robert Stark as Treasurer, and Mary Tuttle, Secretary, the council experienced a very successful year. Its social program was high-lighted with such affairs as the Welcome Freshman dance, the All Carnegie dance and the Greek Sing and Swing, and was climaxed with the highly heralded Spring Carnival. This year's Council was especially fortunate in obtaining well-known orchestras, among whom were Glenn Miller and A1 Donahue. Rouin V. Davb. Executne Secretary [22] A very commendable step forward was taken when a joint meeting was held with the Pitt Student Council. It was decided that the goal posts which were captured by Tech following its football victory over Pitt last year should be awarded annually to the victorious team, and that the presentation should be made a traditional affair. Council suddenly broke into the news when it made the startling announcement that it was operating on a deficit and that an investigation into the various organic tions receiving financial aid would have to be conducted. This situation was espe' dally serious since the great majority of student organizations sponsored by the school receive their funds from the council. The difficulty, however, was remedied by adjust' ing the Council's budget in accordance with the findings of the investigation. Although Student Council has its short' comings, there can be no doubt that it is the balance wheel between faculty, student, and the outside world. This group main-tains a close harmony and congeniality on the campus, and without it student government would cease to exist. The past year has been considered very satisfactory by students and faculty alike. Dorikiiuir, Jacomos. Fioyd. Auuir, WitUAUi. McOiuixir.il Cakioci, Jonm, Trait, Karma, M.Caivii WiiuAMft.

Robert Austin DeWitt Howell Charles Kalish In an effort to promote cooperation, mutual friendship, and understanding among them' selves, and in an effort to raise their already' high status at Carnegie, the twelve Greek fraternities handed together and formed the Interfraternity Council. This council is composed of one representative from each fraternity and is under the able leadership of Dr. John H. Neelley. The council has grown rapidly in im' portance and now occupies a prominent posi' tion on the campus. By promoting athletic contests and awarding competitive trophies, the council has been able to foster a keen, though friendly, spirit of rivalry among the fraternities. Each year it awards a cup to the fraternity which has the highest scholar' ship rating. It also presents a cup to the house which maintains the neatest appear' ing house and grounds throughout the year and � plaque to the fraternity which has the most original and appropriate display for homecoming. The social program includes the Inter' fraternity informal and the gala Interffa' ternity Formal, which ranks second only to the Spring Carnival. This year the Formal was held at the Hotel Schenley to the smooth melodies of Harry James and his orchestra. Top Minton. Turrxr. Winer. Aurnn. Neelley. Read. PimMe. KaliA. eton Walker.

The season is begun early in the fall, when Council sponsors a NoivRushing Tea which officially introduces rushing sea' son. Rushing season presents many prob' lems to be met, and Intersorority Council is responsible for the fair settling of them. In January the Intersorority Formal was held at the William Penn. Valuable door' prizes were given to the escorts of the two girls holding the lucky numbers. Inter' sorority Council urged all sororities to join in making the Guild Dance a success. Each group had a booth at which money was raised for charitable purposes. All the sororities participate in the Greek Sing and Swing and the winner is awarded a cup. This year the Intersorority Counc ’ has undertaken an entirely new project. Funds have been raised to give a scholarship to a deserving sorority girl. Every year the main endeavor of Intersorority Council is to bring the sororities of Margaret Morrison and Arts School into closer harmony with one another.

[25J MEN’S DORM COUNCIL In order to promote harmony between the dormb tory residents, to improve their living conditions, and to unite them and arouse an interest in extra' curricular activities and scholarship, the Dormitory Council was formed. The council, composed of one member from each dormitory, has accomplished much toward the fulfillment of its purpose. Its main function is to see that the living con' ditions in the dorms are kept up to the highest standards. In performing this duty, the council has this year cooperated with President Doherty in a drive to abolish or at least to modify senior ducking. The ducking itself, especially if carried on outdoors, is not objectionable, but damage almost invariably results when the ducking is carried on in the dormi' tories and is not restricted. Largely because of the influence of the Council, freshman hazing has been done away with. The Council has also been very successful in arousing an active interest in the intra' mural competitions, and in social functions. During the past year the dorms have participated in intra' mural football, basketball, and table tennis, and also have an entry in the Greek Sing and Swing. This year for the first time the Dormitory Council relegated its social function to the Claymore Clan. The Clan, an honorary organization composed of outstanding dorm residents, is an organization pri' marily interested in promoting the cultural and social life, and the general welfare of dormitory students. The Clan, under the supervision of the Dorm Council, sponsors smokers, movies, dorm jam sessions; and, in conjunction with the Women's Dormitory Council, the annual Dormitory Council Dance.

At a meeting held early in the fall at the Old Carnegie Union, freshman women were for' mally introduced to Dorm Council and given a chance to get acquainted. The custom of holding Open House, which had not been practiced for two years, was revived again; on November 19, fraternity and dormitory men were invited to teas held at the various dorms. Together with other campus organizations, Council helped to make the Guild Dance a success. They deserve to be commended for the attractive fish'pond booth they contributed to the Guild Bazaar. This year, the Dorms are to be included in the newly-named Carnegie Sing and Swing. They also assisted the Men’s Dorm Council in adding color and variety to the ever popular “jam sessions.” Aided by Student Council, President Nancy Borie attended the Women's Inter collegiate Association for Student Govern' rnent held at Hood College. She repre-sented both Student Council and Dorm Council. In the spring, Council holds a mass meet' ing in which suggestions for improving the dorm government are proposed and dis' cussed. Officers are elected the second week in May; the president and the vice-president are chosen from the incoming junior or senior class, and the secretary-treasurer is chosen from the incoming sophomore or junior class.

An educational program which embraces none but technical subjects is, however, made-quate for the needs of present day engineers. In the past decade the engineering profession has come to realize more and more that in addition to technical learning, an appreciation and knowledge of the social, economic, and cultural phases of the profession is a necessary part of the engineering curricula. The College of Engineering early realized the necessity of combining this cultural aspect with the technical phase, and adjusted its program in such a manner as to integrate the two into a well-rounded, basic course. The objectives of the course are to train students to think logically and constructively, to acquaint them with sufficient factual material to solve new engineering problems, to give them an appreciation and working knowledge of some of the liberal arts, and to make them aware of the social and economic consequences of their profession. To facilitate the carrying out of these objectives, the curriculum was divided into two parts the scientific-technological and the social-humanistic. The scientific-technological courses represent approximately four-fifths of the total number offered in the Engineering College, and the social-humanistic comprise the remaining fifth. Kidney.

Pen tv!, Kin Materials Testing Physics DEPARTMENT OF PRINTING Tech is fortunate in having a printing department unexcelled by any other school in the world. Because of the thoroughness of the training given in the printing depart' ment, Tech is the only school in the nation warranted to give a Bachelor of Science degree «.o graduates in this department. This degree qualifies its holder to a position in the printing industry which formerly required years of apprenticeship. Because of the importance of printing in modern life, the leaders in this industry are persons who must assume more than the ordinary cub tural and social responsibilities in their com' munities. The program of instruction in printing, therefore, is planned to lay a broad foundation for commercial and social leader' ship in later life. Printing and allied industries have prc' sented to the printing department approx' imately $100,000 worth of equipment. This was given to show their appreciation for the valuable work the department is doing for the graphic arts industries. Instruction in photolithography is now possible with the recent installation of an excellent photo' lithographic camera and its accessory equip' ment. Since the maintenance of this vast amount of machinery requires thorough knowledge of its operation, the students are also given fundamental me' chanical training in conjunc' tion with the Department of Engineering. Professional emphasis rather than the vocational development of skill is the underlying purpose of the in' struction of students in the department of printing. Feeding the Jobber [36 3 Gun U.

It is the job of the Manage' ment Engineer to eliminate this waste by the organization of men and machines into an economical and efficient productive unit. The preparation of men capable of carry-ing out this work is the difficult task facing the Department of Management Engineer ing. In performing this function, the department tries to give the student as broad a training in engineering as possible. He is familiarized with all of the branches of engineering so that he may readily adapt himself to the work in any field. In addition to his technical training he is given courses in the principles of organization and management training. In this manner, the student is fitted for technical, industrial or commercial positions. A distinctive feature of the Department is the weekly field trips taken in the junior year. In the senior year the students are given a certain amount of work in the various plants in the Pittsburgh district so that they may become intimately acquainted with actual conditions. In conjunction with these trips, prominent men are invited each week to address the students.

I 41} DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Waiuum L. McCam. HfjJ Dtp rtmfltf of Chemical En$inttnn$ Scarcely known thirty years ago, Chemi-cal Engineering has in the last three decades grown with such rapidity that it now ranks as one of the most important divisions of engineering. It has invaded almost every industrial processing field and has been found to be a necessity in industries which were formerly thought to be entirely beyond its scope. Chemical Engineering is the branch of engineering that is concerned with the de' sign, development, and operation of certain physical changes and which is usually resolved into a coordinated series of unit physical operations and unit chemical pro-cesses. The chemical engineer will usually work at improving old products and pro-cesses, developing new products and pro-cesses, operating existing processes, designing processes and equipment, or in technical sides of the products of the process industries. Since a chemical engineer may be called upon to work on any of a wide range of problems, it is necessary for him to have a broad, well-grounded training in basic sciences and their application to industrial problems. The Department of Chemical Engineering adequately provides this requirement by giving its students thorough training in mathematics, physics, chemistry, economics, and English during their first three years, followed by professional work in Chemical Engineering during their third and fourth year. This is accomplished by means of such courses as Chemical Technology, Thermodynamics, Unit Operations, and Introductory Research, supplemented by Electrical and Metallurgical Engineering. The undergraduate training may be extended by graduate work leading to the Master's or Doctor's degree. [42] Meter Readers Robert F. Bildsteix, Pittsburgh; Pi Kappa Alpha. William H.

These courses pre-pare the students for a very broad field of work. With the fundamental education such courses offer, graduates are equipped for research work, teaching, or training for a specialized engineering career. The Phy-sics department this year is working exten-sively on infra-red experiments. Many of the recent graduates from this department have entered research laboratories. Members of the Chemistry department are helping, with their new processes and products, the rapid development of our mode of living. The Mathematics department holds a very important position at Carnegie Tech, since it furnishes the students of the other departments their mathematical training. Graduates from this department have become statisticians and teachers. With the great demands now being made upon the pure scientists by industry, physicists and chemists are becoming more and more important. The science departments of Carnegie Tech, by keeping up with the times and offering courses in many new subjects, are increasing yearly in size and scope.

If one were to approach the general head of the electrical engineering department, as the Thistle did, requesting information upon the relative merits of this branch of the institution, he would undoubtedly receive the non-committal reply, “We're no better than the other departments of the school; they're all very good.'' Nevertheless, we can say that Dr. Work and his assistants are doing a fine job of training men to carry on one of the most important industries of the present power age—that of electrical power supply. It would be hard to say what our world would be like if we were deprived of electricity as we know it today. Certainly our industries and homes couldn't be complete without this convenient source of usable energy, for we have no suitable substitute for it. Neither would we be able to make use of the most convenient forms of long distance communication known to man, the radio and telephone. An electrical engineer's training here at Carnegie includes all that is needed in the education of a competent electrical engineer. [50] A1 the Switchman ENGINEERING In the earlier years, basic subjects such as mathematics, chemistry, physics, and applied mechanics comprise the greater part of the work. Later, theories of electricity and magnetism and the application of these theories to engineering practice are covered so as to prepare the student for his entrance into industry. Special emphasis is placed upon developing the student's ability to apply theory to practical problems. Although there have been no drastic changes in the course in the past few years, it is interesting to note that this year, for the first time, graduate work in electrical engineering was established on a firm basis by a grant from the Buhl Foundation. This fund provided two fellowships for qualified students to work for their master's degree. Next year there will be four Buhl fellowships. As in previous years, the electricals again did their part in the furthering of the Spring Exhibition by demonstrating motors, generators, and other electrical equipment. The Tesla coil with its thirty foot flashes of artificial lightning was the high spot of the exhibition. The importance of this department to society can be shown by last year's placements. Of the thirty-three men graduated twenty-eight now have jobs, and two of them continue their education. Surely any department can be proud of such a record.

[53J DEPARTMENT OF METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING One of the most important fields of en' deavor in the world of today is that of metallurgy. The study of metals, their extraction from ores, and their various uses constitutes one of the basic industries of the modern civilized world. There is hardly an industry which is not dependent in some way upon the production of certain types of metals. As science has advanced, so the needs of the different branches have in' creased. Today, we need more than just a metal for a certain job; we need metal of definite composition, of a definite hardness, or sometimes of a definite color. The only way in which these requirements can be fub filled is by the building up of the metallurgy industry. The undergraduate department of metal lurgy here at Carnegie was completely reorganized in 1935 under the able direction of the present department head, Dr. Mehl. Bin Btoconct Ctmicii Cokin Fhu 0 081 Hici Jo«K! At that time many new ideas were put into effect: such as the requirement of a senior thesis; the organization of lectures given by metallurgists from outside the school; and a course of seminars for seniors. With these additions to the Metals Research Labora' tory, our metallurgy department now offers one of the most complete courses in the country. Such a course attracted more students, until now the department has tripled not only its size but also its reputa tion. This fact is shown by the one hundred percent placement of last year's graduates. Seventeen of the twenty'three men went into the steel industry. The others went into such fields as machine manufacturing, teaching, and nonfferrous work. A depart' ment as young and as progressive as this one is bound to produce men that can take their place in this fast moving industrial world. Bert R.

The suggested “Moses' Plan has been a triumph of Civil Engineering, for it has shown that C. E., far from being a thing of the past, is very much up-to-date. The Pennsylvania Turnpike is another outstand-ing example of its increasing importance. The Tech Civils get first-hand information on these projects, as well as others. In conjunction with the U. S. Government, the students have made models of the Tygart River Dam and other flood prevention projects in the Hydraulics Lib. Many of the students are specializing in Sanitary Engineering, and others are taking architectural courses. It is small wonder that employers turn to Tech graduates as a natural choice when seeking a man capable of doing their job and doing it well. 158} Civil Engineering Lab. C.

Department of M dkl« C.il Engineering DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING The Mechanical Engineering department of Carnegie Tech, the largest of all the departments, covers a broad field of work. In this department there are three options: General Mechanical, Aeronautical, and Plumbing, Heating, and Ventilating. Gen eral Mechanical Engineering probably offers the broadest scope of subjects. A student is equipped, with the education this course offers, not only for immediate occupation in industry, but also for further training in almost any other branch of engineering. The students taking the Aeronautical option specialize in courses dealing with airplane design, motors, and flight. Heating, Plumbing, and Ventilating students live up to their name by taking courses in sanitary engineering, air conditioning, and refrigeration. The Mechanical Engineering department, well-equipped for research work, has a wind tunnel, water tanks, and heat laboratories, which are used extensively by all members of the department.

It is a question whether or not Mrs. Andrew Carnegie had any premonition of how the college would grow when she first suggested building a School of Fine Arts, but it is a fact that now each year so many students are eager to register that competitive examinations must be given to determine which students will be accepted. Even after they have entered, those who do not show sufficient talent in their work are not allowed to remain. To those who read of the general spirit of gaiety which prevails in the Fine Arts Building, the work of the students seems to be mostly fun. Actually much patient thought must be put behind their work. Long hours are spent after school in order that the work may be done well. Music, Drama, Architecture, Painting, Design, and Sculpture each of these fields has a depart' ment which is capably directed. The aim of each department is to add to the culture and enjoyment of the public which is just beginning to really appreciate artistic achieve' ment. Architect Mill. V.' stem.

'W llot V 67 DEPARTMENTS OF PAINTING DESIGN AND SCULPTURE Carve dat Stone Many old spirituals tell us of waiting for the Judgment Day, hut the P D's, for that is what students of the Department of Painting and Design are called at Tech, could sing us a song of their own “Judgment day. These students always know when their work is to be handed in and judged, since a list of their deadlines or judgment days is posted in the department. On judgment morning, weird tales circulate through the halls of the Fine Arts building as each student tells the others how late he has worked the night before. All one has to do in order to see some of the work which has been handed in for judgment during the year is walk down the corridor of the Fine Arts building where some of it is on display. This past year the depart' ment was put under the direction of a new head, Mr. Wilford Readio. During the first semester, there was a competition offered for upperclassmen in industrial design, and generous prizes were awarded for the de-signs which were accepted. Besides design ing several stage sets for the Scotch and Soda, the sophomores also competed for a prize which was awarded in pictorial structure. The Sculpture department has also had several projects which were judged by outside juries and which offered awards for the best work. Although the Sculpture Department itself is very small, competition for the garden award and in designing a niche was very keen. The freshmen as usual worked on skeletons, and the upperclassmen were kept busy with life classes. One of the things that make this department especially interesting is the fact that a student may choose any material he wishes to work with. Both departments have tried to uphold their traditional standards and create the atmosphere which a student must work in after he graduates.

During the year the drama students produced eight plays, which were presented for week stands in the Little Theater. Both student body and the outside public were invited. Such plays as “Corialanus,” “Family Pop trait,” “Daughters of Atreaus,” “Excursion,” “Lower Depths,” and “Stage Door” were presented. One production, which was entirely the work of the students and faculty, was a farce written by Edward Hunt, a junior in the department. The stage sets were made by the student crews, and the characters were portrayed by the personnel of the department. This year, as in years before, the drama students have taken part in the casts of the Pittsburgh Playhouse. The production which the students participated in this year was a musical which offered great opportunities to those interested. The dramats also play a very large part in the Scotch and Soda Club's presentation during the Spring Carnival. Hard working as they are, the dramats relieve the tension of their “paint crews,” set construction gangs, and costume designers by a bang-up party after each production. This promotes the spirit of fellow ship that is evident among the dramats. No group on campus is tied so closely by the bonds of mutual interest, friendship, and talent. Sherman G. Beck, New York, N.

Great stress is being laid on practical shop work the students work in masonry and construction shops. The practical work being done this year is very interesting and very beneficial to the architects. Early last semester, one of the problems assigned to the Sophomore class was the design of a house. The designs sub' mitted were compared and judged, and the best plans were used for the construction. This structure was built by the Sophomore class and completed for the Annual ExhibT tion in April. The Junior Interior Decorat' ing class did the decorating. Another equally interesting project is that of the Junior class. The foundations of a building to be known as the Campus House are being laid on the Forbes'Street'end of the Cut, near one of the girl's dormitories. The design is modern, the construction poured concrete. The structure will be a permanent one, built to accommodate a professor and his wife, and two children. A familiar sight on the campus is that of bright lights shining in the upper stories of the Fine Arts Building well on into the night. At these times, the weary architects are on charette, the last minute rush at the end of a problem. Charette used to last until two A. M., but no more. Now there are no lights after eleven. But, late charette or not, the architects this year have distinguished themselves and honored Tech by receiving several Beaux Arts prizes. These successes are the natural result of Tech superiority of design. W. F. Hitchens, Department Head Herbert M. Buchta, Dormont, Scarab President, TruPub. Dorothy M.

Vki 0‘B� !is Had of Dtp 'tnrnt of Mwic The Music Department prepares its stU' dents for either teaching or concert work. The ones who prepare for teaching are qualified for positions in public school work or for teaching private lessons. The stU' dents who are preparing for concert work gain valuable experience in the Carnegie Tech Symphony Orchestra. Those who are exceptionally talented can also do concert work. All Music students receive some training in both vocal and instrumental music. Those who major in voice must have some work with at least one instrument, and those who study instrumental music must learn at least piano music in addition to their major instrument. The trend in past years has been toward concert music as a profes' sion instead of teaching. The work of this department is frequently exhibited to the public in symphony con' certs given at Carnegie Music Hall and also at smaller recitals at the Little Theatre. Many radio programs provide experience in broadcasting work and several of these programs have been on a nationwide hook' up. The Music Department also gives record recitals of symphonies to which all students are invited. [76] The Big Boys Esther Amsler, Pittsburgh; Beta Tau Lambda, Sigma Alpha lota.

During their first two years they all study English, history, psychology, and a science, as well as electives from the various departments. With this educational background they are prepared to spend their remaining years specializing in subjects which will prepare them for their chosen professions. Under the direction of Dr. Charles Watkins, the college tries to develop the cultural as well as the technical training of its students, even though it is primarily not a liberal arts, but a technical school. Its high standards and well-planned courses assure the girls of an education that will well fit them for fulfilling the jobs they take when they graduate. During the school year several teas and other social functions are held which bring the girls together as friends, not merely acquaintances. Many organizations give teas for the freshman girls to acquaint them with their activities and to help the girls find the activities that interest them. Circle. Doutbitt, Cerveria.

Students from the foods and nutrition course study .. scientific basis for depart' mental subjects such as food selection and preparation, nutrition, and marketing. When they graduate, they can do work in dietetics, public health, managing tea-rooms, or advertising for food industries. The teacher training course prepares its girls for teaching both foods and clothing in public schools. It is given in cooperation with the Costume Economics Department. The Costume Economics Department offers the course in dress design which includes the study of textiles, dressmaking, applied design, costume design, home decoration, and specific clothing problems. This course is designed to give technical skill in sewing and design together with the development of “fashion sense.

The Regular Course offers technical training which enables a girl to develop her own initiative in various fields. The Teacher Training Course offers the knowledge of teaching secretarial subjects as well as me' chanical skill. List, the College Graduate Course offers a one year course in secre' tarial work to college graduates. Along with their secretarial studies the girls carry academic subjects history, sci' ences, and languages, as well as Business English and Business Law. This cultural background provides opportunities for the graduates to take positions requiring more than simply a knowledge of business methods. One of the interesting organizations in the Secretarial Department is the Secretarial Club, headed this year by Jane Purse a purely social organization open to all secre' tarial classes. Another littledcnown, inter' esting item is the fact that in the Secretarial Department are enrolled more than twice as many students as there are in any other department in Margaret Morrison.

These valuable attrF butes are obtained through outside field work and cooperation with settlements or agencies. Well-defined courses include the study of child psychology, history, and sociology. A graduate course includes two years of special preparation for a master's degree, which is highly desirable for a professional career. Problems arising in the three divisions of social work—the individual, the group, and the community—are aided by the research of the graduates who are thus brought into direct contact with the needy. For further enlightenment the social work' ers attend forums and lectures together. forming invaluable interests and friendships. A children's party is held each year for less fortunate children.

Invigorating fall winds blew Tech students back to another school year to resume activities on campus. Girls clashed hockey sticks, lingering couples watched the last of the tennis matches, and the gridiron beckoned its mighty army of fans while the Kilties stirred enthusiasm in the hearts of lads and lassies. As brisk as the air itself were pep rallies and determinations to be victorious. Friendship, sports, studies, all activities became part of the campus so that one Techite said to another, “Great to be back - wonderful weather—swell game. Poor Maggy Murphs The Kick Off I Got It Registration The Prexy Kilts Coach Risedorph Around End We Lost It { 102] William Kern Head Coach HIS WARRIORS AND THE BATTLEFIELD Big Bill began his 1939 season with high hopes of bettering his successful 1938 season. Not long after returning from the Sugar Bowl, the team was hard at practice. For six hectic weeks the boys drilled, but there was a lack of the old spirit that had carried them through the previous season. They failed to react to the new system which Kern attempted to install. By the 10th of September the bewildered Tartans knew what was expected of them, but how to do it remained a question. Four years ago. Bill Kern was promoted from an assistant coach at Pitt to the head coach at Tech. He had a mediocre season his first year, but his second year was one of the best the school has ever had; seven wins, and only one loss. That year Kern was chosen Coach of the Year. His third year, however, was disappointing, and with no contract to hold him, Big Bill decided to try his chances with the University of West Virginia, where he is now head coach. { 105] Bert' IN ACTION . . . Dr. Edward B. Baker, better known in the world of athletics as Eddie”, who was appointed head football coach at Carnegie last February, is, as was his predecessor. Bill Kern, a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, and a gridiron product of Dr. John B. Sutherland. He was one of the most versatile undergraduate athletes of his day at Pitt, being equally adept at football and basketball. He was considered too slight to be a football star, and was just another player as a Freshman, but he attracted Sutherland's eye as a sophomore. He was a brilliant passer and kicker, one Doc Baker of the best field generals in Pitt's experience, and for a man who weighed less than 170 pounds at that time, he hacked up a line with an efficiency that belied his lack of heft. Dr. Baker graduated from the Pitt School of Dentistry in 1932. He captained Pitt's 1930 football team, played in one Rose Bowl game and was a member of the All-East team in his senior year. He practices dentistry in the Oakland district, five minutes from the Tech campus. He coached the hackfield for Dr. Sutherland at Pitt for six years, served three years as Kern's assistant at Carnegie, and was virtually everybody's choice for the head coaching position when Kern resigned. Considered one of the finest ends in Pitt's history. Joseph Skladany, known to his intimates as Muggsy'', was an All-American in 1933. He completed his academic work at Pitt in 1934, and was on their coaching staff in 1935. Skladany retired from active coaching when he became affiliated with a large oil company, but got Kick into the game when Bill Kern became head coach at Carnegie in 1937. He had charge of the Tartan ends during the Kern regime, and upon Bilker's appointment as head coach this year, Skladany was elevated to first assistant. Muggsy” is highly popular with the players, as he is the cajoling rather than the driving type of coach. He is a native of the hard coal regions of Eastern Pennsylvania. The latest addition to the Carnegie staff is William Biff Glassford, also an ex-Pitt star, having completed his playing days for the Panthers in 1935. He has been affiliated with the Manhattan College coaching staff in New York for the last two years. Glassford was one of Pitt's best modern guards, and the guards will be his especial pets and problems at Carnegie. Glassford entered the University from Lancaster, Ohio. We want Al y .. • .'V H . ' V.V . A SIXTY YARD DASH . . . . The greatly favored “Eastern Champs” began their season with a mediocre “Wittenberg” team, before a crowd of 6000 spectators. As the game went on, it was easy to see that the defending “Champs” had lost their last season's form. It was not until midway in the second quarter that the Tartans were able to push over a lone score. The half ended with the score standing at 7 0, in favor of the Skibos. The second half brought out an entirely new, spirited Tartan team. After two minutes of play, the Tartans were pushing over their second touchdown. From then on, it was just a desperate struggle for the Lutherans to keep the score as low as possible, ending with a final score of 35-0. The game was not forgotten by the team, for many a mem-ber of the squad still gets his share of the criticism being passed upon last season's outcome, which began with this game. The Tartans should be very thankful that they entered this game with the intent of playing good football, for in Case the team found a bunch of determined boys. Besides being determined, the Engineers had much more than they were given credit for; they had one of the best air offenses that the Tartans met last season. Our boys were quite fortunate in having the weather on their side, and throughout the afternoon many a pass was dropped on account of cold fingers. Because the weather played havoc with the Engineers' offense, our boys had an easy afternoon running the ball from one end of the field to the other. When the Tartans stopped running, the scoreboard read Carnegie Tech 21, Case 0. This was the only game of the season in which the team showed its real strength on the field. f 108} t 109 } THE TARTANS SET THE PACE Arriving at New York, the squad was met by a host of newspaper photographers. The boys wasted so much time in getting their pictures taken, that Coach Kern had to ask (in his polite fashion) that the pho-tographers leave the field. The Tartans began one of the worst games of the season by taking the ball on their own 10 and driv-ing it down to the Violets 20 yard line, where the ball was lost by a pass intercep' tion. From then on it was the same story throughout the entire afternoon. The Vio-lets spent most of the afternoon on the defense, until late in the third quarter, when they picked up a bad kick and brought it back to midfield. From here they pulled a double lateral play that netted them a touchdown and also the ball game. With this handicap our boys got careless and began throwing the ball around in a desperate attempt to tie up the game, but things didn't go their way and the game ended with the Tartans on the short end of the score; the final score being N. Y. U. 6, Carnegie Tech 0. Although the score was 7 to 6 in favor of Notre Dame not one of the crowd of 69,000 could help agreeing that there was honor for both sides. Trying to avenge the previous setback suffered at the hands of N. Y. U. the Tartans for the only time during the season, played the type of ball that was expected from last year's “Eastern Champs.” The first half was a see-saw battle with neither team having a decisive advantage. The luck of the Irish netted them a touchdown in the third quarter when, as a result of a disputed ball, a Notre Dame end crossed the goal for a touchdown. Then the point that was eventually to decide the game was calmly kicked by a Notre Dame halfback. Not depressed by this sudden change of events the Tartans came back fighting, and the fourth quarter saw them march 80 yards for a touchdown. Then once again the picture was suddenly changed as the Notre Dame center crashed through and blocked the extra-point kick. In the closing moments the Tartans tried desperately to score by a series of passes but to no avail. The Tartans entered the City of Brotherly Love with a feeling of revenge and exoneration. The game began in great style for them, and the first five minutes of play saw one Tartan halfback crossing the goal line. It looked as though they were really ready to go places that afternoon, but something seemed to stop them abruptly. Most of the spectators thought it was a shift in defensive tactics that did the trick. From this point on the game was fairly even, with the exception of a few flashes of offensive drive by each of the teams. The strongest of these came toward the end of the game when the Owls took possession of the ball on their own 49 yard line and drove it down to the Tartans' 8 yard line. This was the only threat the Owls had made in the entire afternoon and the final whistle left the Tartans on top by a score of 6 to 0. [in} THE WIND UP OF THE SEASON The twenty'sixth rivalry between these two grand schools took place November 11, on a clear cool day. A large crowd of 55,000 gathered to cheer for their respective teams. It was a very hard'fought game, and both teams lived up to the traditional fight and spirit as shown in previous battles. Both teams threatened many times during the game, but when they reached the shadow of the goal they were repulsed. It looked as if the game would end in a scoreless tie; but with only two minutes to go in the final period, a Pitt sophomore stepped into the picture, and after eluding a horde of Tartan tacklers, he whirled and sent an amazingly long pass that nestled into the arms of a Pitt halfback standing in the end zone. The extra point bounced back from the uprights but it made no difference as Tech's last few passes fell incompleted. The Tar' tans then left the field congratulating the Pitt boys on the victory and chalking up another loss on the debit side of their record. An amazed crowd of 30,000 saw Holy Cross run three perfect football plays for three touchdowns and down Tech 21 to 0. The Tartans actually did not look as bad as the score indicated. The statistics were all on the side of the Skibos, and, except for those three long jaunts, they might have had a definite word in the final say'so. Holy Cross struck quickly for a pair of touchdowns in the first eight minutes, with touchdown number three coming in the final period. But it wasn’t until the middle of the fourth quarter that the Crusaders could boast of a first down and in the meantime Tech had piled up the almost unbelievable total of twelve. Although the Tartans were dan' gerous and threatened throughout the game, they never fully recovered from the shock of the first two touchdowns. Pass inter' ceptions halted Tech's long drives and the yardage gained was of no avail. [112! Duquesne, which had won seven straight games, was favored to defeat Tech in the Tartans' final game of the season. A fair sized crowd of 38,000 witnessed the contest. The action was fast, with Duquesne starting a drive from mid-field that ended in a touch' down after a lateral pass on the two yard line from the left halfback to the quarterback; the extra point was missed. The Tartans then started a drive that was stopped by a fumble. The quarter ended with the score 6-0 in favor of the BlufFites. At the begin' ning of the second period, Tech, showing some of the best form of the season, started a drive from the Duque's forty which reached its climax when the Tartans' left half scored from the ten yard line. Tech sprang into the lead when their try for the extra point was good, and although the Nightriders threatened, the Scots led by one point at the half. However, the lead was shortlived, for Duquesne applied her power at the start of the third quarter and soon netted a touch-down on a plunge by one of the halfbacks. Their extra point was good, but they weren't satisfied, so they added a field goal from the twenty-third yard line and another touchdown in the final period, making the score 22-7, and ending the season.

Sommer molded five seniors Greene, Minton, Penberthy, McMillen, and Whittum into a combination which reached third place in the Regional Championships of the Men's National Intercollegiate, nosing out Navy by eight points; in the final nation' al standings Carnegie Tech was fourth. Matches with the University of Maryland and the United States Naval Academy were held on March 15. Finding the competition a bit too strong, the plebes dropped both matches to the freshmen of Maryland and Navy, and although the varsity scores were much better, they too lost both matches. In the postal matches Tech fared rather well, winning thirteen and losing twelve to such teams as the United States Marine Barracks, Ohio State, and Michigan State. The team for these matches, in which results are exchanged with five or six other schools, was composed of the five seniors already men' tioned and Rathbun, a sophomore. Tech also shot in the National R. O. T. C. Match, the Hearst Trophy Match, and the R. O. T. C. Match. Competition this year was based on three positions only, and not the usual four. The sitting position was eliminated, and the possible score for a five man team was 1500 instead of the previous 2000. The Women's Rifle won all but one of the matches it shot this year with Rhode Island State, University of Kansas, Beaver College, Cornell University, Ripon College, Uni' versity of Maryland, University of Nebras' ka, University of Michigan, and University of California. In the Inter'Collegiate Matches, Rosemary Novak came out first over fifty girls from all over the country, with Mary Thomas as fourth, Jane Purse, fifth, and Shirley Bernstein, twentieth. In spite of the fact that the girls had very little time to practice this year, they made a re' markable showing, and Sergeant Sommers is confident that next year will show even better results. [ IH] CROSSCOUNTRY The cross'country team was somewhat handicapped this past year due to the fact that the two best runners were ineligible. However, the team was able to win one of their four meets. All the meets this year were away from home. Carnegie's victory was over Grove City, and the three losses were to Bethany, Westminister, and West Chester State Teacher's College. Haupt, Herpich, Sions, Stuermann, and Weber were recommended by Coach Halferty to receive their letter sweaters. There are several promising men on this year's freshman squad, and the team is looking forward to a much better season next year. SOCCER With a team comprised of eight seniors, Coach Pat O’Connor looked forward to the 1939 season with high hopes. But the Skibo hooters' experienced playing failed to compensate for the lack of breaks. In spite of the outstanding efforts of Capt. Forrest, at inside right, Ruthrauff and Graham in the rear line, and Jones in the goal, the team had a bad season. Losses through graduation will leave only a few lettermen and some freshmen recruits to carry on. The rugged' ness of the sport and the fairness of the coaching, however, gain more soccer enthusi' asts at Carnegie each year. CHEERLEADERS This year the cheerleaders brought in several innovations in the form of tumbling tricks, which were well received by the stands. The cards were also used again successfully, and we assure you that, even though you haven't the slightest idea what you were making, the displays you made were really worth the effort. A lot of wo- k went into the making of the card displays; and a lot of bruises were sustained before the tumbling tricks were mastered, but the fellows feel that the results were well wo:th the effort expended. The boys took two trips this fall and from all we can gather, a good time was had by all on both occasions. AUTUMN SPORTS Top Row: WuwJick. Met! hoe. Mute hi ton. Foal. Middle Rm: Zoif. Ciriocc.

The complexity of winter life quickened the pace- weeks flew by exams came and left engineers a little thinner, Maggie Murphs a bit paler. But life went on, and the social side was not neglected. Great numbers braved the snow to attend weekly informals at Thistle Hall, and the campus population was always well represented at formals, and so went winter. i 116] THE BASKETBALL SEASON With the solid determination and spirit to live up to the name of conference chanv pions, the Skibos opened the season early in December. Rube Stark, Jimmy Tumpane and Red Sturgeon carried the brunt of the burden relieved and augmented by such notables as Johnny “Little Trigger Burke, Kermit Patton, Ted Fisher, and Frank Kirk. From the start an uphill climb was in store for the Tartans, but spirit was with the lads as they topped two and dropped two in December. Loyola of Chicago brought one of the finest Kittles and the biggest bag of laughs. The Chicago hardwoods took one squint at the stolid Sturgeon “Give that guy with the cheaters ten feet and forget him. Trigger Burke and the Rube went World's Fair commercial with their short and long Kinging the backboards to victory. Hectic was the word for Hannum during the pre'semester windup, for his charges lost the zip and dropped four with a lone win over Penn State at the Gym. Tartan fans no longer turned to the boys for a brilliant albround feature, but rather did they look for the Laughing Boy at center. Stark's consistent work at the foul line, his do'ordie determination under the hoop and on the court, and his fighting spunk through' out the game, brought citations from the local scribes and admiration from all his several thousand followers. Colorful were Tumpane and Burke, diminutive against the giant Titans and Lions. Exams came and went, but the hangover stayed and haunted the lads through another quintet of contests. The Eastern trip was a bounce with double dips from Temple, and Franklin and Marshall. Highlight of the season came the following week when Pitt's traveling Panthers invaded Schenley Park. The Panthers were odds'on favorite after their overwhelming victory against Carnegie earlier in the year. Close, point for point, yielding no quarter, the Forbes Street rivals battled for forty full minutes before the boards showed Tech in front, 4644. With the addition of Herman Hennessy, Herb Niederberger, and Les Drugman, the Skibos picked up a little in form, but com' petition kept them from anything near sen' sational. The season's record looked meagre compared to our Bluffite rivals, but the local lads had a good time playing and the crowd was with them all the time Moral: Fight for Carnegie! ! Srurecoo. K.

Here he attended the University of Pitts' burgh and graduated from the School of Economics in 1922. While in his Junior year at college he started work with the Pittsburgh Press, first in the city department, and later in the sports department. He worked part time through college, and then full time after he graduated until he became affiliated with Carnegie Tech in the October of 1929. At that time, he was Publicity Manager for Athletics, but in the fall of 1932 he succeeded Ralph Hogan as varsity basketball coach. Since then he has been doubling up on the two jobs.

The two losses were by no means a disgrace as they were both to very powerful teams (Temple and Penn State), and also, many of the victories were over very strong oppo' nents. Some of the teams defeated were: Slippery Rock, Ohio Weslyn, University of Delaware, and Western Reserve. The team was co'captained by splashers Jim Lochhead and Bob Vance, and was managed by Russell McLean. Several previous team records were broken and ten men were recommended by Coach Risedorph for letter sweaters. Bill Molvie, an outstanding swimmer for the past couple of years, was elected captain of next year's team. The record of the freshman team was not quite as enviable as that of the varsity; the team winning only one out of five meets. However, there are a number of good pros pects for next year's varsity squad, who will be most needed, as ten of the present var-sity men are seniors and hope to soon be leaving for parts unknown.

HOCKEY TEAM After much debating on the part of the OhioPennsylvania Intercollegiate Hockey League, the hockey season was begun rather late, on December 9. From the standpoint of games won and lost the Tartan icers did not fare so well, winning only four of the eight league games played, but they showed plenty of spirit and always put up a good fight. The outlook for the coming year is very good with Black, Church, Buchanan, Feiler, Sivachek, Soddy, and Wilson remaining as the mainstays for the squad. The absence of a freshman team makes it quite impossible to predict the caliber of freshmen who will be eligible to play next year. Water C. Wilson was elected captain of the team, and Herbert J. Fair acted as manager. The players who will graduate at the end of this year are Ely, Herre, Schilawske, Wilson, and Burleigh. Top Row. Hcrre. Buchanan. Sivachek. Burlewh Hector, Rev Ely. Ament.

Spring was long in coming, but spring thoughts and ideas spread over the campus the first warm day, and winter coats were shed as fast as converts ble cars were brought out seemingly from nowhere. All roof-covered abodes were forsaken, and the greens attracted the strollers, the sitting couples, ice-cream cone consumers, and tennis players on sun'covered courts. In the spring a young man's fancy turns to Carnival, and all enthusiasm was dim' axed in that week-end where the true Tech spirit was found, where lads and lassies gathered for the last social fling of the highly successful and ever-to-be remembered 1940 college year on Carnegie’s campus.

TRACK SEASON Despite the loss of many stars through graduation the 1939 track team had one of their most successful seasons. They started the season by meeting the strong Western Reserve team and lost to their one man squad, Joe Scott, the National Decathlon Champion. To make up for this the Tartans defeated Waynesburg, Geneva, Bethany, and Grove City in order, before entering and winning the Intercollegiate meet. After losing to Western Reserve in the initial meet of the year. Coach Guy Hah ferty’s squad came back to take a 67-59 win over the Waynesburg Jackets. The feature of this meet was the breaking of the Carnegie Tech home javelin record by Karl Striegel. Carnegie first place winners were; Loos, 440-yard dash; Haupt, 880yard and mile runs; and Liversidge, the two-mile run. By almost the same score the Tartans turned back Geneva, 68-57. The meet was very close throughout, the last event of the day, the shot put, determining the winner. In this event Carnegie took all three places with Condit, Moroz, and Striegel placing in that order. Sturgeon accounted for a double with victories in both hurdles, as did Haupt in the 880 and mile runs. Liversidge stayed undefeated for the season in the two-mile run with an easy victory. The Tartans continued in their winning stride by defeating the trackmen from Bethany 7T55. This meet was virtually won in the weight events when Striegel, Church and Moroz combined to take all the places in the shot put, the discus, and the javelin throws. Sturgeon took firsts in the high and low hurdle events. The Carnegie trackmen wound up a very successful season by retaining their title in the Tri-State Intercollegiate Track Meet at Beaver Falls where the Tartans overcame a slim lead held by the Waynesburg Jackets and won by 3 5 of a point. Coach Halferty's men scored in all of the 15 events on the program and took four first places. The outstanding men in the meet for Tech were Loos, Haupt, Sturgeon, Condit, and Striegel. Haupt wound up his first year on the varsity by taking seconds in both the mile and half-mile runs. Sturgeon placed second in both the high and low hurdles. In the weight events the Tartans scored heavily, taking firsts in all three competitions. Condit took firsts in both the shot put and discus; and Striegel won the javelin. Loos, one of the few seniors on the squad, took second in the quarter mile, and then ran a fast anchor leg on the winning relay team to clinch the meet for Carnegie.

Under an able staff, the paper has attempted in its editorials and activities to stimulate student interest in intellectual activity and campus affairs- an aim which on the whole has been carried out successfully. An editorial campaign to purge the campus of the program of Freshmen regulations and to point out its foolishness and unfriendliness was waged at the beginning of the year. It evoked much interest and comment among both the students and administrators who were given space in the paper to voice their opinions. Although no definite steps were taken in any one direction the campaign at least made the campus conscious of this problem. Editorials for a while dealt with subjects of national and international importance, but these were discontinued in favor of subjects more related to Tech and campus events. One policy introduced by the 1939-40 Tartan was the printing of the minutes of Student Council meetings. This practice was accepted with enthusiasm by the school body; for it was the first time such a medium had ever been used to acquaint the students with the work of their governing body. The Sunderland for President campaign in which the Tartan so enthusiastically indulged was undertaken with no serious intentions. The campus for a while was completely baffled by the Tartan's apparently serious support of this Oakland candidate for the presidency of the United States. Huge posters appeared on all bulletin boards, and editorials glowing with praise were written. Eventually the student body saw the light, and the campaign became the joke of the year. Top. Hutch.

Aniuo { 152] Bernard Lkhovit David Sloane Harold Quell John Burke Bernard Lebovit Editor The two-issue-a-week policy which met with a school'wide approval had its begin' ning simultaneously with the second semes-ter and its death on April the first. Although the idea was highly successful and made the paper more up-to-date on news and more interesting because of the increased number of articles which would be included, it failed because of lack of funds. It is hoped that some future plan will be evolved which will make the publication of the two issues weekly more practical. The “Sadie Hawkins Day” Dance, a well planned and executed Tartan idea, was a very hilarious event which will in all probability be repeated next year if this year's enthusiasm has any influence on the decision. The race of “girl catch boy” began on a Tuesday at the firing of a gun and during the rest of the week it was open-hunting season. Each captured male was decorated with a flower and obligated to attend the dance with his fair capturer. The dance was highlighted by the unique hillbilly costumes worn by the guests. “Lonesome Polecat” captured the prize as the most individual one. Oddly enough it is the male faction of the campus which is clamoring for a repeat next year. Though the Tartan has an abundance of capable writers and reporters, it welcomes and encourages any and all student contributions or news items. At most any time you will find the Tartan office busy with staff members composing its sheets and helping to retain and polish the fine reputation which the Tartan has built on Tech's campus. {153] THE TECHNICAL OFFICERS Richard Manning H. Stanley Burk Arthur E. Snowden The Carnegie Technical, a student tech' nical magazine, in 1940 reached its fourth year of successful publication. Now a permanent feature on the Tech campus, the Technical presents articles of interest to those students and teachers involved in engineering work. These articles are con' tributed by faculty members, graduates, and undergraduates. The magazine offers opportunities to those interested in it from both the journalistic and the technical points of view. This year the Technical consisted of thirty pages, and succeeded in being a bigger and better magazine than it had been before. The year also saw a reduction in price— from twentydive cents to ten cents an issue. Recognition must go to the faculty mem' bers of the advisory board who gave valuable assistance throughout the year. The mem' bers of the board are Professor Leo T. Lawler, of the English Department; Dr. Webster N. Jones, Director of the College of Engineering; and Dr. R. F. Mehl, head of the Metals Research Department. No small amount of the success of the Technical may be attributed to the capable management of its staff. The staff includes Richard Manning, Editordn'Chief; H. Stanley Burk, managing editor; and Arthur E. Snowden, business manager. Together with general articles, the Tech' nical publishes an “Activities” page, con' taining news of engineering organizations. Some of these organizations are Tau Beta Pi, which group published the entire January 1940, issue; the American Society of Metallurgical Engineers; and Eta Kappa Nu. Top Row Stull. ShriftK� . Dixon.

[154] THE SCOTTIE OFFICERS William Statler Russell McLean Helen Ford A humor magazine which is edited by the students has its place on almost every cob lege campus in America. At Tech this place is filled by the Scottie. Variety and entertainment are supposed to go together; therefore, each month the Scottie, known before its reorganization as the Puppet, at' tempts to present some new features to its readers, as well as its regular jokes, poems, stories, fashion news, and bits of gossip' known to Scottie readers as Fleas. During the year, both art and editorial contributions were welcomed by the staff, which was again headed by a male editor. Among some of the outstanding issues of the year were the Maggie Murph issue, the Carnegie Campus Survey issue, and the issue con' taining a satire based on the Wizard of Oz. Contributors to the Scottie were many. Besides the actual staff, there were repre' sentatives from every dormitory, several social organizations, and all three colleges. This last season found all those concerned gathering every Tuesday in the office which is located on the third floor of the Carnegie Union to discuss the next issue, and to suggest new ideas and improvements for the publication. While the general atmos' phere was relaxed and easy-going, one rule held firm the deadline must be met! Once each month, typewriters clacked noisily, and reporters came rushing into the office with their assignments at the last minute. The activity often lasted far into the night as the editor and his staff worked to get the magazine ready to send to the printers. Such is the life of those who work on the Scottie, but they love it.

McGarvey Bettv Jane Williams The Handbook, Student Directory, and the Song Book are the publications of the Tri'Pub staff. This year, however, the Student Directory has been published by the school and not by this staff. These publications are of great service to every student at Tech because of the valuable information they contain. At registration, students receive the Student Handbook, which is a source of information to all. Traditions and regulations governing the actions of men and women, eligibility rules, campus activities, and officers of the various campus organizations are listed in the “Plebe Bible . In addition to these are the captains and coaches of the various teams, the athletic schedules, and all of the songs and cheers. It is edited in the spring and summer of the year and this activity is open to any student; men and women of all undergraduate classes. Activities keys are given for two years' and four years’ service, and all members are eligible for staff positions. Published in the fall of the year, the Student Directory contains information concerning the home and local address and phone numbers of every day student, the member of each fraternity, sorority, and honorary. When published by the Tri-Pub staff, the Directory usually contains a list of local merchants and the services they offer. The circulation of the Song Book has been slow among the students. A true reminder of the Carnegie spirit, it is published every ten years, next year being the year of its publication. Top Durbin. TownwnJ, Vin Ncrt, Levy. Beck. Bt tow Trow. Putt. B. W ilium .

Mark Shaw Janet Stover Arthur Handlos John Luther Culminating three years of expansion and development, the Dorm Bagpiper this year became a recognized influence in campus life. At the beginning of the year the Bag' piper came out in printed form, having been heretofore mimeographed. Its style was completely revised to include all news pep taining to both the men's and women's dormitories in relation to the campus as a whole, as well as all important articles haw ing general interest. A biographical feature was inaugurated which sketched the history and accomplishments of prominent dormitory residents, and a sports column containing items about dormitory athletics was also added. Besides these features, the paper contained a column of miscellaneous goings on about the dormitories that was of interest to everyone, even the Administration! The fact that the Bagpiper was able to be published in the printed form was due to the support of the Women's Dormitory Council which, after conducting a poll among the women dormitory residents, agreed to assess each girl fifty cents. This additional revenue was sufficient to cover the cost of printing. The Men's Dormitory Council carried the rest of the financial burden which amounted to threeTourths of the total. Student Council refused to allow the Bagpiper to solicit advertising, therefore all the expense had to be defrayed by the dormitory students. However, the financ ing was well handled, and permitted issuing of a paper every week with the exception of holidays and exam periods. Top Rot ’ R. Rottler. Ray. Luther. Sl lton. Kent. Goldtah.

Baker Outstanding among the college bands of the country is our own Kiltie Band. The Kilties have become famous not only for their unique Scottish Kilts, but have also distinguished themselves by becoming one of the best drilled bands in the nation. Organized in the fall of 1910, the boys played under their own supervision until 1912 when Mr. E. F. Sullivan was hired as director. The Kilties are still using the original uniforms which were purchased in Scotland in 1922 through the efforts of the Night Student Council. After the death of “Sully” in 1938, Mr. J. Vick O'Brien, head of Tech's music department, took over the direction of the band. Mr. O'Brien has molded the Kiltie Band into as fine a concert band as they are a marching unit. He has been assisted in this for the past year by Fred Graff '39. The fine concert presented by the Kilties in the Carnegie Music Hall this spring was followed by a dance held the same evening in Thistle Hall. { 160} During football season, the Kilties spend long hours of drill in perfecting the intricate formations displayed at the games. With the facility of movement capable only of a band the size of the Kiltie Band, the Kiltie Band has been the foremost exponent of the moving letters formation, and numerous other complicated maneuvers. The Kilties took to the road on two oc-casions this year. On the first occasion, they accompanied the team to the Case game at Cleveland. The Kilties led the Tartans in a decisive victory over the Case “Rough Riders” in a packed stadium. The people in the Buckeye State were well pleased and enthusiastic over the excellent exhibition given by the Kilties between halves. The second trip, to the New York University game in New York City, was one of the finest trips ever taken by the band. The band together with a couple hundred students occupied a special train on this journey. Volumes could be written on the hilarity which reigned during the brief stay on the train. Arriving in New York City, the band was greeted by the New York Alumni of Carnegie Tech, and were made guests at a banquet held on the World’s Fair grounds. The Kilties made Hotel Pennsylvania their headquarters while they endeavored to “paint the town red”, and inspect the co-lossal New York World's Fair. They played a concert in the lobby of Hotel Pennsylvania, and one at the Fair grounds to huge crowds of people. To show its appreciation for the good work done by the Kilties, the school has purchased eight new bagpipes, and twelve kilts for the band. Besides its activity in school functions, the band has taken an active part in affairs around the city, including ushering for the President's Ball at the William Penn Hotel, playing for the centennial of the KDKA radio station, and many other civic engagements. In an effort to compensate these loyal advocates of school spirit, Carnegie Tech presents them with service keys. Members of the band are presented with silver and gold keys for two and four years of service respectively. We take our hats off to the Kiltie Band of the past, and wish it great success in the future. OFFICERS Thomas E. Ralston William E. Dugan Jack Hollerbaugh Joseph Wilson Paul Wines [161 ] Honorary Kiltie Band WOMEN’S GUILD OFFICERS Jane Long Mary Lou Pro el lochs Dorothy O'Brien The Women's Guild is one organization on campus that is completely unique in character and purpose. It is a group made up of representatives from all women's organizations on campus and whose work is devoted entirely to the benefit of under' privileged students. The year 193940 introduced several new enterprises which were received with great enthusiasm. The Guild dance, never before of any considerable success, was perhaps the most talked about and popular event of the school season. The Guild invited each women's organization to build and conduct the activities of a booth. Proceeds from each booth went into a fund for carfare for stU' dents who find this a major financial problem. The idea was so well accepted that Thistle Hall was turned into a veritable carnival ground and a festival atmosphere prevailed. The Annual Card Party was again a high' light of the Spring semester, and this year the Guild broke down convention by inviting boys as well as girls to the party. Tag days were held both in the fall and spring to raise money which went into a scholarship fund. It is a lucky thing that Carnegie Tech is fortunate in having such an organization. The work of the Guild has far'reaching effects and at last this fact is gaining recog' nition. More and more the Guild is gaining cooperation from other campus organizations and is coming into prominence as one of the most valuable organizations we have in our midst. The activities of the Guild are planned and managed by the President, a girl chosen in the Spring of her Junior year.

The W. A. A. sponsors such a wide variety of sports that every girl can find at least one in which she is particularly interested. Intercollegiate competition in hockey and basketball adds excitement to the girls' sports schedule. The hockey team came through with a victory over Pitt, after which the winners consoled the vanquished with doughnuts and cider. A group of badminton fans joined the Pittsburgh Badminton Association and have practiced faithfully for the tournaments. But in addition to offering tennis, badminton, swimming, bowling, and hockey, all for the nominal fee of one's interest in practicing, the W. A. A. has several purely social events every year. This year, two highly successful barn dances and a swimming party provided a gay time for all who attended. The representatives who were sent to the Allegheny Carnival and to a convention at Seton Hill profited by the exchange of ideas from the contacts with girls from other schools. Now, the big project which the W. A. A. board is undertaking is an outing cabin for the use of any women's group on campus. Although this cabin is as yet no more than a dream, the officers are working overtime trying to make this dream come true. So, in the very near future, the girls who spend a week-end at a beautiful, modern cabin in the woods may thank the W. A. A. Top Duncan. Novak. Hare. Gihaon. T. von Horvath Kxtom Davit. Craighead.

[ 163] MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OFFICERS Richard Manning Fred Kindl Einar Jacobson The Carnegie Men's Christian Associa-tion has a two-fold purpose on the Tech Campus- one, to provide for and create a religious attitude among the students two, to promote a social interest for the students during the year. With these objectives the cabinet begins the year with its Freshman Week activities. The incoming students are brought together at a corn-roast where they enjoy organized sports and are made acquainted with the churches in the neighborhood. The following Sunday the cabinet takes these new men to the church of their choice. To continue this start, the association then begins the year's bi-monthly chapel services where outside speakers address the students as to the part that religion can play in a college student’s life. In conjunction with the Women's Christian Association the cabinet sponsored “Religious Emphasis Week”. During this week leading clergymen from the Pittsburgh area met with the students in open forums, chapel services, and dinner meetings, to discuss arising problems. During the year the Men's and Women’s cabinets held the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter dinners which have become traditional on the campus. To close the year the Men's cabinet led the Cook’s Forest Retreat which takes the men from their work for a week-end and brings them in contact with nature. The most pressing problems of the students and plans for the forthcoming year are discussed during this gathering. Top Rote. RicKirJton. SciMo. Farquhir. Button. FloyJ. Manor. Martin. Bottom Row.

[ 164 ] WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OFFICERS Margaret Townsend Ann Andraso Betty Wunderlich Claramae Mackey The activities of Carnegie Women’s Christian Association are open to any girl on campus. These activities not only further the girls' spiritual lives, hut provide many hours of good times. One of the most appreciated acts of the C. W. C. A. is the welcome given to the incoming Freshman girls. Juniors and Seniors acting as Big Sisters help them through the intricacies of registration and try to acquaint them with campus life. Their contacts with each other do not stop after Freshman week, though, for Big Sisters are always around to he helpful at any time during the year. Liter in the semester a Big and Little Sister Tea is held at the Union. Numerous meetings during the year give the girls the opportunity to hear some really line religious speakers. At an Interdenom- inational meeting this fall, held in cooperation with students from Pitt and P. C. W., a Jewish rabbi, a Catholic priest, and a Protestant minister, led an open discussion on the place of religion in modern life. The C. W. C. A. also worked hard to help make Religious Emphasis Week a success. Several dinner meetings during the year add interest to the social calendar, but the most eagerly awaited event of the year is the annual springtime retreat. A large group of girls, under the friendly direction of interesting leaders, take to the woods for a week-end, where they participate in discussions of religious problems. This weekend also gives the girls an opportunity to hike in the beautiful spring weather. The line officers and efficient cabinet made this year's activities quite successful. Tof Sttibn.

They par' ticipated in two broadcasts over KDKA and the NBC network, the Founder's Day celebration, and the football rally preceding the Pitt game. The Men's and Women's Glee Clubs combined for a Home Concert in the Fine Arts Theatre at the end of the year. This was followed by a dance that has always been an annual event. At the annual banquet in the spring, deserving members are given recognition in the form of awards. First year men receive the blue “C” on a white lyre, second and third year men are awarded silver keys, and senior members are given gold keys. The officers of the organization are awarded the jewelled key. The Glee Club rehearses twice weekly, once under the leadership of Dr. Karl Malcherek of the faculty and once under their student conductor Edgar J. Lewis. Arthur D.

Both Margaret Morrison and Fine arts students are invited to join. Miss Antoinnette E. Canfield, who has been director of the club for two and a half years was sue-ceeded in February by Mrs. H. I. Kurtz, a former student director of the Club. In preparation of the many concerts that are held during the season, rehearsals are held twice a week. Early in the season an Armistice Day program was given at the Westinghouse High School for the Home wood Brushton Council of Churches. This was followed by a Christmas program given for the C. I. T. Women's Club at the Girncgic Union. Liter in January, a recital was held at the School for the Blind followed by concerts at the Baptist Church and the Central Christian Church in March. This year the annual concert held at the Sixth Presbyterian Church was given on March 3. This program, consisting of sacred music, is so designated as Tech night. The Big Event of the year, the Formal Concert, was held at the little Theatre on April 13. Here competition ran high between the Men's Glee club and the Women's Glee Club. At the annual banquet held the first week in May, silver and keys arc presented for two and four active service respectively. 1939-40 was a proud year for the Girnegie Tech Men's Glee Club. Good music is always a treat, and the boys were given exceptional opportunities to show their talent this year. After entertaining at the Freshman Banquet at the beginning of the year, the forty members of the Men's Glee Club presented a series of successful concerts at the Syria Mosque, Oakdale High School, the Sixth Presbyterian Church, and Seton Hill College in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.

Wilson If in years to come a Tech graduate has one thing to look back on, that one thing will be Spring Carnival. It is a week-end that students live for a week-end crammed full of moments that will ever remain in the minds of those who attend. And the success of Carnival can be attributed largely to those on the Spring Carnival Committee appointed by Student Council. This committee is made up of responsible members of the Senior class who do all in their power to make the event run smoothly and efficiently- Work in preparation for Carnival begins several months in advance. The main problem is the signing of two bands for the dances. In the past the bands have always been of sufficient popularity to draw crowds. It is these crowds of both students and outsiders who guarantee the financial success of the week-end. A talented crew make plans for the decorations used in the Gymnasium, and the whole student body combines to create a festival appearance over the school. Elections for the Campus Queen and her court are managed by Student Council, while a Coronation Committee arranges the celebration of her crowning. Call Day with its tense moments of excitement for those called to various organizations on campus is capably planned and conducted by the President of Student Council. Other important jobs that have to be ably managed are those of the Sweepstakes Manager; Electrician; Head of Programs; Controller of Hey Day; Publicity Chairman; and Secretary whose duty it is to keep an efficient file of one Carnival to the next, and to do all she can to help the various committee heads. tow SlonlvfK.

I 168 } INTRAMURAL BOARD OFFICERS Willis Anthony Hugh Minton During the 1939-40 school year approxi-mately 500 students, well over a third of the entire male undergraduate student body, participated in the sixteen athletic activities sponsored by the Intramural Board. In this, its second year as a separate department at Carnegie, the Board has greatly enlarged the athletic program and is looking forward to an even greater participation in the years to come. The Board is composed of nine members, four selected by the fraternities, three by the dormitories, and two by the Fine Arts and Engineering Colleges. Mr. Frank A. Eyman acts as advisor to the board and co-ordinates their activities and policies with those of the administration. They meet every Thursday afternoon in the Trophy Room to hear protests, reports of the various committees, athletic rules, and to discuss the program for the future. An innovation of the past year has been the all-year point system. Teams participating in athletic competition are awarded points for entering and playing through their schedule, winning individual matches, and winning a championship. At the end of the year the organization with the greatest number of points will be awarded a handsome trophy to be held by them for the ensuing season. Individual and team awards are also given the winners of each athletic competition sponsored by the Board. The purpose of the Intramural Athletics is to provide athletic competition for as many students as possible, and toward this end the Board has made remarkable strides. Top Rtv Skx-j, Anihony. NVIkm.

Henderson Tau Beta Pi, National Engineering Honorary, chooses its members from the College of Engineering. For elegibility to Tau Beta Pi, a man must be in the upper eighth of the Junior Class. Men whose scholastic standing brings them within this require' ment are chosen for their activities and leader' ship. Growing steadily, the society now has sixty'eight chapters located in the leading engineering schools of the country. Among its members may be found some of the most eminent men in engineering. But Tau Beta Pi does not wish to be merely a society for mutual admiration. The chapter acts as a medium of better understanding between the faculty and the students. A comprehensive survey made several years ago, with subsequent recommen' dations to the administration, eliminated several points of friction. The members are now trying to clarify in the minds of other engineering students the ideals and objectives of the new Social Relations program. Other current activities include the bringing of several prominent speakers to the campus each year, and the tutoring and guidance of those of the Freshman class who are having difficulty. At pres' ent several of the members are working on the newly formed Interhonorary Council, which embodies the ideals of the various honorary groups at Carnegie Tech. Top Diton. Levy. Adlsm. Martin.

C 172] Phi Kappa Phi is a national honorary, established with the object of emphasizing scholarship and character in the thought of college students; to foster the significant purposes for which institutions of higher learning have been founded; and to stimu' late mental achievement by recognition through election to membership. Student members are chosen from the upper tenth of the senior class in the three colleges. The chapter at Carnegie also includes faculty members. Activities of this organization during the past year have been numerous and varied. At the initiation banquet in November, an address on astronomy was given by Director James Stokely of the Buhl Planetarium, followed by a lecture in the plane' tarium's Theater of Stars. Two months later, four Carnegie Professors participated in a round table discussion on current international affairs for the benefit of Phi Kappa Phi members and their friends. In February, this honorary sponsored a talk by Dr. Solomon Freehof, Rabbi of Rodef Shalom Temple. Dr. Freehof reviewed “Four Great Books of 1939”. The third annual Phi Kappa Phi lecture was given on April 6th by Dr. Harlow Shapley, Director of the Harvard Observatory. His subject was “New Work on Stars and Galaxies. A student assembly was sponsored by this organization on April 9th, at which Dr. H. L. Shantz of the U. S. Forest Service (and past national president of Phi Kappa Phi) spoke on “Big Game of the National Forests.” plu Kappa Plu OFFICERS Prop. J. B. Rosen bach Mr. G. A. Roberts Prof. R. T. Gabler Prof. L.

This is largely accomplished by sending members to Regional and National Conventions. Members of Theta Tau are chosen on the basis of scholarship, personality, and general interest in engineering. They receive their bid either in the fall or in the early spring. Most outstanding of Theta Tau's special activities is the award given to the most promising Senior Engineer. This award is made to the student chosen by the faculty committee on the basis of personality, contribution to Carnegie spirit, scholarship. Believing that the best engineer is not the one who concentrates on his own field to the exclusion of all else. Theta Tau seeks to combine technical and cultural interests. Among other activities this year were the trip to the newly completed Buhl Planetarium and the Founders' Day Banquet. Also, instead of the usual way, the more recent meetings have been held after an informal supper, with active discussion on a previously chosen topic of general interest. Dr. L. T. Lawler has led the discussions, and under his influence they have been extremely interesting. Top LseNich. Skelton. Reynolds Lsvensdar. Field. O'Brien. Middle Rotrler, Froehlieh. Hoeifcsn.

[174} Pi Tau Sigma is well known on campus as a mechanical engineering honorary fraternity which sponsors both social and business activities during the school year. The organization pledges its members in the spring and the fall, and fifteen new hoys were initiated the first half of the year. Among the noted activities is the Pi Tau Sigma Honor Roll posted each year in Engineering Hall. This is a list of the sophomores with almost perfect grades and affords much competition to the high' standing students. The fraternity gives two prizes a year for the best seminar speeches, and a Marks’ Handbook is presented to the one sophomore with the highest factor. Thus Pi Tau Sigma stimulates hard work for the many honors bestowed upon deserving engineers. In the social realm the Pi Taus are also prominent. In June a picnic is given for the senior mechanicals. The group helps with Exhibition Night by setting up the experiments in machinery hall and by ex' plaining the workings to the visitors. In collabora' tion with other honoraries on campus, Pi Tau Sigma sponsors the Interhonorary Dance held annually in Thistle Hall. This year a group of able officers head the frater' nity, and together with the cooperating members, the Pi Tau Sigma fraternity constitutes one of the strongest honoraries on campus.

This organization, consisting of thirty-three student and ten alumni chapters at the present time, is the only honorary society devoted exclusively to the elec-trical engineering profession in the United States. The Carnegie Tech branch, Sigma, has been active here since 1923. Each year, the New York alumni chapter awards a silver plaque to the outstanding chapter in the country. Last year, 1938-1939, the judges, unanimously voted in favor of bestowing this great honor upon the Carnegie Tech Sigma group. Many of the seniors in the present body were instrumental in bringing the coveted trophy to our school. They started a project last year which is being continued; it is the establishment of a shelf in the science library, where published articles of the alumni and faculty of the electrical department at Tech are collected and open to reference.

One of the leading societies on campus, the Scarab's purpose is to increase the appreciation of the graphic arts. One method of encouraging architectural students to produce more successful problems is by awarding prizes in the various classes. However, when it comes to national awards, the Scarabs do not limit themselves to members only, but encourage entries from any interested student in the arts. The widespread participation throughout the school proves that the Scarab Society is not a clique. Pledges are chosen after three semesters of design on the basis of personality and scholarship, by the members. Aside from its creditable work, the Scarabs hold some of the best social events on campus. To begin the year, they introduced the freshmen to upperclassmen through a departmental banquet. This is followed by the traditional Stag Party, a combination spaghetti affair and loads of fun. The informal initiation preceded the formal, which was held at the Schenley Hotel. A departmental picnic at North Park, to which guests were invited, ended the season at which time the freshmen had become very welcome members of Carnegie Tech and ever grateful to the Scarabs for introducing them to their new surroundings.

Greene Scabbard and Blade is a national honorary military organization made up of a selected group of men who are members of the advanced R. O. T. C. corps. There are a few men taken from the various branches of the United States Army who act as honorary members. These men are called in the fall and spring of each year, and their election to membership is based upon their interest in military science, their participation in campus activities, their general scholastic standing, and their intention to accept a commission upon the completion of the R. O. T. C. course. The primary function of the organization is to preserve and to develop those qualities which are essential to good and efficient officers. In order to accomplish this end. Scabbard and Blade is active in promoting a fellowship between the Military Department and the corps. The Captain chosen for this year was Russel McMillen, and Hugh Minton, Jr., acted as First Lieutenant. A brief resume of a few of the activities sponsored by Scabbard and Blade may suffice to give an idea of just what this organization has meant on Tech’s campus during the past year: the Military Ball, which was the outstanding social event of the first semester; presenting the Honorary Cadet Officers with their commissions; sponsoring of trophies and awards for the winners of the R. O. T. C. Company and cadet competitions; rifle and pistol meets with other companies; development of and interest in drill; the Spring Formal; an active interest and support for all worthy campus active ties; fostering a spirit of fellowship in the cadet corps—these are a part of Scabbard and Blade's activities.

Quoting from the remarks of the Grand President, Dale Gramley, as they appeared in the March issue of the official fraternity publication, the Epsilog, it is discovered that the function of this journalistic honorary is “(1) to elevate the cause of journalism, (2) to foster mutual welfare of student publications (3) to develop the truest friendship among its members, (4) to encourage loyalty to their Alma Mater, and (5) to reward the journalist for his efforts...” The Carnegie Chapter of Pi Delta Epsilon is endeavoring to be functional to the extent cited above. In its membership roll are representatives from a majority of the Tech campus publications. There is now in progress a publications contest with the end in view of stimulating student interest in the efforts of the Fourth Estate by having the students participate in a campus-wide publications contest, the entries of which are to be judged by three competent members of the Department of English. Dual recognition is being offered the winner in the form of a personal prize and the inscribing of his or her name on the permanent trophy. The local Chapter is represented on the Inter-honorary council by William Dickson, and in this way it is again attempting to promote its ideals and objectives in a very tangible way. Co-operating with the women's journalistic honorary, Alpha Chi Alpha, Pi Delta Epsilon is active in sponsoring journalistic activity in yet another way. The “Bard”, which in 1939 appeared in booklet form, is being produced this year through the joint efforts of the two aforesaid groups. Top Row. Dixon, Ro::!er. B« row Row. Lcbovit. Piper. Quell.

Easily recognized by their black hats with gold dragons, they are a group composed of Senior men representing both Fine Arts and Engineering colleges who have been chosen for their display of the Carnegie spirit, and as a reward for the offices they hold in their Senior year. Loyalty, integrity, personality, and ability to lead are req-uisites of a good Dragon. The boys receive their formal bids at Call Day during Spring Carnival weekend. In the past year their services have been inval-uable. Early in the year they gave the Freshmen a good send-off by sponsoring a “Welcome Fresh-man Dance. Liter the Penny-a-Pound Dance and the annual Greek Sing and Swing received the undivided attention of the Society. But it was at Carnival time that the true value of the boys came to the front. The various activities of the week-end could hardly have run smoothly had it not been for the careful guidance of the Dragons. And so it goes; the society performs its duties well, sees to its responsibilities, places its representatives on Student Council, and works for the betterment of school activities making it worthy of its coveted place on the campus.

The first convention included groups from Swarthmore Cob lege, Cornell University, Ohio State University and the University of Michigan; and at the convention this group of outstanding young women framed a constitution. In 1923 the Mortar Board Chapter at Carnegie Tech was founded. Mortar Board has been particularly busy this year; honoring the national president of the seventy-one chapters at a tea; attending their Sunday morning breakfast meetings; entertaining the University of Pittsburgh chapter at the Union; giving a “Smartie Party” for the girls on the honor roll; sponsoring a tea dance during Freshman Week; showing an old fashioned movie, “The Dropkick”; giving a dance after the Notre Dame pep rally; assisting at the Dean's tea for the mothers of the Senior girls; serving tea each day in Recreation Hall; and honoring the outgoing chapter at breakfast in the Twentieth Century Club on Commence' ment morning.

Bob Deans, chairman of the Prom and social chair' man of the Delta Skulls, was given the honor of crowning Patty Haislip as Queen. The Delta Skulls, as an organization of the most active junior boys, were responsible for the huge success of the Prom and the advertising campaign concerning it. A free tea-dance was given, and to work up enthusiasm, a door prize of a Junior Prom ticket was awarded to the holder of the lucky number. These same nineteen Delta Skulls are the boys who proved themselves to be outstanding in activities during their sophomore year active enough to receive bids to membership on Call Day. The lx)ys are given activities keys when called. Regular meetings are held every three weeks with extra ones thrown in where needed. At the beginning of the year, another bang-up tea-dance was given. The boys also helped to sponsor pep rallies and make them successful. In the spring, they of the maroon caps with skull and cross-bones, act as guides on Exhibition Night and decorate the gym for the Carnival dances. These helpful activities prove that the present members are worthy of being Delta Skulls. Top Re Block. FioyJ. Seiblf. McGarvcy, Martin. ttxtom Rcm Donbciatcr. Will . Heilman. Dcani, Jicobscci. I 182] The Scimitar Society is an organization of nine' teen sophomore men who, in their freshman year, were outstanding in activities and scholarship. Each Call Day these nineteen men are called upon to take up their duties as the leaders of their class. They have shown themselves worthy of this task through their ability in that line during the pre' vious year. The purpose of the society, in addition to honoring its members, is to give the freshman class the feeling that they are part of Tech, and to instill in them the true Carnegie spirit. Early in the year, together with the Cwens, the Scimitars aided in greeting the freshmen at the Deans' Reception, and helped the freshmen to acclimate themselves during Freshman Week. Later in the fall they cooperated in giving the Cwen-Scimitar Tea Dance, which was very successful. The Sophomore Hop was the next undertaking of the Scimitars and they were of great assistance to the Chairmen of the dance. The dance proved to be one of the outstanding dances of the year. Its motif was the coming exam week, and in line with this, the decorations were large representations of blue books and exam schedules. Scimitars may be recognized easily by their white crew caps with the black Scimitar emblem. You will always find them willing to lend a helping hand in anything that will benefit the school.

The purpose of the organization is to foster leadership and fellowship among the women of the Sophomore Class. Bids to membership are made on Call Day on the basis of leadership, character, scholarship, and participa tion in activities. The Cwens’ first job was to make the freshmen feel at home during Freshman Week; and, with the Scimitars, to aid at the Deans' reception. The Cwens sponsored the Twin Sister Movement. All transfer students were given a twin sister from the Sophomore class to help them to become acquainted and to assist them with their work. A Twin Sister tea was given for all transfer and graduate students. The Cwens take an active part in the social activities of the school. They gave a tea dance with the Scimitars early in October, and gave another tea dance on Valentine's Day. To cele brate Founder's Day the Cwens entertained the Cwens Alumnae by giving them a spaghetti dinner. The Cwens and the Scimitars sponsored the Sopho more Hop, which was one of the most successful dances of the year. The latter part of the year was devoted to the acquisition of new members. A tea was held for Freshmen shortly after Easter. “The Feast” was held a week after Call Day. It is the most impress sive of all Cwen ceremonies. Third Rex-. Lrwn. Biinnm. COOOUAN. WltiTXlY.

Alpha Chi Alpha's chief activity in the last two years has been the publishing of the “Bard”, a literary magazine of student composition. This is done in cooperation with Pi Delta Epsilon, the men's journalistic honorary. Alpha Chi Alpha not only takes part in editing publications but also takes an interest in the social affairs on the campus. They give at least one tea dance a year in order to raise money for the publication of the “Bard”. Each fall Alpha Chi Alpha makes a particular effort to acquaint freshman women with publica tions on the campus, and to help each girl find her place on the publication in which she is interested. Every year a tea is held to give the freshmen an opportunity to meet representatives from each pulv lication. The Carnegie Chapter has done much to raise the standards of our campus publications, and its members hold prominent positions on staffs of the Tartan, Thistle, and Scottie.

Its members are chosen from those girls who have been Second-Class Scouts and who attain a certain scholastic average; they may be from either Margaret Morrison or the College of Fine Arts. They are girls who are very active in every way, many of them being counselors in camps during the summer. On the campus the organization's most important activity is running the secondhand bookstore at the beginning of each semester. Each spring the Kappa Chi Kappa girls spend a week-end together. This year they were at the Girl Scout lodge in North Park, and although they were nearly rained out, they had a wonderful time. The Kappa Chi Kappas are back to normal this year with their rushing and pledging of new menv bers in the spring. Last year they had to do it in the fall, because of the need for new members. New girls are taken in at the Call Day exercises at the end of Spring Carnival and formally initiated at a dinner around this same time. Their other activities this spring were a non-rushing tea and a chocolate party for the pledges. Top Ro Ckaigimad. Khauiii. BtkKTTIIK, CfLITCNlOW. PotTIH. L . DouetAU. Sandman. Ltwtt, Mm . Bxiom Rmt.

This organization was founded in 1925 at Lafayette College and has grown steadily until it now has over eighty chapters. The purpose of the fraternity is “To assemble college men in the fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law, to develop friendship, and to promote service to humanity.” The Fraternity has four fields which call for its consideration; service to the student body and faculty, service to youth and community, service to members of the Fraternity, and service to the nation as participating citizens. Each year Alpha Phi Omega sets up an inform mation booth at the annual Carnegie Exhibition and assists visitors in as many ways as possible. They promoted a Safety Campaign and secured the services of two Aetna machines to test the students’ ability as drivers. The Fraternity is steadily ex' panding its field of service to the students. Next year they plan to take an active part in the oriental tion of Freshmen. Plans have already been drawn up for colored maps of the campus which will be sent to each new student. Kappa chapter of Alpha Phi Omega was founded at Carnegie in 1928 and has been steadily growing in both members and services rendered. The active membership of thirty was increased in 1940 by the addition of twelve new members. Alpha Phi Omega is actively supported by the faculty with Dr. Warden, Dr. Gregg, and Mr. Davis acting as advisors. Brother Kent D. Shaffer, also a faculty advisor, is a member of the execute tive board of the National Fraternity. OFFICERS Arthur C. Burleigh Herbert Fair Arthur Hirsch Alfred Part hum Top Hobh� . Mallory. Wine .

A chapter charter was granted on March 25, 1928, and the chapter has been active in sponsoring musical entertainment ever since. The national organization was founded December 6,1898, at the New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, Massachusetts. There are over seventy' five chapters to be found on the active roll. The Honorary is devoted to the cause of music and its members are selected from all the campus musical activities as well as from all students who are seriously interested in music. The 193940 year has been a very successful one for the chapter, having inaugurated a Freshman' Faculty Smoker for men students in the Music Department. The plan was repeated for the benefit of the Men’s Glee Club and for the Kiltie Band. It was host for the East Central Province Conveiv tion held during December when eleven chapters were represented. The program for the future year was planned, and problems facing Phi Mu Alpha' Sinfonia were ironed out. In addition, the chapter has sponsored many recitals and musical events in conjunction with the Women's Musical Honorary, Sigma Alpha Iota. These recitals give members an opportunity to exercise their talents and to acquaint them with an audience. This year the pledges to the organization presented a very interesting and talented musicale. Top Rier. Lew :t Miller. Rhea. Coulter. Datr. Bor . Fluke, HunwKfKcr. [ 188j To elevate the standards of musical education Iand musical performance; to dignify the profession; and to give moral and material aid to its members: these are the aims of Sigma Alpha lota. Founded by seven women in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in 1903, this women's professional music honorary has (grown to be the largest in the United States. There are now sixty seven active chapters in the country. Among the honorary members this sorority in' eludes such noted women as Lotta Lehman, Kirsten Flagstead, and Lily Pons. The Carnegie chapter, Alpha Mu, this year observed its tenth year of activity on the campus. A special banquet and musicale was given in honor of the anniversary. Other interests of the honorary are the musicales which are held once every month. Each year a formal spring concert is given in which the whole sorority participates. Another annual feature is the benefit musicale which was held this year in February. Sigma Alpha Iota also helps sponsor the Easter chapel along with Phi Mu Alpha of Sinfonia, the men's professional musical honorary, and the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs.

I 189 1 The Interhonorary Fraternity Council was started this year with the purpose of bringing the various scholastic and profes' sional honoraries on campus into closer relationship with each other and to promote the common objectives of these honoraries the development of scholarship, culture, creative initiative, and a continuing interest in being educated. The importance of scholarship cannot be overemphasised; and the honoraries should not only recognize it, but should promote it. Culture, too, is a vital part of education as it fosters the development of character and personality. Progress in educational meth' ods is related to the other problems and is particularly essential to the welfare of the individual student. All these are worthy of a more thorough study than they have already received, and the Interhonorary Fraternity Council is making such a study. Other activities of the Council will be instituted next year. The Council is composed of twelve mem' bers, one from each of the following scho' lastic and professional honorary fraternities: Phi Kappa Phi, Tau Beta Pi, Pi Tau Sigma, Pi Delta Epsilon, Scabbard and Blade, Eta Kappa Nu, Tau Sigma Delta, Theta Tau, Sigma Alpha Iota, Phi Mu Alpha of Sinfonia, Alpha Chi Alpha, Mortar Board, and Scarab.

[ 190 ] FRATERNITIES OFFICERS Howell Minton Vetter Kemmer The Hrst fraternity to be founded after the Civil War, Alpha Tau Omega, was originated with a definite purpose in view; to restore the Union, to unite fraternally the young men of the South with those of the North and to foster a Christian brother' hood dedicated to the task of achieving and cherish' ing permanent peace. As a result of a Cadet’s dream. Alpha Tau Omega was started by the Rev. Otis Alan Glazegrook on Sept. 11, 1865, at the Virginia Military Institute. Alpha Tau Omega prospered and has now grown into an organization having chapters in all parts of the country, with a total membership of almost 40,000. Two local fraternities at Carnegie petitioned Alpha Tau Omega at about the same time. In 1923 these two local fraternities then existing as Xi Sigma Upsilon and Delta Epsilon Omega, were combined under the national organization and be' came the Delta Pi Chapter. Since that time this chapter has assumed an important position among the national fraternities on the campus. To keep the chapters of the fraternity together when it branched to all sections of the country, the national chapter published the Palm, which is one of the foremost fraternity magazines.

Instead it has worked on the theory that the individual is all-important and that the work of the organization is to help its members develop the ability to live with one another congenially and to recognize and solve problems of the type which they will meet after graduation. With that view in mind, the program of last year was evolved and carried out. As usual, the annual tea for freshman women was held along with several other annual social events such as the pledge dance, winter formal, and house picnic. In addition, the year was made more interesting with numerous informal house dances and intramural competition. A system of Good and Welfare was instituted as a part of the new fraternity plan. It consists of a workable method of offering objective, constructive personal criticism for each of the members of the house. Also the plan introduced last year with marked success was continued; prominent men in a variety of political, social, and professional fields were invited to lecture on Sunday afternoons to the men in the house. By combining individualism with group activity so that neither imposes on the other. Beta Sigma Rho has attempted to rearrange itself in order to become an instrument for the education of its men by increasing the number and variety of the experiences which they meet at college.

In the past year they have continued their steady advance' ment, both in membership and in campus recogni' tion. Through diligent effort they have been able to realize an increase of nearly double their member' ship of a year ago, while the entrance of the members into all phases of campus activity has again brought the fraternity to the fore. On the athletic field the abilities and potentialities exhibited by the S. A. E.'s during the past year are seen to be definitely improved as indicated by their outstanding showings in all of the major sports as well as in the minor ones. While maintaining their spirit of entering all competitions, win or lose, they are coming out well up in the scoring. Tough football, basketball, and mushball leagues all saw the “Sig Alphs” as top contenders. This year, embodying all of the gains that have been made in recent years to insure security, well' being, and continued growth, the present members have kept, as the foremost thing in their minds, the necessity for future insurance that the fraternity will carry on the tradition which is now being formed—the tradition of striving to perpetuate plans for continued achievement with ever'advanc' ing goal.

This group, having finally settled down in a permanent home on Morcwood Place, are on their toes and eager to do their part in contributing to Tech's glory. Keeping in stride with this intention, the Phi Kaps have been represented in scholastic honoraries, extra-curricular activities, and athletics. No outside interest, however, can completely divert the boys’ attention from their fine new house. In these redecorated quarters some bang-up affairs have taken place during the past year. The Sadie Hawkins fever which swept the whole campus took hold of the Phi Kaps, and a memorable party was given for Lil' Abner and his best gal. No fraternity is complete without an annual pledge party, an Initiation dance, and Homecoming, at which time the Welcome sign is really out. Phi Kaps came through on all three, and brought their social season to a close with a Spring Formal and various parties during Spring Carnival. Since 1925, the year in which Tech's chapter of Phi Kappa was founded, the boys have been establishing an excellent reputation for themselves, 1939-40 proved no exception. Proud is the chapter of Jim Tumpane, a hurricane of the basketball team; Ted Pruger, active on the football team; and Herman Hennessey, another good man on the basketball team. The fraternity is also well represented by Class Officers, Student Council members, and Class Honorary members. OFFICERS Anthony Sgambati Vincent Morrissey Dale V. Gladieux William P. Haupt Clair L.

Already the Tau Delts have two legs on the scholarship cup and this year intend to obtain permanent pos' session of it. Not only do they excel in scholarship, but this year's intramuiral activities find the Tau Delts among the top ranking teams in all sports. For the greater part of the basketball race, they fought neck and neck with the winners of the league, losing out near the end of the season; however, during the season they succeeded in winning the cham' pionship in the foul shooting contests. The ping pong team once again proved its worth by winning the interfraternity championship for the second time within three years. With spring sports in the offing, the Tau Delts figure to add a few more laurels to their increasing collection. The social season of the boys from lower Forbes street has taken on a new aspect with a wider participation in events, both social, cultural, and ofF'campus, including aid to a number of organic tions in Pittsburgh. The House Formal, the seventh annual tea for freshman women, and such novelty affairs as Monte Carlo night and Tramp night, all have added immeasurably to the social standing of Tau Delta Phi.

U.'s have continued their policy of “a D. U. in everything, and every D. U. in something.” In accordance with this motto, they claim among their members the Budget Chairman of Student Council, President of the Engineering Senate, Photography Editor of the “Scottie”, Vice-President of the Y-Cabinet, Business Manager and Managing Editor of the new “Technical” staff, and representatives in every activity. Not confining themselves to activities, the Delta U's have also raised their scholarship rating a number of notches. In addition, the fraternity has been right up at the top fighting for every intramural trophy. Before the season's finish, a number of coveted awards will be on the D. U. mantlepiece. Starting with two very successful rushing dances, the social season progressed, with an occasional informal party, until the high-spot of the fall season was reached - Homecoming. The house was attractively decorated in accordance with the spirit of the celebration, and the day's festivities were topped-off by the Homecoming Dance. The climax of the social calendar was the Christmas Dance which saw the house really in the Christmas spirit. The pledge class showed that they were fully able to live up to the social standards set by their predecessors by holding a very enjoyable Pledge Dance with the theme of the dance built around a barroom (fake) in the dining room. With the spring coming on, the D. U.'s can expect to be as successful in all lines, making the “Seven Stars” shine even more brightly. Thti Row. Stovi . Light i .. Mm. Cimivtos, MitiiftON, Btc .

Behind the eight Kill After several years of migration the Delts have finally acquired a magnificent “Shelter” on More' wood Place acclaimed as one of the most beautiful houses on the campus. In keeping with their reputation as good entertainers the boys started off the year with a series of tea dances for the campus sororities. These informal affairs seem to be as popular with girls as with the boys and have proven to be the start of many new friendships. Various activities during rushing season, a cos-tume Pledge Dance, the Initiation Formal, and the football dances are only a few of the functions that made the “Delta Shelter” the place for a good time. Homecoming was a scene of feverish activity with a dance welcoming home the alumni of the fraternity. Spring Carnival brought a fitting climax to the year's successes. Although very active socially, the fraternity never forgets the scholastic side of school life as shown by the fact that the Carnegie chapter this year was awarded the Fraternity Scholarship Tro-phy. Equally well represented in all campus activities, the Delts include in their membership the editor of Tri-Publication, the Cadet Colonel of the R. O. T.

List year the National Fraternity celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding with a gala con' vention at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. This year the Gamma Iota Chapter at Carnegie will reach the twentieth year of its existence. Pre' viously, it was a local fraternity, the first organize tion of this type on the Tech campus, being founded in 1906 as the Slide Rule Club and later becoming Sigma Rho in order to preserve the original initials of the fraternity. It is the aim of the Betas to maintain as cosmO' politan a group as possible on the chapter rolls and every year men are pledged from the various depart' ments of Arts School as well as from Engineering. It is this diversity of interests that serves to make life at the Beta House both enjoyable and profitable for the boys who live there. Tkud Row ScMwtmiR. Ackuh. Butmcn. R Poatm. Ely. Wiuox. Burnt.

For this reason the members are usually referred to as the “Clyde-Streeters. They, for the most part, consist of engineering students, who are very active in campus activities, in as much as their members fill such positions as Editor of the Technical, Chairman of Spring Carnival, Treasurer of Student Council, and President of the Men's Christian Association. In athletics, Kappa Sigma is also in the lead with captain of basketball, cap-tain of hockey, and several prominent football players. Along with the social season, we find that the parties at the Kappa Sig house are known far and wide. Essence of the unusual is apparent every fall when the boys hold their annual open season party for the sorority pledges. The annual Christmas party and yearly participation in Sing and Swing are two major events that every Kappa Sig looks forward to. Spirit among the members is shown by the participation in all inter-mural sports, and numerous trophies on display in their house indicates strong cooperation, which ultimately results in success in every undertaking.

Chronologically first on the long list of social functions is the Bowery Night, with the usual crowd of paper-money gamblers, cider, apples, and doughnuts. Following rushing season, the “guys took their “gals out to South Park to a barn dance and picnic. The homecoming celebration was highlighted by their first prize'winning, “welcome' home alumni display.

Reed Taylor Sigma Nu Fraternity was founded January 1, 1869 at Virginia Military Institute shortly after the Civil War. The times were still troubled and a general feeling of restlessness pervaded the iiv stitute. Numerous organizations were formed, and out of one of these grew Sigma Nu Fraternity. The immediate cause of the organization was oppo' sition to a society known as the Blackfeet, then in undisputed sway at V. M. I. The founder of Sigma Nu was James Frank Hopkins, of Marbleville, Ark., assisted by J. W. Hopson of Memphis, Tenn., Greenfield Quarles, of Helena, Ark., and J. M. Riley of St. Louis. This year, after an absence of four years, the Sigma Nu Fraternity, has again returned to the Carnegie Campus. Recreated by old Carnegie Sigma Nu's, Sigma Nu transfers from other cob leges, and unaffiliated men at Tech, the new Car' negie Chapter shows every indication of being a full grown fraternity. With a large amount of capital on hand, they expect to have a new house at the beginning of rushing season for next year, and they will probably once again be up among the leaders. Top R: . iVvMi.

This year has been a particularly social one for the Alpha Kaps. Rushing events culminated in the pledging of twelve new members, and then a party was held at the Carnegie Union for the men who helped the actives rush. Showers were given to honor three of their newly-wed sisters, and a Christmas Party followed soon in honor of St. Nicholas. The Women's Guild Dance gave ample opportunity for the Alpha Kaps to show their ingenuity in a “humanette” puppet show—which they ably did. At the tea on March 12 a loan fund was announced which would aid the alumnae in establishing a scholarship given yearly to one of the sisters. Their alumnae, incidentally, estab' lished a precedent this year by sponsoring an exhibit of the work they had done since they had graduated, in the Hewlitt Room of Fine Arts Building. And the most important of all are those two occasions—the spring formal at Longue Vue Country Club and the several weeks spent at Van Buren Point on Lake Erie in the summer. Besides planning and attending all of these social events, the Alpha Kaps find time to engage in numerous school activities. Among their members are two active Cwens, three Mortar Boards, secre' tary of Sigma Alpha Iota, two Junior House Presi' dents, and president of Women's Guild, Junior Editor of the Scottie, and Vice President of Kappa Chi Kappa.

Many of the girls are active in school activities, and all the girls are active socially. For proof of this, one needs only to look at the list of their activities for the year. Among the outstanding events this last year were the Spring Formal and the Winter Formal. Two others not to be overlooked are the Pledge Party and the Guild Dance, where the Beta Pi's were represented by a very successful ice'cream booth. Every day the girls get together over at the Beanery where they have a table which seems to be reserved especially for them, since they alway gather there at noon to eat their lunches and later hold informal ice'cream cone parties. When summer comes, it is the custom of the Beta Pi's to get to' gether several times and the high light of the sum' mer is the houseparty which the sorority holds at Lake Erie. This year eight Freshman girls were taken into the sorority. Of course two of the first people they met were the sorority sponsors Polly Rowles Snyder and Miss Winnie Denison, who enter into all the activities with the girls. Each year the girls have a banquet for the mem' bers who are graduating. They realize they will miss those who are leaving, but they know that they will not lose contact with them, because the members of the alumnae always show their interest in sorority affairs.

[ 215 1 feeta Jlamb a OFFICERS Vera Doherty Jane Hathaway Esther Amsler Mary Slocum To the Beetles goes the distinctive right to be called one of the most active sororities on the campus. In this, the year of the sorority’s twentieth birthday, membership grew to include twenty-four actives and thirteen pledges, which proves the success of Beetle rushing last fall. Highlights of the season were the rushing tea held at Edith Knorr's home, the formal dance at the Twentieth Century Club, and the Sunday night supper held at President Vera Doherty's home. Pledging then was on November 1 with a welcome dinner following at the Ruskin Apartments. One of the sponsors, Mrs. Robert Riester, performed her annual business as Santa Claus at the Christmas Party in the Union. Following Christmas vacation the sorority was entertained at Mrs. Riester's farm, at a dinner party at Marjorie Maple's, and at a dance in the Roosevelt Hotel. President Vera Doherty was hostess at three successful teas during the year, one for the sorority's active alumnae group; another for the Kappa Phi Delta sorority; and another for the Delta Tau Delta fraternity—the first of its kind at Tech. The climax of the year came when Beta Tau Lambda's junior candidate, Miss Patty Haislip, in open competition with representatives from each of the other six sororities, was crowned the first Snow Queen at the Junior Prom. At this point the Beetles are knee-deep in plans for the annual two-weeks' vacation together, with their motto -“Live In a Mob and Love It. Top Rw HcnA-f n. Bennett. Haislip, Ackernun. HijkK.

Everyone knows of their participation in and hearty support of all campus activities, and the fact that the Intersorority Scholarship cup has been their proud possession for the past three years testifies to their intelligence. This idea of a cup given each year for the sorority with the highest scholarship record was originated by the sorority twelve years ago. The group donated the trophy for the competition. As a theme song during the rushing season a Tri'Gam trio known as the “Three G's” introduced a clever parody on “Shadrach which has been in demand ever since. Eleven pledges were web corned into the sorority at the close of the rushing season at a buffet supper at Jean Whitney's home in Fox Chapel. The pledges joined hands and forces in a successful attempt to entertain the members. This was an informal party, and to coin a phrase -“a good time was had by all. The officers receive the active help of the mem' bers and together they continue their ideals of encouraging the girls in all undertakings, of pro' moting friendship, and of furthering cooperation in the sorority and on campus. As the year ends, the Gamma's look back and feel that they have done their job well and have had a very successful season. Qatyvma Qamtna Qamma OFFICERS Ci.aka Louise McLanp.

It has been very active this season under the able leader ship of its President, Mary Cogswell. The Alpha pledges experienced a real pledge period. Among other things, they collected the autographs of three professors on a lemon. But all was forgiven and forgotten when they held their formal initiation followed by a beautiful dance on December 15, at the Webster Hall Hotel. Every month they have held a party of a different type. Typical of the season, November brought a hay ride. In January, it was something unique a “June in January” dance—and a “Sweetheart Dance” to celebrate Leap Year marked February. They held a “Baby Party” in March, which was claimed to have been their most successful party. The Alphas gave their Spring Formal at Longue Vue Country Club in April. A Mother’s Day Tea and a Senior Supper at which the sorority bid farewell to the graduating girls, were given in May. The Alphas have many senior members who have been quite prominent. Mary Cogswell, the presi' dent of the sorority, was the “Girl of the Month” in the Scottie. Helen Ford and Aida Squitieri, who is president of the senior class in Margaret Morrison have been in the Profile Column in the Tartan. In addition to these the Alphas are proud of their members of the other classes, who have brought much honor to the sorority in campus activities and scholastic achievement. Top Rcw. MeWinnf .

Nearly fifty members of the Gamma Phi Sigma sorority respond to these words, and their activities have been prominent on campus for a number of years. Last fall the Gammas held a rough” initiation in a cabin in the woods where the pledges were not so much hazed as they were introduced to the friend' ship and sisterhood characteristic of the group. When the winter months set minds to thinking about winter sports, a group of the girls tied skis on the side of a car, piled in with skates and snow' suits, and drove to Kane, Pa., for an invigorating weekend in the Swiss Alps of the state. Numer' ous coke parties in the Union, buffet suppers, and other gatherings are found in their social calendar, and all campus functions are supported by a large percentage of Gammas. In the summer a cottage at Van Buren Point houses the gang, where there are more sleepless nights, marathons in bridge, and knitting than anything else. The Peanut Sister idea is a novel custom. Each girl has the name of another member to which she sends a Christmas and birthday gift and other greetings throughout the year. And these peanut sisters remain secret so that many mysterious packages are constantly changing hands. The group is headed by Jane Purse, President and Flossie Craighead, Vice Presi' dent. These girls with the active help of the other capable officers conduct the activities catering to the interests of the sorority.

As always they are holding a high place among the sororities under their capable president, Marian Artman, and her aids, Jean Meyer, Phyllis Hut' cheson, and Eva Rasch. This year the Kappas were the girls who added color to the campus with their red hunting'Caps. If what the girls were hunting was a good time, they were sure to find it, for Ann Hinkley, Social Chairman, was always ready with some clever suggestion. After rushing, the social season opened with a dinner party for the pledges at the home of Helen Crumpton. Mr. and Mrs. Parisi, the Kappa spon' sors, gave a tea for the officers and pledges shortly before the end of pledge period. Formal Initiation was a beautifully dignified ceremony held at the Pittsburgh Athletic Association. A Christmas buffet supper, at which all the girls exchanged funny little gifts, was attended by the actives and some of the alumnae. A midnight spaghetti supper was the February event, and in March the pledges entertained the other girls. Plans for Greek Sing and Swing and the Spring Formal occupied much of their time and thoughts. The Kappa booth at the Guild Dance did a rushing business, for it gave the boys an opportunity to hit the “bull's eye with a Kappa. Already, the girls are thinking about the week to be spent this summer at a cottage on Lake Erie as soon as school is out. TKi'i Rnr. RiTtxiAi'GH. Dv� Mtu. Brocmh. Doutxitt. Caiioci. Worn. Riu.

Those days of ' 76 were not the most comfortable. People lost their wealth, the easy tenor of their former days, even their lives. Put from those days came the reestablishment of man’s inherent right to his own liberty, his own possessions, the right to protection against serfdom to the State. t hese days oj 1940 are not the most comfortable.
