THE 1912 THISTLE JESSIE YUILLE YON A friend of all the students and an unfailing source of sound and steadying advice, Mrs. Yon has deservedly won her place on this campus. It is a comfort to the Adminis-tration as well as to the students to know that we have such a broad-minded and human character in a position to assist in establishing policies at school. Her cheerful manner and pleasant greeting at school functions typify her attitude and that of the students toward her. All is hushed, no more they startle, now we hear sweet College is but an eventful part of our lives almost insignificant in years but gigantic in memories and experiences. Time is gone forever; memories are easily recalled. In years to come, perhaps a glance through this book will revive long nights before a quiz and glorious events after classes.

Whether he be meeting with a small group of students or meeting with the heads of the student government, Dr. Doherty is ever anxious to give his assistance. One of the first on campus in the morning, and usually the last to leave at night, Dr. Doherty truly exemplifies the spirit of Andrew Carnegie. To develop closer student unity, Doctor Doherty meets with the representatives of the various councils and committees on campus. Once every month at this dinner meeting, new ideas and campus policies are discussed. Dr. Doherty is a staunch believer in student government, and is ever confident of the abilities of his students.

Marguerite Spilman 25 Charles Watkins Director, Margaret Morrison Carnegie College Comprising approximately sixty per cent of the total enrollment of Carnegie Institute of Tech' nology, the College of Engineering stands as the bulwark of the school. In this age of specialized production and intensive research, its job to pro' vide the human motivating power for industry is of vital importance. The three major divisions of the College, the engineering, science, and printing departments, are capable of training men for every phase of technical and scientific endeavor. The engineering division consists of six basic departments: Chemical, Civil, Metallurgical, Electrical, Mechanical, and Manage' ment Engineering. Each of these departments presents a fundamental training in the first two years followed by an intensive of subjects peculiar to the respective departments in the third and fourth years. The science departments—Physics, Chenv istry, and Mathematics and the Printing Depart' ment are modeled along the same general lines in their respective fields of learning. The entire college made up of these ten units—is integrated into a smoothly operated educational machine by its Director Doctor Webster Newton Jones. During the past decade Dr. Jones has brought Carnegie Tech to be regarded as one of the foremost engineering schools in the country and whose Machine Shop The Wind Tunnel Qualitative Analysis Electrical Lib w m Engineering Hall graduates are second to none in technical training and ability. Nor is the technical aspect the only one to be emphasized. To broaden the engineer's outlook and to enable him to more readily compre' hend problems of social significance, the College of Engineering instituted the Social Relations Program which [has accomplished this purpose through courses in economics, human relations, and the characteristics of society. Such has the College of Engineering come to be. The repercussions of modern war are, however, far reaching, and those of World War II have invaded this intellectual sanctity and transferred it to the assembly line. The normal college course may be completed in four years, but due to the terrific expansion of war production, the industrial world is clamoring for more and more engineers and demanding them immediately. To meet this de mand, the normal schedule has been expedited. By means of eliminating final examinations and the Easter vacation, the class of '42 will graduate a month ahead of schedule. In addition, the class of '43 has adopted the trimester plan and will attend school throughout the summer. Thus it will be able to graduate in December of 1942—five months ahead of schedule and join in this, the greatest of national efforts. Polishing a Specimen 27 I nr hat Carnegie Tech is an alive and growing x institution is easily seen by walking through the halls where on all sides may be found evidence of Carnegie's part in making progress with and for the industrial world. Throughout its close contacts with key men in vital indus tries, Tech not only keeps informed and informs, but maintains a close working harmony which has kept a high placement record throughout the years. Machine tool manu' facturers and others have generously supported the school; without their cooperation in bring' ing us lecturers acquainted with field problems and contributing equipment, we would indeed have difficulty in keeping pace with the world. Chemical Engineering Lab 28 Pipe Fitting THEY l!() THE IK IVY IS T Ouch is the task of the Engineering College. u While only a young college in this young nation. Tech has won recognition and acclaim from all parts of the country as a leader. With the background of one war which it success' fully weathered, Carnegie now faces another major crisis. Although the nation has already drawn heavily from our numbers in faculty and students, we can expect without assuming a pessimistic attitude that more men will have to leave before the battle is won. But we have faith—faith and a courage in the knowledge that our policies will be established by men interested in Carnegie, not in insane world' conquering dreams. Their interest in Tech is not bound solely by Schenley, or Pittsburgh, or the United States. Their's is a rational and workable plan for the betterment of mankind throughout the world by education. Students remaining at Tech during the days of wide'seale draft campaigns are convinced that what Carnegie has to offer will equip them to lead men, to direct industry toward war effort, and to serve their country better than would be possible through hasty enlistments. With the counsel of an experienced faculty to rely upon, the future holds no terrors. Rolling Mill Materials Testing BurcharJ. Hlattcr, Pitkin, Clec ton. Sterling Glenn U. Cleeton Head of Department of Printing A mid the clatter of machines and rumble of presses on the first floor of Industries Hall work a group of students who are unique among others studying printing. They are the only printing students in the United States who will obtain, upon graduation, a Bachelor of Science degree. This degree qualifies the graduate for a position in industrial printing which would formerly have required years of apprenticeship. The objective of the Printing Department is to prepare men for professional service in the graphic arts industries. Professional opportunity comes in the solution of prob' lems of design, production, marketing, and management. Consequently, in the course of study that is presented, the technical subjects studied relate to those four phases of the graphic arts. In addition, the students take sub' jects covering such underlying principles as civics, economics, and psychology. Since professional emphasis, rather than the vocational development of skill, is the main purpose of the depart' mental instruction, printing and related industries pro' vide numerous opportunities for careers for these college trained men. A recent survey among Carnegie Institute of Technology printing graduates shows that since 1913, when the department was first organized, ninety-two per cent are still engaged in printing or related fields. 30 Trcxlcr, Guild, Wallace, Coleman ■v yTANAGBMENT Engineers must not only be a combine tion of Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Metallurgical, and Chemical Engineers all rolled into one, hut must also be thoroughly versed in finance, sales play, cost account' ing, and numerous other subjects vital to the smooth and economical operation of any plant or factory. These Management Engineers are the men who will control the processes of industry. The innumerable details and small factors in the running of any plant require a vast administrative organization to make certain that all goes well all the time. From pianos to peanuts, products of all sorts and varieties cannot be offered to the market without the planning and supervision which the Management Engineer provides. Vital to the defense of our nation, it is the job of the Management Engineer to see that our national production is stepped up to full capacity, and that waste is reduced to a minimum. As these men leave Carnegie, we can be assured that they are doing so equipped in the best possible manner, and that they will become valuable and successful mem' bers of society. E I T Lawrence R. Guild Head of Department of Management Engineering 31 Warren L. McCabe Head of Department of Chemical Engineering DEPARTMENT (IF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING T Tnder the pressure of war Chemical Engineering at Tech has grown rapidly in order to send trained men into the expanding war industries. The sudden growth of chemical industry and the needs of industries for men trained in Chemical Engineering have resulted in a marked increase in the enrollment of this department at Carnegie Tech. The course in the Chemical Engineering Department combines a new curriculum with new methods of teach' ing, in order to keep pace with the ever-changing techniques of today. The course entails fitting the men for jobs by giving them a solid groundwork in chemistry, physics, mechanics, and mathematics, preparing them for important positions in the advancement of our industry. The majority of the Chemical Engineering Department graduates are employed in process industries, in which they apply chemical treatment to raw materials to manufacture new products which will satisfy industrial demands. 32 McCabe, Bcrl, Mourad, York, Writ . ' Phe Chemistry Department is now ready to produce 1 another group of young chemists. These students, who have studied for four years the fundamental engine eering principles besides all the phases of chemistry, are now ready to enter into the evergrowing field which they have chosen as their life's work. Today there is a greater demand than ever before for trained chemists in the armed forces of our country and in industry. Some of the Tech graduates will enter the field of research, which is becoming more and more important in our everyday life. Not only do these research chemists provide for us an enormous number of household articles which help greatly in making our lives more pleasant and enjoyable, but now especially they are playing a vital part in industry and the war. Great strides have been made in chemical warfare which will be invaluable to our nation in the present war. The chemists who graduate from Carnegie Tech this year will continue to contribute to the advancement of chemistry in all its phases so that it may help to bring about our ultimate victory. J. C.

As the world has become constantly more industrialized, metallurgy has been playing an increasingly important role. This year thirty seniors will leave Carnegie as Metallurgical Engineers. Because of Tech's advantageous location in an industrial area, the students have made many inspection tours of plants. This year most of the seniors attended the annual Metallurgical Convention in Philadelphia, where they heard Dr. R. F. Mehl, head of the department, deliver the Campbell Memorial lecture. Each senior has written a thesis during his final year based on individual research, with subjects as “Microradiography and the “Effect of Annealing on the Fatigue Strength of Steel. Besides their regular courses, many students have done outside work assisting in the Metals Research Labora-tory. At the Open House Exhibition, they set up micro-scopes showing views of complicated machinery of the department, besides preparing many special projects. With the vast store of knowledge acquired from the classroom and from practical experience and research, this group solves new problems in their work. 34 2nd row; Lamb, Pattcr.«on, Poctcr, Miner, Work.

Instruction has been given them in direct and alternating current machinery, and communication and transmission circuits, as well as in the fundamental principles of this vast profession. It must he remembered that electrical engineering has not always been the science it is today. Until late in the nineteenth century, very little was known about electricity. However, between 1880 and 1890 professors in physics became increasingly interested in this new and fascinating held. They saw the many possibilities of electromagnetism applied to useful machines. As a result, subjects relating to the theory and application of electricity and magnetism appeared in the physics departments of many universities. Later a regular electrical engineering course evolved. Electrical engineering has developed rapidly until today it occupies an important position in American industry. Today more than ever, we feel the need for electrical engineers. The growing field of radio and television and the new developments in microwave applications call for more and more men to serve as trained technicians. The men who graduate from Carnegie this spring will help to fill that need. 35 William R. Work Head of Department of Electrical Engineering Francis M. McCullough Head of Department of Cm I Engineering DEPART ME IT OF H 01 E EIII 0 rT 'HE importance of civil engineering is much greater A than the average person imagines. From stories we get the impression that a civil engineer spends his life in totally inaccessible places building bridges over canyons and rivers—risking his life romantically. To be sure, a civil engineer can and does build bridges, but there are many other jobs he performs which are just as important and much closer to us. He makes it possible for us to have high skyscrapers by studying stresses and strains and building materials so that these will stand firm and safe. The building of present-day steel and concrete structures is an engineering as well as an architectural job. When a civil engineer builds a bridge, he really doesn't want it to be unused, and so he builds a road up to it. Since the United States has an army on wheels, the military importance of good roads is obvious, and accordingly the need for well-trained road engineers. In the field of hydraulics the civil engineer studies dam construction, fluid flow, and hydraulic machinery. In the Pittsburgh area the problem of flood control requires engineers with knowledge of these subjects. Evans, McCullough. Hamilton, Muhlcnbruch, DunnclU. Schmidt, Thomas. 36 'The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of 1 the oldest and largest departments in the school. One third of the engineering students are enrolled in this department. It offers three options: General, Aero-nautical, and Plumbing and Heating. The general option gives fundamental training neces-sary for all the various occupations comprising the field of Mechanical Engineering. Special emphasis is paid to the subjects of thermodynamics, machine design, kinematics, and special engineering problems to be solved by the individual student. The Aeronautical option omits some of the more general subjects and substitutes in their place such studies as airplane design and theory of flight. The Plumbing and Heating option deals with the combustion of fuels, heat transfer, and refrigeration. The option adequately prepares a student for the rapidly increasing field of ventilating, air conditioning, and plumbing. The scope of the Department of Mechanical Engineering is so broad that its graduates have an excellent chance of finding work in any of the principal industries. W. C. Thinks Head of Department of Mechanical Engineering DEPARTMENT (IF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 37 Andrew, Estop, Savko, Olson. Trinks. Pm well. Saylor, Henry. Sacks. Neely, Smith. Whitman. Rosenbach.

It is not merely an abstract science, as it appears to so many people, but it has a very important bearing upon all sciences. It is mathematics that tells the engineer whether his bridge will stand the strains brought to bear on it, or whether a power line will withstand heavy wind and snowstorms. Statistics as compiled by the mathematician are often times invaluable to the social as well as the physical scientist. So those students who major in mathematics are not only studying an abstract science, but one which is of great importance in many phases of our life. The students in the class of '42 are now prepared to enter any of the great number of fields of mathematics open to them. Some will become teachers, others statisticians —all of them will be experts in their line because of their thorough training and experience. They will help greatly in increasing the progress which mathematics has made in all the sciences. 38 2nd row: Princ, Borcman, Mich cncr, Estcrnun, Keyes i« row: Pugh. ilkovits, Koehler T)hvsics, one of the most important of the engineering courses, treats of so many subjects that it provides an excellent basis for any branch of engineering; students majoring in physics have broad backgrounds for almost any field of science. Since Professor Hower's untimely death, the Physics Department has been operating under the co-ordination of Professors Pugh and Prine. Physics students have received extensive training in the fundamental sciences, as well as in the advanced subjects of the course. This training has prepared them to enter many fields, among them being research and teaching. Some of the students have done special problems and have undertaken projects especially interesting to them. No physics curricula are really complete without post-graduate courses, in which the physicist may pursue at his leisure the finer and more intricate features of his elected profession. For instance, in the new field of micro-waves the graduating physicist will find opportunity to use his knowledge to the fullest. These rapidly oscillating waves are being used for radio beams and for military instruments, and rush-work is going on to discover more about their nature and their applications. Harry Sloan Howbr Head of Department of Physics 39 yf rs. Andrew Carnegie once had a brain child. Now a reality, no longer a dream, the College of Fine Arts lives up to her ex-pectations. This prominent and architecture ally beautiful building is right in the center of campus activity. In the niches on the front facade of the Fine Arts building are written the titles of the courses housed within: Painting, Sculpture, Drama, Architecture, and Music. All five of these subjects are taught under one roof. Very few other colleges can claim this. The mosaics on the floors of the first story of the building are ground plans of St. Peter's Cathedral in Rome, the Parthenon, the Cathed- ral Chartres, and the Temple of Edfu. The candelabra at the end of each corridor are imitations of the Torcheres in the Park of Versailles, France. On the highly arched ceiling is a painting of St. Peter's Cathedral, surrounded by a scheme of decorations by James Monroe Hewlett. The Fine Arts building was constructed with the idea that from its beauty the students would learn the degree of excellence which art may attain. With this in mind one can easily understand the large enrollment and the competition an applicant encounters when he desires to enter this branch of Carnegie Tech. 41 Wilfred A. Readio Head of Department of Painting and Design DEPARTMENT OF PAINTING DESIGN AND SCULPTURE ' Phe new student receives a variety of impressions A during his first few days in the Painting and Design Department. The incoming freshmen wonder at the eccentric looking students who rush around in paint' smeared smocks and slacks. They wonder at the in-formal unschooMike classes and the gay camaraderie among the students. And when they see the finely finished works of these upperclassmen, which hang in the long passageway, they wonder if they can ever attain the {inequality craftsmanship of these paintings and drawings. The Sculpture Department is headed by Professor Ellis. Huge casts of famous statues, half'finished plaster heads, dirty windows, fine grey dust covering everything, and the smell of clay, go to make up the first impressions a newcomer receives in the mud'room as the sculpture room is called. Strange as the freshmen feel at first in both these departments, it takes only a few weeks until they feel at home. Hilton, Hyde. Edmonds, Mur-dock, Squitieri, Mullcr-Munk, MacGilvary. Gwathmey.

And how many times have you seen them in their paint-smeared overalls, stealing a moment from “crew” to slip into the Beanery for their daily ice cream cones? I know you've seen at least one of them on campus, muttering madly as he walks along. There is nothing wrong with him — he is just memorizing his lines for one of the plays of the department. Their fine productions give evidence of hours of hard labor spent by the students. The first show of this season was a good old-fashioned melodrama, D'Ennery's The Two Orphans. Next on the program was a play by Thomas Job, Hew England Picnic, a contemporary comedy directed by Mr. Job. Dangerous Comer, Ladies in Retirement, Ah, Wilderness, and The Importance of Being Earnest followed. The last plays of the season were the annual Shakespearean production, this year Winter's Tale; and a play written by one of the students. We take off our hats to these students, who turn in consistently good performances, play after play, graduating fine actors with a degree from the most famed undergraduate drama school in the country.

DEPARTMENT OF ARC HITE (TIRE William F. Hitchens Head of Department of Architecture 'T'he school year 1941-1942 is a year the Department of A Architecture will remember for a long time, for it was in November that, with the help of the entire Art School faculty, it played host to the twenty-fifth national convention of Scarab, the professional fraternity of architecture. Anyone who knows the architects can vouch that the affair was a credit to the school. The department and Scarab, with the expert help of the sororities, carried through a four-day “clambake”. For those interested, the “visiting firemen” were so impressed by Carnegie and its society that rumors of a mass transfer to C. I. T. were beginning to gain momentum. The convention was the climax of a successful 1941 and the incentive to carry through a more successful 1942. Realization of these hopes were seen in the installation of a camouflage course for Arts School men that has taken hold of the students' interest. The students have shown their willingness to co-operate with the war efforts by going all out on civilian defense. The faculty and the students working in unison make the department an interesting, alert group of Techites. 44 Frey, Rauterku . Keeble, Dorian, Pearson. Janson, Seaman, O'Brien, Canfield, Morrow, Lawton. The Music Department of Carnegie Tech can boast of x students whose versatility and finesse enable them to meet any situation capably. Graduates of the Music Department are prepared to teach in the public schools or to perform on the concert stage. Students who take the public'school course learn to play many instruments other than the one which is their major. Instrumental instruction is given to all vocal majors, while each instrumental major learns to play a number of instru-ments. Many educational subjects, manning them to be expert teachers as well as musicians, are included in their curricula. The Carnegie Tech Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Dr. Vick O'Brien, is a source of valuable experience to all members of the Music Department. With frequent radio programs and concerts, the students are enabled to display their ability to the school and also to meet the same situations that they will meet after graduation. All members of the Music Department are encouraged to join the Glee Clubs and Chapel Choir. This year several concerts have been given which were enjoyed by all the students and faculty who attended. 45 J. Vick O'Brien Head of Department of Music ■v MARGARET Morrison is the women's college of Carnegie Institute of Technology. •Mt offers the advantage of a liberal arts education in addition to thorough technical training in any of several fields. A student may choose her course from various de' partments: General Science, Costume Economics, Nurse's Training, Household Economics, PreTibrary, or Social Work. The college itself is a place of busy activity. Here, Science students working in the labs. Secretaries feverishly striving to increase their typing speed. Costume Ecs modeling their own creations, and everyone in general mourning over exams, are common sights. Relaxing in Rec Hall, hastily exchanging gossip between classes, and cramming in Study Hall are all part of a student’s daily routine. 46 RET MORRISON CARNEGIE COLLEGE Although, out of necessity, she works hard, the life of a Maggie Murph is not all work and no play. She somehow finds time to knit for Britain, cheer the football team, or learn how to make a tourniquet for Red Cross. She may cut classes to sit on the lawn in the spring, or spend her lecture periods gazing out of the window at the ROTC boys marching on the cut, but she realizes that there are exams to be passed and studying to be done if she wishes to be graduated. Now more than ever, she realizes her place in the world and she knows that upon her graduation she will be able to fill this place. She will have a thorough technical background and many profitable expert ences and pleasant memories of days at Carnegie.

Glendon Head of Department of Household Economics rT'HE departments of Home and Costume Economics A are busy preparing young women to keep the people of America well fed and well clothed. This requires more than learning how long to boil an egg or how to operate a sewing machine. The people of America must wear clothes that hang together and not rip at the seams when a person takes a deep breath. And so the girls learn how to make clothes that fit. And they also learn the magic that makes all women beautiful—how to design clothes that make a tall girl look down'to-earth and a short girl look grown up; how to make a dumpy girl look smooth and an angular girl look graceful. But for some reason, people must eat a pleasant habit of centuries that just won't be broken. And therefore the girls are taught how to make even spinach taste delicious. People must have their vitamins all of them from A to Z, so the girls find out how to sneak them in while no one is looking. They learn to make the kind of vittles that will keep you alive and kicking, and cure you if you have been sick. A boy will find that one of these girls will keep him in the pink—just like an Olympic athlete. 48 Crantu, I'.itterson, Ely. Erlick, Hayes, Chanun, Winchester. hhhe department of Secretarial Studies is now the largest in Margaret Morrison. Because of the in' crease in enrollment, the department, once occupying only the third tloor, has so expanded that it now includes the fourth floor as well. It is obvious from the type of positions held by grad' uates of the department that this course offers a back' ground for almost any field. Among the interesting fields entered by some of the graduates of this department are civil service, advertising, insurance, and such posi' tions as legal and medical secretaries, airline secretaries, and secretaries to ministers and authors. Some are secretaries in scientific research laboratories such as Mellon Institute, or in engineering positions. Thus, the well'trained secretary has the choice of many fields and can enter the one that she finds most interesting. The Secretarial Department is doing its bit to help defense. Many of the girls are doing part'time work typing for the defense courses on our campus. This practical experience along with their training makes it easier for the girls to adapt themselves to their positions after graduation. 49 Edith M. Winchester Head of Department of Secretarial Studies Harold L. La no Head of Department of General Science DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL STUDIES ■pvEN in this national emergency America needs writers and librarians, and they ■ “' especially require scientists and nurses. These apparently dissimilar occupa-tions are taught by Dr. McLeod, and by Dr. Lang and his staff. For girls interested primarily in writing there is the Secretarial Minor option, which includes shorthand and type writing but not all the technical courses of the Secretarial Department. Of a more general nature is the PreTibrary course for girls who wish to enter the Library school. However, the course is modified to meet the needs of students who have reasonable plans of study which do not happen to fit in with the other more standardized courses in the school. The Library Minor is Carnegie's nearest approach to a Liberal Arts course. Through this course a girl may major in mathematics or languages, if she desires. Majors in history or English with intended graduate work at other colleges are possible. Those girls who are mainly interested in how and what things happen study chemistry, biology, physics, and mathematics, and are graduated from the General Science Department. They are given thorough ground-work for work in chemical analysis, biological research, or a medical course. 50 Mary C. Burnett Head of Department of Social Wor DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WORK oocial work is more or less the art of helping people to help themselves. The main point of this course is that it is not a professional training course, but merely a preparation for professional training in the practical job of helping people to adjust themselves to their social situations. The Margaret Morrison Social Work Department offers courses in psychology, economics, and applied group work courses such as handcrafts, games and dances, organized camping, and story-telling. The students of the department put their training to actual test, doing volunteer work in settlement houses and in scout troops. The department tries to place all of its girls who are interested in summer camp jobs. In addition to the four year undergraduate course leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, the Social Work Department offers a two-year graduate course leading to a Master of Social Work degree. In the first year of the graduate course, students study case and group work in theory and field. In the second year they specialize in one of the fields. Additional work includes a research project done in conjunction with the Social Research Bureau of the Federation of Social Agencies. 51 The Carnegie Union TIIE S T11IIEIT COUNCIL Tuesday Evening OFFICERS Charles C.

There is a committee for each important activity in Council; each of these committees has a chairman, who makes a report at each meeting. The Council sponsors dances, the contact' ing and hiring of orchestras for various alb school dances; and petitions for the use of Thistle Hall arc handled by the Social Chair' man. Governing the various school publi' cations, the Publications Committee chairman introduces measures concerning their welfare. The Orientation Committee has charge of Freshman Orientation. It not only concerns itself with making and giving the Orientation Test, but also has charge of purchasing arm bands, hats, and socks used in the Freshman Regulations program at the beginning of the school year. The Points and Keys Committee functions in totaling points for the Class Honoraries and chooses the men composing these organizations by the Points System. The Elections Committee takes care of all elections held, whether they are for election of members of Council or to decide what orchestra the student body wants for Spring Carnival. The meetings are conducted by Parliamen' tary Law, and each member, as well as the spectators, has a right to speak. At times there are heated and interesting debates, but a policy is always agreed on without difficulty and arguments are ironed out. Perhaps it is this feeling of fellowship which makes Carnegie Student Council such an outstanding organiza' tion. 55 i senior Abkamovjts d'Ambrosi Arnold Beer Bonn Bic Bo� ak Acl Andelia Baker Beckman Berg on Blfnko Boyle Alexander, F.

Five qualifications are considered particularly expressive of the ideal engineering student: moral character, scholastic ability, broad interests, personality, and creative ability. Both the faculty and Theta Tau have reflected their wisdom this year by their choice of John Terrance O'Brien as the “Most Promising Senior Engineer.” His campus record offers the best testimony. Thus this award continues to bear its reputation for demanding excellence. 67 Allison Bacmeister Barber Bernard Cavitt Challener Courtney Cunningham DAUCMrRTY DeSimone Dible Eilers Einhorn Ellen Evans Forbis Frick Fulton Gano Gaylord Grote Gruse Harper Hill Hirscm Jacobs Johnson Katsilas Allison, Erminib M., Windyghoul; Arch.; AK'F; AXA; Cwens; Mortar Baird; Junior House President • • Bacmeister, Margaret E., Minneapolis.

Dobbs Staff Sergeant rT-'HE year 1941 marked the inception of selective military service in the United States. This is the first time in the history of the nation that such a measure has been adopted in peace time. The United States is now engaged in a great conflict; it needs men, experienced men, trained men. Our army wants engineers civil engiiv eers, metallurgists, chemists, and physicists and it wants them now! Here at Carnegie Institute of Technology, as at other big engiiv eering colleges, the army can find men who not only have majored in one of the above studies, but who have been able, because of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, to pursue a little military science with their other studies. This year, for the first time since 1918, the R.O.T.C. has snapped to attention with determination and an objective in mind. The classes are places of vital learning now, know' ledge upon which a man's life may depend. Summer Camp Four on a Match COMPANY A Patrick, Rudolph—Capt., K KISER.

Wechsler—Capt. — AND IN CAMP IN THE FIELD Up until the present time, the advanced corps had spent six weeks at camp during the summer session between the junior and the senior years. This period provided one of the highlights of the R.O.T.C. man's career. At camp the fellows applied their theoretical knowledge to practical problems, such as con' structing, repairing, and maintaining bridges; building temporary bridges; or constructing and operating signal communications. Since, in accordance with the administra tion's present policy, the juniors will attend classes during the summer months, some other arrangements must be made for these former weeks at camp after graduation; but if the need becomes urgent enough for men, probably even this plan will be put aside for the duration. Another one of the feature events for the R.O.T.C. which has had to be cancelled is the annual review on the night of Tech's annual “Open house”. However, this has not stopped the fellows from drilling with a somewhat grim determination which exceeds any prepara tions for the exhibition nights of past years. However, under the leadership of Col. Kuentz and Col. Robert Beck, the Reserve Officer's Training Corps will march for the president's review, putting enough snap into this review to make up for the missing exhibL tion night. •pvBN before Pe«irl Harbor, freshmen felt the - urgency of the defense situation last Sep' tember when they found that no slide rules were available for them. Since then, countless activities have been added and altered to fit into our new, and we hope temporary, way of life. Constant changes in school schedules kept the students in a daze. Vacations never came when expected—in fact, they never came at all after the second semester. Among the first of the activities inaugurated with a really practical value was the series of first'aid classes for all students. Represented in these training groups were entire fraternities, sororities, and other worthwhile organizations in which members were eager to do their bit. Girls and women around campus have been knitting socks and sweaters with the help of Mrs. Watkins. Girls of the Costume Econonv ics classes have been cutting bandages and preparing them for Red Cross distribution. The actual curriculum at Tech was changed to include a physical fitness program for the men, all of whom were required to take at least three hours of supervised exercise. Be' On The Drill Field 82 cause the ROTC students do not drill during the winter, a plan was followed by which two hikes through Schenley Park were taken each week, as well as a one-hour swimming instruc-tion period. Lifesaving courses were given special emphasis to train men for instructors, as well as for actual service. The evening school greatly broadened its scope to offer courses to the many men who wished to acquire special training and skills, and to occupy vacated and newly created posi-tions. Courses were offered for the Arts school men in camouflage. Saturday labs were well attended by these students who were instructed by members of the faculty and out' side experts who offered their time voluntarily. Of course, the social life of all the students was affected by the defense speed-ups, and many dances were totally eliminated. Dance and recreational budgets were appreciably cut to lie in accord with general public opinion and action. For the first time in many years, Spring Carnival was robbed of its Scotch and Soda show. The buggy races and canoe tilting were eliminated, and the orchestra budget was barely enough to secure Tommy Tucker and Russ Morgan. Early graduation of seniors; summer classes for juniors; and a crammed schedule for the coming year, which would made the mid-year vacation fall at Christmas, have made us all feel the need of men in this war. The school administration is to be commended for its excellent comprehensive defense plan. 84 ALUMNI FEDERATION James Howard Kindlebcrger XTewest activity of the Alumni Federation is the annual celebration of Carnegie Day. Of course, this event, observing the birthday of our founder, has been commemorated every November twenty-fifth since nineteen-thirteen. But it was only two years ago that the local alumni, acting upon the suggestion of President Doherty, started the custom of having a prominent graduate as principal speaker. In 1940 the guest was Mr. Charles E. Wilson, president of General Motors, who gave an interesting and inspiring talk. After the program Mr. Wilson was entertained at luncheon in the local chapter house of his fraternity. In the evening the Pittsburgh Men's Clan gave a dinner in his honor at the Hotel Schenley, where three hundred alumni and guests heard his address on “Our Defense Material. At this year’s Carnegie Day celebration Mr. James Howard Kindleberger, president of North American Aviation, spoke with a great deal of wit and understanding on the future of college students in the war-torn world of today. The students received his speech enthusiastically and found his remarks very helpful. A dinner in his honor was held at the University Club, and his address on “Aviation and National Defense” was broadcast. Both students and faculty felt that these speakers have been fine additions to the usual Carnegie Day ritual and hope that the Alumni Federation will continue its plan of inviting such outstanding alumni to help celebrate the event. Dear to the hearts of most Carnegie graduates is the Steffen Scholarship Fund, a memorial to Tech’s late beloved coach, Walter P. Steffen. Its purpose is to assist students who participate in intercollegiate athletics. Since many alumni are ex-athletes, they feel deep affection for Judge Steffen, and they want to 86 Men's and Women's Presidents preserve the tradition of good athletics at Tech by expending the Fund in the best possible way. Therefore, the Fund Committee is concerned with distributing the scholarships to students of high scholastic attainments who also possess leadership, worthy personality, and definite need of aid. As Chester C. Williamson, chairman of the committee, says: “The Steffen Committee members recognize their responsibility to the alumni to make awards to men who will be a credit to us as participants in intercollegiate sports, as students, and later, as alumni. In addition, the Committee encourages all Tech alumni to recommend prospective students with outstanding scholastic and athletic ability for aid from the Fund, as well as contributing to it as much as possible. The goal of the Fund is ten thousand dollars a year, an amount which will eventually build up a really fine team. In connection with this project the Pittsburgh Men's Clan held a luncheon at the University Club on January 17, 1942, in honor of the student lettermen and coaches of all the intercollegiate teams. Many former lettermen attended the affair, some travelling from distant cities. The speakers were President Robert Doherty and Mr. Robert N. Waddell, popular former football coach. The women graduates conduct a successful scholarship fund for senior women of Margaret Morrison and the College of Fine Arts, under the auspices of the Pittsburgh Women's Clan. Approximately one thousand dollars is raised annually by a benefit and by gifts from alumni. Over one hundred girls have been recipients of awards from the Women's Scholarship Fund during the past years. These scholarships are memorials to Miss Frances Parry, for many years an instructor in Margaret Morrison; Miss Tillie Moore, who was the matron at Margaret Morrison for twenty-six years; and to alumnae Harriet H. Ellis, M'09, and Helen Stewart, M'll. Because of the troubled times and great amount of unrest and unhappiness in the world today, this year the Carnegie Alumni Federation wishes to work even harder for the continued success and attainments of the Alma Mater. Alumni clans are organized in more than thirty cities in the United States. These local groups hold frequent meetings in order to promote alumni interest, and they also serve to keep alive social contacts between the graduates in their communities. They extend a hearty invitation to all the members of the class of 1942 to join together and help them in this effort. ALUMNI FEDERATION OFFICERS President......................M. M.

Through the passing of Professor Hower the school lost one of its most distinguished instructors and scholars, as well as one of its most beloved teachers. Because of his kindly disposition Professor Hower was given the nickname “Happy Hower. Few of his students will ever forget his entertaining lectures and his superb showmanship. He truly typified the ideal professor and administrator. The death of Professor Hower marks the end of an era in the history of Carnegie Tech. Harry Sloan Hower Chow the way that truth and peace and wealth of experience ‘''may be ours. Tech's activities are varied enough to suit the tastes of all the student body. A college career without extracurricular activities is rather like a house without a door; strong it is, perhaps, and sturdy, but quite unfinished. THI! WAV ken, bear aloft the Beacon bright . . .

'T'au Beta Pi is a national honorary engineering fraternity ± with chapters on seventy'six campuses in the United States. The present membership is nearly 37,000. Our chapter was established in 1916. The Association was founded at Lehigh in 1885 “to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by disting' uished scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates in engineering, and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering colleges of America.” Juniors from the upper tenth, and seniors from the upper fifth of their classes are eligible for membership. While scholar' ship is the primary requisite for admission, integrity, breadth of interest in engineering, adaptability, and unselfish activity are also emphasized. Admission is granted after interviews upon the approval of the active membership and the Advisory Board, which consists of three undergraduates and four faculty members. Elections are held in each semester. The Tau Beta Pi issue of the Technical, written entirely by the actives of our chapter, has attracted wide attention. That Tau Beta Pi serves a worthwhile purpose among the engineering schools of our country is evidenced by the number of prominent engineers and teachers who are members. Tau Beta Pi stands as a group ready to serve the engineering profession and colleges where it is organized. 94 6th row: Deihcl. Munn, Win, cheater, Hotchki , Thonu , Wright, MaeGilvary.

This society is composed of graduate and undergraduate members of all departments of American universities and colleges. Its primary objective is to emphasize scholarship in the minds of college students, to hold fast to the original purpose for which institutions of learning were founded, and to stimulate mental achievements by the prize of membership. It also seeks to bind more closely the alumni to their Alma Mater, to furnish an additional tie to college friendship, and to interest its members in the promotion of a more thorough education. Several fellow ships for graduate study are awarded annually by the society to members who have gained distinction for scholarship in their undergraduate work. The chapter at Carnegie, installed in 1933, selects its members from students in all three colleges upon the basis of scholastic standing and character. Faculty members and alumni of classes of five or six years' standing may also be elected to membership on the basis of outstanding qualifications. The Carnegie chapter makes its calls at the annual Carnegie Day exercises. In addition to its regular meetings and the initiation, the activities of the Carnegie chapter have included the sponsorship of an assembly, a panel discussion, and an annual banquet with a lecture by some outstanding scholar in some branch of the arts, science, or engineering. nil kirn nii OFFICERS Harold L.

These sixteen men are a senior group chosen from both the Fine Arts and Engineering colleges by the Points Committee of Student Council. Their intense interest in Carnegie Tech scholastically, as well as socially, has made these boys eligible for the Dragon Society. Throughout the past year the Dragons have distinguished themselves by promoting successfully large campus affairs. They opened the school season with the “Welcome Freshman Dance”, which was followed by the “Fall Carnival”, a festive time that was, for a large part, sponsored by the Dragons. Liter on the “I Want a Team” drive, which added greatly to the school spirit, was given much momentum by this organization. Enthus' iastically they helped with skating parties, new “Spring Carniv' al” problems, and pep rallies. The Dragons assisted in one of the finest Commencement Balls in recent years. Much time and effort is put forth by these boys, who are constantly working for the betterment of school activities. 100 Top: Pittock. Leister. Front Piper. Whitney. Fenner. Gup. TIvompson. Parker. Woods. The highest honor that can be bestowed upon a college woman is to be chosen a member of the Mortar Board Society. Chosen yearly at Spring Carnival, there are twelve personable seniors who have the privilege of being identified as Mortar Bairds by wearing significant black jackets bearing the yellow Mortar Baird insignia on the right hand pocket. The epitome of scholastic ability, leadership, personality, and service is the Mortar Baird. In short, these girls are the cream of the crop. This national honorary was founded in 1918; the Carnegie Tech chapter was established in 1923. To the first national convention came representatives from Swarthmore College, Ohio State University, the University of Michigan, and Cornell University. It was at this convention that a constitution was drawn up. Included in the Mortar Bairds' many activities this year were two successful tea dances; an etiquette movie at a student assembly; participation in the Women’s Guild dance, where they sold cokes at their popular “pub ; in November a silver exhibition in conjunction with a well-known national firm; an annual Christmas Sing that preceded the holiday recess; and a Smarty Party for the girls with outstanding scholastic ability. Throughout the year, bi monthly meetings were held to arrange business and social activities. uiiimit noil!ii OFFICERS Gertrude Feisner President Alice Woods Vice President Helen Pittock Secretary Jean Whitney Treasurer 101 2nd tow: Voclz, Hcnncbcrgcr, Beal, Lloyd, Rousseau.

The fraternity is made up entirely of former Scouts who have joined together to serve. It is a national organization, with a local chapter located on the Carnegie Tech campus. Its activities during the last year have been varied and useful. Alpha Phi Omega operated a second-hand book store for the benefit of the student body. Its members were available as guides to show visitors around the campus. The fraternity also had a travel bureau which enables out-of-town students to get rides home at vacation time with other students. Following their annual custom. Alpha Phi Omega helped the freshmen during Freshmen Week by operating information booths. The members are now working on a project which will increase the enjoyment of all the students.

This is no mere task. And until you have worked a year or two in the closet (Thistle office) nestled in the rafters of the Union, you can never know the effort put forth by the dutiful staff; you will never feel the joy they know when, weeks after the deadline, their papers are in order. Actually, the purpose of a college year book is to present accurately and faithfully the campus activities for the current year. With this in mind, our staff has set forth with firm determination to give you the super year-book of 1942. Our editor is off to a flying start by putting all of the senior pictures together; we feel that something new has been added. Since the entire staff believes in innovations, we have plenty of new surprises for the 1942 Thistle. The big inspiration for us—last year's push-button radio—has gone, and we miss it. But to replace this vital equipment, our representative literally snatched from the OPM one beautiful, nickel-plated, high gloss-finished pencil-sharpener. (The line forming to the right is composed of inspired Thistle writers.) We sincerely hope that you will keep your Thistle for the years to come, and recall through it the happy days when you thought the burden of homework was more than you could bear. Good luck, Thistle Staff of 1942 108 3rd tow: Armstrong, CaulticlJ, Gochring,Gallousi , Long, Miller, Sa:co. Hobbs. Laucr. 2nd row: Lawther , O'Brien, Crooks.

TARTAN STIFF Saul Moses Editor Harry W. Abrams Bustness Manager Joanne Tishlaricu Managing Editor Barbara Kramer ? ews Editor Joe Thomas Sports Editor ■pERHAPs the most striking feature of the 1942 Carnegie Tartan was the interest it deveb oped in world events. As the official publica tion of Carnegie Tech, the Tartan has consist' ently endeavored to encourage in the student body an active interest and a participation in world events. The staff, however, maintains emphatically that it has no desire to rival daily news coverage by newspaper and radio; instead, it wishes to print only that news which affects the Tech student, such as the formation of defense'activity groups, and information about Tech men in the service. In keeping with this broadened interest in world events the Tartan has initiated a new policy of allowing different members of the senior staff to write the editorial each week. Another innovation in Tartan policy was the editing, early in the first semester, of one issue by each of the members of the junior staff. As matters have turned out, this proves to have been a good project on the part of the staff, for it has become necessary for the juniors to 110 42 THTA take charge of the publication at the end of April and continue it unaided throughout the summer months. The only other important change that has taken place in the Tartan has been in its physical set-up the length of the paper has been increased and the page has been made a trifle wider. And the Collegiate Digest section has been added to give news and pictures of the activities of other colleges. The increased advertising space provided by this section has enabled the Tartan to declare proudly that it has kept within its budget a very important factor in the face of a war emergency. The contents of the paper itself, however, remain unchanged this year. Every week there appears a picture and a write-up about an outstanding senior, popular campus chatter, editorials, letters to the editor. Student Council minutes, and sport news. In all, the Tartan ably fills the needs of the Carnegie student. While it is now managed under the policy that although life still goes on outside “the Bounds of Schenley,” campus activities should nevertheless occupy the major portion in the paper. As a result, the Tartan is eagerly awaited every Tuesday by the entire student body. 4:Ji row: Burm, N'tercnbcrg. Snyder, King, Lloyd. Watkins. Beamer. 3rd row: Grow, Levin. French. Saul. Gcehring.

Shank Managing Editor Andrew B. Potter Business Manager cr’HE Carnegie Technical, a student technical magazine, 1 has reached its fifth year of successful publication. It has grown to a magazine of about forty pages, and appears six times during the school year. It presents a wide variety of articles of current interest to students and teachers interested in engineering work. The accomplishments of The Technical are threefold: first, it provides a means by which technical material written by faculty members, students, and graduates may be presented for general reading. Secondly, it furnishes to the reader matter which broadens his technical under-standing. Lastly, the magazine offers an excellent opportunity to those interested in publishing a magazine, both from the business and editorial standpoints. Besides general articles, the Technical publishes an activities page, containing news of engineering and honorary organizations. Among these are Tau Beta Pi, Theta Tau, Phi Kappa Phi, Pi Tau Sigma, Eta Kappa Nu, and Scabbard and Blade. Much of its success can be attributed to the expert leadership of the students in charge. Honors must also go to the faculty members of the advisory board, who are Dr. W. N. Jones, Director of the College of Engineering; Professor Leo T. Lawler, of the English Department, and Dr. R. F. Mehl, head of the Department of Metallurgical Engineering. THB TECHNICAL 1 112 2nd tow: Ferrell Andrew . Mean , Mormon.

Every issue—every month—supplies us with some hearty laughs. Of course the jokes are of para' mount importance, hut in addition there are other features: Fleas furnishes inside dope on the social life of Maggie Murphs, engineers, and art students; Fashions describes what the well dressed Techite should and, of course, does wear; Records picks out the hottest jive and the smoothest swing; and Around Town tells where the students buy what they need and where they go on Saturday nights. There are poems and stories, many of them original, and cartoons all in the frivolous and light vein befitting the magazine. In every issue the Scottie takes some school activity as its theme. For example, during sorority and fraternity rushing, it exposed the methods used to get the right people in as members. Another issue featured pictures of the sorority pledges. The staff of the Scottie is made up of representatives from all three colleges and all classes. They type, write, sell, proof read, and in various other ways cooperate to put the magazine out on time. Every student in the Institute is encouraged to work on the magazine, and to send it items of interest. THE STAFF Edmund Chaffey Editor Millard O.

THE STAFF John H. Tross Editor-iii'Chief William Heer Business Manager Ann Konstan Womens Editor '“'vne of the school publications which most deserves ' 'thanks is one that is little known. Perhaps this is because most of the work of the Tri-Pub staff is done in the summer, when staff members write and arrange and rearrange in a frenzy, so that the Student Handbook, or, as it is better known, the Plebe Bible, will be ready for the students when they register in the Fall. Few Tech students realize the enormity of this task, yet few students could get along without their handy handbooks, which contain information about school organizations, publications, athletics, and cheers and songs, as well as a complete calendar. In some years TRI'PUB publishes the Student Directory, a book containing the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all students. Included in the Directory is a full roster of each fraternity, sorority, and honorary on campus. When the need calls for it, the staff also publishes the Carnegie Songbook. The staff positions are: editor-in-chief, business manager, and women's editor. New staff members are chosen by each out-going staff on the basis of advertising sold and interest shown in the work of Tri-Publications.

A n important force in coordinating and promoting dormitory life is the weekly newspaper, the Dorm Bagpiper. Written and published entirely by residents of the men’s and women's dormitories, it contains news of interest to the campus as a whole and to dorm residents in particular. By means of this publication the dormitory students are able to become better acquainted with each other. The Bagpiper includes stories of the multitudinous social events in the dorms, feature articles on the harunv scarum life of a dormitory inhabitant, news of the activities carried on and sponsored by the dorm councils, and news about the Claymore Clan, the dorm men's honorary. Its sports page is of interest to the whole school for it tells of the important part the various dorms play in intramural athletics. It relates the news of the various organizations in the dorms. A weekly short sketch of some outstanding dorm personality and a “gossip” column concerning the social doings of the dorm men and women are also regular features. This year the publication became a weekly four-page, lithographed newspaper, containing more pictures of school life than any other campus newspaper. In addition to the former equipment, a completely equipped darkroom has been added to facilitate the use of more timely and interesting pictures. this ii ii i! ii mcnm THE STAFF Melvin Green Editor Bernard Semtner Managing Editor Ann Konstan Hews Editor Joe Notary Copy Editor ITT .3rd tow: Aronson.

THE STAFF Roger Loper Editor-in-Chief B. Roy Ertelu Managing Editor Ed Munyer Photo Editor Harry McIntyre Business Manager Opring Carnival of '41 gave birth to the first pictorial newspaper ever to appear on the Tech campus. This new publication, christened The Cut, was the inspiration of a small group of fellows who were interested in combining photography and journalism. They were particularly anxious to sec if a picture publication, which had been received with such tremendous success in other parts of the country, would “take hold” at Tech. In its first attempts this new publication received financial support from Student Council for the purpose of putting out a free newspaper every day of Spring Carnival. The paper became an immediate success. The Cut staff wanted to give Tech a light, easy to read publication that would bridge the gap between the formality of the Tartan and the breeziness of the Scottie. As a regular feature each issue contained a very clever gossip column entitled “Backhand Shots”, and two thumbnail personality sketches, one of a student and one of a faculty member. The paper mainly devoted itself to building up a unified student spirit to support athletic teams, and to picture the social highlights and emphasize the social life on campus.

That is our Kiltie Band known the nation over for its marching ability and its unique Scotch kilts, plaid shawls, and Scottish caps. The band, led by Director Morrow, Band Manager Art Steele, and Drum Major Paul Wines, has just completed a season of which it can be justly proud. The band played at all home football games; it participated in pep rallies, played on the Stanley stage as a part of Vaughn Monroe's Tech Nite , and closed its season with the annual concert at Carnegie Music Hall. The band has been an active organization on campus since its beginning in the fall of 1910. In 1912 Mr. E. F. Sullivan became director of 118 COMING .... HURRAH _ HURRAH the hand and served in that capacity until his death in 1938. During that time, “Sully established himself forever in the hearts of the band and the school. In 1938 Dr. J. Vick O'Brien took charge of the band and remained its director until the fall of this year, when Mr. James Morrow, of the music department, was appointed wielder of the baton. In 1932 the present uniforms were purchased in Scotland; last year the band completed its Scotch air with the addition of bagpipes. This year the pipers and their droning music have become old faces in the organization and occupy the distinguished position of front rank in the marching band. The most recent innovation of the band has been the founding of the Sully Clan, in honor of Sully, its beloved director. The Clan is composed of the band's ten outstanding mem bcrs. Sully Clan members received public recognition between halves of the TeclvNotre Dame game when they were awarded emblems significant of their position. To a spectator, it may seem that being in the band is just a lot of fun. The members do have a good time, and they enjoy playing; but like anything else, marching and playing re' quire long hours of hard practice before per' fection is even approached. Reward for service in the band is a silver key for two years of membership and a gold key for four. But the true value of membership is the friendships made, the experience gained, and the pure satisfaction of playing music with a fine organization. 119 2nd row: Purcell, Einhom, Kraus. 1st tow: Young, Chalkner, van Amcringon. 2i«l tow: Young, Dxkson.

This is the group that sponsors the freshman corn roast during Freshman Week in September. The plebes go over to Schenley Oval and play Baseball, run relay races, and generally spend a strenuous afternoon. By the time the playoffs have determined the championship baseball team, everyone is hungry enough to eat sole leather. Such an extreme measure is unnecessary, however, for by this time the corn, hot dogs, rolls, coffee, and ice cream have arrived; everyone consumes food in unbelievable quantities. Two days after the corn roast the plebes' gastronomic interests are again looked after at the Y' Cabinet dinner in the Commons. Many faculty members are introduced to the new class for the first time, and some prominent Pittsburgh clergyman is the principal speaker. Every other Thursday evening during the school year the YCabinet meets to discuss some coming event or to hear a guest speaker. These meetings are usually open to freshmen interested in becoming members. Just before the Christmas and Easter vacations, a dinner is held in cooperation with the Women's Christian Association, to which everyone on campus is invited. Climax of the year is the spring retreat to Cook's Forest. All the cabinet members meet there for a week end of spiritual discussion and recreation. 122 2 ut row: Lloyd. Hogg.

All freshmen women automatically become members upon registration at Carnegie. The organiza' tion's aim is to bring the Christian spirit into college life so that the soul may be cultivated as well as the mind. Its governing body is the C. W. C. A. cabinet, whose members are elected by all Carnegie women; new candidates arc chosen by the outgoing cabinet. This year during Christmas vacation the chapters of many colleges in the Western Hemisphere met at Miami University at Oxford, Ohio. The topic for discussion was originally peace, but after war was declared, the delegates decided whole heartedly to support the declaration. They tried to find a plan by which the world might recover, and be made even better when this war is over. The representatives from South America, Hawaii, and other American territories all pledged themselves to work for a just peace. The annual retreat will take place at Eaglesmere Park in June, if the war situation permits. There will be conferences and social events for men and women from all the Eastern colleges. C. W. C. A. sponsors the Big and Little Sister movement. Every freshman girl is welcomed and befriended by a junior or senior girl when she comes to Carnegie. Dinner meetings are held once a month; good speakers make these meetings well attended. The Christmas and Easter dinners are two of the biggest events of the year. s OFFICERS Margaret Stuchell President Elizabeth Weaver Vice President Mary E.

Each house is represented on the council by two men, a junior and a senior representative. These men, under the advisorship of Mr. Murphy, determine the action to be taken and the events to be sponsored by the fra-ternities throughout the year. The Council has grown rapidly in importance and now occupies a prominent position on the campus. By promoting athletic contests and awarding competition trophies, the Couiv cil has been able to foster a keen, though friendly, spirit of rivalry among the fraternities. Each year it awards a cup to the house which has the highest scholarship rating. In an endeavor to maintain a high standard of public opinion toward the fraternities, the Council presents a cup to the fraternity which maintains the neatest-appearing house and grounds throughout the year. It also awards a placque to the house having the best decoration during Homecoming week. It has also promoted cooperation, mutual friendship and under-standing among the fraternities.

New pages arc being added to the already long and distinguished history of the national Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity. At the outset of 1940 the Chapter suffered a serious setback, due to an unusually large graduation class and a great number of members transferring to other institutions. They recovered quickly, however, and built up a very strong pledge class to compensate for the loss. House membership in 1941-42 was fifty per cent higher than in 1940-41, with a nucleus of very active sophomores and juniors. The 1941 graduating class is well represented in the Nation's Armed Forces, many in official capacities and some serving abroad. ATO was well represented on campus in athletics, student government and other activities. They carried out an extensive intramural program, being well represented in all fields. The ATO's undertook a very ambitious social program for the year, with particular emphasis on new and unique entertainment. Some of the high spots of the social calendar were the Fall Barn Dance, Christmas Pledge Dance (the annual Coming out party for the pledges), and Spring Formal. A series of tea dances and dinners for various campus sororities proved to be quite successful. OFFICERS R. H. Wf.bb President W. N. Breswick Vice President D. J. Rex Secretary V. R.

The fraternity was represented on all of the school publications, Student Council, Alpha Phi Omega, the honoraries, the Radio Club, the forensic societies, and the Scotch and Soda Club. The Beta Sigs count among their actives men on the football, soccer, and basketball teams. A very successful social season was opened this year with the tea for freshmen women. Numerous house dances and affairs, such as Monte Carlo Night were well supplemented by informal smokers. The house's Winter Formal, the pledge dance (complete with circus characters), and the Inter-fraternity Formal rounded out the enjoyable social calendar. In the field of sports the boys of Beta Sigma Rho always showed up among the leaders. The touch football, volleyball, and basketball teams met with fair success; and especially good were the bowling, bridge, and table tennis teams. As a result of Beta Sigma Rho's activity in campus life, four new trophies were added to their collection. In the future, Beta Sigma Rho will continue its program of embodying the highest ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and leadership in campus life. 3rd row: Po«ner, Apcll. Twiry. Mednick, Schnur.

The Tech chapter, Gamma Iota, tries to live up to the traditions and expectations of a chapter of Beta Theta Pi, and in so doing provides its members with cne of the most memorable and broadening o. experiences. Every section of the United States and most departments of the school are represented at the Beta house, giving it a cosmopolitan atmosphere that is difficult to equal. Prominent Betas are the President of Student Council, the Editor of the Thistle, Editor of the Cut; and members of the Y Cabinet, Scabbard and Blade, Alpha Phi Omega, and Tau Beta Pi, as well as many varsity athletes. On the Betas' social calendar were numerous events, beginning with a very successful rushing season which added seventeen new men to the chapter roll. The Miami Triad, a dance given with the Pitt chapters of Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi; the Homecoming Dance; the Orphans' Party; the Mothers' Club parties; and the Spring Formal completed the round. Known as the Campus Troubadours, the Gamma lota chapter takes pride in its group singing and in its custom unique on the Tech campus of serenading every lucky girl who receives a Beta pin.

Twenty' seven boys were pledged under the purple, white, and gold the fraternity colors. For the first time at Tech, the pledges published a paper called “Season Timber. This was one of the many new things the Delts started this year. This year's social life included an initiation dance at Webster Hall, a breakfast at the house after the Interfraternity Formal, and several informal dances. Another new event this year was a Father'Son Banquet, after which, the boys and their fathers went bowling. The banquet was so successful that the Delts are going to make this an annual event from now on. In Intramural Sports, Delta Tau Delta holds the league championship for football. The champion pingpong player of Tech is also a member of this fraternity. As for activities, the Delta Tau Delta fraternity is well represented in all fields. Delts are found on Student Council, in the Dragons, on the staffs of all the publications, and in many other organize tions. The president of the Junior class of the Fine Arts School is a Delt, as is the Editor of Tri'Publi' cations. 3rd tow: Stevenson. Bowman. Dyck, McAIccr. Henry, Cauthorn.

In this twenty' fifth year, the DU's led the twelve fraternities on campus in the scholarship race. Several of the brothers have distinguished their fraternity by being called to Tau Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi, Pi Tau Sigma, Theta Tau, and Scabbard and Blade. The slogan “A D U in everything and every D U in something” the boys conscientiously lived up to. The fraternity was represented on Student Council; the Dragon, Delta Skull, and Scimitar Societies; Pi Delta Epsilon; Alpha Phi Omega; the Y-Cabinet; and on all the publications. Along with scholastic strength goes athletic prowess. Members of Delta Upsilon are also members of the varsity football, soccer, and tennis teams. The triumphs of the season came when the D U's won the coveted Intramural Football and Basketball Championships. Evidence of these victories rests on the house mantle in the form of the all sports trophy. The social season included, among other events, a Homecoming dance; a real barn dance, complete with several pumpkins and two large, live chickens; a bang-up picnic at far-away Ohio Pyle; and a Spring Formal. In addition to these, informal house dances were held every other week, to fill out a round of fun. OFFICERS W. W. Powell, Jr. President C. G. Agle Vice President G. A. Rodney Treasurer W.

The athletic side of their ledger was full, as always, with six brothers on the varsity football team; and three on the freshman squad; four on the swimming team; and one in track. They were well represented in the class honoraries. As for other activities, the Scottie circulation department and the Tartan sports pages know the Kappa Sigma hand well, as does the Men's Glee Club with its four husky Delta Alpha voices, and Interfraternity Council, of which a Kappa Sigma is president. Typical of Kappa Sigma activities' men is President Mark SchofFner, who is president of the Senior Class, social editor of the Scottic, and Chairman of the Points and Keys Committee of Student Council. In other ways the brothers won honors for their crest this year. They repeated their successful venture into the realm of song by again copping the Sing and Swing Cup as they did two years ago. The little Kappa Sigma buggy won the Spring Carnival buggy races for the sixth straight year and set a new record. The highlight of the social season was their formal dance to which were invited representatives from every fraternity and mens' group on campus. m Slh row: Pn{chard. Borns.

The Rho chapter was founded on the Carnegie Tech campus in 1925 and will soon complete one of the most successful years that it has known since that time. Phi Kappa has men in practically every one of the school activities. This year it was represented by brothers who participated in Student Council; the honorary societies; and athletics, both varsity and intramural. At the present time, the Phi Kaps are the defending softball champions. The Phi Kaps have had a full social program throughout the year. The rushing season was an outstanding success and was highly enjoyed by both the actives and the rushees. After a round of parties, picnics, and house dances, thirteen men became proud Phi Kappa pledges. The highlight of the fall season was a “comic” pledge party. A Christmas party and many other notable events followed. The climax of the year was the annual Spring Formal which was this year held in April, owing to the speeded school program. With the excellent pledge class which was initiated this year, and with such a flawless record to start it on the way, Phi Kappa is looking forward to an even more successful year than ever in spite of troubled war condi' tions which exist today.

The alumni were welcomed back at Homecoming by a dance and a prize-winning display; later on came the Pledge Party and Kid Party. Enjoyable tea dances were held throughout the year for sororities on the campus. Last but not least was the Spring Formal, one of the most colorful and important of all the social events. Pi K A was well represented in intercollegiate sports, with lettermen on the soccer, sw'imming, basketball, track, tennis, golf, and football teams. The Pi K A’s competed in all the intramural sports, winning several coveted cups. Prominent Pi K A's hold the offices of the Treasurer of Student Council, Editor and BusinessManager of the Scottie, and Business Manager of the Cut.

Hello Phooey 166 Tn recent years, Carnegie Tech's chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon has steadily increased in size, and despite the present war situation, it is still growing. Fraternities are definitely beneficial to our country, and the most helpful thing they can do at such a time is not just to remain in existence, hut to increase in strength during the emergency. Although SAE's have already lost several men to the Army, they have continued to do their part. The men of the chapter are becoming increasingly interested in school activities. In the past year, many men participated in the various school affairs, including four starting football players, four members each of the Glee Club and the Band, and the President of the Junior Class. The fraternity entered a team in every intramural sport and was very successful, retaining for the second consecutive year the championship of its league in basketball. Carnegie Tech is growing conscious that the men of SAE are becoming important cogs in the mechan ism of the school. This past year included one of the most successful social seasons, being highlighted by a Christmas Party, a formal, and the annual pledge party. In addition, breakfasts were served following each of the most important formals of the year. The attendance of SAE's at chapter and school functions has been larger than ever before and augurs well for the future. OFFICERS Maurice Dhondt Eminent Archon Edward A.

After the sounds of repair and repainting died away from the Sigma Nu house early in September, the fraternity began the year with a welbplanned rushing program which included dinners, dances, and a smoker. The result was a group of pledges which holds great promise for the future of the chapter. Among the brothers of the past year are leaders in sports, activities, and scholarship. The fraternity is proud of its captain of the varsity football and basketball teams, its Chairman of Spring and Fall Carnivals, and its members of honorary organizations. By setting good examples, such men are urging newcomers to the Chapter to take an active part in school life, and the initiates of the past year have not been slow in responding. Each one has made a good start in some campus activity. A competent Social Committee planned and prepared for the chapter's lighter moments, among the most memorable of which were the entertainment provided the Alumni at Homecoming, the formal Christmas dinner dance, and numerous unique house parties. Interesting and enjoyable, too, was a tea held for the freshman girls, a new idea which will probably be repeated in future years. 2nd row: Taylor.

A Tau Delt is on the varsity tennis team, and one played varsity basketball. The fraternity ranks high in intra' mural pingpong and volley ball. As usual, the annual tea for freshman women started the social season, which included a pledge dance, a Homecoming dance, and a rushing picnic. There were also many informal house dances. During Christmas vacation, the Tau Delt‘s left their house on the Tech campus for their new residence on Walnut Street, in East Liberty.

Although the tire, which demolished a large portion of the third floor, inconvenienced the Theta Xi s for quite some time, it caused a program of renovation which resulted in two new study rooms and a new dormitory. After the excitement of the fire had subsided, the house was brought back to normal by the yearly period of chaos called initiation. After February first, bright new Theta Xi pins were worn about the campus by eleven new initiates. Socially, Theta Xi had a fine season this year. Starting with rushing season, the social calendar was dotted with red letter events such as the interfraternity open house held during Fall Carnival, the annual Pledge Dance at the Cavalier Club, and Spring Formal at South Hills Country Club. A high point of the social season was Navy Day at Theta Xi. Fourteen members of the Naval Academy's Rifle Team were entertained for a busy day, which was climaxed by an informal party. Sports occupied a large portion of the Theta Xi's time. They made a fine showing in such intercollegiate competitions as football, trade, basketball, cross country, swimming, tennis, rifle, wrestling, and hockey. 3rd row: French. Ounun.

The keynote of its success as a governing body is its policy of open discussion among members. A junior and senior representative from each sorority attend the meetings, but only the senior member is authorized to vote. One of the most important discussions of the year involves the summary of rushing rules, so that there will not be an opportunity for misinterpretation by any of the sororities. In addition to executing the official business for the year. Intersorority Council sponsored its share of social events during the season. The proverbial “good time was had by all” at the Intersorority Picnic which was given for the benefit of all sorority girls. It fulfilled its responsibility of providing one chapel a year by presenting The College Trialogue. It gave two rushing teas to usher in the rushing seasons of both Margaret Morrison and Fine Arts in October and January respectively. A new precedent was set when the Intersorority-Interfraternity Council Tea was initiated on November 2. The climax of the social year was the Intersorority Formal held in the Urban Room of the William Penn Hotel, which was not only a gala occasion, but was a large contributor to the scholarship fund. This fund is given each year to the sorority girl best qualified in activities and in scholarship. 176 IS T E IISII It II It IT V A I!

Known on the campus as the Alpha Kaps, the members have been prominent in many school activities, both social and academic. This year has been a particularly active one for the Alpha Kaps. In the fall they began their social life with a hot dog race. When winter came, the first snow fall was celebrated with an invigorating sleigh ride. The rushing parties were gala affairs, and the rushing season was considered an unusual success by both the actives and the rushees. As usual the Alpha Kaps sold their famous lemon sticks at Spring Carnival. Then came the long-awaited Spring Formal which brought with it an opportunity for the girls to don their best bibs and tuckers. The members enjoyed numerous teas throughout the year at which they became thoroughly acquainted. Summer does not mean a lapse in sorority fun for the Alpha Kaps, but it does mean a good sunburn and many beach parties at their cottage on Lake Erie. The Alpha Kappa Psi girls take an important part in school activities. They have members in Gwens and Mortar Baird. One of their members, Peggy Young, was president of Intersorority Council. The Alpha Kaps proved that they do not neglect their school work by winning the Scholarship cup of which they are justly proud.

The girls wanted to join a national sorority but were forced to abandon their plans. Rushing season was very successful; eighteen new members enriched the ranks of the sorority. The initiation ceremony at the Schenley Hotel made the initiates feel truly welcome to the sister hood. The taffy pull, hayride, spaghetti dinner, spring formal, and senior farewell made up the social calendar of the Alphas. In their booth at the Guild Dance and at Spring Carnival they sold all their varicolored balloons long before the time was up. They also spent many long hours practicing for Sing and Swing. The Alphas' president was also president of Alpha Chi Alpha, managing editor of the Tartan, and women's editor of the Scottie. The sorority was also represented in Cwens, national sophomore women’s honorary. Two of the members brought additional honors to Alpha Theta Sigma by repre senting her on the court of the Campus Queen. A personal note was introduced into the sorority by giving presents to peanut sisters at Christmas time and at birthdays.

Mortar Baird, Women's Guild, Scottie, Tartan, Gwens, and Intersorority Council, to mention a few, are attended by Beta Pi's. In spite of their many activities, the Beta Pi's find time for a full social calendar. The Spring Formal and the Pledge Dance head this calendar, closely followed by the senior dinner. The Guild Dance and Sing and Swing give the Beta Pi's a chance to exhibit their business and entertaining ability. Of course, rushing season is the busiest time of all. A studio party at Marisse Forbes', a formal dance at the Twentieth Century Club, and tea at Aleta and Marty Cornelius' home were the main events during the 1942 season. Throughout the year the girls were entertained at several fraternity houses. Last summer the girls spent the traditional vacation at Van Buren Point. Swimming, bike riding, and gab sessions into the wee hours proved most interesting. Other summer social events included showers for newly wed sisters, as well as several luncheon bridge parties. Friendship and loyalty, two virtues necessary to a successful sorority are stressed in Beta Pi. During their close association in school the girls are making friendships that will last long after college days are over. Witness to this is the fact that many Beta Pi alumnae return year after year to attend the social events.

But what is more important, the week end gave them a chance to pick up stray ends and finish completing this year's program. Rushing season plans naturally took precedence—the tea to be held at Vera Doherty's, the Smorgasbord at Billie Sommerfeld's, and the dance at the Twentieth Century Club. The Beetles' little blue books have been very full this year with dates for two Margaret Morrison sororities, the Alumnae tea, a Mothers' Party, in December, a Christmas party at the Goodfellow's, a Pledge Dance, Theater Party, Spring Formal, and Sing and Swing. Of course, there's the Guild Dance with the Beetle Sausage Shoppe, which makes hot dogs practically a tradition. Girls from Beta Tau Lambda are active in many campus organizations, such as C. W. C. A., Cwens, Mortar Board, Sigma Alpha Iota, Alpha Chi Alpha, F. S. A., Scottie, Guild, and Intersorority Council. The Beetles tied with the Kappas for first place in the Scottie sorority Competition, and a little black scottie (as yet unnamed) graces the mantle. You can find the Beetles at their table in the Beanery every noon and at dinner meetings every other Wednes day in the Women's Club Room. If you aren't going to be in school this summer, you'll be able to find them at Van Buren Point. 3r l row: Colt. Wright. Swearer, Martin, Mean . Crosby. 2nd tow: Mapel. Mormon. Cunningham. O Brvcn.

The Gamma's also did their part for the Guild dance, where their penny pitching booth was a great success; and at Greek Sing and Swing and Intersorority Formal.

The sorority from that time on has been under the guidance of Mrs. Hazel G. Parisi, faculty advisor. The Kappas aim toward activity in all forms of campus life. They not only have members in Mortar Board, Cwens, Alpha Chi Alpha, and Phi Kappa Phi, but their members also arc included in the various class offices, clubs and publications at Tech. There is never a dull moment in the Kappa social calendar. This year there were dinners and teas; that long awaited formal initiation with a dance afterward at the Longue Vue Country Club; the Christmas party; the memorable Spring Formal; the informal dance given by the pledges for their future sorority sisters; and a week or two at the cottage at Like Erie this summer. The fraternities also helped the Kappas enjoy their fun by giving tea dances for the actives. 2nd row: Hogg, Shining, Gehrctt, Michel, Sullivan, Gessler, LoefBer, King, Segar, Livingston. lit row: Lloyd.

With a well-planned social program under the leadership of capable officers, this season has been one of their most successful. The sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Simbali, were a great help to the group, as they have been for the last few years. Serving in cooperation with them was the new sponsor, Mrs. Austin Wright, wife of Dr. Wright of the English department. “Something new has been added” to the Tri-Gam social calendar this season. One of the inno-vations was a series of week-end trips throughout the school year instead of the old plan of a week's vacation in the summer. During the first semester the girls spent several wonderful week-ends at a hotel near Somerset, enjoying the winter sports. Their rushing season program, always the high point of the year, was also new and different. Since Intersorority Council restricted the Art School rushing to one afternoon party (plus the usual luncheon dates), each sorority devoted all its efforts to making their one affair a success. The Tri-Gams came up with an unusual idea an old fashioned freezer party, where the enthusiastic actives and rushees made delicious ice cream. 2nd row: Daugherty, Skillington, Ru«en.

This sorority is unique in that it is comprised of girls from both Fine Arts and Margaret Morrison. The first rushing season was inaugurated with a formal dance at Churchill Valley Country Club, followed the next day by a tea at the home of one of the actives. Rushing ended successfully with a very novel progressive dinner. After a pledge ceremony and dinner at the Villa D'Este, five girls donned the red and gold pledge pins, increasing the membership to nineteen. The social season was highlighted by a barn dance at Totem Pole Lodge in South Park. The Mags are privileged in having as their spon' sor Mrs. Samuel Rosenberg, wife of a member of the Fine Arts faculty. Mrs. Yon and the faculty, as well as the other sororities on campus, have aided in planning their social and rushing seasons. Mu Alpha Gamma is proud of the active part which its members take in campus life, being repre' sented on the Tartan and Cut staffs, Cwens, Kappa Chi Kappa, and WAA.

It is made up of the president and four members from each hall representing the four classes; it is advised by Mr. Eyman. During 1941'1942 Paul Wines has served as its president, and under his leadership the dormitory affairs have been handled capably. The Council is not only responsible for order among the men, but also has charge of the social activities of the dormitories. This year it sponsored two dances—an informal last fall and a formal in the spring. The Council also has charge of the expends ture of money of the various dorms. This money, which is collected as an activities fee, enables the boys to have several successful parties each year. With its excellent leadership the dormitories took a much greater part in the intramural sports than in previous years McGill Hall going to the finals in touclvfootball. During the past year the Men's Dormitory Council has kept the men living happily together, and at the same time has helped the dormitories greatly to become more important in campus activities. With this encouraging trend advancing and with Council making every effort to keep it increasing, the men's dormitory residents can look forward to a successful future under the leadership of Dorm Council. 194 3rd row: Kauffman.

In Whitfield, an upperclass house, one day a week an informal tea is held to which the girls bring their friends. This is to promote friendship between the different dorms and the town girls. One of the most successful experiments of this year has been the introduction of favorite faculty members by speeches in the three dining rooms each Wednesday evening. These speak' ers choose any topic they care to, but because of the condition of world affairs, most of the speakers have been from the Defense Council and have discussed war problems.

These two students went to a member of the faculty, who took their ideas kindly and gave some suggestions of his own. From these ideas they started an organization called the Citcom Clan. This happened in 1938. Today in 1942, this clan is well known for its social, scholastic, political, and athletic activities. Athletically, Citcom stands high in bowling, basketball, table tennis, and soft ball, having won the Intramural Points Trophy in 194041. Socially, it has held a freshman picnic and a barn dance.

Hail Carnegie Alma Mater Dr. Eddie Baker V fter an outstanding undergraduate record at Pitt, where he spark-plugged the Panthers for three seasons and played in the Rose Bowl and East-West games, “Eddie” began his coaching career at his Alma Mater. Soon afterwards he crossed Forbes Street to become first assistant on the Tartan staff, and two years ago he was named head coach.

Only a few years ago, the Tartans had a team to be feared by everyone. But many people felt that Carnegie football power was had only at the expense of overemphasizing football in its relation to scholastic effort demanded by the school and its relatively small enrollment. As a result, this year the Tech team was definitely below its former might. Nevertheless, “school spirit” didn't seem to suffer. If anything, people were more than ever behind our team because it was rated as an underdog. The boys themselves realized that they were being pitted against bigger and more experienced teams and, as a result, only played harder. Not an opponent this season, whether it won or lost, finished a game without feeling that it had been through a major Kittle. The first game of the season was against Westminster, up at the stadium, where the Tartans finished on the small end of a 19T3 score. Everybody felt that, in spite of its showing, the team must improve a great deal. The outstanding feature of the game was Virgil Cantini's passing. It looked as if Tech might have a powerful aerial offensive. But that hope was smashed in the Muhlenburg game when passer Cantini injured his neck; he spent the rest of the season wearing a cast. Any player on the team will tell you that that game was a rough affair. Practically everyone on the team was injured. How' ever, October 18, all but Cantini and Anderson were ready to go again.

GRID GREATS GUN FOR GLORY That was the day of Homecoming—the day of the Notre Dame game. On a soggy field in a steady drizzle the Tartans showed what they were really made of and held the Ireshmen to a measly 16 points. Playing a defensive game the whole way, the team was able to stop drive after drive by the Irish. The result was only two touchdowns and a safety scored against the Tartans. We lost, of course, but it was the kind of defeat that deserves a banquet of roses. The roses came in the form of a student drive to raise more money for the Steffen Fund. And you can be sure that after the team's fine showing, everybody gave gladly. The heartbreaker of the season was the game against Geneva. At Beaver Falls on a fine brisk afternoon, Tech led at the half, 60. At the end of the third quarter, the score was the same. But with a few minutes left to play, Geneva capitalized on its good fortune and scored another touchdown. The final score: 13 6, Geneva. The last game of the season, against our traditional rival, Pitt, resulted in another defeat to the tune of 270. The victory over Albright and the losses at the hands of Case and Cincinnati gave the Tartans a final record for the season of two wins and six losses. The results could have been worse and, of course, they could have been much better. No one is complaining; the team tried to win and that is all that can be expected. If the fine spirit that prevailed this year is still in the air next fall, there is every reason to believe that Carnegie Tech might again hit the winning trail. .... ;_.... _ ■ 2ml row: Reuucher.

S r-pHis fall Carnegie Tech put on the field one of the most powerful soccer teams the school has seen in a number of years; and considering the competition encountered, the team had a good season. Before giving a win anddoss comparison, it should be pointed out that two contests were lost by one point, while two others were dropped by a two'point margin. The final tally, however, showed eight losses against no wins. The squad met their strongest competition at the beginning and end of the season. The hooters first met Frostberg State Teachers College and went down 40. In the remaining games, the Skibo eleven developed a powerful defense but seemed to lack the scoring punch. The losses to Oberlin and Grove City colleges by lO scores best tells the story of the team’s improvement, since both these opponents had powerful squads. The outlook for next fall is not very bright at this writing, since the majority of the team was composed of seniors. However, as usually happens, some latent talent among the upperclassmen should bolster the team. These men, combined with a large number of good fresh' men of last year's plebe team, should give Tech another fighting eleven of which the school may be proud.

Volt-brecht, Heller. rT'HE Carnegie Cross Country Team came across the finish line this year with a remarkable number of victories, bettering their records of some years back. They won three out of four meets, defeating Slippery Rock, Westminster, and our arch rivel, Pitt, to round out a most successful season. Shortly after school opened last fall, the team was well on its way. All the boys practiced hard; by the end of the season, as a result of their arduous practice and the able guidance of Coach Halferty, they had established a record that any team would be proud to hold. An unusual situation existed, in that there was but one senior on the team; the remaining members were mostly sophomores and a few juniors. Ben Marcin captained the team, and at the end of the season he and five of his teammates, namely Frank Pritchard, Paul Rotzler, Thomas Vollbrecht, Nick Teresi, and Ben Pucharski were awarded letters. All possible credit is due these boys, who won honor not only for themselves, but for their Alma Mater. The freshman team also experienced an excellent and noteworthy season, winning four out of five contests, showing remarkable ability, and promising many more successful campaigns. 207 MEET STRONG OPPONENTS tt has been rumored more than once in the past few years that the de' emphasis of interscholastic sports put an end to that old fighting spirit always connected with Tech teams, and that student interest in the victor' ies and defeats of varsity teams is a thing of the past. But the 1941 42 basketball season proves that these rumors were wrong, that Carnegie Tech can still show plenty of fight and enthusiasm. After the discouraging record of eighteen straight losses last season, the team bounced back into the victory column; and although they lost more games than they won, the team gave exhibitions of first'dass ball playing more than a few times during the season. 2nd row: Hannum.

The appalling total of twenty-three straight losses became the record of the Carnegie Tech basketball team. They were named the “Winless Wonders and the “Futility Five. The tide finally turned when the team won an impressive victory over G� se. During most of the game the Tartans played flawless basketball and piled up a sizeable margin over the Case team. After their first victory and a long vacation over the holidays, the team played the type of basketball that anyone can be proud of. Shots began to hit the basket with regularity, and good teamwork and a tight defense produced worthwhile results. Tech had once more hit the victory trail. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the whole season was a ten-point-margin victory at the expense of the confident Pitt Panthers. Only a few days before, Tech had lost a heartbreaking game to Washington and Jefferson. Max Hannum had instructed the team as to the intricacies of the Pitt offence; and every time it tried to get under way, anywhere from one to five men were inconveniently in the road. In the middle of the last quarter the Panthers began to sense that something was going amiss, particularly since they were eight points behind. Their renewed determination to win, however, was of little avail; for every shot that a Panther could put in, Patton or Brinn or Hennessey would make one in return. Then it was all over. The next day newspapers termed the game the district's most startling upset. Perhaps it was, but by merely watching the game no one could have told so. Several games followed the Pitt victory, with Tech's five “fighting for the glory. Most glorious of all was our last game, which our boys played with Thiel, in which they shot the season's final basket and trooped triumphant from the court. 209 2nd row: Mills. French. T-inko-skh.

Captain Ted Burtis boosted Carnegie’s scores in the 100 and 50-yard freestyle events. He also swam with Jack Willoby, Bob Galbraith, and Bob Taber on the relay team. Jim McCulh ough, George Tankosich, and Brown competed in the medley, while John Dowd and Bun Turnoch took honors in the 440 and 220'yard events. Frank Martin and Cornelius Sarosdy, back' stroke, and John Vadja and Roger Beal, breaststroke, were strong opposition to Tech's opponents. In the diving events Christopher Smith and Fritz Morgan gave sensational performances. Besides these anchor men, the team can depend on its promising freshmen for higher aquatic attainments. 210 3rd tow: Dickwn, Lyon, Etjel. Callander, Brumtctter, Evans.

There are about twenty men on the varsity team, besides about ten or fifteen on the freshman squad. Because the rifle team is able to shoot postal matches it carries a larger schedule than any other sport on the campus. Postal matches also make it possible for the team to play many of the larger schools of the country. Included in this year's schedule were Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Michigan, Indiana University, Yale, and many others. 211 Bull's Eye Rathbun THE TENNIS TEAM tith a record of five wins out of nine matches, the tennis team had a fairly successful season. On Tech's courts the record is even better— four victories to one loss. Coached by B. P. Hoover, it was rated as one of the best in recent years. After losing to Geneva in the opening match on the latter's courts, they returned home to take the measure of Allegheny. Westminster's Titans proved too strong for the Tartans, but they quickly recovered to beat Duquesne, and Washington and Jefferson. Grove City's netmen proceeded to be the only team to conquer Tech twice by beating them first here and then away. Probably the best match of the season was Chuck Dierker's victory over Grove City’s number one man, the match being played here at Tech. Revenge for the early set'back to Geneva was found in the second encounter, and the season was closed with a victory over Washing' ton and Jefferson College. Playing Number One Man for Tech was Chuck Dierker. Others who played in most of the matches were Moses, Harwig, Reynolds, Herre, Salisbury, and Kaplan. All are either juniors or sophomores. They, along with some promising freshmen, indicate that next year's team will be even better. 2nd row: Motet, Brill, Hawley, Wallace. Kaplan. Hoover, lii row: Posner, Gilman. Showman, Harwig.

THE TRACK TEAM a n undefeated team that's the record for the 1941 track team. Ah ■ though it was confined to indoor practices almost to the time of the first meet, it got off to a good start and showed its well-balanced strength in the first four matches, under the able tutelage of Coach Halferty. Tech opened the season in the Skibo bowl with a smashing 93-33 victory over Indiana State Teachers' college. Their second encounter, with Westminster, was one of the most thrilling of the season, with the final score 64-62 in favor of Tech. The outcome was not determined until the last event, the javelin throw; a winning heave by Bob Church kept the team's winning streak intact. By taking seven first places and nine seconds, Tech defeated Bethany 67XA—58% During the fourth thin-clad win, over Geneva, Tech captured double victories. Pash won both dashes; Sarantopolous duplicated this in the middle distances. In the field events, Karlitsky took both the high jump and discus. A big upset occurred when McLaughlin beat Geneva's previously undefeated Watt in the hurdles. By winning nine firsts and five seconds, the final score was 68-58. Traveling to Grove City for the final dual meet the Tartans narrowly missed a perfect season. Two of the steady point-getters for Tech—Haupt and Church—were out of the meet because of illness. In spite of this, the home team managed to eke out a 63-63 tie. The biggest disappointment to the team was the postponement of the Tri-State Intercollegiate Meet. Originally scheduled for May 17, it was put off because final examinations were being held at Tech. At the conclusion of the season Haupt, who ran the mile and the half-mile, was chosen captain, for the second time. He closed his career with the remarkable record of never having been defeated in intercollegiate competition. 213 WE ALL CAN TAKE A PART ItfiMVi IniuDk i lB9u j’VlOH Du Gridiron Greats Toss Up Down hut not Out Long, Long Ago Spike it Down the Alley Champions I IN THESE 2nd row: Hyman.

In spite of the curtailment which the physical fitness program made necessary, the interest and participation in intramural athletics was still so encouraging that difficulty was found in accommodating everyone. A great share of this increased and sustained interest in intramurals can be credited to the Intramural Managers' Club. This organization, in existence for the first year, is composed of the intramural managers from each participating organization on campus. The club awarded a trophy to the organization exhibiting the most sportsmanlike conduct and co-operation, sponsored an all-school table tennis tourney, and named an alb star team for each of the sports. But now about the results of the program itself. For the fall sports— football, volleyball, and table tennis the teams were divided into three leagues, one for independent organizations and two for fraternities. The three-way play-off in touch football found McGill, the Delts, and DU's as contending champions. In three hard-played games the DU's became champion with Delts second. In volleyball the Pi KA’s showed the same form as last year to win the play-offs from the DU's and Citcom. A photo finish in table tennis found Citcom champions over the DU's and Beta Sigs. In basketball the teams were divided into two leagues with no distinctions between independent and fraternity leagues. It was felt that this policy might stimulate interest in the rather lethargic dormitories. There is still a question as to whether such interest was forthcoming. The SAE's won league one by beating Citcom, and the DU's won league two by beating the Phi Kaps. In the play-off the DU's beat the SAE's by a score of 33-25. With bowling, swimming, and mushball, the springtime sports, the intramural program was rounded out to a successful and enjoyable end. Delta Upsilon by their championships in touch football and basketball and their strong contention in volleyball, table tennis, and swimming made themselves outstanding candidates for the all-point trophy awarded each year. 215 uimmsm; “The Red Cock Crows C7 , J HAT S the way the Tartar Warriors of Genghis Kahn described that dreaded scourge, fire.
