' THISTLE W. Frederick Rousseau - - Editor Robert L. MkLLKRS, Business Manager the kilties are coming, HURRAH .... HURRAH . . . . THE JUNIOR CLASS HERE PRESENTS THE 1943 IN keeping with old CARNEGIE TRADITIONS THIS VOLUME EXPRESSES BEST THE MEMORY OF T CA REF R EE DAYS WHICH IUU COME AGAIN SOME DAY TO AMERICAN V AND W UNFOLD YE . . .It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these shall not have died in vain; that this natic under God, shall have a new birth of fre dom, and that government of the peopl by llie people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.’’ Although nearly fourscore years have passed since President Lincoln humbled the Gettysburg audience, his eloquence pleads our cause today just as magnificently as it did the cause of 1863. The very substance of our present situation is precisely summed up in those words spoken so long ago. To those men in the armed forces, in the air, on the land, and on the sea, we dedicate the THISTLE of 1643. Especially is this volume dedicated to those men who are from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, whether instructors, graduates, or men called while underclassmen. One day, again the sun will shine beneficently upon those young men who gave their present, future, and even their lives . . .that this nation, under God, . . .shall not perish from the earth.” The Sdlfon i w i , ■ fir -. , � � CONTENTS hold in your hands the last edition of the Carnegie Tech Thistle to pre-war representation of pre-war college. This does not infer that in which we are involved has not left its mark. It means that the time needed to prepare this volume, activities, classes, and social life remained outwardly unchanged, and hence arc well represented here. True patriotism does not necessitate frenzied, frantic flagwaving; love of country does not demand big red, white, and blue God-Bless-Americas on every page. Rather, we have left these emotions imprinted; they are intangibles. It has been our endeavor to mirror faithfully the history of Carnegie Tech for the year 1942-1943. Because of the gravity of lilc in a world at war, the staff lias fell a double responsibility for the book. We have attempted to ignore extraneous references to the war. We hope this book will bring genuine pleasure to its readers in the coming years, because it is for the future, not the present, that such books are compiled: and so the stall of the ’43 1'hislle presents you with pleasant memories. WINTER PATTERN STEPS TO POWER ADMINISTRATION S E N 1 fidrivium of Book One is composed of Administration, Council, departmental sections, and senior pictures. lie administrative group of Carnegie Tech is composed of men who keep the machinery of the college running as smoothly and as silently as possible. That such administration is effective is evidenced by the fact that relatively few students arc even aware of the problems which confront the Administration dailv. Student Council is also an administrative organization, but a far more boisterous and irritable section of government than the previously mentioned group. That students should abide by politics formulated by students is an obvious, healthy, and democratic system. The departmental sections arc definite divisions of the various colleges, and arc explained in detail within each department section. Finally we arrive at the seniors' pictures. They are the hope of today, the citizens of tomorrow. They are the men and women who have been forced to graduate a semester early by circumstance out of control, and have gone forth to gain control of that ill circumstance. BOOK ONE O R S . . . DEPARTMENTS gINCE the year 1936, when Dr. Robert Earnest I )ohcrty let t his position as Dean of the School of Engineering at Yale to accept the position of President of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, our school has made great forward strides. In none of the other years of his period of presidency, however, has he been faced with such a myriad of problems and details as in the year just past. The war has forced the school to accept an expedited program under which the school operates continuously through the year. This speed-up confused issues in the various departments, and forced the President to employ all his ability and ingenuity in stabilizing the curriculum. The government also helped complicate President Doherty's work bv the uncertainty in its program. Uncertainty concerning the status of both the student body and the faculty in regards to the Selective Service and the War Manpower Commission necessitated the President’s making several trips to Washington which occasionally drew him away from the Institute. Considering the obstacles with which he has been confronted this year, we may state that our President, Robert E. Doherty, accomplished everything to justify his enviable national reputation.

Murphy Assistant Dean oj Jlen THE Carnegie Student Council is the governing body representative ot all three colleges. It is composed of twenty voting members and nine non-voting members whose duty it is to formulate policies, inaugurate and perpetuate traditions, and supervise the activities of other campus organizations. Regular meetings, held Tuesday evening, are open at all times in order that any student may express his views openly to Council. The minutes are published in full in the Tartan each week so that the student body may be informed of the activities of Council. The officers include a president, a vice-president, a secretary, a treasurer, three assistant secretaries and three assistant treasurers. The Budget Chairman, now also in charge of appropriations, examines budgets submitted by each organization and recommends that they be either approved or rejected bv Council. Each year the detailed annual budget of Student Council is recommended to the Executive Board, and Council is responsible for the administration of expenditures under the approved budget. The Social Chairman draws up the calendar of social events, and petitions to hold all-school dances and to use Thistle I fall must be submitted to him. The editorial and advertising policies of all publications are determined by the Publications Committee. The chairman of this group recommends to Student Council the staffs of each publication. The Points and Keys Chairman is in charge of selecting the men for the Scimitar and Delta Skull by the point system, and he also checks and approves lists of students eligible for keys. I he Chairman of Elections conducts all elections held and appoints members of Council to work at the various polls in the three colleges. This year, Student Council, as the first war time Council, was confronted by new and unusual problems, but it met these successfully under the direction of capable ami hard-working officers and with the help of the Council Adviser, Assistant Dean A. J. Murphy, Jr. To meet the new situation the Constitution was revised for the first time since 1934, and confusing statements were clarified and important changes were made in it. Council adopted the Proportional Representation method of election, under which system one voting member on Council is provided for every hundred undergraduate students enrolled in each of the three colleges. Two-thirds of the voting members are elected at large from the Senior Class, and the remaining number is chosen in the same way from the Junior Class. This change in the Constitution necessitated a revision of the Student Council By-laws, which describe in detail the manner in which elections are to be held. It is hoped that Proportional Representation will prove to be a more satisfactory method of election and that it will secure fairer representation than have previous systems. Interest in the activities of Council has been unusually high this year, and meetings were well attended by members of the student body. Long and heated discussions frequently took place, but important matters were settled to the satisfaction ol all. Student Council, as the connecting link between the faculty and the student body, has done a great deal to bring about a better understanding between the faculty and the students.

Their daily fare consisted of long hours in classes and laboratories, careful attention to instructions, intelligent discussion of important problems, long hours of study, and occasional social activities. These are the men who will shoulder the responsibility in the world of tomorrow. Some of them will be leaders and organizers of industry, others will control the problems of a technical civilization, and still others will be key men in our country's armed forces. What new trails this crew of young adventurers will blaze no one can rightly predict. Certain it is, however, that in the mechanized world of the future, engineers will play an increasingly important role. In addition ENGINEERS PACE to the technical problems of industry, they will be called upon to lend the full strength of their genius to crushing the forces ol totalitarianism and to making the future secure. They will find also that they must cope with social problems thatare evergrowing more complex. Fortunate it is for America that its future rests in competent hands. Carnegie Tech engineers arc thoroughly prepared for every challenge they will be called upon to face. The training they have received here during the past four years is the firm foundation upon which they will build that glorious world of tomorrow for which all peoples arc hoping. The engineers of the 1945 crop are the products of the most well-rounded education that four years can provide. They arc skilled technicians, as handy with laboratory equip- Close Work Chemist's Friends WORLD PRODUCTION ment as with pencil, paper, and slide-rule. They are production engineers, reared in the practical discipline of applied science. They have what it takes to make advances in science and industry. The class of ’43 is the first in the history of Carnegie Tech to have the benefit of four years of Social Relations, a course which will prove a valuable tool in dealing with tomorrow’s problems. Although few of them can be expected to be “social engineers,” all have had a thorough background that enables them to view the evolution of society with an experienced eye. But there is still a third side to the typical Tech engineer’s personality. More than ever before. Tech engineers are military engineers. Many of them have been R. 0. T. C. men for four years and will receive commissions in the Engineer Corps or in the Signal Corps after graduation. Others have joined the Naval Reserve and the Army Enlisted Reserve and will receive their commissions later as specialists. Even those who will be working in private industry cannot but concentrate upon the problems of winning the present war. Demonstration Power High Voltage Switchboards Glen U. Cleeton 11 tad of Department of Printing DEPARTMENT OF PRINTING I IAT makes the Tech Printer a unique person- , ’ alitv? We think that it's partly because Carnegie l ech is the only college in the country that grants a Bachelor of Science degree in Printing and attracts students from all over the nation. 1 le receives well-rounded training in color and advertising design, mathematics, chemistry, physics, liberal arts courses, and laboratories in the varied techniques of printing production. He is a personality, not merely an educational phenomenon. If he is a genuine Printer, he is probably on the staff of at least one campus publication, is an active member ol his dorm or fraternity, looks with contempt upon those hard working engineers who seem to think that studies are more important than social life, and is sure that when he graduates he will get a better job than any one else in his class. And why not? I le’s a I ech Printer! 2X G. U. Cleeton. H. K. Sterling, C. W. Pitkin, G. F. Henman, K. R. RurchnrH. DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING nPHIS year, more than ever before, the problems of Management Engineering arc the interest of our whole national effort, lor we are all interested in the correct management of our nation's industry. To obtain the maximum output with the minimum use of effort and materials, is the purpose of training in Management Engineering. Elemental Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Chemistry, Metallurgy, Time and Motion Studies, Accounting, Safety Engineering, and Management and Labor Problems arc some of the subjects which give the Management Engineer the principles and engineering background to prepare him for the efficient direction of production. The men who study Management Engineering at Carnegie Tech are more than “efficiency experts’’; they are well rounded engineers prepared to take a vital part in industry, making themselves a credit to their school and to their department. Lawrence R. Guild Head of Department oj Management Engineering 2() Guild. Bowen. Wallace. Trcxlcr. McCabe. Bcrl. Monrad, York, Weit DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Warren L. McCabe Head oj Department oj Chemical Engineering T3 UBBER, explosives, gasoline, chemical engi-lvneers—all terms synonymous with the great war of production that we are waging today. Chemical Engineers arc playing a major role in developing new processes and new products to alleviate the shortages with which we arc faced. The Chemical Engineering Department is fortunate to have as teachers such outstanding men as Dr. Bcrl, who was Chief Chemist for one of the largest munitions companies in the world. The department's job is a difficult one; it must in four years combine into one, a Chemist and a Mechanical Engineer. The Chemical Engineer is, for the most part, a process engineer. He must be able to take the findings of the chemist and make them work on an industrial scale. To do this he must have knowledge both of chemistry and of the materials that he must use in the design of his process. With this purpose in mind, the department has designed a rigorous course that covers both these fields. 30 McKinney, Steven . Griffith, Alexamlcr, Stempel, War nrr. Jonc . Scllr, Walker DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY rTHESE Tech students who for the past four years have studied chemistry in preparation for their future careers will this fall he graduated from the College of Engineering. Entering the industrial world during a period of national emergency, they will be called upon to devote every effort to the permanent defeat of the Axis. None of the graduates this year need fear unemployment. Many of them will become officers in the Army, Navy, or the Marine Corps working in research laboratories upon the gases and caustics used in chemical warfare. Others will work in war industries developing fuels to propel our fighting machines, synthetic processes to supply our rubber demand, and hundreds of other war time necessities. After the war these chemists will be invaluable to provide us with improvements in food preservatives, fuels, textiles, refrigerants, and in all the other small items which make our lives fuller and more enjoyable. From this Carnegie Tech graduation class of 1945 J. C. Warner Head oj Department oj Chemistry may come Lavoisiers, Priestleys, and Daltons of the 20th century. All will do their part toward bringing ultimate victory to the Allies anti toward making the post-war world a more pleasant place in which to live. 31 DEPARTMENT Robert V. Mehl Head of Department oj Metallurgy OF METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING 'T'lllS year the Department of Metallurgy has proved its importance by many contributions toward our war effort. At present most ol its work is confidential because of a large number of government contracts. The recent addition of the Electron Microscope and the Electric Induction Furnaces has made this year outstanding, for the metallurgists are now able to study industrial problems which Indore were beyond the scope of the department. They were the first to apply the Electron Microscope's magnifying power to studying the micro-structure of steel, and their work to find substitute materials has enabled certain industries to change their methods. It is the combination of theoretical knowledge with practical industrial problems that makes the members of the present Senior Class versatile leaders in their field. 1 1 row: M.Gcntamer. R. F.

Since that time Carnegie has been a leader in improving curricula as well as methods of instruction. Electrical theories and their application are covered as are the basic engineering subjects. Consequently, its Electrical Engineering Department is rated as one of the finest in the country. Phis year the program has continued to be efficient, despite the fact that both students and faculty have been under a great strain which resulted from a minimum of rest and vacations caused by the expedited program. Practically all graduates upon their departure will be immediately engaged in war work —either directly with the armed forces, or in vital industries at home. Despite the fact that they enter their profession in far from normal times, these men are well prepared to meet the situations which will con-iron t them. William R.

McCullough Head oj Department oj Civil Engineering DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING UTSTORICALLY, Civil Engineering is the oldest branch of the engineering profession. When members of this department are graduated from Carnegie Tech, they are prepared to design and supervise construction of roads, tunnels, bridges, buildings, harbors, and air fields. Now that many of the Civils will go into the armed forces, they will be working under the supervision of the Federal government. Civil Engineers who have completed such an intensive course as is offered here are well equipped to handle any civilian or military problem. In the vicinity of Pittsburgh we have many splendid examples of the modern projects of this type of engineer. The Water Street and I )uquesne Way roadway improvements and the various remodelings of bridges and highways are evidences of the Civil Engineers' work. 34 W C. M. Humphrey!, T. J. K� lcp. R. W.

S. .McKee. department OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 7V T ECIIANICAL Engineering is the science of v machinery, its design, construction, testing and inspection, as well as its installation and supervision. The Mechanical Engineer provides machinery for all other engineering processes. Dr. Estep is the newly appointed head of this department of Tech, which is the largest in the school, including about a third of all engineering students. Meat Engineering, which is concerned with problems in combustion, heat transfer, insulation, and refrigeration, is given as an option in Mechanical Engineering. Aeronautical Engineering is also included within this department. This study covers the design of airplanes, their propellers, aeronautical engines, and also the control of these structures under varying conditions. In addition to the usual equipment, the laboratory has a large wind-tunnel for testing aerodynamic structures. Thomas G. Estep Head of Department of Mechanical Engineering mmmmm 35 DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS Li.oyd L. Dinks Head oj Department of .Mathematics MATHEMATICS, the oldest and most precise -t of the sciences, is taught at Carnegie as a vital prerequisite to natural sciences and engineering. In this function it provides the symbolic language and technique which arc necessary for technical studies. Since mathematics is of primary importance in science and engineering, it is included in every curriculum in the College of Engineering. Many students elect additional courses, but only a relatively small number select mathematics as a major subject and finally qualify for a degree. They may obtain positions in industry, research, or teaching, or tnev may proceed to graduate work, which opens up further fields of interest. Trainee! statisticians arc in great demand today for government service and in all defense industries. The issuing of ration books and the increased scope of taxation will require the efforts of thousands skilled in mathematical calculation. For these tasks and for others which will bring a speedy culmination to the present world struggle. Tech’s mathematicians have been trained. Sack,, Neely. Smith. Whitman.

Students who are graduated from this department may turn to almost any branch of engineering with success, or they may continue in science. During the past year at Carnegie Tech many changes in the personnel were made. On November I, Dr. Frederick C. Seitz, formerly of the University of Pennsylvania, became head of the department, thus filling the need for a man well versed in the theory of solids to aid in collaboration with the Metals Research laboratories. As a result of the war needs of the nation, courses in Microwaves and Applied Optics were put into the Defense Training Program. Much confidential research for the government has been done in the past; in the future much more will be accomplished during the war and in the peace that will follow.

Theirs is an architecturally beautiful building housing live departments- Drama. Music, Sculpture, Painting and Design, and Architecture. The Painting and Design Department on the top floor oilers many kinds of specialized art rarely found in a college of this type. The Little Theater was originally intended for concerts, but was adopted for plays given by the Drama Department. Carnegie was the first school of its type in the country to offer the Degree ol Bachelor of Arts. In this beautiful building the students are inspired towards a higher degree of excellence in their work. This, combined with the instruction of a fine faculty, sends them into the world ready to share their valuable experience with others. 39 Wilfred A. Readio Head oj Department oj Painting and Design DEPARTMENT OE PAINTING, DESIGN AND SCULPTURE nnHE P and I)’s, as the Painting and Design students are called, occupy the top floor and garret of the Arts Building. There they create the paintings and drawings which hang in the long passageway. In the lower depths of the Arts Building one finds the haunts of the sculpture students. A large room decorated with ornate pillars and arches contains casts of famous statues to provide inspiration. Half finished plaster heads, a smell of clay permeating the air, and a gray dust covering everything are mute evidences of creative effort put forth in this curious classroom The Painting, Design, and Sculpture Department has some of the finest instructors in the country. One finds the friendly student-teacher relationship very advantageous throughout this department. l l aw: Hilton, Carter, Scjuitieri. 2nd rtf-: Kllii. Ewin . Edmond.. Lcppcr. Jrd iw: Hyde. Readio.

They began this tumultuous year with Jane Austen s immortal Pride and Prejudice,” closely followed by George Bernard Shaw's “Heartbreak House.” Next came Noel Coward’s “Tonight at Eight-Thirty” and the annual murder mystery, “Nine Pine Street” under the direction ol Mr. Job. “Morning's at Seven,” “Moor Born,” and a play from the playwriting class were presented. The sets were designed, built and painted by the students themselves, as were the costumes. A free hand guides them along the paths ol experience, teaching them every phase of the theatre from building sets to writing, acting, and directing plays. With tiiis guidance and experience, line actors are being turned out to help entertain the world in the future. Henry F. Bottcher Head oj the Department oj Drama ft f+f- Mr� .

Hitciikns Head of Department of Architecture DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE Hr HE FINE ARTS SCHOOL offers three options to students in the Department of Architecture, two live-year courses. Building Construction and Architectural Design, and the four-year course in Interior Decoration. Tech Architects study the design and construction of all kinds of buildings from small houses to churches and large apartment houses. They are thus fitted to specialize in any of these branches after graduation. As a supplement to the study of basic architectural principles, the curriculum includes mathematics, English, construction theory, free-hand drawing, and water color painting. In addition, the Architects are now taking up problems in defense housing and community planning. Various architectural competitions, both national and local, are open to students in this department who submit problems and compete for such prizes as the Beaux Arts Award and the Stewardson Prize. 42 Frey, Kauturkui, Kccblc, Dorian, Punoii. jAnton, Seaman, O'Brien, CnnlirM, Morrow, l,nwlon. DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC HPIIE MUSIC DEPARTMENT at Carnegie Institute of Technology is most stimulating and inspiring. The department has everything to be desired in the way of equipment and opportunity for the ambitious student. The instructors are real musicians who have cultivated patience, kindness of heart, and a genuine willingness to help others, and who show tact when a rough word, hastily spoken might dishearten or rankle. The first attempt at practicing, while so many students are at work, makes the student feel as though the symphony had suddenly gone completely out of tune. Nevertheless, daily practice makes the unsteady student steadier and gradually the power of real concentration is his reward. Never let it be said of a Carnegie Music Student that “he performs the easiest thing with the greatest difficulty, but that “his art lay in his power to conceal his art. J. Vick O'Brien Head of Department of Music 43 MARGARET MORRISON CARNEGIE COLLEGE 'TOMORROW (lie women of America will be asked to do their share in (he reconstruction of (lie world. Today the women of Margaret Morrison Carnegie College arc being trained to undertake this giant responsibility. They are the housewifes, teachers, secretaries, designers, nurses, chemists, and physicists of the future. The themes they write, the books they study, (lie athletic activities they engage in are all helping to make them mentally and physically (it for the job which lies ahead of them. The days of cokes and convertibles have gone. The women of Margaret Morrison have a new, serious, intelligent outlook on lile. Their college careers have a new purpose, and they arc working to accomplish this purpose. Their lives, however, have not become completely barren ol all frivolity. It is just their ways of deriving pleasure which have changed. They walk or ride in (he street cars instead of in their cars. They spend their spare time knitting for the Red Cross or studying courses in First Aid. They still have good limes, but the good times are fewer and are constantly overshadowed bv the war, for they are war-time students. Margaret Morrison women study harder and more willingly than they used to because it is unpatriotic not to study. All arc working toward a new goal. The Margaret Morrison women of 1943 will contribute not only to an American society, but also to a world society. Virginia M. Alexander Head of the Department oj Costume Economics 4 DEPARTMENT OE HOUSEHOLD AND COSTUME ECONOMICS 'TMIE students of the Household Economics Department arc Foods and Nutrition majors. Their course of study prepares them to go into food research work on hospital dietetics or food institution, and fields correlated with the scientific study of foods. Besides science and foods courses the Home Economics take courses from the Costume Economics Department The Costume Economics Department has a varied range of subjects, the major one being problems and construction of clothing. In cooperation with Kaufmann's Department Store, the girls give an annual style show. The war effort lias also played its part in this department. With clothes rationing pending, the girls founded a clothes clinic on Monday nights. The graduates of this department may enter the designing field, department store work, or act as assistants to textile technicians or interior decorators. 46 IjI vuv I'allrrum, Criwinn, Kiilitr, liny , Clmnian, Ely, WinchM(«f. DEPARTMENT OF SECRETARIAL STUDIES WAR lime makes its demands on students, and thus (he Secretarial Department plays its part in defense by devoting time to studies during the summer as a result of the “speed up” system now in effect. The expansion of the Secretarial Department commenced last year, and it is now found to be the largest department in Margaret Morrison in spite of the decrease in the number of students because of the December graduation. This department has a great deal to offer in a variety of fields pertaining to modern secretarial work. The course is unusually valuable in that it combines a liberal arts education with a thorough technical training in secretarial subjects. No recommendation as a secretary could surpass that of being a graduate of the Secretarial Department of Carnegie Tech. Miss Winchester, the head of the department, supervises a course both likeable and important to all girls seeking the “perfect” business training. Edith M. Winchester Head oj Department of Secretariat Studies 47 I)r. Malcolm McLeod Head oj (he Department of General Studies DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL STUDIES rPIIE General Studies Department, under the able supervision of Dr. Malcolm McLeod, is the nearest approach to a liberal arts course offered at Carnegie Tech. There arc two divisions in (he department—the Pre-Library and the Secretarial Minor. The former trains students for the Library School, although it does not guarantee admission. Girls who lake (he Secretarial Minor have more freedom of electives than those girls in the regular Secretarial Department. Consequently, they can pursue their favorite courses while learning the fundamentals of secretarial work. Many students enter this department in order to major in such subjects as history, psychology, and mathematics. Although the department does not give a student the specialized training obtainable in other departments at Tech, it gives her a good, social background for any future specialization she may choose. 48 DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL WORK C1 VERY Monday afternoon the whirr of saws will greet you from the Margaret Morrison handcraft room. There you will see the class of Social Workers busily making their puppets or perhaps bending over their finger painting. This class is only one of the department's novel activities. What could be more in keeping with the times than a study of nationality habits and characteristics? In the class of Races and Ethic Groups, arc taught the innermost troubles and ideals of all types of peoples whom these workers may one day meet. A study of Criminology and Abnormal Psychology teaches the girls how to deal with those struggling victims of circumstance who may become social problems in our complicated way of life. General science and art classes complete the course of these women who will one day take their place among the problem-solvers of our country. Mary C. Burnett Head oj Department oj Social Work 49 DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SCIENCE AND NURSING Harold L. Lang Head oj Department of General Science npiIE General Science Department, under the supervision of Professor Harold Lang, has the important job of training women to take their place in scientific fields. This course qualifies students for positions in chemistry and biology, especially in the fields of food chemistry and hospital laboratory work. It is also accepted as a pre-medical course. With laboratories equipped with microscopes, analytical balances, and incubators, students become well acquainted with the common tools of scientific research. Students in the five-year Nursing course spend the first two years at Margaret Morrison Carnegie College where they pursue an academic curriculum. The next two years arc spent at the West Penn 1 lospital, where the students obtain training in medicine, surgery, public health, etc. The fifth year they complete their work at Carnegie and receive the degree of Bachelor of Science in nursing. 50 SENIORS COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Allers, H.

It is your organization. It belongs to you and the thousands of other men and women who have studied in its buildings and on its grounds. The expense of maintaining the Alumni Federation is borne by the school but the management is entirely in the hands of the officers, who are alumni elected each year at Homecoming by the delegates from the various Clans. These Clans are local Alumni Clubs where you anti your fellow alumni gather lor mutual pleasure and benefit. In most cities these local Clans are organized jointly for alumni and alumnae, but in a few cities like Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and New York there are separate organizations for men and women. Activities of these Clans vary, but all make it a point to get Tech men and women better acquainted. The Alumni Federation office is your service bureau. It is interested in you and everything you do. Four times each year it publishes the “Carnegie Alumnus” full of items of interest about the campus and your fellow alumni. This magazine comes to you without cost. All the Alumni Office asks of you in return is your lively interest in alumni affairs and your correct address at all times. One of the most important activities of the Alumni Federation is the promotion of the 1946 Fund. Until June 30, 1946, the Carnegie Corporation of New York offers to give two dollars to the Endowment Fund of Carnegie Institute of Technology for every one given by the alumni or others, provided they do not have to give more than $8,000,000. Each year one of the alumni is selected to be chairman of the Alumni 1946 Fund Committee to encourage gifts to this fund that is so important if Carnegie is to maintain its leadership in educational institutions. Each year, many alumni make gifts to the fund and testify to their loyalty to and interest in Carnegie. A second important activity of the Alumni Federation is the management of the Steffen Memorial Scholarship Fund. 1 his fund was established to memorialize Walter I®!”} 'L O . ri5, Mr . Robert H.

Steffen, under whose able leadership as football coach, Carnegie Tech produced some of the most successful football teams in the country. Every year, the Steffen Memorial Scholarship Committee awards financially attractive scholarships to scholastically worthy boys with athletic ability. Ten of the 1942 squad were Steffen Scholarship men. The funds for maintaining these scholarships are contributed by interested alumni throughout the country. Each fall, usually on the week-end of the annual Tech-Pitt football game, the alumni holds a Homecoming party. While all alumni are invited and urged to come back, meet their old friends, and enjoy 1 lomccoming, special effort is made to get classes with five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-live, thirty, and thirty-five year reunions to assemble. Last fall, hundreds of alumni with their wives and husbands assembled for two days of friendship, fun, and frolic. First, a tea and reception at the Union, then the annual dinner at which Dr. Doherty presented his annual report to the alumni. The dinner was enlivened by the presence of bagpipers and the Kiltie Band. Saturday morning, the delegates elected by the local Clans, together with the officers for the coming year. Saturday evening, after watching a gallant Tech team play an excellent, if losing, game with Pitt, the alumni assembled for the annual Alumni Dance. Each November, on the evening of Carnegie 1 )av, the alumni assemble at dinner to honor one of Thomas I). Jolly ice-President of Aluminum Company of America the alumni who has done an outstanding job or achieved prominence in his business or profession. The first alumnus so honored was Charles E. Wilson, President ol General Motors Corporation. Next to be honored was James II. Kindelberger, President of North American Aviation, Inc. and at the last Carnegie Day Dinner, Thomas I). Jolly, Vice-President of the Aluminum Company of America, the man primarily responsible for planning and executing the remarkable expansion of aluminum production, was guest of honor. Remember, the Alumni Federation is yours and will reflect your interest. The more of vour interest you put in it, the more you will get out of it. John L.

One of these courses, open to those women who already hold a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college, is a one year course in secretarial studies. The graduates of this course are prepared for the secretarial positions in which an academic background is important. The Placement Bureau of the Institute aids in placing graduates, and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Secretarial Studies is awarded after six month’s experience in a business office. The Chemistry, Physics, Metallurgical, Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering Departments offer courses which prepare students for teaching positions in universities and for research work in industry. The Library School curriculum contains advanced courses tie-signed to qualify students for executive positions in libraries. Many departments offer Masters and Doctorate degrees to those who complete an extensive program of graduate work. 75 HONORARIES PUBLICATIONS contained in Book Two is that other half of college life the activities. Without them, studies would be intolerable. Do, you like singing? Are you a born journalist? Is debating in your blood? Various organizations, such as glee clubs, journalistic stalls, and debating teams will let your suppressed desires l e realized. There arc also the honorary fraternities and sororities which foster development oi projects among students with similar interests. These organizations extend their invitations to those whose work shows promise. The publications arc perhaps the most vital part of the activities. They include the Dorm Bagpiper, the Citcommentator, the Scottic, the Tartan, the Technical, and the Thistle. These are the media for expression and give valuable training to all those who are wise enough to avail themselves of it. BOOK TWO ORGANIZATIONS . . . FEATURES TAU BETA PI � .•; Marcin, Etsrl.

The purpose of Tau Beta Pi is “to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguishing scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates or by their attainments as alumni.” Candidates lor membership are first granted interviews. After these interviews, the elections are held without prejudice by the active chapter. In this way, members are chosen only on the basis of their own merits. Scholarship is the primary requisite for admission, but many other things are considered—integrity, breadth of interest both inside and outside of engineering, adaptability, and unselfish activity in campus affairs arc also considered to a large extent. Because of the expedited program, this year two groups of juniors were initiated into the Tech chapter in one semester. The seniors were admitted last spring. Juniors, to be eligible for membership in Tau Beta Pi, must be in the upper eighth of their class, and seniors, in the upper fifth. A 'fau Beta Pi issue of the Technical is published once a year. In this issue, the articles are written entirely by members of the active chapter. Tau Beta Pi is truly a distinguished organization, for its members are students who not only possess great promise as engineers, but also other worthwhile qualities. 78 PHI KAPPA PHI hi vuv Bur tii.

The organization selects its members from students in the upper tenth of the graduating classes of all three schools upon the basis of scholastic standing and character. Faculty members and alumni of classes of live or six years’ standing may also be elected to membership on the basis of outstanding qualifications. Its primary objective has been, from the first, the recognition of superior scholarship in all fields of university study, and the encouragement of mental achievements by the prize of membership. It also seeks to bind more closely the alumni to their Alma Mater, to furnish an additional lie to college friendship, and to interest its members in the promotion of a more thorough education. Supplementing the work of its chapters, Phi Kappa Phi donates its income to the annual award of fellowships for first-year graduate study, and also the erection of funds to endow the fellowships. This year, on September 26, the Society held its initiation and banquet at the College Club, at which time sixty-three students and members of the faculty were initiated. On November 15, a tea was held for the members, and later in the year, the annual dinner meeting was held. The efforts of Phi Kappa Phi arc intended to further the fulfillment of its motto “The love of learning rules the world,” taken from the Greek “Philosopha Kralci Proton. 79 SCABBARD AND BLADE IH vur: William .

OCABBARD AND BLADE, national honorary military society, is made up of R. 0. T. C. students from the Advanced Course, who have an outstanding interest in military science, and who have a good scholastic standing in all subjects. The members must also express an intention of accepting a commission in the R. 0. T. C. upon graduation, and they must take an active part in extra-curricular activities on campus. The Military Ball, sponsored by the Scabbard and Blade, was the first formal dance of the vear, and was as it alwavs has been v w • in the past, well received by the students. The features of this year’s ball were recognition of the honorary Cadet Officers, Lucille Orr, Cadet Colonel, and Louise Zonge, Cadet Lt. Colonel, and others elected by Scabbard and Blade, the calling of fifteen pledges to the society, and for pleasant dancing, the rhythm of Sliep Fields and his orchestra. The organization’s fundamental purpose, that of developing better officers and bringing the Military Department into closer contact with the students, is especially important during this period of national emergency. Members of the fraternity arc permitted to wear a red and blue bar with five gold stars on their uniforms. The Scabbard and Blade stimulates interest in military drilling by holding company competitions. Members of the champion company receive bars to be worn on their uniforms. The Scabbard and Blade is taking every possible step toward making its members competent luturc officers of our armed forces. 80 THETA TAU «� ’: I-c Hon, O'Neill, William . Rubin, Brumlettcr. 2nd.Marcin, Culbertson. White, Purcell, Phillco. W rovr: Neat, llappcl. McClure, Rupp. THETA TAU is a prominent national professional engineering fraternity. Flic Carnegie Tech chapter chooses its members from those sophomores and juniors who attain its standard of excellence in scholarship, personality, and activities. Bids for new members from eligible sophomores and juniors are given out once each semester. The annual climax of Theta Tail's activities comes when it chooses, after consulting with the faculty of the engineering school, the person to receive the Most Promising Senior Engineer Award. This award is given to that senior engineering student who, on the basis of high scholarship, outstanding personality, and prominence in activities, has shown the most likelihood of succeeding in his profession, and thus has merited such an honor. On the wall in Administration Hall hangs the plaque with the engraved names of the most prominent seniors in past years. This year the name of Max Williams will be added to this list of Carnegie’s blue blood. The fraternity's activities are not all scholarly. Last fall, Theta Tau sponsored a highly successful bridge tournament. One of the chief characteristics of Theta Tau is the binding together of its members with a bond oi friendship. In past years its members have had an opportunity to make trips to points ol interest around Pittsburgh and to go to the fraternity conventions, but these activities are necessarily being curtailed at present because of transportation difficulties. 81 Lyon.

The ' Tech chapter, Sigma, is noted as one of high scholastic standing among the various chapters scattered across the nation. It is recognized as one of the most active of Tech honoraries by the students. It is one of the older organizations on campus having been in existence eighteen years. The members are chosen from the junior and senior classes in Electrical Engineering. The honor is conferred on the basis of scholarship, merit, and personality. The fraternity boasts of many faculty members. PI TAU SIGMA I) I TAU SIGMA serves to promote interest in Mechanical Engineering. Its J members arc selected from the junior and senior Mechanical Engineering classes on the basis of engineering ability,.scholarship, personality, and probable success. Competition between upper and lower classmen is stimulated by two prizes offered each year for the best seminar speeches and for the highest sophomore factor, and bv the posting of the Honor Roll of sophomore students in Engineering Hall. flic Iota Chapter of Pi Tau Sigma has been active on the Carnegie campus for eight years and during this time has gained much renown. Cooperating with the faculty and in collaboration with the other honoraries, Pi Tau Sigma helps with the annual Exhibition Night by setting up experiments and explaining them to visitors. SCARAB SCARAB is the national honorary and professional fraternity in the Architectural Department. It began on the Carnegie campus eighteen years ago. Scarab draws its members from the upper classes and selects them on the basis of personality, scholarship, and general interest in architecture. Its chief aims are the promotion of good fellowship, achievement of the profession, and high scholarship ability. The social calendar of the Scarab fraternity for the year features an architectural design contest which is open to every member of the department. The Scarab also has banquets, picnics, and dances which are held annually to stimulate friendship among the architectural students. TAU SIGMA DELTA TAU SIGMA DELTA is a national honorary society which selects its members from the Departments of Architecture, Painting and Design, and Sculpture. Its object is to promote fellowship and high standards of study among art students, and it aims for the highest attainment in Architecture and the Allied Arts. Members arc chosen on the basis of class standing, activities, and character. It was founded at the University of Michigan in 1913 as an honorary fraternity in Architecture and Landscape Design. The Gamma Chapter at Carnegie was admitted in 1919. The fraternity sponsors an annual exhibition of work in arts and crafts. . 83 CWENS r I '’HE CWENS is the National Sophomore Honorary Society for women. From the legendary past of the Anglo-Saxons they derive their impressive traditions and rituals, one of which is the annual “Feast.” The eleventh national Wilan, or Convention, was held at our own campus with representatives from several colleges. The Cwens sponsor a joint Cwen and Scimitar tea dance, act as hostesses at the Freshman Reception, and hold Tag Days to increase the Cwen Scholarship Fund. This year especially they are enthusiastically doing volunteer work in the National Defense effort. SCIMITAR rT,HF members of the Scimitar Society, men’s Sophomore Class I fonorary, are called at Spring Carnival from members of the Freshman Class who are outstanding in athletics, extra-curricular activities, and scholastic ratings. Each year they help the Y-Cabinct and the Freshman Orientations Committee to welcome the incoming class, especially at the Corn Roast and the Dean’s Freshman Reception. Later they enforce the “plebc” regulations, and give and grade the Traditions Exam. This year, the Scimitars collaborated with the Cwens at their Tea Dance, and also at the very successful annual Soph Hop on January 25. DELTA SKULL T OR the first time in recent years only fifteen men were called into the Delta Skull Society. This society is chosen from the sophomore men who show the greatest participation in extra-curricular activities, and who also meet certain scholastic and leadership standards. Although active in other organizations, the Skulls, under the leadership of Robert Mellers, found time to add their bit to make the Tech social season a success. Their biggest event of the year was the Junior Prom. At the beginning of the second semester they began preparation and publicity which led to the annual election of the Snow Queen. INTER-HONORARY TNrERHONORAR COUNCIL, a fairly new organization on campus, came into existence in 1940. Its seventeen members, representatives of the various honorary societies on campus, meet twice a month. The purpose of the society is to develop a closer feeling of comradeship among the honor-aries and a stronger bond among the departments of the school. This year it is making plans for an all school bulletin board to be placed outside of the commons. Its activities for the year arc to be climaxed by an interhonorarv picnic to be held early in the spring. 84 row: Fclthouse. 2nd row: Dodge, Armstrong.

MORTAR BOARD rPHE aim of every woman student at Carnegie Tech is to belong to Mortar Board during her senior year. The members are chosen for their leadership in activities and service, as well as on the basis of scholastic record. Mortar Board sponsors outstanding activities on campus, such as their tea dance, the “War Stomp,” and Ensign Josephine Campbell’s discussion of the Waves. In addition, Mortar Board and Omicron Delta Kappa worked together to have a Christmas party for orphans. OMICRON DELTA KAPPA C'ARNEGIE TECH'S senior men's activities honorary, formerly known as the Dragon Society, became the olsl circle of Omicron Delta Kappa on September 19, 1942. Sixteen student members and four faculty leaders comprised the charter group of the Beta Delta Circle ofO. 1). K. The Dragon Society has been functioning for 23 years, both as a means of recognizing outstanding participation in campus activities by seniors, and as a group entrusted with the responsibility for extra-curricular events. Non-charter (). 1). K.'s now have all the privileges and advantages of belonging to the national group. alpha chi alpha ALPHA CHI ALPHA is the women's national Journalistic honorary society. Its twenty members arc selected from the stall's of various publications in recognition of one year’s meritorious work. The aim of the society is to improve the quality of the publications at Tech. Alpha Chi Alpha along with Pi Delta Epsilon, the Men’s journalistic honorary, publishes the Bard, in which appears short stories, poetry, and various ieatures selected from contributions which may be written bv any Tech student. Besides its work in the field of writing, Apha Chi Alpha sponsors many social events. At the beginning of the year a Punch Party was given for the freshmen. Each publication was represented and freshmen were given a chance to become acquainted with the functions of each. PI DELTA EPSILON PI DELTA EPSILON was founded in 1906 as a National Journalistic Honorary fraternity for the purpose of honoring students who evidenced unusual journalistic ability in those academic institutions in which journalism was not a major subject. Originally founded as a fraternity to recognize the merit of men students only. Pi Delta Epsilon now elects both men and women students to its membership. Each year the Tech chapter sponsors a contest for the best written article published in any of our publications and awards a prize at Spring Carnival to the winner 87 ! t v .'.- Munhcimcr.

The purpose of this fine organization is to raise the standard of music in the home, the community, and the nation. There are also many honorary members, chosen from the ranks of well-known and talented women musicans. This year the Tech chapter not only gave their annual closed recitals but also patriotically sponsored a very successful record drive for the soldiers' record library at Fort Belvoir. PUBLICATIONS ■■■■i THE 1943 THISTLE T X this, the second year of the war, the changes that inevitably come in A times of great national upheaval are in evidence everywhere. At Tech, the old carefree spirit is being replaced by a new sense of responsibility in uncertain times and in a rapidly changing world. We of the Thistle staff therefore feel that it is more important then ever before to put into a lasting record the school life we knew Spring Carnival, the football games, the Kilties, and the days when our greatest worry was an exam or a term paper. These are the tilings that are l ech, the things that we will want to remember and look back upon. We have here paid tribute to those of us who have already left to fight for the preservation of American democratic ideals. We have also thought it important to give recognition to those seniors who, in our opinion, have been outstanding in their contributions to the school during their four years at Carnegie. This year, because of the accelerated program and the December graduation, we have had to work harder and faster than in other years. The office was usually an apparently hopeless conglomeration of candid photographs, senior pictures, pounding typewriters, rubber cement, and harried thistle workers. Somehow everything was straightened out and under control by the final deadline. We have all enjoyed working on the thistle this year. We sincerely hope that we have accomplished our purpose, that of presenting a lasting picture of college life as we knew it, that will bring you back to the happy carefree school days. The best of luck to you—from The 1943 Thistle Staff. 90 1943 Thistle Staff Editor................ Y. Frederick Rousseau Associate Editors. .

WHEN issue number one of the Tartan’s 56th year of publication appeared the Carnegie Tech student body expected to find the standard four-page gargantua to which they were accustomed. As they searched the paper racks, they found, instead, a six-page paper, of a modern tabloid size, bearing, in crispy letters, a new banner: The Carnegie Tartan. No school seals, no complicated rules, not even the long familiar Old English banner: but six news-packed pages that combined short news stories, several new feature columns, and cartoons bv Twerv and North. According to first semester Editor, Lcn Chotiner, the accent was on more and better feature stories. The numerous announcements of teas, dances, and meetings were combined in a new column that emerged as “On the Campus.” Nevertheless, the paper continued to publish the campus information about the blood bank, war bonds and stamps, and news of Tech men and women in service. With the premature end of the first semester in December, the mcmliers ol the Tartan senior stafTcloseted themselves to elect a new staff. Melvin Snyder was given the Editor’s chair, Jeanne King took on the post of Managing 92 Editor, while Ted Nierenberg kept his old position as Business Manager. Since the old stall' fell that their editorial successors, all of whom were cither sophomores or juniors, did not have sufficient experience to assume a staff position, it was decided to form a Senior Editorial Board. The members of this board were not assigned any routine positions but alternated weekly. Like the first number of the preceding semester. Editor Mel Snyder’s first issue came out with a blaze of glory. In this paper, the old features “One of the Boys,” and “Off' the Cuff ” reveled in their new titles, respectively, “End Man on the Senior Fence,” and “Top Hat, White l ie, and Tales.” After the first paper, Business Manager Ted Nierenberg relented his position to a member of his staff, Wilbur Thomas. Just two days after Wilbur had settled down in his swivil chair, he found that those peculiar red figures, which come when advertising drops off , were popping up in his ledgers. I Icncc, the somewhat subdued Parian which has appeared during this past semester. Perhaps the financial crisis was for the best. Without a doubt, the smaller issues that appeared were packed with news from sheet to sheet. Every story which reached the Tartan columns was of vital student and faculty interest. It took a world war to do it, but Carnegie Tech finally got a newspaper that printed NEWS! TRI-PUBLICATIONS rPHE slaft of Tri-publications each year compiles and edits the student directory. It contains the names, addresses, and telephone numbers of all regularly enrolled students, lists of all fraternities, sororities, and honor-aries, and their members. The Plebe Bible, or Carnegie I landbook, is published primarily to acquaint the freshmen with the college and its activities. 11 contains all the traditions and regulations governing the actions of the students, eligibility rules, campus organizations, the athletic schedules, songs, cheers, and a calendar showing the major events of the school year. The third member of the Tri-Publications group is the Carnegie Student Song Book which is scheduled for publication every ten years. THE SCOTT IE rpECI 1'S humor magazine, the Scottie, each year achieves its aim, keeping 1 the campus laughing and up-to-date on the current school gossip. Among the innovations this year is the Fashion Notebook, which shows Tech students modeling the latest styles about the campus, and the College Victory Campaign. In each issue eight pages are devoted to the latest developments in war industry, interesting facts and oddities about the service, and the Honor Roll, which pays tribute to the most distinguished heroes among former collegians Each month the jokes, articles, pictures, cartoons, poems, and Fleas,” keep many students awake during classes and stimulate their interest in school. THE DORM BAGPIPER HPHE DORM BAGPIPER is an important force in dorm life at Tech. It furthers general campus activities as well as those in which the dorms alone participate. The members of the staff are those dorm-dwellers who are active in extra-curricular activities. The paper is a four page lithographed sheet representing every phase of dorm lile. W hile the timely picture and society columns are of primary interest to its readers, the paper reports on important activities of dorm council and other groups. On the lighter side, the gossip columns are most enlightening, and the cartoons depicting the foibles of dorm life are very amusing. There are pen and ink sketches of outstanding personalities, as well as intramural sports news. THE TECHNICAL r 1 ''I IE TECHNICAL was first published in 1930 and has been increasing in circulation ever since. It is a magazine that endeavors to present matters of lasting interest to those students and teachers involved in engineering work. Articles are contributed by undergraduates, graduates, and faculty members. Not only docs it render a service to the school by providing interesting reading on matters of contemporary technical research, but it also gives its staff valuable experience in editing and publishing a magazine. Five issues were completed this year. Included as a regular feature, was a page of news and notes on scientific and engineering societies scattered throughout the nation. The Technical s circulation is not restricted to Carnegie alone, for this publication is found in many industrial offices. 94 IjI jouj: Braden. See, Heer, Cook. 2nd vuv .Mehl. Jackson. Her-bcr. Math.

Davis for his help and guidance during our years at Carnegie. It has been a comfort to know that, regardless of the problem, there is some friend to whom we can turn. When burdened with cares or troubles, we turn to Mr. Davis with his background of experience and never fail to appreciate the wise counsel he offers. Yes, Mr. Davis has served Carnegie loyally, and we therefore pause to express to him our gratitude for his presence. ORGANIZATIONS Mi . iiim AT 7ITH a year highlighted by two trips and a debut as recording artists, ’ v the Carnegie Tech Kiltie Band stood out, in typical fashion, as the foremost proponent of school spirit on the campus. Characterized by fast marching and by their Highland Fling, the band is known to colleges all along the eastern coast. It all started back in 1910, when the Institute was known as Carnegie Technical Schools, and only three of the present day buildings were erected. For two years the band was wholly in the hands of interested students, until finally Mr. IC. F. Sullivan assumed the leadership in 1912, a position unrelinquished until his death in 1938. At that time, I)r. J. Vick O'Brien of the Music Department took over until James iMorrow, present conductor, relieved him of his duties. As a memorial to its first formal conductor, the Kiltie Band formed an honorary society, the Sully Clan, the members to be the ten outstanding men from each year’s band The recognizable feature of the Kiltie Band has been, since 1922, its uniform, a genuine importation from Scotland, the home of Andrew Carnegie. No less noticeable arc their bagpipes which produce those squeals so familiar to every Tech alumnus. 98 This year, an addition was made to the already lull program of events. A need was felt for some permanent record of the Tech songs, so it was decided to produce for tlie students and alumni a group of phonograph records containing these songs. Accordingly, after much rehearsal, the Kiltie Band and the Men’s Glee Club met on the evening of December 9, 1942, and inscribed on wax the traditional songs of our campus. The highlight of the season for the boys in the band was the annual trip. This year the occasion was the game with the University ol Builalo. I he band arrived in Builalo early Saturday morning and made the Hotel Statler its headquarters. After a short rest, they led a three-mile parade through Buffalo to the Municipal Stadium where they captured the spectators' hearts during half-time in typical Kiltie style. At night, instead of doffing their uniforms, they preferred to be of some help to the United States Treasury, and accordingly set themselves up as war stamp salesmen in front of the Great Lakes Theater. Total proceeds for (he evening amounted to $175. It would pay Tech students to notice the band particularly this year, lor it may possibly l c its last. 99 W w; Alien, McKean, Mend.

Membership is open to any student who can sing and read music with a moderate degree of proficiency. There arc no ofliccrs aside from the director. fhe choir this year has operated on an a cappclla basis. The theory is that most of the l cst protestant church music in use today is a cappclla. Activities included a full program at the St. James Evangelical Lutheran Church in Emsworth and a part in the Student Night service at the Sixth Presbyterian Church. WOMEN’S GLEE CLUB pVERY Monday afternoon and Thursday evening the halls of Margaret Morrison arc filled with the harmonious sound of women s voices—the Women’s Glee Club at its regular rehearsals. This organization is under the leadership of Mrs. Harriet Kurtz, and provides a medium of expression for many students interested in music. The glee club j crforms its varied programs of both popular and classical music for many local organizations. Its season is climaxed by the annual home concert sung with the Men's Glee Club. MEN’S GLEE CLUB THE MEN’S GLEE CLUB, consisting of sixty members, is under the direction of the faculty advisor Dr. Malcherek and student director Thomas Purcell. This year the glee club was confined chiefly to the city in its activities, among which was aiding Mount Mercy in its performance of the opera Romani Road. The glee club achieved its greatest accomplishment this year in the making of a commercial recording of school songs in cooperation with the Kiltie Band. This made available a permanent record of the songs which typify the true Tech spirit. 101 MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION h! nw; I-yon. Ditluon, Davis, Van Arxlrll, French.

COMPLETING its twenty-second year on campus, the Carnegie Tech branch of the Y. M. C. A. has made considerable strides in its task of instilling into the men more interest in Christianity, which, in these days, is more important than ever. A freshman entering Tech is immediately acquainted with the Y. M. C. A. through its outing and banquet held during Freshman Week. During the year the Y Cabinet sponsors several Chapel meetings and discussion groups, in addition to the annual Christmas and Easier dinners held in conjunction with the Women's Christian Association. The “Y” Cabinet culminates its season with a week end retreat at which new officers and memliers arc selected. rTHE CLAYMORE CLAN is a student organization composed of dormi-tory men. There are twenty members chosen from the sophomore and junior classes. The dorm men outstanding in scholorship and activities are usually members of this Clan. The purpose of this organization is to act as a social committee to plan and sponsor social events for residents of the men's dormitories. The social affairs are authorized by the Dorm Council and the Claymore Clan l cars the responsibility for making them a success. The Clan bid the graduating seniors farewell at a Formal Dinner Dance held in December. At this affair the new president William Carter and the other officers were chosen to carry on the good work of the Clan. 102 WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION «« .'

FRESIIMAN ORIENTATION COMMITTEE rvv: Mnlnii l, Mcltonilil, Junrt. rri IE purpose of the Carnegie Women’s Christian Association is to foster individual spiritual well being, and Christian character among the women students. Through the Big and Little Sister movement, tlie Association helps each Freshman girl through the difficulties of Freshman Week. The monthly dinner meetings of CAV.C.A. have interesting speakers and discussions. Frequently the Men’s Christian Association meets jointly with CAV.C.A. Together the clubs propose questions to be discussed in later meetings. The climax of the year's activities is the week end retreat in the spring, at which time new officers arc elected and plans are made for the following year’s activities. UNDER the by-laws of Student Council the Freshman Orientation Committee is set up to act as a link between freshmen, upperclassmen, and faculty. Its purpose is to get the new men off to a good start by eliminating some of the social and academic problems. Thus the committee determines freshmen regulations, recommends activities to be entered, and sponsors smokers where the men become acquainted with each other and the faculty. To.insure representation of all groups on campus, the personnel of the committee includes two men from Interfraternity Council, two from Dormitory Council, and two from Citcom Clan, plus a chairman from Student Council. Yearly reports are made to Council of the work done. 103 I row: l.«vy. Schadel, Fullerton, See, Brace, Aronson, Atkinson.

It is a philanthropic society which gives scholarships to worthy women. The group has two tag days a year, at which time it sells novelties to obtain money for these scholarships. The real high spot of the year, the Guild Dance, is held annually to raise money for the Guild activities. The gym becomes a madhouse for days before the dance, with people building, painting, and decorating booths. This unique dance is enjoyed by everyone because of the originality of the booths and the gala atmosphere. ALPHA PHI OMEGA ALPHA Pill OMEGA, one of the few service fraternities on Carnegie Tech's campus, is a comparatively new organization. The Kappa Chapter here at Tech is one of the most active of the fraternity, and it is destined to become a moving force on campus. Membership in Alpha Phi Omega is limited to former members ol the Boy Scouts of America. Before the opening of the 1942-45 school year, the members of Alpha Phi Omega acted as guides to strangers on the campus by showing them the places of interest at Carnegie Tech. They have operated a second-hand bookstore, established checking service at the plays given on the campus, and at present they arc building an open fireplace near the Carnegie Union for the use of all Tech students. WOMEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION SOMETHING new has been added to the W. A. A. this year, and that is intramural sports for the girls in Margaret Morrison and Fine Arts. All sororities, clubs, departments, dormitories, and other such groups, may organize a team and participate in one of the many sports offered—basketball, bowling, tennis, ping pong, badminton, hockey, and volleyball. Points are awarded to the winning team, and that team which has accumulated the most points at the end of the season is awarded a cup. Certain hours of practice must be spent by each team before they are permitted to play an official game for points. 105 1st � uv Hilton, Sunsrri, Chuoronilj1, McCarthy. ParUt. InJ Oarlock.

War Committee, appointed by President Doherty late in September of this year, had duties described as follows: “Its responsibilities are to study and make recommendations to the administration regarding matters relating to defense activities on the campus, and to carry out any specific assignments that may, from time to time, be delegated to it.’’ The War Committee personel consists of members from the student body, the administrative staff, and the faculty. Its work is carried on through several sub-committees. The sub-committee on First Aid is supervising the campus First Aid classes, sponsoring the Blood Bank drive for the Red Cross, and working with the Civilian Defense organization on the campus to maintain our medical and First Aid centers at a high peak of Efficiency. The sub-committee on Air Raid Protection is continuing its advisory work and sponsoring classes for Air Raid Wardens. The committee on American Unity is working on plans to help make students and the community more aware of the problems invloved in winning the war. The committee on Conservation is working to collect scrap and to learn what can be done to conserve on all essential materials. A special group of students to promote the sale of War Bonds and Stamps among the student body has been active since the first of the school year. Under its supervision, each campus organization has been taking charge of the sale of stamps for a few weeks. 106 STUDENT COMMITTEE A Student War Activities Committee known on campus as the SWAC was formed later in the year to further the important work of the C. I. 'I'. War Committee. The members of this group were selected from the major organizations on campus. Another group composed exclusively of students conducted a book drive to gather reading material for our armed forces. This same group collected copper for the war industries with a penny drive. The committee as a whole meets once a month to assure synchronization of the various groups, 'flic faculty cooperates to further the work of the War Committee by diverting a generous portion of their salaries to the purchase of War Bonds. Much artistic talent found expression in the war posters about the campus. The beneficial effect created by the art committee through these posters was seen by the enthusiasm stimulated in the student body toward the war effort. A prize contributed by a coalition of Interfraternitv Council, Intersororitv Council, Corm Council, and the faculty members of the War Activities Committee for the greatest number of War Stamps sold went to Interfraternity Council. Dr. Chworowsky as acting head gave unselfishly of his time and assistance to the work of the committee, and contributed much to its success. 107 CITCOM CLAN McNair, John on, Dcmixcy, R«� . Me Icy.

The purpose of the Clan is to assist the commuter to live a fuller college life by encouraging him to take a greater interest in campus activities. So far it has been a great success scholastically, athletically, politically, and socially. This year the Clan has been especially active. Present plans include an outstanding Citcom-Dorm dance and a “Citcom-Pittcom” dance to be co-sponsored by the Clan and the Pitt commuters. Politically, it has contributed a great deal to the adoption of proportional representation in Tech’s student government. Its monthly magazine, the Citcommcntator, and its newspaper, the Commuter, are rapidly becoming more important on campus. These are only a few of the activities of Citcom Clan— lech’s new and ever growing commuters’ organization. 108 FEATURES CAMPUS QUEEN of (lie many popular and well-known girls on campus, Louise Zonge is perhaps one of the most outstanding and well-liked of all the Tech sweethearts. Because of her popularity she was elected Campus Oucen for the Fall Carnival and Honorary Lt. Colonel at the Military Ball. She was president of her Senior Class in Margaret Morrison, a voting member of Student Council, and a prominent member of Intersorority Council. “Weezie with all her other activities, is also an active member of Gamma Phi Sigma sorority. Her delightful personality and charming manner will aid her in her future life. LOUISE Z O N G E H. NELSON CROOKS Nelson Crooks has achieved a noteworthy record for himself at Carnegie. As evidence of his scholastic achievements, we need only look at his placement on the honor roll and the fact that he was elected to Tau Beta Pi in his junior vear. Not all one sided were Nelson's activities and interests, lie was Editor of the Thistle, and an outstanding member of the Tech soccer team. He also served as President of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and as a cadet captain in the R. 0. T. C. Because of his interest in general campus activities, he was elected to three class honoraries and to Omicron Delta Kappa. 112 LUCILLE ORR Because of her prominent part in Tech activities, her scholastic record, and her personal charm, Lucille Orr is an outstanding member of her class. Her activities include membership in Cwens, Alpha Chi Alpha, and Mortar Board. She also served as Associate Editor ol the Thistle and as Secretary of Student Council. Her popularity is evidenced by the fact that she was elected Snow Queen at Junior Prom, a member of the Queen’s Court at Fall Carnival, and R. O. T. C. Honorary Cadet Colonel at Military Ball. These enviable achievements have made her an outstanding and well-liked figure at Carnegie. 113 JOHN C. VAN ARSDELL, Jr. The class of 1943, and especially the Electrical Engineers, arc justly proud of Jack Van Arsdell. 11 is record of activities, as well as scholarship, is one to he envied and followed. As President of Student Council and a charter member of Omicron Delta Kappa, Slip” was one of the most active boys on campus. To the wonder of all, he somehow found time to be a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity, Tau Beta Pi, Eta Kappa Nu, Phi Kappa Phi, Delta Skull, Men's Glee Club, and to l e the President of Y. M. C. A. We will always rememlxjr Slip” as being one of the most active and well-liked students at Carnegie. 114 allan t. McDonald Allan McDonald was elected to tills tribunal because of his outstanding abilities as a leader. During his junior year, A1 was Vice-President of both A. I. Ch. E. and Citcom Clan. In his senior year he was President of the Engineering Senate, Vice-President of Student Council, and President of Intramural Board. A1 participated in all intramural sports. Me was also a member of S. A. M. E. and Tail Beta Pi. It is greatly to Al’s credit that he financed himself the entire four years. Me refused an appointment to West Point to continue his studies here, and upon graduation entered the Army of the United States. 115 MAX L. WILLIAMS, Jr. The statement which is often made that Carnegie Tech commuters do not participate in school activities is certainly not true of Max L. Williams. Theta Tau chose this popular Techite as the “Most Promising Senior Engineer.” Although Editor of the Technical he still had time to perform his duties as President of Interhonorarv Council, Vice-President of the Senior Class, and member of Citcom Clan executive board. Max has also been active in Tau Beta Pi, Scabbard and Blade, Phi Kappa Phi, and Omicron Della Kappa. And so we now honor this outstanding student -Max L. Williams. 116 ROBERT W. REISACHER Honoraries, politics, athletics, and social life were all a big part of Bob's live years at Tech. As Kditor of the Scottie he did a great deal to make it a better humor magazine. He was a member of Scimitar, Delta Skull, and President of 0. I). K. lie was also President of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and played on many of its intramural teams. As chairman of the 1942 hall Carnival, Bob can claim much credit for its success. I le was also a member of both Interfraternity and Student Council. His elTorts in behalf of Carnegie Tech have made him an outstanding member of his class. 117 FESTIVE Ain't love grand? Spring carnival Sa-av, Roy Bet lie’s snoring!

Even with fresh-mren on the loolball team, it made a quite passable showing, and the various other teams have done well enough. The Reserve Officers' Training Corps did not, however, suffer a dearth of eligible men; instead its quota had to be substantially increased, and the basic unit was splitting at the seams. Intramural competitions suffered not in the least, and the various winning teams had played long and well. The Navy and Army requirements for physical education have expanded gymnasium classes almost beyond the capacities at hand. It is unquestionable that as Army and Navy units establish themselves in colleges throughout the country, the physical education will become a larger and more integral part of college training. BOOK THREE RESERVE OFFICERS TRAINING CORPS F O () T B A L L r H E r I 1 EC I IS head coach, I)r. Edward B. Baker, better known 1 on campus as “Eddie” has served in that capacity since February 1939. He is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh, and as a student lie was outstanding in the field of athletics. 1 Ie was a brilliant passer and kicker, one of the best field generals in Pitt's experience, and for a man who weighed less than 170 pounds, he backed up a line with an efficiency that more than made up for his lack of heft. I Ie was captain of the 1930 team and played in a Rose Bowl game. In his senior year he was a member of the A11-East team. He coached Pitt's backficld under Dr. Sutherland for six years, and following that he served as assistant to Bill Kern for three years. When Kern resigned, Dr. Baker was the natural choice for head coach. During his four years in this capacity he was well liked both by the fellows on the team and the student body, who regret losing him to the Navy. 126 SEASON . . ftw wiK Fiilinun, manager. Baklan.

They seemed to be much stronger than the usual teams were during the past several years, since many of the veterans from last years squad returned and the freshman eligibility rule was dropped due to war necessity. As an abrupt change in policy, due partially, at least, to last years “I want a Team” drive on the part of the students, the Steffens’ fund was re-established to grant football scholarships; over-ruling the previous de-emphasis of “commercial football. As a result, several fine freshmen came to Tech to bolster the squad. The entire team improved rapidly from their first summer practice, and they showed great promise. However, in Geneva, our first opponent, we ran up against an unusually strong team, and were badly beaten 26-0 before four thousand stunned fans. Our line was ho| elessly outclassed, and it required only four minutes for the Geneva backs to march 61 yards and their first score. Throughout the remainder of the game they ripped through our line incessantly, scoring three more touchdowns before the final gun sounded.

Bums Kamscv Puroefi Neumann The second game was a hit of revenge against Westminster for we succeeded in handing them a smashing defeat, 26-0. It seemed that Tartans had really hit their stride as they brought forth all of the pep and power which has made I ech teams famous. This fall was one of many ups-and-downs for Skibo rooters, and upon returning from their emphatic victory at New Wilmington, they returned to the Stadium for just as emphatic a defeat at the hands of a superior, and much heavier team from Case School of Applied Science from Cleveland. The boys fought desperately but it was to no avail for they lost 24-6. At Grove City the boys administered a 19-6 beating to the opponents on an extremely muddy field. Again the following week, the Tarlains seemed to have that old spirit when they conquered Buffalo 27-14. The season ended on a muddy gridiron at the Stadium with Tech on the short end of a 19-6 score against Pitt. Although the Techites lost the game, they fought like the old Tartans, holding the Blue and Gold even until the last quarter. The line stopped drive after drive, but Tech finally weakened after the loss ol such players as Byers, Jones, Lindberg, and Pantell. It was then that Pitt scored their first touchdown. Pitt came back to the Tech four-yard line where the Scot line charged hard, and Purcell was able to block an attempted pass by Bill Dutton. Donnie Burns realized the greatest moment of his playing career when he grasped the ball and ran 60 yards for our only touchdown. Never giving up. Tech started another drive late in the game when Jack McLaughlin completed seven out of eleven passes for 60 yards, but the attack was halted on the Pitt 30-yard line. Tech's football team can be beaten, but its spirit can never be stopped. I Ie’s off! Bad Day Doc. Baker Find yourself Blow! Blow!

Their season opened on October 17 with a game lost to Geneva. In the next contest, Skibo’s eleven tallied their first win since 1940 by defeating Allegheny, 1 to 0. For the third game, the Carnegie team met Penn Institute for the Deaf, and went down fiuhting against a powerful team with a final score ol 2 to 3. Oberlin, the next opponent, took a 1 point lead early in the game and held it against a furious Tech assault. T he last game of the season proved to be a heartbreaker; the Skibo eleven battled valiantly against a more powerful Slippery Rock team, whose passing and teamwork outclassed that of the Carnegie hooters. Outstanding players on this year’s team were linemen Yarn, Schwartz, Smith, Crooks, Lindgren, and Fritz. As goalie Jack Sherwood played consistently good ball. The prospects for next year’s team are quite bright, since several promising underclassmen were represented on the 1942 Varsity. 130 CROSS COUNTRY rrHE cross country season of 1942 which was to end so successfully, l cgan with the opening of the fall term. For over a month before the first meet, the candidates could be seen doing their stuff on the Schenley oval. On October 23, the date of the first meet. Tech’s harriers proved equal to the task of defeating Westminster 27-28 in a close match run at Tech. The next week found the team meeting and beating Bethany College by a score of 23-32. It may be here noted that in scoring cross country meets, the low score is the winning one. On November 6 the Tech squad journeyed to Geneva and proceeded to win overwhelmingly the final match of the season 19-36. At a banquet following the season, letters were awarded to the following men: Bill Beamer. Ben Puchaski, Paul Rotzler, Captain Ben Marcin, Fred Kelsey, John Greene, and Manager Philip Rose. Paul Rotzler was unanimously elected Captain of the 194.5 team. The team, coached by Guy Halferty, proved to be the most successful in recent years, having three wins and no defeats. Coach Hal forty's freshman proteges enjoyed a highly successful season. October sixth saw them defeat Schenley High 17-58. On successive weekends, Langley, Central, and South Hills fell Ik fore the frosh. The Numeral winners, Fred Kelsey, John Greene, Arthur Alexander, Robert Teasdale, Edward Bell, and Manager K. Roll showed promise of providing excellent varsity material for the 1943 season. 131 SWIMMING ftrw: Sp«i� lcr, Donahue, Cibiiin; Wcnid. rlcck. 2nd ro� r: Kyman, Magcl, Smith. L« , Berko wit . Veneer.

We were faced with a difficult schedule since many of the smaller teams had dropped off our schedule. Since there were only two Ictlermen on the squad, the team had to depend largely on the freshmen and sophomores for its strength. The season proved very enjoyable for the team however. They had two trips, one to Penn State and another to Cleveland. Their season was climaxed and fittingly concluded by their only win in a return meet with Western Reserve when they more than made up for their previous defeat. Chris Smith captained the team since Johnny Dowd became ineligible. I lie most enjoyable event of the year was the annual party given by Coach Risedorph for the whole team. 132 RIFLE l lruuv I.yon.

It is comprised of ten members selected by their best preceding scores. Last year they had a fair season, winning thirty-five out of sixty matches. Although a full team was lost at graduation, prospects for this season are bright. Max Williams was appointed captain and Charles Snyder manager. Although freshmen are not allowed in varsity competition, they are given ample time to practice under the capable supervision of Sergeant Sommers. In addition to valuable training and experience, all members receive letters for participation in this unusual extra-curricular activity. 133 BASKETBALL TT 7ITH high morale ami expectant hopes, the Carnegie Cagemen began a Y season that was to turn into a hard luck parade of basketball games. A difference of one or two points often spelled victory or defeat, more frequently the latter. However, the spirit of the team is something to be commended, along with the excellent backing of the student body. The team opened by defeating a highly favored Wavnesburg quintet by a score of 58 to 53. Case was the next foe and managed to eek out a slim 52 to 50 defeat over us. They dropped the next two to Pitt, our arch rival, and Penn State, one of the leading teams in our district, by scores of 44 to 38 and 35 to 53. St. Vincent was taken on and defeated, at Latrobe, by a count of 55 to 34. We defeated Westminster by the surprising score of 46 to 38. Washington and Jefferson handed us a 53 to 30 drubbing. Following this setback, Tech bounced back with an earthquaking defeat over undefeated Allegheny, squelching them to the tune of 49 to 47. The Tartans lost all they had gained and dropped into the losers column for the remainder of the season, with four wins and twelve defeats. However, Brinn, Marck, Meyer, Showman, Smith, DeBortoli, and Culbertson arc all to be congratulated on their excellent effort, with the able assistance of Coach Maxie Uannum. 134 TRACK AND TENNIS rPHl£ Carnegie Tech track team had a highly successful season last spring, -I winning all live of its dual meets. Coach Guy Malferty's charges defeated. in order, Westminister, 87-39, Allegheny, 70-56, Geneva, 76-%-54-%, Bethany, 114-12, and Grove City, 75-51. All of the meets were held in the lech Bowl, except the one with Geneva at Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. In addition, the team placed in the District Inter-collegiate Championships, its score of 49-being only a shade behind the victorious Shippensburg Teachers' 50-%. The Carnegie Tech tennis team, coached by Prof. B. P. Hoover, had a fairly good season last spring, winning four matches and losing the same number. After losing the first match of the season to Oberlin by a score of 8-1, the Plaid came back to defeat Grove City, 5-4, and Westminster, 6-3, in quick succession. From that point on, the season was up and down. Following a loss at the hands of Allegheny, 6-3, the Tcchites swarmed over Geneva, 19-0, but then lost to Navy by the same score. Slippery Rock was Tech’s final victim by a score ol 9-0, after which the Tartans dropped their final match with Pitt bv a close 5-4 score. 135 ootbal, p( Spectators Zoot suits PiKA's Watch the ball The cut The hat School sport Buckin the line Break it up Base ball diamond Steve Ilarwig on the court Publicity The Stadium 136 INTRAMURALS rJ''HE intramural program at Tech this year weathered the storm better than most expected. It was thought by some that intramural sports would fold up due to the early graduation of seniors, but the underclassmen have kept it going in excellent style. An increase in interest can be shown by the fact that there were approximately 700 students that participated and half of these were doing so for the first time. In determining the different leagues, the names of all teams entered were placed in a hat and the first three drawn were in league I, second three were in League 11, etc. As lor the sports themselves, football was the first. The leaders in the three leagues were the Zoots (an independent group), the Beta Sigs, and the Pi K. A s. 1 he Pi K. A. s won the Championship in a not too difficult playoff. Somlhing new that was just instituted this year was the system of playoffs. The Championship of each sport was played off bv a round robin, meaning each league winner plays every other league winner. Basketball was the sport most hotly contested. After hard lights in their leagues, the Sigma Nus, I). U.’s, and Citcom A came through on top. In the playoffs the I). U.’s defeated the Sigma Nus by a score of 58-11. and the Citcom A by a score of 52-21. 1 he scores, how- ever, arc not truly representative of the difficult time the I). U.’s had in defeating the other two league winners. New this year was the obstacle course, which proved to be one of the big sports on campus during the spring term. I he Managers’ Club awarded a Sportsmanship Trophy to the club receiving the most points from their opponents. Each team rated the other teams it played on the basis of a 100 points. I he season ended very satisfactorily by the awarding of the all sports. , � «'.- KUcr. Vwli, Mcdnick. Baucll. I.imlbcr . William . I NT R AM UR AL ORG ANIZATION THAT a healthy hotly makes a healthy mind is a sound hit ol philosophy, the students at Carnegie Tech now realize. The Greek ideal of an opportunity for every man to perfect himself in some sport has been closely approached. Evidence ol this is the fact that there is not strong emphasis on any one sport to the exclusion ol all others; on the contrary, as long as there is enthusiasm, there is a sport. The intramural Board is composed of eight students, representing all of the organizations participating in the Intramural program of sports. As the governing body, the Board acts on the proposals of the team representatives or managers. In addition, the Board acts as the administrative body in awarding trophies to winning teams and determining the purpose ol the program. As the direct representatives of the organizations participating in the program, the Managers' Club, composed of one representative from each organization, proposes all rule changes, schedules, addition of new sports, or any business it considers worthy, to the Intramural Board. The Managers' Club is charged with the responsibility ol regulating the schedules and the teams participating. In addition, this year the Managers' Club will publish a booklet in which the Carnegie Intramural program will lie fully staled and explained. 138 Over the top Get that ball Watch the birdie Move it over Now let’s light 139 R.

DECAUSE our nation is engaged in mortal conflict, and because tlie country needs skillful engineers to lead its armies, the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps at C.I.T, has assumed the happy position of a tail which is wagging the dog. It was not so many years ago that the Military Department at Tech was an impoverished relation, as is to be expected when a great democracy dozes contentedly at peace. Foresighted students began to realize the shape of things to come in September, 1940, for at that time the basic R.O.T.C. enrollment was unusually large. Since then, the enrollment has steadily increased as the United States switched to a wartime basis. To make room for men in the Advanced Corps, a large increase in the quota was obtained and waivers were given to some men for slight physical defects. Now the entire R.O.T.C. unit at Tech is composed of over 800 men. Since the present (as of December) seniors attended the expedited classes last summer, they have not attended the six weeks of camp prerequisite to obtaining a Reserve commission. This they will do after graduation, and shall, upon successful completion of that period, receive their Reserve commissions as Second Lieutenants in the army of the United States. Since the senior cadet officers will graduate at Christmas time, a most unusual situation arises. Vacancies left bv them must be filled by men from the junior class a semester ahead of schedule. This requires the juniors to work faster, and be really energetic in their military studies. 142 ihe world may be free HERE AN A LONG with many other col-v leges, Tech boasts of its obstacle course. The name of the designer of this course lias been carefully hidden, presumably to save him from irate students, but Captain Shaffer is suspected of knowing more than he tells. This muscle - building, tendon - tearing group of obstacles includes walls to be scaled, hurdles to be jumped, barriers to dodge, and ropes to climb. Other devices, outmoded since the Spanish Inquisition, are prominently on display for the use of all. 144 D THEN IN DISTANT LANDS In Rank Obstacle Ape-men Review First battaliion . . . . two-three-tour— Militia Spring parade Sgt.

Company competition was won by Company II, J. Curry, cadet Captain, Company II, and all men in that company received merit bars. Since all rifles, except a few Garands, are gone, tlie manual of arms is, for the time, gone too. But it is not forgotten—the snap of the slings at Port, Arms! and the clicking bolts of Inspection, Arms!” -and it is to be hoped that other rifles will soon be available. The new P.M.S. T., Colonel Fred T. Bass, has his department functioning well. I Iis efficient stall includes Ft.

The effective Miss Williams is still secretary, and five new men were added to the staff at the beginning of the year. They are sergeants McCartney, Oistcr, and Butler, and Corporals Burgess and Sciacca. In the school years 1916-17 to 1940-41, Tech has had 658 of its men commissioned in the Corps of Engineers. To date, the Signal Corps has 186 men to its credit. Tech ranks fourth in the country from a list of 55 colleges and universities for production of Engineer officers between the previously mentioned years. Throughout this war and after its armistice, the R.O.T.C. men will keep 'em flying, floating, and marching! 147 FRATERNITIES SORORITIES FOUR is devoted to the fraternities, sororities, and the milorics. This section personifies the heart and pulse of le college. For it is in these houses and dorms that the student makes his close friends; it is here that he learns to take what others can give. ■'Man, Darwin once expostulated, “is a gregarious animal.” We think oi man as a euphoneously sociable creature rather than a gregarious one, but whatever the case. Tech's dorms, fraternity houses, and sorority rooms provide more than enough chance for sociability. Perhaps as you look over your book you will forget the less pleasant aspects of college life. The hours of study, the water lights, the just plain lights will gradually be forgot. The good times, the companionship, the comradeship, these things will remain; they will take you back to the days when responsibilities were light. Go ahead now, look for old friends; and if their names won't quite form on the end of your tongue, the Thistle boys and girls have them all listed for you. Happy reminiscing!

This year, under the apt guidance of Dave Ross and Assistant Dean of Men A. J. Murphy, Interfraternity Council was gifted with more than average success. Most outstanding feature of the year was the change to representation by fraternity presidents. Swifter and more direct action can be taken to solve problems and smooth out difficulties. Interfraternity Council has attempted to build up a keen sense of rivalry among the houses by sponsoring trophies for competitive activities. Every year a trophy is awarded for the best intramural record, scholarship record, and for improvement in the appearance of fraternity houses. Competition is keen and the winning of these trophies is prized highly. This year, as its contribution to the war effort. Interfraternity Council sold war bonds and stamps. Council outsold all other organizations on campus and was rewarded for its effort with a twenty-five dollar war bond. Highlight of Council's social year was the Interlraternity Formal, which was accredited to be one of the best dances of the year, outshone only by Fall Carnival. Ill rough the earnest efforts of its members, Interfraternitv Council has fast been gaining prestige on campus and has been raised to a place of prominence in school activities. nw: Cullcy, Ro� , Wilton, Kvaiu. 2nJ m-v IIuMm.

Then followed a scries of social events, including midnight suppers after the Military Ball and the Fall Carnival, Homecoming Dance, and the Christmas Pledge Dance, which was combined with a farewell ball tor the seniors. Among the social events planned for the future are a s| ecial dinner for the new initiates and their fathers, a number of dances with various sororities, and other informal dances; all of which lead up to the highlight of the social calendar, the Spring Formal. Alpha Tau Omega was especially honored by being host to the five heroes of the United Nations. Aside from the social events, Alpha Taus were active in numerous other campus activities. We have among our members the President of the Senior Class, Secretary of the Sophomore Class, President of Pi Tau Pi Sigma, and the Social Chairman of Student Council. Others were active in Scabbard and Blade, Dragon Society, Alpha Phi Omega, Pi Tau Sigma, Glee Club, Chorus, Orchestra, and numerous dance committees. On the athletic side. Alpha Tau Omega was well represented on the football, swimming, cross-country, basketball, track, tennis, and rifle squads, besides being very active in the intramural sports program. 1 , w: Taher, Bovd.

NCE again the fraternity of Beta Sigma Rho has reaffirmed its belief in the principles of fraternalism and in the bonding together of men with similar interests. In reviewing the year, Beta Sigma Rho can say that it was a very satisfactory one. The pledging season saw 23 men don the pin of the staff and sword of Beta Sigma Rho. On campus there were men on the business and editorial staff's of the Tartan, in executive positions on the Technical, in the Glee Club, on the Debating Team, the Intramural Board, the Freshmen Orientation Committee, and the C.I.T. War Committee. Among the honorary fraternities that counted Beta Sigs as their members were Eta Kappa Xu, Pi Tau Sigma, Alpha Phi Omega, Theta Tau, and Phi Kappa Phi. Outstanding examples of Beta Sigma Rho's participation in student government and extracurricular activities are such men as Dave Ross, past president of I. F. Council; Jack Hoenig, president of Eta Kappa Xu; Dave Brinn, captain of the Basketball Team; and Xewson Shcwitz, budget chairman of Student Council. In athletics, Beta Sigma Rho had men on the varsity football, basketball, soccer, fencing, cross country, and swimming teams and took league championships in intramural bowling and table tennis.

BETA THETA PI AMMA IOTA of Beta Theta Pi started the year by pledging fourteen men. After an expedited plcdgeship, they were initiated and honored at the traditional “dorg” on November 8. With graduation coming in December, the Chapter bid farewell to its Seniors on December 18 at the University Club with an informal dance, one of the Christmas season’s bright spots. The beginning of the second semester marked many changes. Upon the graduation of the Seniors, the management of the house was put into the hands of the underclassmen. Although the majority of the brothers were in various reserves, conscription reduced the number of actives considerably. On February 7, ten men were pledged, but even this group felt the pinch of the war, for one of them left for the Air Corps the day after he was formally pledged. In spite of the draft, rationing, and general unrest among college students. Gamma Iota is maintaining its high standards. At the end of the first semester the scholastic factor of the boys in (he house was one ol the highest of all the groups on campus. The chapter is planning to meet all the unusual problems of maintaining a fraternity during war. The alumni of Gamma Iota may rest assured that the Chapter will continue on the Tech campus as strong as ever. _ Wallace, Dlrliion, Loren . MaeDonnhl, Wilton, Crooln, Up«, Kin .

A T EMBERS of the Delta Iieta Chapter of Delta Tau Delta started the year off with a bang when fourteen freshman were pledged. The pledge class showed that they were fully able to live up to the social standards set up be their predecessors by holding a very enjoyable costume Pledge Dance. Other highlights of the banner social season were seen in the big parties after football games, the Winter Formal, the Spring Formal, and the customary stag parties. Yrerv successful tea dances and bullet suppers were given in the Delta Shelter for some of the sororities so that the actives and pledges might become better acquainted with the campus beauties. These informal affairs seem to be as popular with the girls as with the boys, and have proved to be the start of many new friendships. The Delts didn't stop with a good social year, but went on to continue their name in the school's various activities. There are Dells on the football team and Student Council. 5020 Alorewood Place also maintains the cheerleaders and editorship of the Tri-Publications. The Delts are proud of winning the Greek Sing and Swing, because it is in an event such as this that fraternity spirit is really shown. Jack Woodside followed George Van Xort at mid-year as the president of the Delts. Both did a creditable job in making Delta Tau Delta more prominent on the Tech campus. DELTA TAU DELTA hi nwr: Henry.

Delta Epsilon continued to add more to its collection this year. Although hindered by the loss of some of its brothers to the Army and Navy, Delta Upsilon still maintained its high position among the other fraternities on the Tech campus, both scholastically and athletically. The brothers of the Gold and Blue began the school year with a well-planned rushing program. This was followed by the social season which included such events as a scavenger hunt, a hay ride, a barn dance, and numerous buffet suppers. Many informal house dances were held, helping to round out the season. The pledge class showed great spirit by the manner in which they ducked the seniors. Delta Upsilon was well represented this year, not only in the Omicron Delta Kappa, Delta Skull, and Scimitar Societies, but also in Tau Beta Pi. Pi Tau Sigma. Pi Delta Epsilon, Scabbard and Blade, Alpha Phi Omega, and the Sully Clan, all distinguished school honoraries.

'T'M IK past year saw Kappa Sigma maintain its place among the A justly proud fraternities on (lie Tech campus. Seeing the need for a better balanced social program at Tech, it instituted the Annual Kappa Sigma Formal Dance for all its friends. The social program for the year included such informal affairs as a Come-as-you-are” party, the annual Kid Party, an Orphans' Christmas Party, and the Spring Formal held at the South Hills Country Club. While the regular buggy race was not held at Spring Carnival, Kappa Sigma added to its collection a seventh buggy race trophy at the Jalopy Race at Fall Carnival. The individual members of Kappa Sigma distinguished themselves in a wide range of campus activities. The President of Student Council, President of the “Y” Cabinet, President of the Charter Dragon Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa, and Sports Editor of the Tartan this year were all Kappa Sigs. In athletics, the letter men included six in football, live in swimming, and three in track, in addition to members of the soccer, basketball, tennis, rifle, and golf teams. In class honoraries, there were three Kappa Sigs in the Scimitar, Della Skull, and Omicron Delta Kappa Societies respectively. Among other scholastic honoraries, four Kappa Sigs were in Tau Beta Pi and four were in Phi Kappa Phi. Positions high in the leadership of the campus have given the Kappa Sigmas justifiable pride in their record of the past year. KAPPA SIGMA Van Andrll, Newman. Wallin,.

PHI KAPPA OH I KAPPA, a national fraternity for Catholic men, is in its A eighteenth year of existence. The Rho Chapter was founded on the Carnegie Tech campus in 1925. Phi Kappa was represented in campus activities by brothers who participated in Student Council, the honorary societies, and athletics, both varsity and intramural. Phi Kap teams were entered in every sport competition. The touch football and the basketball teams were prominent contenders for the coveted trophies. Both teams finished in second place in their respective divisions. Phi Kaps are letter men of the varsity football, basketball, swimming, and track teams. Phi Kappa experienced another highly successful social season. After a season of parties, picnics, and house dances during the rushing season, twenty-five men became proud pledges of Phi Kappa. The pledges did their part in making the social program a success by staging a Gay Nineties costume party. A Christmas party and many other notable events followed, flic highlight of the social season was the annual formal held at Webster Hall. 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 conditions which exist today. 111 Mr: SWjnan. Magnotti. Gilleepie. Cantbal. Quinn.

Beta Sigma chapter rounds out the twenty-second year of its existence as a national fraternity at Carnegie Institute of Technology. Under the banner, “Alma Mater first, and Pi Kappa Alpha for Alma Mater,” the charges look with pride on a long record of harmonious and friendly achievements in activities, scholarship, and social functions. Although scholarship has precedence over social and inter-fraternity activities. Pi K A’s have by no means neglected these avenues to culture and relaxation. This year the standards of Pi K A in activities and honorary socitics have been well maintained. The president of Scimitar Society, and members of both Scimitar Society and O.D.K. are to be found among the brothers. Scabbard and Blade Society has been directed by another, assisted by several house members of both the junior and senior classes. Those sports traditionally popular at the Institute are favorites with the chapter. Various activities during rushing season, including a successful hayride. Pledge Party, and Summer Formal, coupled with early morning breakfasts after the more significant school formats have contributed to a thoroughly enjoyable social season. Through these associations and activities, Pi Kappa Alpha has established a strong bulwark in that all important phase ol life which deals with a man’s character a character largely developed through the temper of his youthful associations.

The chapter here at Carnegie Tech is one of one hundred thirteen spread throughout forty-four states. Founded in the south in 1856, LAE was almost destroyed by the Civil War, but survived to expand to its present proportions. This year, the chapter includes twenty-six active members. Eleven of these graduated in December, but seventeen pledges were initiated almost simultaneously. During the earlier part of the year, Larry Moorman held the Presidential office, but retired in favor of John Klein. Both of these boys graduated early and Edmund Warner was then elected to the position. Members of Sigma Alpha Epsilon are active in many extracurricular activities. Some of them hold positions on the football, basketball, swimming, track, and rifle teams and have formed teams to compete in every major intramural sport. Others turn their interests elsewhere on the Tech campus. Six members of the famous Carnegie Kiltie Band and fourteen are in the Men’s Glee Club; members work on the staffs of the Thistle and nearly all other publications. This year, due to the expedited program, leisure time was short. In spite of all this, LAE found time for several dances including a number of the tea dances for which they are noted about the campus. ■ ltt re ': Grunt, l)«vi«, Dunfcc, Klcffnian, Bokmnn.

Its ranks have Ixien depleted by Selective Service boards, war plants, etc. Many members and alumni are serving to keep this land a place where such institutions as Tech may exist. Seven brothers graduated and eleven men were pledged. Actives and pledges are working together to elevate Sigma Xu to a higher position than it occupied before in campus life. In the realm of school activities. Sigma Xu claims “Hank” Holds, former captain of Tech’s football and basketball teams; John Beatty, Vice-president ol Engineering Senate and ex-officio chairman of school elections; and John Henry Childs, Scimitar and social chairman of Interfraternity Council. Sigma Xu held a tea lor freshmen girls, a formal dinner on the evening of the Interfraternity Formal, several house parties, and a memorable rushing dance. The pledge class gave their annual dinner dance for the active members. Although Sigma Xu’s intramural football record was poor, at the time of this writing the brothers entertain high hopes of a victorious basketball team and look forward to bowling and soft-ball competition. For the most part, the past year has been good to Sigma Xu. anti the future is bright. IjI nttr: Miller. Wright. Schiller. Brewer, Prangooli . 2nJ raw: Woollctt. Monncn, Polygon, l.ctdigh. K� |«Inn.

TAU DELTA PHI A S (he members of Tau Della Phi round out their first year at their new house on Walnut Street, they can point with pride to the large number of new men who will carry on the spirit of the fraternity through these war years. Several actives hold important positions in the leading student organizations, such as Editor of the Tartan, President of the Junior Class, Secretary of the Senior Class, and Assistant Treasurer of Student Council. Other 'fau Delts are members of the Kiltie Band, the Della Skull and Dragon honorarics, and are managers of the football and swimming teams. A successful social season which included a tea for freshmen women, several novelty dances, and wide participation in intramural athletics rounded out the Tau Delts’ thirteenth year at Carnegie Tech. In the past year, a necessary and natural change in thoughts has come into the minds of the Tau Delt men. This of course has been brought about by the present war situation. Although they have participated in most all extra-curricular activities, nevertheless they have not shut their eyes to the outside world, and the turmoil of World War II. Tau Delta Phi has adapted itself to this new environment. The actives arc for the most part in the Reserved Officers’ Training Corps, United States Naval Reserve, Enlisted Reserve, or Air Corps Reserve. til rote: Opnenlicim, Sher. Kaplan, Wander.

Dirkinmn CARNEGIE’S oldest national fraternity chapter entered its second period of war-time existence with a year of major changes and adjustments. Of these, by far the most important has been the steady flow of Theta Xi undergraduates and alumni from “civics” to uniform. An unparalled example is the Theta Xi graduating class ol December, 1942, of whose number half-are serving with either the Army or tlie Navy. To say that Theta Xi has hung out the “Business as Usual” sign would be an error. “Business Almost as Usual” sign would be more appropriate. However, Theta Xi’s continuing interest in scholastic achievement and student activities is shown by the steady maintenance of the fraternity’s scholastic average and the efforts of Theta Xi men in such activities as Student Conned, publications, intramural athletics, and class and scholastic honorarics. The most evident effect of the war has been the curtailment of social activity a way from the chapter house. More of the parties, tea dances, and breakfasts, as well as the pledge dance, have been scheduled at the familiar brick house on Forbes Street. War or no war, intramural athletics formed a large part of the year's activity. First football, and then the winter sports of basketball, table tennis, and bowling took the spotlight of Theta Xi athletic attention. THETA XI ( aw Frey, M. Church. Ilinloop, A. Church, Holmes.

INTERSORORITY COUNCIL I XTFRSORORITY COUNCIL is the organized representation 1 of the eight sororities on the Carnegie Tech campus. It is composed of a junior and senior representative from each sorority. The purpose of Intersorority Council is to aid the sororities in their problems and to enable them to express themselves through a central body. This year Council completely revised the rushing rules. It agreed that a uniform set of rules for Margaret Morrison and Arts would solve the problems and confusion caused by the double set. The rushing formal was done away with, as was the buffet supper. A new manner of bidding and a quota system were inaugurated. As well as attending to official business, Intersorority Council sponsors several social events. This year it gave two rushing teas, one in October, and one in January, and held its annual chapel in conjunction with Interfraternity Council. The Inter-sorority picnic, given for all sorority girls, was well attended as usual, and did much to further good relations between the sororities. The most important social event ol the year was the annual Inlersorority Formal held in the Urban Room of the Hotel William Penn. According to custom, Council and its escorts attended the annual dinner before the dance. Proceeds from the dance are contributed to the sorority girl most outstanding in activities and scholarship. rf Baer. Fullerton, O'Brim. Dyer, Barry, Riwoff. if nw: _ PvlihouM', Corm'liu .

Being the oldest sorority on campus, it is a well established sisterhood with its alumnae scattered far and wide. The girls are well known for their friendliness and gaiety, for they believe in getting something aside from “book learning from their college life. Even so, they have been repeated winners of the Intersorority Scholarship cup, awarded each year to the sorority with the highest scholastic average. The Alpha Kaps, as they are known on campus, can be distinguished the year round by their bright yellow caps. The sorority is continually planning parties and other get-togethers such as the Alumnae Tea, winter sled-riding parties, bowling parties, and tea dances. The rushing parties were lots of fun, and the rushing season was considered a success by both the actives and rushees. % Their dart game at Fall Carnival and the Guild Dance was highly successful and enjoyed by all. Instead of using tires to spend their usual week on Lake Erie last summer, they had a gala pyjama party at the studio apartment of Edwina Connery and Erminic Allison. The Alpha Kaps have always been prominent in academic activities, including Mortar Board, Cwens, Women’s Guild, Women’s Athletic Association, and publications. ALPHA KAPPA PSI Ml •; lledfo. Jordan.

At a dinner given in their honor eighteen girls received their pledge pins. At rough initiation, held at the Lodge in South Park, they really became acquainted with Alpha friendliness and fun. Then at the long awaited formal initiation at the Hotel Schenlev the pledges became official members. This year was crowded with good times for the Alphas. In September there was the tally tug, and later a havride that was long remembered. There was informal fun at the outing at the Lang's. At the combination Christmas Party and Senior Farewell dinner gifts were exchanged, and farewells were regretfully said to the graduating seniors. At the Guild Dance the Alphas did their part by selling many multi-colored balloons. In the spring there were the Alumnae Teawhcre old acquaintanceships were renewed, and the Mother's Day Tea. A box picnic at the North Park and the memorable Spring Formal completed the season. The Alphas are represented in many campus activities. Teams of which the girls are justly proud were entered in all the intramural events. There are Alphas in Phi Kappa Phi, Alpha Chi Alpha, C. W. C. A. Cabinet, V. A. A. Board. Dormitory Council, and Margaret Morrison Senate. They are also represented on the stall of the Tech publications and hold various class offices in Maggie Murph. ljt row: Drntlow, Bucliman. 2nd row: Wcinkaul, Bnoidt, Pattoriut, Write, Crrvcrit. !rt row: Timkerlakc, Taylor, LaChimia, Half, McKean. }rj row: Kgfletton.

This year the Beta Pi’s plan to retain as many of their traditional social activities as possible, in spite of the war. These activities include the annual Autumn Hayride, the Spring Formal, selling at their booth for the Women’s Guild dance, and the dinner for the sorority's senior women. Because of the scarcity of cars and tires, the Beta Pis gave up their yearly trip to the sorority cottage at Van Buren, but they got together at many bridge luncheons and teas during the vacation. They also helped Uncle Sam by selling war stamps in town. This fall the sorority was proud to have Mrs. Job, the wife of Tech’s prominent professor of drama, join its members as faculty sponsor. Rushing season was heightened by the Mother and Daughter Tea at Libby Lind’s, and a party at Marty and Aleta Cornelius’ home. This year the alumnae of Beta Pi became more active in the sorority's affairs. They met the .active members at an informal dinner meeting and were entertained later with a party at the Student Union. The Beta Pis are active on the Thistle, Tartan, and Scotlie staffs. Scabbard and Blade bestowed honorary military commissions on two of its senior members. The Beta Pis, trying to create more of the intersorority spirit among both the Art School and Margaret Morrison College, joined with the Alpha Kappa Psi sorority to give a tea for the Gamma Phi Sigmas of Margaret Morrison.

BETA TAU LAMBDA A FTER an eventful vacation at Bemus Point the Beetles came A back to school more eager than ever to promote their spirit of friendliness. They rolled into the social season with a roller skating party and led the way with a hay ride. At Kail Carnival they showed an eye for the future by installing a fortune teller. After that came the annual tea for another sororitv—this year the Alpha Kaps, and then another for the Alumnae. In December the graduating engineers appreciated their farewell theater party. Rushing found them enlisting the Freshmen for a notable Canteen Party, many luncheon dates, and the usual Smorgasbord. Then the successful Pledge class turned the tables with a distinctive Pledge dance, and the Mothers’ Club took time from their defense work to give them all a party. Spring was greeted by their annual formal, and a cheerful party sent the seniors away smiling. In spite of their busy social whirl Beta Tau Lambda girls are not lacking in student activities. Members are found in Cwens, Mortar Board, Sigma Alpha Iota, and Fine Arts Senate. The President of Intersorority Council, the President of C.W.C.A., and the Women’s Editor of the Scottie are also members of Bela Tau Lambda. Altogether the Beetles have had a well rounded year.

Its colors arc purple and Jade, and the girls are quite proud of their attractive pins, which are in the form of a shield surrounded by pearls. Kveryone knows of their hearty support of all campus activities. A well-rounded program of social events was enjoyed by all the girls. An alumnae tea was given in the fall, and the girls also entertained their mothers at a tea. Then came rushing season with get-togethers and parties galore. The girls always remember the good times they had during rushing season. In the fall a week-end was spent in the country, and with the delicious cats and pleasant accommodations and surroundings, everyone enjoyed herself immensely. This year the girls started their own war stamp rally. I he treasurer always carried a supply of stamps, and many were bought at the meetings. The Tri-Gams arc well represented in activities having members in, among other things, Mortar Board, A. A. I., Orchestra, and Glee Club. The officers receive the active help of the members, and together they continue their ideals of encouraging the girls in all undertakings, of promoting friendship, and of furthering cooperation in the sorority and on campus. As the year ends, the Tri-Gams look back and feel that they have done their job well. •� � •.• Meyer, Certen. Sandlin, K� rie� . Kennedy. «•; Hopper, Ruten. Skillin ton. frj we; Ptnltu. Pr« � .

GAMMA PHI SIGMA 'TMIIS year the members of Gamma Phi Sigma began the 1 semester with a successful rushing season, highlighted by a gambling party, a fashion show tea, and a formal. In November the pledges became actives at an impressive formal initiation ceremony followed by a dance at the University Club. The semester ended with a farewell party at which the sorority presented gifts to the graduating members, the engaged girls, and the retiring president. During the rest of the year, the girls were busy playing active parts at Intersorority, Greek Sing and Swing, the Women's Guild Dance, and various informal sorority parties. Pride oi the sorority this year was lovely Duiise Zonge, who was crowned Campus Queen at Pall Carnival. At Military Pall Louise was second-in-command of the honorary R. (). T. C. Cadet Corps, while Mary Sullivan, Mary Ellen Smith, and Christine Clinton were honorary officers. The sorority is proud, too, ol its many members in honoraries such as Cwens, Mortar Board, Phi Kappa Phi, Alpha Chi Alpha, Sigma Xi, on campus publications, in class offices, and in other varied extra-curricular activities.

Here there were horses, haylofts, and ample opportunities to discuss rushing, which started soon afterwards. At the end of the ten days, after numerous luncheon dates, coke parties, teas, and a formal, the new pledges were entertained by the actives at the Royal York and each was given a Kappa cap.” To reciprocate, the pledges entertained the actives with a dessert bridge and presented them with yarn dolls in the colors of the sorority. Flic hardworking pledges were rewarded late in November by a dinner and dance at the University Club, where they exchanged their triangular pledge pins for the official badge of Kappa Phi Delta. The Kappa social season continued with a spaghetti dinner, tea dances given by various fraternities, a roller skating party, a Christmas luncheon, and a tea for the alumnae, all of which were climaxed by the Spring Formal. Besides having such an active social life, the Kappas were well represented in Mortar Board, Alpha Chi Alpha, and Cwens. Upperclass Kappas held such positions as Secretary of Student Council, President of M.M.C.C. Senate, President of Intersorority Council, Associate Editor of the Thistle, and Managing Editor of the Tartan. The popularity of Kappas on campus was proved by the fact that the honorary cadet colonel, five honorary cadets, and five members of the Campus Queen's Court, all wore the amethyst and pearl of Kappa Phi Delta. row: Houlihan, John.ton.

After functioning as a club for one year, in the fall of 1941 Mu Alpha Gamma was formally recognized by both Student Council and Intersorority Council. This sorority, the only one on the campus composed of members from both schools, was formed with the idea of fostering belter relations between the schools. Mu Alpha Gamma has spent much time in getting adjusted to campus procedure. During the past year, however, the chapter found time to go all out for defense by conducting a campus-wide scrap drive. To further the fraternity spirit. Mu Alpha Gamma feted Beta Sigma Rho and Tau Delta Phi fraternities at a buffet supper in the Union. Mu Alpha Gamma has as its prized possession the Intersororitv Scholarship cup for the year 1941-1942. Although none of the chapter members can yet claim senior honors, the sorority is extremely active, considering its small membership. Outstanding among the girls are: Ruth Kwall, President of the sorority; Naomi Fllman, member of C. W. C. A. cabinet; Janet Chctlin and Barbara Levy, both members of V. A. A. board, Adelvne Roth who was appointed dance director of Scotch and Soda for the 42-45 season; Louisa Saul and Helena Aronson who occupy positions on publication staffs. . „ , oil-., K� � ll.

DORMITORIES r|',IIK Men's Dormitory Council is the governing body of the men's dorms. Its personnel consists of five members, including the hall president and a representative ot each class, with Mr. Eyman acting as advisor. During the past year, under the able leadership of John Horth, Dorm Council has secured open house privileges and has promoted interest in school politics. It has also carried on an extensive social program, sponsored an intramural program, and generally improved the standing of the dorms on campus. Under Council’s leadership, a new inter-dorm social program was initiated, in which each dorm sponsored a party for all the other halls. Naturally, the new idea was objected to by some, but after meeting with immediate success when finally adopted, it became a permanent institution.

Buggv race Take your pick Drilling for oil? Intricate Gridiron celebrities In the groove Is he dead? Shuttling Strict I v corn One at a time please Praise the Lord Heaven can wait yY significant part of the fun of going to college is living in a dormitory. Where else can you get a fourth for bridge anytime you need one? Where else can you make merry twenty-four hours of any day with a score or more of your classmates? Who in your family can sympathize like a dorm friend? Who is in the same school of fish that you arc? A prudish stick-in-the-mud learns immediately that there is no place for him in a boarding hall community if he doesn’t wake up and get out of his apathetic state. There are always a few grinds who shun society, but a dormitory is the place to discover that even geniuses have hearts, and that even the loudest suit of gladrags has a soul. 200 OF THE DORMITORIES A newly organised social committee, consisting of members from each of the Dormitory Councils, lias done much in the past year to improve the social activities with the introduction of a cooperative, rotating entertainment system. By this system, each men’s and women’s dormitory is given an opportunity to stretch its imagination to the fullest in the staging of novel entertainments. From this system resulted the memorable Boss Pirate Party and the unforgettable Scobcll Swing-Shift. Dormitory life fosters in the college student a feeling of independence that is literally squelched in the bosom of an ever-loving family. In a dorm the college students are on their own. They become the integral but individual members of that cross section of society which is college. Let's dance And next Happy birthday No music, no dance Nothing to do? Hi! 'Smatter— no chairs?

Parry Studio 610 Smith field Street Pittsburgh, Pa. 1 JRW I How to turn a hull into a hornet’s nest Westinghouse ... making Electricity work for Victory The efficiency of an aircraft carrier depends upon power—steam power to propel it, electric power to operate it. Powering these sea-going airfields is a typically Westinghouse kind of wartime job. It is a job that calls for the thousand and one different skills in things electrical that arc second nature to Westinghouse. Here is just a small part of the equipment that Westinghouse has designed and built especially to make American carriers outstanding engines of destruction: Steam turbines, compact in size, yet so powerful they drive our new carriers fatter than any enemy carrier afloat. ★ Elevators big enough to hold a bomber, fast enough to deliver a plane to the deck with minimum delay. ★ Hundreds of different types of instruments that put nearly every operation of offense and defense under finger tip control. Intricate radio equipment specially designed to stand up under the shock of battle. Westinghouse know how is being applied—not only to aircraft carriers —but to nearly every type of ship in our Navy. In this, as in all phases of Westinghouse wartime activity, the long-range work of our Research and Engineering Laboratories bas played a significant part. Discoveries in many fields arc now bearing fruit in the production of belter and more powerful weapons of war. Many of these discoveries, wc believe, will someday help to make a better peacetime world. Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Company, Pittsburgh, Pa. Plants in 25 cities; offices every where.

GIVE HIM TO® CHANCES INSTEAD of THROUGH a trust fund at this institution you can protect your son's inheritance until he has gained sufficient skill and experience to handle it himself. Instead of having him receive the entire bequest when he becomes of age, you can arrange to have him obtain only a portion of it at that time. Later, when he reaches greater maturity, the remainder can be turned over to him. If he made mistakes with his early inheritance, this latter fund will give him his second chance.
