E. Doherty Our president. Dr. Robert Earnest Doherty, whose reputation in the world of engineering education is national, lias again succeeded in guiding the institute through another year beset with wartime problems. Leaving his position as Dean of the School of Engineering at Yale in 10.36 to accept the presidency of Carnegie Institute of Technology, he has made many innovations which have put our school among the first ranking schools in the country. The war has brought recognition of Dr. Doherty's ability and has shown him to be one of the most outstanding leaders in the Pittsburgh district, in that lie has been appointed chairman of the Allegheny Conference on Community Planning, a group whose duty it is to cope with post war problems. Among other positions of honor, he holds the Directorship of the Forbes National Bank and the Chairmanship of the Pittsburgh branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. I le was made an honorary member of the Engineering Institute of Canada and was also appointed by President Roosevelt to the board of visitors to the United States Naval Academy. Also at the request of the President, he was appointed a member of a committee by Dr. Vannevar Bush for discovering and developing scientific talent in American youth. Dr. Doherty’s artistic ability was rewarded last March when he was granted first prize in the exhibit of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh for his self-portrait. Realizing that these unsettled times require unusual skill and ability in handling the affairs of a great institution such as Carnegie Tech, we feel fortunate and proud to have Robert E. Doherty as our president. CARNEGIE TECH ADMINISTRATION HOARD OF TRUSTEES William Frew Roy A. Hunt Augustus K. Oliver Thomas L. Orr Edward Duff Balken II. B. Kirkpatrick Frederick G. Blackburn John F.

As the supreme governing body of all students, A. C. A. C. formulates policies, inaugurates and perpetuates tradition, and supervises all student campus activities. It is composed of eleven representatives, of which two are from Margaret Morrison, one from Fine Arts, one from Engineering, one from ). . Daniels Dean oj Students b'tfjt Rour: Bauer, K. A..Ferrari, D. K., Brook , M. J StconJ Ron’: Snow. W. I .. Pollock. J. S.. Lowrmtrin. K. A. Publications, one from Athletics, and one from the Army. All organizations on campus arc permitted to send a representative to A.C.A.C. although they do not have the voting privilege of the other members of the committee. The regular Wednesday meetings at the Union are open at all times in order that any student may express his views ojjenly to the Committee, thus enabling students and Army personnel to participate in the government of the school. The Student-Army body is informed of the activities of the committee by the minutes published in full in the Tartan each week. The administration co-ordinator. Dean J. M. Daniels, is chairman of the council. 11 is job is to coordinate civilian and Army work and to do some � l the work formerly done by the President and Treasurer of Student Council. The budget chairman, Melva Brooks, examines and recommends for approval or rejection the budgets from all organizations. She handles all finances through the administration co-ordinator. She is also in charge of taking tickets at all social events on campus. lean Garland, as chairman of social events, checks and moves for the approval of the dates of all social functions. Jack Pollock, Election Committee Chairman, conducts all elections held and appoints members of the A.C.A.C. to the various polls in the three colleges. The editorial and advertising policies of all publications are determined by the Publications Committee. The chairman of the group recommends to the committee the staffs of each publications. Ernest Lowen-stein is the chairman of this committee as well as being the representative of the Army. The special committee chairman, Patricia Werner, is in charge of awarding points and keys to the students who are the most worthy in their fields, and is in charge of any special events or investigations which may arise. The Athletic Chairman, Warren Snow, is student co-ordinator for intramural activities, working with the athletic department for the school. Bernice Barclay is secretary of A.C.A.C.; Adele Bauer and and Doris Ferraez are representatives of Margaret Morrison and Fine Arts respectively. The Army Civilian Activities Committee acts as a connecting link between students, faculty, and Army in bringing about a better understanding between them. The members have shown everyone that they could do their part during emergency times. 1 IIIS spring witnessed the graduation of an unique group of Carnegie lech engineers; unique, in that these young men are the first to finish a completely expedited program. They hare cooperated with the administration and faculty to accomplish the unprecedented feat of completing the required courses in substantially less than three years. Such a program is a true lest of perseverance and stamina; he students and jacuity alike are to he saluted. The responsibility of these young engineers is great, for it is they who must aid in the great process of reconversion in the future, t hey can go out into the world oj science and industry confident that their training has prepared them to meet this responsibility; for, even under the troubled conditions of a country at war, Carnegie Tech has retained its high standards in professional education. At a time when the purely technical man is in greatest demand, the administration has looked ahead and maintained its idea of a truly well-rounded education. the members of the class of 45 have been trained to be men oj technical proficiency and will be leaders of science and industry. They can indeed have just pride in heir accomplishments and confidence in their ability to do their part in bringing our country, through one of the most trying limes in Us history. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 25 Warren L. McCabe Head of Department of Chemical Engineering DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY_________ The men, who have been studying the past four years to prepare themselves for positions in the many fields of chemistry, find before them many excellent opportunities for employment. Going into war industries, they will work in large research laboratories improving many vital materials needed for the quick defeat o! our enemies. They will also develop new materials for war and future civilian use. The demand for properly educated chemists is reaching new peaks, for it is impossible to discover the fuels, explosives, drugs, and other substances vital to the war effort without them. These chemists have before them the great job of improving and developing new DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING . Scarcely known thirty-five years ago. Chemical Engineering has grown with such rapidity in the last three decades that it now ranks as one of the most important divisions of engineering. The rapid expansion of this field has produced an increased demand for men trained in this branch of study. In producing the materials necessary for war and peacetime expansion. Chemical Engineers are vital to the future of the country. Because Chemical Engineers must be able to cope with problems from all phases of science and engineering, they are required to take courses in chemistry, physics, mechanics, and mathematics. As a result of the courses given at Carnegie Tech, the graduate finds that he has a working familiarity J. C. Warner Head of Department of Chemistry 26 with the basic principles of Mechanical, Electrical, ami Metallurgical Engineering, as well as a knowledge of chemistry and its application to the industry of today. In addition, a treatment of many empirical relations not well-defined by theoretical considerations, serves to complete a well-rounded course. From the traditional processes concerned with heavy inorganic chemicals to the newer developments in plastics, petroleum, and synthetic rubber, the Chemical Engineer has many opportunities to perform his fundamental task: to transform the raw materials of nature into useful finished products. tir t ni� .'

The department has been very busy the past year with all types of war research; the most important l eing the development of better syn- thetic rubber. From this graduating class of 1945 may come the men who will be responsible for many substances and materials which are as yet undreamed of, and which will mean more comfort to all of us in the future. 27 DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING__________ This year, in spite of the loss of hundreds of men who are now in the Armed Services, the Civil Kngineering Department is still managing to carry on as strongly as ever under the capable leadership of its new head. Dr. Frederic T. Mavis. Dr. Mavis came to Carnegie Tech from Pennsylvania State College where he was a professor and the Head of the Department of Civil Kngineering. Civil Kngineering is the oldest branch of the engineering profession. The graduates of this department are well prepared to design and supervise the construction of roads, dams, bridges, tunnels, buildings, air fields, and harbors. Such developments as flood control are also handled by the civil engineers. A great number of these men are at the present time helping to do such important work in the Armed Forces. Francis M. McCullough Head of Department of Cioil Engineering William R. Work Head of Department of Electrical Engineering DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING _ If one were to approach the general head of the Klectrical Kngineering Department, requesting information upon the relative merits of this Department, he would undoubtedly receive the non-committal reply. “We’re no better than the other departments of the school, they’re all very good. Nevertheless, wc can say that Dr. Tea re, the new lieatl of the department, and his assistants are doing a fine job of training men to carry on one of the most important industries of the present power age that of electrical supply. It would Ik hard to say what our world would be like if we were deprived of the conveniences which electricity has made possible. An electrical engineer's training here at Tech includes all that is needed in the education of a 28 As the end of the war draws steadily closer, the study of civil engineering becomes even more important than ever before. With the l omhing of the enemy creating such havoc and destruction in the cities of Kurope, there will he a great need lor the reconstruction of practically the whole continent. The Civil engineers from Carnegie l ech will have an important part in this great task of rebuilding the parts of the world which have been shattered by the forces of war. AV f ftw: YarlrU. Gal.lcr.

In the earlier years, ltasic subjects such as mathematics, physics, and applied mechanics comprise the greater part of the work. Later, theories of electricity and magnetism, and their practical application, arc-covered in order to prepare the student for his entrance into industry. At the present time there are only eleven seniors in the department, but there are a large number of underclassmen to till their places when they leave. Many returning veterans, who have returned in the past year, have enrolled in the department, and are rapidly taking an active part in the profession. 29 DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING _ Thomas G. Estep Head of Department of Mechanical Engineering The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers options in General Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering. Each course leads to a degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering after a period of four years of instruction. Training is carried on a broad basis, and it is only in the junior and senior years that the student specializes in any field. Laboratory work, as well as theoretical work, is stressed so that the students will develop the habit of observing closely and will DEPARTMENT OF METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING The Department of Metallurgical Engineering, like other departments at Carnegie Tech, has undergraduate students enrolled in the day classes. Although the number of students has decreased sharply because of the war, the department is far from idle; regular classes arc continuing, particularly in combination with the evening school classes. The evening school has increased its enrollment in l oth the undergraduate and graduate schools. During the past year, the most important Robert F. Meiil Head oj Department oj Jlelalurgical Engineering 30 Ik- able to make good use of experimental data. Because the student enrollment in the department has decreased, some of the instructors are now engaged in war research for some private companies. Some government research has also been undertaken several times during the past year. Those engineers graduating from Carnegie Tech with a degree in Mechanical Engineering find that there is little difficulty in finding a position in any of the principal war industries. bint Kw: Ccn� mer, Mml.

Of course this work is confidential and cannot Ik- reported now. but the group working upon these problems is very large. Their work resulted in the Distinguished Service Award from the Ordnance Department of the United States Army to Carnegie Institute of Technology during the past year. 31 DEPARTMENT OF DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS_________________ Lloyd L. Dines Head oj Department of Mathematics MATHEMATICS - .Mathematics, the basic science ot all engineering and industrial research fields, gains added importance with each day as modern living increases in complexity. The Department of Mathematics at Carnegie Tech, headed by Dr. Lloyd L. Dines, is one of the finest in the country. Many of its members have gained national recognition, and several have written textbooks which are used extensively in colleges and universities throughout the countrv. Perhaps the most important wartime function of the physics department has been the conducting of fundamental scientific research. The frequent explosions originating in the small building below Engineering 1 lall constitute, of necessity, the only generally available information about this work; other research projects, quieter, though no less important, are housed in the physics laboratories and have commanded the attention of a considerable portion of the physics faculty. In Frederick Seitz Head oj Department of Physics 32 AV« Ro� r: Maikoviti. I)., lohnvon. ||. P.. Iloovcr. B K, I.ightcaji. II. S. Sffi’nJ ? •«•_• RounUck. I. B.. Dine . L. L., N’ccIJrjr. I. II. The four-vear course in mathematics is designed to meet the needs of three classes of students: first, those who desire to enter the industrial or commercial field; second, those who desire graduate work in mathematics, looking toward a university position or some field of advanced research; third, those who desire to qualify as teachers of mathematics in the secondary schools. Many graduates of this department have excellent positions in the industrial and scientific world. hr l fI .vivo. Burr-man, Pugh. Ktlnmann, Willia u� on. Miihrnrr, Prinr. Window, Uc«� cv. SimpMin. addition to the work the department has carried on at Carnegie, Dr. Seitz and several members of his staff have devoted most of their time to highly secret government research off the campus. While performing these new duties, the physics department has continued to provide training in physical principles fundamental to engineering students. The accomplishments and the capabilities of the department’s personnel assure for Carnegie Tech a prominent place in the rapid development of physics which lies in the immediate future. 33 DEPARTMENT OF Glen V. Clekton Head of Department oj Printing PRINTING That familiar clatter of machines ami the rumble of presses as we enter Industries Hall can still he heard, despite the fact that the Department of Printing has lost a great number of its students to the Armed Forces. However, through the training that these students receive, they are perhaps the most qualified men to enter into a position in industrial printing. They also have another unique distinction, for they are the only printing students in the United States who will obtain a Bachelor of Science degree when they graduate. The purpose of the Printing Department is not the vocational development of skill, but rather professional training. Aside from taking courses in design, production, marketing, and management, these students are also given the principles of economics, physics, and psychology. With such a well-rounded schedule, these students are able to l e of great service professionally in any of the graphic art industries. 34 Pitkin, C. V„ Clccton, G. V., Sterling, II. E. Dr. Otto Stern, Physicist, Wins Nobel Award For 1943 Dr. Otto Stern, Research Professor in the Physics Department of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, has been awarded the delayed Nobel prize for Physics for 1945. Although the ollicial citation has not yet arrived from Stockholm, . Sweden, this award has undoubtedly been made for Dr. Stern’s work with the so-called molecular rays. Born in 1888 in Sorau, Upper Silesia. Professor Stern studied Chemistry and Physical Chemistry at the University of Breslau and was graduated lrom there in 1912. During the next two years he worked with Professor Albert Finstein at Breslau, and at the technical college in Zurich, Switzerland. At the beginning of the first World War he transferred to Frankfurt on the Main. In 1921 he was appointee! professor of physical chemistry at the University of Rostock, where he began the association with Professor Kstermann which has continued until today. Two yea re later he went to the University of Hamburg, and stayed there until 1955, leaving his post only for one year in 1950 to act as visiting professor at the University of California. Berkeley, California. In the summer of 1955, Professors Stem and Kstermann, enraged by the practices of the new Nazi regime, accepted an oiler to come to Carnegie Tech made to them by Dr. Thomas Baker, then president of the Institute. In October of the same year they left Hamburg and moved to Pittsburgh. A few months later, the Buhl Foundation, who already had given liberal support to the CIT Coal Research Laboratories, granted a $25,000 fund for the creation of a special Molecular Physics Laboratory at Carnegie Tech, in order to enable the two scientists to continue their extremely valuable work. In announcing the award, Charles F. Lewis, director of the Buhl Foundation, declared that Professor Stern, beyond question, ranks among the first half-dozen of the ablest experimental physicists in the world.” The coming to Pittsburgh of Professors Stern and Kstermann should mean much to all industrial research laboratories in the district.........Their presence in the community should powerfully stimulate the production of all research men. The new laboratory............will make worthwhile contributions to human knowledge.” 35 SlF TER a somewhat uncertain beginning, what was once just an inspiration has become, in a comparatively short lime, a well-known co-educational college, which stands as concrete prooj that an ideal can become a realily. It is a question whether or not Airs. An drew Carnegie had any premonitions oj how the college would grow when she first suggested building a School oj l ine . Iris, but it is a fact that now each year so many students are eager to register that competitive examinations must be given to determine which students wit be accepted. Even after they have entered, those who do not show sufficient talent in their work are not allowed to remain. To the students oj other colleges at lech, the general spirit of gaiety which prevails in the Tine Arts Building might indicate that the work done there is mostly jun. Actually much patient thought and many long hours are spent in order that the work may be done well. Extensive courses tn music, drama, architecture, painting, design, and sculpture are offered under the direction of the capable faculty. During war time, it is inevitable that the number oj students in the College oj Tine Arts be reduced, although the importance oj the arts is not less. The reduction in number has meant reduction of effort. There is no decrease in activity except the natural amount which is due to the fewer number oj students. The College oj Tine Arts has maintained its high standards, and remains a living and tangible example of the survival of the arts during war lime. COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS 37 DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE____ The Department of Architecture, situated on the second floor of the Fine Arts building, is primarily concerned with developing the mechanical and artistic talents of the students. The courses of instruction include Architectural Design. Interior Decoration, and Architectural Construction. This year great stress has been laid on practical shop work. The work being done is very interesting and beneficial to the architects. This department which now contains lilty-eight students has been enlarged considerably by a freshman class of twenty-one. Although the size of the department is far from its pre-war status, it is still capably instructed by a staff of seven; Mr. Hitchens, head of the department; Mr. Grapin, Mr. Solx tka, Mr. Schmertz,, Mr. Simboli, Mr. Dunello, and Mr. Lightcap. Among the subjects included in the curriculum are architectural design, graphics, theory of construction, freehand drawing, mathematics. Wii.uam F. Hitchens Head of Department of Architecture Henry F. Bottchkr Head of the Department of Drama DEPARTMENT OF DRAMA___________ This year, in spite of the shortage of man power, the Drama Department has succeeded in maintaining the high standards and the quality of production for which it is noted. The manpower shortage has been solved somewhat by girls portraying the roles of men. Despite such adverse conditions several plays were produced. The annual Shakespearian performance, directed by B. Men Payne, head of the Stratford-on Avon Memorial Theater, was “All is Well that Ends Well. In addition “The Old Maid,.......I'hc Years of the Locust, and “The Old Ladies were done. “The Old Ladies' was unique in that there were only three persons in the cast. All the plays went well and were succcssfu I ly recei ved. These plays give the drama students, or 38 Fir I Hour Cr pin, C. K.. Sclimrrtx. R. W., I.i|lit Ay, II. S. SrttnJ Simlxili, R,. Ilit.li.nv V.

A familiar sight on the campus is that of the bright lights shining in the upper stories of the Fine Arts building on into the night. At these times, the weary architects are on charette, the last minute rush at the end of a problem. But. late charette or not, the architects this year have distinguished themselves. These successes are the natural result of Tech superiority of design. hut Skinner. K. XV., Nicnioycr, C., Ilunxrl, G.. Kuwrnlro� lr, II. . 7«vn« Ron’: Beyer. W. II.. Morrin, M„ Kimlierly, G. •B..

The students have a choice of majoring in three courses during their Junior and Senior years acting, production, and writing. We ail know how much effort they put forth in their task of training for the “Theater.” This hard work coupled with the excellent training has managed to make the graduates of lech’s Department of Drama well known all over the country. 39 DEPARTMENT OF J. Vick O’Brien IIfad oj Department oj Music MUSIC________ The Music Department turned over a new leaf with the appointment of Professor Charles A. II. Pearson as the new acting head. The indispensable l)r. O’Brien still directs the Carnegie Tech Orchestra and teaches advanced harmony and composition. All of the faculty in the Department exert upon their students a deep influence which brings out true ability. The never-ceasing practicing shows the earnestness of all the students, and their fine recitals justify their talents. Year after year, graduate music students become more successful in the fields of radio, concert, and teaching, continuing to establish the worth of Tech’s Music Department. DEPARTMENT OF PAINTING, DESIGN AND SCULPTURE _ The Department of Painting and Design and Sculpture is located in the College of Fine Arts. When a freshman enters the college, he soon catches the spirit of gaiety that prevails throughout the building. And yet at the same time, he learns that all of the work is not fun. A P and D, for instance, burns the midnight oil more often than he cares to remember—especially around Judgment Day. Judgment Day is the day on which the students' work is evaluated with the faculty members acting as the jury. After Judgment, many paintings and other pieces of art are put on exhibition. If you arc looking for a P and I), of course, the place to find him is on the top floor of the Arts Building. A sculpture student, on the other hand, is sure to be in the lower depths—in the basement. Wilfred A.

An outstanding activity is the Chorus in which every student takes part. Directed bv I)r. Dorian, it gives two main programs each year. Although the Orchestra did not have as large a membership as before, the results were equal to those of past orchestral groups. The department, having an extensive library of records, provided phonograph recitals for students of the three colleges every Tuesday and Friday, which offered education by listening. Despite wartime obstacles the department has carried on in its usual lively manner. h'irjt In-.' Milton. Carter, Squiticr!. Strand I.',.'.' Ellin, Ewing, Kilniomli. l-cppcr.

Regular sculpture students take painting and design courses during their first three years, finally specializing in their senior year in sculpture only. The two departments of Painting and Design and of Sculpture strive hard to uphold their traditional standards and create an atmosphere in which a student will do his best work. One needs only to walk through the Fine Arts Building to see that they are succeeding. 41 JflARGARET MORRISON is the womens college of Carnegie lech. H is the home oj more than half of the girls on cam ms and is easi g identified by its big round court. Here we find Costume Re’s cogging the latest Paris fashions, Social W orkers dashing of) on field Irigs, Household Pc’s preparing lunch in the tea room, Science students balancing formulas, and he entire school pouring over text books. In addition to the technical training they receive, girls also receive a liberal arts education. Although the dag of a Maggie Mttrph is a busg one, she always find time jor fun and relaxation. She realizes thal social life as well as studies are necessary for a well rounded education. 1'here are teas, dances, and parlies to add interest to the regular school routine, there are athletic activities to make school more fun. Relaxing on I he lawn, hastily exchanging gossip between classes, and playing bridge in the canteen are alt a part oj a student's daily routine. The Maggie Murph has fun, but she knows that there is work to be done and exams to be passed if she is to be success]til in her college career. This then, is the way in which a Margaret Morrison student prepares herself for a place in the future. She wilt be ready to carry out her purpose as staled in the WomenV Song t o make mankind more glad and free MORRISON COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF HOME ECONOMICS — Under the leadership of Calla Van Svckle, the Costume Economics Department has been combined with the Home and Household Economics Department. Students who graduate from this course will in the future get a Bachelor of Science degree in Home Economics with a Costume or a Household Economics major. Any afternoon Costume Ecs. can Ik found draping dresses in the laboratories or drawing original designs in the studio. Clothing construction. art principles, designing, and the study of textiles are all major subjects for girls in this field of work. Historic costume is a fundamental background course. This year the department played an important part in the Endowment Fund Benefit. The members made the card table covers stenciled with the thistle, and the colorful yellow pinafores which were worn bv the aides. The girls majoring in Household Economics learn how tc plan and serve appetizing and balanced meals, and how to prepare food scientifically. Edith M. Winchester Head oj Department oj Secretarial Studies Virginia M. Alexander Head oj Department oj Home Economics Dr. Van Syckle Head oj Department of Costume Economics DEPARTMENT OF SECRETARIAL STUDIES_____________________ The Secretarial Department has a great deal to offer in a variety of fields pertaining to modern secretarial work. The department offers three courses; the Regular Course (for office workers), the Teacher Training Course, and the College Graduate Course. The Regular Course offers technical training which enables a girl to develop her own initiative in various fields. The Teacher Training Course offers the knowledge of teaching secretarial studies as well as mechanical skill. 44 h'ir 1 fttu-: Till ling. ,M. IJ . I’ariti, II., Barricli, B., Mycm. I). Steoml ?■ •.'

Another course offered by this department is Teacher Training in Vocational Home Economics. Students interested in this type of work learn the fundamentals of sewing as well as food preparation and teaching methods. ’The girls in these two departments spend six weeks in the Home Management House. The Home Economics Department will continue to take an active part in school life. I’allcnin. Crnnna. Flihcl, May . Cl.u.an, Ely, Wan � -hc� tcr. mFinally, the College Graduate Course offers a one-year course in secretarial work to college graduates. The courses combine a lil eral arts education along with thorough training in secretarial subjects. This well-balanced training enables a girl to enter almost any field she chooses and to advance to various important positions as she becomes more experienced. Because of the increased demand for capable secretaries, the Department had expedited their program. This year, however, they returned to their regular two-semester plan. Under the able supervision of Miss Winchester and her staff, the secretarials” feel that they have been prepared to cope with any situation they may encounter in the business world. One of the interesting organizations in the Secretarial Department is the Secretarial Club a purely social organization open to girls from all secretarial classes. Another little-known and interesting item is the fact that in the Secretarial Department there are more than twice as many students as there are in any other department in Margaret Morrison. 45 DEPARTMENT OF I)r. Malcolm McLeod Head oj Department of General Studies GENERAL STUDIES The Department of General Studies, with Dr. MeLeod at the head, is a liberal arts department. Complete freedom of selecting subjects is offered in this department. The department is divided into two parts, secretarial minor and pre-library. The secretarial minor division offers the technique of journalism together with the mechanics of typing and shorthand. Graduates are well trained to be secretaries to writers, lecturers, or business men. The pre-library division offers courses in the understanding of various kinds of literature, and in the techniques of working in libraries. Students in this department may elect courses in either of the other colleges, thus satisfying any Hare they may have in such courses as mathematics or painting. Even in the national emergency, America needs writers and librarians. These occupations are taken care of in the Department of General Studies. DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SCIENCE _ AND NURSING Under the capable and friendly direction of I)r. Lang, the Department of General Science has prepared young women for responsible positions in the field of Chemistry and Bacteriology. An excellent background is given in all sciences and Harold L. Lang lead of Department of General Science DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL STUDIES Due to the war, the need and opportunities lor social workers lias increased. Today, society requires the professional guidance and service of well-trained social workers. More than ever before, people are troubled by financial strain, burdened by sickness, or in need of sonic particular help for which they may apply at a social work agency where they will receive the type of assistance liest suited to their need. In order that this aid may he properly administered, social workers who have l een trained to meet these problems are necessary. Margaret Morrison Carnegie College offers a pre-professional program leading to the degree oi Bachelor of Science. This course lays a broad and strong foundation for professional work. In addition to the pre-professional course, the department offers a program of graduate professional studies, which leads to the degree of Master of Social Work. This program has been enlarged to meet the growing demands of a nation at war and the requests of various social agencies. Mary C. Burnett Head oj Department of Social IPark mathematics. Graduates arc prepared for advanced work in science or positions in large industrial, research, or hospital laboratories, chemical or explosive manufacturing plants, and research in the field of synthetic rubber or petroleum. A live-year nursing program is offered by the General Science Department in cooperation with the Western Pennsylvania I lospital. The regular Freshman and Sophomore years are spent in Margaret Morrison Carnegie College with summer vacations spent at West Penn Hospital. 1 he equivalent of the junior and senior years is spent in the School of Nursing. A fifth year is taken in Margaret Morrison where the student majors in Nursing Education. The Nursing diploma is granted by the Western Pennsylvania Hospital School of Nursing, and the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education is given by Carnegie Institute of Technology at the completion of the five years’ work. •17 CANDIDLY__________ 49 SENIORS Allen, Miriam G., Ingram, Pa.; Music; Chapel Choir.

CANDIDS - - - Work More work Still more work Guess! ALUMNI FEDERATION Carnegie men and women, graduates and former students, arc on everv continent anil in every country throughout the world. They make up the Alumni Federation of Carnegie Institute of Technology. The Alumni Office coordinates the records and news of these alumni, it is their information bureau, and in a world at war the task of keeping track of all is enormous. It is only through the cooperation of loyal alumni that the record is kept straight. „ One of the most important and also the most interesting jobs of the Alumni Office is publishing the alumni magazine. The Carnegie Alumnus.” It is mailed to every graduate anil former student four times a year. The issues of the past year have contained more than one hundred pages of information about the school and the alumni. The many letters received from all parts of the world telling of the pleasure the alumni get in reading about their classmates and friends make the efforts of the Alumni Office a pleasure. Once each year a Homecoming is arranged for those alumni who are able to attend. Reunions are also arranged in connection with Homecoming for those classes that have been out five years and multiples thereof. The last Homecoming, held October 21. 1944. was voted very successful, but those alumni who could not attend because of wartime conditions were sorely missed. The social side of I lomecoming consisted of a reception and tea at the Carnegie Union, sponsored by the Pittsburgh’s Women’s Clan, and a dinner, entertainment. and dance at Webster Hall. In connection with Homecoming, the Alumni Council held its annual meeting. The Council is the governing body of the Alumni Federation and is composed of members elected by the local alumni clubs, known as Carnegie Clans. The Council elects the officers of the Federation and determines the policies for the coming year. At the meeting in October Mr. Harold C. Gooden. P22, was elected President; Mr. Anthony J. Kerin, E 17, Vice-President; Mr. Frank E. Foote, E’30, Recording Secretary; and John L. Elliott, E’10, Executive Secretary. One of the most important activities of the Alumni Federation is the effort of the Alumni Fund Committee to help the school raise the $4,000,000 needed by June 50. 1946 in order to receive the $8,000,000 gift promised by the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Through the efforts of the alumni, more than $98,000 was added to the fund. Mr. Charles R. Holzworlh, F 14, of North Pona-wanda, N. Y., is Chairman of the Alumni Fund Committee. Although football is a war casualty at Carnegie, the alumni still think of the good old days and arc looking forward to the time when Carnegie can again field a team that will do credit to the Tartan. To help attain this ambition the Steffen Memorial Scholarship Fund Committee of the Alumni Federation is working to provide money with which to help scholastically worthy athletes through Carnegie. Mr. Albert C. Irwin, I'22, is Chairman of the Steffen Committee and already has a sizeable fund invested to use when the time is right. To help alumni get acquainted anil keep up their school contacts, there are more than twenty-five alumni clubs organized in localities throughout the country. These are known as Carnegie Clans. They have frequent meetings where old acquaintances are renewed and new ones arc formed. Although all expenses of the Alumni Federation are paid by ihe school, it is managed entirely by the alumni. It is worthy of your earnest and helpful interest. 66 - i� «T 0 Actuuti L BOOK 2 INTERHONORARY COUNCIL Bsck � «• AiwnWr . I. M . I.inn, I) II . Ilrrliik. A. C-. iWickman, fi S. Liale. I.. P kr. G.

Under the leadership of Dave Jones, the council held an informal Record Hop after the i asket( all game with Case. Plans were begun to re-establish the system of freshman orientation and to restore some of the prewar customs. These plans were first put into effect with the class entering in 194o. Silver keys arc awarded to the members of I. II. and a banquet is held every year for the new council. TAU BETA PI S fu� firr. D. I... Immi. I). I) . Strpfc«n� . K K . Lemon, I,. S. fiibun, P. P,.

It has chapters on sixtv-seven campuses anil is represented by some of America's leading engineers. For eligibility to Tau Beta Pi. a student must be in the upper eighth of his Junior class or in the upper fifth of his Senior class. Personality and interest in campus affairs are also considered, so that meml ership will be limited only to the well-rounded engineers. The tutoring of Freshmen who are having diffiiculty is one of the services rendered by this organization during final examinations. During the past year the customary Tau Beta Pi issue of the Carnegie Technical again appeared. Due to the present situation, however, other activities have been limited. The purpose of Tau Beta Pi is to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates. 70 PHI KAPPA PHI I'nuil K.y,-: Wfutilcr. !., Naltinn.

Phi Kappa Phi is a national honorary society composed of graduate and undergraduate meml ers from all departments of American universities and and colleges. Its object is to emphasize scholarship in the thoughts of college students, to hold last to the original purpose for which institutions of learning were founded, and to stimulate mental achievement by the goal of membership. Several fellowships for graduate study are awarded annually by Phi Kappa Phi to members who have gained distinction for scholarship in their undergraduate work. Phi Kappa Phi selects its members from students in the upper tenth of the junior and senior classes on the basis of scholastic standing and character. Faculty members, alumni, and graduate students may also be elected to membership on the basis of outstanding qualifications. THETA TAU f itnl fov.1 Seifer. J. S. S, lia.hr, l . I.. Kahall, G.

However, participation in campus activities is also required, for Theta Tau endeavors to emphasize the social as well as the scholastic side of campus life. In the past year a picnic in Schenlev Park and an all-school bridge tournament were the high spots of Theta Tau’s social activity. The Most Promising Senior Engineer Award, presented to the senior engineering student who is considered by the faculty and by Xu Chapter of Theta Tau as being most likely to succeed in his profession, was awarded to William Leone of the Mechanical Engineering Department.

Pi Delta Epsilon is a national journalistic fraternity which was founded in 1906 for the purpose of honoring students who showed unusal journalistic ability. The fraternity decides the policies that all the publications on campus shall follow, and it also exchanges suggestions with many of the other colleges. Pi Delta Epsilon was this year responsible also for the publication of the Stud ent 1 handbook. A dinner is held each year for those students who have worked on publications. The dinner that was held this year at the Royal York Apartments, took place late in November with the Grand National Secretary and Treasurer of the fraternity present. Each year our chapter sponsors a contest for the l est written article that is published in any of the Tech publications, and a prize is awarded to the winner on Call Day. PI TAU SIGMA K l «ll, C.

Kstep in order to reward those students of mechanical engineering who hail honored their department by their activities on campus and scholastic attainments. The organization’s activities include l olh technical and social functions. Due to the present conflict, however, itsactivities have been reduced to a minimum. As stated in the Preamble to the Constitution of Pi i au Sigma, the purpose of the organization is to establish a closer bond of fellowship which will result in mutual benefit to those men in file study and in the profession of mechanical engineering. 72 ALPHA PHI OMEGA Top Rom: Slum .

With the motto “Do a good turn daily” the members of Alpha Phi Omega continue to render service on campus as they had served when they were active Boy Scouts. The fraternity is made up entirely of former Scouts who have joined together to serve. The Kappa Chapter on the Carnegie Tech campus under the guidance of I)r. R. I). Gregg is one of a hundred active chapters situated throughout the United States. Unique because it is the only national service fraternity in existence, its activities during the last year have been varied and useful. An annual custom on campus is to help the members of the fraternity also usher at the graduation exercises. Following a pattern of service through the years. Alpha Phi Omega has backed dances, and continued to check clothing and serve refreshments at various social functions. One of the latest accomplishments was the making of directories for the buildings on campus. In addition to serving Carnegie Tech, Alpha Phi Omega has an active social schedule. With Mr. Kent Shatter as scouting advisor, outings to Boy Scout reservations near Pittsburgh have been successfully carried through. Dean Daniels has recently been initiated into the fraternity, and under his guidance more projects are being planned. Alpha Phi Omega stands ready to carry on with the true Bov Scout spirit in doing its part now as its members have in the past. CWENS Top ?•� ’.• Whitney McCullovih, €.. Sncddtn. M. L.. Harris. M .

The members of Ft a Chapter of Cwens, National Sophomore Honorary Society for women, are called from the Freshman Class at the Spring Carnival to the Anglo-Saxon clan. These girls, chosen for scholarship, leadership, and character, are identified by their familiar red and gray dresses. During Freshman Week, Cwens help to orient freshmen and transfer students. This past year they increased their Endowment Fund by holding a bridge party and tag day. They were hostesses at several receptions, one of which was for the Cwens from the University of Pillsburgh,and were supporters of the war effort on campus. Their season ended with initiation of their new sisters at the traditional ritual, the annual “Feast.” 73 MORTAR BOARD tint Afo '.' IXkI|i', P. L . Simon. R. O., Williwn. 1 . L, Col . M. A.

The highest honor that a woman can attain at Carnegie Tech is membership in Mortar Board, the national senior women’s honorary. The members are selected in the spring of each year by the outgoing chapter for their scholarship, leadership, and their participation in activities during their first three years at Tech. Each year Mortar Board sponsors outstanding activities on campus. Some of their services this year were: aiding Dean Yon with registration; having coffees for the faculty and various student organizations; the sponsoring of two chapels and an assembly, and an all school dance in February, the Heart Hop. In addition. Mortar Board sponsored two large Blood Donor campaigns, in which the various fraternities and departments competed with each other. The members of Motar Board can l e recognized by their black suits with gold emblems. They also have black and gold pins in the shape of a mortar board. ETA KAPPA NU Stbuihcr. I). I... C«� tncr. P.

The preamble to the Constitution of Eta Kappa Nu states that it is an electrical engineering bar society founded at the University of Illinois, Urlwina, October 28, 1909, for closer cooperation among, and mutual benefit to, students and others in the profession, who by their attainments in college or in practice, manifest exceptional interest and marked ability in Electrical Engineering. This organization, consisting of thirty three student ami ten alumni chapters before the war, is the only honorary society devoted exclusively to the electri- cal engineering profession in the United States. The Carnegie branch. Sigma, has been active since 1923. The Sigma Chapter has managed to keep active in the electrical department, even though there are only six active members at the present time. In conjunction with the A. I. E. E., the Carnegie Chapter has had several smokers for the underclassmen with outstanding speakers from the electrical industries. 74 I.ijt Maht: Munster, I., McKean.

Something is Missing! Pause that refreshes 1945 TARTAN Adeline Hf.rlick Editor John Riggle Business Manager of all Publications The Tartan is the big, little newspaper of Carnegie Tech. It has, as all the other publications. been affected by the war and manpower shortage. As a result its size, which was at one time four pages, is now limited to two pages; and its editorial staff, which once consisted of seniors only, now includes seniors, juniors, and sophomores. But this docs not mean that the 1944-45 staff is doing an unsuccessful job. Due to the hardworking ability of the staff and reporters, this wartime Tartan, in spite of handicaps, has been doing a noteworthy job. In many other colleges the weekly newspaper has been discontinued but the Carnegie Tartan has appeared every week as an interesting and vital part of campus life. Gathering the latest news, informing students of what is going on, recording events of interest, voicing student opinions, and crusading tor a better school is only a small part ol the Tartan’s job. Additional features include personality stories on various Students and teachers, news about Techites in service, and criticisms of Drama 78 Firrl AW.- ISim'rr. A. K.. Ilcrlick, A. C.

The present editor of the Tartan is Adeline llerlick who was co-editor with Ernie Lowenstein until the middle of the year. Ernie's departure for the Army left a large gap in the stall' for he was a sincere worker and an enthusiastic promoter of college spirit. Me deserves much of the credit for the Tartan’s continued importance and Adeline has been carrying on in his policy. The rest of the editorial board is made up of Clara Herron, managing editor; Augie Binder, assistant managing editor; Dorothy King, news editor; Mary Jane Horridge, copy editor; and Tom Bokman ‘sports editor. Tartan in the making Deadline! THE TECHNICAL Leonard S. Lkrman Editor I lie I cclinical. a bain- publication on campus, now in its eighth year is fast gaining recognition not only on campus, but beyond our doors as well. I he publication is a technical magazine headed by Lcnnie Lerman as Editor-in-Chief, and Don Schacher as Managing Editor. The magazine was originally for engineers, but now it offers appeal to all of us. Introductory survey articles and technical features are of interest to the technician. And especially now for our fast moving world, the Technical keeps us abreast with political and social problems. A new angle that is proving interesting is the presentation of articles on Fine Arts for engineers. The publication doesn’t overlap any classroom discussions, and the writing is obtained from a vast source. Students do the majority of the articles, and the next largest group of contributors is the faculty. Occasionally outsiders competant in their fields, such as members of the Pennsylvania Medical Association and Engineering Societies, contribute their articles. The art work displayed in the covers, and in cartoons, and other spots throughout the magazine is being carried out by Dot tie King, with her helpers represented by architects, P ' I)’s, and sculpturers. The magazine really gets around because it goes to many other colleges in the United States, to the alumnae, and it has even been discovered in New Zealand. So you see anything that is as interesting, versatile, anti as well known as the Technical is a sure-bet. Fifrt Ro r: Binder, A K. C.il.ion. I . P.. Ca«tncr, P. S.. Sth� � cr, 1). I.. Uinun, L.

Every Tuesday evening and Thursday afternoon the members of the Women’s Glee Club could be found rehearsing under the capable direction of Mrs. Harriet Kurtz and Mary Margaret Juhic, the student directress. They spent many hours in preparation for the concerts which they gave at various schools and churches around Pittsburgh. This year the Glee Club gave two large concerts at home, a Christmas Concert, and the annual Spring Concert. They also sang in Chapel several times during the year. Members of the Glee Club are from all of the colleges of Carnegie lech. The Glee Club provides an excellent opportunity for those who enjoy singing. Every student must try out at the beginning of the year and is placed in the group according to type of voice. The concerts are fun. after a lot of time and hard work have been put into them. WOMEN’S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Unt Will. M.. Ililf, K.. Quill. F. Sant. M A’.'-': McKenna. C.. Flanayan. R . Ford. C One of the oldest organizations on the campus is the Women's Athletic Association. Though its purpose is to promote a general active interest in sports, it is especially interested in encouraging juniors and seniors, for whom physical education is not required, to participate in various sports. Every Tech Co-ed is automatically a member; every wearer of class numerals, a white regulation sweater, or a Cameron plaid “C, is a prominent member. T hese awards are earned by the accumulation of hours of sports. And what are the opportunities for physically energetic Carnegie Tech Women? They include: archery, badminton, baskct! all, bowling, horseback riding, ping pong, swimming, tennis, and volleyball. Surely the women of Carnegie will not let these physical education resources” go to waste. 82 CHAPEL CHOIR The sole purpose of this year’s Chapel Choir lias been to provide the music aside from hymns at the Tuesday morning chapel services in the Little Theatre. The music has l� ecn largely of the devotional sort, in keeping with the rest of the program. This lends a more spiritual atmosphere to the service. This year Chapel Choir, with its membership of twenty-live, represents almost every department of the school. There are no officers aside from the director. The plan carried out by the group has been to have a different organ accompanist at each service. Several times a year the Chapel Choir is invited to different churches throughout the city where they offer a varied program of beautiful religious music. The fine work of this small, but worthy organization, is recognized and appreciated by not only every chapelgoer, but by the student body as a whole. flic Carnegie Tech Amateur Transmitters Club has liecn surprisingly active during the past year, considering that since Decemlxrr 7, 1941, the Federal Communications Commission has kept all U. S. amateur stations off the air. Prcliminiary steps have been taken for the installment of a transmitter to enable programs originating in one part of the school to be received anywhere in the immediate vicinity. In addition, some time has been spent on the War Emergency Radio Service. Flans for the future include the improvement of equipment and the rebuilding of the antenna system, the fourth antenna arrangement in ten years. Although active membership is open only to those who are licensed “hams,” anyone interested in radio is eligible for associate membership. The faculty advisor is Professor Williamson, and the members are: Theresa McLaughlin, Chief Operatcr; Daniel Schacher; Edward Pearl-stein; George Baldwin; and Kenneth Lipnian. 83 HOME ECONOMICS CLUB A'.-.v Scbltrniluu r, A .

Its purpose is to develop on the part of the students a l ottor understanding of Home Economics. Membership is open to any girl at Tech who is interested in this subject. The year started with the installation of the following officers: President, Martha Sant; Vice- President. Mary Vincent; Secretary, Clementine McKenna: Treasurer. Mildred Murrer. The program for the year included a bullet supper with entertainment, and a scries of lectures. Another of the club’s activities was the project of making and selling fruit cakes for Christmas. I he club also helped in the reorganization of the Home Economics Department. The year was concluded with the installation of the senior members into the National Home Economics Association.

The Women's Guild is a philanthropic society which gives scholarships to worthy women students on campus. It is a representative body composed of members chosen from every women's organization on campus. Once you arc a member of the Guild, you are one for the remainder of the time you are at Carnegie Tech. The activities of Guild consist of two or three ta£ days which help provide the money for scholarships, an occasional coke party, and the highlight of the year’s activities. The Guild dance. These activities are planned and managed by the president and other officers who are elected in the spring. They remain officers on the Guild throughout the following year. Guild is gaining cooperation from other campus organizations and is becoming prominent as one of Tech’s most valuable organizations. It is certainly most worthy of every student’s support. 84 MODERN DANCE CLUB Third Ro '; K. Wmlicrgrf, K. Kli «, H. Darling. K. C� rixnl«r, M. A. Rhoilca. Src nd R r: J. Clark, Riitli llaui. A.

Under the leadership of Miss Dorothy Kanrieh, women's physical education instructor, the members devote two hours weekly to the club. Membership is by invitation only t«� those students who have had previous training, either private or in the gym classes, and who show true interest in dance. The fourteen members of the Modern Dance Club not only meet once a week to practice the technique of expression in movement and to compare their own dances, but also to make a point of seeing how other dance groups. both professional anti amateur, express themselves. In this way they are able to find new and interesting ideas. A big social affair is made ol the appearance of the Ballet Theatre or the Monte Carlo Ballet in Pittsburgh with the members having dinner together, then attending the ballet in a group.

There are at present twenty-four charter members, many of whom have seen action in Pacific and European theaters of operation. The club seeks to protect and to promote the interests of the veterans and to help them obtain the maximum benefits of college life. Every effort is made by the club to welcome new veterans to Carnegie, and to see that they quickly become acquainted with the buildings, customs, and traditions of the school. A special orientation committee headed by Edward J. Wiernoxz. Lt. Commander, was founded to accomplish the main purpose of the club. Regular meetings are held on the first Friday of each month in the Carnegie Union. The social program by Myron Glass includes smokers, motion pictures, guest speakers, and parties. 85 YOUNG MEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Top Row: Navarro. P-. Herrmann. R, Scipcl, I. II.. RuWno. P. A.

It furthers aggressive Christian work by the students and endeavors to train them for future service to their fellow men. Both students and faculty compose the membership in this organization. The faculty members operate under the title of the Committee of Management, while the students operate under the name of the ”Y” Cabinet which this year includes second semester freshmen, as well as upperclassmen. The “Y” this year has worked with the orientation of the Freshmen, sponsored entertainment for the service men on campus, handled regional conventions, held dances, and worked in conjunction with the C. W. C. A. on several projects. The most noteworthy of these joint projects were the week-end retreats and the annual dinners at Christmas and Thanksgiving.

Carnegie Women’s Christian Association is an organization that is open to every girl on the campus. Its purpose is to foster individual spiritual well being and Christian character among the women students at Carnegie Tech. One of the most appreciated acts of the C. W. C. A. is the welcome given to the incoming freshman girls. Juniors and seniors, acting as Big Sisters, help each freshman through the difficulties of the first few weeks. This year, C. W. C. A. sponsored a “Tech-Pitt-PCW Get-together Dinner” with George Menke as speaker. Among the other activities were an International party at Pitt and a week-end retreat at Carondawana. For the first time in the history of the Carnegie Women’s Christian Association, activity keys have been awarded to the members of the Cabinet who have l cen active for two years. 86 SCIENCE CLUB •'nrnl K.M.

The program of lectures, field trips, and parties hail a good beginning with a demonstration of glass blowing bv Carnegie Tech’s own Mr. Putman. Besides all this, an active program of individual experiments was started in February of this year with meetings held in Margaret Morrison College on Wednesday evenings. The members proudly wear the club pin, which is a benzene ring around a squib symbolizing the two sciences of Chemistry and Biology. Under the guidance of the entire Science Department and the special care of Dr. Miller and Miss Tuttle, this club promises great things. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB E, 1: Seulv.n, C., S'ulwn. S-.

The Council is made up of the presidents and vice presidents of the upperclass dormitories and the presidents of the Freshmen houses. The officers are: Catherine Lowery, president; Betty McKean, vice president: Evelyn iMacNeill, secretary-treasurer. This year the Council held a tea for the house mothers and organized a bowling league. One of their most successful parties was the one given for Freshmen women. At this party each Freshmen dorm presented a five-minute skit for the members of the Council. 88 THISTLE QUEENS_____ i I I I i i i I I I I I I I I I At an election held by the Thistle Staff this winter, five senior girts were selected to grace the pages of the Thistle as Queens. Nominees were picked by each of the sororities and by the independent women on their merits of poise, charm, and personality. Probably everybody in the whole school knows Peggy Cole, the nominee from Kappa Alpha Theta. This popular Theta was also a member of the l()44 thistle Court. Her many activities include president of Kappa Alpha Theta, Jlortar Board, secretary of Interhonary Council, Technical layout editor, and vice-president of Cwens. Vivacious Doris Fast was selected by the Kappa Kappa Gammas as their representative. She is one of the very active members of the Drama Department. She had a leading role in The Old Maid, the Shakespearean production, All’s Well that 1'lnds Well, and The Old Ladies. The Tri-Dell nominee, lovely Jane Fredericson, in private life is a missus. She is taking Nurses’ Training and is a member oj Mortar Board and Cwens. Rea Simon, popular and active independent, is a member oj the Home F.conomics department. Among her activities she includes Modern Dance Club, Cwens. JI..JI.C.C. Senate, Cut, Tartan, J.R.C., Household Economics Club and president oj Jlortar Board. She also has been a member of several Queen’s courts during her years at lech. Cute Margie Volk, active member of Delta Gamma, is a member of the Home Economics Club. She is the panal-chairman of her sorority. Her other interests are centered around the Costume Ec. Department and that man oj hers who is overseas. 92 PEGGY COLE 93 JANE FREDERICSON DORIS FAST QUEENS— MARGIE VOLK — -QUEENS __ BASKETBALL 1944-45 Prospects for Coach Max Ilannum's basketball season this time were highly encouraging. Among the Freshman class were some boys who had been high school stars in the district, and lettermen returning from the previous year. Hannum proceeded to convert his good high school players into good college players. Naturally, this couldn’t be made an overnight process, and when the team won its opener from Slippery Rock by 27-25 it was still evident they had a long way to come. This was proved three days later at Beaver Falls, still determined and improving rapidly, when they met Case, an opponent more their calibre. Tech took a second-quarter lead and won 52-40. Then Westminster's giants came to town and took a thriller from the underdog Tech team. After the Christmas recess, Pitt paid us its traditionally ominous visit and won by 59-45. Penn State, loo, make a profitable visit and had no trouble in subduing Maxie's still-trving team. This time it was really a rout, though, for the score BASKETBALL AND Firtl fto : Kostin . Scherb.

Juniata College proved hospitable, and allowed the Tartans to salt away their third victory 56-51. Then, after West Virginia put us down, Pitt had another field day 61-47. Allegheny game was the last for the team's two outstanding players. Captain Mike Theodore, and fiery Leo Clougherty, anti their passing was celebrated with a 59-57 victory. In spite of difficulties, a great deal of credit goes to Mel Klein, Tasso Katselas. “Tami” Morinello, Vince Fastuca, Oreste Scioscia, Johnny Ackerman, Mike Theodore, Leo Clougherty and Bill Scherb for their yoernan service. Coach Max 1 (annum did his usual swell Job with an eager group of boys, and the whole season was entirely satisfactory. SWIMMING TEAM The swimming team had five meets this season which is one more than last year. Two meets were with Oberlin—one at C.I.T. and the other at Oberlin; two were with the downtown Y.M.C.A. one at C.I.T. and the other at the “Y”; one was with Baldwin-Wallace College at Berea, Ohio. The two out-of-town meets (against Oberlin and Baldwin-Wallace) were scheduled so as to make one week-end suffice. There were only three returning members from last year’s team, but the freshmen and other newcomers filled out the depleted squad to make a total of fourteen. In spite of the deficiency ol experienced men, the team scored two victories both against the Y.M.C.A. Oberlin and Baldwin-Wallace, with their Navy V-12, teams, proved too strong. Although the war has decreased the numbers of the scheduled meets and the numlier of participants, Coach Risedorph’s team has made a good showing and has kept up school spirit in the field of sports. The swimming season was ended with the traditional party which Mr. Riscdorph gives for the boys. SWIMMING Fir ! Itmtl, Atpinwall, Kmcnun, Straka. La(u«ru !a. SteonJ R%'. CWnd«n o. ( ottr man.

Major Boberg With the termination of the Army Specialized Training Program at Tech early in the fall, the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps found itself once again the principal military activity on the campus. During the past two years, because of certain War Department policies and also because of the decrease in enrollment, the training and numerical strength of the Corps of Cadets have differed somewhat from that of peace times. All military instruction now given in the ROIC is Branch Immaterial,” incorporating the fundamental requirements of all branches of the Armed Forces. The purpose of Branch Immaterial instruction is twofold: first, as always, to give students training in the basic military courses; and second, to give pre-induction training to those who probably will be inducted into the Armed Forces in the near future. Under peacetime policies, the outstanding men who had completed the basic course were selected for two more years of training in the Advanced Course which led to a commission in the Officers' Reserve Corps of the Army. Hundreds of Tech graduates who earned C.R.C. commissions through ROTC arc now on active duty in the Army under those commissions. They are making outstanding records for themselves, their school, and their country. Although the Advanced Course of the ROTC has l)cen temporarily suspended because of lack of candidates, it is expected that it will Ik reinstated after the war or as soon as an increase of qualified civilian enrollment warrants. With the dual purpose of military training in mind, approximately one hundred of the present male student body of Tech are now enrolled in the ROIC, with seventeen year old freshmen being in the majority. Under the direction of Major Raymond W. Boberg, Commanding Officer, the Corps of Cadets was reorganized into a batallion of two companies. The batallion commander is Cadet Major George A. Rahall, and his adjutant 100 is Cadet Captain Constantine C. Corey. The officers of Company A arc Cadet Captain Richard T. Huntoon commanding, with Cadet First Lieutenant Millard F. Brown second in command. Company B ollicers arc Cadet Captain Clark Sloan commanding, and Cadet First Lieutenant Boris E. Abrams second in command. The Corps has continued in spite of difficulties to maintain its “excellent” rating as an honor school in the annual Federal Inspection, an honor it has held continuously since its establishment. The blue star worn on the right sleeve of the uniform of all members of the Corps of Cadets is the visual sign of the War Department rating. The personnel compliment of the 5364 Service Unit (ROTC) of the Army, which is stationed at Tech to administer the ROTC are Major Raymond W. Boberg, Inf., commandant; Master Sergeant Dennis M. Dobbs, DF.ML, Unit Sergeant Major and Supply Sergeant; and Corporal Walter L. Bonk, I leadquarters Clerk, and Assistant Supply Sergeant. The officers and non-commissioned officers are also members of the Department of Military Science and Tactics of the school in a teaching capacity in military subjects. Major Boberg is P.M.S. T., Captain John I). Thomas is the Assistant R.M.S. '1'.. and Sergeant Dobbs is instructor, rifle coach, and assistant to the military property custodian of the school. 101 BOOK 3 C. F.

COUNCIL OF FRATERNITY PRESIDENTS In an effort to give as much ait! as possible to the fraternities still existent on campus in solving the problems brought about by the war, the Council of Fraternity Presidents last fall took over the duties of peace time Interfraternity Council, whose activities were frozen for the duration. The organization hopes to carry on the functions of the Interfraternity Council as nearly as possible, and acts as an advisory group on all matters concerning interfraternity affairs. Representation is by the president of each of the eight fraternities with anv active members on campus. The officers are Ralph Happe, chairman; Thomas linkman, secretary; Davis B. Jones, Jr., treasurer; and Dean John M. Daniels, faculty advisor. The large Halloween dance, most important social event of the fall term and largest dance to be seen at Tech for many months, was sponsored by C. F. P., and other projects of interfraternity interest were undertaken by it. PANHELLENIC COUNCIL As most of the sororities on campus had joined national women's fraternities, Panhellenic Council was organized in the fall of 1944 to replace the old Intersororitv Council. Composed of a junior and a senior representative from each of the seven sororities, Panhellenic has as its purpose the fostering of good will among the sororities. The Council regulates rushing activities through its code, and also acts as an advisory group for the members of the sororities. The Council has revised the rushing rules for the fall semester of 1945. By this change, Panhellenic hopes to establish a fairer and more efficient system. As its social function for this year, the organization sponsored a Panhellenic Bridge, in which all the sororities participated. Because of the war, other social functions have been curtailed by the Council. Panhellenic in its first year shows that it will soon be one of the best organized groups on the campus. 104 KAPPA SIGMA Clititlir. I). II . SiniMR, ) W„ Stewart. I). F. Anderson. R. G. The Delta Alpha Chapter of Kappa Sigma is doing its best to keep up in the activities that l cfore the war made their fraternity one of the most prominent on campus. In spite of the fact that all but four of their members are now in the Armed Services, the fraternity was this past year active both in the iootball and basketball seasons. In football, under the title of KSAE's (Kappa Sigma-Sigma Alpha Epsilon) they gained distinction by sharing the honors with the SAE’s in the campus football championship. Because ol the cancellation of the engineering student’s deferments (an act which resulted in many of their members being drafted) and the depletion in their ranks, the PiKA's of Pitt have taken over their house with the understanding that the Kappa Sig’s are to find the doors open to them, at any time. The Clyde-Streeter's,” (so-called because their house was situated on Clyde street) who for twenty-two years have had many well-known parties on campus, are looking forward with the hope that not too far in the future they will again l e able to return to our campus in full strength with even bigger and better doings. 105 BETA SIGMA RHO Mima, R I...

Beta Sigma Rho has been an active fraternity on Carnegie Tech’s campus for over twenty years, ami during that time it has held an important place in school activities. Although the war has left Beta Sigma Rho with only a few members, they are keeping up the traditions and the aims of the fraternity. When the war began, they were forced to give up their house, and move into the Pi Lunula Phi house at the University of Pittsburgh. They stayed there for two semesters, and then moved into the Sigma Alpha Kpsilon house here at Tech where they plan to remain until war conditions permit them to have their own house. The members are quite active in extra-curricular activities: namely, the Technical, basketball. Discussion Club, Radio Club, A. C. A. C.. Carnegie War Committee. They were also well represented in honoraries such as Tau Beta Pi. Pi Delta Kpsilon. Theta Tau. Eta Kappa Nu, Phi Kappa Phi. Interhonorarv Council, and Intramural Board. While they were not able to have a normal social season, they did hold their annual tea for freshmen women. The Zeta chapter of Beta Sigma Rho has about seventy men in the service, and they have lost live of their boys who were lighting in various theaters of the war. They keep in constant touch with these boys and practically every week-end brings one “home” to see their fraternity. All the members have manv plans for the future of Beta Sigma Rho. 106 Fir,! -_■ Rownvacti. I. B.. Srhacber, I). L, Sljne. M. C. SttvnJ Aitcnlxrc. I. «M.. R I. . Bnlo� il(. C. S.

In spite of its losses to the Armed Forces, it has managed to continue its activities at Tech. Although the Gamma Iota chapter is mainly composed of freshmen, it is represented in all the remaining activities. Two of its members are on ACAC, several are on the Thistle and Tartan staff, and others represent the fraternity in the Y” Cabinet. Alpha Phi Omega, and the various sports. Socially, the chapter has been able to re-enact some of the pre-war college affairs. With the Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Chi chapters at Pitt, Beta Theta Pi held the Miami Triad formal, returning to a custom which had been shelved for several years. Other highlight social affairs which were particularly impressive were the picnic at Justin lice’s estate, the old-clothes party, the breakfast after the Interfraternitv dance, and the Orphan’s Party. According to its annual custom, the singing fraternity again serenaded the women's dormitories. Scholastically Beta has excelled with the highest factor on campus, continuing to maintain the record which won her the scholarship cup. With the hope that her members lost to the Armed Forces will soon return, Beta Theta Pi is determined to carry on. first ft.:-: McOoolv. R J.. Matlrska. J. II.. Wicklinc. R.B, llaycs. R. W.

It’s the expected thing for the Delts to hold a dance every Saturday evening. Teas, stag parties, hay rides, and dances are a very important part of Delt life. A L'il Abner Party was the successful climax of this year's pledging. Their social activities are not their only objective. The Delts are capable assistants on all of the school publications. Angie Binder is an enthusiastic worker for the Tartan as well as being the Copy Editor. The Shelter is often the host of returning brothers who are in the service. T he Delts are looking forward to the post-war return to the fold of all their soldiers, sailors, and marines, who are serving their country both at home and abroad. Pint ftr-v Van Sort. J. E.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon, founded in (he South in 1856, is (he largest fraternity in the United States. Although many of its members have entered the services, its membership is still increasing. Those remaining at Tech take an important part in various school activities. On the athletic field the abilities and potentialities exhibited by the S. A. K.’s during the past year arc seen to be definitely improved as indicated by their outstanding showings. While maintaining their spirit of entering all competitions, win or lose, they are coming out well up in the scoring. The two special participations in sports by the fraternity were the annual basketball game with their Pitt brothers, and the intramural football games, one of which was composed exclusively of S. A. E.'s. Also, the boys took time off from strenuous schedules for a few dances and dorin serenades. This year, embodying all of the gains that have been made in recent years to insure security, well l eing, and continued growth, the present members have kept, as the foremost things in their minds, the necessity for future insurance that the fraternity will carry on the tradition which has l een formed— the tradition of striving to perpetuate plans for continued achievement with an ever advancing goal. hut Rat: R«acIm, R M , KrwngoulU.

Although Psi chapter of Tan Delta Phi is the youngest chapter of any fraternity on campus, it has ample reason to he prom! of the reputation it has earned while at Tech. Of its 175 past and active memlx rs, over 75 are in the armed forces. Its men have rccieved many decorations for heroic action and some others have given their lives for our country. Major Fred Labovitz received the bronze and silver stars, while Frank Mandcll was one of the first American olliccrs to lx- killed in the Solomon Islands. The hoys have been kept busy with their school work this year, hut (hey have managed to find time to indulge in many extra-curricular activities. Tau Delta Phi's record of participation in campus allairs is one of distinction. The members of the fraternity have served with merit on such organ-zations as the Tartan, the Technical. Interfraternity Council, Army Civilian Activities Committee, the swimming team, and the basket-ball team. The loss of many of its men has not hindered its social affairs. The Freshman Women’s 'Pea, early morning breakfasts after major all-school affairs, and Saturday night dances are still an attraction at the house on Walnut Street. Notwithstanding the loss of men to the Armv, Navy, Marines, and Air Corps, the Tau Delta Phi Fraternity has lx en able to carry on the traditional spirit of the fraternity and make this, their fifteenth year on Tech's campus, an outstanding anil most successful one.

At Tech, Pi Chapter of Theta Xi was installed June 15, 1912 as the first national fraternity on the campus and retained the distinction of being the only one here for five years. Now in 1944-45 Theta Xi, from its house on Forbes Street, is striving despite the war’s drain on its membership to maintain its fine tradition of friendship and activity. It boasts, at present, of thirteen members and nine pledges. Again this year Theta Xi was prominent in social and extra-curricular activities. In spite of its limited membership. Theta Xi has refused to let the war curtail its social program. Small parties and dances were held throughout the year with a big Christmas party as one of its highlights. Aside from its own affairs T X has taken a prominent part in interfraternity affairs. Extra-curricular activities also found Theta Xi represented. Making a flying start in the field of intermural sports. Theta Xi copped the prize in the softball league and has been consistently high in the other campus sports. They are, further, enthusiastic and willing workers in all school activities, clubs, and honoraries. Theta Xi, like all other fraternities, has been greatly affected by the war but is looking forward with the rest to the day when, with flags flying and membership renewed, they can take again their rightful place on the campus.

Kappa is a social fraternity of Catholic men which is nation-wide in its scope. Founded at Brown University in 1889, the fraternity has grown rapidly, until at tjie present time it embraces twenty-six chapters at various colleges throughout the country. Its representative at Carnegie Tech, the Rho chapter, has been active since 192a. During the past year, the chapter has weathered what its brothers fondly hope is the worst storm it will ever be called upon to face. Graduation and enrollment in the Armed Services last summer reduced the membership to a new low. The brothers who have remained, however, have done their part to further a tradition of the fraternity by taking part to a considerable extent in sports, honorarics, publications, and various other school activities. With the advent of the fall semester, prospects for the future of the chapter became brighter. Assisted by ail active alumni association, important progress has been made toward infusing new life into the fraternity. Regular meetings and discussions, frequent dances and dinners, and a variety of other social functions served to reinaugurate on a somewhat smaller scale the activities which were formerly characteristic of the fraternity. Rushing activities have shown decidedly promising results, and this fact, together with a definite hope that the chapter house will be reaquired in the comparatively near future, indicates that the fraternity will retake lost ground, and in addition, will make new progress in the future. 120 or ' Waiihlcr, !., PrrriJtnt.

CHI OMEGA Winning the Greek Sing ami Swing cup, the Inter-Sorority Scholarship cup for the eighth time in seventeen years, holding oflicers in Inter-Sorority Council, Phi Kappa Phi, Women’s Rifle Team and Women's Athletic Association, memberships in Sigma Alpha Iota, Activities Council, Tartan, Women's Guild, Cwcns, and Mortar Board -these are the accomplishments made by the Omicron Delta Chapter of Chi Omega in the past year. After their formal installation last summer, the Chi Omegas breezed through a successful rushing season in bright coral jumpers with dark green shoulder bags. The rush season was highlighted by a candlelight chocolate, an evening in Paris at a side-walk cafe and a gay nineties coke party. The Chi O’s then retired to the country for a week end of fun and relaxation at the home of Dottie l avlor. Other social events consisted of a hay ride held in the fall. After the formal initiation of the pledges, a dinner was given in their honor at the Jacktown Hotel. In addition, the Chi Omegas, together with Mrs. llyde, their personnel adviser, conducted a Christmas Booth at the Endowment Fund Benefit. Other members work at the USO Canteen, Deshon Hospital, and in Red Cross Blood Drives. The warm feeling of friendship strengthened by fraternity bonds is evidenced by the frequent return of their alumnae to take part in the Chi Omega affairs. May each year be as happy and successful a one as this, their first. hintR� tr; .M.-Ciillniifh, C., Whitcrcll, ,M., Bury, A. V. SrxvnJ tow: Hr rnal. .'1. Ifuntakcr. ,M. ()., .McCall. M. L., Co r, I).

When school resumed, all the Deltas returned full of pep, vim, and vigor for our first national rushing with Delta Delta Delta. Tn Delt rushing was highlighted by a Hawaiian Party at the Union, a Mardi Gras at Eleanor Squiticri's home, and a tea at the home of one of our sponsors. Mrs. Lott. We considered our rushing season very successful. With new pledges to help us, we launched our initial post-rushing event, which was a tea to honor Kathleen Davis, our traveling secretary, and the Tri Deltas from Pitt. This was followed by a slumber party at the Girl Scout Cabin in North Park. It took us at least a week to recover from that. The Alliance Banquet and our Christmas Party were given la-tween semesters. Second semester saw detailed plans laid for many social functions. First on the list was the beautiful formal initiation after which our pledges were welcomed into the chapter. They participated with us in the Charter Day Banquet on February 12, the Theater Party, our Mother's Day Tea, Pansy and Senior Breakfasts, and finally our Spring Formal. Through the year we interspersed some cultural meetings into our program of business ones, at which prominent men and women spoke to us on pertinent subjects. Tri Deltas had a most successful year and we are looking forward to another school term. RoKlinr. C.. Clark. |. R . Menton. N. C.. Paliuf. t� „ Carpenter. C. P„ ban . R. hint ?.•� •: Robb, B. A..

Even in the summer there were activities, for example, the hunt for Bcrnic Long's shoes at the picnic and swimming party given by the fraternity's sponsors, Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Gregg. Good times were continued later at Cottv Ixjwry’s summer home at Lime Lake, where the fraternity actives aud alumnae enjoyed a hilarious week. The first event of the fall semester was a pajama party at Jean Garland's. For rushing, which l egan the following day, the girls blossomed forth in wooly pink cardigans and little blue dinks, thus, carrying out the fraternity colors. At the close of rushing season there were twelve young ladies wearing the gold and white shield of Delta Gamma. These pledges were formally welcomed at a dinner where they each received a blue dink. Carrying out the fraternity tradition that the newly engaged treat the group to candy, Margery Loeffler presented the girls with a five pound box of chocolates. The new girls were ready to take their places in leadership and scholarship along with their older sisters who are members of Cwens, Mortar Board, Phi Kappa Phi, C.W.C.A., and Pi Delta Epsilon. Delta Gammas are not only active, but also hold officers in almost every women's organization on campus. By combining fun and fellowship with scholastic achievement the Delta Gammas have had another successful year. Delta Gamma can be proud of its baby chapter. Fif t ffiw: Guthridjr, J . Schleinitrauer.

Gamma Gamma Gamma, tltrough twenty-two years of Carnegie Tech history, has played an important and active part in the life of the campus. •At present the Sorority is represented in A.C.A.C., SigmanAlpha lota, Glee Club, Women's Dormitory Council.• Chapel Choir. Women's Guild, Dance Club, C. .T. War Committee, and Orchestra. The girls of Gamma Gamma Gamma take particular pride in their record of recent years in Sing and Swing, in which they won first place in 1945 with a medley from Sigmund Romberg and tied for first place in 1944 with a medley of Noel Coward son iis. Besides holding their regular meetings and participating in all campus functions, such as making and operating a booth at Women's Guild Dance, the 'In-Gams enjoyed an active social program of Ixnvling, skating, and dinner parties, and thev spent a memorable week-end at the country home of the Sorority President. Last spring thev entertained the officers of the other live sororities at a theater party. I his year the girls are busy with plans to become aililiated with a national sorority, and hope to have completed such plans by the opening of school next fall. Many distinguished alumnae who have won honors in professional life wear the Tri-Gam pin, a black shield surrounded with pearls and liearinc the Greek letters PIT. But Gamma Gamma Gamma will not rest on her laurels. Her motto Give your best, live your greatest with God as vour Guide, Tri-Gamma forever, will not lie idle words. ✓ A .- AMI p.

Alter a week’s rest at Van Buren, the Kappas were ready for school and sorority rushing. 1 hey were distinguished on enmnus during the rushing season by their navy blue blazers with the letters of Kappa Kappa Gamma in light blue on the pocket. On September 20. fifteen girls were pledged to KKG at a pledge ceremony followed by a dinner. The Kappas have been extremely busy this past year with school activities and social events. Several of the girls were elected to Mortar Board, C wens, Pi Delta Kpsilon, A.C.A.C. and Dorm Council; while others have been active on the Thistle, Women’s Guild, Women’s Glee Club, CAV.C.A., and the Student Handbook. Besides these activities, the Carnival and Thistle Queens, two members of the Thistle Court, and the CAV. C.A. president wore the golden key of Kappa Kappa Gamma. Time was also devoted to war activities, such as the Blood Donor’s Drive on campus in November. The social events consisted of dinners, teas, slumber parties, gatherings with the Pitt Kappas, pledge-active party, and a dance given by the Phi Beta Pi’s of Pitt for the Pitt and Tech Kappas at the University Club in February. One of the biggest thrills for the Kappas was when one of their sororilv sisters enlisted in the WACs. We believe that the Kappas have found their place on campus as a national fraternity, and that Kappa Kappa Gamma should Ik- proud of Delta Xi Chapter at Carnegie l ech. Pint Raw: Wol, I.. M .

Its support of the various war organizations is notable, for although it is a small organization, it is not content to do things in a small way. In answer to the plea made by the Red Cross for more blood plasma. A. E. Phi was the organization with the highest percentage of blood donors. In support of the Sixth War Loan Drive and to help Tech reach its quota, A. E. Phi opened a booth in the canteen at which war bonds were sold. Last year she was able to contribute toward the purchase of one ambulance which was presented to the Red Cross in Pittsburgh for use overseas. This year the goal is two ambulances. The girls, in conjunction with its Alumnae Association. are planning a drive to collect enough money so that they can contribute a major portion toward this goal. Alpha Epsilon Phi’s Ixmndless energies are becoming more apparent. It is no wonder that her motto, “Many hearts, one purpose.” is applicable to Alpha Nu, for each and every girl strives to do her part in whatever way she can. SecanJR : Kwall. I , Hertz. N-.

Not bad at all! It’s not good for the figure, but who cares! Nice car. Watch the poison ivy! Why should an executor he skilled and experienced? T1 A HIS is a logical question. And it has a logical answer. An executor must be an expert because estate settlement is a difficult, complicated job—one with many stumbling blocks and pitfalls for the unwary. There are over thirty-two separate steps to be completed in the settlement of an estate. Carelessness, inexperience or lack of skill in handling any of these details might result in loss, confusion and delay. Select an expert for this job, just as you would choose an experienced architect to plan your home, or a seasoned lawyer to draw your will.

Shirley 3959 Butler Street Pittsburgh, Pa. THE YEAR THE TIDE TURNED... 1944 was the year of greatest advance in invention, science and industrial production in world history. Here is a part of that record as written by Westinghouse. In the new field of jet propulsion for (he Navy Bureau of Aeronautics, we developed the first completely American jet propulsion engine, which promises to produce more power, for its weight, than any of the European-designed engines now being built in this country. Aboard aircraft carriers .. new Westinghouse-designed elevators are in action. We found a way to get carrier planes to and from the flight deck faster, keeping it clear for flying operations. A development that has proved very important in getting more planes in the air quicker. We stayed on our jobs, 115,000 strong... no major strike or slowdown has occurred in any Westinghouse plant since war began. 14,867 employees earned cash Suggestion Awards for new ways to increase production, cut costs. We employed 5.620 honorably-discharged veterans, many of them wearers of the Purple Heart. In addition to the big job of operating our own plants . . . Westinghouse operated 3 of the 7 great Navy-owned ordnance plants. A promise for the future .. There is a lot to be done yet. .. and you can count on Westinghouse men and women to do their share of the war job as long as American men still fight anywhere. And when war is won. you can look to us for the best in electric appliances, radios, lighting, electrical equipment for industry . .. and for continued leadership in new fields. Electric power plants on wheels., wc built and delivered 34 Westinghouse Power Trains, each a complete power plant on railway cars. By means of these remarkable trains, electric service can be shipped to liberated and devastated areas behind the fighting fronts. Against enemies even more deadly than the Jap.. a mighty weapon was developed by Westinghouse engineers, co-operating with the Army and the Department of Agriculture. The enemy . . . disease-carrying insects. Scourge of fighting men through the ages! The weapon . . . the Bug Bomb, no bigger than a can of soup, means sudden death to insect pests in 250 pup tents or 50 big bombers. PRODUCTION A billion dollars’ worth of production and service . .. was delivered by Westinghouse to America in 1944. Nearly half the money wc received went for wages. Less than 3 cents per dollar were earned as profit on what we did. Wc paid the Government 102 millon dollars in taxes. For each dollar's worth of goods and services delivered wc kept only a little more than 2 Zi cents as net profit. Westinghouse Electric Manufacturing Company, Pittsburgh 30, Pa.
