The 1947 -Thistle Volume Forty CARNEGIE INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY SCHENLEY PARK, PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-SEVEN , 4 A1 Minctli For years Al Minelti answered the Tech student’s call of—“He want At.” Xow we, the 1)47 TllISTLK staff, wish to express the feeling oj the entire student body by dedicating this hook to the memory of “At,’’ a great little guy whom we will always remember as symbolizing what the spirit of Carnegie Tech should be. Contents ADMINISTRATION .... 18 SENIORS AND DEPARTMENTS . 32 ACTIVITIES 88 ATHLETICS 146 PERSONALITIES .... 164 SOCIAL 178 Foreword Reconversion—postwar problems—readjustment of veterans; these phrases arc heard with such frequency that their sound is familiar even though the significance may escape. But does the gravity of the subject merit all the talk? Considered objectively, Carnegie Tech’s problems arc nothing spectacular—very routine, in fact, except that they involve almost exclusively that subject of much conversation, the veteran. Three thousand selected students, largely veterans, pose new problems; finding space, for instance, both for them to live in and learn in. But the diligence of the Dean’s office solved this problem shortly. New faculty members combined with astute scheduling and room arrangement, facilitated the customary smooth functioning of classes. Our ratio of men to women has broken all recent records; once again the Drama Department can double-cast all the male roles in any play it selects for Little Theater presentation. And as further indications of the return to normalcy, Scotch and Soda is back, we have a football team again, and the registration line is longer than ever. Anyone concerned over how to behave around the returned veteran need not worry here; unless you shrewdly observe the uncertain indication given by parts of uniforms or search diligently for discharge buttons, the difference will be inscrutable to you. The things that set them apart are the rarely obvious aue differences and the quite encouraging and less conspicuous higher grade average. So, as you look through this book, see if there is any clue to the fact that most of the people represented have recently returned to a civilized state of existence. This is our way of saving the war is over, and that jjcople are people no matter what time of the century it is.

J 1 -@dm in i5 it a tion Our President, I)r. Rol ert Ernest Doherty, whose reputation in the world of engineering education is national, has successfully guided the institute through another year. lie is a member of the American Institute of Electrical Engineering, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Engineers’ Society of Western Pennsylvania, and many honorarics, such as: Eta Kappa Nu, Phi Kappa Phi, Theta Tau, Tau Beta Pi, and Sigma Xi. He is also Director of the Forbes National Bank, and now a member of the Board of Visitors to the United States Naval Academy. He has been a prolific writer on engineering subjects, contributing to numerous journals. In 1956, in collaboration with E. G. Keller, he published Mathematics of Modern Engineering”. I hnvcver, his greatest technical contribution was the part he played in the development of the high-tension electrical system that now enmeshes the country and that has changed both industrial and domestic life. He also presented a series of papers to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers from 1918 to 1950. These dealt with the design and performance of synchronous machines and with related problems. For his individual contributions and the leadership that he provided for others in the engineering profession, President Doherty received the Lamme Medal of the Society for Promotion of Engineering Education in 1946. President Doherty has always advocated the study of humanistic and social studies for engineers. Harvard University has just issued a report. “General Education in a Free Society” in which the development of such studies in engineering colleges is recommended. Harvard has just written the first chapter. Tech has written the second, and the third chapters under the guidance of its President. It has planned, carried out, anti seen the fine results of this new phase of education. For his outstanding work in American engineering, President Doherty has been invited to speak at the Institute of Mechanical Engineers of England, centenary meeting, in London, June 8 through 18, on the Professional Training of Engineers in both College and Industry.” Painting and music are his hobbies, and many of his paintings have been exhibited. He has held one-man shows at Purdue University, Yale University, and Carnegie Institute. Last year he was awarded first prize bv the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh for his self-portrait. Every student is proud to have Dr. Doherty as our President, for we all realize the skill and ability that he has employed in handling the affairs of this great institution, and making it one of the first-ranking schools in this country. 21 Carnegie l ech Executive Board Mehl, Alexander, Warner, Cleeton, Warden, Patton, Doherty, Jones, Johnstone.

It has jurisdiction over all student organizations at Tech and all extra-curricular, non-athletic student activities, except those controlled by the Dormitory Councils or Interfraternity or Panhellenic Councils. At the present time there are seventeen voting members and four non-voting members. The work of Student Council is carried on by means of various committees appointed by the President. Meetings are held every Wednesday at 4:30 in the Carnegie Union and are open to any student who wishes to come and listen, or to express his opinion on any subject dealing with the work of Council or with anything under the jurisdiction of Council. Freshman Regulations were supervised by Council. After the Traditions Exam was given, there was an informal dance in the Gym with Hill Leroy's orchestra—free to all freshmen and their dates -to celebrate the end of regulations. This was the first all-school dance of the season and turned out more successfully than anticipated. Council has given the students a full social calendar for 1946-47 with at least one all-school dance a month. This, along with other affairs, helped bring Tech up to the standard of the pre-war schedule. 26 Dr. Miner, Eschenbach, R., Mellott, C., Binder, A., Heckman, R., Snoyer, E., Dr. Work. Student-Faculty Few people on campus have heard of the Student-Faculty Liaison Committee of the College of Engineering and Science. Nevertheless, it is an important organization, for it provides a unique opportunity lor students and faculty members to confer and to attempt to understand each others' view-points. The Committee was formed in July, 1944, to provide a means for the students to acquaint the faculty with their opinions, criticisms, and suggestions to improve the effectiveness of the College as an educational unit. Aims of the committee, as stated when it was founded, are: calling attention to problems which ommittee the students believe merit consideration; providing a source of student opinion in matters requiring student-faculty attention; helping to improve teaching methods: and making investigations anti obtaining information that will assist in pursuing the preceding aims. The Committee is at present composed ol I)r. Douglas F. Miner, Dr. Webster N. Jones, Dr. B. Richard Tea re, Jr., Dr. William R. Work, August K. Binder, Jr.. Richard C. Eschenbach, James D. Garner, Richard L. Heckman, Cloyd R. Mellott. and Ernest I). Snoyer. Liaison dent Conference Com The Student Conference Committee is one of the least known but most important groups on the Carnegie Tech campus. The leaders of the important organizations and publications meet with President Doherty once a month to discuss problems concerned with such things as eating facilities, changes in curriculum, relations with individual professors, and other problems important to both the students and faculty. The committee is appointed in part by Dr. Doherty while the remaining students automatically become members by virtue of the prominent campus offices they hold. This year the student members are James D. Garner, President, Student Council; Jean M. Price, Secretary, Student Council; Hubert I. Aaronson, Editor, Carnegie Technical; Richard C. Eschenbach, Editor, Carnegie Tartan; John T. Guvol, President, Men's Dormitory Council; Joanne Hipp, President, Women’s Dormitory Council; John D. Reese, President, Interfraternitv Council; Sarah R.

Interfraternitv Council This year's Interfraternity Council has had the pleasant opportunity of witnessing the revival of active, full-scale fraternity life at Carnegie Tech. It has seen Tech's fraternities expand and take on prominence in all school activities, as in prewar years. It is gratifying to every member to be a part of the organization which represents such line traditions. In ter fraternity Council has constantly striven to assist with the administration and student body in such school projects as the Community Chest Fund and Intramural athletics. It has served as a mediator through which fraternities can act as a group. It has oecn the coordinating force which has given fraternities a united front—encouraging joint action among fraternities, so that they may better serve themselves and the school. Nor has the Council been inactive socially. Three of the most enjoyable and spirited functions of the year were held under Interfraternity Council’s auspices: Homecoming Weekend House Decorations, the annual Interfraternity Dance, and Greek Sing and Swing. Homecoming weekend found Tech's fraternities ready to welcome the old alums. To foster school spirit, the Council awarded a plaque to the fraternity house or dormitory which put up the best decorations welcoming back the alumni. Later in the year, IF sponsored the highly successful Interfraternitv dance. Interfraternity Council is now very active; it has emerged this year with a larger number of men behind it than in the best prewar days. As a result it has acquired added responsibilities, both to the school and the fraternities. It shall meet these responsibilities by giving Carnegie Tech and the Greek world a year marked lioth by close cooperation among the individual fraternities and between the school and fraternities. Now, Interfraternity Council is ready to make straightforward progress toward those ideals for which fraternities exist. INTERFRATERNITV COUNCIL OFFICERS President Reese, J. Treasurer Gartner, II. Secretary SCHOKNBERGER, R. 28 . r T- PANHELLENIC COUNCIL OFFICERS President Sally Thompson ice President Sophie Zubroff Treasurer Patricia Baum Secretary Ada Bucy Panhellenic Council As the representative body of all the women's fraternities on the Tech campus, the Panhellenic Council serves as the coordinator of their activities and the policy maker of their yearly rushing efforts. With a strong group as the nucleus of sorority life, the individual Greek-lettcr organizations arc assured smooth, progressive planning, which in turn produces an advancement in the general social life at Carnegie. The power for such active progress is afforded by their ability to make and enforce rules related to rushing, to schedule the rushing season parties, and to establish (he number of girls that each group may bid. Added to this duty is the responsibility of aiding the women’s fraternities in meeting the freshmen girls by sponsoring monthly “coffee hours and a fall “non-rush tea. But perhaps its greatest potential is derived from the active cooperation, and planning of the girls who are interested in sorority life. The Panhellenic this year added to (heir activities an open house during Homecoming for the alumna members of the women’s fraternities. And with their traditional Thanksgiving dance a complete success, the Panhellenic Council cooperated with the IF Council to make the Greek Sing and Swing again a great social event on the campus.

Composed of five representatives elected from each major dormitory. Council establishes an integrated social program of parties and dances among the individual dorms, and itself holds at least one major dance each year which is free to all residents. This year's dance was held March 29th in the William Penn Hotel. In addition to its social function. Council, in conjunction with the Dean of Men, establishes regulations for conduct in the residence halls, and holds court for violators of those regulations. An attempt is being made by Council to help return activity and spirit among residents to its prewar level by participation to the fullest extent in school functions, such as King of Hearts and Spring Carnival. In addition, the Dorm Bagpiper, official dormitory newspaper, is being revised after a wartime absence. Previously distributed weekly to residents, it hopes to return soon to its old schedule. By these means and such others as arc at its disposal. Council hopes in some means to aid in the return of resident college life from its present state to that of previous times. len s Dormi The Women’s Dorm Council in cooperation with Dean Yon organizes the regulations of the dormitories for the full year. Their work is to maintain a high standard of conduct, to promote a sense of honor and individual responsibility, and to control matters relating to the students in the dormitories. The president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer are elected by secret ballot bv the entire dorm enrollment. The members of the Council, president and vice-president of their respective dorms, are elected only by the girls living in the same dorm with the approval of the Council. At semesters each freshman dorm elects a non-voting freshman representative. The Freshman House Presidents are selected by Dorm Council from the in-coming juniors that are eligible. Every two months the Council meets with the house chaperons in order to straighten out any infractions of the rules. The main job at their weekly Monday meetings is to formulate the rules for the majority of the students. Besides legal matters the Council has a definite social schedule. It gives a party at the beginning of the year for the freshmen who arc living in the dorms; they in turn present short skits. I atcr in the year they give a luncheon-bridge for the house chaperons. The Council also helps the Men’s Dorm Council in the yearly Dorm Council Dance. Besides this, the Council donates money and has campaigned for workers for the Dorm Bagpiper. 30 First Row: Gannon, M., Moses, E.

It is composed of the president, who is elected through an all-school election, the secretary and treasurer of the junior class, who automatically upon their election hold these offices in the Senate, and freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior representatives elected by their own classes. Senate began its activities with the freshman orientation assembly during freshman week. It then sponsored the election of freshman class oflicers who were introduced to their class at the annual Color Day Assembly at which time there was a speech given by Director Watkins and the colors of the class were presented. For Christmas they had a party for the faculty, and later in the semester another talk was given to the freshmen by the Director of Margaret Morrison on choosing their departments and vocations. Many of the magazine subscriptions for the Margaret Morrison Carnegie College Library are furnished by this organization. One of the Senate’s most traditional activities is the party for Margaret Morrison women only. It is looked forward to by students and faculty alike. Each class and the faculty presents a skit, and the Senate cup is presented to the class which puts on the best entertainment. The junior class won the award this year. They presented a very entertaining skit featuring a barber shop quartet, an excellent tap dancing team, and a group singing old-time songs. Also, the Senate presented a gift to the college ami finally wound up its activities at the end of the year with a dinner for its members and advisors. First Row: Gephardt, )., Knee, 1., DkSantiz, S.

Warner Head oj Department oj Chemistry As in previous years, the Chemistrv Department continues with its many and varied research projects. The principal topics are no longer concerned with separation of Uranium isotopes or with improvement of synthetic rubber processes, but are, we may Ik sure, every bit as complicated and interesting. The physicists’ claim that the recently-completed war was a war of the physicists, as opposed to World War I s being a war of the chemists is in actuality only partly true, for the research and development which made possible the atomic bomb was by no means wholly in the field of pure physics; this fact is attested by the presence among both faculty and student hotly, graduate and undergraduate, of many who worked on the project in one way or another. Foremost among these, of course, is Dr. J. C. Warner, whose outstanding work resulted in a regional award from the Pittsburgh division of the American Chemical Society. Careful planning of the required courses in the chemistry curriculum coupled with a diversified selection of electives insures a well-rounded education when the time for graduation arrives for a typical chemist. He may choose any of several branches of his profession; he may, for instance, be interested in control, operational, research or sales work in chemical and allied industries, or in teaching science in secondary schools, or in furthering his knowledge of his field by graduate study leading to a Master’s or Doctor’s degree. But whatever the choice, he may be sure that he has been fully prepared for his work, no matter in what direction it may lie. On the shoulders of tin-graduating chemists of this class falls the dual responsibility of maintaining Carnegie's reputation for high-quality as well as continuing the United States' outstanding work in the many fields.

Chemical Engineering During the past few years chemical engineering has received increasing recognition as the basic technology underlying the production processes of many industries. These industries have undergone recent rapid expansion resulting in a need for more and better chemical engineers. To provide industry with the highly-trained, technical men it so sorely needs is the aim of the Chemical Engineering Department at Carnegie Tech, and to meet this aim the department has grown • tremendously in scope and enrollment. The course in the Chemical Engineering Department combines a new curriculum with revised methods of teaching, in order to keep pace with the ever-changing techniques of an atomic age. The basic purpose of the course is to outiit the men with the chemistry, physics, mathematics, and other fundamental subjects that they will need to take their places in the advancement of industry, especially in the process industries where they apply chemical treatment to raw materials, manufacturing new products for use in our factories and homes. Dr. W. L. McCabe, the present head of the Department of Chemical Engineering, has announced his resignation, leaving the important position to Dr. C. C. Monrad. Dr. McCabe has done a remarkable job during his ten years at Carnegie Tech, bringing the department up to its present-day high standards. It is unfortunate that Tech must lose Dr. McCain-, but we arc certain (hat under the capable direction of Dr. Monrad the Chemical Engineering Department of Carnegie Tech will remain one of the best in all the world. hint ftotri Beckmann, R.

Mavis Head oj Department oj Civil Engineering While being historically the oldest type of engineering, dating back to the ancient Egyptians, civil engineering, through its long existence, has never lost sight of the important role it plays in the development of civilization. While continuing its age-old function of constructing roadways and bridges, it has, especially in modern times, made technical progress in such things as strength of materials and structures. With an eye to the future, the Civil Engineering Department of Carnegie Tech has, under the direction of I)r. Mavis, added many young and progressive men to the staff in the past few years. Known by their enterprising air while surveying the campus with their familiar trademarks, the transit and rod, the students in training at Carnegie Tech learn the intricacies of surveying, hydraulic engineering, bridge and roadway construction, and structural engineering, along with the basic sciences and social studies to provide for a well-rounded education. Special emphasis is given to conciseness and systematic habits of recording information and analyzing problems. Practical application of theory on organization and leadership is made as often as is possible. Electrical Engineering This department includes three branches of study: under-graduate, graduate, and research. It is constantly alert to the chancing demands of industry, and it is always ready to incorporate any changes which will better prepare the student to meet these needs. In keeping with these ideas, the Electrical Engineering Department, recognizing the increasing importance of electronics as a major branchy of electrical engineering, has expanded its electronic laboratory facilities by adding two radar sets, which arc used for demonstration and experimental purposes.. In the under-graduate field of study, stress is laid on the basic fundamental theories and applications of general electrical engineering. These basic theories are stressed with the assumption that an engineering student with a thorough knowledge of them can lit into any specialized branch with a minimum of wasted time and effort, A student leaving the under-graduate department will line! himself well equipped to enter industry, or. if he so desires, to pursue his studies in a specialized branch through the medium of graduate or research work. Engineers with graduate degrees are constantly becoming of greater importance as the field expands. Tech's Electrical Engineering Department offers a well-balanced and broad choice of study and project work in these fields. The high standard of training offered by the Electrical Engineering Department is pointed to with pride by many graduates who have achieved success in their chosen profession. That this shall continue to be so is the constant aim of this department. of IX WMK F- C’ IWtt0 ' B c- B. R . Sen ax. E. R.. Pobtkp; KzfiTfe. -u Ke”T M w,tUAH -D M- • L. N. K- Wocrr. 1.1... Ca.. Benjamin R. Teare Head oj Department of Electrical Engineering Management Engineering The purpose of the Management Engineering Department is to train men for the operation of technical enterprises. Tne courses fall into three sequences which are carried on simultaneously and are related to each other. One is Eased on the scientific training, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, anti drawing, anti is developed through engineering courses. The second is the Business Sequence which begins with basic principles of economics and their application to business enterprises, followed by technical application of accounting, statistics, governmental relations, financial control and marketing. The third, is the General Education Sequence, including English, Social Relations and some electives. Acting upon suggestions from graduates in industry, the department heads have made several changes in the curriculum in order to meet the demands of modern business. The most significant change is the added importance attached to electrical and mechanical engineering. During the summer of 1946, a student chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management was formed with assistance from the national chapter. S. A. M. has co-operated with the faculty and student chapter to bring a great many top management and labor men to seminars and forums. These programs have broadened the scope of our courses considerably. Our graduates will have all the necessary background to develop into just what the name of their course implies: engineers, to manage the country's industries. Within twenty years, we expect to see most of our present graduates right up on the Gold Const of business. Douglas F. Miner Acting Head oj Department oj Management Engineering Bancert, R. L.. Miner, D. F.. Cooley, W. V„ Tennymjn. E. I.. The Department of Mathematics as now formulated is a merger of the former Departments of Mathematics and Mechanics with Professor J. L. Synge, formerly Chairman of the Department of Mathematics at Ohio State University, as Head; and Professor J. B. Rosen bach as Assistant Head. The combined stall's have not only keen enlarged but the Department was particularly fortunate in Ixring able to attract several men of established reputations. The Department is now located in that wing of Industries Hall known as the Tower Building in newly decorated offices and classrooms. A Mathematics Seminar Library and a Mathematics Laboratory will be established shortly. The Department, in addition to offering many service courses, offers programs at the undergraduate level in pure and applied mathematics leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Mathematics anti programs of advanced study and research leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Science. The primary purpose of graduate work in the Department is the study and advancement of mathematics in relation to problems of physical and engineering interests, including the mathematical sitle of engineering mechanics. Pure mathematics is studied chiefly with a view to its application at short or long range. Inaugurated for the first time this year were the Mathematical Colloquium anti the Mathematics Seminar. The Colloquium met on alternate Thursdays and the list of speakers not only included members of the Carnegie staff but also many prominent mathematicians from other institutions. The Seminar met every Friday with members of the staff, graduate students, and seniors as speakers. The Mathematics Club under the sponsorship of Professor Rosenbach and open to all students interested in mathematics had a successful season. It is hoped that a Carnegie Chapter of the national honorary mathematical fraternity Pi Mu Epsilon will l c established on the campus before the close of the present academic year. A signal honor was awarded the Department by its team placing fourth in the William Lowell Putman Mathematical Competition last year. Bint Bow: Starr, E. M., Moskovitz, D.. Whitman. R. A.. Rosknuach.

Synge Head oj Department oj Mathematicf Mechanical Engineering Mechanical engineering, the largest department in the College of Engineering, started training its first students when the doors of Tech opened in October 1905. From a modest beginning the department has grown into one of the world’s best schools of mechanical engineering. Two options. General Mechanical and Aeronautical engineering, are offered for the neophyte who adopts this department. Both options feature the fundamental sciences of chemistry, mathematics, physics, anti mechanics during the first two years. Specialization starts in the third year when the general mechanical student takes courses such as machine design and thermodynamics. The power anti heating plants in Machinery 1 fall are used as mechanic’s laboratories. At the same time, the aeronautical engineers are studying: stress analysis, theory of (light, and internal combustion engines. For laboratory work, they use the $15,000 wind tunnel. Three national professional and honorary societies maintain chapters in the Mechanical Engineering Department. There is a student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers anti a strong chapter of Pi Tau Sigma, national honorary society for Mechanical Engineers. Those taking the aero option are eligible for membership in the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences. Throughout the department, emphasis is placed on a broad theoretical knowledge of the field, rather than on a narrow practical application. Theodore G.

Metallurgical Engineering The Department of Metallurgical Engineering is turning its attention rapidly from the problems of war to the host of postwar difficulties. The return of many veteran students to continue, refreshen, and study the many older established principles and a host of new metallurgical developments has posed many anti varied problems. Many special curriculum arrangements have been solved and new courses are in the process of introduction. Several faculty members continue the important roles of science initiated in the war. Dr. Meld, head of the Department of Metallurgical Engineering, is engaged in extra consultant capacity with Army, Navv, anti Atomic Energy Research work. Dr. Derge and Professor Philbrook continue with special work on relations with atomic energy investigations. Rear Admiral J. W. Lutlewig, U.S.N., ret.. Dr. R. Swalockowski from General Electric Company and Mr. J. Stukel from the University of Minnesota have joined the staff as new members during 1946-1947. It is interesting to note the continued increased enrollment of foreign students in the department. China, India, France, Siam, Mexico, Brazil, and Canada are all represented in the classes of Metallurgy. Often students in the other departments of Tech ask, “Well, what is metallurgy? What does a metallurgist do?” Originally, the term “metallurgy” was defined as the “art of extracting metals from their ores. But now, the word has a wider meaning. Modern metallurgists apply it to the structure of metals and their alloys, to their constitution and its relation to their physical properties and to the use of the metals. To the metallurgists of the future belongs the immense problem of finding new sources of certain metals, for a shortage of some nigh-grade ores looms on the horizon. A bright future tilled with discoveries and improvements is predicted for Carnegie Tech’s graduating metallurgists. The Department of Metallurgical Engineering is now looking forward in 1948-1949 to a line new building with increased space and laboratories. Robert F. Mkiii. I eadoJ Department oj Metallurgical Engineering Phvsics It has been said that the first World War was a chemists’ war; certainly in it chemistry assumed an entirely new importance that had not previously been even dreamed of. Even more appropriate to the recently concluded conflict would be the name—the- war of the physicists. For never before, and, we hope, never again, has the laboratory played so large a part in the constitution of our war-waging potential. The most truly world shaking development, the adaptation of nuclear forces to work for us as explosives, is almost entirely in the realm of the physicist, and countless less prominent, but nevertheless ingenious developments, some of them still secret, have had as their guiding mentors or principal contributors the country’s leading physicists. Thus, the new publicity for this branch of pure science, combined with the nation-wide upsurge of collegiate enrollment, has increased the number of physicists far beyond a figure that would be normal, calculated on the basis of previous total registrations. Each individual seems to have a unique program problem, contributing added difli-culties to the scheduling committee. It is hoped that this difficulty will be overcome this summer by particular care in planning, and that by the fall of 1947 the curriculum will again be regular. This large enrollment combined with the announcement of the Buhl Foundation's grant for the building of a synchro-cyclotron here has increased l oth the activity and prominence of this mushrooming department. As well as being one of the most difficult in the College of Engineering, the physics curriculum leaves the largest amount up to the student as to choice of elective. This facilitates greater freedom in specialization, maintaining still a uniformity of graduates that lends meaning to the descriptive phrase a Carnegie Tech physicist.” Frederick Seitz Head oj Department oj Physics First Few: KtTXBMANM, I., WlLLIAX OS, C., I.r.lVO, V.

Printing To prepare men for professional service in the field of graphic arts is the main purpose of Tech's Department of Printing. So that these men will be qualified to enter any of the graphic arts industries and Ik better able to cope with the problems of design, production, management. and marketing, the program of studies includes such courses as: hand and machine-composition, presswork, color, lettering, layout design, management, psychology, as well as the same general courses that are offered to all engineers. The department before the war was set up to handle close to one hundred men, but like all schools its post-war enrollment is greatly increased. To relieve the crowded conditions in the laUtratories, plans to change the location of the department have been formulated. It may take some time to get the necessary materials, but at some date in the not-too-distant future the various laboratories will be located in the north wing of Industries Hall, laid out like a well-planned print shop. The floor space has been arranged so that the jobs may move from one step of production to the next with the highest possible efficiency, and so that more students mav be accommodated. Dr. Douglas F. Miner is acting-head of the department, temporarily tilling the position left vacant by Professor Dauranee B. Siegfried. Much to the regret of the students and fellow faculty members. Professor Siegfried left Tech at the end of the summer term to return to the post he had formerly held at Syracuse University. Dr. Miner is assisted bv I lomer K. Sterling, Assistant Professor of Graphic Arts Design, and Stanley Illasta, Assistant Professor of Printing, who is in charge of the laboratory courses. h'tr t Rew: MILLS, C. I-.

Kenneth Johnstone It etui of Department oj Architecture Under the able leadership of Mr. Johnstone, director of the College of Fine Arts, and Mr. Hitchens, head of the Department of Architecture. the students of this department exhibited remarkable progress during the year 1946-1947. Despite the crowded conditions of the drafting rooms, the efficient faculty handled the enlarged classes very well. Stressed this year was practical application of design, along with the aesthetic principles naturally associated with architecture. A hunting lodge supplied the freshman class with its first problem, and the sophomores worked on a restaurant and bank. The juniors worked out a scheme for a typical apartment group for the city of Pittsburgh, while the seniors occupied themselves with the design of a modern industrial city. The courses of instruction offered in the department are: Architectural Design. Architectural Construction, and Interior Design. Among the subjects included in the curriculum are: graphics, theory of construction, architectural design, freehand drawing, building details, mathematics, modeling, history of architecture, ami social relations. This is a large schedule, indeed, but it is a perfect preparation for such a profession. This year, as in others, finds many a weary architect spending his evenings until eleven o'clock in the drafting room. The reason is. of course, charette. Up to his ears in watercolor and pastels, the student puts forth his supreme effort in the last few precious moments of time in order to produce an outstanding solution to his problem, whatever it mav l e. Proof that the Tech designs are superior is found in the fact that many of. the country’s outstanding men of the profession are Tech graduates. With such excellent preparation it is easy to imagine that in a few years the present Tech graduates will also become well known in their chosen field. FiJMr.ii, fliTciirst, Sciimi-.utz. Drama This year the Drama Department was able to plan an ambitious program for the first time since before the war. Two very important commodities in the successful operation of the department were now available—materials and men. By registration time in October, all of the old guard “dr a mats,'' now ex-servicemen, had returned to the fold and the “dramat family” was complete again. In addition to the old guard, there were many new and transfer students who joined the family and immediately liccame an integral part of the department. There were additions to the teaching personnel in the speech and technical sections, and a new director Air. Dnvrence Carra, joined the start’. Everything pointed toward a big year, anil a big year it was. The first production, “The Time of Your Life,” was a tremendous success. Each successive play, in turn, took its place among the list of memorable productions. Next came “Saint Joan,” then a revival of a comedy by George Ade, called. The College Widow.” The first semester came to a brilliant finish with the presentation of “The Three Sisters.” The second semester presentations included the hilarious comedy, “You Can’t Take It With You,” King Lear,” and an original play, Coronado's Children,” written by a drama student. The revival of old friendships and the making of new ones, along with the thrill of working an outstanding croup of productions made 1947 a remarkable year for members of the Department of Drama.

Boettcher Head oj Department oj Drama Painting, Design Sculpture Undoubtedly everyone at Carnegie Tech Has caught a glimpse of certain students heavily loaded down with drawing boards, crazily twisted wire spots ' and color-splashed paint boxes. These people are members of the school of Painting, Design, and Sculpture, Letter known as P and D's. They spend most of their time in the art studios of the Fine Arts Building—the P and D’s on the top lloor and the Sculpture students on the bottom floor. The time which the P and D spends in sketching and painting includes hours of composition drawing, figure drawing, and oil painting. Various supplies and techniques are used. The P and D learns to work with charcoal, pen and ink, pencil, water colors, oils, litho-cravon, and even wire and screw drivers. Mis work includes outdoor problems which involve making sketches of various points of interest about the city. Me is not confined strictly to the Fine Arts Building, but rather is given a chance to visit the world about him. At the end of his sophomore year, the P and D is required to choose the subject in which he wishes to specialize. Those fields from which he may choose are: Industrial Design, Pictorial Design, and Education. During his junior and senior years, he specializes in the work which is included in his chosen option. Although the life of a P and D involves many hours of hard work, he still has time for fun. Anyone going through the halls on top or bottom floors might hear happy voices raised in song. A cheerful attitude prevails. A friendlier group of people can't be found. WlLFORD Cl. RkADIO Head oj Department oj Painting and Design First Row: Fetvtt, R. I.. Hilton, R., Edmond . Mm. M. G..

Music This past vcar, the Music Department really came into its own. Under the able guidance of its department head. Professor C. A. Pearson, it has greatly expanded adding many new members to an already outstanding faculty. These excellent teachers are also First Chair people from the Pittsburgh Symphony. As proof of the improvement which took place in the entire department arc the numerous invitations and demands made upon every organization, as was also the great increase in the number of people who went to their concerts. The Music Department is located on the second floor of the Fine Arts Building. It promotes school spirit through organizations such as the Kiltie Band, the Symphony Orchestra, ami the Record Recitals, (which it gives for the benefit of all interested in music who may not be connected with the department.) It provides music needed for any occasion. Socially the Music Department contributes to the school by its dance bands which have played at many of the dances attended by Tech-ites. Kducations received in this department include: Public School Music, Private Teaching, and Concert Work. The training received in each field is complete. Concert artists are given the opportunity of f(laying with both the String Ensemble and the Symphony Orchestra efore large audiences. These concerts are held in cither the Little Theater or the Carnegie Music Hall. Various parties and events given by ami for the department have tended to draw these individualistic students together. Thus, School Spirit and Cooperation run high, and ambitions soar among these talented young people. Firti Ra r: Anorf «ns, G., Canfield, S . Maiion, I .. Roaenstravch, II.. Ganaon, S..

Gregg The Department of General Studies offers a new series of options. Head oj Department oj General Studies leading to the Bachelor of Science degree, which arc similar to majors presented in liberal arts colleges. These options are: English and Modern languages. History and Economics, Homemaking, Mathematics. Psychology, and Sociology. With the exception of a few courses in certain options, the freshmen year for General Studies students is the same as that of the other Margaret Morrison freshmen. In the sophomore, junior, anil senior year the students may choose subjects pertaining to their particular major. The successful completion of any of these options presents several possibilities for use: the work may be taken for general educational and intellectual interest, for teacher training, and for a professional field. One other possibility is a fifth year in the Carnegie Library School. The Department of General Studies is pleased to have as its head. Dr. Robert G. Gregg, who, through his understanding and able leadership, has built up and broadened the department into what it is today. Social Work The Department of Social Work offers to all students a four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science, and a special fraduatc course which leads to the degree of Master of Social Work, n the four-vear course the student may take a General Social Science Sequence, and Education Sequence, or a Social Welfare Sequence. Various subjects will Ik- studied that will qualify her for work in her particular field. The program is designed, by a combination of class work and field instruction, to teach the student the basic principles of stK'ial work, theory and practice. And also to develop in her the skills required in preforming the variety of services afforded by social agencies under both public anil private auspices. Social work is a young and expanding profession so that opportunities for employment open to graduates of the department are many anil varied, l'he demand for qualified workers in this field of service is consistently in excess of the number available. 7( Mrs. Mary Clarke Burnett Head oj Department oj Social Work and Nursing 'I'llis vc«ir, under the capable direction of I)r. Harold L. Lang, the Department of General Science has again offered training in two options, biology and chemistry. Previous to the year 1945, no distinction was made in the course, the major part of the work including Ijoth subjects. Although both options lead to the Bachelor of Science degree, the biology course prepares the student for positions in hospital laltoratories (both biological and Iwcteriological), for graduate work, and also is accepted as a pre-medical course. Graduates in chemistry arc prepared for work in large industrial or research laboratories, or for graduate work. During the war, many of the graduates found work in chemical or explosive manufacturing plants. Students who wish to prepare for the teaching of science in secondary schools are obliged to substitute certain required courses in psychology and education for a part of the work in chemistry or biology. In former years, the department also offered, in co-operation with the School of Nursing of the Western Pennsylvania Hospital, a live-year course leading to both the Nursing Diploma from the hospital and the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The regular freshman and sophomore years were spent in Margaret Morrison with summer sessions at West Penn Hospital. Then the equivalent of the junior and senior years was spent in the school of Nursing, with the fifth year being taken again in Margaret Morrison where the student majored in Nursing Education. Because of the unusually small number of students who have enrolled in this course in the past couple of years, this course has now been discontinued. However, the young women who enrolled last fall, 1945, will be permitted to complete their training as in previous years. Graduates of this program either become supervisors or assistant superintendents of hospitals or teachers in schools of nursing. Dr. Lang is assisted by Dr. L. H. Schultz, Mr. W. J. Staley, Miss R. F. Tuttle, Mrs. K. Hood, Miss C. J. Douglas, Miss M. Munyer, Miss M. P. Kggers, and Miss C. E. Miller. Harold L. Lang Head oj Department oj General Sc tenet and A ur.ttntj Home Economics C. Van Sycklk Head oj Department oj Home Economic The Home Economics Department of the Margaret Morrison Carnegie College under the direction of Dr. Calla Van Syckle is divided into three major sections: Foods and nutrition. Clothing and Textiles, and Teacher Training. Foods and nutrition is divided into three sequences: Dietetics, a course in preparation for hospital dietetics; Institutional Management, giving the background for any type of quantity food service; and Pre-Research. The Clothing and Textiles course offers a Retailing of Clothing and Textiles which prepares a student for business work in the fashion world, such as buyer, stylist, and other branches of retailing; a Clothing and Design sequence, which gives a background for designing and clothing construction: and Pre-Research in Textiles. This Home Economics training is specialized only to a limited extent, allowing opportunities for relcvcnt Liberal Arts courses. In addition to the training acquired in these courses, arrangements are made for summer work between the junior and senior years in order that the student mav have experience in her field of study. The Home Economics Club, which is affiliated with the American Home Economics Association offers opportunity for social and professional experience and development. The objectives for the Home Economics Department are to make students develop their abilities by being effective members of society and by living richly. Worthington. I. (Mg), Ba� tcit. B. rM«s.).

Secretarial Studies Her shorthand pad is her badge of service—yes, she's a secretarial Maggie Murph.” She may be enrolled in any one of the three divisions: the regular business course, the teacher training course, or the one-year 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. Finally, the one-vear college graduate course offers a course in secretarial work to college graduates. The courses combine a liberal 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. Under the expert guidance of Miss Edith M. Winchester and her staff, the secretarial student is given the opportunity to become acquainted with various aspects of business and to apply the classroom knowledge to actual business situations before graduation. The aim of the Department is to develop a girl with the idea of promotion in her job. The academic background gives her the ability to adapt herself to important positions. The reputation which the successful graduates have established is the reason for the constant demand for each year's graduates. Flr l.Kcu-.- Kibble . A. B. (Mbs.), Hays. L. A., Blackburn, II. L.

Division of Humanistic and Social Studies Carnegie Institute of Technology is more than a leading educational institution in the fields of engineering and science; it is a pioneer in the field of liberal education for technical students. In 1958. under the leadership of President Robert E. Dohertv, a program of humanistic and social studies for students in the College of Engineering and Science, known as the Social Relations Program, was inaugurated. In 1941. a Division of Humanistic and Social Studies, succeeding the Division of General Studies was formed. The success of the Division in organizing and presenting the Social Relations Program to engineering and science students has led to a series of recommendations by the American Society for Engineering Education which have been adopted by many of the leading engineering colleges in the United States. The departments included in the Division are Economics, English, History, Modern Languages, and Psychology and Education. Courses offered by the Division comprise approximately twenty-five per-cent of the courses taken by all students. In the College of Engineering and Science, the humanistic and social stem of the various curricula is known as the Social Relations Program. In the College of Fine Arts, these courses comprise the Fine Arts Non-Tcchnical Program. In the Department of General Studies in Margaret Morrison, approximately half of each student's courses are taught by the stall' of the Division. With Director Glen U. Clccton as its forward-looking and broad-visioned leader, the staff members of the Division strive to develop interest in human problems—problems that will face every college graduate, but which have particular significance for engineers and persons in other occupations which Tech graduates pursue. Courses are planned in full co-operation with the technical departments in order that students may be taupht to make a clear-cut analysis of any problem, whether it be scientific or human. It is noteworthy that the Division has on its staff college teachers of outstanding reputation, many of whom are widely known, nationally and internationally. Among those who have gained distinction through published works in their respective fields arc Professor Max Schocn, Department of Psychology and Education; Professor Gladys Schmitt, Department of English; and Professor G. L. Bach, Department of Economics. Fir-t Row: E. D. Doha . W. W. Lanoekartel. J. B. Aliaant, Miss E. Spencer. Mr . A. S. CvMMiNC . Mrs. M. P. LeClair, Miss C. Schmitt, M. Scmoem, G. U. Cleeton, D. M.

C. program consists of two main courses, the Elementary Course and the Advanced Course. The Elementary Course consists of two academic years in basic training. I he course’s taught in basic training include: First Aid, Sanitation, Marksmanship, Map Reading, Close Order Drill. Aerial Photograph Reading, Ex-tended Order Drill, and Nomenclature and functioning ot the M-l Rifle. The Advanced Course includes, at the present time, two academic vears and a summer camp of six weeks between the third and fourth years. Training in the Advanced Course can lead to service in either the Corps of Engineers or the Signal Corps, at the option of the student. At the completion of the program the student is tendered a reserve commission in the corps of his choice. Many beribboned cx-GI’s are taking advantage of the rare opportunities offered by the R. O. T. C. The practicability of R. (). T. C. training was fully demonstrated during the recent war when scores of Tech R. O. T. C. graduates served in key positions on commissions earned in college. Col.

Schwartz ice President Vance E. Senegal Interhonorary Council Interhonorary Council, a group of representatives from each of the scholastic and professional honorarivs at Tech, was organized in 1940 to centralize in one unit the various honorary fraternities on the campus. The purpose of this organization is to develop scholarship, culture, and character, create initiative ami continuing interest in education among its member societies. The Council, which meets every other week under the leadership of Benjamin Schwartz, is di%ided into four standing committees: Scholarship, Culture, Educa-tional Methods, and Character and Personality Development. Silver keys are awanled to the memln-rs of Interhonorary Council and a banquet is held every year for the new council. Representatives are chosen from Beaux Arts Society, Cwens, Eta Kappa Nu, Mortar Board, Omicron Delta Kappa. Pi Delta Epsilon. Phi Kappa Phi, Pi Tau Sigma, Scarab, Sigma Alpha Iota, Tau Beta Pi. Theta Tau, and Alpha Phi Omega. Tau Beta Pi Probably the most conspicuous manifestation of Tau Beta Pi, at least as far as the non-engineering student body is concerned, is the large scale replica of its insignia, the Bent, in the entrance way of Administration Hall. To many engineers, however, this honorary fraternity stands as a goal, to in achieved by a chosen few during their junior or senior years. Founded in 1885 as a national honorary group for students in colleges of engineering, Tau Beta Pi has, through careful choice and selection, maintained a high position in scholastic life, both locally anil nationally. The often quoted phrase, “The Phi Beta Kappa of Engineering ', comes close to making an accurate parallel, but actually memlicrship requirements in TBfl arc more stringent in some respects than those of I BK, the earliest of all fraternities. In each group of pledges there are not more than three first-semester juniors, known as honor juniors, chosen. The first semester of this year, at the call ceremony on Carnegie Day, Richard Hschenbach and George Matthews were so honored, and simultaneously they were presented with the task of compiling the history of Carnegie Tech’s Pennsylvania Gamma chapter of Tau Beta Pi from its installation in 1916 to the present day. This they completed in time for presentation at the initiation banquet Decemlier 16th, an event attended by the national officers and many members from the Pittsburgh area. Ably led by its president, Albert Schindler, fau Beta Pi pursues as usual its traditional functions, including the tutoring of freshman, and the Tau Beta Pi issue of the Carnegie Technical, and other activities too varied to mention. Thus it remains in its established position as one of the most prominent and active of our honorary fraternities. Secretary King, Edgar P„ Jr. Treasurer Parker, Norman F. Firrt Siciliano, L..

Its purpose is to stimulate and reward high scholarship and to improve the standards of the profession. As stated in the preamble to the constitution: “That those men in the profession of Electrical Engineering, who, by their attainments in college or in practice, have manifested a deep interest ami marked ability in their chosen life work, may l� e brought into closer union whereby mutual benefit may Ik-derived.” Membership in Eta Kappa Nu is one of the highest honors that can be conferred on an Electrical Engineer. Members are chosen from the junior and senior classes on the basis of their scholarship, character, leadership, and personality, the number selected never exceeding one third of any one class. During the past year. Sigma Chapter awarded an Eshbach Manual to the sophomore with the highest cumulative factor as of the semester ending in May and September, 194b, February and May, 1947. A certificate of merit was presented to the Electrical Engineer presenting the most outstanding paper before seminar during the semesters ending in September, 1946. and February ami May, 1947. Eta Kappa Nu made many interesting field trips to industrial plants in the community during the year. Another project consisted of contacting the Alumni around Pittsburgh for the purpose of making employment contacts and reviving the alumni chapter. A banquet was sponsored in honor of the newly initiated members in January, and another in conjunction with the A. I. E. E. in the spring. MrttOTT, C.. Renbkkc, C.. Pa«ke . X.. Pocve. R-. Levy. I.. Pi Tau Sigma Pi Tau Sigma serves to establish a close bond of friendship which will result in mutual benefit to the men in the study and profession of Mechanical Engineering. Its members are selected from the junior and senior students in the department on the l asis of engineering ability, scholarship, personality, ami probable success. The purpose of this Engineering honorary is threefold: namely, to foster the high ideals and aims of the engineering profession; to stimulate a productive interest in coordinating departmental activities; and to promote the mutual professional welfare of its members. Iota Chapter saw a real upsurge of its strength when ten men were initiated during the past summer. A banquet was held for the new initiates with Professor Trinks. former head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, as guest speaker. Early in the fall a rushing smoker was held, and a variety of entertainment offered. At that time the annual award of Marks Mechanical Engineering llandlKtok was made to the sophomore with the highest scholastic average. 'Phis year’s winner was George Matthews. Pi fan Sigma is looking forward to the future with an eye toward extending its activities socially and professionally to include those activities that will lie of the greatest benefit to its department and the school.

Peter Secretary Koenig, Donald Treasurer Wallace, David Alpha Phi Omega Alpha Phi Omega is defined as a Service Fraternity whose purpose is “to assemble college men in the fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law, to develop friendship, anti to promote service to humanity. The program is divided into four parts: “service to the student ImxIv and faculty, service to youth and community, service to members o! the fraternity, and service to the nation as participating citizens.” This year A. P. 0. lived up to its purpose by carrying on many traditional ami new activities for the benefit of the students and the school. As in past years, members of the organization acted as guides for visitors to the campus and served refreshments at student dances as part of their service activities. In keeping with its policy of promoting the interests of the student body, A. P. O. undertook a project in cooperation with the administration to revive campus spirit and unity. The year opened with a rushing smoker at the union for the purpose of interesting freshmen men in the group. The chapter was assigned a quota of 15 men as part of the nation-wide drive for 1000 new members this year. The, ehgibility requirements are a desire to benefit the campus, and previous membership in the Boy Scouts of America. Other social events were planned, including weiner roasts and week-end camping trips to nearby Scout Camps. Alpha Phi Omega is a national organization of more than one hundred chapters which was founded in 1925 at Lafayette College. Kappa Chapter at Tech dates from 1929 and is one of the most active in the fraternity. The faculty advisers for the group are Mr. Daniels, Mr. Davis, Mr. Dennison, Mr. Gregg. Mr. Reisdorph, Mr. Shaffer, and Mr. Warden. Fir t R� a: Weinberger. H. Ste«nd R w: Wachtman, J„ McMahon, D. Fv, C. Third Ra : Wallace. D„ Dismukm, A.. Koenig. D., Sloan. C. F+urOl Ro : SOKEKSKN. F .

Its purpose is to develop and maintain a high standard of professional interest among its members and to unite them in a strong bond of fraternal fellowship. Because of its high standards the fraternity received the honor of an invitation to make its call on Carnegie Day. Nu Chapter selects men from the Sophomores and Juniors who have achieved its high standards of scholarship; have exhibited outstanding professional qualities in rugged honesty, cooperativeness, depend ability, enthusiasm, and social responsibility; and have shown their interest in professional development by activities on and off campus. Pledges wear a gold gear and perform other duties that make our pledge training one of the most colorful on campus. At present Nu Chapter offers its members seven phases of an overall Program jor Professional Development. The most promising Senior Engineering Award and the Competitive-Coordinated Seminar Program offer inspiration to the entire engineering school. Professional development is promoted among the Nu Chapter members by monthly dinner-discussion meetings. Important topics such as Selection of Professional Engineers by Dr. R. C. Watson are developed into technical bulletins for the information of other chapters and interested persons. The biggest social event of this year is the dinner-dance banquet celebrating Nu Chapter’s twenty-fifth anniversary. Other social events include banquets and pledge parties. Committees arc working on additions to the Program for Professional Development which will increase the value of Theta Tau to its members and of Nu Chapter to the entire student body.

Along with its 76 sister chapters, the Alpha Mu Chapter, here at Tech, aims toward a constant development of American music and musicianship. Alpha Mu was founded by seven students and now alumni members number well over one hundred. There are active members all of whom were chosen for musical talent, scholarship, and character. Our local chapter sponsors the annual Sophomore Recital, and presents monthly concerts. An outstanding event is the formal concert given annually in conjunction with the Alumni. At this year's formal concert, the actives provided novel entertainment by singing madrigals from the Elizabethan period in the traditional manner of sitting leisurely around a large table. Alpha Mu also gives fundraising events, the proceeds of which go to Sigma Alpha lota’s International Music Fund. The fraternity is known for its efforts to aid veterans through the medium of especially designed key board instruments which have given invaluable aid in occupational therapy and orthopedic use. Listing hundreds of famous professional musicians as honorary members and alumni, the fraternity represents the ideals and efforts of American music at its best.

A chapter charter was granted on March 25, 1928, and since then the chapter has been active in sponsoring musical entertainment on the campus. The national organization was founded December 6, 1898, at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. At present there are 78 chapters on the active roll. This organization chooses its members from students of the music department as well as from those who have distinguished themselves in musical activities on campus. It has as honorary members prominent professional musicians, as well as such outstanding faculty members as Dr. Schocn and Mr. Pearson, head of the Music Department and sponsor of l ech’s chapter. After having l ccn inactive since 1945 when its members were in the service, the chapter was reorganized last spring by two former members who returned to Tech. From this small beginning it has already grown to its pre-war size with nine active members and eight pledges. It is the aim of the honorary to further the cause of music, particularly the music on campus, both by sponsoring musical events and by giving recitals with its own members.

Originated the first semester of last year by the four Student Council members from the Fine Arts, the Beaux Arts Society is comprised of the most outstanding students from the College of Fine Arts. The members are chosen on the basis of scholarship standards and participation in school activities. The Society now lias a complement of twenty students, all of whom have proven their worth by tievoting their talents to the ideals for which the Society stands. For new members for this year's Society, it was necessary that each applicant have a recommendation. In this way, the group was better able to decide who its members should Ik. . This past year, the Society sponsored a costume dance which was very successful and has great promise of becoming like the other Beaux Arts Balls that were sponsored by this same Society in the years before the war. The Society was unanimously accepted into Intcrhonorarv Council two months after its organization. Fir I Ka.-: Quill. F., Watxiki. L.. IIal'siialtem, E. SeeonS Williams, N.. Yurchisov. S. Scarab Scarab, National professional fraternity for male students of architecture, rejoined the group of reactivated honoraries on lech campus at the beginning of the fall term, when enough members returned to the architecture department to permit normal operation of the fraternity. By midyear Philae Temple, as the Tech chapter is called, consisted of seventeen outstanding members of the department and more men were pledged during the spring term. The national organization was founded at the University of Illinois in 1909. Scarab came to Carnegie Tech in 1920 anti now has eleven temples in various schools of architecture. The name and symbol. Scarab, is taken from a sacred sign of the ancient Egyptians. The local chapters have adopted names of Egyptian temples for identification, the Tech organization being known as Philae Temple. Philae has undertaken traditional and new activities in its field during the year. During the winter, a Imnquet for the architecture department is traditionally held, and a picnic follows at one of the local parks in the spring. Scarab awards a prize to the architecture freshman with the best presentation of his work in some regular problem, and promotes a sketch competition for all the temples of Scarab to serve as examples of the trends in architectural designs. The exhibit travels among the schools having chapters of the organization. h'irt! Row; Bailkt. K.. Wcstlakk. M„ Grant, II.. IIinklk. R. SfcanS How: l.uuwin, II.. MacLaCMLAn, I).. Iaiitui, Schaffer.

With the motto, “The Love of Learning Rules the World,” the chapter has continued to maintain its reputation by selecting from the senior classes of the College of Engineering, the College of Fine Arts, and the Margaret Morrison Carnegie College those in the upper eighth of the class who have distinguished themselves in academic pursuits. Outstanding Juniors are also sometimes admitted to membership. This year the honorary solicited money for the newly-created Ihrig-Lawler Memorial Scholarship Fund, and was instrumental in raising $6000 for this purpose. The fund provides for the awarding of three scholarships each year to seniors of all colleges who have made outstanding academic records. Fin! Ra -: Grkgg, R. I).. Mill KB. C. E., Hartman, J.

Pi Delta Epsilion Pi Delta Epsilon is a National Journalistic Fraternity which was founded in 1909 at Syracuse University to honor the outstanding journalism students. It is to journalism what Phi Beta Kappa is to scholarship. At Tech its members, after two years of service, are chosen for the unusual journalistic ability which they have shown on campus publications. It does not merely honor its members, but it especially emphasizes their service in the future. The policies followed by all publications on campus are determined by the standards set by Pi Delta Epsilon. This year the fraternity hopes to renew the tradition of awarding a cup to the most promising freshman journalist. The winner will be awarded the cup on Call Day at Spring Carnival. Another project for which it is discussing plans is that of purchasing current books on journalism, lay-out and design, and topography which would lx- of use to all publications. The books would probably be kept in a book-case in the third floor hall of the Union. As a member of Interhonorarv Council, Pi Delta Epsilon will help sponsor the Interhonorarv booth at Spring Carnival. For further cooperation between the starts of the various publications. Pi Delta Epsilon holds its annual All-Publications Banquet. This year it was held at Webster Hall and was open to all members of the various publications. Firrt R«w: Prick. Hokiudgk, M. J- Lisle. B.

Omicron I Jelta Kappa One score and thirteen years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new fraternity, Omicron Delta Kappa. It was more than a new fraternity, it was a new kind of fraternity. The founders of the group had recognized the need for an organization which would bring together the outstanding leaders of the various campus activities. They had the conviction that an honor society so conceived and organized, and properly administered would afford student and faculty leaders the maximum of opportunities and experiences in cooperative effort for leadership and services to their institution. This conviction led to the founding of Omicron Delta Kappa. Membership in 0. 1). K. is granted on the basis of character, scholarship anti intelligence, leadership, fellowship, and consecration to democratic ideals. In this connection, a prospective member must meet certain standards in each of these categories so that when the final tabulation is made and approved a group is had, which, in addition to being well-rounded is composed of men who are outstanding in campus activities. In this way (). I). K. fulfills its purpose, first, by conferring honor on outstanding leaders and second, by bringing the leaders together under one roof” to serve the institution. The Carnegie Tech chapter of O. D. K. first made its appearance on September 19, 1942 when the well-known Dragons Society was installed as the Beta-Delta Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa. After taking an intermission because of a turmoil arising in several parts of the world, the chapter was opened again on December 10, 1945. After a year of organizing and building, the chapter is again back to prewar strength and at this writing is busily combining the talents of its members to give Carnegie Tech its much-needed shot in the arm. A big step in this direction is the Spring Carnival which was sponsored and directed by O. I). K. First Koir: Warden. B., Syeaka. R., Davis, R. Strand It a--: Maley. G„ Melloty, C.. Kerb. R., Boyce.

It is composed of those men in the sophomore class whom the society believes are most outstanding in campus activities, in scholarship, and in character. The corresponding women's society is the Cwcns. The two organizations cooperate in sponsoring the Sophomore I lop, which has been one of the most successful of the yearly social activities. During the summer the society was active in drawing up a set of freshman regulations for the incoming freshman in the fall. The suggested regulations were approved l� v Student Council ami were enforced with the aid of the society. Tne return of freshman regulations has been one of the outstanding steps in bringing campus activities back to their prewar status. There are now many active Scimitars on campus. Their main object at the present is to arouse the interest of their fellow students in campus activities, and to promote fellowship among the men who are their classmates and leaders in those activities. I'KANK. F., UkSYA. V. NkUIIKHT, V. Delta Skull Delta Skull, the junior men’s activities honorary, was among those organizations reactivated a year ago, after a war-time lapse. Members are chosen from those whose activities, evaluated on a points basis, show them to be outstanding in campus extra-curricular life. These points are allotcd for leadership, scholarship, and participation in activities. New members are chosen by the departing ones in the second half of the sophomore year, and they are notified on call day. Duties of the honorary are to hold the Junior From and to assist the Men’s Points Committee in the evaluation of activities points. The Junior Prom last fall was a very successful affair, with more than 700 couples attending to hear the music of Buddy Rich and his orchestra. With the exception of the 1946 Spring Carnival, this was the first dance since the war to feature a name band. OFFICERS President Farrahy, T. ice President SlIARBAUGlI, B. Secretary lvSCHENBACH, R.

OFFICERS President Harris, Margaret Pice President Lisle, Jean Secretary Hartman, Janet Treasurer Keefer, Mary Mortar Board Mortar Board is the national senior honorary for women. It is the highest achievement for a woman to attain at Carnegie Tech. The purpose of Mortar Board is to provide for the cooperation between societies, to promote college loyalty, to advance the spirit of service and fellowship among university women, to maintain a high standard of scholarship, to recognize and encourage leadership, and to stimulate and develop a finer type of college woman.” New members are elected to Mortar Board in the spring from women who will have completed their junior year by the opening of the fall term. Elections arc by unanimous vote of active members. These new members are chosen on the basis of service, leadership, and scholarship; and during membership they trv to increase Mortar Board’s merit, reputation, and prestige. The members are distinguished bv their black and gold pins in the shape of a Mortar Board. Each of the 78 chapters of Mortar Board contributes some service of value to its campus. National Mortar Board lists no definite activities in which the chapters must participate since campuses differ and have their own particular needs. Here at Tech, Eta Chapter sponsors The King of Hearts Dance during the Valentine season, holds numerous coffees for the members of the faculty, sponsors Smarty Teas” for those women who are on the honor roll, and assists with the registration of new students. Mortar Board now claims about 1: ,0()0 members throughout the nation. Each year the 78 chapters select about 900 junior women for membership. Cwens One of the most active organizations on campus is a group of eighteen girls who comprise this year's membership of the Cwens. Cwens is the national sophomore honorary for women, and at Tech its members can Ik- recognized bv their distinctive uniforms, consisting of a pearl gray dress and a bright red jacket. The girls are active in the fraternity only during their sophomore year, but the old” mem-bers are identified by the tiny gold crown and scepter pin which they wear. Election to the society is based on outstanding scholarship, leadership, character, ami participation in activities shown during the freshman year. This year's Cwens were called to membership by being tapped” at the annual Call Day ceremonies, which formed a very colorful part of the Spring Carnival in May. Activities of Cwens arc many and varied. Serving as aides at the President's Reception for Graduating Students, and ns hostesses at the Freshman Reception and dinners arc pleasant duties which start off the fall semester. The girls make themselves useful during the hectic days of registration, and provide twin sisters for transfer students. Administration of Traditions Exams to the frosh is also undertaken bv the Cwens. One of the big events on the school social calendar is the annual Soph Hop, which the Cwens sponsor in cooperation with Scimitars, the sophomore honorary for men. In the spring the girls look forward to the election of the new Cwens by sponsoring teas for nil freshman women. Then to crown their busy year, the present members held the traditional initiation banquet for the new members. At this unique ceremony, the new Cwens are pinned and officially welcomed into sacred and coveted sisterhood in the Cwens.

Louie Deane Miller Betty Jane Baur Editor Business Manager Things have been comparatively quiet in the Thistle's closet-office tin’s year; no radio, no pencil sharpener, no trimming board, almost not any staff. Of all these features we find the last the most objectionable, because it has resulted in our doing more work ourselves than we had planned on—not that we're lazy, just busy—and worse yet, particularly from the viewpoint of the poor characters who have to carry on next year without having known what went on this year. Perhaps they will be able to get the same wholesale rates for aspirin that we did. Two new typewriters and a shiny tiling cabinet, as well as a fresh coat of paint on the walls now grace our spacious cubby hole, no pictures any more, not even a place to hang your coat, for that matter. Comes June, no people too, provided we get the book out on time, which we hope to do if only to amaze many scoffers. We wish to express our appreciation of the friendly cooperation to Mrs. Ruth Servick and Art Reed of Gimbcls Photo-Reflex Studios, to Don Young, the engraver's representative, and also to Danny Franks and Tony Pcnfield, who supplied us with a large percentage of our campus pictures, we wish to express our thanks and appreciation for their friendly cooperation. Also the Technical has been quite cooperative with their paper cutter; without it's use we would have been forced to mooch some razor blades somewhere, as well as shave the tips of our fingers off. An expanded budget, including a rise in the book’s price allowed us to include many more new pictures than in the last few years; ingenious layout work on the part of Ken Welch and Ann Richards facilitated maximum utilization of our new freedom. Someday we may even be able to include a picture in full color, or at least so we dream. And while we're dreaming, let us add that we hope you enjoy looking at this book half as much as we enjoyed putting it together. 110 1947 Thistle Fir 1 foui.- Johnson. L. V.t Dolan, F. A.

The Tartan, Carnegie Tech’s weekly newspaper, has returned like all other activities to a pre-war basis. With the return of so many veterans, the campus is buzzing with activity, and the Tartan has taken it into its hands to keep in step with college social affairs, doings of organizations, and general news of interest to the students. The same office as last year (third floor of the Union) is occupied by the Tartan staff. Here one can get in on a bridge game, a song-fest, or an ice-box raid almost anytime, but especially about eleven o'clock Friday night or three o’clock Sunday afternoon. It isn't all play and no work however, for the staff has several headaches, some lasting throughout the year. Gathering the latest news, informing students of what is going on around the campus, recording events of interest, voicing student opinions, and crusading for a better school is only a small part of their job. Additional features include personality stories on various students and professors, news about Techites who have succeeded in their chosen professions, and criticisms of Drama Department presentations. Dances and large social events have been presented pictorially by a series of photographs. All in all, the Tartan has tried to satisfy the students’ curiosity about what goes on at C. I. T. The present staff is headed by co-editors Mary Jane Horridge and Boo” Girts. The rest of the editorial board is made up of Ben Schwartz, managing editor; Audrey Wilkens, news editor; Bill Meyers, business manager; Dick Heckman, sports editor; Hub Aaronson, Glen Nielsen, and Dick Eschcnbach, copy editors. 115 Janet IIartman Editor Richard I).

Humorous articles and jokes, both original and exchanged with other college humor magazines serve to give the weary Techitc a moment's respite from the rigors of higher education. The sports section reports accurately and capably the activities of all the school athletic teams. The fashion section points out the styles that the well dressed young coed will wear. For the platterbug, the record column presents a comprehensive review of new record releases. Photographs taken here, there, and everywhere on Tech campus are present in each issue. The Arts school affords a ready source of cartoonists and illustrators who doodle their way from cover to cover in an amusing manner. Each of the six issues this year was devoted to a seasonal subject or theme. The first issue of course featured fall registration and rushing. There was an article explaining the Kiltie Band traditions, one on the fall sports picture, and others interspersed with jokes and reflections of campus activities. Homecoming provided the theme for the next Scotlie. There were articles about the football team, stories about the typical returning grads, humorous slants at the vets housing project and many other interest-holding features. The next issue took Christmas as its subject. And soon through the other issues ending finally with the Spring Carnival issue, the Scotlie continued to bring to the Tech student body a cross section of campus life plus grade A entertainment. In a sense the Scotlie is Carnegie Tech. 114 Scothe Fir t Row: Youno. R., Hartman, J., Kr.r.rr.v. M., Miller. II., Smith, N., Richards, L. Srcond Row: Kicks. F... Sciioenbehc.ee. B- Barry. M..

Aaronson Editor John C. Stephenson Business Manager The Carnegie Technical has completed its first ten years of publication with an enviable record. During this time it has become one of the best undergraduate engineering magazines in the country; even during the war years, when many similar publications were forced to suspend operations, the Technical was able to continue its coverage of scientific and engineering developments. Now functioning under normal conditions for the first time since 1945, the Technical staff, led by Hubert Aaaronson, editor-in-chief; John Stephenson, business manager; and Frank Maskicll, managing editor; is turning out a magazine surpassed by none in its field. The Technical commemorated its tenth anniversary last summer with the publication of a special ninety-page issue which was distributed to Carnegie Tech alumni, to libraries, and to leading industrial concerns throughout the United States. The issue, produced under the leadership of Joseph Franz, increased circulation considerable and established new contacts which will undoubtedly enhance the prestige of Carnegie Tech in the industrial anti educational worlds. As part of a general improvement program, the publication policies of the Technical have recently been revised to produce a magazine which will present the best examples of student technological and scientific papers to leaders in industry and education, thus making the publication an effective calling card” for Carnegie Tech. In this way the entire student body will benefit from a favorable impression created in the minds of those with whom the student may someday come in contact. Articles are also being printed which will permit comprehension by those on a less advanced scholastic level; and, to maintain proper balance, one or more articles of an humanistic nature is included in each issue. Although the Technical has already been selected as one of five such publications to be honored by inclusion in the permanent files of the Library of Congress, the staff is constantly attempting to raise the quality of the magazine. 'Phe industrious staff of the Carnegie Technical will continue to present to its critical readers a magazine which is of interest and value to every scientist and engineer. 117 i-pysaa -mt Tri-Pub The old Tri-Publications organization was revived a year ago, and as its first job, published a new Student Handbook for 1946-47. Printed in a new style and design the Plebe Bible filled the need for such a publication at this time and was well received by the student body. It was the first issue of the Handl ook that used color and pictures on the divisions pages, while in factual material it was more complete than any previous one. During the war years at Tech, Tri-Publications, as an organization, was not in existence. The right to publish the Handbook during these years fell to the journalistic honorary on campus. Pi Delta Epsilon. This fraternity gave the school a Handbook that was satisfactory during the war years, but which was felt would be entirely inadequate for the rapidly changing and expanding conditions of this last year. But PiDE did appoint a committee to investigate the steps for organizing Tri-Publications for the purpose of publishing a new Handbook for the new year. Augie Binder, as chairman of the committee to lead in the re-establishment of Tri-Publications, assumed the editorship of the Plebe Bible, and, with the approval of Student Council, immediately began work on the important first issue. As the name applies, Tri-Publications consists of three publications put out by one staff. In addition to the Student Handbook already mentioned, the Student Directory or C” Book, and the Song Book are also published. The “C” Book was again printed under the direction of the'publicity office this year because of certain war-time circumstances still remaining. The Song Book is printed only at infrequent intervals. So for the present year, the onlv task of the organization was to prepare a Handbook for' 1946-47. Engle, L., Lisle, J., Binder, A., Herron, C., Eschenbach, R.

Dorm Bagpiper For the first time since before the war, the Dorm Bagpiper has seen a full year of successful publication. It was reorganized last spring by Men's Dormitory Council, and with Everett “Tut Hoffman as editor-in-chief, the first issue was published in the middle of April, 1946. The staff is composed of dorm students who are interested in devoting their Thursday evenings and one Saturday and Sunday a month to editing it. Each of the dormitories is represented by one or two students who report all items of interest, but any dorm student can contribute news or feature articles whether or not he is on the staff. The Dorm Bagpiper is supported by both the Men's Dormitory Council and the Women's Dormitory Council and is entirely independent of school aid. The paper itself consists of four pages of news, pictures, and features which pertain to dorm life. This year the staff aimed not only to revive the Bagpiper as a Tech tradition but to make it even better than it was in previous years. 119 c •' fouv Young, C.. Prick. V., Kokmkr. B.

C W C A The branch of Carnegie Institute of Technology of the V.W.C.A., The Carnegie Women's Christian Association, is one of the largest religious groups on the campus. Its purpose is to foster spiritual vell-l eing and Christian character among the women students at Carnegie Tech. Also, through the organization's Big and Little Sister Movement, every incoming Freshman girl is helped in becoming acquainted with her fellow students and in becoming acclimated to school life. This program is helped by the election of Freshman officers to preside over all Freshman activities within the organization. The Big and Little Sister Tea, given several weeks after the start of school, gives each girl an opportunity to know the officers and faculty advisors personally. At the beginning of each fall term the out-of-town girls, through the C. W. C. A., are taken to their respective cnurchcs here in Pittsburgh. They are, in this and other ways, prepared for taking up the work that the girls who will graduate must leave unfinished. Some of the major events sponsored by the girls this year have been: combined dinner meetings with the V- M. C. A. at Thanksgiving time, a Christmas party fora number of orphaned children, and a week-end visit to Camp Chcrrio. Fven though many of the events planned for the incoming girls had to be cancelled because of transportation problems during the power strike, the work which the girls did throughout the rest of the year helped the Freshmen feel at home and become acquainted with their fellow students, this being one of the main purposes of the highly successfu 1 orga niza t ion 122 Chapel Choir This group, the only one of its kind on campus, was created for a specific need the need of musical the Chapel Services. Fulfilling completely this responsibility, it has become more than just an impersonal machine doing a routine task. For the Chapel Choir is composed of men and women who wish to sing together. It is the only mixed chorus at Carnegie Tech open to all colleges. The only qualifications one must have to lielong to this group are interest, a desire to sing, and a fair degree of ability. file Chapel Choir has its own conductor, usuallv a student from the music department of the Fine Arts College. This year Charles Tritle assumed the headaches connected with the job. Ilis first big problem was organizing the sixty odd singers who came out at the beginning of the year. Throughout the rest of the two semesters, Chuck” had to choose appropriate music of the season and lead the choir through its practice sessions. Because Chapel Services are scheduled every other Tuesday at the regular assembly hour, music must Ik- prepared the preceding week. This gives the choir only an hour of intensive work to get ready for a performance. Nevertheless, it is a rare service indeed when the Chapel Choir does anything short of superior singing. Carnegie Tech is proud of its impressive and inspiring Chapel Services. Much has Wen done to mane them attractive and worthwhile to lech students. But no other part of the service provides more enjoyment for everyone present than the singing of the Chapel Choir. hint Row: Bauman. A., Winters. I’.. Bombay. Kuiciiukian, I)., Shytii. M.. Buck.

Citcom Clan Citcom Clan is a unique organization of Tech students. The Clan membership, comprised of students from Pittsburgh and surrounding vicinities. commutes daily to school. 11 was originated in 1958 by a group of enterprising students in order to give the commuter a chance to enjoy a fuller college life by encouraging his participation in social organizations on the campus. It is one of the few coed social organizations at Carnegie Tech. After struggling through several lean war years, the Clan again rose to prominence in the past year by sporting its largest membership since 1941. With the return of many of its alumni and with the able leadership of its faculty sponsor, Professor Dawes, Citcom presented a program of wide and varied activities for the commuter. Due to the war Citcom was unable to participate in the Intramural Athletic Program, but now, with the return of many former members, the Clan is again represented in all intramural contests. The Clan’s social calendar blossomed forth with many new and novel events. The Sadie I lawhin's Day Dance of last fall to which the Clan came masqueraded as “Lil Abner” characters inaugurated the program. With many unique parties at the Union and with the return of many old favorites, like the Street Car Party, the Clan lived up to its former motto, “Have lots of fun.” 124 International Relations Club The C. I. T. International Relations Club is one of 1228 discussion groups sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. These groups are located in colleges all over the world. Our chapter, contrary to the evidence given by the accompanying picture, has a membership of approximately lifty students from the schools of Engineering, Margaret Morrison and Fine Arts. The purpose of the group is to stimulate the discussion of International Allairs on campus. To further this end, the Endowment sends fortnightly news summaries and many outstanding books on current allairs to the club. These are placed on a special shelf in the Margaret Morrison library and are available for the use of all students at Tech. Sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment also is an annual regional conference at which the views of I. R. C. members from colleges in the eastern area are exchanged. The Tech I. R. C. meets regularly once a week to discuss problems of current interest. In the past year the organization has brought to the campus such speakers as Mr. C. W. Dressier, associate editor of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and Colgate Prentice, herd of the national Student Federalist movement. Mr. Prentice’s inspiring talk, together with speeches on the terrible conditions in their homelands given bv foreign students here, has made the members acutely aware of the necessity of taking action to secure work) peace. They hove, therefore, set up a chapter of S. E. on campus as a sub-commit tie of I. R. C. 'This croup is becoming i.uite active ; nd has co-sponsored an assembly with tin parent bod Mr. Potter, a new economics professor, is sponsoring the Student Federalist committee, while Mrs. Stuart Chapman. Tech history professor continues to give her invaluable aid as sponsor of the parent body. J'.'r l 1’aljlo. C.. Stkwaht, 1). JifeondMortimkk. A . MAVmiorr, N.. Kvass. I).

Home Economics Club All students who are interested in Home Eco-nomics. regardless of department affiliations, are eligible for membership in The Carnegie Home Economics Club. The growing popularity of this organization is evidenced by the great increase in membership, which in this past year exceeded one hundred. The success of this organization may be attributed to the fact that it goes far toward achieving its four goals: (1) To understand the real and full meaning of Home Economics; (2) To train active and efficient leaders among young women for home and community life; (5) To In-come acquainted with leaders in the field of Home Economics; (4) To Co-operate with the Slate and National Home Economics Association. This year’s program began with a meeting at which Miss Helen Benitez, Dean of Home Economics at the Philippine Women’s University at Manila, spoke about the activities of Philippine college girls during the war. On a succeeding occasion Miss Sawyer, a member of the Home Economics faculty, presented a premier showing of technicolor slides of Alaska which she herself t ok while employed in Federal work in that territory. Another highlight of the year was the club's annual Christmas dinner. And in the spring they sponsored once again a Career Day which provided an opportunity for the girls to meet and speak with prominent leaders in the various fields of I Iome Economics. Perhaps the outstanding project undertaken this year by the organization was the adoption of a war orphan through the Foster Parent Plan. But that was just one of the many things that the Carnegie I lome Economics Club has done toward helping to build a better world. 126 S. A. M. The Tech Chapter ol the Society for the Advancement of Management was started in the Spring Semester, 1946, as the result of the actions of a group of the more active students in the Department of Management Engineering. They realized that Tech’s Managements had no professional society of any sort that would help to relate the theory that was given in class with the actual practices in industry. These students contacted the national Society and received information relating to the manner in which a student chapter could oc established on the campus. After this, Tech's chapter was set up, and since then its membership has increased at a rapid rate. Today it is one of the most active professional groups in the school. The program of the Carnegie Tech Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management is so arranged that a new subject is chosen each month as the topic for the month. In this manner the relationships between Management Engineering and other fields of work arc explored. The Chapter handles the seminar program of the Management Department as one of its activities and arranges the weekly meetings so that students from the department and outside speakers from industry are given the opportunity to present their views on the subject of the month. Outside evening meetings are held where important people in various industrial positions give points of valuable practical experience to the members of the Chapter. It is the intention of the members of this group to continue the work already started so that each member will be benefited by the activities of the group, and so that each memlier will have a greater chance to associate theories of management with its actual practice.

Modern Dance Club An organization which promotes unitv between the three schools on campus is the Modern Dance Club. Any girl on campus who is definitely interested and is selected by Miss Kanrich and active members through the tryouts held in the fall may belong. Members this year have striven to enlarge the organization and to increase the amount of work accomplished. Aside from learning and creating dances and absorbing knowledge about them. Modern Dance girls perform for outsiders, thus passing along their knowledge to others. The group’s purpose is threefold: (1) It is for those interested in the techniques of expressions in movement. (2) It is to see how other groups, professional and amateur, express themselves. (5) It is a social organization. To accomplish their purposes the girls who belonged met once every week for two hours and learned techniques and dances. Special work was done on creating dances, especially individual problems. Throughout the year the group attended all dance programs in the city. Then, too, it put on programs for the freshmen, for parents, for the entire school, for outside groups, and for dance groups in other schools. Modern Dance Club sponsored the allschool square dance held in January. Modern Dance Club is a comparatively new organization. In 1936 girls who wanted to do their own dance compositions invited dance groups from the University of Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania College for Women, and the Genevieve Jones and Y. W. C. A. groups to come to Tech and demonstrate their work. Then, with the help of Miss Kanrich, the Tech girls had classes in techniques and rhythm and formed their own dance club. 128 Men’s Glee Club The Carnegie Tech Men’s Glee Club, well-known in Pittsburgh and Eastern United States music circles before the war, is now starting to regain its former reputation. The first performance of the year was given for patients at the Aspinwall Veterans Hospital. Next on the engagement list was a program at the Nurses Home of the Presbyterian Hospital which was topped off by a swell dance which the girls sponsored for our choristers. As a climax to the work of the first semester, the Glee Club toured Pittsburgh via chartered coach on a caroling trip shortly before Christmas. After performing for the Faculty, the singers closed a formal dinner at Pennsylvania College for Women. The highlight of the evening was the caroling from the lobby of the William Penn Hotel. After serenading President Doherty, Provost Smith, and Mr. Elliott at their homes, and the girls at the various dormitories, the club was received at a party sponsored by the McGill Hall girls. 1 hiring the Spring Semester there was a combined concert and dance at P. C. W., and various other performances around the city. All life is not pleasure, however, for the troubadors of Tech. Gruelling rehearsals twice weekly take at least three hours ol valuable time. Special credit for the successful season of the Glee Club should Ik given to Mr. Paul Brautigam, director and Edmond Colianni. student manager. Fir t Ho.': Shatter, IX, Nroiinr, V„ FHitun, G..

Chemists’ Club Late in 1946, as the enrollment in the Chemistry Department was nearing its normal size, I)r. J. P. Fugassi suggested that the undergraduate members of the Department reorganize the Chemists' Club, which had been disbanded during the war. The lirst meeting was held in October, at which time officers were elected, and plans were formulated for the Club's activities during the coming year. At the same time. Dr. J. C. Warner, Head of the Department of Chemistry and Dean of Graduate Studies, was unanimously chosen as the faculty advisor. Since then the Club has been quite active. At the present time its general program consists of the monthly presentation of technical motion-pictures, and talks l y noted authorities on various phases of chemistry and its allied fields. However, the Chemists' Club is not merely another “science club,'' and in keeping with this thought, it has sponsored several successful social affairs for the Department. The crowning social event of the year is, of course, the banquet which in past years was an annual tradition of the Chemistry Department, and which the Club wishes to perpetuate. The Club's prospects arc very bright, and it is looking forward to a range of increased activities in the future. The present officers of the Chemists' Club are: Mr. Joseph P. Haughncy, President; Miss Eleanor G. Alexander, Vice-President; and Mr. Eli II. F reed man. Secret a ry-Treasu rer. 130 Radio Club The Radio Club was first organized as the Carnegie Tech Amateur Transmitters' Club and began activities in Engineering Hall under the sponsorship of the Physics Department. Activities in the club centered about amateur or “ham” operating. The club progressed rapidly and, in the years preceding World War II, boasted of a first-rate commercial receiver, a home-built, thousand-watt transmitter, and a rotary beam antenna installation. Proof of the success of its efforts is had in the QSL or verification cards which were received as evidence of contacts with countries all over the world. With the outbreak of hostilities in December, 1941, however, all amateur operating was banned indefinitely; but the club was reorganized in the fall semester of 1945. Now since the scope of interests was broadened to all phases of electronics, the name was changed to the Carnegie Tech Radio Club. Its headquarters were moved from Engineering Hall to Room 401 Machinery Hall, and it is now sponsored by the Electrical Engineering Department with Dr. Everard Williams as the faculty advisor. The amateurs are bending their efforts toward rebuilding the transmitter to conform with modern electrical and constructional methods. Other activities in the club arc code practice and elementary theory classes for newcomers in the radio game, and, for those not interested in ham operating, projects such as building twelve inch oscilloscopes or constructing receivers. The equipment for station WCIT was built and installed by the club, although the two organizations are entirely independent. Future plans call for a micro-wave program to be started as a major project. Putt Ron : Abramson, E., Bouhke, W., Kkarns, W ; McCotLOUOII, W. Sr conJ Row: CONNOR, J.. Mkykr, E., WoonrORO, J.; Moork.

Science Club General science students of Margaret Morrison Carnegie College who wish to gain knowledge about their work make up the membership of the Science Club. It has three main aims; to create an interest in the study of science, to study and investigate both theoretical and applied science, and to create a fellowship between the students and faculty of the Science Department. To accomplish these aims, the girls planned and prepared meetings which proved both interesting and entertaining. These included lectures by noteworthy scientists, experiments, and Held trips. At the first meeting of the year Miss Comer, the new physics laboratory instructor, lectured to the girls. She told about the possible jobs available to them after graduation including those of laboratory technician, hospital technician, research worker in a laboratory, teacher and author of books. Throughout the year the club meml crs also had entertainment in the form of parties. Mrs. bang, wife of the head of the Science Department, gave a tea at her home in honor of this year's new members. Members arc entitled to wear the small gold pin of the club; a squib within a benzene ring, symbolizing the two sciences. Biology and Chemistry. Club sponsors include Dr. Lang, department head, and Miss Tuttle, Biology laboratory instructor. Other faculty members of the General Science Department contribute to the programs and aid in guiding the club. In past years members have become Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society. With the cooperation and interest of the members and sponsors in the work of the club, a mutual feeling of ambition has grown among them to encourage them in future work. 132 Film Arts Among the new enterprises which appeared on the September 1946 campus is Film Arts, an organization devoted to the making of movies here at Tech. The club is starting off on a small scale with a live minute production set on campus. In fact, all the subsequent movies will be contemporary and centered in this neighborhood. Phil Pfleeger, the temporary President, and Bob Abelson, Vice President, are working on the organization of the first live minute production with a steering committee representing all parts of the school. The club is so designed as to include every department on campus in its work, anti though the steering committee is the directing body, its members are merely representatives of the club as a whole. Each steering committee member is a chairman of a committee of students from his particular department. The committees handle the various activities which fall within their scope, such as technical work for engineers, art direction for P. l).’s, architects, costume designers, acting and direction for the Drama Department; and secretarial work for Margaret Morrison. The first production, which will be released at the end of 1947, is based on an original script by Billy Heller and Marvin Kolatch, two freshman dramats. Woven into the plot are glimpses of a number of departments on campus, enough to give an outsider a general picture of what Tech is like, both inside and out. Although the first picture may be rather limited due to the amount of time alloted to the production. Film Arts intends to expand in later films, and is now considering scripts for a 45-minute fictional movie to be produced in 1948. Thimbu:, I,. A., Carney, K., Kramer. J.. Peleeoer, P . Sun end a.

Under the very capable direction oi Mrs, Harriet Kurtz, they have gathered together twice each week and have practised diligently for their numerous successful concerts. Some of these concerts included: the annual Christmas Vesper Service at Saint Andrew's Luthcrn Church, the Western Psychiatric Hospital, and the Bellevue Women's Club. They also sang at other churches in and bordering Pittsburgh, and, with the Men's Glee Club held a formal concert at the end of the year. The officers for this past year's Glee Club were: Manager, Anita Mortimer; Assistant Manager, Virginia Rowley; and Librarians, Alice Bcechlcr and Mary Ann Rhodes. The Student director was Imogene Grove, and the accompanist for the organization was Ainslcc Bricker. Silver keys are awarded for two years' participation and gold keys for four years'. The advantages of belonging to the Women’s Glee Club are many. It provides the opportunity for the girls of each school to get to know each other since all women are welcome to join after they pass a reasonable voice test. It combines valuable training in choral singing with enjoyment and recreation. 134 VV. A. A. Each woman of Carnegie Tech automatically becomes a member of the Women’s Athletic Association upon payment of the activities fee at registration. The purpose of this organization is to encourage sports among the women of Carnegie Tech, especially among the juniors and Seniors since the Freshmen and Soph mores have scheduled gym periods. Field hockey, basketball, swimming, archery, and tennis are a few of the many sports found on the campus. Members of the W. A. A. Board act as varsity managers for the various sports, which are arranged in seasons, so that the girls may participate in a wide variety of them during the school year. Practices are held regularly and often one group challenges another. In the early fall W. A. A. sponsors a Play Day for Freshman girls to help them become acquainted with the upperclass women. During the year they have several swimming parties and square dances, and also sponsor a Play Day for representatives from all of the Pittsburgh high schools. At the Annual Awards Banquet numerals, plaid C’s, and sweaters are presented to students who have earned a certain number of points. These points are based on the hours of participation in the various sports. h'ir t Row: Lowr, J., Wilkins, A., Kirch, C- Turner, Sj Steen J Root: Bhunn, M..

This membership includes all classes, sororities, honoraries, departmental clubs, and the dormitories. The activities of the Guild are planned and managed by the president and the other oil ice is who are elected in the Spring. It is a philanthropic society which gives scholarships to outstanding women students on campus on the basis of their ability, character, and need. These scholarships arc awarded through the Financial Aid Committee of Carnegie Institute of Technology. The Guild obtains the money for these scholarships by holding two tag-days and their annual dance. Besides raising funds for scholarships, the Guild members serve as aides at the annual clan gathering, and they help with orientation of Freshmen during the first few weeks of the school year. They are also called upon throughout the year for their assistance in supporting campus activities. 136 Y. M. C. A. The Senior V. M. C. A. cabinet, observing its twenty-fifth anniversary year as a campus organization, carried on an active program in support of its twofold purpose as a religious and service organization. In the religious field, the V cabinet promoted and directed with the C. W. C. A. the regular chapel services, cooperated with the nearby churches and church clubs, sponsored religious discussion week, and took part in local, regional and national religious retreats and conferences. As service to the school, the campus Y took part in orientation week and offered assistance with personal problems and emergency housing. The cabinet, swelled to its largest membership in years by the returning veterans, acted under the direction of Rollin V. Davis, executive secretary of the Branch Council, and resumed its place on the reconverted campus as the leading men’s Christian organization. The Tech branch of the Y. M. C. A. is closely affiliated with national and international organizations of its type l oth through the parent Y.M.-C. A. and through the National Intercollegiate Christian Council and Work! Student Christian Federation. I-ocally, the Y. M. C. A. of Pittsburgh cooperates closely with the cabinet, as does the faculty. The student operating group is the senior cabinet. I'he Freshman cabinet is open to all who are interested in fuiilling the purpose of the Y. It holds programs and religious discussions designed to broaden the individual. The year's program included an open house for freshman men during orientation week, joint dinners with the C. W. C. A. at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and participation in the national conference at the University of Illinois in IX cembcr. First Row: RosEsnACii. J.. NkubkrT, V., Davis, R . Pugii, K . Staek. E.

Aero Club The ever increasing universal interest in aeronautics is reflected in the growth of the Carnegie Tech Aero Club. Originally springing from the academic interests of those students in the Aeronautical Engineering Department, it has grown to include students from nearly every department on the Tech campus. The story of the Aero Club would not be complete without mentioning the prewar influences of the Glider Club and the student chapter of The Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences.” At present, The Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences” is comprised solely of students in Aeronautical Engineering who hold their meetings simultaneously with those of the Aero Club. This provides the club with the many facilities of this national organization. The weekly meetings have provided a store of knowledge for those attending. At each meeting after the necessary business has been quickly dispensed with, an enlightening talk was given either by a student or a distinguished person connected with the aircraft industry. Occasionally the club draws on the facilities of the I. A. S. and shows films of interest to all. In order to provide extra-curricular activities for interested parties, the club acts as a nucleus for tours of aircraft factories, trips to air shows, personal and military flying, experimental work in both model anti full-sized aircraft, and its own newspaper, The Trim Tab.” The technical activities are augmented by an extensive social program. Hayridcs, swimming, skating and bowling parties are but a few of the many events that rounded out the year’s activities. The enthusiasm of its members and the willing assistance of Professor A. II. Blaisdell and Mr. E. W. Obringer arc making the Aero Club one of the fastest growing organizations on the Tech Campus. 138 Spring Carnival Committee Spring Carnival” is synonomous with happiness, color, and gay spirits for three days at Carnegie Tech. It is The Social ICvenl of the Year.” Spring Carnival is sponsored by Omicron Delta Kappa, national activities honorary for men, but participation on the various committees is open to all members ol the student body. The activities of Spring Carnival were somewhat curtailed during the war; but after a lapse of one year, it came back in the spring of 194b with a day and a half of gay celebration. On May 1, the 1947 Spring Carnival festivities began with a very colorful parade. Invents which followed were the Scotch and Soda production. Call Day, the Coronation of the Campus Queen, the Fraternity Sweepstakes, the Sorority Roller Derby, and various Carnival Acts. Two dances were held, with the second bringing the climax to the 1947 Spring Carnival. The bazaar and midway were open during the entire Carnival festivities, and served as an integral part of (he Carnival, with approximately twenty-live campus groups taking part in the bazaar. The 1947 Carnival Committee began its organization in the summer of 1946 with the election of the general chairman by the members of the Omicron Delta Kappa. Immediately, steps were taken towards electing a committee. Finally, in the fall of 1946, the selections were completed, and the 1947 Carnival Committee was formed. With the continuous and untiring efforts on the part of the various committees, and with the cooperation of the entire student hotly, the 1947 Spring Carnival was definitely on a par with the pre-war Carnivals.

WCIT On Monday, November 18, 194b, WCIT, Carnegie Tech’s Campus Radio Station, went on the air, adding an interesting and valuable activity to CIT’S extra-curricular roster. Spurred on by Professor George B. Kinbcrly, and using equipment built by Jim Woodford and Frank Pake, a group of students organized this group at the beginning of this school year, and after a lew weeks began a schedule of regular broadcasts. Operating through the school’s power lines, WCIT could originally be heard only by the dormitories and the FPHA barracks every night, from seven to eight p.m., Monday through Friday. At this writing, plans were being drawn up to connect the farternity houses to the network by means of telephone lines. From the very beginning, the station offered a great variety of programs to its listeners. In addition to newscasts, and recordings of popular and classical music, WCIT featured dramatizations, variety shows, live talent musical programs, new fashions, and sports commentators, and many special programs. The organizers of WCIT hope that the accomplishments of this first year are only the start of an elaborate and permanent broadcasting system. A bigger studio and additional equipment will make possible studio audiences for recitals, variety programs, and quiz shows, anti enable WCIT to broadcast on-the-spot accounts of out-of-town varsity games and important events on and off the campus. WCIT is headed bv the following officers: Fph Abramson, Station Manager; Bob Parks, Production Manager; Jim Woodford, Chief F.n-gineer; Dave Crantz, Program Manager; and Krnie bowenstein. Business Manager. Professor Kimlterly is the faculty advisor. 140 Scotch and Soda Scotch and Soda s back, and as this year’s show, Rock 'N' Riot.” went into rehearsal at the beginning of the Spring semester, there was not a student on campus who was not aware of it. Posters appeared on every bulletin board announcing tryouts for the various departments of the production, and from that moment on Scotch and Soda was in the limelight. And well it might; for, picking up where the war had forced it to stop in 1942, Scotch and Soda is well on its way to become the biggest and best college show of its kind in the country. At last, this year, several of the old members of Scotch and Soda returned to Carnegie lech and decided to revive the club. They met with immediate co-operation from the faculty and the students. Student Council offered $200 as prize in a script contest for this year's show, and before the end of the Kail semester the production had been outlined and everything was on its way. Rock Riot, the 1946 show, was written by Dave Crantz and Ernie Motyl, with music by Kenny Welch and Howard Palmer. Lawrence Carra, member of the C. I. T. Drama faculty and an expert in the direction of musical comedies, was selected as director by the S. S. Executive Board, and under his able leadership rehearsals were in full swing by the end of February. Almost immediately there was a great demand for tickets, both from students and outsiders, but unfortunately no Pittsburgh house could be secured for any prolonged run. The play will open a three-day engagement in the Music Hall on Tuesday, April 29, and this date will mark the beginning of a career which will in a few years place Scotch and Soda at the very top of all college productions of its kind.

Math Club The Mathematics Club embarked on an ambitious program last summer after completely reorganizing. The club had been inactive during the war years, and began organizing, under the leadership of students interested in mathematics, with a new aim in view. The Mathematics Club planned to affiliate nationally with a professional mathematics fraternity and worked throughout the year toward this goal. The object of the organization is to provide programs on topics in the field of mathematics which are not covered in the class room, anti to present them in a manner which can be easily understood by undergraduates. Meetings are held at which speakers from the faculty and from outside the Institute are invited to talk on various subjects related to mathematics. The first speaker lieforc the group last fall was Edward I . Fireman who spoke on Some Applications of Group Theory to Modern Physics. Other topics were discussed at various meetings such as Vector Methods and Operational Methods, Stcrographic Projection, and The Differing Meanings of the Word Average. The advisor for the Mathematics Club is Professor J. B. Rosen bach. Officers arc Ben Schwartz, who replaced Theodore Bean as President last fall, and David Wallace, Secretary and Treasurer. The Club is not restricted to Mathematics majors or to students taking mathematics courses, and anyone interested in the subject is welcome to attend the meetings. 142 Techiles at Work and Play Mu . Dojirk. Mu C. M. Dozer. Mk. K.S Titoan:, Mr. J. L. Elmott Alumni Federation Commencements may come and commencements may go, but the Alumni Federation goes on forever! The Alumni Federation represents your desire to carry forward “Dear Old Tech to your children and your children's children. It is the guardian ol your student memories and the spur to your undergraduate ambitions. The Alumni Federation of Carnegie Institute of Technology was formally organized after the first commencement in 1908, and it was not until 1936 that it took the position of influence it deserved in school affairs. Realizing that an active, interested alumni body makes for a strong school. President Dohertv oftcred to finance the alumni work from school funds if the alumni would manage and direct the organization. Accepting this magnificent opportunity, the Alumni Federation was organized with the Clans as the foundation units. The Clans are local alumni clubs organized in cities throughout the country to carry on the Tech spirit and to promote the best interests of Carnegie and its alumni. Representatives of these Clans meet annually in Pittsburgh to elect the ofliccrs l the Federation ami to set the policies of the alumni work. The two most important projects of the Alumni Federation are the Alumni Fund and the Steffen Memorial Scholarship Committee. The Alumni Fund, managed by a board of nine alumni with four ex-officio members from the school, administration and faculty, is the medium through which (he alumni express their financial interest in Carnegie and its future. Until June 30, 1946, all alumni contributions were added to the 1946 Fund to help the school raise the $4,000,000 required by the Carnegie Corporation of New York before they would give (he school their check for $8,000,000. 144 This project was successful anil when the final figures were totaled, it was found that the alumni had contributed nearly $384,000. When this was matched 2-for-l by the Carnegie Corporation it meant that the alumni had been responsible for increasing the endowment for Carnegie by $1,151,000. For the coming year the Alumni Fund Board has set as the objective for alumni, giving the accumulation of an unrestricted fund from which the Board can from time to time allocate funds for timely and important projects for the benefit of the school. The Steffen Memorial Scholarship Committee was established by the alumni to award scholarships to scholastically able athletes at Carnegie in memory of Tech's great football coach—Walter P. Steffen. During the war years no scholarships were awarded due to the restricted athletic program but, starting with the fall of 1947, Steffen Scholarships will again l e awarded. The Alumni Office is your service bureau maintained to keep in touch with you and your activities. It is interested in everything you do and is ready to help you in every way possible. Each fall, the Alumni Federation promotes an Alumni Homecoming and Reunion where the live year classes and their friends gather to renew their Utnds with their classmates and the school. These affairs are the highlight of the alumni season and arc more interesting as the years roll on. Mr. Frank E. Foote, E'30, patent attorney for Mine Safety Appliances Company of Pittsburgh is President of the Alumni Federation for the vear 1946-1947. -f)thletic5 Firti Stuv Luc . K-, McGuroan. J.. Smith, S..

It was by no means an easy task, but with the smooth cooperation of old members and newcomers a nucleus of approximately twenty men formed during the summer months blossomed into a well-organized band of seventy to eighty members by the first month of football season. There were doubts in many minds as to whether or not the Kilties could be rebuilt to their pre-war standards in such a short time after a complete collapse of three years, but these doubts were quickly and permanently erased with the first performance at Forbes Field. The trumpet fanfare and snappy marching before gametime, the Scotch dances and bagpij e antics during the games, and the colorful drilling and playing during halftime proved to be the highlights of every Saturday afternoon. It was like watching a well-disciplined three ring circus put to music. To round out a good season, the band will be making trips to neighboring colleges, possibly playing at basketball games, and of course giving an excellent account of itself at various formal concerts throughout the rest of the year. Since Carnegie Tech wore knee pants, the Kiltie Band has been the indispensable spark plug of spirit and tradition. Its bright plaids and flashy white spats are a familiar symbol throughout the East of what a good college band should l� c. Its conspicuous uniforms, fast marching cadence, and novel performances have made it the outstanding school organization; and every man who wears the plaid skirt deserves our thanks and praise for putting the Kilties back in the limelight where they belong. 149 Kiltie Candids 150 151 Fitii R u1.'

Football Carnegie Tech, after a lay-off of three years during the war, returned to gridiron warfare this season under the leadership of Coach Bill Donohoc, and assistant coaches Cantini, Irwin, and Burns. This year’s schedule, although lighter than in previous years, brought the Tartans into competition with relatively small schools, which were for the most part, loaded with veteran talent. The Tartans were a comparatively light team averaging about 175 pounds, and it was mainly because of this that the speedy and deceptive T” formation was chosen in preference to previous single wing power tactics. Tech’s hopes for a successful return to the football scene were shattered in the opener against Obcrlin at Forbes Field, when the Tartans went down to defeat by a 25-0 score in a game played in a sea of mud. The second game of the season, under the arc lights at Geneva, brought Tech no better luck with either the weather or the final outcome. For three periods the Tech grid representatives put up a gallant fight on a very soggy and muddy field, but the wild final frame ruined our hopes with the team finally losing 56-0. Before a Homecoming Crowd of 10,000 the Tartans were whipped by a strong and aggressive Washington and Jefferson team. Case, at Forbes Field, further thwarted all hopes for victory. In the next game against the Buffalo Bisons, the Tartan warriors put on their best exhibition of the season by halting the drives Benjamin Baklarz, Captain of their bigger and more experienced opponents for three quarters, only to have the tide turn in the final frame, and end up on the short end of the 28-0 encounter. In the final game of the season Grove City got its first victory over the visiting Tech men since 1909 by winning 20 to 0. This was the final game, and although the season was not a success, the efforts of the players and managers against the many handicaps should be recognized and commended by all. The team was composed primarily of service veterans many of whom had played at Tech in ftrevious years. The captain of the squad was Jen Baklarz, a two year letterman at Teen and the winner of the most valuable player award, offered by one of the fraternities.

March iskdbalt The beginning of the 1946-47 basketball season found Tech with a large group of lettermen recently returned from military service, plus a new coach, Wild Bill Donohoc, himself a former Tech star. From the outset the prospects looked brighter than they had for years because of this wealth of experienced players. For the last few years Tech coaches had considered themselves lucky to get men with high school experience, but here were a full dozen men with previous varsity college experience. Basketball at Carnegie Tech appeared to be on the upswing. Other schools, however, found themselves blessed with the same good fortune. Tech's first opponent of the season. West Virginia, a national championship team in 1946-46, had all five of the starting lineup returning this year. Such was the caliber of Katselas Theodore Rieml Clouiierty House Luther opposition facing the Tartans. In the face of such strength, they could do little, but fight back gamely, and this they did, but to no avail. Playing the role of underdog in every game. Tech lost her first six games. The team seemed to lack unity, and Coach Donohoc substituted freely, giving every player a chance to prove himself, in an effort to find a winning combination. Culbertson and Katselas, early in the season established themselves as scoring threats. Both players favored a one-handed push shot, and they could hit from any corner. Illness, however, forced Culbertson to quit the game, and the loss of his sting seriously handicapped the Tartans in their struggle to score a victory. Tech did enter the win column, though, when they upset Case. This victory was short-lived. Klein Ward Mkvkr Chet lin however, for Penn State defeated them bv a decisive score later in the season. At mid-season, two former varsitv stars, Mike Theodore and Leo Clougherty and Katselas as forwards, and Klein and Meyer at the guard positions. This proved to be the best combination as both Clougherty and Theodore showed their spark of former years, while Klein established himself as a long range scorer, and Meyer proved to be a ball hawk under the back-boards. It was these five who fought Pitt tooth and nail to overcome a twenty point lead, tie the score, and then go down in the final seconds. They later scored another upset in defeating Allegheny College at Meadville. These five men along with Riehl. Chetlin, Matsev, Luther and House deserve considerable credit for their spirit, good sportsmanship, and gameness. Fuel Rett: Daniels, I... Ward, V . Boyd. J., Katselas. T.. Kohn, S..

Soccer Once again Carnegie Tech fielded a fine soccer team, emerging with a season record of four wins and four losses. More than 40 men, the largest aggregation ever, turned out for the first practice session in October. Yet, among them were onlv a few experienced hooters from the victorious 1945 eleven. Coacli Pat O’Connor had to start from scratch to choose his first team from among the many eligihles. With only five days of practice behind them, the Tartans opened the 1947 season at Slippery Rock with a 2:0 defeat. This contest was valuable experience for the men, many of whom had never In-fore played soccer on a regulation field. During this game. Bob Dismukcs, who was one of the bright prospects on the team, suffered a serious knee injury in the second minute of play which sidelined him for the remainder of the “46” campaign. The Tartans garnered their initial victory with a 6:3 decision over Frostburg State Teachers in the Carnegie “Bowl. Next came a close 2:1 defeat by the same tough Slippery Rock eleven, who had an undefeated season anil were officially declared area champs. Allegheny edgeil out the Tartans in a 1:0 battle, the deciding point being a freali goal. Then came successive 1:0 and 5:0 victories over Thiel and Westminster respectively. An injury riddled squad invaded Oberlin and lost another close one 1 :0. 'flic biggest success of the season came when the Skibo booters downed a once-beaten Grove City team 1 K). It was the final tussle, and the boys were determined to win it to avenge their 1945 setback. Fine heads-up playing by every single man on the team, coupled with some terriflic defensive work by the halfbacks and fullbacks, put the game on ice. Captain Cloyd Mellott, playing his final season for Tech, was the team s leading scorer with Don Hart in the runner up position. Ralph Kindblom anil Ed McGchee excelled as defensive players with Dick I Icckman, Marty Dorff doing a fine task of goal tending. Other standouts on the team were Len Kroko, George DeMoraes, Ken King. Tony Marmo, Bob Williams, Bill Knepper, Hamilton, Art Mraz, and Otto Abraham. The prospects for tne 1947 campaign are indeed bright with many letter men coining out for another rough season of soccer. Fir I Mr : Peahiateis, Lee. Venxkr. Spangler, Feecumin. Patterson, Zukasky.

Swimming Team 'fhe swimming team resumed its pre-war schedule with Western Pennsylvania and Ohio college swimming teams. With four veterans from the 1943 varsity team back. Coach Riscdorph built a team which gave several opponents more trouble than most Tech athletic teams. Some of the competitive meets were held with teams which were the best in the history of their colleges, but Tech’s team made an impressive showing against them. Two freshmen who did outstanding performances were Dave I.uckey and Brian Burke. These fellows handled the breast stroke and l ack stroke, respectively, and arc promising candidates and nucleus for the team in the next three years. Kerwin Spangler completed his last varsity year as leading individual scorer for the team and cocaptain of the team with Herbert Yenzer. Spangler is the versatile free styler who swam long distances and, when needed, was called upon to perform in the sprint events. Stu Lee is another veteran of 1943 who contributed winning places to the team score by placing first or second in the diving competition. The rest of the members of the team deserve due recognition for their fine work because if they had not placed in their respective events, the scores which the team gathered would not have been very impressive. Also, these men will l e the leading contenders for next year’s team since Lee, Spangler, and Yenzer will have graduated. 161 First R tr: Hkamer, B.. Christenson, A., Armour, l .

The Intramural Board is composed of thirteen members, six fraternity representatives appointed by Interfraternity Council, six from the dormitories and Citcom, and one man representing the Manager’s Club. Mr. Moses is the Advisor, having succeeded Air. Risedorph, and aids the Board in all its functions and duties. Intramural sports during the past year have had greater participation than ever before in school history, and it is the function of the Intramural Board to govern the general conduct of the various sports under its jurisdiction. Its job is to prepare schedules, provide for the necessary officials, decide disputes or conflicts, and to award trophies to the champions in the individual sports. An intramural point system has been devised by which the individual teams are awarded points for their participation and achievement in the different sports. The points earned by each team during the season are totaled at the end of the school year, and the team with the highest point total is awarded an All Point Trophy. This award, won last year by Beta Theta Pi, is a large gold cup with gold statuettes on the top and around the base. The major sports, touch-football, basketball, and mushball carry the highest point awards, but the minor events such as swimming, table tennis, bowling, boxing, wrestling, volleyball, and others carry correspondingly lower point ratings. The intramural sports are for the most part group activities, but sports such as badminton, handball, and foul shooting are open also to l oth singles and doubles competition. 162 J Qt5 onalltle5 ft 2i4ee uL Terry Reig, a member of A.

Before the judges made their decision, each candidate was asked two questions which was answered by expressing her opinion on such problems as C.I.T. sports. Student Council representation, school spirit, and personal habits such as breaking dates, smoking and drinking, and wearing slacks and jeans to school. Then, on the merits of her answers, personal appearance, poise, and carriage, the queen and her court were selected. Phil Pethikin, Junk Hawk. Terry Rr.io, Marik. Minnkmkyer.

Alpha Tau Omega was founded at Virginia Military Institute in 1865. It expanded until today there are over 150 chapters throuhgout the nation. The f)elta Pi Chapter was established at Carnegie Tech in 1923. The chapter was inactive during the war, but was reactivated in the Spring of 194( . Since that time the chapter has grown rapidly with the returning brothers and the new initiates. The house has had many improvements since its reoccupancy. With the aid of the alumni and lots of work from the meml ers, the house is again resuming the status of “old”. The chapter has again established its eminence in social, athletic, and scholastic activities. We are represented on the Intramural Board, in varsity athletics, and in intramural competition. The Alpha Tau’s boast a championship team in softball and strong teams in the other sports. Scholastically, we have several members on the honor roll, in such honoraries as Tau Beta Pi. Theta Tau, and Pi Tau Sig ma. The fraternity has men in the Glee Club. Teknon, Rules and Regulations Committee, Student Conference Committee, and claims the president of the Interfraternity Council. Socially, the fraternity has been increasingly active since its reopening. There were several parties in the summer and Saturday night house dances became a pleasant regularity. Homecoming was a big gala weekend shared with the alumni. In January a very successful conclave for the entire district was held. Alpha Tau Omega is very glad to lie luck on the campus of Carnegie Tech. The Fraternity tries to make the life here more enjoyable by a sensible combination of work anti play. Our goal is to build friendships as lasting as H the knowledge we learn. ____i OFFICERS Freed, C.. Rrcardtr; Rape, C.. Wardtn; Kohn, St Srcrrlary; Sherry, E„ Pntidmt. Beta Sigma Rho 1 he first regular post-war year of school found men from many classes returning to Beta Sigma Rho. Broadened by travel that had carried them to all corners of the world, and experiences they would never forget, they returned to find that the bonds of fraternity life had grown even stronger in the years of their absence. The new home on Morewood Avenue, which opened early in the semester, soon became a center of scholastic and social activity. At Homecoming the fraternitv’s lawn display won first prize. A gala open house introduced the men of the fraternity to the student body and opened the year’s active social calendar. Included in the calendar were the annual tea for Freshman women, breakfasts following various campus events, the formal dinner preceeding the Interfraternitv Dance, and in the spring, lawn parties held on the spacious rear lawn. Among the guests at many of these affairs were men from chapters of the fraternity at Cornell, Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania. On the campus, men of the fraternity were active members of the honorary and professional societies, including Tau Beta Pi, Tau Sigma, Delta Skull, and Scimitars. The fraternity fielded teams in intramural football, vollev-ball, and ping-pong, and several Beta Sigs were on tfie varsitv and junior varsity basketball squads. In publications Beta Sigs were on the staffs of the Vartan, Scottie, anil the Technical. The Film Arts Club, WC1T. the Glee Club, and many other extra-curricular activities counted men of Beta Chapter among their most active members. The war took from the fraternity of Beta Sigma Rho some of its most promising undergraduates. The memory of their comradeship will live forever in the hearts of those who knew them best and will Ik an ever present inspiration to the men who follow in their footsteps.

Biewenek, J. p‘ A lot of lads from the house on the hill have passed thru the registration line since the last Thistle came out. with the most obvious result being the biggest Gamma Iota chapter of Beta Theta Pi of recent times. Everybody seems to Ik- back from the war; so many, in fact, that there wasn't room for all the lads in the house. (They didn't line! out how lucky they were until later.) The furnace works this year, which is in the nature of another radical change for the better. Now, we hope, our reputation for throwing stone-cold parties in an ice-cold house will undergo some modification, at least the part about the house. And if our legal eagles get their way with the by-laws, you can never tell what might happen to the parties, too. Already there have been exceptions to the past rule; the annual party for the Presbyterian Home for Children, belli just before Christmas, was one of the liveliest yet. In fact, the kids got to play with the trains a little too, when they could get them away from the actives. Apparently baseless rumors were at one time circulating that a certain dark horse from 5n49 Forties was conducting a campaign to boost himself as a candidate for 1947 King of Hearts by bolding court week-day afternoons at our Murray Avenue annex, Liflander (Iicrnie-Nc cds-a-Nc v-Suit) Towers. Only time will tell if it’s true or not. but if hollow legs are any advantage. I ’m sure our lx� y Bailey is in. But we can shiv without fear of contradiction that the brothers are doing more than ever before in their activities, in particular the S’ Cabinet.

T. and the Shelter” for a vacation in the armed forces returned in droves this year, creating a terrific housing shortage. After much streetwalking and room-hunting, however, there are no longer any Delts who find it necessary to sleep on the pool table or other places equally as hard, and they all have been able to return to school. Fortunately there are few. if any, campus activities that do not include at least one Delt in there pitching for the good C. I. T. and D. T. D. Their spirit of participation and cooperation has earned a reputation for them that is difficult to surpass. F.verv school-wide event was helped on its way by a friendly hand from Delta fau Delta. It may have been only a lowly pledge helping to decorate the g.vm for the dances, but no matter what it was. the Delts were there. Varsity athletics saw at least one Delt on every squad with Delt cheerleaders to urge them on. Delts were also active in intramural sports, coming up with a league championship in football. Delta Tau Delta did not, however, restrict all of its energy to extra-curricular activities. It has its share of eager I leavers anti brains too. as can Ik shown by the many Delt names appearing on the honor roll and in many honoraries. All in all, the Delts have had another line year at Carnegie Tech, and are looking forward to manv more in the future.

Delta Upsilon The highest praise beneath the sun is still being sung to Delta Upsilon. Brothers, seventy strong, back from the wars have livened the house ami put the old peacetime spark in the fraternities activities. With men from as far hack as the fall of 1939, Delta Upsilon houses a hetro-genous group of technical students whose differences in age anti experience have resulted in a combination of youthful spirit and matured knowledge for the good of every brother, and the advancement of the fraternity as a whole. Physically the house is in excellent condition. The first paint job since 1938 brightened the general outlook for the year while the addition of a fifteen foot bar in the game room gave an added lift to the spirits of the brothers. The D. U.s social calendar has been full from the beginning of the year. Beside the regular Saturday night affairs, there have been picnics, pledge parties, orchestra dances, and a number of novelty parties. In keeping with the traditional motto, A D. U. in everything and every I). U. in something.” the brothers have gone all out in campus activities. The house has l een well represented on Student Council with four brothel’s holding offices during the vear. Proof of the fraternities high scholastic standing is the array of brothers in Tan Beta Pi. Theta Tan. Eta Kappa Nu. and Pi Tau Sigma. (). I). K., Delta Skull, and Scimitar, the activities honoraries, all claim a number of men from the house. Offices held on campus include: Managing Editor of the Technical, Business Manager of the Sco tie.

Beside a large number of men on the staffs of the various publications, there are others in the Kiltie Band, in the V Cabinet and the Men’s Glee Club. ACTIVES Fire I Row: Maskikll, F.. Taylor. IL..

Kappa Sigma The beginning of (bis school year fouiul Kappa Sigma in its respective place on Tech campus after a prolonged and necessary alienee of a little over a vear. In the spring of 1944 the last brother was called to active service, and the house was turned over to the University of Pittsburgh PiKAs. who rented and maintained the house until tile return of a nucleus of Kappa Sig brothers for the spring semester of 1946. On June I. 1946 the house was vacated by the Pitt PiKAs. At that time Delta Alpha of Kappa Sigma was reactivated and the summer rushing season resulted in six pledges. With the advent of the fall semester many of the old gang returned to find the house and fraternity up to its prewar standards. A successful rushing season was held with twenty-one pledging and rushing week was climaxed by a dance featuring Bill I.eRoy and his orchestra. Social activities were pursued in true Kappa Sig form, centering around the annual Kappa Sigma invitational formal dance. The social program also included Homecoming. Junior Prom breakfast, the Orphans’ Party on the afternoon of the Christmas Party. Carnival week-ends, and several parties for the sororities. Individual members distinguished themselves in a wide range of campus activities, including representation in Delta Skull. (). I). K., Y-Cabinel. Interfraternity Council, Student Council, Tau Beta Pi. Intramural Board, Kiltie Band, Glee Club, anti the various publications.

Trta urtr; Phi Kappa Phi Kappa, a national social fraternity for Catholic men. was founded in the year 1880 at Brown University. Rho Chapter was established at Carnegie Tech when a local fraternity, and since it embraced the same ideals ami purposes as Phi Kappa was granted a chapter. With Carnegie Tech finally emerging from the war years into some semblance of the prewar atmosphere, the purple, white, and gold of Phi Kappa again found its place among campus groups. With many of the brothers in varsity sports, assorted honorarics, publications, ami governing todies, the fraternity is taking full advantage of the extracurricular activities on campus. The social season highlights, which will l c remembered by many, featured the annual pledge party, which well displayed the talents of a promising pledge class. The well organized social committee made splcnded use of the remodeled recreation rooms, and alumni who visited the chapter house during the Homecoming weekend open house seemed envious of the gayctics of college life. To stimulate interest in varsity sports, Phi Kappa has conceived the idea of awarding a trophy to the outstanding football player of the year. The recipient of the initial Joe Pash Memorial Trophy was Benjamin Baklarz, and plans have been made to continue the award as a yearly custom. T he fraternity has again resumed publication of the chapter newspaper, the “Rho-Bote.” which is sent each month to the alumni throughout the nation, and hopes in this manner to perpetuate the many friendships started at the chapter house.

Pi Kappa Alpha I he loginning of 1947 marks the 25th anniversary of the Beta Sigma Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha on the Carnegie Tech campus. Not only has this oast year been an important one for the fraternity, with the return of many brothers; but it has been an important one for the college, with the return of all the prewar characteristics of campus life. During 25 years of campus activity Pi Kappa Alpha has helped to show that fraternities hold an important position in college life. Consistently Pi Kappa Alpha men have shown line records in campus organizations. This was especially shown during the past year with Feature and Publicity Editors on the Scoltic, Managing and Advertising Editors on the Thistle, and Publications Chairman on Student Council. Pi Kappa Alpha was also well represented among such honoraries at Tau Beta Pi. Eta Kappa Xu. Scabbard and Blade, and Delta Skull. In varsity sports PiKA's turned out for football, track, and swimming teams. The social season was highlighted with many never-to-be-lorgotten dances and parties, among the most outstanding allairs were the surprise Halloween party, the Christmas dance, the always different pledge party, anti all that goes with Spring Carnival. As the Carnegie Tech campus again returns to normal, the brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha unite to maintain the ideals and aims of the fraternity and of the school. ACTIVES UrttRet: Watts, J.. HACKi.ru.

Tan Della Phi The Tan Delts returning from service in the armed forces found their fraternity retaining the prominent position on campus which it had gained in prewar years. Tail Delta Phi began the post-war era as an organization outstanding both in the scholastic and the extra-curricular Held. Psi Chapter of Tau Delta Phi lists among its members the president of Tau Beta Pi, the editor of the Carnegie Technical, the business manager, a past editor, and other editorial hoard mem tiers of the Carnegie Tartan, the manager of the Kiltie Band, the station and business manager of WC1T, the president of Interhonorarv Council, two members of Student Council, and members of Delta Skull, Tau Beta Pi, Phi Kappa Phi. Eta Kappa Nu, Theta Tau. Scotch and Soda, Beaux Arts, Pi Delta Epsilon, anil the varsity football. basketball, rifle, and soccer teams. In addition, many Tau Delts are working in various capacities tor the Spring Carnival Committee, and several professional societies. In the intramural field the fan Delts l egan the year successfully by capturing the all-school championship in touch-football. Rep resenting Carnegie Tech in an interschool game with the intramural touch football champion of Pitt, the Tau Delts were nosed out seven to six. As the Thistle went to press, Tau Delta Phi had teams contending for the crown in intramural volleyball, ping pong, and bowling. Remembering almost wistfully the twenty or thirty couples attending their wartime social functions, the men from Walnut Street found that the only drawback to their successful social season was the great number of people who came to the dances. The house was crowded to capacity at such memorable affairs as the annual pledge dance, the Junior Prom breakfast, and the two receptions, one for Freshmen Women and the other for the Alpha Epsilon Phi sorority.

E.’s originated this affair to enable the freshmen to become better acquainted with their fellow students and the Carnegie Tech campus. If the advertising which accompanied this election was an indication of its success, then the S. A. E.’s purpose was certainly fulfilled. The queen was crowned at the successful formal Coronation Dance sponsored bv the S. A. E.’s at the Twentieth Century Club. S. A. E. has lieen well represented in all campus organization and activities. The most prominent of these la-ing Student Council. I heta Tau, Tau Beta Pi, Scimitar, all main campus publications: the Tartan, Thistle, Seattle, and Technical, Kiltie Band, Glee Club, chcerleading squad. Intramural Board, and varsity football, baskctliall. and track teams. The men of 5028 Fraternity Row can always Ik- counted upon to field a spirited intramural team. Socially, S. A. E. remains one of the foremost on the Skilm campus. Stag parties, teas, old-clothes parties, formats, program dances, dinner parties, and breakfasts, kept each of the seventy Sig Alphs socially active throughout the year. The purple anti gold Greek Sing and Swing championship quartet is always called upon to perform at parties. 'The S. A. E.’s pulled a pleasant surprise when they serenaded the girls' dorms accompanied by their German Band, which greatly impressed their audience. In all ways, this year has been a very profitable and enjoyable one for S. A. E. on this campus, and the Tech chapter is looking forward to even more outstanding and successful years in the future.

Sigma Xu Sigma Nu Fraternity was founded at Virginia Military Institute on January 1, 1869 and lias grown steadily to a position as one of the ten largest national fraternities. Beta Theta Epsilon, the lirst local fraternity on the Tech campus, petitioned Sigma Nu and lie came Delta Sigma chapter of Sigma Nu Fraternity on October 7. 1916. For manv years it has remained one ol the best, as well as, one of the oldest fraternities at Carnegie Tech. Sigma Nu numbers among its alumni many men who have taken a large part in school activities. Like many fraternities on the Tech Campus during the years 1941 and 1942, Sigma Nu liecame a war casualty. Bv 1943 the services had taken their toll of its members. The chapter liecame dormant after every man, including the fraternity advisor, had left school. At the beginning of the second semester last year four members returned to find that there was no advisor, no house, no more than Just four student members, and some active alumnae. It was against such odds that Sigma Nu liecame re-established on the Carnegie Tech campus. Within that spring semester, the fraternity had tripled its si .e. Many returned veterans became Sigma Nil’s and as each following semester progressed the organization doubled itself many times. At the beginning of the 1947 school year the fraternity was back to normal, participating in school activity and intramural sports as it did liefore the war. As Sigma Nu has taken a large part in major s|H rts in its past history at Tech, it is now resuming that part. Today, more than thirty percent of the fraternity is engaged in major sports. Sigma Nu is not only active in sports, but over ninety percent of its members participate in at least one extracurricular activity. ACTIVES Flnl Ro : Pacpamiva. P. Van Eakby. 11,. Snr,t.ira .

Dean, Alpha Epsilon Phi November 21, 1946, marked the third anniversary of Alpha Nu Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi. In three short years the girls who proudly wear the pearl and gold letters of Alpha Epsilon Phi have distinguished themselves as leaders in scholarship, activities, and friendship on Carnegie Tech campus. For the second consecutive year they were awarded the Scholastic Cup for the highest scholastic average of any sorority. In April of 1946 the memliers of the green and white won Honorable Mention at Greek Sing and Swing. You’ll find A. E. Phi represented in almost every campus organization: Cwens, Mortar Board, Women's Guild, Pan-Hellenic Council, Sigma Alpha Iota, Women’s Glee Club, Dorm Council, Tartan, Thistle, Scot lie, Bagpiper, Spring Carnival Committee, C. W. C. A., IRC, Home Economics Club, W. A. A., and the Margaret Morrison Senate. A. E. Phi’s social calendar for 1946 included several annual events which are looked forward to each year by its members. After the gay festivities of rushing season, culminated bv a Candlelight Dessert, nine happy pledges proudly wore the green dinks bearing the white letters A. E. The pledge party for the actives, rough and formal initiations, and a dinner in honor of the new sisters followed in rapid succession. A gala affair in March held at Totem Pole Lodge in South Park high-lighted the Sorority’s social season. The Mother's Day Tea was as always a favorite event of the girls. The traditional all-night Senior Breakfast, the final partv of the year, was the gayest yet saddest of all; for though we know our seniors will retain their warm feeling of sisterhood long after they graduate, we hate to see them leave. As they take their place in the world, we feel confident that they will carry with them the high standards of Alpha Epsilon Phi. ACTIVES Fir t Ra ': I.attermas, V., Glass, F... Domoer.

Hardly had the members caught their breath when they were in the midst of plans for a large benefit dessert bridge and fashion show, sponsored by their alumnae to support Chi Omega's scholarship fund, at which the girls entertained by modeling and singing several popular choral selections. Still later in the year they took time out for luncheons and dinners together, week-end parties, tea dances, a large formal dance, and their annual Mother's Day tea. The Chi O's are recognized, as they go about campus, by their straw-colored jackets with the red emblem of an X and a horseshoe on the pockets. They arc active participants in many phases of school affairs, the honoraries, publications. Student Council, and Women’s Guild being among their activities. One of their favorite activities and pleasures is singing, for they arc, on the whole, a very musical group, a talent of which they make much when Greek Sing and Swing comes around each year. This love which the Chi O's have of playing and working together is evidence of the perpetuation of the purposes and ideals upon which Chi Omega was founded over fifty years ago. The policies of the fraternity stress the development of each individual girl, and of the friendship, co-operation, and spirit of unity of the group. Chi O also emphasizes the importance of high scholastic attainment. Thus the organization endeavors to inspire each of its members to strive for ever greater satisfaction and achievement in her personal, social, and academic life.

The Alpha Tau Chapter of Delta Delta Delta, now in its third year at Carnegie Tech, is one of the leading social sororities on campus. A delightful week at Cook's Forest in September’s sunlight appropriately began the social season of the Delta Delta Delta. After school opened, the Tri-Delts were distinquished on campus during rushing season by their white wool French stocking caps. Their first rushing event was a unique Under-Sea party; this was followed by a tea given at the S. A. E. house. When the season ended, the portraits of twenty attractive coeds were added to our Tri-Delt family album. The new pledges were welcomed at a dinner held at the Ruskin Apartments. During the year 1946-1947 the Tri-Delts social calendar included a matchless week-end at North Park in November, Founder’s Day banquet at the College Club, parties given by and for the pledges, teas, tea dances, initiation at the Pitt Chapter house, the annual Pansy Breakfast, and many never-to-be-forgotten events. Tri-Delts are active in all school activities, anti are represented on Mortar Board, Phi Kappa Phi, Cwens. Intcrhonorarv Council, Science Club. (Pres., N ice Pres., Sec-Treas.), Women's Guild, W. A.

Delta Gamma When you sec a girl in a blue jacket and pink hat, take a second look because she is a Delta Gamma. And if you listen very closely, you might Ik able to hear her singing something about a gal named Haim.” Follow her and you’ll be able to understand why she’s so happy. She, with the other members of her sorority, started the year with two successful rushing parties -the first, a formal tea; and the second, a big shindig” at the Anchor Bar Ranch. Then she gave jacket and cap to one of her new pledges. Later in the year, she went to numerous fraternity parties, a dance for all sorority pledges at C. I. 'I'., a slumber party or two, and a dance for new initiates. Is it any wonder that she looks so happy? The next semester found her all dressed up to go to the annual Founder's Day Banquet and formal dance, which was held in March. And to end the year, she attended the candlelight service for the I). G.'s who were graduating. The girl you see might lx a member of Mortar Board, Cwens, Student Council, M. M. C. C. Senate, Women's Guild, or the Dorm liagpiper. You'll find a Delta Gamma in every one of them. If her purse looks slightly empty, it's certain that she has generously contributed to all benefit and fund drives, and she might even have paid her dues. ACTIVES Fire! Ron-: ScilMirr, M. Powell, J..

Kappa Alpha Theta Good times are alwavs in sight with the Kappa Alpha Theta girls around. Even in the summer, there were activities, for the cottage at Madison-on-the-Lake buzzed for ten days with enthusiastic Thetas. Off to a living start this year. Thetas spent three days at South Park completing rushing plans. After a successful tea at the Pitt Theta nouse and a party in the form of a Smorgasbord, twelve girls donned the black and gold kite of Kappa Alpha Theta. The social calendar was filled to the hilt with a formal initiation dance at the Roosevelt Hotel, tea dances for several fraternities, slumber parties, and a spring formal at the William Penn. This past year Thetas won the first Seville sales contest, a competition based on the number of magazines sold by each sorority on campus. As a result, Jeanne Boltev was chosen as the Seville Calendar Girl-of-the-Month. Also winning the coveted honor of being a mcmlier of the Jhi.rlte court was Phyllis Petrikin. Sharing in top honors given by college organizations. Theta presidents ruled over Mortar Board, Cwens, and Women’s Dormitory Council. Thetas were also represented in Pi Delta Epsilon, Sigma Alpha Iota, and Beaux Arts Societv, and as members of the Tartan (Mary Jane Horridge, Co-editor), Student Council, Seville. Technical, Spring Carnival Committee, and the Glee Club. Thus bv combining fun, friendship, and scholastic achievement, and by working and living together harmoniously, the Thetas have found their place as a national fraternity on campus.

They were distinguished on campus by their dark blue hats with light blue letters of Kappa Kappa Gamma on them. On December 14. thirteen sophomore girls were initiated into the sorority. The Kappas have I n on extremely busy this year with school activities and social events. Several of the girls were elected to Mortar Board, Owens, Pi Delta Epsilon, and Student Council: while others have liven active on the Thistle, Scottie, Women's Guild, C. W. C. A., the Student Handl ook, Scotch and Soda, ami Spring Carnival. Their social events consisted of banquets, teas, a holm party, a dance given by the Phi Beta Pi s of Pitt, a pledge-active party, anil two formal dances. On February 12, eleven more girls were pledged to K. K. G. at a pledge ceremony followed by a dinner.

J. 7 VHREE SCORE AND TEN arc the number of years alloted to man—but few businesses achieve the distinction of continuous operation for almost three quarters of a century. When this company first opened its doors for the publication of the weekly DuBois Courier, twelve hours was the normal work day—and an apprentice started to work at three dollars weekly. Type was set by hand under lamp light, and the press of the shop was an old Washington hand press on which the weekly edition was printed. This press, long a relic of interest in our reception room, was relegated to the salvage campaign of war years. Today's books and publications, printed under the same imprint of that old Washington press, are continuing proofs that the high ethics, ability and leadership of its founders have been carried down to the present day. The Gray Printing Company extends to the young graduates of a new generation, sincere wishes for prosperity and good fortune in many future years.
