’54 Thistle : f Techno burgh, Pei 7 C 11 4- One of the most active and popular persons connected with Carnegie Tech was Guy Halferty, coach of the cross-country and track teams. Track at Carnegie Tech has long been synonymous with the career of Guy Halferty. During the thirty years under his guidance, the track team compiled a record of 87 wins, 54 losses and one tie while the crosscountry squad compiled a record of 61 wins and 52 losses. A fitting climax to Mr. Halfcrty’s career was the unblemished records of his teams during the past three years. On February 16, 1954, Carnegie Tech lost not only an outstanding track and cross-country coach but close and true friend in GUY HALFERTY. In his memory we dedicate this book. Guif Halfertif Carnegie Tech’s “New Look” During the past year Carnegie Tech’s long term redevelopment program or “new look , much of which is still in the blue print stage, commenced with the razing of the famous and traditional Carnegie Inn. In its place will rise a modern million-dollar dormitory for Tech men. We would like to welcome the new dorm, Donner Mall, to the Tech campus. May it serve the student body as faithfully as the Inn. This new dormitory, expected to be ready for occupancy in the fall, will accommodate 243 students and will replace the present “barracks which only cares for ninety-eight men. The building will be constructed of concrete slab with side walls of aluminum paneling and generous use of glass. The basement of the new dorm will be used as a field house for the athletic teams — locker rooms, coaches’ rooms and equipment storage space. Also included in this program are plans to remove Whitfield Hall, one of the graduate dorms, and push the hill on which it sits into the Tech bowl in order to raise the level of the bowl about twenty feet. This will make the new level closer to the lower portion of Donner Hall where the field house will be located. When this is accomplished the football field will be relocated from Forbes Field back to the Tech campus and the home football games will be played there. This move is being made in hopes of improving the school spirit among the students and thereby improving the calibre of the football teams and giving them more student support. On April 12th, President Warner announced a plan for a new fraternity-dormitory construction. The main feature of the plan is a four unit quadrangle instead of the present individual house system. This plan was advanced as a solution to the need for better quarters for some of the fraternities in the near future and as part of the overall plan for more adequate student housing. These buildings will be located between Beeler Street and Morewood Avenue on the Carnegie Union side of Forbes Street. As soon as the plans for new buildings arc approved construction will proceed; however, the plans are purely in the preliminary stage. The Board of Trustees is also considering a new library building and a new student union; however, plans have not yet materialized on this particular phase of the redevelopment program. Thus begins the long awaited NEW LOOK at Carnegie Tech! Freshman Week September! and life at Carnegie Tech is suddenly in full swing. Freshman Week! Fun!! But also, orientation, tests and registration. Orientation meetings help to familiarize you with the college community. You learn about the Carnegie Plan and the kind of education you can expect at Tech. Advice is given which may help you to adjust promptly and satisfactorily to college work and life. At the dorms, too, you are oriented. Dorms have certain rules and regulations which must be followed to attain satisfactory democratic living. Women are acquainted with these rules at a party given by Women’s Dorm Council. Much fun is had at this party and many lasting friends are made at this time. Of course, some of the rules arc forgotten and you find yourself in “hot water” with the housemothers, but they are patient (bless ’em). A smoker is held by Men’s Dorm Council for the men living in the dorms. Any fellow who has the “gift of gab” will find an outlet for his talents here. As a freshman, you stand bewildered before the building that is to be your home for four years, and instantly you arc besieged by men who greet you and carry your luggage, and the fun beings. If you are a woman, you find yourself bewildered by all the talk of fraternities and blind dates; if you are a man you are asked to go to fraternity “smokers” and parties (dates supplied) Before you arc completely aware of what's going on, fraternity rushing is in action. Then, introductions to the various activities and organizations at Tech and a co-ed Freshman picnic at Schenlev Park. I Iere sports and square-dancing are enjoyed and many more new acquaintances are made. By Friday you are beginning to droop a little under all the strain and excitement, but Friday evening is the President’s Reception and you begin to perk up for the big weekend ahead. After the reception a dance is held in the Fine Arts lobby for freshmen only, and you begin to feel more like a member of a privileged group instead of one of the masses. The Kiltie Concert on the Fine Arts lawn on Saturday afternoon is quite enjoyable, especially when everyone joins in singing Tech songs. After the song fest you are welcomed at a YMCA-YWCA dinner for all new students. As Saturday night ends with parties and gay excitement, so also does Freshman Week, and you are now really a part of life at Carnegie. Mrs. Hagins Dorm Life Phqsicals Doc Hall Kiltie Lau n Concert Registration Dean’s Reception Activities Open House Mrs. Mercer Fraternity Smoker Big - Little Sister Tea Qetting Acquainted There are on campus many familiar scenes and landmarks. But within even a student’s stay at Tech, these scenes change or disappear. Within our own four years here, Industries Hall became Porter Hall; the Inn was razed to make room for the new men’s dorm; the old parking lot made way for the G.S.I.A. Even the infamous Castle disappeared. To capture some of these fleeting memories, we have included a few of these scenes. In the years to come, we hope this section will recall the campus which was yours— way hack in 1954! • • ... «VV RQARET MORRISON - afc ..H TOBf v. moreu INE ARTS ARC Football Row 1: Row 2: Row 3: Row 4: I.

Tom Warner Carnegie Tech can boast of five winning seasons under the head coaching of Dr. Eddie Baker for the 1953 football season ended successfully with a five won — three lost record. Since coming to Carnegie as head coach in 1949, Dr. Baker has completed season records of 4-31 in 1949, 7-1 in 1950, 6-2 in 1951, 4-3 in 1952, and this year's mark of 5-3. Pre-season predictions for this year's team were not gocxl. There were only three seniors returning to the squad and many of the starting positions were vacated by graduation. However, as the season progressed, the team gained experience and ended up with a good record. CARNEGIE-0, WESTMINSTER—6 Opening the season at Westminster, the Tartans had the first game jinx again as the Westminster Titans, in a game characterized by poor offense, downed the Tartans of Carnegie Tech 6-0. The game was a scoreless tie at half-time but in the second half, Westminster intercepted a pass on the Tech 20 yard line and went on to score the only score of the game. MANAGERS - BRADLEY, STALL, BIRDSALL. NEIMARK CARNEGIE-21, ALLEGHENY-12 In the first home appearance the Skibos bounced back from their first game defeat and trimmed the Allegheny Gators 21-12. The Tech offense was greatly improved for this game as the Tartans took charge from the outset on a bootleg play early in the first period. Tbe Gators came right back to score but failed to make the extra point. The half found Tech leading 7-6. The third period was a scoreless one but the first play of the last quarter put the score at 14-6, Carnegie. Tech's third touchdown came as a result of a sustained drive that carried the ball the length of the field. Before the final gun sounded, however, the Allegheny team scored once more to make the final score 21-12. CARNEGIE—27, JOHNS HOPKINS-0 Traveling to Baltimore, the Tartans decisively showed their superiority as they easily defeated Johns Hopkins 27-0. Two touchdowns were scored in the first half ending with a score of 13-0. Hopkins couldn’t get their offense started as Tech's strong line completely stopped the single wing attack with two more touchdowns in the second half. CARNEGIE-26, GENEVA-27 The Geneva Covies sported a 27-26 victory over the Tartans, spoiling the homecoming day for the Tech followers. A high scoring game, the Tartans seemed, at times, to forget all they ever knew about defense. The halftime score was 14-6, Geneva. A third touchdown in the second half put Tech ahead 26-21, but the sleeper play in the last 10 seconds gave Geneva the game. CARNEGIE-31, CASE-12 On a muddy Clarke field in Cleveland, the Tech eleven galloped to a 31-12 triumph over a scrappy Case team. The first quarter saw the Tartans score two quick touchdowns. The third and the fourth touchdown of the second quarter ended the half with the score 24-0. The second half saw a different Case outfit as they scrapped back and held the Tartans scoreless until the last quarter when a Tech man broke through right tackle for a 43 yard dash to the end zone. Then Case banged across two scores and the game ended with Tech winning 31-12. Walter Selavko Ed Ziegenfuss John McCarthq CARNEGIE-13, ST. VINCENT-7 At the last home game of the 1953 season, the Tartans played a superior game in upsetting a favored St. Vincent team 137. Tech started the game off right with the half ending with Tech ahead 7-0. Early in the third period, a speedy St. Vincent back grabbed the ball on his own twelve, and rumped to St. Vincent's first and only score. The extra point was good and the score was tied 77. Tech then intercepted a pass at midfield and directed an attack that was climaxed by a six-pointer. This was the end of the scoring and Tech had a 13-7 victor '. CARNEGIE-21, WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON-7 After trailing 7-0, the Skibos came raring back to score a 217 victory over Washington and Jefferson at Washington, Pa. The game was played on a slippery field as snow fell throughout the entire contest. The score at half time was a 77 tie. In the third period. Tech went ahead when four plays carried the pigskin 75 yards for a score. Late in the final period, Tech scored and once again came out on top with a 217 win. Bud Karcher Al Schell John Williamson Frank U engrqzn Eddie Miller CARNEGIE— 13, LEMIGH-26 Only once in fifteen tries has Carnegie been able to defeat the Engineers of Lehigh University. This year proved to be no exception as the Tartans went down to defeat before a large crowd at Taylor Stadium. The score was 26-13. Lehigh scored twice in the first period and once in the second to hold a 200 advantage at halftime. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that Tech managed to score. I Iowevcr, Lehigh fought right back and scored in seven plays to make the score 26-6. Tech kept up its spirit that was present throughout the season even though they came out on the small end of a 26-13 score. Graduation only claims four men from this year’s squad, so Tech followers can look forward to a successful 1954 campaign. The men lost by graduation are: Tom Warner, Ed Zigcnfuss, Walt Selavko, and Ed Sauer. Tom Warner received the I artan award for the outstanding athlete of the year and the Joe Pash” trophy.

Roger Coyle, and Hap McDonald, the cross country team completed its third consecutive undefeated season, and won its second Tri-State Championship in three years. Rob Carman, former Tech star, helped coach the cindermen in the absence of ailing Guy I lalferty. In the first meet of the season Tech easily defeated the Jeanette Harriers 21-34 (low score wins). The Tartans outran Geneva in the next meet, 23-32. Case was the next victim of the men from Tech. On a rainy, muddy day the Tech team gathered the first seven places to defeat Case 15-40. Mai Gillies covered the 3.8 mile course in slightly over 20 minutes. Olds, Coyle, and McDonald all tied for second place. Because of schedule complications, Tech ran against both Slippery Rock and Westminster at New Wilmington, Pa. Although all three teams ran simultaneously, the contest was scored as two separate dual meets— Temporary Coach-Bob Carman CROSS COUNTRY TEAM Row 1: A. Hayes, M. Gillies, A. Olds. R. Coyle, II.

Burdened hv misfortune and injuries, the Skibos won the Tri-State Championship at Slippery Rock by defeating Geneva, the closest competitor, 42-55. Olds, Gillies, McDonald, and Campbell all ran in form to give Tech the championship again in 1953. TRI-STATE TEAM Row 1: A. Olds, A. I layes, M. Gillies, R. Coyle Row 2: B. Lasker, R. Campbell, H. MacDonald Coach Carman, Captain Haqes Intramural Football In the Intramural football race, Theta Xi easily walked off with the championship by defeating the Phi Kaps 24-5. It was the quarter hacking of Russ Eastwood that gave the spark to the Theta Xi team as they won most of their games by lop-sided scores. Football is the first intramural sport to get underway at the beginning of the school year. This year there were three leagues with seven teams in each league. The first and second place teams of each league are allowed in the championship playoff. After the champion has been determined, that team represents Tech in the play-offs for the city championship. Theta Xi lost to Duquesne 37-29. It was a good game as Russ Eastwoods’ trickery kept Tech close to the more experienced Duquesne champs.

The Newman Club defeated Alpha Tau Omega 15-8 to cause the three-way tie- between Theta Xi, Alpha Tau Omega and the Newman Club. In the Tartan League Sigma Alpha Epsilon escaped defeat during regular season play as they copped the league championship with a 6-0 record. Phi Kappa and Pi Kappa Alpha had a real battle for second place in the league. Eventually Phi Kappa took the second place honors with a record of 5-1. In the Kiltie League the champs again managed to get through the regular league play with no defeats. The championship in this league going to Delta llpsilon with a 60 record. Second place honors were taken by the Beta Theta Pi entry which compiled a 5-1 record. The scoring is devised so that a team receives five points for a touchdown anti one point for every first down that is made. All Stars Row 1: A. Blank (New- man), J. Shenker (PK), F.

In gaining the finals, both teams had a rough road. Alpha Tau Omega had to sneak past a strong Pi Kappa Alpha team which had reached the semi finals of the playoffs. The Phi Kaps met last year’s champs, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, in their semi-finals tilt and the Phi Kaps were forced to three games before finally winning. There were four different leagues of volleyball teams. The first two teams in each league were entered in the play-offs. The league winners in each league were: Plaid League — Alpha Tau Omega, first and Sigma Nu, second; Skibo League — Phi Kappa, first and Kappa Sigma, second; Tartan League — Sigma Alpha Epsilon, first and Pi Kappa Alpha, second; Kiltie League — ASCE, first and Beta Sigma Rho, second. Phi Kappa and ASCE were the only two teams that were able to get through the regular play with no defeats. The volleyball race actually was one of the closest in recent years and most of the league championships were not decided until the last two nights of play. Most Valuable Plaqer - Bill Boneq All Stars Mixed volleyball has been included in the intramural program for the first time this year. From the enthusiasm that was shown this year, the intramural department feels that mixed volleyball will become a permanent part of the program. The Kappa Alpha Theta - Beta Theta Pi team won the championship by defeating the Obelisks • Independents. The Theta - Beta team came from behind to defeat Kappa Kappa Gamma - Sigma Nu, 15-4, 13-15, 15-13 to take the National League Title. The two teams had been tied for the league lead previously. The National race was strictly a race between the Kappa-Sigma Nu team and the Theta-Beta team. In the American League the race was between the Obclists - Independents and the Tri-Delt - Sigma Alpha Epsilon team. Actually, the Obelisks - Independent outfit waltzed into the championship. The Obelisks - Independents had finished their season play with a five and one record, and anticipated a play-off with the Tri-Delt - SAE team who it was expected would defeat the Delta Gamma - Phi Kap entry but the results turned out much differently as the Delta Gamma - Phi Kaps whipped the Tri-Delt - SAE team 15-12, 13-15, 15-9. The Theta • Betas defeated the Obelisks - Independents in the final to walk off with the trophy.

Birdy, physical education instructor, formed Carnegie Tech’s first Extramural Volleyball team so that Tech could participate in the Tri-State Volleyball Tournament at Pitt. This was the beginning of the extramural volleyball program, the team being selected from the all-star players in Carnegics’ intramural volleyball competition. This year, because there were twenty-five candidates, Coach Birdy formed two teams — an ‘A’ and a ‘B’. These two teams entered two tournaments, the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Tourney at Binghampton, New York and the Tri-State Tourney. In the Intercollegiate Tourney, ‘A’ bracket, the 'A' team finished as runner-up losing to George Williams University of Chicago. In the ‘B' bracket. Tech's 'B' team did a little better as they walked off with the championship. In the tri-state meet held at Pitt’s Field I louse, the ‘A’ team again finished second behind the University of Pittsburgh. The B’ team ended up fifth in this tourney. The Skibo team took on a respectable Duqucsne University team in the feature attraction of Duquesne’s intramural night and easily trounced the 'Dukes’ in four straight games. Row I: J. Salay, G.

CARNEGI Athletic Awards Athlete of the Year Tom Warner, a senior Industrial Management student, was unanimously chosen as the varsity athlcte-of-the-year by the athletic panel for the TARTAN. A hard driving fullback on the gridiron, Tom led the Tartans in scoring during the 1953 season. The winner of the TARTAN award is selected on the basis of sportsmanship, all-around ability, and value to the team. Joe Pash Au ard The Joe Pash trophy is awarded yearly to the outstanding football player of that season. Tom Warner was the winner of this trophy. The Joe Pash trophy is awarded by Phi Kappa fraternity in honor of Joe Pash, a football player who was killed in World War II. Al Blank Intramural Athlete of the Year Al Blank was the overwhelming choice for the Intramural Athlete-of-the-vear award presented by the TARTAN at Spring Carnival. The award, which is given only to seniors, is based on participation in activities of the intramural program, sportsmanship, and all-around ability. Members of the Intramural Manager’s Club and Intramural Board made the selection. Al Blank participated in practically all of the various sports as a member of the Newman Club. Al was also selected as the most valuable intramural football player along with Russ Eastwood. Al is an Industrial Management student. Al Cerrito Au ard William C. Doscy, an Industrial Management junior from West View, was awarded the Al Cerrito Memorial trophy. This trophy is awarded to the best all-around varsity basketball player of the year. This trophy is awarded by Alpha Tau Omega fraternity in honor of Al Cerrito, who played varsity basketball and was a member of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity before his death in his junior year. A committee which includes the coaching staff, athletic director, and trainer made the selection. Bill Doseij Freshman Sophomore Competition Traditions Test Alumni Federation John Elliott I wonder what my old roomie is doing now? Arc there any Tech grads, whom I knew, presently living in my new home-town? 1 lundreds of questions like these pour into the Alumni Office on the second floor of Admissions. Close friends, fraternity brothers, and classmates scatter throughout the country after graduation and become lost. The Alumni Federation, directed by John Elliott, has as one of its many functions the task of keeping up to date on the whereabouts of the thousands of Carnegie Tech graduates. Armed with over 17,000 addressograph plates, cross-indexed files, a complete set of Thistles, and a staff of amateur detectives, the Federation is able to locate '‘lost'’ alumni as well as take care of the 4,000 annual changes in address. Through these files as well as the personal touch maintained by Mr. Elliott, the many letters sent in by interested alumni can be answered. This service is furthered by the Carnegie Alumnus which is sent out four times a year to all Tech alumni. This magazine is really a letter from home. It contains news from the campus, the changes of address, and the personal happenings of Tech Grads. Another service of the office is the sponsoring of Homecoming during which former Tech students from all over the world — South America to Hawaii — can get together and renew old friendships. In addition, local groups or Clans are organized for mutual benefit and pleasure and to maintain and revive Tech memories. At present thirty-three such Clans exist as well as informal ones in Honolulu, London, and Paris. To belong to this friendly and helpful organization, the Alumni Federation, all that is asked is that you, the Tech graduate, keep the office informed of changes in your address. There are no dues or obligations. Every former student who spent at least one semester at Tech is automatically a member. Next time you have a question about your old friends at lech, try the Federation first!

Bercsi Homecoming Committee Unlike most honoraries, the two Senior honoraries — Omicron Delta Kappa and Mortar Board arc extremely active. Each year ODK takes on the task of presenting Tech s Spring Carnival; alternatively with Mortar Board, it presents the I lomccoming Weekend. Although this was ODKs year to present Homecoming, a committee consisting of both ODK and Mortar Board was formed. The result was a very successful weekend — 53 Skidoo! Plans were completed after long summer meetings and Sunday sessions . . . only the work was yet to he done. Student interest was soon aroused by the appearance of flapper dresses, raccoon coats and an old car for publicity shots. Throughout the campus, many a light was burning all nigbt as fraternities were completing their house displays and as sororities were preparing for the return of Varsity Varieties. At long last the final nail was pounded and the latest Charleston step completed. The time was here for the weekend to arrive with the swarm of alumni to revisit their Alma Mater. Homecoming Dance With the weatherman cooperating, classes ending at 12:30, and the alumni infiltrating the campus, all were ready to enjoy the Roaring Twenties” in ’53. The highlight of the Carnegie Day was the crowning of the Homecoming Queen, Carole Seifert. After a bite of lunch, the crowd assembled in the Little Theatre to enjoy Varsity Varieties at which the AEPhi's attained first place. Late Friday afternoon the strategic work of the fraternities was investigated by the judges whose decision was final in awarding the cup to Alpha Tau Omega with their Push ’Em Under, Tech. The display showed a roaring twenties Tcchitc pushing a Geneva football player into a huge AT O beer mug. Fraternity pledges later had the opportunity to scream forth in completing for the honors in pledge cheers. The Sigma Nu’s were the winners of the first place trophy. Saturday morning found the campus quiet once again but by afternoon everyone was on hand at Forbes Field to cheer Tech’s team to victor)’. I lowever, victory was lost in the last few seconds of the game as Geneva surprised the fans and the team with a sleeper play.’’ Tech lost 27-26. Disappointed but recuperated, the crowd attended the semi-formal dance in the gym to trip the light fantastic to the music of Benny Benack. For those jazz lovers, Walt Harper was also on hand to supply the desired tempo. As the gym was undecorated on Sunday morning, reminiscent workers were present. It was agreed that the overwhelming success made the “BI xk1, sweat, and tears” seem worthwhile. Varsity Varieties Panhellenic Council Row 1: J. Turri. A. Bradburn. See., B. Iludacck, L.

Miss Campus Chest In cooperation with the Community Chest Drive, A Phi O presented the yearly Campus Chest. The student goal was $1,000; to reach this quota, money-raising campaigns were sponsored by student organizations. The UMOC . . . Ugly Man On Campus . . . campaign consisted of any number of candidates ranging from dogs to professors. Pictures were then displayed in Skibo and students voted by donating money. The winner was determined by the amount of money he managed to collect. John Button won. In contrast to UMOC, another campaign was co sponsored by KAT and KKG to elect one lonely creature to represent the student body as Miss Campus Chest of 1953; for proprieties sake and to save undo embarrassment ... not to mention reputations . . . only male students were eligible. The drive got underway with a Skibo entertainment plus a personal appearance of all candidates. Dressed up like maids of Arabia . . . with faces covered . . . the contestants strutted their stuff for the judges . After much consideration they finally selected the first lovely from the left. I he DU’s had quite a time explaining when the unveiling revealed Johnny Peoples as Miss Campus Chest of 1953. Chemistry Prof. F. D. Rossini Seated: R. Holmes. F. Klison, C. Browne, P. Southwick, J.

By being in the field, the future officer is able to apply his three years of ROTC training to the solution of real-life problems. Phase I, Phase II, Phase III — these were the bywords of the Signal Corps at Camp Gordon. Blood, sweat, and tears were the results. But mostly sweat! The luxuries of barracks became only dreams when the troops took off for the sand dunes of Georgia early in the training program. At Belvoir all the Tech engineers were kept together — prize-winning E Company. It was hard work — building roads, bridges (all M -Is), laying barbed wire and mines under the Virginia sun, then a tactical problem at night, and up again at four-thirty for a day at the range. And so Jack Armstrong, you did like Summer Camp! Military Ball The second big dance of the season was sponsored by Scabbard and Blade, the ROTC honorary. This formal was held in the gym to the music of Benny Benack and his orchestra. The sororities, the dorm towers, and other women organizations had previously nominated candidates for Military Queen; and excitement ran high before the dance concerning the outcome of the vote. The high point of the dance came when Joan Coltsman, of Alpha Epsilon Phi, was announced as the 1954 1 lonorary Colonel. Joan was attended by Pat Letts, Barb Mall, and Lin Smith. The beautiful queen and her three attendants reviewed the troops for the year. Row 1: Jean Mertz, Rachael Kaizin, Mary McClure, Lin Smith.

McGinnis, R. Mocker Pre-season expectations for the 1953-1954 Tech cage team were very bright. Coach Mel Cratslev was quoted as saying about the Tartans, “the best little team in the district.” A lack of height certainly proved to be the big stumbling block to a very successful season as the little men were only able to win twelve of twenty-five games for a 12-13 record. I lowever, although there was no one over 6'2 tall on the team, the Skibos set a new Tech scoring record. The old record of 91 points in a single game was shattered in the first game of the season as the Tartans scored 92 points against West Virginia in a 96-92 overtime defeat. This record was again broken on February 6, against Grove City as the cagers rang up a 96-49 victory on the opponents floor. Not satisfied with breaking the record twice in one season, the Plaids broke the record again as they hit 100 points against St. Vincent on February 13. Row 1: W. McGinnis. D. Heep, J. Boyd, B.

Cratslcy Another bright spot in an otherwise mediocre season is that no one will be lost by graduation. All of the team are returning as there were no seniors on this year’s team. In fact, the starting five consisted of four sophomores, Jim Boyd, Ralph Mocker, Walt McGinnis, Dick Fieler, and one junior, Bill Doscy. CARNEGIE 92 WEST VIRGINIA 96 Opening the season against a strong West Virginia team, the Tartans surprised the 6,000 fans gathered in the Morgantown. West Virginia, gym as they saw the heavily-favored Mountaineers squeeze by Tech in a see saw overtime battle where the lead changed hands twenty times. It was free throws that won for WVU as they made good 34 shots to Tech's 24. Jim Boqd CARNEGIE 66 WAYNESBURG 62 In the Tartans second encounter, against the Wayncsburg Jackets, a sec-saw battle in which the lead changed hands 15 times saw Tech win in the last seconds, 66-62. The game was halted 40 minutes because of a slippery floor that had to be cleaned up before play could resume. Bill Doscy led Tech scoring with 19 points. CARNEGIE 78 GROVE CITY 49 Making their first home appearance, the Skibo quintet needed a 32 point third period to down the Grovers, 78-49. Nervous in their first home appearance, the Tartans played a ragged first half, leading by one point 30-29 when the half-time buzzer sounded. In the second half, the Skibos found themselves as they turned the game into a route. CARNEGIE 65 GENEVA 75 In the first real test for Mel Cratslcy’s Tartans the Geneva Covics proved too strong an opponent as they won 75-65. Lack of height proved too great an obstacle for the Skibo team to overcome as Geneva’s big center, Stan Yukica, poured through 24 points. CARNEGIE 42 DUQUESNE 65 Meeting the nationally ranked Duquesne Dukes at the Duquesne Gardens, the Tartans proved to be no match as they went down in defeat, 65-42. Although the Tartans kept their spirit high and battled brilliantly to the end, the boys from the bluff were out of Tech’s class. CARNEGIE 77 WESTMINSTER 84 Meeting the undefeated Titans of Westminster on their home floor, the Tech quintet figured to give the Titans a real battle. The game proved to be a real battle as the score was tied 73-73 when the buzzer ending rcgulaiton time sounded. In the overtime, the Westminister boys preserved their winning streak, 84-77. Again it was a case of lack of height as the Plaids couldn't stop big Jim Riley, Titan center, who scored 33 points. One consolation is the fact that l ech outscorcd Westminster in field goals, 32-30.

This was the first time in the series that Steubenville has defeated Tech in basketball. Dick Fielcr was high for Tech with 23 points. CARNEGIE 84 ALLEGHENY 68 After three straight defeats, the Carnegie Tech Tartans finally broke into the win column as they triumphed over the Allegheny ’Gators, 84-68. It was Jim Boyd who paced the Tech attack as he scored 25 points. CARNEGIE 52 GENEVA 68 In the second encounter with Geneva, Carnegie Tartans stayed abreast with Geneva for almost three quarters but a late, third period rally put the Covies out in front 68-52. Jim Boyd paced Tech with 15 points. CARNEGIE 58 PITT 69 Coach Mel Cratsley in the past has taken special pride in being able to defeat Pitt more than Pitt defeats Tech. However, Cratslcy’s charm didn’t hold this year as the Tartans lost twice to Pitt. In the first game, it was a sloppy game played at the field house in which Pitt came out on top 69-58. Billy Doscy tried to arouse the Tartans, but to no avail, as he was the game’s high scorer with 20 points. CARNEGIE 51 WASH. JEFF. 63 In a wild game played in Little Washington, the Plaid lost to the tall boys of W. J. 63-51. Tech went ahead in the fourth quarter, 42-41 on a set shot by Jim Boyd, who again was the Plaid’s leading scorer. The lead was only momentary as the opponents scored the next 12 points and coasted from there to victory. CARNEGIE 75 ST. VINCENT 65 Getting back into the winning ways, the Tartans downed St. Vincent by 10 points, 75-65. Bill Dosey, with 16 points, was the leading scorer in a sloppily played game. CARNEGIE 62 ' YVAYNESBURG 55 In the return game with the Jackets of Waynesburg, the Tartans again came out victorious as they won by 7 points, 62-55. The scoring was evenly divided between Fielcr, Mocker, Doscy, and Boyd as the Plaids scored from all parts of the floor. Walt McGinnis CARNEGIE 67 THIEL 63 The Tartans marked up their third win in a row as they victimized Thiel, 67-63. Jim Boyd's field goal and Bill Doscy’s pair of foul shots broke a 60-60 deadlock in the waning minutes to put Tech ahead to stay. Dosey scored 22 points to lead the Tartans. CARNEGIE 74 CASE 72 In probably the most exciting game of the season, the Tartans of Carnegie Tech defeated Case, 74-72, in the last minute of play as Eddie Miller scored to break a 72-72 tie and win the game. CARNEGIE 96 GROVE CITY 49 Playing in Grove City’s new gymnasium, the Plaid cagers of Carnegie rang up 96 points to break the scoring record set at West Virginia. Grove City could only score 49 points against the Tartan team. This was Tech's fifth consecutive victory. CARNEGIE 40 DUQUESNE 86 It was all Duquesne as the number two team of the country easily clobbered the Skibo team 86-40. CARNEGIE 85 SLIPPERY ROCK 69 Tech scored their eighth triumph in 16 games as they downed the Slippery Rock Teachers 85-69. CARNEGIE 100 ST. VINCENT 70 For the third time during the season, the Tech scoring record was broken. Against St. Vincent a mark of 100 points was reached as thev easily won the game. CARNEGIE 64 WASH. JEFF. 51 In an overtime battle, the Tartans defeated W. J. in the return game, 64-51. CARNEGIE 71 YOUNGSTOWN 53 Dick Fieler Bill Dosey and Jim Boyd with 16 points apiece led the Tech quintet to an easy 71-53 victory. CARNEGIE 75 PITT 83 Carnegie lost the lead and the ball game in the last four minutes of play as Pitt walked off with an 83-75 victory. CARNEGIE 71 WESTMINSTER 78 In a game in which the lead changed hands seven times and score tied 10 times the Titans again defeated Tech 78-71. CARNEGIE 71 STEUBENVILLE 79 Although I ech outscored their opponents in field goals the Plaid bowed to Steubenville, 79-71. CARNEGIE 55 INDIANA S.T.C. 71 In the last game of the season the Tartans lost the chance for a .500 season as they were downed 71-55 by Indiana. Eddie Miller Alan Frank Freshman Basketball Although the fresh basketball team receives very little recognition or praise, these boys spend many hours in practice. Under the able coaching of Mike Theodore, a former Tech hoopster star, the freshmen basketbal team turned in a fair season this year. The frosh team will someday be the varsity squad. Freshmen games arc played as a preliminary to the varsity games. The competition ranges from other frosh outfits to independent teams and strong high school teams of equal strength. The job of assembling a co-ordinated team is a difficult job for Coach Theodore because players from different high schools who each play a different style of ball make up the team. The coach has only a few short weeks to teach the boys the Tech style of ball and to turn out a winning team. Stars on the freshmen team turned out to be Dan bleep, a 6’2 Pittsburgher along with 6’4” Ken Lang and Joe Visconti. I leep was the leading scorer of the team and broke the individual scoring record against the Pitt freshmen. These boys are expected to bolster the varsity squad next year. The freshmen team had the toughest competition when they met the Duquesne freshmen and the Pitt freshmen twice. Row 1: I'. I larder, R. Yarhouse, D. Clement, R. Wainwright, C. Lillirosc, K. Lang, I). Hecp Row 2: M. Theodore, Coach, J. Visconti, G. Johnston, R. Kastl, R. Swancy, R. Flock Swimming Coach Claude Sofield’s swimming team ended the season winning three meets, losing seven and placing fifth in the Penn-Ohio Relays. Although the record shows only three wins, many of the meets ended very close and were decided by the 400 yard freestyle relay. The graduation of many of last year's stars found this year's team full of new faces. These boys worked hard and the experience that was gained this season should show up in more wins next year. The bright spot of the season was the medley relay team going undefeated in all ten dual meets. In the first meet of the season the Tech Mermen lost 37-47 to a Slippery Rock team that was really looking for revenge as they had been downed easily by Tech for three previous seasons. Against Allegheny the meet was a nip and tuck affair with the final event deciding the meet. Tech lost 43-40. The Mermen finally broke into the win column against Kent State as they finished five points ahead with a 44-39 victory. Tech kept in its winning ways the next meet as they defeated Fcnn 51-32. In a hcartbreaker, the Tech team lost by one point 41-42 to Westminster. The swimmers lost to Obcrlin before taking a surprising 45-39 victory from West Virginia. The Tech team dropped the last three meets of the season to Case, Washington and Jefferson and Grove Jiffy Drew, the team captain and Rod MacDonald, a back-stroke artist, will be lost by graduation.

To reach the finals ATO defeated Phi Kappa 53-32 in the quarter-final and last year’s champs, the Rockets, 49-44 in the semifinals. Kappa Sigma reached the finals by defeating Delta Upsilon 59-44 in the quarters and the Tech Gems in the semi-finals 41-25. In league play, the Delta Upsilon quintet was taken into overtime before they downed the Phi Kaps to gain the Plaid League championship. Phi Kappa emerged in second place. In the Tartan League it took a play-off game to decide the champion. Alpha Tau Omega defeated Kappa Sigma in the last game of the regular season to cause a tie. In the play-off, Alpha Tau Omega again defeated Kappa Sigma to gain the league championship with Kappa Sigma second. In the Skibo League, after losing to the Rockets by 16 points the Beta's discovered that an ineligible player was used and so they protested. Winning the forfeit victory gave the Betas the league crown with the Rockets coming in second. It was the I ech Grads taking the championship in the Kiltie League. In second place were the Tech Gems. All-Star Basketball Team How I: M. Pascarclla, W. Hyarns How 2: J. Kane, j. Miller. Missing: K. Karlick Director of Athletics Mel Cratsley serves in the dual position of Varsity Basketball coach and Director of Athletics. He is a former athletic star at Carnegie. From 1936 to 1939 he was court star under Max Hannum, teaming with Bod Stark to bring home the Eastern Collegiate basketball championships against such formidable opponents as Temple, Georgetown, Duquesne, Penn State, West Virginia and Pitt. In the fall of 193S, he was a stand-out end on Bill Kern’s great football squads. Mel was also a member of the famed Carnegie Sugar Bowl team of 1938. After serving as assistant basketball coach at Carnegie in 1947-1948 seasons, he became head coach at the beginning of the fall semester of 1949. When Buddy Overend retired as the Director af Athletics, Mel Cratsley was appointed to that position on July 1, 1952 in addition to his coaching duties. Cratley is a native of Clenwillard, Pa. and he graduated from Findley High School, Imperial, in 1935. In 1940, he received a bachelor of science degree in Mechanical Engineering. Before coming to Carnegie Tech, Mel served with the 11. S. Navy as a Lieutenant and worked for Carncgic-Illinois Steel Corporation. Intramural Heads Raq Haqnes, David See, Earl Birdq F. M. Cratsleq Since the time Carnegie Tech dc-emphasized the varsity athletic program there has been much effort to develop a strong intramural program. The intramural program permits any person who is interested the opportunity to take part in athletics. Approximately 50% of the male enrollment participates in the intramural sports. Bay Haynes is the past Supervisor of Intramural Athletics and at the present time holds the position of Assistant I lead of the Physical Education Dept. In the fall of 1954, Mr. I laynes will become I lead of the Physical Education Department. Bay is a graduate of Slippery Bock College. Mr. David See returned to Tech this fall after serving several years with the U. S. Navy as a Lieutenant. I le resumed the position he formerly held, that of Supervisor of Intramural Sports. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Sec the intramural program has been very successful. Mr. Earl Birdy came to Tech in the fall of 1952 as an instructor in physical education. Birdy developed and coached the championship extramural volleyball team for the past three years. Birdy is also a Slippery Bock graduate. Intramural Program MANAGER’S CLUB Row I: R. Anjard, E.

See The Intramural Managers’ Club is composed of a representative from each organization or team participating in the program of intramural athletics. Each organization's manager represents his organization's interests in formation of plans and policies. The Intramural Managers’Club cooperates closely with the Intramural Board to assure smtxgh operation of the Intramural Program. The Intramural Board is the student governing body of the intramural program. Membership consists of thirteen members, six of which are chosen by the Council of Fraternity Presidents, three by the Dormitory Council, three are chosen at large, and one member from the Managers' Club. The board works out all rules, regulations, and any changes necessary: decides on protests, and when necessary, on forfeits. The board cooperates with the Supervisor of Intramural Athletics in working out plans for additional sports activities. Intramural Night — Basketball Final Winter Intramurals Resume Among the minor sports, the first to get underway with the beginning of school was the Tennis tourney. Twenty-seven fellows entered the tourney. Clark Garrecht copped first place in the competition with Jack Laskey second as he lost to Garrecht in the championship match. Badminton followed tennis in the schedule of events. Jack Rugheimcr walked off with the championship as he defeated Noel Gillette in the finals. These two had to get through a field of 29 entrants to reach the finals. It was Beta Theta Pi who wrestled their way to the championship in wrestling. The Independents ended up second among the four teams entered. In table tennis, it was Jim Miller taking the campus championship in singles as he defeated Keith Kclsay in the final match. In doubles it was Munsell and Smith taking the championship from the second place pair of Kclsay and Rugheimcr. In the team competition it was the Graduate Chemists winning with Alpha Tau Omega second. Phi Kappa squeezed past Tau Delta Phi to take the bowling crown. Tau Delta Phi took the championship in the Strikes League and Phi Kappa won out in the Spares League. Marchlenski of Phi Kappa held the highest average of all intramural bowlers with 168.2. Rifle competition found 10 teams entered. The Obelisks came out on top with Sigma Nu the runner-up. Water polo seemed to drag through the whole year, but the finals were eventually played. In the finals, the Beta Sigma Rho quartet drowned the runner-up Alpha Tau Omega team to take the championship. With a splash the intramural swimming meet got underway. This year there was lots of enthusiasm as nine teams were entered. Pi Kappa Alpha proved to be the top entrant as they walked off with the swimming title. In second place there was a tic between Beta Sigma Rho and Delta Tau Delta. Phi Kappa defeated Sigma Alpha Epsilon for the handball championship. Six teams were entered and 24 participated. The 1953-54 Rifle Team, coached by Captain Babaz, participated in numerous postal and shoulder to shoulder matches. The team is a member of the National Rifle Association and the Greater Pittsburgh League which consists of the University of Pittsburgh, Duqucsnc University, University of West Virginia, Washington and Jefferson, and Carnegie Tech. Matches were held with the members of the Greater Pittsburgh League and Tech won two and lost eight against these teams. Carnegie Tech entered the William Randolph Hcarst matches with two teams. These teams placed 38th and 39th in a field of 83 entrants. Tech also entered the 2nd Army intercollegiate matches and placed 19th of 44 participating teams. Tech also entered S.A.M.E. matches, the recognized NRA matches at Columbus, Ohio and was selected as one of 21 teams to represent the 2nd Army in the National Intercollegiate Rifles matches. Next year, in order to stimulate more interest and develop a better rifle team, each R.O.T.C. company will have a five man team for inter company competition and the best man from these teams will be selected for the school team.

And Winter Came With a flurry of excitement, rather than snow, winter came to the campus. The Cameron Choir sang at the beautiful and inspiring Christmas Chapel, and a huge, gaily decorated tree brightened Skibo and the lounge of Morewood Gardens. Many farewell Christmas parties sent everyone off for the holidays in a festive mood, only to return in two weeks to face the sad facts that finals were upon them. The new semester began with lots of parties and many resolutions to study this time.” With the first big snowfall, however, the last was forgotten, and everyone, faculty and students alike, could be seen dodging snowballs on the cut and trying to get around the blockades of ice and snow carefully erected in front of the dorms and on the campus by some enterprising students. Others used Skibo trays for sled riding. All too soon the snow melted, and winter was gone for another year. All The Kings Men” The Department of Drama offers a four year course in both the theory and practice of acting, playwriting, stage direction, technical direction, and stage and costume design.” Its purpose is to enable theatre aspirants to become well versed in all phases— historical, literary, and practical—of their dramatic art. Throughout the four year training period each student is given opportunities, in the class room and in production and performance, to explore all the fields of the theatre. The most significant result of this theatre work is exemplified in the six major plays which the Carnegie Theatre produces each year. For in these productions the students and faculty — using their crafts of acting, designing, direction, writing, and construction — create unified and effective performances. The season 1953-1954 has been an especially stimulating one. The Department has produced a fine and varied program of plays: “Man and Superman by George Bernard Shaw, “The Tempest” by William Shakespeare, “All the King's Men” by Robert Penn Warren,-“The Sea Gull” by Anton Chekhov, “The Plough and the Stars by Saen O’Casey, and an original play, “The Wing and the Root,” written by a member of the Playwriting class. Merc is surely a wide range of theatre experience. This scope is exemplary of the work and aims of the Drama Department: to cultivate a thorough knowledge and practice of drama, and thus an enriched theatre. “The Seagull Council of Fraternity Presidents Row 1: R.

Saro, Mr. David The Council of Fraternity Presidents serves as the governing body for the fraternities, and has as its purposes the co-ordination of fraternity activities, the settlement of interfraternity problems, and the sponsoring of interfraternity activities. Working in this capacity, CFP maintains a high level of co-operation and good will among the fraternities. Besides working individually on projects, the fraternities collaborate to help themselves and the community. This year C.F.P.’s largest project was to sponsor Greek Week, which is “hell week converted into help week.” Actual work consisted of painting walls, making toys, and supplying the handy-work for Western Pcnna. School for the Blind, Soho Community I louse, and Western Psychiatric I lospital. The fraternities also operated a carnival, sponsored by the Bovs’ Club Women Auxiliary, for the Shadyside Boys’ Club. The proceeds went to repair and refurnish the Club's headquarters. Tech’s first I lelp Week was a great success and it was a tired — but happy — crowd that attended the annual CFP formal that weekend. Flic Court of Justice and the Pledge Council are subsidiaries of CFP; the former acts as a disciplinary body and the latter serves to bring the pledges of the fraternities closer together.

Drama Helen Shifrin, Music Robert Bowden, Painting Design Professor Roger Anliker Committees: Decorations Robert Bowden and Paul McGowan Publicity Sandra Swaile Memberships Larry Merscl Program Anne St. John and Richard Dimon Social Jeanne Allen The purpose of the Beaux Arts Society is to promote fellowship, cooperation, and a spirit of unity among the Fine Arts students at Carnegie Institute of Technology. This year the society has expanded its objectives to three nights of activity in the form of an Arts Festival which proved rewarding as well as exciting to the members of the society. In order to include an allied art not represented in the School of Fine Arts, the first night's entertainment was staged by Jean Leon Destine and his company of Hatian Dancers. The next evening, Arts Nite, offered the students the opportunity to display original work done outside the classroom and to sec what is being done in other departments in relation to their own. The decorations of the exhibition of painting, architectural design and three-dimensional work was brilliantly designed and executed by Paul McGowan and Robert Bowden. The Young May Cry, an original play, by Sidney Furie was presented along with a Fugue for Woodwinds’’ by Joe Negri. Then the exhibition was converted to a world of Fantasy to house the costumes for the event of the last night. Bal Bleu, a wonderful ending to the festival. The Arts Festival was a great success due to the concentrated efforts of John Burrey, President, and the constant aid of the officers and committee heads as well as many of the arts students in accomplishing the responsibilities of the society. In the future, Beaux Arts, with the possibilities of a booth at Spring Carnival, hopes to continue its successful program which will be carried on by its incoming officers this spring.

Herre Scottie Hadjis Sally Mair Jean Ward Diane Farrington WAA offers a varied program of activities. Varsity sports, highlighted by intercollegiate competition, offers a challenge to many girls. The peak of Tech's hockey season was attained when Betty Heltslcy was named to a Tri state Collegiate All-Star Field Hockey team. Intramural competition gives both individuals and teams a chance to shine for their organizations. Virginia Schultz copped the tennis cup, the I) G’s and the Thetas were tops in volleyball, and the Faculty Bulldogs won their second consecutive basketball crown. Activities of all school interest were the Tarquans water show, Two Tickets Around the World, and the debut of co-recrcational volleyball on Tech's campus. The Freshman Picnic, held in Schenlcy Oval during Orientation Week, was co-sponsored by the WAA and the YMCA. Softball, football, square dancing, Tech songs and cheers entertained the Frosh. Through these activities the WAA has carried out its dual purpose; to encourage interest in athletic activities, and to promote good sportsmanship, fellowship, and cooperation. Square Dance Club The Square Dance Club, a co-etl group sponsored by the WAA, is organized for the purpose of promoting square and folk dancing on Tech’s campus. Its members, interested in learning new dances, practising familiar ones, and learning to call dances, meet on two Friday evenings a month to enjoy dancing and refreshments. At intervals throughout the year dancing sessions are held for non-members. This allows not only other Tech students but also students from other colleges to learn and enjoy square dancing. The entire year was climaxed by the Square Dance Festival on March 5 and 6. Tech's club, as the host, worked diligently to give the quests from many colleges an enjoyable time. Nationally known Rickey I loldcn gave lessons in dance calling and presided over dance sessions. Through the activities of this club, square dancing is fast becoming an enjoyable activity here at lech. Tarquans With a Splash the graceful Tarquans, our water ballerinas, started another year's activities. Fall training included the preparation of new members for the Big Show in the Spring. It took a while to get the kinks out of the muscles but by December the pool was ringing with “Point your toes, Smile”, Change the record , and more often, 'T urn up the volume”, or just plain The water’s cold. Second semester opened . . . the mermaids really dived in and concentrated on getting the show under way. Numbers were organized, advertising planned, and the scenery built. The opening night this year found a room filled with anxious people ready to be presented with their 'Two Tickets Bound the World.” During the couse of the evening the audience was taken from the wild alluring New York clubs, to the colorful French Caberet, and then on to mysterious Egypt. The grand finale closed the club’s activities for the year. The girls were well rewarded for their hours of work by the applause after two successful presentations of the show and the fun of just being one of the TARQUANS. Row 1: B. Janson, J. Jamack, D.

Fisk, instructor King of Hearts Hearts and faces, that’s what Tech girls saw for a week before they finally cast the ballots that elected their King of I Icarts. They were swayed by photographs of fourteen candidates and witty sayings cleverly placed around campus. The Skibo skit gave the girls a chance to see the candidates personally in Carnegie Tech’s first Men’s Bathrobe Fashion Show. The fine array of colors, styles, and scarfs . . . not to mention the various brands of cigars . . . all served to make their personal appearance hilarious. Saturday night found many at the informal dance held in the (but you’d never guess it because of all the hearts, balloons, and the flats with colorful figures painted on them) gym. The music of Brad Hunt tickled their rhythm bones . . . result . . . plenty of jazz, fox trot, waltz, Bunny Hop, and the ever popular Mexican Hat dance. The evening was climaxed with the coronation of Jack Seas, 1954 King of I leans, who reigned over his feminine domain with the aid of his court, Phil Jeske and Jiffy Drew. Greek Sing .. First Place - Kappa Kappa Gamma Second Place - Delta Gamma First Place - Phi Kappa and Swing After many long weeks of careful practising and tuning, each fraternity and sorority burst forth with song at the annual Greek Sing and Swing competition held at the Carnegie Music Hall. Each group sang two selections and were judged by three music directors. It was anybody’s guess who came out on top and an anxious crowd went home to await the next evening when the judges’ decision would be announced at the dance. Sponsored by CEP and Panhellenic Council, the annual Greek Swing dance was held on Saturday at the Syria Mosque. The hall, decorated by pledges, was done in blue and white with fraternity and sorority crests on the walls. Students danced to the music of Benny Benack and his orchestra until zero hour arrived at eleven o’clock. Before the awards were given, Paul Conrad, who plays the piano for Benny Bcnack, did a clever take off on Libcracc. Then the fanfare started. First Beta Sigma Rho was awarded permanent possession of the scholarship cup for the fraternity with the highest scholarship for three consecutive years. Then the awards for the Greek Sing competition were given. Kappa Kappa Gamma won first place for the third consecutive year among the sororities with their renditions of “Lady Green Sleeves' and Rain Drops.” Phi Kappa was first among the fraternities singing Danny Boy” and Boston Harbor.” The Delta Gamma’s and the Tri Delts placed second and third respectively in the women's competition while Alpha Tau Omega and Beta Theta Pi took the men’s trophies. After the two first place winners sang one of their selections, the students hurried off to christen the cups with champagne ... no less. Track Carnegie Tech ended another track season successfully as the cindermen, under the coaching of Bob Carman, won their twenty-fourth consecutive dual meet over collegiate competition. In a triangular meet against Slippery Hock and Geneva, the Tech trackmen placed second behind Slippery Rock. However, if the meet would have been scored as a dual meet, the Tartans would have downed the winners by a 70-61 score. Tech also finished second behind Slippery Hock in the Tri-State meet. Seventeen members of the squad were awarded the varsity C . The outlook for next year is bright since most of the lettermcn will be returning. In the first meet of the year the thinclads accomplished two things. By running Case into the ground, 82 2 3 to 45 1 3, the Tartans made freshman coach Carman’s debut a success and extended the consecutive wins to twenty-two. Coach Carman certainly did a fine job of taking over where Guy Halferty left off. The prospect for fine track teams in the future seems very good. Coach Bob Carman Row 1: J. Santacrosc (mgr.), A.

The tennis team started the season carrying an eighteen match winning streak extending over four seasons. The winning streak was stopped at twenty-one straight by a Penn State team that was out of Tech’s class. This was the only defeat of the season against such strong opposition as Duqucsne, Penn State, Pitt, West Virginia and others. In the first match of the season, Duqucsne bowed to the Teehites by a score of 7-2. The Plaids took four of the six singles and all three of the doubles. Bethany proved to be no match for our boys as they copped all nine matches to win 9-0. It was just about the same story when the Scots met W J and won 8 to 1. Westminster was easy pickings as the netmen romped to a shutout 9 0 victor)'. West Virginia put up a little competition as the Mountaineer outfit managed to take three of the nine matches but Tech won 6-3. Grove City was the victim of the Tartans third shutout as they lost 9-0 to the Plaids. Geneva and Pitt were also easy victims of the nctmen’s assault. The boom was really lowered on the high-flying Tartans when they met Penn State. The winning streak of 21 straight was broken as the Tartans went down to defeat, 9 0. The Plaid netters came through to win the city college championship for the third straight year by blanking Pitt 9-0. Earlier in the year the same treatment had been handed to Duqucsne so that there was no doubt as to who the city champion was. Three members of the team will be lost by graduation. They arc: Mahlon Saibcl, Don Duncklcc, and Clark Garrecht. The others, including number one man, Jim Miller, will be back next year to form a fine nucleus for a strong tennis team next year. Row 1: Coach F. Moses, D. Dunckles, D. Tsciang, S. Rowley. Row 2: J. Miller, M. Saibel, J. Rughcimcr, C. Garrecht. Golf Coach William Rogers Fore!! This is a familiar cry of the linksters of Carnegie Tech’s golf team. William Rogers, who is also our registrar, coaches the golf team. This year, the lack of experience hindered the team as they dropped six decisions while winning only two. The loss of last year’s stars by graduation made a big hole in the team. However, freshmen players have done very well in filling in. Tom Schorr, a freshman, helped the team greatly and should do very well in the next three years. The season got off to an excellent start as Washington and Jefferson was defeated 4-2 at the Alcoma course. Ed Cipro and Tom Schorr finished with the lowest scores of 77. Geneva also fell to the Tartans by a score of 13V4-4V4. However, this was the end of the winning ways for Tech and the rest of the season proved to be a losing one. Matches were lost to Grove City twice, Washington, Pitt, Duquesne and Westminster. In the Tri-State meet the Tech linksters grabbed the third place honors.

In the tourney for second place, a team was eligible as soon as it lost in the first place bracket. Alpha Tau Omega took second place honors as they defeated Delta Upsilon 3-0 in the final game.

Enough teams were entered to have four leagues with seven teams in each league. Kappa Sigma came out of the play-offs on top as they defeated Sigma Alpha Epsilon in the championship game by a big score. Walt Selavako held the opponents to one hit in the final game. In the Plaid League, there were three teams battling for the championship. Alpha Tau Omega took the top honors, ending the schedule with a 5-1 record. The Eagles and Phi Kaps ended in a tic for second place but in a play-off game the Eagles defeated Phi Kappa to take second place honors with a 5-2 record. In the Tartan League the Sigma Nu team outclassed all competition and took the championship with a 6-0 record. Kappa Sigma, although they took the school championship, ended up second in the Tartan League with a 5-1 record. In the Skibo League it was ASCE who grabbed the championship from the hands of Delta Upsilon, who came in second. In the Kiltie League the Obelisks won all of their games to take the championship and Sigma Alpha Epsilon ended up in second place.

This seemed to be the case in the intramural schedule also. Finally all of the scheduled events were completed and the intramural program ended another successful year. In foul shooting, which is held at the end of March, there were 73 participants. In the team competition Delta Upsilon took the trophy as they sank 351 of 500 shots. Pi Kappa Alpha was second with 342 of 500 shots. In individual competition, it was Dale Kirkbridc shooting a remarkable 82 of 100 to take the championship and Ron Karlic was second with 80 of 100. A new feature of the intramural program was the track meet. This proved very exciting as the Alpha Tau Omega entrants squeezed by the Kappa Sigma outfit by one point. In straight call pool it was the Obelisks who pocketed the championship as they beat out the Sigma Nu’s. Sixteen teams were entered in this competition. In the bridge competition there were 9 teams entered. The Graduate Chemists turned in the best record and thus the championship. Pi Kappa Alpha came in second in the bridge competition. Last event of the season was horseshoes which was finished the day before finals began. Sigma Alpha Epsilon captured the crown as they defeated Phi Kappa in the finals. From Here to Infinitq 0 ' 4 Scotch ’r Soda Chairman Music Directors Business Manager Press Agent Campus Publicity Design Director Robert Levin Bob Bernat, Paul Conrad Richard Christensen Ron Friedman John Schonder Anne St. John Carrq Clasz, Carolqn Jenkins, Bob Levin Scotch and Soda has done it again! This years production, ONE IN A MILLION proved to be the best show since the club was first organized twelve years ago. This year Scotch and Soda made another improvement when they purchased an entirely new and modern sound system. The play centered around Ed Walsh as Frankie Jordan, a Western Union boy, who quite innocently and unexpectedly became a star in a musical production. Joyce Womack did an excellent job as the girl in love with Frankie, and Jeanne Allen, the hard boiled Gail Vivien, was her usual sparkling self. Others in the cast did equally well, and it was hard to distinguish the singing, etc. from any professional performance. No one will ever forget the Las Vagas Ballet or the Tops in Fashion number. For the first time the play ran for four days and each night was a complete sellout. This year’s production has proved that Scotch and Soda’s aim “to produce a bigger and better show each year’’ has finally been reached and will continue to do so each succeeding year. Seated: Teena Stern, Barb Hall Standing: Arnie Brockman, Carry Clasz, Bob Levin, Carolyn Jenkins, Ron Friedman Spring Carnival Queen Campaigns The week before Spring Carnival Tech students could hardly recognize the campus for all the posters, banners, and pictures. Yes, Carnival Queen campaigning was definitely under way. The competitions between the seven sororities was unusually keen this year, making this campaign week the best that Tech has ever seen. Certainly we will never forget the Dec Gee’s clever typewriter theme or the Theta’s Chinese New Year. The other campaigns, equally spectacular, included Kittens, Venus, Turkish Delights, Scottish Highlanders, and Rhythm. After the male population at Tech had been pampered by Skibo skits, serenades, and gifts of pretzels, cookies, the fellows voted on the Friday before Spring Carnival. There was much breathless waiting and anticipation until the victorious candidates were announced. - Certainly all of the sororities’ candidates were worthy of nomination, but only a few could be chosen.

Garrecht, L. Miller, J. Laynor, S. Clark, J. McNauKhtcr, J. Bcrsci, R. Dill, W. Prey, A. DeVido “Is the float parade really worth the time and money expended”? Would a name band” be worth the extra expense when the ticket sale is limited by the size of the gym? “Mow can we make this carnival have more campus-wide interest'’? This is the type of thinking that preceded “From Here to Infinity.” Starting immediately after Homecoming the Carnival Committee began to lay its plans, and an egg or two. Its decisions came after careful consideration; the value of its judgment is now history. The weekend was tremendous! But to present this weekend was not easy. The theme was changed twice—from A Carnegie Yankee in King David’s Court involving medieval plank jousting and faculty kite flying — to a futuristic theme that would center around a discontinuous compression column and a geodesic sphere. The column, after four attempts, became compressible and the disenchanted column flopped, leaving the sphere on a air hook. But Jiffy Drew saved the day with his egg from Mars, and although it was whisked away to the Golden Triangle before it had a chance to hatch, it provided the desired, but unexpected publicity. With the weather man bribed, the name band signed and sealed, the girls appeased, and the sea of mud carefully concocted, the weekend began and the Carnival Committee held its breath. Buggg Races This year the ATO’s really made history when they again set a new sweepstakes record, at 2:28.1. In the preliminary heat the first ATO buggy set a new course record of 2:30.4, and the Deits and PiKA's finished second and third respectively. The finals on Saturday morning were even more exciting. The ATO’s broke their previous record made on Friday, PiKA came in second, and the Delt’s captured third place. Some of the designs were extremely unusual this year. The buggies were judged on Friday morning before the race. In order to be eligible for a trophy a buggy had to finish in the upper half of the timed trials. PiKA's. new laminated wood buggy took first place, and ATO’s Green Flash took second. Call Daif On Friday afternoon the sun shone brightly on Pittsburgh and a large crowd gathered on Flagstaff Hill for Call Day Exercises. In previous years the ceremonies had been held on Fine Arts lawn, but because of the need for more space, Flagstaff Hill was selected as the new site. The Kiltie Band played a selection which was then followed by a welcome to the Coronation. Calls to all the various honoraries were then made, Cameron Choir entertained with songs, and the Carnival Queen was crowned. The new queen then officially opened the 1954 Spring Carnival. This year's announcement of the queen was somewhat different from last year’s. The girls named to the court were not told who was queen beforehand, as done in previous years, but instead, Dr. Warner announced the queen's name after the winning candidates were seated on stage. Last year’s queen, Mary Lou Rocks and Dr. Warner then crowned the new queen Marilyn Franklin, who truly made a beautiful queen. Her court included Margie Ruttle, Marilyn Porter, Maggie Gallien, Carol Agnew, and Gave Damich. Standing: Cave Damich, Marilyn Porter, Carol Agnew, Dr. Warner, Maggie Gallicn, Margie Ruttlc Seated: Queen Marilyn Franklin Parade In addition to the other competitions, a costume parade was initiated into the 1954 Carnival plans. The costume parade was to take the place of the regular float parade. Since the theme of Carnival was FROM HERE TO INFINITY, many strange sights were seen. PiKA’s revolving planet came through as the winner among the fraternities, and the Kappa’s, representing the futuristic rebirth of historical personages, received first prize among the sororities. The PiKA’s silver coated Carnegie Planet revolved between a choice selection of outer space characters. From robot men to cave men, dragons to multi-legged monsters, entries showed a varied and colorful collection of futuristic ideas. Even the Pitt Cathedral was represented . . . blown up! The parade was climaxed by the Kiltie Band followed by the Carnival Queen and her court. All in all, the new parade seemed to be very entertaining and is worth the consideration of next year’s carnival committee. The Midw aif On Thursday afternoon the Cut once again became fair grounds for the carnival, and booths and amusements were set up. Instead of the usual mud hole, this year’s carnival ground was only a dust bowl — a big improvement! The weather was perfect and IT DIDN'T RAIN (Pitt got it the week before)! And did we have fun on the midway!! The now immortal Beta booth, “Duck a Beta” proved to be as popular as ever. The Delts had a wheel of fortune, and one could release his pent-up frustrations at the Dll booth, or shoot ping-pong balls out of a gun at the Kappa Sig booth. The ATO’s offered American shuffle board while the AEPhi’s gave cute prizes for winning at Roolo Ball. Some of the other sorority booths included “Kap-a Gam,” Scot Shot, and Faculty Faces.” In the fraternity section we couldn’t forget “Tomato Tornado or O’Leary's.” Oh, yes, we got to Slap the Map of a Phi Kap, another annual, only this year the chartreuse pie was really gory. The Canterbury Clubs miniature golf course was as popular as ever agaih and the SAE’s Skibol was great fun. To top it all, goldfish were given as prizes in the Beta Sigma Rho booth. During the day couples could be seen with all sorts of strange prizes, such as buttons, hats, balloons, and stuffed animals. The booths closed on Saturday night, but the memories of “the cut” won’t easily be forgotten. Tea and Cricket Wicket, wicket, who has the wicket. Wc can't play cricket without the wicket! The annual cricket match between the two English Drama teams was about to begin. With the preliminary knighting of outstanding players accomplished, the game began. But who won is still a mystery, for only the teams know how to keep score for English Cricket. But then it happened! The old cripple who had been constantly falling out of his wheelchair poured his two-thirty tea-time tea down the neck of one of the players, grabbed an unsuspecting damsel, threw her over his shoulders, and ran off the Fine Arts Playing Field with both teams chasing this seducing cripple and his unfortunate victim. This briefly delayed the game . . . until next year. Since the float parade was eliminated this year, several new competitions were added to make this Carnival different from any in the past. For fraternity competition, Plank Jousting was introduced. The only equipment necessary was a good “upstanding medulla’’ (for balance). After many tries, the seven-man Phi Kappa team out balanced all challengers in a series of muddy pillow battles on a four-inch wide plank which was suspended over a sea of mud. What started out as an organized competition, turned into a free-for-all when the referees, Kevin Friedrick and Dick Durstinc, were thrown into the mud-pit as a reward for their efforts. Students fortunate enough to have swimming trunks fared fairly well. The others probably supported the cleaner’s fund for the next few weeks. After it was over, everyone agreed that “into each life some mud must fall” and for once the mudhole didn’t come as a result of rain. Plank Jousting Faculty Egg-Throu Roller Derbg On Friday afternoon thirteen faculty teams entered the egg throwing contest in front of Fine Arts. Some cautious contestants came prepared with raincoats, but jeers from the crowd forced Dean David to discard it. Result — a polka-dot suit! The winning team was the Psychology Department with Champions Prof. Gregg and Daily. Runners-up were Physical Education, Chemistry, Public Relations, and Physics. Special mention to the historians — they hatched a baby chick from their egg. People began to wonder about the Maggie Murfs when the Tech coeds started skating to class on roller skates. The reason became apparent when the sororities held their first roller derby Saturday. With rotten eggs and Skibo spoons, the Kappa Alpha Theta’s came in first as a twenty-five yard winner. Kappa Kappa Gamma and Delta Gamma came in second and third respectively. I Street Dance Gay lights strung across the street in front of Engineering Hall added to the festivities of the street dance on Friday night. Music from the Midway drifted over to the dancing couples and there seemed to be a general drifting of people back and forth between the dance and the carnival grounds. Benny Bcnack and his orchestra were terrific as usual. The night was beautiful and a large crowd attended, making this first street dance in several years very successful. The orchestra played everything from smooth dance music to Charlestons and the bunny hop. Everyone went home to soak their feet, tired but happy. Spring Carnival Formal Au ards Saturday’s dance featured Lionel Hampton’s Orchestra and drew a huge crowd. The gym was decorated in the futuristic carnival theme and the atmosphere was perfect for the music. The music was soft and low and dreamy for dancing interspersed with an occasional hot” number. At 11 p.m. the awards were presented to the various winners. Phil Drew was given a Martian bird for being the best egg builder. After the awards were presented, the orchestra broke into a hot jam session which litterally “rocked the gym. It was amazing to see how many people stayed instead of the usual rush for the doors after 11 o'clock. The dance ended somewhere in the wee hours and carnival ended, as it had begun, with a bang! IMW -v First a few preliminaries With the last days of exams over and that special O.K. from the Registrar's Office, the seniors, equipped with caps, gowns, and tassels, trotted off to Carnegie Music Hall for Baccalaureate service on Friday night. Much to everyone’s surprise, it was short and to the point . . . the Carnegie Plan in a capsule. However, everyone got a taste of what the temperature under the robes would be like on Saturday. The Senior Ball took place immediately after the last strains of the recessional faded. In the foyer of the Music Hall, both seniors and parents danced to the music of Jack Purcell. Even Andy Carnegie was there smiling approvingly from his copper chair. The dance ended at one o'clock and then some students left to attend parties while others went home to rest up for the big day to follow. Commencement Day started with the ROTC Second Louies receiving their long awaited award for good and faithful service. With little time to spare, they all dashed down to Syria Mosque to join the other grads. The air-conditioned robing room fooled everyone. After sitting in the sweltering Mosque, Tech graduates were able to say that they had really sweat for their diplomas. The solemnity of the ceremony was broken when a Joe McCarthy received his parchment. After all of the degrees were bestowed, Mr. Steinberg, director of the Pittsburgh Symphony,, and Mr. Wilson, Secretary of Defense, received honorary degrees in Music and Engineering, respectively. With tassels changed from right to left and clutching their diplomas, the graduates proudly left the Mosque to attend the Dean’s Reception at the Carnegie Union.

Aye laddie, you can’t park ’ere One to a customer Two tens and a five? A Girl, A Girl Like Rudy Valley of of the 1930's and Frank Sinatra of the 1940’s, Eddie Fisher is the current bobby sox idol all over the country. This young singer has turned out hit records one after the other. Probably his biggest two records have been “Any Time” and Oh My Papa”. This year the Thistle staff took great pleasure in having this talented young man choose our queen for the 1954 Thistle. The photographs of twenty-two beautiful Tech girls were submitted to Eddie from which he was to choose a queen and three attendants. After much consideration, he chose Miss Beth McNeil as the 1954 Thistle Queen, Beth is a senior secretarial major from Pittsburgh and represents Kappa Kappa Gamma. The three attendants were: Margie Ruttle, senior general studies major from Melrose Park, Pennsylvania, Kappa Alpha Theta; Nancy Scnard, senior home economics major from DuBois, Pennsylvania, Sigma Kappa; and Jean Treharnc, senior heme economics major from Pittsburgh, Delta Delta Delta. On the following pages, along with many other Tech beauties which the student vote elected during the past year, there appears the pictures of these four beauties which Eddie Fisher chose. And last but not least is Tech’s King of Hearts for 1954, chosen by the Tech feminine population. To the Thistle Queen and her court and the other many Tech dolls” the 1954 Thistle extends their heartiest congratulations and good wishes.

Just what is it? To quote President Warner it is an emphasis on fundamental principles ... to prepare students to assimilate facts and methods ... it provides a liberal as well as professional education for students.’’ These basic principles can then always be used to arrive at logical solutions to new and challenging problems. Beginning as a chemistry instructor, John C. Warner has been associated with Carnegie Tech for twenty-eight years. Since his inauguration as president in 1950, the redevelopment plan to make Tech a greater center of learning has taken a tangible form. His plans for the future include a library building, a new student union and an auditorium. As students, we are thankful for all that Jake has already done and wish him success in the future. His pleasant manner and eagerness to greet every student will always be rememl ered along with the Carnegie Plan. J. C. Warner, President Webster N. Jones Vice-President Elliott Dunlap Smith Provost Glen U. Cleeton Dean, Division of Humanistic and Social Studies Dean, School of Printing Management Director, Evening Classes B. Richard Teare, Jr., Dean College of Engineering and Science Edith Winchester Alexander Dean, Margaret Morrison Carnegie College Wilfred A. Readio Dean, College of Fine Arts Douglas F. Miner, Director Division of Student Personnel and Welfare H. R. Patton Controller Brahna Hutchins, Dean of U omen With the opening of the Fall semester, Tech welcomed its new Dean of Women, Mrs. Brahna I lutchins. Formerly she had been administrative coordinator of the Center for improving group procedures in Teachers College, Columbia University but resigned to come to Tech. Dean Hutchins may be the smallest faculty member but her size is no measure of her energy. I ler primary interest is student personnel administration and she believes that “the individual accepts maturity by growing into it.” Since coming to Tech, she has instilled a new spirit of cooperative leadership among the students. Through her interest in student problems and her willingness to help, Brahna Hutchins has successfully completed her “freshman” year at Tech. Whatever you do, wherever you go on campus, you’ll always run into Ben David. His pleasant smile, salutation — and pipe — is known by every person he meets. Being friendly to students is only one small part of his job as Dean of Men, for all our problems — financial, academic, social, or personal — ultimately pass through his hands. Known as the “Busiest Man on Campus,” he undoubtedly goes to the most banquets — whether as a guest or to deliver a message. I lis excellent coordination of academic and extra-curricular activities on campus has served to make him a very necessary member of Carnegie Tech. Ben E. David, Dean of Men Mortar Board Seated: M.

Dowling President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Historian Editor Gave Damich Rita O'Hara Janet Wilkins Lynn Miller Ann St. John Marilyn Seiner The black suits, the work, the fun, and the many friends gained will certainly be remembered by the Mortar Board members for 1953-54. The first major event of the year under the auspices of Mortar Board with the help of ODK was the Homecoming Weekend. No one will forget the “Roaring Twenties’’ costumes or the “ 53 Skidoo. Pounding the pavements to solicit prizes for the benefit bridge proved very worthwhile when the proceeds started the group on its way, enabling it to award a scholarship to some worthy C. I. T. coed. However, the biggest contribution toward the scholarship resulted from the success of King of Hearts which Mortar Board at last reinstated on Tech's campus. 1 he fourth big event, that of Spring Carnival, which Mortar Board willingly helped ODK to plan and carry through, was rewarding, for once again l ech’s campus had a successful weekend. Throughout the year, the girls had various other projects—orphans” party, aides at teas, tranfer party, and many others. Much honor and appreciation was bestowed upon the group for their fine accomplishments, but there is one regret that each of these girls takes with her as she leaves Tech —she did not get a B. S. degree in Balloon Blowing of which she was certainly deserving. Omicron Delta Kappa Seated: R. Durstinc, R. Danncls, D. Wildman. A. DcVido, J. Laynor, F. Dill Standing: P. Drew, C. Garrecht, J.

Danncls Homecoming Chairman Ellroy Wildhabcr Omicron Delta Kappa is the national leadership honorary society for senior men, founded in 1914 at Washington Lee University. It seeks to recognize men who have attained a high standard of leadership in collegiate activities, to encourage them to continue along this line, and to inspire others to strive for similar outstanding attainment. At Tech the Beta Delta Circle was established in 1942 from a local organization known as the Dragon Society. Each year Omicron Delta Kappa assumes the sponsorship of Spring Carnival, both planning and directing each phase of the event. The men accepted into ODK are well acquainted with campus activities and problems. In addition to being responsible for various campus activities, the members write essays on various phases of campus life, suggesting solutions to any problems they may contain. In conjunction with the writing of essays, ODK plans a complete and summary analysis of Carnegie Tech in 1954-1955. This will be in the nature of a booklet which will be distributed to the student body, the attempt being an analysis toward solving many of the existing social and activities problems confronting the student body. This year ODK also aided and collaborated with Mortar Board on Homecoming. Tau Beta Pi Row 1: W. Hcidcgcr. A. Merritt. R. Christensen, R. D.tnncls, W. Sick, K. Luther, A. Schracder Row 2: W.

The organization recognizes those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character. Regarded as one of the more prominent honor societies, Tau Beta Pi has chapters on 94 campuses and has over 77,000 members. Pennsylvania Gamma was founded at Carnegie Tech in 1916. Tau Beta Pi has continued its tutoring service and presented a series of three lectures on the use of the slide rule. At Carnegie Day an award was made to the Outstanding Member of the Freshman Engineering Class. A lecture on professional registration of engineers was sponsored by the society. Tau Beta Pi also maintains a collection of graduate school catalogues in the library. The group worked with other societies and the administration in the Carnegie open house.” With scholarships as the basic requirement, Tau Beta Pi seeks men of high integrity, breadth of interest, adaptability, and unselfish interest in campus affairs. At the Fall Carnegie Day exercises, nintccn men were called to wear the coveted “bent, the familiar key of Tau Beta Pi. Alpha Phi Omega Alpha Phi Omega, a national service fraternity, assembles college men in the fellowship of the Scout Oath and Law, develops friendship, and promotes service to humanity. It conducts many service projects such as sponsoring “Ugly Man on Campus contest in conjunction with Campus Chest. A Phi 0 also runs a Book Exchange, conducts information and guide services, and publishes the C-Book. In addition to these activities, the society supervises the student elections and operates a coat check and refreshment service at the college dances. This year Kappa chapter at Tech collaborated with the Beta chapter at Pitt and sponsored the first Pittsburgh Regional Conference of Alpha Phi Omega at which the National President, Daniel Den llyl was the featured speaker. Cu ens Cwens, sophomore women’s honorary, helps orient and adjust freshman girls to college life. During Freshman Week Cwens assist girls to move into Morcwood Chardens and help freshmen through the hazards of registration. In cooperation with Scimitars Society, Cwens assist at the President’s reception for freshmen, and also organize and conduct the Traditions tests. During Homecoming, Cwens play a major role by sponsoring the I lomecoming QuCen nominations and I lomecoming would not be complete without the traditional mums which are always sold hy Cwens. This year Cwens gave a Valentine party for the Curtis Home for Girls, and initiated Dean Hutchins and Miss Fisk as Cwens. Delta Skull Delta Skull, the activities honorary for junior men of Carnegie Tech, has a dual purpose. The chief objective of this organization is service to both the school and their classmates. Furnishing football programs for all home games is one of the functions of Delta Skull, as well as planning and accomplishing some worthwhile project each year. Members arc selected on the basis of recognition of leadership in student activities and high scholarship. The organization was founded at Carnegie Tech in 1913 for the purpose of promoting welfare at the school and to closer integrate the junior class. From 1913 to 1926, after juniors were selected, they retained their membership through their senior year. Since 1926, however, the membership lasts only during the junior year. During World War II the chapter went inactive, hut with the help of student council it was reinstated in 1946. Delta Skull is not affiliated with any national honorary organization. Row 1: J.

Gillespie Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, the national honorary musical fraternity, has four specific goals: to advance the cause of music in America; to encourage the mutual welfare and brotherhood of music students; to create true fraternal spirit among its members; and to emphasize loyalty to the Alma Mater. Members in the Alpha Omega chapter at Tech arc selected from the male students in the three upper classes who arc active in music activities. Any student is eligible through participation in extra-curricular activities in music. Activities of the fraternity include social functions, music recitals and lectures. Sigma Alpha lota Sigma Alpha lota, a national professional fraternity for women in the field of music, was founded at the University School of Music, Ann Arbor, Michigan, on June 12, 1903. In the past fifty years it has grown to 101 college chapters and 64 alumnae chapters. Nationally it seeks to further music through the E.A.I. Foundation which provides scholarship aid, and the International Music Fund, established to rehabilitate music centers in war-torn countries. The fraternity's interest in the progress of American music is evidenced in its modern choral scries, its contemporary composition awards, and its being the first such group to commission a new work by an American composer. Locally it sponsors performances, lectures, and music department social functions. Seated: M. Mitchell, C. Slaugh, E. Starr. M. Geier, A. Mick Standing: C. Julian. M. Goldstein, L. Hcrbst, R.

The students chosen for membership are those in the upper fifteen per cent of the averages taken over a period of three years for P. D.’s and four years for architects. The society, however, docs not only serve as a reward for oustanding scholarship, but it also aims to further the understanding between architecture and the allied arts. Tau Sigma Delta sponsors at least one art exhibit and an annual banquet. Eta Kappa Nu Eta Kappa Nu, the national electrical engineering honorary, recognizes those men in college and industry who show outstanding ability in electrical engineering. The organization publishes the departmental periodical, “Large Charge,” and awarded an Eshbach handbook to the Junior E.E. with the highest cumulative factor. It also assisted the department during open house, held two banquets in conjunction with the A.I.E.E., sponsored a student smoker, and maintained a liason committee with the department heads to facilitate good student-department relations. The pledge projects consisted of improvements around the electrical engineering labs. Row 1: J. Laynor, J. McNaugher, C. Eicheldinger, J. Bcrsci, D. Horlick Row 2: E. Davis, W. Moore, R. Eckman, W.

The national mechanical engineering honorary fraternity was established in 1930, and the past year can be ranked high among its many successful ones. The purpose of Pi Tau Sigma is two fold: to foster the high ideals of the engineering profession, and to stimulate the students interest in his community and his profession. Row 1: E. Tarlc, A.

The program of activities of each chapter emphasizes the purpose of Omicron Nu — the recognition and promotion of scholarship, leadership, and research as its part of the world-wide movement in Home Economics. This year the organization helped at the annual Open 1 louse in Margaret Morrision and at a tea for prospective freshmen and their parents at Moreivood Gardens. It sponsored a discussion by faculty members of the I lome Economics Department on the opportunities for graduate work in the field. Omicron Nu also gave an Invitation to Membership Tea” for honor students in home economics. Row 1: M. Eggcrs, S. Hopkins, A. Pollis, E. Keitzer, J. Pickett, B. Gray, A. Geary, J. Wilkins Row 2: K. R.

Its membership is taken from the students who have reached the upper ten per cent in scholarship in each department of each college. The purpose of Phi Kappa Phi also includes the recognition of outstanding character traits in students and their acceptance of the obligations and responsibilities of active citizenship in society, lip to now, the scholastic honorary has not been too active, but plans arc being made to remedy this situation.

The Carnegie chapter strives to provide a spirit of cooperation and understanding among the various publications on campus. To achieve this goal PiDE sponsored a publication get-together at the Sigma Nu house. Members of the various publication staffs and students interested in publications were invited. Claqmore Clan The purpose of Claymore Clan I honorary is to promote social and cultural life in the men's dormitories; to establish and promote a closer union between dormitory residents and the faculty; to provide recognition for outstanding individuals residing in the dormitories; and to promote the general welfare of the dormitories as a unit and in relation to the campus as a whole. As the men's dormitories honor society, this group pledged and initiated fifteen men into the clan during the past year, and assisted at the Fall Dormitory Mixer. The Clan also experimented and made final arrangements for the showing of free movies in Thistle Hall for the dorm residents and acted as Chaiman for the annual Carnegie l ech Tartan Debate Tournament.

Its main function is the training of qualified men in drill to prepare for the annual regimental drill meet which is held at a different school in the regiment each year. Carnegie Tech's Pershing Rifle Company is Company A in the 5th Regiment of Pershing Rifles. It is also the honor company for the R.O.T.C. Regiment at Carnegie Tech. In April 1953 Carnegie Tech was the host for this drill meet, during which twelve other schools were represented in rifle matches, basic drill, basic trick drill, and advanced trick drill. The growth of Pershing Rifles at Carnegie Tech has been constant with an annual increase in membership of at least twenty new members. Scabbard and Blade The purpose of Scabbard and Blade is to unite in closer relationship the military departments of American Colleges and Universities, and to preserve and develop the essential qualities of good and efficient officers. This year the group supplied the honor guard for both I lomecoming and Spring Carnival Queens, and sponsored the Military Ball and the international rifle matches. Scabbard and Blade also handled the public-address system for the buggy races during Carnival. Row 1: J. Swoboda, R. Pallan. E. Braun. J. Santacroce, A. Stedry, R. Hughmanick, C. Woolard. J.

It is financially responsible for all organizations and as such it finances in total or in part many of the more widely known organizations: Tartan, Thistle, YVRCT, etc. During its Wednesday meetings current problems are discussed and solutions reached. The social calendar, parking restrictions, permanent decorations are just a few of its many responsibilities. Irregardlcss of the unfavorable comments Council receives, the 1953-54 year has probably been its most successful year. Its greatest weakness is probably its own lack of publicity, for Student Council does it work quietly and without fanfare but efficiently. The Scot Phil Drew Editor Business Manager Managing Editor Features Editor Assistant Layout Editor Advertising Manager Photography Editor Production Manager Circulation Manager Publicity Manager Fashions Editor Phil Drew Andy Stcdry Ron Friedman George Milcy Fret! Stern Sylvia Fasick Walt Endcr Pat Trushel Ken Winston Bill Hurley Bob Lindsay Don Arenth Donna Harpold Joan Lucicn If anyone wants to take the trouble to look, he will note that for the last five years at least, everything in the Thistle about the Scot has been apologetic. This is especially bad since the Scot staff writes these things. Well, it's high time that this matter was righted. So — no apologies. Just facts. The Scot this year enjoyed a season of unprecedented prosperity and popularity. The debt of over $1000 which had accumulated over a period of nearly eight years was completely erased. The circulation rose well above anything it had done before —the Homecoming issue sold out, the Christmas issue (with an extra 40 copies) sold out, and the spring issue sold close to its limit. The reason for this is not hard to find —the staff was larger than before and possessed more talent than before. The entire group did an outstanding job, and, what is more, had a good time doing it. None but a good staff can think up and carry out brainchildren such as the pin-up calendar, the 3-D Christmas story, or the Cartan. In March Phil Drew and Andy Stedrv stepped down from editor and business manager, as Don Arenth and Bob Lindsay stepped up. Under their leadership the Scot looks forwartl to an even brighter future —and no one anticipates having to apologize again. Seated: D. Harpold, P. Ryavc, J. Stark, S. Smith, J. Billon, S.

Gross The Carnegie Plaid goes to press It is difficult to survive a week at Carnegie without running across a copy of the TARTAN, which is published almost weekly and distributed free (to avoid circulation problems) to all who have the strength and inclination to pick it up. It carries a running account of what is happening, and what is going to and has happened, as well as assorted cartoons, articles, features, and editorials of varying interest and merit. After some preliminary work during the week, the nuclei of the paper’s staff collide Friday evening to plan the issue for the following Tuesday (or, if all docs not go well, the following Wednesday). The thing comes to a head late Sunday afternoon, and is then turned over to the printer, who gallantly tries to unscramble things before the standard deadline. The Tartan is mildly praised by some and roundly cursed by others, but seems to be read, in part at least, by almost everyone, whether it be for information, entertainment, or just the healthful irritation of the spleen.

In following through with Editor Veres's idea of larger and better coverage, we have given as complete a report as room will allow to the past year. The book has stressed informality as its theme and you will probably notice many different and unusual items as you browse through the book. The staff had many trials and tribulations while putting the book together and at the same time had fun and encountered many humorous events. Just to mention a few of these trials and humorous events: 140 senior pictures got sliced in half by accident three weeks before the book was to go to press; a roll of film got developed in hypo instead of developer — result, no pictures; and then there was the time when the copy editor threw a glass of ice water at the editor and the fraternities editor got in the way — result, one wet Greek editor and Greek layout, one dry editor and a frustrated copy editor. As I said, the staff had thei. enjoyment. In November we had a party; although it was not as successful as hoped, those who attended had a bang up time—just ask any of us. Also, in April we had our annual banquet at Carnegie Union at which the Thistle queen and court were presented and the new officers for the '55 Thistle were announced. For those who do not know as yet who the Thistle queen and her court are, they can be found in the “beauties” section. Also, the new editor for 1955 is Mary Jane Opris, may she have as cooperative a staff as the '54 editor did; the new business manager is James Pluggc whom the staff will get to hate as the year rolls on when he keeps saying ‘no money’; and last but not least, the work horse of the staff, the managing editor, Philip (Colonel) Jeske. Many man hours and women hours also went into publishing this volume of the Thistle and many people were responsible for its production. If all were mentioned, it would take many pages; however, 1 would like to point out those who in particular gave precious time to the book and unselfishly worked late at night after graduation in the hot and humid rooms on the third floor of the Union. To begin with, there is myself, Ken Haynes, the editor, but he can be passed over and let’s go on to the others. John Scouller, the managing editor, was responsible for most of the layout in the book and the efficiency with which the book was put together. Little Marguerite Barberic, the copy editor, had her hands full collecting all the copy and getting it typed and in the right places. Molly Rudy, the smallest of the staff members and our organizations editor, probably knows more people on the campus than anyone else after she finally got everyone in the photographs identified. Phil Jcske, the sports editor, learned what he is in for next year as managing editor as he stayed after school to finish laying out the sports sections and helping wherever else he could. Jim (Sam the Thistle man) Williams turned out some tremendous art work for the book and was kept busy at layout when he was not doing art work. Mary Jane Opris took complete charge of the Greeks as she collected all the information and laid out the entire sections. Nancy Davis got gray hair trying to get all 500 odd seniors to have their pictures taken. Our circulation manager, Nancy Whit-myre, gets applause for her never-ending job and the fine way she carried it out. Ann Becker was responsible for the fine queen section, personalities, and other feature articles which are so important in making this book a hopeful success. The most over-worked man on the staff, Jim Plugge, probably wishes he never will see a camera or photograph after this year. Bill Hurley was always on hand to advise us when technical problems cropped up, and last but by no means least Phil LIridgc, our business manager, kept the books straight in hopes of keeping us out of the red. Well, enough said. Station U RCT George Candler Seated: B. Schramm, R. Gillette, G. Candler, J. Barclay, B. Venable, J. Hall Standing: J- Boyden, B. Sette WRCT had its most successful year in its history during the past year. The staff increased considerably and better programs resulted. Although operation was hampered during the early part of the year when the newly donated equipment was installed and the studio was remodeled, the result was worthwhile — a new and modern radio studio. With $4000 worth of new LP’s, it became possible to present a different program each day. The teletype machine enabled WRCT to present the news before the down-town stations had it on the air. If the past year’s operation is an indication of things to come, then WRCT — Radio Carnegie Tech — should become one of Tech’s most popular activities.

Manager Ass't Manager Secretary Librarian Student Director Harry Anderson Janet Wilkins Pitsa Theodore James Kaiser Dale Alexy This is the third year of the existence of the Cameron Choir and it has been a very successful one. The Choir is made up of sixty members which were chosen from the 120 that tried out — the rest are used as extras. These members are both graduate and undergraduate students who arc interested in singing. Every Monday and Thursday afternoons the students get together for practicing and meeting. The Cameron Choir has become an all campus activity. Their activities began this year with their appearance at the Carnegie Day ceremonies during Homecoming where they sang “A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody” and “Swance”. On March 9th they all piled into a bus and journeyed up to Erie where they gave two concerts —one of them over WICU-TV. Forty of the members made the trip and this marked the first time the Cameron Choir had given a concert out of the Pittsburgh area. On April 9 they gave their annual Spring Concert at the Stephan Foster Memorial. They sang such songs as “Cornin’ through the Rye”, “Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address and “Kiss Me Kate Medley.” During the year they also made a scries of fifteen-minute tape recordings which were presented over WWSW in Pittsburgh. They finished the 1953-1954 season with their appearance at the Call Day ceremonies during Spring Carnival where they again showed the fine tonal quality of their voices. Linder the able leadership of Richard L. Camp, director, the Choir has had a very successful year. Kiltie Band One of Tech’s most honored Scottish traditions is the bagpiper-complete with the wheezing of his pipes and the flash of the Cameron kilts. Following the bagpipers onto the field at football games is the colorful Kiltie Band, the country’s only authentically costumed college band. The Band, consisting of men from all departments of the school, is actually two bands: a marching section and the Symphonic Band. Besides playing at school functions, the men present two concerts a year at the Carnegie Music Mall and numerous others around Pittsburgh. Currently the Marching Band is developing a style of marching called the “Scotch Ballet” which it hopes to improve and perhaps induce other school bands into accepting.

HISTORY Origin of Koppers Company, Inc., dates hack to June 10, 1907 when Heinrich Koppers. a young German engineer who had devised a better way of heating chemical-recovery coke ovens, established engineering offices at Joliet, III. Koppers set alxnit building a battery of bis coke ovens for the Illinois Steel Company. The budding young steel industry of the United States watched with interest, recognizing that the Koppers ovens made better coke, and at the same time recovered the gas. tar and other products which the old bee-hive ovens burned olf. GROWTH World War II saw a need for synthetic rnblx-r. and the government. recognizing Koppers ability in constructing specialized chemical plants, asked it to build a plant at Kohuta. Pa., to make styrene and butadiene, primary ingredients of synthetic- rubber. After the war. Koppers purchased part of the Kohuta plant and converted it to the manufacture of the versatile plastic- molding material—polystyrene. With four other chemical plants in operation, and a sixth under construction. Koppers has liecomc a growing unit of America’s rapidly expanding chemical industry. RESEARCH Recognizing that continued growth demands unceasing efforts to better serve industry and the public. Koppers places great emphasis on scientific research . . . research that makes many products better anil many better products possible. In addition to extensive participation at Mellon Institute, Koppers is preparing to open a Research Center at Verona. Fa. A Career with a Future From a small engineering firm, later purchased by American Interests and moved to Pittsburgh. Koppers grew rapidly, entering new fields opened by the chemical-recovery coke ovens. To supply cities with g.u and coke, it built for itself and operated several batteries of the coke ovens. It built plants for the recovery of benzene and toluene which were so badly needed for production of explosives during World War I. It Ix-gan to make tar products such ax road and roofing materials, to find ways of getting more of the chemical derivatives from tar. and to utilize certain chcmicab that could lx- recovered from the coking process. Experience at building complicated coke oven batteries led Koppers into other fields of metallurgical engineering and construction. Today Koppers and its Freyn Engineering Department are known throughout the world as builders of superior blast furnaces, sintering plants, rolling mills and entire integrated Steel plants. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES A career with Koppers offers tlx- tpialificd college graduate interesting work, at goixl pay and with a high degree of job security.
