PENNSYLVANIA 15213 As the governing body of the Board of Trustees, the Executive Committee meets monthly for the consideration of matters pertaining to the successful operation of Carnegie Tech. Upon recommendation of the President, the Committee makes all the appointments of the administration and acts upon matters of policy concerning the college. Although the student body seldom acknowledges their gratitude, we greatly appreciate the unpublicized achievements of the Board and the Executive Committee. BOARD OF TRUSTEES JAMES M.

BLOOM BENJAMIN F. FAIRLESS J. C. HOBBS ROY A. HUNT ANTHONY J. KERIN JOHN F. LABOON LEONARD S. MUDGE THOMAS L. ORR GWILYM A. SWENSRUD JOHN C. WARNER FREDERIC G. WEIR CHARLES E. WILSON President J. C. Warner Upon the shoulders of President John C. Warner rests the progress of Carnegie Institute of Technology. He constantly strives to keep Tech moving toward the fulfillment of immediate and future aims. An academic balance between undergraduate and graduate programs and research. Dr. Warner believes, must be maintained in order for Carnegie Tech to remain an excellent school. But Dr. Warner knows too that we need improved conditions, and he is planning for such things as a new student union and a central library building. Although academic and financial problems loom large and important, Jake maintains a warm and personal interest in the student body. He hopes that college life at Tech v ill be just a beginning. After school days are over, interests in people, in the community, and in one's profession should grow. President Warner's accomplishments, among them his position as president-elect of the American Chemical Society, bear v itness to the soundness of his philosophy. Webster N.

Elliott, Executive Secretary Librarian Alumni Federation Ben E. David, Dean of Men Who do you think is the busiest person on campus—a student with two lab reports overdue or a professor with themes to correct? They're both busy alright, but Dean Ben David takes the honors in this category. His responsibilities are many and varied. During a single day he may attend a policy meeting, listen to personal problems, advise student organizations, check accounts, speak at a dinner, and attend a student meeting. Despite the fast pace and rugged schedule Dean David's smile has never vanished and his pleasure in helping students never faltered. It is with deep regret that we. the student body, say farewell to our good friend, Dean Ben David who leaves Tech to assume other duties. We wish a grand guy the very best of luck and much happiness. Dale E. Strict, Head Men's Residence Halls Mrs. R. L. Hackett, Dean of Women When the fall semester opened Tech welcomed Mrs. Helen Hackett as acting Dean of Women. A graduate of Margaret Morrison, Mrs. Hackett returned to her alma mater to assume the many responsibilities of her office. She is always ready to offer help and guidance when it is needed, but she is equally eager to have the girls drop in to tell of an exciting or a new achievement. Mrs. Hackett's policy is one of counsel and guidance rather than strict discipline for she knows that we must learn to make our own decisions. A completely charming and gracious person, Mrs. Helen Hackett has made many friends in this her freshman year as Tech's acting Dean of Women. Mrs. E. C.

THE NEW LOOK - DONNER HALL Continued reconstruction at Carnegie Tech has given the campus the new look. Since the war the famed barracks have not only been an eyesore, but also they have provided the men with very humble lodgings. Replacing the barracks, Donner Hall, named after the philanthropist William Henry Donner, houses 243 students. The structure is a two— wing dormitory, consisting of five floors and is joined on the ground floor to provide a social area composed of an entry, vestibule and two lounges. The basement floor opens onto Tech Bowl and will eventually be developed as an athletic field house. The Beginning of Donner Hall... Early stages of construction ... Down come the barracks! DONNER HALL The lounge of Donner Hall... MOREWOOD GARDENS RECREATION ROOM The addition of the Recreation Room in More-wood Gardens with ping pong tables and a food service center has benefited social life on campus, providing entertainment for the girls as well as their dates. A study room in the new dorm... Another lounge in Donner Hall... 104 PORTER HALL Redecoration of Porter Hall in Administration Hall has made lectures much more enjoyable since the local pidgeons are no longer able to add their choice comments.

Cantrick, takes pride in pioneering new developments, both as a marching and as a concert outfit. This year recognition has come to.the organization at the state and national levels—in September the nationally circulated Music Educators Journal pub-lihed an article on the Kiltie Band entitled The Marching Band as an Art. -Also the Pennsylvania division of the Music Educators National Conference invited a panel of Kiltie Band officers and Mr. Cantrick to present a lecture-demonstration at the annual convention in Harrisburgh. The Band, consisting of men from all departments of the school, is actually two bands: the Marching Band and the Symphonic Band. Besides playing at school functions, the members present the annual Winter Concert and Spring Concert at Carnegie Music Hall and make other appearances around Pittsburgh. The bagpipe section, under the direction of Lewis Davidson, is a part of the Marching Band; however, during the concert season it functions as a separate unit. The pipers made appearances at many important affairs in the Pittsburgh area this year. The Symphonic Band Cameron Choir Under the able leadership of Director Richard L. Camp and student director John Kestner, the Cameron Choir has completed its fourth successful year. If you like to sing and have fun while doing so our choir is the place for you! This year the choir consisted of 70 members, selected from a group of about 140 graduate and undergraduate students who tried out. As an all campus activity the choir participated in school functions as well as giving off—campus concerts. This year the group sang at Homecoming, the Christmas Chapel, and ended the year at Spring Carnival singing the musical score from Anything Goes . Other activities included several church concerts and an afternoon of singing at high schools in the Pittsburgh vicinity. Unfortunately, the trip to Niagra Falls was cancelled at the last minute, but the officers are attempting to arrange a similar excursion for next fall.

A., works to advance the art of synchronized swimming—a relatively new sport which extends from amateur competition to Pan American and Olympic games. The only prerequisite for membership is that the girl or boy must swim well. From the tryout period for new members in September to show time in March, the club is busy learning basic synchronized swimming skills, and individual members are writing and choreographing numbers. The '55 water show, When You Wish Upon a Star”, gave the club members an opportunity to exhibit to the public, through the theme of constellations, knowledge and aquatic ability that had been developed throughout the year.

Smokers following each meeting afforded members time for entertainment and a chance to discuss current engineering improvements. Student Council As the governing body of all the campus organizations, Student Council assumes a very important role and performs real service to the students. It is financially responsible for all organizations; and it finances, in total or in part, many of the more widely known organizations such as the TARTAN, THISTLE, and WRCT. Aside from financial assistance. Student Council authorizes and supervises all drives for funds for special projects, approves all all—school functions as to the date on the social calendar, and establishes school spirit, custom, and tradition. During its Wednesday meetings these and other current problems are discussed and solutions reached. Through these accomplishments. Student Council proves that the need for such a student government organization is necessary for well co-ordinated student activity on Tech's campus. Evening Student Council Evening Student Council is the student governing body of evening school established for the purpose of enriching the social and scholastic lifo of evening students. Every year. Council awards the evening school Achievement Award Key to the graduate who, in their opinion, merits the honor because of high scholastic achievement and active participation in social functions on campus.

The Scot Don Arenth.....................Editor-in-Chief Dick Odon, Mary Tinker Carolyn Copp. Claire Lowler The Scot has never exactly been referred to as the fair haired child of the campus periodical brood. But in recent years the magazine has hit a new high in its own history. Increasing its output from four to six issues this year, the Scot has brought a humor magazine, characterized by a variety of themes, to the Tech campus. Don Arenth and staff first produced the Spring Carnival Issue of 1954, and then introduced the Freshman Orientation Issue v hich, curiously enough, appeared during registration in September. At Homecoming the Scot was a sell-out . . . an indication of popularity and a comfortable financial position. The Christmas Issue highlighted a calendar featuring glamourous Tech coeds.

At this time the Scot introduced the Girl of the Month, v hich, before discontinuation some years ago, had been a regular feature. Like other college magazines, we too published an exchange issue. But recognizing the facts as facts, the Scot Crew labeled this April edition the Plagiarism Issue . You don't have to be a star gazer to see that the future success of the Scot is well assured. The aptness of Carolyn Copp and her gifted staff promises greater achievements for the Scot's prestige and quality—both on and off campus. lom Poriching, Tod Hatch. Aubroy Amey H.

HoUtan The Carnegie Technical, the undergraduate engineering and science publication of Carnegie Tech, is nationally known and one of the four college technical publications to be collected by the Library of Congress. The year of 1955 was one of organization, experimentation, and success. The largest staff in the magazine's history put out seven issues instead of the usual six and experimented with new art forms, new layout devices, and even a new printer. The editorial policy was broadened and articles of general interest and from all departments in the school were included. Good examples of this were, The Meaning of the Oppenheimer Case and The Engineer in Our Society . The culmination of the year's work was the theme issue, “The Infinite Cathedral , a survey of professional development and opportunities in engineering and science. This issue, the largest ever printed by the Technical Staff, was distributed free to every E S student. It received national acclaim and was distributed more widely than any other issue.

To some this means bigger and more elaborate coverage. Faced with a limited supply of time, money, and photographers, we set out in true Carnegie Plan attack to define our problem, analyze our data and come up with some astounding conclusions . . . . namely, that we had a pretty tough job ahead of us! Having a love of order and what we considered an eye for the art elements, our first decisions were in favor of a table of contents to help crazy mixed-up sophomores and absent-minded professors find their way through the book, and some eye-opening artwork to jolt lethargic subscribers out of their lab aprons. Having completed our specifications, we embarked upon our program of infinite details, ag-grivations, and catastrophies. Nancy Davis, Joe Santacroce and. Bob Garrison had to distribute '54 books and sell new subscriptions. Molly, Joan Z., and Barb Casey scheduled organizations and faculty pictures for an overworked staff of photographers.

I ATHLETIC DIRECTOR On July 1, 1952, Frank Melvin Cratsley, basketball coach and former athletic star, became the Director of Athletics when the late Clarence (Buddy) Overend, who had held the office for 29 years, retired. The former basketball great has been coach of the Carnegie hardwood quintet since 1949, when he replaced Bill Donahue. The personable, well-built coach has developed some very respectable teams in his 6 years as coach. This year's team was perhaps his best. Although the record was only 13-11, many top-ranking teams were conquered by the tireless Tartans . His effort this year was not overlooked for he v as named Coach of the Year by the Pittsburgh district sportswriters. The thirty-six year old Cratsley, picked last year as one of the 100 men under 40 who would be a promoter of the city of Pittsburgh, had a brilliant athletic career at Tech. From 1936 to 1939 he was a court star under Coach Max Hannum, teaming with Bob Stark to bring home the Eastern Collegiate basketball championships, against such formidable opposition as Temple, Georgetown, Duquesne, Penn State, West Virginia, and Pitt. In the 1938-1939 season. Cratsley netted 34 points against West Virginia, a Carnegie scoring record until 1953 when Tom Craig equalled it in the game against Indiana State Teachers. In the fall, he was an outstanding end on Bill Kern's great football squads. He was a member of the famed Carnegie Sugar Bowl team of 1938—the same year which the team brought home the Lambert Trophy, emblematic of the Eastern football champions. Although Mr. Cratsley played when Tech was in the big time, he entertains no ambitions of taking the school back into the bigger sports bracket. This year, better teams were added to the fooball and basketball schedules so that Tech could play schools of better caliber and gain some prestige. However, Mel still maintains the athletic policy adopted in 1937 under the late President Robert E. Doherty. A native of Clenwillard, Pa. Mr. Cratsley graduated from Findlay High School, Imperial, in 1935 and Carnegie as a mechanical engineer in 1940. After graduation he was employed by Carnegie-llli-nois and then served as a Lieutenant in the U. S. Navy in the Pacific. Upon completion of his naval duties, he returned to Carnegie-Illinois and remained there until 1949. In the fall semester of 1949 he became head basketball coach. Mel Cratsley, Director of Athletics 3 2 n — U a, f ★ Before a jubilant Homecoming crowd at Forbes Field of more than 5000 people, Tech not only won its seventh straight but the mythical Class B title as well, as the Tartans got closer to their objective—the first undefeated season in the school’s history. Undefeated Tartans VARSITY ATHLETICS 'The buses that were to take us and our equipment to Fcrbes Field didn’t show up,” he explained. So our players walked to the game. But then it was discovered we had no footballs with us. So we finally borrowed a practice ball from Johns Hopkins to get the game started. 26-6 Q) • mm Q u c 9 mm C C c o Ik 3 ® ■ — © S © © o cc A— © V. © © x; o re O T3 - 3 fl) W £ 1 5 -O . 3 Sjc.: 2 3 3— « r i o ci So r-1 O fit- c °s!“ fS ►J 7 t. 2 W O 3 £ O 5 w O’CS Ctcu 22a t © © 5 CA aNc v v V ’ FOOTBALL BASKETBALL CROSS COUNTRY SWIMMING TRACK TENNIS GOLF £ 3 s CD - H •8 Plaid Tries Today For 8th Straight Starting Lineup Tot.

This year's eight game schedule was marred only by the final game of the season against powerful Lehigh in which the Tartans had to be contented with a 13-13 tie. Under the coaching of Dr. Eddie Baker Carnegie Tech's teams of the past six years have had winning seasons with this year’s record of 7-0-1 bringing Dr. Baker's six year total to 33-12-2. With 20 lettermen returning last year and with the large freshman turnout there was great anticipation as to what type record could be posted. Employing a good blend of newcomers and veterans the Tartans went on to post Tech's first undefeated season. WESTMINSTER 6-0 The Plaid got the 1954 season started off on the right foot, edging the Titans of Westminster 6-0. After a scoreless first half, Tech broke loose on a 46-yard touchdown run. Playing against one of the best quarterbacks in the district, Tech had a difficult time on the defensive but managed to become a literal wall of flesh and bones when Westminster neared the gcaline. LAFAYETTE 23-21 At Fisher Stadium in Easton, Pa., the Tartans played one of their finest games of the season. A 27-point pre-game underdog, Carnegie matched its tremendous fighting spirit and much improved offense against a strong Lafayette team to win 23-21. This game was one in which a smaller but scrappier team capitalized on every break to win. Trailing 14-7 at halftime, the Tartans returned to the offensive as scores were made on a safety, a blocked punt, and a pass play. Lafayette scored late in the final period to complete the scoring but it was too late as the Tartans were not to be denied this victory. JOHNS HOPKINS 25-0 In Tech's home debut there was no stopping of the offense as the Plaid rolled to a 25-0 win over the Blue Marshall Brown Phil Jeske Coaches—Dr. J. Quatse, E. Hirshberg, Dr. E. Baker, A. Irwin, W. Burns Eddie Miller Jesse Quatse Jays of Johns Hopkins. Tech's domination of the visitor is illustrated in the net gains from rushing — Tech 309 yds. and Johns Hopkins 17. The offensive attack was diversified as four men crossed into paydirt for the Plaid. Even though the attack was strong offensively, much credit was due to the linemen for playing a brilliant game. GENEVA 15-7 On a rain-soaked field the Covies of Geneva played host to the Tartans in a game that was to decide the champions of the mythical class B district title. The poor condition of the field caused the offenses of both teams to be hindered but with the recovery of a fumble by an alert Tech lineman, the Plaid offense began to roll. With the ball on the Tech 42, a pitchout pass was used which moved the ball to the Geneva 3 yd. line. From here the Tartans scored but the extra point try was unsuccessful. The score remained 6.0 in favor of Carnegie until late in the 3rd quarter when an intercepted lateral produced a touchdown for the Covies. The extra point was successful and Geneva led 7-6. In the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Tartan offensive machine again got moving, scored, and made the score Tech 13 Geneva 7. Later in the quarter, a Geneva punt was blocked into the end zone and Tech was awarded an automatic safety to complete the scoring and give Tech four victories in a row. EDINBORO 26-6 In the second home game, the Tartans played host to the Red Raiders of Edinboro. Although held to a 7-0 lead at halftime, the Plaid scored in every quarter but the second in which a touchdown was called back because of a backfield in motion penalty. The first score came as a result of a recovered fumble on the Raider 31. After a 21 yd. run to the 10, two line plays were tried and the touchdown made. The next two scores were after interceptions of passes and the final from running plays from the 40 yd. line. Bill Kennedy Ken Ficery Edinboro scored on a 28 yd. pass play in the final minute of play. ST. VINCENT 19-7 The Plaid continued its winning ways as a stubborn St. Vincent team was downed at the Bearcat Stadium in Latrobe, before 2500 chilled fans. The first half showed Tech with only a 6 point lead but the Tartans would have been tied or behind if it were not for a brilliant goaline stand. The Bearcats tried 2 quarterback sneaks from the 1 yd. line but the staunt line held within inches of the goal as the half ended. The game v as cinched very quickly at the start of the third quarter when the Plaid scored two fast TD's. The first v as made on some fine running plays and the second on a 59 yd. run and a 16 yd. scoring pass. This v as the sixth victory in a row. WASHINGTON JEFFERSON 21-0 Before the annual Homecoming crowd of more than 5000 the Tartans not only won their seventh straight but the mythical class B title as well. If the Tartans had not played alert on occasions the outcome would have been much different for the lighter Prexy line completely outfought the Tech linemen. The first score came from a 10 yd. pass after the Tech John McCarthy John Williamson line had blocked a W and J. punt. The deepest penetration by the Prexies into the Tech territory was to tho 15 yd. stripe before losing the ball on downs. Tech's final two touchdowns were recorded on a 23 yd. pass and a 1 yd. line smash by the quarterback. On to Lehigh! LEHIGH 13-13 In the most exciting game ever witnessed by yours truly the Plaid had to be content with a 13-13 tie against a highly-favored Lehigh team. Ten thousand cheering and screaming fans were on hand at Forbes Field to witness the battle between the two undefeated schools. Tech drew first blood when a Lehigh pass was intercepted and run back to the five yard line. Here the TD was made and the conversion successful. Before the Tech fans could get their breath the Lehigh line had broken away one of the backs on a 56 yd. touchdown sprint. The conversion was made and the score was knotted 7-7. On the first series of downs Lehigh intercepted a Tech pass and returned the ball to the 8 yd. line. The Plaid line held for three downs but the Engineers scored on the fourth attempt. The conversion was partially blocked and Lehigh led 13-7. The game then settled down until Tech with 5 seconds remaining in the half threw a tremendous pass. The Tar- Joe Thomas A1 Schell BASKETBALL V ith seven lettermen reluming and graduation taking no one the outlook for this year’s seaeson was very good. Height, the biggest handicap, v as still lacking, but it was hoped that speed and experience would partly overcome this difficulty. Good shooting, good ball handling, and aggressiveness were the team's best attributes. Although the record shows 13 wins and 11 losses one must remember the teams against which the Tartans were matched—Penn State, NCAA finalist; Geneva, Pennsylvania's representative in the NAIB; West Virginia, winner of the Southern Conference; Duquesne, winner of the NIT and New York Holiday Tournament; and clways good Westminster and Pitt.

The extra point try was wide and the score was 13-13. Other scoring attempts by both sides were unsuccessful with Tech trying a 20 yd. field goal and Lehigh throwing many long passes. Repeating, hats off to the great team! Thirteen seniors ended their college careers in the Lehigh game. These men: Eddie Miller, Ward Jones, Dick Cortes, Jack Williamson, Dale Peoples. Bill Novak, Phil Jeske, John McCarthy, and A! Schell, will long be remembered as the leaders of Tech's first underfeated football team. Although graduation has cut heavily into the manpower of the squad, next year's team now has something to shcot for— keeping the streak going. CARNEGIE 73 INDIANA 59 Opening the season against a high scoring Indiana team, Tech demonstrated both its offensive and defensive power. To demonstrate its offensive power. Tech poured through 44 points in the second half. All of the starters were in the double figures with Dick Fieler and Ralph Mocker leading the way with 14 points each. CARNEGIE 60 WEST VIRGINA 68 The Tartan's hope for victory No. 2 was smashed when they played host to the fabulous Hot Rod Hundley and the West Virginia Mountaineers. Bill Dosey Eddie Miller Forced into the game by two main Tartan rallies, the clown. Hot Rod. demonstrated why he is called one of the best in W. V. U.'s history. For Tech. Alan Frank led the scorers with 15 points. CARNEGIE 52 DUQUESNE 72 Playing one of the top raked teams in the country, Tech was stopped by the Dukes at the Gardens. The halftime score was 35--18 and the second half continued much in the same way. All American Dick Ricketts was the leader for the Dukes as he poured 34 points through the nets. For Tech, Alan Frank made 18. CARNIGIE 79 PITT 67 After trailing Pitt for more than half the game, the Tartans charged out front with a string of 16 successive points to down the six point favorite and Oakland rival. At the beginning of the 2nd half. Pitt nade the score 38—20. but that was it. The Tartans then made 16 straight points. From the field Tech shot an amazing 60 i for the entire 2nd half.

Pa. to play Jesse Arnelle and the Nittany Lions. The second half saw the score see—saw back and forth ten times before the Lions were able to muster up a sizeable lead for their margin of victory. Jim Boyd lead Tech with 19 points, 13 of which came from the foul line—a new Tech record—and was foil owed by Bill Dosey with 15. CARNEGIE 87 THIEL 58 Back at Skibo Gym, the Tartans used a combination of high scorers and fast breaks to down the Tomcats of Thiel College. Again Tech showed its poise in the 2nd half for at intermission the score was only 39—34. Jim Boyd led the scorers with 22 points while Ralph Mocker and Alan F. Mocker and Alan Frank each had 17. CARNEGIE 95 WESTMINSTER 82 On the day before Christmas vacation the Scots gave Coach Mel Cratsley a fine Xmas present by outrunning the Tall Titans.

CARNEGIE 74 GENEVA 82 Geneva, leading at halftime 48-38, held off a couple of Tartan spurts and went off to win for the home fans at Beaver Falls. Despite 25 pts. by Charley Goetz, the scoring attack never did get started. Ralph Mocker added 21 points to Goetz's 25. CARNEGIE 66 PENN STATE 56 Before a completely partisan crowd of 1800 screaming students, the Tartans employed a zone defense and completely bottled up the Penn State scoring star, Jesse Arnelle. In the second half. Tech outscored State 43-29 and completely dominated the play. Another team victory was added to the Tartan record as all of the fellows contributed heavily offensively and defensively. Dick Fieler. Jim Boyd, and Ralph Mocker topped Tech's scoring with 22. 17. and 15 points respectively.

With the score 65-62, Dick Fieler added a jump shot to make the count 65-64. On the next play, however, a W 6 J player broke loose, scored VACATION TOURNAMENT CARNEGIE 79 WASHINGTON AND LEE 90 CARNEGIE 82 MARSHALL 101 Plcying at Fayetteville, West Va.. the Tartans could not get their offensive attack moving.

CARNEGIE 66 PITT 78 Still smarting from defeat at the hands of Wash Lee and Marshall, Tech was unable to catch a taller, more spirited Pitt team.

CARNEGIE 70 WEST VIRGINIA 69 Fresh from three straight losses, Tech, before 6200 fans at Morgantown, upset mighty West Va.

Dick Fieler, with six seconds remaining, made a 20—foot push shot to gain the a layup, and converted the foul to finish the scoring. Jim Boyd had a fine night at the foul line-converting 14 for the new Tech record-and finishing the evening with 24 points. CARNEGIE 86 GROVE CITY 74 CARNEGIE 78 GROVE CITY 65 In two games of a very similar nature Tech won twice at the expense of a much weaker Grove City team. In each of the games, the Tartans were ahead by 15 to 25 points until Coach Cratsley cleared the bench early in the 2nd half. The first team each night were all in the double figures. Wayne Nathanson Jim Boyd CARNEGIE 74 DICKINSON 64 After getting off to a bad start, the Tartans forged ahead to win their third game in a row. Usually playing teams greater in size, Tech, for once, had the opportunity of meeting a team its own size and thus dominated the rebounding. Four of the first six men tallied in double figures with Dick Fieler's 18 the best. CARNEGIE 66 GENEVA 61 Bouncing back from the Duquesne loss, the Tartans were successful in avenging an earlier defeat. Trailing at halftime, 35--33, Tech, though playing without the services of several of the regulars, fought back steadily to win. Leading Tech's scores. Alan Frank had 19 pts. and Ralph Mocker 15. CARNEGIE 82 YOUNGSTOWN 92 At Youngstown the Tartans ran into one of the best shooting teams in the district. The total game shooting percentage of the Penguins was over 60$. The game started out as a nip and tuck affair and at halftime the scoreboard read 37--34 Youngstown. Five Tartans hit in double figures with Jim Boyd leading with 23. CARNEGIE 91 CASE 73 After the upset loss to Youngstown, the Tartans returned to put on an excellent display of basketball against Case Tech. The halftime score was 50-25. In the first half the play was completely dominated by Ralph Mocker who made 19 pts. in that period Ralph Mocker while in the 2nd half, Jim Boyd took up the team's slack and contributed 18. Again the five regulars hit double figures. CARNEGIE 79 W ] 67 Still showing the razzle-dazzle typo of basketball Tech put on a good second half shooting show to avenge an earlier loss. The Proxies took an early lead but at halftime the Tartans had taken a one point on the spirited play of Charley Goetz, Bill Dosey, and Wayne Nathanson. Without these three the game certainly would have had different outcome. Ralph Mocker's 18 pts. led Tech v ith Goetz's 15 and Dick Fieler's 14 right behind. CARNEGIE 86 WESTMINSTER 63 Ignoring the pre-game predictions a spirited and hustling Tech team ran the Titans into the ground on the Westminster floor. Excellent ballhandling and deadly shooting plus good defensive team work and tremendous rebounding by Alan Frank did the trick. In the 2nd half the Speedy Scots scored 48 points to Westminster's 27. Again the scoring was distributed: Dick Fieler, 22; Alan Frank, 20; Jim Boyd, 18; and freshman Charley Goetz, 14. CARNEGIE 71 SLIPPERY ROCK 85 Taking a page from Tech's own book, the Rockets of Slippery Rock ended their season, and Tech's with the biggest upset in the district this -year. The Rockets came to Skibo Gym with an unimpressive 5--11 record, but they also brought some of that desire to win. Their first half shooting percentage was 71' ! One good point in the otherwise disappointing season end was Dick Fieler's 32 point effort in which he set a new school record of 16 field goals in one game. CARNEGIE 27 DUQUESNE 62 For the first few minutes of the game, it looked as though the Tartans might pull another of their upsets for they were working well as a unit. However, midway in the first half the Duges began to use outside setshooting. This proved highly successful; for in one spell the Dukes made 8 of 9 long set shots! Jim Boyd had 11 pts. to lead Tech. Alan Frank Dick Fieler J 4 Charlie Goetz CROSS COUNTRY The outlook for this year did not look good with only two starters returning from last year's top notch team. The schedule was the hardest ever to face a Tech cross country team. With regard to the opposition, Tech's new coach. Bob Carman, turned in a highly respectable first year. The Tartans began their winning ways by downing the Jeanette Harriers 21-37 and thus captured their 18th win in a row. Oddly enough, a Jeanette man. Coach Bob Carman who was running for the visitors won first place but the next four across the line were Tech runners. The following week Coach Bob Carman had his own personal win streak, but the team's was broken by a strong Geneva team. The margin of difference was four very good freshmen that Geneva used in gaining the 26-29 win. Mai Gillies of Tech missed winning by only 3 seconds, losing to Geneva's star, Homer Weaver. WW-ttA T Mike Driscoll Co-captains: Mai Gillies Hap McDonald Manager: Joe Santacroce However the Tartans soon returned to their winning ways by defeating West Virginia's Southern Conference defending champs 25-30 with Mai Gillies again setting the pace. The cross country team got a chance to compete with the football team for some glory against the harriers from Case by starting and ending the race at Forbes Field. The runners left the park before the game got underway and returned early in the first period. Tech placed six runners in the first seven finishers to pile up a lop-sided score of 16-53. The Tri-State meet proved to be as exciting as advertised with the dual between Tech's Mai Gillies and Geneva's Homer Weaver highlighting the program. Mai got off to a fast start and set the pace as he and Weaver practically sprinted the first half mile. After setting the pace for the rest of the pack. Gillies lost his lead to Weaver midway in the race, and never colud quite regain it. He pushed Weaver from that moment until the finish with Weaver almost running himself into unconsciousness. The crowd, not having quite settled itself from the above duel, was brought to its feet seconds later when Jackson of Geneva and Tech's MacDonald came into the stadium with the Happer leading by a few feet. Jackson put on his spurt and passed MacDonald but Hap, who was running and inspired race, put on a spurt of his own, and the two sprinted the last quarter of a mile shoulder lo shoulder, with Hap pulling away in the last twenty yards to win by 6 inches. However, the inspired running was not enough as Geneva won the meet with Tech placing second to end a successful season.

They got off on the right foot by winning their first six meets before losing to Oberlin at the victor's pool. Before that. Tech had swum roughshod over Slippery Rock 62--25, Indiana STC 67-17, West Virginia 62-22, Westminster 54-21, before winning a closely fought battle with Kent State 44-40 and beating Case of Cleveland 5-34. However, the Oberlin team proved to be too much for Tech, winning 54-30 with Mike Litch, a freshman from Honolulu, taking Tech's only individual first place. Tech bettered the .500 mark for the remainder of the season beating Indiana STC 62-22 and Fenn 53-30 while losing to Grove City 29-55 at home, then journeying to win at W ] 48-21 and lost to Allegheny 31-44. Tech carried a season record of eight wins and three losses into the Penn-Ohio meet, but could do no better than third as records fell by the wayside. Five records in all were broken, with Tech setting a new meet record for the 300 yard medley relay.

Tech's outlook for the future is bright since several of this year's stars were only freshmen. Helping greatly in Tech's unanticipated successful season were freestylers Mike Litch and Tony Cha-may, backstroker Frank Shuck, whose older brother Dave is an outstanding distance man, and Jim Hagan, a breaststroker from Pittsburg's Peabody High School. C-Clan Award Bill Aiken TRACK Losing no one through graduation, the track team began its pre-season workouts with one of the largest turnouts in years. Returning to form the squad's nucleus were Gillies, Muller, Jones, Fetter, Flynn. Stofan, Szewc, McCurdy, Driscoll, Swaney, and Zuckewar. The team began the season with an unbeaten string of 27 which covered a four-year span. Beginning the season on the right foot, the Tartans crushed the Jeanette Harriers, to exend the dual win string to 28. John Muller captured first in two events, placed second in another, and anchored the relay team to its seventh dual meet victory. The thinclads of Coach Bob Carman captured seven firsts out of a possible nine. Alan Frank, the high-jumping basketball center, came within a fraction of the Tech high jumping record. Against a very strong Slippery Rock outfit, the thinclads proved themselves to be a team to watch in the district track circles. John Muller again paved the way for the Tartans as he took individual honors with 14 Vi points. His time in the 440 set a new school record. Mai Gillies again won the mile and half mile run while Larry and Bill Bryant copped their specialty, the two-mile run. C-Clan Award John Muller Winning 11 of 15 events. Tech again proved its track superiority and thus stretched the win skein to 30. In the spring of 1951, the Tartans beat Case in Cleveland to begin their tremendous streak. None of the Tech vets were hard pressed to win their respective events so Coach Carman used some of his untried freshmen when the outcome was obvious. Against a supposedly strong Grove City team, the Tartans made it No. 31 by completely downing their hosts in 13 of 15 events. In the 440. John Muller set a new Tech record of 49.9 to be the only Tartan to ever run the distance under 50 seconds. Again Mai Gillies won the half mile and mile missing the record in the latter by only .6 of a second. Freshmen John Mihm, Frank Smith, and Norm Smilek all won their respective events for the Tartans to make the future seasons' outlook good. By a score of 96-35, the Tartans easily kept their streak going. It was the 32nd in a row. The usual double winners for Tech were Frank Smith, Ward Jones, and Mai Gillies who missed the half mile mark by only .1 of a second. Finally the enviable record of the Tartans was ruined by a strong Westminster aggregation. Against a team sporting superior depth in both track and field events. Tech was unable to score enough firsts to gain the win. Following the discouraging Westminster meet, the Tartans again battled Westminster and Slippery Rock only to have to concede to a third place. Tech's John Muller was the star of the meet, though, in winning three events-breaking records in two-and anchoring the winning relay team. It was a disappointing end to a tremendous season.

Last year Tech had a win streak of 22 straight broken by Penn State but then went on to win the ramaining four games on the schedule and the city title. Despite heavy loses from graduaiton enough of the team returned to promise another good season. The season was opened very impressively with a 7-2 win over the Dukes. In the singles, Jim Miller, John Rugheimer, Bill Rowley, Larry Dussair, and Charley Schaul all won their games while the doubles lost only one of their matches. C-Clan Award Jim Miller Row I. L.

In winning 7-2, again 5 of the 6 singles matches were won by Tech and only one doubles was lost. After losing a close meet to a good Penn State team the netmen evened their record for the two-day trip by downing Juniata the next day, 6--3. Against State, Plaid won two of the three doubles matches but could capture only two of the six singles. Juniata was the victim of four singles and two doubles matches. At Geneva the following week, five of the first six won their singles with Jim Miller. Steve Rowley, and John Rugheimer winning their first two. In the doubles, Coach Moses graciously omitted using the best doubles team. However, in using the second and fourth teams, Tech still won the only two matches played. The final match of the season which marked the end of the playing days of Jim Miller, A1 Glaser, and John Rugheimer proved to be one of the most exciting of the season. The winner was not decided until the final doubles match was played. This was a strange match, for in every singles match, the winner won the first two sets. At the end of the singles the score was tied 3-3. Tech’s Miller and Glaser then won their doubles match but the other two teams could not turn the trick. 1955 TENNIS SCHEDULE 7 CARNEGIE 7 CARNEGIE 4 CARNEGIE 6 CARNEGIE 8 CARNEGIE 4 CARNEGIE DUQUESNE 2 W J 2 PENN STATE 5 JUNIATA 3 GENEVA I PITT 5 GOLF The Tartans with five returning players presented a stronger and more experienced team to the opposition this year. Coached by William Rodgers, the Tech Registrar, the linksters began their season against a strong Washington and Jefferson squad. This match was rained out, however, and the following week the team traveled to Morgantown Country Club. The Mountain Boys, who were undefeated in four starts, took the Tartans 8-1. Medalist for Tech was Tom Schorr with a score of 77. At the Nemacolin Country Club Tech lost its second match of the year 12-7 to W. J. At this time the team had yet to play at home and thus had been at a definite disadvantage playing on unfamiliar courses. The medalist for Tech was Tom Schorr who shot a 76 to win 3V2 points for the Tartan cause. Returning home the Plaid began to move over to the winning side of the ledger. Beginning with an impressive 7-0 win over Geneva, the team continued its winning streak with victories over Duque-sne and Westminster. Against Duquesne the golfers pasted a 6-1 win on the chins of the Dukes. In both the Geneva and Duquesne matches Tom Schorr was medalist with a pair of 77's. The next home meet matched a strong Tech team against Westminster. Tech, with no trouble, downed the New Wilmington school SV2-V2. In this match no points were given for medalist which only made it six poinst total. After Schorr had tied his match, the other five men all scored victories with Ed Cipro coming in with, a 79 for low score for the day. The Tartans closed the season with a 9--0 defeat at the hands of a very hot Pitt team. Ken Fisher of Pitt was medalist with a par of 72. Ed Cipro was low for Tech with 79. 1955 GOLF SEASON 1 CARNEGIE 7 CARNEGIE 7 CARNEGIE 6 CARNEGIE 514 CARNEGIE 0 CARNEGIE WEST VIRGINIA 8 W I 12 GENEVA 0 DUQUESNE 1 WESTMINSTER Z2 PITT 9 C-Clan Award Ed Cipro 1 Coach William Rogers AWARDS Joe Pash Award Jim Boyd, a junior civil engineer from Brownsville, was awarded the A1 Cerrito Memorial Trophy. The trophy is emblematic of the best all-around basketball player of the year. Jim, in his second season on the varsity, was the team's best percentage shooter and wgs an aggressive, alert rebounder. The cward is presented by the Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity in honor of A1 Cerrito, a member of the fraternity and the varsity team, who died of a rare disease in his junior year. A1 Cerrito Award Eddie Miller, a senior civil engineer from Home-tead, was the unanimous choice of the athletic panel for the Tartan varsity atlete-of-the-year award. Eddie was undoubtedly Tech's gridron leader in the first undefeated season in Tartan history. His hustle and outstanding ability were further demonstrated on the hardwood in aiding Tech to one of its best basketball seasons. The speedy halfback carried the brunt of the Tartan offensive attack and a few months later handled many of the tough defensive assignments for Coach Mel Cratsley's basketballers. Athlete-of-the-year Each year the Joe Pash trophy is awarded to the outstanding football player of that season. This year Eddie Miller received the award. This trophy is awarded by the Phi Kappa fraternity in honor of Joe Pash, a football player who was killed in WoYld War II. Eddie's drive and spark will be sorely missed by the team next fall. INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS THE LEADERS OF THE I. M. PROGRAM Under the able leadership of Director Richard L. Camp and student director John Kestner, the Cameron Choir has completed its fourth successful year. If you like to sing and have fun while doing so our choir is the place for you! This year the choir consisted of 70 members, selected from a group of about 140 graduate and undergraduate students who tried out. As an all campus activity the choir participated in school functions as well as giving off—campus concerts. This year the group sang at Homecoming, the Christmas Chapel, and ended the year at Spring Carnival singing the musical score from Anything Goes . Other activities included several church concerts and an afternoon of singing at high schools in the Pittsburgh vicinity. Unfortunately, the trip to Niagra Falls was cancelled at the last minute, but the officers are attempting to arrange a similar excursion for next fall. The program covers nearly twenty different sports ranging from touch football in the fall to softball in the spring. Many individual and group sports may be found in the program. Trophies are awarded to the winners. INTRAMURAL BOARD The Intramural Board has an important role in the present program. The Board is student governing body which has direct contact with the program; works out rules and regulations and changes; decides on protests and, when necessary, on forfeits. In cooperation with the Supervisor of Intramural Athletics, it devises plans for additional sports activities. INTRAMURAL MANAGERS' CLUB The Intramural Managers' Club is made up of a representative from each organization and team. This manager represents his organization's interests in the formation of plans and policies. Close cooperation between the Managers' Club and the Intramural Board is nesessary for the smooth workings of the Intramural Program. David See, Supervisor of Intramural Athletics The Directors D.

FOOTBALL In the finest intramural football race in recent years, the Alpha Tau Omega squad captured the school championship by defeating the Kappa Sigma aggregation in a hard fought, yet exceptionally clean game. As can be seen from the score, 29-25, the boys from Clyde Street gave it all they had but in the last 15 seconds Bart Bartocci flipped the winning touchdown pass to John Muller to snatch the victory out of the grasp of the K Sig six. The ATO team then went on to represent Tech in the city championship playoff. The 'Tittle boys on the corner gave an excellent account of themselves by defeating Duquesne to the tune of 38-27 before going down to defeat at the hands of a more experienced Phi Delt six from the Skyscraper University.

This year there v ere three leagues with seven teams in each. The top two teams in each league entered the playoffs. The individual league races were very exciting this year, especially in the Tartan League with the ATO's, Kappa Sigs, and SAE's finishing the regulation season deadlocked in first place. In a hard fought league playoff the SAE team was eliminated; so the ATO's and KS's represented the Tartan League in the school playoffs. In the Kiltie League the Delts swept the honors with a record of 6 and 0, with the TX’s finishing second. In the Skibo League the Delta Upsilon squad took the measure of the other six teams to win the league with an unblemished record. The Sigma Nu's copped second place honors.

Twenty-three organizations including A' and B teams from most of the fraternities entered their 6-man teams. Four leagues were formed with the top two teams in each league going into the playoffs. Competition was very close in all of the leagues. In the Tartan League the campus champs. Alpha Tau Omega, posted a 5--0 record to capture first place honors but were followed closely by the Faculty Bulldogs. The Kiltie League found the Phi Kappa A team emerging the winner while the Theta Xi entry posted a 4-1 chart. Kappa Sigma A took top laurels in the Skibo League with Sigma Nu A”. Obelisks, and Phi Kappa B in second place, each posting a 3-2 record. The Pipers League was represented in the playoffs by the first place team. SAE.

Out of the 35 team entries ATO ”B and Sigma Nu won the Plaid League, ATO A and Commanches the Skibo League, DU A and Kappa Sigma B the Tartan League, and the Rockets and Kappa Sigma A the Kiltie League. As part of the Intramural Night ceremonies the finals of the school basketball championship was played. The game matched the first and second teams of the Kiltie League-the Rockets and Kappa Sigma A . With less than six seconds to play and the K Sigs in front 48-47, Don Hrosik of the Rockets intercepted a KS pass and sent the ball through the hoop. The stunned KS team immediately took time out with less than 1 second to play. Before they could get the ball in bounds the whistle blew and the Rockets had won the year's closest intramural game. The game was excellently played by both teams. Great spirit and hustle made the game one of the best ever to be witnessed by Tech students.

Four leagues were proposed with 6 teams in each league. This year a strong team was top seeded in each league so no league would have two potential winners ;n it. The Sigma Nu' emerged the campus winner having beaten strong Kappa Sigma and Obelisk teams. The results of this season were strange for the Sigma Nu's, though top sedded in their league, were not expected to emerge the winners. However, by playing spirited and heads-up ball, they were able to come from behind in both games in the playoffs to win the championship. Due to poor weather conditions only the first place team in each league was entered in the playoffs. In the Plaid League the Kappa Sigs sported an unblemished record of 5--0 with the Graduates following with 4-1. The Tartan League found Alpha Tau Omega and Tau Delta Phi tied for first place and thus necessitating a playoff. ATO won to make their record 5-1. The Phi Kappa team, Okalays, and the Obelisks A ended their regular season with identical 4-1 records. In the playoffs for the league title, the Obelisk team trounced on Phi Kappa 17-2. The Kiltie League was won by Sigma Nu who had a 5-0 record followed by the Metals Club with a 4-1 chart.

This year's meet proved to be much better organized by the fraternity men for eight of the previous eleven records were broken in both track and field events. The winning Alpha Tau Omega aggregation can attribute their victory to a well balanced team. They placed men in all the events except the 220 yard dash and the two lap relay. The old record for this event was 1:56.1. It proved to be one of the most exciting races of the day. Second place ended in a tie between Kappa Sigma and Sigma Nu. (The ATO's won over the KS's last year by one point! ) This year the ATO's put together the distant running of Bob Kovacevic who captured firsts in the mile and the 880 with freshman Ivan Poe's field strength, to take first place events. Their team total of 64 points out of 164 proved to be the largest margin tallied by one organization. The only other individual firsts were by A1 Schell who set a record in the shot with a throw of 45' 9”. and Dick Fieler who broke his own records in the 100 and 220 dashes v ith times of 11.3 and 24.9 seconds respectively.

Many of the games during the regular season were rained out so that it was well into the softball season before the championship was decided. The finals proved to be very exciting. It was a clean, hard-fought battle between the ATO's and the Orientals. The game had to be decided in a sudden death overtime period. In the first quarter the fine offensive playing of the Orientals kept the ATO's in their own territory. However, in the second period when Koko Lay of the Orientals put through an indirect kick the ATO's began a little offense of their own. John Daniels tied the score in the opening minutes of the third but again Koko scored on a smasher from far out. Before the period ended ATO had added another goal to tie the score. In the sudden death overtime Bill Dosey put in a 15 foot kick to win the crown for the Aipha Tau's.

The championship was won by three teams — DTD. SAE, and an Independent team. The following won their weight divisions and represented Tech in the city competition: Ed Piatnik, SAE-123; John Berkenhamp, Ind.-137; Bob Fields. Ind.-147; Jack Delbrook, SAE-157; Joe Belot, PK-167; Neil Durdaller, SN-177; and Jay Murray, KS-heavyweight. In badminton Jack Rugheimer was tops on the list and in co-rec doubles he and Marge Forester won the crown. In the water polo finals the ATO team downed BSR to capture the trophy. SN literally swam away with the swimming championship. The final results showed SN with 45 pts. followed by ATO with 24, PKA, 22, DTD 20, and KS 18. In winning the SN's placed first in 5 of the 7 events and added many other seconds to compile their total. In a closely contested match the Obelisks beat the Beta Sigs 3-2 to win the call pool trophy. Keith Kelsey was the big gun for the winners, as he played on the winning doubles team and won his singles matches 21-23 and 21-17. Intramural Athlete-of-the-year Each year at Spring Carnival the Tartan presents the intramural athlete-of-the-year award. This year the award was won by Keith Kelsey, an electrical engineer senior. The award given only to seniors is based on two points: all-around sports ability and sportsmanship and participation in the activities which promote the intramural program. Keith, a member of the Obelisks Club, participated in almost every Obelisk Club function. He was a member of the Managers' Club and the Intramural Board and, as a pitcher, was chosen for the all-star softball team. The selection was made by the members of the Intramural Managers' Club and the Intramural Board. SPRING The foul shooting championship was won by the Delta Upsilon team by collecting 367 points out of a possible 500 with the runnerup Obelisk team collecting 334. Beta Theta Pi by scoring 1077 points won the rifle matches. The winners were paced by John Herr, who. in scoring a record 289 out of 300, fired 100 prone, 94 kneeling, and 95 standing. In bowling the Delts became the trophy winners by rolling the following scores: DTD—815, 750, 740 SN—748, 717, 758. Horseshoes was completely dominated by the SAE's. The winning team of Dave Colborn and Ken Greider defeated Bill Keyser and Ron Fahle, also of SAE. 15-21, 24-20, and 21-16. Keith Kelsey Dean Martin £ Jerry Lewis, Judges for the 1955 THISTLE QUEEN Fun, fun, fun! That's what we usually think of when we hear the names of Dean Martin and lerry Lewis. However the staff cornered” these two comedians into showing their more serious side, completely unlike any roll which they have portrayed in movies such as This Is the Army or Three Ring Circus , and had them select this year's Thistle Queen from a group of 11 nominees. After looking over the photos of these girls, Martin and Lewis chose Mrs. Jean Bremmer Wallace as our 1955 Thistle Queen. Jean, a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. • hails from Allison Park, Pa., and graduates this year from MMCC with a degree in Home Economics. Her court, consisting of three, is: Jean Turri, a senior general studies major from Monongahela, Pa., Delta Gamma; Jimmy Fam, a home economics major from Cairo, Egypt, Delta Gamma; Diane Bobinski, a senior home economics major from Long Island, New York, Chi Omega. To Jean and her court Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, along with the Thistle staff, extend their heartiest congratulations and good wishes. These four girls, representatives of the senior class, have every right to be proud; and we hope that the future is as good to them as their four years here at Tech have been. (Diane (Bob ins Id Phil Jeske Barbara Hall Stan Rosenberg Joanne Boyd The 1954 Homecoming was once again opened with the Carnegie Day Ceremonies held in the Tech gym. Between musical selections presented by the Kiltie Band and Cameron Choir, Barbara Hall introduced the speakers: Frederick S. Bloom, ME '21, Dr. J. C. Warner and Mr. Dale Strick. Calls and awards were made by the various honor societies, at which time Tau Delta Phi was awarded the C. F. P. Scholar-Ship Cup and Kappa Kappa Gamma received that of the Pittsburgh Panhellenic Association. The Homecoming Queen coronation climaxed the ceremonies. Escorted by the Kiltie Pipers. Gayle Saxon, followed by her attendants lo Ann Lacey, Rita Menke, Sherry Ehlers, and Susan Stryker, entered under the canopy of drawn sabres of Scabbard and Blade. After President Warner crowned Gayle, the Little King , as portrayed by Ray Bevelacque, sang and danced his tribute to the Queen. HOMECOMING QUEEN The Queen and Her Court o axon TECH BEATS W J 21 - 0 Washington and Jefferson's Presidents were Tech's opponents Saturday afternoon at Forbes Field where the Tartans were cheered to a 21-0 victory. Before the game, the Homecoming queen and court entered the field in Li'l Abner style, as an entertaining saga was read over the loudspeaker. In honor of the skit, some of the cheerleaders wore short skirts a la Dogpatch. VARSITY VARIETIES FIRST PLACE — Kappa Kappa Gamma SECOND PLACE — Alpha Epsilon Phi Saturday night found the men's gym and Thistle Hall crowded with Techites dancing to the music of Baron Elliot and Benny Benack and their orchestras. The gym was decorated colorfully with large reproductions of various comic strip characters on a background of funny papers. At 11:00 the awards were announced. The Pledge Cheer award went to Sigma Nu fraternity. Alpha Tau Omega was the proud recipient of the first-place display award, which won for its depiction of Gordo, the W J bull. Theta Xi's dragon from Alley Oop won second place, while DU's Jiggs of Bringing up Father fame, sliding down a bannister, came in third. At 2:30 Friday afternoon, a large crowd assembled in the Morewood Rec Room to watch the seven sororities compete for first place with their Varsity Varieties skits. KKG's When Knighthood was in Flour , which won first place, told of Prince Valiant involved in a garter raid at Misty Morewood . Little Lulu in Greek Chorus and entitled Virgin Urchin was AEPhi's second place winner, and Chi Omega's China Night , based on Terry and the Pirates, won third place. The other skits were Theta's Adam's Idioms , DG’s Pink of Blue”, involving many comic strip characters in a McCarthy trial. Tri Delts The Divine Comedy , and Sog Kap's The Jackson Twins .

One night was devoted to this occasion at which displays were presented and viewed by hundreds of high school students, parents, and Tech students. Due to the hard work of all the inner activities of Carnegie Tech were made known to the public. ROTC CADETS SALUTE HONORARY COLONELS Honorary Lt. Col. First Bn.—Pat Hoyer ary Lt. Col. Second Bn.—-Lin Smith rary Lt. Col. Third Bn.—Fran DiMatteo Military Ball, the annual formal dance sponsored by Scabbard and Blade, returned once more in all its pomp, circumstance and military elegance on December 11. 1954. Held in the gym, which was decorated with the various arms and banners of Scabbard and Blade, Pershing Rifles, and ROTC, the dance lasted from 9 PM to 12 PM, and attracted a good sized crowd of military, as well as civilian, gentlemen and their guests. Tommy Carlyn and his orchestra played for the grand affair. At eleven o'clock, the members of Scabbard and Blade formed an aisle for the queen and her court, the Honor Guard forming a canopy of sabres to the stage. Colonel Campbell presented Pat Hoyer, Lyn Smith, and Frannie Di-Mateo with medals of honorary Lieutenant Colonels, and Joan Weber, Military Ball Queen, with the medal of honorary Colonel. Scabbard and Blade and Pershing Rifles made calls for their new members during the intermission. Military Ball onorar GREEK SING ... SWING Second place in fraternity competition went to Alpha Tau Omega and third to Kappa Sigma. Tri-Delts took second place in sorority competition and the third place cup was awarded to the Delta Gammas. An unexpected highlight of Greek Sing was the Delt presentation of the Nightmare , an original Greek-Chorus type composition. Speaking rather than singing the chorus plus khakies .white bucks, and oxford-grey blazers provided a bit of comic relief in the evening’s program. With congratulations and trophy christenings, the Greeks tucked away their pitch-pipes, batons, and best sopranos and tenors for another year. First Place Beta Theta Pi Bringing to a climax weeks of arranging and rehearsing was Tech's annual Greek Sing and Swing Weekend sponsored by Pan-Hel and CFP. At the Swing in Syria Mosque ballroom Saturday night a large crowd witnessed the awarding of trophies to the winners of Greek Sing competition held in Carnegie Music Hall Friday evening. Beta Theta Pi, third place winners in 1954, came to the fore to merit the first place cup. With George Candler as director, the winners did Cave Sedem and Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor . Kappa Kappa Gamma was awarded the first place trophy; led by Janet Jerles, the Kappas did Snow Legend and Finale . First Place Kappa Kappa Gamma Second Place Alpha Tau Omega Second Place Delta Delta Delta Third Place Kappa Sigma Third Place Delta Gamma Lysistiala, High Tor, Autumn Garden, Much Ado About Nothing, and The Rivals constituted the playbill of the Tech Drama Department in its 1954-1955 theatre season. As usual these productions were highlighted by the portrayals of student actors under the direction of the faculty members headed by Henry Boetcher. The scenery and lighting, outstanding because of their professional caliber, were designed by student members of the department and gave an added touch to the shows. Much Ado About Nothing, the annual Shakespearian production, was perhaps the year's most spirited performance. This spritely farce comedy was directed by Henry Boetcher, and although retaining its classical line of movement and dialogue, it was easily understood and enjoyed. In accordance with typical Shakespeare, the love affair of Beatrice and Benedict and the burlesque shennani-gans of Dogberry provided many memorable moments of good theatre. What happens when a man discovers that his picture of life has been an illusion and a joke? This question was answered in Anton Chekov's Uncle Vanya which, directed by Allen Fletcher, proved to be the most moving and fully developed production of the year. A human comedy, full of tragic overtones, the play presented controlled portrayals of parts that could have easily been overacted. Authentic Russian settings were provided for, and subdued tonal lighting contributed its share to the intensity of the presentation. Mary Morris, Charles Moore, and Henry Boetcher were responsible for the success of the other four Drama Department efforts. SCOTCH 'N SODA 'V'i dP- Scotch and Soda, as a predecessor to Spring Carnival, once again got the campus in the mood for the glorious, prolonged week-end. Opening May 2, the show continued for four nights, thus completing 13 years of successful performances for the club. This year's production, Adults Only was Pittsburgh's first completely original comedy of the year . The play centered around Linda Lu Beauchamp (Judy Dunkle), a southern belle who proved to be quite grown up in comparison to what the staff of the prominent magazine, Bon Vivant. presupposed. When Peter Kimbrooke (Chuck Walsh) found out what his baby bundle , Linda Lu, was like in true flesh, Dan Cupid's arrow hit. Mousie Bruno as Miss Fink was her usual effervescent self, and no one will ever forget the rendition of Zonk by Billy Fish and the Four Flats. Many hours of hard work and rehearsing proved successful as once again Scotch and Soda lived up to its name by presenting a show which will live in the minds of its viewers. SPRING CARNIVAL BOOTH COMPETITION FIRST PLACE — Pi Kappa Alpha SECOND PLACE — Kappa Sigma Spring Carnival of 1955, Frolics International©, was one to be remembered, as the spell cast upon Tech's campus was finally broken. Yes, this year we had clear, sunny skies the entire weekend, and dust to compensate for the traditional mud. Early in the week reformc .on of the cut began. The carnival troops had arrived and the booths and rides were erected. Starting Thursday, continuing through Saturday, carnival goers could be seen carrying stuffed animals, tom-toms, Indian piggy banks, and a various array or ornaments as they completed their tour of the frat booths. Shrill screams from the direction of the Octopus, Tilt-a-Whirl, or Loop-OPlane completed the carnival atmosphere. The booths this year were bigger and better than ever before, since they were the basis for frat competition. PiKA came up with an idea which merited the first place trophy award. Keeping with the Carnival theme, the Pikas carried an Oriental idea throughout their booth called Dart House of the August Moon. As the name suggests, the booth featured a dart game and was complete with bamboo shades, fish bowls, and people dressed in Japanese costumes. The second place trophy went to the Kappa Sigs for their Russian Hunt booth which featured a shooting gallery. The Delts took third with a booth designed to look like a tent on the Arabian Desert. Here a game of chance, run by people complete with costumes and flowing beards, was enjoyed by all. QUEEN CAMPAIGN QUEEN CAMPAIGN After two weeks of madly rushing around, putting up posters and banners, dancing at the various frat houses and displaying legs, the sorority girls collapsed. Costumes were packed away, and no more sailors, Egyptians, snowmen, cow girls, pirates, or Parisians could be seen. Carnival Queen campaign was over, and the frantic wait for election results to be announced was on. Then the big day arrived. Friday afternoon on Flagstaff Hill Dr. Warner crowned Diane Bobinskl 1955 Carnival Queen; and she in turn officially opened the festivities. The royal court consisted of Barb Hall, Sarah Hailperin, Jimmy Fam, and Bookie McGinley. Selections by the Kiltie Band and Cameron Choir were presented, and a general welcome and introduction of calls was made by Leb Brown, acting as master of ceremonies in the absence of Bob Livingston. CORONATION CALL DAY Queen and Court Dianne Bobinski, Jimmy Fam, Sarah Hailperin, Barb Hall, Bookee McGinley 1955 Spring Carnival Queen and Court—Jimmy Fam, Barbara Hall, Queen Diane Bobinski, Dorothy McGinley, Sarah Hailperin ?955 Sprint Carnival an Queen and Court—Jimmy Fam, Sarah Hailperin, Diane Bobinski, Dorothy McGinley, Barbara Hall Queen SWEEPSTAKES Friday morning found the fraternity boys with their buggies in front of Maggie Murph awaiting the start of the preliminary heats. During this time the Phi Kap's beautiful black buggy was chosen first in design. By some strange coincidence the top six buggies entitled to compete in the finals Saturday were the entries of only three fraternities, ATO, PiKA, and KS. Spectators saw the ATO's capture first place by setting a new record of 2:26.0. Second place was also won by the ATO's, and PiKA took third place honors. As a surprise feature of the event, Harry's Boys Club entered a buggy pushed by Tech track team members. PLANK JOUSTING Mud” and we didn't even have rain—that was the surprised cry of any strangers who happened to walk by the Uuion Saturday afternoon. For the second year the frat men had a splashing good time as they fought to win the plank jousting contest. After a week of practicing, endeavoring to make their feet curl around the 4 inch plank which was placed over a sea of mud, the boys finally proved their abilities, but not before many toppled into the mud as the result of an extra hard push from their opponent's pillow. From the 16 competing teams the Kappa Sigs finally reigned victorious after a hard battle with the PiKAs, who were awarded the second place trophy for their efforts. The Sigma Nu B and Phi Kap teams battled against the winners in the semi-finals. The rule that a man who knocks his opponent off the plank must remain on the plank for four seconds afterwards caused several otherwise victors to lose their points. Even though a few in the audience got splashed, all agreed that it was good fun and enjoyed the sport . SORORITY COMPETITION Immediately following coronation, the crowd moved to Fine Arts Lawn to attend the relay races where the ladies of the campus displayed their athletic abilities. Each sorority entered a team of 14 girls. The races included a Wheelbarrel race, sack race, water balancing race, ping pong blowing contest, animal imitation race, and a shoe scramble. The contests were all very close as the Kappas managed to squeak through with a one point victory over the Dee Gees and the AEPhis finished third in total points. It was generally felt that the sorority competition helped make the Spring Carnival week-end more enjoyable. EGG THROW Anyone for scrambled eggs? That's about what we had when the second straight year the Faculty Egg Throw took place on the Fine Arts steps under the sizzling sun. Bloodthirsty rooters thronged the event to see the profs display their 'other' selves. What is it with the Psychology Department? Have they begun to psychoanalyze eggs? At any rate, the strong armed psychologists again captured the trophy as Gilmer and Gregg managed to lob the egg 17 feet further than last year to set a new record of 103' 4 . DANCES AWARDS By the light of the silvery moon —these were the words thought of as the Techites made their way to Danceland in front of Engineering Hall Friday night under the rays of a full moon. Whatever the train of thought, it was quickly broken as the music of Walt Harper and his Boys came to ear. Fast moving jumps, as well as a few slow tunes, found the cats of the campus rockin' and rollin'. A large crowd, both participants and spectators, jammed the streets to be entertained by the jazz session. By 12 the chilly and tired dancers called it quits for the evening and made their way wearily across the cut. Bringing to a climax a weekend never to be forgotten was the formal held in the gym Saturday night. Art Mooney and his orchestra were featured and were well received by a large crowd. The Frolic Internationale theme was carried out in the dance decorations which included travel posters, flags, and mammoth balloons, all set off by colored lights. At 11PM the awards were presented by Queen Diane Bobinski and ODK Spring Carnival committee chairman, Phil Jeske. The dance ended in the wee hours of the morning, and practically everyone rushed off to a fraternity breakfast to regain his strength. The end of four happy years .. . GRADUATION Accompanied by the Department of Music Orchestra conducted by Samuel Thaviu, seniors and graduate students marched into the Syria Mosque for their final sendoff from Carnegie Tech. Following what seemed like an endless, but fast—moving line of candidates for degrees, the R. O. T. C. men were presented with their commissions and after a brief address from President Warner the Recessional began. There was a mad rush to doff caps and gowns, and to claim misplaced diplomas. Then graduates and students battled the rain and traffic to make their way to the President's reception at Morewood Gardens. With many congratulations recieved, sighs of relief and melancholy, the Class of 1955 bid goodbye to the faculty and friends to embark on their new careers and join the ranks of Tech alumnai. May each one have a happy and succesful future. % And now it is all over COMPLIMENTS FORD MOTOR COMPANY FIELDS OF OPPORTUNITY PURCHASING • ENGINEERING • MANUFACTURING ACCOUNTING • FINANCE Contact your college placement officer or write: Manager, Salaried Personnel Department, Industrial Relations Staff, Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Michigan.

Ttxrop is an AllisOulmcrs trademark. ALLIS-CHALMERS For Information call the Allis-Chalmers District Office in your locality or write to Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company, Milwaukee I, Wisconsin ••t was looking for an engineering job, A but I wasn't very sure just what phase of this broad field would interest me most. I didn't know whether I wanted straight engineering, sales engineering, production or some other branch of industrial engineering. “Allis-Chalmers Graduate Training Course gave me a means of working at various jobs—seeing what I liked best— and at the same time obtaining a tremendous amount of information about many industries in a very short time.” Experience Typical “My experience is typical in many ways. I started the Graduate Training Course in 1946, after three years in the Army. My first request was to go to the Texrope V-belt drive department. From there I went to the Blower and Compressor department : then the Steam Turbine department. By the time thccoursewascomplctcd in 1948, my mind was made up and I knew I wanted sales work. I was then assigned to the New York District Office and in 1950 was made manager of the Syracuse District. The important thing to note is that all Allis-Chalmers GTC's follow this same program of picking the departments in which they want to work. “Best of all. students have a wide choice, for A-C builds machines for every basic industry, such as: steam and hydraulic turbine generators, transformers, pumps, motors and other equipment for electric power; rotary kilns, crushers, grinders, coolers, screens and other machinery for mining, ore processing, cement and rock processing. Then there is flour milling machinery, electronic equipment and many others.” A Growing Company “In addition, new developments and the continuing growth of the company offer almost endless opportunities for young engineers. “From my experience on the Graduate Training Course, I believe it is one of the best conducted in the industry and permits a young engineer to become familiar with a tremendous variety of equipment—both electrical and mechanical—which will serve him in good stead in his future profession.” Ball Mill grind ore for large copper producer.

What has been included represents long hours of unselfish effort on the part of a hardworking staff ... we have chosen what we felt %vere the outstanding events and acknowledgements to be contained in the yearbook, and put forth our greatest genius to produce a distinctive edition. In the late hours of a June evening as the book is about to be sent off to the publisher, it is hard to be confident that the '55 THISTLE will be a sucess. I do believe, however, that the work that has been done represents some of the finest individuals on campus, and that each one intended to make this book not just another THISTLE, but a fine example of the talents so representative of Carnegie Tech. To the many readers and unnamed volunteers who assisted the Staff, to the Hurley Publishing Company, the Mueller Art Cover Company, Gimbles Photo-Reflex Studio, and our advertisers, sincere thanks. To the faculty, administration, students, and graduates of Carnegie Tech, good luck and may God bless you. ■V
