tHE ease 4-2 chibi eG ieOuR FOREWOR D Once again the Tech man pauses in his quest for knowledge and reminisces on a year flown by — a year that has been filled with work and study: and� good. times. —.a.year. that hasbeen marked as one of the most important in the his- tory of GeneralMotors “Institutes =This impor: tance is shown by the ever-growing part G. M. 1 has been taking in the defense of the life that we in the Western World love. With Victory as its goal, Tech is striving to step up the war effort to a maximum, not only to train American men for defense in American industry, but also by offering technical training to selected men from the nation's armed forces. It is our earnest hope that the hours spent at Tech shall never grow dim, and that by glancing through these pages later in life, the highlights of this year can be relived for a few moments. DEDICATION This annual is dedicated to a man who is known to students as a quiet type of executive who says little but does much. Mr. Harris has been with the Institute for thirteen years, and has been Chairman of the Drawing and Design Department for the last four years. With a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Michi- gan State College, his demands for accuracy are well appreciated by the students who can always obtain help from him whenever they have diffi- culties. Under his able leadership, the student branch of the S. A. E. has grown to be the larg- est chapter in the country. Mh. bk. K. HARRIS CONTENTS Panmistration ©, N.2o.

DAVIDSON MR. McCUEN MR. OLSEN MR. WETHERALD MAJOR ALBERT SOBEY Major Albert Sobey has been the director of the Institute since its foundation, twenty-two years ago. Through his foresight he visualized the value that could be gained by offering a technical training that was designed specifically for application in in- dustry. Through the courage of his convictions he has worked toward that end, and the progress and growth of the school have proved his theories to be fact. Always on the go, his recent activity has been principally in the form of business trips to all parts of the nation, assisting plants in selecting new stu- dents, and developing training programs for groups of men in industry and in the services. Mr. Cowing is one of the men to whom G.M.T.E. owes its existence. Assistant Director of the Insti- tute for twenty years, he has devoted much of his time and efforts to the development of our organi- zation. In the past year Mr. Cowing has been en- gaged in a study of the problems that have arisen in connection with the extensive army training pro- gram recently inaugurated at Tech. However, he can look with pride upon the progress of G.M.T.E., since his influences predominate in the organiza- tion as it is today. MR. GUY R. COWING REPRESENTATIVES Our contact men—the dealer-outers of flunk slips, coordination reports, senior projects, and other things. During our work months they are our counselors, patiently planning our educational pro- grams and guiding us through our courses so that we can get the most out of our cooperative pro- gram. It is through the efforts of these men that we are trained to serve industry more effectively. TOP PICTURE—Left to Right First Row: H. E. Willmore, J. T. McWilliams, G. L. Kliger, Major A. Sobey, A.

During the past year the student body was increased at mid-year by the introduction of a mid- term freshman class. Coupled with the increased student enrollment, the faculty also grew. Although many of these new instructors weren't familiar with the systems employed at the Institute, the increased student enrollment was handled with ease and dexterity. Much credit must be given for the faculty's efforts in this unusual situation. (Picture No. |) DEPARTMENT OF STUDENT RELATIONS AND RECREATION R. J. Fous, R. K. Gebstadt, Chairman H. T. Kinley, D. E.

The completion of the new gymnasium and north wing addition was a memorablé occasion for those who noted its progress throughout the year. Built of reinforced concrete, the first floor was laid, and the gym walls were poured at the time of the photograph at upper left, taken on June 28, 1941. On August 5, 1941, the west wall:of the gym had been poured, and the third floor of the north wing was erected as shown at the upper right. Both additions were nearing completion on October 28 and were completed in early December as shown by the two center shots.

In recognition of his achievements at Tech, Lloyd had the unusual distinction of having been initiated into both the A.T.l. and Robot Honorary Fraternities. He was instrumental in deciding the poli- cies of Phi Tau Alpha, and as a result of his active interest he was elected Vice- President in his senior year. Vernon has had a well-rounded life at G. M. Tech. He has always been equal to an occasion, whether it was helping to attain scholastic achievements for Phi Sigma Phi, or going out with the boys for some good clean fun. Loyal to any cause, Vernon has an aggressive nature and will argue until midnight about any- thing he thinks is right. Camp's favorite pastime is to explain the theories of all the famous scientists who have preceded him.

Always several jumps ahead of everyone else in the class except on the rarest of occasions, Floyd should make good at anything in the manufac- turing game. Harry's work at New Departure proved so valuable to that organization that he found it necessary to finish the second semester of his senior year by extension. A quiet individual whose decisions were based on careful forethought, Harry proved his popularity when he was elect- ed presidetn of Gilgal fraternity. Bob served as president of the Gamma Mu Tau fraternity in his senior year and handled his position in an excellent man- ner. His cheerful manner of helping fel- low students gained for him a wide cir- cle of friends. Tall, good-looking and a smooth talker, he didn't give the poor girls a chance with his personality and natural leading ability. we Ne = SS OOO a Jim is a member of the White Elephant fraternity and hails from the deep South. Having worked at Chevrolet, Flint, Chev- rolet Parts and Service, and Allison, he has experienced a variety of service training courses which will hold him in good stead when he enters the Foreign Service for Allison as Service Represen- tative. The class of '42 presents Paul Heber as Royal Oak's gift to Flint from Esquire. His sharp'' manner of dress added a bit of variety on the campus, and his con- genial personality helped disprove the popular belief that all engineers are in- troverts. A member of Phi Sigma Phi fra- ternity, his good fellowship made him a valuable fraternity man. Chuck's endeavors at Tech have been marked by several highlights. His scho- lastic achievements merited A.T.!. recog- nition during both his junior and senior years, and while a sophomore he was sec- tional diving champ and an independent all-star in football.

Dave's geniality and good humor are things that every man in his class will re- member for a long time, and his per- sonality will certainly be an asset to him in his chosen field—selling Diesel Railway Equipment. As a member of the W hite Elephant fraternity and president of the Tech Club, Dave did much to promote the activities of those organizations. As a pledgemaster at Gilgal fraternity, Kirchoff's personality was in its true light. He will be remembered for his sincerity and willingess to work, as is evidenced by his participation in the affairs of the Tech Club, S.A.E., and Interfraternity Council. to Ew Soe OS, EE OT ellow, Bob right ahead i F|ectro-Motiv e organiza- ivision. busta in Ne who wo Dias ta thing han his complis a.

Kenny had a head start on most of the fellows in his class, since he had advance credits from Ball State University, Mun- cie, Indiana. Caught between two alter- natives, roller skating or studying, it was usually the study that suffered, and as a result his academic work lasted far into the night. Handicapped by a limited background in mathematics, Mac had to study harder than many during his first two years. Then, just as he was getting into the swing of things, the urgency of his job pulled him from the class rooms. Spurred on by a determination to graduate, and realizing the value of the education af- forded him, Ed worked hard to complete his schooling by a two months’ extension course. Four years of Don's good humor and home-spun philosophy enlivened life at Gamma Mu Tau. His bluff and swaqger didn't hide the good nature that promot- ed his activities and made him a valu- ble member of the Interfraternity Coun- cil, Tech Club, and S.A.E.

Eddie'’ was a brilliant mathematician who combined a fine sense of humor with the ability to do a conscientious job on any assignment which he was given.

Actively participating in school activities, Sweet Pea'’ made his presence known by his ready smile, good nature and sense of fair play.

The loss of Ivan's activities in fraternity affairs was keenly felt at Alpha Delta after his marriage during the last semes- ter of school. Red'' was one of their all around athletes and served as secre- tary and vice president of the fraternity. Joe's bid for individuality is his proud claim that he has never spent a week- end in Flint. A real independent and typical engineer, this husky lad spent most of his spare hours getting ‘Fanny’, his '33 Chevy, all primed for a fast get- away every Friday evening so that he could enjoy some weekend sailing and boat racing.

With the advantage of having five years of working experience behind him before his enrollment at Tech in 1938, Bill was elected Vice-President of Alpha Delta fraternity in his junior year. His re- served, well-placed opinions were often the deciding factor in many fraternity issues. He will be remembered by his all-out efforts in every phase of athletics. To mention Jack's activities at Tech is like leafing through the GMTE handbook. The highlight came in his junior year when he was made a Robot, followed close by elections which made him vice president of both the G.M.T.E. and also Phi Sigma Phi fraternity. To quote him, it can be said that his hobbies are ‘'tinkering with motors, golf, and women . Ww WN ES SOO Do eS Ever since his big frame first darkened JOHN J.

A member of the White Elephant frater- nity in his third year of study at the Insti- tute, Al was killed in a freak accident at the Saginaw Malleable Iron Division when the three-wheel truck he was driving overturned as it struck a pile of sand, pinning him un- derneath. It could be said that he died a Second Lieutenant on the home front, sacri- ficing his life in the defense plant so that the men at the war front might have the material with which to wage a victorious battle. For a short time we bid Al good- bye and Godspeed for he has left on a journey to a place of peace and rest where we shall soon join him. EARL WILLIAM RAY Words seem meaningless as we pay trib- ute to the first GMI casualty in World War Il. Earl William Ray, class of '42, enlisted in the Army Air Corps early in his junior year after establishing his name on the honor roll of the Publications Council and Phi Tau Alpha fraternity. During his train- ing at Kelly Field he was Editor of their annual Log Book . Bearing the wings of a Second Lieutenant Navigator, Earl was one of the crew of a large loaded bomber who deliberately took their own lives by crashing in a gravel pit to prevent injury to any civilians when their powerful engines faltered while on coastal patrol on Long Island New Year's Day. A tragic shock to us all, we who knew him best are sure he died in the way he would have wanted to die—serving his country. 36 The largest Junior class in Institute history, these men are now specializing in Product Engineering, Process Engineering, Transportation Enginéering or Tool and Die Design. Each of these courses re- quires intensive work and study, and the Junior Class has shown itself capable of becoming the well trained engineers which are so badly needed a TOP PICTURE, Left to right—Row |: W.Beck, W.

Their value in these fields cannot be underestimated since it is the only training of its type that was offered by the Corporation.

Not included in the pic- ture is Edgar Weber, ath- letic chairman. The executive council of the G.M.T.E. is the administrative body of Tech's student organization. At the beginning of the year, the council faced many problems. New difficulties arose out of the fact that the membership of the G. M. T. E. was doubled because of the increase in school enrollment. There was also the problem of reor- ganization that had to be solved when the council moved its headquarters into the Activities Center in the new building. The successful solution of these problems re- sulted in new methods put to use, new committees being formed, and new systems formulated for conducting this $11,000.00 student organization. In keeping with the all-out war effort, the G.M.T.E. actively supported the War Effort Committee through- out the year. 58 The Conference Committee functions as an advisory board for the G. M. T. E. Council in disciplinary and master budget policies. It also has the responsibility of interpreting the Constitution and By-Laws and keeping them current with prevailing opinion. The Committee this year is composed of six student members: Lloyd Britton, Harry Conwell, John Slack, John Wilson, Harry Wing, Samuel Yancey, and acting in an ad- visory capacity are three faculty members: Mr. Cowing, Mr. Gilbert, and Mr. Tobias. 59 Howard Most William Fogle William Erickson Richard Hartupee Robert Smiley Carl Hoffman The Publications Council is the student executive group responsible for the editing and distribution of all G. M. T. E. publicity and publications including the Reflector, Technician and Handbook. New policies and technique were developed over the past year which resulted in more efficient operation of the council and publications staffs. This year's publications chairmen were William Fogle and Robert Smiley. Sub- ordinating the chairmen were Howard Most and Richard Hartupee, Reflector editors, and William Erickson and Carl Hoffman, Technician editors. The Faculty Advisor was Robert Bob Tuttle who left us when called by the Army. Bob's place was taken by another Bob , R. S. Stanley of the English Department. 60 y, : Phas Ber or Kneeling: Lett to righ Robert Anderson James McDonald John Bogden Standing: George Job Chairman Edgar Weber Rudy Norquist James Heyne Fant | Chairman Jc co ! Conrad Noel ¥ aa Faculty Advisor Wesley Temming The Athletic Council promoted one of the most successful development programs in Tech history this year, receiving a powerful stimulus with the opening of the new addition and gymnasium on December 15. This project paved the way for athletic offices, an up-to-date shower and locker room, equipment crib, apparatus room, and the most modern gymnasium in Michigan—each contributing their part toward better health for the students. Reorganization of intramural athletics resulted in the dis- continuance of badminton, horse shoes, and the football and baseball tournaments. Swimming was conducted on a point basis (much like track) instead of team competi- tion as in the past. It can truly be said that this council turned in a fine piece of work through sincere effort. 6] L sepnh Coe WCummings Faculty Advisor Jim Apple Kneeling: Left to right R. Dunham J. Gethoefer L.

The Activities Council, commonly termed the Social Council, directed an un- usually large and varied social program throughout the past year. Bob Reid and Bill Moroney, council chairmen, interspersed the school calendar with mixer dances, mil- lionaire's parties, the Junior Prom and the school picnics. The addition of the new gym eliminated the financial responsibility of providing a suitable ballroom in which to hold the school dances. Consequently more money was spent in securing top notch entertainment, as evidenced at the Junior Prom where Tony Pastor and his orchestra furnished the entertainment.

This year for the first time the photographs in the book were taken almost exclusively by the Tech Camera Club. Howard Most directed the art and photographic work, while William Beck, assistant editor, and William Grant contributed greatly to the organization and literary make-up of the book. Small and large assignments alike were handled by the men of the staff, with the degree of inter- est and efficiency necessary to create a publication worthy of the school it represents. 63 Kneeling: Left to right— W.

The Technician, edited by William Erickson in section D and Carl Hoffman in sec- tion C, is issued semi-monthly and presents news of students and faculty, special events, sports, features, and the ever-present scandals of Tech men. This year saw the Technician rise to new heights when a Declaration of War ' extra was on the streets twenty minutes after war was declared. Also presented in this year's issues were pictures of the outstanding social and athletic events of the month. A larger and more efficient staff operating in the new Publications offices made possible a Technician of greater news interest and intrinsic value. 64 HANDBOOK STAFR % ray ne gh Pe ef stern ef t f ee 3 Front Row, left to right: Ogilvy Popham, Anthony Nowselski, James Keen, James Logan, Lowell Ruby.

T. E. Handbook serves as a glossary for student activities and associa- tions as well as a faculty and fraternity directory. It may be thought of as the helping hand to the freshman although it directly benefits the upper classman as well. Many words of wisdom and much accurate information must be collected in order to pub- lish a successful edition of this book. Editors Jim Keen and Lloyd Britton have done an excellent job of revising previous editions in a successful attempt to increase the value of the book to the entire student body. 65 Vice Chairman Babcock The Society of Automotive Engineers, under the leadership of Francis Babcock, vice chairman, and E. K. Harris, faculty advisor, have not limited their activities to studies of the automotive industry. Con- temporary production processes have developed to such an extent and with so many variations that the advantages of S. A. E. tours have increased many fold. This factor may explain the increased membership of the organization. Although the Institute branch of the S. A. E. was the largest in the country last year, its enrollment almost doubled this year. One of the most interesting trips taken by the S. A. E. was that of inspecting the Pratt Whitney Engine Departments of the Buick Division. After the tour, a dinner was served in honor of the group. Speakers for the occasion included the guides, government inspectors, and supervisors of the engine departments. This incident is typical of the courteous and hospitable attitude displayed towards the group by organizations through which they were privileged to tour. 66 The G. M. Tech Club is a representative group of men from the student body, chosen by their respective plants to meet periodically in order to hear and talk with men who hold high positions in the Corporation. This year the speakers included Mr. B. D. Kunkle, Vice President in charge of Manu- facturing; Mr. Albert Bradley, Vice President in charge of the Car and Truck Group and Mr. R. H. Grant, Vice President in charge of Sales. David Kendall, President of the club, promoted a year that was studded by excel- lent dinners and banquets which afforded the group a well balanced curriculum. 67 Front row: William Lewis, Elmer Croisant, Richard Crockett, Rich- ard Neal. é _ . 4 ce Me eat.” Ae ‘ Second row: Allen Vermilya, Eric Halverson, Dennis Crothers, al 2 Gy ie a hee ; John Egan, Chester Ferens.

A com- plete new dark room in the student activities ad- dition and increased funds from the Publications Council, helped to make this year stand out as a big step forward in the field of amateur photography at Tech. Of interest to all the members were the monthly pic- ture contests on subjects of current appeal. Prizes were awarded to the winning photographers whose pictures were posted on the bulletin board.

Swap Night This year saw Tech's Stamp Club become increasingly active as the year progressed. Their enrollment increased in proportion to their activities and the results were shown by the work which they accomplished. They assembled once monthly for the purpose of exchanging and discussing the most valued items in their collections. Some of the Stamp Club's achievements were the collection of censored covers, postal stationery, pre-cancels, first flight covers and famous American stamps, many of which were entered in the Hobby Show held in the IMA Auditorium. Guiding the Stamp Club throughout the year was President Morris Thomas who was assisted by Vice President Sterling Kimball. cm A Front row, left to right: Harold York, Conrad Noel, William Moroney, Harold I.

On May 29, a joint Student-Faculty War Effort Committee was announced by Major Sobey, its purpose being to promote ways and means of improving our con- tribution to war production and to insure our complete cooperation in the national war effort. Notable among the achievements of the W.E.C. was the awarding of a twenty- five dollar War Bond to the writer of the best essay entitled What are My Individual Responsibilities as a Student at G.M. Institute.'' In addition to providing an incentive to promote some thought along this line, the contest also served as a means of bring- ing before the student body the vital work of the Committee. 70 } Front row: Hoffman, Benson, Loup, Moroney, Keen, Collins.

Composed of two representatives from each of the eight social fraternities on the campus, the Interfraternity Council ee set yale 1 ees acts as a coordinator between fraternity activities and the In- stitute administration. Each fraternity is governed by the In- terfraternity Constitution which is established for the protec- tion and benefit of the individual organizations. Under the leadership of President Ron Loup, the Interfra- ternity Council enjoyed one of its most successful years. A program of fraternity dinner exchanges was carried out in or- der to promote closer fraternity relations. Other officers who contributed materially to the organization were Vice-presi- dents Francis O'Laughlin and John Slack, and Secretary-Treas- urers Roscoe Vineyard and Vincent Morrow.

Located at 817 East Kearsley Street, Gamma Mu Tau Fraternity was organized in 1928, although the charter was not grant- ed until 1932. Active in school athletic and social af- fairs, the fraternity's curriculum was. cli- maxed by a Christmas Party at which time the Gammas were host to a group of needy children. The cooperation of faculty members L. Wocholski, H. Briggs, R. Heine, N. Snyder, and F. Madden has been instrumental in upholding the high standards of Gamma Mu Tau during this successful year.

Founded in 1928, the Gilgal Fraternity has been residing at 703 Mason Street for years. Under the leadership of Harry Hall the fraternity has completed a very successful year. Listed among their year's social events was the annual Gilgal Alumni Day which was held at the end of the school year. At that time all of the active and alumni members get together and discuss pertinent fraternity issues and review past experiences. The honors for faculty membership are shared by J. P. Riebel and V. W. Irwin. “=r vw ry i = = =: —_— 4 — +4 = Vr ADDA DTNaITSs | a By wy IR Tuva Gt | A AP PP nor | Wat. Hi mn fw QD -_— = Ee. = A -_. sre PJ 4 a FT VJ 4 First row: L. Kruszewski, H. Ro damer, B.

Many links in the long chain of events which brought the Phi Kaps to their present po- sition indicate that this fraternity has al- ways been an industrious group. In addition to their participation in G.M. T.E. affairs, they have found time to do ex- tensive remodeling on their fraternity house during the past year. The faculty membership includes Messrs. H.

The end of this school year marks the successful com- pletion of the first year at their new resi- dence on 163! Neome Drive. Their active participation in school af- fairs is culminated each year by the annual Farewell Dinner-Dance given in honor of their graduating seniors.

Their activities of the year are highlight- ed by an Annual Dinner-Dance held in hon- or of the graduating seniors. The affair is keenly anticipated by the actives, and many alumni come back to visit the Alma Mater on this occasion. The Phi Sigs believe in faculty strength, for ten members of the Tech staff are among their group. The list includes Messrs. C. Brown, H. Dexter, F. Haskins, O. Leslie, S. Neilson, J. Proper, C. Strohl, W. Trathen, O. Whipple and J. White. 520 Liberty Street 84 The Robot Honorary Fraternity affords recognition for men who have been active in extra-curricular activity. Organized in 1928, membership is based on extra-curri- cular participation, leadership, and scholastic achievement. Although an honorary fraternity whose purpose it is to give recognition for outstanding work at school, the Robots also sponsor such events as the Robot Dance, the All Star Games, and the Archery Tournament. 86 Robert Klecka Charles Hinton Henry Wille, Jr. Lucien Dryer, Jr. Henry Paulsen Howard Vanderbilt Fredric Altman Lloyd Britton Edward Klimek John Schulte Paul Ford Wiliam route Harold E.

The Whi lephants also scored on an end run inthe overtime period of the consolation finals to whip the Phi Taus in a bitterly copgegted game. Phi Tau came fpack strong in Section B, piling up yardlllge and scores to take the championship. In their first game against a hard-fighting Phi Kap team, diminuitive Bob Pafffiuin carried the mail on the first pla a 60-yard right- end sweep behind t cellent blocking of Anderson, Haldeman and Taylor. A sleeper pass, Anderson to Taylor, was good for 40 yards and afffinal score of 14-0. The outstanding ga the season was the Phi Tau 26-12 win over the rival Gilgals in the championship figals. Stultz received credit for Gilgal's fst touch- down after a long march dowf™ the field. A sleeper pass, Anderson to Maflor, put Phi Tau deep in enemy territory, where Haldeman gathered in a pass in the end zone to tie the score. Andersom then went through center for a Phi Taufffcore, and a few minutes later a pass to Hgmm of Gilgal put the score at the halt at 13-12. Shortly after the opening whis- tle of the second half a see sleeper pass, this time Taylor to Anderson, was knocked into the air bys Gilgal player, but Haldeman swoof€ to carry it across the stripes fo dre.

Gamma Mu repeated its last year's victory to keep control of the four-month basketball plaque by capturing the monthly championships twice in a row, with White Elephant and Gilgal taking the last two months’ play respectively. Hopkins and Wood paced the Gamma team to a victory over Gilgal 15-9 in the Section A finals while Phi Tau whipped the Alpha Gams 18-16 for the consolation championship. Coming back strong in the second month's play- offs, Snideman, Moore and Ecoff sunk the long ones tor the Kearsley boys in a 35-29 win over a battling Phi Tau quintet led by Sloan and Patriquin. Phi Kap beat out Girton and his Phi Sig brothers for the consolation championship 29-18. The third month saw Cummings lead the green and white of the White Elephant five to success against the Alpha Gams to the tune of 21-15 after h-ving beaten Phi Tau 24-21 in the second overtime after a |7-|7 tie at the end of the second half. Kruszewski and Carolan helped the Phi Kaps over- come the Phi Sigs in the consolation finals. Hamm and Stultz played stellar ball to give the Gilgals a fourth month win for the championship over a hard-fighting Alpha Gam team paced by Schmunk and O'Dea 32-15 while Phi Kap again grabbed the consolation finals in a 17-12 battle with the Phi Taus.

In traditional style the new men were hazed throughout the week, and the offensive action was culminated by Freshman Class Day. Conditions were not favorable for the execution of a successful mud battle, so the sophomores did speak, and the mud did appear. The frosh groveled, and the sophomores were victorious in every contest held. The smoke was the thing as stogies and cigarettes were passed out at the evening program. Those fresh- men who were still capable of self-motivation staggered down to the front row of the auditorium and enjoyed the performance planned by the Activities Council. Marjorie Pierson vocalized, while shapely Jacqueline Miller contributed more than her bit to the even- ing's entertainment as she kept the Engineers on edge with her specialty tap dances. A successful day and a true introduction to Tech spirit hailed the start of a new career tor the freshmen Engineers. 106 Initiating the new gym into its role of a “hilarity hall for G. M. T. E. social activities, the Mixer Dances held in Sections B-D and A-C were compe eh successful. Ev Cowan furnished the music for the first Mixer held, while Max Jones came forth to supply the syncopation for the second Mixer, which was held for Sec. tion A-C. The Activities Coun cil did themselves proud in organizing and executing the dance plans. The gym was appropriately decorated and through the efforts of the council plenty of women were on hand to swing out with the Engineers who were determined to forget their worries for one evening. To add a bit of variety to the evening's entertainment, several of the obliging couples presented their version of the South American Rhumba and then proceeded to organize a Conga chain. Although it looked as though the fellows were 'zigging ’ when their partners were “zagging'’ the whole affair took on a festive atmosphere befitting the inaugural occasion. Another event which attracted a great deal of attention was the unannounced spot dance . A prize was awarded the lucky couple who were dancing the nearest to a designated spot when the music stopped. Summing up, it can be said without fear of contradiction that the Mixer Dances were the biggest and best social functions of their type yet to be held at Tech. Come one, come all! Get your tickets right here and now. Your G.M.T.E. card will give you fifteen chances at all of these fine prizes. These were the words echoing through the building heralding the sectional Million- aires’ Parties. As the numbers were drawn, many a Tech 'spendthrift'’ squandered his tickets recklessly. Those lucky individuals who held the winning numbers carried away shirts, ties, socks and other articles of wearing apparel. Even the less fortunate could not call the evening a loss, for all those who attended were given cigars and cigarettes, and a good time was the keynote of the evening. Look Fellows, A Pair of Shoes! Kinley Passed Out the Big Prize Mobley Showed the Boys How It was Done in the Old Days Section ''D Pledges Were Announcec Smiley Introduced Robot Pledges in Section ''C ’ Of All Things, Robot Yancey — Won the Robot Door Prize For the purpose of announcing their pledges of the year, the members of the Robot Honorary Activities Fraternity sponsored a dance in each section. These dances were the G.M.T.E. social activity for their respective months and served as an appropriate time to announce the Robot pledges. As a patriotic gesture, each couple attending bought a Defense Savings Stamp. The music by Bob Conklin's band was completely successful, and the pledges ob- viously enjoyed the attention given them by their dates after the impressive announce- ment of their pledgeship to the fraternity. The decorations were particularly novel. A nine-foot moving model of a robot was directly above the band platform. On either side of this large robot were six- foot replicas of the Junior Robot key. The large robot held a sparkling ''V ' for Victory in his moving hand as a constant reminder of one of the purposes of the dance. 109 The Robot Beats it Out Ce ee ei poe ee a eer The Gammas Won First Place Barney Rapp Himself For Their Plaque Alpha Atled Bliss for a Miss Give ‘Em Both Barrels Two in Love You Know Who INTERERATERNIT! 110 One of the finest dances of the year was spon- sored by the fraternities when the Interfraternity Council was fortunate enough to obtain Barney Rapp for the occasion. His unusual arrangements which were highlighted by the vocalization of beau- tiful Lyle Baird were well appreciated by the en- gineers and their dates. The gym was attractively decorated with colored lights, and drapes were suspended around the sides. Each fraternity had on display a plaque which car- ried the victory theme. The climax of the evening came when the Gamma Mu Tau fraternity was awarded a gold cup for their Victory Plaque.” Rosas the Rhumba Kid In LaConga Tempo Memory Lapses — Day Dreaming Tulips’ We Could Have Listened All Night The Major Talked of Student Unity Most Spoke Fraternity Solidarity With the advent of the Annual Inter-fraternity Banquet, another grand success was written into the annals of G.M.|. history.

His statément that one person in every twenty is at some time ad- mitted to an institution for mental illness made everyone a bit uneasy. However, he explained that many peculiarities are merely ‘normal abnormalities . Mr. McFaul's address was so impressive that many of the men stayed to have a personal chat with him after the banquet had been adjourned. 112 In recognition to those G.M.T.E. members who gave their services to the many student organizations throughout the year, the annual Banquet was held on Saturday, June 13, at the Capitol Hotel. At this last big get-together of student leaders, twenty-six keys were presented to officers, class representatives, and council chairmen. f Ernie Marsh, before presenting the new president, Bill Moroney, expressed his thanks to all of the Executive Council members and their subordinates for their work throughout the year in carrying out all of the functions of the G.MV.T.E.

The Junior Prom, unanimously ac- claimed as the outstanding event of the year, was held in the new Student Activities addition and utilized the lounge, cafeteria, and gym. Couples not desiring to dance, relaxed under soft colored lights and palm trees in the lounge or cafeteria while en- joying refreshments. 114 Typical of the music for the evening was Pastor's throb- bing rhythm which set many rusty feet to dancing. Mem- orable indeed were the wailing saxes, staccato trumpets, and beating drums in his original rendition of ''Paradiddle Joe . With a record breaking crowd on their hands, Bob Reid and Bill Moroney, Activities Council Chairmen, executed one of the most enjoyable evenings ever planned and held at G.M.I.

When the Government Gets All Metals, this is One Way to Plow Throughout the afternoon the Engineers enjoyed the contests staged under the capable direction of the Activities Council. The faculty downed the seniors in the traditional prof-upperclassmen baseball tilt, this for the second straight year. Doubt- lessly this was caused by the fact that the seniors had been giving the faculty the run- around for four years, so they gave the Deans of Education an opportunity to even the score. The barbecued beef and accessories provided for the hungry mob of Techmen were par-excellence. To all outward appearances it was a tribute to the success of the Activities Chairmen when they and their G.M.T.E. cohorts were thrown bodily into Potters Lake. It was in this swim session that H. Most, erstwhile Reflector editor, was literally torpedoed into the water, and dude Fogle had his stiff collar softened. When formal activities came to an end many of the Engineers retired to Potters Tavern for a hearty song fest while others returned to Flint, all convinced that another successful G.M.T.E. Picnic had been staged. SCHOOL PICNIC 117 The Major Bade Farewell to his First War Class Smiley, the Ladies' Choice Mac Told Us Where All the Money Went The Glee Club Furnished the Opening Harmony An appropriate climax for the class of '42 was the occasion of the Senior Class Day held in the school auditorium. Howard Most spotlighted the role of M. C. for the A-D class day, and Ed Hopper occupied the position of honor in section B-C. The purpose of the Senior Class Day is manifold. Held primarily as an occasion to review the accomplishments of the graduating class, it also served as an appro- priate time to award the athletic plaques and medals, introduce the outgoing mem- bers of G.M.T.E. Executive Council who in turn introduced their successors, and in- troduce representatives of the Robot and A.T.1. Honorary Fraternities. Major Sobey, in his farewell address to the graduating class, pointed out the grave responsibility resting on the shoulders of this group, since they were the first class to be graduated from G.M.I. during a period of war. To them fell the task of adopting themselves to do their best work in an industry which is geared to war time production. SENIOR CLASS DAY Sunday, August 16, marked another turning point in the eventful life of General Motors Institute, for on that day was held the first Baccalaureate exercises in the new auditorium. Rev. E. H. Longman, who was introduced by Major Sobey, gave the highlighting address, entitled ''l Believe . His sincerity and practical viewpoint touched the hearts of all the graduates, and they will join the ranks of past grads who remember Rev. Longman as a friend of the whole General Motors Institute family. The hymns in the program were led by our newly organized Glee Club, and a very excellent solo, The Lord's Prayer'’, was rendered by a new member of the faculty, Earl D. Black. Dr. Longman's Subject was | Believe Major Sobey Introduced Rev. Longman GS al Lf a | 1] served—Unspiked The fourth annual Alumni Day, under the direction of Mr. Edward A.

Kunkle, Vice-President of the G. M. Corporation in charge of Manu- facturing; Edgar Smith, secretary, Social and Economic Trends Committee; and Don Berlin, assistant to O. E. Hunt in Aeronautical Engineering were the speakers during the morning session. Luncheon having been served in the gymnasium, the group relaxed and Arnold Lenz, Chairman of the Board of Regents introduced the featured speaker of the day, Charles F. Kettering. ‘'Boss Kett'' delved into his vast store of experiences accumu- lated during his long association with the G. M. Corporation and flavored his speech with personal anecdotes in the presentation of his topic, ‘Looking Ahead. Cc ' fro m . 2Seniors R i? = DOSS Ke ' Cc ae . -xperiences COMMENCEMENT DAY Major R. G.

Grant Four-Year Grads Wore White C. L. McCuen, V. P. in Charge of Engineering Two-Year Grads Wore Black Friday evening, August 21, 1942, the first war class of General Motors Institute received their diplomas and certificates. The program was high-lighted by selections from a civic orchestra and the Elks Octette. A distinctive feature of this Commence- ment was the fact that it was the first class to be graduated in the new school gym- nasium. Mr. R. H. Grant, Vice-president of General Motors Corporation, gave the address of the evening, stressing the War Time Opportunities which these men face going out into industry during this time of world turmoil. Major Albert Sobey presented the classes of 1942 to Mr. Arnold Lenz, chairman of the General Motors Institute Board of Regents. Mr. Lenz in turn presented the diplomas and certificates to an impressive group of 363 students who were holding up impatient war industries who were clamoring for their services. As a climax to this elaborate affair, Major Sobey presented keys to 81 ten-year men as evidence of their achievements in the Corporation. 123 Saturday, August 22, the alumni, graduates, and a representative group of underclassmen enjoyed the Rhythm by Raeburn . From 9:30 till 1:30 on that event- ful evening the Engineers danced to the sweet music of Raeburn's saxophone and enjoyed the specialities pre- sented by Claude Humphreys on the drums. Hal Derwin took the vocal spotlight, featuring the latest hits. 124 The school gymnasium was attractively decorated with long folding drapes, palms, and multi-colored lights. Sum- mer semi-formal dress was in order, and the colorful even- ing gowns and smart men's attire added a festive note to the occasion that was a fitting send-off for the gradu- ates and an inspiration to the underclassmen. The Grad-Alumni Dance pulled the strings on the cur- tain of the year 1942 and opened a new life to all of the graduates. When Raeburn signed off and the graduates left the halls of the Institute to go forth and utilize the knowledge acquired in years of training, there were many a fond farewell and promises to get together at some future date, perhaps for a repeat performance of a Grad-Alumni Dance. 125 , To summarize a year at Tech is always a probleg New innnovations, MMetmods, and procedures are being inaugurateg M@onstantly Bp to start a real yeagmmt@f Ray Wampole gaigsigned a new Tech stick@ which has facapved enthusiastic accl@™ing Then a Same the Mithnician War Extra on Dgitanber 8.
