ees. eke ame REFLECTOR Fed oR 8 We eee AS WE COMPLETE OUR ENGINEERING TRAINING AT TECH, WE LOOK BACK ON FOUR YEARS OF FRUITFUL LEARNING, FINE FELLOWSHIP AND GOOD TIMES. BUT AS WE STEP OUT INTO THE WORLD, WE ARE FACED WITH A SERIOUS TASK, THAT OF CRUSHING A DELIRIOUS PAPER HANGER AND A SON OF THE MIKADO—TO BRING BACK THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIVING ... OUR TRAINING AT TECH HAS FITTED US TO SERVE OUR COUNTRY WELL. WE ARE IMMEDIATELY READY TO TAKE RESPONSIBLE POSITIONS IN INDUSTRY, AND WHEN THE MOMENT ARRIVES, WE ARE PREPARED TO TAKE OUR PLACE IN THE ARMED SERVICES AS “WAR ENGI- NEERS.” FOR THIS PREPAREDNESS, WE ARE THANKFUL... THEREFORE, WE ALL LOOK FORWARD TO AN EARLY AND DECISIVE VICTORY, FOLLOWED BY A PEACE DURING WHICH WE CAN LOOK THROUGH THESE PAGES AND RECALL BRIGHT MOMENTS AT OUR ALMA MATER. ; ‘Industry and the armed serwices united for uiclory and peace’” -- Lhe Men in Military Serice Published in a war year, this annual is dedicated to two groups who are bringing us daily nearer the peace and comfort of mind that all good Americans are dreaming of—the men and women on the produc- tion lines, and the men and women in military service. Included among those in production work are for- mer Tech men, all building better and stronger war equipment to hasten the day of Victory. To these war workers we are grateful for their perseverance and tireless insistence that our fighting men get the best products that can be made. On the fighting fronts, sacrificing their lives for the preservation of democracy and giving their time so that we at home may stay at home in safety, are the countless thousands of young men, including many Tech men who are wearing the uniforms of the United States. To these men we are all humbly thankful. May God protect them and keep them safe. 4 Editorial Staff... Because of the time taken in the preparation of this Reflector and the re- sultant confusion, some photographs and write ups were misplaced; conse- quently the Staff, feeling that it would be better to have an incomplete book than none at all, has published this year’s Reflector as completely as pos- sible under the circumstances.

E. WETHERALD MAJOR ALBERT SOBEY Major Albert Sobey has been the director of the Institute since its foundation, twenty-three years ago. Through his foresight he visualized the value that could be gained by offering a technical training that was designed specific- ally for application in industry. Through the courage of his convictions he has worked to- ward 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 students, and developing train- ing 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 Institute for twenty years, he has devoted much of his time and efforts to the development of our organization. In the past year Mr. Cow- ing has been engaged in a study of the prob- lems that have arisen in connection with the extensive army training program recently in- augurated at Tech. However, he can look with pride upon the progress of the G. M. T. E., since his influences predominate in the organization as it is today. Mh. GUY Rk.

CONFERENCE COMMUEPTEE (Left to Right) B. Campbell, W. Erickson, Mr. Spahr, Mr. Tobias, J.

Elliott (Standing) Chairmen John Gethoefer and Bob Savage of the Activities Council made the most of what started out to be a bad situation this year. All GMTE budgets were substantially decreased, and since the Activities Council receives no small proportion of the available funds, the pinch was felt on all sides. How- ever, the Council steered away from the relatively few large and spectacular affairs 62 BOTTOM PICTURE—D-5-4 (Seated) (Left to Right) F. Popham R. Black J. Gethoefer Mr. Apple P.

In the spring the Council maintained tradition by presenting the Junior Prom with Barney Rapp and his Orchestra.

The Publications Council departed from the beaten path of convention this year to widen its scope and recognize the efforts of many sub-editors not heretofore admitted to the Council. During the past year Chairmen William Beck and Carl Hoffman were ably assisted by Bob Miquelon and Jim Keen, 64 Technician editors. Bill Grant and Glenn Gordon worked hard to produce this year- book, and Don Hack gave the freshmen their first words of advice in the student handbook. Tom Mathues and Bob Burns served in the capacity of associate editors, Bob Miquelon and Jim Keen were the men responsible for putting a lot of students to work on one of the most “thankless” jobs GMTE has to offer. When a Technician “goes to bed”, the publications offices assume the headache of meeting a deadline with a last minute scoop, and often the Publications Office is still jumping at midnight. It is prob- ably this “big time newspaper” air that fascinates so many men. All in all, the editors, including Don Snet- camp, Tom Mathues, and Bob Burns, did manage to keep the news, fraternities, scan- dals, and sports covered in every issue. Here at Tech every year a quiet, unobtru- sive group is chosen to work and worry with their baby, the Reflector. This year the group was chosen jointly by Bill Grant and Glenn Gordon, editors. The staff included the photographers, Al Vermilya and John Spence; the writeup men, Tom Mathues, Don Hack, and Jim Keen; and the artist, John Hays. The duties of the staff are always explain- ed to them at the beginning of the year, but, after all, the book doesn't come out for sev- 66 eral months. So instead of working, they merely worry (collecting material!) But the day of reckoning comes every year, and this same dormant little staff must spring into violent action. Reams of paper and gal- lons of midnight oil pour in as supplies arrive for final action. Writeups, rewrites, correc- tions, layouts, and alterations are made, and after a few breakdowns the editors finally breathe a sigh of relief and come up with the finished article. (Left to Right) T. Deger, J. Hays, S. Yacus, D. Hack What is the first thing that the freshman is greeted with when he walks in the door of our “Trade” school? Yes, it is the GMTE Handbook, which serves as a glossary for student activities and associations, as well as a faculty and fraternity directory. For every freshman, the Handbook is a “Bible.” It is published with the idea that it will make 67 the new student's problem of orientation a great deal easier. This year’s Handbook, under the editor- ship of Don Hack, was revised with the idea of increasing the value of the book to the incoming freshmen, as well as to the dormant upperclassmen. This year the Camera Club worked in close cooperation with the Publications Coun- cil by supplying colorful and timely ‘‘shots” of all events that made for a bigger and more enjoyable year at Tech. Much of the success was due to a combination of the whole-hearted interest of all the members and quite an ample supply of GMTE funds. Each month the prize-winning candid pic- ture taken by the amateur photographers was mounted and displayed on the bulletin board in the Study Lounge. Although it takes a lot of initiative and still a greater deal of time, mcre than one man has found that it takes all kinds of people to make a picture. TOP PICTURE- -D-13-1 (Left to Right) R.

The activities for the year were many, but the highlight of the year was the Annual Fraternity Dance held in honor of the grad- _uating seniors, which was attended by all active members, and many of the alumni. The Phi Sigs have lost three faculty mem- bers during this past year, but the return of V. Casson, past president, as an instructor, has added another. The faculty members are Messrs. C. A. Brown, V. Casson, F. D. Haskins; J°B; Proper, ©. E..Stout,.W. J: Trathen, O. Whipple, and J. C. White. 77 — ew — i 78 The Phi Kappa Epsilon Fraternity, organ- ized in 1928, was the first fraternity to buy in 1937, its own house, at 715 Begole Street. Since then they have spent several hun- dreds of dollars on improvements, the most practical of which was the conversion of floorless attic into an air-conditioned senior study and sleeping room. What with eleven seniors graduated this year, as well as 36 men who will go to the armed services of both the U. S. and Canada, the house is still the headquarters for many activities, the most recent of which was a banquet at the Durant Hotel in June in honor of the grad- uates. Phi Kappa is well represented among the faculty with E. K. Harris, W. T. MaWhinney, H. G. Baldwin, W. W. Squier, M. Gilbert, Robert Neilsen, Frank Rybo, and A. C.

Progress has been the keynote at the Phi Tau Alpha Fraternity since its organization in 1928. Outstanding among their many accomplishments are their active participa- tion in school affairs and the maintenance of their new home at 1631 Neome Drive. Phi Tau’s social events of the year are highlighted by the annual Farewell Dinner Dance arranged in honor of the departing senior and the alumni. Faculity memberships include: L. Coquil- liti, C. Fanning, R. Van Camp, A. Fear, R. Gibstarlt, C. Mobley, Sr., C. Mobley, Jr., W. MacGee, L. Lander, R. Stanley, H. Follas, and C. Sahrbech. 81 82 Located at 817 East Kearsley Street, Gamma Mu Tau Fraternity was organized in 1928, although the charter was not granted until 1932. Active in school athletic and social affairs, the fraternity’s curriculum was climaxed by the annual Christmas Party at which time the Gammas were host to a group of mem- bers of the Armed Forces. 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.

Although hampered by the loss of mem- bers to the armed services, Gilgal has once agai n completed a very successful year. The fraternity is especially proud of having reached the $500 mark in its purchase of war bonds. In its effort to promote the war technical training program and alleviate the local housing problem, Gilgal was the first fratern- ity to make its facilities available to the Coast Guard.

For one night of the year, fraternity rivalry was forgotten in the Annual Inter-Fraternity Dance. Joining forces they came together in a body to pro- vide one of the most pleasureful evenings of the year. Not Tech men alone, but former fraternity graduates swelled the crowd and increased the enjoyment. Fine dancing, re- newed acquaintances, and good fellowship highlighted the event, with Bill Sawyer’s Orchestra providing excellent music. Not forgotten completely was singular fraternity spirit. Resplendently displayed were elaborate plaques of all styles from each house. Even as the classical night drew to a climax, strong discussions still lingered as to the mythical award winner for the best plaque. Serenity was fully restored at break- fasts held at the individual houses. TOP PICTURE—C-1-1 (Left to Right) R. Burns, G. Hays, Phi Tau; D. Moore, P. Jackson, Gam- ma Mu; A. Columbus, R.

Initiation into Alpha Tau Iota requires an average grade of 92% or better for the first one and one-half years. To insure further high selec- tivity of the best in schol- arship, ATI limits its mem- bership to ten percent of the junior class and two percent of the senior class. ATI fraternity has sev- eral faculty members, in- cluding Major Sobey, Messrs. Cowing, MaWhin- ney, Stout, White, Brown, Dent, and Donner. LOPSPICTURES me (Standing—Left to Right): G. Wellman E.

Phi Tau was undisputed champ in the first three sections losing only to Alpha Delt in the fourth section in what proved to be the biggest upset of the season. The underdog Alpha Delt came through to score a 12 to 2 victory over the Phi Tau’s. The hard fighting Alpha Delt team ranked second closely paced by Phi Kap and Phi Sig. The Trojans defeated all comers in Section A-C to gain the Independent crown but lost the school title to a hard driving Phi Tau team in one of the season's most thrilling games. In Section B-D the Injuneers defeated the Titans for the Independent championship then went on against the Alpha Delta boys downing them in a hard fought game 6-0 for the school champion- ship. This year for the fifth year in succession Gamma Mu Tau captured the basket ball crown. Gamma Mu and Phi Kap fought it out early in the season with Phi Tau moving into the lead in the second month of com petition by defeating Phi Kap in one of the closest game of the year, 28-24. As the third month began Phi Tau and Phi Kap were tied for the crown. In the last month of play the hard hitting Gamma Mu team came through by defeating the Phi Tau and Phi Kap teams to seize the crown. Phi Kap was credited with second place while Phi Tau and White Elephant took third and fourth, respectively. Key's Wildcats copped the Independent crown in an open field, having been defeated only by Chandler's boys in the second month of play. 100 SABIE aetna RRR ES PEF PERSE S BRR OR Bi caste ot Sion arr rOOPEORUL Ae SAR lt Phi Tau gained the softball crown this year by virture of a consolation win over Alpha Delt.
