President President Edward C. Thoma Our yearbook, the Kekiongan, provides the memorabilia for each of us, students and faculty alike. It especially salutes our senior students, and we all join in wishing them, those great successes which they have envisioned and planned. For the rest of us, the yearbook serves as a challenge and a guidepost on what we can do the next year to improve upon this present year. Only as we accept the challenge to not only strive to accomplish more, but actually achieve this, do we make lasting and important contributions. May the Kekiongan serve both as a sounding- board and as a record of the challenges that we have accepted and accomplished and provide for us insights to do even more.

The Warriors continued the fast moving style of basketball that has been so successful in the past. This season the team completed the finest record to date with a 24 and 3 record. The team captured the Rochester Tech Tourney, the Mid Central Conference Title and championship of NAIA District 21. The Warriors ended their very successful season when they lost to a strong Southern University of Louisiana team in the playoff at Kansas City, Missouri. Tech was proud to have our team go as far as they did. Many times the team came from behind with a lot of individual effort by the players and went on to victory. This season in particular saw Tech as a second half team. There were many outstanding individual performances but generally speaking they won their games by solid teamwork, good coaching and a lot of spirit. Ron Zigler became the second leading scorer in the history of Indiana collegiata basketball when he scored his 2270 point in the Huntington game. Ron also set a record for the most free throws in one season with 139. The loss of seniors Ron Zigler, Dave Hickman and Ray Thompson will pose some problems. Coach Macy has a lot of good potential on the team now and we are looking forward to a successful season next year. 70 GAME RESULTS Tech Tech Tech Tech. Tech. Tech. Tech Tech. Tech Tech.

Aerospace Today ' s aerodynamic courses are quite dif- ferent from those of a few years ago since supersonic flow causes significant heating and thermodynamics has to be carefully taken into account. Earthbound navigation courses have been supplanted by special navigation. Structural analysis courses have shifted the emphasis from triangulated, determinant frames to the in- determinate, stressed-skin structures. Mathematics continues (in its radically advanced forms) to be an important tool in this field. This department continues as one using the most advanced scientific information to help develop and produce modern means of trans- portation through space beyond. 96 Tech ' s Wind tunnel L-Rl: Joseph W. Cranmer, Dr. Tod G. Dixon, Chairman; John Cochran. Chemical Engineering The Department of Chemical Engineering aims to develop the student into a well-rounded, com- petent, and socially adjusted graduate. The develop- ment of the ability to THINK is paramount. The project method of instruction is used in the labora- tory which is equipped with standard pilot plant apparatus such as stills, evaporators, filter presses, and mass and energy transfer units. The curriculum covers basic sciences, engineering sciences, applied science (engineering), and general subjects, which gives a broad foundation enabling the student to be employed in design, operations, sales, teaching, and research. 97 Professor Cochran watching students perform experiment.

Chemistry Chemistry is the science of change, and serves as one of the main foundation stones for all Science and Engineering. It is one of the essential back- grounds for every educated man in the Technological Age. The Department of Chemistry not only serves to provide instruction in basic Chemistry for all Sci- ence and Engineering disciplines, but offers ad- vanced courses in Chemistry for those interested in Research in industry or in further study in Graduate Schools. 98 ' L to Rt: Robert Ruhl, Donald Cochran, Dr. Petro, Chairman; William Schrader. Civil Engineering Civil Engineering is the oldest of all the engineering fields. It has always been con- cerned with projects of both public and private nature that effect the social and economic life of the people. Originally, Civil Engineering was concerned with the construction of bridges, roads builds which are still major areas in the civil engineer- ing field. In the last half-century, additional areas have been added to the field of civil en- gineering, such as; water supply, waste disposal, city planning, and traffic engineering. These are of importance for the public health and welfare. 99 V L to Rl: Maurice Simmons, Richard Dermer, John Whitney, Gorden Johnson, Peter Sorensen, Earl Devlin, George Hatch, Arthur Price. Electrical Engineering Students at work in the laboratory. Electrical Engineering encompasses many and varied fields. The graduate electrical engineer may find himself working in the fields of radar, guided missiles and satel- lites, atomic energy, electronic computers, radio communications, television, control systems, power generation and distribution, and other numerous specialized phases of Electrical Engineering. 100 Help Is Available At Any Time The engineer must have a thorough knowledge of Engineering Graphics if he is not to be considered an engineering illiterate. This is the language by which the engineer communicates with others of his profession, draftsmen and technicians for whose work he is responsible to his employer, and others in his broad field of endeavor. Industry has indicated that it considers this one of the most important subjects of which a newly em- ployed graduate engineer must have knowledge. Engineering Graphics assists in the development of creative ability by training in space visualization. It develops the powers of analysis and synthesis. It provides a superior means of developing and recording ideas for posterity. It is, in other words, a tool of great importance to all who anticipate a career in engineering.

Dillon, President of the National Association. Tech Alumni Association The Alumni Relations Office is directed by an executive secretary, who is responsible the board of directors of the Indiana Tech Alumni Association and to the administration of the college. All graduates of the college become members of the Na- tional Association when graduate. Alumni do not pay mem- bership dues but, instead, are asked to give to the Alumni Support Fund which provides the funds to underwrite opera- tional costs and salaries. During the past year alumni were given an opportunity to contribute gifts to the Alumni Quad- rangle dormitory program — the first building to be built and named in honor of Tech graduates. Alumni subscribing to the building fund will have their names engraved on a bronze plaque which will become a permanent part of the new structure. The association looks on each student as a potential alumnus who will some day become a vital part of the founda- tion on which the college is built. 147 Lou Culp, director of Public Relations, and Winifred Troyer, secretary, looking at a photo of Bramwell Fletecher, who was featured in The George Bernard Shaw Story. Public Relations The responsibilities of the Public Relations Department can be divided roughly into three parts: publications and various printed pieces covering all programs of the college; news releases issued to local, state, and national press, radio and television; and the planning of special events, which covers many activities ranging from the Artist-Celebrity Series and Commencement programs through a variety of luncheons, dinners, tours of the campus, and so forth. The department is a service organization which cooperates with almost all of the other departments and divisions of the college. It should be noted that Public Relations is always available to student organizations for counsel re- garding campus activities and, as a general rule, will assist with the planning and promotion of student events when such activities relate to the public image of Indiana Tech. 148 Kenneth G. Sickler, Director of the College Development Department. College Development The College Development Department is concerned with all projects which serve to enhance the expansion and improvement of college facilities. Essentially the department is involved in obtaining gifts and grants from all areas of the public which are dedicated to higher education in general and Indiana Tech in particular. This would include business and industrial firms, particularly those employing engineers and sci- entists; foundations, alumni, governmental agencies, private citizens, and so forth. Since the tuition and fees paid by students cover no more than 80% of the college education, it is obvious that the work of the College Development Department is vital to the financial security of the college. The cost of providing an education, of course, has nothing to do with the funds which must be raised to construct new buildings or to rehabilitate old ones. Neither does it have anything to do with the need for endowments which will permit the college to withstand the pressure of a rising or falling economy. 149 E. F. Linhorst, Chief Research Engineer R. D. Dermer, Director of Laboratory Research and Development Laboratories C. Holder, Supervisor During the past ten years of its operation, the R D section has been responsible for the design and development of an extensive line of industrial test equipment. It has in a large measure been responsible for the standardization of magnet wire tests through the construction of test equipment. Equipment con- ceived, designed and developed by the labs is now considered as standard by N.E.M.A. for magnet 150 |jTAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY The World ' s Best Yearbooks Are Taylor-made
