Q ff GY PRESENTS, FOR POSTERITY, THE ff ,f .2 Ti-IE SENIOR CLASS of 1941 dedicates this L-Book to Professor Henry L. Byerlay, head of the Electrical Engineering Department. ln any organization, whether it be a college, a factory or a club there are always a few men who stand above the multitude. They are the ones who have combined leadership, friendliness, and a tireless ambition into one outstanding personality. Such a man is Professor Byerlay. Through his work in building the lab- oratories and improving the classes for the electrical engineering students, the thirteen men receiv- ing Bachelor of Science degrees from his department will always remember him. Por his inspiring talks, whether in the lecture roorn or at some informal bull session , none of the students at Lawrence will forget him. We seniors, especially, owe much to Professor Byerlay, or as all his pupils call him, Doc . There is probably no teacher we have worked harder for or learned more from. Even with the hard work there weren't any classes we enjoyed more than his. We hope that he will accept this dedication as a small down payment on our debt of gratitude.

Lawrence founded this institution. lt was at the depth of the worst depression this country ever ex- perienced. But with a group of men whose vision and idealism equalled his own, he began the task of creating a college of en- gineering which would offer not only the theoretical aspects of engineering, but also make available to the student the oppor- tunity to become proficient in the practical side of the profession before graduation. Those early years were difficult. The few members of the faculty and administration worked long and hard, and often- times with the prospect of recompense very remote. But grad- ually, as the need of an institution of this type was felt, the en- rollment climbed, the faculty was increased, the laboratories were built up, and needed improvements were made. ln l935, with the future of the college assured, Russell Lawrence was suddenly stricken and passed on. He had finished his job. Very few in this graduating class knew Russell E, Lawrence personally, but all, without exception, have been influenced by his ideals and philosophy as exemplified through this institution he founded. RUSSELL E. LAWRENCE Eleven 4 r Y i 1 1 Y ri N A V Myne' GRADUATES UNDERGRADUATES FACULTY ORGANIZATIONS FRATERNITIES ATHLETICS FOUR, FIVE, cmd more years ago, this present Senior class entered Lawrence Tech. Some started in day school, some in night school. As freshmen, we encountered trouble the first week in the form of sophomores, The hazing welded the classes together into a unit, and gradually, each class began to assume a personality quite distinct and different from others. fAnd remember the school in those days. The south wing was a maze of empty nooks and crannies-ideal hiding spots from pursuing sophs. There was the reading room where reception room and offices are, the recreation room in place of the library, while the fourth floor was empty and used chiefly for chalk and eraser fights. Van the Bussum held sway in the News office, and Miss Dooley had no good looking assistantsl Sophomores-and the world was ours. Friendships were formed and numerous activities entered into. Classes grew smaller as failures and drops took their toll. The world was taken apart and put together in daily bull sessions. Those of us in night school kept plugging along, with little time for activity. School itself was our recreation flztemember the four man basketball games at noon, lunch at Palmer Park, fraternity pledging, and skip days.l Pre-juniors-and the half-way mark. We began to specialize and school took on a new interest. Although we didn't know it our rah-rah days were ending. Soph-frosh rows were beneath our notice. Paramount was interest in our subjects. fRemember the school and fraternity dances, the Moonlights, the football and basketball games, Founders Days, and Bingo parties.J luniors-the I-Prom gave us a chance to express ourselves. We could see the end of the road ahead, with lab reports and tests, study and work, obstructing the way. fRemember the I-Prom -the music and atmosphere, the large crowd, the Grand March and the favors-and we made money.l Seniors-at last we're tops. Looking forward to graduation day, yet hating to see it come. In the past years many changes and improvements were made at the college. Not so apparent, but just as factual were the changes in ourselves during this period. The influence of the school and its components upon our concepts, ambitions, and personalities perhaps can never be measured, but suffice it to say, we shall always be grateful to Lawrence Tech. ,- ,,..,...--aff DAVE ANDERSON, B.S.M.E. Buchan Haven, Scotland Our little Scotch friend from Buchan Haven Was known as a Uileetfoot honey when he played the back- tield, or rather the backfield played him. He managed to wane a golf stick long enough and talk loud enough until he got the captainship ot the golf team, and we mean talk.

McKinnon Fifty-nine WHEN AN ENGINEER designs a structure that must last for a long time, he is very particular about the foundation. He uses only the best materials that he can obtain. The foundation of a college is the faculty. An engineer, the late Dean Russell E, Lawrence, designed our school, and he realized the value of a good teaching body. He believed that every instructor should not only have a degree, but that he should also have some industrial experience. His motto for our school was Theory and Practice. Although Dean Lawrence died in 1934, his ideals still live on. Almost every one of the faculty members h h d t ' t' ' h' t' HEL a ex ensive prac ice in is respec ive The full time instructors are supplemented by several ot Detroit's best engineers who teach one or two classes in night school that are directly concerned with their everyday professions. The students of our school thus get the benefit of a teacher who really knows his work. We seniors appreciate the time and energy the faculty has expended on our education. Many of them have made a deep and lasting impression on us. We will remember them not only as teachers but also as helpful friends. They have our most sincere thanks. 4, - 0 Q ' 5 Q, 5 Tarow ' '15 5 J: AND 5 j muff: t 2 44: 1931, F39 ND pmxff ' 1-ii '- Hs:-A J r.q:q-.VV k 2 in -:Wm i M N, 5112. . 3.3-525' .Rig .1 J 2 QF, , -Q 1 4 s PP? -..

Automotive Sixty nine ONE OF Tl-IE greatest assets any school can have is a number of active clubs. This is especially true ot technical schools where clubs provide good outlets for students wishing to discuss prob- lems pertaining to their respective fields. Lawrence Tech has a good round variety of clubs in which the students can meet and discuss problems of mutual interest. There is the soaring society for aviation enthusiasts, the radio club where the hams all gather, the chemistry club which is usually raising a stink about some- thing or other, and all the rest whose pictures are on the following pages, Each oi these organizations was founded for a definite purpose and each of them is active in his field. Their job is to take some of the drudgery out of learning and they do their work well. ,mira op, 115 cv 12 Q 12 'meow 9 5 W 1 AND 5 5 ments 2 'Q -S gc' 1931- F59 ND PAQYN may -3 ,tv-,. ,4 Qkfg ASQ 0 is wg, 5- Qi r In U ' Q, D, .5 Q I .kj W iff '56 .

STUDENT COUNCIL The student council is the student governing body of the school. All classes and all clubs and organizations with a membership of thirty-tive members or more are represented on the council. Dr. Graetie is a member ot the council representing the faculty and administration. The president and viceepresident are elected in a college-wide poll and inaugurated at the Annual Meeting of the council. The duties ol the council include the publishing of, and responsibility ior, the Lawrence Tech News and the L-Book, regulation of social activities, selec- tion of candidates for the honor fraternity, Lambdo lota Tau, and respons- ibility for the Founders Day program. ln addition, the council awarded keys to deserving members ot the Tech News, gave an All-Sports banquet to the letter men, and put up a social calendar. E. lohn Knapp and William Shortt represented Lawrence at the East Cen- tral Regional Convention oi the National Student Federation held at Michigan State on April ll, 12, l3. The mutual exchange ot ideas not only proved of benefit to the school and council, but the activities and responsibilities ot this Council proved surprising to the other delegates representing some thirty col- leges. The boys came home with a greater appreciation ot our student form of government. The new constitution, which was drawn up by C. Leland Gunn and Don Winner, was adopted by the council after approval by the administration and passed along to the student body for their approval at the spring election. The annual election was held in May for the first time to eliminate the lame duck sessions in the fall. This cut down the terms of the 40-41 council to five months, but in spite of that they managed to accomplish a good deal.

THE TECH BOWMEN ln October, l94O, the Lawrence Tech Archery Club was organized and, in a very short time, there were many who were interested in joining. By De-- cernber, the necessary equipment for an indoor range in the Lawrence Tech Gym had been purchased and set up. Tech Bowmenf' in the meantime, had been selected as the name of the organization, a constitution adopted, and the following officers elected: President and Organizer. .. .Rod Osplack Vice President .,...... . . . Richard Hogan Secretary-Treasurer. . , , .Robert Leonard The first meet proved to be very successful, the Tech Bowmen defeating the Mackanzie Archers in the team shoot, by a score of 80-347 to 78-329, and in the individual meet, by process of elimination, 24-163 to 23-150, with Tech's president Rod Osplack, taking the honors.

DEBATING TEAM When one sees a group of individuals gathered in the hall talking loudly and making many expressive motions, almost invariably the main proponent is a member of the debating team. lt takes three strong minded and long winded debators such as Iohn Moran, Iames Whately, and Leo G. Davis to keep Doctor Graeifee engaged in heated repartee. On the other hand the mild mannered C. Lee Zwally or lohn Ries can easily discuss many of the less violent subjects with such mental giants as Dean Hendrickson or Professor Roy Smith and emerge with a grin expressing, Well, he understands me now. - To prove that debating is financially helpful, Anton Ioen talked the Vickers Aircraft into a job as prospective chief engineer. Another veteran debator Albert Busch, has just been drafted. lt will be interesting to see if he can talk his way out of that. Intercollegiate debating has not been accomplished this year because of the illness of Professor Sherwood Price, the debating coach. However, with Mr. Price's return next year, the members look forward to a full schedule of intercollegiate debating.

LAWRENCE TECH NEWS lust as the L-Book presents the history of the school year to the students of Lawrence Tech, The Lawrence Tech News presents the events as they happen on the campus week by week. The paper is published bi-weekly by undergraduates of Lawrence, with the Student Council as the sponsor. When the school year began, the Council appointed Don Winner to the position of Editor-in-Chief. Immediately, Winner appointed Murray lohnston as News Editor, Ralph Carlson, Features, Duane Duff, Copy, Richard Bork, Sports, Bob Dixon, Exchange, lohn Bounker, Business. Later in the term Ed Donley was appointed Photographic Editor and Iulius Klinec, Assistant Sports Editor. The reporting staff was made up of Bishop, Zwally, Emig, Lusky, Starr, Murray, Webb, lackson, Benes. To publish a bi-weekly paper with a staff taken mostly from night school, is a very difficult task. At the beginning of the year it is all very fine, but later, when the Professors are more insistent about assignments and back work, it is a rather tough proposition. This year conditions were worse for a night- staff, with everyone working overtime on defense projects. These are some of the reasons which forced Don Winner to resign the Editorship at mid-year. Seventy-six 3x X 2 IACK BOUNKER DICK BORK Realizing that the position required too rnuch of one man the 'Student Council appointed Richard Bork and lohn Bounker as Co-Editors. They in turn secured more aid from the day-school in oder to publish a paper that was more interesting to all the students. Throughout the year the staff has tried to cover all the activities on the carn- pus and has succeeded in doing an adequate job. The biggest handicap has been that some ot the organizations have not supplied the stall with enough information, either before or after an event, to have complete coverage. Nevertheless, by reading this volume ol the Tech News, one could get a full story of the school year. TECH NEWS STAFF Richard Bork, Iohn Bounker . Co-Editors-in-Chief William lackson . . . . .

Morris Seventyreight What we refer to as the Chem Club is in reality the Lawrence lnstitute of Tech- nology Chapter of Student Affiliates of the American Chemical Society. The chapter was reorganized this year to include both day students and night students in its membership. The Chem Club is a vital, growing organization made up of students who are eager to explore the ever-widening fields of chemical activity. The objects of the club are these: To afford an opportunity for the students of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering in Lawrnce lnstitute of Technology to become better acquainted Cwith each other and with Chemical Engineering practicel, to secure the intellectual stimulation that arises from professional association, to secure experience in preparing and presenting technical ma- terial before chemical audiences, and to foster a professional pride in Chemistry. Guest speakers, most of whom have been L.l.T. alumni, have presented in- teresting talks on such subjects as Oil Additivies and Greases, lndustrial Spectroscopy, and Properties of Fuels. The club has gone in a body to several meetings of the Detroit Chapter of the American Chemical Society. At these meetings they have been priv- ileged to hear some of the outstanding men in Chemistry, among whom have been Dr. Ewell of Purdue University, and Dr. Whitmore of Pennsylvania State University.

VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club consists of over one hundred letter winners in the various intercollegiate sports engagd in by the Blue Devils. The purpose of the club is to promote good sportsmanship and to create a goal for all undergraduates to work toward in their athletic ventures. The Varsity Club is the very active or- ganization which sponsored the last Homecoming Dance, which was by far the most successful ever given by any Lawrence Tech organization. They have given out over 25600.00 in varsity sweaters during the past year and they will have given out another 3500.00 in sweaters before this term ends. This is a marvelous bit of work that has been performed by this club through sponsoring moonlight excursions, dances, and other means of enter- tainment for the student body which proved to be a paying proposition.

TELEVISION SOCIETY The Television Society during the past year has added a video signal gen- erator and an iconoscope camera. This completes the equipment necessary for the televising of scenes and line subjects. The 112 megacycle transmitter has been rebuilt and a seven tube re- ceiver has been added, making possible the transmission and reception of pic- tures. ln cooperation with the glass laboratory, cathode ray and other tubes are under construction for television research. ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Alumni, Association was founded in the fall of 1937. The association as it now exists is the result of combining all previous efforts extended toward organizing the L.1.T. Alumni. The purpose of this organization is to perpetuate the aims and ideals as set forth by Russell E. Lawrence, the founder of the Lawrence Institute of Tech- nology, and to keep alive, after leaving school, the friendly spirit and mutual cooperation engendered at school. The closed activities of the Alumni included industrial trips, stag parties, snow parties, and picnics. Each regular meeting, held the second Monday of each month, was accompanied by talks by men in industry, success stories by men of our own group, or pictures on technical and other subjects. Another activity which ist carried on throughout the year by the Association is the con- tacting of our members wherever they may be. Eighty-one Seated Cleft to rightl Theodore Piasecki, Frank l.

The profits derived from this machine and monthly dues has enabled the lensmen to obtain con- siderable new equipment, including a Solar enlarger with five-inch inter- changeable lens, a large Albert easel, and a Kodak safety lamp. They are now considering the purchase of a print dryer. At their semi-monthly meetings, interesting and instructive lectures are presented by George Noe, of General Motors camera club. The Club is active throughout the summer as well as during the school year. Last summer several trips of photogaphic interest were made by its members. Contests are later held to settle any disputes as to who is the best photographer. The Lawrence Lensmen extend this invitation to students who are inter- ested in this hobby to attend our future meetings.

SOARING SOCIETY The Soaring Society of Lawrence Tech was founded in 1933 by Professor Bates and lack Laister for the purpose of giving its members practical training in the science of building and flying gliders and sailplanes. All of the gliding activities of the Detroit area are centered around Law- rence Tech and its aero shop. Every one of the ships of the Detroit Glider Council have been either built or repaired in this shop. ln the past year Tech has been represented in three major soaring contests, the Southwestern Soaring meet at Wichita Falls, Texas, the National Soaring Contest at Elmira, New York, and the American Open Soaring Contest at Lock- port, lllinois. The Lawrence Tech and the Midwest flown by Professor Randy Chapman and Bill Putnam represented Lawrence at these meets. Guy Williams, Herb Abrams and Bob Plettenberg were in the ground crew.

RADIO CLUB The Lawrence Tech Radio Club, with its live years of activity can right- fully take its place as a veteran among school organizations. Under the cap- able direction of Professor H. L. Byerlay, the club operates its own' licensed radio station with the call letters WSQOA. The station is located in the club rooms in the basement of the south Wing of the building and may often be heard on the amateur bands, particularly 80 meters, using code and phone with its RCA transmitter. Recently club mem4 bers have treated the club rooms so as to improve the acoustics. ln addition, a library of the latest radio periodicals has been started for the enjoyment and benefit of the members. Both day and night students are members of the club, which holds its meet- ings in the Electrical Lab. every second Friday evening. Although most of the members hold amateur licenses, membership is Welcome to any Tech student interested in radio. The small initiation fee and yearly dues enable the club to purchase new equipment as desired. The Radio Club is especially proud to be the tirst Winner of the Founders Day Cup. Given last year as a trophy to the organization with the most inter- esting exhibit. The Club Will be on its toes again this year in order to retain the cup. Among the activities of the club are a candy machine and a display cabinet in the hall which is kept up to date with bulletins and photographs of current interest in radio. The Radio Club Will continue its activities in the interest of the school and to provide a Worthwhile activity for the students of Lawrence Tech.

LAWRENCE TECH BAND The Lawrence Tech Band was lormed in lanuary, 1940, after two previous attempts at organization. The college was fortunate in securing the services of Thomas E, Sadler as its loandmaster, Mr. Sadler is former president of the Michigan division of the American Bandmasters Association. President E. G. Lawrence appointed Professor Roy A. Smith as faculty advisor. Thirty men attended the iirst meeting, halt oi whom had no previous knowl- edge ol music at all. However rehearsals began immediately, one hour a day and four days a week. Soon a creditable unit was whipped into shape. Eighty-six The band played at all school functions, such as Founders Day, Gradua- tion, assemblies, and athletic events. The first out of town trip was to Grand Rapids to play at the Lawrence-Calvin basketball game. lt was a momentous occasion for the members of the unit and signified the confidence of Mr. Sadler in the quality of the group. The sound of their alma mater Dear Old L.l.T. proved an inspiration to the team. The organization has access to a library of music that is equal to any sim- ilar library in the country. lt has grown from thirty men to over forty mem- bers in a year's time, and similar increase is expected next year. Martial music does put into its listeners a spirit and confidence, and this has been apparent at Lawrence athletic events when the band makes an appearance. Mr. Sadler and the men in the band have worked long hours to achieve their success. Much credit must go to Professor Smith for his advice and coun- sel, and to the student manager of the band. Wilbert R. Leonard, for his time and energy spent. N E. Q 1 Eighty-seven Eighty-eight Standing fleft to right, Gerald Dorow, Wilbert Leonard, Murray Iohnston, Iames Happ. Seated lleft to right!

The Seniors elected William Bishop unanimously to direct the affairs of the 1941 L-Book. With the approval of the class, he selected George lohannessen as Business Manager and Murray lohnston, Assistant Editor in charge of Photography. The rest of the staff included Ralph Carlson, lames Happ, Don Winner, Ralph Emig, Iohn Chung, Wilbert Leonard, Gerald Dorow, and Dave Anderson. The Writeups for the organizations were written by members of the organ- izations themselves. Any changes made were done so in the general inter- est of length and style. The staff appreciates the help rendered by these men and groups. This year's staff Worked sincerely and loyally to produce a book appealing to everybody. Whether they have succeeded depends on your re- ception of this effort. Eighty-nine CJLA. FLIGHT CLASS The third class of students in the Civilian Pilot Training Program at Law- rence Tech cornrnenced training on October ll, 1940. As previously, their flight instruction was given at Hartung Aircraft Corporations Airport at lfllfg Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue. The ground school subjects of Navigation and Meteorology were taught at Lawrence Tech, Classes were held Monday, Wednesday, and Friday Nights after Night School. The session ended February 5.

With an out- standing record of nine victories, two defeats, and one tie, the results of matches with the biggest and best teams in the country, the team was looking forward to participation in the National Inter-collegiate shoulder-to-shoulder matches. The amazing rise of Tech's standing from fifty-fourth in the nation to ninth, Warrants the highest expectations from the team in this match. Ninety-one FRA FRATERNl'l'lES play a prominent part in American College Lite and have a marked intluence upon their members. Young men, having the same background, tastes and aspira- tions, naturally form among themselves enduring friendships and develop as 'esprit de corps.' A fraternal order takes great pride in the achievements ot its members in competition with members ot similar organizations on the campus in scholar- ship, athletic contests, or in other student activities. This spirit is developed to a remarkable degree at Lawrence Tech, for fraternity men form the backbone of all the important school activities. gxginmf Op, 3- Q- 5 i 'meow 2 5 J: AND 5 5 II mmf: e .5 H 5 29671931 F55 ND pAy.tl f ,Q ALPHA GAMMA UPSILON Social-Founded at Anthony Wayne Institute, Fort Wayne, Indiana, in l922 Epsilon Chapter founded at Lawrence Institute in 1933.

Sergeant-at-Arms Oh, yes, l remember it was back in '38, to be exact it was November, 1938- let me seeMit startd off this way-a group of energetic and active students in the day school realized the need for a new fraternity in our Alma Mater. The desirable men with fairly high scholastic averages and good organizing ability were invited to a meeting in the Architectural study. With the aid of Dean Hendrickson they began the first steps for the actual formation of the fraternity. Then came March 5, 1939. With a charter, 14 members, and the support of the college, they started their fight for existence, as we all have to do sooner or later. Now after three years you can see for yourself that they were the busiest and most progressive fraternity. As for membership they now have about 39 men, a new house, high scholastic standing, an ever-increasing pop- ularity and also lead an active social life. The activities of the fraternity have been many and varied. They include a summer picnic, a Halloween party, scavenger hunt, annual dinner, pledge mixers, house-warming party, stag parties, roller-skating party, and the hot- dog concession at the football games.

Like all newly formed social bodies, Delta Sigma encountered the usual amount of obstacles which beset the organization of such groups. However the charter members succeeded in shaping the fra- ternity into a small and campact group with a definite program to follow, Delta Sigma looks forward to a successful and useful role in the extra-curric- ular life of Lawrence lnstitute of Technology. l F y x . , - i r- T One Hundred First row Cleft to rigl-10 Pete Camilletti, W.

Treasurer In the month of lanuary, 1940, the varsity fencers at Lawrence Institute of Technology, realizing the need of a fraternal order which combined the pro- motion of both athletic and scholastic endeavor, added the Lawrence Tech Chapter to the National Fraternity of the Scimitar, the main chapter of which was organized at the University of Illinois. Chapters have since been formed at the University of Michigan and at Michigan State College. The objectives of the Scimitar are threefold: to promote interest and compe- tition in National Collegiate Fencing, to promote higher scholastic endeavorg and to further the best ideals of sportsmanship. lt was with these ideals in mind that the fraternity was installed at Lawrence Tech, with the initiation handled by the University of Michigan. Active membership in the fraternity shall be extended only to those in their second year of fencing at Lawrence Tech. Honorary membership may be con- ferred by the unanimous vote of the active members of the fraternity upon any man who has rendered or who may render distinguished service to the cause of fencing. Dr. Edwin Graeffe has been appointed faculty advisor because of the work he has done in furthering interest in fencing at Lawrence and also for the excellent coaching he has done in previous years, especially in 1939 when the Lawrence Tech team won the lohn L. Osis Intercollegiate Championship Cup. One Hundred-one LAMBDA IOTA TAU The honor society at Lawrence Tech was formed to encourage a high scholastic standing and increase active participation in extra-curricular ac- tivities. The name was appropriately chosen from the Greek letters repre- senting L.l.T. Founded in l934, the fraternity is governed by the Student Council which approves the selection of all candidates. Membership keys are awarded annually to Seniors who fulfill the require- ments for admission, To be eligible, the candidates must have at least a B average. ln addition he must have participated in a prescribed amount of extra-curricular activities.

The by-laws are still in the process of the original drafting. Plans are already in the progress of the lnter-Fraternity Ball which Will be an annual Occasion. One Hundred-seven THE FOLLOWING pages are dedicated to those men who have represented Lawrence Tech in the various collegiate sports. The spirit of sportsmanship and fair play that these men showed in their competition was a credit to their school. These fellows, who spent many of their few vacant hours in practicing deligently at one or more of their sports, deserve more credit than they gen- erally received They participated in nearly every collegiate sport and engaged some of the leading collegiate teams in the country. The impression that a school's teams make on the general public is all too often the impression that the public has of the school. The men of our teams have made a fine im- pression and have enhanced the reputation of Lawrence Tech. The Blue Devil teams have built up a fine reputation for win- ning teams in the collegiate world, but what is even more im- portant, they have developed a feeling of respect for their teams by such good sportsmanship whether, winning or losing. !x50TU'l'E OP, -4 5 THBOW AN 6' Q- ff .

As far as the Michigan-Ontario Col- legiate Conference was concerned, the boys ended with 3 victories and l defeat. This was good enough to give them a three way tie for the champion- ship with DeSales and Assumption and it enabled them to add another victory monument to the trophy case. The varsity gridders held their week of training at Camp Rankin, near Port Sandillac on Lake Huron. By the time the team returned to Detroit everyone was in excellent physical condition. At Camp Rankin, Coach Don Ridler found several promising prospects amongst the new gridders, The most promising of these were lack Dowd, tackle, Emil Neeme and Bob Coogan, guards, and lack Coogan, a halfback. The Lawrence Tech team opened its season against a strong Hillsdale team which hadn't been beaten in 3 years. The Blue Devils finally emerged with a 19 to 9 victory, after a two touchdown rally in the last period. This game was played at Hillsdale under the lights. Besides this victory the Blue Devils boasted victories over Grand Rapids University, Defiance, St. Marys, Assump- tion, and Ferris. The three defeats were by Wittenberg, DeSales and lndiana State. The Blue Devils lost a rather unexciting game to the lndiana State teachers College in Terre Haute, Indiana, by the score of 20 to 7. This victory for the Hoosiers gave them their revenge for the 20 to 13 beating Tech handed them the previous year. The game was more of a punting duel with Tech put- ting up a better fight than the score indicated. The gridders won their first M.O.C.C. game of the year by defeating As- sumption College at Windsor, Cntario, in a night game lU to U. The Blue Devils lone touchdown came in the second period with halfback Bob Utter plunging over from the five-yard line. Charles Archer took care of the rest of the scoring by booting the extra point and then by kicking a field goal from the twenty-yard line in the dying minutes of the game. One Hundred-eleven Lawrence Tech opened their home football season by trouncing Grand Bapids University 27 to l2 at Ives Field. This game also marked the first show- ing of the newly formed Lawrence Tech Band, which put on a grand show during the half. The Blue Devils really outclassed the Lancers by running up a total of 27 first downs and scoring in each period. The Blue Devils took the lead in the M.O.C.C. race by defeating Ferris 20 to 0 at Big Bapids, Michigan, before a large Ferris homecoming crowd. Lawrence Tech was held scoreless in the first half by the strong Ferris defense, but in the second half their defense cracked and the Blue Devils smashed through for three touchdowns. Ferris was completely outplayed as Tech gained I6 first downs to 3 for Ferris. Lawrence Tech lost their Homecoming game to the Fighting Lutherans of Wittenberg College by the score of 20 to 0. The Wittenberg eleven was one of the strongest amongst the smaller schools in the mid-westg in ten games they were unbeaten and untied. Tech battled Wittenberg on even terms throughout the game except for a few times in the first half when the Fighting Lutherans scored all of their points. Both teams made I7 first downs, with Tech getting I0 in the second half to 0 for Wittenberg. DoSales College defeated the Blue Devils in the last home game of the year by the decisive score of 33 to 7. This put the M.O.C.C. race in a three- way tie for first with Lawrence, Assumption and DeSales sharing the top berth. The game was much closer than the score indicates. Lawrence Tech invaded Ohio again for their last game of the year and re- turned with a 26 to 2 victory over Defiance College. Coach Bidler ended this very successful season by using his entire squad in this last game. The Blue Devils played brilliant football and justy deserved this victory, At the end of the season the coaches of the M.O.C.C. met to pick their annual All-Conference team. Lawrence Tech was very well represent- ed with five members on this team: AI Schreke, guard, Walter Nowacki, tackleg Fred Dupke, end, Harry Awdey, halfbackg and lack Coogan, halfback. Incident- ly, it should be noted that this is the third year in a row that Dupke has re- ceived this honor. Awdey and Coogan were easily the best halfbacks. Awdey slightly more experienced, was an excellent passer and runner. Coogan was the find of the year. lack hailing from Dearborn was by far the most deadly blocker and tackler in the conference. The Detroit Free Press picked an All-Metropolitan Detroit team and again Lawrence was represented. This time it was big lack Dowd to receive the honor by being given the tackle post on the first team. Dupke and Ribbentrop were placed on the alternate squad. M.O.C.C. STANDINGS W L Pct.

The team was composed of nine veterans and five members of last year's fast stepping freshman team. Charlie Havill, one of the most dependable players on last year's team, was injured in one of the early practice sessions and was lost to the team until the latter part of the season. After this initial victory the basketball team journeyed down to Bowling Green Ohio, to defeat the highly favored Bowling Green University team 45 to 39. D'Arcy O'Neil, the most improved player on the squad, led both teams in scoring by tallying 13 points. This victory brought the Blue,Devils revenge for the 44 to 3l defeat Bowling Green handed Lawrence Tech at the Hackett Field House the previous year. The thing that held the attention of the entire student body, was the cagers invasion of the East. Here, despite the fact that We lost four games, our pres- tige was greatly increased. Canisius, one of the East's strong members, was fortunate to finish at the long end of a 5l to 43 score. The big upset, for indeed it might be called that, was the exhibition the Blue Devils put on against the highly touted Blackbirds of Long Island University. The Blackbirds are considered one of the leading quintets in the nation. This, however, didn't mean a thing to our boys, as they went out and led the New Yorkers for a goodly part of the first half. Long lsland University finally Won the game in the last few minutes by the close score of 50 to 43. Billy Hertz, of Lawrence, led both teams in scoring by tallying l4 points. On the last leg of their Eastern trip and still trying for a victory, the Law- rence Tech cagers met Niagara University, in Buffalo, on lanuary 7. The Blue Devils were undoubtedly tired from their trip, and did not play up to their standard. They lost this game by the decisive score of 43 to 24, although the game was closer than the score indicates. One Hundred-fifteen The next night Lawrence Tech met Edinboro State Teachers College at Edinboro, Pennsylvania, in their final game of the Eastern invasion. The Blue Devils dropped another decision after they had been leading during the entire game by the score of 46 to 44. Edinboro killed all of Tech's hopes by sinking a basket in the final seconds. The i'Blue Devils took second place in the M.O.C.C. race by defeating Assumption College at Windsor, Ontario. This was the roughest game of the season with tackling and tumbling being very prominent. A pair of graduates from last year's freshman team, Sam Lieberman and Paul Ribbentrop, stole the scoring honors for Lawrence by scoring l0 points each. The Blue Devils led throughout the game with the final score being 47 to 34. The cagers reserved their best play of the year for the home fans as they defeated the favored DeSales five at the Hackett Field House by the score of 47 to 38. The Lawrence hoopsters functioned smoothly and turned on the power from the very beginning as they sprinted into an early lead which they did not relinquish. The play was extremely fast and the game was the best ever seen at the Hackett Field House. Sheldon Harris stole the show as he scored twelve points by making brilliant baskets that brought the spec- tators to their feet. The Lawrence Varsity cagers established a record as they soundly trounced a Cleary College five, by the score of 73 to 16. This is the highest score that a Lawrence five has made in the school's history. Coach Ridler sub- stituted freely, and could have made the score a lot worse. The highest pre- vious score was the 70 points scored against Cleary last year. The Lawrence Tech Blue Devils extended their string of victories to six as the Purple Raiders of Assumption College fell to the smart and fast moving Tech quintet by a 43 to 25 score. One of the most evident features of the game was the fast play and excellent ball handling which Ridler's boys displayed. This game gave Lawrence four victories in five M.O.C.C. games. The Blue Devils defeated a strong Illinois Tech team, by the score of 40 to 36 at the Holy Redeemer Gym. Lawrence was trailing by seven points with five minutes to go when Chuck Havill put some spirit into the team by making two of his left-handed shots off the side of the backboard. Then the boys really clicked as they scored eleven points to none for lllinois in those last five ex- citing minutes. This game had one of those typical story book endings. The Blue Devils lost their final game of the year to the strong Calvin College team before 2,500 spectators at the Hackett Field House by the score of 49 to 36. This game, played before the largest home crowd in Tech's history, gave the M.O.C.C. championship to Calvin, Tech placing second. Calvin scored seven points before Lawrence was able to score a point. The outstand- ing play for the Blue Devils was furnished by D'Arcy O'Neill, playing the backboard hard and playing the best defensive game of the team. Breene, of Calvin, led all the scorers with l7 points. Calvin showed its excellent school spirit by the attendance of 200 of its own rooters. One Hundred-sixteen This Was a very successful season tor the Blue Devils cagers as they Won 13 games While losing only 9. Coach Don Ridler deserves a lot of credit for this teams fine showing and next year he should have even a better season With the entire team returning with the exception ot Ken Beas who has played his tour years of varsity basketball. Ken Reas was named captain of the All-M.O.C.C. team at his guard posi- tion by the coaches at a meeting held at Assumption College on March 17, 1941. Beas also climaxed his collegiate basketball career by being named on the first team of the All-Metropolitan Detroit Collegiate team. D'Arcy O'Neill Was named on the second All-M.O.C.C. team While Sheldon Harris received an honorable mention on both the All-M.O.C.C. team and the All-City team.

Opponents ll Cleary College l 8 Alma College 6 5 Findlay College 7 7 Findlay College O 7 Toledo University 4 U Toledo University 4 The 1940 Lawrence Tech baseball team had a very successful season Win- ning iour games While losing only two. The team was coached by Don Ridler, with Iulius Klinec acting as manager. The Blue Devils opened their collegiate schedule by playing host to the Cleary College nine. Walter Nowacki almost reached baseball's hall of fame by holding Cleary hitless through six long innings, then the Cleary second baseman hit the ball over second base for Cleary's only hit of the game. Nowacki had to be content with his one-hitter as Tech Went on a rampage scoring eleven runs to one unearned run for Cleary. Iim Smith and Floyd Guest, first and second basemen respectively led the Blue Devils attack by collect- ing three hits apiece. One Hundred-eighteen Tech then journeyed to Alma to battle the Alma College team. Frank Wum- mel started on the mound for Lawrence and received credit for the 8 to 6 vic- tory although he was relieved by Nowacki in the sixth inning. Sheldon Harris, regular shortstop, was the individual star both at bat and on the field. The baseball team resumed their traveling, this time going down into Ohio to engage Findlay College in a double header. Tech lost the first game when Findlay rallied to score 5 runs in the eighth inning and drive Nowacki off the mound. Sheldon Harris again led the Tech attack by rattling out three hard hits. Iohn McHugh was injured in the early part of the game when he ran into the fence while chasing a wild ball. Bob Collins pitched a two-hit shutout as Tech defeated Findlay in the night-cap of their doubleheader, 7 to U. Frank Wummel was the batting star of the game as he collected 3 out of 6, one being a long, well hit homerun. Harris provided the fielding thrill of the game when he went to deep short to throw out a man with a potential run on third base. Billy Goldberg took over the catching assignment and between him and Collins they kept the Findlay hitters off balance throughout the game. Lawrence Tech entertained the Toledo University nine at Northwest- ern Field in the last home game of the year. Frank Wummel won his second game of the year by holding Toledo to five hits. The Blue Devils won the game by blasting out eleven hits to give them a 7 to 4 victory. Bay Cassmere got Tech's longest hit of the year, a homer that scored another run ahead of him for an early lead. Floyd Guest also starred at bat by getting two doubles out of four trips to the plate. Toledo University got revenge for the defeat Tech handed them by de- feating the Blue Devils 4 to 0 at Toledo. Tech's hitters were practically help- less against Toledo's Negro pitching ace. This game ended a very successful collegiate baseball season. Lawrence Tech then sponsored a team in the Detroit Baseball Federation Class A. This team, which was the same team as the collegiate nine, had a successful season in the Class A and won a good share of their games.

The team was well prepared for their spring matches because of the thorough training they had received at the Hackett Field House under the direction of Coach Peterson during the long winter months. The opening match of the year found the Blue Devils losing to Kalamazoo College on the slippery floor of the Hornet field house. ln the following matches the netters performed much betterg they defeated St. Mary's and tied the Wayne University Frosh, and then lost two close matches to Highland Park Iunior College, one to Calvin, and one to the Wayne Frosh. One Hundred-twenty At the Conference meet held at Grand Rapids, the Blue Devils',, handi- capped by an unfavorable draw, ended the first days singles matches by trail- ing Calvin and St. Mary's by three points and Ferris by four points. Then on the following day the number one doubles team of co-captains Ralph Ernig and Dannie Taras, took matters into their own hands and won the Michigan- Ontario Collegiate Conference doubles championship without losing a set to their opponents in the entire tournament. This netted the 'Blue Devils six points and a tie for second place in the team standings with St, Mary's. Ferris won the team championship, while Alex Gorski of St. Mary's won the singles title for the third straight year. M. O. C. C.

Proof of this statement can not be found in com- parative scores, but from the assurance of Capt. Dave Anderson and Marvin Pawley. These boys ought to know, both having played for Tech since '37. Kenny Kerr, a newcomer to the game, took over the number one slot usually occupied by either Anderson or Fawley. I-le is the smoothest little golfer ever seen at Lawrence. Harry Awdey of football fame alternated at the number two slot with Dave Anderson and turned in some swell scores. Another newcomer, Larry Freese, gave Marvin Fawley a battle for the number four slot. The M.O,C.C. tournament was held at Grand Rapids, with Ferris dominating the match from the very first tee and Lawrence had to rally brilliantly in the after- noon round to take third place, with DeSales taking second. With these four veterans as a nucleus, Tech should have a banner year in '4l.

TRACK--1940 The Lawrence Tech track team performed remarkably well considering the lack of interest shown in this sport. The runners practiced daily at Ford Field and were in excellent condition for their spring meets. The boys received their big disappointment when all their meets except the M.O.C.C. meet were rained out. The Tech track team finished second in the Conference meet right behind Calvin. Calvin Won the M.O.C.C. championship for the second straight year. The meet was held on a slow, rain-soaked track at Belle lsle in Detroit.

CRAEFFE -- COACHES - BILL OSIS FENCING--1940-41 The Lawrence Tech fencing team composed of Roland Rogers Cfoil, epee, saberl, Peter Camilletti tfoil and saberl, Ted Mayer Cfoil and epeel, and King Clifford Cfoil and saberl, had a comparatively poor season. The team was handicapped by the loss of Eugene Iakubowski and Marion Kolasa, and the fact that there were no graduates of last year's freshman team capable of fill- ing the vacancies. The Blue Devils opened the season against Cranbrook College on our home floor. The Tech fencers emerged victorious by the commanding score of l5 to 9. Roland Rogers and Peter Camilletti, the two veterans, led the Law- rence attack by accounting for lU of the pointsg Rogers collecting 6 while Cam- illetti was gathering 4. The fencing team then suffered three defeats in a row by Northwestern University, Cranbrook College, and Michigan State College. The strong North- western University team defeated Tech l5 to 9. Rogers again starred for Tech by collecting 6 of the team's nine points. The loss to Cranbrook was excusable as both Rogers and Camilletti were unable to take part in the match because of their work. Michigan State College defeated Tech by one point, 9 to 8. Rogers was responsible for 5 of the 8 points registered by Tech, while Camilletti collected the other 3. Next year's team should again fill the prestige developed by Lawrence Tech fencing teams of the past, Dr. Cvraeffe will have available several mem- bers of this years successful freshman team to battle the varsity for their po- sitions.

The members of the team were chosen on each man's own merit, which insured maximum efficiency in the collegiate matches. The Blue Devils won lU matches out of their schedule of l7, while losing 6 and tying l. The Tech riflemen had matches with the strongest teams in the country. Washington State, Georgia Tech, University of Chicago, Ohio State University, University of Michigan, and the University of illinois are among the teams which Lawrence has shot with this year. The Rifle Team also boasts of victories over two Big Ten teams, the University of lllinois and the Uni- versity of Chicago. The Lawrence Tech Rifle Team, after this very successful season, is now ranged ninth in the national standings for collegiate teams. This is a wonderful record for a school the size of Lawrence Tech. The team is led by Captain Iames Whateley and Manager Orval Opperthouser. This year as in the past the big event of the year was the National North. Central Regional Shoulder to Shoulder shoot-offs held at Chicago. Over a hundred colleges were represented at this meet, which included all the major teams in the nation. Next year a league composed of the University of Michigan, Ohio State, and Lawrence Tech, plus two or more colleges not yet named will give Law- rence its most active season. - FROSI-I FENCING Dr. Graeffe had great difficulty in finding enough material for his freshmen squad, because most of them worked on Saturday, the only day to practice. Graeffe tried every means he knew to get more fellows to try out for the team, but each Saturday found merely a handful of students present. ln dis- gust he decided to try to assemble his class during the noon hour which proved to be the missing link in the process of training his fencers for future participa- tion on his varsity team, which is always considered one of the best teams in the country. The noon hour class was organized early in Section C's second term, for beginning fencers who were unable to attend the Saturday afternoon ses- sions, At its first meeting the class unanimously elected Roy Morris and Don Roesch, manager and assistant manager, respectively. When the class had progressed sufficiently, members were chosen to rep- resent Lawrence Tech in matches against high school fencing teams in the metropolitan area. Graeffe is developing some fine material that he will be able to use on, his next year's varsity team. The one member of the team that looks like the most promising varsity fencing material is lack Zimelow, a var- sity tennis player. One Hundred-twenty-six B. B. BASKETBALL The Lawrence Tech intramural program sponsored a team in the Highland Park UBB Recreation League, under the direction of lulius Klinec. This BB team gave a creditable performance and finished the season with a record of 8 wins and 5 defeats. The BB boys qualified for the playoffs and advanced into the championship round where they were beaten by the strong Time- Outs by one point. The best exhibition of basketball given by the Lawrence Tech UBB team was their 34 to 32 victory over the previously undefeated 'Time-Outs. The game, played at the Hackett Field House, was the best BB contest played there that year, according to Mr. Myron, Recreation Director at the Highland Park center. The BB boys established some kind of a record when they scored lU points in about 2112 minutes. Chester Popularski threw in the winning basket with about 50 seconds to go. Iulius Klinec led all the scorers with 16 points. The Lawrence Tech UBB team led the Highland Park Recreation League during the first round and placed second in the second round playoffs. Iulius Klinec, the Lawrence Tech five's manager and star player, led the entire league in scoring and was closely followed by Bernie Cohen and Chester Pop- ularski. These boys deserve a lot of credit for the fine brand of basketball they showed despite the poor support given them by the student body. FROSH BASKETBALL The Lawrence Tech Freshman basketball team had a very successful season under the direction of Coach lelsch. The Frosh won l4 of their scheduled 25 games against some of the toughest competition in the state. Some of the tougher opponents met by the freshmen were: Calvin Reserves, Ferris Reserves, Western State Frosh, Wayne Frosh, Highland Park lunior College, University of Detroit Frosh, and the Ditzler Color Co., the Class A champions and only undefeated Class A team. The Frosh pulled an upset by defeating the Calvin College Reserves in a game played as a preliminary to the varsity game between the two schools at the Hackett Field House. The contest was a see-saw affair which found the Tech freshmen in front at the end of every period, and they finally emerged the victors by a 41 to 36 score. This brought the Frosh revenge for the 52 to 42 defeat handed them at Grand Rapids on an earlier date. The Lawrence Tech Freshmen also boast of two victories over the Wayne University Frosh, one over the Ferris Reserves and the Highland Park Iunior College. They also won playoff births in the Highland Park Class A League. Clair Dunderman was the leading scorer and also by far the fastest man on the freshman team. He looks like good varsity material and he may be the one that Ridler will use in place of Ken Reas, the mainstay of the varsity team for the past four years. There were also some other fine players on this team that will be worthwhile additions to next year's varsity basketball team.

INTRAMURAL BASKETBALL The Intramural Basketball League season opened with six teams partici- pating, Blitz-Kriegers, Spit-Fires, Top-Hatters, Kromas, Badgers, and the All Stars. There were many good games in this unusually fast league with the Top-Hatters, the Spit-Fires and the Al Stars dominating the play. The Top-l-latters ended the regular season on top with a record of five Wins and one defeat. The Spit-Fires ended their season a good second with four victories and one defeat. The two top teams then engaged in a three-game tournament for the championship of the league. The Spit-Fires emerged vic- torious in the first of the three-game series by defeating the Top-Hatters 47 to 39 in a fast, exciting, hard fought game. The members of the two top teams of the league were as follows: TOP-HATTERS SPIT-FIRES Mgr, A. Huhn Mgr. I. Klinec N. Graor A. Butler R. Spier I. Kluka C, Krause K. Weisse B.
