Detroit, Michigan Two Presented by the Graduating Class LAWRENCE I .-of- NSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Three DEDICATION Education must be lifelong is the motto of Professor Iohn S. Rackway, genial chairman of the Drawing Department. Always willing, always helpful, always considerate. and always conscientious is Uncle Iohn, under whose tutelage all students must directly or indirectly come. Ready to aid every student, Uncle Iohn carries an amazing assortment of knowledge and teaching experience under his portentious belt. Starting his teaching career at the Municipal Engineering School of Berlin. where he later occupied a professor's chair, Professor Rackway fled the inhumanities of the Nazi's to teach the refugee Chinese students in Shanghai. From China he was called in 1940 to teach at Lawrence Tech. Though amazingly versatile in his knowledge of Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Physics, Engineering Drawing, Music, and Architecture Cwhat he terms frozen music l, he still finds time to be an active member ot various engineering and educational societies in addition to collecting stamps, direct- ing a choir, translating technical German works, studying architectural history and remembering the first and last names of most of his past and present students.. For wit and wisdom, Uncle Iohn acknowledges no peer: for his untiring efforts in making us realize the importance of the dictum to learn is to learn thinking, we, the class of 1949, respectfully and gratefully dedicate this book to Professor Iohn S. Rackway. Four PROFESSOR IOHN S. RACKWAY Five FOUNDER . ,,,W,.,. YESTERDAY, TODAY, With the acquisition of a new campus, and the government's endowment of a million dollar building, Lawrence Tech takes on the rightful aspect of the engi- neering school of tomorrow. The story of Lawrence Tech is a unique one in the history of the development of engineering schools. Starting in an unpretentious building with a handful of students, the faculty and administration worked day and night to fulfill a dream-Lawrence Tech of Today. And the dream was achieved. Students from the four corners of the world now gather in the halls and classrooms in preparation for the educa- tional accolade awarded in graduation. Yesterday and today are realized: Tomorrow awaits. You, the Graduates of 1949, are the Lawrence Tech of Tomorrow. To you have been given the tasks of tomorrow's achievements. You have been endowed with the golden seeds of yesterday's knowl- edge. It is your task to make this knowledge blossom forth into the tree of fulfillment. Guard it jeal- ously for it embodies the hopes of the world. Use it well for it is the? heritage of your children. t In you is our Tomorrow! l 1 - TOMORRQW ,Seven ff . , f x xx x 9 9 X A JW I N ll 1 ' 4 - ., , . 73,4 'I V 1 ' k' V 'Z' f-f. .

The first two portions are combined and solidified by the time the student enters a school of higher learning. The third is in the formative stage and awaits the final mold and polish that can be added only by those instructors who, by their example, teach us to think independently and to use the tools of knowledge for their final application in our future life. These embody the qualities of the faculty of the Lawrence Institute of Technology. Thus, what we are upon graduation and what we shall be in our future lives is the example of the devotional ideals of these men. That they have succeeded we know: that we shall uphold the quality of their example is the task set before us. Therefore, we, the graduates, gratefully take this opportunity to present the faculty and administration of the Lawrence Insti- tute of Technology.

Greetings and shouts of welcome could be heard all over the school as groups of war-worn vet- erans came back to the school in which they had started their engineering education. It was strange to be back in a sanctuary of study: it was familiar to them and yet everything was new. For the next two years, other groups came home and took their places in the class rooms of Lawrence Tech. Here they joined pre-war friends and other classmates, readjusted them- selves to students' life, and continuously strove towards the goal which they had set for themselves. This, in brief, is the story of the men pictured on the following pages. Young men who carried the banner of freedom on the battlefields of the world so that they could practice that ideal in the classrooms of American colleges. These are the graduates of 1949. Respect them. They have conquered once and they are to conquer again.

To these men we leave the feeling of pride in being students at Lawrence and carrying on the traditions of character, scholar- ship, and interest which we formed here. We promise them all our support and wish them the best of luck. Sixty UNDERGRADUATES QU l, 'Inf' ' Q 86 Mx X .

Seventy-three FR SH Fraternities play a prominent role on the campuses of all American colleges. It is a natural sociological fact that people with common in- terests, desires, and backgrounds tend to gather and work to- gether towards their singular purposes. At Lawrence Tech fraternities play a leading part in the social and scholastic advances of the school. They form the back- ground of most of the important school activities. Whether on the field or in the classroom, the fraternity man takes pride in making his contribution to the school by building up school spirit and making school life interesting. It is this at- titude that has made fraternities so important at Lawrence Tech. Seventy-four FRATERNITIES I AR 4 ' . A 9 4 X ? aww xl, J? jr ?,fff'f I , Seventy-five W!

Subject to the strict approval and control of the student council, those seniors who have main tained a B average or better and have taken part in a prescribed amount of extra-curricular activi ties, are honored by membership in the honor fraternity, Lambda Iota Tau, which represents the Greek letters for L.

Alpha Gamma Upsilon is the second oldest social fraternity on the campus. Lawrence Tech's chap- ter, Epsilon, founded in Iune, 1933, is the fifth chapter of Alpha Gamma Upsilon. This year, with the founding of the tenth chapter the fraternity has attained the status of a national organizaion. This year the fraternity has the largest and most active membership list in its history. Alpha Gamma men have participated in many extra curricular interests here at Lawrence Tech. Among these are their activeness in student-government which can be seen by the high percentage of members holding responsible positions in undergraduate organizations. The fraternity's journalistic zeal paid off as the Epsilonian won the Iournalism cup award last year. The chapter paper is a strong contender again this year. Included in the past season's social calendar were bowling leagues, bridge tournaments, challenge games in all sports and a Christmas Party given for needy children. In addition to the many social functions provided for by the fraternity, Alpha Gamma Upsilon has always endeavored to brighten and enlarge the future of Lawrence Tech.

Kappa Sigma Kappa, represented on the Lawrence Tech campus by the Michigan Chapter, is the second of a triumvirate of national fraternities that sprang from the Virginia Military Institute in the Civil War Reconstruction days-Alpha Tau Omega in 1865, Kappa Sigma Kappa in 1867, and Sigma Nu in 1869. Although the Kappa Sigma Kappa history spans eighty-two years, the Lawrence Tech chapter's affiliation is of more recent date-January, 1948. High spots of the past year's social activities were the Spring Dance at Bonnie Brook Country Club and several joint social affairs with Michigan Alpha Chapter of Kappa Sigma Kappa at Detroit Insti- tute of Technology. In December, 1948, Michigan Beta organized and executed a blood donor campaign for the Veterans Administration Hospital in Dearborn. Eighty KAPPA SIGMA KAPPA F.

As the 1949 school year comes to a close the members of Phi Kappa Upsilon can look back on a year of merit and ahead to a promising future. A healthy and active fraternity can be one of the greatest assets of Lawrence Tech: this is the prime purpose of the fraternity. Phi Kappa has been pledged to the betterment oi the school and its activties from its founding and each passing year has shown progress to this goal. The progress that has been made since its reactivation after the return ot the members that were in the service has been largely due to the men that are leaving at this time' due to graduation: the job ahead of them was big and they have done well. The fraternity activities ofthe last year included two pledge seasons, the annual dinner dance, the inter-frat dance and several picnics. ALPHA CHAPTER President ........................,.,...

There are two chapters of the Rho Delta Phi Fraternity on campus at the present time. The Alpha Chapter is composed of night school students and the Beta Chapter is made up' of day school students. Rho Delta Phi is purely a social fraternity, but it takes an active interest in all school affairs and endeavors at all times to promote the interests ot the school and to promote cooperation and good will among all of the campus groups. The Rho Delts took an active lead in the setting up of the Inter-fraternity Council and its associated activities. The Rho Delts have taken an active part in student government and publications and have placed many leaders in other campus groups. The year 1949 was a banner year for the Rho Delts. The fraternity reached a record membership with two good pledge seasons. This year marked the launching ofthe Alpha Omega Chapter for alum- ni members. The fraternity maintains a bowling league throughout the winter month and assembles frequently for summer outings during the vacation months. ALPHA CHAPTER President .............. .................

This scene took place at the Annual Inter-Fraternity Dance where all the fraternities combined their promotion talents to put on one of the highlights of the combined fraternity social season. Realizing that all the fraternities on campus were basically formed for the betterment of high ideals at Lawrence Tech a council composed of representatives from the four fraternities was formed to cor- relate certain activities and interests for their mutual benefit. One of the primary functions of the council is to screen all pledge candidates for scholarship and regulate the opening dates of the rushing season. The council also keeps record of a calender oi activity dates and in conjunction with the Student Council facilitates a smoother and more enjoyable social sea- son for the active Tech student. l ig ...

This is especially true of a technical school, where the student must keep abreast of technological advances as well as provide social outlets for himself. For these multiple purposes, various organizations have come into being at Lawrence Tech as an outgrowth of student interests. Among the variety of organizations active on campus are the Soaring Society, the Tech News, the S. A.

The interesting and colorful displays seen around school for the past year which have attracted students in every branch oi engineering hold iorth the American Chemical Society's activeness in their work. The A. C. S. brings to the Chemical major here at Lawrence Tech a closer relationship to the chemical profession in keeping with L.I.T.'s motto oi Theory and Practice. Sponsored by Mr. Ryan of the Chemical Engineering Department, the society conducted field trips which included a tour through the chemical laboratories of the Great Lakes Steel Corporation. The showing of educational iilm at their meetings proved to be cz great asset in fostering closer ties with the student and industry. The intricate displays and models constructed by members ot the Society included an attractive feature on Neon Lighting and a miniature scale model of the mineral extracting process oi a copper mine. Highlight of the Societyls social season was when the Tech Chapter acted as host to the Detroit Sec- tion of the American Chemical Society at the Rackham Memorial. Members of the A.C.S. receive copies oi the Chemical and Engineering News and incorporate con- temporary advancements in their study of the field of chemistry.

A desire to encourage interest and advance their knowledge in the field of astronomy prompted a group of students, sponsored by Mr. Thomson of the Math Department, to organize the Astronomy Club. Since their organization in September of 1948 the members have designed and constructed a 6 inch reflector telescope as one of the constructive projects planned by the group. In conjunction with the telescope construction, the members conducted a tour of the Observatory at Cranbook Academy. While there the members observed many stellar phenomenon including double stars and the rings of Saturn through an eight inch variable power telescope. Since the formation of the club, the members have had the pleasure of hearing many interesting lectures pertaining to the field of astronomy. Here at Lawrence Tech they heard Dr. Brewington's interesting account of The Expanding Universe and Mr. Bagby's lecture on The Extent of the Uni- verse. The group also journeyed to Ann Arbor to hear Dr. George Gamon, who is an expert on Astro- physics, lecture on The Evolution of the Universe. In addition to the lectures given by prominent members of the faculty and experts in the field, the members held seminars and round table discussions on topics in the field of astronomy for which they have special interest. The club has shown itself to be one of the most rapidly growing organizations on campus with an increasing number of activities planned to accommodate the interest here at Lawrence. An interest in the field of astronomy is the only requisite for membership in the club. Ninety-three SOCIETY OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERS OFFICERS Chairmen ................

The purpose of this organization is primarily to facilitate the exchange of knowledge in industrial engineering problems and to give the student engineer a clearer understanding of how such problems are met and dealt with in actual practice. The society also keeps abreast of new ideas and important events in the industrial field. This has been done in the past by tours through local industrial plants, lectures by men who are engaged in this type oi work, literature from various companies and State examinations for registered engineers. At present the Industrial Society is in the process of reorganization. The primary purposes will, of course, remain the same and many of the old functions will continue as in the past. Fortunately, how- ever, there is expected to be a broader and more complete coverage of interesting material available to all members of the society. ' Prof. L. C. Bagby, Industrial Engineering department head, and Dr. Edwin Graeiie, Dean of the Business Administration School, are faculty advisors forthe society.

Membership in the Civil Engineering Society at Lawrence Tech has become a must for students majoring in the field of Civil Engineering. The society has been instrumental in the development of the Civil Engineering department and has done much to advance the required relations between class- room work and the latest developments in the field. Field trips during the past year have taken members out to actual job sites where professional methods and techniques can be observed and made valuable to the engineering student. The members also carry out experimental tests and prepare soil specimens for use in the laboratory sessions. The compilation of data of this nature has proved invaluable to the student as well as the engineer in the field. - Affiliation with professional groups and the obtaining of current periodicals and data have been an- other important factor in bringing about closer ties with the latest practices. The society is primarily technical and membership is open to all students majoring in civil engineer- ing. The group functions through the Civil Engineering department with Mr. McClurg currently acting as its faculty advisor. Ninety-five INSTITUTE OF AERONAUTICAI.

The rapid growth of the Aeronautical Engineering Department at Lawrence Tech gave rise to the need for an organization of professional standing for the advancement and dissemination of know- ledge of the theory and practice of the aeronautical sciences. The Lawrence Tech Student Branch of the I.A.S. has been very active in the encouragement of pro- fessional consciousness by presenting films, sponsoring lectures and attending national discussion meetings. Some of the films presented during the past year have featured the theory and characteristics of rockets, jets and gliders. Highlight of the year's activity was the Second Annual Dinner at the Rack- ham Engineering Memorial in conjunction with the Tri-University Aeronautical Paper Competition.

The Lawrence Lensmen camera club was re-organized in September 1948, after it had remained dormant for two years. The main purpose of the club is to acquaint interested students with photo- graphy and supply them with a suitable darkroom in which to develop the proper photographic tech- niques. At the present time the club has a darkroom with a complete line of accessories for the amateur photographer. In the past lectures have been held to familiarize the members with the basic funda- mentals of photography. Meetings are held regularly but are open to members only. fix Ninety-seven SOARING SOCIETY t OFFICERS President ...................... Charles Vranian Secretary ...... .....

Since its inception in 1946, the Lawrence Tech Soaring Society has made enviable progress in the advancement of motorless flight at Lawrence Tech. The present society. under the sponsorship of Prof. George Martin, is a re-organization of the pre-War Soaring Society. Beginning with a limited amount of materials and facilities, the Soaring Society has constructed and flown a Midwest utility glider, now being used for training purposes. The Society has acquired a set of wings for converting the present glider to an intermediate sailplane. Plans are now being made for the construction of a second fuselage for use with the sailplane wings. This will make it possible for the society to represent the school at the National Soaring Meet during the summer of 1949. The members are now eagerly attempting to log sufficient flights to obtain their private licenses. They hope to accomplish this feat by summer of 1949 to enable the society to sponsor an intercollegiate gliding meet, a project which all the members are anxious to see realized. The society has many other plans for the future, plans which, it is felt, will make the Lawrence Tech Soaring Society the most active and progressive organization in this area, and truly an asset to Law- rence Tech. ,t , if ' x 4 .. ,r - The glider group poses in front of their Midwest utility glider before a flight at the Windsor Airport.

A steady stream of information pours into the TECH NEWS Office daily to be channeled into col- umns of newsprint. The editorial staff picks out the facts, dolls them with a headline, gar- nishes the news with a few pictures and the result is the eight page bi-weekly tabloid that functions as the school newspaper. These efforts were ably guided by Editor Harold Price. Harold was assisted by Edward Chester, Wallace Croll, and Dick Larkins who filled the more responsible editorial positions on the staff. Leo Berlin and L. Iohn Hocking handled the photographic assignments, George Mulligan held up the business end of the publication and Herbert Cromwell did a fine iob in hand- ling the circulation department. Mr. Carl Ein- horn of the English Department was the faculty advisor. Top news story of the year was the account of the acquisition of the aircraft engine test- ing building, which the school had acquired from the War Surplus Board. Headlines from the TECH NEWS for the last year would read like a roll call of name bands, thanks to the ambitious policy of the Athletic Department. The TECH NEWS acting as a function of the student council consistently presented the stu- dents' viewpoint with a broad-minded scope of both sides of the question.

The Lawrence Tech Television Society consists of CI group Wl'1OSe main interests GTG the technical details of television, receiving and transmitting practice. They have built their own receivers and are currently working on a high frequency transmitter. They have built all their own testing and checlc- ing equipment, most of which during the time when materials were very hard to get and most items were made by hand from the basic raw materials. Membership is not limited to Lawrence Tech alumni, for students and several outsiders have joined. The group has been in existence slightly over 10 years and has pioneered the use ot television in educa- tion, The complete presidential inauguration was received on a projection type receiver, both at Law- rence Tech and at the Lincoln High School in Van Dyke, Michigan. The work done is entirely volun- tary on the part of members as well as the support of the organization and its equipment. Meetings are held the first and third Thursday of each month.

The Varstiy Club is an organization consisting of letter winners in the various intercollegiate sports engaged in by the Lawrence Tech Blue Devils. The purpose of the club is to promote good sportsmanship and to create a goal for all undergradu- ates to work toward in their athletic endeavors. The principal duty of the club is to award varsity sweaters and pins to letter winners in all sports. Graduating members of the varsity club are given emblem blankets by the club. The highlight of the season's social functions was the huge banquet held at one of the downtown hotels honoring the outstanding athlete in each sport. Noted sport celebrities were speakers at the banquet. One Hundred-five L. Iohn Hocking Photographic Editor THE 1949 The Lawrence Tech L-Book, that final and most prized addition to every Techman's library, is proof for their coming genera- tions that at least Daddy was exposed to a formal education. The make-up and compilation of copy for this year's annual was accomplished with the mutual cooperation of each and every staff member. Frank Marra as Editor with the able assistance of an editorial staff composed of Sam Dabich, Floyd Little, Charles Gray. and Iack Beamish have each contributed a proportionate share of their time and efforts towards the common goal: that of presenting, in behalf of the Senior Class, a year book worthy of the exten- sive activities and concerted efforts of the students of Lawrence Tech. The staff expresses its sincere and humble thanks to the many organizations and ac- tive groups that cooperated in the comple- tion of this year's book. In addition to the editorial staff the dili- gent labors of Photographic Editor L. Iohn Hocking, Sports Editor Walter Bazylewicz, and Faculty Advisor Mr. Carl Einhorn, can only be realized by being on the staff of a publication such as the L-Book. We, the staff, submit this book to you, the Graduate and Undergraduate members of the student body, in hope that it fulfills its purpose: that of recording for posterity the pleasant and fond memories coupled with the persistent striving for knowledge of your college days. Someday in the far future, may you shed a tear over the wilted and dusty pages in fond recollection of the days back at Lawrence. Mr. Carl Einhorn Faculty Advisor One Hundred-six '44 VT' ,...

This has been carried over into the life of the Lawrence Tech student. After pursuing full schedules during the week, the men pictured on the following pages have found time to devote themselves to basketball, base- ball, fencing, golf and other sports as representatives of the school. It is a natural truism that the impression given by a college team to the general public is often the sole impression of the school that the public retains. In fostering favorable impressions and in awakening a lively school spirit, the Blue Devil teams have been more than successful. Their exhibitions of good sports- manship and fair play, winning or losing, have enhanced the reputation of the school they represent and have developed the respect of their opponents.

The Blue Devils had played the toughest schedule in the school's history and proved itself a basket- ball power to be respected by large universities and state colleges. Following the successful pattern of the 1947-48 season, Athletic Director and Coach, Don Bidler pre- sented the Detroit sport fans as well as Lawrence Tech students with a season of big name basketball contests along with many evenings of sparkling entertainment. Once again through the auspices of Charles Bauervic and Arlington Motors the Tech home contests were broadcast by Al Nagler and tele- vised over WWI-TV. The basketball season, in conjunction with its great entertainment program. started off with a bang on Dec. 3, 1948, when the Blue Devils played host to Carnegie Tech. The Blue Devils outscored the Tartars by a score of 55-44. The brilliant post-game stage show featured Louis Armstrong, Ethel Waters, Fletcher Henderson, Jack Teagarden and the Day, Dawn and Dusk Trio. Coach Don Ridler's dream of Lawrence Tech having a big time basketball team was realized to some extent, as 9,300 fans jammed the State Fair Coliseum to witness this game and the entertainment program. The Blue Devils continued their winning ways by trouncing Tri-State College of Indiana 83-43 at Hackett Field House. In the third game of the season Tech's rampaginq Blue Devils, led by senior Carl Campbell, de- feated the North Dakota State Bisons by the sound score of 65 to 52.

In the fourth game L.I.T. took on another state college of the West. The South Dakota State Coyotes gave the boys a fight to the finish but again led by Campbell, the Blue Devils emerged victorious by the score of 55-51. Buddy Moreno and his orchestra, and a great stage show, were on hand following the game to round out the even- mg. The powerful Arkansas State team invaded the Col- iseum, only to have their dreams of victory snapped. The game ended with Tech on top to the tune of 64-54. The entertainment followed with loyal students and fans en- joying Leroy Smith and his Chocolate Revue. In the sixth game of the season Tech played South Carolina University. Once again the Blue Devils court formula proved effective as another victory was chalked up-66-53. The seventh victory came after a hard fought 45-43 encounter with the University of Colorado. Walt Macon- ochie came up with the winning basket with five seconds remaining in the contest. Walt's sensational 40 foot shot received the thunderous approval of the packed Col- iseum. The evening also brought the music of Ray Gar- rell and his orchestra coupled with an entertaining stage show. The sensational New Year's Eve Party was a huge success as Tech downed the University of Delaware quin- tet, 66-48. Gene Krupa and his orchestra supplied the music for 6,000 dancing people who greeted the New Year in and cheered out the old. This fabulous party was complete with balloons, noisemakers and all of the trimmings necessary for such a gala celebration. One Hundred-twelve At this point in the season, Lawrence Tech was on the exclusive list of unbeaten major colleges with only twelve others having survived defeat. On January 6 the Blue Devils took their first road trip of the season. The squad traveled by plane and the take off, via the American Air Lines, was a shaky one. The entire squad felt the wind squalls all the way to Syracuse. The results at Hartwick College were just as sickening as Tech ran into a foul-calling spree which saw a total of 34 personals called against the Blue Devils who had averaged about 12 personals a game previously. In the end Hartwick edged out Tech 73-68. At Syracuse on January 8, Tech ran into a red hot team which hit over 70 per cent of shots taken. The final score indicated as much with the Syracuse Indians victorious by a 91 to 39 margin. The Blue Devils returned to slap down Tiffin Univer- sity 84-47 and to take on one of the nation's leading quintets in Baldwin-Wallace University. The Yellow Jackets were red hot, having just downed the national invitational finalist, Bowling Green University, and the leading team of the East, namely, La Salle College. L.I.T., who walked on the court as the underdog, toppled the powerful Baldwin-Wallace team in a breath taking game. Dave Talbert pulled a Maconochie and popped in a basket with five seconds remaining in the overtime period giving Tech a stunning upset victory. The 12th victory in 14 starts, came at a cost to John Carroll University. The Blue Devils produced another thriller as the score indicates. Tech 69 - John Carroll 68. January 29 found the Blue Devils in new surroundings. Lawrence Tech forced to vacate their home court at the Coliseum, squared off against Niagara University at the Olympia stadium. This game furnished a thrill a second lim SWPISY Walt Maconochie Chuck Cqclcedo One Hundred-thirteen H Johnny Polance loe Knurek Bob Ulleg as it ventured into a double overtime before Niagara managed to best the Blue Devils 72-70 for Tech's third loss in 16 starts.

The Blue Devils on a Southern swing were tripped up by Florida University 84-58 in their third overtime battle of the season. Then the first road victory came as Tech downed Iohn Stetson 71-67. The next evening the Blue Devils managed to quell their road-trip-jinx and de- feated Plorida Southern 72-58. The fourth game of the Southern Invasion found the Blue Devils tiring as they were downed by Tampa Uni- versity 66-61 after holding the lead for 37 minutes of play. Cumberland College of Nashville, Tennessee, was easy prey as the Blue Devils rolled on to win 94-57 with the entire squad figuring in the scoring. The toll of playing ten games in seven days proved too much as Lawrence Tech bowed to a scrapping Ten- nessee Tech team 64-59. The long trip home after the Southern Swing found the Blue Devils facing St. Bonaventure after but one day of rest. The visitors' slow tantalizing style of play sub- dued the Tech cagers as they wound up on the short end of a 58-41 score. Led by senior Norm Hankins, Lawrence Tech recov- ered their vim and downed the University of Virginia quintet 71-56. A Creighton University took the honors at the close of the regular season by edging Lawrence out with a close score of 45-41. One Hundred-fourteen Lawrence Tech climaxed the season with an invitation to represent the State of Michigan in the National Inter- Collegiate Basketball Tournament at Kansas City. This marked the third successive year and the fourth time in six years that Lawrence Tech had been selected to rep- resent the State. Tech fought a terrific battle but lost to San Iose College of California 63-52. The end of the 1948-49 basketball season at Lawrence Tech left the Blue Devil fans with applause and praise for the team, Coach Don Ridler and a successful sports program. 1948-49 SEASON RECORD Lawrence Tech Opponents 55 Carnegie Tech 44 83 Tri-State CInd.l 43 65 North Dakota State 52 55 South Dakota 51 64 Arkansas State 54 66 South Carolina U. 53 45 Colorado State 43 66 Delaware 48 88 HARTWICK 73 39 SYRACUSE U. 91 84 Tiffin 47 64 Baldwin-Wallace 63 63 Tri-State ' 55 69 Iohn Carroll U. 68 - 70 NIAGARA 72 36 ST.

The 1949 season brings out a team composed chiefly of veterans under the tutelage of a new coach. Walt Bazylewicz. This is Walt's first venture into the the realm of squeeze plays, cut-off plays, batting orders. temperamental ball players, and the lingering headache of starting pitchers. Spring drills have shown that Bazylewicz is quite capable of moulding a spirited, winning team from the ranks of return- ing varsity letter winners.

Behind the plate the catching duties are shared by Bill Bowman, spark-plug of the Blue Devil squad, and Don Harlow, who is playing his first season with the varsity. Around the horn we have Dick Sinko, whose freak accidents are synonymous with his first base posi- tion. An unbeatable keystone combination composed of Bill Hane, atvaluable clutch player, and Ray, Spider Chojnowski, a smooth fielder and hitter. At third base are two capable veterans, Bob Theisen and Irving Cohen. For added strength a new addition, Don Iendrusch, serves as utility man about the infield. Looking out to the Blue Devils' outfield, we find Edmund Wojciechowski, a colorful left fielder with a mania for vicious hitting: Big Iohn Fontanesi, a hard hitting right fielder, and Felix the cat Polan. One Hundred-eighteen The 1949 season will offer cr real test to the Blue Devil squad as can be seen from the following schedule: April L.I.T.

The past season revealed the fencing team in its strongest position since its in- augural after the war. It has been organ- ized on a self-sustaining basis with the team members coaching new candidates. This eliminated the dependency of the team on any one individual and resulted in finer skill on the part of all team members in- volved. The training of freshmen helped fill the gap left by the loss of three varsity members of the team through graduation. The team completed the season with an enviable record of six victories to one defeat. The loss to the University of Illinois marked the first time the electrical epee had been used by the Lawrence Tech team. One Hundred twenty The closing out of this season brings to a close Coach Iim Campo1i's collegiate fencing competition. He organized and coached the team during his three years of competition and was instrumental in estab- lishing Lawrence Tech as a fencing power. He was ably assisted in his coaching duties by Dick Yasenchak who will foster the team after Campoli's graduation. Yasenchak has achieved a perfect record tor this past season chalking up 21 individ- ual victories without a defeat. This record is unequalled in the entire MidWest colle- giate fencing circle. Along with a winning season of colle- giate competition, Tech fencers have been highly successful in State fencing tourna- ments, winning nine out ot eleven contests.

Bottom row: Pete Gur- ski, I. MacDonald, and Al Tunia. Harold Helms and George Warner, Tech's two mainstays, are this season's major hope for a good showing. Of the first five games played this season Tech's Blue Devils can boast but one victory. The victory over Michigan Normal marked the first time in fifteen years that Tech has come up vic- torious over the golfers from Ypsilanti. Last season Helms' polished performance netted him a record of 10 victories, one defeat and one tie game. His action in the early sessions of this season's schedule indicates this record may be bettered. The schedule this season is set up as a challenge with Tech meeting the rougher competition in the earlier games, Six of the scheduled eleven games remain to be played at this writing.

This year's tennis team, under the expert tutelage of Coach Ralph Emig, jumped into their schedule by capturing victories in four of the first five games scheduled. With veteran Blue Devil court-masters as Iohn Blossom, Harry Braga, Don Ryder. and Marvin Smith returning and talented additions like Iohn Landis and Adolph Swiecki, Tech's racketeers'have shown victories over Ferris, Hillsdale, Canisius, and Niagara. With five of the season's ten scheduled games played at this writing the Blue Devi1's only threat to a victorious season lies in the match with Calvin, who have handed Tech their only defeat to date. Veteran Iohn Blossom entered this season showing better court action and will probably complete the season undefeated. Harry Braga's fine form has made him a consistently unbeatable mainstay of the squad. This season also showed Don Ryder as the most improved player on the squad. Top doubles combination for the season were composed of: Blossom and Smith: Braga and Ryder: and Landis and Swiecki. TEAM SCORES L.I.T.

Tech's Rifle Team completed this year's season of rough competition with a season record of nine wins and five losses in their postal matches while losing the three scheduled shoulder-to-shoulder matches. This season's team showed victories over Iowa State, University of Dayton, Harvard, University of Wisconsin, Cornell, Louisiana State, and University of Alaska. The three shoulder-to-shoulder matches, which were all played away, were lost to Ohio State University, Michigan State, and University of Michigan. The five high men for the season who will receive varsity letters are Lee Brooke. Jim Cumming, Ralph Wilhelm, Bob Dean. and Tom Howell. Team scores for the postal matches are compiled by running off a practice elimination of the mem- bers of the Rifle Club. From the resulting scores the ten competing members are chosen.
