Lehigh Men were leisurely listening to a football game in fraternity houses, dorms and homes all over Bethlehem when an an- nouncement came over the radio that Pearl Harbor had been bombed. That was the start. After three and one half years, the war which we thought would last a few weeks or months is coming to an end. But for 12 members of the Class of 1945, the end has already come. These 12 men, less than four years ago, were freshmen, hat in hand, listening to the strains of the Alma Mater or reading the inscriptions on the concrete plaques along Memorial walk; they will never hear the Alma Mater again. For them, the final taps has blown: Killed in the service of the United States of America. Soon, new Freshmen will be reading new names on memorial tablets in the Alumni building and on Memorial Walk. There will be these new inscriptions with the numerals ' 45. Lt. Wm. S.

This is the 1945 Epitome. Its production has been ac- complished by a mere handful of Lehigh men. While the past Epitomes have been put out by forty or fifty men, this edition ' s manpower complement was closer to four or five. Most of us were inexperienced, but we learned fast. Ve had to learn fast. We, of the staff, like to think that the Epitome is a part of Lehigh; a part of Lehigh which must be carried on despite monetary or personnel shortages. We feel that the 1945 Epitome represents Lehigh, Lehigh men, and Lehigh traditions. We have tried to represent Lehigh as fully and completely as possible, and we think we have succeeded. But, as in the case of all such enterprises, some things have been left out. We have especially tried to present a book which the gradu- ates of 1945 will be proud to own. In twenty five years the his- tory teachers will be asking youngsters, What happened in 1945? We hope the answer will be, The end of the second W orld War. But when our sons ask that question, we will answer, That ' s when I graduated from Lehigh. And at that time, twenty-five years hence, we will be able to shake the dust from this volume, open it, and remember Lehigh. WALTER RALEIGH OKESON To the spirit of Walter Raleigh Okeson we dedicate this page and the whole contents of thought and feelings given in this book to the history of events which have helped to make Lehigh what it is. Walter Okeson, class of ' 95, gave the best years of his life to building the financial security of the university and to the establishment of Lehigh as one of the highest caliber engineering univer- sities in the country. Only through such faith and work for Lehigh as Okey gave, can an institution survive the many difficult years that any privately endowed institution must face. He gave Lehigh his best, and Lehigh will ever be honored by the name of Walter Okeson as the champion of her cause. 8 DEAN PHILIP MASON PALMER When Lehigh men turn to thoughts of what makes standards in education, and to what makes educated men with standards, they turn instinctively to teachers who have inspired and taught them not only from the pages of books but from the pages of life. No other at Lehigh but Dean Philip Mason Palmer can answer so well to the title of master-teacher of knowledge and of life. When the University Board of Trustees needed a kev man to help fill the gap of the no-president era, they turned to Dean Palmer and appointed him chairman; but the greatest tribute that can be paid to Professor Palmer is that his students throughout the years have returned to Lehigh seeking renewal of the fellowship which began in the common bond of study in a class room.

We will finish with far less than one in ten of us here. Some, in fact a great many of us, have already graduated; another great group has been called to the service of our country; a few have gone and come back. And, as a result of the hostilities and Lehigh ' s accelerated program, the freshman classes that entered in June and October, 1942 and February, 1943 have become the Senior Class of 1945. So, it seems, this book is being presented by a group that calls itself The Class of 1945, but its only claim to the name is that it will graduate in the year 1945. The original Class of 1945 was welcomed, three months before the outbreak of war, by an editorial in the Brown and White which stated that we were en- tering Lehigh at a crucial time. As we look at it now, crucial was a greatly understated word. Today, we would pick, disastrous. That first editorial went on to say that we, as college students, were the generation that would solve the intellectual and scientific problems of the world. That editorialist didn ' t see far enough into the future and his eyesight was probably below Army and Navy standards. For if he could see the Freshman class he welcomed in 1941, as that class is today, he would see us solving the problems of the world, but not those problems of a scientific or of an intellectual nature. We weren ' t here long enough as the Class of 1945 to put forth many great leaders, but as freshmen we chose Chuck Austin Chairman of the traditional Frosh Banquet Committee with Paul Franz, Bob Moore, Harry Brindle, Jimmy Schwab, Tiny Mulhern, Bill Miller, Dick De Grouchy and John Ingram as his aides. As Sophomores we elected Harry Brindle class President and Austin Sec- retary-Treasurer. We had other leaders, but they only came into their own after the breakup of the class. The majority of the original class stayed at Lehigh for almost two years. In those days the draft regulations were lenient with engineering students. Many of that class took the Summer of 1942 off, despite the accelerated program, and the class immediately split into ' 45 and ' 45X. But that didn ' t detract from the class spirit and unity which was built up in those few short months before the seventh of December, Ours was a different kind of spirit. We all knew we would not be here long, so we went about getting our full taste of Lehigh, crowding four years of col- H lege into two year or two semesters or two months. As the University scholastic average dropped our enthusiasm for football and house parties, fraternities and activities and, of course, for Joe ' s and the Chor grew in intensity until the whole bubble broke with the calling to arms of the E. R. C, the air corps reserve, the advanced ROTC and with the recall of deferments for engineers. While we were here we had provided the backbone for the successful 1942 football team with Freddy Attaway, Dick Jorgenson, Harry Arant, Vince Moravec and the Schoener boys. Quin Raney had led Lehigh to the 1942 Eastern Penn- sylvania Intercollegiate Hockey championship. Fred Christ, Bob DeLong and Frank Winter had come up from the freshman wrestling team of ' 42 to become potential Lehigh wrestling greats, only to be whisked away by the call to the colors. We had almost caused a riot with our boisterous all night stand in line for houseparty game tickets and with our trek to Easton to paint the Marquis. W e had held the hoses at the Phi Gam and Chi Psi fires. We had danced to Sonny Dunham at our first Engineer ' s Ball in September, ' 41, and we had taken our tails and tux ' s out of permanent storage for those in- numerable last houseparties. But when Harry James and Will Bradley jammed us into Grace Hall in the Spring of ' 43 we knew that Morey La Rue would never again have to bear our wrath for the overabundance of starch in our dress shirts. That was the last time many of us saw each other and Lehigh. In July of ' 43 the A.S.T.P. came in and overran the north side of South Mountain and the civilian enrollment dropped to a new low. Paul Franz, Bill Bloecher, Bob Moore and Lou Domeratsky became Lehigh wartime campus leaders and we sponsored Fritz von Bergen and Pete Greenbaum as editors of the Epitome and the Brown and White. And now all of these men have graduated. Of the original Class of 1945 there are just three undergraduates left. These three have helped to make what is written above the History of the Class of 1945. Our History is not very long; our class didn ' t last very long. October, ' 44, heralded another fall, and another war class at Lehigh. This one was called the Class of 1947, and though it could claim but a hundred men, it marked the renewal of a lot of little things, tinted with the Lehigh we knew before that December clay of a few years, ago. These things that now seemed like innovations at Lehigh never made us lose sight of the great war that was still about us. For the service banner which hung solemnly, but proudly, in the Alumni building was covered with hundreds of stars representing classmates and friends who had left all of this to take on the newer and bigger job of winning a war. There were now sixty-six gold stars to 12 remind us of the price of finishing this job. m mm mnnm I im. wWWWpW ■•%?. 7- ! i: :i ' ' : . f r« : T T . ... :. ' ' v - i.iijyF- £ ' 35a2 As sure as time passed, things were sure to happen. And they did. One night during the Halloween season six fraternities, observing their usual custom of leaving their doors open, were rudely awakened the next morning to the fact that someone had been playing expensive pranks. Everyone ' s first thought w as that his fraternity brothers were carrying this Halloween spirit too far, but when a final inventory of wallets was taken 500 of those green things were missing. It was a clever execution of the art of high-speed robbery with the looters making one grand sweep that started with a combing of all campus houses, then a short trip crosstown to Pi Lambda Phi and Sigma Chi, and finally a brisk ' frisk ' of Theta Chi up on Delaware Avenue. This series of robberies did almost precipitate a financial crisis, for it struck nine days before the first big social week-end of the semester. Fear for an eco- nomic collapse of the affair was not taken lightly, but after much deliberation the plans were carried out as scheduled. These plans called for a gala prom to be preceded by the customary Saturday afternoon football game. Both events were well attended, and in spite of losing the ball game, everything worked out to perfection. Almost before the close of the social activities of the week-end Lehigh students were faced with one of their most important political issues of the year. A pre- election poll to determine Lehigh ' s choice for President of the United States was the climax to a hot campaign which rocked the campus for several wrecks. In- dicative of things not to come, Dewey ran roughshod over FDR. An almost unanimous petition for a three-day Thanksgiving holiday was made to the administration with the result that the students ate their turkey in Lam- berton hall. There was consolation in the fact that for the first time in two years, a pre- Lafayette game rally was held. A pajama parade (confined to campus), fresh- man skits, and pep rally all added to the pre-game color, and Lehigh spirits ran high. Something new was added to the social calendar when an informal dance w as held in honor of the football and soccer teams. Letters were presented at the affair and each member of the teams was introduced to the student body. The gay atmosphere of the occasion was augmented by the fine music of the Lehigh Collegians. Arcadia gave school spirit a shot in the arm by staging an all-University ban- quet at the Hotel Bethlehem. It turned out to be just what the name implied— everybody was there. A Danish mind-reader entertained with some neat little tricks like telling the third letter of your mother ' s maiden name, or your girl friend ' s telephone nimiber before she moved. The new year crept in quietly despite the fact that there were no classes New Year ' s Day. ' Win the war in ' 44 became a thing of the past but there was an- 15 ' - 16 other long hard year ahead. This was 1945 ah-eady and the Class ot 1946 was getting ready to gradtiate. Seems confusing, but accelerating, or whatever they call it, changed a lot of things. Everything seemed even more confusing when you took a look at the graduating class — down from 600 to a bare 27. The fall semester was brought to a pleasant close by the Interfraternity Ball weekend. Officially, a not so pleasant examination schedule marked its end. Nine men graduated and another 121, the last of the ASTP contingent, moved out. Fifty new men entered in February, many returning veterans being among that number. University enrollment was stabilizing itself at about 300. All or- ganizations and honoraries were still active, and over a dozen fraternities were still open and rushing. More than anything else, February ' 44 would probably be remembered for its cold. Putting a finishing touch on a winter, which had already convinced all freshmen that Bethlehem was the place not to be this time of year, this shortest month was probably the one of greatest activity. Besides exams, graduation, registration (the tickets are still a yard long), and Valentine ' s Day there were things like shovelling snow and sanding sidewalks to take up any slack time. The bitter cold was almost more than anyone could take; in fact, the boiler over at the SPE house wouldn ' t take it with the result that it simply blew its top. The name Lehigh came into the news on two occasions during the year. The first came when it was revealed that the tallest mountain on Pindoro Island in the Philippines was named in honor of the University. For the benefit of you Lehigh men vho may someday, through the courtesy of the Army or otherwise, be in the vicinity, you land on Pindoro Isle, follow the Bugsanga river until you hit the Centuroy valley, and then look for the tallest mount of the range em- bracing this alley. They claim it to be even more impressive than South Mountain! The other occasion on which the name Lehigh hit the headlines was in the christening of the victory ship S. S. Lehigh in honor of the college ' s continually fine educational service for the past 80 years. The baseball team appeared to be heading for a banner season; in its first two games it had stopped Villanova and Drew. Lefty Wilson, pitching his third brilliant season, was once again the mainstay of the team. Well, Spring was here, mid-semester reports were in, and the magnolia trees on campus were a month early with their blossoms. However, the cheeriest note of all came with the announcement that 200 men were expected to enter for the summer semester, the largest number since September, 1942. For Lehigh this may be a harbinger of a slow, but steady, return to full enrollment. - %M •v v ■, ' ■ ( :-.x- ■ ' ■ ' i ' ' -k f: :: , ' : ' ■ ' .-■ 1 y ' ' • - , 1 • i?? . :;i - ■Xv-.V ' r-n-c  A- ♦ - •s-iT iS - n -tfii.

Few of us envisioned with what speed and mandatory fate our lives would become so different. In fact, many of us are moving out in ' 45 though our class heritage should have been different. So it will be with many of the classes to come: they, too, will be subject to a riddling service call. Somehow we hope that the clinging hats to that terrestrial globe will symbolize better days for future Lehigh men, when ac- celeration, draft boards, and with these presents are history, and the great surge of peacetime pursuits in education can be resumed. But for all of us the world has become smaller, so the HATS of ' 46, ' 47, ' 48, and those to come will have less space to cover, but more to think about. 1 % .. n: ¥ ' : ' - ' V-.

PERSONNEL It ' s an upside-down world to both students and faculty or administrative personnel in 1945. Yet in this chaotic world we must cling to the vision of the world tomor- row. Our faculty and our administrators are those who draw up the perspective. No more appropriate intro- duction to the world of tomorrow can be made than an aerial view of Lehigh men going to classes. This bird ' s eye view surely is symbolic of more than physical dis- tance, for from the leadership of Lehigh ' s teaching and administrative personnel comes the Lehigh student ' s perspective of mental distance. : it r.«.

Dean Palmer, a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa, is also Dean of the College of Arts and Science. However, supreme and final authority over the policies of Lehigh University is vested in the Board of Trustees. Eugene Gifford Grace, president of Bethle- hem Steel Corporation and a Lehigh alumnus of the Class of 1899, has been a member of the board since 1913 and is now chairman thereof. The respective colleges of the University are headed by Deans Callen and Carothers and by Professor More. Dr. Tomlinson Fort is dean of the Graduate School. Dean Fort will leave Lehigh, where he has been serving as head of the Department of Mathematics, to accept a chair at his Alma Mater, the University of Georgia. The well-known engineering college here at Lehigh is headed by Dean Alfred Copeland Callen. Professor Robert Pattison More who also handles the job of Executive Secretary of the Graduate Faculty, is at the moment acting dean of the College of Arts and Science. The man whose job it is to see that the College of Business Administration lives up to its excellent reputation is Dean Neil Carothers. Dean Carothers, a one-time Rhodes Scholar, is now Macfarlane Professor of Economics. Dean Wray Hollowell Congdon, Dean of Undergraduates, serves as the link between administration and the student body. Dean Congdon has to handle some of the most difficult and delicate of all the administrative offices at Lehigh. Throughout these most difficult war years, the need for administering comfort, giving encouragement, and spiritual aid to young men in great conflict has been graciously supplied by Lehigh ' s beloved chaplain. Dr. Claude Beardslee. IN THE PICTURE: Dr. Claude Beardslee. Chaplain and Personal Adviser of Lehig.. University. 33 In charge of University Publicity are Messers. Herrick and Schick. Mr. Her- rick is executive secretary ot the Lehigh Ahunni Association and serves as Editor of the Alumni Bulletin. Mr. Herrick, who has just been drafted, is on leave of absence. Mr. E. Kenneth Smiley, the director of Admissions, is being ably assisted by Paul J. Franz Jr., who was graduated from the College of Business Administra- tion in 1944. Mr. Franz is a member of Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa. The difficult job of drawing up the university rosters is being ably handled by George Bartlctt Curtis, Registrar and University Editor. The pains-taking job of collecting student ' s money is thai ot Mr. Frederick Ralph Ashbaugh, the Bursar and Purchasing Agent. Mr. Ashbaugh has been in his present position since 1908. Mr. Elias Robins Morgan, Director of the Lcliigh Uni ersity Placement Bureau, is the man who gets the graduating seniors jobs. The physical appearance of Lehigh is kept up by Mr. Andrew W. Litzenberger, Supervising Architect and Superintendent of Buildings and Gromids, and his staff of workers. The traditional student hangout, the Sujjjily Bureau, is now under the supervision of Stanley Heffner. Without Dr. Carl Otto Keck and Mrs. Agocs, the entire Lehigh student body would by now be dead. Dr. Keck heads the University Health Service. One final mention must be made of the god-father of all learning. Mr. Howard Leach supervises the coming and going of the offspring of learning from the 265,000 volumes lined up on the various shelves in the University Library. This does not include the arious prize exhibitions now in the Treasury Rooms, and the various art exhibits - vhich constantly are brought 10 the Library for display. As this Epitome goes to press, the Board of Trustees has dissolved the three man committee and has made Kenneth Smiley, Director of Admisions, Vice President of the University. Mr. Smiley will be temporarily in charge of Uni- versity affairs until the selection of a new President is announced. IX THE PICTURE: Upper Brackets: Professor R. P.

Nowhere is this more true than with the faculty of the University. Once there vere one hundred and eighty men on the teaching staff. Now there art less than half that number. Once Lehigh had many capable teachers and scien- tists to make educated citizens of students and to maintain our traditionally high standards. Now, however, the same quality of ■ork must be maintained by a much smaller facidty cooperating with a fraction of the former student body. More difficulties have been encountered in the engineering college than in any other school of the University. The excellence of the research carried on has not depreciated although activities have had to be curtailed in some instances. A good deal of commendation is due the faculty in the engineering school for carrying on in the face of great obstacles and for keeping wartime standards on a par with the work that was so successfully effected when the University was operating on full scale. Dean Alfred Copeland Callen of the College of Engin- eering has been the administrator during these troublesome days. It is the purpose of the College of Business Administration to . . . provide a training in the fundamentals of business . . . . Dean Neil Carothers, a prom- inent national figure well known for his magazine articles and radio lectures, ably heads this college; and in spite of Selective Service difficulties he has run his department smoothly. The College of Arts and Sciences offers courses in about twenty fields under the guidance of Dean Philip Mason Palmer. This school is the broadest in the University, for it offers courses in subjects ranging from mathematics to music appreciation. The faculty in this college has the huge task of rounding out the education of all the students at Lehigh. I THE PICTIRES: Faculty of Business Administration Group: Diamond, Cowin, Carothers.

Under the able guidance of Professors Neville, Serfass, and Zettlemoyer, research work in cork, rubber, plastics, and paint was carried on. However, other departments such as English and Mathematics, also maintained a full steam program. Prof, lomlinson Fort, head of the department of Mathematics and Dean of the Graduate school, resigned during the Spring semester to take a post at his Alma Mater, the University of Alabama. Dr. J. B. Reynolds temporarily heads mathematics activities. When Mr. Schissler, our University auditor left. Professor Allen of the Business College was named to his post; when Professor Biggs of the English department asked for a leave of absence, Asst. Prof. Albert A. Rights of the same department, assumed his post. The Physics department has tripled its faculty since Professor Cheney and Scott have been teaching. In the Summer of ' 44, this department had depleted until only Dr. Charles C. Bidwell remained. The situation was so acute that that department was forced to call upon students to supervise the laboratory courses. However, the ' 45 Epitome finds the Physics building filling slowly but surely with new students and teachers. On the whole, the University in general is on the upswing. New courses are being added, new professors are arriving, and old curricula are being revised.

K 1 v k . i ' 0 f, 11 ACTlVimS A record of what a man does in his college days is not revealed solely in his grades. But a record to be com- plete must show how he lived, how he did things, how he grew to become a full personality — an enriched and cultured being. So the record of his activities must be written and pictured even though these are incomplete records, merely samples of the full living of university life. And in the mood of Edward Fitzgerald in his The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, there are four lines to underscore the picture: The moving Finger writes; and haxnng writ, Moves on; nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it. ■c 3C ,1 . c ' • ITH - x rJ 1 '  - t- TV fg (G) ORGANIZATIONS ORGANIZATIONS AT LEHIGH are in the category of groups that require election to membership. A membership in one of the various Lehigh organiza- tions is indicative of achievement in some field of extracurricular activity. Lehigh ' s organizations are riding the crest of a wave of enthusiasm. In the Summer of 1943, when the enrollment was cut by two-thirds, the majority of or- ganizations became dormant and a bare program of existence was set up for the few major honorary and government organizations. The dormitory council was no more; Arcadia drew into a shell of skeleton activity; Mustard Cheese adopted a program of shrinking and gave up use of the high school auditorium in favor of the bandbox Civic Theatre; the mem- berships of ODK, Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, and other honoraries fell to the point where activity only included election of new members; De Molay, Tone, Pi Tau Sigma, Eta Kappa Nu, and the various business and marketing honoraries merely left their records and books in the Dean ' s office to remain in- active until better times; DOT and debating, intramural and collegiate, were abandoned; and in general as more and more men were called into service even these remnants were further cut. The pages following describe the upswing of a majority of these organizations with new and broader programs. The enrollment is even lower than in Summer, 1943, but the Lehigh spirit has been reborn and with it even some new organi- zations have taken shape. Sigma Rho Sigma, a society devoted to Lehigh ' s tradi- tions, has been organized, and as a sign of the times the George Oliver EUstrom Veterans Club has taken its place as a powerful voice in student government. The returning serviceman will find in Lehigh ' s reborn organizations the Lehigh he remembers and left. The dismal picture painted in the 1944 Epitome has brightened and with determination and work the 1946 annual should rep- resent an even greater advancement. 43 44 ARCADIA ARCADIA, Lehigh Student Governing Body, came into being as a social gathering club. Founded by famed Richard Harding Davis, the groups ' object was a thorough enjoyment of beer, pipes, books, and stimulating conversation. However, such groups have a tendency to meddle, particularly in politics. So it was with Mr. Davis ' s contemporaries. When in 1922 the heads of all living groups became the official membership, Arcadia was recognized as the most powerful campus organization. Its powerful membership created real campus authority and unity. In the late ' 20 ' s a new campus organization gained the spotlight in student government. This group, the Lehigh Union, was founded in 1928; by 1938 Arcadia was existent in name only. However, at that time a merger of the two societies was effected and the name Arcadia was retained. The newly formed group had the old traditional name, but had the powers of modern Union. The membership included the class presidents, a member chosen at large by the whole student body, and the presidents of the most influential campus activities. Since 1938, Arcadia has had many campus duties such as the organization of Freshman week activities, football smokers and pep rallies, and Flag Pole Day. It has operated a Campus Community Chest, supervised elections, published the Freshman Handbook, and appointed student members to various university committees. The coming of war and the drastic reduction in Lehigh ' s manpower hit Arcadia hard. The activities were cut by one third and a starvation budget was set up to get the government organization through the war years. The mem- bership was reduced as one or two member societies ceased functioning and class officers were replaced by a popularly elected five man committee on classes. The fall of 1944 was the occasion of the first all-university banquet in Lehigh ' s modern history and this was followed in 1945 by two similar affairs. The fall 5-man committee. Bob Mayer, chairman. Bill Boothby, Warren Fox, Bill Day, and San Wilson took the lead in restoring such old Lehigh customs, as frosh regulations, Lafayette smoker complete, and student concert lecture pre- sentations. Arcadia ' s new innovation, the Sports Appreciation Dance, was given to honor letter men.

Although curtailed in these war years, they are at about two-thirds of their peacetime strength. The constitution of the council was adopted in May, 1919. The purposes of the council as stated in this constitution are to promote a more intimate friendship between the various fraternities and the student body, to develop closer relationships among fraternities at Lehigh bv means of Interfraternity athletics and affairs, to lend a wider support to all university functions, and to attempt to promote further the welfare of the University in general. The Army Specialized Training Program, whose men had taken over the housing facilities of many on-campus fraternities, vacated these houses in May of 1944, permitting their re-occupation by their remaining members. The officers of the Interfraternity Council at this time were Bill Day, president. Bill W ehner, vice-president, San Wilson, secretary, and Dick Craig, treasurer. Since then, there have been three changes in leadership. Bill W ' ehner is now president, Al Vetrosky. vice-president, and Bill Schwemlein, secretary. The election of these men was held in the fall of 1944 and Dick Craig retained his position as treasurer. The Interfraternity Council has sponsored two dances since last spring; one in September and the other in January of this year. IF has taken its usual active part in the direction of Intramural Fraternity athletics. Competition in Inter- fraternity football, basketball, wrestling and softball was as keen as ever. The rushing problem was again faced by the council this year. Vith an ex- pected increase in enrollment, this question again takes a position of paramount importance. One of the most important accomplishments of the Council vas its investigations of fraternity scholarship. The findings and recommendations of this committee will be most useful when the question is seriously considered in post-war years. The council is also investigating cooperative food buying as a post-war consideration. IN THE PICTURE: Interfraternitv Council: Back Row: Zimmerman. Browning. Bod ine. lacocca. Dinon, Goodman.

The jnnpose of the club can be divided into three parts: first to recognize juniors outstanding in scholarship and extracurricular activities; second, to form a discussion group on the policies of the university; and third, to render useful service to the university as the club and faculty see fit. Cyanide has weathered the crisis of the last few years without sacrificing any of its ideals. Membership has dropped from the twenty normal to seven, but the organization still functions much the same as ever. Every semester the club works on some special project, such as an investigation of facilities at Lehigh for intercollegiate athletics and intramural sports. The current project, on which the club has been busying itself for the past few semesters is an investigation of student-faculty joint committees, both here at Lehigh and elsewhere. Cyanide also administers the freshman regulations which ha c onh recently been revived, in addition to running j)ep rallies, torch parades, and the like. MUSTARD AND CHEESE MUSTARD AND CHEESE, Lehigh ' s dramatic society, has sustained its ac- tivity in spite of many hardships in trying to produce shows when members of the cast and stage crew were taken for service. By taking a small show. Petticoat Fever, to the Civic Theatre with Allan Goodman, Ken Sherwood, and Ed Heller as the leads, the club gave a rousing show for the summer semester. As difficulties arose in trving to get Lehigh attendance across town, ii was decided to give the next sho ■ in the old standby, Broughal High, e en though the work entailed increased (onsiderabh. By taking two semesters for jjrej aration, the club decided to do Time of Ynuy Life by W illiam Saroyan. a faxcriie play of former members of the club. Vith Allan Goodman as Joe, Dick MacAdams as Kit Carson, Jon Epstein as Tom, Warren Fox as Krupp, and Mel Ramberg as McCarthy, the cast was solid . Mention must be made of the fine support of the girls from the Ci ic Theatre who gave excellent cooperation. Mustard and Cheese has not yet given up the idea of Lehigh in Review, a musical review of Lehigh ' s history high-lights; in fact, Dave Simons just before leaving for the service wrote a song that will be inspiration for future work.

The Lehigh Xi circle was installed in 1925 and since that time has represented the goal of every activity minded student. Each year approximately three per cent of the junior and senior classes are tapped with the traditional blue carnation. The purposes of the fraternitv are to honor the students who have shown sound moral character and the most effective leadership in student activities; to unite some students and some members of the faculty and administration in working for the development of a greater Lehigh; to inspire other students to tr) ' unselfishly, for the University ' s sake, to achieve the University ' s ideal of moral and executive manhood. PHI BETA KAPPA PHI BETA KAPPA, oldest Greek letter fraternity in America, was founded at VV illiam and Mary College, Williamsburg, Va., in 1776. However, its present standing as one of the most famous of all college honoraries did not develop until 1883, when the United Chapters were created. The Pennsylvania Beta chapter of the honorary was founded at Lehigh in April, 1887, through the efforts of several Lehigh professors who had felt the need for such an organization on the Lehigh caiupus. The pledges to Phi Beta Kappa are chosen each year from the outstanding seniors in the three colleges who have shown scholastic excellence in non-tech- nical subjects. Selections are made by the Executive Council of the chapter from seniors of the Arts College, the Business College, and the curricula in Chemistry and Physics. Four seniors from the technical curricula may be elected in any one academic year. The number usually chosen in normal times was approximately twenty. How- ever, with reduced enrollment, this number has likewise become smaller, so that from the classes graduating in the last year the following were elected: June 1944, D. P. Scobey, R. R. Williams, L B. Born, R. A. Evans, R. H. Boll; October 1944. P. J. Franz, H. G. Lauterbach; February 1945, V. W. Fox. IN THE PICTURES: Omicron Delta Kappa: Back Rozf. Franz.

The society had its inception in 1923, at the University of Illinois. Since then it spread rapidly, until at present there are in the neighborhood of forty chapters. Lehigh ' s chapter was started in 1930, and has become one of the best known organizations on the campus, at least among the underclassmen . The primary requisite for membership, technically, is an average of 3.50 during the freshman year, although, due to the exigencies of war, this require- ment has been lowered slightly. In spite of the war emergency and depletion of enrollment. Phi Eta Sigma has remained one of the fullest organizations in the University. The dozen mem- bers are only slightly fewer than the normal complement. TAU BETA PI THE TAU BETA PI ASSOCIATION was founded at Lehigh University in 1885 by Edward H. Williams )t., professor of geology, to mark in a fittting man- ner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates in engineering, or by their attainments as alumni in the field of engineering, and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering colleges of America. Since its birth sixty years ago, Tau Beta Pi has grown steadily until today when there are seventy-two chapters in America, including chapters in every leading engineering school. Among the members of Tau Beta Pi are numbered some of the country ' s greatest industrialists, engineers and scientists such as Eugene Grace, Tom Girdler, Irving Langmuir and Charles Kettering. Election is open to seniors who rank in the upper fifth of their class and to juniors in the upper eighth of their class. Honorary memberships are sometimes granted to faculty members or to outstanding alumni not already members. This spring Dr. Bela K. Erdoss of the Mechanical Engineering Department was elected.

Closed to civilian use since June, 1943 when the ASTP moved in, the dorm was reopened just a year later. Vith the reope ning came the re- organization of the Dormitory Council which disbanded when the Army took over all housing facilities on campus. Although the proctor system was employed in Drinker House, all affairs con- cerning life in the dorm were decided upon by the Dormitory Council, consisting of two representatives from each of the five sections and with the proctor as a member-at-large. During the summer semester. Bob Mayer served as president of the council with Bob Treser as secretary-treasurer while the fall and spring semesters found Ed Schweitzer as president and Bob Polstein as secretary-treasurer. The main problems of the council during this period of rejuvenation were the re-establishment of freshman duties and other dormitory traditions and the adjustment of the many new freshmen to college life. TOWN COUNCIL ORIGINATING IN 1939, the Town Council was instituted to represent those Lehigh men who were neither Fraternity nor Dormitory men. In this group are included all town men living in Bethlehem and its surrounding communities. The principle underlying all Town Council activities, outside of its functions in representing the Town Group in all student government activities, has been to increase good will among Town men. Enjoying the temporary position of being the chief living group when the dormitories and campus fraternities were invaded by the Army Specialized Trainees in 1943, the Town Council has declined in the past year, with the reopening of the dormitories and fraternity houses. However, the Council has nonetheless carried out its program to unite the town men. chiefly in intramural athletics, student directories, and dances. Perhaps the biggest undertaking was the Town-Dorm dance, held in conjunc- tion with the dormitory last September, 1944. To men who are geographically distributed over many square miles of the surrounding area, such events in gen- eral, and the establishment of a Council, in particular, serve as the only activi- ties that have as their chief interest the welfare of the town man.

The fall initiation banquet was held in conjunction with Tau Beta Pi. Pro- fessor Gilbert E. Doan spoke on the problems for the new generation. The spring initiation banquet was held with Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu; Professor Schulz of the Department of Government and History was the principal speaker. Pi Tau Sigma continued the awarding of the mechanical engineering hand- book to the highest ranking freshman mechanical and industrial engineer. More noteworthy was its activity in planning for and renovating the engineer ' s lounge in Packard laboratory. The national parent fraternity was founded at the University of Illinois in 1915, and the Pennsylvania Theta chapter of Pi Tau Sigma at Lehigh was char- tered in 1927. Since its founding the group has furnished the smoking lounge in Packard laboratory. The Lehigh chapter was installed by John Martens, Lehigh ' 94, who then was national secretary. There are thirty-one active chap- ters in engineering schools of the nation. DE MOLAY THE DeMOLAY club at Lehigh was organized as a result of the efforts of many students to continue in De Molay activities after coming to college. The Club works in close coordination with the Wilbur Chapter Order of DeMolay in Bethlehem. The Club has been hard hit by the decreased enrollment. However, the group still holds weekly meetings. Plans are being made for a trip to the Poconos this summer. Other forms of activities are discussed but plans for participation have not been acted upon as yet. VETERAN ' S SOCIETY THE GEORGE OLIVER ELLSTROM VETERAN ' S SOCIETY was organ- ized by discharged servicemen at Lehigh in the Fall of 1944 to continue the spirit of comradeship developed in the armed forces, to orient veterans to Lehigh and its traditions, and to aid them in readjusting themselves to civilian life. Membership is extended to all Lehigh students who have served 90 days or more on active duty in any branch of the armed forces. The Society has been in- strumental in the establishment of aptitude testing and tutoring programs for the benefit of the veterans at Lehigh.

The group has representatives, elected from all publications on the campus, which hold regular meetings at which all grievances of publications are freely aired. This semester Pi Delt is making plans for a journalism forum, to be held early in May, to which representatives from all local High Schools will be invited. STUDENT CONCERT LECTURE THE STUDENT CONCERT-LECTURE Series Committee was formed in the early thirties by several student leaders. It now comprises six student and three faculty members. The purpose of this group is to arrange programs for presentation to the student body. Funds are obtained from each student at the registration period. In the past the committee has presented The Marriage of Figaro, Anne Brown, star of Porgv ' and Bess, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Paul Robeson, the Trapp Family, and many other outstanding entertainers. SIGMA RHO SIGMA SIGMA RHO SIGMA is one of the newest societies on the campus. It was founded bv a few students who were interested in the histon.- of Lehigh and in passing the information, along with Lehigh customs and traditions, to new men. The purpose of this group is to dig into Lehigh ' s past and record all informa- tion for future use. In time the society hopes to have a complete file on Lehigh, SRS is now undertaking the publication of the Freshman Handbook. TONE THE FORMATION OF TONE in 1937 was the work of several Lehigh men who were deeply interested in classical music. The purpose of the society is to foster the interpretation, appreciation and composition of classical music. Mem- bership is open to men of all classes who have a deep interest in good music. Tone has made arrangements with the Music Committee to again make the Capehart Music collection available for student use. IX THE PICTURES: Pi Delta Epsilon: Back Rmr: Wehner. Fox. Boothby. Pettit.

The society was founded by a group of students of the class of 1928 who realized the need and desire for such an organization. The society had just about dropped out of existence when an extensive intra- mural debating contest was held for the Williams Prize. Ten teams participated and faculty members acted as judges. The Delta Omicron Theta initiated a movement which climaxed in the forma- tion of the Lehigh Valley Debating League, by having an organization meeting at Lehigh with Prof. Gilmer of Lafayette as the speaker. The schools that formed the nucleus of the league were Moravian College for Men, Muhlenberg, Cedar Crest, Moravian Seminary for Women, and Lehigh. After the initial meeting, regular meetings have been held at the various other member colleges where debates, open forum discussions, round table discussion, and Oregon Style debates have been given. Teams representing Lehigh were sent to Columbia, Haverford, Ursinus, Tem- ple, Gettysburg, and Dicksinson, while Lehigh was host to these and many other colleges for debates and forums. PI MU EPSILON THE PENNSYLVANL GAMMA CHAPTER of Pi Mu Epsilon was inaugu- rated in 1929, replacing the Lehigh Mathematical Society. Since the granting of its charter, the society has endeavored both to honor those men of high attainment in mathematics and to increase the men ' s interest in the science. This last purpose is effected by means of monthly meetings at which talks on mathematical subjects are presented by both student and faculty members. The Lehigh chapter is especially honored in that the National President of the society is a resident faculty member. During the war period, the group has endeavored to carry on with greatly reduced membership and has held several highly informative meetings in the past year. Students from all branches of the University are eligible so long as they have shown excellence in at least two years of mathematics and have also shown an inclination to further studv in the realms of mathematical science. 60 IN THE PICTURES: Delta Omicron Theta Debating Group: Bark Roiv: Goodman.

Last summer the Brown and White aban- doned its policy of publishing twice a week, due to the decreased staff and student body. This was the first change in its publication status since its appearance in 1894. Since this move the staff has steadily decreased in size, and at many times the burden of writing and publishing the paper has rested on the shoulders of a very few men. The normal staff complement of over one hundred men has dwindled until now there are less than a quarter of that number actively en- gaged in the paper. During the past vear the Brown and White has held weekly Editorial Council meetings, attended bv all staff officers, at which the editorial for the following week is thoroughly discussed, and suggestions made as to the actual writing of the editorial. In this manner the paper has been able to form an editorial policy which has been consistentlv constructive, and, where criticism seemed in order, it has endeavored to make this criticism constructive by pointing out ways in which the difficulties could be surmounted. Now under discussion at the editorial council meetings is the possibility of combining the features of a magazine with the regular publicational material of the paper. The plan, as it now stands, would call for the monthlv publication of science, or something closely connected with the student body. Financial difficulties have also been taking their place with the troubles of the paper. Despite the work of the advertising staff, the paper is operating in the red — has been, ever since the exodus of the Army Specialized Training Program from the campus. In spite of the fact that the paper holds each week the maximum of advertise ments it can carrv. the sharp decrease in circulation, following the enrollment decrease, has caused the paper to incur a loss. The Brown and White combines an extra-curricular acti itv ith a course, and offers a one hour credit in Journalism for each semester a student completes on the staff. Honoraria is awarded after a certain length of time, and service bonuses are awarded to the higher officers on the staff. Robert W. Mayer held the editorship of the Brown and White during the last summer semester, and part of the fall semester, until his doctor ' s orders forced him to retire. Robert M. Treser then took over his duties, and holds them now. IN THE PICTURES: Brown v White Group: Back Row: Gerb. Abelow, Barttett, Baer, Epstein. Tove, Lourie, Douns. Front Row. MacAdams, Treser.

At first the new statT for the 1945 Epitome seemed to get awav to a flying start; luider tlie editorial management of Edward Gross, it seemed that organization was primary, and with a real zest the accumulation of edits as to be tc p notcli: likewise the photographic angle got away to a fine prospect under Herb Kynor. Then trouble arose; Herb was taken ill and dropped out of school, and John Hanlev was drafted from Brown and AVhite to take over the numerous assignments that vere laid out. John brought with him Ed Orcutt. a freshman. These t o foiuid that the -work ahead was tremendous, more than their school work would allow vith all the troubles piling up in lacks of film and printing paper. But these two managed to get some fine results in spite of numerous stopblocks. Even then general production would not have been too confused had Homer Gross pitched the whole game, but because of illness, he found himself having to drop some courses, and at a critical stage in the game he dropped out of school. This placed the final binden on his assistant editor, Dick MacAdams who took time out between semesters to finish the publication so that it would be ftd filled according to contract. One of the most permanent records of Lehigh life has always been the annual yearbook. To keep this chain tuibroken throughout the year has been a necessary obligation to tuii ersity life; and to do a fine job in presentation of each Senior class ' s achievements has been the creative purpose of every Epitome staff. No better challenge to aspiring business and editorial students can be e idenced than the competitive demand for a worthv pidilication to keep the record straight . This has been the chief desire of the Epitome editors of the 1945 issue. To make the Epitome pay for itself in these times was an intricate problem. Under the business eye of Bill Wehner and advertising acumen of Bill Boothby, the staff feels that at least it could keep its head above water, though the days of surplus funds haxe faded temporarily. With the additional help of a fine department of subeditors, such as Don Shettle, AVarren Fox, and Lido laccoca, the completion of the ' 45 Epitome was made possible. The deadline date was postponed several times, but with the gracious apology: So much work, for so few.

However, the group carried on in the same excellent manner. The Band was founded in 1908 but did not become the organization which it is at present until 1926 when Dr. Shields, faculty director, obtained music, in- struments and uniforms from the disbanded Bethlehem Steel Company Band. The traditional formations between the halves of the home football games, for all of which the band played, were, while not on the large scale of pre-war davs, still enjoyed by the spectators. The Dad on Dad ' s Day and the famous heart of houseparty time still made their appearance. As usual the ROTC regimental reviews were given added color and spirit by the band ' s appearance. Freshman and Sophomore members of the band are ex- empted from taking military science and tactics and ROTC drill which other underclassmen find compulsory. The Band is one of the most successful student-managed organizations on the campus. Student officers are responsible for the conduct of the group. COMBINED MUSICAL CLUBS THE COMBINED MUSICAL CLUBS consist of the Glee Club, The Col- legians, and the Symphony Orchestra. This combined organization coordinates the activities of the three member clubs. The Glee Club is an outgrowth of the Chaped Choir, founded in 1875. Since that time the choir has undergone several changes. In 1885 the choir divided to form the Glee Club and the Mandolin Society. In 1910 the present Glee Club was founded. Prior to the war this club was the largest of the three and the most active. Concerts were given before public and private audiences and fre- quent trips were made to nearby cities and radio stations. The college dance band, the Lehigh Collegians, has played for home and out- side events. The band is under the direction of a student leader and the super- vision of a faculty member. The Symphony Orchestra has been hard hit by the present emergency. At present the club is inactive but it will be reorganized as soon as there are enough men to carry on the work.

Joseph Rengert, Lido lococca, William Murray, and Mel Ram- berg were President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer respectively. During the summer semester, Mel Ramberg, Dick McAdams, Bob Cramer, and Bill Boothby were elected to the same offices respectively. The chapter held meetings every month which were well attended. Prominent speakers from such firms as the Wright Aeronautical Corporation, and the Fisher-Porter Flowmeter Com- pany gave talks on interesting subjects in their fields. Most talks were concluded with interesting movies on the subjects. Professor Larkin serves as honorary chairman to the local branch of the society. CAMERA CLUB THE CAMERA CLUB was reorganized during the summer semester of 1944 after a period of wartime inactivity. Through the particular efforts of Willard A. Murray and John Hanley a program of considerable interest was built for those who were interested in learning something of the fundamentals of pho- tography. In fact, the club ' s explicit purpose was to give an elementary course in amateur photography. (Ownership of a camera was not necessary). The course attracted many students of varied interests in photography. The club held indoor and outdoor shooting sessions during which principles learned in the lectures were demonstrated. These informal lectures were climaxed by lectures given by Dennis of Dennis Photo Shop and Arbogast of the Bethlehem Photocolor club. The camera club activity was especially spurred by its collaboration with the Epitome and Brown and White staffs. Although film and materials grew scarcer as the terms proceeded, the club succeeded in maintaining its purpose. 68 IN THE PICTURES: ASME Group: Back Row: Boothby, Spillar, Ospina, Richards, Lourie, Inglese, Huyett, Friedman.

The club is composed of students in the curricukun of Engineering Physics. As evi- dence that the society is thriving, last semester there were thirteen members. The society is, however, not yet up to its former standards. Only two meetings are held per semester. Meetings included, last semester, a talk by Professor Cheney on Opportunities in Physics . Dr. Pfund of John Hopkins University will give a lecture this summer on Recent Developments in Optics, during a combined session with the Lehigh Valley Physics Society. CHEM SOCIETY THE LEHIGH UNIVERSITY Chemical Society, founded in 1873, is still one of the most active societies on the campus. Its aim is to help its members to get a broad outlook on topics of current interest concerning the chemical industry by presenting noted speakers. New officers were elected at a picnic held last summer at Dr. Anderson ' s farm, after a rousing baseball game and a swell sujjper. As usual the annual Christmas banquet was a howling success. The banquet was held in the faculty room of Lamberton Hall. There were no main speakers, but Dr. Neville and Dr. UUmann delivered short talks. After the singing of Christmas carols the group adjourned to the Chem building where the students gave an Alchemy show. The final feature of the evening was the presentation of presents to the faculty by a student Santa Claus. This banquet, one of the highlights of the entire year ' s activities has become famous as one of the best society functions. NEWTONIAN SOCIETY THE NEWTONIAN SOCIETY is the Freshman Honorary Mathematical Society, and as an inspirational, highly selective groiqo of young students its purpose is to encourage interests in various subjects of mathematics which are not covered by the usual routine of course requirements. Those freshmen pos- sessing high rank are invited to become members. Professor C. A. Shook, faculty adviser, was chief lecturer this past semester.

The first student branch of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers was established at Lehigh University in 1902. This was accomplished through the efforts of Professor-Emeritus Charles Scott, who attempted to bring the college students and the men of the electrical in- dustry closer together. During the accelerated program, the policy of the society has been to hold two meetings and a picnic each semester. During the past year picnics were held at the Zinc Mines and at Monocacy Park. The traditional Christmas party was a big success. Harry Sechrist was toast master, Donald Hamme portrayed Santa Claus, and movies were furnished by Paul Buehler. At the regular meetings during the year, interesting talks were delivered by high ranking engineers from Philadelphia Electrical Company, Philco Corporation, and Radio Corporation of America. Each meeting was followed by formal refreshments on the balcony. The faculty counselor of the Electrical Engineering Society is Dr. C. C. Brennecke. PRE-MED SOCIETY THIS YEAR SAW the re-organization of the Robert W. Hall, pre-medical society, for pre-med students, biology majors, and all other students interested in the techniques of the medical profession. The society had been impotent for a number of years due to the lack of students during the war, but since a large number of pre-meds and bio-majors came to Lehigh this year, the society was able to resume its former functions. At the first meeting Maurice Dintenfass was elected president, and David Gerb was elected secretary-treasurer. Dr. Trembley consented to remain faculty adviser for the society. Since this reorganization, the society members have made a number of visits to St. Luke ' s Hospital in Bethlehem to observe operative techniques. The society has also shown several films for its members which dealt with medical subjects, such as operations, curing of diseases and visible symptoms of ailments. The society is now quite active and intends to remain so as long as there is a sufficiencv of students interested.

That is a novel and important experience in a college man ' s life; at Lehigh he finds the brotherhood of man is a three-way organization: fraternity-dorm-town group. All three offer different patterns of living, but all three have shown vitality as social groups in the composite known as Lehigh life. The picture of the three lads shows the clink that precedes the toast to Lehigh bro- therhood. i ' ' .

These Delts have, as in prewar days, taken part in many Lehigh activities. Delta Tau Delta boasts members of Cyanide, Omicron Delta Kappa, Phi Eta Sigma, New- tonian society, and Phi Beta Kappa. The Delts are active in Brown and White, Epitome, Tone, the Band, and the Collegians. DTD is also active in sports with members of the varsity football, wrestling, baseball, basketball, track, and soc- cer teams. IN THE PICTURE: Delta Tau Delta: Back Rozc: Herder. McGonigle, Compton.

There Kappa Sigma flourished as a brotherhood to band honest people against the tyrant Balthasar Cassa, later Pope John IV. In 1867, five men who had been introduced to Kappa Sigma abroad, foimded the first chapter in America at the University of Vir- ginia and since then Kappa now boasts 1 1 2 chapters Beta Iota chapter of in 1900. and the members since that date. The present St., has been occupied for 45 years Kappa Sigma has high, many men have left and fame; among whom is AIEE, ASME, the Lehigh Sigma has grown until it in the U. S. and Canada. Kappa Sigma was founded have lived in four houses location, 25 East Church twenty-three years. In the been represented at Le- Beta-Iota to attain success Nevin Fiuik, president of Alumni, and chairman of the board of the Philadelphia Electric Company. Kappa Sigma at Lehigh boasts men on the Football, soccer, rifle, and baseball teams and the captain of the swimming team. In intramural sports, Kappa Sigma is among the leaders. The Kappa Sig touch football team is undefeated since 1941, the basketball team lost the championship by one point in the final game last year, and the Kappa Sig wrestlers missed winning the 1944 inter- fraternity wrestling championship because of one of the wrestler ' s sickness, and seven points. At present. Kappa Sigma is active in many honorary societies, boasting men on the Chemistry Society, Newtonian Society, the president of the Lehigh branch of the AIEE, and recently graduated president of the ASME. In other fields, Kappa Sigma is represented in Arcadia, Mustard and Cheese, and the DeMolay Club. Since the Fall of 1942, when Kappa Sigma had a house full, 28 men, the mem- bership decreased to four last Summer, and is slowly increasing, now having eight members at school. Due to the great decrease in enrollment. Kappa Sigma is temporarily taking in boarders in order to remain open until the war is over and then to resume normal operation. 78 I THE PIC.Tl RES: Kappa Sigma Group: Back Rmv: Heilman. Allen.

LAMBA CHI ALPHA AT THE TIME of the publication of the 1945 Epitome, the Lambda Chi house is resting quietly on Fountain Hill. Its halls no longer resound with jovial Lambda Chi spirit; its j:)ool table no longer witnesses Lambda Chi at play. The windows are boarded; its rooms are dark. Lambda Chi has gone to war.

In them burns the brotherhood known at the laware Avenue. This chap- brought to Lehigh in 1926, will someday open again. The jovial spirit of manhood once typifying Lambda Chis will once again take its place at Lehigh University. Before the war Lambda Chi boasted of members in all branches of extra- curricula activities. It had men in Cyanide, Arcadia, Tau Beta Pi, Phi Beta Kappa, Tone Society, and Omicron Delta Kappa. Its men were on all the varsity athletic teams, especially the football squad. Lambda Chi ' s were out for all interfraternity sports, having many trophies to their credit. In general, to say He is a Lambda Chi is to say He is a good Lehigh man. Men of Lambda Chi have always been a credit to Lehigh and will be so again after the war. Today we find men who left 514 Delaware Avenue in the Armed Services spread from the broad waters of the Pacific to the battle grounds of Germany. They fight so that we may live in peace and so that their posterity may enjoy the American Heritage they knew so well at Lambda Chi Alpha .

The six founders met secretly the day after Christmas, 1848, to bind more stronglv the deep friendship and miuual interest that existed between them.

At the beginning of the Summer semester, the chapter again moved, this time to Delta Phi and later on in that same semester, moved back into its own house where it hopes to remain. At present, there are six brothers in the active chapter with high hopes of continuing through the emergency and building up to normal strength after the war. Although depleted in numbers, members of the Lehigh chapter are active in varsity football, baseball and rifle teams, and are represented on the soccer and basketball squads. Phi Delts are also active in the Glee Club, Band, and Delta Omicron Theta. Because of the few members, they were tmable to enter into any intramural sports on their own, but they helped make up a championship Softball team while living at Delta Phi. Nothing much of consequence has happened to the Phi Delts during the last semester except that memorable night when several gentlemen attempted to deprive them of a few personal valuables, although the thieves got awav with little compared to their haul in other houses, they provided much excitement in the chapter.

This year, members of the fraternity have the distinction of being elected not only to Phi Beta Kappa, but also to Tau Beta Pi and Omicron Delta Kappa, national senior leadership society. One man is also mentioned in the American College Who ' s Who. During the past year. Pi Lambda Phi has been very active in all parts of campus life. There were Pi Lam ' s on the varsity football, soccer, swimming, track, wrestling, tennis, and basketball teams.

Pi Mu Epsilon, and numerous other clubs and societies. Likewise in the past year, this fraternity has striven toward leadership in intramural athletics. 84 IX THE PICTURE: Pi Lambda Phi Group: Back Row: Bieiman, Epstein. Krauss, Mesirov. Baer.

This letter contains news items of interest and gives addresses of service brothers. Letters of appreciation have come in from all parts of the country expressing servicemen ' s thanks for this unique service. Members of the chapter have been active in many campus activities including varsity and interfraternity sports. There have always been Sigma Chi ' s active on the Epitome and Brown and White staffs. There are many brothers in course societies and honor groups. In the past Sigma Chi men have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, Newtonian, Phi Alpha Theta, and Delta Omicron Theta. Alpha Ro ' s have also participated on the basketball, baseball, swimming, track, wrestling, football, and rifle teams. In previous years Sigma Chi men have also successfully managed Lehigh ' s varsity teams. Although here as everywhere else the war has curtailed activities, Sigma Chi ' s record indicates a promising future when Lehigh returns to a normal existence.

Previously the fraternity was on West Foiuth Street, and later at the corner of Fourth and Wyandotte Streets. Sigma Phi Epsiion is dotibly unicpie as a fraternity; first, for its life member- ship plan, and second, for oped more than a quarter University during another widely adopted elsewhere, by Sig Eps .

Pennsylvania Epsiion of Sigma Phi Epsiion is reduced to five brothers and two pledges. Although no meals are served, the Sig Eps are determined to remain as much like a fraternity as possible, even if this means only keeping the house open. This spirit is evidenced by the national motto of the fraternity: Sigma Phi Epsilon ' s post war plan is to rebuild NOW, which appears on all cor- respondence from the national offices at Richmond, Virginia, where the first of Sigma Phi Epsilon ' s seventy chapters was founded forty-four years ago last November. In spite of all obstacles, Sig Eps have taken active interest in almost all phases of extra-curricular activity during the past year. Members and pledges are active in Band, Brown and White, Epitome, Debating, student government, Chem. society. Physics society, ASME, fencing and swimming. In the honors department, members and pledges are in Tau Beta Pi, Cyanide, Pi Mu Epsiion, Delta Omicron Theta, and Cut and Thrust. Among Sig Eps in national prominence are Secretary of the Navy, James Forrestal and Lt. Gen. Anthony McAuliffe, who distinguished himself recently at Bastogne, on the Western front, by replying Nuts to a German request for surrender. 88 IN THE PICTURE: Sigma Phi Epsiion Group: Back Row: Bartholomew, Hiiyett, MacAdams, Graber.

Going ahead with their idea, they founded an independent group called Upsilon Kappa. The development of this society was so favorable that, in 1927, the members peti- tioned Tau Delta Phi fraternity for a charter and received it.

Despite the war the Tau Delts have managed to maintain a full house for the past year. However, during that time, thev have experienced an almost 100% turnover. Due to the presence of so manv active brothers, the Tau Delts have been able to continue publishing semesterly the Tau News ' , a house paper put out for the purpose of giving all the alumni, parents, and friends of the chapter a report of what she has been doing at Lehigh each semester and any interesting facts about the alumni and their whereabouts. After the war, Tau Delta Phi shall be ready and willing to receive those of her brothers who were not able to finish their college careers due to the war and who wish to come back. Until that time, she wishes them a safe return. IN THE PICTURE: Top Row: Protter. Tenenholz. Binder. Greene. Segal. Dintenfass. Lourie. Wagman, Tove. Norris. Second Ron:: Gerb. Glatzer. Cohen.

With four actives and a graduate to point the wa , the house carried on a full activities program. Eight pledges and three boarders completed the house roster of sixteen, a number which repre- sents a loss of onlv six men in over a vear and a half. Theta Chi ' s social pro eluded its annual Christmas dances, all of which were now serving in the armed ing very active in all intra times in the house include game and a host of other Theta Chis are well ball, swimming, fencing manv other activities are gram during the year in- dance and numerous other well attended bv brothers forces.

Theta Chi ' s history at Lehigh began in 1927 with a local fraternity called Omega Phi Sigma. One of its primary aims was high scholarship, in which it was successful, since it ranked first in scholarship in five out of eleven semesters of its existence as a local. In 1934, it became the Alpha Sigma Chapter of Beta Kappa. However, in the spring of 1942, the entire Beta Kappa national merged with the Theta Chi national. There are now 72 chapters and more than 23,000 alumni members. The Lehigh chapter was the first Beta Kappa chapter to be installed in Theta Chi, when it became the Beta Sigma chapter in May 1942. An alumni chapter of the local fraternity acts as an advisory council for the imdergraduates. 92 IN THE PICTURE: Back Row: Baile. Purdv. Insjlese. Swift. McOuade. Secoyid Row. Montenegro, Karlick.

Like the other fraternities at Lehigh, however, ATO has weathered the storm and this has been accomplished in spite of the fact that only one active member for a brief period of time was at the helm. At the present writing, there are five active members. With the return of the chapter house to the Fraternity in October, 1944, after its requisition for the ASTP program, there were three active ATO ' S living at the Sigma Phi house. Then two of these were called to the service. Through the courtesy and assistance of the chapter at Muhlenberg, two pledges were initiated in November only to be taken into the Service a few weeks thereafter. Alpha Tau Omega, the first American fraternity to be founded after the Civil War, was founded at Virginia Military Institute, in Lexington, on September 11, 1865, and was incorporated as a recognized body four years later. In the begin- ning primarily a Southern fraternity, the organization spread northward in the i88o ' s with the founding of a chapter at the University of Pennsylvania, and the institution of the Pennsylvania Alpha Rho chapter at Lehigh in 1882, the sec- ond chapter north of the Mason-Dixon line. Surprisingly coincidental is the fact that Alpha Tau Omega was the second national fraternity to have a chapter at Lehigh. IN THE GROUP PICTURE: Back Rou : Enuvisle, Roberts, Groblewswi.

The Lehigh Alpha Beta Delta chapter house was built in Sayre Park in 1915, twenty-one years after the chapter was chartered by the national council. A disastrous fire leveled the lodge in 1940 and the house was rebuilt in 1942 only to be closed because of the extreme conditions of war. Chi Psi ' s had rep- resentatives on most extracurricular branches of campus life. DELTA SIGMA PHI ONE OF the youngest of Lehigh fraternities, Beta Theta of Delta Sigma Phi was installed at the chapter house on Delaware Avenue in 1932. In 1937, the chapter moved into larger quarters on Packer Avenue opposite the campus. This remained the chapter house until the living quarters were turned over to the University for U. S. Army use at the beginning of the war. Since the house was closed in the Spring of 1943, a small group of members has remained at Lehigh and carried on chapter business and rushing. DELTA UPSILON DELTA UPSILON, one of the oldest fraternities in the countrv, was founded at Williams College in 1934. Originally an anti-secret society its policy was changed to non-secret in 1881. It is now the only non-secret Greek letter fraternity in the country. 1885, Charles Evans Hughes, Brown, ' 81, presided over the in- stallation ceremonies officially bringing the Lehigh Chapter into existence. In 1909, Delta Upsilon built the first fraternity house on the Lehigh campus. This was occupied until 1943. Delta Upsilon was the sixth fraternity established at Lehigh. Among its alumni are Edgar Bergen of radio fame and Joseph Ken- nedy, U. S. ambassador to England . The D. U. slogan is D.U. in everything and every D.U. in something. PHI GAMMA DELTA AT LEHIGH the Beta Chi chapter of Phi Gamma Delta was founded on December 10, 1885. Major Frank Keck and J. W. French of Columbia University petitioned for a chapter and initiated the four charter members in the Old Sun Inn. Here the first chapter meetings were held. Two years later Beta Chi rented a few rooms in the old Post Office building at Main and Market streets. Later the first fraternity house was rented. As Beta Chi grew in size, other houses were occupied until, in 1922, its first house on campus was built. Destroyed by fire on February 9. 1942. reconstruction was begun immediately and was completed largely through the efforts of Dr. Loval . Shoudy and George R. Brothers. 95 96 SIGMA NU VHEX THE END of the Spring semester came in June 1943, the Xu chap- ter of the Sigma Xu fraternity wa drained by Uncle Sam of e ery brother, ex- cept one. ' ilh the consequent lack of adequate manpower to carry on, the chapter closed its doors, became inactive, and has remained in that state to this day. All of Sisrma Xu ' s sons no ' in the armed forces are looking forward with great anxiety to the day when they may once again return to their undergraduate studies. SIGMA PHI TX ' 11 77 the Lehigh Beta Beta Club received its charter to become the Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi Society. A year later on Delaware Avenue the chapter built the first university fraternity house. Until the present war Sigma Phi was an active group on campus, especially Avith its A ork on the Brown and White . However, vith the advent of wartime uncertainty the Alpha chapter was dis- astrouslv affected. In 1942 there existed a house of twenty-one brothers. By June, 1943, only three active Sigma Phi ' s remained. By accepting roomers from closed fraternities the house was able to remain open. Members of fi e frater- nities whose houses were occupied by the A.S.T.P. took up li ing quarters there. Although no active Sigma Phi s remain on campus, the house is still open in its wartime capacitv. THETA DELTA CHI NU DEUTEROX chapter, Theta Delta Chi, was established at Lehigh in 1884. It was the fifth national Greek letter fraternitv to be set up at the univer- sity. Permanent residence provided for in 1919 when the present house near the crest of Old South Mountain was built. In 1938 an extensive program of re- contstruction was undertaken. This resulted in a new wing and extensi e re- modeling. Theta Delta Chi was the first social fraternity to provide for a centralized form of government. This form of organization gradually evolved to the grand lodge method of government which is now used by nearly all the national fra- ternities. THETA XI ORIGIXALLY THETA XI was born when eight dissenters in Sigma Delta at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute withdrew from that fraternity and founded their own in April, 1864. At Lehigh, a Theta Xi charter was granted to the Eta chapter in 1903. Recently the fraternity was housed for several years in an almost palatial residence near the Bath Pike. In the early months of 1943 the mem- bership was larger than ever before. However, the uncertain existence of Lehigh fraternities was no exception here. At this time the Theta Xi group melted a vay to a bare half dozen men, forcing the chapter to close the house. Xow, repre- sentatives from Eta chapter may be found in all theaters of this global war. KAPPA ALPHA KAPPA ALPHA is generally considered the first secret organization formed a t an American college or university. It had its beginnings as a literarv and social order at Union College in 1825. In spite of the opposition of college authorities, it gradually grew until it contained eight chapters, at which time a policy was formed forbidding the addition of more. The Alpha Chapter of Pennsylvania was founded at Lehigh in 1894 by three members of the Class of 1893. During the past year. Kappa Alpha active members have been reduced in numbers to three. Most of this loss w as due to four members joining the Army and one joining the Xavy. The three remaining Kaps, however, have not been inactive. They have participated in University activities and in the acti ities of the Society. Members are on the Epitome, Arcadia, and Debating squads. .A. Kappa Alpha is Business Manager of the Epitome, President of the Inter-fraternity Council, and Pi Delta Epsilon and Omicron Delta Kappa. Kaps have also participated in football, basketball, wrestling, and rifle. During the year trips were made to the chapters at Penn and Union. I THE PICTl ' RE: Kappa Alpha Group: Back Row.

THETA KAPPA PHI WORLD WAR I disrupted the plans of a group of Lehigh students, who, for reasons of mutual interest, had decided to band together and form the Theta Kappa Phi fraternity. Shortly after the war, the organization was taken up anew by the men who had returned to finish their courses, and on October i, 1919, the fraternity was founded. Amalgamation with a prominent local fraternity at Penn State College was accomplished in 1922, thus beginning the expansion of Theta Kappa Phi to thirteen active chapters and ten alumni clubs. In the Spring of 1943, after having thirty-two of its members join the armed forces, Theta Kappa Phi was forced to close its house. At the conclusion of World War II. our fighting men will again return to carry on the traditions of Theta Kappa Phi. PHI SIGMA KAPPA PHI SIGMA KAPPA was originally founded at the Massachusetts Agricul- tural College on March 15, 1873. The Nu chapter was organized here at Lehigh in 1901 and was an active group until 1943 when the chapter house on Delaware Avenue had to be closed because the last Phi Sig had departed. Several men of Phi Sigma Kappa are included in the memberships of the various honorary societies, such as Omicron Delta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, Pi Tau Sigma, and Pi Delta Epsilon. PI KAPPA ALPHA THE GAMMA LAMBDA chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha has been inactive for the duration since May, 1943. At that time eight ROTC cadets were activated, and a month later, ten Naval Reservists and two Marine C orps Reservists de- parted for active duty. Earlier that Spring, three brothers had reported for active duty with the Air Corps. Since the chapter has been inactive, Pi Kappa Alpha has been represented on the campus by only one or two members at the same time. PSI UPSILON THE ETA CHAPTER of Psi Upsilon closed its house in June 1943, and has not since reopened. The University took over the chapter house for the Army in September 1943, and the house was not vacated until October of the following year. At the time of this writing there is only one Psi Upsilon undergraduate at the University and consequently the house is unoccupied and inactive. SIGMA ALPHA MU OVER TWENTY YEARS ago, in 1923, the Sigma Kappa chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu was established at Lehigh. During its twenty years of existence this chapter was always comparatively high in scholarship and in extra-curricular activities. The chapter had been an active living group for years, winning several times the Interfraternity Council cup for the highest house average. However, hit by the war as others were, Sigma Kappa lost over twenty-five of its thirty- three members in the spring of 1943. Therefore it was thought advisable to close the house for the duration. The society, though, looks forward to the time when a new house may be opened. 99 100 DELTA PHI THE DELTA PHI fraternity, founded at Union College in 1827, is the third college social fraternity founded in America. Xu chapter, the fourth National fraternity to appear on the Lehigh campus was started in 1884, and is at present located on Warren Scjuare. During its sixty-one years of existence, its members have plaved a prominent role in Lehigh activities and in professional and busi- ness careers after graduation. As is the case with most Lehigh fraternities. Deha Phi has been hard hit by the war. Of the six brothers who ha e been in the house since June 1943, and two who were in the ASTP until April 1944, only two remain. The others, as well as manv brothers vho left before them, are now scattered all o er the globe serving in the American . rmed Forces. When normal times return. Deha Phi vill again be an active fraternitv, taking full part in the life and acti ities of Lehigh University. ALPHA CHI RHO ALPH. CHI RHO fraternity was founded at Trinity College in Hartford on June fourth. 1895. The Phi Mu chapter at Lehigh as originally known as Theta Delta Psi until it was chartered by Alpha Chi Rho in 1918. The chapter used to own the so-called ' Crow House at Market and Linden Streets tmtil it disbanded in 1942 when the Army moved in on Lehigh in force. These fraternitv men were very active in various engineering societies and other honorary organizations. CHI PHI CHI PHI was originally founded at the College of New Jersey in 1824. The Ci il War caused its separation into the Northern and Southern Order. After the war the two factions reunited and the local Chi Phi chapter was the first fraternity on the Lehigh campus. The Lehigh Psi chapter was active on campus ever since its foundation in 1872 until it too was disbanded in 1942 because of the var. Lehigh Chi Phi ' s Averc alwa s particularh ' acti c in athletics and took part in almost all arsity sports. ALPHA KAPPA PI NU CHAPTER, Alpha Kappa Pi. was installed at Lehigh in February, 1930. . strongly organized group of brothers and pledges, Nu chapter was prominent in campus activities for over a decade. In 1933 the brothers moved into their present house at 514 Delaware Avenue. For a year after Pearl Harbor Alpha Kappa Pi showed no signs of weakening. However, in 1943 the reserve units of the Armed Services were suddenly activated. Finally, when the brothers in the Na al Reserve entered upon their official duties in July of that vear, the house was depleted to one-fifth its former size. For the duration, therefore, Alpha Kappa Pi has been forced to abandon its acti ities. BETA THETA PI BETA THETA PI was founded in 1839 and is one of tfie oldest and largest of the international fraternities. There are ninety chapters of which eighty-six maintain houses in various institutions throughout the United States and Canada. Beta Chi chapter of Beta Theta Pi, founded at Lehigh in i8gi, has long been outstanding in camptis activities. In 1926 the Beta Chi ' s opened their present house in Sa Te Park. Although the chapter functioned regidarly until Pearl Harbor, brothers began to leave for the service during the fall semester of 1942. When the A.S.T.P. came to Lehigh. Beta Theta Pi turned its house to the imi- versitv for quartering a part of the unit. This was only one of the eleven campus houses occupied for this ptirpose. Fairly recently the Beta house was reoccupied bv the chapter, which is carrying on as before, although activities are limited bv the war and by smaller membership. At present there are four brothers, Ted Xiewenhotis, president; Bob Parker; Roland Savidge; and Dick Seals. Several men are pledging this summer semester and it is expected that the house will be back to normal strength in a short while. •r l ' DRINKER, SECTION sA SECTION 2A has been actively represented in both sports and scholarship in the past year. There are many men from the section in the various activities on campus. For the last two semesters the section has been under the leadership of Avakian. section leader during the winter, and Cockley, the present leader. Rej resenting honorary Greek letter societies are Bob Mayer, Tau Beta Pi, and Carl Zimmerer, Valentino Assetto, Leo Achterman, and Ronald Jefferv, members of Phi Eta Sigma, freshman honorary. This record is trtdv commendable. Al- though dorm men are not so restricted as many of us, their averages are usually ecjuallv as good as men in other living groups. Under direction of both Cockley and Kolb the section put a good basketball team on the courts and developed a football team that was runner-tip in the dormitory competition. The 145 wrestling championship also goes to 2A. DRINKER, SECTION 2B THE OUTSTAXDIXG ACHIEVEMENT of section 2B was its intramural football team which won the dormitory championship. The section should com- mend its excellent team. The basketball team won two of the four games played. The bowling squad did as well. On the mats the section wrestling team copped the 165 pound title in competition involving all university living groups. In the journalism field the section has the business manager of the Browm and Vhite . In student government at Lehigh the section has a man on the Five Man Committee. All in all. section 2B has made a reputable record. DRINKER, SECTION 3A DRINKER HOUSE. Section 3A, was filled for the first time since the A.S.T.P. inoved oiu vhcn the dormitorv was once again opened for civilians in Jiuie, 1944. Like the rest of the sections 3 A was occupied mostlv bv freshmen whom a few solitary tipperclassmen had to initiate into college life. In varsity sports 3A was most acti e in football. In student government 3A has produced a member of Arcadia. The present editor of the Brown and White is a 3A man. In intramtnal sports the intramural wrestling championship was almost won by 3A men.

Mostly freshmen, these men were early initiated into college life. The section was filled with men who were to make a name for themselves in intramural and varsity activities. During the summer the 3B softball team won the interdorm championship with almost a perfect record. Also, the 3B teams were triple threats in intramural football, basketball, and wrestling. In fact, 3B copped the basketball champion- ship last winter and the wrestling title this spring. In varsity athletics 3B ' s chief claim to fame are her football letter men and her basketball stars. Finally, 3B has its journalists on the Brown and White . An Arcadia member and Mustard and Cheese stage crew chief is a 3B man. The war has caused many a change of face in 3B, but this section always seems to come out on top. DRINKER, SECTION 4 Drinker House, section 4, has led an active life in two semesters of exist- ence. A strong participation in sports and scholarship has been maintained. There are many good men in this section who have established excellent records. Bob Mertz is the leading participant in scholastic activities. A member of the debating team he has taken part ni national competition. He is also a member of Phi Eta Sigma Freshman honorary. Under the able guidance of Da e Randall, athletic manager, in swimming and wrestling the section took third place. The section president for the past two semesters has been Bob Mertz. Even though this section opened one semester later than those on the second antl third {if)ors of Drinker House, it has a fine record. 104 IN THE PICTURES: Dorm Section 3B: Back Row: Bingham.

COSMOPOLITAN CLUB IN 1938, George Tabet of Cairo, Egypt, and James L. Shirer, an American, organized the Cosmopolitan Club with intent to help foreign students with the necessary adjustments in a new life. The charter members consisted of thirteen foreign students and five American students desiring to discuss the culture and ideologies of the represented nations. Since all the members had had personal contact with different parts of the world, it was found profitable to discuss at length the different ideas and view- points held by the men. After the Club had been recognized by the university, a house on W est Packer Avenue was purchased and remodeled. This acquisition made the Club a regular living group. However, the house was vacated when the ASTP arrived at Lehigh. It has not been reoccupied since. At the present time the Club is composed only of foreign students living at the old Sigma Phi house. Xestor Blanco v Carranza of Peru is the president of the club. Victor Pineda of Venezuela serves as Vice-President, while Isidoro Benavides of Cuba is the secretary. From the other side of the globe, the Club has taken its advisor, Dundar Fuat of Turkey. Also in the Club are four men from S. A. IN THE PIC:TI ' RE: Cosmopolitan Club Group: Back Roiu: Blanco.

Many point to Lehigh ' s football teams in derision, but the derision should be quickly erased with the counter-point that Lehigh plavers are normal e eryday students who plav football, or any of the college sports, for the fun in the game. The strong intramural contests at Lehigh show that more and more the athletic development and planning is for everyone. So we chose to picture a typical Lehigh fun-loving crowd enjoying its share in sports. ' S- yl i. ,- -f-- ' l .«£ . V k Cv • V Vi FOOTBALL LEHIGH ' S 1944 FOOTBALL squad went through its second season without breaking into the win column, but the spirit showed by the Prendergast-coached outfit was an inspi ration to the loyal engineer followers. The initial call for candidates came early when a meeting was held on August 16th to determine if the sport would ha e sufficient player support. Thirty two men turned up at the gathering and a schedtde of six games was arranged. Carnegie Tech dropped football on an intercollegiate basis and the position reserved for the Pittsbtngers on our schedule was filled by the Drexel Dragons. Other games scheduled included home and home series with both Lafayette and Rutgers and an away game with the rough mountaineers of West Virginia University. Practice officially opened on Sept. 13th as thirty-seven hopefuls answered the initial blast of Coach Leo ' s whistle. The only lettermen on hand were Pete Kitson and Warren Fox, tackles, and Bob Treser, guard. The majority of the squad consisted of green freshmen sith little or no high school experience. Sporting a tricky new T-formation the engineer hopefuls went first to do battle with the Easton team on a field drenched by a constant downpour of rain. Despite the rain the Lafayette eleven defeated oin- hard fighting team with a beautifully executed passing attack. The score at the final gun stood at 44-0 despite the outstanding passing and kicking of Bernie Marcus and the stellar end play of lanky Ken Thiele. In succession the Lehigh team dropped a 13-6 game to Drexel and a 19-6 con- test to Rutgers. The next week the team journeyed all the way to Morganto vn, West Va., onlv to be sno ved inider bv an overwhelming score and to leave Capt. Pete Kitson in the hospital. The badly battered team returned to face Lafayette again, and the results ga e Lehigh its worst Lafavctte beating in the history of the long series to the tune of 64-0. The anti-climax to the season came in a thrilling closing game with Rutgers which ended vith Lehigh on the short end of a 15-6 score. Outstanding throughout the season was returned service veteran Al Granese whose fight and field leadership kept up morale in the bitterness of defeat.

The Brown and White opened the season against a Swarthmore team composed entirely of Navy trainees. The game was scoreless for the first period, but the Garnet went on to score 4 goals and win 4 to o. In the next game Lehigh out- played a fast Princeton team, but coidd not score. 1 he Orange and Black won on a scratch goal in the second j)eriod. The third game was the darkest point in the season. After five minutes of even playing, the University of Pennsylvania started scoring and didn ' t stop imtil the score was 13 to o. The Brown and White next met Haverford, and lost to the tune of 4 to o. In the only home game of the year, Lehigh bowed to the Temple Owls by the score of 4 to o. In this game as in all others, Captain Swede Lindholm was a tower of strength for Lehigh. In the last game of the season the Engineers travelled to Muhlenberg to try once more for a win and a goal, for in two years the soccer team had not scored a goal. It was Lehigh ' s day to shine, and the team scored not just one, but 4 goals, to win 4 to 2. SWIMMING LEHIGH ' S MERMEN, faced with the loss of all their lettermen except Cap- tain-elect Fax Landstreet, and with their coach, Dick Brown, in the American Field Service, were threatened with drydock for the season. However, with the volunteering of Bill Rooks, Lehigh Valley breaststroke and individual medley champ, as coach; and the appearance of Dick Mesirov, Upper Darby swim star, things began to look up. A call was put out for swimmers and a small team whijiped together in time for the Temple meet, first of the three-meet season. With Dick Mesirov winning three events. Bill Kilroy turning in a split-second win in the 100 yd. swim, and Fax Landstreet taking the 50 yd. dash and helping to win the final freestyle relay with a spectacular anchor leg rally, the Lehigh natators emerged triumphant, 41-33. The next two meets, a home-and-home series with Rutgers, were not so suc- cessful. Rutgers ' more experienced swimmers took the first meet by a 53-31 score, and the second 46-38. Dick Mesirov, breaststroke star, was entered in the National A.A.U. meet in New York April 6 and 7, but was eliminated in the second heat.

BASKETBALL COACH LEO PREXDERGAST entered the basketball season without one letterman from last year on tlic vcjuad. The team was no sooner beginning to take shape than several of the first team men were taken into the service and a new quintet had to be formed. And so it went throughout the season with new men breaking into the lineup every other game. About 23 hopefuls showed up for the first practice. Most of these men had some experience in high school or else they liked the game. Atlantic City Hos- pital was the seeding out practice game, and Leo was able to tell just what hi charges could do. Narrowing the scpiad down to 15 men. Coach Prendergast began earnest practice for the opening game with Muhlenberg. Deb Belmonte, Dick Culp, and Bob Hobe played well in this contest despite the 57-25 loss suf- fered bv the Brown team. The first game at lionic ■vsas lost to Lafavette 67-36 with Steve Barna pacing the attack ith 12 points. The team traveled to Xew Brunswick, X. J., onlv to meet defeat at the hands of a taller Rutgers team. The score read 52-49 with Frank Rehnert nabbing 15 of the Lehigh points. Back home the Bro n and ' hite quintet lost to Albright 57-47 in a very close contest. Once again it was Frank Rehnert with 15 points for the hosts. Then travelling to Lafayette, the Leomen could not avenge an earlier defeat, but lost 48-28 due largely to loose playing and heavy fouling. The Mountaineers broke into the win cohunn at Gettysburg with an over- time 44-38 victory. Frank Rehnert and diminutive Al Granese led the attack. Coming home Lehigh again won this time, handling Juniata to the tune of 55- 39, but turned right around to lose their following game with Muhlenberg 53- 26. Rehnert was the key man in both tilts. During mid-semester vacation the quintet lost two games to Rutgers, 47-31 and 47-34. Lafavette came over here and nosed out a close one 48-47 with the Lehigh hxe leading until the last three minutes of the cont est. Over at Reading the Engineers really fell apart and for the second time bowed to Albright — this time 74-38. Two more losses — one ' vith Rutgers bv the score of 52-36 and an- other to Gettysburg with the reversal of the former score, 44-38, brought the team to the final game with Lafayette. The season was closed with a 70-40 defeat. The much interrupted season shows two wins and fourteen losses on the record book, but this does not record the determination shown throughout the vear.

CANDIDS: In action. 113 WRESTLING THE 1944-45 WRESTLING season found famed Coach Billy Sheridan with a large squad of fighting youngsters with little or no experience. The only hold- overs from last year ' s very successful squad were Swede Lindholm and Ted Niewenhaus, the latter being the 1943-44 captain and holder of the runner-up spot at 55 pounds in the Eastern. Bill Bernard, Captain-elect and 175 pounds EnV champion, was on hand for the first meet but then left for service in the Merchant Marine. The season ' s record offered three wins and three losses with a fourth spot in the EIWA championships to the three service schools. Army, Navy, and Coast Guard. In Captain Bernard ' s only appearance on the mat this season he led the Brown and White grapplers to a 23-13 victory over Muhlenberg by scoring a thrilling fall in the first period over his opponent. Lehigh ' s Welliver, Niewenhaus, and Koran also scored falls while Lindholm came through with a decision in a tight match. The following week, immediately preceding Christmas, the Lehigh mat- men met and defeated a strong contingent from Swarthmore as Hinlein, Welliver, Margerison, Lindholm, and Niewenhaus came through with pins in a match that showed falls in every division. Most unusual occurrence in the proceedings was the double pin in the heavyweight division. Koran was pinned in 17 seconds of the second stanza, but came back to score a fall in 37 seconds of the last period to accoinit for the strange 28-15 score. After a three week lay-off the engineer ' s squad journeyed to Ithaca to face Cornell and here suffered the first defeat of the season and the first defeat for a Lehigh team at Cornell ' s hands in 11 years. The score 18-12 indicates winners gained their margins by scoring falls. Lehigh ' s winners were Hinlein, Welliver, Lindholm, and Niewenhaus. However, the squad bounced back to score a 24-10 victory over Princeton the next week. Before an IF ball dance crowd Hinlein, Turner, and Niewenhaus picked up decisions while Margerison, Lindholm, and Welliver scored falls. In a match with Penn, Lehigh dropped a close one, 18-16; Hinlein, Welliver, Lindholm and Koran scored victories for a team that had lost Niewenhaus to the sick list. In the Easterns Lindholm copped the 145 pound crown and won the coveted coaches ' trophy as the best wrestler. Welliver, 128, scored a second, while Niewen- haus, 155, and Hinlein, 121, picked up thirds. Navy copped the title for the sec- ond successive year that the championships were held at Lehigh. For the season ' s windup the squad was trimmed at West Point, 20-8, as only Hinlein and Lindholm won. 114 IN THE PICTURE: Wrestling Team Group: Back Ron ' : Day, Mgr.; Gerb, Koran, Hol- combe, Coach Sheridan.

Like almost every other sport, track had felt the effects of war. When the call for practice was issued bv Coach Prendergast, for the second year filling the shoes of Navy boiuid Jim Gordon, twenty five men reported. This group contained but one rettnning letterman, Don Shettel, miler, having had considerable experience with the 1944 track team. The only other men with anv training in collegiate competition were Ken Thiele, shot-putter, and Dave Herder, quarter and half miler, both of whom made good showings in a Prince- ton Invitation meet during the 1944 summer semester. Herder took second in the half mile and Thiele placed fourth in his event. AVith these boys as the nucleus, Coach Prendergast managed to build a well- balanced, but for the most part, inexperienced track team having at least one contender in each event. Five meets were scheduled, consisting of dual meets with Rutgers and Muhlenberg, the Penn Relays, Middle Atlantics, and Middle Three. TENNIS TEAM UNDER THE GUIDANCE of Fritz Mercur who has been cidtivating a fine caliber of tennis at the University these past few years a green tennis team started with btit two men of some experience in college ranks. Robert Mayer was the most seasoned player to be present when the racket squad prepared for its eight contests. In a schedule including Colgate. University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore, Muhlenberg, and Haverford, the squad lost four meets and won two. Midilenberg lost twice to the Brown and ' hite players; whereas Mercur ' s protegees dropped some hard fought battles to Colgate and Swarthmore. The games at home were all played on Steel Field. In spite of the difficult times the University has managed to keep the courts in good condition. The members of the squad consisted of R. Solomon, R. V. Mayer, B. Hinlein, F. Raiff, R. Laurencot, G. Smvth, A. Cohen. IN THE PICTIRE: Track Team Group: Back Row. Smith. Heilman. Snvder, Reinhrecht. Said. Waldor, Coach Prendergast. Zwart. Front Row: . belou-. Woods, Theile, Herder, Shettel. Church.

When the practice sessions for the summer season began, prospects for a winning ball team were pretty gloomy. Only a few of the spring lettermen returned and Coach Eb Caraway had to rely heavily on first semester freshmen for first string positions. In the first game four of these freshmen saw action and their inex- perience proved to be a deciding factor in the oiucome of the game. The team lost the game to a weak Holy Rosary nine by the score of 10 to 5. The Engineers then settled down and hit a winning stride defeating both Pembroke and Fountain Hill by sizeable scores. After losing a close tussle to the Bethlehem American Legion nine, they bounced back to win over Swarth- more in their first collegiate game. This tilt was featured by timely hitting, steady fielding, and a brilliant pitching job tinned in by Lefty AVilson, who besides hurling a one liitter, also led the attack Avith a long triple to center. Next on the schechile vas the hard hitiing High Bridge nine. The Engineers played well, but the Jersey team had too much experience for the collegians. Coach Caraway changed liis lineup for the next tussle, and it proved to be a smart move as the Brown and AVhite journey ed to Philadelphia to overwhelm a highly touted Penn hospital aggregation 16 to 4. The next game was a return engagement with the Legion team which the Engineers played to a tie. In one of the big games of the season the team lost a tough decision to Princeton at the Tiger ' s home field. During the following week Charley Tuttle pitched and won a double header from two local teams. On houseparty Aveekend Lehigh took a slugfest from Drew University 9 to 8. Attaway and AVinco fea- tured this game with homers. The Engineers were upset by Webb ihc folloAving weekend whh spotty field- ing as the team made eight errors ijchind Earl Compton, freshman hurler. In the climax game of the season Leftv AVilson pitched a three hitter to de- feat Princeton 7 to o. .As a whole the campaign was successful Avith the team playing better than .500 ball. The 1945 sjjring season is off to a good start with two straight wins over Villa- nova and Drew by the scores of 7 to 3, and 11 107 respectively. Prominent was the hitting of Mearns and the pitching of Wilson and Lindholm.

Through persistent effort the old equipment was supplemented with several new foils and sabers which permitted extensive practice and instruc- tion. The team was ably coached by Mr. Zolie Lemky, an outstanding fencer in the country. The team was strengthened by two holdovers from last year ' s squad in the form of MacAdams and Huyett. Two incoming freshmen with high school experience added greatly to the team. Letters were written to a number of colleges in an effort to arrange a schedule of meets, but fencing had been dropped from the sports activities of nearly all the colleges in this vicinity. The obtaining of equipment was the main drawback plus the fact that there was little available talent in a majority of the colleges. Thus Lehigh was forced to keep the sport alive here at college in the form of daily practices. A successful intramural meet in foils closed the season.

ARMY SPECIALIZED TRAINING RESERVE PROGRAM ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1945, the boys of Lehigh ' s ASTRP bid farewell to their adopted Alma Mater and headed for destinations unknown. Since that day news has trickled back of many of these air cadets who feel that Lehigh belongs as much to them as to any of the civilian students. ' hile here at Lehigh the reservist cadets completed two terms of a basic engineering curriculum which consisted mainly of courses in physics, chemistry, mathematics, history and geography. Vhen the unit entered Lehigh on August 2, 1944, it consisted of 190 men, but due to eliminations, scholastic and physical failings, the size of the group was reduced to 121 men who finally graduated. During their stav. the cadets maintained an average of approximately 75. and they received very high rank in the National Achievement Tests which were given by the military service to all ASTRP units. In spite of the stringent academic lequirements which included class attend- ance of 41 hours each week and supervised studv periods each night excluding Saturday from 7:30 to 10 o ' clock, the socialized life of the ASTRP cadet was well rounded, and those who participated in extra curricular activities enjoyed their limited share of college life. Two representatives were given seats on Arcadia, and ten of the group sang with the Glee Club. The basket ball team, ably coached by Capt. R. B. Sumner, had the fine record of five wins out of seven games played. Since the Army did not permit cadets to participate in intercollegiate athletics, the boys confined their sports to intramural games and physical training which were supervised bv Fay Bartlett and Billy Sheridan; these games made their extra-curricular life an active one. No doubt one of the high spots in the ASTRP unit ' s athletic prowess was the defeat the cadets handed the Lehigh varsitv basketeers in Grace Hall in one of the most thrilling games of the year in a 49-47 vhirhvind last minute toss uj). The playing of Dick Hartman and Bill Hammond vill always be remembered as well as the excellent support of such players as Weider. Klaproth, Bond. Haenn, and Ralston. The other part of ASTRP social life was well taken care of by Bethle- hem USO and week end passes for those cadets in good standing. As a parting gift to the unit Arcadia sponsored a dinner and floor show which was greatly appreciated by all the reservists. The ASTRP program was designed to provide college training for qualified members of the Enlisted Reserve Corps, unassigned, and the Air Corps Enlisted Reserve prior to their call to active duty. 122 w m w . mtj fmt « 1 MISSING IN ACTION AND PRISONERS SGT.

Confidence and the important sense of security are best regained in surroundings where time and experience reflect a heri- tage of strength. Here the confusion of an uncertain world fades away. Today ' s mir- acles are seen as only logical develop- ments of basic science. Tomorrow begins to hold the bright promise of greater achievement. And in that sanctuary where sunlight strikes across a wall of bronze, appear the names of Lehigh men who, years ago, faced war and change and crisis. They turned again to peace and through their lives provided inspiration for their sons . . . and yours. , . f «.fir ; ' 5 ? a«ft09r ' % ' J-raH - ' l- ' -V r -■ ■--, ■- m.

When the Staff began its work in the early summer of 1944 it felt that the major troubles of Lehigh life had reached low ebb, and that now a new spirit was gradually beginning to breathe into the university life generally. Although enrollment was not increasing to any marked degree and boys were constantly being called to service in the middle of their schooling and teachers were still leaving Lehigh for defense posts and for other calls of duty, the diffi- culties in keeping Lehigh alive had been faced and overcome. No doubt the Staff was probably too optimistic, yet it was the trenchant desire of ourselves and fellow students to keep Lehigh history records straight and to further the spirit that has made Lehigh a truly fine university. In spite of all the difficulties we feel that we have presented a vivid and worthwhile chapter in Lehigh ' s story.
