Larkin. Teacher, engineer, and writer. Professor Larkin will have completed his twenty-ninth year as Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering when his retirement from the University becomes effective on the first day of July. His accomplishments in his chosen held have been many and varied, ranging from private research, patents, and success in industry to out- standing work and recognition in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Engineer ' s Club of the Lehigh Valley, Pi Tau Sigma, Tau Beta Pi, and a host of similar organizations. Under Professor Larkin s able guidance, the Mechanical Engineering Department has grown and flourished until it now boasts the largest enrollment of the engineering departments. Lehigh %vill long remember him, and along with this dedication by the Senior Class go the staff s sentiments of well done for the past, and Don voyage for the future. FopeKvord HE lines from one of Noan Weoster ' s more or less obscure volumes dealing witK definitions tells us tKat an epi- tome is a brief statement of the con- tents of a topic or work; a part wnicn represents typically a wnole. ' At Le- nign, however, an epitome is a book, and following tne pattern tnus indicated by its title, tbe 1948 Epitome Kas con- H 1 centrated its 400 pages on epitomiz ing tne past academic year on tne Lenign campus. What has happened this year, what the Sigs or the Delts did, or what happened in Taylor 3B; what Arcadia accomiplished and w here the Ski Club went for its winter trips . . . these are the things that the graduate of 48 wants to remember, and this is what he will read in the 48 Epitome. Consequently, a minimum of historical data has been included, and a maximum of current topics have been recorded. The events that have gone before and the events that are to follow are left to other Epitomes, Brown and Whites, Goblets, Bachelors, and the Univer- sity archives. This book tells the story of twelve months on the South side of Bethlehemi, of those who teach and those who learn on the Brown and W hite campus. The bits of levity you will find scattered here and there are an effort to make the 48 Epitome a book — not a collection of rare old photographs and mid- Victorian sonnets. A book to be read and enjoyed, not to be leafed through hurriedly and set aside to gather dust on the family bookshelf. So be not alarmed at the apparent departure from the narrow bounds of yearbook style; in the introductory sections we ha ve writ- ten lightheartedly, hoping that it will be taken in the spirit in which it is given, cum grano salts.

THOMAS MOORE REGISTRATION at LeKigK is a strange thing tKat brings us together, shuffles us, ana deals us around for another play at the hooks. For all its madness and con- fusion, the days of a Lehigh regis- tration period are times of action and excitement. It is the beginning of a new semester, and there is something about the uncertain days to follow that adds tenseness to all the hap- penings. Registration hgures showed that the majority of us were veterans- veterans who had a definite idea of why we were at Lehigh. Those of us who had seen no war service had passed a thorough screening and represented the cream of the current secondary school crop. Perchance, a scant few of us had been attracted to South Mountain in quest of col- lege life for its own sake, but for the most part, whether we admitted it or not, we all had a sincere desire for book learning. Regardless of our mo- tives for being here, we all were thankful that we were in college and not awaiting admission like so many or our friends. The 1947 registrations were dif- ferent from those the old timers ex- perienced. Where once it was pos- sible to talk ourselves out of eight o ' clocks on our schedules, a malad- justed I.B.M. class scheduler dictated all kinds of weird class hours, and there was no back talk. Gripes were prevalent and numerous as we all speculated about the semester s courses. Some insisted that snap courses were passing out of existence, that all courses were rougher than before, that it would be impossible to last the semester. However, there was always that great boost in our morale when we each found some- one with a lower average than that we had made the previous semester. The strangest sights of all to be- hold were the green frosh who certainly did not know what to ex- pect next. An advanced guard of the Class of 1Q51 that entered in March, 1947, gave the Class of June, 1950, veterans of one whole semester, its first chance to look important and to scowl on someone. The remainder of the Class of 51 that entered in September, 1947, was received with ten days of Freshman Orientation, the first such extended orientation that had been given since the w ar. The wide-eyed newcomers were wooed and coddled by the adminis- tration and fraternities, so that the end of Frosh Week brought wel- comed relief from these unusual at- tentions. A shiny new frosh lost in the be- wildering strangeness of his new South Mountain surroundings would be joined by many an old alumnus who also would be amazed at how the campus had been changed by post-war improvements. The old grads told us that Lehigh just ain t what it used to be, and right they were. With all the building that has been accomplished and planned, it seemed like it would not be many years until we, too, would not recog- nize the old hill. Biggest feature of the post-war building spree was the new dormitory. Lehigh sidewalk su- perintendents on location reported that the dorm is something to behold, and each day as the stone and mor- tar were piled higher, we readily agreed with them that the utility of this badly-needed housing w ould be closely proximated by its beauty. A new frame dispensary with the latest in equipment sprouted by the Physics Building, and Packer Hall received a new neighbor as another frame structure was erected close by to serve as office space and auxiliary classrooms. The space once utilized by the Health Service in Christmas- Saucon Hall was redecorated, and the Veterans Administration moved in. The Industrial Engineering De- partment moved into offices of its own that were partitioned off in the east wing of Packard Laboratory, and the once drab interior of the Physics Building had a new look under the influence of pastels and other gay colors. This new cheeriness added greatly to the old atmosphere. Coxe Laboratory was relined with paint, and amazed students returned to Taylor and Price Halls in Sep- tember, 1947, to find their rooms redecorated. The two temporary dorms at the lower edge of Sayre Park finally were completed in time for occupancy in September, 1947, after being under construction for fourteen months. The lag in upkeep and mainten- ance necessitated by the war was being compensated for by this great activity, and under the guidance of Andrew W. Litzenberger, Lehigh s Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, many other improvements were in the offing. To the accompani- ment of air compressors, trenches were dug all over the campus to ac- commodate the installation of the 12 new underground power and tele- phone lines. Tne swimming pool took on a different appearance, and we no longer got tnat slimy feeling after eacK dive. WitK changes on South Mountain rapidly occurring, we wondered how many years it would take for future construction to make the old contours unrecognizable to us. Another change on the campus was in our increased interest in stu- dent government as we scrapped the old Arcadia constitution and adopted a new one. The change- over represented the combined efforts of those of us who took an active interest in the redrafting of the new constitution. Hearings were started early in 1947, and we all were en- couraged to express our views and to give suggestions for an improved form of student government. A ten- man committee consolidated our opinions into four different proposals for reform. As a result of a referen- dum in May, 1947, campus-wide proportional representation under the Hare system of balloting was selected as the form of government we wanted. With our expressed opinions in mind, the Constitution Revision Committee drafted a new constitution over the summer and presented it to us for deliberation in September, 1947. Another referen- dum was conducted in early October and the new constitution was rati- fied by a definite majority. Arcadia conducted its first elec- tions under the new constitution in late October after a week of campus- wide politicking . Campaign signs were everywhere, posters screamed the candidates merits, and even a loudspeaker blurted out the good word for a potential Arcadia mem- ber. Forty-five candidates were whittled down to fifteen on election day, and these fifteen chose Charles W. Boig, 48, as Arcadia president. With the new machinery in opera- tion, a loud clamor for belter student government and an improved con- stitution was finally silenced. As a 13 result, a stronger, better-organized Arcadia was created for the Deneiit of all. Class elections late in tke spring semester of 1947 showed a decided increase in individual class interest as a large field of candidates for eacn class office kad to be shaved down by Hare balloting. For the year of 1947-1948, Gene Sowers, ' 48, Dick Fuehrer, 49, and Eric Erikson, 50, were elected presidents of their re- spective classes. On many occasions we outdid ourselves in the matter of school spirit. Perhaps it was because we had a football team in 1947 that won its share of games and proved it could operate as a team. A highly- touted Muhlenberg eleven had to work to edge out a 21-14 victory as we roared a reverberating cre- scendo of cheers, the likes of which had seldom been heard in Taylor Stadium. A corps of cheer leaders led us in cheering that was an im- provement over the indifferent yell- ing of the past. During the fall, re- ciprocating overtures of peace were exchanged between Lehigh and Muhlenberg and between Lehigh and Lafayette as we all agreed that school spirit should not be mani- fested in the redecoration of the rival s campus. As a result, pre- game nights were peaceful and no paint was shed. The climax of the football sea- son, the Lafayette game, found all of us making feverish preparations to show our team that we were be- hind them. With the accent on mechanisms, some of us applied our knowledge of kinematics to the prac- tical problem of constructing moving displays for the Homecoming Week- 14 end. It was a close race among fra- ternities as to wno naa tne best dis- play. Tne Delts won witn tneir Lafayette Crustier followed in a close second Ly the Betas. The In- terfraternity Council conducted the contest in which the judges easily could have picked the Sigma Nu s, Psi U s, or any of a number of others as the winner. The pep rally of the night preced- ing the Lafayette game was indeed a big affair. Following an hour of frosh skits in Grace Hall, we ad- journed to the massive bonfire on Upper Field for more cheers and songs. Then came the pajama parade to Moravian over a well-policed route of march. We co-operated well with Arcadia in behaving ourselves and not repeating the spectacle of 1946 ' s fiasco in the halls of Fem-Sem. A close 7-0 decision in favor of Lafayette had a slight dampening effect on the spirits of the homecom- ing alumni and on us, but the old rivalry lived on as we all cried for the fifth straight time, Wait til next year! Additional consolation did exist over the fact that the soccer team trimmed the Leopards 4-0, and the frosh football team walloped the Lafayette freshmen 28-25 in a story-book thriller game. Things were really looking up for the 1948 football season. We had a frosh football team that was rated the best in the East by many sports writers, and that was a good indication that better days were ahead for our team. Deferred Rushing descended upon us by storm as Dean Congdon put forth the administration s pro- 15 .,, - -:- , t ' -—!: posed policy of requiring frosn to obtain a minimum scnolastic aver- age or 1.75 Deiore being eligible for fraternity initiation. No student would be permitted to live in a fra- ternity house until be was at least a sopbomore, and be would be al- lowed to be initiated only wben be bad completed at least one semester at Lebigb. Tbe Dean s proposals gave rise to a great deal of discus- sion, as all living groups would be greatly affected by tbe proposed cbanges and tbeir repercussions. On tbe grounds tbat a deferred rusbing plan would definitely work bardsbips on tbe fraternities, tbe Interfraternity Council argued for tbe continuance of tbe present initiating policies, but tbe administration bad a stronger argument. It was believed tbat a su- pervised study program and a coun- selling system for fresbmen would belp materially in raising tbe all-fra- ternity average by producing upper- classmen witb sound study babits. Witb tbe building of tbe new dorm, more bousing space will be avail- able, so tbat a systematized study program could be put into operation. Tbe Interdormitory Council ex- pressed itself favorably for tbe pro- posed cbange but was against tbe minimum 1.75 average requirement. Only time will prove tbe plan s wortb; meanwbile, tbe fraternities began to brace tbemselves for an ab- sence of frosb living in tbeir bouses wben tbe new dorm would be com- pleted. Of great concern to most of us was tbe inadequate subsistence al- lowance tbat we were receiving un- der tbe G. I. Bill. A survey con- ducted sbowed tbat only 3% of us were living on our government cbeclts, and we bad to beg, borrow, or steal more money in order to sur- vive. Tbe American Veterans Com- mittee cbapter tbat was formed at Lebigb during tbe spring semester of 1947 circulated a petition to Con- 16 gress that was signed by many of us. The petition told or the dirricul- ties the veterans at Lehigh were ex- periencing in making ends meet while trying to get an education and asked that Congress make more money available to the students. Many colleges over the nation sent similar petitions to Washington, but the rail semester or 1947 brought no rattened subsistence checks. Town Council sponsored a dis- cussion during the spring semester on the ' Improvements That Can Be Made at Lehigh and gave us the chance to find out how the adminis- tration stood on various matters. Written questions were submitted about the housing situation, the sub- sidization of athletics, and the need of an individual counselling system for students. Dean Congdon, Reg- istrar Curtis, Vice-President Smiley, and Treasurer Kirkpatrick took the stand for the administration and made it plain that the Board of Trus- tees did not make it a policy to sub- sidize athletics. It was felt that the most effective counselling system was an individual instructor-student re- lationship such as now exists. The stand on housing was that all had been done that possibly could be done. For the five hundred and more married students at Lehigh, just a handful of converted barracks at Steel Field and a few apartments in Bethlehem was all that could be- obtained. The spring semester of 1947 brought a lively round of activities. The Intramural Singing Contest, sponsored by the New York Lehigh Club, was held for the first time in five years. Six groups were entered, and they were narrowed down to BetaTheta Pi, Phi Gamma Delta, and Leonard Hall who were chosen for the semi-finals. The finals proved that the Beta s, under the direction of Richard C. W ilson, a graduate student, were the best singing group 17 flft SSr«1HQH ain « ' i !Sfi! ' ' on campus. Tne worla-renownea Bacn Music Festival attracted many or us to the lower campus where on overflowing crowd made itself comfortable on the grass and hstened to the music that was piped out from Packer Chapel. The Bach Choir of 240 voices sang Bach ' s Mass in B Minor at this for- tieth celebration of the festivab Two other concerts given in May, one by the Glee Club and the other by the University Band, were marked occasions as they were the last ones that Dr. T. Edgar Shields, Head of the Department of Music, would conduct at Lehigh. Those of us who worked with Dr. Shields remember him as a grand personage and a great director. For forty-two years he served Lehigh— building up the Glee Club, the orchestra, and the University Band to the powerful or- ganizations as we know them. Dr. Shields was retired for a well-earned rest. Another big change in the Lehigh faculty was the retirement of Dr. Charles C. Bidwell, Head of the Physics Department, who will con- tinue at Lehigh as Professor Emer- itus of Physics. For the past twenty years Dr. Bidwell served the uni- versity faithfully and well. Other changes in the faculty brought out familiar faces with new titles. Doc- tors Edward D. Amstutz, W. Leon Godshall, and William L. Jenkins were promoted from associate to full professorships. A host of other well deserving professors and instructors also were moved to better-uphol- stered chairs. Prof. William Eney was named Head of the Civil En- gineering Department replacing Prof. Hale Sutherland who requested to be relieved from his administra- tive duties so that he could devote 18 more time to professional writing. Billie BurKnardt was also re- tired after tnirty-nine years of dili- gent service to tne university and to tke many thousands of Lenign men who have been here over the years. Billie could spin many a yarn of the old Lehigh days and could tell many a Lehigh tradition because he was part of the growing and expanding Lehigh since the turn of the century. Most of us knew Billie as the fellow who took care of battered muscles and aching backs down at the Health Service with his battery of heat lamps and his skill in the application of adhesive tape. Billie will be missed by the many of us who knew and loved him. May also brought mobs of high school journalism students to our campus for the Ninth Annual Le- high University Press Conference. Over two hundred delegates at- tended this first conference since the war to take part in various discussion groups on the different phases of journalism and to hear Herbert B. Nichols, science editor of the Cnris- tian Science Nlonitor, speak on the future in scientific writing. Miss Nancy Garoutte of Nlaaemoiselle and Mr. Allen Lewis of the Phila delphia Inquirer also highlighted the conference with talks on women in journalism and on sports writing. The Goblet, Lehigh ' s own post war magazine strictly for men (Le- high men) , seemed t o have difficulty in being appreciated. The trouble all began when Tom Harris had An Experience with Wine which he soon wished he had not mentioned. A thunderous deluge of criticism, discussion, and praise waxed heavy over us after the Goblet had re- leased the particulars. The noise never did die down as we argued the righteousness of the story de- pending upon how we had read it. On the heels of all the extra pub- licity received on the Wine issue, a story contest was conducted to ob- tain more material in the way of hu- mor, poetry, and short stories for fu- ture issues of the Goblet. G. Wal- lace Driver, 49, won first place in the contest with his excellent story. Duel in the Afternoon. The fall semester again brought hard times for the Goblet when the Board of Publications refused to give its approval to the magazine. A re- drafting of the Goblet constitution and the addition of faculty guidance to the publication staff finally wheedled out an approval from the 19 Board in November, and tne Goblet staff immediately settled down to tne Kard work of getting tke magazine together. Pirates of Penzance, a Mustard and Cheese production, was well received by us all and certainly was one of the highlights of the spring semester. Following a loud publicity campaign that went so far as to fly a skull and cross bones flag from the flag pole, the M. C. cast, aug- mented by Moravian girls, pro- ceeded to put on a show that drew many curtain calls and encores at each of the four crowd-packed per- formances. Pirates was so well ap- preciated that M. C. plans in- cluded another Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. The Mikado, along with the plays Cyrano ae Sergerac and R. U. R. The Military Department an- nounced that advanced courses would be offered in Corps of En- gineers subjects for those of us who wanted to strive for a reserve com- mission. This gave a wide selection of Army branches to us and made it possible to choose the Air Corps, Infantry, Ordnance, as well as the Engineers. An increased number of non-veteran undergraduates made it necessary to reorganize the corps of military students into a regiment in- stead of a battalion as before. The soldiers were commanded by Cadet Colonel William D. McLean, 49. The veterans among us certainly had to admit that the regiment was a sharp-looking outfit. The well- worn olive-drab uniforms that had been used for so many years had at last been discarded in favor of the forest-green Army officer-type uni- form that made many a frosh strut proudly. Army Week brought an all-out effort from the Military Department. Planned by Col. James S. Luckett, a display of the latest Army equip- ment drew over 4,000 people to Grace Hall. Strong America was the theme of the exhibit, which in- sii Bi msmi m • - ■ '  «Wr«M- V- ' J - i.- t:- V 3- eluded displays of war trophies, enemy uniforms, and a collection of military honors and decorations. For those of us who ' wished to brave the summer heat, the univer- sity co-operated to the utmost and conducted an eight weeks summer half-semester. With so many spe- cial students (women) taking sum- mer courses it was hard to believe that it was the Lehigh campus. Those of us who had the real deal managed to get into the surveying course where we had access to tran- sits and other observation aids. But the pleasant July days turned into a sweltering inferno during the month of August, and it was not uncommon to see some of us taking the summer semester finals in our underdrawers. The summer also saw the instigation of a special four weeks course for M.E. ' s and l.E. ' s given at the local technical high school to teach the practical phases of engineering. The fall semester of 1947 brought us all back to South Moun- tain for the first year of regularly scheduled semesters since the war. The summer vacation had been a welcome interlude for many of us vs ho had been going four or ftve semesters straight under the old ac- celerated program. Much refreshed after a summer s break, we had lost that punchy look and were ready for another year s rat race. It was amid the excitement of football weekends and speculation on the merits of the nation s football teams that we lived the days of autumn. Founder s Day brought the first break, and we were given the day off to waste away. The frosh put out a vain effort to spill the sophs in the annual tug of war, but the upperclassmen had more pull. The rope was a mite weary, for it broke twice, but when the old haws- er did hold, the frosh did not and they were doomed to a semester un- der their dinks. Some atonement for this fate was gleaned from the frosh football teams 12-6 triumph over the junior varsity eleven. 21 Debating was brought out in tne Lenign lime lignt as a renewed in- terest was aevelopea tnrougb tbe year starting witK tbe Williams De- bate during tbe spring of 1947. Tbe inter-living group contest carved tbe contesting teams down to Tau Delta Pbi and Cbi Pbi in tbe finals. Tbe Tau Delta Pbi s proved tbey were tbe better men witb words and copped tbe Wilbams Prize. Tbe fall semester saw tbe Debating Team successfully competing in tbe intercollegiate circle. Furtber interest in debating was stimulted in tbe A.V.C. -sponsored forum in wbicb Professors Hale Sutberland and Tbomas T. Holme pooled tbeir tal- ents witb Robert Mertz, 49, and Paul Scbwab, 48, to debate tbe need of universal military training. We all flocked to Grace Hall to bear Albert Spaulding wbo appeared as tbe first artist in tbe 1947-48 Stu- dent Concert-Lecture Series. He played a beavy program of classics and semi-classics and was roundly received by an appreciative audience. On tbe ligbter side of bigb-brow overtones was Henry L. Scott. Billed as concert bumorist and bilarious vir- tuoso of tbe piano, be lived up to bis publicity manager s claims so well tbat few of us left Grace Hall witb- out acbing sides. Taking an interest in tbe welfare of tbe city of Betblebem and in tbe many cbarities of tbe nation, Arcadia launched a combined cbarities drive to sbow tbat we at Lebigb w anted to sbare our responsibilities in tbe community and in tbe nation. Tbe campus wide goal of $2,500 was set, but tbe response was only mediocre. A dance sponsored by Arcadia on « _ Vij: ' ii;,5 ... ,1 f ? jr.. 1 ' 4 ■ h ' ■ j 22 M ' the last night of the drive was fairly well attended. The Collegians, Le- high s dance orchestra, generously provided the music gratis, and other students graciously gave of their time to sell tickets and cokes so that all intake would go towards charity. As the school year passed, we all watched with interest the announce- ments in the Brown and Wfiite of the tapping by the various honor- aries. It was good to see those friends of ours who had worked diligently and had proved their salt so honored in recognition of their efforts. We also followed the elections of the various societies and living group governing bodies at Lehigh. The year of 1947-48 saw some excellent students selected for their merits and abilities to lead us in school activi- ties. I he list of presidents shows us Roy Ditterline, 49, Town Council; William D ' Olier, 48, Interdormitory Council; James E. Duff, 48, Inter- fraternity Council; Richard Stevick, 48, Omicron Delta Kappa; and Irvin L. Huber, 49, Cyanide. The Board of Publications honored Rich- ard H. Jones, 48, with the respon- sible job of Editor-in-Chief of the 1948 Epitome. Albert G. Farans, 48, was selected as Chairman of the Brown and White Board of Control; and Robert Polstein 48, was named Chairman of the Gob- let s executive committee. The year produced many men whom we want to remember for their stand-out accomplishments. It will be hard to forget Geza Molnar, 47, selected for the All-American Soccer Team, the winner of the Jack Dempsey Cup for excellence in ath- letics, and Dick Huyett, 47, winner of the coveted Bosey Reiler Cup for 23 leadersKip earned by nis efforts for a better Lenign. Not soon to be for- gotten was the sparkling play of Bob Numbers, 50, ana Russ Jones, 48, wno snowed us what team ball and real fight on the gridiron can be like. To Gene Sowers, 48, must go a lot of credit for his grand job of organizing Town Council and bring- ing those of us who live off campus into a closer and more active con- tact with Lehigh. Reed Fulton, ' 48, lacrosse center on the 1947 varsity, carved out a slot on the All-North Lacrosse Team by virtue of his hard playing and good teamwork. To George Horneck, 49, goes a vote of thanks for his hard work in direct- ing the efforts of the Constitution Revision Committee. And to a host of other outstanding athletes and campus leaders, whom we all know and recognize, go our sincere thanks for the grand jobs they have done by virtue of t heir office or their in- terest in Lehigh. The grinding out of homework occupies the majority of our time but we all have had our moments. The long weary hours spent peering over textbooks are soon forgotten for all their unpleasantness, and saner thoughts of the gayer times of Le- high nights remain prominent in our minds. Who ever will forget some of those dances that highlighted the school year? The Military Ball, the first since the war, given in the spring of 47 by Scabbard and Blade; the Engineers Ball, spon- sored by the engineering honoraries and featuring Bob Chester and his orchestra; and houseparties. Housepartyl The Friday night Spring Houseparty Dance of 1947 gave us the S. S. Grace Hall in ship-like camouflage. Two floors of dancing with music by Charlie Spi- vak and Bob Harry gave just enough room for the 1 500 couples to move around. Saturday afternoon provided a thrilling lacrosse match with Le- high on the winning end of a 5-2 score, and a baseball game which Lehigh lost by a close decision to Gettysburg. A Tea Dance at the IT. ■ A ' f ' f ___ d _ — _. ttlL. I D ' V 1 r k ' ' 1 Wwk m WLT - -■ 1 Maennerchor completed me after- noon, and Saturday nignt was spent house hopping, dancing at the I.D.C. Dance, or simply having run. A week or mid-semester exams helped to increase the pre-week-end tension over the Fall Houseparty or 1947, and the tempo or our antici- pation was beating fast. For some, warm-up parties even gave vay to studies. The four o clock bell on Fri- day started things rolling and house- party dates took over. For us all, it was a strange but welcome sight to see women roaming about our hills, and this houseparty the dates brought with them the exquisitely feminine innovation — the New Look! Buddy Rich and Skitch Hender- son provided the smooth music for two floors of dancing at the Inter- fraternity Ball on Friday night as all crowded to Grace Hall which had been miraculously transformed around a Stars in tbe Night ' theme. The highlight of the evening came when Richard Stevick, 48, and his wife, Nita, were crowned Mr. and Mrs. Lehigh, 1947-48. Heads turned and eyes bulged when Frank Hewitt s date, Miss Nancy Fitch of Plainneld, N. J., was crowned the Houseparty Queen. The last notes of music at two Saturday morning meant that only the orchestra was quitting for the evening. Black bow ties, board fronts, and stiff collars quickly disappeared as everyone quickly settled down to 23 the business of more houseparty. Many songs were sung ana odes were composed to Baccnus until Bacckus crumped out at 8:00 A. M. The Saturday morning rain did not phase us one hit. We tramped down to Taylor Stadium to see our football team roll in the mud with King s Point in a splendid game that saw Lehigh win 20-6. The Band also outdid itself by sloshing out on the field to combine overtones with the Glee Club at the half. For those of us who like a smoky atmosphere with our dancing, there was the Maennerchor Tea Dance to fill the bill after the game. But the evening s greatest interest was the uncounted number of parties. Many songs were sung and resung while Bacchus reveled in our praise. Hos- pitality flowed and drowned all of South Mountain way into the sab- bath morn, but that dreaded hour Sunday afternoon when the girls left us finally came, and we were aban- doned to our mountain for another semester. For those of us who mark our college time from houseparty to houseparty it looked a long way until Spring Houseparty. But then, there were some of us who were in no condition to worry about it anyway. Semester in and semester out, the 26 nouseparty weekend has oee n re- peated, Dut none or us nas been bored by tne constant repetition. Houseparties nave always meant fun and the opportunity to remember what a woman looks like. For each year at Lehigh there has been a round-robin or events and happenings for all of us. Who amongst us will forget these days at college? None of us particularly will remember the hours spent in study- ing, but we will not forget the high points of Lehigh life. The nights at Joe s, the singing at the Chor, the bull sessions, houseparties, the pep rallies, the cheering at our football games, all this will be remembered. Thoughts of these college days will live on -to be told and retold to our rriends and wives, children and grandchildren; Lehigh was really tough in those days, Son! ' 27 A ny fool can make a rule And every fool will mind it. THOREAU President Martin D. WKitaker 30 To mouIJ men ' s cKaracters, to fit students into rielas in which they will benefit society, and to develop in these men a sense or pa- triotism and world-understanding are goals of Lehigh University. With these purposes in mind, Doctor Martin D. Whitaker, Le- high s president, guides the admin- istrative force of the school. It is he who is responsible for carrying out the decisions of the Board of Trus- tees and for co-ordinating the oper- ations necessary to maintain Lehigh as a great institution. President Whitaker, the eighth man to fill the honored seat, was appointed in 1946 by the Board of Trustees on which Eugene Gifford Grace presides. Mr. Grace was valedictorian of the class of 1899; a self-made man, he now holds a high position in industry as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. Doctor E. Kenneth Smiley, who joined the administrative staff in 1923 as Registrar and held that po- sition until 1926, returned in 1934 as Assistant Director of Admissions and served as head of that depart- ment. Presently he is the Vice-Pres- ident of the university, directing the activities of many of the departments. The task of handling Lehigh s fi- nances is the responsibility of John I. Kirkpatrick who was graduated from Lehigh in 1929. In his under- graduate days, Mr. Kirkpatrick was conscientious in both sports and scholarship. He served his alma Vice-President Smiley mater as Assistant to the President before his appointment as Treas- urer. Dean Wray H. Congdon -that is a name which the students recall if all other names fall by the way- side. As if the tremendous job of being Dean of Students weren t enough, he now bears the load of Director of Admissions. Doctor Congdon not only must be a diplo- mat, disciplinarian and chief of pro- tocol for the students, but must be also the final arbiter on the choice of incoming students. He is ably as- sisted in his routine duties by his secretary, Beatrice Flickinger. In the role of Associate Director of Admissions is Clarence B. Campbell who replaced Mr. John L. Diamond. 31 Messrs. Hardy, Smiley, and Congdon hold a round fable discussion. and is assisted Ly Byron C. Hayes ana Paul J. Franz wKo interview the prospective LeKigK students. With an influx of more applications for admission than ever before, this of- fice is faced with its largest under- taking. As right arm executives to Dean Congdon, Associate Deans J. Doug- las Leith and Charles A. Seidle carry much of the responsibilities in con- nection with the student body. Fresh- man engineers receive much atten- tion from Dean Leith who is their enrolling officer. After a period of time during which he served in the headquarters of the Fighth Army as an organizer of school systems in Japan, Doctor Seidle has returned to take up his position in the office of the Dean of Students. At least once a semester-— when he goes through the efficient mill of assignment and scheduling of classes — the student is impressed by the fact that rarely does it happen that there is any confusion in schedules. The university s Registrar and Editor, George B. Curtis, is the one whom we can all thank for keeping this great task in order. In addition to the registration of students, the registrar s office keeps in order all the scholastic records. Here the credits are given for out- side courses, grade listings are pre- 32 pared, class cuts are recorded, and tKe school catalogue and Student Di- rectory are edited. Assistant registrars are John S. Tremper and Harry K. Miller, Jr. Miss Lenore Gilbert and Miss Vir- ginia Raidline are Recorder and Assistant Recorder. The Lehigh students know the of- fice of Bursar John W. Maxwell best as a stopping-place on registration day. Here they pay fees of tuition, activity fees, and dormitory rents. Mr. Maxwell, a Lehigh ' 26 graduate, acts also as Purchasing Agent for the University, making official pur- chases of equipment for the main- tainance of Lehigh s well-being. Mr. Leonard H. Schick looks upon all of the undergraduat es as poten- tial alumni. With the titles of Ex- ecutive Secretary of the Alumni Association and Editor of the Lehigh Treasurer Kirkpatrick Middle Three cannon? Alumni Bulletin, Mr. Schick is a mainstay in keeping the graduate Lehigh members up-to-date with de- velopments of interest off and on the campus. It is his duty also to turn the interest into funds, and to spread the good word of Lehigh by travel- ling about and addressing alumni clubs. Mr. Robert F. Herrick, the Uni- versity Public Relations Officer, and Mr. Ken Moravec, Lehigh s News Editor keep the public in tune with the schools activities. Lucille L. Barret is the Assistant News Editor. The Public Relations department serves as the good will agent, and dispenses through the radio and press the information about the per- sonnel of the University in a multi- tude of personal and group activi- ties.

In a similar vein, many of the undergraduates find it neces- sary to find part-time employment to help them meet the expenses of col- lege life. Mr. Elias R. Morgan is the man they consult. A Lehigh grad and Director of the Placement Bureau, Mr. Morgan keeps contact with a great number of firms which can use the services of Lehigh men; he also counsels the men on their individual problems in obtaining po- sitions. The post-war housing conditions are well-publicized and known to 54 people far and wiJe. Bethlehem is no exception in the general lack or housing facihties, and housing the Lehigh students is a proDiem tackled by the Bureau of Housing Informa- tion of which Miss Mary E. Beaver is secretary. Mrs. Dorothy Moravec keeps in contact with developments of the Federal Housing Projects for the students. As a relief to their housing problems, many tow n-resi- dent students are watching for the completion of Dormitory C , the newest addition to the dormitory group. Under the supervision of Mr. Andrew W. Litzenherger is the large staff which maintains the buildings and grounds of the campus. Surely Grounds Man Litzenberger Mr. Litzenberger s efforts are not in vain, for who can deny that the northern slope of Old South Moun- tain is one of the most picturesque campuses of the nation? Probably one of the most perplexing problems 53 Mr. E. Rob )ins M. organ raced by tne grounds maintenance stafr was the devastating effect of the ice storm which opened the year 1948. In any season the job con- tinues — poIicing, supplying power and heat, keeping buildings in re- pair, janitoring, trimming shrubbery and lawns, painting, and many other jobs which make hfe easier and more pleasant at Lehigh. To aid the veteran students through the administration of gov- ernment benefits, the Veterans Ad- ministration Center has been estab- nshed. The Center is under the directorship of Doctor Adelbert Ford who joined Lehigh s faculty in 1931 and is now head of the Psychology Department. Operating in hand with the national Veterans Admin- istration, the Center is divided into two functional sections: Advisement and Guidance, and Education and Training. Chief of the Veterans Ad- ministration Center is Mr. P. A. Nagle, who is a vet of the first World War, and is head of the Advisement and Guidance Section. Mr. E. S. Malesky and his As- sistant, R. H. W ilhamson supervise the activities of the Education and Training Section. Here files are kept for the allowances and claims, and each semester the progress of the veterans is recorded. Standing half-way up the campus is the Lucy Packer Linderman Me- morial Library with the second larg- est aggregation of books in the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania. The Messrs. Mnlnskv. Williamson, and Nnfjle 36 Assistant Dean John D. Leitli library nas grown to its present status since its beginning in 1877; its nearly 275,000 volumes provide research ana reading material in almost every pnase or tne world s writings. In the east wing are the orrices and cataloguing rooms. On the sec- ond floor is the Treasure Room which contains rare manuscripts and books. Seminar rooms for advanced study take up the third and fourth floors of the East Wing. The brows- ing room, a favorite daily stop for many students, is in the basement of the West W ing which houses the Art Gallery and Lehigh Room, containing many works about and by the Lehigh men. Librarian Howard S. Leach has been at Lehigh for 24 years; he came from Princeton University. Assistant Librarian James D. Mack tempor- arily took over the duties of the librarian during Mr. Leach s illness in late 1947. With Lehigh for over a quarter of a century, Mr. Robert Assistant Dean Charles Seidle 37 Dr. Samuel Cavert and Chaplain Bean Riley is Assistant Order Librarian. Behind tne circulation desk are Mrs. Lillie H. Koenler and Miss Eliza- betn R. Hartman, Circulation Li- brarian and Assisting Circulation Librarian. Chief Cataloguer Jane Walker, with her first and second assistants Mary E. Voos and Mrs. A. S. Flannery, is in charge of one of the most tedious jobs of the hbrary —classifying and cross filing each new book which comes into the build- ing. Before any volume reaches the stacks, it is listed according to sub- ject matter, author, and title; then it is classined for easy accessibility in the different sections. The Health Service is located in a new Army-type dispensary build- ing beneath the memorial trees op- posite the gymnasium. Here the new students come for the required physical examination and through- out the whole school year the per- sonnel of Lehigh come to get aid for their aches, pains, bruises and other ailments which disrupt the normal routine of college life. Director of the Health Service is Doctor Carl O. Keck. He and his assistants, Doctor Joseph H. Reno, and Doctor Jack I. Cole, replacing Doctor Henry K. Heller, prescribe the aids for the Lehigh family. Chief 38 Nurse is Mrs. Elizabeth B. Agocs, R.N., and Miss Mary C. Ryan keeps tke files and Kealtk records in order. The ivy-dressed Gothic structure at the entrance or the campus is one of the most beautiful buildings at Lehigh — The Packer Memorial Chapel. People from all ' alks of life have visited the chapel since its erection in 1887 to observe the in- spiring devotion services. The chapel was dedicated to the memory of Le- high s founder, Asa Packer, by his daughter, Mrs. Mary Packer Cum- mings. During the year, in addition to regular Sundav services, the Me- morial Church features the gradua- tion ceremonies, choir concerts, and speakers who are outstanding in the held of religion. Once every year the Bach Festival is held here; it draws an audience from all parts or the country to hear Bach s im- mortal choral works. The Packer Chapel activities are under the guidance of the Reverend George Bean who came to Lehigh after serving as a Naval Chaplain. Chaplain Bean is aided in the form- ulation of activities by the Student Chapel committee.

CICERO Professor Harvey A. Neville Acting Dean of the College oF Engineering Professor Philip M. Palmer Dean of the College of Arts and Science Professor Carl E. Allen Acting Dean of the College of Business Administration 44 LEHIGH as a wKole, to para- phrase, is divided into three parts. Unlike ancient Gaul, Kow ever, Lehigh s rounders have cleverly titled these parts the Col- leges of Engineering, Business Ad- ministration, and Arts and Sciences. Contrary to popular beher it is pos- sible to be graduated from any one of these three institutions. To this the 536 senior cuts offer moot evi- dence. First in size, nrst in reputation, and first in the eyes of Asa Packer is the College of Engineering. Asa, in the heat of post-war celebrating, founded Lehigh as a polytechnic institution in 1865. Today over 1800 men, com- prising more than half of the under- graduate enrollment, study in one of the seven specialized engineering departments. In the absence of a Dean, Dr. Harvey Neville, Professor of Chem- istry, guides the policy of the Col- lege in his role as Chairman of the Executive Committee. Adequate proof of his pronciency in this ca- pacity is offered by the constant re- vision of curricula to keep pace with modern industry. It is the two fold aim of the Col- lege of Engineering to produce men technically trained in one of the nine specialized engineering fields, and to provide these men with a background in business administration and social sciences commensurate with tne de- mand of our questionable civiliza- tion. In 1909 far-sighted administrators realized that business was here to stay. Consequently the College of Business Administration was estab- lished at Lehigh as a supplement to the Engineering program. Until the Second World War the College was limited in size. However since the cessation of hostilities it has mush- roomed to an enrollment of 700 stu- dents. Dr. Neil Carothers, Rhodes scholar, author, and Dean since 1937 had been the omnipotent genius of the Business School until 1947. A leave of absence for research in silver economics has left the college with- out a dean. However Dr. Carl E. Allen is now serving as Acting Di- rector of Curriculum. At least numerically low man in the Lehigh educational totem-pole is the College of Arts and Science. De- spite a total enrollment of less than 400, however, the College supplies some phase of liberal art background to every Lehigh under- graduate. Notwithstanding its size, the col- lege offers the most divergent courses and covers perhaps the largest held of the three. Dean Philip M. Palmer, A.B., Dr.h.c, Litt.D., guides arts men through a maze of erudite pur- suits including Law, Theology, Politi- cal Science, History, Enghsh, Ro- mance Languages and a galaxy of others, has served the University for 46 years, longer than any other Pro- fessor at Lehigh today. 45 WitK Keadquarters in Coppee Hall, me College or Arts ana Sciences offers courses in many variea nelds or stuay aesignea to expand tne intellectual norizons or every undergraduate at Lenign. Tlie college, tKougK tKe smallest numerically, covers witn its curric- ulum a greater variety or subjects tnan tne combined total or tne Col- leges or Engineering and Business Administration. Biology at LeKigK is taugbt under tne direction or Dr. Stanley J. Tbom- as. The most ramiliar course in tnis department is Biol. 1 3, Human Bi- ology. It is taugnt as a science op- tion for non-biology majors by As- sociate Professor Francis J. Trem- bley, wbo Kas gained additional prominence by introducing Lenign s new Conservation curriculum. The faculty members include Dr. Basil W. Parker, Associate Professor; Dr. Bradford B. Owen, Assistant Pro- fessor; and Dr. Thomas H. Grainger, Assistant Professor. Research has been extended this year with Dr. Grainger conducting a project in the study of X-ray ' s effects upon bacteria. Analysis of organisms which are harmful to heat transfer systems has been the pursuit of Dr. Thomas. Graduate courses include research in penicillin and streptomy- cin, cell cytology, antibodic sub- stances, and anatomy. This year a pioneer course has been introduced into the College of Arts and Sciences-Conservation. As a consummation of the planning of The faculty dines in Lamberton Hall 46 THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION: Top Row: Palevicz, W ' atkins, Hayward, Johnson, Teal. Front Row: Houseman, Thomas, Bream. Dr. Francis J. Trembley, Associate Professor or Biology, the Administra- tion nas approved Conservation as a lour year major curriculum. On tne faculty committee wnicn developed tne plan were Professor William J. Eney, nead of tne Department of Civil Engineering; Dr. Bradford Willard, Geology Department head: and Dr. Harold P. Tnomas, wtio di- rects the Department of Education. The conservation schedule is de- signed to educate men in the eco- nomic, scientific, and social signiri- cance of the nation s natural re- sources, in preparation for checking the overwhelming wastage of these assets. The Faculty and Administra- tion anticipate a large enrollment in this field, and expect these students to specialize in pursuits such as for- estry, soil conservation, and wild life preservation. The required subjects cover a wide scope in Arts and Science, with an emphasis on cartog- raphy, meteorology, and climatology. The announcement of the new pro- gram has brought enthusiastic ac- claim from eminent persons. The University s President Whitaker, has announced that he received a letter from President Harry S. Truman praising Dr. Trembley s work. To a worthy cause Lehigh extends its background of knowledge, prestige, and foresight. The Department of Education deals primarily with graduate work, and therefore is little known to the average Lehigh student. The staff is made up of a small group of full-time instructors and a larger part-time 47 staff of arcnitects, public school teacKers and officials, members of tne Veterans Center staff, ana otners. Many of the members of this staff teach only during the summer for the benefit of school teachers who want to pursue graduate study. The English Department, though actually a part of the College of Arts and Sciences, serves to supply a firm background for every undergraduate student at Lehigh in grammar and the appreciation of fine literature. English 1 and 2 or more advanced courses in World Literature are re- quired for every Lehigh graduate, and a majority of students in the Col- leges of Engineering and Business Administration choose English courses as electives.

Foremost among these is the expansion of the Speech division. Now, nearly three hundred students, comprising almost ten per cent of the student body, are enrolled in the courses offered by the division, a hundred percent increase over the mark of the previous year. In conjunction with radio station WGPA, a series of radio broadcast- ing studies have been included in the roster.

Everitt, formerly of Muhlenberg, is the only newcomer to the English Department this se- mester. Like many other departments in the Arts College, the enrollment of the Fine Arts Department has been increased by many ex-servicemen whose extensive travels created an in- terest in art and architecture. Thus, Professor Garth Howland has lound it necessary to add two new men to his staff. xMr. Everett Haycock has b een retained as a full time instruc- tor, and Mr. Joe Jones, prominent American artist, conducts a series of lectures for the adult education classes. Since the end of the war the Geology Department, under the di- rection of Professor Bradford Wil- 49 lard, Kas undergone many changes. Several new courses nave been added; many nave been revised. These changes were necessitated by the increase in the number or stu- dents, the increase in the demand for Geology majors, and the large turn- over of faculty personnel in the past few years. A great deal of informa- tion which was gathered and com- piled for the armed services has been incorporated in the new courses. Three of the professors in the de- partment are at present conducting research for various geological organ- izations. Professor W ' illard and Pro- fessor John H. Weitz are specializing in the cartography of the Bucks County region. Assistant Professor Hugh R. Gault has been gathering information for the U. S. Geological Survey. The German Language division turns out its finished products in Coppee Hall under the staff super- intended by Professor Robert P. More, who replaced Dean Palmer as head of the department, and Assist- ant Professors Marion P. Lazenby and Hans K. Schuchard. The popu- larity of German, which was some- what diminished during the war years, is again restored, and, al- though German of Chemistry has been dropped as a requisite course in Chemical Engineering, registra- tions are heavy. The ancient and honorable clas- sical languages have not been forgot- ten here at Lehigh. Under the direc- tion of Professors Earl L. Crum and Horace M.

In a day of the jet plane and the New Look, of secu- larism and atomic fission, the im- portance of Plato, i ristotIe, Homer, Cicero, and Vergil is not being over- looked. The staff of the Department of History and Government has been supplemented by the return of Dr. George T. Peck, who will assume his duties as Assistant Professor of Euro- pean History. During his one year leave of absence, Professor Peck worked with a group of scholars at the University of Chicago on the problem of a world government. Since his return, he has been en- gaged in writing several articles on Italy, one of which will be published in the 1948 Encyclopedia Americana Annual. All of the members of the depart- ment, headed by Professor George D. Harmon, are writing articles for various periodicals and texts. Pro- fessor Harmon is one of the editors of the various volumes written on the study of bomb damage for the U. S. Army. Besides -contributing several chapters to a textbook edited by Pro- fessor W. Leon Godshall of the In- ternational Relations Department, Professor Ernst B. Schulz has recent- ly completed his own text entitled Municipal Government. Professor Aiken is working on a volume of translations of the works 31 THE DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS: Top Row: Cauffman, Spohn, Seebald, WentwortK, Petrie, Culler, Garrison, Hibbard, Means, Lamson.

With the re-emergence of the United States as one of the leading world powers after the Second World W ar, the Administration realized the importance of under- standing current affairs on an inter- national plane. In 1946, the Depart- ment of International Relations was separated from the History Depart- ment, and many new courses have since been added to the curriculum. To handle the increase in enrollment, two visiting professors, Eugene H. Miller and W . Kirchner have been added to the staff. 52 AltkougK I.R. courses are popular in all curricula, tke main objective of tke department is to train those men who intend to enter such varied helds as diplomatic service, United Nations stari work, or journalism on an international scale. That increas- ing numhers or students are Denerit- ing from these courses is due to the stimulating lectures by Professor W. Leon Godshall, head of the depart- ment. The Department of Mathematics and Astronomy, which has func- tioned efficiently for many years with such oldtimers as Associate Profes- sors Kenneth W. Lamson and Mal- colm F. Smiley and Assistant Pro- fessors Frank S. Beale, Edward H. Cutler, Voris V. Latshaw and Arthur E. Pitcher, will lose the services of its present head. Dr. Joseph B. Rey- nolds.

Ray- nor will succeed Dr. Reynolds as head of the department. Dr. Ray- nor, a graduate of the University of Washington, received his M.A. and Ph.D. at Princeton University. Ex- cept for these major changes, there have been few others in the Mathe- matics Department. Assistant Pro- fessor George W. Petrie and Instruc- tors Paul F. Cauffman and James W. Mettler have been added to the faculty. The Music Department has begun its slow climb to a position as a lead- Right: TKe Music Departments Professor Sclionipt 33 ing department of Lehigh University. Sadly neglected during the war years, the musical societies, the Glee Club, the Collegians, Tone society, and the symphony orchestra, are again lunc- tioning. Instrumental in making this pro- gram possible is Professor William Schempf, head of the department. Professor Schempf, who earned his Ph.D. at the Eastman School of Mu- sic before coming to Lehigh, has re- placed the retiring department head. Professor Thomas E. Shields. The large percentage of students who study Romance Languages at Lehigh seem to prefer their French, Spanish, and Italian for broadening values rather than for practical use. Directed by Professor Allen J. Bar- thold, the teaching staff includes Associate Professor Rafael A. Soto, Assistant Professor George D. Fame, and Messrs. Siro B. Gutierrez and Diego Flores. Even though the reg- istrations in Spanish have increased, there has been no necessity to in- crease the wide range of courses. Since the War, the Department of Psychology has literally boomed with a fivefold increase in its at- tendance, both graduate and under- graduate. One of the most popular courses on the campus is Psych. 1 , Introduction to Psychology. This year has seen the innovation of a course to attract Mechanical Engineers Psychological Factors in Design of Machines and Instruments, based on data collected during the war.

Dr. Meyer, coming to Lenign from the University of Massachusetts, performed experiments for the Office of Scientific Research and Develop- ment for the Navy during the War. Philosophy is the science which deals with those forces which in- fluence human nature and conduct. A science of ideas rather than of ohjects, philosophy includes the studies of logic, ethics, and the theory of knowledge. Professor Frank C. Becker, head of the Philosophy De- partment, and Mr. Howard J. B. Ziegler, Instructor in Philosophy, were joined by Dr. Leidecker who came to Lehigh from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Dr. Leidecker received his Ph.D. degree at the Uni- versity of Chicago. In the summer of 1947, the De- partment of Religion was established to replace the Department of Moral and Religious Philosophy. This new department is under the direction of Lehigh s popular Chaplain, the Rev- erend George Bean. By next fall, another full-time instructor will be secured to replace Mr. Howard J. B. Ziegler, instructor in Pnilosopny, who is now assisting Rev. Bean. From its inception in 1909 until the Second World War, Lehigh ' s College of Business Administration was more or less limited in size. How- ever, the Business School , with its offices in Christmas-Saucon Hall, has mushroomed since the ending of hos- tilities. Today this division has an enrollment of nearly 700 students almost one quarter of the entire Uni- versity. The student body fills the classrooms to the point of overflow- ing, so that the number of many of the lectures and discussion periods has been doubled and redoubled. Even though the faculty has been expanded, there is a demand for new instructors. W hen the upperclassmen returned for the autumn semester of 1947, they all missed the Business School s greatest personality.

Eacn undergraduate receives a solid dose of the three types of courses, although everyone has a wide range from which he can choose a heavy subject for preparation in a definite field. The Head of the Department of Economics is Doctor Herbert M. Diamond, whose lectures leave the student convinced that Professor Dia- mond is a walking library. To his staff this past year have been added nve men; meanwhile, Mr. Anthony Fortosis has left for graduate studies. Doctor F. B.

Anthony J. Bryski, Wilham H. W. Skerrett, T. C. Kubelius, and S. G. Sass. Assistant Professors Max D. Snider and Richard M. Davis, com- parative old timers , complete the Eco. staff. Author of the standard text in Money and Banking, Professor Frederick A. Bradford heads the Department of Finance. On the de- partment staff are Associate Profes- sor Hervey D. Hotchkiss, whose courses are Corporation Finance, and Investments, and Assistant Professor Jesse V. Burkhead, who teaches courses in the field of Public Finance. Accounting, Economic Statistics, and Law courses are all taught by the Department of Accounting under the direction of Professor Roy B. Cowin, who has been at Lehigh since 1Q24. Teaching courses in Ac- counting are Professor Cowin, Pro- fessor Carl E. Allen (who is Acting 57 Director of Curriculum) , Assistant Professor Alfred P. KocK, Mr. Louis C. Jurgensen, and Mr. Hugri O. Roberts, who joined tke Department in September, 1947. Professor Elmer C. Bratt teacnes the courses in Economic Statistics; bis text. Business Cycles ana Fore- casting, is used for the second semes- ter. Assisting Professor Bratt is Mr. Robert D. Mustain. The subject of Business Law is taught by Mr. F. E. Heller, a local attorney. To uphold its reputation as a pro- gressive University, Lehigh is con- stantly undertaKing research in in- dustry for the purpose of determin- ing what is expected of the graduate engineer. As industry changes, so, too, do the curricula change. Indus- try has now reached a condition of severe specialization in every field of engineering. To follow this change. revisions in curricula paradoxically have not leaned to specialization, but to the diametric opposite. Thorough comprehension of basic fundament- als of engineering including mathe- matics, physics, chemistry, and mechanics is constantly stressed. With this background the engineer upon graduation is qualified for woric in any phase of his major, and with a minimum of time and effort, he is able to adapt himself to any special- ized held. The Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering is guided by Dr. Harvey Neville, Professor and Head of the Department. The staff numbers approximately 20 and it is planned to increase this number in the near future. The department is by far the one doing the most research among the engineering departments of Lehigh. In the laboratory of industrial bio- THE DEPARTTvlENT OF CIVIL ENGINEER- ING: Top Row: Swayne, Liebig, Sanders, Beedle, Herlig. Neal, Timnicrman, Kohman.

This research has won world- wide recognition and due honors for Professor Theis. Thirteen companies and the Army Quartermaster are sponsoring the leather technology program. The National Printing Ink Institute was established in 1946 and is supported by thirty-three com- panies of the printing ink industry. At the present time, the Institute is studying the technical problems com- mon to the industry by means of re- search here at Lehigh. Another proj- ect is in progress in the research labs of the department. It has been estab- lished by the Pennsylvania Manu- facturing Confectioners Association and deals with the art of candy manufacturing. The objective of the Civil Engin- eering Department is to train stu- dents in the many fields of construc- tion — highways, railroads, docks, bridges, buildings, and water sup- ply systems. The Civil Engineering graduate leaves Lehigh a specialist in one of the several engineering majors, structural, hydraulic, sani- tary, or transportation. A new pro- gram of study has been developed for the benefit of those students who intend to work along the lines of superintendence, administration, and operational organization. As head of the department, Pro- fessor William J. Eney has suc- ceeded Dr. Hale Sutherland, who at his own request, retired in order to devote more time to teaching and writing. Supervising much of the graduate study are Associate Pro- fessors Merton O. Fuller and Harry 39 THE DEPARTMENT OF METALLURGICAL ENGINEERING: Top Row. Kerr, Libsch, Beck, Stoudt, Gross.

SnooK. Offices riave been estab- lished in tne western wing of Pack- ard Laboratory, and, witK Assistant Professor H. K. Brown and six in- structors, over a dozen courses are made available to graduates as well as undergraduates. Tne research division of the C. E. Department ranks second only to the Chemistry Department in number and magnitude of research projects. Most of the work is centered in Fritz Engineering Laboratory and in the Hydraulics and Soils Mechanics Laboratories under the supervision of Professors Bruce G. Johnston, Murray B. McPherson, and Cyril D. Jensen, respectively. Professors R. E. Holm and M. B. McPherson have joined the staff during the past year. As head of the Hydraulics Laboratory, Professor McPherson replaced Professor W. H. Hiltner who left Lehigh to work for Boeing Aircraft Company. To direct the sources of electrical power in nature for the uses and conveniences of man -this is the activity of the electrical engineer. To accomplish this task, the EE is called upon to design, manufacture, install or operate electrical miachinery. He may also manage plants or en- gage in the promotion of engineering projects. To prepare himself for work in these specialized fields, the senior chooses one of the three options cov- ering the general phases of electrical engineering. The power option is concerned with electrical machinery and power equipment. In the high frequency held, the communication option is designed for study of radio and wire communication. The gen- eral option is offered for those men 60 wko intend to enter tne commercial ana managerial riela. In order to accommodate tKe larg- est class in tne nistory or tne depart- ment, Professor Loyal V. Bewley, head of the department, nas an- nounced tKe addition of Assistant Professor Jonn F. ClarK, Jr., to com- plement the staff of Professors J. Lynford Beaver, Archie R. Miller, Associate Professors Douglas E. Mode, and Assistant Professors Howard D. Gruher, J. J. Karakash, and W ilhs L. Donaldson. A Lehigh graduate. Professor Clarlv obtained valuable experience in electronics at his former employment at the Naval Research Laboratory where his principal study was that of guided missiles. As has been the case in most of the engineering departments, a great deal of government surplus has been purchased since the end of the war. This year three ultra-high-frequency radar sets have been installed in the communication laboratory. Nine mo- tor generator sets have been added to the main power lab in Packard Laboratory. Prime interest of the metallurgical engineer is the production and refin- ing of metals for industrial use. In this he works closely with the mining engineer who has discovered and ex- tracted the raw ore. The Department of Metallurgical Engineering has added three new faculty members to share the work. most of w hich was done by Profes- sors Allison Butts and Gilbert E. Doan and Associate Professor Rob- ert D. Stout. Mr. John H. Gross and Mr. James K. Kerr, who were associ- ated with the department as gradu- ate assistants, have been appointed instructors. Professor Walter Beck has been appointed by Professor Butts to direct corrosion research. Primary change in the curriculum has been the addition of a lecture and lab course in the study of cor- rosion. Study of the development of non- corrosive metals and magnetic alloys and the production of magnetic al- loys by powder metallurgy has been the principal work in the laboratory in Williams Hall. The objective of the Mining En- gineering Department is to train men in all the general fields of mining technology. Besides the actual ex- traction of mineral fuels, metallic and non-metallic ores, the mining engin- eer must be prepared to deal with exploration, plant construction, trans- portation, preparation, and process- ing. Professor Arthur C. Callen, head of the department, and Professor Robert T. Gallagher continue to carry the brunt of the teaching re- sponsibilities. No major curricu lum changes have been made during the past year. Research projects being carried on include an investigation of sizing and dewatering anthracite coal 61 THE DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL AND INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING: Top Row.

Larkin, nead of tne M.E. and I.E. curricula, has announced nis retirement effec- tive July 1, 1948. Professor Larkin, a recognized authority in nis field, has been head of the departments since 1919; he has been largely re- sponsible for maintaining the high standards of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the de- velopment of the Department of In- dustrial Engineering. Professors Arthur W. Klein and Milton C. Stuart continue in their long and loyal service to Lehigh, having completed their 44th and 22nd years with the M.E. Depart- ment, respectively. There have been few recent changes in these departments. Dr. A. C. Bates has returned to the M.E. staff from an industrial posi- tion, and the major research projects with Fels and Company, Heat Ex- change Institute, and the United States Army and Navy are still be- ing continued. Associate Professor Thomas T. Holme is in charge of the Industrial Engineering study. Assisted by Messrs. Beauchamp, Story, and Gould, he imparts the elements of scientific management to the I.E. undergraduates. The importance of Engineering Physics has risen now that man has recognized his obligation to control and direct atomic energy into peace- ful channels. To this end advanced courses in research and nuclear physics have been added to the En- gineering Physics curriculum. Dr. Frank E. Myers, present head of the department, is well-qualified for this 62 field of physics, for before coming to LeKigK, Ke participated in many phases of nuclear pnysics. The department has proDably ex- perienced its greatest change in the physical appearance of the Luilding. The lahs and the lecture rooms were equipped with new fiourescent lights and the building was painted. Sound- proof ceilings were installed in the lecture rooms and laboratories. Fa- cilities for both graduate and under- graduate work were expanded, and continued expansion and improve- ment are planned for the future. The Physics Department lost sev- eral good men when Professor Frede- rick A. Scott left to become head of the Department of Physics at the University of New Hampshire and Professors Charles O. Ahonen and Dean W. Stebbins left to assume positions at the Boston University and Iowa State College, respectively. Assistant Professor Donald B. Wheeler, Lehigh ' 38, joined the staff, while Clarence L. Hogan, Robert C. Good, and Alfred B. Laponsky, all Lehigh graduates, were appointed instructors. Professor Charles C. Bid- well, who retired in 1946, was elected Professor Emeritus of Physics. Now, the cadre of the Physics De- partment is composed of Drs. Frank E. Myers and Paul L. Bayley, and Associate Professors Elliot W. Cheney, Raymond B. Sawyer, Cas- sius W. Curtis, and Jones W. Hyatt.

DE POMPADOUR THE aggregate sign of tne Class of 1Q48 shook perceptalDly the flagpole in front of Asa Packer Memorial Building at Commence- ment ceremonies. The 550 men, larg- est graduating class in Lehigh s his- tory, had at last reached the goal that they had sought intermittently since 1940 or 1941. Most came fresh from high school before the war years and had only recovered from the inevitable con- fusion of hour quizes, Joe Kinney s, fraternities, and Moral and Religious Philosophy, to he swept into the mill- stream of war. Many came back; some did not. Those that came back brought with them the weapons that killed or mortally wounded the alleged do or die for old Lehigh spirit. The class of 1948 will never be noted for the wildness of its parties, or the recklessness of its bonHre rallies. No member of the class attempted to be- head the Lafayette eagle with an acetylene torch or to raze Muhlen- burg. Cedar Crest and Moravian might well marvel at the docility of the class as a whole, save for a pa- jama parade that shook the Fem- Sem to its aged old foundations. But the class of 1948 has accom- plished something that superogates the antics of the pre-war collegians. They have come back to school witn two strikes scored against them, one, their age which averages close to 25. two, an interval break in their education that diametrically opposes every concept of higher learning. Notwithstanding, they have over- come their adjustment difficulties and turned more time than ever to their studies. To this the higher averages and sparseness of cuts offers ample evidence. As they first returned they found little time for extra-curricular activi- ties. Gradually the class overcame its initial trials, the routine of study, the cynicism developed in the service, and organized or joined organizations coinciding with individual interests. Married students wives banded to- gether and formed the Dames Club. Veterans branched into the myriad of societies of campus. — the Flying Club, the Bridge Club. A.V.C., and a galaxy of others. The friction in- herent between the veteran and the non-veteran disappeared in the sim- ilarity of individual aims and aspira- tions. And so it went. The returning vet- eran joined ranks with the man who had started his education during the war years. By their junior year the class had tightened. The heterogene- ous mixture evolved into a unified body with their collective aim gradu- ation. These last two years saw the first true class since before the war at Lehigh, Yes, the class of 1948 has etched its numerals on Lehigh; and Lehigh, in turn, has etched its mark on the class. 67 HOWARD JAY ABELOW CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DRINKER 4 Howie, who comes from Rye, New York, Has served as treasurer of Drinker 4 since arriving here in 1944.

ANON. FRA TERNITIES IT can be said, without a doubt, that fraternity nfe at Lehigh has surpassed anything that has ever been seen since the first fraternity opened its doors to the University. A stronger bond between fraternities has developed. New houses are being planned for Sayre Park. Scholarship is being stressed more. Social and athletic activities are going at full speed and, instead of slowing down, are gaining momentum all the time. Finally, after two years of reorgan- ization, all the fraternities are located in permanent homes. Sigma Alpha Mu, the lone fraternity without a house, moved into its old home at 506 W. Third Street after an absence of some three years. New additions were made to most houses. Sigma Nu acquired a new kitchen and dining room. The interior of the Beta House had a face lifting as did the Kappa Sig House and Delta Phi House. Most of the manual labor was taken care of by the brothers. Socially, the Sigma Nus, Phi Gams, and Psi U s lead the way with innumerable weekend parties. Fall Houseparty. sponsored very ca- pably by the Interfraternity Coun- cil, featured the piano of Skitch Henderson and the drums of Buddy Rich. As in the past, all the houses held bang-up parties on Saturday night. Anyone traveling from chap- ter to chapter, as so many did, was royally feted at each house. At Christmas the Lambda Chis held a Christmas Party for a group of chil- dren from the Bethlehem Boys Club. This practice was also taken up by a few of the other houses. Pledging of new men was actively engaged in by most fraternities. Since the administration has put a damper on the pledging of freshmen after September, 1Q48, it is imperative that all houses be built-up in manpower before this date. After this June, most houses will have depleted member- ships due to the large graduating class and consequently will be look- ing for a larger number of new men in September. Interfraternity sports found the Phi Gams walking away with most of the trophies. By the looks of things, the remainder of the houses are go- ing to begin sponsoring scholarships for intramural athletics. Most of the fraternities have been stressing scholarship a little more than usual this year. The Tau Delts clinched forever the Phi Sigma Kappa scholarship cup by being the first fraternity to win the cup three times. The fraternities at Lehigh are striv- ing to become an important institu- tion in the lives of all Lehigh men. I hrough a well-organized governing body, and strong spirit this end will easily be achieved. 205 Alpha Chi Rho THE Fraternity of AlpKa Chi Rno was rounaea by rive men at Trinity College, Hartford, Conn., on June 4, 1895. Soon after otfier cfiapters were foundea ana in 1918 ttie Pni Mu cnapter was estab- lisnea at Lenigri University as a re- sult of a local fraternity petitioning tne national organization. Pfii Mu has occupied rive houses since its or- ganization, the present house being at the corner of Packer and Mont- clair Avenues. The chapters of Alpha Chi Rho have a distinctive alumni organiza- tion. The graduate brothers are bound together in an alumni chapter which is governed by an executive committee and which acts as adviser to the active members. A building and property committee, composed of local alumni also aid each chapter. In 1937 the custom of giving a Christmas dinner and party for the underprivileged children of Bethle- hem was started by Alpha Chi Rho. Since its inception the custom has been adopted by several other Lehigh fraternities. This year, as in the past, a dinner was held and was enjoyed by the brothers as much as it was enjoyed by the children invited. An- other important date on the Phi Mu s calendar is the annual exchange baseball game and dance with Phi Phi, the chapter at the University of Pennsylvania. It is hoped that this dance will be as successful as those held in past years. Members of Alpha Chi Rho are on the swimming, football, baseball, and track teams. Representatives or Phi Mu are found in many of the school organizations and societies. 206 Top Roic: ScKafer. Foster. Small. Heltliall.

The house has a fine record and many trophies to show for its partici- pations in intramural athletics. Alpha Chi Rho, while helping to Duild a new Lehigh, has finally at- tained its pre-war position as a Uni- versity living group. The additions that are made to Phi Mu, both mate- rial and spiritual, will only add to an already great reputation. 207 Alpha Sig ma Phi THE year 1947-1948 has been an eventful one for Alpha Sigma Phi. Getting into full swing in the steppea-up post-war col- lege life, the Alpha Sigs have been active in all phases of Lehigh activi- ties. This fall, Bob Henarick ana Bob Cairns aaaea their talents to the band, ana Dean Moyer was student manager of the university orchestra. John Biegler has devoted his time to the Goblet and Epitome, while Harry Williams, Don Cameron, and Bill Rupp have been busy helping to get Radio Brown and White on the air. Wayne Schwab and Charles Butter- worth have been doing lots of talking in the Debating Society and we ex- pect to hear more from them in the future. In the field of sports, Alpha Sigs have also entered into all intramural activities. Last spring. Ken Pike and Jim Holyoke won their letters in track. Bill Rupp has been doing some fancy stepping with the fencing team, and Jack Mountsier played guard on the junior varsity football team. Other campus activities found Dean Moyer as vice-president of Alpha Epsilon Delta, the pre-medical society, and Bob Mountsier was treasurer of both the Interfraternity Council and the Senior Class. In spite of all these activities, Alpha Sigma Phi ranked as the fourth highest fraternity scholastical- ly last spring. Ered Langenberg, W ayne Schwab, and John Mosko- witz were initiated into Phi Eta Sig- ma, the honorary freshman scholastic fraternity. Alpha Sigma Phi realized that it is only by continuous improvement that the present-day fraternity can 208 IT v «.- Top Row. Rupp, Lciiiy iioerg, Scnwab, Ziegler, Bulkr- worth. Barthelson, Banks.

Accordingly, tKe Alpha Sigs, hke many Lenign fraternities, devoted mucn time and effort to rejuvenating tneir riouse. Was it progress or sim- ply another expression of the New Look that caused the house to un- dergo a complete beautifying treat- ment? The paint job and the new driveway did wonders for the appear- ance of the house. But if the rest of Delaware Avenue marvelled at the exterior, the members could certainly celebrate over the revamped interior. Best of all was the new game room, boasting much excellent equipment. Alpha Sigma Phi believes that there is more to a university than just books. Besides the regular college studies, there must be a balanced portion of recreation and fellowship. It is with this belief that the Alpha Sigs have sought to provide recrea- tional facilities for their members that will both entertain and aid them simultaneously. The brothers are looking forward to a good season in the coming year. Improvement and expansion are the order of the day at Alpha Sigma Phi. A fraternity is a training ground for co-operation, brotherhood, and leaderships-three qualities necessary for successful men. Alpha Sigma Phi has in the past and will in the future attempt to provide these qualities. 209 Alpha Tau Omega ALPHA TAU OMEGA Fra- ternity was founaea in Ricn- mona, Virginia, by tnree cadets or tne Virginia Military Insti- tute on September 18, 1865, ana was incorporated as a recognized body four years later. At first, primarily a southern fraternity due to tne period and location of its establishment, the organization branched northward in 1881 with the founding of a chapter at the University of Pennsylvania. Growth thereafter proceeded rapidly until now the fraternity has 101 chap- ters and 47,000 members. The Alpha Rho chapter, with its establishment at Lehigh in 1882, became concomit- antly the second national fraternity at Lehigh and the second chapter of Alpha Tau Omega above the Mason-Dixon line. The Alpha Rho chapter occupied various houses in Bethlehem until 1916. In that year the present chapter house on the campus was completed. This year there are 31 members living in the house and three married 210 1 ! ' 1 r . ■Lr- ' - - ' •-n ' w -: -..-• 1 . u TVi-n - ■ LiUdU JdJ .• ' l! ? ' 5 -r W r.K V Top Row: Stevenson.

The Alpha Taus are active in campus activities with representatives in Tau Beta Pi, Alpha Kappa Psi, ScaDbard and Blade, Cyanide, the Symphony Orchestra, and the various curricu- lum societies. The fraternity actively engages in interiraternity sports. 211 Beta Theta Pi BETA CHI Chapter of Beta TKeta Pi was well repre- sented in a good cross-section of campus activities on Soutn Moun- tain during tke past year. In May, 1947, the house was very proud of the twelve singers who competed and won the bronze, twenty-four inch singing trophy awarded to the best singing group by the New York Alumni Club. In November we were very pleased to take second place in the Lehigh-Lafayette Display Con- test sponsored by the Interfrater- ityC ouncil Three Beta brothers, Gus La Sasso, Johnny Berdan, and Jack Cummings are members of the var- sity football team. Ben Collins, se- lected to captain the soccer team next year, has been selected to play on an All-Collegiate eleven against an All-East squad. Ben also has the dis- tinction of being captain-elect of the lacrosse team. In March, at the East- ern Intercollegiate Wrestling meets at New Haven, we saw Eric Erikson take second place to Army s Theve- net. Karl Rehnert, a veteran of two seasons on the varsity basketball team, hopes for another good year. Johnny Palmer, breaststroker on Le- high ' s swimming team for the third consecutive season, will captain the tankmen during the coming season. Eric Erikson is currently president of the Sophomore Class, while Dick Bodine, former president of his Junior Class, is now vice-president of the Interfraternity Council. George Richards was awarded first place in the Williams prize for English Com- positi on. Dick Bodine, incidentally, carries top honors tor individual 212 L t S ' ' 1 Top Roio: Bond, Cumniings, Erikson, A. ? Iicliie. W. Micnie. Borgeson, Collins, Roth, Palmer, DeCanip. MacMillan.

He was one of tne tnree men snaring tne Sophomore Scnolarsnip Award ($200) and has been initi- ated into a number or societies, among which are Cyanide, Omicron Delta Kappa, Pi Tau Sigma, Tan Beta Pi, and Phi Eta Sigma. During the summer the Beta House was given a new interior race. The entire inside has been repainted ; the sitting room, dining room, and stairway are now an emerald green. In the hving room there are draperies or green, with a tropical effect, that sets off the green paint very well. All the woodwork in the house is trimmed in white. In the cellar two oil burners have been installed, and where tne coal bin once stood there now stands a bar-recreation room. The recreation room is in knotty pine. and the floor is covered with red and black asphalt tile. The Betas have tried, and think they have been successful, to carry out the true ideals which a fraternity stands for. Scholastically, socially, and in extra-curricular activities they have come to the fore as a well-knit organization capable of handling any occasion with the utmost dexterity. 213 Chi Phi THE PSl cKapter of tKe CKi PKi Fraternity was estaLlisKed at LehigK University on Febru- uary 22, 1872. Since then, except for a brief period during World War 11, the chapter has maintained a con- tinuous existence here. Psi of Chi Phi is the oldest frater- nity here at Lehigh. Last February we celebrated the seventy-fifth anni- versary of our founding. One or the biggest events on our social calendar was a gala alumni weekend in honor of this event. Another anniversary to add to our list of celebrations is the twenty-nfth anniversary of the opening of the present chapter house in Sayre Park. This fall a major improvement was made on the chapter house grounds. The springs and floods caused by heavy rains on South Mountain were gradually wearing away the land- scaping in front of the house. Largely through the efforts of the freshmen, five retainer walls were constructed on the lower end of the property. The walls serve a two-fold purpose: they aid in holding the soil in place and produce an attractive terracing effect to grace the front of our property. Like all other living groups, Chi Phi is anxious to make good in intra- mural sports and win trophys to deco- rate our mantelpiece. W e recently completed a somewhat successful touch football season, losing only two games. In basketball, however, we in- tend to do better. W e have already won two out of two games and are anxiously looking forward to the re- mainder of our schedule. Chi Phi boasts of two well-rounded teams. W ith a set up like this to back us up we can only feel somewhat optimistic. A cross-section of university activ- ities would show that Chi Phi is in- 214 Top Row.

Chi Phi s are active in Ar- cadia, Brown and White, Glee CluL, Varsity L Club, Debating Society, Mustard and Cheese, Persb- ing Rifles, Pi Tau Sigma, A.S.M.E., and Alpha Kappa Psi. In the field of athletics Chi Pbis ' may be seen in football, swimming, rifle, lacrosse, and bockey. Lacrosse seems to be a major sport witb us. Last spring six Chi Phis were on the lacrosse team. The team captain was a Chi Phi. Cbi Phi is proud of her contri- bution to seventy-five years of Lehigh history. We look forward to many more years of helping to establish and maintain tbe traditions of wbich Lehigb is so proud. 213 Chi Psi DURING tKe fifty years since its inception here at LenigK, AIpKa Beta Delta of Chi Psi rias placed prime emphasis upon university activities. The fraternity feels that a whole-hearted entrance into athletic and social activities is necessary il close harmony is to be maintained among those brought to- gether by the routine of college life. The past year has seen Chi Psi well represented in the field of ath- letics. The sports in which the men participated were varsity and fresh- man football, basketball, wrestling, hockey, baseball, lacrosse, track, and sailing. As a supplement to the ath- -.

Four are in Alpha Kappa Psi, one in Pi Tau Sigma, and still another in the Tone Society. Other active members in the house include the president of the Interfraternity Council and the vice-president of the Class of 1948. Two of the brothers recently solved a difficult housing problem in such an ingenious manner that nation- wide attention was focused on them and Chi Psi at Lehigh. Returning to Lehigh from service in the armed forces, George and Charles Stone from Pawling, New York, set out to find suitable living quarters for them- selves and their wives. Faced with a critical housing shortage in Beth- lehem, the brothers purchased a farmhouse south of the city. Reno- vations and repairs took much co- operative effort, but the two families pitched in and shared the work. Notice of this combined effort of two veterans to provide housing for themselves while attending college under the GI Bill of Rights reached a nation-wide audience when the 216 Top Row: W ' erling, Granger, Wilson, S.

DouDie Parking, a lengthy article on the Stone brothers and their wives, described in detail the dirncuhies they had to overcome. Despite the fact that the Stone broth- ers hved outside their fraternity, they still kept an active interest in Chi Psi. The Ladies Home Journal recog- nized the importance of Chi Psi to the two brothers and, as a parting reward for their co-operation in writ- ing the story, gave a party for the en- tire fraternity. It was like houseparty all over again for all our members and their dates. We unanimously agreed that the Ladies Home Journal deserved a great deal of thanks, not only for the aid they gave to George and Charles, but also for a long-re- membered party and favorable pub- licity. For the past two years, we have given a pre-alumni weekend party den, Williams, Schaffer, Holtiics, Hanson. Fronf Row: Pearson, McHugh, Durl, Bartholomew, Lonell, E.

Alpha Beta Delta Chapter of Chi Psi has been selected as host to the National Fraternity Convention next September. As a preliminary to this outstanding event, the interior of the lodge will be extensively redecorated. Chi Psi looks forward to a prosper- ous year. 217 Delta Phi AS Nu Chapter opened its 63rcl year at LehigK, we lookea forward to a better year than ever. This bright outlooK was due largely to the initiation in February of seven new brothers, Joseph H. Bedson, Stephen A. Combs, John R. Freeman, John A. Martin, Robert D. Meyer, Carlyle J. Roberts, and Robert H. Wilhide. This brought our house total up to the prewar level for the first time in nve years, and taking up where we had stopped December 7, 1941, we made rapid progress in campus and fraternity activities. Under the leadership of William C. Goulding as president and D. E. Wemple as vice-president, the house resumed many of its old customs, among them the reinstatement of Parent s Day. Our Spring House- party proved to be the finest we had seen for a long while. However, the social life failed to hold us back scholastically. Our average places us second among fra- ternities at Lehigh and ranked us fifth among all the living groups. Surprisingly enough, the hard work necessary to attain this high average did not prevent the brothers from entering the many extra-curricular activities offered at the University. As a matter of fact, we are quite proud of our record in athletics, choral and dramatic societies, and honorary societies. With the influx of new brothers and the return of some of the old faces, we naturally increased our la- bor supply and were able to get a good deal of work done on the house. Our labor force (freshmen, that is!) started by painting each room week- end by weekend. New Venetian blinds and new drapes — presents of 218 Top Row: Mohr, Ward, Freeman. Irwin. Moore. Roberts.

Over the summer the job was completed by Brothers Wemple, Perry, and Ingersoll, who painted the entire outside of the house. The beginning of the fall semester saw us once again rarin to go . Our number had been depleted by the graduation of Brothers Longley, Bruns, and Browning and by Broth- er Wilhide s transfer to the Univer- sity of Hawaii. However, at the close of a successful rushing season we had acquired four pledges, Richard W. Irwin, Elwood C. Eldridge, Frederick S. Mohr, and John A. Ward. We were also bolstered by the return from service of Brother Moore. J. R. Gary Esser was elected president with Brother Perry as vice- president. Brother Smith continued to rill very capably the job of treas- urer. As before, we held a high rank- ing scholastically and were active on campus, having representatives on the football and wrestling teams as well as other activities. W ork on the house continues, the major renova- tion being the new bar put in by Brothers Wemple, Combs, and Eld- ridge. The newest addition was ade- quately broken in, but as usual the highlight of the social season was the houseparty. Other prominent events were the alumni reunion party over Lafayette Weekend and our annual Christmas party. Delta Sigma Phi DELTA SIGMA PHI frater- nity, has undergone consis- tent expansion until there are now forty-one active chapters throughout the United States and Canada. The Beta Theta chapter house or Delta Sigma Phi is just off the Le- high campus on Packer Avenue. Since moving to this location in the summer of 1945. the brothers have been constantly at work improving their facilities. Soon to be opened is the basement recreation room which was constructed solely by the men in the fraternity. Although Delta Sigma Phi is one rp.:k V: nm aissi St i %Y ; ifi 1 nm H Iw J H m ■«iHi.. . . ..::.;:.-!5 ; ii.,i Ikmh of the youngest fraternities at Lehigh, its members have gained recognition for themselves both scholastically and socially. Like most fraternities, one of the most important events of the Delta Sigma Phi year is the semi-annual houseparty weekend. Homework is either done in advance or put aside. Long-range plans are necessary for dates, tuxedos, flowers, transportation, and entertainment during the packed forty-eight hour celebration. For the 1947 Houseparty, the house featured a picnic for members and their dates at the Sunshine Club. Saturday evening the couples danced to the music of Henry John s orchestra at the chapter house. A few months later it was time for the Fall Houseparty, and once again, the Delta Sigma Phi brothers readied their house for another weekend of festivity. After the Friday night form- al dance in Grace Hall and the Kings Point football game the fol- lowing afternoon, the couples were ready for the dance at the fraternity house. Milton Jones and his orches- tra furnished the miusic for an eve- 220 o ..I y J e itlk ' siSSiisxr i rssmia ' iwm ' ; Top Row: Rollins, MascucK, McNaughton, W ' ilken- son. Smith.

WKile tKey were the biggest so- cial features or tne year, nouseparties were not the only events on the cal- endar. An informal picnic was held for the rushees, and just before the December holidays, a Christmas party was held by the brothers. Dur- ing the year, several dances were sponsored for the fraternity members and their dates. Four members of Delta Sigma Phi, August Hildenbrandt, John Landvater, Donald Ross, and Wal- ter Stiver, wrote another chapter in Lehigh history when in October 1947, they founded the S.P.A.B.M.

The honor of being elected to membership in such honorary socie- ties as Tau Beta Pi, Pi Tau Sigma, Newtonian Society, Phi Eta Sigma, Pi Delta Epsilon, Alpha Kappa Psi, and Scabbard and Blade has come to several members of Delta Sigma Phi. Other organizations in which Delta Sigs are active include the Goblet, the University Band, the Glee Club, riHe team, Alpha Phi Omega, soccer team, golf team, and the freshman wrestling team. Secure in their new home, mem- bers of Delta Sigma Phi look for- ward to a successful future in the coming years. Delta Tau Delta DELTA TAU DELTA made its first appearance at Beth- any College in the spring or 1858. A year later, tKe badge, motto, and constitution were adopted by the fraternity. Delta Tau Delta merged witK tbe Rainbow Fraternity in 1 866 and began an expansion tnat has resulted in over seventy-four chap- ters and an alumni membership of over tKirty tnousand. Beta Lambda Chapter was found- ed at Lehigh in 1874. The bouse oc- cupied two residences in town until 1914 when it moved into its present home, wbicb is the second fraternity house to have been built on the Le- high campus. Delta Tau Delta, since its beginning at Lehigh, has been a leader in extra-curricular activities. The house has had men in all hon- oraries and clubs, and at the present time Delts are members of these or- ganizations. The number of men in Cyanide, Tau Beta Pi, and ODK speaks well of the house activities. In football, soccer, basketball, wrest- ling, swimming, baseball, track, cross country, tennis, and lacrosse, Delts have received letters. In intramural sports, too, the Delts have been quite successful. Each year at Lehigh, there is keen competition among the different fra- ternities to see which of them can provide the best outdoor display for the Homecoming Weekend. When Delta Tau Delta won the award in 1945 and 1946, only one more vic- tory was needed for DTD to retain permanent possession of the coveted trophy. It was not surprising that most of the fraternities redoubled their efforts to recapture the prize in 1947, while Delta Tau Delta made an all-out effort to make this their third victory. Beat Lafayette! was the theme of all the displays, and Delta Tau Delta contributed their version of a Lafayette Crusher ' . Large football Top Roir: Attaway, Van Leuven. I. Gillinder, P.

Many of the other fraternities had excellent displays, and the task of deciding the winning one was not easy, but the judges finally chose the Lafayette Crushe r as the best. The well-earned trophy is now one of the permanent possessions of the Oelts. The most important fraternity publication is the Rainbow, the monthly Delt journal. This maga- zine was first published in 1877 as a monthly called the Crescent, named for one of the fraternity s em- blems. The name of the journal was Leonard. Ruoft. Harris, Kendall, Rowley, C.

All during the difficult days of the war, DTD endeavored to carry on its program despite the absence of most of its brothers whose careers were interrupted by wartime service. Now, with the coming of peace, the house is on the way back to normal pre-war conditions. New members have joined the fraternity and former members have returned to rejoin their brothers in an organization of strong fellowship. ■vnn ' T B UBI 1 ' — ' ' ' ' Rfi i ' - iH :- I L A H Wr m ' . H I i Ifikw l H H ll Delta Upsilon THIS year, as in years past, Delta Upsilon nas been proud of tKe participation or its mem- bers in extra-curricular activities. In the field of sports, D.U. has varsity lettermen on the swimming, golf, la- crosse, football, soccer, and basket- ball teams, with Bob Bassett having served as co-captain of the lacrosse team and Wally Brummitt as cap- tain of the golf team during the past school year. In addition to these var- sity lettermen, three men have re- ceived letters in j.v. football and the freshmen have indicated their ath- letic ability by winning numerals in soccer, football, and basketball. Ollie Sanchez, Al Dealaman, and Emmett Poindexter were the mainstays on the freshman soccer team, while Dick Gratton, Bob Riegel, Dan Murphy, and Bill Burkholder aided Coach Tony Packer in turning out one of the best freshman football teams in the East this year. The fra- ternity is also represented on several honorary scholastic societies as well as having men active on the staff of the Brown and White and in many other societies and clubs. This past year has seen Delta U. as one of the most active participants in fra- ternity intramural sports. Despite the fact that unusually poor weather prevailed at Fall Houseparty, it proved to be one of the most enjoyable and successful weekends of the school year. The house turned out in full force for every event of the weekend, which was terminated with a picnic at Flickinger s Barn. Although the Lafayette football game proved to be a disappointment for all the active brothers as well as the returning alumni and their wives, that Saturday was one not to be 224 m- V ' m ' BK ' Top Row: Burkholder, Bacon, Poindexter, Sanchez, Houghton, Dealaman, Holland, Murphy, Robel.

Among the other outstanding social events of the winter season was the customary house dance held on February 28th. One of the year s most important innovations occurred when Dick Hagadorn returned for the fall se- mester with a new house mascot, a cocker spaniel named Dallas . For the first two weeks of his life at Le- high, Dallas continually attempted to find his way back to his home town of Dallas, Texas. At least it seemed that way to us, since we had to run several ads in the news- paper and to travel to almost un- known parts of Bethlehem to retrieve him. Finally, however, he has settled down and become a regular member Smith, Clay. Moodie, Parseghian, Russell, Jurgen- sen. Hall. Front Row: Bassett, Salmond, Ziebold, Croll, Redhne, Hagadorn, R. S.

At the present time the house is filled to its capacity of thirty-four men and sev- eral married brothers are residing in Allentown and Bethlehem. The graduating class of 1948, consisting of all veterans, includes Ralph Fry- moyer, Richard Hagadorn, John Doster, Samuel Croll, John Ingram, Robert Bassett, John Redline, Wil- liam Ziebold, William Salmond, and John Kaufman. Kappa Alpha Society KAPPA ALPHA. tKe first col- lege social fraternity, was founded over a century ago in 1825 by a group of nine students at Union College. For several years prior to 1825 tfiere had existed at Union an organized company of stu- dents, who got together for outdoor exercise and mintary drill. Interest soon began to lag, and several mem- bers of the class of 1826 conceived tKe idea of a new secret order, thus the Kappa Alpha Society came into being. The founders possessed a uniqueness for organization, and only a few minor alterations in cere- mony have occurred in over a hun- dred years. Despite the opposition of the college authorities, the society materialized and grew, following a policy of restricted expansion, until it consisted of eight chapters. In 1893 three Lehigh students pe- titioned for a charter for their organi- zation, which was very similar to the original organization at Union, and upon the grant of a charter became the Alpha Chapter of Pennsylvania of the Kappa Alpha Society. The first meetings were held in rented rooms, but the rapid growth required a house. After occupying several houses, the Society moved in 1916 to its present Lodge on Seneca Street. Distinctive Kap activities include the Union Triad Dance, which is given the Saturday of Houseparty Weekend, the annual Christmas party, and a trip to the annual re- union and dinner of the Kappa Al- pha Society in New York. Frequent visits to the other chapters through- out the year maintain close relation- ship within the Society. Extra-curricular activities rind K. A. s as energetic participants.

The cross country, soccer, swimming, hockey, and track teams are bolstered by the men of Kappa Alpha. Kappa Alpha Society has always played a major role in all activities at Lehigh. The society has contrib- uted to the growth of the university and has tried to grow with it. This policy will always be distinctive of Kappa Alpha as long as it remains active. 227 Kappa Sigma KAPPA SIGMA ' S traditional rounding was in 1400 in tne city of Bologna, Italy. Tke order was brougnt to tne United States by a young student from tne University of Virginia, who, on De- cember 10, 1869 with four close friends, introduced Kappa Sigma in America. Kappa Sigma nas since swelled its rolls until today 113 ac- tive chapters are to be found through- out the United States and Canada. Beta Iota chapter at Lehigh was founded November 10, 1900. At present the chapter is located on the North Side of Bethlehem at 24 East Church Street. In July of 1947, the house was done over by the land- lord. The old front porch was re- moved, the outside repainted, and the inside generally renovated. As a result, the chapter launched a fur- niture fund, soliciting donations from both alumni and actives. The fund ultimately resulted in a new living room suite and a set of koroseal fur- niture for the solarium. The brothers have also initiated a work campaign under the direction of the house man- ager, Henry De Paoli, which has as its objectives the redecoration of the cellar. Socially, Beta Iota has been very active during the past year. Due to the large influx of returning brothers after the war, it was necessary for some 10 men to room at Brother Kenneth Baumann s house in Beth- lehem. In order to keep the chapter solidly united despite this enforced separation of living quarters, a plan was formulated whereby parties for brothers and pledges would be held the second week of every month. The parties turned out to be highly suc- cessful from both a social and prac- tical point of vie v. In addition to these regular get-togethers, the chap- ter has had numerous dances, a hay- ride at Brother Rex Baker s farm in Emmaus, a dance and meeting for 228 Top Row: Byrnes, Phillips, Wilson, Baker, Allen, Fetzer, Hess, Moses, DePaoli, Baskerville, Buttfield.

On the scholastic side, Beta Iota nas been building itself up. Last spring s house average placed us in the number 12 slot in the line-up of Lehigh s 28 fraternities. Comple- menting this scholastic showing Kappa Sigs have been active on campus. Bruno De Paoli w as one of the 1 5 men elected to Arcadia in the first university elections held under the new perferential balloting system. Bruno subsequently was elected to fill the position of vice- president of Arcadia. Bruno also played lacrosse last season along with Bob Suman, house president. Rex Baker played soccer for the high ranking Lehigh team. Whitey Collins is playing basketball at pres- ent and in the spring will be back on the baseball team. Jim Arthur, a pledge, did a bang-up job as guard on Lehigh s most successful football team since before the war. John Matz is one of the miainstays of the golf team with an average in the high 70 ' s. National fraternity activities have kept the brothers busy too. Bruce Waltz was our delegate to the Grand Conclave of Kappa Sigma held in Biloxi, Mississippi, this past summer. 229 Lambda Chi Alpha LAMBDA CHI ALPHA fra- ternity was foundea at Boston University on November 2, 1Q09, as an outgrowth of tKe Cos- mopolitan Law Club. Shortly after its organization as a law fraternity, Lambda CKi AlpKa was reorganizea as a social fraternity. In 1912 ttie admission of chapters at Massachu- setts State College, the University of Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania State College marked the beginning of the national expansion of our fraternity. At present. Lambda Chi Alpha is the largest social fraternity in the nation. Lambda Chi ' s figure prominently in many campus activities and sports including Brown and White, Glee Club, Brown Key Society, soccer, junior varsity football, track. Al- pha Kappa Psi, Phi Alpha Theta, Sailing Club, hockey, Newtonian Society, Pi Delta Epsilon, Pershing Rifles, Interfraternity Council, wrestling, basketball, A.S.C.E., and lacrosse. Outstanding in the group of ac- tivity men were gazelle boy, Ted Franck, who received the Phillip J. McGrath Track Cup as the out- standing member of the track team, and Herm Mellott, who captained Lehigh s best soccer team since 1929. Bill Henry, alias Zachariah, ' wrote the immortal Foul Tips for the Brown and White. Intramurally, Lambda Chi stands with the best. Since the reopening in February, 1946, the house has wrapped up two ofl-campus football championships, reached the univer- sity semi-nnals in basketball, and won its individual league title in volleyball, once, and softball, twice. Scholastically, the house has im- proved a great deal. Currently, 230 Top Row: Ogilvie, Doran, Graucli, Mitchell. Neill, Knauf, Lang, Kowalski, F.

Lamtda Chi ranks sixtK in fratern- ity scholastic average. Socially, the Lambaa Chi s are noted for their hospitahty. Besides the usual big weekends at house- party and Lafayette game, there are numerous informal parties which seem to attract large crowds. A Christmas party was held for a group of underprivileged boys from the Bethlehem Boys Club. In the off-seasons, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, mid-term and Easter, the ang gets together for a party in New York City. House improvements came in the iorm of a complete paint job, both in- side and out. New furniture and rugs Third Row: Mellott, Koehler, Seavey, Bullock, Nelson, Keene, SearFoss, H.

Lambda Chi Alpha is looking for- ward to 1948 when again it will strive for high achievement in all walks of college life. 231 Phi Delta Theta THE physical aspect of tke Pni Delta house at LeKigK Kas clianged somewKat during the past year. Besides extensive land- scaping of the grounds, the interior of the house has been improved by the addition of a new rug and sev- eral pieces of furniture for the liv- ing room. Bothered by the inefficient use of space in the cellar, the broth- ers called upon their own talents to transform this space into a hand- some game room. The official open- ing of our new game room was the occasion of Phi Delta Theta ' s first social function of the spring semes- ter. This first affair consisted of a combination pledge dance and open house followed by a very successful Spring Houseparty. In addition to the Fall Houseparty, the autumn semes- ter of 1947 was marked by two foot- ball dances and our annual Christ- mas party for a group of under- privileged children of Bethlehem. During the past summer, two of the brothers did some rather exten- sive travelling. Bud McGrath, vs hile visiting his parents in Damascus, Syria, found time to take in some of the sights in Palestine, Italy, and Greece. Dick Snyder spent the sum- mer sight-seeing throughout the United States in his automobile. In campus activities. Phi Delta Theta is well represented. Fred Weston has been instrumental in presenting the many attractions of- fered by the Student Concert-Lec- tures Committee. Jim Orr, as a mem- ber of the Interfraternity Council, has played a major part in the or- ganization of the proposed Co-op Food Buying Plan. Hank Hershey and Jim Orr are members of Alpha Kappa Psi, George Kovaka is in Pi Tau Sigma, and Eb Snyder has re- cently been admitted to both Pi Tau Sigma and Tau Beta Pi. Bill Martin and Frank Lake are members of the Chemical Society, Ned Sprang and Bruce Ferguson are active members of the New tonian Society and Top Row. Kanehan, Brew, Martin.

Tom Carmody, Ernie Buzby, George Kovaka, and Wilbert Mc- Cauley played on the junior varsity football team, while Paul Hilf was playing a great game at tackle for the freshman team. Ernie Buzby and Andy Morris were on the varsity basketball squad this season and Dave Thompson and Lou Bevier tried for berths on the frosh swim- ming team. Last spring, Dave Berry was high scorer for the Sailing Club. Phi Delta Theta has been on both the top and bottom in interfraternity athletics. After having copped the basketball championship, we cooled off and slumped into the cellar spot in the softball competition. Despite a slow start, the touch football team managed to make a good showing in its league by the time the final games were played. Phi Delta Theta looks with pride upon its record for the past year and will continue to work to maintain and improve it. I H Wmtm rt! 4 1 ■ 1 Phi Gamma Delta BETA CHI cKapter of Phi Gam- ma Delta vas cnarterea at LekigK in 1887 and since tken the chapter has flourished and grown until it now houses forty-three mem- bers in the chapter house on the campus. The house, which was or- iginally built in 1922, was destroyed by fire in 1942, but has since been restored and improved and is no%v one of the most beautiful fraternity houses at Lehigh. Phi Gamma Delta has always enjoyed a position of prominence in Lehigh activities and social affairs, and through the efforts of a hard- working group of brothers and pledges, the chapter has been able to maintain this high standard through the past year. The Fijis ' have been active in both varsity and intramural athletics, and last spring was no ex- ception. Five of the members were m. ,,, i;f; y stalwarts on the Engineer track team and three were regulars on the baseball squad. At the end of the sea- son two Fijis vere especially hon- ored when Russell Jones was elected to lead the track team in 1948, and Howard Kress was accorded a simi- lar honor by the baseball squad. The past fall also saw brothers par- ticipating on varsity squads, includ- ing five footballers and three soccer players. Russell Jones was co-cap- tain of the gridiron warriors who en- joyed their best season since 1942 when another Phi Gam, Bernie Dee- han, was the captain of the team. Another Phi Gam standout on the football team was DeForrest Bast, a tackle who did most of the kicking for the Engineers . Forry ' was the top punter in the East with an aver- age of 43.2 yards per kick, which incidentally set a new record for a player making over fifty kicks in one season. Because of his outstanding play as a fullback on the soccer team, Douglas Carlton was selected to play on the Eastern Collegiate All-Star team against the All-East All-Stars. ..

In tneir efforts to gain tne intra- mural sports award, tKe fraternity teams took several cnampionsnips. Starting with tne university volley- ball cnampionsnip as a springt)oara, tne Phi Gams went on to win tne Interfraternity Bowling League tro- pny, ana then swept to a win in the Interfraternity Wresthng Tourna- ment. In addition to winning the meet, David Dean, Alan Edward s and Robert Ralston were crowned as individual champions. The most important event during the fall was the semi-annual house- party, which turned out to be the best in the history of the chapter. The success of the affair was largely due to the efforts of the decorating committee which worked long and hard to erect extensive decorations. Building their decorations on a ' Fi- jiland theme, the committee furn- ished everything from passports for the guests to bamboo huts and tropi- cal murals on the walls. Although Phi Gamma Delta has been very active on the campus, the fraternity did not neglect its all-im- portant studying habits. This was evidenced in the Chapter s scholas- tic average for last term which was the second highest in chapter history, eclipsed only by the average of tv o semesters earlier when the house was the top Lehigh fraternity in scholas- tic ratings. Phi Sigma Kappa NU CKapter of PKi Sigma Kappa has always keld a prominent position among the fraternities at Lehigh both for its scholastic achievements and for its participation in extra-curricular ac- tivities. This tradition has been car- ried over from class to class, and re- mains as a part of the house until the present day. The chapter was activated at Lehigh on March 9, 1901, and is part of one of the old- est fraternities in the United States. During the war the Phi Sigs sold their location on Delaware Avenue, and deactivated the chapter on Cen- ter Street with an eye to a future house on the campus. In reopening the chapter, an old mansion of the last century was turned, by the physical work of the brothers, into a modern fraternity house. The mem- bership of the house is twenty-eight brothers and nine pledges, which constitutes a good cross section of the school, scholastically, athletically, and socially. The year 1947 at Phi Sigma Kappa has been a very active one. The house has been brought up to capacity in membership and the first post-war social gatherings were held. Outstanding events of the year were the opening of the recreation room, designed and constructed under the supervision of Brother H. E. Hattal, during May Houseparty; the annual stag Christmas Party, at which time the brothers were razzed by the pledges; the initiation of new broth- ers; and the Alumni Homecoming. This last proved to be the best home- coming or reunion the house has ever had. For two days the cIock was turned back as much as forty 236 iW. 6 ... Front Row: Avey, Burroughs. Scott, Utz.

The other activities in which Phi Sigs participate are: Fencing, Mustard and Cheese, Bridge Club, Band, and the Glee Club. Members of the house participate in almost every varsity sport of the university. The varsity football squad, varsity wrestling team, frosh football team, frosh soccer team, swimming team, and lacrosse team all claim Phi Sigs as standout ath- letes. Besides these sports the house Staples. Third Row: D Antonio, McMuIIen, Berndt, Lamson, Schumacker, Shearer, Bridgeman, Georgi- adus. Top Row: Johnston, Purdy.

Though taking part in many ac- tivities about the school and having men in societies such as A.S.M.E., A.S.C.E., Cosmopolitan Club, In- ternational Relations Club, etc., the men have managed to maintain a scholastic average well above the middle of the fraternity group aver- ages. The interests and courses of the men in the house are as varied as are their personalities and back- grounds. Brothers graduating in the class of ' 48 include: R. D. Wallick, G. B. Staples, T. H. Johnston, R. T. Billiar, and J. G. Glenn. Pi Kappa Alpha DURING tKis, tKe first full post war year of Pi Kappa AIpKa on tKe LekigK cam- pus, tKe fraternity tegan once again to assume its place of leaaersKip in tKe traditions set down in 1868 by its founders at tKe University of Virginia. Pi Kappa AIpKa is a com- paratively new fraternity at LeKigK, coming into existence just 18 years ago. TKe cKapter was closed during tKe war, out now it is running at full strengtK. TKere are 28 brotKers and pledges living in tKe newly re- decorated cKapter Kouse. TKis fall tKe exterior of tKe Kouse w as re- painted, to compliment tKe interior, wKicK was completely redecorated before tKe Kouse was occupied in tKe fall of 1947. Several of tKe members Kave been leaders on tKe campus. E. Warren Bowden is Associate Editor of tKis Epitome and Edgar Mack is on tKe staff of tKe scKooI newspaper, tKe Brown WKite. Donald M. Old- royd Kas taken a leading part in tKe Mustard and CKeese fall production. And just to keep Kimself busy, Ke is senior wrestling manager, being assisted by junior manager KennetK Hankinson. Many members are also active in various student societies. BrotKer Hankinson is also an atK- lete, Kaving been cKosen to play on tKe All Eastern pre-olympic soccer team, after completing a KigKIy suc- cessful season on tKe LeKigK varsity in tKat sport. During tKe fall, MicK- ael Murray saw considerable service as center on tKe football team. JoKn J. Petrone is acting captain of tKe varsity basketball squad, and Frank A.

Two of the men have receivea the highest hon- ors possihle in their respective nelas. Petrone was initiated into Pi Tau Sigma, the honorary mechanical en- gineering society, ana Frank Martin was similarly honored by Alpha Kappa Psi, the business administra- tion honorary. The chapter reaUzes that doing things as a group is what makes a fraternity worthwhile. Its record dur- ing the year in interfraternity com- petition shows that the men not only do things as a group, but that they do them well. During the year Pi Kappa Alpha won the fraternity Softball competition and league championships in volleyball and in touch football. During the year the chapter holds many informal dances and parties. These affairs are always more than successful, winning the fraternity the reputation throughout the campus of being a wonderful host. The annual Christmas party for active and fac- ulty members and Parents Day in the spring of the year were, as usual, two of the most enjoyable times dur- ing the past year. Not overlooking the brilliant rec- ords of individual members, the men of Pi Kappa Alpha hold dear to their hearts the genuine fellowship that always prevails. f: Pi Lambda Phi PI LAMBDA PHI fratern ity, now consisting or 35 cnapters tnrougnout continental United States and Canada, was rounded at Yale University in 1895. At present it is one or tne largest national fra- ternities in tne country. LeKign Uni- versity s representative of Pi Lambda Phi, Lambda Cfiapter, was organ- ized on tKis campus in 1915 by tbe Pioneer Club, becoming tbe nintK link in tne long list of chapters or- ganized by tne executive council of Pi Lambda PKi. During the past scholastic year, many events of notable interest have occurred at Pi Lambda Phi. In uni- son with Lehigh University s ad- vance into the post war future. Pi Lambda Phi has played its part in helping our alma mater and herself achieve new heights. The Brown White is under the capable direction of Al Farans, chairman of the board. Bob Lewi- son has also done a splendid job in organizing and heading Radio Brown and White. Pi Lam is vell represented on Lehigh ' s varsity athletic teams. Some of the fraternity s lettermien include Harry Meyerhoff, lacrosse; Bruce Hinlein, wrestling; Al Abromovitz, football; Ed W achtel, fencing; DicIc Krauss, baseball; Bob Katz, golf; Dick Mesirov, swimming, and many others vho have contributed to the success of the various Lehigh teams. Tau Beta Pi, the national honor- ary engineering society has its share of Pi Lams, namely Dave Simon, Bob and Al Rosener, Maurice Bick, and Howard Ellowitz. Pi Lambda Phi has annexed many intramural athletic trophies in the 240 Top Row: Quint. Newman, Landau, W ' eintraub, Schwartz, Sterne, Keslenbaum, Guggenheim, Bloch, Lewison, R.

TKe football, basketball, and wrestling teams, all of wnicn took runnerup honors last year, are contemplating higher goals this year. Many steps have been taken to- wards the redecorating of the interior of the chapter house. Among the numerous improvements are the building of a bar and recreation room in the cellar, new furniture for the living room, new draperies and car- peting, as well as painting and papering of the public rooms down- stairs. Wedding bells have rung for two of our brothers during the past year. Norman Roth married Miss Shirley Weiss of Allentown, Pa., and Stuart Stern and Miss Pat Hughes of Jenkintown, Pa., were bet rothed. A great majority of the veterans that have returned in the last two years will be graduating in June. At present the house consists of 65 brothers, a number of them living out. Due to the large graduating class in June, we expect to have all the brothers living at the chapter house next September. Pi Lambda Phi is once again oper- ating at full strength, and with the ne v flow of students entering Le- high each semester, we anticipate a very prosperous and successful fu- ture. y ' Psi Upsilon F EBRUARY 1947 Psi U. lost seven of its pre-war brothers. Whit Snyder, the Joey Chit- wood of Lehigh, hit the old Cum- berland Trail for the steel works in his newly acquired 1929 Packard touring sedan. Dwight Tenney headed for the Blue Grass country to try the booming automobile busi- ness. Gil Smith is selling button- holes by the mile; Bob Maloney is a food broker up in the Dutch coun- try.

Ted Fries is debiting the credit in a New York accounting house, and Phi Beta Link is an engineer at International Business Machines Inc. — Joe Kinney s sales down 50 per cent. With Asa Day as social chair- man, an open house party was held early in April. Taking toll of the damage after the party, it was found that 45 doorknobs, 863 glasses, and one radiator, an old one, were miss- ing. The vandals returned the radia- tor via parcel post, but we are still entering and leaving the house through the windows! The month of May started off with houseparty. Ted Hodges continued his winning streak in pitching for the baseball team. Psi Upsilon s Softball team came through the season fairly well. Graduation time once again and Psi U. lost five more men— Joe Kin- ney s sales down 33 1 3 per cent. Summer school left us with ten men.

After a temporary absence of three years, S.A.M. re- turned to its old home. Within six hours after the papers had been signed S.A.M. s brothers had started to work on refurnishing and remodel- hng the house. Walls were torn down, rooms repainted, furniture was moved in, and a kitchen was prompt- ly installed. Under the guidance of our president, Alan Shapiro, our re- corder Morgan Miller, and our treas- urer Murray Goodman, Sigma Al- pha Mu soon looked like its old self. Within eight short weeks S.A.M. was able to welcome its alumni home to a house that looked better than it ever had before. 100 guests came and saw that the impossible had been done. W e had changed an apartment house into a fine fra- ternity house. But remodelling did not take up all our time. W e found time to rush and pledge three exceptional men -- Barney Dreyfuss of W ashington, D. C, Evan Friedman of Larch- mont, N. Y., and Bernard Rosen, a Sommerville, N. J., boy. W e had cause to be proud of all three boys -they are all doing well in their studies, and to top it off are good athletes. Bernie Rosen won his major ' L representing Lehigh on the gridiron, Ev Friedman played fresh- man football, and Barney has been helping out the fraternity basketball team. Of course the brothers had no idea of letting themselves be out- done by the pledges in any way. Scholastically S.A.M. is proud of its newly elected member of Phi Beta Kappa— ' Alan Shapiro, one of only 244 j Top Row: Friedman, Zeigen, Rosen, Smith, Dreyfuss.

George Astrove was our representa- tive on the sopnomore nonors list, and Morgan Miller was elected to Phi Alpha Theta, the historical hon- or society. S.A.M. shines on the Dasketball floor too. Lehigh s varsity sports no less than three or our rraternity broth- ers. Murray Goodman is in there to catch the high ones, Herbert Zuckerman and Charles Geoly are righting it out at the forward slots. We ve also got a S.A.M. boy on Lehigh ' s reorganized lacrosse team, Bob Zeigen is his name. And last but not least on this list of athletes there s our soccer playing kitchen manager, Dick Lavine. But the boys don t only study and play ball, they take an active inter- est in the activities on campus. Howie Lasser is the exchange editor for Brown White and is a mem- ber of the Cosmopolitan Club and the Bridge Club. George Marcus handles the ticket situation for Mus- tard and Cheese and is actively in- terested in A.V.C. A new council was elected re- cently to guide us through the next semester. Our new president is Howard W einstein — a Philadel- phian, like his predecessor Alan Shapiro. Howie just came back from Norway after spending the summer there as an exchange student. Mur- ray Goodman is still guiding our fi- nancial affairs and Herb Siegel is tak- ing care of the records. Sigma Chi THE AIpKa RKo Chapter of Sigma CKi, wKicK Kas been at LeKigK for more than sixty years, has over sixty members tnis year, and Kas been having one of its best years since its inception. Socially the Chapter has been very active since last February. We celebrated the annual Miami Triad Dance with Beta Theta Pi and Phi Delta Theta last April and followed that with the Spring Houseparty, which featured the selection of Miss Pat Mullin as the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi at a banquet at Hotel Bethlehem. Although the chapter was not officially open during the summer, a large group of the mem- bers gathered at Ocean City during August for a beach party which was climaxed by an all day sail around Delaware Bay on Norm Jeffries oyster boat. The fall semester brought the Fall Houseparty, a joint party with the Lafayette chapter of Sigma Chi, and the annual Duclcey Adams Memorial Dinner just prior to the Christmas vacation. The chapter has been very active in interfraternity sports, losing the Softball championship for the spring semester in the final playoff, but winning it during the summer. We won our football league champion- ship only to drop a re-played game to Delta Upsilon in the play-offs. The interfraternity basketball team looks good, and we have teams in all the other interfraternity sports. W ith such a large chapter we have men in almost all the campus activities. Gil Jefferies is the manag- ing editor of the Epitome, treasurer of Arcadia, and a member of Pi Tau Sigma. Bob Stolz, Bob McNabb, Bob Smith, and Ethan Smith are also members of Pi Tau Sigma with Ethan Smith as secretary. Bob Mc- Nabb, Ethan Smith, and Johnny Gebhard are members of Tau Beta Pi, and Bob McNabb is secretary of the Senior Class graduating in February.

Pete Musser and Stove Rochester swim; George Rockefeller, Bob Saw- hill, and Buck Bell wrestle; and To m Dowdell plays freshman basketball. Since the spring semester, the chapter has engaged in two major projects, both of which were success- ful. The hrst project was the re-nn- ishing of both the interior and ex- terior of the house. The second proj- ect was the improvement of alumni relations, which were enhanced greatly during the annual Home- coming Weekend. : € e L wm i • • ' 1 . 1 iMf y . , ' m M. J A o 4 vJiNlH Sigma Nu SIGMA NU, organized in 1868 by tnree cadets at tne Virginia Military Institute, was origin- ally known as the Legion or Honor. Being one of the leading national iraternities, the memDers of Pi Chap- ter have shown their influence in activities at Lehigh since as early as 1885 when Sigma Nu s White Feet first invaded the university. The chapter house, built on cam- pus in 1915, is located at the en- trance of Sayre Parl . In the past year plans were made and construc- tion started to enlarge the fraterni- ty s dining and kitchen facilities showing that the boys from Sigma Ik. v ■| J.J ■J ,:. -r— -■■ - .;44: ii 1 i i : Nu are keeping up with their rapidly expanding university. The brothers who are very active in campus social activities, started off last spring with a campus-wide party at Flickinger s Barn. Shortly afterward the Sigma Nu parents were entertained at the chapter house. The Spring Houseparty fol- lowed, and the Sigma Nus topped off the week-end with a party at the house on Saturday night after a pic- nic at the Seidersville Rod Gun Club. The boys really got together for this party and, under the able supervision of Walt Gee and AI Glossbrenner, built a bar especially for the occasion. The marriages of Brothers Warren Chedd and Connie Anderson closed spring social ac- tivities. Formal rushing started the fall s emester. A party at the house followed the Muhlenberg game and soon after came the Fall House- party. Alumni Homecoming was also a big time at the Sigma Nu House. The alumni were feted on Friday night and this was followed by an informal get-together between alum- ni, parents, and friends following the 248 V V i ' f - ' fr i Top Row. D. C. Ramsay, R. E.

Sigma Phi SIGMA PHI Society was f oun Jed at Union College in 1827, tKe second secret society to be formed in an American college, and by virtue of its expansion to Hamil- ton College to 1831, it was tbe first national fraternity in tbe nation. Sigma Pbi, togetber witb Kappa Alpba and Delta Pbi fraternities, form tbe Union Triad, consisting of tbe first tbree American societies, all of wbicb were formed at Union Col- lege. Tbe Lebigb Cbapter of Sigma Pbi, designated as Alpba of Penn- sylvania, was cbartered on tbe fourtb of Marcb, 1887. Tbe bouse on Delaware Avenue, still occupied by tbe actives, was tbe first fratern- ity bouse built at Lebigb. Plans are now underway for tbe construction of a new bouse in Sayre Park and tbe building sbould be ready for occupancy in tbe spring. Socially, tbe Sigs bave prospered.

Tnis rail closer contact witn alumni was formulated oy reinsti- tuting tKe bi-montkly publication of a chapter newsletter, the Alpha Signet, which was discontinued dur- ing the war. The Sigs are active in the follow- ing campus organizations: Arcadia, Pi Mu Epsilon, Pi Tau Sigma, Eta Sigma Phi, University Board of Publications, Newtonian Society, Alpha Kappa Phi, Howard Ecl feldt Society, and Pi Delta Epsilon. Other activities boasting Sig men include: International Relations Club, For- eign Policy Association, American Veterans Committee, University Band, Senior Graduation Commit- tee, Brown and White, University Glee Club, sophomore and junior basketball managers, Lehigh Sail- ing Club, Delta Omicron Theta, Canterbury Club, Alpha Phi Ome- ga, Radio Club, Senior Dues Com- mittee, Mustard and Cheese, Senior Dance Committee, University Fly- ing Club, Radio Brown and White, Varsity L Club, and all course societies. The fraternity has letter- men in football, track, baseball, and tennis. Sigma Phi Epsilon SIGMA PHI EPSILON Prater- nity, founded in 1901 at RicK- mond College in Richmond, Virginia (now the University or Richmond) , has grown by its forty- seventh year into a national frater- nity with 79 chapters and over 28,- 000 members. Since its organization, Sigma Phi Epsilon has been a pion- eer in fraternity economics. The Sig- ma Phi Epsilon Plan of Finance which was developed at Purdue during the First World War has been adopted by over 1 5 other fra- ternities, and over 40 fraternities have adopted the Life Membership Plan formulated by Sigma Phi Ep- silon. The Lehigh Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon grew out of Omega Pi Al- pha, a local fraternity at Lehigh Uni- versity. In 1906 the 16 members of this local petitioned for membership in Sigma Phi Epsilon, and in 1907, when the petition was granted, the Pennsylvania Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded. At the present time the fraternity has 32 brothers, 11 pledges, 10 married brothers, and an alumni group of over 350. Besides the Spring and Fall Houseparties which are the high spots of Lehigh social life, social affairs in 1947 included rive informal dances, four stag parties, and a rush- ing picnic. At the Reunion W eek- end and Homecoming Weekend, open house was held for the alumni. In October a banquet was held at the Hotel Bethlehem in honor of Mr. Edward H. Thevenet as an ex- pression of gratitude for his 25 years of service as a member and president of our Alumni Board. 252 Front Row: Mertz, Winner. Winner, Wolf, Moore, Prosswimmer, Rosen.

The fraternity is also repre- sented in the Band, Glee Club, Chapel Choir, Sailing Club, Ski Club, International Relations Club, Goblet Staff, ASME, Canterbury Club, Newman Club, Student Chemical Society, Mustard and Cheese, and the Varsity L Club. Men in the house are also active in honorary societies which include Alpha Kappa Psi, Eta Kappa Nu, Phi Eta Sigma, Newtonian Society, Phi Alpha Theta, and Tau Beta Pi. Tau Delta Phi DURING tKe past year the Kouse itself has been the sub- ject or many improvements. In the spring the old ivy was re- moved from the exterior and the en- tire outside was painted. In the rail the new living room furniture arrived. After the Chems in the crowd put the plastic covering through exhaus- tive tests and were convinced that it was indestructible, the new furni- ture was accepted. Just before Christ- mas vacation the gas water heater, which has been on order for over a year, arrived and the days of rush- ing to beat your rooraimate to the shower before the hot water ran out were over. Scholastically 1947-48 was a ban- ner year. For the third successive time Tau Delta Phi was awarded the Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity Scholarship Cup and on Founder s Day was awarded permanent pos- session of this cup. The Trustee s Scholarship Cup, awarded to the living group with the highest schol- astic average during the past year, was also presented to Tau Delta Phi on Founder s Day. Founder s Day was also the occasion for honor and distinction for many Tau Delts. The Williams s Prize in Intramural De- bating was awarded to a team rep- resenting Tau Delta Phi and con- sisting of Richard Norris, Frank Brenner, and Jules Bluestone. George Adler was aw arded the Wil- bur Prize in Mathematics for the sophomore year. Freshman Honors were achieved by Dave Ettelman, Herb Schnall, and Al Land. Sopho- more Honors went to Bob Landy, George Adler, and Bernie Levinger. In addition to the Founder s Day honors, Tau Delts became members of several honorary fraternities dur- ing the year.

Mus- tard and Cheese also has a spot in Tau life. Myron Pomerantz, pres- ident of the club, portrayed tne Sarge in the Pirates of Penze- ance . The fall saw Henry Salm as secretary of M C, while Publicity Manager Norb Larky dropped his leaflets from an airplane advertising R.U.R. . The affair at the Park Central Hotel in New York City, where we all got our first chance at the new look, was the first event on the year s social calendar. The long- planned hay-ride that ended in Mon- acacy Park because of the rain, the dinner-dance at Hunter College, the stag parties -in particular, the beer party where the version of So you want to lead a band came into be- ings—and, of course, the magnificent house parties combined to make 1947-48 a huge social success. Theta Chi THETA CHI Fraternity, today has seventy-rive chapters scat- tered all over the country. Beta Sigma Chapter at Lehigh now boasts thirty resident brothers and pledges along with fourteen more men living in town. We are proud to have six sisters-in-law and one nephew -a future Theta Chi. The house itself was purchased in 1941 and today is a far cry from what it was then. Great renovations have taken place, especially since the end of the war. The dining room is today behind the lounge, which runs halfway across the house. This change was necessary to accommo- date the huge post-war growth which brought our pre-war number of twenty men up to thirty. Our chap- ter room has temporarily given way to a study room. All the downstairs rooms have been completely refurn- ished within the past year. The one great institution of Beta Sigma is our cook, Mary Lou Banks, who has been with us for the last ten years. The brothers regard her as a second mother and commonly agree that it was she who held the house together during the war. Our social calendar annually sup- plements houseparty with a pledge dance, a Christmas dance, and monthly dances or beer parties. Speaking of beer parties, we recently enlarged our bar, more than doubling its original size. Today it consists of two rooms done in a nautical setting with murals on the walls artistically done by Pete Leyendecker and Frank Schrenk. For additional details, con- sult Moravian. This year, we were fortunate enough to entertain Mr. Henry Scott and his wife at a dinner preceding his concert at Grace Hall. After Mr. 236 Top Row.

Two men from the house are in the band, one on the Brown and White, one on the Goblet, three in Mustard and Cheese, one in Pi Tau Sigma, and Russ Nelson is secre- tary in the Metallurgical Society. Several of the brothers are out for football, baseball, and wrestling. In interfraternity sports, a newly- organized program went into effect in which each member will represeftt the house in some sport. An annual fund of one hundred dollars is to be used to purchase uniforms and equip- ment each year. The football team, captained by Nick Derewianka, took Kluck, Nelson, TurnbuU, Tuttle, Ballenberger, Davies.

In basketball, a top-notch team led by Julius Tomaselli will take the Hoor. In other sports, volleyball will be headed by Harry Saunders, and our championship badminton team will be led by Dalton Brion. Last year s record-scoring bowling team will again be captained by Bud Hoyt, and an all-veteran softball team led by Bob Beck will again be repre- sented in city and university compe- tition. This year should be another record-breaking one for the teams of Theta Chi. Theta Delta Chi THE social calendar of Tneta Delta Chi, beginning witK tKe 1947 Spring Houseparty, was a most successful one under tne able supervision of Jim Knowles, witn aid from Bob Hundt. September found Don Draper and staff busy rusning and entertaining freshmen, who thor- oughly enjoyed baseball, football, and an evening of dancing with Cedar Crest girls at Flickinger s Barn. Probably the most noteworthy social event of 1947 was the celebra- tion of the Hundredth Anniversary of the fraternity. It was certainly pleasant to welcome Theta Delta alumni when they returned to the Lehigh campus for the celebration. Not only did the members plan successful merrymaking, but they also occupied important positions in campus activities. The nautical rep- resentatives are Ed White and Dick Bradshaw, who handle mainsails, jibs, and spinnakers in the Sailing Club. Dan Denham of Scabbard and Blade and the Pershing Rifles can solve military problems and handle the vice-presidency of the Junior Class. Bob Honeyman and Bob Smith are members of Alpha Phi Omega. Bridge talent is supplied by Don Draper and Chick Henzel- man of the Bridge Club. In the liter- ary societies, Frank Barclay is a member of the Brown and White. Bill Hosford and Jack Robinson help run the Epitome. Musical talent is vested in Bob Harter and Tom Bar- clay of the Glee Club. Walt Morton has put his ability to argue into good use in the Debating Club, and also was elected to Arcadia. In the sweat shop, W alt Schrader holds a la- crosse letter while John Clark is a 258 Top Row: F. T. Barclay. Honeyman, Hosford, Robin- son, Smith. Fuller, Scnrader. Harter. Third Row: Denham.

FresKman basketball is the interest of Jim Kennedy, wfiile Jim Nutting and Bog Hundt cut ice with the hockey squad. Jim Knowles and Jack Henschel filled positions on the junior varsity football team, and the house suppued two cheerleaders -Dick Fehnel and Tom Ullman. Theta Delta Chi was well repre- sented in such intramural sports as baseball, football, badminton, and basketball. The baseball team won second place — special praises going to Bob Stevans, Herb Fletchter, Pete Rossin, Don Draper, Jay Gretz, and Don vanRoden. The football team was quarterbacked by Dan Denham, and an exciting game was played with the rheta Delts of Lafayette. As for scholarly prowess, Theta Delta Chi is gaining steadily. Don Shackelford, Hal Fuller, and El Turner are as handy as they come around engineering problems. Don vanRoden won one of the Williams Prizes for English essay w riting. Beyond all doubt, Theta Delta Chi enjoyed the pleasant atmosphere of South Mountain. A major part of the grand success of the house was due to the efforts of the man at the helm of Nu Deuteron Chapter of Theta Delta Chi. President Jim Nut- ting, upon whose shoulders the gen- eral welfare and spirit of the house was placed, w as a fine example of natural leadership. Theta Kappa Phi THE coming graduation of eignt brothers caused tke TKeta Kaps to te especially active during rusk week last fall in tlieir searcn for qualified pledges to replace the graduates. Those donning the cap and gown are: Irving Bugg, John Conway, John Deisler, Bernard Mul- hearn, James O Connor, Ben Pow- ers, Malachi Redington, and Ray Walter. Brothers Al Bryniarslci, Frank Chiles, Jack Grosskettler, Fred Fuchs, Bill Kilroy, Walt Pierok, Don Parker, Joe Ricapito, and Paul Scalzi were added to the fraternity s mem- bership rolls during the past year. Although Theta Kappa Phi did not lead the university scholastically during the year, several Theta Kaps gained individual honors. John Con- way became a member of Pi Tau Sigma, honorary mechanical engin- eering society; Jacob Frantz, besides winning Freshman Honors, was in- itiated into Phi Eta Sigma, honorary freshman society; John Hurley be- came a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, professional business fraternity; W illiam Kilroy was initiated into Eta Kappa Nu, honorary electrical en- gineering society; John W alker was awarded Sophomore Honors and be- came a member of Alpha Kappa Psi; and Raymond W alter won Sophomore Honors. Brother Andrew McGuire is the proud father and all the other Theta Kaps are the proud uncles of pretty little Kathryn Mary McGuire, who was born in November, 1947. Brother Francis Carlin also helped Theta Kappa Phi ' s social prestige when he married Miss Adelaide Palmer of Atlantic City in January. Brothers McGuire and Carlin, both 260 i-fiH ' ' 1 k Top Row: Pierok, Walker. Colletti, Conway, Parker, Scaizi, Sullivan, Bryniarski.

As has always been the case throughout Theta Kappa Phi s exist- ence at Lehigh, houseparty week- ends during the year were well at- tended. We take pride in the fact that so many Theta Kappa Phi alumni return each year to take part in Lehigh s social events and are counting on our new graduates to help make these events even more successful in the years to come. As long as the alumni take an active interest in their Alma Mater, school spirit at Lehigh will remain at a high pitch. Theta Kappa Phi, now living modestly at 502 Ontario Street, is anxiously awaiting the day when the fraternity will move to the Lehigh campus. With the realization of its present building plans, Theta Kappa Phi will be able to boast of its new campus home in the 1949 Epitome. Because Theta Kaps share the com- mon belief that living in closer con- tact with each other would help greatly to achieve maximum unity among the students, we hope that the time is not too far distant when all the fraternities will be located on the Lehigh campus. 261 Theta Xi BECAUSE of tKe War, Tketa Xi was forced to abandon its house on tke BatK Pike in June, 1943. TKe few members who remained in scKooI lived at the Sigma Phi house on Delaware Avenue. Early in 1946, with the return of a few of the brothers from the armed services, the long process of reactiva- tion began. The problem seemed al- most hopeless, but the value of the efforts of these few men would not be denied. Informal meetings were held— the brothers looking forward to the time when the majority of the men would be back in school. In the fall of 1946, most of the men re- turned. Since Theta Xi was without a house, nnding one was the most important problem confronting the newly-returned brothers. Later than most fraternities to settle down into a permanent peacetime location, Theta Xi nevertheless managed to secure a house just across the street from Christmas-Saucon Hal 1— a boon to late-sleeping business stu- dents. Theta Xi opened its forty-third year at Lehigh by moving into its newly-acquired home on Packer Avenue in March, 1947. Originally a private home, the house w as con- verted to accommodate eighteen men. Mr. Andrew W. Litzenberger, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, was awarded the Theta Xi Distinguished Service Award for his work in reactivating Eta Chap- ter. Professor Carl E. Allen, Acting Dean of the Business College, and Professor J. Lynford Beaver, Elec- trical Engineering department, also helped immensely in the reactivation. In April, Theta Xi opened its post 262 Back Row: Brandt. outz. Bowman, Himtz. Pluglici, Collniann. bnowden. Third Row. Lomar. W ' yiie.

An alumni reunion, a gala nouseparty dance, ana a series or house dances rounded out the spring term. During the summer, eight brothers were hosts to Sigma Chi and Alpha Chi Rho for meals, and this group held a fine summer reunion for all actives. Another houseparty dance, a well-attended parents day and alumni reunion fol- lowing the Lafayette game, and a Christmas party Drought to a close the fall term ' s social activities. Theta Xi now has about forty members active in many student ac- tivities. Wally Driver, for mer man- aging editor of the Brown and White, vice-president of Pi Delta Epsilon, and a member of Cyanide, recently left school to become owner, editor, and publisher of the Heller- town Herald. Howard Kucher is president of Mustard and Cheese, a member of Alpha Kappa Psi, and one of the seven Theta Xi ' s in the Glee Club. Spence Collmann is student director of the Band, on the Brown and White staff, secretary- treasurer of Tone, and a member of the Glee Club. Other Theta Xi s are members of Tau Beta Pi, Scabbard and Blade, Tone Society, and six members are in the Band. In addi- tion, Theta Xi is represented on the football, baseball, wrestling, hockey, track, and rifle teams. The fraternity also participated in the intramural sports program. jr ■ fc Sf k ' irl l -«r- DORMITORIES WITH a total of twenty -five living groups represented in tlie dormitory system, a new feeling of self-sufficiency and inde- pendence swept over all men in tne dormitories. TKe university nad es- tablisKed Union, Kirk, Paul, and Beaver Houses in town as temporary dorms. On tne campus two master- pieces of arcriitecture in tne form of tne ever-familiar quonset nut, were put up to nouse men. Tkese two structures are located oenind the Sigma Nu nouse. A new dormitoiy, Dravo House, is being added to tne Drinker-Richards House system. This dormitory, which is in Collegiate Gothic style as its two predecessors are, will be able to house two hun- dred and forty men and should be ready for occupancy in September, 1948. Scholastically, the dormitory men mianaged to keep a high average, something which they have been justly proud of. However, keeping a high scholastic average did not in anyway deter the men from keeping up with a social schedule which was beyond compare with any in past years. Almost every section started off each semester with a party. The Pelican, Colonnade, Trainer s, Shankweiler s, and the dorms themselves were the most pop- ular places for these gatherings . Fall Housepartv ' , as usual, provided the biggest amount of activity ' for all concerned. The third and fourth floors of Richards and Drinker House, as well as Union House in town, were cleared of their male oc- cupants and thrown open for the dates of the dorm men; dates who came from all corners of the United States. Parties on Friday night pre- pared everyone for a gala time at the I. F. Ball. Saturday afternoon found the men and their dates shiver- ing out a Lehigh win over a not-too- stalwart Kings Point eleven. In the evening, groups of dorm men and their dates could be found at Train- er s or the Colonnade preparing for the I. D. C. Dance in Grace Hall. Ken Keeley s orchestra supplied the music and the fact that it was rain- ing completed the whole affair. Fol- lowing the dance, parties could be found going full blast into the wee hours of the morning. Athletics have played a major part in the lives of all dorm men. Cups were awarded to the sections win- ning house as well as over-all dorm championships. Thus, a keen compe- tition was set up, which by all indi- cations should prove to be one of the best on campus. The year 1947 has been a bounti- ful one for the dormitories and the prospects are good for an even better year during 1948. 265 Richards House— 1 RICHARDS HOUSE SEC- TION 1 was piloted tKrougK- out tKe past semester by that versatile man-about-tKe-campus, Irv Huber. Irv, wKo is a member or Ar- cadia, ODK, and head of the Glee Club, has lead Richards 1 through a year which has been most enjoy- able, socially, athletically and schol- astically. Socially, the section s activities for the fall semester were culminated in a section banquet held at Ross Com- mon Manor on December 5rd. An- other major social event or the year occurred during houseparty week- end when the section participated in a picnic and a hay-ride. Scholastically, the section placed 16th among the living groups for the spring semester reports. Dick Hart was conspicuous in his sharing of the Wilbur Scholarship Prize when he tied for highest ranking sophomore at Lehigh. In the field of sports. Section 1 won the spring volleyball tourna- ment for Richards House. In other sports, the section, although not win- ning first place, gave the winners some very trying moments. Outstand- ing athletic performer for the group was Jim Vogelsong. Since Section 1 is not losing many men through the channels of gradu- ation, we are looking forward to an even brighter year of activities dur- ing 1948. Top Row: R.

SECTION 2A, under the leader- ship of President Al Sule, had a very successful year. The foot- ball team, captained r)y Pount Kester, placed third in Richards House competition. The team won its first three games, Ijut over-confidence took its toll, and when the season was finished, we found ourselves in a three-way tie for first place. After losing our playoff game 9-0, we also lost the championship cup which we had held for the last two years. Don- aid Chew, AI SertI, Hank Wether- hold, and Hank Kehrii were the team s outstanding players. The bas- ketDall team looked forward to a very successful season. Dick Ritter, Dea- con Dunn, and Paul Henritzy led the team to a 31-25 victory in the season s opener. 2A also had the distinction of having John Sansone as a represent- ative of the dormitory on the Arcadia Council. John s idea of a public ad- dress system, something new in Le- high election history, proved to be a great success. It attracted attention and also brought iri the votes. A beer party was held in late Oc- tober at Volpe ' s Restaurant in AI- lentown. Although it was a stag affair, we can safely say that it was a really fine evening. Popular elections brought about the following results: quietest, AI Kester; biggest spendthrift and dain- tiest. Chuck Harris; most intelli- gent, Frank Pesci; most popular restaurant, Lamberton Hall; and woman-hater, Walt Kaufmann. Richards House— 2A Richards House— 2B THE year 1947 saw Section 2B of RicKards House Dusily tak- ing part in a wealtK of activities, besides keeping up its scnolastic rat- ing in the university. Taking part in all of the intramural sports events, the men of Section 2B, under Jerry Jacob- sen, the sports manager, competed with other sections in football, soft- ball, basketball, badminton, and bowling, and fared well in all of them. The houseparty weekends were two of the big events of the year around 2B. All books were put aside for these few days. Tuxedoes were brought out of mothballs, and every- one enjoyed the merriment of the weekend. At the beginning of each semes- ter, the section had its usual get-to- gether. At the start of the fall semes- ter a dinner was held at Trainer s Restaurant, where the new men in the section had the opportunity to get better acquainted with the oth- ers. The section officers, president, George Vogt, and secretary-treas- urer, Chester Czepyha were also in- troduced at this occasion. With all of their outside activi- ties these men did not neglect their books and studies. The section had the third highest scholastic average among all the living groups of the university with a 2.76 average for the spring semester. Individual schol- astic honors were attained by Vogt, Jacobsen, Kovacs, and Rittmann. Top How: Vath, Yaple, Rick, Vondersmitn, Czepyha, Snyder. Third Row.

The mounting nst of outstanding telephone bills caused our treasurer. Pop Coldren, to seri- ously consider transferring the phone to his own room to ease the burden of keeping track of out-of-town calls. Although our intramural teams were not outstanding, we had our share of athletes with a varsity wrest- ler, Joe Burns, leading the way. Our ventures in bowling showed keen competition between Layton Butts, Glock, Grundmann, Kladivko, Coldren. Bulls, John- son, Ferguson, Dudrear, Ashley. Front Roiu; Vaida, Macdonald, Ehlers, Allen, Horner, VVeller. our section president, and various other aspiring bowlers. Despite the rain during house- party weekend, we managed to make quite a success of our picnic. The Windish Hall was the scene of our last beer party — a huge success if judged by the amount of beer con- sumed. Arriving here at 5 A. M. one day last semester from a late show , Milt Ashley was surprised to find his bed and room burned out. The alarm had rung out at 4 A. M. and the excitement was over by 4 : 50, al- though we had the odor of burned mattresses with us for weeks. Although once in a while we had our odd moments, we really enjoyed the fellowship which existed here in Richards 3A. Richards House— 3A Richards House— 3B WHICH is more important in a living group -scKoIarsKip, athletics, or social life? The men in Richards 3B seem to think that a combination of the three is the aim of a good Lehigh man and have proved their point with success in all three fields. Under the direction of President Hank Condit, Secretary-Treasurer Wally Mayer, Athletic Chairman Chet Wesolowski, Scholastic Chair- man Dave Evans, and Sophomore Representative Will Ronci, Section 3B is near the top in all three de- partments. For the last four semes- ters, the section has been scholas- tically among the first ten of all hv- ing groups. The fellows are proud of this accomphshment and are striv- ing to continue the good work. The Section is also proud of its athletic abinty and its members conscientiousness about participat- ing in intramural sports. SB s ath- letic teams are consistent winners in all sports. During the 1947 spring semester, the section took the soft- ball championship and, in the fall of 1947, the football honors of Rich- ards House. The section is well rep- resented in the other pliases of in- tramural athletics. Top Rou ' .- Hastey. Rak. Abbot. Haldeman, Blossom, Fulleylove. Trunipoldl, Vosseller. Conrad, Cooper.

THE fall of 1947 witnessed tKe best intramural footDall team yet produced Ly -lA. In a game with Ricnards 5B, tne team scored a toucndown for the first time in many semesters, but it took the passing of William Walker and the receiving of Jack Gedney, former high school football star, to produce a score. The finishing touches in the mili- tary education of 4A s three soldiers of fortune — Nelson Behler, Wolfram Abicht, and Edmund Kaminsky — were applied during the summer when the trio attended ROTC sum- mer camp.

The hardest worker during the rail semester was W illiam Bencker, who concentrated all of his efforts on re- pairing his automobile. A familiar sight was Henry Pick-a-card W hissen plodding down the hall with a deck in his hands. The most enterprising residents of the section were Dikran Yazujian, Lehigh s famed weaver of fine rugs, and David Ford, ex-sergeant-major of the British army, who sold highly decorated beer mugs. A true believer in the powers of a thinking cap was W illiam Eagleson, who was seldom seen without his baseball cap on which was sewn a naval air gun- ner s insignia.

Basket- ball started slow, but picked up as it went along. Bob Van de Boe and Dick Ojserkis were promising intra- mural wrestlers. Gould, Smith, Joyce, Shymon, Hacik, Snyder, Stanko, Van de Boe, Stockman, and Ojserkis each participated in three sports.

Invariably either Derr or Shrack will be tying up the phone with an extended con- versation with his one and only. The rest of the gang, will probably be found hard at work. No one should get the idea that 5A is devoid of that old college spirit. Last winter the section basketball team easily made off with the dormi- tory championship. Most SA men are engaged in extra-curricular ac- tivities. To name only a few, Polstein is editor of the Goblet; Mertz is president of the Debate Club; Marantz is th pride of the basket- ball team; and Matthes, Wareck, and Koran are all valuable assets to Lehigh s famous wrestling team. Section social affairs have not been neglected during the past year. Last spring there was the section picnic at the Lehigh County Park. During the fall houseparty weekend a party was held at Jim Becker s farm. It need hardly be added that everyone had a memorable time. Just before Christmas the boys staged a real blowout in honor of the two prospective bridegrooms. Gene Kleinwaks and ' Whitey Kotan- chik.

THE newcomers to the section, Ted Barbato, Bill Wall, Tom Pooley, Berry Powers, Goray Rubel, Larry Hess, Frank Leonard, and Pete Pappas, were replacements for tKose who moved on after gradu- ation. The spring and fall semesters were KigKligKted by tbe Kouseparties, wKile tbe summer balf-semester found everyone too busy to devote tbeir attention to anything but tbe books. There was the famous bridge contest with the Hewit brothers pitted against Red Bonham and Bert Blewitt, their natural rivals. A seven no-trump hand had to take a ' iWTh mm 7 ' mf ' THSr r liSKTa m back seat for the houseparty activi- ties. Our section was especially favored when Mr. and Mrs. Lehigh were appointed as our chaperones for the fall event, and the Houseparty Queen, Miss Nancy Fitch, was escorted by none other than Frank George Hewit. Don Werley, still at the helm of the section, continued to guide it over the calm sea of the fall semester. Gordy ' Leyland took the irrevoc- able step in June and left the ranks of the bachelors. The assets of the sec- tion were considerably augmented when John Faust popped up with a car. The job of acting as balance wheel for the entire section fell to that calm, cool, and collected gentle- man from Palmerton, Dick Stemler. Drinker House— 3B Drinker House — 4 D RINKER HOUSE Section 4 ranked tKis year as one of tKe most populated sections in the university witn 45 members. Rob- ert Pnillips, former president of tne Interdormitory Council, served as president of tne section. Scotty Eisele was vice-president, and Ed Rosenbaum, treasurer. With this triumvirate, the section managed to pay its various bills and assessments. Graduating seniors of February, 1948, were Joe Mulherin, Howard Abelow, and Bob Phillips. Howie, with at least seven semesters to his credit, lived longer in Drinker 4 than any other man. The section was well represented in campus activities by Bob Saydah, member of the new Arcadia Coun- cil. John Tallmadge played an im- portant part in Scabbard and Blade Top How: Creidenberg. R.

Beautiful girls from all over eastern United States attested to tlie popularity and personality of the young gentlemen of Section A. Individual members of tne section added new laurels to an already brilliant galaxy of individual achievements. Fred Kluge played in every game at right guard for the varsity football team. In the held of dramatics, Howard Kucher, Jim Pal- mer, and John Plumb played im- portant roles in Mustard and Cheese s fall production, RUR . Paul Schwab and Martin Smith were also associated with the pro- duction, giving RUR a distinct Taylor A Havor. Another talented Taylor A artist, Carl Kendziora, produced and announced the popu- lar Jazz Concert program over Bethlehem ' s WGPA. Paul Schwab, John Plumb, and Howard Kucher were also heard over WGPA dur- ing the semester on various programs. Perhaps Section A s most talented resident is Dave Koenitzer, whose paintings have been admired at sev- eral art exhibits during the past year. Renn Zaphiropoulous, Section A s personality kid and a member of the faculty, is also an artist of no mean ability. One of his sketches has been bought by the university for an un- announced sum.

THE scKooI year 1947-1948 Kas inaeea been a gala one for sec- tion B. — socially, atnletically, ana scnolastically. Tne academic year started witn the elections or Charles Whitehead, president; Har- old Schupsky, treasurer; Robert BucKwalter, athletic manager; Rich- ard BucKwalter, sophomore represen- tative; and Joseph Plonko, scholastic chairman. Charles Whitehead was later elected to the presidency of Taylor House. The outstanding social events of the year were two houseparties and a highly successful section stag party at the Pelican in the early part of April. During Fall Houseparty Weekend, Section B held its own Saturday night party and dance. Athletics proved to he another strong point of the Section. This past rail, the Interdormitory Council awarded to Section B the Inter- dormitory football trophy for the 1947 championship. Among those who received varsity letters were Charles Whitehead, swimming; Harry Dowling, lacrosse; Grant Kresge, football; and Ralph Fritz, basketball. Section B also claimed rive members of the freshman foot- ball team who took an active part in defeating a favored Lafayette team in a game that will be remem- bered as one of the best ever played in Taylor Stadium. Taylor Hall— Sec B Taylor Hall— Sec. C THE section has ranked scholas- tically among tne first ten living groups since Taylor Hall s re- opening in February, 1946. Tne C- men, coacnea Ly varsity wrestler Jonn Morgan, won tne Taylor-Price seven man toucn lootDall cnampion- snip. Beer parties, picnics, banquets, and a nouseparty reception were on tne section s social program for tne year. The two men who were elected to Arcadia with the highest number of votes of all the candidates — Charles Boig and Victor Frager — were both from Taylor C. Charlie moved up from his post as secretary of the I.D.C. to president of Arcadia. He was also on the Arcadia Constitu- tion Revision Committee. Vic was a former business manager of the Goblet.

Bernie Kurtin, secretary-treasurer of the Section, belonged to Pi Delta Epsilon and was vice-chairman of the campus AVC chapter. ROTC Cadet Lieutenant Colonel Dick Miller was also executive officer of the Pershing Rifles. The Taylor Hall general store and gossip lounge was entrepreneured by the ubiquitous Charlie Boig and Dick Roth. Dick was a member of Eta Kappa Nu, Pi Mu Epsilon, and the Army Ordnance Association.

IN the Spring Semester of 1947, Taylor D represented the entire student body with an overall aver- age that was 0.1 below the univer- sity average. Scholars such as Ed McMichael, who was pledged to Phi Beta Kappa last Decemoer; Clif Freund, Lou Herczeg, Harry Kraatz, Bod Loomis, John Michel, and Bruce Owen increased the sec- tion average with their exceptional scholastic standing and enabled Taylor D to become a university standard. The activities and achievements or Taylor D men in varsity, junior varsity, freshman, and intramural sports cannot be overlooked. In the section are such varsity lettermen as Ed Erikson, eastern intercollegiate wrestling champion in the 165 lb. class; Dick Kelsey, 136 pounds of wrestling prowess known as Pin em in a minute Kelsey and also intramural champion in the 25-yard free style swim; Clif Freund, stellar fullback on Lehigh s up-and-coming varsity eleven; and Tom Cashman, outstanding forward with the hockey team. Other notables are John Michel and Stan Davis, members of the junior varsity football squad; Tom Brennan, Joe Valeriano, and Art Ferris who performed excellently with the freshman footballers in their past season; and Jack Yanarick, freshman soccer player. Taylor Hall—Sec. D Taylor Hall— Sec. E IN 1947, we of Section E lost some of our most prized nonors but gained otners in what migrit Le termed a very active period in tne nis- lOry of our unit. Tnougn we won tne interdorm basketball, bowling, and Softball championships during the year, a string of thirty-tvs ' o consecu- tive victories in intramural contests, started in October, 1946, was brought to a close in the fall. Among athletic achievements, we placed two men on each of the freshman basKet- ball and football teams, and John Bowley and riis running mates on the cross-country team, and claimed Ray Stauffer, captain of the 1948 tennis team. We still remained in the upper fifth of the school scholastically, thanks to the efforts of Donald Jacobsen, our scholastic chairman, but we lost our leadership among living groups. Coincident with our loss, however, was the acquisition of the doubtful distinction of being placed on dormitory probation by Dean Congdon for the continuous hazing of a senior whom we called Albert. One section desire is to get shat- terproof windows before the seasons of spring baseball and autumn horse- chestnuts roll around again.

' Price Hall Beaver House ANOTHER of LeKigK ' s famous (or snoula we say infamous) temporary dorms is Beaver House, located, not on tne breast of old South Mountain, out over tne safe of the old First National Bank Trust Company. Perhaps the strangest of the strange is old Dadsy Love, father emeritus of Beaver House. Dadsy is at his Lest when he is tehind the wheel of his slicK 41 Chevy. As of- ficial patron and father to the Beav- ers, Dadsy is always helping the boys out. We have in our president Richard Mac Macaulay the missing linK. Seen about Beaver halls, avoiding Doug and Buhley, who both insist Mac is the laziest thing on two feet, Mac has his moments over the chessboard, as he delays Herb s checkmates and entertains the other highbrows of the 4th floor. In sports, we must not forget to include Herb Schiff and Curt Nor- ton that bearer of the mumps. These two have nothing more to do than to spend the evening arguing the merits and demerits of the Athletics and the Giants. Did you ever hear of the Brook- lyn Giants?

ONCE upon a time in the smoKe-rillea Cnristmas City or Betnlenem, an insane architect and an evil contractor con- spired against the world to build the imposing edifice at 525 Main street. It is rumored that this build- ing preceded Ye Olde Sun Inn by about two glacial periods. But has this pagoda-hke structure been abandoned and destroyed by the ravages of time and civic-minded groups? No. Its five and one-half floors now house a great variety of endeavor topped by the Lehigh liv- ing group Known as Kirk House. W ' hat other living group can make the following claims?

OUR house nas been situated on Delaware Avenue since 1908, and is one of tKe old- est living groups or tne university. The Hall is a fraternity for young men preparing for the ministry of the Episcopal Church, who receive at the university a liberal arts edu- cation as preparation for three years of theological seminary. We receive, too, as part of the Leonard Hall training, experience in one of four missions located in the Bethlehem- Allentown area. In 1946, to help ease the housing situation, some non-pre-theological students were invited to share the house. They were Don Denniston, our faculty member; Van Claxton, who graduates this year; Bill Bied- ler, the boy from the deep-south of Maryland; Ed Madenford, Potts- ville s chamber of commerce; Wes Haig, smiling lad of Lancaster; Bob Smith, the small package from the flatlands of Jersey; and Carson Bar- tholomew and his lovely wife, Irene, who live in the apartment. This group has added much to the life of the Hall. Jim Dennison is our first pre- theolog to graduate since the war; Lee Richards, house president; Dave Sweet and Frank Tatem will all fol- low him in June. The house will seem strange without these men, but T. C. Lee and Don Belsheim along with Ken Spoor will nil the empty gaps, and help keep our freshmen, Jim Gill and Bob Shackles, in line. Leonard Hall Paul House WE wKo found Paul House a refuge in this strange city now pay tribute to ner paste- Doara walls ana crackea radiators. There are only a few of us here at Third and New Streets and we are all freshmen. We have lost several men to fraternities so that now Paul House, which is the smallest dorm- itory annex, is quite under-manned. A typical day in Paul House starts at about rive o clock A. M. when the trolleys start to run. From that time on we wake up every ten minutes until eight o clock when we arise for our first class. Probably the most grueling part of our day is when we wash our hands and faces before breakfast. Bethlehem Steel has no idea how much profit goes out of those smoke stacks. In fact, rumor has it that Mrs. Hester Veanus, our capable house maid, is making a fortune on the gray market. Unlike most town dormitories, we are practically on the campus. This great advantage makes it possible for us to waste fifteen minutes each morning waiting for a coal train to back up to get a start to go forward. The student at Paul House is probably an average Lehigh student. Efforts have been made to correct this situation, but the influence of South Mountain is far too great.

IF a total stranger were to come to tne LehigK campus at eigKt o clock in tne miorning on some December day in 1947 and see a young man witK a harassed look about nim, the kind of look one might expect to see on the race of person who has spent the night in a cold storage locker, the stranger would naturally wonder just where the aforementioned youth had spent the night. Naturally, to those of us with a more intimate acquaintance with the temporary dormitories nestled on the site of the old tennis courts, this would he no mystery at all. Tempo 2 is a newcomer to the group of Le- high dormitories. Since the men of Tempo 2 are freshmen, they have not gained the recognition and fame of other dormitories as yet, but time will prove the worth of these men who started their careers at Lehigh in this quonset hut. The men of Tempo 2 have dis- tinguished themselves on the fresh- man football team, the hockey team, and in intramural touch-football Tempo 2 won a league champion- ship. The social activities of our group have been wide and varied. Many of our men have been pledged to fraternities; others have moved to more comfortable quarters. None of us shall forget the congenial gather- ings on Saturday nights at Gilmore ' s and the Old Mill. Tempo 2 Tempo 3 HIDDEN from tKe view of the passing parade ty tKe im- posing edifice of Sigma Nu stands Temporary Dormitory Three, Tempo 3 for brevity. No architect s masterpiece is this our home, but a quonset like dweOing harboring twenty-three hardy Lehigh students. Forty noses were counted at our first meeting, but since that time our num- ber has been depleted by the de- parture of less rugged individuals who have moved to other quarters. We have had our annoyances such as leaky roofs, lack of heat, and water collecting in the halls after the showers were used. With great perseverance we have borne our trials, and now we emerge trium- phant, smiling and unified. Even with all these inconveniences. Tem- po 5 has a number of individuals who rank high in their chosen studies. One would have to experience these annoyances to really appreciate the work of our shining stars. Here we live, snubbed by the frats, and divorced by the dorms. Do we care? The next time you see a square-jawed, clear-eyed, aggres- sive fellow ask him. That s the type of man we have living here. Men who thumb their noses at all fratern- ities and dormitories and exist inde- pendent of all. Pass in review then you pioneers! History awaits to record your glor- ious deeds.

The relative suc- cess of each objective can be evidenc- ed in the activities and policies of Town Council during the school year ' 47- ' 48. A full program of intra-mural ath- letics was provided, and increased participation in this extra-curricular activity brought many Town men to- gether in athletic competition. Touch- football, baslcetball, softball and bad- minton, were the leading intra-mural sports in which Town men partici- pated. The Leopards , a Town touch-football team boasted a season in which they were undefeated. The endeavors of Town Council to encourage high scholastic achieve- ment and for the benefit of the Town Group as a whole were greatly ex- panded. The Town Corner , lo- cated on the third floor of Packard Laboratory, was developed into a place where Town men could con- A Town Council study session in Packard Lab.

The ever present study-file, and upper class- men contributed to higk scholastic acnievement, in conjunction with other projects, such as the Town Crier ' , for the benent of the Town Group as a whole. The officers of Town Council ten- dered their resignations at the intro- ductory meeting of the 47 fall semes- ter to enable the Town Living Group, with all its new members , to have an effective voice in selection of their of- ficers. Roy Ditterline, ' 49, was chosen as president; Charles Jensen, 49, vice-president; Eugene High, 48, secretary; and Robert Courtney, 49, treasurer. Men relinquishing their posts after serving two semesters were Eugene Sowers, ' 48, president; Richard Stevick, 48, vice-president; George Horneck, 49, secretary; and Donald Love, 49, treasurer. Town Council contributed actively in the affairs of the Student Body of Lehigh by delegating their president to attend the peace ' conferences be- tween Lehigh and Muhlenberg, and Lehigh and Lafayette prior to the re- spective football frays. The Town Group w as also represented at the dinner-meeting of the Student Gov- ernment leaders of the Lehigh Valley Colleges which included Lehigh, Muhlenberg, Moravian and Lafa- yette. 294 ■«% ' fV. ] JK, henever two Americans get together they always form an or- ganization and elect officers. ANON. LEHIGH ' S organizations range from an unsnaven little Dana of Trotskyites wno meet once a year and act every day to tne Ger- man CIuD wriicri meets twice a montK and acts once eack year. Between tne two extremes lie a multitude of sckolarly and not-so- scholarly cIuds and societies as varied in tKeir interests as are tKose of the LeKigfi student. The Lehigh man at work on his Eco 15 or M.E. 123 is little Letter than a cog in the educational ma- chine. His hopes, his aspirations, his personality have been submerged in his particular held of study. There is small opportunity for him to assert his enthusiasm for bridge or basket- ball at a drafting board. After school hours, however the great personality leveler, study, is left behind and the Lehigh man may al- locate his time to as many clubs as his interests indicate and his leisure hours permit. The aspiring administrator may gain a practical knowledge of gov- ernment in Arcadia, or the Intrafra- ternity, Interdormitory, or Town Councils. For the Maurice Evans of 1Q68 there is Mustard and Cheese, campus dramatic club. Hard drinkers and frustrated journalists are equally acceptable to the Brown and White, Epitome, and Goblet, hard drinkers being especially welcome to the Goblet which has proven by its first few issues that it has accommodated the majority of the frustrated journ- alists. The Glee club, Band, and Tone society offer a haven for the musically inclined at Lehigh. The Bridge, Ski, Camera, Flying and Sailing clubs are open to those with congenial interests. Honorary societies in every field of scholastic endeavor claim the up- per percentages of Freshman, Sopho- more, Junior and Senior classes. Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, and Omi- cron Delta Kappa are but a few of the national honorary scholastic or- ganizations on campus. Lehigh organizations have been jarred from their monasterial seclu- sion by the founding of the Dame ' s club, composed of wives of Lehigh students. The Women ' s club, an ac- tive social group bands together the wives of University faculty members. Through the associations of men with kindred interests, the ground- work is laid for life long friendships and the similar associations into which each man must fit himself upon his graduation into the busi- ness world. Nor do we feel that the organiza- tions are a less intrinsic part of col- lege life than examinations, slide rules, and demand curves; for the true qualities of leadership are more often developed on the debating platforms, in the club smokers or in the composing room of a publication, than in the crowded lecture audi- toriums and classrooms. 299 Arcadia THE New Arcadia of LeKigK University nas without a doubt emerged as a truly outstanding organization on the Brown and White campus during the past aca- demic year. Many a semester has gone by since the student governing body on South Mountain has been as completely democratic in its for- mation and as thoroughly active in its work as has this latest group of undergraduate representatives. Operating under a new constitu- tion, the student body turned out in the early part of October, 1947, to cast some two thousand votes in the process of electing the nfteen Arcadia men to represent them on the student council. At installation ceremonies the group chosen elected their own officers, with Charles Boig, president. Bruno DePaoli, vice-president, Va- lerio Hunt, secretary, and Gilpin Jef- feris, treasurer. Perhaps the most constructive as well as the most publicized work of the New Arcadia has been the Faculty Evaluation Program, carried out during the last veek of the Fall semester. More than twenty thou- sand individual appraisal forms were printed, distributed, and collected from each section of every course taught in the University. With co- operation from the student body and the faculty as well, the program was smoothly conducted and well re- ceived. Professor Diamond says a vord.

Aware of the need for low-cost weekena entertainment for Lenigh men, Arcadia sponsored informal dances following nome wrestling meets during the Spring semester. The upper floor of Grace Hall was secured, and a juke box provided for dancing. The admission charge was negligible, and several hours of fun and relaxation were made avaihible at cost for the student body. For those students who daily make use of Drown Hall during their free hours, a noticeable improvement in the facilities of the ancient building was evident. Under the guidance of the Drown Hall House Committee, the existing recreational equipment was repaired and maintained in good order, and additional items were pur- chased. A list of other work carried on dur- ing the year might well include the reorganization of University policy in awarding varsit y athletic letters, and a revision of seating plans for home- coming Lafayette football games, to mention only two. The 1947-1948 Arcadia has thus set what it hopes is a precedent for its successors ... a policy of initiative, leadership, and hard work. Under the new and progressive constitution, the scope of its activities has been en- larged, and its membership made truly representative of the undergrad- uate body of Lehigh. 301 Interdormitory Council THE Interdormitory Council is the governing body of the dor- mitory groups. It is composed of the presidents of the dormitory sec- tions, and at the present time includes representatives from six temporary dormitories besides those of the per- manent units. The purpose of the Council is to act in behalf of all dor- mitory men and to prescribe uniform methods of conducting section af- fairs. Early in the fall cups and plaques were awarded to the dormitory sec- tions who had won championships in the intramural athletic contests dur- ing the previous year. The awards had been out of circulation since the war interrupted normal functioning of the dorms. In October the Council held a smoker for all dormitory men in Grace Hall. Movies were shown and an opportunity was made available for a discussion of problems common to all dorm men. In the second semester dorm men again got togeth- er at the Council-sponsored beer party. Houseparty activities are always an important aspect of the IDC s work. During the Fall Houseparty a breakfast was held Saturday morn- ing and the regular IDC Dance on Saturday evening. Ken Keely pro- vided the music for the latter affair. A great part of the credit for the suc- cess of these ventures goes to Social Chairman Robert Saydah. IDC broadened its activity at Spring Houseparty Breakfast Officers Nichols. Meriz, D ' OIier. Butts 302 Top Row: Phillips, Peiffer, Richards, Plonko, Pociluy- ko. Astringer, WiUiams.

Christmas time wnen it conducted a clothing drive among students and faculty members with the proceeds going to the needy people of Bethle- hem. A perennial problem facing IDC is how to effect an improvement of conditions at Lamberton Hall. After a special committee completed its report on the subject, the Council felt confident that progress could be made on this subject. A real solution to this question remains one of the prime goals of the Council. Another step the IDC undertook this year was the standardization of financial procedures among the dor- mitory sections. This measure is in line with the Councils continual ef- fort to unify dormitory operations. In the fall of 1948, the new dormi- tory now under construction will be ready for occupancy. When it is put in use, the dormitories will house close to 1000 men. The successful governing of this large group offers a challenge to the Interdormitory Coun- cil. Backed by the experience of the years and stimulated by the progress it has made this year, the Council is ready to assume any new responsibil- ities that come its way. Its constant aim is to further the cause of student self-government. 303 Interfraternity Council O LDEST of tKe living-group organizations on campus is the Interfraternity Council, wKicK Kas grown from its beginning in May 1919 to its present memr)er- sKip of twenty-nine fraternities. Tne constitution of tne council states its purpose as follows: . . . To promote a more intimate frienasnip between tbe various fraternities ana the stu- dent body, to develop closer relation- ships among the fraternities at Le- high by means of interfraternity ath- letic affairs, to lend a wider support to all University functions and to at- tempt to further promote the welfare of the University in general. But today ' s college men think of more than themselves, and the Inter- fraternity Council also realizes that it is a part of the community in which it exists. To this end the council con- ducted a Christmas party for children from the Wiley House orphanage in Bethlehem at which the children were entertained by magician Dick Fuehrer, sang songs, ate their fill of ice cream and were each given a pres- ent by Jim Duff, president of the council, who played Santa Claus for the evening. It sent bundles of Christmas cards to children in Eng- land, and in order to help speed Eu- ropean recovery from the w ar, the Officers Lawler, Snyder, Carlton, Stanton Jim Duff presents the Houseparty Queen cup to Nancy FitcK as escort beams. 304 Top Row: Eisinger, Smith, Ainslie, Astrove, Hahn, Simon, Lyons, Fornoff, Kraft, Olwine, Musser, Seim, Holben, McGee.

This year s Interrraternity Ball fea- tured the mus ic of Buddy Rich and Skitch Henderson, two nne musicians who helped to make House Party weekend a success. And along with house party the council conducted a House Party Queen Contest , using rive men from the varsity football team as judges. The first prize was awarded to Miss Nancy Fitch of Plainfield, N. J., date of Frank Hewitt. With a sharp eye to the future the council is now making extensive plans and rushing rules in prepara- tion for the new Freshman dormitory regulations which will go into effect in the fall of 1949. This spring it will publish an elaborate handbook for rushing which will include pictures or all the houses plus a summary of the rushing rules and other information designed to make the incoming fresh- man familiar with Lehigh and the fraternity system. And next rail, in line with Dean Congden s plan to imp rove fraternity scholarship, the council will put into effect a rule which will require all fraternity pledges to present a 1.75 non-cumu- lative average before initiation. 505 Arcadia Revision Committee THE Arcadia Constitution Re- vision Committee perrormea an historic task on tKe LeKign campus in 1947. The responsibiUty or this committee consisted in draft- ing a completely revised constitution for the student body. When the nnal plan was submitted to a referendum of the student body, it was approved by a vote of 1383 to 65 on October 4, 1947. Significant innovations in student government at Lehigh were incorp- orated in the new system. Represen- tatives to Arcadia were no longer to be appointed by honorary societies nor chosen from within classes or living groups. Instead, the direct, popular selection of all responsible student government officials was in- stituted. Campus-w ide, all-day, sec- ret balloting was provided for both Arcadia and class elections. Under the new system Arcadia members are chosen by use of the Hare system of Proportional Repre- sentation, while class officers are selected by majority preferential vot- ing. At the first special Arcadia elec- tion held two weeks after the adop- tion of the new constitution, the un- precedented number of 2034 stu- dents cast ballots. Among other features of the new constitution are provisions for in- creased authority for student govern- ment; for maximum popular control, in addition to Proportional Repre- sentation, by means of petition, in- itiative, referendum, and recall; and for retention of the prevailing com- mittee system of Arcadia.

This orientation is carried out in a large measure through the Freshmen Regulations ' which are enforced hy Cyanide. A few of the regulations set down by Cyanide for the freshmen include: wearing of dinks, attendance at athletic contests and pep rallies, building the bonfire for the Lafayette pep rally, and marching in the pajama parade. To help in the orientation pro- gram, Cyanide sponsored two fresh- men smokers during the fall semester. One during the last evening of Fresh- men Week was designed to introduce Chaplain Bean (Advisor), Senkowski, Huher, Butts, Love. the frosh to the University cheers and songs. The second, before the Lafay- ette game, was to organize the col- lecting of wood and burnable mate- rial for the bonhre. A plan to white- wash a large sign, Beat Lafayette, on the side of old South Mountain just before the Lafayette game was also developed. In addition an open forum and question period for the freshmen was held after the Fresh- man Week activities to give the fresh- men an opportunity to criticize the activities so that future classes enter- ing the university might benefit by their experience. The officers of the society during the year were Irvin L. Huber, presi- dent; George B. Horneck, vice-presi- dent; Jack C. Mellinger, secretary; and Donald N. Love, treasurer. Cyanide 507 Phi Beta Kappa PHI BETA KAPPA was founded at Williain ana Mary College in WilliamsDurg, Vir- ginia, in 1776, and is tKus tke oldest or all Greek letter fraternities. It was originally a social and literary society, but relatively early developed into an honorary fraternity wnicn gives rec- ognition to undergraduate students wno nave excelled in fields ordinarily associated witK an Arts College. TKe national organization. The United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, was established in 1883, and today there are chapters at 141 institutions throughout the country. The Beta Chapter of Pennsylvania was installed at Lehigh in April, 1887, through the efforts of several members of the faculty who them- selves belonged to the Society and felt the need for such an organization on the Lehigh campus. Membership is offered each year to outstanding seniors in the three colleges who have shown unusual ex- cellence in non-technical subjects during their undergraduate careers. Two elections have been held since the announcement made in the 1 Q47 Epitome, and the following seniors have become members of the society : William L. Brune, Louis M. Dome- ratzky, Robert R. Ferguson, Jr., Frank H. Marsh, Jr., Richard J. Mikovsky, Edwin McMichael, Sher- man G. Sass, and Alan M. Shapiro. The first five were selected in May, 1947, and the last three in Decem- ber, 1947. At the dinners given in honor of the initiates. Professor Earl L. Crum spoke on the topic, The Reopening of Heidelberg University, and Pro- fessor Francis J. Trembley addressed the chapter on the subject of ' Evo- lution. ' As a society honoring scholastic ex- cellence in the liberal arts field, it was not until 1883 that it assumed its posi- tion of prominence. Prior to that time it had been left up to the individual chapter to establish its own reputa- tion. In the early days of the frater- nity, many chapters were located in the East and South, but now the 141 chapters are spread throughout the country. Membership in Phi Beta Kappa has long been recognized as one or the oustanding scholastic honors which a student may receive. Though few are chosen from the many who strive to obtain this recognition, there is little doubt that Phi Beta Kappa has done much toward raising the scholastic level of this and many other institutions. 308 w. aSi T , W ' L « .| -r-t , Top Roiw: Franz, Polstein, Smith, Simon, Professor Snook, Pines, oecona Row: Vice-President Smiley, President W ' hitaker, Hardy, HazelFiurst, Rosener.

These men, together with those members of the faculty and administration who have been elected to the society, have as their primary aim service to the University in any way that will add to its con- tinued improvement. Providing a common ground for outstanding stu- dents, administrators, and professors, Xi Circle has played a prominent role in all phases of campus activity, and serves as a model to all Lehigh men. During the past year officers for the group have been Richard R. StevicK, president, Kenneth W. Theile, vice-president. Dean John D. Leith, secretary, and Eugene H. Sowers, treasurer. Omicron Delta Kappa 309 Tau Beta Pi TAU BETA PI, national honor- ary engineering fraternity, was founded at LeKigK in June, 1885, by Dr. Edward G. Williams, Jr. Dr. Williams was motivated by a desire to secure for Lenign a cnapter of an honorary fraternity wnicn, in his own words, was based upon an honorary reward for high scholarship which is open to every student in every department. W hen it became clear that this could not be accom- plished through Phi Beta Kappa, he determined to furnish the students in those (the technical) schools with something of a similar nature. The first members of Tau Beta Pi were chosen from the alumni. Irving A. Heikes, the valedictorian of 1885, was elected the first student member of the organization. Until 1892, when a chapter was organized at Michigan State College under the guidance of Professor Breckenridge who trans- ferred from Lehigh, the only chapter of Tau Beta Pi was at Lehigh. Grad- ually other technical schools organ- ized chapters, and the fraternity grew to its present size of over seventy chapters throughout the country. Tau Beta Pi chooses its new mem- bers from students of all departments of the college of engineering. To be eligible for membership in the society a student engineer must be in the upper eighth of the class in his junior year or in the upper fifth of the class in his senior year. However, high scholastic standing alone has proved a poor criterion for selecting members Officers Nonemaker, Pollitt, Smith, Kreitz, Sowers and Simon The New Pledges 310 Top Row.

Dr. Williams, tke founder, believed tbat tbe character of any prospective initi- ate should be carefully considered; a member of the fraternity must be honest and dependable. Therefore, Tau Beta Pi strives to have as mem- bers men who will be all-around leaders in the world of tomorrow. The earliest event of importance in the past year was the spring initia- tion banquet which was held on May 22, 1947. A delicious steak dinner was served, and nfteen new members were welcomed into Tau Beta Pi. At a brief meeting following the ban- quet officers for the 1947-1948 semes- ters were elected and a new faculty advisor. Dr. Lynford Beaver of the Electrical Engineering Department, was chosen. This year marked the return of the engineer s Ball to the Lehigh campus after a war-time absence of four years. The ball is the first school dance of the fall semester and is sponsored jointly by three honorary societies -Tau Beta Pi, Pi Tau Sigma, and Eta Kappa Nu. Bob Chester s orchestra entertained the more than four hundred couples who attended the dance. 311 Pi Tau Sigma IN order to establisn a closer bond of fellowsKip wnicn will result in mutual benefit to those men in tbe study and in tKe profession of mecKanical engineering ... tKus begins tbe preamble of tne constitution of Pi Tau Sigma Fra- ternity. Founded at tne University of Illinois in tbe year 1915, it was 1927 before Pi Tau Sigma be- came firmly established on tbe Le- bigb campus. It grew quickly, and bas since become and remained one of tbe strongest and most active hon- orary societies at Lehigh. From an undergraduate membership of two at the peak of the war, the society rapidly regained strength, and the most recent pledg e class of thirty men has put it equal to or above its high- est pre-war level. Originally a co-founder of the En- gineers Lounge in Packard Labora- tory, Pi Tau Sigma has long since taken over its complete financial bur- den. Many years of wear and tear on the Lounge necessitated a great many repairs, and in the fall of 1947, Pi Tau Sigma floated a five hundred dollar bond issue among the students and faculty for this purpose. Among its other normal activities, the fraternity annually awards a handbook to the highest ranking freshman in the mechanical or in- dustrial engineering curriculum; it takes an active interest in the A.S.M.E. Student Branch activities; and it plays an important role in the sponsoring of the Engineer s Ball each year. Recitation Period My specific gravity? Top Row: CKristie, Leaton, Dugan, Smith, L.

Professor Larkin served for many years as Eastern Vice-Presi- dent of Pi Tau Sigma, and during his term of office was also editor of the Condenser, the society publica- tion. In fond recognition of his serv- ice to the fraternity, and also of his service to Lehigh University from which he retired as Head of the De- partment of Mechanical Engineering in June, Pi Tau Sigma planned a memorial banquet held in May. It seems significant that this event oc- curred on the twentieth year of the society s existence here on the cam- pus. Professor Larkin ' s spirit and guidance will long be felt by all Le- high men. Pi Tau Sigma has expanded na- tionally since 1915 to its present size of well over 30 chapters in 23 states. Each chapter is actively engaged in furthering the purposes set down by the founders to foster the high ideals of the engineering profession. Officers of the Lehigh Theta Chapter are Richard P. Bodine, president, Richard M. Smith, vice- president, Ethan A. Smith, secretary, and Louis Smith, treasurer. 313 Alpha Phi Omega IT was during the Spring Semester of 1947 tkat a handful of brothers of the Alpha Psi Chapter of Alpha Phi Omega gathered together and t)egan the task of reactivating A. P.O. at Lehigh. Prior to the war, Alpha Phi Omega had thrived as a very active organization participating in useful campus and community service projects. At the first reorganization meet- ing, Stuart Helthall, 48, was elected president, and it was Stu who led A.P.O. through the period of ex- panding the organization and estab- lishing a smooth running program of service projects. Aided by Vice Presi- dent Bruno de Paoh, ' 48, Secretary Ralph Werley, 48, and Treasurer August Wiegand, 49, the spring pledging was conducted in April, 1947, and 18 Lehigh men were pledged. In May, 1947, initiation banquet, held at The Sun Inn, brought an initiation team from La- fayette that conducted the ceremonies and formally reactivated Alpha Psi Chapter. The speaker of the evening was Dr. Ray O. Wyland, national director of relationships. Boy Scouts of America, and one of the staunch friends and advisors of the national Alpha Phi Omega organization. Alpha Phi Omega is a fraternity unique in its purpose. The sole cause for its existence is service in what- ever way may be most beneficial to the university, students, faculty, and administration, the community, the fraternity, and the nation. The brothers comprising the organization have all been active in Scouting at one time or another, and the service rendered the community of Bethle- hem is manifested in the aid that is given the local scout council. Brother William Jackson, 50, works with a local scout troop while all A.P.O. brothers give generously of their time to assist in counselling and instruct- ing scouts in the various phases of scout crafts. The beginning of the Fall Semes- ter of 1947 saw the brothers of A. P.O. actively participating in Fresh- man Week activities. Feeling the need to expand, a second pledging period took place early in October and a new pledge class of more than 20 members was brought in. Early December found the entire fraternity on a weekend, overnight camping trip at Delaware W ater Gap where the new pledges were initiated. 314 m V ( :d . t ■ ' Top Row: Farrell, Redding, Green, Messerve, KeeFe, Winchester, Rahmes.

Founded at Lehigh solely as an honorary fraternity for business stu- dents, Alpha Sigma has expanded into an active professional fraternity. This year the chapter, enlarged by 37 new men, formulated and sub- mitted to university authorities plans for a reading room in Christman- Saucon Hall. The lounge, to be fur- nished by the fraternity, would be open to all business students during the school day and for fraternity meetings in the evenings. Herman B. Mellott, Jr., and Claude Hafner were Alpha Sigma s delegates to the national convention held in Atlanta, Georgia for three days in September. The Alpha Kappa Psi Scholarship Medallion, award to the business stu- dent who has completed his junior year with the highest scholastic achievement, was presented on Founder s Day to Sherman G. Sass. Officers of Alpha Sigma chapter for the year were: E. E. McClow, president; H. B. Mellott, Jr., vice- president; John Wearne, secretary; Charles R. Stiles, treasurer, and Rob- ert Shurts, master of rituals. Professor E. C. Bratt is faculty counselor. Alpha Kappa Psi 315 AS. ME. BY bringing to the LeKigk cam- pus men of long engineering backgrounds ana experts in their particular fields, Lehigh Uni- versity s Student Chapter or the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers strives to acquaint the student engineer with some of the up-to-date problems of the modern industrial world. At present the Lehigh Chap- ter of the A.S.M.E. represents the students of two of the largest curricula at Lehigh, mechanical and industrial engineering. These two branches of engineering have not always had a combined or- ganization on the campus. As long ago as 1911 the mechanical engin- eers felt the need for some sort of an organization to supplement the every day class vorK. To accomplish this the Lehigh Student Branch of the American Society of Mechanical En- gineers was petitioned for and set up. With its early advent on the campus it became one of the oldest course societies. The industrial en- gineers shortly after becoming an established institution here at Lehigh founded their own organization, the Industrial Engineering Society, about sixteen years ago. The two organiza- tions functioned separately until 1940 when they were banded together in- to a large and powerful student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Heli- copters, was the topic discussed very interestingly by a member of the Bell Aircraft Corporation, Dr. Charles L. Foy. In the fall, the Lehigh University and the Lafayette College student chapters of the A.S.M.E. were guests of the Anthracite-Lehigh Valley Sec- tion of the A.S.M.E. at a get-together meeting at the Tatamy fire house. The program included a talk by W. T. Piper of Piper Aircraft on the sub- ject, Personal Elying. Discussions and introductions followed the talk, and refreshments were served. Officers for the society during the 1947-48 season were Richard H. Jones, president; Charles S. Keller, vice-president; Charles H. Engler, secretary; and Robert G. Balla, treasurer. Faculty advisor to the so- ciety is Mr. James B. Hartman. 317 A. S. C. E. PREPARING students for mem- berskip in tne parent cnapter, Lehigh ' s Student Chapter of the American Society of Civil En- gineers strives to keep in the fore- ground the aims of the A.S.C.E.: to coordinate and foster research and new design, to pubhsh any new de- velopments for pubnc information, and to attempt to organize into a strong unit the men of the Civil En- gineering world. In line with these ideals, the student chapter maKes available to the student the experi- ence of profess ional civil engineers through the medium of speakers and movies. The year s activities have been full. A Christmas banquet was held at the Sun Inn, and the traditional pres- entation of gifts to the Civil Engin- eering staff took place. This year, to everybody s surprise, some of the pro- fessors reciprocated by presenting the officers with gifts among which were four large red apples complete with polishing clothes. A picnic was held in the spring, and, as every year, everybody had a wonderful time. Early in March, the Lehigh Valley Chapter of the A.S.C.E. had a ban- quet to which they invited the stu- dent chapter. The chapter is looking forward to a bigger and better year and will re- main a major activity for all Civil Engineering students. President of the organization for the year was William D.

THE Lehigh Chapter, first stu- dent branch or the American Institute of Electrical Engi- neers, was founded October 12, 1902, by President-Emeritus Charles F. Scott. The Society was inactive during the w ar but was reorganized in the fall of 1946. Its purposes are to bring about a closer relationship between the students and the profes- sional world, to give the students a better understanding of practical en- gineering, to guide them in their specinc held of endeavor, and to af- ford new students the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the faculty and their fellow students. To accomplish these aims, the So- ciety invites successful engineers from industry to be guest speakers at the monthly meetings. An attempt is made to choose the speakers so that all phases of electrical engineering are covered. The talks are frequently supplemented by nlms and short technical papers presented by stu- dents. All student members, under the careful guidance of the Society s ad- visor, Professor J. Lynford Beaver, are encouraged to take an active part in the organization. Their short talks, demonstrations of equipment, and enthusiasm to hear other speakers all serve to enhance the value and suc- cess of the student branch. The officers of the organization in- clude Alexander H. McKean, Jr., president, G. Ralph Rosenberger, vice-president, Walter M. Creitz, treasurer, and James E. Markle, sec- retary. E. E.

The first topic was presented by Shel- don Wimpfen, formerly the Assist- ant Editor of AIME s magazine, ' Mining and Metallurgy. The sec- ond was the title of a discussion led by Mr. S. H. Cathcart, Director of the Bureau of Topographic and Geo- logical Survey of Pennsylvania. The Howard Eckfeldt Society has as its aim the goal stated in the con- stitution, To promote among its members, a self-sought increasing knowledge of geology, geophysics, and mining in all its branches and to install a professional pride in the life work they have chosen. To this end meetings are held on the third Thurs- day evening of each month during the academic year. At these meetings a brief business session preceds the main event of the evening, a lecture by a visiting geological or mining au- thority or a film loaned by an inter- ested company. In addition to the speakers men- tioned, films were presented during the past year on such subjects as the manufacture of steel, oil prospecting and oil development, open pit cop- per mining, and limestone quarrying. Programs included in the Spring semester were talks by the following men: Arthur F. Peterson, General Manager of Raw Materials of Beth- lehem Steel, on Mining at the Corn- wall Mine ; M. D. Cooper, director of vocational training of the National Coal Association, on The Coal Sit- uation ; and George O. Gates, of the U. S. Geological Survey, on The Work of the Survey in Alaska. ' The talk by Mr. Cooper was broadcast over the local radio station. In order to stimulate interest, an informal session with refreshments usually terminates the meetings. Membership in the organization is open to any undergraduate showing an interest in the field of geology, geophysics, or mining. In March the Society received news of the death of Howard Eck- felt, professor emeritus of mining engineering and from whom the so- ciety takes its name. The Society members as well as members of the faculty bereave the departure of Skipper who did much to advance the name of Lehigh in the mineral industry. 321 Band THERE is one thing certain about a LeKigh football game; won, lost, or tied; the University Band will always Le there to put on a good show. The half-time band formations and the precision march- ing have added immensely to the color and spirit prevailing at these footbalpcontests. This tradition, built through many years by the band members of the past, has been given every indication, by the diligence of this year s band, that it will be per- petuated for future Lehigh genera- tions to be proud of. Coming to Lehigh for his first year as Assistant Professor of Music and Director of the Lehigh Band, Wil- liam Schempf began the Fall Semes- ter with a reorganization of the band. Competitive tryouts were held for the various positions in each section, and the hundred or so aspirants were whittled down to a marching band of 77 men. Marching drills and music rehear- sals began immediately with the start of the semester. Student Director Spencer Collmann, 49, and his assis- tant. Gene Sowers, 48, took charge of drilling the band and planning marching formations. Three rehear- Tlie Houseparty Heart 322 Piccolos and Flutes: Chisholm. Shackles, Hosfeld, SKook.

Perhaps the most anticipated weekends of the footDall season for members of the band were the Satur- days that trips were made to away games. A short run over to Rutgers was the first trip, but it was the three day jaunt to Pittsburgh for tfie Car- negie Tech game that proved the most exciting. Business Manager Augie Wiegand, 49, took charge of the many arrangemients in planning the trip to Pittsburgh. The day of the game was miserably wet and the Held a sea of mud, but mud spattered uni- forms were proof that the band marches regardless. The houseparty game also requir- ed more sloshing in the mud when a large heart with an L in the center WIS formed by the band during half time. The Glee Club also appeared on the field and joined with the band to sing a medley of Lehigh songs. The most unique formation of the season was a turkey formed at the Lafayette game. The cheerleaders appeared on the held with an enor- mous axe and chopped the turkey s head off, the band then forming an interlocking L.U. In addition to all the Saturday games and weekday re- hearsals, the band played at all the pep rallies helping to add to the pro- motion of school spirit. The close of the football season found the band preparing for con- certs that were given later in the year. At each of the bi-weekly rehearsals. Mr. Schempf stressed sight reading and the improvement of playing tech- niques. 325 Combined Music Clubs THE Glee Club, tKe SympKony OrcKestra, and the Lehigh Collegians, campus exponents of modern melodies, are collected to- gether as the Combined Music Clubs. Under this type of organiza- tion, a smooth administration and a greater correlation of the activities or the three groups is provided. Presid- ing for the year 1947-48, Lee Rich- ards, 48, and his Business Manager Blackburn Hazelhurst, 48, have had a busy musical year. The Lehigh Collegians spent the early fall of 1947 busily rehearsing. Under the leadership of Frank Bar- tholomew, 49, rhythm, melody, and harmony in the latest style were blended to make soft, danceable mu- sic. At the Combined Charities Dance early in November, the Col- legians turned out in full force to pro- vide music for the benefit of charity and the dancing couples. For the Spring Semester, the Collegians had more dance engagements and the large campus-wide musical on their slate. But it was from the Glee Club that the Combined Music Cl ubs got its strength in numbers. A most active group at Lehigh, it was these care- CoHcgians— Rliytfim: Pesci, Hall, Stockam, WincKes- ter.

Mr. Schempf directed the club, and Irv Huber, 49, acted as student direc- tor. The Fall Semester saw the Glee Club in a new roll, supporting the band at half-time of the Houseparty football game. Old Lehigh songs, some of which had never been heard by present day Lehigh men, were dusted off and reaarranged into a medley of tunes. From the muddy field the Glee Club sang its songs for the visiting houseparty queens. As the next event on the fall schedule, the Glee Club sang a memorial con- cert at Lehighton for the purpose of raising funds to erect a hospital in Lehighton in honor of World War II dead. The annual Christmas concert was the most important event of the fall for the members of the Glee Club. Perhaps it was the joyous singing of Christmas music that the Glee Club looked forward to or, per chance, it was the opportunity to sing with Mo- ravian s ftnest.

For the Spring Semester, the busy Glee CluD had a joint concert with the Beaver College Glee Club and the large campus-wide musical. 326 Top Row: Schaeier, Beardslee, Professor Schempi, Dennis. Second Row: Heisler, Sowers, Ricnards. IN order to foster musical activities on tne campus, Tone, tne nonor- ary music society, was rounaea in tKe spring of 1937. Meetings are nela montnly, ana at these meetings opportunity is given members to en- joy tne tnree key aims of the society: appreciation, interpretation, ana com- position of music. Also at these meet- ings guest speakers or members of the society present talks on topics of interest in the nela of music. Com- posers, particular compositions, and historical movements and changes in the realm of music are discussed. Professor William A. Schempf of the department of music and faculty advisor of Tone, has been of great service in the project of replacing the makeshift arrangements created Front Row: Brandt, CoUnian, Leming, Schwarz. when a new reproducer took the place of the original Capehart. Since its organization, and particularly in its functioning since the war, the Society has worked to make available the present collection of records, properly catalogued and regularly enlarged for listening. To assist the student members of Tone and for the benefit of all who enjoy good music, the Uni- versity has provided playing sets of suitable quality for the best possible reproduction. Membership in the organization is open, on an honorary basis, to all members of the Lehigh student body whose abilities enable them to fur- ther music appreciation at Lehigh and who have a genuine interest in the appreciation, interpretation, and composition of music. Tone Society 327 Mustard and Cheese ONCE again, Mustard and Cneese, L.enign s dramatics society composed or those students interested in all functions or drama, has enjoyed a very successful season. The first production under- taken was Karel Capelc s R. U. R., a satiric play on the fight between na- ture and engineering science. Mr. Patterson Benner designed the large and impressive symbolic architectural set which added to the success of the show. Starring in this production were Howard Kucher, John Plumb, and Edith McKinley, wife of a Le- high student. They were supported by other members of the society. The big dramatic production of the year was Cyrano ae Bergerac by Rostand. James Scanlan did a su- perb job of acting in the title role. He shared his acting honors with Ford Pray, James Palmer, Nancy Lynn, and Dorothy Snowden. Both Mrs. Lynn and Mrs. Snowden are wives of veterans now attending the Uni- versity. Cyrano ae Bergerac was received with enthusiasm unequalled for many a year in the history of Mustard and Cheese. The second night of production over a thousand people attended, applauded vigorously, and held the entire cast for four curtain calls. For the second year, another uni- versally loved Gilbert and Sullivan production was presented in Bethle- Head Robot Maker The Robots 328 na Top Row: Raiff, Gill, Kovar, Yost, Ridler, Hood.

TKis operetta, The MifeaJo, was produced tKrough tKe combined efforts of Mustard and Cheese, the Moravian College for Women, and the Lehigh Symphony Orchestra. Mr. WiUiam Schempf, new head of the Department of Music, Mr. Frank- lin Kenyon of the Department of Engnsh, and Miss Gertrude Barns, director of the Moravian Glee Chib, through hard work and superb coach- ing, did an excellent job in training the voices of the leads and choruses. Mustard and Cheese owes a vote of thanks to Mr. Barrett Davis, who is the faculty advisor of the club as well as the director for all the produc- tions, A great deal of the success of this year s productions comes from the remarkable ability and conscien- tiousness of Mr. Davis. Helping Mr. Davis, Mr. Benner and Mr. Cooper have done a spectac- ular job with the staging of the shows. Under far-from-good condi- tions, they have managed to build and prepare excellent sets and have them ready for the opening nights. Mustard and Cheese has thus proved that plays like Cyrano are not too big an undertaking for collegiate dramatics clubs and that difficulties in production can be overcome. Of- ficers for the club were, president, Howard A. Kucher, vice-president, John Plumb, Jr., treasurer, James Gentles, secretary, Henry Salm, and technical director, Donald F. Cooper. 529 Alpha Lambda Omega ALPHA LAMBDA OMEGA is a social fraternity for the ' students of Allentown ana vi- cinity. In 1941, Henry Siebald, who is now a memLer of the mathematics department here at Lehigh, first or- ganized a cluD known as the A.L.O., Allentown Living Organization. The purpose of the club, as of the present fraternity, was to permit students from Allentown and the surrounding towns to hecome acquainted and to Hnd some outlet for participating in college life that they might otherwise completely miss. In 1942 the idea of establishing a local fraternity was first conceived, and a constitution was prepared and submitted to the Dean of Undergrad- uates. With the Dean s approval. Alpha Lambda Omega became the first fraternity of its kind at Lehigh. The original nucleus of 1 5 or 20 men has increased to over 100. There are approximately 180 stu- dents in the Allentown area, and well over half of that group have signed up for membership. This privilege is open to anyone who is interested and living in the Allentown area. New freshmen as well as upperclassmen are eligible, and in addition to Allen- town, the localities of Northampton, Catasauqua, and Fullerton currently have members in the fraternity. Ap- proximately ftfty per cent of the mem- bership now consists of married stu- dents. Officers Bickel, Vargo, Spengler and Green Noon Relaxation 330 s I -J KJl Bin H Hi t ill Sliest ? .

Many and varied social activities KigKIigKted the fraternity calender this past season. Saturday evening of the fall houseparty, November 8, 1947, the chapter sponsored its own dance in Allentown. Prior to the dance the memDers had gone on a highly successful hay ride. A Christ- mas Dance was held on the 27th of December during the University Christmas vacation. Alpha Lambda Omega is recog- nized by the University as a social fraternity and as such participates in interfraternity league competitions. The fraternity produced a formidable basketball team during the winter season. As an illustration of the en- thusiasm of this young fraternity group, over 90 persons turned out for their initiation banquet held this year at Shankweiler ' s, The secretary of Arcadia, Val Hunt, is a member of Alpha Lambda Omega and as such represents the out-of-town men in student govern- ment. The fraternity is not yet recog- nized as a living group. This status would enable them to purchase tick- ets to ball games in a group and to take advantage of several other privil- eges available only to such groups, and consequently its members are at the present time working on a plan to gain this recognition. Alpha Lambda Omega, as many of the other social fraternities at Le- high, became inactive during the war years but was reactivated in 1946. At the present time, a revision of the fra- ternity s original constitution is being made, and a key for the fraternity is being selected. 331 Scabbard and Blade COMPANY H, Third Regi- merit of Scabbard and Blade, the LebigK chap ter of the national ROTC honorary, had a suc- cessful existence from its founding in 1922 until 1943, when it was inacti- vated because of the discontinuance of the ROTC program for the dura- tion. In March, 1947, a small return- ing group of Scabbard and Blade members initiated a pledge class of about twenty men from the Ad- vanced ROTC group. These twenty formed the nucleus for the reactivated company. Scabbard and Blade s outstanding activity, as far as the whole student body is concerned, has always been the annual Military Ball. This was held in May and was pronounced a social success by those present, al- though leaving something to be de- sired from the standpoint of weather and money. Toward the end of the football season. Scabbard and Blade insti- tuted a color guard for football games, with four men to carry the colors on the field with the Band and two others to raise the flag over Taylor Stadium. Officers for the spring semester or 1947 were K. C. Johnson, captain, D. E. Denahm, first lieutenant, P. E. Schwab, second lieutenant, and J. H. Hollingsworth, first sergeant. These posts correspond to president, vice-president, treasurer, and secre- tary, respectively. In the fall Denham moved up to captain and Ellison was elected first lieutenant.

With a mem- bership of about 70 interested stu- dents and faculty members, the club holds weekly meetings to instruct and discuss different phases of proper photographic technique. Greatly improved darkroom facili- ties in Drown Hall made available to club members in 1947 enabled the or- ganization to expand in size and scope. Each semester the Camera Club holds a salon exhibition in the Li- brary Art Gallery. Any member of the Lehigh family may exhibit pic- tures and a grand prize is awarded to the winner. The Camera Club has also joined the Photographic Society of America, a national organization of amateur and professional photog- raphers and clubs. The officers for the fall semester were David Ford, president; Stanley Moyer, vice-president and treasurer; Don Wulpi, secretary; Charles Reinbrecht, darkroom manager; and Edward Jaynes, publicity manager. Mr. John Fitch is the faculty advisor. Flying Club THE Lehigh University Flying Club has operated in rather stormy conditions during the past year, but is now in contact and progressing normally. The storms began in May. 1947, when a faulty landing damaged the club s Cessna and costly repairs pre- vented its use until August. The bor- derline financial position of the club was badly shaken, and a complete reorganization was necessary. However, with the reorganization, the group has been gaining ground consistently. On memorial Day of 1947. the University was represented at the National Intercollegiate Flying Meet held at Willow Run, Michi- gan, by members of the Flying Club. The Lehigh team placed fourth out of the thirteen teams entered. During the winter, night flying be- came popular, and spare planes were made available to the club members at cost. Holiday and vacation trips are now made at every opportunity, and, above all, the club is accom- plishing its prime purpose ... to give Lehigh students a chance to learn to fly for their own pleasure, or for the distinct utility that flying and a knowledge of flying creates. 533 If ■• p ' Pershing Rifles COMPANY F, 5tK regiment, Pershing Rifles, at LekigK University, was organizea late in 1946 as Varsity Rifles, an association or outstanding elemen- tary course ROTC students. Con- tact was made with regimental head- quarters at Penn State, and initiation ceremonies took place April 26, 1947, after completion or the required prerequisites including group partici- pation in one week or special drill and a weekend bivouac. Fifteen men composed the original unit. Clarence G. Knight was elected company commander; Ken Johnson, 1st It.; William McLean, 2nd It.; and Millard Breiden, 1 st sgt. Knight and Johnson have since received commissions as 2nd It., O.R.C., at summer camp. Sixteen new members have been admitted this fall, bringing Top Row: Mycr, Roberts, Rolirbacn, Foerster, Stone, Hinkle, Smith. Second Row: McClanachan, Nichols, Hosrora.

Col. James Luckett, professor of military science at Lehigh, and Capt. James D. Mc- Lanachan, also of the Lehigh mili- tary department, have accompanied the unit on each trip. New members are required to carry arms and full packs, to hike sixteen miles, and to stand guard duty on regular shifts at night. McLean. Front Row: Tripp, Shockcor, Trumpolal, Rosenbaum.

In the fall of 1 946, returning veter- ans and ski enthusiasts organized the new Lehigh University Ski Club. With the sanction of the Univer- sity again obtained to enter competi- tion, plans were immediately formu- lated to arrange a schedule of meets. A group from the club went to the New England slopes during the holi- days this year where instruction w as available for novice skiers and where more difficult trails tested the ability of the more experienced men. During the past season Leonard Luckenbach served as president of the club. Other officers included Rob- ert Smith, secretary; Edward Ma- lone, manager; and John Attaway, publicity manager. Faculty advisor for the club and an enthusiastic skier himself, was Dr. Bruce Johnson of Fritz Laboratory. Sailing Club THE Lehigh Sailing Club is an organization of students inter- ested in supplementing their summer sailing activities with mem- bership in a group which represents Lehigh in Intercollegiate Sailing Competition. As was the case with many student activities, the war forced the deactiva- tion of the Sailing Club. Upon the return of the University to a normal operating basis, the club was re- activated in 1946. The ICYRA re- newed the club s Associate Member status and competition again was re- sumed. The club members have accumu- lated valuable sailing experience in many types of boats during their in- tercollegiate competition, and placed second in the Middle Atlantic As- sociate Member Championship Re- gatta held at Kings Point, N. Y., in September, 1947. Officers of the Sailing Club are Charles N. Codding III, commodore, David L. Berry, vice-commodore, Joseph B. Shearer, rear commodore, and Edward W. White, secretary- treasurer. 335 Newtonian Society THE Newtonian Society is an Konorary group composea of students wno nave shown a kigK degree of ability in mathematics during their freshman year. The so- ciety was formed to promote inter- est in various subjects of mathematics which are not covered by the usual routine of course requirements, to give its members opportunity for in- tellectual activity outside the class- room, and to promote friendship be- tween its members and members of the faculty. The Newtonian Society has been in existence at Lehigh for twenty years, but during the war was forced to disband because of low enroll- ment. In November, 1946, however, the society was reactivated and Don- ald Love was elected as its first post- war president. The current year began with the election of J. H. Doweling as presi- dent, J. W. Way as vice-president, and T. G. Schwarz as secretary. In the October meeting ne v members were initiated into the society and welcomed by Professor Garrison, fac- ulty advisor. Professor Sawyer of the Physics Department spoke at this meeting on The Interdependence of Mathematics and Physics . In the November meeting. Professor Stohl gave a talk on The Theory of Num- bers. During the month of Decem- ber, a social gathering was held at the Pelican Club. This party was the first of its kind to be held by the so- ciety, and it is hoped that this Christ- mas party will become an annual af- fair.

LARGE scale intramural debat- ing was re-establisKed at Le- nign last spring wKen Delta Omicron Tneta successfully con- aucted a tournament witn sixteen teams competing for $200.00 in prize money. The LeKigli Chapter also participated in the annual Penn State Debater ' s Conference at which representatives from throughout the state meet as in Congressional session to frame legislation on vital topics. One of the two topics dis- cussed last year was socialized medi- cine, and the proposal finally en- acted on was the one submitted by Lehigh delegates. Late last May Lehigh played host to Cedar Crest, Moravian, and Muhlenberg, all members of the Le- high Valley Debating Conference, at a radio forum discussion of the Palestine problem. The final event of the spring semester was a banquet in the Hotel Bethlehem. At this time the following officers were installed: Bob Mertz, president; Sherman Sass, vice-president; Al Rubenstein, busi- ness manager; and Dick Staley, sec- retary-treasurer. The fall semester found the society short on experienced intercollegiate debaters. The active members of Delta Omicron Theta formed the nucleus of the society and carried on the work of training some thirty new men for intercollegiate competition. An intensive program of inter-club debates was arranged. Delta Omicron Theta 337 DeMolay Club IN order tKat tke work and princi- ples of local DeMolay Chapters migkt be carried on at Lenign, tke LekigK DeMolay Club was or- ganized. TKe original group or six men first met on the campus in 1955, and since then the group has grown to become a leader among the three hundred such college clubs scattered over the campuses of the country. To become a member of the c lub, the Lehigh man must be a De- Molay, although it is possible to have the Bethlehem Chapter initiate men. The club is under the sponsorship of the Wilbur Chapter, Order of De- Molay, which is located in the Ma- sonic Temple in Bethlehem. In both ritual work and social activities, the club works in close co-operation with the local Masonic bodies. During the war the club was in- active, but in the summer of 1947, Richard A. Staley located and reor- ganized all of the records and regalia of the club, and the organization was ready to reactivate early in the fall semester. The officers of the club for the past year were Richard A. Staley, presi- dent, Alvey W. Rushton, vice-presi- dent, Harold J. Eisenhouer, secre- tary, Donald C. Smith, treasurer, and Edward S. Tattershall, chaplain. Ad- visor to the organization is Dr. Carl O. Keck, Director of the University Health Service. Top Row: Thompson, Hiesland, Ehrsam, Rittman, Alexy, Young, Kaiser, Stephenson.

' rs Cosmopolitan Club AN Indian dinner complete witn rare tribal disnes was one or tne nignlignts or tne winter season for tne memoers or tne Cos- mopolitan Club. This dinner, given at tne nome or Professor T. H. Hazle- nurst, faculty advisor for tne club, was tne first in a series of dinners to be given to permit all of tne members to nave an opportunity to taste tbe food of tbeir native land again pre- pared in the style of their homeland. The Cosmopolitan Club, as many other Lehigh organizations, practical- ly ceased to exist during the war years, but it was reorganized in 1045 under the leadership of Edward Dabbas. It is expected that the club will soon function as a living group as it did in pre-war days. Its living group status was lost in 1943 when many of its members entered the service. The bulk of the foreign students at Lehigh at the present time are from India, China, and Norway. Officers for the past season for the Cosmopolitan Club were Robert H. Korkegi, president; Lloyd E. Anto- nides, vice-president; Howard Ap- plegate, secretary, and Paul S. Glaser, treasurer. E. W. Brown Astronomical Society THE Earnest W. Brown Astro- nomical Society entered the Fall semester of 1947 with new leadership and a partial reorganiza- tion. The Society, never large, had been inactive during the war years, but through the efforts of Robert Schmaltz it was put back on its feet in 1946. By the fall of 1947 a pro- gram to revive interest in astronomy on Lehigh s campus and to provide suitable facilities for this interest had been undertaken by a small nucleus of active members. The observatory, decked with a new coat of paint, was reopened and a number of open house nights were designated to show Lehigh s equipment in this Held to an interested public. The president of the society, Lay- ton C. Butts, has led the reorganiza- tion and is a never-ending source of new ideas for activities. A new con- stitution for the Society, which places it upon much firmer ground than formerly, is only one of his recent con- tributions. Phil Tiffany is the hard- working secretary-treasurer, who has done a fine job in this capacity for three semesters. Eaculty advisor for the Society is Professor Van Arnam. 339 Phi Alpha Theta PHI ALPHA THETA is the national lionorar - histor - fra- ternit- - and a member of the Association of College Honor Socie- ties. The official publication of the societ is The Historian. This year the regional conference of the chap- ters of the eastern states was held at Lehigh. The purposes of Phi Alpha Theta are to stimulate interest in the study of histor ' and to honor outstanding achievement in this endeavor. Com- posed of men th a common interest in histor -. the Lehigh chapter, more- over, seeks to pro ide for social and intellectual intercourse among its members, who include undergradu- ates, graduate students, and facult ' personnel. Requisites for member- ship, besides evidence of a vital in- terest in the study of Iiistory, include a B-pIus average in at least 12 hours of history ' or government course work, a B average in tvvo-thirds of the remaining subjects, and at least junior class standing. At the monthly meetings of the Lehigh Alpha Alpha chapter, to which the public was frequently in- ited, the main speakers this year included the following Lehigh fac- ult members: Dr. William A. Aiken, Registrar George B. Curtis, Dr. Lawrence H. Gipson, Dr. George W. Kyte, Dr. George T. Peck, and Dr. Robert M. Smith, head of the Department of English.

The banquet and initiation of new members of the fraternity was held on December 8th at the St. Mark ' s Lutheran Church in Bethlehem. Plans were discussed for a project to determine the correlation between high scholastic ranking and success in business and industry. Members of the fraternity who have been out of school for more than ten years will Close. Third Row. Foster, Adam, R.

Phi Eta Sigma has also announced the re-activation of the Phi Eta Sigma scholarship cup awarded each year to the living group of five men or more which has attained the highest ranking in the freshman year. An in- dividual cup will be donated each year to the living group by the Fra- ternity advisor. Professor H. V. An- derson, through whose efforts the fraternity was kept together during the war years and whose guidance has done much to make it one of the most active of the 56 chapters in the national organization. Phi Eta Sigma 341 Chapel Choir THE Ckapel Choir, now in its second year or post-war activi- ty, leads a very active existence at LeKigK. Formed last year under tKe direction of Herbert Sawyer, an instructor in civil engineering, the baton changed hands when Mr. Sawyer left Lehigh. Mr. WiHiam Schempf, Assistant Professor of Mu- sic, is the present director of the choir. The Chapel Choir is one of the most active organizations on the campus. Each Sunday, the chapel service is greatly rounded out by the aid of the Chapel Choir with their singing of chants, hymns, and an- thems. Other activities have kept the choir busy during the Fall Semester. At the Convocation Service before the be- ginning of the semester, the Chapel Choir was there to add to the service. Founder s Day in October and a special Thanksgiving service in No- vember also saw the choir out in full force. On week day evenings when special guest speakers appear at the chapel, the choir is present to add re- ligious music to the evening s talk. For the first part of the Fall Semes- ter, Edward Heller, 48, acted as President of the Chapel Choir. Elected to succeed him as president was Norman Seim, 50. The Librari- an for the organization is Donald Wulpi, 49, and the organist is Ramona Baker, a student of music at Moravian. Front Row: Prof. Schempf. Minde, Clymer, Craver, Evans, Hauser.

THE Student CKapel Society was cKartered as an Konorary society in December, 1946, wKen tKe University accredited this sixteen-man successor to tKe three- man Student Cnapel Committee or Arcadia. Tne members are elected in recognition of Christian endeavor on and off campus, and insofar as pos- sible, represent the four classes and the three hving groups. Also, the Christian religious organizations on campus are represented. The members of the Society assist the University Chaplain, the Rever- end George Bean, in the regular chapel services, convocations, and chapel speaker programs. Dedication of Sunday morning services to living groups with members of the group attending in a body and supplying ushers, was initiated by Omicron Delta Kappa and the Student Chapel Society. On February 8, 1948, members of the Society con- ducted the University Chapel Service in the absence of Chaplain Bean. Contact with religious groups in the Lehigh Valley colleges was initi- ated in the hope that concerted re- gional religious activities could be effected. The chapel speaker program brought to the campus such men of national and international im- portance in the field of religion as Dr. George Buttrick, the Rev. John Sum- mers of the lona Community of Scot- land, Dr. T. Z. Koo, Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, Dr. Bernard I. Bell, and Dr. Paul Hutchinson. Student Chapel Society 343 Alpha Epsilon Delta DURING tKe past year, AIpKa Epsilon Delta, honorary pre- meaical fraternity, nas been instrumental in reorganizing tne Robert W. Hall Pre-Med Society and providing, for tne first time in pre-medical history at Lehigh, an open meeting where all pre-medical students were given the opportunity to meet the faculty members of the Biology Department who will be their guides throughout their years at Lehigh. It is hoped that this type of meeting will become an annual affair on South Mountain. Meetings during the year have in- cluded papers presented by the mem- bers, prominent on-campus speakers, and visits to various points of medical interest. Individual participation in the meetings is stressed and any op- portunity for individual research is fostered. It is hoped that through the continued efforts of its members. Alpha Epsilon Delta will continue to share a prominent role in Lehigh life. The Pennsylvania Alpha Chapter of Alpha Epsilon Delta began the 1947-48 year with the initiation of eight new men. They were Patrick Anders, Marvin Weinreb, Edward Nork, George Richard, John Jordan, Richard Norris, Richard Stemler, and Morton Schwartz. Dr. Max Rossman, head of the Allentown State Hospital, was the principal speaker at the initiation banquet held at the Colonnade. Top Row: Yazujian, Norris, Nork, Weinret.

SHBUM- jam Bridge Club THE LeKigK Bridge Club kas made remarkable progress since its organization only two snort years ago. In its first outside competition of tKe year, the club de- feated a strong University of Penn- sylvania team by tne score of 35 to 28. Other outside competition nas been assured by tbe formation of the Lehigh Valley Intercollegiate Bridge League, which includes Lehigh, Cedar Crest College, Moravian Col- lege for Men, Muhlenberg College, and Lafayette College. The winning team gains possession for one year of a trophy donated by Arcadia. The Club is a member of the American Contract Bridge League and sends a team each year into the National Intercollegiate Bridge Championship elimination round. Still the most important and in- structive competition the club merai- bers receive comes in the weekly in- ter-club duplicate tournament, where it is determined which pairs will par- ticipate in outside tournaments. The winners, in addition to becoming eligible to play in tournaments with other schools, receive A.C.B.L. mas- ter points. International Relations Club FOSTERING discussion and thought on subjects relating to international affairs, the Inter- national Relations Club has assumed an important role on the Lehigh cam- pus. To the Lehigh man, undergrad- uate, graduate, or faculty member, the International Relations Club of- rers an opportuntiy to become better informed on the great international problems of the day. To accomplish this aim the club brings speakers with either personal or expert knowledge of international affairs to the Univer- sity. Typical or the worthwhile pro- grams presented, the club this year secured Robert S. Pharo as a guest speaker. Mr. Pharo spoke on his ex- periences at the International Chris- tian Youth Conference at Oslo, Nor- way. He stressed the function of inter- national Christian youth organiza- tions in encouraging and bringing about lasting peace. Another inter- esting meeting conducted by the club in conjunction with the American Veterans Committee was a lecture and discussion on World Govern- ment conducted by Professor George Peck of the history depart- ment. 545 Dames Club THE Dames Club of LeKigK is an organization or wives or marriea students. From tKe ap- proximately 600 stuJent wives at tKe university, large numbers come out to each meeting. Meetings are beld semi-montKIy. Interesting speakers ana experts in various nelas are presented at eacK meeting. This year tne programs nave included a talk on ceramics by a local merchant, a lecture on interior deco- ration by a specialist, a description or the braille system by Mrs. Godshall, a discussion or silverware by Mrs. Hazlehurst, and a presentation oi the problem of child psychology by an Allentown physician. The ftrst meeting of the fall semes- ter was a tea, the fcrst real get-to- gether of many of the new wives at Lehigfi. Possibly the climax of the season was a highly successful dance held in the early part of De- cember. This season has seen the purpose of the club, to enable the old and new wives of Lehigh students to become better acquainted, uppermost in the minds of the officers. This purpose was originally stated when a group of 1 87 wives first met in February, 1946, to organize the Dames Club. Officers for the Dames Club for the past season were Mrs. Robert E. Baumgarten, president; Mrs. John E. Schumacher, Jr., vice president; Mrs. John F. Hannon, recording sec- retary; Mrs. Benoit L. McMahen, corresponding secretary; and Mrs. Winheld F.

The outstanding programs pre- sented during the past season were designed to picture religion in a hv- ing world. Professor Earl Crum, head of the department of Greek, was the first speaker. His topic was Religion in Post-war Germany. In October, 1947, the cluD presented the secretary general of the World ' s Student Christian Federation, Dr. T. Z. Koo, and the following month Jan Pio- trowski. Rector of Our Lord ' s Ascen- sion Polish National Catholic Church of Bethlehem addressed the club concerning the Polish National Catholic Church. Officers of the organization for the spring semester of 1948 included Frank C. Tatem, Jr., president; Ed- ward Tattershall, vice - president; John D. Evans, secretary-treasurer. German Club FILLING an important position in fostering the study and dis- cussion of German culture, Le- high s two-year-old German Club has grown in size and prestige on the campus as a result of its many suc- cessful activities. Probably the most successful event of the winter season was the gala festival sponsored by the Society in December. Members of the German Clubs from neighboring Lehigh Valley colleges were invited and joined in the program which included the showing of a German language film, a buffet supper, skits, and danc- ing. The latter part of the program took place in typical German style at the Bethlehem Mannerchor. The German Society at Lehigh was inactive from 1924 until 1947. It was reactivated and a new consti- tution was established under the able sponsorship of Professors Marion C. Lazenby and Hans K. Schuchard of the German Department. The officers of the Society are: Fred C. Salber, Jr., president, Friedel Rauch, vice-president, Richard C. Davis, secretary, Joseph Spontak, treasurer, and Marvin Weinreb, publicity chairman. Faculty advisors are Professors Lazenby and Schu- chard. 347 Epitome EVERY staff that produces an Epitome on South Mountain naturally entertains tne fond nope tnat some particular feature of their annual will make it stand out among the throng of other Epitomes produced in preceding years. The staff of the 1 948 Epitome is ty no means an exception, for it is not only producing a book for the largest senior class in the history of Lehigh, but also hopes to have the 1948 Epitome on the campus before this class is graduated in June. With these two goals in mind, the main body of the staff was organized in the beginning of the Fall semester of 1947. The tremendous size of the graduating class necessitated a much larger book than in previous years, and the multiplicity of planning and production problems were increased proportionately. At the nrst few meetings, th e all- important deadlines w ere set, the edi- torial policies were discussed, and the art work was planned. As the months rolled by the copy began to pour into the office in the basement of Drown Hall, and the 1948 Epitome began to take shape. The editorial board was headed by Richard Jones, editor-in-chief, and Gilpin Jefferis, managing editor, who determined the over-all policies of the book, organized the various sections, and did a great deal of the work and planning that must go into such a Editors Jefferis and Jones Art Editor Harry Simpson 348 Top Roic: Sachse, Miller, Nickolaui, Rxuin er, Lon- Rou .

Attend- ing to the sports coverage was Robert Hicks, while W arren Bowden and Robert Saydah were editors or the Organizations and Living Groups Sections, respectively. Harr ' Simpson contributed the hne pen and ink drawings which ap- pear on the divider pages throughout the book, and the Current Year Sec- tion was planned and written by Robert Smith. AH the candid photography and many of the pictures about the cam- pus were done by the Epitome pho- tography staff under the direction of illiam Church and Robert Chis- holm. 349 Brown and White LEHIGH news for LeKigK stu- dents. TKat s tKe motto or tne Brown and White, tKe news- paper that Kas been serving Lekign students for fifty-four years. This semi-weeldy puoncation has been relating the news of the campus and trying to voice the opinion of the student body every Tuesday and Fri- day. It has conducted some success- ful campaigns for improvements at Lehigh, and has helped to foster sev- eral movements that have made Le- high outstanding in the held of stu- dent government. During the past year two new- comers have appeared on the Brown and White scene. They are the in- structors and advisors that have re- placed Dr. Moore and Mr, Mullen, both of whom left Lehigh at the end of the summer half-semester in 1947. Professor C. W ilton W ynn came to South Mountain with considerable experience in the held of journalism. He served as a reporter on his col- lege newspaper, wrote as Cairo cor- respondent for the Chicago Tribune and the British Telepress Agency, and instructed in the American Llni- versity in Cairo, Egypt. Mr. Samuel S. Talbert, the other new instructor, served as public rela- tions officer aboard the U.S.S. Cabot, an aircraft carrier in the famous Task Force 58. In the Fall, the Brown and White, with Al Farans, James Schwab, The business staff Board of Control 530 Brown and White gets ready to go to press. Dave Herder, RicKard Davis, and Robert Lewison acting as the Board or Control, promoted a Mr. and Mrs. LeKigK 1947-48 contest to se- lect tKe typical LehigK man and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Richard Stevick won the award, and the presentation of a cup to the winning couple was one of the high spots of Fall House- party. The Spring semester Board of Control consisting of Lloyd An- tonides, Emil W. Klimak, John Hegedus, and Stuart E. Stern pro- moted among other things a direc- tory of the new Lehigh, phone num- bers, a new masthead, and a semes- ter party; and they also drew up a new constitution for the publication. The column Mountain Views car- ried statements and pictures of stu- dents and faculty, chosen at random, on timely questions of Lehigh inter- est. The topics discussed were fre- quently of national and international scope, and the column gave the inter- viewees the opportunity to state their reactions to and their opinions on these sometimes controversial sub- jects. With an eye on adding another journalism award to its imposing string, the Brown and White is striv- ing for the highest degree of objectiv- ity and accuracy in all of its news ar- ticles. However, the signed columns, editorials, and letters to the editor still provide the outlet for student opinion that the paper feels is necessary in a campus newspaper. 351 Goblet LEHIGH University ' s lourtn un- dergraduate magazine, tne Goblet , Kas finally during tKis past year become a campus ac- claimed and administration approved success. The Goblet ' , organized during 1946 by members of Pi Delta Epsil- on, Konorary journalism fraternity, saw a near eclipse early this year wben it was suspended by tbe Board of Publications. Altfiougb tbe maga- zine evoked considerable enthusiasm from tbe student body, tbe Adminis- tration disagreed witb certain edi- torial policies. After preparation of a constitution by a tbree-man committee including Robert Polstein, editor of tbe Gob- let , tbe bead of tbe English Depart- ment, Dr. R. M. Smith, and the head of the Journalism Division, Prof. C. W. Wynn, the magazine was re-es- tablished. Under the new plan the magazine was divided into two staffs, a business and an editorial staff. Of- ricers of the business staff were Irwin H. Vogel, Robert E. Katz, and Emer- son H. Virden, with John C. Clark as the business manager. Editorial staff heads included Thomas W. Harris, Robert J. Levine, and Jack Ransohoff. At the head of the com- bined staffs was the newly formed Executive Committee consisting of the editor in chief, the business man- ager, and the faculty representative. Mr. Hayden Norwood, a professional journalist and author of several books and short stories, served as the fac- ulty representative. Top Row: Vogel, Cornog, Young, Armstrong.

It was establisKed at LeKigK in 1920, and today is found in colleges and universities through- out the country. At the Lehigh Chapter, Pi Delta Epsilon strives to bring about closer and more harmonious relations among all publications, since Pi Delts are represented on all campus pub- lications. Through this closer rela- tionship, many differences can be overcome and campus publications improved. Combined meetings were held with both Moravian College for Men and Moravian College for Women, and in the future a meeting is planned for all the Pi Delt chap- ters in the Lehigh Valley district. The Lehigh Chapter has also extended an invitation to hold the national con- vention at Lehigh in 1948. Pi Delta Epsilon is honored to have Dale H. Gramley, Editor of the Bethlehem Globe-Times, as the president of the national chapter. Men such as Mr. Gramley often visit the local chapter, and it is through their talks that much is done to improve Lehigh publications. Twelve students and two faculty members were initiated last fall, and it is hoped that the newspaper hats of prospective Pi Delts will soon be a common sight in Drown Hall.

GRANTLAND RICE THE year 1947 may go down in the dooks as tne turning point in Lehigh ' s long chmh to lootDall glory. For the first time in rive years, the Engineers finished the season on the right side of a 5-4 record. Bill Leckonby, ably assisted by coaches White, Christian, and Dockham, did a fine job in fielding a righting club which was a credit to the school. Three of Lehigh s four defeats were at the hands of Eastern powerhouses, and at no time did the Engineers stop fighting in these contests. The biggest disappointment came at the end of the season when the Brown and White failed to halt the Leopards eleven game winning streak. Each Lehigh opponent knew it had been in a battle, and there is no doubt on South Mountain that Lehigh at last is on its way back to the top. Playing before the largest open- ing day crowd in the history of Cor- nell, the Lehigh University squad was downed, 27-0, by a power-laden Big Red machine at Ithaca. Cornell, rive deep in reserve strength, w as simply out of the engineers ' class, but Lehigh ' s first quarter perform- ance will long be remembered. All through the game, there were signs of outstanding performance. Jim Case s brilliant 45-yard kickoff re- turn heads the list. Russ Jones was a stalwart at tackle. Gus LaSasso was ever alert, pouncing twice on opponent fumbles. Far Bast kept the team out of danger consistently with booming punts. The Engineers opened their home season with an impressive 21-6 vic- tory over Case. Scoring late in the first period and then countering twice in the closing minutes of the game, Lehigh whipped the Engineers from Cleveland before 7,000 fans to mark the 250th victory for the Brown and W hite in 63 years of collegiate foot- ball. Tom Fisher raced 65 yards for the first score of the game when Jim Case took a punt and handed Fisher the ball on a perfectly ex- ecuted reverse play. Case Institute scored three minutes before halftime on a brilliant 40-yard pass play. Fumbles and stiffening defenses pre- vented both teams from scoring in the third period. Once again. Bast ' s punts put the Lehigh eleven out of danger several times. In the fourth period, Mike Murray intercepted a Case pass and skirted to the enemy ' s 24-yard line. A Dolph W alter pass to Andy Morris brought the ball to the 1 0. Johnny Berdan then passed to Ed Sprang in the end zone for the second score. With only one minute to play, Murray again pulled down a Case pass and returned it to the visitor ' s 10. On the second play, Al Abramovitz shot an aerial to big Gus LaSasso, who stepped over from the one yard line. Russ Jones converted twice, and Howie Kress, once to complete a perfect afternoon. On the following Saturday, the Engineers, with many loyal sup- porters, traveled to Philadelphia. 357 41 f 30 16 r THE 1947 FOOTBALL SQUAD: Top Row: Coach Leckonby, End Coach Christian, Line Coach White, Backfield Coach Dockham, and Trainer Mann.

LeKigK ran roughsnod over Drexel TecK ' s Golden Dragons but tallied only once and Kad to settle lor a 7-0 victory. Dom Navarro electrified tKe crovv d early in the tKird period wken ke gathered in a Drexel punt on Kis own 28, faked a lateral to FisKer, nimbly side-stepped tacklers, picked up good blocking, and dasned 72 yards down tKe sideline for the lone score of the day. Russ Jones place-kicked the extra point. In win- ning her second straight game of the season, the Brown and White did everything in large numbers ex- cept score. Numerous penalties and fumbles greatly aided the Drexel defenders in keeping the score down. Another Lehigh score was called back on a penalty as Gus LaSasso stole the ball from a Drexel passer and ran 66 yards for a touchdown. Lehigh next traveled to Gettysburg for what proved to be one of the sea- son s best thrillers, a 9-7 victory for the Brown and White.— its third straight. The first quarter featured an exchange of punts and a fine run- back Cervino of Gettysburg. A Gettysburg fumble on the Lehigh 28 stalled the first scoring threat. The Bullets again threatened when Cer- vino broke away for 30 yards before Johnny Berdan hauled him down 358 from benind. In me second quarter, Lehign began to move. A neautiful punt Dy Bast lanaed on tne one- yard line. A Gettysburg back picked the ball up and was immediately bit by LaSasso and spun back into tbe end zone wbere Jones and Morris tackled bim, tbus giving Lebigb a safety and a 2-0 lead. In tbe tbird period, Fisber stepped tbrougb tbe line and broke into tbe clear for a 75-yard toucbdown gallop wbicb was nullified by a backfield-in-mo- tion penalty. Tbe Gettysburg toucb- down was set up by a bad pass from center on fourtb down on tbe Lebigb 17. A well executed triple reverse resulted in Wileman scoring for tbe Bullets. In tbe fourtb period, Fisber scored for Lebigb from tbe 3-yard line after a 40 yard marcb in wbicb eacb Lebigb man was instrumental. Russ Jones converted to complete tbe scoring. A last period field goal attempt by Gettysburg from tbe Le- bigb 8 was low and wide, and tbe Brown and Wbite continued on its winning way. Lebigb traveled to New Bruns- wick tbis year for tbeir annual game witb tbe Scarlet. Rutgers, a major powder in tbe East, was just too mucb for tbe scrappy Brown and Wbite, wbo found tbemselves on tbe sbort end of a 46-13 licking. However, tbe macbine-Iike execution of tbe single w ing by tbe Queensmen failed to eclipse a brilliant 83-yard toucb- down gallop by Bill Heck, wbicb was tbe bigbligbt of tbe day for tbe Engineer supporters. Rutgers clincbed tbe game in tbe second quarter, scoring four quick toucb- downs, and from tben on, it was just a question of trying to keep tbe score down. Nevertbeless, Lebigb came out after tbe first balf witb plenty of figbt and sbowed a good Lehigh Scores at Gettysburg! 359 passing attack whicn resulted in the final score or the game -a long pass from Freuna to Morano. Against MuKIenberg, Lehigh played its finest game of the season. The Mules, a four touchdown favor- ite, needed every Dreak to topple the Engineers, who were definitely up for this annual game. A crowd of more than 10,000 witnessed the 21- 14 thriller in Taylor Stadium. In the first period, the hard-charging and deadly-tackling Engineers repeated- ly kept the play in the visitor s terri- tory. Far Bast provided the big thrill with his spiraling punt of 69 yards. Navarro in action Early in the second period, Jim Case recovered a second Mule fumble on their 40, but the Brown and White could not start their offensive on the ground. After an exchange of punts, however, the home team hit its stride and registered the first score of the game. Two passes by Joe Scannella, one to Case and the other to La- Sasso, gave Lehigh a nrst down on the Muhlenberg 50. On the next play. Case faked a run around his right end and then threw an aerial to Andy Morris, who took it on the 10 and tallied unmolested. Co-cap- tain Russ Jones split the up-rights for a 7-0 lead. The first Muhlenberg score came on an 18-yard sprint by Bell after he had set the Mules roll- ing with some fancy passing. The Mules pulled ahead, 14-7, when their kickoff bounced crasily, eluding the Lehigh backs before Tolosky, a Muhlenberg end, pounced upon it on the Brown and White 3-yard line. Sikorski scored on the next play. Five plays after the second- half kickoff, Lehigh knotted the score on Scannella s pass to Heck, with Jones place-kicking the tying point. The Engineers advanced as far as the Mule 28 and 16 on two other occasions in the third period, but each time their attack stalled. A field goal attempt by Jones in the fourth period also was to no avail. From here, the Mules started to roll. Russ Strait, brawny Mule fullback, paced a 76-yard march to victory in the closing minutes of the final period. Bouncing back from two consecu- tive defeats, tke Engineers trounced tke United States Mercnant Marine Academy from King ' s Point, 20-6, in tKe mud before a loyal House- party crowd. In the first period, a King s Point punt nit one of tne Mariners in tne back and rebounded to tbe two-yard line wbere LeKigK took over. Previously, Bast s 84-yard punt bad put tbe Mariners in tbis bole. Bill Heck plunged over on tbe following play to start tbings mov- ing. Not long after, Jobnny Berdan took a pass from Joe Scannella on tbe visitor s 27 for a first down. Ber- dan tben took a lateral on tbe next play, faked an end run, and beaved a perfect pass diagonally across tbe field to Andy Morris in tbe end zone. King s Point scored in tbe tbird period following a Lebigb fumble. Tbe score came on an end run from tbe 10-yard line. Lebigb came rigbt back wben tbe Mariner safety man fumbled a Bast punt and tbe ever- alert Russ Jones scooped it in. Ber- dan scored tbree plays later from tbe four-yard line. Tbe Engineers started slow but bit tbeir stride in tbe final period of tbe Carnegie Tecb game at Forbes Field, Pittsburgb. Tecb took an early lead on a safety after a Lebigb in- terception, and tbe Engineers from tbe Smoky City managed to bang on desperately to tbeir 2-0 lead tbrougbout tbe first balf. Early in tbe tbird period, tbe Brown and Wbite decided tbat it was tbeir turn and a perfect pass from Joe Kubar to Ed Sprang, wbo caugbt it in tbe clear and raced 55 yards to pay dirt, started tbe Big Brown on tbe way to victory. In tbe final period, tbe Lebigb attack began to function and tbe visitors tallied tbree quick scores. Tom Fisber carried across from tbe two-yard line for tbe second toucb- down, climaxing a 52-yard drive spearbeaded by bard-bitting Joe Kubar. Minutes later. Bill Heck in- Scannella moves in for the tackle tercepted a TecK pass on the Tartan 42. Navarro skirtea right end for the last 20 yards and the third Le- high talley. Shortly after, Shipley in- tercepted another aerial. A few plays later, Kress rifled a short pass to Morris, who sped 40 yards unmo- lested for the final score. One con- version by Jones and two by Kress aided Lehigh in winning its fifth game of the campaign, 27-2. Lehigh closed its season with its traditional rival from Easton, and again it was a sad day for the Brown and White as they ended up on the short end of a 7-0 count. Coach LecKonby s men were fighting all the way, but just didn t have the physi- cal equipment to cope with the run- ning of Frank Stanczak and the passing of Frank Downing. The Bast slows up a play Engineers lone threat came in the closing minutes of the second quar- ter when some fine running by Joe Kuhar and Tom Fisher and a long pass from Scannella to LaSasso brought the Brown and White in- side the Lafayette 1 0. However, with a third down and two yards to go, Lehigh elected to take to the air and two passes were grounded, ending our threat. Lafayette scored on a 25-yard pass from Stanczak to Say- lor, who caught the ball and scam- pered over the goal line with nary a hand touching him. Now that the season is over, Le- high men must take their hats off to co-captains Russ Jones and Bill Heck. Their leadership was an in- spiration to the team. Bob Numbers, Lehigh ' s great center, deserves great credit for stopping many enemy thrusts. The name of Forrest Bast will always be associated with great punting. His booming kicks set up many Lehigh scores, and at the con- clusion of the season. Bast s name was at the top of the Eastern punt- ers and second in the nation. Each and every man on the squad de- serves due credit for the season s fine record. The Junior Varsity squad, tutored by Eb Caraway with the assistance of Professor Agocs and Don Ramsey, had difficulty getting under way as the Frosh came from behind to win, 12-6, on Founder ' s Day and Muhl- enberg and Rutgers were also able to register victories in spite of closely fought battles. The jinx finally ended as Rider College was downed, 1 3-0, and the team showed real signs of having improved. The Freshman Rule was reinstated this year and the result was a Fresh- man team that was rated one of the best in the East. Coach Tony Pacl er found such a great amount of talent that he was able to form two equally strong teams. After the Founder ' s Day game, the season officially opened as the little Engineers out- scored Wyoming Seminary, 19-12. Though rain slowed the attack, the Frosh were able to score early and Doyne produced the necessary mar- gin in the third period. Pennington Prep was next to fall, and they were followed by the Rutgers freshman eleven, who were completely over- powered throughout the second half. Perkiomen broke the undefeated record by scoring a touchdown in the The Jones Brothers, Russ and Dick last period, but the men of 51 came back a week later to surprise the La- fayette yearlings in one of the best games seen here in recent years. The Leopards ran up a 19-0 lead early in the first half before Lehigh was able to score. Doyne started things moving in the second period and then Orleman followed suit, with Gratton making the conversions that were to provide the victory. The last Lafayette rally ! ! 365 mam quarter was all Lekigk as Dick Doyne drove across for tne final two Lehigh touchdowns to make tke final score read 28-25.

LEHIGH UNIVERSITY opened its 1947 soccer season on Oc- toDer 6tn against a ravorea Princeton eleven Kere at Steel Field. Captain Herman Mellott tallied the first score of the game, but Prince- ton tied it up in the second period. Then, against a fast-tiring Princeton team, goals were Looted hy Gee Hazelhurst, Ben Collins, and two more by center Mellott to make it 5-1. In addition to this fast moving offensive, outstanding defensive work was shown by all, including goalie Lee Maines twenty-one saves. The following week, the Engineers traveled to Annapolis, and against AIl-American goalie Schaufelberger just couldn t score, coming home on the short end of a 1-0 score. In the next game, against a classy West Chester outfit, Lehigh was outplayed and outscored, 7-0. Journeying to Allentown, the En- gineers again came out on the short end of a 3-1 score against the Mules as captain Mellott scored our only goal midway in the third period. However, our second victory came at Lafayette ' s expense; with Mellott ' s three goals, Ken Hankinson s one, and the flawless footwork of Joe Daga, the Engineers easily con- quered the Leopards, 4-0. In the next contest, the Lehigh men out- classed a strong Haverford squad on slippery Steel Field as Herman Mel- lott booted in the first two and Lou Gabriel the third to completely dom- inate the scoring. But time and time 365 again, fullback Doug Carlton and goalie Cal Hunter Iiad to break up the offensive thrusts of Haverfora before Lehigh could win. Playing a powerful Swarthmore team on their home field, two quick goals by Mellott and Collins were enough for the margin of victory, 2-1 being the final score. The game was very rough with numerous penalties, but fullbacks Gates and Carlton broke up many Swarthmore scoring threats to save the day. On Houseparty weekend, playing the entire game in a driving rain, Lehigh, within one game of a Middle Atlantic Championship, lost to the University of Pennsylvania by a 4-2 score. Although dominating the play the entire second half, the men from South Mountain were not able to push the ball through the goal. Lou Gabriel and Herm Mellott made the two Lehigh scores in the final period. The following week at Ursinus, two goals, one on a beautiful corner kick by Joe Daga and the other a long midheld kick by Wes Kigerise, were enough to win, 2-1. The last game of the season was a hard fought battle between two outstanding de- fensive teams, Rutgers and Lehigh. Although two overtime periods were used, neither team could break the 1-1 tie. Time and time again, both teams were knocking at the scoring gates, but outstanding defensive work by fullbacks and halfbacks alike prevented Rutgers from scor- ing. For our only tally, Mellott dented the nets during the first half. Thus, the Brown and White com- pleted one of the most successful seasons in many years, finishing sec- ond in Middle Atlantic intercollegi- ate competition. Four Lehigh Uni- versity players were selected to play on an All-Collegiate team, including captain Mellott, center forward; Ben Collins, inside left; Gee Hazelhurst, left halfback; and Doug Carlton, right fullback. With the return of Freshman soc- cer competition, AU-American Geza Molnar was signed as coach of the men of ' 51. W ith co-captains Albie Dealman and Rocky Mitchell lead- ing the way, the Freshmen were able to trounce Lafayette and Perkiomen, while losing to Muhlenberg and Liberty High.

THE Lehign cross country team opened its 1947 season against a powerful West Chester TeacKers squad, wKick was able to send rive men across the nnisn line before Benner and Stone could score for Lenign. Travenng to Princeton later that week, the team was un- able to do much better, but was hampered by several injuries. At Lancaster against Franklin and Mar- shall, the order of finish was exactly as at Princeton, with Stone, Benner, Eisenhauer, Bowley, and Geyer scor- ing in that order, but several of the Brown and White men showed marked improvement. A few days later, the team broke into the win- ning column as Stone and Benner topped the Held in spite of a drizzling rain. W ith the support of other Le- high runners, who allowed Muhlen- berg only one place in the first five, the Brown and W hite harriers out- ran the Mules, 19-36. Rutgers turned that score around in the next contest as Norm Stone and John Bowley led the Engineers in but had to be sat- isfied with fourth and fifth places respectively. Returning to their home course, on vhich they seemed to fair much better throughout the entire season, the harriers made Drexel their sec- ond victims to the tune of 18-37, Dick Benner took first honors with Ike Eisenhauer showing great promise close behind him while Geyer, Stone, and Herder copped the next three Lehigh positions. Fol- lowing this, a hotly contested tri- angular meet at Swarthmore saw 367 LekigK relegated to tKird place as Gettysburg was able to underscore us by one point, even tnougn Bowley finisbed less tban a minute bebind tbe leaders. Tbe rinal results read Swartbmore 25, Gettysburg 48, and Lebigb 49. Anotber close battle ended as tbe Haverford runners un- derscored tbe Brown and Wbite in tbe first or tbe Houseparty weeKend contests. Lebigb sbowed a well-bal- anced team as all five placers romped bome in close order, but too many Haverford men bad already crossed tbe line. In a field or 15 colleges, Lebigb did exceptionally well, beat- ing several scbools tbat bad beaten us in dual meet competition, as tbey placed sixtb in tbe Middle Atlantic Cross Country cbampionsbips. Diet Benner finisbed 16tb among tbe 82 runners witb tbe good time of 24 minutes and 41.7 seconds for tbe difficult 4V4 mile course at Mublen- berg, witb Bowley, Geyer, Herder, and Stone rounding out tbe Lebigb scoring. Tbe Lafayette meet closed tbe season for coacb Yarbro ' s men, and it was tbe closest contest of tbe year, witb tbe Maroon coming out on top, 26-29, in spite of Bowley, Herder, Geyer, and Stone finisbing 5-6-7-8, led by Benner s tbird place. Even witb tbe results for tbe season not being tbe best possible, tbe Le- bigb barriers sbowed a great amount of teamwork and figbt and, as in- dicated by tbe close order at tbe finisb line, eacb man was willing to belp bis teammates wbenever tbe going was tougb. Tbe Fresbman team sbowed good prospects for next year as Robert Allen gave even tbe Varsity a great deal of competition in practice and Harold Berlin, Stan Moore, and Francis Manley consistently turned in good times. Against West Cbes- ter, tbe Frosb sbowed tbeir strengtb and came out victorious, 25-55. Tbe Princeton squad was too mucb for tbem, but Mublenberg was smotb- ered as tbe little Engineers provided a tbree-way tie for first and garnered tbe first eigbt places witb ease. Rut- gers nosed tbe Lebigb fresbmen out by tbree points in spite of Allen ' s first place, but Lafayette was con- quered by a one point margin, 27- 28, to close tbe season.

LEHIGH s famed Eastern Inter- collegiate championsKip wres- tling squad, returned practically intact from last year, took upon itself one of the most difficult wrestling schedules ever concocted by the ath- letic department. In place of the usu- al warm-up meet before the Christ- mas vacation, the grapplers entertain- ed the University of Pennsylvania, who boasted of a team much improv- ed from last year. After an exciting two ring circus consisting of the freshmen and junior varsity matches had been concluded, the main attrac- tion of the evening began, featuring Pilgrim McRaven and the Erickson brothers with their pinning combina- tions. Paul Jani opened the season with a decision for the Engineers, McRaven garnered the first pin early in the third period, and Gee Hazle- hurst, John Morgan, and Don Berndt also won decisions. Veteran Ken Haydock of the Quakers was too much for Joe Burns and scored Penn s only points, but the Brown and White hardly noticed that as the scoring reached 27-3. Virginia Military Academy step- ped into an early lead in the opening meet of the New Year as their unde- feated 121 -pound wrestler, Fred Moyer, pinned Jani one second be- fore the close of the second period. McRaven soon evened the score as, wrestling once more at 128, he swarmed over his opponent and finally found the right pinning com- bination, a time-worn crotch and half nelson. Dick Kelsey returned to the mats after an illness to show the ag- 369 gressiveness and pin-ability tnat had marked his bouts the previous year, and Eric Erikson, Erank Martin, and Tiny Berndt followed his example with point-gathering falls. Joe Burns came from behind to win a decision at 145 and Ed Erikson took command at the start of his 165-pound bout but had to be satisfied with a 9-1 verdict. Thus, the Cadets were repulsed, 51-5, in one of the fastest-moving meets of the season. Eurther boosting their string of vic- tories, the Brown and White traveled to New Haven to swamp Yale, 22-6. After four bouts, the score was tied at 6 all, but Lehigh ' s Murderer s Row then swung into action and made quick work of their Eli oppo- nents as Ed Erikson and Don Berndt both gathered second period pins. Bruce Hinlein lost a close 5-2 deci- sion at 1 2 1 and Joe Burns was defeat- ed by Bill Niewenhous, brother of Lehigh s former EIWA champion, but McRaven, Kelsey, and Eric Erik- son all won decisive victories before the meet was ove r. Another of the East s best squads fell by the wayside as the Brown and White invaded Ithaca and returned victorious by a 26-10 count. Once again, the opening half of the meet was deceiving as Cornell led, 10-8, after the 145-pound match. Mc- Raven moved down to his former 121 class and opened the meet with a pin, but Joe Calby of Cornell coun- tered by pinning Herm Bastianelli. Kelsey then decisioned his opponent, but Andrew Matthes lost a heart- breaker by being pinned in an over- time period. After letting things get this far out of control, Eric Erikson THE l947- ' 48 WRESTLING TEAM: Top Row. Coack SKeridan, Ed Erikson, Berndt. Jacksun, Mor- gan, Martin, Manager Oldroyd.

Cap- tain Jim Jackson, wrestling his first meet of the season, provided a fourth pin and Berndt closed the meet with a close 4-3 decision after going into overtime periods. Returning to Grace Hall, the En- gineers pleased the local spectators with a decisive 26-10 victory over Penn State. The Nittany Lions pro- vided plenty of competition, however, as is always the case in the Lehigh- Penn State matches. McRaven scored a fall with only one second to spare in the opening bout, and addi- tional pins were contributed by Dick Kelsey and Tiny Berndt, but Herm Bastianelli and Andy Matthes found themselves on the bottom in spite of fierce battles. The Eriksons out- classed their Blue and White oppo- nents by wide margins and Frank Martin won by a forfeit at 175 after the State grappler valiently tried to continue after a second period injury. Franklin and Marshall s strong team provided Lehigh with its first real battle of the season before suc- cumbing, 19-1 3. The evening started with a great disappointment for the Lehigh fans that packed the Diplo- mats gymnasium as Pilgrim Mc- Raven was upset by F. and M. s Schell in two overtime periods. Bas- tianelh found himself in difficulty in the 1 28-pound class and Andy Mat- thes was also pinned. Kelsey easily decisioned Captain Joe Galego in what was expected to be the bout of the evening, and both Eriksons won decisions, but it was not until Jim Jackson went to work with his cross- body ride that Lehigh produced a pin. George LaSasso then assured the Brown and White of its victory 371 Ed Erikson displays his champion s form. tKeke ight by winning a pin in ttie neavyweij division. Continuing on tneir winning w ays, the Brown ana White grapplers set aown a highly-toutea unaereatea Syracuse squad, 20-6, to extend their string to ten straight triumphs. Mc- Raven and Bastianeln had nttle trouble in gaining decisions, tut Dick Kelsey, troubled by a cold, lost his first bout in intercollegiate competi- tion as Joe Settani racked up a 12-4 lead. Matthes also lost before Eric and Ed Erikson were able to put Le- high out of danger. Jim Jackson pro- duced the only fall of the evening as he pleased the capacity crowd with his well-known tactics. A power-laden Navy team ex- tended its winning streak to 45 con- secutive dual meet victories at the ex- pense of the Brown and White grap- plers. Lehigh began well as Mc- Raven won a decision and Herm Bas- tianelli added three more points to the total in another of the scrappy bouts for which he is known. Meeting de- fending champion Wayne Smith at 136, Kelsey was unable to maintain any advantage and Navy scored its ftrst points of the afternoon. Don W areck, wrestling his first bout for the Engineers, found himself in trouble from the start and before time had run out in the first period, the Midshipmen had stepped into an 372 8-6 lead. The crowd that packed Dahlgren Hall went wild as John Fletcher, former 145 EIWA cham- pion, showed the ability that had won him the outstanding wrestler aw ard last year at New Haven by pinning Eric Erikson early in the sec- ond period. Wrestling under the new rules, Ed Erikson was unable to score enough points and his match ended in a heart-breaking draw, leav- ing Lehigh behind, 1 5-8. The crowd pleaded for Jim Jackson to provide the fall that might save the meet, but Jim could gain only three points. Newbold Smith of Navy gained a slight point advantage and then stayed out of Tiny Berndt s way in the final bout to assure Navy ' s vic- tory. The junior varsity wrestling team had to be satisfied with splitting its first two meets of the season as it dropped a spirited battle to the Penn jayvees, 19-13, and then came out on top in a close Penn State match, 16 14. In the opener, Welliver and Szvetecz produced pins and Andy Matthes won a decision but the Phil- adelphians easily won most of the other bouts. In the preliminary State meet, Jani won a pin after a fast, close bout and Gus LaSasso provid- ed another after a fast reversal early in the second period to account for the majority of the points. Pilgrim McRaven and family 373 Coach Billy Sheridans freshmen team did not fair much Letter, win- ning only three of their first Hve matches, but the men of 5 1 have pro- duced several exceptional wrestlers to fill in the open varsity positions next year. With Mike Filipos, John Ma- honey, and Carl Zipf winning falls and Murphy, a decision, the frosh outscored the Penn yearlings, 18-16, but Wyoming Seminary and F. M. proved too strong and it was not until they met Perkiomen that the yearlings returned to the top. Then, with Col- lins at 121 leading the way with a 1 : 58 pin and Mahoney and Dimmig also supplying falls, the visitors were swamped, 26-7. Against Blair the following week, they faired equally well as Tom Dimmig and John Ma- Gus LaSasso works honey lead the team to a 23-10 vic- tory.

A fight and near riot marked the Brown and White s sixth straight loss, produced by Scranton Univer- sity. In the second half, Lehigh closed the gap of a halftime 20 point bulge, but still finished with a ten point deficit. George Husovsky and Char- lie Geoly, fjelore his injured leg gave out at the half, paced the Engineers scoring. Before five thousand fans in a twin bill at Philadelphia s Convention Hall, Lehigh dropped a heart-break- ing 54-53 thriller to Drexel Tech. The Brown and White, having trailed throughout the contest, suddenly caught nre in the closing minutes. With Charlie Geoly leading the at- tack, the Engineers forged ahead, 53- 5 1 , with less than a minute to play. Then a foul and a long set shot dampened the Engineers hopes and brought defeat upon the gallant team. Early in January, Coach Tony Packer unveiled his much talked about Freshmen basketball squad with the Muhlenberg yearlings pro- 377 viding tke opposition. Paced by Dick Gratton and AI Walker, tke little Engineers came roaring Dack in tne second naif to overcome a 10 point Mule lead and walked off victoriously in their initial contest, 43-41. Walker s 20 points, aided by tke team s accurate set snooting, resulted in a decisive 59-43 win for tne Brown and White in their contest against Pennington Prep. A few days later, the score was duplicated as the Frosh continued their winning ways with Tom Dowdell pacing the victory over Perkiomen Prep. Dickinson, 56-50, and W yoming Seminary, 64-52, both fell by the wayside when they met the Lehigh yearlings. The Dick- inson game was a thriller with the lead changing hands many times. Ed Vidoni can be cited for his outstand- ing work at the guard position. W ith five straight wins to their credit, the Frosh welcomed Lafayette to Grace Hall with high hopes of repeating the upset inflicted the pre- vious Fall in football. George Love s playmaking and Lafayette s control of the backboards, due to the tower- ing height of their team, were too much for the undefeated yearlings, however, and they were handed a 65- 56 setback in spite of the exceptional playing of Walker, Gratton, and the entire squad. At Lancaster two days later, the Lehigh freshmen smashed back into the victory column as they crushed Franklin and Marshall, 75-26. The men of 51 then lost a heart-breaker to Rutgers by one point. The Brown and W hite, with Rick Collins and Tom VanVertloh pacing the attack, built up an 11 -0 lead before the as- tonished Rutgers team started to click. The Scarlet then caught fire and passed the Engineers, holding the lead well into the fourth quarter. W ith less than a minute to play, the score was deadlocked at 48 all. In the closing seconds of play, Rutgers slipped in the winning basket and at the whistle, the scoreboard read 50- 49. Once again the Frosh bounced back and put Drexel to rout, this time, 66-42, for the seventh victory. The yearlings had things under con- trol at all times in the small Drexel gym as they opened up with fast breaks and accurate set shots to run up the score. With the season draw- ing to a close, the basketball picture for the future looks much brighter with this great squad that Tony Packer has developed so well this season.

Entering their first Middle Atlantic meet of the season after the beginning of the Spring semester, the Engineers took only four first places against Dickin- son but piled up the necessary points to win, 44-31 , by annexing seven sec- ond places and three thirds. Dick Mesirov paced the winners with eight points, garnered with a first in the 200-yard breaststroke and a second in the 220-yard free style event.

Front Ron;: Walker, Eisel, Roundtree, Borgeson, Walter, Phillips, Walter, McKay, Jackson. WITH a nucleus of six return- ing lettermen, a group of spirited LeKigK students under the tutelage of Cfiarles Sim- mons, opened LehigK s 1948 hockey season on New Year s Day, com- peting in the Hamilton Invitational Tournament. Having had only four days of practice before the Christmas vacation, the Engineers, though lack- ing in size and experience, made a game attempt against a superior Hamilton team but lost, 17-3. Two goals by Sanborn, on assists by Cash- man, and one goal by Cashman, as- sisted by Sanborn, made up the total of three points for Lehigh. On Janu- ary 2nd, the score was again consid- erably one-sided, with Middlebury College winning, 22-0, to set a new intercollegi ate scoring record. On the third day of the tournament, the men from South Mountain showed much better form and provided a real battle before losing to Union College by the comparatively close score of 3-0. After the Christmas vacation was brought to a close, the team again journeyed to Hamilton, this time los- ing by a 1 5-0 score. A week later, the Engineers played their first game or the season at the Al-Beth rink but were defeated by a rugged New York Athletic Club squad, 8-0. With prac- tice at the rink limited to short periods in the early evenings and travel diffi- 581 culties to contend witK, tKe Lekigh stickmen kad trouble working to- gether, but the defensive abilities of goalie Luke McKay prevented many scores. In the first period of the home match with Hamilton, most of the play was in front of the Lehigh cage but the New York squad could net only two goals. However, after wear- ing the Engineers down, they were able to run the score up to 1 3-0. With Lehigh playing perhaps their best game of the season, Georgetown University was only able to edge out a 4-2 victory in the next match. The Brown and White went into an early lead as Center Harris Gates put one past the Hoyas goalie unassisted, and three minutes later, Tom Cashman scored on a pass from Bob Campbell to put Lehigh back in the lead, 2-1. However, Georgetown soon tied it up and then pushed two more goals through the net in the last eight minutes to climax the scoring. Lehigh next engaged the Black Knights of Army at the Point. Goals by Borgeson, unassisted, and Cashman, assisted by Bernicker, added up to Lehigh s two points as the W est Pointers played some spirited hockey to produce a 12-2 vic- tory. Journeying to Georgetown early the next week, the Lehigh stickmen were again defeated by the Hoyas, 7-1. Perhaps the outstanding play of the day was the unassisted goal by Gene Bernicker with three seconds left in the final period. Still striving for their initial win, the Lehighmen played host to the Harrison Maple Leafs at the AI-Beth rink. With the lead changing several times, the third frame began with the Maple Leafs leading, 3-2, and a belated Lehigh drive failed to score enough points as the game closed, 5-4, in spite of two quick goals by Cashman and Camp- bell.

Bill Poland and Joe Clement came through with victories in the saber bouts after Lehigh had been shut out in the foils. The only other point scored by the Engineers was won by W einberg in his epee bout. In the next meet, Lehigh bowed to Valley Forge Military Academy. The foilsmen, showing unexpected 382 THE 1948 FENCING SQUAD: Top Row.- Wach- tel, Lawler, Korkegi, Rupp, Poland, Coach Cabjos.

This put the burden or winning on the shoulders of the epee team. The start was good; Wachtel won; Weinberg won; Wachtel won again. However, the more experienced Valley Forge epee men were too much for the Engineers and the score ended 15-12. Temple and Lehigh are old rivals across the fencing strip. This was almost Lehigh ' s year to bring home the victory. Before going down, the Engineers put on a sensational fight that left the decision in doubt until the last few bouts. The Philadel- phians started strongly by taking the foils, 7-2, as only Poland could gar- ner points for Lehigh. Then the epee team put on the season s stellar per- formance by shutting out the Temple men, 9-0, with Wachtel, W einberg, and Lawler carrying off the honors. The South Mountaineers had to win only three saber bouts to carry their first win since 1942 back to Bethle- hem. However, a determined and skillful Temple squad decreed other- wise and the Lehigh Doug Fair- banks ' were set down, 16-1 1 . Weakened by the loss of Ed Wachtel, Lehigh dropjied a 1 5 ' 2- 1 1 ' 2 decision to Haverford College. The Brown and White held its own 383 A match in Grace Hall in tke epee matcKes witK Lawler and Weinberg eack winning twice. The foil team tKen lost, 6-3, in spite of Captain Bob Korkegi ' s two wins.

SHORTLY after the CKristmas recess, tKe LeKigK sKarpsKoot- ers dustea tneir bores, adjustea tkeir slings, ana stepped up to the fir- ing line to start the 1948 season. Tne opening matcn was a snoulder-to- snoulder engagement witfi Rutgers at Lamterton Hall. TKe Brown and White marksmen dropped a close de- cision to the Scarlet, 1322-1315. with Scanlon taking top honors for the home squad. In the second match, the Midshipmen of the U. S. Naval Academy traveled from Annapolis to hand the Engineers a 1355-1325 set- back. Bob Parkinson and Scanlon turned in the top scores for the Brown and White. In the first varsity postal match, the crack rifle team from Michigan State College turned back the Engineers, 1403-1338, although the Lehigh squad continued to show improve- ment. The following match found V.P.I, on the top of a 1369-1357 score, but then Lehigh broke into the winning column by turning back Gettysburg, 1357-1193. In addition to Scanlon and Parkinson, credit is due to Ward and Needles, two of 385 LeKigh s best marksmen. The opening ROTC postal match found tKe Brown and WKite pitted against far-off Oregon State. The Westerners were too much for the local team as they racked up a 3529- 341 3 win. Parkinson and Needles led the Lehigh soldiers in this contest.

However, this was not a poor show- ing, for 21 colleges had their best men in the field. As in past years, it was the field event men who ac- counted for a large portion of the Engineers points and indeed, all of Lehigh s points in the Middle At- lantics came from the efforts of the neldmen, but there was more than one outstanding runner to add to the scoring in the various meets. After the Frosh had shown their strength by easily winning the inter- class meet, and annual preseason competition. Coach Dan Yarbro s men traveled to Gettysburg for the opening meet. There, the Brown and White scored in every event and took seven hrst place honors to nearly double Muhlenberg ' s second place score and Gettysburg was left in last place as the scoring ran Lehigh - 80 y4, Muhlenberg 41 4 Gettys- burg - 32. Ted Franck won both the 100 and 220 with Baker not far behind, Nimmo and Given tied for first in the high jump, Russ Jones took the shot, and Stone, Geyer, and Baker were among the other Lehigh firsts. In Philadelphia the following week, Lehigh barely nosed out Swarthmore and Temple as Carl Reetz and a Temple man saved the day in the javelin throw, the last event of the afternoon, by taking the necessary points away from Swarth- more. The century vv as also a close factor as, after having it finish in a dead heat on the first running, it was rerun and Franck vas barely ahead of the field, with all four oth- ers tying for second.

Twelve first places out of fourteen events, with no worse than a second and third in any were too much for the Dragons, and to show their strength even more, Lehigh swept both the half mile and the 220-yard dash. Traveling to West Chester the next weekend, Lehigh found a strong Teachers team too much for them and had to rely on the field events to garner most of their points, while Drexel was hardly even no- ticed in the triangular affair. Eric Erikson led the pole vault, Russ Jones the shot, Don Brownlee the discus, and Stu Nimmo and John Given the high jump to make up nearly half the Brown and White ' s total score. Lafayette and a strong wind were too much for the Lehigh thin-clads as Art Horning was the only Lehigh runner to take a first and Jones, Brownlee, and Horning captured undisputed firsts in their field events.

Altfiougb tbe Brown and Wbite out-bit N.Y.U., tbe Violets garnered tbe second game of tbe sea- son, 6-5, on an error in tbe eigbtb inning. Undaunted, tbe Engineers, again led by Lefty Greenamoyer ' s superb pitcbing wbicb allowed only five men to reacb first base and none to see second, easily sbutout F. and M., 9-0, as Jake Pearsall and Andy Smitb eacb produced tbree runs. Continuing in tbe winning column, Lebigb bad a big sixtb inning against Bucknell and came out on top, 3-2, aided by Conway s ten strike-outs in bis first game for Lebigb. Jake Pearsall s bomerun was tbe decid- ing score in tbis tbird victory at Steel Field. Tbe next day, bowever, Dela- ware came from bebind to win and started a four-game losing streak for tbe Engineers. Rutgers overcame a 3-2 lead witb a nintb inning rally, Lafayette easily won an error-riddled 389 contest in the 84th renewal or the series played before a capacity crowd on Babe Ruth Day, and Navy came irom behind to eke out a 4-2 victory before Lehigh was able to gain an- other victory. This win came at Muhlenberg s expense as Bob Lobell pitched and Pearsall led the scoring in a close 6-4 game at Steel Field. The next week, the Mules came back to split the series with an 8-5 win as Lehigh was unable to overcome the lead set up by four Muhlenberg tallies in the fourth inning. Playing Gettys- burg before a large houseparty crowd, Greenamoyer struck out eleven men and Molnar, Kress, an d Collins each scored, but it was not enough and the Brown and White succumbed to a 4-3 loss. Rutgers took the lead early in the next contest and it was not until near the close of the game that the Engineers were able to avert a shutout when Greena- moyer was batted in to score the lone Lehigh run. Lafayette then closed their series with a 3-1 victory in a spirited game which ended as Le- high loaded the bases with no outs but was unable to score anyone but Serman. The next and last Lehigh victim was Drexel, but the Brown and White were extended to ten innings before Bob Lobell was able to score the final run. Geza Molnar and Gar Jones both rang up three hits and Lehigh men easily out-slugged the Dragons and Lobell did a good job on the mound, but they had difficulty in producing runs. The Black Knights of Army were too much for the En- gineers in their last trip and the score was run up to 12-2 with Lehigh ' s only two runs being made by Collins and Kress on Andy Smith ' s line drive single in the fourth frame. The next day, the Brown and W hite re- turned home to meet Swarthmore in a postponed game and while prac- tically everyone got hits, Lobell was the only one to score and Swarth- more won, 4-1. A strong Villanova team then brought the season to a close with an extremely close game which was won in the sixth inning when the W ildcats made two hits off of Petrone to score their second run. Scannela made the lone Lehigh score on a single by Howie Kress, and a last inning rally failed in spite of Andy Smith ' s hitting.

Coacn Billy Sheri- dan ' s men started poorly by drop- ping their first five games before starting to click. In the latter part of the season, the team showed vast improvement and were able to close with a record of three wins against seven losses. April 4th was opening day at Taylor Stadium, and a powerful R.P.I, team provided the opposition. The Brown and White played an excellent game, but were outscored by a more experienced Rensselaer team, 12-5. Harry Meyerhoff scored the first lacrosse goal for Lehigh in the 1947 season. In an extremely rough game, the Orange and Blue of Syracuse were too much for the Lehigh men, winning 9-1. Meyerhoff scored the lone Lehigh tally. On con- secutive weeks, Stevens and Swarth- more were also victorious over the Brown and White, while Captain Harry Lynn was Lehigh ' s chief scorer. Lehigh next met the Montclair A.C. in what proved to be one of the most exciting games of the en- tire season. At the half, Lehigh 391 The lacrosse squad holds a practice game. trailed 4-0. TKe second Kalf was fea- tured Dy a series or tnrills wnicn saw several LenigK rallies fall snort, in- cluding three goals in the last few minutes of play. The final score was 12-8, with Montclair winning. Ben Collins was top scorer. Lehigh s first victory came when Lynn s four goals paced the Brown and White to a 6-4 victory over Union. Jay Sullivan, Lehigh goalie, broKe up many scoring attempts of the Dutchmen, particularly in their scoring spurt early in the second half, and saved the day for the Engineers. Before a large houseparty crowd, Lehigh reached its top form of the season ty trouncing a favored Rut- gers team, 5-2. Collins once again paced the scorers with Meyerhoff, Hardy, and Lynn each adding a tally. From there, Lehigh went on to its third straight victory by defeating Drexel, 7-2, with Schrader and Col- lins sparking the scoring. The En- gineers almost made it four in a row , but Penn fought off a second half rally to win by one point. In the final game of the season, Loyola and the June heat were too much for Lehigh, who dropped a 10-5 decision. Ben Collins was the season s high scorer for Lehigh and was given first string honors on the All-State la- 392 crosse team. Captain Harry Lynn and Rudy Vincenti, wKo played out- standing games tnrougnout the en- tire season, were cnosen for second string LertKs.

Due to inclement weather, the game was actually the Engineers first practice of the sea- son outside of occasional practice on the hand-ball court; because of this, we came out on the short end of a 7-2 score. For Lehigh ' s two points. Jack DeHuff won his singles match while Ray Stauffer teamed with Bob Arnold to win the second point. The following week, still unable to prac- tice, the Brown and White was routed by both Princeton and David- son, 9-0, and against a superior Haverford team, the situation was similar, this time the score being 7-2. On the 2nd of May, the team broke into the win column for the first time by thoroughly drubbing a weak Penn State College of Optometry team by a score of 9-0. The second victory, an 8-1 triumph, was over a weak Drexel squad. Following this win, the netmen traveled to N.Y.U. for their third consecutive victory, a re- peat of the previous match. On May 16th, Rutgers traveled here to Steel Field, only to go home with a 5-4 defeat. Ernest, Townsend, and Mell- inger earned Lehigh victories in their singles, while Meyer and Ernest and Mellinger and Stauffer teamed to win the fourth and fifth points for the Engineers, the latter being the last and deciding match. Victory number five was tender pickings for us with another 8-1 win 393 over a nelpless Lafayette team. On the 26tK of May, tlie LeKigK netters went down swinging to a superior Swartnmore team, 7-2.

This victory broKe a ten year jinx which Penn had held over Mercer coached teams. Meyer, Stauffer, Ernst, and DeHuff turned in im- pressive victories in their singles while Arnold and Stauffer again teamed to produce the nnal score.
