It is further dedicated to the men and women whose un- tiring efforts are responsible for the rise of the Institute to the prominent place it now occupies among institu- tions of higher learning. The advent of diversification in New England industries has caused a subsequent expansion of the facilities and curricula at Lowell Technological In- stitute to meet the demands of these industries. Terry Q. Slipstick, the college mascot, has increased his fields of endeavor and now has assumed the appear- ance of a more technical terrier.

This has been the keynote in a long and illustrious history for the Institute — a year in which Lowell Tech embarked on a new and challenging course. Diversification, which has been the watchword and goal of industry in the post-war years, has also been the inspiration for our new program of progress and development. The addition of Paper and Leather En- gineering curricula has been accomplished with both courses quartered in a new building with modern classrooms, lecture halls, and laboratories. We are now engaged in the establishment of curricula in the Electronics and Plastics Engineering fields, which will round out our engineering program in six fields of technology. At the same time that we embark upon ventures in new areas, we are intensifying and refining our offerings in textile chemistry, textile engineering, and textile manufacturing. Indeed, the whole galaxy of activities which now characterize the operations of the Institute are mutually complementary, and in combination will further enhance the prestige and effectiveness of our educational and research programs, and thus will reflect credit upon Lowell ' s friends and Alumni. Members of the Class of 1954, you have my sincere congratulations for your accomplishments during the past four years — years which are the foundation for your future careers. During your course of study, all of us at the Institute have tried to give you the best possible education in your chosen field. The degree to which you exploit and capitalize upon your education is strictly up to you. Whatever your lot in life, you can be sure that you always have our best wishes for every success and happiness. t uctu (L. JZl f RICHARD W. IVERS Dean of Students CHARLES F.

NftSSf 1 , in retrospect Another year has come and gone, and another Senior class has been graduated from Lowell Technological Insti- tute. For the under-graduates, June of 1954 represents just another milestone along the never-ending road of education, but for the graduate, the month of June represents something much more. It is the realization of a long existent dream; the fitting climax to four long years of work and expectations. Therefore, it is not so much with a feeling of sorrow that we take leave of these hallowed halls, but rather with a sense of pride and satisfaction both for ourselves and our College. During this short segment of our lifetime that was spent in quest of knowledge, we have acquired a certain versatility, not only in the technical field of education, but also in the secular field. We have learned about ourselves. We have been given a clear and conscious view of our opin- ions and judgements, a truth in developing them, a certain eloquence in expressing them, and a strength in presenting them. Through the many contacts and friendships cultivated during our four years at College, we have been taught how to accommodate ourselves to others, how to understand their problems and opinions, and how to make others aware of our own feelings. Truly, this is one of the greatest, if not the greatest accomplishments of our days at Lowell Tech. Education does not stop at graduation, for every day of our existence we find ourselves in the classroom of life. And from every new situation in which we find ourselves, there is a lesson to be learned. In our four years at Lowell Tech, we have become ac- customed to periodic examinations to measure our progress. When we step into the world of business administration, management, engineering, or whatever phase we are to fol- the musicians ' union as for women . jpwwswww 19 I didn ' t mean it, Professor . . . ROTC Ball ' J I II! l f Ml? it once looked like this low, we will still encounter examinations. Day in, day out, we will be tried, examined, and judged, the only difference being that these exams will not be announced. We must be ready for these tests. The fundamentals that we have ac- quired as students should and will serve us well in this exact- ing world of obligations and decisions. In this frame of mind then, let us look back over our four years, and try in some small way, to realize how all the trails, demands, and mishaps of our Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years at Lowell Technological Institute have been interwoven into the fabric of our personalities. With a feeling of great consternation, we trundled along across the Bridge, to our first contact with Lowell Textile Institute, as it was called in the days of Chem 101, and Survey of Textiles. After the filling out of voluminous bundles of registration forms and such, we began our never- to-be-forgotten Freshman year. This great year of 1950 saw some changes in the administration, as Martin J. Lydon assumed many responsibilities as President of the In- stitute, and Wentworth Williams replaced him as Dean of Students. The Film Classic Group was now in its second year; and a new Athletic Advisory Committee was set up at the Institute. This was about the time when the term AFROTC became well known around the campus. In the fall of 1950, the LTI Research Foundation was organized, which in time was to add another feature to the Institute ' s already well-decorated cap. The All- Tex formal was a huge success, as we wel- comed Stan Kenton and his orchestra to the campus. Then came talk of Lowell State Teachers College . . . girls . . . blind dates . . . girls . . . Haystack Hoedown . . . and girls. There were rumors of the school dropping football . . . the word deferment became a common one, . . . it seemed that Sam was a quite popular name for uncles, and neighbors got together and formed boards for discussing things other than community affairs. It was also during the 50-51 school year, that the Red- book Publishing Company came out with a new volume . . . sides split campus wide as we had our first contact with the Pink Issue. . . . and the Paper and Leather courses were added to the curriculum. The Textile Players presented their production of, The Man Who Came to Dinner, and our No sweat 20 own Thespians did a bang-up job. The last few months of second semester Freshman year were pretty rough academ- ically, and topics that were much discussed on campus were, final exams . . . addition of an ROTC unit in the fall . . . the temporary dropping of football . . . finals . . . Upstream Day . . . study . . . cram . . .exams . . . worry . . . relief . . . summer vacation . . . and REST. September 1951 . . . again we wade through pages and pages of registration forms, this time it is complicated more so by the new numbering system for the classrooms. But, such is the price of education, we mutter, as we finish registration for our Sophomore year, and meet for the first time, the difficulties encountered by A and B, as A in Lon- don sends money to B in United States, to whom he owes money, upon which a draft is drawn from A ' s bank ( in Lon- don), and sent to B, who didn ' t need the money in the first place ... or is it B who sends the money by drawing a draft from his bank, which is sent to A (in London) ? ... or is A a second cousin to B ( twice removed ) ... or ... oh well, what ' s 3 credits. If this wasn ' t enough, you could get your kicks from Chem 201, where you were enlightened as to the merits of anti-freeze as a beverage, how to pour rubbing alcohol through bread, how benezne looks through a mirror, and last but not least, how to capture, keep, and feed baby tautomers. In 1951 two new instructors were added to the faculty in the persons of Mr. Pfister, and Mr. Rogers; and the Soph- omore class co-sponsored a blind date dance with LSTC. Thou shalt not fly the Confederate flag, proclaimed the campus criers who were immediately drowned out by rousing choruses of That ' s What I Like About the South. . . . President Lydon drew the first volume from the stacks of the new Alumni Memorial Library . . . and several new extra-curricular activities were added, among which were the Newman Club, the Hillel Counselorship, the Golf Club, WLTI, and the AF-ROTC Rifle Team. The AU-Tex week- end rolled around with the music of Freddy Martin, open house at all the fraternities, the Faculty-Fraternity All-Star game in which the Frat All-Stars nosed out the Faculty by a score of 50-39. The few weeks preceding the Christmas vacation were busy indeed, with the Freshman Smoker, Open House at the The players ' special How does he do it 21 Losers buy the beer J J ±1 I ' ll raise you two bales Will he finish by graduation? Institute, the visit of the Red Cross Bloodmobile and of course, preparation (? ) for final exams. After mid-years, things moved along a little more smoothly, and it was soon time for the first ROTC Military Ball, which was a tremendous success. Music was supplied by Ted Herbert ' s orchestra, and the whole affair was im- pressive and colorful. Before we knew it Hell-week was upon us, and a lot of the students seemed to be taking six hours of Sleep lectures every day. Then the days were staying brighter longer, and this was a sure sign that spring was coming. Plans were being made for Upstream Day, and supplies were being stocked (food of course). Days of sad- ness then came to the Institute, as we learned of the sudden death of our very capable band-master Bernie Larkin. The Textile Players presented their version of You Can ' t Take It With You ... a poll was taken among the student body for the choice of a new name for the Institute . . . and then our days were numbered, as finals approached. We were relieved indeed when our last exam was completed, and we started off on our summer escapades. In September of 1953, we again returned to the Insti- tute, this time as Juniors, filled with vim, vigor, and Vitalis, ready to assault all of our third year courses. The Paper and Leather building had been officially opened and classes were being held regularly in the new lecture halls. The AF-ROTC welcomed two new additions to its teaching staff, Captain Mild and Sgt. McCoy. Omicron Pi Fraternity celebrated its 50th anniversary with a gala weekend, and the soccer team ran undefeated for seven games straight. Chemists and engineers turned to music majors as the Alma Mater song contest was initiated, and we all had a gay old time at the LSTC acquaintance dance. In keeping with the Institute ' s policy of expansion and improvement, ground was broken for the new administration building, and the newest organ of the student body, WLTI, went on the air for the first time, to begin its five-day week broadcasting schedule. The All- Tex Smoker, the second Military Ball with Bob Bachelder, and My Sister Eileen, rounded out the remaining weeks of first semester. During the second semester of this, our Junior year, the pace of important events was not slackened in the least. Lowell Textile Institute celebrated its fiftieth anniversary and then there were none 22 with a convocation, an ROTC review, and a special com- memoration issue of the TEXT. Guests at the convocation included Christian A. Herter, Governor of Massachusetts, and Laurence F. Whittemore, head of the New England Council. The merits of the Institute were exclaimed nation- wide, when we received a big write-up in Business Week, one of the nation ' s best periodicals. Again, it was All-Tex formal time, with the music of Shep Fields, and the enchant- ing voice of Jilla Webb. Don Siegal won the Alma Mater Song contest, and was presented with the prize on the night of the Formal. New organizations appeared on campus, such as the Flying Club, the Ski Team, and the Circle K group. Another step in this era of growth and progress. Then Lowell State Teachers College ' s misfortune was our good fortune. Be- cause of a serious fire at the College, the girls were the guests of the Institute for the remainder of the term. They invaded our classrooms, upset our schedules, and caused even the grubbiest of students to shave and put on a clean shirt. The time was right, the spring of the year, and the setting was perfect, the nice green lawns on the banks of the picturesque Merrimac. Ah yes, never before had the yellow-hued walls rung with the fresh sounds of young female voices. This was truly progress . . . Just about this time, a decree was sent out from the hierarchy to the effect that final exams were now mandatory in all courses. This of course met with the immediate ap- proval of the whole student body . . . everyone was joyous and grateful. Oh well. . . again — ■ progress. Finals approached quietly, and left even more quietly. Once more we packed our tooth brushes, beer mugs, and our copies of Who ' s Who in George ' s, and off we went. Some to summer jobs, some to summer resorts, and some of us just kept going as far as we possibly could to get away from books, and larnin. Our fourth and final year at LTI, now Lowell Tech- nological Institute found more changes in the administration. Our new Dean of Students was Richard Ivers, Dean of Fac- ulty was Professor Edlund, and Assistant Director of Admis- sions was Mr. Haley. The student body and administration said goodbye to Miss Ruth Foote, who retired after 30 years of duty as Registrar. please fix my boo-boo go way Casey, you bother me 23 Gallant Lady the Grand March on to victory The campus was not without its usual bustling of ac- tivity. Plans were being made for the annual All-Tech formal, which this year would feature Billy Butterfield and his orchestra, and a Block Party was scheduled for the big weekend. Two new additions were announced, the new Administration building, which would open in the spring, and the inception of an Electronics course, to start in the fall of next year. It was during the first semester of this year, that WLTI moved lock, stock, and microphone, into the basement of Eames Hall. A completely equipped studio, engineering booth, and record library, were built by the students themselves, and WLTI settled down to the business of presenting the best in radio entertainment to the dormi- tory residents. Preceding the LTI vs. M.I.T. basketball game, the stu- dent council sponsored the biggest and best pep rally that the school had seen since way back in the days of football. The night was polished off with a huge bonfire, in which an MIT effigy was burned, and a huge dance in Southwick Hall. Our remaining days at the Institute were crowded with interviews . . . senior seminars . . . rotary batch lab . . . dots . . . exams . . . worries about the future . . . military or non- military . . . and finally on that warm day in June, we were the proud recipients of our degrees at the commencement exercises At long last, our many hours of sweat and toil, had brought to us our own personal key to a successful future. And so, as we now look back over our four years at LTI, and swallow that slight lump that seems to be bursting in our throats, (something we ate, no doubt), we can now realize the significance of it all. These years spent at Lowell were our formative years, in which we acquired the tools to make for ourselves a shelter on the barren plains of life. We should therefore let these words . . . these memories . . . be a constant reminder and, in a manner of speaking, an incentive to futher conquests and knowledge. When we are at anytime in need of a lift, let us turn to these memories, and take advantage of the comfort that they offer, IN RETROSPECT. II Est Finis . . .

Organizations all over the campus are finding their efforts crowned with success; the Student Council, which is the co- ordinator and administrator of all these student ac- tivities, has been no exception. Late in October, the tenor for the year was set when the Council ran the fifth All-Tech Formal Week- end. This affair proved to be the social high-spot of the school year. Billy Butterfield ' s music, the soccer team ' s win, the IFC ' s carnival, all fitted together to give LTI a perfect weekend. After this, the Council focused its attention else- where. It aided the student body in the planning of the most successful pep-rally that the Institute has seen in many years. It compiled the first general survey of student opinion. It set up plans for the revival of Freshman hazing. It held several open meetings. It started a student forum. And, at long last, it found a suitable song for the Alma Mater. The Council also aided in setting up the students ' own parking lot; in getting the gym open for use on weekends, in setting up a Student Judiciary Board, in planning for the Machinery Exhibition, and in han- dling various grievances. Since the Student Council is entrusted with the res- ponsibility, the students rightly place most of the blame for a bad year on the Council ' s he ad; and, therefore the Council should also receive some of the credit for the good year the students have just ended. 28 29 pickout DANIEL L.

Slipstick and besides my other activities on campus, I am also the producer of the Pickout, our college yearbook. At present, I am suffering from a cephalgea, a headache to you. Deadlines are the cause of my poor health, and I also have a touch of insomnia when I wonder whether this DOGgone book will ever be put to bed. As I look through the plans for the 1954 Pickout, I can ' t help but feel that my fellow students will be pleasantly surprised when they gaze upon the finished product of my staff ' s efforts. I wonder if the leaders who will leaf through this book will realize the time and energy expanded in its completion. During a long staff meeting which ended in the early hours of a morning way back in April 1953, it was decided that the accent on the ' 54 Pickout would be aesthetic. Many ideas were offered in the support of this policy. Some were discarded and others appear in print as a part of this year ' s annual. Picking the theme wasn ' t hard, for I just decided to use my own activities at school this year as its basis. Color was added from the printer ' s palette in an attempt to bting the pages to life and without the aid of the specttophotometer combinations were matched for the cover and the body of the book. The layout staff wotked diligently with dummies, character counts, and T -squares in planning attrac- tive art work. The explosion of flash bulbs around the Institute u f_ indicated that the photography staff possessed the ubiquity of Everyman and was striving for its goal of providing a fine picto-history of the academic year. The literary staff was busy tracking down little known facts about well known organizations on cam- pus, while the fraternity and class staff traced the year ' s activities of the various classes and societies at Tech. The sports staff braved the muddy soccer field in the rain, the abuse at away basketball games, and the antics of the knothole gang at baseball games to obtain copy for their articles. The rewrite staff had to wade through dangling particles, split infinitives, and this language called English which is so frequently abused here.

Faced with the job of selling ads to an industty which has seen better days, the business staff obtained much success as it sent its representatives knocking on the doors of companies in every major center of busi- ness in the Northeast. The Pickout Board, composed of representatives from organizations and the four classes, with its hand on the pulse of the student body, advised the Pickout staff on its policies. The Board, as well as the staff, were under the guidance of Professor Russell M. Fox, the Faculty Adviser. Looking back over these plans, sketches, and copy, I guess I haven ' t much left to do, and soon I ' ll be dreaming again of beautiful . . . yearbooks. Will you excuse me a moment?

At length did come a telegram Through the fog it came As if it had been a word of praise We hailed it in God ' s name. But hark! What looms upon the right As back and forth we stride Upon the path, it is the wrath But we have naught to hide. From the womb of Mother Earth A cause did rear its head The odds were great, and sealed its fate Until it lay there dead. A fortnight served to quell the storm A furor then did cease As we went our way, to await the day When all returned to peace. The days wore on while readers wailed For much news they did squint Copy, copy everywhere But ne ' er a place to print. And then one day a group did meet Re-organization was their aim And from this group a saviour arose J. Omnibus was his name! And once again the calm was here The cycle was renewed But now and here, one thought is clear To certain facts never allude. The editor, whose eye is bright, Whose beard with age is hoar Is gone, And now the listening guest Turned from the office door. He went like one that hath been stunned And is of sense forlorn; A sadder and wiser man He rose the morrow morn! 35 tech players OFFICERS President .... DONALD T. WARK Vice President THOMAS F. GARVEY Secretary ELAINE L. KENNEDY Treasurer NANCY J. GEARY Donald Wark Another organization here at L. T. I. which is well known and well supported is the Textile Players. First organized in 1906, the Players have, through the years, come to be known as one of the leading stage groups in this section of New England. In keeping with the trend of the times, the Players have passed two distinct milestones in the past year. The first of these events was brought about by the change in the name of the Institute from Lowell Tex- tile, to Lowell Technological. Because of this change in name, the traditional name of Textile Players be- came the Lowell Tech Players. The other event of major importance was the presentation of a production on the campus for the first time, when the 1954 pro- duction was staged in the new Cumnock Hall audito- rium. In past years, all of the shows had been pre- sented in local theatres. The 1953 Production of My Sister Eileen, was presented to a near-capacity audience at the Merrimac Square Theatre on the night of April 24. The two sisters, Elaine Kenney, and Nancy Geary, very ably put up with the antics of their landlord, Donald Legow, the advice of entertainer Tina Velantzas, the attention of editor Mel Ettenson, the protection of of- 36 Standing: Missry, Canovi, Ettenson, Synder, Austin, Weissenborn, Hamel.

Once again, just prior to Christ- mas of 1953, the Players entertained a group of children from the various childrens homes throughout the city. This party met with the same de- gree of success and feeling of well- being that has been the case in the previous years. The production that was chosen for presentation in the 1954 season, was the comedy hit, Remains to Be Seen, written by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. The Directrix for the 1954 show was Miss Helen Simpson of Lowell. Standing: Houston, Petkiewicz, Stone, White, Scarponi, Marcus, Legow, Twarog.

It is the symbol of Tau Ep- silon Sigma, the scholastic honor society, whose mem- bers have joined its eminent ranks by their continued honor standing. Membership in Tau Epsilon Sigma is earned by a student who has been on the Dean ' s list for six con- secutive semesters or who has maintained an overall 4.0 average during his four years at Tech. Under the capable guidance of Professor John J.

GEARY Corresponding Secretary CHESTER J. PETKIEWICZ Recording Secretary FOTINE VELANTZAS Treasurer DAVID F. TORCHIA Joseph B. Levy President The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists, devoted exclusively to textiles, is the only national organization that is actively represented at Lowell Technological Institute. The first chemical society at Lowell Technological Institute was known as the Textile Chemical Otganiza- tion. Founded by Dr. Louis A. Olney in 1921, this organization was a communication between the textile student and the Textile chemical industry. The group disbanded on December 16, 1922 and was re-organized as the first chapter of the A.A.T.C.C, whose purpose was to encourage and develop research in the fields of Textile Chemistry and Dyeing, and to maintain a basis for the exchange of technical information in this field. Thirty-one years have passed since the founding of the first chemical society, and now there are nine student chapters. Each of these student chapters is affiliated with an educational institution of established standing and principally engaged in a course of study leading to employment in the chemical division of the Textile Industry. The members ' privilege to attend all the general and sectional meetings of the A.A.T.C.C. foster the intellectual stimulus arising from profes- sional association. The first meeting of the year could be considered one of the most important in the respect that the var- ious functioning committees were established during this meeting. Mi. Ernest R.

Research Company and Chairman of the Northern New England Section, spoke to the group on exten- sibility in relation to various fibers. Dr. Demosthenes Simopoulas, chemist at Synthetic Yarns, gave a talk on the application and effects of sizing materials applied to fabrics. Through the years, the A.A.T.C.C. has taken great forward strides. Five years ago, the student chapter re- ceived recognition from the Intercollegiate Chemical Society, and with the ever-increasing importance of chemistry in industry, the A.AT.C.C. will progress to higher goals and may be expected to achieve higher recognition in the years to follow.

NICHOLS Vice President LINCOLN H. GOOD Secretary VASILIOS KYRIACOPOULOS Treasurer ROBERT J. LORMAN Donald Nichols President Thirty-four years ago a group of engineering stu- dents formed a society to further the interests and edu- cation of the students enrolled in the engineering courses. The members of this organization are aided greatly in their engineering subjects through the many seminars, motion pictures, field trips, and lectures that are sponsored by the Society. During the school year of 1921-1922, the organiza- tion became a student chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Shortly after, this affiliation seemed impractical and was subsequently dissolved. Now, almost twenty years after, the Engineering So- ciety of Lowell Technological Institute again is dis- cussing the possibility of transforming its organization into a student chapter of the A.S.M.E. If this change takes place, it will surely be one of the big highlights in the history of the Engineering Society. In the past year, a mill trip to Crompton and Knowles Loom Works was taken. This presented to the members of the organization the actual production of looms by one of the leading loom manufacturing companies in the world. Shortly after, a film was presented by the DuPont Company, showing how chemistry uses engineering in its production methods. 42 Row 1, Left to Right: Collins, Iannazzi, O ' Heir, Lolos, Kupferschmid, Pappaioanou.

Closing out the activities of the school year, the annual banquet was held, at which time the newly elected officers were presented to the student body. It is apparent that with the diversification of the Institute, and the increase in student enrollment, the Engineering Society will remain as one of the largest and most active of the organizations on the campus.

LEVY Secretary BINOD K. NAIR Treasurer JAYANTILAL K. SANGHRAJKA The International Students Circle has been a pro- minent organization at Lowell Tech for 24 years. During this time, it has grown, as the Institute itself has grown, and has become a well known and intimate part of Campus activities here at the Institute. The aim of the circle is to prom ote better relation- ships between the International students and the rest of the student body, and also to achieve the same result among the international students themselves. Through this organization all the students at Tech have the opportunity to associate with students from all over the world. This association affords us an in- sight into the problems, customs, economic and social activities, of many far removed sections of the world. The members of the Circle have made it a policy to present lectures, movies, discussions, and many other educational devices in order that the students may learn about the many countries represented. The number of students that claim membership in the Circle is a fact that well illustrates the notoriety of Lowell Tech on a world wide basis. Through the International students of our Alumni, we have gained much in the way of respect and acclaim, for their is no better proof of virtue of an institution of learning, 44 Standing, Left to Right: Aguilar, Deligiannis, Banker, A., Cohen, K., Ceppas, Steinsapir, Levy, MacGregor, Rohr, Alrod, Kwok, Brown, Banker, D., Kupferschmid, Okoye.

Among the countries of the world that are or have been represented in the International Students Circle, we find Israel, Nicaragua, Mexico, Argentina, Co- lumbia, Japan, Brazil, Greece, Chile, India, Egypt, Great Britain, China, and the Dominion of Canada. Of the many functions, both social and educational, that the Circle sponsors during the year, just about the biggest and best is the International night. This is a night when we find Eames Hall decorated in the best of European or Asiatic taste. We see gayly colored costumes, lively international dances, we hear enchant- ing music from across the world, and we are inflamed by the captivating decor of this window in the wall of continents. The members of the Circle are also active in local affairs. They participated this past year, in the celebra- tion of the birthday of the United Nations, which was sponsored by the Lowell League of Women Voter ' s. Their aid in programming, and exhibitions was greatly appreciated. The year 1954 has truly been a great year for the International Club, and plans are in the offing for many more successful years to come. . . . and this is where I live 45 newman c lub OFFICERS President TRISTAN A. LAURION Vice President PATRICIA LECLAIR Recording Secretary PHYLLIS MURRAY Corresponding Secretary CHESTER J. PETKIEWICZ Treasurer ALBERT J. GILET Tristan A. Laurion President The Newman Club, under the guidance of Rever- end John F. Murphy, Chaplin of Saint Rita ' s Parish in Lowell, has completed its third year here at Lowell Technological Institute. Composed of students from Lowell Technological Institute and Lowell State Teach- ers College, this organization is designed to serve the spiritual, intellectual, and social needs of the Catholic students. Professor John J. MacLaughlan of Lowell Tech- nological Institute and Professor John R. Fitzgerald of Lowell State Teachers College acting as faculty advisers for the organization, have done much to make the Newman Club a success during the past year. Many excellent speakers were obtained for meet- ings of the organization. At the first meeting, Father Nugent, Boston Regional Director of the Newman Club, spoke to the group on the need for Catholic students to support the Newman Club. Many mem- bers attended a special Living Rosary Holy Hour at Saint Clement ' s Shrine in Boston. A day of Recollec- tion was conducted by Father Maxim of the Mary- knolls. At the start of the day, the members, as a group, received Holy Communion, and then attended a Com- munion Breakfast after Mass. Later in the day, Father 46 Row 1, Left to Right: Smith.C, Petkiewicz, Laurion, Gilet, Kappler. Row 2: Geary, Peterson, O ' Heir, Collins, Kenney. Row 3 : Bonacci, DeProfio, Cassidy, Garvey, Walsh J. Maxim gave inspirational talks to the group and then concluded by conducting a Holy Hour in the evening. A discussion of Family Ethics was conducted by a panel of individuals from religious, lay, and medical circles. Father Donaghy, Retreat Superior at Campion Hall, spoke to the group on Personal Ethics. The meaning of the Mass, which consisted of the perfor- mance of the Mass and the explanation of the signif- icance of each movement, was presented to the group. The Holy Season of Lent was observed with a Com- munion breakfast and with a talk on Christian Morals and Religious Obligations. The month of April will see the election of new club officers and a speaker on Ethics. Ehiring the month of May, the final Communion breakfast of the year will be held at which time the new officers will take over. It is the hope of the Chaplin, Reverend Father Murphy, and the outgoing and incoming officers, that the Newman Club will succeed in the primary service of the organization through the various activities.

HERMAN Three years ago, a body of Jewish students attend- ing Lowell Textile Institute applied for membership in the national Hillel organization, and founded the present B ' nai B ' rinth Hillel Counselorship at Lowell Textile. In its few years of existance, Hillel has had many social and cultural programs. These endeavored to give the Jewish students on the campus a chance to meet in a group so that they might discuss matters pertaining to Jewish life both current and historical, and also to give them an opportunity to sponsor social affairs which would promote closer friendship campus wise and among the members. The purpose of Hillel is to offer a complete program of Jewish religious and cultural activities and personal services in accordance with the objectives of the national Hillel movement. Although Hillel is mainly a Jewish organization, stu- dents of other religious beliefs, interested in learning different aspects of Jewish life and history, attend discussions and other Hillel sponsored affairs. Hillel groups may be found in most of the leading colleges in the country, and they play an important part in providing future leaders for the Jewish com- munity. 48 Row 1, Left to Right: Banker, Litt, Levy, Brown, Gottschalk, Herman. Row 2: Metcalf, Weil, Sheldon, Golbin, Novick. This year, in keeping with the aims of Hillel, discussion groups, under the direction of Rabbi War- ren of Lowell, were held every Tuesday night. Topics brought up by the students at these meetings, ranged from Jewish history and customs to marital problems. Brunches were held once a month at the Hebrew Community Center in Lowell, which featured choice morsels and attractive damsels. On October 20, the Lowell B ' nai B ' rinth Lodge invited members of Hillel to attend their meetings, at which the Tuckers, famous young mentalists, performed astonishing feats of telepathy and riotous spirit seances. Those members of Hillel who attended, had a very enjoyable evening. In the month of Decem- ber, in cooperation with Hillel groups from Harvard, M.I.T., and Boston University, the Lowell members attended a Hanukkah festival in Brookline. Members of the Boston University and M.I.T groups presented some skits of both a serious and comical nature, after which refreshments were served and a session of folk dancing was held. The past year has been a progressive one for Hillel, and the future years will see a larger and in- creasingly more active Hillel group on the campus of LTI.

KARP 1 1 1 c mCm Edward Bonacci President The time is 7:00 P.M. and you are tuned to WLTI, the voice of Lowell Technological Institute, owned and operated by the Lowell Technological Institute Broadcasting Association and operating on a carrier current frequency of 640 Kc. You are in- vited to stay tuned for five hours and ten minutes of continuous entertainment. These are words that the students at LTI have become well familiar with, as WLTI goes on the air, and radios in both dormatories are tuned to 640 Kc. Since its first day of broadcasting in January of 1953, WLTI has grown by leaps and bounds. A humble beginning, with equipment that would have amazed radio technicians, has developed into a station equipped with the finest essential equipment. Among the station complement, equipment-wise, the shining light is, without a doubt, our own hi-fidelity broadcast console, which was built by the members themselves This is equipped with two 3 speed turntables and five input points. Also included in this list of excellent equipment, is the Magnecord tape recorder, and the latest RCA uni-directional microphone. The constant expansion of the engineering department leaves much room for creative work in technical and functional 50 Row 1, Left to Right: Berrnan, Weiser, Robertson, Bonacci, Karp, Freeman.

Other departments, such as the Business depart- ment , have also reflected the growth which is so evi- dent in the physical engineering equipment. Monetary needs become a determining factor in the growth of most organizations today, and as such, the business end of radio becomes most important. In radio, business means advertising, and advertising presents opportunities for student development in initiative, personality, and general salesmanship. Programming and publicity are certainly key fac- tors in the setup of any radio station. You need only ask the question, what is radio?, and programming, and its inevitable companion publicity come to mind. Here we find need for script writers, and people with creative journalistic ability for continuity and com- mercial writing. This first year of broadcasting has shown a station built, expanded, and stabilized by students with zeal and true school spirit. We of WLTI feel that the friendships and fellowships, built through the station ' s activities, have been and will continue to be the great- est asset of WLTI. The future looms great, as WLTI becomes an in- tegral part of campus life at Lowell Technological Institute. and when you hear the signal .

Mem- bership in the Society is a privilege extended to se- lected cadets in the advanced AFROTC course. Founded in 1948, the Society was named after General Hap Arnold. The LTI squadron organized on August 29, 1952 was named after Major General James F. Phillips. The mission of the Arnold Air Society is to establish a closely knit corps of cadets, and to help to promote good relationships between the AFROTC and the student body as a whole. These ends are accomplished through the annual social func- tions of the Society. One of these functions, the annual Military Ball, was held this year on the thirteenth of February at the Crystal Ballroom in Andover, Mass. The cadets and their many guests danced to the delightful music of Bob Bachelder, and among the evening ' s highlights was the choosing of an Honorary Colonel and an Honorary Queen. After the affair, open house was held at all the fraternities. Other noteworthy events of this, the Arnold Air Society ' s second years of existence, were the attendance of three of the Society ' s officers at the Area Conven- tion, which was held at the University of New Hamp- OFFICERS Commanding Officer CHARLES L.

HAMILTON Treasurer RAYMOND P. SCIACCA Charles Cashin President The L.T.I. Flying Club was organized in the fall of 1952 by a group of students who were interested in safe and economical flying. A few months later, in the spring of 1953, the club got its real start with the purchase of an Aeronca Champ, with a 65 H.P. engine. When the weather cleared that spring, the plane was busy every weekend, sunrise to sunset. Be- fore long, several of the members had soloed, and one had obtained his license. Since then, the club has progressed smoothly, and accomplished much. Thus it has secured a permanent place among the many organizations here at Lowell Tech. It is the sincere hope of all the members, that the club will continue to expand and prosper in the years to come. 54 Kneeling: Robbins, W. Instructor, Cashin, C, Hamilton, R.

Kwok President The Chinese Students Circle of Lowell Techno- logical Institute is one of the oldest organizations at the Institute. The aim of the club is to foster friend- ships among its members, and to create an interest in the extracurricular activities of the Circle among the other members of the student body. Discussion sessions are frequently held at which both technical and social subjects are discussed. Many other activities are sponsored by the Circle, some in conjunction with the International Students Circle, and at times the members get together with Chinese students at other colleges. At the present time the Chinese Students Circle claims a membership of nine men, three of these students being from Formosa. All of the Students are engaged in the study of American techniques in in- dustrial manufacturing, management, and industrial processing, so that they may be of help in the advance- ment of the textile industry in Free China.

Row 2: Adler, Petkiewicz, Swift, Frazee, McNamara, Scarponi, Garvey, Berman. Among the more noteworthy organizations to be found on the campus of Lowell Tech., is the Nucleus. This organization, though only in its sixth year of existence, has done much in the way of adding that extra bit of decorum to the Lowell Tech. graduates. The purpose of the Nucleus is to provide its mem- bers with an opportunity to get first hand experience in the fields of public speaking, human relations, seminars, and all the other components of a good technical education which are so vital in the highly advanced world of industry that exists today. These ends are accomplished through the practical experiences, and related events of the members them- selves. Each member shares his practical knowledge and experience with the other members through a series of monthly seminars conducted by that member on the subject of his choice. The particular chairman for a certain month, must make all arrangements for announcements, invitations, question periods, and the usual dinner that is held after the seminar. Membership in the Nucleus is restricted to fifteen Juniors and Seniors who are chosen on the basis of their scholastic achievement and participation in extra- curricular activities. Since the organization has no permanent officers, the monthly chairman has charge of all club business for that month. The type of opportunities that the Nucleus offers its members makes it one of the most important organizations at Lowell Tech. Membership in this activity is a privilege, and the tremendous wealth of information and practical knowledge that is available to its members is greatly appreciated by the club ' s Alumni, once they set out to make their place in industry. 56 duplicate bridge league OFFICERS President EDWARD B. SHELDON Secretary STUART KROUSS Faculty Advisor MR. LOUIS C. BLOCK Tournament Director PROF. WILLIAM G. CHACE Last year, the LTI Duplicate Bridge League cele- brated the successful conclusion of its first year as a recognized Student-Faculty activity. The year ' s win- ning team, composed of Mr. Herman Brown and Mr. Vasilis Lavrakas, both members of the faculty, received their well deserved awards at a banquet in a local night-spot. At the same time, the League bade fare- well to their graduating student members. This heavy loss of graduating students, coupled with the retirement of several members, left only a small nucleus for the coming year. Prospects for the season really looked their blackest when Uncle Sam stepped in and called our only two remaining veteran students, Mel Weiner and Tiny Oxer, to the colors. The surviving members started an extensive cam- paign to secure the necessary replacements to operate the League properly. Fraternity interest heightened at this time and four new teams were added to the League, giving us an eight team League for the coming season. At the present time, the League roster includes Edward B. Sheldon President two faculty teams, two mixed teams, and four student teams. They include: FACULTY TEAMS Mr. Block and Sgt. Taylor Prof. Chace and Prof. Lisien MIXED TEAMS Hallman and Mr. Peirent Mr. Kopycinski and J.

BOURRET Norman Dufour President In 1953, the Paper Engineering Society was founded at Lowell Technological Institute for the purpose of fotming a more closely knit association between the upper and lower classmen of the Paper Engineering Department. This year, under the guidance of Faculty Advisors, Professor John Lewis, Professor Norwood Keeney, and Mr. Horace Lee, the Society has gained momen- tum, and its activities are now many and varied. Along with guest speakers from industry, mill trips were planned in conjunction with the regular school cur- riculum. With the increasing number of students in the Paper Engineering Course, the membeiship has risen from the original 17 to its present status of 28 mem- bers. The increasing membership and interest will ultimately elevate it to one of the foremost organiza- tions in the Institute. 58 Row 1, Left to Right: Rushton, Tournas, Keeney, Karp, Hallas, Pelliccione.

DOOLEY Robert Fulton President The Leather Engineering Society, although a rela- tively new organization on campus (2 years), has already established itself as a successful and timely group. The Leather course, which was established in 1949, is part of the trend towards the new technical curricula of the Institute, of which we have been aware during the past few years. In keeping with this trend, the Leather Engineering Society was organized. Its purpose, to provide a program of lectures, movies and guided tours of the Leather industry for the students enrolled in course IX. The members and officers of the Society have guided it well through its years of inception, and are now occupied with plans for the future, which, if we are to judge by past examples, will be a successful one.

To provide a medium whereby capable ambi- tious young men may be assisted in acquiring a college education by means of scholarship funds. 2. To promote good fellowship and provide ex- perience in living and working together. 3. To give primacy to human and spiritual rather than material values of life. The Circle K Club was organized in May 1953 under the sponsorship of the Kiwanis Club of Lowell. It is an honorary service organization and makes available a contact with members of the Lowell Kiwanis Club and speakers invited to the regular monthly dinner meetings of the Club. Students in- vited to join Circle K are chosen because of both scholastic standing and their desire to be of service to others. At the present time, there are thirty-five charter members. Since its inauguration, Circle K has helped with freshman orientation by directing the freshmen in person or by distributing informative pamphlets. The Circle has held a successful exhibition with the Ki- wanis Club of Lowell for its fund raising drive. A tutoring program has been established at L.T.I, under the sponsorship of Circle K . 60 Row 1, Left to Right: Lamprey, Robbins, Garvey, Okoye, Swift, Greenhall, Adler.

Basketball Team had begun pre-season practice with mixed opinions as to its potential. Gone from the club were the previous season ' s tri-captains Sandy Brandt, Warren McHugh, and Arnie Brody. Gone too was the controversial, but sensational Chris Chingros, plus steady Abe Essig. Coach Dave Morey looked over the turnout, and found himself with a fast aggressive ball club which lacked height and experience; but showed hustle, fight, and determination. Led by Captain Larry Horowitz, who was marking his fourth year on the club, the only two other returning veterans were Don Harrahy who finished his college career in mid-semester, and Gil Palm. Up from the previous year ' s Jayvees were that team ' s two high scorers Whitey Smukler and Dave Perlstein along with peppy Bill Kaplan. Sopho- more Ed Koza, out for the team for the first time, immediately showed great promise. But the big sur- prise of the practices was the showing of freshmen Dave Brandt, Dave Hannon, Lew Miller, Marty Birn- baum, and Dick Silver. This group though lacking background and experience, showed great signs of development. How they would figure in this and future team ' s records was a debatable question. The team opened the campaign against Gordon deter- mined to improve the previous season 3 won and 14 lost record, and to provide the Techmen with inter- esting basketball. The opening drew a large crowd which stayed to the last second to see a 71-70 win for L.T.I. Captain Horowitz dumped in a free throw with eight seconds to play to clinch the win. Horowitz led the scoring with 25 points and was assisted by Koza with 12, and ball-hawking Lolos and freshman Silver, both of whom contributed eight. The next contest followed the unforgetable M.I.T. Pep Rally, but this time the height advantage of the Bostonians provided too much of an obstacle as the Techmen toppled 75-64. The Moreymen made a good showing, but a late scoring rally fell short. Horowitz continued his blitz of sets and hooks to end up with 26 buckets. Lolos again sparkled on the floor and looped in 12. In the third contest, L.I.T. was out-played by a superior U.N.H. team on the latters spacious gym. We tumbled to a 92-53 loss with most of the team doing poorly. Captain Horowitz was held to 10 in this one. Next, our basketeers journeyed into central New England and lost a tough 58-48 verdict to W.P.I. Trailing by one point with but 90 seconds to go, the loss of three men on personals provided the deciding Jump ball Foul . 63 Third Row, Left to Right: Koza, Harrahy, Silver, Miller, Edelsohn.

Horowitz with 19 points led the way; but the ball handling of Jim Lolos and the work of bucketmen Harrahy and Koza was outstanding. Returning to the home court, the Techmen whipped N.E.C. 89-71 for their second win. Coach Morey cleared the bench as there was little doubt as to the outcome. We led 66-36 going into the final period. Horowitz again led the scorers this time with 24. Harrahy added 13 and Dave Brandt 11. Hannon, Lolos and Koza also played well. Newark of Rutgers came to Lowell two days later and for all Tech cared they might just as well have stayed in New Jersey. Definitely out of our class, they pinned an 81-6l setback on our boys. Horowitz led with 14, being assisted by 11 points from Gil Palm. A complacent squad went down to defeat in its next encounter with a sharp shooting Suffolk Uni- versity quintet. Although they put on a fourth quarter spurt, the Moreymen lost this one 89-81. Four men hit the double figures for L.I.T., the ever-improving Dave Brandt leading the way. Brandt had 21, Horo- witz 19, Harrahy 18, and Hannon 15. The last game before the final exams saw our hoopsters put on a stirring battle to eke out a 62-59 overtime win over Merrimack. The game was marked by the fine teamwork of the entire squad. Lolos played his usual fine defensive game, along with setting up many of the baskets. Ed Koza sank the margin-win- ning point. The scoring honors went to Horowitz with 21, Hannon with 16, and Brandt with 14. The remainder of the schedule offered an excellent opportunity for the quintet to improve its 3-5 record.

By winning four of their last five games, the Tech Terriers closed out a mediocre season in a highly successful style. This record was indicative of what the club had shown on paper in the pre-season run- down; but due to injuries to key personnel and the loss of their top pitcher to the Coast Guard, the team got off to a poor start. Before the start of the season, Coach Rusty Yarnall had but a few days of outdoor practice to find a winning combination. Weak pitching and a virtually non-existent catching staff caused by injuries to both Rekant and Sheroff were momentous problems. These weaknesses were somewhat diminished by the number of returning lettermen. Co-captains Jack Carroll and Skippy McKniff led a host of veterans in the tryouts; and the starting lineup showed Sy Rekant, Glen Haley, Hank Powell, Al Peterson, Eric Fagan, Andy Pelletier, and Harvey Swanson back for another year. These men, plus the arrival of newcomers Jim Keohane and Frank Taplan rounded out the nucleus of the baseball club. The first game of the season against Providence College saw Lowell leading for six innings until its diminutive right-hander, Eric Fagan, tired. With no replacement available, Providence came on to win in the late innings. LTI found its winning form against Suffolk Col- lege by the tune of 4-2. Sore-armed Harvey Swanson scattered five hits in going the route for his first victory of the season. Jim Keohane and Len Sheroff led the team at the plate by driving out two hits each. The next five games were nightmares to this fight- ing club. A hit in any one of a dozen places could have easily meant victory instead of defeat in three of the tilts. Nothing seemed to go right; short stop Frankie Taplin broke his hand; pitchers ' sore arms 17 -U1P MM m ifm l.;, 66 First Row: Peterson, Keohane, Carroll, McKniff, Powell, Rekant.

Injuries so undermined the club that no one, least of all Coach Yarnall, knew from one day to th e next who would play what position. The only bright spot during this time was the Rusty Yarnall Day held at Burlington, Vermont. The affair was the welcome back sign to one of the University of Vermont ' s greatest athletes. In pre-game ceremonies, Rusty was presented with a large blanket bearing the U.V. insignia. But, as is the case more often than not when a coach returns to his Alma Mater, his boys went down to defeat this time at the hands of a much more powerful foe. May 12 saw Lowell regain its winning form by downing Keene Teachers to the tune of 8-4. Led by Co-captains McKniff and Carroll, and freshman Jim Keohane the Terriers pounded out 11 hits as Harvey Swanson chalked up another in the win column. Once again, Jim Keohane was high man with the stick as he went 4 for 4 and led Lowell to a 23-3 rout of Curry College. This game saw Andy Pelletier pitch excellent ball in coasting to his initial victory. New England College came next and was neatly disposed of by a score of 8-3 as Skippy McKniff pitched and won his only assignment of the season. The Worcester Tech game was one of those days when everything went wrong for one club and right for the other. The score was 10-2 with Lowell on the wrong side. Coming home for the season ' s final game, the Yarnall men administered a sound trashing to New Bedford by a score of 15-2. This game was called at the end of six innings by mutual consent. Rounding out the season, one sees Lowell finish- ing with a 5-7 record. The leading sticker on the club was Jim Keohane with an average of .364. He will be back this year as will Hank Powell, Eric Fagan, Sy Rekant, Pete Peterson, Len Sheroff, Andy Pelletier, Whitey Smukler, and Stan Stein. Prospects for the coming year look much brighter. With the large num- ber of returning letter men, possibilities of a larger turnout of candidates than ever before is anticipated.

' s major fall sport, has given a great boost to the morale of the student body over the past few years. This year, the stellar play of the Morey- coached Internationals led to an undefeated season. In eight contests, the Tech booters won seven contests and were held to one scoreless tie. The brilliant record of L.T.I. ' s soccer team compiled over the past three seasons is quite impressive. Through twenty-one straight encounters, the Internationals have lost but one contest. Never before in the history of the college could any sport boast a similar record. This and the past few seasons have gained for L.T.I, a reputation for having one of the strongest soccer squads in New England. In the beginning of the season, it was thought by many that the loss of such key men as co-captains Jack Carroll and Ed Baerwald would seriously hurt the calibre of play of the team. The loss of high scorer Ed Gostanian and goalie Milt Berkowitz was also sorely felt. However, Coach Morey produce his finest team. This year ' s squad had depth and balance, plus unusual talent. Freshmen bolstered the overall strength more than was expected. Jim Lowell, a newcomer, developed into a fine defensive goalie; while freshman Carlos Ceppas tied for high scoring honors with Cap- tain Abby Steinsapir. Still another freshman, Sergio Lince, was one of the cleverest playmakers seen in past years. Lyonel Aguilar, one of L.T.I. ' s staunch defensemen, also played brilliantly. Thus sparked by the new men and fortified by the returning veterans, the soccer team turned in a brilliant performance. Jery Gilmore , veteran fullback, made his fourth and final year of soccer his best season as the defensive bulwark in the backfield. Cap- tain Abby Steinsapir, in addition to being high scorer, was also one of the major causes for L.T.I. ' s constant offensive domination of every game. The agile ball- handling of Julio Guimaraes was also a high spot in the Tech offense. In the first game of the season, our kickers were off to a quick start by beating Keene Teachers College, 4-2. Steinsapir of Chile scored two goals, Sergio Lince, one, and veteran Julio Guimaraes one. Lowell domi- nated the entire game with its fine offensive and de- fensive team play. Next came the most heartbreaking outing of the season. At Clark University, the Inter- nationals were held to a scoreless tie in which a goal by Guimaraes was nullified. The defensive play of both teams was splendid. Tech then bounced back with a smashing victory by trouncing Worcester Tech, a good save ' - '  ■ the ref relaxes r ■% ■ ' p $wf 2?? -s .;-.. -r 69 T.I.

Steinsapir slammed three goals into the opponent ' s net. Lowell Tech followed with a shut-out victory over Brandeis University, 3-0. The superiority of the Moreymen came to the fore in this match. Continuing their victorious ways, Lowell ran roughshod over its traditional rival, New Bedford Textile, 7-1. On the Saturday of the All-Tech Formal, the soccer team thrilled the festive crowd by handing Bradford-Durfee a 4-1 loss. To close its most success- ful soccer season, Lowell Tech gained an impressive 5-2 win over a powerful Tufts College squad to avenge the only loss of the previous year. The over-all balance of the squad is self-evident upon an analysis of the season records. Offensively, in eight contests the Internationals scored 34 goals for an average of 4.25 goals per game. The defense of Lyonel Aguilar of Nicaragua, Jerry Gilmore of Brooklyn, Piet Bodenhorst of Ecuador, Fernando Ro- belo of Nicaragua, Jim Litton of the Philippines, Bob Asher of India, Carlos Medeiros, and goalie Jim Lowell was even more sparkling than the offensive. The de- fense allowed but seven goals and never more than two goals in one game. Three shutouts, including the scoreless tie, were turned in by the squad. This defensive play resulted in an average of less than one goal a game against Tech ' s defense. The scoring was also dispersed amongst eight of the Moreymen. Carlos Ceppas and Abby Steinsapir led with nine goals each. Sergio Lince scored five goals, while Abraham Okoro- dudu scored four goals. Cesar Robelo, Ricardo Villa, Harry Demas, Vic Kao, Larry Hince, Jorge Viladoms, Joe Levy, Samuel Galperin, Robert Abadi, Mike Teu- bal, and Lenny Sheroff rounded out the squad giving it the balance, speed, and depth for which it was noted. The 1953 soccer team will long be remembered in the hearts and minds of L.T.I, alumni for being a fighting, colorful, winning band of athletes. in the second half SOCCER TEAM 70 Sitting: Aguilar, Lowell, Lince, Villa.

Captain Tewksbury. The Lacrosse squad, which lost quite a few men from last year ' s starters, began training for this season with a lack of experienced men. The early practices took place in the gym where the fundamentals of stickhandling and passing were emphasized. Last year, the team got off to a very poor start by losing to Amherst by a score of 9 to 1. The supe- riority of this vastly manned squad was never in doubt. However, sparked in the second game by Piet Bodenhorst ' s four goals, the Techmen garnered a 6 to 5 win over Nichols. Benefiting from its experience, the squad began to gradually improve. The third con- test with Tufts was forced into two overtime periods by Tech only to end in a tie. Due to penalties and the length of the game, every man on the bench was able to appear in that contest. The team lost a hard-fought battle to U. of M. by a 4 to 2 margin in its next en- counter. Then L.T.I, journeyed to New Hampshire to compete in the driving rain. The ball was handled rather poorly and was often fired in the turf as play- ing conditions were very unfavorable. The Moreymen dropped this one by another close margin, 3 to 2. The final game of the season was against a strong Worcester Poly Club. The final score was Lowell 2, W.P.I. 8, bringing the record to 1 win, 4 losses, and 1 tie. The leading offensive ball players for L.T.I, were Bodenhorst, who was the top scorer, and co-captains Bob Mulcahy and Earl Sidelinker.

For the Tech putters, this was the crowning achievement of one of the best records ever produced by a Lowell golf team. In addition, Dave Rogers quali- fied for a playoff spot giving him the distinction of being the first golfer in L.T.I, annals to do so. The over-all season ' s record showed five wins and only a single defeat. Opening the campaign against a powerful Dartmouth squad, we surrendered a hard- fought match to them by a 5-2 score. Rogers won handily, and Captain Dick Kelley made it two for us; but after being well ahead in two other matches L.T.I, fell apart; finally lost on the 18th hole. Our sparking putters were not to be denied, how- ever, and they came back strongly to trample Clark 9 to 0. Kelley, Rogers, Warren Rushton, Frank Kap- pler, Paul Harrington, and Charlie Faust all took part in the festivities of the day. Springfield came next and they were vanquished 7 to 2. It was a fine golfing day when W.P.I, came to the Vesper Country Club, our home course. Tech promptly sent them home suf- fering a devastating 9-0 setback. A.I.C. fell next; this time the score was 6 to 3. The intercollegiate play ended with a 24 to 3 victory over Tufts. As can be seen from the fine record of the team, all the Techmen performed well. The only senior on the squad, Captain Dick Kelley, was backed by the excellent showing of such men as Rushton, Kappler, Harrington, Faust, John Reilly, and Bob Waugh.

Starting the season against Merrimack, the racqueteers suffered a close loss by a count of 3-2. Victories for our side went to Steve Adler in the singles and Adler and Don Legow in the doubles. The second match with Keene was another close one with Adler, Legow and Herb Barber leading the way in the individual play. In the doubles, Bud Leventhal teamed with Adler to turn in a win. Legow ' s win at New Hampshire saved L.T.I, from a whitewashing as the score was 8-1. Assumption and W.P.I, whipped the Techmen by respective scores of 6-3 and 7-2, as the season ended. The shining points of the campaign were the steady play of Adler and the fine showing of Legow, who was playing in his first campaign for L.T.I. Our number-one cat-gut wielder, Bud Leventhal, played fine tennis throughout, but it was his misfortune to meet the best the opponents had to offer, including the Yankee Conference Champion from U.N.H.

Woessner The Varsity Club was organized in 1950, and in its four years of existence it has done much in the way of improving athletics at Lowell Technological Institute. The club is composed of lettermen from the va- rious varsity teams at L.T.I. Its purpose is to unite the athletes from all the sports into one common organization in order that they may work for the betterment of athletic conditions on campus, and promote friendships and annual events between the faculty of Lowell Tech, the fraternities of Lowell Tech, and the student bodies of other colleges. Through the guidance of its faculty advisor, Profes- sor James W. Bell, it has achieved many of these goals. This past school year has been a busy one for the Varsity Club, with inter-fraternity sports, pep rallies, and meetings among its many activities. Again this year, the Sports Night was a tremendous success, with all the lettermen receiving their awards for the year. The Varsity Club has worked diligently with the Athletic Association and with the Athletic Committee to promote school spirit, intra-mural activities, and classification of varsity sports. Its long-term objective is to improve the general condition of athletic facili- ties. 80 Row 1, Left to Right: Peterson, Swift, Woessner, Prof. Burtt, Prof. Bell, Prof Cushing, Powell, Steinsapir, Kappler.

A few years later, the name Phi Sigma Rho was chosen for the first textile sorority in the United States. In spite of the small size of the group, it has a great deal of influence on the campus. Phi Sig girls hold office in most of the organizations and have con- tributed in to the success of many school functions. Of necessity, social functions are limited in num- ber; however, they more than make up for this by the good times they afford. The outstanding traditional events are rush parties for the freshmen, Professor Rosatto ' s Christmas party, and the dinner dance. Im- promptu toboggan parties, shopping trips, and hen- parties also provide diversion for the members. This year, the first week of December was desig- nated as Hell Week.

Frazee Vice-Chairman Othello Scarponi Secretary Armand L. Greenhall Treasurer Joseph B. Levy President Don Frazee A fraternity at Lowell Technological Institute is one of the most active of the groups on campus. Al- though each fraternity is a separate and distinct or- ganization, there are certain interests and functions which are commonly shared by all four fraternities. Since its inception in the Fall of 1949, the Inter- fraternity Council has represented the fraternities in the co-ordination and supervision of these common functions and interests. The Council consists of four active members from each fraternity on campus. From these sixteen mem- bers, a chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, and treas- urer are elected near the end of the academic year and the tenure of office is one year. Two of the Council ' s biggest problems are the organization of the rushing-pledging season, and the administration of intrafraternity athletics. In organiz- ing the rushing season, the Council arranges parties so that there are no conflicting dates with school or other functions. Rules concerning the various aspects of rushing and pledging are set down and enforced by this group. The dates of Hell Week are planned so that there is no interference with examinations, social functions, or any school activities. The Council supervises such intrafraternity sports as basketball, bowling, and Softball, and a cup is awarded yearly to the winner of each sport. If a frater- nity demonstrates its athletic prowess by taking the cup three times in succession, then that fraternity is entitled to permanent possession of the trophy. In addition, a chance is afforded each fraternity to gain scholastic honors. There is a yearly award of a scholastic trophy to the fraternity with the highest standing. The fraternity which receives this honor three years in sucession permanently retires the trophy. Thus, the Interfraternity Council serves as a board of directors, with whom the responsibility rests to supervise and co-ordinate the problems and activities common to the four fraternities on campus.

Many of us have demonstrated our athletic ability by participating in varsity athletics such as basketball and baseball, and we are proud of the four members who played on the undefeated soccer squad. This has been our way of showing that we believe extra-curricular activities to be an important part of student life. Our softball team took second place in the Intra- Fraternity League. The fraternity basketball team has started training, and here too we are looking forward to a successful and exciting season. The D. K. bowling team is not to be neglected, and has always been a serious con- tender for the league lead. Our group at the moment is small. Nevertheless, Hell Week of 1953 showed that the new members made up in quality what they lacked in numbers. All the necessary work around the house was accom- plished through the volunteer efforts of the pledges, but time was extended them for studying, in keeping with our belief in the principle of mens sana in corpore sano. The Fraternity Formal was held at the White Turkey Farm in May, and all the Dekes put their best foot forward. Even though everyone had a wonderful time, there was a twinge of sorrow for the approach- ing departure of our graduating brothers. Summer arrived, and most went their separate ways along the points of the compass. However, six Dekes stayed at the house throughout the summer; four attending Summer School and two working on their Master ' s thesis. Weekend parties and cookouts were the order of the day, as well as home cooking with an international flavor. On the very hot days, it was no uncommon sight for the neighbors to see the Dekes cooling each other off with the garden hose. With the new school years, D. K. continued on its way with a series of rushing stags and date parties. The tradition of the YAHMO Party was continued from previous years, and highlighted by the election of a female guest as Yahmo of the Year. The big event of the new social year came in No- vember with our Hobo Convention. The entire first floor of the fraternity house was miraculously trans- formed into a hobo camp, complete with tent, shrubs, two camp fires with boiling pots and dim lights. There was dancing, singing, eating, and drinking — sodas of course — and much merrymaking. At four thirty in the morning it was a very tired Consul that turned the stragglers out into the world away from the comfort of their evening ' s hobo camp. We are all looking forward to the rest of the school year with eagerness and anticipation. We expect our numbers to be swelled by a large pledge class, and Delta Kappa Phi will continue on its fraternal way, proud of its past record, confident in its future, and happy in the knowledge of the part it has played in the transformation of boys into men and fraternity brothers. 88 and the Dean says - 1 89 too tired to go home you can ' t take this omicron pi OFFICERS Archon Robert E.

This year, the fraternities co-operated in a new endeavor, the All-Tech Carnival, and will long remem- ber the O Pi Shooting Gallery which proved so suc- cessful along with the whole affair. The rushing season was climaxed by our thirteenth annual Monte Carlo. There are many about the Tech campu s and in the alumni ranks who well remember the times when they visited the Crescent Casino and tried their luck at roulette, horseracing, and blackjack. Much of our success during the last few years has been due to the seventeen seniors who are leaving our ranks this year. This year, the Lowell Textile Institute bowed to progress and was renamed the Lowell Technological Institute. Many names and procedures have been changed from the Textile era, but the Omicron Pi Fraternity has endured through the days of the Lowell Textile School, the Lowell Textile Institute, and now, with the advent of the Lowell Technological Institute, we look forward to a future crowded with achieve- ment and many memories. fraternity Bowling Trophy and the Upstream Day Canoe Race. Again, O Pi men ranked high in the scholastic standings, though no scholastic cup was awarded since O Pi had retired it the previous year. This year, we were very happy to announce that the kitchen had been re-opened even though the mem- bers were not permitted to live in the house at 31 Waverly Avenue. The O Pi men have a justifiable pride in this house and look forward anxiously to liv- ing there in the very near future. Annually, we await Hell Week as a time for improving and remodeling the house, as well as a time for putting the pledges through their paces. Last year, two new ceilings were put up besides the general fixing, painting, and clean- ing that was done. We find that November 1953 marked the revival of the O Pi EYE, our fraternity newspaper. This pub- lication was originated several years ago but had been discontinued until this time. We sincerely feel that this publication will add to our already strong ties with our alumni and that the brotherhood of past and present members will remain solid for future O Pi men to uphold.

Strzelewicz On March 18, 1903, Phi Psi Fraternity was found- ed by five students at the Philadelphia College of Textile Engineering. The fraternity is dedicated to the following ideals: first, to promote good fellow- ship among the men in schools having a textile curri- culum; second, to encourage a high standard in textile endeavors; and third, to assist, by every honorable means, the advancement of its members. In 1905, Phi Psi Fraternity was incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania. Beta Chapter was organized in 1904 at the New Bedford Textile School, New Bed- ford, Massachusetts. Later that same year, the Gamma Chapter of Phi Psi Fraternity was chartered at the Lowell Textile School. Since the chartering of the Gamma Chapter, six other chapters have been added to the list of active chapters. There are at present twelve alumni chapters in addition to the nine active chapters.

We are a professional fraternity, textile throughout. This means that all of us start with com- mon business interests. We consider the fraternity responsible for a posi- tive contribution to the primary functions of the Insti- tute, and therefore under an obligation to encourage the most complete personal development of its mem- bers, intellectual, physical, and social. The objectives and activities of the fraternity are in entire accord with the aims and purposes of the Institute. There are no religious or racial discriminations made in the selection of new members. The fraternity realizes that its membership must be well rounded and diversified to afford a maximum contribution to the Institute and to itself. In order to achieve this desired effect, the maximum energy is not expended toward either the scholastic or the social activities. We continually strive to achieve a happy medium in both. The fraternity is governed by a Grand Council, which is composed of officers chosen from the alumni and representatives of the various active and alumni chapters. This year, Jim Knox, our social chairman, opened our social calendar with the traditional Welcome Back Party. It was noted that a number of improvements on the house were accomplished by many members during the summer vacation. The pledging season consisted of the usual two date parties and three stag parties to acquaint the new students with the activities and members of the fraternity. Several of our alumni attended these rushing parties, showing their interest in the activities of the chapter, and also helping us to impress upon the new students the meaning of fraternity spirit. At the date parties, a combo helped 96 to keep the prospective members in tune, with the revival of all of the fraternity songs which were sung with the usual amount of liveliness. Again this year, we held the Alumni Party, which provided a medium by which the old and new members could become acquainted. Also, Phi Psi was happy to take part in the first Pep Rally held in three years and hopes that this will become a tradition with the school. Perhaps the greatest display of true Phi Psi spirit was witnessed at our Orphans ' Christmas Party. We are grateful for the assistance provided by the faculty, the members, and their wives in making this party successful. The members seem to enjoy themselves as much as the children. Gala socials were also held on Halloween and New Year ' s Eve. The second semester saw Monte Carlo, Sea Breeze, Shipwreck, and Bird Dog Parties. The cream of the crop was admitted again this year during Hell Week. Not all of Phi Psi ' s success was social. During the past year, Phi Psi men held the major officers, in key positions on many student organizations, such as the Student Council, Tech Players, Newman Club, and others. Phi Psi men were some of the outstanding players on the athletic teams of L.T.I., and members of every student organization. We realize that par- ticipation in extra-curricular activities is an important part of college life, and consequently, we have also promoted softball, basketball, and bowling teams, which have engaged in interfraternity competition. All in all, this year has proven itself to be one of the most successful years Phi Psi Fraternity has en- joyed. Those of us who leave L.T.I, this June will take with us many fond memories of wonderful years spent at the Institute and at Phi Psi, and will leave many hopes for even greater years to come to our college and our fraternity. one more thing young lady 97 smokey night could you lower the key pi lambda phi OFFICERS Rex Armand L.

Ponty Marshall Sidney Solkoff Armand Greenhall Thirty-three years ago, Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity, originally Sigma Omega Psi, was established on the Lowell Textile School Campus. During the succeed- ing years the Fraternity was confronted with many problems, but the persistent efforts of the brothers overcame these obstacles and the chapter grew mark- edly, leading the campus in all phases of school activities. It was in 1949 that this fraternity was installed as the Massachusetts Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Pi Lamb- da Phi and is now one of the outstanding chapters in the national organization as well as the only national social fraternity on the Tech campus. Pi Lam has enjoyed a year in which their social, scholastic and athletic achievements have won many honors for them.

One event that will be remembered when all the excitement of the past year ' s highlights have been forgotten is the annual Christmas Party, held for the children of the Franco-American Orphanage. To see the expression on the faces of those kids receiving their presents, watching cartoons, eating ice cream, and plainly having the time of their lives, would have made anyone feel that even if the Fraternity did noth- ing else, it would be great to be a Pi Lam. On the cultural side, Pi Lam has invited members of the faculty to a hearty dinner, followed by informal discussions on topics of general interest. The excellent reaction shown by the brothers in such discussions illustrates their interest in maintaining sound faculty- student relationships. Pi Lam ' s have placed many leaders in various school activities. The two Editors-in-chief of the Pick- out, the editor of the Text, five athletic team captains, and many other participants in school functions are members of the Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity. The Fraternity has continued to move forward; the current group shows every indication of upholding the fine traditions of the past and is moving steadily ahead in the future. Pi Lam looks to another successful year, with many memories and new friendships, which could be gained only through the existence of a frater- nal atmosphere such as one may find among the mem- bers of Pi Lam. memorable ones which added color to the already gay calendar. The first big affair following the summer recess was the annual All Tech Formal. It was a weekend of partying and merrymaking in which an all-round good time was had by all. These events clearly indicate the outstanding work done by the Pi Lam social committee. In the realm of athletics, Pi Lam certainly made itself heard. Last year saw Pi Lam wind up in second place in both the Intra-fraternity Basketball and Bowl- ing Leagues, but with the aid of the new members, hope is high for the recapture of both the champion- ships. In the Intra-fraternity Softball League, the fraternity conquered its opponents and is now sport- ing a handsome trophy, which, it feels, will soon be retired to the mansion on Livingston Avenue. Work on the house took a prominent place in the activity schedule for the year. An inlaid floor was placed in the dining room; the walls in the kitchen, music room, and dining room were painted. A fire escape was added, and the previously unused garage was removed in order to make room for a proposed outdoor basketball court. These are but a few new changes, and there is hope of adding many more im- provements in the very near future. The fraternity, always interested in promoting its cause and advancing its position in the fraternal com- munity, considers the periods of rushing and pledging to be of the utmost importance. The end of Hell Week saw Pi Lamb usher in fifteen new brothers whose 100 sad song 101 needs oil hi, hi, hi, hi, hi . interfraternity sports BASKETBALL Interfraternity basketball, for many years, has been one of the most popular intramural activities at Lowell Tech, and with the advent of an independent team, competition has grown keener and a greater interest in the league has been experienced by the entire student body. This season, the teams at the top of the list are Phi Psi, the defending champs, and Pi Lambda Phi. Both teams are undefeated thus far with three wins apiece, and they will not meet until the last two games of the season. The Independents have managed two wins against two losses for third place, edging O Pi ' s one and three record. The top scorer of the league, Chick Chicklis, is still trying to lead his team, D. K., to its first victory after tasting defeat four consecutive times. SOFTBALL For the third time in the last four years, Pi Lambda Phi captured the 1953 fraternity soft- ball trophy. Behind the skillful pitching of Larry Horowitz and Hal Cotton, Pi Lam man- aged to pile up an enviable six and one record for the season. Delta Kappa Phi, with hurler Sam Bass at the helm, ran a close second, ringing up a tally of five won and three lost. In the last game, with a possible season tie at their fingertips, D. K. went down against Pi Lam in a heait-breaking two to one loss. The Independents, with flashy Chris Ching- ros doing the throwing, made a good show and finished in the middle of the pack with a record of four and four. Phi Psi, defending champions of the pre- vious season, and Omicron Pi, occupied the cel- lar positions with records of three and five, and one and six respectively. 102 BOWLING The 1954 interfraternity bowling league proved to be a two team race between Omicron Pi and Delta Kappa Phi. With only two weeks left in the campaign, and with a grand total of thirty-one points, Omicron Pi has a six-point lead over Delta Kappa. At this time, Omicron Pi seems assured of winning its fourth straight bowling title. Pi Lambda Phi and Phi Psi are in their own private battle for the number three spot in the league. Pi Lam a two-point edge over Phi Psi ' s total of eleven, and how it will end is anyone ' s guess. cl asses FRESHMAN CLASS SOPHOMORE CLASS JUNIOR CLASS SENIOR CLASS ■ feit. mm ISXnJpSiSSiSSBmlSSa senior class OFFICERS President Othello Scarponi Vice President William G.

Like filings drawn to a huge magnet, the Junior Class terminated its varied summer activities and returned to college life. For many of us, the trip back included vivid discussions of the previous semester ' s happenings such as the fabulous Club Eames, spon- sored by the Class of ' 54 and ' 55, the All-Tech Formal with the rippling rhythm of Shep Fields, and the ad- dition of the lovely L.T.C. girls to our spacious cam- pus. We listened at the President ' s Convocation to our new Dean of Students, Richard W. Ivers, and our new Dean of Faculty Charles F. Edlund, whose words to the wise gave a rebirth to our determination to attain Dean ' s List averages. Uncle Sam had diminished our number to about 100. Many of us were wondering how we stood with the ROTC. Before registration, we met in room S-325 awaiting what turned out to be bad news for some of us. Colonel Kelly told us that under the new regula- tions, those accepted in Advanced ROTC would have to qualify for flight training. As a result, only 19 Junior birdmen were accepted into Advanced ROTC. The rest of us, now cast out among our draft boards and at their beck and call, felt a lot better about the ending of the Korean War and the subsequent drop in the draft quota. Now, feeling more confident about being able to complete our education here at L.T.I. , our outlook improved and life in general seemed to be looking better each day. Certainly, the tide of optimism could not easily be stemmed now by the forces of studies and exams. Or so we hoped! Then, as the actual school year began, we were all back in the groove trying to figure out the new cut system and attending our first junior classes. The first meeting of the various organizations, led by many members of the Class of 1955, were called and plans were underway for a banner year of successful events.

And so we entered Lowell Textile and were to emerge from Lowell Technological. The change seemed like a significant step forward. The Student Council began immediate plans for the All- Tech Formal Weekend. It was a huge success, with the innovation of a Block Party, sponsored by the Interfraternity Council, which was held on Friday, Oc- tober 30, in the Library parking area. The formal was held the next night at the Crystal Ballroom in And- over, Massachusetts, with the music of Billy Butter- field helping to make this — the fourth annual formal — the most successful of all. With the opening of the basketball season, a huge pep rally was held the night before the Massachusetts Institute of Technology game. The Junior Class mem- bers livened the affair with conduct befitting a pep rally. Coach Morey claimed it was the best example of school spirit he had seen since his days at Dartmouth, thanks to the Junior Class. It certainly launched L.T.I. into a new era — one which saw this resurgence of spirit become firmly entrenched. As the Christmas vacation came upon us, we left this spacious campus with hopes of regaining con- sciousness. Returning to L.T.I., we were convinced that our brilliant minds were finally prepared for the semester exams. Nevertheless, many of us remained 108 on top. During the few days following, many took off to the ski resorts, trying to forget and hoping they would forgive. Plans were made to rent St. John-the-Baptist Rec- reation Center for a skating-dance party. This was a huge success followed by some aches and pains. This, called the Stocking-Foot Dance, was held February 5, and proved that a class-sponsored affair could be handled properly. It was a social success. We were all looking forward towards the month of April with only five days of school because of the Textile Machinery Show at Atlantic City. As usual, a large percentage of the class attended. We all left with many new ideas and some new interests. During the month of May, cramming took over where jamming left off except for a few scattered trips to Cranes Beach to drown our sorrows of the past month among the friendly sea gulls. With the able assistance of our class officers, we rounded out another eventful year. Next year — Seniors! — not that too many of us were looking for- ward to it, but we were three-fourths the way down that road to graduation day. 109 sorry fellas, forgot the punch line sophomore class OFFICERS President Harold N.

Due to various and sundry reasons, however, only one hundred survivors of an original one-hundred and fifty students were present for the bell which began round two. Those remaining vowed that less shaving cream and water would flow in the dorms. After all, Calculus and Organic Chemistry had to be conquered. God Bless the five-year men! And, of course, to those who had begun with us in 1952, but who were no longer with us, we wished the best of luck. Some of them were taking their courses with the U. S. Army, while others left via the survival of the fittest theory, which had been ex- plained to us during our Freshman Orientation Week. Regardless of the circumstances, the fact remained that the one hundred proud members of the Class of ' 56 had to acclimate ourselves once again to L.T.I. We had to prepare for a second year — a year in which we would begin to travel the path to our educa- tion in our chosen courses. It was also the year when the worst of us branched out to follow our chosen specialties. Words like denier, twist, card and loom entered our vocabularies. Turning to lighter and brighter things, the Fall Social Calendar afforded the romantic element of our class many incidents to build memories upon. Club Eames was the first of these affairs, at which time the class was well represented. The fifth annual All-Tech Formal Weekend followed soon after. The many sophomores who attended the formal at the Crystal Ballroom swooned to the sweet tunes of Billy Butter- field and then dispersed to the dare you to last house parties. Smiling Jack had nothing on many of the male members of the class during these Autumn months. Almost every Saturday found various cadets taking to the air for the first-hand views of Northeastern New England sponsored by the A.F.R.OT.C.

Ill over staffed operation the Air, Junior Birdman was the theme song of the day. Some of us awoke to a new experience as we were indoctrinated into the world of flight, due to the R.O.T.C. policy of allowing us to get the feel of a plane. For some of us, this meant a sudden interest in a career as a pilot with the U. S. Air Force. For others, it was something to write home about, anyway. Thanksgiving was soon upon us, and with it the opening of the basketball season. One-third of the varsity claimed membership in our class and per- formed admirably to the delight of the entire college. A resurgence of school spirit also appeared at this time and ' 56 was eagerly led on by our own pretty co-ed cheerleaders, whose appearance on the scene rescued the otherwise placid upperclassmen from the depths of indifference and left them with laryngitis. We had hardly begun to enjoy life in 1954 when we faced mid-year exams. The midnight oil burned . . . But he should have given more part credit was heard in corridors aplenty. These days were soon for- gotten, however, with the beginning of the second semester. Pledging commenced and we, as the Sadistic Sophomores, played a prominent role. The Military Ball Weekend, a highlight of the Spring Term, took place in mid-February. The fond memories it left, coupled with the work and fun of Hell Week, were the inspirations which carried us up to the spring recess. Ah! Life was so sweet. The baseball season was ushered in with exuber- ance, and once again the sophomores demonstrated their capabilities by helping to make the sport a suc- 112 cess. It was during this season that the big event of the year occurred; the Textile Machinery Show in Atlantic City. Many of the class joined their fellow students and members of the faculty in the trip South. Al- though we may never again witness such an exposi- tion as students, it was our hope that we would be able to attend future exhibitions as members of in- dustry. Actually, we are not very different from the aver- age class. We flunked our share of tests and excelled in many others. We took our cuts, had our visits with the Dean, even submitted a weak account of our ac- tivities to the Pickout, but on looking back, we find that this past school year has been very fruitful, both academically, socially and culturally. Led by its cap- able officers, the class actively participated in all school endeavors. In addition to the appearance of many of our classmates who represented Tech on the athletic field, we take pride in the fact that the progressive spirit of the Class of 1956 has not only made a definite contribution to the advancement of the Lowell Tech- nological Institute, but to the individual as well. We sincerely believe that the attitude of our class will carry it to great heights, leaving its mark on Lowell Tech for all to see and remember. Certainly we were among the first students to witness and experience a re-surgence of a college atmosphere here at Tech, and rather like to think, we played our part in creating it as well as sustaining what is generally termed school spirit. We think it ' s here to stay! 2 relaxing in the smoker 113 freshman class OFFICERS President H. Kenneth Cohen Vice President Carlos A. Ceppas Secretary Frances S. Delaney Treasurer Richard C.

The Class of 1957 is the largest freshman class ever to enter L.T.I, and it is the first class to enter Lowell Technological Institute. A spirited group of young men and women has emerged from the bewildered horde of strangers which registered September 13. The transition started dur- ing Orientation Week when they were removed from the world of high school and introduced to college life and behaviour. Several tests, which took up a good part of the week were administered to determine the scholastic backgrounds and general intelligence of the group. Guided tours of the Institute, talks pre- sented by various campus leaders, and the Freshman Smoker all helped introduce the Frosh to their new surroundings, to the faculty and upperclassmen, and. most important of all, to their own classmates. Classes started the following week and the rou- tine of schoolwork soon became familiar — too fam- iliar evidently, for when the results of the four and eight-weekers were announced, lights remained on a little later at night as many realized the need for con- scientious work and study. Perhaps the strangest part of college life, and, for many, the most difficult to become accustomed to, was the R.O.T.C. Although completely unfamiliar with military procedure and protocol, the Frosh learned quickly, and soon order replaced chaos on the drill field, and saluting and sir-ing became second nature. Naturally, social activities were not neglected and CLUB EAMES, one of the finest organized social func- tions proved to be a great success. The All-Tech Formal and the Military Ball followed and saw many freshmen and their dates participating in the fun and thoroughly enjoying themselves. February 2, 1954, was a big day for many of the men in the freshman class. During the first semester, the four fraternities here at Lowell had been holding rushing functions in order to get to know the new students, and for the students to get to know them. Now the bids were out, and the decisions which would decide our fraternal affiliations for the rest of our lives were made. The organization of the class by the election of officers established the class as an active group on the L.T.I, scene. The officers chosen were: Ken Cohen, President; Carlos Ceppas, Vice President; Fran De- laney, Secretary; Dick Savage, Treasurer; and Joe Van der Linden, Student Council Representative. Many other freshmen represent their class by ac- tive participation in various school activities, and, by this time, the class has become a part of Lowell Tech- nological Institute. It, in turn, has become a part of the freshman class. This first year has brought self-confidence, indust- riousness, enthusiasm, and determination to all of us, and if we have not learned anything else, we have certainly learned that no permanent success can be won without hard work and integrity.

Today millions of pounds of even the finest count yarns are being drafted by single pro- cess on fluted all-metallic Ideal Drawing Rolls. The yarn is uniformly evener and stronger than is produced on conventional drawing. Carefully kept mill records also show substantial reductions in production costs after Ideal ' s are installed. Write for our four page folder. Patent Nos. 2,610,363; 2,490,544; 2,412,357. Very recently it has been discovered that Ideal Drawing Rolls can successfully blend synthetic fibres and combed cotton of un- equal lengths . . . something which has never before been possible and which offers tre- mendous possibilities to yarn mills. Other similarly unusual experiments are now being made in American mills. Other patents pending. Ideal Industries, Inc. Bessemer City, N. C.

We, the editors and staff of the 1954 Pickout, express our sincerest thanks and appreciation to those who have lent a hand in the creation of this year ' s book. Professor Russell M. Fox, our guardian angel, who supervised our actions with a hand that was strong when we faltered. Professor Louis W. Stearns, Protector of the English language, who withstood just about all the pains and tortures that a Grammarian could, in the checking and re-writing department. Mrs. C. A. Johnson and Mr. Robert Vantine, representatives of one of the finest photographic studios in New England, who helped to prepare the best collection of photographs that an L.T.I, yearbook has ever seen. The Administration and Faculty, which has tolerated our existence with its unceasing endurance. Miss Rita M. McKenna, who is number one on our hit parade of secretaries, for doing the ' most ' in the line of re-writing. Mr. Raymond O ' Toole, Mr. Arthur Flynn and Mr. Daniel Barrick, of T. O ' Toole Sons, publishers, for taking us over the rough spots. Mr. Wallace C. Butterfield, without whose signature this yearbook could not have been processed. The advertisers, who kept the yearbook in the black with their loyal support. And to the girls and boys that have listened to the wrath and rage, moans and groans, of their cruel taskmasters as they carried out their respective jobs on the Pickout with their utmost in quality and speed. It would be next to impossible, even for Professor Stearns, to find the adjective that would express the degree of thanks that the editors of this year ' s Pickout wish to extend to their staff for their cooperation and loyalty.
