I 1 9 5 6 P C « II Lowell eclinologtcal institute Prof. Russell M. Fox to Professor Kussell M Vox Who has given a great part of himself to the Lowell Technological Institute in the thirty five years he has been with us. Who has taught and guided with a firm, steady hand thousands of students that have graduated and become successful men in our Democracy. Who has made it possible in the past years for the staff of this year- book to produce an annual which is a credit to this Institute. we dedicate the 7956 Piekout . . . and we extend to Russell M. Fox our appreciation and great debt of gratitude for his loyalty and devotion to his family, members of the faculty, and students. His retirement will bring him an even greater abundance of knowledge and joy as he employs himself in the pleasures of life. We, the students, sincerely hope that we may continue to see him in the Halls of L.T.I. able of Contents ADMINISTRATION GREEKS SENIORS CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS DIRECTORY ATHLETICS ADVERTISERS bmtmst ratio n an b Fatuity President Martin J. Lydon PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE An education that will help you to lead a rich, full, and successful life.-.-, .a sound, well-balanced program of interesting courses presented by a competent faculty. . .lasting friendships. . .extracurricular activities. . .a diverse and stimu- lating intellectual life. . .these are some of the goals which your college set out to provide for you, as you matriculated four years ago. Your career at Lowell Tech, since that time, has kept pace in expansion and maturity with the program of growth and diversification carried on by the Institute itself. Now, in a dynamic decade at LTI which has seen the crystallization of a broadly envisioned building plan, another milestone has heen marked by the strengthening of the curriculum. By the introduction of a course in general engi- neering next September, LTI adds to its justly-renowned curricula in specialized engineering training a new program which will provide specialists in diver- sification for the industry of the future. In addition, you have seen our technological and scientific curricula supple- mented by courses in the humanities for the development of the whole man in his moral, mental, social, and physical life. In the age of specialization in which we live, it is of the utmost importance to secure the integration of the human personality, so that man will remain constant in his over-all aims and purposes while meeting, at the same time, the vicissitudes of circumstance with an unshaken grasp on reality and with optimistic trust in their outcome. Today the Institute is called upon to play an even more difficult role-that of preparing men to meet the demands of expanding industries and the increa- singly complex challenge of the Age of Automation. It is the objective of the Institute to serve successive generations of young people as one of the leading engineering universities of the nation. Recalling our physical expansion from a single-to a ten-building campus within a few years, coupled with the great strides made in broadening and improving our academic program, it does not seem too immodest to hope that this achievement may be brought to complete fruition m the near future. My charge to you, as you leave the Institute where you have spent four de- manding but rewarding years, is to bring to your work, to your community, and to industry-at-large the qualities of leadership which we have sought to instill in you. The Institute has given its best efforts to creating in each one of you a pro- duct of which we are proud. I know that you will continue to uphold that pride and, in turn, will express your confidence and support in the progress and develop- ment of your Alma Mater. Graduate s of the Class of 1956, my sincere congratulations to you upon your accomplishment, and to each of you my very best wishes for your future success and happiness! Dean Charles F. Edlund Dean Richard W.

On keeping with the current trend at LTI, e.g. an expanding program, the de- partment, under the Chairmanship of Dr. Griffin, endeavors to present both the the- oretical and practical entities of chemistry. Such a program produces a graduate who is not only proficient in the textile indus- try, but who has sufficient preparation, facilitating his adaptation to any phase of the chemical industry or even to further and higher education.

Brown Chairman of Division Prof. Head Paper I ■ I John Lewis of Dept. of Engineering The engineering department, headed by Professor Harry Brown includes among its subdivisions the plastics, Electronics, paper, leather, textile and general engineer- ing courses. These courses are set up so that each will present to students enrolled in it, both fundamental and practical train- ing, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in their respective fields. The recent es- tablishment of a general engineering course not only exemplifies the constant expansion which is under way in the engineering de- partment, but also that more and better engineers will be graduated from LTI in the future.

For here it was, the start of a new phase of life, college. The following four years, or five, or six, could determine their success in the future. We were led to room PL 321 in the new Paper and Leather Building. There we arose from our seats to greet the Dean of Students, Wentworth W. Williams and Nathan Reed, Dean of Faculty. Martin J. Howard was also along for the ride. There they were with their long black robes, like a choir, ready to sing. The usual pep talk followed and the new students were on the verge of cheers. Then our somber Dean made his encouraging statement. Look to the left and look to the right. One of you three students will graduate in 1956! This remark had varied effects on the students. Some were scored and quite shaken. One of the girls fainted. Some were indifferent; others were joking, Oh horse ... ! He ' s a riot! Who gives a damn? Someone snored. After the ball was over, we made a trip to see the Registrar. We received a generous bundle of assorted forms and literature to fill out. There were registration forms, course cards, propaganda sheets, automobile regis- tration forms, class schedules, insurance forms, and feminine forms. Talk about red tape ! The next stop was the Bursar, and L.T.I, branch of Brink ' s Inc. Our fat wallets were soon depleted as the list of tuition, fees, deposits and and more fees was added up. The activity fee covers a multitude of sins. It would have been much smarter to be inactive. Oh well, the Dean must need a new car. Gradually, we wandered up to the book store. There, we were told that we could get all our freshman supplies for a very moderate fee. The unwise agreed to the package deal . They were soon loaded down with a drawing board, T-square, drawing set, ink erasers, pencils (soft, medium and hard), the kitchen sink , etc. and to top it all off, an L.T.I, discount card! This resulted in many cases of bankruptcy. Then there was the R.O.T.C. physical at Fort Devens. Our first im- pression of the military was a series of very long lines of naked men wait- ing to be jabbed with a needle or to spread their cheeks. All that could see passed the physical. After our return to the campus, we were issued uni- forms, complete from shoes to hat. What no regulation blue nylon tooth- brush ? The fun was soon over as we started classes at L.T.I. This was the beginning of the end for many. Who invented chemistry at 8 A.M., and physics at 4 P.M.? Math was good for a few laughs, and English was a ball. Mechanical drawing required a Very sharp pencil. and the pens made pretty good darts. Some joker wrote a book called Using Your Mind Effectively . For what? An even greater joker taught the course. We were compelled to attend, yet we received no credit. Oh well, this was our first taste of the L.T.I, precision ground shaft. It was no time at all before we had several R.O.T.C. demerits. We became quite conscious of shoe shines, hair cuts, shaves, pressed uniforms and buttoned buttons. Soon we were flunk ing quizzes and handing in late lab reports just like upperclassmen. The profs warned about final exams and summer school, but we were too busy attending fraternity parties to even care. Life could be so much fun if school would not interfere with social events. It was not long before many of us found out what a hangover really was, and the true meaning of lost weekend . The eight week exams came and went, and left many a freshman grasping for breath. The holiday season rolled around, and as we left for the Christmas vacation we had much studying to do to prepare for final exams. Needless to say, the vacation was a ball, but who had time to study? Then came that fateful experience, our first finals. Gee, did we cram. Coffee and no-doze pills were used extensively by most. The results gene- rally were not very pleasant. Oh well, that is why they have summer school ! We started the second semester with faithful vows to study regularly each night, and be well prepared for the next finals. The probation list appeared, and we found that we had plenty of company. It was most en- couraging to see that someone made the Dean ' s List ! The summer passed, but many Freshmen didn ' t. September arrived, and we were greeted by two new Deans, who are still humming around. We were then very wise Sophomores, or so we thought. Many words of wisdom fell from our lips to the eager ears of the new Freshmen. This was the year of Physics 202, and many fell by the wayside in Calculus. Organic Chemistry was very important in the minds of many, and nucleophilic attacks were numerous. Ernie James, thrilled the chemist with his Quant. Course, and our collections of jokes increased markedly. R.O.T.C. was also included in our schedule, and demerits were feared bv all. Rushing parties were started and those of us who had joined fra- ternities were busily meeting all of the interested Freshmen. We seemed to have more parties than we had dates. The All-Tech Weekend was high- lighted by the music of Billy Butterfield. Also, the parking lot behind the library was the scene of the carnival with booths provided by the frats. The holidays rolled around, and we journeyed home with good in- tentions of studying for finals. After the usual blast and round of parties, we returned with the unopened books. Oh well, we meant well. Sophomore finals made us weep, and many hours of sleep were lost. The frats sent out bids to prospective members, and the Sopho. nore frat men began to dream up weird stunts for their pledges. Many hours were spent in this form of endeavor and someone came up with the game using a cake of ice and an olive ! Marks appeared and quite a few students disappeared. Hell week- arrived, and sleeping students were rather common. The sophomores were eager in their quest for revenge, and became physical wrecks suffering from loss of sleep and ruptured vocal chords. The pink issue of the text appeared, but was a far cry from its pre- decessor. Plans were completed for the Machinery Show in Atlantic City, and the L.T.I, family journeyed to the Beach city. Remember the cries of anguish Stop the Bus, the exhibits, pipe her down , the march down the boardwalk, the Alumni Banquet in Haddon Hall were spirits at a peak. The Tech Players ' presentation of Remains to be Seen , the frat formals, Senior Stag and Upstream Day took a hectic toll of the finals. We were off for a carefree summer. We became somewhat tired of golf courses, beaches and drive-ins; we were eager to return to the Moody Air Base . After the usual morning of filling out numerous forms, in triplicate, we began to realize that our class, had again decreased in number. The large majority of the troops dropped R.O.T.C, and felt much relieved, - no more demerits ! It was a pleasure to be able to ignore the R.O.T.C. Bulletin Board. Something new appeared on the L.T.I, campus. Freshmen hazing. The small figures looked real cool in their little red beanies, and woe was he who failed to tip. The defiant Frosh got revenge on Field Day, and at the All-Tech Banquet, discarded their beanies in a wild manner. We were Juniors, and were soon deluged in a flood of lab reports ! There was testing with Jake the Statistician ' Cushingomics. It was a sin the way our studies interfered with our Coasting . After all, dancing girls must earn a living also. Cumnock Hall was dedicated. At the dedication Vice-President Dick Nixon received an honorary Doctorate Degree. He had not even paid his tuition. It practically turned into a Republican rally - pink elephants and all. A skit night and informal dance were featured at the first I.F.C. weekend. Claude Thornhill journeyed to Cumnock for the All-Tech Week- end. Hell week occurred as usual, keeping the nurse quite busy. A Slight Case of Murder was performed, the frats enjoyed their formals, the Senior Stag put on Social Pro, and Upstream Day was the usual blast. Finals came and went ; so did we. For the last year, we hoped, the class of ' 56 trudged back to the Yellow Mill. We were now seniors and would be soon turned loose to en- lighten the world. Freshmen gazed at us in admiration, and wondered at our carefree attitude? We spent ever so many hours in Finishing and actually learned to sew. Many yards of fabric were ruined. We also had some conflagrations. Huh ? Robbie hacked his way thru the Molly Maguires unions, and life in general. Interviews took 50% of our time, and we enjoyed being wined and dined on second interviews. Job offers started rolling in, and then began the perplexing task of deciding where to go - if we graduate. The Players went all out and did Mr. Roberts with no holds barred. Lowell Tech made the headlines as Bette Davis and husband Gary Merrill were guests of the Players. Cumnock Hall was actually filled to capacity, the applause was thunderous. The cast did an excellent job in a production which will long be remembered. Our Senior Stag had arrived. We grabbed our mugs, and hurried off to our respective frat houses. Fellowship was everywhere, the floors, the walls, the ceiling. We made the rounds again and again until we could no longer find our way. Such a night we had, never seen before. When we awoke the following morning (heaven only knows how we got to bed) our heads were in real poor shape. However, this was no day for sack, it was Upstream Day. Off we went to Canobie Lake. The Senior-Faculty game, the wild roller coaster, and the great chicken pie. Everyone was having a ball. Marty even took off his tie. The next day we were back to classes, but muffled moans and curses were everywhere. The Dean (or was it someone above?) had thrust his mighty shaft. DK, Phi Psi, and O Pi were on Pro due to the Senior stag. We were not given a chance to explain or discuss the charges. This is what really made us bitter. Oh well, just like the old days, L.T.I, never changes. Finals hit us for the last time. Then we waited for the results. Were we doomed to another year at Lowell Tech? Some of us were, but 60 made the grade. The Baccalaureate was here. We donned caps and gowns, and listened to Dr. Teikmanis speak on Religion in an Age of Science . After a buffet luncheon we again donned our caps and gowns for the zero hour was near. Before we knew it, we had marched down the aisle, Robert Cutler had finished his address, the awards so justly deserved were given. We now- received that precious sheepskin Joe Smith, B.S. sounded mighty im- pressive. Fame and fortune were not far away. The troops were then com- missioned lieutenants in the USAF, lucky guys? After a seventh inning stretch , we received the charge from President Marty. Never had he aid more, in so few words. Then it was over. We marched out in silence as the organ refused to mutter a sound. Oh well, music is only a minor detail at L.T.I, anyway. We shook hands with classmates and swapped best wishes for future success. Some classmates we would never see again. We were all going our separate ways - industry, military life, and some to grad school. As we now look back over the last four years, one can ' t help but smile about the gay weekends, parties, finals, lectures, labs and floor shows. These memories will always be with the class of ' 56, no matter where we go in search of fame and fortune. Maybe someday we will return for a class reunion at our dear old A ' ma Mater, and who knows, maybe we will send our kids to Lowell Tech. n 55 4? K % -™  - l ' iiV l I wmmm.

The function of the Council is to assume the role of liason between the student body and the administra- tive branch of the school. It also acts as the coordi- nator and the administrator of all student activities. The Council is comprised of twelve members, four of whom are elected by the entire student body. The remaining eight seats are occupied by the president and council representatives of each of the four class- es. This year, as in the past, the election of the four council Oificers took place before the spring vacation; the upper class elections were held after the spring recess. The election of the freshman class officers ' preceded the first semester orientation program. This year as in the past two years, the T.O.C., Tech. Orientation Committee, which governs the Freshman Orientation Program, was highly success- ful. The program was climaxed by the All-Tech Ban- quet held in late October with more than four hundred freshmen, upperclassmen and invited guests in atten- dance. This year the Council endeavored to promote a sig- nificantly different and outstanding All-Tech Weekend. It was felt by the Council that the scope of this ann- ual affair should be increased to match the growth of the school itself. The Moulin Rouge motifs noted around the cam- pus weeks preceding the weekend attracted many to this extravaganza. The weekend commenced Friday evening with Cluo Moulin Rouge as the center of attraction. For this function Cumnock Hall was gaily decorated in the decore of a combination night club and casino, games of chance and an entertainment program highlighted the evening. I • _J Saturday afternoon gave way to the largest motor- cade, in the history of the school, through the City of Lowell. The motorcade was preceded by the selection of the Queen for the Weekend at an informal tea held for the contestants in the Trustees ' Room of Cumnock Hall. On Saturday evening the Moulin Rouge Ball in all its grandeur, was held at Cumnock Hall with the Commanders furnishing the melotones for dancing. Highlighting the evening was the entrance of the Queen and her Court, escorted by a corps of Color Guards, The evening was climaxed by the Queen ' s Dance amidst a shower of balloons. One of the most noteworthy of the councils achie- ments other than in the social vein - this year - was the formulation of the Dean ' s Key Award. Commen- cing this June, the Student Council will Annually award a gold key to a student of above average scho- lastic achievement who in the opinion of the Dean ' s Committee has shown outstanding qualities of leader- ship and service benefiting the Institute in the field of student activities. Other student activities sponsored by the Council is the traditional school picnic - Upstream Day- which was held this year in the latter part of May, and con- vocations to familiarize the students with the various candidates running for student government offices. In this respect the high standards of the student government can only be achieved by the present cal- iber of its leaders. It is sincerely hoped that the act- ivities sponsored by the student Council will broaden, However, the sucess of its efforts will largely dep- end upon the support and the participation of the entire student body.

Hard work and determination were necessary to bring this book to press, since ideas must be conceived, layout planned, stories written, numerous pictures taken and advertising solicited to obtain the funds and with which to function. Wilbur Kaplan and his sometimes called cousin , Dennis Kaplan, the Editor- in-Chief and Business Manager respective- ly, organized a talented and an efficient staff to carry out the work. Kenneth Cohen was chosen to be Photography Editor, and Jim Davies was elected Literary Editor. To lay out the Pickout the inseparable pair of Fran Delaney and Frank Hogan were chosen because of their compatability. Early in September, assignments were distributed and the ball was rolling. Writers began to gather facts and the groundwork was laid to publish the finest Pickout in history. At the same time, the Business Staff went into action proving to be very successful as this year ' s book showed a profit for the first time in many years. 1st row — Cohen, Kopelowitz, Kaplan, Delaney, Hogan, Denio 2nd row — Coppeta, Klimpl, Davies, Cahill, Shneider, Savarese 82 Besides making a profit this year the Pickout is having an expansion program coupled with the use of many new ideas. With the help and guidance of Professor Fox, our Pickout advisor, many more sections have been added to the book. A complete section of senior informals will be used this year. A section on two of the school ' s big weekends will help our stu- dents remember the good times they had at Lowell Tech. Several sections of second color will be enhanced to make the book more attractive. The first page of the book will have two full color views of the Insti- tute. This will be the first time full color photographs will be used in our yearbook. It is indeed a great pleasure to work for the Pickout because of the many oppor- tunities it affords a student. In addition, there is an inner satisfaction of doing a good job. 1956 PICKOUT STAFF J Editor in Chief William Kaplan Business Manager Dennis Kaplan Layout Editors Prank Hogan Fran Delaney Literary Editor James Davies Photography Editor Kenneth Cohen GENERAL STAFF Photography: Morton Snyder Edgar Slatkin Joan Mozykowski Gerry Savarese Arthur Tracy John Carter Richard Herman Literary Staff: Frank Raudelunas Owen Tierney Al Denio Bernie Stein Richard Silver Leonard Copetta Advertising Manager: Pete Popper Business: Melvin Sarnoff Robert Schiek Roy Zuckerberg Robert Kriegal Richard G.

The present members of the organization have attempted to record the pulse of the in- stitute and present the academic, sport, and organizational news in an endeavor to maintain and stimulate the interest of the student body in the welfare institute. At the outset of the school year Larry Kopelowitz and John C. Ferenbach assumed leadership of the organization. Their immediate objective was to reform the administrative foundation of the paper. Appointed to editorial positions were Bill Spielman, Howard Zins, Leonard Lifland, and Martin Birnbaum. Dave Peck was chosen as Business Manager. A fourteen page Christmas Issue, the annual Pink Issue, and the Special Alumni Issue were but a few of the outstanding highlights of the year. The upset dealt MIT by the LTI Basketball Team prompted a special flyer which was received with great satisfaction. Through the efforts of your editors, information concerning the LTI expansion program was secured through an interview with President Mar- tin Lydon.

Brown Financial Advisor: John R. Sanders At the annual election held after publi- cation of the Pink Issue, Bill Spielman was elected to serve as Editor-in-Chief for the 1956-1957 school year. Leonard Lifland and Richard Silver were elected to the positions of Managing Editor and Business Manager, respectively. The 1955-1956 TEXT underwent several radical changes during the school year. The size of the paper, layout, and style was con- tinually altered in an attempt to provide the best possible paper with a minimum of operational expense. The sincere and valu- able cooperation of Miss Barbara A. Browne, faculty advisor of the organization, was a most significant factor in the quality of the publication. The newly elected members of the editor- ial Board of the TEXT, through extensive planning, expect to further increase the quality of the paper by incorporating sev- eral new features, expanding its photo- graphic coverage of institute events and enhancing the appearance of the publica- tion. The publication of each issue of the Text entailed many long hours of writing and rewriting and layout on the part of each editor and his staff. But, its ultimate worth is easily proven. Every effort is made to promote campus spirit and develop the in- dividual student. However, the greatest gain ultimately comes to the editors and staff. It can be easily seen where the Text mem- ber is improved academically by the ex- perience gained through merely writing and rewriting copy. Actually, the support- ing functions of the newspaper provide the greatest benefits. Planning, organization, supervising, coordinating and controlling are the general operations necessary for each issue, and proper administration of the organization. These same operations are the backbone of much of America ' s in- dustries. It is sincerely felt that the participation on the Text exposes one to very important principles and ideas, all aiming to make a better student and better college. 85 Marcella Czekanski President Marcella Czekanski Alan Denio John Scaringi Frances Libbey Harry Tobler Chairman Vice Chairman Treasurer Corresponding Sec. Recording Sec. Thirty five years ago Dr. Louis Olney organized a group known as the Textile Chemical Organization . In 1922 on December 16, the group reorganized under the title of the Am- erican Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists . Thus the first chapter of the A.A.T.C.C. was founded. The organization is unique in so far as it is the sole link between the textile student and the vast textile industry. The student chapter like the national, is exclusively devoted to textile chemistry. Since 1922, nine student chapters have made their appearance on Textile school campuses throughout the country. The chap- ter here at L.T.I, is very active and all possible endeavors are made to keep the student interested and to encourage other Textile Chemistry majors to participate by taking up member- ship. Among the many varied activities is the April meeting which is one of the events of the year. Ihis spring, the students con- ducted this meeting as usual, having the New England section of the A2 as invited guests, to hear papers ably presented by students engaged in the master ' s program. A day is deyoted to the presentation of this program, the afternoon being given to guided tours about the school and to talks presented by under- graduates . The papers are presented in the evening and is followed by a social hour, enabling the student to meet some of the National Chapter members and to gather current news on the textile industry. Throughout the course of the year several of our meetings were enhanced by the presence of leading textile men. The first speaker appeared at our November meeting. Mr. Gould spoke on the subject of color and its measurement. The second speaker was Mr. Nuttall, superintendent of the converting de- partment of the Merrimac Mills. His topic for the evening was Problems in the Finishing of Corduroys. The last speaker was Mr. Birdsell, who gave a brief but informative dissertation on the methods of mothproofing woolen fabrics. His discussion was preceded by a brief film. This has been a very successful year for the AATCC and much of its success is due to the able guidance of our advisor Prof. Robert Perient. With the interest of the faculty and the initiative of the students we are assured of the future progress of this organization at Tech. Left to right: 1st row- Low, W.; Obear, F.; Pedrick, W. H.

At that time, the society consisted of seven students; and since then, has grown steadily until now it has forty- seven members. The purpose of the society is to pro- mote fellowship and scholarship within the group. This is accomplished by seminars and dinner-meetings at which men from the paper field discuss techniques and pro- blems of the industry with the students. The men invited to these meetings are usually those who concern them-selves with phases of the industry with which the student has no direct contact. These would be paper salesmen, paper merchants, tech- nical salesmen, and the like. In May of each year, the members in- vite the freshmen to a get-together at which they are indoctrinated into the society. Pierre Jacques President P. Jacques J. Finnegan J.

Among the more noteworthy organi- zations to be founded on this campus is the Nucleus. This organization, though only in its eighth year of existance, has done much in the way of adding decorum to its membership. The purpose of the Nucleus is to pro- vide its members with an opportunity to get first hand experience in the fields of public speaking, human relations, semi- nars, 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 themselves. Each member shares his practical knowledge and experience with the other members through a series of monthly seminars con- ducted 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 following the seminar. Membership in the Nucleus is restric- ted 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 indus- try.

It is a character building group which offers service on the campus, to the school, and the community. Membership in Circle K is open to second, third, and fourth year male stu- dents who show interest and ability to par- ticipate in the functions and activities of the organization. Monthly dinner meetings are held at which guest speakers discuss topics of mutual interest. The Circle K year of activity begins early in September when the members aid the administration and TOC to orien- tate innocent freshmen to the worldly ways of LTI. During orientation week, Circle K ' s proctor exams, assist at the Freshman Smoker, give guided tours through the jungle of LTI, and run the Freshman Out- ing program of games and sports. This past year, Athletic Al Denio serving as Philip Lamprey President chairman of the Circle K committee for the Frosh Outing, came up with a wide assortment of activities from softball to the infamous cake biting contest which really had the Frosh in a lather. Another campus activity of the club is the administration of a Freshman Tutor- ing Program whereby upperclassmen aid Freshmen who have difficulties with phy- sics, mathematics, chemistry, and drawing. Dick Savage capably arranged the after school classes for this program and served as Dean of the Tutoring Program. Left to right: 1st row- Arslanian, J.

The Key, the LTI Student Handbook, is symbolic of the opening of the gateway linking college and high school. It was organized under the Student Council and in conjunction with the Tech Orientation Committee for the purpose of making the transition from high school to college less difficult. The Key was first published in 1955, and contains all pertinent facts of the college and surroundings. The hand- book contains a history of the college and the city of Lowell, it also acts as a handy reference to the rules, regulations and activities among other information which will aid the freshman. The editor is elected by the Student Council and is free to select his own staff. The Key itself is published by funds raised through advertisements. This year ' s officers were Larry Kopelowitz and Gerald Harlam as Co-Editors, Al Gilet as Business Manager, and Fran Delaney as Lay- out Editor. The publishing of the Key is an important step forward in the advance- ment of Lowell Tech. It is a means for the freshman to become acquainted with the college quickly and is a great aid in carrying out the orientation program. Left to right: Delaney, F.; Harlam, G.; Kopelowitz, L. In 1927, Tau Epsilon Sigma, the scho- lastic honor society at Lowell Technologi- cal Institute, was founded under the direc- tion of Professor Emeritus Gilbert R. Merrill. From its inception this honor society has served as an incentive for all undergraduate students to strive for the honor of membership and as a reward for determined and faithful application to scholastic achievement. Membership in Tau Epsilon Sigma is earned by a student who has been on the Dean ' s list for six consecutive semesters or who has maintained an over-all average of 3.00 during his four years of study. The gold key, symbolic of membership in this distinguished organization, is proud- ly worn by the members who have entered its ' eminent ranks through their continued honor standing. Today there are nearly four hundred members of this exclusive organization. Under the capable supervision of Pro- fessor John J. McDonald, faculty adviser, the society is presently endeavoring to ex- pand its functional activities and to pro- mote an even greater interest in the honor attached to achieving membership in Tau Epsilon S igma.

Active membership in the Society is open to any upperclassman enrolled in the Department of Leather Engineering. Fresh- men and Graduate students enrolled in leather may become associate members of the Society if tha t is their desire. The organization meets once a month with a guest speaker for a dinner which is followed by an informal seminar. The speaker is from the leather or an allied in- dustry. Although the Leather Engineering Society is a relatively young organization on the campus, it is listed as one of the most active Societies here today. The value of this organization is fully realized by all present and past members. Left to right: 1st row- Brother, T.; Del, J. C; Peckham, R.; Chouinard, A. E.

The Newman Club is a Catholic Club of Catholic Cul- ture and Catholic Fellowship which fosters the spiritual, intellectual, and social interests of the Catholic students of Lowell Technological Institute and Lowell State Teachers College. It is a member of the National New- man Club Federation, and of the Boston Province of National Newman Club Federation. This past year found the club with a membership of 300 students and faculty members. The club was fortunate this past year to have as its chaplain the Reverend John J. MacNamara of St. Rita ' s Parish, Lowell and also Prof- essors JohnMacLaughlin ofLowellTech and James Fitz- gerald of Lowell State Teachers College as faculty ad- visors. Keeping in mind the primary purposes for the existence of the club, that is spiritual and intellectual, the year began with an interesting October meeting highlighted by a talk by Reverend Joseph Grant. In November Reverend Norman O ' Connor gave an interesting and informative history of jazz. The following month a Communion Supper was held at which time Mr. John McDeavitt spoke on the aims of education. The month ended with a Christmas Party for the aged Women of Saint Patrick ' s Home here in Lowell. The New Year rang in on a social note with a gigantic dance held in Cumnock Hall. The February meeting was highlighted by Reverend Edward Carney who gave an in- teresting talk on Communism. The month of March proved to be a month full of events with a regular monthly meet- ing featuring a talk by Reverend Edward Flanagan of St. Patrick ' s Parish of Lowell, coupled with a cake sale to close out the month. The April meeting was well atten- ded as was the Communion Breakfast in May thereby cul- minating a highly successful year. Through these activities it is the hope of the Chaplain, the faculty advisors and the outgoing and incoming offi- cers, that the Newman Club will succeed in the primary service of the Organization. Newman Club Members Of the many activities and organiza- tions sponsored by Air Force ROTC at LTI, the Detachment Band is one of the most colorful and active. Since its origin at LTI, the ROTC band has represented both the college and the Air Force at many Tech and local functions in a traditionally fine manner. The Band is composed primarily of stu- dents in the Air Force program, however, membership in the band is not limited to this category and non-ROTC students are encouraged to participate in the Band ' s activities. Instruments, music, uniforms and other material are all supplied by the ROTC in conjunction with the State of Massachusetts. The Band rehearses nor- mally during drill periods and occasionally in the evening in preparation for special concerts. The Band is under the direction of Mr. Basil Larkin of Chelmsford, Mass. Mr. Larkin is a noted musician and a capable conductor. Faculty advisor and tactical officer for the Band Squadron is 1st Lt. John J. Beall of the ROTC staff. Activities for the Band include playing for the review and retreat ceremonies at drills and also many special concerts. Each year the LTI Band performs at the Lowell Sun Golden Gloves Tournament. This year the Band also gave concerts at the ROTC Family Night and the Awards Ceremonies. In addition to being a musical organi- zation, the Band also competes with the other squadrons in the Cadet Corps as a Military Unit. ■J r ' ■♦■ ' ■■ ■ 4 Lewis Goldberg President President Louis Goldberg Vice President Howard Goldberg Treasurer Toby Kauffman Secretary Jacob T. Litt Four years ago, a body of Jewish stu- dents attending Lowell Textile Institute applied for membership in the national Hillel organization and founded the pre- sent B ' nai B ' rith Hillel Counselorship at Lowell Technological Institute. Hillel strives to attain a two-fold goal: to make Jewish college students heirs as well as creators - heirs to their historic heritage as well as potential creators of new values; sharers of time-validated ex- perience as well as molders of new pat- terns of self expression; recipients of know- ledge as well as formulators of fresh in- sights. In its few years of existence, the Hillel at Lowell has ventured to reach this two-fold goal within its cultural, re- ligious, and social programs. This year, in keeping with the aims of Hillel, discussion groups were held on weekday evenings. Topics brought up by the students at these meetings ranged from Jewish history and customs to marital problems. Although Hillel is mainly a Jewish or- ganization, students of other religious be- liefs, interested in learning other aspects of Jewish life and history, attend dis- cussions and other Hillel sponsored affairs.

The Iona Fellowship, established in the fall of 1953 with the purpose of fulfilling the religious needs of the students of the Protestant faith, is now completing its third full year of activities at Lowell Tech. At the present time, the Fellowship ' s member- ship is comprised of students from Lowell Technological Institute, Lowell State Tea- chers College, and the Lowell General Hos- pital School of Nursing. Although pri- marily a Protestant organization, students from other different faiths may join in membership. An extensive program, designed to serve the spiritual and social needs of the members, was initiated this year with a Recognition Service sponsored by the Greater Lowell Council of Churches. Following this service, the regular bi- monthly meetings were again resumed at the Pawtucket Congregational Church. It has been the Fellowship ' s privilege this past year to have as guest speakers for these meetings, pastors from the Greater Lowell area. As part of the program, the Fellowship attended the University of Life series, which is annually sponsored by the Greater Lowell Council of Churches. Discussions pertinent to the evenings inspirational mes- sages were held afterwards. James Weatherbee President To complete the years activities, the Fellowship sponsored a paper drive which was extremely successful, the first annual Communion Breakfast was held at the Cal- vary Baptist Church, and the Fellowship sponsored its first spring dance, the High- land Fling. This year ' s officers are: James Weather- bee, President; Georgia Dadoly, Vice-Pre- sident; Stephen Bilsbury, Secretary; and Carol Dunn, Treasurer. The advisers again this year were Professor Dow and Doctor Williams of the faculty, and Chaplains Rev. Teikmanis of the Highland Congregational Church and Rev. Scalise of the Calvary Baptist Church.

It re- placed the Engineering Society which had been the engineer ' s organization prior to that time. Membership is open to all soph- omores, juniors, and seniors who are en- rolled in courses VI-E, and VI-G, and to graduate students in the engineering de- partment. Membership in the student branch means an automatic subscription to Mechanical Engineering magazine, and to full student membership benefits granted by the parent organization. This year ' s activities were started with a business meeting at Marty ' s Penthouse with Mr. Emile Scholz of the General El- ectric Company as our guest speaker. The annual A.S.M.E.

Raymond Sharkey President The Lowell Tech Flying Club is a non- profit student activity, which was founded at L.T.I, in 1952. Its main purpose is to teach its members to Fly Safely with a minimum of cost. Membership to this club is open to any student of L.T.I. Each mem- ber buys an equal share of stock which gives him equal rights and privileges to the aircraft. Any R.O.T.C. student who com- pletes his solo flight is awarded a set of silver wings, and any R.O.T.C. student who receives his private pilot ' s license will be awarded wings with a silver star. The club is run by a group of officers who are elected by the members. These are a President, Vice-President, a Treasurer, and a Secre- tary. The club is guided by two faculty ad- visors who are also elected by the mem- bers, these are first, a flying Air Force Officer who supervises the flying and ad- Raymond Sharkey President Fred Mehan vice President Phillip Swanson Treasurer Robert Crowe Secretary ministration, and a faculty member who is qualified to advise in the keeping of rec- ords and books. When the club was first started, each member paid an equal share of the cost of the airplane. This first airplane was badly damaged during a storm when a branch of a tree was put through the wing. The club then bought another airplane which was also damaged when a hail storm punctured the wings. Plans are now being made to buy an all-metal airplane, which will elim- inate the possibilities of any damage by the weather. The finances of the club are obtained first, by stock which is issued to the members, second, by monthly dues and by donations and fourth, by an annual flying time used by the members; third, dance, the first of which was held this year. When a member learns to fly, he may, upon approval of his supervisor, take the plane at any time for any trip he may want to make. With the progress made, the club may soon be one of the largest and most active organizations within the school. Its primary goal is to have three airplanes, one of which will be a four-place aircraft fully equipped for instrument flying. Left to right: 1st row- Mehan, F. L. Vice-Pres.; Crowe, R. E.

The Chinese Students Circle of Lowell Technological Institute is one of the- oldest organizations on campus. The aims of the club are the foster friendship among its members, and to create an interest in the extra-curricular activities of the Circle among the other members of the student body. Panel discussions are frequently held at which both technical and social subjects are discussed. Also, the members often get together with Chinese students from other colleges. All of the students are engaged in the study of American techniques in industrial manufacturing, management, and indus- trial processing, so that they may be of help in the advancement of the textile in- dustry in Free China. Above all, the members express their sincere appreciation to Professor James G. Dow, the Faculty Adviser of the Circle, for his whole-hearted guidance. Walter Yung President President.

The Society is both an honorary and social organization for members of the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps. Membership in the society is a privilege ex- tended to selected cadets enrolled in the advanced AFROTC program. The society was organized in 1947 at the University of Cincinnati and was named after the late General Hap Arn- old. Other Institutes, having ROTC pro- grams, quickly followed, and the society has 100 squadrons at the present time. Each squadron is named in honor of an out- standing Air Force Officer; LTI ' s squadron being named after General James F. Phil- lips. The Arnold Air Society is affiliated with the Air Force Association; this affilia- tion helps the society to further its mission and gain recognition within the Air Force. One of the functions of the society is the annual Military week end, which was held this year during the first week of December at Cumnock Hall. Among the highlights of the week end was the choos ing of an Honorary Queen and the announ cement of the cadet officers. Each year the society sends represen- tatives to the National Convention which will be held this year in Denver, Colorado. This conclave is the supreme governing body of the society. During this conclave the society resolves its problems and has the opportunity to become acquainted with the outstanding lea ders of the Air Force. The society also sends representatives to the various Area Conclaves which are held at such places as U.N.H., U. Conn., and U. Penn. These Area Conclaves are held in order to prepare the various squadrons for the National Convention. Left to right: 1st row- Aldrich, R.; Gallagher, G.; Convery, T.

The main objective of WLTI is to satisfy the student ' s musical desires. Broad- casting on a carrier current of 655 K.C. five days a week, from 7:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M., WLTI plays continuous music starting with jazz in the early evening and ending with soft music early in the morning. WLTI boasts of a large assortment of various types of records, varying from jazz to symphonies, opera to rock and roll, and popular to Broadway show tunes. Every week, albums of records are delivered to the studio from the top music recording companys. Another purpose of WLTI is to give the students a chance to run such an organi- zation on their own. There are many as- pects of radio organization in which a stu- dent can apply himself. He may join the promotion department, advertising depart- ment, business department, any of which could be of value in future life. Also, he may join the engineering staff. There he will get experience in electronics and the principles of radio. If he joins the announc- ing staff, he will get experience in think- ing quickly and expressing himself clearly. Our staff of announcers and engineers is well experienced and will provide you with the tops in musical listening all through the night, with what we hope is your favorite music. Any musical requests will be played where, when, and by the en- tertainer you wish to hear. When you are in the dormitories at night, you are sure to hear this statement every half hour, This is WLTI in Lowell, Massachusetts, the time is now 7:00 P.M., this is the musical voice of Lowell Tech- nological Institute, broadcasting from our studio in the basement of Eames Hall, wel- come to our listening audience. What ' s My Line ? Genious At Work 105 Stealing Records Frederick Obear President OFFICERS President Frederick Obear Vice— President Philip Lamprey Secretary Frances Delaney Treasurer Theresa Polak THE LOWELL TECH PLAYERS continues to be the most popular and best supported organization on campus. It is composed of regular day students, including those doing graduate work, whose desire it is to participate in the annual presentation of an out- standing play. The members of the TECH PLAYERS not only serve in the roles of actress and actor, but also perform the duties of stage hands, prop hands, ticket sellers, make— up artists, advertising and pub- licity directors, and prompters. The 1955 Production of A Slight Case of Murder was the first one to be presented in Cumnock Hall. Under the direction of Mrs. Virginia Cyr, the unconsciousness of Marty Glick, the innocence of Carol Dunn, the advice of Fred Klimpl, and the in- difference of Prank Hogan, all added up to give the near— capacity audience a better understanding of the sport of horse racing. When Christmas Season drew near again, the Tech Players continued their annual policy by being host to a group of children from local orphanages in the vicinity of the camp.s at a successful party. The orphans, in addition to consuming large quantities of ice cream, cake, candy, and tonic, were given pres- ents directly from Santa Claus! Once again the Tech Players showed the true spirit of Christmas and ev- eryone felt better for doing so. Left to right: 1st row-Jean Cryan, F. Delaney, P. Lamprey, F. Obear, T. Polak, F. Hogan. S.

As usual, the season was ended with a joyful banquet at which the outstanding members of the Tech Players were presented with keys. These keys have grown to be a highly cherished token of achieve- ment at the institute. Awarded Players ' keys for the ' 55 season were Don Legow, Fran Delaney, Stewart Krouss, and Carol Dunn. This year the Tech Players celebrated their fiftieth anniversary by presenting the popular produc- tion of Mister Roberts to a capacity audience at Cumnock Hall. Unlike other years, the Players were honored with the presence of two well— known Hollywood movie stars, Bette Davis and her husband, Gary Mer- rill. Miss Davis, who has received many awards — including the first Academy Award, was presented a Roger ' s silver bowl prior to the Mister Roberts production, by PredObear on behalf of the Tech Play- ers. Mr. Merrill was the pleased recipient of a Play- ers ' key. After the performance a buffet lunch was given at which only the Players were allowed to meet Miss Davis and Mr. Merrill. Miss Davis congratulated the cast for the excellent performance. Every moment of the play itself was filled with emotion which bound the audience and the actors together. Watching the performance, one could not help joining with the crew who detested the Captain, artfully portrayed by Jay Sherman, feeling sorry for Mister Roberts whose plights were skillfully drama- tized by Fred Obear, and laughing at the humorous antics of Phil Lamprey in his portrayal of Ensign Pulver. In addition to these clever actors, the advice and alcohol of the Doc, Gene Frulla, the flirtation of Lieutenant Marcella Czekanski, the conversations between Bob Kriegal and Roy Zuckerberg, the list— lessness of Chief Ray Dunn, and the Captain ' s palm tree added up to result in one of the most successful productions of the Tech Players. This year the orphans of the near— by homes were entertained at a Christmas party given by the Tech Players. The children received plenty of pres- ents, candy, and ice cream. The appearance of Santa Claus made the party a grand success. To end the ' 56 season, a pleasant banquet was given at the Smith House in Boston. At this time Players ' keys were awarded to Fred Obear, Phil Lamprey, Theresa Polak, Frank Hogan, and Dr. How- ard K.Moore, faculty advisor. Following the banquet the Players enjoyed an enjoyable evening by attend- ing Cinerama Holiday . The directrix was Mrs. Virginia Cyr. Left to right: 1st row- Libbey.

The Circle is a miniature United Nations. The association of members with one another at meetings and the mutual understanding possible among students at school are beneficial both to the various Circle members and to their American asso- ciates. President.... Roman Golbin Vice President H. Kenneth Cohen Treasurer Samuel Epstein Secretary Irene Chiladakis Exchange of ideas and views through talks and discussions is encouraged. A num- ber of students have been asked by local organizations to speak about their respec- tive countries and customs. Social activi- ties such as dances have shown that foreign students are fun-minded and can get into the spirit of things as well as other stu- dents. During the past year, the members of the circle have visited many textile mills. They have also enthusiastically participated in the various extra-curricular activities of the Institute. Among the members that the club now boasts, there are 24 different countries re- presented. Included are: India, China, Egypt, and Israel. The cosmopolitan character of the stu- dent body at Technological offers a unique opportunity for the American public to know something of the customs, mannerg and views of 24 countries. The circle is fortunate in having a capable and understanding Faculty Advisor in the person of Professor James G. Dow, who is leading the Circle to greater pro- gress, who hopes that the members will go back to their countries with a genuine appreciation and understanding of the American way of life and the sincere friendliness between nations.

Walsh, Jr Treasurer The Varsity Club is the student organiz- ation composed of Lowell Tech ' s varsity athletes. It was organized in 1950 and in the last six . years the organization has aided in the betterment of student and inter-collegiate athletics at the Institute. The objectives of the Varsity Club are to stimulate closer bonds between the let- termen of the school by means of one common organization, and to increase student interest in athletic activities at Tech. This spring an outstanding step was made to create a keener interest in athle- tics. Under the sponsorship of the Varsity Club, a Sports Convocation was held in Cumnock Hall. The purpose of the Con- vocation was to honor the athletes repre- senting the Institute before the entire In- stitute student body. It is hoped that the Convocation was the stimulus that the Tech student body badly needed. In the next few years, athletics at Lowell should rise to an unprecedented height. It is the Varsity Club ' s earnest desire to act as the pathway to that higher standard of athletics.

With the only loss from last year ' s squad being Captain Jim Lolos, an other- wise all veteran ball club was on hand as varsity try-outs got under way in early November. Among the returning letter- men from last year ' s team who were pre- sent were: Captain Ed Koza, Marty Birn- baum, Dave Hannon, Dick Silver, Ernie Glantz, Bernie Heumann and Lenny Edel- son. For the first time in many years there appeared on the Lowell basketball court the presence of a genuine big man in the person of Carl Brune, a 6 ' 7 freshman. As the season progressed it was seen that the fate of the Tech team was very much dependent upon the performance display- ed by this boy. The 1955-56 N. C. A. A. season officially opened in the Tech gym on the evening of Dec. 8. An overflow crowd of 400 was on hand to witness the Terriers initial home game triumph of the season as they downed Nasson College 78-73. Last year ' s high scorer, sophomore Bernie Heumann, continued where he left off as he led both teams in scoring with 19 points. Glantz, hitting consistently from the outside wound up with 14 points for his evening ' s efforts. Two nights later, the Tech hoopsters traveled up to Keene, N. H., where they Edward Koza Captain were defeated in a closely, well played contest by a score of 89-82. Koza, who got hot in the second half was high man for Lowell with 17 points. Lowell could do no better than split in their next two games. On December 13, they lost to Merrimack College in the final moments of play by a score of 62-60. Brune was high man for Lowell with 19 points. Two nights, later, the Weavers gained their vengeance as they trounced New England College 92-51. Dave Hannon was high man in the game with 24 points. A Koza up- Opponent down On January 5, in the Tech gym, one of the biggest upsets in the annals of sports history was made here at the Institute was achieved as the Terriers defeated a highly favored M. I. T. five by a score of 91-85. Amidst the thunderous cheers of the lo- cal partisans, the Moreymen never for one moment gave up in the stupendous drive to victory. Both Brune and Heumann a- gain excelled as they scored 29 and 25 points respectively. Two nights later, against Worcester Polytech, the Weavers were simply unable to hit from the floor with any sort of accuracy. As a result, they came out on the short end of a 77-60 score. Brune with 16 points and Birnbaum with 14 points led Lowell in scoring. The next game, against Assumption was anticipated to be a tough shruggle in as much as the visitors came roaring into town with an undefeated ball club which had won seven straight games. Although Lowell ' s Bernie Heuman led both teams in scoring with 23 points, the visitors came out on top by an 82-64 score. The Terriers got back on the winning road again as they met and defeated New Bedford Textile by a score of 83-75 before an inspired home crowd on the evening of January 14. In this game the formidable one-two punch of Bernie Heumann and Carl Brune was once again successful as they ripped the cords with 29 and 20 points respectivey. At this point in the season the Tech five undoubtedly reached their peak in ef- fectiveness as they compiled a winning streak of four consecutive games. This feat was highlighted by their 100-55 drub- bing of Curry College on the evening of January 18 in the Tech gym. The hundred point output by the cagers on that night set an all time scoring record for all bas- ketball teams in Lowell Tech history. Marty Birnbaum was the game ' s high scorer with 18 points. Lowell ' s next game against Merrimack was highlighted by Carl Brune ' s 30 points as the Terriers topped the visitors by a score of 86-70. Heumann also scored 24 points in the game. On the heels of the Merrimack victory came the mid-term exam period and a tem- porary lay-off from the basketball court. Upon their return to action, the Weavers promptly downed Babson College 96-65, while losing to Philadelphia Textile 91-79 and to Suffolk U. 96-93. At this point in the season the Terriers had compiled a very respectable 7-6 record and were on the last leg of their journey toward attaining a winning record for the season. However, disaster suddenly befell the squad as one athlete after another fell victim to untimely injury, just prior to the crucial New York trip. As a result, the Terriers lost three straight to New Britain State Teachers, Pratt Institute, and Brook- lyn College. Lowell ' s last game of the season was against Clark University on March 5. Clark, enjoying a definite height advantage had complete control of the boards as they emerged victorious by a score of 73-66. Heu- mann was high man for Lowell with 17 points, followed by Brune with 13 points and Silver and Hannon with 12 points each. Lowell thus finished the season with a record of 7-10. Carl Brune led the team in rebounds with 15.6 a game and in scoring with 18.5 points a game. Heumann was run- ner-up in scoring with 15.8 points a game.

To begin with, the team was hamp- ered throughout the early spring by un- seasonably poor weather. This necessitated the complete tryout and training period to take place in the gymnasium. Because of this it was quite difficult for the pitchers and players to approach their top physical condition which is so essential. It was also quite apparent that the loss of key varsity men from last year would hurt the team. In spite of this some promising new fresh- men have come along in pitcher, Billy Schnell, infielder, Joe Dixon, and Outfield- ers, Brian Leary and Hank Norsman. It is hoped that the experience gained by the new players, coupled with the rapid de- velopment of a young team can be turned into winning baseball here at the Institute. Coach Yarnall ' s Terriers made their debut April 18, on the newly reconditioned field. Actually this encounter with Curry College proved to be the highlight game of the year in that good pitching, hitting, and fielding were evident throughout. Sophomore Ernie Glantz struck out sixteen men in pitching a three hit route going masterpiece. Fred- dy Crowe sparkplugged the offense with Our Baseball Team three hits, one of them the vital blow that batted in the tying and winning runs in the eighth inning. Tech traveled to Cambridge for their next encounter meeting M.I.T. Crowe, Finnegan, and Glantz pitched for the Terriers and shared the fate of a 6-4 set- back. The loss was attributed to poor field- ing in that numerous errors were committed The following home game with Clark ended in a 7-7 deadlock, taking three and one-half hours before the postponement. Eighteen players were used by LTI with Leary, Cana- van, and Keohane, getting two hits apiece. Vermont then came to Lowell with the visit- ors displaying superb pitching and fine hitting in setting down the home side. The following game was played at New Bedford. Tech rose to the occasion with an 8-5 victory with Finnegan getting credit for the win. Lowell then met its toughest opponent of the year in A.I.C. A.I.C. meets many of the leading Eastern universities and proved to possess a well balanced team in shutting out the Terriers. The A.I.C. encounter was the first of a four game losing streak as Lowell dropped 11-5, and 10-4 decisions to the University of New Hampshire and Wor- cester respectively. Both games were mar- red with the inability of the Terriers to combine a good batting offense with solid fielding and pitching. The following game at Waltham produced similar results as Brandeis set down the home side 8-2. With the experience and determination gathered through a rather hard season, it is expected that the future record of the L.T.I, baseball team will improve. First baseman, Jim Keohane will be missed due to graduation, but the returning letter men as well as the new prospects can well prove to be the answer in producing a winning team. j f gr. p B g g ;g ; i |gf aL i, jfe- :rf - , j ' K 19d6 Baseball Results Lowell Tech Won 4 Lost 8 Tied 1 3 Curry 2 4 M.I.T. 6 7 C lark 7 1 Vermont 13 8 New Bedford 5 A.I.C. 16 5 New Hampshire 11 4 W.P.I. 10 2 Brandeis 8 Middlebury 6 Norwich 2 6 New England 1 7 Suffolk 3 As opening day loomed near, the out- look for this year ' s soccer team was bright having eleven returning lettermen, includ- ing high scorer and captain Carlos Ceppas, goalie Jim Lowell, stalwart defensive men Leo Aguilar, Sam Epstein, and line men Abe Okorodudu, George Obermann, Ricar- do Villa, Al Yujuino, and Mike Teubel. The first game played was with Wor- cester Tech, which always provides tough opposition. Trailing most of the game the Terrier booters showed great spirit coming from a two-goal deficit to tie the game at three all. Goals in this game were by George Hasburn with two, and George Obermann. Determined to get on the winning side, the Techmen met Clark of Worcester on home ground. Carlos Ceppas scored his first two goals of the year. Villa booted home one goal, completing Lowell ' s scoring. The final score was 3-1. In the next game, Lowell traveled down to New Bedford. Playing against an inspired New Bedford team, Lowell lost 1-0. Although the Terriers had many scoring chances they were unable to boot home the tying goal. The fourth game of the year was against highly touted Tufts eleven. Lowell rebounding into form expected of them earlier in the year, shut-out Tufts at the Tech field, 3-0. Ceppas opened the scoring for the Terriers in the first period. Clincher goals were scored by Villa in the second stanza and by Epstein in the third. Jim Lowell in the goal played a major role in the shutout. Aguilar played one of the most outstanding defensive games ever seen on the home field. Our Soccer Team ' 119 . High in spirits but laden with injuries, Lowell journeyed to Boston to play Boston University. They were outclassed by a strong B. U. team, the final score being 4-0. The next game was played against Brandeis University. Lowell showing its great potential as top team in the New England Conference, whipped Brandeis by a score of 4-0. Ceppas, again, demonstrated his great scoring ability by leading the Terriers with three goals; George Ober- mann added the final tally to clinch the victory for Lowell. Mention should be made of the tremendous spirit and hustle showed by Villa and Obermann. The final soccer game played by our Tech Booters found them up against a strong Harvard team. The game started at a rapid pace finding Harvard scoring in the first two minutes of play. Before the Moreymen knew what happened, the Har- vard team scored again, making it 2-0. In the entire first quarter the Lowell Booters only managed to get off two shots at their rival ' s goal. Lowell ' s Ceppas carried the ball all the way through the Harvard de- fense, but his shot was blocked. Jim Lowell made a fine save of a penalty shot awarded to Harvard for illegal use of hands by the home team. Harvard scored its third goal on a long shot which found its mark when Lowell came out of the net to retrieve a loose ball, an alert Harvard player seeing an opening, kicked the ball through for a fourth tally. The final goal was scored by Harvard making the final score 5-0 in favor of the visitors. 120 The game found Aguilar, Lowell, and Ceppas playing fine defensive ball. Ober- mann, Okorodudu, and Villa also played an outstanding game for the Techmen. Now that the season is over, we can look back at the games Lowell has played and in doing so can say that Lowell did not play the type of soccer of which they were capable. The loss of Piet Bodenhurst and Serge Lince was felt in the defensive play of the Techmen, who last year had one of the finest defenses in the New England area. The inability of this year ' s backs to keep the ball out of Lowell territory hurt the team in a few games, in addition to the inability of the front line to play to- gether. This year ' s team had been rated quite highly in pre-season c ompetition but did not live up to expectations, although such veterans as Leo Aguilar, George Ober- mann, Carlos Ceppas and Richard Villa played outstanding soccer.

Of the 10 men starting for Tech only 5 have ever played the game before. Coach Morey is to be commended for the terrific job he has done with these boys. Our first game with Nichols Jr. College was a well played tight ballgame. How- ever, in the end the lack of experience proved to be the deciding factor. The final score was 5-2. For more than one half the team this was the first time they ever had seen a regulation size lacrosse field. The field was very muddy, difficulty in picking up the ball, and slowing down the game im- mensely. Jim Lowell played a beautiful game at the goal, making many fine saves. On the offense it was Lew Miller all the way scoring both tech goals. Left to Right, Sitting: Toussieh, Krouss, Ganz, Doull, Austin, Sidlinker, Nichols, Popper.

We were no match for their superior ball handling and experience, and came out on the short end of a 13-1 score. Our one tally was by Lew Miller. New England ' s Bob Ebinger scored 5 goals. 12 3 Last Saturday we came up against a strong Worcester team. The tilt was a very rough and close affair, all the way. LTI lost by the tight score of 5-3, on the offense it was again Miller with Tech ' s 3 goals. Phil Schleter just missed two goals by a hairs length. To be commended are this years captain, Bernie Shapiro, Bob Kriegel, Marty Birnbaum, Koza, Joe Friedrichs and Rino Pelissier, who along with Miller and Lowell played practically the whole game, in the muggy 80 degrees heat. Of this group, Birnbaum, Koza, and Friedrichs are first year men. Our second game of the season against Tufts freshmen started off with a bang as Marty Birnbaum scored a goal after 2 minutes of play. That was all the scoring done in that quarter. In the second quarter, scored the second goal. However, Tufts Lew Miller on a fine pass by Bob Kriegal came back with two quick goals and the score at the half was 2-2. In the 3rd quar- ter a fight broke out after a foul was called on Kriegel. After order was again restored the game was resumed with both teams battling right until the very end. Tufts came out on top of a 5-4 score. The next Saturday was an away game with UNH frosh. The big red just didn ' t seem to have any spark and lost a sloppily played game 5-1. John Berry, of UNH was by far the standout of the game as he scored 3 of UNH ' s goals. The lacrossemen ' s last game was with Brown University at Providence. The game started off as a see-saw battle but, Brown ' s superior manpower worked as a deciding factor in the 16-6 final score. For Tech, Miller had 3 goals; Shapiro 2; and Brancho 1. At the end of the game Lewis Miller was voted next year ' s captain.

T. I. resulted in several close and interesting matches. The team began to show promise at the very beginning of the season when it lost a closely, well played match to a highly rated Tufts team by a score of 5-4. Lowell ' s next vic tory was its most deci- sive one of the season as our golfers con- vinvingly trounced Clark Univ. by a score of 9-0. In their next game, the golf team lost another close match to Boston College by a 5-4 score. It was during this match that the fine golfmanship of freshman Gerald Lafferty was clearly seen. Great things are expected from this boy in the seasons to come. The team next came up against the very powerful Dartmouth and Holy Cross squads. The Techmen were unable to win any of their individual matches, athough Gerald Lafferty, Bill King, Frank Major and Larry Stowell all made a very fine showing. Frank Major Captain ' Our Golf Team ' The team placed 12th in a field of twenty-five in the New England collegiate standings. In addition, the Techmen al- most had its second qualifier in the history of the school in the person of Bill King. However, he lost his opportunity by tak- ing a big eleven in the last hole. King still finished high in the seasons standings. The golf team is looking forward to a successful 1957 campaign in as much as the entire squad will be back again next season.

' game not played to date ' ' ' ' .- This year Tech ' s Tennis Team, greatly hindered by the return of only two letter- men, found itself off to a poor start. For- tunately there was a definite interest shown by some freshmen and the turnout for the team was good. However, practice session was cut a little short due to some late snow. The first match was with Clark Univer- sity, who, as usual, brought down an out- standing squad. The match score was 7-2 and although Clark was the winner the actual game score and set scores were a lot closer than the match indicated. The second match was against a powerful and well-balanced team from U.N.H. who beat Tech 9-0. New Bedford was added to the schedule this year, and brought down an undefeated team which proceeded to win 6-3. The next match was against a tough Keene team. The boys played well and took two well-earned points while losing the match 7-2. Merri- mack, our fifth opponent, who turned up with a little better team than usual, beat us by a score of 5-4. Roy Zuckerberg Captain ' Our Tennis Team The last match of the year was with Worcester who brought down a strong squad to beat the Tech team 9-0. Thus the Weavers wound up the season with a disap- pointing 0-6 record. The lineup of the team, found Roy Zuck- erberg playing the number 1 spot, fresh- man Roger Boyoly in the number two posi- tion and Angelo Dias, Bob Banker, Larry Bass, Jerry Smith and Bob Chase switching around the 3, 4, 5, and 6 spots. Dias, Chase, and Boyoly, the starting freshmen on the team all showed a great deal of promise and will undoubtedly improve their play in the remaining three years. In addition, Banker will also return for one more year along with sophomores Zuckerberg and Smith, the latter two having two more years of eligibility. The team is quite confident that in the next two or three seasons they will be able to boast a winning record. RECORD LTI Clark 2 New Hampshire New Bedford 3 Keene 2 Merrimack 4 Worcester Poly Tech Opp. 7 9 6 7 5 Fraternities at LTI certainly repre- sent some of the most active organizations on the campus. Although each individual fraternity is completely separate and dis- tinct, there are certain common interests and functions that are shared by all four fraternities. The Inter-fraternity Council is an organization designed to co-ordinate these interests, and to aid in the deter- mination of common policy on matters of mutual importance. The group, composed of four representatives from each of the fraternities, also acts as a clearing house for the scheduling of major activities of the chapters. Through the IFC, a fraternity social calender is set up each year to assure that fraternity functions do not conflict with the activities of other societies in the school. The IFC this past year has had per- haps its most successful year here at Tech. Its officers were John DeProfio (DK), chairman, George Landry (Phi Psi), vice chairman, Edward Novick (Pilam), Secre- tary, and Bill Pedrick (O Pi), treasurer. The year ' s activities were highlighted by two very successful affairs. On October 28 and 29, the annual IFC Weekend was held with the skit and song competition on Fri- day and the informal dance on Saturday, where the 1954-55 athletic, scholarship, and skit night winners received their respec- tive trophies. The softball and scholastic trophies were retired by Pilam, who also earned the bowling championship. Phi Psi took the basketball crown as well as the award for the best skit, while O Pi took the songfest. On February 13, 1956, a new inovation to Lowell Tech was unveiled. It was the first annual pledge chapel where bids to prospective fraternity men were distri- buted. A talk by Dean Ivers on the impor- tance of fraternity life on campus high- lighted the evening. After rushing, pledging, hell and help week, and initiations, the fraternities cul- minated their activities with the annual Fraternity Formals on May 5. Left to right: 1st row- Keohane, J.

Building on the foundation of new activities begun in the 1955 College year Phi Sigma Rho in ' 56 enjoyed the busiest and most growing year in the memory of its members. Under the tireless guidance of President Carol Dunn, the sisters es- tablished a crest, a motto, a new constitution and were able to clarify and simplify the statement of purpose and initiation pledge. Carol called the first meeting early in Septem- ber and sorority social plans were being made before classes resumed. As we look back now it seems an eternity since that afternoon in orienta- tion week when the coeds introduced themselves to the freshmen girls in the traditional gathering at the lounge. The new students became eager rushees and the sophomore prepared a busy happy round of parties.

While the autumnal colors lent a gay backdrop, Ann and Toby organized a weenie roast in Ann ' s back yard. At that rustic affair everyone ' s capacity for hot dogs, hamburgers and toasted marsh- mallows was tried. It was at the weenie roast that the rushees first heard the sorority songs, serious and comical, and became aware of the sorority as an organization interested in them and worthy of their interest. As the sun set onthe gathering the coeds proved how hard it is for them to act their age by playing jump rope and though aches and pains that resulted were remembered briefly the joys of the day will be long remembered and imitated many times . A formal tea was held early in October at Claire Vervaert ' s home. Fran D. and Paula acted as Claire ' s chief Assistants and the tea, a quiet, dignified affair, showed the more refined side of the coeds to the rushees. Much dignity is not to be expected of Tech coeds early in the school year, so Toby and Ann again took over socially, and with the rest of the sophomores worked like beavers to organize one of the year ' s happiest and most success- ful parties, a barn dance where the cider flowed and an excellent caller kept hearts light and feet moving. Phi Sigma Rho took charge of decorations for the I.F.C. week end. Though all the girls worked nobly on that Friday evening our skit contribution did not receive the acclaim we had been awarded the preceding year. Most of the audience appreciated portions of our offering, especially Paula ' s trips across stage between the scenes and the girls had a great deal of fun in spite of the critics . The last affair of the rushing season was an informal dance at Fran D. ' s house and though snow made it difficult to get to, there was a large enough group at the dance to provide a happy evening, chasing strings, blowing out candles, solving riddles and, in- cidentally dancing. Hell week followed the traditional pattern and though the pled - ges survived it is widely felt that they will never be the same again, especially since nine of the ten pledges became sisters as a result, on February 12th, 1956. These girls are not soon apt to forget the happy ceremony which accompanied their signing the Phi Sigma Rho scroll and we who are departing trustthat they will not merely continue the organization but will help it to continue to expand with the institute and the coed enrollment toward the magic day when Phi Sigma Rho has a house and is part of a great national technical-social sorority. Another happy innovation of this year was Mothers Night, Prof- essor Wells presented a fascinating travelogue and made friends of allthe Mothers. Maureen Cote had charge of the refreshments and the Mothers, sat back and had a good time. Saki and the Teahouse of the August Moon made the first evening of the sorority week end a success in spite of the fact that it was Friday the 13th of April and the coeds, themselves, made Saturday the 14th a success at their annual dinner dance held this year in the luxurious surroundings at the Meadows in Framingham. Gigi Long is in charge of planning a Patriots Day outing for the sorority and the children from a local orphan home. Tenta- tively the day will include a movie and an ice cream treat with the girls acting as hostesses and each girl vatching two charges. Also on the agenda is a repeat of the hilarious pajaira party on the eve of upstream day. Claire Vervaert supplied the surround- ings for the happy affair last year and Qsorgia Dadoly has vol- unteered the use of a summer camp on Corbett ' s Pond for the coming event. The sisters will spend the first week end in June at Ocean Park, Maine, due to the benefolence of Professor Wells. To our happy delight he has offered to revive one of the early sorority affairs, a week end at Ms summer home, an occasion oft remin- isced by our older sisters and certain to warrant a pleasant recol- lection from us. June will bring our annual meeting and installation; then, comes graduation and the parting of the ways for a few of us. Phi Sigma Rho has been the one social undertaking of the coeds which has been fostered exclusively to benefit the coeds and as such has been a vital oasis for the minority in this desert of slide rules, test tubes, protractors and men. 132 OFFICERS Consul De Profio Pro Consul Sharkey Custodian Lynch Annotator Bergeron Sgt.

First Row: Lynch, Sharkey, DeProfio, Sherman Second Row: Bergeron, Metcalf During the past year, Delta Kappa Phi has progressed in rapid strides. The Dekes have worked, and are still working, to obtain sufficient funds to buy a new house. There has been a definite movement towards obtaining the new house, but due to legal red tape the movement has been slowed to a walk. This red tape, however, can actually be considered a God-send, since it will allow the fraternity ' s funds to increase, through the laudible efforts of the Delta Kappa Phi, Beta Alumni, who have once again come to the aid of the chapter. The National Convention was held here at Beta last year, and Beta ' s fiftieth anniversary was certainly done up in fine style. The Dekes are looking forward to this year ' s convention which is in Georgia, on April 27, 28, 29. The trip to Georgia will be a long one, but it will definitely give the boys a chance to see how much more (or less, whatever the case may be) we have here at Lowell Tech. A hearty welcome to two Dekes who came back-Bros. Steve Bodor, and Bob Morrison-both of whom have been appoin- ted to faculty positions. Other fraternities have their relics, but the Dekes specialize in antiques, in the form of Bros. Joe Roux, Jay Sherman, Lou Goldberg, and Charles Chick Chicklis. After quite a successful, but alto- gether too short rushing season, the Dekes elected twenty six men to receive bids. Of these 26 bids, 18 were returned signed when marks were published, the number dropped to 15. After the first three weeks of pledging had ended, the number was de- creased by two. This small pledge class was one of the hardest working pledge classes on campus. Left to right: 1st row- Scattergood, A.; Everett, C; Fox, R. M.; Lynch, J. E Sharkey, R. P.; Dr. Profio, J.

The success of these parties may be well realized if one will just speak to the Consul (the fellow who tries not to yawn when saying good bye to the de- parting guests), the House Manager (the fellow who posts the work party notices), or the Storekeeper (the fellow who buys the Ginger Ale, Lime Rickey, and Orange Juice served at these parties). As for the slight disturbances that have occurred, the Dekes have had the dubious distinction of being visited by eleven of Lowell ' s finest. (At one time yet!!) This of course was a case of mistaken identity (as this writer can verify), for when the local gendarmes spout, Who ' s running this thing? , and after the necessary formalities, threats, and what have you, have run the gamut, the Dekes are always being confused with some rest home which is in the vicinity of The House . Anyone who is a judge of character or of groups of characters, will bear me out when I say, The Dekes Are the Gentlemen Of The Campus. On the athletic side, the Dekes tied for the championship in Softball with Pi Lambda Phi, and ran a sizzling second to Phi Psi for the Basketball trophy-Of course everyone has a proverbial skeleton in the closet-ours is our Bowling team. We just have all the bad luck when it comes to bowling. The All Fraternity Week-end is slated to be a great success-the Dekes will once again holdforth at the Laton Hotel in Nashua, N.H. Judging from the past Frater- nity Formals, this year ' s should be the best ever. The Dekes are planning to have a huge Open House when the L.T.I. Alumni have their annual reunion this coming May 18th. The brothers of Delta Kappa Phi would like to extend their heartiest congratula- tions to the following Dekes on their coming marriages: Charles Chiklis, Louis Goldberg, Vincent Kulickowski, Joe Levy, and Joe Roux. In closing, we, the Brothers of Delta Kappa Phi, would like to express our best regards to our friends at school and es- pecially send along our final good-byes to those members who are leaving us and hope that they all meet with health, happiness, and success in all their future undertakings. To those who will enter the Armed Forces-Godspeed! We hope to see you all at our Alumni party next year. What ' s in the box ? And The Band Plays On Lou and wife It ' s milk, Dean!!

Omicron Pi Fraternity, which is the oldest fraternity at Lowell Tech, was founded on November 3, 1902. It was formed by seven members of the Lowell Textile School with the purpose of pro- moting brotherhood among its members. O Pi is the only independent frater- nity at Lowell Tech. Backed by a strong alumni, O Pi has chosen to remain indepen- dent through the years, even though it has been approached by several national fra- ternities. In doing so, we remain free to govern ourselves, and are not burdened by national expenses. 1st row, left to right — Denio, Law, Pedrick, Peckham 2nd row — Gentle, Lamprey, Aldrich, Dardano The social activities of O Pi were cli- maxed by the annual fraternity Formal held at the Marlborough Hotel in Lowell last May. The new members were presen- ted with their pins and the newly-elected officers assumed their positions. Ray Hardy, Rod Madden, and Ellie Mann were pre- sented with vegetable corsages in honor of their approaching marriages. The fra- ternity ring was given to Ellie Mann by Ed Hayes. Following a gay formal evening, the orchestra journeyed to 31 Waverly Avenue where it continued to wail until it was rudely interrupted by the local gendarmes, sent by an unappreciative neighbor. The weekend was climaxed on Sunday with a beach party. Due to the usual inclement weather of New England, the house was converted into a beach for the affair. On the following Tuesday evening, the house was the scene of the annual Senior Stag. The party proceeded in a typical fra- ternity manner until again, we were honored by a visit from the local boys in blue . After assuring them that the party was over, we continued to make merry. Once again, we were visited, but this time by the higher echelon from the Market Street bastille. After being forced to close shop, the party was continued elsewhere. On the following morning, a weary group of Omicron headed for Canobie Lake to celebrate Upstream Day. Shortly thereafter, the brothers of O Pi were informed that they had incurred the wrath of our car-towing Dean; and we received the dubious honor of being placed on Social Probation for the rest of the school year. This meant that our social activities went underground . The Fall term got off to a roaring start with a Costume Party. A wide variety of attire was seen throughout the house. Prizes went to Bev Byam and Don Doull for appearing in the most original cos- tumes. The next social event on the O Pi calendar was the I.F.C. Weekend. Friday night, Southwick Hall was the scene of the skits and songfest. The O Pi Choral group, under the capable direction of Dick Peck- ham, was awarded the trophy for the most entertaining presentation. The boys came very close to winning the skit trophy also.

The Rushing Season at O Pi was started oft with a stag party late in October. An eager group of Freshmen were shown through the house, and refreshments were enjoyed by all. A large crew of members journeyed to the house for the traditional New Year ' s Eve Party. The house had hardly re- covered, when the annual Monte Carlo Party took place. This was the usual plush affair, and guests tried their luck at rou- lette, poker, dice, and many other games of chance. The time had finally come for Ellie Mann to depart, and assume the roll of a traveling salesman. Before the Relic left he presented the fraternity ring to Don Doull, our ever-eager House Manager. This climaxed the Rushing Season at O Pi. After nominations, two lengthy meetings were held to choose the pledges of 1956. The bids were given out at the Pledge Chapel in Cumnock Hall, and re- turned on February 13 The 22 new pledges proceeded to plan a party to honor the members of O Pi. However, such was not the case, since the boys hacked and era- barassed the members and their dates. Their joy was soon converted to sorrow by the revengeful members, upon the arri- val of Hell Week. The house provided many tasks for the eager and happy pledges. Gallons of paint and rolls of wallpaper were consumed by the busy crew. Hell Wee k was brought to a close by a delight- ful banquet at a nearby restaurant. There were many more date parties and Stags at O Pi during the year, but they are too numerous to mention. The fun and good times will be long remembered by those who participated in this phase of campus. life that helps to make ones edu- cation more enjoyable. At the time this article was written, plans were underway for the Formal Ini- tiation and buffet supper for the Honorary Members. The Omicrons were looking for- ward to Mister Roberts, and the Frater- nity Formal at the Shawsheen Manor, as well as the Senior Stag and Upstream Day. Maybe social pro will be reimposed. Wedding bells are ringing for some of the boys this summer. Bill Pedrick, Dick Peckham, Dick Aldrich, Hank Szczepanik, and possibly a few more Omicrons plan to walk that last mile to bliss. Some of the Seniors will enter the service, others will revolutionize industry, and a few plan to work for advanced degrees. Whatever be their goal, Omicron Pi wishes them the best of luck and success in the years ahead. Look At Me Now Mother Way Down South In The Land Of Cotton L.T.I.

Phi Psi Fraternity was founded by five students at the Philadelphia College of Textile Engineering on March 18, 1903, to promote good fellowship, social intercourse, and the mutual advancement of its mem- James Walsh President bers, and to study techniques in textile manufacturing. In 1905 Phi Psi Fraternity was incorporated under the laws of the state of Pennsylvania. In 1904 Gamma Chapter was chartered at the then Lowell Textile School. At the present time Phi Psi Fraternity is composed of nine active student chapters and twelve alumni chap- ters. Phi Psi is now the largest and most respected textile fraternity in the world, and its alumni hold some of the highest positions of respect in all branches of the textile industry. The fraternity is dedicated to the following ideals: first, to promote good fellowship among the men in schools having a textile curriculum, second, to en- courage a high standard in textile work, and third, to assist, by every honorable means, the advancement of its members.

In order to achieve these ideals, it is re- alized by Phi Psi that a diversified mem- bership is mandatory. For this reason, em- phasis is not placed on either the social or the scholastic position; but a happy medium in both aspects is preferred in order that each member makes a maximum contri- bution. The Merrimack Country Club was the scene of the annual Fraternity Formal on May 7. This affair was the high light of the social activity of the fraternity, and it was one of the best attended functions of the year. The humorous narrative delivered by Professor John Robertson was one of the outstanding events of the evening. Following the formal, an informal party was held at the house and the merry- making lasted until the early hours of the morning. Prior to the opening of the fall session, many of the brothers returned to repair and renovate the house for the en- suing year. This work, combined with the efforts of the pledges during their special Hell Week , put the house in fine con- dition, with the painting of the house and many other exterior and interior renova- tions being completed. On returning to school, it was learned that approximately fifteen members would be able to live in the house this year. This news promoted much enthusiasm by the returning members, for it meant financial aid to the house as well as a closer bond among the members. Gerry Gallagher, the social chairman for this year, announced that the traditio- nal Welcome Back Party would be held for the returning members and to honor the newly initiated members. Prior to the rushing season, the I.F.C. sponsored a day in which all the fraternity houses on campus would be opened to in- troduce the freshmen to the fraternal as- pects of their stay at Lowell Tech. Jim Keo- hane, the senior warden, directed the acti- vities at Phi Psi. During the rushing season we held three stag parties which were very well attended. In each instance, the walls of the house at 406 Pawtucket Street literally vibrated with songs and good cheer. One of the stags had to be rescheduled, how- ever, as the house was filled with smoke and soot from a fire of doubtful origin the previous night. In addition to the stag par- ties, Phi Psi also promoted two date parties under the rather self identifying names of Hayseed Party and Shipwreck Party . Both of these affairs stimulated a sociable atmosphere between the members and pro- spective pledges.

The I.F.C. Weekend provided an ex- cellent opportunity for the fraternities to get together and enjoy one of the major phases of college life. Many of the Phi Psi men participated in the skit and choral group activities, and by the relinquishing of their time and effort helped to make this such an eventful weekend. Phi Psi was awarded the trophy for the best skit, which was under the direction of Paul Moser and Dave Shay. The choral group, which was prepared by Jack White, was also enjoyed by all who attended. At the Military Ball Weekend in De- cember, Chet Petkiewicz was selected to lead the A.F.R.O.T.C. unit this year. This weekend was brought to a successful close by the fraternity parties on Saturday night, and Phi Psi contributed to this activity with a large gathering present at the house until early the next morning. The annual Christmas Party for the orphans from the Franco-American Or phanage was held on Thursday, December 15. Bill King, chairman of this activity, did a splendid job in providing the orphans with such a happy and memorable occasion. The third degree was administered to seventeen new members of Gamma Chap- ter on Saturday, January 21, at the Hotel Marlborough. These members were given a special Hell Week in September of the past year, and they were honored by the older members and alumni at this affair in January. Hell Week was held in March of this year; and through the efforts of the pledges under the stern supervision of the mem- bers, the house was completely renovated. In April of this year, the annual Boston Alumni Banquet was held at a Boston Hotel at this activity, the third degree was conferred on the new members of the three New England schools having Phi Psi Chap- ters. Not all of Phi Psi ' s success was social the year, for many of the major offices in most of the student organizations were held by Phi Psi men. Such groups as the Student Council, the Tech Players, the Nucleus, the Varsity Club, the Newman Club, and many others were well represented by Phi Psi men. In addition, Phi Psi members were active on the athletic teams, leaders of stu- dent publications, and members of nearly every student organization. The bowling and basketball teams copped the interfraternity titles, and the softball teams anticipates a successful season this year. The Spring Formal will be held in May, and indications reveal that it will be quite outstanding this year. We who leave L.T.I, this June will look back upon this year as one of the most happy ones that we have enjoyed here. Santa - Baby! B.M.O.C.

Livingston Manor, or the Pilam House to the uninitiated, shall see the exodus this year ; of a group of gentlemen amicably known as the Happy Eleven. To this unique group, this little retrospect is dedicated. Stormy, serene - cultured, coarse - athletic, sluggish, aggressive, submissive - the tragic, the comic - the optimist, the pessimist - the aesthetic, the mercenary • the naive, the astute - Rachmaninoff, rock ' n roll - the Bard, Walt Disney; these para- doxical comparisons and 100 more describe the Class of 1956, genus pilamus. Transition - the magic word - is the key to the past four years, both to Pilam and the Institute. From youthful, exuberant freshmen matured into staid seniors. These years have seen a once empty house, house seventeen brothers. The enrollment of the Institute doubled. The White House - the new Deans - Textile to Technological. Yes, these truly were years of transition. Academicly, the record shows Pilam has won the scholastic trophy three out of the last four years. Pilam has won the soft- ball trophy 4 out of last 5 years. Varsity sports have seen many Pilams represented in basketball, soccer, baseball, and tennis. The Text and The Pickout were also focal points of the brethren ' s extra-curricula activities. Memories are made of this: the 1937 Ford, the wrecked garage, the stucco-gushy and sticky, 10 to Nashua, Montreal fire es- capes, Wrestling Tonight, southern revival meetings, Wild West Party, Charles Adams, Uncle Sy ' s Airplane, the Lambda Pi-eyes; these are the cherished fragments that in their unity form a full and memorable fra- ternal life for these truly Happy Eleven.

The brothers of 1956 will never forget the fraternalism, spirit, and experiences of these formative college years. It is the fer- vent desire that this spirit shall not wane. As active alumni, these brothers will truly be Pilams for life. Scrimes At Play Have A Brew (Milk) Thimk Party Time Darling The Gang and Queenie Lovers Kenneth Cohen President Richard Savage Vice President Frances Delaney Secretary Paul Yannalfo Treasurer When we, the Class of 57 arrived on the LTI campus to begin our Junior year, we were greeted by the large class of Freshmen who were busily studying their KEYS which by now literally covered the campus. This Freshman handbook on which members of our class so labored during our Sophomore year, was now a reality and The Key staff composed of: co-editors, Gerald Harlam and Larry Kopelowitz and also Frank Mann and Fran Delaney in charge of sports and art, respectively, really deserved credit for the wonderful job they had done in compiling the handbook. With the advent of the Keys, Freshmen were required to uphold the rules of hazing which terminated at Field Day and the successful All-Tech banquet. As our class schedules began to fall into place, many of us thought that our roughest years had passed, while others felt that added outside interests would make the task of settling down and studying more difficult. Before we even had time to keep our resolution of flipping over a new leaf , the Tech social sea- son was on its way with the fabulous I.F.C. Weekend with its songs, skits, and dance. Eight weekers shortly followed but unfortunately these could not be con- sidered a part of the social season—however they somehow could not be neglected. We all looked forward to the Thanksgiving holiday with its traditional observance and a little time to catch up on already late lab reports. Somehow Thanksgiving came and went (we still hadn ' t caught up on those reports!) and now plans were being made for the annual ROTC Weekend. The Military Ball was a tremendous success and the Junior class was well represented by: Maj. John Finnegan, Capts. Frank Mann, Vincent Kulikowski, Rino Pellissier, Peter Popper, 1st Lts. Paul Donovan, Larry Kopelowitz, Ronald Francoeur, Roger Kondeau, Paul Yan- nalfo, and Richard Savage. By this time, all the organizations were in full swing and many Juniors held prominent offices. The soccer team led by Captain Carlos Ceppas and consis- ting of many Juniors including Jim Lowell, Mike Teubal, Ricardo Villa, and Abe Okorodudu had completed a successful season and now the basketball team was the major sports attraction. Classmates Dave Hannon, Dick Silver, and Marty Birnbaumwere very instrumental in contributing to the team ' s success. The Text published an Extra announcing the news of the LTI victory over MIT. With only a couple of weeks of classes in December, we were soon enjoying our Christmas vacation. We returned after New Year ' s with the usual resolu- tions, Christmas ties, hangover, etc. Needless to say, after we hadbroken our resolutions as usual, we began to regret it because exams were already too close for comfort. How we ever survived exams is still beyond us but that was not important now; we were starting a new semester, with new profs, new books new subjects, and even turning over a new leaf— again. The class officially numbered 139 students as President Ken Cohen together with Vice-President Dick Savage, Treasurer Paul Yannalfo, Secretary Fran De- laney, and Student Council Representative Bob Schiek, called to order the first class meeting. After discussing the necessary business, we agreed to hold a Spring dinner dance on April 21, as our class function. March 2 and 3 were the dates of the glorious All Tech Weekend with Club Moulin Rouge and its booths, jazz concert, queen, motorcade and ball. Everybody who attended had a won- derful time which will be long remembered. Student Council elections were held early in the Spring and Ed McGann was elected president with Bob Schiek, Ray Desrochers and Dave Hannon as Vice- President, Secretary and Treasurer, respectively. The lacrosse and baseball teams had already begun practicing and many junior players anxiously looked forward to the opening of the respective seasons. Rehearsals for Mister Roberts were in full swing and everybody was excited as we eagerly awaited the pro- duction and the appearance of the special guests, Bette Davis and Gary Merill. Many of the Junior chemists of the student AATCC chapter were busy preparing a program to entertain the Northern New England Section in April. Fraternitiescconducted their traditional Hell week . The Juniors were now the big wheels as they recalled similar situations of just a year or two ago. The old New England weather pulled a boner as we were buried under several feet of snow. (The same effect was attained during many lectures.) Meanwhile, we anticipated the Easter holidays with the accompanying spring vacation. The month of May meant fraternity formals, Mister Roberts, and Upstream Day with which we were all so familiar. Most of the Juniors were ordering their class rings and realizing that there was only one more year of campus life at LTI. It was a wonderful feeling as our classmates were elected to lead various campus organizations next year. We were approaching the peak of our college career and we had enjoyed every minute of it— almost every minute!—. We knew that theclass of 57 would return in September with the same spirit that has made this Junior year so unforgetable .

Don ' t Get It Roger McCausland President Leo Devarenne Vice President Toby Koffman Secretary Walter Dardano Treasurer Once again early in September, the Class of ' 58 assembled on the campus along the shares of the beautiful Merrimac. Although our number had been de- creased, there were still many old friends to be greeted and stories of the summer ' s escapades to be told and heard. The red beanies were back, but this year they looked good to us somebody else was wearing them. There was someone lower than us on the class ladder, and as sophomore, the hazing of this year ' s freshmen fell into our very willing hands. We had inherited, from the Juniors, a big job and the problem of main- taining the Tech Orientation Committee in the same wonderful manner they had. Now, when we heard the cries of tip that beanie, Freshman, and Recite the third rule on your Ten Commandments , they were from our own lips, and we knew we had finally arrived. This was the first time the freshmen handbook (useful to all students) was published, and through the hard work and excellent guidance of the previous year ' s TOC, it was a great success. Handed out to every student and faculty member. The Key lived up to its name as it opened the door to a bright and happyfour years at college, by introducing thecity.the school, its organizations, institutions, rules and alma mater, and out of town entertainment. And, to insure the learning of the alma mater by the freshmen, some of our classmates staged well remembered concerts with all freshmen talent on the library steps. But, as had happened the year before, the freshmen found out this life could not last forever; and, on November 2 they had their day of reckoning with us. This was the date for the second annual frosh— soph field day. Here, the fresh- men were victorious, particularly in the special event, where ten of our class- mates, including several girls, upon winning a popularity contest, were given the grand prize of a beauty treatment, sometimes referred to as a mud bath. That night, the All-Tech banquet was held and freshmen hazing for this year was officially ended in the grand manner until next year. Now, the officers of TOC, headed by .toger McCausland, are again choosing a committee to start the ball rolling once again for a grand welcome for the Class of ' 60. Our class has been active in the athletic field also, particularly on the bas- ketball court with Bernie Heumann and iCrnie Glanz as examples and on the soccer field with Boris Hermas and Lionel Aquilla, just to name a few. And, of course, Ann Kochanek and Elaine Garside were active from the sidelines as cheerleaders at all the sports events. Other students have worked hard on helping out in many other extra-curricular activities and many have maintained a high scholastic average and appear on the Dean ' s list, giving our class that balance necessary all through our lives here at Tech. We ha. We have all, of course, cracked a book and burned the midnight oil while snacking on No-doz pills. There have been the courses we thought we ' d never pass (got an A) and the ones that were a snap (got a D); the lab reports that somehow got written; and the slide rules that we were sure we ' d never learn how to use that have since become indispensable. We ' ve used toothpicks to keep our eyes open for eight o ' clock lectures and starved ' til six in labs. There were those horrible mornings when ROTC Drill was scheduled for eight o ' clock and now the boys are looking forward to the day when they can take off those uniforms for good— at least until after graduation. Still, some hardy souls signed sp for advanced and will be leading the troops next year. But there has still been time for fun. There have been the big week ends, Military Ball I.P.C., and All-Tech, the parties, and the plain good times. We ' ve gotten to know each other and our school better and have enriched our lives by these experiences. When we first arrived here, it seemed as if four years would never pass, and now half that time is already gone and in September we ' ll be returning for the last half of our stay here. True, there are times when the going has been rough and we ' ve wondered if we ' ll ever get through, but in the end we all know its worth it and we all just hope that the next two years are as full and complete with the gaining of friendship, knowledge and practical experience that our first two years have been. 154 Franci s Wieloch Student Counci I Representative What ' s On TV Very Funny Left to right: 1st row- Siegars, T.

The axiom applies equally to companies as to individuals. Such famous dyestuff products as the Solophenyls, Cuprophenyls, Erio Chromes, the revolutionary, new Irgalans and, of course Mitin durable mothproofing were developed as the result of nearly a centruy of Geigy research in the textile field.

Westaway, Montreal, Quebec; Hamilton, Ont. Gessner Improved Cloth Finish- ing Machines maintain a stand- ard of performance to meet the vxact requirements of your cloth finishing. Quality and quantity are both part and parcel of Gessner Hi-Torc napping of COTTONS. This is the result of maximum raising action. With transmission of power never before so swiftly and accurately di- rected, the Hi-Torc Napper opens the fabric more quickly and proceeds to nap more evenly in less time, than you would believe possible. From one control panel, you can duplicate exact napping results again and again, or you can vary them at will. Gessner takes the guesswork out of napping. Amco systems offer a choice of humidification, evaporative cooling ( cen- tral station, dry duct, or ductless types) or refrig- eration — alone or in com- bination. You can rely on Amco to give you advice on the system best suited to your needs. AMERICAN MOISTENING COMPANY PROVIDENCE • RHODE ISLAND Compliments of ABBOTT Machine Co., inc.
