Born in England, Prof. Hindle served with the Navy in World War I and was graduated from Lowell Tech in 1925. He also attended Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology and Albany Business College. He had been at Lowell Tech since 1930 where he was professor of engineering and education and also facultv manager and treasurer of the Lowell Textile Associates, Inc., bookstore. He was a member of the program com- mittee of the New England section of the American Society for Engineering Education, the Wyoming lodge of Masons and was a deacon of the Green Street Baptist church in Melrose, where he resided. Professor Hindle will be greatly missed from Lowell Tech while the benefits gained by the Institute from his untiring efforts will be reflected in its continued prestige and advancement. DEDICATION The staff of The 1956-57 Pickout joins the faculty and the students of Lowell Technological Institute in honoring the memory of Associate Professor Charles L. Howarth, who was for 35 years a member of the chem- istry department at Lowell Tech. He died after a short illness December 31, ' 1956. Professor Howarth was graduated from LTI in 1917 with the bachelor of textile chemistry degree. After industrial experience with the Middlesex Bleach, Dye and Print Works in Somerville, Massachusetts, and Sayles Finishing Plants in Saylesville, Rhode Island, he was appointed to the L.T.I. facutly in 1921. During World War I he had charge of the testing at the Boston Depot Army Quartermaster Corps. He held membership in the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists and he served as consultant for Dow Chemical Company. Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Company and the Kelco Company. Those of us who knew Charles L. Howarth are thankful for that privi- lege, and he will be greatly missed at Lowell Technological Institute. PROF. CHARLES HOWARTH GOVERNOR ' S MESSAGE Higher education in Massachusetts has two major contributions to make to the future of our Commonwealth. We need education for citizenship; and we need education which will help Massachusetts regain its industrial leadership. The growth of our state-supported system of higher education illustrates our awareness of these two needs, and of the fact that both needs must be met simultaneously. All of us are familiar with the demand for increased opportunities at our uni- versities and technological institutes. In attempting to meet this demand we must never forget that our civilization calls for a constantly increasing supply of skilled and wise citizens. Of course, skill and wisdom can be acquired in many ways, but for most of us the quickest and most economical method of becoming a little wiser and more skilled is through formal education. ' - - ■, With the increasing dependence of New England upon scientifically based industries and with the great potential of new scientific developments, we here in this section of the country must focus ,a.; igjeat ideal of attention on how best to provide educational opportunities. We; must bear in mind the very great extent to which our economy will continue to ' .erijphjbize ' light industry, of which an example is the area of electronics and modern communications. Such enterprises call for a large number of very highly skilled persons. Much of what they need to know and do is better learned in school and college than on the job. For them the development of analytic powers and a grasp of mathematics and the sciences are essential. This has important implications for both secondary school and college pro- grams. It means not merely an increase in existing programs of vocational education as currently supported by Federal and State funds, but also a strengthening of all areas of school work: arts and letters, sciences and mathematics, and the social studies. All of those who have the opportunity of receiving further education will have the privilege and responsibility of making civic contributions as community needs arise. With these thoughts in mind, it is a pleasure to greet you at this time. Sincerely fc M) It t c Foster Furcolo Governor PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE This year the PICKOUT observes its Golden Anniversary. Through the course of half a century of publication, the Institute ' s yearbook has enjoyed a growth in prestige and in- fluence which has paralleled the development of LTI itself. In its fruitful half-century span, Lowell Tech has provided an unusual venture in high- er education. The founders of this institution, in the final decade of the 19th century, sought to meet the pressing need in the area for men educated in textile technology. With, vision they established the Lowell Textile School which, until 1913, awarded only certifi- cates and diplomas in textile manufacturing subjects. The experimental years of the school led to the stabilization of the curriculum, the expansion of the premises, the augmenting of instructional facilities, the intensification of sound and wise leadership in its administrative function. Then in 1928 the school was renamed the Lowell Textile Institute to indicate more fully its collegiate status. This change marked the beginning of a new era of progress which included the establish- ment of the Graduate School, broadening of the scope of the engineering program, and sub- sequent diversification — within the past dynamic decade — into the important fields of electronics, leather, paper, and plastics. The veterans of World War II taxed LTI ' s capabilities in the 1940 ' s but the challenge was met with vigor and originality. The Institute took great steps forward in strengthen- ing course offerings, and crystallized a long-range plan to add new programs of instruction and research. Additional responsibilities now called for further building to accommodate the expanded enrollment attracted by the new curricula which was carefully designed to pro- vide the new industries of the Commonwealth with their future executive material. Yet an- other name change — to the Lowell Technological Institute — was effected in 1953, in recog- nition of the expanded and diversified role that LTI was selected to play in the educational complex of the State. Progress has been the keynote of the 56-year span recorded by successive issues of the PICKOUT from 1907 to 1957. On the occasion of this anniversary, Lowell Tech may proudly look hack at the accomplishments of a half century of achievement, and from the present vantage-point can confidently survey a future of service and success. LTI can take justifiable pride in its progress manifest in its contributions to the people and to the in- dustries of the Commonwealth during the past 50 years; and the Institute can look forward to the privilege of extending and expanding these contributions in the years ahead so that its progress and that of Massachusetts will continue the glories and traditions of the past. The PICKOUT, as an integral and highly-respected interpreter of the life of LTI, can look forward also to opportunities for greater service. During the past 50 years it has been a continuous chronicle of the events shaping the development of the Institute and its edi- torial and other departments have reflected the changing scene from that most critical point of view — that of the student. On the occasion of this Golden Anniversary, the members of the PICKOUT staff in particular and their fellows in the Class of 1957 in general are most deserving of our congratulations and felicitations. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Faculty and Alumni, I am pleased to extend sincere best wishes for a future filled with a continuing record of accomplishment and achievement and with every success and happi- ness Ad multos annos!

DL SS£AtJfc.T Graduation of Class of 1956 Class of 1945 20 Senior-Alumni gathering I here are few experiences in our lives which have as much significance as college graduation. For many of us it is the culmination of our formal education; a goal finally achieved, which had been set since our early youth. For others, it is merely a stepping stone to graduate work. Whether it be the end in itself or a means to an end, it is still an exciting event. Four years ago, as the senior class matriculated, gradu- ation day seemed somewhere far off in the distant future. The road was clearly set before us. Some followed this path and are now ready to reap their reward, while others strayed and were no longer heard from. The path was strewn with impediments, those equal to the challenge survived and now find the reward worth the effort. Now the senior class is ready to make its mark in industry. All of the hard work encountered in the past four years will stand them in good stead as they assume their responsibilities in the world of business. There will be fewer mistakes tolerated; logical thought will receive little praise as this will all be taken in a rather matter of fact manner, as it is expected. It is with a certain amount of reluctance that we leave the sheltered life of the past four years. We must now convert all of our academic learning into useful tools with which we may forge our future. Industry is looking forward to our arrival — we shall not disappoint them.

The senior is an individualist tar superior to other forms of life who knows all there is to know about the Institute and how to accomplish his desired goal with a minimum of work. He knows all the secretaries by their first name and walks between the lower-classman with the pomp and dignity of Humpty-Dumpty. He is sharp witted and when he notices a tie around the neck of one of his fellow-classmates, he realizes that a company is interviewing seniors on campus. The senior is an excellent story-teller, and can readily be found on the steps of the library boasting of his conquests of various females — most of whom live near a mining center known as the Gold Coast . His only weakness is his susceptibility to a contagious disease known as D -plex which usually has its origin during the time of the year when the tops of convertibles are lowered. With all of his eccentricities, he is loved and respected by all since he is one of the three that will be there at graduation. s E N I O R 1 S c R A P B O O K In Retrospect We arrived at Lowell Tech in September of 1953, and now in June of 1957, we leave our four year haven to enter the world for which we have been trained. Surely, this is the hour to survey this, our college life, at the time of its ending. It was September 14, 1953, that our life at Tech began. This was the day we were introduced to our Presi- dent and to our Deans. Everyone was given a red handbook of rules and regulations and a stack of cards to fill out in triplicate to simplify registration. Then it was announced that before a freshman le ft the hall, he must pay his fresh- man registration fee and also get a pass from the Bursar. We were pretty well shorn when we left that hall, but there was one more stop to be made. The bookstore had its package deal already for us — poor, unsuspecting fresh- men. Most of us felt the ax and bought the package. We staggered from the bookstore under a load of things — some of which we still don ' t know how to use. The next day, at the impossible hour of seven, we were herded into blue buses for a bumpy ride to Fort Devans. The pleasures of that day will long be remembered by we of ' 57. On the third dav we were fitted to blue uniforms and were made Cadets ' . Our week of orientation was over before we knew it, and we were deep in the intricacies of the Summation of Force before many periods passed. The main topic of con- versation among all the upperclassmen was the Teachers? or girls, who unfortunately no longer graced our campus. We were struck with the appearance of Sgt. Hawkins — the Hawk — and his ever present silver whistle. We were neatly in college now — leaning back during lectures — notes were below us — we didn ' t even bother to strain to hear Sabbagh ' s voice — we still had plenty of cuts — then, the five week grades were sent home! This was a harsh awaking for the class of 1957. We buckled down to study. Those that didn ' t — but these are the memories of the graduates of 1957. Our first semester in college was full of activities, as is every semester. During this time WLTI changed their base of operations from the room near the lockers to the Eames Hall location. The ROTC held the Military Ball at the Crys tal Ballroom in Shawsheen. It was quite ego- building to have two white gloved A.P. ' s pull open the doors on the way in for us. At the M.I.T. rally, we saw how colleges build spirit by bombing cars from Southwick Hall windows with empty cider bottles. We cheered as Coach Morey introduced the members of our Varsity while M.I.T. went down in flames behind him. We lost, but it was fun. We went on a Hayride sponsored by the newly elected class officers — We went out to a field where there were open fires — there we toasted marshmellows, hot dogs — and enjoyed the good fellowship of classmates. However, on the way home, I ' ll never forget that flat tire that the driver refused to change. Bump - bump all the way to Tech. It still hurts. Then it was time for semester finals. We gathered by the hundreds to sweat through three hours of trick questions. A few days of vacation, and some of us re- turned. A new course was just starting, Electronics, and in our four years we were to see many new courses. Yes, Electronics was started and grade distributions began to appear on bulletin boards, an unheard of thing, and the men you saw around school with their heads in a cloud and their minds in a textbook could only be Electronics majors. At the All-Tech Weekend, referred to as the All-Week- end Weekend, Billy Butterfield played while the previous night, couples danced to jazz under the lights in the parking lot in back of the library. This was the semester we all went to Atlantic City. We rode the horses in the surf and wandered through the Textile Manufacturer ' s Convention, gathering literature on everything in sight. (Most of us never unpacked it.) Also, while in Atlantic City, we made the rounds; the 500 Club, Tropicana and Monkey Club. Then, back to the buses for the ride back to Lowell. Could anyone ever forget the ROTC Band jamming on The Saints as we went thru the Bronx or the drag race between the buses as we went up the Parkway? After the week at Atlantic City, there was barely time for the Players to present Remains to be Seen and for Upstream Day before we were into our finals. We were sweating thru our first year ' s final effort while the class of ' 54 graduated. If they could do it, so could we! At the beginning of our sophomore year, our class officers originated the hazing present at Tech. The Key was drawn up by our class and distributed to all fresri- men. All around the school we saw red beanies and TOC armbands. Finally, the day of reckoning, the Field Day, arrived, and by dirt or trickery, the freshmen pulled the upperclassmen right through the mud. Later that day, at the All-Tech Banquet, we welcomed the freshmen into the Tech family. It was at this time that, due to an election promise, the Student Council purchased a TV set for Eames Hall Lounge. Semester finals came and went. In the second semester of our Sophomore Year, the high point was the visit of Vice President Nixon for the dedication of Cumnock Hall. He was surrounded by an Honor Guard of ROTC Cadets all the time he was here. Ed Hayes, Student Council President, with a ceremony which was photographed and widely published, presented Mr. Nixon with a freshman beanie. Shortly after, the first I.F.C. Weekend took place, with each fraternity presenting skits and songs with an informal dance the following night. Social activities began to multiply as we came into the l ast lap of our sophomore year. Claude Thornhill was the band master for the All- Tech Formal, the Players presented A Slight Case of Murder , Senior Stag and Upstream Day gave us the energy to go thru finals. We returned to Tech in the fall of ' 55 to commence our Junior Year. The campus was overrun with freshman wearing red beanies, the largest class ever; 300 +. Immediately the I.F.C. Weekend was upon us and Billy Note ' s smooth music floated us to the fraternity houses. The ROTC held an Open House for the families of the cadets. It was a period of great room cleaning. The Military Ball was held in Cumnock Hall with Bob Batchelder supplying the music. There, some of us were made officers and began to exercise our authority . Towards the end of our first semester, the Administra- tion announced a new course, General Engineering. To us it seemed like a little of everything mixed up all to- gether. It was time for finals again, and we then entered our last Junior semester. Shortly afterwards, with hardly a chance for studying, the All-Tech Weekend arrived. This year the Commanders played for our dancing pleasure, while the night before a Monte Carlo atmosphere prevailed including a Jazz Band which arrived later. We next held a junior Dinner which the class officers decided to hold at The Groton Inn. We enjoyed dinners of steak and the enjoyable music and atmosphere of Groton. Will anyone ever forget those hors d ' oeuvres? The Players presented Mr. Roberts and packed Cum- nock Hall for two nights, also managing to induce Bette Davis and her husband Gary Merrill to attend. The Fraternity Formal, held the following night, car- ried over the spirit of joy and success the play engendered. We wished the Senior ' s good-bye and good luck at the Senior Stag. Unfortunately,, three fraternities went on pro , we were so enthusiastic. The following morning, at Up- stream Day, Marty took off his tie when students threatened to cut it off. Our finals arrived and we watched the class of 1956 graduate. Our last summer in school passed too quickly and we were back in school — seniors. Yes, we were Seniors, at the top of the heap, but very shortly we were bogged down in a quicksand of lab reports, project approvals, and term papers. An ominous atmosphere prevailed until we checked our D ' s . As seniors, naturally we attended as many social func- tions as possible. After all, our last year in school. First was the I.F.C. Week-end, when we jitterbugged to a jazz band and listened to the fraternities compete in their choral groups. They were good, too! The next night was the big smooth dance in Cumnock Hall, the fraternal spirits ran late that night. We were amazed at the new administration policy of a unified freshman year. We didn ' t think it possilbe. We bounced back with the All-Tech Banquet, which officially ended hazing, and accepted the freshman as members of the Tech family. The ROTC held its annual Family Night, and many of us learned that they were to command the troops during our Senior Year. The very inspiring attendance at the ROTC ' s Church Day, at which each religious group met together for re- ligious services, showed critics that L.T.I, still had spirit! We sat thur the Perkin Centennial Celebration at which Governor Herter gave L.T.I, a million dollars and Senator Kennedy accepted an Honorary Degree. We went into semester finals sweating more than usual — this was the last chance for some. When we returned, we found men sketching the buildings, inspect- ing the labs, and finally we found out — the Harvard Planners. Seems they thought L.T.I, was the best way not to put anything together. The Military Ball was a very big night. All the pre- vious week we had been wondering what the rocket in front of Cumnock meant. Finally, we heard it fly off amid the strains of Bob Batchelder ' s music. We were rushing back and forth between interviews, seminars, and meetings. Then, the companies began to request second interviews. We had to fit them in! They wined and dined us, but we didn ' t know yet. The All-Tech Weekend arrived after much hearlding, the jazz band and M.C. keep us going till the wee hours Friday, and Saturday Les Elgart ' s Orchestra lifted us right off this world. It really was a shock to get back to earth (and to studying) after such a whirl with high living , but we managed. It took four years of college to be able to take a quiz on that kind of Monday and pass, just barely but still pass! We all attended the All-Society Dance. We all be- longed to at least one. The Text, in a break with tradition, didn ' t publish a Pink Issue in our senior year. Instead the Confidentool was published. Did anyone ever make anything out of those dots? The Fraternity Formals followed the Tech Players pre- sentation of Out of the Frying Pan. A very appreciative audience showed their appreciation by according the Players five curtain calls. Again it was time for Upstream Day. We were a little sad at the festive occasion. The end of our four years was coming too fast! Many of us had accepted a job. Our futures were rosy — but it was sad to break so abruptly from the past, and from L.T.I. Yes, Lowell Tech, we ' ll miss you. All the joys and disappointments, the friends, the parties and quizzes, all these are a part of our life in college. And now, that life is alive only in our memories. That ' s the reason why there will always be a touch of sadness when we think of our years at Lowell Tech.

New Chemistry Laboratory I roi I rom a world renowned textile school, Lowell Tech- nological Institute has become a pioneer in many of the engineering fields. Today, the classes at L.T.I, are dazedly walking through the corridors mumbling about leather, paper, plastics and electronics. It is an achievement of no small proportions that has brought L.T.I, out of a highly specialized curricula into a diversified engineering school. The outlook for students en- rolled in these new courses is extremely bright, and the school expects these young men and women to carry the name of Lowell Tech into their respective fields of in- dustry with as much luster as their predecessors have done in the realm of textiles. It has been stimulating to participate in the rapid ex- pansion and diversification which the Institute is still pre- sently experiencing. New buildings have arisen, old rooms torn down and other parts of the exciting buildings have been ronovated. Through the great power of concentration (how else could one survive amid the general noise and confusion?) the students of the various classes have carried on in their never ending thirst and search for knowledge. As the seniors leave the campus they carry with them a picture in their mind ' s eye of four years of growth — both intellectual and emotional; the juniors are ready to take place as the next senior class and each of the other two classes look toward the future and the prospects it holds for them.

' The summer ended for most of us on the bright sunny morning of September 17th, and our minds were once more put into serious operation. Our Joe College education (?) being half over gave us many priceless experiences to talk over amongest ourselves. While the beanied ones and the wise fools seemed like reflections in a mirror of our own actions when we were the greenhorns of the Institute. The year began in somewhat of a state of confusion with the usual exasperating attempts to remove all eight o ' clock and Friday afternoon classes from our crowded schedule. But this year something seemed different. As we turned the third floor corner, by instinct, from Falmouth into Pasteur Hall it came to our ever observant eyes that the hallway was now the beginning of a new men ' s laboratory. Sometime during the summer the hall was moved, and it now ran through the middle of F 301. Scenes such as this were discovered in various places throughout our ever growing campus.

The first semester sped by without mercy, leaving us face to face with finals in courses which we never realized we had taken. But, alas, all was not the dreariness of study and class. We also enjoyed many social activities. Though social probation of three quarters of our fraternities limited the functions, we managed to forget ourselves for a few nights. The I.F.C. Week-end was a tremendous success, along with the Military Ball, Freshmen Banquet, and various other dances and parties. Altogether, a well rounded social life was had by all. An enjoyable second semester was foreseen by our class officers, who were busy arranging for the traditional Junior Class Dinner-Dance. The affair was held at the Speare House on April 6th, and a good time was had by all that attended. The All-Tech Week-end on March 8-9 was high-lighted by the famous orchestra of Les Elgart. The last of the social events of the year was the always rememberable fraternity formals. With June here and finals over we are all faced with the inevitable decision of whether to increase our knowledge with six beautiful weeks of summer school or gain ' practical ' experience in punching time cards.

After spending a long awaited summer, much too quickly, we now return to the Yellow Mill on the banks of the Merrimac. As sophomores we have overcome the greatest obstacle in the way of attaining a college degree, the Freshman Year. As freshman, we were intimidated by the upperclassmen until a feeling of despondency prevailed over the entire class. As Sophomores, we have lost all feel- ings of inferiority, and at last have a true feeling of belong- ing. In our return as Sophomores we accepted the responsi- bility of the Tech Orientation Committee. The five week orientation period included an outing, smoker, dance, and finally Field Day with its traditional mud hole. As usual the Sophomores proved to be the mudders on the track. That evening at the All Tech Banquet the Freshman prov- ed themselves worthy enough to doff their beanies. The orientation program ended and everything fell back to the normal course of study. We treated the balances better than we treated Mother ' s old china. We were overly- attentive in Physics lectures and, ahhh, really tried to learn something. Some were even able to catch forty-winks in P-Chem lectures in comparison to the frantic note taking in Organic Chem. And we all found that Cushnnomics , presented by the athletic department, to be of little value in our intensified engineering curricula. Finals sneaked up on us, as usual, and common stock rose 28 points in the Harrison Products Corp. (No-Doz). The second semester started, the first semester marks came in, the initial shock wore off, and we were back in the swing of things. We chucked the study schedules early in March for the thought of Les Elgart and the coming All- Tech Weekend. The Weekend highlighted the social events of the second semester. It included a Roaring Twen- ties theme Friday with a good representation of our class wearing the costumes typical of that period. The dance music of Les Elgart on Saturday evening completed a weekend that could only be described as fabulous . The Class Dinner-Dance, the first positive attempt for a class social function, was held at the Groton Inn with everyone having a most enjoyable time. Our advisor, Dr. Moore, provided us with some after dinner anecdotes never to be forgotten. Easter vacation came and we all caught up on our much needed sleep to prepare for the coming four weeks and finals. The year has slipped away most rapidly and we find ourselves in a unique position, not yet juniors, and no long- er sophomores. We are one year older, somewhat wiser, and no longer have the faith in our abilities we thought we once had. 95 96 Danger! Students at work. First Row.

In September of 1956, a gay group of about 400 boys and 11 girls met for the first time in Cumnock Hall. This was the begin- ning of a new period in our lives. We were the Class of 1960. After speeches by the key members of the faculty, we began the process of registration. Then we received our beautiful red beanies and orientation be- gan. We were continually harassed by the T.O.C. members until Field Day. There, after a struggle, we pulled them into the ditch without even a splash on ourselves. That night at the banquet, by some chance, we had accumulated more points than the T.O.C; and so we doffed our hats and had a hearty meal. We had now become accustomed to our classes. Chemistry and Phvsics were dubbed the snow courses. Sometimes we had to study until two, three, or perhaps four o ' clock in the morning for an examination that day. Before doing homework, which came in pro- fusion, we had to conquer the slide rule. This is a battle that will never be forgotten. Studies didn ' t take all our time. There was some time for recreation. This past-time often came in the form of card games, whist predominantly. Knowledge of this game should be listed as an entrance requirement. Sports also took a high spot. Soccer and bas- ketball were followed with vigor by the stu- dent body. A few of our classmen were good enough to make the varsity squads. Class elections were imminent; campaigning was vigorous. Soon the day came and 90% of the Freshman chose their class officers. Tom Garrity became president, Dick Burtt, vice- president; Phyllis Kmiec and Rayeanne Sex- ton were chosen secretary and treasurer re- spectively; And finally, Garth Lax was elect- ed the student council representative. The fraternities and the sorority had sev- eral Rush parties, which everyone enjoyed. They helped us to know the upper classmen better. We found that they could be human in spite of the cruel way they treated us dur- ing orientation. That is, human until the ones who accepted the bids which were sent out began the pledging period. They were a pretty hectic group for a time and Hell- week topped the season. It was a rough week, but the survivors took it in their stride and became members of the respective organiza- tions. We are now approaching our Sophomore year as students of Lowell Technological In- stitute. We are looking forward to hazing the Freshman of the incoming class. We hope that they have as successful a freshman year as we have had. So closes the first year at college for the L.T.I, graduating class of 1960. 102 Saul and Molly The Boys First Row.

In the following pages will appear the stories of the various organizations at L.T.I. When the first issue of the Pickout was published, there were only a handfull of organizations on campus. Among those that were active then and are still active now, there are; the Tech players, Textile Engineering Society, and the A.A.T.C.C. From this modest beginning has come many diversified organizations such as the International Students Circle, Duplicate Bridge League, Circle K, to mention but a few. The growth of organizations on campus has closely paralleled the growth of the school. The era of speciali- zation has brought many unique organizations. This has not been the only change, however. Increasing awareness of social responsibilities has fostered other organizations de- signed to supplement formal education with other interests. Through these efforts has evolved a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect. In addition, the various organizations afford the stu- dent, an opportunity to develop his latent talents. There are numerous positions which require literary ability, lead- ership potentia l, and professional development. Thus, organizations play a vital role in providing out- lets for creative ability and just plain relaxation. o R G A N I Z A T I O N S Student Council President: Edward McGann Vice-President: Robert Schiek Secretary: Raymond Desrochers Treasurer: David Hannon Since its inception ten years ago, the Student Council here at Lowell Tech has grown in importance and responsi- bility as it has risen to its rightful place as coordinator of student activities and representative of the whole student body. For the first time, an effort was made this year to establish a definite social calendar with preset dates and a balanced arrangement of functions. In continuing the drive to more clearly define the rights and responsibilities of the students, Council representatives have participated in dis- cussions on rule changes and disciplinary procedure and have continued an effective Grievance procedure. Another innovation is to closer cooperation with the Interfraternitv Council and the Sorority which was used to good effect this year.

The Key The Key, the Lowell Tech Student Handbook, is sym- bolic 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 handbook contains a history of the col- lege, and of the city of Lowell; it also acts as a handy refer- ence 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 years ' officers were Ernest Glantz as Editor, Roger McCausland as Busi- ness Manager. The publishing of the Key is an important step forward in the advancement 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 orien- tation program. The Flying Club 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 mini- mum of cost. Membership to this club is open to any stu- dent of L.T.I. Each member buys an equal share of stock which gives him equal rights and privileges to the aircraft. Any R.O.T.C. student who conipletes 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 warded 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 Secretary. The club is guided by two faculty advisors who are also elected by the members, these are first, a flying Air Force Officer who supervises the flying and administration, and a faculty member who is qualified to advise in the keeping of records and books. 122 AFROTC BAND Leader Jame Weatherbee First Roil ' : M Sgt.

Band Music, Music, Music, is the slogan of the R.O.T.C. Band, one of the most colorful and active organizations sponsored by the Air Force R.O.T.C. at L.T.I. Since its origin the band has represented both the college and the Air Force at many Tech and local functions. . The Band is composed primarily of cadets in the R.O.T.C. Program, but any non-R.OT.C. student is en- couraged to participate in the Band ' s activities. The Band usually rehearses during drill periods and convocation hours. The Band is under the capable direction of Mr. Basil Larkin, a noted musician in his own right. Faculty advisor and tactical officer for the Band is 1st Lt. Thomas E. Con- very of the R.O.T.C. staff. In addition to providing music for the review and retreat ceremonies at dr ill, the Band has performed spectac- ularly at many, special concerts. Annual activities for the Band include performances at the Lowell Sun Golden Gloves Tournament, the R.O.T.C. Family night, and Awards Ceremonies. This year the Band was highly hon- ored by being selected to perform in Boston at the New England premiere of the motion picture Battle Hymn. Besides being a musical organization, the Band also competes with the other squadrons of the Cadet Corps as a military unit. Leather Engineering Society The Leather Engineering Society has been in exist- ence for five years. It was organized for the purpose of ac- quainting members of the Society with the people of the leather and its allied industries. The Society ' s policy is to have a monthly meeting which consists of a dinner followed by an informal seminar with a guest speaker from the leather or allied industries. This has proven quite beneficial for it enables the members to ask questions of mutual interest and to correlate scientific research with practical applications. The Leather Engineering Society has accomplished a great deal in fostering a close association with its members and industry insofar as giving the members an appreciation of what will be expected of them upon entering the leather industry. 123 PAPER ENGINEERING SOCIETY President James Copley Vice-President John Finnegan Secretary Richard Savage Paper Engineering Society The Paper Engineering Society was formed at Lowell Tech in the fall of 1952 to promote a better acquaintance between the upper and lower classmen of the Paper En- gineering course, to form a liaison between the members of the Society and men in the paper industry, and to discuss problems of mutual interest to the members. This year ' s first meeting was an organizational one and closed with an understanding that the future monthly meetings would consist of a dinner followed by an informal seminar with a guest speaker from the paper or allied in- dustry. With the help of Professor John Lewis, the faculty advisor, speakers were secured to discuss the topics of paper selling; the duties of a technical director; what a personal director in industry looks for in a graduating student; the problems encountered in the coloring of paper and starch sizing of paper. When the Paper Engineering Society was organized, there were only seven members. At the present time there are 47 active members in the organization; as the Paper Engineering course grows each year so it is expected will grow the Society.

Plastics Engineering Society The Plastics Engineering Society is another of the newly .formed professional societies on campus. It was form- ed with the purpose of affording students enrolled in Plas- tics Engineering an opportunity to meet socially with men currently working in the field of plastics. These meetings give the members an opportunity to get first-hand informa- tion on the industry and to meet old friends and make new ones. This is the second year of the society ' s existence. It is open to all students enrolled in the Department of Plastics Engineering. Monthly dinner-meetings are held at which speakers, prominent in the plastics field, discuss subjects of current importance to the members. The growth of the society has paralleled the growth of the number of students enrolled in the course, and at present there are approximately 30 members. Plans are now underway which will make our society the first student chapter of the Society of Plastics Engineers. DUPLICATE BRIDGE CLUB President Raynal Desrochers Secretary Joseph V.

During its many years of existence, the Circle has al- ways fulfilled the principle objectives for which it was or- ganized; namely to promote good fellowship and a better understanding through cultural, social and technical activi- ties among the students of all races and creeds at the Insti- tute. Many members of the Circle have had the pleasure of addressing various clubs and organizations in the Great- er-Lowell area during J:he past year. In this way new friendships have been made and a clearer understanding of foreign relations has resulted. The Circle members have also visited mills in the New England area in order to be- come better acquainted with American methods in industry. Duplicate Bridge Club The Duplicate Bridge Club started its sixth year of operation shortly after the school term began. Five players had graduated, but six freshmen were welcomed into the Club. This brought our membership to twenty-four. Many alternates signed up so that there was always someone on hand to keep the sessions functioning smoothly. A short business meeting was held after which the players settled down to their first round of bridge of the year. The Club had been operating as a joint Faculty-Stu- dent organization limited to males for the first five years. For the first time in its history, the Club accepted female members. This has worked out very well, and we now have three young women participating regularly. Another new feature was the awarding of nightly prizes to the top two teams. Nine different teams have won these awards to date, and they have proved an added incentive to all. In five years, the Club has had three Faculty teams and two Student teams as Champions. With four more ses- sions scheduled, six teams have an opportunity to even the score and he declared Champions for 1956-57. Socially, the Circle has within the last year sponsored a very successful dance in Cumnock Hall. These were very well attended and it is hoped that it will have the op- portunity of sponsoring many more in the future.

At the present time, the Fellowship ' s membership is comprised of students from Lowell Technological Institute, Lowell State Teachers Col- lege, and the Lowell General Hospital School of Nursing. Although primarily 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 privi- lege this past year to have as guest speakers for these meet- ings, pastors, from the Greater Lowell area. Four years ago, a body of Jewish students attend- ing Lowell Textile Institute applied for membership in the national Hillel organization and founded the present B ' nai B ' rith Hillel Councellorship at Lowell Technological Institute. HiHel strives to attain a two-fold goal: to make lewish college students heirs as well as creators-heirs to their his- toric heritage as well as potential creators of new values; sharers of time-validated experience as well as molders of new patterns of self expression; and recipients of knowledge as well as formulators of fresh insights. In its few years of existence, the Hillel at Lowell has ventured to reach this two-fold goal within its cultural, religious, and social pro- grams. This year, in keeping with the aims of Hillel, discus- sion groups were held on weekday evenings. Topics brought up by the students at these meetings ranged from Jewish history and customs to martial problems. Although Hillel is mainly a Jewish organization, stu- dents of other religious beliefs, interested in learning other aspects of Jewish life and history, attend discussions and other Hillel sponsored affairs. 126 NEWMAN CLUB President Leo Hart Vice-President Kathy Connors First Row: Cote, M.; McCall, P.; McGann, E.; Hart, L.; Mc- Namara, J.; Sherman, F.; Wie- loch, F.; Dusseault, C.j Polak, T.; Long, G.

The Newman Club of Lowell Techno- logical Institute has completed its sixth year as an organization serving the spiritual needs for Catholic students in a secular college. The Newman Club is a Catholic Club of Catholic Culture 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 Newman Club Federation, and of the Boston Province of National Newman Club Federation. Newnam Club Orientation Week Chairman Executive Board James Wetherbee Cynthia Dong Norman Brunelle John Hickson Tech Orientation Committee The Tech Orientation Committee The Tech Orientation Committee was or- ganized in 1953 with a twofold objective: one, to introduce the incoming freshmen to their new life and two, to instill the new students with academic and social initiative for their own betterment and for the betterment of the Institute. Under the capable leadership of James Weatherbee and the Officers of the Class of 1959, with assistance from the program chair- men Sheila Brady, Walt Dawson, Fred Tur- cotte, Kevin Flynn, Rudy Morin, Don La Torre, Joe Dixon, and Dan Pushee, the program ac- complished the major portion of its goals. One week before school officially opened, the orientation program began and consisted of a smoker, an outing at the Tyngsboro Country Club, and a dance. In addition to this, the smoker also afforded the incoming freshmen an opportunity to familiarize themselves with their new classmates, advisors, and the facilities of the Institute. Once school had begun, the freshmen, who were by now divided into groups, found such objects as beanies, nametags, and the Key to be an intricate part of their existence. During this time, inter-group basketball games were being held, and the winner of the competition played a team composed of TOC members. The vict or of this latter contest was awarded the all important points which would allow the harrassed freshman to jubilantly doff his beanie and take his rightful place among the student ' body. As a result of a four point victory, gained over their sophomore guardians in the Field Day Competition, the liberated freshmen shed their beanies forevermore at the All-Tech Banquet. Following the banquet, plans were laid for the next year ' s activities, thus bringing to a close a period which will probably remain as the most memorable few weeks in the life of the new Tech-Men . 128 First Row: Brunell, N.; Souza, R.; Dong, C; Weatherbee, J.; Hickson, J.

The main objective of WLTI is to satisfy the stu- dent ' s musical desires. Broadcasting on a carrier current of 655 KC. five days a week, from 7:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M., WLTI plays con- tinuous 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 sympho- nies, 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. 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 whce, when, and by the entertainer 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 Technological Institute, broad- casting from our studio in the basement of Eames Hall, welcome to our listening audi- What are your views on the Near East?

This group was reorganized in 1922 and from that date has been known as the American Associa- tion of Textile Chemists and Colorists . The A 2 Student Chapter thus serves as a bridge be- tween the textile industry and the student, by providing a means for exchange of technical in- formation. The chapter of A 2 TC- here at LTI is the oldest and largest of the nine student chapters in existence throughout the textile schools of the United States. Throughout the year, the A 2 tries to plan diversified programs which will hold the interest of all its members. In order to give the members an opportunity to discuss something which par- ticularly interested them during the meeting, a social hour follows each meeting. Thus far this year, we have had with us Mr. Henry E. Millson who presented an illus- trated lecture on the Use of the Microdyea- scope in Dyeing , and Mr. Paul Platzman who demonstrated how ultrasonics can be used in the textile industry. Movies showing the steps of textile chemical processing were enjoyed at our last meeting. Student representatives of A 2 at- tended two Northern New Egnland Section meetings; one at Science Park in Boston and the other at a Boston Hotel. At present, the A 2 is planning a field trip to a dyeing and finishing plant in Uxbridge, Massachusetts. 130 First Row: O ' Keefe, J.; Coppetta, L.; Keenan, R.; Polak, T.; Denio.

In April, LT1 held open house, and the A- members prepared an exhibit which in- cluded: an exhibition on optical bleaching, a demonstration of cross dyeing, and the spin- ning of cellulose acetate. In May, the Northern New England Section held its monthly meeting at LTI. This student-run meeting is an annual affair which is made up of an afternoon program of tours throughout the school and talks by undergraduates; a dinner follows and the evening portion of the meeting was held in Eames Lounge. During the evening, techni- cal papers were presented by the students, and a social hour was held. In ending the years ' activities, we hope that we were able to look back on a successful year. If we have acquainted some students with an unfamiliar portion of the role that chemistry plays in the textile industry — then we were successful.

Since then it has been one of the more active societies on campus and through seminars, lectures, field trips, and motion pictures it provides the member with more insight to industry. Membership to A.S.M.E. is restricted to the. students majoring in Textile Engineering, which is an accredited engineering course. During the 1956-57 school year, ' the out- standing event was the Textile Engineering Conference of April 12, 1957 which was held at Lowell Tech. in Cumnock Hall.

When the students approached their professors, who included, Dr. Chapin A. Har- ris, Prof. Jacob K. Frederick, Jr., Prof. Russell Brown and Prof. David Pfister, they were most happy to help them establish the new organization and were extremely helpful in their advisory ca- pacities during the early days of the society. To date the Textile Society has sponsored mill trips and seminars, which have given a practical view of the industry to the members, thereby sup- plementing their in class studies here at L.T.I. The officers and members of the Textile Society look forward with anticipation to a very success- ful future and improvement in the years that lie ahead.

This job could only be accomplished by thorough planning and the cooperation of everyone as- sociated with the book. That this was done testifies to the initiative and preseverance of the staff. This year we have attempted to incorporate the story of fifty years of progress into our publication. Few schools can boast of greater achievements in such a short period of time. These fifty years have seen the Institute change from a textile school to a highly respected engineering college, encompassing courses totally un- related to textiles. It is with a great deal of pride that we present this history of progress. We are confident that the next fifty years hold even greater promise for Lowell Technological T istitute. Few people unassociated with the Pickout are in a position to appreciate the tremendous amount of prepara- tion and work involved in publishing a yearbook. Work- ing on a very close deadline, assignments had to be made for copy and pictures. All copy must be proof- read with an eye toward its place in a coherent manner. In addition, there are the problems of layout and the important selection of a cover. Each of these problems requires a great deal of attention to insure a successful yearbook. The brunt of the work load fell on the shoulders of our Editor-in-Chief, Ken Cohen. His was the all-im- portant job of coordinating the various activities into a directed effort. Not the least of his. problems was seeing that his editors were adequately performing their assign- ments and also giving assistance where it was needed. By the nature of his own expenditure of energy, Ken has won the respect and admiration of his associates. Mort Schneider had his problems as Photography Editor. It ' s no easy job chasing camera shy seniors around First row - Savarese, G.; Dusseault, C; Long, G.; Cohen, K.; Delaney, F.; Veraert, C; Ved, R.

In addition, Mort had the unenvi- able task of wading through stacks of pictures to de- termine the ones best suited for incorporation into the book. The problems of layout were not new to Fran De- laney. Those who have worked with Fran know they can expect her very best. Fran lent her artistic talent to the Pickout of 1956 as Layout Editor, the position which she holds this year. It ' s safe to say that layout really determines the fate of a yearbook. Judicious thought must be given before any work can progress to any de- gree. Poor judgment can lead to a very monotonous book. Jerry Boches, the Literary Editor, had the job of writing some of the copy, proof-reading most of the other copy, and assisting Ken Cohen in coordinating the various sections into a coherent book. Jerry also assisted in the all important job of caption writing. Joe Friedrich, our Organizations Editor, was re- sponsible for obtaining the various organizations articles and assisting in their writing. There were plenty of articles to keep Joe hopping from one person to another worrying about his deadlines. On the business side, Pete Popper, the Business Manager, and Jack Raymond, the Advertising Manager, had their hands full sending letters to prospective ad- vertisers, and soliciting ads personally within the New England Area. No matter how good the book, it cannot be printed unless it is adequately financed. Carolyn Dusseault proved invaluable to the staff, as she designed the sparator face pages, as well as aiding Fran and her lavout staff. Finally, a few words of appreciation to our Faculty Advisor, Mr. Thomas Higgins, for his patience, under- standing, and his confidence.

Founded in 1927, it now has a membership numbering over four hundred. Students who are on the Dean ' s List for six consecutive semesters or have a cumulative four year average of 3.0 are elegible for membership in this society. The purpose of Tau Epsilon Sigma is to provide a scholastic goal and to reward attainment of this goal through the coveted gold key, symbol of the society. Professor John J. McDonald again capably served as faculty advisor. The purpose of the Nucleus is two-fold. First, to provide a means whereby all the members might benefit from the individual members ' experiences in industry, social life, and in general, his overall experiences associated with his college career. Secondly, to prepare its members for their approaching endeavors in industry and business, by familiarizing them with the intricacies of conducting sem- inars, public speaking and human relations. Membership has been restricted to fifteen Juniors and Seniors who have been selected and recommended by the previous years ' members, because of their high scholastic standing, and their interest and particpation in extra-curricu- lar activities around the school. 138 Mike receiving ' his letter Varsity Club OFFICERS President Frank V. Mann Vice-President William Walsh Secretary Miguel Teubal Treasurer Thomas M. Keville The Varsity Club was organized in 1950, and in its seven years of existence it has done much in the way of improving athletics at Lowell Technological Institute. The club is composed of lettermen from the various varsity teams at L.T.I. Its purpose is to unite the athletes from all the sports into one common organization in order that they may work for the betterment of athletic conditions on campus, and promote friendships and annual events be- tween the faculty of Lowell Tech, the fraternities of Lowell Tech, and the student bodies of other colleges. Through the guidance of its faculty advisor, Professor Fred Burtt, it has achieved many of these goals. The Varsity Club has worked diligently with the Athletic Association and with the Athletic Committee to promote school spirit, intra-mural activities, and classification of varsity sports. Its long-term objective is to improve the general condition of athletic facilities. r ir:,i row — Finnegan, J.; Keville, T.; Bum, F.; Mann, F.; Walsh, W.; Teubal, M.; Epstein, S.

Hannon Vice-President Richard Savage Secretary Thomas Keville Treasurer Raynal Desrochers The Circle K Club was organized in May 1953 under the sponsorship of the Kiwanis Club of Lowell. It is an honorary service organization and makes avail- able a contact with members of the Lowell Kiwanis Club and speakers invited to the regular monthly dinner meet- ings of the Club. Students invited to join Circle K are chosen because of both scholastic standing and their desire to be of service to others. At the present time, there are thirty-five charter members. Since its inauguration, Circle K has helped with freshman orientation by directing the freshmen in person or by distributing informative pamphlets. The Circle has held a successful exhibition with the Kiwanis Club of Lowell for its fund raising drive. A tutoring program has been established at L.T.I, under the sponsorship of Circle K .

Starr Jr. Treasurer _ Nicholas Skames The Electronic Engineering Society was organized in May of 195.6 to promote a program of professional develop- ment for the Electronic Engineering students at the Institute. As a part of this program the Society provides one speaker. a month from the varied phases of the Electronics Industry to correlate the theoretical academic work with the practical ap- plications being undertaken in Industry. The first speaker of the year deviated from the theme of technical , and instead, presented a discussion on Careers in Electronics. This topic was continued in the spring with a panel discussion on How to take an Interview . Tech- nical speakers were provided from the local Electronics In- dustry in New England. Also the Society organized and put into operation the first Amateur Radio Station on the campus of L.T.I. The first station call letters used were W1AUL. The Society will be a chapter of the Institute of Radi o Engineers in two years. This will contribute to L.T.I, having another national organization on campus.

Those who have tried once to ski, know that once a skier, forever a skier. Those are bygone days, when skiing was a misunder- stood sport, a sport designed for dare-devils, and presenting the easiest way to break one ' s neck and both legs. Within the last few years, public opinion concerning this sport has changed, with many new skiers being added to the club rosters all over the country. Skiers have been educated to the benefits of the sport, teachers have been trained to help the novice, and ski schools have popped out like mushrooms. Chair-lifts have been built, hotels adapted to the demands of winter operation, and transportation facili- ties improved. Now, more people than ever can have the opportunity to indulge in what is probably one of the greatest thrills that can be obtained by a human being, the feeling of gliding practically effortlessly down an immense mountain- side covered with snow. In the past, the L.T.I. Rifle Club has attracted wide student interest. This year, the club has been given a range on campus by the school authorities, and it is hoped that having the range close at hand will induce more upper- classmen to join the Club. The new range was obtained with the help of the AFROTC detachment, and it is expected that some use will be made of the range this year, although it has not been possible to schedule matches due to the uncertain date of completion. The club has been reorganized, and next year we hope to have a full schedule of matches with other college AF- ROTC units, as well as civilian college teams. In the future, we expect to have an ROTC Team, open only to ROTC students, and a civilian team, open to any student, whether in ROTC or not, including foreign stu- dents. 1-42 Crowning the Queen Arnold Air Society OFFICERS Commander Frank V. Mann Adjutant John T. Finnegan The Arnold Air Society is a group of cadets selected from the Air Science III and IV classes who have as a common goal the desire to promote the mission of the Air Force. The Society is named after the late General H. Hap Arnold, former Air Force officer who did much to further the cause of air power. The first Arnold Air Society sauadron was organized at the University of Cincinnati in 1947. The squadron here at Lowell Tech is named after Major General James F. Phillips, a former commander of the Air Force Cambridge Research Center. The A. A. S. at Lowell withdrew from the national organization of the Arnold Air Society in order to be able to support more actively cadet functions. The present Arnold Air Society at Tech is undergoing a complete reorganization. All members will be selected by the incumbent members on an honorary basis. The organiza- tion shall be honorary and functional. Membership is limited by the society ' s constitution and its purposes and scope are clearly defined. The society sponsors as a highlight of Cadet social ac 1 tivities the Militarv Ball Weekend. In addition the society supports all ROTC functions such as Family Night, Awards Night, the annual blood drive, and the flying club. Off we go . . . 143 144 MILITARY BALL WEEK END December 8 and 9, 1957 145 ' Aten-hut! Tech Players OFFICERS President Raymond Dunn Vice-President Robert Stewart Treasurer William Santos Secretary Frances Delaney This year the Lowell Tech Players has continued to be one of the most popular and well supported organizations at the Institute, by supplementing the annual stage pro- duction with a few first semester functions. The most novel function of the Players was the radio plays which broke the ice, as it were, for the new members of the Players. Although the number of plays was limited, the members obtained much experience in the use of the microphone and other radio station equipment through the courtesy of W.L.T.I. Familiar to the upperclassmen but new to them as an activity of the Lowell Tech Players, the Film Group ap- peared once more to present four outstanding films: The Cruel Sea , Kind Hearts and Coronets , Harvey , and Seven Deadly Sins . The Players hope to continue to present such excellent films for enjoyment and entertain- ment. The annual Christmas party of the Players for the orphans was complete with Santa Claus, toys, candy, tonic, and games. The Players got as much fun, if not more, from watching the children play games and visit Santa, as the children who were participating. As in the past years the Players showed the true spirit of Christmas. First row — Kochanek, A.; Kmiec, P.; Delanev, F.; Dunn, R.; Mr. Higgins, Santos, W.; Vervaert, C; Dong, C.

This year ' s production, entitled Out of the Frying Pan , was a drawing room comedy that depicted the trials and tribulations of young actors and actresses. Robert Stewart ' s protrayal of Norman, Claire Vervaert ' s excellent dramatization of the naive Dottie, and the heart warming scens of the young married couple, Fran Delariey and Robert Grady, were magnified by the carefree landlady, Shirley Bilodeau; the nervous young girl, Betty Egerton; the food-loving producer, Roy Zucker- berg; the drink-mixing spiritualist, Gigi Long; and the susp icious father, Herb Cooper. To the already confused situation comes two very inquisitive cops, Ray Dunn and Tom Wiggins, who cause the happenings to become even more confused, yet comical. With the aid of the sinister butler, Larry Freedman, Norman has the police officers believing that some crime ring is none other but the young theatre group. The young group finally succeed in show- ing their presentation of the play to the producer.

The Greek letter fraternity is the outgrowth of man ' s natural desire to associate himself with men of similar ideas and ideals. This desire becomes more evident when we watch the boy with his playmates and the grown man with his social and business clubs. The Greek letter fraternity, in its highest expression, is not merely an eating or social club. It is an inner spirit, at once both idealistic and practical. It is a group of men each of whom contributes to the group and each other, all deriving mutual benefits from their associations. Its ap- plication requires ceaseless effort on the part of college men to enrich their way of life, and develop a finer sense of values. Its purposes are manifold. It assists the freshman in orientating himself to a new life on campus, encourages scholarship, and furnishes not only living quarters but a home away from home. It develops one ' s personality and promotes mutual understanding. It helps to crystallize habits, broadens outside interests and increases social poise. It provides business training and prepares the college graduate for his future as an American citizen.

Formulating policies Under the leadership of its President, Terry Polak, Phi Sigma Rho in ' 56- ' 57 made renovations in its consti- tution, and pledging schedule, and service projects were extended to benefit nearby hospitals. The girls laid the foundation for another enjoyable year at the annual gathering during Orientation Week of the sorority sisters and the freshman coeds. And the sophomores set to work planning many gay parties for the rushing season. The first of these was a wienie roast at Cinny ' s, where the cool, crisp autumn air gave everyone a hearty appetite for fun and food. Here the rushees first heard the sorority songs both gay and serious, and became aware of the sorority ' s interest in them. Early in November a formal tea was held at Claire ' s home with Terry and Fran D. as her assistants. The tea was a quiet and dignified affair, which brought to view the more refined side of the coeds to the rushees. 153 Have some potato chips Kidding around in the sorority room One of the gayest and most talked about party was a barn dance held in the Dean ' s barn. A caller kept all on their feet and cider was served to quench their thirsts. Toward the end of the rushing season, an informal dance was held at Fran D ' s home, where a large group participated in dancing and in attempting to solve many of Fran ' s riddles and games. The sorority is always called upon to contribute to the decorating for big weekends and this year colorful mobiles were made to add to the display. Service projects are a main activity of the sorority. One of these was making up festive nut cups to en- hance the trays of hospital patients Christmas Day. ■44% Pure Who cracked the joke? 154 Painting a poster for the weekend Hell Week followed the traditional pattern ana though the pledges survived, it is felt that they will never be the same again.

The year is not yet over and more happy times are looked forward to; the pajamas party, the eve of Up- stream Day, the sorority ' s twentieth birthday party, and, of course, the weekend with Professor Wells at Ocean Park, Maine.

A pleasant gathering Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity is a brotherhood rich in tradition dating back to 1898. In that year, it was formed at the Philadelphia Textile Institute. Four years later the Beta Chapter was organized at what was then the Lowell Textile School and was the first fra- ternity on the campus. In the year 1905 the Beta Chapter was in- corporated into the National Organization. There are at present active chapters of Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity located at North Carolina State, Georgia Institute of Technology, New Bedford Textile and Technological Institute, and Philadelphia Textile Insti- tute. D. K. is a professional fraternity, with members chosen as men of character on their merits, regardless of nationality of religion. Its foremost objective shall be in the future, as it has been in the past, to be faithful to its Greek letters, which stand for Duty, Know- ledge, and Friendship. Looking back at the past year there seems to be much to remi- nisce about. The Fraternity Formal was held at the Laton House in May, and all the Dekes put their best foot forward. In accord- ance with tradition the following Brothers announced their engage- ments or approaching weddings: Louis Goldberg, Edward Landy, Vincent Kulickowski, and John Lynch. Even though everyone had a wonderful time, there was a twinge of sorrow for the approaching departure of our p iduating Brothers. Summer arrived, and most of the Dekes went their separate ways along the points of the compass. However, four Dekes re- mained at the house throughout the summer, attending summer school and working. Weekend parties and cookouts were in order of the day, as well as home cooking with an international flavor. On the verv hot days, it was no uncommon sight for the neighbors to see the Dekes cooling each other off with the garden hose. As the new school year arrived, so did the Dekes. The first spectacular event was the Interfraternity Council Week End. During the week end the children of a local orphanage were the guests of the Dekes at a nearby turkey farm. Following the dinner they saw the L.T.I, soccer team captained by Jim Lowell in action against New Bedford Textile and Technological Institute. Incidentally, at the conclusion of the soccer season another Deke, George Oberman, was elected as cantain of next vear ' s team. 157 .,.:.■ ' .ta Bf - •k i fl W 1 . H  m S 1 ■ Buenos nochas, muchacho Smile for the birdi Tea tor four and four for tea In November, a regional meeting of Delta Kappa Phi Fraterni- ty was held at the M.I.T. Faculty Club in Cambridge. Hhe high- light of this meeting was the initiation of Mr. Herbert S. Lamphrey, cashier at the Union National Bank of Lowell, Dr. Edward R. Schwartz, Director of Textile Technology at M.I.T., and Mr. Ed- mund Rigby, vice-president of Berkshire-Hathaway, into the Fra- ternity. Mr. Herbert S. Lamphrey, who has untireingly aided the Fraternity in many business matters in the past, became an honor- ary member of Beta Chapter. The guest speaker of the evening was Dr. Walter J. Hamburger, director of Fabrics Research Laboratories in Dedham, Massachusetts. During the first semester the rushing committee sponsored several stags and date parties highlighted by the traditional YAHMO party, at which the Dekes elected one of their female guests as Yahmo of the Year . Admittance to this party was by costume only, and prizes were given to the two couples with the best and most original costumes. The judges had a tough time deciding the winners, but when they finally reached a decision, first prize went to Lee Caron and his date, and second prize to Bill Colby and his date. To climax the first semester, Vincent Kulickowski was appoint- ed the Cadet Colonel of the Corps here at L.T.I., and Ted Brother and Edward Brennan were appointed Lieutenants, at the A.F. R.O.T.C. Family Night. Following the first semester exams the Dekes greeted the pledge class for this year which consisted of Wayne Bantle, Willard Colby, John Hall, Jose Irurita, Daniel Jacavanco, Garth Lax, Michel Mou- tal, Nicholas Pappas, Douglas Potts, James Quinn, Ronald Raposa, John Riley, Lock Spain, and William Williams. The work that these pledges did at the house voluntarily before and during hell week was remarkable. We now have a ladies powder room with .a unique international travelog adorning the upper walls which was painted by Fred Kennedy and Frank Clark. The kitchen was remodeled, floors were washed and waxed, and painting was a popular pastime. Sarge Lowell and Uncle Roysie provided the entertainment for the pledges during hell week going all out to make it a memorable week and never once was there a dull moment. e n George vJ9 : w. i . «HL K ' si m jBl . jflH 158 Whatch it Don, it ' s loaded. My hero By the time the All-Tech Week End arrived the house was sparkling. A new fraternity sign greeted the party goers as they filed into the house Saturday and Sunday mornings, and everybody had a gay time. This week end the house was truly fit for a queen, and that is just what it received Saturday evening for Walt Dawson ' s date was chosen Queen of the All-Tech Week End. Now as we near the end of the year and await the fraternity formal, final exams, and commencement exercises we think about the seniors who won ' t be around D.K. next fall, but who will always be remembered for various things. Never to be forgotten by the pledge class of 1955, as the master short circuiter , is Ruben Abadi who is the treasurer of his graduating class. Don Branchaud and Bob Carrier will be remembered for their superb bowling records. Carmen Genzabella will not be forgotten for his prowess in sports which made him a key man in all inter fraternity sports. Louis Goldberg will be remembered for his outstanding sports. Louis Goldberg will be remembered for his outstanding work as Consul this past year, and as a past president of Hillel. Vincent Kulickowski will be remembered for his military achievements especially his promotion to Cadet Colonel of the A.F.R.O.T.C. at L.T.I. Allen Gwinnell will be remembered for his work as alumni chairman and Scribe, and Jay Litt for his Burgess Street cocktails O part lime, 2 parts orange and 7 parts ). It will be some years before someone takes the title of The Most Job Offers away from George Cherry, and some time before John Di Profio is forgotten as hiving been consul of D.K. and Chairman of the Interfraternity Council. Philp Swain will be remembered for marrying the 1954 Interfraternity Week End Queen and for his work in the fraternity while an officer and an I.F.C. representative. Last but certainly not least is Nickolas Skames better known as Q who will never be forgotten by the Dekes and the members of the Electronic Engineering Society, for which he was the chief money holder, better known as the treasurer of these organizations. This year has been one of most pleasant memories as have those of the past, and we hope to continue along these lines, proud of our past, confident of our future, both for the college and the fraternity, and happy that Delta Kappa Phi has had a part in trans- forming boys into men, and has promoted a spirit of fraternalism which will live as long as we live.

Omicron Pi Fraternity, the local fraternity on the Lowell Tech campus, was founded in 1902 and has provided a sound basis for the development of character and brotherhood in its members for fifty-five long years. O Pi is a society of men of common ideals and interests, benefiting by the experience of living in brotherhood and establishing life-long friendships. Monte Carlo Party 161 Two is company, four is a crowd Now another June has rolled around, and another group of O Pi men receive their degrees and enter the cruel industrial world. But the time spent O Pi will never he forgotten. The list of events and occasions is a long one, most of which are pleasant to recall. But a few will require time to cure, such as social probation, the first Hell Week when on the receiving end, the cold oil-less nights, the visits by the men of blue, the big head after the big night, the quick no-more-hot-water showers, the suspended drivers license, the empty gas This is our symbol A little chit chat Knights of the round table 162 The Artist ' s Ball tank, the five year program, the leaky Buick convertible top, and the radios that would not work. One sore spot is the forced development of becoming a good loser be- cause of practising the role all together too often in athletics. But the final score is no reflection of the en- joyment and benefit of working as a team. And, oh, the many pleasant moments to remember: dishing out Hell Week, performing on the I.F.C. stage, harmonizing with the choral group, trying to harmon- izing at the rushing stags, killing time at work parties, wasting Sunday afternoons in ' discussions ' , breaking the Monte Carlo bank, finding just the right lab report on file, Dave ' s dinners, Plum Island, Senior Stags, (while they lasted), the many parties, and the big week-ends. Then there were the fraternity week-ends, which closed each year ' s activities in grand style. So with these memories, the O Pi grads leave 31 Waverly Ave. and join their brothers in industry.

In 1904 Gamma Chapter of Phi Psi 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 chapters. Prior to the opening of the fall session, many of the brothers returned to repair and renovate their rooms for the ensuing year. At this time it was learned that approximately 18 members would be able to live in the house this year. This meant additional financial aid to the house and a chance for a closer bond between the members. Our social chairmen for this year were Dick Savage and Al Killeen, and the opening event of the social season was the annual Welcome Back Party. During the rushing season Phi Psi held two stag parties which were very well attended. In each instance, the walls of the house at 406 Pawtucket Street literally vibrated with the songs and good cheer of the fresh- men and the. members. In addition to the stag parties, a Shipwreck Party was held and this affair stimulated a sociable atmosphere between the members and pro- spective pledges. The three musketeers and dates 165 A late evening pizza snack If it were only real Peek-a-boo One of the most memorable affairs of the season was the I.F.C. weekend, which provides an excellent opportunity for the fraternities to get together and enjoy one of the major phases of college life. To help make this affair an overwhelming success many Phi Psi men relinquished their time to form a choral group and to make preparations for the affair. Phi Psi was awarded the trophy for the best Choral Group, which was directed by Ed Doyle. The annual Christmas Party for the children from a local Orphanage was held on Wednesday, De- cember 19. The members supplied the gifts which were distributed to the children by our. own Santa . Re- freshments were served by the wives of some of the members, and movies in the spirit of Christmas were shown. Bill King, chairman of the affair, did an excel- lent job of providing the orphans with such a joyous occasion. Daddy Bill, Frank and dates at formal 166 We ' ll have to get a larger fireplace soon You see, it ' s this wav The cream of the crop was admitted again to Phi Psi during Hell Week which was held in March. During this week under stern supervision of the mem- bers, the inside of the house was given a complete over- hauling. The bowling team again copped the I.F.C. title this year taking it with a record that showed the Joss of only one point during the entire season. Our basket- ball team has copped the title for the past two seasons and is well on its way to another crown this year, and the Softball team anticipates a successful season this year. This season has proved ' to be one of the most successful and eventful years that Phi Psi has enjoyed. Those of us who leave L.T.I, in June will take with us the memories of one of the most happy years we have spent here. -- - A pleasant Family reunion Santa, may I have 167 Pi Lambda Phi Rex H.

It has been 37 years since Pi Lambda Phi, original- ly Sigma Omega Psi, was established on the Lowell Campus. During these years, the brothers were confront- ed with many problems but due to great perseverance and effort on their part they managed to emerge un- scathed, growing together with all phases of school ac- tivity. Pi Lambda Phi appeared on the Lowell Tech Campus in 1949 as the Massachusetts Alpha Epsilon Chapter of the Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity. Today, it ranks quite high in the national chapter roll as well as being the only national social organization on campus. Under the leadership of Rex Ken Cohen, work on the house took a prominent place in the activity schedule for the year. The House on the Hill underwent a face- lifting operation by being shingled and painted while the interior of the house also was given a thorough going over. The social season was a great success. As always, the Induction Formal was the highlight of the season with the new brothers being welcomed into the fraterni- ty while the seniors bade their good-byes. The other three weekends also turned out to be great successes, especially the All Tech Weekend when we all danced to the strains of Les Elgart ' s band. Welcome strangers 169 r « w nffi jraH Pledge Class skit Alpha Epigrams being distributed In the realm of athletics, our hopes of recovering the basketball crown were defeated when we lost to Phi Psi in a truly exciting game. At this date, we do not as yet know what will be the results of the Softball sea- son, but we hope for the best. The end of Hell Week saw Pi Lam usher in 10 new brothers whose accomplishments during pledging and afterward cannot be fully realized as yet. Pledging saw a great job done by Brother Bill Spielman to whom a vote of thanks for a job well done is now given. An event which has never failed to bring good cheer to the underprivileged was the annual Christmas Party held for the children of the Franco-American Orphanage. To behold the faces of the children when Santa Claus appeared and when they received their presents, watched cartoons and ate ice cream would have made anyone feel that even if the Fraternity did noth- ing else, it would be great to be a Pi Lam. The bovs Long may she wave and when the saints 170 Faculty — Fraternity Buffet Supper Something new was added this year. Under Rex Ken ' s leadership, an attempt was made to promote better faculty-student relations by issuing invitations for sup- per followed by informal gatherings afterward. These attempts have succeeded in cementing lasting friendships and companionships between the faculty and students. Pi Lambda Phi has placed many leaders in various activities. The Editor-in-Chief of the Pickout, editor of the Text, one co-captain of the basketball team, captain of the lacrosse team and various starters on the basket- ball team are all members of Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity. The Fraternity has continued to move forward; the current group shows every indication of upholding the fine traditions of the past and is moving steadily ahead in the future. Pi Lam looks to another successful year, with many memories, and new friendships, which could only be gained through the existence of a fraternal atmos- phere such as one may find among the members of Pi Lambda Phi.

' ' 172 The spectators One Ed to another In Interfraternity Council is the governing, coordinating, and regulating body of all fraternities on the Lowell Tech campus. This year, the Interfraternity Council has acquired the acceptance of their constitution by the authorities here at the institute. This acceptance completes a long line of hard work done by previous mem- bers of the IFC. Also, the topic of sophomore pledging will be settled by the time September, 1957 comes along. It has, of course, continued its activities in the field of interfraternity competition and the like. The IFC weekend, again, proved to all that fraternity participation in school events is a necessity for the success of the event. It also established, for the second year, a tradition on this campus which will certainly be carried out in future years. It is the fervent hope of this year ' s IFC that future members of thi s body will continue to throw off the shackles of traditjon, and move ahead as it has this year, to improve the lot of the student body in general, and the fraternity men in particular.

I. has progressed tremendously in the last de- cade in the field of sports by having a greater number of men participating-more than ever before. The Athletic As- sociation is once more in the black after seeing a few bad seasons in the past. The Association is planning to build a set of tennis courts on the Athletic Field in the near future. A Field House is also being planned in becoming a part of the Lowell Tech Campus in the next few years. Students are trying out for Soccer, Basketball, Base- ball, Tennis, Golf, and LaCross and bettering each indi- vidual team. Lowell Tech has had good seasons in each sport in the last few years. Interfraternity Athletics are better than they have been in many years. More fraternity men are playing Softball and Basketball than some people thought imaginable. Attendance at all games has gone up in the last deca de and is still going higher. Why is there a sudden change of attitude in the students at Tech concerning athletics? The class hours are still the same as they were before, if there has not been more added. The courses at school are getting more diffi- cult, but there are still more athletics than before. The answer to the question is the fact that the students at Lowell Tech have at last realized the importance of athletics in the ciriculum, of a college student. A man can not go to school for four years and do nothing but study. Athletics is part of education. It not only builds up the body physically, but also mentally. Good sportsmanship is learned when participating in athletics. If the attitude of the student keeps progressing in tne future, one can very easily see Lowell Tech becoming known throughout the. northeast not only as one of the best En- gineering Schools, but also because of its record in the field of sports. o R - J6 ?- Lose something boys? Soccer is the most cosmopolitan game of all football games, and has established itself en every continent on earth. In the United States soccer is largely supported by sport enthusiasts. Whatever chance soccer had to become a major game in the U. S. was lost when professional American football became established. Although soccer is a minor sport in most colleges, at L.T.I, it is considered a major sport. We shall begin by giving a brief resume of L.T.I, soccer team performances during the 1956 season. The record was 3-2-2; victories were scor- ed over Cury College, Clark University and New Bedford Textile Institute, our team tied with Worcester Polytech and Boston University, team losses were against Bridgeport and Brad- ford Durfee. This record, even though is not as impressive as others obtained by our team, shows clearh the fine performance that the boys gave this season. Among the top scorers of this season we have George Obermann with 13 goals, Ricardo Villa with 5, Manolo Iruita with 4, Abraham Okorodu- du 2, Petiso, Ceppas, and Epstein with one each. George Obermann was without doubt ex- tremely effective in the lineup, scoring most of the goals of our team, his behaviour on the soccer field as well as that of Ricardo Villa is said to be unreproachable, the ability of both of these two boys to push the team towards victory deserves all the recognition and merit that could possibly be given. Spanish born, Manolo Iruita always played with the courage and drive proper of all Spanish teams, Abraham Okorodudu played and outstanding game in the left wing even though First Row: Villa, R.; Hirmas, B.; Corn, I.; Epstein, S.

Among the newcomers we shall call your atten- tion to Manolo Iruita, mentioned before, Mi- chael Moutal who was so enthusiastic that he fell on the ground many times before even get- ting the ball, Maury Ruben, gave a very good performance at the right back position playing every game, Wally and Isac, both played in the forward line acquiring experience for the com- ing seasons, Isac who showed a very good ball handling experience for the coming seasons, Isac who showed a very good ball handling ability lost a few hundred pounds during the games and practice scrimmages. Bill Colby, Anderson and Jose Berlawsky played very well at their full back positions permitting our opponents very few chances to score (12 goals in 7 games) this proves their effectiveness in defending Jim- my ' s goal. 1956 SOCCER SCHEDULE L.I.T.

Under the competent helm of Coach Dave Morey, the Tech cagers compiled an enviable 12-4 record for the hoop season. To Coach Morey, our warmest and most sincere congratu- lations are extended. Nearing the end of his long and devoted career of coaching, a more de- serving gift could never have been given to him by his ball players. Looking back at the highlights of the 1956- ' 57 campaign, there are many incidents which stand out as being worthy of mention. However, the superlative performance put on by Carl Brune on the night of January 10 in the Tech gym against New Britain State Teachers College undoubtedly .nust take precedent over all others. On that evening, amidst, the thundering ovation of the local partisans, Brune broke the all time Lowell Tech scoring record as he scored 40 points. The previous record of 38 points was held by Lou Athanis, who incidentally was one of the referees of that ball game. The Moreymen started the season right off with a bang as they won their first four games. In the opener, before a near capacity home crowd, the Terriers downed Nasson College by a score of 87-64, with the help of Dick Silver ' s 19 points. After their opening win, the Tech quintet set back Curry College by a score of 78-54. The Terriers went out front at the outset and were never caught. Chris Chingros and Carl Brune led the team in scoring with 23 points each. In the following two encounters, Lowell easily defeated New Bradford Textile 70-53 and Merrimack College by a score of 77-47. At Cam- bridge, in their next game, a strong MIT quintet handed the Moreymen their first setback of the season. Cleverly boxing out Brune for the ma- ond defeat of the season, this time by a score of 93-70, the Moreymen dropped their third game of the season as they were defeated by Suffolk University 103-78. Brune, playing with four fouls on him for most of the game, scored just 10 points. Chingros with 22 points and Hannon with 17 points led Lowell in scoring. Probably the most exciting game of the season took place at Bradford Durfee on the night of February 16 as the Weavers squeezed out a 91-90 victory over Bradford Durfee Tech. With only seconds remaining in the game, and trailing 90-89, Brune tapped in a missed foul shot to give Lowell a climatic 91-90 win at the final buzzer. Brune was the big gun again as he scored 31 points, followed by Chingros with 20 points. The next game, played in the Lowell gym, was another tight affair. Rick Silver, the team ' s co-captain, displaying his terrific jump shot to jority of the game, MIT with control of both boards came out on top of a 69-52 score. The ever increasing spirit of the Lowell Tech fans was evident, as some 300 students made the trip from Lowell to cheer on their ball club. Brune again led the team in scoring with 21 points. After whipping Worcester Poly Tech 78-70 and New England College 54-46, the Weavers were sporting a fine 6-1 record as they prepared to meet the high scoring New Britain five. It was indeed unfortunate for the Tech cagers that New Britain hit with such uncanny accuracy from the floor that night, as they racked up 119 points. With Brune ' s record breaking perform- ance, and with Silver, Hannon, and Chingros scoring in double figures, the Weavers could have beaten most any team that night. How- ever, it was not enough to set back New Britain as the final score read 119-100. After handing Merrimack College their sec- First Row: Coach D.

In this 87-81 win, Brune with 31 points and Silver with 24 points led the team in scoring. Following a comparatively easy 86-69 victory over Babson College on February 20, the Weav- ers started on their annual New York trip, hav- ing compiled a 10-3 record up to that time. Their first game, against Hillyer College in Connecticut, was easily won 77-56. Brune again led the scorers with 28 points, followed by Han- non with 24 points. The next game on the trip pitted the Lowell five against Long Island University at Brooklyn, N. Y. Trailing throughout most of the game, the Techmen, with a late surge won going away by a score of 69-60. Chingros led the team scor- ing with 19 points followed by Hannon with 16, and Brune with 15 points. The last game of the trip and of the season was against the Terriers ' arch rival, Philadelphia Textile Institute. As far as Lowell was concern- ed, if they were to win, the high scoring Chuck Barnes of PTI had to be stopped. Barnes, a junior, was at that time the third top scorer in the country for small colleges with a 27.0 point average per game. For the first half the Moreymen did a splendid job holding him to just two field goals and four fouls. However, in the second half he ran amuck as he scored 23 points, thus leading PTI to a 69-61 win. As far as the statistics are concerned, Brune led the team in scoring. At the conclusion of the season he ranked seventeenth nationally for small colleges with a 23.4 point average per game. Second to Brune in scoring was Chris Chingros with a 17.6 point average, followed by Dave Hannon with a 12.i point average and Dick Silver who had a 9.1 point average per game.

Prospects for the season were dimmed when Elaine Garside was injured in the T.O.C. field day game, which the upper class girls won by a score of 37-17. Then the two teams joined forces to beat Brandeis 25-23, in an exciting overtime game. Our thanks go to Ann Kockanek for her sparkling outside shot. The season was off to a good start and we felt we had a feather in our cap since Brandeis has such a large enrollment of co-eds. Next came wins over Rivier, Merrimack, and losses to Mt. St. Mary ' s. We were disappointed to lose the last game of the season to them by 4 points. After the game, our cap- tain, Fran Delaney, and manager Terry Polak, took the tra- ditional dunking. All the girls turned in fine performances. Ann Koch- anek broke the girls ' scoring record on our home court by hitting for 29 points against Merrimack College. Fran De- laney and Georgia Dadoly consistently scored and set up many great plays. These three forwards, veterans of two years, playing together are a fast moving, smooth combina- tion. We will be sorry to break up the combine when Fran graduates this year. Phyllis Healey, a freshman, shows great promise of taking over tl e place left by Fran. It is impossible to win a game without the constant defense work of the guards. Gigi Long, Sheila Brady, Toby Koffman, Rita McGurn, and Shirley Filodeau kept the scores of the opponents down and hit them when necessary. We wish to thank the Athletic Association and the Varsity Club for the support given to us during the season. We hope to continue winning our games. Maybe next year we ' ll beat Mt. St. Marv ' s.

The Terrier ' s ' 56 edition of the baseball team blew hot and cold during the spring training period. With a large group of returning letter- men, bolstered by a group of promising fresh- man, the teams prospects looked far better than they have in the past few years. However, Coach Rusty Yarnall ' s practices were seriously curtailed by the unseasonal weather which alter- nately whipped icy winds and dumped snow across the athletic field. The returning lettermen composed a good starting line-up without the promised help of the new recruits. Captain Buddy Walsh, 3-year first-string catcher, veteran outfielders Fred Crowe, Bud Horsman and Bob Farrow and in- fielders Art Dellerson and Joe Dixon formed the nucleus of the ball club. Returning letter- men Ernie Glantz, Bill Schnell, John Finnegan, Bruce Sharp and Al Helin formed the strong nucleus of the pitching staff. Ernie Glantz, who had pitched the Terriers to their opening day victories for the past two seasons was given the nod by Coach Yarnall for the ' 57 send-off against Suffolk University. In a 3 ' 2 hour game charitably cut to IVi. innings by rain, darkness and 23 walks, the Terriers came out on top of a 16-10 score. Starter Glantz tired after 2 1 3 innings and was relieved by lanky Bill Schnell who got the win. The game was tight for the first six innings, with Suffolk out in front 4-3. A rash of walks, errors, and three hits, including sophomore Lyman Pevey ' s double broke the game wide open as 14 Tech swingers went to bat to push in 10 runs. Three more walks, two more errors and only one hit added three more unnecessary counters to the Terrier ' s total in the seventh. 196 First raw — Stevens, R.; Dellerson, A.; Stevens, W.; Laliberte, G.; Pevey, L.; Horsman, H.; Walsh, W.; Finnegan, J. Second row — Dow, R.; Helin, A.; Dixon, J.; Freeman, J.; Canova, R.; Cunha, G.; Farrow, R.; Vaughn, J.; Coach Yarnall. Third row — Crowe, F.; MacAdams, J.; Brune, C.j Glantz, E.; Sharp, B.; Frulla, G. Tech traveled to Worcester to face Clark in their second encounter of the season on April 13. A four-run rally in the ninth fell short of its goal as Clark outlasted the Terriers in an 8-7 game. Clark jumped to an early lead in the first inning, added 2 in the fourth and a single in the sixth for the win. The Techmen picked up two in the second and one in the third and did not score again until the 4-run ninth inning rally. Walks and errors hurt the Tech cause for starter Al Helin, who stayed 7 innings to pick up the loss in the biting cold. Fred Crowe and Bill Stevens led the Tech assault with two hits each. Tech picked up its second win in three out- ings by defeating a highly-touted MIT line in the ninth inning of a 7-6 game. First Baseman Lyman Pevey ' s sharp single to right, which rolled past the fielder, sent second baseman Billy Stevens racing home from first with the win. Credit for the victory went to reliefer Bill Schnell, who made only two pitches to retire the batter in a tense ninth-inning, bases-loaded, two-out situation. Catcher Bill Walsh made a fine running catch to haul in the high pop-up which sent him deep behind home plate. John Finnegan, starting pitcher, who gave himself a good working margin in the sixth when he belted a two-run single to center and came all the way around to score on an error, would have gone the route in his first appearance of the season, but for an error in the ninth.

Unfortunately, this pre-season was soon to be expunged as four starters were hit with untimely injuries prior to the opening of the season. Lowell ' s first game was at home against Nichols Junior College. Trailing 7-3 at the half, the Terriers got right back into the game as they closed the gap to an 8-7 score at the end of the third period. Taking ad- vantage of Tech ' s riddled defense, the visitors scored 5 goals in the last quarter to win the game 13-7. Miller and Schlueter led the team in scoring with 2 goals each. After being crushed by Brown University 15-1, and Holy Cross 16-2, the Terriers prob- ably played their best game of the season against New England College at Lowell on May 15, although they came out on the short end of an 11-5 score. The Techmen played fine ball both on offense and defense for three quarters as they trailed 7-5. Again, as in their first game, the Terriers were shut out in the last quarter while New England went on to score 4 goals, thus winning the contest by an 11-5 score. Miller, with 3 goals and 2 assists and Branchaud with 2 goals exceled for Lowell. With one more game remaining on the schedule against New Hampshire University freshman, the Lowell Tech record up to date is as follows: 198 First row — Hooke, R.; Cooper, H.; Branchaud, D.; Morin, R.; Bros nan, J. Rowntree, C; Dunican, B. Second row — Lowell, J.; Kriegel, R.; Miller, L.; Demars, P.; Figiel, J.; Friedrich, J.; Forsch, A.; Fagan, C; Savarese, G.; Zaritsk} ' , S.; Gindorff, B. Tennis This year, the Lowell Tech tennis team which was off to a slow start, appears to be finding itself. Loosing only one man from last years squad, the team is a good, all- around, well balanced group. In the num- ber one spot is Deepak Banker, a veteran with one year of experience. In the num- ber two spot is Roger Boisjoly and the number three spot is filled by veteran Roy Zuckerberg. The fourth spot found a fresh- man, Richard Ved, who shows a great deal of promise for future years. The five and six positions are filled by Jim Copley and Mort Schneider respectively. To date, the team has lost four matches and has won the last two. The souad has four more matches to play and from all indications all four of these matches seem to be pos- sible victories. Another new addition to the squad this year is Coach Steve Bodor, replacing Prof. John McLaughlin. He has been doing a fine job and with all but one of this years lettermen returning, the future is bright. Depak returns the ball. TENNIS TEAM RECORD L.T.I.

PRODUCT OF EXPERIENCE You found it true during your years of training at Lowell Technological Insti- tute. You ' ll find it even more evident as you progress in your career in the textile field. Progress . . . achievement . . . grow in proportion to your experience, your con- tinuous opportunity to apply your knowledge and talents to everyday doing! 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 century of Geigy research in the textile field. As your own career progresses, you will find it helpful to rely on names like Geigy . . . names which represent progress through experience!

Westaway, Montreal, Quebec; Hamilton, Ont. Gessner Improved Cloth Finish- ing Machines maintain a stand- ard of performance to meet the ixact 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. . FREDERICK KROKYN AMBROSE A.
