73 3 £ To Lester H. Cushing We dedicate the 1960 Pickout Lester H. Cushing was born in Rockland, Massachusetts on September 21, 1889. He graduated from Rockland High School in 1907 where he played left field and later was switched to shortstop. Upon his graduation from Rockland High he was accepted at Harvard University on a two-year scholarship and majored in history and economics. In 1911, he graduated from Harvard with an A. B. degree, cum laude. In 1926 he furthered his education at Harvard by obtaining his master ' s degree in physical ed- ucation (Ed.M.). In his junior and senior years at Harvard he played varsity soccer and received a letter in this sport. He also took part in intramural sports, football, basketball, and baseball. He was interviewed by Charles Eames, head of LTI, in August of 1911. As a result of this visit. Coach Cushing became a part of the faculty. He is now professor in charge of physical education, and has served three terms as Chairman of the faculty. Since 1919 he has been athletic director and is probably known to more alumni than any other faculty member. He is retiring at the end of this school year. For these many years of unselfish devotion to Lowell Tech and her students — we thank you. PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE In the weeks immediately preceding a college Commencement and during all attendant activities, graduates are often reminded of the world of tomorrow which they will inherit. Preparations are begun, commitments fulfilled, Dis- pite a busy schedule, the class as individauls and as a whole seeks to reserve time for taking stock, for surveying past events and for contemplating the horizons of the future. So it is with college. Periods of tremendous growth take place when ambitious plans are brought to fruition; development and expansion proceed apace to a point where ideas are captured in concrete. Then, before continuing on its upward path, the college pauses to evaluate its accomplishments and define anew its goals. As with the college, so with its students. In your own time, you of the Class of 1960 have become adult with the completion of a dramatic decade, one in which earth has explored space. In ushering in this challenging age which con- fronts us, dynamic explosions of knowledge have taken place. You have built on a solid base of education and now may accept the congratulations of family and friends upon your achievement. That you have completed well your instructional period is shown by your presence in this graduating class. But graduation must truly be a commencement, not a conclusion. Dedication must be the key to the character of each intelli- gent adult — dedication to the task at hand, be it personal or professional, and to the necessary ideals which must inform every life. In particular, the citizen trained for democrary has the dual obligation of study and service, for only through continuing education and through selflessness, the giving of self to the last ounce of strength in furthering de- cent goals, can we make this country a better place in which to live and a stronger nation more likely to survive. To you and your loved ones, your parents, wives, families and friends, my sincere congratulations upon your aca- demic attainments and my best wishes for every future success. vIAmaZu . d tsJt - - LOWELL TECHNOLOGICAL INSTITUTE PICKOUT EDITORIAL BOARD 1960 EXECUTIVE BOARD JOANNE INGLIS NANCY TURCOTTE STANLEY ZARITSKY RAVINDRA VED CHARLES SULLIVAN 73133 ROBERT MORRISETTE ADMINISTRATION AND FACULTY vC d t ° c ■ ' ■■■■■•■ ' mm mm m ADMINISTRATION Dean of Students RICHARD W.

Soon we ' ll be donning cap and gown, to make the most significant walk in our career, the walk to the rostrum for presentation, of degrees. As we climb the steps, our minds return to a day four years ago, when we climbed another set of stairs, those of Cumnock Hall . . . Clad in our best, with only our innocence showing, we were ushered into the auditorium that fine September day in 1956. When seated, a jovial looking man, soon to be known as the Lean Dean, told us an amusing tale about a train that left Lowell, and a sad, but what we later found to be true, tale about our friends in the chairs next to us. He said that only half of us would ever graduate from Lowell Tech. It was to be like a giant bowling match, with the students as pins. After being outfitted with a caste mark, the red beanie, a blue uniform, and a little manual, which we were to know verbatim, we stormed a small room where people were stacking books upon books in our already overburdened arms. We were given pencils, which weren ' t even sharpened (Oh, to be back in secondary school), and a little stick that the middle kept slipping out of. But we survived, just long enough to drop everything in our rooms and run to the Frosh smoker, where many of us turned green on corncob pipes and rum-soaked cigars. Two weeks later we were very much impressed with our chosen Alma Mater, when with college presidents and ranking professors we witnessed the ceremony where John Kennedy received an honorary degree, and Christian Herter, then governor of Massachusetts promised us a new building. The Social season began with a Frosh mixer where we were exposed to a group of females, who many of us got to know better, much better, from up the river. The Film Classic Group presented an excellent program of art flics. . . . organizations soon were seeking our support . . . and fraternities vied for our fabulous personalities. Before we knew it, Christmas was here and we were sent home to Mother ' s cooking, and to two glorious weeks of rest. Many of us made the rounds of parties, and always wound up defending the virtues of a small technical college vs. a large rah, rah school. Others, the more wise, took ad- vantage of all this free time by boning up for the coming exams. On returning, we became acquainted with books, mid- night study sessions, and black coffee. Our first finals, an experience never to be forgotten. We learned about a new and different practice this semester, that of the dual Dean ' s lists. The one for publication, and the one that was printed on black paper and given a place of prominence in the office. Second semester we returned with even more resolutions and determintion to hit the books, but our scholastic quest was interrupted by such pleasant occasions as ALL Tech Weekend, featuring Les Elgart . . . fraternity hell week . . . the Tech players show, Out of the Frying Pan . . . and Up- stream Day, where men were separated from boys.

' ■ ■ ■ ■ «WHP5 l5p n 4 SBSMWB iMTOtfly- 71 We cheered our basketball team on to compile an im- pressive record, with the scoring of Carl Brune and the apt coaching of Dave Morey who was concluding his career at Tech. This ear. we also gained industrial prestige when the A.S.T.E. became affiliated with the national organization, and the Society of Plastic Engineers granted Lowell Tech the first student charter. Once more we stepped into finals, but this time as sea- soned veterans readv for an thing. Finally after a seemingly long summer, the time had come. At last we were seniors, a position to be coveted. We felt the looks of admiration from an unknown species called freshmen, and basked in the glory of it. Radical changes had taken place during the summer siesta. The Dean of Facult) was replaced by our former Ihcrmo man Dr. Melvin Mark, and a proclimation that fra- ternities must go dry had been decided upon. Much grum- bling accompanied the last innovation, but we as mature in- dividuals had learned to accept the small disappointments in life, or so we told ourselves. Our contacts this ear. reached to a man who would pla) a very important part in our futures. The Director of Placement. He told us about the class sheepherders, the salesmen, and the rare researchers, who would go on to greater scientific greatness. A prophesy onl) to be proved b time. The -ar was full of activity. All Tech Weekend. fra- ternit) parties, interviews, xams, plans for marriage, class- i!S, and the one hundred and one other events which now - ' ■ nod routine, but are a vital part of college. A- we pause, on this commencement day. we recall both the happ) and the ' •ail. llu- fruitful and the disastrous, but both psychology and philosophy tell us that onl) the pleasant memories are retained when we return ... In Retrospect. 74 Summer came and went all too quickly, but we returned tanned and rested, ready to meet the challenge of Sophomore year. When registering, we looked for our friend who was with us last year, and were very much saddened when he was found to be among the missing. There was a change in attitude this year. No longer were we the much impressed freshmen, but now we assumed that air that can only result from a year at constant battle. Our class was the mentor that dictated to the frosh. and man) of us made them walk the plank, only to suffer a pride crushing dip in the carefully constructed pit. Again our minds turned most reluctantly to studies. We found Dr. Scattergood ' s Organic test perplexing, Prof. Block still talking about facets, and Mechanisims fine for a Sc. D. in Mechanical Engineering. A new concept also intrigued us. that of the forty hour day. A problem first struggled with, but latter conquered through much ingenious con- niving. Socially, we enjoyed I.F.C. weekend, dancing to Buddy Morrow at ALL Tech. outdoing any previous con- sumption at Upstream day. and gathering with the boys to solve the problems of the world at one of the local establish- ments. An atom bomb attack? Marine foxhole practice? These were the reactions to a giant depression in the earth next to Cumnock Hall, on returning for our Junior year. Nothing quite so drastic, just the beginning of construction on the Plastics and Electronics building. Again I looked for one of my friends from freshman year, and again found another man lost. A Prophesy come true. The bowlers had made two direct hits. I pra)ed that my turn was never. This pray was changed to a desperate plea, when P. Chem with the knowledgeable Dr. Kuffner. Electric Circuits with our sail- ing professor. Horton Brown and many other courses crossed our paths. Somehow we made it. just a little worse from late nights and long lab reports. 79 80 81 82 CLASSES JUNIOR CLASS CLASS OFFICERS President David Prout Vice-President Thomas Daly Secretary Thomas Marcella Treasurer Aline Fournier JUNIOR CLASS First Row: Daly, T. ; Fournier, A.; Prout, D. Second Row: Parkinson, R ■ Marcella, T. This year would be different! We would study dur- ing the summer. We would be ready to tackle any Junior course that faced us in September. Yet, somehow, the summer went too fast. There were too many things to do. We couldn ' t resist the oppor- tunity to go water skiing, camping, skin diving, moun- tain climbing, and even parachute jumping. We didn ' t have any time for studying. Suddenly it was September and we were Juniors. Our books had been idle all summer, but before we realized it, we were back in the routine of life at Lowell Tech. The campus was the same, except for the long flowing beards of some of our more progressive class- mates, and the almost completed new engineering build- ing. The Freshmen were trying to grin and bear it, while tired pledges ground their way through Hell Week. Then the parties began, the beanies disappeared, and the pledges became fraternity men. Everyone had their spirits lifted during IFC weekend, but then the bad news came. The nineteen twenties were back again. Prohibi- tion had arrived. Christmas vacation came and some of us were still having trouble with page one of our textbooks. With finals coming up in a few weeks, we really dug into the books. Most of us finally solved the mystery of page one and went on to overcome the finals. After a brief rest we were back to the old grind. With the dream of being Seniors in the backs of our minds, we studied a bit harder. We must admit, however, that our books were closed for the All Tech Week End. We recovered from this, the biggest of all parties, just in time to be subjected to second semester finals. It was done. We were no longer Juniors. It had been a wonderful year. Our class officers had organized the Junior Welfare Committee, which effected a closer relationship between the Juniors, their class officers, and the administration. It also resulted in more frequent and more successful Junior social functions. All of us are now looking forward to being Seniors, but, come September, we will be ready, For this summer we plan to study. 84 CLASS OF 1961 First Row: Daly, T.; Weaver, S.j Prout, D.; Foumier, A.; Parkinson, R.

Everywhere red beanies dotted the scene, but they looked wonderful this year . . . some- one else was wearing them. Yes, someone was below our station. No longer were we the lowest of the low, now we were guiding the Frosh. Guiding them by bark- ing Tip that beanie , How many chocolate bar wrap- pers in a block? , etc. . . Ah, authority was wonderful. Our influence was short lived however, the day of retri- bution finally came. Many of us suffered from exposure to water. Tinted with a little mud, that is. Settling down to work, we became reacquainted with No-Doz sandwiches, early classes, late nights, and long laboratory reports. But there was still time for fun. Under the leader- ship of Warren Demont we planned a dinner dance, and took part in I.F.C. weekend, Military Ball, All Tech Week End and other school functions. Sophomores began playing an important role in organizations, and the cloak of responsibility was ex- tremely becoming. Yes, we were becoming worthy of being called college men. With half down and the rest to come, we look for- ward with confidence. 87 CLASS OF 1962 First Row: Dion, R. ; Day -Lewis, F. ; Malanas, G. ; Szczypinski, H. ; Glenfield, J.; DeMont, W. ; Sobel, P.; Zaritsky, H. ; Sargent, J.; Ward, C.

Later in 1904 another chapter, Beta, was initiated at the New Bedford Textile School. In this same year, Gamma chapter was chartered at the then Lowell Textile School. It has since continued its growth and now consists of nine active chapters and twelve alumni chapters. It remains today the largest and most respected textile fraternity in the world. In recent years it has expanded its membership into related fields and its members are becoming well known in the fields of business, industry and government. Such men of prominence include the assistant secretary of defence. The purposes of Phi Psi are threefold: To promote good fellowship, social intercourse, and the advancement of its members in the textile and allied fields. Hell Week which is preferably called Help Week commences each school year. This helps to alleviate the burden imposed upon pledges and members alike. This year ' s hell week proved as successful as in the past, with much renovation and general repair being done. The pledge party, which now replaces the traditional welcome back party, proved a success and helped to re- lieve some doubts in the minds of new members. The I.F.C. weekend, a most memorable affair, presented an opportunity for Phi Psi to participate in one of the major phases of college life. The weekend was well attended by the beatniks of Phi Psi. Helping to make the weekend an overwhelming success and indicative of the competitive spirit that prevails at 403 Pawtucket St., Phi Psi added five trophies to its already crowded trophy case. In retrospect, the year 1959-60 has been a successful one. Problems which at first seemed insurmountable were met and over- come through the true spirit of brotherhood at Phi Psi. Those of us who leave L.T.I, take with us many fond memories of the years spent at the fraternity. The undying spirit which exists at Phi Psi gives us great hopes for our fraternity and our college. 96 PHI PSI OFFICERS President Thomas McNiff Vice President Kenneth Dunn R.

May these remembrances of our years together bring joy to their hearts. As we look back through the walls of the old fortress on Burgess Street we see Jack Hall and Bill Kubicki happily engaged in a good game of poker after every meeting. Doug Potts will be remembered as the man who could talk on any one subject indefi- nitely and still not solve anything. We recall, not without joy, the night when Barry Lloyd, Dick Cavallero, and Ed de Castro showed up for a meeting and were asked to leave because nobody could remember seeing them before at any other function. We can ' t help but laugh as we hear Mike Moutal calling the roll in that inimitable French-Spanish accent of his. And could we ever forget the ways Jose Irurita could tell you to go fly a kite, and you would walk away feeling as though he had just told you that you were his best friend. Or the many nights that we spent gathered around Dan Jacavanco and his piano, trying to harmonize in our non- musical voices. Garth Lax ' s oratory and skilled lobbying will not be forgotten by many of us. When will we ever attend another meeting similar to the one in which Jack Riley wanted 4 by 4 tables for the cellar, and Ron Raposo opposed him by saying that we needed 2 by 2 tables, and Nick Pappas was for 3 by 3 tables, while everyone else thought that round tables would do just fine (we finally settled on 2 by 2 tables) . When the time came for campus leaders to be named to Who ' s Who in American Colleges and Universities , we carried the largest representation with Garth Lax, Daniel Jacavanco, Michel Moutal, Ravindra Ved, Rene Gaillardetz, Douglas Potts, Leonard Frank, and Jose Irurita. Intellectually we fared excellently by being represented on Tau Epsilon Sigma by Rene Gaillardetz, Garth Lax, Jose Irurita. Without a doubt, these four years spent together in such a congenial atmosphere will hardly be paralleled by other events which fate may have in store for us. For here we were four years ago, a dazed group of youngsters with unknown ambitions and poten- tialities, and here we see ourselves now, some of us ready to be married, others going on to successful engineering careers, or grad- uate school work. We all feel certain that we will have forever engraved within our hearts the three Greek letters which our fraternity proudly bears, Delta — for duty, Kappa — for Knowledge, and Phi — for Friendship. 100 DELTA KAPPA PHI OFFICERS President Jose Irurita Vice President _ Robert Ingalls Secretary __ John Hall Treasurer Robert Gulezian Scribe Herbert Nelson Sergeant-at-Arms John Howes D K First Row: Ingalls, R. ; Irurita, J.; Hall, J.; Howes, J.

Then, as now, Pi Lam was the only national social organization on the campus. Today, it ranks high in the national chapter roll. In its eleventh year on the campus, Pi Lam, under the leadership of Rex Saul Perlman, has continued to maintain its prom- inence and fulfill its duties and obligations to the school. Throughout the school, Pi Lam continues to stand out with an ever flourishing distinction. Members of Pi Lambda Phi in school activities include the Editor-in-Chief, Business Manager and News Editor of the Text; Editor-in-Chief of the Pickout, and many standout varsity lettermen. The social season was again a tremendous success. Spearheaded by Social Chairman Alan Kaplan, four big weekends high- lighted the activities. Who can ever forget the colorful Mil Ball, with all its trimmings and bright lights and the amazed expres- sions on the faces of the freshmen who came to their first Pi Lam party; or the All Tech, where young ladies and their escorts jumped to the jazz band Friday evening, and participated in the glittering festivities of the following night. There are the many memories: The phone numbers, that attractive blonde I met last night, the brown suit you ' re wearing. These thoughts will linger on for many a Pi Lam man as he progresses forward and makes his way in that world that follows graduation. An event which has never failed to bring good cheer to the under privileged was the annual Christmas Party held for the chil- dren of the Franco-American Orphanage. To see the faces of the children when they received their presents, watched cartoons and the magic show, and ate ice cream and candy, would have made anyone feel that even if the fraternity did nothing else in the way of social events, its success as a campus function would not be questioned. The new brothers that were initiated and formally inducted this year have more than shown us that they truly represent the same Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity that is perenially respected. Pi Lam looks to another successful year with many memories and new friendships, which could only be gained through the existence of a fraternal atmosphere such as one may find among the members of Pi Lambda Phi. An atmosphere that breeds transition from youthful exuberant freshmen into staid, matured seniors. 104 PI LAMBDA PHI FRATERNITY OFFICERS Rex .

Formed by seven members of the then Lowell Textile School with the purpose of promoting brotherhood among its members ; Pi has always been a society of men with common ideals and interests. The only independent fraternity on the campus, and backed by strong and loyal alumni, Pi has chosen to remain inde- pendent through the years, even though it has been approached by several national fraternities. In doing so, we remain free to govern ourselves, and are not burdened by the commitments or the expenses involved in an affiliation with a national organization. Soon another June will have rolled around, and another group of Pi men will receive their degrees and enter the world of industry, but the time spent at Pi will never be forgotten. Such pleasant moments as harmonizing with the choral group, killing time at work parties, breaking the Monte Carlo bank, finding just the right laboratory report in the file, Dave ' s dinners, Plum Island, and the many parties and big weekends will remain fond memories forever. This school year started off with a bang. Hell Week was the first week of classes and much time was devoted to getting the Pi mansion into class A shape. Members as well as pledges worked side by side repairing the house and beautifying the grounds. Socially we enjoyed I.F.C. and the Fraternity Formal. As is always the case, the rushing functions were memorable occasions with the stags, and Monte Carlo highlighting the season. Pi ' s activities were not confined to social undertakings alone, for we held many places of importance in school organi- zations. The Presidentt of the Senior class was an Pi man, as were officers in Student Council, Circle K. WLTI, and various engineering societies. With all things combined, fraternal, social, academic, athletic — the past year was one of the most enjoyable and profitable years for Pi men. As the seniors look back over their years of fraternity life, they could not help but be thankful for the experi- ences gained while living in the brotherhood of Pi; for here were their close friends, common interests, and pleasurable social functions. To the graduating seniors, Omicron Pi wishes the best of luck for the future, marked with happiness and success. 108 OMICRON PI OFFICERS Archon James Rabideau Senior Member George Ohler Junior Member Paul Robinson Treasurer Bert Bonfilli Marshall Roger Bartlett Asst.

Realizing that the coed enrollment would rise, Phi Sigma Rho sought to become ah outlet for coed activity under a common seal. In 1948 in keeping with campus tradition, the sorority adopted the Greek name Phi Sigma Rho. F for Fraternity, S for Service, and R for Responsibility. Under the guidance of Phyllis Healy, the sorority once again this year, took part in Hell Week according to the I.F.C. reg- ulations. The first week in September pledges were run through the paces necessary before becoming sisters. The end of the week was marked by a party in honor of the exhausted pledges. On Friday, October 2, the new girls became official sisters at the Formal Initiation , which was followed by a congratulatory party given by the upperclassmen. At the end of October, we again kicked up our heels, and this time quite literally, at the annual Barn Dance. Held in Dean Ivers ' barn, the dance gave us a chance to jump around and call it square dancing. Rush parties, including a come-as-you-are party, a semi-formal, and a rush tea, all helped to fill our year with fun. The climax of our social activity was Sorority Weekend. Held late in the second semester, Sorority weekend included tak- ing in a play, and a formal dinner dance. Of course, there were various other stops on the way, to and fro. Lest you believe that the sorority is all play and no work, let us mention just a few community and school services that we perform. Each year, local orphans are treated to a day on the town. Lunch, movies and all the treats that make a movie complete are the activities for the day. For Lowell Tech, not only are we active in many organizations, including the Pickout, Newman Club, and the technical clubs, but at Christmas time we don our little white aprons and serve at the President ' s Egg Nog party. In June, after the Senior Tea, Phi Sigma Rho will close activities for the year. A year which has been filled with achieve- ments. To the graduating seniors, we wish the best of luck and success and to us they leave the spark of enthusiasm which has motivated the sorority over the past twenty-four years. 112 PHI SIGMA RHO OFFICERS President Phyllis Healy Vice President Francis Davis Secretary Rita McGurn Treasurer Joanne Inglis Marshall Shirley Bilodeau Historian Jeane Sargent First Row: Phyllis Healey, Joanne Inglis Second Row: Frances Davis, Rita McGurn wiili , i i-ii m First Row: Davis F., Healy P., Inglis J., McGurn R.

Richard L ' Heureux The Interfraternity Council at Lowell Tech is the group composed of representatives from each of the fraternities. It has three major functions which are: government and regulation of the fraternities, representation of all fraternities as a group, and provision for combined fraternity activities. In the capacity of a governmental body, it establishes rules for fraternities regarding activities which concern the houses and provides for enforcement of its regulations by the imposition of fines. As the representative of all houses it speaks for them when conferring with Institute officials, when establishing communication between freshmen and fraternities, and in matters involved with the maintenance of better public relations. The outstanding example of the IFC functioning is the organization and revision, each year, of fraternity rushing. As in pre- ceding years, the Council initiated the rushing season by the traditional Open House. From this there follows the various rushing parties at each house which are climaxed by the distribution of bids to the prospective pledges. This activity has customarily been performed in an efficient and smooth manner under the watchful eye of the IFC. The third major field of operation is the area of social and recreational planning. This year ' s IFC Weekend, which falls under the social efforts of the group, was probably the most successful since the inaugu- ration of the two day celebration six years ago. On Friday night music was suppli ed by a jazz combo, while on Saturday Ken Reeves and his society orchestra gave us Lester Lanin type strains. The IFC is a natural result of the fraternities working together for better relationships and accomplishment. There is no ques- tion that it has lived up to this in the past ; and there is even less question that it will live up to this in the future. 116 First Row: Perlman, S. ; L ' Heureux, R. ; Lax, G. ; Salwa, S.

Lax, the Student Council of the academic year 1959-1960 enjoyed the prestige of being hailed as the best council since its inception in 1948. Council work began in September with a monotonous, but important job — that of assigning lockers to the student body. However, the Council soon swung into high gear, supervising the TOC orientation period for the new frosh. Sophomore President Warren DeMont, a council member, was chairman of TOC and also chairman of the All Tech Ban- quet. This was a highly successful affair, and terminated the orientation period. Our board of faculty advisors was increased to three with the addition of Lt. Col. Benjamin McCary, who, with Professor Russ Brown and Professor Jake Frederick, provided as fine a group of advisors as can be found any- where. After the All Tech Banquet, the Council, acting on student complaints, undertook investigation of campus organizations. As a result of this action, the Nucleus was dissolved and later reorganized. Next, the Council began the selection of those students to be nominated for membership in Who ' s Who. For the first time, the Council decided to base the ultimate selection of candidates on a point system. The resulting group, all of whom were approved by national Who ' s Who, were publically recognized at the Christmas Convocation.

Second Row: Parkinson, R.; DeMont, W.; Rabideau, J.; Oehler, G.; Potts, D.; Prout, D. 122 The Christmas Convocation was unique, in that for the first time it was completely run by the Council. Garth did a commendable job as master of ceremonies. President Lydon, Dean Mark, and Dean Ivers gave Christmas messages; Rev. Paul Ketchem, the Invocation; and Father Berkhart, the Benediction. A much surprised Council Secretary, Dan Jaca- vanco, led the student body in Christmas Carols. The Student Council then began work on its big job of the year — running a low budget, high success type, All Tech Weekend. Junior Dave Prout was appointed chairman of the affair, and set right out by hiring not one but TWO jazz bands for Friday night, and both Freddy Saterial and Ted Herbert for the formal on Saturday night. The jazz bands on Friday night played to a hall filled with Greenwich Village type characters, as the theme of the 1960 All Tech Weekend was BEATNIK. As another first, there were no tables or chairs. Th e Beats brought their own pads (blankets) and sat on the floor. At ten o ' clock refreshments, in the form of French bread and grape juice, were served. The All Tech Week- end was on the whole, by far the most successful in history. Next, the Council set up nominations and elections dates for the selection of the 1960-1961 Student Council, and under 123 the direction of the Junior Representative, Bert Bonfili, began preparing for the annual school picnic . . . Up- stream Day. By the time June rolled around, one of the most suc- cessful Upstream Days had been held, new Student coun- cil members were in office, and the work of the 1959-1960 Council had terminated. The accomplishments of the Council were many. . . . The All Tech Weekend, Upstream Day, and the All Tech Banquet were all raised to new heights of popularity. The Council had exercised its authority over many or- ganizations on the campus, making these groups better for their members. It also ran the first Council sponsored convocation in the history of the school. In closing it can be said that the main objective of the Student Council, which was raise the school spirit, was attained with a high degree of success. 124 125 WHO ' S WHO IN AMERICAN COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES This is the third consecutive year the Lowell Technological Institute has been requested to designate candidates for Who ' s Who. This national scholastic and achievement award has now been recognized for over twenty-five years. The students who are selected are nominated from approximately 750 colleges and universities throughout the United States. It is the intention of the national organization to give recognition to those college students who have shown an active interest in college affairs, exhibited a quality of leadership, and have maintained a high level of scholastic grades in the college curricula. Thus, the award is conferred as a measure of com- pensation for outstanding effort and achievement and serves as a goal to which any college student might strive. At Tech, the Student Council assumes the responsibility of selecting the twenty candidates that they feel are best representative of the Institute. This is done on a point and merit system wherein evaluation is given for scholastic merit and extracurricular efforts. Each member elected is given a certificate as provided for by Who ' s Who National, a writeup in their annual publication, and the benefit of their place- ment service. 126 First Row: Iruita J., Jacavanco D., Lax G., Ved R., Perlman S.

Since its origin at LTI, the ROTC band has represented both the college and the Air Force at many Tech and local functions in a traditionally fine manner. The Band is_ composed primarily of students in the Air Force pro- gram. However, membership in the band is not limited to this category and non-ROTC students are encouraged to participate in the Band ' s activities. Instruments, music, uniforms, and other material are all supplied by the ROTC in conjunction with the State of Massachusetts. The Band rehearses normally during the drill period and occasionally in the evening in preparation for special concerts. The Band is under the direction of Mr. Basil Larkin of Chelmsford, Mass. Mr. Larkin is a noted musician and a capable conductor. Faculty advisor and tactical officer for the Band Squadron is Captain John P. Chervenak of the ROTC staff. Activities for the Band include playing for the review and retreat ceremonies at drills and many special concerts. Each year the LTI Band performs at the Lowell Sun Golden Gloves Tournament. This year the Band also gave conceits at the ROTC Family Night and the Awards Ceremonies and has participated in several parades, both in Lowell and surrounding towns. In addition to being a musical organization, the Band also com- petes with the other squadrons in the Cadet Corps as a Military Unit upholding the spirit of competition and readiness the membership on the AFROTC instill in all members. 127 AATCC Thirty-nine years ago Dr. Louis Olney organized a group known as the Textile Chemical Organization. On December 16, 1922, the group reorganized under the name of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists. Thus the first chapter of the A.A.T.C.C. was founded. The organization is unique insofar as it is the sole link between the textile student and the vast textile industry. The student chapter like the national, is exclusively devoted to textile chemistry. Chairman John Santos First Row: Santos, J.; Davis, F. ; Healy P. Second Row: Zaritsky, H.; Harvey, A.; Aimone, J.; Dion, L. 128 Since 1922, nine student chapters have made their appearance on Textile school campuses throughout the country. The chapter here at LTI is very active and all possible endeavors are made to keep the students interested, and to encourage other Textile Chemistry majors to participate by taking up membership. Among the many varied activities is the April meeting which is one of the events of the year. This spring, the students conducted this meeting as usual, having the New England section as guest, to hear papers ably presented by students engaged in the master ' s program. A day was devoted to the presentation of this program, the afternoon being given to guided tours about the school and to talks presented by undergraduates. The papers were presented in the evening and were followed by a social hour, enabling the student to meet some of the National Chapter members and to gather current news on the Textile Industry. ' — s 129 A.S.M.E. A student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was first established at Lowell Tech in 1954. It replaced the Engineer- ing Society which had been the engineers ' organization prior to that time. Membership is open to all sophomores, juniors, and ' seniors who are enrolled in the General and Textile Engineering courses, and to graduates in the engineering department. Membership in the student branch means an automatic subscription to Mechanical Engineering magazine, and to full student membership benefits granted by the parent organization. Meetings include the discussion of industrial problems and pro- cedure, showing of films, and the business concerned with being a part of a national organization. This year a list of informative movies and guest speakers from the world of industry were included.

Among the most noteworthy organizations to be founded on this campus is the Nucleus. This or- ganization, though only in its twelfth year of existence, has done much in the way of adding decorum to its membership. The purpose of the Nucleus is to provide its members with an opportunity to get first hand experience in public speaking, human relations, seminars, and all the components of a good technical education, which is so vital in the highly advanced world of industry. These ends are accomplished through the practical experiences, and related events of the members themselves. Each member shares his practical knowledge and experience with the other members through a series of monthly seminars conducted by a member on the subject of his choice. The particular chair- man for a certain month must make all arrangements for announcements, invitations, question periods, and the usual dinner foll6wing the seminar. In this way the members gain that certain self confidence necessary in the business world. 131 LEATHER SOCIETY The object of the Leather Engineering Society is to foster better acquaintances among the members of the society and persons asso- ciated with the tanning and allied industries, to discuss problems of mutual interest to the members, and to correlate scientific research with practical application. This year as in the past, the society members were invited by the New England Tanners Council to participate in their monthly meet- ings. At these meetings, lectures on solving some of the typical prob- lems encountered by the leather engineer were delivered. There were also discussions on problems which, as of now, have not been over- come. These are the problems which will be our responsibility. In the past, groups of members have selected certain phases of tanning operations to explore, but this year, it was decided that due to the continual branching of the leather industry we would diversify our subject matter. With this project, and our many field trips and discussions it can be seen that the Leather Engineering Society is an important part of the Leather man ' s curriculum.

' ____ Roger Bartlett Secretary Kenneth Dolfe The Paper Engineering Society was formed at LTI in the fall of 1952, with a membership of seven. The society now has an active enrollment of thirty-six members consisting of seniors, juniors, and sophomores. It is the purpose of the society to promote a feeling of brotherhood among the members and to form a liaison between the members and men active in the paper industry. This year ' s first meeting was an organizational one and closed with an understanding that approximately three meetings per semester would be held. These meetings would be dinner meetings followed by an informal seminar with a guest speaker. Professor John Lewis over- sees the meetings and advises as to speaker and procedure. This year the society is sponsoring an open house which is de- signed to acquaint the freshmen with the Paper Engineering course and its students. During the period of open house, members of the society will point out the operation of machines typical of the paper industry and take part in panel discussions on the course. The Paper Engineering Society is one of the newer organizations on campus, being but seven years in existence. Each year the activities grow in both scope and depth, encompassing more and more of the ever expanding paper field. It is our intention that the society keep pace with the industry it represents. This can only be done through hard work and long hours of planning. 133 ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING SOCIETY Since its founding in May, 1956, the Electronic Engineer- ing Society has continued to be the largest professional group on the campus. For the past four years, it has continuously improved and expanded its main purpose, namely the pro- fessional betterment of its members. Under the guiding eye of our faculty adviser, Professor Carl A. Stevens, the purpose has been successfully carried out in two major directions . . . professional and social. In the professional vein, monthly meetings keep the mem- bers cognizant of the Society ' s activities, the highlight of President Rene A.

At these lectures, visiting speakers discuss various aspects of other related fields in science and industry in order to correlate theory with prac- tice and thus enhance the possibility of the individual stu- dents recognizing, at a more feasible stage, a possible goal of their vocation. Among some of the improvements in this professional and academic field of endeavor are weekly tech- nical and semi-technical movies which are open to the faculty and student body of LTI. Another improvement has been the new tutoring program. By this program any Sophomore or Junior may seek help from any of the men who comprise the tutoring corps. The tutors are individuals who, by their academic standing, have displayed a superior grasp of the material and who have volunteered to assist those who solicit their help. The Society is one of the active student branches of the Institute of Radio Engineers. 135 PHYSICS MATH SOCIETY The Physics and Math Society, one of the newest campus organiza- tions at LTI, seeks to unite the rapidly growing number of students and faculty in the Engineering Physics course as well as other students and faculty members who are interested in the fields of physics and math. Through lectures, field trips, movies, and various programs, the members attain a professional outlook as the importance of these courses in engineering studies. Foremost in the society ' s activities are the bi-monthly meetings, where opportunities are provided for student discussion as well as supplementation of classroom work, and where it is decided what films will be shown to the student body. Student members of the society have contributed their time and efforts by visiting neighboring high schools and talking to the stu- dents in furthering their interest in physics and mathematics. Dr. Gold is the nucleus of this movement. Another program is to acquire membership in a national organization devoted to physics.

President Robert Davis Vice President Robert Flynn Secretary David Prout Treasurer Robert Chang The Plastics Engineering Society is one of the fastest growing pro- fessional societies on the campus. From its original membership of fifteen students in 1955, it has more than quadrupled in five years. Monthly dinner meetings are held at which speakers, prominent in the plastics field, discuss subjects of current importance to the members. These discussions aid greatly in fulfilling the purpose of the organiza- tion, which is to aid students enrolled in the Plastics Engineering Course, and to meet socially with men noted for their achievements within the rapidly expanding plastics industry. Membership is open to all members of the Department of Plastics Engineering and to any student who has a special interest in plastics, although not enrolled in the course. Freshmen may join as Associate Members and are cordially invited to attend any or all of the meetings at no obligation to themselves. The Society is an important part of the Plastic Engineer ' s cur- riculum, presenting him with lectures and programs which supplement his education. This year, the officers announced that the Plastics Engineering Society had become the first student chapter of the National Society of Plastics Engineers. The National Society has 8000 active members in all parts of the world. The advisory facilities of the National Society should prove quite helpful to the students here at Tech. In addition to this honor, members of the senior class were requested to present papers at all dinner meetings of the Eastern New England section of the Society. These papers, covering a wide range of topics and con- tent were consistently well received. Needless to say, this speaks well for the extent and quality of the training we have received here at the Institute. This has been a most progressive year for the Plastics men. There is little doubt that the years ahead will show a sharp growth in the activities and influence of this outstanding engineering society. TEXTILE SOCIETY The Textile Society is one of the newer organizations on the cam- pus. Formed four years ago by a group of students who wished to obtain a better knowledge of, and acquaintance with, the textile in- dustry as it exists today, it has proven to be very successful. From its meager beginning, the officers with the able assistance of our faculty advisors, Dr. Harris, and Professors Frederick, Brown, and Phister, have led the society to an increased scope in both content and extent of its activities. During the past year the Society has sponsored mill trips to various plants in Eastern Massachusetts, initiated several highly informative and entertaining seminars, and has been the re- cipient of several noteworthy addresses given by leaders in the textile industry. The annual dinner held at one of the leading restaurants in town was an overwhelming success. The entertaining value and informative nature were both supplied by a talented lecturer. The officers and members of the Textile Society look forward with anticipation to a very successful future and marked improvement with each passing year.

Broadcasting on a carrier current of 655 KC, five days a week, from 7:00 P.M. to 2:00 A.M., WLTI plays continuous music starting with jazz in the early evening and ending with soft music early in the morning. WLTI boasts of a large assortment of various types of records, from jazz to symphonies, opera to rock and roll, and popular to Broad- way show tunes. Every week, albums of records are delivered to the studio from the top music recording companies. Our staff of announcers and engineers is well experienced and will provide you with the tops in musical listening all through the night, with what we hope is your favorite music. Any musical requests will be played where, when, and by the 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, Mass., the time is now P.M., this is the musical voice of Lowell Technological Institute, broadcasting from our studio in the basement of Eames Hall, welcome to our listening audience. 139 CHEMISTRY CLUB The Chemistry Club, the baby organization at Tech is one of the fastest growing groups on the campus. It is the brain-child of its president. Albert Harvey, now a Senior. At its first meeting last spring, a constitution was drawn up, amended, and accepted. Officers, besides the already mentioned president, consist of: David Beaulieu, vice president; Sandra Weaver, recording secretary; Ann O ' Dowd, corresponding secretary; Ellen Trevors, treasurer. Faculty advisers: Dr. Pike and Dr. Scattergood. The Club offers an integrated program of technical meetings, with speakers, films, and field trips; and in the category of social activity, a Dinner Dance in the second semester. Last Spring several members attended the American Chemical Society convention in Boston in the capacity of helpers — operating slide projectors, running errands, and in general being handy. This fall Sandra Weaver and Charles Wilson were selected to ac- company Dr. Griffin to the annual dinner of the A.C.S., and many of the other students attended the open meeting afterward. For the future, we are planning a busy schedule which will include a membership drive, many good speakers, and some social events that will be open to the entire student body.

President _ Daniel Jacavanco The Circle K Club is a service organization similar to. but not an integral part of Kiwanis. It is a character building group which offers service on the campus, to the school, and the community. Membership in Circle K is open to second, third, and fourth year male students who show interest and ability to participate in the func- tions and activities of the organization. Monthly dinner meetings are held at which guest speakers discuss topics of mutual interest. The Circle K year of activity begins early in September when the members aid the administration and TOC to orientate innocent fresh- men to the worldly ways of LTI. During orientation week. Circle K ' s proctor examinations, assist at the Freshman Smoker, give guided tours through LTI and run the Freshman Outing. The most noteworthy project of Circle K. is the tutoring program. This program included the tutoring of all Freshman subjects except English. Many a wandering Frosh has been set back on the straight- away due to this system. At the national convention this year Lowell Tech had the further honor of having one of its students. John Hayes, named as District Governor. 141 T.O.C. In both industry and education a program of orientation or familiarization is necessary. We at Tech follow that practice through the T.O.C. or Tech Orientation Committee. Each spring twenty-five freshmen are selected to serve on this committee which actively participates in the guidance of the follow- ing year ' s freshmen class. In an attempt to fami liarize the Frosh with their classmates and the traditions of Tech, a series of events are planned which will best suit this purpose. A smoker, where the student meets the campus leaders, an outing and catered picnic, and a dance run jointly with Lowell State Teacher College are just a few of the functions. To allow the incoming student to meet the upperclassmen, he is outfitted with a red beanie and name tag, which clearly show his status and make it quite easy for upperclassmen to seek him out and assist him. The orientation period of six weeks is climaxed by Field Day. Traditionally held on the sixth Wednesday, it is highlighted by basket- ball and voile) ball games and a serious Tug of War. In the evening a banquet in Cumnock Hall signals the official end of the program, and with a sigh of relief, the freshmen doff their beanies and become Tech men and women. A special thanks from this year ' s participants goes to Mr. Arthur Haley, and Dean Richard Ivers for their valuable assistance.

Berman Business Manager Arturo Walerstein Layout Editor Anne J. Turcotte The Key, the student handbook of Lowell Tech. is symbolic of the opening of the gateway linking college and high school. Organized under the supervision of the Student Council and published in con- junction with the Tech Orientation Committee with the intent of making the transition from high school to college less difficult, the handbook provides a means for aspiring Technites to become familiar with the rules, regulations and privileges of college life as encountered at LTI. First published in 1955. it contains all the pertinent facts of the college and its surroundings. The handbook also contains a con- cise history of the college and of the city of Lowell. The editor is chosen by the editorial staff of the previous year, and is free to choose his own staff. The Key is published by funds raised through advertising, thus making it a self sufficient organization. Working on the Key affords interested students an opportunity to become acquainted with the fields of journalism and the business pro- cedures of a college enterprise. This year ' s officers were Steven M. Berman. ' 60. Editor; Arturo Walerstein, ' 59, Business Manager: Anne J. Turcotte, ' 60. Layout Editor, and Mr. Arthur Haley. Faculty Advisor. We and the Tech students affiliated with the publication of the Key feel that it has an important part of the freshmen orientation program. 143 NEWMAN CLUB Having completed its ninth year of fostering and promoting the spiritual, intellectual and social interests of the Catholic students at Tech, the Newman Club continues to do the fine job it has long been noted for. The first Newman Club to be called by that name was formed by five students of the University of Pennsylvania in 1893. Because Catholic Culture was the keynote of their program, they adopted Cardinal Newman as patron of their club. With increased enrollment in colleges, came a corresponding increase in the number of active Newman Clubs. In 1915, the existing clubs joined together under the name of the Federation of College Catholic Clubs. In 1938, the name of the federation was changed to the Newman Club Federation. Finally in the spring of 1941, the Newman Club Federation became a member of the National Catholic Youth Council. The Newman Club of LTI is a member of the National Newman Club Federation. Membership in the club is open to students of both Lowell Teachers and Lowell Tech. This past year found the club with a membership of 300 students and faculty members. The club was fortunate this past year to have as its chaplain the Reverend John J. MacNamara and Miss Alice Kierman and Mr. Gerald O ' Connor as faculty advisers.

Keeping in mind the primary purpose for the exist- ence of the club, that is spiritual and intellectual, the year ' s program was planned accordingly. In addition to the monthly meetings and weekly dis- cussions, highlighted by guest speakers, spiritual in- spiration was provided at two Communion breakfasts, a day of recollection, and a weekend retreat for meditation. This year Newman sponsored a Christmas Party at St. Patrick ' s Home, a spaghetti supper, and two dances. The year came to an end at a beach party, where many of us braved the cold May water and sand just long enough to have a wonderful time. 145 HILLEL Eight years ago, a body of Jewish students attending Lowell Tex- tile Institute applied for membership in the national Hillel organization and founded the present B ' nai B ' rith Hillel Counselorship at Lowell Tech. Hillel strives to attain a two-fold goal: to make Jewish College students heirs as well as creators — heirs to their historic heritage as well as potential creators of new values; sharers of time — validated experience as well as molders of new patterns of self expression ; re- cipients 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 programs. This year, in keeping with the aims of Hillel, discussion groups were held on weekday evenings. Topics brought up by the members at these meetings ranged from Jewish history and customs to marital problems. Although Hillel is mainly a Jewish organization, students of other religious beliefs, interested in learning different aspects of Jewish life and history, attend discussions and other Hillel sponsored affairs. This past year has been a progressive one for Hillel, and it is hoped that the future years will see a larger more active group President Steven M.

At the present time, the Fellowship ' s membership is comprised of stu- dents from Lowell Technological Institute. Lowell State Teachers Col- lege, and the Lowell General Hospital School of Nursing. Although primarily a Protestant organization, students of other faiths may join in membership. The regular bimonthly meetings are held at the Pawtucket Congre- gational Church, with special services such as the Christmas candle- light service being held at the Grace Universalists. As part of the program, the Fellowship attended the University of Life series, which is annually sponsored by the Greater Lowell Council of Churches. Discussions pertinent to the evenings inspirational messages were held afterwards. At the moment plans are being formulated for the annual April Communion breakfast and for our part in the Brotherhood Banquet in February. The advisers again this year were Reverend Paul Ketchem. Pro- fessor Dow and Doctor Williams. 147 BRIDGE CLUB The Duplicate Bridge League has been a Tech function for nine years. And although several members have graduated from last year ' s teams, the ' 59- ' 60 season proved to be highly successful and very entertaining for the members. Shortly after the school term opened, a new slate of officers was elected. From this early date, plans were made for the formulation of the current season ' s activities. The club ' s loss by graduation was more than offset by an increase of new members. In operation, the League is a joint faculty-student organization. Originally proposed as an all male organization, in the ' 55 season the League succumbed to the beguilements of the opposite sex and ad- mitted coeds to membership. This year also, the club has accepted former student members to heighten competition. This spring, as has been the custom, many of the members will enter the Intercollegiate Bridge Tourney. The members of the club sincerely hope that in years to come more faculty, fraternity, and student teams will enter into this interesting and competitive activity.

CHESS CLUB The newly formed Lowell Tech Chess Club, consisting; of twelve. members, was organized in October, 1957, with the intention of promoting interest and activity in chess playing. Although difficulty was experienced in club organization and programming, it is believed that the club has a promising future with intercollegiate tournaments in view. The instructive attributes acquired as a consequence of frequent participation in chess games, are highly advan- tageous. The game affords the player ample practice and opportunity for development of his abilities to size up sit- uations, to weigh possibilities, to see through traps, to avoid oversights, and to formulate and execute a plan. Chess is one of the best mental exercises available. Couldn ' t we all use it? 149 INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS The International Students Circle was formed twenty-eight years ago to fulfill the purpose of pro- moting good fellowship and better understanding through cultural, social and technical activities. Not only among the members themselves, but with their fellow classmates. Many of the members have had the pleasure of addressing various clubs throughout the city this year. Through this media many of the members have made new friends with whom they were able to exchange ideas and discuss differences in customs and social activities. This year as in the past the members participated in United Nations Day. A new activity, that of holding a dance, was started this year. It was a tremendous success, and will now be held annually. Under the guidance of Professor James G. Dow, the Circle has had a most successful year. His under- standing and help have materially contributed to the appreciation and understanding that the members have acquired of the things that are American.

The Chinese Students Circle is one of the oldest organizations on the campus. Through the years the aims of the Circle have been to foster friendship among its members and to develop an interest in the extra-curricular activit ies of the club throughout the student body. During the year meetings were held at which the members discussed many of the social and technical activities that are of unusual benefit and interest to the Chinese student at Tech. As has been the practice in past years, members of the society have on several occasions, conferred with other Chinese students at several of the other campuses within commuting distance of the Institute. This proved rewarding as friendships were made with those who had similar goals and were undergoing comparable experiences in the quest for a college education. To close out an eventful and highly profitable year, the members express their gratitude to those who have shown an interest in the Circle and its undertakings, especially so to Professor James Dow. who has given freely of his time and whole-hearted guidance. 151 THE PICKOUT This year, as it has been in the past years, the Pickout began its momentous job by selecting a staff. With so few people interested in extra-curricular activities, it was indeed difficult to choose a group which would work together efficiently, and effectively. Few people are in a position to appreciate the tremendous amount of preparation and work involved in publishing a yearbook. Working on a very close deadline, assignments have to be made for copy and pictures. All copy must be proofread 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 book. The task of coordination and leadership was taken by Stan Zarit- sky, a four-year veteran of Pickout procedure. Ray Ved. Photography Editor, was seen, camera in hand, chasing many a senior through the halls to secure his proofs; and informals had to be taken, developed and sent to the printer in limited time. This was no easy job for a staff of one. If you saw a coed pacing the grounds with a stack of papers, and a double pair of glasses, that ' s Joanne Inglis, and her double bifocals are due to the close, careful work of the Layout Editor.

The club is composed of lettermen from the various varsity teams. 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 ath- letic conditions on the campus, and promote friendships and annual events between the faculty of Lowell Tech, the fraternities, 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 Asso- ciation, and with the Athletic Committee to promote school spirit, intramural activities, and classification of varsity sports. Its long term objective is to improve the general condition of athletic facilities. President Garth La First Row: Lax, G. Second Row: Sumer, B. ; Haft, P.; Laliberte, G. ; Salwa, S.

Chairman Arthur Ricker Vice Chairmen Paul Saunders, Frank Keville Secretary Douglas Potts Treasurer Anthony Giordano The Lowell Tech student chapter of ASTE received its charter at a Charter Night Banquet April 29, 1959. At this gathering the members and their guests were addressed by President Lydon, Dr. Mingins, and National Director of ASTE, Wilfred Pender. With the enthusiasm of the student officers and chapter members, the guidance of faculty advisor, Professor J. Arthur Ainsworth, and the help of the Merrimac Valley Chapter of ASTE, the Tech chapter has increased rapidly from an initial membership of 25 to a present membership of near 70. The ASTE is an international engineering society dedicated to creative manufacturing. Student dues entitle the members to a mem- bership card and certificate suitable for framing, the monthly maga- zine Tool Engineer and many useful technical publications. At Tech the student chapter has speakers and films on technical subjects of interest to members. Many of the students avail them- selves of the opportunity to attend the dinner meetings of the Valley Chapter, hear their guest speakers and participate in field trips spon- sored by the chapter. At the moment the Tech chapter is preparing to host the Valley Chapter and also ASTE members from the Greater Boston vicinity during an open house program. The program, under the direction of the faculty advisor, is de- signed to acquaint the senior member of ASTE with LTI ' s General Engineering course and the Institute ' s facilities, and to inform the leaders of New England industry, who are potential employees of LTI graduates, of our school and students. !:, ' . VANDENBURG AIR SOCIETY The Vandenberg Air Society is an honorary society for advanced AFROTC cadets. Formed in 1957 from the James F. Philips Squadron of the Arnold Air Society, this new organization of the ROTC detach- ment at Tech has undergone a two-fold increase in membership and activities. In becoming independent of the national organization of the Arnold Air Society, the new society at Tech was named in honor of General Hoyt Vandenberg. In its activities and functions, the society has as its purpose: the furthering of the missions, traditions, and concepts of the Air Force as a means of national defense, the evaluation and responsibility of American citizenship, and stimulation and promotion of modern con- cepts of the newest in Air Age education. Membership to this society is on a merit basis and is limited to the twenty-five cadets who are selected on the basis of academic stand- ing, leadership ability, participation in student extra-curricular activi- ties. With these qualifications determining membership in the society, it is seen that each selectee is one who is truly representative of the highest ideals, both of the Institute and of AFROTC detachment. Of its social functions, the society sponsors or actively assists in the running of all cadet activities of a social nature. In the past year this has included one of the truly highlights of the social calendar, the Annual Military Ball. Members of the society also played an active part in the Blood Bank visit to the campus. On Awards Night, the society gave official recognition to those cadets who have excelled in the activities and duties relative to Society and the Detachment.

This year, the club has been given, once again, a range on the campus, and it is hoped that upperclassmen will be drawn by the shooting and become so interested that they join. As part of its activities the club has engaged in matches with three AFROTC units, half a dozen collegiate teams from colleges in Eastern Massachusetts, and several civilian teams from the surrounding towns. It is the intent of the club to stimulate and promote the business and social aspects of the membership. This consists of lively dis- cussions, the official monthly business meetings, and the annual dinner held at a local restaurant. With an increasing membership, plans are now in the making to organize two teams, an AFROTC team, and a student team composed of non-Air Force members.

It seems futile to try to fascinate the uninitiated with skiing, or to write about the glories of this unique sport. Those who have tried it need not be convinced, for once a skier, always a skier. It is foolish to deprive yourself of the thrill just because some misguided soul has told you that the quickest route to the hospital is via the ski lanes. These are the days of the safety bindings, the ski schools, the action boots, the controllable skis. For your comfort, beautiful inns that serve fine foods are found wherever there are slopes. Gone are the days of hiking up the mountain, now there are T bars, J bars, Pomalifts, and best of all, the chair lift. With all these excellent facilities, 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, that feeling of freedom and power. The Ski Club at Tech has been particularly active this year. A week of excellent skiing during the mid semester break was enjoyed by almost all of the members. Other Saturday jaunts included such areas as Cannon, Wildcat, Cranmore, Black and many other excellent areas at our immediate disposal. For those of you that are interested in joining the club, but are a little timid when it comes to strap- ping on the boards, come along. There is nothing that beats the socializing around that lodge fireside. 159 GENERAL ENGINEERING SOCIETY In the ' 58- ' 59 season it was decided by the activity-minded seniors of the General Engineering curriculum to found a society to promote the status and purpose of the students who selected the General En- gineering course as their field of study. This occasioned several lengthy meetings, the pro and con discussion of vital issues, and the unanimous selection of Professor Bischoff as our faculty advisor. By mutual agreement of the members, the Society ' s purpose would be That the society proposes to provide the media whereby, both the technical aspects of an engineering society and social functions that relate thereto will equally contribute and enrich each member. With this in mind, the activities of the society have included seminars, bi-monthly meetings, discussion groups, and the ever popular dinner meetings. This has been a progressive year for the General Engineers and the society, and there is little doubt that in the years ahead both the course of study and the society will expand considerably.

TAU EPSILON SIGMA First Row: Lax, G.; Savoie, E. ; Irurita, J. Second Row: Rabideau, J.; Gaillardetz, R. ; Connell, H.; Kane, T. In 1927, Tau Epsilon Sigma, the scholastic honor society at Lowell Technological Institute was founded under the direction of Professor Emeritus Gilbert R. Merrill. From its inception this honor society has served as an incentive for all undergraduate students to strive for the honor of membership and as a reward for determined and faithful application to scholastic achievement. Membership in Tau Epsilon Sigma is earned by a student who has been on the Dean ' s list for six consecutive semesters or who has main- tained an overall average of 3.00 during his four years of study. The gold key, symbolic of membership in this distinguished or- ganization, is proudly worn by the members who have entered its eminent ranks through their continued honor standing. Today there are nearly four hundred members of this exclusive organization. Under the capable supervision of Professor John J. McDonald, faculty adviser, the society is presently endeavoring to expand its activities and to promote an even greater interest in the honor attached to achieving membership in Tau Epsilon Sigma. 161 TECH PLAYERS In 1906. the Tech Players was formed to give an annual minstrel show in which the boys gave a demonstration of their singing and dancing ability, but as is the case with the Institute, things have changed. The minstrel show of former days has become an annual presentation of a major pro- duction, in which all the members display their skills ,.not only as actors and actresses, but also as stage and prop hands, make-up artists, advertising and publicity agents, ticket sellers or promoters. In the spring of 1957 a successful production of the draw- ing room comedy, Out of the Frying Pan, was given. In 1959, under the able direction of Mr. John Baker, the hilarious comedy, My Three Angels, with three of the most dis- reputable angels ever to be found on a college campus, was performed. At Christmas time the Players lay aside their make-up kits and scripts, to give a party for the unde rprivileged children of Lowell. Complete with Santa, gifts, ice cream, cake and all the trimmings, the party was a tremendous success. Only one question remained in our minds, Who had a better time, the children or the Players ? At the conclusion of a memorable year, the Players held the annual awards banquet, at which deserving players re- President Anne J. Turcotte Secretary Shirley A.

This year ' s banquet was held at the White Gobbler Turkey Farm in New Hampshire. The Players indeed had a successful year, but without the help of our interested advisers it would not have been pos- sible. To Professors Merrill and Pfister we give our heartfelt thanks. 163 TEXT The Text is the undergraduate newspaper at the Institute. First published in 1919 by an energetic group of college students, it has continually striven to record the diversified activities of campus life as well as give informative views on current events of unusual inter- est. It accomplishes this end by way of: news items, discussions on various topics, faculty interviews, and a thorough coverage of the social, political and athletic activities at the school. Saul Perlman was again elected to the position of Editor-in-Chief to carry on the traditions of the Text for the 1960 school year. Elected to help Saul were: Leonard Frank as Managing Editor, Herbert Zarit- sky as Business Manager and Alan Kaplan as News Editor. Bob Davis and Lee Woodworth again took up the duties as Sports Editors. Mike Lubov did a commendable job as Photography Editor as did Aram Jeknavorian as Rewrite Editor. During the year, the Text experienced changes that were designed to enhance its value as a collegiate newspaper. Layout was continually revised with the end goal being the attainment of a fresh, but con- sistent format. Close cooperation with the Institute ' s Director of In- formation, Miss Barbara Browne, was exercised in efforts to keep fresh and noteworthy news on the pages oi the Text. Photography was utilized to a great extent to exemplify and depict the activities and newsmaking events at LTI. In the features department, items of in- terest and interviews with faculty members were stressed, as well as the bi-weekly inclusion of a report on Student Council activities.

Lafleur, D. Eisen Mike Lubov Walter Green Dana Peterson Professor Louis Block Miss Barbara Browne and Professor John R. Sanders The annual Pink Issue was once again pub- lished on April Fool ' s Day. To the delight of the student body it again made fun and mischievous comment on various campus personalities. The publication of each issue of the Text has entailed long hours of writing and rewriting, con- tinual efforts to make the deadlines, and numerous conferences and discussions as to layout and organ- ization of the paper. Filled with its vexing as well as rewarding moments, it can be readily seen that experience and association with a college newspaper enchance a student ' s appreciation of collegiate life and the activities that are part of it. It is sincerely felt by the editors and members of the staff that participation of the Text has enriched one ' s college life in the important principles and better ideas that go with making a better student, and a better citizen. 165 166 167 SPORTS 168 SOCCER Soccer is the only important fall sport at L.T.I. This season, under Head Coach Lester Cushing and his assistant, Jim Oliver, the internationally flavored team had a rather rough time of it. Mr. Cushing replaced former Coach Dave Morey who has started a football team at Curry College and is presently head football coach there. This year ' s squad contained 13 returning players and 17 newcomers. Among the veterans were Co-Captains Jose Iurita and Jan Wilczynski along with Pete Haft, Arturo Waler- stein, Barlas Sumer, Doug Potts, and ' Skip ' Demont. Some of the new men were George Duggan, Ed Diharce, Jerry Lyons, and Bob Ryan. First Row: Sumer, B.; Moutal, M.; Irurita, J.; Wilczynski, J.; Haft, P.

Third Row: Fontaine, R.; Rosenlund, D.; DeMont, W.; Abodeely, R.; Ruben, M. kK 170 The team was unfortunate in that it lost five members before the season got under way, and was left with 26 mem- bers including five who are absolutely new and five with rather limited experience. One interesting fact regarding the team is that this year about two-thirds of the players are from the United States, and only one-third from foreign countries. J| 1 Next years ' Co-Captains will be Barlas Sumer and Benjamin Beja. The 1960 fall schedule follows: Sept. 28 University of Hartford Home Oct. 1 Colby Home 4 Babson Home 8 Bowdoin Away 15 Clark Away 22 Norwich Home 26 Worcester Tech Away Nov. 2 Brandeis Home A game with New Bedford Tech is yet to be scheduled. After this unsuccessful season one glimmer of hope remains: the team is comprised of only a handful of Seniors with the vast majority either Frosh or Sophs. As the group gains experience, the team should put together a winning combination. GOLF This relatively young sport at Lowell Tech has come in- to its own in the past few years. Many eager men try out for this spring activity and an ambitious team is sure to be com- piled from these applicants. Coach Rogers has a stiff sched- ule lined up and the boys really have their work cut out for them. Competition opens April 15, when Tufts comes to Lowell. The rest of the schedule is as follows: 21 Bowdoin at Lowell 22 Babson at Lowell 28 Clark at Lowell 30 Bates at Lewiston 9 New Hampshire at Durham 17 Worcester Tech at Worcester April May As in other years. Techmen will enter the New England Intercollegiate Tournament which runs May 6 through 8 this year. The team is really a going group which plays to win and usually does. o 1 ( l - BASKETBALL Coach Jim Oliver has had all odds against him this year, the loss of Carl Brune, Tech ' s stellar shot, and other veter- ans: Joe St. Germain, Don Cragg, and Fred Poznick. In fact, Mr. Oliver had but two returning players — John Zinna and Warren ' Skip ' Demont. For a while it was doubted that .a team could be recruited at all, but Coach Oliver won an overwhelming vote of confidence when, on October 15, a large, indeed for Tech, a gigantic number of men turned out to try for the team. Since this year the team is without a center of noteworthy height, the Coach is concentrating on speed and hustle, and considering the material he has had to work with is accom- plishing wonders. Basil ' Babe ' Dixon, having been returned to the team, is a most effective player along with newcomers Byra, Forbes, Hookway, Haller, and Chingros. The entire team is striving for victory and, since it is a team composed mainly of Freshmen and Sophomores, the Coach is looking forward to building a tremendously successful future. The complete 59-60 schedule follows: First Row: Longo R., Hookway K., Pappadopoulas C, Shih W., Hunt J. Second Row: Haller C, Mahoney R., Laliberte D., Lambroukas G. Third Row: 01iver J.

Suffolk Merrimack College Tufts Babson New Bedford Suffolk (CONT ' D) Home Home Home AFROTC BASKETBALL The AFROTC basketball team was off to its slowest start since the team was organized in 1957. The record to date is 3 wins and 4 losses. The first game was played against the 1st Naval District and the final score was 59-55 in favor of the Navy. The Cadets missed 10 out of 13 foul shots and nothing more need be said. The second game was played during the Military Ball weekend against the Tufts AFROTC and once again the Cadets came out on the short end of the score 59-57. but this time it was a loss in double overtime. Once again, inaccuracy at the foul line caused the Cadet ' s downfall. The third game pitted the LTI flyers against a power- laden college-player studded Hanscom AFB. and the final score read Hanscom 90, LTI 50. When the Cadets took on Boston College Army ROTC. it, looked like another defeat as BC roarded to a commanding 17 point halftime lead. With but five minutes to go, LTl was still down by nine points, but when the final totals were in, the score read LTI First Row: Parness B., Gingras G., Sciacca T., Garrity T., Bersford R. Second Row: Vona F., Pushee D., Haskell R., Lombardi Sgt. 47 and BC 40, a great team effort. A second straight victory was gathered at the expense of a week MIT AFROTC 65-32. The following week the Cadets took it on the chin once again from the 1st Naval District as the sailors poured it on 82-57. The third victory came on 9 Feb. 60 with a thrilling 78- 63 win over a very much improved MIT team. It was a close game at the half with the Cadets leading 33-30, but superior bench strength and the sharp shooting of Gerry Gingras, the Cadets pulled it out. With the season half over, things should start looking better. Remaining games include MIT. Tufts. Boston College. Boston University, and two with Holy Cross. Next year ' s team will be led by Gerry Gingras. Gerry has been the team ' s leading scorer for two years and he should fare equally well next year. This is the final season for Coach Norm Lombardi, he will leave the Institution this year. Next year ' s coach has not been announced as of yet. 177 TENNIS With such veterans as Ray Ved, and Tom Kane, Coach Steve Bodor has high hopes for his Tennis Team. These re- turning lettermen along with new volunteers should provide a capable, and with the right breaks, a winning combination. Work is being completed on the Institute ' s home courts and it is hoped that they will be in shape for this season. Plans are being formulated for a Tennis Club on the campus so that those who are interested in this sport can continue on a year-round basis. The 1960 schedule is as follows : April 23 Assumption Home 26 Clark Home 27 Babson Home 30 Bates Lewiston May 5 Merrimack No. Andover 7 Stonehill Home 10 Worcester Tech Home 14 Keene Teachers Keene 18 Nichols Home This is a tight, hard-hitting schedule, and the boys will have an uphill fight all the way. GIRL ' S BASKETBALL TEAM With the loss of high scorer, Carole Harper, Georgia Dadoly, and the expert guard, Gigi Long, the Terrierettes have had a rough season. Only five players have returned — Capt. Phyllis Healy, Rita McGurn, Shirley Bilodeau, Carole Ward, and Estelle Guilbault. The rest of the team is composed of Frosh and upperclassmen who have not played as a team. In spite of this, the girls have a great spirit and determination to win. However, in their first few outings they have not been successful. But as soon as the individuals are molded into a team, which could be any game now, Coach Bessie Shi- lenski will find a combination that will be hard to beat. First row.

There will also be a stockpile of new recruits to choose from, but the backbone of the team will be provided by Co-Capt. Stan Salwa, Dick L ' Heureux, Dave Donaghue, George Cunha, George LaLiberte, and the other ' stand-bys.
