DEDICATION Mr. Shapiro graduated from Lowell Tech in June of 1956 with high honors in Textile Engineering. He received his S.M. from MIT in June of ' 58 for Industrial Management. He joined the teaching staff of Tech in January of ' 62 in the Depart- ment of Economics and Management and was transferred to the Department of Mathematics as of February of ' 64. Mr. Shapiro has been actively working for, and with, the students for the eight years he has taught here and is currently serving as the Chairman of the Institute Goals Committee, a member of the Stu- dent Discipline Procedures Committee and the Institute Council, the Advisor to the Student Council, and the coach of the Varsity Lacrosse team, as well as con- ducting a physical fittness class in which faculty and students may participate. Therefore, we, the staff of the 1970 Pickout and this year ' s graduating class, dedicate this book to Assistant Professor Bernie Shapiro. jH 1 1 1 1 ■ ■ 1 , 1 1 f : ' ! if HT57 BSBK: i II in retrospect Now that it is over, can you remember: When you became Freshman. (e v dy dx). You are a light house, you are a ship. Freshman — where is your pin! And the first time you ran into Calculas. Chemistry and Physics. When a pan balance looked like some- thing out of Jules Verne. When your lab partner did all of the labs, or made you do them all. When you used English-lecture hour for lunch. Einstien and his theory of what? Pierce ' s who?? When they started a nuclear center — or was it a pool. When Hank Brown was everyone ' s hero of the basketball court. When Tech Players carried on in The Sandbox . When AVS showed great movies — if the projector worked. When you took exams and exams and exams and exams . . . -.- ' ' ?:?? ' : ' ..•■ — - ' : ? iiS ii; « i il i::| ijlf I When you filled in the forms — and the other sides; presented your slip from the Bursar; smiled at the man and his camera and were in. At least some made it back. When you got revenge on the new Frosh. But who got the worst of it after all? When they seemed to be breathing in the organic lab. protesting When you tried to do your Differential on the Boulevard. (No wonder you flunked!) When Moody St. got a face lift (or a reasonable facsimile thereof). When they closed the bridge up river and Textile Ave. looked like Indianapolis. (Would you believe beautiful downtown Burbank?) When our baseball team finally had a place to play — for whatever good that did. When those guys with their toys and tapes first appeared on Dennett Mall. 10 ■ l. - • ' . - - ' ' ' „ . f ; ' ■■ ' Ss ' ]j . ■ ■■ . . li H P ■ ' .. ' t . ' ._ i- i ' 7 ' ' A ' -.

When you returned from three months of sun and fun (which course did you make up that summer?) and found — final- ly that your first class was not at eight in the morning. When Mr. Softee was the big social event of the day. When you helped with a cloudy should it be unfocussed — Upstream Day. When Leitch Hall acquired a cafeteria; and you ate any place else. Maybe at the cake sales of the Sorority or the Student ' s Wives Club or the Cheerleaders? When you mixed No-Doz with your torpedos from the 94 . When, after waiting two years to park in the Riverside lot, they told you it was now for Seniors only. When you spent four hours in your respective labs with your respective resi- dent grouches. 11 12 When you came back to a school build- ing that had undergone a metamorphosis. Now you could sit through a class in the place where there used to be all those cool machines for making booties. And the Bookstore was moved to a new loca- tion — this is an improvement? When you could go to class in the nuclear center. But what color did they eventually decide on for the reactor shell? When you witnessed or participated in Tech ' s largest exhibition to date of mass thought on October 15. When you visited the mouths of in- dustry and bragged your way to a secondary and probably a job. And your friends did not recognize you underneath that tie and shirt. When the new library was more com- plete than the nuclear center and sched- uled to open in Februray. 13 — 1 B „.H..4 ,,,, 0, 32 jtt fc tW 14 And you have seen many artistic people perform in Cumnock Hall and Costello Gym: The Four Seasons; Sam and Dave; Peter, Paul and Mary; Dione Warwick; and more. And you have felt the loss of many great men: Dean Ivers ( Look to the left, look to the right . . . ), Colonel Vacanti, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and others. And you have met many capable men and women in your four years here at Tech. Some of the best men in your field teach here; and sometimes it seems some of the worst also. Has it all been worth it? Only the years to come will tell. And all saw and heard one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind , the event that seemed to parallel the four year step you were taking. And you have — finally — graduated with some of the closest friends you will ever have. College years are a time for learning, about yourself as well as the things outside you. A time of change and a time to know there are others that are changing with you. A time for fun and a time for what seems the hardest work you will ever do. But the work does not end with graduation, nor does the changing. In ten years or so, when you are looking back, I hope you will be able to find the person you were — in retrospect. 15 16 17 student life in 18 i , HE 1 g J 19 20 21 22 23 t 25 26 27 in memonam COL.

The horrors of war and will it ever end; student revolts and what are their mean- ing: man ' s inhumanity to man and WHY; the senseless killings — RFK and Dr. MLK and its ramifications; the racial strife and where are we going; and society ' s chang- ing values and the generation gap. During the past four years we have been exposed to many and varied real life situations, many and varied types of personalities — students — faculty — admin- istrators, and as a result our own ideas, ideals, philosophies and personalities have changed. Thank you L.T.I, for helping to shape and to solidify these images. For, unlike before, we are now aware, we are sensi- tive to the feelings of others, we do truly care and we are understanding. We no longer can be considered members of the silent majority, for we have learned our lessons well. Yes, as educated men and women, as graduates, we are now ready to assume our place — a positive, active and responsible place — in the world community. 132 The ideas put into this book are pre- sented pictorially, more emphasis has been put on people rather than just places; on expression, rather than just on objects; but people, students, youth — just being candidly themselves in all areas of student life. We do not want our book, in ten years, to be a dead picture book of a dream world Lowell Tech, but more a real memory holding also the dreams we have now in 1970. We would like to express appreciation to the following people for helping us to keep the book going: Dean King, for his assistance; James S. Donohoe, Faculty Advisor; Joseph Donovan, Win. J. Keller Representative, for his help and patience. Special thanks to the rest of the staff for their time and assistance throughout the year. Congratulations to the Class of 1970.

Its goal is to help its members ' round out ' their training with a compre- hensive and dynamic program to help them prepare for, and fully appreciate, their chosen careers. This is accom- plished through regular meetings, movies and a program of selected speakers from industry and the teaching profession. Under the auspices of the local National Chapter actual participation in industry- wide dinner-meetings and conventions is made available to each member. The Chapter takes pride also in its so- cial functions; The annual Dinner Dance and Spring Outing Safari ' where its over a hundred members together with faculty members enjoy the academic and social rewards of the year. 135 ill • K aas S H TO? l fey R fi 136 Angel Flight is an honorary national organization sponsored by Arnold Air Society of the AFROTC. Angel Flight is dedicated to promoting interest in the USAF, obtaining informa- tion concerning military services, and aid- ing in the progress of the Arnold Air Soci- ety. Here at the local level the Col. Charles L. Vacanti Flight tries to fulfill its duties by working with AAS in such activities as monthly visits to the Bedford Veterans Hospital with the Military Order of the Purple Heart, an annual outing with chil- dren from a local orphanage and visits to the wounded at Fort Devans. Last year three Angels attended the National Conclave in New Orleans and this year the Flight hopes to send several girls to the National Conclave in Ana- heim, California. Angel Flight is not, however, purely- military. While fulfilling her other duties, each Angel has a full and busy social life that tends to draw the group closer to- gether. anf 137 mi society The Industrial Management Society functions to broaden the social and man- agerial interests of students enrolled in Industrial Management. Plant tours, din- ner meetings, guest speakers, an annual Christmas party and golf tournament comprise a balanced program of profes- sional and social activities. Members have the opportunity to see practical applications of textbook principles, meet their professors in an informal atmo- sphere, and improve social relations with other students. President Daniel Donovan Vice-President David Westcott Treasurer Douglas Stalker Secretary Walter Marcella Advisor S. Brackston Hinchey 138 sam The University Chapter of The Society for Advancement of Management is dedi- cated to the development of Tomorrow ' s managers today. The immediate objec- tives of the group are: to bring together executives in business and students prepar- ing to go into business; to serve as an effective medium for the exchange and distribution of information on the prob- lems, policies, and techniques of manage- ment and industry; and to provide students with the opportunity to partici- pate in the activities of an organization aimed at the promotion and advance- ment of the art and science of manage- ment. The faculty adviser is Dr. T. Macbeth. Sophomore, Junior and Senior students of economics, business administration, engineering and others with a sincere in- terest in management may apply for membership. Current activities have in- cluded dinner-meetings highlighting speakers from various areas of the busi- ness world, plant tours, the publication of a newsletter, management periodicals and monthly attendance at Boston Chap- ter Meetings. 139 alpine club 140 The Alpine Club provides Lowell Tech with a variety of outdoor activities, the hope of which is to induce a greater appreciation of our greatest resource, na- ture. Perhaps, Alpine Club ' s greatest as- set is the sense of acomplishment one gets from an event well done, whether it be shooshing the slopes of Mt. Sugarloaf, climbing Mt. Washington the highest peak in New England, or scaling the cliffs of Cannon Mt. The club ' s largest event is an annual semester break ski trip. We have been all over New Eng- land on ski trips, from the windblown and rock slopes of Cannon, to Stowe ' s green grassy slopes, to the isolation of Sugarloaf. Once winter has passed and the skiers have finally been satisfied, mountain climbing is again allowed into the forefront. It ' s off to conquer the Pres- idential, the Lafayette Ridge, and the isolation of Katadin. 141 Chinese students ' circle The Chinese Students ' Circle was re- organized at L.T.I, in 1967 and at the pres- ent time it claims a membership of fifty. The aims of the Circle are to foster friendship among its members and to create an interest in the extra-curricular activities of the Circle among the other members of the student body. The Circle ' s policy is to organize as much extra-curricular activities as pos- sible for its members. During recent years picnics, dinner parties and sight- seeing tours have been the highlights. Ef- forts are also made to arrange joint func- tions with Chinese Students ' Clubs from other colleges. Although Chinese Students ' Circle is mainly a Chinese organization, students of other nationality, interested in learn- ing other aspects of oriental life and his- tory, are welcomed to participate in all the Chinese Students ' Circle sponsored activities. 142 acs The Student Affiliate of the American Chemical Society at Lowell Technologi- cal Institute was originally founded in 1962 when the former Chemistry Club received the A.C.S. charter. Since then the Society has evolved into one of the most prominent organizations on the campus due to the increase in the num- ber of students in chemistry. The A.C.S. helps broaden the knowl- edge of the students by means of guest speakers from industry and various col- leges and universities. Likewise the nu- merous films, field trips and demonstra- tions at the club ' s meetings helps to fa- miliarize the students with all aspects of chemistry. At the same time the A.C.S. also provides the opportunity for students and faculty to meet on an other than academic basis by means of Christ- mas parties, banquets, and faculty- student basketball 2ames. 143 144 f- .. r w r T ™ - J « a i ' V Since its formation in October 1968, the Veterans Club has aided more than two hundred veterans in the transition from military to academic life. The principal objective of the club is to keep LTI veterans informed of the increasing number of educational and fi- nancial benefits offered by the state and federal government and to assist the student veteran in obtaining these bene- fits. This year the Veterans Club has started to actively participate in academ- ic and non-academic areas which are of interest to the institute and its student body. The officers for the 1969-1970 academ- ic year are as follows: President Wayne Moore Vice-President John Beigel Secretary Russell Mitchell Treasurer Robert Richards Adviser John MacLaughlan 145 phanar The Phanar Club is open to Eastern Orthodox students from the greater Lowell Colleges. It has as its purpose the desire to foster the spiritual as well as the social and intellectual growth of its members. Among the social activities held are a Communion Sunday, an annual dance, a fruit basket drive at Christmas, a theatre party, a ski trip, a beach party, and an annual banquet. 146 President George J.

In the six years of its existence, the Association has been quite active; major activities include guest speakers, tours, and dinner meetings. The main purpose of the group is to fos- ter the image of the textile industry through publicity, interest, and the ad- vancement of textile sciences. Membership is open to all interested students. President Christopher J. Pentheny Vice-President Herbert M. Hawkins Secretary David C. Kennedy Treasurer Stephen W. Hatherley Advisor Prof. John A. Goodwin Service is the key word for the Circle K Club. Rendering altruistic service to Campus, Com- munity, and Country is the sole reason for the club ' s existence. Each year the club takes on many worthwhile service projects. Circle K conducts school tours, tutors in three local schools, participates in the upward-bound program in Lowell, coordinates and directs freshman orientation, conducts nu- merous drives such as the heart fund, blood drive and cancer drive. In addition, the club publishes the student handbook — the Key, and coat-checks at many school functions thru the year. The Circle K Club is an international organi- zation open to all male students interested in ser- vice. Each year club members attend the inter- national convention and the New England District Convention. Over the last few years, the club has established itself as one of the strongest and most active in the New England district. In addition, the club has received national recognition for some of its projects. 149 photo club 150 The student chapter of the AMS is a new organization on campus, not concep- tually but physically. The concept of a me- teorological organization at Tech began in April, 1969, when the national AMS in Boston approved our chapter and officially granted to Tech a student chaptership. Though the formation of an actual phys- ical organization at Tech has been slow, progress is being made and it is hoped that the LTI Weather Center will soon be of service to the students and school. The chapter has supported such activi- ties as the daily weather forecast groups which forecast the weather for the local area on our school radio station, WLTI. This is not only a service to the school but also gives to the students actual practice in synoptic meteorology. Another service which the chapter hopes to begin soon will be a film service which will show students and interested public films dealing with all aspects of meteorology to stimulate in- terest in the atmospheric sciences and to generally increase the public ' s awareness of problems and advancements in the field of meteorology. As a new organization the AMS Chap- ter has room for growth and development and increasing student interest, as has been shown, the achievements and activi- ties of the chapter should increase propor- tionately. ams 151 The Society of Plastics Engineers, Student Chapter, is one of the most ac- tive professional organizations on cam- pus. The society holds three dinner meet- ings and a number of coffee and doughnut meetings to meet socially and technically with prominent men of the plastics industry. This year the society held its second annual Career Night . The purpose of this function is to give the members of the society an insight into the various fields which are available to plastics engi- neers. The society has undertaken, for the sec- ond year, a program to help place under- graduates in Plastics Technology in summer jobs in plastics related fields. As a grand finale, the society also sponsors an outing at the end of the school year which is throughly enjoyed by all members of the society. 152 153 asme The L.T.I. Section of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was es- tablished in September of 1954. Member- ship is limited to students enrolled in an engineering curriculum accredited by the Engineers ' Council for Professional De- velopment. The purpose of ASME is the advance- ment and dissemination of knowledge of the theory and practice of mechanical engineering, the presentation of a proper perspective of engineering work, and the opportunity to become acquainted with the personnel and activities of the Society as well as promote a professional aware- ness and fellowship. Membership puts the student in touch with leaders of every major branch of mechanical engineering. At section meet- ings he meets others with similar inter- ests, and has the privilege of attending national division conferences, general so- ciety meetings, as well as the regional student conference held at a college in the New England Region. 154 indian students ■ The Indian Students ' Association en- deavors to unify the Indian students cul- turally and socially. It seeks to promote good fellowship and better understanding between the people of India and the United States, through cultural, social and scholastic activities on and outside the campus. The Association, one of the most ac- tive on Campus, is symbolized by a series of activities, such as Diwali Night (Indian New Year ' s Eve Party), India night, exhibitions, movies, etc., depicting the social and cultural life in India. Prof. Frederic Burtt and Prof. James Lillis are the advisors to the Association. 155 pistol rifle club L.T.I. ' s Pistol Rifle Club is operated under a three phase program consisting of recreational shooting, team inter- collegiate competition. The program is di- rected under President Robert C. Kuzcek and competitive advisor Maurice Smith. Also on the staff of range officers are assistants Michael Imparato and Steve Ginsberg. All Lowell Tech students and faculty are invited to participate in this recreational sport. Superior marksmen may qualify for the inter-collegiate pro- gram and compete against surrounding college and universities. Serving as fac- ulty advisor is professor A. James Oliver. 156 The national honor society of Pershing Rifles is dedicated to the encouragement, preservation, and development of the highest ideals of the military profession. Since the formation of Squadron N-12 at Lowell Tech in 1962, the society has increased enormously in both size and potential. The highlight of this year was the acquisition of a house to provide liv- ing quarters for the forty-two brothers of the society. Squadron N- 2 can now truly offer its membership a social life compa- rable to any fraternity. During the Spring semester, the drill teams take to the floor in such states as New York, Washington and Connecticut. The Fall semester pledging period pre- pares the new brothers in military cus- toms and operations and is climaxed by Hell Week in which much work is done on the house.

Epsilon Zeta, LTI ' s chapter of this association, was estab- lished in December of 1964. Some of the functions of the local chapter include: high school on campus day exhibitions, assignment of pledge projects with the basic objective to aid the EE department, running help classes for aspiring EE students, informal student-faculty interaction at social events, and representing Epsilon Zeta at the Northeastern Regional Conference. Professor James Powers, our chapter advisor, shares the responsibilities with the society ' s officers: Roger Brown, Richard Bostwick, Joseph McClintock, David Wallace, Laurent Henry, Michael Chwalek and James Sciabarrasi. 158 students ' wives Formally organized in 1962, the Students ' Wives Club has grown from a few to a very active membership. Potential members are often new to the area with family and friends in dis- tant cities or states. Husbands have little free time away from studies and since wives often work and have small chil- dren to care for, there is limited opportu- nity to seek out new friends and inter- ests. Here the Wives Club purpose comes into focus; sharing a special main interest: a student husband. Informative programs are planned rang- ing from creative workshop to education- al lectures such as drug abuse and the stock market. Where to go and what to do in the area, jobs, and tips of all sorts are but a few services offered. Membership is open to wives of all full-time undergraduates and graduate students. Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month during the school year. 159 international students — _ HI S: ; I ph. : 1 The International Students Circle was formed to promote good fellowship and a better international understanding through cultural, social, and scholastic activities among the students at the Insti- tute. Activities include celebration of United Nations Day, Commonwealth of Massachusetts International Students Day, trips to points of interest, and in addition, members frequently serve as speakers on many programs outside the Institute. All students from foreign lands and any interested students of the Institute may join the organization. 160 The Latin American Society was es- tablis hed to unify the students of Latin American countries, culturally and so- cially, and to render assistance to Lowell Tech students newly arrived from Span- ish speaking countries. The Society together with other so- cieties in college of the Boston area and the Pan American Society of New Eng- land, holds lectures with leading Latin American political figures. Many topics in these lectures are focused on the devel- opment of Latin American countries, which are of interest to American as well as Latin American Students. Activities also include meetings, trips, dances, and dinners. Members have frequently served as speakers outside the institute. latin american students 161 The American Society of Tool and Manufacturing Engineers serves the pro- fessional needs of tool and manufacturing engineers throughout the world as a non- profit educational and scientific institu- tion. The A.S.T.M.E. student chapter offers the student member the opportunity to participate in educational and technical programs that advance his professional development. Through A.S.T.M.E. mem- bership the student may sample and ex- plore the engineering disciplines — and their related functions — encompassed in the field of manufacturing. To achieve this goal the student chap- ter presents technical and non-technical speakers, films and demonstrations, plant tours, and sponsors on-campus confer- ences. The Merrimac Valley Chapter No. 113 presents annually the J. Arthur Ains- worth Memorial Scholarship to an out- standing member of the Society. The Student Chapter also awards several scholarships each year. astme varsity club 162 The Audio Visual Society is one of Lowell Tech ' s largest organizations. Serving as the school ' s A-V Depart- ment, operating Lighting and Audio Equipment, as well as running WLTI- FM, are only some of the functions of the A.V.S. The A-V Services Division hopes to be able to renew the bi-weekly presentations of feature movies in the near future, as well as serving the students and faculty. The Tech Services Division is respon- sible for the maintenance and the con- struction of equipment for the A.V.S. This division, with the A-V Services Di- vision, will be responsible for preparing musical programs as well as maintaining the listening areas of the new addition to the library. November 26, 1967 at 4 P.M., WLTI began serving L.T.I, and the greater Lowell area as an educational FM radio station. A stereo signal is planned for the near future as soon as the move into the new library facilities is completed. avs 163 THE TEXT Published bimonthly during the college year, except on holidays or during vacation by the undergraduates of Lowell Technological Institute, Textile Avenue, Lowell, Massachusetts.

Speakers on topics of interest to the Ama- teur Radio Club are featured at periodic intervals throughout the school year. Membership is open to all students. For the licensed member, the club radio sta- tion WA1JUY is available for use at any- time. Code and theory classes are held for those who wish to obtain their ticket or advance to the higher classes. 169 Briefly stated, the broad goals of the American Nuclear Society are the encour- agement of all phases of nuclear science and technology and the quick in- terchange of information which is related to this vast field. In the formative college years, the exchange of information, dis- cussion and even argument with other disciples is most invaluable. Thus, the student chapter serves as the focal point for the dissemination of this material. To further these objectives the LTI chapter has undertaken to promote professional development of its members by its programs and its relationship to the increasing nuclear technology at Lowell Tech. ans 170 The Lowell Tech Sports Car Club was founded as a social organization for those who enjoy motoring sports. Throughout the school year the club holds many of its main sporting events, namely the Rallye . A Rallye is not a road race, and does not require the en- trants to drive a sports car. Rather, it is a driving event which requires each team (composed of a driver and a navigator) to follow a set of unrehearsed directions over ordinary, sometimes extraordinary country roads. Usually the most scenic roads are used. The objective is to follow the directions without getting lost, and to maintain the average speeds given in the instructions. A Rallye is never too com- plicated to be enjoyable, but never that simple that a novice can win by luck. sports car club 171 hillel The B ' nai B ' rith Hillel Consularship conducts and promotes a series of activi- ties that enrich the Jewish student cultur- ally, religiously and socially. Numerous guest lecturers and discussion seminars are presented throughout the year. These dis- cussions have stimulated thinking into many interesting topics concerned mainly with the Jewish history, the Bible and Is- raeli current events. Although Hillel is basically a Jewish organization, students of other faiths are invited to join if they are interested in broadening their knowl- edge of the Jewish Religion and Jewish people. iona fellowship The Iona Fellowship is made up of the Protestant students from LTI, LSC, and LGH. Although the main purpose of the Iona group is Christian fellowship and more meaningful worship, we also hold various activities of a recreational nature. 172 sps $ $ MMLS M r The Society of Physics Students (SPS). formerly the AIP, was in its first year after its reorganization. The society also sponsors field trips, films, and lectures by prominent physicists as well as social events. Funds are also made available whenever possible for financing under- graduate research. Jerry Kindness and Mona Anton built a gas laser under a Bendix Corp. grant. This was the third Bendix Award to Lowell Tech physics students in recent years. A chapter of Sigma Pi Sigma, the phys- ics honor society, was established as an integral part of the SPS. Thirty chapter members from the faculty, graduate school, and classes of 1967 and 1968 were installed at the November dinner- dance. 173 skin diving club The Lowell Tech Skindiving Club was organized in 1964 to provide a means by which the students at Tech could plan and execute dives as a group. However, the Club recognized that there were others who were not ac- quainted with, but interested in the sport. We have set up a program to in- struct anyone interested in diving. We also wish to interest club members on major events in underwater tech- nology. 174 , | J.

' r 210 211 AK Delta Kappa Phi Fraternity was founded in 1899 at the Philadelphia Col- lege of Textiles and Science. The Beta Chapter was installed at Lowell Techno- logical Institute in 1902. Since its modest beginning, DK has grown to a small na- tional social fraternity which includes schools of engineering, science, and lib- eral arts. At Lowell Tech, Beta Chapter takes full advantage of the relative in- dependence and mutual cooperation of a small national. The Brothers of DK acquire a well- rounded character development by follow- ing the long established tenets of the fraternity. Numbered among these are the promotion and encouragement of a fraternal relationship by its members in their respective fields of study. 212 DK men are also active participants in the extracurriculum here at Tech; this year finding prominence in varsity sports, as officers and leaders of various campus organizations and as active members of nearly all student societies. As in years past, this year there were quite a few improvements made to the House. Among the outstanding ones were enlarging our parking lot, remodel- ing of our cellar party facilities, built-in couch in the T.V. room and a complete renovation of our front lawn. All of this was successfully accomplished through the dedicated efforts of brothers and pledges during our Help Week period. First semester found all our traditional social events. Our IFC weekend theme was Greeks , which couldn ' t have been more appropriate. The weekend began when our large purple and white chariot Belt a fappa hi (with mag wheels) rolled into Cumnock Hall and ended with DK winning the coveted choral trophy. The Brotherhood also looks back on the rest of the school year which in- cluded great parties, sports competition, the satisfaction of scholastic achieve- ment, service to the community, and a rich and rewarding Brotherhood. These are the things which form warm memo- ries for all the men of Delta Kappa Phi. 214 Consul Peter Baglioni Pro-Consul Robert Beloff Custodian Raymond Champi Annotator Mark Strum Scribe Anthony Olender Sgt. at Arms Robert Bowen IFC Rep.

Conceived in the spring of 1968, recognized as Alpha Epsilon local in the fall of 1968, and installed into Kappa Sigma on May 17, 1969, we initiated our first pledge class this winter and will un- dergo our first matriculation this June. The experiences which are held within the hearts of all our brothers can not be expressed in words as the founders and charter members move on to the reward- ing professional lives which await them. All hold most dearly that the pride of the outstanding membership the new chapter house and the outstanding progress which Kappa Sigma has made in it ' s short exist- ence. 217 Kappa Sigma brothers are found in all walks of campus life, from the Student Council to varsity athletics and the Dean ' s List, and all areas in between. Also, the brothers of Kappa Sigma have been very active in the community, aiding many non- profit service organizations. It is this di- versity of talent and interests which is the hallmark of our existence. It is our way of life. The brothers of Kappa Sigma would like to take this time and space to honor our graduating brothers for their outstand- ing efforts and contributions to the estab- lishment of a long-lasting addition to the fraternity system at Lowell Tech and the furtherance of brotherhood and for mak- ing our existence possible.

Choosing to remain independent, O Pi was founded with the intention of promoting brother- hood and forming a society of men having common ideals and interests. Its strong and loyal alumni take their places in the military, the arts and sciences, and the academic professions. Every year those who are able to do so return to O Pi for the annual Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners to reminisce with the active chap- ter. The active chapter, however, has quite a bit to recall, on its own. September and Hell Week brought the pledges and the house began to take on a new look. The brothers caught the wallpapering bug and few rooms escaped the paste and paper treatment. After Hell Week came formal initiation and the pledge party, a sample of what was in store for the first big week- end of the year — IFC. This year ' s IFC will be long remembered as the brothers accepted the coveted volleyball and foot- ball trophies in the garb of their theme, Li ' l Abner and Daisy Mae. All-Tech weekend started off the sec- ond semester in fine form and with the coming of the annual Monte Carlo date party the rushing season was in full swing. With May came formal weekend, the in- stallation of new officers, and the making of memories that will be cherished for years to come. So another year has passed and another group of O Pi brothers has gone, but the memories of the last few years, of the good times and the bad, will always remain close to our hearts. 220 221 222 223 $r r Phi Gamma Psi is an independent fra- ternity dedicated to the promotion of brotherhood through an indissoluble tie of friendship based upon the worth of the individual as a human being. Our heritage at Lowell Tech. extends back to 1904, with our first sixty-one years being the Gamma Chapter of the national Phi Psi. In an effort to further the Brotherhood and to fulfill a social need, the Alpha Chapter of Phi Gamma Psi was origi- nated. As a totally self-governed organiza- tion, free of the national commitment and expense, we are able to concentrate our efforts on the intellectual, physical and social development of the Brotherhood. This year started with the traditional Hell Week during which twenty-five new brothers were initiated into the Chap- ter. The following Saturday evening was the pledge party celebration which touched off a series of first semester par- ties around which our social life was cen- tered. Next came our alumni weekend 224 which was highlighted by the traditional battle on the grid-iron between the alumni and the active Brotherhood. Following this was the memorable alumni reunion party. The remainder of the semester was highlighted by I.F.C. Weekend, during which the Wild Men of Phi Psi emerged from the Gamma Cave to hunt down wild creatures of the Bush. Christmas was cele- brated with a parly for needy children at which our unpadded Santa, Bumbles, spread cheer and gifts. The New Years Party brought the memorable first semes- ter to an end. 225 Q i WlM i B ' ™ljpj 1 .Jvt wB% %HVi 226 During the second semester, the doors of the house were open to all rushees and as usual, Phi Psi parties were the best on campus. Early spring started with a Phi Psi Picnic and wine fest. The social calen- dar closed with the annual Spring Week- end, during which well deserved awards were presented to brothers for their out- standing accomplishments of the past year. Thus the conclusion of another eventful and prosperous year, we at Phi Psi would like to thank Alumni, school officials, and friends for making the year a success. 227 $2P In 1937, the sorority was founded un- der the name Phlame the letter designat- ing the names of the original members. In 1948, the sorority took the name of Phi Sigma Rho. It was the first organiza- tion on campus established to band to- gether the women of the institute. Phi Sigma RJio promotes recreation for the members and renders social services to the community. 1969-1970 We ' ve come a long way, baby . . . all the way to our first trophy! . . . and almost to a first house (sigh) . . .

We rounded the year off with some successful fire sales , initiation of an Intra-Sorority Council and are left with the unsolved mystery of the TEDDY BEAR. Finally, this year marked the end of our existence as the only sorority at Lowell Tech. We extend a warm wel- come to the sisters of Beta Tau and we hope to work constructively together in the newly formed I.S.C. Good Luck to both of us. 231 HA$ The Massachusetts Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity was born on June 23, 1920. For the first twenty-nine years Alpha Epsilon func- tioned as a part of Sigma Omega Psi and more recently as a local fraternity. In 1949, the chapter was installed in Massa- chusetts Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Pi Lambda Phi Fraternity with residence at The House on the Hill at 77 Livingston Avenue. On campus, Pilam has been extremely active both collectively and individually, being a traditional contender for the I.F.C. scholastic and intraathletic trophies throughout the years. In other extra-cur- ricular activities, its Fraters can be found as leaders in many organizations. This past year the house saw a few changes that resulted in the physical bet- terment of the house. During pledging this year, the house trim was repainted and the back parking lot was paved, giving us many more parking spaces. Pilam has had a successful year in many respects. The spirit and willingness of the brothers to cooperate has resulted in an atmosphere of goodwill that has per- vaded throughout the year. Our parties, alumni reunions, teas, etc. have all meant a good time and many fine memories for all. 232 233 f t. ™4 r« • ■ ; CI t J :, i i ■ ,! 4flk 4  . -Of r W«.« ' ■• £ . 1 £B « 1 i r jm • I I J £ 1 yi.
