; The Nineteen Hundred and Forty-Nine KEWEENAWAN Published by the Student Organization of the MIGHIGAIN COLLEGE! OP MIUNING PONT eS i EN @Al Gay Houghton ; Michigan IN MEMORIAM The sudden death of Dr. Willard H. Dow on March 31, 1949, was received with sadness by the nation, by industry and by the many institutions of higher learning to which he was a kind benefactor. In memory of the time and devotion invested in us by this great man, we of the Michigan College of Mining and Technology wish to dedi- cate this the 1949 Keweenawan, to him. Dr. Dow had served on the Board of Control since 1946. During that time he was ever ready to cooperate fully with any college un- dertaking. He received many academic and professional awards for his outstanding ability, including an honorary Doctor of Science de- gree conferred upon him by the Michigan College of Mining and Technology in 1939. His accomplishments are his monuments. His outstanding efforts toward the winning of the great World War Il carve for him a promi- nent niche in the hall of the defenders of democracy. He is not dead, for he still lives in the hearts of those who cherish freedom. [4] Dillman President of the Michigan College Grover C. Dr of Mining and Technology MICHIGAN COLLEGE OF MINING AND TECHNOLOGY OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT HOUGHTON, MICHIGAN GROVER C. DILLMAN To the Students of the College: The publication of the 1949 Keweenawan marks tne completion of another academic year. Quite naturally at a time like this, we tend to survey both the accomplishments of the past and the prob- ems of (the future. The 1948-49 academic year has been one of the busiest in the history of the College. To a great extent we have converted from the accelerated war- time and postwar programs to a basis of regular operating procedure. This conversion has been marked by a frictionless blending of veteran and non-veteran enrollment nd by a stabilization of our overall College progran., We have in no sense, however, simply reverted to prewar status. We are more conscious now of education's obligation to the nation and to the world, and our program has been redesigned to ful- fill those obligations, How well we have succeeded will be determined by the success achieved by our graduates when they enter the active fields of science and engineering. We have confidence in their ability to face the problems of the world and to find satisfactory solu- tions. I am sure that the administration of the College, the faculty and staff, and the undergraduate student body wish them all success and happiness, DICE Rely. s) President A ' Alumni Association has been active on the . ‘campus since 1892 and as more students have grad- j oa eee ag ela a a ih B i ue ae ies } } ’ vated into the field of engineering, the usefulness = . , has increased accordingly. - The Alumni Association serves many purposes, but the main function is to create state and metropolitan ————————— _. alumni clubs so the graduates can keep in contact = : with former classmates and meet new alumni of | — Tech. .

The Soliciting of funds that are used in the im- provement of the college is also taken up and the large project now in progress is the Memorial Union Building. The plan for the Memorial Union Building originated in June of 1947. The total cost of the project will be in the neighborhood of $750,000.00, of which $300,000.00 will be raised by donations and the remainder will be self-liquidating. It is satis- fying to know that over $200,000.00 in generous contributions have been donated. The Alumni Association also publishes the Alumni Bulletin. This Bulletin is published monthly for the purpose of forming a bond of interest of the Alumni, with the college, by relating the various activities that happen at the college. It also keeps alumni informed of members who have moved, promoted, etc. The Alumni Association is doing a swell job and to it we say..., “Nice going.” [9 | GEORGE A. OSBORN A.B., B.S. E.M.

He received the B.S., E.M. and Ph.D. degrees from the Michigan Col- lege of Mining and Technology and at- tended the University of California and the Technishe Hochschule of Aachen. In 1927 Dr. Eddy joined the Michigan Tech staff as an instructor in Metallurgy, and in July of 1940 he was appointed head of his de- partment. Dr. Eddy has engaged in research and consulting work and is the author of nu- merous publications in the field of metal- lurgy. He was awarded the Alfred Nobel prize in 1931 for, “The most outstanding contribution to the metallurgical field of science by men under thirty years of age.” Dr. Eddy is listed in “Who’s Who in En- gineering”; “American Men of Science”; “America’s Young Men ; “Who’s Who in the Middle West”, and “Who’s Who in American Education”. He holds membership in a number of metallurgic and _ scientific organizations including the Institute of Met- als in London.

This fraternity was founded at the Michigan College of Mining and Technology in January, 1932, to recognize exem- plary students and professional attainments in the field of metallurgy. The Second World War interrupted the fraterni- ty’s growth. During 1947-1948, the organization was revised to meet changed conditions and to broaden its scope. 9 2] The fraternity has three purposes,—to recognize scholastic achievement among metallurgical students, to join its members in a common bond of professional interest, and to be of lasting benefit to its members and alumni. Eligibility for membership in Alpha Sigma Mu is limited to the upper third of the junior and senior classes enrolled in metallurgy and mineral dressing. Election to the fraternity is based upon character, personality and service. FIRST ROW: W. T. Moore, R. H. Schnitzel, B. W. Boisvert, L. H. Hoffman, C. Orciuch, R. B. Browning, J. DeRubeis, R. W.

AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR METALS Since its founding in 1936, the American Society for Metals has endeavored to increase the knowledge of its members on the manufacture and treatment of metals. In addition, the meetings of the chapter give the student the necessary social contact to the engineer. A complete reorganization of the administrative machinery featured the activities of the Michigan Tech Chapter of the society during the past year. It had been noted that the ever widening scope of the ASM had placed too great a burden on its ad- ministrative officers. In the spring term, 1948, the members voted for reorganization. lannettoni, J. S. Apostoiina, J. K. Russell, C. C. Adier, G. W. Boyd, A. Schultz, E. Vruggink, S. J. Larsen. SECOND ROW: J. L.

It gave greater flexibility and was instrumental in im- proving the functioning of the society. The duties of both the president and vice-president were de- tailed, and several standing committees were ap- pointed to cope with specific problems as they arose. Assured of a smoothly operating organization, the ASM is prepared for more active participation in student activities, the Winter Carnival, and social contact between the members of the society. [23 | Se ee ae soiage nclenReaR ena = ties eS The Department of MINERAL Se ING L DR Professor Manderfield was born in Hub- bell, Michigan on March 25, 1900. He received a B.S. degree at Michigan College of Mines in 1921 and a degree in Metaliurgical Engineering from the same school in 1925. From 1923-24 he was a research engineer for the Anaconda Copper Company. In 1925 he became Associated Professor of Metallurgy and Ore Dressing; until 1935 when he became the professor and head of the department. In 1940 when the new Mineral Dressing department was formed professor Mander- field was appointed head. The Professor belongs to the Engineering Education, and Mining and Metallurgical Engineering Associations, as well as the Lake States Mining Institution. He has been the author of a number of private consulting reports as well as several made public. Notable of these are “Low Grade Ore of Michigan Iron Districts,” “Na- tive Copper Ore Dressing,” and his latest, which is co-authored with Messrs. Tolonen ond Jasberg, is “Concentration Characteris- tics of the Low Grade Iron Ores of Michi- gan. N. H. MANDERFIELD MINERAL DRESSING In the beginning there were no mineral dressers. started with. And all the while keeping the miner As time went on, however, some of the men felt that making little ones out of big ones could be reduced to a science. The whole world agreed to this, easily seeing that this would be easier than making big ones out of little ones. Finally, mineral dressing came to Michigan Tech. There it was given its own department, allowed to grant degrees, and then kicked down into the base- ment of McNair Hall. Ever since, students have dis- appeared into the depths only to appear four years later their eyes glowing with knowledge and their clothes smeiling of pine oil. Typically the miner comes up from the ground, heaves large piles of rocks of various sizes and dimensions at the mineral dresser, and departs. The latter now has the choice of crushing, or grinding, or any of the other things that is common practice, in order to come up with something better than he | 26] on one end cand the metallurgist on the other, pleased with the job. And the thought enters his head, “Why didn’t | go to that liberal arts school.” Sprinkling the crushed ore with exotic smelling reagents, the engineer boils and bubbles the ore. Bubbles float in the air around the flotation ma- chines making everything rather moist in the process. Wheels whirl, whistles blow, and out comes the finished concentrate. All that remains is to figure where to dump the worthless material that made up ninety-nine per cent of the original. Industry rolls on, confident that the raw materials so necessary to its existence will be supplied. The world of business knows that the ore of the great ranges will be taken from the earth and processed into concentrations suitable for modern furnaces.

From the first watch he takes apart to the time he decides to overhaul the family car, he is always puttering with gadgets. The aver- age family, tired of paying for the years of sustained damage, finally decides to turn this energy into use- ful channels and send their boy to Houghton. And another student mechanical engineer joins the ranks of those who come to try. The home of the mechanical engineer is the large building on the east of the campus. Here the student drinks in knowledge along with a little carbon monoxide from the engines in the lab. His first courses teach him steam, failures, and all manner of necessary evils. At last he makes the choice of option. Automotive, power, or air conditioning are the offerings. The automotive major quickly finds out that all is not road testing ‘492 models in his courses. But, cheerfully adjusting to his chosen profession, the embryo engineer diligently pursues knowledge. With his degree ciutched in his hand he strides forth [30] Professor A. P. Young was appointed Head of the De- partment of Mechanical En- gineering, succeeding Dr. R. R. Seeber who retired on July 1, 1948 after heading the de- partment since 1926. Professor Young is a grad- vate of Purdue University and holds the B.S. and M.E. De- grees from that institution. Prior to his joining the Michi- gan College of Mining and Technology Faculty Staff in 1930, he was employed for six years as manager of the Nadiad Industrial Institute of Nadiad, India. Pro fessor Young holds mem- bership in the American So- ciety of Mechanical Engineers, the American Welding Socie- ty and the Society for the Advancement of Engineering Education.

Here is a man who can R. R. Seeber grease cars and fill gas tanks with the best of them. Or, there is always the air conditioning option. The dark secret of this study is revealed only to the senior in his last term. “When it grows stuffy inside, open a window. Or if really scientifically in- clined, open two windows!” Some men tuke the third option. Some of them are consistently drunk with power. This isn’t a pre- requisite, but it helps. Of course, this isn’t restricted to the mechanicals. The power men do deserve their title of best dressed men on the campus. Getting close to all that steam, their clothes have that freshly laundered look. This largest group at the school are an inspiration to their fellow students. Everyone has to take the elementary “M’ courses, but these are the only ones who have the courage to take the rest. Or is it courage? Maybe its the vision of the future. For deep in the heart of the most of the mechanical engineers is the image of their forthcoming success. Their own garage. K. Main R, Karpinen G. Freeman R. Woelk H. Barber GieLundin;: Jr. S.

ENGINEERING PHYSICS Ever since Los Alamos, Hiroshima, and some of those other places, the physicist has been coming up in the world. Here’s the man who has moved out of the labcratory into the front offices of the government. Just a few short years ago his responsi- bility consisted of seeing that all the high school stu- dents did their experiments fairly. Now he drops a flask or makes a mistake, and one of our cities is missing. To get all these foulups out of his system, the student physicist comes to Tech. The usual run of men sigh with relief upon com- pleting that last term of general physics. But the physicist, being a glutton for punishment, signs up for more. The years are spent pursuing x-rays, gamma-rays, beta-rays, and so on, down the greek alphabet. The big thing to watch is not to stand too close to the experiments. Where do you think those two-headed men on the campus came from? [44] It’s rumored that the last problem of the physicist or engineering physicist during his senior year is to make his own atom bomb. Off our man goes down to the top-secret lab down at the last level in the Quincy mine. There, surrounded by chattering Geiger counters, he works. Finally, he hands the finished product into his instructors. If the professor, and the building, are still there by the next day, the the student flunks... The average physicist has no trouble securing a job. The government snaps them up for secret work as soon as the men are graduated. As they dis- appear into the dark recesses of the high-walled plant, their friends and classmates wave fond fare- well to them. The massive door clicks shut and the heavy bolts lock into place.

MICHIGAN ‘TECH PHYSICAL SOCIETY The Michigan Tech Physical Society is a new ad- dition to the professional organizations on campus. It was formed in the spring term of 1948 to meet the needs and interests of the increasing number of physics and engineering physics students. To fulfill this aim the group seeks to stimulate interest and discussion in the broadening field of physics through student demonstrations, movies, and talks by outside speakers. It provides an opportunity for interested students and faculty members to meet together so- cially and informally. Although at present there is no opportunity for organization to affiliate with any of the professional physics organizations, the individual members are encouraged to join the American Society of Pnysics Teachers as junior members. P- Yar coe ON ee ee ss a im een! PARRE gt true i [48 | The Departments of CHEMISTRY and CHEMICAL ENGINEERING Professor and Head of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Dr. Henry L. Coles was appointed as suc- cessor to Dr. C. M. Carson in 1940 who re- tired at that time. Dr. Coles received his B.S. and Ph.Dd. degrees from Ohio State University and his Ch.E. and M.S. degrees from Rose Polytech- nic Institute. Dr. Coles formerly headed the Department of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering at the University of Alabama, engaging in consulting work at that time. The author of two books and numerous articles in scientific and technical publica- tions, Dr. Coles holds numerous patents in the fields of chemistry which were much used during World War Il. Dr. Coles is a member of a number of chemical societies and is listed in “The American Men of Science”; “Who’s Who in America” and “Chemical Who’s Who” and holds professional engineer’s licenses in the States of Michigan and New York. DR. H.L..COLES CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING in high school, chemistry seemed designed to keep the student amused during the short lab hours. What fun to brew up some hydrogen and touch a match to it. Or heat mercuric oxide to get the metal. No reports or quesiions, something good to pick up a couple of hours. Things seemed to have changed somewhere between there and college. The big thing in that first chemistry year or two was whai is it? how much? and the usual why? Of course, the reactions were very pretty, but the odor. Well, some of the more hardy, or those with con- tinual colds, decided to follow the thing through. The chemist comes the closest to the old alchemist wno spent his lifetime finding out that he couldn‘t change lead into gold. The student brews and put- ters his way through four years, acquiring a degree and a strong stomach. Then if he or she hasn‘t breathed too much H,S, they are let loose on in- dustry. Around the time that the last unknown comes back rejected, some of the chemists decide to take to the industrial side of the profession. Here are the po- tential DuPonts of the future. The chem engineers figure out the new plants and machinery that will turn out the sheer stockings or the miracle drugs of modern science.

PHI LAMBDA UPSILON Phi Lambda Upsilon, an honorary chemical and chemical engineering society, was founded at the University of Illinois in March, 1899. The objectives of the society are “the promotion of high scholar- ship and original investigation in all branches. of pure and applied chemistry.” The Michigan Tech Chapter, Aloha Omicron, is the newest addition to the society. It was formed in 1943 by the affiliation of the former Chi Epsilon Chi, a local chemical hon- orary group, with the national fraternity. The requirements for membership are mainly scholarship and general excellence in chemistry and chemical engineering. The members well represent Koenig Hall and their field of work. They are well known for their ability. Je Da spain, Ea Pasbrady,. E FIRST ROW: W. Trendie, K. P. Schubart, L. Tormen, P. Fowle, D. Tobin, F. Stone, R. E. Jones. W. E. Ward, E. S. Carlson, R. W.

AMERICAN INSITTIUTE OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERS The history of the Michigan Tech Chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers dates back to the spring term of 1939 when the student chapter was organized. Acceptance by the AIChE came in the following school year with a gradual expansion in membership and activities until interruption by the war. Following the war, the constitution was amended to allow the formation of an affiliate for the chemical engineering and chemical majors at the Sault Branch. The student chapter establishes contact with the new developments in industry by means of movies, speakers, and an informal student-faculty, bi-weekly get-togethers, known as the “coffee hour.” The chapter also participates in extra-curricular activities such as the Winter Carnival, Home-Coming Parade, and other campus activities. To foster interest in the annual Beard-Growing Contest, the AIChE con- ducts its own coritest. The winner’s name is engraved on a plaque which is hung in the chemical engineer- ing library along with the trophy, a highly decorated mustache cup. | In addition to its many other activities, the chapter puts out its own publication, The Catalyzer. This is sent to chemical engineering and chemistry graduates to keep them informed about department news and the addresses of former students. The staff of The Catalyzer is to be complimente d on the excellent work they have done. SECOND ROW: A. D. Larsen, A. M. Paradiso, THIRD ROW: Trousdale, E. G. Dickinson, T. Vukovic, D. Mowatt, J.

Snelgrove resigned from the Princeton University faculty staff in 1940 to accept the position at Michigan College of Mining and Technology. Dr. Snelgrove is a graduate of McGill University, receiving his B.S. and M.S. de- grees from that institution, and obtaining his Ph.D. from Princeton University. Dr. Snelgrove was employed as a geolo- gist by several organizations; for the Pure Oil Company in Wyoming; made a geologi- cal survey on Canada; led the Princeton Geological Expedition to Newfoundland; and was official geologist to the govern- ment, in charge of a group of Tech students working on a geological survey in New- foundland. Among the numerous professional or- ganizations in which Dr. Snelgrove holds membership is the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. He is also a mem- ber of Theta Tau and Psi Upsilon fraterni- ties. Dr. Snelgrove is listed in “American Men of Science”; ““Who’s Who in Engineer- ing”; “Who’s Who in Canada”; “Who’s Who in Newfoundland”; and “Who’s Who in American Education.” GEOLOGICAL ENGINEERING Picture the world a thousand years from now when the earth has been reduced to a heap of pul- verized pebbles by the hammers of countless ages of geologists. By then, all the strata will have been ripped up from Mount Everest to the bottom of the ocean, and classified and examined and scrutinized. Nothing around but row on row of glass cases filled with the remains of fields and hills, all neatly labeled according to the system. Preferably with long names. But the picture isn’t really that bad. The student geologist around Tech needn’t be condemned for what shall be. He concerns himself mainly with his mineral lens and his rock collection, just learning what is the real story about what goes on under- neath the surface of it all. Here is the beginning of the men who, divining rod in hand, will find the Mesabi Range of tomorrow or start the next stam- pede to the Yukon. Some of the geologists end up with large mining companies, figuring out where the next ore is com- [62 | ing from. Others hit the prospecting trail with the mule and pick, waiting to make the big strike. Some find themselves floating in oil in the southwest or camped out in the middle east with nothing but Arabs and camels for company. Wherever rocks are found, there geologists are found, too. The course of study is pretty rough. Only the best can survive the rigors of four years of it. Remember that poor fellow who was found sitting in the mineralogy lab after a quiz, methodically hitting himself on the head with his pick? “I’m an andesite porphyry! he cried. “See my feldspars “ Sure enough, his eyes were flashing at ninety degrees. But this was an extreme case. This select band of geologists and geological en- gineers is a great credit to their school. They form a valuable part of the student-body. With a song in their hearts and their pockets full of pebbles, (some say rocks in their heads,) they made the cam- pus much more interesting. R. Chapman P. Riddell Kiril Spiroff E. Oliveira A.

MURRAY RIDDELL Professor Riddell is Head of the Depari- ment of Mining Engineering. He attended the Illinois Institute of Tech- nology for six years; the degrees of B.S. and E.M. were procured at the Michigan College of Mining and Technology. While most of Professor Riddell’s indus- trial experience has been confined to the iron ore regions of Lake Superior, he has done work in sixteen states and in Canada and Russia, the latter for two years. He is included in a number of professional organizations; the outstanding membership is in the Saunders Gold Medal Award Com- mittee, as the result of an exceptional ac- complishment in mining work. Professor Riddell has made a substantial contribution to the art of shaft sinking by devising a mechanism which mechanically mucks vertical shafts, commonly known as the Riddell Shaft Mucker. MINING ENGINEERING “| must go down to the mines again,” or some similar sentiment beats in the heart of the student who elects to come to Houghton to take the course that made Tech famous. Behind him is the long line of men who nave made the “Michigan College of Mines” famous all over the world. In front of him stretches four years of learning the ins and outs of block caving, open stoping, evaluation, all the myriad subjects that the miner must study to receive his degree. Some of the students around the campus take a dim view of anyone who elects to spend the greater part of his time in o hole in the ground. Bar room pallor is bad enough around Tech without missing the sun light, too. But they don’t understand the conditions underground. Picture cool surroundings on the hottest summer day. Imagine working under constant temperature and pressure. What more can anyone ask? Mining goes back to the day the first caveman discovered placer gold in a stream. Unhampered [66] by any stockholders or board of directors, he felt free to pick it up whenever he felt like it. Later he began to trade it for other goods, and the same story might be written for all the useful metals. Man found out early that along with agriculture, mining was basic. One hundred years ago this year, the miners— forty-niners were taking time enough off from court- ing Clemintine to do some prospecting. All over the world the frontiers were being pushed back in the search for mineral wealth. It got so that from the top of the Andes to the jungles of Burma it wasn’t surprising to hear “Hy there, waiters,” being yelled back and forth. And so down to the present day. Still the eager students come and go to learn the secrets of the mining profession. After four short years, they go out armed only with pick and shovel to inflict them- selves on the world. As they march away, the sound of their singing comes back. “Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it’s off to work we go...” R. C. Matson R. Smtih J. Walker J. Phillips A. Christenson M. Marin G. Haataja ( J. Matson .

AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF MINING AND METAL- LURGICAL ENGINEERS The Michigan Tech Chapter of the American Insti- tute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers forms a nucleus of the mining tradition of the college. Early in the history of MCM T the Mining Club was formed. In 1935, this was replaced by the student chapter of the AIME. Wel! organized bi-monthly meetings attracted a record number of members this year. Colorful movies and interesting talks presented by professional men kept the members informed about the latest develop- ments in the field of mining, mineral dressing, and geology. Of especial interest were the movies on the Newfoundland Geological Survey presented by Dr. A. K. Snelgrove, head of the geology department at Tech. The traditional Isle Royale trip over Decoration Day Weekend was a success both in attendance and results. Some of the diligent explorers found many interesting mineral specimens, and, as usual, their packsacks were heavier coming back than going over. The less energetic of the men remained in camp indulging in indoor sports. There were a few fishermen in the group, and fish were provided for almost every meal. The AIME was active in both the Winter Carnival and Homecoming. Their float in the parade was especially good, as was their snow statue in front of Sperr Hall. The AIME held its banquet in January at the Scott Hotel in Hancock. Among the guest speakers was C. H. Benedict, former Chief Metallurgist for the Calumet and Hecla Co. He, and members of the faculty, enliven the meeting by relation of some of their personal experiences in their. respective fields. In this year, as in the past, the AIME has kept alive the traditions of the mining department of Michigan Tech. The Department of E I fey ale J INGE SEE IX IIN J BN WILFRID C. POLKINGHORNE Professor Wilfrid C. Polkinghorne was appointed Head of the Department of Civil Engineering in the fall of 1945. He holds the degrees of B.S. and E.M. from the Michigan College of Mining and Technology and a M.S. degree from Yale University. A member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, Professor Polkinghorne served as chairman of the A.S.C.E. Seventh Registration for Engineers, Architects and Mine Surveyors in 1939, and has served as chairman of that board. He holds member- ship in structural and engineering organiza- tions and also in the Theta Tau Fraternity, the Yale Club of Michigan and the Masonic Order. Professor Polkinghorne’s biography appears in “Who’s Who in America” and “Who's Who in Engineering.” CIVIL ENGINEERING There always seemed to be someone in the army who could dig ditches better than everybody else. Foxholes, slit trenches, anything they wanted, he was in there. Then there was the man who could throw up Bailey bridges all by himself. Not every- one, however, has been exposed to this valuable training. Some people have to pick up what they can from erector sets. Sooner or later, all of them find themselves enroiled in Civil Engineering far above the stagnant waters. Man has found out the hard way that to get across a body of water he had to have a boat, a bridge, or pre-shrunk suit. Carrying a canoe around or looking for the sanforized label was too much trou- ble for the average individual, so he put up bridges. Usually, most of the structures fell down, but gradu- ally some of the smarter people began to put to- gether ones that stood up. Not artistic at first, but good dependable constructions. The trial and error system was too good to last. Someone discovered stresses. Compression and ten- [74] sion, up and down, moving and_ standing still; stresses were all over everything. And the civil was forced to start using the drawing board. Everything was down on paper. Some of the men didn’t go for these inovations. They decided to get into something different. They reasoned that everybody ... well, every town has sewage, so why not lay pipe in ditches and get ria of the stuff? This was quite an improvement over the old system of heaving the excess refuse out of the nearest window. Sanitation became a byword all over the world and the civils were in like flynn. (Not Errol.) All of which brings us back to 1949. Whether he be ditchdigger or bridge raiser, the student is wel- comed to Michigan Tech with open arms. Here he will learn’ to build suspension bridges like they put up over Puget Sound, dispose of sewage in the mod- ern way like they do in Houghton, and build high- ways as good as the ones they have in the Copper Country.

Enterprising members of the rapidly expanding group of civil engineering stu- dents realized that there was a strong need for an honorary association to recognize their outstanding men. Chi Epsilon, in spite of its recent inauguration, has taken its place as one of the most active groups on the campus. Provided with excellent leadership, Chi Epsilon has even bigger plans in the future, in- cluding its own personnel index of graduated civil engineering students. The Michigan Tech Chapter [80] aiso has as one of its main themes the complete co- operation with the American Society of Civil En- gineers. Chi Epsilon was formed at the University of Illinois in 1922. Before the war it had twenty chapters. The Michigan Tech Chapter was the first formed after the war, and was the first formed in the state. During this year Lavern “Sliver” Hanson served as president, Joseph Erickson as vice-president, Paul Lundborg as secretary-treasurer, Dean Bullen as as- sociate editor of “The Transit,” and Gerald Caspary as faculty advisor.

Since the time of its inception the ASCE has grown in stature and influ- ence until today, it stands as one of the foremost engineering societies in the country. Eligibility for membership has always been based primarily on professional experience, and personal character. One of the important functions of the society has been the assistance of the young engineer in the earlier years of his career. Toward this end, student chapters have been established at many of the tech- nical schools in the country. The Tech chapter evolved in 1931 from a student group called the Civil Club. During the seventeen years of its existence, it has become an increasingly important extra-curricular activity for the under- graduate student in civil engineering. The semi- monthly meetings feature educational movies, dis- cussion groups, and lectures by men prominent in the field of engineering. A feature of the fall term is the annual Civil Outing. The banquet of the so- ciety is held in the spring. ASCE has entered intramural competition with teams on basketball, bowling, hockey, and shooting. It is also the aim of the organization to take an active part in the Winter Carnival activities. The chapter includes in its membership this year, ninety per cent of all senior civil engineering stu- dents at Tech, and several men from the Sault Branch. The officers are, at present, “Casey” Stas- kiewicz, president; Bill Bullen, vice-president; Jack Price, secretary; and Fred Sundquist, treasurer. The group, under the guidance of Professor E. P. Wieden- hoefer, is working constantly toward its ultimate goal of 100 per cent membership from all classes. [ 83 | FIRST ROW: W, J. Benzie, J. E. Muschell, R. W. Kaufman, T. V. Chronowski, W. J.

NOBLET The Department of Forestry, organized and led by Associate Professor U. J. Noblet, was created in 1936. A graduate of Michi- gan State College, Professor Noblet com- pleted post-graduate work at the Universi- ties of Minnesota and Michigan. Formerly Professor Noblet was in charge of timber mapping and cruising when as- signed to the U. S. Engineers at Rock Island, Illinois. Prior to serving as Head of the De- partment of Athletics when he joined the Michigan Tech staff in 1929, Professor No- blet instructed mathematics and_ physical education at high schools in Cadillac and Grand Rapids, Michigan. Professor Noblet is a member of the So- ciety of American foresters and the Ameri- can forestry Association. He is also a mem- ber of Kappa Delta Psi fraternity and_ is faculty adviser of the Forestry Club, FORESTRY About a hundred years ago almost the whole country was covered with virgin forests. None of the present-day dickering with lumber companies, just walk outside, pick the type of wood, and chop it down. No fuss, no strain. But all of this has passed, now. To save our depleting forests the government or state employs groups of men to preserve and re- place the trees that are left. Many of the foremost of this group take their basic training at Michigan Tech, while they’re still little shavers. Most of the students know the forester only as “that lucky dog who doesn’t have to take calculus.” This alone is enough to recommend the course to the average man. But around Winter Carnival the foresters can be spotted by the luxuriant growths of beard that seems essential to being enrolled in their department. The men seem to run to lumber- jack shirts and the outdoor look, too. Then around fishing or hunting season the classrooms in Hubbell [ 86 | School are stacked with rifles and poles, waiting for their owners to finish some elementary dendrology. Some say that the school was founded by Paul Bunyan in one of his jaunts down from the North Woods. He and Babe waded across Lake Superior until they came to the Keweenaw Peninsula. It wasn’t called that then. It was known to the tribes of super- stitious Indians as “Techbygitcheegummie,” or “Land ot Copper Souvenirs.” At any rate, Paul and Babe decided to spend the day by the banks of Portage Lake. They made themselves a camp site on the spot where the campus is now. Ever since then, men have been studying forestry up here. Don't envy these student foresters. Just remember that while most of us are working in some nice com- fortable, smoky factory, these unfortunates will be out-of-doors, hunting and fishing, and taking one long holiday.

CLUB The Forestry Club was organized in 1936, and since that time has become one of the more active organizations on the campus. After the war the en- rollment in the forestry department reached an all- time high. With this came an increased membership in the Ciub. The activities of the foresters take place around the calendar. Fall term features the Buck Shoot and the well-known Lumberjack Ball. The Venison Feed highlights the winter events. The spring term sees the annual Trout Derby, open to the staff and stu- dents of the school, and the Smelt Feed. In addition to the events which they sponsor, the foresters take an active part in the Winter Carnival. Last year they were awarded top place in the skits and second place in the floats. Although the foresters are noted for their social functions, they are, in reality, an earnest group of student woodsmen.

After having received his Master’s degree, Professor Swenson was employed as a tele- phone engineer by the Western Electric Corp. This iasted for only a short time, as he returned to his Alma Mater to be an in- structor and Assistant Professor in the Elec- trical Dept. He kept that position until 1928 when the Michigan Tech Electrical Engineer- ing Department was organized under his direction and guidance. This marks twenty years in his capacity as Head of the De- partment in addition for being a counselor for this period. Professor Swenson is associated with many organizations. Among these, he is chairman of the Great Lakes District Student Branch Committee of A.I.E.E. and also chair- man of the Electrical Division of the Ameri- can Society for Engineering Education. The A.I.E.E. has given him the title of Fellow, and he belongs to Tau Beta Pi and Eta Kappa Nu, both of which are honorary fraternities. Among the professional frater- nities, ke belongs to Kappa Eta Kappa and the Service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega. On top of this formidable array of honors, he is also an author of an Electrical En- gineering Text and various professional papers. G. W.

Down through the ages men began to wonder if maybe they couldn’t do something with the energy that made up the lightning in the air. Some dreamed of an age where great trains would move heavy loads and freights powered by this stuff of the gods. There would be some way to store this power so that it would furnish light and heat for the world. Today, through experimentation, many students have learned that this may someday come true. Someday, afier all the different waves are plotted and the results graphed, electrical engineers will find some usefu! application for electricity.

While the qualifications for membership distinctly stimulate and reward high scholarship, Eta Kappa Nu has a far broader purpose than merely to award a badge of distinction. As conceived by its founders and as carried forward by its membership during more than two generations, its aim is to assist its members throughout their lives in becoming better men in their chosen professions and better citizens. In return, it is another purpose of the organization ihat its membership be a constructive force, helping [106] fellow members and non-members alike in improving the standards of the profession, the courses of in- struction, and the institutions where its chapters are established. Each undergraduate chapter and each alumni chapter is carrying out these ideals in the manner best fitted to its individual needs. A national or- ganization, elected by the chapters, exercises gen- eral supervision and correlates the efforts of these groups. A bi-monthly magazine, The Bridge, keeps the members informed of the organization’s activi- ties and forms a means of contact between gradu- ates and undergraduates. Green, J. Beumer. Drewey, P.

The provisions in the constitution stating that chapters of Sigma Rho can be formed on mining campuses only, has greatly limited her growth; at present the fraternity has four chapters: the Alpha at Houghton, Michigan (1892), the Beta at Minneapolis, Minnesota (1910), Gamma at Ken- tucky (1922), the Delta chapter at Montana School of Mines (1927). The social events of the year were met with bright and smiling faces. The Homecoming Parade Trophy and the Winter Carnival Stage Review Trophy now adorn the mantel of the fireplace at Sigma Rho. The Homecoming Parade first place honors were won | 143 | by a float depicting Michigan Tech Huskies pulling a large football toward the opponent’s goalpost. This float was ciccompanied by group participation and many of the favorite songs of this campus. The Winter Carnival Stage Review first place honors were won by a quintet of dancers with a little bit of vaudeville. Sigma Rho’s float in the Winter Car- nival Parade, a large snowball with dancers and a five-piece band, tied for third place. The passing of the next year brings more hopes and promises of retaining these awards and adding others. Win or lose though, Sigma Rho will always be there to help boost the activities on the campus of Michigan College of Mining and Technology. Sigma Rho has added to the social events of the year many enticing parties, picnics, and an unprece- dented Faculty Member Cocktail Party. These events have been accompanied by many informal beer busts and an occasional stag party. The highlight of Sigma Rho’s social calendar is the Winter Formal given every year during the winter term at the Alpha Sigma Rho Chapter House.

One of the most outstanding examples of this fraternity’s activities was the organization of the Michigan Tech Lode in 1921. Long a source of campus leaders, the Kappa Delts during the past year have been very active in all phases of campus life. They are intramural con- tenders in every sport and during the past year cap- tured the envied intramural cup and are well on [148] their way to another. Of greater importance was their winning of the Winter Carnival Trophy for 1949. The past year has been another dynamic one for the versatile Kappa Delts. It saw the final realization of the life long Kappa Delt dream—a permanent home. Undertaking a task which was impossible to everyone but themselves, the Kappa Delt “nomads” purchased and completely renovated a_ chapter house. With this achievement behind them, in ad- dition to its prominence in college activities Kappa Delta Psi merits a high place in the social life on the campus. “x onl OF ai pis ‘y : g : I es ae | 150| Les pXoae ide lacks Opponents University of Minnesota Duluth Branch Comell Colles@n 2 6 a a Ge + Za Detroit Institute of Technology Perris [fgttitte “i= ce g Northern Michigan College of Education | Northland College matt tne. d Stout Instittt@=.. = ee ee I 1 1 } | , Peterson, Zollinger. “Relgrson, Pertille, Setetbercd Stenson, Jederds, Smith, Baga.

A big blow was felt before the season opened with the loss of Cap- tain John Donald, but under the leadership of acting captain Jack Patek, the team fought their way to Tech’s first undefeated season. On September 18, Tech opened the season in 7 Duluth, playing against the strong Duluth Branch of the University of Minnesota. Although Tech ouft- gained their opponents almost 3-1, fumbles were costly, and the winner was not known ‘til the last 30 seconds when Stenson hit Monticello with a 38 yard pass to break a 13-13 tie and give Tech a 19-13 victory. The following week found the Huskies at home with Cornell College of lowa as their opponents. The game progressed on even terms until the begin- ning of the final quarter. With the score 14-12 in [154] Cotnell’s favor, Tech started to roll and sparked by the passing of Ted Edwards, Tech rolled up 3 more touchdowns before the final gun, giving them a 32- 14 wins. Tech suffered the loss of Al McNay in this game with a broken finger. October 2 being an open date, October 9 was Tech’s next chance to prove their strength. This time the victim was Detroit Tech to the tune of 33-6. Led by the running of Tussi Peterson and Whimpy Net- tell, Tech rolled at will starting with Nettell’s 80 yard return of the opening kick-off. The defensive play of the line was exceptionally fine. The next engagement was with Ferris Institute played.at Big Rapids, October 16. The Bulldogs from Ferris held for the first canto but the spirit and drive of Tech proved too much in the second period and both Nettell and Peterson drove over for touchdowns played on even terms with each team scoring “« Bob Storm scored Tech’s touchdown on an ception and 35 yard run, making the final com 1-6. The following week, the Tech Huskies played their annual Homecoming game against their traditional rivals, Northern Teachers of Marquette. Tech moved in front with two touchdowns in the first quarter and the winner was no longer in doubt. Adding 3 more scores in the second canto, the game turned into a rout. When the final gun had sounded, Tech had routed their opponents by a 44-13 score. Outstand- ing men for Tech were many and to pick them would be difficult. Playing their final home game against Northland College in muct and rain, Tech added a 47-0 slaughter to their string of victories. With Bill Oster- man scoring 3 touchdowns, the first half ended 21-0. The second half was similar to the first with the Huskies scoring 4 more touchdowns with Storm throw- ing passes of 56 and 58 yards for two of the 4 touchdowns. With the splendid play of the linemen, Northland never threatened Tech’s goal. Traveling to Menominee, Wisconsin for their last game of the season against Stout Institute, the Tech- men came out on top of a rough, hard fought battie 13-6. Injuries and penalties were the feature of this game. The pena'ties against Tech erased three Huskie touchdowns. Biil Osterman suffered a frac- tured nose in the battle. Tech opened the scoring with Tussi Peterson going over in the first quarter. Stout tied the count in the second canto, 6-6. Tech came back in the third with a drive climaxed with Nettell going over from the one foot line. The line- men again played their brand of fine and alert de- fensive play. This was the final game for 8 Huskies. The graduating seniors include George Bianchini, Robert Pierce, Ed Snyder, Jack Patek, John Winkel, Leo Adams, Roy Sipinen, and Bob Johnson. With many of the top players back next year, the team should have anotner fine season. Co-captains for the 1949 season will be Tussi Peterson and Hal Smith. [155] THE 1949 HOCKEY SEASON Under the leadership and inspired play of Cap- tain Marc Olson, the 1948-49 hockey squad of Michigan Tech finished the season with five wins and ten losses against the finest college sextets in the country. Tech’s new coach, Amo Bessone, issued his first call late in the foll but due to warm weather, prac- tice on ice was impossibie until shortly before their season opener. The Huskiés opened this season against a more experienced squad from Queen’s University. Although the boys made a good showing with so little practice, Tech lost their two game series with Queens, 5-3 and 7-4. [156] Tech entertained the University of North Dakota next-and won their first game by a 6-3 count. The second game of the series was called off because of soft ice. ’ Taking to the road, the Tech Huskies dropped a pair to the Minnesota Gophers at Minneapolis by scores of 5-4 anda. Returning home for a six game stretch, Tech lost a tough one to the University of Michigan. The game was played on even terms throughout with the win- ning goal being made late in the final period. The following night was the big night for the Huskies when they came back to whip the W verifies 6-2. This was the first and only defeatethe 1948 National Champions suffered during the year. SS S During Winter Carnival week, four home games were played. The Michigan Tech Huskies downed the Golden Bears of the University of Minnesota the first night by the score of 6-4. The following night, the Golden Bears came back to top the Huskies by a 5-3 count. The feature of these two games was the playing of goalie Jan Watson of California who had 120 saves in the two games. Friday and Satur- day nights saw Tech as hosts to the University of Minnesota. The Gophers took the first game 5-1 but Tech came back the following night to close their home season with a 12-4 win. Taking to the road again, Tech met the University of North Dakota in a two game series. The Huskies downed the Sioux sextet in the first tilt 5-2 but lost the following night 6-2 in a close contest. Closing the season at Ann Arbor, March 4th and Sth, the Huskies dropped a pair to the Wolverines. Losing only one man through graduation, Tech should have a fine season during the 1949-50 year.

This aspect of the club‘’s activities was han- dled, for the most part, by coach Fred Lonsdorf. Many of the ski teams from colleges of the C.U.S.S.A. were entertained at Ripley this year. All meets were run off smoothly and all the competitors well satisfied. Besides the intercollegiate and jump- ing events, a competitive meet was held for the ski club members, with awards for the winners and ruUNNErs-Up. The club, headed by president Bob Lovell, con- sisted of over seventy-five members. Meetings were held regularly every two weeks, where business was discussed, plans made, and committees chosen for the various activities of the club. Occasionally ski movies were shown. Near the end of the season, the members went on an all day cross-country hike near Copper Har- bor. A good time was enjoyed by all. Several parties were held at the Huskie Hut this winter, usually on Friday night after night skiing. Movies were usually shown, refreshments served; “snow-bunnying’” being the rule. The activities were ended with the annual banquet heid at the Scott Hotel in April. [169] - 1948 TRACK TEAM ERRATA FIRST ROW: Boyer, Horris, Kuchta, Shaw, Schewe, Rutka, Gaffney, Penokie.

VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club is the organization of the varsity letter winners in the major sports at Michigan Tech. Its primary purposes are to promote school spirit and encourage interest and participation in athletics among the student body and the alumni. A. J. BOVARD THIRD ROW: The Club holds bi-weekly meetings. An annual banquet is sponsored each spring, at which time awards are presented to members who have taken part in one or more of the major sports. The annual homecoming dance is sponsored during the football season. Professor and Head of the Department of Physical Education and Director of Athletics, is Alan J. Bovard, who fills the vacancy created by the death of Pro- fessor Donald P. Sherman. Professor Bovard attended the University of Michi- gan and received the A.B. degree from that insti- tution in 1930. He was a member of the University of Michigan Varsity football team during his college years and was placed on several All-Conference teams. [172] INTRAMURAL SPORTS Intramural sports at Michigan Tech are partici- pated in by almost every fraternity, professional so- ciety, and class. The intramural program inciudes basketball, hockey, pingpong, pool, billiards, bowl- ing, softball, and track. Points are given to those organizations that place in the various sports. The intramural trophy is given to the one having the greatest number of points at the end of the school year. The program not only serves to stimulate good sportsmanship but brings talent worthy of varsity consideration into the open. | FIRST ROW: J. P. Jansen, D. Rose, R. Margenau, E. Galbraith, M. Bunting.

Warren, KEWEENAWAN This year the staff of the Keweenawan attempted to bring to the students of Michigan Tech a year- book which wceuld be outstanding in composition, make-up, and design. To bring this about; work was started early in the fall term. Editor Dick Livingston, with the aid of some of last year’s staff and many new additions, inaugu- rated a campus-wide drive to create interest among all students in working on the yearbook. The results brought forth many men who helped to make this volume the best possible. [176] Many types of cover and weights of paper were examined before the final choice was madz. The result was a heavier, better-bound, more attractive Keweenawan than ever before. The many pages of pictures and writing which fill the book have been selected to bring the senior an actual record of his college days. The memories preserved therein will accompany him wherever he may be in the coming years. R. Youngblood, KEWEENAWAN STAFP EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ...... Tes bade Jaen een eee rae Ree RICHARD W.

Tau Beta Pi is the largest and most respected national honorary engineering fraternity, having chapters at some 83 colleges in the United States. The purpose of Tau Beta Pi is to mark in some fitting manner those who have conferred honor on their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates in the field of engineering. Its intention is to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering colleges and universities of America. Members are selected from the upper fifth of the senior class and the upper eighth of the junior. class [178] on a basis of integrity, breadth of interest, unselfish activity, and the ability to get along with their fellows. This year Beta of Michigan improved the opera- tion of its faculty rating poll along the lines of sin- cere constructive help to the staff of the college. The project is in keeping with the Association’s object of promoting and encouraging professional advance- ment in engineering. Through the active cooperation of more than eighty members the chapter was able to carry out a successful program of activities of interest to both its own membership and the student body as a whole.

This year Doug McCullough presided as president. The Council makes use of the money collected for student activities to promote social, athletic, and educational activities on the campus. This year the Council sent delegates to the Na- tional Student Association conventions. These men took part in the discussions of the problems of to- day’s American college student. They presented to the group some of the aspects of the engineering colleges ideas cind programs. They submitted a re- port to the student body here upon returning. The accomplishments of this year’s members speak well for their akilities. The students placed the gov- ernment of their funds in competent hands. FROSH WEEK | [181 | | ge i rr er aan ee ea. nn H. Smathers, J. Hanna, A. Paradiso. DANCE COMMITTEE Each year the student council appoints a dance committee to supervise and back social activities at Michigan Tech. Its funds are drawn from the student treasury to promote and encourage dances spon- sored by itself or other organizations. During the first half of the year, the notable achievement of the group was the Sadie Hawkins Day Dance. Under the chairmanship of Harry Smathers and Bruce Arbogast, “SHDD” was spread [182] throughout the campus. The dance was held on the traditional day that Daisy May pursues Li’! Abner. Prizes were awarded for the best costumes resem- bling those of the inhabitants of Dogpatch. Throughout the year the members of the commit- tee contribute a large portion of their spare time to arrange events for the student body. Their efforts have provided dancing for the hard-working en- gineer almost every weekend of the three long terms. ee ee tbe eee FIRST ROW: G. Barr, D. Berry, R. Nelson, M. Towey, P. Fowle, T.

The first issue of the Michigan Tech Lode last fall marked the beginning of the first full year of weekly publication. Successfully tried last spring, weekly printing presented many organizational as well as technical problems not encountered in publishing bi-monthly editions. Under the direction of Editor Tom Hruby a well organized program of staff enlargement was under- taken last fall with very marked results. Practically all of the journalistic talent on the campus was inter- viewed, and the addition of writers and ad-men contributed greatly to the ease and efficiency of putting out the expanded Lode. Recognition of the value of this branch of extra- curricular work by the administration of the school manifested itself in the formation of a credited year’s course in journalism. Weekly lectures on the funda- mentals of journalism were given by members of the faculty. These, coupled with talks by newspaper [184] Gray, E. Weber, D. Rowe. THIRD ROW: S. Wiseman, E. Bartlett, W. Lux, D. Ritsema, men, publishers, and printers, contributed greatly to the general betterment of the paper. All efforts of the editors and staff were pointed to the task of publishing a bigger and better Lode. Under the management of Business Director Bob Nelson, a substantial national advertising contract was secured. This, coupled with a large local ad program guaranteed a large weekly income. With this able financing the Lode could and did print a weekly with more pictures, cartoons, and other fea- tures than any previous editions could afford. Sig- nificantly, the change from bi-monthly to weekly publication was accomplished without raising the subscription rates to students, a definite sign that the Lode is on a firm financial footing. With a smooth-functioning staff, a good adver- tising income, and a training program for staff mem- bers, the Michigan Tech Lode is in a position to carry on its high standard in the years to come. a hr r ; ithinan Cech Lunde | EDITOR CHECKS THE PROFITS NEWS EDITOR PHONING LODE STAFF AT WORK?

PRESS CLUB The Press Club was established for the purpose of encouraging journalistic talent and promoting student publications on the campus. It is now completing its second year of life. Annually, it has published and sold its own specially designed calendar. The last design depicted in caricature the capers of an engineer at work. Each term the club inaugurates new members into its ranks; only those who have served two or more terms on the Lode or Keweenawan staffs are eligible for membership. Activities of the club are terminated with the “Bash.” This consists of a slight party held during the spring term. Born during on era of “wheels,” the club’s officers include a Supreme Wheel, Spare Wheel, Scribe, and Shaft. These positions were heid this year by Bob Nelson, Jim Durfee, Pat Towey, and Dick Berry. Acting as faculty advisor for the big wheels and other wheels was Ed Spacie, who was voted in again as “Just Anotner Wheel.” [190] FIRST ROW: R. Leow, D. DIBBLE, W. Cary, G. Bergstrom, B. G.

Be ale Tri Beta, honorary band fraternity founded at Michigan Tech in 1932, is made up of men who excel in musical ability, character, and leadership. The members are drawn from the ranks of the Michigan Tech Band. Total membership is restricted to forty per cent of the active roll of the band, and requires at least one year of active participation in band activities. The purpose of Tri Beta is to promote good music. During the fall term, the fraternity contacted all new students who played musical instruments. It put into operation the use of a short questionnaire to ascertain the lack of student interest in musical activi- ties. The data received was used to simplify adminis- trative methods and create curiosity in musical af- fairs on the campus. The high point of the fall term is the annual pro- gram of Christmas music presented at the Kerredge Theater. This is in addition to other concerts spon- sored by Tri Beta. The fraternity has sponsored a number of informal weekend dances during the school year. In this way, dancing has been provided for the students when no other activities were scheduled at Dee Stadium. The proceeds from these events went to the purchase of new instruments for the band. In the coming years Tri Beta will continue the pro- motion of good music which is so vital to an active campus. | . . 3 ‘ FIRST ROW: K. E. Sorrell, K. Hansen, W. Sermon, J. T. Ellis, M. LaLuzerne.

CAMERA CLUB The Michigan Tech Camera Club, haven for all breeds of photographers, full-time, frustrated, and fledgling, continues to occupy its accustomed posi- tion among the most active of the active groups. With its membership roll again nudging the top mark, the Club is enjoying a full and successful season. Because of its temporary deactivation along with the rest of the campus orgs at the beginning of the term due to an outbreak of polio, the Club’s fall term schedule was rather thoroughly upset; but with typical shutteroug determination, the program was promptly put in order, and the group is now more active than ever. Although intended to be mainly a hobby club, the organization, while following its original theme, has enlarged upon it to a great extent. Among other things, the Club has to its credit at present the highly [192] successful presentation of its annual salon, held in conjunction with the Winter Carnival. Several of its members are now engaged as photographers for the Lode and Keweenawan. Through the efforts of an especially able program committee, several in- formal critiques have been held and members of the Club have been treated to an informative and entertaining series of lectures on photo techniques and processes. The Club’s darkroom facilities have been recently expanded by the purchase of a 5x7 Solar enlarger and lens. Several other smaller pieces of equipment have also been added to insure the availability to members of a completely equipped up-to-date photographic darkroom. If past experience and the leadership and mem- bership cooperation exhibited at present can be taken as criteria, the Camera Club should continue to be numbered among the top campus organiza- tions for a long time to come.

It became one of the more than 170 chapters on the campi of the United States which comprise the fra- ternity. The members of Alpha Phi Omega are former Boy Scouts who are carrying over into young man- hood that which Alpha Phi Omega stands for, Service to our Fellow Men. Toward this end, Epsilon Lambda has promoted many functions of service for the school and community. The outstanding project of this young organization was the sponsorship last spring of a “Copper Country Charity Ball,” the first of its kind held in this part of the country. The suc- cess of this venture prompted the idea of making it an annual event. As the fraternity grows older and gains in ex- perience, it wili enhance its ability to be of service.

SQUARE AND COMPASS CLUB Freemasons are found throughout the worid where honesty, free thinking, tolerance, relief, temperance, justice, and a belief in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man still exist. Because these are the principles upon which our government is based, it is not surprising that the number of Masons in the United States is a majority of the world mem- bership. [194] In 1946 a small group of students organized this club to gather together Masons on the campus who would ordinarily be “visiting” the lodge in Houghton. This enabled the brothers to improve themselves in Masonry and fo assist in cultivating more friendships. A ‘Fellowcraft Team was created in the spring of 1947. Since then, it has traveled to the lodges of the Copper Country to portray the Third Degree. RADIO CLUB FIRST ROW: R. G. Burgess, R. C. Browning (W8ZY1), K. L. Pekarek (W8ATX), C. Orciuch (WIMTD), R.

Center: WESTERN type Pedestal! Pile — Enlarged base affords unusual) load capacity. Right: Button Bottom Pile—Greater diameter base increases bearing value, beam A COLUMN, a foundation pile transfers its load to the base on which it rests. The larger the base, the greater the carrying capacity. Thus, a truncated cone will stand up on its wide base on soil of a given bearing value but will settle if inverted. Compressed Concrete Piles have bearing capacities up to 80 tons. In cases where the bearing value of the soil is such that the diameter of the shaft does not provide sufficient carrying capacity, WESTERN enlarges the base by forming a pedestal. Another WESTERN pile that utilizes the enlarged base is the Button Bottom Pile. WESTERN provides adequate END bearing to carry the load; what is gained by skin friction is an additional safety factor. WESTERN has handled every type of site, soil, and load problem since 1924. No job is too big; no job is too tough for WESTERN. For fast action call on our FREE CONSULTATION SERVICE. A WESTERN engineer will give you authoritative advice and assistance. Write for Catalog A.
