gpesOS80eleng, ) 20° 969 “col LEGp on partPIo9, a The | Nineteen Hundred and Fifty-four Puldithed by the students of the MICHIGAN COLLEGE OF MINING AND TECHNOLOGY Houghton, M. ichigan THE KEWEENAWAN—MICHIGAN COLLEGE OF MINES 1924 To the Staff of the Keweenawan, this book represents the consummation of many hopes, the ending of countless trials and worries, the lasting satisfaction of a long and arduous task completed, and the embodiment of a lasting and unstinted effort to be worthy of the expectations of our fellows. Under the stress of urgent demands from our ‘profs’ for some modicum of work upon our studies, ever harassed by troubles from every source, working without pre- cedent or guide, laboring under adverse conditions imposed upon a similar book a few years ago, it is a small wonder that a heartfelt prayer that this book may be worthy of its name goes forth with this, the first Keweenawan. Without a faculty adviser, we took upon ourselves the responsibility of the book, planning and compiling the entire work unaided, an achievement of which we feel justly proud. Our tiny workshop in the commandeered kitchen of the gym has been the scene of many an all night vigil when work was at its height. We wish that we might pass on to future editors a little of the experience we have gaine d in treading our unknown paths. May this book be an inspiration to them and may they profit by the errors of their predecessors. The reputation of M. C. M. as a veritable workshop was an almost unsurmount- able barrier: sixty six hours of school work per week and an equivalent length of time devoted to the book left but little time for sleep, to say nothing of pleasure. Although we realize that the publication of a large book at any college or university must entail the burning of considerable midnight oil, at the same time we envy those men that can take the necessary time from their studies without endangering their scholastic standings. The senior members of the Staff leave school this spring. They carry with them sincere respect and love for M. C. M. However, such an undertaking as the KEWEENAWAN cannot fail to impress upon them that too little time is allotted for efforts of this sort and to the cultural side of our education. We are going out into a profession that is being continually disparaged because of the common conception that the engineer is merely a highly skilled mechanic, destined by custom to serve only as an employee of the man trained in business. We resent, although we recognize this attitude, but we feel that it can be cor- rected. Courses embracing only those subjects pertaining only to the applied sciences, to the entire neglect of the art and cultural studies, do not tend to overcome this difficulty. A degree from a college of recognized standing implies that the recipient possesses culture; that he knows Nature; something of art and literature; and that he carries the keys of the world’s library in his pocket and is able to make use of its resources. There are too many engineers that would fail to qualify as being educated with these requisites. We should like to see the future engineer so equipped that he may command the public recognition to which his abilities entitle him. The fact that he is gradually attaining a more prominent place in the business world and is being called to management of great corporations is indisputable. This is a field in which he should meet with decided success, for organization and management are his specialties, and for him, the handling of men and supplies are matters of scientific procedure. The knowledge of human relations, so necessary for success, is made clearer by the reading and consideration of general life ques- tions; the study of philosophy, of economics, of literature, of history. It is the duty of the College to impart this knowledge. The amount of work to be covered in an engineering school is far greater than that of a generation ago; add to this the growing realization of the necessity for an adequate cultural background, and the engineering schools are indeed confronted with a problem. The above letter is reprinted from the 1024 Keweenawan. It was selected because it so close- ly parallels the story of the past Keweenawan staffs. We hope that it will awaken the faculty and students of Michigan Tech and give them some incentive to cooperate with future Kewee- nawan staffs. Ca IN MEMORIAL We dedicate this our anniversary section to the war dead of the Second World War and its aftermath. It is only fitting that these brave men should be honored in some manner. Since thoughts of them will be brought forth in the following pages it is proper to honor them with this dedication.

The recreational facilities, now contained in the Memorial Union Building and the gymnasium, were located in the Clubhouse, which is now the R. O. T. C. building. The Administration building was the home of the History, Geography, and Lan- guages Department as well as the library and offices of the administration. The Metallurgy building was being rebuilt after a fire destroyed the old one. The remainder of the physical plant included Sperr Hall, Hubbell Hall, Koenig Hall, the Shops building, and the power plant. In 1927 the College took its present name and some of its present scope, and immediately there began an expansion that is still going on today. The 1954 Keweenawan presents some of the facts about the major additions to the Michigan Tech campus during the past thirty years on the following pages. THE MEMORIAL UNION In 1946 the College approached the trustees of the Alumni Association about the possibility of raising funds for a Memorial Union Building. The Foundation a ccepted the idea and set an initial goal for funds of $300,000. The campaign began in June 1947 and by 1950 enough had been raised to start building. A little over the goal had been collected from Alumni and friends of the College. The ground breaking was on July 15, 1950 and by May 1952 the Memorial Union Building was a reality. Total cost of the newest and most beautiful addition to the Tech campus was close to a million and a quarter dollars. The additional cost was covered by a loan and the Union was fo run on a self liquidating basis. The Memorial Union Association, of which every student is a member, is responsible for the government of the Union. Tne Memorial Union’s many facilities make it the most popular spot on the campus. These facilities include: six bowling alleys, a pool and billiards room, a darkroom, a large cafeteria, a snackbar, a bookstore, a large main lounge and a faculty lounge, a study room, several guest rooms, student and Alumni Foun- dation offices, a conference room and a fifty by ninety-six foot ballroom that is designed so that it can be divided into three smaller rooms. The Memorial Union Building is dedicated to those alumni and students of the College who have served their country. McNAIR HALL McNair Hall, completed in 1925, replaced the old Metal- lurgy building which had been destroyed by fire in 1920. The Hall was named in honor of Fred W. McNair who was President of the College until his tragic death in a train accident the year before the building was com- pleted. McNair Hall is the home of the Mineral Dressing and Metallurgical Engineering De- partments. Several fine Me- tallurgical laboratories are housed here. EAST ENGNEERING BUILDING In 1930 the East Engineering building was officially opened. East Engineering is the largest class building on the campus. This build- ing houses the departments of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geo- logy, History, - and Geography. Three large well equipped labora- tories for electricals, mechanicals, ei ile and civils are also found here. On § y ee the top floor of East Engineering is found one of the most complete Mineralogical displays in the State. The display is called Seaman Mu- seum in honor of the late Dr. Sea- man, tamed Geologist and a pro- tessor at Michigan Tech. DOUGLASS HOUGHTON HALL 1938 found the Douglass Houghton Hall opened for the first ti me io incoming male students. With the addition of a new wing in 1948, the Hall is capable of housing about 370 men. Residents of the Hall eat at the dormitory’s large cafeteria. A snack bar. several lounges, a large ball- room, a game room, and a laundry room are other facili- ties that make the Douglass Houghton Hall a well rounded home for Techmen. KOENIG HALL Koenig Hall has had two additions built onto it since it was first built in 1921. The first addition was made _ in oa trecna: atecincluded: the laboratories and several class rooms. The second addition was made in 1942. On the second floor of this addition is located a branch of the Michigan State Health De- partment. On the other two floors are located some of the classrooms and the well equipped laboratory of the Chemical Engineering Depart- ment. CENTRAL HEATING PLANT The new central heating plant started operation in the fall of 1950, replacing the old plant which had become inadequate for the expanding facilities of our college. The new plant is a steam-heating unit supplying the whole cam- pus with the exception of Hubbell School. SHERMAN GYMNASIUM In 1948 the long awaited Sher- man Gymnasium replaced the old Clubhouse as the center of Michigan Tech athletics. The new gym is probably the most complete physi- cal education plant in northern Michigan. The gym contains a large gymnasium floor along with facili- ties for basketball, volleyball, bad- minton, tennis, squash, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, and hand- ball. A feature is an olympic size, 75x30 foot, swimming pool with all the latest equipment, including an underwater lighting system. Ample locker space, training rooms, and staff offices complete the make up of beautiful Sherman Gymnasium. M. C. M. T. SKI AREA In 1947 Tech took over the huge natural bowl above Ripley and began to groom it into the beautiful ski area it is today. Today there are four electric tows, two of them portable, with a total length of 2700 feet. There are three excellent ski runs with a ver- tical drop of 320 feet. Two jumps are always in great shape. Another feature of the area is the “Huskie Hut” where skiers gather to warm up. The Tech ski area’s popu- larity is evidenced by the 8,000 skiers who enjoyed the. slopes last year. DEE STADIUM Michigan Tech’s Dee Sta- | dium was presented to the | college in 1943 as a gift from | ihe late James R. Dee. In | 1953, after ‘many years of | trying, an artificial ice plant was installed. Dee Stadium’s ice is in almost constant use during the winter months. It is the home of two hockey staiwarts, the Portage Lake Pioneers and the Michigan Tech Huskies. Junior hockey players of the Houghton area and Tech intramural teams along with hundreds of plea- sure skaters, all help to make Dee one of the Copper Coun- try’s favorite winter play- grounds. A few of the additions to the Michigan Tech campus have been left out of the cibove account due to a lack of space in this book. These omissions are: Hubbell School, the Denton House, the Barry House, and Engineers Field. Enough has been included, we think, to impress the reader with the rapid growth of the College’s facilities during the first thirty years of the Keweenawan. Today Michigan Tech’s enrollment is again rising at a rapid rate and a need for even greater expansion is being faced. Future Keweenawans will no doubt record many more additions to our beautiful campus. Some additions are already in the blue-print stage and others are being pla nned. A large research building will be going up in the very near future, and a new male student’s dormitory is being planned as this is being written. A new library is badly needed and will undoubtedly be a reality during the next few years. The next topic of this historical section of the Keweenawan’s thirtieth anniver- sary issue will be some brief sketches of the three men who have so ably led this institution as President during the last thirty years. 10 MICHIGAN TECH FROM 1924 TO 1954 The year that the first Keweenawan was published Dr. Fred W. McNair was the president of the College—he had held the post since 1893. He had developed the college through his enthusiasm, drive and ability from a “mining school” to a college that had achieved worldwide recognition. The enrollment had more than triplea; six major buildings had been erected and plans for a new metallurgy building had been completed. Disaster struck only a month after the first “Keweenawan’ appeared. On one of his trips in the interest of the College and the profession he represented, Dr. McNair was killed in a train accident. McNair Hall, completed the following year, was named in his memory. Dr. William Otis Hotchkiss became president of the College in 1925. An eminent geologist, he brought a new vision of the place of the College in American education. He saw the wisdom of broadening the College’s scope of education to meet the future demand for engineers in all fields, and as a result of his leader- shio Michigan Tech became a “College of Technology” in 1927. In 1928 the first ROTC engineer battalion was established at the College, and in 1930 the East Engineering Building was completed. And during Dr. Hotchkiss’ wise administration, enrollment was more than doubled. Dr. Hotchkiss left Michigan Tech in 1935 to become president of Rensselaer Polytech. Dr. Grover C. Dillman had achieved an enviable record of accomplishment as Michigan Highway Commissioner and as State Welfare Commissioner. Becoming Michigan Tech’s fifth administrator in 1935, he brought new vigor to the College on its fiftieth birthday. In 1936 Forestry was added to the College’s curricula, and when ECPD accrediting was put into effect in 1937, Michigan Tech was among the top dozen of the 153 engineering colleges then in existence. Throughout Dr. Dill- man’s presidency Michigan Tech has maintained its top-ranking accreditation. During his administration new departments were created in civil engineering, forestry, engineering administration, mineral dressing, Air Force ROTC, forest pro- ducts research, and geological engineering. The past thirty years have been milestones in Michigan Tech’s progress. That progress is a tribute to the abilities and leadership of Presidents, McNair, Hotchkiss, and Dillman—men who have given the most fruitful years of their careers to the educational ideal Michigan Tech represents. a ig DR. F. W. McNAIR DR. W. O. HOTCHKISS DR. G. C. DILLMAN | | | | | a nem rr ENTREE TH PAD MM pO Gy Giro) During the past thirty years, Michigan Tech athletics have made tremendous gains. In 1924 Tech competed in only the four major sports and only in hockey did they compete on a large scale. Today Tech participates with many colleges in ten major and minor sports. The completion of Sherman Gymnasium in 1948 and the installation of artificial ice at James R. Dee Stadium in 1953 brought the college’s athletic facilities up to a standard unequalled by many schools their same size. . The following pictures illustrate a few of the highlights in our major sports through the past thirty years. Hockey has been one of Tech’s top sports for many years. About 1926 Tech be- gan to fill their schedule with big time college competition, and they’ve been right in the thick of it ever since. In the past Tech has played with major universities throughout the nation. In 1951, Tech and six other schools formed the Midwest Hockey Conference. This Conference has produced the National champion ever since its conception so it is easy to see the caliber of competition that Tech teams meet annually. Tech hockey teams have produced many of the games stars. From the past come such names as John Croze, Ed. Maki, Villeneuve, and the popular three time captain, “Abbie” Maki. In more recent years All Americans Joe De- bastiani and Bob Monahan, along with speedy Ray Puro, have performed magnificently 1948—Albert “Abbie” Maki, for the Silver and Gold. To- 1952—Joe Debastiani Capt. 1946-’47-'48 day it’s Taylor and McGinn. Everyone’s Favorite | ie 1951—One of Tech’s oldest rivals— the U. of Minnesota 1949—Tech split a pair with the U. of Calif. California goalie made 120 saves in 2 games 1949—Freshman Doug Koski on 1947—A good save by Minnesota goalie a break-away 13 1948—One of many points during Tech's FOOTBALL Football is Tech’s oldest or- ganized varsity sport. It started with contests between classes and with high schools In the area. Tech didn’t carry ainy large schedules until the late 1930’s. In 1940 Tech completed its first really suc- cessful season with a five and one record. The 1940 team was the largest to that time. During the war years Tech aropped football for three seasons, resuming play with a 1943—The usual Houghton weather full schedule in 1946. In 1947, Allan J. Bovard took the helm and under his guidance Tech football entered a new era. In his second year, Mr. Bovard guided the team to the only undefeated, untied football season in the school’s history. Bovard coached teams have compiled the commendable record of 30 wins, 18 losses, and 3 ties, and have built up a good reputation for Tech sports throughout the mid- west. 1951—Surrounded! 1947—The cheering squad 1952—Tech 72, St. Norberts 87 1947— Big crowd at ihe clubhouse. 1950—A goed geome in a bad season. BASKETBALL Varsity basketball has ex- perienced a rough time at Tech. In 1948 Verdie Cox became coach and the Sher- man Gymnasium was opened. Immediately Tech’s basketball fortunes took a turn for the better and at the time of this writing, Cox’s Huskies ap- peared to be on their way to one of Tech’s best seasons on the hardwood. Gary Lundin of Iron River, Michigan, holds the Tech scoring records. His records of 34 points in a sin- gle game and 237 points for a season were both set in the 1952-53 season. 1938—We win one, 34 to 28. 1952—Verdie Cox has his “Huskies” rolling. 1949—Dedication of the new gym. z uv ER.

Limited space and supply of pictures prevents the staff from presenting a complete account of the many changes. The following articles present some of the more interesting developments among student organizations that have taken place since the first Keweenawan was published. DELTA SIGMA PHI in October, 1947, Delta Sigma Phi became the newest fraternity on the Michigan Tech campus. In March, 1948, an installation com- mittee trom the Alpha Pi chapter at Michigan State College came up to install the new Beta Pi chapter. — Forty-six charter members were Ee — initiated into the first national social fraternity to be located at Michigan Tech. During the seven years of its existence here, Delta Sigma Phi has established itself as a valuable as- set to campus scholastic and social life. ae Boe 2 BEFORE: COLLEGE AVE. EYE-SORE AFTER: K. D. FRATERNITY HOUSE THETA CHEEPSIFON In March, 1940, the Tech co-eds organized Theta Chi Epsilon, the first and only sorority on the Mich- igan Tech campus. On March 7, of the same year, the charter members drew up a constitution and elected their first officers. Faculty advisor was Miss Ella Wood. The sorority immediately became active in all campus activities. Despite being small in number the co-eds have in many instances taken prizes in com- petition with many men’s organiza- tions during Winter Carnivals and Homecomings. 1A if THE CHEERLEADING CLUB In 1937 an ambitious group of Tech men organized a cheerleading club for the first time. Until the war years the club was very active and Tech was at an all time high. Since the war there have been few cheerleading squads organized. This year another attempt has been made to reorganize a cheerleading club and build up Tech’s lagging spirit. Once again they have met little success. We hope that in the future Tech students will greet the cheerleaders with the enthusiasm that is deserved for their hard work. 3 GENE KNAEBEL FRED LONSDORFF M. C. M. T. SKI CLUB—1938 In 1938 Michigan Tech ventured inio a new field of sport, skiing. In December, 1938, the Ski Club was organized by Ford C. Rea and by the end of the season boasted fifty members. The skiers did so well that skiing was immediately classed as a major sport at Tech. Through the years the Tech ski team has enjoyed almost uninterrupted success. For the past few years the team has been coached by Fred Lonsdorf. Today the Ski Club is one of the largest organizations, and through its Ski Patrol contributes a great service to the school and community. 18 ihn ORES RESEARCH LABORATORY In the preceding section we have attempted to tell the story of Michigan Teci, over the last thirty years. Its pages tell the story of a growing college as taken from past Keweenawans. The future of Michigan Tech is as promising as the past has been illustrious. The state legislature this year appropriated enough money to begin the construction ot the Ores Research Laboratory. Work on the new men’s dorm will start this summer. Some time in the not too distant future a new library will be added to our campus, as well as additional. classroom and laboratory. facilities. Although it is still only a dream, an auditorium might some day be erected to fill our pressing need of an assembly hall. And perhaps the dream nearest and dearest to the hearts of so many people associated with the college will eventually be fulfilled—the new sports arena. Dr. J. Wilbur Van Evera, B.S., E.M., 1907; D. Eng. 1952 A man whose life and work merit the honor of his College, J. Wilbur Van Evera symbolizes the spirit and loyalty of Michigan Tech Alumni. He is known throughout the mining world as a pioneer of open-pit mining techniques and hydraulic stripping, and in his professional attainments he has left an example for the thousands of Techmen who have followed him. | For forty-seven years as an Alumnus of the College, Dr. Van Fyvera has maintained the closest ties with his Alma Mater. He has served as President of the Alumni Association and of the Minnesota Alumni Club. Together with other farsighted Alumni, he signed the original trust agreement of the Alumni Foundation in August, 1941, and became Chairman of the Foundation Board of Trustees in November of that year. Accepting the challenge of his position on the Foundation Board, and in addition to his professional duties, he organized and directed the Alumni Foun- dation fund-raising campaign that made the Memorial Union possible. His vision and his enthusiasm have helped to make Michigan Tech a better College for us and for those who follow us. He has sensed the needs of Techmen of a half-century ago; he has dedicatec himself to fulfulling those needs for the genera- tions of Techmen to come. The Keweenawan salutes the spirit of the Alumni of Michigan Tech as typified by Dr. Van Evera, a man whom we are proud to honor. The Thirtieth Anniversay Keweenawan is dedicated to him. a Se ee ee et eee Jn F E ADMINIS CEERI AA LLIE LOLS.

Chi Epsilon, the national honorary fraternity for Civil Engineers, was organized in 1922. The local chapter here at Michigan Tech was installed in 1943. It was organized to recognize those characteristics of the individual deemed fundamental to the successful engineer and to aid in the development of those traits. Selection of members is based not only on scholarship, but also on character, practicability, and sociability, all of which are considered io be requirements of a successful engineer. GEORGE W. SWENSON, Electrical Engineering Professor Swenson, whose home town is Willmar, Minnesota, graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1917, then returning for his Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering which he received in 1921. After having received his Master’s degree, Professor Swenson was em- ployed as a telephone engineer by the Western Electric Corp. This lasted for only a short time, as he returned to his Alma Mater to be an instructor and Assistant Professor in the Electrica! Dept. He kept that position until 1928 when the Michigan Tech Electrical En- gineering Department was organized under his direction and guidance. This marks over twenty years in his capacity as Head of the Department in addi- tion to being a counselor for this period. The A. |. 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 fraternities, he be- longs to Kappa Eta Kappa and the Service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega. On jop of this formidable array of honors, he is also an author of an Electrical Engineering Text and various protessional papers. Belanger, Robert N. B.S Electrical Engineering Lind, M. B.S.

SERS 1953 FOOTBALL The 1953 football season was the most dismal in many years, the 2-5 record being the worst a Bovard-coached Huskie team has ever had. Playing for ihe first time in their college career under a limited-substitution rule, many players found the going too rough and left the squad. As a result, Coach Bovard had only six seniors, four ends, a guard, and a halfback, to base his squad on. To bolster these seniors, Capt. Gene Taglienti, Jim Anderson, Kim Gillette, Hal Williams, Ron Trudell, and Bill Grosser, Bovard relied heavily on many freshmen to round out the squad. The team showed a definite lack of experience in one-platoon football in all their games, especially the first few. A pouring rain and many fumbles gave them a victory over Northland, and the Homecoming spirit inspired them to victory over Ferris. The next Saturday the team followed by many loyal fans, journeyed to Marquette to battle Northern for the Upper Peninsula cham- pionship. In the most exciting game played in years, the Wildcats nosed: out the Huskies by scoring a touchdown in the last minute of play and getting the tie-breaking extra point on a dramatic pass play. 120 All was not in vain, however, for the team played hard and had many good moments along with the bad ones. Gary Heilala broke away for many long runs and George Hill, Jim Nyquist, and Ed Bishop were stalwarts of Tech’s strong line. In addition, many promising freshmen gained valuable experience for the seasons to come. That’s the story. Nothing left to do now but .. . PUNT! 12] mb ONG (CE. The 1954 hockey season was the beginning of a new era in Tech’s sports history. The installation of artificial ice into Dee Stadium gave assurance of good ice to play on at all times and insured months of pre-season practice for the team. The artificial ice was not the only new item, for most of the faces on the team were new also. The graduation of Joe Di Bastiani and Ray Puro and their teammates left Coach Al Renfrew with only six returning lettermen and two sophomores. Hence twelve freshmen conned the black and white uniforms of the Huskies during the season. The dedication of the new ariificial ice featured the first of a two game series between the Portage Lake Pioneers and the Tech Huskies. With Dee Stadium packed with spectators both nights the team battled evenly all the way with Portage Lake gaining a close decision in the second game after coming from behind to tie the first game. The team went on the road for six games then and came home with two victories as they furnished the opposition for Montana School of Mines debut into intercollegiate hockey. Ray Kestner was lost for the season, though, sutter- ing a broken leg. Against Western Hockey league competition the team didn’t fare so well, beating only Michigan State and finishing in the cellar of the league. Most humiliating were the four shutouts thrown at them by North Dakota, a team that won only one league game afterwards. The Huskies were not a pushover, though. Fans will not soon forget the Winter Carnival series against Michigan when a determined Tech team made up a three-goal deficit in the third period and took the vaunted Wolverines into overtime before losing. Two weeks later the league champion Minnesota Gophers were played to a stanastill and needed an overtime to win. To name the star of the team wouid be impossible for the team was well- balanced. All three lines had scoring ability and all the defensemen were capable. Though a dark one, the 1954 season gave ihe young Tech team much valuable experience and as a team played together more and more, they improved greatiy. Graduating are co-captains George McGinn and Harry Taylor, Ray Kestner, Paul Tormala, and Ken Kulju, but those that return next season have the fans’ confidence that they will carry the glory of Michigan Tech to new and greater heights.

The 1954 team compiled an eleven won—five lost record that is the best record a Cox-coached team has ever had. The eleven wins is the largest number a Tech team has had in its history. Sparkplugs of this great team were Terry Thompson and Herm Gierow, both playing their first year for the silver and gold. Thompson led the team in scoring and Gierow was second even though he missed some games due to injuries. Both played superbly on defense as well, as opponents often found it quite difficult to score on Tech. Thrills galore were experienced by the Tech fans for the team won many close games at home while losing none. After two defeats on the road, the team found itself and opened their undefeated home season with a _ thrilling one-point victory over Superior. Ray Trewhella scored a basket in the last second afier Gierow intercepted a Superior pass. The Huskies also proved to be a match for a strong Duluth team, which had lost only one game before bowing to the Huskies. Dan Stupka scored 20 points to lead a red-hot Tech team.

Seniors on the team are only three, Capit. Bob Soderberg, Jim Anderson, and George Greiss. Thus Coach Cox is looking forward to another successful season next year, even better than 1954, the best ever. RESULTS Tech Opp. Tech Opp. : St. WGroeriametaes wna D 89 lowrence lech 264.2...

The five-year old team swept through four meets and sét many new pool records. In December. they traveled into Wisconsin and came home with a victory over a Beloit team that had been undefeated for three seasons. They also swamped an out-classed Lawrence squad. Then came the feature of the year, for the first time two home meets. Hcippily splashing in their own pool, the Huskies beat an always-powerful St. Thomas squad in the first and defeated Macalester in the second home meet. The team set new records in three events, and sophomore Herb Schreiber took part in all three. Schreiber in the 2CO yd. backstroke, Schreiber in the 150 yd. individual medley, and Stowe, Babcock, and Schreiber in the 300 yd. medley relay were the record-setters. With the loss of only two seniors, Captain Bob Battsche and Dave Cicchi, the team stands a good chance of remaining unbeaten for quite awhile.

Ripley during the Winter Carnival. lt was a close meet but it appeared as though Tech would take it as they were chead in the slalom near the end of the second day, having won the downhill races the day before, when the team suddenly became plagued with falls and other mishaps. The UMD quickly took advantage of this and won by a scant one percent. The team’s second meet was held at Duluth under sub-zero weather conditions (13° below) and was the Central Intercollegiate Four Event. UMD again beat Tech out for first honors in this meet, marking the first time in several years that they have been able to beat Tech twice in the same season. The final meet of the season saw Tech easily run off with the Michigan Inter- collegiate Skiing Championship by beating the University of Michigan, Michigan State, Cent ral Michigan, Wayne University and Western Michigan.

The intramural sports program has been advanced and fine teams are being presented. Always popular among the many Sig social functions are the Annual Christmas Party, the Spring Formal, and the Graduation Party. This year a Fall Smelt Fry was introduced along with a Halloween Party later in the season. Sigma Rho Fraternity, as always, stands for fraternity leadership, furtherance of campus activities, and continuance of the firm bonds of brotherhood.

Their theme is dynamic devolpment and progress—of the student, the College, and the Chapier. Thirty-three Techmen pledged to Delta Sigma Phi during 1953-54, bringing new ideas, new leadership, and new enthusiasm into the chapter. The growth of Beta Pi is Keeping pace with its international organization of seventy-four active chapters, | bringing together in a bond of fellowship college men throughout the United States and Canada. Anticipating its own growth, Beta Pi chapter’s Alumni Board purchased in 1953 a select piece of property for a new chapter house at Upland Road and Woodland | Avenue. Actually a whole block, the property is an ideal location for the Delta | | Sigs of the future. The Carnation Ball on December 12 and the Sailor’s Ball on May 8 were high- lights of the social year of Delta Sig. Graduation came this year for twenty-four brothers. We'll miss them but we'll long remember their active leadership. A toast to them and the Bond of Delta Sigma Phi. President Richard J.

The 1953 Show was the first to feature exhibits from industrial concerns throughout the country. The addition of the new Memorial Union Building on the campus made this phase of the show possible. Features from industry included the General Motors’ Parade of Progress, a quarter cf a million dollar exhibit from the United States Navy, and a model of the new Straits bridge. The other major phase of the Show was that of the exhibits built and operated by the students and faculty of Michigan Tech. The 1953 Engineering Show proved a great success. It was attended by nearly 20,000 people from the Wisconsin-Michigan area. 1952—ENGINEERING SHOW COMMITTEE—1953 GeneralChatnman’! 3) geass sens artis ee gee ane Gerald L.

The Beta Delta chapter of Gamma Delta, at Michigan Tech, is a Lutheran Student’s organization established primarily to give students the advantages of Christian fellowship with other students while attending M. C. M. T. The regular bi-weekly meetings are held in the Parish Hall of the St. Peter and Paul’s Lutheran Church in Hancock, where many of the social functions are also held. The organization has been active in all student activities here at Michigan Tech this past year as well as their traditional Initiation Banquet, picnics, and numerous other “get-togethers.” OE a ai at moa Ae: President ..o%2n.,. ws csuk Gh cohen tamed ae mae ee Lloyd F.

Tne Michigan Tech Christian Fellowship was founded in 1948 as the résult of a need for a student-led, interdenominational Christian club on campus. M. T. C. F. is a chapter of the national Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship, which has member groups in colleges and universities in almost every state in the union. The organization is indepedent, and no previous church affiliation is needed to take part. Among its activities the Fellowship sponsors student Bible discussions, special speakers and films, and various social programs. One of the main objectives is to examine the validity of historic Christian faith, and its application in student life. Inter-Collegiate conferences are also held several times a year throughout the Upper Peninsula, uniting students from Northern Michigan College of Education at Marquette, Gogebic College, in Ironwood, Wisconsin State, at Superior, and the University of Minnesota, at Duluth.

A secular school is responsible only for providing the means of the student’s secular education. First in importance then, is the Newman Club’s religious program. At Mich. Tech there are special devotions in the form of Corporate Communions at least once each term, Group Rosaries each Thurs- day evening at the Newman House, and a Living Rosary in cooperation with the nurses of St. Joseph’s Medical Center. Secondly, the student will not be able to recognize all the dangers to his faith unless he is well instructed in the teachings of the church in ali phases of life. Cardinal Newman said, “Ignorance is the root of littleness.” If Newmanites are to learn to sanctify the Academic life, they must apply the principles of their religion in all phases of life. There are weekly discussion groups on Catholic Moral Guidance moderated by our chaplain. Non-Catholics are invited to attend these sessions. The chaplain is available for spiritual advice and counsel. Until all Catholic students engage with spirit and enthusiasm in this intellectual program, the club and its individual members will remain “little.” 186 Newman Club Row 1: E. A. Gust, N. R.

Lastly, man is a social being. The Newman Club recognizes this, and provides a program of entertainment and recreation for its members. This is the best oppor- tunity for Catholic students to become acquainted and to enjoy themselves under Catholic auspices. Under this heading are the informal dances after the regular business meetings, the Communion breakfasts after the Corporate Communions each term, the Christmas party that the Newman Club arranged and carried out for the children of the Baraga Indian Orphanage, and the various parties held during the school year for all Catholic students on campus. It might be mentioned here that the Newman Club is especially proud of the fine showing they made in the Intramural sports of basketball and bowling, and in the Winter Carnival events. Their Queen Candidate, Valerie DeMars, shared top honors while the members turned out a place winning float and snow statue plus the winner of the Beard Contest. The officers of the Newman Club for the school year 1953-54 were: President, Paul Fehrenbach; V. President, Steve Wilkosz; Secretary, Hugh McShane; and Treasurer, William E. Serchak.

He was assisted by Vice President, Bill Mossner; Recording Secretary, Jack Racine; Corresponding Secretary, Eunice Niemi; and Treasurer, Al Robertson-Steve Langford. Regular meetings were held bi-weekly from November through February. These meetings consisted of the usual order of business, followed by colored movies of skiing in some of the most famous mountain ski areas, and often wound up with coffee and donuts. Once during the season, Coach Fred Lonsdorf gave a talk on what to look for in purchasing ski equipment and how to care for it. One fine snowy Sunday in January, hoards of skiers were seen all over the campus piling into cars surmounted with racks of hickories. Up the hill and out _L. to r.: Row 1: R. W. Bowlus, R. M.

It was an annual outing for the Ski Club and almost every member turned out for the occasion. They all congregated for lunch in the rustic Porcupine Mountain Ski Chalet and soon thereafter all the trails in the ski area were swarming with Michigan Tech Huskie skiers. All agreed that the day was well spent. The Michigan Tech Huskies Ski Club is a member of the Central United States Ski Association, an organization which links together most of the Ski Clubs in the middle-west. As a member in good standing of this organization, the Tech Club was proud to’sponsor this year the Central Junior Downhill and Slalom Championship meet at Ripley Hill. It was generally agreed by “insiders” and “outsiders” alike that this ranked among the finest ski meets that have been held in the central area. To add to the club’s prestige, the local Junior skiers walked off with most of the championship crowns. Bea L. to r.: Row 1: N. A. Rautiola, J. F. Pohlman, Row 2: T. F. Smegal, Layout; R. C.

Under the leadership of Gail Brown, second woman Editor in the LODE’s years of publication, various staff organizational changes and publication improve- ments were instituted. Dave Knauer, who took over the Business Manager spot from Don Poikonen, greatly increased LODE advertising, both local and national, which made it possible to publish a larger paper at no risk of deficit. Spring term saw a new editorial staff headed by John Wakeman take the helm, with Dave Knauer continuing as Business Manager. Plans for next year include an intensified program to interest students in working on campus pub- lications. Editor... haces etl eel cece Seer ein Gail Brown Assoc.

Tau Beta Pi is the largest and most respected national honorary engineering fraternity, having 96 active chapters with a total membership of over 78,000. The purpose of Tau Beta Pi is to mark in a fitting manner those who have con- ferred honor on their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as undergraduates in engineering, or by their attainment as alumni in ihe field of engineering. Its intention is to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering colleges of America. Members are selected from the upper eighth of the junior class, and upper fifth of the senior class, on the oasis of character, integrity and unselfish activities. Women are not eligible for membership but may be elected to receive a special women’s badge. This year the chapter elected Mrs. Geraldine A. Hartley to receive this badge. The Michigan Beta chapter of Tau Beta Pi was inaugurated at Tech August 19, 1904. This year the chapter celebrated the 50th Anniversary of this occasion. A banquet and other related activities were held in the Spring term. The national officers were present and also all alumni members of the chapter able to make the trip. An interesting time was had by all who took part in the celebration. 196 The Engineering Show Committee osc L. to r.: Row 1: R. A. Mattson, Sec.-Treas.; Row 2: R. M. Neil, G. R. Nordbeck, P. L. J. F.

The Engineering Show Committee is organized as a permanent committee of the Student Council and operates continuously in order that an Engineering Show will be produced on a biennial basis. In post years a new committee was or- ganized at the beginning of each school year, to make preparations for the next Engineering Show. Because of the increase in the size of each succeeding show, it was felt that one committee should be organized at the beginning of the “off” year and continue in office up to, and including, the presentation of the next Engineering Show. This would mean that one committee would hold office for two school years, the Engineering Show being presented in the Spring of the second year. This new policy governed the organization of the 1954-55 Engineering Show Committee. The Central Committee of the Engineering Show Committee consists of the General Chairman, Vice-Chairman, Secretary-Treasurer, and the directors of the various phases of the show. They coordinate the combined efforts of the fourteen departments at Tech, acting through the respective professional societies, or affiliated clubs, the faculty, the local merchants, and the big industrial firms throughout the country to put on the Engineering Show. The next Engineering Show wiil be held in the Spring of 1955. Following the established precedent of making each show larger and more elaborate, every effort is being made to uphold the tradition. 127 L. to r.: Row 1: D. Pagel, N.

The Student Council is the governing body of the students of Michigan Tech. Through the elected representatives and officers, student self-government is per- petuated with the money provided by the Activity Fee, the Council promotes ath- letics, social, and educational activities on campus. Included in the accomplishments of this year’s Student Council are: the re- writing of the Student Organization Constitution; the formation of the Upper Peninsula Association of Stucent Councils; and the support of an extended pro- gram of cultural events for the next school year. Homecoming, Saturday night dances, and financial aid for the glee club, band, and drill team trips are some of the other Council projects.

The Memorial Union Board is provided for by the Constitution of the Memorial Union Association. The Constitution was drawn up by a student and faculty group over a period of about three years, and was approved by the Board of Control of the College and the Student Council in the fall of 1952. The Board consists of twelve members, six of whom are students appointed by the Student Council; the balance is composed of a representative of the Alumni Foundation, a representative of the Alumni Association, the treasurer of the Col- lege, a member of the Board of Control, the Union manager, and a faculty representative. The present members are: R. R. Seeber, Alumni Foundation; J. Fisher, Alumni Association; P. M. Thornton, Board of Control; E. J. Townsend, Treasurer; F. M. Harwood, Union Manager; G. J. Caspary, Faculty representative. Student members include: R. R. Hocking, Chairman; D. H. Feisel, Vice-chairman; G. Nordbeck, Secretary; L. F. Lockwood, E. S. Taglienti, and R. S$. Howard. During the past year the Union Board sponsored a Winter Carnival photo contest and also organized a stamp collectors club. The Memorial Union Board has acted mostly as an advisory group in attempting to express the student views on management and policy decisions. 199 oodmar Council L. to r.: Row 1:,J. A.

Franz Schubert, the Michigan Tech Glee Club has enjoyed one of its best years, both in the number of students participating and in excellent performance. The Glee Club performed many times locally on various occasions, sang at most of the local high school assembly programs, and had a Spring Concert and a Spring Tour which took the boys to the Bay City, Saginaw, Flint area. The Glee Club will lose three members through graduation which indicates another fine group for the future. The officers of the group are: Charles Lindberg, President; Edward Jutzi, Vice-president, Edward Kern, Secretary, and Franz Schubert, Treasurer. 201 L. to r.: Row 1: A. Wettberg, H. Grunzig, B. J.

Blue Key, National Honorary Service Fraternity was founded in 1924 at the University of Florida, and was inaugurated at Michigan Tech in 1932. The purpose of the organization is to promote worthwhile student activities. Members are chosen from the upper one-half of the Junior and Senior classes on the basis of interest, participation, and leadership in student activities and their willingness to work to improve their college and the activities which enrich student life on the campus, scholarship being only a secondary requirement. During the past year Blue Key has again sponsored the Winter Carnival, the highlight of the year’s social activities at Michigan Tech. This year, in order to increase participation in the Winter Carnival, the competition between campus organizations was divided into two classes, so that small organizations would be in competition among themselves. The members of Blue Key can be justly proud of the best Winter Carnival yet. Orit leGreekes ictal tad: +O eae Wieck ian Cea NO ee Duane H. Feisel MICE PhesiCeniim me tite a.
