Menzel on January 3, 1955, Michigan Tech lost a beloved 'faculty member. Yet he lives on in the memories ot the thousands ot stu- dents whom he taught as a member ot the Chemistry Department since l94O. Quietly unassuming, yet an exacting teacher, Dr. Menzel won the sincere respect of those he taught. His was a lite ot scholarship and devotion to the quest of scientific truth. We shall never be able to measure the profound contribution he made to the education ot his students. We know, however, that the success ot his students both in college and as Alumni is due, in part, to the standards he embraced, his understanding, and the interest he took in them as their teacher. He died as he had lived, at his office desk where he had completed a day's preparation of his lectures and a new term's work for his classes. In recognition ot his service as a teacher at our College, we dedicate the 1955 Keweenawan to his memory. 3 7955 KEWEENA WAN STAFF EDITOR ....,..... ASSISTANT EDITOR . . . BUSINESS MANAGER . . .

IT was The largesT class enTering Tech in iTs 69-year hisTory. The freshmen sfarfed The week off by meeTing Their orienfafion leader. Early Monday morning They were given a Tcur of Their newly elecfed campus. Many of The freshmen regisfered on Tuesday and answered quesTionnaires. ThaT nighT all The coaches and sporf sTaff gave speeches on The sporT which They represent here on campus. Faculry nighT They were introduced To The faculTy. Ted BarreTT was Masfer of Ceremonies. Each infroducfion was accompanied by wiTTicisms. Wednesday nighf aT The R. 0. T.

WiTh Their poTs in hand, The groups were off like a herd of TurTles on The quesf. The poor unforTunaTes Thaf rerurned early, some wifh sand bags, railroad Ties, confederaTe flags and many oTher odd arficles, were given assignmenTs To keep Them busy unfil ll:OO p.m. aT which Time They were marched up To The Houghfon High School field wiTh The Task of clearing The rocks off The field. Thursday nighT saw The freshmen gaily sTyled in paiamas of assorfed colors. They were marched in single file Through Houghfon and across The bridge To Hancock. Seniors wifh flares lighTed The pafh of The long TwisTing snake. Many of The freshmen were Taken Through The local spofs. The Friday nighf of Frosh Week proved To be quife exciTing. While The freshmen were geTTing clued in aT The R. O. T. C. building The sophomore defend- ers were congregafing aT The base of The flagpole. As The frosh arrived, one could hear a chanT echoing down The field: We wanT The freshmen . The baTTering ram of human bodies Tried and Tried again, buf To liTTle advanfage. Two men did succeed To geT one-Third up The greased pole. Too bad The frosh didn'T know They were sophomores. As a moral To The Frosh: lf aT firsT you don'T succeed, Tromp on nexf year's class. To The music of The Sfarliners, freshmen week came To a close wiTh a dance in The Union Building Safurday nighf.

MosT of The personnel were playing Their firsT season under coach Al Bovard, and six- Teen of These firsT year men, in- cluding six freshmen, earned leTTers. OuTsTanding among The indi- vidual sTars was The work of sixTy minuTe linemen, Ed Bishop and Jim Nyquisf, elecTecl hon- orary co-capTains of The Team. ED BISHOP-Co-Captain-i954 Mosf Valuable Player Bishop worked in The guard sloT and gained mosf valuable play- er disTincTion while Nyquisf played Tackle and received LiTTle All-American Hon- orable MenTion. The Huskies lack of experience found Them wiThouT a scoring punch Through The firsT half of The season, Though They moved The ball well around midfield oefore sfalling inside The opponenT's TwenTy yard line. Thus Tech losT iTs firsT four games of The season-Three of Them by one Touchdown, and Then finally hit The vicfory Trail wiTh wins over NorThland, lvloorehead, and ST. Cloud. ln The opening game of The season aT STevens PoinT, Wisconsin, The Huskies dropped a close game To The PoinTers T3-6. ST. NorberT's was The second opponenT To be reckoned wiTh, This Time on En- gineers' Field. ST. NorberT's kicked off To open The game and quarTerback Bob McKenzie prompTly goT The Huskies rolling in a susfained drive ThaT ended in a Touchdown pass To Gil Mroz for The firsT score of The game. ST. NorberT's quickly reTaliaTed wiTh an 80 yard scoring kickoff reTurn. Then in The Third quarTer again making The counT l3-6. Tech foughT back wiTh an aerial aTTack ThaT ended in a McKenzie To Ken lvlasse complefion in The end zone only To lose The lead again in The final minuTes as ST. NorberT's Tallied The lasT seven poinfs of The game. Final score: 2014, ST. Nor'berT's. Ferris lnsTiTuTe's besT fooTball Team in hisTory, playing on Their home grounds dealT Tech iTs mosT decisive defeaf of The year 25-Op alfhough, again The Huskies picked up The mosT firsf downs in The game buT failed To score. Twice They were sTopped inside The Ten yard line, once affer Fred Barry's 63 yard iauni which broughf Tech To The Ferris' 2 where The drive failed. Tech's policy of gaining yards and accumulaTing firsT downs reached iTs peak in The Homecoming game under The lighTs aT Michigan Tech's new aThleTic field 44 before a record crowd. Northern Michigan came out on top 13-6 while the Huskies gained four times as many first downs, failing to have the needed punch inside the twenty yard line. lt was a win-hungry team that took the field for Michigan Tech at Ashland, Wisconsin against Northland. The Huskies had dropped four straight games that they should have won and were outito put an end to that losing streak. Yet North- land took an early first quarter lead of 6-O, but Tech bounced back in the second period with Bob McKenzie and Gil Mroz scoring to make the halt time score I3-6. Fabro scored for the Huskies in the third quarter, offsetting a late Northland touchdown and the game ended Tech: 20, Northland: 13. Inspired by the first taste of victory, the Techmen returned to Engineer's Field to meet Moorehead State Teachers and promptly chalked up win number two, 13-O. Scoring twice in the first quarter on 49 and 58 yard runs by Ken Mosse and Fred Barry respectively, the Huskies won their first game before a i954 home crowd on a wet snow-covered field-typical of late season Michigan Tech home football games. In the last contest of the 1954 gridiron season, the Huskies had to come from behind to chalk up victory number three at St. Cloud, Minnesota. A sec- ond quarter score by quarterback Bob McKenzie following a 76 yard march was offset by two St. Cloud touchdowns and a field goal, putting the Huskies on the short end of a T5-6 half time score. But the determined Huskies roared back with an i8 yard scoring aerial from McKenzie to John Erickson and a 56 yard march, McKenzie scoring on a quarterback sneak to take the game I8-15. Outstanding during the season was the line play of Nyquist and Bishop, and the hard running of Fred Barry who led the team in rushing. Quarterback Bob McKenzie used the Bovard split T to perfection leading the team in total offense, and sharing scoring honors with Ken Mosse. The Huskies of i955 will miss the services of six graduating seniors: Ed Bishop, Gene Foco, Gil Mroz, Pete Noblet, Jim Nyquist, and Paul Vitton.

The student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers here at Michigan Tech is one of the many chapters, both student and professional, which exist throughout the country with home offices located in New York City. Our chapter is intended to familiarize prospective chemical engineers with their field and associates through Contact and discussion at meet- ings, participation in group projects which come up from time to time, such as the engineering show, regular college activities, etc. lt also pro- vides a chance for the students to meet and become acquainted with one another in a more relaxed atmosphere than is available in the class- room. Dr. George M. Machwart, Professor of Chemical Engineering, guides the chapter in its activities and functions, and has proven an able and friendly counselor to us, his advice being respected and appreciated by all. 57 Chemical Engineers Wittmer, Sec., K.

At that time the winner of the buck shoot was awarded a .3O.-.30 deer rifle. A venison dinner was enjoyed by Tech Foresters and their guests at the Ripley Fire Hall on December the eleventh. Among the guests were Dr. Dillman and several local conservation officers. The club was very fortunate to have received a cabin as a gift from the Michigan Department of Conservation. This log cabin has a central room with large fireplace, three bunk rooms, and one large kitchen. The lodge is equipped with the essentials for camp life, and the club plans to expand its facilities at Otter River. The Otter River camp was originally developed to propagate the Michigan Grayling-since this trout could not maintain sufficient numbers in our Upper Peninsula streams. The project was later dropped and now the camp has become the property of the Michigan Tech Forestry Department for use of the Forestry Club. Y ... .

The founders wished to show recognition of and offer congratulations to the freshmen who earned high scholastic honors during their initial year of college. Phi Eta Sigma has accomplished this throughout the years. With eligibility dependent only upon scholastic achievement, a definite goal is established. Men entering college are given a goal to reach. Men achieving high :':holastic grades are given suitable recognition and honor. Freshmen have the chance to start well, once members, they are inspired to work on and end well. The Michigan Tech Chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, a recent addition to the societies on campus, was formally established in May of 1954. The fraternity has members at both the Houghton campus and the Sault Ste. Marie campus. Although a new organization, Phi Eta Sigma has begun fittingly by taking an active part in the Orientation Week Program, welcoming and introducing the new students to the college. The actives look forward to the growth of Phi Eta Sigma and to a more active and comprehensive participation in student activities. 75 Saber Jets OW 1: M. A. Barton, C. W. Hultmczn, H. F. Levine, P.

George HerTel, also a newcomer, was made AssociaTe Ediior in The fall and did a fine job on The fronT page and overall make-up of The paper. The firsT regular issue in The spring Term saw an aimosf enTirely new ediTorial sfaff aT The helm, headed by Tom Zalac, Edifor, and Frank Meyers, Business Manager. Paul Johnson Took over sporTs, Dave Cole, feaTure, and Ed Miller, adverTising. Barb Findlay and George Herfel remained in Their respecfive posiTions of News and AssociaTe EdiTors.

If MWW Sam 7954-55 HOCKEY Michigan Tech fielded an almost completely new team on Dee Stadium ice in 1955. Only eight lettermen returned from last year's team which finished its Western Hockey League schedule in lclst place. Over a dozen freshmen and transfer students rounded out the squad. With such an array of new talent, coach Al Renfrew had a hard time cutting his squad clown to a workable size. Twelve linemen, six defense- men, and two goalies were selected, but only after the first three games were played. These Huskies, a well-balanced team, kept Tech in con- tention for a playoff berth in league competition all year, fi- nally settling for fourth place dur- ing the closing games of the season. The pucksters won twelve and tied one in their tiventy-six g-Ttme schedule, compiling an eight won, eleven lost and one tied record in league play. They held down second place throughout most of the season. In fifteen games this year, 25,409 spectators watched the CO-CAPTAINS Bob McManus and WallyK Crockett Huskies in Ocllon'-C' new Tech record. Also in the line of new records was an all time high of llo goals during the season, the team averaging 4.5 goals per game. H4 Bob and Jack McManus, considered the top brother combination in amateur hockey gained honors on the All-Western Hockey League team, Bob being chosen as the number one goalie and Jack a second team wingrnan. Later in the year, Co-captain Bob was chosen goalie on the Collegiate All-American team. The Huskies first line ot Ron Stenlund, Clitt Wylie, and Jack Mc- Manus produced halt of the team's T16 goals, being lecl by McManus with twenty-tive goals and twenty assists for a season total at forty- tive points. Other outstanding players on offense were Bill McLay and Pete Aubry. Co-Captain Wally Crockett, Lorne Holden, Harvey Glover, and Willie Tattersall were the stalwarts on the defense that helped goalie Bob Mc- Manus hold Tech's opponents to an average of 3.3 goals per game. Of note among the non-league games on the schedule were two contests against competition from the Northern Michigan-Ontario Hockey League. Tech completely outclassed Escanaba T5-2, and Marquette l l-2. The University of Michigan was selected tor the VVinter Carnival series. Michigan took the Friday night game, but the Huskies bounced back the next afternoon with a -4-T decision in a hard fought contest. One of the highlights of this game was a tree-for-all which broke up the game for several minutes. None ot this year's team will be lost to graduation, and Coach Renfrew, atter a fine season, is looking tor even better hockey at Michigan Tech in the years to come.

Captain Keith Britton, Norm Swanson, Jim Grinstiener, Don Alberta, Stan Ehinger, Don Gendzwell and Hugh McShane constituted Tha Tech squad, which won the match handily-four bouts To two with one draw. Britton, veteran of the Huskie Team, never wasted a minute of the fight as he carried The battle To his opponent Throughout The Three rounds of Their light-middleweight contest. Superior failed To offer competition in The feafherweight division - giving Jim Grin- stiener a victory by forfeit, while in The wel- Terweight division Don Alberta outclassed The Superior boy all The way. ln The heavyweight division Norm Swan- son fought well, but lost a decision. The only TKO on The evening was credited To Stan Ehinger who never let up, bringing The fight To a close in The second round. The light-heavyweight match, was most enioyed by The Superior fight fans. Don Gendzwill, his first Time in The ring, found himself against a faster man and Took o beating in The first round aT The hands of a skillful boxer. The second round was yet another story. Gendzwell bounced back with a hard punching style that floored his opponent Twice before The second bell sounded. The Third round turned out more even with The Superior hoy more cautious and 'Gendzwell 'pressing The attack. The iudges, faced with a Tough decision, called The battle a draw. Hugh McShane, Tech lightweight, fought a creditable bout-working all the time--but lost The fight on The iudges' decision. Due to increased expenses and recent college Trends in The boxing field, Mich- igan Tech will probably discontinue boxing as a major sport in 1956. So the boxers who wore The black and gold in 1955 may well be The last of several strong ring Teams at Michigan Tech. 146 V 1 f VL 'fa W U 2-, x ', ww 3- 1 WNW an Q: AU. , yr l?.,MTw,,qii IL N ' 5 f if ,, Q ,gg Mug! f il ff f 1 .

Led by captain Jim Lehtonen, the swimmers breezed Through four meets, all away from their home pool. Neither Macalaster, St. Thomas, Lawrence College, or Beloit could come close to the Huskies. Outstanding performers were Herb Schreiber and Erett Smith. Schreiber is now unbeaten in two years competition, covering sixteen individual events and eight relays. Smith, a newcomer to the Tech squad, was unbeaten in twelve events this year. RESULTS Tech Opponents 68 16 MACALESTER 69 12 ST.

SKI TEAM The Michigan Tech Huskies Ski team, headed by Captain Norm Jensen in the slalom and freshman Jerry Knaebel in the downhill, swept both interccllegiate 4 event and downhill-slalom ski championships again this year after having been upset by Duluth last year. The four event championships were held at Duluth this year. Tech finished far out in front of Duluth and St. Olafs at the end of the four events. ln downhill Knaebel placed first and his team- NORM JENSEN, CAPTAIN mates finished 6th, 7th, and 8th. 'r ' In the slalom the Huskies swept to overwhelming 'victory with the first four places going to Jensen, Bill Slattery, Knaebel and Roy Slattery respectively. The surprise of the meet was the strong showing of the Tech jumpers, Jack Racine, Tom Polkinghorne, Knaebel and Bill Slattery. The cross country men led by Steve Langford finished second to a very strong Duluth squad. The Central Intercollegiate Down- hill-Slalom Championships were won by the Huskies on the Tech's Ripley Hill. The downhill event was won by P. Schmitt of UMD, who upset our own Knaebel. Jensen again took the slalom with his teammates taking the next three places. UMD and MSC followed Tech in team standings. Prospects are good for another great team next year although the Huskies will miss the services of with Captain Jensen and iumper Jack Racine.

Tech lost two early-season meets to strong competition and then rounded into shape to take a triangular meet and sweep the Michigan Tech Invitational by an impressive score. The Huskies lost their first meet to Lawrence at Appleton and then dropped a close one to St. Norberts at De Pere. At Stevens Point the team caught tire and took revenge on St. Norberts by winning the triangular meet. In the last competition of the year on Engineer's Field, Tech rolled over a field of tive teams from the Upper Peninsula.

DELTA SIGMA PHI One of a network of chapters extending across the continent, Beta Pi Chapter of the Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity is part of a vast bond linking eighty fraternal groups in all parts of the nation and in Canada, this bond is the common endeavor for development of self, school and chapter. This year thirty men were initiated into Beta Pi and seven new officers were elected, the turnover has brought new spirit into the Chapter and valid experience to each of the new men. ln the interests of permanence, the members brought the Chapter to a state of financial independence at the end of 1954. Having completed payments on the heavy mortgage under which the House was acquired, the Chapter of- ficially received full ownership of its location. This was celebrated with a banquet held in January at which the mortgage was burned. The departure of Fay L. Partlo, a leading Delta Sig, was considered a great loss to :the Chapter since he was one of a small group under whose guidance it was brought about nearly a decade ago, and he has supported it loyally ever since. The former Dean left to become president of the South Dakota School of Mines, where he is helping to organize another chapter of the Fraternity. Outstanding social events sponsored by the Delta Sigs this year include the traditional Carnation Ball, held in December, and the gala Sailors' Ball, early in May, considering handicaps both were highly successful. In keeping with its principles of progress and well-rounded activity Beta Pi looks forward to another great year with possible execution of its renowned plans for a new Chapter House. i78 President ......... b 'lst Vice-Presiden1 .... 2nd Vice-President . . .

This year has been no exception. The big project of the year has been the removal of a steam hoist from The abandoned Copper Falls mine, a project which again showed the fraternity's initiative. Social functions of the year included the annual Spring Formal and a buffet supper in honor of the Queen candidate. The annual children's Halloween and Easter parties were again given. ln all of its activities The fraternity symbolizes the brotherhood ond good fellowship of its members who have become respected men worthy of their school and profession T86 I l V.

Beta chapter of Theta Tau has been an active organization on the campus, both professionally cmd socially, since it was established in l906. The members of Theta Tau are active participants in various professional and social organiza- tions on campus. Whatever activity it may be, social, athletic, scholastic or student affairs, Theta Tau's record is always outstanding. Last year, as it has been in the past few years, Theta Tau had the distinction of being the top scholastic organization on the Michigan Tech campus. This year the brothers of H and T are making a strong bid toward the intramural trophy, which they lost by a narrow margin last year. In the annual Homecoming parade Theta Tau's worm finished in third place. The most cherished victory this year was the winning of the Winter Carnival trophy for the fourth consecutive year. In their drive toward the trophy the fraternity copped first place honors in every event except the snow statues in which they finished a close second, thus enabling them to finish with the highest number of ,aunts ever cc-mpiled by the organization. Outstanding among the various social events of the year are the Fall and Spring Banquets, the Winter Carnival Parties, and the Spring Formal. s . T Members of Theta Tau, with the heritage that has been bestowed upon them, must and will strive to maintain the high honors which their brothers preceding them have achieved, and will endeavor to prove themselves honorable and worthy of their school and profession. 190 r......i-l,.- grf.-me-v-H W .,M..n...

Middle Right: Miss Maxine Isola Leif: Mrs. Catherine Seeber Adams DEAR FRIENDS, With this page the 1955 Keweenawan is complete and for the first time in three years the Michigan Tech yearbook is up to date. During our efforts to produce the i955 yearbook the Keweenawan staff re- ceived an immeasurable amount of help and support from the people on the Tech campus and throughout the Copper Country, We would like at this time to recognize those people who did the most in helping us throughout the year. On the opposite page are pictured the staffs of the Alumni Records office and the College Relations office. The Alumni Records Office spent many hours distributing the issues of three different yearbooks during the year. They also did much of our mime-ograph work and were always ready to help us with any task. From College Relations we were able to acquire much of the information used in the articles of the book. Many times during the year we were pressed for the proper picture to use and always ready to help were Paul l-linzman and Howard Stocker from the Physics Department. Their work is scattered throughout the book and was essential to its success. Financially, the merchants of the Copper Country came ro our aid as never before through the advertising featured in the last two sections of the book. Many others, too numerous to mention, helped make this year a successful one for the staff. - To these many friends of the students, we, the yearbook staff, would like to express our appreciation for their unselfish support with the only reward at our command, a sincere and heartfelt . . .
