Pratt Institute - Prattonia Yearbook (Brooklyn, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 112 of the 1954 volume:

ae a oe a a DEDICATION It is with great pleasure that we, the class of 1954, dedicate our yearbook to Dr. Francis H. Horn, the new President of the Institute. It is such a distinct pleasure not only because we are the first to have such an opportunity, but also because his efforts and encouragement during this last academic year have been so graciously given and so gratefully received. We hope this dedica- tion will show our recognition of his endeav- ors and accomplishments. May it repay, in some small measure, his work on our behalf, but also his affability. We laud his remarkable ability to associate student names with student faces and his frequent use of this ability. We believe the greatest praise that we can offer is to label him in the words of his beloved and oft-quoted Alexander Pope “__our guide, philosopher and friend.” James C. Boudreau, Dean of Art School Alfred W. Doll, Acting Dean of the School of Engineering Wayne Shirley, Dean of Library School Florence 8S. Tabor, Dean of Home Economics Robert C. Whitford, Dean of General Studies Our memories——golden bubbles encompassing the past. What lies behind these gilt and globular surfaces? What work and worry that now seems so petty? Sleepless nights? We had our share——but in retrospect we wore them like badges of honor on our lapel. Work unceasing? That too! Yet what we reaped far exceeded what we sowed. Above all this our memories are fourteen karat. The friends we met and kept (and go on keeping) through the years. We write our memoirs and memoirs are these memories tinted with the golden haze diffused from the bubble which encircles them. We hope that in the days to come these mem- ories will conjure for you dreams of what the poets call “‘. . . the golden days of youth.” PRATTONIA Nunzio Alagia Editor-in-Chief Jon Aron Art Editor Al Adabody Frank Bongiorno Don Egensteiner Bill Falcone Steve Frankfurt Tra Goldblatt Ed Lukasiewicz Bob Rubin Ad Section Designer: Skip Hurley Eileen McLaughlin Literary Editor Peter Lynch Dick Olson Fred Marvin Virginia Anderson John Loeffler Jeannette Sanderson Harry Rich Jack Carroll Barbara Simpson Eleanor Marcus Leon Pickus Business Manager Ellen Black Theresa Damasco Toni Mannuzza Frances Power Salvatore Romano Barbara McKeon Margit Schneider Helen Onufer Margaret Pletchny Lorraine Wark Eleanor Maresca Helen Boggs Andy Pinto Photography Editor Nathan Kirpitenikoff Steven Erenburg Cynthia Cox Thelma Kaplan Lila Schwartz Faculty Adviser Mary L.

A black iron-grilled elevator plus Bill, its master; the sudden jolt on fifth floor, (and the moments it takes your stomach to catch up with the rest of you) the decor—state posters, potted palm, photo mural, et al; strains of Stravinsky wafting through the air from a certain class—mood music for album cover designing; (‘‘and how do you expect to sell it without the abstract-impact of the music embodied on the cover’’) Packages, wrapping paper and stationery abounding with pink umbrellas and green rain; bouncing Bodoni, Century Expanded and tracings, tracings, tracings; the appearance of a certain Mr. Worth in Impact who never stayed around to prove his; book jackets, layouts, Lazy Lucy, layouts, Benday, layouts, zip-a-tone, photos and you-guessed-it, layouts—new ones, old ones, adopted and adapted, all devised with one intent, to sell that product, whatsoever it may be; the culmination of it all, the climactic campaign and the cigarettes, coffee and collapse that inevitably accompany it.

Sleepy Hollow is the aptly named lecture room on third floor where no matter who is speaking on what subject the architects doze. In accordance, we named our literary endeavor the ‘‘Sleepy Hollow Gazette.’’ Not that alone, however, bespeaks the department. Remember the anxious moments waiting for your crit; the detailed Leon Moed, B.Ar. explanation of why your solution seemed most logical (at the time) and the uproar this inevitably caused among your classmates; the projects which entailed packing your bags; leaving home and moving in on some unsuspecting mother; net results: one disrupted household for a few days; History of Art, slides and field trips; T-squares, slide rules and a mountain of books; orientation—and patiently defining it to the gauche girls in Speech class; Beer parties (Women invited!)

Field trips took us a-visiting museums, galleries, newspapers—even parks, commuhities, and other schools. There were Friday nights, and more Friday nights, devoted to lesson plans and Saturday morn, ah yes, Saturday morn, the children, who waited eagerly for those gems of wisdom from the front of the class; gems which somehow never seemed to materialize. Then, of course, home again to revise L.P.’s according to the crits of the supervisors. Every hour along the way it seemed as if there was another assignment given or due, and actually there was! Practice teaching gave us anxious moments before and during the “‘getting to know you.”’ We had our gayer moments too, of course . . . conventions in New York and Atlantic Cities; a spring sojourn to D.B.’s estate; Hallowe’en and Christmas parties in Speech and Economics. Above all this, we’ll remember the class itself—its attitudes and earnest endeavors to live up to Geoffrey Chaucer’s description of the teacher ... ““And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.”’ Kenneth Koppel, B.F.A. , —_ xX Jean Mable, B.F.A.

ILLUSTRATION Julia Bottum Donald Erikson Edward Esposito Barbara Fuller Marianne Gaeckle The Fourth Floor is the heart of the Art School. and the habitat of the Illustrator. Land where the intangible imagination is embodied on canvas and everyone is entitled (and encouraged) to his own opinion. Monday to Friday, 9 to 4, the mood is set by Ravel’s “Bolero.”” Monday to Friday, same time, same station, there is an interesting array of nudes and livestock modeling for their living and ours, eventually; a queue of students lined up at the two sinks entertaining hopes of washing selves, brushes and palettes without benefit of soap— a hope seldom realized. The print shop equipped for lithos, woodeuts and the spring magazine of student work; student exhibits plus the ‘‘constructive”’ crits of “friends” the empty classroom—not the norm, just a sure sign of a problem due tomorrow in Fourth term; after hours, the Illustrator’s Guild meeting; the annual costume dance, t Joan Gaillardet, B.F.A. with zany costumes that materialize out of nowhere and nothing; exhibits and lectures by successful illustrators just to prove there are some; And after commencement, the application of all these things which we have learned to our lives and to our illustrations.

What else but Judgment Day, here again ——but soon to be no more. But more than this frantic rush to beat the day of recollection, Industrial Design is a point of view. It is a desire to be a warm and vital influence to society, and as an individual, to provide a more beautiful world in which to live. The creative response within the imagination and the means to carry out this response ——the verve of the conte sketch, experiments in pure form, the hiss of the airbrush, the hum of machinery. The artist is directing the machine age, the Industrial Designer is coming into his own. Teaching this way of life is the unified team directing the department in its growth. In these few years, under their tutelage, we have under- gone a metamorphosis that has instilled in us ambitions and has given us the wherewithal to make them realities. The realization of our motives lies in applying ourselves, and the spirit of the department will be reflected in the success of the graduating class. Paul Deesen, B.F.A.

INTERIOR DESIGN The Interior Design Department is dedicated to the creation of complete interiors and their furnishings, in conjunction with architecture. We have been known to undertake the esthetic and functional melioration of existing interiors as well. Unique to our department is the use of rolls of tracing paper. These can provoke much confusion as may be evidenced when several students, sketching at the same time, unravel the paper as they proceed and succeed in completely obscuring the tables, chairs and floors of the class. Extensive field trips have been undertaken by our class to furniture and accessory showrooms, museums, building sites, ad infinitum. We’ve always been furnished with excellent means of transportation——buses, automobiles, subways, and to get to practically inaccessible places consolation. We’ve been known to have parties from our classrooms to Hiawatha, New Jersey and back for numerous and exceedingly insignificant reasons. The class as a whole is habitually cooperative for it certainly is no anomaly for homework to be discussed, studied, executed and sometimes ignored by the class as a whole. Eugene Bence, B.F.A.

Within our class, the two dimensional surface designs for fabrics that go into the clothes we wear, and the homes in which we live, are initiated and executed. Potential women’s dresses, slipcovers, menswear, plastics, Tagora Dubnick and this year even Santa’s gift wraps, came from our Renton Aare Wie aMitg drawing boards and or silk screen shop. This is a land a-blossom with real and abstract flowers, for flowers, it seems, sell, and sell we must. It is a challenge to create something new, and an accomplishment to achieve your goal when the limitations of fabric—its role and manufacturing processes, are so strict. The entire department is set up like a commercial studio to acquaint us with actual methods employed in the field. Armed with our portfolios and tubes of silk-secreened squares, we strike out after graduation to conquer the textile world, hoping all the while that a little bit of us will be manifested in the lovely materials which surround you in your everyday circumstances.

Valuable lessons learned in the foods class—— One does not get the same effect in a lemon pie when it is baked under the broiler, and even though fingers were invented before thermometers they make perishable testing devices for hot foods.

Mildred Paulus, B.S. How do we display it to our (and its) best advantage? Everything has its tell and sell points, so use them. This is what makes it such a scintillating field.” We’re in this business to keep the merchandise moving. Where does the new merchandise come from? The designers. And who creates the fashion items? It follows suit. The realm of fashion is one of emphasis on two inch shorter hems this season, the radical changes in silhouette, will brown or blue be color impetus next season? or will this model be a Ford? All this and subjective chic are the order of the day and the days to come. Isabelle Payne, B.S. Margaret Pletchny, B.S. Margit Schneider, B.S.

We take our bow—the first class to graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Fashion Design. Together with our older sister, the Costume Design program, we look back on the years crammed with the technical and academic—training for career and a way of life simultaneously. Memories come to mind of modeling millinery at Spring shows and grateful sighs that no one could see behind the cafe curtains; dreams of owning muslin mills and the untold wealth involved; grain, grain, grain—pulling it, watching it, and experimenting with it; egg-heads with pyramidal noses; cadaver-like dress forms standing patiently while drapes, tucks or over-all effects were pondered; gussets and sleeves-in-one; functional design: its possibilities and the months it took to catch on to it; needles, pins and inevitable light threads on dark clothes—sure signs of the seamstress at work; the well-rounded program which gave us McCardell and Machiavelli, Fath and Fascism Sewing and Psych.

Senior Award Who's Who John Loeffler, B.S. Senior Award , Car] Winfield, B.S. Senior Award Who’s Who Built upon the strong foundations which we received during our first three years at the Institute were the massive senior projects of the seven graduating members of the class. Such world-shaking, evolutionary experiments as that of the student who concerned himself with the installation of forced feel crystalizing evaporators, distillation units with necessary auxiliaries and the relocation of existing equipment, were undertaken. The six remaining Chemical Engineers distinguished themselves by determining design formulae for the ‘‘distillation”’ of ions; the possibility of the use of ion exchange membranes in electrolytic reduction of naphthalene without evolving the iodine from the tetra-n-butyl ammoniumiodide at the anode; the electrolytic reductions of naphthalenes and penanthrene derivatives to determine the nature of reactions and the products of reduction. Some casual interest was also invested in such trivia as the A.I.Ch.E.; the annual Field Trip; and beer parties—Faculty and Females cordially invited to attend. With these tools, we forge ahead to make of ourselves the rising new generation in Chemical Engineering—the graduates, 1954. Seymour Pollack, B.S. Louis Scotti, B.S. George Wolter, B.S. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING A short history of the Electrical Engineers, as yet unfinished. Chapter One: the Fundamentals. Long hours of physics, chemistry, mathematics. Mechanical and engineering courses. Repetition of the basic and introduction of slightly more complex forms. Chapter Two—two years later. Fledgling E.E.’s. The arrival of ‘‘This is a very interesting fact’’ coursés in Electronics and A.C. transients. Early lunches =x or nearly. Colored chalk diagrams covering the board in profusion (or was it confusion). Theories of A.C. transformers and A.C. machines. The three C’s. Invaluable information department: chalk belongs on the blackboard, not on the lab equipment. Cramming. The three C’s—now firmly established. Balancing the ledger: field trips, beer parties, A.I.E.E., inspection trips, and the annual dinner. Chapter Three: | The Future. As yet, undetermined. We would venture that the sum total of technical training plus academic achievement logically equals success. Pratt has given us the tools. Now we, as individuals, will erect the appropriate structures with them. On to the new chapter. James Alles, B.S. Senior Award, Who’s Who Ramon Baltera, B.S. Frank Booth, B.S. William Cougan, B.S.

Hostetter Selina Silleck We are becoming more aware of the fact that a technical skill alone does not insure a man’s success, as at one time it did. The mores of our day demand that a man be a well-rounded individual and have a comparable education. To this end, the Division of General Studies brings to us, Artists, Engineers and Home Economists, students-in-training for technical positions, the necessary general academic background for any field of endeavor. Over and above the Division’s long-range aims, it has performed a valuable service in the present. It has been the means of breaking down the invisible yet existent barriers that once stood between schools. It is not an anomaly for students from as many as six different groups to gather together in the lounge, for example, to discuss the pros and cons of Fascism; the merits of the Iliad; or the pertinence of a subject for Speech. The increasing demands upon the Division have warranted additional faculty, and promise still further increase in the future. The faculty’s far reaching influence on us will be manifested in the citizens we become upon commencement. STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES Margaret B. Stephenson Doris Shipley “Vouchsafe him to me As a guide and a guard” WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE The hub of the multi-spoked wheel which is the Institute is the department of Student Personnel Services. All roads run to or away from it. Have you a problem lacking answer? Need money, mail, maintenance or mimeograph? Take it here and the job is as good as done. There is a spirit that pervades the department, one of work and accomplishment. The non-cessant click, clicketty, clack of typewriters and the jangling phones keep it in a state of constant anticipation. Yet, probably most characteristic are the people. They always have time for a pleasant smile, a warm greeting and your personal problem. Hyman Schmeirer Hazel M. Jones She doeth little kindnesses Which most leave undone or despise Great souls are portions of eternity Thou are not idle; In thy higher sphere Thy spirit lends itself to loving tasks And strength to perfect what it dreamed of here Ts all the crown and glory that it asks James Russell Lowell rr rr es ee Eee eee John Foley Lee Cobb Dick Czina Frances Power Bea Borg Ken Schwenk Sandra Longyear Don Tripp Jim Alles, President Helen Onufer Jean Volgenau, Vice President Leon Pickus Barbara Mc Keon, Secretary-Treasurer Frank Mullins Ellen Black Bob McDougall Don Howe Farold Avallone Jane Price Ann Damhaug Bob Aniello Betty Dolman Tony Macchia SENIOR CLASS Michael Chipolone, President Jeanette Sanderson, Vice President Maryellen Visconti, Secretary-Treasurer JUNIOR CLASS John Nayduch, President Marilyn Sjogren, Vice President Pat Kirkeby, Secretary-Treasurer SOPHOMORE CLASS Henry Felton, President Art King, Vice President Joan Lipton, Secretary-Treasurer CLASS COUNCILS The complex machinery of any large organization necessitates an executive staff to handle its many affairs. The Student Executive Board is the realization of this need in the Student Government at Pratt Institute. Faculty-to-student, and student-to-student relationships are handled by this representative group. It is their function to supervise Student Publications; Financial and Social Activities; Inter-Club associations; plans for the new College Union; Recrea- tional Facilities and Communications. The members of the Board are the duly elected officers, the Chairmen of both the standing committees and N. S. A., and representatives of the Class Councils. The Councils are smaller, more personal extensions of the government which keep individual sections and students well informed and interested in their work. They too are responsible for all separate class activities such as dances or special projects. Every chartered group which contributes to student welfare, activity and or wishes is thus given the oppor- tunity to wield Pratt’s student government. FRESHMAN CLASS Bob Jones, President Dorothy Muldoon, Vice President Roberta Davis, Secretary-Treasurer VARSITY SPORTS BASKETBALL S 3B William Bodouva Orville Harrold Terrence O’Grady James Uehling Konrad Von Appen Jerry Soper Robert Tucker Curtis Lowey BASEBALL Sports-minded men at Pratt are given ample opportunity, and encouragement, to take part in Intra-mural and Varsity competitive games. The Intra-mural program includes football, basket- ball, softball, handball, fencing, swimming and wrestling. Such enthusiasm went into the program this year that several participants still bear battle scars. The Varsity program, basketball, soccer, baseball and tennis, matched P.I. against comparable teams in the Metropolitan area. It proved to be our finest year in many. We had a strong offensive team in Basketball which won us conference acclaim. Throughout the season, in whatever game, we always bore in mind Grantland Rice’s famous “, . not that we won or lost, but how we played the game.” Frank Pisani Kenneth Braren Frank Bongiorno Michael Savoia Herbert Tessler Henry Loheac Joseph Krois Louis Schindler Gerald Rosen Kenneth Braren John Deans Roy Johansen Leo Mahony @ Stanley Sludikoff William Hofmann Roger Kane George Serena John Meyer Peter Todaro Richard Flack Poe Dimitry Lugansky WOMEN’S SPORTS The highly diverse sports program offered to women students is divided into indoor and outdoor classifications. During the first quarter, in early fall, volley-ball, hockey and swimming are em- phasized. Basketball, gymnastics and the dance—modern, folk or social, take over in the second quarter. The third group includes advanced indoor work and speciali- zation in fencing, life-saving or dance. The spring quarter, outdoors, for apropos subjects, tennis or riding. Throughout the year, we participate in an active | intramural program in all competitive areas. The program is very well planned so that a student is able, during her two required years of Physical Education, to try her hand at as many as eight, or as few as four fields of sports endeavor. STUDENT PUBLICATIONS “Who casts to write a living line must sweat.” BEN JONSON The appropriateness of this quotation can be verified by the PRATT LER staff. Often they start off with full-staff and end up with Fal- staff. Then it behooves that faithful few to | sweat out the paper and meet deadlines. Often ) this entails mad Friday night sessions with the click, click, clackety, zing of all typewriters well into the wee small hours of the morning. The staff’s idea of Shangri-la is a land where writers are so abundant that every fire, feast and famine is expertly reported and deadlines are met---yea, even preceded. ASTERISK, the literary magazine, is the personification of another age-old idea that the arts are closely related. They too suffer from staff problems. Inevitably, the mag gets out and is literally devoured by the student body. And to the faithful few who comprise these staffs we have but one thing to give—thanks. SOCIAL LIFE “On with the dance, let joy be unconfined” said Byron, and the student body of Pratt assented and attended. Two big drawing cards during the academic year were Winter Festival and April Showers. Individual departments had their gala evenings, too. Many organizations held informal affairs on campus. Each class gave a special function which was open for all other classes to attend. Each activity was the necessary balance between work and play which kept Jack or Jill Pratt from becoming the fabled “dull.” The climax of Winter Festival is the Sno-Queen coronation. Annually, representatives from each section vie for the title. Five candidates are chosen by a panel of judges and student votes decide the Queen. Semi- finalists become the court. The evening of the Festival the candidates, wearing regal gowns, take their places on stage for the long awaited moment. ‘This year, the new president of the Institute ended all the speculation— he crowned the winner and made her the ruler of the festivities. a a To a est Se ey SE Religious Clubs ea set Ss a, Glee Club Industrial Design Forum ill Electrical Engineers Chemical Engineers Mechanical Engineers Home Economics Club Tau Beta Pi INTER CLUB COUNCIL Pershing Rifles Playshop American Institute of Architects Illustrators Guild Advertising Designers bill falcone An assembly of assemblies char- acterizes Inter-Club Council. Representatives from each charter organization in the school here decide on common procedure rules; plan joint activities; and pool resources for motley projects. It organized 1953’s Club Fair with notable success, up to but excluding the weather, over which it seemed to exercise no control. The diverse groups under its auspices handle the social needs in departmental and provessional areas; the enter- tainment groups such as Playshop and Glee Club; the religious groups and the organizations which deal with special interests, such as the Outing Club, the Social Club, and the Globe Club—devoted to the study and appreciation of foreign peoples. The overall function of the I.C.C. is to preside over, while simultaneously acting as a go-between for, these many interests. + I.C.C. Members Top row—Dr. J.

At Christmas, we presented ‘Frankie and Albert,’’ and in the spring, “The Man Who Came to Dinner,” coupled with pleas to the Industrial Designers for a winding staircase, “‘in aluminum, maybe?” Sounds heard backstage included feminine, “I could cry’ and, almost in response, a masculine, ‘I may get sick.’’ All in all, the ’53-’54 season was a profitable one—profitable in enjoyment for our audiences and profitable for us, for there is no payment that exceeds the heady wine of hearty applause. steve frankfurt C7 = =a og HO] - | This year, an innovation long to be remembered by the Glee Club, and its appreciative audiences, if rave notices and applause are any criteria. For we, and we alone assumed the gigantic role of enter- tainment prior to Winter Festival. The entire semester preceding the gala event, we mi-mi’d, and la-la’d in nervous anticipation. Then, all too soon, the big moment—stage set, curtain up. The music began, as clear as the winter night. The audience participation was enthusiastic, and the quartette had same eating out of their collective hands. The performance was one to be remembered, as said the immortal Shelley, ““Musie when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory.” Adabody, A., 40 Park Pl., New Rochelle, N. Y.
