Monday evenings found this fun- loving group of songsters (““No mu- sic without fun” is their motto) enthusiastically rehearsing their latest tunes led by conductor and sponsor, David Simpson. Purdue Music Organization brought their harmony in song to the students and the community at University sponsored activities. It was well worth missing lunch in order to hear the black and gold clad musicians in performance at their Christmas Convocation. Their talents and enjoyment were not strictly limited to learning and sing- ing good music, for they also took part in other school functions such as Honors Day and their display in the Homecoming Parade which won first place. The officers lending a helping hand to Mr. Simpson are president, Dennis Yellima; vice-president, Christine Brown; and treasurer, Karen Felker. Practice and determination as well as ability allowed P.M.O. to continue their ever-improving per- formances. Sometimes with piano accompaniment, often without, their melodious voices could bring laugh- ter of tears as the song and occa- sion demanded.

NATIONAL SOCIETY OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS FOUNDED 1934 John Waupsh, president, leads §.C.O.P.E. meeting. Interest runs high during well-attended meetings at which projects and activities are planned by a group of hard-working individuals. The Student Chapter of Profes- sional Engineers (SCOPE) is de- signed to inform the student of the engineer’s role in industry, econom- ics, and government. SCOPE tries to widen the student’s ‘‘scope” of the engineer’s job so he can more easily decide which field of engi- neering he wants to enter, or wheth- er he really wants engineering as a career. This year SCOPE gained much in the areas of membership and prestige, thereby becoming one of the most respected organizations at Purdue’s Calumet Campus. Because of the club’s close contact with in- dustry, SCOPE was able to arrange guided tours of Standard Oil, In- land Steel, Ford Motor Company, Argonne National Laboratories, and the I.B.M. Technical Center, all at no cost to members or in- terested faculty. During the pro- gram meetings, promising and prominent engineers share their ex- periences and explain exactly what we are to expect upon entering the profession, During the year, SCOPE members attend banquets where they “rub elbows” with their future counterparts, and through both se- mesters SCOPE provides PUCC with social events such as dances, hayrides, and sporting tournaments, among others.
