Through photographs, drawings and words, TECHMILA portrays student life at RIT to give the graduate a colorful memory of the revelry and happy times he experienced, along with his hours of work in classrooms and organizations. President's Message May I offer my sincere congratulations upon the completion of your formal educational work at the Institute? The history of the Institute demonstrates the emphasis it has placed upon the personal development of the individual as well as his growth in practical competence and technical knowledge. These are important objec- tives. Finding new and better ways to achieve these aims should always be of first importance to you. In addition, however, you must concern yourself with community relationships and those inter-personal contacts that have become increasingly important. International relations also have a bearing upon the life of every individual. Because of these dynamic forces in today's complex society, you must keep the channels of learning forever open, in order that you may meet with intelligence your full responsibility of citizenship in an ever-changing world. The worthiness of the Institute's program will in the future, as in the past, be judged by your competence and by your participation in worthwhile activities. I know that we can count upon you for fine performance in all of these areas. My best wishes go with you as you enter new fields of endeavor.

Johns Student Personnel Ada B. Vernon What would R.I.T. be like if these people did not exist? Well, first of all, no prospective student would ever receive the Institute catalog, application blank, or any other information that he might desire. But, of course, he would probably not write for these, because if the public relations staff did not exist, the prospective student probably would not have heard of R.I.T. in the first place. If the student-to-be should overcome these first dif- ficulties, he would still not find anyone here to register him. Perhaps he could register himself. Now. he asks, where do I live? There is no one to tell him; in fact, there is no one here to oversee any buildings for living or for studying. Well, maybe that's o.k.„ because he wasn’t sure that he was fitted for the particular course and field that he had been thinking about, and there The routine practice of typing up records is diligently carried out Checking a Veteran's record—only one of the many jobs of the in the main office Registrar’s office Eleven Lena Karker Laurence Lipsett Nurse Educational Research Howard A.

If the student could get along at R.LT. without all of the people mentioned so far, he might have a very inexpensive education, because there would be no one to assess and collect tuition. But, on the other hand, there would be no one to run the Institute’s financial affairs properly and to take care of the endowments that provide much of the student’s expenses, so perhaps his tuition would be twice as high—that is, of course, if there were someone to pay it to. In any event, tuition is disposed of. What is next? What does the student need to carry on his work? There would be no bookstore or purchasing depart- ment to get and distribute his supplies. Well, he can go to the library for his books, and—but there would be no library! That means no reading or writing assign- ments. That won’t make this R.LT. student sick—but it is good that it doesn't make him sick, because there would be no Medical department, no place to get his sick excuses. In short, without these people there would be no R.I.T.. for they are carrying on some of the forgotten, but necessary, functions that make the difference be- tween a smoothly operating educational plant and a heap of nothingness. They are the year-round support of much of the activity that is taken for granted. Each summer they conclude the business of the previous school year and begin work on the next. On Saturdays, when students and most of the rest of the faculty and staff have lied to the restful hills, some of these people stay around to prepare the Institute for another week of Education. Without the everyday, every week, every month and year services of the faculty and staff groups, the Insti- tute would indeed be a phantom ruin, not the bustling, warm, and efficient school that it is. Our two energetic Librarians restock the shelves with new and returned books T welve American Craftsmen Ernest Brace Lawrence Copeland Harold J, Brennan Geroldikb R. Uscholo For eight solid hours a day, behind the walls of 150 Spring Street, a group known as “craftsmen” produce many fine articles of new and improved designs. There are four departments in S.A.C. The first being the Woodshop where the saws whirl and the lathes turn. This shop contains many different machines val- uable in the woodworking industry from hand to power tools. Many modernistic pieces of furniture come from this shop; articles ranging from chairs, bowrIs, and lamp tables to boxes. Then comes the “Pot Shop” where muddy hands turn out pieces of pottery which are new and elegant in their design. The Weaving Shop follows, where many new? kinds of textiles are created and woven every week, and where the student becomes acquainted with the mate- rials used in rug and carpet making. Next is the Metal Shop where many metals ranging from copper to silver are bent and hammered into new shapes. The first semester of the Metal course is given to making jewelry. The student makes many variations in design by hand. Pins, necklaces, buttons, and bracelets are samples of the pieces made. In the Art Department, wrhich is usually known as the starter or planning room, the student lays down on paper his ideas for new projects. It is in this room that a new design is brought to life, put on paper, and changed several times before this design proceeds to the shop in which it will be made. During the three years that the Crafts School has been at R.I.T., it has participated in two large art Hobart Cowles Tage Frid Fred Meyer Ann Marie John Prip Von Strockensirom FraNS Wildenhain Fourteen Art old art takes on a new twist in a rug weaving class A student undertakes the tedious process of inking in a fabric design exhibitions. The first was at the Harvard School of Architecture in April, 1952, and the second was at Rochester's own Memorial Art Gallery in December and January of this school year. At these shows were exhibited the best pieces of work done by both the faculty and the students. Many people attended both shows and were very much pleased with the results. As a student enters the school, he automatically becomes a journeyman This gives him the right to send articles which he makes to the American House, which is located in New York City. These pieces are put in the showroom for sale. If the pieces arc sold, the American House sends a check to the Crafts School, where the amount is divided up for the various costs, such as material and labor. In this way, the stu- dent can find out if his product will sell while it gives him a little money to help in meeting school expenses. The last summer that the journeymen are at school, their time is devoted to designing and producing a “Journeyman’s Piece,” upon which their final grade is based. Designing and producing specific items take up most of the second year, preparing the student for his future career. It is in his creative hands that we place the designs for the future.

Thafs an art student! But if his physi- cal pack is heavy, his intellectual and emotional pack is heavier yet. While quietly drowning in the whirlpool of a new school, new friends, and new attitudes, the freshman art student is further bewildered by the overwhelming assortment of ideas and principles in his chosen field. He still retains a half-hearted awe for Walt Disney, yet is tempted by the iconoclastic pronouncements of Dali, Mondrian, and company. His vocabulary is del- uged by the many ism's of the art world. Surrealism, Cubism, Realism arc all familiar words which suddenly take on life. He begins to know how to make things happen with charred wood and paper, and his blue- ringed eyes are miraculously open, drinking in the beauty behind which lie accurately stated principles of design. He begins to observe with new interest the Elizabeth Mesmer Jacqueline O'Connell Harold Richardson Fred Wells Seventeen A wooden mode! takes f orm on a student’s hoard Students working with a live model people around him, trying to discover what it is that makes them what they are. The student of art starts to add a new dimension to his world understanding. This addition takes a life-time. The eyes of the student artist turn to other subjects as well. On the season's coldest day one may see him coldly engrossed in the fluid design of icicles. And no matter where he is, there goes his sketch book, the penciled memory for what his eyes see, A full sketch book brings with it a ruddy complexion (from expo- sure to the elements); smudges, and soft graphite (from exposure to a soft pencil). The artist bears other marks also: an oily green substance called plas- ticine dirties his fingernails, and his clothing takes on a spectacular rainbow of pigment stains. But, the most salient characteristic which endears him to his fellow students is his manner of dress—his once khaki fa- tigues, a remnant of a sweat shirt, and gaudy socks. But an art student must work for the knowing of how to say things in a picture. One comes to be chal- lenged by a failure, a dead-end in the search for the words, the skill to say what he wants. This is the way he pioneers into the field of art, which is as old as man himself. The simple, the conventional, and the abstract are all represented in this design class What once was only soft clay now begins to take the shape of a rase Eighteen A student prepares the Fractional Still for operation Obtaining accurate weights of chemical compounds ued to induct students in the vast field of chemistry and to educate them for some of its jobs. The result has been an ever increasing number of specialists and technicians who hold a great variety of positions such as laboratory assistants, analytical chemists, technical salesmen, research chemists and many more responsi- ble jobs including those of supervisors and managers. The newest addition to the department is the Medi- cal Technology section, a full-time, two-year course to meet the demand for trained technicians, that has ac- companied the establishing of more and more hospi- tals, clinics. Public and Private health services. The chemistry student takes pride in his ability to keep abreast of recent developments in his field. He takes courses dealing with new optical and electrical instruments in chemical analysis and he is constantly introduced to the latest improvements and techniques as presented by the various journals of the American Chemical Society. Beakers, flasks, solution—all are necessary for a successful experiment Between his many sessions of tube tinkering and head scratching for a conceivable solution to a problem in calculus, the chemistry student can be found in the Eastman Lounge discussing almost anything from the days of Adam and Eve to the latest “Dennis the Men- ace'' cartoon. But it's also in these get togethers (where organic or inorganic makes no difference) that the student chem- ist continues to chase elements, combinations, and solutions. The freshman chemistry curriculum includes mathe- matics, physics, general chemistry and qualitative an- alysis, as well as psychology and English communica- tions. The junior and senior chemists plunge on into more advanced chemical problems, both in their R.I.T. classes and labs and in their co-operative jobs with companies that are tackling those problems for profit and loss. The candy and cokes, the work blocks and lab periods, spilled chemicals and stained clothes—all these will pass, but the unknowns in quantitative and quali- tatives, the lab techniques and the job know-how will all remain. T wenty-one Chemistry Ralph T. Van Peursen Patricia Lloyd Herbert Ulrich James Wilson, Jr. Raymond Biehler Edwin Henrick Homer 1mes “What! A Turkish Bath! In the Chemistry lab? But—! What? Oh, so it's not a Turkish Bath after all! But what about all that steam? Where's it coming from?” These might be the surprised remarks of a stranger passing through the Chemistry Department while a fractional still is in the process of being drained; and he might get another surprise if he could hear the con- versation that passes between a couple of students in a Chemical Analysis Class, It goes something like this —“Hey! Look at this; isn’t it pretty? I wonder urhat it is. What does yours look like?” Statements like these depict the humorous side of the chemistry student at work. But, underneath all this is the real chemist; not just the boy or girl in the white lab coat who is constantly peering into a test tube. No, the real chemist is the man or woman who is forever searching for the unknown. He is the ever-working never tiring individual who is blazing the newf paths through a world full of unsolved mysteries, unwritten formulas, and equations. From the labs and classrooms of the Chemistry Department at R.I.T. come these in- dividuals wrho will solve some of these mysteries and write some of these formulas. Since it was first introduced as a full-time course at R.I.T. in 1918, the Chemistry Department has contin- A student carefully checks the reading of a buret during an experiment T wenty Commerce Howard B, Stauffer Elizabeth H, Klett Dorothy L, Brooks Rose K. Fewster Alice E. Hazelton George E. Engert M, Louise Galligan Joseph Stauffer The Commerce Department is the newest addition to the Institute. We came here as the old McKechnie- Lunger School of Commerce in March, 1952. Eager but very nervous, we walked in the front entrance our first morning at R.I.T. Many of us had never seen the school before. After looking forward to this day for quite a while, we were struck by the modern front offices and business-like library. There was to be a special assembly for the new Commerce students in E-125, which we found without too much trouble. Fellow R.I.T. students made us feel at home, and Dr. Ellingson made a welcoming speech to us, which summed up meant, ”Be friendly—you’ll be well rewarded.” Students passed out handbooks to us and explained the different dubs and activities that The secretaries of tomorrow preparing to take a dictation in shorthand Practicing typing to obtain (he necessary speed and accuracy of a good typist T wenty-three Students studying the details of various filing systems The complicated keyboard of the comptometer is made simple by one who knows the Institute offered. A map of the layout of the build- ings was used to explain where our classes would be held. It was all so entirely different that we were sure that we would never find those classrooms. A tour of the school to view its different departments surprised us further with the complexity of the Institute, But some- how, by memory, by asking, and by just plain explor- ing, we did find our classrooms. Furthermore, we im- mediately liked the atmosphere and somehow knew we would be happy here. Then they had another surprise for us! Rooms in what had been the machine labs in the Eastman Annex Building had been transformed for us. Mechanical department graduates of a few years ago wouldn't recognize their oil and steel-tilled rooms, with their new green, yellow, and pink walls and ceilings. We went home at the end of our first day at R.l.T. ex- hausted and happy with the feeling of being at home at school. In those early weeks, as we settled down to work, we discovered more about school each day: that the gar- bage truck comes every morning about 8:30. the sun shines in the windows facing the boys’ dorm, the scen- ery is very nice, and that we are living in a fish bowl. It seemed that every time we looked out the window we found a group of boys, sometimes laughing, staring in the window at us. We'll never forget those first few ex- citing and happy days, because they've led to so many more. Then we were swept into the R.I.T.-tide of social events: Spring Weekend, with its big carnival and Tony Pastor’s band; sorority and fraternity dances; meetings of choir, play and athletic clubs, and social and religious clubs; and the thousand other activities that come and go. We joined several of the organiza- tions and proceeded to make ourselves useful, and in return through this medium we all made more and more friends. Of course wre all have memories, too, of working from eight in the morning until five at night and then going home to finish some more work, of sometimes not understanding accounting, of the rush of work in our secretarial course, of learning to divide and multi- ply on the comptometers, and of many other activities that would fit us for the serious business of Business. But we wouldn't trade any of these activities—work or play! Only the steady click-click of the keys breaks the silence of an early morning typing class T wenty-four Electrical Earl M. Moreoock Irene Pawlish If old Ben Franklin could only take a gander at the Electrical department at R.I.T. and see all that has come about since that stormy night many years ago when he first found electricity flying higher even than his kite, he would be a mighty astonished man. But he would be interested in pulling a switch here and twirl- ing a dial there, when confronted with the impressive panel and switchboards of today. Generator, oscillator, lag and lead, resistance and inductance—all of these have definite meanings for the typical electrical student of today. For it is with these words that he is filling the gaps in a vocabulary that he will probably use for the rest of his life. He will need these meanings at the drafting board and out with his telephone line crewr, in his reports to the power station service chief and maybe to buy a switch for his home Wherever he is on his job, he will use terms for parts, concepts, and functionings which he is learning now. To those with a hankering for electrical things, R.LT, offers the first and perhaps the biggest step towards a future in a field that is crowded with count- less new wonders and old, old mysteries fast being solved. From the Institute’s drawing boards and labs many young men step directly into good jobs in many fields of manufacture and service in electricity, elec- tronics, and power. At the present time many R.l.T. electrical grads are serving in posts vital to the ad- vancement and defense of our country. For the Electrical student the slide-rule and the vacuum-tube voltmeter are friendly standbys, along with the ever-available instructors’ help and advice. Often it is the impish square-root of three, used in three phase systems, that plagues him throughout his school career and causes his answers to be off, when he sometimes forgets to incorporate this all-impor- tant factor. When the newly arrived freshman takes his first look into the Electrical department he is usually amazed at the countless meters, regulators, and alter- nators that decorate the walls and shelves. And when he is confronted with the problem of why such and Bernard A. Logan Austin E. Frounce Farl C. Karkf.r Kenneth W. Kjmpton Franklin A. Puff Clarence E. Tlites T wenty-six Repairing a loose connection in a mass of wires Close and careful observation is a necessity when experimenting with an iron coil such a part is making the right contact or why a par- ticular circuit is being broken, he may at first be ready to sit down and quit. But for the junior and senior student, these are common, everyday electrical occur- ences. He can feel under foot another rung of the long ladder to success when he can look back upon those long months as a freshman—and smile. The senior has gotten his electrical savvy not only from his daily participation in R.l.T. lab operations, but also from his cooperative work block experiences with some of the most productive and advanced prac- titioners of electrical-electronic magic. He has seen photoelectric cells and transistors at work where they are affecting the everyday lives of Rochcsterians and Americans in general. Ben Franklin would have liked that work block, on-the-job kind of education, for in it he would have recognized the old apprentice tradition, with sound formal education added to it to produce a broad but practical electrical education. So, Ben Franklin would probably look agape at the applications and tools of electricity that have been de- veloped since he caught lightning on his kite, but he would like the way the R.l.T. juicebugs are learning to handle that mysterious but useful power for the bet- terment of mankind. Students constructing a circuit for power measurements of light bulbs A radio rec eiver undergoes a routine grid circuit check Twenty-seven Food Administration Carol M. Kk horn Urn—The noses of all the students who happen to be passing the sparkling, convenient new Henry Lomb kitchen on the first floor of the Eastman Building on their way to various classes noticeably rise to sniff appreciatively. Is it gingerbread or pumpkin pie? What is that nut-brown divine aroma anyway? As they continue on their way, students glance enviously at that door. But today we shall follow those tanta- lizing smells. First we pass into the bright modern kitchen, where groups of busy freshman Foods students are gathered like bees around the long work tables with their for- mica tops and chrome trim. The honey that attracts them is the gingerbread ingredients. Those ingredients gradually blend while flowing and plopping from one container into another, while being agitated by one utensil after another, but finally the oven mouths open wide and swallow the gingerbread, pans and all. This kitchen with its very modem equipment and adjoin- ing dining room is the pride and jov of the Food Ad- ministration department. Here is where the freshmen get their beginning lessons in the general principles of food cookery, and it is also here that the senior stu- dents prepare and serve their noted teas, luncheons, and dinners, as part of their work in catering. Shall we sample that gingerbread9 Captain Lomb would have enjoyed this taste treat! But we must be trudging along, for it is nearly eleven as we say good- bye. Then a new odor assails our nostrils. Being full of curiosity today, we find ourselves trailing this curious new smell down the stairs into the cafeteria kitchen. Here, as before, we find groups of Foods students busily at work, helping to prepare the noon meal that many students and faculty members will eat today. As we glance around we notice pieces of equipment which, to outsiders like ourselves, look monstrous and threatening, but are being used by students as noncha- lantly as if they were merely eggbeaters. But these gadgets and machines are an indispensable help, for they multiply the number and strength of the good right arms needed by fine cooks anywhere. Whether Bernice R.

Wilson T wenty-nine T we i ve o'clock in the cafeteria anti hungry pledge Today's salad in the process of being expertly prepared elementary or complicated and mysterious, these ma- chines must be mastered by those who will produce those miracles of mass food cookery. The choice of food, its preparation and its preserva- tion are not merely, however, matters for arms-—right or left, strong or weak, many or few. For the Food Ad- ministration graduate to succeed as a dietician or food institution manager, he or she must have wide exper- ience and a firm and intelligently applied knowledge of chemistry and nutrition, among other things. The student gains her experience in hospital or other large food institution kitchens. There she soon learns the problems she will later face as a supervisor. Further- more, she encounters these problems during the work blocks of her school career, so it is possible for her to find or work out the solutions she needs when she re- turns to R-I.T. classes between her weeks of on-the- job education. Her knowledge of chemistry and nu- trition she finds in the bubbling test tubes and the colored charts of her Jabs and classes. But should she fail to absorb everything that the program offers, the Foods student still has many oppor- tunities. As we leave the kitchen to take our place in the long lunch line of hungry students and faculty, we overhear a comment by one of the freshmen, bent over a sinkful of soiled pots and pans. Oh, well, if I don’t pass that Chem test this afternoon, 1 can always get a job as a dishwasher.” Behind the scenes in the cafeteria kitchen Time out for lunch in the cafeteria Thirty General Education D. Hugh Albee Murray A, Cayley Warren C, Davis Earl W, Fuller Ralph L. Gray Vernon R. Titus Psychology of Human Relations, English Communica- tions, Social Problems—these and many more arc the various subjects which go together to make up the General Education Department. Rut wait! Is this really a separate department? Is it a definite division of the Institute that can be classified in a particular category, just like the Chemistry, Re- tailing, Commerce, or any of the other departments? No, the General Education “Department” is a part of all the departments. Just walk into an Economics or a Social Problems class early some morning and you’re likely to find a group made up of Photo Tech, P P and Commerce students. The General Education Department is the backbone of the Institute. For it is here that the basic principles of learning are taught. And with these principles it is possible to acquire the knowledge that is necessary in some single field of education—be it Printing. Photog- raphy, Chemistry, or Electrical. The GE department has its offices in the Eastman Building. It is composed of eleven different courses of instruction, including anything from “Art Apprecia- tion” and “Effective Speaking” to “Physical Educa- tion” and “Social Problems.” Each of the ten departments of the Institute is re- Geraldine W. Atkinson Harold M. Kentner Marie S. Kin near Robert G. Koch Thomas J. O'Brien Robert D. Pease Thirty-two A class in the science of making a living—Economics Psychology of Human Relations—one of the many subjects taught by the General Education Department quired to offer at least five hours per week, per semes- ter. of non-Gccupational or liberal studies which lie mainly in the Social Science area. In order to be eli- gible for any of these courses, a student must be regis- tered in one of the other ten technical departments. Suppose we take a quick look into some of the General Education classes. First let us pay a visit to an eight o’clock Economics class. The very first thing we notice is the “intelligent” look on the faces of some of the energetic young printers and photographers. It is a look of brightness and alertness that greets you when you first open the door. But as the student’s eyes slowly begin to focus and he secs who it is. he once more leans back and returns to the “land of dreams,” where he isn’t disturbed until the nine o’clock bell rings, calling him to his next class in Effective Speak- ing. As always, he is required to give a three minute speech on a subject of his own choosing. When his time comes to speak, he is jolted out of his seat by a fellow' student and he aggressively walks to the front of the room. Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,'' he begins. Then after struggling through an “eternity” of two and one half minutes he feels that he has gone far over the allotted time, so he quickly ends his talk and takes his seat. This then is the Department of General Education, where a student “learns how to learn.” Practicing an oral report via the wire recorder Last minute studying in the Eastman Lounge Thirty-three Mechanical George H. LeCain Betty Weatherkog Robert Belknap Allan Bills Harold Brodie Frederick Buehler William Clark Cyril Donaldson Many of us started in this field the day we pulled the bolts out of our cradles. We moved on to greater things: picked the lock of the closet they closed us up in. unscrewed the base of the teacher's chair, and got Dad’s car started without the use of the ignition key. All of these are examples of our application of one quality that stands out in us—curiosity about mechani- cal things. But curiosity isn't enough. Along the way we ac- quired certain mechanical skills through our hobbies, in the family basement workshop, or in the school workshop. We often like to tinker with old automo- biles, outboard motors, and anything else that can be put back together about the way that it came apart except for our improvement. Preferably, of course, our labors should serve some practical purpose, such as getting there faster, whether in a hopped-up jalopy, motorboat, or motorcycle. Many of these hobbies we will continue for the rest of our lives; some wc may drop, but all have had a part in taking us a step further toward the Mechanical department of R.I.T. Our work at the Institute has been neither hobby- Frank Geist Sherman Hagberg Russel Norton Thirty-five Proper method of inserting a th ill is demonstrated during a tool and die class A student compares micrometer readings with computed figures in the machine lab like nor general tinkering. We have pursued our me- chanical interests into fields of study to points far beyond our ordinary expectations. Mathematics and physics have led us to interesting new learning about mechanical operations. Modern machines in the de- partment’s machine laboratory have led us to develop techniques and skills and precision considerably be- yond the work we did on the basement lathe at home. We have been fascinated by the molecular structure of the metals we work with, and we understand better now their adaptability as well as their workability. When we went out for our cooperative job employ- ment interviews, we began to use pointers that we picked up in English communications and psychology classes; and when we got on the cooperative job later, we began to use just about everything that we had worked out in class, lab, and shop. Now we began to see on a large scale the conversion of blueprinted drawings into mass-produced items; we began to see the coordination of many different types of machines in a production shop; and we often saw more of those machines than we had ever anticipated. This was pro- duction! Here were all the activities and skills that we had been training for, ever since the bolt came out of the cradle so neatly. The cooperative job was both a lab for our R.I.T. courses and a foreshadowing of what we would be doing for the rest of our working lives. Being a Mechanical student at R.I.T. meant other things also, of course. There were educational activi- ties. like some of the Mechanical Students Association meetings and field trips, but there were social events where we mixed! with all our fellow students at R.I.T. But if a gadget broke down, we would be called upon, because we were Mechanical students. The drill—a necessary tool in any machine shop Trying to solve a problem in tool design Thirty-six Photographic Technology Carrol Neblette. Edith Stuhoe James Foster Frank Harris Ralph Hattersley Charles Savage Camera, lens, tripod, film holders, exposure meter, film, lights and props—the equipment is checked out and a Photo Tech, freshman or senior, is ready for another day. He may be setting out on a field trip to shoot landscapes and enjoy a day in the country, or he may be ready to take a studio portrait of some glamorous co-ed. Perhaps he’s carrying his load of equipment down the winding concrete stairs to take a commercial machinery shot in the Mechanical department. What- ever his assignment, for the R.I.T. photog another day of picture taking has begun. Tomorrow may find him listening intently to a lecture about latent images, or pouring solutions in chemistry lab, or possibly discussing some fried-egg- looking photographic abstraction. More lectures in photographic history, physics, optics, mathematics, and chemistry are followed by more developing, exposing, picking out props, mounting prints, retouching, and counseling about where to go from here. For the third year running, the freshman class have recorded on the spot the services rendered by the Community Chest through its dozens of agencies. The students took pictures of the activities of the Roch- ester hospitals. Y's, Old People’s Homes, Boy Scouts, P. H. Shawcross William Shoemaker Donald Smith Leslie Stroebel Hollis Todd Edwin Wilson Thirty-eight Orthopedic Center, and some thirty other Red Feather agencies. To recall only one assignment, the memory of a night spent out in the cold open air with the Boy Scouts, in order to shoot camping scenes, will remain for many years. The reward for these long hours spent in planning and shooting was seeing your pictures printed in the various leaflets and booklets published by the Community Chest. On other aspects of Rochester life the Photo Techs had a field day. They turned in a variety of good qual- ity pictures for the “Camera on Rochester” exhibit contest, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, and the R.l.T. leasers tramped off with a variety of good quality prizes—mostly in cash. In this active camera- on-Rochester year, several Photo Techs also threaded and fought their ways through the huge crowds that heard both General Eisenhower and Governor Steven- son present their cases for the Presidency. A few R.l.T. shutter-bugs even got close-ups on the railroad platform itself. One of the sad but spectacular subjects of the year was the early morning fire in one of the local restaur- ants in the immediate vicinity. For hours students braved the smoke and water to obtain close-ups of overcome firemen, dramatic night shots of Bob s eat- ery, and of the crowd that watched nearby. The result was many pairs of wet feet, scorched clothes, and smoked lenses; but also some graphic records of the spectacular blaze. Many warmer indoor interests were displayed in the pictures by the members in the Camera Club's Annual Fall Salon. The judges lost hair and added wrinkles trying to winnow out the three top photos; then a hundred unofficial judges went to work on the show in the Clark building corridor. The Photo Tech's energy seems limitless, as on he goes—a bundle of perpetual motion—to field trips, lectures, studio sessions, P.S.A. meetings, printing labs. Camera Club meetings, Techmila shooting, R.l.T. Re- porter assignments, and Community Chest camere- cording. Among all his activities he manages a meal, a date, a wink of sleep so that he will grow to become the seasoned photographer and photographic tech- nician of a not-so-distant tomorrow.

Craig As the years go by and these pages become yellow and brittle, we may take to looking back over time to our days spent at R.l.T. Here, some of us will meditate on the P P department on the second floor of the Clark Building. This is the place where our minds recall the rooms and the activity we shall always remember. Our thoughts alone bring the dull roar of presses to our ears, the hammer-like rhythm of the Monotypes, and the tinkling of mats from the Linotypes, Our noses can even trace the odors of type wash and printing inks, which often made us sick but wrhich were so familiar to us. As we look back, we can see ourselves standing over a press or with a type stick in our hand and the in- structor's voice using a familiar jargon: “Move the side guide one pica to the right! or “Put two points between each line!” The job of cleaning the web press is esssential before any actual production can begin The REPORTER goes through the last stage of gathering before distribution to the students Forty-one Raymond Carlson George Williams James Woolsey Donald Ritchie Carolyn Ekstrom Norman Thompson Fred Gutfrucht Francis Vendetti William Hunt Raymond Vosbliroh Alexander Lawson Netus White We can also see familiar faces along with the char- acteristics of a printing student about them: unshaven faces, ink on their hands and aprons. Then you start to think of the instructors, who were not just men who taught, but who were also your friends. You can remember their assignments and their classes, but also their good advice and friendship. These bring to mind the department head, Mr. Cul- ver. Despite his having most of the worries of the department, he would always have time to give the student some help. And his genial secretary. Mrs. Kelly, also is in your mind. You could hardly forget her as she always had a friendly and cheerful “Hello” except when you de- cided that there were matters more pressing than class. Then it was “Why aren't you in class?” For some, these were familiar words all year round. All year round—summers included. Those were the times when you wished you were out at the lake instead of in school; or when students collapsed from the heat and not from lack of sleep; or the times when Kate Gleason housed only a fewr girls, so everyone spent his time on school work. Easily recalling the fun and humor wc all enjoyed, we cannot forget the work and its purpose. There was always work to be done and the best equipment was always available. For Letterpress students, it was easy to find an unoccupied Platen press, from which he learned the principles of lockup and makeready. and which made the stepping stones to the Miehles, Kellys, and larger presses. These too were also at his disposal. Then, there was always some work to be done by Linotype or Monotype for the school paper, along with hand-composition. The Production Lab was always the place of ac- tivity. In this lab. which was set up similar to a small shop, there was always work to be done on some production job. If the machines were all occupied, it was not rare for the student to get a job to estimate or to work on the Production Board or schedules. The Offset student was also constantly kept busy. The Camera Lab, the Platemaking Lab, or the Offset Pressroom were always active with students working on their senior project or regular class work. It was here that they were introduced to Lithography and continually advanced into the chemistry involved in the process. For those who desired advanced training, the Web Lab provided additional training and ex- perience on a four-color Offset Press, which was in the basement of the Clark Building. Then, for added practice in planning and produc- ing “the printed piece we had the Reporter, Techmila, and The Typographer, which were excellent oppor- tunities for practical experience in the printing field. Now. we must close the door to the department and get back to the door where our training will be exer- cised and put to the greatest test of all. Forty-two Retailing Edwin a B. Hogadone Barbara Masseth Three decades! A milestone in the Retailing Depart- ment's progress has been reached by the second floor occupants of the Eastman Building. Some things are the same: the chronic cases of manual paste-up nerves and work block fatigue. But thirty years of retailing is scores of new “seasons,” hundreds of “sales,” and thousands of new products—from synthetic fabrics to modern antiques. If our predecessors of the past could observe our present-day version of the Retailing De- partment. they would not only be envious of our modern classrooms but speechless in lace of the ad- ditions to our curriculum and vocabulary as a result of the recent discoveries and developments in retail methods and merchandise. Constant changes in such a rapidly growing and progressive field as this one are inevitable. At the same time there are some basic things that remain the same, immediately identifying our class with those who have gone before us. Merchandising, Planning and Control, and other courses still cause many an aching head and almost-greyed hair. The manuals continue to be a race against remaining amounts of rubber cement, typing paper, black coffee, and “How many more hours until daylight, kids?” Callouses and varicose veins are among the occupa- tional hazards that immediately identify us after each invigorating work block. Speaking of work blocks, we are being influenced more than ever before by the compelling lure of the larger cities which offer unlimited opportunities to us. In pursuit of experience and opportunities, many of us pack our best suits and dark dresses, our best hats and most comfortable shoes to work for six weeks each time at some distant center of Retail activity, such as Washington, Newark, or Miami Beach. For us these work-block cities are not ordinary cities; each is a Retailing City. We notice the monu- ments and mansions, the avenues and the accents, of course; but our clearest, longest memories will be for other sights and significances. We remember the Margery Vosburgh Mary Cuteri Harry Drost Kenneth Fladmark Jean Stampe Raymond Von Deben Forty-four A student is briefed on unit control during a class in merchandising Criticizing a model window display change of seasons as reflected in window dressing, the local taste in jewelry or sports clothes or shoes. We remember merchandising experiments and sales ideas. Those cities are Retailing Cities for sure. At the end of the corridor tucked away in back of the stairwell is the office hung with prints and flowing with encouragement and advice that helps us on our way. Miss Hogadone, between her flying jaunts to far- away places, leaves her distinctive supervisory imprint. These are the memories of the three years of work on two campuses—the one at R.I.T. and the one in that Retailing City where our cooperative job requires that we apply great gobs of the retailing knowledge that we have acquired from this 30 year old teacher —the Retailing Department. Although development and achievement are accom- panied by many changes, the indispensable personality and characteristics of this department will remain long after the echo of our chatter has been garbled by the new chatter of 1983.

His story was about the mysterious happenings behind a locked door. The student’s story is almost the same except their “door opens and closes incessantly with people rushing in and out with mixed expressions of gloom and happiness. Only a glimpse of what hap- pens behind “the door” can be had, but the roar of activity thunders forth when this door is opened. Even the windows are covered and opaqued to stop the glances from those without. What mysterious activity is housed in the little room in the Eastman Lounge behind the “door?” The only clue is a sign, Techmila Office. Techmila! The name of a “story” well known among the students, for it is the story of their few years spent at RIT. This story is being written con- stantly behind the closed door and opaque windows. Who are the people who devote so much time to Techmila, and what do they do? Our only evidence is what can be seen at each quick look as the “secret door” is opened. The general scene is a smoke-filled room with paper littering the floors and desks. Photographs are piled high across the mounting table. The moving of people about the room and the clicking of type- writers transmit the sounds of tremendous activity. A voice cuts into the air and everyone stands motionless, “Where's ‘Hypo’?”. (This is the Editor, “Deadline” Bouton, calling for the photo editor. Art Nields.) Everyone instantly gets back to work as Art steps forward to report on his photographic staff. Where’s the copy for page 40?” Pete Brown, known as the “Genius” among his fellow workers, is still trying to keep ahead of the deadlines! “Anybody for out of town’?” is Earl Wolfe's idea of how to get a coke and not pay for it. He likes nothing better than having everyone else to get a Rochester coke bottle, while his has the name of some other city stamped on his.

Bouton Ediior-in-Chief Ninety-nine Clint Denman Publisher Robert Sullivan Editor Jack Heers Business Manager Ned Austin Photo Editor RIT Reporter Racing through hallways, rushing past noon-hour strollers, and bounding down stairs two at a time, a student on a mission darts past Clark Lounge and ap- plies the brakes at an open doorway. Brushing his hair back in place, he makes a rapid reorganization of books and paper and steps in the Reporter office. A quick glance around reveals staff members checking assignments and huddling over photographs and stories. He walks toward the editor and places a typewritten sheet on the desk, turns, and starts to retrace his steps, when— “You're late! That assignment was due yesterday!” Before an explanation can be offered, someone else rushes in to the photo editor with a print. “Are these the best you could get? WherCve you been?” And so it goes, as editors and staffers race against time to beat that boggie of the newsroom—Deadline Day. But somehow it's met—with some concentrated effort here and there and a few corners cut short. Once again the Reporter goes to press for distribution to day and evening students and thousands of alumni. Unique in its production, in that all work on the publication is performed at the Institute, the Reporter is a practical vehicle for student participation, not only editorially, but also photographically, mechani- cally, and artistically. It also serves Graphic Arts with a regular research “guinea pig.” With ever-expanding coverage, the Reporter this year extended news of the Institute, alumni, and re- A noon-time conference with the Photo Editor Preparing to make-up the pages for the Regular Friday Edition One Hundred STAFF Clint Denman Publisher Robert Sullivan Editor Robert Weinstein Campus Editor Ned Austin Photo Editor Jack Heers Advertising Manager Joe Evanchik Mechanical Superintendent John McCullough and Dave Radens Assistants Dona Id Samis Circulation Sports: Ed Deutschman, Richard Hugendubler, Bill Rommel.

For the second consecu- tive time, the Reporter this year was awarded the coveted All-American superior honor rating national- ly by the Associated Collegiate Press for winter term issues. In gaining this highest recognition for general excellence, the Reporter this year scored a record evaluation. In addition to a similar award last year, the Reporter also was named the best campus newspaper in the college division of the Rochester Times-Union and Democrat and Chronicle competition. Announcement of this latter distinction was made this year, as issues are judged annually during the fall following year of publication. These cumulative honors are indeed a tribute to the students.

The time is any Monday night at 5:00 p.m. The reason is a Student Council meeting. The representatives? —talking like long lost friends, of course! In walks the President, down comes the gavel, and now the attentive representatives are ready for serious discussion of Institute problems. The primary function of Student Council is to govern the student body. Each Council representa- tive realizes the responsibility which he holds for decisions passed on student matters. Each member has to lake into consideration not only his personal opinion on any issue but also the views of the group he is representing. No issue is too small to be thoughtfully listened to nor too large to be carefully discussed by alert members. The spirit of helpful- ness, fairness, and cooperation reigns! Always an issue of major importance is the distri- bution of the student budget to the various organi- zations supported by Council. The 1952 53 Council has felt that the allotments to a few major activities are too great, thereby depriving smaller organizations from benefiting from the budget. In an endeavor to distribute the money more evenly among all organi- zations, the present allotments to some of the major activities are being studied. A specific question— ‘is Techmila receiving loo great a share of the budget?” and, if so, “How can its expenses be cut without too seriously impairing the quality of the yearbook?” —A typical question, promoting a typical discussion among Council members. “Well, since the yearbook is one item which every student receives, it should be the best wre can afford to produce; therefore, we shouldn't cut Techmila1 s allotment.” “I don’t feel that way. Regardless of the fact that the yearbook is something which every student re- ceives, it s too expensive!” “No, I don’t agree. I think . . “Wait, he has a point there . . On and on the discussion goes. Each member speaks his mind freely, often amidst the hearty dis- approval of his opposition. Again, always prevalent in the minds of the representatives, is the question, “How do you, the student body, feel?” Among the first to give is Bland Drive Chairman, Barbara Bartenstein It doesn't hart a bit, according to this cheerful blood donor One Hundred and Two So much for the serious side of Student Council. Council has its lighter side too! Some informal par- ties in Clark Union and the dances in the Eastman lounge after basketball games represent two of Council's social contributions. And then comes that time of the year when R.l.T. Joe starts to think of things which R.I.T. Jane has been contemplating all winter! Ah. me! But while Cupid is merrily working overtime. Council is busy too. After all. it takes a lot of work to prepare a three day smash hit like Spring Week- end! Well, that’s it folks! Your Student Council in action! “The time?” Anytime between 5:30' and 6:00 p.m. “The noise?” The hearty ayes to a motion that al- ways brings a unanimous vote and— Meeting adjourned!

Its aim is to stimu- late greater interest in the field of art and to promote outside social activities. Regular meetings are held every Monday at four. This is an exact dry definition of the Art Students League but it is hard to give a true picture of it in a conventional form. It changes each year to suit the particular needs of its present members. This year for example, it had a Coffee Hour and a Friday night party. The Art Students League’s costume dance is Sitting—Marion Hondorf, Roy German, Joyce Mallory; Standing: Steven Turtle, John White, Allan Moeller called, as are those of many art schools. The Beaux Arts Ball. But though some other balls may be bigger than ours, none is more agonized over nor more jammed with interesting and varied costumes. Besides the dance, the League again this year had its booth at Spring Weekend and its regular Christ- mas party. The Christmas party is the result of a lot of hard conscientious work. The tree is trimmed with color- ful ornaments made by the students. Refreshments are prepared and served, and this year Mr. Bond entertained us with a scene from “Les Miserables.” The Art Students League provides through its energy and interest, something indefinable and very important to every student and to the entire Art School. Cost tones of all shapes, colors, and styles are displayed at the Beaux Arts Ball One Hundred and Five Crafts Club If you have ever visited the School for American Craftsmen at ten in the morning or three in the afternoon, you have probably asked where everyone was going with cups in hand. If lucky, you may have been ushered downstairs and shown the newly painted coffee room, and seen groups of students engrossed in eager conversation while absorbing hot coffee, fresh doughnuts, candy bars and cokes. This is only one of the many things that the Craft Club does to make student life more enjoyable. At the monthly meetings of the Craft Club we invite our instructors to discuss their fields for the benefit of students from other shops. We often have movies about artists of the past and present, and we always have refreshments, coffee, coke, or cocoa, or cider, and cookies. Our Christmas party was held in great style in the lecture room at the Craft School. Almost every Craft School student and faculty member attended, as did their wives and children. There was a Christ- Standing—Henry Cernhard, Lorry AIderdice, Albert IVardle, Francis Vick; Sitting—Barbara Gorton, Robert Metcalf, Cynthia Hardy. mas tree and greens and although Santa Claus did not attend, he had previously left presents for all. A groaning table wras heaped high with delicacies cooked by members of the Club. Games sent us all home tired but bubbling. The Beaux Arts Ball, given in conjunction with the Art Students League, is one of the most impor tant events of the year. The striking decorations, mobiles and additional abstract forms in red, black and white carried through the modern theme. Dis- guised students danced to the dulcet tones of Johnny Hartzog and his band in the Victorian Room of the Hotel Sheraton. Costumes ran the gamut from Watusi natives to heavenly bodies from space. Easter bunnies came out early for this affair which again proved a social success. In short, the Craft Club has had a very successful year, and is looking forward to many more to come.

Enjoying ct night of dancing and entertainment at the Beattx A rts Ball One Hundred and Six Camera Club Going into its twentieth year as an active organ- ization, the Camera Club is once again completing a successful year. With its eighty members, the Camera Club may be considered as springing inevitably and spontaneously from the Photo Tech Department of RIT. It is, in fact, one of the major extra-curricular activities of photographic students. Starting the year off with a big roar, fifty-five freshmen were initiated into the “Royal Order of Corn Bores,” as they became new members of the Club at the annual corn roast, with its usual “corny” good time. High point of the day was an exciting softball game between the freshmen and seniors. As usual, the Frosh proved to be too much for their adversaries. It has been said that the freshmen female pitching staff was the deciding factor in this victory. Vigorous intra-club competition showred up in the three salons that were held. The Pinhole Salon in the fall, the Winter Salon, and finally the newly instituted and highly successful National Salon in the Spring, were the main attractions of the year. In the National Salon, both Photo Tech Alumni and students participated. Concluding the year’s activities was the annual Camera Club Banquet, held at Rochester’s exclu- sive German Club. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of a farew-cll gift to one of our most beloved instructors, Mr. P. Shaw cross, who is retiring at the close of the school year.

And truly the stage was set for a very successful year for the 1953 Newman Club, Introducing each act was our moderator, Father Gerald Dunn, who kept the “play” moving on the stage of spiritual and social themes. Act 1: Our first informal meeting—to get to know all the new students and to inform them that our club met bi-monthly and that it featured inter- esting discussions and lectures concerning contem- porary and historical problems. Scene II: Our cabin party—with all the fun and excitement. There were hots and hamburgers on the open fire, touch football, long hikes, and dancing. Act II: The roller skating party—with its “ups' and “downs”, but all was in fun and in the wonder- ful Newman Club spirit. Scene II: Shuffle off to Buffalo—to Father Baker’s most famous shrine. Act III: Spring Picnic—baseball game, swim- ming, boating, hots on the open fire and closing with the traditional singing around the campfire. Between the acts the members attended Mass and Communion frequently together. As the curtain comes down slowly on our New- man Club Play no one will forget those who worked so hard behind the stage to keep the “play” moving along smoothly: President Don Bouton, Vice-President Doreen Sobczak.

Pi Club The Pi Club, an organization composed of only Publishing and Printing students, was first starlcd in 1947. Since that time, the organization has taken great strides in providing the students with co- curricular activities. Field trips were conducted to Hammermill Paper Company. Bloomer Brothers, and many other places connected with the Graphic Aits. These trips gave us an excellent opportunity to watch industry in action. Many speakers sponsored by the club visited the Institute to give the student additional information about such subjects as typography, inks, paper, rollers and business management. These sessions were an extension of the department program. The Club also sponsored social activities to provide some recreation for its members. The annual picnic in September was the first event of the year, and it gave all the Freshmen and Senior printing students a chance to meet. The social high light of the year was the club- sponsored Ping Pong tournament in which any students in the school could participate. A large number of students responded and showed much interest in the tourney, making it a very successful event. Of course these activities could never have been successful if it were not for the efforts and continual work done by the Club officers. President Vic Ed- wards. along with his fellow officers are to be congratulated for the line program of events which they successfully produced.

Of course� there is none of Mom’s home cooking here, but we have many of the com- forts of home supplied to us by the Residence Association. It is through this organization that a local government is provided for raising the standard of living in the Dorm, as well as for providing us with social activities. Our two main events of the year were the March open house and the inter-dorm picnic. The friends and families of the residents were able to see our living quarters and get a glimpse at dorm life. We will never forget the preparation for this affair. The scrubbing, sweeping, and dusting were continued for many long hours until blisters and weariness mastered us. The picnic, which was a great success socially and numerically, provided us w ith a chance to meet many new' friends and to swap yarns about dorm life. This year, another new addition of equipment was made to our list of conveniences. A new' milk machine was put on the second floor. This addition, along w ith the snack bar which is operated by the women from the church, has made our life here seem more like home. These and many other events were made possible through the efforts of the Council President Robert Harris, and his fellow officers, Neil Montanus, David White, Foster Johnson, and George Van Steenberg. One Hundred and Ten Having a conversation with “The Fish at Spring Weekend Swimming Club While most RITer’s are burrowing into homework and pecking off theme on faithful Smith-Coronas, the Swim Club members keep an important date every Tuesday. The meeting is posted as 7:30 P. M., but President Pat Richardson usually calls the meet- ing into order out of chaos at 7:45. Secretary Mary Lou Blum reminds us of our last meetings happen- ings, and we make more plans for our Spring Carnival booth. Our “Cash Keeper,” Dick Clark, is consulted on the balance of our cash account, as we plan our annual beach party. Our Social Chairman. Dick Nagel, runs breathlessly from Inter- Organization meeting to brief us on the social news of the RIT clubs. Vice-President A1 Strassel, who replaces Pat Richardson as President on alternating blocks, brings the meeting to a quick close with the Swim Club slogan, “Let’s go swimming!” and we run along to the Natatorium. To the “Nat”—Into the showers—to the water— behold, a sea monster!—No, its advisor Bill Schu- macher, decked out with his underwater camera equipment.

Barracks Association “I wonder what happened to the wall?” “I thought I heard a scream . . . but it’s just a distant radio.” “Well, what will we do tonight for excitement? is answered by “Let's go over to the Lounge and shoot a game of pool.” These are some of the familiar remarks that echo from the halls of the Barracks. “The Barracks” is a place where a guy learns to get along with his fcllow? man, a place where a self-government is working with great success. During this year the Barracks Council has com- pleted a Lounge and equipped it with comfortable furniture, television, and a pool table and has taken large strides in making the Barracks a better place in which to live. This gave us a recreation room where we could meet and enjoy ourselves without traveling too far. Then with the addition of showrer curtains and the new Barrack’s Loan Fund, life in our little community became more enjoyable.

Residence Hall Council Everyone knows of Kate Gleason Hall, but not everyone is aware of its governing body, colloquially known as the Dorm Council. Every Monday evening council members gather together to iron out prob- lems and improve the existence of the dorm girls. The group consists of two representatives from each class, plus representatives for those who go out on block during the school year. In addition, there are the officers. This year they have been President Kay Murray, Vice-President Mary Inger- soll, Secretary Joan Ellsworth, Treasurer Pat San- sone, and Social Chairman Nancy Drake. At a typical Council meeting some are dressed for an evening out, some are in dungarees and pincurls. One is knitting argyles for her special guy and all are chattering like magpies. The meeting comes to order. Discussions run from rules to room- mates and the meting out of the dreaded restrictions. House meetings are held once a month to take a general vote on matters of importance and to impart decisions on some. At Christmas there is a tea, a party, tinsel and fragrance of pine, carols sweetly sung, excitement and planning as the joyful day neared . . . pres- entation to a needy family of Christmas dinner, a tree, and gifts for all. Easter time brings the invasion of furry little things, newly born, in little boxes with newspaper rugs. The Installation Dinner in April calls for a few appropriate words from suc- ceeding officers, thoughts and memories provoked by timely messages delivered by faculty guests. Con- vocation Tea in May turns all eyes to the future, to the new year's coming.

It also attempts to pro- vide its members with events of an educational nature. Among the events scheduled this year were a card party, a coffee hour, a tour of the Eastman Kodak Company, and a variety of other mixers. A club picnic was held late in the school year. The club's affairs and business are managed by the chemistry students themselves with the help of their faculty advisor, Mr. Hennick. Business and program meetings at which our educational and social programs are discussed are held about twice a month. The real purpose of the club is to provide, in close harmony, events for the Chemistry Depart- ment’s students so they can become fore friendly, educated, and therefore, more pleased with their whole experience at RIT. The exceptional enthusiasm show n by the fresh- man class w'as very noticeable this year. Thus look- ing ahead, we can only visualize a very promising future for its present and future members. The Chemistry Club has seen one of its most successful years under the able leadership of Presi- dent Mary Lou Blum and Vice President Rita Levandoski and Treasurer John Bailey.

Captain Leif Gihbsson comes forward to welcome the visiting team, steps on the mat, salutes his opponent, and the match is about to begin. Another season starts, a season with a future, but “La Belle Luck'7 in her fickle way committed a foul. A veteran men's team was depleted by injuries, sickness, and work blocks, so that the brunt of the load had to be carried by freshmen members of the team. The new- comers did well and placed in experience, if not in the win column. This year saw another very successful women's learn emerge from RIT, The young ladies with the blades are earning respect throughout the state. The women's team, who lost their first and only match in lwro years, are certainly a credit to RIT, Much of the drive and spirit of the team was due, of course, to the untiring efforts of Coach Harold Flores- cue, known in the fencing circles simply as “Fritz,” The time has finally come to hang the proud, cocky, Sabre in his place on the rack.

As the buzzer sounded at the end of the last game with Geneseo, the techmen brought the season to a victorious end with a score of 93-61. This game cli- maxed a season of twelve similar triumphs out of the sixteen games played. This was a new RIT record for games won and lost. Only fine playing and expert coaching could bring this record of victories to the RIT basketeers. It was Coach Lee Fox’s best season since he came to RIT in 1941, Also helping the players to victory were the cheer- leaders, whose fine spirit and enthusiasm was passed on to the students who attended the games. They cheered the players at crucial moments and helped them strive to victory. Spirit is an essential factor in any winning streak. A team must feel that it has the backing of the students in order to have the driving force to win. This spirit has existed at RIT and the players have benefited from it. This season the boys tossed in 1,265 points to break the previous record by 87 points. The average number of points per game was a very good 79,06! Playing in their final victorious games were Seniors Gene Kendrot, Peter Kubarycz, Al Landsman, and Bob Parry. Their great playing has unwrinkled Coach Fox’s brow many times in the last three years. The record for individual scoring for the highest per game point average was broken by Freshman Ken One Hundred and Eighteen Going tip for one during exciting game with Roberts Wesleyan Everybody stretches to get possession of the much sought-after ball Rhoades.

Even- tually, a few dropped out and others were lost to the varsity because of their proficiency. Still others played varsity part time. Those that stuck through the vigorous practice and training rules developed the teamwork which later provided their sparkling competitive performances. The boys showed class and determination in the two Brockport State games and those with University of Rochester Jayvees. Tension and excitement was constant throughout the last seconds of those four tussles. The team, loaded with talented frosh hoopsters, rolled to eight victories in its twelve encounters. Top scorer on the team was Gillan but he was followed closely in points by Berdine and Holley. Others on the team were Bob Adams, Verne Gartland. Bill Hamlin, Bill Holcomb and Dan Palermo.

Tennis In the Spring, certain young men's fancies lightly turn to thoughts of tennis, and R.I.T. men are not exceptions. These tennis-court addicts comprise the school tennis team. About twenty strong they stand, racquet in hand, with no objective but to enjoy the rigor and satisfaction of a tennis match. The Institute has three tennis courts for student and faculty use. It is here that awkward beginners and experienced players perfect their serves, volleys, and backhands. Under the tute- lage of Mr. Toporeer, they arc now preparing for a rugged schedule of six matches against Brockport and Fredonia State Teachers College. Coach Toporeer is a valued asset to the team, since he was city champion a number of times and has given instructions in the city for a long time. Another feature of the club is the tre- mendous interest taken in the game by faculty members. It is well known among the tennis tribe that the best matches to watch on the Fitzhugh Street courts are those between student and instructor. The line between a teacher and his student will melt beneath the heat of a fast game of tennis. While inter- scholastic matches are scheduled only in the Spring, the courts are in constant use in the cool Autumn hours, and they are open over weekends, for those vvho arc really out to master this fast and furious sport. The club was discontinued during the last war, but since that time, there has been a rebirth of interest in the game at the Institute. More and more beginners are studiously evolving into better-than-average players under Mr. Toporcer's watch- ful eye. The future looks rosy for our tennis cult.

The wrestling squad has earned its honored niche in sports at RIT. Under Coach Fuller's driving hand, the tnatmen have hit the canvas for two-hour practice periods five nights a week. The results arc clearly shown in the team's seasonal record. This season brought to a brilliant close Coach Fuller's fourth year as mat-master of RIT. He has inspired the Tech musclemen to the outstanding showing of the past thirteen years. The team's win of 28-0 over Edinboro State Teacher's College brought to a smashing climax the red-hot schedule of dual meets. Then on to better things . . . . the 41 Meet at Cleveland. Ohio in March saw RIT come through with three fourth places. But a team is only as good as its individual members, so the '52-'53 squad had its share of good men. Captain Larry Wilson has proved to be an outstanding mat man in his three years of serv- ice. His first season was sparked by the capture of One Hundred and Twenty-two the Niagara A. A, U. Championship, The 137- pound Letterman’s Club president was runnerup in the 41 last year. John McCullough, a 147-pounder, has been a mainstay on the team during his two years on the mat. Another body-flcxer who has proved his worth repeatedly is Rod Rittenhouse, whose aggressive antics on the carpet remind one of a cement mixer that flipped. Gary Dotzlcr. 150-pounds, is an able asset to the Blue and Gray Techmen. Jim Barclay has demonstrated promise in his seven wins and three losses for the year. The team's heavy, Ed Ross, provided the necessary final pressure and skill for the team. Offspring of an ex-Syracuse University wrestler, Tim Schantz puts his 130 pounds to good use for RIT. John (Little One) Radocha, Tech 123- pound cr, has proved the old saying about good things and small packages. Put them all together and you have the outstand- ing wrestling team in recent years. They have caused much weeping and gnashing of teeth among their rivals. Here’s to our wrestling team and Coach Earl Fuller for a tough job well done!

RITs “Ralph Kiner” poses for the photographer Baseball With coming of Spring, 1953, an old familiar RIT scene was once again seen. Students carrying bats and gloves can mean only one thing—baseball is back. For the first time in two years, the uniforms and other equipment were unpacked, and the once familiar sound of “Play Ball” was heard around the broad fields of Genesee Valley Park, the Tech home diamond. Though the calendar had said it was Spring, bad weather at first prevented outdoor practice. For the first three weeks, the ball club used the gym. to loosen up arms and legs. Then with the better weather at hand, the club started practice treks to the Park. About thirty students turned out this year, and of this number, only five were seniors. Don Anderson, who has performed on the mound on Long Island, and Gene Kcndrot, who has displayed his talents in Monroe County as a catcher, composed the senior battery for the ball club. First baseman Gerald Smith, second baseman Buckley Buckpitt, and third One Hundred and Twen ty-four T his halter lakes a healthy swing during pre-season practice Curve bail coming up as the pitcher displays iiis excellence on the mourn! baseman George Van Steenberg, were the senior in- fielders. The freshmen cover the outfield posts, and they also understudy the seniors. Coach Ray Vos- burgh stated that with such a good turnout and such good material, he is sure that he can build a spirited team for RIT. A1 ‘‘Boob Scharf, the manager of the team says that this team is a good starting point for keeping baseball at RIT on an intercollegiate level. A tough schedule was served up to the new team. The boys matched talents with Roberts Wesleyan College, Brock port State, Potsdam State, University of Buffalo, and many other experienced teams. However, with the fine coaching and line spirit which our team possesses, they would be willing to play the Rochester Red Wings. First game tenseness and injuries to a couple of key men brought us out on the short end of the in- augural, but the spirit kept sparking the nine to some fine ball playing in that game and for the rest of an uphill schedule.

A Sports night wrestler gets a painful twist from his opponent Lettermen’s Club “To unite ail the athletes of Rochester Institute of Technology into one organization so as to perform in a formal way social activities in which they, the athletes, can participate as a unit.” This was the creed and idea that prompted the organization of the Varsity Lettermen’s Club. This was the incentive that led a group of athletes to write a constitution, to elect officers, and to give to RIT another func- tioning club that has added to student fun and entertainment. The club was organized to be self- supporting and to be independent of student council financial aid. 1951-52 saw the club’s first and most successful social function, the first “Annual Sports Nite,” held at Jefferson High. That Sports Nite revolved around the theme of diversified entertainment in the scope of the sports field. The program consisted of a fenc- ing exhibition, a fun fested faculty vs. varsity basket- ball game, wrestling, and tennis. The proceeds from this and the members’ dues enabled the club to hold their “First Annual Sports Banquet.” The 1952-53 activities again highlighted, “The Second Annual Sports Nite.” It was one of the most entertaining evenings of the school year. The ac- tivities were greatly enlarged. A parade of athletes started the highly successful evening with due tribute paid to the Seniors. This was followed by a table tennis exhibition; then the ever fun-filled faculty vs. varsity basketball “game,” Ed Watson’s mystifying magic, and a riot of a challenge wrestling match. A two-hour dance, featuring Benny Manning and his orchestra followed. The officers for the year 1952-53 were President Larry Wilson, Vice-President A1 Landsman, Treas- urer John McCullough, Correspondence Secretary Cleo Wombacher, and Secretary Terry Norcross. Up and over goes one wrestler—the victim of a neck and head scissors One Hundred and Twenty-six Inter-Sorority Council “To stimulate and improve the welfare of all the sororities and to provide them with an efficient standard of policy and program.” These are the ideals of Inter-Sorority Council, which started in 1920. Some years after this, the Council set up a program which strengthened the scholastic standings of the sororities Each year a trophy is awarded to the sorority having the highest scholastic standing. The Council is composed of three members of each sorority. One of their problems which is ever present but always successfully solved is the pledge period. The Council guides and regulates the rush periods as well as other matters of common interest to each sorority. All work and no play is a bad policy. To avoid this, the Council sponsors a tea and their Annual Dance. These social events give the Council excel- lent opportunities to meet sorority members and to find out the problems of the sororities. This year the Inter-Sorority Tea was a great success as each sorority was well represented. The annual dance was a huge social success as the response of the sororities to this affair was over- whelming. The back bone of the Council is the officers and our friendly advisor.

School year is off to a successful start with the “Dubble Bubble Bounce,” promoted by DO and Theta Gamma as one of the first mixers of the fall. “The Lamp Went Out” provides an en- tertaining conversation piece as newcomers and upperclassmen become acquainted. Tramps, vagabonds, drifters; vagrants, and hoboes congregate at “Bums’ Rush,” the annual rush party at which members honor the biggest bums, and freshmen meet possible future sisters. To establish a union of sincerity, truth, patriotism among our sisters Pledges’ hats become fashionable as those notorious two weeks drag by; yet there is also a newfound pride and sense of belonging well worth the good-natured taunts and teases.

The swearing in was impressive and satisfying with its constitution to uphold and its pledge to keep. “And to extend to all an everhelping hand.” There were new robes to make for initiation and errands to run for pledging. With the Christmas season came joy with gifts, toys, groceries for a very thankful and needy family and carols across the sparkling snow. Spring comes once again and cabin parties re- sume their popularity, but the hit of our season was the Minstrel Show. This annual production scored another hit to the tunes of “Way Down Yonder In New Orleans,” “Summertime,” “Blue Moon,” “Swanee,” “Toot Toot Tootsie,” and “Chloe.” It was a true DO minstrel that spread a little “Black Magic” over its members, Mr. Interlocutor, guests, and the audience. Long hours were spent rehearsing the variety of specialty and chorus numbers under musical director, Rosemary Murphy. Then there was the chore of removing black faces before skip- ping off to the dance with a feeling of a job well- done and time well-spent. We have our happy memories, for we weighed romance and wisdom and found life’s road. As we turn back the pages of fun and friendship, we find a bond strong enough to last a lifetime.

Alpha Psi Sorority Alpha Psi started the year with one of their two rush parties. At this party, the hopeful pledges got a glimpse at sorority life and the chance to meet the members. Soon after, bids were sent out and those that accepted began their life as humble pledges by wearing the blue and gray pledge caps. They bowed to the commands of the members and performed the execution of these commands as happy and dutiful pledges. One of their main jobs, which many stu- dents will remember, was keeping the books on the library shelves in order. After two weeks of awed activity, the pledges be- came official members at the annual pledge dinner. At the dinner the newly selected members received their well-earned Alpha Psi pins. Joan Robinson, Jessica Salvia, Marion Muldoon, Shirley Klem, Joan Van Wyckhouse. Phyllis Vick, Joyce Paul, Carol Kehoe, and Mary Hickey were the lirst to wear this pin and become members for the 1952 year. The first big social event on the Sorority’s calen- dar was the Cafe Adagio, which they co-sponsored with Delta Lambda Epsilon Fraternity. Sonny Al- len’s orchestra played for tine exotically costumed revelers at this annual affair. Carefree Paris and Apache dancer motifs marked the popular event. After a lull during which we all “enjoyed” semes- ter exams, big plans were brewing for Spring Week- end. Alpha Psi decided their theme for the booth at the Friday Night Carnival w'ould be Hades. A booth, decorated with red crepe paper and scenes of vices which will lead a person to that place, was designed. As a side line, the Spring Weekenders could try their skill at throwing hoops at the devil s horns and pitchforks. Alpha Psi’s final social contribution for the year was the decoration of the Midvale Country Club for “Spring Mist,” the annual Intersorority Ball. The sorority has had a very successful year. This is due to the fine cooperation and hard wrork by the members and especially through the untiring efforts of the President Barbara Davis and her fellow offi- cers; Secretary Georgia Watson, Treasurer Dolores Bennett, and Social Chairman Lynn Skinner Smith. At the last meeting of the year, elections w'ere held for the coming year’s officers. The newly elected officers are Joan Robinson, President; Jessica Salvia, Vice President; Joyce Paul, Secretary; Mary Hickey, Treasurer, and Marion Muldoon. Corresponding Secretary and Chaplain. Phyllis Vick and Shirley Klem were made Intersorority Representatives, and Carol Kehoe was appointed Social Chairman. The outgoing officers wish to congratulate the new offi- cers and w ish them the best of luck in their new jobs. One Hundred and Thirty-jour Sigma Kappa Delta Sigma Kappa Delta was organized in 1926 by nine active girls interested in cooperation, friendli- ness, and personal attainment. Sigma Kappa Delta has grown in power and strength throughout the years, producing members of scholastic achieve- ment and outstanding character. Now' in its twenty- sixth year, this organization is still strong and actively participating in school activities, both educational and social. The beginning of the school year 1952-53 saw Sigma Kappa Delta with seven members, five city girls, and two dorm girls, and our enthusiastic advisor, Pat Koch, all ready and willing to continue the success of previous years. Now began the serious business of making plans for our rush party,” pledging, and pledge dinner. The harvest of the tireless work done by the girls was seventeen pledges, all underclasmen who added greatly to the ideas and aims of our sorority. The SKD s now set out wfith great enthusiasm to plan their meetings and social activities. As many of our members were city girls, much variety was added to our meetings by holding them at the various girl’s homes. Among our activities were a cabin party with our brother fraternity. Gamma Phi, and the presentation of the Underworld Ball,” a baked foods sale in which we were assisted by Sigma Kappa Delta’s active alumni group who also gave a Christ- mas party for the present members of Sigma Kappa Delta. The party was held at the home of the presi- dent of the alumni association where we sat down to a lovely turkey dinner with all the trimmings. When we could eat no more, w'e swapped new SKD ideas for old SKD memories and exchanged Christ- inas gifts with one another. The year 1952-53 has been a very fruitful one for Sigma Kappa Delta, one filled with a spirit of cooperation, friendliness, and personal attainment on the part of every girl. SKD looks forward to the future for more good times and sorority accomplish- ments. Standing—Marianne Stephany, Mary Kay Reinhart, Beverly Klox: Sitting—Mrs. Robert Koch, Lois Reach an.

To RIT we have pledged our assistance, For to thee we owe our existence. The keg has been drained and we're mighty high— A beautiful girl for a wonderful guy. We're the youngest fraternity, we know, Bui never let it be said we are slow. We've made all their beds and shined all their shoes And not even once did we sing the blues. We are proud of our Harvest Moon Ball ’ Which is presented each year in the fall. We ll never forget forest green and gold. For these are our colors and on them we are sold. When the “Bloodmobile” calls for RIT's contribution, Look for us—it's an unwritten part of our constitution. We’ve worn our hats and we’re mighty proud; We’ll shout out its praises in voice that is loud.

Hail To Gamma Phi.” Much of the credit for this year’s success should go to Bob Sullivan for filling in the vacancy left when President Willie Wilson graduated at mid- semester. Aided by “Veep” Dave Shuckman, Secre- tary Dick Nelson, and Treasurer Marv Daniels, the fraternity was guided through another year of grow th and progress.

The co- incidence is that it was the same organization that experienced both these events. Phi Sigma Phi fraternity ended 50 eventful years at RIT by becoming the Sigma Chapter of Theta Gamma Fraternity. The eventful rebirth took place in October, 1952. This fraternity, under its new name. Theta Gamma, had a very successful year. The many activities sponsored by Theta Gamma included a Christmas party for the children at the Montgomery Youth Center, a very successful drive to collect money for the Holland Relief fund, paint- ing in Clark Union, and doing some general clean- up work at the General Hospital. The big event of the year was the crowning of the Sweetheart at Theta Gamma's annual Snowball.

Through the efforts and hard work of President Roy Getman, Vice President Thomas Tietjen, Secretary James Povlock and Treasurer Charles Deck, the year was a very suc- cessful and profitable rebirth for the fraternity.

You helped clean-up and paint-up a settlement house for underprivileged children, and you experienced a lot of joy and happiness from the satis- faction of knowing that soon you too would be privileged to wear the legendary KSK cross.

On the Saturday before school opened, 100 Pho- tography Students were driven to the Genesee Valley Park, where hotdogs, drinks, and games got the year off to a great start, including a student baseball victory over a Photo Tech Faculty team. Again in September, the fraternity and camera club joined to put on a big corn roast for their members at Genesee Valley Park. As the first of October rolled in, bids were sent out to the freshmen for pledging. In October, the fraternity beer party was held at the Eagles Hall on North Washington Street, Seventy members and accepting pledges enjoyed themselves and listened to Mr. Neblette speak of nationalizing the fraternity. At this time, it was decided that the pledges should enter the fraternity meetings but without a vote. The Presbyterian Church was selected for the large supper meetings held twice each month. In November the fraternity decided to go national. Six new names were presented to the members of the fraternity, and Delta Lambda Epsilon was se- lected because its letters stood for the D Log E curve. Under the direction of Mr. Alfred Davis, publicity director of RIT, a new' constitution was begun. After nearly six months of work, the new constitution was finally ready for a vote by the fraternity, and the papers were ready to be sent to a lawyer for incorporation proceedings. When the fraternity final- ly becomes incorporated, it will be in position to become national. . .

At the end of February, twenty new freshmen members were accepted into the fraternity. They will take over the offices under the new constitution. Three men in industry were asked to join the fra- ternity and became part of the fraternity’s board of directors along with its newr officers. On May 9, the Fraternity joined with the new Alumni Association for the first time to make a central location point for all returning alumni. A suite of rooms at the Seneca Flotel were selected as a registration place for the fraternity's returning alumni. The 1952-1953 officers—President Art Gorman. Vice President Willie Wilson, Secretary George Van Steenburg, and Treasurer James Forney—and all the present members wrish the men of 1953-1954 good luck and good brotherhood—on a national Scale! “The Whip,” Frank Harris watches over IV if lie Shoentacher as he suffers through a meal The pledges and members slop to have a snack al the annual “Corn Roast President Art Gorman and Paid Kemp make preparations for Annual Cafe Adagio One Hundred and Forty-three Spring Weekend Carolyn Duffy and Lois Bays ter sing to a large audience, “Oh, what a time we had in April!” The show, “Continental,” was produced by Phi Upsilon Phi Sorority and directed by Terry Norcross. This was their second annual production at the Spring Weekend festivities, and once again, eager crowds filled the Assembly Hall for both performances. Many even returned to see the second performance. The musical score for this production included such old-time favorites as “I Remem- ber April” and “April in Paris,” At the Pre-Spring Weekend rally, Donald Samis, otherwise known as ‘The Great Sam,” puts on a bit of pre-carnival entertainment for the hard-working students who had previous- ly been setting up their booths for the Friday Night Carnival, Tiny Dickson is seen in the background, trying to dry off after he received his ice water bath.

Come to the biggest and best show on the midway!” In the picture at the right, A1 Wardle of SAC, perched on top of the ladder, and Herman Wolf, P P, lure customers into the Crafts Club booth. The Crafts Club walked off with the annual trophy and first prize award for the best and most original booth, “Time for a change!” People who entered this booth came out really very much changed! Johnny Long and his Collegians provided the music for the annual festival dance, which was held at the Masonic Temple. In the bottom right picture, Johnny has just completed a violin solo of the dance's theme, “April in Paris.” He is probably known best for his arrangement of the ever-popular “Shanty Town,” which he played at intermission time. His novelty numbers, along with his regular roster of dance tunes, made this one of the best Institute dances. “And we danced the whole night through!” In the picture above, couples can be seen en- joying themselves as they danced to the en- chanting music of Johnny Long and his Col- legians. One of the many booths presented by the school organizations was the one made by Gamma Phi fraternity. This very decorative and artistic booth was one of several which provided fun and amusement of many kinds. Hundreds of students and their friends participated in the Friday night festivities, which included an informal dance in the East- man Lounge. At the dance, the Alumni Asso- ciation presented table model radios to lucky winners. Prizes were also awarded to the best booths and to Michael “Mr. Campus” McClatchey. One Hundred and Forty-five One of the first events of Spring Weekend was the Pep Rally held in the Eastman Assem- bly Hall. In the picture at the left, “Tiny” Dickson, Master of Ceremonies for the event, is about to get a free bath from Anne Graves. Tiny had already received one such treatment after telling one of his famous jokes. Mean- while, the halls outside the Eastman Assembly were bustling with activity as the students were setting up their booth for the evening's Carnival Below left, the Art Student s League portrays a scene which is familiar on the Streets of Paris. Here John White of the Applied Art Depart- ment is making a free-hand drawing of one of the many customers who stopped to have their pictures put on illustration board. Samples of the completed work are in the background against the walls. One of the many acts of the main event of the evening. Phi Upsilon Phi’s annual show, is represented in the picture above- A few' mem- bers of the sorority display their talents and bring back the days of the “Can-Can. Many scenes of past and present show business were presented. The show was a great success for the Sorority and gave excellent opportunity for relaxation and enjoyment for those present at the Friday Night Carnival. In the picture at the right. Mermaid Nesta Clark, is caught by the photographers as she chats with a friend before performing her duties at the Swimming Club’s booth.
