Photos and words record the story of R.I.T., what and how it gives us the things we want to know and the things we’ve done, Like a student, yes, it is this too. Each year Techmila is the freshman rushing about our concrete campus, gathering bits of information from the classroom, the social event, and your roommate. Much to be noted, committed to memory, and the final test in the spring. Has each phase of life at the Institute been faithfully recorded in its mind of pages? You have it now. Smile as you reflect upon a memory brought to mind, by a lifeless book. Too soon it will be put aside in some forsaken place and like wine; to mellow with age; but its rediscovery recalls those memories you liked best while just a student at R. .T. It is my pleasure, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, faculty, and staff of the Rochester Institute of Technology, to offer sincere congratulations to all members of the graduating class on your accomplishments, and to extend our best wishes for a promising future. We believe you have had excellent preparation for what lies ahead. We are certain that you will be able to meet the ever- incrcasing challenges of these critical times. You have been active participants in our forward-moving program, and as Alumni you shall continue to see the In- stitute progress both in educational plans and in expansion of facilities. Our growth is directly related to the needs of the social structure in which we live and the business and industry which we all serve. You are our representatives as you go on into your chosen careers, and we know you will be excellent ambassadors of R.I.T. It is on your performance that R.I.T, is judged. We are confident that you will add stature to yourselves and to the Institute. 6 Dr. Mark Ellinj'son President In order that the students of R.I.T. may become adequately prepared for effective adult living in a democratic and technological society, it is necessary for our Institution to function effectively in every phase of its operation. The responsibility for the ef- fectiveness of the program falls on the shoulders of members of the faculty and staff. Daily problems are many and varied in meeting the basic and complex needs of each student. Members of the faculty and Staff keep their eyes on tomorrow, foras each day passes, the Institute projects ADMINISTRATION itself into the future. As seen by the past, these plans for progressing with knowledge and industry have been farsighted and successful in every respect. The students of R.I.T. arc confident that the Institute will continue to provide these many and mueh appreciated opportunities. 7 Leo F.

Many things of consequence To enlighten our intelligence. 11 DEPARTMENTS Education is a gradual process, and with it comes the passing from the immature to the mature mind. Each student has chosen a specific field of study and he is eager to learn all the technicalities of that field. But soon after his studies begin he realizes that the GENERAL EDUCATION world in which he seeks a place is more than tech- nicalities—it is a mass of many things that surround his learned technical knowledge and cause it to blend into a co-ordinate whole. 14 ■ Familiarization with history, psychology, economics, philosophy, and the many general education subjects is essential to the well-educated specialist. By striving to gain a panoramic view of the world in which he will work, the student realizes that he will be better qualified to participate in it. He understands his right to challenge ideas, but first there must be a basis for clear and critical thinking in all things. Genera! education is more than a term applied to many seemingly unrelated subjects—enjoyment and understanding of these general subjects, along with success in his own chosen field, is a true indication of future success. ART and DESIGN Artists—the expression that identifies a group of students who discover new ways of seeing things. They labor diligently in order to re-create existing things so that we may also see by this new and brilliant light. From the skilled touch, the mind becomes creative, and deep thoughts passified in concentration; the raw materials are made to express the infinite dream in the finite reality. The student has much to accomplish and he must begin slow- ly and advance carefully to a well thought-out conclusion. He knows that it's far more than the use of implements that leads to success. Stanley Witmeyer 17 Busy hands and busy minds are oblivious to all but a design and its completion; they must solve today's problems with tomorrow’s answers. And finally the critical analysis by student and instructor before his work is submitted. The bad must be eliminated and the good improved—then comes the feeling of success at the exhibit. 18 20 Bassett, Bette J. Perry, N. Y.—Delta Omicron, Student Council Bennett, Margaret A, Hamburg, N.

Soon these chisels will be put to work shaping the lifeless form of mere pieces of wood and imparting beauty and utility to them. The ultimate combination of aesthetic and functional qualities must become expressed by the craftsman’s work, whether it be in day, cloth, wood, or metal. In the School of American Craftsmen the devotion to craftsmanship and molding of materials is far above AMERICAN CRAFTSMEN the commonplace. The fundamental harmonies of design must first be observed and studied by the student before he attempts to realize them in his finished work. Primary concern is placed upon the whole and its completeness in all phases of design. Harold J. Brennan The completed work of each student is unique because, as an individual he must satisfy his own personal tastes and efforts for success; but under the guid- ance of his instructors the foundation for future successes will be insured. 26 Astalos, Roslyn M.

These chemistry students require much classroom preparation and many laboratory experiments in order to gain the all-important positions in the chem- ical industry. Experimental work is accomplished by the students in the six well-equipped laboratories designed for the study of general, analytical, and organic chemistry. Here in the maze of burners, beakers, and funnels the intricate studies of the biological sciences, the prin- ciples and unit operation of chemical engi- neering, physical chemistry, and instrumental methods of chemical analysis forever pro- vide the food for the student’s curiosity of the elements and their behavior. Italpti L. Van Peursem 32 The unending search for facts and proofs goes on and on—there is so much to learn and so much to know. The student’s careful lab technique, many notes, and consultations with instructors will serve him well in the industry. Bailey, John W. Rochester. N. Y.—Theta Gamma Bochcnck, Dolores F, Auburn. N.

The student who is studying the courses in Secretarial Science. Marketing-Management, or Accounting, soon becomes well acquainted with the vastness of the field of commerce. It is more than busy hands romping on the keyboard, or the interpreting of shorthand symbols, or the problems concerning advertising, real estate and insurance-—• these courses, in themselves, require many hours of study, but it is just as important that as the student advances in his work he will have the individual satisfaction of understanding the workings of the complicated business world as a whole. H Sr 3000000000 5 g. 40 Because the student realizes that there is a per- sistent demand for intelligent leadership and ef- ficient service in business, government, and pro- fessional offices, he adjusts himself to meet these goals by long and hard work in the classrooms.

It happens when the oscilloscope confirms a concept which, up to now, has only been theoretical. 47 48 It happens when the realization comes that you have mastered the equipment and it has become second nature; or when the diagram is under- stood; or when logic and knowledge have over- come the problem.

As soon as man has stuffed his stomach once, he makes it a habit ever after, and many arc the numbers who earn their bread by preparing it. The student of food administration is within a field where there is continually a greater demand than supply of trained personnel. Because of the increasingly greater number of restaurants, cafeterias, snack bars, and other places where the public eats; his courses will prepare him for executive positions as food service manager or dietitian. Work experience the student gains while in school will give him the necessary technical knowledge of foods and he will learn how to meet and work with people of the food industry successfully. Georgia C. Hoke 57 58 The practical experience the student receives while work- ing in the kitchen laboratories with the most efficient and modern equipment and in the Institute cafeteria, will serve him as excellent pre-requisites in a well chosen career. His wealth of information and skill, in whatever phase of food administration he has selected to study, will benefit him as master chef, dietitian, or food service manager. Babosuk, Carol J.

In the laboratories his experimen- tation will reveal the unseen facts that prove the theory of the classroom. From this seemingly cold and static machinery flows unending knowledge, but first must come training in operation. He will patiently design tools upon the drawing board, study their mass production, analyze the operational methods and plan efficient manufacturing methods. The cycle of learning will be completed and the student will realize that his industrial future is secure. 63 64 As the first visible parts evolve from the drawing board and into working reality, there must be continual checking and correcting by his proven equipment, his mathematics, his theoretical physics and by conference. From his imagination fly sparks as from an emery wheel and there is ever the yearning to learn and know the new and faultless slave of production that will become an integral part of industry.

Let this be of no concern to the student for these little errors are corrected early and soon he is on the path toward professional photography with determined momentum. At his command the camera will open its eye and record, in stark reality, a scene that may serve other students in their steps of learning. In the darkrooms, laboratories, studios, and classrooms the student busily works to grasp the information that will give breadth, thoroughness, and accuracy to his work. He may venture into the PHOTOGRAPHY field of photographic technology or professional photography; whichever his choice, he will have the opportunity to learn first hand its most recent developments and to meet its outstanding re- search workers, inventors, and technicians. One of his major ad- vantages, here at the Institute, is to be situated within the center of the photographic world. Carrol Ncblette 73 Each student is, as is each photograph, a considera- lion in itself, and upon this philosophy his training finds basis. His subjects will be everywhere and every- thing because his courses are carefully interlaced to give him the finest and most complete education for his use in the field of photography. 74 Seniors Alstip, John D- Westlakc, Ohio—Gamma Phi, Inter Org Baccol, John Queens, N.

Nearly all knowledge, whether it be the daily news, collegiate studies, or the under tone of L’il Abner is conveyed to the consumer by some form of printing. Students of this ancient craft may argue end- lessly upon the advantages of letterpress and those of offset lithography, but whatever the outcome, they are in the process of receiving an education in printing that cannot be equaled elsewhere. Byron Culver 83 84 Linotypes, platen presses, fonts of type, offset and cylinder presses, and a host of other equipment stands in readiness to become a source of knowledge, by practical experience, to the student. There must also be much class work and research work accomplished before the student is prepared to lake his place alongside experienced printers. Printing is a major industry today and with the ever-increasing demand for well trained craftsmen, the student knows that his program of technical and admin- istrative study will provide him the required specialized knowledge and skill that leads to rapid advancement in a rapidly growing industry'.

The grind of long hours of study has passed and now conics work in the huge department store. The pulse of activity that exemplifies the retailing world is exciting to the student and a true challenge to success. His knowledge of retail distribution, cos- tume art and retailing, and interior dec- orating will become a rich source for his own advancement in a progressive bus- iness world. Successful accomplishments at school will predict his future retailing experiences. Selling and sewing, organization and management, construction and coordination, accounting and law do not begin to express the student's storehouse of facts and experience. There is ever a need in the sphere of retailing for the well-equipped student and he will enter a highly competitive field well armed with the weapons of know-how. 97 Armstrong, Robert Irondequoit.

Those of the staff, no doubt endowed with unusual amounts of patience, perseverance, and fortitude; can finally chalk-up one {I ) Techmila as an unforgetabic experience. The task of gathering and recording scenes of school life and presenting them so as to complete the narrative of R.I.T. for the past year, has been a rewarding venture. As the days to final deadline dwindled. Techmila enjoyed speedy growth and soon acquired a character all its own that demanded constant attention toward its final appearance. The staff discovered that a yearbook has its own way of expressing these desires—that can only be fulfilled by much work and then a little more work to set things just right. To be at the mercy of Techmila is a rare experience, to say the least; but as the final form develops and brings with it satisfaction, the book has fewer demands, looses its sternness and becomes pliable in the hands of its builders—then you have the problem beaten. Back front the printer’s press—now the master copy has been reproduced a thousandfold—it is no longer a mere project in the hands of the Techmila staff, but a completed yearbook in the hands of every student.

Council has, at R.I.T,, more governing power than like organizations at many other colleges and universities, for it directly controls the money alloted to the athletic program, student publications (excepting the Reporter), student parking lot, various clubs and organizations, and the student union. It also has the power to grant charters to student organizations and to make decisions in questions concerning the Student Association and its component parts. This year a committee worked all summer to plan and organize the very successful freshmen-orientation program. The biggest social event of the year, Spring Weekend, was also sponsored by the Student Association. The Student Association constitution was revised this year to keep pace with our growing institution, also several all-school coffee hours were sponsored, and at least three new organizations came into being —the Forensic Society, the R I T. Vets Club, and Gamma Epsilon Tau, an in- ternational printing honorary fraternity. One of the main goals of the Student Council this year has been to establish a closer relationship with the Student As- sociation. It was fell that the Council's decisions and policies should not be vague and mysterious to the student, and that the student should be informed of how the student fees had been spent. The proof of the achievement of this goal was the splendid cooperation and spirit between the Council and the Association all year. But all the spirit and enthusiasm could have very easily lost its direction and purpose if it had not been for the counsel and hard work of Mr. Robert Belknap, faculty advisor to Council; and Mrs. Ralph Miller. Clark Union counselor. It was through the efforts of these people that made this a GOOD year at R.I.T, 111 With cries of “I’m pooped! ’ and inquiries as to “When do they install the escalator?” —stall members, reporters, and photogra- phers struggled breathlessly up those in- terminably long 81 steps to report for work in their new office, in what has been dubbed the “Clark Tower,” atop the Clark Building. The move into the new office was neces- sitated by the expansion of Graphic Arts Research and other Institute building changes; then the Techmila staff llung themselves into part of the Reporter's old cell in the Clark dungeons. All in all, staff members welcomed the change and there- by were able to shed their “gold-fish- complex” acquired in the old office with its large glass windows. Although physically situated in their own little tower, all staff members made res- olutions not to take “an ivory tower at- titude in presenting the news and editor- ial content of the various issues. With three different groups to represent—stu- dent body alumni, and administration— this year’s staff tried to adequately present material of interest to each, as much as space limitations would allow. One major problem faced was the presen- tation of a paper that wrould be of interest to all factions and that would still ad- equately represent each group. In order to do this, substitute plates were utilized to a larger extent on the press runs than in past years. Although hampered by minor production difficulties at the onset of the year, the inability to obtain heat from the electrical heating system in the new office, and the long treks down to the Coke machine in the basement; staff members managed to produce the usual yearly issues in addition to two special issues. In the fall, staff members compiled a special issue for the Institute's Industry on Parade Exhibit booth at the War Me- morial, An enlarged and special student edition of the paper was also prepared for Spring Weekend. 112 THIS YEAR’S STAFF Editor-m-Chief Associate Editor .........

Wright Langley, Vke-Pres, Gordon Price Fred Moss Mitch Diamond Len Anderson Wayne Ecklund Barry Rice Ken Dewhirst Don Hoff Rochester’s first hotel was the ■'Home'1 of some 135 male students while they were attending R.I.T. This antiquated structure is a melting pot for men with different faiths and backgrounds from the four corners of the earth. Most students adapted themselves readily to this new en- vironment and can look back on this co-educational ex- perience and recall the long hours of burning the midnight oil, the thought-provoking altercations with the foreign student next door, and the 5:00 A.M, fire drills. This education, we all must admit, was valuable in the formation of our personalities. It satisfied our gregarious- ness while developing understanding, friendliness, and new philosophies. 114 Kate Gleason Hall was the place! 56 was the year! Tre- mendous were the times! How well we remember that September day when we ar- rived at our new home for the year. RUSH! RUSH! RUSH! Getting settled, meeting roommates, back to rules and regula- tions, and of course, those curfew hours! Council officers for 56 were Terry Moisio, president; Neva Hansen, vice-president; Aggie McElhaney, secretary; Sandy Niven, treasurer; and Lou Williams, social chairman. September and October brought the Inter-Dorm Picnic, the City Girls' Pajama Party, and the Blue Lagoon; all followed by the first Dorm Open House that naturally involved the men. November brought the Faculty-Dorm Coffee Hour, followed by the December events; among them, the Christ- mas Party with Santa, and the Christmas Tea. The return to school in January brought the fire drills every month, two more open houses, the Installation Dinner, and the farewell to the Dorm Seniors—the Convocation Tea. As we look back on the past year we will recall all the good times we had at Kate Gleason, and they will surely go down in our Book of College Memories. ns Newman Club NEWMAN TONIGHT! Every other Monday evening at eight o’clock there is a mighty rumble on the campus of R ET. as students leave their task of the moment and file through the doorway of Eastman 125. New- man Club meets in this room, making motions and reading minutes of old meetings and assembling committees and, best of all, listen- ing to an address from the Reverend Edward Zimmer, who be- came our chaplain last September, Newman Club is a potpourri of things, large and small . . . listen- ing to Father Zimmer on these Monday nights . . . dancing at our Autumn Time mixer . . . drying dishes after the Communion breakfasts at Immaculate Hall . , . going to a bowling party in November and a roller skating party in January . . . driving to Father Baker’s shrine in Lackawanna , , . roasting the hot dogs at the spring picnic . . planning and planning and planning for our Cardinal Newman Day, with the regional conference at R.I.T. . , . being more than just a little awc-fillcd by the solemn ceremony of initiation . . . singing carols around the piano at our Christmas parly . . . sponsoring the winter quarter R.A.A. supper in Febru- ary . , . running down Plymouth Avenue at five minutes to ten on the Communion Sunday mornings so we won’t be too late to sit with the Newmanites in the front of church . . . and many, The Officers many other things. Our officers of the year were: Sal Schifano, president; Lewis Warner, vice president; Mary Ann Smilnak, secretary; John As- selta, treasurer; and Helen Sowinski and Marjorie Kellogg, social chairmen. 116 History, old and new, was commemorated at the Hillel Sabbath Service held on December 16, 1955 at Clark Union. Chanukkah candles were kindled to commemorate ancient Jewish history; recent history was also celebrated in a way, for on that day RXT, Hillel was exactly one year old. The purpose of Hillel is to stimulate and advance social, cultural, and religious activities in regard to Judaism. Its members strive to preserve the heritage of history and culture that is theirs; and through its program Hillel strives for the abetement of racial prejudice by creating a tolerant and brotherly attitude among fellow students. The group also supports and participates in many campus activities including the Religious Activities Association and the World University Service, For a one-year-old organization Hillel did quite well in achieving its purposes—friendly relations were established during the year with Hillel chapters at neighboring colleges as well as with other religious groups at the Institute. Hillel is sponsored by B’nai B’rith, the Jewish service organization, and the R.I.T. chapter has Rabbi Joel C. Dobin for its advisor. The elected governing body consisted of Amost Mike” Blobstein, president; Serge Naggar, vice president; Ed Lazarus, secretary-treasurer; Murray Merl, social chairman; Bob Weiiibaum, religious chairman; and Ed Meyers, publicity chairman. Hillel rvtv 117 The annua] freshmen mixer held in the Presidential Room of the Hotel Rochester in September heralded in another year of Pi Club activity. The mixer afforded an opportunity for the freshmen, upperclassmen, and faculty to become acquainted and in January the members enjoyed their annual Printing Week banquet. Technical movies, talks, demonstrations, and tours through industrial plants; besides subscriptions to trade magazines were sponsored by the club in an effort to carry out its two-fold objective of providing social activities and supplementary technical infor- mation to the students in the Department of Printing. The club officers for the year were Lewis Warner, president; Lawrence Raizman, vice-president; Albert Cetta, recording secretary; Dwight French, corresponding secre- tary; Mike Blobstcin, treasurer; Joseph Miller, education chairman; Gary' Lefkowitz, publicity chairman; Richard Cruwys, social chairman; and Carl Nelson, historian. 118 After almost a year’s absence from the R.I.T. campus scene, the Art Students’ League sprang back into life with renewed vigor. The oldest organization on campus decided that neither “this nor “that” could calm exuberant spirits from bursting forth at . . . The October elections . . , when Roger Sliker portrayed a com-fcd country boy . . . and officers Harry Hicks, Neva Hansen, Carol Mitchell, and Marie Smith proved their worth and popularity . . . The gay Christmas party where handmade ornaments from Brownie's 3-D class twinkled from our tree . . . and ah! those movies . . . when Mr. Bond’s reading gave inspiration to all , . , Our annual spring sketch trip . . . regular meetings with guest speakers and movies ... the Annual Student Exhibit . . . all this and more helped prove that the A. S. L. will grow with the progress of the Institute. 119 Interorg, as it is known, is made Lip of representatives from each of the living groups (dormalories), greek letter and religious organizations, special interest clubs, department clubs, and the Religious Activities, Interfraternity and Intersorority Councils. The purposes of this group are to set the social calendar for each quarter, to facilitate communications between organizations, and to govern the social activities of the school. “Can we advertise for our dance three weeks early? or if we give you the 24th, can we have the 12th? . . , are two typical questions frequently heard in council meetings, and small though these two matters may seem, it is all part of the sometimes troublesome, always intricate handling of social activities that so many students take for granted. This year's council completely rewrote their constitution, adding an Advisory Board which functions as a recommending body to the council, Inter-Organization The chairman of the council was Dick Mort; secretaries were Lee McMath and Lynn Read; Advisory Board members were: Bill Doming, Special Interest Clubs; Jack Warner, De- partmental Clubs; Martha Galbraith. Intersorority-council: Sal Shifano, Barracks Associa- tion; Dottie Kramer, Women’s Residence Hall; Wright Langley, Men’s Residence Hall; Fred Edwards, Interfratcrnity-council; Carl Roodman, Religious Activities Association; Rod Brower, Member-at-large, 120 Religious Activities Association This has been a very important year for the Re- ligious Activities Association. Although it was formed a few years ago, the Association did not have a constitution until this school year. With the aid of our advisor, Reverend Murray A. Cay- ley, the Association strengthened and broadened its scope of activities. Membership of the Association consists of the entire student body of R.I.T. The Religious Activities Association sponsored many events this past year. It played a large part in the improved Freshmen Orientation Week by holding the first annual Rally Supper, at which the students were introduced to the religious life on the campus and in Rochester. Brotherhood Week was observed at R.I.T. with the Association sponsoring the second annual Brotherhood As- sembly. The R.A.A. also holds a supper meeting once each quarter, and in the future has plans of promoting student participation in social work in the community. This year’s officers were Carl Roodman, President; Barbara Spczzano, Vice-President; and Dick Jaquish, Secretary-Treasurer. 121 Choraliers The Choraliers arc the official singing group of R.I.T. Whatever the program may be from the solemn stillness of a memorial serv- ice to the festive atmosphere of the holiday seasons, the Choraliers are on hand to render their interpretation of suitable music. This fine group has earned for itself a highly re- spected position among the singing groups of the community and they participate in many civic events as well as assemblies here at school. Dr. Philip Kaufman, accompanied by his wife Mrs. Olivia Kaufman, directs the Choraliers. The loyal interest and participa- tion of students coupled with the friendly guidance of Dr. and Mrs. Kaufman has been responsible for the success of the Choraliers. 122 The campus organization of Student Christian Fellowship consists of all Protestant students working as a group to promote true Christian life at school. The strength of the S.C.F. lies in its very capable officers and 35 members who worked together continually the past year to give special meaning to our events. Weekly meetings with supper, business, discussion program, and worship. Rev. Andrew Yoggy, advisor to the Fellowship, led discussions and study of; ‘The World—Evolution and Revolu- tion ‘Our Varied Religions and Sects ’ Teach Us to Pray Is Sex Necessary ’ and many other topics related to the student and his everyday life. Weekend retreats at Canisus Lake in the spring and Silver Lake in the fall with planned programs of study, recreation, and fellow- ship were very successful. State-wide conferences were attended at Union College, Schen- ectady and Vassar College, Poughkeepsie. The S.C.F. is also affiliated with the Student Christian Movement of New York State Student Christian Fellowship which sponsors these study conferences twice a year. Special projects of benevolence were undertaken, the largest of which was R.I.T. Night at the Barn” with the receipts from the dance and floor show used to place a high-fidelity music system in the Student Lounge. 123 Since we, as citizens of the world, must come to understand each other more completely in order to live peacefully among ourselves; the International Students Club was formed in 1945 by the students from foreign lands who attend the Rochester Institute of Technology The chief purpose of this organization is to promote knowledge and understanding among the students from abroad and those of this country. These aims are accomplished by our monthly meetings followed by social hours, panel discussions and talks given by distinguished guests from various countries throughout the world. International Students present views on recent world affairs; such as, the Communist problem in Vietnam, the conflict in the Middle East, the neutrality of India, and the many happenings and problems of the world today. All students, faculty, and members of the staff arc invited to participate in the International Students’ interesting and informative activities which are conducted under the guidance of Robert Koch, faculty advisor. 124 Ski Club This year the Ski Club with its larger membership really gave “Old Man Win- ter” the business , . . ski business, that is. Before the leaves had fallen, the newly elected officers: Mike Perretta, president; Bob Tomberg, vice-president; and June Johnson, secretary-treasurer; had the sea- son underway with a cabin party held at Mendon Ponds. At the party Bill Topor- cer, club advisor, began his pre-season training by keeping the fireplace well stocked with kindling. The cabin party was a success and a forerunner of the season that followed, Enthusiasum was held high by many “when there's snow, we go trips” to the local ski areas. The beginners were first spoon-fed with ski movies shown at the club meetings and then were presented full-course instructions at the slopes by the tynos of the club. The season came to a climax with a week- end trip to picturesque Whiteface Moun- tain where excellent ski conditions matched an excellent time by all. Now, as Techmila goes to press and green grass sends the hickories into storage, the club members look back upon the active winter season with snowy nostalgia. 125 T 9 iviciaquer S Guild Organized to stimulate interest and participation in dramatics, the Mas- quers Guild is comprised of students from all departments at R.I.T. Activ- ities include talks on the various phases of the theatre, theatre parties, social get-togethers, and play production which often gives students a chance to direct as well as act. To date, the group has worked with- out the aid of elaborate settings and equipment; but increasing interest has prompted us to make plans for the future which will provide for such facilities. This year the officers were Howard J. Rogers, President; Pete Jedrzejak, Vice- President; Ernestine Fischer, Secretary; Mike Spallucci, Terasurer, and Kris Broikou, Librarian. The faculty advisor was Mr. L. Robert Sanders, 126 Forensic Society Resolved: That the non-agricultural industries of the United States should guarantee their employees an annual wage ” ... and we're off on another intercollegiate foray, including logical thinking, verbal acuity, persuasion, and factual evidence. Under the direction of Debate Coach, Joseph Fitzpatrick, the R.I.T. Forensic Society was formally organized in September of 1955, The aims of the organization are primarily to restore to student life many of the ideas and principles which were evident in the formation of the Rochester Athenaeum in 1829. The Society has fielded four intercollegiate debate teams which have taken part in eleven tournaments and numerous home-away meets. Other activities included participation in the formation of the Rochester Forensic Congress, the presentation of an International Affairs Seminar, an Economics Seminar, and an oratorical contest. The combined teams have met over sixty other colleges in Northeastern United States. The tournaments included: Houghton, St. John Fisher, Geneseo, Canisus, University of Buffalo, LcMoync, Brooklyn, Hofstra, Georgetown, University of Rochester, and St. Lawrence. 127 The R.I.T. Alumni Association has a membership of approximately 1 1,100. We welcome you to this body of loyal sup- porters of Alma Mater All graduates of the Institute are mem- bers An Executive Council, elected by mail ballot through the R.I.T. Reporter, governs the Association. For many years the Association has raised funds for the Institute, assisted in student recruitment, provided scholar- ships and suggested policy changes. Direct financial assistance to Spring Weekend, Alumni Association furniture and equipment for student lounges, and magazines for student recre- ation halls illustrate Alumni support of student activities. Help is given members in maintaining and renewing friendships and associations born at R.I.T. This may be done in per- son at the annual alumni reunion and through the Reporter, which brings spot news of alumni to all. The 1955-1956 Greater Alumni Fund has raised over $8,000.00 to publication deadline. 128 129 We go to great extremities To join the best fraternities, Where on our bared astonishment A paddle prints acknowledgement. 131 GREEKS Sweetheart Ball Snowball Harvest Moon Dorothy Mitchell Susan Wick Debra Chambers 133 Roberta Gray Mk Lrnhirdt Bjrlurj Adam M ry Ami Smihuk ALPHA PSI Jannrne Vandenber ge Barbara Sipmiiw Marjorie Kellogg Shiilrv Murat Margaret Benner Shirley Sopnrilci Roberta Jeralim Ann Fermolle Joyce bobtrg j.ll Re.g Mary Jane Houlihan ft ft ! l j Morflenberflrr Suun Kfmhf “Alpha Psi, we honor, love you true . . Truly, a sorority expresses many things, hut the most meaningful is that of love. To its members, love for Alpha Psi is a lifelong possession. Our honor and love, guided by our advisor. Miss Feme King, has lead us along the rightful paths as a successful group. “We do pledge ourselves forever, with sisterhood and loyalty . . What is more significant to the new pledge than the sorority induction ceremony? Surrounded by dimly lit candles and symbolic sorority pins, each pledge vows herself to sisterhood and loyalty. Sisterhood—to love her sisters and to bind together the ideals of unity and equality. Loyalty—to express truth, courage, and faith in carrying out the duties bestowed upon her. We will always be dependent on our gray and blue . . Blue with peace, dignity, and fidelity, as the sky, and gray with warmth, softness, and purity, as the shadow on the pearl.

AND A PLEDGE THAT'S WHISPERED LOW, AS WE JOINED THE BONDS OF SISTERHOOD. A MEANING WE ALL KNOW.” And in November of 1919, with the permission and cooperation of President Farnum, Phi Upsilon Phi Sorority became the first social Greek letter organization for women students at R.I.T. Today, strong and active. Phi Upsilon Phi is the oldest and largest sorority on campus. “MAY WE KEEP THE BONDS OF UNITY. AND FIDELITY SO DEAR, WITH OUR FRIENDSHIP AND OUR LOYALTY, WE'LL HOLD IT E RE SO NEAR.’’ Friendship, leadership, character development and scholarship are the goals stressed by the sorority, with the aim of helping its members to better themselves through worthwhile college experiences shared by all. The members of Phi Upsilon Phi Sorority are active in many phases of R.I.T. life, including school government, athletics, club activities, and school publications. The well-rounded student is the ideal of the sorority. Highlighting this year’s activities were a successful mixer, the Bermuda Bounce; a formal rush party; the Phi U-Kappa Sig Charity Christmas Party; pledging; a Phi U first: The Dawn Dance; an Initiation Dinner-Dance; Spring Weekend; and the Installation Dinner.

A dash of pledging ... a glance into teas ... a flash of Spring Weekend . . . what could make better memories than the past year with Delta Omicron? Do you recall the first mixer sponsored by Delta Omicron? Mad Hatter’s Ball it was, with a few “real gone” caps and a jitterbug contest. You couldn’t forget the Delta Omicron tea where the work was earrings, of course. With the opening of the new Ritter Clark Gymnasium, a night we won’t forget for a long time, Delta Omicron held a mixer. We had the privilege of holding the first dance in the new building. Wasn’t it fun caroling at the old folks home and the Christmas family just before the holidays? Do you recall seeing a group of girls dressed in black pledge caps with orange letters? Pledging began the new year with lots of excitement. The constructive pledge period was truly enjoyed by both the sorority and the pledges. Nothing more ap- propriate than the Snowball could have happened in the middle of pledging. And then came Delta Omicron’s annual minstrel show with black faces and songs to make a wonderful show better because we worked together. None of us shall let the Initiation Dinner slip from our minds, an im- pressive ceremony ending pledging for another year. The brightest light in our memory is that of Spring Weekend . . . always a perfect climax to the school year. It was great . . . remember? 139 Another year has drawn to a close and with it the activities of Inter-Sorority Council, Although its “undercover” work is never truly realized by the R.I.T. campus, its duties were skillfully per- formed by the various sorority representatives. The year commenced with a most important duty in any group: that of completely renovating the organization’s constitution. Re- visions and amendments were adopted to further the aim of council. This aim, which is most important, is to draw the sororities on campus closer together in matters of common interest and to guide in the rushing of their prospective members, INTER-SORORITY COUNCIL In the social light, our events began with the entertainment of the freshmen coeds at a tea on October 19ih in the Eastman As- sembly Hall with each sorority contributing to the tea’s success. This event was followed by a pep-rally in December in honor of the first home game and a cabin party in February. Last but not least, the familiar Bermudas were changed for slippers and gowns at the annual I-S Ball in March, 140 Officers for the year were: Barbara Gray, President; Connie DcCamp, Vice-President; Lee McMath, Secretary' and Treasurer; and, Gail Cranncll, Social Chairman. Advisors were: Mrs. Hugh McNair; Miss Feme King; Mrs. Warren Rhoades; and, Mrs. Jean Stampe, INTER-FRATERNITY The purpose and objective of Interfratemity Council is “to provide a medium of exchange and interchange of ideas, programs and pur- poses between all fraternal groups looking to- ward the continual improvement and advance- ment of fraternity life.” A year older and a year wiser was I.F.C, after laboring over a revised constitution which final- ly synthesized itself into a workable document. The objective of a revised constitution — a stronger, unified Interfratemity Council. Along with increased unityj I.F.C. extended its school activities to include: the first student assembly in the Ritter-Clark gym; presenta- tion of the I.F.C. Neil French Trophy to the champion fraternity basketball team; presenta- tion of I.F.C. scholastic trophy to the fraternity with the highest scholastic average for the year; a Spring party held jointly with Intersorority Council, which will be continued as an annual affair, A variety of situations were confronted through- out the year. We hope to continue in our at- tempts to increase our objectives and standards in the future. Interfratemity Council anxiously awaits the arrival of 1956-1957. r 1 Q V Ailhui Riihirdi - v' S ■• ■ A fbowi dii iKii N'-himm PrliifniM Lhtn Miiki X«imn HiJi.kM, |o«f SjllfUM a A f K p ◄flf inf %f HifKird t«iui Hgud Hill py' A'lCliur Viifftl!

Kappa Sigma Kappa Through fraternity living we have broadened outside interests, widened our scope of acquaintances, and promoted a mutual understanding which will be an asset throughout our lifetime. Under the leadership of outstanding officers the brothers enjoyed many memorable social events. All the way from the first cabin party down to the dinner dance, with the Sweetheart Ball the highlight of the closing school year. Then there were the many services performed by the brothers in doing social work for the community. It would be difficult to forget the many happy faces of the children at the annual Christmas party. The suc- cess of this party was in a large degree possible through the assistance of our sisters of Phi Upsiton Phi Sorority. The closing of the pledging period brought us many new members. As usual the pledge period was devoted mostly to constructive work on the part of the pledges. To these new members the future of the fraternity be- longs and wc feci it is in capable hands. To the brothers whose college days are drawing to a close, we extend a hearty farewell and a wish for success in their field of endeavor. Those of us who are to return in the fall can look forward to another year of the good fellowship that is fraternity living. 143 Con Huskey Jack AlcGann Neil Butterfield Bob Brice A - - a Richard Beresford GAMMA PHI Jim Crouch Mike Agrecky Manny Teschner Bob Sloan George Yons Fred Niven Dick Lane Dick Frank Bill Towns Jerry Price Ralph Dandrea Ron Prachel 3 Joe Media Mel Bushart Danny Pasto Fred Seeley Roger Ellsworth Fred Moss Bill Pennington Tom Kasprzyk John Alsup Bill Greenwalt Bob Bernhard Malcolm Luft Once again we review ihe highlights of another tre- mendous year for Gamma Phi fraternity at R.LT. Mem- ories of our endeavor to promote brotherhood and goodfellowship as an essential factor in the lives of the Brothers will always bring a deep feeling of pride—for in success there is pride. As the Autumn unfolds, the strains of “Shine on Harvest Moon” bring into view the first big week-end at R.LT., the Harvest Festival. A first this year was the Harvest Jazz Festival, featuring the Dixiland Ramblers. Many occasions presented themselves to further the intimacy and friendship which we share with our sisters of Delta Omicron to round out a year of fun for both organizations. The pledges of Gamma Phi, bearing the Green and Gold Badge, represented a select group of Techmen. The rigorous schedule of our pledge class, however, did not dampen the fun-loving spirit of our pledges To these men, pledging will always be a mem- orable part of fraternity life. From the early quarter joys of pledging to the post-term festiveness of Spring Weekend, the year 1955-56 will long remain in the hearts and minds of the Brothers of Gamma Phi fraternity.

A fine scholastic record coupled with a well rounded social program fulfilled the qualifications for this successful fraternal year. Prudent guidance by a highly competent group of officers and advisors also lent to the favorable achievement of our endeavours. The diversified social program provided entertainment for everyone. For those whose hearts beat for the happy music of country folks, a square dance was held! in October called the “Witches Brew. For those who prefer the soft music, tinkling glasses, and cozy atmosphere, the Christmas Dance at the Rochester Yacht Club did the trick. Making the most of a cold snowy winter, a cabin party was held in the whitened grandeur of Powder Mill Park. The high point of the social year was the annual “Snowball in January. At this affair a new Sweetheart of Theta Gamma, Miss Susan Wick was chosen. An elaborate dinner-dance at a local country club at which new officers were installed, provided a fitting climax for a most progressive year. 147 DELTA LAMBDA EPSILON Since the beginning of Delta Lambda Epsilon three years ago, the majority of its charter and past members are now employed in the various fields of professional photographic work. We brothers are proud of these men and hope that they may some day turn to find other brothers in the field, helping to obtain the utmost goal of the fraternity—success and dignity in and among photographic circles. This year the fraternity has held special pledging periods and has increased Us membership greatly. Also, we have extended our program to increase fellowship and communication between the men of the photographic field and the photographic student body. To this end we have sponsored programs this year featuring noted personalities in the profession within our geographical reach. We are striving to build brotherhood in the fraternity, so that we will be a more beneficial organization represented among the R.I.T. campus fraternities. R.LT.’s chapter of D.L.E. is the first chapter of a professional photographic fra- ternity for students in all fields of photography, and we have great hopes of adding many more chapters from institutions offering a major course of study in photography. 148 GAMMA EPSILON TAU Amid the whirring clatter of the linotype, the staccato throb of the cylinder press, the harsh flashing of the arc lamp; an honorary printing fraternity found its place in the Department of Printing. In October 1955, following the formal initiation banquet and presentation of charter, the Zeta Chapter of Gamma Epsilon Tau became an integral part of the Institute. This new chapter of the international honorary professional graphic arts fraternity has had much success in accomplishing its goals for the advancement of knowledge and brotherhood in the graphic arts industry. Although the professional phase is stressed there is a place for social events and the members, officers, and advisor have all par- ticipated in the program of activities for its expansion and realization of purpose in pre- paring the student for his career in the printing craft. The key requirement of high scholastic achievement for membership has; in the words of Byron G. Culver, Printing Department head; formed an organization where each member cams the right to distinction. Gamma Epsilon Tau not only stands for the science and knowledge of the an and craft of letters, but it also serves as a definition of a craftsmanship which printers everywhere have chosen as a career. The officers for this past school year have been Armin Wimmer. president; Sydney Jacobs, vice-president; Robert Ball, secretary'; Peter Jedrzejek, treasurer; Raymond Hites, historian-librarian; and Alexander S. Lawson, faculty advisor. 149 We display our natural bend In the sports where we contend, And the fame accumulated Is, like energy, soon dissipated. 151 SPORTS Fencing The 1955-56 fencing season turned out very suc- cessfully for Coach Art Ploulfe as the Women's team ran their string of consecutive wins to 18 over the past three years and the Men's team ending with a six win, six loss record for the season. The Men’s team had four straight wins at home over the University of Buffalo St. Lawrence University, Syracuse University, and Utica College. At foil, Juan Carvajal had a 21 win 15 loss record. His teammates were freshmen Ken Falk (14-16), Dick Greene (10-12), Chuck Smith (3-7) and Don Hershberger (1-8). In epee, the tall man’s weapon, freshmen Dave Kelly (16-17), Derry Mounee (16-20), and Sid Gold- smith (8-22) competed against a host of experienced fencers. The sabre veterans compiled a .546 fencing average. Captain Carl Nelson led with a 26 win 8 loss record. Don Kuhn (13-13), Art Borock (9-9), and Elliot Geligoff (11-19) rounded out the remainder of the team. On the distaff side the Women’s team completed their third undefeated year. The 1955 Intercollegiate Women’s Fencing Association Champions registered six consecutive wins over St. Lawrence University, Elmira College, and Buffalo State. At a special Christmas Invitational Tourney held in New York City, Barbi Brill placed second and June Johnson fou rth. Returning from Iasi year's championship squad were Captain June Johnson (20-2), Patti Esley (14-5), and Olympic hopeful. Barbi Brill (16-1). Along with the three veterans, this year’s squad consisted of Donnie Choate (9-5), Carol Taylor (9-4), Connie Aagaard (4-8), Marilyn O’Connell (1-4). Marilyn Burpee (1-2), and the manager, Barbi Bush. The cries of “Go Tigers Go” were answered this year as R.l.T.’s Varsity five swept 17 opponents to give the Institute its first undefeated basketball season. Lead by the record breaking performance of Ken Hale, the Tigers also topped their team scoring record when they charged over the cen- tury mark to beat Ontario College 104-71 on the opponents home court. Hale broke three records during his current scoring spree. He topped the golden thousand mark of points and put forth the highest individual score and game average ever recorded in R.I.T, basketball annals. Playing a highly competitive exciting brand of ball, the Tech quintet never allowed their op- ponents to stand more than eight points ahead of their ever increasing scores. Pacing Hale through the season were Ed Baucum, a freshman standout, Fred Moss, returning letterman, Arnic Cardillo, a transfer student, and At Landsman a former regular who returned after a three year absence. The fast stepping crew was backed up by an ex- cellent reserve of returning lettermen and stand- out newcomers. Leading the Techmen to their memorable season was Coach Lee Fox who is in his second decade of piloting the Tiger basketeers. With Lee Fox, coaching is a hobby and he rates as one of the few unbeaten unpaid coaches in present college cage circles. The 55-56 season was also historic in that it saw the opening of the Ritter-Clark Gym. For the first time the Tigers had a home court on which to meet their foes. Piloting the J.V.’s to a 7-6 season was Lou Alex- ander. Jr. who joined the R.I.T. staff as physical education instructor and J.V. coach. 154 Swish 1000 UNDEFEATED BASKETBALL SCORES R.I.T. 73 Brockport State Teachers College 62 84 McMaster University .............................. 57 104 Ontario College 71 79 Potsdam State Teachers College ....................61 82 Roberts Wesleyan College.......................... 56 103 Fredonia State Teachers College 80 103 Geneseo State Teachers College 36 86 Fredonia State Teachers College ...................40 98 Ontario College .......................... , ,49 87 Roberts Wesleyan College...........................65 76 Brockport State Teachers College 60 84 Oneonta State Teachers College 73 90 Utica College..................................... 70 99 Oswego State Teachers College 58 98 Geneseo State Teachers College 49 81 Akron University 75 92 Utica College .................................... 74 155 Wrestling 156 Making extensive use of R.LT.’s new Ritter-Clark Gym, the Tech grapplers grunted and groaned their way through a season of 9 wins, 3 losses, and one tie. The matmen lost only to strong teams from Case Institute of Technology, Lock haven State College (Pa.), and Waynesburg College (Pa.). The matmen subdued such teams as the University of Toronto, Clarkson College of Technology, University of Buffalo, Cortland State College, and Ithaca College. The tie came about in their meeting with Colgate University. During the season, the team members toppled many records to set new heights in wrestling at the Institute. Jim Modrak had an impressive record of 12 wins and no losses for the season to bring with it a tally of 29 straight wins during his intercollegiate career. Jim Cargnoni established a new season record of 8 pins during his 9-2-1 season. Standing out with a record of 11 wins, one draw, and no losses was Tony Palmierc, a second year student Modrak and Palmiere were nominated for “All American” laurels by the publication “Wrestling News’’ for their season showings. Hans Dotzler turned in a record of 8 wins and 4 losses this year, his first in varsity competition. Also moving up from last years J.V. squad was Carl Johnson who finished with an even six win—six loss record. With the regular season at an end, various squad members traveled to Cleveland, Ohio to participate in the 4-1 (Individual Invitational Interstate Intercollegiate) Tournament at Case Institute of Technology, Leading the Techmen through their prosperous season was Coach Earl Fuller. Coach Fuller has been monitor of the R.I.T. grapplers for several years. 157 R.I.T.’s Varsity baseball season got under way early when spring training for pitchers and catchers started in the Ritter-Clark Gym early in March. The team then took up spring drills on the diamond at Genesee Valley Park. This year’s team was comprised mainly of returning lettermen. Frank Silk- man, hard hitting center fielder, held down the position of captain for his fourth consecutive year, Silkman also ranks as R.l.T.'s heavy hitter holding an average in the 400 group. He was also head of the Letterman’s Club during the 1955-56 term. George Holdridgc who won four games during the ’55 season was also back on the R.I.T. diamond. Other returning letter- men included Ralph Van Peursem, Roger Wright, Jim Allen, Frank Rinaldi, and Fred Moss. 158 The !56 season saw the replacement of Ray Vosburgh as coach by Lou Alexander Jr., physical education instructor at the Institute. Vosburgh, who entered R.I.T. diamond activities while a student in the Department of Printing, left the Institute for a position In the industry. He did much to further baseball as an inter-collegiate sport of the school. Last year he piloted the Tech men through a season of 4 wins against 5 losses. Tech was hampered in their '55 showing by a lack of pitching strength. This year the Tech nine went against opponents from Brockport, Gcnesco, Potsdam State Teachers Colleges and Paul Smith’s College. 159 Tennis Ever since the Inner Loop swept away our courts, we have hoped that the plans in progress for new courts might soon be realized. In the meantime the new Ritter-Clark Building gym and ice rink floors have provided excellent facilities for the varsity tennis practice. An outstanding schedule of inter-collegiate matches was arranged by Lou Alexander for this school year. The home matches have been played on the courts that have been loaned to us for the occasion, by other institutions in this area. Pictured here are some of the varsity hopefuls who turned out in March to start early practice and to answer the call of the tennis coach. Bill Toporcer. 160 Cheerleaders Many are our memories: the new uniforms of blue and grey, the captains, Marge Spang and Sue Hart, the call of “Go Bubba” from Joyce Tilley, the wild “rahs” of Gail Crannell, the excited shrieks of Cathy Wright the forgetfulness of Karen Smith, and the fine job done by our Jayvees— Vera DeMaeo, Pat Callahan, Sandy Tyrell, Barb Lobelle, captained by Bev Partridge. And never-ending patience of Mrs. Wiminer, coach, the 1,044 points scored by our own “Diz,” the undefeated record of our basketball team, the jobs well done by our mat men and fencers. Most of all we remember the terrific school spirit this year and all the fun and excitement we had. 161 We throw a sweet bouquet Of memories from 90's gay. To those of you who did attend The doings of our Spring Weekend. 163 SPRING WEEKEND Bustles, bangles and bicycles-built- for-two ... is this 1956? ... or the Gay 90’s? A peek into the past brought back those good old days when, for a nickel, one could really have a time! And what a time was had, as a gala three-day spree, called Spring Weekend, climaxed another year’s activities. Spring Weekend was the exclama- tion point of R.I.T.’s social calendar, calling for the combined efforts of all campus organizations. It was our weekend, sponsored by all of us, the result of our work, our talent and our ingenuity. 165 166 167 A Gay 90’s theme provided the impetus which engineered a 20th century miracle—turning back the pages of history, converting a modern city block into a charming, whimsical panorama glorifying those long gone, but not forgotten good old days!” Saturday found us dancing to soft rythmic strains, relaxing after the hectic fun of Friday’s Carnival. The present- ation of the Spring Weekend trophy to Phi Upsilon Phi and the crowning of Robert Ball as Mr. Campus added the finishing touch to a gala evening. Open-house at the dorms ended the weekend’s activities. Although Spring Weekend is over for 1956, our combined efforts made it a success in every way, and it will be lucked away in each private memory-file, to be recalled from time to time when we remember “those good old days!” 168 American Type Founders L-Kin Sport Shop Mary Aldrich LeBeau Photo Shop Parkview Service Station Heinrich-Seibold Stationery Co.

Through their labors, student life at the Institute has been colorfully recorded for another year. The design of this year’s book is meant to express somewhat of a debonair look—with side-lights of humor flickering here and there. Many thanks are extended to Instructor Andrew Yoggy for his all- enduring patience while posing for the Department Color Dividers. These Dividers have been printed by offset lithography, at the General Color Company, utilizing the Kodak Three Color Process. The cover design is by Robert Ross, third-year Art Design student, and printed by offset lithography in the R.l.T, Printing Department.
