Wilkinson 10 The President’s Message To the Class of 1955: For the past two decades the world we live in has been faced with crisis after crisis. During this period of time half the peoples of the globe have lost their freedom and that of the other half has been continuously under threat of loss. For the greater part of the life of each of you in this year’s graduating class your country has either been at war or threatened by war. During your college years you have faced the possibility of being called upon for service in some branch of the Armed Forces, and this faces most of you after graduation. It has been gratifying to those under whom you have studied that, in spite of all this, you have been earnest in preparing yourselves for a career in a profession that permits no demagoguery and which directs its efforts toward increasing the standards of living of your fellow men. You have shown that you have the ability to live for the day in a period when the future offers the prospect of great unrest. The bright side of it all is, however, that never before in the history of the world have the free peoples been so determined to remain free. In spite of the threats of war and the tremendous uncertainty of the years ahead our country is at the peak of prosperity with the standard of living at its highest level. Maintenance of that prosperity and a continuance of a high standard of living are our greatest assurance of successful resistance to the forces of evil. Each of you has been educated for the purpose of assuming a definite place in the vanguard of those resisting the ever-present threat to the personal liberties of us all. We in the faculty, after four years of intimate association with you, are sure of your abilities and purpose. We have no hesitancy in presenting you to the engineering profession firm in our conviction that you will take your places in the ranks of Rose men who for over seventy years have been the leaders in the nation’s progress. The faculty join me in wishing you God Speed in the fruitful but uncertain years ahead. Sincerely yours, Ford L.

The recent advances made in synthetics and atomic energy have placed this field in the limelight of public opinion. The curriculum at Rose provides a firm background in the prin- ciples of chemical engineering from which the young engineer may draw as they are needed. Civil Engineering The great buildings, bridges, highways, and other allied structures are a direct result of the principles learned in the field of civil engineering. The tremendous scope of this field necessitates a through grounding in the basic fundamentals of engineering. The great number of specialized fields open to the civil engineer makes this a very lucrative profession indeed. Electrical Engineering The production, transmission, and distribution of electric power and the uti- lization of electronics, have become so important as of late that the electrical en- gineer now plays a leading role in the saga of America’s increasing industrial might. Atomic power is rushing to the forefront in the power production phases of electrical engineering to make this field even more diversified and interesting. The widespread use of electronics in computors, in television, in industrial appli- cations, and in many other capacities is drawing an increasingly greater number of engineers into this ever expanding field. 26 It’s Arthur Godfrey Time!

Successful completion of a four year course in Military Science and Tactics quali- fies a Rose graduate for a commission in the Reserve Officer Corps of the United States Army Engineers. This privilege was extended to Rose in 1919 when an En- gineer Unit was established under the provisions of the National Defense Act of 1916. The four year course is subdivided into a basic two-year course which is at- tended by all freshmen and sophomores and an advanced course of the two addi- tional years plus six weeks of summer camp at some recognized army station. The advanced course may be elected only by qualified upper classmen. The Rose Unit has a fine record of precision and spirit in its participation in the annual Armistice Day and Armed Forces Day parades. An annual federal in- spection at which visiting officers from various branches of the United States Armed Forces review and inspect the unit adds not only to the color of the year but also encourages the student to develop his initiative, confidence, and ability. 30 The Rose Rifles led by Jay Stevens performed expertly on several occasions. ' pice «4 ie t The unit takes part in the an- nual Armistice Day Parade, dis- playing its excellence in military drill. en a Academics What knowledge is of most worth? The uniform reply is Science. This is the verdict of all counts. For direct self preservation, or the maintenance of life and health, the important knowledge is—-Science. For interpretation of national life, past and present, without which the citizen cannot rightly regulate his conduct, the indispensable key is science. Alike for the most perfect enjoyment of art in all its forms, the needful preparation is still—science. And for purposes of discipline—intellectual, moral, religious—the most efficient is, once more science. —Herbert Spencer pee a a a es a de a te Rew Shop Practice and Training Shop Practice For practical engineering the student needs an understanding of the tools of his profession as well as the basic principles. The industrial arts courses pro- vide instruction and practice with machine tools to familiarize the student with the means and methods used in industrial processes these courses are designed to provide a general background rather than to develop specialized skill. 33 aw PU Ss Homecoming if i 3 ‘ i = Lfy ok pene PU DUES Se = resa fown called Jacksany lle in J TInfercepted pa ass and Then a wide en =. -4 c 2 - From there hails 5c foot ball t € engineers were oul to hg leam- The B Dive Boys vealal of I 5 hey thughe gaire with Rose woul! he pf They rambled and daiabled till the = GSES so Lambda Chi Alpha, winner of the Homecoming house decoration trophy for 1954, Alpha Tau Omega Theta Xi HERE COME THE BOYS FROMILL COLLEGE : ete WHO KNOW LITTLEOFOUR BOWLING KNOWLEDE = WE WILL NOT SPARE THEM, BUT STRIKE AND SPLIT THEM AND ROLL THEM INTO LIMBO vs. Sophs Engineers Day I955 The fourth annual Engineers Day was held on March 26th and was followed by Parents Day on the 27th.

A few bad breaks (literally, Al Merrelli’s dislocated elbow in the first game and Terry Vanover’s broken nose) combined to change what appeared to be a promising season into a mediocre one. Even so, the Engineers were only one game away from the Prairie Conference Championship, which wasn’t decided until the final game of the season. A ent ON te ReyA t Ki Fab ye! ee FT ' ; Se a ahs a o - Mere koe The season opened with state-foe Taylor traveling to Rose and eeking out a 12-7 victory over the Engineers. One of the out standing plays of the season was made by Bob Young in this game when he returned a Taylor punt 88 yards for a touchdown. The next weekend the Engineers travel- ed to “Grizzly” country at Franklin, where they recovered a fumble to go ahead 7-6 at the start of the second half. But then the Franklin team suddenly came to life and put across three more touchdowns to win 26-7. The following Saturday was an open date and evidently the rest did a lot of good, as the Engineers pounced upon Prai- rie Conference rival, Eureka, 26-0 on the following weekend. The Eureka game found the Engineers reaching “paydirt” in every period, the first time being on a 32 yard runback of an intercepted pass by Owen March. Homecoming day soon arrived, and with the stands packed with alumni and friends the Engineers met another Prai- rie Conference foe, Illinois College. In a good display of pigskin skill the Engi- neers outrushed their opponents 185-72 yards. Terry Vanover and Jerry Garrett scored TD’s for Rose and the final score showed a 14-0 victory for the Engineers. At halftime the Rose ROTC drill team en- tertained with a display of marching skill. The win streak was broken at Chicago by Navy Pier. The home team drew first blood by scoring in the first six minutes of the game. Later on Samuels unleashed an 85 yard punt return for an apparent touchdown, but the officials called it back, ruling his knee had touched the ground on the 15. On the last play of the game, the home team scored again and the Engineers lost 14-0. r _ . - { bee -2 fee eT ER aod Ae we ws ‘ a Pai, “ i = The following Thursday the Engineers traveled to Culver-Stockton where they plaved under the lights for the first time in Rose history. A 34 yard run by Larry Samuels and a pass from.Gene Stoker to Bob Young brought touchdowns for Rose. Fisher broke through the line to nail a ball-carrier in the end zone and to add a two point safety to the Rose scoring. It looked like the Engineers might win in the fourth quarter when Samuels got off a 58 yard run, but he was stopped on the 18 and the touchdown never materialized, leaving the final score, Culver-Stockton 21- Rose 16. 52 Co-captains March and Samuels (vw F ge ee Despite a 2-4 record, Rose was in line for the Prairie Conference championship if they could beat Principia. That however, was something no team had been able to do. In fact, Principia had only allowed two touchdowns all season. The Engi- neers erorrs proved to be their downfall as Principia scored five times on five Rose errors to win 31-0. So ended the 1954 season with two wins and five losses. There were many players on this year’s team, which was lead by Co-captains Larry Samuels and Owen March, who figured prominately in the Engineers play. Among them were many novices who were gaining experience for the seasons to come. It can certain- ly be said that what the 1954 team lacked in points it more than made up in spirit. 53 A iene tanieR asian Back row: Coach Carr, Bock, Steproe, Ross, Oakes, McPherron, Clark, Johann- ingsmeir, Shumate.

Don Snape and Bob Bright at forwards, Jim Blair at center, and Bob Young, Harold Brown, and freshman Gary Giffel at guards was the usual Rose combination, with Snape and Young as co-captains. Blair was the most consistent scorer, being second in conference scoring when he was lost to the squad at the end of the first semester. With the loss of Blair, freshman Jim Oakes took over the chores in the pivot. Bob Bright and Don Snape continued to pour in jump shots from the forward positions as Gary Giffel and Bob Young were consistent long-range snipers. The season got off to a thrilling start at Concordia of Springfield when the Engineers came from behind to put the game into an overtime before they won in a game marked with typical early season errors. This was fol- lowed by losses to Concordia of Ft. Wayne and McKin- dree and wins over Eureka and Huntington. The win over high-ranked Huntington closed the season for 1954. The new year saw wins over Springfield and Harris Teachers College, and losses to Illinois College and Mc- Kendree before the end of the semester. The McKendree game proved to be the thriller of the year as the Engi- neers doggedly fought the taller Bearcats through two overtime periods before going down in defeat, 85-81. After finals the squad traveled to Principia where they lost a close decision, but on the fol- lowing night they avenged an earlier loss by de- feating Illinois College, 55-51. The Engineers took over in the last minute after the score was tied and scored the four points that proved to be the winning margin. A tall Greenville five outscored the Engineers on their home floor to gain a conference victory, but the following week saw the Engineers in the victory column twice as they outlasted Oakland City on the Oaks home floor and won a decisive victory over Principia. Coach Jim Carr used the entire Rose squad as the starting five rolled up a 30 point margin mid- way through the second half in this contest. The Engineers came up with two wins and two losses in their next four contests, finishing the season with a victory over Eureka at home. This gave them a season’s record of 10 won and 8 lost, and a conference mark of 6-5. With only one senior, Don Snape, and two juniors, Bob Young and Walt Johanningsmeier, the team seems to be in a building period and hopes are high for an even better season next year.

Coach Phil Brown’s cindermen turned out early in the spring to work out those aches and pains that come with getting into shape. Before the season began injuries, sickness, and grades had already forced vacations from practice upon various members of the squad. Nevertheless, the spirit of the Engi- neers remained high and this season will no doubt reflect that spirit. Heading the squad this year was a truly great competitor, Terry Vanover. Other squad mem- bers were Larry Dickson, Bill Gaither, Ron Meredith, Bob Mogle, Milt Sanders, Dick Irey, Tom Clark, Carrol Oakes, Jack Hills, Jay Stevens, Don Lewis, Ernie Davidson, George South, Jack Foltz, Art Sutton, Larry Thomas, Nick Costello, Charles Tolson, Rick Ressler, and Dave Cundiff. This year’s Student Manager was Paul Cella. Participating in their last season were seniors Don Lewis and Bob Mogle. The Coming of spring to the Rose campus brought with it the renewal of the “American pastime” for another year. A large group of Rose men answered Coach Carr’s call for re- cruits and the prospects looked good for a winn- ing season for Engineer’s diamond men. A heavy twelve game schedule crowded into the six week season kept the team on its toes as well as busy. The 1955 edition of Rose’s baseball team was headed by co-captains Larry Rodabaugh, a pitcher, and Al Merrelli at shortstop. This year’s team is well stocked with underclassmen who are ready to fill any vacancies that might occur. The members of this year’s squad are Dick Hirst, Owen March, Dale White, Don Simp- son, Reed Wythe, Bob Hicks, Frank Prybyiski, Tom Zimmerman, Bill Bock, Larry Kirts, Frank Molinaro, Joe Donninger, Gene Basiic, Dale Smith, Roy Kalen, Charles Kallis, Bill Payne, Fred Fowler, Bob Sutton, Jim Tobias, Gordon Whitesell, and Ray Goump.

Of the eight teams formed the Comets, com- posed of Ruyan, Gordon, Lott, Elsey, Schapenberg, Masvoka, Camp, Fur- lan, and Kirk, emerged the victors : at the season’s end. Director Kelly named a all-star rooster composed of outstanding players from the re- maining teams. Those selected were | McIndoo, Hirst, Rhodehamel, C. Smith, Bruner, Carpenter, Potts, Rodabaugh, G. Rezek, Pruitt, Kalen, Beck, Kallis, Flangian, and Harris. Basketball Basketball time soon rolled around and there was a large turnout of men to play the hardwood sport. The series was played in two sections, one before finals and the other after the second semester started. The Junior Electricals went undefeated in nine games to win the first section championship. For the second section some of the teams regrouped, but the Junior Electricals kept the same squad and proceeded to win nine straight in the second section for that championship also. The Junior Electricals won two post seasons games against the All- Star team to keep their undefeated record. Although the Junior Electrical team was paced by Roy Kalen’s high scoring, it was team play that told the story of their success. Kalen’s running mate was Larry Rodabaugh at forward. Walt Mc Indoo started at center with Jim Clabro, Gerald Pruitt or Tom Denier as guards. These men were relived from the bench by Stan Carpenter, Art Sutton, Jack Dodson, and Charles Tolson. Although the above lineup often started, it was not unusual to find some of the other members of the team starting.

About eight teams representing the veterans, various classes and departments, and the faculty were formed for this season’s play. Like anything else this program can only be as success- ful as the men participating in it want it to be. This was the first year that the intermural program has been carried on on such a large scale. The men who participated enjoyed themselves and they found an opportunity to work off some of that “steam” that builds up when one has a heavy scholastic load. Next year, with more men partici- pating this program should prove even more valuable to the school. ————— 4 feet S as Scns oni i ewig RRA NE SF ectierriwcagice bes . bows itary Ball Mil ORGANIZATIONS Back row: Trueb, Williams, Masters, Burtner, Thomas, D., Weir, Cordill, Larr.

The group was efficiently guided by Otis Glazebrook. Through the work of this group the early goal of forming a national organization of brother- hood was attained in a relatively short period of time. There are now over one hundred fifteen chapters spread among the leading colleges in the United States. The Indiana Gamma Gamma Chapter at Rose was organized November 15, 1893, by F. E. Smith, an Alpha Tau from the Beta Beta Chapter at the University of Alabama. This year we celebrate our sixty-second year at Rose. This year, as in the past, the Taus have taken an active part in campus activities. Jack Elder and Chuck Hayward serve as editors of the Rose Technic, John Gregory was editor of the Modulus and also president of Student Council, and Dick Bosshardt served as president of Blue Key. Six Taus were members of Tau Beta Pi and nine ATO’S held membership in Blue Key. Social functions this year included picnics, hayrides, open houses, and informal dances; the highlights being the VMI and I.F. dances. Another big event was State Day which was held at Danville, Illinois. Gamma Gamma won the trophy for best attendance. Lambda Chi Alpha OFFICERS President 2 ..4. 44), oaeuaes eee oe Wayne Mason Vice.

Another highlight of the year was the White Rose dance which was held joint- ly with the Indiana State chapter. This dance featured the crowning of our “Cres- cent Girl,” who was Miss Joan Parker, a student at DePauw University. Other social season features were open houses following dances, a Thanksgiving dinner, open house for Parent’s Day, and a picnic at McCormick’s Creek state Park. Theta Kappa Zeta was well represented again this year in atheletics as well as other campus activities. Walt Johanningsmier, Lou Hageman, and Terrell Vanover won recognition for their scholastic accomplishment by being “tapped” by the Blue Key fraternity, as well as receiving Honor Keys. In Honor assemblies, Bob Bright, Jack Shumate, Dick Newgent, and Terry Webster were also awarded honor keys. On the gridiron, such members as Harvey Greene, Bill Payne, Bob Young, Frank Molinaro, Jim Calabro, and Terrell Vanover won letters, while Norb Fail- ing served as manager. | Basketball representatives were Bob Bright, Jim Blair, Don Snape, Bob Young, Walt Johanningsmier, Harold Brown, John Bizal, Jim Oakes, Dick Newgent, and Tom Steproe.

Scholastically and extra-curricularly the brothers of Sigma Nu distinguished themselves. Joe Leppert and Art Sutton were tapped for Tau Beta Pi; while George Rezek, Art Sutton and Myron Clark were chosen for Blue Key. Athletically Ray Fischer, Jim Tatooles, Bob Woldstad, Owen March, Art Sutton, and Carl Cunningham saw action with the Football squad; while Art Sutton and George South covered the track events with Dick Hirst and Owen March active on the baseball team, managed by Don Wood. Proudly Sigma Nu displays her trophies which were won in the interfraternity games of football and basketball. Again this year the big event was the VMI dance held in conjunctin with ATO and TX fraternities.

This was followed in December by the Christmas Dance. The next few weekends were spent industrially in repainting the house inside and out and in fashioning a recreation room in the basement. During this general “cleaning up operation”, we were honored by a visit from our national president, M.S. McNay, and a group of other officers from St. Louis. Kappa faired well during the forthcoming rush by obtaining 12 pledges. The next, and top social event, was our annual pledge dance, the Bowery Ball, which was enjoyed by all who attended. Our social calendar for the year was topped off by an enormous fish fry and picnic held on the banks of the Wabash. Kappa was well represented in extra-curricular activities. There were nine TX’s that participated on the football team as well as the senior manager. Merrelli was elected as co-captain of next year’s team as well as being co-captain of this year’s baseball team. Three other Kappas’ also were active in this sport. Mrava was treasurer of the SAME as well as being assistant commander of the Rose Rifles. Seneff was president of the ASCE professional society. On the ROTC Battalion Staff, Lai was S-1 and Masuoka was S-3. The chapter also had ten members of the R-Mens Association. Kappa was well represented on the Modulus staff, Glee Club, Radio Club, Camera Club and Rifle Club. The year’s activities were dimmed by the untimely news of Brother Joe Buscher’s tragic death. Joe was a June, 1954, graduate and an active Theta Xi. A memorial trophy has been established in Joe’s memory and will be awarded annually to the outstanding pledge.

The job was kept in the hands of the seniors until 1896 when the responsibility was placed upon the junior class and was published at irregular intervals by the juniors until 1929. In 1931 the staff organization and publication procedure were changed. At this time the policy of picking the staff from the whole student body was started and has continued since. It is the aim of the staff to provide a permanent record of 1954-55 school year.

Each A S M = Sa 4 e ¢ member receives monthly a copy of “Mechanical Engineering”, published by the parent society. Activities include local plant inspection trips, the regional convention, and the annual pig roast. Just as civil engineering was the first type of engineering, the A.S.C.E. was the first of the engineering societies to be founded. The national society was first formed in 1852. It was not until 1927, however, that the local chapter was or- A SC E. ganized at Rose. The student chapter is sponsored by the parent society which enables students in the civil engineering field to become acquainted with their chosen profession.

The American Institute of Chemical Engineers, represented in the Rose student A i CH F branch, sponsors such activities as plant trips, hayrides, scientific films, regional Site's a mees meetings, and the ever enjoyable trip to the brewery. The Rose chapter was founded in 1937 and has been active continuously since that time. The electrical engineering profession of the world is represented in the Amer- ican Institute of Electrical Engineers. The A.I-E.E. was founded 1885 and the Rose Chapter was granted its charter in 1911. Today there are over one-hun- A. H A FE. F. dred and thirty chapters in the leading technical colleges and universities of the country. Films, field trips, and social gatherings are enjoyed by the group as well as meetings and discussions of a technical nature.

Blue Key Back row: Gordon, Hall, Wood. Since its arrival on the Rose Campus no organization of students has done more for the benefit of the school than has Blue Key. During the course of the year Blue Key will give a smoker to better acquaint the freshmen with Rose, supervise the freshman-sophomore activities, plan parents day and engineers day, stage the St. Pat’s Day Dance, carry out the faculty evaluation poll, and join with the faculty to work out many of the problems which develop. Rose has something to be proud of in the accomplishments of Blue Key. No honor is more highly coveted by engineering students than that of being initiated into the honorary scholastic fraternity, Tau Beta Pi. was founded in the year 1885 at Lehigh University and came to Rose in 1928. Since that time the Tau Beta Pi key has been the goal of every Rose student with the desire to be a better than average engineer. Back row: Mason, Vanover, Hackett, McGlone.

Student Council is the student governing body of the campus. The councils . main function is the distribution of the student fund to the various school organ- Student Council izations. Among its other functions are the conductions of class elections, the awarding of student honor keys, and the reviewing of problems of its member organizations. The purpose of the honor key is to convey to outstanding members of the stu- dent body some of the recognition which they deserve. Student Council awards the keys on the basis of a point system to those students who have worked outside of the classrooms for the betterment of the school. The large number of men Honor Men who possess these keys is an indication of the spirit which has given Rose an extracurricular program which compares favorably with the largest universities.

Interfraternity Council The primary function of the Interfraternity council is to promote harmony and good will among the four fraternities and the school. This is accomplished by discussion of problems of mutual interest to the four organizations at a monthly dinner meeting held at one of the fraternity houses. Of utmost importance to to the council is the setting of rush dates and the formation of the rules which govern the preferential rushing system. 89 NGS CiGHi Ss ey A CLASSES Seniors ALLINDER, RICHARD HARTLEY Indianapolis, Indiana; Arsenel Technical High School; Electrical Engineering; Sigma Nu; Junior Class Secretary-Treasurer; Class Honors, 2; A.
