Shinkle, Business Manager PRINTED IN ANGOLA, INDIANA T WO Volume 14—1937 PUBLISHED BY THE SOCIETIES OF TRI-STATE COLLEGE ANGOLA, INDIANA orewora Faithfully and earnestly we have endeav¬ ored to present to you in this year’s MODULUS a true portrayal of Tri-State life. Although at first thought the present road seems long and hard, there is evidence among these pages of far more than just work. Moreover, the years have a way of wearing off the tarnished edges and revealing only brilliant memories. Thus, it is our hope and belief that this book will serve both as a current interest and as a future guide to pleasant reminiscences. To the Engineers of the World we respectfully dedi¬ cate this book in appreciation of the exemplary role which they have always assumed in the foundation and improve¬ ment of our civilization. In the business, political, and cultural phases of our life they have commanded the es¬ teem of their fellow men. In his own field the engineer ha s advanced far be¬ yond his day as a whole. Economically and politically his intelligent, accurate analysis of national problems combined with an under¬ standing appreciation of the people, gained through con¬ tact and experience, has served as a leveling factor in the government of our countries. Culturally he has broadened his personal scope as have few other men, because of necessity and through a knowl¬ edge of the dangers of the extremes of specialization. Above all, morally the Engineer is regarded by his contemporaries as a clear thinker and a worthy guide. May the present and future graduates of our Engi¬ neering colleges attain a genuine realization of their many and varied responsibilities and carry on with regard for the ideals established by a long line of truly great men.

E?� ’ Pimm Entrance to the Campus Seven Eight Administration Building Mechanical Building Nine Tri-State Lakes Ten For several years during the late depression various agencies of pub¬ licity were full of predictions to the effect that there is no longer any place in our economy for trained men. The statement was made time and again that young men were wasting their time attending college and that they might as well resign themselves to the prospect of a pick and shovel job—if indeed they were able to secure that much. For¬ tunately thousands of young men refused to be misled by this propa¬ ganda and by their actions proved themselves much wiser in many ways than their elders. Industry at the present time is calling for technically trained men. Literally thousands of involved problems are calling for solution and that solution involves the services of men trained to think. The solu¬ tion of these problems will tax the best efforts and the highest resources of the men of the coming generation and will enlist the best efforts of the young men of today upon whose shoulders will fall the responsibility of solving them. Young men completing technical courses today in any line whatever are to be congratulated upon the fact that they come into positions of responsibility at a time when so much is to be done. The members of the 1937 graduating class of Tri-State College will find work awaiting them—work that is worthwhile—and it will call forth their best efforts. We, who know them so well, are proud of them and are certain of their ability to faithfully discharge their obligation. We present to them our best wishes as they go forth to do and to conquer. BURTON HANDY, President. Eleven On account of the way things are being done these days and the general outlook of things the college graduate may be somewhat con¬ fused as to just the right thing to do after graduation. He will probably seek out ways and means whereby he may secure a position which propo¬ sition usually means that he will seek out his friends and acquaintances for some kind of advice. These folks of course will give plenty of advice but it is very doubtful if much of this advice will be of any real benefit to the graduate for the simple reason it is quite difficult to pass on very much personality from one person to another. We all have our own lives to live during the period at hand so it is pretty much up to our¬ selves. The sad thing of the whole affair is that we have this life to live just once and all mistakes and errors are never forgiven or excused— they always stand as is. A college education, if well done, means a lot of hard work, self denial to a lot of things we would like to do, and the doing of a lot of things which seem trivial and of no importance at the time of doing. However if one is honest with himself and takes care of the every day problems and work assigned to him, he will finish his college course with a wealth of valuable information and details. Then when the graduate finishes his course and starts out on his way in the world he will find a proposition of application before him. If he will strive hard to apply the information and details he learned in college, also strive hard to develop his personality he will be sure to be more than satisfied with results. May every graduate of Tri-State be able to make the most of his personality and become wise in the application of essentials. WILLIAM A. PFEIFER. OUST! It has been extremely interesting to be a part of the social and eco¬ nomic problems which have confronted this country during the period of years known as the thirties. First we had the depression. The real start was in the summer of 1929 when corporation earning reports be¬ gan to look unfavorable. It was not until the stock market crash in October of that year that the public became aroused. The loss in values which occurred at that time was only an indication of what was to follow during the next few days. Politicians and economists studied the problem and offered many remedies which were expected to cure many of our ills. Yet values continued to tumble until the bottom was reached early in 1933. From that year on conditions began to improve. Two important stimulants were used, namely, the revaluation of gold and the inaug¬ uration of the N. R. A. Theorists will argue as to the lasting benefits which were derived. We do know that late in 1936 business in dollar value again became normal. However, many millions of our unskilled workers still are unable to find a market for their labors. At this time it is well for young engineers and scientists to begin to give consideration to their opportunities. Futile indeed are the panaceas of the politician when compared to the lasting economic re¬ sults which are achieved by the development engineer when he creates a new product. The answer to all of our economic and social ills is to be found in the workings of our tool builders and accomplishments of our scientists in their search for things that are new and useful. PROFESSOR ROUSH, Secretary-Treasurer. Reliability is a quality which is the foundation of all that is high and noble in human character. Other attributes may add to its splen¬ dor, other traits may occupy a more noticeable position, but the first question asked about any man who seeks a place of honor and trust, is Can he be depended upon?” If you would follow a good example, watch the engineer who is so interested in his job that he stays after hours to work out some new plan he has devised in connection with his department. He may get no immediate pay for overtime; recognition of his diligence may be slow in appearing. But sooner or later the pay envelope will respond, and he will have attained and will hold a position of trust and honor. GEORGE G. NIEHOUS, Chairman of Board of Directors.

Helping your fellow men can be con¬ sidered from two view points; one the honest effort to make the way more smooth for a friend, and the other the detrimental effect which your help may have on the friend’s initiative. Much can be said in support of both view points; so as in all things be temperate in helping others. ALICE A. PARROTT, Head of English Department. Eighteen m e n t Upon completion of a college course in engineering you will be prepared to solve problems of technical nature and thereby earn a livelihood. However, your success in life will largely depend upon your ability to deal successfully with people, that is, to make people like you and to do your will. This has been called Human Engineering. This art is not a gift from Heaven to a fortunate few, but can be attained by all who will seriously study the problem. You may not be privileged to do great feats in engineering, but every day will bring you the opportunity to make the men you meet your friends. If you can do this your life will be filled with hap¬ piness and you will be a blessing to the world. S. D. SUMMERS. ROBERT CARSON, B. S. in E. E.

LA BOSKY J; R, COLE M ZORAWSNSKS Twenty-two 11111 a u onopcirij C n 9 1 neei°i n 3 va tern i The Tau Sigma Eta Honorory Engineering Fraternity of Tri-State College was founded by the Engineering Society of Tri-State College in January, 1930. The purpose of the organization is to reward outstand¬ ing scholarship among Tri-State students. In April, 1930, a charter was granted to the fraternity by the State of Indiana, thus permitting 1 au Sigma Eta to function as a local collegiate honor fraternity. To be eligible for election to Tau Sigma Eta, a student must be registered in some branch of the College of Engineering, and have car¬ ried a minimum of twenty class hours per week, and have maintained an average grade of B or better for four terms prior to his election. At the beginning of each term a list of eligible candidates is submitted to the fraternity and seven of these candidates are elected to membership at the discretion of the members. Formerly, membership in the fraternity could be attained by out¬ standing campus activity, three members being elected from this group each term. However, due to abuse of this means of securing member- ship, it was eliminated by an amendment to the constitution in tEe Spring of 1934, and at the same time the scholastic requirement for member¬ ship was raised. Under the guidance of the late Professor Ott, Tau Sigma Eta insti¬ tuted in its program a short talk by one of its members at each meeting. These talks are given voluntarily by the member; the subject is of his own choice; and thev are primarily for the purpose of giving the mem¬ bers practice in speaking before an audience. This plan has proved not only very beneficial to the speakers, but is often a means for the listen¬ ing members to obtain valuable information on subjects that might other¬ wise have been unnoticed. With seven years of active work behind it, Tau Sigma Eta now holds an enviable place among the organizations on the campus. By keeping high its standard for membership it serves to help its members maintain their excellent scholastic standing; while for future members it serves as an encouragement to pursue their studies with greater dili¬ gence and perservence. Tau Sigma Eta stands for the ideal in campus organizations; broth¬ erhood and friendship, a well balanced social program, and the mainten¬ ance of high scholastic records. With the hope that such recognition will encourage undergraduates to more diligent study and reward students for their scholastic efforts, Tau Sigma Eta, honorary engineering fraternity, through an appropriate committee has selected from the graduates of each of the past four terms the student with the highest scholastic average for special honors and the student with the second highest standing for honorable mention. From this group the student having the highest average and the one hav¬ ing the next highest were elected as Valedictorian and Salutatorian of the Class of ’37. T wenty-three We, the Seniors of 1937, are here today —but it will not be long before we have departed from the folds of Tri-State and entered into the greatest of all schools— The School of Actual Practice.” In this new school we shall put into practice those fundamentals gained from all the years of study since early childhood. The new pro¬ fessor will be experience,” and our degree not a B. S. or M. A., but SUCCESS. Suc¬ cess is obtained through determination and the respect one has gained from his fellow men. Every person must have that everlasting determination to forge on, regardless of misfortunes and failures that come to them. The thought of these misfortunes and failures should be forgotten. The author of a recent book, Wake Up and Live,” sums the thought of determination into one simple sentence: Act as if it were impossible to fail.” This author was of the opinion that it actually takes as much energy to fail as it does to succeed, and that we should turn this energy back into useful things instead of throwing it away into day-dreams and secondary activities. Surely this is logical enough to be understood by all. We should subject our mind to definite discipline as a probationary period for a definite activity in obtaining a set goal or accomplishment. Surely if we, the Senior Class of 1937, face this new school of ours —The World—with the determination to put our best foot forward with all of the energy we possess and keep the respect of our fellow men, success is sure to be ours. In closing, on behalf of the Senior Class of 1937, I wish to congratu¬ late and thank the editor and staff of the 1937 Modulus” for a most interesting and effective book. JOHN T. McCORMICK.

On the above mentioned date he crashed at the Tri-State Airport, and suffered injuries to which he succumbed soon after reaching the hospital. Walt was born in White Plains, New York. He came to Tri-State for the fall term of 1934 to study aeronautical engineering. He would have graduated in the winter of 193 6. Walt whose congeniality and contagious manner made him greatly loved by all who knew him, is fondly remembered and his absence more keenly felt. We of the Modulus offer this humble tribute to his parents, rela¬ tives, and his innumerable friends. That such an accident should hap¬ pen to one of our number is something none of us may understand, but it will, nevertheless, be a never ending source of sorrow. o First row, left to right—Fred Strickland, George White, Manuel Silos, L.

It was during this period that the society became a chapter of the National Aeronautical Association with a membership of some 5 0 odd students. The Spring Term of 193 5 saw this thriving society planning a field trip, under the leadership of Professor Burnham, to Wright Field, where the latest developments were explained. The large number of speakers during this term showed the real value of this co-operative body of students, so at the end of this term the society was well established. The Fall Term of 193 5 swelled the ranks of this society and in¬ creased the members of the National Aeronautical Association. Ban¬ quets, talks, moving pictures, open discussions swelled its program. How- ever, as in all organizations, the Winter Term of 193 5 showed a decline in membership due to the very bad winter. The society rallied under the able leadership of Gordon F. Freed¬ man, and a field trip was planned to Fangley Field, Virginia. Approxi¬ mately fifty or more students went on this four-day trip through the Martin plant at Baltimore, Md., Fangley Field and back to the Smith¬ sonian Institute. The great value of this trip can only be realized by those who were fortunate enough to take it. The Fall Term brought a new president to the fore—Meredith Jones, better known to his friends as Merry.” This term saw the reorganization of the society and the adoption of a constitution which gave to the outstanding members rewards for their activities. The trophy for outstanding activity was rewarded Harold Francis during the society’s annual banquet. The society losing a fine leader elected Thomas Cox to carry on. Air races to be held under the member of the society were looked into while other members brought speakers and movies before the society. The Spring Term saw the development of the air race board from out¬ standing members. The society then voted that the air races were to be conducted under the auspices of the Aeronautical Society. The field trip was held through Wright Field, where latest developments in mili¬ tary aircraft were viewed. The trip was conducted by the society’s advisor, Professor Fawrence D. Ely. The society was honored by a visit and talk by the National Aeronautic Governor, George W. Haskins. A greater number of the members received awards at the annual banquet than ever before, thus proving the increasing popularity of the Aero¬ nautical Engineering Society.

Garnett ne cermet Before the fall term of 193 5 there was little other than an occasional banquet to draw the students registered in Chemical Engineering togeth¬ er. Realizing the need of a society to bring the Chemicals” together in fellowship and to bring the practical aspects of engineering before the students, a group of embryo chemists with the aid of the professors dur¬ ing this term, started the organization of the Chemical Engineering So¬ ciety of Tri-State College. During this term and the winter and spring terms of 1936, the society gradually expanded and so became more and more a group of benefit to the Chemical Department and to the students themselves. Since its beginning, the Society has been run under a set of unwrit¬ ten laws. During this time a system of fundamental laws was being molded into shape. The officers of the winter term of ’37 saw fit that these laws be catalogued into a written constitution. Thus the society came to be governed by a written document. Students recognized the fact that the society has something tangible to offer them. They realized that taking an active part in the Society would offer an opportunity for executive training, leadership and for securing a better understanding of chemical engineering, which would some day be an asset both personally and in securing a position. The Spring Term marked a new high in the activities of the Chemical Society with over eighty per cent of the enrolled Chemical students participating in the society’s activities. The activities for the spring, representative of a term’s program, consisted in part of regular bi-monthly business meetings with outside speakers, a banquet with its features, and a field trip to Cincinnati. The school year on the whole was the most successful since the inception of the young society. We, of this year’s Chemical Engineering Society, have done our best to bring interesting and useful programs to the groups, and wish the future society organization power in attaining new heights of achievements by providing opportunities for a better understanding of the practice of Chemical Engineering.

Strcmire HONORARY CHEMICAL FRATERNITY This fraternity was founded by the late Dr. Sherrard of Tri-State College several years ago with the idea in mind of creating an incentive for better and more intensive study on the part of the students of chemical engineering. The membership is limited to a maximum of fifteen, this lending to the distinction of the fraternity and creating a greater determination on the part of candidates. The members are looked to as, and expected to be leaders of the entire Chemical Engineering Department and its activities. Thus, one can see that the fraternity admirably fulfills the purpose for which it was originally formed. Forty-two G.C.Mercer R. Ste.men C.Mcktniey Bill, Gerry, and Eddy Van Dien. Chemist Beekley.

Criticism is dangerous because it wounds a man’s precious pride, hurts his sense of im¬ portance, and causes his resentment. When dealing with people let us re¬ member we are not dealing with crea¬ tures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity. Let us speak ill of no man, but rather speak all the good we know of everybody.

OFFICERS SPRING TERM President .Robert Roffee Secretary .. Peter Weiss Treasurer . H. Paul West Fifty IVI n g neev ng When the Engineering Society ceased to function a few years back each school of engineering organized separately. One of the first to do so was the School of Civil Engineering. Today it is one of the most progressive and strongest of the societies on the campus. The founders of the Society determined at the beginning the aims and ideals towards which they desired to reach: Mainly, to bring a closer relationship be¬ tween the classroom and the real engineering field, and to instill a true spirit of fellowship between the individuals of the Society. During the years 1936-1937 the program undertaken was of a purposeful nature and the outcome was a very successful year. Last Fall Term Rolland Gerrard was president, Walter Sleeper secretary, and Wm. Munger treasurer. This successful administration came to a close with a term banquet at which Frederick Kellan, Engineer of Design for the Indiana Highway Department, was present as the guest of honor and speaker. For the Winter Term Wm. Munger succeeded to the presidency, Douglas Krueger became secretary, and Carl Granquist became treas¬ urer. Many new names were added to the membership list; these men carrying on for those who graduated at the end of the Winter Term. Their participation in extra-curricular activities while in school will be an experience they will never regret in the years to follow. For the Spring Term two seniors were elected to hold office: name¬ ly, Robert Roffee as president, and Paul West as treasurer; Peter Weiss became secretary. During this term a new high in membership was at¬ tained; it was a term filled with many important events in which the Civils took a keen interest. Many Civils held enviable position in the Class of 1937. It is with pride when we say J. T. McCormick, president of the Senior Class of 1937, was also a former president of the Civil Society and always an active member. During the latter part of the term the annual field inspection trip was made. It is an honor to make this trip since it is a privilege accorded only by the Board of Di¬ rectors of the College. We believe that more benefit is derived from a tour of inspection than from hours of classroo m instruction. It is with this point in view that a time is set aside for such a tour. With regret we notice quite a number of the older members tak¬ ing leave of us at the end of the Spring Term. May they enter into the world before them with the determination and courage to leave some concrete evidence of their accomplishments in the sands of time. To the younger members who take up the reins: Carry on the ideals and aims which we have always striven for, and all the success, good-luck, and happiness in the world to you. ROBERT T. ROFFEE.

This year, through the effort of our faculty advisor, Professor Summers, the officers, and committees, many speakers of wide experience have addressed the society. Early in October, 1936, the society began the Fall Term with the largest membership it has had for several seasons. Under the capable guidance of Charles Elemenway, as president, the Society presented an attractive program of speakers and entertainment. Dale Latus was our president during the Fall Term, and with the able cooperation of the program director, Lloyd Bond, furnished many evenings of worth while entertainment and informative lectures by speakers from the commercial field of electricity. An occasion to be remembered by all who attended, is the banquet held at the Hotel Hendry. It was an evening of real fellowship and entertainment. The Spring Term included the yearly field trip and this year plans were made to view the steel mills and the Ford plant at Detroit, the dams at Saginaw, and the hydro-electric plant at Grand Rapids, Michi¬ gan. Another feature which has been introduced this term, is the talks given by members of the society, many of whom have traveled exten¬ sively or have been engaged in electrical work before coming to Tri- State. Reviewing the events of the past year, the society may well be proud of a year of accomplishment and interesting activity.

During the three terms of its existence the Radio Engineering So¬ ciety, under its capable faculty advisor, Professor Bert Love, has become one of the most active societies on the campus. It was organized dur¬ ing the Fall Term of ’3 6, with the express purpose of enabling anyone interested in radio to gain useful knowledge in that field, outside of his regular scholastic activities. The society’s first president was William Kunz; second Robert Bailey, and the present president Donald Hannum. The weekly meet¬ ings have been studded with programs of unusual educational value. A field trip to Chicago was sponsored by the society during the Spring Term. It is the sincere hope and belief of those graduating in this class, that the society will grow and flourish in future years. Sixty acu VERNE JONES, A. B., A. M.

Among the highlights of the Fall Term was our basketball team, which won top place in the Inter-Society Basketball League. One of the most interesting lectures of the term was presented by Ralph Wirsh- ing, of the General Motors Corporation. Other companies represented at our meetings were: Allis-Chalmers, Babcock Wilcox, and Hartford Boiler Inspection Insurance Company. The term was rounded off with a banquet a t the Traveler’s Club in the Hotel Hendry. Judge Carlin was the very interesting speaker for the night. The Winter Term got off to a fine start. Later on during the term it was decided to nut on a special drive to build up the treasury. At one of the meetings the society was fortunate in obtaining Professor Moore to speak before the members. He gave a very interesting talk on fuel oils, dealing with their production and uses. The society cooperated in holding the Engineers’ Banquet held February 20, which was revived this year after a lapse of a few vears. The term was brought to fitting close with a banquet at the College Inn. The principal speaker was R. L. Arnold, chief engineer for the Clarage Fan Companv. His talk was mainly about air-conditioning and its many useful applications. Presi¬ dent Handy closed the banquet with a short address. The Spring Term was officially opened with a banquet at the Col¬ lege Inn on April 2nd. The principal speaker of the occasion was W. L. Wirshing, of the research department of General Motors Corporation. His very interesting lecture on plastics was enjoyed by the large number present, including several members of the faculty. One of the many features on the program was a lecture and sound pictures on Diesel Power presented by the International Harvester Company. Other events on the program were lectures given by representatives from Allis Chalmers, Indiana Oil Co., Skinner Engine Co., Ingersoll Rand, and Union Carbide Carbon Co. The field trip to Pittsburgh, one of the longest ever taken by the society, was a huge success. Some of the in¬ teresting places inspected were: The Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co., The Westinghouse Mfg.

The purpose of this society is to benefit and aid the studen ts in the School of Commerce. This benefit is derived through many channels, the most important of which is to bring the students into contact with men of wide experience in the various fields of com¬ merce. Splendid opportunities for experience in executive duties may be gained by holding an office in the organization. A brief history of the past year’s work will facilitate a fuller appreciation of the society’s activities. Webster A. Beard was elected president for the Fall Term. The society’s first social event was a banquet, welcoming Professor Nickolaus, the new accounting teacher, to Tri-State. Fifty members and guests renewed old friendships and made new acquaintances with new students. Professor Nickolaus responded to a suggestion from the president, and gave some of the things he hoped to accomplish while at Tri-State. The banquet was followed by a roller-skating party at Hamilton Fake. President Beard closed the term with a banquet at the College Inn; C. D. Walker and T. Wayne Jones, insurance men, connected with Equitable Life of Iowa, were the principal speakers. They presented in an interest¬ ing manner how insurance developed, and the need for it in the lives and business of the modern business man. The first meeting of the Winter Term was called to order by the new president, Clifford Fredrickson. Nearly fifty young people bucked a snow storm to attend a roller-skating party at the Silver Moon; it was the first activity of the term. Soon after, the society gave a dance at the Armory Hall for all members and their friends. This was attend¬ ed by many dancing enthusiasts. For those who did not dance, cards and other games were available. R. M. Lippincott, retail druggist from the Kratz Drug Company, was the main speaker at the banquet which closed the activities of the Winter Term. The banquet was held at the Hotel Hendry. Mr. Lippincott discussed the merits and practices of chain and independent drug stores. Ernest Woodhouse was elected president for the Spring Term. To assist him were John A. Scott, vice-president: Berdina Steffe, secre¬ tary, and Lawrence J. Nataline, treasurer. A roller-skating party held at the Silver Moon was the first activity of the Spring Term. At pres¬ ent President Woodhouse is completing plans for the annual inspection trip of the Commercial School to Chicago. This should prove a very interesting and beneficial trip to everyone involved. After winning the basketball tournament at Tri-State the boys once again are to try to gain the honors in baseball. A very prospective team is in progress and without a doubt they will have a successful season. Although the society is only in its fourth year of active work, it has gained wide recognition and reputation on the campus. The mem¬ bers are constantly striving for a bigger and better society.

The Inter-Society Council for the current year carried out its duties with the utmost success. The council successfully revived an event which held much interest in former years. Pressed with its various duties for which the council was formed a great deal of time could not be devoted to social functions. But in their place the old fashioned engineers banquet was inaugurated anew. The banquet was held on the nearest Saturday previous to Washing¬ ton’s birthday. The banquet was an overwhelming success and shall be re¬ membered by all those who attended as the greatest event of recent years. Many alumni attended and their discussions of problems in their respective fields were gratefully appreciated by all students present. The banquet will be continued next year at the same date. The deepest thanks are in order for all members of the Inter- Society Council for their assistance in making the council one of the most successful organizations on the campus.

Membership in the Glee Club is open to all students who can qualify. The first year this number was small, numbering twelve or thirteen. But the club has steadily grown in membership and ability until at the present time the enrollment is thirty-four voices, and the body is known as one of the foremost glee clubs in northern Indiana. This year has been the best in the history of the Glee Club. Their activities included four concerts in northern Ohio and five in southern Michigan. A broadcast was also given over Westinghouse WOWO in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and the annual concert in the college auditorium was a star event. During the past three years the club has twice won the first prize in the Northern Indiana Eisteddfod. $ Most of the members return to college next year, and plans are being made for more and finer work. The club expects to enter the Ohio Eisteddfod at Lima, Ohio, next winter. Congratulations are de¬ served by Professor Harshman who has made this fine work possible. R. Kitchen, G. Whitney, M.

Eighty l It has been said that the Tri-State College Dramatic Club was built from blue print plans. A well defined purpose and aim, successful pro¬ ductions and the careful selection of the best in dramatic entertainment for presentation before the student body has placed the organization among the foremost college acting and production groups in the state. The installation of a dramatic honorary fraternity, Alpha Psi Omega, on the campus bears out the fact, that as a certain medium of expression, the engineering or commerce student may find in the study of college drama an outlet for artistic expression and a worthy use for leisure time. While Alpha Omega, Zeta Psi cast is active on the campus it will in no way attempt to take the place of the Dramatic Club. It is now sound and is strictly an honor organization. Prof. Charles Edwin Shank is the club director. He is ably assisted by an executive committee of which the members are this year: Elwin Miller, William Munger and Harry Harvey. Dicken’s A Christmas Carol” was presented at Christmas Chapel. Benson’s The Upper Room” was given. The fall production was Miller’s The Charm School.” Gilbert and Sullivan’s Creatures of Impulse” was rehearsed for the annual spring tour and was played in Fort Wayne, Auburn, La- Grange, Waterloo and Howe, Indiana. The club has made for itself an enviable place on the campus, and is more than able to prove its reason for existence.

F. Opp for the purpose of providing a reward for students distinguish¬ ing themselves in college drama tic work. Alpha Psi Omega is the largest honor society in college dramatics, having 140 chapters, in the United States and Canada. The Zeta Phi Chapter was installed at Tri-State College, April 4, 1937. Nationally and internationally Alpha Psi Omega provides a wider fellowship for college directors and students interested in promoting college dramatic activities. To be eligible for membership, the student must do outstanding work in a certain number of major or minor roles, or do an equivalent amount of work in directing, stage work, or business management. The aim of Alpha Psi Omega is to develop an active and intelligent interest in dramatics among college students and to provide a suitable award for participation in college dramatics by awarding membership in a national collegiate honorary fraternity. Alpha Psi Omega in no way intends to alter at all the present organization of the Dramatics Club here on the campus; it functions purely as an honorary award for active and outstanding participation in the activities of the Dramatic Club over a period of not less than three terms. Alpha Psi Omega stands for the highest standards in the choice of plays well acted and well staged, and believes that the work in dramatics should be placed on a basis where it mav become the most highly es¬ teemed artsistic accomplishment of the college. Toward this end Alpha Psi Omega has sponsored the formation of honor societies in high schools and in the junior colleges, thus encouraging dramatic productions at everv step in the student’s career from the preparatory school to college graduation. A magazine. The Playbill, is published by the Fraternity to assist in the exchange of ideas among the members of the fraternity, and to keep directors and students informed of the progress made in college dramatics. The national president of Alpha Psi Omega is Prof. E. Turner Stump, director of the College Theatre, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio, and Prof. Russel Soeirs. of Colgate Universitv, is the national vice- nresident. Our director of college dramatics, Prof. Charles Edwin Shank is the faculty advisor for the local cast.

Munger, and Secretary-Treasurer John LaClair. T If Those whose pictures surround the charter on the opposite page are the charter members of the Zeta Psi cast at Tri-State College.

The Canadian Club of Tri-State College was founded in January, 1937. The aims of the club were outlined as follows: To welcome new Canadian students, and to help them to become accustomed to their new environment; to be a medium for bringing Canadian students to¬ gether for the discussion of matters of common interest; and to foster goodwill between the United States and Canada. President Handy and Professor Boagey very kindly lent their sup¬ port in the formation of the organization. Professor Boagey, who had worked for several years in Canada, was unanimously elected to the office of club advisor. Although the Canadian Club has been in existence for less than two terms very good progress has been made. At present plans are being made to affiliate with a large organization of Canadian clubs. We close a very successful season with every indica¬ tion that the Canadian club will be even more successful in the future.

Since its foundation it has grown to be a vital part of the campus. It governs the inter-fraternity athletics and organizes functions of a social nature. With the start of the Fall Term of 193 5 the constitution was re¬ vised, changes being made that were found necessary after several months of operation. The council is composed of two members from each of the fraternities on the campus appointed by their chapters. Government is by officers elected by members of the council. The council is prin¬ cipally of an advisory nature, making such recommendations as it deems of importance to the welfare of the fraternities. In the fall of 193 6 the name was changed from Pan-Hellenic to Inter-Fraternity Council. Since the men who compose the council are representatives of their various fraternities, credit for the achievements of this group must go to the fraternities. However, much credit is due the men who have been directly responsible for the attainment of the position of importance the Inter-Fraternity Council now enjoys. The fact that leadership, scholarship, and character should be the dominant factor of the personnel of the fraternities is foremost in the minds of these men who compose the council. This organization with the sup¬ port of the fraternities has succeeded in its aim to promote on the campus a true atmosphere of normal, scholastic, athletic and social de¬ velopment. Since its organization the Inter-Fraternity Council has done much to promote the value of fraternities during college life and thereafter. Each year the council organizes an annual dance for the benefit of both fraternity and non-fraternity men on the campus. These affairs have met with a great degree of success in the past. The Inter-fraternity Baseball League under the guidance of the council has succeeded in its efforts to promote athletics and from this have sprung other forms of athletic competition such as tennis and basketball. This has succeeded in binding the fraternities together more closely for it is universally agreed that friendly and spirited athletic competition forms an atmos¬ phere of cooperation. The Inter-Fraternity Council views with pride its many worth¬ while accomplishments during the year now coming to a close and looks forward to even more successful years to come at Tri-State College.

A constitution and a set of by-laws was drafted and the state was appealed to for a charter and under date of April 10, 1925, Phi Lambda Tau officially came into b eing. From an humble beginning it grew apace and soon took its place with the leading fraternal organizations on the campus which place, with but few variations, it has proudly held to this day. In the year 1929 it was decided to join a national fraternity. This came about through a merger with Alpha Delta Alpha being effected and written into the minutes of the fraternity and finally was officially relegated to History” in the early part of the year 1930. We continued to flourish under the banner of Alpha Delta Alpha until the early part of 193 5, when a national council disbanded the fra¬ ternity. Therefore, in the late spring of 193 5, we petitioned for ac¬ ceptance as a chapter of Alpha Kappa Pi. In September we were ad¬ vised that we had been successful and would be officially installed as Alpha Beta Chapter, November 8 to 10, 193 5. Our beliefs are few enough to enable us to remember them without difficulty and yet be all embracing. We strive, at all times, to see the beauty of the Master’s creations and so carry out the original ideals of brotherhood as intended in His greatest of all fraternities, that the world, through the striving of countless such organizations as ours, may come to realize the inestimable value of brotherly love which is synony¬ mous with and is the very heart of fraternalism. We believe that to honor and obey the vows one pledges is a sacred duty to one’s self respect and to the world at large. It is our earnest prayer that we be granted the ability and also the courage to think right and, so thinking, be loyal to our vows. We believe in the placing of breadth of mind, ability, and character above mere social status and such accidents of birth so remote from our control and over which we could not hope to exercise the power of a non-existent will. It is ever our poliev to aid when and where we can, since this, in itself, constitutes one of the greatest privileges of fraternal life. Fra¬ ternalism would be as naught were one to check so thoroughly gratify¬ ing an impulse. Alpha Kappa Pi is setting an even stronger pace than the two or¬ ganizations which gave their life’s blood to her existence. Her growth has been strong and consistent. We are pleased to state that we have an active membership, at the present time, of nearly forty members, some ten to twelve pledges, and an alumni roll which musters over two hundred, from this chapter. We have twenty-eight active chapters located at many of the leading colleges and universities in the east, south, and middle west, and six active alumni chapters located at such points as Baltimore, Boston, Huntington, W. Va., New York City, Newark, and, lastly but not least, Angola, Ind. mmm Ittfl.Catjkir iU,Stt, aTt ook •36 IO. ffetm la3 Hlac-ia0 HUMm-witr- fitJ,|XTtter.s cal lR,e,IBoffe« .JF.jK CeJReuwe- £,|B, ,3.(S. . lr taplrs iB.

It was the first fraternal organization at that institution following its reorganization in the same year. Originally formed as the Alpha Lamb¬ da Club, it was later decided that the fraternity should become a na¬ tional order, and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Georgia as Alpha Lambda Tau. There was at first an idea that the fraternity would never go north of the Mason-Dixon line, but this was disapproved in the 1927 national convention, at which time a charter was granted to a group at the Uni¬ versity of Illinois. During the past few years, the fraternity has in¬ stalled chapters in Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Colorado and Indiana. There are now 23 active chapters and three alumni chapters, the latter being located in Chicago, Birmingham and Atlanta. Psi Chapter was installed at Tri-State College on June 7, 1936, after a successful petition by the Sigma Mu Sigma National Fraternity, which desired to expand into a larger national organization. A sailing vessel without wind can travel nowhere. It requires a force to move it forward. Without a rudder, however, the ship cannot be directed; and the forces drive it from one place to another—it sel¬ dom reaches its objective. Alpha Lambda Tau was fortunate in having a group of men, such as its founders, who were able to realize this fact. Other men were invited to share the social advantages of the organiza¬ tion and under the leadership of the type of men solicited, the fraternity has risen to a place of prominence on the campus. Alpha Lambda Tau looks upon the future with enthusiastic antici¬ pation. Our ship is being driven by a strong wind, at the wheel are men capable of driving her through any storm. Our one objective to grow and build is ever before us, to make our fraternity large and strong— with this, we too must grow and attain the physical and mental capa¬ city to carry on—and with this feeling of self-confidence and personal ambition we are equipped to face the world. May this enthusiasm never cease and may we continue to grow and build until we have met our objectives. Ninefy-threc Ninety-four Upha Lambda Tau house.

It was the first social fraternity at the Normal school, and during the five successive years flourished as a local organization. In 1923, plans were made for expansion, and when the first national convention was held in June, 1924, three chapters re¬ sponded to the roll call. Since that time other strong local fraternities have become affiliated with Beta Phi Theta. The history of the Delta chapter of Beta Phi Theta dates back to 1922. At that time, a group of men organized The Four Eleven Gang,” their purpose being the promotion of good fellowship. The organization become so successful that they decided to expand in order to afford other students the opportunity of enjoying this relationship. It was at this time that Lambda Phi Epsilon was born. The member¬ ship of this fraternity grew, and recognizing one of the great needs of the students, opened the first fraternity house at Tri-State in 1925. In 1929, when the college recognized fraternities, the members of Lambda Phi Epsilon realized the advantages of national membership, and became Delta Chapter of the Beta Phi Theta Fraternity. Delta Chapter, now in its eighth year of existence at Tri-State, has never lost sight of the ideals of its founders. Those chosen for broth¬ erhood are men who have shown courage, initiative and fortitude before our eyes. This policy of selection has insured lasting life and leadership for our fraternity. The list of brothers, past and present, who have attained leadership in activities and scholarship proves the worth of this policy. The qualities we have sought and found are responsible for the success of Beta Phi Theta on the Tri-State campus, and we are proud to count 1937 as the most successful year the fraternity has ever had. During this year, we became the first fraternity on the campus to possess its own house. More than that, when the opportunity presented itself to acquire an even bigger and better home, the chapter found that its resources permitted this action and it was immediately undertaken. We who are graduating will always cherish the memory of our brothers and what our life here has taught us. We who remain must continue in our leadership, our scholastic standing, and our brotherhood. Delta chapter can boast now, as in the past, of the finest brotherhood on the campus, and so it will remain. Let us so live that our lives will be in harmony with the crest of our fraternity.

L G.M1RO .1 A 9AL.D0 One hundred Back in 1927 the club, Hispano-Americano, started its activities as a private social organization composed totally of Spanish-American students attending Tri-State College. After six years of existence, it was registered under the laws of the State of Indiana as Alpha Chapter of Gamma Eta Alpha Fraternity. Not content with our local success, an active and intensive cam¬ paign was begun; this movement culminated with the fusion to Phi Lambda Alpha Fraternity as the Eta Chapter. This fraternity whose ideals and views were similar to ours, having five chapters solidly estab¬ lished throughout the most important universities of the east, represent¬ ed our goal. Then uniting our efforts with theirs, we carried on our campaign, going from one success to another. On December 26, 1931, during the annual convention held that year in the City of Troy, N. Y., the Phi Lambda Alpha merged with the Sigma Iota Fraternity, another strong Spanish organization with chapters in the south, to form the present Phi Iota Alpha Fraternity of which we are the Iota Chapter. At present Phi Iota Alpha is the strongest Spanish organization in the United States with ten well organized chapters and several new prospects. Our fraternity does not only comprise the United States but it also includes every Latin-American country, each one representing a zone, and the various zones in a body go to make up the Latin-American Union. Our aims are, besides fostering among our members a better sense of duty and study, to create the Latin atmosphere which is an integral part of our far-away homes and to prepare our members to carry out in the future that great ideal of our organization: The political, social and economical union of all the Latin-American countries.” Our next general convention which will be held in the City of New York the month of June, promises another forward step in the realization of our ideals. On December 27, 19 37, we held a National Convention in the City of New Orleans. Our International Convention which will be held in Puerto Rico during June of this year promises another forward step in the realization of our ideals. One hundred one Haul in a typical pose.

From this humble start it has grown into one of the largest social fraternities in the country. On April 17, 1927, Delta Epsilon Chapter was formed and admitted both to the national organ¬ ization and the campus of Tri-State College. We have been known as the Phi Sigs” from that time on with the exception of one year during which we were connected with a smaller national organization. The general belief of most unorganized men is that fraternity pledge life consists only of unnecessary hardships and duties placed upon the pledge. The period of pledgeship however, is of mutual necessity to both the pledges and the fraternity. During this time the pledge is able to judge the ideals and members of the fraternity and the brothers are able to judge the character of the pledge. The basic principle of a fraternity is to promote brotherhood. We uphold this principle but we also keep in mind the main reason for being at college. Our membership consists of men well up in their studies as well as leaders in the social life of the school. Fraternity life tends to educate the members in subjects not taken up at college. Cooperation is a vital essential to any form of enterprise. To survive any fraternity must have the cooperation of all of the members. It is one of our aims to promote cooperation among the members and to instill in each the spirit of the Golden Rule. Our fraternity is built around friendship, comradeship and brother¬ hood. The words courage and perservance are closely linked with the standards set up by the fraternity. If a man has the friendship and com¬ radeship of his fellowmen; then he is well on the road towards having the courage to fight life’s battles. However with this courage must also go perseverance to continue, despite difficulties and hidden barriers, towards the goal which he has set up for himself and has had the courage to strive to attain. We feel that our men are able to face the difficult tasks in life cheerfully and successfully if they follow the three fraternity stand¬ ards. To our graduating brothers we offer our heartiest congratulations and wish them success in all of their future undertakings.

One hundred six ne ewman U D The Newman Club of Tri-State College, an organization of Cath¬ olic students, is a member of the Federation of College Catholic Clubs. The Ne wman Club is an organization with international ramifications and is approved and encouraged by the Supreme Pontiff and the mem¬ bers of the American Hierarchy. The purpose of the Newman Club is to teach the Catholic students how to live. This involves the social and intellectual sides of the various students who compose the club. It brings out to the fullest development every human attribute. This can be found in the motto of the club: Cor ad Cor Loquitur” (heart speaketh to heart) which provides greater friendship among the students. From October of 193 5 till April 1937 the club progressed rap¬ idly. April turned out to be a disastrous month for the club, however, for the Newman Hall caught fire and its members had to evacuate the premises. This was particularly unfortunate because the club had taken great strides forward in the improvement of the interior of the Newman Hall. What was thought to be disaster to the club turned to good fortune for on April 22, 1937, arrangements were made to purchase the property and remodel the house along lines best suited for the purpose of the club members who reside therein. One of the features of the club is a series of talks given by the club chaplain. These are in the form of informal talks upon topics of interest to the members. A communion breakfast is held each term, and guest speakers are invited. It is a practice of the club to have the faculty of Tri-State represented, and also to try to obtain outside speakers. Those who have been of great help to the club and to its progress this year are: Father Hubert, chaplain, Father Andrews, parish priest, and Mr. Kelly, financial advisor. As the club progressed social activities became more frequent and many successful dance parties were held. These parties brought together a great number of students, who enjoyed themselves during the evening. The refreshments served by the club at the termination of each party were highly praised by the guests. As in previous years delegates will be sent to the Ohio Valley Prov¬ ince Convention of the Newman Clubs at Columbus, Ohio, where they will be guests of the chapter of Ohio State University. From the first moment of its conception in the minds of the original founders eleven years ago, the Tri-State chapter of the Newman Club has progressed tremendously to the present time.

One blind red ten pH iinn nil To many of us association with our foreign classmates who have come great distances to this country for an education brings with it the thought that some day we may return these brief visits with those good friends whose sojourn here must of necessity end all too soon. That for some these thoughts will materialize, there is no doubt. The rest, destined to be content with dreams, will leave the traveling to those who are more fortunate, thus never learning for themselves the thrilling experiences which are the birthright of the globe trotter. To forestall this lethargic condition wherein one is content with dreams let us join together, and with our foreign friends as guides, take a cruise on the S. S. Modulus to those lands which we may otherwise never see. The itinerary of such a trip as this is as a rule limited by the factors of time and money. In our case it is neither of these, but rather the space available in these pages which limits our ports of call, elimin¬ ating those but the most interesting. CANADA Although British territory since 1763, Canada still clings tena¬ ciously in many parts of the country to the customs and architectural styling which characterized the old French settlements. This is espe¬ cially true in the province of Quebec where, as late as the year 1837, the descendants of the original French settlers staged a rebellion against the British crown. For this reason, together with the proximity of the United States and its incident influence on industrial and cultural de¬ velopment in Canada, it becomes exceedingly difficult to describe any¬ thing as being typically Canadian. One of Canada’s most important cities is Halifax, capital of the province of Nova Scotia. During the World War nearly one-half the city of Halifax was wrecked by an explosion of munitions on a French steam¬ er following its collision with the Belgian steamer, Imo, in the harbor. The pictures below show ice floes in the entrance to Halifax, which is known as the Northwest Arm. In the background can be seen a tower which was built of stones gathered from every country in the world. One hundred thirteen ms,% BRITISH ISLES Across the North Atlantic, in the British Isles, can be found much of interest which would perhaps escape the casual tourist. Ireland, since its conquest by Henry II in the thirteenth century, has been constantly attempting to regain its independence, hence the appellation of the fighting Irish.” Ireland has a peaceful and beautiful countryside, but despite the contention of loyal sons of Erin, its grass is no greener than in other parts of the world. Scotland, which romantic tales would have one believe is populated solely by kilted bagpipers, has for many years been one of the greatest industrial centers of the British Empire. Shipbuilding, one of Scotland’s major industries, is centered in Glasgow which is a true metropolis. Leading the world in commerce is the British Empire, the center of which is England. The capital, London, which although the largest city in the world, has remained to some extent immune to modernity. Many English phrases and expressions would seem strange to an Amer¬ ican, as note above the sign on the ice cream vendor’s cart in Richmond, a suburb of London. .. � : v ■ HOLLAND The surface of the Netherlands (often called Holland) is flat, 2 5 per cent lying below sea level. This gives rise to a striking physical feature, namely the dikes. A system of national roads connects all the chief towns and cities of the Netherlands. Canals play an important part in the transportation, their united length exceeding 1 500 miles and giving many an inland town a maritime aspect. In striking contrast to the usual picture of Holland with its windmills and wooden shoes are the few below, showing iron ore smelters, the operation of which has given considerable impetus to the industries of Holland. 6 Directly north of Netherl ands lies Norway whose people have been sailors and explorers since the dawn of history. Norway’s climate is salubrious and moderate in spite of its high latitude. The surface is lofty and broken into a series of table-lands, characterized by steep mountains and deep valleys which constitute a scenery that is justly famous. Above are some pictures of this typical Norwegian scenery. r THE CONTINENT Continental Europe is, as it has always been, a conglomeration of varying customs, languages and governments. Its constantly changing political map has, however, failed to erase certain standards which have become accepted as being European.” The two upper photographs are scenes in Brussels, Belgium, one of the few monarchies still in existence. Note the sidewalk cafe which may be found in any continental city. In France, the two sights which the tourist seldom fails to see are the Eiffel Tower in Paris, representative of the nation which is France today, and the palace at Versailles, where for generations before the French Revolution weak and tyrannical kings of France held court each summer. (See illustrations below). France, as do Italy and Spain as well, borders on the Mediterranean Sea. Below is shown some typical Mediterranean Cruise Finers. The picture in the lower right hand corner is that of the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy—which brings the traveler to a country which during the Renaissance in the fifteenth cen¬ tury was the center of all art and learning in Europe—Italy. 1JPT ITALY The chief cities are Naples, famed for its amphitheatrical form inclosing the sea and its magnificent harbor; Venice, with its streets of water or canals, 150 in all; its bridges, about 300 in number, notably the Bridge of Sighs, and its ancient palaces; Florence, with its romantic history, its architectural charm and its treasures of art; Rome, the cap¬ ital, and home of the Roman Catholic Church, the City of Seven Hills, spanning the historic Tiber, with the most impressive cathedral in the world; Palmero and Genoa, the two chief seaports through which flow much of Italy’s commerce, for Italy has in recent years become highly industrialized; and Milan, the metropolis of Northern Italy, wealthy and with a cathedral—the Duomo—second in splendor only to St. Peter’s in Rome. Above are pictured some of the most outstanding examples of Italian art in existence, the beautiful and world famous cemetery at Genoa. NEW CHINA w The traveler in China is immediately struck by the contrast between old and new. New China has been quick to adopt Western ways and customs, but the mass of people, 450,000,000 of them, continue in their old ways of living, being interested more in earning an average wage of thirty cents per month so that they may have enough to eat than in the changing trends of the times. Typical of New China are two modern universities, Tsing Hua and Sun Yat Sen, the faculties of which are largely graduates of American universities. Below are some campus scenes of Tsing Hua University. Few realize that Shanghai, largest city in China and gateway to Oriental commerce, is the third largest city in the world, its 4,000,000 inhabitants representing the four corners of the earth. Shanghai’s equi¬ valent of the Stock Exchange is the Bund which is located just across the bridge picured below. Nanking Road, cosmopolitan home of im¬ porting and exporting firms (see below) can scarcely be differentiated from streets of many western cities. OLD CHINA Hong Kong, an island off the coast of China in the South China Sea, became British territory in 1841 and is engaged mainly in the exporting of silk and tea. British influence has substituted practical modern archi¬ tecture for the ancient elaborate and ornamental Chinese types. Al¬ though densely populated along the river valleys with numerous towns such as the one pictured above, large areas unfit for agriculture are comparatively uninhabited, but the natural mineral resources in this territory are gradually being developed. Old China is exemplified by the walled city of Peiping, former capital, where is located the ancient palaces of former emperors. Al¬ though a city of over a million inhabitants, Peiping still clings to ancient customs and little or no western architecture is in evidence. Typical of Chinese sculpture and architecture are the scenes pictured above. Sev¬ eral of the illustrations are of the Malayan Peninsula. Note the bum boats from which natives dive for coins tossed from steamer decks by tourists. PERSIA Persia, fabled land of mosques and mystery, is located in the south¬ western part of Asia and is bounded by the romantic countries of India, Turkestan, Arabia, and Afghanistan. Despite popular belief, Persia, which occupies a vast plateau with an altitude varying from 4000 to 8000 feet, has a climate which is not always hot but varies over its 628,000 square miles from 15 degrees Fahrenheit in its northernmost latitudes where heavy snowfalls in the mountainous region, tying up transportation, are not uncommon, to the extreme opposite tempera¬ tures of the Torrid Zone which prevails in the south. Persia has recently begun considerable industrial development, chiefly in the realm of oil production and refining. The picture in the upper right hand corner shows the famed Gates of Teheran, entrance to Persia’s capital city. Mohammedanism is the predominating religion, hence the numerous mosques to be found throughout the land. It is interesting to note that the automobile on the ferry, in the picture below, is a Model A Ford. (Continued on Page 127) -... .. mm i ' Whar ya goin Buck. How about a ride? Racer Eikert.

One of the largest islands of this group is Porto Rico, which became United States territory as a result of the Spanish- American War. The principal crop is sugar cane and the principal in¬ dustry is sugar refining.
