1936 Owl COPYRIGHT BY ANNE JUNE ELMER - EDITOR GEORGE W. STRONG - BUSINESS MGR. Published by the Senior Class ? of the University of Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania t FOREWORD We have tried,—we seniors,—to make the 1936 Ow L, —an autobiography of our four years at the University, —but more than that a memorial to the Institution which has anticipated our responsibilities and prepared us to meet them, a tribute to the many fine men and women of the faculty and administration who have guided and inspired us. We hope the pages of our book will be as varied and as rich in interest as have our activities. Although one of the most important aspects of our college career has been our studies, we have not dwelt isolated in an arid academic atmosphere. Working together, playing together,studying together, we have tasted the fruits of success which ripen on the tree of cooperation. May we continue to build together, as we go our separate yet coalescent ways, with the spirit of oneness the university instilled in us. Society has tried competition, let us try cooperation. i a W E H O N O Wc dedicate, to you, Thyrsa Wealthcow Amos, the 1936 Owl. Known nationally as an important figure in the educational world, respected locally as a force in the cultural life of Pittsburgh, you arc most admired and esteemed bv those who know you best,—by us of Pitt,— for your graciousness, your sympathy for and understanding of the difficulties which wc, in our youth and ignorance, have confronted. By wise example and tactful suggestion, you have helped us to form well-adjusted personalities, rounded lives, and true philosophies. Wc are proud of your achievements, of your successes, of the honors deservedly given you, but our affection rests upon a firmer foundation,—your warm humanness. Your kindly influence has pervaded our work and play at the University.

In our four years of living in the world of the University, we have wiped the dust of the past from our eyes and looked with clear, open eyes at the present. Faith and confidence and trust we know arc essential elements in any administration. The officers of our school have inspired these in us. Realizing how easy it is to jump up onto a soap-box and decry what is and nearsightedly declare what should be, we discount unthinking criticism by those who know not whereof they speak. We have continued secure in the knowledge that those who see in detail the needs of us who arc students, that those who are capable of meeting these needs, shall go on doing the best that is possible in this world of trial-and-crror to meet their responsibility.

Bowman Buildings are part of the University. For one thing, they let us get out of the rain. If they are beautiful, they are better than if they are common or ugly. Trees and grass belong at the University. They suggest natural goodness. But, more imporant than buildings or trees or grass, are the lights of character in the faces of students and of teachers. Kindness, friendship, and depth of thought, touched with joy and sorrow calm in the living poetry of life; eagerness that the day unfold the beauty, not of the means, but of the ends, of life- marks of such things upon the faces are the significant architecture of the University. I am proud of much that I see in faces about the University, of the evident growth toward the loveliness and wealth of understanding. Let me congratulate you upon your recording of this life in The Owl. 17 ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS John Gabbert Bowman, M.A., LL.D., Lict.D., Chancellor Samuel Black Liniiart, M.A., D.D., LL.D., Secretary John Weber, M.E., Business Manager and Supervising Engineer Stanton C.

May you through these help to crystallize all the mass of details you have gained both in the classroom and in extra-curricular activities into a practical working basis for your philosophy of life in the years to come. Stanton D. Crawford Dean of the Colley In the College, the constant aim is to help the student find himself, and then develop in mental, moral, and spiritual qualities to the full measure of his individual capacity. This purpose is expressed in recent curricular changes, enabling the student to do more work of a broad cultural nature, and to pursue his studies on a level suited to his ability. As new facilities arc provided in the Cathedral of Learning, he will benefit from an improved program of counselling, from better conditions for both study and rccrcatory reading in the splendid new library, and from better acquaintance with fellow students and members of the faculty. The student, who, by the time he has reached his senior year has learned to think objectively and analytically, who is tolerant of other s view points and cautious about jumping at conclusions, has acquired an asset and a balance that will be invaluable to him forever after. Some acquire it in greater degree than others, but no one who is intelligent can live, work and play with his friends in the University without profiting by the maturing influences of the University environment. Life will require the best you have at all times, but for the able it will be filled with so much of interest that it can never be monotonous. You will soon be depending upon yourself instead of the faculty for guidance. Your mistakes will be costly. But character, education and balance will reduce errors of judgment to a minimum, and make continuous growth and development inevitable. 20 Elmbr A. Holbrook Dean of the School of Engineering and Mines Honesty, loyalty, and courtesy—things change but these must remain. With them, you can go far. Without them, you may prosper but in what really matters you will fail. Power and position- arc these your ambition? You may attain them; we hope you will. But when you have them what will you do with them? We can teach you much about the principles and meaning of business, but how you use what you learn here is for you to decide. The Schools of Engineering and Mines have for more than fifty years developed men to enter the varied engineering professions. Our particular way of training students has been, not only to give them the engineering and professional fundamentals, but to include a broad educational training made possible by our close association with the College and the School of Business Administration of a great university. Thus our graduates have been successful, not only in professional engineering, but in executive positions, in varied lines of business and in promoting the well being of professional, civic and social groups. Most of all, if we can teach the student to understand the modern industrial world, give him an engineering point of view, and hope that he has gathered a common sense outlook on his life and professional development, then we have done our work with him. Charles S. Tippet; Dean of the School of Business Administration 21 This year marks the twenty-eighth anniversary of the founding of a division of the University of Pittsburgh devoted to the offering of university courses in the evenings. Approximately twenty-six hundred men and women have been pursuing studies this year in a wide variety of fields in the Downtown Division. It is really a small university unto itself, where those who arc employed during the day may do their work for a university degree, or may do special and graduate work in particular fields. It is something more than a place where classes meet—it is a university campus, with its social life, its organizations, and its spirit of youth —set down in the midst of the business life of the community. J. Lloyd Mahoney Director of the Downtown Division r It is probable that no college or training school for teachers ever turns out a completed product. At best it serves to short-circuit the long process bv which the hardworking teachers of the pretraining era became known as great teachers. Though we may repeat the popular dictum that great teachers arc born and not made, more serious reflection reveals that these people came into their own after a long period of development. Institutional teacher training is to be considered but the preliminary step, the preliminary time saver to becoming a great teacher. Charles E. Prall Dean of the School of Education 22 The student, who, by the time he has reached his senior year has learned to think objectively and analytically, who is tolerant of other's view-points and cautious about jumping at conclusions, has acquired an asset and a balance that will be invaluable to him forever after. Some acquire it in greater degree than others, hut no one who is intelligent can live, work and play with his friends in the University without profiting by the maturing influences of the University environment. Life will require the best you have at all times, but for the able it will be filled with so much of interest that it can never be monotonous. You will soon be depending upon yourself instead of the faculty for guidance. Your mistakes will be costly. But character, education and balance will reduce errors of judgment to a minimum, and make continuous growth and development inevitable. V'incbnt Wesley Lanfbar Dean of Men Hail and farewell! I like to say that to seniors. It says so simply, We praise you, we prize you, go on enjoying, go on lengthening your life. I like especially the challenge to extend life. I think it was Martial who said centuries ago, The excellent man prolongs his life; to be able to enjoy one's past life is to live twice. Just as the memory of the joys and pleasures of college days prolongs that life, so may the graduate days to come lengthen that life through their enduring satisfactions. So hail and farewell, seniors! 23 Tiiyrsa Wealth low Amos Dean of Women Alumni Association Norman MacLbod, St a«J Vice-PretiJtn Robert R.

Halloci: , Stentary The General Alumni Association is an organization of more than twenty thousand graduates of the various schools of the University. Practically all colleges and universities maintain active alumni associations. It is the hope of our organization that we can provide a significant service, not only to graduates and former students of the University, hut also to undergraduates. In order to accomplish this we arc anxious to carry in our alumni publications and to emphasize in our program of activities timely information about current student affairs. As stated in its constitution, its object is to promote the welfare and interests of the University of Pittsburgh and its alumni, to foster close cooperation between alumni and the University, and to support and advance the cause of higher education ' The Association docs more than that—it provides opportunity for helpful fellowship; it promotes the friendships and associations of student days; as an organization, it safeguards the interests of the University, its faculty, students, and alumni. It is a great, constructive, civic force and every eligible individual should align himself immediately upon graduation. Members of the General Alumni Association automatically become members of the constituent alumni association representing the school from which they were graduated. There arc ten such constituent associations,—College, Engineering and Mines, Business Administration, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Pharmacy, Downtown Division, Education and Graduate Schools, and Alumnae. The General Alumni Association holds only two stated meetings a year. Constituent school associations meet frequently and promote the distinctly professional relationships. The governing body of the General Alumni Association is Alumni Council. This consists of three elected delegates from each of ten constituent associations, elected delegates from qualified Pitt Clubs outside of Allegheny County, and the Don F. Saundbu, Editor The Record and Tbt Alumni Review elected officers of the General Alumni Association. Alumni Council divides itself into the following committees: Executive, Finance, Program, Publications, Alumni Headquarters, Membership, Relations with Constituent Associations and Clubs, Relation with Undergraduates, New Students, Aims and Objects, and Publicity. In populous centers Pitt Clubs arc chartered by Alumni Council to hold regular meetings and to foster and perpetuate an interest in University affairs. The oldest of these Clubs was formed in 1914. Clubs arc now active or arc in the process of organization in Westmoreland County, Erie, Harrisburg, Conncllsvillc, Lehigh Valiev, Lackawanna County, Philadelphia, Newark, N. J., New York City, Youngstown, Ohio, Chicago, Illinois, and Southern California. The General Alumni Association has two official publications,—The Pittsburgh Record and the Alumni Review. The Record is published four times a year and the Review seven times a year. Both publications arc sent to members in good standing. The Placement Bureau is operated by the secretary's office, to assist in putting alumni in touch with prospective employers. A very effective work nas thus far been done in this connection. Dues in the General Alumni Association arc $3-00 a year, payable July first. These dues include a year's subscription to the Pittsburgh Record and the Alumni Review; membership in one constituent school association (and to a Pitt Club if the alumnus lives in a Club territory), and all the general and special services mentioned. Above all, the payment of the annual dues aligns the alumnus with the organization which keeps him a member of the University body as long as he remains in good standing. For further information regarding the General Alumni Association or its activities, address the secretary, 1301 Cathedral of Learning. 25 Wc step forward to receive our degrees, the tangible symbols of our four years of work, our four years of maturation and development. Wc cannot resist, nor do wc wish to resist, taking a backward glance through the kaleidoscope of flashing colors of what has been. Fresh quiet hours spent in the hush of marble libraries. Fresh green moments of walking with friends along grass-bordered walks, up stairs worn by the feet of those who have gone before us. The rich gold and scarlet minutes of sharing the companionship of the University's great. The bright orange and purple of active hours, debating, acting, writing, watching track meets, cheering football squads. Peaceful azure moments lazed away before the Heinz House fireplace, sharing thoughts and experiences with fellow-students. Nor can we, as we reach for the sheepskins, escape a glimpse into the future. We watch the rainbow of school activities blend into the sharp black and glaring white of the reality that is the larger life of the city, as we assign a place and a significance to our little lives in the entity that is society of today. 26 Book II SENIORS ■ I p 1 1 T T S B U R G H ABEL, AGNES H.

Wilfcinsburg High School Business Administration Sigma Gamma Epsilon t 67 68 School of Dentistry Unprecedented advances have been made in dental education during the past decade, culminating in the formulation of a new curriculum, which has been approved by all the dental schools of the United States and Canada. Two years of college credits will be required for entrance, and the dental curriculum will be four years in length. An entering class on the new curriculum was admitted to the School of Dentistry in 1935. Beginning with the year 1936-1937 the new curriculum will be in operation for the two lower classes and as much of the new work as possible will be incorporated in the present curriculum of the two upper classes during the year. 70 Dr. H. Edmund Friesele Dean of the School of Dentistry Besides having a distinguished record of active professional service Dean Friesell was one of the founders of the American College of Dentists. He has been president and an active member of many dental associations, during which time his contributions to professional periodicals and the field of research has been great. At the present time he is chairman of the Dental Index Bureau which recently has completed a listing of all English periodical literature in that field. It is through his work and interest that the University of Pittsburgh Dental School has reached its present status in this country. 71 P 1 T T S b U R G H ADONIZIO. JOHN C.

It was first organized in May 1925, to bring about a closer relationship between students and faculty members and to encourage a spirit of cooperation between these two groups. The membership now includes two representatives elected to Council from each class, representative officers from the Senior, Junior, Pre-Junior, and Pre-Sophomore classes, and five faculty advisors appointed by the Dean of the School of Dentistry. 76 Dental Interfraternity Council Frtnt Rou: linjcclskirecr.

While entertaining the council members at regular monthly meetings at different fraternities, the group discusses the promotion of interfraternity competition in basketball, bridge, and mushball. In more serious moments, it regulates and formulates rules for the rushing and pledging of new members. The annual dance is of considerable aid in achieving the purpose of the organization. . . . to stimulate harmony among the fraternities under its jurisdiction. 77 Alpha Omega OFFICERS Dr. A. I.

It was formed by the consolidation of the Ramach Fraternity founded at the Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery in 1906, and the Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity founded at the University of Maryland in 1907. In the fall of 1920, the Odons Club, dental organization on the Pitt campus, became the Omicron chapter of Alpha Omega. The intention of the fraternity is to foster social recreation, to spur professional and intellectual achievement, and to make college dental training a significant force in the lives of the graduates. Since its organization. Alpha Omega has grown steadily until today, with its many undergraduate and alumni chapters, it is international in scope. 78 ALPHA a OMEGA Ralph.

The aim of the fraternity is to keep high the standards of dentistry by inculcating in the minds of dental students and of dental practitioners a spirit of fraternal cooperation towards scientific, ethical, and professional progress. Sigma chapter, local Pitt group, was founded February 5, 1903, with twelve charter members. Since then it has grown rapidly until today, mainly by keeping its members in touch with practicing dentists, it ranks high in the professional world. 80 J iuer$ity 0f Pitts' i a siGmfi 81 Psi Omega OFFICERS Daniel M.

The fraternity aims to promote the social qualities and abilities of its members; it exerts its influence toward the general advancement of the dental profession. Nu chapter, established in 1897, has the distinction of being among the oldest of the dental fraternities on the Pitt campus; it numbers among its alumni twenty-seven members of the faculty of the School of Dentistry. At the present time there arc thirty-five active and sixty-one alumni chapters of Psi Omega in the United States. 82 ‘LMiiLB .

Its founding anticipated college prerequisite for licensure to function as a pharmacist by almost an entire generation. In 1896 during the chancellorship of the late Dr. William J. Holland the Pittsburgh College of Pharmacy became through affiliation the School of Pharmacy of the Western University of Pennsylvania, and in 1908 of the University of Pittsburgh. In 1908 the Scio College of Pharmacy merged with the school. From an abridged and intensive two year course (Graduate in Pharmacy) requirements were consistently increased until in 1930 a standard four year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy was adopted. 86 C. Leonard O’Connell Dean of the School of Pharmacy To the members of the graduation class may I not extend greetings and felicitations. Through a period of four college years you have undergone a course of study designed not only to provide an adequate background for efficient functioning in your field but also one designed to have builded within you a pattern of thought and action leading toward self discipline. If you have caught the idea that “education is life” rather than the idea that one is educated for life it may well be that you may catch the added notion that education broadly considered is a continuous process that should go on and on as long as one has the power of rational thinking. May I not wish for you the ability to face your life's problem with courage and the purpose to recognize that success in life-may safely be measured in terms of how well one adapts onesself to his potentiality and opportunities. 87 BAIERS, FRANK J.

We cannot prophesy the future. We can and do pay tribute to these young men and young women, who in the sphere of the university have given of themselves, of their work, of their time, of their effort, and of their personalities, to enrich the University. For their contributions and achievements in the fields of dramatics, administration, journalism, athletics, we thank and congratulate them. 9 RUSSELL CONNOLLY The Senior Award is given under the auspices of Omicron Delta Kappa to the man who is most outstanding in his class. Selected by a committee of faculty and alumni under the chairmanship of the Dean of Men, he is the one who has contributed most to the University in activities, character, leadership, scholarship, personality, and service. The material part of the award consists of having recipient's name placed on a stone along a Cathedral walk. However, it is the spirit which is important. 94 RUTH ANDERSON To be Senior Queen is the greatest honor that may come to a woman at the University of Pittsburgh. She is chosen each year by the women who know her best, her own classmates, for the contribution she has made by her personality, her character, her academic achievement, her social qualities, and her qualities of leadership in making the University a greater factor in the community. It is she whom the women of the Senior Class consider to be most representative. 95 President Women's Self Government Association, member Student-Faculty Association.

The trend of education in recent years has been toward the application of theory, the exercise of principle. The University of Pittsburgh has particularly emphasized the need for a uniting of the academic studies of the lecture hall, the research of the library, the experiments of the laboratory with the vocational and avocational interests of college students. Prom Trees Gymnasium to the stadium to Heinz House to the Y Hut and down to the Cathedral, eager groups of students gather to work together in special fields. W.A. A. holds a swimming party. Shouts and laughter echo against the tiled walls. Husky chorines shake the Y Hut floor in preparation for the Cap and Gown show. The do re mi's of the Men's Glee Club ring through the lower floors of the Cathedral, while on the 7th floor, the staff of the Pitt News puts the Wednesday issue to bed. On Wednesday evenings, above the Fifth Avenue street lights. Quill members listen to future Byrons and Austens read their work. Race, schools, fraternities arc forgotten, as those with congenial interests plan together, test out the ideas given in the classroom, blend the university into a unified yet heterogenous community in touch with the realities of society as a whole. Book III ACTIVITIES t Student Faculty Association William Harvey The Student Faculty Association was formed in the spring of 1934 when a general campus referendum approved the adoption of the newly formed by-laws to supplant the previous Student Council organization. The Association, as it is at present constituted, includes all those students registered in the College, the Schools of Business Administration, Dentistry, Education, Engineering and Mines, and their respective faculty members. The purpose of the Association as expressed in the by-laws is, To provide additional ways by which faculty and students may work together on common problems and through these joint activities enrich further the collective life as well as the life of the individual at the University. The governing body of the Association, which is known as the University Assembly, is composed of forty members—thirty students and ten faculty members. The Assembly is charged with the enforcement of rules and regulations governing undergraduate social affairs, the admission of new organizations, and the regulation of existing organizations and of general campus activities. The Executive Committee, composed of the Chancellor, the Deans of Men and Women, and six students elected by the Assembly, is the centralizing force in the government of the Association. In the Association's first year of organization, no division between men and women representatives was made. This resulted in a situation wherein the women of the University were greatly under-represented. This year a change has been inaugurated which requires that ten of the Assembly seats be reserved to women. Two of the six places on the executive committee are allotted to the women, one of whom must be a Senior woman. This reallotmcnt of representatives both in the Assembly and in the Executive Committee has done much to give the coeds an equal voice in the determination of the policy of the Association. During this, its second year on the campus, the Assembly has endeavored to direct its powers, both executive and legislative, into channels which might lead to a higher realization of the significance of student life. A Men's Council for the purpose of administering affairs pertaining strictly to men students has been organized and will be ready to function next year. An extensive survey of fifth hour classes was made in the hope that they might be reduced to a minimum. Further research has been made into the problems of student transportation rates, a student cafeteria, a student post office, discussion forums, and a news-reel theater. Freshmen customs for men were revived this year under the direction of the S.F.A.; next year the program will be the major undertakingof the Men's Council. The Assembly has been concerned also with clarifying its powers and with delegating authority to various sub-committees. In this, it was guided greatly by the precedent set by the Assembly of the previous year. 110 EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE William Harvey James Nicholas Mr. T. W. Biddle .

Its numerous committees adequately manage its many affairs, from a Cathedral library to housing for out of town students. A very important work is in connection with Freshmen women, for to W.S.G.A. goes the credit for many University traditions—Lantern Night, the Senior Coronation, Women's Day, and customs for the new-comers. Its Leader's Institute is just one of the many opportunities for women to become affiliated with a campus organization, and serves as a means of contacting the women on campus who arc not active. Thus, its real function is one of coordination of all organized activities of women, together with fostering a spirit of loyalty to the University. 112 113 Young Women’s Christian Association Women at the University find in the work of the Young Women's Christian Association an opportunity to enrich their lives through participation in human relation projects, student faculty work, inquiry forums, and social affairs, for all their activity emphasizes the relationship of social, political, and economic factors in the present day religion. From the first month of school, when freshmen arc welcomed by the Y.W.C.A. at the traditional Hearth Ceremony, through the whole year, their program forms a vital part of campus life. The annual retreat, the banquet, and their devotional services arc just three of the events which increase the organization's prestige and usefulness, and helps in the fulfillment of its purpose.

It is the largest and most active organization on campus; furthermore every student who finds the purpose congenial is welcome into membership regardless of race, creed or color. The Y. M. C. A. has no definite program. Whatever its members find helps meet their own needs, interests, and problems, becomes the Y. program. Tncrc arc over forty projects of varied nature. Through this extensive range of activities the Young Men's Christian Association proposes to aid men to discover and accept the full meaning of Christian living. OFFICERS Edwin G.

It has endeavored to create a better spirit of cooperation among the groups, both as friends and as friendly rivals; to help each organization to solve its own problems, internal as well as external, by suggesting remedies proposed in open discussion in the Council meetings themselves; and to sponsor social functions which tend to promote interfraternity goodwill and association. 116 Interfraternity Council Fint Row Friedman, Roscnhloom, Durkin, Andrews, Zinsser.

Their program consists of sports divided according to the seasons, the annual Co-ed Prom a part of the freshmen entertainment, week-ends for the members at Camp Kon-O-Kwec, and their popular W.A.A. Cabaret, which women from all classes arc sure to attend. The fact that most of their activities are informal and not restricted enables them to plan a more widely diversified program, and to arrange it for the convenience of most of its members. This year, swimming hours were arranged at the Y.M.H.A., in order to avoid the long trek up the hill; and when the snow was at its best, their sleigh ride provided novel, never-to-be-forgotten fun. Such an organization, founded with the two-fold purpose of fostering clean sportsmanship and promoting higher physical efficiency, certainly fills its place on the University campus as one of the major organizations for women broad in its scope, and capable of meeting the needs of hundreds of women who find in its activities the real college spirit.

Aid is given to needy students in the College by monev raised by two dances a semester. Several assemblies a year arc also under the supervision of this group. At the first assembly this year Dr. Crawford was presented to the students. 120 Senior Announcements Committee Frtnt Rw: Herald, Hall, Dixon, McLaughlin, Hughes.

C. Mbhl John Montgomery Edward Peterson The Senior Announcements Committee distributes the official class invitations for the Commencement Exercises. Bound in blue silk leather, the announcements contain a picture of the Cathedral on a gold background in addition to the official University seal. A complete list of all those obtain- ing degrees is incorporated into the book along with a list of senior committees and senior week events. This year familiar scenes of the campus arc depicted throughout the book. At the end of these announcements is an official invitation to the graduation ceremonies. 121 122 123 The Pitt News Each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday morning every University student pauses on his way to classes to pick up a copy of the Pitt News. He may snatch a glance at its headlines when the professor isn't looking, he may read at lunch hour the items pertaining to his particular group, or he may carry the paper along until he has been able to give it a thorough going-over. No matter what degree of attention the reader may pay to this official student publication of the University, he is not likely to realize the duties and the pleasures of those whose efforts make the paper possible. From editors to cub reporters, the members of this staff become something of ex-officio members of every activity, club, or group on campus. Their work sometimes becomes a joy, sometimes a grind. But they do it with a will and a persistency; the scope of time spent at their duties would approximate that spent in practice by an athlete who participated in football, basketball, and track. Three days a week they work in their office, gathering and writing up material, reading and headlining copy, and often eating grilled cheese sandwiches. Three other days of the week several members of the staff adjourn to the print shop, where they check proofs, make up pages, and amuse the printers by spilling type. Highlights of the paper's activity the past year include scooping the city with a complete story of the chemistry lab fire, playing host to the Intercollegiate Newspaper Association Convention, sponsoring a highly successful track meet for the benefit of the Olympic Fund, and presenting two style shows and tea dances for wall-bulging crowds of students. The paper this year caused no riots, suffered no suppression, and incurred no one's dismissal from school. Otherwise it ranked among the leading college papers of the country. 124 Charms A. Rucii..

All those Seniors who subscribe to the Owl have their picture and a record of their undergraduate activities listed in our publication. That is why it is a Senior book, for from that section on, the Owl attempts to record in half-tones and print the life of the Campus . . . from the scope of work of the Student-Faculty Association to what transpired at the Freshman Dance. Not only arc formal group pictures and write-ups included, but there arc also side-lights of Spring Festival, of tap days, of reading by candle light during the flood. All these things taken together are meant to help recall in full the entire picture of what life at our University means to the Pitt Student. We have tried this year to instill into our book more than ever before the life and spirit of our school. We have tried to vary the pages and break away from established layouts. Perhaps it seems the same, but then, have you ever tried to sec how many ways there are to arrange a picture, lists of names, a write-up, and maybe a key on a 9 by 12 page? If in later years, you happen to pick up the Owl and glancing through its pages remember from our pictures the fun you had in Chem lab; or the grand time you had at the Junior Prom with the cute blond freshman; or the times you would cut classes in order to sit on Alumni Hall landing just to talk; or the flood and consequent jaunts up and down fourteen floors of the Cathedral . . . then we will feel that the Owl has done just what we wanted it to do. 126 Anne June Elmer..............................Editor George W.

It has been estimated by persons with no authority whatsoever that quite a large number of people have actually laughed at Panther highlights during that time. With all due modesty, we are not the ones to doubt the integrity of these gentlemen. A list of our former contributors stands as pretty good evidence for this assurance. Perhaps the most outstanding of the former Panther contributors is a gentleman by the name of Hervey Allen, author of Anthony Adverse. And he is but one of many who have attained varying degrees of success in the fields of literature, business, advertising, and art. Thus it is with pardonable pride we point out the fact that, contrary to public opinion, not all contributors to college comics are hustled away, at an early age, to sanatoriums. This calls to mind a cer- tain exchange joke which has been making the rounds of the different college magazines. It goes something like this: He: I wrote mother and told her I'm working my way through college by tending bar in a saloon.'' She: “Yeah? And what do you really do? He: “I don't want mom to know it but (in a whisper) I'm really editor of the college comic! The folks whose pictures appear in the accompanying photographs arc here to testify that they are not afraid to let their mothers know they arc members of the Panther staffs. The Panther appeared on the campus ten times during the present scholastic year. Its special issues included the Christmas Number, the Military Ball Number, and the Cap Gown Number. And, may we add that not a single issue was delayed by the flood, which is more than a certain other publication can sav. 128 Russell Connolly Alfred Dixon Philip O'Neill Stewart McAwley Nathan Levith John Downie George Loschiavo ...

The formal debating with various schools in the country was divided this year into three trips one to Washington, another to Penn State, and the third to Ohio, while the wide field of extension debating and discussion before the many clubs of the city and suburbs was by no means a secondary part of the year's program. In actual campus work, the debating association is known for its panel discussions of current questions and for its entertainment of freshmen at the annual Beaux Arts. 130 Men’s Debating Association First Row: Mjrantz, Goldberg, Parrish, Docringcr, Lomas.

Homer Newlon Peter Salvagio Edward Springer Bruce Wood To those students interested in economic, social and political questions the Men's Debating Association affords the opportunity to organize their thinking and to develop effective public speaking ability. Each year the Association selects two or three current controversial problems and various squad members then investigate these problems and prepare adequate expositions of them. Teams then engage in a widely extended debating program before leagues of women voters, business men’s clubs, and many other local organizations; they make a series of intercollegiate forensic tours through the Southern, Eastern, and Middle-Western states. The aim of this Association is not to win decisions but rather to present clearly, forcibly, and persuasively the personal convictions of the debaters. 131 133 Women’s Choral Every year the women of the University troup up to the tenth floor of the Cathedral of Learning to try out for the Women's Choral, one of the oldest and largest women's organizations on the campus. When the many have ken whittled down to the few, there remain about sixty to participate in the concerts in which the organization rakes part. In addition to the annual Home Concert in Carnegie Music Hall, the group sings at the social functions of many of the campus activity groups, and at various churches and clubs, under the direction of Mrs. Robert D.

Many improvements have been accomplished bv the band during the past year. This has been well proven by the praise given to the band by the New York papers in its trip to Fordham. At present the band is guided by Captain D. C. Tredennick and to him must go much of the credit for the rapid rise of the band. Lee M. Lockhart is the present musical director of the band, with the former director. Professor M. S. Rocercto, appointed Director Emeritus.’ One of the outstanding honors paid to the band this year was the banquet tendered by Mr. E. V. Babcock. The year has been featured by numerous concerts and radio programs. At the home concert the band was honored by the presence of Edwin Franko Goldman, the great band leader. Under the present system the band is divided into two groups. Both groups arc available to other organizations of the school at any time their playing is needed. 137 University Orchestra OFFICERS Clyde Cour twright Assistant Manager VIOLIN Fernande Mkrcier Stanis Melendez Norman Stewart Milton Raden Walter Hunchak Robert Flockbn Bernard Hanover Robert Rudolph Walter Brown Theodore Budzelka Ralph Cox Joseph Byrne George Mantzoros William Schmalzried Esther Fenstbrshieb Lillian Finkelstein Harry Goldberg William Reeves Robert Brown William Kunkel Robert Bright BASS Rita Koruzo Bryan Davis Lincoln Sawyer Dorothy Loose Leonard Berkovitz Pomeroy Polevoy PIANO Janet Crosby VIOLA Mary Goodwin CELLO Ray MacIntyre John Arthur CLARINET Frederick Kapff Joseph Siiarbaugh BASSOON Charles Christman John Baker Steve Rodnok Florian Zukas Stanley Ambrose Stella Kaplan Catherine Hallock Marjorie Bandman William Stark Vernon Krahl OBOE Bbrnard Podolsky Morris Block F HORN Robert Van Vooriiies FLUTE Howard Engleman Paul Kormer Denton Beal Charles Anderson TRUMPET Robert Siiarbaugh Edward Teats DRUMS and PERCUSSION Clyde Courtwright TROMBONE George Gehres Robert Matzbn The University Symphony Orchestra aims to stimulate a finer appreciation of instrumental music within the student body and to bring together accomplished musicians.

To become an active member necessitate the participation in a play or in the business or technical activities connected with a production. Points arc given for service in the organization and eight points makes one eligible for a gold key.

Auditorium, November 14,1935- Geo. Kelly’s modern character comedy was choosen as the vehicle through which quite a crowd of campus notables cavorted. The Fisher family attempts to dissuade Amy from marrying Aubrey who is a first class four-flusher if there ever was one. Despite warnings, and advice Amy marries and although forced to live in cramped circumstances remains loyal to her hus- band. After the death of Pa Fisher the newlyweds move in on the rest of the Fisher family. Aubrey living true to character is always meddling in family affairs and causing lots of trouble. His bragging and putting on the dog” results in obtaining a large sum of money for an invention for which Joe Fisner was willing to take a small inadequate amount. Aubrey grows bigger and brags louder. Mrs. Fisher is lamenting, 6od help me now as the curtain falls. 140 Candida CAST (In order of appearance) Rev.

William Kunkel Mr. Burgess............................Charles Blakkr Candida................................ .Louise McKirdy Eugene Marchbanks .................... Marquis Patterson Action takes place in St. Dominick's Parsonage near Victoria Park in the northeast suburbs of London. TIME Act I Autumn, 1898, Morning Act II Afternoon of the same day Act III Late that evening There will be 10 minute intermissions at the end of the first and second acts. George Bernard Shaw's philosophical play, Candida, was popular enough to necessitate two showings at the Pittsburgh Plavhousc, February 19 and 20. An excellent we 11-directed cast convinced us that we were spending a day at St. Dominick's Parsonage in suburban London at the turn of the century instead of an enjoyable evening in a little theater off the boulevard. Shaw contrasts a physically strong, liberal minister embodied with the characteristics of the confident public hero type with a poet is a physical weakling, a coward, but endowed with spiritual understanding. The plot revolves around the decision the minister's wife, Candida, must make when her husband finds that the poet loves her, too. In a crude almost blustering manner the minister forces an issue and Candida decides that she will choose the weaker of the two, which in the end proves to be her husband. Shaw cracks the surface of the public hero and sarcastically shows him to be dependent on a wife who can understanding salve his vanity. This cast deserves praise for the clear understanding of the characters that was necessary to forcefully present Shaw's philosophical theme. 141 142 Cap and Gown AlbbrtJ. Barr John W.

If you forgot to shave or don't have a necktie on, it is forgiven if you mumble, “rehearsal.'' Mr. Biddle, the graduate manager, gets deep furrows in his forehead, and it is impossible to get into his office unless you whisper the magic password, “Cap and Gown.” This year's show possessed an ingenious plot that blcndcJ satire and nuir.or into a pleasing efferves- Busincss and Production cent musical comedy. Radiation from the central theme, that satirized a contemporary old age pension plan, many stabs and cuts were made to chip away the gingerbread that veils present day problems and government policies. It was knitted together with spicy dialogue, an array of hit songs, and colored with “swing dances, so all enjoyed being “Out for the Count. Deserving of mention and credit, but seldom receiving it arc the hard working members of the production and business staffs whose work is essentially necessary for a successful show. Again we pay tribute to the Vichman-Kclly combination, who for the second year have directed and produced a Cap and Gown show worthy of the traditions of the club. To Messrs. Spanos and Saffron goes the glory and credit of being the undergraduates to write the script for a Cap and Gown show in over a decade. Perhaps they will do it again; we hope so. Cast and Chorus John Dowxib Leisurely enjoying breakfast at the Commodore about 1:30 A.M., Saturday, December 7, we joyously doffed our hats to the Freshman class of '39 who had just put over a darn swell dance, jammed the floor with paying customers, and furnished us this tasty breakfast. Closing our eyes, we could still see the bright green of Sylvia Briggs’ dress as she whirled around the room with John Downie, chairman and escort, an expert at both. We could also hear the haunting strains of Art Gile's orchestra floating around the spacious Hotel Schenley ballroom. Glancing around the room, we noticed that the boisterous freshmen for once outnumbered the combined group of upperclass dancers. Finishing our coffee, we arose from our tables go home safely passing through the revolving doors without the usual clink of the cash register ringing in our ears.

The dance was a social success as well as the first Soph Hop to escape the red ink since the ' 'depression years.'' Archie Bley-er's orchestra, who this year won the award as being the most versatile dance band in the country in a contest sponsored by the Dancing Masters of America, played for the merrymakers dancing on the beautiful ballroom of the Twentieth Century Club. Chairman D. C. Schultz, who escorted Helenclaire Goldsberry,wore a rather worried frown, he freely confessed, until his 200th couple came through the door. Then he joyously settled down to having a good time together with the rest of the Soph-hoppers. Favors were combined with programs, each couple receiving a black suede and silver program with a novel revolving keyhole in which to write the exchanged dances. More than one couple agreed, on their way to a downtown restaurant, that it was a swell evening. Hklf.nclairk Goldsberry 14S Sophomore Hop OFFICERS D. C. Schultz.........................

Saturday, January 18, 1936, from the mirrored Hotel Schenlcy ballroom, we suddenly realized that the Junior Prom, the oldest dance tradition on the campus, would be just a memory. A memory of glittering top hats, soft lights, jostling pranksters, and a marked Lombardian dance tempo played by the popular Jack Miles. It will always be a memory of swirling fusia print and tails as pretty Jane Seaton, clinging proudly to the arm of Chairman Bill Schenck, led the grand march at the stroke of midnight. Nor will we soon forget the tall blue top hat over our heads as we passed through the doorway, brightly colored balloons jauntily floating overhead, or the blue and gold compact favors firmly clutched in “the girl's hand. And, dear reader, you may gather by now that what we're really trying to say is that the Junior Prom of 1936 will be a long-remembered event.

Although the dance itself was over at two, we decided to prolong the evening since it was our last big campus dance. The evening was warm . . . warm even for May 22. So we put the top down and rode along with the breeze, Rcva dangling her program in the wind. Both of us were trying hard to keep the spirit of our last dance for just a little-longer. And both of us were trying to forget that it was our last dance. Virginia Sepp 152 Senior Ball Charles Ebert, Jr...... Chairman Ralph Appel.........................

Partly because the girls instead of the boys have to worry, for a change, about selecting the date. But it was especially apropos this year. (Remember ... it was Leap Year!) The scene was the Schcnley Hotel ballroom; the time, February seventh. The leading parts were played by Peg Speer, Senior Class President and Chairman of the dance; Don Hensley, her escort; and Bill LeRoy and his orchestra. We thought it was a darn swell dance, this second annual Heart Hop. The programs were cleverly combined with valentines, and shiny red paper valentines, large and small, were pasted over the mirrors of the ballroom. But not for long . . . they were soon torn down for souvenirs. Balloons tied by cheesecloth to the large center chandelier were dropped, and then pins were very much in evidence. So were the pops of breaking balloons, and sighs of regret accompanying each pop. But a thousand balloons could have been broken, and still the evening would have been an enjoyable one.

No, it wasn't a political rally. It was the annual Interfraternity Bali. Tal Henry and his band were on the stage. . . . Romance was in the air. . . . I had paid for my ticket and we were all set to spend an enjoyable evening. Nor were we disappointed. As we marched past Jane Booth and her escort. Chairman Frank Frederick, they handed Reva a blue and gold double scarf and gave me a leather backed program and memo pad. Then we saw plenty of Greeks because all were there . . . from the Delts to the Theta Chis. Handshaking, good-natured back slapping, and friendly greeting on all sides contributed to the warm congenial atmosphere which pervaded the Ballroom that St. Valentines evening. At the post mortem that we held in Child's Restaurant after the Ball was over, we unanimously agreed that not even the fact that Tal Henry played The Music Goes Round and Round spoiled our fun. The floor was good, there was plenty of dancing room, and there were double favors. Don't you think we should have had an exciting time?

And to walk up 17 floors to a dance was a bit too much. So the ball was held April 22. And, of all places, on the Tech campus. Three bands were in three rooms . . . Carl Eddy in the Girl’s Gvm . . . Fran Eichler in Thistle Hall . . . and Harold Stern in the main Gvm. The decorations, usually rather scarce at campus JEAN Charters dances, were militaristic and patriotic. Flags, cannons, crossed sabres, etc., were seen in profusion. To add to the novelty of the dance, the committee booked a floor show and a very good one at that. Guests sat on the stage of the Tech gym which was bedecked with palms. And the dancers traipsed into a locker room to get their favors . . . handsome silver key chains for the men and silver necklaces for the girls. So about two o'clock crowds began to leave the Tech campus and the Pitt dance. And slowly the 800 couples scattered, still jingling their brand new favors. 158 Military Ball OFFICERS Howard E.

Open only to sorority women and their escorts, the Ball nevertheless attracted one of the largest and most colorful groups of dancers seen at any University affair this year. Beginning at nine and continuing until one o'clock, the toe-tickling music of Carl Eddy, favorite-band of campus merrymakers, flooded the beautiful Urban Room with soft, smooth syncopation. It was about eleven-thirty when the orchestra swung into the Grand March. Leading it were Betty Kelley, Pan-Hellenic Council's social chairman, and Frank Hess, imported for the evening from Carnegie Tech. At the conclusion of the March, double favors were passed out. There were gold compacts decorated with the picture of a Scottie dog for the women, while the men were recipients of zipper key cases in which were placed small dance programs. The favors, the setting, the music, and the dancers themselves, each contributed to the success of the Pan-Hellenic Ball of 1936.

Promptly at nine o'clock, Friday evening, May 1, 1936, the early arrivals glided around Lover's Lane (the Hotel Schen-lcy Ballroom) to the soothing music of Todd Rollin's famed Columbia Broadcasting Orchestra. Chairman Bob Mease, called away on an important business trip, set a precedent for future Chairmen bv not attending the dance. In his absence, the guests were greeted by Business Manager Harvey Goldstein and his charming escort, Betty Rosenficld. The cds, from the soles of their white shoes to the tops of their colorful spring neckties, and the coeds, dressed in their tricky spring ensembles, formed a picture of Youth, the memory of which will not soon be forgotten.

But this abstinence by the Rain God was not the only distinguishing feature of the Festival. The inauguration of a Carnival proved to be the most successful and popular event of the week. The Festival opened with its first event, an afternoon tea dance, on Wednesday afternoon, April 29. The tea dance was held in the beautiful Georgian Room of Hotel Webster Hall and boasted the music of Ches Walters and his popular band. That evening, the University Band presented its annual home concert in Carnegie Music Hall and had as its guest conductor, the famous New York bandmaster, Edward Franko Goldman. Thursday afternoon offered the Interfraternity track meet which was held on the Stadium cindcrpaths. Kappa Sigma, with its highly-touted track team had no trouble pacing the field finishing nearly 20 points ahead of its nearest rival, Phi Kappa. The Carnival, mentioned above, took place Thursday evening. Tap Day, always the most colorful assembly of the year, had a perfect setting Friday morning. Held outdoors under a boiling sun, it was attended by more than 1,300 students, and contained all the elements of suspense and surprises calculated to sustain interest to the very end. E. A. Holbrook, Dean of the School of Engineering, delivered the main address at the assembly. The Interfraternity sweep-stakes offered its usual quota of thrills and chills as Roberta Nern the pushomobiles of the various entrants traversed the campus Friday afternoon. The Float Parade, another annual feature of the Festival, had as its theme this year the interpretation of nursery rhymes. The Sports Dance Friday night was in keeping with the rest of the Festival. Held at the Hotel Schcnlcy, it was well attended bv a large portion of the student body including most of the new tappccs. Todd Rollins and his Columbia Broadcasting Orchestra supplied the music. An athletic Saturday afternoon, in which Pitt tangled in a track meet with Notre Dame and staged an exhibition scrub-varsity football game, brought the Festival to a glorious finish. 164 Spring Festival Week COMMITTEE CHAIRMEN Charlbs Allcroft..................................General Chairman Roberta Nbrn._.......................................Coed Chairman Charles Kbbnoy...................................Business Manager Ben Baskin......................................Publicity Jambs Ballantynb.................................Tap Day William Housbl.__.............................Sweepstakes Roy Heckler.........................................Men's Athletics Elizabeth Black.........................Sport's Tea Dance Margaret Lbwis .................................Carnival Chairman Margaret Speer.............................Float Parade David Racusin..................

Because Pitt is an urban institution they are small social units which give training to an individual girl and offer her the give and take of small, intimate group life, enriching and broadening the friendships of those who are chosen to membership. Without fraternities there would be some girls who would have no way of knowing something of the real meaning of college life, something of its richness outside of the classroom. A fraternity not only is an integral part of college life to many during their four years at school, but through associations afterwards it helps to revive pleasant memories of the past. 168 169 On February 15, 1920, Sorosis, a group which was organized on the University of Pittsburgh campus in 1916, affiliated with Alpha Delta Pi. The national organization was founded at Wesleyan Female College in Macon, Georgia, with the purple violet as its flower and blue and white its colors. Not only docs it propose to establish sincere friendship during college years but also to continue group interest in later life.

No longer does the general public think of them as destructive forces in the peace of citizens and pledges, but as an association of adults of congenial tastes and similar ideals of ethics and conduct. The day of destructive pranks and preconceived programs for wearing down the unsuspecting pledges is now something of the past. Pledge-ship has become a testing ground for the sportsmanship and adaptability of the young hopefuls instead of a period of obligation and hardship. The sage fathers of fratcrnalism have gone so far as to experiment with the abolition of Hell Week and have made various recommendations to accomplish this end. Fraternities have as their chief purpose the creation of a socially pleasant background and a spirit of true friendship in order to help a person overcome objectionable character traits and to improve those traits which arc the most favorable. Above all, by stressing loyalty and substantial intellectual progress at the University, the fraternities as a group aid the individual to succeed in the fullest measure in achieving those purposes for which he has come to the University. 184 185 Delta Tau Delta Delta Tau Delta, which now boasts 74 chapters, was founded at Bethany College, West Virginia, in 1859- In 1914, Alpha Alpha, a local Pitt fraternity was incorporated as the Gamma Sigma chapter under the purple, white, and gold Dclt colors. The Rainbow is published under the supervision of the national organization. The fraternity aims to promote a salutary influence on the intellectual training received at the University.

When an honorary group reaches this stage, it has reached its horizon. This, however, is hardly an adequate discription of an honorary; rather, it is an ideal that should at least influence, perhaps even inspire, the student of the non-key-chasing variety. The scope of fraternal groups of this kind at the University is wide, ranging from Druids and Cwcns, national activity groups for sophomores, to the Mortar Board and O.D.K. combinations for juniors and seniors. Between these two comes a host of national and local fraternities in the particular professional fields, based primarily on academic, rather than social or extra-curricular achievement. Through them, contacts are made with leaders in the respective field. Friendships develop, and in this, the fraternity achieves its most important function. Fraternities of this kind will always play an important role in the University four-act production. . . . 200 201 Mortar Board Mortar Board, national senior women s honorary fraternity, recognizes those women who have best served the University in the first three years of their college career. This recognition is based on leadership in the student body, scholarship, and their general attitude which makes them truly representative as the school's outstanding women. Besides promoting friendship among its members, Mortar Board as a unit encourages participation and interest in activities. Frtnt Rfie: Chalmers. Speer, Seitz, Nern. Marsh. Hall. S«� nJ R� u Lewis.

In this respect, the past year of 1935-36 has truly been a period of growth. It was not that Pitt football teams won more games, or that Dr. Carlson's cage teams dropped in more field goals, or that the track-men broke more records than in previous years. But like construction on the Cathedral, Pitt athletic teams have passed through a period of development. No less than 22 Sophomores crashed through their first year of varsity competition in championship style; five sophomores played in every varsity basketball game; Bennett, Woodruff, and Cooper showed championship track possibilities in their initial tests; Tom Locke, another sophomore was the sensation of the swimming season; the frosh boxers were the best crop in history; Ralph Bald threatened Bob Madden’s tennis reign; and Sophomore Frank Souchak teed off with the longest drives on the golf books. The period has been one of experimentation, instruction, and building. When even the coaches admit the future looks bright, the slogan is one of “Just keep an eye on them next year. . . .'' 220 Book IV ATHLETICS Athletic Council W.

Sutherland Along with the graduation of ten regulars from the squad of 1934 the erv went up that the 1935 season could he nothing hut a disaster. Indeed things did look rather gloomy as Dr. John B. Sutherland gathered the remains of the graduation riddled squad at Camp Hamilton for two weeks of conditioning. The squad was as inexperienced as any Panther squad that ever trained at camp. In fact there were barely enough old hands around to instruct the freshman in the fine art of rowing a bench across the valley. Forgetting inexperience and seasoning which they lacked the Panthers went through a ten game schedule and won seven games, lost one, and tied two. September 28—Pitt 14; Waynesburg 0 They were determined Ycllowjackets that swarmed into the Stadium for the opening game. So determined were they that the Panther backs were stopped within one-yard of the goal-line. The Panthers scored the first touchdown in the second quarter and another in the third quarter. October 5—Pitt 35; Washington Jefferson 0 The showing the Panthers made in this game was good enough to send some of the pessimists home a little more optimistic about the Panther's chances during the rest of the season. As the score indicates the Panthers scored often enough to indicate that there was plenty of power to the attack. The fact that W-J advanced tnc ball but once past mid-field shows that the team knew something about how to stop the other fellow. October 12—Pin 24; West Virginia 6 Clever deception on the part of the Panther backs was an important factor in the scoring of the 24 point victory. West Virginia scored the same number of first downs as the Panthers but the winners piled up more than three times as much yardage as the Mountaineers. West Virginia errors in the last quarter gave Pitt two scoring opportunities. October 19—Pin 6; Notre Dame 9 Hub Randour opened the show which was evidently written for Shakespeare with a 62-yard run. This brought the ball deep enough into Notre Dame s territory to enable Patrick to take a chance on a field goal after three plays had been halted by Irish tacklcrs. The attempt for the field goal was wide. The Panthers finally had 6 points gracing the score board after a punt had been blocked deep in the Notre Dame territory. An unruly punt came twisting and bouncing back to the spot from which it was kicked to give the 225 Irish an opportunity to score 6 points for their side. The score stood at 6-6 until the last two minutes of the game. With only two minutes to go Peters dropped back to try for a field-goal. The ball was far enough back and at an angle large enough to give the Panthers the idea that they would be putting the ball in play on the 20-yard line with the score still tied. However Peters had other ideas; the kick was good for three points and enough to give the Irish a three point victory. October 26—Pitt 9; Penn State 0 The Nittany Lions roared and fought and clawed at the Panthers throughout the four quarters of the game. In the first period the Panther attack was stopped on the four-yard line. On another occasion the closest the Panthers could get to the Lion goal-line was the 3- Here they decided that the best strategy would be to have Patrick try aplaccmcnt. The play was right for the Panthers on the play gained a three point lead. The Panther scored their touchdown after a fifty yard drive. Shcdlosky and Patrick taking turns at the ball carrying duties. Patrick finally pluugcd the ball across from the one-yard line. November 2—Pitt 0; Fordham 0 From the spectators point of view the Panther-Ram game was about as exciting as a game of solitaire. Neither team made a serious threat to score. Fordham reached the Pitt 18-yard line on one occasion. To keen invasions even the Panthers marched the ball to tnc Fordham 20. The tic marked the first time that Pitt has been held scoreless since 1928. November 9—Pitt 29; Army 6 The color and thrills that were missing in the Fordham game were shown in a spectacular manner as the Panthers clashed with the Cadets. The entire Cadet Corps cheered their team in vain as the Panthers were scoring almost at will. For once during the season the passers on the Panther squad were finding the receivers. Forward passing gave the Panthers one touchdown and advanced the ball in position to score two others. November 16—Pitt 6; Nebraska 0 After Lloyd Cardwell took the kick-off on a dead run and ran until Larue stopped him, Nebraska did not threaten until the last few seconds of the game. The exceptionally long-distance punting by Francis, Nebraska fullback, and Stapulis, Pitt Sophomore was the best seen in the Stadium all season. Stapulis sent one kick from his own goal-line to the Nebraska 30. November 28 --Pitt 0; Carnegie 0 It was a sad and sorry eleven that limped ofT the Stadium field after four furious quarters against the Tartans. The Panthers out-first-downed the Tech team 13 to 2 and gained 262 yards to Techs 64, they were not able to get the yardage when yards meant points. An attempt for a field foal proved to be the Panthers only real scoring opportunity. Captain Nick Kliskcv was one big reason why the Tartans gained no more than 64 yards. His defensive play stopped Tartan runners at the line time and time again. December 14 Pitt 12; Southern Camiornia 7 Soon after the game opened Souchak intercepted a pass and advanced the ball 35-yards. There he iateralcd toGlassford. After two attempts Randour placed the ball inches from the Trojan goal-line. Patrick stumbled over the line for the score on the next plav. The Panthers put on their finest offensive drive of the year. An 81-vard drive on eight consecutive plays brought the second touchdown. The line stopped five Trojans thrusts within the three yard line. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL The Freshman football team won three games and lost two during the 1935 season. They lost one game to Tech's plcbcs 3 to 0, and another to Kiski, 12 to 6. The Panthers won their ncxr three games with Penn State, West Virginia and The Navy B team as foes bv decisive margins. 226 Manager S. McAwley Manager J. Rodgers 227 Varsity Basketball Da. Carlson Giving an electric light exhibition of basketball, which is on'' at times and ofT” at times, the Panther varsity cage team swept through the 1935-36 season playing the longest season since 1931, 27 games, and losing their three-year hold on the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball Conference title to their rivals across the hollow, Carnegie Tech. Of the 27 games, 18 had a Carlson smile ringed around them while nine had the largest number of points on the wrong side of the box-score. After a slow conference start, which saw games dropped to Tech and Georgetown, the Carlson men suddenly came to life and dribbled out seven successive league victories which placed them in the number one position in the standings. Then, those pesky Mountaineers of West Virginia, in the last game of the season, threw the race into a Panther-Tartan tic by nosing out the Pitt boys down in Morgantown, 43-42. In the play-off game at the Stadium, the Panthers, playing their 27th game of the season, wilted in the second half to a determined Tech rally and with the 32-27 victory gave the Tartans the conference title, the first time the championship has been out of the Panthers’ possession. At the close of the season, the Pitt boys entered the Olympic play-offs in Philadelphia, adding two more games to an already long schedule. The Cats won the first of their Olympic games, defeating the St.Johns five of Annapolis, 29-21, but in the district final, the Temple Owls put whatever Berlin-bound ideas the Panthers may have had to a stop with a 41-37 triumph. In all, the Blue and Gold five took 19 of the 29 games played during the season. At the beginning of the season, the Panthers looked as though they might have had another conference winner and a possible national title contender. The first third of the season found them winning eight out of ten games while making two strenuous tours, one through the west and the other down south. The western jaunt showed a net return of two wins and one loss while the Christmas southern tour had the Panthers in their best form of the season, taking five of six games played with the cream of the southern cage crop. Back north once more, the Panthers really did begin to give the electric light exhibition of basketball. Three straight games were dropped by the Carlsonitcs, two of them to conference rivals. From here until the end of the season, the Panthers played on and off” basketball. Highlights of the year were topped by the Panther comeback triumph over the widely heralded miracle team, Davies' Duquesne Dukes, 46-41. At the half in this game the Cats trailed the Duke Powerhouse by nine points, 25-16, but after the ice cream intermission, the Pitt team caught on fire. With Pete Noon and Bob Johnson as the sparks, the Panthers scored 16 straight points to rake a ten-point lead over the astounded boys from the Bluff, and finally wind up with a five point victory over the Dukes. Throughout the season, Coach Carlson made good use of his ten varsity players. The usual starting lineup had Bill Jesko, 1936-37 captain-elect, and Frank Loucks at the forwards, with Pete Noon on the center job. Bob Johnson and Ed Spotovich were the guards. On the other five, which Carlson used as much as the first lineup. Captain Ted Roderick, high-scorer on the team, and Myles Zclcznick teamed at forwards, Joe Garcia at center, and Mike Radvansky and Luke Rowe bringing up the rear with their guard posts. Of the ten men, only Roderick and Noon will be lost in Carlson's build-up of next year's cage team. 22S 6 - 229 Track Coach Carl Olson In this 12th Olympic year of track, flashing Pitt spikes have been cutting deep gashes in smooth cindered tracks. It has been extremely rare for a Pitt track team to be engaged in such desperate activity and perhaps the most logical explanation would center about the fiery mentor of the Panther runners and jumpers, Mr. Carl Olson, formerly of Gary, Indiana. It has not been so long that the short squat track coach strode into the Stadium office and took over the reins, in fact he spent the 1st Olympic year with his Indiana squad. Today, however, he can look back over the records of the past three years, compare notes with the present listings anil definitely see the rapid strides forward that have been taken in that three year period. During the past indoor campaign the mile relay team, although finishing second in first class competition was on par with the consistently fine quartets of the past few years. Art Thomas, Jack McConnell, Charles Groat, and Harold Conncllv comprised a quartet of quarter-milers that pushed Manhattan to a new world record at the annual I.C.4A. championships. At this same meet Art Thomas out-stepped a speedy field to win first place in the 50-yard race to garner the Panther s onlv first place. At the C.I.C. Championships Pitt dropped the title to Notre Dame's well-balanced squad, but showed up well in several departments. Thomas again came through with an individual triumph, scoring a first place in the quarter. The relay team finished in a tic with Notre Dame. Pete Bennett climbed into second place in the high jump. Harold Tost, Andrew Lasky, and Robert (ferrety accounted for the remaining points in the Panther total. Altogether the rclav competed in four national events, the Butler relays, Millrosc Games, N.A. A.U. meet, I.C.4A. meet in addition to the C.I.C. Championships. As usual the Pitt athletes dominated the A.M.A. indoor championships, copping virtually in all departments with the exception of the high and broad jumps. Lewis of the Rankin A.C. was the only runner who scored against the Panther team. In the Pitt News Olympic fund benefit track and field championships, February 15, $150 was raised as the Pitt donation to the American team fund. At this meet seven records were broken. In the first meet of the out-door campaign, the Panthers continued to show their dominance over the two-ring Temple show of Peacock and Thread-gill to score their fourth successive victory 77-58. Gene Taano, finnish-stylist in the javelin, stamped himself as an outstanding prospect for the Olympic Team by heaving the spear 202 feet, four inches in his only attempt of the afternoon. Pete Bennett tied the Owl's famed Thrcadgill in the high jump to register quite an upset. Taano and Bennett arc perhaps Pitt’s outstanding candidates for the American Olympic Team in the Games this summer in Berlin. Art Thomas is another boy who might possibly just slip in there before the trials arc over as might Charles Groat, Harold Connelly, or several others. Outstanding in the freshman ranks arc: Glenn Cooper, sprinter and hurdler, Ken Ryden, hurdler, John Woodruff, middle-distance runner. Charles Perrsons looks like a possible dccathalon contender, possessing the necessary running, jumping and weight throwing abilities. These four should continue to improve in the future. In the I.C.4A. championships at California last summer Charles Gongloff, past February graduate, cracked the Intercollegiate javelin record with a heave of 221 feet, four inches to cop the event and hang up the best American mark in four years. This performance stamped Charley as the outstanding candidate for the Olympic Games in August. In four months. Coach Olson calls together the finest group of cross-country prospects in Pitt history. It has taken virtually three years to build up the present crew of harriers, a crew that shows promise of leading the chase for Intercollegiate cross-country honors in 1936. Already, plans arc under way for the drive to make this a Panther year in cross-country. An entire Panther team that finished a surprise'' fourth in the 1935 I.C.4A. championships, with the exception of Charley Groat, returns for combat in the Schcnlcy Park den. Sam Musico, after a year's lay-ofT, will add much to the Panther cause in his final year of competition. Last fall, Sam was stricken with appendicitis early in September, operated on two davs later, and finished the season recovering on a hospital bed. It was Sam who cracked the record at Annapolis in his junior year, 1934, as he led his mates to a 15-40 victory over the Midshipmen. Musico also copped State scholastic honors in the mile during his nigh school competition at Langley. Another senior, George Cook, missed his sophomore year due to injuries, and like Musico, plans to return for his third year of cross-country in the fall. Cook finished high in last year's individual 230 place-getting race. Two more boys, Harold Red Tost, honorary captain in ‘35, and Alex Leggin, round out a quartet of seasoned seniors that promises to shove the University to the top in the hill-and-dalc sport. Both earned varsity letters during the past two campaigns. Tost was the first Panther to breast the tape in every meet, climaxing a first flacc in the Butler encounter with a 14th in the C.4A. championships over the Van Cortlandt Park Course, New York. Leggin consistently held down number two or three position on the Panther lineup. Balancing this quartet of seniors to make a well-rounded squad, Franklyn Theriault and Jack Emens move up from the sophomore class with full years of varsity and frosh experience under their belts. Theriault counted cnought points to win a letter in his first varsity campaign, finishing remarkably well in 34th place at the I.C.4A. games. From the yearling squad, John Woodruff can boast of never really being pushed in finishing undefeated on a victorious freshman squad that swept aside both frosh and high school opponents with amazing ease. The long-legged Conncllsvillc runner won All-American scholastic honors by virtue of cracking the existing mile and half-mile scholastic marks at the W.P.I.A.L. and state meets. Others from Coach Potts' undefeated yearling aggregation who rate varsity threat positions arc: A1 Zamborsky, James Filson, Frank Bonorati, Bob Cogswell, and Fred Trcdcnnick.

The Panthers met West Virginia and Wisconsin, two of the best college boxing outfits in the game. Besides these two strong teams they met Buckncll, Catholic University, Carnegie Tech, and Temple University. The Panthers lost to Wisconsin by a score of 7 to 1. Buckncll won a close decision over the Panthers. The high-light of the season was the tic with West Virginia. Captain A1 Paslowski was by far the most persistent winner on Coach Jack Schrickcr's varsity. Paslowski dropped only one match during the season. He reached the finals of the Conference Championships bur was defeated bv Welsh of West Virginia. Welsh had previously defeated Paslowski in the bouts between the Mountaineers and the Panthers. Coach Jack Schricker 232 Varsity Swimming Coach Cork For the first time in twelve seasons the Panther swimmers did not win the Eastern Collegiate Swimming Association Team Championship. A defeat at the hands of Franklin and Marshall early in the season ruined the Panthers chance of topping the team standing in 1936. In the individual championships, Russell Lindberg, captain of the team won the 150-yard backstroke championship. The Pitt swimmers defeated their other three league opponents in a decisive manner. Manhattan, Carnegie Tech, and Delaware were defeated by decisive margins. Slippery Rock, a non-league opponent was also defeated. Army and Ohio State, also non-league foes, defeated the Pitt varsity. This years squad was one of the smallest ever coached by Corr. Only nine students were on the varsity. Lindberg, Locke and McQuillan were by far the outstanding point getters for the team. Thomas Anderson, James Lavinc, John Stiranka, Harrv Geyer, Robert Prince, and Walter Hunchak also contributed to the success of the team. 233 Wrestling The fact that wrestling is a comparatively new sport in the University's athletic curriculum and that the team is scheduled against strong teams and schools where the sport has been instituted for years is no small factor in the losses that the Panther team sustained during the season. Although the Panthers have been improving by leaps and bounds they are as yet nor strong enough to hold the better Out of 53 Intercollegiate matches with teams from coast to coast the Varsity Rifle Team won 33 and lost 20 matches. Other honors were won by the team. In the National Rifle Association's Allegheny County Intercollegiate Match the Panthers finished in third place. In this competition the team won five matches and lost three. Members of the varsity team who were awarded letters were: Captain A. T. Duff, J. H. Currie, J. C. Duff, W. S. wrestling teams in the Hast to respectable scores. The loss of the services of Captain Russell Bcdil-lion at mid-semesters weakened the team considerably. Babcock, Tormarclli, Thurston, Nicbcl, Simenoff, Richards, Kodashov, and Badillion were the wrestlers who kept tugging at their more experienced foes. Edward Mozeski coached the team. Greer, J. L. Poclott, and J. E. Tredcnnick. The R.O.T.C. Riflers ended the season with a somewhat better record than that compiled by the varsity. The R.O.T.C. team finished third in the 3rd Corps area and lost but six out of 28 matches. Of the three teams entered in the Hcarst shoot the first team finished fifth, the second sixth and the third team finished 23rd. 234 Rifle Team Intramural Sports After previous spasmodic attempts had failed, an elaborate Intramural program was finally conceived and executed last year with much success by Martin J. Fccly, a member of the Physical Education Department's faculty who assumed the added position of Director of Intramural Athletics. His primary purpose, which is the fundamental of ever)' activity in the Intramural field, was to give all students an opportunity to participate in some type of athletic competition. To achieve this aim he took a sputtering Interfraternity athletic program and made it into a firm foundation, from which the Intramural structure rapidly has risen. In addition to the fraternity competition, leagues have been formed to include such groups as the Medical School, the Dental School, the Engineering School, and the all-embracing Independents. Touch football, volleyball, bowling, table tennis, basketball, boxing, wrestling, mushball, track and tennis compromise the sports selection that was made available to every student in the school, with the exception of the varsity letter-winners. In the first year of organized activity, 1392 undergraduates participated in the various events. This year, while figures have yet to be tabulated, a greater entry list has been definitely indicated. Touch football, ranking first in calendar order and second in student appeal with 250 participants, started the 1935-36 Intramural season late in October. An Independent League, a Medical League, and a Fraternity Tournament had 22 teams playing on the gridirons of Trees Field and the Schcnlcy Oval. Although no winners in the other competition were determined, the Interfraternity championship was won by Kappa Sigma. Martin Groat threw a 15-yard pass to Paul Mahoney to defeat Delta Tau Delta, 6-0, in the final game. Volleyball, next on the schedule, was confined to the Intcrfratcmity group and Delta Tau Delta received the championship cup with Phi Delta Theta as runner-up. Bowling, another fraternity event, divided the thirteen chapters into two leagues. After defeating Delta Tau Delta and Phi Kappa by the margin of one pin in the first place play-off. Lambda Chi Alpha lost to the winner of the other league, Phi Delta Theta in the title match. Table tennis, growing in national popularity, has gained a large following in the University as evidenced by the entry list in the second annual table tennis tourney sponsored by Mr. Fccly as a part of the Intramural program. Close to 100 players entered the first round of the tournament which was held on the tables of the Y lounge. Tennis players, Irwin Solow, paddled his way to the championship for the second successive year by defeating William Brosius in the final match. A team tourney was conducted among the 13 fraternities and the Delta Tau Delta five man team of Hurst, Gleason, Pritchard, House), and Haller was responsible for the third Dclt cup of the year. Sigma Alpha Mu was runner-up. Most widely participated in with regard to players, games, and the like was basketball. Five leagues consisting of 28 teams and approximately 280 players composed the basketball set-up. Delayed by the flood and other obstacles, the basketball schedule was not completed until late April, when the championship play-offs were held. Two fraternity league titles were won by Kappa Sigma and Phi Kappa. In the play-off. Kappa Sigma annexed the Intcrfratcmity championship by defeating Phi Delta Theta, 27-18. Engineering League honors were won by the Chem Engineers and the Metallurgists, first and second place teams. The Little Potatoes were undefeated in the Medical School League and the Sophtics together with the Newman Club were tied for the lead in the Independent League. To decide the Intramural championship play-offs bctw'ccn the first and second place winners of each league were held. In this competition, the Sophtics earned the distinction of being classified as the Intramural champions by winning all their games in an elimination series. Tournaments in boxing, wrestling, and tennis provided activity and awards in other lines of athletic endeavor. Mushball play ended the Intramural list of scheduled events. Place winners in every activity were awarded gold, silver, and bronze medals. Trophies were given to the Interfraternity winners. 235 2Y Acknowledgments To the staff of the 1936 Owl for their cooperation and help. To Chancellor Bowman for his kindly and encouraging attitude.

DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION PITTSBURGH - PENNSYLVANIA CORRESPONDENCE INVITED In the beginning it was Freshman Week. We were freshmen. We moved around in the registration maze feeling as strange and bewildered as a mile runner at a debutant's debut. That feeling of ours faded as the University's united attack sent us through a swift series of events and first taught us the meaning of orientation. By the end of the first day we were sure we were welcome, by the end of the second day we had a definite appreciation of the value of activities, and by the end of the third day we figured we were going to like the place. Classes began, and we began climbing those steps to Alumni Hall. We were fairly well acclimated by the time the Druid Smoker and Lantern Night came. At the Smoker, key-conscious first-year men signed up for every activity in sight; the women tucked away the beauty and impressiveness of Lantern Night as carefully as later they pasted freshman armbands in their scrapbooks. It was our fortune, that fall, to sit in the Stadium and watch what we had heard called a lethargic Pitt cheering section'' whipped into a frenzy as the Panthers pushed back the green and gold steamroller that was Notre Dame. And minutes later we were a part of the back-slapping, hysterical madness which followed Mike Sebastian’s touchdown run (a heart-breaker for the Irish). We sang Hail, hail, the gang's all here” with all our might. And as we floated down the shadowed hillside that afternoon, drunk with the crazy joy of that victory and with having seen at first hand the real Pitt spirit, we knew that it felt good to be a Pitt man. 240 ★ THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY of a Company that refuses to grow old OiN the threshold of its second 50 years.

Then our parents went to the Chancellor's reception, and brought home grade cards, and these somehow brought home to us the realization that activities, fun, and tea dances weren't, really, included in that scholastic grading system that year. And so we went more conscientiously, if not more merrily, on our freshman way, sampling everything new and continually wondering why Mr. Trees had huilt his gymnasium so far, far up on a hilltop. The next fall we were sophomores, with all rights and privileges appertaining thereto. We found the Cathedral fully enclosed, and our hopes rose with the prediction that we would be the first class to graduate from the lawn in front of a completed Cathedral.

For the past four years you've been taking exams and have passed them all with flying colors. You've had many good times while at Pitt and in a few days Chancellor Bowman will present you with your degree. Then what? Well, I hope you make a connection that will be profitable and one that will lead you to great success. It's going to be a tough struggle, old man, but you've got the stuff that it takes to get along. Well Jim, I, too, have been busy with examinations. Every day is examination day as far as I'm concerned. Each morning, shortly after eight o'clock, the scientific staff here at Gulf put me through a series of the most rigid tests that you've ever seen. If I'm not up to par, and my grade cannot be lower than A , I don't get through. Well Jim, after exams like these you might think that I'm weary—but I'm not, I'm full of life. Millions of motorists from Maine to Texas find that I'm full of power, rapid acceleration, quick starting, and high mileage. Why not stop in and renew our acqaintance some day when you're passing?
