' I THE 1938 OWL ... PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS I C T O R I A DEDICATED TO — the boy and the girl who stand expectantly looking into the future, ready to exchange their world of polo coats, football rallies, and textbooks for their place beyond the clouds in the world of today . INTRODUCTION The wise old owl opens his eyes, blinks, and looks at life as it passes— We have substituted high speed cameras, lightning fast lenses and sensitive rolls of film for these all-seeing eyes in our 1938 OWL, Formality has been forgotten, and the pages that follow contain something of the work, the laughter, the rush and the beauty so familiar to our students. We present here the OWL’S pictorial interpretation of “Life” at the University of Pittsburgh. WITH THE ADMINISTRATORS NOW THE SENIORS IN THE ORGANIZATIONS AMONG THE FRATERNITIES THEN THE ATHLETICS DURING THE YEAR 1937-38 CONTENTS Companionship in every corner of rhe Common's Room, where each niche is filled with students discussing everything; the psych exam. Engineer's dance, the organ recital, last night's date, or the finishing of the Cathedral. As the sun breaks through the smog surrounding the University, the Common's Room is deserted while joyous Pittites lounge on the steps and plaza of Lilly Court, exchanging friendly gossip and last minute cramming for exams. AY or September, wh.it difference, it’s the time for making new friends and for keeping the old. There’s no better place than the Heinz Chapel walks with their lamp posts and maple trees. CAMPUS 1 ERH APS Heinz Chape! as a background provides the inspiration for these two studious coeds, as they read Chaucer, or catch up in Economics, for, although the library is meant for studying, these steps serve the purpose just as well when the weather is warm and interest lags. CAMPUS Upperclassmen and weary Freshmen hook- laden from the library, rejoicing that classes arc Through for the day are caught lolling on the lawn while others rush up the Fifth Avenue walk, late for seventh hour, torn between the desires of spring and duty's stern call to the classroom. CAMPUS MB Stone wall rendezvous in the brisk atmosphere of autumn, snatching last minute outdoor curs before settling down to winter's routine. Spring jackets proving chilly in the clear cold sunlight filtering through the falling leaves, reluctant to exchange outdoor fun for stuffv classrooms.

With the AD ISTRATORS Chancellor John G. Bowman CHANCELLOR JOHN GABBERT BOWMAN The Class of 1938 cherishes among the fondest remembrances of its college life, an appreciation of the personality as well as the ideals of Chancellor John G. Bowman. We have been fortunate indeed in being better able to sense the warm friendliness he radiates, while continuing to reap the benefits of his idealistic achievements. For. it is from those ideals that have sprung, not only our magnificent Cathedral, but a philosophy of life and education that has been to us the true goal of all learning. But what has served to endear him more, to University students, have been intimate glimpses into his private life and carefree youth. How realistically every boy lived over again with him, the pranks of his college days which he told so delightfully at Assembly meetings. Groups of rabid candid camera addicts have found in him an enthusiastic associate, for among his prized possessions is a dark room, where he has spent many happy hours developing his own prints. He laughingly admits to being, particularly, a bug on nature photography. There is something appealing about a man who will sit for hours, eagerly awaiting an opportunity to snap the picture of a tinv field mouse, poking his timid nose out into the bright sunshine. Such heart warming anecdotes have brought Chancellor Bowman closer to every student where his sincerity and friendship may be fully appreciated. 20 THYRSA WEALTHEOW AMOS Dean or Women Since 1919 women's activities at Pitt have been tinder the capable and considerate direction of Dean Thyrsa W. Amos; and the University rejoices in the continuation of her splendid services. Energetic in the pursuit of her ideals, yet so genuinely cooperative in her relations with women students, she has truly been a guiding light, in the advancement of coeducational opportunities here at Pitt. Dean Amos has been fittingly prepared for her profession with a background rich in elements necessary to administrative education. She received her early degrees at the University of Kansas and it was at Columbia University where her extensive talents in the field of student direction came to the fore. At Pitt she has continued her invaluable assistance to University women down through the years. Dban Thyrsa W. Amos Dean Vincent W. Lanpbar VINCENT WESLEY LANFEAR Dean of Men The personality of Dean Vincent W. Lanfcar has become a tradition among Pitt students. His friendly guidance, accompanying warm smile and drawling voice, has been of immeasurable aid to boys confused bv the intricacies of college life. His heartfelt interest and sympathy in student activity have given Pitt men a close personal contact with their University. Dean Lanfcar was born and educated in Texas, but came to Columbia for his Ph.D. After brief stays at Columbia and Yale, Dr. Lanfcar came to Pitt in 1925 as a professor in finance. He assumed the task of director of the Evening Division, and retained this post until his appointment as Dean of Men in 1933- Dran Char lbs S. Tippetts CHARLES S. TIPPETTS Dean of the School of BusiNESS A DM INISTR ATION Although he has only been associated with the University since 1935, Dean Charles S. Tippetts has reached a place in the heart of his students that is an enviable one. This man with the ready smile and a cheery word combines those rare qualities of exceptional ability and human understanding that has lent a touch of inspiration to his teaching and administrative career. Dean Tippett's extensive experience has been gained from many sources. He took his A.B. degree at Princeton in 1916, served in an ollicial capacity overseas in 1918, and has held a professorship in economics at the University of Washington, Iowa, and Buffalo. Since his stay here he has been actively aligned with the Chamber of Commerce and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. UNIVERSITY DEANS Dean Stanton C. Crawford STANTON C. CRAWFORD Dean of the College Dean Stanton C. Crawford embodies in his own personality and background, the very elements and purposes to be found in the school of which he is head. His interests and hobbies arc flung widely into divergent fields. Academically he continues to pursue his studies in biology and zoology, and his literary contributions in these sciences command nationwide attention. But he endeavors to find time for his interesting, if irreconcilable, hobbies of walking and ocean cruising. After receiving his Ph.D. at Pitt in 1926 he was appointed head of the Johnstown Center. In 1933 Dr. Crawford came to the University to serve as director of High School Relations and in 1936 took up his duties as Dean of the College. 22 CHARLES E. PR ALL Dean of the School of Education The School of Education boasts a man possessing the vigor of youth and the experience of a matured educator in Dean Charles E. Prall. Dignity and confidence mark him as the capable administrator, and a vivid sense of humor has made him a genuine friend to those who seek his counsel. His interests range from an appreciation of symphonic music to admiration of Eddy Duchin's music. Dean Prall's career in the field of education has been a wide and thorough one. From 1912 to 1927 he served as Superintendent of four different school systems in Iowa. Before coming to the University in 1934 he was successively Professor of Educational Research at the University of Arkansas and Dean of Education at Arkansas State University. A complete knowledge of his field has prompted him to contribute frequent treatises to educational journals dealing with problems of research and technique. Dean Charles E. Pram. UNIVERSITY DEANS J. Lloyd Mahony J. LLOYD MAHONY Director of the Evening Division Since 1934, when Mr. J. Lloyd Mahony was appointed Director, the Evening Division has added immcasurcably to its original practical purposes. No small part of credit is, of course, due to the transfer of the location of evening classes to the quiet, inspiring surroundings of tnc Cathedral in April 1936. But more important has been the personality and ideals of Mr. Mahony. He has striven continuously to create an atmosphere and a back- fround of appreciation that will create for his stu-ents a newer, fresher view of the world that a University should afford. Mr. Mahony studied at New York University, graduating from the School of Commerce in June 1923- After a brief stay as Research Fellow at the Guaranty Trust Company in New York. He came to the University as an instructor in Finance. For nine years, he served in the School of Business Administration. Then in 1934 he succeeded Dean Lanfear as the Director of the Evening Division, and has since fulfilled that duty with great success and distinction. 23 H. EDMUND FRIESELL Dean of the School of Dentistry The growth of professional schools in the Uni-versitv has been studded with the names of many brilliant men, among the foremost of whom is Dean H. Edmund Fncscll. There is probably no other name that is so closely linked with an institution's progress as Dr. FriescU's is with the school of Dentistry. From the moment he assumed his duties of dean in 1904, the Dental school has grown in size and eminence, being recognized annually as a Class A institution by the Dental Educational Council of America, since that body began its ratings in 1918. Dean Fricsell has long been a national figure among dental authorities. He founded the American College of Dentists in 1920 and has served on numerous state, national and international committees on dental research. He has found time to contribute widely to dental literature. His personal library contains a great number of almost priceless volumes, some of which were exhibited at the Century of Progress in 1933-34 by the American Dental Association. Dean Fricsell received his D.D.S. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1895, but returned to Pittsburgh to take his B.S. here at the University in 1913. He was honored by Marouette University with an L.L.D. in 1920 and by the University of Pittsburgh in 1930 with a Sc.D. degree. Dean H. Edmond Friesell UNIVERSITY DEANS Dean Elmer Allen Holbrook ELMER ALLEN HOLBROOK Dean of the Schools of Engineering and Mines To all engineers and miners at Pitt, Dr. Elmer A. Holbrook is not only a capable dean, but a real guy as well. In him his students have found the sympathy and insight of a character mellowed by many years of academic and technical experience. Born of hardy New England stock, he began his studies at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and received his degree in 1904. He began his teaching career at Nova Scotia Technical College; he moved to the University of Illinois in 1913 and continued there until the outbreak of rhe World War. Dean Holbrook served as mine superintendent in Montana and British Columbia, and in 1933 he acted as technical advisor on coal for the N.R.A. Despite his many duties as dean, Dr. Holbrook has found time to write more than one hundred articles on mining subjects and engineering education. 24 Dean C. Leonard O'Connell UNIVERSITY DEANS C. LEONARD O'CONNELL Dean of the School of Pharmacy In Dean C. Leonard O’Connell, an inquisitive and idealistic mind has sought expression in many complex endeavors. His whole life has been permeated with an altruistic desire to help others. It is not strange that he interests himself studying in the held of scholastic philosophy. His idealism has fostered a sense of civic pride and justice, that has prompted him to assume the chairmanship of the Board of Managers of the Juvenile Detention Home. His pharmaceutical vocation is never neglected, however, he frequently contributes articles to professional and trade publications and acted as coauthor of Pharmaceutical Juris-prudcncc,” a recently published work. Dean O'Connell's background is particularly appealing since he is a Pittsburgh boy, receiving his Ph.G., A.B., Phar.D. from the University of Pittsburgh in 1912, 1916, and 1929 respectively. He served as president of the Pittsburgh Pharmaceutical Association from 1929-1931 and is an active member of several groups in his profession. 25 DEPARTMENTAL HEADS lexasdrr Silver mas, Head of the 'rtment of Ohm is try s Dam bach, Director of Physical ion Ions Lei• Holcombe, Head of tary Department Hutchissos, Head of the De-f Physics Acting as a corporate whole, the University of Pittsburgh is nevertheless dependent upon the activities of its various parts for its successful functioning. Ranging down through the administrative management from the Chancellor and the Provost through the schools, activities finally center in the departments, each of which represents a particular field of study. The departments, however, arc not the definite division of knowledge into specific fields, for many departments arc intcr-dcpcndcnt, and many arc in turn subdivided in interest and activity. As a result, certain departments fall into natural groupings, and these groupings provide the fundamental divisions of knowledge; the social sciences, the natural sciences, and the humanities, arc all represented in rhe average course required for graduation 26 DEPARTMENTAL HEADS The first major group of departments includes the natural sciences, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Mathematics, which work in close cooperation with the Mellon Institute in the development of new technological processes and products. Pittsburgh’s department of Chemistry has long been internationally famous for the noted research men on its staff. Doctor Charles G. King has done much food research work and was the first to isolate Vitamin C. Doctor Alexander Silverman, head of the department, is widely known as a glass expert. Doctor Alexander Lowy’s work in the field of organic chemistry has won him widespread acclaim, as has Doctor Abraham Robinson's work in the ion-electron theory of chemical combination. Doctor Otto H. Jennings, head of the biology department, is well-known for his fine work, as is Doctor (C n nJ Next Pay) Walter Read Hovey, Head of the Pint Arts Department Dr. O. E. Jf.nninos, Head of tlx Depart• went of Biology Dr. Manuel Conrad Elmer, Head i tlx Department of Sociology Dr. Elmer D. Graper, Head of the I partment of Political Science 27 Dr. John W. Oliver, lead of tin Dt-pint UK nr of Hr (lory Dr. Wiiitiord H. Shelton, Head of tbt Department of Foreign languages Karl D. Swartzel, Head of the Department of Mathematics Mr. Theodore A. Sikdlb Assistant Dean of the School of Education ADVANCEMENTS IN FIELDS OF SCIENCE, ART, MUSIC, AND LANGUAGES Samuel H. Williams. The physics department, under the direction of Doctor Oswald Blackwood, and the mathematics department, under the fine leadership of Mr. K. D. Swartzel, have been doing more than their share in keeping Pitt at the top in all the sciences. Seldom recognized as such, hut also a part of the University’s natural science department, the Allegheny Observatory is among the foremost astronomical research institutions. Under the leadership of Doctors Frank Jordan and Kcivin Burns, the Observatory is constantly mapping more of the sky with its thirty-inch photographic refractor, the largest of its type in the world. In the field of languages, Pitt's English department under Mr. Pcrcival Hunt, has earned the reputation of having one of the best Freshman English courses to be found in the country. The Modern Language Department, under Doctor Whitford H. Shelton, includes French, German, Spanish and Italian. Lately installed in lavish studios on the seventh floor of the Cathedral, the Fine Arts Department docs work which is entirely in keeping with its physical environment. Mr. Walter Hovcy has been doing laudable work as acting head of this department. The work of the music department, under Mr. Theodore Finney has been given generous praise and encouragement by music critics. Recitals, concerts and music at University gatherings is the best evidence of the proficiency and popularity of the Glee Club, the band and the orchestra. 28 Dr. William Root Head of the Department of Psychology and Graduate Dean Heading a list of departments known collectively as the Humanities is Sociology. This division of the University, under the direction of Doctor 1. C. Elmer, has been of great service to the community by frequently working in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce when any sort of census or other official survey was made. The graduate courses in Sociology work go hand in hand with the Buhl Foundation, for the betterment of Pittsburgh life. Another highly important section of the Humanities arc the courses in Psychology. Experimental work done here by the advanced stu- Dr. Omar C. Held Assistant Dean of the College dents under Doctors Florence Teagarden and William Root in the study of reactions of children to various stimuli has achieved national recognition. The department conducts Psychology Forums for all those taking the courses. The History Department under the direction of Doctor John Gcisc, has been making rapid progress during the past year, in keeping with the general trend in all divisions of the University. The fields of Economics and Political science arc highly important because of their investigation of the various governmental changes taking place the world over. Sponsoring the bureau of Business Research, at the University arc the departments of Accounting, Commercial Education, and Business Law. The bureau is constantly watching the business level and trading activity in rhis locality in an attempt to assist the business houses with their problems. Achieving wider recognition than the University of which they arc a part, the members of our faculty have earned not only the respect of noted educators in similar fields all over the nation, but the high regard of their own students as well. Their character, integrity and high ideals arc as much a part of their reputation to us as their greatest academic achievements. r Dr. Richard Hope, Associate Professor of Philosphy Pbrical Hunt, Professor and Head of the Department of English Speech Henry Leighton, Professor and Head of the Department of Geology 29 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Georgb H.

Lloyd Mahony, Evening Division Director. Nearly all colleges and universities encourage the development of active alumni organizations, for they know the value of alumni good will and support. The need for close and understanding co-operation between an educational institution and its graduates has been demonstrated so often and in so many ways that, viewed objectively, the cultivation of effective alumni relations is just good business. It is good business, too, for the alumni because they benefit accordingly if their constructive efforts contribute to the development of the school and increase its prestige. A college degree is no better than the institution that grants that decree. The General Alumni Association is an organization and the only organization that represents more than 20,000 graduates of the various schools of the University. The object of the Association, as stated in its constitution, 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 keeps its members informed about University and alumni affairs; it promotes the friendships and associations of student days; it seeks to protect the interests of the University and of its faculty, students, and alumni. The Association, with more than 4,000 members.

W. Archie Wbldin Treasurer............................Robert R. Gaw Acting Secretary.....................Don F. Saunders has become a powerful, constructive civic force. Members of the General Alumni Association automatically become members of the constituent alumni association representing the school from which they were graduated. There arc nine such constituent associations Alumnae, Business Administration, The College, Dentistry, Education and Graduate, Engineering and Mines, Law, Medicine, and Pharmacy. The governing body of the General Alumni Association is Alumni Council. The Council consists of three elected delegates from each of the constituent associations, elected delegates from qualified Pitt Clubs, and the elected officers of the General Alumni Association. Members of the Alumni Council arc appointed to one or more of the following committees: Ways and means, finance, alumni publications, program, relations with undergraduates, alumni education, membership, publicity, alumni fund, executive, constitution and by-laws, alumni headquarters, relations with constituent associations andclubs, and alumni homecoming. In populous centers Pitt Clubs arc chartered by Alumni Council to hold regular meetings and to work in the interest of the University. The oldest of these Clubs was formed in 1914. Clubs arc now active or arc in the process of organization in Beaver County, Blair County, Chicago, Connells-villc, Eric, Harrisburg, Indiana County, Lackawanna County, Lehigh Valley, McKean County, McKeesport, Mercer, New Jcrscv, New York, Philadelphia, Southern California, Westmoreland County, and Youngstown. The Association sponsors a number of social events, including the Homecoming Smoker, the Charter Day Ball, and the Alumni Day program during Commencement Week. The constituent school associations have their own programs and meet frequently during the year. The omc'al publication of the General Alumni Association, the Alumni Review, an illustrated news magazine, is published nine times a year. The Men’s Placement Bureau co-operates with the Alumni Association in placing alumni in touch with prospective employers. At the Banquet Beginning the Alumni Membership Campaign 33 Office of THE Dean of Women PERSONNEL Miss McLaughlin and Miss Rush, assistant deans of women, charting in the Commons Room. Perched high on Alumni hillside, for eighteen years, Heinz House has been rhe center of all women's activities ar Pitt. The attractive offices of the Dean of Women were formerly found here, together with a spacious kitchen and reception room, ruled over by the much beloved Mrs. Foster. In 1938 the offices of the Dean of Women moved to the twelfth floor of the Cathedral of Learning. Yet Heinz House still represents the real atmosphere of Pitt to the daughters of the University, for here, grouped around the huge fireplace sipping tea and munching cookies -true friendships arc made and confidences exchanged. Dean Thyrsa W. Amos successfully personalizes education for every woman of the University from the bewildered freshman to the distinctive senior- bv providing opportunities for each girl to develop her personality through a variety of new experiences. Miss Amos was the first to introduce the freshman mentor system now adopted by mam-other colleges, which orients the freshman girl to the newness of Pitt. Under the guidance of a senior woman’s personal knowledge and experience the newcomer learns to acquire poise and dignity. Dean Amos shares the responsibility and work of the department with her competent assistants. Miss Helen Pool Rush and Miss Marv Frances McLaughlin. Miss Rush supervises the extra-curricular activities for women, while Miss McLaughlin deals largely with part time employment and housing. Seated in front of the Hein . House fireplace are Miss Scott and Miss Quill, receptionists of the office of the Dean of Women. Welcoming all students to Heinz House, stalf aides, Miss Jane Scott and Miss Grace Quil, arrange all appointments with stall members and arc in charge of the secretarial work of the office. The enrire staff strives to round out rhe education of each woman of the University so that, as each graduate receives her degree, she mav set our upon her career, serene in the knowledge that she is adequately prepared both intellectually and socially to face the problems of life. 3-f DIRECTORS OrFicE OF THE Dean of Men Miss Harrison, Miss Beatty, and Mrs. Cubhison arc the ideal secretaries in the office of the Dean of Men. Pitt men never hesitate at the door marked 809 Office of the Dean of Men, for here they have found a group of friends who arc understanding and helpful in every kind of difficulty. Planning and coordinating the many functions that lend color and meaning to the training of Pitt men makes the office the huh of student activity. Notwithstanding the demands of his own heavy schedule, Dean Vincent W. Lanfear makes himself available to Pitt men. He is anxious to hear their problems; he is attentive and sympathetic toward new ambitions, and is ever ready to give advice to his students. His assistants, Mr. Theodore Biddle and Mr. Robert Corlcv, may be found early and late guiding the student activities with certain and untiring hands. Mr. Biddle's time is taken in supervising the work of the Owl, Cap and Gown, Men's Glee Club, Demonstration Block, and other campus activities. Meanwhile, Mr. Corley looks after men's housing and the destinies of the thirteen Greek fraternities. The Men's Customs Program, which has been greatly expanded under His capable supervision, is a well-rounded method of orienting Freshmen men to their new University environment. Recently added to 809's staff, Mr. E. B. Williams occupies an important place as the director of the Student Placement Bureau. Through this office, engineers, bizads, and students of the college meet prospective employers and make excellent contacts for positions after graduation. Behind the scenes of the Dean of Men's office, Miss Alice Beatty, Mrs. Cubhison and Miss Thelma Harrison continue to dispose of the routine work. Their cordial greeting makes all newcomers welcome, and has established the office as a source of friendly cooperation to the University. Aiding Dean Lanfear arc Mr. Williams, Mr. Corlcv, and Mr. Biddle, who arc pictured in conference. 35 FoUR YEARS of work in labs, over texts of physics, chemistry and economics, four years of fraternities, proms and meetings complete the tradition of the class of 1938. Now the SENIORS Jack ami Jill went up the Hill ■then on seeking knowledge; They J heard from those experienced Thar Pitt was just the Co!Itft. They busied then with u ork and play And found no cause to grumble, Smart Pittites brought them through Tour years Without a single tumble. ft Just Frosh Dazed by rhe confusion of their first few months at Pitt, two frosh of rhe class of ’38 got off in a corner one day and began to compare notes. Freshman Jack proudly exhibited his bronze panther pin, proof that he had passed his orientation exam. In turn, Freshman Jill flaunted her gold and blue armband, having finally discarded the green one. Eagerly explaining the mysteries of freshman camp, the boy went on to describe the banquet given the freshman men. Not to be outdone, the freshman girl vividly described her experience of being introduced to Pitt’s campus by Pa Pitt at rhe Lantern Night ceremony. Classes changcd-so hastily exchanging goodbyes, they raced olf to different classes. Throughout the year, Jack and Jill met and compared notes until one day, they sought the usual corner, and noting each others pledge pins, were soon in the midst of a hilarious exchange of rushing experiences. Snickering at the remembrance, Jack described his astonishment at the sudden transformation of superior upperclassmen into all a round good fellows who slapped one on the back and urged acceptance of their invitation to lunch at the house. Jill recalled her rushing, four hectic days of fun—then carelessly reminded the boy rhar hers was the first freshman class to walk olf with the much coveted inrerdass sing cup. Hastily changing the subject, Jack reminded her that they would soon be answering the roll call as nonchalant sophomores. 38 Tapped to Cwcns, sophomore honorary, Jill attended the tea dances with Jack, now proud wearer of the Druid skull and dagger. An aide for the Cwcn High Tea for freshman women, Jill found herself wondering if she had ever been as naive, hut forgot this, completely absorbed in inveigling Jack into trusting her with his tux for the Co-ed Prom. Safely pinned into her borrowed male attire, Jill escorted her freshman date to the affair with all the usual masculine flourishes. Meanwhile Jack struggled with his ROTC uniform, managed to pass drill, and actually was tapped to Pitt Rifles at last able to supply Jill with those fascinating gold Pitt pins for which she was continually hinting. Jack and Jill dabbled in all three publications -the Owl, the Put Nru-j, and the Panther- and thus managed to get in on the Publications Banquet, there receiving their full share of puns and wise cracks. Participating in the political jam session preceding spring elections. Jack'and Jill were both elected to SFA and found themselves on the Appointments Committee. As light hearted Juniors, gaily parked behind booth counters during Carnival Night, Jack and Jill entered into the Spring Festival spirit. On Play Day, first Jill screamed encouragement from the sidelines while Jack pedalled ma ly down the hill in the sweepstakes—then he in turn applauded Jill as her exhibit passed in the fraternitv float parade. In charge of the traditional Fmcrald Luncheon for junior women, Jill bustled busily about preparing for a capacity crowd, all the time mentally gloating over Jack that her class was the first to boast a woman chairman of the Junior Prom. A few weeks before summer vacation, squeezed in beside Jackal Spring Tapping Ceremony, Jill sat shivering with Active Juniors excitement as she watched the awarding of the Junior Spoon. But the real thrill came wnen Jack was tapped ODK while Jill was chosen Mortar Board. As Jack and Jill started for home, a final glimpse of the Cathedral reminded them that next fall they would be dignified Seniors. Back from Engineer's Camp, Jack collected Jill and started for Senior registration and their iast year at Pitt. Strange to say, neither felt a bit more serious than they had as giddy Freshmen, but well concealed this under Senior sophistication. Activities now left no time for brooding; Jack was chosen Captain of his Battery, with Jill smartly swinging her blue and gold cape as she marched beside him at drill, his £o-cd Captain. Semester exams over. Jack and Jill watched the ceremony of crowning the Senior Queen, then tramped down to the Cathedral to collect their Owl, debating who had made Hall of Fame. Seizing the book eagerly, they exclaimed in delight for there they were, the pictured images of Jack and Jill smiling at each other from opposite pages. Graduation —clutching close her own diploma, Jill swallowed furiously at the lump in her throat as she watched Jack receive his; vet a few minutes later, cap and gowns jauntily disarranged, they breezed down Stadium Hill, the Jacks and Jills of the class of '38.

WORTHINGTON' Pcabodv High School HELEN CLAIRE YOUNG Mt. Lebanon High School, Oberlin College Delta Delta Delta 68 As A BOY stands on the threshold of his college career, the choice of a vocation may be the most important decision of his life. In his endeavor to make both a stimulating and a profitable selection, the Dental profession offers abundant opportunities. The gratification that will be his, by serving mankind, will be an unlimited source of happiness, the importance of which he will only appreciate in later life. The field of dental care is boundless, and every conscientious student will surely find a secure and honored position in its service. School of Dentistry DENTAL SCHOOL BOASTS HIGHLY ORGANIZED STUDENT BODY Here they come down rhe hill!” Yes, it's the Dents, attending the football rally in one huge mass. Or it's the famous Dent chant booming across the Assembly Hall, giving vet another evidence of the school best known in the University for its aggressive school spirit. Despite their work and the heaviest schedule in the University from eight to five o'clock six days a week the Dents seem always ready for campus activities. Dr. Wai.tbr H. Wright, Associate Professor of Clinical Prosthesis Dr. John- S. Asiihrook, Professor of Dental Anatomy and Dental Medicine For all their funmaking, they arc outstanding academically too. Under the direction of Dean H. Edmund Fricscll and a faculty of sixty members, the School of Dentistry is rated as a Class A organization, and its graduates have an unexcelled State Board rating. Much of the real work of the school is done at the Infirmary, which is devoted entirely to practical work for Juniors and Seniors. In the upper Dental building arc laboratories for Anatomy, Physiology, Histology, Bacteriology, Pathology, Basic Technology, Dental Anatomy, Operative and Prosthetic Dentistry, Biochemistry and Pharmacology. Additional teaching facilities arc maintained at Falk Clinic, Children's Hospital, Montcfiorc Hospital, Magee Hospital and the Skin and Cancer Clinic. Well known for their participation in local politics, the Dents have their own government—a Student Council composed of delegates from each class and representatives from the faculty—and their own publication, Dental Rays.

Schochtcr, Brown F. Davis, Todd. Widncy DENTAL STUDENT COUNCIL In the School of Dentistry, the dictates of student government are handed down hv the Dental Student Council. While its rulings arc dictatorial, its membership and powers arc derived democratically. The body is made up of five men from each of the four classes. All matters which deal with dental student policy, or otherwise concern the students as a body, arc ruled upon by the Dental Student Council. Last year's Dental Student Council educational program was featured by an address delivered by Dr. Frank, noted exo-donist, and movies presented by Dr. W. H. Archer on ''General Anesthesia and Oral Surgery. If any one event in 1937 is to be remembered bv the University student as char- acteristic of the well known Dent spirit it will probably be the Dental Student Council sponsored and University backed pre-Pitt-Nebraska football game pep rally held on Ruskin Field. The main purpose of this affair was to extend a personal tribute from the School of Dentistry to one of its most outstanding graduates, Dr. John B. Sutherland. When the senior dental students march up to the platform on graduation day to receive their diplomas, they will be attired for the first time in Pitt graduation history in doctors' caps and gowns and hoods. This represents one of the many outstanding achievements of Dental Student Council during the current school year. 72 DENTAL INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL Members included in picture arc: Brown, Moore, Harkins, Schcchtcr, Archer, Ratowskv President...............Simpson I. Schkciithr Secretary......................Frkd Archkr Treasurer..................John F. Harkins The Dents have always been known as the most unified and loyal school on campus, and this enviable reputation is due in great part to the Interfraternity Council. The group is composed of six members representing the three Dental fraternities Psi Omega, Delta Sigma Delta, and Alpha Omega. The Council meets at regular intervals to further amiable relations among the three organizations, and particularly to set up rushing rules which functioned to everyone's satisfaction this year. The Council sponsored the first dance of the year just before Christmas vacation. Fred Archer, John Harkins and Simpson Schcchtcr served as co-chairman of the affair which was held at the William Penn Hotel with Lcn Mahlvcrn supplying the music. It was a typical Dental success, highlighted by the rare experience of having some engineers in the crowd. The customary spirited tournaments on the basketball court and bowling allies, held sway throughout the year. The practice started last year of honoring a member of the faculty, when Dr. T. F. McBride was chosen, will be continued this year when the annual banquet is held in May. Those men who received keys this year were: Simpson Schcchtcr—Alpha Omega; Fred Archer—Delta Sigma Delta; Orcn Moore -Delta Sigma Delra; William Ra-towskv—Alpha Omega; and Ralph Bcrk-heimer—Psi Omega. 73 DENTAL RAYS The students, past and present, of the School of Dentistry have developed their official publication, Dental Rajs, into a literary bond between undergraduates and Alumni. The old grads derive a great deal of enjoyment from the enthusiasm of the young Dents while the students themselves can benefit from the advice and experience of the alumni. The student editor for the past year was F.. Ernest Rose, Jr., who also fulfills the duties of President of S.F.A. The publication is helpful not only in fostering an optimistic outlook in the Dental profession, but in serving as an educational medium for the latest developments and discoveries in the field of Dental Research. Dental Rajs provides a common meeting ground for scattered graduates and many a warm friendship is kept alive through its news columns. The editors have made it a practice to select some important element of dental practice each year, and to treat it thoroughly for the benefit and education of all its readers.

Ratowsky, Schechter, Block, Lichter Davis, Bernstein, Polk, Rossner, Feldman Banqueting seems to he the favorite Alpha Omega activity, judging from the number of times these Dents donned bibs and tuckers and made the headlines. Prominent men honored at banquets this year bv the fraternity were Dr. Isadorc Hirshficld and Dr. Sidney Sorriss. Both, members of Alpha Omega, gave clinics to the Dental Society and have achieved reputations as philanthropists. Early in October, the local group was host to the Supreme National Council of Alpha Omega. The affair, a banquet and meeting, was held at the William Penn Hotel. According to Simpson Schectcr, president of the local AO's, his trip as repre- sentative to the National Convention in Chicago, was indeed worthwhile. Closing the AO social season was the annual Spring Formal at the William Penn Hotel. Dr. Issac Schowcr of Chicago made the trip East to be guest speaker at this affair held during May. The Omicron Chapter of Alpha Omega was established on the campus eighteen years ago by a group of local dentists headed by Dr. Albert I. Wise, present Praetor of the chapter. The aims of the Alpha Omegas arc to foster social recreation, to sponsor professional and intellectual achievement, and to make college dental training a significant force in the lives of graduates. 75 DELTA SIGMA DELTA Grand Master................................................Fred Archer Worthy Master......................................Oren H. Moore Secretary.........................................Edmund S. Beal Treasurer....................................William W. Proctor Faculty Adviser.......................Dr. Archibald S. Lawson Not to he outdone bv the other fraternities from Dent Hill, the Delta Sigs arc planning a mammoth Spring Formal, to he held early in June at a Pittsburgh Country Club. Perhaps their most important event of the last year was the Alumni Banquet held last December. Delta Sig alumni from miles around tacked up their out to lunch” signs and hurried to Hotel Roosevelt where their actives were hosts for the evening. Athletics take a large part of the Delta Sig's time during the year. Under the sponsorship of the Dental I-F Council, volleyball, basketball, football, and bowling come and go with the seasons. Delta Sigma Delta, a national professional dental fraternity, dates back to 1882 where the first chapter. Alpha, was founded at the University of Michigan. The local chapter, Sigma, settled on campus in 1903 with twelve charter members. Today Delta Sigma Delta has risen to the top in the dental world. The aim of the fraternity is to hold 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. A policy of the local group is to provide personal relationships with practising dentists of Western Pennsylvania, thus providing valuable practical contacts for the future. 76 77 PSI OMEGA Grand Master........ Junior Grand Matter Secretary........... Treasurer........... ... .John F. Harkins Ralph F.. Birkhkimmr ....Charms E. Bull .. Frank G. Edwards The Dents arc noted for their activity and liveliness and the Psi Omega hoys, by no means, lack these qualities. Although a national professional dental fraternity, Psi Omega ranks its Spring Formal as the top place in the year's activity list. Usually held at a Pittsburgh country club, the fellows throw off their white coats and lay aside their drills cn masse when the month of May comes around. Leading the trek to the Formal this year is John Harkins, Grand Master of the fraternity. Harkins, a member of the Dental Student Council, will, according to his dent brothers, import a girl from Washington. Perhaps the most prominent Psi Omega is Ernie Rose, S.F.A. prexv and O.D.K. man, who was trying all year to make his girl a dance queen, or so his fraters claim. Secretly suspected of being a married man is Bob Gerretv, pole vaultcr deluxe and chairman of Senior Announcements committee. Holding down a couple more presidencies for the house is Charles Davis, senior class head and Dental Student Council prexy. Psi Omega, which aims to promote the social qualities and abilities of its members as well as to contribute to the general advancement of the dental profession, has the distinction of being the oldest of the dental fraternities on the campus. 78 AFA«A1LLEN FJ WIDNEY PA- ORECO R O AORRELL E W' SPHAR D� WF- SWANSON oirvrv cpu« itic FG EDWARDS RE-BERKHEIAER (U«m A«A� � «A R-E BROWN JD BOUCHER W U-TODD HPAILLER J LACE C9 PLUNKETT CR-DAVIS J-KBRA1LLER JR.

Fortunate indeed, then, is the youth entering the Medical profession.' In this field of health service, he is offered an opportunity to devote a lifetime for the benefit of humanity; and through a career of unselfish work he will be ever inspired bv the plaudits of a grateful nation. School of Medicine MEDICAL SCHOOL ATTAINS HIGH STANDARDS Headed bv one of the most capable groups of instructors ever gathered together, and with ample facilities for leading students into the latest word and deed of medical science, the University Medical School holds an enviable position as a professional institution. Ix catcd on the campus of the University, the school prepares University men for the practice of scientific medicine; teaches him medical ethics and Dr. William S. McEllroy, Assistant Dean of the School of Medicine Dr. James D. Heard, Professor of Medicine Dr. Charles F.. Ziec.ler, Professor of Obstetrics history so that he may fulfill his duty to the people and understand his obligations to his fellow practitioners; and leads him to an understanding of his responsibility in the support of proper standards and ideals of medicine. High on the hill in Pennsylvania Hall, the medical student receives his first two years of instruction. Added to this is a well known University Medical Center which has grown in the past year by completion of the new Presbyterian Hospital, by addition of a new wing to the general University Hospital for use of the Medical School, and by the erection of a new Psychiatric Hospital by the State under special grant on University owned ground with the agreement that the hospital will be used for teaching purposes. Further accommodation for the physicians-to-bc is being nude ready for next term in the rejuvenation of the old Mellon Institute. To these campus facilities arc added the unexcelled quarters of the many Pittsburgh hospitals, Mercy, St. Francis, Allegheny General, Magee, Eye and Ear, Children's and the Tuberculosis League Hospital. Here the clinical teachings of the third and fourth years arc carried our with the last word in medical equipment. 10S IN MEMORIAM 1870 1938 DR. RALF.IGH RUSSF.LL HUGGINS Dean or the School of Medicine The medical profession has had none more illustrious and devoted to service than Dr. Raleigh Russell Huggins. Throughout his professional life Pittsburgh has been provided with his leadership as general practitioner, surgeon, medical educator and civic leader. His guidance as Medical Director and Chief of Gynecological Service has done much to carry the Elizabeth Steel Magee Memorial Hospital to the front rank among institutions of its kind in this country. He was a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, Sigma Xi, the American Association of Gynecologists, the American Medical Association, the American College of Surgeons, and the American Association of Obstetricians, Gynecologists, and Abdominal Surgeons. Since his appointment as Dean in 1919, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine has grown in the courage and persistence of his leadership so that there is now nearing completion on the campus a Medical Center the value and importance of which is beyond computation, the fruition of his hopes and visions. But another monument equally befitting his generous nature is the deep respect universally accorded him bv his professional colleagues and the warm, abiding affection of his students. 109 HOSPITALS IN WHICH MEDICAL Magee Hospital Tubcrclosis Hospital Children's Hospital 110 STUDENTS RECEIVE TRAINING Eye and Ear Hospital Mercy Hospital Falk Clinic 111 Introducing: The Meds Professionally speaking Asphyxia ncoratorum Inverted T waves P.

Gutiirie Exclusive.” That's the shortest, vet most accurate adjective descriptive of this group. For Alpha Omega Alpha is the only honorary medical society of its kind in the United States and Canada. The standards and aims of the fraternity arc high, and its members arc selected from the higher part of the classes. The purposes of the society arc, the promotion of high educational standards and research in medical schools, the encouragement of a fine standard of character and conduct among medical students and graduates, and the recognition of outstanding attainment and achievement in scholarship and medical practice. Membership is based entirely upon scholarship and character. Since the founding of the first chapter by Dr. William Webster Root at the College of Medicine of the University of Illinois in 1902, the fraternity has grown rapidly until today it has chapters in forty medical schools of the highest rank throughout the United States and Canada. The University chapter, Gamma, was established in 1916, largely through the efforts of Dr. C. C. Guthrie. Numbered among the members of the chapter arc many of the most prominent physicians of Pittsburgh and its environs. The group's annual social function is a banquet which is attended by many alumni and at which an address is given by an outstanding member of the medical profession. 113 President .....................John Wilson V ce-Pres dent ................Stuart Meiil Secretary..................

The tenth would undoubtedly be a Med student, for a Med fraternity, the Delta chapter of Nu Sigma Nu, was the first founded at Pitt, being chartered in 1881. Though the fraternity is classified on campus as a social one, its social aim is merely an auxiliary and secondary one. Its primary aim is to foster scholarship among medical students, and this is coupled with a desire to furnish them a social and extracurricular life on the campus. From a small group of six charter members the fraternity has grown steadily until today it has an active group of forty members and an alumni of five hundred members. Many of the leading doctors of Pittsburgh claim membership in the fraternity and from time to time some of these men or some of the faculty of the School of Medicine address the organization at its chapter home at 151 N. Craig St. Although the rigors of the medical course force the brothers of Nu Sigma Nu to keep close to their studies, they do find time to enter into many campus activities and to hold three dances throughout the year. 114 PHI DELTA EPSILON Member included in picture arc: Nadler.

Eight years later, a small group of active students established Nu chapter at the University of Pittsburgh. Since then, Pitt medical students have had an opportunity to enter the life and fellowship of this famed fraternity. Today, Phi Delta Epsilon holds a high place in national fraternity life. Through conscientious effort, her sons have maintained high standards of scholarship through the rigorous training of the Medical School. They have developed character and leadership that have brought men to the front in the medical profession throughout the world. Nu chapter, besides adhering closely to the high ideals of the narional organization, has fostered a program planned to give her members every advantage possible in their professional life. Clinical discussions have brought the members into close contact with the latest in medical thought and deed. Along with this, social activities have been introduced into a busy schedule as relaxation from the vigorous medical routine. In this way the chapter has helped to form many new and lasting friendships besides casing the burden of concentrated work. Members of the fraternity remember Phi Delta Epsilon long after graduation and the many alumni clubs of the fraternity arc a fine testimonial to the devotion of the members. 115 President...............E.

In Theta chapter, all women in the School of Medicine find ample opportunity for association both with their sisters in the school, and with their many noted alumnae members in the Pittsburgh District. The fraternity meets about eight times a year with Dr. Alice Schmitz Gularski, their alumnae advisor, and with other alumnae members to hear speakers and to discuss issues pertinent to the medical profession. Theta chapter also boasts of several outstanding women in the medical profession as honorary members of Zeta Phi in Dr. Florence Kline, Dr. Susan R. OfTutt, Dr. Ellen J. Patterson and Dr. Maud L. Menten, who also serves as faculty advisor. Outstanding among the many program features of this past year was the second annual banquet held on October 19 at the Twentieth Century Club. At this meeting Dr. Alice Hamilton noted for her work in the field of Industrial Medicine addressed the group. On the same date, members of Zeta Phi, cooperating with the Women's Medical Association, presented Dr. Hamilton to the Allegheny County Medical Association. Earlier in the semester, the doctors-to-bc held a tea at the College Club to bid welcome to incoming freshman women. To provide for a few minutes comfort and relaxation from the rigorous routine of the medical school, the fraternity also maintains a room for members at Pennsylvania Hall. There can be no doubt that members of Theta chapter arc deserving of the recognition accorded them as one of the most active chapters of Zeta Phi. 116 STUDENT MEDICAL SOCIETY Member included in picture are: Alli on, Best, Weber, McMastcrs President........................John Weber Vice-President......................John Best Secretary........................James Allison Treasurer..................Gilbert McMasters The future doctors at the University realize that business can he mixed with pleasure. They have handed together into a group known as the Student Medical Society, whose purpose it is to promote cooperation among the members of the different classes of the School of Medicine and to add to this cooperation, social activities. Frequent meetings arc held during the school year, at which various guest speakers arc presented to the group. Through contact with these speakers, who arc usually men active in the medical profession, the students arc brought in closer touch with the outside world, and by getting the viewpoints and ideas of the speakers can better understand what they must be prepared to face after graduation. The list of speakers this year included Dr. W. S. McElroy and Dr. Davenport Hooker who spoke at the Freshman Reception, and Dr. A. H. Colwell who discussed Socialized Medicine. In addition to these meetings, a Medical School Ball is sponsored each year bv the group. The profits from this dance arc put into a loan fund for students in need of temporary financial assistance. Through its activities the Student Medical Society has become well known on the campus, and has made a distinct contribution to the social and scholastic life of the entire student body. 117 School of Medicine Thomas M.

Wesley William W'ieland John M. Wilson, Jr. Regis A. Wolff Benjamin J. Wood In THE far off lands of primitive-races, scientists have uncovered traces of crude drugs that heralded the advent of our modern Pharmaceutical institutions. History has been richly endowed with the creations of these scientists, who keep eternal vigil endeavoring to preach the cloud of pain and suffering which shrouds the human race. Every nation pays humble tribute to the men whose work is the merciful alleviation of pain and the compounding of nature’s remedies. School of Pharmacy PHARMACY SCHOOL PREPARES STUDENTS FOR PROFESSIONAL SKILL The little red schoolhousc of story hook-talcs still exists, and indeed is even a part of our own University. For it is in such a building located on the Blvd. of the Allies at Pride Street in which the School of Pharmacy is housed. Here the students arc young men and women working, experimenting, and perfecting their knowledge of remedial solvents. They arc people being equipped with the proper background for successful careers in the profession of Pharmacy. In this building there arc laboratories for practical training and firsthand research; a library of about 3,875 volumes, which contain worthwhile and instructional material of special interest to Pharmacists; here, too, they have an association that brings them in contact with the problems of the Pharmacist in the outside world, as well as in closer contact with each other. Yet, there is a similarity to the red brick schoolhousc for this one has a garden, but no flowers arc raised here. Instead, a great many species of medicinal plants arc grown, and the students arc afforded an opportunity to study official drugs from the primary source to the medicinal remedy. And, as in books, the students have their play as well as their work. The American Pharmaceutical Association has a local student branch, directed entirely bv students, which carries out a broad program of study and entertainment. During the past year the association presented a series of lectures by outstanding men i-i the field of Pharmacy, several social affairs, and a most enjoyable dance at the Pines. Other social affairs sponsored by the sorority and two fraternities of the school helped to relieve the burden of long hours of intensive study and laboratory work. Led by Dean C. Leonard O'Connell, the school has had a highly successful year, and climaxed its activities by taking an active part in the annua! Pharmacy Conference which was held in Pittsburgh this year.

Kuiu, Klein Boston or else has been the past year's motto for the girls of Lambda Kappa Sigma, women's pharmaceutical fraternity, because this summer their national convention, which meets biennially, will take place in Boston. With Eva Rosenberg as the promoter, they have planned for a convention excursion and, through rallies, candy sales, and general economizing, have saved to make this goal a reality. Last fall, the Lambda Kappa Sigmas wasting no time in starting their year's program, had a picnic in North Park on Registration Day. Later they celebrated their founder's day at a Fall Frolic” in the Hotel Schcnlcy. This, the Delta chapter of Lambda Kappa Sigma, was founded at the University in 1918 by fifteen students. Five pledges were formally initiated on February the twenty-eighth at a banquet in the club dining-room of the East Liberty YWCA. Favors for this alFair were miniature dolls dressed in pastel shades. The group observed Hvgcia Day in March bv giving a tea. A medical missionary from China was the guest speaker. Junior and senior members of the sorority took a trip to Detroit this spring to visit the laboratories of the Parke Davis Company. Before closing their program for the school year. Lambda Kappa Sigma held two annual affairs, their Spring Swing in April and the traditional banquet for seniors late in May. 126 KAPPA PSI Rt ant...................

Mack, McMillin Craven, Julian, Foust, Ryall, Bloor Robinson, Kc-alcy, Jeffreys Among the many other good things that suffered from the depression were the members of Kappa Psi fraternity who were forced to give up their house and publication of their monthly magazine, The Mask. But that was way back when, and these pharmacy students haven’t been idle. Their first step toward reorganization is the reviving of The Mask, because they know that this will bring the alumni into step with the strong active chapter in remedying their ’’houseless condition. The boys still find time away from their work and studies to have regular meetings and to remember their neophytes, pledged only from the upper third of each class, at the end of the first freshman semester. Their initiation week culminates in a rough initiation at South Park, and the formal initiation banquets arc held at Child’s private dining room downtown. The local chapter. Beta Kappa of Kappa Psi, also leads in the lighter vein of school life and has several fine dances on their social calendar. Their fall dance was held at Bill Green's and even now the members arc debating whether that club or a country club should be used for their Spring Formal. The local chapter is one of fifty-one chapters established at accredited pharmacy schools throughout the country. When, in 1925 the pharmacy and medical interests parted company, the fraternity suffered a serious blow. Now, in the 59th year of Kappa Psi, the graduate and active chapters arc engaged in a unified effort to reestablish the brothers of scarlet and cadet gray into a firm, national organization. 127 School of Pharmacy Philip J.

In endeavoring to give a fuller meaning to this ideal, a most significant step has been the extension of higher learning through evening schools. As a result, the intellectual glories and practical benefits of a University training have been placed within the reach of those who otherwise would be unable to enjoy them. 132 Evening Division EVENING DIVISION EXPANDS ACADEMIC PROGRAM Miss Frances Beard Secretary of the Evening Division Thirty-five hundred students, men and women, some specializing in subjects related to their vocations, others coming to satisfy avocational interests, all part time students have found increasing satisfaction in the program of the evening session. During the academic year more than two-hundred and fifty courses were included in the Division's program, with five university schools, the College, Graduate school. Business Administration, Engineering and Mines, and Education participating. Frequently electives have been included in these courses that were not available in the day session. The excellent facilities of the day school were also made available to the members of the Evening Session, giving Pittsburgh students an unusual opportunity for doing part time university work on an accredited basis. Coupled with the attractive schedule is a firm belief that a student has no right to feel that because he is unable to go to college by the full-time day route, he must miss the glamor of the extracurricular life at college. Therefore the Evening Division has included a social program designed to reach the varied interests of the entire student body. Beside the many organizations and fraternities, the Evening Students' Association fostered many features for the whole student body. The Commons Room aided greatly in the spirit of fellowship and unity, first as a setting for the Open House during the first few weeks of the school year, and again for the traditional carol singing at Christmas. Throughout the year members were attracted to the seasonal dances by cleverly entitled Harvest Festival , 'Snow Flake Hop”, Lion and Lamb Frolic , and Spring Prom. The friendships engendered bv this program add much to the attractive schedule of the Evening Students Division. 133 X H] A. is r tid 'T i fTlC t n W'b Wro in Ou S rV riCC. r hi� ru c s Zl n t - ur 13- AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF BANKING President...................Jambs E.

Although AIB is predominantly an educational organization, it has listed on its schedule forums, tours, a public relations program, a separate women’s club, and a social program. All of the forums were held at dinner meetings in the William Penn Hotel. Addressing the first of the year's five forums, Mr. C. F. Zimmerman, secretary of the Pennsylvania Banker's Association, discussed the 44 hour bill and its effect on banking. The next dinner-forum meeting featured a talk given by Mr. Philip A. Benson, first vice president of the American Banker's Association, in whose honor the dinner was given. Other outstanding speakers to address the AIB forum group were: Honorable M. S. Szymczak, member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; Montcfort Jones, assistant dean of the School of Business Administration; and Lewis E. Pierson, chairman of the Board of Regents of the Graduate School of Banking. AIB carried on an extensive Public relations program by sending speakers out in the field to churches, clubs, and high schools, to educate the people on the functions of banking. Outstanding on the social calender was their formal dinner-dance held in the William Penn Hotel attracting members of AIB from all over the state. In addition, the AIB held four dances for the members and their families. The Women's Committee had their own calendar made up of bridge parties, a spring style show, and a picnic to close the year. 135 President..................David B.

Burke Alpha Kappa Psi, professional commerce fraternity in the Evening Division, was the only outside group ever to see the Jones and Laughlin technicolor film on The Process of Steel Manufacturing.” This has only been one of the many interesting trips and speakers which have been scheduled by Kappa Alpha Psi this year. One of the members, who is working in the business under consideration, arranges these trips, not as sight-seeing tours, but for their informative value. Last year, trips were taken through Conncllcy Trade School, Carncgic-Illinois' new strip mill, and the Commonwealth Trust Co. Among the outstanding speakers to address the Alpha Kappa Psi's were Mr. Clinton S. Golden, regional director of the Steel Workers' Organizing Committee, on Leadership in Labor Unions”; and John B. Nicklas, discussing The Judiciary System.” Featuring the Alpha Kappa Psi social program was the weekly Wednesday luncheon held in the downtown Y.M.C.A. At these affairs topics of the day were discussed, the conversation being led by an unrevealed speaker, who conducted these discussion-lecture forums. Other social affairs on the program included a Men's Night with a buffet supper, floor show, and bridge at the Schcnlcy Hotel, and a rushing party held in the lounge. Mr. John B. Nicklas, district councilor of Alpha Kappa Psi, was the principal speaker. This year's activity was brought to a close by two banquets, the first held in honor of Mr. C. C. Shepard, a founder of the local chapter, and his wife. 136 DELTA MU DELTA Member included in the picture are: Owens, Mahoney, Brown, Tabor. Romig Snowdon, Thompson. Hanna. Levey. De Vi liar .

Lloyd Mahony After several years of striving toward a degree in the Evening School, sonic incentive is needed to encourage the students toward their far away goal. It is Delta Mu Delta's purpose to supply this drive to the high ranking sophomore students with a scholastic average of at least 2.0 in the Evening Division of the school of Business Administration. While the honor bestowed upon the sophomore docs not carry much social activity with it, the Delta Mu Delta fraternity sponsors numerous educational and professional programs. Meetings were held in the Cathedral and subjects for discussion mainly centered around preparing freshmen for membership in the organization. Letters were sent to the outstanding freshmen, who had not vet met the requirements entitling them to membership. These brought their attention to the purposes and high aims of the society in the hope that they would become eligible for membership in their sophomore year. In March, the fraternity met at a downtown restaurant in pursuance of its policy of choosing an outstanding local business executive to become an honorary member in Delta Mu Delta. This was followed bv the annual banquet and initiation held at the Schcnlcy Hotel at which the newly inducted members delivered a talk relating to their daily occupations. 137 President....................Minerva A.

All women in the school of Business Administration arc invited to membership. This year, as in the past, a key was awarded to the woman in the school who excelled in scholarship and extra-curricular activities. This year s program of activity was headed by the annual National Convention held for four days in June at the Schcnlcy Hotel. The social season was opened in October with a tea held in the Women's City Club at which the women in the school of Business Administration were entertained by Edna Hazlctt, a Chartered Life Underwriter, who spoke on Woman's Opportunity in the Insurance Field.” Before the year ended Phi Chi Theta was hostess to the women students at two more teas and at a Monte Carlo Whistwill. Other social activities of the Phi Chi Thetas included a Christmas party at one of the members home, a Spring luncheon, and the Spring Ramble. The most outstanding of these dinner affairs was the Founders Day Dinner held at Graystone Manor. 138 PITT WOMEN'S CLUB President......... Vice-President. . . Secretary......... Treasurer.........

This organization is social in character, its main purpose being to bring together the women attending evening classes, and is open to all evening women students. Most prominent of the Pitt Women’s Club activities is the lunch service that it sponsors, the proceeds of which arc added to a scholarship fund. Two scholarships arc offered each semester to two women in rhe club who have a high scholarship average and who arc outstanding in school activities. This year, Pitt Women's Club, with the largest membership in its history, sponsored many novel affairs. The social pro- gram started in October with a Welcome Tea and was highlighted each successive month through June by an unusual affair. In November the club held a Thanksgiving party featuring table games and was followed in January by a Twelfth Night Party, held at the Schenlcy Hotel. Other outstanding social activities included a musical featuring the baritone voice of Mr. Lloyd Mahony, director of the Evening School, an April Fool’s party, an annual banquet at the College Club, and a Spring bridge held on the terrace garden of the Schenlcy Hotel. The activities for the year were concluded with a business meeting followed by a picnic and the induction of new officers. 139 “Extra-curricular work” is the official title for this section; dance chairmen and rheir committee members, the staffs of the publication, dramatic, and musical groups arc all part of the “key men in chc University. hi the ORG IZATIONS STUDENT-FACULTY ASSOCIATION Members included in picture are: Stark.

This group provides an opportunity for students and faculty members to work together on common problems concerning the life of the student at the University. The assembly is composed of thirty students and ten faculty members, who determine the policies for the campus, while several committees of interested and capable students carry out the issues in many campus projects. This year the Association guided by a highly capable Executive Committee completed one of the broadest programs since its inception in 1954. The weekly meetings of the Committee became indispensable in acting upon the issues laid down by the Assembly in its monthly meeting, beside making final selection of chairmen of the various student functions from the names recommended by the Appointments Committee. Early in the academic year, the organization concerned itself with the many problems involved in moving the classes into the Cathedral of Learning. As a result of the efforts of the Parking and Traffic Committee chairmanncd by Albert Kairvs, Rusk in Field and the Schcnlcy Plaza were opened to University students for parking. Again in regard to lunch room facilities, the Lounge and Lunchroom Committee came to a partial solution of the problem bv securing the University Tuck Shop for students. Added to the many solutions of student needs were the programs fostered by the Assembly. Included in the SFA sponsored programs were the student pcp-asscmblv prior to the Pitt-Nebraska game, a student assembly in February when Chancellor Bowman addressed the group, the Demonstration Block where one thousand students added greatly to the glamor of a successful football year. Regular semi-weekly meetings sponsored by the SFA Concert Hours Committee and SFA Forum Committee brought such celebrities as John Jacob Niles to the campus providing unexcelled opportunities for personal and cultural growth in the form of musicales and lectures. 143 E.

Among the duties of Men's Council is the administration of Men's Customs. The thirteen councilmcn assisted by many campus leaders meet each freshman class at registration, and start them on a ten week program of counselors, orientation groups, and freshman meetings, so that they may orient the beginners in their new life. Senior tribunal with its dignified court ritual is the Men's Council way of ending the training period. Here one hundred outstanding freshmen arc awarded special placqucs for particular progress made during their training. A second feature of the Men's Council program is the Transfer Student's Smoker held at the beginning of each semester. Here upperclassmen, coming from other schools, arc given a chance to make new friends and become acquainted with Pitt ways immediately. The Student Book Exchange is a new— and one of the best projects under Men's Council direction. Until such work was begun, the lack of a central clearing point for used student texts was slow and expensive. As a matter of interest, Men's Council is a unique organization particularly in its election methods. At the end of each vear, the members themselves select half the junior and sophomore men to Council for the following term. Their claim is that such a system insures a continuation of policy, which cannot radically be changed bv the appointment of other members at the regulation elections in May. 145 John Glassi'.r, Men's Council President WOMEN'S SELF GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION President...........Thyrsa Agness Amos Vice-President......Mary Janb Beachlkr Stentary............Mary Lee Nicholson Treasurer...........Mary Jane Patterson Member included in picture arc: Swivdalc, Barnes, Hilicnrach, Lowv, Bcachler, Amos, Patterson, Nicholson.

Conn, Childress, Bottlander, Bell WSGA SUPERVISES WOMENS ACTIVITIES The Woircn's Self Government Association, as general supervisor of all women’s activities at the University, has made Pitt famous for its competent organization. Once a month, the doors of Heinz House close for a WSGA Commission meeting, at which representatives of every organization in which women participate here on campus, meet and discuss activities problems. Welcoming Freshmen into Pitt's campus life, WSGA sponsors Mixer Dances as one means of aiding the Freshman's debut into social activities. Through Customs Committee, WSGA tests the Frosh's knowledge of University traditions in the Customs exams. After passing these tests, proud Frcshics discard green armbands for jaunty blue and gold ones. The Unit Advisory Council of WSGA includes ten Freshman units and their uppcrclass advisors, while WSGA's Housing Board helps out of town Pittites find comfortable rooming facilities, and provides opportunities for the newcomers to make friends with their fellow strangers under the same roof. Women's Day Assembly is sponsored by WSGA in commemoration of the first women to enroll at the University of Pittsburgh in 1895- This year's forty-third anniversary found the first two women graduates of Pitt, the Misses Margaret and Stella Stein present at the unveiling of their pictures, done in charcoal by a later graduate. Miss Esther Williams. WSGA's Scholar's Day Tea provides the opportunity for the lucky tappccs to honorarics and recipients of scholastic awards, to be congratulated by their fellow studenrs in the Commons Room of the Cathedral. But Leader's Institute winds up a heavy year of activities for WSGA. Gathered together in Heinz House, campus leaders chosen for the following year's activity offices, meet together for guidance and valuable suggestions from their predecessors. Then WSGA closes house for the year, leaving a clean slate for next year's activity leaders. 146 COLLEGE ASSOCIATION President..................Theodorb Wiiitaklr Vice-President......................Ray Light Secretary..................................Janb Meiiler Treasurer.........................Harry C.

Mchlcr, Light, Whitaker CA DANCES ADD TO STUDENT LOAN FUND Organized for the purpose of providing funds for student loans, the College Association permits a student to obtain financial aid without mortgaging his future. Bv means of dances held during the year, a large Student Loan Fund is maintained to aid in the payment of tuitions. The Loan Fund is added to after each dance, for the profits from them make up the Fund. Staging one formal and two informal dances this season, the Association sets the admission low enough to allow even those with shoe-string pleasure budgets enjoy campus dances for no more than a dollar and a half. The CA is noted for its advertising originality. Stand-out in evoking enthusiasm for the year was its publicity for the annual Thanksgiving dance, paraphrasing a popular song, CA cleverly advertised Twilight and Turkey , offering live gobblers as door prizes. leaders of this year's dances were Ted Whitaker and Rav Light, president and vice-president respectively. Along with the twenty other members of the CA, all drawn from the College proper and equally representing each class, Whitaker and Light met several times each month to debate questions relating to the College. Not finding time to include the regular student assemblies usually sponsored by the CA, they worked with that excess energy on ticket sales for their dances, enlarging the Fund no little. Members of the College Association arc elected at regular student elections each Spring, along with members of SFA and Men's Council. 147 YOUNG WOMEN’S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION President......................Janet Crosby Vice-President.......Mary Louise Wheeler Secretary......................G race Kovacs Treasurer......................Rutii Totzke Members included in picture arc: Gregg, Totxke.

McCormick, Rousch, Yatzko, Manns RELIGIOUS PROGRAMS PLANNED BY YWCA The Youne Women’s Christian Association of the University of Pittsburgh makes practical application of their principles of fellowship and the creation of the spirit of friendship among its members. In tnc new Y.W. office on the ground floor of the Cathedral, presided over by new executive secretary, Mrs. Emmet C. Barr, Y members can be found any hour of the day, planning conferences and chatting about social events of the group. Starting out the year's activities at the Y.W. Hearth Ceremony held in Heinz House, freshman received their first introduction to the round of activities, which characterizes the University's Y.W. Grouped around Heinz House's open fireplace, frosh and upper-class women renew old and new acquaint-enship and start new ones, in the friendly give and take of informal conversation. This ceremony, patterned after a similar custom of ancient Rome, is the Y.W.'s way of including the newcomers in the Y program, thus making them feel at home, and at the same time, feel a part of the organization itself. A Fall Friendship Fry, held in Schcnlcy Park, further spreads this feeling of informality and participation in the University's activities. The Uppcrclass Clubs really form the nucleus of the Y.W. These mixed groups meet twice a month for supper meetings, discussing subjects ranging from Marriage Preparation, to the japanese Boycott,” their essential purpose being to further Y comradeships, and provide social opportunities for its members to enjoy good times together. Inquiry Forum, held even.- Monday noon of the year, encourages individual participation in discussions of campus pronlcms and national affairs, under the leadership of such speakers as Lieutenant Colonel W. F.. B. Covcll, Robert Klccb, Howard Kcatcr, and Lyman Hoover. Similarly, the Institute of Public Affairs discuss local and national affairs of public interest. Delegates to the various Intercollegiate Conferences such as the Middle Atlantic Regional Conference at Eagles Merc, bring back new ideas and suggestions from other campi to spur interest in Y members. The annual picnic in June, held this year at South Park, winds up Y.W.C.A.'s activities for the year, and Y members start out for various conferences from which to derive inspiration for next year's program. 148 YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION Presidtnt..................Robert Gump Vic« Prtsidtnt..........Harold Vibiiman Stcntary............Richard Wbstbrman Extentivt Secretary_W.

YMCA WIDENS SCOPE OF ACTIVITIES In keeping with its traditional policy of fostering fellowship and spiritual growth of men on campus, the Young Men’s Christian Organization this year enlarged an already well-filled program. The activities centered around a five point emphasis that included within it the major parts of the Association program. Committees on Public Affairs, Personal and Cultural Growth, Religious Emphasis, Social Activities, and Community Service organized within each of the uppcrclass clubs, were coordinated in a campus wide program. Under the guidance of these groups, the campus played host to many nationally known personalities. Early in the year Grace Loucks Elliot, reknowned lecturer on personal relationships addressed the members in two seminars. A religious emphasis week in February was lead bv Dr. Douglas Horton of Chicago University and other local leaders in a three day program on campus, looking to a renewal of the basic Christian concepts. Added to the outstanding programs pre- sented by these committees, were the many features of the Y program that have become an integral part of campus life. Inquiry Forum continued its weekly forum meetings with authorities on public questions while the regular holiday worship services were supplemented with five exceptionally fine Lenten Services in the new Stephen Foster Memorial. The traditionally successful Freshman Camp provided almost two hundred freshmen and upperclassmen with a never-to-be-forgotten experience. Included in the many other off-campus retreats, conferences and study groups was the National Student Assembly at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio in which eight of the Y members joined with students from all over the world in establishing the policies for Student Christian Organizations. The broad social program that found activity filling every week of the school year was completed with a picnic at South Park, but not before these energetic students had laid the tracks for next year’s train of events. 149 WOMEN'S DEBATING President...............................Jeanette Swartz Vice-President..........................Florence Hiller Secretary....................

Kuhbach, Rroida, Hiller, Simpson, J. Swartz TO DEBATE OR NOT TO DEBATE: THAT IS THE QUESTION Despite the short time since their introduction to Pitt’s campus life, the Women's Debating Association has made an Intercollegiate name for itself, among universities, high schools, and women’s clubs. Through debating and formal discussions, the Women's Debating team has carried topics of social and economic interest from Pitt to other college campi. At Lcctsdalc, Schcnlcy and Alldcrdicc High Schools, Pitt coeds held extension debates, discussing subjects of high school interest. Discussing the National Labor Relations Board, the Women's Debating team could be found this year holding extension debates at Avalon High School, North Side League of Women Voters, Women's Club of Turtle Creek, and the Bloomfield and Rodgers Parent-Teacher Association. Proving their ability not only on campus and in neighboring vicinities, the team toured such campi as Scton Hill, Gettysburg, Buckncll, Ohio Wesleyan and Al- legheny. Up on rhe last word in debating tactics, the Debating team broadcast over a local radio station in February, when they challenged Penn States' Women's Debating team. Any girl interested in the Women's Debating group may have a fair chance to prove her ability. Different girls arc chosen for each debate, thus providing an opportunity for each girl to debate several times a year. But Women's Debating Association has not only given the campus a worthy reputation to boast of, but ha been of real service to campus activity lead ers as well, by publishing a pamphlet known as “Pitt Pointers on Parliamentary Procedures. After its first appearance in activity circles, that booklet was destined to become an authority, present at all formal meetings, and considered the last word on meeting procedure. These ambitious debaters have not only benefited themselves but have answered the prayer of every assembly chairman on campus! 150 MEN’S DEBATING Manager..................William Stark Coach....................Charles W.

Harman, Janata Toig, Ackerman, Frankovich DEBATERS APPEAR BEFORE 15,000 PEOPLE DURING PAST YEAR A collective audience of approximately fifteen thousand people saw the Men's Debating Association rise to glorv through clearly reasoned points and eloquent presentation this year. Hitting a new high in the number of debates given, the territory covered, and the schools met, the Freshman and Varsity teams debated four widely-ranged subjects; compulsory arbitration for labor, unicameral legislature, industrial unionism, and an American League of Nations. Representative of the prominent schools met this past season arc Southern California, Missouri, Stanford, North Carolina, Penn State, and Puerto Rico. The combined Freshmen and varsity men took part in seventy-seven debates, the University being fortified by the largest squad in years. The Debating Association employs all three types of debate Standard, Oregon, and Informal Discussion and has so impressed judges and listeners that some of their arguments have been in- cluded in nationally circulated debate handbooks. The team also succeeded in garnering for itself two choice invitations for radio debating. One debate took place over a local station; the other was at the special invitation of Doctor Bernard C. Clausen, and was aired over the well-known Town Meeting of the Air. Debate audiences this year have included groups ranging from women's clubs and high school assemblies to business men's clubs and unemployed citizens' leagues. Always seeking to better themselves by discovering faults in delivery and technique, the debaters ask candid, anonymous criticism of their efforts. This season is generally conceded to have been the most successful in years. Not pursuing favorable decisions primarily, the Men's Debating Association has been rewarded by kindly audience reception, excellent recommendations from recognized debate authorities. 151 WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION President.....

Later in the winter, outings were held at Laurel Ridge, where W.A.A. members and Board went horseback riding, skiing, and held snowball fights. Evenings were spent grouped around the open fireplace, making plans for the coming year. Back to school, with the members of W.A.A. horseback riding, swimming, dancing, and playing most any game basketball, hockey, archery, golf, tennis, or soccer, while the women's tennis team of the University of Pittsburgh fared very well in competing against Tech, Duqucsnc, P.C.W., and Mt. Mercy this year and now look for new fields to conquer. Sponsoring a coed-prom for the Freshman women in October, at the University Club, the president of W.A.A., Louise Baughman, furnished the freshmen with a clever floor show, all school talent providing the entertainment during the intermission. W.A.A. invited every woman on campus to attend a regular Cabaret held at Heinz House, with the cabaret given in regular style -candles stuck in beer bottles, favors as paper hats and whistles, a special floor show composed of W.A.A. talent, and dancing to orchestra recordings. The traditional Christmas dinner, the Yulctidc Feast, was served in true English Yulctidc fashion—no forks, only candle light, pork and baked beans, and English pudding. Dinner began with the traditional bringing in of the boar's head, followed by the carrying in of the yule log and a dance around the log. Page Roberta Webb and two cavorting clowns, Betty Murphy and Grace Bour, provided a hilarious costume dance for the feasters. W.A.A. play day for all women of the University was chairmanned by Mary A. Weidle, a swimming champ. Members of the association gave demonstrations in diving and swimming forms, followed by novelty races and recreational water games, in which all the bystanders participated. Closing their social program for the year, W.A.A. sponsored their annual Senior dinner, at which gifts were presented to the most outstanding Senior members of the Class of '58. 152 SENIOR ANNOUNCEMENTS COMMITTEE Chairman...............

The seal is centered on the cover of the twenty-seven page announcement. Embossed in blue and gold the seal is drawn on a background of either white roan leather or bound cardboard. A blue leather thong binds the leather covered booklet and a blue tassel cord holds together the cardboard booklet. At the bottom of the cover, below the seal, burnished in gold leaf in old English type arc the words, “The Class of 1938.” When the announcements appear they will verify chairman Bob Gerritv s report that it was to be one of the most attractive covers ever designed by a senior class. In its efTort to edit a booklet that is truly different the committee centered the announcement around the theme A Modern University.” Scattered throughout the booklet arc fourteen illustrations of campus life. It was through the courtesy of me Owl that the most recent pictures of the Cathedral's arches, students lolling on the steps of Stephen Foster Memorial, or the walls of Lilly Court, or strolling across the cut to Heinz Chapel were shown in this year's announcements. The opening page bears an engraving of the Cathedral of Learning. Then comes a listing of Senior Week Events, Senior Committees, Officers of Administration, and candidates for graduation. Engraved on the last page is the Alma Mater with an underprint of the Foster Memorial. 153 DEMONSTRATION BLOCK LEADERS Members included in picture arc: Ellis, Cavalier, Schultz.

Section 17 of the Stadium, with a seating capacity of seven hundred, has been prepared as the new Pitt cheering section, the demonstration block! Dressed in their reversible blue and gold capes and caps, Pitt students appeared for the first time in a coordinated formation at the Duquesne football game. Displaying colors corresponding to those painted upon thumb tacks stuck in each scat, and responding to commands from the field transmitted by a public address system, they formed a huge gold P” on a blue background. Plans for a Duke ton hat and stick were ruined by the inclement weather; the rooters contented themselves with a single letter formation and with cheering the team on to another victory. Season ticket holders finally got a clear idea of what was happening in Section 17, however, when Pitt nlayed Carnegie Tech. The standard P faded into a Carnegie “C, then back into a P of reversed colors; a grinning Panther face appeared, then became a Scotty dog; and then a golden “P on a blue background. The striking effects and variety of effects possible for this SFA brainchild were even more clearly demonstrated at the Nebraska game. At half time, thousands of interested spectators neglected even the famous band maneuvers to watch the formation of “P's” and N's” that flashed from blue to gold in a twinkling, and then slowly rolled back to their original color. Seemingly black magic produced an outline of the state of Pennsylvania, the Cathedral of Learning, spelled P-I-T-T,“ and then, as a grand finale, drew a golden car of corn nestled in its green husk. To SFA, responsible for the cheering block project; to Mr. Biddle, to the cheerleaders and the section leaders and finally, to every one of the seven hundred students whose cooperation helped build the color and spirit of the new football cheering block . . . orchids. 154 PITT RIFLES Captain................Albert 1.

Military excellence, regularity of attendance, and high scholastic standing demanded of all members, secure only the more capable men for the organization. Lone hours of close order drill mark the performances with snap and precision. The Riflemen ably demonstrated their ability in a parade of eighty well-trained men before the crowded stands at the Nebraska football game. Again at the annual Spring Festival Parade, the Riflemen executed their platoon movements and silent drill in praiseworthy fashion. Although Pitt Rifles foster efficiency in military maneuvers primarily, their program for the past year has been well rounded with social events. Early in December, one hundred and forty couples made their way to the annual military formal at the Twentieth Century Club where in an inspiring ritual, retiring Captain Jack With-um and coed captain Irene Maroncy turned over their responsibilities to Captain and President Albert Kairys and coed captain Mary Ruth Goodwin. On February 17th members of the organization spent the evening at a formal banquet and initiation at Cathedral Mansions where thirty-four pledges were taken into the honorary. Louis Bearer, a Pitt Rifles alumnus, acted as toastmaster with Colonel John Lee Holcombe, Mr. Endicott A. Batchcldcr and Mr. Theodore A. Scidlc as featured speakers. Throughout the year the uniformed Riflemen were seen carrying out their duties as official ushers at the many events in the new Stephen Foster Memorial. In May, the strain of annual inspection was relieved by a picnic and dance for the new tappccs. Such a program of training and fellowship adds much to University life. 155 OIL AND GAS ASSOCIATION President..............J. Robert Randolph Vice-President...........William C.

The Association, affiliated with the American Institute of Metallurgical Mining Engineers, is composed of all the members of the Petroleum Engineering and Petroleum Geology divisions which comprise the Oil and Gas Department. At its weekly meetings, the organization presents guest speakers who discuss problems of importance to the student of mining. Such subjects as the election of courses, placement of graduates, and the current activities of the world affecting the present and future of the Petroleum Industry arc of chief interest. During the past year many prominent men of the Oil and Gas Industry have spoken to the group. Among these were Dr. L. C. Ncttlcton, Geophysicist of Gulf Research Corporation, who presented several interesting phases of geophysical prospecting, and Mr. Crockett, head of the Personnel and Education Department of Jones Laughlin Steel Corporation, who in a scries of illustrated lectures, discussed What Kind of Men Industry Wants . Several discussions were led bv students who presented their own experiences in the oil fields. Recognizing a need for better fellowship among the students of the department, the Association presented several social activities during tnc year, outstanding of which was a smoker held at the Edgcwood Community Club. Under capable, intelligent leadership, the Oil and Gas Association has grown to a prominent place in the lives of the students of Petroleum Engineering. 156 John Chcffcy Spring Festival Chairman SPRING FESTIVAL WEEK MAY 4. 5, 6 Wednesday afternoon . . .

Schultz Associate Chairmen SPRING COMES TO PITT For a hilarious four or five days, Pitt Eds and Coeds throw seriousness to the wind, stack textbooks in musty corners, and enter into the gala spirit of the day Spring Festival week. Opening the affair with plenty of noise, the band lustily declared their approval of the whole thing at their band concert in Carnegie Hall. Jammed in shoulder to shoulder. Pittites whooped up Hail to Pitt” in concluding the affair, and collecting both dates and their doo-dads, headed for the nearest exit and food. Next afternoon, slacks and sport jackets, surrounded snappy skirts and Brt blouses, at the Spring Festival Sport ancc. Truly jam session in aspect, stags mobbed fair coeds, and snitened their brother's best gal with the utmost of glee—and had the time of their lives in the amazing good humor of Sprint; Festival spirit. Carnival Night tnc height of riotous foolishness, the hum of constant chatter and nonsense exchanged, while couples drifted from booth to booth, spending pennies and collecting gay souvenirs. Purple balloon clutched in one hand, kew-pic doll and bag of peanuts in the other. we watched the turtle races, screaming encouragement to our pet ten cent bet in the offing as it ambled in the opposite direction from the winning spot. We lost, as expected, but gaiety unaffected, we moved on to the next event. Thursday's track meet found track men and their ferns all headed for the stadium, steaming up the hill in the highest of spirits, each confident that his house would win. Solemn tapping ceremony” on Friday morning, R.O.T.C. Parade immediately afterwards, then Pittites thronged the streets for the Women's Fraternity Float Parade followed bv the Men's Sweepstake races. Spring Festival Ball, Chairmanned by Steve Rooney, proved the most successful event of the week's festivities, novel decorations burlesquing the great loves of history— and campus romances. Hats off to co-chairman, D. C. Schultz and June Greene, in charge of the events for men and women —and a very special hip, hip horray for head man of the week, chairman, John Cheffey—for a week with more umpb than any other in Spring Festival traditions. 158 SPRING FESTIVAL SUB-COMMITTEES Chairman, John Chcffcy.

Lcfkowitz 159 IE 1 8 THE E PITT PANTHER THE PITT NEWS THE 1938 OWL Candid Camera, Eh? Twelve months of conscientious planning and working have resulted in this the 1938 Owl. In this period an honest effort has been made to include within its pages a true portrayal of the student at the University of Pittsburgh, what he sees, what he docs, and in general, those things which make his four years at Pitt a vital experience many years after. To tell this story in the most effective manner. Editor Idclla R. Rome, adapted a photographic theme with the greatest number of pictures ever included in an Owl. Scattered among the various pages of the book, illustrationsof cameras, lenses, student photographers, and film form a continuous background for photos of campus life. In this, the 1938 Owl is unique, the first to use an illustrated theme throughout the book. Articles written in an informal and personal stvlc add to the interest of the book. Little attempt has been made to delve into the historic background of fraternities or the long traditions behind student activities, but every effort has been expended to bring out these factors as exemplified in present student activity. The Owl this year has also been privileged to include within its senior section the 1938 graduates of all professional schools at the University, as well as the many organizations functioning within the schools. Added to the many new layouts and descriptive phrases is a color scheme that provides a harmony symbolic of the pleasant connotations of University life included in the illustrations. Indeed every effort has been made to provide a true “Pictorial Record of the University during 1937-38.. 162 THE L938 OWL Editor.....................................I della R.

Smith has been responsible for the predominance of satire and cartoons which caused the Panthtr s ascent to honors. In recognition of this. Hammer and Coffin, national honorary humor society, has invited the magazine to establish a Panther chapter at the University. Through its twenty-five years the Panthtr has acquired an intelligent, informed, critical attitude toward student life and has based its humor and its information with this in sight. The year's issues have introduced new ideas and new departments, the most popu- Panthcr Punsters Iar being the pictorial fashion section. June Greene, fashion editor, selected students of both sexes for modeling clothes in the various issues. The clothes were generously offered by a downtown department store. The issues included a Big Apple number which carried out this idea on the cover. The Christmas issue included a clever Santa Claus gift cover with a cellophane stocking” holding chewing gum. cigarettes, and candy. A special Cap and Gown number, including scores from the show Pickets Please,” served the double purpose of a humor publication and the theatre program. 164 Editor.......................Thomas L.

With its expressed policy of providing a medium for student expression at the University, the News, official student triweekly publication, began the 1937-38 volume with innovations in the form of the column Headlines, behind the scenes news reporting, and a number of campaigns whicti have since been adopted on other college camni. The most outstanding campaign of the year was the Wasserman test drive. In addition, the News made an issue of the use of Foster Memorial for student functions; probed the new Hagan athletic plan; supported S.F.A. in its request to the faculty for a course in Marriage and Home Making; challenged a long term leave of absence given to Dr. Brynjolf Hovdc, associate professor of history; urged S.F.A. to grant a charter to the American Student Union; and helped to sponsor a tuberculin test campaign. Definite proof of student support in such activities was seen in the results of the Wasserman test, in which approximately 2,000 students applied to the Student Health Service for the free tests. Among current problems raised and viewed bv the News were the approval of Peace Council's Anti-Japanese Boycott, and the inauguration of a series of campus polls on such subjects as athletic subsidization, government policy, unionism, and special carfare rates for students. No record of the history of the 1937 News would be complete without mentioning Editor Leo Kocbcrlcin and his staff. When a columnist's analysis of the Mellon charitable trust fund was censored, the student staffs resigned. The story is only further proof of the New's desire to print without censorship or interference, however, and is as high a compliment to its integrity as can be found. 166 THE PITT NEWS Leopold Kobberlbin.................Editor Jay Reich..................Businas Manager EDITORIAL BOARD Robert Adams Robert Brown Marion Conn Richard Cooper Milton Lehman Leonard Levison John Martinco Marion Mchlman Raymond MacIntyre William Murray Herbert Rackoff Melvin Rogow Robert Saffron Sidney Shore Ann Whippo BUSINESS STAFF Jack Golem an. ...

Hirtch Proud indeed arc the Senior women who don the stately cap and gown of Mortar Board, in recognition of their outstanding leadership and contribution to the University of Pittsburgh activities life. After three years of faithful service, worthy Seniors arc tapped to this honorary, and during their last year at Pitt, serve as an inspiration to their aspiring undergraduate sisters. Serving as Senior Mentors to new freshman and with their experience to guide them, these uppcrclass women try to impart some of their enthusiasm to these newcomers, to help them orient themselves to campus activities, and to the general newness of university life. Mortar Board sponsors freshman scholarship, first by presenting an award to the freshman woman with the highest scholastic average, then by reading the freshmen women's honor roll at Scholar's Day. Giving practical application of the ideal business woman, Mortar Board presented a skit with members characterizing the various types of undergrads who usually apply for a job, in comparison with the perfect business type, as represented by Janet Wilson. Then campus was sprinkled with Mortar Board members, equipped with needle and thread, making the white collars used bv women on their gowns at graduation. When honorary aides were needed for the Chancellor's Reception, Mortar Board members were chosen because of their poise and graciousness. In November, Mortar Board held a rummage sale, coming through quite successfully, while Xmas vacation found them browsing together at a Slumber Party given by their president. With the aid of their advisors. Miss Rush, Miss McLaughlin, and Dr. Jamison, Pitt's Mortar Board do much toward integrating the work of women's activities at the University of Pittsburgh.

Barr Viu-President.................. John Glasskr Secretary-Treasurer......H. A. Batch elder Paculty Adviser.............Robert D. Avars Perhaps the greatest honor bestowed upon a college man is membership in Omicron Delta Kappa, national honorary activities fraternity. Membership in Omicron Delta Kappa is open to outstanding Junior and Senior men who have attained special distinction in at least one of the following fields: scholarship, publications, athletic prowess, forscnic activities, and general campus leadership and influence. The active program of the campus O.D.K. circle is as distinctive in nature as the members who participate in it. The informal atmosphere of luncheons held every second week affords a splendid opportunity for intimate and friendly contact between twenty-one active members and four regularly attending members of the faculty. First on the O.D.K. list of events was the general tapping held in November. A novel system of tapping was employed whereby names of the new tappres were posted on a large O.D.K. key placed at the Fifth Avenue entrance to the Cathedral. December 8 marked the formal O.D.K. banquet held at the Faculty Club for the initiation of new members. All those attending wore blue buttonicrcs, a novel custom of long-standing popularity. This organization is planning to give to the University Library twenty-five dollars with which to buy books of interest to both faculty and students. Each year O.D.K. nominates a faculty committee to collaborate with the Dean of Men for the purpose of selecting the outstanding Senior of the year. A placquc designating their selection is presented to him during Spring Festival Tap Day. Plans arc being formulated to honor those University graduates who have won the Senior Award by carving their names in stone along the senior walk. 171 CWENS President.... Vice-President Secretary..... Treasurer..... Priscilla Wblday ....Betty Fagan Betty Langgutii ....Ruth Manns Cwcns, proud of rhcir Anglo-Saxon traditions which name them rhe Queens of the University, have gained this heritage through their qualities of fine leadership, willing service and high scholarship. Distinguished on campus hv their colors of silver and garnet, and bv their symbols, the crown and the scepter, Cwcns try to promote their standards among freshman and the other women of the University, and to be in every way, worthy of their name. It has become an annual custom for each group of Cwcns to publish a woman's directory and this year was no exception. A few weeks before Christmas, their little red book again appeared on campus, and a Cwcn with her arms full of red books was a familiar sight. Publishing the directory was a tedious task, but by that time, the twenty-nine girls, who were tapped last May, had learned rhat being a Cwcn meant being a worker. Their work began when they served as ushers at the Coronation breakfast last spring, since that time, they have served at the High Tea for Freshman women, the Chancellor's Reception, a Mortar Board dinner and an Alumnae luncheon. The Cwcn-Druid Tea Dance this year held at Webster Hall is an annual project sponsored by both Cwcns and Druids (Sophomore honorary fraternitv for men). In December, Pitt Cwcns were entertained by their sisters from Tech; and in March they in turn entertained the Tech girls. Tap Day found worthy freshmen women receiving carnations fastened to a necklace of silver and garnet; then Cwcns bid farewell to their active members at the Cwcn formal banquet at which the tappccs became the active Cwcns of '39.

Fostering leadership, scholarship, and character in extra-curricular activities and academic studies, the Druids have become a popular group on our campus. Paramount among qualifications for membership arc outstanding work in two or more major activities and a quality point average of at least 1.25- First among the Druid social events was the annual smoker held September 22 in the Logan Armory. Here, Freshmen men were introduced into campus activities and soon learned the importance of a well-rounded college career. Among the notable speakers of the evening were Dr. “Jock Sutherland, Druid alumnus. Dr. Vincent Lanfear, Dean of Men, and Carl B. Cass, who gave his ever popular version of Casey at the Bat . During the course of the evening, four Sophomore men were tapped to Druids: Joseph Kristufek, Henry Dc Rochcr, David Hamilton, and Richard Weiss. The Druids hold an enviable position in the social field by virtue of their tea dances. During the intermission at the tea dance held February ninth, a single undergraduate, Albert Lasday, was rapped; also tapped as honorary members were Dr. Carroll R. Daugherty, Professor of Economics, and Dr. Charles G. King, Professor of Chemistry. Plans have been made for a general tapping of approximately fifteen men to Druids in the spring when the present sophomore members will become alumni. Following the general tapping, a formal initiation and dinner dance have also been planned.

W'crlinich, Marquis, Cupclli, Engelman Where there arc a great many prc-lcgal students on a campus, it is quite natural that they should organize. Such was the ease in 1921 when the lawyers-to-be were quick to recognize the benefits that might be derived from an active organization that would bring them together with their mutual problems, and would give them a glimpse into their chosen profession. Thusjohn Marshall C.lub was organized under the name of that famous justice who made legal history on the bench of the United States Supreme Court. The John Marshall Club started off the past year with a smoker at the Y Club Rooms early in November. Amid the smoke and the congenial atmosphere, three new members were tapped into the organization, and H. Warren Van Kirk addressed the group. This was the first in a series of interesting and valuable meetings held throughout the year. Professor 1. B. Blackburn of the University Law School and faculty advisor to the Club spoke to them on the subject of Law School, giving the members a taste of what they might expect in that institution. Following this Leonard Boreman painted a Eicturc of the Problems of the Young Lawyer and •anicl B. Dixon, a student in the Law School added The Student's Idea of the Law School. At the regular Scholar s Day Assembly President Roberr Stewart, replacing Harry Miller who resigned at the end of the first semester, read out the names of thirteen new members. These joined with the old members at the annual banquet in May where many seniors bid farewell to active membership, prepared for entrance into Law school.

Aside from the production itself, the most important activity of the year was the Hallowe'en Masuucradc Ball held at the Twentieth Century Club on October 29. The club entertained the entire '38 production at a smoker during March where a movie of last year's show, Trailer Ho!' , was reeled off. As is the tradition, the Undergraduate Club held a mammoth banquet after the curtain went down on the last show of Pickets Please. Members of the Cap and Gown Graduate Club were the guests at this joint banquet. From the ranks of the club come the prominent contributors to the success of the Cap and Gown shows: the men who paint scenery, place properties, and apply make-up; tnc fellows who spend weeks in perfecting dance routines and in struggling with the act of behaving like ladies; and the composers of the annual hit lyrics and tunes. Tapping of deserving Pitt showmen was held three times this year. The club's roster was strengthened at the Masquerade Ball, before the current show, and on Spring Tap Day. From this group, cligiblcs arc selected for membership into the Graduate Club. 175 KAPPA ALPHA PHI Pnsidtnt.................Irvin L. Phillips Vice- Pnsidtnt..............Frank Irvine Suntan......................Homer Ni: vlon Treasurer...................James Rossbll Kappa Alpha Phi took the final step in the transition from a professional in commerce to a widely known active and up and coming social fraternity on the Pitt campus this past year. It has already made its mark along with larger activity chapters at the University. With a social calendar second to none. Kappa Alpha Phi entertained some twenty times throughout the year. Tea cups were lifted in trihurc to mothers and fathers as they were entertained by their sons. A very swank formal closed each semester. In mid year rushing. Kappa Alpha Phi outrushed every fraternity on the campus with a total of eight pledges. Her basketball team swept everything before it to ascend the Intcrcollcgiatc-Intcrfratcrnity throne and placed high in the Intramural Tourney. Cap and Gown also selected outstanding Kappa Alpha Phi men for its production and cast members. In spite of an active social program, Kappa Alpha Phi still maintained its traditionally high scholastic rating. Kappa Alpha Phi was founded at Georgetown University in 1920 and the Gamma chanter was installed here in 1924. The purposes as a professional fraternity in commerce have reen to perpetuate an association among students primarily interested in some field in commerce, and to maintain for the benefit of such students a closer relationship that will better fit them for their chosen vocations.

Ralcv 176 One of the greatest honors attainable for students of the mining school at the University is the Sigma Gamma Epsilon Senior award. Scholarship and campus activities together arc the bases on which the award is made; it carries with it the highest commendation for outstanding work during the past four years, recognized by a national professional honorary. Just as widely sought as its Senior Award is membership in the fraternity itself. Membership implies not only recognition as an outstanding mining man, but also insures participation and actual benefits in the form of practical lectures in the field of engineering which are given at their regular meetings. Miners eligible for admission into Sigma Gamma Epsilon arc tapped twice yearly, at the end of the first semester and at Spring Tap Day. They arc formally initiated at a yearly dance at the Churchill Valley Country Club, which also acts as a farewell party to the graduating men. During the past year, four men were selected by the group to represent the local chapter at the national convention held in Austin, Texas, during the Christmas vacation. Ray Nordstrom, Tom Malloy, John Paul Lacey, and Louis Averbach were the chapter delegates.

Linhart, Malloy With a brief but progressive history of eight colorful years behind it, Psi chapter of Sigma Tau national honorary engineering fraternity continues to play a vital part in the lives of university engineers and in the national organization. Members arc selected from the highest men scholastically in the junior and senior classes of the two schools with the qualities of practicality and sociability rating as top qualifications. Sigma Tau was elected on March 2, 1930, to full membership in the association of College Honor Societies, thus becoming the seventh member of this association, and the first Honor Society to be admitted to membership since the organization of the association in 1925-Thc members of this association consider scholarship as the outstanding qualification and recognize that other factors must also be considered. The members of the organization arc: Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, Alpha Omega Alpha, Order of the Caif, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Tau, and Omicron Delta Kappa. Sigma Tau is therefore recognized as one of the most important honor societies in the United States. Early each year, Sigma Tau awards medals to two sophomore engineering or mining students who have attained scholastic excellence during their first semester. Such occasions, as well as tapping ceremonies at the close of each semester and on Spring Tap Day, arc highlights in the lives of the engineers, for Sigma Tau rates as one of the first engineering honorarics.

John Trhdknnick First Lieutenant..........Charles D. Smith Second Lieutenant.....................Jack Withum Sergeant...........................William McKenna Holding an enviable position among campus honoraries is Scabbard and Blade, narional military fraternity. Organized to spread intelligent and authoritative information concerning the military requirements of our country, this organization has become a campus power through its membership which includes the leaders of over five hundred R.O.T.C. men. Most of the ranking officers arc included in its roster, which is made up of outstanding men in the advanced corps of the R.O.T.C. at the University. Aside from its military activity. Scabbard and Blade's social affairs arc well known. Three formal dances a year arc held: one in the fall, one in January, and the last in the spring. Official tapping ceremonies arc conducted at the first two dances as well as at Tap Day Assembly. The final spring formal is reserved for election and installation of new officers. After each tapping, initiation of the new members begins. No story of Scabbard and Blade is complete without mention of this famous week the inspections, the drills, the guard details and the final rough initiation” at Sourh Park which must precede formal initiation. For the quality of its membership, its high position in campus affairs, and the acknowledged spirit of friendship and cooperation which it encourages. Scabbard and Blade deserves particular commendation. 179 BETA GAMMA SIGMA President.....................Montfort Jones Secretary-Treasurer.......J. Lloyd Maiiony The highest honor for a Bizad student is to nuke Beta Gamma Sigma, honorary business administration fraternity. Activities of this organization arc limited to four dinner meetings a year celebrating the election and initiation of eligible candidates. Their yearly activity schedule is rather unique, a senior election early in the first semester and a junior election during the second semester, each election meeting preceded by a luncheon at the Schcnlcy Hotel. Following the formal acceptance by the senior rappees, an initiation consisting only of the reading of the ritual and the presentation of keys and certificates is held. However, the year's fun comes in after the junior initiation at a banquet given for the new members of both semesters. At this banquet assemble all the district alumni and the Bizad profs. Each initiate has to deliver a short speech on a subject relevant to finance, business, or the like; all speeches subject to the elders' criticism. Perhaps the most noteworthy activity of Beta Gamma Sigma is the awarding of a certificate of distinction to the highest ranking member of the Freshman class. Membership in this honorary is limited to those ranking highest scholastically among the first ten per cent of the senior class and to rhosc among the first two per cent of the junior class. Three actives who do not appear in the group picture arc: William P. Dietz, David B. Hussey, and Charles W. Wright, Jr. Members indeed in picture arc: Tippetts, Koch, Jones, Hiller.

Quite in keeping with their high requirements, they planned monthly programs this year, which would include lectures given by faculty members of the various departments in the College. Dr. B. J. Hovdc, of the History department, spoke on Social History,” while Dr. Samuel William explained to the group his conception of the term culture.” Dr. P. F. Jones, of the English department chose “Languages” as his subject, and stressed the advantages of everyday application of clear, concise speech. Working with graduate students who aided him in the discovery of Vitamin C, Dr. C. G. King was well prepared to discuss Vitamins and their importance in our daily menu. By way of diversion from serious subjects. Dr. J. Johnson vividly described his own archaeological excavations while in Montana. Notwithstanding their extensive program in intellectual fields. Pi Tau Phi's social program was not neglected. Prominent on their social calendar was a dinner meeting held at the Cathedral Mansions. Then initiation services added eight new members to Pi Tau Phi's roll call. Highlighted as the best social event of the year was the Pi Tau Phi Banquet held in April, at which actives, tappccs, and post graduates made practical application of Dr. King’s lecture on Vitamins!

Not for its members were old Greek mottos. Instead, the letters forming its name were gotten from the initials of the name of their faculty advisor, D. D. Lcsscnbcrry. The Cathedral chapter was officially recognized by the University in 1935- It was organized to encourage and recognize scholarship among undergraduates in the field of commmcrcial education, to promote closer relationships between the faculty, the student body, and teachers in schools in the Pittsburgh district, as well as foster a social spirit among its members. Since it was named the Cathedral chapter, the pins have distinctive silhouettes of the Cathedral of Learning as guards. This organization taps biennually in the fall and in the spring, with a 1.7 quality point average required as the minimum for entrance consideration. During the past year, the fraternity had Bishop Brown, head of the Retail Training Bureau, as guest speaker at a luncheon in Cathedral Mansions. In March, spring rappees were formally initiated at a banquet in the Silver Room of the William Penn. In line with its program of encouraging the interests of high school srudents in the University, Delta Delta Lambda had as its guests, during spring festival, members of high schools in the surrounding Pittsburgh disrrict.

Monthly dinner meetings draw tnis group together and part of the program is devoted to hearing a lecture on some topic of common interest. Choosing their speakers from the University faculty, and other prominent speakers in the vicinity, Sigma Kappa Phi members selected Dr. W. H. Shelton, head of modern language department, as the leader for the first meeting. He entertained the group with a novel account of the Nationality Rooms in the Cathedral, elaborating on the French Room in particular. November found Reverend Barry of Carnegie, describing to envious Sigma Kappas a glorious account of his trip to Europe. Dr. J. F. L Raschcn, of the modern language department, was featured speaker of the December meeting, and the group learned of the great German writer, Goethe, from Dr. Raschcn's illustrated lecture. January initiation presented the Sigma Kappas with seven new members chosen for their outstanding abilities in French, German, Latin or Spanish. Then William Coovcr entertained the entire membership with a delightful program of vocal selections in various languages. Dr. Johnson of the Classics Department contributed his share of the year's unusual program by discussing the Ancient non Indo-European languages of Asia Minor. April's warm weather found the Sigma Kappas heading an Open House at Heinz House, where each nationality group presented a skit. Each year on Scholars Day, Sigma Kappa Phi awards four scholarships to the four most outstanding seniors with foreign language majors; then again in spring, the fraternity taps outstanding foreign language students to their membership. 1S3 CHI RHO NU President.....................Gborgb E. Spbncbr Vice-President...................Jack L. Tbdrow Secretary.......................Van B. Webbr Treasurer.........................John W. Brown Carrying on the spirit of its founders, Chi Rho Nu, honorary pre-medical fraternity has made the past year an exceptionally active one in celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of its founding. Since 1923 when the Chiron Club was first established on campus, this organization has attempted to sustain the first enthusiasm of the pre-medical student and to acquaint him with the various phases of medical training and professional life. Throughout the year a scries of luncheons were given by prominent physicians. Among the outstanding speakers were Doctor Mctzgar, head of the State Medical Board of Examiners, IXxrtor Chalfant and others. Led by President George E. Spencer and an active executive board, the group, realizing the greater benefits to be derived from personal contact with the medical environment, planned several trips. The members were permitted to visit and inspect the Mayvicw Sanitarium, the new Allegheny General, and other hospitals. Special privileges were granted to the pre-meds as they were permitted to witness several operations, and were given ample opportunity to inspect and study the various implements and methods used in medical practice. On their social calendar, beside the numerous well-attended luncheons, the members of Chi Rho Nu scheduled a dance in celebration of their anniversary. The great success of the event is only a natural parallel to the success of this prominent campus organization. Members included in picture arc: Starzvnski, Weber, Clever. Spencer. Tcdrow, J. W.

Woodsidk As the Cathedral of Learning has influenced the growth of the University, so has Kappa Phi Kappa influenced the course of education. Kappa Phi Kappa is a professional education fraternity, the purpose of which is to promote the cause of education hv encouraging men of sound moral character and recognized ability to engage in the study of its principles and problems. The fraternity is professional as well as honorary in scope— professional Ixrcausc it invites to membership only men interested in education, and honorary because it chooses men who stand high scholastically. The national fraternity, consisting at present of forty-seven chapters throughout the nation, was founded in 1922. Tau Chapter at the University was established May 21, 1926, through the efforts of eighteen undergraduates and six members of the faculty. Admission into Kappa Phi Kappa is open only to men of good character in the School of Education, who have met definite scholarship requirements. This year, as in other years, before the Spring and Fall initiations, a smoker was held to acquaint the neophytes with the members of the fraternity. Shortly after the smoker the organization held the initiation banquet— the most important affair of the year. Quite often during the year, guest speakers were invited to dinners and luncheons. These gatherings created among the brothers of the fraternity, the desire for social contact, scholastic achievement, and professional attainment. Plans have been fulfilled to hold an annual spring dance in May at which time, the ncwlv elected officers are to be inducted into the chapter offices. Through the efforts of its members, Tau Chapter, like the Cathedral of Learning, is endeavoring to contribute to the growth of the University and to education in general. 185 Member included in the picture arc: Shore, Licblich, Conner, Kovac . Lehman, Stewart, Murray, Gorcnstcin, Brown Brennan, Roche, Hillock, Holmok, Lutz, Spano Quite the ■‘intelligentsia” of Pitt’s literary circles. Quill Club has acquired quite a reputation for knowing the ins and ours” of the writing game. Evidence of their writing skill can be found in the original manuscripts which each member submits for criticism at their monthly meetings. The group then argues the pro's and con's of its literary value, while its author sits bv in silence. Any student of the University may attend these meetings, and join with the rest of the members in the fun. This year's Quill Club members set a precedent in publishing the Journeyman, a literary magazine, twice a year, instead of once a year as previously presented. Poems, short stories, feature articles any literary contribution submitted by any University student, is considered for this publication. This year's first semester Journeyman even included a series of photographic selections by Philip C. Elliott, of the Fine Arts Department. Occasionally some campus or outside speaker addresses Quill Club members on a subject of literary interest. New members arc tapped to Quill Club in the Spring in a rather unique manner, differing from that of other Pitt honoraries. All students wishing to become Quill members submit original manuscripts for consideration by the active members. The most outstanding selections submitted and their authors' names arc announced at Tap Day. The Quill Club's initiation banquet then follows, when active and new Quill Club members forget their literary worries in dinner table conversation. Featured as the outstanding social meeting of the year the banquet was held at Cathedral Mansions this year, with Dr. M. R Gabbcri of the Philosophy Department as the featured speaker and Quill (dub's activities were over for the year 1937-38. QUILL CLUB President.............Milton G.

Ruth Tracht Representatives from high school publications throughout Pittsburgh attended an assembly planned especially for them by members of Xvlon, honorary journalism fraternity for women, from the staffs of University publications, the Owl, Panther, or Pitt News. Each high school represented submitted a copy of their paper. For the best publication, a cup was awarded at the assembly which was held on Xylon Day, May the thirteenth. Each year, Xylon sponsors several forums which any woman working on University publications or interested in journalism may attend. This year two forums were held; the first in November, featuring Miss Maxine Christensen, who spoke on the subject of “Women’s Place in University Publications.” Miss Christensen, as a Pitt graduate, is secretary to Robert X. Graham, head of the University News Service, and served on publications while a student at the University. At the same forum, four new members were tapped — Miss Christensen (to honorary membership), Marion Conn, Dorothy Davis, and Charlotte Levy. These rappees were initiated later in the month at a supper meeting held at Heinz House, with graduate, Irene Nlatvcak, as guest speaker. Former Pitt students now working in department store advertising, Misses Marjorie and Gertrude Reich, were the speakers for the second forum the former a Xylon alumnae. All of the former prcxics attended an alumnae homecoming banquet on March the ninth at which a Xylon bulletin was distributed. After the Tap Day exercises, new rappees were introduced to the active members of the fraternity at an initiation banquet late in May, which concluded Xylon’s activities for the year. 187 QUAX President........................Erma Kovalik Vice-Pres.'dent............................Zblda Gutmachbr Secretary....................Bessie Marshall Treasurer.............. Mary Jane Patterson Originating in 1919 from a series of biology seminars, Quax today is an organization which combines true interest with research for women science majors. It is a far erv from the day when Thaw Hal! served as the meeting place for Dr. Griflen’s lectures to the present meeting rooms of Quax in the Cathedral of Learning; so, too, has there been a great change in the prestige and reputation of this organization. On Scholar's Day, when the president announces: “For Quax, women's honorary science fraternity, I enter these names into the Book of Scholars, the new rappees feel that a real honor has been bestowed upon them. Membership in Quax is extended only to those who have a genuine interest in one of the sciences. This organization is unique in combining both the active and alumnae groups so that all members may continually be informed. Too, the annual “project of Quax is an extraordinary undertaking for an honorary. Each year, some subject—skin dermatology, this year—-is thoroughly studied. The work is not only interesting, but useful as well. It gives valuable information to the members, which they may find useful in applying for a job through the bureau started by the Alumnae—another worthwhile custom of the members of Quax.

For their monthly dinner meetings all the members of Pi Lambda Theta show up, teachers from all over the county and embryo teachers still in school. Speakers such as Mr. Stanley Goldman and Dr. James Rule were guests at these meetings. Traditionally, President.....................Gertrude J. Faber Vice-President.........................Margaret Martin Secretary...........................Ruth Thbis Treasurer.................................Jenny Watson during the Christmas holidays. Pi Lambda Theta entertains Junior women in education. Not to be outdone by preceding years this Christmas they gave a play and party at the University Club and entertained about one hundred girls. Then, for active members they had a luncheon and musical program at teacher's institute. Twice a year, in June and January, Pi Lambda Theta, taps women who have proved outstanding scholastically and whom they feel they would like to have represent the teaching profession. Following the tapping comes tea and pledging at the College Club. In May they combined with Phi Delta Kappa, men's honorary educational fraternity, for an affair in Webster Hall. Approximately one hundred teachers throughout the Pittsburgh district arc members of Pi Lambda Theta, and they have all upheld the aims of maintaining high standards of training and fellowship in the teaching profession. 189 sO P TT PL ft P CAP GOWN S GLEE CLUE v WOMEN S CHORAL UNIVERSITY CHIMES UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA UNIVERSITY BAND PITT PLAYERS Members included in picture are: , - Shapiro, Hadas, Rabinovitz, Haught, Goodstein, Cass, Tracht, Schmidt.

This gave the Players an early chance to try out the new little theater of Stephen Foster Memorial. Then, even before final production of Fresh Fields , Mr. Buell Whitchill, the new assistant director from West Virginia, had try outs for the familiar play Ceiling Zero . The technical staff furnished one of the best sets that has ever been used for a school play. From the Pittsburgh airlines were borrowed helmets, suits, uniforms, parachutes, radio receiver, and transmitters. Everything on the stage was the real thing , even to the air hostess' caps. Perhaps it was the play, perhaps the leading lady, the set, or the matinee performance but anyway, Ceiling Zero had one of the best crowds in years. Not to let other organizations on campus get ahead of them, Pitt Players had a tea dance at the Schcnlcy in March, and in true players fashion they entertained with their own talent, trios, piano solos, and impersonations. A new field was entered when a group of the players went down to KDKA and auditioned The Two Orphans”, and an old fashioned mclo-dramcr . There weren't any immediate results, but who knows Pitt Players may vet be giving a series of radio plays! As a climax to a successful season, the last production of Pitt Players was the popular Accent on Youth , again given in Foster Memorial. 193 Oh, To Be a Leading Man!

It also had one of the most realistic stage settings used at the University. By the use of borrowed equipment the Ceiling Zero” set became the operations office of a transcontinental airline firm. Flying suits, goggles, parachutes, telephones and switchboards, teletype machines and radio equipment were all used to copy exactly the office of the Newark, New Jersey airport. The Army Flying Contingent or the County Airport, the Pennsylvania Central Airlines, the Transcontinental and Western Airlines and the Bell Telephone Company all cooperated with Properties Manager, lone Williams, in producing a realistic background for a well-executed show. Peggy McGee and August Hoffman were the romantic leads, and Earl Riley played the part of Dizzy Davis in this play which was so successful on the screen. Jack Withum and Austin Hav, as Jack Lee and Texas Clark, gave a fine interpretation of the characters of the hardboiled, quickthinking airport superintendent and the easy going southerner they respectively portrayed. 195 Curtain . . . Lights FRESH FIELDS PRESENTED BY THE PLAYERS Besides being the first English comedy presented by the Pitt Players in a good many years, I:resh Fields bv Ivor Novello had the double distinction of being the Players' first show of the year, and also of being the first University dramatic production to be given in the theater of the Stephen Foster Memorial. Written in a light, airy style, Fresh Fields is the story of a rich Australian family of low social standing, and a poor London family whose social rating is excellent. The clashing contrast of good and bad manners and the ridiculous situations arising when a sophisticate and an average commonplace person meet, make Fresh Fields an adequate piece of writing. From the standpoint of good acting under skillful direction, Fresh Fields proved an equal success. lone Williams and Helen Aker man were very effective as the English sisters, Lady Lilian and Lady Mary. William Hocvclcr was well-cast in the other starring role as young Tim. The casting and coaching work was done bv Carl Cass, assistant professor of English, who rates high commendation for the smooth job he performed in producing Fresh Fields for the audiences crowding Foster Memorial November 3 and 4, 1937.

Dictator Bellini and his Minister of Propaganda, Billy Snirk have found that the Treasury can no longer support the undeclared war-for-profit which they arc waging against the neighboring kingdom, Holstein. Their only resource is to force the handsome prince Rodney to marry the old maid Queen of Holstein. Switched brides, strikes of the army, and the navy, international spies, women cabinet members, munitions plots and useless League of Nations meetings arc all part of the plot which dodges through the six scenes to eventually circumvent the viliian and smooth the way to a and-thcy-livcd-happily-cvcr-aftcr-cnding”. 197 The Little King Is Stopped Julianne and Her Prince Charming SAFFRON-SPA! Picluts Pitast is the production of two members of the class of 1938 Robert Salfron and Nick Spa nos, (heir second major contribution to Cap and Gown. Past audiences will remember the show produced from their 19)6 librette Out for Tlx Count. Responsibility for the last our shows has been delegated to Gene Kelly. Since 1933, when he figured as one of the principals, he has been intimately connected with Cap and Gown. Since moving from the cast to the director's box, he has supervised Out for Tlx Count, In tit Soup, Trailer Ho, and the present Picluts Pltust! He is incidentally, a member of the Chicago Association of Dancing Masters, the American Society of Dancing Teachers, and the American Federation of Actors, for in addition to his work on Cap and Gown he has his own dancing studios in Squirrel Hill and in Johnstown. 19S Yodcl-E-Dc-Lo, Let's Climb An Alp OPENS AT NIXON For the second time in as many years, Carl B.

The popular instructor of “Casey at the Bat” fame first played in stock companies in Minneapolis and St. Paul, then played character roles for the Goodman Theatre of Chicago. For a time, he was the director of radio programs for a St. Paul broadcasting studio-- then Pitt, where he has earned his reputation as a maker of character actors, from the hundred and one different people in his Pitt Player shows to Bellini, the roaring Dictator of Pickets Please. Some of the best of his choices were Dante Dallc-Tczzc, the varsity football star who became Bellini, the brazen-voiced dictator; Earl Rilcv as Sullivan, the man who could unionize even a group of professors; Bill and Jack Hocvclcr as the chorus girl-publicity director combination and William Murray and Sidney Shore, who became the Twaddle Twins the cleverest spies in the secret service. 199 Nice Work If You Can Get It, Baker Tell Me Pretty Maiden, Dear, Arc There Any More At Home Like You?

Through melody after melody they follow these hands and as the program is ended the thrilled audience shouts a tremendous approval. Encore after encore is called, and then another concert of the Men's Glee Club is over. Reknowned as the oldest non-athlctic activity on campus, the Glee Club has completed its forty-eighth year of musical achievement at Pitt. In this time the increased acclaim rendered to the group each year has been justified by an increase in variety and quality of the organization's programs. Early in the year the formally attired songsters provided the musical background at the Chancellor's Reception. Then, during the week prior to the Christmas holidays, the group appeared in the Commons Room to lead the student bodv in caroling. Later, in the rich surround-ingsof the new Foster Memorial, the Club presented its Annual Home Concert which aroused so much favorable comment from those who heard it. And, as its final activity, the group made its annual tour of the Eastern United States. Each program, better than the preceding one, the Glee Club is always striving for improvement, as much for the pleasure of it as for the purpose of holding concerts. Ranking among the ten leading college Glee clubs of the country, the Men's Glee club is definitely an attribute to the University. Manager...........Stanley J.

Margaret Taylor ‘ We’re singing our way through college might well be the theme song of the University Women's Choral. For every Monday and Wednesday afternoons, the girls of this organization meet with their dircctorcss, Mrs. Fred Lissfclt to practice for public appearances. Doing their share of making the Freshman feel at home, early in the fall. Women’s Choral combined with Women's Debating Association and provided a studio party, the Beaux Arts, to entertain the Frosh. Supplying the University with music for all occasions Women's Choral sang at YWCA service, and on Easter and Thanksgiving programs, besides participating in Religious Emphasis Week. At Xmas time, they helped put the Yulctidc spirit into the Commons Room, by caroling there, together with the Men's Glee Club. All year the girls worked hard and practiced long, tedious hours in preparation for their annual Spring Concert on May 11 in Carnegie Hall. After the concert, faithful songsters for three years service, were awarded lovely gold keys; this years awardees being Juniata Steele, Helen Kulik, Janet Hallock and Betty Alston. But it's not all work and no play with these chorustcrs. Besides practices, they sing together at private dinner parties held several times during the semester. The first dinner at which they bid farewell to their former dircctorcss, Mrs. Robert Avars, was distinctly autumnal in atmosphere, decorations and favors. At another, they tossed fluffy white snowballs about at a Snowball Party, while on Washington's Birthday, red hatchets predominated as the decorations. Then on May 18, Women's Choral members donned spring formats and attended their Spring Banquet, in celebration of the completion of a busy but successful year. 203 UNIVERSITY CHIMES Chimes Mark the Close of Class Hours As much a part of the Cathedral as the Gothic arches, our chimes mark the end of each class hour with dignified, subdued music-installed during September, 1936, they have since become symbolic of the Cathedral—at once refined and quiet, vet as alive and insistent as the spirit of the students. Each of the chimes is made of five piano steel wires, whose vibrations when sounded arc picked up electrically and then broadcast through R.C.A. speakers installed in each classroom. Class periods, all ending on the half hour, arc closed by chimes in a combination of eight notes the exactly reproduced tones of Westminster Cathedral's half hour chimes. Flooding the Commons Room with melody, the Cathedral organ, played by Russell Wickman, blends with the notes of the chimes twice daily. Fifteen minutes before the morning and the afternoon classes, Mr. Wickman, a composer in his own right, and the organist of Shadysidc Presbyterian Church, begins a program of hymns which continues until classes convene. If you prefer organ music to swing music, make a point of waiting for Mr. Wickman. His place is at the console of the Hammond electric on the second floor directly above the main entrance, and the music comes out here through the speakers in the elevator lobby on the third floor. 204 Mr. Russell Wickman, Univtrsity Or nisr UNIVERSITY ORCHESTRA Recognized for irs outstanding performances rather than for its position as a campus activity, the University Symphony Orchestra provides University men and women with a rare opportunity for training and recreation. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Theodore Finney and the faithful, conscientious work of the fifty members, a group of students with varied musical backgrounds have been molded into an orchestra whose efforts have been well received on many occasions. During the year, the group has found many occasions to move from its regular Thursday evening meetings into concert halls throughout Western Pennsylvania. In their many trips, they made concert appearances at the Stowe Township High School Auditorium and before a large audience in Uniontown. On April 13, the University Symphony moved into the Stephen Foster Memorial for the annual home concert. Soloists on this program were Harry Goldbv who played the Mozart Pianoforte Concerto in D Minor, and Mildred Gardner who received wide acclaim for her rendition of the Beethoven ■'Romanza'' for violin and orchestra. The University Trio composed of Bob Brown, Harry Goldbv, and Mildred Gardner, through their numerous appearances, have become an integral part of student activity at the University. Beside many off-campus performances the medodies of the trio were part of numerous assemblies in the Foster Memorial. The numerous behind-the-scenes tasks were faithfully executed this year by Stanley Ambrose and Clyde Courtwright manager and assistant manager, while Bob Flockcn carried the responsibilities of orchestra librarian. Thus fifty students found both pleasure and profitable training in working with the University Symphony Orchestra. 205 UNIVERSITY BAND OFFICERS Director..............Theodore M.

During the past year this versatile aggregation of musicians has added many features to an already long list of accomplishment. The novelty and variety of their performances has been the talk of many thousands who have been fortunate enough to witness them. Starting with the season's first football game, these one hundred and twenty men sent out a hearty Hello” that was re-echoed throughout the season. Their intricate maneuvers were carried to New York for the Fordham game and to Morgantown, West Virginia, where appreciative audiences were lavish with their acclaim. Next, a classic rendition of the Big Apple brought the fans to their feet at the Pitt-Nebraska game, and, at the last home game, the marching season was climaxed with the appearance of one hundred and fifty uniformed bandsmen, the largest marching band ever placed in the field. Not content to rest on its laurels from the football season, this organization went on to new conquests, carrying its spirited music to the Pitt-Penn State basketball game, and adding to the thrills of past performance by appearing on ice skates at the Pitt-Tech hockey game. The concert band of about fifty talented musicians received wide acclaim for its many splendid performances both in the high schools of Allegheny County vicinity and on its annual tour from Fric north to Buffalo and back to the Annual Home Concert in Pittsburgh. The perfection displayed in executing the most complicated maneuvers and in earning their musical reputation attests not only to the ability of Major K. P. Flagg as drill coach, and of Mr. Theodore Finney as musical director, but also to the spirit with which the Pitt men have entered into the long hours of drill and practice necessary to such performances. Our hats arc off to the Band one of the outstanding representatives of life at Pitt. 206 Marching along CLARINETS G. O. Abies A. Ackcnhcil J. Baldwin R. Bcrgcmann P. Brinicer T. Burger W. Dice R.

Among the FRATERS PANHELLENIC COUNCIL Pnsidtnt....... Vice-President Secretary...... Treasurer. . .. Bi tty Nkubrand . Vivien Roberts . .Ann Heltoott ...Leah Hirsch Grcnnan, Hclfgotc, Roberts. Ncubrand, Hirsch, Brown Custer. Batty PANHEL COUNCIL PILOTS WOMEN’S FRATERNITIES THROUGH SUCCESSFUL YEAR As friendly rivals, representative upperclassmen from every woman's fraternity on campus comprise Panhcllcnic Council, and iron out all the perplexities of rushing and other fraternity problems. Since the first women's fraternity was established on this campus, thirty years ago, fraternal-ism has grown until the men arc hard put to keep up with the higher standards women have set for them. Welcomed to the traditional Panhcllcnic Freshman Reception, the frosh made their debut into the friendly atmosphere of the women's fraternity world. Dressed in formal attire, uppcrclasswomen made them feel at home, then whisked them through the receiving line, introducing them to Betty Neubrand, Panhcl prexy; Vivien Roberts, social chairman; and renewed their acquaintanceship with Miss Thyrsa W. Amos, Dean of Women, Miss Helen P. Rush and Miss Marv Frances McLaughlin, assistant deans of women. Panhcl's fall rushing calendar permits one day of entertainment, so a tea usually beckons the rushec, where corsages, group singing, and refreshments arc in order. December witnesses the Interfraternity Sing, when each fraternity presents a skit in competition for the loving cup. Amidst a bewildering selection of Indian camp scenes, negro spiritualists, and art schools, Zeta Tau Alpha won for the second consecutive year. One of the Panhcllcnic mass meetings for fraternity women featured a song contest, with the winning one to become the official Panhcllcnic song. Extending hospitality to the transfers, Panhcl sponsored an informal tea for them in the fall, thus helping them to make friends with the fraternity women of Pitt. In preparation for spring rushing, which is an important period under the University's policy of deferred rushing, Panhcl, through its fraternity representatives explained the ins and outs of fraternity life to the frosh, in an effort to make their choices easier. Then rushing started, a three day round of formal banquets, kid parties, teas, and what not, when eligible rushccs made their first appearance at women's fraternity houses. Signs of Spring, brought signs of fraternity women giving the campus smoothies some worried moments until they were asked to the annual Panhcl Ball at the William Penn Hotel. With Vivien Roberts and her fiance leading the grand march, the others stepped in line to the usual Hail to Pitt chorus. Last year's calendar of Panhcl events, was climaxed by the Interfraternity Float Parade. With comic strip titles as their theme, Little Abner, Tarzan, and the Katzenjammer Kids balanced on borrowed trucks, as they precariously passed by the judges' stand and completed Panhcl activities for the year. 210 PANHELLENIC COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES Annabel Bortlandcr Leah Hirsch Jean Slack Rosemary Kavanaugh Ruth Vogel Louise Owens Florence Scigal Olive Brown Doris Grennan Vivien Roberts June ShalFcr Ann Helfgort Betty Batty Ruth Custer Alpha Delta Pi Alpha Epsilon Phi Beta Phi Alpha Beta Siftna Omicron Chi Or tie tit Delta Delta Delta Delta Phi Epsilon Delta Zeta Kappa Alpha Theta Kappa Kappa Gamma Phi Mu Phi Sterna Siftna Theta Phi Alpha Zeta Tau Alpha Marjorie Kuhbach Ruth Ruben Mary Bannon Betty Ncubrand Mary Lcglcr Betty Fairall Hclcnruih Gladstone Betty Phillips Lillian Zinsser Dorritt Bock Dorothy Baird Evelyn Bortz Betty Fagan Mary Lctschc Zmvscr, Kuhbach, Slick, Phillip, Icglcr Gladstone, bock 211 Members included in picture arc: Mathison, Kuhbach, Bottlander, Herman.

Dashing off to the University of Akron, live Pitt ADPi's attended the installation of the new chapter Beta Tau, at Akron. Spending a glorious three days there, entertained at luncheons, teas and dinners by their new sisters, they also had the honor of meeting their national officers from the Pacific Coast. The other new chapter ADPi established at University of Macon, Mercer, Georgia, makes a total of fifty-seven chapters now in existence. More than one ADPi got all stuck up at the Taffy Pull given the actives hv the pledges, in February, bur that only added to the general gaiety and fun of the party. Another party, this time at Betty Alston's home, barely gave the ADPi's time to exclaim the best time ever before they were busy entertaining Mrs. Stanard, editor of the Adtlphean, the ADPi quarterly magazine. But the ADPi's didn't run any risks of being caught in the Xmas rush of dances and parties, by choosing early December for their dance at Legion Hall. Outstanding in fall rushing activities, the ADPi's received the largest number of pledges of any group on campus, adding six girls to their group. Numbering Choral's Vice-President, Helen Kulik, among their sisters, the ADPi's boast another outstanding soror in Margie Kuhbach, Panhcl representative and active Cwcn. Prexy Annabel Bottlander rates Delta Delta Lambda, despite her struggles with practice teaching. Definitely on the way up in campus affairs, the ADPi's look forward to a snappy future. 212 President...........Prudence Rosen burg Vict-President...............Ethel Roth Secretary...........................Edith Gorenstein Treasurer...........Beatrice Blumbnfeld ALPHA EPSILON PHI The AEPhi's seem co he thinking in terms of orange blossoms this year, since Selma Horowitz, a sophomore, surprised them with her marriage during Xmas vacation. Ruth Ruben, also a sophomore, (the sophomores seem to have a monopoly) took her marriage vows, then honeymooned in Florida, while Muriel Lowy announced her engagement in February. Opening the year's activities with a rummage sale in the East End district, the AEPhi's had a riotous time indeed with several of their customers. The most amusing was a junk dealer who was haggling for an old suit of clothes. The girls wouldn't eo down a dime and he wouldn't go up! But you have guessed it, his persistence finally won the day, and the price went down to his original offer— but it was fun! During January, the active and alumnae chapters gave a tea at the William Penn Hotel, in honor of the national honorary members, Mrs. Friend and Mrs. Hannah G. Solomon, while Mrs. Maroin one of the charter members of AEPhi from Barnard College, was also a guest of honor. Leah Hirsch, not only representing the AEPhi's in Panhcl Council, and treasurer of that group, can also be found interviewing applicants for dance chairmanships on SFA appointments committee. AEPhi is also represented on the Pitt Neus by Dorothy Davis as society editor and a member of Xvlon. In November the AEPhi's gave a bridge at the Schcnlcy Hotel to raise funds for the National AEPhi's scholarship fund used to help deserving refugee women get an American College education -and raised one hundred dollars. Xmas vacation found the AEPhi's winter formal at the William Penn Hotel. A cocktail before the dance was accompanied by an Escort Index for each couple, patterned on the Panther student Index, which caused a lot of razzing and good natured banter.

All tnis happened in October, and Eta chapter was further honored by a visit from National Alumnae Secretary, Mrs. Vera Wolford, who stopped off at Pitt, while on her way home from the convention. A rummage sale in November, proved something new and different to the Beta Phi's, where they certainly had some new experiences and showed surprising talent, for amateurs, in merchandising and selling. Busily collecting money for the Mary Gordon Holwav Scholarship Fund, Beta Phi actives joined the Alumnae in sponsoring a benefit bridge, with great success rewarding their efforts. The wintry months soon rolled around to the annual Christmas dance in December, this year held at the Dormont, New Century Club. Marv Quinn, chairman of the affair, soon set the right pace, by introducing the Big Apple,” which soon proved the main attraction of tnc evening. Fraternity activities finally winding up, spring weather caused Convention plans to occupy most of the Beta Phi's thoughts, so prexy, Jean Slack, and vice-president, Mary Quinn, collected their belongings and started out for Blue Ridge, North Carolina. They were particularly thrilled, for this year, they would not only renew acquaintances with other sisters from all parts of the United States, but they also would meet some of the 1909 co-eds who founded Beta Phi Alpha at the University of California in Berkeley. 214 BETA SIGMA OMICRON They're really in the know about fraternity affairs, these Beta Sigs, who boast the president of Panhcllcnic Council, Betty Ncubrand, among their sisters. Home rushing rules, restrictions, and Panhel news arc no mysteries to these representatives of the Pitt fraternity world. Much to their disgust, the Beta Sigs had to use artificial snow, and cotton snow balls as stage effects for their Christmas party, since Pittsburgh just didn't come through with the real thing— all this in honor of Beta Sig's redhead, Marvetta MacKcnzic, who celebrated her twentieth birthday on Christmas Day. With the pass word, Big Shors Only, muttered to a pledge (whose head suddenly appeared from a package chute), actives entered the side door into a miniature Monte Carlo for their Valentine party this year. Receipts were raked in with a back scratches and while worrying anout the next bet. Beta Sigs sipped punch from frosty cocktail glasses. By the end of the evening, all but three Beta Sigs clutched large I.O.U.'s, bur Doris Bauer walked off with the evening's prize—an Atlas Bank! Having worked up quite an appetite from this exhaustive betting, the Beta Sig gamblers then retired to easy chairs, and were served sundaes, tea, and cunning heart and diamond shaped cookies. Cheated all winter long of their sleigh party, because of the absence of snow, disappointed Beta Sigs still mourn the unexplored hills of New Kensington. But Beta Sigs haven't lost out on chocolates, since Ruth Belle Strothers presented them with the traditional five pounds, when announcing her engagement to Robert Fcaron of Texas. Theater partying at the Nixon during the reign of Victoru Kttina, starring Helen Haves, the Beta Sigs then enjoyed themselves at the post-exam dance the Alumnae gave for them, that they're still hunting for another. Perhaps they'll get another too—next year! Member included in picture arc Stump, Scott, Shipman, Rainey, Dimmick, St. John MicKcnzic. Bauer, Kavanagh, Ncubrand 215 Members included in picture arc: Piper, Vogel. Edwards. Ixglcr, Latvras CHI OMEGA “Quality not quantity, emphasizes the Chi Omega's at Pitt, and needless to sav, that is what they get. No longer homeless, the Chi O's arc the happy possessors of a lovely apartment at 510 Neville Street, and most any day finds several Chi O's headed for that street, there to putter around, thrilled to pieces with their new home. Their fully equipped kitchen is still quite a novelty to them, and ever so often a Chi Omega turns up with a shiny new tea pot or a bright red coffee strainer—just for the fun of it. Monday afternoon finds many a Chi Omega pouring over a cook book and turning out a perfect salad or a delicious batch of spaghetti. Cooking seems only a minor accomplishment compared with the other Cni Omega projects. Conforming to a national policy, local chapter. Phi Beta, each year awards a prize to the most deserving sociology student, selected by Or. M. Elmer, head of the Sociology department. Eurrher applauding Pitt students to greater efforts, the group also awards an economic prize to the student recommended by Dr. M. McKay of the Economics department. The Chi Omega's carry on another national activity by presenting a gold medal every year to the woman in the United States who has contributed most to her field of work. Chi Omega has thus honored such outstanding personages as Frances Perkins, Dr. Alice Hamilton, and Katherine Cornell. But never be it said that the Chi Omega's neglect their social calendar; first the Penn State Chi O's were royally entertained in November following the Penn State game. Then celebrating the housewarming of their new apartment, Chi Omega's toasted marshmallows and popped corn, but there were more surprises in store for them as they drew toy autos, tool sets, and “cutic dolls from the grab bag at their Xmas party. Chi Omega's lastly entertained Helen Gordon, Chi Omega from Knoxville, Tennessee, fora week, before closing the beloved apartment for the summer vacation.

Then, too, we find them doublin' up with PiKA's the prexics of both houses always seen together. Cclcbraring their fiftieth anniversary on Thanksgiving Eve, the Tri-Dclts had plenty to be thankful for, and quite took the College Club over in their merry-making. Hallowe'en found them out spoofin' the spooks” at a hilarious masquerade party at their house. One couple really took the cake- Marion Conn dressed as a timid little ROTC lad her six-foot escort providing a hefty co-ed captain! Snow and blistering winds blew in the annual Tri-Dclt orphan's party of December, with Sally Brunson doing the honors as old St. Nick red suit, beard, sleigh bells and all a jolly Santa indeed, who delighted twelve wistful youngsters with his marvelous gifts. But the William Penn was the background for the Winter Formal. Here, the girls' shimmering satins and suave velvets, mingled with the black and white attire of their escorts under the soft lights of the Italian Room. Victrola dances at the house with buffet suppers served luncheon for members twice a month and occasional Sunday evening spreads at which some outside speaker usually presides furnish many opportunities for the Tri-Dclts to have glorious times together. June will find the Tri-Dclt Spring Formal held at the Shannopin Countrv Club, while the National Convention this year will be in Boston, birthplace of Delta Delta Delta.

Mchlman, Rosenthal, Per low Siege!, Hiller DELTA PHI EPSILON Victory parties after every football game, started rhe D Phi E's off on this year's social round with a bang, and they've had parties ever since, at least twice a month. Prexy, Marion Mchlman, entertained the chanter with several weekend parties at her home where the D Phi E sisters had some glorious times together. Winter nights found the D Phi E's theater bound, the Loew s Penn proving the main attraction and there, seated together with their escorts, exchanging wisecracks on the picture's deficiencies, the sorors spent many hilarious evenings of fun. Bill Green's featured the D Phi E's winter formal in December, the much publicized surprise favors turning out to be boxes of tiny multi-colored hard candies. Sr. Valentine's day found them playing charades at their apartment, in true party spirit. These D Phi E's certainly get around, boasting four weddings and two blessed events in the past semester, while last year's Regina, Minerva Reiter, is engaged to be married. Funny how these fraternity girls go for the professional men Florence Siegel with a secret passion for the medical profession, while Helen Ruth Gladstone has developed a sudden interest in dentistry. The D Phi E's have their share of the intcllcgcntia, with Florence Hiller as active comptroller for the '380wl. A P. J. party in October revealed the D Phi E's sauntering around their apartment in various states of attire, exchanging last minute gossip, and taking life easy, in the friendly atmosphere of sisterly banter. Honoring their senior graduates at a formal luncheon, D Phi E's presented them with lovely compacts, crested with the fraternity seal. National Convention time and D Phi E's brushed up on their chapter's accomplishments before setting out for New York, to impress their out-of-town sisters. 218 President...................Marion Mehlman Vice-President......Jbannbite Rosf.nthal Secretary...............................Shirley Perlow Treasurer.............................Elizabeth Fisher PusuUm.................Lucille Uptegraff Vice-President.........Gracf: Auoenstbnb Secretary...................Jean Hargrave Treasurer..................Lucille O'Brien DELTA ZETA A social step ahead of the other frats, the Delta Zctas opened their social program in August, with an informal dance at Bill Green's. September's meeting found prexy, Lucille Uptcgraff, announcing a tea for Delta Zcta mothers at the apartment, followed soon by a Founder's Day Banquet, at which Miss Helen P. Rush, assistant Dean of Women at Pitt and an alumna Delta Zcta, spoke to the fraternity in the Blue Room of the William Penn. A visit from National Field Counsellor, Miss Augusta Piattc of Alabama, resulted in a scries of dinners, luncheons, and teas to entertain that charming lady with the Southern drawl. Then Delta Zcta Mothers and Dads met and discussed daughter and her problems over the bridge tables at Wilma Jackson's in December, while said daughters were enjoying Wednesday night dates. Standard meetings found each Delta Zcta checking up on her good and bad points, and asking sisterly advice in correcting the latter. The Delta Zcta Christmas party differed from the other frat celebrations, in that the Christmas exchange included gifts for Vest, Kentucky mountain social service project. Quite ingenious these Delta Zctas, who continued their policy of doing things differently, bv holding their Christmas formal in an entirely new setting thcJacKSon Hotel. January's first meeting found the Delta Zcta's selecting their resolutions for the New Year -among them a promise to aid the Mothers with their dessert bridge held at the apartment in February. Having won honorable mention for their skit, Love is Enough in the Intcrfratcrnitv Sing Contest, the Delta Zcta's arc aiming even higher for next year, intent on making their lamp burn brighter than ever.

Tapped Co-ed Colonel of the ROTC, Thrvsa Agness Amos also heads W.S.G.A. and rules campus activities with an iron hanef. Entertained by the SAE's at a supper dance, the Theta's worked off their social obligations by inviting them to a tea dance, their new radio-victrola subbing for a swing band. Crawling through a window into the spooky cellar of the Theta house, visitors to the Hallowe'en party, screamed in terror as ghostly figures flitted by them, cold hands grasped their clothes, and clammy ropes brushed their faces, before they could gain the safety of the first floor. An alumnae party in November found the Thetas having their fortunes told by a young seer strangely resembling Judy George, while others of their group played bingo and bowling games. Christmas vacation brought more social affairs; first, a chapter party with Theta sisters exchanging fifty-ccnt gifts, and then the Mothers' Club entertained their daughters, who again received presents this time from Santa's huge red sock. A surprise visit from Grand Treasurer, Mrs. Athern, would have stumped most fraternities, but the Thetas carried off the situation very nicely by entertaining their visitor at a charming tea. Pajamas of every color, shape, and size smuggled into the Theta house announced the Slumber party in January with a bull session lasting all night, and several bridge games in process left the Thera's with little time to sleep that night. The Senior luncheon winds up Theta activities for the year, and Theta delegates jaunt off to Convention, proud of their chapter's record for the year. President..... Vice-President Secretary.....

Marjory Watson foxed them all by marrying a New Yorker, and now posts her address from sunny Florida. October found tiny navv and light blue ribbons decorating gold Kappa keys, celebrating Founder’s Day, while visitors to the pledge dance in Novemner received quite a welcome as each couple was announced over the P. A. systems, accompanied by choice bits of identification. Xmas vacation brought another party, with Yulctidc spirit filling the house with the spicy fragrance of pine and holly, topping it all with a lovely tree. Grouped around the tree in the candlelight. Kappa sisters exchanged gifts and crazy verses amid shouts of laughter, razzing and good natured quibbling. Then the Kappas caught the “Mothers' Club Bug” floating around the campus in the best of fraternity circles, and giving a tea for their Mothers, urged organization for the good of all concerned. It was most successful, and the Mothers gave a Benefit Bridge in March as their first project and congrats for its success. Promoting good old Panhcl spirit, the Kappas attended a dance given them by friendly Thetas then a sudden visit from Kappa s National Field Secretary Marion Handy, put them all on their mettle. Came May, and talk centered about the Spring Formal held at the Field Club, 'til a busy year ended, and Kappa delegates packed their bags and dashed off to National Convention at Hot Springs, Virginia.

Shaffer PHI MU Saturdays arc just Saturdays to most of us, hut they're red letter days to the Phi Mu's with celebrations after every football game. The day Duquesne bowed the knee to the Panthers, the Phi Mu's gathered at Ann McAfee's and had an informal spread; the next week found them dining formally at June Shaffer's. After the Notre Dame game, the King Edward was the setting for a Phi Mu party, while the next Saturday found them dancing at another soror's home. An Alumnae Bridge at which the actives served as aides, broke the Saturday monopoly temporarily, but the following week found a Phi Mu buffet supper dance, with several first string football heroes present to add atmosphere. Home for Christmas vacation, several Duke sisters and alumnae were entertained at a luncheon, where comparisons of schools fell fast and thick, each group loyal to their own, and no casualties reported. Webster Hall housed the Winter Formal, where Phi Mu's and their sweethearts danced in the newly decorated Blue Room of the Hotel. February brought a Valentine party at the home of Dorothy Marshfield. Here a treasure hunt, limited to the boundaries of the house, started a riotous search for clues, until after the treasure was found, the weary searchers settled in easy chairs and played Woo-Woo a new game which claims as the winner, the man who makes the best public proposal after three tries. Entertained at a dinner by Phi Mu patrons, Mr. and Mrs. Engcldcr, and a visit from National Rushing chairman, Miss Emma Bald Reed, put them on their toes for national inspection. Pledging over, the Phi Mu's tore the last sheet from the social calendar for the year, and closed the books for three months of glorious vacation.

Receiving honorable mention for their Cleopatra skit in the Interfrat Sing Contest, the Phi Sigs adopted the idea from Emil Ludwig's book The Nile: in keeping with the Sphinx head of their pin and the pyramid background of Egypt. February issue of their magazine The Sphinx, scooped the Owl, featuring Phi Sig Idclla Rome, editor of Pitt's '38 Owl. Fall rushing centered around a beautiful formal tea at the home of Phi Sig patroness, Mrs. Benjamin Nciman. All decorations were in Phi Sig colors, gold and blue, with candle light heightening the general effect of subdued color and soft shadows. The Alumnae Bridge was held in the Hotel Schenlcy Patio and Conservatory, with the actives serving as aides, and luscious baskets of fruit were distributed as prizes by Mollic Levy, chairman of the affair. Xmas week found the Phi Sigs and their heart throbs dancing to the smooth rhythm of Dick Stabile and his band at the Italian Terrace, celebrating the Phi Sig's annual formal dinner dance. Spring rushing brought the traditional Sphinx Banquet, observed by chaprcrs all over the country, and Iota chapter true to tradition, held theirs at the Concordia Club. Risking their necks at a skating party, the Phi Sigs offered the Lexington crowd plenty of laughs, as they staggered around the floor, many of them on skates for the first rime since grade school days, but good naturcdlv taking the laughs, and throwing dignity to the winds. Spring Convention plans arc in mid-air, the Phi Sigs undecided whether to celebrate their Silver Anniversary at Atlantic City or New York our guess is that May will find them lolling on the white sands of the seashore.

Ammon THETA PHI ALPHA Away ahead of rhe other fraternities, the TPA's started out their year s activities with a picnic at Mary Jane Morgan's cottage in Ligonicr —a final summer outing before dashing back to registration. Moving into their lovely new house on the corner of Devonshire and Center Avenue, the tPA's entertained their Mothers' Club at a tea, and together mothers and actives worked out plans for the coming year Winter snows suggested the Winter Formal, held at the Italian Terrace the Monday before Xmas -everyone still in suspense as to gifts, wondering what the boyfriend had brought them, and half sorry they hadn't exchanged so and so's present. Then Xmas day an active Alumnae party was held at the house, everyone showing off their Xmas finery and exchanging 10 cent presents. During vacation TPA actives met in town to window shop and have lunch sec a show—meanwhile exchanging the latest tidbits of gossip and planning for the next social event. This turned out to be a party featuring Mr. Rcizcnstcin, a glass blower, who entertained the group with demonstrations and explanations about his work, much to their interest and admiration. President of the Senior Class, TPA, Irene Maroncy led the Heart Hop to success a charming dance, a charming band, and a charming girl. Friendly pals with Phi Kaps, most every dance finds members of the two frats twosoming,' particularly durinq men's rushing period. The Spring Formal in May wound up the TPA social calendar for the year, and set them packing shorts and swimming suits for summer camping at Ligonicr.

Excited Zctas crowded Stephen Foster theater this winter to watch their prexy star, lone Williams, shine in Pitt Players' production Fresh Fields. Adding this year's Interfraternity Sing Cup to its twin one last year, the Zcta mantel boasts quite a collection. In return for a dinner given the Thetas, ZTA's were entertained by the Kite wearers at a Kid Party, where both frat groups munched hot dogs and ice cream cones, while big appling to the sweet strains of the Thera's radio-victrola. Hallowe'en found the Zctas, shivering past clanking skeletons in dark corners, stumbling over a bloody corpse sprawled in the doorway and peering at each other through the dim candlelit rooms of their house. On a starlit night in November, ZTA's and their sweethearts bumped along highways on hay wagons, well bundled in blankets against the crisp night breezes, harmonizing Zcta songs, and finally winding up at a farmhouse where a chicken dinner and everything that goes with it, was served to the famished havriders. Drawing closer the tics between active and alumnae Zctas, the Alumnae entertained their younger sisters at various teas and parties, while both chapters turned out cn masse for the gala Winter Formal at the Churchill Valley Country Club. Bidding adieu to Senior graduates at their traditional Senior luncheon at the College Club, ZTA's presented their departing sisters with uuaint ZTA book-ends, then delved into plans for summer camp. The Spring Formal held at the Pittsburgh Field Club, climaxed the ZTA's social activities for the year. Then helping convention trotters on their way, the Zctas closed house for the summer, and departed, bound for vacation haunts. Member included in picture are: Custer. Goldvherry, V.

MofTatt, Potter FRATERNITIES COMPETE FOR ALL-POINTS CUP The strongest fraternal group on campus doesn’t have its own house, has only twenty-six members, and meets only once a month, but nevertheless guides the destinies of the other thirteen social fraternities. It is Interfraternity Council. Two representatives from each of the ■’thirteen” under the supervision of Robert R. Corley, Assistant to the Dean of Men, form this coordinating body. This year, fraternities entered IF competition with renewed vigor. Each wanted to be the first to win the giant bronze ALL-Points Cup and have their name inscribed on the first of its ten shields. Beginning this year, the trophy is awarded annually to the house amassing the highest number of points in interfraternity athletic and scholarship competition. With only half of the program completed, no fraternity has won more than one first place. Helping to keep the Kappa Sigs near the front was their victory in the volleyball tourney. The Lambda Chis left the Dclts holding the second place touch football cup, when they annexed the first place trophy for themselves. The Pi Lams came back in their old style to win the first semester scholarship race with a 1.68 average, and incidentally, more points toward the grand total. The last competitive cup awarded during the first semester went to the SAEs for winning the Sing, which was held in conjunction with the very successful IF Yule-tide Dance, chairmanncd by Jack Sigmon. Highlighting the interfraternity social season, the IF Ball flew higher than ever on the tails of the thirteen fraternity-colored kites decorating the William Penn ballroom. Chairman Ray Nordstrom imported Paul Pcndarvis- swaying rhythm, with gold pendant favors. IF Council expressed the opinion of the whole student body when it presented the Pitt Band with a cup in appreciation of its “loyalty and outstanding service to the University. Another progressive innovation was made by Intcrfratcmity Council when it arranged for the fraternities to subscribe to the leading educational and topical fraternity magazines. Even more successful than in former years, the coordinating body of Intcrfra-ternity Council closes its 1937-1938, secure in the knowledge that this has been one of its most successful years. 226 INTER FRATERNITY COUNCIL REPRESENTATIVES John H.

Gregory It was early registration for the Dclts last summer, when they signed up for their biennial convention quartered at the William Penn. The August weather was perfect for their summer night formals, stags, smokers, and down-river boat rides. The local Delta Shelter” is the headquarters for the largest trophy collection on campus. Even so, there is still a favorable Dclt” market for more cups; but they will have to build an annex to their old cup ease to house the newly won runner-up IF football and sing cups. Drinking glasses and cups were discarded for the good old pop bottle, when the Dclts and Dcltcsscs masqueraded for the Bowery Ball,” in February. This dance lacked the formality that made the Dclt's Spring Formal THE dance on the calendar. Private collections in the Dclt house include two ODK keys swinging respectively from Johnny Glasscr’s and Sam Werlinich's watch chains. Johnny earned his as prexy of Men’s Council and two years Bus Manager of Pitt’s humor mag; while Sam works behind an old oak in the office across the way, as business exec of the Owl. Bill Kunkcl, in addition to attending SFA meetings, helps Sam by signing up organizations for the Owl. The Dclts have another Panther pluggcr in circulation manager John Downic. The Pitt Band's strutting drum major, John ChclTcy, is the Dclt's high stepping prexy. During the Spring, John keeps his legs moving as a chorister in Cap and Gown. Another fast moving Dclt, Ernie Holmok, is the Owl's literary editor, while Naric and Holt, varsity pigskinners, join Bob Schrader, varsity swimmer, and ROTC's Major John Tredcnnick in helping to set the Dclts' pace. 228 KAPPA SIGMA President............Andrew C.

As an undergraduate, Bulgy Michcloscn was varsity quarterback for three years and this year was elected honorary captain of the country's number one team. In the fall his companion, Hensley, will be coaching the new crop of understudies at center. Andy Moffatt, otherwise known as the Kappa Sig Horatio Alger ran up the official fraternity ladder from social chairman, to secretary, and then reigned as president of his Dithridge St. house. On campus Mousetrap” Moffatt is known as treasurer of IF Council, bus manager of the IF Ball, Cap and Gowncr, and SFA social committeeman. The Kappa Sigs have as a brother the loveliest lady” in C G, Bill Hoevclcr. Bill has completed his third year of footlight basking. Off season. Bill is an active Pitt Player, member of IF Council, Men's Council, and docs a bit of he-man's work; on the Pitt wrestling team. Most of the fellows thumbed their way to Penn State for their Annual District Conclave. In the inevitable conclave bull session the local boys told their distant brothers of how they copped the IF volleyball and basketball titles and how they won the runnerupeup in outdoor track. While the Conclave was a climax to the Kappa Sigs local Winter Formal, it was only a preliminary to their biggest dance of all, the Spring Formal, a veddy veddy exclusive affair. The mothers of Kappa Sig have a fraternal order of their own and were instrumental in having the kitchen re-equipped and redecorated. 229 LAMBDA CHI ALPHA Members included in picture arc: Kepner, Phcnicie, McCamic, Willson.

Andrew Cleven The Lambda Chis arc still very much in the midst of campus life even though their house is way up on the hill. Ralph Dorand, as house prexy, divides his time and rhythm between swinging on his clarinet in the band and swinging at the other man in the ring. The house's enthusiasm for the mitt sport was shown when Jack Schrickcr, Pitt boxing coach, was made an honorary member. Jimmy Watson exhibits some of the same rhythm beating a drum in the band. The boys got away to a good start by taking first place in touch football. Jerry Mann stood out as the best man on the field and ended up an All-Fratcrnitv halfback. The social season of the hill toppers included two important dates the Spring Formal, at Churchill Valley Country Club and the wedding of Lil Abner” Danicll, last year's All-American brother. In the white collar activities we find Fred McCamic on the News staff with Clyde Haslet, forming the Lambda Chi delegation to IF Council. Haslet also represented the fraternity at their National convention in Toronto, last summer. Among the Lambda Chi Alphas arc John Thomas, a member of Sigma Tau and Sigma Gamma Epsilon, and Alex Willson, SFA, Druid, and uppcrclass councillor. Every meeting of Kappa Phi Kappa finds fraters Bob Cook and Ed Hefner answering roll call. The Lambda Chis arc quite proud of the initiation into their secrets of John Sargent, the son of the Grand High Zeta of the fraternity. 230 President............................Ciiarlks Wright Vice-President......

Reis, Barclay While Curly Stcbbins was running wild on the Pitt gridiron, his Phi Dclt fraternity brothers were doing a bit of scampering themselves, around other sectors of the Pitt campus. Chuck Wright was the prexy of fraternity presidents as head of IF Council. In addition. Chuck was dictator” of his own house for a year. In February, when Ted Lyons took over the Phi Dclt gavel, they were in the thick of IF competition. To make room on top of the bookcase for the newly annexed Scholarship and Indoor Track cups, Ted had to find another place for the runner-up trophy in Intcrfrat volley ball and the award they won last May in outdoor track. Lcttcrman Bob Dannies, who starts the ball rolling brother Curly's way on the gridiron, helps to keep the Phi Dclt ball rolling on campus. Beside being hailed as a brother in ODK, he is Vice-President and organizer of Men’s Council. Bcrnic Cashdollar, the proverbial campus smoothie, wears keys for membership on the Panther editorial board, representative in IF Council, and assemblyman in SFA. Other Phi Dclt footballers in addition to Curly Stcbbins, Pitt's crooning halfback, and Fumblcr Dannies, arc Chuck Fleming, Congo Fullerton, and Johnny Dickinson. Pitt's one man dating bureau. Bill J. Herbert” Angel, who was the spark of Phi Delt's rushing season, did a little sparkling of his own in the Glee Club. In December, the Iota brothers were hosts for the annual Phi Dclt Tri-Province convention, the guest of honor being Dean Hoffman, president over the national roster of 47,000 Phi Dclts, the largest group of fraters in the country. 231 PHI EPSILON PI President.......

Schmidt, Katz Running the gamut from the Stadium greensward to the William Penn Ballroom’s polished floor, the Phi Ep fraters led a full campus life this year. When the Panthers played football in Pittsburgh, the Phi Eps turned out cn masse to sit with a thrilled-full stadium and get an extra thrill as fratcr Marshall Goldberg, undisputed All-American halfback, led Pitt to the national gridiron title. When the Panthers stalked in out-of-town fields, Lester Hamburg, who headed the house and also sat in on the SFA exec committee, packed the boys into his high powered Buick and followed the team, but travelling closest to Biggie on all these football trips was Harold Klein, outstanding sophomore guard. The Phi Eps also had a personal interest in another campus activity. That was fratcr Bud Mayer’s very successful Junior Prom, whose Flower Ball theme gave Goldberg gardenias in January instead of the much discussed roses. Upholding the Phi Ep colors most effectively on the Cathedral’s eighth floor was Herbie RackofF, managing editor of the News and the Voice of Pitt, broadcasting over radio station KQV. RackofF handed over news copy to A1 Lasdav, who helped write the heads. One of the most vigorous workers around the refurnished Neville St. house was Jack Kotlcr, who found time to chairman IF athletics. Banqueted to the gills, Biggie Goldberg’s most savory dinner taste came when Phi Epsilon Pi honored him at a huge Hotel Schcnlcy testimonial banquet, to which leading sports enthusiasts were invited. 232 PHI GAMMA DELTA President....................Robert D.

Their Wallingford Street mansion is luxuriously furnished with leather furniture from top to bottom and the den is really conducive to a fraternity round table. The Fijis certainly have covered ground this year, especially Dick Mason, captain of the track-team, who, under the fine managership of Carl Ulrcv, won the 100 and 220 yard IG4A track championships. Managing is a Phi Gam specialty- Bill Stirling rates as both the Fiji house overseer and manager of the swimming team. He takes a fraternal interest in the accomplishments of the water splashers' ace diver, Steve Rodnok. The man commuting bareheaded between the Cathedral and Foster Memorial trying to get the official permish to hold dances in the latter building is another Phi Gam manager, Jim Davis business exec of Pitt's thespians. And as a Sophomore, Homer McClintock, the campus fashion plate, was a business manager, too, in charge of the ducats for the most successful Soph Hop. High pressured wrestlers Roofncr and Ray Dimit make it safe for brother Chuck Dimit to carry the chapter funds around with him. For a while, when he was bus manager, Chuck needed their help in guarding the IF informal money. During the remainder of the year he carried on in IF Council as Vicc-Prcxy. Four big Fijis standing in a row arc Glee Clubbers Ray Bender, Bob Aschom, John Danton, and John Wcrry, who was also in Cap and Gown as the masculine lead.

Besides being the varsity football manager, Spanky” was a two year gavel wiclder of ODK, Yicc-Prcx of SFA, and for the fourth season AI's chubby personality highlighted the Cap and Gown show. The Phi Kaps have two more ODK men, a fraternity high, in Jack Withum and Bill McKenna. A Lieutenant-Colonel in ROTC, Jack is also a Scabbard and Bladcr, a member of Pitt Players and Cap and Gown. Bill is active as manager of Doc Carlson's baskctccrs, a varsity tennis star, and an SFAcr, in addition to wearing a Scabbard and Blade pin. Early in the fall the Phi Kaps redecorated their house. The new red and green leather living room furniture exemplifying the happy holiday spirit which exists in their fraternity. Among the Phi Kap actives there arc thirteen varsity lettermcn. Heading the list arc footballers All-American Frank Souchak, also captain of the golf team, Dante Dalle Tczzc, John Urban, and Pitt's sensational Sophomore halfback. Dandy Dick Cassiano. Pat Cusick was king for a night as chairman of the Soph Hop; while Dalle Tczzc was Dictator for a week in Pickets Please.” This year's Cap and Gown business manager was a Phi Kap too Steve Rooney. But, the big apple of them all was Walt Susic-quc” Cavalier, a perennial shiner in Cap and Gown and Chairman of Pitt's truckingcst Cap and Gown dance. With all of these ace dancers it is little wonder that the Phi Kap's Shannopin Country Club spring formal was the tops. 234 PI KAPPA ALPHA President...............Frank H.

Leading the PiKA smoothies on campus and in the house is their prexy, Wes Thompson. Naturally the new floors made dancing in the house nicer than ever. With the soft dim light from the new indirect lighting fixtures cast on the recently papered blue and cream-colored walls, the frat took on the air of the Rainbow Room. One of the bright Lights in the PiKA house is Rav, who was vicc-prexv of CA and inherited the position of production manager of Cap and Gown from his fratcr Jack Spear, who resigned in favor of the footlights in the C G chorus. The last evening of school before the Yulctidc recess found the PiKAs gathered around a colored lighted Xmas tree, after a belt straining banquet, to exchange gifts and Marv Livingston poems. The brothers coming back after New Years were pleasantly surprised with a dance thrown by the PiKAIcts (pledges) to the tunes of Benny Goodman and Hal Kemp, by courtesy of their new phonograph amplifying system. Chairman of more school dances last year than any other Pittite was CA's prexy Ted Whitaker. When Ted was not leading the destinies of the CA, he had his hands full directing Pitt's 150 piece band. In the band following the beat of Ted's baton was fratcr and ODK man Frank Engel. In the PiKA house, though, the tables were turned; the house was Engel's castle, and he was king. Welcoming the band when it gave an intermission exhibition at one of the hockey games was Taylor Brittain, the hockey team's ace puckstcr. 235 PI LAMBDA PHI Members included in picture arc.

The now famous Pi Lam Blue and Silver Room together with other extensive innovations made their debut at an early November house warming, invites going only to faculty and student biggies. The year's most distinguished Pi Lam guest was the country's leading labor lawyer and Nation Award winner, Arthur Garfield Hays, who was tendered a testimonial dinner bv his Pi Lam brothers. According to the “Gamma Stigma, annual Pi Lam raz rag printed for their Westmoreland Country Club Spring Formal, the Pi Lams have some campus who's who. Co-editors of the raz rag Dave Grossman, and Jack Sigmon contributed their share to the Pi Lam glory as varsity football manager and chairman of the Yulctidc Festival, respectively. The Dithridge Street frat has a houseful of campus treasurers Milt Hansburg of Men’s Council, Harry Bash in CA, and Sammy White-man in Druids. Leading the Pi Lams is Jay Reich who is bus mgr. of Pitt's tri-weekly. Jay's chief understudy, News ad manager, F.d Horne moved into the Pi Lam house to take over the gavel as Rex.

By March, the boys were again singing a merry crescendo. Not only was the cup returned, but the lion-guarded house was quaking in its foundation after a whole week of silver anniversary celebration, featuring a banquet-dance. Yet the women's fraternities know the SAE's best for their excellent house dances. On eight different occasions the SAE's played host in honor of one of the campus sororities. At these affairs Ray Nordstrom was the all-round man, who later lead the IF ball and headed the SFA Appointments Committee. In addition, he is wearing keys from ODK, Sigma Tau, and Sigma Gamma Epsilon, and a varsity letter for his work as a Pitt harrier. The SAE's have more lettermen including Frank Patrick, Henry Adams, and Al Lczouski. With the coming of winter Patrick and Adams changed their football togs for basketball shorts and played on the Senior Football Players team. At the beginning of the second semester thirty-four actives elected Tom Roberts as the new SAE president and Don Joy as keeper of the treasury. Don, who is a dapper dresser, was a cartoonist for the Panther and wrote song script during the last two years for Cap and Gown. At the close of this year the SAE's had 112 chapters, the largest number in any national fraternity. 237 SIGMA ALPHA MU Members included in picture ire: Supowitz, V. Reiter, J.

Wintncr In September, the SAMs added the finishing touches to their modernly furnished house when they brightened up the front porch with a coat of yellow paint. But this has only been one of the many SAM accomplishments. The earnestness of their desire to win the IF Scholarship Cup was shown when they finished the first semester with a topping 1.66 average. The SAMs aren't quite satisfied; their goal is setting the all-time IF scholarship mark. While the Sammies spend a lot of time leafing texts, they still do many things to keep them in the campus eye. It isn't very hard to keep sight of Cap and Gowner and Sammie prex Jcrrv Black, whose (carth)quaking personality has also been a familiar figure around the shot-put pit and IF Council. Milt Hoffman, playing the queen in Pickets Please, was another easy to sec Cap and Gowner. Mirror surface is in abundance around the SAM house, especially with the addition of the bright surface runner-up Ping-Pong and Mushbail Cups. Pitt's most similar twins, Vic and Joe Reiter, were largely responsible for the annexation of both cups. And mainly through the efforts of Vic, Pitt now can boast of a very competent table-tennis team. In a house of scholars, social activity found a very prominent place. Many of the innovations at the Sammies June evening country club Spring Formal were Cleveland born; imported from the very novel and fast stepping tea dances and formals on the crowded SAM's National Convention calendar. 238 SIGMA CHI President..................

From appearances, no one would ever know that the Sigma Chis arc the oldest national fraternity on campus; since the house resembles a furniture store's model room. The Sigma Chis claim that their novel study room arrangement is responsible for their fast climb up the fraternity scholarship ladder. Another bit of Sigma Chi Hash was displayed one Saturday morning when brothers Cliff Allen and Bob Grant made the famed Dithridgc St. dash to determine who was the house Mercury. But the real speedster was the nation's number one junior outboard motorboat star, Bob Heap. Pitt's Astaire and Rogers duo, Larry Orr, another motorboat champ, and Joan Young highlighted last New Year's Eve floor show at the Schcnley with a big ' Big Apple.” Other thespianic Sigma Chis include Pitt Players' high flying lead in Ceiling Zero,” Earl Rilcv, and his co-pilot, Austin Hav. Student stadium goers know Earl as Pitt's head cheer leader; while, Sleepy Austin, far from a socialslitc, stood out as the Glee Club's leading warbler. The Sigma Chis displayed their never sav die spirit by electing Republican Hoover to be president. Of course, his first name is not Herbert, but George. Among the fraters is George Clifton, who is a pole vaultcr in his own right on the varsity track team. Like Robinson Crusoe, the Sigma Chis have their man Friday, a varsity Panther puckstcr. The passionate glint in the Sigma Chis' eyes when they sing their sweetheart song is inspired by their Sigma Chi sweetheart, Sonja Hcnic. 239 THETA CHI President...............................Thomas Bricker Vice- President..................Di xon Potter Secretary.........................Robert Jones Treasurer..................Robert Randolph Faculty Adviser......Mr. Stephen J.

That same red sign might mark many of the fraternity contributions to the campus, too. For years the High C in Glee Club has worn a Theta Chi pin, and this year was no exception, for Tom Brickcr, house prexy, carried on tradition by wielding the gavel as Glee Club president. Working with Brickcr was Bill Wolfe, the Glee Club's manager and secretary of Theta Chi. Two members of this house arc well-known to football fans: Bill Daddio, one the nation's finest football ends, and good-natured Johnny (Chick) Chickcrnco, who has earned his varsity post as quarterback against the stiffest kind of opposition. Varsity backficldcr Larry Peace also signed in as a pledge at the Dithridgc Street house this year. Varsity P wearer, too, is Pete Bennett, Coach Carlson's ace high-jumper. I. C. 4A indoor champion in his sophomore year, Bennett will again be after the title this spring. This spring will find the entire house ready to defend a championship, too. The coveted trophy for the sweepstakes, biggest event for fraternities in Spring Festival, went to that house in 1937, and, according to the Theta Chis, there's an empty place on the mantel waiting the 1938 first place cup. 240 To THOSE who have made the goal of all undergraduates, a Varsity P,” and to those who possess neither emblem nor insignia, but only the realization that they, by their efforts, have made the Varsity possible -to P men and scrubs” alike, we dedicate this section of the Owl. Then the ATHLETES ATHLETICS AT THE UNIVERSITY With rhc winning of eight titles hv five of its teams, with the establishment of a new simon pure” athletic code, and with the outbreak of several rumors in the football and basketball departments, the University of Pittsburgh's 1937-38 athletic year can safely be called successful, dramatic, and spicy. ()f the championship winning teams, Jock Sutherland's footballers can be given first place, with three crowns. John McSorlcy's first year hockcy-ites come next with two honors, followed bv the boxing, swimming and basketball squads of Jack Schrickcr, Pat Corr, and Dr. H. C. Carlson respectively, with one championship apiece. The Blue and Gold's football season was outstanding, not only to Pittsburgh fans, but to the entire United States as well. The leading papers in the country proclaimed the undefeated Suthcrlandcrs ''the most powerful bulk of football machinery during 1937 and then followed through by naming them mythical National Champions. As branches of this National Championship, the Eastern Championship and City of Pittsburgh Championship were also granted rhc Panthers. Marshall Goldberg, junior left halfback from Elkins, W. Va., was named the champions' champion, or in other words, almost countrv-widc unanimous selection for All-American rating. Displacing basketball as the second ranking sport to football, the hockey team defeated its league opponents. Tech and Duquesne, enough times to win the City and Eastern Championships. This year was the first that Pitt has been represented 244 on rhc hockey ice. Keeping up the traditional Pirt habit of winning championships, the swimmers captured the Eastern Championship, the boxers easily pointed their way to the Eastern Intercollegiate Title, and the baskctballcrs, despite a poor season in general, managed to just win the City of Pittsburgh Championship. All of this was rather usual. But when, early in February, rhc Board of Trustees handed down a code for the conduct of athletics at the University of Pittsburgh, Pitt had something new. Briefly, the new program docs two things. It codifies the eligibility rulings and, secondly, it sets up a new administrative bodv for the enforcement of that code. Under the first division, there arc clauses which taboo all forms of recruiting, restrict practice sessions to two hours daily, eliminate all direct subsidization, discourage any alumni help, and require advancement in class bv each athlete. Several regular members of the football squad were banned from spring training this year due to one or two of the above clauses. Administration of these rules has been put into the hands of a new governing agency, known as the Faculty Committee on Athletic Policy, which replaces the old Council. If one were to tabulate rhc rumors regarding Pirt Athletics for 1937-38, he'd probably have to set up a Series A, B, etc. and numerous subdivisions and then he might not have them all. Sports at Pitt this year were indeed successful, dramatic and spicy. 245 '37 PANTHER GRIDIRON SEASON TOPS The Pitt Panther Official Mascot THE triple-threat stars of 1937 arc the Pitt Panthers. Picked almost unanimously as the foremost grid machine of the United States during the past season, Or. Jock Sutherland's squad lived up to pre-season predictions and accomplished what few championship-bound elevens have done in the past: won nine and tied one, during a ten game schedule representing the best in all parts of the country, over opponents, in each ease, shooting the works” to upset what they considered their toughest and most eminent foe of the year. As tokens of its ratings, the squad received the City of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce trophies for the city title; the Lambert Trophy, for the second successive year, in honor of the sectional title; and the Dickinson trophy, presented by the Four Horsemen, for the mythical national championship. At the conclusion of the pigskin term, the squad rejected a feeler, which was believed by many to be an introductory flourish, to a second consecutive Rose Howl bid for the Panthers. In addition, as a result of the fine season, Coach Sutherland's all-time grid record in his fourteen years at the University was brought up to 103 victories, 18 losses, and 11 tics. Furthermore, many individual stars of this aggregation placed on numerous all teams, chief of which was the naming of Tony Matisi, of Endicott, New York, and Marshall Goldberg, of Elkins, West Virginia, on the All-American Board's All-American eleven.

Dickinson PITTSBURGH 59, OHIO WESLEYAN 0 In rheir usual opening-game spree on September 25. the University of Pittsburgh footballers soaked Ohio Wesleyan with a dripping fifty-nine to nothing defeat. An unknown quantity previous to the first contest, because of the abandonment of the annual football camp. Dr. Sutherland's Panthers announced their intentions to football writers all over the country by counting nine touchdowns and five conversions with surprising dispatch for an early season test. First press notices of the year headlined ''Dandy Dick Cassiano, sophomore, who ran touchdowns four times on successive dashes of forty-eight, twenty-one, sixty-six, and forty-six yards, in addition to throwing completed passes twice in three attempts. Others who each tallied six-pointers included Stapulis, Goldberg, Peace, Patrick, and Dickinson. Merkovsky place-kicked extra points twice, while Daddio, Souchak, and Farkas each registered one conversion. The Blue and Goldcrs ran power plays” for four hundred and one yards to their opponent's four yards through scrimmage. PITTSBURGH 20, WEST VIRGINIA 0 In contrast to their touchdown party the previous week, the Pitt Panthers were held to six points for three quarters before they were able to unload two quick fourth period touchdowns. Two placement kicks by Elmer Mercovskv, a touchdown bv Johnny Urban, and two by Curly Stebbins made the twenty-point total for the winners. Battling against what was reputedly the strongest team to represent W. Y. U. in the last decade, Pitt went scoreless until late in the second half, when Urban cut back of left tackle to begin a thirty yard touchdown dash. Prodded by determined Mountaineer offense, Pitt was forced to increase its lead. Result: two more touchdowns and another victory. 247 PITTSBURGH 6, DUQUESNE 0 The Pitt footballers cut themselves a sweet piece of revenge pic on October 9. In a game which brought more satisfaction to the team, officials, and student body than any other contest during the season. Dr. Sutherland's gridders scored a great team victory over Duquesne, six to nothing, before sixty thousand divided rooters. Won under miserable, rainy conditions, the victory marked the first step toward the city title, and the return of some pride lost to the Hi I! toppers last fall. Boasting the pre-game cry, We'll stop Goldberg! , the Duquesne rooters and team were bewildered and likewise embarrassed when, carrying the ball for the first time, Biggie” tore through right tackle, and sped 77 yards for the lone score of the game. Fumbling and faulty center work, probably due to the unusual weather, slowed up both teams. Oddly enough, the game exactly duplicated weather and playing conditions of the year before, with the Pitt team winning by rhe same score by which it had once losr. PITTSBURGH 0, FORDHAM 0 Newsreel houses and photographic sections of newspapers had a great time following the Pitt-Fordham doughnut-center contest showing how Pitt scored but didn't make a touchdown against the Gotham Granite. With thirty seconds remaining in the first half, Srebbins tm the Ram five yard line, reversed to Goldberg, who ran off right tackle untouched for what the jammed Polo Ground assembly thought was the first score in three years of Smoky City and Forty-Second Street football. The referee ruled that Matisi was holding on the play; the score was nullified; the Sutherlands were penalized fifteen yards; and football experts throughout the country have had something to talk about ever since. A Ford ham offensive which began early in the first quarter ended on the Pitt forty-three, but a fumble in the second period allowed Captain Druzc to attempt a field goal from rhe twenty-five. It was low. The third quarter brought three more unsuccessful three-point attempts, two bv Fordham from the ten and eight yard stripes respectively, and one by Bill Daddio from the Fordham twenty-four. The Pitts ended with twice as many stick-movers as the Rosc-Hillcrs, but no score in their onlv tic of the season.

The game marked the completion of the first half of the Pittites' schedule, with Dr. Sutherland's boys still unscorcd upon. A Blue and Goldberg march of sevcntv-ninc yards in the first period brought the initial touchdown, with Biggie getting loose on consecutive gains of one, six, five, twenty-nine, and a payoff tackle gallop of six yards. On the second plav of the next half Marshall was off again by route of Wisconsin's left tackle to the goal line sixty-four yards away. Late in this same period, Dick Cassiano, Goldberg's replacement, took a lateral pass from Frank Patrick and sprinted seventy-three yards through an open field for the third score. Daddio placckickcd the three conversions. Pitt's superiority was demonstrated in the final statistics showing three hundred and fifty-two yards from scrimmage against thirteen for the Badgers, with fourteen first downs to three. Just Another Saturday PITTSBURGH 25, CARNEGIE TECH 14 Winning for the nineteenth time in twenty-four tries, Pitt also annexed the city championship for 1937 bv defeating Tech. The big Plaid ream, however, was the first to score against Pitt in the current schedule . . . secondary proof, at least, showing that the brand of football they played was in line with the best traditions of the Pitt-Tech football feud. Frank Patrick plunged two yards for the first six points after Lezouski's block of Lee's punt which Dclich recovered, shortly after the opening kickoff. But a Scotty touchdown, result of a 21 yard aerial from Moroz to Kopesak, and Kopesak's place kick conversion, gave the Techites a 7-6 advantage until 15 seconds remained in the half. At this point, Frank Souchak toed a perfect placement kick field goal from the 25, and all the Panther rooters were able to enjoy their hot dogs and coffee during intermission time because their favorite warriors were ahead, 9-7. Seven minutes after the third quarter kickoff, Patrick, Cassiano, and Stebbins had ploughed 80 yards for another six points, with Pat again receiving the point honors I are fell on a bad center pass back of his own goal line for a Pitt safety, and Johnny Urban shot a long, hard one down the center to Ed Spotovich for another touchdown and the end of Blue and Gold scoring for the day. Tech tallied again in the closing minutes of plav on two passes to Rosenthal for gains of 50 and 4 yards. 249 PITTSBURGH 21, NOTRE DAME 6 The Notre Dame and Pittsburgh football series ended with this game, but Norre Dame probably wishes now that the contract had terminated last fall. Elmer Layden's Irish were just unfortunate enough to be the battlefield on which the Panther bombshell exploded this year, firing away 21 points in 11 minutes of the final period, after allowing the heirs of Rocknc to enjoy themselves with a six-point lead. After a scoreless first half. Jack McCarthy caught the Pittsburghers off balance with a high heave down the center to Andy Pupulis, who pulled in the oval on the Pitt 30 and scampered off to the first touchdown. This was the button that turned on the Sutherland power plant, and what followed is being remembered by many as the greatest exhibition of football momentum ever generated in Pitt history. A pass, Goldberg to Hoffman, the longest complete pass that Biggie had ever thrown, set the stage for a Patrick line buck for a touchdown. The Pitt team moved 67 yards in seven line plays, with Stebbins reversing 26 yards for the second touchdown. After a Pitt kickoff, Stebbins intercepted a Notre Dame pass. In two plays, Goldberg and Patrick drove 42 yards for the final touchdown. Souchak converted after each touchdown. Frank Patrick, fullback Dante Dai.lb Thzze, Guard John Michbloskn, Quarterback Tony Matisi, Tackle PITTSBURGH 13, NEBRASKA 7 It was a Pittic. That is, it must have been for the Cornhuskers who came all the way from Lincoln, Nebraska, with no defeats and high aspirations for a national title, but who, nevertheless, went the way of all teams who had scored on Pitt first this fall. An overflow crowd of 71,000, necessitating field bleachers, watched the Golden Cat on one of its best days. Two great lines clawed at each other throughout the first half, with the Pitt forwards giving probably their outstanding performance of the year. A Pitt punt set the stage for some Nebraska razzle-dazzle and then touchdown. Stapulis booted from his own 14 to the enemy 40 where Harris Andrews caught it, ran towards the north sidelines, and slipped the ball to Jack Dodd, who was running the opposite direction. Dodd kept running for 60 yards and, after English converted, the Nebraskans went wild with championship visions. But again, as in the previous week, this was merely a signal for the Pitt Juggernaut to roll. Frank Patrick bucked over the last yard for an 80 yard march, during which there were no passes. Souchak's conversion attempt hit the upright and the Blue and Gold had ten minutes left to get ahead. Aided by a Nebraska fumble, Stebbins, Cassiano, and Stapulis went 33 yards in three plays for a Pitt victory, with Stapulis scoring. 250 PITTSBURGH 28, PENN STATE 7 The Pitt Powerhouse, deciding it would go easy on the nerves of its coach and the student body, went out and steamrollered two first quarter touchdowns and two extra points, and then coasted through to a 28-7 victory over the finest Penn State team to visit the Stadium in a decade. In contrast to the previous three weeks of thrill touchdowns for victories, the Suthcr-landcrs sent Curly Stebbins over for a score early in the first quarter on the tail of a 55 yard march, and not many minutes later Marshall Goldberg scored after another 55 yard tear and wear. The second team in the next period for Cassiano to execute the nearest play of the contest, a 79 yard run for another touchdown, and the Pittites left the field at half time 20 points to the good. West Virginia Marshall scored once more in the fourth period after Sidney Alter had taken a pass for State's only points in the third frame. PITTSBURGH 10, DUKE 0 The 1937 Pittsburgh Panthers closed one of the outstanding grid chapters in the University's history by converting two first-half fumbles into as many scores to win over Wallace Wade's Duke Blue Devils, 10-0, in a muddy, rain-drenched contest. Held out of Duke territory by Tipton's longdistance, bouncing punts, Pitt was repeatedly forced to run two or three plays and then send Frank Patrick back to boot. On the fourth of this rather monotonous series of punt exchanges, Honey Hackney fumbled a Patrick punt on his own 20 yard line and Souchak recovered. Souchak, with Goldberg holding the ball, connected with a perfect three-point placement from the 23 yard line to give the Northerners a first quarter advantage. In an almost similar setup in the next period, but staged this time bv the second team, Hackney, once more the victim, fumbled Bill Stapulis' kick on the Duke 14 and Ed Spotovich recovered for Pitt. Dandy Dick Cassiano cut through left tackle on the next play for the six-pointer and Souchak returned to the game to kick the goal. Riid Scott, Guard UW I % Job Garcia, Center BASKETBALL QUINTET CAP Pitt's 1937-38 basketball campaign, which was chiefly engineered by five seniors, was, in a relative way, lukewarm. There are no seasons within contemporary recollection that the Pittmen favored the debit column. In twenty-one contests, fourteen of them on foreign floors, the Blue and Gold hoopsters bowed twelve times and played to only nine happy endings. The only bright colors in this comparatively dismal picture of the court sport, which finds its final resting place in Coach Dr. H. Clifford Carlson's office in Falk Clinic, arc the City League Chamipon-ship and the tie for third place, with Georgetown, in the Eastern Conference. Pitt played wobbly ball in their struggle to retain the City cup. Dr. Carlson, having had his famous Win 'em all ultimatum deflated during the early season Western jaunt, did away with his figure-eight'' floor style and inaugurated the Elimination Offense.” The new system never matured. 252 Myi.ks Ziii.b'ZNiK, Forward Rags Radvansky, Forward TURES CITY CHAMPIONSHIP Duqucsnc's five opened the City series at the Stadium and displayed plenty of fight, but fell before the true basket shooting of Myles Zelcznik, who was the Panther spark all season, 35-2S. Tech's classy young cagcrs, favored to win the local title, gave the Oakland veterans a nervous and strenuous evening, but finally had to yield to the Pitr players' better hoop eves, 36 to 30. In the second half of the Pittsburgh race the Panthers were surprised by a much smoother clicking Duquesne club than they had encountered earlier in the campaign. The quint from the Boulevard of the Allies stormed the Pitt buckets for 39 points, while the Panthers were able to draw only within two marks of the Hilltoppcrs. This game was a scorcher all the way, reminiscent of the uncomfortably close tilts waged bv these natural enemies in past years. Duke's win over Pitt threatened to shift the City League into a triple tic, since Carnegie was counted (CoMtnutd S’fXt Pagt) Ed Spotovicii, Guard 253 Bob Johnson, Guard Pitt-Tcmplc Basketball Fray BASKETBALL TEAM SCORES NINE VICTORIES on to humble the Cathedral courtmcn in their scheduled meeting a few days later. But the unexpected happened in the Carnegie clash. The Panther baskctccrs, led by Captain Bob Johnson and Eddie Spotovich, played the smart, snappy type of ball Pitt teams arc widely known for. Their spirited guarding and ambitious follow-up of every shot netted them a decisive victory over the Plaid, and, more important, the City crown. Considering the Pitt schedule, twenty-one games, fourteen of them away; and what went with it, one hard stretch coming during the mid-semester examinations, the installation of an undeveloped new system, and a scarcity of relief material. Dr. Carlson's veterans did a good enough job. The Oakland athletes can sit back and enjoy some measure of satisfaction from non-league skirmishes, even though they did lose the majority of their matches. They were at their best the nights they topped Syracuse and Northwestern, two of the nation's leading quints, and only Notre Dame's great court club set the Blue and Gold warriors back hard. In most of their defeats the Pitts missed the favored side of the score bv only one, two, three and four points. 254 Dr. H. C.

With a very tough indoor schedule through which to wade. Panther track prospects looked bleak. However, the rapid development of a group of sophomore track stars, during the months of January and February, turned the track house and track training quarters into a brighter place. Second year men Frank Oh I, AI McKee, Al Ferrara, Johnny Bazyk, and Bud Hafer appeared to score points and ease the situation. OhI, McKee, and Ferrara teamed up with striding Johnny Woodruff to form a mile relay ream, which is one of the best in the country and a constant threat to the world record. This quartet ran off with the four indoor mile relay titles, the IC4A, the Central Intcrcollcgiatcs, the Butler Relays, and the West Virginia Relays. In collecting these titles, the mile relayers had to beat the other top-notch quartets of the East, West, and Far Western universities. Sophomores Johnnv Bazyk and Bud Hafer handled the shot putt events. Hafer didn't compete in many indoor events, but Bazvk traveled with the team to capture a second place in the Butler Relays and a third at South IVend in the Central Intercollegiate competition. In both instances Bazyk stacked up against world champions. Frank OhI and AI McKee left the mile quartet long enough to score points in other events. McKee is a quarter milcr of great promise, and during the IC4A meet ran the 600 meters within 2 seconds of world record time. OhI is the best broad lumper on the squad and doubles up to enter and usually place in the dash events. During the Central Intcrcollcgiatcs, Butler Relays, and West Virginia Relays, OhI captured the broad jump event and placed in the dashes. Striding Johnny Woodruff met trouble during January and February. His first time out, during the Millrosc games, Johnny trailed home sixth in the half mile run, and track critics concluded that Woodruff was not suited for indoor running. Johnny was not in top condition and spent the rest of January and all of February an- 256 INDOOR TRACK STARS IN THE LIMELIGHT choring the relay team and keeping out of all other competition. However, in the Central Intcrcollcgiatcs, the Conncllsvillc fiver again toed the line and dashed off with the quarter and half mile runs, and repeated his half mile victory in the West Virginia Relay. Ken Ryden, ace high and low hurdler, wrenched a leg muscle and spent most of the indoor season on the sidelines waiting for the coming of spring and the outdoor season. And Pete Bennet, high jumper, spent the earlier part of the indoor season waiting for an injury to heal. Bennet reentered competition with a win of the high jump during the Central Intcrcollcgiatcs, was third in skimming over the bar in the Butler Relays, and again headed the class in the West Virginia Relays. Captain Edgar Dick Mason, Sprinter, found indoor running not to his liking. Mason shows to better advantage outdoors and spent most of the time working out the leg kinks for the outdoor season. Dick- entered the West Virginia Relay and dashed away to a second place. Ed Routch, Frank Kristi, broad jumpers and dash men, George Clifton and George Dines, pole vaultcrs, all were point getters and handy men in the meets. Thrice the team traveled to New York during the Indoor season for the Millrosc games, N.Y.A.C. games, and IC4A, and each trip proved unhappy as far as team results were concerned. The Panthers started to hit a winning stride at the Central Intcrcollcgiatcs and won second place from a field of fifteen strong western track-teams. The following week Pitt again invaded the Mid-West for the Butler Relays and finished fifth beating out powerful squads from the Big Ten and surrounding territories. A second place in the West Virginia Relays wound up the indoor festivities, and the Panther track team faced the outdoor season with a respectable indoor record and brilliant prospects for a R«la outdoor season. 257 VARSITY BOXERS SCORE A much improved Pitt boxing squad scored an easy knockout as it won the Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing Conference without registering an official point. In the elimination heats on the day before the championship finals at West Virginia on March 19, the Pitt punchers won places for six representatives in the eight hours to lx- staged the next day. Assured of eighteen points by merely placing the men in the official bouts, and since no other squad had secured enough places to assure itself of over fifteen markers, the University of Pittsburgh was declared official champions before the fights even started. But the Panthers did more than merely go through the motions the next day. Jed Curtzi and Ray Bombe boxed their way to point decisions, thereby annexing individual titles in the 145 and 155-pound classes, at the same time raising their team's total to twenty-two points. West Virginia, Bucknell, and Temple finished in a three-way tic for runner-up honors, each with thirteen points. Washington and Jefferson College, the only other member school represented, was last with three points. Ralph Durand, Pitt's defending bantamweight champ, was eased out of his title in the elimination round by ‘■Red” Glenn, of Temple. At an official meeting held prior to the staging of the finals, Pitt’s Jimmy Hagan, director of athletics, was elected president of the Conference for the next year. In dual meet competition this year, the Panthers won three and lost four. Johnny Wargo, 135-pound belter, won all seven bouts in his division, but lost his first contest to Stevie Stefanou, of Bucknell, in the championship finals.

In other words, for the third consecutive year, the Pitt Panther gets off his wrestling mat without having a victory to show for his efforts. After coming up second best in dual meets for two years, Coach Ed Mazeski's gruntmen, captained hv Rudv Tomarclli, were expecting to win at least one match this season. But the 1937-38 record shows losses to Franklin and Marshall, 32-0; Case, 19-9; Temple, 23-11; Kent State, Ohio, 28-0; Waynesburg, 24-8; and West Virginia, 34V£-lJ £. However, if one is looking for consolation, he finds it in comparing this year's point scoring record and last year's. The Panthers totaled 29 points to their opponents' 130Yi in six matches this season, while their predecessors pointed only 28 to their foes' 144 in (itt meets last season. In addition to Tomarclli and Harry Roofner, Frank Kristufek, a sophomore, who is Senior A.M.A. champion, starred for the matmen.

Prior to this meet at New Brunswick, the water Panthers had annexed the Eastern Intercollegiate title, in addition to running up a dual meet record of five wins and one loss. The Pittmen's toughest dual meet of the season came as the last one, after five successive victories, against National Intercollegiate runnerup, Ohio State. Although score hooks record the meet as a lop-sided 60-15 walkaway for the Ohioers, actually, competition in the individual contests was close. In most of the events, the hoys had the judges scratching their heads to determine a winner. Milt Lcdcrstcin, Pitt's chief hope for first places, failed to appear for competition, reporting a heavy cold and an injured foot. Pitt became Eastern Champions at the annual meet of the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming Association in the Metropolitan Club pool on March 13. The Panthers Happy Landings! scored forty points, followed by Rutgers, the pre-meet favorite, 25 points; Franklin and Marshall, 24; Western Reserve, 17; and Lehigh, N.Y.U., C.C.N.Y., and Carnegie Tech, each with a few points. The tankers' dual meet record this year is definitely better than last season's, when the swimmers tallied a five-victory, three-loss rating. Corr's men's most convincing win this year came in the first meet, on January 29, against Slippery Rock, 54-0.

The Blue and Gold hockey squad, giving Pitt a representative in the ice-skating sport for the first time in this 1937-38 season, joined the veteran football, basketball, boxing, and swimming teams in the habit of winning a championship or two per year. The hockcyitcs became 1938 champions of the city of Pittsburgh and of the Eastern Division of the Ohio-Pcnnsylvania Intercollegiate League. John McSorlcv, Notre Dame, coached the twelve-man squad, which played all its home games on the Duquesne Garden ice. After winning nine, losing three, and tying one in league and extra-league competition, the Blue and Goldcrs qualified to meet Duquesne for the city and eastern title. Playing under the regulation that the team totaling the greater number of points in a two-game series would be declared winner, the Panthers lost the initial game to the Dukes, 1-0, but led by Captain Bob Schoolcy, who registered all the tallies, came back to convincingly beat the Hilltoppcrs, 3-0. READY, AIM, FIRE Pirt's crack Rifle Team, attracting little attention from the average student, other than the noise it made while practicing at the Stadium, turned in a top-notch performance for the second consecutive year, under the direction of Captain D. M. Mitchell. Displaying their shooting ability in eleven meets from December 4 to March 26, the gunmen gained first places many times, over such competition as Lehigh, St. Johns, Johns Hopkins, Drcxcl, Pennsylvania, Penn State, and other large universities and colleges. Last season the Panther riflemen tied Carnegie Tech and Cornell for first places in the Allegheny Intercollegiate League, won second place in a national rifle tournament conducted by a newspaper chain, and tied the University of California for fourth place in the shouldcr-to-shouldcr matches run off at Annapolis. Crack Riflemen 261 A WORLD OF SPORTS The ping of tennis rackets as white balls sail across tennis courts- the swish of basketballs through hoops—the dull thud of stick against ball in a hockey game, characterize women's activities in the field of sports at Pitt. Athletics for women arc optional; but if a student decides that she wishes to include sports in her activities, there arc many opportunities available for her to do so. The Women's Athletic Association makes sports available for women students who want athletics as an extra-curricular activity. This year, in addition to its regular meetings, this organization sponsored play-days at the gvm and week-end outings at Laurel Ridge where the girls did everything from horse-back riding and hiking to fighting snowball battles, their choice of fun depending upon the season of the year. Because they arc not allowed to enter activities until their sophomore year, freshman women arc not permitted to become members of the W.A.A. Sponsored for freshmen as a substitute for this association is the sports unit whose activities arc very similar to those of the W.A.A. This year as previously, the unit met at the Trees Gymnasium on Friday afternoons during the activities hour; and the girls played ping-pong, badminton, basketball, and volleyball. During the winter, a swimming party to which all the other units were invited was held at the gym. In May, the unit sponsored a play-day for all the units. Hockcyitcs 262 — AND WOMEN For the girl who wishes to make physical education part of her regular curriculum, the University has offered for many years an excellent course in this field. This course requires four years of sports. In her freshman year, the would-be phys. cd. takes the regular course in physical education offered to all freshman women so that she may become acquainted with the fundamental rules of all sports. Games arc discontinued during the sophomore year while swimming, calisthenics, stunts, and social dancing arc practiced for grace and poise. The women’s and men’s classes arc combined. It is not unusual to see a tall, burly football man and a slim young sophomore playing London bridges Falling Down. The learning of such games is required so that these phys. cds. may know how to teach such games to children in elementary schools. Setting Up F.xcrciscs Love Set The girls arc ready for special techniques and rules in all sports when they have reached their junior year. Both tap and social dancing become a part of their class work. Bv this time, they have learned how to swim and arc passing their junior and senior life-saving tests. During their final year, physical education students spend parr of their time practice teaching and the remainder in reviewing all sports, dances, games, calisthenics, and life-saving. At the end of her senior year, each phys. cd. possesses such grace and poise as to set an example of what clean living, exercise, and good health can accomplish and leaves school a far different girl from the awkward, young freshman who climbed the hill to the gym four years before. 263 Dazzling dances, sparkling shows, merrv music ... the spice of Life at Pitt . . . departure from long, black nights of study . . . tedious tests . . . just memories of '38. 937-38 During the PROGRESS OF THE UNIVERSITY “Ever upward . . . until education expands above the clouds into the light of culture, has been the object and trend of the University. During the past year Pitt has progressed educationally, administratively, and physically, in its endeavor to spread the light of the candle . . . scholarship ... to its students and community. Laying of the cornerstone marked the beginning of the interior completion of the Cathedral. The Commons Room, exemplifying inspiration, acquired its full dignity with the addition of its mood -expressive furnishings, the wrought-iron grill work and chandeliers, and the Hammond organ. Flagstones forming the floor have been smoothed and treated to bring out and preserve their natural color. The inspiration of the Commons Room carries over into the Nationality classrooms with an appreciation of man's cultural contributions as they have developed through the ages. In June, four of the rooms, the Swedish, Scottish, German, and Russian, representing national cultures from four different sections of the world, will be dedicated. The general atmosphere arising from the individual rooms shows that the appreciation of art is world-wide. The Swedish Room was dedicated asPitts-burgh's part in the three-hundredth anniversary of the landing of the Swedes in North America. With its painted walls and ceilings this classroom will tell the students of the dignity, gaity, reverence. 266 Heinz Chapel spire framed bv oak leaves. In the Alldred Room, the Women's Library, and the Law School classrooms, students lind opportunity for study and relaxation. NATIONALITY ROOMS NEAR COMPLETION and humor, that lie in the depth of the Swedish character. Rugged individualism is expressed by the furnishings in the Scottish Room. Dignity and culture arc shown by the carved coats of arms and inscribed quotations of Germany's greatest authors on the walnut panelled walls in the German Room. The spirit of youth going forth to fight evil is the message symbolized in the embroidered vishivka of St. George and the Dragon in the Russian Room. Continuing the idea of the nationality rooms is the Early American Room, opened last Spring on the rhird floor. Its low beamed ceiling, with the secret bedroom chamber above, contrasted with the Gothic height of the Commons Room, fits in with the attempt to show the expansion of culture and learning through the ages. Unfinished classrooms surrounding the Commons Room on the first three floors, characterized by “Pompeiian red brick, asbestos covered steam pipes, and galvanized iron ventilators, were prematurely put into active use. But these trivial hardships gave way to the realization that the students who only a few years ago sat in class with their overcoats on, shivering over their texts with the hope that some day Pitt would be a great University, arc now close to realizing their dreams. An understanding of the true feeling of being educated above the clouds, is found in the first lecture hall to be completed in rhe Cathedral, Room 132. Its bright spaciousness creates a feeling of expansion and freedom, eliminating the cloistered sensation of conventionally appointed classrooms. In this room education finds its true aesthetic environment. (Ctn inueJ Ntxr 267 R.O.T.C. and student ushers at Stephen Foster Memorial. A corner of the recently completed Fine Arts Library. Presenting Mrs. J. K. Miller, Commons Room hostess. Sunshine flooding the Fine Arts Library on the seventh floor. NEW QUARTERS IN THE CATHEDRAL Another graphic interpretation of how the Cathedral will look when it is completed is found in the seventh and nineteenth floors, finished this year. The calm, cool serenity of the indirectly lighted bluc-grav halls and corridors of the Fine Arts Department give a feeling of educational security. It is a great change to the swift moving atmosphere of the nineteenth floor where the blue, orange, and yellow decorations radiate the professional efficiency of the new offices of the Research Bureau of Retail Training. Although unfinished, the twelfth floor is being occupied by the Dean of Women's offices, the women's lounge, and the women's lunch room. The Dean's office was moved this year from Heinz House, the wooden structure which has been the center of women's activities since the World War. A general exodus of other departments and classes to the Cathedral took place. Alumni Hall, former classroom building, was completely vacated and remodeled to accommodate Pitt's expanding chemistry department. Some Business Administra- tion offices which had been in State Hall were transferred to the eighteenth floor of the Cathedral. The vacancies made bv these two departments were filled by one of the University's most progressive schools, the School of Engineering. To complete the centralization of all of Pitt's branches, the offices of the Bureau of Business Research, the only organization of its kind in Western Pennsylvania and one of the outstanding business bureaus in the country, were removed from the cramped environs of the old brick house next to Falk Clinic into new spacious quarters in the Cathedral. This year the University's great Medical Center, including Pittsburgh's largest hospitals, research laboratories, and clinics, is being enlarged by the addition of the new Western Pennsylvania Psychiatric Hospital. The land for the hospital was presented by the University to the state. As the old Y Hut stood on this ground it was necessary to raze it. Almost overnight, the Hut was dismantled and the foundation for the new hospital completed. The contractors plan to have the building open for use by the turn of the decade. 268 PLANS FOR CULTURAL CENTER MADE When the Hut was torn down, the Athletic offices, which were quartered there, had to he removed to the main pavilion of the Stadium. To complete the Medical Center's progress for the current year, the old Bureau of Business Research Building was converted into a home for the Falk Clinic nurses. Stephen Collins Foster Memorial was dedicated and opened to the general public and the student body for plays, concerts, and social gatherings. Fitting a surprising amount into such a small building, the Foster Memorial contains a large auditorium, stage, and the Foster Shrine and museum, offices of the Tuesday Musical Club, and a large ballroom. The Old Mellon Institute building, emptied by the removal of the Institute to its world famous new granite structure opposite the Cathedral, has been remodeled and will be shared jointly by the Schools of Dentistry and Medicine. To provide more conveniences for the students on campus, a Tuck Shop was opened on the ground floor. With the two lounges, the men's on the eighth floor and the women's on the twelfth, the Tuck Shop provides three eating places for the students in the Cathedral. The Evening School lounge in Room 144 offers a lunch counter and smoking room for the evening students. Another student service has been installed this year with the opening of the immense locker room on the ground floor. Continuing the Cathedral campus' metamorphosis, this year saw the completion of Heinz Chapel, with the installation of the stained glass windows. Pointing upward to a height equivalent to half the Cathedral, the spire of the Chapel was strengthened before these sixty foot windows, the world's tallest stained glass windows to be made in one frame were installed. Materially aiding in the upward climb by the development of the physical plant, Pitt has administratively moved forward by the addition of a new officer to the University, Provost Rufus Fitzgerald, who came here from the University of Iowa. The Provost acts in the capacity of a coordinating officer between the different schools of the University. Pitt has applied educational progress to its activities this year. The University gained national recognition when it endorsed a policy of deemphasis on intcr- (Cuntimad ntxi Pat ) Chem specials' private store room. Books on art arc available in the libraries. Exhibits of fine etchings arc displayed by students. Modern I y equipped laboratories aid the young scientist. 269 NEW UNIVERSITY SEAL ADOPTED scholastic athletics, placing Pitt among the few universities ranking intramural activities as part of the educational program. Another activity gaining national recognition in the held of education was the Pitt News, which early joined the United States Public Health Service's educational campaign against syphilis. Through the News's interest, the Student Health Service, in cooperation with the City Department of Public Health provided free Wasserman tests to two thousand students. The News also aided rhe Tuberculosis League by supporting a tuberculin test campaign at the University. During February the Phi Beta Kappa Reception was held, where outstanding students of the University were privileged to meet Dr. William A. Shinier, executive secretary of the United chapters of Phi Beta Kappa, who was brought to the University by the Phi Beta Kappa faculty members and the Student Faculty Association. With the adoption of a new school seal, the (lame of the lantern of learning shines as brightly in miniature as docs the real light of learning in our University. Dedication of the Scottish Room.

With Leonard Edge as their chairman, the committee got off to a good start by booking the William Penn Hotel for the night of December third. Perhaps that super publicity-sponsoring auditions for frosh talent did it. The fact remains, the Frcshics' dance drew the biggest crowd of the year. Even the Freshmen in all tneir confidence were surprised as they collected stubs, stubs, and more stubs at the door. Bucknell charm was imported for the occasion with Miss Virginia Strawn on Chairman Edge's arm, as the leading couple on the floor. Intermission,—then the Frosh Entertainment. First, Jerry Eisner, No. 1 campus crooner proved his reputation, then Adclc Yorio came through with an interpretation of Everybody Sint, that would have made Judy Garland look to her laurels if she had been present. Bill Vaughen concluded the program, and we’ll let you draw the conclusions when we say he now has the lead for Pitt's Cap and Gown Show! December still found The Big Apple leading all dances and true to tradition, some tireless Frosh shouted In the middle, and the war was on. They peeled and quartered, trucked to and fro, Suzv-Qued in the corners, kicked high and low. Seniors sagged into armchairs. Juniors headed for the scats, even Sophomores gave up bur the Frosh still continued their Truck on down ! But even the Freshmen go to bed sometime, and still fresh as a daisy, they rushed the elevator, and grabbed hats and coats, cracked upper-classmen on the shoulders confident in the knowledge of their dance's great success.

Dripping umbrellas shielding dainty feminine attire dashed madly into the William Penn lobby, their masculine owners then joining the damp procession to the already jammed checkroom, white tics straightened and small noses powdered, Soph Hop couples then headed for the main ballroom. Chairman Pat Cusick and attractive Betty Fagan greeted each dancer and presented him with a program—his fair partner, with the silver bracelet favor, crested with the University's new seal. Latecomers then joined the other dancers gliding around the floor to the smoothness of Charles Pallos’ music. Followed tangoes, waltzes, and rhumbas, but even Big Apple enthusiasts hastened to gather round the mike when Fred Waring and his Pcnnsvlvanians dropped in for a few minutes between performances at tnc Stanley, to harmonize on Were Working Our Way Through College . Then for about a half hour the dance became a pep” rally for the Nebraska-Pitt game the next day. First Fred Waring, then Sutherland and Goldberg, were cheered by the hilarious dancers, (much to the disgust of the bonfire enthusiasts on Ruskin field whose excitement, along with the fire had been put out by the rain!). Lights dimmed again—while dancers swayed tirelessly to the band’s sweet rhythm, murmuring comments on the band's smoothness, Fred Waring’s surprise performance and of the great success of the dance in general. All too soon, one o’clock rolled around, most couples slowly circling the floor, humming Good Night, Sweetheart , -the last dance of the night. But a few wise dancers slipped from the crowd and sought the checkroom snuggled into their wraps and were on their way to Childs, before the mob charged the checkrooms. Seated comfortably, they had the laugh on the other prom trotters who came dashing in later, vainly searching for tables; vet all unanimously agreed that the first formal of the year had proved one great big success.

You said it, Homer—the Flower Ball it is big name band and everything , said Bud Maver, chairman of the Prom, strolled away, leaving a visibly impressed Freshman to spread the glad news. Posters appeared on bulletin boards, stories crept into the News, and 'twas rumored a Tech gal had made the grade and would lead the dance. All rumors—no such thing, for January 14th found the annual Flower Ball in full swing. Corsages of every color, type and description, were there—from which each of the fair sex was to make her choice. Then ball favors of silver corsage pins bearing the Pitt seal topped each one—quite the tops, oh, but just Flower Ball style. Unique programs, small minaturcs of Life magazine, entitled Life goes to the Prom”, were handed each couple. The first pages featured single cuts oi Chairman Bud Maver and his Tech flame Hilda Boreman, the cuts of Business Manager Bob Dannies, and his partner Bobbie O'Donnell. Throughout the program ran stories and pictures of the various Prom committees, making it truly different from the usual type. But the main ball room proved a triumph in decorations. Delighted dancers found the walls covered with smilax and wax and crepe paper roses in crimson and gold, rich chrysanthemums in bronze, lemon yellow and russet. The gleaming satins and the lush velvets of the feminine dancers contrasting with the smart black and white of their escorts attire, the faint scent of the decorations, proved a worthy background for Bob Crosby's swing band. The success of t he dance exceeded even the committee's expectations for they ran out of both favors and programs by the middle of the evening. Bob Crosby was probably glad of the shortage, for he was kept busy signing programs all evening. Long before the evening was over it was quite evident that Pitt's traditional Flower Ball was here to stay. Member included in picture arc: Thomas, Kunkcl. Boreman, Mayer. O'Donnell, Dannies.

Once again Pitt’s beauty brought forth the most popular of Pitt ”cds to make their dance the tops. Chairman, Vivien Roberts, produced her fiance, Dick Bell (graduate of Princeton) to lead the Ball with her and swing along to the melodious accompaniment of the band. All the campus ”big-shots” and activity leaders were present whether in tux or formal to help make the evening an extra special one in fraternity traditions. Lucky Pitt males not only enjoyed a dance without flattening the old pocket book, but strolled the campus with wide open coats for the next week better able to sport the good looking silver tic clasps created with the Panhcl seal, even F. squire might envy. With sclf-satishcd smirks on their faces, they took pity on their less fortunate brothers, who hadn't rated a Ball bid, and spun many a yarn of the splendiferous evening beautiful gals and swell-elegant favors.

Cleverly (and invisibly) joined together, they were all attached to the all-point silver trophy,—subtle indication of each fraternity's do or die race for the coveted trophy.

Then fast music and believe it or not the scats looked absolutely forlorn they were so deserted; you could actually dance to the fast music, and swing those IF'crs certainly did. Around each feminine neck glittered a dainty gold necklace, the seal so cut that it caught the light in little sparkles as it moved—IF favors. Jammed into the elevators after the dance, a representative of each of the 13 houses, held his precious kite under his arm (much to the other occupants' discomfort)—souvenir of a perfect floor, a perfect orchestra—a perfect dance, this IF Ball. 291 MILITARY BALL FINANCE Chii’tHjn..............Willi am B.

You've guessed it Wayne King was the super attraction, with Val Garvin to help him out. We chiseled our ticket from a ROTC frat brother like everyone else, and together with most of Pitt's student body (at least it seemed that many) charged the William Penn “cn masse. The attendants gave one look at the approaching formation and ran for cover—even the elevator Boys hid in their cages. We didn't blame them—it would really take courage to face a mob composed of hundreds, each with a determined gleam in his eve, when you knew twenty was the absolute capacity of your elevator. Even special provision for checking on the first floor, necessitated a three hour (?) wait for the fair fern , while her escort battled his way down the line to deposit (20 cents, please) their wraps.

Of course we couldn't wait to open ours, so held up the rest of the line while we investigated, and found—a daintv white oblong compact crested with the military department's golden seal. Tucking it safely away in their escort's pockets, eager dancers pressed into the main ballroom and looked with dismay at the jam session milling about the floor. No one could dance, so we joined the others in shifting from one foot to the other, while ab- Chairman Joe Sobkoviak and Betty Teal, First Lady of the Ball Chairman......... ..........................Joseph L.

For a breathing spell, we wiggled our way to the door, thinking Val Garvin's room would at least permit us to draw a breath but vain hope, the same mob scene met us at the door. Discouraged, we joined a million or two others in the balconies, where we could really appreciate the band's smoothness. Heading the year's dance list for possessing the biggest name band, the Milirary Ball undoubtedly was a big success. But please next year's chairman—how about two floors, instead of just the entire seventeenth floor to accommodate that crowd? 293 Chairman.................................Iren'b Maronby Business Manager...............................Edith Bart Betty Adams Betty Biron Marion Brinev Jean Calvcr Mary Annette Campbell Mary Case Dorothy Davis Alice Marie Day Patsy Dean Patricia Elmer Betty Fcick Glenda Fitch Evelyn Goldsmith Patsy Griffith Mary Grace Mary Jane Gross Ruth Hilsenrath Marv Kaufman Jane Key Grace Kovac Edith McCormick Florence Nvdes Catherine Park Gene Pyle Ethel Shrom Margaret Sprcchcr Lcnorc Steele Jane Ulrich Ann Whippo Winnett CHAPERONES Dr. and Mrs. Manuel Elmer Dr. and Mrs. John Gcisc Members included in picture arc: McCormick, Nyde , Shrom, Sprcchcr, Whippo, Steele, Means, Case, Fogle.

Our congrats to Pat Elmer for the best decorations in Heart Hop traditions. Fluted crimson and white streamers criss-crossed the Schcnlcy Ball Room, meeting in the center to form a huge red heart. Red hearts dotted the huge mirrors on the wall, which reflected the rosy pink and sapphire blue lights from the corners. A peppy cupid poised for action on the white background of the orchestra drop, with multitudinous hearts covering the orchestra stands. Dainty co-eds in fluttering chiffons and nets flitting by on strong masculine arms, to the tunc of Len Mahlvcrn's melodies. Couples sauntering through the hotel lobby, others resting in the armchairs of the Lounge during intermissions—waiting only for the first strains of the orchestra before flocking back to the dance floor. Typical scenes of the traditional Heart Hop —Pitt’s opportunity for female beauties to do the asking typical too for its astonishing number of handsome males, not usually decorating Pitt’s dances! Irene Maroncy, chairman of the affair, was escorted bv her captain. Jack Wirhum, adding the final touch to the Hop’s perfection. Wandering “You Certainly Put Over This Hop, Irene. into the corridor for a cup of ice water, we met all the fraternity sisters, and welcomed the chaperones before heading for the Box to meet further acquaintances. And there he was, holding up the Box, but he joined us while we sipped our fruit lemonades related his talc of woe of being stood up by his best girl for an imported high wide and good looker. We patted his hand, exchanged winks and once more headed for the mob scene, agreeing '38's Heart Hop beat all others by a mile, and feeling quite smug since we had helped tack up the decorations. 295 SPRING FESTIVAL DANCE Chairman...............................Stbphen J.

Everyone including the newest of new Cwcns to the oldest of old O.D.K.'s were swingin' and posin' at Steve Rooney's spring swing . The Continental Room of the Hotel Schcnlcy was the scene of the Spring Festival festivities and gay red, blue, and green lanterns lighted the outdoor terrace for dancers. Convenient dark nooks and corners on the Schcnlcy lawn added to the attractions for the socialites. In the shadow of the Cathedral, tappccs celebrated the climax of the week's activities by offering congratulations to each other and receiving them from other BM WOC, big men and women on campus. All the Phi Kaps were there in best bib and tucker to help Brother Steve put the affair over and you can be sure they did. Lovely Rita Catherman reigned as queen of the evening with Chairman Rooney as king for the night. Romance was in the air and Spring Festival enthusiasts took advantage of their one and only's weak moments. This was the evening for the coeds to show off their Easter bonnets and spring frocks, while the male May I Help You With Your Coat, Rita? (Must Be Spring Fever, Rooney) element managed to look like models from the fashion plates of Hsquirt. Bright nosegays added that certain something to the coeds' outfits with violets predominating as the favorite posies. Committee members worked feverishly arranging the decorations so that everything would be spring fcstivalish and a real spring atmosphere was achieved. 297 A WORLD APART ... a university, shaping the lives of impressionistic youths.

If the detail man answers, Yes, the doctor knows that the composition of the product has been carefully verified, and that members of the Council have scrutinized the label, weighed the evidence, checked the claims, and agreed that the product merits the confidence of the physician. The doctor can ask his own questions, and make his own decision about using the product, but not only has he saved himself a vast amount of time but he has derived the benefit of a fearless, expert, fact-finding body whose sole purpose is to protect him and his patient. No one physician, even if he were qualified, could afford to devote so much time and study to every new product. His Council renders this service for him, freely. Nowhere else in the world is there a group that performs the functions so ably served by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry and the Council on Foods. Mead Johnson Company cooperates with both Councils, not because we have to but because we want to. Our detail men can always answer you, Yes, this Mead Product is Council-Accepted.
