Text from Pages 1 - 308 of the 1940 volume:

FAR AND WIDE POLLY A N D PETER R. Weiss and S. Whiteman AT THE SBURGH, OF STUDENT ERSITY OF SYLVANIA RICHARDE R. WEISS EDITOR SAMUEL N. WHITEMAN . . BUSINESS MANAGER Pitt S o C.o I WE ANSWER THE QUESTIONS CONCERNING OUR THEME w, have tried to edit this volume of The Owl with a good-natured, tongue-in-cheek, modern treatment. The formalities of dedications and editorials have become passe. But we do, here, want to explain the significance of our theme. Polly and Peter represent more than just a publicity stunt. In portraying them, we strike our only serious vein. They personify the real students of the University of Pittsburgh, not necessarily the bookworms nor the heads of activities. Rather they are the normal and average healthily-successful man and woman. They are the sincere and the modest, but not the ideal. Yes, they might cut a class in the springtime to lie on the Cathedral lawn to discuss campus political gossip; they might violate an occasional regulation. But in them we find no traces of the superficial, only the sincere. In these pages we shall find them behind every photograph and paragraph they are the type of student that make us proud to call Pitt our Alma Mater. R S T DAYS grand knock-about summer on that day in September and Peter Pitt walked up the campus to register for their last year at the University. From then on it was a mad scramble: hearty hand-shakes, smiling tanned faces, beaming professors without that tired look. In the midst of registration we find them together at the desk of a professor-to-be. Not too early to polish a few apples. Early Fall ceremonies such as the Druid Smoker and Lantern Night separated Polly and Peter temporarily. Wc did snap them, though, white shoes and all, at the Screwball Hop which heralded the Fall social season. RUSHING FOOTBALL AND SUCH Saturday afternoons found Polly and Peter rival section leaders in the Demonstration Block; but the prize for the most noise went to the band. The peak of football season came with the downfall of Tech. Peter secretly gloated. That Tech-man of Polly's would be taken down a few pegs now. Need we add that our campus two-some were among the students who couldn’t wait for the planned victory march and cut early classes Monday morning to follow the band through Schcnlcy Park to reswipe'’ the posts? With gridiron capers worked hand-shakes during fra rushing, over-yawned mouths at and more banquets, and men as Polly and Peter assisted out panther pins to the “wearers THE LAY O F THE paw® , U4.UMFW CAHFrTW u«u wHitcm a ow CMUON ZFHfU« KAKTUKM OMiFEN JUH KALWAKY !w£l«ttANl Horn o« QHomr tw CO S« S VAN OWL 1MO a y v t ay in which you will find the chief campus news events and personalities of the year burlesqued in a spirit of good, clean fun. The outstanding piece of news was the trustee-investigation of the University; therefore, the top-hatted, bearded little men crawling all over the place. The Duquesne mob invasion of the campus, the sororities' futile attempt to clean up politics, the football team's flight to Seattle, and the elimination of hockey from the sports program comprise some of the episodes which might need clarification. Any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. (The captions speak for themselves.) BOWMAN j r ro St ATfLC RXGRAHAM} (AftlANQ | CARLSON ] l Lfcsd SAM W Um?

MILLS KAPPAS X THETAS T. P A PHI SIOS FITZGERALD j ijX HARTMAN ALL WORK AND NO PLAY Pclly and Peter didn't get through all these years without meeting up with those three floors known as Libraries, ''cram-halls,” or what have you. We see them here exuding an almost ethereal radiance as they wear our an elbow or two on the sturdy study tables of the Reference Room. Can this be the same irresponsible couple that flit around the eighth and twelfth floors respectively live days each week? Comes examinations and an unnatural calm settles over the Cathedral, all elevators point for the fifth floor, the birds cease to sing, the grass grows longer, and Polly and Peter hit the books.” For a change the mid-winter season brought more banquets and a flock of traditional formals. Polly participated in the celebration of Women’s Day at which time the women of the University honored themselves and famous Pitt women before them. Peter was drafted into attendance at the Druid banquet. The oomph dancer erased all his earlier doubts about going. The top of the social season reached a climax with the Silver Anniversary celebration of O.D.K. at the University Club. Polly and Peter scraped ankles in that yearly spectable, the Military Ball. Can you find them in the mob? We couldn't either. As the golden autumn leaves fluttered downward (this from our freshman English themes) in a most irritating fashion, Polly and Peter served as aides at the Chancellor’s Reception for parents of freshmen. All was sugar and honey until the last parent passed through the revolving doors. Within two minutes Polly and Peter were surrounded by those fellow aides going to town on the remnants of ice cream and hors-d’oeuvres. The Interclass Sing gave Polly an opportunity to add an unharmonious throat to her not too melodic class—which ended up losing. Peter whiled his time away chatting in the Commons Room, coking it in the Tuck Shop, and devouring another skimpy meal at the Football Banquet. What, another banquet? SOME W 0 AND SOME PLAY MERA Bills for cleaning white tics and wraps hit the maximum as Polly and donned their formals to enjoy a glee concert, and to be first-nighters at Players' presentation of Three Men On Horse. The annual style shows alwa packed the Schenlcy ball-room. Polly fused to model, but Peter strutted out on the stage in a plaid jacket, covert trousers, barges, etc., all for $17.95- Polly wasn’t impressed by his board-trod ding. She leaned back, closed her eyes, and thought of the time her favorite maestro, Hal Kemp, led the Pitt Band between halves of a football game. Pclly and Peter sat down on the campus and looked across Frick Acres to Heinz Chapel. The rays of the June sun were mixing brilliant color patterns in the stained-glass windows. Spring wafted in between snow-drifts and brought with it strange emotions to the heads of our Pittites. Nomination of senior queen candidates, a few baseball games, Spring Festival, and traditional Tap Day tumbled out of the calendar. Peter presented the Junior Spoon to the outstanding third year man of the year; Polly marched in the Senior Queen coronation ceremony. Their year was closing. That day in September when they had registered together wasn't so long ago. and Music.................... Honorary Fraternities................. Professional Fraternities.............

Miss Amos, Dean of Women, and Miss Rush enjoy some campus capers. 25 A big man on campus, the most popular girl, a senior activities woman, a fraternity brother, and an up-and-coming Junior side-by-side walked into the office of Chancellor Bowman. It was Thursday afternoon, time for another Fireside Chat. Time to meet and know John Bowman. No sooner had they gathered around the huge fireplace with its hand-wrought iron grating then they found themselves conversing with the Chancellor about dormitories, science hall, finished class rooms, changed curricula, educational systems, and ideals. Through it all was one idea, the appreciation of beauty, and appreciation for the best in every culture, Dr. Bowman’s philosophy. The Cathedral stands as a solid reality of this philosophy. OUR CHANCELLOR.. . . . INFORMALLY With Coach Bowser ... At S.F.A. Football Banquet Greeting and Addressing Freshman Parents at his Annual Reception 27 Rufus MJ Fitzgerald Dr. Bowman Chancellor John Wbber Secretary Polly and Peter Pitt, their smoking rooms, libraries, and lunch accommodations—all are problems to Rufus Fitzgerald, University provost, and John Weber, balancer of the budget. As chairman of the University Council and Publications Board, Mr. Fitzgerald confers with the editors of the Owl, Panther, and News, and as a member of the committee on Religion he helps to plan services held in Heinz Chapel and to organize Religious Emphasis Week; his responsibilities include both student and faculty affairs. But behind all the provost’s activity as well as behind all Pitt activities stands Mr. Weber, the man who signs all the checks for the University. In the past year's whirl of incomes and outgoes, bills, and cancelled checks he did not forget to place one big item on the credit side of the budget—the (Cathedral Kitchenette; better known as the Tuck Shop. Need we add that their offices are avenues of constant student and faculty traffic? 28 BOARD OF TRUSTEES OFFICERS Georgb H. Clapp. ................ S. A. Taylor.......... ............... C. W.

All of them are men experienced in their fields; men who have devoted their lives to research, study, and administrations; men who understand the natures and problems of Polly and Peter Pitt. Each of the deans works constantly to raise the standards of his school and to bring greater recognition to the University. The University of Pittsburgh is divided into many separate and distinct schools, seven of which are presented in this section. The largest, of course, is The College, guided bv Dean Stanton C. Crawford. Other under-graduate schools are those of Business Administration, administered by Dean Charles S. Tippetts; Engineering and Mines, Dean Elmer Allen Holbrook; Education, Dean Frank W. Shockley; and Pharmacy, Dean C. Leonard O'Connell. Among the graduate schools are those of Medicine, with Dr. William S. McEllroy as Dean, and Denistry over which Dr. H. Edmund Friesell serves as Dean. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION How to obtain a job after graduation is the problem most often brought before Dean Charles S. Tippetts by his student friends. The most practical solution,” he points out, is to do well in undergraduate work of the chosen phase of business. To the end that students in the school might better achieve the solution, he conducted classes in business orientation which he frequently supplemented with personal conferences. Working with Dean Tippetts in the training of future C.P.A.'s, secretaries, salesmen, and commercial teachers is a qualified faculty whose members arc recognized authorities in business. The only major change made in the faculty during the year was the appointment of Miles H . Jones to succeed James C. Reed who resigned as head of the business law department. Dean Tippetts' own experience is varied. He earned a Phi Beta Kappa key and a Ph.D. degree at Princeton, studied at Harvard Law School, served two years in the Army at home and abroad, and taught at the Universities of Iowa, Seattle, and Buffalo before coming to Pitt in 1935- Chari.es S. Tippetts Dean of the School of Business Administration 30 THE COLLEGE Stanton C. Crasvforo Dean of the College Although Dr. Stanton Crawford is equally at home with a detective storv, on a tramp steamer, studying a Phyllostoma-tida (leaf-nosed hat to us), or investigating a question of local history, he can ordinarily be found in the quietly businesslike College office, directing the activities of the largest undergraduate school in the University. Dr. Crawford began teaching Biology at Pitt in 1924, received his Ph.D. and became head of Johnstown Center in 1926, and returned to the main campus in 1933- He still devotes some of his time to biological research, and he is an enthusiastic reader; but a very particular interest is in questions of education. While he polishes his glasses, Dr. Crawford will tell you that the most significant development of the year in The College is the Humanities course, planned for students who wish to postpone professional training until after graduation. By learning to understand the creative work of the past, Humanities students arc better able to take part in the constructive work of the future. DENTISTRY Although a long six years’ grind, the School of Dentistry, headed by Edmund H. Fricscll, is one of the most popular schools of all, and the ’’dents are known as the most unified and loyal students in the University. Occupying three buildings on campus, members of this school also have classes in the Skin and Cancer Clinic, Montcfiorc Hospital, Falk Clinic, Children's Hospital, and Magee Hospital. The Dental Library, housed in old Mellon Institute, has one of the most complete collections of dental literature in existence. In all, it contains over thirty thousand volumes, among which are many early and rare volumes. This year, special dust-proof and moth-proof cases for display of material in the School’s Teaching Museum were secured. Both the Dental Library and Museum originated from Dr. FricscU’s private-collections. Dr. Friesell’s outside activities include heading the dental departments of St. Francis and Children’s Hospitals and the Western Pennsylvania Home for Crippled Children. He is also an advisory fellow of Mellon Insti- Edmund H. Fribsbll tutc. Dean of the School of Dentistry 31 EDUCATION Added this year to the positions which give Frank W. Shockley the distinction of having the longest title in the University was that of acting dean of the School of Education. Dean Shockley is also director of Extension and Summer Sessions, and director of late afternoon, evening and Saturday classes. Formerly active in public school work, then in extension study at the University of Indiana, Dean Shock-ley was also assistant to the dean in the extension division at the University of Wisconsin, and in 1925 came to Pitt. His chief interests are in the Junior colleges at the Erie and Johnstown centers where students receive instruction similar to that given in the first two years at the Cathedral. He finds that after two years of study in these schools, nearly 70% of the students complete their undergraduate work in the University. As a member of the board of admission, Dean Shockley reviews the qualifications of many prospective teachers. Under his administration, the requirements for entrance remained unaltered, with continued emphasis being placed upon scholarship and teaching aptitude. Frank W. Shockley Dean of the School of Education ENGINEERING AND MINES Supplementing his work as head of one of the country's highest ranking technical schools. Dean Elmer Allen Holbrook of the University’s Schools of Engineering and Mines is kept busy in his position as chairman of the Pittsburgh district of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. Formerly Dean of the Graduate School and of the Schools of Engineering and Metallurgy at Penn State, Dean Holbrook has gained experience in his field through his work with the United States Bureau of Mines at Washington. This year, the Schools of Engineering and Mines have shown a greater trend toward growth and development in the number of students and faculty members, in equipment, in methods, in public interest, and in contributions to engineering, science, and practice than ever before. Comprising the seven main divisions of the school arc the departments of Civil, Electrical, Industrial, Aeronautical, Mechanical, Chemical, and General Engineering. i Elmer A. Holbrook Dean of the Schools of Engineering and Mines 32 ■H MEDICINE William S. McEllroy Dean of the School of Medicine Most people know what it means to be a patient. Few stop to consider what it takes to make a competent doctor. These arc the words of Doctor William S. McEllroy, present Dean of the Medical School. As Dean, he provides adequate and progressive facilities for the advancement of the student doctor as well as the entire medical profession. In the laboratories, fundamental medical sciences are taught in such a way that the student learns bv individual application of scientific method; and he has access to fine medical libraries. At the hospital, the future medico acquires experiences with diseases and develops skill in diagnosis and treatment. A dispensary furthers the development of practical knowledge. Since his graduation from Pitt's Medical School in 1916, Dr. McEllroy has served on its faculty and in January, 1939 was appointed Dean. He was formerly University tennis coach, and now serves on the faculty committee of athletics, in addition to working on his research of pernicious anemia, blood pigment, and the kidney functions. PHARMACY The students who report to the building at Pride-Street and the Boulevard of the Allies for practical experience in the study of pharmacy may be off campus,” but they are still a part of Pitt and Pitt life. Under the able guidance of Dean C. Leonard O'Connell, the School of Pharmacy has further proved itself a credit to the University, for it ranks at the top in its field. Since his appointment in 1932, Dean O'Connell has worked constantly to raise the standards of the School, and most important, he has used his vast knowledge of youth in helping his students to solve the problems that confront them. Active in civic affairs. Dean O’Connell is chairman of the board of managers of the Juvenile Detention home, and president of the Civic Club of Allegheny County. A past president of the Pennsylvania Pharmaceutical Society, he spends his spare time writing for the publications of his profession. Dean O'Connell's degrees include a PhD., an A.B., a Phar.D., and an honorary Phi.M., awarded him by the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and Sciences in 1932. C. Leonard O’Connell Dean of the School of Pharmacy 33 k Thyrsa W. Amos Dean of Women OFFICE OF DEAN OF WOMEN LIFE BEGINS AT 1209 A lift with a cup ot black Chinese tea, a summer camp job, a dab of Run-Stop for a snagged triple-sheer, a glimpse at the latest fashions in Mademoiselle all can be had on the twelfth floor. Here Dean Amos advises Polly Pitt on the more serious side of her campus life. Always alert to the needs of Pitt women, in her progressive program she has been instrumental this year in transforming the dingy, colorless Women's Lounge of Thaw Hall into a restful Blue Room, and has taken particular interest in housing on campus. She has also arranged luncheon conferences for those women students having special problems and needing special attention. Assisting Miss Amos is Miss Helen Poole Rush, aide-de-camp of many distressed committee-women, and cx-Miss McLaughlin, now Mrs. John Holland, who will help you find that room, only a five-minute walk from school. Petite receptionists, Kay Sturm and Pittite Jane Key, will make an appointment for you. Helen _P.

Try 809. Even if you don't find him there, someone will he sure to tell you where he is; for the office of the Dean of Men is the official home of Peter and all the other men students outside of the classroom. There undergraduates assemble and are coun- seled by its kindly and Dr. Vincent W. Lanfear. Theodore W. Biddle Robert R. Corley Edward B.

Biddle, director of extra-curricular activities; Robert R. Corlev, administrator of the social and honorary fraternities; and Edward B. Williams, director of the men's employment service. The sergeants” of the personnel staff are Mrs. Cubbison, Mrs. Dorficld, and Miss Wallace. During Freshman Week and through the Orientation classes. Dr. Lanfear and his assistants keep in contact with every new student, guiding, advising, and helping so that Pitt life becomes, for the men, much more than lectures and textbooks. Mrs. A. W.

McCanduss Dr. Gboroe R. Fitterer Civil Engirt ring Metallurgical Engineering THEY GROW ON US In the rush and din of a big University, there is activity everywhere; and it is not only the students who get headaches over classes, who romp madly from elevator to stairs, and who tap typewriters or go in for extra activities after school. The faculty gets around, too. In its more lofty moments, it writes hooks, institutes new courses, improves departments, edits magazines, and acquires high-sounding titles. Books written and published by faculty members in the past year would make a good-sized shelf, perhaps a little unusual for bed-time reading, but certainly varied. Dr. N. A. N. eleven’s The Political Organisation of Bolivia would rub covers with Enjoying English, by Ellen Mary Gcycr and Don M. Wolfe. For lighter moments there would be Dr. Leland Baldwin’s best-selling novel, The Delectable Country, an historical romance of the days of the whiskey rebellion, and Edwin L. Peterson’s No Life So Happy, which started out to be a technical fishing manual, but now hides the technicalities pleasantly among stories of fish and fishermen. Genuine works of erudition arc Dr. Carl J. Engledcr’s Calculations of Quantitative Analysis, Dr. William A. Yeager’s Honie-School-Connnunity Relations, Dr. Florence Teagarden's Child Psychology for Professional Workers, and Dr. Richard Hope’s A Guide to Readings in Philosophy. Besides writing books, the professors spend some of their leisure time contriving new and different courses for adventurous students. In the sub-basement of the Cathedral there is, of all things, a scismological laboratory, where Donald C. Bradford and his students now record the vibrations of earthquakes, and, sometimes, of down-town traffic. And for those who would rather look out of the Dr. Alexander Silverman Dr. Elmer D.

Emerson Venable teaches another new course, Industrial Hygiene. Throughout the year, the Fine Arts department, under Walter R. Hovey, has brought distinguished people to the University to discuss subjects related to the seventh floor art exhibits and to classroom studies in art appreciation. (Incidentally, one of the exhibits featured a group of paintings done by faculty members.) The department of Music Appreciation has become popular as more and more students discover the library of recordings and the listening rooms on the fourth floor. Theodore M. Finney, head of this department, was one of the appointees of the year, becoming editor of a national music teachers' journal, The Music Teachers' National Association Bulletin. Among the other appointments were those of Dr. O. E. Jennings, head of the biology department, chosen as an expert on conservation to advise army engineers in a new project; and of Dr. Manuel C. Elmer, head of the sociology department, who is aiding in the reorganization of the American Sociological Society. Dr. Manuel C. Elmiir Sociology Mr. H. H. Rotiirock Mrs. J. K. Miller Mr. Theodore M.

Starrett, assistant professor of English, and featuring on its cover a facsimile of the signature of William Pitt, namesake of the city and the school as well as the new magazine. Published to interpret the University to the community, Pitt is very popular with high-school students, who like the authentic picture of college life in the fine-screen photographs and the faculty-written articles. We could write on and on about faculty achievements; we could even mention the less lofty moments such as table-tennis in the gymnasium, learned discourses (no doubt) over lunches at the Faculty Club, and the emancipation of Mr. Corley's moustache, but we won't become gossipy. The wings of Tub Owl must remain unclipped. Dk. M. R. Gaddert Philosophy 38 Ojjjj Ue (lec iA NO MATTER HOW TIGHTLY SCH(X)L CALENDARS TRY TO BIND PITT LIFE TO a schedule, sometimes it overflows and goes its own way. Off-the-record events sometimes do not make the News, but they always make bctwccn-class conversation. Dolly Dawn and a pep rally on the lawn instead of fourth hour class; the progress of the Kathedral Kitchenette from sawdust to Chinese Red leather and chromium; unedited wisecracks at the Fashion Show; a sudden fall of fluffy snow making a Christmas-card setting for HeinzChapcl . . . These are the momentous matters Peter and Polly whisper about while the teacher raps for attention. TWO UNSCHEDULED FOOTBALL CELEBRATIONS BROKE THROUGH THE MONDAY routine last fall. Duquesne students who got the idea of storming the Cathedral were all wet, for enterprising students on the second and third floors discovered hoses and water buckets, and used them efficiently. A little later, irrepressible Pitt students jumped a planned celebration of the victory over Tech by three hours, leaving their second hour classes to march behind the band, letter the score in lipstick on the Tech campus, and trail through the town, casually acquiring Community Fund flags (and a following of police) as they went by. THE BIGGEST SURPRISE OF THE YEAR FELL FROM HEAVEN ON VALENTINE'S Day to blanket the whole city in white. (The big snow of 1940, children we don't have winters like that any more.) The professors tucked their trousers into big black galoshes, co-eds plowed manfully through big drifts in childishly gawkv snow pants, and almost everybody came to school, at least by sixth hour. But the surprising ladies almost outdid the weatherman when they threw their no-politics bombshell, a resolution for a political cleanup among women's fraternities. And the freshman women created another upset at the Interclass Sing, when, with a sweet-and-simple presentation of the Wizard of Oz, they demurely relieved the Juniors of their twice-won trophy. A REAL CHRISTMAS PARTY IN THE COMMONS ROOM, WITH POINSETTIAS AND evergreens, was a relief after the rush of finishing term papers. With their fingers sugary from Mrs. Miller's doughnut surprise and with crumbs of candy around their mouths, the lowly freshman and the hardboiled B.M.O.C. wandered around together with a blissful, peace-on-earth expression on their faces. They hummed softly in an off-key fashion when the Chapel choir sang the old carols; fought whole-heartedly for a bag of the candy Santa Emil Narick was tossing out; and together applauded the magnificent catch of Chancellor Bowman. FOOD FOR CONVERSATION WAS PROVIDED BY A NUMBER OF BRAIN-TURNING publicity stunts, including a perfumed Panther and a miniature Plymouth Rock; but more serious discussions were concerned with Dr. Bowman's reply to the committee of Directors who investigated administrative conditions at Pitt, or about the possibility of completing the Cathedral, extending the library facilities, and building dormitories and a student union. And two serious innovations were the student opera (Dido and Aeneas) and the poetic symphony. SPRING FINALLY CAME, ASSISTED A LITTLE BY BROTZMAN OF THE WEATHER Bureau and Perring of the Panther. With spring came a crisis for the students who drive to school, when a two-hour parking restriction was placed on some of their favorite parking spots; came also a new organization, the University Council, to act as an advisory board of faculty members and deans; and an early election battle. OTHER UNEXPECTED EVENTS OCCURRED THIS YEAR—SPONTANEOUS, UNPLANNED, sometimes disreputable happenings that made some people laugh and others swear. But why go on writing them down? Lectures must go into note-books, but no one needs notes to remember how the biology prof looked the time he found a frog's insides in his pocket. Perhaps such highlights as these will be remembered best if they are kept—off the record. 39 ALUMNI John B. Nick las President ASSOCIATION Gene Burkhart Secretary They Wear Yellow Chrysanthemums Polly and Peter may not look any different after the last ceremonies of graduation, hut somewhere there will be a change; for Polly and Peter, no longer mere stoodents, will have attained the dignity of Alumni. As such, they may join the Joe College and Betty Co-ed models of yester-year in the General Alumni Association of the University of Pittsburgh. United by all the ties which graduates of the same University have in common, the members of the Alumni are divided into still more intimate interest groups according to the school they attended at the University. Polly may belong not only to one of these groups but also to the Alumnae, for ladies only. From each division, three representatives are sent to Alumni Council.

The Alumni Review is published six times a year. This year there is a trustee election. Pitt Clubs are formed through the association for alumni too far away to attend the Pittsburgh meetings. But the activity best known to undergraduates is the celebration of Charter Day, which this year included a variety show in the Foster Memorial. Features by talented alumni, the girls' chorus from Cap and Gown, and Men's Glee Club made it a whiz-bang show a grand reunion for those who usta-bc.” Dr. C. L. Lewis, '72, the oldest alumnus, and George B. Palmer, '99, the grandson of Robert Bruce, first principal of W.U.P., talk over old college days on Charter Day. 41 C Ii p elfi C rc-yy To be selected Senior Queen by her class-mates is the highest honor a woman at the University may attain. Miss Gregg has not only beauty and intelligence, but she has that sparkling charm and refreshing gaiety which inspires popularity and friendliness. Nominees for the position of Senior Queen were these five co-eds who share the limelight as the outstanding women of the Class of '40. They are Miss Glenda Fitch, Miss Patricia Elmer, Miss Betty Batty, Miss Betty Teal, and Miss Gregg. 45 Miss Fitch in the role o( Alma Mater will serve as chief attendant to the Queen in the coronation ceremony.

Dora 93 LEADING SENIORS OF ’40 Each year ten senior men and ten senior women are selected to the Hall of Fame of the University. These outstanding students have risen to campus prominence after having proved in four years to possess the qualities of good character, wise and capable leadership in activities and scholarship, and all-around good fellowship and sociability. They are chosen by an authoritative committee composed of five juniors and two faculty members.

Griffith, McKenna, Shrom. Covert. Megee Practically a snap, that Freshman year: upperclass counselors for Peter and Senior Mentors for Polly. Saturday night rushing parties and mixer dances helped Peter meet Polly. Then glorious afternoons munching hot-dogs at the football games and being part of the gold-and-blue Demonstration Block. First big formal, maybe with Peter and orchids. Small informals and lots of fun dancing and gabbing with his friends from Freshman Camp and her friends from unit and mentor groups. Their first Spring Festival Week—tea dances, sweepstakes, Tap Day, Carnival Night—Spring Formals, and long walks and picnics in Schcnlcy Park—worth cutting classes for. Into a glorious Sophomore year; Cwcns for Polly, and Druids for 106 OF AN UNDER CLASSMAN JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS Fmt Rir: Fagan, Koontz, Richard , Hoscy Peter. Beating the four o'clock deadline for the news, and selling advertising for You Know What! More dances, more friends, more-picnics, and more cuts! Why go to a 1:30 class when GWTW is in town? On to the Junior year. Polly has her share of work as a unit advisor and as a Panhel representative. Peter is becoming well known as a Junior member in SFA, and as rushing chairman in his fraternity. That undergraduate life is real stuff, isn't it? Between the peppery round of Pitt's social calendar and the themey ever-increasing circles of the class calendar, Polly and Peter have a high old time of it. Ahead of them lie- but why get serious and professional? For the present, we'll let them be undergraduates; it's a gayer life. FRESHMAN ASSEMBLY Vorech, Wetterman, Teal Atkin, Nicholas.

It is to this end that the standing and temporary committees, under the guidance of the Student Faculty executive committee, have been set up. Last fall, when the University appropriations were cut, S.F.A. action resulted in an appeal to the state legislature bv the entire student body and faculty, with a consequent restoration of funds as well as an added appropriation for the University medical center. Following the close of the football season, during which the pep assembly committee rallied Pitt scholars and socialites to rah for the team, a new University tradition was rooted with the S.F.A.-sponsored football banquet. Variety marked the entertainment—an 1 President.................Patrick Cusick Vice-President............Jack Hobvblbr Secretary......................Nancy Die.by Treasurer..............Samuel Whiteman Executive Committee---- Gertrude Broido Clarence Shepard Faculty Miss Thyrsa W.

Through a special committee, it has also made more friendly athletic relations with other schools in the district. Besides entertaining students with four-bell pictures, the Essefav theater introduced a cultural and instructive aspect to its movie program, “The Other Side of Town' showing one of the best known slum areas in the world,” the Hill district of our own city of Pittsburgh; went beyond its safety campaign in an attempt to stave off the possibility of students and faculty car-owners losing all parking places around the Cathedral. However, S.F.A.'s most prominent and active season comes in springtime when the annual political hub-bub between fraternities and independents over gaining a majority of scats reaches its full and foolish climax at the polls.

DeRochcr Two weeks before the first formal, the Junior Prom, Peter found himself without a stiff shirt and broke. But not for long, for he soon found that he could rent one at the Men’s Tuxedo Exchange on the eighth floor. It was also through Men's Council that he picked up that crazy hobby of collecting Tuck Shop sandwich wrappers, and learned to write a punchy letter of application for a job. Through the Book Exchange, also found on the eighth floor and headed by George Hartman, he kept himself in date-money bv turning his old but unthumbed text-books into cash. During the hectic beginnings of classes last fall and at mid-semester, this second-hand book store was readily accepted by classmates of both Peter and Polly as a place to purchase that much-needed Ogg and Ray’s American Government, Modern European History, or American Literature.

This year, as when Peter was a freshman, the Council’s major activity was the men's customs an eight-week project that orients the newcomers to the life of the University. Conducted during the Orientation hour, the class leaders gave the freshmen an idea of what it is all about by discussing University history, activities, B.M .O.C.'s fraternities, and other topics of interest with them. At the end of Customs, golden Panther keys were awarded to approximately seventy of the outstanding boys at the Freshman Honor Court in Foster Memorial Hall for scholarship, activities participation, and personality. nC HZw2Z °w 00 ►nr-mcr 7).2w20 Rowell.

Of course, it was number one on her activities list, for Polly and her class sisters became members of W.S.G.A. at the Green Arm Band Ceremony as soon as they came to Pitt. Yet she wasn't quite sure; W .S.G.A. insisted upon such crazy instructions. Wearing that green arm band took away the glamor of her smooth new suit. It simply screamed Freshic.” Then too. W.S.G.A. took time away from her dates (?) bv requiring her attendance at things called Lantern Night . . . Sounds silly to me and mentor meetings . . . What’s a mentor? —and mixer dances . . .

In the language of a truly educated person . . . It's a fine group of girls carrying on traditions of supreme beauty. Polly regrets that arm band period is over; it was fun. People answered your most foolish questions seriously, mistakes were overlooked, and oh yes, the dates! Lantern night? Well, Polly couldn’t (even with her smooth vocabulary) find words to describe its beauty; this was the first year that it had been held on the Cathedral campus. It made Pollv realize that traditions and customs were a part of Pitt life. She is looking forward to the Coronation of Senior Queen, now. Her mentor had described the Old English coronation held in the Commons Room and made each girl anxious for May and Coronation time to come. Of course, Polly won’t forget that she owes the prestige of her merit panther and her place in Pitt as a woman, to W.S.G.A.

Shissler 137 cs m h r« HH PITT PLAYERS OidA- So successful was the production of Our Town, that it gave a third command performance two weeks after its regular billing last May 9 and 10. Not only was Our Town the most ambitious effort of a season of hit plays, but it was the most difficult, for its author had a theory to prove as well as a character study to present. Thornton Wilder deliberately omitted scenery from the production, believing that it only served to detract from the characterization of the roles. He also decided that only the stage manager should speak since the audience needed some-explanation to replace the settings, and that otherwise, the play was to be pantomimed. With only a table, two stepladders, and some chairs for settings, then, the Players portrayed events in the lives of George Gibbs and Emily Webb. JliAee Men on a Newest comedy addition to the Pitt Players repertoire. Three Men on a Horse, was staged in Stephen Foster on November 2 and 3- Dramatizing a portion of the life of Erwin Trowbridge, professional verse writer, the play combined the writing of greeting card verses and the “doping of horse races in a highly entertaining fashion. Coming to New York, Erwin falls in with two men and a girl who are making a poor living figuring the races. On his tips the trio bet and win several times. They become Erwin 's managers and make him place a large bet himself. This is all that is necessary to ruin Erwin's miraculous powers; he loses, and vowing never to dope'' another race, returns to his job in time to write a number one greeting for Father's Day. 138 PITT PLAYERS Cotisvielosi - at- Jlcua Turning to more serious drama for their second show, Pitt Players introduced their audiences to George Simon’s, Counselor-at-Lawy on December 7 and 8. Threatened by the disclosure that in his earlier and more idealistic days, he had resorted to illegal means in order to save a a young client from life imprisonment, the counselor-at-law, interpreted by George Veincgar, is faced with a crisis in his life. At this trying point, he is deserted by his wife and friends, until finally he becomes disillusioned to the point of deciding to commit suicide. But Simon is dissuaded in this decision by his secretary in whom he finds true love at last. The entire student body was ’’summoned'' to serve jury duty and their decision on the case was unanimous guilty of producing an outstanding performance. Jhe Adding Machine. Following the successful reception of Thornton Wilder's Our Town, the Players again delved into the unusual when they produced Elmer Rice’s The Adding Machine on the Foster stage, March 14 and 15. This time, they selected expressionism, a realistic dramatic form, to carry their ability across the footlights. Through five scenes of gloomy and foreboding atmosphere, the satire moved, unfolding the obsessions of timid Mr. Zero who murdered his boss after having been fired following twenty-five years as a cog in the vast machine of modern business. In an impressionistic setting of the Elysian Fields, Zero apparently fulfills the penalty for his crime by serving as operator of the largest adding machine in Heaven for twenty-five years. That his ever-degraded soul must go back to earth to serve another body is his final doom. H9 c A P C A P G O W N G O W N Ed HuF NAGLE Corny Fritters Howard Jones Chorus Cal Trials and tribulations of a hypnotized student who imagines himself to be Jack Benny was the story of the thirty-third annual Cap and Gown show this year. Snap Your Fingers was written by Frank S. Miller, C41, and was presented before a student and public audience in the Nixon theater the week of April 29. Written in two acts and eight scenes, Snap Your Fingers” pictured student life at Avoid College, Amazon life in a Belli- Belli jungle, and, after combining a little fairy fantasy, ended in the first world-wide television broadcast, produced by Billv Nose for Mrs. Smarter of Smarter's Little Lover Fills A Feck of Passion in Every Pill. Romantic interest was provided by Bob White and Hedy LaMoney, and by student Corny Fritters and Horace LaMoney. Mrs. Smarter finds her man in the Fairy Prince, who Winchester liberated from a spell which has made him a goat.

Max Adkins, director of the Stanley theater orchestra, and arranger for Cap and Gown for several years, became musical director of the show. Snap Your Fingers was typically Cap and Gown.

Captain John Mitchell LADS IN MOLDERS OF SECOND LIEUTENANTS You needn't be alarmed with any talk of war scare around the University today, because the Cathedral has its own War Department and a national” defense program, manned by a commissioned and enlisted personnel with a combined total of 52 years of service to the University. It isn't particularly important whether the five commissioned and five non-commissioned officers have located anti-aircraft batteries at strategic points on Frick Acres, or whether they have mapped every one of the Cathedral's 36 floors, however, because they serve a more serious purpose. Under the direction of Colonel Holcombe and Lieutenant Colonel Gantt, the military staff trains basic and advanced students in Pitt's Coast Artillery and Medical units of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps. And in addition they supervise the activities of the Pitt Band, one of the largest military bands in the nation; Pitt Rifles, honorary drill unit; a chapter of Scabbard and 150 Sergeant Chester Hanover, Sergeant James W.

This year there was one addition and two promotions to the personnel, Lieutenant Colonel Wilson was promoted to Colonel, and Technical Sergeant Evans received his warrant as Master Sergeant. Sergeant Murric Underwood will he attached to the University beginning June 1. The freshman who registers for Military Science 1 does so voluntarily. He then undertakes two years of instruction under these officers so that he will be proficient in the basic arts of soldiery, and have some knowledge of anti-air-craft and fixed sea-coast artillery. Two years later, if he is physically qualified, this student will be commissioned in the advance corps, and upon graduation, be commissioned a second lieutenant in the organized Reserves.

Prior to this big event, in the early part of the year, ten student officers were tapped at a private Scabbard and blade dance held across the Avenue in Hotel Webster Hall . . .

To tell the truth, my eyebrows weren't so level either. Russ Morgan in the main ballroom—Bill Penn, '17th, of coarse—was grand. Billy LeRoy wade the Cardinal Room a jitterbug s paradise, and then there was Owen Pieper in the Urban Room, too. We sure had fan making the rounds. Decorations, in true military fashion, were the crossed flags of Scabbard and Blade and Pitt Rifles, and PITT R.O.T.C. on either side of the ballroom on huge blue and gold cards.

Miss Hi:li;n Poolb Rush They Receive Freshmen and Sip Tea and Sponsor Sings and Sip Tea and liar Progressive Dinners and Sip Tea Fraternity women had to cat and run as constantly changing groups moved from one fraternity house to another for each course of the progressive dinner arranged by Panhcllenic Council under the direction of Hulda Tully and Evelyn Green. Ending up at Heinz House for their ice cream and cake, they sang and listened to the favorite song of each fraternity to top of?' an evening that was truly panhcllenic. With the first winds of March, this Panhcllenic ingenuity blossomed forth among the individual fraternities in a bustle of rushing parties. From Hawaiian beach to Farm Frolic, from Circus and Nursery Rhyme parties to swank fashion shows and formal banquets, whirled petite Polly Pitt, until she saw the Greek letters from Alpha to Zeta riding by on a merry-go-round. After the traditional Freshman Reception and the Transfer Tea, fraternity women again met together at Heinz House; it was February and time for the Inter-fraternity Sing. With history as a theme, Betsy Ross, Thomas Edison, and Martha Washington swung out against each other, until the T.P.A. villian flicked his mustache and Theta Phi Alpha’s “Gold Rush” struck ore and the trophy. For splendor in spring formals, the Council once more reserved the Urban Room, and Evelyn Green led fraternity women and their escorts at the Panhcllenic Ball. A popular part of Spring festivities, the women’s fraternities’ float parade with its pantomimed song titles passed the reviewing stands. When the last float trailed out of the stadium, Panhcllenic Council ended another season in fun and good sororship. PAN-HELLENIC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Lccschc. Tully, Fagan. Kavanagh First Row: Bock.

Interfraternity Council, on Tap Day, awarded plaques to the five men who have in their four years at the University contributed most to fraternity circles both in interfraternity relations and in their respective chapters.

Council hang up their hats together. Once a month, the executive committee and two representatives from each fraternity assemble at a dinner meeting in one of the Greek houses. In spite of the adherence to Parliamentary procedure, the meetings arc conducted informally. In regard to the prohibition of beer parties, the Council maintains that dignity is something you can’t preserve in alcohol. A new practice instituted this year was the awarding of a scholarship plaque to the house whose Freshmen class had the highest scholastic average. Another innovation was to issue to all freshmen a booklet discussing fraternities and fraternity life in general, this in addition to the regular handbook. Thus, no longer will prospective rushecs be ignorant of the mysteries of a fraternity. With Jim Kennedy behind the gavel, I.F. Council wound out another successful year in its social activities. The most flambouvant affair was the I.F. Ball at the Schenley Hotel on February 23 and orchestrated by Richard Himber. During the course of the year, I.F. sponsored the Yuletide Festival, the I.F. Sing, and a Christmas food gathering for the Pittsburgh needy.

Hagan Director of Athletics -------T-T -------T-T --DOUBLE T PITT! Minus the fan-fare and notoriety caused by the great number of resignations that reached the Athletic Director James Hagan's desk during 1938-1939, the sport scene at the University took on a brighter outlook this year. If one event could be selected as outstanding in Pitt's sports program since September, the plane ride to Seattle for the Washington game would head the list. Although Goldberg, Woodruff, and hockey were sorely missed, the athletic squads rated keen student support and gained fair results in competition. “’Til The Victory Is Won” The headless man cheers, too. . .

Trainer F O O T B Well, They Tried Hard, Anyway Charles W. Bowser Coach With only Dick Cassiano returning from last year's varsity eleven, the 1939 edition of the University football team opened its initial season under the gridironship of Charles W. Bowser and his new staff. The first three games on the schedule, which included an airplane ride across the continent, ended with victories, and the sports writers of the nation ranked Pitt as the number one contender for national honors. The fourth game jinx interrupted the winning streak when fumblitis gave the Duqucsnc eleven a hard-fought victory. The following five encounters resulted in two triumphs and three defeats for the Bowser warriors. Highlights of the season were the two thrilling victories over the foes that upset the Panthers' Dream Backfield last year. Twice Pitt came from behind to eliminate Duke from the undefeated ranks, and a last minute touchdown pass spelled defeat for the Carnegie-Tech Skibos. A L L Bcnghauscr. Gartner, Wilson.

Glancing ahead, she spotted Peter leaning against the mail box on the corner of Dc Sota and O'Hara. He was sporting those flashy ear-muffs, almost blocked out of view by his pork-pie hat. With the usual Hyah kid, they shoved on to the stadium. Five minutes later they pushed up to gate seven, produced their student books and passport pictures, and entered without further difficulties toward section F of the cheering block. After they wormed into the blue and gold capes, Peter resignedly reached into his pocket and extracted a two-bit piece to purchase a program before Polly could heckle him for one. Polly, in the customary manner of the typical female football fan, bothered the already irritated Peter with scatterbrain queries, but she received few replies. The new ear-muff fad is not only fashionable but also practical. PITT 27 6 WASHINGTON Combining an aerial attack and an airplane ride to Seattle, the Panthers connected for 12 passes in 18 attempts to down rhe Huskies in the opening game. Joe Retringcr scored the season's first touchdown, and Cassiano and Kish contributed to the scoring. 223 1940 RESUME OF PITT 20—0 WEST VIRGINIA Cassiano's spectacular run of 40 yards for the opening touchdown proved fatal for the Mountaineers. Dick Fullerton recovered a teammate’s fumble in the end zone for the second marker, and Ernie Bonnclli added the third score on a short line smash. PITT 14 -13 DUKE The Panther underdogs came from behind on two occasions to upset George McAfee and his Blue Devils mates. Emil Narick's two accurate touchdown passes to Cassiano and Ben Kish's two place-kicks accounted for the home team's points. PITT 13—21 DUQUESNE Twice within four years Du-quesne's under rated eleven knocked the Panthers from the ranks of the undefeated. The Jungle Cats scored two quick touchdowns, but Dame Fortune gave the Dukes a helping hand and aided them to come from behind to triumph. PITT 13—27 FORDHAM Fordham took advantage of the breaks to gain revenge over the Pitt gridders and even the series at one-victory apiece and three scoreless ties. Dcnnerv, Ram end, intercepted a Panther fumble on his own one-yard line and scored the winning touchdown. 224 GRIDIRON SEASON PITT 0 10 PENN STATE With center Leon Gajecki starring on the defense, the Nittany Lions won their first game from the Panthers in two decades. It marked the first time this season that the air-minded Jungle Cats failed to score. State held the upper hand throughout the game. PITT 13—14 NEBRASKA Nebraska finally scored a victory over the Panthers in an exciting battle which marked the first Pitt one-point defeat since the Western University of Pittsburgh started to play football in 1890. Injuries deprived Pitt the use of Kish and Dickinson. PITT 6 0 CARNEGIE TECH Edgar “Special Delivery Jones hit the headlines with a bull's eye pass that traveled 55 yards into the waiting arms of halfback Bob Thurbon in the end zone for the only score of the game. The solitary marker came in the final two minutes of the game. PITT 13—7 TEMPLE Pitt: 13 points for the third straight week gave them a one touchdown victory over a stubborn Temple eleven. The Owls scored their lone touchdown on a Pitt fumble.

Kish Hafer Narick Corace 227 Cassiano Dickinson Well, They Tried Hard H. Clifford Carbon Coach An in-and-out Panther quintet finished a so-so season with a record of eight victories in seventeen starts. Blowing alternately hot and cold, the good Doctor Carlson's courtmen looked like one of the country's premier outfits in several games and distinctly mediocre in others. Beginning the season with a swing through the mid-west, the team dropped decisions to Butler, Northwestern, Indiana, and Michigan, notching a single win over Ohio State between the Hoosier and Wolverine defeats. The Michigan fray was the only over-time battle in which Dr. Carlson's passers participated. The Bluc-and-Gold courtmen returned to the Stadium for engagements with Penn State and Westminster. The Pittmcn nosed out both visiting opponents, downing the Nittany Lions 31-28, and outlasting the Titans 47-35. Cornell was the next stop for the golden clad Panthers, and the Big Red lost out in a thrilling game, 38-33- The Panthers ran their victory string to four straight as they hit the season's high spot with a smashing 73-42 triumph over Carnegie-Tech. The 73 point total established a new Pitt team scoring record, and Eddie Straloski topped Chipper Charlie Hyatt's individuals scoring mark of 27 point by looping 13 field goals and six charity tosses for 32 points. This fell two points short of tying the district record set by Tech's Mel Cratsley two years ago against the West Virginia Mountaineers.

Red Port's 15 points aided in the sinking of the Navy quintet, and John Billie, sophomore sensation, pitched in 17 points to lead Geneva to a 47-45 victory over the home team after trailing for three-quarters of the game. Charley Ptacek, senior forward, starred for Pitt. West Virginia's Mountaineers came north with a good record, but found the Kutc Kids’ blowing hot and fell before the Panther attack, 68-49, Eddie Straloski topping the scorers with 25 points. Jimmy Tumpanc's last second field goal from the 18-foot line gave Carnegie Tech a revengeful victory over the Pittites, 46-44. Ed Straloski, John Pataky, and Sam Milanovich were ousted via the personal foul rule early in the ball game. Pitt finished the season in its typical in-and-out way, routing Fordham at Madison Square Garden, 57-37, dropping a close 36-29 decision to the Penn Staters at State College, and closing rhe season with a loss at Morgantown. 229 Kicking up cinders in opponents faces in typical Pitt fashion, Coach Carl Olson's track outfit engaged in a satisfactory season of indoor and outdoor competition. In the Central Collegiate meet, the cinder crew was second only to Marquette. Hap Stickel and Bullet Bill Carter placed one-two in the 75-yard dash. Stickel's time of 7 5 seconds was just one-tenth of a second shy of tying the world’s record. Larry Tregonning captured a second place in the 440 and Johnny Bazyk was runner-up in the shot put, a quarter-inch short of tying for first place. Dusty Rhoades’ leap of 13 feet gained him a tie for first place in the pole vault, and Dave McDowell 's high jump of six feet, two inches also enabled him to tie for the top spot. Stickel’s third in the 75-vard low hurdles, and a second place in the mile relay accounted for the remaining Pitt points. A tie for fifth place was all the trackmen could garner in the I.C.4A. meet. Carter placed second in the 60-vard dash and fifth in the broad jump. Captain Frank Ohl was third in the broad jump with a leap of 24 feet, one inch, equaling the University’s record. A heave of 50 feet, one and one- CROSS-COUNTRY TEAM McCabe, Foote, Graham, Saunders, Manuel f ront Row: Gurczrnski, Captain Sterner, Boulanger, Roscborough, Brosky 230 AI Ferrara, John Bazak, Frank Ohl, A1 McKee quarter inches gained third place for Bazyk in his favorite event. Pitt's remaining points were gained by Dave McDowell who tied for fifth in the high jump, and the mile relay team which placed fourth. In the New York Athletic Club Games, the Panthers had only two point winners. They were Carter and Bazyk, who both placed third in the 50 yard dash and shot put respectively. The Pittmcn placed third behind Michigan and Indiana in the annual Butler Relays. Among the point winners were Carter, Stickel, and Bazyk. Carter breasted the tape in 6.2 seconds in the 60-yard dash with Stickel right behind him. Bazyk won his specialty with a toss of 49 feet, eight inches. Several dual engagements plus three more intercollegiate contests were on the Pitt card. Meets with three giants of the Big Ten, Ohio State, .Michigan, and Indiana, were scheduled as well as meetings with Penn State and Temple. Coach Carl Olson s proteges defended their three-year-old grip on the Penn Relays title on April 26 and 27 and engaged in the I.C.4A. and N.C.A.A. outdoor meets before ringing down the curtain on the 1940 campaign. Al Boulanger, Hap Stickel, Joe Newman, Del Anderson 231 Well . . . “All aboard for the southlands” was the heralding cry of the Panther baseball nine as they prepared to open their second season of diamond warfare after a 15 year layoff. Thirteen games were carded for the season with the Duke Blue Devils furnishing the opposition in the initial encounter. Wake-Forest, Virginia, and Maryland, three new additions, completed the makeup of the southern tour. The diamondmen were inactive until April 27th when they opened a home stay by playing Indiana State Teachers College on the Stadium field. Last year Pitt won over the Teachers, 6-5- West Virginia’s Mountaineers came to the Stadium for a pair of contests May 3 and 4. The Panthers split four games with West Virginia in '39. The home season closed after a tangle with the Nittanv Lions from Penn State. B L The old hit and run 232 A brief Eastern trip followed the short home stand. Army’s horsehide belters were Pitt’s foes on May 18 at West Point, and the Navy Middies battled Pitt’s team a week later at Annapolis. The Pittmen journeyed to Morgantown for a brace of contests on May 31 and June 1, and closed the season June 8 with an encounter against Penn State at State College. A squad composed mainly of veterans answered Coach Ralph Mitterling's call for baseball candidates. Pitchers returning from the 1939 team included southpaws Andy Johnson and Joe Treolo, and right handers Joe Pommersheim and Ed Haluska. Johnson was the most effective pitcher of last season. Among the newcomers to the pitching corps were Lefty” Bob Geiger, a transfer from Duke, footballer Ed Jones, Jack Brady, Jim Simpson, and Milt Ripp. The ineligibility of Jim Egen weakened the staff considerably. George Hartman and Guy Guadagnino received considerable competition for the first team catcher 's berth from Frank Goodcll, senior gridder. The infield and outfield saw all seven regulars returning to their old stations. Ed Keiper, A1 Bush, and Frank Goelz were pushed by such performers as Charlie Ptacek, Howdie Updegraff, Joe Klein, and Ernie Bonclli.

With Tony Kay, Bill Daddio, and Charley Mathias lost bv graduation, this year's squad teed off with many newcomers who were faced with tackling a ten game schedule plus the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament at Manchester, Vermont. Five of the Panther matches were against foes in the Eastern Intercollegiate Golf Association. These matches included Cornell and Penn State at State College, and Pennsylvania, Georgetown, and Princeton at Oakmont. Four of the six losses incurred last year were at the hands of E.I.G.A. members with Penn State winning a second match in non-league play.

With Pat Corr absent from the scene for the first time in 16 years, Ben Grady, a recent Michigan graduate, assumed the role of coach and caught hold quickly in his initial season at Pitt. He did much to bring the University into the national swimming spotlight. Winning the Eastern Collegiate crown over such opposing teams as Franklin and Marshall, New York University, Rutgers, and Carnegie Tech was the highlight of the season. Herb Cosgrove, Joe Orloff, Al Sampson, Dick Ames, and Bob Schrader joined the Big Four in garnering the majority of points in competition. 234 Shot-Guns . . Bullets . . Triggers . . Bull’s-Eye Splattering the bull's eyes with regularity, the University's rifle team added another string of victories to its impressive record of the last four years. With the majority of matches being of the telegraphic variety, the Blue and Gold representatives engaged in meets with top notch teams from all parts of the country plus several shoulder to shoulder contests with local rivals. Besides the dual matches, the Panther marksmen competed with leading schools in the William Randolph Hearst Trophy matches and the National Association Rifle competition. James Bates, a consistent 380 scorer and a newcomer from Erie, handled the number one slot for the locals with Larry LaSpada, James Townsend, Kenneth Schafer, Arthur Stifley, William Wilson, and Richard Frankovich comprising the remainder of the squad.

Returning to the University after a year's absence, Coach Dr. Dave O'Loughlin built his team around Kristufek, Francis Harmuth, Edward Goehring, and Robert Burns, letter winners of last year. Captain Kristufek was again the outstanding man on the Pitt team in both singles and doubles matches. Included in Pitt's schedule were such outstanding teams as Ohio State, Penn State, Miami U., Navy, George Washington, and Carnegie Tech, and old district rivals as Indiana Teachers, Slippery Rock, Grove City, Allegheny, and Geneva.

On April 15 the club held a tea dance at the Schenley Hotel which was a huge success. This dance officially opened the Club’s social activities. The object of the club is to establish a stronger bond of unity among the lettermen on the campus, to promote the interests cf athletics in the University, and to add the collective voice of athletes in furthering the general welfare of the University.” 237 Peter becomes one of the boys '•a.

Mixing up an assortment of sports in their due season, Director James Potts and his able assistant, Ollic Stiff, produced an Intramural program that far surpassed any previous program of this kind. Two vital obstacles which had to be contended with were the long climb up Alumni walk to Trees Gym, site of all sports activities, and the blustery winter of the past year. These hindrances did the most to cramp up the schedule, but the would-be athletes cooperated in fine style, and a minimum amount of difficulties were encountered. Three leagues, fraternity, independent, and engineer, comprised the divisions in each sport with the engineers and independents combining in a few of the sports where the entries dropped off. INTRAMURAL COACHES Cecil Morgan, Ben Grady, Charles Radi, Steve Horton, James Potts. 238 Dividing the sports into three seasons, Director Potts kept the entrants busy throughout the year. The majority of the sports were conducted by means of the round-robin manner, the exceptions being football, speedball, and golf in which double-elimination was used. Football dominated the fall schedule with speedball taking a good hold on the players in its opening year. The hardest and longest program took place in the winter when five sports were run simultaneously. Basketball held sway throughout with bowling, table tennis, handball, and volleyball keeping the members of the three divisions on their toes. A young man’s fancy may turn to love during the spring, but the athletic-minded gentlemen of the University turned to softball, golf, tennis, and horseshoes. Swimming and track also managed to be squeezed in for one day stands. 239 A bang-up year of intramural battling began with a two-sport fall program. Lively competition in football and a curtailed speedball schedule occupied in the intramural outfits. Phi Gamma Delta beat out Phi Kappa for the title in the fraternity football league. The passing combination of Chris Watson and Bill Edmunds with the blocking of Jack Eitel won out for the Fijis. The Mets won the Engineering crown but were flattened by the Independent league winners, the Punks, 68-6. The Punks took the University championship by defeating the Phi Gams, two games out of three. Rip Collins, Ralph Josephs, George Kockeran, Lefty Ziolkowski, Red” Port, and Sam Milan-ovich starred for the champs. Only fraternities competed in the speed-ball play with Phi Gamma Delta imitating its football victory only after a stiff battle. Competition in five events and one special 240 Goalie Shaffer goes out to save Puzzle! Where's the shuttle-cock ’ event featured the winter program. The basketball race brought out the most competition and provided the liveliest intraleague lights. Oil and Gas won the Engineering laurels but lost out to the Jerks in the inter-league playoffs. The Jerks, winners of the Independent crown, lost All-University Championship to the frat winners. Phi Kappa. Bob Mallory, Jack Stetler, and Vince Anania spark-plugged the amazing Jerks who lost to the Craig-Street men after a close three game series. The initial games went to the Phi Kaps, 33-33, but the Jerks came back to capture the second, 23-24. In the final fray, Jack Glenn, Tom Halloran, and Dick Cassiano led the Phi Kaps to a 19-18 victory. With no league competition among the Independents and Engineers, the Phi Gams became the University volleyball champs by spiking their way over the other frat crews. 241 •V Phi Kaps top Jerks in basketball final Delta Tau Delta won the ping-pong championship for the second consecutive year by smashing its wav past the Industrial Engineers, winner of the combined Independent-Engineer League. By defeating Pi Kappa Alpha and the Industrial Engineers in the playoffs, the Amity Club keglcrs romped off with the bowling title. Frank and Joe Kristufek, the powerful Newman Club combination, were champs of the Independent league and winners over the fraternity handball champs, Kappa Sigma. No Engineering teams entered the handball play. The liberty, equality, and no fraternities Independents splashed their way to victory in the first annual All-Campus swimming meet. Winners in preliminary trials among the frats. Engineers, and Independents represented the three divisions in the tank competition. Bob Soles, Delta Tau Delta, took individual high point honors. Pi Kappa Alpha nosed out Phi Epsilon Pi bv one point int he interfraternity events. Andy iosko was the only first place winner among the Engineer entrants. Three firsts and four seconds won the title for the Independent tankers. 242 Hot competition in softball, tennis, horseshoes, golf, and outdoor track highlighted the spring intramural program. Old man weather stepped in to hamper the spring program, but the spring vacation gave chief-executive Jim Potts a chance to get his schedule running smoothly. Gamma Gamma Woo, Sigma Alpha Mu. and Oil and Gas were the three defending champions with the frat champs having the best opportunity of repeating their triumph due to meal ticket Lou Mcndlow. Delta Tau Delta, defending champions in tennis, golf, and horseshoes, had a veteran team on the field in each of these sports and looked like a certain repeater. With Jones, Kramer, and Kennedy handling the golfing assignment, and Hamilton teaming up with Kennedy in the ringer sport, little hope of dethroning them had been held. Newman Club and Oil and Gas faced a strong field as they attempted to retain their laurels in golf. low did they sne ik iti tillin' 243 WOMENS The Women Tuck S hoppe Spring Dear Mow, Could you please send next month's allowance.

The year got under way at the annual Fall Play-Day when the women on the campus got a chance to play at whatever sport suited their moods. After fully recovering from stiff legs and stoved fingers, W.A.A. started work on the biggest social event of the year, the Bal Mystique. Question marks served for admission tickets, red diamonds for awards, while original millinery styles created and modeled by the freshmen were the feature of the evening. Prexy Joy Hartman did the ’’Boomps-a-daisy with Cap and Gown star, Fred Kelly. Under the guidance of the Mistress of Revels, Betty Crowe, freshmen presented clever skits aided by masked W.A.A. members.

Despite frozen syrup for the pancakes, cold feet and red noses, the girls enjoyed the skating and skiing. Programs for the March Health Week were aimed at raising health standards of college women. Co-operating with Women's Choral in the production of Dido and Aeneas, W.A.A. furnished the chorus for bailer numbers. This meant hours of practice. The fine performance was their reward.

But, waving aside all the ' It can'r be done's, ’' the screwy Sophomores let go with a month of cr-r-axy publicity. Each day brought something different: tickets priced at $1.98, a fancy dress parade, the Screwball News, a graveyard for those who wouldn't buy tickets! And tonight hundred of nuts, led by Kernel Jack Stauff, danced the Screwball Hop into the merriest prance of the year, with Dick Stabile providing five and with live ducks as door prices. I received four cents for wearing red socks, but lost fifteen cents for not wearing white shoes, while Polly got a gold screwball pin and ... a dance program on eight by eleven cardboard! I hear that the Sophomores' Screwball Hop ended up as one of the most financially successful dances in years: it certainly leaves the other dance committees a hard nut to crack. Peten.

The committee and a turkey had, in the elevator lobby the week before, propagandised the merits of the dance to the innocent mob. So Peter and I danced off to the Syria Mosque. The sweet notes of Songs by Long were already scintillating as I was given a Mayflower compact and Pete a check-book dance program from the Bank of Miles Standish. Later I noticed that the lucky (?) couple receiving the door prise looked rather bewildered as they claimed their live turkey amid the cheers of the Pilgrim Prancers. After a nifty floor show and refreshments, Peter and I decided to ivalk all the ivay home.
