� 13] Published by the Owl Staff for the Senior Class of the University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. HAND IN HAND AT PITT • • • CONTENTS CLASSES MILITARY Symbolic of his mentality are the hands of man. When the brute learned to use its hands, it became man. And as we look at the hands of the professor, of the artist, of the athlete, we see the man . . . each reveals himself in his hands. His motions, his gestures are expressions of himself. When man meets man, hands clasp; a story is told in that meeting of two hands. They can touch limp and cold or they can grip firm and warm. Footsteps sound beneath clasped hands . . . and they tighten to seal the spirit of Pitt. The footsteps crowd the arch of hands, for they are the steps of many students bound by a common faith. ORGANIZATIONS FRATERNITIES ATHLETICS SOCIAL LIFE ADVERTISEMENTS A short time ago, in 1938, we were full of hopes, full of promises, full of ambitions. We were rosy cheeked smiling young men and women wearing green pins and arm bands. We sang Hail to Pitt and the Alma Mater. We were eager and determined. As the semesters rolled on, they tumbled us into the swirl of college life. The traditions of Pitt were our traditions. We studied hard, played wth activities, and were tapped to Cwens and Druids. For the next year and the next, our life made us confident. With this confidence we entered our senior year. Then came that December 7 and we were at war; the world that had encouraged us was now hostile and indifferent. Many of us felt that all we had worked for these years was for nothing. But was all our work for nothing . . . from the decay all about us don't our opportunities and incentives increase? The tragedy of the times broadens the demands made upon us. for it will take brains and men with the ability to use them to set this human society in order again. Perhaps we are fortunate to be living in an age which gives us the opportunity for the fullest use of our knowledge. We have not engaged in vain pursuits, neither have we lost opportunities nor have we wasted four years. The college life captured on the pages of this Owl is not an end but a beginning of a new and greater life for us. Ours will be a better tomorrow. I«] To the hundreds of Pitt students and faculty in the armed forces maintaining a fight against all enemies to preserve the principles, welfare, and independence of the United States of America. TODAY . . . To a casual observer, the Pitt Campus on the one hand is materialistic; on the other, it is picturesque. Away from the smoky industries lining the Pittsburgh river banks, towers the Cathedral of Learning in majestic splendor as “the central symbol of creativc-ncss and of achievement in the Pittsburgh district”. Concrete floors, walls of Indiana limestone, and structural steel frames are only a partial description of the campus. Pitt is more than all this. From the cultural viewpoint, the Cathedral stands as a romantic vision surrounded by a campus of colorful sights that is part of the natural beauty found ... Pictorial here. The photographs were selected with this in mind. We pass them on to you in hopes that they bear us out. Summer and Spring hold for us a special charm. The air is full of a thousand scents. Our very life becomes luxury. At our leisure, we lie on the grass [ ioi Front the North enhance of (he ca fi uis, students stroll donut the O. I) K. walk luted with slender trees that lead to the Cathedral, t he scenery at Pitt is as carted as the students you meet. beneath the shade of a tree and the shadows of the Cathedral feeling as though we belong to the growing things about us. Those having class on the first floor listen to the birds chatter in the trees besides the windows. Spring on the campus is gorgeous, romantic, and vibrant. ... Pitt Thousands of visitors come here each year to view the Cathedral, the Stephen Foster Memorial, Mellon Institute, and the Heinz Memorial Chapel in its beauty of material and workmanship. No less important is the campus itself which inspires us to create and achieve, the source of the value of education and of life.

Ceiling portrait of outstanding leaders and a hronze relief of the President-Liberator emphasize the nation’s strong | ersonalitii-s. THE SYRIA-LEBANON SEMINAR ha the ceiling imported from a seventeenth century house in Damascus. Arabic designs, grilled windows, and deep cushioned benches give the atmosphere of the near East. Surrounding the Commons Room of the Cathedral of Learning is found a new type of classroom—the nationality room. The nationality rooms, which were presented to the University of Pittsburgh by the racial groups represented in Western Pennsylvania, interpret and typify the cultures of the people who built them. Taken together the nationality rooms represent what the people of Western Pennsylvania want their children to have in their hearts and mind. The first floor location of the rooms lias been deliberately chosen to symbolize the fusing together of these cultures into the modern American educational system found in the Cathedral of Learning. One must see these rooms to understand how this fusion is completed. Nowhere in the world are these nationality rooms duplicated; nowhere under one roof is there anything similar to them. NATIONALITY ROOMS THE polish ROOM has a richly palydiromed beamed ceiling adapted fwni the fifteenth century reception hall «.f WftWd Castle in Cracow. In tho boy window stands the only rephea of the famous Jagiclloman astronomical clock made abotit IS 10. THE GREEK ROOM, a seminar in ;Hjn- classical design, the finest Pentelic, Eleusinian, and Kokinara marbles have been quarried. Completed and in use are Swedish, Scottish, Russian, Early American, German, Czechoslovak, Greek, Italian, Chinese, Lithuanian, Polish, and Syria-Lebanon classrooms. Soon to be ready are Yugoslav, Rumanian, Norwegian, English, French, and Hungarian rooms. In the nationality rooms are taught philosophy, mathematics, poetry, art, technical, and scientific subjects, but the hope of the builders is that hours spent in these rooms will encourage students and faculty members to interpret the human values of the subject to their own lives. THE IITALIAN ROOM recreates the spirit of the Renaissance with old walnut panelling, red tile floor, and sand-stone fireplace. Venetian glass windows contain leaded glass insignia of the Italian universities. CHANCELLOR Dr. John G. Bowman ADMINISTRATION CHANCELLOR BOWMAN For many months the University has been keyed up for defense, but now it is preparing itself for war. Every student and every faculty member is keenly conscious of the vastness of the problem ahead. Each is aware of the need for a program for protection. Every individual in the university knows that for a successful completion of such a program we must have a unifying force, a leader. And we all turn for this leader to Chancellor Bowman ;wc feel the warmth of his extended hand. All of us have a quiet faith in the man whose dreams and efforts have built for us the Cathedral of Learning. When we look about us and feel the massive strength of this building. we recognize the power of his hand behind it. and we feel secure. When we see the success of his planning, we know that through his guidance we will evolve the program for which we are striving. Constantin Fotich, Yugoslavian minister, honors Dr. Bowman with an award from his country. This is one of many awards bestowed upon him by the nationality groups. [25] MR. RUFUS FITZGERALD MR. FITZGERALD wonders about next year’s budget. Dignified Rufus Henry Fitzgerald, Provost of our University, remarked at a football rally in Soldier’s Memorial Hall that school spirit this year was “the best ever”. Students bc-came better acquainted with the Provost this year, for he appeared before them at several University functions. His education at Guilford College, North Carolina, the University of Tennessee, his work at the Mississippi Agricultural and Mechanics College, and his experience at the State Colleges of Iowa and Tennessee have acquainted Provost Fitzgerald with a variety of campuses. He has brought their influences here with him at Pitt. For those not familiar with his work at the University he says, ‘‘I work with the deans, with academic standards, and with the personnel budget.” DR. JOHN WEBER I)r. John Weber, Secretary of the University, is a true Pitt man. Beginning with his student days in our School of Mechanical Engineering, he has advanced, since 1010, from instructor, to professor, to head of the department of Engineering, and finally to his present position. As supervising engineer of the Cathedral, he has helped construct the building that is the very heart of the University. Active in city affairs, he has been on the City Planning Committee, and is. at present, on the Board of Managers of the Juvenile Court. During World War I. Dr. Weber served as a Captain of Engineers and was on the Automotive Committee of the War Industries Board. As an ardent football fan he claims to have been present at every home game since 1904.

Outside the class room you can't distinguish them from any other group of intelligent people. They enjoy the recreations and activities of all healthy minded people. And they enjoy mixing socially with their students. The pictures on this page show them in typical faculty gatherings. O.D.K. celebrates its banquet attended ing leaders in twenty-fifth anniversary at a by faculty and outstand-and out of school. A favorite among students and popularly known as “Doe is the head of the Men's Student Health Service. DR. HAROLD C. CARLSON. This used-to-be-carrot-top coaches the l itt basket lxill quintet as a side from his regular work. In no other teacher can Pitt women find as much consolation as in DR. AULEENE JAMISON, Director of Women Health Service. Pleasant and charming, she often speaks to many groups on Boy Meets Girl relationships. If the fish that arc caught by red-headed DR. MONT GABBERT of the philosophy department even partially equal him in size, then you am believe his fish” stories for he is a giant of a man. DEPARTMENT Hidden behind stacks of schedule cards is efficient J. G. QUICK, Register of the University, who concerns himself with the distrilmtion of blue-prints and the interviewing of prospective scholarship recipients.

ELMER Head of the Soci ology department, with his royal ancestry and Wisconsin farm lxickground, is never at a loss for a story to illustrate a sociological point.

LELAND BALDWIN not only efficiently heads the University libraries, but also finds time to write. Some of his past works are “Pittsburgh, The Story of a City' , “Delectable Country , a best seller: he is now working on a book that will probably lx published in the fall. HEADS WALTER B. HOVEY-This year Professor Hovoy glows as he teaches his classes in the newly completed Pine Arts Room. His quiet manner, dapper clothes, and sense of humor make him a favorite with students.

JAMES STINCHCOMB, professor of cs and head of the department, delivers his ■es with knowing dehljcration and merry :1c in his eve. DR. ELMER D. GRAPER reigns supreme as King Quiz of Pitt . As an authority in political science, he is unquestioned. An interesting lecturer and a philosopher of t old school is DR. MARION McKAY, professor economics. He always advocated preparedne; and long More the war, he predicted the imper ing struggle. [31] DR. JAMES S. TAYLOR'S friendly grin gives the math students a moral boost. Although as head of the mathematics department he is kept quite busy, he is interested in student problems. MRS. J. K. MILLER has the ability to make anyone feel at home whether he is u shy freshman at the Wednesday tea in the Commons Room or a distinguished visitor dedicating a new Nationality Room. ROBERT X.

OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF WOMEN MISS HELEN POOL RUSH checks on definitions. Twelfth floor Cathedral is the first line of action for women’s activities at Pitt. Here one is certain to receive a sympathetic hearing and kindly advice from Miss Rush and her two assistants, Miss Todd and Miss Glasser. The personalities of Miss Rush’s two assistants, who aid in carrying on the work of the office, contribute considerably to the congenial atmosphere of the office. Miss Marjorie Todd has the important job of arranging for the housing of women from out of town. Miss Todd also helps the Pitt girl who is in need of part-time employment. A Pitt graduate, Miss Harriett Glasser is another enthusiastic member of the twelfth floor office. Besides advising the chairmen of the various organizations on campus, she keeps records of the women’s activity eligibility. The guiding force of the twelfth floor is Acting Dean, Miss Helen Pool Rush. Her great faith in young women is an inspiration to all with whom she comes into contact. Miss Jane Key and Miss Kay Sturm are the two friendly receptionists in the office. They handle the secretarial work and see that everything runs smoothly. Life after commencement is fuller, finer for having known and been associated with the office on the twelfth floor. The staff waits to greet Freshman woman Marjorie Todd Miss Jane Key, Miss Catherine Sturm Miss Harriet Glasser OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF MEN When campus leaders and activities men brought their problems to 809 this year, they found new counsel and new advisers. Presiding over the busy domain that is the Dean of Men’s office is Acting Dean of Men, Theodore W. Biddle. No stranger at judging ideas, plans, and men. Mr. Biddle drew from his store of experience to answer the many questions brought to his desk. To the difficult job of coordinating the varied and expansive activities of Pitt fraternities came personable Roy H. Umble capably performing his task with vigor. Band director Robert Arthur was another new name to be painted on the door. His was the responsibility of general adviser to the University’s many diverse activities. Replacing Ed Williams in the placement bureau, the job of finding the best places for Pitt graduates became the trust of Lawrence Irwin. Inspite of new faces and new problems. Mr. Biddle and his associates were more than equal to the demands made of them. MR. THEODORE W. BIDDLE settles men’s problems. MR. ED WILLIAMS finds us jobs. MR. ROBERT ARTHUR counsels activities. DEAN OF MEN SECRETARIES: Kesseler, Cubbison, I orficlcl. MR. ROY UMBLE advises fraternities. MORE OF THE FACULTY English departments' Hunt, Hunter, dbd Jones enjoy an afternoon tea.

Note the girls have Maehesney dreaming, but tiic Deans are so practical. The faculty members mix well with the students, and share «heir social life. They are the people who chaperon our dances; tltcy arc people who sit with us at | cp rallies and cheer for Pitt. They cat side-by-side with ils at our banquets; and wc listen to their dry humor ami serious words after we eat. After an ODK banquet, Ted Biddle gives Stan Balfour a friendly grin as they recall their college days. Or. Crawford joins the English Department at mid-day refreshments.

Though far from the comforts of home, the ■‘boys eat a hearty meal at Freshman Camp. Head-Gunner, Carlson tells another one at his table. Often our faculty has its own get-to-gethers. Each department holds tens at which the members gather for informal discussions. Both the men and the women are frequent luncheon guests at our sorority and fraternity houses, and they dance at our fraternity house parties. A fraternity banquet is newer complete without the presence of a few faculty mcmlwrs. Mrs. Duflfus catches the camera lens at the Phi Ep Senior Banquet.

Kleottnrc nn l Kitty I ou smile for the CLASSES Take an ordinary classroom door and watch the beating it gets during the changing of classes. The impatient students on their way out pull on its stubborn knob, hold it open for those in back, and bang it against the wall until it finally comes into the gentler hands of the instructor who closes it quietly. Then for a few moments he stands quietly until the next mob rushes into the room. Now it is pushed, sometimes by fat heavy hands that shove it open, sometimes by soft painted hands that weakly struggle against its bulk. The late comer hits it a solid blow as a boisterous salute. Inside the room the hands are still busy rustling the News, probing in pocket books---conscientious hands that leaf through texts, and relaxed hands whose idleness shows that their masters are already on the way to sleep, and finally the earnest hands which grasp the pens and pencils. The class has begun. And so we begin the most important part of this book, the part that makes Pitt a Univer$ity---the Classes. [40] 111] The expressive hands of he professor shape he ac ivi ies of he s ndenf and direr his work into productive channels. [ 12 ) ALMA MATER NANCY CRAWFORD Each year one senior girl is chosen by her classmates to reign as Senior Queen for one year. She is selected for her character, her personality, her achievement in academic studies, her participation in extra-curricular activities and her contribution to the life of the University. Alma Mater, another outstanding senior girl, crowns the queen in an English coronation ceremony under the Gothic arches of the Commons Room. The Senior Queen is a symbol. The members of the senior class not only honor her as a person, but also sec in her. and honor in her. their own personal attainments. “Intelligent leadership, personal integrity, and intellectual honesty are phrases that describe the Senior Awardee. And this award is given to the senior man who most closely approaches these standards set up by Omicron Delta Kappa. From the outstanding men a special committee chooses the awardee. Dean Theodore Biddle is the chairman of the committee. O I). K. and the University honor the Senior Awardee by inscribing his name on O. D. K walk.

LANFEAR Because he misses his boys on the eighth floor, the wise and friendly counselor, Dean Lanfear, is always glad when they drop into his office for a chat. Last July, Dean Lanfear moved from his office of Dean of Men and is now Dean of the School of Business Administration. Since the war he has noted a great demand for girls in business administration. He says this field offers broad opportunities. Although too busy to spend much time on hobbies or recreation. Dean Lanfear is a nature and fishing enthusiast. Several years ago he and his wife collected liverworts from thirty-six counties in Pennsylvania, and Carnegie Museum now exhibits their entire collection. DR. LANFEAR reads the latest business journals. Dean Lanfear came to Pitt in 1924 as a professor in business finance. Until 1934 he was head of the downtown Chamber of Commerce division of the University. The Dean sccmr well satisfied after !ti ODK dinner Biz Ads don't work all the time.

CRAWFORD Dean Crawford, combining a high standard of learning with a necessity for student activity. a ccts his school wisely and efficiently. A graduate of Bethany College. West Virginia, where he majored in biology, he obtained his master’s degree at Cincinnati and his doctor’s degree at Pitt. Dean of the College for seven years. Dean Crawford first came to Pitt as a teacher and was appointed director of High School Relations. Primarily interested in the student and his place in the University, Dean Crawford believes that. “Young people must be given every opportunity for working out their own careers. The value of student activities can not be over-emphasized, and as a means toward obtaining that end, the present Student Advisory systems are very effective.” DR. CRAWFORD ponders a moment by his office window. When students are not inking it easy on campus ... One of tlie luxurious reading rooms attracts their attention. Look who's cutting in—doggone it. Intimate discussion groups meet in the smaller nationality room'. MARTHA J. ABERCROMBIE Verona High School. Beta Sigma Omieron President 3 . . Pi Tau Phi . . Psi Chi Eta . . Y.W.C.A 3,4 . .

Our war-time government finds an increased need for men with technical background; and, because of this, DR. ELMER ALLEN HOLBROOK, Head of the Schools of Engineering and Mines, states that the registration in the Engineering School has this year surpassed all former records with a total of 930 day students and 324 evening school students. The school includes the seven main departments of Civil, Electrical, Industrial, Aeronautical, Mechanical, Chemical, and General Engineering. Dr. Holbrook, a graduate of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has worked unceasingly since 1904 and within the past year he has been elected President of the National Society of Professional Engineers and the First Vice-President of the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania. What math are you taking this semester. Bob? The course in surveying doesn't end in the class room. Serious work in the lab claims most of the engineers’ time. ENIORS SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING DAVID W.

I ] DEAN RUTH PERKINS KUEHN Since nursing is an essential defense service, Dean Kuehn is quite busy aiding the need for more nurses. In the local Red Cross Nurses’ Chapter, her responsibility is to train people in home nursing, and to build up the Red Cross First Reserve which serves as a reservoir for obtaining nurses for both the army and navy. Women's clubs, community organizations, and educational groups arc striving to have Dean Kuehn speak to them. The only let-up that she has had from her work was her trip to New York last January, where she is serving on the State National Committee for the Recruiting of Nurses. She will make this trip again very shortly, and perhaps get a rest from her many activities. DEAN' KUEHN leads the women in white. In the hospital the student nurse spends most of her time. She has actual experience with patients and studies a certain numiier of hours each day. But even in the hospital she takes time out for a bit of social life. After a hard week's work the students leave the hospital to spend tile week end with their families, g eniors SCHOOL OF NURSING MRS. ETHEL LAWYER AYER—Stmt hers High School. Ohio . .

BISHOP BROWN Director Brown is a graduate of Dartmouth. Since 1929 he has been connected with the University’s Bureau of Retail Training, and for the last seven years has headed the Bureau as its director. Before joining the Bureau. Mr. Brown was store manager for Hobey Co. and Jay’s in Boston. Mr. Brown’s interests run outside his field. He is fond of flowers and has an elaborate garden around his home. During the last war he was a citation. Once a year Mr. Brown makes a tour to some of the leading universities of the country to recruit for the following year’s course. MR. BROWN checks current business reports THE RESEARCH BUREAU FOR RETAIL TRAINING Prominent in the realm of its graduate schools is the University's Research Bureau for Retail Training. In 1918 the Bureau had its beginning in a committee of Pittsburgh merchants and educators interested in the problems of young people entering the field of retailing. Thus it is the pioneer graduate retail school of the world. The Bureau has as its basis the needs of the young men and women interested in re- tailing and of the business man who will employ these young people. It intelligently recognizes the fact that although the business man desires his young employee to be well-founded in the theories and principles of retailing, he looks for the person who can meet the problems of business with case and competence, the person who is skilled in practical knowledge. The Bureau knows that the student who is best acquainted with the diverse aspects of retailing is the student most likely to solve his own problems quickly; it knows that the business man prefers the well-rounded student. With the student's needs in mind, the Bureau plans its program. It is the graduate school of specialization for students of retailing; it does for the retail student what the hospital does for the medical student. From the program the Bureau sets up, the student can sec merchandising, personnel management, control, store operation, and advertising in action and can choose among them. He gets theoretical and practical training in the field of his choice. Research always plays an im] ortant part in t In- Bureau program. uate work, the young student finds himself and directs his training toward one line rather than blundering about in the business world indefinitely. For in our age of specialization the individual must be skilled in the needs of one field; the student with general knowledge and no specific training is at a disadvantage. In addition to the class room, the Bureau offers the student laboratory work, actual experience. It sets aside two days a week for the student to observe and work in one of Pittsburgh's seven cooperating department stores, in which he meets and handles real business situations. But most important is the fact that during that year of grad- Studcnts make and study charts that disclose surprising facts about familiar store operations. Saturday is a full-time selling clay for Bureau students. Pittsburgh department stores function as working laboratories for the Bureau. 'Hie Bureau library is stocked with the latest books’on retailing. In the library Bureau students keep well informed. [ 1 3 J SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Up the hill, on University Drive stands PENNSYLVANIA HALL where medical students attend classes. DR. WILLIAM S. McELLORY The United States Navy used to have “Bill”; Pitt has him now. A former tennis champ, a letterman in football, and a lover of golf is Dr. William S. McEllroy, Dean of the Medical School “up on the hill”. His many responsibilities at the University keep him very busy, but he always finds time to help a fellow. Although he is not doing any research at present, he has conducted extensive research studies in blood pigment, protein and iron, anemia, and metabolism. Dr. McEllroy, a former Pitt man, served as junior licutcncnt in the Medical Reserve of the United States Navy after he graduated from the University. Later he became assistant instructor in the medical school. Today he is the dean. DEAN McELLROY heads Pitt’s Medical center. From the thirty-fifth floor of the Cathedral, one can see the vast expanse of the upper campus showing Pennsylvania Hall in the background. SCHOOL OF MEDICINE c eN IORS MORTON L.

A medical student writes up a report of his microscope analysis. Preserved specimens supply the nted students with material for study. t 100] DEAN E. A. GILMORE Reorganizing the Law School terms to help his students combine studies with the draft, and teaching in the 'grand manner' of Justice Holmes are both part of the program of the University’s Dean Eugene A. Gilmore. Two years ago he came to Pitt with a background of education and law which has been used to maintain the high standing of the Law School and to give his students friendly counsel and help with their problems. Dr. Gilmore was formerly president of the University of Iowa, and he has been Secretary of Public Instruction and Acting Governor of the Phillipine Islands. The author of numerous legal and educational works and member of many organizations, he has kept a balance lx’tween learning and the social graces. DEANS OF OTHER DEAN WILBER I. NEWSTETTER Versatile head of the School of Social Sciences is developing a program for training workers in government service. He says he has not yet found a substitute for his hobby in amateur radio, but the many miniature bridges he has constructed seem to show that his interests do run into other fields. Every summer he devotes his time to his boy’s camp in Canada. I)EA GILMORE faces a serious problem in Law School enrollment. SCHOOLS DEAN NEWSTETTER: Mis field will 1 more prominent after the war. I 101 1 HALL OF FAME Outstanding in their four year college life for good character, honesty, leadership, and hard work twenty students have earned for themselves recognition in the OWL HALL OF FAME. They know full well the meaning of Benjamin Franklin's bit of philosophy, “Do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of. Depriving themselves of pleasures and good times, they have devotedly given more than what was demanded of them. Each has made his life worth while. Many students were considered by an authoritative committee composed of three faculty members, three Junior women, and three Junior men before twenty students were finally selected. We hope this honor will be an added incentive to those who won fame, and may they serve as models for ambitious Freshmen. [ 103 ] Senior D. J.

In their place will be waving hands when the greetings and the hurrahs begin,- hands that clasp those of a girl in friendship and love,- hands that salute in respect for and loyalty to the nation. These will be strong knuckled hands that squeeze triggers,- dig trenches, and drive tanks and planes,- hands that will string telephone lines and twist barbed wire,- hands that scribble hurried notes from the battlefield. And they will be the hands that work alone in danger, the hands of men who fight courageously and look for no reward. 1122] [ 123 ] A o one objects to binding an officer s sword with ribbons, but on the day of battle, he will tear away the ornament and present the naked edge to the enemy. Colonel Edward L. Kelly. P. M. S. T. Keystone of the arch of national defense is the Reserve Officers Training Corps instituted among colleges to train men for leadership in peace and war. The University’s Coast Artillery unit, founded in 191(J. is the largest voluntary group in the country. Students are admitted to the Corps after passing a rigid physical examination. In the basic course a cadet attends two classes and one drill period a week while advanced students have five hours a week. Upon graduating, these cadets become 2nd lieutenants in the army reserve. Col. Edward L. Kelly, a West Point graduate, heads the Military Department. He is assisted by ('apt. Ramon Dougan of V. P. I. and by Pitt graduates, Lieutenants William Havlak, '34; Donald Campbell, ’35; Howard Husband,’35; and Capt. Merlin Wills, ’27. Besides its present importance of providing young officers, the R. O. T. C. develops habits of discipline, leadership, and a spirit of patriotism. And even if we have no more wars, the training it offers is amply justified. Captain Merlin V Wills. Captain Ramon C.

In a sandy camp sprayed by the salt air of the Chesapeake, the future officers along with cadets of five other universities received practical training in various phases of the Coast Artillery branch. However, camp life was not all firing of 12 inch guns, for there were dances, trips, swimming, athletic meets, movies and KP duties as these pictures will show. An experience they will all remember, the Pitt Cadets came home feeling that an officer's job is a life work of devotion to duty. Cadets were early taught how to go through the ropes .

[130] Faculty Advisor, Lt. Husband, meets with actives and dates at intermission. Chairman Jack Foley and Betty Ann Critic, wait on the steps for the opening number at the Pitt Rifles’ Dance, held in tne Twentieth Century Club. Early comers at the dance were Howard Walthcr and Bill Bardcs. Anxious to dance, they waste no time in checking their dates' wraps. Ever willing to exhibit their military skill, the Rifles staged a November drill for the spectators of the Pitt-Fordham game; a few days later they represented the entire R. O. T. C. at the annual Armistice Day parade. Parents night found them aiding in the ceremonies at the Cathedral. Not to be outdone socially, the Riflemen danced to the music of Owen Pcipcr at their annual Little Military Ball held at the 20th Century Club on December 12. Amid shiny brass and flashing blades on dark blue, the Coed-Captain and oflicers of the Rifles for the coming year were announced. An exhibition of fancy gun drill concluded this “complete military success”. At the entrance, Sergeant Hardison distributes favors to the girls. George Chirigos introduces Betty Jane Case to Doc Ferguson, who never misses a University dance. BAND Over one hundred and twenty band members drill regularly to maintain their rating as one of the finest bands in the East. Mr. Arthur and Captain Dougan deserve much of the credit for the band's fine showing. The autumn of 1941 brought to the University of Pittsburgh a new streamlined marching band that ranks with the finest in the land. Vying with our football team for Saturday afternoon honors, the grenadier-clad marching unit, 120 strong, thrilled spectators with a show unique in style and precision. There were the “Anvil Chorus for Purdue, the huge compass arrow for Duke, and the Piano Concerto for Penn State—all tops in planning, that gave Pitt men broad recognition. The annual trip carried them to Michigan, the reward for all good horn players. To the seated student section the work of the band seemed effortless. But to Captain Dougan. drill master, and to Mr. Arthur, who conceived the original plans, and his expert staff of six arrangers, each afternoon presented individual problems. As the head man expressed it, “Every note played on the field was arranged for that particular occasion. Not to be outdone, the concert band toured the East in the spring with New York City their final stop. A trip to Pennsylvania cities completed this phase of the year’s work. Guy Wallace managed the band until called to the colors. Siegal took over from there. All in all. our boys in blue put on quite a musical show. Major Gall ami Coed Helen Meyer.

Many of them arc taking places for which they have been specially trained. The number of men in active service is too large to list individually. Wc can say. however, that each man is doing his part. On these | ages are pictures of some former faculty members and Students. Of all the Pitt men in military service of the United States three in particular stand as symbols of the spirit behind all of them. Lieutenant BOYD D.

He was one of the fliers who completed a secret mass flight of huge bombers from Honolulu to the Phillippincs in September. Ensign CHARLES F. GIMBER is another Pitt hero. He was awarded the Navy cross for jKtrticipating in the rescue of nine army fliers who were adrift on the Pacific for several days.

This year, in spite of an accelerated schedule, they are as bright as ever. Deft hands, grasping pens and pounding typewriters, were constantly busy throughout the school year. Calculating hands figured budgets for dances and other activities. Ink smeared hands made Owl, Panther, and News ready for publication. Trim hands shuffled papers at executive meetings. On the twelfth floor, Samovar faucets were opened, and tea cups filled by slender fingers. Second semester issued a new outlook with knit-a-mitt clubs and Defense stamp drive. And so activities are still the active part of the student hand---the greatest diversion from texts and lectures---not only for those who go into them deeply, but for those who wear a light pink shade.

Edward Tait Vice President..................... CHARLOTTE Harris Secretary........................................Julia DeLko Treasurer.............................Hillard Krbimkr S.F.A. had a triple-header aim this year to put S.F.A. committees to better administrative use, to plan projects in which all students were included, and “to bring S.F.A. into its own”—that is. to have S.F.A. actually make decisions itself. Roy Ruane, president, later succeeded by Ed Tait, attributed the organization's rise in carrying out this huge assignment to the splendid work of the various committees. Unusually successful this year were the several Pep Assemblies planned by Ed Tablac and his committee which aroused more school spirit than had been seen on the campus for some time. Working also in the ‘football field' were co-chairmen John Hughes and Harriet Harris and the Demonstration Block Committee under the complete responsibility of the athletic department for the first time this season. The Statistics Committee, headed by Thomas Grogan, compiled accurate student survey data by conducting campus polls on the problems of locker shortage, smoking in the Red Tuck Shop, and dancing in Lilly Court. This committee not only worked along with the Texas Campus Poll, but also opened its data to the various Pitt student publications. Interviewing applicants and recommending the most dependable candidates for the chairmanship of class dances was the job of A1 McArdlc and the Appointments Committee. Bob Lesko and the Parking Committee studied the problems of providing parking facilities for Pitt drivers; they also worked with the Safety Committee in an attempt to eliminate school safety hazards. [ 142 ] E 1 Tail Arrangements for the annual Tap Day ceremonies were made by the Scholar’s Day Committee with Virginia Porter as chairman. Gus Wilde headed the Constitution Revision Committee, and Charles Cusick chairmanned the Social Committee which certified the compliance with S.F.A. social rules of all campus organizations and sponsored Pitt’s first Snow Carnival, as well as Open House at Heinz House. The Hook Drive Committee, with Ralph Hines as chairman, proved an especially active temporary committee. Its purpose was to collect books to furnish a library for the boys in camp. Also interested in the soldier boys was the letter Writing Committee co-chairmanned by Mary Bowen and Ed Tait. Looking over this long list of achievements proves convincingly that 1941-42 has been a most active and successful year for S.F.A. PLAYERS IN POLITICS [1-13] S.F.A.

MEN'S COUNCIL President............................Wii.uam Stormek Vice President...........................Harold Oaks Secretary........................................James Rial Treasurer...............................Wendell Deitz A constant flow of ideas for activities men to work on comes from Men’s Council, headed this year by Bill Stormer and M. Wendell Dietz. The most publicized and recognized activity was the Book Exchange which was conducted at the beginning of each semester. Many University students obtained textbooks at great savings and have highly praised this service of Men’s Council. Hard working Bill Rial was in charge of the Exchange this year and produced one of the most successful seasons ever enjoyed by this feature. The success of the Book Exchange is essential to the plans of Men’s Council, for the proceeds are used to finance the Men's Student Loan Fund, another Men's Council sponsored service. I i4i ] Bill Stormcr During the past year Men's Council assisted in the management of the Men's Tuck Shop, until it was closed this spring, and converted into a Men’s Lounge. Other events during the year were the Annual Tea Dance and an interesting Hobby Show. Engineer Frank Evans handled the annual Transfer Smoker, held to welcome students from Johnstown and Erie Centers as well as students from other schools. At present an athletic committee from Men’s Council is making plans for student participation in University decisions on athletic policy.

Association of the University of Pittsburgh represents a unique government organization among college campuses of the country. It is composed of all women enrolled in the undergraduate schools and is governed by a group selected during spring elections. To unite all the women into an ideal friendship by having a well organized democratic government is the aim of the Association. Its purpose is so all-inclusive and highly specialized that a great many standing committees are needed. To guide the freshmen through their first difficult months the Social Committee gives Freshmen mixer dances, The Traditions Committee sponsors Lantern Night, and the Style Committee teaches how coeds dress at Pitt. Jean Brink, the president, inaugurated a series of style shows. These displays illustrated to the women how to dress inexpensively but beautifully and how to select a wardrobe that will lx? striking for four years. Elizabeth Foster, Chief Justice, and the Senior Court guide the elections on campus for women’s organizations. The Traditions Committee, with Hetty Kalish as chairman, sponsored Interclass Sing Day, and the Scholastic Honors Committee, under the guidance of Helen Meyer, fostered student faculty conferences relative to graduate work. These arc but a few of the many projects undertaken by the Women's Self Government Association.

Libby then asks Elinor Barbrow, scribe, to issue invitations to the Fireside Chats which they sponsored. At one of the early meetings Libby announced. “This year we arc to act as hostesses at Dr. Bowman's Fireside Chats each Thursday. Tonight we will make plans to serve as clearing house for women’s elections in the spring. And we must not forget our annual dinner for Dr. Bowman in the Twentieth Century Club. We have a busy year ahead of us.” At this meeting Martha Wandrisco defined to the group the rules concerning freshman women—that the organization merely interprets the rules to the freshmen but never inflicts punishment. Senior Court assists the women students and advises them. With the completion of the discussion the group adjourned to begin a full and successful year. SENIOR COURT Wandrisco, Blatt.

[ 147 ] COLLEGE ASSOCIATION President................................Robert Davis Secretary.........................................Auce Lewis Treasurer...............................Harriet Harris Enthusiastic members of the College Association met on the 8th floor under the supervision of Dr. Crouch, faculty advisor, to plan for their coming social events. While Lois Blotter telephoned the Schenley Hotel to make reservation, and Bob Davis, President, contacted the orchestra, Alice Lewis and Harriet Harris debated whether or not the Sadie Hawkins theme was too worn to use for this dance. The Howdy Hop at the Webster Hall, a tea dance on March 4. and the dance on November 15 were only a few of the social events on the C. A. calendar. Because of the hotel strike, the Kick-Off dance scheduled for October 8 was postponed until November 15 and re-named the Kick- Back dance. This year the C. A.’s biggest task was the reorganization of its constitution. Deciding that the Association was too social and that the constitution did not definitely state the purpose and plans of the organization, the members broadened the program so that each student in the college will feel that he is a part of the association. One of the new features of the association was the accumulation of all data concerning the army, navv, and marine. It listed commissions open to college graduates.

Harriet Harris, chairman of the Demonstration Block, dashes from section to section clarifying directions and supervising displays. Whether it was spelling out Ohio for Ohio State or forming a bugle for Tech, the student body was on its toes cooperating with the cheerleaders, band, and directors. Before the football season was under way, students had been urged to sign up with their fraternity or campus organization section on the ground floor of the Cathedral. But it was on the field that they did their duty cheering our boys on to victory and showing the true Pitt spirit in every game—win or lose. This year for the first time the Demonstration Block was under the direction of the Athletic Department. Profiting by many changes and original ideas, this year’s block was one of the best. Mr. Benjamin Grady, faculty advisor, worked out clever yet simple displays which he submitted to the chairman and the cheerleaders. But it was the excellent turn-out of students that made the Demonstration Block a success.

Breezing in and out of Dr. Lomas’ oflice, wisecracking or serious, one finds a close friendship bred by sincere and honest discussion of world problems, and reaching a peak during the annual debate banquet, held this year on April 9th. This year the opposition crumbled before three irresistible forces—Seyler, Baldrige, and Bycr, who wrecked the hopes of many teams. Led by these three. Men’s Debating Association chalked up many achievements. On their annual barnstorming trip they often appeared before audiences of 6,(XM) people—high spots on this year’s record were at Penn State, and Lexington, Kentucky. This Grand National Assembly at Kentucky called five Pitt men on a 400 mile jaunt. While the sophomores engaged in a tournament at Westminster, the upperclassmen continued their ambitious schedule with numerous forums and discussions for women’s clubs. In December the varsity team handled a huge debate conference of high school debaters held at the Cathedral. Our debaters joined in round table discussion of current questions, fostering closer relations between the city schools. [ iso ] EVENING STUDENTS’ ASSOCIATION To the hundreds of clerks, school teachers, millworkers, stenographers, and first-year college students who enroll in the Evening Classes of the University of Pittsburgh, the Evening Students’ Association serves as a center for University spirit and co-operation. This self-governing council, besides planning a busy social program, has charge of publishing the Pitt Evening News and tapping to the numerous evening honorary fraternities. Inaugurating a year of friendship and activity, the E.S.A. held an Open House Party on October 25. There, amid smooth dancing in the Cathedral Gym and refreshments and group singing in the 'Puck Shop, old acquaintances were renewed and new friendships begun. Functioning through Prexy Tom Schofield’s plan of naming co-chairmen for each affair, the Association held a Thanksgiving frolic at the Diamond Roller Rink. Beneath the blue and white winter Carnival decorations of Co-chairmen Betty Jenny and Charley McAdams the evening students danced to the music of I )ale Sommer’s Band. The support the Evening Student’s Association receives from the students evidences the popularity and esteem it has among them. President....................

Lois Neundorf “Something new has been added to Women’s Speech Association in the person of Miss Ruth Haun who acts as faculty advisor to this organization. With her inspiring guidance and President Dorothy Weiner’s capable leadership W.S.A. had an eventful year. The girls took part in the Intercollegiate Debate and Discussion Group which is comi osed of delegates from the University of Pittsburgh, P. C. W.t Tech, and Duquesne University. Members of this symposium discussed pertinent current problems such as “What is the Role of the College Student in the National Defense Program? Intercollegiate debates have been scheduled with various colleges including Penn State, Washington University, and Randolph Macon. The poetry group has sponsored programs with the Women’s Choral and Modern Dance. Other members of W.S.A. presented discussion program questions before many of the women’s fraternities. They also formed discussion groups for the Pan-American question, which was selected as the topic for a nation-wide collegiate contest. To carry out this varied program there have been dinners and meetings Tuesdays, at 12:30 with President Dorothy Weiner, Vice President Mary Sarantopoulos, Secretary Ann Hombeck, and W.S.G.A. Representative Lois Xeundorf. To their officers and to Miss Haun, their advisor, Women’s Speech Association speaks, “May the Voice of the University Women continue in interest, enjoyment, and effectiveness.” [152] Y. W. C. A. The program of the Y.W.C.A. during the year 1941-42 fitted well with the present war by emphasizing social service. Each committee in the Y had the opportunity to benefit others in some fashion. The Knit-A-Mitt club, led by Jennie Fcdak, knitted mittens for needy children. Eleanor Hallock’s Personality Development Committee offered advice on grooming to Pitt women through a series of clinics. With desire to spread Pitt goodwill abroad, the girls sold Christmas cards picturing winter scenes of campus buildings. Through seminars, worship services, and retreats, Janet Lincoln and Dottie King gave Pitt students an opportunity for worship and for discussion of religious topics. President............ Vice-President .... Secretary............ Treasurer............ WSGA Representative Eileen Boyd’s Public Affairs Committee emphasized peace in its many forums and panel discussions. Lois Miller's membership committee planned dinners; Janet Steeb's Freshman committee presented the inspiring Caritas ceremony. At all of these affairs Evelyn Clements, Chairman of the Social Committee, acted as a gracious hostess and helped create the friendly spirit for which the Y is noted. In all of its activities the Y.W. was led by Mrs. Batz, executive secretary, Virginia Porter, president, and the other officers. Through a spirit of service within the group, Y.W.C.A. helped to foster Christian fellowship on Pitt campus. Virginia Porter .... Lois Howe . .

With these words Rudy Holloman, genial president of the Young Mens’ Christian Association, aptly summed up their year round goal. Before school was even under way in September, the Y. M. C. A. was busily engaged in planning Freshman Camp, now an established institution at Pitt. From social affairs to religious discussions, retreats to Pitt Town meetings, this largest activity on campus includes a concentrated program to fit the student for all phases of life. Bill Hammaker, popular executive secretary, with the help of Herl)crt Pifer. advised and guided proceedings. Closer contact with Y. W. C. A., a task the boys entered into with spirit, resulted in association nights once a month, a night of speakers and general get-to-gether. And then, of course, the highlight of “Y“ fellowship occurred at the National Assembly of Student Christian Associations at Oxford, Ohio. Twenty Blue and Gold members attended the convention from December 27 to January 3. Aggressive, friendly, evermoving Y. M.C.A. can look back upon the past year as one of high accomplishment.

No one worried about deadlines—didn’t we have a whole year to produce an All-American book? Plans were made, revised, and made again—but still remained in the blue print stage. Then the accelerated program was introduced, and the staff members swung into real action. In January and February the pressure was on. and no one failed. Through March it was the editor's turn and again it was an all-out effort. John Brosky insisted on both speed and quality without sacrifice of either one, and he got it.

The Choir’s national reputation has necessitated high admittance qualifications for membership into this select group which practices four times a week. Further proof of the Choir's excellence is obtained in the itinerary of the group's annual New York trip with concerts at such places as Riverside Church in New York City. Hundreds of people in Pittsburgh have heard the Choir's music at the weekly vesper services in Heinz Chapel on Sunday afternoons. Another special feature of the Choir's work this year included the musical expression of a pageant before Christmas vacation in the Commons Room.

Things began buzzing early in the season with Yellow Jacket, a Chinese fantasy; shifted into high gear with Flight to the West; and rang down the finale with The Women. As usual, tryouts were thrown open to the entire school and the final casts provided a more than a rare sampling of Pitt talent. William O. Wilson .... Alice Lewis ........

The girls also did their part for the boys in camp by presenting The Women at Indiantown Gap.

[ 1 3 ] With a roar of its powerful motors the trans-Atlantic airliner took oft' on its flight from Lisbon to Long Island carrying a load of refugees, newspaper people, diplomats, and foreign agents. Flight to the West was interesting in that all the action of the play took place on board the plane. Elmer Rice’s anti-Nazi propaganda thriller is a difficult assignment for any amateur group, but the Players turned in a well-rounded, near-professional performance. Betty Luck and Larry Morris were cast as the just-married couple escaping from persecution in Nazi Germany. Alexander Endy with a convincing German accent gave a fine performance in the role of Or. Walther, a symbol of the ruthless Nazi ideology. Opposing him in many arguments of prin- ciples was Hiram Milton as Mr. Ingraham, an author mirroring our democratic ideals. The whole conflict of beliefs is summed up in Mr. Ingraham’s final speech, . . it is the struggle of irrational sanity against rational madness .. and in the end irrational sanity will win”. Pitt Players third production, The Women, a three-act comedy written by Clare Booth, brought to a close the 1941-42 season.

One cold day late in November, the local Gamma chapter met in secret, considered and reconsidered, and then, with ancient ceremony, let it be known who had achieved. The huge O. I). K. key carried the message the five undergraduates, James Elliott. Hilliard Krcimer. A1 McArdle, Hiram Milton, and Harold Oaks; three associate tappees; and five other outstanding men connected with university life had attained the goal. On another cold day early in December (). D. K., 110 strong, combined its initiation and anniversary into a formal banquet for members. Men famed in various circles, including chapter founder William Brown, spoke, greeted, and cemented friendship bonds. Edward Tait presided at the bi-weekly luncheon meetings while the new members divulged little-known anecdotes about their numerous activities with last spring's initiates; Jack Brady, John Brosky and Jim Dimel.

Tonight there is not only the annual Druid smoker, but the fall tapping ceremony as well. The freshmen are well acquainted with campus activities by the end of the evening. But not all of the evening has been spent seriously. Dan Mash’s humorous skit, and the Druid-cooked dogs help to round out the evening. Druids has continued to be the most active of Pitt’s honorary sophomore fraternities. Remember the Druid Tea Dance? You should—the largest crowd that ever attended a Pitt afternoon dance was there, a four bell success for Jim Plunkett. Druids have often appeared on campus in other activities, too, and under the leadership of John M. Ferguson, no let-down is in sight. [ 179 1 BETA GAMMA SIGMA Kneeling: Bachrach, Frankie. Juliclicr.

As soon as the last talk was given, the initiates were treated to a fine dinner and then settled down for an evening of fun and laughter. Beta Gamma Sigma is to the Business Administration student what Pi Tau Phi is to the College scholar, and each year approximately ten per cent of the senior class is elected to membership. Also approximately two per cent of the junior class is tapped every year, but Beta Gamma Sigma never goes below a 2.2 scholastic average in selecting its members. The Pennsylvania Beta chapter located at the University of Pittsburgh is proud to have as its President, Montfort Jones, and Frank Willetts as Secretary-Treasurer.

Theirs was the task of maintaining the Cap and Gown spirit at a time when there was no show. Because of the accelerated program, the uncertain status of men students, and financial problems, it was deemed advisable to suspend the annual Clip and Gown all-male production probably for the duration. Toward this end, Chuck Sarlxir did his best to sustain the C. . G. spirit while presiding at the frequent luncheon meetings, but the best Cap and Gown morale building was the big smoker held for all men who were a part of the production last year. Tapping of new members this year is uncertain—requirements may have to be lowered because of the lack of material, but C. .

One of the newer honoraries on campus, its purpose is to enable its members to secure a better understanding of the fundamental concepts of economics and to establish a more just regulation of economic intercourse through the education of the populace. Periodic meetings arc held at which some current problem is explained by one who has closely studied the subject, and this explana- tion is followed by an informal discussion among the membership. This year there have been presented at several meetings the phases of the Canadian price control law, effects of the fall coal strike, U. S. and its foreign trade policy, and the recent price fixing bill. In order to stimulate thought on various problems, beginning with this year, an annual award will be given to the student submitting an essay adjudged by a faculty committee as the outstanding work presented.

Shkri.OCK The Freshman Honor Assembly brought Phi Eta Sigma to the fore as freshman men watched the presentation of the annual plaque award to John Fitzpatrick for earning the highest scholastic average in his class during his freshman year. Within a few weeks of the assembly, freshmen again encountered this honorary scholastic fraternity at its annual fall smoker at which time potential tappees, as indicated by their intra-semester reports, were acquainted with the activities of Phi Eta Sigma and had an opportunity to converse with the members. At the spring tapping, which took place on Scholars Day, approximately 5% of the freshman class was tapped. Outstanding among its many activities is its tutorial service which offers free instruction in chemistry, math, english, and many other subjects to all men and women of the freshman class. These subjects are taught by the members of the sophomore class who excelled in the courses during their freshman year. Phi Eta Sigma has as its purpose the development of scholarship and high ideals in its members. Qualifications for membership arc the attainment of a 2.5 quality point average during the freshman year, normal personality, and character. 1J PI TAU PHI Dr. Stinrhoomb. Williams. Belle.

Goal for all men and women of the college who have averaged 2.5 for at least five semesters, Pi Tau Phi honors scholastic work and helps to further acquaintances among outstanding students. To give prospective members a chance to view “life among the learned, the Pi Taus’ held a Hallowe’en party in the eighth floor Tuck Shop. Though it was rumored that the members might suddenly ramble into a philosophic discussion of Grecian Epicurianism, or lightly discuss economic conditions affecting Pithecanthropus erectus both guests and actives had a good time. The following month six new members were tapped into the select circle, bringing the membership up to Ernrst M. Cohn Virginia Portkr . Helkn Meyer . . . Jack Bkixe twenty-five. At another monthly meeting an agent from the Federal Bureau of Investigation gave an interesting talk on the work of the department. The traditional Pi 'I'au open meetings had to be cancelled this year due to emergency scholastic conditions. In the field of extra-curricular activities, the boys and girls of Pi Tau also play a leading part: Helen Meyer and Virginia Porter are active in women’s organizations and Ernest Cohn, Jack Belle and Hershel Markowitz support four honorary keys. However, all the Pi Tau Phi’s might well be considered B. M. O. C.’s in a special sense—they represent the Big Minds of the College.

Norma I ec Koel-liker was features editor of the Panther while Christine Grotc and Alice Lewis shared the role of features editor on the Owl. This year Xylon initiated something new in the way of tapping members. In addition to the annual spring tapping they introduced a mid-year procedure. This was done by printing the name of each tappcc in consecutive issues of the Pitt News. The tappees included Wilma Dobie, Miriam Horowitz, Zclda Fuss, and Alara Russell. Marie Mc-Swiggan, assistant to Robert X. Graham, head of the University News Service, and author of a new children’s book, “The Snow Treasure,” just published by Dutton, was made an honorary member at mid-year.

[ 18«] JOHN MARSHALL Order — Order! There’s bedlam in the courtroom, for John Marshall Club has just been found guilty of being a first class organization for the conversion of pre-laws into law students. The club, named after the famous Chief Justice John Marshall, is made up of men and women with a 2. average who want to learn more about their chosen profession and who display better than average aptitude in Political Science or Economics. The outstanding speaker of the past year was Mr. Rose, a Federal G-man, who gave the pre-laws a pep talk on the merits of a Federal sleuth. Mrs. Marie G. Lindsay, the registrar of the Law School, spoke at one of the meetings on the requirements for application to Law School. Dean Gilmore, speaking at a meeting, stressed the importance of the John Marshall Club in helping pre-law students prepare for Law School. Tapping of new members at the annual spring banquet, and a farewell to graduating seniors ended the year’s activities of the club and it's rumored that there will be no more trials of John Marshall Club, for it has certainly proved its worth to pre-legal students.

Council works to create a better understanding within the school, and among the dental fraternity men. This group is composed of two officers from each of the dental fraternities, meeting monthly in each of the houses in turn. Bob Peters succeeded Herbert Ressler who was president during the first semester. Beside pulling the strings which make frat socials move, the Council is the administrative authority for the Dean Friessell Cup. This cup which will remain permanently with the fraternity which wins it three years in succession, is given for competitive achievement in basketball, ping pong, bridge, swimming, and bowling. It is a cherished prize indeed, which has caused the “dents” to exhibit their varied talents. I 192 j PSI OMEGA The dental boys from North Belleficld Street take a place second to none when it comes to entertaining. This group of “dashing dents” inducted its pledges into the fraternity in October with a dinner held at the University Club. The presence of John E. Gurley, one of the supreme officers, added much to the affair. Psi Omega’s Winter Formal at the Roosevelt has left the fraters and their guests still talking. A Christmas Party at the chapter house for actives and the faculty closed the super Psi social semester. The annual Spring Formal in May at the Country Club promises to rate “outstanding”. As last year’s Dean Friessell cup winners, the Psi O's have their eyes on repeat victories and permanent possession of the trophy. With N. A.

In an effort to reward achievement, an award is given annually to the senior who leads the fraternity in scholarship during his first three years of school; Salvin Silvcrblatt received this year’s honors. It is also the fraternity's custom to supplement its students regular curriculum by inviting men in the profession to give demonstrations and clinics on new techniques. The national organization of Alpha Omega has contributed a mobile dental clinic to the Royal Canadian Dental Corps and, since the United States entry in the war, is completing plans for a unit in the United States Dental Corps. However, the local Omicron chapter's interest in the dentistry profession does not conflict with its well rounded social calendar. The A O’s are always in the heat of competition for the Fricsscll Cup and have crack ping pong and bridge teams this year. A scries of house dances and two smooth formals provided many pleasing moments. All the members looked forward to the formal banquet held in May in honor of the graduating fraters. 1 194 ) DELTA SIGMA DELTA Delta Sigma Delta, an international dental fraternity, is represented on the Pitt campus by Sigma Chapter. Being both a student and alumnus fraternity. Delta Sig forms a vital link between dental students and men of the dental profession. After graduation most of the members go on to prominent roles in the national organization. In order to supplement their infirmary practice and increase their scope of knowledge in the dental world, the Dental Delts frequently attend district conclaves sponsored by the regional divisions of the Delta Sigma Delta national organization. Six members, including the Assistant Deputy Grand Master, Dr. N. J. Ludwig, attended the Cleveland convention held on December 5, 0, and 7. Problems of organization and membership were discussed among the representatives of six universities. On December 9. the Pittsburgh auxiliary of Delta Sigma Delta held a meeting which was attended by Supreme Grand Master, Dr. Guy L. Spencer. Arrangements were made to fully equip a mobile dental unit for the Australian forces in Iran who are commanded by a Delta Sig alumnus. Grand Master . Worthy Master Scribe....... Treasurer . . . .

Because many of the members are evening students, working in the city during the day time, it is more convenient to meet downtown and at a later hour than the other fraternities. Alpha Kappa Psi is a national professional fraternity in commerce. Membership is open only to men in the School of Business Administration who maintain an average of 1.5 and display superior qualities in the fields of commerce, accounts, and finance. In addition to the collegiate members, there are eight faculty members besides the other alumni who have joined the faculty since graduation. Once each month a speaker, an alumnus, or faculty member, is invited to address the fraternity on some topic of interest to students in the School of Business Administration. One of the most interesting of these talks was delivered by Dean Lanfcar at a rushing smoker early in March. Through these talks the boys not only become better informed, but also better acquainted with the alumni and men in the business world. In an attempt to promote scholarship the fraternity annually awards the Alpha Kappa Psi medallion to the junior with the highest scholastic average in the School of Business Administration; it also awards a one hundred dollar scholarship to the most deserving evening student who has completed at least sixty hours. [ 196 ] KAPPA PSI The annual formal dance that the Kappa Psi’s held at the Hotel Henrv proved to be the biggest social event of the year for these student pharmacologists. The affair climaxed a series of social events which included a smoker that was held early in the first semester, a formal dance in January, a reunion dance, and a dinner dance. This professional fraternity, one of the largest in the School of Pharmacy, conducts pharmaceutical research in all of the different prescriptions to show its members the contents of the individual prescriptions. Like true scientists, these students always strive to increase their own knowledge and perhaps benefit the profession to which they aspire. And they arc always on the alert to find new means for broadening their scope of knowledge. They borrow the principles they learn in the class room and their observations in the laboratory and apply them to outside projects. Quite often they conduct experiments at their meetings just for the fun of working and observing. All of their actions center around one thought, their chosen field. The Beta Kappa chapter was founded at the Uni versity in 1913. It taps to its membership only men ranking in the upper third of the School of Pharmacy. President . . . Vice President Secretary . . .

To these ends, the present officers and members of the Cabinet have dedicated themselves. Fulfillment of all three purposes is attained by sponsoring two smokers and two dances annually which bring together for fun and fellowship the technical students of the University. At present, the creation of an Engineering and Mines lounge where the students can take things easy” between classes is the goal of the cabinet. A sinking fund for this project was founded several years ago by a farsighted cabinet and the present group expect to see the start of actual work on the lounge.

In January, the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Tech chapters cooperated and held the annual banquet with Penn State and the University of West Virginia as guests. National officers attended and awards for outstanding work in electrical engineering were made. Programs of the Industrial Engineering seminar are designed to give the student not only lectures in his field but also discussions which acquaint him with the problems confronting the world today. Outstanding speakers, among them many leading industrialists, address the seminars and classroom meetings. Frequently they hold seminars in industrial plants and laboratories so that the students may got first hand information.

The local chapters initiated sixteen deserving Mechanical Engineers into the fraternity and they were given a royal welcome by the boys. A blue ribbon achievement of the season was the publication of the first edition of the Stoker, the Mechanical Engineering newspaper. For relaxation the boys held bowling parties and topped off their season with a Spring dance for members of Pi Tau Sigma and their friends. Since Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineers are similar, they were combined in one seminar for the first semester. The Seniors and Juniors meet separately from the Sophomores and Freshmen. On the Engineers’ social calendar were the annual Senior picnic where Seniors were bidden farewell and the Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering program held at Penn State last spring.

To help create intimacy and association among the fellows, a series of smokers, dances, and picnics arc held each year. Several football and basketball teams were organized by the association to participate in intramural sports. This seminar of Petroleum Engineers and Petroleum Geologists met every Thursday during the semester to hear prominent speakers from industry discuss the problems in the field of petroleum. The American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers sent two of their nationally known engineers to address the seminar.

Its members come from the fields of mining, geology, metallurgy, and petroleum engineering. In 1941-42 their program was limited. Because of the war situation and other difficulties the Sigma Gamma Epsilon activities were suspended in January for the rest of the year. The first semester’s program included several luncheon meetings, one dinner meeting, and a pledge dance in the fall. The annual Freshmen award of associate membership status and A.I.M.M.E. publication subscriptions, instituted this year, went to Gardner Robinson of the Geology Department. Then S.G.E. played true to its past reputation and dug deeper and found its useful place among the problems of today. [207 ] SIGMA TAU First Row: Winkler, Fcduska, Reiser.

HUNT Elite among Engineering fraternities, active in social affairs, Sigma Tau is a goal for every engineer. A silver and a bronze medal is presented each year to the two top scholastic freshmen in the School of Engineering. John Heiss and Andrew Feduska of the fraternity received the awards at the general freshman seminar on December 17. The boys opened a busy social season with a fall rushing smoker at the Stephen Foster Memorial social room in late October. Chairman Hob Pratt’s program of Monte Carlo night—a “gambling” game of fun, followed by Mr. James Potts’ pictures of the Penn Relays, provided entertainment for half a hundred “cligibles”. At the regular monthly meetings and the occasional luncheon sessions, the members heard talks or saw movies on some phase of engineering. 'Pile scene of the fraternity’s first semester initiation banquet was the Royal York apartments where the national president of Sigma Tau, Dr. John Belknap, was the main speaker of the evening. Thirty-two tappees were awarded certificates of membership and a chrome-plated pyramid and rail section, the symbol of Sigma Tau. Closing their social season, the fraternity held its annual Spring Dance and tapped thirty engineers to membership.

FRATERNITIES The hands of the fraternity men join together and initiate a feeling that is warm, that is the spirit of college. These hands grip one another with the strength of men, for the owners of those hands are men. Across the campus stretch the hands of the fraternity leaders to form a close association with the school. In all their activities the fraternities revolve about the school. To work with the University, to aid it to the extent of their abiliy is the prime aim of fraternities. They bring about a close association between the administrative offices of the University and the student body. On campus the hand of the fraternity man is strong. It evidences itself in printed words of the publications, in the gestures of the Pitt Player ... it is a capable and friendly hand. [211 ] Contributing within her sphere, of influence a moral, spiritual, and social development, fraternities display pride in their achievements through the many trophies won in Inter fraternity competition. PANHELLENIC COUNCIL Helen Bucntc Panhellenic Council is one reason why women’s social fraternities at Pitt are so congenial. This group, consisting of two representatives from each organization, aims to develop understanding and fellowship between the groups. Early last autumn fraternity women formally entertained the freshmen at the traditional reception. This reception, with its vases of beautiful flowers, and lovely hostesses, held in Stephen Foster Social Room, introduced the freshmen to the spirit of graciousness and dignity associated with the fraternities at Pitt. After a busy period of rushing came the Panhellenic Ball. However, because of early graduation, it was not held this year. Besides cooperation, the council fosters a competitive spirit between the groups on two occasions, the Intcrfratemity Sing and the Float Parade. The Sing, held on Dcccml cr 8, was a long awaited event in which Delta Delta Delta took first place and Theta Phi Alpha and Zeta Tau Alpha tied for second place. The Float Parade, coming when trees were budding and fur mittens had been discarded, was one of the high points of Spring Festival Week.

Florence Hetherington, the A. D. Pi who controls the strings on the money bags, was explaining how the budget for the dance was met. In another group Jane Musser, this year's leader, Dorothy Segelhorst the vice leader, and Sara Staude, the woman who records the business and reads “the minutes of the previous meeting’’, were discussing the plans for the Winter Outing to be held at Laurel Ridge. This outing is held under the auspices of the Women's Athletic Association to which all A. D. Pi’s belong. [214] ALPHA EPSILON PHI Top: Slutsky, Lcfkowitz, Land y, Hirsh, Polk.

They tell us that the seventy-seven respectable families in the Bellefield Dwellings were just getting used to a normal existence over the summer when—bang! the vacation was over, and all the Alpha Epsilon Phi’s came trooping back to their fourth floor apartment. When the twenty-first of October rolled around, all the sophomore sisters got out their pens and paper, sent notices to the alums, and proceeded to hold a Founders' Day celebration. That was the first social function of the year. After Founders’ Day was over, activities really started. For it was then that chairman Mildred Rosenficld presented plans for the annual Scholarship bridge on November 9th. Nobody minded the work connected with the affair because the bridge was a big success. From the proceeds of the bridge Alpha Epsilon Phi presented three summer session scholarships vocal, instrumental, and sculptural—to children selected through the Pittsburgh Hoard of Education. ()rchids and pastel formals came next—the Winter Formal. Then during the Christmas vacation they all let down their hair for a Pajama Party at the sorority apartment. Then came the important business of a successful fall rushing season. Our National Dean, Rcba B. Cohen, graced this year’s rushing and made it particularly impressive. This year Alpha Epsilon Phi’s at Pitt are celebrating their “coming-of-age” birthday. They are twenty-one and quite willing to put in their vote—this time for a lovely-as-ever Spring Formal at Westmoreland Country Club.

The Founders’ Day banquet took place in the main dining room of the Ruskin on December 12. The actives under the direction of Lois Howe, president, decorated the whole room in the fraternity’s colors of ruby and pink and their flowers, the Richmond and Killany roses. During the delicious meal, Jennie Fedak and Tina Kamaris, who were seated next to some of the alumnae, told them of the fun the Beta Sigs had had at a party in North Park the week before. After dinner Lois Howe gave an “In Mcmoriam” speech for Catherine Turner Spenser, one of the foundresses, who had died just a few weeks before. Then the pledges, Nellie Baltic, Florence Depew, Carol Sands, and Marjorie Coats-worth, amused actives and alumnae alike with a clever skit. Mrs. N. C. Burnaugh, national officer and chairman of National Panhellenic Council, addressed the active chapter. At ten o’clock the informal meeting was adjourned. Pat Miller and Jean Krafty slipped a few roses from a vase to take home as a keepsake of another wonderful Beta Sig party. I 2W | CHI OMEGA 175 North Dithridge is a brick house with a brown porch. Here Chi Omegas spend every spare minute because they love to get together to chat, as most women do. and because they work together on so many things. When Jackie Pike found out about the contest for Junior Prom decorations, the die was cast and artistic heads got together and artistic fingers were set in motion. And within the red brick walls was created the beautiful prize-winning crest. Of course a casualty or two caused by an over enthusiastic pair of scissors was immediately remedied by efficient Peggy Lehner. Tireless planners. Chi Omegas make good use of their frequent house affairs. They never give a dance or party without clever decorations on an unusual theme. Joan Bie-lau and Jane Blair are often responsible for the themes, and spring formals are their specialties. In a more serious vein, the girls do much research in order to choose the most outstanding American woman of the year. At a national tea the chosen woman receives an award. This year they gave the award to Carrie Chapman Catt. Chi Omegas are all interested in personnel work. They show their enthusiasim in their activities and nurture it in their discussion. Maybe in the near future some very fine personnel workers will get their ideas fresh from a session at the Chi Omega house.

The knitting project which they had undertaken in connection with the local Red Cross had resulted in much more than khaki socks and sweaters. The conversation inevitably ran to the spring formal which would climax the week of exams before graduation. Interrupting this discussion, Minna Kamber declared, “As chairman I feel we should have at least a little discussion about Founders’ Day even though it isn’t until March 17.” “I second the motion,” Divine chimed in, “for this should by rights be the very biggest event on our calendar since it is our 25th anniversary.” “I think we should present ourselves with a silver loving cup,” suggested Blanche Cousin. “After all, 25 years makes us really a great national institution. “The plan is this,” continued Minna when everyone had finally settled the importance of the affair to her own satisfaction, “the program we follow during the evening will be identical with that of every other chapter throughout the country. The events will even be timed.” “But we don’t have to stop our dance when the other chapters call it quits, do we?” asked Pearl Lichtner anxiously. “If you are sufficiently recovered from Masquerade by then we might manage a couple of extra hours. Pearl,” Minna assured her. “Oh. we D Phi E’s are made of tougher stuff than that. After all the masquerade is in February. It only took me a week to recover from the convention in New York at Christmas time and that ran four days without stopping.” “Not to interrupt any profound discussions or anything,” said Frances Berez, “but if someone would just help me finish up this last bundle for Britain, we can all call it quits with clear consciences.” “Heave ho, kids.

The afternoon set aside for slumber and bull sessions was transformed into a lively party by declaring ‘open house’. These were delightfully informal without chairman or planning. Tuck Shoppces found it impossible to refuse an invitation to make themselves at home. Refreshments consisted only of cokes from a shiny new coke machine and occasionally potato chips. Rug cutting was the order with some couples while other guests were content with the inviting open fire in the chapter room. But there were added attractions—a man from a neighboring fraternity spent one whole afternoon making caricatures of anyone who would stand still long enough. The bridge games were usually kept in check by president Jane Anderson who has unexcelled talent in this line. The old stand-by entertainers would always come through—Betty Sapp with her “Can't Get a Date’’, the trio, Jean Garland doing her bit with the piano, and Nan Crawford's violin solo. The afternoons were ended by outbreaks of songs. Thetas might well be proud of their singing. They boast a number of good clear voices, a wealth of lovely songs, and clever arrangements by the group innovators. Vera Daum and Peggy Coulson. The Kappa Alpha Thetas never closed their door without an invitation to return the next week. Leading all other activities this year, however. was the celebration of the 72nd birthday of the founding of the fraternity. At a luncheon at the P.A.A., Thetas young, and old. far and near, were entertained by the active chapter. Guests at the speakers table received sterling silver pins in remembrance of this great affair. President....................... Vice President.................. Recording Secretary.............

As the members begin to assemble, bridge tables pop up, chatter becomes incessant, and the beautiful new vie, trophy from this year’s Phillip Morris contest, plays the latest tunes in accompaniment.

The regular dinner is replaced by a diet of vitamins.

Then a discussion of “what all the girls arc doing” followed. “Gee, I had a swell time at the dance Saturday, didn’t you?” came from Mary Ellen Tritsch cuddled up in a blue armchair in the corner. “We sure did!” they all agreed. When they were all there, a voice rose above the chatter about the Christmas formal at the Jacktown Hotel, knitting, monthly Phi Mu bowling parties, and Tuck Shop experiences. It was the voice of Jean Dochla, prexy, requesting that another meeting of the Phi Mu be in session.

Each year college men think they have found something new in their coed. And we think we have our ideal girl here at Pitt . . . she is the Pitt Girl. Our girl is not the slink-eyed sophisticate. She is the fresh American girl. She is the girl who wears her cosmetics with the proper dash and seasons her speech with intelligent phrases. She is the versatile girl who enjoys a good football game as well as a dance. Printed words can hardly sketch her; pictures approach more closely a true representation of her. We hope a combination of the two will convey our meaning to you. Who could resist a sales y� irl like this one? Freshman women gather for a publications unit meeting.

In spite of conflicts and a jittery semester, Delta Tau Delta found itself in an enviable position as it ended a successful year as a powerful influence on campus. Although the year was a critical one for fraternities, the Celts speeded up its program and strengthened its aims. The chapter turned in the greatest number of books for soldiers, gave the most money for crippled children, and supported many campus affairs a hundred per cent. Rushing season yielded thirty-three men which led the campus for the second consecutive year. The pledges arc very active having Ken Alexander named outstanding pledge and Andy Patterson, President of In ter fraternity Pledge Council. Varied extra-curricular interests have drawn the Celts to most of the leading campus activities. Jack Stauff, who served as editor Secretary.......................Biu.

On the Celt’s calendar were numerous dances, sports, parties, dinners, Founders Cay Banquet, Mothers’ Club dinner, and a Faculty reception. Seniors graduating arc Stauff, Broskv, Bcerbower. Benghauser. Dickinson, Hanna, Newbury, Sands, Stahl. Svcn-son. and Swenson. These men know the meaning of fraternity. [ 238 ] PHI DELTA THETA Phi Delts’ rushing seasons are usually very successful, and this year proved to be no exception—the boys from Dithridge Street pledged eighteen rushccs. '1'his successful rushing can be attributed to the fine tactics of President Bob Fcightner, Vice President Bob Crissman, and Pledge-master Ken Defoe. The boys opened their rushing affairs on Monday evening with a smoker, which included movies and a performance by a magician. On Tuesday evening, the boys had Monte Carlo night; Wednesday evening’s feature attraction was a theatre party featuring the music of Jimmy Lunceford and his orchestra. Thursday evening was sports night, and Friday evening the boys journeyed to South Park for a picnic. The concluding affair was a very successful house dance on Saturday night. Throughout the week the rushees were entertained by varsity football players. Bob Stodgell and Bob Crissman, and Roy Ruane, President of S.F.A. When silence week was over and eighteen rushees answered the Phi Delt call to frater-nalism, the boys began laying plans for their next rushing season.

All-Point trophy at the I.F. Ball. Athletic Chairman Jim Warne, who received the trophy, expressed his appreciation to all of his brothers who had helped to pave the way to victory. In taking the trophy, the champs won a total of five firsts, two seconds, and three thirds. Their five firsts were gained in the track meet, the swimming meet, the sweepstakes, paddle tennis, and. for the fourth consecutive year, volleyball. Along with these first places, the boys took seconds in golf and spcedball. and third positions in mushball, basketball, and table tennis. 'flic Phi Gams did not confine their activities to athletics, but did their best to make the school social affairs a huge success. Bill Clemmer. member of S.F.A., was chairman of the Junior Prom; and A1 McCardle, who is also a member of S.F.A.. acted as chairman of the Yuletide Festival. Dick Mansfield, president of I.F. Council and the Engineering school, and Bob Eckhardt, business manager of the I.F. Ball, also helped the Intcrfratcrnity Council throughout the year. t 210 ] LAMBDA CHI ALPHA Lambda Chi Alpha lost no time in supporting the Pitt football team as all of the brothers gathered at the chapter house early on the morning of the first football game of the season to go en masse to the stadium. Before leaving the house, after a typical Lambda Chi bull session, the boys filled up with hot chocolate and cookies. As soon as the last cup of chocolate warmed them for the blustery afternoon, the boys were oft' to the stadium. No sooner at the stadium, and seated, than they began to back the Panther by joining in songs and cheers. Half-time found the Lambda Chi’s eating hotdogs and drinking hot coffee and talking over the situation. When the gun sounded ending the game, the boys were so hoarse from yelling that they decided to call it a day and rest their vocal chords for the next game. Lambda Chi’s didn’t back only the football team, though. Every Pitt Player’s show was well supported for Brother Bill Wilson, President and Business Manager of Players. It was culture and brawn both that appealed to them this year. Not to be omitted is their new chapter home, either. This year found the Lambda Chi Alpha’s in a smart new home at the Fairfax Apartments. President............................George I). Bunder Vice-President..................................Fred E.

And looking back over the main events, they seem to have done quite well. They opened the year with a tremendous fall rushing and followed it up with quite a favorable mid-year rush season. In fact the Phi Eps pledged the second largest number of men during the year. And they did their part in keeping up the scholarship average for fraternity men. In spite of the fact that they carried an abundance of credits, the boys managed to end up in second place on fraternity row. In the whirl of social events the Phi Eps were by no means slackers. Dick Barach’s excellent planning made their “Gay Nineties Dance the peak of the year. Mustached actives waltzed their bustled dates from one room to another. And the chapter kissed the boys good-bye at a banquet and spring formal for the seniors. Inevitable at every affair was Stan Barish and his camera taking clever shots. From last year’s Owl photography editor. Stan moved up to this year’s managing editor. And sport fans relish in sports editor Zelenski’s columns in the Pitt News. Just to prove that they are all-around boys the Phi Eps t(K k first place cups in interfraternity touch-football and ping pong. They won first place cups for interfraternity and intramural tennis, as well. I 242 l SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON “How do you stand in the draft?” was the question of the year among fraternity men. Several of the hoys from the S.A.E. house held low numbers—Prexy Bill Stormer and George Smith first heeded the call of Uncle Sam, and there is a disconcerting rumor around the house that more men arc going to be getting up to the bugle instead of the alarm clock in the near future. But in spite of the draft, the S.A.E. s are gathering no moss as they roll along in activities. On campus Bill Stormer heads Men’s Council and drum-major Bob Davis is President of College Association. In Interfraternity bowl- ing, ping pong, and volleyball the boys placed well up in standings. To varsity athletics the Sigs contributed footballers Walt West and Bill Dillon, trackman Dick Wilt, and baseball men Johnny Brown, Jimmy McCullough, and Dave Williams. But all activities aren’t carried on outside the classroom and the fellows arc justly proud of their scholastic average. House dances are getting more and more popular with the S.A.E.’s and every other Saturday night, if you walk up Bellefield Avenue you can hear Glenn Miller or Tommy Dorsey swinging out.

For on this night, the graduating seniors were attending the final big social affair given in their honor by the underclassmen at Chartiers Heights Country Club. All during dinner, Joe Connell, varsity football player and Tom Lamb, member of S.F.A. reminisced with bob Tybcrski and Leonard Fuchs over their college days, while Smitty Charland and A1 Fall were busy discussing plans for the future. After dinner was served and the plates taken away, President Bob Cusick gave a farewell message to the seniors, and then dismissed the boys to do as they pleased for the evening. With confetti, balloons, and banners flying all over the ballroom, the brothers and pledges danced until early in the morning, and then after the last goodbyes were exchanged, the seniors bid adieu to Phi Kappa. [ 244 ] PI KAPPA ALPHA Examination time at the Pi Kappa Alpha house finds a sudden change from activities men who are usually engaged in athletics, politics, and student publications to scholars engaged in statistics, chemistry, and literature. Looking in one room we find President Gus Wilde, who devotes his spare time to swimming for the varsity, or else is leading a discussion at S.F.A. meeting, taking time out for an hour or two of cramming in preparation for exams to come. In the next room, Ed Tait, President of S.F.A. and O.D.K. is studying finance notes with Ben Foote, who has just finished tucking away his plans for Spring Festival Week. Jim Dimel, vice president of O.D.K., and cadet-colonel in the R.O.T.C. is busy taking down notes for his final exam before leaving for the army. Upperclassmen aren’t the only ones cramming, l ccausc it is also the underclassmen’s grades which are taken into consideration for the scholarship plaque; therefore it is no wonder that examination time for the PiKA’s is serious business.

This year their unique thematic house dances filled the gaps between the big events of the University’s social calendar. What really kept them busy, though, was helping their brothers make the school dances successful. They started in December when Gerald Isaacson was Business Manager of the Yuletide Festival; and the Pi Lam choristers brought more glory to the house that night by carrying off runner-up honors in the Interfraternity Sing. In January the boys tied their white ties to help Business Manager Dietz put the Junior Prom in the black—and brushed off their tails again for Chairman Sherman Jube-lircr’s Pan-American I-F Ball in February. Of course Pi Lams didn't spend all their time gadding about—they upheld their high standards of scholarship, activities, and athletics. Permanent possession of the Inter-fraternity Scholarship Award was given to the Pi Lams, who hung it opposite the scholarship award from their national fraternity. Business Manager Julian Silverman kept the Pitt News on the credit side of the ledger, and Hillard Kreimer balanced the books of both S.F.A. and the Owl. In other circles on campus, Hillard sported an O.D.K. key, and Rex Carl Stein served as Vice-President ot Intcrfratcmitv Council. In athletics, the Pi Lams conquered a double crown in Badminton this year, coming out on top in both the Interfraternity and Intramural leagues as well as several second places in other sports. [ 246 j SIGMA CHI Known for years as a scholastic fraternity, the Sigma Chi’s are equally as proud of their social affairs, largest of which was their winter formal which they held one week before the Christmas vacation at the Longue Vue Country Club. This annual affair joined with the Phi Delts of Pitt and the Beta Theta Pi’s of Tech. These three fraternities, founded together at the University of Miami, meet each year in holding their “Miami Triad Dance. The brothers danced to the music of Rusty Williams and decorations displayed the Coats of Arms of the three fraternities. This year the Sigma Chi's published their own local publication, “The Smoky City Sig , with Rudy Holloman, president of Y.M.C.A., as editor. The boys also proved their worth in athletics when they won the I. F. bowling championship for Mark Anderson, prexy of the house and captain of the bowling team. President......................• .

The chapter house on Neville Street was decorated as a night club and a sign reading “Club Sammy” was hung out in front of the house. There was a miniature bar in the living room, and the bartender served cokes and cookies to all; there were also “slugs” for the many pinball machines which were scattered throughout the house. Sandwiches were served at tables in the dining room by a few of the pledges serving as waiters. The evening ended in a blaze of glory as chairman Sig Edelman closed “Club Sammy” with the singing of “Fast and Firm”, the fraternity song of the Sammies as scrub-womcn-plcdgcs began to stack chairs on the table a la Stork Club. [ 2 18 ] THETA CHI It was “cooperation” this year in the Theta Chi house. But this might t e misleading, because the cooperation was not entirely within the house. The major cooperative movement was with the T.P.A.’s. This cooperative spirit was culminated in the Valentine Dance at the house during rush week when the T.P.A.’s entertained rushees and brothers you can guess who fared the best. Brothers Fitchko and Jones ably upheld Theta Chi on the gridiron, and doubled on the hardwood floor to bring the second place basketball trophy into the house. Dances at the house this year were many and not far between. A dinner party after the Purdue game, a bam dance in November, and a dinner dance for the pledges in February are just a few of the high spots of the social calendar of the year for the Theta Chi boys. Bill Russell was awarded the scholarship key, given each year to the pledge with the highest scholarship average. So it was dances, cooperation, and more dances, with a bit of books wedged in to finish another successful year for boys from Dithridgc Street. President . . . Vice-President Secretary . . .

Scotti Debunking all superstition of number thirteen, Alpha Phi Delta organized for boys of Italian decent, was recognized on the Pitt campus as the thirteenth fraternity. It was first planned a year ago, but had to undergo a period of probation, prescribed by Inter-fraternity Council, during which its members had to show a certain amount of activity in academic and extra-curricular work. Those members who formed the nucleus, that today numbers twenty-two actives are: Paul Cerchiara, Carmen F. Capone, John Chaffo, George Sirianni. and Albert Ceravolo. Alpha Phi Delta holds its business meetings in one of the Cathedral rooms and takes part in all academic, political, and athletic programs offered by the University. Its members could very easily be the cross-section of student life here at Pitt; they belong to numerous honorary fraternities, varsity athletic teams, student publications, the Pitt Band and numerous other non-academic activities. A. P. I), is not a new Greek letter fraternity on campus. It appeared here about six years ago, but due to financial difficulties it was forced to bow out of the scene. The boys have a well-rounded social calendar which includes dances, picnics, smokers, and other social affairs. [ 250 ] Roy Ruane and Al McArUle have a light lunch in the Ttick Shop.

I’hi Dclts, Crissman and Stodgoll and a bit of refreshment: ATH LET ICS Living is made worthwhile only by having an abundance of health and a life full of happiness. Cheerful people with emotions that are strong and bouyant make for good companionship and right thinking. And, in this thought lies one of the chief aims of life: learning to live happily with others. All athletes know what this means, for in the great game of sports, one is taught to lead, to follow, to cooperate. If a hundred hands were shown, you would spot the short stumpy hands of a football player and say, he will be able to stand up under criticism; you would point to the imbedded cinders in the knuckles of a track man and say he will compete in a friendly rivalry and be a good loser as well as a good winner; and you will spot hands that grip baseball bats; hands that cut water; and hands that toss a basketball. In all you will know the men who have been taught to join wholeheartedly in living with others. These men who have bodies of perspective, balance, and proportion are a justification and inspiration for the hope of all ages. [ 252 i In tije, as in athletics, records are broken only by possessing a body fit jor the demands made on it, and a mind trained to activity and efficiency. I 253 ] SPORTS AT PITT 'Peaming with thrills the past sports year at the University of Pittsburgh was packed with high spots that made Pitt teams the most unpredictable in their history. When teams were expected to win. they lost: when certain defeat loomed before them, they came through with an upset win. If any one thing could be highlighted in athletics the past year, it would undoubtedly be the 13-0 upset victory the Panthers scored over previously unbeaten Ford ham. The basketball team, too, experienced an “on and off” season. In swimming and track the Panthers were not guilty of as much unsteadiness as they were in other sports. Both managed to display plenty of ability against top flight competition. Despite the fact that Pitt teams were not at the top in national ratings, they did manage to put forth a number of outstanding athletes.

When a team loses heavily through graduation, the outlook for the following season will not be too bright. When a team has a back-breaking schedule without any open dates or breathers the prospects are even worse. But when a team is faced with both these problems, then the result is almost suicide. The University of Pittsburgh 1941 football team had to overcome both these hurdles and consequently finished their season with a somewhat expected poor record. Defeats were handed the Panthers by Purdue, Michigan, Minnesota, Duke, Ohio State, and Penn State. On the opposite side of the ledger, the Pitt team recorded the names of Nebraska, Fordham, and Carnegie Tech. Outstanding for the Panthers were three seniors each of whom won All-American recognition. These included end Stanley Gervelis, guard Ralph Fife, and left half back Edgar Jones.

[ 257 ] mm PITT 0—MINNESOTA 39 The third game of the season and still Pitt had to score the first touchdown. Jones and Stetler made several nice runs but to no avail. The great Gopher team, probably the best in country, was too much for Pitt's weak defense. Led by Capt. Smith and Higgins, the Gopher backficld men sieved through the Pitt line. Meanwhile, the Gopher line checked every offensive effort of the Panthers. PITT 7—DUKE 27 Rated by football experts as the finest team in the Southern conference, Coach Wallace Wade brought the finest offensive machine of his career to Pittsburgh to meet the already thrice beaten Panthers. Again the outcome was the same as that which had taken place for the past three weeks -a one-sided defeat. Duke presented two very fine backs in Steve Lach and Jap Davis both of whom have received All-American mention. Pitt showed signs of life though and managed to score its first touchdown of the season when fullback Johnny Ross scored on a short line plunge. PITT 0—PURDUE G From the opening kickoff to the start of the second quarter, Pitt completely dominated the Pitt-Purduc football picture with a sustained drive which ended just short of the opponent's goal. ()ur boys weakened, however, and allowed Purdue Fullback John Petty to slash through the line from the two yard line for the only score in the second quarter. Pitt fought to get back in the game but to no avail. Jones’ frantic passes missed their mark and the Purdue line throttled the vaunted Pitt ground attack. PITT 0 -MICHIGAN 40 With Hob Westfall and Tommy Kuzma running rough-shod through the Pitt line, the Wolverine trampled the Panther at Ann Arbor. Fumbles and a poor defense both on the ground and in the air combined with an erratic offense played havoc with the Pitt chances of victory. Stan Gervelis alone shone in defeat and consistently broke into the Michigan backficld. All was not lost however! The Pitt band made a decided hit with the Michigan fans.

IhU Pitt couldn’t use the word or enjoy the result for the simple reason that the Ohio State Buckeyes came to town and promptly handed the Blue and Gold their fifth straight setback. With “Special Delivery” Jones leading the attack, the Panthers seemed to be quite an improvement over last week, and at one time even seemed to have a fair chance of winning. The Panther bandsmen, too, were completely overshadowed for the first time this year by a smooth working Ohio State unit. PITT 13—FORDHAM 0 Thoroughly aroused by their five defeats and full of contempt for the high praise given the Ford ham football team, Pitt scored the upset of the year by removing the Rams from the list of the nation’s undefeated by a 13-0 score. For the second consecutive week, Pitt's sensational halfback. Edgar Jones, sparked the Panther’s play with his fine running and defensive performance. It was Jones' pass interception of Blumenstocks pass that clinched the game for Pitt. I 259 Joltin' Joe Connell skirts left end. PENN STATE 31—PITT 7 Smarting from their two consecutive wins, the unpredictable Panthers lived up to their reputation of uncertainty and completely went to pieces before a concerted Penn State running and passing attack. The Panthers gained one consolation from their defeat, however—the privilege of making the first touchdown. PITT 27—CARNEGIE TECH 0 Old Lady Luck continued to smile down upon the Pitt eleven as they completely overwhelmed a hapless Carnegie Tech team and marked up their third win of the year. From the opening kickoff until the final whistle, the Panthers battered the undermanned Kiltie forward wall and tallied touchdowns in somewhat wholesale fashion. PITT 14—NEBRASKA 7 With the football experts throughout the country still stunned by the 13-0 upset of Fordham, the Pitt Panthers moved into Lincoln. Nebraska, and met a potentially strong Nebraska eleven. When the Pitt team came to Lincoln, they had visions of registering their second win of the season, but it was not until the final few minutes of play that that vision came true. Trailing 7-0 at halftime, the Panthers came back in the third quarter to tally and throw the game into a deadlock.

After all didn't Pitt have such stars as Larry PafTrath. Ed Ziolkowski, Clair Malarkcy and Bob Artman returning? They did, but these boys couldn’t seem to form a winning combination. Jimmy Egan joined this quartet to form the starting lineup that lost its first three games of the season to Butler. Northwestern and Indiana before finally breaking into the victory column against Cornell at the Stadium. Triumphs over Carnegie Tech and Geneva gave the Golden Panthers an even break a third of the way through the season.

Pitt couldn't snap out of its lethargy and Doc Carlson’s boys were downed in a return game with Geneva. One of the bright spots in an otherwise disappointing season was the blossoming of Larry Paffrath into one of the greatest scorers in Pitt history. The Butler boy tallied 58 field goals and 22 fouls for a total of 138 points in his first ten games for an average of 13.8 points per game. The Panthers finished their season with games against Indiana State Teachers and Westminster. Even the referee can’t make the genial Doctor frown.

Pitt reached another milestone on the inter collegiate cross-country road this year and on the way discovered a new sophomore star, Bill Curtis, who outran the entire field to take first place against Michigan State. Against the Army at West Point, Curtis brought Pitt's colors past the finish line first with a time of 22:29. His team-mates were not as successful, and the Panthers harriers bowed out with a 20-35 setback. Pitt finished with more defeats than triumphs, but only after putting up a stiff fight with the opposition. Captain John Brosky lead the Olson boys in their first meet of the season against Michigan State, and the Panthers were defeated 34-21. After taking their second meet at Cleveland, Pitt lost to the Army and Penn State before the Panthers entered the I.C.A.A.A.A. meet in New York.

Of these, the Panther squad was able to salvage a win in the Boston meet and the mile relay championship in the Mill-rose Games. Placing was the best they could do in all of the other races.

Carter and Stickel ran in the 60-yard dashes in addition to running on the mile relay team; Carter, being versatile enough to add the broad jump to his other events, and Stickel, not to be outdone, took part in the low hurdle races this season. Carter was the third Pitt man to win the I C 4-A meet title in six years. Carter also took third in the broad jump. Coach Olson looks over the champions. [ 2G5 J BASEBALL Coach Mittcrling wonders: two on, two out, what a spot. This is baseball s senior year at Pitt; four seasons ago the University included the sport in its athletic program. The problem of replacements looms as a large one for Coach Ralph Mittcrling. Graduation cut heavily into last year’s prize squad which won nine of the twelve games played, taking all but three of the regular members. (Among those missing from the team will Ik pitcher Bob Malloy who personally accounted for six of the victories, and Eddie Straloski, Ernie Bonelli, and Guy Guadagnino whose .350 and better batting averages did much to make up the Panther attack.) But even greater than the problem of replacements is that caused by the war and the accelerated college program. The annual spring trip through the south has been cancelled. The possibility of extending the baseball season throughout the summer depends entirely on being able to schedule other teams and on having enough players attend the extra session to make up a team. The Pitt baseball picture has all the unsettled aspects of a current affairs map, its only bright spot being a group of exceptionally promising sophomores.

Captain Cosgrove Although they lost heavily through graduation, the University of Pittsburgh swimming team presented a strong aggregation, one which was capable of meeting the best in country on an even basis. The Pitt team was completely reorganized as a result of the losses from the 1941 team and had to shift several key men around so as to attain the maximum strength. Heading the list of lettermcn upon whom Pitt coach Ben Grady were Herb Cosgrove, Gus Wilde, Joseph OrlofT, Martin Kramer, and Albert Samson. Among the early opponents of the Panther mermen were Rider College, Penn State, and With the coming of the 1942 season the University tennis team looked forward to many successes. Last year’s squad, with six victories against four defeats, showed a strong, well balanced attack, and most of its players are back this season. However, the draft may force the Panthers to use several newcomers in their lineup. Trimble and Grance, each with six singles and four double victories to their credit in 1941 will return to form the nucleus of the 1942 team. Aiding these players will be Nickcson and Reese, both with two years of experience behind them. Other holdovers, Wynn and Jorden, will round out what promises to be the most balanced Pitt team in recent years. Included among the list of Pitt opponents will be Navy. The Middies will be back with the same team that defeated the Panthers last season. Ohio State. In their meets with the former two, the Pitt swimmers turned in impressive victories while against the Buckeyes from Ohio State they met defeat. Outstanding for the Panthers this season were three boys, each of whom is a specialist in his field. Captain Herb Cosgrove handled the breast stroke duties, junior Gus Wilde managed the free style chores, and Joe OrlofT took part in the relays. In addition to the regular meets held with Franklin Marshall, Kenyon, Michigan State, and Slippery Rock, the Pitt swimmers participated in the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming meet held at Rutgers. [ 2f,s l Tennis Team: N'ickcnson, Reese. Trimble. Grance, Wynn, Jorden, Norbut, Manager. RIFLE TEAM The Panther marksmen opened their 1942 season in wobbly fashion but compiled a successful record. They were defeated only by Kansas State, City College of New York, and the University of Cincinnati. These setbacks were more than balanced when the Blue and Gold Riders finally found themselves and registered six straight wins. Other strong teams which faced the Pitt squad were Virginia Military Institute. Michigan State and Cornell. Highlight of the Pitt campaign were the brilliant performances of captain Larry LaSpada and newcomer Bruno Cengia.

GOLF Three lettermen from the 1941 team will return this season to make the University of Pittsburgh golf team one of the strongest in the East. Those golfers who saw a considerable amount of action last season and who arc back for another year are Simpson, Kramer, and Butcher. These boys are expected to fill the numbers 1, 2. and 3 spots respectively. Chief interest of the Panther linksmen will be centered upon the Eastern Inter-collegiate Golf Association championship. The University of Pittsburgh golfers have eleven matches carded for the current season, and with a fair amount of breaks they should emerge with an enviable record. Among those teams opposing the Panther are Princeton, Cornell. Navy, Penn, Penn State, West Virginia, Carnegie Tech. W. J., Slippery Rock, and Georgetown. [ 2G0 ] Golf Team: Bill Kramer, Harry Simpson, Jim Butcher, Boh Walkingham. NTRAMURALS Frank Carver, succeeding James Potts as director of intcrmural sports, arranges summer schedule. Holding to the contention that every student attending the University should engage in some form of athletics, James Potts and Frank Carver, who shared the leadership of the intramural program during the past year, again provided a varied and interesting program. The fall schedule again featured touch football, speedball, paddle tennis and badminton. Five sports occupied the spotlight in the winter program; basketball. bowling, ping pong, swimming and volleyball. Spring afforded the most interesting program, all of the sports being of the outdoor variety. The program consisted of mush ball. golf, horseshoe pitching and track events. This variety of sports afforded a chance for competition in numerous types of athletics for the entire male student body. Paddle tennis champs. On the paddle tennis front, the Phi Gams lost once while winning 17 contests, with the result that they ended three full games ahead of the Pi Lambda Phi’s. The Pi Lams won 14 games and lost four. Bill Colvin matched with alternating teammates Dick Quigley and Jack Davis to record their .044 average. Burt Engelsberg and Lcn W’olk were standouts for the Pi Lams. Represented by lefty Jim Deutelbaum and lanky Bob Broudy, last year’s champion Phi Ep duo came in third. Loss of Wally Hirsch, who teamed with Deutelbaum, affected the team’s chances as they could garner only eight wins while losing 10 contests. Phi Gums lead again in volleyball. Delta Tau Delta's three-season reign over fraternity table tennis was ended this year by an almost unbeatable Phi Epsilon Pi squad. Number one man Alex Zelenski, Pitt News Sports Editor, and teammates Jim Deutelbaum. Curt Greenberg, and Bob Broudy set a torrid pace of 78 wins and 0 losses. Pi Kappa Alpha won second place and Phi Gamma Delta came in third. t 270 J Grady Mittcrling Hoel Shaeffer Martin Hart wig The Pi Lambda Phi's are the new champions of the Badminton League. The Pi Lams ended in first place five full games ahead of the second place Pi Kappa Alpha. Pi Lambda Phi won 18 games while losing only three, one of these losses being a forfeit to the Phi Delts. Jerry LcVine and Jerry Finegold, a pair of sophomores, played in every contest and were responsible in a great way for the Pi Lam record. The PiKA’s and Phi Epsilon Pi were tied for second place in the standings with 13 victories against eight defeats. Dick Kramer, and Tom Armagost and Barney Runk starred for Pi Kappa Alpha, while Cuddy Briskin and Larry Morris stood out for the Phi Eps. Phi Gamma Delta finished in third place with a record of 10 wins and 11 losses, with Delta Tau Delta in fourth place, having nine triumphs against 12 setbacks.

Seniors and the A. E. M. E. Sophomores, with the former victorious. Dave Mamaux was outstanding for the Seniors, while Vera Huff was the Sophomore star.

With a full time summer session being held at Pitt due to the accelerated school program, a summer intramural program was being planned by director of intramural athletics Frank Carver. It was expected that the summer sports would lx: much like those of the spring card, with mushball being the featured activity The same aim of having a sports program of interest to all students to be carried out in planning for the summer events.

Bernice Kueiiner ....Jane Bolster ......Boh Baibri. Mr. C. W. Morgan Composed of all the physical education majors, the Physical Education Club has as its purpose the advancement of professionalism in the field of physical education. Under the leadership of president John Stahl, they gather in the Heinz House once a month for informal dinner meetings at which time prominent guest speakers are presented. New ideas into the field of physical education are introduced and current problems are discussed. Affairs just for fun arc of greatest importance to these students since recreation is one of their chief aims. The memlx;rs of the club supplement this, however, by including movies, talks, and discussions in their programs. Some of their outstanding achievements this year have been the “Blackout Dinner'’ at which time movies of an air raid on England were shown, the Freshman Reception, and the Sport Swing. The latter was a dance held in the Cathedral gymnasium for the honor of the athletes of the University. Perhaps the biggest event held by this club all year is Recognition Night. It is here that the club honors the outstanding junior and senior students in the field of physical education. An innovation this year is the Student-Faculty forum composed of members of the physical education faculty and members elected by each class. The aim of this group is to coordinate student-faculty opinion and also to work out policies for the physical education club. Members of the Student-Faculty forum are: Harriet Harris. John Stahl, seniors; Bernice Kuehner. Norman Fry. juniors; Mary Jane Griffith, Walter Jones, sophomores; Marcella Struzcl, Fred Wilmer, freshmen. I 273 ] WOMEN S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION If Pitt students can't dance, it's not the fault of W.A.A., for one of the new items on the program of this organization was the biweekly jam sessions in the Cathedral gym. Peggy Brennan, chairman of the Co-Recreation Committee, acted as dance master. But Dolly Acker, the president, claims that the association taught more than dancing. I larriet Harris, intramural sports chairman, had the job of coordinating a tremendous array of tournaments which gave every Pittite the opportunity to enjoy himself, to become adept in a variety of sports and to get his share of exercise. These tournaments, which involved class competition, varied from tennis, directed by Jessie Schutte, and badminton, with Geraldine Rust as chairman, to basketball, lead by Ruth Mendoza, and volley ball, chair-manned by Jane Bolster. And, for still more variety, the sports committee provided tournaments in bowling, with Irene Komorski as head 'striker; in archery, with Florence Levy playing William Tell: in swimming, with President................................

Korch, Harris, Mendoza, Brennan. One important aim of W.A.A. was better health, and Christine Grote’s health committee provided a complete program to help fulfill tins aim. It included the Posture and Fashion Clinic in coordination with the Y.W. C.A. and Women’s Choral, lectures by Dr. Auleen M. Jamison, and provisions for student relaxation in the gym between exams. Clara Hecht and her membership committee climaxed their fall membership drive with a picnic in South Park. Gizella Linder, historian, kept the scrapbook, and Mary Saranto-poulos publicized all the events of the year. including those arranged by Midge Anderson and her social committee. This committee arranged for “Bal Mystique”, traditional W. A. A. party for Freshman women, at which Carl Heinrich had Freshies and Seniors alike “rhumbaing”. Also crowded on the social calendar were a barn dance, complete with straw, chickens, and barmaids; a Scavenger Hunt for February Freshmen; a Christmas Party; Snow Party in North Park; a Mid-semester Outing at Laurel Ridge; skating and swimming parties; a spring bicycle excursion through Schenley Park, and the annual Installation Banquet. [ 275 ] WOMEN’S SPORTS That each co-ed may express her desire in recreation, the women’s sports program provides a wide diversity of activity. It is largely set up for individual competition and to have at least one sport in which a girl is interested. Some of the more popular sports sponsored by the woman’s physical department are basketball, tennis, archery, badminton, bowling. volleyball, and modern dancing. The department assisted by the W.A.A. also had charge of lawn bowling, ping-pong, shuffle board, and riding. Edna Tarr, director of women’s athletic program. In the spring archery is the favorite among the women's sports. FOR EVERY GIRL The women's athletic program is a broad one: it offers activities for those who do not care for the more strenuous sjKirts. The girls find a pleasant hour of relaxation away from classes playing shuffle board, building pyramids, or just tossing the basketball around.

Hands portray the activities at social affairs: delicate hands picking up dainty sandwiches from a round glass platter, strong, masculine hands flicking ashes from a cigarette at a fraternity meeting, capable hands decorating the Main Ballroom with streamers, balloons and posters, limber hands of the orchestra leader directing smooth music, the slender white hands of a girl fastening boutonnierre into her escort's lapel. The hands of the student are continually being trained to create and to build, and in social life they are striving to better the art of social relationship and thus to build the very character of the student himself.

Mr. Walter R. Hovey, Mr. Reid Hastie and Miss Eleanor Mitchell, members of the Art Department, judged the contest. And the judges looked for all types of hands . . . thin hands, fat hands, hands that were rough and expressive, hands that were delicate, beautiful hands, and hands that were beautiful in their ugliness. All through the book you have seen hands as the motif for pages introducing main sections. It was the hands of the contest winners that you saw, and we want to express our thanks here to the following owners of those hands: Classes Robert X. Graham Military Allan Briney Organizations James Patterson Mary Hunter Fraternities Athletics Social Life. | Vince Antonelli James Patterson Viola Boydjieff [324 ] OUR APPRECIATION With the declaration of war this thirty-seventh volume of the Owl had to undergo a complete change. To present a true picture of University activities during 1942 this change was necessary. The adoption of the tri-semester plan forced on us the great task of producing the Owl in a shorter time. We arc gratified to those kind friends who cooperated with us in offering suggestions for style and substance. We are happy to acknowledge their goodwill and encouragement. Our great desire is to see this Owl. in passing from hand to hand, give pleasure and enjoyment in the years to come. JOHN G. BROSKY, Editor Chancellor John G.
