BIDDLE ROBERT SULLIVAN PUBLISHED BY THE OWL STAFF FOR THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH PITTSBURGH. PENNSYLVANIA I FOREWORD In the pages which follow we have attempted to preserve in picture and in print something of Pitt as we have known her this first post-war year. The war was over. V-E and V-J Day were fast becoming memories. We were entering a new era. This era, this first post-war year at Pitt was her chance to make her back-to-normal advances. Gone was the black paint that had darkened the Oakland view from the cathedral windows; the air raid drills with the buckets of sand and their in case of air raid signs; the air corps and the AST's and finally Co. C at Christmas; gone too were the days when the Tuck Shop looked as though this was the University of Pittsburgh for women. Returned now were hundreds of veterans; big time politics, a vets review that gave promise of cap and gown shows to come; formals with favors; crowded Tuck Shops; again a ratio of five men to one woman; spring festival with its pre-war elaborateness; classes on the second and third floors; the marching band at football games; inactive fraternities and organizations; stag lines at the Get Acquainted dances. Pitt was on the road back-to-normal, and with this theme in mind the staff set out to keep alive the memory of Pitt's first back-to-normal year. And so, if in future years a word herein suggests a happy memory or a face recalls a friend; if a scene revives old surroundings or a snapshot brings back a vivid incident of these student days; then this book shall have accomplished its purpose.

In answer, at first it seemed that Hello, if said just right, would be Greeting enough. Any more might spoil it. And now, after thinking for a while, Hello still seems enough. But because I must write the word rather than say it a bit of explanation may be needed. My Hello means that I like you and am dead-pleased if you like me. It means all hail goodwill and kindness to you. It means that you and I are trying to keep all the nobility in us up on top and it means that we are glad in such a way of doing. Hello—and as we say to one another Hello, I hope that at no place on earth can there be more meaning packed into a word. John G. Bowman President of the University Dr. Bowman congratulate degree receivers.

The Norwegian Room, newest of Pitt's famed Nationality Rooms was finished in the fall of 1945. Showing the work of seven years, the room represents the Norwegian Eighteenth Century. Built entirely of wood with the exception of Ihe fireplace which is made of Kleber stone, the room is typically Norwegian with a color scheme of blue and orange floral design. 12 The paneling was all hand painted. DEDICATIO H To our new Chancellor, Dr. Rulus H. Fitzgerald, we of the 1946 OWL staff proudly dedicate this, the forty-first volume of the OWL, because in his first year as head of the University of Pittsburgh, he has gained our undying admiration as a leader, our highest respect as a gentleman, and our lasting esteem as a friend. THE STAFF 14 CHANCELLOR FITZGERALD A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHANCELLOR To the Students: You who are graduating have seen many changes at the University since you came as freshmen. Five years ago the University was operating on a peacetime program. After that it was called upon to meet a war emergency. This it did with its program of Training to Win . Ten thousand young men and women were trained to be physically, mentally, and spiritually fit for the responsibilities which they would meet in war. You recall soldier students of Air Crew, Area and Language studies, Personnel Psychology, Civil Affairs Training, Engineering, Medicine, and Dentistry. They marched and sang and went on to their grim tasks. Then, the surrender of Japan brought veterans to the campus in large numbers. As this is being written early in the second semester approximately four thousand veterans are here. They are older, more serious, more determined. As you have progressed toward your goal you have adjusted yourselves to all these changes in a remarkable way. Our country now needs you with your youth, vigor, and ability to adjust. It needs your laughter, optimism, and strength. You will go forth in a world which has been brought together overnight by war, transportation and communication. Barriers have been erased. You must think in terms of a world in which boundaries between oceans, continents, islands, nations, and states are broken down. Understanding and good will and tolerance must replace ignorance and hate and prejudice. We are proud to have had a share in your development. R. H. Fitzgerald Chancellor and Mr . Fitzgerald grcol quests at the celebration of the Women's The Chancollor meets Freshman parents at the Chancellor's Reception Fiftieth Anniversary at Pitt 15 THE SECRETARY Peacetime to Dr. John Weber, Secretary of the University. means keeping Pitt abreast of the times. A Pitt graduate, Mr. Weber was made an instructor in mechanical engineering in 1910; later, after taking time out to serve as a captain in World War I, he became head of the department. As supervising engineer of the University, he helped in the building of the Cathedral. In recognition cf his executive ability. Mr. Weber was made Secretary of the University in 1936. His administrative duties, however, have not caused him to neglect details of construction. Mr. Weber is looking ahead to the time when the Cathedral, as the center of University life, will be used for liberal arts alone, scientific courses being removed to new buildings. Dr. John Wobor ADMINISTRATION Dr. J. G. Quick THE REGISTRAR Post-war days have meant busier days to Dr. J. Gilbert Quick, University registrar. With thousands of vets returning to school, Pitt's enrollment is larger today that it has ever been, and Dr. Quick arose to meet this emergency in his usual efficient manner. First appointed assistant registrar, Dr. Quick became registrar in 1916. Since then Dr. Quick has had definite objectives for his work. To improve the quality cf the students and to maintain high school relations, he himself conducts the interviews for honor scholarships. Under his guidance the mechanics of enrollment have been simplified. Pitt was the first school to adopt blueprint transcription of grades. In addition to his duties as registrar, Dr. Quick is also a member of the American Association cf Collegiate Registrars. In 1945 he was granted the honorary degree of Doctor of Pedagogy from Westminster College. G. Dixon Shrum. Proaidont Howard Zieglor, Vicc-prosidont THE GENERAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The graduation of a Pitt students marks a transition from the undergraduate world to the greater world of the alumnus. The graduate will always have a memory of, and an interest in the University of which he was once a part. Made up of ten constituent alumni groups, the General Alumni Association was formed to keep this interest ever alive and growing. Last year its activities included a dinner-bridge, the yearly Christmas party for the children of the faculty and alumni, and the traditional sponsorship of Charter Day. To keep those far away aware of alumni and of University activities, the Alumni Review is published four times each year. In recent years the war curtailed some of the association's activities, but with over one thousand of its members returning from overseas, the Association believes that Back-to-Normal means a larger and more active membership.

Gcibbort Auleono Jamison, M.D. DEPARTMENT HEADS To th© department heads falls the responsibility of seeing that the spirit cf Pitt is fostered within the students. Because of the close scholastic association, they are keenly aware of the attitudes and hopes of the student body as a whole and represent these attitudes and hopes to the University administrative body. In that sense they are the liason between student and university with a responsibility to both. They must fairly represent the ideals of the University and the wishes of the student. They must seek at all times to wisely administer the duties of their position. They must temper the emergencies of the present with the hopes for the future. They must plan fcr the future as well as act for the present well being of the student and the University. Their job is large, the demands great but their capabilities are more than sufficient.

They are com-ing back as they never have before in great numbers and from all corners of the world. Our old friends are warmly welcomed. New friends are quickly made. Pitt is a wonderful place students-faculty— campus opportunity. It's great to be here. Theodore W. Biddle 20 Doan Biddle helps solve a votoran's problem. DEAN OF MEN’S STAFF Robert L. Arthur George W. Hoffman Charles Ebort Jr. It looks like old times, remarked a former University student recently during a visit to the Dean of Men's office. Like many others who have returned to their studies from all corners of the world, this veteran saw the Dean and his assistants again supervising the many activities that were so much a part of his University life before he went to war. This year many of the organizations that were forced to go inactive during the war have come back to Pitt. These numerous student activities and the problems of more than 4,000 veterans have made the Dean's office the largest that it has ever been. A typical hour in 80 may find a veteran having an admission interview, a fraternity president checking the list of rushees, a dance chairman arranging a ticket sales, a reporter from one of the publications getting facts for a story, a graduate relating his service experiences to his friend, Dean Biddle, and a Student Congress committee discussing plans for a rally. With the return of old times this past year, the Dean of Men's office found new opportunities and interests in its relations with the student body. Robert Sullivan 21 Miss Maloney, Mis Miller, Miss Harris Mrs. Finney. Miss Hecht, Miss Slovonson HELEN POOL RUSH DEAN OF WOMEN Nov that the war is over, and men have returned to the campus in large numbers, the women are once again in the minority. This calls for adjustments on the part of the women. Classrooms, corridors, and Tuck Shops are so crov ded that space is at a premium. The women will have to yield some places of leadership. But the gains are far greater than the losses. The advantages of coeducation are theirs again —a chance to work and play with the men, a chance to think together on common problems. This is the essence of student life in the University. Helen Pool Rush 22 Miss Rush and Assistants DEAN OF WOMENS STAFF Miss Harriot Glassor Miss Elizabeth Teal Pitt women, entering the post-war period with plans and dreams of further building of both school and social life, look to the Office of the Dean of Women for the return to normal. Miss Helen Pool Rush, Dean of Women, has noted the trend back to the schools .as wartime employment standards are replaced by higher qualifications. In observing the changes the new peace is bringing, Dean Rush viewed the return to normal not as a retracing of the pattern of the pre-war day3, but as a return to the conditions which promote progress. An increased social program was planned by Miss Harriet Glasser, who advised the girls about outside activities. Nationality Room hostesses are being trained by Miss Mary T. Walton. Miss Elizabeth Teal is handling the employment and housing difficulties that arise during the change to normal conditions. Mrs. John Ross is at the desk in the information room; and Miss Ruth Becker and Mrs. Lucy Millard, secretaries, are keeping the correspondence in order. The Office of the Dean of Women is well equipped to meet the new demands placed upon it by this back to normal atmosphere. Mr . Millard and Mi Bockor Mi Rcbln on, Ml V alton and Mr . Ross FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF WOMEN AT PITT We the students of the University have heard Stein Sisters, Twelfth Floor and Fiftieth Anniversary many times this year, for this year is the Fiftieth Anniversary of Women at Pitt. For during the fifty years since Stella and Margaret Stein entered Pitt, women have been given equal education in all fields, opportunity to prove their ability and the right to stand side by side with men in the University. Now there are women in every course offered by the University and they have made a place for themselves in University life. In activities or studies, they are always eager to do their share of the work. This year Pitt women had as their goal the finishing of the Twelfth Floor. The twelfth floor is where Pitt women may go to read and relax, study and plan for teas and parties. Miss Helen Poole Rush, our Dean of Women is ever present to see the girls retain the high standards that are identified in Pitt women. Chancellor Fitzgerald wishes the women at Pitt to succeed. He supported and attended the Nixon Benefit. Our girls study, work, and laugh together. A part of Pitt, our WOMEN. 24 FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF WOMEN AT PITT 25 Stella Mathilda Stein PITT COEDS Margaret Lydia Stein 1896-1946 We celebrate the past, and we look forward to the future, said Chancellor Holland at the celebration of the 110th anniversary cf the University in 1897. Two years before he spoke, and fifty years ago in the fall of 1895, two young women had stepped aboard a streetcar. They were Stella and Margaret Stein on their way to attend classes at the Western University of Pennsylvania, then located on Perrys-ville Avenue in Allegheny City. Their presence so surprised the new students that the 1895 forerunner of the 1945 wolf call was long coming, but when it did come, the Stein sisters were fondly referred to as specimens. They had caught the school unprepared and Chancellor Holland was forced to give them his rooms in which to spend their free hours and to follow the studies of the Latin-Scientific Course. Their activities consisted cf Membership in the Phl-loniathiau Literary Society and attendance at musical concerts and rival games between W and J and WUP. Margaret and Stella graduated in the class of '98, and walked away with the honors open to them—Stella as Valedictorian and Margaret as Class Prophet. They were pioneers in co-education and the women at Pitt tcday are grateful to them. Coeds have seen three wars take students from the classrocm, and have watched them return. In 1908 they saw the Western University of Pennsylvania become the University of Pittsburgh. From 1908 to 1921 they watched the building of State, Thaw, and Alumni Halls, and labored up the Hill to classes. In 1926 they saw ground broken for the Cathedral of Learning and later for Heinz Chapel and Stephen Foster Memorial. Coeds have gone to Pitt under the Chancellors Holland, McCormick, Bowman and Fitzgerald. They have grown up with Pitt. One thing only has not changed since that fall morning in 1895. Today approximately 1300 young women step aboard street cars to attend classes at the University of Pittsburgh. Their presence is no longer a curiosity, and a wolf call is frequently heard. They aren't specimens any more, but a part of the University. Women at Pitt have their own government, their own Dean, their own meeting places, and promise of more. They put on glamour to attend dances, shed it to yell a big Alleghenee at football games. They can become teachers, doctors, engineers, or follow any course the school offers. They can become members of the orchestra, the choir, honorary and social fraternities. They can be class and organization officers. They can be editors and staff members of campus publications. They can be Senior Queen and Alma Mater. Coeds are scholars and dreamers and pioneers. The school and the world are iheirs to conquer and to better. So, on the 50th Anniversary of Women at Pitt, we the school year of 1945-46, coeds repeat Chancellor Holland's words We celbrate the past, and we look forward to the future. 26 PITT COEDS 1896-1946 Clcss of 1896—tho first women graduates from Pitt Miss Thyrsa Amos, Pitt’s first Dean of Woman Miss Helen Pool Rush, prosont Dean and assistants PITT COED5 1896-19T6 SENIOR (WEEN.

We, as a class, have traveled along the same college road for four years now. Some of us have gathered many honors along the way, others only a few. We've worked on dance committees, war bond committees, class committees; we've sung in the choir together; we've had luncheon dates together; we've pledged fraternity together; we've gone to a hundred and one dinners together; we've ushered together at Chancellor's Receptions, Pan Hel Receptions; we've gone to dances together; we've watched the transition in one another from the time we were part of a mentor group or upperclass counselor group until the time when we were mentors and upperclass counselors. Now we were the Seniors. This was a little difficult to realize at first for we felt no older and not very much wiser, but now we were the Senior leaders and three classes were looking to us to follow. So we wore high heels to practice teach and a coat and tie to a Fireside Chat with the Chancellor. Again this Senior idea hit us, for we were doing so many things for the last time: our last class; our last pep rally, our last chapel, our last Interclass Sing; our last football game; our last Senior Court meeting; our last rushing season; our last Student Congress meeting; our last frat meeting. Then the last minute rush of writing final papers and finishing off incompletes followed by Senior vacation and the bliss of no exam week. After this came the pride in being a part of Coronation; a last dozen dinners to attend; fitting of gown and mortar boards; the worry of please don't let it rain for graduation. Then we were together as a class for the last time as we marched proudly up the ramp to where Chancellor Fitzgerald handed us our diplomas with congratulations. We walked down the ramp and as we sat down our eyes looked up and up and up to the top of the cathedral built so it could ever grow. We smiled a wistful but happy smile. We were the Senior class of 1946 52 business ADMINISTRATION SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Doan Vincont W. Lanfoar Rated among the top schools of business administration in the country, enrollment of veterans here for business courses at Pitt has been especially heavy this ear. It is to friendly Dean Vincent Lanfear that these men come for advice. One of Dean Lanfear's peacetime plans is now being realized in the form of an expanded transportation program offered to men and women studying business administration. With the other University schools, the School of Business Administration is holding many evening classes to meet the large registration demands.

Carrico Secretary-Treasurer .... Edward I. Bums Although the organization of Dental School Inter-Fraternity Council may seem complicated to some, its functions and policies are clear-cut and democratic in every respect. Dental IF Council is made up of three dental fraternities, Psi Omega, Delta Sigma Delta and Alpha Omega, each having two representatives and their faculty advisor on the Council. The governing offices of the council are rotated between the different fraternities. Among its other duties and functions, the council governs rushing rules and programs, sets up IF sports programs, and works in conjunction with faculty representatives. Also, in time of peace, the council works together on occasional interfraternity social afairs, and, to some degree, is instrumental in the organization of Dental School social affairs. This year is a post-war year. Dental IF has striven to uphold pre-war standards and plan for back-to-normal activity. 71 Georgo L.

Lieberman ALPHA OMEGA President .Jerry Markowitz Secretary ...........Marrln Press Vice President ....Abraham Weinberg Treasurer .Abraham Rotham Alpha Omega has been established on Pitt's campus for twenty-six years and during that time it has overcome many hardships. The recent emergency period was handled by the brothers who served their country in and out of uniform. It was not so long ago that undergraduates and alumni opened the fraternity house for normal operation. With the discharge of Service men, these new civilians have undertaken a vigorous program to reestablish the fun, activities, and learning of the good old days. The fraternities National Rehabilitation Fund has taken away much of the worry of the brothers who were in the service, by helping them to begin anew with this assistance. Formal dinner-dances are now being planned in order to make the entire reconversion of the members completely back to normal. 72 Jerry Markowitz FIRST ROW: V. Grevo. R. Barr. Dr. Edwin Flint.

Carli The members of the Delta Sigma Delta, national dental fraternity, are pledged to keep high standards of dentistry by inculcating in the minds of dental students and practitioners a spirit of fraternal cooperation toward scientific, ethical, and professional progress. The fraternity's professional and social functions are designed to further the high standards maintained through its 64 years of activity. The Delta Sigma Delta alumni, whose interests during the war period were focused on military demands, are now returning to active participation in fraternity affairs. Their knowledge and skill is a source of information which ably supplements the work of the dental undergraduate and proves an invaluable aid to the man entering professional practice. Peace-time has again made it possible for the fraternity house to be refurnished and decorated and make it the center of the fraternity's campus. 73 Roborl M. Barr FIRST ROW: W. Tosta. E. Burns. G.

George Carrico Junior Grand Manor .. Edward J. Burnt Secretary ...........Elihu Fortney Treasurer .........William Toila Psi Omega, national dental fraternity, exerts its influence for the advancement of the dental profession in methods of teaching, practice, and jurisprudence. While actually a professional fraternity, Psi Omega has its social side, as evidenced by frequent house parties, formal and informal dances, and summer picnics. The local chapter house at 230 North Bellefield Avenue serves as the meeting place of active chapter members and alumni. At present there are sixty-three active members and twenty-three of the brothers live in the house, which was recently redecorated to welcome back the veterans. The dissolution of the ASTP and Navy V-12 dental programs has returned the boys to their normal civilian status, and the shadow of the past emergency era has almost disappeared into a back-to-normal light. 74 Edward J. Bums EDUCATION SCHOOL OF EDUCATION Doan S. P. Franklin Under Dean S. P. Franklin, the School of Education is planning an expanded program for both undergraduates and graduate students. The new education workshops on the floor of the Cathedral are proving their value in providing realistic training for students interested in the teaching field; plans are being made to enlarge and improve these workshops. As a member of the National Education Board, Dean Franklin proves himself to be an inestimatable help to Pitt students who plan to teach. Outsido reading 76 FIRST ROW: Dr. Linn. Dr. Bachmann.

To building and grounds it was a successful job of making the Commons Room even more beautiful. To the Men's Glee Club it v as a chance to sing after three years of inactivity. To upperclassmen it meant nothing but perhaps and unwanted climb into formals to usher. To the faculty it was a ''headaching'' deadline for figuring out grades for freshmen they had seen only twenty-four times. To the beginning Freshman it was a hated date when his parents would find out how poor his grades really were. His only solace was that they might not then at the end expect tco much. To his parents though, it was an opportunity to meet the leaders of their sons or daughters higher education; to find out there is friendliness behind the cold, grey walls of the Cathedral; to meet the Chancellor himself, so revered by their offsprings. Conclusion by all; the Chancellor was a good host. Parents and Profs and Frosh grades 82 SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING AND MINES Dean Elmer A. Holbrook With the faculty back to its former size, the Freshman and Sophomore classes larger than in the past, the Schools of Engineering and Mines are adjusting to a student body that exceeds pre-war classes. Dean of the school, Elmer A. Holbrook, plans to enlarge the faculty and has replaced the accelerated program with a three semester year required of all Engineering and Mines students. He hopes when the present Freshmen and Sophomores are Juniors and Seniors that life in the Engineering Mines School will be back to normal. Slldo rule lecture FIRST ROW: Dr. Sherrill.

Kleinerman V.-Counsul ...................Lawrence Temeles Scribe ...............Harold L. Edison Treasurer ........Richard L. Wechsler For Phi Delta Epsilon, Medical School Fraternity, the past year has been one of great activity. Now that peace has returned they have increased all fraternity activities to fulfill their desires to return to normal. The former practice of holding monthly dinner meetings with guest speakers has been reestablished and a series of monthly round table discussions of medical problems was inaugurated. In line with their plans to return to normal their annual dinner dance was held for the first time since the beginning of the war. At this dance the outgoing seniors are awarded keys and the newly elected officers are installed. Despite all these activities scholarship was not neglected as Phi Delta Epsilon was awarded the Medical School Interfraternity Council Scholarship Plaque. The reconversion spirit has indeed taken over in Nu Chapter of Phi Delta Epsilon. 93 I.awrnnro Tomolo The car in the background is more typical These are Psychologists Good grades to the left, ours on the right!!

ALPHA TAU DELTA President ...............Mary Snyder Vico President ........Marion Schmidt Secretary ............Eleanor Watson Treasurer ..............Cecil Walker Jean Custer Alpha Tau Delta, national social nurses' fraternity, is a new organization at the University of Pittsburgh. Organized in April of 1945, Mu Chapter, with the help of its faculty advisors, Emily Holmquist, Eleanor Williams, and Martha Zavonza, has progressed far in its first active year. This year the social events included pledge parties, theater parties, and picnics in the fall. Highlight of the social calendar was the spring formal held in honor of Alpha Tau Delta's Chapter at Duquesne University's School of Nursing. Business meetings this year were a serious thing as the girls planned for Alpha Tau Delta's future at Pitt and strove to set a precedent for future years. Although this is primarily a social fraternity, nursing is not forgotten. For these girls are always striving to benefit their profession, and nursing in a post-war world is an outstanding topic among the Alpha Tau Deltas. 102 PHARMACY SCHOOL OF PHARMACY Doan Edward C.

Founded at the Medical College of Virginia in 1897, it has been active at the University of Pittsburgh since 1913. With the return of active members from the service, and the pledging of other veteran pharmacy students, Kappa Psi's chapter personnel is well on the way back to normal. This year the fraternity social events included parties, dances, weiner roasts, and hay rides. Besides these events the calendar included the annual initiation dinner smokers where pharmacy in the post-war world was discussed. As fraternity members, these students strive to increase their pharmaceutical knowledge and perhaps benefit their profession. They are always on the alert to find new means for broadening their scope of knowledge. 106 SITTING: M. Kimmol, S. Krofio. M. Cuoca:«se. F. Enlow. C. Kraut®. F. Vinoski. STANDING: D. DeFoggi, M.

Nevertheless they have kept up their social program with their annual banquet for alumni in December and their formal candlelight initiation for new members in February. Hayrides, weiner roasts, and parties were frequent on the social calendar tco. Lambda Kappa Sigma does not neglect their profession either. Once a week they sponsor a program with a guest speaker who discusses subjects pertaining to pharmacy, medicine, and new drugs. Lambda Kappa Sigma's plans for the back-to-normal world are centered around an increased interest in the new discoveries in the fieid of pharmacy. 107 Mary Cuccareso FOOTBALL FANS OUNTAINI BOYS ANTH 108 We did, 20 to 0!

Director The Bureau of Retail Training, which was one of the Schools that has felt the effects of the war constantly, was also one of the first schools to start the return to normal. The end of the accelerated program in September, 1944, was the first move toward pre-war conditions. Retailing suffered during the war more than most industries, so, the students lacked actual experience with normal conditions. Looking ahead to postwar days, the school saw that in its classroom studies were those of normal situations so the R. T. graduate could be prepared for a normal retailing world.

BUREAU OF RETAIL TRAINING The Bureau of Retail Training is composed of full and part-time students who desire to learn the qrt of retailing. Full time students enter the bureau in their senior year part-time students are sent from the different department stores for special courses. But whether full or part-time, retail students are given both practical and theoretical experience in retail. Students study current advertisements, charts, ad- vertising graphs and trends in today's market. They visit fashion departments of downtowns stores for the latest ideas in displays and merchandising and learn the techniques of interviewing and selling. All this is because the Bureau realizes the need for special training for young people who wish to have careers in retailing, and aims to give professional training to them. in RETAIL TRAINING INFORMALS Retail Training students relax between classes 112 SCHOOL OF APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCES Doan Wilbor 1.

Through the efforts of our Class Cabinet and the personal interest of each member of the class, we have become more than a group of students who will happen to graduate in the same year. We have become an important unit, pulling together and having fun doing so. Our officers have been busy planning activities so that we can all come together often, discuss class problems, and make plans for an active future. And so. almost every month for the past school year, our class has gathered together for fun, to exchange ideas that could help all of us, and to become better acquainted with one another. In October, we had our colossal State Fair in the Red Tuck Shop, with all the trimmin's: firemen, barkers, pink lemonade, and hot dogs. In November, we had our Play Day, when we all got together, played the games we had forgotten long ago and sang in jumbled harmony. For the Interclass Sing in December, the Juniors donned white robes and halces and we sang our hearts out for that 12th floor heaven. Came Christmas, and you found the Juniors leading the carol singing in the Commons Room. In Februry. v e stuffed ourselves at the class dinner. March brought picnic time and we marched to Schenley Park for our usual picnic fare: hot dogs, skits, and laughs. April found us prepared with an April Fool Folly program and our class came forth with the talent we knew we had all along. It's been a busy year and one which we of the Junior class will always remember as being so closely linked with our happiness as students at Pitt. 118 JUNIORS ADRIENNE ALDISERT .......................

THE SOPHOMORE CLASS Under lhe leadership of ccmpetant and energetic officers the Sophomore Class has worked together and enjoyed its many activities this year. The Cat Chat was the first of the year's events. Surrounded by cornstalks, pmpkins, fortune tellers, and goblins the Sophomores held their business meeting followed by a variety of songs and games. Plans were made for the Inner Class Sing at the QT Coke Hour. Cheers and songs stirred up an appetite for the cokes and pretzels served in the Red Tuck Shop. The Sophomore Banquet was held to start off the New Year right. Miss Rush and Mrs. Nicely, Sophomore Class sponsor, were the guest speakers, with Dolores Stumpff as mistress of ceremonies. February brought a Solomon Grundy party with the Sophs excelling at the different games. We saw all the hidden talent at the Sophomore Jamboree. At a tea in the Commons Room the Sophomores serenaded the Seniors while giving them roses and bid their Sister Class farewell. The year's activities closed with a picnic at Schenley Park. The Sophomore Qass has reached the half-way mark in its college career and was now looking forward to the last half of their college year at a back-to-normal Pitt. 126 SOPHOMORES HARRIET ABKOWITZ...................Collogo RICHARD ADLER .....................Colleg© BETH ALTMAYER......................Collogo ROBERT AMALONG.....................Collogo JAMES ARMOUR ............................Collogo PEGGY ANN BAIRD..........................Collogo RUDOLPH BALABAN..........................Collogo MARGARET BARATI .........................CoIIoqo RUTH BARTON .....

On November 9, posters decorated the mirrored panels of Schenley Ballroom and planes hung from the ceiling in keeping with the reconversion theme. Clyde Knight and his orchestra supplied the music and the dance reached its climax when dozens cf balloons, some containing lucky numbers, were let down from the ceiling and the scramble for prizes began. The unique decorations were the work of Marian Barkum. Business Manager, Bernard Puet, and his publicity assistants, Glenn Stuart and Mary Carolyn Daum, helped to make this a successful dance which fitted well into the new reconversion atmosphere at Pitt. 134 Ho got the prize” blond FRESHMEN 135 FRESHMEN 136 FRESHMEN MARGARET DAILEY ......................Collogo DOROTHY DAVIES .......................Collogo NORMAN I.

FRESHMAN CAMP From Camp to Campus meant something tms year that it has not meant since the normal days of pre-war Pitt. YMCA Freshman Camp, pitched at Kon-O-Kwee near Zelienople the Friday before the classes began, chased inherent freshmen fear of upperclassmen and changed it into friendship. The amateurish athletics between the college, engineers, pre-meds, and bus ads stopped long enough for the stars” to eat scrumptuous meals and try to sleep. The only interruption of the football, mushball, swimming, rifle firing, basketball, horseshoes, and throwing buckets of water on sleeping victims was a Sunday morning rain. And, as the oriented freshies started back to campus, they thanked the Y for introducing them so well. Freshman Camp made freshmen feel like seniors. 141 Everybody enjoys hot dogs and cokes Time out for a rest FIRST ROW: C. Madison, H. Davis. G. Franklin. P. Mayer. SECOND ROW: J. Stelnfeld, P.

Tom Harrington, Freshman Club advisor, and Pep Mallinger, president of Freshman Club, made Freshman Gub almost an extension school of the Kon-O-Kwee week-end. In the weekly meetings of the club, outstanding faculty members and students spoke to the freshies on such vital things as school politics, the fatigue curve, dating technique by three lovely coeds, India and Football. Freshman Club, sponsored by Young Men's Christian Association, has always been the main entrance to bigger and better Y activities and 1946 accentuated the trend back to that norm. A special appeal to come out and join the Y and the Freshman Club was made to freshmen veterans, and it was gratifying to note that their response was great in not only joining but in their active participation to make Freshman Club a live and vital organization. Working together with their officers and their committee chairmen such as Social Chairman, Glenn Monn, Publicity Chairman, Bill Swanson, Athletic Chairman, Richard Gelm made Freshman Club an enjoyable experience during their first year at Pitt. In reality, though. Freshman Club seeks no normal, pre-war or wartime, but in post-war Pitt it will go beyond Mr. Miller's hopeful prediction. 142 SITTING: E. MccKonzio, B. Blank. J. Robor, D.

FRESHMAN COUNCIL Chairman...........Mary Jan© Modloy Freshman Council, composed of representatives from the Freshman class, guild advisors and chairmaned by the vice-president of Women's Self Government Association, was organized to give Freshmen women experience in governing. For Freshmen, Council is the only government available to their class and is used as a self-governing unit in its first year. Delegates to Council are chosen from each orientation class, aiming to have the best possible representation. The group does not elect officers. Their chairman, the vice-president of WSGA was Mary Jane Medley. The secretaryship was passed from girl to girl so that each would have the chance to serve. Freshman Council is a means for Freshman to accomplish, first, the experience of governing and second, to inform freshmen of the part they are to play in University activities. Their main purpose is to serve the Freshman class. They unify Freshman spirit into a workable whole and give training of class organization in handling Freshman affairs. This year Freshman Council held monthly dinner meetings where they were taught and practice fundamental rules of governing. The girls planned and successfully carried out their part in the Interclass Sing by taking first place; and they sponsored a tea in the Commons Room at Christmas time. Freshman Council had accomplished their purpose in this first post-war year. 143 FIRST ROW: G. Zlnssor, J. Dudley. P. Kroigor. J. Schorr. M. E. Moorhoad. Mias Rush. M. L. Slack, C. Evorhart, E.

SENIOR MENTORS A Mentor meets with her Freshman The word mentor comes from the Greek proper name of the teacher of Ulysses' son. Today at Pitt it means guide. Thus a group of senior women is chosen to guide the Freshman in her first weeks at Pitt. Then senior mentor program does not by any means begin with Freshman week. About two weeks before the semester begins, this group of seniors meets with Miss Rush for a period of five days during which time the mentors learn their work thoroughly. The mentor program, consisting of nine meetings, is designed to acquaint the Freshman with the type of University she's attending, the customs in practice here, the organizations for extra-curricular activities, and the organized opportunities for a freshman in these organizations. All this material, thoroughly learned, makes these mentors better prepared to guide Freshman v omen. 144 LEFT TO RIGHT: R. Robinson. G. Carsons. A. Steinman, G. McCann, E. Karelltz. R. Baillstl. M. Wholly. UPPERCLASS COUNSELORS Early in his stay at Pitt, tho incoming freshman is introduced to an appointed group of Junior and Senior men to whom he can turn for advice. It is their duty to the freshman to see that he is orientated to the customs and traditions of the University. Not in a stilted manner but informally do the Councellors guide the freshman. In any way that they, as upper-class men, can make the stay of the freshman more enjoyable or valuable they make the effort to do just that. Sometimes it is not unusual to find a wide discrepancy in the ages of adviser and advisee but the guidance is so informal and so man to man that these differences are not noticed. The job is done and done to the mutual advantage of advisor, freshman and the University. 145 Upporclass Counselor group meeting WINTER WONDERWHIRL People said this—I heard them.

Honorary, professional and social fraternities are different, but formed with the same basic idea. The members of the fraternities are individuals who want to share their ideas, dreams and plans for the future with each other. The Honorary fraternities desire scholarship, leadership, character and service and keep these virtues always high here at Pitt. They keep them before them here on the campus but they also keep them so they never forget them. The Social fraternities have mutual likes and friendship as their goal. They too stress scholarship and leadership in their group. Students belong to their certain group because they like to work and play together. If the day is bright and sunny or if they hit a dark cloud, they are glad they belong to that Greek society. All the fraternities on our campus stress efficiency, cooperation and friendliness. They receive the admiration of Chancellor Fitzgerald who carries out this policy in University affairs. A part of Pitt, our FRATERNITIES. 148 FRATERNITIES 149 SITTING: M. Walko. M. Silvorb’.att, C.

Its aim is to reestablish co-operation and unity among women students. In the late fall Panhel began its post-war entertaining with the Panhellenic Reception for Freshmen women. Next came the Panhel Sing, with the Tri Delts placing first. Kappas second, and the Phi Mus third. Other events were the tea for transfer students, the bridge given with Mortar Board for the benefit of the Twelfth Floor Fund, and awarding the scholarship to the Delta Zetas for having the highest average. Panhellenic Ball was the Association's crowning achievement during the first post-war year, for it was their first formal dance at Pitt since before the war.

On November 13th, the Tuck Shop was buzzing with the news that Alpha Delta Pi was back on campus with thirteen new pledges and one active to guide them. The first thing the Alpha Delts did to announce their return was to participate in the Panhel Sing. The second thing was to find a house and this was accomplished by buying the Tri Delt house at 4206 Bigelow Boulevard. But entertainment had to be postponed until they could get their house painted and polished. Then they tell us to be prepared for lots of parties and tea-dances.

A busy year both socially and scholastically was planned. Scholastically, they placed second in the scholarship cup award. Socially, they put big social events back on the calendar that included a Thanksgiving Dance, a Spring Formal and an open house for Pitt students at their Bellefield apartment. Several joint meetings were held with their Tech chapter where the girls made plans for their first post-war convention. Monthly dinner meetings for the girls were also begun. The speakers at these meetings helped the girls see their duties in the post-war world and guided them on their way back to normal. 154 Executives Execute Once upon a time” Lights out!

They felt the impact cf returning veterans in the critical housing shortage as they searched for a new apartment, but they welcomed them back and looked forward to a full year of social activities. With no more gasoline rationing Beta Sigma Omicron held a dinner party at the Balconades, a Christmas formal at the Nixon Cafe, and the annual spring formal at the Vogue Terrace. Some of their other social activities included roller-skating, swimming, bowling, and slumber parties. But along with all these activities Beta Sigs studied, hoped, and planned for better living in their return to a back-to-normal world. i:5 The jerk brought his mother See, I'm right I'll smash you Everybody's so happy Lots of assistance 157 This one pane's me FIRST ROW: A.

Picnics at South Park with unrationed gas, and weekends at cabins were just the beginning. Plans were made for a big spring dance with formals, tuxe3. favors, and everything. For the annual Christmas party, the Tri Delts entertained orphans from the Ward Home for Children. With new lights for the tree and Mr. Santa Claus the party was definitely post-war. Two of the biggest thrills of the year was winning the first post-war women's trophy at the Panhellemc sing and when the fraternity gave scholarships to two girls on campus because their choice of careers would aid in reconstructing Ihe post-war world. The girls wearing the stars and crescent are doing their part on the road back to normal. 160 Oh! You man you!

Again this year they enjoyed Christmas vacation with its traditional weekend party when the pledges served the sisters breakfast in bed. After the slumber party, fun was doubled by the formal dance the following evening. Tea dances were plentiful with a spring formal climaxing a successful social year. But besides this social life the Delta Zetas still found time for scholarship as they studied and planned for careers in a post-war world. 162 Keeping up DZ s quality points 163 Vitamin deficiency?

The house at 200 North Bellefield took on the true Hallowe'en spirit, complete with pumpkins and corn stalks. During the year the Thetas were busy attending parties and open-houses given by other Fraternities, participating in the Panhellenic Sing, and greeting new girls at the Reception. There were dances for men's fraternities after meetings on Monday nights. The night of December 15, the Thetas had their first formal dance of the year and later in the Spring their annual formal was held for the first time since '41.

But there were other things that kept right on going: tea dances, bridges, the Kappa-Delt faculty reception, the monthly pledge-active Information Pleases, the determination to make college more complete. The KKG's didn't forget that a war’s end does not mean the return of normal in Europe, so they adopted a French family to help through the famine. Nor did they forget that a war's end does mean an opportunity to do some of the things put off for so long, like pledge dances and the Four-Fraternity Ball.

Open house was a frequent event on their social calendar, starting with the open house held after the Penn State game for the Beta Sigs and their brothers the Phi Sigma Delts from State College. The Phi Sigs opened their house next, one Friday, to the veterans. Their pledges, not to be outdone by their sisters, held open house for the pledges of all women's fraternities on campus. A bridge was held with proceeds going to the Twelfth Floor Fund. Then during the last war loan drive the Phi Sigs received a blue and gold pennant from the University for buying the greatest number of bonds.

Once a week the Pi Lam labor battalion gathered in overalls and sweaters with buckets and paint brushes in hand, and repairs ranging from plumbing to roofing, papering to painting soon had the house in the best of condition. Pi Lam Hall was then ready for the many dances both informal and formal the boys planned. On New Year's Eve. Pitt Pi Lams, together with the Alumni Association, sponsored a formal ball at the Wiliiam Penn Hotel. Pi Lams from all over the east gathered and it marked the first convention of this sort in four years. Although fraternal spirit never left the Pi Lams throughout the war. it has become a much more powerful force in the back-to-norma! times. 192 Eighty-eight keys Easy shot Pledge, cup, mascot Throw in the chips Eight o'clock date Bull session 193 LEFT TO RIGHT: B.

SAE has resumed a more complete schedule of activities and again has taken its place in interfraternity affairs. Repercussions of the peacetime comeback have been evidenced in the return of many cf its 125 brothers from the service and the abolition of hell week. During the past year a round of the time-honored social events have been held, including the annual hard times party, the Christmas formal dance, picnics, hay rides, and a series of tea and dessert dances given for the sororities. The leonine emblem of this fraternity, signifying strength and leadership, has been justified especially well this year by its members in their aim of a back-to-normal life at Pitt. 194 Not so fast, Dick He didn't make it (Ed.

This year a sweetheart of Sigma Chi will be chosen for the first time since the war. New additions to this year's calendar will be monthly dances given for other men's and women's fraternities. Individual committees that were discontinued during the war have been reorganized and are planning for an enlarged Sigma Chi. They plan to forward the fraternity socially, scholastically, and along athletic interests. Their first project is their search and acquisition of a new home. Once this goal is reached, the Sigma Chis will have stepped closer to their former place on Pitt campus. With such an energetic approach to the problems of the fraternity the brothers hope soon to relax in the post-war campus world. 1S6 Going down!

Ray Primas William Curtis Edward Allen Paul Simmons Alpha Phi Alpha is now back on the University of Pittsburgh campus after a two year period of inactivity. Although they have been active only a short time, they have almost reached a pre-war status. In the year that they have been active, their membership has increased from seven to twenty-three. The lccal chapter has actively participated in both local and national fraternity life. From a local viewpoint they have been admitted to the interfraternity council and have taken part in its social and athletic affairs. Alpha Phi Alpha has also enjoyed social events sponsored by both the actives and the pledge group. The lccal chapter, Omicron, for the first time in five years was able to send delegates to their national convention in Chicago. All in all. it can be said that A Phi A is back to normal. 198 HOHORSRIES 199 FIRST ROW: B. Rosenile'.d. Z. Schmidt, D. StumpJf, E. Lynch, B. Brlant, B. Shore, J. Oleon, L. BemstoSn. C. Brudor. S.

The turmoil of reconversion has not disrupted such activities as maintaining the Cwen message box. the publication of the student directory, and their duties as aides at various University functions. However, there are many little items in the Cwen program this year that point unmistakably to the return to normal. Those hot dogs sold by hustling Cwens after pep rallies and football games—it couldn't have been done last year. And now that gas is plentiful once more, Cwens add spice and variety to their meetings by piling into the old jalopy and getting together at the homes of different members. One final item shows that peace is surely here—all Cwen dinners no longer consist of chicken. The Cwens are on a back to normal schedule. Botsy Briant 200 FIRST ROW: M. Muholson, L. Provan. R.

The annual fall smoker for Freshman men, discontinued before the war, was held this year in true pre-war fashion. The Druids are now in a state of dilemma trying to decide whether to purchase the traditional Druid sweaters or to hold one of those old fashioned banquets.

Members and parents of Pitt and Tech chapters and Hood and Tassel at P.C.W. were invited, and the individual's place in the society in which he lives was discussed. Besides its annual Christmas party where gifts were brought for refugees, Mortar Board sponsored a Charm school to help improve the personality and appearance of Pitt women. This spring Mortar Board and Pan-hellen-ic jointly held a benefit bridge for the twelfth floor fund.

On December 10, the first peace-time Founder's Day Banquet since 1940 was held in the University Club and fall undergraduate and honorary tappees were formally initiated. As one of its major post-war projects, ODK has set out to enroll graduating seniors at the end of each semester in the Alumni Association.

Besides these, the fraternity has sponsored public language programs and parties planned according to the customs of other countries. At their monthly business meetings Sigma Kappa Phi often have programs to acquaint them with foreign countries and their languages.

Plans for accommodating returned veterans at Pitt and ihe engineer's place in the post-war world were the points stressed by Dean Hollbrook, guest speaker at this banquet.

The outstanding social event of the year was the annual tea at Stephen Foster Memorial, where old and new Quax members and their friends got together. A series of lectures in all fields of science was the main event on meeting night. These lectures explained the place of each science in our new back-to-normal world. As a further step toward adjustment in a changing world, Quax has recognized the growing importance of psychology. It now includes psychology majors in its organization. Quax is on its way back to normal. 210 Gracs Klinzing THEATRON President...............Robert Goldsmith Secretary-Treasurer ..........Penn Burke During the last three years Theatron has functioned under difficulties due to the curtailment of dramatic activities.

In the fall, a new constitution was unanimously adopted by the members and is now in effect. Its purpose is for the stabilization of the existing laws and requirements for active membership. With this foundation established, Theatron takes its place as a valued member of the honorary fraternities of the University of Pittsburgh. 211 Rcborl Goldsmith FIRST ROW: A. Aldisoit. T. Sankor. P.

The Club first organized for the purpose of acquainting students with the various divisions and branches cf the school of nursing and promoting social activity and good fellowship among students who are interested in nursing. Keeping this purpose in mind they plan and carry out their activities for the year. These include visits to the hospitals in the Medical Center and other organizations in the community contributing to health education, and the tapping to membership of all eligible sophomore girls. Looking to the future these girls plan to better themselves through Idaka. Almost a quarter century ago, the Lutheran students at Pitt founded an organization that permitted them to get together, and to know each other. The Lutheran Student's Association was formed and affiliated with the Lutheran Student's Association of America. Throughout the war years, LSA continued to be a popular organization, and now with post-war days here, Lutheran students see the possibilities of an even better organization. Pitt's group sent representatives to national conferences, and the LSAA regional conference of January 20 was held in Pittsburgh. LSA meets the first Tuesday of every month for dinner and discussion; goes all out once a semester and has a big party.

We spend endless hours of planning University events so they will meet and go beyond the requirements of past years. Some of us govern and keep University customs on a democratic basis. Others sing, make speeches, put on plays and publish events of Pitt. Organizations show the real Pitt to the students and the outside world. Organization members, along with faculty advisors, have and will continue to do this to the best of their ability. Here in organizations we find the leaders of the University. We strive for the finer things in life here at Pitt so that we may seek and recognize them when we leave here to take our place in the world. We make and have leaders and respect them.

Engineering and Mines Cabinet is to the School of Engineering what Student Congress is to the University, their purpose being to unite the group of Engineers and govern them. This year E and M held their traditional Engineer's Dance, a skirt and sweater affair with the students dancing to the music of Clyde Knight at the Schenley. E and M has a large enrollment this year. The lounge and smokers are here again. They are trying to bring back pre-war days by sponsoring interdepartment sports. The engineers are on their way back to normal. The E. S. A. is composed of an executive board of seven evening students, to govern the large group that meets at the University for night school. This organization is a democratic, social, and progressive group. E.S.A. secures its officers by election. But these evening students not only are democratically minded, but they are a social crowd. Every fall, they plan a Pitt Open House with a dance and a tour of the nationality rooms. They sponsor roller skating parties, swimming parties, and activity dinners in honor of the past officers and executive committee. E.S.A. is progressing with post-war plans for its next banquet. Members plan to award keys to the worthy members of E.S.A. It is the whole of E.S.A. who are cooperating to push E.S.A. to its goal and keep it there.

In addition to this, the Choir sings at special school affairs, veteran's hospitals, and make tours and personal appearances all over the state. Members of the Choir have fun, too. Their program this year included a dinner-dance, a mid-semester trip to the Summit Hotel, and a picnic at D. J.'s cabin. The Choir has become a widely known organization and maintaining this prestige requires hard work at rehearsals four afternoons a week.

Fcr the first time since 1943, a blue and gold uniform represented Pitt on a football field. Perhaps it v asn't as big as the pre-war editions, perhaps the musicians were a little inexperienced; but we knew that the day was coming soon that normal would not be enough to satisfy the goals of Pitt's band. The band did hold concerts and made a tour though, that not only gave the members a chance to apply their long hours of practice but also gave us and the Tri-state district a chance to appreciate good music. The Pitt Band is back on campus and on its way to surpass an impressive pre-war record. 219 Robert L. Arthur FIRST ROW: J. Pagar, S. Eisonatat, A. Stoinman, R. Arthur, R. Delasin. SECOND ROW: G.

MEN’S COUNCIL President .....Arnold Stoinman Vico President .Vincent Stulft Secretary-Treasurer ....Thomson Loipor Nineteen forty-five and six, the first year after the war, was an active year for Men's Council. The Council settled down again to pre-war routine. No more replacements and reelections to fill off-to-war vacancies, for now more men were coming to school than leaving school. Because of the returning servicemen, the most important function of the council was the student loan fund. This fund gave financial aid to veterans until they received their government allowance. This year also marked the launching of a new policy for the council. Each member elected to the council was thereafter to hold office for his remaining years in undergraduate school. They were to work with the Council in coordinating men's activities on campus, and in promoting the general welfare of Pitt men. This, said Arnold Steinman, president, is what we v orked for. 220 Arnold Stoinman More and more in a world going back to normal, Pitt is recognizing the need for confident, experienced women speakers. Women's Speech Association is filling this need. In forums and at round table discussions, they talk of women's role in a world of peace. Intelligently they discuss political, economic, and social aspects of present day problems. They sponsor poetry and choral readings, they encourage debates, they even plan to award keys to outstanding members of their group. But WSA has fun, too. The girls had a big banquet in December and attended a public speaking conference at Penn State. Because the members of the Women's Speech Association love to speak, they are going to entertain local women's clubs in their hopeful future that will make up their back to normal schedule.

To do this, cooperation was needed from every staff member from the editor to the typist. All work was done in a scheme. The Editorial Staff saw that the stories were written, pictures taken and identified, prints sent to the engraver, copy checked, and the final plans made with the printer. The Business Staff balanced the books, solicited students for sales and pictures, and contacted advertisers for ads. The staffs began work in early October and their work was not finished until the Owl came out Unison was the keynote, and because of this unison, your Owl is here.

The News was the voice of the students and in a sense the spirit of University life. Taking the Nev s and the work that goes into each issue for granted is an easy thing to do. There were beats to cover, stories to write, layout to make, copy to proof and a hundred and one other little details that go into putting out a newspaper. But the Editorial staff was a competent one and so the Editor's policies were carried out.

The Editorial Staff made up only one half of the unity that was found in the News this year. The other half was the Business staff: for it was the Business Manager and his staff who supplied the money to make it possible for the Editor to carry out her policies. Through the constant effort cf this staff. Pittsburgh was scoured for ads, finances were kept straight and circulation of the paper to students, subscribers and advertisers was accomplished. This was the 1946 Pitt News working with unity as their keynote. It was the beginning of a back-to-normal News on the Pitt campus. 225 Jim Pettican Muriel Wilkinson John Pager Betty Udman Doloros Keisler Beverly Passauer Thirty-one years ago, students of Pitt and Tech met at the Shadyside Presbyterian Church and formed the Pitkin Club for the purpose of discussing religion and problems of the day. Other customs have changed at the University, but after these 31 years, Wednesday night is still Pitkin Night, a date to look forward to each week. One thing that has made Pitkin a favorite with Pitt students is the delicious dinner that is served at each meeting by the women of the church. With a combination of lively discussions, debates, and good food, Pitkin has survived through two periods of war and has emerged stronger than before. Because of its great increase in numbers during the past year, the members of Pitkin Club feel that the year was one of the most successful. PITKIN President..... Vice President Secretary......

The teamwork of the three sections of the Player's organization, business, technical and acting, has resulted in a successful year. Until February, Pitt Players and reconversion and improvement plans were delayed by the lack of a suitable workshop. This handicap was overcome when they were given a room on the eighth floor where they could rehearse, paint scenery or check ticket sales of a present production. Reconversion and return to normal at Pitt were realized to a greater extent by the Player's first production of Saroyan’s Jim Dandy in March. The Players had seen the beginning of a back-to-normal schedule. 227 Belly Ryckman LEFT TO RIGHT: D. Rolsberg, Dr. Brittain. W. Stewart. R. Smith. L. Mclnerney. H. Knell. A. Colonna. M. Floming, F.

Melrose Fleming Treasurer ...............Walter Stewart Herky Knell Student Congress has tried to meet and successfully overcome the problems that beset any organization in this its first year on campus. Since September of 1945 we have tried to better student activities now campus, bring back ones that v ere inactive during the war and instigate new activities for the student's welfare. It's been a busy year and a full one. We've met and discussed plans for dances, mass assemblies, pep rallies. Spring Festival and tried to start Hello Week on its way to becoming a Pitt tradition. We've tried to bring out the Pitt spirit and make it click. It's been work but it's been working with Pitt students and for Pitt and so we've been more than repayed for cur efforts. It's been working for our school as your governing body and we hope we have lived up to your expectations. Herky Knell 228 STUDENT CONGRESS COMMITTEES Of the students, by the students, and for the students, describes Student Congress, governing body for all organizations on campus. It is the voice of the university students, expressing not only majority rule but also minority representation. Besides keeping the wheels of the regular Pitt activities in smooth working condition. Student Congress sponsors big University dances, Scholar's Day, the War Fund Drive. Bond Sales, and in general advises all functions that affect the student body. The students thank their Congress for the revival of several traditional pre-war activities. What a thrill it is to attend the University tea dances in spacious dance halls with good orchestras! Remember the Howdy Hop at the Masonic Temple and the Turkey Trot at the Schneley Hotel? Once more a regular activities hour is provided on Thursdays fourth hour with good speakers, pep meetings, and student assemblies. We were impressed with Bishop Pardue, T. Z. Koo, and the inspirational Christmas meeting. In the way of old student-faculty associations, the Oak Table plan has faculty and students eating lunch together and getting acquainted. And something new has been added! The Congress sponsored a drive to clean up the ground floor. An outstanding ticket booth for all groups to use is only one evidence of this drive. The fourteen members of Student Congress are also kept busy every Thursday afternoon, for they have the responsibility of choosing reliable committees for University affairs, and hearing all petitions and problems facing student groups. Student Congress is responsible for bringing pre-war days back to campus life with the by words, cooperation and coordination. LEFT TO RIGHT: L. Mclnornoy. J. Levinson. B. Robin , J. Segal, L.

Anno Pa� ca io 230 .........Ruth Tobias .......Muriel Gusky Since 1920 each woman in the University has had a voice in the administration of her own affairs through the Women's Self Government Association. Aimed at encouraging loyalty to the University and its traditions and at creating a spirit of friendship among the faculty, the administration, and the women students. WSGA is the force that controls and unifies all women's activities on campus. Patterned after our national government, this organization consists of three branches; executive, judicial and legislative. The executive includes the four officers, the chief justice cf the Senior Court and six others. Senior Court makes up the judicial branch and the legislative branch is composed of representatives from the alumni, Freshman Council, each of the women's fraternities. Student Congress, the WSGA Committee chairmen and the Guild Advisory Board. Using these methods of governing, WSGA plans to surpass in this post-war period their pre-war goals for women's activities on Pitt's campus. SENIOR COURT M. J. Modloy, L. Parson. Miss Rush.

Drawing from the group of veterans, the Glee Club found many promising vocalists and, under the directorship of Dr. T. M. Finney, prepared to defend its pre-war reputation. The group had an enviable activities list for the year: singing at the Chancellor's Reception, and taking a spring tour. The Glee Club is also branching out and singing with choral groups from neighboring schools. This spring, Glee Club members and a singing group from Pennsylvania College for Women presented a concert. The social climax of the year was their banquet where keys were presented to worthy members of the Glee Club. With this pre-war activities schedule, the Glee Club boys are on their road back to normal. MEN S GLEE CLUB President _____ Vice President Secrotary .... Librarian ----- .. Milton Tokash ..

Eighth period Monday and Wednesday is practice time. The girls take an elevator to the twenty-third floor and meet with their director, Theodore M. Finney (Pop), for an hour of choral singing. Besides singing at numerous Pitt functions such as the Chancellor's Reception, the girls had a fine social program planned this year. They started off with an open house this fall fo’lowed by a gay Christmas parly. The girls closed their first post-war year with the traditional spring concert and a banquet where the loyal members were presented keys. Carol Pitzor 233 FIRST ROW: J. Schwarz. N. J. Dorllold. J.

Then during the weekend of December 1, the transfer students at the University were invited on a Sentimental Journey to Holiday Lodge. W.A.A. also sponsored inter-class sports including basketball, bowling, indoor swimming, and badminton. It was a full schedule and a back-to-normal one for Women's Athletic Association. 234 Janico Mouschko The one on the left is helping most Heads or Tails? —Never in the refrigerator We can’t lose the Davis Cup now!

Supervising these activities is a Committee of management, comprised of both faculty and student members. Completely student in its membership is the Cabinet which places itself closer to the operation of these activities. Every possible interest is reached through the Y. Available to all denominations are such diversified activities as Freshman Camp, Forum, and Freshman Club. Speakers of note are brought to Pitt, local, regional and national conferences are attended.

YWCA appeals to all interest groups, doing committee wcrk on programs, worship, personnel, publicity, social, and recreational lines. Y members work hard to carry on their varied activities and due to an ever widening membership, they plan for bigger, more extensive programs in the future. Beginning this year; Monday Luncheon and Intercollegiate conferences were opened without limitations to the great number of students who wished to attend. This year's speakers at Monday Luncheon have been a source of inspiration for many of us. But every so often, the hard working Y girls take a week-end off, roll up their blue jeans, and dash away for Camp Carondowanna. There they have discussions, and conference groups. And at night, they gather around a campfire and sing the well known Y songs. They come home filled with ambition and new ideas to make their organization bigger and better. But I think it should go this way -Hello—YWCA office Service with a smile. It's your lead Mary Carolyn. MILITARY We come to school three days a week, tailored in blue and gold, and on the way we maybe passed several officers whom we had to salute. We didn't mind the curious looks of the pedestrians downtown, nor too much the razzing we took about the gold stripe or an occasional chevron. We decried our monkey suits and the walks in the park to cadence, but secretly we were a little proud of those combination West Point and regular army uniforms sporting our Alma Mater's colors. We spent the year learning how to command, or, more essentially, how to take those commands close-mouthed. We learned how to read other than auto maps, and how to field strip the M-l. We heard how the manager of our rifle team had been recommended for the Legion of Merit and had received special citation for saving the army $500,000. We said goodbye and good luck to our commanding officer, Major Mervin Wills, who served as Professor of Military Science and Tactics for four years. We got behind our school and our leader Chancellor Fitzgerald. A part of Pitt, our MILITARY department. 241 R. O. T. C Major Merlin V. Wills Major Mervin V. Wills Head of the Military Department Captain William R. Havlak A. S. T. Supervisor Lieutenant James D. Hunter Acting Professor of Military Science and Tactics M Sgt. James T. Doherty Chief Clerk M Sgt. Samuel S. Simon Assistant Clerk M Sgt. J. J. Hudak Instructor Sgt. Watts J. Shafclowski Supply Sergeant 242 R. O. T. C. PERSONNEL The staff of the Military Department underwent changes as great as those in student personnel. New faces appeared and many familiar figures left the staff to become civilians. Head of the Military Department is Major Merlin V. Wills. C. A. C., who took command at Pitt in 1944. A graduate of Pitt and a member cf the Y.M.C.A. committee of management. Major Wills takes an active part in Pitt life, helping for instance to reinstates the traditional Freshman Camp in 1945. One of the familiar men at Pitt who has left the University for civilian life is Major William R. Havlak. Major Havlak, also a graduate of the University, supervised the A.S.T. medical students until Christmas, when he received his discharge after five years at Pitt. A man new on the staff, but not new at Pitt, is first Lieutenant James D. Hunter. Lt. Hunter graduated from Pitt in 1942, before entering the Air Corps and serving in the North African, Sicialian and Italian campaigns. A few days after Lt. Hunter arrived, another shift took place in the department. M Sg� . John Flynn, who had served at the University since 1943, left for Philadelphia and civilian status. He was replaced by M Sgt. Samuel S. Simon. Early in 1946, the staff was enlarged by the arrival of M Sgt. John Hudak. Sgt. Hudak came to Pitt to take the place of M Sgt. J. M. Block. Another staff member is M Sgt. James T. Doherty. Sgt. Doherty has seen overseas service and was a member of the U. S. Military Mission in Russia and Iran, besides seeing service in Africa, Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran, India, and Burma. With all this experience, he still likes the Army. A member of the military department who saw considerable service overseas is Sgt. Watts J. Shablowski. He served for 18 months with the famous Fighting First Infantry in North Africa and Sicily. Wounded in Sicily, Sgt. Shablowski was returned to the U. S. to teach military science at Pitt. Color Guard on parade Drill day Caplain Havlak adjusts a field pack Ready, Aim, Fire! Ml ■) A. S. T. P. Scon after the advanced training program was reinstated, the A.S.T.P. program at the University disappeared. At midyear only Company C, the medical boys, remained at the Cathedral living on the third and fourth floor of the Cathedral.. In March, however, the War Department discontinued this A.S.T.P. training program. The seniors were commissioned. The juniors, sophomores and freshmen were discharged if their scholastic records were satisfactory. When these boys left, there went with them our last reminder of the earlier war year when the Air Corps and the A.S.T.'s occupied a great part of our life as they made the Cathedral really throb. M Sgl. John Hudak 244 Sgt. Samuel Simon R. O. T. C. 1946 saw the long missing advanced R.O.T.C. program return to Pitt. The war had eliminated the advanced course from the University; but, in 1945, the War Department authorized the renewal of the upper-class Coast Artillery program. The terms of the authorization limited the new course to veterans. The program calls for two years advanced training prefaced by two years basic and climaxed by appointment as second Lieutenant in the Army Reserve. To make allowance for vets, the program allows the substitution of one year cf active military service for the basic course. Although the ever present draft law kept the R.O.T.C. personnel changing rapidly, the basic course did reconvert with respect to the pre-war practice of appointing cadet officers. Harry Lentchner became battalion major; William Raines, Martin Gluck, captains; lieutenants were Tom Leiper, Bernard Labuskes, Louis Baraff and William Babyak. 245 Joseph Walker FIRST ROW: J. Krantr.

Jim Doherty built up the 1946 Rifle squad from freshmen, including a number of veterans. These boys, coached by Sgt. Watts Sha-blowski, practiced until Christmas at dry firing in the Cathedral. Early in January they began live fire shooting up in the Pitt Stadium range. Scores were compared and the best man selected for the R.O.T.C. and Varsity teams. The Rifle team fired in the National and 3rd Service matches and succeeded in winning the Hearst Championship. In addition to this the team fired against 64 college R.O.T.C. chapters, and won sixty of these matches. Out of the fifteen man team, six of the members were veterans. Major Merlin V. Wills is in charge of the team, Sgt. Watts J. Shablowski is the ccach and M Sgt. James Doherty is their manager. The team plans to reestablish the Pitt Rifles, an honorary military fraternity, which was discontinued because cf the war. 246 MILITARY HALL DF FAME to B ROBERT RDRM5 'RUBBERB OLD BERT EORTLRND BBERLL D.J.

And so it went throughout 1941, '42, '43, and '44. Each of these years the OWL chose, as in the pre-war years, a Hall of Fame. It consisted of those men who had been conspicuously active at Pitt and had contributed their time and talent toward a better school life at Pitt. The Hall of Fame was our tribute to them. Many of those elected to the hall entered the armed forces and served their country as they had served their school. Now that peace has been won and these men are returning, we of the 1946 OWL think it only fitting that our yearbook contain some sort of tribute to these men. With this in mind, we present a Military Hall of Fame, composed of those former leaders at the University. To choose such a group was difficult. Many records were examined. Many were incomplete. A standard scale of requirements was drawn up and adhered to. It included attendance at Pitt during the war years and service overseas in a theater of war. It is unfortunate that all the men and women on Pitt's service flag could not be included in this Hall of Fame. But since this would be physically impossible, we have have chosen a few of the leaders and hope that we may in some measure honor the rest by dedicating the 1946 Military Hall of Fame to all who have served our country and our University. 248 ROBERT C. ADAMS Bob Adams was best known on Pitt's Campus for his work on the PITT NEWS. He joined the staff in his freshman year, was appointed campus editor as a junior, and became editor of the weekly in his senior year. Bob's activities as a freshman won election to Druids as well as membership in Pi Tau Phi, Pi Sigma Alpha, and Scabbard and Blade. He was elected Junior Worthy in 1939 and was subsequently tapped to Omicron Delta Kappa. The completicn of four year of R.O.T.C. netted Bob a commission of Second lieutenant in the Coast Artillery Corps.

RUGGERO ALDISERT Ruggy Aldisert came to Pitt from Carnegie High, back in 1937. His interest in activities centered early around the PITT NEWS. He served on the staff for four years, and, like Bob Adams, was made editor during his senior year.

He was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant and sent to the Pacific. He returned to this country a 1st Lieutenant. CORTLAND BACALL One of the wide-eyed freshies who listened to Pitt's Dean of Men explain extra-curricular activities back in 1937 was Cortland Bacall. That he took the Dean's advice to heart was soon evidenced by Cort's election to Druids the following year. Phi Eta Sigma, Pitt Rifles, Order cf the Artus, and Scabbard Blade also admitted him to membership. He sang in the Glee Club and became manager of that organization in his junior year. He also sang in the Heinz Chapel Choir and played in Pitt's band. Cort's business abilities resulted in appointment as business manager of the PITT NEWS in his senior year. After his June graduation, Cort entered the Army Quartermaster Corps. He was soon promoted from 2nd Lieutenant to Captain and, after receiving training at the Philadelphia Quartermaster School, was sent to the Pacific theater in May, 1942.

While overseas he was promoted to Captain and in 1944 v as Assistant Adjutant General of Headquarters, Fifteenth Air Force Service Command; Headquarters Mediteranean Allied Air Force. JOHN G. BROSKY Scholarship, athletics, military and social activities were fields of achievement for John G. Brosky. A high quality point average won admission for John to Phi Eta Sigma in his first year, and initiated him into Delta Tau Delta fraternity. Track occupied much of his after class time, especially when he became captain of the cross country runners. As a sophomore, John was tapped to Druids, John Marshall and Phi Alpha Theta. These many activities were rewarded by appointment as an upperclass counselor, Junior Worthy, and climaxed by appointment to ODK. After working on the PITT NEWS for two years he switched to the OWL and became the 1942 editor. In ROTC. John became a cadet major and joined Scabbard S Blade. After graduation in 1942, John entered the army as a 2nd Lieutenant. He received Commando” training and was sent to the Southwest Pacific a 1st Lieutenant. John served overseas for 24 months and returned to the U. S. a Captain. ALVIN J. GROSS Business Administration was the chief interest of Alvin Gross at Pitt.

A1 came out a 2nd lieutenant and went overseas a 1st lieutenant. 250 ALDO L. ICARDI Every time an Alleghenee rolled out of Pitt stadium this year many Pitt students thought back to the ground shaking cheers back in '43 when Ike Icardi was in charge. Cheerleader's Club was only one of Aldo Icardi's many Pitt activities. A member of Pitt Rifles and Scabbard S Blade, Ike chairmaned publicity for the 1942 Military Ball. He held this same position for the Soph Hop and won the Druid sophomore award. Ike was president of Phi Eta Sigma, and also of the Independent Association.

LOEB Taylor Allderdice High sent Selwyn Loeb to Pitt back in 1937. A student in the School of Business Administration, Selwyn took an active interest in the business angle of the OWL. He became circulation manager of the yearbook as a junior and became business manager in 1941. The ROTC appealed to Sel and he became social chairman of Pitt Rifles and a member of Scabbard Blade. He served as vice-president and then as president of his fraternity. Pi Lambda Phi. In his senior year he was on IF Council and received recognition by admission to ODK.

Scott was placed on active duty in the United States Army, Pitt lost one of its most outstanding athletes. Going overseas with the 103rd Infantry Division, Scotty first distinguished himself near Celeste, France when he swam a river, under heavy enemy fire, to repair vital communications lines. For this, he was awarded the Bronze Star. His brave action in later combat brought him another Bronze Star, a Silver Star, and a field commission as a Second lieutenant. After V-E Day he established military governments in four German towns, then again proved his athletic ability playing with outstanding teams in Europe. This success sent him to the University of Biarritz, France where he continued his collegiate work. He was placed on an inactive status as a Captain in the United States Army Reserve on April 13, 1946. While at Pitt Scotty was active in Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity and played freshman and sophomore football and freshman baseball. ROBERT M. SHAW Robert M. Shaw's extracurricular interests at the University began in his freshman year when he entered Pitt Rifles, Men's Debating Association and was pledged to Delta Tau Delta. Bob's sophomore year brought recognition in Druids. His interest in social activities, which began when he worked on the Freshman Dance, continued. He helped plan three Spring Festivals and the Junior Prom. Bob took part in YMCA work, managing Freshman Camp and became president of the Y in '41. Work on four Military Ball committees, membership in Scabbard Blade, and service as an upperclass counselor round out the activities which won for Bob admission to ODK. He became vice-president of the latter honorary in his senior year. He entered the Navy after graduation as a Lieutenant (J. g.) and after attending the Chaplain training shool at William Mary College, was transferred to the Naval Air Station at Norman. Oklahoma; going overseas a short time later. ROBERT SULLIVAN In February of 1946, Pitt welcomed back Robert Sullivan home after three years of service in the United States Army. Freshly discarded were the silver bars of his lieutenancy in the Tank Corps. As eventful and distinguished as his career at Pitt was his tour of duty in the Service. Bob participated in the French campaign and later in the German action. The tradition of a job well done was kept alive by another Pitt man a man who contributed so well to that tradition while an undergraduate of the University. During his four years at Pitt, Bob participated in many activities. He was tapped to Druids, Kappa Phi Kappa, Delta Sigma Rho, Delta Delta Lambda, Omicron Delta Kappa, and was vice-president of ODK and president of DD1 during his senior year. Besides these honoraries, Bob was active in Men's Debate, Co-manager his senior year. Pitt Rifles and YMCA. His training and participation in activities here at Pitt gave well the indication that Robert Sullivan would maintain Pitt standards and ideals. 252 RICHARD R. WEISS When Richard Weiss took over the editorship of the OWL in his senior year, it was the climax of three years of hard work. During his undergraduate years, Dick also worked on the PITT NEWS, joined Cap Gown, and pledged to Pi Lambda Phi. As an upperclassmen. Dick was tapped to Druids, John Marshall, and ODK.

After serving overseas, Dick returned to this country in October. 1945. THOMAS WESTERMAN Thomas Westermann came to Pitt back in 1938 from Carnegie High. Music, Business Administration and Military were Tom's chief extracurricular interests. He joined the Pitt Band as a freshman and later became president of the Pitt Concert Band.

He served in the Pacific as a Lieutenant (Jg.) with the 7th Fleet. Gus received the Purple Heart when he was wounded in the invasion of Palawan. 253 SPORTS We trudged up the hill to the stadium eight times this year in hopes that our first post-war team, although far from normal, would turn in Panther-like fashion upon some of its favored rivals. We were disappointed more often than not, though, but these hopes continued and found their reward in the 7-0 upset over Penn State closing the season. Then during the cold winter evenings, we went to the stadium pavilion to be warmed by the fiery spirit of Doc Carlson and his court jesters . Once we saw them beat the tireless Towering Titans of Westminster and we knew we had a powerful team. But then came the dawning of real hopes. We saw our baseball team finish with a better season than seven classes before us, and we knew that championships were on their way back. Most of us, though, didn't jam the stadium to see the track meets which were held during the spring. But how we wished we had, when we read day after day that Pitt had won another meet. No one could say, what's wrong with your track team? anyway, for we claimed two national championships. But all through the thick that became thinner as time went by, we cheered and hoped, and the best fan always was Chancellor Fitzgerald, our real cheerleader. A part of Pitt, our SPORTS.

Unlike previous seasons, this opener was not a warm up game. Illinois sported a veteran aggregation that defeated Pitt 23 to 6. Inexperience had lead the Panthers to costly mistakes which ultimately cost them the game. Not even the cold spraying drizzle prevented the 10,000 pro-Pitt fans from enjoying the West Virginia game. Our cousins'' from the hills came through in usual style as they took it on the chin 20 to 0. The score did not fully tell the story for the Panthers outrushed West Virginia 426 yards to 172, accumulating 18 first downs to the Mountaineers' 4. Why don't we do this more often should have been the Panther slogan following the Bucknell game. Sporting a powerful running attack, which reminded Pitt fans of years back a young Panther eleven swamped Bucknell 38 to 0. It might have been a perfect football game had not the Panthers become too overconfident against Michigan State, for the Panthers were caught napping. The game ended with Michigan State desperately fighting off the Panthers, but the score was still 7 to 12. Still feeling the sting from the Michigan State upset, the Panthers played host to Notre Dame. For awhile in the second quarter it seemed as if a Notre Dame setup might be transformed into an upset. However, in the third quarter the Irish started to overrun a tired, underclassed Pitt team. Herb Dough-las's touchdown romp in the final minutes of play typified the spirit of the entire Pitt team— never say die. The score: 9 to 39. Many fans believed that an upset was in the offing when an unbeaten Temple eleven played the Panthers. But the Panthers seemed to lack a scoring punch for although they pushed Temple up and down the field continually they couldn't seem to score. The game ended disappointingly with the Panthers beaten by an inferior aggregation- 6 to 0. Playing their best defensive game of the season the Pitt Panthers went down to a 28 to 0 defeat by Purdue and actually looked good in doing it. Except for the spasmodic break throughs in the Panther line, the Purdue backs were held in check for the entire game. The Pitt-Ohio State game would have been an amazing paragraph for Pitt's memoirs had the game ended in a tie, for the Ohioans gained 359 yards to Pitt's 91 and accumulated 16 first downs to Pitt's 5. This vastly superior Ohio State team were not to be denied and late in the fourth quarter they scored twice to win the game 14 to 0. Again rain, mud and another Big Ten football team. The 19 to 0 score does not really tell the story for the chilling rain held the Hoosiers in check all afternoon. Pitt tried hard but was completely outclassed by the powerful, well-manned Indiana eleven. Held scoreless for four straight games by lines which grossly outweighed them, the Panthers sprang to life against an eveniy matched Lion eleven. The Panthers led by Jimmy Joe Robinson were determined to win, and they did, 7 to 0. Pitt needed this game to give the boys the satisfaction of knowing that they can do well when they are up against evenly matched opposition.

With the services of co-captains Nate Apple and Hank Zeller back from the previous year. Dr. Carlson had the nucleus for this year's squad. Other carryovers from the previous year were two experienced reserves Ed Maruzewski, a rugged guard, and Sam Cosentino, a chunky forward. By the time the campaign opened the doctor had three freshmen ready to do varsity duty, Sammy David, a six foot lad with good basketball sense and an accurate eye; Pat Malarkey, a rangy guard; and Alex Medich, a stalwart guard. With this combine of players. Dr. Carlson tackled Ohio State in the opener at Columbus. The Pitt men put up a terrific battle, only to lose out in the closing minutes by a ten point margin. But in the next six games the Panthers weren't to be stopped, they came from behind in five of the next half of dozen encounters to win. Bethany fell after the Panthers began clicking on all five, took Geneva after a hard struggle, Carnegie Tech supplied little opposition, sent Penn State back home after a torrid fourth quarter, set down Westminster by nine points, and eked out another win over Geneva with seconds remaining. The second half schedule was a sad one. Ohio State again set us back, as did Penn State. We took another one from Tech, but West Virginia beat us twice and Army and Westminster added two more red marks. The result a .500 season for Dr. Carlson in his 24th year as coach.

Coach Carl Olson had a right to feel proud cf his first track team since before the war, for the University's cinder men competed in seven meets, winning three and placing second in a triangular meet with Penn State and Maryland. Six individual reasons for being proud of his team were due to Jack Henderson and Bill Curtis in the two mile, Ed Sudzina in the mile, Clarence Doak in the 440, and Herb Douglas and Tommy Carr in the dash. Douglas also broke the previous broad jump record of 24' 1 by his 24'4ye jump at the IC4A championship meet. Coach Olson had produced a track team that he and Pitt were proud of in this first back-to-normal track season at the University.

Of these, the Mitterling men won four and lost four. Starring in this year's infield was Art Barnes who not only covered short stop and second base, but hit the ball at .400 clip. Teaming up with Barnes at the plate was right fielder Jack Smodic, who also hit .400. The team's record doesn't speak for itself. The pitching was good but the fielding was very loose; especially with men on the base paths. Sammy David and Tex Richards led the mound corps in wins. Supporting them was Buck Johnson, a star tackle on the gridiron and Jim Kline. One thing can be said of this season—Pitt won more games this year than they did in the past four and next year looks like an even more promising season if old Jup leaves us alone.

ACTIVITIES Here at Pitt our activities are what bring fun and happiness into our college life. We have our Tuck Shops where we can gather and gab about the big dance that is coming up or the one that was so super on Friday night. A familiar sight in the Tuck Shop too is Chancellor Fitzgerald who comes down to have a cup of coffee and is eagerly welcomed by the students. We attend Hello Week, Spring Festival and all the other affairs in full force, and can depend on seeing the Chancellor joining in the fun if only for a few moments. In Activities we get many wonderful memories to carry with us through our life. Most of these memories will be happy ones, and some might bring a chuckle in the years to come because we were so crushed when the night of the big bonfire it rained and had to be called off. We study at school, but we have our fun. A part of Pitt, our ACTIVITIES. 262 ACTIVITIES 263 E L L 0 On© of those songs goes. What a Difference a Day Makes. But here at Pitt, one of those comments could be, What a Difference an 'O' Makes. Showing a striking resemblance, yet a deep-rooted antithesis, toward traditional fraternity Hell Weeks, Student Congress-sponsored Hello Week begain its life. It is one of those things that we cannot hail as a Back-to-Normal omen, for Hello Week was unknown at pre-war Normal Pitt. However, it promises to become as much a fixture (and probably mere welcome one) as its twin without the O . As in Thomas Gray. The curfew told the Knell ----the brainstorm for the Meek Meet Week is charged to him, via curfew or not. In some ways, though, it could be confused with the fraternity escapade. They both last the same length of time, usually four days; they both always present something to do at ail times; they both are chiefly concerned with those neophytes who are newly acquired as either registrants or pledges; they both are timed so the individual may know enough to get around so he can appreciate them, but may not know enough to feel them redundant; they both cling to the same fundamental purpose—that is to provide a setting where intimacy is fostered and personality exposed. But there are differences—big differences. Instead of toothpick-chopsticked meals from under the table, there were lots drawn to see who would get to eat with Betty or Lois or that cute Freshman; instead of firing a filthy furnace, there was a bonfire cheering session with welcome refreshments after the Michigan State game; instead of desperately polishing an unpolishable frat house for a dance in their honor but with specifications to suit others, there was a dance requiring nothing for enjoyment but two bits and a yen for fun; instead of pledge entertainment as corny as it was compulsory, there was Milt with his own Golden Banter in the Tuck Shop.

Somewhere someone said something once about the happy accident of alliteration. But for the Howdy Hop, even the alliteration wasn't an accident. Presented as one of the features of Hello Week , the Howdy Hop made it possible to dance with that person or those persons you had finally had an excuse to meet. But there was ample proof at the Howdy Hop, that those Student Congress members sympathized with the students in their endless task of getting to know their new schoolmates. October twelfth was a date they, like Mr. Moody, could say Howdy, bub, to Pitt, to upperclassmen and to each other.

For the Fijis, two things stood out. First was their Sing Team, champion for the first postwar year at Pitt, and the second was their striking purple and white banner demanding attention as soon as one could see in the door. But after all, it was an Inter-fraternity Ball, and frat men got together happily forgetting the politics and the athletic rivalry that marked the preceding year. Bob Chester's orchestra and favorite dates made most everyone agree that it was an evening well sjsent. Winning Phi Gam Sing Team and dates 267 Back to normal with our first formal BUNNY HOP With egg-dyed rabbits plastered on bulletin boards and hung from the ground floor ceiling, the Engineering and Mines Association announced its Easter dance, the Bunny Hop. Without looking tco closely at the posters though, it wasn't tco evident what rabbits, pink yellow and blue rabbits, yet, had to do with engineering or mining. But Saturday night, April thirteenth we found that something, perhaps rabbits or perhaps engineers made us forget the heat and the one square foot each couple seemed to have to dance in. and made us remember only the smooth rhythm of Andy Shirley's orchestra and the soft atmosphere of the beautifully decorated Urban Room. This traditional spring dance held by Engineering and Mines Cabinet was up to its pre-war par. Its Easter theme that had started with rabbits in the Cathedral was carried out at the dance with the Urban Room sprouting bunny silhouettes, tulips, and balloons in spring colors. Topping off this were crepe paper streamers of yellow, lilac, pink, white and pale green. Silver band bracelets with a bunny stamped on them were given to the girls as favors. E M was on its way back-to-normal with a better than ever Engineer sponsored dance in this first post-war year at Pitt.

The William Penn Ballroom—the music of Brad Hunt and his orchestra the swish of evening gowns and the shine of tux and tails made Panhellenic Ball one of the brightest of this year's social affairs. The surprise of the evening was the return of favors. Fraternity women gave their dates Pan-Hellenic keys inscribed with Pan-Hellenic Ball, 1946 . Pan-Hellenic Council will always remember this successful dance as a milestone in the return to normal at Pitt. COMMITTEE Chairman..................Alico Kropps Business Manager ....

This was followed by a Mardi Gras banquet in the mess hall and later in the evening the whole campus turned out at Shadyside Ballfield for a carnival that had everything from side shows to dance halls to offer the crowd. Thursday, the second day of the festival, opened with a luncheon at Lilly Court which featured a men's fraternities review of the latest in women's hats. Later in the afternoon couples crowded the Syria Mosque for a tea dance, and in the evening there were more laughs for the crowds at the Vets Review in Stephen Foster Memorial. This Vet's Review, which was sponsored by the Veteran's Association, produced a show that reminded the campus of the pre-war traditional Cap and Gown show. Due to a capable staff the Vets managed to put together a show manned by amateurs in a month's time that would have been a credit to a professional group. Friday was Tap Day with its air of excitement and expectation. Students were tapped to honoraries, Hall of Fame and Senior Queen, Alma Mater and ODK Awardee were announced. In the stadium that afternoon there v ere float parades and other women's and men's events. Pitt's 1946 Spring Festival was climaxed by the grand Mardi Gras Ball Saturday night featuring the tick tock rhythm of Gray Gordon. Spring Festival Mardi Gras was over, but the progress toward Back-to-Normal Spring Festivals will be remembered.
