And many years ago when the pioneers came across the mountains looking for a place to build their city, they found that point, that place where three rivers meet. And around The Point they built their mills, their shops, their homes. Now the city is big and strong and great, but The Point remains. The city is broad and sprawling, but its heart is in the same place—The Point where the three rivers meet. 8 Just as the city has its heart at The Point, the University has its heart in the Commons Room. Teas, parties, organ music. Coronations— the Common Room is symbolic of all the traditions. ail the ideals of the University. The Commons Room, with its Gothic arches and majestic stone corridors, is the center of Pitt's social life. It's the place to go to talk, to think, or just to sit and rest. It's more than just the heart: it's the soul of the University as well. iiiivz rnxriL STATE HALL i K- Sr1': PRESIDENT BOWMAN 22 (. itiinx.s To the Students: We want a sunlike outward life at Pitt. When a student who is real meets another student who is real in the hall or classroom or Commons Room, a fresh determination gets into hearts. Inward fires start: education becomes a radiant, happy affair: and you in the depth of your soul are becoming the you that you want to be. All of that is a main idea at Pitt. We are proud of the material side of Pitt—honest, excellent buildings with meanings built into them. We are prouder, though, of a quality of sincerity all over the campus that makes the ever-present now a delight and an inspiration. John C.. Bowman President of the University President Bowman at Commencement Student greeted by the President President Bowman leaving Commeneement 23 OH A N CEI.LOR FITZG ER A LD 21 . iti:i:ri 4. s To the Students: We. here at Pitt, learned something last fall which we should never forget —that a football team of youngsters who learned their fundamentals and gave their best would receive the united and loyal support of the University and this community. The 1946 team did not win many games, but large crowds went to see those boys play and the sports editors wrote columns of encouragement. Every boy on the team had an unconquerable spirit. We were so thrilled by their play that we came away with a feeling of pride. They made us want to do our best. Do you remember the Purdue game? We had them beaten 8-7. time out. three seconds to play, then a field goal by Purdue with time running out as the ball went through the uprights. A deathlike hush went over the crowd but there was not a critic. May you of the Class of 1947 give your best.” R. H. Fitzgerald Chancellor of the University Our Chancellor meet our parent Chancellor ami Mr .

A member of the Board of Trus-tees. Dr. Weber has been an integral member of the University, having served it in a wide range of capacities. In addition to being a former Pitt student, he has served as a member of the faculty and as head of tlx Engineering Department. As supervising engineer, he played an important role in the construction of the Cathedral and the Heinz Chapel. Today, as Secretary, capable and conscientious Dr. Weber has the task of looking after the physical needs of the University campus. DR. J. GIL.BERT QUICK Serving in the important capacity of Registrar is versatile and efficient Dr. J. Gilbert Quick. With the return of tlx veterans and the subsequent high enrollment record. Dr. Quick has been faced with one of the most difficult tasks in the University. Because of the number of students. it became necessary to hold the September registration in tlx spacious Syria Mosque. Spring semester registration was held under a special plan which resulted in a minimum of confusion and a high degree of efficiency. Tlx problems of registration combined with insufficient space and a shortage of teachers have indeed make it a busy year for Registrar Quick. 26 First row P. Herr. G. D. Shram. J. Parian. Second row Dr. A. Young. M. Follanshre A H UM ASMM IATIOA G. Divan Shram Graduates may always keep in close contact with University activities by joining the General Alumni Association This organization, with offices on the thirty-sixth floor of the Cathedral of Learning, represents more than 5.000 graduates The organization is governed by an Alumni Council which promotes the interests of the group. This year additional Pitt clubs, under the auspices of the Association, were installed all over the country. The Alumni Association sponsored such events as homecoming, the annual Christmas party, progressive bridge. Charter Day, and a reunion. The Alumni News Review, edited by J. Clyde Barton, was published five times this year. The officers of the Alumni Association for the year were: Dixon Shrum. as President. Howard Ziegler as Vice-president. Clyde Barton as Secretary, and Phillip K. Herr as Treasurer. 27 in:an of wo ii: The Dean of Women, Miss Helen Pool Rush, and her assistants and secretaries offer to women students and to the University all types of personnel services. Mrs. Harriet Kohbcrger guides extra curricular activities from her new office on the twelfth floor. Vocational advice consisting of individual and group conferences and placement in part-time work are planned by Mrs. Betty Hamilton. She also provides housing for out-of-town women students. All those associated with the Dean of Women's Office as well as women of the faculty plan and carry out the Orientation Program for freshman women. For the last five years, this office has aided the University in the administration of the Commons Room, under the direction of Mrs. Funice Ross, the Nationality Rooms by Miss Nordin, Heinz Chapel by Miss Robinson, and the Information Room by Mrs. Raymond. Mrs. Millard, on the first floor, and Miss Becker, on the twelfth, along with their regular duties as secretaries, keep the personnel records ot individuals and groups. More recentlv, the completion and maintenance of the Women's Floor at Pitt has been the leading project of the department. The Twelfth Floor was officially opened with a successful open house in January. The efficient staff of the Dean of Women's Office develops the student as a person while rhe faculty is developing the student along intellectual lines. Helen Pool Rush Miss Robinson. Mrs, Raymond.

Middle Pitt men fust discover the Office of the Dean of Men several months before they start their freshman year. Prom then, until they graduate they have occasion again and again to enter that office for information and guidance. All men applying for admission to the University, whether they are veterans or non-veterans, must fill out an information sheet and appear for an interview with a member of the Office staff before their applications even arc considered. Here is the first step in the now highly-selective process of determining who of the thousands of men attempting to enter Pitt shall be accepted. Presiding over the Office genially is Theodore W. Biddle. The Dean, official guardian angel of the greatest number of men ever to attend Pitt, still has managed to meet informally with a surprisingly high percentage of them. Students who have waited long hours to see him have found that his personal interest in them and his willingness to help them repay them the time they have lost waiting. This is the Office's chief purpose—to interest itself in all the problems of all Pitt men. As freshmen. they were introduced to the University, its history and its ways. The Offtce of Dean of Men did everything possible to adjust freshmen to University life. When the men became sophomores and juniors, their social and educational growth was fostered and broadened through extra-curricular activities, which they may only have sampled as freshmen. As seniors and prospective graduates, they get from the Office aid in obtaining employment. Robert L. Arthur Charles II. Ebert William F. Saalbach J. Edward Ruart 30 Edwin J. McIntosh Miss Hecht. Miss Harris. Miss Maloney. Miss Messner. William E. McElwain Miss Stevenson Miss Schafer Throughout their stay at Pitt, the Office attempts to obtain for out-of-town students whatever housing may be available, as dose to the school as possible. One of the Office's greatest and newest tasks is that of aiding the veteran student in his special problems. It means answering every one of tin hundreds of questions raised by veterans studying under the G-I Bill of Rights. It means keeping the thousands of records and serving as liaison between the student and the Veterans' Administration. It even means that the Office of Dean of Men is called upon to advise women—ex-nurses. ex-Wacs, ex-Waves, ex-Spars, ex-Marines— now in school and receiving veterans benefits. Assisting Dean Biddle is a staff of seven men. Robert I.. Arthur is in charge of musical activities and directs the Pitt Band and Orchestra. Charles H. Ebert. Jr., conducts the Placement Bureau. J. Edward Ricart serves as special veterans counsellor and supervises the complicated network of veterans affairs within the school. William McElwain advises the staffs of the Owl. Panther, and News: Edwin J. McIntosh supervises Fraternities and Men’s Council: William F. Saalbach advises Cap and Gown, Student Congress and its committee system, and runs the Housing Bureau. Working from the Information Room, rather than the main office. William Daufenbach, the senior member of the Office staff, oversees the Cathedral marshals. The efficient and pleasant secretarial staff includes the Misses Mary Stevenson, Perra Hecht. Mary Jane Messner. Meryl Harris. Betty Maloney. Rose Ann Schaefer. Betty Rank. Virginia Matty, Virginia Tierney and Madelyn Reinhcimcr. 31 I'll be with you in a minute.

Each has given service to the University far in excess of the average demand for time and co-operation. These students were chosen by a committee of faculty members and junior men and women. At Tap Day on May 9. the names of these ten men and ten women were revealed at the services in Soldier's and Sailor's Memorial Hall. in 12 1.1 HENRY CLOUGHERTY M DOROTHY JAMISON T II E II A L L HERMAN KNELL 17 GROVER McCANN r ii i: ii i i. i ut 19 RUSSHI.L ROBINSON 50 RUTH TOBIAS O I F A M i: BETTY WOOD 52 Ill INI IHHH OF AIIM IMS T It AT IO A The use ol the Pittsburgh district ns a great laboratory in which the students can obtain a wealth of valuable practical knowledge is one of the major stresses of the policy of the School of Business Administration. The policy emphasizes a close association between the University and business in the community. In addition to the basic curriculum, the student is taught about the problems which business faces and the changes it undergoes. When the Bus Ad is about to graduate he has a background of practical business knowledge plus a mastery of the fundamentals of business administration. During the past year the School of Business Administration has been faced with its own postwar problems.” all stemming from the increased enrollment which has more than tripled in the past two semesters. Headed by congenial and popular Dean Vincent W. I.anfear. the school has evoked many changes, the most important of which has been the major expansion of the faculty. Vintent V.

E The College, the largest single school of the University of Pittsburgh, had the greatest enrollment in its history during the past year. With its liberal arts education, it seeks to help young people realize their full capacities, first by making them aware of the qualities they possess, then by consciously fostering and developing these to the fullest possible extent. The College, composed of seventeen departments, also strives to help the student to think independently and to convey his ideas effectively. From this he derives satisfaction and gains confidence which helps him in later life. As Dean of the College. Dr. Stanton C. Crawford found enrollment, schedules, and College functions as the school’s greatest problems this year, but all were solved. The College and Dean Crawford endeavor to serve the students so that the students may learn to serve the University. 59 tii i: ( (m u. i: ADRIENNE I. ALDISERT—Carnegie . . . Zcta Tau Alpha . . .

Friendly And likeable Dean Samuel P. Franklin reports several minor changes in teaching policy. Increased school visitation and the extension of practice teaching arc being emphasized by the department. Plans have also been formulated for a weekly laboratory period, during which undergraduates will be given a chance to come into direct contact with the community. Although the School of Education has not been too serious-ly affected by the influx of veterans, the number of in-service teachers enrolled has increased appreciably. Extended facilities have been offered to this group, including a plan whereby the University. working in conjunction with the various industries of the area, offers actual work experience to vocational counsellors with college credit. Under this plan, high school counsellors are given an opportunity to gain practical experience in the various industries and upon returning to their schools are better able to advise high school students.

They were excellent and serious students who demanded the best efforts of their instructors. Under these conditions the greatest problem for the next few years must be the care of this large number. The school was constantly adding new teachers to its staff. Under the steady leadership of Dean E. A. Holbrook, the school acquired and installed varied and expensive laboratory equipment and is trying to secure additional laboratory space. While the desire to promote graduate work and to carry on additional research was strong, first place was given to the needs of caring adequately for the returned veteran undergraduate student. E. A.

O F IIKXT 1S T It Y Sf II OO I The past year of 1946. in addition to marking the fiftieth anniversary of dental education in Pittsburgh, has been a memorable year of progress for the School of Dentistry. Within the past year many progressive changes have taken place both in the curriculum and in the physical plant of the Dentistry Department. Various revisions in dental education technique have been effected in the curriculum and as a result more space and equipment per student has become necessary. The laboratories have been remodeled and almost all the equipment of the entire school has been replaced by the latest and best equipment available. In 1946. 'he School of Dentistry experienced a great loss in the death of Dean H. Edmund Eriescll. A recognized leader in national dental circles. Dean Friesell was personally responsible for many advances in dental education. It was during his reign of leadership as Dean that the University of Pittsburgh School of Dentistry rose to its prominent position as one of the finest dental schools in the nation. r. C.

Druwicki rsi Edward Burn Psi Omega, professional dental fraternity, concentrated on athletics, scholarship, and social affairs this year. By maintaining a steady line, the Psi O's won the dental interfraternity two-handed touch football championship and had two of their players. Edward Burns and Danny Lewis, recognized on the All-Intramural University football team. Besides keeping up a winning football team and powerful basketball squad, the Psi O's found time to completely redecorate their house. When the redecorating was finished, the members celebrated with a house dance, and later in the semester they entertained at their homes with buffet dinners and informal dances. The outstanding affair of the year was a formal dance at which the Psi O’s and their dates danced to the music of Clyde Knight and his orchestra. After Pitt's home football games, they held Victory” dances at North Park. In February the graduating members were honored at a formal dance. The officers of Psi Omega for the year were: Edward Burns as Grand Master. P. Hoskins as Secretary. and J. Bell as House Manager. 89 First row—D. Shapiro. G. Gilinsky. M. Snidcrmjn. F.. Carter. I.

The fraternity furthered interest in their work by sponsoring a series of professional clinics at which prominent men in the field spoke on various phases of dentistry. In addition to their scholastic activities, the Alpha Omegas found time during the semester to have a Senior Formal in honor of their graduating members, a fraternity picnic, informal house dances, and smokers, at which the broth ers could just relax and discuss their mutual interests. In the spring, after new members had been tapped, the Alpha Omegas held a pledge initiation dance for the entire fraternity. Alpha Omega made a definite contribution to a successful year for the University of Pittsburgh. The officers of Alpha Omega for the year were Jerry Markowitz, as President. Abe Weinberg as Vice President. Marvin Press as Secretary, and Abe Rothman as Treasurer. Jerru Markowitz HO OF XIl(SI 4. SCI! OOL The School of Nursing, the youngest school of the University, was established in 1939 as a result of an urgent need of trained nurses in the community. In 1940. Magee and Childrens’ Hospitals closed their schools and became divisions of the University's School of Nursing. They were later joined by Eye and Ear Hospital, which became the third major division. Early in 1944, a campaign was organized to raise two and a half million dollars for the construction of a combined Home and School of Nursing in the Medical Center. To date, one and a half million dollars has been raised for the project. The enrollment in the School of Nursing has grown from 58 in 1938. to the present semester total of 1.294. Today, it is one of the four accredited schools which offer to all students the seven basic clinical services and public health experience. Under the capable direction of Dean Ruth Kuehn. the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing has. in the short space of nine years, become one of the finest of its kind in the nation. � Ruth Perkinx Kuehn ill m iiooi of isi iksl ; JOAN A.

Reif. iht University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy has, in the past year, continued in its usual manner of maintaining an excellent record of service. In 1946, the School of Pharmacy was confronted with the familiar problem of returning servicemen. In order to facilitate the large number o? veteran applicants, it became necessary to disregard usual policy and admit a freshman class in February of 1946. Of the present enrollment of 3 19. over 70 per cent are veterans. Many physical improvements, including a new chemistry laboratory have been incorporated into the School of Pharmacy building during recent months. With the addition of several new members of the faculty, the School is looking forward to a bright future. The students especially are looking forward to a most promising future in that the present demand for pharmacists is ex peeled to continue for a considerable length ot time. lidusoed C.

The Stephen Foster stage rocked with the knobby-kneed chorus routine from December 4 to December 14. With the aid of the graduate Cap and Gown club, professional musical and dance direction was obtained to produce Kilroy Was Here. The familiar boy meets girl background featured romantic tunes, sparkling dance sequences amid jokes, old and new. The plot offered a chance to burlesque USO talent, the army. Sinatra, and the school in general. Highlights of the two-act production centered on the native dance by the chorus, a realistic vaudeville routine, and five original songs written by undergraduates. Social and financial success of the show was attributed to the cooperation of both tin technical and business staffs. Early in January Cap and Gown season ended with a banquet for old and new members. The nucleus of the club was formed with the tappihg of eight members.

The social season for the Class of 1940 began with a ‘ Vanity Fair” party complete with crepe paper, pins, and original costumes. In January, at the annual banquet, an outstanding Sophomore was selected, and events for the year were highlighted by a sports spree, fashion show, and Sophomore Round-up. Sophomores found their second year at Pitt a busy one as they forgot their green arm-band freshman standing and entered University activities as veterans.

Backed by the largest engineering class in history, the cabinet endeavored to ease crowded conditions and present an attractive social program. Problems such as student seniority registration and locker shortages were discussed and passed on to proper authority for adoption. The traditional E ft M Christmas dance, tin Holly Folly, gave engineers and their dates a chance to rhumba to Brad Hunt and his orchestra. Long to be remembered was the engineer smoker, labeled the Pitt Follies of 1947. A lot of gab. a lot of smoke, and professional entertainment assured this evening of success. Events such as these created good fellowship among the engineers, to be remembered after campus days are forgotten.

And when, at 4:30. the choir marches down the aisle, everyone knows that this singing group is a finished product. Pop'' Finney, the amiable and able director of the choir, has been instrumental in bringing about this finish. The choir has to work hard to attain their perfect harmony and certain melody. Every day from 4:30 to 5:30. the twenty-third floor rings with hymns and anthems. And just before school starts, carefree basses, altos, tenors, and sopranos take a camping trip. This year the group spent a week in the wilds of Pennsylvania. They ate, danced, and went hiking, but mostly, they sang and had fun doing it. The choir had their formal Christmas dinner at the University Club, and the spring tour was termed a huge success. Theodore M. Finneu 140 First rou —C. Davis. T. Leiper, E. Conley. B. Labuskes.

R.O.T.C. program here at Pitt includes 21 2 students enrolled in elementary training and 112 advanced students. 98 of whom are veterans with at least one year of service. The elementary course includes two years of formal instruction gener ally applicable to the army as a whole. The advance course also covers a period of two years and is of a specialized branch type designed to qualify selected students for reserve commissions. During tlx first year of advanced training tlx students study such subjects as military leadership, psychology. personnel management, military problems of the United States, occupied territories, military law. tactics and technique, with a relatively short period devoted to the close order drilling that is more commonly associated with the training of the R.O.T.C.

The number of active members this year was just short of the record year of 1941. With their swelled enrollment. the Phi Delts were able to—and did—accomplish much. The big affair of the year was the Province dance on December 1 5. The Pitt chapter of Phi Delta Theta played host to the other Phi Delt chapters in the district when they held their formal at the Chartiers Country Club. House parties were weekly events until May 29 when the boys at 225 Dithridgc sponsored their annual spring formal. This was just the first of many good years to come for the Pennsylvania Iota chapter. The officers of Phi Delta Theta for the year were: George Lynn as President. John M. Douthitt as Vice-president.

Veteran members returning to Pitt were anxious to pitch in and start the activities moving at a fast pace. The social calendar was packed full of events, including the Thanksgiving formal, rushing dances, and countless stags. With this strong social program, it is not hard to see why every Phi Ep fell into the spirit of unity when the chapter served as host to the national convention in December. The convention came to a successful close with a New Year's Eve formal ball at the William Penn. Phi Epsilon Pi participated in all inter-fraternity sports events and took an important part in all phases of Pitt activities throughout the year.

Like the other fraternities on campus, the Phi Gams campaigned for a new house. The conversation at 4725 Wallingford Street this year also centered around the Phi Gam Centennial Ekklesia in 1948. which will be held here in Pittsburgh. But with plans for a new house and a centennial in formation, the Fijis had a full social calendar and many activities on campus. They won first place in the IF sports competition in track, bowling, and tlx sweepstakes, and took first place again in the IF sing with their original arrangement of When Day Is Done and their Smoke Dreams fraternity song.

Their social calendar included Christmas and spring formals. picnics, hayrides. and many dances. To complicate the PiKA’s moving problems were the trophies they have won. The IF; Sports Trophy emphasized the fact that they were first in football, basketball, swimming. and second in tin sweepstakes, ping pong, track, and bowling.

The pledges deserve a lot of credit for their untiring efforts in polishing, painting, and general all-around work. National convention was both a serious and gay affair at the Essex Mouse in New York, climaxed by the big New Year’s Eve celebration.

The boys all had a hand in helping to clean and remodel their house on BeUeficId Street and they had a grand time doing it. They cooperated fully in inter-rraternity athletics.

This is a tradition of Sigma Chi’s throughout the nation that is as old as the fraternity itself. But the Sigs proved that their talent is not limited to choosing a sweetheart. They came out on top in scholarship, too. and were seen in most activities on campus. The boys really celebrated after the Penn State game with a big dance in honor of their brothers from State.

Its first significant success was placing first among all social fraternities in scholarship competition for the spring semester. Summer rushing and the return of a few more veterans brought Theta Chi's strength to nineteen men for the beginning of the 1947 school year. The Theta Chi's devoted their attention throughout the year to finding a house. Hours of work spent on this problem were offset by several successful parties and some surprising intramural victories. This was a great year for Alpha Beta, for in that time it passed from infancy into a strong chapter of which all Theta Chi is proud. The officers of Theta Chi for the year were: Jack O'Brien as President. Bob Swearingen as Vice-president. Jack Kaercher as Secretary, and Ed Heckman as Treasurer. 219 First roic—O. Hall. W. Fisher.

Note) 221 SPORTS Paralleling Pitt's sports program is a similar pattern that includes all of the people of the city. In Pittsburgh there are many sports arenas, where sports lovers may see baseball, basketball. football, hockey, track, tennis. It is true that sport has become a big business but underlying it all is a spirit of sportsmanship among the fans and the players that is something more than big business. It is this spirit that makes Pittsburgh one of the country's “red hot sports towns.” People say that Pitt has gone off the athletic gold standard. But we know better than that. Those of us who saw the courage of Pitt's great football team, those of us who overflowed the student section at almost every game, those of us who saw Doc Carlson s little men” lose games, but never lose heart, those of us who saw those things and all the rest—well, we know better. We know the color of Pitt's Panther is not yellow, but gold. WESLEY FESLER 228 L. FOOTBAI 1 Milligan, Fife. Hat twig. Fester. Clark. Fither Wes Fester's 1946 edition of the Pitt football Panther left its imprint on many a gridiron. The past season proved that Pitt is on the upgrade and will cause plenty of trouble for its future foes. Of all the bright spots in the past season's play, none glittered as much as the sparkling Pitt defense. Even the mighty powers of Illinois. Notre Dame, and Ohio State found the Jungle Cat defense anything but easy pickings. But it was not only on defense that the Blue and Gold showed signs of returning to its former greatness, for the young Panther uncorked some striking power of its own. and countered strongly against its highly rated foes. In no game was Pitt’s offensive prowess more in evidence than in the Penn State tussle. Prior to this bat tie. the Nittany Lions had held seven opponents to an average rushing net of 81.8 yards, tops in tIk nation for rushing. But after the Panthers had roared through them for 227 yards, the Staters were nowhere to be found among the first ten. The squad's high-spirited determination was an outstanding asset, for it was said of the 1946 Panthers that they were most at ease within their own ten-yard line. Perhaps, through the steady guidance of Fesler's successor. Mike Milligan and his staff, the saying next year will be. Pitt is most at borne within the enemy’s ten-yard line. First row—Teitt.

Bruno Buddy Young scoots 4 6 yards for a touchdown. After outfighting and outplaying the Big Nine champions for the first two periods, Pitt's gold-en Panthers finally bowed before superior experience and weight by a 3 V 7 score. Except for an early 46-yard run by Buddy Young, Illinois got exactly nowhere in the first half. Late in the second period Lou Cccconi passed to Bill Mc-Peak on the Illinois one-yard line, then went across on a quarterback sneak. Early in the second half, Art Dufelmeier of Illinois went 37 yards through right guard to break the tic. Shortly afterward Paul Patterson caught a pass in the end zone for tlx third score. Fighting desperately to live up to pre-game ratings, the Illini scored twice more in the fourth quarter on the tiring Pitt team. Showing amazing speed. Young went around left end from tlx one-yard line. As an anti climax. Chick Maggioh carried a Pitt punt 75 yards for the final touchdown. Reversing the score by which they were defeat ed the previous week, the Jungle Cats rolled over tlx Mountaineers. 33-7. After a scoreless first quarter. West Virginia went into tlx lead on a 28-yard pass to Chuck Helenski. The Panthers struck back immediately as Cccconi took tlx kickoff and went 98 yards for the score. Two minutes later Carl De-Pasqua threw a 48-yard scoring pass to Bill Abraham. Now the touchdowns were coming in showers. Bill Bruno intercepted a pass on the Pitt 47. and on the following play he broke through center for tlx third Pitt score. The Mountaineers were still staggering from this when an interception by Clougherty set up another Pitt touchdown. Cecconi ran it over from the six. Pitt's last score came at the end of a sustained drive when Abraham plunged six yards to cross the goal. Bill Mthm bangs down Jimmy Devonshire while Carl DePasqua catches a back full of knuckles. 230 Milt SwistOwUz (jams 5 yards for tbv frith Despite a strong first period defense, the Pi't eleven bowed to powerful Notre Dame, 33-0. Johnny l.ujack opened the second quarter by throwing a 26-yard touchdown pass to Livingston. Terry Brennan accounted for the second tally when he plunged five yards through tackle. By the end of the first half, the Panthers were badly crippled. Lee Ward had been forced to leave the game with an injured knee. Leo Skla-dany also had hobbled oil. and Buck Johnson was a third casualty. In the opening moments of the third quarter the Irish recovered a Pitt fumble on tlx- 30. In two plays Jim Mello made the score 19-0. Six minutes later Mello again scored, running 29 yards through the center of the Panther line. The final touchdown was the climax of a 47-yard drive. After four plays had gained 22 yards. Brennan sprinted through tackle for 25 yards and a touchdown. In a game played in a heavy downpour the Panthers outgained the Temple Owls 218 yards to 157. but were unable to score. The Owls punched inside the Pitt 30 early in the game but got nowhere, and rarely got to midfield from then on. Pitt made three penetrations into Temple territory, twice getting as far as the 34-yard line. One of these visits came when Johnny La-FTankie intercepted an Owl pass and was drjgged down from behind with no one between him and the goal line. One remarkable aspect of tlx game was the skill with which both teams handled the slippery ball. Pitt fumbled only once. Temple twice, each team recovering its own bobbles. Neither club had any success with its passes, most of them slithering off the passers’ hands. Only 5.000 loyal but drenched spectators, the smallest crowd of the season, saw the stalemate. 231 TtmpU't Tommy Skladany it uopptd by Johnny Kosh Bill Bruno ploughs through center for 6 yard Holding Marquette's nationally known aerial-ists to only five completions in twenty attempts, the Panthers squeezed past the Golden Ava lanche. 7-6. Bariy in the second quarter Cecconi fumbled Carl Schuette's put. and Marquette re covered on its own 1 1. After three plays had netted 21 yards. Schuette passed to Captain Bob O'Hagan for the first score of the game. The at tempted conversion was low and to the left. Bobby Lee. playing his first game since being hurt in the season's opener, led the Panthers on their successful third quarter march. Lee passed from tlx Pitt 10 to McPeak on the 45. After two line bucks failed to produce. DePasqua took to the air and threw a beautiful 50-yard pass to Skladany for the score. Cecconi place-kicked the all-important extra point. Pitt looked impressive against the powerful Hoosiers. but the difference in the 20-6 score represented the accurate right arm of Ben Raimondi. The Panthers took an early lead as Lee passed 25 yards to McPeak for the score. But seven plays later Raimondi and the Hoosiers struck back. Fullback Pete Pibos plunged over for tlx score, but it was Raimondi s passes that carried the attack. At the start of the second quarter, center Bob Cannadv intercepted a DePasqua pass and returned it to the Pitt 40. After two line plays were stopped. Jack Groomes swept right end for a touchdown. Bill Cowan took a hand-off and went 64 yards for the final Indiana score. Three fumbles inside the Indiana five-yard line ruined Pitt's last period drives.

After an exchange of punts in the early part of the first quarter Purdue’s offensive power began to show and the end of the period found them on the Pitt 10. The second quarter was only three plays old when Purdue's Stormy Pfohl plunged over for the initial score of the day. Strain's placekick was good. The Boilermakers' line continued to stall the Panther offensive until a beautifully placed punt by De-Pasqua sailed out of bounds on the Purdue two-yard line. On the next play Skladany tackled Bob DcMoss in the end zone for a safety. After Purdue put the ball in play with a punt from its own 20-vard line. Pitt began rolling, but a Cecconi pass was intercepted by Gargol on the Boilermaker 20. ending the scoring threat. In the third quarter Pitt continued pressing offensively. but each time their attack faltered as they approached the enemy goal. Late in the fourth quarter Lee passed to Skladany who advanced to the Boilermaker 28. Successive ground gains by DePasqua, Bruno and Abraham gave the Panthers a first down on the Purdue five-yard stripe. On his second attempt Bruno went through tackle for the touchdown. Cecconi's kick was wide, but Pitt led. 8-7. hollowing the kickoff the Pitt line held firmly, and Purdue was forced to kick. On the second play after the punt. McKay recovered l.indy I.auro's fumble on the Pitt 43. A DeMoss pass placed the ball on the 12. and after three plays made two yards and only three seconds remained.

At the beginning of the second quarter. Alex Ver-dova fumbled DePasqua's punt, and Bcrnic Bar-kouskie recovered on the Buckeye 19. Cecconi then threw a pass to McPeak in the end zone for a touchdown. Ohio State roared right back as George Spencer threw an 1 1-yard pass to Cecil Souders for their first touchdown. Midway in the third quarter tin Buckeyes, failing to advance on the ground, took to the air and a 54-yard pass. Spencer to Bob Brugge, put them ahead. The final period was only a few minutes old. when the Panthers began a 68-yard march to the Buckeye goal, where Cecconi. on a quarterback sneak, made the score. Pitt 13. Ohio State 1 4. The Buckeyes tallied their final points on another Spencer to Brugge pass, this one covering eight yards. The raging Panther thoroughly tamed the favored Nittany Lion as the Pitt squad captured its twenty seventh Penn State victory, by a score of 14-7. Cecconi hauled in a 38-yard aerial from DePasqua which carried to the State three yard line, and Abraham sliced through guard for six points. Bill Coury added the extra point. In the fourth quarter a long drive was climaxed by a bullet-like pass from Cecconi to Skladany. who stepped in front of three State men to make the catch in the end zone. Coury again booted the extra point and the Panthers led. 14-0. Finally hitting their stride, mainly through the efforts of Elwood Petchel. the Lions scored on a line buck by Bob Weitzell after a 56-yard march. Petchel converted, but the Lions were finished.

In seven of the games lost the squad was never outscored by more than one field goal. Some years the luck seems to be bad and this must have been that type of season for the Panthers. Here was one of the greatest little teams ever. They had to have plenty of courage to win as often as they did. Every team that beat them was able to dump in enough points to get the margin of victory, but no team was able to display superior ball handling or better mental drive. Only Nate Apple, and possibly Walt Zcrnich. seems to be lost to next year s team, and there will surely be a nucleus next year around which to build the Win ’Em All Champions. —Dr. Carlson. Dr. H. C.

Dr. Carlson's figure eight wizards finished the season with a record of eight wins and ten losses. Nate Apple, outstanding in his all-around floor ability. led the under-sized Panthers in heart breaking early season losses to Ohio State. Illinois. Butler, and Northwestern. Three of the defeats were by a total of eight points. The Pitt squad finally hit its stride by defeating the favored Penn State five on the stadium floor and then romping over the Tech quintet. 60-22. This pair of wins set a spark into Carlson's floormen and despite the loss of several key men. they gained the respect of every coming opponent. In outstanding performances the Ice Cream Kids upset Ohio State. 5141. and then held one of the nation s top teams. West Virginia, to a 52 41 victory. With spirits soaring the Panthers traveled to Farrell where they took revenge on the previously victorious Westminster Titans. 44 59. The final game at West Virginia was typical of the entire season. The battling midgets fought desperately but their opponents height was the decisive factor as the Mountain cers outscored the Panthers. 72-59. Sammy David led the team in scoring with 177 points. Close on his heels were Dodo Canterna with 1 5 1 points. Nate Apple with I 56. Willie Cieply with 100. and Wally Zernich with 94.

K Coach Olsen's track men were not very active in winter indoor competition due to the lack of an adequately equipped field house. They did. however, enter the two major meets of the indoor season, the West Point Relays and the IC4-A indoor competition. In the relays Herb Douglas set a new West Point record in the broad jump, leaping 24% feet. He placed third in the 60-yard dash. Ed Sud-zina. mainstay of the cross country squad, ran a close second in the two mile run. Travelling to the IC4-A indoor meets, the Pitt representation again held their own among the best track men in the country. Douglas took the broad jump, this time reaching the 23 and 9 10 mark and Sudzina was a little less fortunate, placing fourth in the two-mile run. With the winter schedule fulfilled the cindermen looked forward to the outdoor meets.

A little overconfident after their initial win. the team traveled to Slippery Rock where the more experienced teachers defeated Waite's proteges. 42-3}. The next three meets were comparatively easy, the Pitt squad trouncing Edinboro, 56-19: Penn State. 46-29. and Geneva. 57-9. Backed by this enviable record, the mermen were confident of a win in their rematch with the Rockets, but again the young Pitt team went down to defeat. 42-33. Outstanding this season for the Panthers was the 400-yard relay team of Capt. Cannon. Jackson. Brugger. and Wilde. Manko and Levine were undefeated in the backstroke and 440-yard free style, respectively. With fourteen teams competing, the Panthers piled up eighteen points and captured third place in the Eastern Collegiate Swim Meet held at Rutgers University.

The pre-season drills brought forth sixty-five battery candidates and almost twice that number of fielders. Although the essentials were plentiful, one little detail was lacking, a playing field. The Stadium was not available because of the Civic Light Opera, which opens in May. and as a result schedule plans were thrown into a mess. Hoping for the best. Mr. Mitterling went on with the spring drills, his spirits bolstered a little by the fine form displayed by the many returning lettermen. Back from last year were ace pitcher Sammy David and catcher George Schweincbratcn. while returning from '45 nine were the battcrymates. Virg F-assio and Bob l.ucchino.

Under the direction of George Weekes. a variety of sports were opened to the non-varsity men. The fall schedule featured touch football with games played at the old Shady Side Academy. In the winter schedule basketball and bowling were predominant. The spring program, however, was to be the most interesting of the three, with track meets, golf matches and softball contests planned. Pi Kappa Alpha walked off with the touch football honors, wining all but two of their games.

The Phi Ep's. led by Bruce Gilbert, slipped through the first half undefeated and went on to win ten straight contests before being stopped by the once-defeated Pi Kaps. Then the third place Delts upset the apple cart and crowned the PiKA's champs by defeating the Phi Ep's. The Phi Gam's missed perfection in the battle of ten pins by one game in the first half schedule as they rolled up a record of seventeen wins and one loss.

Some people call these things culture, but to most of us- activities are just things in which we take part for the fun. Activities might be defined as “the college life in college life. The romance and tradition that goes with a Junior Prom, the fun of the Freshman Dance, the afternoon tea dances and the new people you meet there, the humor and seriousness of a Pitt Players Production, the assembly programs, the class parties, the peacefulness of a Chapel service, the long walks in Schcnley Park on spring afternoons—all of that and much more come under the heading of activities.

Comic cartoons carried out the theme of the festival, highlight of the spring social calendar. Crowds cheered decorative floats, followed friends and brothers to open houses at the sororities, swarmed to the stadium for the races, danced hour upon hour at the tea dance and the grand ball, and settled back to school work after a hectic four days of festivity. The festival started rolling on the morning of May 7. At noon .there was luncheon on Lilly Court. Groups of entertainers from the Pittsburgh district displayed their talents in comedy, music, and out-and-out hilarity. Later in the afternoon, students streamed to the Syria Mosque for the tea dance where Tommy Carlyn and his orchestra provided the music. Wednesday evening, hundreds of fun-seekers treked to the Cartoon Carnival at Shadyside field. Open house at all sorority houses enticed mobs of students on Thursday afternoon. Thursday and Friday evenings featured special showings of a Pitt Players production at Stephen Foster Memorial. Fred Waring honored the University with a special broadcast on Friday morning. May 9. At 11:30. the annual 'Lap Day exercises were held on the lawn of Soldiers' and Sailor's Memorial Hall. Sweepstakes, track meets, and the float parade filled the entire afternoon schedule.

The last of four wonderful dances with tin friends she had known throughout her college days. But whatever the case, it was a dance to be remembered.
