So ARE THE STUDENTS TO TIIE I'xiVERslTV ... - mmnuFHnini Tins the Forty-fourth volume of the Owl was published under the direction of Lee M. Karageorge, Editor, and Roy Barns, Business Manager The Hu i liters All are architects of Fate, Working in these walls of Time; Some with massive deeds and great. Some with ornaments of rhyme. Nothing useless is, or low; Each thing in its place is best; And what seems but idle show Strengthens and supports the rest. For the structure that we raise. Time is with materials filled; Our to-days and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build. Truly shape and fashion these; Leave no yawning gaps between; Think not, because no man sees, Such things will remain unseen. In the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part; For the Gods see everywhere. Let us do our work as well. Both the unseen and the seen; Make the house, where Gods may dwell. Beautiful, entire, and clean. Else our lives are incomplete, Standing in these walls of Time, Broken stairways, where the feet Stumble as they seek to climb. Build to-day, then, strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure Shall to-morrow find its place. Thus alone can we attain To those turrets, where the eye Sees the world as one vast plain. And one boundless reach of sky.

Here is a story, a photographic presentation of the two major phases of college life. It brings you first the impressive formal side of student life and then the unceremonious informal side, in symbolic photographs. Here is a story, the essence of a year of student life at Pitt, as nearly as it can he expressed in words and pictures. On Fifth Avenue, Forbes Street, Bigelow Boulevard, the students approach the Cathedral of Learning. As they draw near it looms before them, they stop and look upward, then enter . . . 8 . . . walking swiftly to the Blue Tuck Shop, a merry “Morning” to a prof, a hearty “Hi va” to a fellow student a “one black coffee, please”, a hurried look at last night's assignment. . . 9 . . . and the day begins. The classroom chatter stills with the chimes . . . classes start and the voice of the instructor is heard, jovial, monotonous, or threatening, while . . . 10 ... in the Commons Room voices hum in mute tones, pages rustle in opening books, the organ’s closing strains fade into a friendly greeting, or an unfinished dream. 11 Activities . . . that’s something else again . . . we didn’t scrimmage for long hours, but we trudged up the big hill, yelled “Sock it to’em”, and t riumphantly swarmed down I)e Soto Street with goal posts held high . . . 12 . . . behind a Band that high-stepped, at quick time, tubas flashing, drums rolling, trumpets throbbing, led by a jauntily stepping, plume in hat, drum major, in precision razzle-dazzle. Its fanfare unequalled . . . 13 . . . but for Pitt Players who pooled their work, talents, and make-up to come up with another hit, or Men’s Debate who listened, thought, and spoke in New York, Chicago and a hundred other places, in between . . . 14 . . . (lances brimming with the New Look and new ideas, from the swirling Soph Hop and tempting Turkey Twirl through the IF Ball to the finale Festival Dance. 15 All these spokes of a wheel whose hub, noisy from questions and purchases, with its bearings on so much student life, never feels the oil of quiet. Soon days How into weeks, and weeks into months, and the term is upon us . . . the senior’s nostalgic memory, the freshman’s endless future. Wiflimit Any Though!? An artist produces a painting. The painting, if good, is dis-played. Each individual that views the painting delves into the resaon behind the artists composition: especially in this era of surrealistic and impressionistic art. It may he overheard at any exhibit, The artist, most decidedly, put across this or that impression, feeling, meaning through his composition or choice of objects in his painting. No one knows what the artist had in mind when the masterpiece was painted. That artist may have painted this work for the sheer joy of mixing colors with out any thought of a meaning or impression to be put across. Therefore in order to anticipate any misconceptions, we are here setting down the why and wherefore of our division pages. This, the 1949 Owl, has been divided into eight main sections and thirteen sub-divisions. These divisions were chosen as a cross-section of the myriad activities that make np student I if . The division pages are modern in design as is this new generation of college graduates. (With this in mind, we planned these page arrangements.) 'I'he background is an overall picture of students of the University; the students that are the University. A section of the background has been made lighter in tone than the overall picture to connote that the student body is the whole of many groups. Classes, the sum total of the University's schools; organizations, fraternities and societies, parts of the family that is the student body. Superimposed on the background is a picture depicting the section it forwards, in focus on but a few students. As the whole is made up of groups, so are the groups made up of individuals. 17 Administrative Officers. ... . President iionorariiis....... The Chancellor...............

President IIoxokakich John i. Bowman lielicved in the present and future students of the University more than anyone else. He dedicated his life to the Cathedral of learning, which he has explained simply, represents on the outside what a man should Ik on the inside. He lielieved and worked on the principle that the student would Ik taught l y his surroundings. Cuided firmly hy this Ix-lief he did not yield from his purpose of Building a University of which we would all Ik proud. Few students from the lass of 194!) know the man whose faith raised this Cathedral of learning, for I)r. Bowman has been living for the past few years in re- tirement at his farm in Hcfdord County. He no longer takes part in the everyday administration of the University he helped build, although he occasionally attends I 'niversity functions. The class of 1949 has left its mark in the stone and mortar of the Cathedral of I .earning. The building too has left some irremovable marks on the minds and hearts of this graduating class. We will forever Ik aware of days of youth and learning when we see this tower from all parts of the eitv of Pittsburgh, or when its vision is recalled in some far off place in the world. Dr. Bowman can truthfully feel that his faith in the students of the University has Ik cii rewarded. 21 Tin Chancellor Chancellor Itiifii II. Fitzgerald The Chancellor's Message To Seniors: You who have lx cn .students here the past year have lived at a time of greatness in the history of the Tniversity. In the I’niversity and in the community around it faith and optimism stirred men's imagination and set them working with fresh energy. People have developed new enthusiasm for what the I’niversity is trying to do. An immediate need was some huidlings and equipment for the Iniversity to do better its work of teaching and research. Members of the board of Trustees and of the Faculty. leading citizens of Western Pennsylvania, and many Alumni gave their time and their money, bast June an anonymous gift of $8,000.000 was made for the Medical School: in Septeml� er a gift of $18,600,000 came from the A. V. Mellon Educational and Charitable 'Trust for a Graduate School of Public Health: one Western Pennsplvauia corporation gave as much as $800,000: one Alumnus gave $2.50.000: many others gave generously, according to their more modest means. These gifts of money mean much, but what is behind the giving and what the gifts are to mean to students and teachers in the I niversity is much more. The I’niversity is here to help you and the students who come after you develop the ability to think, values by which you will live, and courage to act. Above all, we hope that this Cniversitv may help you in the great adventure of life to Ik your lx st self. For the understanding, the help, and the loyalty of you. the students. I am deeply grateful. Chancellor Fitzgerald joins the students in enthusiasm at the Penn State victory Hally. Here he mimics Bolkovac who caught the touchdown pass that won the game. 22 Tlie Sec l)r. John ••her Tin 111 This year every stuilcnt in the University received nn up-to-date cumulative record of his credits and grades. With this step the Registrar's office has at Iasi overtaken the |x st- var rush at l’itt. Actually, the new streamline procedures in I)r. J. (J. Quick’s office will handle the 20.000 enrollment with more speed ami efficiency than was possible in the pre-war days when there were only 12,000 students to process. The answer to the new efficiency is the International Business Machine system which has been installed on the eighteenth floor. Working sixteen hours a day, one of these machines addresses pre-registration kits automatically from master file cards at a speed of 80 lines per minute. Still other I.B..M. machines can turn out 100.000 grade reports in as little as 54 hours. The fastest hand recorder can do only about 2.1 such reports an hour. I ate in 1040. acting on the advice of assistant registrar K.A. Katchcldcr. the University ordered an IBM system specifically designed to handle the situation at Pitt. When the new machines arrived, the Registrar’s office was iM'hind by 350.000 in its grade reports, and losing ground. Now in June. 1049. the grade reports are up to date and cumulative records, not issued since early in 1040. have been distributed. retarv 1048 was a year of fulfillment for many of the dreams of Pitt Secretary Dr. John Weber. Year after year Dr. Weber has looked forward to the time when a new science building, better sports'facilities, libraries. and student buildings would Ik added to the University. The announcement this year of two new building programs was the first tangible evidence that at last Dr. Welter's hopes are to become a reality. A graduate of the University. Dr. Welter served as a captain in the first World War In-forc returning to teach in the Mechanical Kngincering department. After serving as head of the M.K. department. Dr. Welter became business manager of the University in 1020. His other services to Pitt include memltership on the Board of Trustees and many years as supervising engineer in the construction of the Cathedral and Heins1'. Chapel. Although his administrative duties as secretary an exacting. Dr. Weber has still found time to serve on the Board of Managers of Juvenile Court and as a inein-Iter of the City Planning Commission. gist car l)r. J.

Headed by Dean Helen Poole Kush, a staff of six works to integrate Pitt women into a full program of social and extracurricular activities. The twelfth floor of the Cathedral is now firmly established as the women’s floor and provides a much needed center for women’s activities and relaxation. The senior mentor system directed by Dean Kush insures every freshmen woman an uppcrclass friend and counselor during her first and hardest semester at Pitt. Helen Van Dyke is assistant to the Dean, in charge of the Information room. Working closely with her is Miss Klizabeth J. Wood who trains and assists the nationality room hostesses in their service of explaining Pitt to visitors. Jean K. Findley has charge of the Women’s Housing and Job Placement bureau. The Heinz Chapel is ably managed by assistant to the Dean. Mrs. Melrose Weitzcl.

Now in his eighth year as Dean of Men, Theodore W. Middle has as his goal the achievement of a well rounded student life by every man at Mitt. Aiding the Dean in striving towards this goal are seven assistants and directors. Fraternities are the chief responsibility of K. .1.

They art selected for their character, personality, academic achievement. participation in extra-curricular activities and service to the I'niversity. Senior Queen is a symbol. The members of the senior class not only honor her as a person, but also see in her, and honor in her, their own personal attainments. To be nominated for Senior Queen is in itself an honor of which any Pitt woman can be proud. Alma Mater, second in esteem only to the Senior Queen, serves as chief attendant in an English Coronation ceremony under the Gothic arches of the (’ominous Room, where the Senior Queen assumes the regalia of her office. Proclaimed Pitt’s most outstanding senior man by a board composed of faculty and fellow classmen is the Senior Awardee.

Retail Train Social Sciein The School of lliisiiies Administration The University's accountants, economists and sta-ticians of tomorrow are fortunate in having Dean Vincent Lanfear as head of the School of Business Administration. Dean Lmfear is never too busy to listen to the young men and women he guides, talk over their problems or have a friendly chat. The students in this school of the University follow a course designed to arm them with the minimum requirements necessary for success in the fast moving business world. The course of st udy is closely prescribed during the first two and a half years. It is during this time that the general background is imparted to the student. It is during the latter part of the junior and senior year that the students of ‘bus ad specialize. During this time, the aspiring accountants s|)end much of their time using the calculating machines in offices adjacent to the departments headquarters. Many students turn to the college to fill-in the rest of their education: the advertising student enrolling in courses of display art. design and copy writing, for example. Standards of scholarship, and | erformance are high in the business school. It is only after meeting these requirements that degrees are l estowed upon the men and women who have spent four years readying themselves for paricipation in the business world.

Seniors School of Business Administration 55 Tin College Oldest of all the University schools, the College this year garduates a record number of students. The Class of '49 College graduate looks back on four years thickly populated with the newly returnee! veteran. Headed by Dean Stanton C. Crawford, the College trains its students in the basic arts and sciences. Here the prospective graduate is guided through a course of study built about a core curricula of eighteen credits in each of three sj ecified fields: arts, social science, and physical science. The course of study in this branch of the University is a largely diversified one. for it prepares its students for the professional schools, grounds them in liberal arts, and equips them in the sciences. Here the doctor, lawyer and social worker obtain their pre-professional training. Prospective teachers also spend their first two years in the College before admittance into the School of Education. � Dean Crawford advises College students with the point of view that young people must be given every opportunity for working out their own careers. Two degrees are granted by the College, one in liberal arts, the other in science. The graduate is well rounded in the basic backgrounds so that he may easily fit into the complex pattern of life today. Dean Stanton C. Crawford 56 Seniors The College John A. Abbruzzesk Jr..

The School of Dentistry has always had as its objectives the training of students in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of oral diseases, disorders and deficiencies. The school has also impressed upon the student his responsibilities to his patients, his fellow practitioners and to the members of the other health services. Building from a firm base of the sciences, the student is given thorough training in the most modern techniques of scientific dentistry. For advanced students who show special ability, there are positions available in outside clinics, asylums and penal institutions to give these promising practitioners valuable experience in handling interesting and unusual cases. All students are prepared to practice dentistry with due regard for its social, economic, and ethical relationships. There is adequate opportunity for practitioners to pursue special courses. Graduate work is offered in the fields of teaching and research, and for those students who are interested in advanced degrees. The I'nivcrsity may be justly proud of its dental school, nationally recognized as one of the finest in the country. !)r. Van Kirk 83 IIafiz T. Abood. Manual Training; Psi Omega. Sheldon L. • Alpkht.

Franklin Teachers in this era of specialization must Ik equipped to meet the needs of rising generations. This means more than facts: it calls for instruction in the psychology, methods and techniques of teaching. Teachers of today must know how to cope with clashing personalities as well as mischeviousness. Education has progressed from the unattractive one-room schoolhouse to the modern school building. It is the job of I)r. Samuel 1 Franklin. Dean of the School of Education to make certain that the education of teachers keeps pace with the growth of our school system. Dean Franklin has been a member of the University administration since 1943 and at present represents the University as a member of the National Education Conference. Curriculum for the education student includes two years in the College followed by two years of specialized courses in the School of Education. However, scholarship, capability, and personality are prerequisites for admittance. One of the final tests of these students is a semester of practice teaching during which time actual teaching experience is gained, lessons are planned, taught, and tests given by these student teachers. This gives a well-rounded background to our future teachers. 86 Dokotiiv Adel. Iainglcy; Y.W.C.A.-2; IM.A.-S; W.A.A.-S. Annette Aconb. Grcenshurg H.S. George Agerter. Jr.. Ingomar High School.

With a registration exceeded only by the College, the School was faced with the problem of meeting current needs while looking to the projected Building Program to eventually drain off the overflow. Under Dean Elmer A. Holbrook, the E M School has kept abreast of latest developments in science and engineering with numerous additions to the faculty, revamped courses and texts, and a general Yhange-as-you-go’ improvement program in all fields of engineering and mining education. All this has been accomplished with no lowering of standards or prestige, in spite of the fact that the School each year places in its courses the absolute maximum number of students possible. The students themselves, although for the most art separated from those attending classes on the ower campus and at Ellsworth Center, round out their busy scholastic life with numerous social functions planned and operated through their own governing body.

Penn. 118 The School of Medicine To prepare the student for a practice of medicine profitable both to himself as a doctor and society as a whole—this has always l een the aim of the School of Medicine. The prospective practitioner is trained in the techniques of the latest developments in the field, learning the scientific principles underlying normal and abnormal functioning. He is trained in the physics and chemistry of human life, and the application of sound scientific methods of treatment. All this, however, is not taught at the expense of the student’s losing his perspective in the practice of the art of medicine. The doctor-to-be is taught the correct physician-patient relationship, his res|x nsibility to himself. to his patient, to his fellow practitioner. He is made to realize his duty in the support of the highest standards of the profession. He is trained to Ik completely worthy «f the high esteem with which his patients and neighbors will look upon him. The School of Medicine hopes to improve, through an extensive building and expansion program, t he standards of the medical curriculum which are already sufficiently high to warrant the school's being universally acclaimed as one of the nation’s best. I’nder the expanded curriculum there will Ik greater facilities for research in the medical sciences. The school will Ik able to surpass even its present high standards of scholarship. Dr. William S.

Whether they are undergraduates putting in their three years of general training at Magee Mall or Registered Nurses studying for specialized degrees. Dean Ruth Perkins Kuehn's students never lose contact with the actual situations for which their training will fit them to handle. Although one of the most recently founded of the University schools, the School of Nursing ranks with leading schools much older than its eleven years of existence. Through high standards of scholarship, ability, and character, the School each year graduates some of the nation’s finest nurses. Providing both a basic course in general nursing essentials and a program of graduate courses in specialized fields, the School has established itself as a center of nursing education soon to expand to even greater limits along with its partner fields of medicine and science.

Although it has operated in conjunction with the University for many years, it was only last year that the School of Pharmacy actually became a part of the University. Now full members of the student body the upper-class pharmacists are still isolated in their red brick building on the Boulevard of the Allies. It is here that they work, study, and ex| criment through their four-year course. Kvery bit of equipment necessary is on hand, even to a special library of four thousand volumes to help the pharmacists cojk- with the problems concerning their profession. A further aid to Pharmacy students is the American Pharmaceutical Association, a professional organization which maintains a student branch at the school. This local branch is entirely managed by students and it not only helps them with their work but also arranges social functions to relieve the burden of long classroom and laboratory hours. Directing all this activity is a well-trained professional statr headed by I)r. Kdward C. Keif, dean of the School of Pharmacy and a longtime member of its faculty. Dnin Eilwanl C. Hr if 128 Mary C.

Director of the Research Bureau for Retail Train ini: The Research Bureau for Retail Training was founded in 15)18 as a cooperative venture with Pittsburgh’s department stores. The Bureau offers a wide range of graduate courses iu retailing and conducts extensive research on retail merchandising and operating problems. The Bureau's one-year graduate course prepares students for responsible executive positions in imying, advertising, management, and personnel. Students combine classroom work with practical store ex| cricnce with pay. In addition to receiving a broad background in all phases of retailing, each student has an opportunity to select a store division in which to do specialized work. The Director of the Research Bureau for Retail Training is Mr. Bishop Brown, who has been associated with the Bureau since 192!) and has been its director since 1986. Every section of the country and 70 different colleges mul universities are represented in the Bureau's current class, the largest in its history. 1.14 School of Social Work 'Fhe School of Social Work, known as the School of Applied Social Sciences until the spring semester l!)4(i-47, offers a program of work in social administration to graduate social science majors. The school was established in 1938 by l)r. Wilber Irvin Newsletter and has since graduated many men and women with the degree of Master of Sciences in Social Administration. These graduates are employed as social workers in case work agencies, hospitals, settlements, community centers, the YWCA, the YM and YWHA, Girl Scouts and the bed Cross in this country and abroad. The School is made up of students from many colleges and universities in the United States and foreign countries. Its curriculum includes: group work, in which the students get actual experience by working with groups of children: child welfare, in which students counsel with foster parents: and medical social work where students explore problems created by illness. There is also family case work, program planning, crafts preparation, seminars and student-faculty conferences. Dean Wither I.

The 1049 Owl Hull of Fame, however, serves as an epithet of twenty students who, outstanding in their four year college life for character, honesty, leadership and work, have earned for themselves a place in the Owl Hall of Fame. Among them are scholars, athletes, journalists, social leaders, business men, artists, and administrators, who, depriving themselves of pleasures and good times, have devoted more than what was demanded of them. Many were considered by a committee of Juniors and faculty members before these twenty students were finally selected. May this honor be a spur to added fame and continued integrity. 146 Hall of Fame Tapers Page 1 IK HALL OF J „iL O’JI. a if a n y rani fin fefaclstone a nt ei nUJe U irffinia 148 FAME 149 HALL OF Uhllu..,, ?„ A« iV Q aili t shufretj H es ernu Lawrence Jj'urwin Ifr 1 0 FAME ? c. i ft ion ML, Ctarl aniei Cjreuneij 151 HALL OF FAME W 4 HiI 'folerf £'icletj -Xcnorc nUoff Rul ara Scl rorr fcolert Jn.jrhn 152 Foreword Honorary ( rganization From ODK’s huge gold key standing on the campus to the mysterious whisperings of the secret sessions.

The Students Governing Body ljirr� liurvtinklr A student (toll, and advisory system, and a new demonstration Nock were the three most important successful projects of the Student Congress of 1048-4!). Under the leadership of President Larry liurwinklc the fifteen members of Congress strived to interpret the wishes of the student IkxIv. and to provide services for the student welfare. Since the members of Congress wanted to draw into activities as many interested students as they could, they initiated a policy last spring of appointing to their various subordinate organizations students who were not meml crs of Congress. In accordance with this policy Abhy Clark was chosen to he chairman of the Pitt Chest Drive, which overreached its goal this year: Joe Santone was named to represent Congress on the Publications Board: Robert Dickey remained as student representative to the Cniversity Athletic Committee. and Jeanne Ditz was Congress' appointment to the policy-making University Committee on Political S|H-akers. All these appointees worked successfully with their res| ective committees and reported faithfully to Student Congress. Student Congress Firrt rote: A. Western i.hi: I). Fox: J. Johnson; I..

Pep rallies and hard-earned victory rallies during the fool I tall season started tile program of school activities in the fall. Pat Ix-ix with her assemblies committee provided a bonfire rally Indore the West Virginia game, as well as other rallies. In order to encourage more school spirit Student 'ongress appointed Flora Diemert. recording secretary of Congress, to work with Captain Hamilton, new Athletic Director, to plan a more colorful Demonstration Block for the footliall season of 1949-50. Financial support by the Athletic Department promises reactivation of the block, which has l� een defunct this year. Plans are now under way to insure student cooperation for the project. Also during footludl season Student Congress worked with the I’niversity to sponsor the High School Day Coke Dance, first of its kind at the I'niversity. After the Marquette game on October 10. hundreds of high school students who had attended the game had fun at the dance in the Syria Mosque, where Pitt students entertained them. Expansion of this hospitality program is now being discussed. Another innovation in student life this year was the Student Poll, which was begun to more adequately determine the needs and wants of the students in the I'niversity. Tom Ryan, chairman, reported that trial |m IIs revealed the system to Ik- more than 97% ac- curate. and the service is now ready to be used. An important result of the organization of this |h II was the addition of a class in the Psychology Department on Public Opinion Surveys. A more extensive academic advisory program was also effected by Congress. A program was submitted bv Dr. Rodger Russell and student chairman Audrey Westerman approved by Student Congress, and subsequently effected by the Deans. Every student with a designated major or intended major may now have a permanent advisor of his own request. Complete revision and clarification of I'niversity social rules, for the first time in many years, was the product of the Soical Committee which worked hard this year under Chairman Dave Fox. The prompt and efficient actions of the Appointments Committee chairmaned by Bob Silberstein permitted better planning of student dances and Scholars Day. The Assemblies Committee in the spring semester sponsored for the students such speakers as Frank (iervasi, Stuart Chase. Chancellor Fitzgerald, and Ogden Nash. With a genuine wish to furnish the students with a better-rounded I'niversity life, the members of Student Congress, assisted by their advisors. Professor Ixmis Johnston ami Dr. Rodger Russell, successfully completed these projects. I«1 t'irtf rote: J. Snntone; It- Xel � n: R Muhcr; 4. Madden; R. Kaufman; C. Clair; W. Macl iren; R. Oblev.

They also explore the world under the microscope and spend much time with distilling apparatus. Bunsen burners and test tubes. 198 Firrt roir: ('. Ilcency: M. I’itzor: I . Bcrgent. Second roir: M. K.

It is the responsibility of this organization, to which all faculty members ami students belong, to select, plan, and promote those activities which will best provide for continued development of the basic professional students. The organization also aims to maintain high standards for the school and to uphold ideals for the nursing profession. Many of the social functions sponsored by the association have, through student response, become traditional. The special parties held at Halloween, at Christmas time and on St. Patrick s Day. now hold a very definite place in the total program. A Musicale, followed by a Mother-Daughter reception, was held in February, and in April the Spring Party was given for all student nurses within the Medical Center. In May the student body again participated in the traditional Florence Nightingale Memorial Service held at Heinz Chapel. The various functions held by the Association throughout the year each contributed toward making the program of the School more significant to the students in the basic professional program. 199 Alpha Tau Delta, professional nursing sorority, is the- oulv one of its kind on campus. It has just completed its third year of active life at Pitt. Recently Alpha Tau Delta was accepted in to the National Professional Pnnhellenie Association 'Flic pur|H� e of the organization is to foster friendship among college women in the nursing field. Qualifications for students who have reached a junior status in either the basic or advanced program are on the basis of scholarship, practicability, and sociability. These three qualities get the nurses’ votes for future profes-ional success. Alpha 'Fan Delta socializes in social affairs that will make their busy nurses forget stiff white uniforms and give them their well-earned relaxation. The social season Itcgail their pledge parties followed by the initiation dinner. Finally to end the social season, the girls danced at their Spring Formal.

Jackson, Vice-President K. (•. Mkiskl, Secretary-Treasurer Omioron Kappa I’psilon, national scholastic honor society for students of dentistry, is to dentists what Pi Tau Phi is to students in the College. Membership to this scholastic honorary is limited to twelve per cent of the members of the graduating class who rank highest in scholarship for the entire four-year dental course. They must show outstanding character and potential qualities for future professional growth and attainment. Members are chosen for their abilities to grow in dentistry and to capably take their place as valued members of the community in which they practice. The highlight of the year comes on Dental Alumni Day, when those young men and women who have l een chosen by the faculty for tapping into Omicron Kappa Upsilon are given their keys and certificates of membership. On that day, the entire senior class is the guest of the faculty, and the names of the honored students are read. Faculty members, only, remain active members; for they alone have powers of election to the organization. The student members remain members without the voting powers. Omicron Kappa Upsilon was founded in 1914. NY hen Alpha chapter decided to expand in 1916. Beta chapter at the I’niversity of Pittsburgh was formed. Since that time, thirty-six chapters have l een established throughout the country to maintain the high professional and academic standards of the whole field of dentistry. By maintaining these rigid standards of com| etencc, OKI' has continually brought honor and dignity to the profession it serves. Each year the various chapters of this dental honorary meet in convention. There they talk over organization plans. The convention features talks by prominent dental scientists and technicians on new approaches and techniques in dentistry. 202 Psi Omega, national professional dental fraternity is the grand daddy” of dental fraternities in Pittsburgh. While the Psi Omega was founded forty-six years ago. Xu, our local chapter has been in existence for forty-one years. Psi Omega is a fraternity with a purpose. In this case it is to cultivate the social qualities of its members and to surround each member with friends to whom he can turn for advice and assistance when needed. Besides these aims, the fraternity exerts its influence entirely for the advancement of the dental profession in methods of teaching and practice. Not only are the Psi O's noted for their profession, they have also made a name for themselves in sports and social activities. They have always Ikiti well represented in all intra-mural athletics. Their standing in the dental inter-fraternity play-offs in football, basketball and softball have always been high. List year they won the II.K. Kriesell trophy for their superiority in the interfrater-nitv combined sports program. In the social line, the dents are never too busy to dream up a smash affair at their Chapter House. As usual, the social season was highlighted by the Senior Formal. Numerous house parties and dances as well as Spring picnics rounded out the active Psi () social program. Helping the fraternity along this year was Dr. J. F. McFarland as Deputy Councelor. Dr. McParland gave much time to the fraternity. His leadership has done much to advance the fraternity.

They formed an organization that was destined to keep high the standards of dentistry by inculcating in its men a spirit of real fraternal cooperation toward scientific, ethical and professional progress in the field of dentistry. From this meeting. Delta Sigma Delta has developed into the ohles and largest dental fraternity in the world. Thirty-four chapters arc now located in the various dental schools throughout the country. In addition to this, active graduate chapters are located in every large city. Sigma Chapter was born in February, 11MI8. From this date, the chapter has gone ever forward to much desired heights both scholastically and fraternally. Delta Sigs are continually represented each year in Omicron Kappa Cpsilon. the National Dental Scholastic honorary. But all is not scholastic with the Sigs. The many social functions throughout the entire year formal parties after football games, holiday parties and numerous smokers, attest to this. The higldight of the social season is the spring formal when Sigs and their dates allow the social to take precedence over the academic. For Delta Sigma Delta is a fraternity in the fullest sense of the words. Its fraternal brothers an like real brothers. The Delta Sigs have established a real unity and harmony among themselves by hard work and co-operation. Like in everything, this unbeatable combination works well for the Delta Sigma Delta dental fraternity. Della Sigma Della William Pasternak, Grand Master Anthony K. Perron k.

Sigma Tau is the only meml er of the Association of College Honor Societies to have a chapter on the University of Pittsburgh campus. Men who have reached the level of juniors arc-eligible on the basis of scholarship, practicality, and sociability. These qualities arc those which best give promise of a successful engineering career. Last year was an important one for the Psi chapter of Sigma Tau. The highlight of the year was the national convention held on the campus in the Foster Memorial. Other activities during the year were: a get-acquainted smoker for pledges, a dance at South Park I odge. and an initiation banquet where forty pledges were activated into the group.

( haj el Choir returned from their annual week of rehearsal at Laurel Y ('amp and swung into another year of activity. The choir, a familiar 8| cetaclc in their purple velvet rol es. is rated among the outstanding college choral groups in the country. Dr. Theodore M. Finney organized the group in 1R38 and has heen with the group ever since. In its ten year span, the choir has grown from the preliminary function of singing for services in the Heinz Memorial Chape! to what is now a full schedule of concerts and tours to various cities and towns in this section of the country. However, every few weeks during the school year, members of the choir put aside their music long enough for events such as the guests of Chancellor Fitzgerald. Add to this, private parties given hy the members and it isn’t hard to see why the Heinz CIiu|h-I Choir sing in such perfect harmony. Any undergraduate student in the Cniversity may try out for the choir hy making an ap|M intment with Dr. Finney. After one year of participation, members receive silver keys, and at the end of two years, they are given gold keys. Association with the choir does not stop at graduation however, for there is an active alumni choir that meets every two weeks throughout the school year. JOS Mr. Weiss direct Women's Choral in the Common Boom during Christinas Week. The ‘‘musical elevators” you hear Monday and Wednesday seventh hour are all part of Women's Choral. Since the purpose of the choral group • to foster music among the women of the Cniversity. the organization is one of the busiest on campus. In early Novemltcr. the Choral sang their first program in the Commons Room. With the Christmas season at an early start, the girls joined the Pitt Singers. Men’s Glee Club, and the YMC’A for the annual Christmas Party. Christmas also brought caroling in the halls. Their spring tour took them to Gettysburg. Cham-berslnirg. and Mt. Airy. Women’s Choral is made up of sophomore, junior, and senior women who are selected by audition. The Choral is directed by David Weiss, with Marion Baeslak as accompanist.

Keeping pace with the expansion of events al the I’niversity tliis year, the Men’s (ilee Club inaugurated a program of two concert tours to round out a successful musical season. I'nder the direction of David Weiss, the sixty voice choir has had a prominent place in all school activities. There first public ap|iearance took place at the Iteginning of the year at the Chancellor’s Reception, where In-fore Pitt parents, the Chancellor, and guests, the (dee Club demonstrated the reason for its |M pularity. The Glee Club gave concerts at the Carnegie College Club, the Presbyterian Hospital, and. for its home concert, at Stephen Foster Memorial. In between times, there was time to add to the Christmas season at Pitt by singing carols in the Commons Room and joining Pitt Singers and Women’s Choral for a Christ- mas party that featured Santa Claus as chief guest. The eastern concert tour taken In-tween the fall and spring semesters included stops at Reading, Scranton. and Atlantic City. The western tour was taken in April. Added to the (dee Club as a specialty was the Varsity Quartette. As usual, the real culmination of the year took place at the annual banquet where keys were distributed for outstanding work in music. Officers for the year were as follows: President, Walter J. Fleming: Vice-President, Wayne McCoy: Secretary, John Wilson: Business Manager, James W. Chrissis: Assistant Business Managers, Jerry Krantz, Richard Campbell, and Henry George. 210 Three years ago a group of men and women, mem bers of Women’s C'horal and Men’s Glee Club, formed the Pitt Singers. Although an informal group their abilities were soon displayed at programs presented in the Cniversity and at loeal affairs. These abilities were apparently not to Ik denied for in its second year a budget was provided by the administration. The membership had also grown to thirty-live participants chosen from its elder relatives in the Music Department. Appearanees were well received at such places as Set on Hill and Aspinwall Veteran’s Hospital. This year the membership has increased in strength to forty-two. The outstanding performance of the year was when the group sang with the Men’s Glee Club for the Carnegie College Club. It is hoped that in the future the “Singers” will take many more trips of this tV |K . An attempt has been made to give an opportunity to sing to those who cannot attend the other full time musieal organizations. In view of these developements and an increased budget, a separate | erfonnance is planned. In preparation for this the eighth floor of the Cathedral resounds every Thursday during the fifth hour. The featured soloists for the past year were Ethel M. Childs and Anthony Picci, soprano and tenor respectively. As has been said In-fore the Pitt Singers are “bound to Ik heard and if the same type of interest is shown in the future, there will In little doubt as to the group’s fixation.

The Publications Board is the policy making body of Pitt’s three main publications. The Board is com posed of three Executive Committees: The Pitt News. The Owl. and The Panther. The Executive Committees are made up of the editors and business managers of the three publications, faculty meml ers and students ap|H)inted by Student Congress and Men’s Council. Each Executive Committee holds periodic meetings and discusses the pros and cons of meeting the problems of their publication. Together, as the Publications Board, they discuss recommendations of the Executive Committees. presented to the Board for final decision. This year the Board accomplished a great deal. Some of the major measures were: a committee set up to coordinate the business systems of the three publications; the appointment of the editors and business managers at an earlier date than had been set in past years; a committee to investigate the off-set method of printing in regards to the newspaper and magazine; ami the purchase of a vari-type machine. Along with the major recommendations, many minor measures were instituted in the program for Initter publications. Virginia Pansier: Peggy Evans; Lois Hite. 21$ Aside from the three main publications on Pitt campus, there are handbooks published each year by several of the larger organizations on campus. These handbooks provide freshmen and upper-classmen with information aliout activities and other facts of interest to students at Pitt. During the spring and summer, a staff apf ointed by the Women's Self Government Association writes and edits the women's handbook, the Yade Mecum, that isdistributed to all women students at fall registra-t ion. This l ook serves as a guide, not only for freshmen, but for upjKT-elass women as well, to all phases of student life. Kditor for this year’s Yade Mecum was Peggy Evans, and the meml crs of her stair wcreGinny Pansier, Ixris Hite, and Jayne Bibby. Men’s Council publishes a similar handbook, the Compass, for men students each September. The editor is appointed by tin- Dean of Men and this year's editor of the Compass was Maurice S. IIcpps. Two other handliooks published by campus organizations are the Interfrateruitv and Panhellenic handbooks. These booklets, put out by Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Association, contain information altout the social fraternities and sororities at Pitt. Includes! in these handbooks are the histories, officers, active members, and official emblems of the fraternities and sororities. Interfraternity Council publishes its handbook in the fall.

IICIMI II First thing on the 1948-49 calendar, the Y’s Freshman Camp was probably the longest-remembered event of the year for many Pitt men. freshmen and upperclassmen alike. Held at Camp Kon-O-Kwee, near Zelien-ople, l’a.. the weekend served as an introduction to Pitt student leaders and faculty advisors for the 100-odd freshmen who attended. For the freshmen, the line to the bus was just a continuation of the registration line. At the Camp, they piled otF. sat around while their living quarters were assigned, then filled in the rest of the afternoon with softball games and swimming. Their first night was the occasion for meeting advisors from the student body and faculty, as each counselor outlined his particular function at Pitt. Highlight of tin- evening was Dr. John M. Ferguson’s dissertation on 'Mv 21 Years at Pitt.’ “Fergie” was well on his way to becoming a tradition with another class of Pittites. Before the evening ended, the frosli cam|K rs had learne l most of the football songs and cheers for the coming grid season. Between sports events Saturday, the boys prepared skits and sing teams for inter-school competition in the evening’s program. Counselors, too, turned in some fine entertainment. Sunday morning after church services, the new men got their final pep talk on Pitt, pitted their 'All Stars’ against the counselors in a softball game. then piled on the buses to go from 'Camp to Campus’ and a new life at the university.

Ellsworth Center, celebrating its second year of existence, has become practically a school in itself, self-sufficient in everything but female companionship. With its own labs, libraries, and Tuck Shop, Bovs’ Town depends on Pitt sororities and the city’s other two 11011-coed institutions for social life. The “forgotten men” seem to be getting along well, however, and Director Viers W. Adams sees a great future for Pitt’s newest offspring.

These awards were presented for the first time last year to give re-cognition to the l est players for their sportsmanship, playing, ami ability to coojKTate with their fellow-players. The athletes whose pictures are on this page have Ih-cii selected for this award by their teammates in a secret, mailed-in ballot conducted by the Sports Staff of the Owl. Bill McPeak A four year great at Pitt. Hill was acknowledged by his teammates as their top man for the second year in succession. He was the true spark of the 11)48 surprise Panthers at his terminal post and played a magnificent game on offense and defense alike. Had it not Hill M IVak. FootU.ll lieen for the Dark Age of athletics at Pitt during the first three of McPeak’s four years in collegiate football, he would very likely have Ih-cii the choice on many an All American squad. All at Pitt wish Hill the greatest of success in his newly chosen field. Pro football. Clarence Doak In the first Most Valuable Player selection the track team has participated in. Clarence Doak was elected top man by his teammates. An outstanding track man for the past few years. Doak was undefeated in the low hurdles in 1948. Taking over a s|M t on the shuttle hurdle team, a position he never had run before. Doak led the team to a first place in the Penn Relays of 1948. He is one of the holders of the worlds record for the fifty yard indoor low hurdles. A true gentleman and an outstanding athlete Doak has often demonstrated his fine spirit by teaching track novices in the low hurdles. 242 Clarcm-e Doak. Track Plaver Awards Dick IVtro, Sv imtiiinK Sammy David — Trut fairness and sportsmanship was shown by Dr. Carlson's charges when they picked Sammy and Dodo as equally deserving of the Most Valuable Basketball Crown. Individually they were great, together they were unbeatable. Neither had a specialty, they Sammy David. Bu«kct Ki!l Dick IVtro Following in the apparent spirit of selection the swim souad saw fit to also select a man who has been outstanding since his freshman year as their Most Valuable. Dick IVtro came to I’itt heralded as one of the best A.A.C. competitors the district has ever seen, lb-proved his notices by aiding coach (irady turn out a outstanding squad for the past two years. Dick is equally at home in the free style events as he is in the MO relay. His speciality, however is the free style in which he aims for the record times. Dodo ('.auterna set up plays and scored the points. Sammy broke the all time scoring record for a single season and Dodo holds the Stadium scoring record for one game. Thus it was significant that two great Pitt athletes were considered equal by the men who know them best.

Smarting from a year of frequent football setbacks and even more frequent leaks from the various appointed investigating committees, the Faculty Committee on Athletics caused the entire city of Pittsburgh to buzz by announcing the selection of Captain Tom Hamilton of the I'nited States Naval Academy as its choice for the office of Athletic Director. This announcement came in the wake of an exceptionally successful grid season and assured all connected with the I'niver-sitv that Pitt was once again climbing to great peaks in the athletic world. On February 1, Mister Hamilton Itcgan his duties with the University and started to fulfill the many miracles outlined by the City newspapers in their pre-appointment stories. Among his renovations were the complete reorganization of the Physical Education Department, establishment of new contacts with the nations football attractions, and presentation of attractive offers to the district high school s| orts leaders, for it was the popular belief that by the ap|M intment of a man of Hamilton’s calibre to the head sjxirts |x st. the Administration had conceded to the fact that great athletic teams produce a great institution. Perhaps the happiest person at the announcement of the appointment of Hamilton was Frank Carver, former Sports Publicity Director. Acting Athletic Director and present (iraduate Manager of Athletics.

An abbreviated season plus the late arrival of Spring provided the Panthers with their most disappointing season in recent years. A lack of indoor practice facilities hampered the squad considerably and as a result, opening day found Penn State dropping the Pitts 2-1. The next day it was the Lions again 14-8, while a week later, it took Juanita 15 innings to eke out a 8-2 victory. In rapid succession the home nine was set back by Geneva 9-5 and Penn State 18-7. but bounced back to defeat State in extra innings 4-8. M Sterling's men made it two in a row by defeating Y and J but West Virginia broke up the streak with an 11-4 victory.

Against Miami I’niversiity of Ohio, Pitt lost three first place standing out of fifteen events. Penn State the roughest foe on the trackmen’s schedule, took ten first place standings to Pitt’s five. At the West Point Relays, Pitt captured first place in the broad jump with Douglas going 22 feet 11 inches. Doak captured second place in the 80 yard hurdles and Douglas related for the Blue and Gold by coning in third in the 00 yard dash. In the outdoor Penn Relays.

Even though the Lions broke the twoyear Panther win streak Pitt amassed 878 |� oints in eight meets to 204 rung up by the opposition. The season opened with an overwhelming victory over Allegheny. At Meadvillc. the Panthers set two |)ool records. The new marks were in the 60 yard free style and the 440 yard free style relay. The three succeeding meets brought the Panther win streak to ten. The tenth meet, at Slippery Rock, resulted in the establishment of another pool record. The Pitt 4(H) yard free style relay team, sparked by Dick Petro, pared two-tenths of a second off the old mark. Another pool record fell as Dick Petro trimmed the 100 yard free style mark to 5:80. a highlight of the Westminster contest. Kenyon went the way of the vanquished as the Panthers rode a victory wave of twelve straight.

It was a decidedly better showing than that of the no win team of 11)47-48. The Panthers were solidly bumped by Penn State in the season opener and dropped matches to Army and Cornell on their eastern swing. Locally they notched two easy wins over W and J, while dropping close matches to West Virginia and Juanita. Sparkling play was turned in by Mihocko, Daker and Mohr. The Pitt golfers feel that they have gotten the bad ones out of their systems and with two years experience plus the return of seasoned players, plan to win cm all in '49. J. Kumiiu-l mid S. Martin of tile ’47-’48 twin Tennis Wet weather and a lack of adequate practice facilities an old Pitt nemesis proved to be a stumbling block to Panther nctmen during the 1948 season. Bright spots in an otherwise mediocre year were the outstanding singles play of Stan Weil and the doubles play of the Weil-Schoenberger combination. Pitt opened the season with a fi-3 setback at the hands of West Virginia and was defeated following weeks by Western Reserve and Penn State. The net-men hit their stride late in the season by defeating city rivals Carnegie Tech 7-2. Meeting W and J on home grounds the following week, the Pitt men came away on the short end of a (5 - 2 score. In their second meeting with West Virginia the Panther team hit the victory column again, winning 8 singles and 8 doubles to take the match (� - 3. The season was brought a close with a 0 - 3 loss to W and J and a 0 - 3 loss to Allegheny. The outlook for the 1949 season is considerably brighter for Pitt tennis fans. Two years experience and the promise of more adequate practice facilities should make a l ctter style of play. 264 K. Horn and It. Mason take practice swings on the Cathedral lawn. Rifle Once again the Pitt rifle team is on it's way to a great season. Under the able coaching of Sergeant Watts Shahlowski and with Captain John Kelley as officer in charge, this years team bids fair to match the fine records run up in the last four years. With the season almost over the team has won three fourths of their postal meets against the toughest competition in the country. In the annual Marine match in Maryland, Pitt placed twelfth in a field of fourteen competitors. Although the results of the NR A sectional meet have not yet been published, the Panthers have received an invitation to the National Intercollegiate Meet which indicates a good showing in the NRA meet. In the newly formed Intra-City Intercollegiate Rifle league Pitt scored victories over both Tech and Duquesne. The boys are confident of winning the team trophy andJ individual brassards that will go to the winner. Raymond Hixson, winner of last years Club Members Medal and 'aptain of this year’s squad is the team high scorer. Tin- reload l efore the fire.

The year’s plans called for football, trawling, badminton, basketball, wrestling, volleyball, ping-pong, track, swimming and softball. After a nip and tuck race the underdog Phi Gamma Delta knocked over last years champions PiKA to take the IF touch football championship. They in turn were trounced by the Locals, winners in the Independent league. In the third annual inter-school playoff the locals went down to defeat before the Tech IM champs. In another hot race the two trawling leagues were burning up the alleys. SAK proved the best of the independent league. In Badminton the Phi Gams again scored out PiKA to take first place honors. Intra-mural wrestling was inaugrated this year with Capelli, Hutchens, Abraham, Skirpan, Thomas and Supinski taking the honors in their respective weight fields. As the Owl went to Press an exciting basketball season was nearing its climax. The Educators, composed of varsity football players were as usual leading their league. In the fraternity loop the PiK.Vs, Phi Gams, Phi Kps and Theta Chi were set for the play-off. Despite the curtailing of some events because of the loss of Ellsworth field for IM competition.

Square dancing, volleyball, basketball tournaments, modern dancing and swimming are on the schedule of the Phys Ed classes. These classes meet teams from Mt. Mercy. PCW, and Carnegie Tech in inter-school games. The Prominaders Club and the Orchesis Club specialize in the teaching of square dancing and modern dancing. Another organization open to Pitt women is the Women’s Athletic Association. The only requirement for membership is that the girl must have completed a full year term. This year’s WAA program has been very successful. It began with a cook-out in Panther Hollow, followed by badmington and archery competitions. Basketball, volleyball, swimming and Itowling proved popular during the winter months. Picnics and dances helped to complete the circle of events. The officers for the year were: President.

Interfraternity Fraternities. . The song that goes, “oh, its great my boys to be a Greek!“ doesn’t apply to all of us. Only some of us arc fraternity men or sorority women; some of us would like to be and arc not; some of us are and would like not to be. But endorse or discredit. we all know what fraternities mean on campus. They almost seem to be campus: until DeSoto Hall, their houses have been the only dorms; except for Military Bails, their dances are the biggest successes; aside from a few. the campus leaders are Greeks; discounting exceptions, their close-knit fellowship is unexcelled. Good and bad, they characterize the t'niversity. They are miniatures of its work, its stubbornness, its play, its progress. 272 Panhcllenic Association Sororities....... Panhellenic Council Panhellenic Council is made up of all the sororities on campus, each sorority represented by two members. Panhel irons out the perplexities of rushing and other sorority problems, and in addition to that sponsors an an educational and social program as a service to all undergraduate women. It tries to establish unity among all the women students at the University. The year started off with the always impressive Panhellenic Reception for Freshmen women which was held in Commons Room. This year the combining of Panhellenic and Inter-Fraternity Sings into one Greek Sing was a complete success. This sing gives an opportunity for friendly coni| etition between the sororities. Panhellenic Hall, the traditionally formal dunce of the sororities was a better success even than those in the past. On Tap Day the Panhellenic Scholarships and the scholarship were awrded. With the wholehearted support of the sororities on campus. Panhel will always have bigger and letter things to look forward to in the years to come. Pal Hartman President, Pat Hartman Vice-President.

Besides holding campus offices and working in mny school organizations, the girls kept in the social limelight with a full schedule of activities. The girls entertained at informal Halloween and Thanksgiving dances, got out their formals for the annual Black and White Diamond Ball at the Jacktown Hotel and the Spring Formal at the house, and in their spare time shined their first place float parade cup. On May 15th Founder’s Day Banquet was held at the I'niversity Club, and another year was coming to an end. But even after the year was all over, they remembered their Seniors. Helen Hose Poole wearing her shining Mortar Board Pin, l.ucile Augustine carrying a dog-eared mentor notebook. Dot Smith and Pat O’Connell comparing the Senior Class and Sorority gavels. Norma Blosser writing her new name Norma Robinson, and Doris Dudley and Kay Ridge making up Secretaries re| orts for Kappa Phi and Phi Sigma Alpha. Alpha Delta Pi sorority, as the first secret sisterhood for college women, appropriately enough had its birthplace at Wesleyan Female College which is the oldest women’s college in the world and the first of such institutions to grant academic degrees to women. From the day of its founding, the sorority has been bound by the covenant that no girl could l c taken into membership save“such as may commend themselves for their intellectual and moral worth dignity of character and propriety of department.” On these foundations Alpha Delta Pi looks forward to the future.

It was a big year for A E Phi but nothing could sway Dean Sally Baer from her decision that “Next year will be even bigger.” It will be rather diflieult to beat the annual A E Phi fashion show held at Hotel Webster Hall, the profits of which went to the United Jewish Fund. Also, their spring formal at the Westmoreland Country Club was “simply lovely” as described bv Bobbie Feldman, scribe, and sub-dean. Renee Shorin. Renee was secretary to Panhellenie Council this year. Tea dances and Iwnefit bridges, informal get-to gethers with the Tech Chapter, the I)eeeml er dance with family and alums in attendance, luncheons and the Senior Breakfast, stood out in the minds of the Seniors as activities which will make the year an unforgettable one for them. Of these Seniors, we find Audrey Westerman. secretary to Student Congress, at one time chairman of the Customs Committee, and active at Pitt since she was a Freshman. Adlvn Ix twin. program chairman, and mcndx r of the Owl Editorial Staff Bea Schneirou, Iris Rosen. Chari Baker, and treasurer. Renee Sheinburg found it ban! to believe that this was their final meeting. The strains of the national hymn of Alpha Kpsilon Phi sorority were dying away. The last meeting had come to a close. The girls were sorrowful. However, they were assured that the future years would bo equally as successful, and that Alpha Kpsilon Phi would always remain a campus force.

Starting things off. we held a tea to hid good-hyc to our retiring House-mother. Mrs. Cooper, and to welcome our new one. Mrs. (ienge. Our next project was the painting and redecorating of our powder-room in the basement: here many riotous evenings were spent as we spread more blue paint through our hair than we put on the walls. Monday nights were filled with dances with the Pitt fraternities and Fireside Chats with our alum advisors and Dean Rush. One week-end is outstanding in Theta memory the week-end we forgot about books and sleep and all went to laurel Ridge. It took a whole week to regain the lost sleep but not one of us regretted it. We returned home to plan our traditional Christmas formal for which we gavly decorated our house with mistletoe and holly. Spring soon came bringing exams but we had our moments of relaxation and fun at our lively Theta picnic and our lovely Spring Formal. We were quite proud of Kitty O'llagan, our vice-president of Panhellenic Council: Flora Diemert. our Student Congress secretary, and Peggie Cochrane, our sophomore president of ( vens. But all too soon the school year closed and regretfully we bid goodbye to each other. So the Theta kite continues it flight on year number eight. Kighty years of progress.

A havride. candy party, and a Christmas party for orphans were the first activities of the new sorority. The high-lights of the social season were the semi-formal dance held in January at the Dormont New Century Club, and the Founders’ Day Banquet in February. Social Chairman, Marie Muncc, and her committee of Dorothy Ohlsson and Angie Bieno are planing for bigger and better events in the future. As the first official rushing party was a great success. Olga Ivanowski, rushing chairman is to Ik- congratulated along with Helen Conway and Agnes Iglar. They are working hard making plans and getting ideas for the coming rushing parties. Klaine Morgan is the jovial K Dell who is always giving a friendly nod or making music and laughter. The Kappa Delta Phi’s are well on their way to becoming one of the outstanding sororities on campus with one thought in mind—going national. Almost as much business is handled by the Kappa Delta Phi girls as at the New York Stock Exchange. There are plans for parties, cramming for tests, writing of papers, sipping of cokes, and an occasional political discussion. It is truly hard to find a more active group than the K. Delts. We have already had one successful year. Activities and scholarship with lots of fun blended in will make the rest even l etter. h'ir i rotr: B. (i. Blank; A. Bieno: I). Bmgjpir .

A slightly smaller frat plus a younger age set lias taken over where it left off in 11)41. Also significant of a new regime is the athletic prowess Delts have established this year. Higher standings in all In-tcr-Kraternity trophy race events has given confidence to the chapter that new cups and trophvs will accompany the old ones at the 4712 Bayard Street shelter. Above all spirit has hcl| cd move the fraternity closer together not only in athletics, but also scholastically and socially. The men at Gammu Sigma this year, as in the past, met their obligations to the school. We followed the team to Western Reserve and victory, and we saw it lose to Ohio State, but our faith held on for the eventual successful season. No matter what the event. Delts supported it or acted to see it a successful ven- ture. The Frat's achievements in ’48 ami ’49 came as a response from a solid cooperating unit rather than from any individuals. Socially shaking within our unit, our calendar was little less than terrific. The Winter Formal at South Hills spelled fame for the beautiful Queen of Delta we crowned there.

Hut 1946 meant the recovery of Delta Sig. Reestablished as Omega chapter of a fraternity had its beginning at City College of New York in 1889. the local chapter has struggled successfully to be a fraternity in the post-war sense. But it has two inspirations to look to, two occurrences indelible in the minds of the participants. Initation was held for the first post-war Delta Sigs at their Penn State house. The other most unforgettable characteristic I’ve seen” was the handing of the new charter by National President Stephen Kuan to local president in the candlelight of the initiation banquet hall. The past year saw the Delta Sigs joining the fraternity way of life at Pitt. Under the leadership of President Purdy the Delta Sigs gave a show that had Carnival visitors standing in line outside the biggest tent on the midway. The show was such an all around success that Dells Sigs will go into show biz in a big way with each succeeding Carnival. The athletic teams directed by co-managers Hcll-mer and Papsch snapped out their slump and came through with some hard fought victories. This was a pleasant change for the warriors of the Green and White. Hill Sausscr in addition to being the watchdog of the treasury served as Social Chairman of Inter-Fraternity Coucil. All the Creeks at Pitt including his brother Delta Sigs say well done Bill, and thank you for a grand social program. Congratulations too. to Charley Yost who was awarded a convcted gold P for his work on Pitt’s gridiron eleven. These men have indeed learned the meaning of true friendship and brotherhood.

In 1941 the fraternity was incorporated under the laws of the state of Massachusetts. Honorary memlrership is provided for men who are deserving of some recognition by the fraternity I e-cause of interest they have taken in it or in one of its chapters; and who in others ways would be eligible by l� eing unufliliatcd with any other fraternity and by being themselves college graduates. A national endowment fund has l een provided to establish the national finances on a permanent basis; and to help chapters purchase or build chapter homes. Xi Chapter of Kappa Xu Fraternity returns after having left the campus during the depression. With the same spirit of fraternalism. good sportsmanship, and high scholarship that brought fame to Kappa Xu during the roaring ’40s. the Chapter was reactivated by a pilot class of fourteen pledges on Xovember 13. 1047. During the next twelve months the Chapter was formally initiated, accepted into Inter-fraternity Council, and offered a fraternity home by its Graduate Club. With much fraternity enthusiasm, the Chapter increased its membersliip to forty-three actives and pledges, unofficially attained the highest scholastic standing on campus, and remodeled the fraternity home which will l e formally opened during 1049. Under the guidance of its active Alumni the Chapter is well on the road back to the position it held only a few short years ago.

Lamhila Clii Alpha Omega Alpha Pi, a local fraternity at the University of Pittsburgh, became the Gamma Epsilon eta of Lambda Chi Alpha in 1919. The National Fraternity was founded at Boston University, in November of 1909. Now in its thirty-ninth year, and numbering over one hundred and twenty chapters. lambda Chi is one of the largest of the Greek letter social fraternities. Growth characterized the year 1948 at laimbda Chi Alpha. Rising rapidly from war-time inactivity, after reactivation in December of 1946. the Cross and Crescent men weathered well the growing pains of a healthy fraternity and assumed a well earned position on campus. The biggest addition to Gumma Epsilon s stock was their acquisition of a house in May. not far from the Cathedral of learning. After a summer of com- plete remodeling and redecorating, the shelter became the center of much social activity in time for the football season. Bob Rossel. the chapter secretary, set off the main room with a striking full-length mural of the lambda Chi coat of arms. Among the furnishing, a full sized grand piano is the pride of all. and is often surrounded by the five Heinz Chapel Choir regulars. Elmer Metz. Bert Nevin, Bob Rossel. Ralph Rose and Don Briggs. While the house occupied most of their time this year, the Lambda Chi’s also fielded dangerous teams in all intramural sports and activities and maintained a full social calender. One of the highlights of the year was the formation of the Mother's club. Graduating this year is Sam Simpson, president of the fraternity and Karl Newman and A1 Capozzi. These men have the satisfaction of knowing they served well in a fine fraternity during their college years. ounded at Boston University. Boston.

Since that momentous day a century ago. at Miami University. Oxford. Ohio, where six undergraduates organized Phi Delta Theta, this great fraternity has grown into one of the most powerful in the Greek world. Today in a world full of changing ideas and radical differences, there are not too many static elements around. One of these may Ik found however in the house at $55 N. Dithridge. Here the air of friendliness and brotherhood that men will always search for and appreciate abounds. This year, our Fraternity celebrated it’s first century of existence. The centennial convention, held at Miami University. Oxford, Ohio was a gala week-long affair. Brothers Herrington and Grigsby as delegate and alternate attended ami returned with many fine tales for the first meeting in Septeml� er. The 11)48 school year commenced with its usual fervor ami every Phi Delt was a part of it. Much of this energy was consumed in a house improvements campaign which brought about a complete remodeling of the house. The '48 year also found this energy a spirit being projected elsewhere. On the football field. Portlier Fisher and I’heiheia. Mike Boldin were part of one of Pitt’s best football teams. Phi Delts may also Ik found in every other part of the University. They range from College freshmen to Seniors in Medical School. Culture, friendship and sound learning are our principles—in the chapter house and as parts of the rest of the world.

Pill 4� amma IMla Brothers of Phi Gamma IVIta. known the country over as Fiji , lielieve that through intimate fraternity life, the college man has an opj ort unity to develop his finest |iialitics. It was with this view in mind that the fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta was founded one hundred years ago at what is now Washington ami Jefferson College. Today there exist seventy-four chapters in thirty-two states ami two Canadian Provinces all of which were represented at the huge centennial celebration held last summer here in Pittsburgh. Phi Gamma Delta started its year in a big way with plans to make this year the best we've had at Pitt. Through the efforts of our Board of Governors, these plans liecame a reality. Our spirit led the fraternity through a year that will long Ik remembered by those brothers who graduated in June. Our athletic calendar was followed with the full support of every Fiji. The spirit of the boys ran wild last year at the football, basketball, and softball games. The vigor of the fraternity was again proved at the Spring Festival when all the brothers worked harder than ever to make Phi Gamma Delta stand out altove the others. With the winter formal at Kdgcwood Country Club, miriad house dances, and that ever important Spring Formal, we still had time to work in a little study. Parties and dances made the weekends something to look forward to and occasional tea dances interrupted and brightened the long school week. At the close of the year the Fiji’s all got together to celebrate a successful year with a big picnic and party at North Park. 'resident: John R. Snaman Secretary: Donaij McGixnks Treasurer: DraN L.

I i Laminin Phi The big question this year for the Pi Lams was whet her to get t heir house or t hemselves plastered. The boys at North Dithridge chose the latter. They really had something to show for their choice by early December. The old chapter home emerged from a six month face lifting as the first thoroughly modern fraternity house on campus. Lots of the fun of the old days was gone. There could be no more water battles with cascades flowing down the back stairways, and no more violent dc-dunk-ing sessions in the second floor shower. Hut the I’i I ams now had a showplace. Gene Kline took office as president ami somehow found time to get engaged too. Pledge |K� licv was etched in letters of blood by Tito Braunstcin. while Jim ’oo|x r cracked the whip over the unfort unate youngsters. With no formal accounting behind him. engineer Howie Hampton continued his unceasing wrestling bout with the books. John Schnapp. Mort Ix rner and Bob Silberstein juggled varsity track, basketball and tennis respectively with heavy activity slates, while Bob Myers also handled a difficult double job involving Pitt News layout and the house manager’s chores. And. of course, there was the sentimental journey which the pledge class arranged for A1 Mundel. Pi Laminin Phi was founded at Yale University by a group of undergraduates of various faiths with the chief purpose of eliminating what they considered undue prejudice ami sectarianism in American colleges. From that wholesome spirit of organization. Pi I amlxla Phi has grown from a fraternity made of men in nine different colleges to the truly national Pi l unlnla Phi of today.

With a star studded social calendar, a newly remodeled basement, and powerful athletic teams. Sigma Alpha Epsilon completed one of it most successful seasons. Highlights of the social calendar were the Winter Formal at the Churchhill Country Club, the Christmas Party for the Orphans, co-sponsored by the Kappas, and the Spring Formal.

The Sammies of Psi are especially prom! of obtaining a house on eampus and have spent the greater part of the year redecorating the premises. The first pur|� osc is to provide a home at Pitt for the fellows from out of town. But the Sammies wish to extend the invitation to the students of the University to feel free to drop in and get acquainted. After all, Psi chapter believes that a fraternity is just one of the many functions of the University of Pittsburgh and if in any small way or manner they can help materially towards the future of our school, it is definitely time well spent. The prime puipose of the organization is to continue to grow and better itself so that it may aid the University in its expansion plan. Alma Mater always will come first and it is the aim of Pitt chapter of SAM that they play an active part in the growth of our university. The big thing about a fraternity seems to be that a group of individual fellows can act collectively. All fraternities and organizations have that power and SAM wishes to use it in the manner that will benefit the students and school most. The chapter wishes to thank all those who have made it possible to put SAM back on top after the war. and appreciates the consideration and aid of the University and its students.

The Stray Greek Club was founded at the I niver-sity of Pittsburgh in the fall of 1B47. Its purpose is to provide fraternity life and activities for transfer students who are already members of (ireck letter social fraternities and do not have chapters on campus. We feel justly proud that in the two short years of our existence, we have been recognized by our school and the Inter-Fraternity Council. W’c are at present the only organization of this ty|x- on any American College campus. Inasmuch as we hold the distinction of being the first such club on the records of the National Inter-Fraternitv Council, our official name has been designated as the Alpha Chapter of the Stray Greek Club of the I'niversitv of Pittsburgh. In passing we must mention just a few of the names of those men who have been of particular aid to our club. Mr. Ned McIntosh of the Office of the Dean of Men has helped the Stray Greeks become a full fledged fraternity. A real Stray Greek, one of our faculty advisors Dr. Ferguson, a Phi Kappa Psi from Columbia I'nivcrsity has l ccn a constant source of encouragement. Dr. Ted Parker, our other faculty advisor, has proved to Ik a real friend in time of need. We have l ccn active in every phase of campus life. Our teams made their presence felt in the Inter-Fraternity intramural program. Our individual athletes include such men as Jim Musgovc. Bob Walton. Bill Kraybill. Bill Braxlcy. Art Gittins, Walt Cffelraan, Jim McCune, Paul Young, and many others. Tom Ryan was our first president and representative to Inter-Fraternitv Council. Mike Kadar. our second president was active in the Inter Fraternity Council. Jim Musgovc, our current president, is not only a member of IF. but also the clubs most outstanding athlete. Our social activities have been many and varied. This year our first Formal was a great success. This is our first time in the “OWL”. We are proud of our past and hopeful for our future. 34 ♦ Founded: 1946. University of Pittsburgh, Pgh., Pa. Colors: Blue and Gold Flower: Carnation Pres.

Their ritual embraced all that was fine, manly, and upright in the inspiring code of the military school of which they were a part. Two years ago. six men of Alpha Beta Chapter instigated the return of TL“ta Chi to Pitt. Within that time.

Under the direction of Dave Phillips Fall rushing was a great success. The rushees were entertained by a Monte Carlo Night, a smoker, and OX-Ranch Dance, and a dance to close out the week. Other social activities included a dance after the Notre Dame football game, a hay-ride, tea dances, and picnics. At the tea dances a band, made up of Theta Chi’s, were present to take the place of the usual jukc-l� ox. It will be a long time until the graduated Brothers will forget the house on Bayard Street.

It was the first intercollegiate Greek Ix-tter fraternity in the United States established for negro college men. The fraternity grew out of a Social Study Club formed by seven students at Cornell and now lxiasts of one hundred and eleven active chapters, one of which is located in London. Omicron chapter was forced to go inactive up to 1947 due to the war. Reactivated. the fraternity now has forty active members. During the past year Alpha Phi Alpha has been putting all emphasis on its new Fraternity House at .‘1046 Centre Avenue. The Executive Tribunal, consisting of President Wilbert Whitsett.

Alpha Phi Holla Evcryliody is excited about the prospect of an A.I . I), frat house on the Pitt campus. Our hopes for a house were raised a couple of times before and it ended up that we were just disappointed: but now. the reawakening of the Pittsburgh Alumni and a new policy of the National Office make a solid foundation for our new hopes. The outlook is so good that the up| erclassmen. especially the Seniors, bewail the fact that they might not Im around to live in it: but, on the other hand, the younger brothers are making plans already. After this graduation, Ralph Lihcrati, the Prez. will no longer he on the verge of apoplexy in seeing that everything is in order and that everybody, especially Larry, is doing his job. Clyde Tommelleo, moneybags” for short, will no longer hound us for dues. You see, they’re both leaving us this year.

The new brothers, initiated Dec. 1948. are still uneasy when Tony Latona, a transfer from Temple, is around. It was his fiendish little mind that made life miserable for them for a week or so. The night of the initiation confirmed the fact that]Tony Marsico can’t sing and also that the brothers from the Tech and Duquesnc chapters, whom we invited, have enormous appetites. The most popular guy that night was Joe Frangona—he laughed heartily at everybody's jokes, even Bill Cavalcante’s (our little Bob Mope because of his nose only.) All in all. we all feel that the year was a good one. A lot was done and a lot wasn’t .but things are moving We hate to see the graduating brothers go. we still need them as actives but we know that as Alumni brothers they will still be pitching for Alpha Phi Delta at Pitt.

During these years the chapter has taken an active and leading part in all campus activities. Weathering the years of depression and war has given the chapter a solid background of faithful alumni and friends. The brothers of Phi Kappa, who spent their last year at Pitt, graduated in the blaze of glory they deserve. These men are the last remnants of those who made a memory and a dream come to life, when they reactivated the chapter following the war. Tremendous progress has lieen made since t hose lean days. Last year the foundation was laid and I’hi Kap took on new life and meaning. A few of these accomplishments were, a completely remodeled playroom, the interior of the house was painted, a drive-way and a twenty eight car Founded at Hope College, Brown University. 1889 Pitt Chapter established in 1923 Colors: Pchplk, Wiiitk and Gold Flower-.

Sigma Pi About two years ago. when officials of the Uni-versity of Pittsburgh were considering additional national fraternities on the campus, they inquired if Sigma Pi would like to re-establish (’hi chapter. Subsequently. with the help of our chapter at Penn State and the many Sigma Pi alumni in Pittsburgh.a group of students were organized an initiated on March 7. 1918, to l eeomc the present Chi Chapter. Sigma Pi was founded at Vincennes I’niversitv. Vincennes. Indiana, on February 2(� , 1897, under the name of Tan Phi Delta, which was changed to Sigma Pi ten years later. Next to the Miami Triad, it is the oldest national fraternity originating west of the Ohio. The purposes of the founders were to organize the most worthy activities, social, athletic and scholarly, and to set a high standard of manliness and college loyalty. Scholarship has always been encouraged ami Founded at Vincennes. University, Vincennes, Indiana. 1897 Pitt Chapter established in 1923 Colors: Lavender and White Flower: La vend a r Orchid is supervised by a national committee, called the Clegg trophy commission to the chapter maintaining tlie highest competitive scholastic standing throughout the year. The commission also awards a prize each year to the pledge in each province who attains the highest scholastic grade. Sigma Pi is. and has been, a meml er of the National Interfraternitv Council. We have a considerable alumni t ody to support and assist the interest and support of alumni. Although only established last March. Sigma Pi is represented in several campus activities. Sigma Pi’s social acitvitics consisted of alumni banquets, dances, smokers, picnics, and other entertainments. Sigma Pi has made an excellent start and in the future will prove worthy of recognition.

In spite of setbacks it found itself in the enviable position of having a powerful influence on campus and a bright outlook for the future. It was this critical year that saw Pi Kappa Alpha’s long house hunt ended, and we ho| c, their long house keeping began. This was augmented by a successful rushing campaign yielding many fine new memlrers and was climaxed bv the rushing dance at lvdgewood Country Club. Many extra-curricular interests have called PiKA’s to leading campus activities. Members of the Pitt band and Pitt Players, chairman of Spring Festival, several members of the varsity football squad, a member of the swimming team, a Y.M.C.A. president, a member of O.D.K., student congress members, officers of Ells- worth Y cabinet, memliers of the debate team, cheerleaders. glee club members, Pitt singers, upper class counselors and last but not least the Pitt Panther, throughout the past year have worn the garnet ami gold. Churchill Yally Country Club was the scene of the winter formal held in January. During that same month the pledges held their traditional “Hard Times” dance for the active members. Indeed the PiKA’s were socially busy bees throughout the past year, interested by a succession of dances, havrides, parties ami stags. Pi Kappa Alpha may not have l een a pioneer fraternity in the full sense of the word, but it was such in a large measure, and is among the oldest of the national fraternities. The past year has l ecn a glorious one for the fraterntiv based on friendship and socialbility. 354 Founded at I'niversity of Virginia, Virginia. 18GS Pitt Chapter established in 1934 Colors: Garnet and 0u Gold Plotter: Li ly-ok-th e-va lley President: Donai.d Wii.dk Vice-President: Tun Okon Secretari : Brewkstkk Kino Treasurer: William Kirby As the end of the month draws near Hon Livingston (left) and Jay Kelt (right) are too short on funds to buy their own newapanor.

A maddening of preparation, a whirl around the dance floor, a boy and girl holding hands, a kiss good night, all and one are Pitt social life.

Each year Student Congress, in addition to keeping the wheels of the regular Pitt activities in smooth working condition, s| onsors a number of dances to provide the school with a basic social program. The dances, one of which this year was an afternoon non-date affair, were planned to provide a form of social activity in which all University students could take part. The afternoon tea dance gave those students from out of town and those who worked at nights a chance to enter into the Pitt social life. Working through a social committee made up of a specified number of its members. Student Congress planned carefully dances that would appeal to the varied tastes and interests of the thousands of Pitt students. These dances enabled students to meet their fellow classmen in an atmosphere other than the usual classroom type of acquaintance. Three evening dances were sponsored by Student Congress this year. Each of these affairs was managed by members of various classes: the freshmen sponsored the Ice Ball, centered around the theme of a “winter wonderland : the sophomores started the season with their Ballot Bounce, very appropriately using the national elections as their central idea for decorations and bids: and the juniors as their annual Junior Prom sponsored the Turkey Twirl, completely atmospheric of Thanksgiving—even to the extent of giving a turkey to the | erson with the winning door prize stub. Although these were called class dances, they were open to any student of the University, and so the purpose of the Student Congress, to foster friendship among all University students, was fulfilled.

During the intermission the eighteen fraternity sweethearts were named and honored with roses by all fraternity men. An other big event of the evening was the presentation of the All-Point Trophy which Jim Greancy. president of Interfraternity Council, gave to the president of Phi Epsilon Pi Fraternity, Bud Shulberg.

'I'he cadets and their dates danced to the music of the famous Benckc band. The ballroom was festooned with the pennants and banners of the Corps of Cadets. The dates received miniature sabers as favors as well as the usual dance program. A new inovation as far as Pitt formal dances are concerned was the giving away of a doorprize. The doorprize this year was a full-sized military sabre. The prize was presented to the winner by Tex Benckc during the intermission. As at every other Military Ball the pledges for Scabbard and Blade, the national honorary military society were tap| cd during a very impressive ceremony. A number of the men that were tapped may choose the Army as their career. The dance was fully planned three months in advance with the exception of the place and the hand. The band was chosen by a poll of the Corps of Cadets. The Cadets were given a choice of Harry James and Tex Beneke. Benekc won by a considerable margin. 'I’ick-ets and sales were held to a minimum this year so that all of those fortunate enough to get hold of a ticket would be insured plenty of dancing room.

With most of the events held right on campus. Spring Festival was the best attended one since the war. Starting off with a streamlined Tap Day on the Cathedral lawn, the festivities moved on a theme of “Pittsburgh Then and Now” through the Float Parade, Tea Dance, Carnival, and Main Ball. The Phi Delts began by copping the Sweepstakes held in Schenley Park, while the Theta Phi Alpha’s won first prize in the Float Parade with their 'Goddess of Steel’ Float. In the Interfraternity track meet. Phi Gamma Delta took first honors. For the first time in many years, the Carnival was held on the main campus, running Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights on the Bellcficld-Forl es corner of the Cathedral lawn. Attendance at the Carnival was jiegged at 8879 people. Some of the attractions that drew this record crowd were the appearance of several King Features cartoonists who dropped in to draw souvenir copies of their own comic strip characters. The 'Mr. Pitt’ contest, a clue-guessing contest, gave lucky Larry Ilerlick, among other things, a 8o0 savings bond, a night at the Carousel, a 1949 Owl. and a year’s subscription to the Panther. Wednesday afternoon saw the 'Three-Quarters Tea Dance’ draw a large crowd to dance and see the liooths representing various stages in Pittsburgh’s history. Wednesday was the first all-Pitt music festival, with all the University choral and instrumental groups participating. Thursday was opening night for Pitt Players’ “Dark of the Moon”. This Kentucky Mountain fantasy drew record crowds for its three-night showing, eliciting praises from all who saw it. including Florence Fisher Parry, drama commentator for The Pittsburgh Press. The Main Ball at West View Park capped the Festival with dancing to Buss Morgan’s Orchestra and the awarding of the various prizes and honors won during the weeks’ events. Highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Miss ‘Panther.’ nominated by the staff of the Pitt Panther and elected by the students who attended the Carnival. Mayor David Lawrence crowned Marilyn Oakes as the first ‘popularity’ queen elected on campus in some years.

Campus organizations had put months into the planning of float themes, sideshows, and concessions; fraternity and sorority house backyards bloomed with crepe paper creations that were soon transplanted to the campus to compete for float honors and cash customers. By day t he campus rang with the sounds of hammers and saws: at night it rocked to the hoarse cries of barkers and the laughter of the crowds. Mayor Lawrence and Pa Pitt helped review and judge the Float Parade and a trioof cartoonist ists showed up to add to the fun of the,Carnival.i Tap Day saw another name added to ODK Walk as Franklin Blackstone topped four years of campus leadership with the coveted honorary award. Months of suspense ended as Barbara Schropp and Ignore Mussoff were announced as Senior Queen and Alma Mater. The Owl Hall of Fame o|)cnod its doors to another group of honored students, while the Dipping of the Spoon marked the choice of Junior ami Senior Worthies. ‘am-pus honoraries tapped new members as Tap Day came to a close.

PITTSBURGH, PA. Fine Printing and Lithography C on cj ra tulationd My heartiest congratulations to the young men and women graduates from the University of Pittsburgh. To go to school in America, where anyone who wants it can have a sound and useful education, is indeed a priceless privilege. And when school days are over, to work at a job of your own choice; to take part in the activities of the community where you live; to choose your government representatives, freely and without coercion, in the security of the voting booth; to have maximum enjoyment of your rights and privileges so long as you do not infringe on the rights and privileges of your neighbor; to worship God as you please; to express your views without fear; to meet freely with your friends and neighbors for the discussion of problems of mutual interest; to go where you want when you want; those are some of the many privileges that go with being an American. But we must never forget that with these privileges goes a responsibility the responsibility of keeping America free—and this is a challenge to every one of you. It is only by keeping America free that we can safeguard the dignity of the individual American and his privelege of living the way he wants to. The future stretches before you. What you make of it is in your own hands. If I were asked to summarize my advice in a few words, I would say, Think for yourself—do not abdicate your right to make your own decisions to some self-seeking demagogues or power-hungry despots. My best wishes to you all. 401 BEN MOREELL, President JONES LAUGHLIN STEEL CORPORATION STUDENT BOOK EXCHANGE 3811 FIFTH AVENUE . PITTSBURGH 13. PA.

They have stayed up till all hours of the night working for the l� ook: they have cut classes for it: they have given up social events for it: they Ixdittle it, hate it, curse it. leave it: only to return to it. It's not printers ink in their blood. hut the knowledge that there is something that they can do lx-tter than anyone else, something that will not lx complete if they are not there to do it. To adequately express my appreciation to the people who have made this lxx k |x� ssihle is not easy, so I will simply extend my sincerest gartitude to every memlier of this year’s editorial and business staffs. To these people I extend a particular thank you”: Hon Fuiik. who sparked the sale of the lxx� k with a barrage of posters that t x� k a great deal of work: planned layouts: cut innumerable glossies: turned out paste ups en masse: all. with an appropriate remark for each tedious job that made them seem less like work. Renee Fkikdman. a transfer student from Purdue Cniversity. who immediately Ixrcame orientated with the Owl staff: turned out snappy layouts that did not need revision: helped with pasteups, introdueing a new method: always ready to help whenever needed. Jayne Bibhy. who did the majority of tfie photography, sacrificing time and sleep: who could lx- depended u|x n to meet appointments: took the uninteresting assignments: did a lot of necessary contacting of groups and people over and above her duty; came thru on last minute assignments. To a good friend whose contribution to the book is immeasurable. I can only say again, thanks Jayne.” Clem I. uki . who helped plan the breakdown and makeup of the Division pages of the lxx� k: photographed and printed the Division pages in that special way I liked: stayed late to help with pasteups and proportioning of pictures and joined the Editor in a mid-night brew. Fuiha Dikmkkt. who turned out the Women’s Organization writeups in record time; did a great deal of miscellaneous typing that had to be done in a limited time: whose smile ami willingness to work when she already had a lot to do kept me going through trying times. Scotty and Seats Gahdnkk. who always had the welcome mat out at their home and cool refreshments ready for a tired Editor; Scotty who paraded about the stadium during football games dressed in tux and Owl head, to publicize the New ‘49 Owl”: to both of you I say “thanks.” LaRue Moss. Jean Mostollek, Walter Thompson, who helped me inadvertently to produce this year book. To LaHck. who introduced me to the Owl: to Jean, who fostered my love for the book and the work, whom I shall never forget: to Wai.t. who tried to warn me of what I was getting into when I went out for the Editorship: at the time, little did I know what the job entailed, but now, well pleased with my decision. I extend my sincere gratitude to all of you for your friendship. Mr. Pacl Loiimkykk. Advisor to Publications; Mu. Thomas Jakukt. I’niversity Photographer: Mu. Pall Miller of Ashby Incorp.; Mu. Rapii Benz of the S. K. Smith Company: Mu. Rollins Haddock of John and Ollier: the Photographers of Gold-Tone Studios: whose interest and help made this hook possible; words can not express my thanks. Mark Kakaceoroe. my father, whose patience with me was incomparable: who worried constantly alxmt the late hours and irregular meal times I kept, and my many auto trips to Erie to see the printer: to say thank you seems but small in view of your faith in me. that there would be a 1949 Owl.

Seeking sone final word, some sweet Amen, Wherewith to close the volume iu his hand. The billows rolled and plunged upon the sand. The circling sea-gulls swept l eyond his ken. And from the parting cloud-rack now and then Flashed the red sunset over sea and land Then by the billows at his feet was tossed A broken oar: and carved thereon he read: Oft was I weary, when I toiled at thee:” And like a man. who findeth what was lost. Me wrote the words, then lifted up his head. And flung his useless pen into the sea. IIkxry Wadsworth Ix nc;fkllow 416 • .. ' c ' V-
