There were many, to be sure. We may remember that it was in the fall of ’52 that Phi Beta Kappa voted to establish a chapter at Pitt; some of us may recall the thrill of witnessing the English Room Dedication; others may think of Pitt’s first Political Week, with happiness or disgust depending on party affiliation, and of the slogan that resulted, “As Pitt goes, so goes the nation.” Many of us will be saddened by the memory of Professor Robert X. Graham’s sudden death. All of us will surely recall Pitt’s rise to national football prestige and the long-sought-for victories over Notre Dame, Army, and Ohio State, and the Orange Howl hopes that were dashed by the decisive defeat by Penn State. In reflection, vivid memories—the sad and the happy—of Pitt in 1952-53 will come back to us, but there is something which we will never recall exactly, which we will have with us always. It will be the crux of the college experience, the accumulation of four years of the interplay of thoughts with fellow students, administration, and faculty. The Owl is a record of Pitt in 1952-53; it belongs to us students, for without us, Pitt would not be. The 1953 Owl is more than that, though. It is a tribute to the administration and faculty, for without them there could not be for us this college experience. We, the 1953 Owl staff, have tried not only to record a chronicle of Pitt in 1952-53, but to present you University administrators and faculty in the way we will remember you most. The Owl is meant for you who have given us the most intangible but most permanent memory of our life here at Pitt, the essence of a college experience. 5 In addition to his responsibilities as Head of the Music Appreciation Department, Dr. Finney teaches several classes. This picture, taken as he advises Barbara Millcn, illustrates his genuine interest in his students. My better half’ arc the words ‘‘Pop” uses when introducing Mrs. Finney. The dogs, Munk” and “Punk, as named by the choir, have long been a familiar part of the Finney home. Seldom docs an afternoon go by when “Pop doesn’t spend some time in the Tuck Shop conversing and joking over a cup of coffee with his kids, the Heinz Chapel Choir. ALL OF US here at the University, our University family (students, teachers, administrators, alumni, the office personnel, the men and women who keep our buildings and grounds beautiful) are held together in one common set of aims and purposes, which have as a major objective the idea of helping build a life that is rich in meaning, happy and successful, materially and spiritually. With this ideal in mind the University has the following purposes and aims: to draw out, cultivate, excite, and inspire the full development of each student; to create an atmosphere in which students will learn to think; to help students establish values through intimate acquaintance with the humanities, the arts, the natural sciences, the social sciences, and religion; to develop the character of students—integrity, honesty, judgement, cooperation, friendliness, and good-will; to create a community of scholars where research, curiosity, free inquiry, and discovery advance knowledge; to provide competent, well-trained professional leadership for one of the world’s most important industrial areas; to prepare men and women for citizenship in a democratic nation where freedom and liberty go hand in hand with law and justice and where responsibility, national and international, is a characteristic of the individual. ELLOR’S MESSAGE To carry out these purposes the University has established standards, programs and facilities, a distinguished faculty, capable students, a campus with useful and inspiring buildings, strong and appropriate courses of study, support of research programs, help to the student in planning a career, support of student organizations and sports, and the integration of the University with the community around it. All these ideas and plans have grown with the University through 166 years and all of them become realities through the loyal co-operation of our students. The teacher-student relationship is one tradition carried down through the centuries intact from the medieval universities to those of today. Here Dr. fames Tze-Chien Liu, of the history department, preserves tradition, informally, with his students in the Tuck Shop. At Pitt, too, the faculty can never grow too far from the students. Crowded as we are in elevators, halls, thrust skyward in one great building, men and women, students and teachers, all are part of life at Pitt. The Owl camera has here caught Professor fames C. Craig, School of Education, in the elevator shuffle. IVith campus activities centered as they are in the Cathedral of Learning, men from the other buildings, State and Thaw and A-lumni, must perforce spend a good portion of their days walking. Faculty, students, all make the trek, as does Robert Bonn, Instructor in Civil Engineering, uphill to State. Perhaps only in this country is such an intimate relationship possible between the teacher and his pupils. Rut after all, the life of one is scarcely to be distinguished from that of the other. The11 Owl was fortunate in meeting Dr. Raymond F. Brittain, of the history department, at home with his family. IVe all share a home life whose pattern varies little, city-wide, nation-wide. Two families are pictured on this page: here we meet Professor DeNux L. LeBlanc, geography department. Perhaps we still think of ourselves as children of the family, but tomorrow we too shall be heads of households—fathers and mothers. No less than the students, the faculty meet the problems peculiarly Pitt's, those of the metropolitan university, the urban school, the commuters' college. Dr. Kenneth F. fVertman, professor of bacteriologymakes the best of the daily annoyance of traffic, to and from home. Too often, perhaps, are these great city universities thought of as gigantic trade schools. Only tee who daily fill halls and classrooms can know the satisfaction offered by the stimulating personalities, the erudition of many of our teachers. Representative of the ancient learning is Philosophy Professor Richard F. Hope. Pitt has had many great teachers. But, inevitably, each year we must lose a few of them. The Owl,” like all the student publications at Pitt, owed a great debt to the late Robert X. Graham, professor of journalism, here photographed against the Gothic stonework of the school he served so willingly. In ancient times, of course, philosophy circumscribed all knowledge. Today, knowledge has grown complex, one reason for large universities may be found in the number of studies necessary to pursue the manifold pathways of knowledge. But still philosophy, however, are the complex measurements of Engineer Robert IF. Jackson. Some pursue knowledge with oscilloscopes, others with books, with anything the search demands. The communication of knowledge itself must be studied, and taught. Pitt's School of Education has a faculty engaged in creating faculties, as is Professor John IV. Harbaugh, engaged in research in the Sixth Floor Reference Library. Preparation for classes occupies more of a student's and a teacher's time than do the lecture hours themselves. A moment's relaxation, perhaps with a cigaret, and then back to the books. The picture is of Professor Harold M. Baker, mechanical engineering department, but it could be any student, any night. Counselling, advising, as well as teaching, are part of the faculty's duties. Dr. Dorothy Miller is adviser to many Education students, but here she is fulfilling another academic obligation—grading test papers, a measure of our progress. At registration the first meeting oj students and advisers occurs. Although things are likely to he in a state oj confusion, schedules eventually manage to he arranged to give us our required subjects and maybe a few of the electives we want. At the advisers' table is Mr. John D. Phillips, physics department. Seminar classes, and other small groups offer ideal teaching programs. At Pitt we have a few, are getting more. Here a student in a summer recreation class {for pleasure rather than credit), gets some pointers in fly -tying from Professor Edwin L. Peterson, of the English department, an expert f isherman. Before and after class some of the best teaching is done, as this student is finding out. Dr. John R. Bickley, modern languages department, answers a student's questions before class in one of the Nationality Rooms, where the surroundings are more pleasant than the bricks we got used to a few years ago. •5 u The community of scholars is still a fact, even today. At Pitt are the headquarters of several scholarly associations, officers of which are on our faculty. Dr. Arthur M. Young, head of the classics department, picks up his mail in the University post office, can expect to find letters from other scholars. 16 Individual instruction, of course, is a must in varsity competition, and the venerable coach of basketball. Dr. H. C. Carlson, is quick to demonstrate a few of thefiner points of foul shooting. The doctor s scholarship usually rubs off on some of his honor-student players. IVe don't meet the faculty only in the classroom. Their paths and ours cross throughout Pitt life. Tuck Shops,cafeteria,libraries, and Commons Room, are common meeting grounds. Dr. J. Warren Nyslrom, head of the geography department enjoys afternoon tea with students. Social events lighten the pressure of academic life. At all Pitt dances, the faculty are welcome guests. Colonel Holland L. Robb, head of the department of military science and tactics, joined the ROTC students at the Military Ball. The Faculty Club, in fact, is the only place where thefaculty can escape from the ubiquitous student. At lunch, the “Owl” photographer was allowed in long enough to take a picture of Professors Raymond F. Blackburn and Arend E. Boer, Business Administration. Saturday afternoons find Pitt students and faculty alike climbing the hill to the stadium. Ardent supporters of Pitt gridiron fortunes for many years have been Dr. Marion K. McKay, professor of economics, and Mrs. McKay. CUSSES Miss Pitt At the conclusion of four years at Pitt it is difficult to pinpoint the feelings and thoughts ot our many experiences here. The most treasured moments are intangible and cannot be defined or represented. But in this picture we have tried to gather together a few of the things that represent our life here at Pitt—books, Pin News, records, a dance program, and a Vade Mecum. We of the Owl have chosen Olga Kril and Mickey Zernich to be our Mr. and Miss Pitt of 1953. Both Olga and Mickey have participated in activities while maintaining high scholastic averages. They are typical of the many students who combine studies and activities—they are our Mr. and Miss Pitt. Pitt Owlettes MISS OWL OF 1953-, Gerda Friedman A new Owl feature last year, the Owlettes were so well received that we of the 1953 Owl staff could not forget them; here again, then, are nine lovely Pitt coeds—girls who brighten Pitt's hallways, Tuck Shops, and classrooms. As something special this year, we have chosen Gerda Friedman to be “Miss Owl of 7953Gerda, a freshman, represents to us the exuberance and sweetness which is typical of her classmates. Here they are, the 1953 Owlettes. 22 24 25 H ODK Awardee Ludwig Lippcrt Barbara Millen Truth Donna Parks ivAsm My Pickering V a or Bell)’ Klein Mar) Fu et Chief Marshal Beatrice Paul Hall of Fame Mary Fuget Robert Lyles Jack Burwinkel Betty Fulton ...

You probably know that you automatically become an alumnus of the University after graduation. Whether you become active or just a name on the records is, of course, your choice. As you move into larger areas of responsibility following graduation, you will be required to make many decisions. You will meet the challenge by getting the facts and making a determination. If space permitted, many facts supporting a decision to become an active supporting alumnus could be listed. Here are a few, however: (1) The facilities you enjoyed during your undergraduate days which were essential to your education were made possible in large measures by the active alumni interest of former graduates; (2) You with others have the opportunity of continuing those privileges and making Pitt’s future outstanding among the universities of the nation; (3) The Association through its organizational structure can be a medium of continuing school friendships beyond graduation. In fair judgement, don’t you experience a sense of obligation to share in the work and objectives of our Alumni Association? Will you write or contact the General Alumni Secretary, J. Clyde Barton, 3632 Cathedral of Learning, for ways in which you can effect continued interest and loyalty to your Alma Mater. Cordially, Paul W. Kearney President, 1952-53 34 JEANNE Y.

FLANIGAN Irwin, Pa. College The fifth floor library is the most popular of the three at Pitt. A College student usually puts in an average of two hours of library work per day. Many of the girls in the College are members of sororities. These groups add greatly to the social life at Pitt. In the Blue Tuck Flo takes time out for a coke with some of her sorority sisters, Chi Omega’s. Flo is a member of Student Congress, one of the governing bodies at Pitt. Helping her do some of the stapling for jm. portant notices is Maggie Dowling. Florence Horn, a pre-med senior in the College, visits with Dean Craw-ford to check requirements for medical school. (By the way, Flo was accepted.) In their last year at Pitt, senior girls have the opportunity to be mentors. Flo is one of these girls; she acts as an adviser to freshmen girls, counciling them on scholastic importance, poise, sororities, etc. Whether they arc studying pre-med, pharmacy, or liberal arts, members of the College must take a year of a science with a lab. 44 NSTRUCTION in the College curriculum at the University of Pittsburgh is based on the idea that every student should receive a general education that will prepare him to express himself adequately, to understand many of the complexities of the world in which he lives, and to perform his duties as a citizen with intelligence, tolerance, and conviction, and to develop his own maximum capacity for the enjoyment of intellectual and asthetic pleasures. To meet these needs each student in the College is required to complete a schedule which includes, without exception, two years of English language and literature, two years of a foreign language, at least one year of physical education, and eighteen credits in three principal areas of academic study: the humanities, the social studies, and the natural sciences. With this type of background, the student picks his major subject to study intensively and extensively during his junior and senior years. The College in the University is the direct descendant of the original Pittsburgh Academy founded in 1787 ... a fact that every freshman student knows well. It has been responsible during the years for creative writers, painters, philosophers, biologists, geologists, and various other fields. In addition to serving the College students who are registered for a degree, the College offers courses to students registered in the other schools of the University and to those preparing for professional school. The College has developed courses to enable the student to explore many fields of knowledge and to become aware of their relatedness. Dean Stanton C. Crawford and the personnel staff', with the aid of the faculty and various administrative officers, endeavor to maintain a close relationship to aid in understanding of the problems of the individual student, in order to help him work out a good social, educational, vocational, emotional, and in fact, general adjustment. The entire college curriculum seeks to instill in the student a feeling of personal responsibility for continuous growth and a desire for a better understanding of the cultural heritage of his community and nation and to develop a sense of responsibility to others in the University and the rest of mankind. 45 COLLEGE JOHN E.

It will be located on O'Hara Street; the center portion of this new building will contain six floors. In lab class Dick participates in a thermo analysis of steel. AH such experiments are conducted in the metallurgical lab. Learning to operate instruments such as this is part of the education students receive in this mechanical engineering power lab. 52 Laboratory in Thaw Hall is one of many in which students spend much time as engineers. Students are pouring a heat from a furnace into a forging. In the process one student prepares to take a sample. With the help of another student, Dick tests an ingot in the reheat furnace. HE DEMAND for engineers is reaching an all time high in the United States. Since World War II the heavy demands made upon industry and manufacturing have demonstrated the necessity for correct application of modern engineering principles. To meet the atomic age and keep astride of engineering designs, the University of Pittsburgh plans to erect a new building this summer connecting Thaw and Mellon Halls. The recognition of the need for new facilities is fundamental to engineering progress. The new six story building will provide well equipped hydraulics and strength of materials laboratories plus many other labs to accomodate all other phases of engineering. The Engineering and Mines student is one of the hardest working and conscientious persons attending the university. Always recognizable by a slide rule under one arm, the engineers arc usually seen walking up Bigelow Boulevard to State and Thaw Halls. The engineers’ class hours are longer than the average undergraduate student. He spends approximately eight to twelve hours in lab in one week and his outside work consists on the average of four hours a night. The College and the School of Engineering and Mines of the University have entered into a cooperative plan of studies involving a total of five years and leading to two degrees. A student completing three years of work in the College and two years of work in the School of Engineering and Mines may satisfy the requirements for a Bachelor of Science degree from the College at the end of the fourth year and a Bachelor of Science degree from the School of Engineering and Mines in the department of his curriculum at the end of the fifth year. The student can choose cither plan and is also eligible to do graduate research work in engineering. A concluding point to bring out in the expansion of the research program is the new arm of research the University has extended to Fifth Avenue. As the present labs became more crowded, the establishment of this lab became a necessity. All this expansion and extension may mean nothing to the present-day student now at the University, but in a few years every one will benefit; the present-day student, the incoming student, and the graduate; for all will face a brighter and more useful engineering future. 53 ENGINEERING AND MINES BETTY KLEIN Ambndgc, Pa.

Paul, Eugene Miles, and Karl Meyers, all students in Bus Ad, practice operating a Fridcn Calculator. Paul attends a meeting of Alpha Kappa Psi, honorary Business Administration Fraternity. The organization is open to male students only. 62 Students who have classes in the Cathedral have three places in which to cat: Blue Tuck, Red Tuck, and Cafeteria. Paul prefers the cafeteria since there is more room and a larger variety of food. An accounting major, Paul values all the free time he can get. An average accounting problem takes approximately five hours of work per night. College students immediately think of rulers and large yellow work sheets when Business Administration is mentioned to them. True to popular belief, the Bus Ad student spends many hours on accounting. Professor Jablonski instructs one of Paul’s classes. •Ooo ►000 ►000 DDING figures is an everyday job in the School of Business Administration. Business law, economics, political science, merchandising, accounting, and insurance classes are only a few of the courscsoffercd in the University for ambitious men and women. The purposes of the School of Business Administration are: to prepare students for positions of responsibility in the economic and business world and in government; to cultivate those qualities of mind and character which make useful citizens with high ideals of business morality and social responsibility; to inspire them toward high standards of scholarship and leadership; and, to develop in them the ability to think clearly and logically. The school seeks also to establish a sound education in business subjects for those students who plan to teach, enter the legal profession, or further their education through graduate study; to bring about an understanding of the relationships between individuals, business and the community; and to disseminate knowledge in the field of economic and business affairs, with particular reference to the important industrial community in which the University of Pittsburgh is located. Speaking broadly, four years in the School of Business Administration should lead to a successful and socially useful career in business. Completing the spring of the senior year, representatives from approximately fifteen different companies invade the graduating ranks in the School and interview students for jobs. Normally, the interview rush is a spring rush. The numerous interviews arc arranged by the Placement Bureau of the University. Out of town companies and accounting firms make appointments with the Bureau and forms showing the interview times are posted on the twentieth floor. More and more, business is demanding university trained men and women. Every year a number of former students who have left before graduation to enter business return to complete their education. The several departments of the School of Business Administration offer a complete program of graduate courses and seminars leading to Masters degrees. 63 BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION THOMAS J.

TOMBS College Teaching a child to write is a challenge to both the student and the teacher. Ethel, and all teachers, are very proud when they see the boys and girls whom they arc teaching, master this skill. Reading is taught to the children before they begin to write. To aid the class, the teacher uses word-cards placed on the board. These words can be interchanged, thus enabling the boys and girls to better grasp the meaning of the word. Ethel and Mr. George W. Hoffman, Director of the Teachers Appointment Bureau and Assistant Professor in Education, take a forward look to Ethel’s career. Dean Franklin and Ethel Ross, a senior in education, check the University Bulletin to sec if Ethel has the required subjects for graduation. In their senior year, all education students practice teach. A practice teacher for the first grade at Frick School, Ethel teaches the boys and girls a new game. Helping the children dress is an enjoyable task to Ethel. Her education prepares her for handling all eventualities with finesse and finality. HE PRIMARY concern of American education today is . . . to cultivate in the largest number of our future citizens an appreciation both of the responsibilities and the benefits which come to them because they are American and free.” The above quotation of purpose may be one of the many reasons why so many enthusiastic students arc preparing to l e educators. The School of Education at the University of Pittsburgh has one of the largest enrollments in the undergraduate schools. Application for admission to the school is made in the last semester of the sophomore year. The students must meet the strict standards of the school and have at least sixty-two credits in college work before they make application. Following their admission they study specialized courses for teaching methods, tests and measures, and psychological development of the child. The student who plans to teach must have a broad and extensive education to meet the progressive age in which he is living. They must be prepared to meet the constant ways of the younger generation. Nowadays children arc helping to educate themselves by watching television and their very receptive minds need guidance. The basic principles of education will never change, but the education of the students in schools today is becoming more extensive and specialized, requiring the instructor to also learn while instructing. To meet this need, Pitt offers courses requiring the students to observe classes in schoolrooms around the general Pittsburgh area. The students prepare lesson plans and experience the everyday planning a teacher must do. At Pitt the four fields in the School of Education are Secondary Education, Physical Education, Elementary Education, and Business Education. During the first two years in the college, an education student’s schedule consists of English, geography, biology, and other related sciences and general education classes. During the four year college life of the student, special programs, speakers, and conferences are arranged by the Dean of the school. Education sororities, fraternities, and honoraries such as Delta Delta Lambda and Alpha Beta Gamma challenge the students to consistently maintain high scholastic standing. 7i EDUCATION I.OIS F.

College SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY The Dent students arc given thorough instructions on X-raying a patient’s mouth. Pitt’s school of Dentistry has always had the objective of training students in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of oral diseases, and the enabling of the student to meet effectively the responsibilities of dental practice. To this end the social, economic and ethical relationships of the profession are stressed. From thousands of applications received yearly, the University of Pittsburgh School of Dentistry selects only the most capable men for enrollment in their school, really one of the finest in the country. Building from a firm basis in the sciences, the student is given thorough training in the most modern techniques of scientific anatomy, prosthesis, histology and the many related sciences. In his junior and senior year, the Dent student has an opportunity to put theory to practice as he works in the infirmary. The University of Pittsburgh School of Dentistry was established on April 2o, 1896 as the Pittsburgh Dental College. Since that time it has grown considerably in both size and improvements. The present buildings are well equipped with modern dentistry tools and improved teaching apparatus. A Dent student filing down a case. 76 WILLIAM N. ALEXANDER Warrcndale, Pa.

Almost all of the nursing classes have been scheduled in the red brick building for the 1952-53 session. The faculty and students are able to meet together through the Student-Faculty Nursing Association. The Association works through special committees composed of both faculty and undergraduates, which does much to enrich the lives of the student nurses. At the end of the prcclinical period, beginning students receive their first honor of recognition at the “capping ceremony.” The Black Banding ceremony at the beginning of the senior year is the second stepping stone to a career in nursing. The final recognition for students of nursing is the Pinning ceremony at the end of the basic professional program. At the end of their five-year training program, the nurses may schedule further specialization work at the University or enter their professional careers with a sense of security based on the knowledge of the excellent nursing education that they have received. 82 Not only must a nurse be adept at administering a hypo, but she must also be a part-time dietician.

The Pitt School of Pharmacy, although located on the Boulevard of the Allies, is a very-important part of the University. Pharmacy school students arc an especially close, well-knit group with a strong sense of fellowship and cooperation. The group publishes its own newspaper, The Pitt Capsule, and has organized an active student council. Besides busy classroom and lab work, the senior class annually takes two trips to Parkc-Davis in Detroit, Michigan and Eli Lily in Indianapolis, Indiana. Prominent visiting speakers in pharmacy and its allied fields, stimulating seminars, and visits to pharmacy laboratories provide a full schedule for these students. A student branch of the American pharmaceutical Association provides an excellent link with the practicing pharmacists. Dean E. C. Rcif and his fine staff believe in a well-rounded education and have encouraged many social events each year. The new equipment and research laboratory provided added incentive for high scholastic achievement. EDWIN R. ARMOUR Pharmacy MARVIN BAREST Pharmacy ALBERT L. BARSKY Pharmacy THOMAS H.

Founded in 1918, the Retail Training Bureau was organized as a cooperative venture between major Pittsburgh stores and higher education for the purpose of developing future store executives. The close and sympathetic cooperation has continued through thirty-five years. Of particular advantage to students is the location of the Retail Training Bureau in the city of Pittsburgh, long recognized as “the city of department stores.” Pittsburgh, therefore, serves as the ideal laboratory in training for careers in retailing. Students work under a program which coordinates university classroom instruction by store-trained professors with practical experience in prominent retail stores. Classroom theory is tested in actual working situations, an opportunity rare in the learning stage of any career. Experience, in turn, serves to enrich classroom discussion. For the store laboratory work students arc paid, thus giving the opportunity for partial self-support while training for a career. Research Bureau for Retail Training Class of 1953 First Row: S.

Retail students study in the world’s largest library of books and periodicals exclusively on retailing subjects. An informal group meets between classes in the Bureau lounge. This student is taking a quick glance between classes to keep up with the world of retailing news and fashion. The research division of the Bureau, which seeks the better ways of performing retailing functions, develops studies based on research in Pittsburgh’s department stores. While working on these living problems, students have the opportunity of applying the methods of retail research. A master’s degree is earned upon successful completion of the year’s study. The 19th and 20th floors of the Cathedral of Learning arc the home of the Retail Training Bureau. Here is complete concentration on retailing, from specially designed classrooms to the world’s largest library devoted exclusively to books and periodicals on retailing subjects. These floors also include the retail research division, faculty and administrative offices, and student lounge. The Director of the Bureau is Professor Bishop Brown who has been associated with the Bureau since 1929 and has been its Director since 1936. In this capacity he has helped aiid inspired hundreds of Bureau students who are now executives in retailing the world around. Two underclassmen make appointments at the Student Desk to donate blood for the Pitt Blood Drive. Underclassmen played an important part in putting the Drive over the top. Students often make dates to meet in the libraries and study together. There is always some question as to how much studying is done, but it is an interesting way to spend the off-hours between classes. The fifth floor delivery room is often the busiest in the University. This is especially evident when the underclassmen realize that their final term papers and book reports arc due. Although the 1953 Owl is thought of primarily as the seniors’ book, it is also important to the underclassmen who greatly outnumber the seniors. They too combine activities with studies and social life to make up life at Pitt. 92 CYNTHIA R. ABERMAN College HENRY C. ADAMS College ESTELLE ADLER Education RONALD J. AMALONG College FRANK A.

YOUNG College McDonald, Pa. 4 Bill® « ss pw Mllii All Pitt students look on registration time with fond thoughts—the crowds, the lines, the crowds and the lines. It is one of the few times in your life that you must stand in line to give your money away. The break-down comes! Every student carefully plans his schedule so that the hours arc convenient and he’s got plenty of free time in between. After securing seven of the dozen class cards he needs, he sadly finds out that Algebra 3 is offered only fourth hour and he had it scheduled for third . . . but that’s impossible because English Lit is third hour which would mean taking French eighth hour six days a week ... Oh, what’s the use! 101 PITT IN The Vadc Mccum is a small book put out by the VVSGA for the women of Pitt. In it are listed all the student activities, their functions, and purpose, a brief history of the University, and a calendar listing major events and goings on around Pitt. To every Pitt co-ed the Vade Mecum extends the friendly invitation, “Come with me.” Pitt starts the season’s social whirl with an all student mixer dance and from the looks of things the mixation isn’t bad at all. The purpose of these get togethers is to help the new freshmen and the transfers or out of town students get acquainted with the general population of Pitt and the opposite sex, of course. Pitt is really just one big happy family, and the mixer dance helps make it so. St' ' educators proudly use pictures such as these to point out youth’s great craving for knowledge. During the first week of classes when students are all in a hurry to get their text-books, the bookstore is truly a haven for the thin and small. You’re a lucky one if you come out as you went in. 102 The men have a chance to relax and kibitz away from the din of the tuck shop and class rooms up in the eighth floor Panther Room. Ping-pong, card playing, smoking and munching on candy bars can be observed at almost any time during the day. Sort of a poor man’s faculty club! Billy Graham, the Evangelist, speaks to an assembly of Pitt students at Foster Memorial. This is just part of the University’s plan to present speakers of different creeds and faiths to the student body. 103 Pitt often starts celebrating before the game is won as is the case at the pre-Pitt-Iowa Kickoff Dance. The lovely young lady is receiving the doorprize of the evening: a football autographed by all the players and coaches. Perhaps the players would like the lovely lady’s autograph! Before the semester is hardly begun, you will find many students busy doing reference and research work in the quiet sanctum of Pitt’s library. Here students are able to relax and study in the pleasant atmosphere of the Alldred Room. Another insignificant item that a Freshman discovers soon after entering Pitt is that you’ve got to stand in line for almost everything —especially if you don’t have a locker. It’s amazing how you never walk out with someone else’s coat. Freshmen often find the quiet of the library a startling contrast to the mass of jabbering humanity that jams the elevator corridor.

A small donation to the Pitt Chest will register your vote; this is one election where you are encouraged to vote as many times as you please.” Alpha Phi Omega did many more pleasant things though. They went as a group to the Pitt Players’ production of “The Heiress and had a party afterward. Some of the fellows were lucky enough to attend the Alpha Phi Omega national convention in Columbus, Ohio, where they got many ideas to use for service projects at Pitt. 106 Arnold Air Society Pres. V. Pres. Rcc. Sec. Treas. Adv. Dick Kcilhofer A1 Seligsohn Dick Pizzadez A1 Ziegler Capt. R. Burns The Pitt chapter of the national honorary Air Force fraternity, Arnold Air Society, is a fairly new organization. Yet, since its origin in the spring of 1949, it has developed with admirable rapidity. This year, the society, formerly known as Prop and Wing, again strove to promote better relations and understanding between the advanced students of the AFROTC and the ROTC Department Staff, to advance the military preparedness and protection of our country and to increase our knowledge of the scope and mission of the U.S. Air Force. Besides its official business, the Pitt chapter organized a Christmas Dance and other social functions including pledge smokers and picnics. The Air Society taps for members at the beginning of both the spring and fall semesters. Qualifications for membership are a 2.0 average in ROTC and a 1.5 overall average in the University.

Tri Beta’s spent a great deal of their time in the Tri Beta room and to make it more livable they decorated it with pictures; collections of bugs, animals, plants, and bones that only a science lover could appreciate; and modern drapes to add a homey touch. Many of the young scientists did extensive study and individual research work in bacteriology with some unusual and impressive results. Tri Beta’s social activities included an open house and an initiation banquet in the fall and spring, and student faculty smokers and general business meetings. The feature event of the group was a weekend field trip to the Pymatuning Laboratory of Field Biology. At this scenic spot where nature’s small field animals, snakes, wild plants, and aquatic life live in freedom ... until they arrive, the young biologists were quite at home. For three days they hunted, fished, collected, dissected, and discussed their personal discoveries ... and then the long road home for happy Beta’s.

Exactly what happened the night the English Room was dedicated? For the answers to these and many other questions, ask a Cwen. This year every Cwen was a Nationality and Heinz Chapel Hostess. The social season of the Cwens included a Christmas supper, Founder’s Day Tea and a party with the alumnae. Alpha Phi Omega and Cwens worked together this year to put out an extra special Student Directory. For the first time the boys’ names were put in the directory and also their telephone numbers. That gave everyone a fair chance. In November the halls were filled with students, arms loaded with directories, stopping everyone. “Buy a Student Directory,” “Find out her phone number.” There were results. Shortly after the directory publication telephones buzzed continuously as Pitt’s social life progressed . . . thanks to Alpha Phi Omega and Cwens.

Delta Sigma Delta is an honorary dental fraternity honoring outstanding scholarship in the field of dentistry. In the spring of the year, the Delta Sig’s packed lunches and headed for North and South Park to have farewell picnics for their graduating seniors. Dent school students don’t find too much time for parties and play, but they do find time for their annual stag to finish another year of fraternal friendship. in Druids are quite proud of their plaque on the 8th floor—Jay Garber (with his back to you) is studying the plaque very thoroughly.

What would the Druids serve at their annual initiation dinner dance? Everything but the food question had been settled weeks ago. The dance was planned for December 12 at the Penn Lincoln Hotel. Just the thought of all this food ended the meeting and sent the boys scurrying to the Tuck Shop for a coke and sandwich. Further discussions of the boys concerned how they could encourage the students’ support of campus activities such as Political Week and the Pitt Chest Fund. Druids played Sir Galahad by ushering at many affairs and took active parts in Spring Festivals, Tap Day, and other big events. Ever anxious to promote scholarship, Druids kept up their fine record.

Pledges were honored at the initiation banquets each semester. At homecoming, November I, former Pitt bandsmen were assembled for a reunion and marched out on the football field at halftime with the band. All band members are invited to Kappa Kappa Psi affairs and large crowds always turn out for the parties. And as always, Benny Bcnack was on hand to play his “hot” trumpet for the gang. A welcome sight to visiting band members at football games was the coffee and refreshments sponsored, financed, and served by Kappa Kappa Psi. All the fellows await the arrival of the large brown tank of steaming coffee at each home game.

Mrs. Cappelli The Lambda Kappa Sigma girls are all learning how to bake cookies, cakes, pies and fudge. No, not a home economics course, the members of the pharmacy sorority just decided that they wanted to remodel the girls’ lounge at Pharmacy School. Since there isn’t a Tuck Shop at Pharmacy School, the bake sales provide the students with in-between-classes snacks and serve a double service. Every year the active members sponsor an annual alumni banquet for graduates at the Sheraton Hotel in February. They present skits concerning the pharmacy profession and in general, promote good relations with the alumni chapter. Another annual party at the end of the school season is a farewell banquet for the graduating seniors. The girls all recall freshman days, organic chemistry tests and the different types of toothpastes that they mixed up during their many long hours in lab. At Christmastime, Margaret Sherwood and the other girls are busy planning their formal dance and party at one of the local hotels. The theme is usually in keeping with the pharmacist and his line of work from a girl’s point of view. Since the girls at pharmacy school are definitely in the minority, they all find lasting friendship and enjoyment in working with their Lambda Kappa Sigma sisters during their four years of college life. These girls obviously enjoy the thought of devoting their fu- Marian Mallingcr stirs prescription as her co-students check tures to prescriptions, powders, and pills. ingredients and procedure.

Peggy Ann Cohen Donna Parks Lorraine Gottschall Jessie Goode Miss Rush Members of Mortar Board, the national honorary for outstanding senior women, strive to foster leadership, honor learning, and render service to the University. Conscious of the need for participation in the privileges offered in a democracy, the Mortar Board members designed and had printed birthday cards which they sent to all the Pitt women on their twenty-first birthday. In addition to congratulating the women, the cards reminded each girl of her duties as a citizen. This year the Tech chapter of Mortar Board graciously entertained the Pitt girls at Carnegie Union. During the informal program and serving of refreshments, the two groups found they had many common interests. Mortar Board members are known for their dinner meetings; over recipes and hot coffee the girls shared their thoughts and problems, both school and national. And at the close of each meeting with the singing of “Taps,” the girls knew that they had been bound together once more in the bonds of Mortar Board. First Rote: M. Denton, D. Parks, P. Cohen, L.

The long grey walk passing Heinz Chapel on the right side walking towards the University is not just another walk. It’s ODK walk and the names inscribed on the stone walk are the outstanding men students of Pitt since 1914. Each year Omicron Delta Kappa recognizes college men who have attained high standards in all phases of collegiate life. During the last few days of school in May, everyone is asking the same question, “Who do you think will make ODK walk this year?” ODK singles out and rewards the senior man who has done the most in his four years at Pitt to further ideals of the organization and his name is inscribed on the ODK walk. This year Joseph A. Marasco, Jr. served as president; Lud Lippert, Vice President. Gcri Ash, girl reporter, tries to listen to typical tall tale of Dr. Denton Beal while gathering news. Having a Grand President of a fraternity right on campus might cramp the style of many fraternities but not that of the Pi Dclt’s at Pitt. Under the watchful eye of Dr. Robert X. Graham, head of Pitt’s Journalism Department and Grand Prexy of Pi Delta Epsilon, these big wheels of Pitt’s publications made the ’52 and ’53 semesters two of the biggest in their history. At their regular dinner-meetings their speakers for the past year were tops and the food more delicious than ever. But not content with just getting together at dinner meetings the Pi Delt’s sponsored a gala party at North Park. Too, there was their Founder’s Day and the annual National Convention in April with the members of Pi Delta Epsilon bubbling with enthusiasm over both. But uppermost in their plans is the Publications Lounge to be on the eighth floor for all publication workers. Some Pi Delt's work into the wee hours of the morning to meet the Owl deadline.

Philip Fireman V. Pres. Morton Goldstein Rec. Sec. William Franks Adv. Mrs. W. Miller Joe Marasco and Mort Goldstein are curious to sec the misprint Phil Fireman points out to astonished friend. Only junior and senior students at Pitt who have maintained outstanding scholarship and scholastic records during their four years are eligible for Pi Tau Phi membership. The honorary scholastic fraternity is mainly made up of undergraduate students and has included in recent years graduate students who meet the active membership requirements. In the fall and spring semesters the group welcomes new members at traditional initiation banquets. They have regular business meetings bi-monthly and informal social gatherings to build group fellowship and participation. Membership in Pi Tau Phi is truly a challenge to any undergraduate student. The organization recognizes intellectual leadership and is advised by Dr. Richard Hyde. The object of the bi-monthly meetings of Pi Tau Phi can perhaps best be explained by the following excerpt from the preamble of their constitution: “We the members of Pi Tau Phi, do hereby band together to conserve and spread scholarship, culture and idealism . . . always striving by all sound methods to stimulate sound thought and true intellectual standards.” First Row: M.

Quo Vadis is an honorary sorority that taps its members from the group of women, who as student hostesses work to interpret to the public and the student body the spirit and ideals of the Nationality Rooms. These girls are very busy with their many special projects. They are our University hostesses. You may see them pouring tea in the Commons Room any day of the week. It is through their hard work that the Commons Room gets its beautiful decorations for Christmas and other holidays. There is a busy social season planned for this year. It includes dinner on the twelfth floor in March and a tea with the Nationality Room hostess guild. Besides these major affairs, the members of Quo Vadis, cooperate with various committees of the Nationality Rooms in planning their social affairs. The sorority fosters understanding of the culture of the individual nationality groups, and instills an understanding of the interdependence of nationalities. If one day you hear a girl explaining, “This wrought-iron work came from the 1939 New York World’s Fair,’’ you will know it’s one of the Quo Vadis girls fulfilling her job as Nationality Room Hostess.

These men took time out for a chat in the Commons Room— but what's this one fellow's hiding in his hands? Scabbard and Blade Capt. Lester A. Yeaney First Lieut. James E. Cohen Second Lieut. Albert Kopec First Sergeant Robert Love Adv. Major L. McCartney Scabbard and Blade is the only national undergraduate honorary society of its kind. On the Pitt campus, the organization honors above average students in advance corps. The major purpose of Scabbard and Blade is to promote and reward efficiency in the training of the reserve officers and to assist and support the Military Department of the school. Twice a year the members “hit the deck” early in the morning to have an initiation breakfast for their new pledges. This gives all the ROTC boys an idea of real military life. Scabbard and Blade is always one of the sponsors of the big Military Ball in January. This year, Charlie Spivak played sweet music while the uniformed men waltzed their dates on the ballroom floor of the Georgian Room in the Webster Hall Hotel. Every semester the group sponsors interfraternity events with Pershing Rifles and the Arnold Air Society. These included smokers, Korean war movies and athletic competitions. Another special event this year was the banquet to initiate Major Horcy McCartney as a faculty adyiser. The many activities of Company D of Scabbard and Blade kindled a strong spirit of comradeship and deep respect for fraternity ideals this year by cooperating and working together. First Rose: J.

They are the students who have the ability to understand and speak the modern languages with a great deal of ease. This is hard for most students to understand because of the difficulty that the majority of them have in mastering a language in high school or college. Christmas season is Sigma Kappa Phi season. They have a program for their members and present skits, dances, and customs of the different countries whose languages they speak. An open house in the spring gave the Sigma Kappa Phi an opportunity to entertain high school students and the Pitt student body. The evening was devoted to plays, speeches, and song recitals all presented in a foreign language. Also in the spring is the initiation of the new tapees. The members qualify for membership by-entertaining the old members with a foreign lanr guage skit . . . and then they have a banquet, speaking English in the dinner conversation. 121 Buddy Minsky is amused as Suzanne Janos points out country whose language these students are studying.

Frederick Keay Adv. Mr. E. B. Stuart Once a month on the bulletin board at State Hall there is a notice for all Sigma Tau members. Meeting only once a month this honorary fraternity promotes higher scholastic achievements among the engineering and mines students. The fraternity does not have a house or a regular meeting room and yet they are one of the most active honoraries on the Pitt campus. Twenty-two actives and twenty-two pledges comprise the group of engineers under the leadership of Donald Gardner. “The West is all right, but I'll take Pittsburgh any day,” at least that is what Don Gardner told his brothers after his trip to Wyoming this October. Don attended the biennial meeting for all Sigma Tau presidents at the University of Wyoming. He came back to Panthcrville with loads of new ideas and the lingering enthusiasm that goes with fraternal conventions. Now the Sig Tau’s are planning to have regular meetings in a local restaurant. They are also planning another big project that will take a long time . . . but it’s in the secret stage now. December 15, pledges of Sigma Tau were honored at a banquet and social evening provided by active members.

They began with a delightful Founder’s Day Tea in October and just six days later they heard a well-known nurse speak at their program meeting. A theater party at the Pittsburgh Playhouse and a Christmas Party rounded out the year of 1952 for them. But soon after the new semester began, the Sigma Theta’s presented Dr. M. C. Elmer, who spoke on “Human Relations.” Their initiation banquet was at the Faculty Club in March. In April was their card party and finally in June, their initiation tea. As they have done every year since their founding-at the University of Pittsburgh in 1946, the Sigma Theta’s provided a scholarship for a pre-nursing student in the College at Pitt and honored a graduating nurse with a special award on Scholar’s Day.

Phi Beta Kappa On the afternoon of January 19 in the English Room, Xi chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic society, was installed at the University of Pittsburgh. The installation was performed by Dr. Goodrich C. White, president of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa. According to the Phi Beta Kappa handbook, in the establishing of new chapters, emphasis is placed “not on quantitative measurements but rather upon the spirit of a college, the quality of its work, and the achievements of its graduates.” Much of the credit in having the chapter established is due to the seventy-five members of the Pitt faculty who represented Phi Beta Kappa chapters from forty-four colleges. These faculty members were the grantees of Xi chapter and were active in its formation. The installation of Xi chapter not only brings honor and recognition to the University, but is a stimulus and an encouragement to students and faculty alike. Members who were initiated in January into Xi chapter of Phi Beta Kappa arc: HONORARY TAPPEES Dr. R. H. Fitzgerald Dr. Stanton C. Crawford Dr. Manuel C. Elmer Dr. Elmer D.

An extension of this idea was the miniature model United Nations Conference held in October. During this conference many discussions and debates concerning critical and timely issues such as the “Racial and Religious Problems of British and French West Africa” were carried on. Students from foreign countries presented the viewpoints of their countries. PITT IN An All Nations Tea was held in the afternoon in the Commons Room after one of the assemblies. Nationality Room Hostesses served as guides and helped with the reception.

Each year in honor of the freshman women and their Senior Mentors the YWCA presents the Caritas Ceremony in Heinz Chapel. Through pantomime great women are presented who through the years have made their act of loving kindness toward better human understanding. The women portrayed such as this Queen Esther symbolize the best of life. Only the freshman women can possess such careless abandon, such complete detachment from the rigors and cares of knowing what exam week means; only at a Freshman Sing could such expression find an outlet. The enthusiasm of-these co-eds is just one example of the great contribution freshmen make to school spirit in joining in the singing and learning of school songs. The look of consternation is the result of the Freshman Women’s Orientation Exam. The exam is made up and given by members of the WSGA’s Customs Committee and is part of the orientation program for new co-eds to introduce them to Pitt life and make them a part of it. Hope you pass! When a co-ed answers all the questions on the history of the University, and knows all the cheers and Pitt songs, she is rewarded with a Panther pin. Once a girl receives her Panther pin, she no longer must wear that “red badge of courage”: the traditional green arm band. The women are not the only ones that have to take an orientation quiz. The Dean of Men's Office sees to it that no one gets away with anything. Note the somewhat sadistic smiles on those who have been through this before! The orientation program is no laughing matter to the freshman, but by the time Halloween approaches—even the much teased “froshie” is able to bob for apples and still come up smiling. That exam is not as easy as it looks. I wonder if the boys who make up these custom perplexers help the “profs” make up their exams? 31 All aboard! Bus leaving for the Pitt Army game . . . and what a game! Pitt's dynamic offense despite the absence of four of the key players from the line-up was enough to draw praises from even the New York critics. There’s a familiar saying that “nothing can stop the Army Air Corps,” but when rally happy Pitt students take the “sergeant in arms” ... No ROTC today! The ROTC is not the only thing that is disrupted when Pittites go all out in their celebration of Pitt’s upset over Notre Dame. A victory march up Fifth Avenue and over to Carnegie Tech snarls up traffic— who cares . . . We won didn’t we? Even the Mayor of Pittsburgh and Chancellor Fitzgerald help the Pitt Panther organize a rally of the student body to celebrate Pitt’s romp over Notre Dame. 132 It seems as if all of the University has gathered in the Commons Room when second hour is called off so that the students can celebrate the Pitt-Notre Dame game in true fashion. The support that was given to the team and its wonderful coach, Red Dawson, never faltered, and every stomping foot and every cheering voice in the big hall held hopes of a “Bowl Bid.” 33 Still Gooo Seats Left For T,MEor YQUR , i rr thurFr, life sat BY WILLIAM SAROYAN TODAY - VOTE 0 When the ballots were all in and duly counted by Senior Court, Dean Rush and her staff, the mock election gave Ike a 252 vote edge over Stevenson.

ROTC students participate in Armed Forces Day parade along Grant Street. Part of Air Force ROTC cadet training consists of marching drills on the Cathedral lawn. The purpose of the Air Force Reserve Officer’s Training Corps is to train cadets in the customs and requirements of a well-rounded officer in the U.S.A.F. To accomplish that purpose, instructors who are officers and airmen selected by the Air Force, teach cadets such basic subjects as World Political Geography, Drill, Exercise of Command, Leadership, Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Applied Air Power. Upon successful completion of the first two years of the course, cadets may enroll in the Advanced Course in which subjects taught are in the fields of Administration and Logistics, Flight Operations, and Con-trollership. The AFROTC program is designed to provide the student with a balanced course of officer-development training and officer-career training, both theoretical and practical. This in conjunction with his academic curriculum will qualify him to discharge all duties and responsibilities which may be required of him as a junior officer of any component of the Air Force, without further formal schooling.

A comprehensive program of extra-curricular clinics is given by men outstanding in the various fields of dentistry—prostho-dontia, exodontia, orthodontia, periodontia. In addition sound movies on technique and other dental data arc used. In keeping with the fraternity’s emphasis on scholastic attainment and devotion to career, each year it presents an award to the senior in the School of Dentistry who has attained the highest scholastic rating. The social program is well filled and integrated with the professional-clinical schedule. Most outstanding of the association’s annual events arc a barn dance held each October and an active-alumni dance which enables the graduates to keep in close contact with each other. In May the fraternity holds its Senior Banquet, at which time it honors the graduating senior members of the group. Fin Row: M. Finder, C. Kanterman, S. Spatz, J. Arch, M. Lazarus, D. Steckel, R.

Dr. Dorothy McCurry For the second consecutive year Alpha Beta Gamma has one of the largest memberships in the history of the sorority at Pitt. Over one hundred active members sparked the professional elementary education sorority on to an exceptionally active year. The purpose of the sorority is to promote unity among the students of elementary education, foster a wider social and cultural life, and promote fellowship between faculty and administration. A large Christmas party for members, a square dance, and a picnic provide ample entertainment for the year. At monthly meetings speakers such as G. A. Yoakum and George W. Hoffman provided the insight into actual classroom experience for the future educators. In 1904 Alpha Beta Gamma was founded on Pitt’s campus. From the small nucleus of women in the school who then planned to teach in the elementary schools, the sorority has steadily grown to its present capacity membership. This is an indication of the sorority’s ability to recognize the changing needs of its members on campus in the passing school years.

In the month of December pledging followed a busy rushing period. The rushces were entertained at two informal rush parties. The main social affairs of the year were two formal annual dances sponsored by the sorority in January and May.

Kay Sterrett Daniel Scarpiello Joan Sheriack Carl Snyder Dr. Henry Preiser The student affiliate of the American Chemical Society has made rapid strides in the aims of its parent organization, the American Chemical Society. To become a full fledged member of ACS a college degree is necessary, but, nevertheless, students can’take advantage of the facilities open to the graduate members. Events have included movies, talks, and tours through plants. The regional meeting was held this year and was conducted on the same basis as the meetings of the parent organization. This session had representatives from all student ACS chapters in this area. The student chemists read original research papers. With reorganization in mind, more new members have been recruited. This is also the second year for the first ACS newspaper ever written at Pitt. With more interest and more members, Pitt’s chapters of ACS has gone a long way in promoting chemistry among students. Chemistry students arc very careful when measuring in any quantity. At State Hall they practice what they learn in lectures. Kay Sterrett, president of the ACS, prepares a titration set-up.

In spite of its short time on campus, however, the organization has upheld its purpose—to promote and further the professional organization and interest in the chemical engineering field. One way in which it has done $0 is the yearly presentation of an award to the outstanding sophomore in the field. In the Seminar’s program this year, was the use of moving pictures and of professional speakers. In its first year the group heard such noted speakers as Dr. H. C. Carlson of the University faculty and Mr. W. M. Gcrson of E. I. duPont de Nemours and Company, Inc. Also stimulating were the seminar’s field trips to various plants in the area. Last year included in the tour were the Schenley Distillery and the Duquesne Brewery. First Row: W. He , R. Chorba, T. Rice, J. Hall, Dr. J. Coull, M. Harris, E. Wojtkowski. W. Hlavaty, R.

Here the electrical engineers test the efficiency of an induction motor. The goals of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers Seminar are: to encourage young electrical engineers, to keep the students in close contact with the practicing field, and to keep the AIEE’s abreast of the latest developments. In 1915, five seniors, representing the entire class of the School of Electrical Engineering at Pitt, attended the first seminar of the AIEE. Since that time the seminar has steadily grown into one of the most active seminars. The student representation in the chapter this year is near the two hundred mark including all juniors and seniors in the school. The members attend weekly seminar meetings, being granted one-half a credit toward graduation. At these meetings, movies, lectures, and professional speakers arc featured.

DeLco Actually, the American Institute of Industrial Engineers seminar is a combination of two organizations—The Mechanical Engineers and the Institute of Industrial Engineers. Merged as one, the organization has two purposes: to keep the members informed on the advances in the engineering field, and to help the students get the feel of industry. The Seminar of Industrial Engineering celebrates its birthday simultaneously with the school of Industrial Engineering. Both date back to the inception of industrial engineering at Pitt. Relaxing at numerous smokers where everything from football to industry is discussed is a favorite pastime of the engineers. In the spring semester, seminar members all attend the annual Senior banquet. I.ater, the same month, the members and their dates sponsor a picnic party for the association. Finishing their social season in grand engineering style, the men, in conjunction with the F.nginecring and Mines Association, plan the Cinderella Ball.

Mike Rougas V. Pres. Robert A mo re Sec. Richard Mills Treas. Ralph Duffy Adv. A. C. Ackenheil The Civil Engineering Seminar at Pitt docs not stick to the theory of all work and no play. Aside from the regular curriculum, the members of ASCE sponsor picnics for association members and their dates, plus numerous parties. These social events help the seminar members to become well acquainted with each other. Once every week Seminar finds ASCE members attending meetings. Here a member can hear questions and discuss problems pertinent to the field of Civil Engineering. Leading men in the civil engineering field are present to answer those questions and to aid in solving problems. At the various field trips held during the school year seminar members had the opportunity to observe civil engineers at work. The ASCE Seminar at Pitt is not only important in subject matter but also interesting in its social calendar. Through its closely integrated program of study and relaxation, the engineers achieve an adequate scholastic background and a strong spirit of fellowship that are excellent preparations for their future careers. On December 3, the C.F.’s had their annual spaghetti dinner at South Park. The members of the graduating class enjoy a Professor J. B.

This chapel at Fort Lee, Virginia, is a fine example of the religious services offered to army men. The mission of the Army Reserve Officer’s Training Corps is to develop army leaders from the undergraduate men of the University. The ROTC course presents two basic plans which specifically offer preparation for commissions in the Quartermaster and Engineer Corps. However, a student who is anxious to win a commission in some other corps may attend the summer camp of the branch in which he is interested. Under this arrangement, members have also been commissioned in the Signal Corps, Infantry, Finance and Part of the training involves classes in study of town fortifi-cations. Here the men examine a miniature town. Ordinance Corps. During the past summer a number of Pitt students, in attendance at the various Army training camps as a part of the ROTC curriculum, were singled out for honors as outstanding cadets. Among them were Steve Stasko, Eugene Cooper, Edwin I af, Robert Scott, and Francis Pauley. The ROTC course offers the most direct route to a commission in the armed forces for the young man who wishes to prepare himself for positions of responsibility in the service. The army likes to do things the hard way—Pitt ROTC men carry out this belief by climbing a lattice rather than use the first floor doorway! Shoes play a vital part in the dress of army men. These are some of the many styles issued to infantry men. bint Roto: B. Uckinsen, J. I.uttig, E. B. Stuart, J. A. Kelly, F. Mosier, P. DiBartola. Second Row: F. Kcary, M. Rougas, D. Morrison, E.

The Engineering and Mines Association is one of the important organizations up on “the hill.” Every fall, each engineering seminar at the University of Pittsburgh, plus the sophomore and freshman class select two members to form the cabinet. This group of men comprises a student congress for those students who spend so much of their school time in the engineering buildings. All of the seminar members praise the E and M cabinets, past and present, for the many conveniences installed at State Hall for their use. The candy and coke machines, and well furnished lounge provide a special Tuck Shop atmosphere for the engineering students. Main events on the social calendar this year were freshman smokers, bowling parties, picnics, exhibits, and the annual E and 1 Ball. Again through good times and hard work the E and M Association completed another successful year promoting closer relationship between the engineering students. During intermission the fellows and their dates enjoy entertainment provided by the band. Judging from the smiles, it must have been very funny! First Rove: R. Verdcrber, E. W. Williams, K. Crawford.

The organizations purpose is to provide both a spiritual and social program that will compliment the members’ academic achievements. For the first of these, the spiritual program, the association holds special chapel services on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, while highlighting the social program are square dances, semi-formal affairs, and the annual candlelight dinner at which the new officers arc installed. Another highlight of the year is the semi-annual Get-Acquainted Dance, held on the twelfth floor. The Red Tuck Shop has become the customary spot for ESA members to gather for relaxation and conversation over a cup of coffee and a cigarette. The Evening Students held a Get Acquainted Dance, October 13, 19J2, in the Panther Room on the 8th floor. The big crowd had a swell time. Evening Student Association Pres. Emerson Williams V. Pres.

The purpose of the Institute of Radio Engineers at Pitt is to introduce these students to a professional society at a student level so that they can contribute to the field in their own way. This is exactly what the IRE is doing this year but they have really worked harder than ever to put this purpose across. Throughout the year they have had different speakers and movies shown on this field. A meeting which was held in February had students from other schools in the district come and speak on “This Field of Radio Engineering.” An inspection tour at the Westinghousc rounded out the year’s program. Through good times and hard work the Institute of Radio Engineers brought about another successful year, upholding its purposes so that they may go out into their field and do the best job their lives can afford.

Its purpose is to give assistance and guidance to any and all prelegal students in the university so that they can in time adjust themselves to the law school study curriculum. This year, headed by President Allan Reuben, was a full and busy one. It was brought to a close by a banquet held in the Faculty Club with Dean Curry of the University of Pittsburgh Law School as the main speaker. Other events were held at their monthly meetings in which many phases of the law field were discussed. The society strives toward sending men into law school who will conscientiously and intelligently study to try to understand the problems facing them in future years. At the present time, Under the leadership of Professor William E. Sell, the faculty advisor, the society is sending many outstanding men into the field of law.

After the installation service, the K club holds its first social hour. The K Club is one of the youngest fraternal organizations at Pitt, having been founded and organized here in the fall of 1951. Since then the organization has constantly benefited members and students with their compelling school spirit and ambition. During Spring Carnival Week last year the K Club float took second place trophy in the float parade and the members opened a basketball concession at the carnival. K Club formal installation was held at the Villa Catilano pledging thirty men to active participation in a charter membership at Pitt. Since initiation the K Club has sponsored smokers, worked for worthy charities, and planned a social calendar. Their first social event was the Farewell Dinner Dance at Bill Green’s in May. The members have worked hard to make their group a functioning club and arc looking forward to Juno when they will be Kappa Sigma Kappa Fraternity on campus. First Row: J. Sabin, L. Banjanin, J.

Dr. Edward Claus They mix, pour, measure, and crush: pharmacy men learn to like this—it will be their future. Let’s take time out for a rest. So what do the Kappa Psi’s do? They discuss pharmacy! In 1879 a group of students in pharmacy organized Kappa Psi as a professional pharmacy fraternity. The Beta Kappa Chapter of Kappa Psi, since its inception at Pitt in 1913, has endeavored to advance professionalism and fra-ternalism in the field of pharmacy. Kappa Psi is one of the largest professional fraternities in the United States and boasts forty-one active collegiate Chapters. Highlights of the Beta Kappa Chapter is the Almin J. Vavro Award. This honor is intended for the outstanding sophomore student of the school of Pharmacy. The Beta Kappa chapter established this award in memory of a deceased brother. The student who earns the annual award is chosen by a committee of the dean, faculty members, .and chapter members. Outstanding in Kappa Psi’s social year arc the Province Convention and the annual Senior Banquet. By staying close to fraternity aims and participating in an interesting social program, members have maintained the strength and unity of Kappa Psi on campus. First Row: M. Critchficld, D.

Celebrating its twenty-seventh birthday at Pitt, Tau chapter of Kappa Phi Kappa Fraternity enlivened the past year with a successful mixture of business and pleasure. The future teachers of Kappa Phi Kappa gathered to stress scholastic attainment, encourage social activity and promote professional ideals among men in all phases of education. They invited the School of Education to a typical job interview conducted bv a leading school supervisor. Pitt’s Kappa Phi’s welcomed the establishment of a new chapter at Indiana State Teacher's College, and then prepared to play host to the Regional Convention in April. The members of Tau Chapter high-lighted their social calendar with a smoker for junior and senior men of the School of Education, an initiation banquet at the Faculty Club and a gala picnic at North Park in May.

The Non Nomen Club, a comparatively new organization here at Pitt, attempts to promote social and athletic participation within the student body. In both of those fields the Non Nomcn’s have carried out successful programs. First, the Club formed basketball, football, and softball teams which participated in all intramural sports. Continuing the sports theme, the organization held stag parties at which they showed movies of football games. A party at the Elmhearst Inn, a mid-semester scmi-formal dance at the Fort Pitt Hotel, and picnics in North Park made up the social program for the year. As early as a year ago, the Club members had reached such a state of accord that they were able to spend a weekend of fishing, hunting, and hiking at Tio-nesta Camp, Tionesta, Pennsylvania.

Petroleum men learn to combine oils; these three men arc well qualified to work in the petroleum field after graduation. Here, as in many petroleum seminar meetings, the students learn to test the viscosity of oil. Petroleum Seminar Pres. William Leach Sec.-Treas. John Huttig Adv. Paul Fulton The Petroleum Seminar at Pitt is a credited course inaugurated by the Petroleum Department to promote interest in industry. The seminar includes sophomores, juniors, and seniors in a combined student body, which meets every week either for a department or joint seminar. Several speakers were brought in this year to speak on subjects pertaining to the petroleum industry. Working closely with allied fields, the Petroleum Seminar members attended the seventh annual meeting of The American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, meetings of the society of geologists and geophysicists, and many other important talks. Orienting itself into life at Pitt, the Petroleum Seminar, in addition to its sessions, had an active intramural sports program with football, basketball, and softball teams represented. The final event of the year was a picnic early in June held in one of the county parks. Here much was discussed but the main topic of conversation must have been petroleum and the petroleum industry to which men will some day belong. 7 � Pres. V. Pres. Sec. Treas. Adv. Omega L. E.

The Psi Omega’s came to Pitt over fifty years ago and at present boasts a membership of seventy-five. They may well be called the Yankees of intra-mural football for they can point with pride to their record of forty-three consecutive wins and three solid years as all-campus intra-mural champions before they were defeated in the final playoffs of 1952. They arc champions socially, too. They sponsor monthly parties at their house on Bellcfield Avenue, a Christmas and Spring Formal, a May picnic, and a golf outing in June. But probably what the Psi Omega’s are most proud of is the annual Christmas party where underprivileged children are entertained and presented with gifts from Santa himself. First Row: G. Shontz, J.

The first of these prccccding the fall semester was a three day camp session at Camp Kon-O-Kwee where “Y” members helped to orient freshmen with Pitt life. One of the University’s finest projects was the “Y’s” Religion in Life Week which took place in March and featured religions and cultural leaders from all parts of the speaking world to the student body in formal and informal discussions. Frequently the group sponsored community service parties for the entertainment of handicapped children and periodic forums on topics of interest. It was from these forums on Pitt’s Town Meeting that Political Week developed. Besides these projects, the “Y” also sponsored monthly tours of local points of interest, and weekly discussions of biblical material. Because of these and other fine accomplishments, the YMCA finished another successful school year as one of the finest service clubs at Pitt. In the YMCA office the members of the group relax on off hours. Here Paul Schrading reads an article that seems to be of great interest to everyone. The girls meet and relax in the YWCA office; here a few Y” members have an informal committee meeting. With emphasis on a full and creative life for all people through a growing knowledge of God, Pitt’s Young Women’s Christian Association promotes and participates in an almost unbelievable number of activities. They present the impressive “Caritas,” a pageant interpreting the virtues in the lives of the women pictured on the Heinz Chapel windows. A United Nations Institute featured college students from represented nations and was climaxed by the annual International Dinner. They sponsored all-student tours to the Pittsburgh Press, City Jail and Crime Laboratory. Working long hours, the girls collected all types of clothing to be sent to Korea and participated whole-heartedly in Religion-in-I.ife Week. Socially, the girls often combined with the YMCA for Mixer Dances, Christmas parties, and a final farewell picnic in May.

The one service with which most of the students are familiar is the pre-Thanksgiving service held before recess begins. The chapel has been without a permanent chaplain for seven years. Dr. Brittain, who was assistant chaplain, has been looking after things. This year, the University of Pittsburgh was fortunate in securing the services of Dr. Emory Luccock to head the chapel’s activities. Dr. Luccock has returned from China where he was very active in missionary work. 166 Before the Pitt-Pcnn State game the student cheering section was wildly enthusiastic over the prospects of a “Bowl Bid” . . . but then, the smiles rapidly faded as the team glumly made its way off the field after losing a real heart-breaker. To give the team added incentive to win “the big game,” the students formed a tunnel on the field and cheered their hearts out as the boys came from the dressing room. This year the “Coal Scuttle,” symbolic of the rivalry between Pitt and Penn State, goes to Penn State. The “Scuttle” is as coveted an award as the Nobel Prize, and it’s hard for Pitt not to be able to display it among its many trophies. Perhaps next year we will again be able to claim and hold on to it. 167 Mr. Albert Klimeheck, the University architect, designed the new University of Pittsburgh Nationality Room—the English Room—in a traditional English style to capture the atmosphere harmonious with the portions of the bombed House of Commons which came from England to the University, March 13, 1950. Although simple, the design of the room, in its unity, is rich in the poetic atmosphere of Tudor England in the time of Shakespeare. At ihc dedication ceremonies of the English Room, an honorary Doctor’s degree was bestowed upon Alfred Charles Bossom. Mr. Bossom, who is a Member of Parliament, headed the English Room Committee in London, and was originally responsible for the idea of reproducing the English Room around original parts from the House of Commons in London. The procession into the English Room was a colorful and interesting sight to the many spectators that were crowded into the Commons Room. The procession was made up of many notables from both the English government, the University, and other important and influential Pittsburgh residents. 168 Mr. Gerald Firth, Chairman of the American Committee for the English Room, places the medallion from Cambridge University on one of the windows of the room. This is only one of the several trophies and symbols brought to the University from England which add to the realistic and authentic atmosphere of this new Nationality Room. After all the formalities of the presentation ceremonies and dedication were over, a reception was held in the Commons Room for all who had attended. The Nationality Room Hostesses served hot spiced punch to everyone, while the many visitors who had crowded outside the room were allowed to go in and look at the unusual paintings, the high oak ceiling and the panelled fireplace. 169 When it comes to helping out with any worthy cause, you can be sure that the Pitt student body is always willing and ready to do their share. The annual drive conducted by the Red Cross to secure much needed plasma was no exception. Many students proudly wore the little red blood drop and white cross in their lapel. As usual, some of our hearty Pittites passed out— including the chairman of the drive, Isabel Lubovsky. The job of arranging for senior pictures can get pretty complicated and nerve-wracking, but the photographer, the seniors and the Owl always seem to come through. Each student gets his share of individual attention and bright lights. Taking your picture is bad enough, but it’s the proofs that really cause the aggravation. The exclamation: do I really look like that! is the most frequent comment uttered by astonished subjects. ATHLETICS Captain Tom Hamilton Director oj Athletics Athletic Department Brightening next year’s sport scene, Pitt’s Athletic Department has initiated an “extended program” by acquainting high school seniors from the tri-state area with Pitt’s background and sport highlights, in hopes of gaining new sport stars. On the intramural scene, Mr. Bends, the intramural director, has come up with his biggest and best program in athletics for the “non-professionals.” The athletic administration in fielding one of Pitt’s most powerful football teams, attracted national attention and created an exhilarating athletic interest on campus. The department has undoubtedly shown outstanding evidence of captivating the interest of the university students and followers.

Deitrick. One sure sign that Pitt has once more reached the top of the football heap came as two of our three defeats were proclaimed “upsets” by the nation’s press. A clean sweep of the Big Ten warmed Panther hearts as Indiana, Iowa and Ohio State fell with Notre Dame and Army among the victims. A loss to Oklahoma had been expected, but it took our backyard rivals to tame the Panthers; a fired-up West Virginia and an under-rated Penn State managed to blank the jungle cats for those painful upsets. All in all though, the team showed everything the oldtime Pitt teams are said to have had. A devastating ground attack shredded some of the best lines in the country, and the passing game, although spotty, clicked often enough. For the second time in three years Pitt had an undefeated Freshman team—words to cheer any coach who is looking ahead to next year. The Pitt yearlings defeated Army Plebes 19 to 14, Navy Plebes 17 to 6, and Bullis Prep 39 to o. Perhaps even more promising than the scores was the fact that the Panther Cubs came from behind to shut out and win the first two games. 75 First Row: F.. Jones, F.. Hcffcrlc, S. Pctro, L. Dawson.

PITTS ALL-AMERICANS Three members of the squad, two seniors and a sophomore, received well-deserved national recognition, Captain Joe Schmidt, whom many have called as fine a line-backer as any in the pro ranks made the INS first All-American team. He also made the UP All-East team, and Collier’s All-American Specialists Team. Joe then played in the North-South Shrine Clash. Billy Reynolds, the toughest little man in football, who outgained the entire backfields of Indiana, Ohio State, Army, Notre Dame, and North Carolina State, was ig-but opened their eyes later. Schmidt ■■■■ W W WevT o ds Reynolds was a standout on both offence and defense for the great F.ast-W'cst Shrine game In San Francisco, playing 50 minutes in these days of platoons, and scoring the winning touchdown. Then Billy went to Honolulu to play in two games against professional all-stars, and scored in both games to help the collegians win both. Eldred Kraemer was the only sophomore on the Look All-American first team, listed for defense. He also was chosen on the United l’ress all-East team with teammate Schmidt. Kraemer was a standout on both defense and offense all year. VAAred Kraemer 20 4 Billy Hoffman backed away from those three charging Iowa defenders to gain yardage! Pitt Iowa It was complete, but Chet Rice brought him down on the two. The season started out with a bang as Epps and Reynolds punched the Iowa line full of holes on drives of 75 and 72 yards in the second quarter, while Epps scored again on a 54-vard screen pass play in the third. All this after Iowa scored on a Pitt fumble with less than three minutes gone. Mattioli and Jacobs joined in the'seoring. Iowa’s single wing worked well in the first half, but the Pitt line smothered it in the second. Pitt 20 Oklahoma 49 Eighty-five degree heat helped crush the Panthers at Oklahoma, as Pitt without Schmidt and Blanda found it impossible to halt a speedy split-T offense built around the deepest backficld in the country. Still we managed to go into halftime with a 21-13 score after spotting the Sooners three TD’s. Some idea of the Oklahoma power can be gained from the statistics, where they led Pitt by 326 yards to 128 in rushing. Pitt’s own drives were impressive, going 63 yards and then 45 for scores in successive chances. Epps, Reynolds, and Ncft carried over the TD’s. Glen Dillon grabbed the pass for 13 against Oklahoma. It may look impossible, but Bobby Epps w iggled out of this mess and ran for 22 yards. 79 Johnny Jacobs on one of his slashes through the Irish line. The Panthers really bounced back against Notre Dame in one of the season’s greatest games. Billy Reynolds raced 79 yards from scrimmage for Pitt’s first touchdown to let the Irish know they had a real game on their hands. Then Mattioli hit Jacobs for 63 yards and another score. In the second half Notre Dame came back against the worn out Panthers, but Pitt, too, was good for a 50-yard drive, and to clinch it, a safety. Although Captain Joe Schmidt was laid up after the Irish fight, and Army was on the upswing again, Pitt showed itself the class of the East by a dazzling display of single-wing and T-stuff to run up a 22-0 score at the end of the third quarter. Then the Panthers, in the worst physical shape of the season, hung on to take another big game. Running for the injured Epps, Paul Chess played his best game, scoring two TD’s. The dressing room was a slap-happy place after the victory. Reynolds’ block is useless as the Mountaineer line smears Epps. The same story—West Virginia’s defenders were too tough. With Pitt favored by as many as four touchdowns, the underdog and under-rated Mountaineers held the Pitt machine scoreless for the first time this season, and, led by 17-year-old quarterback Fred Wyant, took back a victory to jubilant West Virginia. They even won the battle of statistics equally decisively. Pitt spent a lot of time in West Virginia territory in the first quarter, but never hit pay dirt. After that, the play was seldom out of Panther land. An interception by Wrabley led to some hope, but nothing happened. 16-0! ! ! George GlagoU Hoffman scores easily against Hoosiers. Pitt 28 Indiana 7 A maximum of finesse and a minimum of effort, according to the writers, went into the Pitt victory over Indiana, second Big Ten victim of the year. A great defense, led by Zombeck and Schmidt, held the Hoosiers to minus 2$ yards on the ground. Indiana spent most of the 4th quarter completing passes, but not inside our 20. The first half was marred by penalties, but sparkling running by Reynolds, Mattioli, Epps, and Hoffman, plus fine blocking by Dietrick and Epps kept Pitt way ahead all the way. Bozck couldn't get him, but Fcrgy and Palatclla did. Did Kpps make it this time?—handoff from Ncft. Bobby Epps powers to the OSU 19. Sun-Tele Photo North Carolina State didn't have a chance. Pitt 21 Ohio State 4 Pitt completed its conquest of the Big Ten by smashing Ohio State in a great running game, where a few passes really paid off. Ohio passed themselves silly—in their own territory. A Ford interception and run-back from the Pitt 16 to the State 24 paved the way for the first TD. Most exciting play of the game was a Mattioli-to-Dietrick pass on the Pitt 45, from which Dietrick staggered 55 yards through at least five defenders to score. A short punt finally opened the door to OSU in the 4th. A patented Reynolds solo runback. Pitt 48 N. Car. State 6 Penn State 17 Pitt o His knee scores. Merle DeLuca The tough Penn State line stops Epps. The Pitt powerhouse was running wide open against hapless North Carolina State. The Wolfpack didn’t have a chance as Reynolds, Epps, and Hoffman each scored twice, and Jacobs added a seventh TD. Blanda converted six, to make his season total 18 and tie the Pitt record. Reynolds, again, outgained the entire NC backficld. But the season ended dismally in a shower of crushed orange blossoms as Penn State ran Pitt into the ground on the short end of a 17-0 score. Pitt outgained State on the ground, but between the 35-yard markers, while interceptions stalled every Pitt offensive effort. With the game went bowl, coal scuttle, and “Old Ironsides.” And if they can't stop him, they push him out. Wrestling Largest crowd ever to watch collegiate wrestling in Pittsburgh, 1,937 strong, saw a battle of the undefeated when Pitt’s grapplcrs met Penn State to close the season. Unfortunately, State took the meet, 16-12, to end the Panther winning streak at 16. This was probably the most important college wrestling event of the year, for Pitt had already beaten Michigan’s Big Ten champs, as well as Army, West Virginia, and the tough small school team at Lock Haven. Two teammates went undefeated: Olympic champ Hugh Pccry, 123-poundcr, and Joe Solomon, 167-pound sophomore. Solomon now owns nine straight wins, seven by falls, and Pccry has 23 straight, for a total of 31 wins against one defeat in collegiate competition. Wrestling now rates as Pitt’s top sport, with a record of 33 wins against 19 losses since the sport was re-established in 1950.

As a member of the Greater Pittsburgh League, which includes Tech, Duqucsnc, W J, West Virginia and California Teachers, Pitt finished in a tie for first place in 1952, dropping the shoot-off to West Virginia. Sending two teams to the National Rifle Association match last spring, the Panthers placed third and fifth, but William Noroski and Thomas Shepard, of Pitt, took first and second place in the meet. The major part of the riflemen's schedule is occupied by “postal matches,” in which scores are fired for record against other teams who participate by mail. In these matches, Pitt defeated 15 teams, was outscored by 8, including Navy, I.chigh, U. of California, Wyoming, Maryland, Tennessee and Stanford.

Putting a 12-11 won-lost chart in the record book, the Pittmen out-scored, out-shot (percentagewise), and out-rebounded their opponents, committed fewer fouls, and fell behind only at the frec-throw line. In fact, with only five teams defeating us by more than seven points, a better percentage at the foul line might well have put the Panthers up with the top teams of the country. Once known as “ice cream eaters,” Carlson’s men this year made the pages of LIFE with their oxygen tank, a new wrinkle in Doc’s longtime experiments with the fatigue curve. The team also helped in some experiments with the new foul rules, but less successfully, as Ohio State won the experimental game at the foul line.

As usual a small fast team, the Pittmen ran and shot more than ever in recent years for an average of 69 points per game, and bumped seldom into trouble of big men. Don Virostek, at 6 , was the big man this year, and his rebounding was a big factor in Panther success. Close behind came Captain Mickey Zernich, high scorer and lightweight of the team, who outran and outjumped most of his opposition to sink a total of 309 points; This put Zernich second only to the great Chipper Cholly Hyatt with a three-year total of 845 points; another record not to be slighted is Don Virostek’s rebounding: he was fifth in the nation. Other sharpshooters were Clarence Burch, Dick Die-trick, and Art Boyd, ably seconded by Dave 190 Dutch Burch sails under the bucket for an easy lay-up against Westminister. Dutch being congratulated by his happy teammates, when, after running the clock down to the last second in the Second West Virginia game, he pushed a thirty footer through the cords to win the game 67-65. Don Virostck leaps high to loop one in against grounded Mountaineers. Duessel, Chester Palesko, and Bill Ruschel. Scholarship reared its stately head, no uncommon sight, of course, around Carlson teams, as Boyd was tapped to Phi Beta Kappa. The season started without too much promise, with a road loss to Michigan, a win over Westminster in the home opener, and then two close ones, a defeat by Miami and a win over Ohio University, by one and two points respectively. The team looked good, but wasn’t always winning. Another loss, to Ohio State, went by before the Ivy League handed us three easier games. The Panthers took a 4-4 record cast with them, and bumped into some real homer officials at Penn—after leading all the way we lost in overtime. Then came the highest scoring spree in Pitt history as the Panthers knocked off Geneva, 97-75- Mickey Zcrnich seems to sit on a Mountaineers shoulder while he puts this one in. A one-point squeeze over favored Penn State and a romp over Carnegie Tech virtually insured a winning season but didn’t help us against West Virginia, though, as the Mountaineers poured on 95 points to Pitt’s 70. Another victory over Westminster started the winter road trip, which saw victories go to St. Louis and Loyola, by two and three points, and Navy, with only a win over Houston sandwiched in. Then came sweet revenge over West Virginia back at home, another loss to Ohio State and another win over Tech. Finishing the season away, the Panthers in turn fell victims to revenge-hungry teams. The district’s hottest team, Geneva, trimmed us neatly 81-66, and the Panthers closed the season by proving that Penn State is unbeatable at home, 73-53.

Hampered by the loss of ace back-Stroker and captain, Don Fanning, the Panther mermen nevertheless showed several flashes of form which made the picture less gloomy. Fred O’Nions set a new ECSA record in the individual 150-yard medley, and Gerry Weiss and Ronny Gainsford both set new Pitt records in the 220-and 440-free style, and 200-yard breaststroke, respectively. Gainsford set the third fastest mark in the country this winter. F.CSA champs of ’52 Tom Blosser in diving and Bill Corr in sprints, helped Gainsford (also an ECSA record holder) keep Pitt definitely in the running for eastern honors, along with the always dangerous relay team of Harry Piwowarski, Dick Peterson, Gerry Weiss and Bill Corr.

Bob Kyle led in hits for the season with 15 and 2 big homcruns for a .300 mark. Ollie Niemela combined 12 RBI’s and errorless ball with 20 chances for a standout performance. Harry Little made a mark in center field by making good on 24 errorless chances. As the records go, Joe Scalzo, Panther first baseman, made about the best showing with 97 putouts without an error and 15 runs probably boosted with his 7 stolen bases. Rudy Filek at 3B must have acted like Eddie Stanky in pulling 8 walks through the season. Dick Shannon, in pitching 34% innings for a 2- 1 record, struck out 35 men and also gets the credit for the only shutout of the season. Bob Russell had the only clean slate as he issued no bases on balls and struck out 10 in 12 innings. Don Shanafelt found the only extra inning game, that against W. Va., but came out on top. He carried a 3- 1 record for 33% innings pitched. Although Pitt just bounced through the win-loss columns like a rubber ball, better things should be appearing on the horizon. First Rote: R.

Banana boats added a festive air to the broiled burgers and pop. “I’m glad we went to WRA’s Freshman Party,” said freshie Arlene Morrisey. “The mixer square dances were such fun and the food . . . out of this world! Wasn’t that sucker doll I won in the second contest a cute prize,” added Audrey Stewart. “I’m going to insist that all my girl friends go to the next fun and frolic nights and the swimming party.” WRA finished the year with a day of games and sports at the field house with girls from many other district colleges attending the affair.

Originally called by the university athletic director, Captain Tom Hamilton, this meeting was the start of a new student group to promote intramural athletics at Pitt. One of its aims was to merge the professional schools with the College for a more solidified intramural program. This year’s intramural events ran smoothly, with a greater percentage of participation on the students’ part than ever before. Thanks to the foresight of Mr. I-eo Bemis, Intramural Director, and Captain Hamilton, we can look ahead to an expanded and well directed program again next year.

The club promoted better school relations by ushering the high school guest athletes to a reserved section at football games, sponsoring dances after several basketball games, and planning the varsity day program.

Strangely enough, none of them are studying to be musicians. They practice eight hours a week, play at reviews and football games, attend classes and receive practical experience in working daily with the other band members. The spirit of the band is fraternal in nature because they have to perform as a team, not individuals. They share experiences such as marching in the mud, sitting in the stand when the temperature is down around the twenties, and sharing a seat in the bus on a Michigan State trip. Every summer the entire organization spends a week at Camp Kon-O-Kwec. Days there begin with eight o’clock breakfast and drill on the field until after dark. Members have blueprints of different formations and each man must know his ever important number. Behind the scenes the managers are the “work horses” of the organization. Their chief duty is to move instruments to and from the games. They contribute a great deal to the smooth operation of performances even though they don’t play instruments themselves. The Stadium Review in December is a concert all members look forward to ... and the party-following the review ... is just as tremendous as the review. Belonging to the band is getting up Saturday mornings for 9x20 rehearsal, marching until your arms and legs ache, and trying to find time to study, but it’s great, ask any band member. Animated formations, like this swinging bell, characterize the Pitt Band's progressivcncss in establishing a pattern for college bands all over America. The band plays and sings its famous version of “Hail to Pitt at the end of all pre-game shows. “Ace Arthur brings the band into action at one of their many camp rehearsals. Benny Bcnack, assistant director of VMB, is a shining example to all trumpeters. The band, the glee club, and RCA Victor recording Company have cooperated to make these records available to the student body and to the public. 219 “The Bandsman of the Year Award,” presented annually by Kappa Kappa Psi to the man getting the most votes from the band members. A waltz done in three quarter time, complete with tricky steps and special musical arrangements, is presented for the public’s approval. m m.iJuimY Tiny lead soldiers, proportionately scaled to the gridiron, arc manipulated through various positions before a new formation is drawn.

We want to have it perfect before Mr. Sterne gets back.” The Aspinwall concert was just one of many the girls gave this year. They had a lovely program for Beaux Arts Day and they sang for the Women’s Day and Mothers’ Day Chapel Services in Heinz Chapel. And Women’s Choral is always asked to sing for several of the Pittsburgh church services. What would Christmas at Pitt be like without the traditional informal caroling in the Commons Room, wondered Teresa Seboly as she waited for some other members of the group to join her there. Amidst the decorated Christmas trees and glowing fires the students joined in singing the beloved old songs, led by the Choralers, of Women’s Choral. First Row: L. Dollhopf, A. Bartirone, P.

Besides the songs on their current agenda they sang traditional college songs like “Halls of Ivy” or “The Whiffen-poof Song” and “The Songs of Pitt” which they recorded for the school. “With this International Contemporary Music Festival coming up we’ve lots of work to do,” said president Bob Graule. “The Drinking Song” by Vaughn Williams and “We Fight Not For Glory” from “The Testament of Freedom” by Randall Thompson were the Men’s Glee Club’s contribution to the festival, which featured modern songs by unknown American and foreign composers. The boys who presented the program, as well as those music lovers who heard the singing, found great pleasure in the varied program of new songs.

As soon as the final curtain falls on one performance it’s time to paint scenery and practice for the next production. Constantly competing with Carnegie Tech’s drama department, Pitt Players as an extra-curricular activity, has as its purpose the production of good theatre and experience in the techniques of theatre art. To participate in the Pitt Players the student must be a full time undergraduate and have satisfactory participation in two fields. Field A includes acting, business, publicity, make-up and sound. Field B includes scenery, costumes, lights, stage and property. To retain active membership, a player must be active in at least two productions during the school year. Plays this year included “The Time of Your Life,” “The Heiress” with “Billy Budd” being produced in the Spring. In January, as a special project, the Players produced “Promethus in Pittsburgh” by Lawrence Lee; this was the first staging of this dramatic poem in Pittsburgh. The annual June banquet is another big production by the student players. New members are received into the Players and old members are awarded keys for outstanding participation, proving that for Pitt Players, “the play’s the thing.” First Row: H. Klein, J.

To belong to the Heinz Chapel Choir is to gain fifty close life-time friends. Beginning in September with four wonderful days of camping, eating and singing at Camp Lambec on Lake Eric, and continuing through the year with rehearsals on the 31st floor, the members of H.C.C. were bound together in a common purpose of making music. This year will be long remembered by the choir members: they had the honor of singing the world premiere of Ross Lee Finney’s “Immortal Autumn” in the International Contemporary Music Festival; they sang for the English Room dedication; and in addition to the annual spring tour they sang many concerts for local groups in one of the heaviest schedules the choir has ever had. At a picnic at “Pop’s” farm, the choir assembled for the last time in the 1952-53 season. Volleyball, swimming, and baseball filled the afternoon hours. But as the sun was setting, the members drew together and sang ’til they could sing no more. As their voices echoed through the mountains Dr. Finney again could say, “We have been together for a time in pastures green.” First Row: A. Stinson, N. Creasy, H. Ireland, B. McCollough, P.

Although there arc definite talent requirements for membership, the most important qualifications are a love of music and a desire to sing. Pitt Singers is made of members who meet all these requirements. Under the direction of David G. Weiss the group had quite a busy year. Among the most important events in the Pitt Singers’ calendar were concerts and special programs. The group gave a performance at the Choral Jubilee along with the other singing groups on Campus; gave their Annual spring concert at Carnegie Music Hall; then rounded out the year with a concert tour in the local area. This busy year was properly climaxed by the annual banquet at which the active singers received their reward—a key—that they will long cherish as a reminder of a wonderful year in Pitt Singers. The members of Pitt Singers concentrate on their singing in preparation for their spring concert. Pitt Singers Pres. James Fallon V. Pres. Anna May Bartirome Rec. See. Carol Aske Bus. Mgr.

The need for a better method of registering the many Pitt students each semester has presented a major problem to University officials. This January cards and kits went out almost a full two weeks ahead of the actual registration. Much time and energy were saved and with a few changes, this new type of pre-registration may become permanent. Perhaps the most picturesque scene in January was the Chapel blanketed by a soft snow fall. The wintery carpet of white sprinkled over the campus like powdered salt.

Dorothy Miller happily wears her victory tiara while her ladies-in-waiting smile with her even though in defeat. Left to right the amiable losers arc: Irene Levine, Lonnie Cinquegrani, Anna Mae Pagano, Marjorie Wright, the queen, and Janet Sopher. This year three of the University of Pittsburgh’s outstanding choral groups; Women’s Choral, Men’s Glee Club and Pitt Singers combined to put on a large Choral Jubilee. This year’s program was very well received as the especially receptive audience shows. Seems as though January is the month of song throughout the school. Pitt women do their best to capture first place in the annual Inter-Class Sing. This year the seniors copped the prize with their version of “Seniorella.” With the semester’s end not very far away, the Women’s iath Floor typewriters are busily occupied. Those term papers have just got to be done! Typing term papers often proves to be an easier task than studying for finals. Before that deciding exam, the concentration and consternation of students can be seen everywhere. This is it! The books arc closed and let’s hope memory doesn’t desert us now. A meeting of Student Congress is held at Dean Biddle's home. Student Congress After Pitt’s triumphant victories over Notre Dame and Army, more high school students flocked to the stadium to see their favorite college team play West Virginia. Anxious to make the visitors feel more at home, members of Student Congress and YVSGA volunteered to greet the high schoolers and distributed mimeographed copies of Pitt songs and cheers. The students made a LOUD cheering section. At the game many Pittites were surprised to hear the high school bands playing “Hail to Pitt.” This was another idea of Student Congress in conjunction with Druids. They printed and sent out copies of the song to all local high schools to promote better public relations. The Blood Bank came to Pitt in November sponsored by the Congress members. There were many students and faculty members wearing “I Gave” tags for two days. The local governing group played an important part in the numerous controversial issues this year concerning the welfare of their fellow students. One debate that gained a great deal of publicity was the question of permitting wives of football players and students to sit in the reserved student section and permission for reduced rates for those husbands and wives who did not attend school. Pres. Jack Burwinkel V. Pres. Gene Rock Sec. Jean Hill Treas. Danny Berger Adv. Charles Elliott Deep in thought, members of Student Congress study the plans for the coming year. After numerous ideas and suggestions arc made, the Social Committee tries to come to a decision. The Christmas dance committee finally agreed on plans for the December formal annually held in the Commons Room. 236 Fostering social as well as political life, Student Congress sponsored four student dances this year. The Commons Room Ball, a fitting climax to the Christmas festivities, was a huge success. Dozens of bedecked Christmas trees and even a student Santa Claus added to the gay evening. The biggest project that Student Congress governs during the year is Spring Carnival Week. It is the duty of members to keep things running smoothly and see that everyone has a lot of fun. They worked with the fraternity and sorority members and accomplished a tremendous job. The Main Ball on Friday Night during Festival Week was the grand climax to carnival and another school year. Congress presented gold cups to the top shows during the carnival and promised bigger and better things for next year—confirming the fact that they’re true politicians. The executive committee meets in Mr. Elliott’s office to discuss the problem of more women to be admitted to Student Congress.

The Women’s Self Government Association was one of the best fed groups on campus this year. For every commission meeting a different committee planned, prepared, and served a dinner for the group and its advisers and guests. The committees not only learned to cook and to use the twelfth floor kitchen but they set the tables, decorated the room, and washed and dried the dishes afterward with the help of anyone who happened along. WSGA started a class in crocheting this year, and after weeks of chainstitching on a ball of thread the girls had made a lovely tablecloth for the Braun Room. To help acquaint the freshmen women with T hese girls arc ready to give information about the twelfth floor to any freshman or upperclassman. Pitt’s activities WSGA fostered the guilds and helped the senior mentors. At the end of the program a guild-customs dinner was held and when the frcshics had passed their customs test they were entertained at a tea where they received their panther pins. Under the eye of the traditions committee the Inter-Class Sing was carried out. The theme this year was fairy talcs: freshmen portrayed “The Pifd Piper”; sophomores, “Snow White”; juniors, “The Three Bears”; and seniors, “Cinderella.” At Pitt, women arc considered equal with the men and it was only fitting therefore to let the girls have an opportunity to turn about and ask the boys out; the Heart Hop gave just that chance. Table decorations are planned and made by the Social Committee. After the successful Chancellor’s Open House sponsored by Senior Court, the girls thank Dr. Fitzgerald for his gracious hospitality. Steve Passamanek cannot decide whether to remain with the boys or move to the Panther Room for a fast game of ping pong.

They circle his neck with a blue and gold tie and make threats if he doesn’t wear it always. Then they shove him in front of a vast football crowd to pull on a rope against the sophomores so he can take the tie off. If Freddie wants a used book he goes to the Men’s Council Bookstore on the eighth floor. When Freddie goes to a freshman mixer dance he sips cider and dances to records furnished by his teacher, pal, friend, and master—Men’s Council. Freddie soon learns the value of money and when he finds himself short of cash, MC Student Ixjan Fund is more than willing to help him out. If he has a check for less than $5.00 he can cash it at MC cashing service. Should Freddie want to play ping pong or cards or just relax, he can go to the men’s lounge on the eighth floor maintained by Men’s Council. Through Council he is able to sec movies of Pitt’s football games. The members of MC are on their toes constantly—always lending a helping hand to Freddie P'reshman. First Row: L. Guarascio, B.

The Phi Ep’seame through collecting the most canned food for St. Barnabas Home and the GAR Home at Thanksgiving. “How many here have ever beep inside the downtown YWCA?” asked Dick Roman with a mile-wide grin on his face. “If you haven’t, you soon will be,” added Lud Lippert at a meeting of Inter-Fraternity Council, “because we are going to paint some of the rooms for the girls.” And in December they did just that. With a little help from- some of the girls the boys mixed the paint and artistically spattered it on the walls. At Thanksgiving the frats collected canned food for the St. Barnabas Home and the GAR Home. Phi F.p’s collected the most but two of their boys were arrested for collecting food without a permit. The Inter-Fraternity athletic program got off to a great start in the fall. Many outstanding football games were played up at Schenley Oval and the Delta Tau Delta’s turned out to be top team this year, walking away with the championship. Greek Week sponsored jointly by IF Council and Panhellcnic Council in the fall featured a progressive dance at the different fraternity and sorority houses. IF also included many socials and smokers during the year, but their biggest affair was the traditional IF formal where the queen of all fraternities was crowned. This girl is chosen from all of the fraternities’ sweethearts during the year.

Freshmen women were introduced formally to all the different sororities on campus during the program and afterwards, in the Blue Tuck Shop, they met the girls infor- mally. The music was provided by the PanHel Choir, two girls representing each sorority. And the director, Dorothy Jacob, took a deep sigh of relief after all the songs were sung—long hours of practice had paid off! The sorority girls at Pitt don’t need to worry about I-eap Year because every March there is the PanHel formal Ball and the girls invite the boys. This Ball honors the pledges of each sorority and they are all presented with pretty white gardenias by the Council. In the spring of the year Audrey Cohen was busy working with Interfraternity Council planning the PanHel-IF Sing.

Winifred Johnson Sec. Ruth Ann Isaacs Trcas. Beatrice Paul Adv. Mrs. Ann Wcttlaufcr Under the leadership of Betty Klein, the senior cabinet met in the Polish Room to discuss future Senior Seminars. With three years of exciting college life behind them, the members of the Women’s Class of ’53 made their senior year the most unforgettable. Their first get-together was the Senior Soda Social. Highlight of the gathering was a hilarious skit by a group of fellow seniors. Ixx k-ing at the present and into the future the Women’s Class of ’53 sponsored a series of Senior Seminars. Uppermost in their minds was who would be Senior Queen. But up came the Intcrclass Sing and everyone busied herself to make their last bid in the popular Sing the most successful. The long-awaited Tap Day finally came and with it was the applause and congratulations that are plentiful when Her Highness and the Alma Mater are named.

Mrs. Batz The Junior Class takes time out to look over some of the events they have presented in the past. What a year this has been for the Juniors! A luncheon, a dinner, a western get-together and perhaps the crowning achievement, their own Junior song, combined to make two semesters of fun and happy memories for the Class of ’54. It all began with the Junior Roundup. The Juniors westernized the twelfth floor with ten-gallon hats and bright plaid shirts. Then came the buffet luncheon before Christmas. Between 11 :oo and 1 :oo, so that all could come, the Juniors spent an unforgettable afternoon together. Never tiring of eating, the Juniors invited their nursing school classmates to join in the Junior Dinner. With President Doris Hart as toastmistress, the class of ’54 gathered for the last time as Juniors to close out their third thrilling year at Pitt. And mixed with the memories of the luncheon and dinner will be recollections of the Inter-Class Sing, the Heart Hop and many, many more activities. Doris Hart discusses financial problems with the other members of the Junior Class Cabinet. bint Row: J. Danovitz, Z. Rubinstein, M. Benkoski, R. Tolino. Second Row: M. Blumcnthal, A. Longridge, N.

Miss Savina Skcwis There are neither Democrats nor Republicans in the cabinet of the Women’s Class of 1955. What’s the theme for this month?’’ President Maryrose Benkoski may ask at one of the meetings. Then the suggestions for the theme of the monthly class mixer come thick and fast. Or the question might be about the menu of the class dinner: Veal chops would be nice,” Audrey Longridge, treasurer, may suggest: “What about chicken?” asks V.P., Roscnclla Tolion. Veal chops? Chicken? Ham? Or maybe even steak! But no matter what is on the menu it’s bound to be good; for the sophs have Miss Savina Skcwis, Assistant Director of the University Food Service, as Cabinet Adviser. Add to the agenda a class picnic, and the Cabinet of the Women’s Class of ’55 had a busy schedule working to unite the sophomores in a year of fun. The girls arc trying to decide which would be more appetizing for coming class dinner—veal, chicken or maybe steak. Suggestions are being made by the cabinet members for a suitable theme to be used in the monthly class mixer. Before the meeting the girls chat about men, sorority rushing, and last week's exams. Freshman Council go over their script for the skit for the Inter-Class Sing. Freshman Council “The Freshman Council serves as the coordinating group for the activities of the freshman women. It considers questions of general interest to all freshman women. It is the body that decides the freshman class policies.” This is the definition of Freshman Council as it is listed in the Vadc Mecum, and this year the Freshman Council was a group of thirty-six girls who put these definitions into real actions. When girls first enter the University they arc new and very strange. Through deans’ conferences the girls become acquainted with each other and meet some of the upperclassmen who help to initiate them into their four years of college life. During the month of September, Dean Rush sponsored a dinner for the Freshman Council, girls chosen form the thirty-six deans’ conference groups. These girls on the Council act as a connecting link between deans’ conferences. At Inter-Class Sing, the freshman women compete with the upperclass women in originality and talent. This year they had as their chairman and counselor Rosemarie Fcil, vice president of WSGA. At the end of their freshman year the council girls nominate their sophomore class officers, and have the feeling that they arc now full Hedged Pittites. First Row: M. Devlin, A. Paramenko, R.

A new semester starts and the familiar pattern once more takes shape. Handy references like the College Outline Series and the Card Catalogue are in constant use and demand. It is very fortunate for Pitt students that the University bookstore provides these guiding outlines in almost all subjects and that the library is able to provide such an extensive backlogue of material for student use. Each year all the fraternities of the University of Pittsburgh hold a joint Inter-fraternity Ball. This time, as in past years, each fraternity selected a girl who was their candidate for the title of Sweetheart and Queen. Anna Mae Pagano was this year’s queen and received a lovely radio along with her flowers and title. The awarding of the Pledge Scholarship is another feature of the annual Inter-fraternity Ball. The awarded plaque signifies that this year Phi Epsilon Pi had the pledge class with the highest scholastic averages. Ronald Ecker receives the award for his fraternity. 250 The basketball season was a very lively one. Helping to make it even more so were the events held at the half. During the Pitt-Tech game a rugged tug of war was held. Another half-time activity that caused a great deal of interest was the basketball game between Men’s Council and the Student Congress during the West Virginia game. Note the unusual uniforms. February is the month of the final rushing affairs and it ends with a great many happy smiles and of course the much sought after bid. In contrast to the limited membership of the sororities and fraternities, is the Independent Association which has no limited quota. All students arc welcome to join and here they get acquainted at one of their many social events of the year. 251 Valentine’s Day is the cue for Pitt to sponsor the annual Heart Hop. Many students turn out for the dance especially to see who will be chosen this year’s King and Queen of Hearts. The lucky couple for 1953 arc Elynnedd Pool and her King Bob Timmons. A large crowd gathered in the Commons Room for the Convocation which was held as a part of Religion In Life Week. During the week, many different speakers were presented. I -eft to right arc shown Dr. Janies Robinson of Church of the Master, N. Y.; Joseph Marasco student chairman of the Religion In Life program; Richard R.

Audrey Stewart, looking on, was an invaluable part of Don’s Fine Arts Staff. The night before deadline the 8th floor hallway is just as crowded as the Owl office. Here six of the section editors discuss what Danny Berger can do with two unevenly divided fraternity group shots. Panic sets in the Owl office! Dahlia Kara is looking for a lost sports clipping and Joan Franz is helping Dotty Hudson and Gerry Kohn look for a missing picture. Just some more deadline dilemnas! For about fifty students here at Pitt the word “deadline” hung overhead like a black cloud until March 17, when the 1953 Owl went to press. These students worked long and late with little praise and less compensation in order to record a year’s events for the Owl. The black cloud was personified in Editor Barbara Millen and Business Manager Karl Meyers, who heckled, begged, screamed, and prayed for the staff to meet the deadline.” Faced with increased expenses in printing and covers, a loss of revenue from the medical school and a reduction in senior enrollment which affected the circulation, Karl Meyers and his small staff handled the tough problem of financing the Owl. Mark Friedman, Circulation Manager, tackled the problem of having to sell Owls to a greater percentage of seniors than ever before in order to compensate for the reduction in enrollment and to satisfy the budget. With an effective publicity campaign which included Owl antics during the halftimes of football games and a race to the 36th floor conducted by Publicity Managers Robert DeBroff and William Stept, the problem of circulation was solved. By extending the local campaign, Marvin Leiber and Richard DeBroff, Advertising Managers, were able to exceed the budget in selling ads. Handling the sales of organizations by himself, Alan Skirboll did an excellent job of contacting and soliciting organizations. He, too, went over the top in meeting the goal established in the budget. Harvey Rabinowitz, Assistant Business Manager, helped this small but efficient staff keep the budget balanced and Karl happy.

McWright, M. Jackson, L. Ifft. Gloria Hencghan, Managing Editor, was the editor’s friend in need as well as the staff's. Here she puts her hands to the typewriter and comes through with the needed copy. Jack Caldwell, Mr. Photographer of the Owl, spent most of the year squinting at people be-hind lenses. When he wasn’t squinting, he was straining to see in the dark room. Comptroller for the Owl as well as the Skyscraper Engineer, Jim Alstcr kept the records straight for all of us. Phyllis Kephart checks one of the thousands of photo assignment sheets which passed through her hands while Chuck Seaton looks on for the explosion when Kcp discovers there arc three pictures scheduled for t :oo—and all the photographers arc in class. Plans and layouts for the Owl were drawn up during the summer by Editor Barbara Millen, with the assistance of Gloria Heneghan, Managing Editor. With the first week of school the editorial staff began work. Joan Franz distinguished herself by meeting a deadline all by herself. Joan sent in the first sixteen pages of her sorority section in October completing the first deadline. Taking nearly fifteen hundred pictures, the small photography staff headed by Jack Caldwell was haunted with photo assignment sheets given them by Phyllis Kephart, Photo-Editor. With the idea that livelier copy would increase student reader-ship, Joan Stigers, Literary Editor, tried to make the copy as appealing as possible. As fast as Joan could turn out copy, Cynthia Abeftiian, the Owl's record breaking head typist, typed it to be sent to the printer. Don Gwillim whose every other sentence was, “But Barb, I made the picture assignments!” took over the Fine Arts section in the middle of the year and in spite of this handicap, did a remarkable job. Another difficult assignment, the Organization Section, was handled by Dahlia Katz. With no previous experience in yearbook production work, Dahlia learned quickly and proved to be a capable editor. In addition to helping Dahlia, Joe Banik, the Owl staff humor man, performed the unheard of feat of keeping Barb laughing. In January, when the portrait pictures, over a thousand of them, came, the whole staff began pasting pictures to help Dotty Hudson, Classes Editor, with her section. The staff celebrated the making of that deadline with a shower for Dotty who left in February to be married. With little help from anyone, Danny Berger did a wonderful job with the fraternity section; Danny concentrated on getting pictures of frat affairs, and with the cooperation of the photograhpy staff, who sacrificed many Friday and Saturday evenings to take pictures, was able to get a good coverage of fraternity affairs. Karl Meyers and Harvey Rabinowitz discuss with the business staff how Mark Friedman can sell 300 more books so that the Ovl won't end up in the red. In addition to handling the athletic section, a pesky assignment in itself, Chuck Suprock learned to take pictures in order to help out the undermanned photography staff. Doris Sccor did all of the art work in the book and helped with many of the special layouts. In order to get a complete and accurate coverage for the special picture stories, Shirley Schiffman watched the bulletin boards and Pitt News faithfully. As office manager, Clare Cooper took care of exchange books and collecting questionnaires from organizations-a real headache Clare discovered. As handy man around the office and chief paster of pictures, Paul Gilliland moved from staff to staff giving assistance wherever needed. These students, with the aid of their small staffs, frustrated by missing pictures, negatives, names and questionnaires, plagued by school work undone, deviled by jangling alarm clocks, hindered by colds and flu, and saddened by family deaths managed to meet every deadline so the Owl could once again come out on time. When the portraits came back from Chidnoff's, Paul Gilliand became chief picture paster, and if it hadn’t been for his persistence and patience there would have been one deadline missed. Dotty Hudson, Class Editor, spent most of Christmas vacation looking for missing pictures, but in spite of the seeming impossibility of keeping track of over a thousand pictures and names, Dotty did it—and in the final check the section was in perfect order. The typing and special section staffs combine their efforts and relaxation. The Pitt News These reporters are hard at work typing the copy to be used in the News. John Kulamcr Editor Dave Green decides to make a few changes in some of the copy. The Pitt News went into the Fall semester shooting for its ninth straight ACP All-American Award. Under Editor-in-Chief John Kulamer, a hoard of seven assistant editors and a staff of 40 reporters and production personnel took on the job of bringing before Pitt’s undergraduate students the highlights of the daily goings on at Skyscraper U. By far the biggest news break was the rise of the Panthers to pre-eminence on the national football scene. Reporter Russ Franke’s colorful accounts of the team in training and on the playing fields earned him the plaudits of many-professional sports writers. Sports Editors Boris Weinstein travelled with the team on many away games, and besides bringing back material for his twice weekly columns, did service as a spotter for Sportscastcr Ray Scott on the side. John Kulamcr, Boris Weinstein, and Nancy Cook discuss a completed edition of the Pitt News. The members of the business staff talk over new methods for obtaining better distribution. Stanley Goldmann Business Manager Other highlights that kept News staffers hopping were Political Week, anti the weekly doings of the various student government bodies. Earning special praise for good, sharp reporting were staffers Dave Green, John De Ninno, Elinorc Stone, Barbara Schwartz, and Nancy Cook. Meanwhile, the business staff, under the direction of Business Manager Stanley Goldmann kept the financial wheels of the News turning smoothly. While Comptroller Alan Ziegler kept tabs on the purse strings, Advertising Manager Jerry Froimson took over the job of ad selling and layout. Jack Greenberg, as circulation manager, had charge of distributing the News on publication days, and Jerry Schulberg managed the classified section. First Rote: T. Kovar, I. Lubovsky, H. Huston, B.

Gene Weinstein, Editor Gene gives Helen a few pointers on setting up one of the layouts. The Panther Gerry, Jane, anti A1 proofread a copy of the Panther before sending it to the press. The Panther magazine, long known for its spicy brand of humor, underwent a complete transformation this year. The spring issue of last year’s Panther, a parody of True Confessions, evoked student and administrative action that resulted in the banning of the magazine. A few weeks later, the Publications Board established a new magazine which was to be “photo-feature” and “non-satirical” in nature. Gene Weinstein, sports editor of the old Panther, finally ended up in the editor’s chair of the new magazine, while Dan Purdy, another member of the Edgewood Gang, was promoted from his circulation manager’s job of the previous year to become business manager. Weinstein and Purdy claimed that they would operate under the slogan, “Dan and Gene will keep it clean.” Jay tries his hand at drawing a front page cover for the next issue. Richard dictates some last minute copy to Jane, who is quite a typist. Dan Purdy, Business Manager Many students lamented the passing of the ribald humor, while others favored the new product over the old. Whatever the reaction was, almost everyone agreed that the new magazine was new. The emphasis was focused on photo-stories and articles about the school. Some of the articles in particular, aroused considerable student comment. The bulk of the photo-stories were handled by A1 Horowitz, while Dick Price, the managing editor, had general charge of lay-out work. Joan Seiner, the Panther's nominee for the best looking editor on the 8th floor, headed the art department, and Jack Davcy, a refugee from the Pitt News, headed sports. Advertising climbed to a new high under Joe Trattner. Don Ringness directed the sorority girls who periodically peddle the mag at the doors. Mort Perl rounded out the big three of the business staff, filling the comptroller’s post. First Row: A. Horowitz, J. Davcy, J. Seiner, G. Weinstein, D. Price. Second Row: M. Sherer, G. Ash, D.

Arthur Hcrshkowitz Co-Editor William Vogt Co-Editor The old adage that two heads are better than one was well tested this year on the Skyscraper Engineer, as co-Editors Art Hcrshkowitz and Bill Vogt led a small but efficient staff of engineers in putting out four editions of the magazine. The second complete year for the Skyscraper found the magazine an established campus institution, more than fulfilling the hopes of the E M Association, the Publications Board, and other early friends and sponsors of the publication. Although sold chiefly through the seminars in the schools of Engineering and Mines, the magazine was widely read at Pitt, and had an exchange and mail circulation which carried the name of Pitt and abilities of its students over the entire country. Such articles as “Underground Gasification” made popular reading, only exceeded by the ever-present joke page. These two boys try their hand at pasting layouts for their next issue. The new headquarters and editorial offices behind the Pitt News on the eighth floor of the Cathedral brought the staff down off the hill with the other publications, which proved of great help to Bill McCoy, Managing Editor, and his production staff—Bill Rimmell and Cas Bazis— working out the page plans of Layout Editor Edgar Daer. The regular features in the maga- zine: ‘‘Progressions,” “Skycapers,” ‘‘State’s Men,” and all, were handled by Irv Spangler, Features Editor. Paul Cannon’s camera was responsible for the covers and a good bit of the inside photography, and Dick Ryabik joined the staff to bring in that artist’s touch which kept those black and whites from going grey.

Easy to take for Pharmacy students is the Pin Capsule, monthly voice of the Pharmacy School students. A neat lithographed magazine, edited by Ray Dcssy and Dennis Karlheim, the Capsule is the monthly publication of the student branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association at the University. As such, it reports current professional news and activities for the practicing pharmacist as well as student life. Monthly features with high readership are the “Greeks’ Corner” for the professional pharmacy fraternities and sororities, “Detailing Briefs,” a column keeping up to date with the latest in therapeutics, and, of course, “Alumni News” and “Pharmacy In Other I.ands.” A recently begun series, “Meet Your State Board” and “Pa Pitt’s Pharmacists” together have brought interesting articles on members of the Board and the many pharmaceutical activities of the tri-state-Pittsburgh area. These staff members check to make sure that all the copy is correct. I)r. Claus helps these staff members find some pertinent information for the next issue.

March . . . and time is spent digging into deep texts for classes or just in walking outside without a coat. Before you know, spring will put in a definite appearance. PITT IN q LuvcAd Sometimes, however, it’s hard to think of spring when March winds start blowing the last year’s dead leaves about and almost tear away the new green buds just Starting to bloom. In March nominations are made for Senior Queen. The announcement of the selections at the Rose Tea with the out-going queen presiding, the bewildered surprise of the girls chosen, and, the final deciding votes fill the semester with excitement and great anticipation for the coming coronation. On March 6th, Dr. Emory W. Luccock was installed by Chancellor Rufus H. Fitzgerald as the first full-time chaplain in Pitt’s history. Many spectators filled the large Commons Room to watch the ceremony and attended the reception afterwards to meet and become acquainted with the new Chaplain. This year’s Vocational Fair sponsored by the women’s organizations at Pitt turned out to be a great success. The variety of colorful and unusual displays attracted many persons who found ready information and advice available for almost any career problem. Representatives from the Armed Forces, Girl Scouts, Air Hostesses and other professional fields were willing and glad to answer any questions that were posed. The Pan-Hellenic Ball is the annual inter-sorority formal. This year Baron Elliott provided the music while the girls in their lovely gowns provided the atmosphere. The event was high-lighted by the presentation of the Scholarship cup (announced here by Dottie Jacobs) for the highest scholastic average during the past two semesters, and the new pledges passed under the bower to receive their corsages. 269 FRATERNITIES First Row: T.

It was about that time when they moved into their new red brick house on Lathrop Street. But it was January before president Greg Bleakley recovered from a case of housemaid’s knee developed from washing and waxing floors. Besides becoming owners of a fraternity house for the first time since the war, the Delta Sig’s took several other steps up the ladder in their climb back to the top. An outstanding accomplishment and one to be proud of was a big jump in Inter-Fraternity scholarship ranking. Omega chapter was one of the few groups to show an improvement in quality point average over the previous year. The Sailors Ball held in February, had the actives hanging over the port side. Everything was shipshape until someone discovered that a navy enlistment officer had come uninvited. The Delta Sig’s closed out the year with their Carnation Ball. Named after the fraternity flower, this affair was held in June after final exams. Delta Sig’s spruce up before greeting their favorite Pitt coords.

The progressive dance during the homecoming weekend was also a housewarming for the Celt’s. Men of Delta Tau Delta worked all summer to redecorate the interior of their house. White oak paneling and a pale green wall-to-wall rug were added to the living room. Other improvements were indirect fluorescent lighting and a new spinet piano. Several of the upstairs rooms and a hallway were rcplastered and painted contrasting shades. Black tile was laid and all of the downstairs furniture recovered in red and blue leather. A decisive victory over Sigma Chi in the Inter-Fraternity football league finals returned the trophy to the Delt mantel, a place where it has often been. This was only one of the honors won by the Delt’s in a highly successful year for them. Praters Black and Hampers laugh at proxy Kairys attempt to make a difficult 14-bank shot.

The IF progressive dance in the fall gave KN a real throng of Greeks. A rushec wandered into the Kappa Nu house last fall to find an extemporaneous floor show in progress. Buddy Minsky was doubling as the master of ceremonies and the more audible half of a duet. Stan Glasscr and several other actives were filling in with a ukulele concert. No sooner was the first act finished than the Kappa Nu sing team gave their version of “A Lovely Bunch of Cocoanuts.” Impressed by the display of talent the rushce pledged Kappa Nu and soon learned that Xi chapter has many men active in school activities. “Buzzy” Robbins was a cheerleader, Larry Paper was Interfraternity Chairman of the Athletic Manager Committee and Art Hershkowitz was editor of the “Skyscraper Engineer.” Second place in scholarship and second place in volleyball were trophies won by the “Nu’s.” President Danny Berger was the force behind the installation of a modern, fully-equipped kitchen used to serve meals during the school week. Plans for improving the basement were also put into action this year. a?5 First Rem: R. Vandegrift, L. Coble, H. Lowman, N. Howard, M. Krikorian, C. Haywood. Second Row: I). Bartha, E. Walton, A.

This Fifth Avenue spot was best known to Pitt's incoming freshman class of 1956. Pitt’s Lambda Chi’s joined with over one hundred forty brother chapters in the spring to celebrate forty-three years of growth and progress. Notables of the Greek world gathered in each chapter house throughout the nation to reminisce about past years and to plan for the future. An especial tribute was paid to honorary Harry S. Truman, retiring president of the United States. Success on a national level was carried over into the local chapter. I-ambda Chi Alpha at Pitt was strongly represented in many and diverse activities: Newman Howard, in addition to leading Lambda Chi, was an outstanding shot for the rifle team; Al Braun was a member of the OWL staff and Heinz Chapel Choir; Steve Pas-trick was a cheerleader; Fran Pomilio was bowling chairman for the Inter-Fraternity athletic league. Social highlight was their Winter Formal held at the Colonial Manor Inn. Closing ceremonies included singing popular Lambda Chi songs, including “We’re All Good Fellows.” 277 Phi Delta Theta Pres. V.

Favorite spot on the Progressive Dance circuit was the Phi Delt house. Note the cvcr-opcn front door waiting for fraters, alums and other Greeks. An “American in Paris” came to the Phi Delt chapter this year in the form of an East Bank Apache Party. Couples dressed in Bohemian costumes danced in the dimly lighted game room to Lc Jazz Hot.” The musicians were “Pig Alice” imports sent to Pittsburgh especially for the occasion. Phi Delta Theta under the competent direction of president Bill Forsythe was host again in November to Sigma Chi and Beta Theta Pi of Carnegie Tech at the annual Miami Triad Formal. This affair commemorates the founding of the three fraternities at Miami of Ohio University. Crowned at the dance intermission with the singing of Pennsylvania Iota’s sweetheart song was Carolyn Roberts, 1953 Phi Delt sweetheart. A host of Phi Delt’s were named to membership in campus honoraries. Outstanding tappee was Dick Deitrick who was awarded membership in Omicron Delta Kappa, activities fraternity. Phi Delta Theta had as active members two other varsity football players, Bill Kennedy and Ray Ferguson, a defensive linebacker who spent most of Saturday afternoons in his opponents’ back field. 279 Phi Epsilon Pi Two Phi Ep’s were sitting in the living room polishing the All-Point Trophy; another was waxing the floor around them. From upstairs someone yelled, “Who wants a striped tie?” Another man demanded, “Who has my white bucks?” All this frantic effort on the part of the Phi F.p’s was in preparation for the annual visit of the national officers. The inspecting officers came and went. President Ron Ecker was voted the honor of “Undergraduate of the Year.” So with honors received and button-down collars just a little limp, the Phi Ep’s went back to their regular routine. Stu Kline went to playing football, Boris Weinstein returned to his sports editor job on the Pitt News and Jay Garber climbed back into his Panther costume in time to perform for the Penn State game.

Numerous pictures of the Fiji’s appeared in the Pittsburgh dailies, when they performed such feats as winning the spring carnival sweepstakes and the Inter-Fraternity track meet. Several actives were pictured on one of the front pages as loyal rooters during the Notre Dame rally. No sports editor’s headache were Bill Reynolds, hard driving football halfback, and Art Boyd, ace ball handler for the basketball varsity. Inter-Fraternity basketball trophy was captured by Pi Sigma for the second consecutive year. The feature article of the year was the crowning of the Phi Gam sweetheart which took place at the Winter Formal held at the Jacktown Hotel. Tall, beautiful Betty Patterson of Kappa Kappa Gamma was presented the bejeweled fraternity pin at the conclusion of ceremonies honoring her. Spring social events of the year were the Norris Pig Dinner and a faculty-student buffet given in conjunction with Kappa Alpha Theta sorority.

Politics was just one phase of Phi Kap activities this year. Fall semester socials opened with the Phi Kap, Phi Ep, and Theta Chi costume party. Little trinkets such as twenty-one jewel wristwatches were given as prizes for the best costume. In November, Major Charles O’Riordan, senior quartermaster of the Pitt ROTC corps was inducted as an honorary member of Phi Kappa. Christmas week was the orphans’ party at the house on Dithridge Street. The affair was a success until two of the little visitors tried to play lumberjack with the Christmas tree. The semester ended on a formal note. The men of Mu chapter gave a traditional dinner honoring their house mother for her help and understanding during the 1952-53 year.

Finding that much can be accomplished with so many actives the PiKA’s have maintained their standing as the largest house on campus. Being so big the PiKA’s do everything in a big way. A climax deluxe was walking off with the Interfraternity All-Point Trophy. This year the Pika’s” won a fast finish in spring athletics, which included a first place in softball. Winter formal time found the Pi Kappa Alpha’s snowshoeing out to Chartiers Country Club where they honored their 53” choice for Dream Girl. After the dance everyone drove back to town for an early morning bacon and eggs breakfast. Other big affairs were a homecoming and a Christmas dance in the Norse Room of the Fort Pitt Hotel. Big PiKA men on Campus were John Wall-hausscr, Secretary of Men’s Council and John Mamaux, Sophomore member of the Intra-Mural athletic manager’s committee.

A call for a “change” sounded from a bugle over the flat sports plain of Schenley Oval. Minutes later taps were sounded. Was it a local ROTC maneuver? No, the occasion was the Pi Lam football victory over the Phi Ep’s for the first time in many years. Later bugles were exchanged for trumpets and soft music at the Highland Country Club, scene of the winter formal. Other victories were celebrated by Pi Lambda Phi throughout the year. Included was an honorable mention in the homecoming house decoration contest. President Larry Adler built a Pitt football player kicking a helpless Hoosier over a goal post. The motif was labeled “Kick ’Em in the End Zone.” A1 Horowitz had his own personal victories. As an associate editor of the “new” Panther, he saw the Pitt feature magazine improve and prosper with each edition. Outstanding Pi Lam’s who led campus activities were Karl Meyers, hardworking business manager of the Owl and Joe Trattner of the YMCA cabinet. 289 The Pitt Varsity certainly obliged their Pi Lam rooting section with some good swift kicks.

A dinner table conversation among several brothers of Sigma Alpha Epsilon brought up inter-fraternity social relations. “Every fraternity on campus should be better known to other chapters,” said prexy Bob Scott. “Agreed!” chimed in “veep” Tug Brenner. So Pitt’s SAE’s started a project that ended in an early spring stag party at North Park, with the Phi Gam’s, Delt's, and Sig Chi’s. On the other hand, women had their moment at the Sig Alph indoor hayridc. No smoking was allowed as hay was piled waist deep on the game room floor. Corn shocks and pumpkins were scattered about for decorations. The social tempo was maintained at both the winter and spring formals. Time out was taken for activities and the SAE’s moved into several prominent positions on the eighth floor in the Cathedral. Tom Picmmc and Dick Roman were officers on the Inter-Fraternity Council. Piemme was the News Editor of the Greek World and Roman was also tapped to sophomore activities, the Druids. 291 Famous alumnus looks down approvingly on happy SAE’s.

Sigma Alpha Mu Be progressive is the motto of the Psi chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu at Pitt. Their latest innovation is the Help Week instead of Hell Week during the pledge initiation period. “Sammy” pledges, instead of going through hazing, gave their time to charity organizations. They collected clothing for under-priviledged families in Pittsburgh slum areas. The active chapter joined with the pledges and built a game room in the cellar and installed a ladies’ powder room. Sigma Alpha Mu’s sleight ride in December was the highlight of their winter social season. The lack of snow was no handicap to the brothers who threw hay in the back scats of several convertibles and drove through the rural countryside . . . a winter hayride, no less. President Sid Finkel’s fraternity men were among the most active on the Pitt campus this year.

Ever since the founding of Sigma Phi Epsilon in 1901, this fraternity has been one of the Outstanding examples of the friendly spirit which the University emphasizes in all its social activities. The willingness of each one of its forty-five active members to cooperate in all ways is hard to top. All during the year, an active interest was maintained in many different phases of Campus life. Their booth for the spring carnival took first place and they were very proud to claim the honor of fraternity basketball section champs. Individually they were well represented: Fred Benson was an active member of Men’s Council; Bill Starn claimed membership in Alpha Phi Omega; and Jim Nagy copped the presidency of Pitt’s Ski Club. But perhaps what they themselves might consider their most progressive achievement was the annual Christmas party which they held for some fifty orphans. There can be no doubt that the pin which Sigma Phi Epsilon members wear so proudly is a true symbol of this group—the fraternity with a “heart.” Here arc two Sig F.p’s who played down to their last shirt.

Surrounding the display lighted with neon were three grave stones representing Iowa, Army, and Notre Dame, previous Panther football victims. Entered as co-sponsor with Theta Chi was Beta Sigma Omicron sorority. After homecoming, the Theta Chi’s shifted their “Ford” into high gear and entered as strong contenders in the Inter-Fraternity competition. Participating in the “B” section of the newly divided basketball league, Alpha Beta finished well up the line. High octane men in Pitt activities were Lud I.ippert, president of the Inter-Fraternity council and Gene Rock, member of Student Congress.

In the Fall KBPhi took in the largest pledge class in its short history, and one of the largest on campus. Rushing was far from the high spot during the school year, as a well-planned social program gave the brothers and pledges everything they wanted in socials. A Hobo party, Comic Strip dance, and a Thanksgiving barn dance were just some of the “idea” parties. And the President’s Ball Spring formal finished the year with the installation of new officers.

Love blossoms out in the alcoves like the new leaves on the trees; boots and umbrellas appear more frequently as the April showers are ushered in; and of course, what would April be without thoughts of that new Easter outfit. The general lethargy that is so often associated with the coming of the spring can be cured in many different ways: a good cold shower, a few term papers, or just good ole’ Grandma’s tonic—but there’s another angie—could be the answer lies in the old saying, “In spring a young man’s fancy likely turns to thoughts of love.” The first buds of April appear on the trees when the cold winds of March give way to the warm breezes of April. All over the campus these small messengers of spring bring promises of a sunny May. The buds are not the only things to come out of hibernation for the winter.

By the end of June, the AKA’s could look back with satisfaction on a series of successful enterprises—all made successful by hard work and originality. The first of three particularly noteworthy activities was the Intro Ball, in October, at which Negro freshmen were introduced to Pitt’s social life. Then in December of the year, Mabel Book-ert, representative from Alpha Kappa Alpha, participated in the Christmas Bouli’ in Cleveland, Ohio. The Bouli’ is the national convention of AKA and five other fraternities and sororities. Besides the business meetings, Mabel had time to attend many dances, parties, and other convention social affairs. At the end of the school year, the girls presented a fifty dollar check to the Termon Avenue Home for Colored Children. All in all, the 1952-53 year of the Pittsburgh chapter of AKA was highly successful, for the sisters spent the season helping themselves by helping others. 320 First Row: A. Carney, M. Bookert, C.

Shirley, Fran and Pat busy themselves shining the ADPi’s silver set—oh this rushing! These three ADPi’s have a friendly fireside chat before their meeting begins. 323 The AEPhi Fathers' Day dinner and Mothers’ Day luncheon have become a tradition on the Pitt campus. One of the few sororities on campus celebrating these two days, they make many plans to give due tribute to their mothers and fathers —even to the extent of writing poetry. As part of their social life, the AEPhi’s enjoy the annual Mid-Winter Frolic with their dates at one of the local ballrooms. And then there was the IF picnic. The Delt’s arc still talking about that southern fried chicken and chocolate cake. The sorority girls proved to the Delt’s that they arc handy when it comes to kitchen work. Again this year the girls arc supporting a war orphan in another country, a little garcon in France. Due to the generosity of the AEPhi’s, now this child has many mothers. Audrey Cohen, president of Pan-Hel, has created “close fellowship among the women at Pitt” by her industrious efforts and progressive alterations in Pan-Hel council, 1952-53. It must be contagious because there isn’t a friendlier group of girls than the AEPhi’s at Pitt. “Hurry up and get your coat, Arlene.

Their new apartment on Bigelow Boulevard is being redecorated by the hard working sorority girls and the results are amazing. They all agree that it is good practice . . . maybe they have a good idea. With lots of applied energy and perseverance the girls had the apartment finished for their first party after the West Virginia football game. It was open house and time for a post-game chat over a steaming hot cup of coffee. This year the Beta Sig’s had a wiener roast and hayridc, long practice sessions for carnival at the house, an annual Christmas formal, and, of course, Gwen Williams trying to keep order in meeting. Beta Sig’s are friendly girls and always ready to assist the new freshmen at Pitt.

From powder puffs to bracelets the Chi O's took over. The Phi Gam’s loaned their fraternity house to the girls for spring rushing. Chi Omega rush parties arc rated on campus among the best and this year was no exception. Fishes, mermaids and sailors were hostesses at the Deep Sea Party. Chi O’s at Pitt have been busy this year. There was the big swimming party with the Tech and Pitt chapters combining ... initiating mothers into the newly organized Mothers Club . . . slumber parties that ended up as all night gab sessions (they never made those 8:30s). . . celebrating the holidays with a wonderful Christmas formal . . . mixing big bowls of colored punch for tea dances (someone had a hollow leg) . . . spending many hours listening to Adclc Marraccini tell of her adventures in Europe this last summer ... and pledging girls in May “to great purposes in friendship, creditable scholarship and sincere learning.” First Rote: B.

Down in the recreation room Margaret Dowling calls the Chi Omega meeting to order, and in the chapter room Kay Komoroski serves as prexy for the Tri Delt’s. The generous Delt girls turned over their recreation room for meetings to the Chi Omega’s who lost their house in September. Both sororities agree that it has created lasting friendships between the girls. Again this year the Tri Delt’s offered a scholarship to any woman student on campus that has completed two semesters at the University, has maintained an adequate scholastic standing, and has taken an interest in school activities. Many Tri Delt girls are outstanding on campus: Rosemary Feil is vice-president of WSGA and a member of Mortar Board; Dotty Jacobs is vice-president of Pan-Hel Council. And all the Tri Delt’s are still beaming over that big gold first place cup from carnival ’52. 330 First Row: J. Grimm, J. F.lliott, K. Komoroski, M. Baynham, R. Fid, P. F.tzlcr. Second Row: N.

Millie listens dreamily to You Belong to Me while the others select more records. . . and those meals at Antoines.” New friends, long bus tours, swimming parties and many informative convention meetings are the memories and remembrances that Arlene Scott brought back from the Golden Jubilee to share with the Omicron Delta Zeta’s. A week in New Orleans last summer at the general convention united Pitt’s Delta Zeta’s with many sisters from all over the United States. Some of the convention enthusiasm has “rubbed off” because the Delta Zeta’s arc right on top this year. Their spring rushing Mardi Gras party was a gay affair for rushces, and what a can-can line! Delta Zeta Betty Pickering, a member of Mortar Board, Senior Court, Quax, and Quo Vadis won the nationality rooms trip to Europe last year. Vivacious Donna Parks was Mortar Board Vice-President and a Senior Court Justice. On the philanthropic side, the girls decorated, packed, and distributed baskets to many families during the Christmas season. Social affairs included the annual Christmas formal at the house on the corner. There was plenty of mistletoe, stacks of presents, and many pretty Delta Zeta’s. First Row: P. Ritz, J. Stcinkamp, J.

Mary Ann Grigsby Peggy Wallick Phyllis Kephart Claire Moser “Ex Libris”—there is a wealth to be given as many Theta’s have discovered. The KAT’s were the femme scholars on the Pitt campus last year. “Bring a Book Day” on September 29 spurred the Theta’s on to their project of building a sorority library. These books will be shelved in their lovely paneled living room. Ambitious Barbara Millen is handling the big book this year. As Editor of The Owl, Barbara has spent many nights concentrating on a book of many headaches. During the chilly winter months the girls warmed things up by inviting different members of the faculty to supper. When spring comes to Pitt the big red brick Theta house is a hum of activities. Phyllis Kephart is out in the backyard pounding nails into a metal truck, building the float for carnival parade; Pegge Wallick is teaching the new pledges their Theta P’s and Q’s; Nancy Hendry is counting roses for the spring formal and President Mary Ann Grigsby is shining up the initiation equipment.

Peggy’s strumming on the ukc helps Dolly teach Irene and Janet the harmony of a song she picked up at Ocean City last summer. The Theta’s gather round to admire the scholarship trophy Claire and Mary Ann brought back from convention last summer. Clare’s determined there’ll be no finger marks on this trophy! June 8 was a big day in the life of Josephine Gallagher and the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority. For the third straight year, a Kappa had been crowned Senior Queen at Coronation. There was happiness mingled with tears and squeals of delight after the impressive ceremony. The KKG girls left school for summer vacations knowing that they had a right to be proud. The Kappa’s believe that cheer and happiness should be shared with others. At Christmas time in their beautiful blue room, they entertained the out of town girls who live in their sorority house. By trimming a large tree, opening pretty presents, and serving good things to eat, the Kappa’s made many new friends. A few days later the sorority was hostess to orphans at an afternoon party. They’re busy gals at this time of the year, but they still find time for their annual formal in December. There are many outstanding girls who wear the Kappa key: Betty Patterson is president of Junior Pan-Hel; Ellen Samonas is chairman of Housing Board and Lonnie Cinqugrani was the sweetheart of Sigma Phi Epsilon. When Claire discovered her hem was out, Nancy and Gerry were ready with pins and yardstick. Kappa Kappa Gamma First Row: M. Christian, N. Flanigan, B. Shearer, P. Frazer, G. Henry. Second Row: G.

Using reference books, four Phi Mu’s busily try to catch up on their assignments. Phi Mu sorority is a member of the American Association of University Women, which annually sponsors a scholarship permitting a foreign student to study in America. This year the Pitt chapter was honored to have as their guest on the Phi Mu scholarship, Margrethc Stub of Oslo, Norway, who is a graduate student in child psychology. Pour days before her arrival, the girls were busily reading about and discussing the customs of Norway and for days after Margrethc arrived she was busy telling her adopted Phi Mu sisters and the Delta eta's, with whom she lives, about her Norwegian home. One of the local projects of the Phi Mu’s was a Christmas party for the children at Juvenile Court, with Santa Claus, movies, gilts, a Christmas tree, and all the gay trimmings. The Phi Mu’s social activities kept the gals busy this year with Christmas and spring formals, bowling, birthday parties, a hayride, and a square dance. First Row: D. Henry, M. Cooney, N.

Phi Sigma Sigma The important decision of just the right gown, or borrowing Ruthie’s silver bag, and losing one earring at the last minute . . . but all of these were just a few memories when each girl danced with her date to the music of Archie Tarsh and his band. The occasion was a Winter Formal Dinner Dance at the Roosevelt Hotel downtown, and the first big sorority affair for the new Phi Sigma Sigma pledges. Phi Sig’s contributed more than one hundred dollars to the Rheumatic Fever Fund, their national philanthropic project. They also contributed to the Pan-Hel Fund for a war orphan. The Phi Sig’s promoted good Pan-Hel relations by having a joint square dance with DZ’s. There were also rushing parties, Pan-Hel Sing, and Spring Carnival activities. A Mothers’ Day banquet and the annual Founders’ Day celebration rounded out their 1952-1953 sorority activities. First Row: M. Blumenthal, P. Goldberg, Z. Rubinstein, P. Cohen, R. Eisner.

That party is a typical example of the events which highlighted the Sigma Delta Tau program this year. Other philanthropic work included a donation to the National Multiple Sclerosis Fund. Also, the girls did volunteer hospital work such as selling candy, magazines and toys, rolling bandages, reading to patients and spreading good will in general. Augmenting their social events was open house during I Iomccoming • Week sponsored jointly with the l i Lam’s. Later, the SDT’s moved to even closer objectives by entertaining their parents with a wonderful dinner and a night of fun. Throughout the year, the girls held many dancesending with their traditional spring formal. After meeting, the SDT’s still laughing and talking leave for home. Fint Row: S. Bond, R. Caplan, N.

When Robbie Page, son of the national president, died of polio a few years ago, the Tri Sig’s adopted a Robbie Page Polio Memorial as one of their national projects. This year the girls sponsored two bridge parties to raise money for polio research. Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority claims a class president and a sweetheart: 1955 class president, Mary Rose Benkowski, and sweetheart of Sigma Pi, Patty Bossart.

TPA’s were busy girls when they worked on their sorority projects. Seven of the girls spent many hours working for the Air Force filter center downtown. This year as every year TPA’s sent money and clothes to the Glenmary Mission, a society which does missionary work among the rural districts of America. A costume party for Halloween, parties for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, and their extravagant Christmas formal added to the TPA’s social life this past year.

They entertained a group of orphans at their house with one of the Pitt fraternities at Christmas time and after the holidays borrowed a bit of Old New York for their Bowery Ball in January. To raise money for their national charity, the Zeta’s sold magazine subscriptions. Business was good, and they sent a large sum to the Cerebral Palsy Fund. On Founders’ Day, actives and alumni celebrated with a banquet. At the banquet, they honored president Janet Sopher for achieving the highest scholastic average of seniors and June Riffle for the highest average of the year.

Girls of Delta Sigma Theta deserve a proverbial pat on the back this year. Their national project was one that brought happiness and pleasure to many people living in rural areas of the nation, especially the south. The girls contributed money to buy books for a traveling mobile library for people who otherwise wouldn’t have access to these books. Another national activity of the Delta Sig’s is the “Jabberwock.” “Jabberwock” is a series of plays combined into one show that is presented every spring to raise money for their scholarship fund. Delta Sig girls never neglect their social life. During football season they sponsored and attended the informal Kick-off Kapcr, one of the first affairs of the year. And like all formals, their Crystal Ball was a big success and “a good time was had by all.” V. Freeman, J. Davis, M. Wilson, M. Jackson, V. Swain, M.

The theme is ‘ Show TinuV’ The float parade is plannda on £ “Cavalwlc of Opera” motif while the carnival-Vill depict the “Great White Way.” The committees are all hard at work to make the 195 5 carnival a success with executive head Steve Harris, publicity chairman Claire Cooper, and L'dHness manager Joe Trattner guiding he general festival doings. Soap Box Derby and Sports Panorama Committee Float Parade and Carnival Committee Stunt Week and Main Ball Committee The 1952 float parade was organized around Greek and Roman Mythology with Zeus, Prometheus, Pegasus and other stories represented. After the float parade, a Grape Stomp was held in Foster Memorial Social Hall, carrying through the theme of the whole Spring Festival Kappa Alpha Theta won the prize for the best sorority float with their “Pandora’s Box.” Mayor Lawrence, one of the judges in the float parade, discusses the activities of the spring festival such as the Soap Box Derby and the many elaborate floats with Dolores Schaub and Richard Cohen. 353 In the Fraternity Division of the float parade, Sigma Chi with their version of “Prometheus Hound” was judged the first prize winner. Yards and yards of crepe paper, boxes of tacks and nails and many hours of tireless work went into the planning for all the floats. Almost every fraternity and sorority was represented by an unusual project. The fine construction and design of all the floats entered in the parade made it very hard for the judges to decide on the winner. Although the prizes were limited, there were many floats that were highly praised even though not a winner. It is a privilege to include the names of the companies who helped make our yearbook a success. We realize the close relationship between these companies and the University, and appreciate their cooperation and generosity.

That these two have achieved a happy symbiosis is brilliantly expressed today in the Cathedral of Learning. • It could have been a temptation, in this town of teeming potentialities, to concentrate solely on the practical. Wealth always burgeoned here—in farm products, coal, iron, glass, oil, and steel. Any man with horse-sense and a right good will to work, could wrest a fortune from the wilderness, seemingly overnight. • This city was singularly blessed though, by the quality of the people who came here in search of a fuller life. They recognized early a need for the specialized type of training our industries would require. But they wished, for their sons and daughters, much more than this. With William Penn they believed that good and commendable learning is to be preferred before wealth. • A succession of such great men—founders, trustees, chancellors, teachers, and alumni—have steered our university's destiny from the log cabin Academy of 1787 to the Cathedral of today. Under their vigil has grown up a special type of university that marries, in its wide curriculum, both the cultural and the practical. The Cathedral of Learning, itself a uniquely American architectural expression, is a symbol of a uniquely American type of education. • Also uniquely American was the early development of the food manufacturing business. For more than three generations we have been preparing ready-to-serve delicacies to save the time and effort of America’s housewives. H. J.

The trees are literally bursting with soft bunches of leaves, almost weighing the branches down, and casting grey summer shadows over the grass. Jlfr V A y Graduation is the culmination of four long years filled with study, hard work, and fun. Often a sigh of relief is expressed, but there is always a tinge of regret at closing perhaps four of the fullest years in a lifetime. Receiving a degree does not mean that an education is finished by any means. The diploma is just a symbol of the formalized side of learning; the greater challenge lies in taking what has been learned and being able to use that learning to its fullest advantage. 394 A classical motif has drawn together the diverse sections of the 1953 Owl. In the opening pages there are photographs or drawings of the Winged Victory of Samo-thrace, Pan charmed by the spirit of Music, three types of Greek columns, the Thinker. The book attempts to emphasize the value of the faculty to the University, and through the classical motif to suggest their intellectual and cultural contributions. On each sub-division page there is a person or symbol, Roman or Grecian in origin, and a photograph which are reproduced and an explanation of both the symbol and the picture is given. A second unifying factor in the 1953 Owl is the sequence of time. This factor is also depicted by art work: modern conceptions of the Zodiac symbols are presented in the opening picture story and are repeated throughout the book in the picture stories. HONORARIES, Page 105. The laurel wreath, Attic symbol of honor, crowns those held worthy by the people. One honorary fraternity, Kappa Kappa Psi, symbolizes many others. Here John Martucci, Robert Wolf, Herbert Hubner are working out a marching band problem with Advisor Robert L. Arthur. ORGANIZATIONS, Page 135. Janus, the two-faced god stands, among other things, for continuity and tradition, as he looks both toward the future and the past. Organizations are a traditional part of college life in the United States, help prepare us for the future. Here Gilbert Simons and Lloyd Fuge plan with YMCA Executive Secretary Al Payne. DIVISION FRATERNITIES, Page 269. The handshake of fraternity introduces a picture taken at an Inter-Fraternity Council dinner meeting. Don Milletary, Fraternity Adviser Dick Cunningham, and IF President Lud Lippcrt dip the spoon together. PAGE PUBLICATIONS, Page 253. Man first recorded his thoughts in stone, but with the scroll came the opportunity to communicate to many and over great distances by written symbols. Publications at Pitt include many students, a few of whom are gathered here in the office of the Director of Student Publications. Stanley Goldmann, News, Dr. Beal, Barbara Millcn, Owl, Dick Price, Panther, and Karl Meyers, Owl, arc caught thrashing out a problem of conflicting interests. ADVERTISING, Page 355. The coins of the marketplace introduce the Advertising Section, and the photograph portrays Pittsburgh’s approach to tomorrow’s place of work and trade. The Point Park project is now the country’s prime example of progressive construction, well on the way to the city of tomorrow which is pictured on page 392. 5 SENIORS, Page 35. Zeus’ thunderbolt opens the way to the life of the world, as the seniors leave our ivory tower. At a tea meeting of the senior class Janet Sopher, Miss Savina Skewis, Miss Ruth Cramblet, and Marlene Snyderman relax after parliamentary exertions. 396 ATHLETICS, Page 171. The discus thrower has long been the classic athlete, and the Owl has followed tradition in choosing this symbol for the Athletic Section. Rex Peery coaches Joe Solomon by demonstration in actual wrestling. UNDERCLASSMEN, Page 93-Busy with activities and committee meetings, worried about approaching exams and over-due papers, and with no apparent let-up, the underclassmen often feel like Atlas holding the world on his shoulders. Representative of the faculty who take a personal interest in all students, Mr. John Huston, Lecturer in History, advises Carl Poke, Charlotte Cohen, and Richard Conaway in one of the classes Mr. Huston sometimes holds in his home. CLASSES AND ACTIVITIES, Pages 18, 19 and 126, 127. Sun, Moon, and Stars—in a twentieth century adaptation of antique notation—, day and night and the universe, stand on the division pages of the Classes and Activities Sections. Vice-Chancellor Nutting is responsible for all University affairs pertaining to students, and here chats before a Commons Room fire with John Austin, Nancy Robb, Donna Parks and Gordon Phillips. Heading the Activities Section, in a picture taken at the Chancellor’s Reception for the parents of freshmen, are two leaders of student activities, Jack Burwinkel and Adele Marraccini, with the Deans of Men and Women, Theodore W. Biddle and Helen Poole Rush. INDEX SORORITIES, Page 319. The Porch of the Maidens projects from the Acropolis its pale marble shoulders behind the warmer figures of three Pitt girls. Taken at the Panhellenic Reception, Audrey Cohen, Josephine Gallagher, and Dotty Jacobs arc flesh and blood symbols of sorority life. FINE ARTS, Page 215. The classic vase, representing the spa-cial arts, and the actors, representing the temporal arts suggest the range of the Fine Arts as we work and live with them at Pitt. The photographer has caught a moment of rehearsal with Pitt Players Anna Lou Alex and Chuck Steltir feeling their way into their roles in “The Time of Your Life” under the direction of Harvey Pope. STUDENT GOVERNMENT, fa Page 235. Student Government is graced with the scales of justice r - —that justice was also blind mat- ' V ters little here. Charles Elliott, advisor to Student Congress, is driving Gerry Fialko and Dan Berger to a meeting of the Congress at Dan’s home. 397 Night Owls On this page we are presenting four people whom we shall refer to as “night Owls.” These people, although unknown to the general student body, are old friends of the Owl staff. They know the University only as it is at night, not a hustling, bustling madhouse as it is during the day, but a silent, serene, eerie structure which must be watched by night and cleaned by morning. They are a small but necessary part of the huge machinery which is the University of Pittsburgh. Through the night they work, cleaning up, washing the black boards (a job we used to race for when we were kids), scrubbing the elevator floors (we bet you never noticed), and making the Cathedral a shining place in which to carry on our daily activities. We of the Owl staff, who often must work into the wee hours of the morning, feel that we are fortunate to have the opportunity to get to know these people as more than another face in the mass of faces or another pair of feet that walk through the halls. Because they have been so friendly and co-operative with us and because they are great people, we feel that they deserve this recognition. One of our oldest friends is Jim Seymore. Jim runs the elevator during the night and is very helpful by depriving us of the pleasure of walking up eight floors to the office. We will never forget his thoughtfulness and concern for our welfare. Foreman Bill Fowler and his assistant Larry Rilcv, two more of the midnight staff at Pitt, work hard through the night but always find time to stop in and joke with us. We enjoyed their frequent visits and will always think of them as one of the pleasant things about working late. A familiar personality to the Owl staff is I.udella Rose, who cleans the eighth floor at night. She often comes in to say hello and see how we arc doing with the yearbook; in fact she has more interest in the Owl than most of the students at Pitt.

The 1953 Owl would not be complete without thanking a few of the people without whose help, advice and encouragement the book could never have been produced. First and foremost on my list of people who deserve thanks are the forty-two loyal students who worked long hours, giving up many free weekends, to make this year's Owl “the best ever. Of these forty-two, special mention must go to Gloria Hencghan, who undertook the task of managing the editor. Gloria did a wonderful job consoling and cajoling the editor. No editor could have been as fortunate as I was in having such a capable and good-natured business manager as Karl Meyers. Operating on a deficit budget, Karl’s efforts were successful in giving the Owl a sound financial basis and in keeping the editor laughing—even when he cut expenses. To Cynthia Aberman, Dan Berger, Jack Caldwell, Clare Cooper, Joan Franz, Don Gwillim, Dahlia Katz, Phyllis Kephart, Shirley Schiffman, Doris Secor, Joan Sticers, and Chuck Suprock, I can only say humbly, without you the book and I as well, would have floundered and failed. Mention of these staff members is not meant to exclude the many others both on the business and editorial staffs who contributed to the success of the 1953 Owl. Wm. J. Keller Inc. again did a fine job in printing the Owl, and of the many people at Keller’s who were willing advisers to me, special thanks must go to Mrs. Jewell M. Gates and Mr. Donald L. Messingcr. Thanks, Jewell and Don, for being so considerate, listening to my problems and answering my many questions. This year’s cover is not just another cover; it is, rather, another fine example of S. K. Smith Co. covers which are distinct and beautiful in design and quality. Many thanks to Mr. Ralph Benz for his invaluable advice to me in the selecting and designing of a cover which is in good harmony and taste with the book. Group and portrait pictures were again taken by Chidnoff Studios. A vote of thanks must go to Mr. Frank O’Neill and Mr. Norman Pell for their ready assistance in helping the staff make the big January deadline and also to photographers Jack Mitchell, Frank Stoehr, and sales representative Irene Blumenthal, whose cooperation and friendliness was greatly appreciated. For Mr. Theodore M. Biddle’s encouragement and-help a mere thanks can hardly suffice. In fact, the entire Dean of Men’s staff and secretaries were an invaluable source of information and willing assistance not only to me, but the entire staff. Without the constant advice and help of the Director of Student Publications, Dr. Denton Beal, the 1953 Owl could certainly never have been produced. Thanks to you, D.B., and Mildred also, for your ready assistance in tight squeezes and for your sincere interest in the editor’s health and welfare. Mr. Thomas Jarrett, the University Photographer, supplied us with many pictures and gave professional advice to our own photographers. Many thanks, Mr. Jarrett. Jane Shaw from the News Service helped the staff many times when we needed information and pictures in a hurry. Thanks, Jane. In spite of the fact that Lcizer Balk, last year’s editor, was hundreds of miles away, he never lost interest in the ’53 Owl. Lciz was a reliable source of information and a staunch supporter and cncouragcr. Lack of space limits my mentioning more of the friends—the publications people, the Theta’s, Mortar Board members, “Pop,” the Heinz Chapel Choir—who bore with me, encouraged me, and who never lost faith in me. To all of you I can only say, thanks. Last, but most important, I would like to say a very special thanks to my family, who, although they saw next to nothing of me for eleven months, never ceased to be my most loyal supporters and constant source of encouragement and strength. With sincerity I say that without these friends, the 1953 Owl cou never have been produced. And now, as I turn over this office, this desk, and this typewriter to the 1954 editor, I wish him, or her, a world of luck and good friends to help him make the 1954 Owl the best ever.
