CHARLES SU KARL WEBERS, BUSINESS toAUAGER. PUBLISHED FOR THE STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH the builder's message Pittsburgh is in the midst of an era of vigorous new growth and development that has gained world-wide attention and recognition. Covering almost every phase of community life, the Pittsburgh Program is broad and balanced—a fact that represents perhaps its most noteworthy and remarkable aspect. Evidence of the physical changes are strikingly visible and apparent—in the imposing skyline of the Triangle, at the Point where a 36-acre park will restore the beauty of this historic Gateway to the West, and in the towering skyscrapers of steel and stone and aluminum that exemplify Pittsburgh’s economic resurgence. It is evident, too, because of smoke and flood control, the great airport, modern highways built to move traffic quickly and efficiently, and the new parks and playgrounds for wholesome recreation. Along with the physical rebuilding there has been an equally impressive cultural and educational rebirth. Carnegie Institute, with its renowned museum, international art exhibitions, library and musical activities, is a vital part of this larger and richer picture. A unique auditorium for year-round use as an amphitheater, sports arena and convention hall is projected for the Lower Hill. The symphony orchestra, the grand opera, summer operettas and the Pittsburgh Playhouse productions have achieved distinction and rank among the finest in the country. WQED has been established in the pioneering field of educational television. New buildings and expanding facilities at the University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Pennsylvania College for Women, and Duquesne University are but part of the plans of these leading institutions for enlarging and enriching their services to youth and community. The University Medical Center with its many affiliated hospitals, schools, and clinics is destined for a leading role in this age of miraculous medical progress. Most important of all is the way the program is touching the lives of the people who live and work here and attracting to Pittsburgh outstanding executives, scientists, engineers, scholars, physicians, and research workers who see an opportunity for a fuller and richer life in this dynamic industrial community. The accomplishments which have already been made on the many phases of the Pittsburgh Program during the four years the Class of 1954 has been in the University are substantial and significant and have created the solid foundation for greater achievements in the days ahead. 4 Richard K. Mellon Progrett it the by-ord of the yeor, progrett, denoted by the greol tlridet in medicine, Culture, wd phyikol ccntlrvcf'crv Through rhete poget we will fry to thow to e into port of th« progrett, of Pitt ond in PiJttbvrgh. Viewing the “hill” from atop the Cathedral the camera's eye catches the sites from which have and will come the minds and imaginations that have produced the city in the background. Though they are not all new buildings, they are as old friends who have given freely of their wares. 6 Pitt has long been lacking adequate facilities along athletic lines. The remedy to this situation has been the field house. Containing a gymnastics room, a wrestling room, spacious locker rooms and locker room facilities, and one of the most beautiful floors in college basketball, the Pitt Memorial field house fast became the center of student athletic activities at Pitt. Now nearing completion, the Gateway Center is approaching the goal that Pittsburgh has set for herself. That goal being the advance of the city to the pinnacle of industrial transactions and beauty. The Buildings supply a tremendous amount of office space, while the gateway as a whole beautifies the Point area with their silvery cleanness of line. 8 Progress cannot be denoted by physical things alone. The Cathedral represents a great part of what might be called unseen progress. With the use of only their training and minds the men of this university have built greater things. Meaning, the minds of the students at Pitt. For what greater edifice has ever been constructed for the good of mankind? No building, however large or impressive, can equal the human mind. And the training of these minds is the most important job that has ever existed. It is the most vital part of the progress at Pitt. This movement is always advancing and has done so ever since the inauguration of the university. Though in this book we cannot take pictures of this development, we can only tell you that it is going on. And now the OWL staff presents to you the 1954 OWL, this record of your year. An unobtrusive, but nonetheless important part of the University’s expansion plan is the Cyclotron Laboratory on Thackery near O'Hara Street. Housing equipment and instruments for advanced research in nuclear physics, the lab works closely with the physics department in the never-ending search for knowledge in the atomic field. The lab was one of the first buildings erected under Pitt’s plan to increase its capabilities for scientific research. High atop the hill, near Pitt Stadium, one of the country’s newest and most modem hospitals is being erected to house the thousands of war veterans still undergoing treatment for battle injuries. With present VA hospitals filled to overflowing, the University tore down the Old Trees Gym in order to make space available for the government hospital which will increase the services presently rendered by Aspinwall and Deshon VA medical facilities. Newly completed and costing $4,750,000, one of the latest additions to the University’s rapidly growing Medical Center is this home for resident nurses. The formal dedication of the structure took place in April of 1953 but due to pressing needs, nurses were moved into the building as fast as facilities were available, and before the finishing touches had been made to equip it for full-scale operations. m Often called the most beautiful airport in the world the Greater Pittsburgh airport is certainly an asset to the area with its fine facilities and beautiful appearance. Reaching skyward downtown is the beautiful, new Alcoa building. The start of a new era in skyscrapers, it is constructed of aluminum, glass and concrete, using steel only in the structural framework. 10 With its great, sweeping corves the Penn-Lincoln Parkway is one of the facts proving that Pittsburgh is the city that is pulling itself up by its bootstraps. Speeding autos to and from downtown, the Parkway is relieving some of the tremendous traffic pressures which confront our growing city. When it is completed the huge six-lane roadway will enable thousands of office workers and students to get that extra half-hour of sleep. 11 A 1 3 1 21 35 49 83 ?A ?6 1 03 167 177 1 83 1 89 203 207 131 295 309 339 343 366 376 r 'S AAESS E WILDER s ,DK Awardee enior Queen ne Arts ligion onorories tudent Government ublicotions LASSES )wl Hall of Fame sniors :hool of D ntistry zhool of hJursincj zhool of Pharmacy ndcrclassm n zhool of Retailing organizations eternities and Sororities Athletics advertising SENIOR INDEX INDEX OF ADVERTISERS INDEX OF DIVISION PAGES ODK Awardee Senior Queen and Her Court Alma Mater or Wisdom Hazel Ilallam ; ; Queen Patricia Ritz M m - . . : pg V'X4' ''' m 'y WM - MX i Zmt Kukiv ■; Valor Elaine Pelaez Head Doer of Homage Marjorie Pickhollz Chief Marshall Harriet Pincus m Its 311llff Head Doer of Homage Elaine Lore Wmmm ; i Ittifi ' ’ . || : ' V || Hill ||:| ■: ' lilt % g: : ' . . : ' ' : ’ .

Hut 1 can't say all that in five minutes! Women who arc- interested in speech training have an opportunity for many kinds of expression through the Women’s Speech Association. This group plans a varied program of speech activities, including debate, oral reading, radio discussion groups, and methods of parliamentary procedure. Outstanding on this year’s agenda was the Beaux Arts program. Planned as an event to welcome Freshman women, this year’s program was attended by a large group of all-students and faculty members,numbering more than two hundred and fifty, who enthusiastically received the presentations of American music, poetry, plays, and dancing. Debates with the other city colleges and visiting teams were an important part of the Women’s Speech activities, too. Highlight of these debates was the one at Mary Washington, and the one at Purdue University early in the year. First Roir: G. Freklman, C. Tarshis, I . Black, B. McIntyre, F. Schwartz, E. MmdhiI.

Pitt’s Men’s Debate Team got off to a preseason start by debating the Pittsburgh Chapter of the American Institute of Hanking on the Question of the McCarran Act. Free trade was the question for this year’s series of college debates. Pitt’s firs! two competitors were West Virginia and Dickinson. These debates took place in area high schools and both were won by Pitt. Oxford’s debate team was among the 27 which met at Pitt for the Sixth Annual Cross-Examination Tournament which consisted of five primary rounds and a public debate against the Oxford team. During January Men’s Debate went undefeated at Ohio State and broke even at Geneva. In February Pitt set a new record by winning the Slippery Hock Tournament for the third consecutive year.

No words express more pride than this introduction for it ushers in a university musical aggregation which is second to none. And yet, the students which comprise this group are anything but professional musicians. They will some day take their places in the fields of law, medicine, engineering, and business, but this year they have taken their places on the drill field as one of the outstanding marching bands in the country. Of course, where a group of this size is concerned, there must Ik men who manage, who plan, and just plain work. These men constantly came up with new formations and drills which, incidentally, the band executed at a cadence of 180 steps per minute. Practice sessions all week long prepare these men for apj� carances at football games, reviews, and | ep rallies. The Stadium Review in December is just one of the many high points in an eventful year. Oh yes! the band meml ers attend classes too. Hats off to a fine organization! THE VARSITY MARCHING BAND!

Pope I would like to have this man in the Pretorian Guard. “The play’s the thing.” Shakespeare said it and the Pitt Players proved it not once, but four times this year. “Androclcs and the Lion” was the opener for the season followed by “The Male Animal” and The Grass Harp.” The final play of the season was a play on British politics and aristocracy entitled “Yes Mv-Lord.” In an effort to make students more aware of the Pitt drama group and the benefits which may be derived from it, the players this year initiated a new plan whereby the various service and honorary groups on campus were invited to preview showings of the plays. These groups included such organizations as the Pitt News, Alpha Phi Omega and the Heinz Chapel Choir. First Row: M. Jones. H. Kchhy, G. Gath, S. Phillips, N. Schwinn, L. Chianrse, R. Palkovitz. P.

Kropp. The men behind the scenes play an indis-pensible role along with the actors on stage. Theater technicians, the production staff and the administrators all function along with the actors to make a solid, well knit organization. Just as the hero gets his reward at the end of the play, so do the Pitt Players get their rewards at the end of the year when their annual banquet is held. Students who have rendered outstanding service are awarded keys while others are granted active membership in the organization. The-atron,” undergraduate dramatics honorary, gives two awards at this time. One for the outstanding actor and one for the person who achieved most in the technical field. Androcles and the Lion 29 “A martyr, Lavinia, is a fool.” You turn the other check when you're struck, I am told.” I think wc must have another drink . . possibly.” “And before you go. be sure to call Maple 4307.” I warn you that if you persist in persecuting Thomas Turner, you will have a fight on your hands, my friends.” The Male Animal The Pittsburgh Drama League acknowledges the top actor of the year while the Players give additional awards to the outstanding supporting actor, the | erson who has done most in a specific phase of technical work, and to the person who has been most conscientious in the field of business and publicity for the Players. The Players do not restrict their members to students in any particular field of study. The only requisite is a desire to participate in dramatics. Profcwnh Turner’s re -i-dcnce!” 80 Just open your eyes, 1500 dollars.” “It's too long to l e alone a lifetime.” The Grass Harp “Lay one hand on us, sheriff, and I'll kick your teeth in.' “Collin, won’t you come to my Halloween party.1” Love is a chain of love, as nature is a chain of life.' 31 Let’s try the chorus again.

Suzanne Janos Anna Mae Bartirome Norma Ilandlos Theresa Seboly Mr. Kniseley Through the voices of the group of young ladies, one can see they are happy when the time arrives for them to get together to sing. The tunes arc directed by their new director Phillip Kniseley. who leads them in singing such songs as Father Williams from Alice in Wonderland. Lobster Quadrilly, Coming Through the Rye, and Why do I Lore You- The women in the choral group have the highest respect for each other. They have also gained a greater appreciation of both classical and modern music. “This organization gives a feeling of friendship and just belonging”, says Barbara McCants. Other members say “For any women interested in singing, learning a variety of melodies and making new friends—the Women’s Choral is the best.” First Rmc: S. P. Kniseley, G. I.opes, A. Bartirome, L.

Together, however, they form a rather remarkable vocal group, the Pitt Men’s dlee Club. Directed by Colin C. Stern, the dlee Club started the year by electing Don Gardner as president and Rob Foley as secretary. Samson Air Force Rase and Niagara Falls were the first of many stops in a busy schedule. There were many stops in western Pennsylvania in the spring tour ending with a special invitation to the Masonic Conservatory. Appearances at the Chancellor’s Reception and February’s graduation exercises rounded out a varied schedule. Pitt students will always find Dr. Luccock's door open, and they’ll find that he’s never too busy to listen to their religious problems, regardless of their creed. Chancellor Rufus II. Fitzgerald. Paul Sehrad-ingand Dr. Emory Luecock have just finished discussing plan for the Campus Chapel Services. Many of the .services at Heinz Chapel arc led by students themselves. Here wc find Ross Reese leading services. 86 Chuck Lawrence seems to be enjoying the company of this shy young Miss. Dinner is a must with the Canterbury Association before they start their meeting. Canterbury Association The Canterbury Association of the University of Pittsburgh aims to serve Christianity in a higher education by fostering among its members a tatter understanding of the faith and practices of the Episcopal Church. Among the services rendered to its members the association serves Holy Communion each week on Thursday. It also has an added function of consultations with the Episcopal ministers for its members who might like to talk over something, or to straighten themselves out on some point of religion. Membership is open to all students who are Episcopalian, or who are interested in the Episcopalian Church. As a social club, the Canterbury Association is also quite active, as can be seen by its popular dinner-dances once a month and its weekly social dinners which is a very good incentive to get mem-tars to meeting on time. After the meeting the group stays for n session of music. Pitt students, sitting around in the Y.M.II.A. Ilillel lounge, arc enjoying an informal discussion. It is often difficult in a large University to participate in the activities and interests of a group with a similar faith as your own. The Hillel Foundation, however, with its many varied activities around campus, has trieel to make it possible for more Jewish students to participate in a religious organization. In September and February, they sponsored a Freshman tea; and in the Heligion-in-Lifc Week program, Ilillel took a deep interest. During the year, Ilillel also combines with other Religious organizations on campus in the Pitt Inter-Faith Square Dance. Hut, the Ilillel Foundation has a more serious side to their activities; weekly Jewish religious services are held, and there are also classes on the Modern Trend of Jewish Thought”— both helping to interest many students of other faiths at Pitt. Rabbi Feldman, Hillel director, seems well pleased with the reception he received for his latest suggestion. Hillel Foundation Pres. V. Pres. Itec. Sec. T reas. Adv.

The Lutheran Student Association is one of the busiest religious organizations on campus. Their activities, however, are not limited to religious projects although that is the major function for which it exists. Barn dances, swim parties, and socials at the student center make up the lighter side of their schedule. On the more formal and serious side arc weekly Seminars in the New Testament, dinner rallies with representatives from Pitt, Tech, and PCW and the Nursing schools of the area meeting for an informal dinner and a discussion group afterwards. Their cooperation with other school groups as well as with those within their own university certainly helps to put across the true purpose of their organization.

This organization is not exactly a fraternity, but a close fellowship formed by the prc-theologieal students at the University. I’i Theta provides a common ground for the religious students to meet, understand, and appreciate the other faiths and denominations. Thomas Cooper was the first president of I’i Theta. Presiding at the bi-monthly meetings, he was capably assisted by Paul Schrading, chairman of Ueligion-in-Life Week; .John Bucher, president of the Lutheran student association; and advised by the university chaplain, I)r. Luccock. The main purpose of Pi Theta is to help the pre-theological members in choosing the best courses ami activities at the university for their purposes, and to acquaint others with the problems and opportunities of full time theological work.

Finney the work of the choir is to the end that the worship of God may have dignity and beauty and meaning. In the fifteen years of its existence the choir has achieved well deserved fame, not only at Pitt but throughout this section of the country. By its concert tours, its television appearances and performances at University functions it has become a symbolic representative of Pitt and Pittsburgh. Perhaps the best description of the purpose of the choir comes from one of its meml ers. He said: We practice our art for the service of God. Our rewards, quite various, and at times seemingly unrelated to our chief work, really have the functions at their foundations. The music we make, when we make it as we should, has important meaning only as it relates to that fundamental function. Dr. Theodore M. Finney, Director Firti Row: J. Baumgartel, X. Sheriff, X.

Roger William’s Fellowship The Roger Williams Fellowship is the name of the Baptist student fellowship for the Pittsburgh area. Organized in 1947, its headquarters are located in The First Baptist Church at Belle-field and Bayard Streets, very near the campus. Regular Thursday evening meetings of the Fellowship are held here and are open to young people of college age regardless of national background or church affiliation. The purposes of this group are inspiration, recreation, spiritual growth, training in Christian leadership, cooperative and coordinated campus and community service, education, and promotions of inter-denominational and inter-collegiate understanding. In a large university such as ours, this organization does much in bringing together many members and students. Roger Williams members, having informal talks, are waiting for their meeting to l egin.

Fn carrying out this program many social and community affairs form a basic part of the year’s schedule. Howling parties, a box social, dinner meetings, and weekend trips twice during the school year help to provide a varied social list that keeps the year a busy one.

There are many organizations in the University of Pittsburgh that help to make the students’ life more interesting. Academic and social activities. sports, clubs- all have a part. Hut aside from these extra-curricular distractions, on campus are found some organizations which help to spiritually guide the student. The Westminster Foundation with its desire to help university students discover a Christian world view, and a philosophy that provides an organizing principle for living as Christ’s disciples, is one of these. In carrying out this aim informal study seminars in the Bible, Christian classics and selected con-temporury works relevant for Christian higher education are held under the leadership of a university pastor. This organization is supported bv the Evangelical and Reformed Churches. Pint Roxr: X. Grace, X . Smith, J. Buchanan, C. Vagnoyzi. J. Tomer. R. Inglis. E. Skinner, G. Gray. Second Rou A. Wcldy, G.

It is one of the outstandingly active Religious groups on campus. Its annual Caritas ceremony, United Nations Institute, Religion-in-Life participation, and Bible study classes are part of the serious activities which it fosters. On the lighter side, during the year a Christmas party, a theater party, square dancing, and friendly fireside discussions attracted many student members. When you walk into the Y office on the 12th floor you become well aware of the spirit of friendliness and the atmosphere of goodwill which this organization helps to create. YWCA Pres. Helen More V.

For two years the directory has listed both male and female students. The members of this honorary arc in continuous service to Pitt. Some of these exercises include ushering at commencement exercises, proctoring a Freshmen Week events and also for the men’s customs exams; and Pitt Chest Fund speakers and workers. One of the chief projects in 1953 was working at summer scout camps. Since Alpha Phi Omega is an honorary scouting service fraternity, the chapter at Pitt works in cooperation with Pittsburgh Hoy Scout troops on many projects. There are now 242 similar chapters throughout the United States although Pitt was the second of its kind to be formed. Alpha Phi Omega Pres. Dave Mitchell V. Pres. Milton Griffith Sec.

The Cwens this year have lived up to the pur|M sc of their organization, part of which is: through their service to the campus, to serve the university. And the Cwens arc really busy serving the university, besides the student directory, they interpret the nationality rooms for the visitors, giving interesting sidelights on each room and on the artists who created them. And if that weren’t enough to keep these girls busy, Cwens also act as advisors to the freshman guilds. This organization is not entirely service however, on December sixth the girls got together with the Cwen organization from Carnegie Tech as a part of their well planned social program. And in this way arc serving the university again by promoting their inter-collegiate relations. First Rote: S. Caroorlla, S. Errand, E. Adler. It- KuU. A. Moritz, II. Ilallnm. I). Rubin, 1). I).

In keeping with this premise, a 2.0 avenge or 1 letter is necessary for membership in the fraternity. Men and women who are invited to join are challenged to consistently maintain their high scholastic standing. With a foundation as solid as this.

In line with this policy, the house becomes a center of activity at the start of rushing and everyone pitches in to make the place sparkle for the rushccs. Social affairs continue throughout the season and feature barn dances, a formal, and picnics in the spring.

Brought to the fore early in the first semester, the blazer caught the eye of the student body, and now most of the sharper men about school are wearing them. The men in this honorary have not made this their only activity as is exemplified by the roster of the organization. Among their members arc Elmer Shuster, president of Inter-fraternity council and Omicron Delta Kappa and Paid Shrading, President of the YMCA. The Druids tap| ed their new members this year at the Social-tapping on December fourth.

There is a great deal of pride evident when Pitt students talk about the Varsity Marching Band. And behind that high stepping group of bandsters is the Kappa Kappa Psi, service fraternity. Members of Kappa Kappa Psi print the band newspajjers, provide T-shirts and sweaters and sponsor the “Bandsman of the Year” award. When a visiting band is served hot coffee, donuts, or cider, it’s Kappa Kappa Psi members who are responsible. The organizing of the band shows is also a major job of the honorary, along with assisting in the direction of the performances. After the Penn State game, the members sponsored a formal in the Georgian Hoorn of Webster Hall. They also sponsored the annual banquet for the band alumni. 1958-54 marked the sixth year on campus for this fraternity. Members have found that the band is not all marching and music because Kappa Kappa Psi plans for the year many social affairs—some stag, but more often date affairs. It's practice like this that makes the land reviews so good. Front: J. P. Reynolds, D. J. Timko, C. R. Wolf, J. A. Martucci. R. L. Arthur, M. II. Rudov, II. Clarke, B. E. Bcnack. J. K. Greenberg.

Besides all the planning for rushing parties and pledge period. Lambda Kappa Sigma members found time to have bake sales and many informal gatherings. Proceeds from the sales were used to extend the fraternity’s scientific and social program. Pitt’s undergraduate chapter was particularly proud of its close bond with the Delta Graduate Chapter of the fraternity in the School of Pharmacy. Unique in its field, the fraternity allows an opportunity for similarly interested students to become acquainted, and enjoy their common interest in pharmacy.

The student solons obtained a better over-all picture of the University through the talks and the oj cn discussions which followed and used the knowledge thus gained to increase their efficiency in coping with student problems. Under an ambitious program of objectives and projects, the members had their work cut out for them and found the life of a congressman to be a busy one if not an easy task. They had their ups and downs with legislative problems but a list of the SC achievements this year is impressive. Their annual High School Day program was an outstanding success as well as a colorful event in the Fall semester.

MC is also investigating the possibility of a faculty-advisory system which would give each student a faculty advisor during his four years at Pitt. This would lessen the confusion for the freshman students and aid the upperclass members in planning their schedules. Men’s Council always seems to find time to remember the student and his problems and lend a helping hand. 77 Men’s Council members look over the plans for the renovation of the eighth floor. Members discuss last year's Pan-Hellenic Ball. The executive body of Panhcllcnic Association which includes in its membership every sorority woman on campus, is Panhcllcnic Council. Consisting of three representatives from each sorority, Council strives to increase each group’s appreciation of the others and to help sororities function as an integral | art of the extracurricular program of the University. In the Fall, freshman women were introduced to sororities as a group at the informal reception in the Commons Room. Also, in the Fall semester l’an-Hel Council sent $180.00 to the Dutch war orphan that they have adopted. In the Spring of the year, Pan-Hcl joined with IK Council for the annual Greek Sing.

Hut by February Hop time, Teddi was an experienced officer and had plans made for a new type of bimonthly seminars for senior women. The seminars were on a variety of subjects to interest different senior women in politics, art, travel, home-making, etc. The seminars were planned as a means of drawing women together to share ideas, and to foster a spirit of class unity. During the spring semester there was the Rose Tea and the annual Class Dinner that all the girls helped to prepare on the twelfth floor in the new kitchen. And then it was goodbye for the 1954 senior girls, but with them they will take a lot of happy memories of their four years. Pres. Teddi Arvanitas V. Pres. Carol Woodgate Sec. Nancy Creasy Treas.

Freshman Council girls discuts candidates for officers. Freshman Council “According to the book of rules and regulations, this is the way wc’H have to proceed. The Women’s Freshman Council is composed of two representative members selected from each of the Dean’s Conference groups. This active group serves as a co-ordinating link between all the activities of the Freshman class. There are thirty-four elected members who arc divided into three executive sections: the By Laws Committee, the Social Committee and the Historical Committee. These committees not only serve as the central guide for all activities of freshman women that go on during the year, but also formulate the policy of that particular freshman class for the four coming college years. This organization helps to introduce the freshman women to the University and not only develops a fine lx� nd between the girls themselves, but also creates a feeling of cooperation, friendship and loyalty towards the University.

Charles Suprock Editor THE OWL To a great many students the Otcl is just a large ledger to which in later years they can refer to prove to unbelieving grandchildren that they really did attend college. But to those who produced it and whose talents went into it, the Otcl is not just a book; it is part of them. To the staff the things to be remembered are not how good the pictures were or how well the book was laid out, but the experiences they had and the friends they made during their years on the staff. This year’s staff was headed by Chuck Sup-rock and Karl Meyers, who used his experience as business manager of the 1953 Otcl to the utmost. Karl planned and carried out a successful year for the Otcl. Managing his staff with a practiced hand, he appointed Alan Skirboll as circulation manager and Al, with less than a thousand portraits of seniors and undergraduates taken, worked doubly hard to sell the required number of subscriptions. Mark Friedman, organizations manager, did a fine job of contacting the various organizations and finding out exactly what their needs were. One of the most pleasant surprises on Karl’s staff was Bob Wilkins, who took care of advertising; it was Bob’s first year on the staff and he managed through hard work to send the advertising budget over the top. Hounding out the business staff were Mimi Weiss, publicity manager, and Eugene Reinbold, circulation. First Row: Dr. D. E. Swarts, L. Ducrr, D. Swider, B. Fclser, I.. D. Gwillim. C. Suprock, K.

Pasekoff, P. Gilliland, M. Friedman. Sandy Chester, sororities editor, and John Obitz, fraternities editor, rarely saw each other this year but managed to coordinate their combined section quite well. Where John, who was working full time at night and student teaching during the day, found the time to put out all the frats is still a mystery. Don Gwillim, who had originally been appointed associate editor, was forced to resign from the staff early in the year, much to the disappointment of the editor and the staff. However, Don did well with the fine arts section in what time he had. Seriously now, we can’t print tluit.' “And this time, don't forget to use film!' Joe makes sure that lk bbi gets the right copy. Chuck Suprock had under him one of the finest staffs in years. Associate Kditor Jack Caldwell who also served as photo editor did double duty and doubly well. Paul Gilliland, classes editor, ably edited his section, which was combined with (Jinny Frced-land’s spcciul section; both of them labored through the confusion of setting up and producing an entirely new tyjH of section. When Bobbi Douglas came to the office at the beginning of the fall semester, neither Chuck nor organizations editor, Joe Banik had any idea that she would become such an invaluable member of the staff. But when the second deadline came and the entire organizations section was to go in, Co-editors Bobbi and Joe came through with flying colors. Turn ami Paul look over tin- pictures of the New awl Owl basketball game. Tom Vrana, mainstay of the photo staff, was the answer to Jack’s every wish as a photographer. Taking over the rough chore of typing editor again this year was Cynthia Aberman. Her one-girl staff, Addie Wilson, was seeing senior names in her sleep from her long stint at the keyboard. Jim Hunter held down the position of sports editor, a tricky assignment. Paul Gilliland finished the section when Jim wasn’t able to continue. Clinny Freeland and Paul Masoncr sire a picture. Karl's face brighten up a the money come in. We were not without aid from other publications. Bill Svcc and Jim Fallon became bona fide members of the staff after doing three months of work for the Old in the fall semester. Tim Kovar stayed several nights, “just to help out.” Lois Duerr: typist, caption writer, picture sizer, and humorist didn't hold an editorial position, but not a deadline went by without her being there to help. Literary, a tough assignment, consisting of the production of the many thousands of words that go into this annual, again went to Joan Stigers this year. These are the | cople who make up the Old staff. They have produced this book for you. They had a good time doing it. 'You 'goofed'! The Pitt News The PiU AVmw adopted a new feature in the Fall semester to give better coverage to social activities sponsored by small organizations and dubbed it “Pittpourri.” The enthusiastic response to the column has been characteristic of many of the NEWS features this year. Under Editor-in-Chief Tim Kovar, a comparatively green staff undertook the task of maintaining their Associated Collegiate Press All-American rating which they have obtained for nine of the last ten semesters. With nine assistant editors, an editorial staff of 30 students, and a business staff of 10 under Business Manager Joe Shuler, the NEWS buckled down to the business of reporting the daily goings-on at Skyscraper U.

Joseph Schuler Businets Manager Their biggest news break of the season was undoubtedly the announcement of the 15 million dollar grant to the Medical School from the Mellon Foundations. The NEWS was fortunate enough to publish the entire story at the same time the downtown papers printed the story, earning the praise of their professional brother journalists. Sports Editor Russ Frankc and his staff had a busy time chasing the Panthers around the country to follow the football games and had the added task of spotting the games for Ray Scott. They instituted the first All-American college football selections by the editors of college newspapers and gained national fame for their efforts. Credit for good sharp reporting went to staffers John DeNinno, Cecy Lincoff, Jim DeWeese, Judy Gotterer, Nancy Jones, Nancy Schor, and Irv Rothman. Meanwhile, the business staff was faced with the traditional battle of income vs. expenditures and managed to keep the NEWS running smoothly despite increased costs. Ellic Stone takes down a few choice words from Jim Bender. Dave Green gives a few pointers to some interested reporters. James Fallon Editor Skyscraper Engineer This past semester marked the third full year of publication of the Skyscraper Engineer, a semi-technical magazine. This year Mr. James A. Fallon was the editor and the quality of the magazine attests to Jim’s proficiency.

Paul learned one |K t phrase this past year, “It costs too much.” Paul deserves a great deal of praise for keeping such a good eye on the budget. Nick Sirianni was Paul’s able helper, and a very hard working assistant business manager. William McKenna handled the circulation of the magazine.

Included are columns such as the “Greek Corner” which is fraternity and sorority news, New Products” describing current therapeutic remedies on the market, and their uses, and news of graduates in the “Alumni News.” Since the Capsule was first organized in 1947, it has become one of the major student activities of the Pharmacy students. It provides an opportunity for students to work in a field other than the major one of science, and thus develops a variety of interests. The Pitt Capsule first Rotr: G.Markis, Z. Horovitz. F.

These courses give to the student a wide scope covering all the necessary qualifications for a business life that will lead to a secure future. Also, the school for the first time this year has offered majors. This is a long step in the direction of specialization, which is in demand by firms ami industries of today. These specialized fields, some of which are; real estate, finance, marketing, and insurance. These fields which before had only ! ccn covered generally, have now been treated with the detail deserved a complicated affair such as they are.

As the preclinical period was completed, beginning nursing students were honored at the “Capping ceremony.” Seniors were honored at the “Black Banding Ceremony,” and final recognition was given the graduating students at the “Pinning Ceremony.” The ability to serve as highly trained nurses and a sense of positive security were just two of the rewards which the students received at the end of their five-year training program. They entered their profession, secure in the knowledge that they had received training which stands second to none in their field. The new Nurses' Residence provides a wonderful place for the students to relax together in a home like atmosphere. MARGARET S. AUSTIN Pittsburgh. Pa. School of Xurging PATRICIA R.

At Pharmacy School students acquire a wide and accurate knowledge of chemicals which they will later put to use. Future pharmacists get actual practice in filling prescriptions and typing their labels. Pitt’s School of Pharmacy, now in its seventy-sixth year, offers much to its students. The Pharmacy School is located off the main campus, and as a result, many student activities have developed there, either to augment or replace other campus organizations. 'I'he student branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association serves to keep the students in close contact with the day-to-day happenings of their profession. Prominent visiting speakers round out the activities of this group. Student affairs are handled by the Pharmacy Student Council, the active governing body of the school. The five professional and honorary fraternities have banded together to form the Pharmacy Inter-Fraternity Council, for the purpose of liaison between fraternal groups. In addition, students of the upjwr two classes have the opportunity of visiting manufacturing plants in other states as well as local pharmacy wholesalers. The combination of work, play, travel, and study makes for full preparation of pharmacy graduates who are equipped to take their places in the ranks of the Health Professions. The laboratory of the I’lmrmncy School gives the student an opportunity to learn how a drug store can lx efficiently run. Dean Kdward C. Reif. 184 HALIM G. ALAM Pharmacy SAMUEL K.

Undergraduates and underdogs! Such might he the ease in certain colleges and universities but not at Pitt. It is also frequently the custom to plan a yearbook with total emphasis on graduating seniors. Milt at Pitt emphasis is placed on the entire student body which makes Pitt the internationally known University that it has come to be. Emerson had a phrase for it. “Our knowledge is the amassed thought and experience of innumerable minds.” Undergraduate students become an integral part of the university when they enter their first class and remain a part of Pitt for the rest of their lives. Opportunities for participation in government, publications and all phases of student activity are virtually unlimited to all students, be they freshmen or seniors. An industrious student can often use the study tables in the Commons Room to work on his next assignment. Regardless of which school in the University students are enrolled, they can find an unlimited source of material in the libraries. ROBERT J. AIRHART Pittsburgh. Pa. Engineering SARAH A.

SCHOOL OF RETAILING Advertising managers, buyers, controllers, employment directors— these are the positions for which men and women train at Pitt’s School of Retailing. The year of graduate study is one of concentration on the field of retailing as projected from the points of view of many and varied type stores and from the teachings of professors who themselves have retail experience. The School of retailing has preparer! graduate students for careers in retailing for 86 years and from a class of few students has grown to classes of up to one hundred students. Undoubtedly, most of this growth is due to the soundness of the program. However, Pittsburgh itself is an attraction to students of retailing since Pittsburgh is The city of department Stores,” having greater department store volume than any other city of comparable size. Pittsburgh serves as an ideal laboratory in training for retailing careers. Students of the School in their own retailing library. A few of the students relaxing in the student lounge of the School of Retailing. Actually, the retail stores cooperate with the School of Retailing bv becoming an extension of the classroom and successful store executives become, in effect, part of the teaching staff. They give students the benefit of their experience; they share with the students their solutions to the problems which retailers meet. Generally, they ease the way for students who will hold retailing positions of their own in less time than a year. Students of the School of Retailing have the added advantage of being paid for the time they work in the stores during the school year. The School of Retailing confers the Master of Retailing Degree upon those who meet the requirements of the School. The degree is conferred, not on the sole Iwsis of grades earned, but also is based upon individual { erformanee which indicates the applicant as good or poor executive material. 404 Albert B. Smith, Acting Dean, School of Retailing. The School of Retailing is located on the 19th and 20th floors of the Cathedral of Learning. From especially designed classrooms to the housing of the world’s largest library devoted to retailing subjects, the floors have been planned for effective and efficient training of future retail executives. The faculty and administrative offices and the student lounge are also on these floors. Acting as dean is Professor Albert 11. Smith who has been associated with the school since 1938 in teaching and administrative capacities. Professor Smith has inspired hundreds of youthful retailers with his own enthusiasm and example of leadership—with his sympathetic understanding, capable direction and guidance.

Seminar arc: to encourage young electrical engineers to keep the students in close contact with the practicing field, and to keep the A.I.E.E.’s abreast of the latest developments. In 1915, five seniors, representing the Electrical Engineering Department, attended the first seminar of A.I.E.E. Since that time the seminar has grown steadily into one of the most active seminars. The student representation in the chapter is forty times as great as that of the l c-ginning class, that is, that the enrollment is now almost two hundred. That figure includes all the juniors and seniors in the Electrical Engineers in the school. On fourth hour each Thursday all EE’s move toward their designated classroom, by doing so being granted one-half credit toward graduation.

Harry Wolfarth Actually the American Institute of Industrial Engineers 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 the industry. The A.I.I.K. celebrates its birthday simultaneously with the school of industrial engineering here at Pitt. Relaxing at various 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. letter the same month, the members and their dates sponsor a picnic party for the association.

Many beneficial projects for the future teachers were undertaken. In Nov. a panel discussion on the problems of student teaching was held. The supervisory teachers were able to give the girls first-hand advice on the subject. A.B.G. provided a room on the 26th floor where the girls obtained material for their student teaching. An educational T.V. program and panel discussion for radio were planned. The Alpha Beta Gamma’s combined social affairs to establish unity among elementary education students.

Pitt’s chapter of Alpha Tau Delta was founded eight years ago to foster friendship among Pitt’s nursing students. In those eight years the chapter has come to mean much to many Pitt nursing students. The main social affairs of the ATD’s are two formats, one in December and one in April. At Christmas time the girls get together for a worthy Christmas project. Their meetings feature prominent speakers who stimulate discussions on the field of nursing. Last year, Pitt’s chapter was honored by a visit from Miss Miriam Furlong, the national president. 215 FirM Rote: N. Watzmnn, N. I.ipmsn, H. OrUnaky, A. Ilorovitz, M. Lenich. L. I.icpack, R.

Kappa Psi was founded in 1879 and since then professional advancement has been their goal. In 1913 Beta Kappa Chapter became active at Pitt and today it joins thirty-four collegiate chapters in advancing professionalism and fraternalism, making Kappa Psi one of the largest professional fraternities in the United States. Various informal and formal affairs, plus an active pledging period comprised the social calendar for the chapter this year. The Alvin J. Vavro Award was made to an outstanding sophomore of the School of Pharmacy. 225 The weights of medicines must be perfect. Future pharmacists searching through their library. Happy people make good social workers. The Pre-Social Work Club at Pitt offers interested students in the field a chance to gain a better understanding of social work as a profession. A pre-professional organization, the club attempts to stimulate interest in the field by sponsoring discussions with faculty members, local agency staff members and visiting national leaders. Lois M. James, chairman of the club, and I)r. Merrill B. Conover, the advisor for the group have tried to set up a program for the many students who are interested in that type of work but do not plan to pursue social work as a career. Social activities of the organization included dances, picnics in local parks, and what Lois terms “just plain get-togethers.” Pre-Social Work Club Chairman Lois M. James Advisor Dr. Merrill B.

Together the girls “cultivate and encourage high scholastic and ethical standards, improve the social status of the race, promote unity and friendship among college women.” This past year has been a busy one for the chapter of AKA at Pitt. In addition to their many philanthropic duties, they also managed to produce one of the most active social seasons ever.

Not just thinking of themselves, the girls entertained a group of orphans from a local children’s home at a Christmas party. Fascinating gifts, Santa Claus, and movies provided a delightful afternoon for the children and the sorority girls. The boys and girls were reluctant to leave the pretty girls on Bigelow Blvd. and we can readily understand why. Besides the fine sorority spirit shown by the ADPi’s this year, there was also evidence of their school spirit on campus. Louise Tibero was on the Transfer Committee and Jody Mcllvain an active Cwen.

The old members, along with their two new transfer sisters, spent the week prior to school by moving furniture, painting, hanging drapes, and turning the apartment into a new and lieautiful home under the leadership of Rita Gordon, the new president. When the moving was finished, the girls settled down to a new year of scholarship, social events, and school. Estelle Adler moved back into her position as president of Mortar Hoard; Doris Hart Rubin returned to the vice-presidencv of WSGA; Joan Hirsch took over as president of Women’s Speech; Ada Joseph returned to Student Congress meetings as its secretary; and Cynthia Abcrman and Clara Jeanne Coojnrr again donned their purple robes to sing in the Heinz Chapel Choir. The month of November was a whirl of social events for the A. E. Phi’s.

Phi Kappa has its share of fun. but it is clearly seen from their own statement of purpose that parties arc not the only aim of this organization. They take part in the canned food drive, and hold an annual party for the orphans. And in addition to this interest in their community, they are always trying to make improvements concerning themselves—a parking lot project with reconditioning, enlarging and resurfacing is being carried on and, their house is undergoing a face lifting job with sandblasting and re-painting. With proof such as this, it is correct to say that Phi Kappa is unquestionably an alert and active fraternity. Fir ft Row: M. O'Riordan, A. Arabia, V. Guaky, L. Denuizio, R. Biglcy, L. Miller, R. A.

The Theta Chi’s also held two rousing stag parties beside a smoker for their Alums, and sprinkled throughout the year were numerous house parties that no Theta Chi will forget. The Theta Chi’s also have a love for the orphans of Pittsburgh, when at Christmas time they drop everything and provide a joyous Christmas Party with all the trimmings for the orphans.

And how anxious they must have been to start it! The social conscious girls of ZTA began the year with a tea for Alumnae and chose to wind it up with a swimming party. In between were tea dances, Christmas and spring formals, a Bam Dance and the annual Mother-Daughter Banquet. But the ZTA’s didn’t forget their favorite charity, the Cerebral Palsy Fund. Each member pledged money towards the treating and training of palsied children. And the girls are especially proud of their Scholarship Loan Fund open to any girl in Pitt. The Zetas have had special cause to congratulate some of their sisters this year. Rose Scarpi-ello won four-hundred dollars in a nationwide essay contest sponsored by the Order of Elks; Lois Gcschwindt was secretary of the Class of '55 and treasurer of Pan-IIcllenic Council; Barbara Russell served as chairman of the Scholastic Honors Committee and Mary Ruth Chisar represented her class of ’54 at W.S.G.A.

As one of their projects which they hope will continue through the history of the chapter is the scholarship fund. This fund set up by the fraternity itself is parceled out to a deserving undergraduate each year. At their rushing events this year the Alphas showed prizefight films with Joe Louis as the main contestant, and after the movies they had their usual, or it should be said their unusual chicken dinner.

Hut whatever the reason, the season ended on as dismal a note as it began, and the Panthers held a meager 3-5-1 chart to show for their efforts. After an unexpectedly strong showing the year before, when they defeated Notre Dame, Army, and three Big Ten schools in their 6-3 record, the Panthers ranked high among Eastern grid powers. Some experts rated Pitt number one in the East in the pre-season roundups; local observers already had spots picked in the post-season bowl games. But along came the rigors of conversion to the single platoon system to spoil the well-laid plans of Coach Lowell Red” Dawson in his second term at the helm. As was the case all over the collegiate world, erstwhile specialists had to learn to handle new jobs, and many first-stringers were found lacking in all-around ability. E. HcfTerlc, W. Cummins, R. Timmons, L. Dawson, R. Fricdlund, S. Petro, J. Michelosen. 313 It was evident at the very start of the season that Red Dawson’s forces had trouble adjusting themselves. More than 42,000 fans watched rival West Virginia push the locals to a savory 17-7 victory around the Stadium turf in the opening game. Some of the disappointment abated the following Saturday, however, when the underdog Bluc-and-Gold managed to hold |H werful Oklahoma to a 7-7 tie, in a game that either team might easily have won. Little did the Stadium followers suspect that Oklahoma was to defeat the nation’s number one team, Maryland, in the Orange Bowl three months later.

In these two games and in the three which followed, the Redhead started five men at left half —Chet Rice, Bill Hoffman, Ray DiPas-quale, John Jacobs, and Dick Manson— before deciding upon Manson as his choice. In the third game, Nebraska fell victim to the Panthers, 14-6, although the latter looked far from impressive in their first win. By this time Henry Ford had established himself as the first string quarterback, after getting the nod over Hoffman, Xeft, and Mattioli. Ford’s superb defensive play at safety won him the job.

Pitt 14 Nebraska 6 Pitt took to the road the following week for the “big one” with Notre Dame as the first stop on a four-game trip. The Panthers had pulled one of their biggest upsets in years the season before, and all things pointed to a rousing battle with the revenge-minded Irish. And it really was a battle—for the first half, at least. The visitors stunned the capacity crowd when they scored the first time they got their hands on the ball, and left the field at halftime with a 14-7 lead. The tide turned sharply, however, in the third quarter following a safety in the Pitt end zone, and the Leahy men used their reserve power to grind the Panthers right out of the ball game. Zombck appeared too late to block for McCabe. 316 The 23-14 loss at South Bend seemed to take the starch out of the locals, for they dropped the next two contests to Northwestern and Minnesota. So far the Oaklanders most obvious deficiency lay in their passing attack, so much so that the opposition seemed to lx setting up their defenses strictly against the running of Bobby Epps, the leading ground-gainer who turned in magnificent performances throughout the game. Richie McCabe and Ray Ferguson were doing satisfactory jobs alternating at right halfback. Questionable officiating and ragged play cost a victory to an equally ragged Northwestern team. 27-21, in the second road encounter.

It whs not until the Panthers invaded Virginia that they snapped out of their tailspin, when they easily trampled the Cavaliers, 26-0. For the first time Dawson was able to give some of his reserves a chance to crack the lineup. The easy victory proved costly for Kldrcd Kracmer, star tackle, suffered a shoulder separation which put him out for the season. This made the line situation critical, for guards Ed Stowe and Hudv Grun-der already had been put out of action. The forward wall had been weakened at the start when tackle Lou Palatella broke a leg and had to sit out the entire campaign. Dick Gatz, Bill Schmitt, and Bill Cessar filled in at his spot, and Howard Linn took over Kraenier’s vacancy. Fortunately, Dawson had enough suitable guurds to relieve any pressure at that spot—Joe Los, Harold Hunter, Bob Kennedy, and John Ccnci pulling reserve duty. Despite recurrent injuries, Captain Dick Dei-trick continued to stand out at end, along with Joe Zombck. Jack Paluck, Bob McQuaidc, and Fred Glatz. Bill Adams had been lost earlier with a leg injury. The center position, too, was deep in top-flight performers—Ed Bose, Ed Johnson, Bob Ballock, and Gary LeDonne. The squad returned from its travels after the Virginia game and proceeded to humble a hapless Wolfpack from North Carolina State, 40-6. The victory unveiled a new star in Bob Grier, a sub fullback playing behind Epps and Joe Capp. Grier gained 298 yards—two short of the Pitt record— in a stunning display of speed and power that afternoon. Halfback Don Michaels, who had been playing behind Gene Steratorc also broke into the lineup as a regular. At this point, the won-lost record read 3-4-1 and the Blue-and-Gold had one last chance to even up the chart for the season. A Dawson-coached team had never before compiled a losing record, and only Penn State loomed as a possible spoiler in the finale at the stadium. Pitt 40 North Carolina State 6 Pitt fans were doomed to disappointment, however, as the Panthers suffered their only whitewash of the season, 17-0. Aside from more fine running by Grier, the Panthers could do little in the way of offense against the towering State line and fell before the sharp passing of Tony Ratios and the deadly running of Lenny Moore. The game marked the final appearances of seven seniors—'Deitrick, Epps, Zombek, Capp, Ferguson, Adams, and Ken Voytell. Bob Grier on the start of n eighty-seven yard jaunt.

The “men on the flying trapeze” put up a good showing in spite of the fact that some of them had never com peted in gym events before and although competent, were inexperienced. Coach Warren Xeiger had his boys competing on the ] arallel bars, horizontal bars, flying rings, sidehorsc, rojR-climb, and tumbling (not to Ik- confused with tripping over one’s foot). The gymnasts took to the road twice in their first year of competition but came home with losses to both West Virginia and Ohio State. With a few more performers and a little experience under their belts the boys in tights should attract some attention next year.

Under the tutelage of Sgt. Bob Davidson in his first year, the Pitt varsity rifle team continued to Ik a threat in the Greater Pittsburgh Rifle League. Only West Virginia has been the obstacle in keeping the Panther sharpshooters from the title in the loop’s three-year history. The Mountaineers were the only riflers to beat Pitt in the past season. The local squad, however, posted victories over all the other members of the league, besides topping an outside rival, Ohio State. Top men for the Panthers were Tom Shepard, Dave Jacobson, Rob Stanger, Jim Cleary, Rell Kelly, Al Johnson, ami Dick Greene. Shepard is the veteran of the squad.

Pitt retained the city IM crown in football as Phi Delta Theta beat Duquesne’s champion, 26-20. The Dukes had previously defeated Tech and the Phi Delts had won the Pitt title by eliminating the Collegians, Independent League winners. Titlists in the all-campus wrestling tournament also went on to further honors by whipping Tech’s best grapplers, 17-13. Basketball got a late start in 1954 under a new setup-hoop play did not start until the second semester, whereas it formerly began in early winter, thus enabling the Field House to be used. A total of 43 teams entered in the various leagues —frat, professional, independent, engineering, club, and all-star. “Watch this wicked serve.” The en garde position ... the Pitt Fencing Club.

Through active participation in W'RA the students have an opportunity for relaxation and development of their sports ability. S| orts contests with area schools have l ecn a significant part of this year’s program. Some of these events were luiskcthall games with Tech, swimming meets and general play days.

Thus the harriers proved to Ik- the winningest varsity group in Pitt athletics. Led by Walt Stars, Allen Gunderson, Don DelliGatti, and Mob Cherry, who usually made up the blanket, in which four or more runners finish before a single opponent breaks the tape, the harriers also copped second place iti the annual IC4A championships in New York. Michigan State edged past by only two points with 86. Other consistent winners for the Mlue-and-Gold” were Dan Sommer, Pete Kress, and Hon Sallade.

HISTORY Origin of Koppcrs Company. Inc., dates hack to June 10. 1907 when lleinrk-ii Koppcrs. a young Ccrman engineer who had devised a better way of Ix-ating chemical-recovery coke ovens, established engineering offices at Joliet. III. Koppcrs set alxiut building a nattery of his coke ovens for the Illinois Steel Company. The budding young steel industry of tin United States watched with interest, recognizing that the Koppcrs ovens made lx-tter coke, and at the same time recovered the gas. tar and other products which the old bee-hive ovens burned off. GROWTH From a small engineering firm, later purchased by American interests and moved to Pittsburgh. Koppcrs grew rapidly, entering new fields opened by the chemical-recovery coke ovens. To supply cities with gas and coke, it built for itself and operated several batteries of the coke ovens. It built plants for the recovery of benzene and toluene which were so badly needed for production of explosives during World War I. ft began to make tar products such as road and roofing materials, to find ways of getting more of the cltemical derivatives from tar. and to utilize certain chemicals that could lx recovered from the coking process. Experience at building complicated coke oven lotteries led Koppcrs into other fields of metallurgical engineering and construction. Tex lav Koppers and its Freyn Engineering Department are known throughout the world as builders of superior blast furnaces, sintering plants, rolling mills and entire integrated steel plants. Koppers is a world leader in designing and constructing coke oven plants World War II saw a need for synthetic rubber, and the government. recognizing Koppers ability in constructing specialized chemical plants, asked it to build a plant at Kobuta, Fa., to make styrene and butadiene, primary ingredients of synthetic rubber. After the war. Koppers purchased part of the Kobuta plant and converted it to the manufacture of the versatile plastic molding material—polystyrene. With five other chemical plants in operation. Koppers has become a growing unit of America's rapidly expanding chemical industry. RESEARCH Recognizing that continued growth demands unceasing efforts to lx tter serve industry and the public. Koppers places great emphasis on scientific research . . . research that makes many products bettor and many lx tter products possible. Koppers operates a new Research Center at Verona, Pennsylvania. where nearly 200 scientists, technicians and other research men and women work to create new and lx ttor products and processes. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES A career with Koppers offers the qualified college graduate interesting work, at gixxl pay and with a high degree of job security. Comprehensive training programs have been developed to prepare ou for an initial position and for future advancement. Executive positions are. with few exceptions, filled by those who have conx up through the ranks.

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 HEAT IS ON Every Day and Night In the plants that make iron, steel, glass, petroleum and aluminum many of the key processes are conducted at extremely high temperatures. Harnessing the heat in tU.e processes is the job performed by refractories. Refractories are standard and special shapes made from fire clay, magnesia, chrome ore, alumina, silica rock and many other minerals. They form the walls and linings of blast furnaces, open hearth furnaces, glass tanks, coke ovens, melting furnaces, heating furnaces, boiler settings and other structures where heat must be confined to do useful work. They must be produced in many different sizes and compositions of material to properly serve the various applications. Progress in industrial processes is frequently dependent upon the development of new and better refractories. During the last 88 years research by Harbison-Walker has led in the development of many new and vastly improved refractories — making possible improved glass, aluminum, iron, steel, and petroleum products. With mines, plants, and quarries in 14 states, Harbison-Walker is the world leader in refractor)' production and research.

Perhaps you arc aware of this. There is a dramatic story, for example, much too long, for this page, in the evolution of S. S. White Equipment for convenience and comfort in the dental operating room. It stems from “headrest that can be adapted to any kind of chair, well suited to the traveling dentist,” made by Dr. Samuel S. White in 1844, through the first self-cleansing cuspidor made in ’66, the first electric engine in 70, first all-metal chair in ’71, first chair to introduce the compensating seat and backrest in 72, the first hydraulic chair in 77, the first chair to give horizontal position in ’99, the first equipment unit in 1913. The list of “firsts is long, impressive, touches almost every phase of dentistry. In 1938 the S. S. White Master Unit brought modern styling into the operating room. In 1950, a new triumph in dentistry’s conquest over pain came with the introduction of the S. S. White “Airdcnt” Unit for cavity preparation by the “Air-brasive Technique”. This we hope you will remember always—we and all distributors of S. S. White products have a constant concern for you and your patients and strive always to provide superlative service in all we do and make for you. Proof of this will be evidenced in our free office planning service and convenient financing terms. Test us. Ask any distributor of S. S. White Equipment or write direct. STREET, PHILADELPHIA 5, PA.

Just a few words of appreciation to those to whom I cannot express enough appreciation. Karl Meyers, whose outstanding management and good humor were just what the doctor ordered, for the closeness and cooperation which is needed between the business and the editorial staffs. Jack Caldwell went through the year firing strobs, developing film, printing pictures and helping out on layout, typing, writing or anything else that needed to be done. His loyalty and talent were extended to the limit this year. Thanks, Jack. A1 Skirboll was another business staffer whose personality and ability were welcome and necessary. Hobbi Douglas, in her first year on the staff, did a volume of work that seemed impossible for such a little girl to manage. Thanks, Hobbi. Joe Hanik and I had become fast friends last year, and if it hadn’t been for Joe’s cheerfulness and ability to absorb the steam that I let off once in a while it would have been a much tougher year. Paul Gilliland breezed through what is usually one of the toughest sections of the book. Paul could always be counted on to produce when the deadline rolled around. Ix is Duerr became the ‘copy girl’ on the staff this year, besides being on the classes staff, she was always willing to type all those necessary little things that seem to Ik needed at the last moment. John Obitz did a fantastic job on the fraternities this year; with no previous experience he managed to meet a rough deadline in December that consisted of his entire section, a fine job Johnny. Joan Stigers, who poured out the thousands of words needed, is another to whom no words can express my thanks. Tom Vrana, another first year member, came to be depended upon for that crucial photo. You did a terrific job. Tom. With more space. I could go on to enumerate each member of the staff to say how much they’ve given to the OWL in time and talent. Hut knowing them, I know they realize the gratitude I feel towards them. The commercial firms and their representatives that helped me this year arc some of the finest people I know. They are: Donald Messinger and Mrs. Jewell Gates of Wm. J. Keller Inc.; Ralph Benz of the S. K. Smith Co.; and S. M. Fields of Delma Studios. Some of those here at the university to whom I would like to express my appreciation are: Mr. Theodore Biddle, Dean of Men; Mrs. Agnes Starrett, university editor; Mr. Thomas Jarrett, university photographer, for your help, cooperation and encouragement, many thanks. And finally, I would like to say ‘thank you’ to my family. Though I had to give them a picture of me, so that they would remember what I looked like, my mother ami my father were unflagging in their interest and loyalty. And to him that follows, may 1 wish you the luck of having the same tyjK of staff that has been my pride and joy this year.
