. UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH AY :'' A LIBRARY JOHN T. CALDWELL JR. . EDITOR H % ' :l THE WORLD TIT A TRIBUTE TO A UNIVERSITY DEDICATED TO TRAINING STUDENTS NOT ONLY FOR A NATION, BUT FOR A WORLD “We all realize that communications, transportation, and war have brought the world closer together. Some have had optimistic faith that closer relations might mean better relations. There is now a growing conviction that proximity will become an increasing menace to humanity unless we can in some wa bring about a better cultural understanding between the citizens ot different nations.’ Dr. Rufus 11.

RUFUS H. FITZGERALD, CHANCELLOR The Owl Start of 1955 dedicates this record of the academic and social world at the University of Pittsburgh to Dr. Rufus H. Fitzgerald in grateful recognition of his leadership and wisdom. During his ten years as chancellor, Dr. Fitzgerald initiated many vital advances to the University’s reputation in national affairs. Besides his great task of improving every segment of the University’s world, Dr. Fitzgerald has maintained a direct contact with students and has made their welfare his primary interest. In providing his students with the most progressive methods of obtaining a better education, Dr. Fitzgerald has strengthened their capabilities for creating a better place for themselves in the future. His retirement fills us with a deeplv-felt regret which is hardly expressive of the University’s great loss. A phrase originating at the University of Iowa, where Chancellor Fitzgerald taught for many years before coming to Pitt in 1938, expresses our feeling: “It is difficult to realize that he is leaving. Even so, what can be said except, ‘Thanks, Rufus II. Fitzgerald, for a job well done.’ ’’ We of the Owl Staff wish Dr. Fitzgerald many happy years in his retirement—years happy in a measure equal to the success he acquired so modestly as a great chancellor for our University. IV V T CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE Your contribution to humanity, whatever it may be, will be determined in a large measure by what you are. Into “what you are” goes something of all your University experience: an inspiring teacher, a cup of coffee in the Tuck Shop, a crackling fire in the Commons Room, classrooms that teach, enduring friendships, beauty in Gothic arches, cherry blossoms on the lawn, a University prom, a Stephen Foster melody, a character which you have lived in a play, an anthem you sang in the Choir, competition in sports, Christmas carols with the scent of pine trees. Throughout your life these memories will always be a part of you, shaping your character, and getting somehow into the lives of your children and of all those with whom you associate. My hope for each of you is that through your University experience you may discover your latent power and be thoroughly prepared to use it for a better world. VII A comprehensive statement of the meaning of die Nationality Rooms has been expressed by Dr. John (1. Bowman, President Honorarius of the L’niversity of Pittsburgh: “Warmth of heart, recognition of nobility in character and of beauty in homely, useful objects, respect for order ai fine craftsmanship, reverence for the true and lovely, intense feeling, and an extraordinary zest for doing are recaptured in their original energy throughout the materials and design of these rooms. Each room, itself an articulate expression of nobility by a people, speaks to faculty and to students: 'There is joy in books, in art, in ideas, in friends, and in common things. Education is learning to live in a world illuminated with kindness, wonder, and g!adncs$|The joy in these is yours to understand, to perfect within yourself, to live by, and to pass on.’ ” These panes show nineteen classrooms, each one devoted to a particular people’s ideals. When the Cathedral of Learning was erected, the people who made possible the city of Pittsburgh and the University created the Nationality Rooms, arranging them in beauty around the Commons Room. Dedicated to the ideal of preserving national heritages, the rooms are a lastin monument to Pittsburghers of all origins. At the University of Pittsburgh we may see at close hand the work of those who developed the principles by which we live. VIII THE N7ITION71LITY ROOMS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH THE CATHEDRAL OF LEARNING % :f A spearhead of truth and knowledge, the jutting Cathedral springs heavenward with the enthusiastic impetus of a people’s search for a more fulfilling life. These striving people representing many creeds and cultures, united with one another in the desire to improve themselves and to further the advantages of their children with the learning so vitally necessary to a city as rich in resource and as typical of world progress as Pittsburgh. Their dream over the last one hundred and sixty-eight years has grown in step with the great metropolis that it serves to advance. This towering forty-two story skyscraper in Gothic design—the tallest college building in the world epitomizes in its influence and prestige the world at Pitt. Technical research laboratories, clinics, hospitals, and the myriad schools and institutions are also an integral part of the University campus in the cultural and recreational center of Pittsburgh, the health and industrial capital of the world. Symbolizing our Alma Mater in the purpose of its existence and sweep of scope, the Cathedral, consecrated to the highest aspirations of reasoning man, remains a constant bulwark of international cooperation and understanding, an instrument of increasing benefit to the misfortunes of mankind, and a universal refuge for the freedom of thought and expression from which man reaches the fountainhead of eternal wisdom. .5 THE r NGLISH ROOM 4 Our American heritage is closely allied with England. The spirit of this land is found in the large English Room. It recreates the Shakespearian Age with an atmosphere of poetic and parliamentary distinction. The room is designed to be harmonious with the House of Commons. Gifts from Commons to Pitt of original materials from the old House form the heart of the room. Their craftsmanship and obvious historical value make this room one of the most authentic of English culture on any campus in America. Two portraits are pictured. One is of William Pitt, “the Great Commoner” and First Earl of Chatham. “Friend of the colonists. His name the City and the University share.” The other portrait is of Andrew W. Mellon, Class of 1873; Secretary of the Treasury, 1921-1932; U. S. Ambassador to the Court of St. James, 1932-1933; and benefactor of the University. One outstanding feature is the window bay. Set in moulded limestone, ancient tinted window-glass encased in lead is emblazoned with six crests of Oxford, Cambridge, and the Houses of Lords and Commons, adding a dignified richness to the honey-colored woodwork. These stained-glass medallions and the old brick from No. 10 Downing Street placed by the English-speaking Union are symbols that demonstrate our unity with England and her precepts from which we have received so very much. 5 THE RENCH ROOM 6 With a keen awareness of the classical past, the French Room portrays the Empire Period of the early nineteenth century. As enthusiasm grew from the prizes that Napoleon brought home from his campaigns in Italy, Greece and Egypt, the newly found classic designs began to appear in French furniture and architecture. In perfect French taste these ancient motifs embellish the painted walls and the rich mahogany furniture of the French Room with a gilded opulence. Slender wall pilasters are crowned with ornate carvings rubbed with gold leaf. Griffins, small rosettes and acanthus leaves accentuate the translucent grey monotone with a golden brilliance. Specially designed as a French interior of the period, the paneling exactly frames the blackboards of satiny black glass. A wall cabinet in the room, containing medallions, statuettes and other objets d’art, matches the entrance in size and shape. Student armchairs with gracefully curving backs and upholstered blue leather are each a work of inspired art. fhe focal interest is the Gobelin tapestry, its style originating in the fifteenth century. Its golden beauty characterizes an art form recognized throughout the world as unparalleled. A parquet floor of highly polished oak is patterned after doors at Versailles. The crystal chandeliers and damask draperies hint of the France of Louis XIV, but the room as a , whole stands for three principles of the French— Libertey Egalite, Fraternite. 7 THE IV IORWEGIAN ROOM 8 Nordic strength heightens the friendliness and warmth that are a part of this room. It represents the folk style of the eighteenth century, one of Norway’s greatest eras of artistic craftsmanship. Unusual effects are achieved by using two ceiling levels which are reminiscent of native cottages. The large room is paneled in natural pine, waxed and aged to the color of burnished amber. The high ceiling slants upward to an insignia of the midnight sun. The room’s front shows a strong Renaissance influence on the blue panels decorated with intertwining floral patterns. A sloping stone fireplace juts into the main room. Across from it a tall Norwegian clock ticks silently. Nearby the window bay of leaded opalescent glass illuminates the room with the haze of northern light. Worked with carvings and painted in light reds and blues, the professor’s heavy oak table and stand reflect the tones of the room. The great master chair is carved in the technique of the historic Vikings, splendidly hewn with dragon-headed arms and legs and a wide sweeping back crowned with fierce eagles’ heads. The deep-seated student chairs repeat its forceful curving lines. Balancing the blackboard a tapestry enlivens the rear wall with a Biblical scene. Truly Scandinavian, the Norwegian Room contains the quiet sincerity and vital control that bolster ambition and give constructive strength to character. 9 THE RUSSIAN ROOM 10 Old Russian spirit recaptures in this room the many artistic forms of religious faith and homey philosophy close to Russian temperament. Details of carving throughout the room are designs handed down from a distant past. A solid feeling of sense and order is apparent in the geometric diamond shapes around the frame which holds the banner of 67. George and the Dragon, the fitted patterns on the students' chairs and the table apron. These basic forms date back to extremely old sources untouched by the creative evolution in Western Europe during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Sunflower patterns enrich the corner cabinet—they denote the force of life in the world and suggest the fanciful imagery inherited from medieval Persian art. The jewel-encrusted icon of Our Lady of Vladimir above the cabinet is an original masterpiece of the seventeenth century, showing great regard for religious fervor and dedicated workmanship learned from Byzantine artisans. The great oaken entrance door is arched in a half-octagon and has hinges of wrought-iron. The deep doorjambs are further ornamented with floral and geometric patterns repeated in the wainscot and the oak furniture. The rising sun at the top of the Russian-styled door is a symbol of the vastness of the motherland and also implies the hope of a richer future for every Russian. 11 THE VRIA-LEBANON ROOM 12 Brought intact from Damascus, the Syria-Lebanon Room— built originally in 1782—was once the actual library of a wealthy merchant. Smallest of the Nationality Rooms it shows a mixture of European and Oriental art forms. Persian, Phoenician and Italian Renaissance designs are effectively muted by the flowing Arabic patterns. Unusual painted gesso decoration on the walls developed from the Byzantine influence in the Near East. The relief effect is achieved by applying a special chalk-paste to wood. When dry, the raised design is carved and skillfully painted with rich oranges, pinks and greens on a background of bronze and gold leaf accented with black. The vaulted niche is called the Mihrab. Of typical Moslem construction, this family altar points toward Mecca where Mohammed was born. Embossed wall-cabinets hold books, ceramics and brass-ware from Syria. The closed linden wood doors are shutters which in Syria keep out the intense heat of the sun but let in cool night air. The marble floor beneath the coffee table meets the marble of the built-in divans with their thick satin cushions. Lighting the room, a great chandelier holds cups once filled with Lebanon oil. In its color and exotic delicacy, the room is much like the luxurious interiors of centuries ago when knowledge was for the few and Europe was just awakening to the wonders of the East. 3 THE ZECHOSLOVAK ROOM 14 Freedom and truth are the two great ideals of the Czechoslovak peoples. Dominating their cheerful room is a bronze relief of Thomas G. Masarvk, greatest personality of the Czechs and Slovaks. It is embedded in the front wall between the words v' “Pravda Vitezi,” “Truth Conquers.” Cast for its exact position the portrait suggests with the nation’s motto that here nothing unworthy can be learned or taught, that the poison of prejudice is neutralized. Flowers of botanical accuracy are painted on the larch rafters as in Slovak country churches. Other designs are creations of fantasy. Miraculous trees, delightful concepts of the love of life where bright birds and insects perch and buzz among oddly mixed leaves, fruits and flowers, are deftly painted on the window wall. The unusual ceiling has six panels portraying famous men in Czechoslovak history. Further beauty is added by the use of wood inlay. The desk is ornamented with panels symbolizing higher knowledge. A spray of linden appears on the reading stand as an emblem of homelife. Upholstered in red leather, oak furniture with heart-shaped apertures contrast strikingly with mellow white walls. Opposite the entrance a wrought-iron shrine encases a handwritten letter from President Masarvk to Pitt students, proclaiming education the workshop of the world. The whole room is-a shrine recognizing Czechoslovakia’s inspirational ideals. 5 THE TALIAN ROOM 16 Replica of a fifteenth century Tuscan convent, the Italian Room has the studied air of Renaissance beauty. The vivid ceiling attracts immediate attention with turquoise cazettas separated by mouldings of terra cotta, each set with a carved and gilded rosette. Under such a ceiling, nuns of the San Dominico Convent, Pesaro, copied holy manuscripts centuries ago. Modeled after Italian choir stalls, the tops of the walnut backs are inlaid with the names in olive wood of men who created Italy’s cultural rebirth—Petrarca, Da Vinci, Galileo and others of unsurpassed genius. Plastered walls of dove gray complement the Romanesque entrance and sandstone fireplace from an old Florentine home and provide the background for a fresco commemorating the first woman graduate of a college. Six windows in the alcove are made of old blown glass in tints of yellow, turquoise and light pink. Each window has shutters oddly reminiscent of the Old World. Sunshine gleams through these southern windows onto the velvet cushions, adding a touch of Italian warmth. Student scats simulate the benches of a monastery chapel. They are excellent examples of ecclesiastic furniture made suitable for classroom purposes by the addition of tablet arms. Each seat has the name and founding date of an Italian university carved on its back, reminding students and visitors alike that the first university in the world originated at Bologna in 1088. 7 THE ERMAN ROOM 18 Full of rich burgher gusto, the atmosphere of this room tells of German love for the good life and knowledge. The genius of the German mind is brought out by the many great names carved in a band about the room. Furnishings of the room are made up of the materials and spirit of the German Renaissance in the sixteenth century when German craftsmanship in architecture and woodcarving were beautifully distinctive. Many features of the classroom were inspired by the great hall at the University of Heidelberg, oldest German seat of higher education. Walnut paneling in walls and ceiling contrast with the oak flooring. Window-seats, student armchairs and the doors with columns decorated in stenciled arabesques arc also of walnut. Exquisite stained-glass windows picture the world-famous Grimm fairy tales with iridescent colors, while darkening the room with medieval poignancy that contrasts with the somber setting. Rear picture-panels are made of careful wood inlay. They picture the pursued Heiden-Roslein, heroine of Heine’s love poem, and the golden-haired siren Lorelei, enchantress of the Rhine. The imposing bookcase contains a collection of German books on literature and other subjects donated by the German Ministry of Education. The quotation from Goethe in the shield characterizes German strength. Translated, it reads: “Great mastery results from wise restraint, and law alone points out the way to liberty!” 9 THE UNGARIAN ROOiVI 20 A people of brilliant imagination and sincere faith, the Hungarians have made their room a practical place for creative thought. Its great simplicity, accented by an ornamental beauty, is symbolic of the traits of the legendary descendants of Nimrod, the Persian hunter. Completely paneled walls are stained to a rich tobacco brown. The woods are matched in symmetrical patterns, highlighting an effect of massiveness and warm restraint. The vivid contrasting ceiling is a frame of seventy squares painted in gay folk motifs. Done in Budapest, they capture the beauty of life treasured in the homes of Hungarian peasants. A frieze contains two stanzas of Hymn us, the national anthem. Stern words describe the Magyar: “Fate, of old, has rent him sore; may it now bring healing! Bv-gone sins are all atoned, ev’n the future sealing.” Strength of purpose is an unshakable part of his ultimate destiny. The Hungarian Room is a memorial to his distinctive genius. The door is a superb piece of woodcarving. Panels of tulips and pomegranate leaves alternating with wheat-sheaves give intense vitality to the room. Floor squares illustrate a skill at contrasting decorated with simple construction materials. The lectern is dramatically modern in its severe lines. Mementos in the tulip chest-cabinet and the carved arms of the famous University of Buda surmounting the blackboard remind all of the Magyar’s love of learning. 21 THE IiOLISH ROOM 22 Done in the style of the country’s greatest era, this room of Polish sentiment points out Poland’s contribution to world culture. Pike the Polish castle of Wawel above the valley of the Vistula, this room is the product of Polish artistry combined with Italian Renaissance influences. Also from this age of the fifteen-hundreds is the large Jagiel-lonian Globe, made to function as a globe, clock and calendar. Presented to Pitt by the Polish National Alliance, it is an enlargement of the first globe showing the American continent after its discovery. To the left of the globe and embedded in the wall is the cornerstone from a Gothic collection at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, reminding the observer that for ages education has been important to constructive thought. The large oil portrait is of the famous astronomer Copernicus, shown as a young man observing the night sky. His faith in the Solar Theory demonstrates one man’s dedication to an idea in spite of public scorn. Windows of blown glass rondels like those in ancient Wawel Castle are set with the coats of arms from Polish technical schools and universities. Light bluegreen and yellow tints bring color to the oak woodwork and the walnut furniture. The diffused light brightens the beams overhead painted with the verve of Polish spirit, a spirit that has made the story of Poland an epic of courage, thought and action. 3 THE ITHUANIAN ROOM 24 This room is testimony to the Lithuanian’s love of nature. Straw-colored walls are covered with specially woven linen. The design symbolizes the southern flight of migratory birds. The ceiling is united with the room by a frieze of white and black oak decorated with cut-out trimmings found on the jutting roofs of rural granaries. Much sentiment is attached to the professor’s chair. Its wood is black oak which native farmers sink in Baltic riverbeds where logs darken over a century and become a legacy to future generations. Constructed of diagonal planking the door is typical of Lithuanian farmhouses. A rosette at the center, symbol of fire, repeats the allusion to nature. A star between two horses’ heads wards off bad luck above the doorframe. Most prominent feature of the room is the fresco of a Lithuanian painting interpreted by the Ciurlionis Art Gallery’s director: “The trees are Lithuanian forests, which cover a dark and uncertain past. Among the branches are stars, points of hope. Against this uncertain background stand two kings. One holds something very bright, a jewel, which the other guards with his sword. In comparison with the glimmer of the stars the light which this object gives off is very beautiful. In the center of the light is a Lithuanian village—thatched cottages, white birches, willows—the most precious possessions of Lithuania.” 25 THE ROMANIAN ROOM 26 Radiating a sensitive but solid beauty, the Romanian Room shows the subtle fusion of the Byzantine with the culture of Rome. It is dominated by many details of the two Christian churches which are very close to the faithful Romanian. The entrance is through an archway of monumental proportions. The words of the poet Yasile Alecsandri are chiseled above the door: “The Romanian is like the mighty rock which amidst the waves of the stormy and majestic sea, forever remains unmoved.” This evaluation is a sympathetic tribute to a people whose greatest attribute is the power of indomitable resistance. Created in vibrant glazes, a magnificent mosaic brightens the wall with brilliantly contrasting colors. t was made by a Bucharest ceramist and depicts a Romanian prince refusing to recant Christianity even to save his family. 4 4 Dark oak furniture contrasts with smooth walls and the pink marble floor. Chair hacks are the results of meticulous carving by peasant artists using small knives to achieve the intricate effects. A Romanesque arch divides the window from the room with a folding gate designed in delicate-looking wrought-iron. The alcove suggests an icon shrine, common to Romanian homes. Handmade translucent glass softens the sunlight which bathes the room in a quiet glow. The total effect is dramatic beauty intensified by a wisdom dedicated to tire glory of God. r, 28 Characteristic of the people who created it, the Swedish Room is charming and inviting. Styles common to Sweden before America’s foundation make this room as homey as a northern cottage. The walls are constructed of handmade bricks two hundred years old and covered with twenty coats of whitewash. The whiteness adds a richness of texture and becomes a base for the painted decorations which are the room’s finest features. On the sloping ceiling are painted figures representing Justice y Judgment, and the Angel Gabriel. The architect describes the significance of the room’s rear mural: “Three of the four panels, framed in rich floral ornament of the style, depict three gay cavaliers riding out into the world. St. Catherine occupies the fourth panel. Xo ordinary horsemen, these! They are the Three Wise Men riding down to Bethlehem to see the Baby esus. A projecting fireplace dominates one wall. A Pittsburgh blacksmith modeled the wrought-iron fire tools from the pair he remembered from his Swedish childhood. Of oak stained to a dark slate, the furniture blends harmoniously with the paintings. A small cabinet inserted in the wall contains the classroom committee’s bound archives and a collection of interesting books on Sweden. Complementing the benches is a floor of red brick. All together, the Swedish Room is a place where goodfeeling and friendship naturally seem to belong. 29 THE HINESE ROOM 3° Here the serenity of Old China informs all who are struck with the room’s expression of wisdom that “Humility of Mind goes with Loftiness of Character.” Infused with the culture of Old Peiping, the tasteful blending of vivid colors with ornate designs of Chinese art make an exotic contrast to the rich finish of the teakwood chairs and the skillfully carved “Moon Table.” Directly above the seminar table a golden dragon, symbol of nature and the universe, is recessed in a ceiling of dazzling gold and blue squares, each signifying one ideal of a scholar’s life. On the large slate wall-tablet is the figure of the great teacher Confucius, whose principles epitomize Chinese philosophy and contemplative thought. Leaded windows of frosted glass exclude the Western World, strengthening the meditative spirit of this eastern civilization. The radiator is masked with a grille of teakwood set with rose-colored marble. Choice porcelains from China are placed in front of the windows. Inscriptions in Chinese characters on the stonework and overhead beams enhance the room’s oriental quality. They signify ancient virtues that the Chinese have strived to develop through work and study. Sincerity, courtesy, integrity and modesty are idealistic goals exemplifying man’s need for self-improvement. Totaled, these symbols of wisdom and prosperity wish those who enter the Chinese Room for knowledge only happiness and success. 31 3 Greece’s ancient past is reborn with classic splendor in this seminar room. The fluted purity of the two Ionic columns carved in Athens is identical with the marble of the Acropolis. They characterize the nobility of a people whose zeal for perfection and democracy formed the destiny of the Western World. Floor and wall siding are of two varieties of Greek marble. Their cool color contrasts with the warm rose terra cotta of the plastered walls. The frieze is decorated with blue and red rosettes touched with gold leaf, a red fret and a lustrous egg and dart band which join the cofl'ered ceiling of eighty recessed squares. Each is painted deep blue and emblazoned with a sunburst and bordered with a moulding of white and polychrome. The glorious color typifies the tones used by the ancients to decorate homes and temples. Here the Age of Pericles is seen as it was over two thousand years ago when Greek art, literature, philosophy and statesmanship were supreme. White oak furniture decorated with graceful gilded carvings is designed from ancient manuscripts. The chairs bear names close to Greek hearts—names of islands in the Aegean, of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Past and present meet in the columns’ portico effect, softened by the sunlight from curtained windows. In its perfect arrangement the Greek Room demonstrates Man’s pure nobility of purpose. 33 THE ( COTTISH ROOM 34 A natural dignity and reverence for learning strengthen the humor and poetry in this room of seventeenth-century Scotland. In this period of the first Scottish settlement in Pennsylvania, great emphasis was placed on religion, freedom and common sense for the disciplined individual. This solid philosophy of Scottish education gives the room a down-to-earth stability, relieved by the quiet influence of Scottish candor. All the woodwork is imported and, like the furniture, is specially carved with time-honored details. The folding doors of the blackboard and the overmantlc arc carved with the names of well-known Scotsmen: Boswell, Livingstone, Stevenson, Watt and others. From Edinburgh comes the pithy saying above the blackboard: “Gif ye did as ye sould ye might haif as ye would.” Designed from an iron coronet dropped on the battlefield of Bannockburn in 1314, the chandeliers add rustic attractiveness to the stout nobility of the impressive room. The sandstone fireplace with the oil portrait of Robert Burns is surmounted with the cross of St. Andrew. Bronze statuettes of Sir William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, famed national heroes, flank the portrait. Circling the room is a frieze utilizing the many symbols of Scottish clans. The frieze and the thistle moulding on the ceiling—emblem of Scottish unity—signify the pageant of strong Scottish wills and wit joined for mutual betterment. 35 THE UGOSLAV ROOM 36 Picturing a wealth of past heritage, the Yugoslav Room expresses the vital unity of different people having something in common. A dignified atmosphere fills the room with a sense of earthy serenity. Ceiling and walls are paneled with coffee-colored Slavonian oak. Slavonic heart designs are carved into the panels, bordered with geometric motifs. Called “notch” carving, the work was done by peasants using penknives alone. The oak ceiling is incised with folk patterns. Knobbed chandeliers are modeled on those in the Belgrade palace. A special panel on one wall displays the crest of three state universities—the double-headed eagle signifying the union of the East and West in Yugoslavia. A large case and closed cabinets contain an exquisite lace Madonna handmade by two Slovenian women and works on science and literature, as well as a fine collection of many kinds of stylized needlework. In the foreground are the cleft-backed student chairs, designed in Zagreb. Six portraits of historical figures hang above the wall paneling. Each man’s life reveals a force that strengthened the nation, making it a union of varied differences. This mixed culture makes Europe southeast of the Danube a colorful blending of various dialects, writing styles and religious influences. Alive today these mingling streams have coalesced into a nation searching its crossroads for a better future. 37 THE I ARLY AMERICAN ROOM 38 Rough-hewn, but obviously strong and serviceable, the Early American Room reproduces in authentic detail a home in New England about 1650. Pine beams, all over a hundred years old, over the fireplace and in the ceiling show that the room was a good shelter against the weather as well as hostile Indians, great problems of seventeenth century Americans. The woodwork, table and benches are also of century-old pine. The fireplace is constructed of old handmade bricks and has a baking oven deep in one wall. Cooking utensils hang from iron cranes: a trivet, waffle iron, skewers, ladles, and to one side, an old-fashioned bellows. Above the hearth the long wooden arm was used for drying clothes in colonial times. Near the bellows is a secret panel. When touched at a certain spot, the panel springs back showing a narrow staircase that winds above the fireplace to a loft upstairs used as an early protection against Indian marauders. A sampler by the door tells of the room’s presentation by George Hubbard Clapp to Pitt “in recognition of the austere dignity of Roger Clap,” who came to Massachusetts in 1630. Dr. Clapp, president of the Board of Trustees at Pitt for more than fifty years, was a direct descendant of the early settler. The heroic beginning of United States history is reflected in this humble room of homey strength. 39 THE RISH ROOM Unfurnished at time of printing, the Irish Room revives Ireland’s “Golden Age,’’ 600 to 1200 A.D. Like the small chapels of early missionaries, the room is typically Irish-Romanesque. Traditionally, the ceilings of these ancient chapels were beamed with rough-hewn oak. Walls were made of oddly carved limestone. This small seminar room recaptures these features with Gaelic whimsy. Rich ornamental carving is used in running motifs—mostly down-pointing chevrons and intricate beading. Corner pilasters, creating the door’s archway, have capitals of fanciful faces projecting from a border of unusual plants and animals. This low relief stonework is also found bordering the arches above the windows, blackboard and wall bench. Student seats of oak and rawhide will be placed around a great central table. Most significant object in the room is the cornerstone. Earth from north and south of Ireland is sealed within this relic from the ruins of the old Irish abbey Clonmacnoise. Medieval wisdom is revitalized in this room of Gaelic charm. The inspiration for the Nationality Rooms developed from the dynamic personality of Dr. John Gabbert Bowman, who as chancellor conceived the brilliant plan of showing the world what the impact of the peoples of Pittsburgh meant in creating a great university. In further adding to the startling ingenuity of the plan for the Nationality Rooms, Dr. Rufus H. Fitzgerald has recognized the great benefit the rooms’ message can bring to students by increasing their knowledge of others, that they might become more tolerant Americans. Constructive momentum for selecting and supervising the ideals embodied in the Nationality Rooms is tirelessly radiated by the dedicated work of Mrs. Ruth Crawford Mitchell, who not only created works of surpassing beauty, but established bonds uniting Pittsburgh with the nations represented. Special mention goes to Mr. Albert A. Klimcheek, University architect, who actually built the Nationality Rooms to the exact specifications of each national artist, insuring the best representation of national cultures. His wish for authentic materials and original masterpieces incorporated in the designs has made the rooms genuinely magnificent. Without support from Nationality Classroom Committees in Pittsburgh and throughout the world the rooms could never have become a reality. These people, erecting monuments to the ideals of their homelands, contributed the inestimable effort and wealth necessary for their ambitious gift to Pitt. Their purpose fills each room with treasure richer than wood or stone. Dr. John Gabbert Bowman Dr. Rufus H. Fitzgerald Mrs. Ruth Crawford Mitchell Mr. Albert A.

We may forget names of friends, but their hearty spirit blends with Pitt sentiments to become a part of us forever. This deep feeling that we call being a part of the “World At Pitt” will generate in us the power to create our own future in the unforeseen years ahead.

They exemplify what we believe Pitt has generated in us—personality, leadership, and humanity. v n SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Dr. Vincent W. Lanfear Dear. The School of Business Administration is keeping up with the times. By noting modern business procedures, the school endeavors to provide its graduates with a solid business background. It is now a requirement for the Business Administration student to take fifty percent of his subjects in liberal arts. The reason behind this requirement is sound. When a man progresses to an executive position in business he begins working with people and not merely with accounts. It is then that this broad general education is essential. Majors are now being offered in the School of Business Administration in the following nine fields: Economics, Accounting, Industry, Business Law, Statistics, Finance, Transportation, Real Estate and Insurance, and Marketing. The type of education which the school now provides equips the graduate with an adequate foundation on which he may build a good future in business. The School of Business Administration is not content to ride on past reputation, but will continue progressing and giving its students the most modern kind of business Education. JAMES A.

THE COLLEGE Dr. Stanton C. Crawford Dean Largest of the schools and divisions at Pitt, The College, founded in 1787, is one of the most modern up-to-date liberal arts schools in the United States. Under the direction of Dean Stanton C. Crawford, The College’s more than twenty-three departments provide an extensive curriculum, giving the student a general education in many fields of interest. In the exciting atmosphere of The College, emphasized by the large student body and the urban location of the Cathedral of Learning, the student has an excellent opportunity of learning what most interests him while developing his interests in other fields of lasting value. Individual selection may include major subjects in the humanities, social sciences or natural sciences. Along with the customary subjects of history, fine arts and chemistry, The College offers study in Chinese, creative writing, television and other unusual courses. The student, with the aid of expert advisers, may find for himself the knowledge for becoming a citizen more fully aware of the world about him. CYNTHIA R. ABERMAN Pittsburgh, Pa.

Dean The University’s School of Engineering was one of the earliest established in the United States, and the first west of the Allegheny Mountains. Originally, the School of Engineering and the School of Mines were operated separately, but have now combined and work on a cooperative basis. The School of Engineering and Mines consists of eight departments and offers ten degrees in engineering. The schools are fortunate in being associated with a large university which has many offerings in allied fields. A five-year two degree co-operative course is offered. Students spend three years in The College and two in cither the School of Engineering or the School of Mines, thus allowing more time in the fields of humanities and business. The new building, completed this spring, is the latest improvement in the school’s long-range expansion program. The seven-story building connects Thaw Hall and the old Mellon Institute. Its engineering library and study area have already proven both helpful and convenient to students. ROBERT J. AIKHAKT Pittsburgh, Pa. MELVIN O. ALLISON Pittsburgh, Pa. LAWRENCE R. ANDROS Latrobc, Pa.

SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY In 1896 the Pittsburgh Dental College of the University of Pittsburgh, with a limited amount of material and equipment, made its first attempt to instruct and guide a handful of willing students into the profession of dental surgery. At that time few people saw far enough ahead to visualize the school as it now stands—one of the best equipped, most modern dental schools in the country, each year turning out the finest and ablest doctors in the field ofdentistry. Every year the Dental School accepts ninety-six capable students and instructs them in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of oral diseases. The first two years at the school are chiefly a period of training and book learning, tne last two are spent in the clinic, ac- whcreas !y 1 A hi is the tually practicing dentistry. hlight each year at the Dental School tudent Award Day. On this day, outstanding and well-deserving students arc-awarded and commended on their fine scholarship and leadership for the past year. The entire program stands as an incentive for all students to work their best at the most difficult tasks. In March the student branch of the American Dental Association holds a meeting. On that day the students attend a clinic instead of going to classes. A featured event on the calendar of the future dentists is the Winter Formal held at the William Penn Hotel. Dr. William F.

The first two years consist chiefly of classes and pre-requisite courses. During the remaining three, the future nurse is trained in a hospital actually caring for patients. While going through training, nursing students arc housed in modern efficiently maintained quarters, receiving the finest food, care and guidance. At the end of training, the graduate nurse can either enter a professional career or specialize further in a chosen field. After completing the first six months of training, the student receives her nurse’s cap at the capping ceremony.” Then she continues her difficult studies for the next two and one-half years. Their endeavors, however, lead to a very satisfying end—a promise of a rich full life helping and caring for the sick. At last, the day every student nurse has worked for arrives,—the day of the pinning ceremonies” when students are graduated. BARBARA A. BEAL Oil City, I a. MOLLY BICKEL Pittsburgh, Pa.

You should see the pictures in this book.' Talk about the modern conveniences! We sure do have them.1 ft I IO SCHOOL OF PHARMACY Rcif Only five years ago the School of Pharmacy became an integrated part of the University. Until 1948, when the merger with Pitt was completed, the school functioned independently. The School of Pharmacy still has many activities going on within itself. The Interfraternity council holds meetings to promote social, religious and intellectual activities for the students. This council is made up of representatives from the various pharmaceutical fraternities. The Pharmacy Alumni Association is also active, sponsoring meetings, lectures and social functions. In addition to classes, the future pharmacist hears many guest speakers during the year, each an expert in a specialized field. Annually the senior class is given opportunities to visit laboratories of large drug manufacturers. These trips give the student the advantage of keeping up with modern procedures. With its extensive training program, Pitt’s School of Pharmacy is now accredited as a Class A school by the American Council of Pharmaceutical Education. CHRISTOPHER G. ARGYROS Oakmont, Pa. ALEX C.

Smith feting Dean The School of Retail Training offers to graduate students a year’s study, concentrating on retailing problems in various types of stores. For thirty-seven years the school has prepared students for such retailing careers as advertising management, buying, controlling and personnel work. From its founding in 1918, the Retail Training Bureau has been a cooperative venture between large Pittsburgh retail stores and the University to develop future store executives. By becoming an extension of the classroom, the retail stores cooperate with the School of Retailing. Store executives give students the benefit of their experiences by becoming part of the teaching staff and sharing with them the solutions of problems facing the retailer. Students work under a program combining classroom instruction with actual working conditions; classroom theories arc tested in working situations in which the students are paid for their work in the stores. A Master of Retailing Degree is conferred upon all those who, by their individual performance and grades earned, have met the requirements of the school. Firtf Row: L. Levin, H. Wilbur, H. Rankin, J.

Somewhat outnumbered by the graduate and professional students, the undergraduates make their presence felt at the University, for they are the core of school activities. Apart from pursuing their scholastic endeavors, the undergraduates put out the student publications. School government is under their direction. They enjoy social affairs, especially school dances. Students work on Educational Television W’QED. Spring Carnival, sponsored by Student Congress, is planned by the undergraduates. The festival has become an outstanding event of the school year and is enjoyed, not only by the students, but by many Pittsburghers who attend. Pitt’s undergraduates go all out for sports. Besides the many pep rallies held during the year, the students make up a large part of the spectators at the games, and from their section come the loudest cheers and, sometimes, the saddest groans.

An Alumni Association dinner held at Hotel Webster Hall Five minutes ’til lunch. The American Institute of Chemical Kngineers, composed of chemical engineering students, attempts to orientate the students to future professional practice and the high standards expected of them. Every Thursday, fourth hour, the chemical engineers seminar met in the Cathedral of Learning for detailed talks on the fine points of chemical advancements. During these meetings, discussions were held on the different aspects and developments of chemical engineering techniques consisting of topics such as, “Future Opportunities in the Field of Chemical Engineering” and the “Type of Security the Profession Offers.” The A.I.Ch.E. held a picnic in the spring and also worked on a special display for “Engineers' Week.” Each year the Institute gives special recognition to the outstanding sophomore in chemical engineering by presenting him with a merit pin and a subscription to Chemical Engineering Progress.” Pres.

In 1882, seven men from the University incorporated the first Greek letter dental society, Delta Sigma Delta. Today the fraternity is the only international Dental fraternity in existence. The membership is restricted to students and practitioners of the profession of dentistry. Since the social events for the fall semester were primarily for rushing prospective members, the fraternity usually had two rushing affairs a month. The final rush affair was held in the Spring semester. The fraternity also had two formats during the year. This year the members of the fraternity were hosts to six neighboring dental schools which met here for the Mid-Eastern Conclave. Delta Sigma Delta has great regard for their objective to keep the standards of Dentistry high by instilling in the minds of dental students and practitioners a spirit of fraternal cooperation towards scientific, ethical and professional progress. Too bad they don't have a music appreciation class in Dentistry. 59 Someone would think this was a journalism fraternity. •� � • � � ' ynisv rtv.l EVENING STUDENTS ASSOCIATION Pres. V. Pres.

From its office in Room 2701, Cathedral of Learning, came the plans for helping students get to know each other through two get acquainted dances held in the Panther Room, as well as special religious services in Heinz Chapel before Thanksgiving and Christmas vacations. The Association sponsored extra-curricular activities to add to the social and spiritual welfare of the evening students by having an open house in the Commons Room. Then too, a festive square dance, held last November at the Rose Grove in North Park, created many new friendships. The April candlelight dinner in the Faculty Club was the annual banquet when the officers turned their authority over to the new officials and presented awards and scholarships to deserving students. Spring dance was the perfect close to a worthwhile year of fellowship and fun. A pre-class session helped the students understand the preceding week's assignment.

Not only is the club designed to further the knowledge of those interested in social work as a career; but it also gives a broad outlook of the profession to those students who arc undecided as to whether they want social work as their future vocation, or not. The meetings, planned by Dr. M. B. Conover, consisted mostly of speakers from the faculty and from the student body of the School of Social Work. Whenever possible, a speaker from outside of the University spoke to the students about the practical experiences of this profession. Also, the members visited various agencies surrounding the University. Here the students saw, first-hand, the actual work of the social worker. This spring, the School of Social Work invited about 20 surrounding schools to participate in a conference here.

That statement, though true, cannot possibly sum up the year’s accomplishments for this fine organization. For through its three main aims; to recognize the outstanding men, to bring them together, and to bring the faculty in closer contact with the students through mutual interest, the fraternity has accomplished much more. But who can tabulate and itemize the help and influence of the older members, who are among the most successful in their fields, on the minds, ambitions and energies of these young men? No one could, but when one brings together young men who have been chosen for their accomplishments in college life with men who have been tempered and sharpened by experience, the result will surely be good if not great. The honorary held semi-monthly luncheon meetings in order to discuss the business of the fraternity. On December 7th, ODK held an initiation banquet. The banquet was held in honor of Chancellor Rufus H. Fitzgerald who was the final speaker of the evening. 7 him Row: A. Baumhammcr , I). Kaufmann, J. Olcnder, T. Grgurich, II. Jacobs, I).

When you walk into the YWCA office on the twelfth floor, you soon become aware of the spirit of friendliness and the atmosphere of good will which the Young Women’s Christian Association helps to create. The YWCA welcomes all women. The only requirement for membership is a desire to unite with others of various faiths, backgrounds and nationalities in realizing a full and creative life through a growing knowledge of God. The Y’s program is rich and varied. It includes the annual Caritas ceremony for freshman women, the United Nations Institute, Religion-in-Life participation, a Christmas dinner, square dancing and friendly fireside discussions throughout the year. Unique to the program this year was the Centennial Celebration of the YWCA in the United States. The YWCA has rich and varied activities open to anyone interested in participating. YWCA girls look over the agenda. New ideas are evolved through such friendly discussions. STUDENT GOVERNMENT ENGINEERING Some busy engineers grab a bite to cat even during a class. An occasional free hour is spent relaxing in the F. M lx ungc. One of- the most active organizations, open to all students in the School of Engineering Mines, is the Engineering Mines Association. This brotherhood strives to create a close fellowship among the Engineering and Mines students, to provide opportunities for contact with professional and non-professional men in the field and to add to the social life of the school. The well-rounded social program of this group included two dances this year which were open to all “slide-rule manipulators. Two smokers and a picnic were other affairs held during the year. Lounge accommodations for the engineering students were provided bv this group. 11 ere the busy engineers could study, discuss their work or just relax. Thanks to the E M Association, the lounge was equipped with candy and coke machines. Firjt Row: R. Murphy, R. Schafer, W. Netoskie, G. Hove, R. Bitsko. Sttond Row: P. Schaub, P. Thomas, G. Saxon, N.

Establishing unity of spirit and action among the fraternities on campus is the main purpose of Interfraternity Council. Along with Panhellenic Council, IF Council sponsored their annual Greek Week, during which discussion groups, dances, dinners and teas were held jointly between fraternities and sororities. Another goal of Greek Week was to give the independent students a chance to become acquainted with the workings and people connected with the Greek organizations. Other projects of Interfraternity Council were: sponsoring a scholarship for a male student to study and travel abroad; conducting an intense program of in ter fraternity activities in such fields as athletics, debating and singing; issuing a handbook concerning fraternities, and collecting canned foods for underprivileged persons. 1.

Some charming personalities of 1. C. leave the Dean of Men’s office. Early in September, the officers of Men’s Council retreated to Ligonicr to plan their program for the year. By noting the work accomplished this year, one can see that the trip was a great success. New this year was the administration of a Men’s Conference program. This one-semester non-credit course for Freshmen men was taught by members of the faculty and upperclassmen. It was designed to help the men overcome typical first-year stumbling blocks. Sponsoring mixer dances with WSGA and showing movies of Pitt Football games for those who were unable to attend were a few of the other projects that kept MC busy. The council also took over sales of the Pitt blazer and bought a new record player which it rented to other groups. It also leased a public address system and a movie projector. A special Men’s Council committee investigated the potentialities of a political party system for men’s elections at Pitt which would be supervised by MC in conjunction with Alpha Phi Omega. In addition to everything else, Men’s Council worked on various other projects and sent representatives to many student and student-faculty organizations. Men's Council discusses one of the big issues. Jack Hardman talks with freshmen as upperclassmen look on. Bob Dickinson passes out freshmen orientation tests. 205 PANHELLENIC COUNCIL Pres.

This year the members of Panheilenic Council continued to foster good relations among sorority women at Pitt, and they also saw that all sororities took an active part in the extra-curricular program of the University. The Council, which consists of three representatives from each sorority, immediately began work in the Fall to prepare for the Panheilenic reception for freshmen women which was held in Stephen Foster Memorial. In November, Panhcllcnic council joined with Inter-fraternity Council to take part in Greek Week activities. There was a canned goods drive, the Greek Sing, exchange dinners at the fraternity houses and a Greek Dance at which a scholarship cup was presented to the sorority with the highest quality point average. At the close of rushing season, when all groups had received their new pledges, a tea was held for all members of Junior Panheilenic council and their pledge mothers. In March the traditional Panheilenic Ball was held in the Georgian Room of the Hotel Webster Hall in honor of all new pledges and senior members of Pan-hellenic council. This year Panheilenic council again contributed to the support of the Dutch war orphan whom they adopted through the Foster Parents Plan for War Orphans. Each year the sororities through Panhcllcnic send 180 dollars to the Foster Parents Plan for the care of their orphan. During the year they write her letters, and they send gifts at Christmas and on her birthday. Voices sing out in the Commons Room during Greek Week. 207 ‘There I am! First Rote: H. Marino, M.

President Emil Herman looks on as Secretary Pat Woods reads the minutes. Two major aims of Student Congress this year were stimulating school spirit and strengthening political parties at Pitt. Student Congress got the year started with several large football rallies for home games at Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Memorial Hall, peppy team send-offs and victory celebrations after Pitt beat Navy and West Virginia. An intensive Pitt Chest drive brought in funds. As a gentle hint, candy money was placed in every contribution envelope. True to form, Pittites ate up the chocolate coins but dug down deep to replace them with real currency. A special committee attempted to strengthen the class dances. Class officers planned the Christmas Ball, directed by seniors, and other Commons Room dances headed by lower classmen. The letters B. E. P. O. P. popped up on bulletin boards all over campus. Little-known facts about the University and faculty were posted each week to justify the catchy slogan—Be Proud oj Pitt. Congress printed a student government handbook to revitalize public interest in Pitt student government. Representatives made speeches before campus and high school groups. This spring Student Government Day gave a meaningful emphasis to the student elections, impressing candidates and class officers alike with their duties of serving faithfully the wishes of the student body and administration. A special committee of Student Congress meets for an important discussion. Miss Irvine gets comfortable for a few happy stories after a long meeting.

Which hat looks better on Gilda?” Combining lectures, informal sessions and social events, the Junior Class can look with pride on this year. In November, the class sponsored a snack on the Twelfth Floor to honor the transfer students, to welcome them into the class and introduce them to the varied activities program. The first class social was the “Mad Hatter’s Mart” where the girls demonstrated their talents in hat designing. Refreshments were served, and awards were given for the most stylish creations. The second semester opened with a meeting at which I)r. Martin spoke on “The Preparation for Marriage.” Then the class helped with the annual Heart Hop dance and finished the year with a dinner on the Twelfth Floor. 21 I First Rov: R. Meager, H.

The Sophomore Class rang in the '5+-SS school year with a crammed schedule of meetings, socials and future plans. The halloween and Christmas socials highlighted the fall semester, and, with the New Year rolling in, the girls started their plans for the Heart Hop. The work of the class was divided among four committees: publicity, activities, historical and music. One of the class’s most important undertakings was a meeting with the officers of the Men’s Sophomore Class to promote better co-ordination between men and women in class activities. Men and women working together on projects for the University, as well as for the class itself, was the goal of these students. 212 WOMEN’S FRESHMEN COUNCIL “Pic crust mix is good but «« shouldn’t have to rely on it-’ When girls first come to the University of Pittsburgh, things arc very new and strange. Dean’s conferences help them to become acquainted with each other and with members of the Dean of Women’s Staff. Each dean’s conference group elects one representative to Freshmen Council. The purposes of Freshmen Council are: to write a constitution for the freshmen class, to serve as a governing organization until the end of the freshmen year when the girls nominate their sophomore class officers and to plan social affairs for freshmen women. I-ois Grosz guided Freshmen Council and officiated at its weekly meetings. At these meetings, the girls elected chairmen for committees and worked on various projects during the year.

The purpose of the Woman’s Self Government Association is to help every woman become self-governing through intelligent choices, and to make possible for every woman the kinds of group experiences which help her to test her ideas and build friendships. All undergraduate women students registered in the University who arc carrying a minimum of twelve credits, are automatically members. The women started off this year with meetings amid the piles of sand and scaffolding on the floor; at last one of “the big rooms” was being finished. The years' inspiration lay in watching the progress from brick walls to lovely panelling. The change in the appearance of Room 1228 was reflected in a renovated WSGA program. As a practical approach to the problem of counseling, the Vocational Information Committee planned with representatives of many University departments to spend a day on the floor talking individually about their academic programs. Also, the freshmen guild system was revamped. In previous years, the freshmen women, upon entering the guild phase of their orientation, formed small groups patterned after various organized campus activities. This year, the freshmen were actually integrated into the campus organizations under the guidance of various student advisors. “Save some for us, Dolly!” Some members of Commission talk over a piece of pending legislation. The Lantern Night ceremony is one of Pitt's loveliest traditions. 215 MEN’S COLLEGE SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS First Rote: P. Walsh, J. Trattner, J. Lange, L. Haley.

In September, the week before classes began, members of the Heinz Chapel Choir spent a week at Camp Lutherlyn. During this week they ate, danced, swam, went hiking and played volleyball; but, most important, they sang five hours every day, and they had fun doing it. Every Wednesday at one o’clock, the Heinz Chapel Choir put on their royal-purple vestments, and when they marched down the aisle, everyone knew that this singing group was a finished product. “Pop” Finney, their able director, was instrumental in bringing about this appearance. The choir had to work hard to attain their perfect harmony and certain melody, rehearsing four days a week from 4:30 to 5:30 p. m. The choir loved to sing; at 5:30, as the elevators carried the students to the Ground Floor, they still sang,—their voices echoing through the building. The choir’s program included much more than just singing at University functions. The choir gave concerts at various churches in the area, and they toured for a week in the Spring. This year they gave concerts in New England and eastern Pennsylvania. The year ended with the choir's annual spring picnic at Pop’s” farm and, again, the members of the choir could say, “We have made music.” 219 Fini Row: D. Levitt, P. Balles, J. Trattner, T.

Joseph Trattner V. Pres. Thomas Rutter Sec. Stanley Greenfield Trcas. Robert Sedler Adv. Robert Newman The members of Men’s Debate Association had a strenuous year with its sponsoring of television shows, tournaments, local debates and journeys to various intercollegiate competitions in eastern United States. Dartmouth, Notre Dame and Cornell came to Pittsburgh to participate in cross-examination debates before local audiences. About 25,000 witnessed some part of this scries excluding the radio and television audience. The association expanded into TV this year with two scries of weekly half-hour shows on WQED entitled CAMPUS. They consisted mainly of informal discussions featuring campus leaders and guests from other colleges. High point of the year was the Seventh Annual Cross-examination Tournament held in December. Teams from twenty-four colleges participated in five rounds of rated debate with the Crucible Steel Trophy awarded to Ohio Wesleyan as the champion visiting team. The Pitt debaters tied with the Ohio school for top honors. Climaxing the tournament was a public debate in Stephen Foster Memorial where Oxford defeated Yale. Pitt teams took third place at the Purdue varsity conference, second at the Wake Forest novice tournament and at the Temple novice competition Pitt’s team remained undefeated to tic Dartmouth for first place. The debaters travelled to more than fifteen other collegiate tournaments in the eastern states. MEN’S GLEE CLUB Dir. Pres. V. Pres. Sec. David G. Weiss Jarvis Cotton Ted Jamison Louis DeXuzzio The Men’s Glee Club was started in 1890 when twelve students formed the “Mandolin and Banjo Club” under the leadership of John Nigh. After 60 years of successful growth, the club boosted its membership to 50 voices while retaining its original fellowship and spirit. The only change in the club was the addition of the Pitt blazer which is now worn for informal appearances. All of the men, while preparing for professional careers, pursued singing only as an enjoyable pastime. They rehearsed every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the seventh hour in preparation for a season of school programs, two extensive tours, numerous concerts in nearby communities and their annual Spring Concert in Carnegie Music Hall. The men closed the season with a banquet at which awards were presented and officers were elected for the next year. Perfection of a song comes only after hours of practice. Practice makes perfect.

From Elwood Dowd and his big invisible Harvey, from the homey southern family in the Great Big Door Step, the students working in Stephen Foster Memorial have done much to show the whimsy and humor of the American theater. With the second semester came a change of pace. Actors donned their old flowing Victorian robes and wove eery and fascinating chills and shivers with their version of The Innocents, adapted from the short story by Henry James. The haunting theme of the last showing, Dark of the Moon, was colorfully performed and made an interesting conclusion to a well-planned year. Along with technicians, business and production staffs and the student and faculty administrators, the members of Theatron, honorary dramatic fraternity, were honored for outstanding work and cooperation at the fraternity’s annual banquet at the end of Pitt’s dramatic season.

Arthur Director of University Bands and Orchestra PITTSBURGH BANDS The Annual Stadium Review was held at Carnegie Music Hall. For sheer color and sparkle, nothing matched the thrill of watching the University of Pittsburgh’s Varsity Marching Hand tramping onto the field—at 180 steps per minute—playing “Hail to Pitt!” Later, there was a sudden upsurge of spirit in the Pitt section of the stadium as the band began the strains of the “Alma Mater,” then stepping quickly into Pitt’s traditional emblem, the Panther Head. Everyone who had heard of the Varsity Marching Band was aware of the exceptional precision that made the band famous as an excellent musical organization. Pitt is immensely proud of this national recognition. Hand members are not professional musicians but men studying in every school of the University. At all the home games and at several of the away games, the band was there, pepping up the players and spectators alike with the stirring music of Sousa’s immortal marches as well as Pitt’s great battle songs and Mr. Arthur shows the way to the stage before the band concert. 228 The Northwestern band watches the Varsity Marching Band perform at half-time. The band forms an eagle in a salute to Navy. the bouncy tempos of The Johnson Rag” and “Mr. Touchdown, U. S. A.” Along with playing at all the games on chilly autumn Saturdays, band members practiced weekdays after classes for performances at local high schools. The band ended the season with a Stadium Review at Carnegie Music Hall. There songs and numbers played at the games were highlighted. There was also a special medley of opponent colleges’ music and a salute to Pitt. It was a fitting finale for the graduating bandsmen. This year at the Review, C. Lee Banjamin was named the outstanding bandsman of the year. He was elected in a secret ballot by the entire band. He represented on campus the deserving men who, planning someday to become doctors, engineers, lawyers and businessmen, make the Pitt Varsity Marching Band one of the most outstanding marching bands in the United States. 229 The clarinets add to the unity of the band. The girls have final rehearsal for Beaux Arts. Hats off to the young ladies who comprise the Women’s Choral Association. Under the direction of Philip Kniseley, these gals have really done a great job. Besides singing three Madrigals for Beaux Arts, they sang during Greek Week and Christmas Week and gave a recital with Mr. Lotz, singing portions of A Ceremony of Carols.” Women’s Choral welcomed its new members with a fall social and had informal get-togethers and special holiday parties both at school and at the home of their director. Besides being musically inclined, the girls entered the “Beat West Virginia” cheer and the “Beat Penn State” poster contest. They also played in the basketball tournament sponsored by the Women’s Recreation Association. In the Spring the enthusiastic girls departed on an eastern tour of singing, sight-seeing and gay times.

Caldwell, Jr. Editor With an All-American yearbook as their goal, the 1955 Owl staff worked hard to produce a book that might deserve that honor. The general planning of the work was done during the summer by Editor Jack Caldwell and Associate Editor Paul Gilliland. The staff as a whole got together for their first meeting at a picnic at South Park between registration and the first day of school. T-bone steaks were on the menu, and although they got a little crisp, they made delicious eating. The picnic didn't last long, however, because the staff faced their first deadline only five days after school started. The first finished work consisted of the book’s first 48 pages including the color section. Jack and Tom Vrana, the photo editor, took these pictures of the Nationality Rooms in full color just before school started. Don Miller did an excellent job of writing the room descriptions. With successful completion of the opening section, the staff surged ahead with added incentive and worked long hours to meet the succeeding deadline commitments with the printer. Another boost to the morale of the staff was the.redecorating of the office during the summer. The old desks were replaced with new grey metal ones complete with swivel chairs. The windows became some of the best-dressed in the Cathedral with bamboo blinds and tailored draperies. Interesting Toulouse-Lautrec paintings bright- Dcadlinc nights on the Otcl meant a lot of work, laughs and fun. Bujinets Manager cncd the walls and the warm red tile floor added the finishing touches to the “new” office. The Owl for 1955 was centered around the theme, “The World At Pitt.” The staff worked out this theme by using the unique influence of the Nationality Rooms, world maps on division pages, pictures of Pitt’s U.N. and other international events—plus the cathedral-globe motif which is displayed throughout the book’s design. The Calendar and Owlette sections were combined this year. The owlette portraits of beautiful Pitt women were turned this year into monthly Calendar girls whose pictures served as sub-division pages for the Calendar section. The job of collecting subscriptions and paying for the high cost of color work was the job of A1 Skirboll, business manager, and his active business staff. Al boosted the Owl sales by 25 percent with advertising and sales campaigns on campus. The big book met its costs. Besides the yearbook proper and the summer supplement, the Owl contracted to have printed 3500 separate booklets of the Nationality Rooms section with descriptions and photos in full color. These beautiful booklets were distributed by the Public Relations offices of the University to educational institutions throughout America. Fine Row: M. Ringler, L. Ducrr, B. Skcnder, B. Felscr, B.

THE PITT NEWS The world at Pitt would be incomplete without a voice for student opinion and a means by which the news within the University could be made known. These aims were accomplished twice each week when the Pitt News hit the stands. The pressure was on from the first issue as only three senior staff members returned to school and faced a string of twelve All-American ratings from the Associated Collegiate Press. But what the staff lacked in experience was balanced by an enthusiasm which kept the lights in the news room burning until early morning to meet deadlines. Fast and accurate reporting resulted in a number of scoops for the News, stories which broke simultaneously or ahead of the downtown papers. The first of these breaks occurred when Joan Thomas, associate editor, got a lead on the new Engineering and Mines building. This was followed by a complete story on dormatories and a student union along with a breakdown of other building projects throughout the campus. Cecy finally found a peg to hang her story on. Photo Editor, Ed Glenn cleans the Graphic lens. Mazer adds a little humor to the midnight copy desk. Sports Editor Dave Mazer came up with the story of Red Dawson’s illness just hours before the presses were to roll, and Bill Rimmel, editor of the Skyscraper Engineer, stepped in a week later as a pinch hitter and wrote a story on the coach’s retirement. Meanwhile a new addition to the staff appeared in the form of Janice, a cat who claimed relation to Mehitabcl and the friendship of Archy, a cockroach who wrote for a New York daily many years ago. Janice wrote long letters to the editor and caused considerable comment in such places as the English department and office of the Dean of Women. Managing Editor Judy Gottercr and News Editor Irv Rothman did a scries of articles on the Core-Curriculum which the News finally broke late in February. The long standing guild system came up for revision shortly after a column by Joan Thomas which pointed up the inadequacies of the system as it had been. The News gave a good account of itself as it was attacked by several of the Pittsburgh dailies. The first blow came as a result of the debate topic for the year which dealt with Red China. The second came as a result of a rumor regarding the formation of a girls’ twirling corps. The downtown papers literally tried to start a civil war at Pitt but the editorial page of the News bristled with counter punches.

William E. Rimmel Editor With four full years of publication behind it, The Skyscraper Engineer, a semi-technical publication, has become one of the leading engineering magazines in the country. This year the engineers have for the first time used four color work on their cover and on one issue they even used a five color process. They also started a section of informal pictures taken around the engineering buildings. This was done so that the engineers would feel that they were all a part of the magazine. In the 1955-56 season of publication, The Skyscraper will move their headquarters to the new engineering building. This move will aid the staff in coordinating their activities more with those of the majority of engineers. During the past Engineer’s Week in March, the Skyscraper Engineer was one of the most active organizations that participated in the event. They put out a special edition and they also sold green derbys and gave away Engineer’s Week buttons. The staff also had its members working on almost every other committee that worked on the week’s festivities. The staff, this year, was made up of Editor in Chief Bill Rimmel, Associate Editors Paul Thomas and James McKalip, Layout Editor Thomas Bundorf, Story Editor Chuck Hadfield, Features Editor Mitch Kozikowski, Art Editors Cecil Townsend and Paul McKelvy and Photo Editor Bob Fleischman. Nick Sirianni was the capable business manager this year and he was ably assisted by Don Rooney, advertising manager and assistant business manager. Tom Tarolli and Hank Zentgraf were the circulation managers. Although it is impossible to list all the people that were of great help during the year we think that they deserve a vote of thanks.

THE PITT CAPSULE The Pitt Capsule is a publication sponsored by the student branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association. All editorial and administrative work is conducted by the students of the Pharmacy School with the aid of a faculty advisory committee. The Pitt Capsule is now in its tenth year of publication. It goes to press five times during the academic year and enjoys a circulation not only to the Pharmacy School students and faculty but to many of the alumni as well. It is also mailed to each of the other pharmacy schools in the country. The aims of the Pitt Capsule are several-fold. As a publication of the student A.Ph.A. branch, it publicizes all branch activities with particular emphasis on recruiting new branch members. As a publication representing the University of Pittsburgh, it gives adequate space to all matters concerning the college and pharmacy. It also carries news of the Alumni, so as to further relationships between the school and its graduates. As a publication for the students of the School of Pharmacy, it carries articles of interest to the students; and by use of editorials, comments on certain conditions that may arise in the field from time to time. Finally, the Pitt Capsule also prints excerpts from current publications so as to keep the student body abreast of the advancement of Pharmacy. You know, this is a good looking layout.' PUBLICATIONS ADVISOR, DR. DONALD E. SWARTS The publications here at Pitt have long enjoyed a freedom of writing which is beneficial to students as well as being the best possible training for future journalistic careers. A backlog of experience in this field has shown that a guiding hand is a very welcome thing to have when problems get too big or complex for harrassed students. Such a guide is found at Pitt in the person of Dr. Donald E. Swarts, director of student publications. The long list of accomplishments with which Dr. Swarts must be credited would appear to be a limiting factor in the time he devotes to publications, but such is not the case. His sure grasp of student problems and his diplomacy and sincerity have done much more than to impress us with his ability to advise. He has given more time and thought to the entire student body than was ours to expect. Dr. Swarts is a man to whom not only publications, but all the students owe much. We give our sincere and heartfelt thanks to him for the many jobs that he has helped us with so completely and tirelessly. 243 ALPHA DELTA PI ALPHA IOTA CHAPTER Pres. Josephine Mcllvain V. Pres. Donna Meyers Sec. Carol Austin Trcas. Ellie Locher Adv. Mrs. Jane Montgomery Alpha Delta Pi is the oldest social sorority on Pitt’s campus. These girls work together to promote a harmonious group and to develop many happy lasting friendships. Their motto, We Live For Each Other,” sums up this statement. Alpha Delta Pi had many unusual social affairs during the year. Among them were a bake sale, a black and white Christmas formal, a Spring formal, a Founders “Happy hour” at the icc-box follows some hours of study. Day Dinner, the annual open-house after the Pitt-Navy football game, a tea given for the students living in the sorority house, and a “Cinerama Party.” The girls hardly had time to recover from these affairs, before their alumnae gave a “brunch” in the actives’ honor. The Alpha Delta Pi's also believe in fostering joy for others. 'I'his year they made and repaired toys for children who had none. The girls combined with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity to give a Christmas party for orphans. Each member of the sorority donated money for a national equipment pool which would provide, in cooperation with the National Society for Crippled Children and Adults, equipment for treatment centers, clinics and schools for handicapped children. Alpha Delta Pi also placed second in last year’s Spring Carnival float parade. They won third place in Pan-hellenic Sing. The ADPi’s try some close harmony around the piano.

ALPHA EPSILON PHI NT CHAPTER Pres. Cynthia Aberman Sec. Selma Cooper V. Pres. Eouise I.ichter Treas. Phyllis Coleman Adv. Mrs. Blanche Greenberger The Alpha Epsilon Phi’s certainly have done an excellent job of living up to their primary ideal of fostering everlasting friendship among their members. Their fall season began with a regional conclave; Alpha Epsilon Phi’s from Penn State, Carnegie Tech and Maryland were present. The conclave consisted of a picnic, two luncheons, business meetings and a dinner-dance which was attended by alumnae. Nu Chapter President Cynthia Aberman met the AEPhi war orphan, Jonas Huisman, while in Holland. The sorority helps support Jonas and carries on active correspondence with him. The chapter also held a Christmas party for orphans. Promoting friendliness among their members also extended to the Carnegie Tech campus. Pitt Alpha Ep- silon Phi’s celebrated the annual Pounder’s Day with their Tech sisters at a luncheon. The AEPhi’s honored their mothers with a Mothers’ Day Puncheon. Fathers and alumns were invited to other various social events during the year. Thanksgiving time was barn dance time for these girls, and with the spring came their formal dinner-dance. Last year, Nu Chapter, which was founded in 1920, received the third prize Pan-Hellenic scholarship award. AEPhi Fonda Goldman was also president of Cwens, and Marlene Cohen was Phi Ep’s sweetheart. With all of these activities, one would think these inhabitants of the Bellefield Dwellings would be busy enough, but they found time to aid their national sorority project, which is to aid I’NF.SCO.

They could l oast of three senior mentors, Margie Toth, Vivian Thayer and Bobbi Douglas. On the musical side, Barb Pancoast, Barbara Rupp, Vivian Thayer and Janet Grenfell all sang in the Heinz Chapel Choir. In women’s activities Barbara Rupp served as Housing Board Chairman, Barb Pancoast was Transfer Committee Chairman and Bobbi Douglas was vice-president of her class. Betty Ann Young was a member of Student Congress and Bea Pellegrino was Social Chairman of the same organization. Social life was also important to Chi Omegas. Tea dances were fun, but high spots of the year were the two formals—one at Christmas and the other in the spring. Homecoming featured prize-winning house decorations and a tea for the alums after the game. 1 hrcc of the Chi O's are ready for a meeting. I he comic strips hold a certain fascination for these members. Chi O’s, though, thought of other people besides themselves. Celebrating Christmas with the annual orphan’s party was just one of the things they did for others. A Chi Omega award for an outstanding student in political science is given each year. Any student is eligible for this award. As a reward for hard work in the 1954 Spring Festival, the Chi Omega show, “Tongo,” won third place and the front was awarded the first place trophy. ‘Who did you say was wanted on the phone?

Emily English Since it was first founded on the University campus on April 16, 1916, Delta Delta Delta Sorority has tried to establish a perpetual bond of friendship among its members. The organization attains this purpose by developing a stronger and more womanly character and by broadening the moral and intellectual life of its members. The spirit of co-operation and willingness to work in Tri-Delt can well be seen by the cups that grace their mantel. They have won the first place cup for the best Spring Carnival Show three years in a row. At the 1954 Pan Hcl Sing, they walked away with another first place trophy. Each year the Tri-Delts better attain their own high ideals by contributing their time and services to certain charitable organizations. East year they held the annual Christmas orphans’ party and the Si 50 scholarship was offered to any woman on the university campus deserving of such an award. The sorority also boasts of members that have proven themselves outstanding leaders on the campus. Pat Baird was an awardee of a trip to Europe last year and was also president of the Senior class. I.aVerne Dunten was corresponding secretary of WSGA and Audrey Eongridge was a member of Senior Court. The sorority was also very proud of Pauline Markess, Ginny Anthony, and Dorothy 'Pear who made up part of the first co-ed cheerleading group at Pitt. First Row: J. Jones, J. Graham, M.

Founded here at the University in 1916, it has in the last few years made itself a worthy competitor to the more established groups. Primary among its aims and purposes are scholarship, brotherhood and service to their University and country. As chapter projects, the boys gave an orphans party and supported several charitable drives. Their social program last year included three impressive affairs: the Sailors’ Ball, the Carnation ball, and the fall Green Wave Weekend. Weekly parties-also figured largely in the social plan. The list of honors that Delta Sigma Phi accumulated last year makes it easy to understand the group’s newly acquired importance as a Greek letter fraternity. In the Spring, they took first place in the IF sing, third place in the fall homecoming display and third place in the bowling league. “Tongo,” last year’s Carnival show, which through their combined efforts with the Chi Omega Sorority, won third place and the show front took a first place trophy. The men of Delta Sigma Phi have made their mark at the University of Pittsburgh. Don Kettering was elected Interfraternity president; Bob Dickinson was president of Omicron Delta Kappa, senior Worthy and Men’s Debate, and Paul Petro was the head of Student Congress Assemblies Committee and President of Pi Tau Phi. And, furthermore, the Delta Sig's have better organization. DELTA TAU DELTA Pres. Dick Swanson Rec. See. George Shafer Adv. Alex Schieb V. Pres. Charles Beck Treas. Stan Lake Founded at Bethany College in 1857, Delta Tau Delta constantly strives to practice the aims of the fraternity: positive growth in personality, force of character, and individuality. These aims arc reflected in the actions of the fraternity. Delta Tau Delta had a well rounded list of activities, both social and scholastic. Last fall the Delts celebrated their 50th anniversary at a banquet-formal held in the William Penn Hotel. Since that big event, the Delts have had many tea dances, house parties and the annual spring formal at the Jack town Hotel. Christmas time brought many activities for the fraternity, but the fellows found time to give a Christmas party for the orphans with a Santa Claus distributing presents to all the children. Spring Carnival time introduced the campus to “French Fried,” a gay show revolving around the choosing of a French prime minis- ter. On the scholastic side, the Delts-had many members who were leaders on campus. Jarvis Cotton served as President of Men’s Glee Club, and was also a member of Omicron Delta Kappa. Taking his place beside Jarvis in O.D.K. was Bud Hodgin, who was also very active in Alpha Epsilon Delta, an honorary medical fraternity. Henry Lange, a member of A.E.D., belonged to Beta Beta Beta, an honorary fraternity in the college while Lynn Watson was known as “the orator” around the fraternity house, as he was a member of Men’s Debate. The Delts were well represented in athletics by Jim Palmer, Jim Zercher and Ralph Gaetano, members of the Pitt swimming team. Delta Tau Delta can well be proud of their many prominent members and of the various activities in which the fraternity participated. First Rox: G. Ballard, J. Lucas, J. Cotton, C. Beck, D.

They are proud of such members as Lois Grosz, vice president of Women’s Student Government Association; Shirley Ritz, treasurer of WSGA, and Jane Pickering, vice president of Senior Court and winner of the Norwegian Room trip to Europe. In addition, Delta Zeta boasts five members on Mortar Board, ten members on Quo Vadis, and one These smiles arc not the kind that could be caused by anything written in those textbooks' Cwcn. Last year this sorority was awarded the Panhel-lenic scholarship cup for the highest scholastic average among Pitt sororities. But all was not work for the Delta Zetas. Numerous social events were held including a Halloween party, a Christmas party, a senior picnic and a Spring formal. Nationally, the Pitt Delta Zetas rank near the top. They were awarded the national Delta Zeta scholarship, rushing and activities awards. On Easter, the Delta Zetas gave a party for cerebral palsy children. At Christmas they brought a little more happiness and cheer to others by giving an orphans party. Their outstanding scholastic record and many social activities really surpassed the commendable purposes of Delta Zeta. This purpose is uniting members in bonds of lasting friendship, promoting their moral and social culture and developing plans for guidance and unity in action.

Among them were first place in the Manuscripts poster contest, second place with the Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity for the Carnival Show and third place for their Carnival front. This year the chapter was especially proud of the many sisters who were quite prominent in extra-curricular activities. Janet Fiorucci was president of Panhel-lenic Council and a member of Mortar Board; Irene Marsico was president of Mortar Board, and Nancy Zentgraf was treasurer of the same organization. Dolly Consolo was vice president of Alpha Beta Gamma; Dolly McCabe was secretary of Cwens, and Peggy Brooks was secretary of the Class of ’57. In addition, five Thetas were Senior Mentors. The Kappa Alpha Theta’s social calendar this year included tea dances with Carnegie Tech and Washington and Jefferson fraternities, a Christmas formal at the sorority house, a spring formal at the Mt. Lebanon Country Club, a faculty dinner and a party with the Carnegie Tech Thetas. During the Christmas season the Thetas held their annual orphan’s party and also served as hostesses at the Alumnae Fireside Dinner. Fraternity sweethearts arc not a rarity in Kappa Alpha Theta—Nancy Zentgraf was a sweetheart of Phi Delta Theta; Sherry Graham, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Joanne Sisler, Phi Gamma Delta.

In October the Kappas celebrated their Founder’s Day with a dinner at the Gateway Center dining room. December, too, was a busy month for the Kappa Kappa Gammas. They held their annual Christmas formal in the Blue Room at their sorority house. They invited the house girls to a Christmas party and held a Christmas party for underprivileged orphans. In addition to these social events, parents, actives and alumnae were invited to a reception -in honor of the sorority’s new pledges. The girls also joined with Delta Tau Delta for their annual faculty dinner. The Kappas received their share of trophies. Last spring, they took second place with Pi Kappa Alpha for their carnival front, and their sing team placed second in the Interfraternity Panhellcnic Sing. Taking an active part in school activities this year were Popie Papandreas, guild chairman of WSGA; Jocelyn Shoemaker, secretary of the Class of ’56, and as a Senior Mentor, Shirley Simons did her part.

The brothers started the year by winning the Interfraternity Scholarship Cup for the second consecutive year and by placing first in the Greek Sing. The Kappa Xu brothers who take an active part in Men’s Debate helped to capture first place in the Inter-fraternity Debate. In keeping with their purpose of cultivating a spirit of harmony and brotherhood, each pledge class plans a project for the fraternity house; this year’s pledges built a patio for their backyard. Although the Kappa Xu’s are constantly in a whirl of activity in school events, they still find time to enjoy their social calendar. Among their social events for this year were a Winter formal at Churchill Valley Country Club, a Spring formal at Baldoc Country Club, barn dances, hayrides and two pledge affairs in which the pledges provided the entertainment. At Christmas time they held their annual Christmas party for orphan children. The Kappa Xu’s are very proud of their outstanding men on campus: Emil Herman, president of Kappa Xu, is also president of Student Congress, former president of Phi Eta Sigma, a member of Druids, Pitt Glee Club, and Omicron Delta Kappa; Stanley Greenfield is the vice president of Interfraternity Council, Secretary of Men’s Debate, appointments chairman of Student Congress and editor of the “Compass”, Bob Sedler is president of Phi Eta Sigma, treasurer of Men’s Debate and public relations chairman of Student Congress.

In activities the Phi Delts took top honors in intramural football, winning twenty-three straight games and capturing not only inter-fraternity and intramural awards but also the city title for the second consecutive year. Honors copped last spring included first place in I. F. basketball and first in the sweepstakes contest. The Phi Delts were outstanding in other activities as well. Proof of this success was the third place tie award in the I. F. Sing and first place trophy in the Sling. The social season started off with the typically gala White Carnation Dance which ended the rushing season. After that came a series of festive activities including house dances, buffet dinners, grove parties, the featured Triad Dance and the Spring Formal. Phi Delta places high with members participating in school political activities. Milt Emery, Omicron Delta Kappa, Druid and Men’s Council executive; Art Vogel, vice president of Men’s Council, and Donald Shanafelt, Phi Beta Kappa, and Men’s Council, were outstanding as were the seven other members in school governing bodies. One of the Phi Dclt’s biggest projects last year was the redecorating of their basement to provide new pine-paneled chapter- and play-rooms in their house on Dithridgc Street. 267 The Phi Dclt’s trim their Christmas tree for a house party. PHI EPSILON PI .ETA CHAPTER Supervisor Yale Rosenstein V. Supervisor Donald Gartner Cor. See. Ronald Sobel Rec. Sec. Jack Oftenboch Adv. Yigdor Kavaler Phi Epsilon Pi fraternity looks back on a full year for 1954-55. In trying to maintain their aim of a fraternal-istic spirit and to help in molding the men of our nation, they have also kept themselves busy in many campus activities. The brothers are proud of the men who have attempted to further these aims: I larvey Klein is publicity director of the Pitt Players and has been tapped by Omicron Delta Kappa; Don Gartner, a member of Men’s Council and vice-president of the Druids; Neal Zweig, who is Advertising Editor of the Owl; Howie Berman, Interfraternity Scholarship Chairman; and Boyd Swartz, a member of Kappa Kappa Psi, national honorary band fraternity. Besides the brothers’ many campus activities, they still found time for a well rounded social life. The Phi F.p’s held an annual Christmas party each year for orphans. They had a winter formal honoring the sweetheart of the fraternity at the Baldoc Country Club. In the spring there was a big weekend at which a formal dinner dance was given, and the fraternity awards were given out. Other highlights were the tea dances with girls from Carnegie Tech and P.C.W., the barn dances, Penn State Weekend and the joint lodge party with the Delts. In December the pledges gave the active brothers a party and provided their own entertainment. Besides landscaping around the house and working on some civic projects, the pledges went to visit other chapters of Phi Epsilon Pi to get ideas on how to improve their own chapter. To finish the year the brothers had a Mother’s Day luncheon. All this helps to further the fraternal spirit of Phi Epsilon Pi. First Row: S. Kublanow, A. Berger, D. Winfield, E. Kavaler, V.

The Phi Gam brothers boast of the athletic honors they received. Last year they won the all-school trophy in softball and track'and the interfraternity trophy in volleyball. Besides this they received a brown jug from the Phi Gam chapter at W J by defeating them in softball, and they took second place in interfraternity wrestling and swimming. The Phi Gams are particularly proud of their men in activities. Roger Jennings, their president, was an upper class counselor; Walt Becker was a member of Men’s Council, Druids, and a Sophomore class officer in Engineering; Bo Wilkins was president of Men’s Council, vice president of Omicron Delta Kappa, an upper class counselor, Junior class president in the College, and a member of the swimming team; Joe Lamartine spent his time swinging from goal posts as the Pitt panther, and Al Gunderson was an outstanding Pitt track star.

These girls enjoyed many social activities during the school term. The annual picnic was held at which the sorority sisters gathered together for a day of fun. Besides their tea dances, the Phi Mu’s held two formals, one at Christmas and one in the spring. This year the group initiated a “secret ambitions” party at which each sister dressed in a manner corresponding to her secret ambition. On a more serious side, Phi Mu emphasized scholarship, friendly relations with fellow students and faculty participation in activities. At all their meetings, held in the Bcllcficld Dwellings, one of the members gave a short informative talk on some subject of interest to the group. At least once dur- Whcrcvcr Grecian frats shall stand” you'll hear a Phi Mu song. ing the month, they held the ‘Philomathian Hour’ during which one girl spoke for an hour on an educational topic. The girls contributed to their national pledge project which was to care for the Indian children of the Navajo tribe, by gathering food, clothing and money. For their own chapter project, Phi Mu gave an Easter Party for orphans. When there isn't a man around, a teddy bear can be a good partner for a new dance step. First Ro c: R. D'Urso, M. Ncidhart, L.

At their new sorority apartment on Bigelow Boulevard, they were forever thinking up new and exciting ideas for both social and scholastic activities. One very beneficial activity which the girls are noted for is their whole-hearted participation in charitable organizations. Again this year, they spent one Sunday afternoon washing cars in order to raise money for the Rheumatic Fever Fund. In addition they aided in the support of war orphans. Their endeavors were not all serious, however, for they had quite a heavy social schedule. Their spring formal, held each year to welcome new members, was a very important event besides house parties, barn dances and an open house held after the Panhellenic party for rushees. The Phi Sig’s can also be proud of their scholastic achievements. They placed second on campus for sorority average. They won the scholarship cup at the Phi Sigma Sigma national convention last June and received honorable mention for Best Chapter Award at the same convention. “The advancement of womanhood through a close union of congenial friends of high character” . . . an excellent description of these active girls who really added spirit and enthusiasm to Pitt’s college life.

In 1868, a few college students joined together in a fraternal bond on the University of Virginia campus. From this beginning, the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity spread until in 1934 the fraternity was first established at Pitt. I he fraternity tries to establish friendship on a lasting basis. From early fall to late spring, the PiKA’s social life was a constant whirl of parties and dances. During rushing week, social events were a regular part of the week. Pledge parties and tea dances followed after rushing was over. The Dream Girl Formal was held during January. At this dance, the sweetheart of the fraternity was announced. In the month of June, the formal weekend took its place on the social calendar. Three days of parties were climaxed by a dinner-dance. The fraternity added a host of trophies to the mantle-piece both this year and last. During Spring Carnival Week festivities, the PiKA’s took two second place trophies, in carnival front and the float parade and third place in the racer sweepstakes. The fraternity took a first place award for the best Greek Week hat, third place in the Greek Sing and second place in the fraternity football league. The PiKA’s had many men active in school affairs. Bill Wallhausser was a member of Sigma I au and ODK; he was v. pres, of the Heinz Chapel Choir. Ed Christner was a member of Men s Council and Druids. Three members of the group played on the football team and one performed for the wrestling team.

Julian Silverman Pi Lambda Phi fraternity is a non-sectarian national social fraternity devoted to producing upright American citizens through brotherhood, fellowship and mutual assistance. The fraternity, originally founded at Yale in 1895, was chartered on the Pitt campus in 1914. At homecoming this year, the Pi Lam’s welcomed their old grads with a party at their house located at 225 N. Dithridge St. The fall and winter seasons were filled with numerous tea-dances, parties and social events that kept all the members busy. Two formal dances in the winter and summer gave the fraternity members a chance to give their tuxedos quite a bit of wear. During the year, the Pi Lam’s had a masquerade party at which the members and their dates had their own Mardi Gras. One of the crowning events in the Pi Lam’s social calendar was the naming of the fraternity queen at their annual queen affair. During Pitt’s annual spring carnival the Pi Lam’s were quite active. This past year they sponsored the “Dunk a Pi Lam” booth where the object was to toss a member into a large tank of water. Both the fraternity members and those who visited the carnival enjoyed this booth to the utmost! Pi Lambda Phi has produced many outstanding men on the Pitt campus: Joseph Trattner, a member of Men’s Debate, Student Congress, Druids and Chairman of Greek Week, was a well-known student politician ; Alan Skirboll was outstanding as business manager of the 1955 OWL.

Tea dances were held throughout the year each month, a pledge’s party for the actives in December, several house dances and a sweetheart dance in the Spring. The brothers also held a Christmas party and an Faster party for orphans. Following the initiation of their pledges a formal initiation banquet was held. Honors are another specialty with the Sigma Chi’s. Last year they took first place in their carnival show “Maid in Mexico” with the Tri Dclts, third place in the float parade, second place in the Greek sing and third place in interfraternity scholarship.

THETA CHI ALPHA BETA CHAPTER Dating from the year 1856, the Theta Chi fraternity was founded on the campus of the University of Norwich in Vermont. The Alpha Beta chapter of Theta Chi was chartered at Pitt in the year 1919. As the Theta Chi’s planned their social calendar this year, they were happy with the knowledge that each member of the fraternity would be given the chance to enjoy the social aspect of fraternity life. In early fall, a rash of rushing parties brought new potential members flocking to the fraternity doors. After rushing was over for the semester, the Theta Chi’s followed through with pledge parties and tea dances for its members.

A pledge dinner and a fashion show at the University Club started the Theta Phi Alpha social season off just right. The fashion show in particular was a big success. Alumnae of Theta Phi Alpha served as models. Two formals arc held each year. The White Rose Formal took place around Christmas, and another formal fell in the Spring. The girls entertained their alumnae with a Founder's Day breakfast at which the Senior Service Award was given to an outstanding senior sister. The alumnae, in turn, held a Senior Tea at the end of the year to honor all graduating members. An annual Day of Recollection was also observed. In the real yule-tide spirit of giving, Theta Phi Alpha held a party for orphans. They made dolls for children and made contributions to various charities. One of the main charities is the Glenmary Mission in Glendale, Ohio. At last year’s Spring Carnival, Theta Phi Alpha joined with Alpha Phi Pelta fraternity to produce their show “Come Back Little Pisan.” These girls work continuously toward their two-fold purpose of promoting a Catholic atmosphere among themselves and maintaining a high scholastic standing on campus.

Rushing was partly carried out with a dessert party before Panhellenic Ball and various pledge parties. In the spring, along with working on Spring Carnival, the Zeta Tau Alpha’s found time for their spring formal and a senior banquet. During the year they had tea dances with the Theta Chi’s, Pi Kappa Alpha’s, and Phi Gamma Delta’s. Yet they still found time for service to their national charity, the Cerebral Palsy Fund. Almost all of the Zeta’s were active at Pitt. Five were senior mentors, Barbara Russell was on Senior Court and Sue Biddle piloted the sophomore class. Gay Barley was president of Idaka, Shirley McCauley and Shirley Backstrom held down the offices of vice-president and treasurer of Panhellenic Council, respectively. Rose Scarpiello was president of the Nationality Rooms Guild, while Nancy Jones represented the junior class in Woman’s Student Government Association and was feature editor for the Pitt News.

The girls also contributed to such charitable organizations as the Red Cross, the Community Chest and many orphanages throughout the city. In addition to these contributions, the sorority had a very unusual project. The girls helped sponsor a bookmobile which carries literature to areas where books would be otherwise unobtainable.

Kann PSI CHAPTER On campus for thirty-five years, Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity celebrated its anniversary with an annual founder’s day formal on December fourth, commemorating the aims set forth by the group to foster a spirit of fraternity, loyalty to the alma mater and the ideals of manhood, democracy and humanity. In the past school year they have worked hard toward that purpose with considerable accomplishments. In school activities they participated in school interfraternity athletics and won several awards. They took first place in badminton, first in softball and third in basketball. On the side they managed to work for the Red Cross, a Jewish children’s home and for the United Jewish Fund which was under the direction of one of the alumni, Mr. Nathaniel P. Kann. The social functions which the fraternity offered included hilarious “jail parties” in which the house was decorated like a jail and everyone dressed as high class criminals, and other dances when the house was decorated with hay, and as a French cabaret, but the highlight of the year came with the annual spring formal.

Whitney PENNSYLVANIA GAMMA CHAPTER Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity was one of the first fraternities on the Pitt Campus to change “Hell Week” into a “Help Week.” The brothers make their pledges do something constructive during this week to build a stronger brotherhood within the fraternity and to keep their purpose of furthering the ideals of Pitt. For Sigma Phi Epsilon members, “Help Week” carries its significance throughout the year. A special fund helps to send about 400 underprivileged boys and girls to summer camp each year. Social fraternities must have their social events, and Sig Ep's had their share of them this year. In November, the brothers celebrated the Pitt-Penn State weekend with a house dance, and during the rest of the year, they had a series of events including tea dances, a hayride, an Alumni-Active dance, a barn dance and other social affairs. In February, all Sig Ep brothers gathered for their annual Founder’s Day banquet. Two of the major social functions were the Sweetheart dance and the Southern Ball, both held in the spring. We should have tried that sorority house in the first place.” FinlRote: R. Leary, R. Seng, Jr., H. Engle, G. See. Seeond Row: J. Dcnhart, R. Kadel, R. Dan ton, D. Cox, R. Ferber, L. Anderson, L.

The Chi Chapter at Pitt, founded in 1920, can also be proud of being a growing part of that fraternity. During the past year, the Sigma Pi’s enjoyed a full schedule of social events. Between the periodic house dances and the other parties, the members had a Christmas party at the house on Mellwood Street and an Alumni banquet to commemorate Founder’s Day. In the spring, the Sigma Pi’s had a long to be remembered weekend when they had not only the annual Orchid Ball but also an outing at one of the county parks. Last year’s Sigma Pi Carnival booth was unique in selling pizza pic. From 1932 to 1948 the Chi chapter at Pitt had been inactive, but since being reactivated, it has built up its membership and obtained a chapter house. It aims at establishing a brotherhood among students, developing character and promoting civic righteousness among college men. I know that you don’t like spaghetti, but I do. First Row: N.

This year the chapter took part in volunteer Red Cross work; they contributed to the Robbie Page Memorial Fund for underprivileged children in the mountains of West Virginia, and they held their annual orphan’s party with a fraternity during the Christmas season. Besides helping others, the Tri Sig’s still found time to socialize. They had many tea dances with fraternities, a spring formal, a Christmas formal and a tea in honor of their mothers. 'This year on April 21, the Sigma Sigma Sigma actives and alumnae gathered at the PAA to celebrate their national founding at Farmille, Virginia. Each year the actives take a general knowledge test about the fraternity’s history. This test was given to all chapters of Sigma Sigma Sigma throughout the country by the national organization.

Fraternity and sorority objectives should be united with the purposes of the educational institution that they complement socially. They should be organizations dedicated to the important activities which create a more rounded college life for its members. Fraternities and sororities assume the responsibilities of directing the individual in the paths that best exemplify specific qualities of attainment for the student. At the same time they indicate the extent to which he may better his life by displaying his own development through the loyalty and indebtedness he has for the college he attends. A fraternity and sorority must be of high moral caliber to constantly demonstrate to its members and the community the correct conduct and good taste expected of intelligent citizens. It is the purpose of fraternities and sororities, to help its members develop safe and wholesome physical practices as well as to stimulate a desire to improve their intellectual progress as they pursue a course toward higher intellectual achievement.

Playing probably the toughest schedule in the country, the gridders bounced back from three opening defeats to pull three consecutive upsets over Navy, Northwestern and West Virginia. In their final trio of games, they were beaten by the nation’s top team, Ohio State, and by Penn State but added Nebraska on the winning side. All in all, the team made a fine showing against such strong opposition, considering that Head Coach Red Dawson became ill after the third contest and Athletic Director Tom Hamilton had to takeover. The triumph over Navy was rated one of the biggest upsets of the year. First Row: R. Cipcr, C. Copetas, C. Rice, R. DiPasqualc, C. Cost, H. Ford, N. Passodclis, D. Man son, G. Stcratorc, E. Mazur, J.

Trojans Rap Pitt, 27-7, In Night Opener at LA Ford's Pass Scores TD; Last Half Fatal Opening with Southern California in a night game at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, the Panthers stayed on even terms with the Trojans for three periods but finally lost out in the last quarter, 27-7. Pitt scored on a 49-yard pass play from Henry Ford to Dick Scherer in the second period after Southern Cal had opened the scoring a few minutes earlier. Soph fullback Tom Jenkins was doing the brunt of the running for the Panthers until he was hurt midway through the third stanza. Shortly after this, the Trojans started to move and broke the deadlock in the final quarter with three touchdowns. Jon Arnett was the big gun for the victors as he continually tore through the Panther line for big gains and wound up with three touchdowns. Penalties cost the Panthers quite heavily in this tilt as many drives were halted by offside and other infractions. Dick Shcrcr catches Ford’s 49-yard pass for Pitt’s only score. Jon Arnett, Trojan back, bolts over from the two-yard line. Minnesota’s Alertness Beats Fumbling Pitt, 46-7 Bagamery is caught in backfield by Gopher lineman. Interceptions, Miscues Lose For Bine Gold Minnesota opened the home card at Pitt Stadium and as far as the Panthers were concerned, the Gophers should have never been invited. The final score was 46-7 with Minnesota on the tall end, and this end was sure far from the other end. At halftime the Gophers only had 14 compared to Pitt’s 7, and the battle looked like it might be close all the way. In the second half, though, the Big Ten team took advantage of five fumbles and three interceptions to ring up five TD’s and wrap up the contest. The turning point was a 64-yard punt return by Gopher star halfback Bob McNamara in the third period and the Panthers never recovered. Grier’s block is to no avail as Bagamery is brought down after short gain. Irish Batter Winless Pitt As 60,144 Pack Stadium Irish Attack Drops Panthers, 33-0 The fabulous Irish from South Bend, Notre Dame, were the second visitors to Pitt Stadium and they packed the bowl with 60,144 people as they knocked off Pitt, 33-°- This was the largest crowd here since 1938. The Irish were coached by youthful Terry Brennan who took over this year for Prank Leahy. ''Bugs Bagamcry rides Joe Heap, Irish halfback, to the ground. Irish full-back brings down Scherer after taking down-and-out pass. Brennan showed the fans that he too knew how to coach as his charges played outstanding on offense as well as defense. Pitt stayed with the Irish until a controversial play in the Panther end one gave Notre Dame a lead late in the second period. This was the game that soph Corny Salvaterra was switched to quarterback and although it didn’t result in Blue and Gold scores, the move proved quite valuable in later games. 325 Panthers Upset Middies For First Victory, 21-19 Ford spills Navy halfback on attempted end sweep. Hamilton, Salvaterra, Glatz Snap Navy String Athletic Director Tom Hamilton, stepping into the head coaching position just five days previous, directed the Panthers to a nation-wide shocker over his former alma mater, Navy, 21-19. Since Coach Red Dawson had to go to the hospital with a heart ailment, Hamilton took over as Interim Coach for the remainder of the season. On the field the Panthers had m ny stars but two that especially shone were Quarterback Corny Salvaterra and End Freddy Glatz. For their performances, Salvaterra was selected for the back-field of the week and Glatz as lineman of the week in national polls. The Middies had been unbeaten before this game, but the Panthers stopped this while also garnering their first win. The game was close all the way with Navy pressing hard to come back; however, the Panthers were strong that afternoon. Salvaterra powers his way through big gap in Navy line for winning touchdown. Pitt Bests Wildcats, 14-7, In Remaining 39 Seconds Salvaterra Big Hero In Panther Second PVin Pitt’s surprising Panthers continued their comeback drive against Northwestern’s Wildcats as they whipped the Big Ten school, 14-7. Playing before a Homecoming crowd at the Stadium, the Pitts pulled their second straight upset by scoring with 39 seconds remaining. Corny Salvaterra scored the dramatic touchdown on an end sweep. Although the Panthers had the Wildcats on the ropes throughout most of the game, they had to put on a theatrical finish to gain the victory. The triumph evened the all-time scries record between the schools at two apiece. The contest was also televised nationally as the Game of the Week. Paluck leaps for ball but misses. Salvaterra brought down by cross-body block after 40-yard run. Pitt Hangs 13-10 Loss On Mounties; Win Third Panther Forward Wall Stops Stubborn WVU Playing in Morgantown before a record crowd, the Blue and Gold of Pitt emerged triumphant over West Virginia, 13-10. The game was sweet revenge for the Panthers who had been defeated the past two years by the Mounties. It also knocked WVU out of contention for a post-season bowl game. It was the third straight Pitt win and put the seasonal mark at 3-3. Stars of the contest included Halfback Henry Ford, Tackle Eldred Kraemer and Quarterback Corny Salvaterra. Credit, however, went to the Panther forward wall which easily played its best game of the season. Salvaterra threw to Bugs Bagamery and Freddy Glatz for touchdowns. Ford was the big ground gainer especially in the final touchdown drive, and Kraemer played superbly at his tackle position. Carl Norman, Mountie back, circles Pitt’s left end for six yards. Fred Glatz leaps high in end zone to snare Corny Salvaterra’s winning touchdown pass in the last three minutes of game. Good interference from Palatella ( 8) enables Salvaterra to pick up good yardage Buckeyes Romp To Win Over Pitt Before 82,000 The Nations Top Team Ends Pitt Streak, 26-0 Ohio State, the nation’s top team, showed the Panthers exactly why they were rated so high by blanking Pitt 26-0 at Columbus. Trying for their fourth win, the Panthers couldn't match the faster, hard-charging Buckeyes and instead took a fourth loss. Many Pittites thought the locals had a good chance for another upset and traveled to Columbus for the game, but the Big Ten champs were too much. It was the first defeat for the Panthers under Interim Coach Tom Hamilton. OSU scored once in each quarter with Quarterback Dave Leggett and Halfback Bobby Watkins being the leaders in all the Buckeye uprisings. A sellout crowd of 82,000, largest to watch the Panthers this season, looked on as Coach Woody Hayes’ charges swept through their seventh contest. The Pitt loss was the 13th in the all-time scries with the Panthers having won four times, tied once. Tom Jenkins, Pitt fullback, slams in from side to down Dave Leggett, OSU quarterback. Bobby Watkins, hard running OSU back, sails over Pitt defenders to score from one-yard line. Pitt's Power Humbles Aroused Huskers, 21-7 Bob Grier (38) rips through the Nebraska line for three-yards and Pitt's first touchdown. Hamilton Starts Sophs IVho Score For 2 TD's Bouncing back from the Ohio State loss, the Pitt Panthers went out to Lincoln, Nebraska to defeat the Huskers, 21-7. Coach Hamilton pulled a surprise in this game by starting the second team with six sophs among them, and the shock troops responded ably by scoring two of the TD’s. The first team also got into the act as center Bob Ballock intercepted a pass and rambled over for a six-pointer. Other scorers were Bugs Baga-mery and Fullback Bob Grier. Pitt was again the underdog in this tilt but came out with their fourth win by dumping the Big Seven’s Orange Bowl candidate. This left the all-time slate at 13-3-3 in favor of the Panthers. Laurels on the line in this game went to Tackle Lou Palatella, End Bob McQuaide and End John Paluck while playing well in the backficld was Corky Cost. Don Comstock (42) takes a pitchout from Don Erway (25) for a nine-yard Nebraska gain. Mud, Rain, Lions Crush Pitt in Home Final, 20-0 Panthers End Season EVith 4 IVins, 5 Defeats In the season finale at the Stadium, the Penn State I,ions invaded the Panther’s den for the annual backyard scramble and as in the past two years, Pitt went down, this time by 20-0. The game was played in rain and mud that made both running and passing hard. The I.ions, however, led by Don Bailey, plowed through for three markers and held the Panther attack well in hand. In their last games for the Blue and Gold were 14 seniors. Included were Co-captains Henry Ford and Lou Palatella, Linemen Eldred Kracmer, Bob McQuaide, Bob Ballock, Bill Cessar, Glen Dillon, Ray Macedonis and Don Schlick. In the backfield, those graduating included Richie McCabe, Johnny Jacobs, Chet Rice, Bill Hoffman and Rudy Mattioli.

If the third time is the charm, then Panther hoop coach Bob Timmons should be wearing a grin right about now even though he just experienced a disappointing season in his second year as head basketball coach. When Timmons took over Pitt’s basketball fortunes in the 953-54 campaign, he was faced with a major rebuilding job. That year ran fairly true to form with the Blue and Cold winning nine while dropping 14. At the start of this past season, Timmons was keeping his fingers crossed and hoping for the best. After a poor start which saw them losing their first four games, the Panthers caught fire and notched five of their next six contests. Just when it looked like they might make a real season of it, the Timmonsmen slacked off and were never quite able to regain their winning form. As a result, they posted a just-fair season log of 10-16. Faced with this, Timmons has begun looking forward to next season when he will have the pick of a freshman squad which nailed up a 14-2 chart—one of the best frosh records for many years. To go along with the coming frosh, the Panthers will have some good talent among the present sophomores— two of whom, John Riser and Bob Lazor, were regulars this year. Thus, it looks like Timmons may finally begin to reap some of the fruits of his labors when the ’55-’ 6 season rolls around. Pavlick passes off to Fenwick. Don Tobin, 6' 4 Duke guard, grabs rebound. Zimmovan gets by two Tech players and scores. Fenwick makes a beautiful lay-up in Tech game. Of course, one happy note for the Panther fans all season was the record-breaking performances of Captain Ed Pav-lick who smashed four Pitt scoring records during the course of the campaign. The 6-3 Johnstown Catholic hoopster reached his peak when he crumpled Charley Hyatt’s career mark of 913 points in the final contest of the season against Penn State. Going into that game, Pavlick needed 15 points to eclipse Hyatt’s mark and before the final tally was in he had garnered 31 to set the new standard at 929. Another highlight of the Blue and Gold campaign, though not winning-wise, was when they went on a 4000-mile trip which took them to Army, Navy, Tampa, Miami (Florida), and Puerto Rico. The jaunt to Puerto Rico marked the first time a Pitt basketball team has traveled outside the continental United States. While there, the Jungle Cats split even in two contests with the Islanders. Also scoring well for the Panthers were the two soph starters, Riser and Razor. Riser, the 6-4 Washington product, was second in scoring for the locals with just less than a 14 points per game average. He also teamed with Razor and Pavlick to give the Panthers their rebound strength. Razor, the 5-5 center from Canonsburg High was the third leading point-maker with an average of just under twelve tallies per game. Besides Pavlick, the only other graduating cagers were starter Joe Resutek, also from Johnstown Catholic, and reserve center Dave Duessel of Peabody High. 334 John Lanevc, Pitt guard, races to get ball.

Sowell, former Schcnlcy High School great, added another laurel to his running feats in the Penn State meet when he covered the Schcnlcy Park trail in 26:43.7, the fastest ever run over the five-mile course.

First Row: J. Lathrop, R. Finder, R. Kaupe, R. Gaetano, W. Furrcr, W. White. Second Row: J. Zurcher, R. Wilkins, S. Monscin, H. Zcntgraf, B. Bauer, B. Marks. Third Row: H. Castcllucci, R. O'Rourke, Coach B. Grady, Asst. Coach J. Palmer, B. Sklar. Jim Zurcher Swimming team works out at PAA pool. Routed by Colgate in their opener, the Blue and Gold mermen finished strong, winning their last three meets and beating such powers as Rutgers, Lehigh, and City College of New York in scoring their fourth consecutive eastern triumph. The fine season was a result of team effort as evidenced in the Easterns. Everyone of the Panther’s eightman squad took home at least one medal. Jim Zurcher won both the 220 and 440—yard frecstyles while Skip Monscin captured the 100 and 200—yard backstroke events. Warne White took first in the individual medley to cap off the individual performances. These winners then combined with Bill Kurrer, Roy Kaupc, and Hank Zentgraf to win both the medley and freestyle relay events. Divers Ralph Gaetano and Bert Marks also added points for the Panthers and an unprecedented fourth triumph was in the bag. Two Pitt swimmers demonstrate breast stroke.

Generally, 1955 was looked on as a rebuilding year for the Panther matmen who lost four stalwarts from the previous campaign. But with determination and hard practice to augment the fine coaching of Pcery, the sophomore-laden wrestlers garnered wins over such powers as Michigan State, Lock Haven, Illinois, and Penn State. The two losses came at the hands of Lehigh and Michigan. In addition to their fine seasonal chart, the Blue and Gold finished first in the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association tournament for the second successive year and third in the grueling National Collegiate Athletic Association classic.

Three of the Jungle Cats came through the dual meet competition with spotless records—Ed Peery in the 130-pound division, Ed DeWitt in the 167-pound class, and Joe Solomon in the 177-pound class. Other stellar performers were Bill Hulings in the 123-pound class, Nick Swentosky in the 137-pound division, Bob Cook in the 147-pound class, Don Huff in the 157-pound division, and Dan Wisnewski in the heavyweight ranks. The Pccrymen grabbed a trio of individual titles in the Easterns as Hulings, Peery, and Solomon came through to win the 123, 130, and 177-pound crowns respectively. Peery also annexed the 123-pound National title to score a grandslam in tourney action and close out his first year of varsity competition with 17 straight wins. 343 Swcutosky squirms out of “near predicament.

Lacking the poise so vital in the sport and which can he gained only through experience, the Panthers nevertheless were good enough to put up good showings against such veteran teams as Navy and Penn State and to defeat Xotre Dame.

Two other Panthers earned first places—ace tumbler Bob Kennedy with two and John Petrakes, on the side horse, had one. Joe Lamartine, another sophomore, ranked second in scoring, finishing just ahead of Kennedy and Don Shima. Other gymnasts who proved to be valuable assets this season were Randy Cronau, Walt Star ., Keith Lough, and Dave Ruber.

WOMEN’S RECREATION ASSOCIATION An active campus group, the Women’s Recreational Association is composed of girls eager for fun and fellowship through individual and group sports. The program of WRA provides for ;C variety of activities for the enjoyment of its members. The group journeyed to Oglebay Park for a weekend of camping and .cook-outs. A co-recreational night was held at the Field House where boys and girls got together for games of volleyball and badminton. Such events as hockey games and swimming parties were also enjoyed by the members. In the fall, a party for freshman women was held in the Cathedral gym where the freshmen came together for fun through participation in various games. WRA also sponsored many tournaments throughout the freshman physical education classes. There were two innovations added to the WRA program this year. The group sponsored a basketball tournament among the various women’s organizations on campus. Sororities and interest groups alike joined in the competition for the basketball trophy. Fencing was introduced to the program to give a more well-rounded background of physical activities to the members. Through active participation in WRA, any woman enrolled in the University has the opportunity for fun, frolic and the improvement of her abilities in sports.

Now if you Just put your arm around my neck like this . . By providing a program of athletics, the Intramural Division of the Athletic Department maintains the finest form of wholesome recreation throughout the school year. The Intramural program, under the direction of Leo C. Bemis, covered a field of 19 different sports. Pitt retained the city IM crown in football as Phi Delta Theta beat Duquesne’s champion, 6-0, for the second year in a row. The Newman Club was the runner-up in touch-football. In team competition Theta Chi fraternity took the wrestling crown. Delta Tau Delta came in first in bowling, and in badminton it was Sigma Chi that copped the honors. Basketball began in the Field House in December, 1954 with 56 teams entered in the various leagues—frat, professional, independent, engineering, club, and all-star. The Johnstown Jets, who were in the runner-up position last year, again were in the competition for top laurels. Because of intra-school interest, fencing became a part of the sports calendar when a fencing club was formed. The Intramural program at Pitt afforded competition for all and was an opportunity offered to those students who lacked time to participate in inter-collegiate athletics. Is holding hands a new rule for playing basketball? CHEERLEADERS This year for the first time in Pitt’s one hundred and sixty-eight years, the provocative forms of women cheerleaders joined the male line of excited pep-rousers. The boys have always worked hard before and did much to keep the school spirit of Pitt football fans—win or lose. Nevertheless, the introduction of women cheerleaders did much to spark enthusiasm in the Pitt cheering section. Although there were mixed emotions about having coeds do their bit for Pitt, final approval was granted and the girls began practicing the time-honored songs and chants that have carried Pitt football heroes to countless victories and have made the Pitt Panthers a great team to be reckoned with—and now the women have added to Pitt football color and sparkle. According to Chet Zukowski, head cheerleader, “cooperation during the year was beautiful.” The co-eds worked very hard to justify the majority of the student body who decided in a popularity poll that Pitt should have women cheerleaders. Cheerleaders during the football season included: Chet Zukowski, Bus. Ad., ’56; Herb Rcbhun, Bus. Ad., ’55; A1 Katz, Col., ’56; Ron Rothaus, Col., ’57; Dorothy Tear, Col., ’57; Thelma Ackerman, Col., ’56; Ginny Anthony, Ed., ’55; and Pauline Markess, Col., ’$6. Members of the Pitt gymnastic team, Jim Mulvihill, Will Stanz, Joe Ray, Don Shima, and Joe Lamartine worked with the leaders and performed between cheers. Watch you don’t spill it, Pauline!' 'Wow!

COurt 1-0488-89 Enjoy Sealtest Ice Cream when visiting the Tuck Shop ICE CREAM 396 In the very beginning, when Pittsburgh was only a cluster of cabins at the Point, two dreams stirred its soul—a splendid, surging materialism, and a yearning for cultural growth. 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 wc have been preparing ready-to-serve delicacies to save the time and effort of America's housewives. H. J. HEINZ COMPANY @ 397 Dunn-Scott Co.

The refractory brick of many kinds from which industry’s furnaces are built must fulfill exacting service requirements that vary widely in different applications—for example, the conditions which refractories must withstand in iron blast furnaces are entirely different from those in glass melting furnaces or in cement kilns. Through engineering and research, Har-bison-Walkcr continues to develop refractories that meet the widely different furnace needs and has kept abreast of continually changing demands of industry. Whatever the furnace conditions may be, Harbison-Walker can furnish the types and classes of refractories that will prove most economical and give longest service. HARBISON-WALKER REFRACTORIES CO.

Editor Jack Caldwell, Associate Editor Paul Gilliland, Tom Vrana, photo editor, Business Manager Alan Skirboll, and Publications advisor Dr. Donald K. Swarts journeyed to the printers in Buffalo, New York, to “talk yearbook. At this first meeting, the theme of the book was discussed and decided upon as “The World At Pitt.” A motif and artwork were decided upon which would compliment this theme. The type face that was picked was Caslon, 10 point for body type, 8 point for the captions and twenty-four point capitals for the heads. Also chosen was the paper stock which was 100 pound Cclckote for the body of the book and 100 pound Saxony for the Nationality Rooms. These rooms are used as class rooms 14 hours each day, and are the only rooms of their kind in existence. The four-color pictures of the Nationality Rooms were taken by Jack Caldwell and Tom Vrana in September. The copy was written by Don Miller. The pictures were taken with a Speed Graphic and shot on Eastman's daylight ektachrome color film. The printing was done by Wm. J. Keller’s offset lithography process known as Velvatone. This yearbook contains the first color-photography reproductions of these rooms ever to be printed. Commercially, the original film transparencies of the rooms arc valued at 5000 dollars. The book met heavy deadlines in December, January, and February. Finally the last deadline was sent to the printer on March 25. The photography was done entirely by students with the exception of the senior and underclassmen portraits and a few of the formal group shots. This is the second year that the Owl is including a summer supplement. This 16-page addition is prepared by the new editor and his staff in the spring of the year. It covers all of the spring events and also gives the new staff a chance to get their feet wet” before the graduating members leave the school. The end-pages of the book are a photograph of the main Pitt campus taken from the roof of the Ruskin apartments. The sale of the book was raised from 1200 sales last year to 1500 sales this year. The book was completely sold out by the middle of March. The total number of printed pages in the book amounted to 448, the largest Pitt yearbook to date. 421 Mark Fradman Bobbi Douglas Joe Banik Lois Duerr Ginny Frcedland Addie Wilson I.co Zclkowitz Paul Gilliland Tom Vrana =3 Don Miller Paul Masoner Betty Skcnder Barbara Fclser Betty Young Mazic Hoffman THANKS ... An editor with an idea is nothing without the support of his staff. The 1955 Owl has been a success, and you, the staff, have made it so. Without your encouragement, help and advice, my senior year would surely have been a headache. I’d like to thank all of you. Long hours of effort went into the formulation of the book. A1 did a tremendous job of financing the Owl and running the business staff. Paul, my right hand man, kept the humor high in the office with wit and joking, helped lay out the book, and seemed to know the right answers and how to raise my spirits when they got a little low. Mark was Al's number one assistant and did a good job of smoothing things out. Tom did such a terrific job of taking pictures that I can hardly thank him enough. Bobbi did such a fine job of organizing that I needed only to ask her when she would have her work finished; she did the rest. Georgia put a lot of time into organizing the literary staff. Don wrote the Nationality Room copy along with other parts of the book, truly, the finest writing I have ever seen from a student. Joe did his usual top-flight job on his fraternities section and managed to make me crack a smile no matter what happened. Paul Masoner found the going a little rough at first, but did a good job and came through with a fine section. Lois also asked few questions and went ahead and put her section together with comparative ease. Betty tackled the sorority section and did a really efficient job; she always had a smile for everyone. Ginny, too, did such an exceptional job of organizing that her pages seemed to come in right and left almost by themselves. Barbara took hold of the classes section and did such a terrific job that I know whoever takes her place is going to have a hard time trying to surpass her. Addie practically lived with a typewriter in front of her, truly one of the most faithful staff members. Betty Ann wrote, typed, organized, proofed and did whatever needed immediate attention, always doing better than that which could be asked for. Leo went out and contracted organizations until I wondered if the book would burst at the seams with pages. Mazie teamed up with Eleanor Wiggins, not pictured, and chased down all the events that took place at school and made sure a photo-assignment was made. They did a good job of compiling a very interesting section. Help within the University came not only from students. I would like to thank Dean Theodore Biddle, Mrs. Agnes Starrctt, Mr. Fran Prey, Mrs. Ruth Crawford Mitchell, and Mr. Thomas Jarrett. Mr. Jarrett on more than one occasion advised Tom and myself on photography and was always willing to help us. I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to the book's printer, Wm. J. Keller Inc. Mr. Donald Messingcr, Mrs. Jewell M. Gates, and the rest of the staff did a beautifully interpretive job on the book, making it say what we wanted it to say. They were also quick with tremendous suggestions and easily understood my occasional unconventional practices in editing a yearbook. The beautiful cover on this book is the work of the S. K. Smith Co. Ralph Benz was eager and helpful in helping me plan the cover. I would like to thank Mr. Sam Fields from Delma Studios for his fine service to the yearbook, and Johnny Gaudiosi and Whit Delaplane who took the pictures. The man who was always there to turn to and who always had the right answer was Dr. Donald Swarts, my adviser. I’ll never be able to thank him enough for his kindness, help, and instructions which have enabled me to complete the ’55 Owl and to better prepare myself for eventualities after graduation. I’d now like to thank my parents for putting up with their son who came home at almost any hour during the night. They saw me occasionally at breakfast and on weekends. To the many I have not named, I would like to thank you all for your loyal help. I sincerely hope that whoever succeeds me will be fortunate enough to find as cooperative a staff as the one that not only made the ’55 Owl a success, but that gave something of themselves to insure a fitting tribute to their University.
