1956 EDITOR-IN-CHIEF JOSEPH A. BANIK BUSINESS MANAGER LEO ZELKOWITZ OWL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA CELEBRATES ■ 50 TH A NNIVERSARY ? L 'D t 0 rf The class of Nineteen Hundred and Seven of the Western University of Pennsylvania, deeming it fitting that the chronicles of the institution should be embodied ami preserved in some lasting form, determined upon the establishment of an annual publication to fill a neglected place in the University life. It is with sanguine hopes and no little trepidation that the editors arc now prepared to introduce the new Annual to the friends of tiie University. We have labored long and earnestly to produce a book worthy of the University and of our class. The success or failure of the work will doubtless be evidenced by its reception. In the one case we expect no eulogy. In the other we l cg no sympathy. We hope for the “Owl,” that it may prove of interest to all. afford amusement to some and be a source of offense to none. THE EDITORS I Excerpt from the first OWL.) Published by the Students of the University of Pittsburgh in Six Sections Calendar Classes Activities Sports Greeks Advertising George M. P. Huird, the 1901) editor, discusses development of the Owl with the present editor. 4 EDICATION The Owl is fifty years old. Each organization that celebrates an anniversary is proud of its past. As it grows older the group becomes rich with customs and traditions that its members founded. It becomes an integral part of the needs of the people it serves. The Owl is fifty years old. Within that time, the Owl has become more than a book with students’ pictures. It has become a record of students’ lives in their undergraduate days at the University and a pictorial history of a great University’s growth. This world that the Owl serves is an important world. The people who make up this world, both students and faculty, should Ik- given more than words and lectures to remember the wonderful days that they spent at the University of which they arc so much a part. The staffs that have worked on the yearbook have tried to meet this need by producing a better Owl each year for University people. To these staffs, we wish to dedicate this edition of the Owl. Everyone, whether editor, adviser, or typist who has built this tradition of the Owl we wish to thank for the heritage given us. In fifty years, the book has grown because of these people. We hope that our book will be a credit to them and a fitting lx ok to end the first fifty years of its history. The Editor 5 ITT THROUGH THE EYES OF THE OWL Pitt this year celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of its yearbook, the Oicl. The years have been eventful with constant change. It is a fitting time for us to look back toward the first decades of this century, seeing what has given stature to our University, but never forgetting that the Class of 1956 will live with today and plan for tomorrow. How docs one chart the history of a great university? Its story, its drama, is elusive and the only truths of the past that exist are the records that have measured our progress. To honor that progress we have chosen to portray its source: the administrators, the faculty, the students who make a school live—no matter what its size—and the buildings, new and old, in which that life of learning is carried on. Throughout its entire history, Pitt has been concerned with growth and expansion. Since the early nineteen-hundreds when the Western University of Pennsylvania chose as its permanent name the University of Pittsburgh, new developments have come into existence quickly. An early plan for the University’s location was the building of a new educational Heinz Chapel 6 ■ ■■«, Cathedral of Learning 7 Acropolis in the Greek style on what is now Pitt’s upper campus. The feeling was that such a plan would take full advantage of the sloping hill and at the same time give an impression of the Classic Age in the clustering together of the various schools. The first building erected on the campus was State Hall, early seat of the Administration, followed within months in 1909 by Thaw Hall, containing the School of Engineering, near the Soldiers’ Memorial. The Dental School became an integral part of the University in 1905, moving into its present building on O’Hara Street in October, 1912, the year of Pitt’s 125th anniversary; later the Dental Clinic, the Dental Annex, and the upper Dental School were erected. United with the University since 1890, the School of Pharmacy located its building farther downtown in 1902. The school remained somewhat independent from the University proper but finally merged with Pitt in January of 1918 on the seventieth anniversary of the founding of a school of pharmacy in Pittsburgh, the practice of which actually began in the days when Pittsburgh was the last outjjost to the West. Home for the profession of medicine has been located in Pennsylvania Hall ever since its dedication in January of 1911. In this building also are the related medical library, classrooms, and laboratories. Then in 1912 the Allegheny Observatory was completed in Riverview Park, replacing an earlier observatory which was pioneered under the direction of Dr. Samuel P. Langley, early inventor in aviation. The new and soon important observatory grew out of the efforts of Dr. John A. Brashear, acting chancellor from 1901 to 1904— a man who “loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.” Bigelow Entrance Nurses Residence 9 Thaw Hall The next important addition to the upper campus on the hill was Alumni Hall with its winter ground-breaking in January, 19 20. The cornerstone was placed in June of the same year, and its doors opened to students on March 31, 1921. During that year Dr. John G. Bowman started his term as chancellor with a vision of even greater advancement for our University—it was to be a lasting advance, upward, always outward, and yet close to the life of Pittsburgh. He dreamed of not only a monument to the city of Pittsburgh itself, which Alumni Hall Western Psychiatric Hospital had a log-hewn academy before the .signing of the Constitution, but of a treasury for learning where the youth of Pittsburgh could find, grown out of the early struggles of creative and energetic Pittsburghers, new courage, imagination, adaptability—new spiritual and mental power. The Cathedral of Learning, as the new edifice and symbol of the University became known throughout the world, was built tall, not merely because height meant less material expense, but because it expressed the infinite, the unlimited span of knowledge and education possible within its walls. Medalion Room . Its beauty and massiveness, combined with form and order, made a tribute to the character of Pittsburgh which would attempt to show the city’s values. This dramatic approach excited the emotions of many thousands of Pittsburghers, adults, and school children alike, who contributed in 1926 the funds they could give, fully approving the ideas that the building was designed to advance. Heinz Chapel Engineering Hall Schcnley Room The Cathedral was dedicated to the youth of Pittsburgh iu 1937, exactly 150 years after the founding of that first rustic cabin. It was then that the symbol of the candle of enlightenment—carried to this day in the University’s seal—was originated. The next two years saw two beautiful additions to the Gothic Cathedral’s impressiveness: the Stephen Foster Memorial, built in 1937 in appreciation of that native Pittsburgher’s contribution to the music of our country, and in the spring of 1938, Heinz Chapel, a perfect example of Western man’s dedication to strength in faith and wisdom in meditation. In the University’s athletic history, the charter of Pitt Stadium, built near Pennsylvania Ilall, was approved in 1924, and the huge bowl soon rang to cheers of Pitt victories during the “Jock Sutherland Era.” It is important to Panther strength at present as well as being used for several civic events throughout the year. With a record for good, skillful playing in past sports, the University completed December 15, 1951, the Memorial Field House, a $1,500,000 building with an indoor field, ball courts, and gymnasia to promote future athletic successes. 13 Pharmacy School Pennsylvania Hall In Pitt’s awareness of the general public need for better mental health, it has leaned heavily on the experts and technicians of the Western Psychiatric Hospital, also on the upper campus, which was built in 1941 and presented to the University by the governor of the Commonwealth in 1949 to maintain its original purpose of aiding those district citizens in need of mental therapy. It is a testing laboratory not only for graduates and undergraduates, but for the whole community. Pitt Stadium Most recently completed structures on the Pitt campus of interest to undergraduates are the Nurses Residence, finished in May, 1953, and the new seven-floor Engineering Ilall which came into existence in October, 1955. More is to come, we know. That is progress. And today becomes the past with all its meanings, all its mysteries. But the memories that remain—the frenzied days, the studies, the reflections, all the intensities of life in this University are set down here. This book does not attempt to recapture the past, but to show, through the eyes of the Owl that have seen Pitt students for a half century, how our senior year moved forward from event to event and how we lived it. Pitt Memorial Field House 15 Some had to ponder over schedules . . . Others became angry when they didn’t receive the right class . . . A YEAR AT PITT THROUGH THE EYES OF THE OWL Selecting the highlights of a year is a difficult task. An editor must sift the important happenings from the trivial occurrences; the interesting events from the uninteresting incidents. What events are meaningful to some may he of no importance to others. How is it possible to pick out these features? The best way is to watch the students; their expressions, happy or indifferent; their enthusiasm over the different events. These people called students are the l est judges. Nobody liked registration. It was a gruelling race to obtain class cards, fill out forms, and pay tuition. The seniors moaned but the fact that only spring registration was left cheered them. Bewildered. the freshman plodded through it. The student body deluged the faculty and advisors with questions concerning classes, tuition, and credits needed for graduation. They answered with smiles, chuckling comments, and sometimes blushingly with. “I just don’t know.” Still others were completely confused. When registration finally ended and the figures were totaled, over eight thousand two hundred undergraduates and professional school students registered. The students and the faculty sat back to wait for classes while the Registrar's office begun worrying about where they were going to fit the increased enrollment. Students were back— ready for fun, for cheering and. yes, for studying. But I got to have that class card! Even the faculty had to worry about class cards. This freshman had to stand; there was no place to sit. With the tuition payment, registration ended. Hut what the heck! They still liad fun. It was wetter at Camp Kon-O-Kwee. It was wet when they left. But even with registration, some of the freshmen did receive a chance to enjoy themselves. Under the sponsorship of the YMCA, a group of freshmen, camp counselors and upperclassmen drove in buses to Camp Kon-O-Kwee. The freshmen were looking forward to the short vacation but the weatherman wasn’t cooperative—it rained the entire trip. In spite of the rain, the boys had a good time. They had a chance to learn some of the school songs, meet many of their fellow students, and become acquainted with the cheers for the first football game. And it rained and rained and rained. What do you mean, ‘Yea California!’ Pitt is our team!” When Pitt played its first game, the students flocked to the stadium. It was one of the very few times that the football season started before registration. Pitt students wanted to catch a glimpse of their team under the tutorship of a new coach-—Johnny Michcloscn. The weather was warm and the team was hot. As the sultry weather sent shirt sleeves rolling tip and the sweat pouring down, Pitt trampled a comparatively soft California team 27-7. Pitt had begun its season with a strong showing. The students yelled and cheered. From the press box, the reporters fingered their typewriters and clicked out stories that Pitt was returning to the “big times” and that this was the year for a winning season. “There lie goes again. That makes it twenty seven points.' The day was hot. WWill Got tluit pig, brother! Then came Homecoming and along with it Greek Week. During the week long celebration, the fraternities and sororities put on a great show for the alumni. The first big event was “Festival of Fun. All types of games ranging from a frog race to a three-legged basketball game had the onlookers howling at the antics of the participants. Hut while many of the Greeks were participating in the games, others were building the house fronts that issued a welcome to the alumni. 44 One strike! Two strikes Three strikes . . . and out! Some people . . . Really worked ... Themselves up . . . Pitt in the doghouse. The next night the Greeks held Stunt Night. Each Greek organization put on a skit dealing with Walt Disney characters. They had great fun with their theme of “Disneyland,” more fun perhaps than the j� eople that watched them. They enjoyed portraying the comical little people of Disney’s fantasies. Even though all of the groups did not win prizes for their jjerformances, they won greater prizes in the laughs and cheers that they received. Into a lather. And laughed . . . And cheered . . . Prince Charming came to “Snow White. On Saturday of Homecoming week, the Miami “Hurricanes” came to town and ruined the day for the team, students, and the alumni by roaring over the Panthers 21-7. A float parade rolled around the field before the game but Old Man Rain sprayed the field with occasional cloud bursts and played havoc with the brightly colored floats. The Old Man had a soft spot in his heart, though, for just as Eleanor Leslie was crowned Homecoming Queen, the rain stopped and the sun came out—for a few minutes. (over) But Pitt lost. 24 Trophies for the best. University Organist l'rcdcric Lotz played at the Reception. Student aides welcomed the parents. Chancellor Nutting spoke . . . As the November winds and cold closed around the Cathedral, a warm reception took place in the Commons Room. Acting Chancellor Nutting invited the parents of the freshman to the annual reception for them. Upperclassmen acted as aides and guides for the event. The Acting Chancellor welcomed the parents to the University and spoke to them on the importance of education in this modern world, lie also spoke on what the freshman could expect through his four years at Pitt. Afterwards he met the parents and talked with them concerning their interests and problems. 25 And met the parents. (over) Member of the cast of The Madvoman of ChaiUot. waits backstage for cue. September and October had come and gone. November brought with it dropping temperatures and icy winds that sent Pitt students scurrying indoors. The logs in the fireplaces of the Commons Hoorn burned brightly. Hut with it, November brought Beaux Arts Day, sponsored by the Women’s Speech Association. Beaux Arts Day is dedicated to the muses of music, dancing, oral reading, theatre, ] ainting, or cartooning. It is truly an ars pro artis” day. It is dedicated as well to the appreciation of art which surrounds the Pitt student in everyday life, especially at the University. This year the annual Beaux Arts show was presented on the stage of Foster Memorial, following the theme of Peanuts Comes To Pitt.” The comical little characters of Hank Schultz’s Peanuts Lucy, Schroeder, and Linus- made a pleasing impression on the audience. All types of songs from the early American Spin, Spin, My Darling Daughter to the English Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes were offered and sung by the Women’s Choral and Varsity Quartet. The International Dance Group presented a Scottish dance called the “Triple Sword Dance.” Finally to end the day, Mr. McIIalc and his Pitt Players gave a preview of their next play, The Madiroman of Chaillot.” The ‘Triple Sword Dance was performed ns part of the Beaux Arts program.

Myrna Granowitz, the Jester, reads the letter from the student hotly wishing the l’antliers a Sugar Howl victory. As the churches surrounding I’itt began to chime in the holiday season, Pitt’s rooms, halls, and offices became a part of the festive Christinas spirit. The Commons Room with its majestic beauty was filled with the scent of pine and balsam. Trees filled with gayly colored lights lined the Gothic walls. In the fireplaces, the logs burned with a warm cheery glow. Around these fireplaces, the students clustered to discuss their plans for the coining vacation. Before the students left for their holiday recess, they enjoyed a Christinas party in the Commons Room. With jesters leading him, Santa Claus made a personal appear-ance at Pitt. The students laughed, cheered, and waved as the friendly old man made his way to the platform. From his pack, the white-whiskered gentleman pulled a box and gave it to Steve Petro, the representative from the football coaching staff. It contained a sugar bowl. The students cheered and wished the team luck before embarking on its journey to the New Orleans “Sugar Bowl. But this party was not only for the student body: it was also for a group of children from a local orphanage. Their smiles were enough thanks for the pleasure and excitement that they had experienced. Finally, the students grouped close to the platform and joined in a community singing of carols. Children from :i nearby orphanage attended the Commons Hoorn Christmas Party. The students joined in the singing of carols following the Christmas Party program. The big clay in the hearts of many alumni and students had arrived: January second, the day of the Sugar Bowl game. Though Pitt lost a tight defensive game, the people of the South found the Northerners to be a personable group. The Pittites distinguished themselves as being completely friendly before, during, and after the game. The fans enjoyed their stay in New Orleans. The cathedrals, the intricate architectural features of the French Quarter, and the wide expanse of the Mississippi River fascinated them. In the evening, the Pittsburghers made their rounds ol such nightspots as the Famous Door, the Absintlu House, and Pat O’Brien’s. The fans would re member their trip to New Orleans for a long time Tired and happy, the people began their jour ncy back to Pittsburgh.

From the upper floors of the Cathedral. Heinz Chapel appeared tranquil amidst the snow-covered campus buildings. With the passing of nineteen fifty-five into history, the new year brought, with it one of the semester’s largest snow falls. The temperatures that had stayed above thirty degrees (hiring most of the old year soon dropped to eight or nine degrees. Colds and coughs began to plague the students. Many of the people began to walk around the campus with shiny red noses betraying signs that one of the flu “bugs” had bitten them. But the snow and cold weather were sources of fun to many of the students. Unlike many others who stayed indoors, some students had snowball battles, took walks around the campus, or just went out to enjoy a few minutes of the brisk air. 29 Students congregated in the libraries to study. Finally, the semester came to an end. For many, the end of the semester was a happy time; for others, it meant exams and study. This was the last chance for some people to finish long ignored term papers and book reports. Semester fun was over; it was time for sitting down and looking over a semester’s work. For those who had not kept up with their work, it meant going through all their books and learning; for those who had taken comprehensive notes and attended all classes, it was merely a matter of reviewing the material. The libraries were filled with students attempting to cram as much knowledge as possible l efore their exams. The fraternity and sorority houses were quiet. The usually noisy Tuck Shop and cafeteria lost their loud and laughing voices as the people began to study while they ate. Although most of the students looked upon the professors and instructors as tyrants, the faculty had their share of troubles, too. They had to correct the papers and make certain that deserved grades were registered. Some had to catch up on their required readings. Others were able to concentrate in the Tuck Shop. Lecture notes were scanned. They worked quickly to complete their answers. After the exam was over, they pondered the outcome. After the many hours of study, students were finally confronted with the examination. The rusliee had luncheon dates . . . . . . She attended parties . . . The new semester began with new classes, new books, new activities, and, for the girls, the opportunity to join sororities. At Pitt, a freshman girl may not be pledged until after her first semester. This gives the prospective rushces and the sororities a chance to meet each other Lhrough informal luncheon-dates. As February with its formal rushing period began, the rushces were deluged with offers of luncheon-dates and prospects of coming sorority parties. The groups sent invitations to the girls that they had met and were considering for membership. During this period, the element of surprise and suspense was great. The rushec waited for her invitations and the groups waited to see which rushces would attend their parties. When the invitations were accepted, the first round of parties began. On Saturday of rushing week, the sororities prepared their bids and formal rush ended. On the following Monday, the former luncheon-dates picked up their bids and became pledges. , .. And met the members. Finally, Jackie It ice became a pledge. She waited in line to pick up her bid. 32 The (lice Club sang selections at the reception for the new chancellor. Pitt’s future was publicly charted on February 2!), when Chancellor Edward H. Litchfield made his first appearance before the alumni and faculty, speaking to the Century Club at the Hotel Webster Hall. His message was televised over WQED. The gist of the carefully delivered speech was that: “It is high time that this country had another great University to compete with those which have so long dominated our thinking.” The Chancellor was convinced that such could be accomplished at Pitt. He stated, “We must begin to put flesh on this idea of distinctive structure by drawing students and finances from all parts of the world and by increasing emphasis on the quality of the University.” Concluding on a high note. Dr. Litchfield added, In any event, I can promise you a thrilling time in what can be one of the greatest experiments in higher education in this century.” Eleanor Leslie, Homecoming Queen, and Miss Stella Stein, first Pitt eoed, attended. It is high time . . . . . . that this country had . . . . . . another great University. . . .“ 33 'Education for Living was discussed and . . . . . Chaplain Luccock listened intently to . . . Some 44 speakers, including 10 out-of-town theologians, influenced the whole campus in early March. This year Keligion-in-Lifc Week got off to an interesting start when the University family met for the annual convocation in the Commons Room. Dr. Edwin I . Booth, from Boston University, was the main speaker; the preceding night he delivered a lecture to the Pitcairn-Crabbe Foundation on “Moral Values and the Study of Biography.” At the convocation he was introduced by Dr. C. Stanton Crawford, dean of the College, and spoke on “Yours—An Education for Living.” Greatly enlarged this year, the Religion-in-Life Committee scheduled 25 events which were open to everyone interested. Meetings with such topics as Does the Educated Person Need Religion?” and “Ideas in Drama,” staged by speech students, found ready and enthusiastic support. . . . Dr. Edwin P. Booth. Dr. DeVitis spoke with a more intimate group. The plaque dedicating the Cathedral to Dr. Bowman was unveiled. IMF. TRUSTEES OF-THF. UNIVERSITY of PITTSBURGH DEDICATE THIS BUILDINC TO JOHN GABBERT BOWMAN CHANCELLOR 1921-1946 MAY THE BUILDING FOR CE A SYMBOL OF II A SIGN OF HI IH AT-WILL FIN MOMENTS OF H Dr. Bowman expressed his gratitude for the honor . . . This year, thirty years after the groundbreaking, the Cathedral of Learning of the University of Pittsburgh was dedicated to the abilities and genius of the building’s originator. President Ilonorarius John G. Bowman. The informal ceremonies were held in the Commons Boom in early March: members of the Board of Trustees paid homage to Dr. Bowman when they unveiled a plaque which had been built into the wall near the Fifth Avenue fireplace. The tablet expresses the hope that the Cathedral of Learning may stand for centuries and be a sign of faith to youth. Following the presentation, a banquet was held in the Hngiish Room where Chancellor Edward II. Litchfield s| oke before the officials and their guests. Dr. Bowman first conceived the idea of a skyscraper university in a metropolitan environment and saw the first students move into the building in 1937. . . . And the audience expressed its appreciation for his guidance. The “grand old man of Pitt listens to the tributes being paid him. 35 St. Patrick came rolling down the avenue . . . St. Patrick threw .shamrocks and the students fought to catch them. . . . Pulled into his private parking place . . . . . . And was greeted l y General Ridgeway, Dean Fittcrcr. ami City Solicitor MeKeenn. The March winds roared, but the engineering students roared louder as they began their celebration of Engineers’ Week, March 12-16. The “boys from up. on the hill” rolled down to the Cathedral for the appearance of their patron, St. Patrick. Three years ago, the engineering students named St. Pat as their patron because when he drove the snakes out of Ireland, he became an engineer by inventing the first “worm drive.” This year St. Pat arrived in a tank and was greeted by the students with cheers, shouts, and display signs of their departments. General Matthew Ridgway, Dean Fitterer, and city solicitor McKenna were waiting to greet him as he stepped from his vehicle. St. Patrick had gifts of shillelaghs, shamrocks, and property in Ireland for the three dignitaries. The day was filled with much laughter but with the best laugh going to General Ridgwav—he turned the tables and gave St. Patrick a shillelagh. 36 It was a great day for the Irish and the engineer.

After thirteen years Dr. Nutting leaves Pitt this July to assume Directorship of the Buhl Foundation. He will be missed by many. ACTING CHANCELLOR NUTTING 44 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHANCELLOR’S OFFICE Those who manage and work in universities sometimes forget why they are there. A university does not exist for the sake of its size or its wealth or its buildings. It exists for its students. Physical surroundings are important only to the extent that they contribute to an environment in which young men and women, together with those who teach, can develop the best that is in them, buildings may be the bones of an institution, but people give it life and color and meaning. Thus, to be great, a university must l e human. It must have concern not only for things, but also for mind and heart and spirit. It must preserve the lessons of the past and make them relevant to the present. It must look to the future without fear. It must stand staunchly for integrity. In a world too often preoccupied with transient and trivial affairs it must concern itself with eternal truth. These things can be accomplished only if students and faculty believe in them; only in an atmosphere of sympathy and understanding. In my years at Pitt I have sensed this belief. I have felt this atmosphere. As the University moves on into a new era may it continue to stand for things that count. May the students who leave its walls carry with them the lasting virtues that will make their lives worth while. VICE CHANCELLOR MOORE Entering his third year at Pitt, Vice Chancellor of public health professions, Dr. Robert A. Moore is at home with his multiple duties at his Falk Clinic office. The former pathology professor and dean of medicine at Washington University, St. Louis, is also awaiting the third edition of his 425,000 word pathology textbook to be published this summer. Attempting to keep up with developments, he subscribes to thirty-five medical journals. Born in Chicago and an Ohio State University graduate, he took his Ph.I). at Western Reserve University shortly after his degree in medicine. He docs not feel too many students apply for Pitt medical school since approximately one out of two is placed. A world traveler, he toured Europe with his family last summer. PRESIDENT HONORARIUS BOWMAN One of the most forceful men in the history of the University of Pittsburgh is President Honorarius John G. Bowman—the man who as chancellor from 1921 to 1945 conceived the idea and erected the Cathedral of Learning. Dr. Bowman’s list of positions and accomplishments is legion: chancellor of two universities, trustee consultant on hospital boards, trustee of the Frick Educational Commission, vice-chairman of the board of Mellon Institute, as well as the recipient of many honors from here and abroad, lie has also written many books, among them The World That Was. At present Dr. Bowman lives in retirement at Bedford, Pa., sending his time writing and working at his hobby of ceramics— among the memories of a fascinating career. CHANCELLOR EMERITUS FITZGERALD Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh for ten years Dr. Rufus II. Fitzgerald, presently Chancellor Emeritus, led Pitt through its early age of expansion in the Oakland district. Renounced for his managerial abilities at the State University of Iowa, Dr. Fitzgerald came to Pitt in 1938 at the behest of Dr. Bowman, then chancellor. Assuming the role of chancellor in 1946, Dr. Fitzgerald initiated many far-reaching advances for the University. Since his retirement, he has continued his intense and vital interest in the educational system in the United States by heading the Executive Committee for Exchange Students, a post he took on in his last year at Pitt at the wish of the President of the United States. His life at present is divided between his home in Pittsburgh and his duties in Washington, I). C. REGISTRAR QUICK Dr. J. G. Quick, registrar of the University, has been serving in Pitt’s extension division and as secretary of school relations since he got his diploma at Pitt in 1913. He was appointed to the position of registrar three years later. A resident of Edgewood most of his life. Dr. Quick is a member of the local school board, a trustee of his church, and treasurer of its building fund. At Pitt he is on the athletic committee, foreign student committee, and the deans’ council; he also heads the faculty Community Chest drive. One of his favorite jobs is bestowing honor scholarships to high school students. Along with tins, he likes to show some 16,342 slides which he calls the “University of Pittsburgh Scene.” DEAN JONES DEAN BIDDLE Theodore Y. Biddle, dean of men at the University of Pittsburgh, lias been interested in the affairs of Pitt students through the dean of men’s staff since he graduated from Pitt in 1929. From that time till 1941 he was assistant to the dean of men; Mr. Biddle has been full dean since June of 1942—he has spent over 25 years with the men’s program at Pitt. In that time he has gained much knowledge about just how the college mind works, be it in high-minded pursuits such as Tap Day, or the confusion of a student raid on another college campus, lie feels students are better today than when he graduated. This is because Pitt is admitting better students: freshmen are better trained and more reasonable than those of the Twenties. A sign of their maturity is the growth of student marriages, almost unheard of then. CHAPLAIN LUCCOCK Chaplain Emory W. Luccock was born in Bloomington, Indiana, and received his A.B. at Wabash College in 1916, his I).l). in 1932, after attending various seminaries. Ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1921, Dr. Luccock was director of a community center in Siangtan, China from 1922 to 1925, and the American community church in Shanghai until 1938. Back in the U. S. he served in many churches throughout the Midwest, coming to Pitt in 1953. lie is amazed at the cooperation he has received as first fulltime chaplain from the student and faculty. After building the loan library in his office with the best books I can find on religion and education for college students,” and maintaining his friendship with students, the Chaplain feels he is finding out how to do his job better. 47 Dr. Putnam F. Jones was born in Amsterdam, New York, and earned his degrees at Cornell University. lie became assistant professor of English at Pitt in 1927. lie has been a full professor since 1946, and was head of the English Department until he assumed his duties as associate dean of the College, as well as acting dean of the Graduate School. In this complicated world, Dr. Jones believes that students should develop their potential as human beings; technical and earning skills stem directly from that. As one of the founders of Pitt’s Core Curriculum program. Dr. Jones finds that students are not as well prepared in math and English as they should be. He also thinks literature is necessary for the fuller enjoyment of life. Besides reading, I)r. Jones finds relaxation fishing off Bass Island near Sandusky, Ohio. DEAN RUSH Pitt’s Dean of Women, Miss Helen P. Rush states: Pitt women are more independent than formerly, and awareness is a good thing. It used to be that it was considered a virtue to be unaware of the world—at least women were cx| cctcd to be. That is not true any longer. The story today is interaction and change. And I’m all for it.” Along with woman’s changing outlook has been the growth of the women’s program at Pitt under Dean Rush’s leadership. She feels that the emphasis in a woman’s college education should be placed on meaningfulness and a good philosophy to live by. This may be accomplished by supporting and strengthening the intellectual standard of achievement. Like Dean Biddle, Dean Rush became dean in 1942, having graduated from Pitt and spent her apprenticeship” on the former dean of women’s staff. Pauline Markess OWL HALL OF FAME Albert Boll Daniel Levitt Karl Egerman Nancy Jones Shirley Ritz After a period of four years, the student who has taken an active interest in his University has found that student life is more than a combination of books, studies, and buildings. The senior who channelled his energy into the different aspects of campus activities has discovered the values to be attained through learning how to enjoy, help, and work with other people. The Owl Hall of Fame Committee, composed of six junior men and six junior women, had watched the seniors in their activities. From their observations, the juniors selected those seniors whom they felt to have left a lasting impression in the minds of the student body. The Owl accepts and honors the committee’s selections. On these pages, the Owl presents the outstanding seniors in its Hall of Fame. Elizabeth Ann Young Donald Gartner Joseph Banik Calliope Papandreas Beatrice Pellegrino Chester Zukowski OWL HALL OF FAME Nicola Sirianni Emma Urbanek 50 Ronald Amalong OWL HALL OF FAME Milton Emery Jane Wright 51 John McLeister MR. PITT Nicola Sirianni Each year, the Owl selects a man and a woman from the graduating class as Mr. and Miss Pitt. These two students typify the ideals that a student may develop who finds a keen interest in working for and with his school and fellow classmates. Four years have ended. Four years in which time we seniors have learned much about different subjects, various activities, and the significance of true friendship. During this time the University has not only given us an academic education but a social education as well. To be a part of Pitt is a challenge to every student. Many students seldom find an opportunity to become an integral part of campus life because of studies, outside 52 MISS PITT Beatrice Pellegrino work, ami other complications. But those who do grasp the opportunity soon find that Pitt has more to offer them than academic attainment. In years to come, we may lose contact with the University and with the friends we have made, hut we could never forget the great amount of pleasure that both have given us. Of those among us, the Owl has singled out Nicola Sirianni and Beatrice Pellegrino, who through their abilities, interests, and development have shown themselves worthy of the titles Mr. and Miss Pitt. They exemplify what we believe Pitt has attempted to generate in us— personality, leadership, and humanity. 58 OMICRON DELTA KAPPA AWARDEE For his outstanding abilities and leadership in extracurricular activities one senior man is chosen by Gamma Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa for its prized award, Pitt's ODK Man of the Year. Ilis being chosen as the senior student “who best represents the type of individual the I'niversity aims to produce” was the result of careful selection from the most outstanding senior men at Pitt. After each candidate’s popularity had been determined by the number of votes he had received, this information was added to his qualifications of leadership in activities, his scholarship, his character, and his service to the I’niversity. This year the Senior Award Committee, composed of Dean T. W. Biddle, E. A. Batchelder, Col. Y. I). Eister, Dr. H. C. Gorham, and Mr. Robert Dickinson, 1955 ODK Awardee, chose for the honorary award Donald Gartner, whose name, engraved in ODK Walk, will serve as stimulus to his successors. 54 S” AWARDEE Pitt’s “S” Award for seeing, studying, shaking abroad” was given this year to Robert McCabe, a junior in the College. This is the third year that the award has been given; last year’s awardee was Donald Gartner, who s| ent his summer in Southern Germany in the home of a Stuttgart family. Robert, who is an English major, plans to do most of his traveling in England with sidetrips to the many historic literary spot's throughout the British Isles. After he has completed his studies at Oxford, lie plans on venturing to Paris and then to Rome. The S” Award, open to any male junior in the University, is provided for from contributions of Pitt’s fraternities, working hand in hand with the Dean of Men’s office. It is officially sponsored by Interfraternity Council. The awardee is expected to write and talk of his experiences during his last year on campus. 55 NATIONALITY ROOMS AWARDEES Two Nationality Rooms hostesses, Suzanne Roche, Education ’57, and Carolyn Loeffler, College ’57. were awarded this year’s annual scholarships for study in Europe. Miss Loeffler is an English major interested in creative writing. In her application for the award, she indicated a desire to go to Italy because “there is such a concentration of all that is ancient and beautiful in that country.” Miss Roche said that through hostessing in the Nationality Rooms she has become aware of the great contributions to society made by each country in the world,” and that by hostessing in Heinz Chapel she has experienced the “lovely calmness enveloped in the bright colors created by Charles Connick.” The winners, not previously made known until Tap Day, were selected and announced early this year in order to give the women a better opportunity to prepare for their departures in early June. 56 DEAN CRAWFORD Students’ awareness of their responsibilities has never been better is the opinion of Dr. Stanton C. Crawford, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. “They have advanced according with the philosophies of this age which has a totally different emphasis since I graduated from Bethany College,” he states. More and more students are turning to business rather than to the professions as they did in the past. Business, too, is moving toward reviewing and accepting the values gained by a student who has a firm background in the humanities.” Born in Steubenville, Ohio, Dr. Crawford, professor of zoology at Lynehburgh College in Virginia, and at Pitt for fourteen years, became head of the Johnstown Center in 1927. Me has been dean of the College since 1935. Dean Crawford this year was elected to the new position of Dean of Faculties under Dr. Litchfield. Dr. J. S. Taylor Mathematics Prof. W. R.

Raymond Fitterer graduated as a chemical engineer from Rose Polytechnic in 1924, he has pursued a busy life in administrative and technical fields. He became research fellow at Carnegie Tech, working afterwards at the U. S. Bureau of Mines as head of the metallography department. From 1933 to 1938 he headed his Fitterer Pyromctric Co. which he has since sold. By 1951 he was dean of Pitt’s Schools of Engineering and Mines, was a U. S. delegate to the U. N. Economics Commission for Latin America in Bogota, as well as being supervisor to many research boards during and since the war. I)r. Fitterer states that out of 1,000 applicants to Schools of Engineering and Mines this past year, only 450 students were accepted because of incapacity. Three hundred were turned away who could qualify eventually for one of the School’s ten degrees. He has two artistic hobbies: painting and the organ. Prof. W. R. Turkes Prof. N. L. Ruck Prof. R. F.

Masoner, dean of the School of Education, is vitally interested in the problem of recruiting more teachers for Pittsburgh schools. He has made a careful study of the community on this question and stands behind high school F.T.A. groups to stimulate students into wanting teaching for a career. He also makes many speeches to various community groups | er year on education needs. Dr. Masoner does not think the answer is to shorten the study period of teachers to less than four years; to him that is a sure way of lowering teaching prestige. He sees “no daylight yet” in the problem of influencing more students to teach, but he states, “there is more and more interest. Community respect is as important to a teacher as salary.” A teacher’s greatest returns, he feels, will always be fun and satisfaction in the work of influencing young minds. Dean Masoner’s residence is in Bellevue, Pa., where he taught and administered in its schools for many years before coming to the University. 77 Dr. J. C. Craig Elementary Education Dr. G. W.

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEAN LANFEAR Graduate of the University of Texas with Ph.D. from Columbia is Dr. Vincent Y. Lanfear, Dean of the School of Business Administration. His feeling is that students today are promised too much, giving them a “What’s in it for me?” outlook in and after college. When he entered college he considered it the “Promised Land.” “There were far less opportunities for advancement in those days,” the Dean affirms. He advises, “Your j ersonality is the key to most doors. You’re always writing your own recommendation l� v your appearance . . . it’s your psychic income.” His greatest thrill as a teacher is watching a poor student develop. Texas born and Dean of .Men from 1934 to 1941, he also enjoys watching things grow—students most of all. Dean Lanfear accounts it one of the greatest thrills of his profession that he has been able to keep in contact with many business graduates. 84 Dr. H. F. Blackburn Dr. A. M. Woodruff Dr. S. L.

Swanson states that one-half of graduate dentists go into armed service, the rest go into practice and advanced work in oral surgery. Dean Swanson adds that dentists rank third nationally as salaried professionals. Nevertheless there is no overcrowding, but the demand for dentists is in smaller towns with 6,800 populations. Pitt Dental School’s incoming student quota is 96 students per year. Dean Swanson is a professor of histology and bacteriology. Horn at Arroya, Pennsylvania, he earned his B.S. at Pennsylvania State I'niversity in 1915, his D.D.S. at Pitt in 1920, and M.S. in 1980. He taught bacteriology here till 1947, when he became associate dean. At present he is concluding his doctorate dissertation on tooth regeneration. As a happy pastime. Dr. Swanson enjoys the out-of-doors and especially the angler’s art. 91 rwr DENTISTRY I)r. C. F. Brand Anatomy and Operative Dr. R. I. Crumpton Prosthetics Dr. II. C. Metz Orthodontica Dr. J. C.

SCHOOL OF NURSING DEAN KUEHN Dean of the School of Nursing, Ruth Perkins Kuehn’s opinion is that “nursing emphasis is now on human relationships between the patient and the nurse and less on skills. Of course we need both.” Pitt nursing emphasizes nursing service administration, putting attention on patient care for new “nursing practitioners.” Most “menial tasks of old” are handled now almost exclusively by non-professional help in hospitals. Pitt’s School of Nursing graduates over 100 nurses per year. A great need for professional nurses exists. As a result, graduates have little difficulty in finding satisfactory positions. Dean Kuehn was born in Sharon, Wisconsin, and graduated from the school of nursing at the Children’s Memorial Hospital, Chicago. For years she has worked vigorously to improve nursing education. 99 ' J Miss Mildred Disbraw Dr. C. McClure Mrs. G. Bonine Obstetric Chairman, Nursing Pediatric Miss E. Holmquist Dr. E.

Smith, dean of the School of Retailing and professor of retailing at Pitt, received his B.B.A. at Westminster College in 1937, his M.Litt. at Pitt in 1938. Mr. Smith is a native Pittsburgher. lie feels that the businessman has definite responsibilities to the community he serves; the retailer is the student of his age, according to Mr. Smith. Students in retailing are conscious of the cverchanging markets. Distribution and productivity mean little if the product is not sold. Department stores make the perfect laboratories for retailing and its intricacies, states Mr. Smith. There are four associated stores in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Dayton, and Washington, D. C. who hire Pitt retailing students that they might get an overall point of view in their graduate studies. Mr. Smith recently wrote an informative article on retailing for the magazine report Career, the annual guide to business. Prof. II. I). Entenbcrg Retailing Prof. C. I). Huffman Advertising Prof. E.

I’d like to extend our congratulations as you step from senior to alumnus status. This moment, graduation, is one of the high points in your life. The degree that you hold represents an investment. It has taken you four years, a considerable expenditure of energy, and a large amount of money to earn it. What exactly is it worth? Generally speaking, whatever you choose to make it worth. From now on it is you and the way that you employ your degree that will decide just how valuable it is. A diploma is not only the culmination of one investment but the l eginning of another. To the graduate of the class of 1956 I extend an invitation to take an active part in your University’s Alumni Association. Pitt’s General Alumni Association ami the eleven constituent associations are composed of men and women who remember their University affectionately and who work for its best interests. They arc graduates from 1905 to 1955; they may be professionals or A.B. degree graduates. This they have in common: they want to see the University progress, and they arc doing something about it. You recognize this feeling. As an undergraduate you were able to share, through classes and activities, in the creation of an important era in Pitt's history. The activities of the Alumni Association continue the investment you’ve made in Pitt’s future. We of the Association would be glad to hear from you at any time. Again, congratulations and good luck Sincerely, James J. Lee, M.D. President, General Alumni Association ACTIVITIES Practice helps the members of Alpha Omega develop their technique. “Sorry that 1 missed Student Chapel Board meeting today.'

Future education majors will now have a fine resource library, thanks to the research of Alpha Beta Gamma, the professional sorority for junior and senior women in elementary education. Here, the education students, student teachers, and in-service teachers can obtain the available publications and audio-visual aids in their field. Alpha Beta Gamma is a local sorority which was founded at Pitt in 1939 in order to foster cooperation and friendship between students and faculty members. Its social program, to establish unity among elementary education students, included social meetings, general meetings, panel discussions, and a spring banquet. Special events, such as field trips to schools and Carnegie Museum, and pertinent speeches from foreign exchange teachers and the University Placement Bureau, were also arranged. The new initiates pin on their ribbons. Firtt roxc: M. Johnston, J. Powell, R. Barclay, F. Coyle, J. Baron. Second rote: E. Caldwell, J. Fischer, D. Coller, J. Ilny.scl, R. Clarke, R. Carroll, I.

Last year the group arranged for a series of speeches from professional Pittsburgh businessmen. The fraternity also planned tours of industrial plants and showed educational movies. In order to further its main objective—to foster scientific research in the fields of commerce, accounting, and finance—the Alpha Kappa Psis set up a program of business studies for their members. The fraternity s|H nsorcd several social affairs including dances, banquets, and a spring carnival booth. The Delta chapter of Alpha Kappa Psi was founded at Pitt in 1910 for the purpose of promoting business administration in the University. ALPHA KAPPA PSI Pres. Vice Pres. Sec. T reas.

Zweig Harvey Waldholtz Kmanuel Roman L. L. Schwartz Alpha Omega is a national dental fraternity which accepts for membership only those undergraduates with high scholarship, character, leadership, and personality. The objectives of the fraternity arc many: to promote the profession of dentistry, to encourage good spirit and fellowship among its members, to create and bind together a body of professional men, who by scholarly attainments and faithful service have achieved distinction. Among this year’s activities was a barn dance, a freshman smoker, a pledge dinner, an annual senior banquet, and a picnic. Also, the fraternity was host last December at the national Alpha Omega Convention for 1055, held in the William Penn Hotel. The Dental School Interfraternity Scholarship award, in existence for only five years, has been won each consecutive year by the Alpha Omegas.

The aim of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, is to give service to the student body and faculty, to members of any fraternity, and to youth, the community, and the nation as a whole. Any male student who is interested in taking part in such service projects that will benefit the school or the community is eligible for membership. Last year the members of Alpha Phi Omega ushered at Commencement, Tap Day, Scholar’s Day, and Varsity Day. They set up refreshment booths at Spring Carnival and several of the year’s dances, and took a big hand in p roc to ring for exams during the examinations for entering freshmen. Also, in keeping with their code of performing services for charities, members worked at scout camps, ushered for the Rcligion-in-Life convocation, and held Christmas and Easter parties for orphans.

Alpha Zeta Omega, national pharmacy fraternity, evolves around two main purposes. The organization strives to make its members proud of the University of Pittsburgh and to build strong character in individuals. Each year the fraternity encourages scholastic endeavor by presenting awards to the students who have achieved high standing in their class. Among the social activities for the past year was a hay ride and square dance, a Pittsburgh Playhouse affair, and an installation dinner dance. The fraternity also held a forum on pharmaceutical subjects and raised money for their national cultural fund. Last year Alpha Zeta Omega received the Dircctorum Cup for being the most outstanding chapter in the country. ALPHA ZETA OMEGA Pres. Vice Pres. Sec. Treas.

The American Institute of Electrical Engineers is an international professional organization comprised of full-time electrical engineering students. The organization broadens the student’s acquaintance with the engineering world and fosters qualities needed by the engineer which are not fully cultivated while in school. It also gives the student an opportunity to strengthen his social, technical, and literary bonds with his fellow classmates, instructors, and graduate engineers. Several group inspection trips to factories were on the agenda last year. Hv showing the student the newest developments in the industry, the organization helps him to better understand his field. Lust year also the Institute entered its newspaper in the annual newspaper contest, com| eting with entries from all over the country. A.I.E.E.

The objective of the Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps is to offer select cadets commissions in the U. S. Air Force. Of almost equal importance is the offering of knowledge in air age citizenship to those students. Air Force R.O.T.C. offers many activities.

WOMEN’S FRESHMAN COUNCIL A few of the freshman girls discuss their first days in Pitt. The Women’s Freshman Class’ activities were planned and coordinated through the Freshman Council. In all, the group totalled thirty-eight women and was made up of two representatives from each Freshman Seminar. In March the freshmen held their first class dinner on the twelfth floor, and they adopted their by-laws. Later in the year they held a class party to become better acquainted. The girls also did committee work for the Rcligion-In-Life campaign. Last year, the freshman women joined the men in cosponsoring their second annual dance, the “Superstition Ball,” in the foyer of the Carnegie Music Hall.

Together with Pitt coeds the men decided what present would best help the institution. The Senior Men’s Class also investigated the possibility of handling the sale of class rings in hopes of considerably reducing their cost to the student. The Men’s Junior Class, including four undergraduate schools like its senior counterpart, investigated this year the possibility of merging the Spring Commons Room Hall with the Spring Festival Dance. They also aided the other officers in revising the constitution governing officers of the men’s classes.

MEN’S SOPHOMORE FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS Four of the Freshman Class officers review the minutes of the previous meeting. Officers of each school elect two officers to represent the members of the Sophomore and Freshman Classes. These overall officers arc the chairman and recorder for these classes as a whole. They conduct meetings four times a year. The Sophomore Men’s Class, working with the Woman’s Sophomore Class was partially responsible for the planning and eventual success of the Kick-Off Dance held in the Field House in September. The Freshman Class had a delightful evening at their Superstition Ball in Carnegie Music Hall in January-they haunted up quite a crowd. While the dance had the best prospective intentions, the approaching final examinations week seriously cut into the monetary success of the event.

The Ilillel Foundation, a Jewish organization at the University, provided a well-balanced program for the spiritual and temporal welfare of its members. It channelled its activities to meet its purposes of developing in the Jewish student a better understanding and appreciation of his faith. Ilillel sponsored open dances, dinners, and religious celebrations that corresponded to the various Jewish holidays. The annual holiday affair for children from underprivileged homes gave Ilillel members a more enjoyable and purposeful vacation. Ilillel also had informal gatherings for its members and sponsored a religious service every Friday afternoon conducted by a different fraternity or sorority each week. Members give cnreful attention to current business. Fir 1 rote: W. Zollrod. J. Ilirsch, li. Ueingold, I,. Pikovsky, B. Chan, B. Yolnck. Second rote: B. Dolan, M. Gordon, S. Blucstonc, A. I-elx-au, A.

The Newman Club is a national Roman Catholic organization aimed at strengthening the spiritual and temporal lives of its members. The organization presents a program of religious, cultural, and social activities, but the emphasis is on functions concerned with the church. The headquarters on Craig Street is the center of the group’s activities. They sponsor Communion breakfasts, religious discussion groups, retreats, and a Christmas party for orphans. The Newman Club also supports Catholic missions. During the fifth hour every Wednesday, a noncredit religion and theology course is held which is open to all students.

Luccock. See what you think of them.' Two years ago Pi Theta, local pre-theological fraternity, was instituted at the University of Pittsburgh by five interested students. The organization has in this short time grown to over forty members, all of whom plan to enter the ministry and become pastors, priests, or rabbis. The organization tries to develop among its members an appreciation of each other’s faith and an understanding of the problems and opportunities of the ministry. Two of the more important projects of Pi Theta last year were a very active participation in Religion-in-Life Week and a campaign to get more students to attend the University Chapel services held each Wednesday.

The Fellowship aims to deepen and strengthen the spiritual life of students by the study of the Bible, by prayer, and by discussions of current religious trends. For their social functions, The Pitt Christian Fellowship held supper meetings every Friday evening. These meetings were also attended by students from Carnegie Tech, Chatham College, and the Nurses’ Christian Fellowship. The members of Pitt Christian Fellowship held prayer meetings every morning before school and Bible study sessions daily during the fifth hour. PITT CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP Pres. Vice Pres. Sec. Treas.

Ralph Gibson Marcia Mears Joan Danylyk Chaplain Luccock To bring about a greater spiritual emphasis on the University campus is the aim of the Student Chapel Board. The organization works hand in ham! with the Chaplain in planning and organizing the Heinz Chapel Service of Worship and in other matters concerning the Chapel’s use. Members are appointed to serve on the Board for a period of one or two years by all the student religious organizations on campus. Meetings are held on the first Monday of each month. One of the primary purposes of the Board both in the past and at present has been to try to secure a free hour during which all students may lx? free to attend Chapel. The Board also decides on the three charitable organizations which arc to be the recipients of the Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter offerings taken up at the Chapel each year. Board members leave Heinz Chapel after oik of their Monday meeting. 1 iMUil ’ i mum v Officers carefully plan a Wednesday chapel service. 186 The Wesley Fellowship was founded to provide Christian fellowship for students of the Methodist faith at Pitt, Carnegie Tech, and Chatham College through a well-rounded social and worship program. As one of the primary functions of the group, the Fellowship sent delegations of its members to various church organizations throughout the Pittsburgh district to explain their interpretation of the role young people should assume in church life. Wesley Fellowship gives students an opportunity to continue active church work and also acts as a social group. Their motto is “faith, fun, and fellowship.” The organization provides many social activities far its members, sponsoring such events as swimming and bowling parties. WESLEY FELLOWSHIP Pres.

Any student, however, who is interested in working with this Foundation is welcome. Each year the group contributes to such worthy charities as the World Student Christian Federation and the World University Service. During the summer, many members devote their time to work camps both in this country and overseas. I-ast year the Pitt Chapter acted as hosts to the Westminster Foundation from West Virginia University during the Pitt-West Virginia football game. They also enjoyed themselves tremendously while visiting at Penn State where they were the guests of the Penn State Foundation during the annual Pitt-Penn State game on November 19. First row: D.

The purpose of the Young Men’s Christian Association is to promote and maintain among students a sense of responsibility to increase their understanding and practice of the Christian philosophy of life. Any male student who supports this aim is qualified for membership. The organization held monthly association meetings, Bible study discussion groups, inter-collegiate conferences, and a mid-semester retreat. The members also engaged in a lively intramural sports program and the publishing of the Y-NEWSETTE, a monthly newspaper. I ast year an important project of the group was the United Nations Week program. Their honored guest was Gen. Matthew B. Ridgeway. A fall jamboree and a square dance with the YWCA highlighted the social program for the year. Y M C A Pres. V. Pres. Scc.-Treas. Adv.

Last year the members engaged in a “Clothes for Korea” drive, besides making their annual contributions to the Community and Pitt Chests and holding several orphans’ parties. One of the group’s biggest projects has been the cosponsoring of United Nations Week at Pitt. CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION Pres. John Powell V'. Pres. Joan Hockl erg Sec. Elaine Stewart Treas. Thomas Shultz Adv. Rev. M. Smith The Canterbury Association is open to any student interested in the Episcopal faith. As a national organization devoted to fostering a better understanding of the Christian faith and practice, this strong religious group brings a unified intensity of fellowship to the University campus. With a full social calendar, the organization combines with students from Tech, Chatham College, and Duquesne for many of its recreational activities. Among the Association’s various outside activities are their annual Christinas party for underprivileged children and the conducting of religious services in missions throughout the diocese of Pittsburgh.

Richard Cromie Marian Lazzo Mildred Schaefer William Morey The newest and fastest-growing group on campus this year was the Pitt Student Council of Religious Organizations. Like most Pitt organizations, its purposes are manifold. The Council’s purposes are to work wherever possible to promote religious understanding and cooperation, ami to stimulate participation in the development of spiritual, moral, and ethical campus life. And how are these pur|K ses to lx? accomplished? The best way, as interested members saw it, was to have representatives from all religious organizations participate in discussing the programs of these religious-minded students on the Pitt campus.

PUBLICATIONS Thomas Vrana, photo and athletic editor THE 1956 OWL Fifty years ago in 1906, the students, faculty, and administration agreed that it would Ik a good idea to have a yearbook. But after the editor and his staff were chosen, they met with their initial problem: choosing a name for the new publication; the publication that was to remind future alumni of their school. Everyone on the staff had their, favorite name with the result that the publication was in a quandary. Then one smart young lad came up with the poem, “The Owl and the Pussy Cat.” This lad and other smart young lads figured that the “Pussy Cat” was the panther, longtime mascot of the University. Certainly, there was an appropriate place beside the “Pussy Cat for his partner, the Owl. And so, for fifty years, the “Pussy Cat” and the Owl have sailed steadily on, watching Pitt grow and expand. The Owl, itself, has grown from a small lx ok containing only senior pictures to a pictorial history of the University. The tradition which began so many years ago has continued strongly in the 1956 Owl.

Editor Joe Banik and his assistant, Betty Ann Young agreed that “Pitt Through the Eyes of the Owl” was an excellent fifieth anniversary theme. Joe made a series of changes in the book. New features were added and others were enlarged. The fraternity sweetheart section took on a new look and an administration section and an index were added to the book. Joe and Betty Ann combined their efforts with Tom Yrana, the photo editor and color photographer. With the addition of Don Miller, literary editor, the book l egan to take shape. After the semester began, the other section editors began their work, molding their individual section into a cohesive unit. The business manager, Leo Zelkowitz, also began his work early. Leo had the responsibility of making the budget and then directing the rest of the staff in following it. He was often called a Scrooge but the budget balanced. Assisted by Gene Rcinbold and Neal Zwcig, the book was a financial success.

The administration announced that Edward A. Litchfield of Cornell University hail been selected to succeed Chancellor Fitzgerald. In quick succession, banner headlines announced the football team had been invited to play Georgia lech in the New Orleans “Sugar Bowl” and the $8,000,000 purchase of the Schenley Apartments for uses as student-faculty dormitories and the student union. Later, the Pitt News also carried the story of Pitt’s second big purchase, the Schenley Park Hotel for $1,800,000. Again and again, banner headlines flashed important news articles such as acting Chancellor Nutting’s announcement that lie would leave Pitt to head the philanthropic Buhl Foundation. The purchase of the Hubbard Reservation in North Park, the formation of a Council of Religious Organization on the Pitt campus and Dr. Jonas Salk’s receiving the Pittsburgh Man of the Year” award were among the top stories. Editors gather around copy desk to check heads. Irv looks over a news release. 198 Two staff members get the facts for a story. George Fowkes, business manager Deadlines are busy days in the office. Copy editor Rosemary Ray and news editor Ed Bachman surpassed the Pittsburgh papers by obtaining the first press interview with General Matthew B. Ridgway since arriving in Pittsburgh to serve as chairman of Mellon Institute. Vigorous writing by campus editor Gordon Clowney brought to the attention of student and faculty the inadequate civil defense procedures within the University. Editorial policy stressed the need for extra-curricular activities which were purposeful in supplementing academics, rather than those loosely organized groups and “out-dated traditions” which were supported on the basis of “self-preservation.” Under the administration of Irving Rothman and business manager George Fowkes, the Pitt Xeics celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. The Pitt New, again, combined with the Evening Xcics periodically, swelling circulation on such occasions to 12,000 copies. In its head, the Pitt Xeics carries a motto that it believes and constantly strives to follow: One of America’s GREAT Student Newspapers. First Rote: J. Florman, I. Rothman, I)r. D. Swarts. G.

SKYSCRAPER ENGINEER Nicola Sirianni, editor This spring the Skyscraper Engineer completed its fifth year as a college engineering magazine. Since the first issue in May of 1951, the Skyscraper Engineer has grown rapidly and today has a commanding role in the life of the Pitt engineering students. Not only docs the magazine interest students in engineering research, but it also helps to spread the knowledge of Pitt’s engineering activities. In March, the Skyscraper helps initiate Engineering Week in which the engineers promote Saint Patrick as their patron. Aside from the copies that are sold to the students on campus, the Skyscraper Engineer is circulated throughout the world to the alumni, high school students, other colleges, and business men in all fields. All of the articles in the magazine arc not staff pieces, the Skyscraper prints contributions from students in the entire engineering school. During the year, the magazine also helps to promote different affairs throughout the year such as the E. and M. dance and mixer dances for the engineering students.

The Skyscraper Engineer was kept financially stable by the fine efforts of Don Rooney as business manager. Don was assisted by Ed Ellis and advertising manager Tom Tarolli. The success of the magazine is due largely to the hard work and interest of the entire staff. The interest of these staff members in the development of the School of Engineering and Mines is well indicated by their participation in Engineering Week.

It was initiated in the spring of 1955 when a group of publications students banded together to give l’itt its first student magazine since 1952. Three of the six editions were published during the fall semester. These contained features on student activity, sports, prominent Pittites, and fiction. 'flic format of the magazine was changed at the liegin-ning of the spring semester. The first issue contained a feature authored by “Fitzhugh Schcnley,” containing quips l crtaining to Pitt student life. The magazine in succeeding issues accentuated the lighter side of such events as graduation, Tap Day, and Spring Festival, Omnibus was made successful through the efforts of Paul Harrison, editor, Don Miller, associate editor, Art Steinberg, business manager, Irv Popkin, art editor, and other students who served on the editorial and business staffs.

Under the astute editorship of Paul Baumgartner and the business promotion of Rae Schalit, the Capsule became a slick magazine printed in the “offset process” as opposed to its newspaper format of the previous years. The excellent black and white photograph reproductions made the book in its several editions a tiling of lieautv— not to mention the profound and technically interesting articles on the many new advances in the field of pharmacy. Among the pharmacy students the magazine proved to be a boon to flagging interests, since it supplied them with writings on various subjects not covered in their field of training.

The group’s main purpose is to sing at the weekly Chapel service on Wednesdays. They also give concerts in Pittsburgh and elsewhere and present a weekly Sunday television broadcast over KDKA-TV. The organisation’s social calendar was a full one. They held an annual banquet in November, a picnic at the director’s residence in June, a senior tea, and a spring dinner dance sponsored by Mrs. Heinz. Last year the Choir appeared on TV for the first time in a coast-to-coast hookup.

Any man who has an interest in the organization and an amount of singing ability may have an audition with the director. The men practice every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to be able to sing at such important University functions as the Chancellor’s Reception and the Mid-Year Commencement.

While the group tries to further interest in choral work, they succeeded this year in making up a program which was pleasant and varied enough to please the most ear-weary listener. After an interview with the choral director, approved members soon became engrossed in singing in the Chapel. At a spring Chapel concert, they came forth with a brilliant rendition of the famous Gregorian chant “Stabat Mater.” They were accompanied by a stringed quartet. Earlier in the year the group performed at Beaux Arts. They also went on many tours to entertain at veteran’s hospitals, army hospitals, and many civic groups. Besides a picnic in the spring, a workshop for members, and attempts at a choral camp, members of two years were awarded keys for their outstanding work. These members of choral are practicing for their annual Christmas program which they put on for the benefit of the University. Under the direction of Philip KnLseley, the Women's Choral helps to entertain at the Beaux Arts program held at Stephen Foster Memorial. WOMAN’S SPEECH ASSOCIATION Pres. Vice Pres. Sec. Treas.

BALLS OF THE YEAR TIH IE The engineers bunny-hop around West View Danccland’s floor. E M BALL Engineering and Mines Cabinet got off to a high speed start in the social swirl with its Fall Ball, held at West View Park’s Danceland during the first weekend in November. Four hundred couples waltzed, mamboed, and bunny-hopped the whole evening to the razzle-dazzle and swing upbeats of Bill LeRoy and his enthusiastic orchestra. To say the men and their pretty dates had a good time is indeed an understatement. This first of the Cabinet’s social functions reached its climax of the evening when a couple was chosen to receive the special door prizes. The man and woman were presented with an electric shaver and a portable radio, respectively. All in all, every member of the Fall Ball was convinced that this first affair of the year was the best ever. The Skyscraper Engineer group come out of their office for an evening. The engineers wined, dined, and danced. Door prize winners received a portable radio and an electric razor. CHRISTMAS BALL Holly and mistletoe present a romantic atmosphere for the dancing couples. The Commons Room provided the impressive setting for the annual Christmas Ball, one of Pitt’s traditional affairs. Girls in their whispering gowns and men in their formal attire gave an additional elegance to the majestic hall, decked at this time of year with dark green holly and yew. What the atmosphere did not give to this Ball, the season of the holidays did—thus assuring the many couples who attended an experience they would always remember as one of the most exciting in their years as undergraduates. But medieval grandeur was not the only influence felt that night. The air was full of the music of the latest hits, and they mixed nostalgically with the more familiar and time-honored Christmas carols. Yes, the night was a romantic one, the orchestra as smooth as a gold satin slipper. It was just the right touch to put students in the mind for peace on earth. Hright and dark colors flash through the Commons Hoorn. When not dancing, the couples rested near the fireplaces. The William Penn ballroom was barely large enough to hold the large group that attended. INTERFRATERNITY BALL The ballroom of the William Penn Hotel was the colorful background of the Interfraternity Ball, held February first, the last day of the fall semester examinations. Yet, according to the happy faces at the dance, the exams by that night were a thing of the past, and students seemed in a mood to have a little fun between semesters. And they certainly did. The biggest event of the evening was the crowning of the Queen of the I.F. Ball. This year the coveted award went to Eleanor Leslie. Further entertainment was whipped up by the Mellowlarks, who literally stopped all action on the dance floor when they got to singing a little Rock V Roll. Another part of the festive evening was the presentation of the Scholarship Trophy, given to Phi Epsilon Pi for its members’ high grades. The Mcllowlnrks rocked and rolled their way to the popularity of the crowd. Phi Epsilon Pi won the scholarship award. Eleanor Leslie was this year’s I.F. Queen. 224 Hob Darrax and Chris Taylor enjoy the Mexican Hat Dance. Dean Hiddle and the Queen of Hearts dance together. Who was to lx the girl to wear the glass slipper? Who was going to lx- Miss Cinderella? These were the questions and the guesses that flew around campus like scattered Valentines during the few days before Pitt’s annual Heart Hop, held in the Schenley Park Hotel. The night of the dance, all contestants stuck out their feet for the careful scrutiny of the foot-sizing experts, Mr. Theodore W. Biddle, dean of men, and various shoe salesmen who were drafted for this very special job. After much foot work, the experts came up with the perfect fit—Miss Elaine Kalaras. It certainly was a sudden and happy revelation for Elaine, who almost upon the spot was crowned Pitt’s Queen of Hearts. The Dean of Men, playing the role of a gallant Prince Charming, danced the first waltz of an almost endless round that lasted well into the gay February night. The Queen of Hearts, Miss Elaine Kalaras. 225 WHAT IS A SORORITY? To many, a sorority is just a group of girls but ... it is more than that. A sorority is a happy e |)criencc that its girls will remember for a lifetime. Many of the girls themselves look upon a sorority as the inseparable bond that joins one with the other. There are not many places where girls of different backgrounds can say to each other, “We arc one. You can come to me any time and without fear or doubt say, ‘Will you help me?’ ” The pin that a sorority girl wears is an emblem of distinction; it is worn with pride. Whether the group in which she is a member is large or small, she wears their emblem. She is their representative. She tries to the best of her ability to fulfil the aims of her group. Through the years of her undergraduate days, she is a source of cheer to her sisters. She likes her friends, her sorority ami her school.

Other influential Alpha Delta Pis included Lucy Tiberio, WSGA representative for Pan-hcllenic Council, Sandra Johnston, member of debate and women’s speech, and Ann DeGraw, member of Cwens. The group as a whole participated actively in the Greek Week competition. They hammered nails and cut out chicken wire for their front, “Flying High,” and they joined with Sigma Alpha Epsilon in brushing black paint onto their float, “Tar Baby.” They sponsored a black and white formal in December and gave several tea dances during the year.

One week later, the Pitt chapter of Alpha Epsilon Phi combined forces with the Tech chapter for a gala Hallowe’en party. The two also held a dessert bridge together to celebrate their Founders Day. One of the sorority’s most unusual dances was their Barn Dance and they held a spring formal and Seniors’ Day Luncheon as well.

In the fall, they entered the float parade and Stunt Night competition and held bowling parties. They celebrated Christmas with an orphans’ party and a sorority party, and they greeted spring with picnics and a dinner dance. Their main project was supporting the Pine Mountain Settlement School in Harlan County, Kentucky, which has very limited facilities for building and supplies.

Commission, Student Congress, Mortar Board, and Heinz Chapel Choir were only a few organizations in which Chi Os were outstanding. They had a wide variety of social functions which included a faculty tea, a winter house party, a spring formal, and a Founders Day Banquet.

They proved their campus leadership during Greek Week by capturing three first place trophies: for participation, Homecoming front, and a Stunt Night skit, and a third place prize for their float. Individual leadership was ably furnished by Emily English and LaVerne Duntcn, Mortar Hoard members, and Dorothy Tear, head cheerleader. Cultural meetings fitted into the Tri-Delta’s program of broadening their moral and intellectual life. They rounded out this schedule with a Founders Day Banquet, Pine Party, Pansy breakfast, two formal dances, tea dances, a benefit bridge, and a bazaar.

The sorority also placed in the house decoration contest with “Pitt Dwarfs Miami.” Other DZ social activities included a scavenger hunt, a spring formal, a square dance, a picnic, and tea dances. At Christmas, Delta Zeta joined with Theta Chi and entertained deaf children with a lunch and a grab-bag ceremony. Last year the sorority successfully realized its aim: to maintain a high scholastic average on campus and remain active in campus activities. Rosie Laurito was president of the Senior Class, Nancy Parks was recording secretary of WSGA, Mary Yichich was guild chairman, five girls were members of Mortar Board, five were in Heinz Chapel Choir, and many were members of both Quo Vadis and Cwens.

Claudia, whose hometown is Brisbane, Australia, came to Pitt in order to study with Dr. Salk. The scientific bent of many Phi Mus is shown by the number who have been tapped to scientific honoraries in the past. Last year, Jane Paladin was a member of Beta Beta Beta, the biology honorary, which has included Phi Mus for two consecutive years. Science was not the only inclination of this active sorority. Their athletic interests were furthered by several bowling parties, and they enjoyed a variety of dances—from square dances and monthly tea dances to two formals.

The four chapters at this convention joined together in promoting the main aim of the sorority, a feeling of closeness and unity within the group. Throughout the year, the sorority gave lodge parties, tea dances, parents’ teas, and two formats. They entered into the spirit of Greek Week with a menacing house front: “Blacken the Eyes of Miami.” At Christmas, they dressed up dolls and gave them to orphans at the annual “Doll Party.” Theta Phi Alphas center many of their activities around Catholic interests.

It is more than a simple dictionary definition, certainly: the condition or relation of brotherhood —though this is the key to a fraternity’s significance. At Pitt fraternity life complements socially the academic stimulus of the classroom. Fraternity life molds each mem-ber’s character, friendliness, citizenship, and social awareness. These spheres of influence are the fraternity’s testing ground. Here is where the individual member is tested and proved. Through rushing programs, initiations, banquets, and the constructiveness of Help Week, fraternity men show themselves emotionally mature and well enough adjusted to realize that work and fun go together in a fraternity. This fact is im|H rtant to anyone aware of the potentialities that may come from the blending of the two, as shown in each of Pitt’s nineteen social fraternities. The 1932 OWL Annual Publication of THE SENIOR CLASS The University of Pittsburgh Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania DELTA SIGMA PHI This year Delta Sigma Phi continued its growth as a leading fraternity on the Pitt campus. The Omega chapter endeavored to train its men academically, socially, and organizationally. Academically, the Omega chapter had the highest scholarship average of the many Delta Sig chapters throughout the country. Delta Sigma Phi cop|)ed top honors in Greek Week by capturing the first-place participation trophy. They also placed first with their float which depicted a lively “Reluctant Dragon,” and they took the third-place award for their Stunt Night skit. Not only was the fraternity outstanding as a group, but its individual men were highly integrated in school affairs. One of its most prominent members was Dimitri Petro who served as President of Men’s Council. • Officers: Emilio Fastuca, secretary; Frank Puente, president; Jim Foody, vice president; Dick Snyder, treasurer. 262 These Delta Sigs like to look at their trophy collection. miiim OMEGA CHAPTER - First rote: W.

DELTA TAU DELTA Delta Tau Delta, oldest fraternity at Pitt, continued to show strength as the annual fraternal hurdles presented themselves. In fall rushing the Delts put their shoulder to the task, resulting in one of the largest pledge classes they have had in recent years and the largest of any fraternity last fall. Scholastically, they managed to have more students attaining a two-point grade average in proportion to the other fraternities on campus. Improvement-wise the men in MGs sponsored a.$8,000 redecorating and furnishing project on their second floor. They were not out of the limelight as far as social activity goes, either. They held a Kappa-Del t reception for the faculty, an Alumni Dance, a Christmas formal, and the year was climaxed by their big spring weekend at the Summit Hotel.

The pledges copjx'd honors this year by capturing a “Welcome to Morgantown” sign which they prominently displayed at the annual football clash with West Virginia. Bob Sedler commanded respect as Student Congress proxy and was active in Men’s Debate, and Druids. Arnie Silver ably filled the position of student publications comptroller. The KXs held many social affairs, the most outstanding being the Thanksgiving and spring formats. Date parties were held at the house about twice monthly and many stag events were on the calendar.

PHI DELTA THETA When the “Good Ship Phi” docked at its harbor in September, forty-two Phi Dells swarmed out to pirate another great year at Pitt. The first job of seeking new recruits was handled more than successfully with twenty-eight men pledged. In IF events Phi Delta Theta continued to place high. Among other trophies they copped second place for their Stunt Night performance, and third for their Homecoming decorations. Noted for their successful parties, the Phis highlighted the year with Thanksgiving and Christmas banquets accompanied by lots of seasonal cheer, the Miami Triad, and spring formal weekend. w The Phi Delts had many outstanding leaders on campus—Milt Emery, ODK and outstanding athlete, David Pender, president of Druids, Jim Coull, Army cadet colonel, and Terry Clark, freshman college president.

In social activity, politics, and Interfraternity contests, the Phi Kps continually showed up with a great deal of purpose and enthusiasm. Following the example of the Pitt Varsity team. Phi Epsilon Pi came through as an unusually strong contender in IF foothajl last season. When Homecoming rolled around, they bent their aching backs to digging holes and painting figures to win first place for house decorations in fraternity competition and to claim the coveted Alumni Chain for the best decorations on campus. The Phi Eps blasted off their social activity with a Monte Carlo night, costumed for a Monster Rally, and donned tuxes for the highlighted winter formal and the spring formal weekends.

After the fall fraternity rushing, the Fiji’s highlighted their social activity with the gala fall formal. The Phi Gams decorated their house for their annual Fiji Island party. The Orchid party for rushccs and their spring formal were other outstanding events. The Phi Gams were noted for the prowess of some of their members in Varsity athletics. Three of the brothers had tumbled onto the gymnastics team while three others tackled | ositions on the football roster. Joe Fenwick held one of the top scoring positions in Varsity basketball.

From the early fall to the late spring, the PiKAs had a whirl of social activity. Their winter formal, the “Dream Girl Dance,” and a formal weekend in June were j eaks in their social program. Between times the calendar was circled with frequent lodge parties, house dances, and pledge parties. Their aim. “to promote the welfare and development of its members and of the fraternity, led them into many activities at school. They took an active role in IF athletics, Greek Week, and Spring Festival. One of their most active men on campus was John King, president of Interfraternity Council.

PI LAMBDA PHI Uniqueness is a good word to describe the Gamma Sigma Chapter of Pi Lambda Phi, one of the largest fraternities at Pitt. They are the only fraternity at the University which has a complete basketball court. They also have an outdoor patio which was put to good use during the year for their numerous social and group functions. Pi Lam's outstanding men included Leo Zclkowitz, business manager of the Owl, Larry Miller, secretary of Interfraternitv Council, Sheldon Monsein, Maccabean Olympics swimming champ, and Paul Kramer, deputy wing commander in Air Force R.O.T.C. Each year they have participated in a major charitable project. Recently they collected books for the Veterans Hospital. Altogether they gave over 1000 books to the veterans.

They went a long way in promoting a prime aim of their fraternity— “to form a strong bond l ctwcen thousands of college men.” They started sponsoring the “Friday-at-Four” parties. They invited the students of Pitt. Carnegie Tech, Chatham College, M t. Mercy, and Duqucsne to these late afternoon get-togethers. Life at the house of the lions proved to Ik exciting also. They danced their way through many evenings at fraternity parties. The main attractions of the year, however, were the spring formal and the Sweetheart Dance. During the year the SAEs participated in several charitable projects. They held a gala Christmas party for an orphans home and aided the Western Pennsylvania School for the blind.

Though the fraternity held a social event almost every week, the calendar was highlighted by the Miami Triad dance in December and their annual Sweetheart Weekend held in June. Head cheerleader Chet Zukowski was Co-Chairman of Greek Week and a member of Student Congress, ODK, Druids and Men’s Debate. Ron Amalong did an outstanding job as chairman of the newly-formed Block 1 flashcard section. The Pitt Chest campaign was chaired by Ky Kylandcr, who was also active in the YMCA.

Hayrides, formal dances, and informal house parties were held as social functions of the chapter. At their “Carnation Dance,” they named their fraternity sweetheart. Theta Chi supported the IP projects by collecting canned goods and helping the S-Award fund drive. They also held a party for a group of orphans at Christmas. One of their major projects was to redecorate their chapter house.

During the school year the Alpha Phi Alphas gave assistance to the Community Chest, YMCA, and the Home for Aged Colored Women. They had cleaning projects at the Home for the Underprivileged and at Christmas prepared food baskets and sang for this organization. They also took an active part on campus.

PENNSYLVANIA GAMMA CHAPTER SIGMA PHI EPSILON “It’s time for a change” seemed to be the prevailing sentiment around Sigma Phi Epsilon as the new school year rolled around. Pennsylvania Gamma began at a vigorous pace by moving into a new house at 2628 Forbes Street in August. The campaign started with an ambitious remodeling job. After a few weeks, they had completed painting the first two floors, giving a new look to the house. During the remainder of the year they put forth their efforts to converting the basement into a playroom and chapter room. Sigma Phi Epsilon figured high in social activity. During the year they managed to have a party nearly every week including such main r events as the Oriental Ball, several smorgasbords, and the spring formal where they crowned their sweetheart.

Since then they have been actively engaged in rchuilding their fraternity. Their membership is continuing to grow after several semesters of intense rushing. They also are improving and remodeling their house on Mclwood Street, and striving to raise their scholastic attainment. During the past year the Sigma Pis enjoyed a full schedule of social events. Their annual function. the Celler-Dweller party, was a smash hit. Just as successful were the South-Sea Island Parties. The best remembered weekend of the year was the Orchid Ball held in the spring.

Pitt’s whole athletic set-up is beginning to show the results that the department has been striving for. The football and basketball teams both had their best seasons since the late 1930’s. The track, soccer, cross-country, wrestling, swimming—in fact every Panther entry in the field of intercollegiate athletics posted records the University can be proud of. This was no accident.

The last Pitt squad to win this award was the 1937 team, which was quarterbacked by Johnny Michclosen, the present Panther coach. The award committee gave the honor to the Panthers because of “their tremendous improvement in the last half of the season.

Coach Michekwen nervously bites his fingernails as Cal jumps off to an early 7-0 lead. In a manner reminiscent of the brute power tactics of the Sutherland era. the Panthers opened their 1955 season with a 21-7 victory over California's Golden Bears. Using the airlancs only as a last resort. Coach John Michel-osen’s prodigies ripped the California forward wall to shreds. The Blue and Gold picked up 274 yards on the ground while limiting their West Coast opponents to only 29 yards rushing. The Panthers started slow, but once they got rolling it was all over. They spotted the Bears a seven point lead and tied the count just before time ran out in the first half. Sophomore Dick Bowen and senior Bobby Grier each crossed the goal line twice to share scoring honors.

Syracuse Crushed, 22-12; Panthers Rally In Last Half Continuing their winning ways—and their peuehunt for coming from l ehind—the Panthers chalked up their second straight victory of the season 22-12, over the Syracuse Orangemen in rain-drenched Archibald Stadium. The Orangemen completely dominated the first half of play even though they trailed 7-6 at the intermission. The second half proved to be completely reversed, however, as the Blue and Gold came to life to score two touchdowns and a safety while limiting Syracuse to a single consolation score. Pitt’s defensive line played another great game, limiting the opposition to only six yards rushing in the second half and going through its second game without allowing a touchdown on the ground. Corny Sfllvntcrra fires a pass against Oklahoma. Panther Offense Fails; Middies Victors, 21-0 Kevcngc minded Navy handed the Panthers their second straight setback by completely stymieing the local's offense in the process of registering a 21-0 victory. Pitt started out as if they were going to make a runaway out of the game by returning the oj ening kickoff to the Navy four, but lost the ball on downs and from then on it was all Navy. After this early drive the locals never even threatened. The Middies’ line stopped the Panther’s powerful ground game and allowed Salvaterra to get off only one pass, which was intercepted. Time after time the hard charging Navy linemen dropped blue and Gold ball carriers in their own backfield for huge losses. One of the few bright spots for Pitt was the sensational punting of Pill Schmidt, who averaged 42 yards per kick on the muddy field. Oklahoma Humbles Pitt For First Loss, 26-14 Panther gridders learned one thing in losing their first game of the season to the powerful Oklahoma Sooncrs—you can’t spot a team like the Sooncrs 19 points and ! cat them. The locals came close, however, and it appeared that they might win the game until shortly l eforc the end when the Sooners put it on ice with a touchdown that made the score read 26-14. Oklahoma dominated the game, rolling up 357 yards on the ground to somewhat dull the luster of the Panther foreward wall which had allowed less than half that amount of yardage to be gained in the first two games. Quarterback Corny Salvaterra led the Blue and Gold in the offense department, displaying brilliant running form and completing eight out of eighteen passes. Lou Cimarolli hurls himself through a mass of Comhuskers fora touchdown. Corky Cost runs into the anus of a Nebraska tackier after evading another sprawled on the ground. Panthers Return Home; Batter Nebraska, 21-7 Glad to be playing in the stadium for the first time in a month, tlie Panther griddcrs celebrated by downing Nebraska 21-7. As usual, the visitors scored first, but their lead was short lived. The locals had little trouble in running through the Cornhuskers line and scored two quick touchdowns. Pete Xeft, playing at quarterback as a result of a personal shake-up, engineered the Panthers first two scores and played a superb game both on offense and defense. The entire team seemed to respond to the local surroundings and they played more as they had in the beginning of the season. Lou Cimarolli, Corky Cost, and Tom Jenkins, aided by a charged-up offensive line, sparked the Panther’s running attack. 810 Nick Passodclis plows over the goal line for Pitt’s second touchdown against Nebraska. Don Agnfon watches the Duke offense roll. Ix u Cimarolli breaks through the Duke defense for a long gain. Pitt Romps Over Duke For Major Upset, 26-7 Hob Grier shouts encouragement to his mates on the field. Before stunned oddsmakers and a partisan Duke crowd, the Panthers pulled one of the season’s major upsets by dropping the Blue Devils from the ranks of the undefeated, 26-7, to register their fourth triumph of the season. Playing as if they never had read the pre-game re|x rts, the Blue and Gold completely dominated the second half to turn the contest into a rout. Trailing 7-6 at the half, the Michelosen men began to move in the third quarter and put the game out of reach. Corny Salvaterra and Pete Neft, alternating at quarterback, mixed their plays beautifully to completely befuddle the Dixie defenders. Panther end Joe Walton caught two touchdown passes tying a Pitt record in that department, while Neft and Dick Bowen led the ground attack.

Pitt showed once again that it definitely could not get its ground attack operating efficiently on a wet field. The Hurricanes, on the other hand, weren’t hindered by the wet ball at all. They passed and used tricky ball handling plays all afternoon without losing a fumble. In fact, they put on just about the l est display of razzle-dazzle ball handling ever seen in the stadium. The only consolation for the thirty thousand faithful fans who braved the elements was the superb pre-game show prepared for Pitt's homecoming celebration. I.ou Cimarolli is brought down short of a first down by the massive Miami line. Pitt Takes to Airlanes; Upends Virginia, 18-7 Looking ahead to next week’s game with the undefeated Mountaineers almost proved fatal to the Panthers who had to come from behind to squeeze out an 18-7 victory over the Virginia Cavaliers. The Cavaliers, winners in only one of their six previous games, played l ettcr than they had all year, and for a time it appeared that they might pull a stunning upset. However, quartcrlutck Pete Neft and end Joe Walton got together in the last quarter on a couple of pass plays to assure a victory over the stubborn southerners. The victory was the Panthers’ fifth and assured them of doing no worse than breaking even for the season—which would have been the best record the Blue and Gold had posted since the 1952 season.

The Blue and Gold gridders played their finest game of the year in disposing of the awesome Mountics and so impressed officials from several bowl games that a post season appear-ance was virtually assured them. Pete Xeft played a brilliant game at quarterback to continue his “come back” story. The defensive standout was senior end John Paluck, who smashed through the huge Mountie line on numerous occasions to nail Mountaineer ball carriers. West Virginia scored its lone touchdown after time had run out and a mob of people had engulfed the field in one of the most hectic finishes ever seen in the stadium.

Panthers Blank State, 20-0, In Snow; Sugar Bowl Bound Playing flawless football on snow-covered Beaver Field, the 195.5 Panthers gained revenge for three previous Pitt teams by blanking Penn State 20-0. It marked the first time in four years that a Panther crossed the Lion’s goal line. Two seniors, quarterback Pete Neft and halfback Lou Cimarolli, ended their regular college careers in the traditional blaze of glory. Xeft handled and passed the wet ball very well, and Cimarolli gained 70 yards rushing in eleven attempts. The big story of the game was the manner in which Pitt’s hard charging line stopped State’s great Lenny Moore -—holding him to eleven yards in thirteen carries. The convincing win was all the Sugar Bowl committee needed to invite the Panthers to the Sugar Bowl. 316 I-ou Ciinarolli is hit high ami low by State tacklcrs after picking up a first down.

School-spirited Pitt students traveled 1500 miles to New Orleans to cheer the Panthers. Johnny Michclosen s Panther gridders started off the New Year by winning everything except the ball game from a good—and lucky—Georgia Tech team. The Panthers piled up nine more first downs than their Southern opponents and their offensive unit netted 171 more yards on the ground and through the air—but the final score still read 7-0 in favor of the Engineers from Dixie. Over eighty-thousand fans, ineluding fourteen-hundred from Pittsburgh, witnessed one of the most exciting and hardest fought football games in the twenty-two year history of the Sugar Howl. Tech capitalized on a Pitt fumble and an interference penalty to score the games only touchdown early in the first quarter and then concentrated on trying to stop the powerful Panther ground attack. After the Tech score. Corny Salvaterra led the Panthers on a 79 yard drive that was stopped on the Georgia one yard line as the half came to an end.

This year’s record was almost exactly the reverse of last season’s and indicates that the Panthers arc on the way up in the court game. Sparked by the sensational play of their two scoring twins—Bob Lazor and John Riser—the Panthers out-scored such perennially tough teams as Michigan, Virginia. I’tali State, and Vale as well as posting double wins over Carnegie Tech, Westminster, and Penn State. Lazor and Riser, who both averaged over twenty points j er game, were aided by Captain Joe Fenwick, the only senior on the starting quintet, and Julius Pegues and Chuck Hursh, a talented pair of sophomores. Other members of Coach Bob Timmons’ squad who saw plenty of action were Frank Zimmovan—one of only two seniors on the squad—John Lanicvc, Fred Yee, Howard Lester, Eugene Cercone, Barry Brautigam, Phil Kleinian, and Dennis Dorman. Joining the eleven returnees from this season will be the members of Pitt’s freshman squad which drop| cd only three contests during the season. Leading the frosh were a trio of All-State selections—Don Hcnnon, Floyd Simpson, and Dave Sawyer.

The Panthers scored 55 goals while limiting the opposition to only 19 goals in twelve contests, with Duke being the only team to shut-out the locals. Rob Cherry, Jerry Brcsanelli, and Sami Hazou were the leading scorers for the Bemismen while Norm Zanardelli and Mike Culhane, who was out half of the season with injuries, were the defensive bulwarks. Duke, Navy, Penn State, and North Carolina State were the only teams to top the Panthers in their second season of varsity action. All of the other opponents, including Ohio State, Case, Denison, Franklin and Marshall, and Slippery Rock lost by large margins. With losses from graduation not cxi ected to be too heavy, ami with the finest freshmen soccer squad Pitt has had since it resumed the sport, chances for the future look even brighter.

Coach Carl Olson’s harriers did something no other Panther cross-country team has been able to do—win the IC4A championships. This marked a fitting climax for the runners who posted an eight and one record over the season. They beat such powers as Ohio State, Penn State, Army, Manhattan and the star-studded Quantico Marines without much trouble, and bowed only to Villanova by the close margin of 30-27. Captain Arnie Sowell, Pitt’s most renowned athlete, paced the Olsonmen to most of their victories. After a slow start, Sowell regained his form and was virtually unbeatable during the regular season. He finished a close second in a field of over 300 runners in the IC4A’s. Thornton Smith, Wendel Harford, Tom Jessup, Jack Shu-bert, Jim Moore, Dave Freas, Dan Sutter, Perry Jones, Dan O’Connor, and Ed Saunders were the other harriers to compete for the Eastern Champion Panthers this season. Coach Olson’s runners ran their string of consecutive dual-meet victories to twenty, stretching back over three seasons, before losing to Villa-nova. However, they finished the rest of the season undefeated to once again establish their claim of being Pitt’s'most successful representative in the collegiate sports field. fK-rfect form os he doe the jack-knife.

Coach Ben Grady’s proteges posted triumphs over Miami, VMI, Ohio University, Syracuse, Penn, Rutgers, Ixdiigh, and West Virginia. They were defeated by North Carolina State, Colgate, Army, and Navy. Seniors Jim Zurcher, Hank Zentgraf, and Captain Skip Monscin were aided by Lou Durbin, Ed Robson, Tony Tresser, Wame White, Ben Sklar, Bernie Baur, Willis Weiss, Burt Marks, and Milo Fischer in compiling their winning record. Zurcher and Monscin ended their careers by winning gold medals at the Easterns for the third straight year. Zurcher has never been defeated in his specialties—the 240 and 440-yard freestyle events, while Monscin excels in the backstroke.

It eluded them, that is, until this year when they won ten straight meets—four of them by shutouts— and capped this off by winning the Eastern Championships by a narrow margin over Penn State. The season’s final win over the Penn State Lions was especially sweet for the Peervmen. Twice before they had undefeated seasons within their reach only to lose to the Lions in the season’s final meet. Pitt scored 249 points during the campaign while holding the opposition to only 85. Leading the grapplers were Captain Ed DeWitt, who finished his college career undefeated in dual-meet competition. Bill Hidings, Ed Peery, Vic DeFelice, Bob Bubb, Dave Johnson, Don Huff, and Ron Schrif. DeWitt, Huff, and Johnson also captured wins in the Easterns.

Group sports, individual sports, and parties were all organized and carried out enthusiastically. Rack to school problems were relieved by a corn roast and a freshman party. Volleyball games started off the tournaments for the year, followed by basketball and table tennis. Once a month WRA held “Fun for Everyone” nights. A welcome for transfer students and a swimming party were two of WRA’s outstanding programs.

Highlights of the intramural season were the spirited battles for trophies in the touch football and basketball leagues. Pi Kappa Alpha defeated Delta Sigma Delta in the football finals and went on to capture the city championship with a convincing triumph over Duquesne’s entry.

Phone WAtkins 9-1880 357 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 we have been preparing ready-to-serve delicacies to save the time and effort of America's housewives. H. J.

The high temperatures and other severe operating conditions which refractories must withstand in service differ greatly among the various industrial processes. Through research and extensive application experience, Harbison-Walker has developed the kinds of refractories best suited for each specific requirement. From a mere dozen kinds of refractories made available to industry a half century ago, Harbison-Walker now produces more than four score commercial types and classes.

As a lump of clay is mol lc l into a statue or a tiny figurine, an idea or theme is molded and formed into a yearbook. But it is not the work of one man; it is the combination of the entire staff. The members of my staff have put in long hours on the book. From them I have received more titan just the work that I assignor! them. The deadlines would have been much longer and harder if it were not for their friendship and cheer. All I can say is thanks . . . thanks a lot. Selling a yearbook to a student that is constantly handing out money for tuition, books and school supplies is a tough job. Added to this problem is the factor that the book must not lose money. Leo scraped and financed until toward the last deadline, when the book’s budget began to balance. With Gene and Neal as his assistants, the book was a financial success. Betty Ann. my girl Friday, was constantly around the office seeing that the other staff members were cleaning up their assignments. She was a good worker, a classmate, and a buddy. Don spent many hours writing, correcting, and making sure that the copy was the best in any yearbook. Tom, without a doubt, was a most efficient and exacting photographer. Ixniisc effectively handled the honoraries besides making me chuckle a bit with some of her questions. When Eleanor sat down and finished her section, she did a fine job. Muzie came through with a wonderful job handling and helping with three sections. Marilyn, also a triple section editor and worker, did a very good job. Helen ended up with many sore fingers from the amount of copy that she had to type. Judy floundered and fought her way through an entire index of names; a good job for a first year member. Betty, at times, worried me about meeting her deadline, but she met her deadline in her usual good fashion, and kept me in a jovial mood. Lois handled the religious section with charm and came through with a good piece of work. Bob took a lot of good pictures that are a credit to the pages. Circulation and publicity fell on the able shoulders of Howie. Though she ended with glue on her fingers, Lucille did a great job on the classes section. I must also thank and recognize the wonderful help that I received from some of the faculty and Administration: Dean T. W. Biddle, Mrs. Starrett, Mr. Prey, and all my teachers that had to put up with a busy student. To Buffalo, X. Y., I would like to send my thanks for the wonderful and careful help that the staff of Win. .1. Keller Inc. gave me. People like Don Messinger, Mrs. Jewell Gates, and Blair Schrecongost are wonderful people to work with and wonderful public relations for their company. The S. K. Smith Co., of Cleveland, did a very beautiful job creating our covers. I would like to thank Ralph Benz for his many suggestions and information on the design of this book cover. Next to the Owl office is another office that has the words DIRECTOR OF STUDENT PUBLICATIONS on the glass doors. In that office paces not only my adviser but also a man whom I consider a personal friend. Dr. Donald E. Swarts. I would like to thank I . E. for our very fine association. My parents saw very little of their son this year, in fact, only sometimes at breakfast and on weekends. Through the entire year, they never complained about the way I sometimes had to ignore my home life. I am jwrticularly grateful for the constant encouragement which they gave me throughout the year. I must also thank Jeanninc for not complaining when I had a date with the Owl instead of with her. I could go on for pages, thanking people for the help that they have given me this year. To those that I have not named—I would not forget any of you—but I can only say thanks. And so ends the first fifty years of the Owl. I would like to thank the Almighty for having given me this privilege of l eing the anniversary editor. 1 pray that He will watch the Owl and make it increasingly better as Pitt enters the next fifty years.

And so ends the first fifty years of the Owl. But in reality it is just the Inhuming 0f a new era. The Owl has seen three chancellors in office and has tried to capture the brilliance of their accomplishments within its pages. The book has grown and thrived with the “skyscraper” I’ni-versitv. This year, the Owl has only caught a glimpse of the new chancellor and his program. In years to come, the Owl will show the results of the dynamic leadership of Chancellor Litchfield. We know that our alma mater will flourish during his administration. We the seniors of the Owl staff express the thoughts of the entire senior class in wishing the Chancellor every success during his years of service to the University.
