We walked along with you from that first day when you blushingly doffed your freshman ubeanien to a belligerant upper- classman, or when you trudged unwillingly to your new classes. We suffered with you long into the night when you were ucramming for that tough exam tomorrow. We shared with you the excitement of the first formal dance of the year. We cheered along with you at the games. We listened to you gripe about grades, dates, teachers, and the cafeteria. We have traced back over the tracks and have chosen a few of the things we remember best about your 1952 term at Tech. This book is for you. Without you there would be no Tech. Without you there would be no yearbook. May the tracks that led you happily through this year lead you into a successful life and may they serve as a guide for those who follow. Seven J -:I .1 ff CP f DA!! A44 4 Q 0 administration president l'Dynamite comes in' small packages. This oft-quoted phrase typifies our president, M. J. Horsch. A regular go-getter both on and off the campus, he is always busy. He is seen going around the campus on an errand or to some meeting. As busy as he is, he Will always take time for a word with stu- dents. What he has accomplished in the realization of a Greater Tech cannot be overlooked. He is doing a grand job. We are proud of him, and We cannot help but feel that he is an asset to our college and the area. secretary Ten The pleasant lady in the presidentls office, Miss Olga Dalporto of Smithers, is the president's secretary. She has her troubles keeping track of the pres- ident. dean Paul H. Renton, Dean of Instruction. Remember how frightened you were when you had to go into the Dean's office the first time to set up your schedule? How quickly your fears were dispelled by the friendly smile of Dean Paul H. Renton. registrar Of its many people on our cam- pus, Dr. Thornton the Registrar, is the first person you meet upon entering school. His friendliness and helpful- ness go a long way in making you feel that this is your school, and that you play an important part in its organization. secretary regisTrur's office Madeline Baker is assistant to Dr. Thornton in the Registraris office. She handles the filing of grades in the school's records. This makes her sixth year as sec- retary to the registrar. Ola Adrion is the clerk in the regis- trar's office.

Elerwz dean ef men dean of women l Patricia Truslow, Secretary to Mr. Kennedy l 1 DEAN OF MEN Keeping the presses rolling is the foremost duty of Mr. Kennedy, but he also does double duty as dean of men. He is always willing to answer your questions about printing and publishing establishments as well as job availabilities and qualifications. DEAN OF WOMEN Being dean of women isn't always pleasant, but Dr. Ratliff has learned to break the news tactfully to girls who are Hcampusedl' because of low scholastic records. Your worries and problems become hersg if she cannot help you she usually knows someone who can. Because of her under- standing counsel, Dr. Ratliff is an indispensable member of the Tech Family. financial secretary Mrs. Annie Castle, Financial Secretary Mrs. Annie Castle, financial secre- tary was the person who collected your tuition, fees, and roorn and board. All the financial business of the college must first circulate through her office.

With the aid of the well-organ- nized group, President Tyree was able to carry out more than 5070 of his platform. Among the improvements made by the Council are a suggestion box for student criticism and gripes, a modern Bear's Den, changing Techzapoppin' to a musical production, notification to students of Council action, open meet- ings, and informal socials. Tech Spirit was promoted at athletic con- tests. Freshman week was reorganiz- ed. The Council also managed to get the cheerleaders to games. Much work and thought was ex- pended by the 1952 Student Council in their effort to make your school a better one. Do you know who originates the rules governing your sorority or frater- nity? The Pan Hellenic Council does just that.

The Silver Cordw was presented the first semester in the Tech Playhouse. It was a powerful psychological drama, showing a family almost destroyed by a possessive mother who thinks of .no one but herself. Probably no play since Oedipus Rex has brought out this theme with such dramatic portrayal as The Silver Cord. HThe Male Animaln by James Thurber and Eliot Nugent ended the season. alpha psi omega The main objective of Alpha Psi Omega is to work with the Tech Players, obtain and keep interest alive in the theatre. This year for the first time Alpha Psi presented the Alpha Psi i ShoW Casef, a group of three one-act plays directed and produced by members of this society. The House of Jukew directed by Roger Williams, The Valiantw directed by Tom M. Wilson, and L'Suppressed Desiresn directed by Bernard Wren constituted the Alpha Psi Show Case.

The Tech Chapter has been very active throughout this year. To begin the year's activities the organization entered a float in the Homecoming Parade and came out with first prize.

The grandfather of all the social organizations on the Tech campus is the Psi Delta Fraternity. It was founded in 1923 by two faculty members and twelve students. The annual Christmas Dance and the St. Patrick's Dinner dance that's held in March is the highlight on the Psi Delta social calendar. Although primarily a social organization, Psi Delta has on several occasions, sponsored projects of campus interest, such as campus beautification. The membership to the fraternity has always been scattered throughout the various departments. Itis alumni represents a wide range of professions and voca- tions. Honorary members include: W. L. T. Crocker, John Matheney, and Hector H. Sutherland. Firm believers in progressive initiation of pledges, fraternal ties has been strongly knit within the organization. Hell week found pledges in the most awkward positions but like men they took the hazing all in laughs. OFFICERS : lst Semester 2nd Homer McMillion Hayward Bright .. Fred Craig .....

So the Sigma Taus throw a big Easter Formal to provide the bear with some enjoyment. The Sigma Taus try to put a little spice into the activities at Tech. They put on a sparkling Hell Week, one that would take the monotony out of any bear's life. Sigma Tau Alpha gives to a Tech bear, brotherhood. It gives him the feeling of belonging, being with other friends of fellowship with present members and the many alumni of Sigma Tau Alpha. It provides formal and informal amusement in the life of a Tech bear. As a matter of fact, the Sigma Taus add 4'life to the life of a Tech bear. OFFICERS: President ,......

Three slumber parties were held by this organization Whose aims are obtaining a scholastic standing, taking active interest in college social life, participating in any creative enterprise that the school may undertake, and promoting good-will among the students at Tech. Francis Endicott served as president during the first semester. After formal initiation ceremonies were held in February, Betty Billheimer was elected tempo- rary president.

Towards the end of last spring, the honor of reigning as May Queen was bestowed upon Sigma Janette Fox. After that, the Sigmas went to various parts of the U. S. to begin their summer vacations. Returning to school full of vim and vigor, the sorority won second place for their float, Montgomery Bridge, in the annual Safety Day parade. Jean Moore represented the Sigmas as attendant to Miss Golden Bear. For the eighth consecutive year, a Sigma was elected Queen of Hearts to reign over the annual Valentine Formal. Freshman Patty Brown was the girl to whom the honor fell. The Sigma St. Patrick's Formal was the sorority's biggest event of the year. The close of the school year finds all of the Sigmas anxiously looking forward to attending the national convention to be held in Charleston, W. Va. In February, Mrs. Anthony Bott, Grand Worthy Matron from Belleville, Illinois, visited the local Upsilon chapter to discuss convention plans. The Tech Sigmas will be co-hostesses with the Greenbrier, Morris Harvey, and Potomac State Sigma chapters to Sigmas from other United States colleges. The Sigma Sorority room was transformed into a 'fcircus atmosphere when rushees were entertained by acrobats, Siamese twins, a talking dog, a Hawaiian dancer, and a fortune teller. Card games and a Sigma Dream cake were the high- lights of the second rush party held at the Hawks Nest Country Club. Ten girls pledged the Sigmas. The pledges, together with Beta pledges, entertained Sigmas and Betas with a Christmas party which was also held at the country club. Dancing, games, singing, and an exchange of gifts were features of the evening. After dress- ing in various costumes for a week, the pledges were uentertainedi' by the actives with a slumber party. Following this, the pledges at last became active members. Back row Julia Propps Ola May Clark, Patty Quickj Mary Lou Peebles. Front row: Jo Pat Cooke, Patty Brown, Freda Gregory.

Well, we won all of them but that one. The applause that remark drew show- ed what those most avid of Tech fans- the Golden Bear Club-thought of Phil- lips and his Bears. For Don and his assis- tants, Charles Hockenberry and Hugh Bosely, led a small squad of big Bears C29 in uniform for Glenvillej to a 7-1 mark and second place in the state conference. To elaborate: The first game this season was played at East Bank, the opponents being the Shepherd Rams. The Bears came out the victor, 32-14. Walt Rapko led the scoring parade with two TD's and two conversions, while Bob Pulice, Bill Chandler, and Bob Thomas also tallied six-pointers. Total yardage gained was 172 yards, testimony of the ground-gain- ing power of the Bears. The big Slippery Rock Rockets fell to the power of the Bears 13-0 in the second game of the season. Completely domi- nating the play throughout the game, the gold-an-blue clad Bears scored twice in the second period, and had three other tallies called back. Rapko tallied twice and Bob Thomas converted once to give the Bears their win. Sixty-six Oak Hill was the scene as Tech topped Waynesburg, 25-14. In turning back the favored Yellow Jackets, Tech showed vi- cious blocking and an insurmountable de- fensive wall. Tech scores came on a blocked field goal attempt, after which frosh end Ralph Conner gob- bled up the ball and galloped 85 yards, two smashing off tackles drives by Walt Rapko, one for 61 yards and the other for 13, and a fourth period pass play that saw freshman signal-caller Bob Burruss heaving the oval to halfback Bill Chandler from 10 yards out. Twas a sad day in Mudville? The line from Casey at the Bat was brought to mind when the Morris Harvey team re- pulsed the Bears 28-7. It was a good, close hard fought ball game all the way. Tech missed a golden opportunity to take command in the fight when Wheel Tho- mas fumbled on the MH 17 in the open- ing quarter. Before this, Tech had torn open the Eagle line for 53 yards after taking the opening kickoff on its own 30. After the fumble, which seemed to knock the life out of the Bears, the Eagles were in. Tech stopped the first threat, but in the second quarter Pete Anania, an old Tech nemesis, flipped a 51-yard TD to Carl Young, and Tech never re- covered. Techls only score came after Anania had passed to Roy Brown for the second tally. Bob Pulice, stopped cold most of the evening, took Ken Harper's boot on his own 22, where he juggled the ball to about the 35. At this point he broke into the open and out ran MH's big Roy Brown to narrow the margin to 14-6. Thomas kicked the point, and Tech was through scoring for the night. Overcoming a 6-O first quarter deficit, Tech's Golden Bears showed glimpses of its pre-Morris Harvey form as they de- feated an inspired bunch of Fairmont Fal- cons 19-6 in the annual Homecoming contest at East Bank. After Fairmont had scored on a 45- yard march set up by a pass interception, Bob Pulice and Dick Fultineer led the Bears to an 80-yard touchdown drive. It was capped by Pulice's dive over the double stripes from three yards out. Rapko scored from the four on the first play after Jack Davis recovered a Falcon fumble. The final tally came on a series of passes from John Grossi to Walt Rapko.

Both WL's touchdowns came on passes, as did one of Techis-Grossi to Hess. Tech's other scores were set up by two intercept- ed passes and a blocked punt. ' Grossi's aerials did the most damage to the Hilltoppers, John hitting on 5 of 10 throws for 106 yards, including a TD. Wheel Thomas proved an able pass snatcher, hauling in two for 54 yards. Benny Cevelo recovered a blocked punt and intercepted a pass to set up two scores, Jack Davis intercepted a WL pass for a third score. Tech's mighty Bears rolled into undis- puted possession of second place in the conference with a 19-7 win over Concord in a game played in the snow. Before their hands had time to freeze up, Tech's Johnnies, Grossi and Hess, teamed up to heave and catch a pass that covered 60 yards. This was on the Bears, second play from scrimmage.

Techfs other score came after a nice punt return by defensive halfback, Ken Whittington. Ken hauled the punt in on his own 45 and galloped to the lions nine, where he was caught from behind. Walt Rapko scored from seven yards out a few plays later. A 32-0 win over Glenville marked the end of the season for the second place Bears. After the first five minutes of the game, in which time Glenville got its only two first downs, the Phillipmen complete- ly dominated the play. Tech contributed three men to the all conference team this year. Walt Rapko, a repeater, led the conference in scoring, and his somewhat smaller running mate Bob Pulice held second place. Both are hard runners. Walt has the edge in drive and Bob in hipper-dipper.

Next to it is the crowning of Miss Golden Bear. This years leading lady of the football seasoni' was Joy Fulk. She was voted by the stu- dents to be the homecoming queen. The crowning took place at the East Bank field. The queen could not ask for a better looking court. For that matter, she could not have asked for a better day.

Seventy Standing: Coach Hugh Bosley, Al Con- nors, Clair Muscaro, Jack Fabry, Eddie Solomon, Basil Harless, Bob Burruss. Al Nida, the only senior on this year's basketball squad, was elected captain for this season. Nida was captain of last yearts state conference champs. He was also named to the all-conference team at the 'end of the 50-51 season. Nida, the smallest of the starting five, was well known for his aggressive floor play and spirited team leadership. The Tech Team had a good season this year. They won the Conference Championship for the second year running. They lost out in the tournament, however. They started of the season with a bang, winning the warm-up tournament here by beating Waynesburg 95-57 and Alderson-Broaddus 80-56. Ritter wound up as the tourney's top scorer with 38 tallies in the two oontests, while Solomon had 35 and Swyers 32. In the first conference game with Beckley, the Bears won 86-61. Swyers paced the scoring attack with 20 markers. Tricky Eddie Solomon was next in line with 18. Displaying a balanced scoring attack and an alert floor game that comes only with an 'experienced squad, the Golden Bear cagers chalked up wins number four and five the following weekend on their first road trip of the season. Victims of the ultra-high scoring Bears were Fairmont and Potomac State. The Falcons were subdued 84-54, while Potomac's Catamounts fell before the defending champs, 86-64. The Morris Harvey Golden Eagles was the only team that beat the Bears twice. The first game, played there, was won by only five points. In the game played here, the margin was slightly bigger, but Al Nida and Eddie Solomvon garnered 22 and 20 points respectively. A big blow came to the Bears with the loss of two of the top scorers in the history of the school, Harry QTexJ Ritter and George Swy-ers. These two boys were dismissed because of academic difficulties. Jack Fabry and Bob McClain were assigned the job of taking their places, and they came through in the best manner. Midway during the season the National Association of Intercollegiate Basketball re- vealed that the Bosleymen ranked third among the nation's smaller colleges in team scoring and fifth in team foul shooting percentages. The Bears averaged 81 points in their first 16 outings and cashed in on 70 per cent of the tosses from the charity line. A championship team must have first-line substitutes. Ken Whittington and Basil ,Harless provided the Golden Bears with that needed strength. Appearing in almost every contest, Whittington and Harless were valuable in taking up the slack in the lineup when one of the regulars was withdrawn. Clair Muscaro, a sophomore from Weirton stands 6'2W and is a strong team man on the team. His excellent handling of rebounds set many a fast break on its way. Coach Hugh Bosely had the idea of giving the fans a full evening's entertainment this year. A double-header basketball game was played with the Montgomery High School team. Tech met and defeated Davis and Elkins while the 'Hounds beat Hinton. This was only one of several attractions that Bosely lined up for the Fans. At intermission of -one game, two teams wearing boxing gloves endeavored to bring a few laughs to the crowd. The results were a good time had by all.
