P. I. annuals. We hope it shall prove to be worthy of its ancestry. On the other hand, it owes great obligations to the present and greater obligations to the future, for it contains a record of a lively year of W. P. I. history. In its artistic and literary make-up, it aspires to keep abreast of this vigorous college and its interesting ex¬ istence. Therefore, cherishing the desire that it may be worthy of its purpose, of service, and of some in¬ tangible value to those who will possess it, we present this, the sixth volume of the Peddler.

President When Rear-Admiral Ralph Earle resigned from the Navy in 1925 to accept the Presidency of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, his reputation as a great adminis¬ trator was already secure. Through all the period of America’s participation in the World War he had served brilliantly as Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance of the Navy Department, the youngest officer ever appointed to that responsible position. “The daily association and the comradeship in endeavor and hard work has been most grateful to me,” wrote Josephus Daniels, then Secretary of the Navy, “and it must be gratifying to you to know the high estimate placed upon the services of the Bureau of Ordnance under your administration. It is not only true that this high estimate is placed on it by your associates in the Naval service, but by the country at large, for the origination of the Mine Barrage, the making of a type of mine which revolutionized warfare, the conception and execution of the big guns we sent to France, the acquisition of the proving grounds, the completion of the projectile plant and torpedo factory, the foundations for the new armor plant, and a score of other great enterprises begun under your administration and carried out with such honor to the Navy, will constitute one of the finest chapters of Naval achievement in its whole history.” With this proud record behind him, Admiral Earle returned to Worcester, his native city, and to Worcester Tech, within whose walls he had pursued his studies while awaiting his appointment to the United States Naval Academy. It must have been a peculiar gratification to him to come back as President of the Institute, most of whose buildings had been designed by his father, Stephen C. Earle, in his day the most distinguished architect in Central Massachusetts. The father had given material shape to the earliest buildings on the campus; his even more distinguished son was to shape the characters of ambitious youth who within those edifices were preparing themselves for the service of the world in a new and strangely difficult time. How conscientiously and with what conspicuous ability he has performed this task is evidenced by the admiration and loyalty of the whole undergraduate body. Every student turns to him as counselor, guide, and model, and none has ever turned in vain. We are proud of his past achievements in the Navy; we are proud of the added prestige he has brought our Alma Mater; we thrill with pride at his friendly designation of us as his “ship-mates” ; and, as we leave the sheltered college haven to try our fortunes on the uncertain seas of life, we give him back with affectionate pride the message with which, by means of his beloved Naval signal Hags, he has taken leave of our predecessors: “Well done. Good bye. Fare ye well.” Fifteen -H- The Trustees of Worcester Polytechnic Institute This Board is known as the Corporation LIFE MEMBERS Charles Baker, Secretary 86 Foster St., Worcester JDr. Homer Gage, Treasurer 8 Clertnut St., Worcester Charles L.

Friday, October 4th when the Sophomores were waiting outside the M.E. building with a set of new paddles which were soon gracing the walls of the dormitory. . .how Johnny Kane ran wild against Arnold in the last quarter. . .then came our first class elections with Leighton Jackson as president, Johnny Kane as vice- president, Tack Hammer as secretary, Roy Driscoll as treasurer, and John Church as historian.. .our reception at Prexy’s. . . the rope-pull with the Freshmen remaining the dry class. . . Hempstone goes on the first mysterious ride and sees much of the sur¬ rounding country. . .Angora cat attracts more attention than does Coombsie’s English lecture. . .when some of our classmates went to classes clad in surprisingly original costumes, through no fault of their own. . .interclass sports were evenly divided, the Sophs taking football and the Frosh soccer...our first Tech Carnival and how we carried off the “Y” cup with our television skit. . .lack of experience caused our loss in the inter-class shooting and swimming matches. . .Christmas recess offered us our first respite from studies. . .night before recess finds Max y wondering what to do with the Ford he found on the first floor of the dorm. . .return from our vacation with the prospects of our first set of finals in the all too near future. . .pledging by the Knights of the Road amid the crashing of cymbals, Nicoletti, Parker, Furman. . .entering the second term with a determination to carry off all honors. . .semi-annual faculty weed¬ ing takes its usual number. . .

Hammer filling the president’s chair, Manvel as vice-president, Gustafson secretary, Joe Fogg auditor, Driscoll and Church re¬ elected as treasurer and historian.. .class asserts itself again by defeating the Sopho¬ mores in basketball... then came the series of orientation talks by the department heads setting forth the merits of their respective departments... at the annual lech Banquet we won the decision in the skit supported by the class of ' 31 . . .loss of bowl¬ ing match our only set-back of the term by the Sophomores. ..pajama parade to Horticultural Hall to serenade the Junior Prom... showed the Goat’s Head under the very noses of the Sophomores at the track meet, and successfully eloped with it. . . evidently buried in the Far West. . .came the lazy days. . .Pop Adams’ early summer philosophy. . .approaching exams. . .restlessness in the dorm. . .our first summer shop . . .and we were no longer Freshmen.

S. M. E. Ed is popular and well known to every one on the hill. In spite of all his activities, Ed still found time to do a little studying—for all Tau Betes do study now and then. After spending a long period, fiat on his back, hanging between life and death, he joined the ranks of 1933 in his Sophomore year. For four years he has been an outstanding soccer player becoming co-captain in his Junior year and captain last fall. ’33 is proud of its lanky Yankee and certainly hopes to hear more of his accomplishments. ALEXANDER L. ALVES “A l” .T 2 E Mechanic: Prep: Tri-State College of Engineering Address: 78 Town Hill Ave., Danbury, Ct. A. S. M. E., Engineering Society of Tri-State. We shall always remember “Al” as the student who took his exercise while acquiring knowledge. As soon as Professor Roys asked the result of the quantities on the board, Al would draw out his twenty-inch slide rule. Immediately, friends on either side of him would crouch back and assume a watchful poise; for, who knew where the end of that slider wou d strike. His experiences, seriousness, and slight accent make him an interesting and well read conversationalist. Those who know him best will not forget the originator of the phrase, “You do not know how to apply yourself.” ARTHUR OLAF ANDERSON “Andy” Mechanic: Prep: Worcester North High School Address: 34 Shattuck St., Worcester, Mass. Golf (2, 3, 4), (Captain 4). “Andy has followed in the footsteps of his brother at Worcester Tech by taking the Mechanical Engineering course. It has not been a long grind to him since his name has appeared on the honor roll several times. His ability in mechanics is well recognized, but his famili¬ arity with the fairer sex is unknown. Studies did not receive all his attention for he is a golfer of no mean ability, as is shown by his election to captaincy. Like all good golfers “Andy” is cool and thoughtful. In addition, his kind and considerate atti¬ tude should go a long way toward making him a suc¬ cessful engineer.

I. E. E.; Historian (4a); Football Manager (4). Bill never allowed the night life of Worcester to tempt him from his work. His recent election to Tau Beta Pi was indeed a well earned one. However, do not think that Bill is of a one track mind. On the contrary, his good humor and never failing ability to come through with an original expression have earned him the name of Gas-Pipe. Bill, as manager, piloted the football team on its successful trips last fall. His conscientiousness and earnestness have made him a worthy addition to our class. GORDON ELLIS BARNES “Kid” “Barnzie” © X Electric: Prep: Hardwick High School Address: Hardwick, Massachusetts. Rope Pull (2). They say that G. E. is one of the principal reasons for the romantic atmosphere of which we have heard so much in Gilbertville. And it is easy to see why this may be true; we won’t go any further into the details of the subject. Let it suffice to say that Gordon is a real addition to the engineering profession and that, if his first two initials are any indication of the future, the General Electric Company will soon be enjoying the fruits of his labor.

E.; Treasurer (36); President (4); Rope Pull (1) (2); Half-way-through Banquet Comm.; Peddler (3) (4). No one will forget the cheery smile of horizontal Waldo. Tech did not bother him when he was thinking of the less technical things in life. In this quest he spent many hours reading and telling others why and in what things they should train their minds. But when it came to a problem, Bass was almost always right even though he was not ambitious in doing his home¬ work. In an argument he would say, “YES BUT,” and anyone who knew him would know that the truth was forthcoming. In later years we must look for this boy where there are “Big” men in business, because with a mind like his, we are sure of his success.

I. E. E.; Assistant Manager Swimming (3). Charlie isn’t a very noisy chap, but he accomplishes things in his quiet way. His antiquated Dodge was a safe and sure means of reaching the destinations of the Junior Electrics on their tour through Vermont. Al¬ though he is humorous by nature, when aroused, slip- sticks and books are not unusual weapons. He will al¬ ways be remembered by his friends as a painstaking and hard-working young man, willing to help in any way. ALLEN BEASLEY BELCHER “Bozo” AXA Electric: Prep: Springfield Technical High School Address: 130 Bowles St., Springfield, Mass. A. I. E. E.; Football; Track. No, Al’s home is not in Rhode Island, but in Spring- field, Mass. He is well acquainted with Providence, however, and spends many a vacation in that city. “Bozo “slipped up” in his freshman year, but he made his come¬ back as a sophomore, and has been with the class of ’33 since that time. His ready laugh and his willing spirit have made themselves a part of our life here at Tech, and that same personality should prove to be the greatest asset to him in his future life. Among other accomplishments, he has mastered a peculiar whistle, which manifests itself in many a lab period, for the entertainment, and in some cases, to the chagrin, of his classmates. ALBERT ORLIN BELL “A l” 0 X Mechanic: Prep: Leominster High School A. S. M. E.; Rope Pull (1) (2) ; Class Football (1) (2); Class Treasurer (3); Football. Address: 47 Hale St., Leominster, Mass. Hail! native s on of Leominster, famous for its products, here is another one of your men that has won his spurs on the Hill. The rolls of the dormitory cain- raisers would be incomplete without having the name of this lad indelibly written on its lengthy pages. A jovial, happy-go-lucky lad, A1 has won many friends by his good-naturedness and warmness of heart. Al’s athletic career has been one of constant plugging and a zest for his work, and with such a background who can deny him a successful future.

Al is not so well known to the rest of the class as he is to the chemists. This is because he spent his first year at the University of Maine and since coming here has spent most of his time in the Salisbury Building. However, those who know him have always enjoyed his quiet, amiable companionship. If application to his work makes a successful chemist, we are confident of his future. JOHN ALDEN BIRCH “JoJinny” Electric ' . Prep: Yale University Address: Branford, Connecticut Radio Club. A bit of jollity and merriment combined with enough seriousness to balance properly—that’s John. Always ready to play pranks on some one, he receives them in the same sportsmanlike manner in which they are given. Johnny became a campus figure early in his freshman course called for an exposition and John derived his material from an original experiment with a ninety-foot pendulum. Hats off to just a right good pal! May suc¬ cess cross your every path in future days, days as the exponent of the trenchcoat. Coombsie’s English ROBERT WADLEIGH BLAKE Bob © X Electric: Prep: Franklin High School Address: 18 Oak St., Franklin, N. H. A. I. E. E.; Track Manager (4). The tray groaned under the weight of the twenty-five plates of pancakes, but did this appease the appetite of the Junior Electric’s greatest gormandizer? No,—a thousand times, no! Bob, the greatest of pan-cake eaters, swallowed them all at a gulp and set up a ter¬ rific howl for more. No engineer should work on an empty stomach, is one of his firm beliefs. His mile-wide grin and deep bass voice always made Bob a welcomed member of the summer inspection trips.

Duke’s reputa¬ tion was well established early in his freshman year by his famous, mile-wide smile. After a rather inauspicious start, he managed to keep the Tech natators very much in the swim during the past two years. The courses have been taken right in step by the Duke and after a skirmish with B.A. back in the Junior steam course we are cer¬ tain that he knows when something is being done right. We are sure that his unselfish traits and self-assertion will win for Duke a great amount of respect. CHARLES STANLEY BREWER “Stan” $ S K Electric: Prep: Worcester North High Address: 14 Dix St., Worcester, Mass. Secretary A. I. E. E.; Track; Cross Country; Soph Hop; Junior Prom. High spots in Stan’s career:—delivering the famous Brewer interpretation of the “bird”;—persuading the “struggle-buggy” that it wanted to go the remaining twenty miles home that same night;—being exempted from Dutchy’s finals twice;—leading the cross-country pack home in record time after a night of dancing with the current heart-throb;—from evening clothes to cor¬ duroys in five minutes to make an eight o’clock on a morning after;—dreaming in class of the femme who thought he resembled Ramon Navarro;—cutting twelve of the fifteen monthly recitations and still passing the course. ELLIS R. BROWN Civil: Prep: Ashland High School Address: 308 Union St., Ashland, Mass. A. S. C. E. The Ashland Milk Special brings to us each morning none other than the famous Mr. E. R. Brown. The originator of the famous “Brown Shuffle,” which is captivating all the gigolos including the certain C. J. D. and C. S. B. Along with his multitude of theories of stress and strain in “Barrel Bung Holes,” he is credited with the composition of the cheer: “What is the color of-PBrown-Brown-Brown. The old Brown Derby covers a lump which is capable of great ac¬ complishments. His scholastic accomplishments are domi¬ nated by two achievements, his escapement of the clutches of Sigma Beta, and his comeback after a month of sick¬ ness in his senior year. His presence on the hill will be sadly missed after the month of June. Fifty-three nr IIIHIII HIE. J2 HIE HID HID ML HIE HR. mi gm -i jfe. ALLEN LESTER BROWNLEE “A l” A X A Electric.

A1 is just another little boy from the country who came to the big city to make good. Four years ago A1 came to us from a little hick town down in Connecticut. He had a longing to become an engineer, and seems to be on the way to fulfilling that desire. However, soon after arriving he was asked to play nursemaid to one of our Prof’s daughters and since finding the fair sex rather interesting has developed his technic along these lines until today he prides himself in the fact that he is quite accomplished at the telephone. However, altho’ the girls manage to get a good share of his time, he still manages to be active on the hill and will leave in June with a good record behind him. It must be a gift, Al. HAROLD DAVIS BURT Harry” 2 H Civil: Prep: North Attleboro High School Address: S. Washington St., N. Attleboro, Mass. A. S. C. E.; Band (1) (2). Four years ago Harry came to us from the Jewelry Town. From the beginning he showed that his interest was in the right place by going out for the band. Al¬ though not aggressive, his friends find that he has an active interest in their welfare. In the drafting room, Doyle and Drake often drifted over to Harry to ask about some problem and Drake always ended the session with one of his latest jokes. Those who know Harry seek to know him better, while those who know him but little seek his acquaintance. With his scholastic honors and his admirable traits, we are sure that he will climb steadily to some responsible position. LEO BURWICK Leo” 2 fi Electric: Prep: Worcester Classical High School Address: 86 Penn Ave., Worcester, Mass. Band, Radio Club, Orchestra. Leo is another student from Classical High who is up¬ holding the prestige of the Worcester engineers. For the entire four years his interest has been centered main¬ ly with the musical clubs and the fraternity teams. It made little difference to Leo what sport was to be played, for he and Wolk were always ready to represent their fraternity. There have been very few of us that have been able to get that extra half hour of sleep in the morning, but for four years it has been customary to expect his appearance at 8.30 for eight o’clocks. Well —look at Jimmy Walker! 1111 3b Jfc. nr llltilll I1IF HIP 1IIE HID 111D UiL HIE 1HR. ROBERT FISKE BYE “Bob” “Fiskey” Mechanic: Prep: Deering High School, Portland, Me.

Due to Bob’s having found it necessary to drop out of school for a year, his former class-mates have been the losers, but we of the class of ’33 can say that we have found him to be a most welcome addition to our ranks. It seems that whenever things begin to look gloomy, Bob is ready with one of his typical humorous remarks. Many a dreary afternoon of machine design was brightened by Bob ' s super-solutions of stress in slip- sticks and the like. It is by his cheerful spirit that we shall always remember him. JOHN BOYLSTON CAMPBELL “Bees” Electric: Prep: Sanford School, Redding Ridge, Conn. Address: New Canaan, Connecticut Radio Club, Camera Club, Glee Club. If you want a favor done and are fortunate enough to be acquainted with smiling Bees Campbell, you are cer¬ tain of his cooperation. A good deal of natural ability, combined with the profitable background of a Princeton education, has enabled Bees to be the Nemesis of the faculty of the E. E. department. For when he was really interested in a subject, who is there that could question his knowledge. During the past two years Bees has had some difficulty in proving to the faculty that the writing of reports is just so much nonsense to a truly analytical • mind. Well—One sometimes wonders! UMBERT FRANCIS CORSINI “Bato” 2 A E Mechanic: Prep: Worcester North High School Address: 239 Lincoln St., Worcester, Mass. A. S. M. E.; Newman Club; Class Soccer (2); Class Tennis (1); Junior Marshal; Tennis (1) (2) (3) (4); Tennis Captain (3) (4). Wherever one sees comedy, he is sure to find Bato. He is a perfect specimen of the genus ‘whocares’. Al¬ though Bato is one of the shortest men of the class, his stature has been no handicap to his ambitions. He is a modern Tilden, having been the mainstay of the tennis team during his four years at Tech. It is a safe bet that in the near future we will hear from Bato as a famous hydraulic engineer. His attempts out at Chaffins are not to be sniffed at, as he is certainly doing wonders with that great liquid, water. We hope that he does not find it runs up hill.

Four years ago this husky fellow ventured out of the wilds of Oakham and soon became known for his jolly nature and scholastic attainments. “Hey, Ray, what answer did you get for that problem?’’ is usually heard after a quiz, for if one checks with Crawford one is quite certain of being correct. Ray doesn’t spend all his time with chemistry, for his week-ends and holidays are spent on the farm. He even brings the atmosphere of the farm to the laboratory in preparing compounds from natural sources. If Ray continues to mow down the ob¬ stacles in his path as he has been doing, he will gain a high place in any field which he may enter. GUY AUSTIN CUMMINGS, JR. Red” AT fi Electric: Prep: Ware High School Address: Ware, Mass. A. I. E. E.; Chairman Half-way-thru banquet Comm.; Peddler; Rope Pull (1) (2); Tennis. One balmy day in late September of the year 1929, Red blew in from the country and proceeded to intrench himself in the depths of Sanford Riley Hall. It was there that we were to hear of Ware, for the first—but by no means the iast—time, for numerous anecdotes con¬ cerning that thriving metropolis are eternally springing from the lips of its progeny. Like a great many other wise people in this age, Red believes that the future is going to depend in no small degree upon the accomplish¬ ments of the electrical engineer. Never noisily promi¬ nent and ever wide-awake, he is the sort of fellow for whom you are safe in prophesying a successful future. GEORGE DAVAGIAN Mechanic: Prep: Millbury High School Address: 132 Providence St., Millbury, Mass. A. S. M. E. George, our loyal comrade, is finding it pleasant to loiter by the wayside, but will soon follow us. It was always a source of great joy to be able to work with George in M. E. Labaratory, for when the log sheets were almost beyond hope, he was always ready to supply the needed details. Wasn’t it George that mitigated out- sorrow and alleviated our misery when Ajax inevitably demanded a six-foot rule? His quizzical attitude and unrelenting demand for an explanation are true char¬ acteristics of a successful engineer.

Then things began to happen; bigger and better women at Tech dances, more life to parties he attended, and that inimitable laugh of his. Tommie played a sterling game of basketball with the varsity this year, and made a host of friends because of his playing abil¬ ity. Through all of this he has maintained a good scholastic average. Rumor has a trip South for him this year, but our bet is that he will soon settle down right here in Worcester. ARTHUR DESLAURIERS, JR. “Del Civil: Prep: David Prouty High School Address: 31 Temple St., Spencer, Mass. Rope Pull (2) ; Baseball. During his years in the civil diggings, Del has won the pro ud admiration of his classmates. It is generally con¬ ceded that few can exhibit a pocket handkerchief or flaunt a daring cravat with more elegance than this sartorial master. As a member of the Commissioned Commuters Commotion he has upheld the dignity and prestige of W. P. I. by getting to class in spite of over¬ due trains and other depot anchors. The A. S. C. E. has profited by Dei’s membership and we know that he will be successful as an engineer. He is a faithful sup¬ porter of all Tech activities and traditions, and an asset to its organizations. ARTHUR HERBERT DIXON “Art” “Dick A X A Mechanic: Prep: W. Springfield High School Address: 15 Webster Ave., W. Springfield, Mass. Rope Pull (1) ; Rifle Club (1). Entering W. P. I. cool, calm and collected, it took “Art just about one year before things began to take him. His two major failings are coming out of a store without having made a purchase, and getting to bed; which by the way, suggests his life ambition. He hopes, just once, to get sufficient sleep. An insight into “Art’s” activities reveals his capacity as a draftsman, chauffeur, bookkeeper, photographer, fireman, politician and, hidden though it may be, as a student. Just as a little word of advice, we venture to say— concentrate on the big things in life and leave the little “arts” until later.

Glee Club; Masque; Camera Club. Frank started out to be a chemist and among other things was well on the road to a new record in smashed glassware when he suddenly got tired of it all and switched over to the General Science course. Or was Dr. Smith’s failure to appreciate his vocal efforts in the lab the cause of his defection? Anyway, Frank ' s success among the sharks of the G. S. course is sufficient evi¬ dence of his mental calibre. As for his vocal efforts, his “basso profundo” has been a mainstay of the Glee Club for four years. As further evidence of his versatil¬ ity, he spouts German with the glibness of a native Deutscher.

S. C. E.; Tech Council (4). Joe is one of those quiet unassuming fellows who ap¬ parently came to Tech to acquire an education and thus didn’t have much time to become widely known among us. Of course he took time off to cavort over the cinders as was evidenced by his winning of a ‘W’ in his sophomore year, but he didn’t let these track activi¬ ties interfere with his ballroom training. In fact it was on the polished dance floor that he shone, not only as a waltz king but also as a raconteur. Then too, as a fashion plate for the civils he has dictated correct dress for the engineer during his scintillating career. Female intricacies at times interfered with Joe’s official duties as President of the ASCE but the engineer must be broadened, as Joe can testify. JOHN JOSEPH DWYER “Jack” Friars Civil: Prep: Worcester South High Address: 11 Loudon St., Worcester, Mass. Newman Club; A. S. C. E. John was one of those envied Civils who made hon¬ ors each year and escaped the horrors of a make-up exam. He was a hard worker but was always willing to lend a hand to those in need. He always had an abundance of energy and his display of it when tickled was a potential source of amusement for his brother Civils during those long drafting periods. Rumor has it that John s next Alma Mater will be West Point. If so, we wish you luck, John.

A. S. M. E. Frank made a name for himself early in his freshman year by his ability to hit the chem. prelims. Since then he has been well known about the campus, always greet¬ ing those he met, with a cheery hello. Becoming slight¬ ly light-headed from the rigors of Tech life, he decided to beard Pinkie in his den, so he became an aeronaut. It was there that it first became known that he was a genius in the art of spreading it over the many pages of his bulky reports. Pal has made many friends because of his cheerful personality and his air of easy com- radery. ALBERT HACKETT ENSOR ‘‘A l” 0 X Electric: Prep: Brockton High School Address: 14 Tilton Ave., Brockton, Mass. Soph Hop Comm.; Soccer, aWf, Manager; Ra¬ dio Club (1) ; A. I. E. E. Some of the E. E.’s on the Summer Trip experienced narrow escapes from heart-failure while watching A1 make passes at important-looking handles. Now that the trip is finished, they wonder just what would have happened to the “N. E. P.,” had some of those passes connected. Al’s interests in Worcester were by no means centered in one spot. Besides finding time to attend to his work, and manage the Soccer team, he found abundant opportunity to absent himself from scholarly cares and re-appear in another part of the city. Just how he made such a success of both aims is not wholly clear, but we admire his ability to keep both in mind at the same time. The best of luck, Al, and may the years to come bring as much success and pleasure as those past. ROBERT EARL FERGUSON “Bob” 2 A E Chemist: Prep: Worcester South High Address: 1347 Main St., Worcester, Mass. Skeptical Chymist. Bob is the type of fellow seldom seen and much to be admired because he has that enviable ability of adapting himself to any circumstances and fitting in any crowd. It takes a good man to keep smiling through the Chem course. However, Bob has managed to do this and help keep his fellow chemists cheery as well. Even the Kaiser in all his glory was unable to keep Fergy from getting a little fun out of life. Come what may, Robert seems to be perpetually good-natured and his cheery outlook on life will probably bring him as many friends in the future as it has in the class of ’33.

As a member of the board of consulting engineers that gathered in the drafting room mornings to produce those unanimously correct problem solutions, Frisky’s habit of doing his preps every day for every course was a source of joy to his less conscientious fellow civils on a crowded morning after. Stan’s weekend dash for Northboro was considered as proof of the old adage that “absence makes the heart grow fonder’ but it was soon discovered that this lad was combining business with pleasure as Monday would find him with his lab reports type¬ written and lecture notes copied in feminine hand¬ writing. The Civils will not soon forget those famous Brown-Fiske bone bending battles.

Among the multitudinous members of that famous class of ’33 which entered the Institute in the fall of 1929 was a rather quiet boy by the name of Fogg. At first, Joe took quite a ride because of his name, but it wasn’t long before we found that there was something behind it which we all liked. Joe has been one of the main vertebrae of the back-bone of the swimming team the past three years. He has also played a good steady brand of football during his sojourn here. As an active member of the Newman Club, he has served in the capacity of president. Of late, Joe hasn’t been “seeing’’ the books quite as much as usual. But—ah, well—we all get that way sooner or later! ALDEN HOLT FULLER “A l” A X A Chemist: Prep: Windham High School Address: Hampton, Conn.

In A1 we have a fellow who is profoundly interested in farming and chemistry, so it will be difficult for him to choose his life work. Upon meeting him, he appears to be a quiet modest young man, but those who are bet¬ ter acquainted with him know of his warm pers onality and his rigid determination. On Sunday afternoons he spent his time at Boynton Hall working on the Nevus.

After four years of hard, conscientious work on the football squad, Mocho proved that there are fellows that want a good team even if they are not in every game. It is this fine quality that has entrenched him firmly in our hearts. He, through his amiability and his cheerful and unselfish nature, has won the high regard of all his friends. Almost any good thing to be said can be said of Mocho. Have a chair, Mocho.

Someone with a Red and Gray jersey boosts Tech’s score by another two points with a beautiful shot from the center of the floor. The hoop-legged in¬ dividual coasts back into his position, and who else could this person be than our Palook? Gartie is not only one of the main cogs in Tech’s basketball machine, but he is also the engineer, as it were, or captain. When not engaged in sinking double-deckers from all angles, Palook is holding down the hot corner or directing the football team on a strategic power drive, and he does a mighty good job of it, too. Never too serious, yet always well-off; never worried, yet eternally accomplish¬ ing, he beats us all.

Those of us who knew him in high school realized the extent of his abilities but it was not long before those who came to know him on the Hill became aware of certain admirable qualities that go far in realizing success in the great game of life. Ken is not only a musician of some talent but has interested himself in studies and extra-curricula activi¬ ties to the extent of being made a member of Tail Beta Pi, the honorary fraternity that stands for so much in under-graduate and graduate life.

He claims that the best way to prep for an exam is to take in a peppy show the night before, so that the mind is not befuddled with too many complications. It seems to work in his case, because he was still good enough to be taken into Pinky ' s group of aerial artists in his Senior year. GILBERT URBAN GUSTAFSON “Gussie” t b n Civil: Prep: William H. Hall High School Address: 178 Arnoldale Road, W. Hartford, Ct. Class Secretary (lb, 2a); Business Ass’t Tech News (3); Business Manager ( + ) ; Business Assistant Peddler (3) ; Business Manager (4). Look for the tallest fellow in the crowd and when you have found him you have found our Gussie. He was once an innocent freshman, but time and deeds will efface all things. During his four years at Tech, he has become notorious because of his constant quest for money in carrying out his duties as business manager of the Peddler and Tech News. We are sure that if Tech had a debating team Gussie would lead it, since his first love is arguing about nothing whether he be right or wrong. Business men with an engineering training are hard to beat so we expect big things from Gussie. HAROLD AXEL HAMMER Tack” f 2 K T B IT Skull Electric: Prep: Wethersfield High School Address: 31 Somerset St., Wethersfield, Ct.

He is an uncommon stu¬ dent; his scholastic achievement is typified by the lacka¬ daisical ease with which he made up an absence from college due to an attack of scarlet fever and yet made Tau Bete. Political mantles rested lightly on Tack’s shoulders, never impairing his popularity as is so often the case. Tack was smooth and reserved in company, but in more homely moments he could personify the tiger with variations and volume. In argumentation his defense of anything Swedish was irrefutable, for when logic failed to prevail, his boisterous chatter al¬ lowed no opportunity for rebuttal. Here’s to valuable future considerations!

Lin is another one of those rugged Civils and one of the best. Why ask Jerry Howe about Structural Design when Prof. Harvey is around? Although Lin is seen at almost all Tech activities, we seldom see him associat¬ ing with the young ladies; but rumors from Swansea have it that he has his weakness. These rumors are seconded by the pictures in his room, where many a civil forum has been held in the wee hours of the morning doing one of S. H.’s 2-hour masonry problems. Lin is a scholar, a gentleman, and—what is more important— a sincere friend. DONALD WADE HASKINS “Don A X A Mechanic: Prep: Chicopee High School Address: 134 Stearns Terrace, Chicopee, Mass.

Don’s activity during his four years at Tech have made him well liked and well known. He has taken a prominent part in many things varying from athletic endeavor to class and social activity. Although not outstanding in any one thing, he has shown himself capable of doing almost anything well. Don has kept himself busy while here at school, but has always had time to help a friend in distress. He has proved his right to the title of gentleman, giving preference rather consistently to a blond member of the fairer sex from the home town. He having made his college days suc¬ cessful, we all wish him continued success. STEPHEN STOCKBRIDGE HAYNES “Steve” “Steam-Ship” Mechanic: Prep: Southbridge High School Address: 131 Front St., Binghamton, N. Y. Band (1, 2, 3); Aeronautics Club (1, 2); A. S. M. E. Steve has risen to a place of great esteem in the minds of a numerous group of friends. Whenever one sees him, he has a cheery greeting and a ready smile. If you add this to his ability to think clearly and sanely, you can see why the rigours of an engineering educa¬ tion have not left too severe a mark upon him. What¬ ever Steve’s choice of a life-work will be, he is sure to consider everything with a standard of judgment and balance that will spell success.

He was always cheerful and interested in his work even when the assignments were numerous and long. As a mem¬ ber of the basketball team he had a reputation of sink¬ ing the impossible shots. His activity in the rifle club was just practise for his hunting trips on those free afternoons. Beside his ardent love for hunting, A1 has a great weakness for fishing and his reputation is well established along the Holden reservoir. With these hobbies and his cheerfulness his future will be one worth living. LEIGHTON JACKSON “Bud’ f r a t b n 2 H Chemist: Prep: Worcester Classical High Address: 8 Biltmore Rd., Worcester, Mass.

Bud started his activities with his entrance to Tech, being elected temporary chairman and then president of the freshman class. From then on his time was divided principally among the Y, the Glee Club, and Chem course. How well he handled his course can be seen from the fact that he made Tau Beta Pi without having been an outstanding tennis player. We did not see as much of Bud on the Hill as we might have, had he not had the misfortune of living in Worcester. Bud’s characteristic quality is that of doing a job as soon as the job appears, a quality that insures steadi¬ ness and persistency in any fellow.

Here’s the fellow who never donned a track shoe before coming to Tech, and turned out to be one of the greatest point-getters on the team during his four years. With all his athletic and other activities, he still found time to gain recognition in scholarship, such recogni¬ tion in fact, that he was elected to Tau Beta Pi and Skull. In losing Harry Jensen, the college has not only lost an athlete and a scholar, but also an extremely likeable fellow, one who will be missed by all who knew him.

From the fast town of Millbury came Carl Ludwig Johnson, known popularily as “The General.” Al¬ though having been out of High School for four years, he was high man in scholarship when we were Fresh¬ men. At the end of the Freshman year he took the fatal step when he decided to be a Chemist. However his fame did not wane; he has shown that he has a keen mind and can use it properly. He gets along excel¬ lently with Dr. Smith, one of his mentors, which is a good recommendation to his powers of hypnosis. Added to these, he has a great gift of words, always the proper expression for the situation. If’ you try to understand his big words, it may be necessary to consult Webster. carroll mckenzie Johnson “Mac” © X Mechanic: Prep: Antrim High School Address: 3 Highland Ave., Antrim, N. H. Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); A. S. M. E.; Vice-Presi¬ dent Musical Association (4) ; Masque (3, 4) ; Publicity Manager (4). Upon looking over the list of Mac’s activites one wonders how he finds time for study. Knowing Mac however, we realize he is one of those particularly fortunate people who carry responsibility gracefully and well, and always has time to help a friend find the cor¬ rect solution to a problem whether in school work or outside. Mac hails from the little known town of Antrim in the wilds of New Hampshire and his curly hair at¬ tracts admiration from all, especially from the fair sex. With all his outside activities, however, his name nearly always appears on the honor list and we feel that with his practical mind and likeable personality he will surely make a name for himself in his chosen profession.

Eddie very often left us on Saturday afternoons, not to be seen again until Sunday night. Hut then, who wouldn’t, when the girl from home is the occasion. Eddie was fortunate in becoming golf manager this year. Still more fortunate is he that manager’s aren’t forced to play on the team. Outside of a little obstacle in his sophomore year, he has had clear sailing with respect to studies. We hope that you are among the fortunate this spring, Eddie, so that those plans of yours can be fulfilled.

Paul left the Institute for a year to take a job as a civil engineer with the State and they tell us that he was one of the high salaried men. During the Thanksgiving recess he took a trip down to the University of Richmond, they say to see if after all he had been cut out to be a Southern gentleman. We of the Class of ’33 are glad to have him with us. ASHER LANGDON JOSLIN “Joss” © y n 2 H Mechanic: Prep: Bartlett High School Address: 35 Elm St., Webster, Mass. A. S. M. E.; Band (1, 2, 3, 4). Joss was quiet, but now, after four years, well, one finds him a consistent honor student, always ready to help, and prepared to discuss any subject, from the in¬ finitesimal to the infinite, with the sky the limit. He has few failings, and his chief ambitions are to see a ghost, and to attain a bigger and better imagination. He does little in student athletics, but outside, he is an excellent steeple-jack, and house climber, and his record from Tech to the bus terminal on Saturday noon still stands. After graduation his tricks, humor, and sly remarks as well as his common sense will be missed by all of his many friends. ARAM KALENIAN Chemist: Prep: Westboro High School Address: 13 High St., Westboro, Mass. Skeptical Chymist. Aram first glimpsed the lights of superior knowledge in 1929, when he entered W. P.

During his four years at the Institute, Aram h as become intimately acquainted, with that elusive science known as Chemistry, and in so doing has done much to create good fellowship, and a host of friends in the class of ’33. We all hope that the ambition, and desire for greater knowledge that has led Aram through his four years of college life, will continue after grad¬ uation, and we feel certain that his will be a happy and successful career.

Jack was always very much in evidence especially among the brilliants of the C. E. division, and although he “couldn’t take it,” (quotation from Mr. C. J.

Four years ago a quiet, reserved youth descended on the campus determined to avail himself of its educa¬ tional opportunities and to prepare diligently for the future. A1 has successfully accomplished this end and as his record testifies, he has proved his worth. Sure and dependable is he in the performance of all his duties. Those who know this lad testify to his manliness and high standards. While not actively engaged in extra-curricula activities, A1 is well liked and esteemed by all. He is a true gentleman and his ability is equalled only by his modesty. HAROLD ARTHUR LAMLEIN “Hal” % « Chemist: Pr ep: Clinton High School Address: 86 Beech St., Clinton, Mass. Hal is one of the most easily satisfied boys in the school; a ninety or ninety-five look just as good to him. However, we will probably remember him best as the investigator of the reaction of sodium and water in a closed flask. We doubt if he will try it again. Then, too, organic laboratory would have been a rather drab affair had it not been for his droll wit and his pet ex¬ pression: You are stark, raving mad. His realistic imi¬ tations of various professors would have been difficult to improve upon. We hear that Harold is going to study business after graduation. May his success be as great as it has been on the hill. Sixty-seven HIT II1HIII IMF HIP 11IF- HID HID IIIL HIE 111R. ilJJ J . J .

Four years of continuous and unselfish activity on the soccer field, on the basketball court, and on the track, besides an envious scholastic record, have brought to Lymie much deserved honors. He has taken these honors thus bestowed upon him in a manner which has caused him to be one of the best-liked men in the school. His election to Skull is a recognition of this fact. Ability of this kind is rare and success in later life is bound to be the result. May good luck be with you forever, George.

For four long years he has practised constantly with the scrubs waiting for his one big chance to get into a game with the varsity football team. During those earlier years of inter-class struggles much of the success of ’33 was due to the presence of Magee on the class teams. If we combine this trait with his native ability in things engineering, we cannot help but predict a successful future for him.

Jock is an individual whose fine traits of character are so well known that they hardly need to be men¬ tioned. It would be difficult to match anywhere the brand of football that Jock played for four years. Those of us who were fortunate enough to see Jock in the Brown game can not help but recall the inspired game that he played and the support that he was to the morale of the team. His interest in Tech affairs did not end with the football season, for where real support was needed, Jock was always there. A fine athlete, a real leader, a true friend, and a gentleman, we are all proud to have known him. mi dii IT II1HIII I1IF HIP IMF HID HID 1111. IMF IIIR JOHN SCOTT MALONEY “John S.” “J.

He goes on and on like a brook, but also like it, to some well known end, a goal. “If you want something done, ask a busy man to do it,” certainly is true with Johnny, for no matter what you may ask him to do, the reply is always a cheery, “Sure Enough!” and your task is as good as finished.

When one considers the mountainous jobs of captaining the rifle team, presiding over the Y, the Tech Council, the Musical Association, and a score of others, we can easily see why he has been one of the most respected members of the class. Man-hole has the all-marvelous ability to do well in everything he attempts. Wright is a true gentleman and his ability is equalled only by his modesty.

He is far from being a frivolous chap, but he abided by the trite statement, “Undergraduate engi¬ neers are noted for their extra-curricula activities.” Dick was a consistent student; thoughts of failures never had any occasion to bother him. He played games for all they were worth and was reputed to be a participant who used his head. (Pardon the interclass soccer game, please.) These characteristics commend him for a suc¬ cessful near-future. During his Senior Year this mechan¬ ically-minded fellow became smilingly worried over his excess avoirdupois. “Oh you can’t do a thing!” JOHN JOSEPH MOLLOY, JR. “J.

Although a native of Hartford, Ct., it didn’t take Johnny long to become well acquainted here on the Hill and by the way, in the rest of Worcester! It is safe to say that no one has done more for Tech and at the same time got as much out of four short years as John has. At football, a slashing end; at baseball, a scrappy catcher; and something of a basketball player, too! Johnny also found time to take part in the activities of the Masque and was a loyal supporter of all activities as well as a student. His motto might well be, “Always a worker, always a winner.” FRANCIS COCHRANE MOORE “Moon” Civil: Prep: Amherst High School Address: 10 Allen St., Amherst, Mass. Rope-Pull, (1, 2); A. S. C. E.

He is happiest when he is under the hood of his Ford wondering what is wrong with the carburetor or the ignition .system.

In his deliberate and de¬ termined manner he will stir up something, we hope. Nick went his way quietly and modestly and spoke in an entertaining low drawl. He did not always agree with the instructor’s figures on his own quiz papers, but we know instructors are not perfect. He was a hard- worker in class, but outside of class we feel sure that he spent his efforts along the more successful paths of a Don Juan.

Good things come in small innocent looking packages —so does T.N.T. We found this out in the fall of 1929. We also found that that same small package of T.N.T. could last a long time. Zuckie’s first big achieve¬ ment was the unheard-of feat of reading his famous English literature book from cover to cover. Zuckie kept plugging away and was at last rewarded with the much coveted Tau Bete key. But all this drive was not confined to his books, for if we follow Zuckie’s path for the last four years, we find his finger in many a pie. He is a hard dependable worker who we know will go on making just as many friends as he leaves behind him here at Tech.

But Perk has come thru in four years and at the same time has been ever present at Tech affairs. He has tried everything from golf to pole vaulting, becoming master of none but familiar with all. He has found complete success, however, in the art of repairing and managing model T Fords, making many a trip to Ver¬ mont, Newton Square, and Chaffins with no brakes or trouble. If graduation finds him with no job, his present plans point towards the raising and marketing of good Ver¬ mont spuds.

Not content with making his letter in football he tried his hand at baseball and managed the team this spring. Besides varsity sports, Bob has starred on interfrater¬ nity basketball, baseball, bowling and swimming teams. When he had nothing better to do, he studied enough to have his name appear consistently on the honor roll. Bob has long been one of Tech’s social lions.

While on the job he managed to get enough studying done so that his name appeared constantly on the honor list, usually alone at the top of the sheet. But in spite of putting in most of his time down town, Freddy did his share of the work in giving the football team plenty of opposition during his Junior year, and every year ap¬ peared on the diamond during interfraternity baseball.

Glee Club; Masque; Camera Club. Wes says he wants to be a teacher on account of the summer vacations they get, and besides, it runs in the family. He chose the General Science course with that end in view, and from the number of advanced Physics and Mathematic courses he elected, and passed without apparently doing much work, we know he II be success¬ ful at it. Wes is quiet and retiring, but maybe he isn ' t so lazy as he tries to make people believe, because he plans to come back for more at good old W. P. I. next year, and try for an M. S. JOHN WILLIAM RIGNEY “Rig” Chemist: Prep: Meriden High School Address: 95 S. Vine St., Meriden, Ct. Newman Club; Skeptical Chymist. Rigney hails from Meriden. His delightful humor has made for him a host of friends. His everlasting smile is disturbed only when “Doc” asks for clean, dry test- tubes, or when his class-mates want to borrow litmus paper. Overwhelmed by the intricacies of Organic Chemistry, Benzene’s smile wavered, but Rigney was made of sterner stuff and back came the same smiling, unassuming Benzene. A winning personality, an engag¬ ing smile combined with a ready wit, and an everlasting humor assures him of friends and success wherever he may turn. FRANKLIN BALLOU ROBERTS “Frank” A X A Aeronautic: Prep: Chicopee High School Address: 13 Davenport St., Chicopee, Mass. Junior Prom Committee; A. S. M. E. After the four years of work that Frank has put in at Tech he is surely entitled to his well earned sheep¬ skin. Frank enjoyed the well-known Tech atmosphere so well, as shown by his four year scholarship honor record, that he became one of Pinkie’s aeronaut pro¬ tegees. Frank seems quiet and unassuming to those that do not know him, but his friends know that he enjoys a “rough house” as well as anyone and his nimble fingers have gained him a reputation for red-hot rythym. More than one fellow has often wondered what Frank’s record might have been if those hours spent every night in writing much about nothing to some one in particular had been spent on school work. Frank’s oft repeated question, “Going to Chicopee?” will not be forgotten soon and we wish him the best of luck there and in all his endeavors. Seventy-five WARREN CLOUGH SALTMARSH “Salty” A T O Electric: Prep: Pembroke Academy Address: Suncook, N. H. Rope-Pull (1, 2) ; A. I. E. E.; Masque (Vice- President) ; Class Baseball. Salty may not always make his eight o’clock, but he surely is on time for his two five o’clocks a week. A familiar sight to residents on the turnpike between Worcester and Framingham is a little brown roadster automatically putting miles behind it. Salty is an elec¬ tric, but since the course in electric railway engineering has been omitted this year, he has had to turn to other means of rapid transit. Always with a cheery greeting and a “Heh, heh, fellers,” he has never, that is almost never, let a sign of pessimism enter into his associations with “ampmeters” and “phrony” brakes. JOHN CARL LUDWIG SHABECK, JR. “Jack” A T O T B n Mechanic: Prep: Moses Brown School Address: 143 Norwood Ave., Edgewood, R. I. Golf Squad; Manager Swimming; President Boat Club; Rifle Club; A. S. M. E. Here we have a serious hardworking student, who has little time for frivolity. Indeed, if there is anything that Jack likes better than study, it is more study. This is especially true of subjects dealing with motors and engines, in which subject he is especially adapted. Jack seems to have a great affinity for water, which can be shown by his being manager of the swimming team and commodore of the boat club. His determination to fin¬ ish completely that which he has undertaken, should make just as great a success of him in the business world as it has here at Tech. GORDON EGGLESTON SIGNOR 2 A E Electric: Prep: Waterbury High School Address: 520 Watertown Ave., Waterbury, Ct. Rifle Team; Banjo Club; Rifle Club; A. I. E. E. They say that Gordon is taking it easy for a while with the class of ’33 before he makes his big drive for a master’s degree. When the going became a little difficult in A. C. he always made things a little less difficult by informing us of the intricacy of the advanced A. C. courses. Not to be outdone by Maxie and his one ring circus, Gordon managed to bring his dog into the E. E. Design classes. Just as Plato excelled his master, we predict that time alone will grant Gordon a similiar position. Seventy-six nr iiihiii iue m hie hid ud iul hie mu mi m m CARL GEORGE SILVERBERG “Silvie” Chemist: Prep: Charlton High School Address: East Brookfield, Mass. Radio Club. Many a man has derived untold pleasures from a half¬ pint, but none so lasting as those derived from having met and become acquainted with Carl Silverberg. Small in stature only, he is a man of voluminous and pompous conversation. We will never forget those lab periods in which the tingling of broken glass heralded the presence of Silvie (or maybe Phillips did put the Institute water bill on Carl’s account). We wonder if that was the reason for his not being able to afford litmus paper this past year. It probably will not be many more moons before students will see the blackboard covered with ‘Reserve, C. G. S.’ WILLIAM ADDINGTON SLAGLE, JR. “ Bill” A X A Civil: Prep: Stamford High School Address: 13 Ivy St., Stamford, Conn. Rope-Pull (1, 2); Track (3); A. S. C. E.; Glee Club; Masque. Four years ago, Bill came up from the farthest corner of Connecticut with his ready smile and cheery greeting to join the Civils of ’33. The fact that he is one among the few straight Civils testifies to his ability in the classroom, and no matter how hard the profs try to stick him, Bill is always there with an answer, even in Stan’s class. His activities have not been confined to the class-room, as shown by his efforts on the track and in the Glee Club.—And when it comes to social affairs, Bill may be seen at most of them, tripping the light fantastic with one of Connecticut’s famous belles. Any¬ time, anywhere, when a fellow needs a friend, Bill is right there. ARTHUR EDWARD SMITH “Art” 0 Y O 2 H Aeronautic: Prep: South High School, Worcester Address: 2061 Huntington Turnpike, Nichols, Conn. Rope Pull (1, 2); Junior Prom Comm.; Tech Council; Junior Marshall; A. S. M. E. Art came to Tech for two reasons; first, and this is of lesser importance, to get a diploma, and second, so that he could live in Worcester and be near to a very dear, young friend of his. Art is a brilliant young man and has won high scholastic honors during his stay at Tech, this fact not being due to a great deal of plugging and hard work, but rather to a brilliant and clever mind. Art surely does hate horse-work, and at times it takes a regular magician to decipher his work. We won’t forget some of the remarks Pinkie passed concern¬ ing Art’s Strength problems. Nevertheless we are con¬ fident of Art’s success and wish this brilliant, friendly young fellow the very best of luck in his life to follow. IF IllHIII HIE LU2 HJE HID HID 111L HIE.-. II1R 111! QS 3 J CHARLES LEROY SMITH “Half Pint” A X A Chemist: Prep: Meriden, Conn. Address: Old Colony Rd., Meriden, Conn. Assistant Manager Football; Skeptical Chymists. Charlie is another fellow who hails from Connecticut. Although he is one of the smallest members of the class, he has more than his share of good nature, and an abil¬ ity to appreciate a good joke, even though he himself be the victim. When he came to Tech, he decided to join the ranks of that select group, the chemists, and it has been with them that his labors have been associated for the past four years. Although Charlie hasn’t made any definite plans for the future as yet, we all wish him success in whatever he does. FRANK EDGAR SPAULDING, JR. “Captain” Electric: Prep: West Haven High School, Yale Engineering School Address: 91 Church St., West Haven, Conn. A. I. E. E. After finding that the Sheffield School of Engineering could not offer him enough difficulty, Captain decided to try his hand with the rigours of an engineering edu¬ cation on the Hill. Cap is one of the most easily satis¬ fied fellows in the Institute. Or possibly it is just his unique ability to make a little thing go a long way, but at any rate, it is a known fact that Cap never fails to read and re-read his daily letter at least a dozen times, seemingly getting the same thrill out of each perusal. We of the class of ’33 are glad to have had him as one of us. JOHN CAMPBELL SPENCE “Jack” “Champ” T A Mechanic: Prep: Springfield Technical High School Address: 69 Foster St., Springfield, Mass. Class Football; Rope Pull; Football, “W,” (4). Champ gained early fame as a freshman as a charter member of the Brown Jug. He was always the terror of every rough-housing since his ponderous form has a terrible flattening effect on all his opponents. This abil¬ ity was of much advantage to the Tech eleven for the past two years as many of us can recall how Champ’s unyielding frame blocked many a play through his side of the line. Jack’s cares for the past four years have made him dwindle to just a shadow of his former self. Everybody loves a fat man and from all reports Champ is no exception.

North High School, Worcester Address: 37 Shaffner St., Worcester Class Auditor (3); Senior Councillor; Editor- in-Chief, Tech News; Skeptical Chymists. Although a persevering chemist, Sub always has time to drop his test tubes and flasks to place a guiding hand on the affairs of the News, grasp the Secretary’s pen, or dash off to Wheaton in his “Chev.” Wherever Tech men gather for frivolity and fun is he, be it a football game or dance. However, lest it be suspected that good times have claimed undue predominance in his career, suffice it to say that he wears both Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Xi keys, no doubt a happy augury of the success which rewards such faithful and untiring effort. EUGENE JOHN TEIR “Gene” © X Civil: Prep: Gardner High School Address: 122 Leamy St., Gardner, Mass. Football; Rope Pull; Assistant Business Man¬ ager, Tech News; Class Football; A. S. C. E. In the fall of 1929 another worthy son of Gardner descended upon Tech to uphold the honor of that fair city. For four long years Swede has struggled through the mysteries of the Civil Course and where many have failed he has succeeded. Besides, he has always found time to take part in the many activities on the Hill. That Swede will be a success as an engineer there is no doubt, and it is hoped that he will play the game of life with the same keenness that he plays bridge. PHILIP TRIPOLI “Trip” Friars Mechanic: Prep: Middletown High School Address: 465 High St., Middletown, Conn. Class Soccer; Soccer; Newman Club; A. S. M. E. Trip is the type that always stands up for his rights regardless of the consequences. We recall how he demonstrated this fine quality of character in some of the classes. Phil is beyond doubt well versed in the art of argumentation, for siding with him means emerg¬ ing triumphant from a good bull session. Trip claims that he is able to size up a person quite accurately by arguing with him. His sense of humor is extraordinary and when a joke is told his laugh resounds the loudest. He is a great sport follower and although not a real star in any event, he manages to do well in many, as may be evidenced by his participation in intramural sports.

Assistant Manager Baseball (3); Radio Club; Camera Club; Fencing Club; A. I. E. E. Big Hank is a man of parts, usually radio or automo¬ bile parts to be specific. Coming to Tech from the distant shores of Long Island, it didn’t take him long to learn to breeze along, getting a lot done with a minimum of effort. A familiar figure to the inhabitants of Worcester, either tearing around in his big green power-house on wheels, or else wandering down Main Street in his pajamas paying elections bets. We expect to see Hank coming back to alumni reunions in an air¬ ship of his own invention in the not too distant future. ERNEST OSWALD UNGERER “Ernie” i 2 K Electric: Prep: Chapman Technical High School Address: Uncasville, Conn. Track. Few there are that realize Ernie came to Tech after a sojourn teaching drawing down in Georgia. This, how¬ ever, proved too tame for him, and he came to Tech to get a real taste of the technical life. While here, Ernie has been on the jump.—as evidence the facts that he holds the school pole vault record and is still one jump ahead of the professors. Although he never tried out for the varsity, his speed on the basketball court is amazing,—in fact, one of the Civil instructors mistook him for a former player at Upsala. Socially, Ernie was always willing to go to a dance or party, and he always managed to have a good time. Consequently we feel Ernie has a great deal to look forward to. JEREMIAH HAMILTON VAIL “Jerry” © Y fl T B IT Skull Mechanic: Prep: Orient High School Address: King St., Orient, L. I., N. Y. Class President (3); Class Historian (2); Junior Marshall; Rope Pull (1, 2); Soph Hop Comm.; Junior Prom Comm.; Manager Basket¬ ball; Managing Editor, Tech News; Glee Club; Tech Council (2, 3, +) ; Athletic Council (3) ; Interfraternity Council (2, 3) ; A. S. M. E. Jerry is of the salesman type. A better mixer would be difficult to find. His nearly infallible memory has stood him in good stead both on and off the campus. There is a bit of the Walter Winchell in this fellow. The newsy bits (I just overhead) are spouted forth in conversation with Machine-Gun rapidity. Jerry rose to prominence in the class during his Junior year and has maintained his niche in the limelight. There is every indication that Jerry will outgrow the hometown and seek broader horizons. -IL-lllM HIE.

Joe has two bad weaknesses: one is a great desire to become a master of the terpsichorean art, and the other is a propensity to drive around in an old automobile of rare vintage. Don’t get the opinion that Mr. Virostek is always frivolous, for ’tis not true—dear me, no! Just ask any of the poor oppressed Electrics and they will tell you what a busy man our East Douglas repre¬ sentative is, running his taxi service. However, no matter if it’s a fellow or a girl, they agree that Joe’s a good fellow, and so we will have to thank East Douglas for sending us such a noble product. RALPH JOHNSON VOIGT Dutch” f 5 K Electric: Prep: Easthampton High School Address: 80 Maple St., Easthampton, Mass. Class Soccer (1) ; Rope Pull (1, 2) ; A. I. E. E. This suave member of the class hails from the same prosperous, bustling community that is famous for its prep school. After you break through the emotionless veil that shrouds Dutchy’s outer countenance you will find a mighty likeable chap who will do anything to help a comrade in times of distress and trouble. Dut chy is one of our embryo electrics, but seems to always find time for a game of cards. In fact, we understand that he is one of the day-study card-sharps and really thrives on Pinochle. His plans are a little bit uncertain for the present, but we are certain that he will be a credit to his Alma Mater. ALBERT STEPHEN WHITE, JR. A l” Electric: Prep: North High School, Worcester Address: 4 Trinity Ave., Worcester Radio Club. Al’s celebrity rests in no small measure on his ability to convince anybody, anywhere, and anytime, even him¬ self, on any side of any question in debate. It is prob¬ ably for this reason that he was able to convince him¬ self and the faculty that he wanted to be an electric. Al’s strong point is the saxophone, and it is said many a dance around Worcester has been a success because of hi s presence in the orchestra. He is really a very conscientious worker and it is in the classroom that A1 shows his talents; he has enviable traits of good fellow¬ ship and companionableness. Here’s luck to you, A1!

Goat’s Head Comm.; Tech Bible Board; Man¬ ager Track (4); Rope Pull (1, 2); A. S. C. E. Few fellows at Tech have made a wider circle of friends than has Buck. He has not confined his friend¬ ship to his own fraternity or class. The whole college has been his field and is a brighter, happier place be¬ cause of it. It has been noticed too, that his girl friends are nearly as numerous. His ability to convince the Civil profs regularly that he is an authority on some¬ thing beside radio programs, despite his numerous ac¬ tivities on and off the Hill, won him a place in Sigma Xi and Tau Bete. These facts together with his un¬ usually pleasant personality, give him a perfect start for a successful engineering career. CHARLES WOLK “Charlie” 2fl ' l ' Electric: Prep: Worcester Classical High Address: 64 Arthur St., Worcester, Mass. Swimming Team. Anyone who has been absent from a scene of activity on the hill need not be perturbed, for he can be certain that Charlie has gathered all the important facts of the case into his Tech Notes in the Evening Gazette. Be¬ tween classes, this news-hound can be seen dashing be¬ tween Pop Adams’ and Doc Carpenter’s offices for news. Not only this, but Charlie has done some interclass swimming and can also drop a basketball through the hoop with ease. Charlie’s ready smile has won for him a host of friends on the campus. If he keeps up his good work, Charlie wont need to worry about any de¬ pression.

E.; Jr. Editor Peddler; Advertising Manager Peddler. “Al” came to us from Brattleboro, Vt., but since that time he has migrated to dear old Ohio. He certainly did hide himself under his books for his first two years but as we all know “pleasure will out sometime,” as it has these last two years. Al has been elected to the two scholastic societies on the hill; he has been our hand¬ some head cheer leader and what a job he does. With his keen eye he was the star in the interfraternity basket¬ ball league. Besides being a star Civil student, he is also one of the editors of the Peddler. Here’s to a lad who has all one needs to conquer the universe. The Phantom List Melvin G. Adams Ralph H. Allen William H. Anderson Frederick R. Asserson George W. Banks Earl C. Barton Wesley O.

J11EL Jie_HIE_HID_UD_LLLL_U1E_ Football 1932 URING the last two weeks of fall Shop Practice a very small delegation of men reported for football, in fact there were not enough for a scrimmage. But within two days after school opened Pete Bigler had some forty-five men on the squad. It looked like just an average team at this time, with a large amount of first year men, who were unknown quantities. Displaying a lack of offensive, but a strong defense, the Tech football team fought to a scoreless tie in their first game with the Coast Guard Academy. Throughout the game the engineers were on the defensive although the Coast Guard team was successfully turned back at all crucial moments. Roy Swenson, diminutive Sophomore half-back shot through the line several times to evade a good part of the secondary defense. The game opened with Tech receiving on their 30-yard line and running several slight gains. The ball changed hands rapidly, after Sodano’s fumble, Drake intercepted a Coast Guard pass and ran it back ten yards. Throughout the quarter the ball see-sawed back and forth in a punting duel in which Tech gained nothing. The second quarter opened as the Guardsmen uncorked a drive netting two first downs, which was stopped on the Tech 20-yard line as Capt. Maggiacomo recovered a fumble. Twice more the Engineers’ goal line was threatened. In the third quarter the Coast Guard continually drove the ball within scoring distance, only to be repulsed. The quarter ended with the ball on Tech’s 3-yard line in the Boyntonians’ possession. After punting out of danger the Tech eleven rallied and held their opponents even, neither team approaching the other’s goal line. In this manner the quarter ended, neither team able to gain. A finely balanced and strengthened Worcester Tech team chalked up its first victory of the season on Saturday, October 9. Consistent gains by Noreika, Drago and Sodano, coupled with long, high punts and accurate passes by the afore-mentioned Noreika, enabled the Engineers to keep Trinity on the defensive. The only touchdown of the game occurred in the first minute of play. Johnny Molloy charged through and blocked a kick so successfully that the pigskin came to rest on Trinity’s 32-yard line; Tom Drago skirted right end with excellent interference to mark up six points for the home team. Johnny Noreika kicked the extra point. After Tech’s only sustained drive Trinity stiffened and took possession of the ball on downs. With Trinity in possession at mid-field, in the second half, Tom Drago intercepted a pass to dampen the visitors’ aspirations. After a series of punts and running plays Johnny Noreika uncorked a beautiful low, fast pass from the enemy 40-yard line which was snared by Molloy for a first down. Sodano then ripped off five yards. Noreika took the ball, got free, and seemed headed for a touchdown. However, he fumbled only a yard from the goal line and Trinity recovered. The latter immediately punted and held Tech Mat giacomo One hundred four for but eight yards as the quarter ended. In the last period Trinity got two first downs in succession. The Tech line stiffened, held and the game came uneventfully to a close. The running, passing, and punting of Noreika was a feature of the game. Molloy, Maggiacomo, and Lawton were outstanding on the defense and few plays got past them. Despite an aerial attack which completed twenty-one forward passes out of thirty-four Worcester Tech won a decisive 15-6 victory over the Cadets at Northfield, on the sixteenth of October. Tech scored in the early minutes of the game when Noreika shot a pass to Molloy, who in turn slipped the pigskin to Gould who dashed over the line. Noreika kicked the extra point, —score 7-0. In the second quarter the Engineers marched down the field from their own 20-yard line. Again Gould made the touchdown on a line play. The last period brought a touchdown for the Cadets on a 50-yard run by Ralston. The Norwich men twice came within the Engineer’s 10-yard line, but they could get no further. Hodgkinson smothered a Norwich pass behind the line for a safety in the last quarter. Unable to stop Louis Bush, the Worcester Tech football team went down to defeat at the hands of Massachusetts State College at Amherst on October the twenty-third. Tech supporters saw a diminutive IMass. State back score three touchdowns. Earl in the first period Bush took a punt on his own forty and ran it back 20 yards. Two plays later Bush again took the ball and didn’t stop till he had crossed the goal. Soon afterwards Sheff made Mass. State’s second touchdown. Later, with Johnny Noreika in the lineup, things looked brighter but a punt proved disastrous, for Bush, receiving, ran more than half the field for his second touchdown. Bush gained thirty yards on a pass and on the next play ran another thirty yards for State’s final touchdown. Frigard added the extra point. After a week of strenuous practice Tech huskies lost to Arnold with a score of 13-0. Two passes by Noreika were intercepted. Tech opened up with a strong drive down the field, but stopped before they got within scoring distance. In the second quarter a field goal w as blocked by Johnny Molloy, giving the ball to Tech. Gould punted to Arnold but it w r as fumbled and recovered by Molloy. T ech then gained three successive first downs. With the ball on the 3-yard stripe, I ech lost an excel¬ lent opportunity to score. 1 he third quarter saw Arnolds first scoie. In the List quarter ' Lech’s hopes w ere shattered when another pass was intercepted by Mantelli. On the next play Arnold scored on a lateral pass. Worcester Tech’s football team swmng into the winning column again defeating Rhode Island State team 12-0. Scoring early in the first period, again in the last period, the Engineers showed themselves to be a distinctly superior combination. Noreika kicked off to Kiselico, wTo ran twenty-three yards to his own 38-yard line. On third down Hodgkinson and Molloy proved themselves heroes by breaking up the kick, the ball w r as recovered by Molloy. Gould was held for no gain, the ball was given to Hiller, who slipped off right tackle for the touchdown. The last period opened with Tech in possession on her own 34-yard line. A determined assault netted One hundred five three first downs. Rhode Island finally stopped the advance and Drake punted. After an exchange of punts, the break came when Noreika ran back from his own 40 to State’s 25-yard line. A hard drive brought the ball to the four-yard line. Then came a play in which every man in the Tech backfield handled the ball, Sodano finally carried it over standing up. Tech missed the extra point. Staging a last period comeback which seemed like a movie thriller, the Worcester Tech gridsters came from behind to down their ancient rival, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on November thirteenth, by a score of 13 to 12. There was plenty of action from the opening whistle till the final toot of the timer’s horn, and repeated exchanges of punts were noticeably lacking. Gould was outstanding in the backfield while Mag- giacomo repeatedly smeared Rensselaer’s plays behind the line of scrimmage; Molloy and McNulty were everywhere, getting down fast under punts, snatching passes from amid scarlet (cherry) jerseys, and blocking place kicks which would have given the visitors possible victory, had they been completed. Rensselaer kicked off and Mike Sodano ran the ball back twenty yards to his own forty. Tech advanced the ball to Rensselaer’s twenty-one. On the fourth down Gould hurled a long hard pass. It settled in the arms of Tom McNulty, thirty-five yards away, making it W.P.I.—6, R.P.I.—0. Sodano’s try for the extra point failed. In the second half R.P.I in possession on the forty-five yard line, marched down the field for a touchdown. Tom McNulty blocked the kick for the extra point. Sawyer replaced Root for Rensselaer, and repeatedly ripped off five yard gains. After two long gains by him, Maxwell and Downes brought the ball to the four yard line. Sawyer gained two, and Maxwell dove over for a score. The kick was blocked. Things looked pretty bad with the score 12—6 with five minutes left. Continued driving brought the ball down to Rensselaer’s twenty-five. Gould made a beautiful catch of a pass from Noreika for a twelve yard gain and after two successive bucks by Gould, Noreika made it first down on the two and one-half yard line. After losing two Edgeworth took the ball and carried it across the line for a touchdown. Noreika then calmly booted the ball for the point that won the game. With one minute to play, Rensselaer desperately tried an aerial attack, but Molloy intercepted a pass and the whistle blew with the ball in Tech’s possession. The record that the football team hung up for the season of 1932 is one to be greatly envied. The final count of only two losses, one tie, and four wins seems to owe a great deal to the first year men, among them Drago and Gould, who helped supply that punch that was characteristic of the team during the entire season. In spite of the fact that such veterans as Capt. Maggiacomo, Fogg, Spence, Molloy, Sodano, and Drake will be lost this June, the outlook for next fall is very bright, and will cer¬ tainly prove so if the incoming class turns out as well as has the class of ’35.

Jfc Basketball 1932 - 1933 Tj ' OUR victories out of sixteen games is the best that Tech ' s basketball team can boast of for the past season. Start¬ ing out with but one man who had earned a varsity position the year before, Coach Bigler had to build up his squad around Captain Gartrell. Injuries and mid-year examina¬ tions conspired to break up various combinations and the team was forced into a luckless season. H owever, there is one bright light when looking over the defeats of the season. Two of the games were lost by only one point margins and two others by a four point edge. A slight bit of luck in favor of the wearers of the Crimson and Gray would have changed the results of these games and given the team a much more creditable season. The usual two victories over Clark and one apiece over Northeastern and Brown were the bright spots in the sched¬ ule of the Tech team. Beginning the season with Captain Gartrell as the only man who had played to any extent on the Varsity and Tack Hammer who had played off and on with the varsity, Coach Bigler was faced with the problem of filling the positions left vacant by Bill A v sp, Russ Purrington, Bill Cullen, and Johnny Smith who starred last year and had graduated or played the allotted time. Johnny Noreika, last year letter man did not report at the beginning of the practice sessions. Playing in the first two games with Captain Gartrell and Tack Hammer were Tom Ratkiewich, who previously had been kept off the squad by doctor’s orders, Mike Skwarek former second string man and varsity substitute, and George Hodgkinson who was also a second team player and varsity sub. The first encounter resulted in a defeat at the hands of Boston University in the season’s opener in the Alumni Gym, 32—22. Following that the team traveled to New London, Conn., and were again defeated, this time by the Coast Guard Academy by a score of 30—26. Following the Christmas recess, a change in the makeup of the team took place. Johnny Noreika reported for duty and was immediately placed at guard taking Skwarek’s place while “Mike” was moved to the center position. Hodgkinson retired together with Hammer who was replaced at forward by Decker who had been alter¬ nating with Hammer and Norton at that berth. Despite the change, the team went down to defeat, 32—19, at the hands of a strong Trinity aggregation at Alumni Gym before a large crowd. On the following Thursday night led by Captain Gartrell, the team hung up a victory at the expense of Northeastern, 40—37. The following Satur¬ day night the same team played a fast and loose game with the Bruins at Providence and won by the score of 41 to 32. The optimism that arose immediately afterward was short lived, when following a cold trip to Durham, New Hampshire State squeezed out a 28—27 victory. In this game Tom Ratkiewich was disabled by a badly sprained ankle, so when Tufts ap¬ peared on Saturday night he was still below form and the team was slowed up con- Gartrell One hundred eight nr IIIHIII IMF HIP IMF HID HID MIL HIE _ HR_HU_—Jk siderably resulting in a victory for the Jumbos, 38—27. Then came the zero hour in Coach Bigler’s winter season. Midyears came along and caused the withdrawal of a stellar defense man and a sub center. On top of this disaster along came the strong Springfield College troupe with two strong teams and the Crimson and Gray colors were lowered by a score of 44-26. Suskaskus, a sophomore, played the vacated guard position in a commendable manner. During the next week the team broke even, losing to Conn. State 29—25 and on Saturday smothering their local rivals 44—27. The team turned in their best play of the season led by the smooth playing of Gartrell, Decker, and Sukaskus. The form displayed by the team against Clark disappeared over the week end and on Tuesday night the Wesleyan five sent the Tech team home from Middletown on the short end of a 33-26 score. Upsala College came to Worcester on Washington’s birthday and won from a fighting Engineer team by one point in the last minute of play. The final count was 35-34. The same week a return game with Clark y a i resulted in the last victory for Tech. Even that game came very near being a defeat but with true courage and spirit the Biglermen came through in the last half to win 32—28. The last three games of the season were defeats, Bush the mainstay of Mass. State in downing the Tech football team again served the same role and the Crimson and Gray squad returned home downcast, 46—29. 1 he Providence College friars also showered the boys with more gloom during the week end by whipping them 46-22. Rhode Island State completed the season for Tech by presenting a 49—28 defeat to them at Kingston, R. I. With Captain Gartrell and Tom Decker the only first string men graduating, Coach Bigler will have a much more experienced nucleus about which to build next year. Mike Skwarek, Johnny Noreika, Joe Sukaskus, regulars at the end of the season, and with the various members of the Freshmen team who replaced the usual second team this year will make up the bulk of the material for next year. The Freshman team replacing the usual second team played a schedule of seven games and collected three victories and four defeats. 1 he victories were at the ex¬ pense of the Clark seconds, the Boys Club and Classical High while against South High, North High, Commerce High and the Springfield College seconds, the team was unsuccessful.

The first contest was the week of the opening of school so it was with only two days of practice that the team went to Amherst. Here, the team was defeated to the tune of 3 to 0, although the defense was good. In the second game on October 8 the boys fared better. This game was with Mass. State and was played on Alumni Field. The score of this game was more cheering as the visitors were held to only two goals while Borden, with the help of Monks and Hammer, was able to score for Tech. On October 15 the team made a trip to Wesleyan and was again defeated. The main part of. the struggle was between the two goal tenders throughout this game and Sargent performed very well, allowing only two scores. On October 22 the Tech team played at the Conn. Agri¬ cultural College. This game was the first win of the season, the score being 4 to 0. In this tussle Borden sank two goals in the third quarter with Brand adding a third for that quarter. In the fourth period the final goal was made by Monks. 1 his game gave the boys confidence and showed that the team was improving rapidly. The game with New Bedford I extile on October 29, showed that this was so. This team, reputed to be one of the strongest, was defeated by a score of 2 to 1. 1 he first goal was made by Monks and the second was added by Captain Allen when he was given a penalty kick. After this lead was established, the team effectively kept the opponents from scoring in spite of the very determined offense. On November 5 Clark took to the road to visit us and was sent home with a 5 to 0 defeat. Borden, Lyman and Sherwin were the stars of the game. One of the men lost for this game was Monks who, through an infected leg, was out for the remainder of the season. The last of this season’s games occurred at Tufts where the winning streak of the team was broken by a setback of 3 to 1. This lone score was made by the halfback Luce on a long shot for the goal. One of the reasons for the defeat was the fact that Lyman, Monks and Hebei were unable to fill their usual places on the team. Lyman, Allen, Tripoli and Hammer are to graduate this June and they will be missed next year at the start of the season. H owever, there is promising material in the present freshman class and with more coming in in the fall, Tech ought to have a team as good as ever with Coach Higgin- bottom at the helm.

The colorful relay team made up of Harry Jensen, Ken Moran, Paul Sullivan, and Stan Beebe as well as Boh Gould the freshman star enjoyed a very successful season. The track team opened at Brown on January 21, and was defeated by a score of 42-34. The outstanding man of the meet was Harry Jensen, the iron man, who won the 300 and the 600, and ran on the winning relay quartet. Joe Doyle ran the most sensational race of his career by beating Mavhew of Brown in the mile run in the creditable time of 4:52. The other members of the team who picked up points were Beebe with a third in the 300 and Moran in the 600. Denning ran well in the 1000 by placing second to Lee, the Brown star. The meet was a tremendous success, even in Lyman defeat, as it was a close affair and, creditable to lech that it was able to hold a large college team to such a close score. The Tech relay team held the spotlight for the next month with two victories and one defeat. At the Boston Garden in the first relay encounter of the year Tech was pitted against Mass. State and Rhode Island State. Tech was represented by Stan Beebe, Ken Moran, Paul Sullivan and Harry Jensen who ran in that order. Beebe, as lead off man for Tech brought in a four yard lead which was never threatened and brought the Tech team home victors by forty yards. I he time for this mile relay was 3 :35 flat which sets an all time Tech record, breaking the old record by one and two-fifths seconds. The relay team was scheduled to meet Brown and Colby in the B.A.A. games on February 11 and came through with a close victory in the time of 3 :36. Bob Gould was the new member of the team replacing Stan Beebe. This race was closely con¬ tested from the start. Ken Moran was the lead off man and brought in a two yard lead to Bob Gould who fought valiantly, but only battled his man to an even race. Paul Sullivan was unable to do better, and when Jensen received the baton he was seven yards behind. He sprinted to pass Lee, Brown anchor man, and on the last turn was pushed off the track, but managed to tie Lee for first in the mad scramble to the tape Colby was third. Whittum and Blake Brown was disqualified and the race was awarded to Tech. The time, which was a second slower than the week previous was due to the strain of exam week.

The team for this meet was composed of Beebe, Moran, Sullivan, and Jensen. Bob Gould was unable to participate accord¬ ing to Intercollegiate rules. The races were based on comparative times. Tech’s lead-off man Stan Beebe was pitted against a strong Colby lead-off man. Ken Moran running second was able to bring the race back to even terms. Brown was out of the race after the first leg. Paul Sullivan ran a good race and managed to give Harry Jensen an even start with Williams of Colby. The last leg was a thriller from start to finish, Williams just nosing out Jensen of Tech for first place. The time for this race was 3:33 flat and broke by two seconds, the record by this team two weeks previously. This record stands because the team times were recorded on a team time basis, thus making Tech the second team in its class at the Garden that night. The times of the men on the team were all below 54:00 seconds for each leg. Beebe was credited with 54, Sullivan was clocked in 53:8, Moran in 52:2 and Harry Jensen, the Tech relay captain was timed in 51:00 seconds; this a record which will probably stand for some time. Next year’s team will find all the members returning except Jensen, whose place can be filled with Bob Gould.

Moran The last appearance of the indoor track team was at Mass. State on Washington’s Birthday. The Tech team was victorious by a score of 49-23. The outstanding performers led by Captain George Lyman, were Harry Jensen who won the 300, took second in the 45 yard dash and tied for first in the 600 with Ken Moran. Lyman and Whitcomb tied for first in the high jump and Jack McGrath, a freshman was a victor in the hurdles, thereby making his letter. T his meet closed the 1933 indoor track season which was very commendable. Mention may be made here that the track forces for next year are very promising after this year’s showing. Probably the most outstanding man in track circles here at Tech in many years is Harry Jensen who has been a big factor in Tech victories for four seasons. In Jensen’s four years of remarkable performance, his greatest value has been found in anchoring Tech’s victorious relay teams. Jensen has hung up a record which will stand for a long time. Capt. George Lyman, another senior has also been a steady performer in Tech track circles. Lyman has been a consistent point man in the hurdles. Mike Sodano also leaves us with a school record to his credit in the javelin. One hundred fifteen 1932 Track Season The members of the 1932 outdoor track team made an enviable record by decisively defeating their opponents in three dual meets, and in the Eastern Intercollegiates at Alumni Field failed by one point to win the title. It was one of the most successful seasons that the Tech track and field forces have enjoyed. The team opened at Nickerson field in Boston where they faced the Boston Uni¬ versity aggregation and won by a decisive margin of 92—43. The Tech team took nine firsts and twelve seconds. The highlights of the day were Lyman’s victory in the hurdles, Kalista’s first in the hammer, second in the shot and second in the discus. Joe Doyle ran a beautiful half mile to nose out the Boston University entrant, while his running mate, Stan Brewer, took a second in the mile run which was won by Vinny Buell, Nick Nyquist and Ken Moran came in one-two in the quarter. In the second meet of the season with Tufts, Tech was victorious by the impressive score of 101—34. The Tech outfit scored eleven firsts out of fifteen, which was well for the Tech team. Outstanding in the meet were Lyman and Sonny South. Sonny collected two firsts, winning the century and the furlong. Lyman had a first to his credit in the high hurdles and a second in the lows. Three men made their letters in this meet. Frary won the two mile run. Bill Denning triumped in the quarter in which Nick Nyquist was second. Ken Moran, a freshman won the half mile to make his letter for the first time. Kalista broke the record in the discus held by Hunt of ’20, with a heave of 120 ft. In this meet George scored sixteen points. It is interesting to note that Tech had a well balanced team, being formidable in the field events as well as the track events. The third straight win was over a highly touted Mass. State team at Alumni field on May 7. It was held in conjunction with the schoolboy meet. This meet produced a new star in the name of Harry Jensen who won the feature event of the day, the 440, in the good time of 52 seconds flat. Lyman was a victor in the high and low hurdles again, Sonny South a winner in the century and furlong, Kalista performed in his usual manner by scoring twelve points. Tech won this meet by a score of 85—50. The fourth time that our team appeared was at the Eastern Intercollegiate meet held at Worcester on May 14 in which seven equally matched teams battled for first place. This meet was of more interest than in the past as two teams Northeastern and Springfield agreed not to compete. As a result the final contest was between Tech and Rhode Island State. Tech succeeded in qualifying nine men, as against ten for Rhode Island, in the preliminaries which were held in the morning. In the finals Tech fought for every inch, losing however, to Rhode Island State by a single point. Kraushe of Rhode Island State gathered the largest number of points, thirteen, while South of Tech and Crawford of Mass. State tied for second honors with ten apiece.

The team journeyed to Providence on Friday, May 20, to compete in the New England Intercollegiates trials. Unfortunately, we failed to place a man. This brought the curtain down on the 1932 track season, which on the whole was a very successful one. Prospects for next year are very bright and Coach Johnstone is look¬ ing forward to another victorious team. It might be well to mention here, that two school records were broken during this season.

In the nine games which were played, Tech came out on top, by winning five, losing three, while one contest was tied. The prospects of a good season seemed slight before the season began, on account of the lack of good pitchers. However, “Hooker” Terry came to the rescue by developing into a very effective moundsman. He was aided considerably by Russ Purrington. Between these two the enemies bats were silenced to a great extent. The first game was played against New Hampshire State. It was a clear, bitter cold day. On account of this fact the game was called at the end of the ninth inning although the score was 8 to 8. Terry demonstrated his ability by holding the opposing batsmen to one hit in the four innings which he pitched. In weather similar to that in which the N.H.S. game was played, but with the addition of snow squalls to provide variety, Tech won 4 to 3. from Trinity. It was one of the hardest fought games of the season, the result being in doubt until Noreika’s hit in the last inning drove in the winning run. Terry allowed only six hits and struck out seven men. The team suffered its first defeat at the hands of Norwich University by the score of 9 to 6. Tech seemed to be on the road to victory until the sixth inning when Pur¬ rington blew-up and the whole team seemed to go stale. In the first game with our great rival, Clark University, the team found little difficulty administering another sound beating to them. 1 hough the score, 4 to 3, was close it was bv no means an indication that the game was likewise for the Tech team played with a devil-may-care attitude. On May 7, the team travelled down to Boston to play Northeastern University. The play was listless in this game, the only shining light was Johnny Molloy’s pegging to second where he caught five men. 1 he final score in this game was 4 to 0. Another hard fought game was that played with Rhode Island State. The outcome of the contest was not decided until the tenth inning when Rhode Island shoved the win¬ ning run across and won by the score of 3 to 2. 1 erry was performing like an old trouper, his pitching being most effective. Tech made another entry in its list of victories by down¬ ing Mass. State 11 to 7. Tech got full value from its hits in this game, scoring 11 runs on 12 hits. In this game the team began a hitting streak which lasted until the end of the season. Leach, Gartrell and Lanciault were the big guns in this fiesta.

IMF lllR. 1111 flH jfr J The ignominy of being held to a scoreless tie by the foot¬ ball team from Arnold College was avenged in baseball by an 8 to 6 victory. The Arnold pitcher was wild, but his team was in the fight until Terry was sent in for Purrington. Terry, as usual, took immediate control of the situation. The final game of the year was another of the now-famous Clark-Tech melodramas with Clark fighting bravely, but in vain, against the conquering engineers. The final score of the game was 9 to 0. This game brought to a close the athletic careers of several Tech Seniors. Most prominent among these was Bill Asp. Others were Terry, who was one of the most prominent figures in Tech’s five victories; Leach, the handsome fellow who played well at second base; Hansen, the lond-armed chap in right field ; Purrington, who pitched some excellent games; and, last but by no means least our erstwhile captain, Bert Lanciault, who played centerfield and came in handy whenever a hit meant a run or a rally. Thus, Pete Bigler’s appetite for a majority of wins was once again sated and the curtain was rung down on a most successful season. “Pete” Bigler One hundred twenty UT IllHIII IMF 1I1P HIE _HID_HD_HU_HIE_UlB._HH_J 3k.

The local lads took seven of a possible nine places, making an auspicious start for a successful season. Coach Grant’s men further added to their laurels when they invaded the precincts of a strong Wesleyan aggrega¬ tion, winning by a score 46—31. With two decisive victories tucked under their belts, the Crimson and Gray natators bowed to a powerful Spring- field team to the tune of 60—17 in the Fuller Pool. How¬ ever, the meet was by no means one-sided, and Springfield had to fight for every point. S tabeck After a short period of inactivity, the locals suffered a second defeat at the hands of the Trinity natators. The score being 37—34. It was a closely fought battle. Franklin and Falvey gained in¬ dividual honors, smashing records in the backstroke and breaststroke respectively. Under the sting of two defeats, the locals emerged victors in successive meets three days apart. The first of these was against Boston University, in an evenly matched encounter, ending in a score of 41—36. Franklin again came through, breaking the college record in the backstroke. The second victim was Amherst. In this set-to the strong Amherst team came out on the short end of a 45—32 score. Falvey swam a good race to win the 220 yd. breaststroke, while Franklin lowered his own backstroke record by two-fifths of a second. Force tied the pool record in the 40 yd. dash. In the final duel meet of the season, an undermanned Bowdoin aggregation suffered a 58—18 setback. In this, his last college meet, Capt. Joe Fogg won the diving, dis¬ playing his usual steady consistent form of the entire past season. Franklin starred again, tying Osipowich’s record of 56 in the century, and at the same time breaking the 220 record. Falvey also shared honors setting a new pool record in the breaststroke. In the New England Intercollegiates, a series of upsets forced Tech to be content with sixth place. How r ever, with men like Franklin, Falvey, Wiley, McNulty, and Force, with us next year; the Crimson and Gray natators show pros¬ pects of having another successful season.

Co-captains Wilson and Cor- sini, Alber, Carlson, Palmer and Sanderson made up the team, which had the earmarks of the finest ever to represent W.P.I. Sanderson was the only new addition to the squad, and his success in all his matches proved that confidence in this port-sided newcomer was not misplaced. After suffering a momentary setback at the hands of Trinity on April 27, the Engineers quickly recovered and won the next four matches. The first victory was hung up at the expense of Vermont, the score being 4 to 3. On April 4, the Engineers journeyed across the city to play a match with Holy Cross. Wilson and Sanderson came through in a close doubles match to win by a single point. Bowdoin was the next to fall and this win was repeated a few days later at the expense of Middlebury. Again on May 14, Tech pinned a 6 to 3 setback on Providence. This string of victories was broken by a strong Springfield team on the Springfield home courts. Palmer and Carlson were the only Tech men able to annex a point, thus leaving the score 7 to 2. The following Saturday the Engineers again garnered a victory, this time over Clark. This match was somewhat marred by rain but that did not prevent Tech from getting a 5 to 0 victory. Full of confidence the racquet-swingers from the Hill went to Medford to meet the Tufts representatives in the final match of the season. As a fitting climax for a successful season Tech won handily, 5 to 3. This victory brought the seasons total of wins to seven which compares very favorably to the two losses.

Captain Irwin Peterson, Paul Cheatham, “Art Andersen, “Whitey” Backstrom, and “Tony” Kowalski were those who again sought victory on the links for W.P.I. The only new member was “Dick” Merriam ’35, who ably demon¬ strated his golfing ability as he faced the keen competition furnished by the many other aspirants for a place on the team. The first match was with M.I.T. and was staged at the Wachusett Country Club in Worcester. After a close and exciting duel the M.I.T. golfers won by a 4 to 2 margin. On May 2, the Engineers faced their strongest opposi¬ tion of the season when they played Holy Cross. The match wound up with a 9 to 0 victory for the Crusaders. However, when the Bowdoin aggregation journeyed to Worcester, they were held to a 3 to 3 tie by Tech. The Engineers again tasted defeat at the hands of B.U. on May 5. Captain Peter¬ son lost a tough match on the eighteenth hole which might have turned the tables on the Terriers. Finally the Tech golfers fell into stride and easily took the next two matches. Providence College was the first to fall as Tech took matters its own way and the final score was 5 to 1. May 5 found the team at the Orchard Golf Club in South Hadley where it garnered its second victory. “Art” Ander¬ sen starred for the Tech players as they chalked up a 5 to 1 win. The last match was played on May 27, and marked the close of an eventful and exciting season. This match was with the strong Tufts team which was out to avenge the defeat by Tech during the preceding season. The visitors accomplished their purpose and forged ahead to win only by a narrow margin. In view of the difficult schedule the Golf Team had faced the 1932 session was considered a success and already the Institute is looking forward to similar or even better season for next year. gVVt Andersen One hundred twenty-six HIP HIE HID _11D_U1L_HIE_HIE.

The Council, serving as an advisory body, at its bi-weekly meetings, discusses and recommends policies or actions on general matters involving both faculty and students. Several activities during the year are under the direct supervision of the Council, notably the Tech Banquet held as an informal get-together of faculty and students, and the Tech “At Home” Day held during the spring to acquaint prospective stu¬ dents with the work of the college. Through the efforts of the Council increasing numbers of visitors are coming each year to see the Institute and to inspect the ex¬ hibitions of work displayed by the different departments. Various athletic contests receive attention from the Tech Council, for this organiza¬ tion for some time has awarded athletic charms to men graduating who have distinguished themselves in the major sports. It supervises the annual rope pull between the Sophomores and the Freshmen. More recently it has had charge of award¬ ing the goat’s head to the lower class having the greatest number of points in inter¬ class contests. Among the duties of the Council are such varied ones as appointing leaders for the exercises preceding the Fuller Lectures at which speakers of outstanding merit address the Institute; running occasional Saturday night dances in Sanford Riley Hall; keep¬ ing the student bulletin boards up to date, and acting as a clearing house of dates for students activities. Working always for the good of the Institute, the Council has used its influence to eliminate hazing and to substitute a less harmful expression of class discipline, such as the paddle rush staged at one of the early fall football games. The Council, as supervisor of the point system, has given much attention to the system, trying to devise a scheme whereby a student may participate in no more activities than he can serve in fairness to himself and to the organizations he serves. With the membership recently enlarged to include representatives not only of the four classes but of the numerous student activities, the Council attempts to work in¬ creasingly for the best interests of the student body and the Institute as a whole.

The present economic unrest has made it necessary to make many changes which were imperative for the success of such an undertaking. The printing of the book is entirely in one color. 1 he presentation of the faculty has been varied from the customary character sketches and it is felt that in this way the student body would be able to appreciate better the background of its faculty. The cover design has been taken from a familiar landmark on the campus. ' 1 he book is dedicated to Professor Charles M. Allen in appreciation of his noted work in hydraulics and his lengthy service to the Institute. Very appropriately, the art theme is hydraulic in its nature, and the pictures included are taken from projects in which Pro¬ fessor Allen has had a constructive interest. The feature section has been developed from material furnished by friends of the Peddler. The staff has depended upon the co-operation of the student body and the various student organizations and has not been disappointed. In order that a closer co-operation and a greater interest might be attained, the Peddler board recommends that in the future the student body be assessed as a whole for an amount that would insure the success of a year book of the same high quality. In this way each student would receive a book each of his four years for an amount much smaller than is paid by each member of the graduating class. It is further re¬ commended that each organization and student whose picture appears in the book be taxed for the cost of engraving so that the cost of each book be materially reduced. This policy would insure the continuance of a long family of successful annuals. One hundred sixty-one Tech N ews Staff Sumner B. Sweetser, ’33 . Editor-In-Chief Toseph H. Fogg, ’33 . News Editor J.

Since 1910 it has served to keep the student body and alumni of Tech informed of all the activities on Boynton Hill. In these twenty three years there has been slow but steady progress, and we believe that the Tech News can compare favorably with the publications of other colleges of corresponding size and character. The Tech News Staff started the year with but one principal purpose: to make the News more interesting to its readers. To accomplish this the Staff has endeavored to improve the type of news articles, the appearance of the make-up, and the subject matter of editorials. The Staff has always been under the handicap that much of the news which it printed was several days old and had already appeared in the local papers. 1 he only remedy for this has been to give athletic contests, the principal offenders along this line, less prominent and smaller amounts of space whenever possible, and stories with greater news value the more prominent positions. 1 his has resulted in some criticism that the athletic teams were not given the publicity they deserved. In order to have a paper with more than just bare news in it, such subjects as stories of new instructors, alumni, accounts of activities at other colleges, and summaries of interesting articles from engineering journals have been included from time to time. To meet the criticism that the front page of the News looked too solid, it has been cut up so that more articles could be started on the first page and continued inside. The types of heads on the front page were changed from week to week to secure as much variety as possible. Owing to the depression, advertising had to be taken v hen it came. This made an attractive make-up difficult because many times material, suf¬ ficient to fill six pages, had to be crowded into four to keep down expenses. The editorials which have appeared in the News have been mostly on timely topics which presented themselves by events around the campus. They were designed to stimulate rather than influence student opinion. Apparently that is not a safe or suc¬ cessful editorial policy, for practically the only editorials which have aroused any appreciable amount of student comment, have been those which met the hearty disap¬ proval of the faculty. The two features which have probably caused the most favorable comment on the Tech News this year were the series of articles entitled “Did ou Know? and the “Oh Tesh’’ column. The former, written by Professor Taylor, gave some interesting information on l ech as it was several decades ago. Paul Ciuernse r was responsible for the “Oh Tesh” column which gave to the whole college the benefit of little amusing incidents which would otherwise be confined to a small group.

It staged productions in 1893 and 1895. From 1895 to 1911, there was a lull in dramatic interests. Since 1911 it has been customary, with two exceptions, to present a production every spring, integral with Junior Week. In the earlier days of the organization, the scripts were written by a member of the student body, this practice being continued until the years 1918 and 1919, in which years no show was offered. For the past few years, it has been the aim of the Masque to present for the approval of the student body an accepted dramatic production. Such plays as “Three Wise Fools”, “Here Comes The Bride”, “The Bad Man”, and “Tons of Money” have been presented and received with approval. An attempt was made last year to return to something more or less original, with not so much success as was hoped for. In an attempt to carry on, and perhaps raise, the standard set by productions which the Masque is known by, A. A. Milne’s ingenious detective comedy “The Perfect Alibi” was presented two nights this year in Horticultural Hall. The new Coach was Mr. Albert F. Smith of Worcester South High School. The Masque was greatly assisted by, and is heavily indebted to, the Misses Rhita Ann Johnson, Helen W. Symonds, and Barbara Thurston, all of Worcester. A larger percentage of the student body attended these performances than in any previous year. Much credit is due the members of the staff and cast for their co-operation and the general feeling is that the Masque has set a precedent in accomplishment that will not be equalled for some time to come.

PHE oldest student organization in the college is the W. P. I. .M.C.A. which was formed soon after the opening of the Institute in 1868. It became a member of the national organization in 1891. I his branch of the World-wide Student Christian Association has for its purpose the development of a plain, everyday help¬ fulness and friendship by interesting and training students in Christian service and leadership. It seeks to promote a healthy moral and religious atmosphere among the men of the college. Orienting the Freshmen to the life at 1 ech was the first job undertaken, and as in the past, “Bibles” or Handbooks were distributed, organization meetings held, a second-hand book exchange conducted, and the annual Freshman Reception given in the Gym. The traditional cider, doughnuts, and cheese proved as popular as ever. Another service performed by the “Y” was the maintenance of pool and ping-pong tables, and the furnishing of games and periodical literature for the Dormitory com¬ mons room. Abandoning precedent, the Tech Carnival was promoted this year in a new and novel spirit which proved successful from all viewpoints. A real carnival atmosphere was created with the Fraternities managing booths in competition for a silver cup. The Carnival Cup for the best side-show was awarded to the Class of ’35. During the Spring, the Fraternity Discussion Groups were continued as usual; all houses that participated found the discussions both interesting and instructs e. The annual “Y” Assembly came in May, with Rev. Bernard Clausen giving us one of the most inspiring lectures of the year. His address was very well received and drew much local comment. Through co-operation with the Young Peoples’ Society of Central Church, two joint meetings were held with that group, one in the Fall and one in the Spring. These were very well attended by Tech men and so were deemed a success. Perhaps the most important function of the “Y” was the continuation of the daily Chapel exercises in Boynton Hall. Many excellent speakers were secured and the good attendance assured the value and the future of these exetcises.

In 1917, the Newman Club was accepted by the Federation of College Catholic Clubs, a membership which it now enjoys. The Newman Club at Tech has made rapid strides since its organization, until it is now one of the most popular clubs on the Hill.

Musical Association has enjoyed a busy 1932-33 season. The Glee Club, under the able direction of its new director, Clifford Fowler Green, has given concerts at West- boro, Ware, Holden and Fitchburg in addition to five appearances in Worcester. In March, the Tech Glee Club played host to the Girls Glee Club of Framingham State Teachers College in the presentation of a very successful combined concert program. The Quartet, a magician, a saw-soloist and the Tech Hill Billy group served to lend enjoyable variety to a number of the programs presented. The “Boyntonians”, Tech’s eleven-piece dance orchestra, have been active in the social life on the hill throughout the year. They have accompanied the Glee Club on all occasions to furnish music for dancing after concert programs. They have also played for the numerous Saturday Evening Dances in the dormitory, at the annual Tech Carnival, and after all basket¬ ball games on the Hill. During the past year the W. P. I. Band has been under the direction of William F. Lynch of Worcester. The excellent music furnished by the Band at Assemblies, football games, the Tech Carnival, and at the annual Alumni Reunion was a source of real pleasure to us all. The newly organized Tech String Trio furnished music for the annual Masque presentation and at the commencement exercises in June. One hundred seventy Glee Club Wright H. Manvel Clifford W.

The organization offers, in this way, much information o f interest in that department and also offers to its mem¬ bers an opportunity of making contact with practicing members of that profession. The speakers who appeared before the society in the past year were drawn from widely separated fields in the civil engineering profession. Among them were Mr. John A. Johnstone speaking of “The State Highway System’’, Mr. Joseph 1 osi with the topic of “General Contracting and Construction Methods”, Mr. G. Adolf Johnson discussing “Architectural Trends in Europe”, and Professor Jerome W. Howe who spoke on “Engineering Developments in Germany.” Much of the success enjoyed by the organization during the past school year was due to the active interest of Professor Howe, faculty sponsor of the society.

The purpose of student branches in the A. I. E. E. is to afford opportunities for the student of electrical engineering which can only be acquired outside the classroom. As far as possible, at the monthly meetings of the branch, the student has the opportun¬ ity of discussing current events in electrical engineering and listening to interesting talks by prominent men in engineering practice. Besides the monthly meetings of the branch, an open invitation is extended at all times to members who may wish to attend the meetings of the Worcester Section. Here, the student may benefit by contact with engineers and by discussions with them on new standards, publications, and electrical engineering in general. One hundred eighty HIP IIIF inn HID 1111.

Secretary-Treasurer T HIS year finds the society of Skeptical Chymists rounding out its sixteenth success¬ ful year. It was founded in 1917 with the purpose of acquainting the students of chemistry with current phases of their major and urging a more detailed reading of the latest literature. This society, which is affiliated with the Northeastern Section of American Chemical Society, includes among its members those students electing the chemistry course who have attended two thirds of the meetings during the college year and who have read a paper or spoken before the organization. During the past year, the society has limited itself in selecting speakers to address its meetings, the undergraduates having, almost wholly, undertaken this task. I his procedure has been found to possess a double value, inasmuch as it gives the audience an opportunity to become acquainted with various subjects of common interest and at the same time it develops the poise and confidence of the members who confront the assembly.
