BOURNE We proudly present our supervisors—the men who have exerted a strong guiding influence upon our lives at the Institute as able teachers, sympathetic advisors, and true friends. In presenting the latest products of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, the members of the class of 1938, it is sincerely hoped that they will faith¬ fully live up to the high standards of quality already established by their predecessors. By intelligent experimentation with the underclassmen herein pre¬ sented, a product may be obtained which will far surpass those of the past and the present. A brilliant variety of athletics, organizations, societies, and fraternities add life and zest to what otherwise would be a rather placid existence. The engraving for this book has been done by the Howard-Wesson Co.

C -J o DEDICATION To Professor Arthur Willard French, Professor of Civil Engineering at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, we, the Class of 1938, dedicate, with respect and affection, this, the eleventh volume of the Peddler. For thirty-nine years Professor French has served this Institute as Head of the Department of Civil Engineering, and as Professor in that Department. Efficient and highly trained in his special field, he has proved a successful administrator, he has maintained high standards of teaching, has inspired his students with that zeal for professional achievement which has inspired him. He has won the respect and admiration of his students by his genial manner, by his kindly friendliness, by his helpful spirit of cooperation, by his ever¬ present willingness to aid, by his humor, by his vast fund of personal experience. And his cordiality in the class room , in the field, on in¬ spection trips, has made him outstanding as teacher and as friend. We of 1938 take pleasure in dedicating this book to Professor French as a tribute to a man who has devoted the best part of his life to the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, who has given his service, unstinted, unselfish, loyal, whose influence on his students, on his col¬ leagues, in his city, among his professional associates, has been power¬ ful and good.

You have seen the faculty as they look when official and austere . . . now see them as they really are. SENIOR ANTICS MECHANICAL 193ft S TEP right this way folks. . . . This is B. Blowhard Clark, your snooping keyhole re¬ porter, all ready to show you the haunts of the Senior Mechanics, grease monks to you . . . since we are not likely to find them in classes around Tech we propose to take you to their lowly dens to give you a first hand view of Tech life in the raw ... so climb into the high- powered PP, folks, and lets be off, here, there, and everywhere. . . . We find ourselves on the top floor of a room¬ ing house at one Schussler road. Here live three of the Senior mechanics, Babcock, Burg and Clark. Can’t say much about Babcock . . . one of those quiet and unassuming chaps . . . don’t you know . . . but he does have an awful habit of trecking down to Wellesley College, where his LaSalle coupe is almost a permanent fixture. His roommate, Freddy Burg, is always in the forefront, leading by a mustachio. Freddy is also partly responsible for those lively Senior Mechanics parties shown on these pages. . . . No, Gracie, that nudist picture was not taken at the splash party . . . what do you think we are! That other bunk over there belongs to yours truly ... let me introduce you to my bedmate . . . come on out of that hole micy-wycy. Don’t argue with me, you ought to know better. Continuing our journey, we now find our¬ selves at the fraternity house at the top of the hill, Lambda Chi. The first man we encounter here is Oscar Fick. Osc has only been with us a few years, being a transfer from M.I.T. How¬ ever, we have managed to find out that he comes from Westbrook, Maine, and knows Rudv Vallee, and has met Alice Faye. That’s a good claim to fame. Another boy here is Johnny Hol¬ brook. Johnny is one of those unobtrusive chaos who is always ready to lend a helping hand, and a man who claims many friends due to his pleasant personality. The last one we run into at this stop is Ernie Gustafson. Gus is one of that queer clan taking the Aero course. This fellow will be remembered for his brand of quiet humor, and the fact that he has been known to escort numerous young ladies to vari¬ ous places—one at a time, of course. Passing on over Boynton Hill, we find our¬ selves at the door of the Phi Gam house. On the inside the first man to meet our gaze is Dick Elliott. Monty is one of the outstanding men in the class of 1938—honor student, co¬ captain of football, class prexy, and occupant of many other high positions—nevertheless, Dick has one shortcoming, for, to many Profs’ dismay, he can never seem to make an eight o’clock on time. Perhaps he should go to bed earlier. An¬ other Phi Gam member is Roger Young. Rodge is one of our hardest working seniors, having really labored for the results that he has ob¬ tained. Besides having received an Engineer¬ ing education, it has been rumored that he also has improved his learning in other lines of en¬ deavor. Len Kuniholm, another Fiji, may have many other outstanding traits, but the one that will live in our memory is his rear view mirror equipped pair of glasses. Many people have wondered if this gadget really worked. The next man encountered at this stop is Walter Knapp. 30 Walt prefers to remain a blank, but why should we allow this master of love lore to escape. Quite a smoothie, Walt. . . . The last member at Phi Gam is Lucian Allen. As the whole school knows, one never mentions Luce without thinking of that 1910 Autocar of his. We have heard of many people, large and small, specu¬ lating as to how many more miles it was good for. Knowing Lucian, we would say that it will run for as long as the Government will allow it to. Moving on down Salisbury Street it seems that the next place is the Theta Chi house. The first person we meet here is Warren Spofford, called “Spof”, and sometimes called other things. Spof is noted for two things; his activities away from Tech, and his penchant for breaking test propellers in the Aero Lab wind tunnel. Herb Lunclquist, another Theta Chi man, and also one of those Aeros, is Spof’s side kick, in matters both large and small. Aside from a fair scholas¬ tic, Herb is best known for his antics behind the wheel of a car. Take a ride with him some¬ time. Another Theta Chi mechanic is Walt Nygaard. Walt is that short blond boy who transferred to Tech from M.I.T., and one who gives promise of being one of Coach Johnstone’s mainstays in the sprints. Looking around again, we find now Paul H. Bergstrom. Hugo, the Holden Flash, will be remembered for two things; his ability with a basketball, and his choices of Senior electives—we hope he will never have regrets. Mort Fenner, Hugo’s pal from the wilds of New Jersey is like his side kick in two things—his choice of Senior electives, and the gray hairs he has collected over their thesis. This boy also happens to be the con¬ trolling force behind that old black Ford road¬ ster seen in many parts of Worcester. Passing on down Dean Street, we eventually come to the Sig Ep house, formerly known as T.U.O. Here we find one of our outstanding seniors, Ev Leach. Ev is our permanent class prexy, and, though we have never set ourselves up as prophets, we are inclined to think that someday he will be a big shot in Standard Oil. How do you like the yellow wheels on his Ford coop? Another man in this house is Dick Mun¬ son, one of Tech’s star basketeers. Dick will long be remembered as one whose spit it, throughout his four years here, did much for Tech. Byron Wilson is the next man we en¬ counter at Sig Ep. By is that little short guy who plays soccer and drives a maroon coop. We think that By’s major worry during his senior year was his thesis. Our sympathy to you, By. Now moving diagonally across the street, we find ourselves at the Phi Sig house. The first we encounter is Jack Mudgett. Jack has two claims to fame; one, the fact that he has been soccer captain for two years, and the other, that he was one of those fortunates who performed their theses in the presence of beautiful misses. Another one in this house is Tom O’Neil, a very quiet person, or, at least, so he appears on the hill. Tom is outstanding for his business ability, dress, and evening walks. Another Phi Sig man is Ed “Elihu” Turner, and again jog¬ ging that faulty memory of ours, we come to the conclusion that Ed is another man who has been true to one woman—this one back in the home town. Other words in description of “Elihu” would just be superfluous—just look at those pictures he took of himself. Continuing our survey of our so-called senior mechanics—we come to the A.T.O. house and its three inseparables, Davis, Delaney, and Jen¬ kins. The first of these three is Archie Davis, a tall lanky chap, who we will always remember for his lazy, yet somehow oddly effective man¬ nerisms. It might be interesting to speculate as to what will happen to Archie in the future. Johnnie Delaney, one of those daring mechanics who had nerve enough to take their theses out at Chaffins. According to all reports Johnnie is going to polish off his education by taking a Business Ad course at Harvard. Frank Jenkins, the last of this group, is noted for his prowess 3 1 on the basketball court, being a letter man in said sport. Frank will be remembered for some radical ideas, about which he was never reticent, gained, perhaps, while working in Ford’s River Rouge plant. In this place of the survey, we come to three men, who, because of their stick-together-ness, have been placed here instead of under their fraternal groupings. The first is Ray Perreault. The outstanding thing about Ray is the large number of different cars that he has been seen piloting in his four years at Tech, and how that boy does make them move. The second man is also a Ray, Ray Tolman. Ray is that little dark chap, who always wears bowties and may generally be found in the company of his pal Ray 1. The last of this trio is Bob Karakoosh, and it’s too bad that his name is not Ray also. Then we could call them the “Three Rays”— tack on your own ending. Bob is the super¬ salesman who handles the Corona Typewriter Agency here at school. Two-hits for the plug, Bob. Now we come to the last, but by no means the least, grouping of our survey. The first man to meet our eyes in this group is A 1 Deschere. A 1 is one of our brightest young men, and one whom we consider wasted on the engineering profession. We contend that he should be a lawyer. Those of you who have heard his solu¬ tions of case problems in the Business Law class, will certainly agree with us. Roy Edmands, the next man on the list, is a very quiet unassuming chap, but we will always remember him for those clever flashes of humor that he indulged in occasionally. Our next encounter is with Joe Staniunas. Stanny is the boy who comes from the wilds, that is, he lives out in Hudson. In case none of you recognize the name, just look for the boy with the twinkle in his eye and that will be Stan. Now we come to Dana Stratton, the last of that weird group, the Aeros. Dana is the quietest of this wild bunch of men, but even so, we predict a high future for him. The last man to be discussed is Frank Raphael. We left Frank to the last on purpose, just to be sure that we wouldn’t forget him. Frank is our class humorist—remember his case problem in Business Law. Frank also plays the guitar, and sings with the Boyntonians—quite a voice. CIVIL RAMBLINGS Can You Imagine? Scalzi eating without his books nearby. . . . Stickle without Witkege. . . .

CHEMISTS Good morning, folks, this is your collegiate Vox Pop program coming to you this morning from the Salisbury laboratories at Worcester Polytechnic Institute where we have set up our mike with the intention of interviewing the Senior Chemists as they arrive for their classes. It is only two minutes to eight and already the leisurely tread of our first candidates can be heard on the famous Squeaky Stairs of this ven¬ erable Hall of Smells. Will you bring those fel¬ lows over, Jerry? What is your name, please? Robert Alexander of Worcester. Bob, would you mind telling us what thing or event impressed you most while you have been here at Tech. Well, I don’t think that I shall ever forget the time that I dropped the $25.00 thermometer in the Quant. Lab. It made quite an impression on my chem. deposit. Thank you, Bob, and since you are quite a smoker, here is a carton of cigarettes. . . . Next. . . . the fellow standing before me is tall and spare with the well known student stoop. Your name please? Arnet Lauriston Powell. H’mm. . . . I’ll wager that full name is not generally known. Have you any other than technical interests? Yes, I’m quite interested in literature. In that case perhaps this gift volume of “Snow White” will be an appropriate addition to your library. And the third member of the group is. . . . ? John Wishneski. John, before I count five suppose you list all the things that you can think of that begin with the letter B— B?—Blondes,—beer,—burlies,—B- All right, that is a pretty inclusive list. Here is two tickets so that you and Gruzdie can take in the show at the Worcester Theater. Looking down the stairway I can see two more of the early comers. The first, a thin blonde fellow, is coming up the stairs two at a time carrying a well-traveled briefcase. Your name? Donald Pethybridge. Do you live in Worcester? No, in Fitchburg. Do you commute? Yes, I come down by bus, except in the Win¬ ter when the snow gets too deep, then I live in town. That’s fine, now . . . could you tell me the meaning of the word “Honey Bucket”? Well, back in the days of the Out Houses— Well, perhaps we had better not go into that. I understand that you are cpiite a whistler, so here is a package of our best bird seed, courtesy of the Amalgamated Stinkers, Inc. Your partner’s name? 33 William Proctor. Bill, what arc you and Don working on lor a thesis? We are determining if milk is safe for babes by means of a phosphatates test. I hear that your classmates supply the samples of milk, so here are twenty coupons which, with thirteen milk bottles you can get an accredited Jersey cow for further work. What say, fellows, what is the story here? Just some informal interviews, do you want to be next? Your name? Maurice Pressman. That name sounds familiar, aren’t you the one who almost blew up the Organic lab. by dropping sodium in the sink? Well maybe 1 had better go along; you can work on Gene Bertozzi who is coming up now. Get him to tell you about the girls on the bus. So you are Gene Bertozzi. . . . What is this bus trip that you take every morning? I commute from Framingham. Quite a journey. . . . When do you get your sleep? Well, lately I have been falling asleep doing my Chem Engine, I had better catch up on some right now. Wait, what . is that hanging out of your pocket? On, that is a pair of four fingered gloves the boys gave me so I can keep my fingers out of the way when I am working in the lab. Well folks, we have the long and short of it coming next. First is a tall dark-haired fellow and with him is a short fellow with glasses. . . . Don’t forget coach, we have a game this after¬ noon. Announcer: Pardon me a minute, what is your name? Louis Saltsman, and this is David Slovin. Why were you calling him coach? Oh, he is always telling the fellows how it should be done. So what, at least I know the rules, which is more than you do. Go ahead, Loui, why don’t you broadcast that three you got on the physi-chem exam—Dr. But¬ ler’s all time low. Well, I passed the course, didn’t I? Announcer: That must be going some Loui, and here Dave is a box you can stand on so you can reach the reagent bottles. Who is that lanky fellow striding up the stairs? Oh, that is Eric Mager. Eric, will you step over here a minute? I met someone who worked at Denniso ns with you last summer. Are you going to stick it out there after you graduate? No, I’ll be here as Graduate Assistant. That is fine, you must be a topnotch student, what is the name . . . scab? Oh, I wouldn’t say that. Now take Martell here. He is a real scab, first honor man, best yields in Organic . . . just how did you get those yields Art . . . suppose that you tell him while I look at my costant temperature bath. Never mind Art ... he is just jealous. So you are going to N.Y.U. as a graduate assistant. How will you like the big city, Art? Interruption: 1 can tell you, he won’t like being away from Olive. And why, pray, who are you who sneaked up on us so quietly. Zigmond Burzycke. . . . Mum’s the word, that’s me. By the saw who is that singing troubador coming up the stairs with the tennis racquet under his arm? Bob Nimmo. Bob: Hi, Zig, how is your thesis coming? Not so good, someone published almost the same thing that I was working on. Tough luck Zig, you really had something there. Bob, I hear that you landed a research job, won’t you tell us something about it? 34 Yes, I am lucky enough to be going with the Ellis Labs; they are petroleum research labs, and it promises to be very interesting work. How is tennis these days, Bob? I have the job of captain this year, and be¬ lieve me it is cpiite a job. I hank you Bob and the best of luck. Now folks it is long past the bell and the fellows are slowly moving into class. This closes your collegiate Vox Pop program for this morning. Be with us next week when we will again set up our mike to interview the Seniors of 1938. THE CHEMICAL ENGINEERS Hi-ho, hi-ho. Oh off to work we go To stinking labs with swabs and pails Hi-ho, hi-ho, hi-ho, hi-ho, hi-ho, For if you’re feeling low We’ll still your gin or blow you up To make your troubles go. Hi-ho, hi-ho. Oh off to work we go Just seven dwarfs and two more dopes, Hi-ho, hi-ho. With apologies to Walt Disney and his master¬ piece we think that seven of the Chemical Engineers would pinch-hit very easily for his dwarfs. Not only that—we are also sure that all of you would like to meet our candidates for the roles of Snow White and Prince Charming. In fact, why go to the movies at all, when the first floor in the Salisbury Labs will provide a show second to none, with real, living characters. Ah-Ah-Ah-Ker-ChoOO. No explosion, only Murray Wilson, our candidate for Sneezy, strut¬ ting his stuff. As to his similarity to the dwarfs he will cjualify even as to a minor bald spot. Usually quiet and unassuming, he also has been known to explode on a few occasions. Having exhausted the entire field of American pulchri¬ tude, he is now Paris bound in search of new fields to conquer. Bashful, Leo Cronin, sometimes gives the im¬ pression that he has a poor opinion of girls, but we have watched him off duty and he alwavs leads us to the YWCA. We are willing to bet our shirts that she has red hair which beauti¬ fully matches Bashful’s blushes; these are easily obtained by mentioning his most popular extra curricular activities, and we don’t mean pool and bowling. Smiling and teasing, Leo sometimes flings his bashfulness aside and enters into things with joy and enthusiasm. Ha-ha-ha-ho-ho roars Happy Hans Peterson, as everyone soberly looks around to see what the joke is. To see that wide grin splitting from ear to ear one could even imagine him laugh¬ ing at daddy-long-legs Butler’s Organic exams. Screw it or not screw it, says Happy, but look at all the fun I am having studying for it. Happy would be in his happy Hunting Grounds by now if the student body only knew that it was he who did that atrocious cartoon in the 1937 Peddler. For the part of Dopey we nominate John Bradshaw, not because he cannot talk as much or as fast as the best of us, oh no, but as with Disney’s Dopey one must do a little guessing to be able to tell just what is meant. The name Dopey well applies to anyone who will go to the Professor and ask for an afternoon off, instead of just taking it, thereby ruining an afternoon of golf for himself and for three other culprits as well. ft. Hi Bill Holcomb who takes the part of Sleepy is somewhat drowsy in the morning but he wakes up considerably after he has had his morning exercise which involves climbing Tech hill to 35 meet a certain girl to take her to school and then remounting the hill again in time for the morn¬ ing classes. Aside from that he is somewhat like a lamp in that he is seldom turned down, is moderately bright, sometimes smokes, and often goes out at night. By scholastic attainments alone, Tom Gruzdis may well be called Doc, and beyond that he sort of takes charge of things as a matter of course. He may be called ambitious, but we think his efficiency is largely planned laziness. Unlike Doc, however, Gruzdis is hard to twist up, but we imagine that one of his Worcester interests will finally ensnarl him. He still finds plenty of time to spend with the boys, and they like to have him around. Stubborn as a mule, John Foster easily quali¬ fies for the role of Grouchy. The class owes him a vote of thanks for harrassing the instruc¬ tors to such a degree that they never did have time to give us a quiz in either statics and strength, and this was often very convenient. Grouchy was stubborn and so is John but with intensive treatment by the Dwarfs and, shall we say, by outside interests he has of late shown signs of softening. John is a bright boy, but we hope that he keeps that mariner’s chest of his under lock and key. Snow White—cherubic in appearance, and un¬ defiled by a rather robust life is Bob Somerville. In our little skit he takes the part quite well, but you will know that he is only acting when you get to know him better, and he is really pretty well liked on the hill. If he only would look up from the wishing well once in a while, he is sure to find his Snow White very close at hand. Hear ye, all and sundry. When you perceive fair damsels gape open-mouthed, know then that Handsome Prince Charming, Fred Banan, approaches. When ye perceive their eyes up¬ lifted soulfully, know then that he passeth; and when ye perceive these selfsame damsels sigh despondently know then that our Handsome Prince Charming hath gone by. Fred’s duty to the Boyntonians limits his social activities, but by means of his standing Sunday night dates he will always remain our true Prince Charming. But the fun is over . . . and there must be an end to all good things . . . and due to the present recession we have changed our theme song a bit . . . again dubbing it from Snow White ... here it is: I’m wishing for the job I love to find me today I’m hoping, and I’m dreaming of the nice dough they’ll pay Tell me wishing well, Will my wish come true? With your magic spell, Won’t you tell the dear boss what to do? I’m wishing for the job I love to find me today. 36 THE E. E. FLUSHOVER ANNUAL Independent — Shocking — Pungent The News as It Amperes Brought Straight to Your Ohm Read Watt Happens When It Happens Neil Fitzgerald, Editor-in-Chief Ray Houston, Copy Boy Crime Wave Strikes Pittsfield Pittsfield, June, 1937—Richard M. Stawiecki, W. P. I. hoodlum, paniked the Acme Restaurant here by display¬ ing his mustard-covered bare feet in that famous food emporium. When the constable had arrived to appre¬ hend Stawiecki on a charge of exces¬ sive exposure and inciting a riot, the Tech man had hurriedly departed with several shadowy companions. The constable expects an arrest within forty-eight hours. Exercise Your Way to Beauty By Werner Held To-day, girls, we shall discuss the beauty of the neck and the hair. The lines of the neck can be greatly en¬ hanced by the proper exercise. My patented routine is as follows: Keep¬ ing the trunk perfectly rigid allow the noggin to oscillate back and forth in a vertical plane with a period of 1.095:!:-002 secs. You will find after constant application of this simple ex¬ ercise that your neck will greatly im¬ prove in strength and beauty. How¬ ever, if you adopt the famous Held coiffure, inspired by Albert Einstein, you need not bother about your neck, because your hair covers it. Next Issue: Care of the Hair by Emory K. Rogers. Intercollegiate Relations Strained! Relations between W. P. I. and a certain eastern girls’ college which is always mentioned in college year books were badly strained lately when tne foreign correspondent of the W. P. I., Ravindra L. Kirloskar, snubbed the attractive student of W. . . by ad¬ miring the cantilever beams of the college chapel instead of the beams of the students. At another point Kir¬ loskar carelessly referred to the society houses on the W. . . campus as “huts”. It appears to this fearless paper that these incidents are being purposely provoked by the W. P. I. representa¬ tive to lead to war and invasion of the W. . . territory. Irate Student Protests Petty Larcenies Andrew “Circuit Breaker” Constant has of late been pestered no end by petty thefts from his lunch bag, left between classes in the library. Says Mr. Constant, “If my Boy Scouts did such a nasty thing, I would take the cork-screws right out of their Boy Scout knives.” Student Ecapes! While the guards were taking an afternoon siesta, Student R. F. Burke made good his escape from a long Summer Shop Stretch. Fellow inmates aided him in his flight by throwing clothes from the cell-block window. The authorities anticipate an early recapture, having set a trap baited with an A. C. textbook with answers in the back. Popular Tech Personality Re¬ veals Secret of Success Mr. I. William Toubman, quiet, bashful, but popular man-about- campus, yesterday revealed the secret of his popularity. Said “Joe”. “I greet everyone I meet, male and female alike, with a cheery ‘Oh, you kid’. I am also a fast runner.” FASHION NEWS:-Mai Safjord and Ray Piper are now showing the latest in engineering ensembles, without which no embryonic engineer’s ward¬ robe is complete. These accessories con¬ sist of a Polyphase Duplex with leather belt to match. It is rumored in fashion circles that these two log¬ arithmic Lotharios are now working on a device to attach slip-sticks to sus¬ penders for formal wear. STOCK REPORTS:— Rumors from the curb report that values quoted on the Paul Vaughan Enterprises, Inc., have dropped to .$2 p er share. A Bear market is predicted. MEDICAL NOTES: The Wiley ir Gray Institute of Research in Relaxa¬ tion announces the recent publication of several volumes written by these two masters of the art. “Dream Your Way to a Diploma,” “Succeed Success¬ fully Thru Serene Slumbering,” and “Professors and Other Nightmares, or Don’t Eat Pie Before Classes.” On sale in all college bookstores. NEWS FLASHES:—Z. W. Combes predicts that P. M. Murphy will be president of American Amalgamation of Lathe Hands by 1941. The candi¬ date is slated for a long, successful life in this profession. After 128 hours of constant search¬ ing, a rescue party finally discovered the missing Evans and Haynes who had inadvertently built themselves into a padded cell in the basement of the E. E. Building. The search was headed by irate neighbors who were also at¬ tempting to trace the source of un¬ earthly squeals emanating from the vicinity of that building. The two experimenters, while attempting to trap the elusive decibel, were caught in their own snare. Advice to the Lovelorn Column Questions of the heart answered by Lovey Lovelace. Q. Dear Lovey: My best girl is very wealthy but won’t marry me because I am an engineer. Oh, what shall I do? Rob’t Day. A. What’s her address and phone number? Q. Dear Lovey: Can mathematical analysis be applied to affairs of the heart? I am an engineer but can’t seem to apply it to my girl. D. G. Mazur A. You can’t put gals into an equa¬ tion, my lovesick friend. They are the unknown quantity, x, but can’t be crossed. They show no equality, and nobody has ever been able to get enough data to plot their curves. Local Sculptor Not Hit by Recession A prominent local sculptor made the astonishing assertion today that the present recession did not bother him at all. Upon receiving this news the Flushover reporter rushed over to the studio to interview the sculptor. When asked if back orders brought about this boom, the artist replied, “No, I only have one project at present, a bust of George McKenna, and it will take me at least six months to finish his nose alone”. Mr. McKen¬ na threatens suit, if the sculptor will not retract his statement. Brilliant Tech Student Goes Berserk Citizens having felt hats, neckties, valuable papers, and other thin, fra¬ gile articles are warned to be on the lookout for Peter Paul Koliss, over¬ worked Tech student. Approach with caution, this man is armed—with a paper punch, and will not hesitate to use this deadly weapon. Several citi¬ zens have already felt the presence of this fiend. Beware! Professor Dizz’s Column “I’ll Ask You Another When You’re Through” By Robert Brenton Keith (1) How are you going to find out things if you don’t ask questions?

LOST FOUND The FLUSHOVER ANNUAL reports that several students answering to the names of Buck, Perkins, Ham, Held, Kimball, and Kirloskar. were discov¬ ered o n the editorial office’s doorstep last September. If not claimed before June, they will be disposed of other¬ wise. Don Howe reports the loss of one etherially controlled automobile which went berserk during a recent thunder storm and has not been seen since.

We are extremely proud of the efficient alumni organiza¬ tion which Herb Taylor has built up and main¬ tained. Not only does the Alumni Association obtain positions for an unusually large per¬ centage of graduating engineers, but it also per¬ forms the almost impossible feat of keeping in touch with graduates in all parts of the world. Thus all of the widely scattered graduates still keep an intense interest in the welfare of Wor¬ cester Tech.

Third Row— Mudgett, Hoebel, Leach, Taft, Schlora, Fenner, Lloyd. O F THE many organizations on the hill, the Tec h Council is perhaps the most impor¬ tant. At its bi-weekly meetings, the faculty and the students have the opportunity to voice their opinions on matters concerning the common interests of both; as a result policies and actions can be recommended that will have a direct bearing on all persons represented in this body. Like other organizations on the hill, the Tech Council also sponsors several activities. Most prominent is the annual Tech At Home Day held during the spring to acquaint prospective students with the Institute. Also important is the annual Sports Banquet, where local men directly connected with sports, speak informally on that subject, next year’s captains in the major sports are elected, and letters are awarded. This banquet is one of the few opportunities where the whole student body and the faculty can get together and acquire a little more college spirit through an informal, enthusiastic good time. This organization recognizes service to the college in sports, for, as has been the custom for some time, athletic charms have been awarded to men graduating who have distinguished them¬ selves in the major sports. The Council also has assigned to it the direction of the Fuller Assem¬ blies, and the selection of dates for various events. Working always for the good of the College, the Council this year has submitted to the ap¬ proval of the student body a revision of the Freshman Rules, thus endeavoring to teach the freshmen the requirements of a Tech man rather than to cause added heat between the two lower classes as previous rules have done.

Swan i IDER, doughnuts, and cheese,” has become ' in the minds of many Tech men nearly synonymous with the S. C. A. This year, as be¬ fore, the first activity of the Student Christian Association was to welcome the incoming class to W. P. I. in the time-honored manner. How¬ ever, the conclusion of Freshman Orientation Week with the annual reception by no means ended the activities of the Association. The chapel period in Sinclair Hall was again main¬ tained with many interesting speakers from the faculty, the city and the student body contribut¬ ing their services to make the daily quarter-hour pleasant and valuable. Another successful un¬ dertaking was the twenty-second annual Tech Carnival held in the middle of March. The class skits and the musical program were greatly enjoyed, but as usual the faculty act stole the show. By presenting the winning skit in the Freshman-Sophomore competition, the class of ’40 added their numerals to the Carnival Cup. Somewhat less conspicuous, but no less con¬ structive, were other functions of the organiza¬ tion. Among these were placement of students for part-time work, maintenance of the dormi¬ tory game room and magazine rack, conduction of discussion groups in the fraternities, and co¬ operation with the city’s churches and the New England Student Christian Movement. The S. C. A., in addition to being the oldest organi¬ zation on the hill, can still be seen bustling with activity. S. C. A. Front —Swan (faculty) Johnson, Abbe, Somerville, Waterman.

These men are chosen for their popularity in athletics and in class and social activities. They are picked as being the most representative members of the incoming senior class. According to the custom of the Skull, not more than three men from any one fraternity are chosen in the same year. The Skull was founded in 1911 to promote the interests of the Institute, and to encourage the students to work for the good of the school. In order to stimulate interests of the Freshman, a cup is presented each year to the freshman who has done the most for his college during his first, year. The award of this prize does not indicate that this man will eventually become a member. The members of the organization may be recognized by the Skull caps and the Skull pins. 1 ' he Skull Tomb stands on the southeast corner of the campus and is a symbol of the work that Skull does for the college. U LL 77 SIGMA XI First Row— Kullas, Martell, Foster, Gruzdis, McKenna. Second Row— Elliott, Lavezzoli, Andreopoulos, Mager, Deschere, Murphy, Burg. A S ONE of the largest honorary fraternities in this country, the society of the Sigma Xi was founded at Cornell University in 1886 to serve as an Engineering equivalent to the Liberal Arts Phi Beta Kappa. Its avowed purpose is “de¬ voted to the promotion of research in science” and under skillful guidance it has grown to a membership of about twenty thousand. The Worcester Tech chapter of the Society was founded in 1908, Dr. R. A. Beth being the present incumbent of the office of President. At this Institute membership is chosen from the faculty and staff, whereas students ranking high¬ est in the Senior class are chosen by the members to become associates, a title which carries with it most of the privileges of membership. The associates are elected by the present members on the basis of scholarship and general worthiness, while an exceptional student may occasionally be elected to full membership. ASSOCIATE T. C.

Chandler T AU BETA PI is an organization similar to the Phi Beta Kappa of the liberal arts col¬ leges. High scholarship is the foremost require¬ ment for membership, but in addition, the men picked must be noteworthy in activities or sports to denote a well-rounded development. This honorary society was founded in 1885 “to mark in a fitting manner those who have conferred honor upon their Alma Mater by distinguished scholarship and exemplary character as under¬ graduates in engineering, or by their attainments as alumni . . . , and to foster a spirit of liberal culture in the engineering colleges of America.” Each year two elections for membership are held. In the fall, seniors in the upper fourth and juniors in the upper eighth of their respec¬ tive classes fulfill the scholarship rule, whi le in the spring, those from the upper eighth of the junior class are eligible. Those men upon whom membership in Tau Beta Pi has been conferred are proud that they have been able to measure up to the several requirements for admission and are thus privileged to wear the Bent, or the Tau Beta Pi key. Preliminary to the Fall Pledging ceremony, the president of Tau Beta Pi announces the awarding of a prize to the sophomore who throughout his freshman year has maintained a first honor rating and furthermore has distin¬ guished himself in activities or sports. The re¬ ceiving of this prize does not necessarily indicate future membership in the society, but means rather that the man so honored has the distinc¬ tion of being the one whose qualities are con¬ sidered most nearly those of a Tau Beta Pi man. This year a log log decitrig slide rule was awarded to Ronald Scott Brand, a member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity and a varsity man in soccer and tennis.

T HIS year the Peddler Staff has attempted to present a year-book widely different from those of our predecessors. In order to make the book more representative of the college as a whole more space than formerly has been devoted to sports, fraternities, and organizations, particularly in regard to complete coverage a nd historical development. The Senior section this year is in the nature of an experiment; the in¬ dividual write-ups have been removed from below the Senior pictures and placed in a sepa¬ rate section. It has been our experience that it is undesirable to have these personal sketches on the same page as the pictures, since many of these while amusing at the moment may not be exactly what we would like to be remembered PED by in later life. Not wishing to leave out any¬ thing of general interest, we have included a considerable number of candid camera shots which we feel should create interest in the casual reader; we only wish that we could find more good ones to publish. It is the hope of the Staff that you, our readers, will accept our humble but sincere ef¬ forts with pleasure and also our best wishes for the future. This book could only be realized by long hours of work by various members of the Staff and the most wholehearted cooperation of the student body and the tradesmen with whom we have dealt. 80 PEDDLER STAFF CLASS REPORTERS Murray C.

However, it died a natural death with the turn of the present century, and for nearly ten years Tech was without any student managed news¬ paper. The Tech News in its present form came into being in 1910, and since its conception has served a triple role in satisfying the literary, journalistic and comic needs of the student body. It has fulfilled its functions in an ad¬ mirable manner, withstanding many handicaps and criticisms. Within the staff itself every effort has been made to foster a journalistic training to under¬ classmen that they may carry on the traditions of the paper. The News has a definite editorial policy, and through its editorial columns many revisions in the old order have taken place to the advantage of the whole student body. Included with each copy of the paper is a rotogravure section known as the “Collegiate Digest” which pictures events and personalities at colleges throughout the country. Now in its twenty-eighth year, the News, under the leadership of Robert S. Lloyd will maintain its high journalistic standards and carry on the traditions of the past. 82 Charles C. Bonin . .

A N essential feature in every college is a well balanced system of extra¬ curricular activities, and this logically hints of an opportunity for music¬ al development for the student. Holding a prominent place in such activities is the W. P. I. Musical Association which is itself well balanced, consisting of a glee club, a band, and a dance orchestra. The glee club has a membership of approximately forty men under the direction of Clifford F. Green. It is unnecessary to comment on the vocal abilities of the club if we consider a few of their activities consisting of out- of-town concerts, participation in the New England Intercollegiate Festival, combined concert with the Wellesley chorus, radio-broadcasting, and of course, selections for assemblies and commencement. The second chapter in the annals of the Musical Association deals with the Tech Band which consists of thirty-five members under the direction of William F. Lynch. One of the main functions of the band is to provide pulse- 84 quickening music for football ancl basketball games, which it has done quite commendably. It has also successfully invaded the classical field to which their excellent selections at assemblies bear witness. The last division of the association is the eleven piece dance orchestra well known throughout New England as the Boyntonians. This group has grown and improved considerably in the past few years until it now holds the honor, according to a Worcester newspaper, of being “about the best swing band in these parts.” Given time, the Boyntonians should build up a reputa¬ tion unequalled by any other New England college band. One of the main activities of the W. P. I. Musical Association was the combined concert given on May 7th by the glee club ancl the band, followed by dancing to the Boyntonians. This concert, as well as that of last year, was very successful, and points the way to a definite date each year on our school calendar. Who says that engineers can’t be good musicians? MUSICAL ASSOCIATION 85 W. P. I. OUTING CLUB First Row— Hunt, Sherwin, Disbrow, Dunklee, Houser, Dinsmore, Whitaker, Sullivan. Second Row— Potter, Wackerbarth, Koerber, Watson, Greenwood, Powell. O N the evening of December 17, 1937’ about thirty students assembled in Sanford Riley Hall to form what later became known as the Worcester Tech Outing Club. Enthusiasm ran high in the line of skiing, and it was hoped that the winter ahead would favor the sport. The month of January provided excellent conditions and the group was able to make two week-end trips to Mt. Wachusett, chartering a bus on one occasion. Both trips were highly successful and would have been continued weekly throughout the last of January and February had not ex¬ ams and poor snow conditions intervened. On February 22, several of the group took a snow train to Adams, Mass., and this spring a few were able to enjoy two days in Tuckerman’s Ravine, but the cost of such trips prohibited many from going. All of the four meetings held indoors have been well attended; the club has adopted a constitution and an arm emblem, and has also successfully petitioned the Athletic Council for permission to represent the school in competi¬ tive meets. Thus, the basic fundamentals have been laid, and the entire group is looking for¬ ward to an active season next year. MEMBER LIST R. E. Dunklee —President P. Johnson— Vice President D. E.

Swasey T HE Masque, Worcester Tech’s dramatic association, occupies an important position on the Hill. Its membership consists of a group representing every class and Fraternity, and its feminine leads are taken by young ladies prom¬ inent in Worcester’s amateur theatrical circles. Even though the association comes out in the open only once each year, its work leaves many a pleasant memory. Every year since its or¬ ganization in 1911, the Masque has scored a glorious success with each production. Maintaining the same high standard, the Masque chose a delightful comedy for its con¬ tribution to this year’s gala Junior Prom week¬ end. The thunderous applause which followed the presentation of George Kelly’s “The Show- off” was ample proof of another “hit.” “The Show off” centers about the character, Aubrey Piper, who is, to quote another char¬ acter, Mrs. Fisher, “A nincompoop and a damn blatherskite”. Aubrey blusters through three acts muttering, ‘‘Sign on the dotted line” and keeping himself in stitches with his witty re¬ marks. Of course there is the inevitable love interest, provided by Mrs. Fisher’s beautiful daughter, who finally succumbs to Aubrey’s charm and personality. When Mr. Fisher dies, Aubrey manages to persuade Mrs. Fisher to let him share her home. After living in the Fisher domicile for about two weeks, Aubrey turns the household into a turmoil. He brings Mrs. Fisher to the verge of a nervous breakdown by his constant boastful chatter. His crowning misa- chievement occurs when he borrows an auto¬ mobile, crashes into a street car, runs over a traffic officer, and thus incurs a fine of one thousand dollars. Things look very black indeed for a time, until Aubrey’s big talk sells Mrs. Fisher’s son’s invention for a hundred thousand, plus royalties. The play began at an easy pace, the action rolling rapidly to a smashing climax. The per¬ formance of each member of the cast was ex¬ cellent, and this, coupled with splendid coop¬ eration from backstage made a remarkable pro¬ duction. It was another great success for the Masque.

The candid craze has got a goodly number of the boys. Many a time you sec someone in class squinting through a small peepsight at either the professor or at some sleeping student. Your life is not safe around the Institute any more with all these palm size cameras around school. Idle most embarrassing part of the whole thing is that someone is liable to walk up to you with a picture of yourself sleeping in some important lecture or doing some other assinine stunt. With the interest running so high in the photography field the club this year obtained enough members and with the aid of the Insti¬ tute built a new modernized darkroom, com¬ prized of three separate darkrooms, and was able to purchase a new enlarger and more equipment. Besides just taking snapshots the Camera Club has had many interesting speakers at their meetings which have been open to anyone in¬ terested in photography, and has held the annual Photography exhibit and contest shown on At Home Day.

Wireless Association was organized in 1909, and by 1914 it had constructed a large spark transmitter un¬ der the guidance of Prof. Clarence A. Pierce. Governmental experimental work was carried on during the War with this station, it being allowed to operate long after other amateur radio stations were shut down by law. Interest was still keen when the ban was lifted, and immediately the Club set about building a tube-transmitter, and was so successful that it was one of the first stations to be heard across the Atlantic at 200 meters. Around 1921-1922 Prof. Harold A. Maxfield was broadcasting basketball games to Worcester and vicinity by phone. This, unfortunately, was soon stopped when the gov¬ ernment clamped down on unlimited broad¬ casting. Interest lagged along with the depression, but it revived under a new constitution in 1931. File shack was moved to a new location in the E. E. Building and the club set about replacing the obsolete equipment. The new transmitter at first refused to work properly, but the fresh¬ men got together and improved the design se¬ cretly, putting one over on the unsuspecting upper-classmen. This happened in March, 1934. The present equipment is augmented by a gift from the family of the late Orrin P. Lee, an ardent radio club man, and the loan of various pieces of equipment from R. C. A.; and the E. E. Department has helped to make the club’s present physical assets among the best. Short student talks on various phases of radio, visits by distinguished radio engineers, and inspection trips help to round out the program of the club. Though the club does not command the atten¬ tion that it did in its youth, it is still one of the best on the Hill. 89 COSMOPOLITAN CLUB First Roxv —Coombs (faculty), Evans, Lang, Haynes, Howard, Jenkins, Swan (faculty). Second Roiu— Morse, Rice, Totti, Naboicheck, Bates, Kirloskar. Third Row— Coontz, Flitch, Luce, McIntyre, Lang. T HE Cosmopolitan Club was originally in¬ tended to be an organization to promote better understanding and good will among foreign students at the Institute. In recent years foreign students have been scarce and so the club turned open its membership to all students interested in foreign affairs. This year the Cosmopolitan Club is fortunate in having five foreign students as members. Their presence adds greatly to the value of the discussions on foreign affairs for they give much first hand information. The countries represented are In¬ dia, Canada, Austria, Germany, China, and Puerto Rico. The first meeting was the annual banquet at the Y.W.C.A., given in the past by Dean Coombs. After dinner the members introduced themselves and a social hour followed. The next meeting of the club was held at Dean Howe’s home, where Professor MacCullough spoke on a trip he made through Europe. The third meeting was held in Sanford Riley Hall. Professor Nor- gren gave a very excellent talk on the country of Sweden. The Far East was the subject of the fourth gathering of the club held at the home of President Earle. Miss Florence Walker spoke and showed motion pictures of Japan and China. The annual elections were held at the fifth and last meeting of the year. COSMOPOLITAN CLUB MEMBERS H. W. Haynes . . .

Treasurer T HE Aero Club was founded in 1928 simul¬ taneously with the inauguration of the course in aeronautics by a group of the air- minded students. Kenneth G. Merriam, brought here at that time to serve as professor of Aero¬ nautical Engineering, served as faculty advisor of the group, and has continued as such to the present day. When the original club leaders graduated, interest lagged for a couple of years, but was revived again under the leadership of the advisor and has continued. This year the club has planned and carried out an active program to restimulate some¬ what lethargic student interest and has suc¬ ceeded quite well. The new program is based on a contest, the awards of which total half an hour of flying time out at the Grafton Airport. Points are being awarded for attendance, for short dis¬ cussions at the meetings, construction projects, and other activities connected with current avia¬ tion. The boys are practicing on handling the Curtiss flight trainer up in the aero laboratory, points being awarded for proficiency in hand¬ ling this. A five-foot wing-span model plane to be powered by a small gasoline engine is be¬ ing constructed. At present, the Ma ss. Dept, of Motor Vehicles bans the flights of such gas models, but the dull is hoping that trials will soon be possible, as the plane is nearly com¬ pleted. So far the Department refuses to recog¬ nize such a plane as airworthy. Never one of the large clubs on the campus, the present opportunities offered to the members have strengthened the enthusiasm and interest in the club until it occupies a position close to that of the original society.

Vice President N. E. Fitzgerald . Treasurer R. C. Murphy . Secretary Dr. Burns . Advisor T HE Newman Club, an organization now comprised of one of the largest and most impressive memberships on the Hill, originated back in 1915. The organization has been named after Cardinal Newman, a very learned and illustrious figure in the Catholic Church during the later portion of the nineteenth century. The primary purpose of this organization is to assist its members to be true to their religion, and to aid them in furthering the high ideals symbol¬ ized in the life of Cardinal Newman. To strive toward this end, at every meeting a prominent speaker is present to discuss topics which are of interest to every Catholic. The rapid strides which have been made in the growth and development of this organiza¬ tion may be attributed largely to the efforts of Dr. Burns. For the past twenty-five years Dr. Burns h as devoted a great deal of his time in directing the course and activities of the New¬ man Club. This year’s activities started with a Triduum held during the opening week of col¬ lege. The annual Communion Breakfast fol¬ lowed in March. The Newman Club has been a member of the Federation of College Catholic Clubs since 1917. This year the annual convention of the New England division of this organization is arranged to be held at Tech. NEWMAN CLUB Ahern, Fitzgerald, Fr.

Feldman . Advisor i r r ' HE Chymists are a strange class of Mor- A tals impelled by an almost Insane Im¬ pulse to seek their pleasure among smoke and vapor, soot and llante, poisons and poverty; yet among these Evils I seem to live so Sweetly, that may I die if I would change places with the Persian King.” This quotation is an appropriate introduction to the Skep Chymists, an organization which has been active on the Hill for over a period of two decades and whose membership is comprised of undergraduate students and faculty in the De¬ partments of Chemistry and Chemical Engineer¬ ing. The primary purpose of this society, which has for its patron saint Robert Boyle, the father of Chemistry, is to activate an interest and to familiarize the members with the current pro¬ ceedings in the held of Chemistry. To achieve this end, at every meeting students prepare and present discussions based on recent develop¬ ments in chemistry. Thus the student acquires confidence and poise in the presentation of these talks, and in addition is stimulated to do further reading in the current chemical litera¬ ture. As a further incentive, the society awards the student who has presented the most inter¬ esting talk from the aspect of delivery and treatment of the subject, with a student Mem¬ bership in the American Chemical Society. The Skeptical Chymists are affiliated with the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society. All students are privileged to attend the sessions of the senior organization, and many have taken advantage of this opportunity to their benefit. Once each year the Skep Chymists make arrangements to attend a meeting of the A. C. S. en masse. Another activity which has been undertaken by this organization and proved very popular is a series of inspection trips to va rious concerns engaged in the chem¬ ical industries. Such inspection trips give the students a true picture of how chemical indus¬ tries operate in their various phases. 93 A. S. M. E. Seated— Nygaard, Fick. Standing— Wilson, Karakoosh.

I.’s several professional societies which aim to stimulate student interest in technical subjects and in the various phases of engineering. The present student membership in the A.S.M.E. is over sixty. This past year the student meetings have been combined with the meetings of the Worcester Section of the A.S.M.E. in order to take advantage of their exceptionally fine pro¬ gram of speakers. At the October meeting were Professor T. N. Whitehead of Harvard University and Mr. Wil¬ liam Batty, secretary of the New Bedford Tex¬ tile Council who presented views on Human Relations in Industry. Mr. E. L. Sylvester, sales manager of the Kelvinator Electric Co., spoke on Domestic Air Conditioning at the November meeting. In January, the students and local engineers heard Mr. William Livingston, of the Alexander Hamilton Institute, on the subject of Business Aspects and Economic Trends. Mr. Maxwell C. Maxwell, Assistant to the President of Yale and Towne Mfg. Co., gave a talk at the February meeting on Loxology, demonstrating with numerous specimens of an¬ cient and modern locks. In March, Mr. Waldo Guild, of the Heald Machine Co., delivered a talk on Hydraulic Control of Machinery. A talk on Color Photography was given in April by Dr. Arthur C. Hardy, professor of Optics and Photography at M. I. T. The speaker at the May meeting was Mr. N. F. Schlegel, Gen¬ eral Electric Co., on Apprentice Training and Training of Skilled Workers. 94 OFFICERS Albert J. Kullas, Jr. President Roland Anderson. Vice President Ernest L. Sykes.

During the year the chapter met seven times to hear prom¬ inent men speak on various phases of Civil Engineering. The chapter also sent four men to the fall meeting of the national organization in Boston and two to the spring meeting held in New York City. Alan P. Richmond, Jr., the Assistant Secretary of the Society, spoke at the first meeting of the chapter. His subject dealt with the advantages the parent society has to offer the student and the recent graduate. Summer work of students was the subject of the second meeting when four underclassmen spoke on their summer en¬ gineering work. A new innovation was success¬ fully tried at the third meeting when Professor Higginbottom was asked to speak on the theatre. At the fourth meeting J. H. Brooks, the Superintendent of the Worcester Sewerage Dis¬ posal Plant, gave an illustrated lecture on modern sewerage disposal methods. Leon Good- ale, the Superintendent of the Worcester Water Department spoke at the next meeting on water supply. In March, pictures of the Golden Gate Bridge were shown to the chapter and discussed by an engineer from the United States Steel Corporation. The season was closed at the an¬ nual banquet. A. S. C.

The main purpose of this society is to bring out abilities and interests of the students by having them prepare talks and reports to be given at the meetings, and to bring them into contact with the engineering world through men experienced in this field. In extending its purposes, the Tech society, which consists of fifty-four students and prac¬ tically all the faculty, has had three meetings this year, the most important one being a joint meeting with the Worcester section of the or¬ ganization. This was a supper meeting, at which the students were guests of the local chapter. The subject discussed, by a very reputable speaker, was Safety, as proposed by the National Organization. Proposals by either the national organization or the local section are always heeded, as there is very close cooperation be¬ tween the three. This cooperation is valuable to the students, for when they graduate they are eligible to membership in any local section, and they are able to take an active part in its activities. This year, as usual, Tech is being well repre¬ sented at the Northeastern Conference which is being held at Lenox, Mass., in May. At these conferences many of the different branches pre¬ sent papers in competition for two different types of prizes. One is given for excellence of presentation, and the other for excellence in content of paper. For the past several years our branch has won both types of prizes, and hopes to win again this year, by presenting two papers. Through the student branch the students have a fine chance to contact professional engineers and to secure excellent information of many different phases of electrical engineering. A. I. E. E.

The purpose of the club is to develop the art of self-expression among students through debates with other colleges and within the club. If the students maintain their present active interest, the future of the club looks very bright. The club has the support of President Earle and the College, and also Dean Coombs, the coach.

Eugene Gravlin ' P ' HE Inierfraternity Council was first organ- ized on a tentative basis in 1911 and invited faculty representation. The original represen¬ tatives of the faculty were Prof. H. B. Smith and Dr. Bullard. Due to the work and untiring interest shown by Prof. Smith, the council was firmly established four years later, in 1915, when President Hollis and the different chapters fully approved of the new constitution. The council is composed of two representa¬ tives from the faculty, and one from each na¬ tional chapter on the Hill at the time. The purpose of the council was to promote general good fellowship, establish uniformity in the actions of the several fraternities, and to fur¬ ther a closer relationship between the chapters and the faculty. The credit for the success of the council at the start of its career must go to Prof. Smith. One of the first constructive acts of this council was to supply an incentive for higher scholar¬ ship among fraternity men. Prof. Smith pro¬ vided a small bronzed plaster replica of the famous Rodin statue, “The Thinker”, which was put into competition in 1916, to be awarded annually to the chapter having the highest average grades. Even today this statue is one of the most highly prized fraternity awards. Today the success of the Interfraternity Coun¬ cil is evident. It has organized one of the smoothest working rushing systems and it has charge of the annual ball which is one of the outstanding social events of the school year. The council promotes “invitation dinners” among the chapters on the Hill, provides speak¬ ers for informal talks, and finally furthers the common interest of the chapters and lessens occasions for friction. 100 FACULTY Professor William Phinney Doctor Leland T.

It is the thirteenth old¬ est Greek-letter society in America. The local chapter, Pi Iota, of Phi Gamma Delta was founded largely by the efforts of Archibald MacCullagh, a member of the Beta chapter at the University of Pennsylvania. Mac¬ Cullagh influenced two of his friends to start a chapter at Tech and on December 11, 1891, Pi Iota held its first meeting. Phi Gamma Delta today is one of the leading houses on the Hill both in athletics and studies, being well represented in every extra-curricula activity in school. In this school year to date Phi Gam has won the Interfraternity swim¬ ming and track meets and has placed well enough in all the other contests to have a fine chance of retaining the Interfraternity Cham¬ pionship Cup. At mid-years Phi Gam stood second among all fraternities in scholarship, which all proves the strength of Phi Gamma Delta at Tech.

It was intended to become national and before the Civil War had fourteen chapters. There was such a great amount of opposition to expansion into the North that it was not until 1883 that the first chapter in the North was established. This was at Gettysburg College in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. S.A.E. entered New England at Boston Uni¬ versity in 1892, and this chapter was followed rapidly by chapters at Harvard and M. I. T. The way was paved for a chapter at Tech by the formation of the Tech Cooperative Society at about this same time. This society petitioned the fraternity and on March 10, 1894, the chap¬ ter was installed in an initiation at Auburndale where it had been the custom of the three Boston chapters to hold joint initiations.

From 1904 to 1906 this club was a small local fraternity in a house on West Street, on the site of our present dirt tennis courts. Six students had secretly founded the organization and it was some time before the fact became known that a new club, with a constitution, pledges and ideals, lived on the W. P. I. campus. When this was found out, however, existence was made exceedingly diffi¬ cult by the two national fraternities which had been inaugurated at the Institute in 1895 and another local named Theta Chi. But the foun¬ ders chose men carefully, taking only those who would definitely be assets, and the Arm and Hammer grew larger and stronger, until, on November 27, 1906, there was received a charter from the national headquarters of A.T.O. The fraternity remained in the same building until 1910, at which time it removed to the present structure at 24 Institute Road.

It was soon realized that the membership requirement,—a varsity letter in one of the recognized sports—was too severe, and the aims were broadened ‘primarily to foster clean athletics at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.” This society acquired a house on Lancaster Terrace, when, on March 20, 1909, it was in¬ stalled into Theta Chi. Later, the need for more room was felt, and the chapter acquired the large duplex house at the corner of Dean and Salisbury Streets. CHAPTER ROSTER SENIORS P. H. Bergstrom W. O. Nygaard S. F.

Four years after that the group opened the doors of 30 Trowbridge Road, their new home. Since then, Lambda Chi has been constantly active on the Hill. This year social activities were unusually frequent. After a long rushing season the house entertained its freshmen with a Pledge Dance. The chapter took its part in the Interfraternity Ball shortly afterwards, and later in the Tech Carnival and the Junior Prom Weekend. On Homecoming Day, Pi Zeta was host to the Brown Chapter of Lambda Chi, giving the visitors a buffet supper and dance. In March the men entertained representatives from all the New England chapters at the an¬ nual New England Conclave. In May spring weather aided the home-coming of the alumni for the Initiation Banquet and the arrival of relatives and friends for the Parents’ Day Ban¬ quet. Then the doors of 30 Trowbridge will close for the short interval of vacation during the summer months. PHI SIGMA KAPPA First Roiu— Pacek, Fraser, Dudiacek, Anderson, Blauvelt, McDonald, Kimball.

Downing SENIORS r T ' HE present local chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa had its origin in 1902, when it was organized as a small local fraternity known as Theta Chi. It grew and prospered, and in 1909 the name was changed to Kappa Xi Alpha when a chapter of the national fraternity, Theta Chi, came to the Hill. In 1915, the members of this local obtained a charter as a chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa. Phi Sigma Kappa originated at Massachu¬ setts Agricultural College about four years after the founding of this Institute. It is one of the largest and strongest national fraternities. During this past school year the members of Phi Sig have participated actively in the many school affairs. In the fraternity itself, many other activities have been sponsored. The chap¬ ter gave a very successful party for its return¬ ing Alumni on the annual Homecoming Day last fall. The new pledges were honored with a dance a few weeks before the midyear exams. Later in the year a party at which all the brothers appeared as sailors furnished variety from the usual dance. R. B. Abbe C. C. Bonin D. L. Milliken J. L. Bartlett R. V. Bergstrom J. H. Blaisdell T.

Wickstrand HETA KAPPA PHI was founded from the roots of an organization called the X club that existed at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Penn., during the year 1914-1915. The X club was an organization of Catholic men and to this day the ideals and principles of that orig¬ inal club have been maintained in Theta Kappa Phi. It later joined a similar group at Penn State and adopted the Greek letters Theta Kappa Phi, to form the nucleus of the national or¬ ganization. o Since that ti me, fifteen chapters have been petitioned and been accepted into Theta Kappa Phi. Lambda chapter is the eleventh chapter and is the one located at the Worcester Poly¬ technic Institute. Lambda grew out of a local fraternity at Tech called the Friars which was organized in 1930. Its ideals and purposes were strikingly similar and attracted many Catholic men into its fold. Thus the Friars prospered and augmented its position on the campus sufficiently to petition for a national charter. This was done and the outcome was that in the fall of 1935 during the month of November, the installation of the Friars into Theta Kappa Phi as the Lambda chapter took place.

Sigma Phi Epsilon, formerly Theta Upsilon Omega, has been well represented in many of the activities on the Hill. In interfraternity competition, the fraternity has been moderately successful and, in providing varsity material, has done very well indeed. Perhaps of most importance of the year’s events was the merger of Theta Upsilon Omega with Sigma Phi Epsilon. When the chapter was affiliated with T.U.O., it belonged to a rather small group, whereas now it belongs to one of the Big Ten in the fraternity world. The mer¬ ger marks the third step in the growth of the original local known as Delta Tan. As a new organization, the Massachusetts Beta chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon looks to a bright future and hopes it will succeed in fulfilling its obligations as a W. P. I. fraternity. J. R. Buck B. C.

Re¬ lations between these New England chapters are kept at a high level by means of monthly Dis¬ trict Council meetings, and inter-chapter sports and social programs. 109 ATHLETIC COUNCIL ' r ' ' HERE is perhaps nothing that adds as much to a college as a well organized athletic asso¬ ciation. At Tech we have what is considered to be one of the best among the smaller colleges. Every student has a chance to voice his opinion either directly or indirectly. The athletic coun¬ cil is elected by the student body. It is their duty to take care of the organizing of our athletic program. When changes are needed the council sees to it that they are made. Only recently the council has made Soccer a major sport. In recent years the basketball team has made such a good show¬ ing that the council is contemplating on giving the team a chance to play in New York. These are merely examples of the various questions that come before the council. It is also the council’s job to decide who shall wear the “W” and who shall manage our athletic teams. The average student doesn’t realize the work connected with organized athletics and therefore doesn’t realize the value of an efficient athletic council. The council is very fortunate in having “Doc” Carpenter as a Chairman. Doc is not only good as far as judging athletics but he is also a capable business man, and regardless of what might be said there has to be a certain amount of business connected with the college sports. Adequate equipment has to be purchased for present day athletics. Worcester has no cause to be ashamed of their teams when they go on the field. “Doc” with the aid of the council has charge of the buying in this line. As there is only a certain amount of money great care must be exercised in the way it is spent. Other members elected to the council are usually connected in some way with athletics so that they are well able to carry out their assignments. Every fall the athletic council entertains the athletes at a large banquet held at Sanford Riley Hall. At this time the various insignias and other awards are given out. Excellent speakers are secured for this gathering. Every spring the Council holds a similar affair for the whole student body. It is at this party that the stu¬ dent gets a chance to see the work performed by the Council, through various speeches and awards. Realizing that such a small percentage of the student body is well acquainted with the nature of the duties of the Athletic Council, it is per- missable to quote here what the Constitution of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute Athletic Association states in regard to the Council: “Athletic Council: The Athletic Council shall have general charge of athletics at the Institute. It shall have power to dismiss from office any captain or manager under this constitution. This Athletic Council shall distribute the funds among the several athletic interests. In matters pertaining to the promotion and regulation of athletics this council shall have full power, sub¬ ject to faculty restriction. In case of a vacancy among the student members in the Athletic Council the remaining members shall tempor¬ arily appoint another representative to serve until the election in the usual manner of a member to fill the vacancy.” 112 Seated —Carpenter (faculty); Mudgett; President Earle; Knight (faculty).

Jenkins, ’38 113 FOOT npHE record of the 1937 Tech football team A was one of admirable achievement. With three wins and three losses to their credit, the team rolled up a record that has not been equalled for many seasons. While on the sur¬ face a three-win, three-loss score does not seem to be a boasting matter, still, upon considering the adverse conditions with which the gridsters are haunted, they must be complimented for their fine showing. Due to afternoon classes, regular practice sessions must of necessity be very short in duration. Attendance at fall prac¬ tices before school officially opens is cut to a minimum because of the fact that many of the gridsters must take shop courses during this period. At the start of the season Coach Bigler was confronted with the problem of replacing four varsity men who had graduated the previous spring. Fortunately however, a large number of Co-Captains —Everett Leach, Richard Elliott Manager— Raymond Perreault Coach —Ivan E. Bigler the 1936 stpiacl returned and these men, to¬ gether with several Freshmen who reported later, resulted in one of the finest small college teams in New England. Particularly noticeable this season was the de¬ velopment of individual stars soon after mid¬ season. Lambert, Atkinson, and Scott ended the season as outstanding players, whereas at the start they had not been too effective. There is little doubt that Harry Kingsley would have been the brightest of this galaxy were it not for the fact that an injury sustained early in the season considerably hampered his playing. Tak¬ ing his place along with these newcomers was the ever brilliant Ray Forkey. Just as last year his kicking and passing were superlative, while in backing up the line he was a bulwark of de¬ fense. Lewin, Stone, and Rushton, a starring triumvirate of the past two seasons more than held their own this year. In the season opener with Coast Guard Acad¬ emy, the Hillmen let a potential victory slip through their fingers when the Tars blocked and recovered one of Forkey’s kicks. Leading the Sailors until well in the third quarter, and outplaying them in most instances, the Engi¬ neers could not hold onto their advantage till the end of the contest. The Techmen earned their lone touchdown in the second quarter after an initial bracket full of exchange punts. Harry Kingsley started the march down the field by running back one of the Tar’s punts 15 yards to their 45 yard stripe. Two unsuccessful passes by Forkey fol- 114 BALL lowed. His third was to Harry Kingsley and was completed on the Hoarder ' s 25 and was run to the 15 by Kingsley. Forkey then blasted through the center of the line for the touch¬ down. It was Dick McClendon, New London’s right wing who blocked Forkey’s kick on Tech’s own 30 yard line. Elmer Crock caught the high bounding ball and ran it down to the Engi¬ neer’s 15 yard line. This put the Tars in scor¬ ing position for the first time in the entire game. From this point of vantage the New Londoners made a first down by rushes and ended their drive when quarterback Engel flipped a short pass over center to Waldron. With the score tied Waldron successfully kicked the winning goal. Tech found itself in scoring position later when Pete Stone recovered a fumble well in the Sailor’s territory. Sloppy handling of the ball, however, returned the ball to the oppo¬ nents on the following play. In the second game of the season, with Trinity, Tech found itself once more the underdog by a score of 26-19. Worcester kicked off to Trinity and Trinity punted after making slight gains giving the ball to Tech on their own 40 yard line. From here Worcester smashed its way to the Trinity 20 yard stripe and from here a short pass over the center with a lateral to Kingsley gave Worcester the first score. Forkey place kicked the extra point. The next kickoff was the signal for the Hartford boys to let loose a barrage of pigskin shells which wreaked havoc with the Tech defense. Pass after pass was com¬ pleted and when the smoke cleared away Trinity had rolled up two seven pointers. At the end of the first period Trinity led by a score of 14 to 7. Trinity scored again in the second period with the aid of a fine passing attack which tied the Tech defense into knots. It was in the second half of the contest that Worcester staged its valiant comebac k rally. This was started after Trinity scored its fourth and final touchdown in the third period. Taking a tip from Trinity, the Hillmen took to the air themselves and unleashed a strong, passing at¬ tack with Ray Forkey in the driver’s scat. This resulted in two touchdowns for the Engineers, one in the third and one in the fourth quarter. 1’he final score was 26-19. With a great display to offensive technique, a 1 ' 5 FOOTBALL superior Conn. State eleven pinned a third set¬ back on the Engineers in as many starts with a score of 21-6. The Techmen received the first kick-off and returned it to mid-field. Then on the first play, Conn, recovered a fumble and took the ball. On the second down Posner of Conn, skirt¬ ed his left end and following effective interfer¬ ence ran 50 yards to a score. Thompson con¬ verted, making the score 7-0. Worcester, aroused by this early calamity im¬ mediately retaliated by a 65 yard march cul¬ minated by a visit to pay dirt in the form of a Forkey to Rushton pass in the end zone. Forkey’s placement was blocked. In the second period Conn, scored again after a march from mid-field and Thompson again kicked the extra point leaving the score at half time 14-6 with the Engineers on the small side. The Nutmeggers showed the greatest offensive power yet encountered by the Tech line, and Conn, gained most of its yardage on power plays thrown through the line from tackle to tackle. Their backs ran hard and the blocking was deadly. End sweeps behind interference ac¬ counted for many of the Stater’s first downs. For the home team, Forkey’s passing was the most effective yard gainer. The lone score was made with one of Forkey’s heaves, of which he completed about 50 per cent. It was in the final seconds of the game that Conn, tallied their final score after a powerful march from mid-field. Thompson again kicked the point, his third, leaving the score 21-6 at the final gun. In the fourth game the Engineers hammered out a 14-0 victory over Mass. State. It was a timely victory, gladdening the hearts of many old grads who were back for “Home Coming Day”. A different team than Pete Bigler had fielded before maltreated the opposition so ef¬ fectively in offense that the outclassed Staters threatened but once. Late in the second quarter the Statemen ad¬ vanced to Worcester’s three yard line but were stopped by the powerful Tech defense. Here State lost the ball on downs and the Hill men began a scoring drive. Lambert, Forkey and Gustafson led a march featured by many spec¬ tacular running and passing plays which ended when Gustafson plunged through center for a touchdown. An attempted pass for the extra point failed. 1 tG Just before half time, Harry Kingsley, re¬ placing Gustafson, received a punt and scamp¬ ered 59 yards, with fine blocking from his mates, to cross the State goal standing up. The play, however was called back when someone on the Tech line was detected clipping. Early in the third quarter the second Crimson and Gray tally was chalked up on a long Forkey-Rushton pass. The attempted forward for the seventh unit was grounded. In the closing moments of play, Forkey booted a high spiral which rolled to the one yard line. An M. S. C. man made the error of picking up the ball an d was tackled behind the line for a safety. These two points brought the final score of the game to 14-0. Next to be crushed under the terrific Tech machine was Rhode Island State. The battle was a thrilling one from start to finish climaxed by a 95 yard runback of an intercepted lateral by Pete Stone, Tech end. It was a game charac¬ terized by the so-called “breaks” induced mostly by the high wind, both teams constantly threat¬ ening to score. The Tech team showing the same spirit it had in the Mass. State game, re¬ pulsed R. I. State again and again, and, utiliz¬ ing all its chances, scored twice to defeat the Rams 12-2. Midway in the third period, the Rhode Islanders scored their lone two points on a re¬ covered fumble. Tech immediately retaliated with a series of long drives through the Ram’s line. The ball battered R. I. line on every play. A pass, Forkey to Lambert, followed by a lateral to Gustafson accounted for the first Tech score. In the final frame Pete Stone intercepted a lateral and made one of the most spectacular runs ever achieved on a Tech gridiron. He shook off would-be tacklers and raced 95 yards for the score. A pass, Forkey to Korolyshun, for the extra point failed. The season’s last game found the Tech team taking a 14-0 victory over its traditional rival, Rensselaer. After successfully staving off the Trojans in their early scoring threats, Tech again found passing the shortest way to a score. Taking possession late in the second quarter, the Techmen, taking possession on their own 40 yard line executed a series of Forkey-thrown passes which resulted in a goal and extra point. In the third period a series of passes and off- tackle plays brought the ball from mid-field to Rensselaer’s one yard line. Lambert then went through center for the final score. The results of the last three games proved conclusively that Tech had an excellent team. It was unfortunate that they could not show their real talent in their first three starts. If they had played the same brand of football in the early encounters of the season as they did in the later the final reckoning for the Fall might have been a vastly different story. 117 BASKET Captain —David McEwan Manager—Roger Young Coach —Ivan E. Bigler tt tORCESTER’S 1937-38 basketball team ’ won only ten of its sixteen games in an unlucky campaign. Although the season was disappointing to Tech supporters who had ex¬ pected much from a veteran squad, it was un¬ beatable from a spectator’s point of view. In no less than eleven out of the sixteen contests only two points separated the two teams when the three-minute signal appeared on the score board. The margins of victory in the six games Worcester lost were: four, ten, three, five, two, and one. The unusual starting lineup was the same as that of the previous season. It included Captain Dave McEwan and Dick Munson at the forward posts, A 1 Raslavsky at center, and Rushton and Forkey in the back court. Jenkins, Berg¬ strom, Elliott, Folmsbee, Schlora, Bellows, and Wells comprised the rest of the squad. Piling up 837 points to their opponents 712, the vet¬ erans displayed unparalleled lloorwork and a solid zone defense but failed in decisive moments to convert their scoring chances. The new rule eliminating the center tap removed a great deal of the advantage of their great height. Opening night brought the Assumption “Greyhounds” down from Greenclale. The Tech team simply outclassed their opponents. Going into the second half with a 24-14 lead the Engineers put on a display of passing and shooting which argued well for a successful sea¬ son. Final score Tech 51, Assumption 27. In the other game before Christmas Worces¬ ter met a Colby team experiencing their first year in intercollegiate basketball. The tight zone defense of l ech baffled them completely, again the opposition was hoplessly out of the game soon after the opening whistle. W. P. I. 51, Colby 31. The Engineers returned from the holidays to easily trim Fitchburg State Teachers 56-25 in a slow moving, uninteresting game. When the first team refused to take the affair seriously Pete substituted the entire second team who were more than a match for the visitors. Continuing their winning streak Tech tri¬ umphed over Trinity in the first away game. The Hartford boys matched Worcester point for point in a thrill-packed first half which ended at 23 all. Opening the second canto with a burst of speed Worcester built up an eight point lead before Trinity could score. From this point on they were never headed, ending at Worcester 57, Trinity 41. Up to Jan. 15 Worcester and Wesleyan were two undefeated teams in New England, but when that evening was over both had bowed to defeat. The Boston ETniversity Terriers were the conquerors, topping the Engineers 58-54. In a whirlwind start B. U. went ahead by ten points before Tech opened its attack. However, 118 BALL at half time the W. P. I. men were ahead 28-24 after a great up-hill battle. The five starting iron-men who played all 40 minutes hung on to their slim lead tenaciously, but in the last three minutes a fresh Boston substitute settled the is¬ sue by firing three long shots past the exhausted Tech team. Neclitem, the Terrier star, scored 27 points in an amazing exhibition of sharp¬ shooting. Tech next journeyed to Medford in an at¬ tempt to gain revenge over Tufts for defeats in the two previous seasons. The starting reserve team soon retired after Tufts had assumed a g-o lead. The varsity easily overcame this and led 23-16 at half time. Just as Worcester ap¬ peared to be headed for an easy victory, Tufts unbelievably sank long shot after long shot to take the lead 38-37. But an Engineer rally at this point put the game on ice. Tech won 49-43 at the gun. The Tufts victory revived early season hopes of a New England Championship. “If we can get by Rhode Island” was the only topic of conversation around Boynton Hall for the rest of the week. As the doors were closed with sev¬ eral hundred spectators still outside, Worcester shot off to a 23-13 lead in the first five minutes. But the team could not maintain the deadly pace which would have netted them 180 points in the 40 minutes. After Jack Rushton was forced out with a knee injury, Rhode Island worked in a series of shots to take a lead 36-33 at the half. They were never headed. Near the end of the game Tech rallied to trail by only two points 63-61, but the deadly shooting of the Rhode Island team was too much for our exhausted boys. The final score was exceptional¬ ly high 71-61 for Rhode Island. In a game which had the spectators standing up all the way Worcester took Brown into camp 45-44. After Brown had overcome Tech’s 10-0 starting lead neither team led at any time by more than three points. The best exhibition of the year was put on by Platt of the opponents whose 23 points kept Brown in the game. As usual it was the out- McEwan, Munson, Jenkins, Rushton, Bigler (Coach), Forkey, Raslavsky, Bergstrom, Elliott. lig standing team-work of the Tech team that feat¬ ured rather than the efforts of any individual player. In the first game after mid-years the engineers were top heavy favorites to beat Clark. But Tech woke up near the end of the game too late to stop the game, too late to stop the boys from across the railroad tracks from winning out by a 52-49 score. Clark’s beautiful rush to a 17 point lead at the beginning of the second half was responsible for this sad state of affairs. In the Northeastern game the reserves showed to better than the first stringers. The game was carelessly played and resulted in an easy victory for l ech 49-28. The showing of Fresh¬ man All Bellos, high scorer of the evening, was a bright spot. It took the varsity 30 minutes to overcome the ten point lead Vermont gained over the reserves in the first few minutes. But the Engineers were only able to hold their advantage for a minute. Then the Vermonters regained it and wound up the evening with Tech on the short end of the 45-50 score. In the return game with Clark, Worcester’s idea was to prove conclusively they were the city’s best team by giving Clark a real shellack¬ ing. But the Tech men had to be content with a 45-39 win. The six point margin of victory was not produced until the last five minutes. The result left Clark claiming the city champ¬ ionship since they had concptered Assumption twice. After the first team had built up a 24-6 ad¬ vantage over the Coast Guard in the first eight minutes the reserves went in and played the remainder of the night. With the score 38-13 at the half the sailors were never in the contest. Final score: Worcester 55, Coast Guard 34. Pete’s concern for the regulars was due to the hard game coming up the next night with Mass. State. The first half was all W. P. I. The team played championship ball to best State 31-17. But in the second half the Staters began hitting First Row— Bellos, Folmsbee. Second Row— Jenkins, Bergstrom, Munson, McEwan, Elliott, Raslavsky. Third Row —Young (Manager), Schlora, Forkey, Wells, Rushton, Bigler (Coach). 1 20 ihe basket from outside, with only four minutes to go they were ahead 45-40. At this stage Mc- Ewan, Raslavsky, and Munson gave a display of the best shooting of the year to give Tech the game 59-55. With one man, Peterson, scoring 20 points Conn. State got off to a 36-22 lead in the first half of the game at Storrs. But the second half presented a changed picture. A fighting Tech team led by McEwan and Raslavsky gradually reduced the opponent’s lead and with about three minutes to play went ahead by one basket, 57-55. Tech rooters had but a few seconds to cheer as Conn. State rapidly made it 57-61. Tech was unable to get more than one more basket and while the Nutmeggers cleverly stalled, the game ended 59-61 for Conn. State. The final game of the season with Springfield was another heart breaker. Ahead 52-47 with only sixty seconds to go Tech was unable to freeze the ball. In that last minute the Spring- field boys found the hoop three times to take the game. To make it worse the Engineers had rallied beautifully at the beginning of the second half to convert a halftime 18-28 deficit into that five point lead. Again Tech looks forward to next season with high hopes. Four of the iron men will be back, and only four seniors will be gone from the entire varsity squad. 121 BASE Captain —Albert Raslavsky Manager— Paul Murphy Coach —Ivan E. Bigler A FTER a phenomenal start, with three victories in the first three starts, the 1937 baseball club ran up against some opposition a little stiffer than it could handle, to finish up the season with a percentage of .500. Although one man cannot make a ball team, a great deal of credit is due to A 1 Raslavsky who won four out of his five games and hit very consistently. The first three games, a lop-sided victory of 17-7, over Assumption, a close 3-2 decision over Coast Guard, and a 6-2 win over Clark, were all victories for Ras. Noticeably weakened by A 1 Bodreau’s being- confined to the bench due to a thumb injury, the team suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of Rhode Island State. The team played very good ball behind the pitching of John Driscoll but they were unable to get to the offering of Fitch, pitching for State. In the next game, decidedly out-classed and out of form, Tech suffered a humiliating 16-1 defeat handed out by Mass. State and particular¬ ly Fred Riel, who fanned nine and allowed but two hits. Ed Roszko, relieving Driscoll in the third, did well considering the support behind him. File Engineers hit their stride again by taking Clark for the second time, 3-0. It was a duel between Ras and Granger of Clark, with Tech bunching its few hits sufficiently to come out on top; A 1 got into a tight spot in the ninth but bore down in the pinch, to emerge with his fourth victory. Trinity College handed the Biglermen their third defeat of the season at Hartford, to the tune of 8-5. The very versatile Ben Lambert did the hurling; after a somewhat shaky start in which he allowed the opponents to build up a lead that was never cpiite overcome, he settled down to do a good job until relieved by Driscoll in the eighth. In its final game. Tech received its fourth de¬ feat of the season from Northeastern with a score of 9-8. The Engineers gradually built up a lead till the fifth inning, went to pieces at that point, allowing the opponents six runs, pulled them¬ selves together to tie the score in the ninth, only to be beaten by a fluke in that frame. This was Raslavsky’s only defeat. Early in April of 1938, when the crowd had been cleared away by the first cut, it appeared that, although only two of last year’s men, Cap¬ tain Jack Casey and Tom Windgardner, had not returned, there would be considerable com¬ petition for several positions, As “Pete” Bigler, patiently worked out with the men, giving them the advantage of all his knowledge of the sport, quite a bit of talent showed itself in the class of 122 BALL ’41 and when uniforms had been given out and the beginning of the season neared, it seemed probable that there would be three freshman regulars, two of them displacing upper classmen. With the exception of Raslavsky in right field, the line-up that did so well in the first game, a 4-0 victory over Assumption with Ben Lam¬ bert pitching, will probably be the regular team. Ben did a good job, striking out twelve batters, and bearing down in the pinches to get himself out of a couple of bad holes; the playing and some clever hitting by his team-mates behind him bode well for a good season. The team which did this good job and shows promise of continuing it, consists of Jack Rush ton at first, Don Atkinson, a freshman, at second, Ray Forkey at short, Elmer Scott, another freshman, at third, A 1 Bodreau behind the plate, and Frank Gustaf¬ son, Paul Bonin, a first-year man and probably Pete Stone in the field; Captain A 1 Raslavsky, Ben Lambert, John Driscoll, and Ed Roszko will probably all see action on the mound. First Row— Schaller, Carroll, Bodreau, Gustafson. Second Row— Peterson, Korolyshun, Stone, Atkinson, Driscoll, McKeown. Third Row —Bigler (Coach), Roszko, Lambert, Rushton, Raslavsky, Forkey, Bonin, Scott, Murphy (Manager). l 23 soc Captain — J oh n M udge 11 Manager— Edward Turner Coach— Prof. Edwin Higginbottom ' P ' HjlS year, by virtue of a vote by the Athletic Council soccer became a major sport on the Hill. In return for the larger “W” and the honor bestowed upon it, the team outdid itself and rolled up an enviable record of four wins and two losses during a successful season. Much of the credit for rounding into shape a winning combination must go to the coach— as usual, the mild-mannered, quiet-spoken but efficient Professor Higginbottom, and to Captain John Mudgett. The Seniors who had berths on the squad this season were Captain Mudgett and Dick Donovan who played regularly in the for¬ ward line, and Byron Wilson who saw consid¬ erable action in the same position. The Junior class was very well represented on the team; those having regular positions were Dave Me- Ewan, center forward and undoubtedly one of the best players in intercollegiate soccer, Gun- narcl Pearson, the goalie, Ernie Ljunggren, a steady-playing full-back, Jack Hollick, Wally Abel, and Bill Kay filling the half-back line, and Bill Alter, also a forward. From the same class there were Don Houser and Don Burness to do relief work as half-backs. The Sophomores who played regularly were Tom Windgardner at forward and Ken Fraser at full-back, while Ronnie Brand helped out in the outside for¬ ward spot. Bud Whittaker working regularly as a forward and Bill Bosyk substituting as a half-back were the representatives of the first year class. The team will certainly miss the services of Donovan and Mudgett, who have been playing fine ball for the last three seasons. But with only two men leaving because of graduation and with the rest of the team having an added year of experience in their boots, prospects for next year look good. Those who won their letters last fall are: Captain Mudgett, Donovan, McEwan, Ljunggren, Abel, Hollick, Kay, Windgardner, Fraser, Arter, Whittaker, and Wilson. Since soccer has now become a major sport at Tech, these men are sporting red sweaters with the block “W” upon it. The 1937 season started with the team trav¬ eling to Providence to play Brown University. Tech’s playing in the first half was rather in¬ different and two goals were scored against them, but, after a rest and a little advice from the coach between periods, they came back in the second half to hold their hosts to one point. Then Dave McEwan drove one into the net to make the final score 3-1. Pearson, a new goalie this season, turned a fine performance. On the following week the team, playing a much smoother game than against Brown, pro¬ ceeded to take its first victory drubbing Trinity 5-0, at the Hartford held. Due to the fine cooper¬ ation front his team-mates and the fact that there was but one man “on” him, McEwan clicked in fine style to score four of the points; Bud Whittaker, a freshman starting his first game for Tech, scored the remaining one. I he next victim of Coach Higginbottom’s combination was Connecticut State; it was Tech’s first home game and the first contest on the new soccer held. After Dave had scored his hrst point, three men were assigned to him, but he was not to be stopped and drove in two more before the final whistle. Jack Hollick also sent one into the net, while the wonderful de¬ fense work of Ljunggren and Fraser held the opponents scoreless to make the score 4-0. In the “Home-Coming Day” game, Tech swamped Fitchburg State Teacher’s College with a score of 8-1. I he held was very sloppy and the game slow so Dave scored a smaller per¬ centage of the goals than usual, tallying three in all; Tom Windgardner scored two, and Jack Mudgett, Bud Whittaker, and By Wilson one 124 CER each. Ernie Ljunggren, the mainstay of the defense, was confined to the bench due to a knee injury, but with Ken Fraser playing bril¬ liantly and Jack Hollick and Bill Kay setting up scoring plays, there was little to worry about. In the final home game of the year, Tufts was subdued by a score of 2-0. Due to a very strong wind, a great deal of the stress fell on the defensive players but the Medford Boys, gen¬ erally conceded to have a good team, were un¬ able to crack the wall put up by Ljunggren, Fraser, and Pearson. Not until the last period was l ech able to score but in that quarter Cap¬ tain Mudgett broke through with two well- aimed shots into the net and thus sewed up the game. During the game, Tech showed no individual starring but rather gave a fine ex¬ ample of a smooth-playing unit. Tech suffered its second defeat when it in¬ vaded Clark’s field for the last game of the sea¬ son; the play of the game was somewhat sloppy and rough all the way through. The first tally was made by Dave McEwan in the second period, but Clark soon tied the score with a beautiful long shot, one of the highlights of the game. In the second half, the Engineers’ playing was decidedly below par, and, unable to score them¬ selves, they allowed Clark one point, to lose the game with a score of 2-1. Next year the team will be led by two men; Ernie Ljunggren, a member of Phi Sigma Kap¬ pa and pianist for the Boyntonians, and Dave McEwan, member of Phi Gamma Delta and player on the basketball, golf, and track teams. These Co-captains should have a winning club next season since the majority of the team has had two or three years of playing in intercol¬ legiate competition. First Row— Donovan, Wilson, Bosyk, Mudgett, McEwan, Ljunggren, Fraser, Artcr. Second Row— Whitaker, Houser, Windgardner, Abel, Brand, Smith, Hollick, Kay, Pearson. Back —Turner (Manager), Higginbotlom (Coach). !25 SWIM Captain —Robert Evans Manager— Robert N immo Coach —Frank Grant npHlS season found the Fuller pool natators with two wins in nine starts, which is fair considering the training and backing which the sport receives here. Throughout the season, it should be noted that we had entered no diver which automatically donated an eight point lead to the opponents. Maggiola, a sophomore, who started in the early season, found it impos¬ sible to further his efforts for Tech. W. P. I. 40, M. I T. 37 The season opened with bright prospects when the Boynton swimmers took M. I. T. awash in Boston. The meet was not as closely con¬ tested as the score might indicate, as Coach Frank Grant used a second team to give away the free-style relay to the M. I. T. team. Two sophomores, Tommy Love and Walt (Iron Man) Crandall, stole the show being double winners in sweeping the four free-style events. Jack Kama provided a thriller when he pulled himself out of what seemed to be a triple tie to win in the backstroke. The final check-up revealed that Platukis was third. Captain Bob Evans set too steady a pace for the wild-thrashing M. I. T. “butterfly” swimmers. M. I. T.’s only real victory was in the diving event. Amherst 51, W. P. I. 17 Mass. State 58, W. P. I. 19 Wesleyan 57, W. P. I. 18 Progressing under handicaps, we were solidly dunked by Amherst, Mass. State and Wesleyan. Out of the puddle of defeats emerged Tech’s shining light of the year—an undefeated medley relay team of Joe Platukis, Bob Evans, and Tommy Love who swam backstroke, breast¬ stroke, and free-style respectively, for 100 yards each. The time of 3:18.1 for the 300 yards made in the Wesleyan meet came within a second of the college record. Tech flew her colors again when the Tech pilot won the breaststroke in the Mass. State meet. W. P. I. 44, Coast Guard 32 An indication of a winning team is a water¬ logged manager. Bob Nimmo was the victim of a victory dunking party as he splashed in the Fuller pool at the close of the Coast Guard meet. Double winners were Tommy Love in free-style sprints and versatile Captain Bob Evans who won both the 220 yard free-style and the 200 yard breaststroke. “Iron man” Crandall, so- dubbed because of the ferrous nature of the men required to swim his 220 and 440 yard free-style “sprints”, came through in great style winning the 440 and giving the team a clean sweep in the 220. Rensselaer 53, W. P. I. 21 Conn. State 48, W. P. I. 23 Trinity 57, W. P. I. 17 B U. 58, W. P. I. 16 The Rensselaer team submerged us as Platukis, Evans, and Love kept Tech in the win column by winning the medley relay. Tech’s only first place individualist was Captain Evans in the breaststroke. Tommy Love’s runner-up place in the free-style sprint completed Tech’s scoring. Conn. State could not best the stellar medley trio, nor Evans in the breaststroke although they made off with every other first place. Run¬ ner-up places were garnered by Kama in an exciting backstroke race, Goodchild in the breaststroke and Crandall in the quarter mile. Trinity was thorough in washing our team, taking all firsts and setting a pool record in the 200 yard breaststroke. Boston University completed the season for Tech in a disheartening meet. The medley relay team of Platukis, Evans, and Johansen finished 126 MING up fully 25 yards ahead of B. U.’s anchor man. Tech’s only smile of the day came when Clark Gooclchild and Captain Evans made off with the breaststroke honors, in which race B. U. was sadly outclassed, as in the medley relay. Platukas was barely touched out in the dorsal race. Since only two lettcrmen, Paul Murphy and Bob Evans, are graduating the prospects for next year indicate an aggregation whose strength will supersede that of Tech teams of the last four years. With a score of sophomore swimmers, and such stellar performers as Tommy Love and Walt Crandall, Coach Grant will be self sup¬ plied. Particularly promising is the sophomore transfer, Bill Riddick who is capable of breaking any of the college records in the free-style. First Row— Maggiola, Love. Second Row— Kuniholra, Platukis, Evans, Kama, Crandall. Third Roiu —Nimmo (Manager), Johanson, Haselton, Goodchild, Bartlett, Grant (Coach). 127 TRACK U NDER the leadership of Captain Mai Chandler, Tech opened its indoor season with Mass. State in the latter’s cage. When the final race had been run, the engineer tracksters were on the short end of a 462 3 to 25 1 3 score. The bright spot on the losers’ horizon Avas the performance of Freddie Wackerbarth in breaking both the Tech College and the Mass. State cage high jumping record with a leap of 5 ' g 3 4 . Other notable performers were Chandler in shot put, Fritch in the quarter mile, and Art Sullivan in the hurdles. The second and last meet of the indoor sea¬ son was a three-cornered affair with Mass. State and Tufts. In this meet the Boynton Hillers were largely shut out by their opponents and managed to gain only ten points. Despite the graduation of such dependable point-getters Capt. McGrath, Webster, Townsley, Frawley, and Hanson, the outlook for a suc¬ cessful outdoor season is very bright. This is due in part to the influx of talent from the fresh¬ man class. Constituting more than half of the team in number they dominate the sprints, the 440, and the broad jump. Outstanding among the freshman contend ers is Naboicheck, a pro¬ duct of Worcester Academy. Unable to compete in either of the indoor meets because of a foot infection, he is sure to win points in the sprints and the 440 yard dash when the team takes to the outdoors. Other prominent performers among the freshmen are Ferguson in the high- jump, the hurdles and the javelin, and White in the discus. Lettermen on the team are Captain Chandler, Cameron, Fritch, Fraser, Wackerbarth, LaLiberte, Blauvelt, and Minalga. In Spring Track the team opened its schedule by winning from a strong Conn. State team 70 1 3 to 64 i 2- Highlights of the meet were the breaking of the college javelin record by Minal- ga with a heave of 168 feet, a beautifully run 3:27 mile by Cameron, while Wackerbarth re¬ broke his own college high-jump record with a jump of 5 ft. 11 in Captain —Malcolm Chandle r Manager— Francis Swenson Coach— J.

The moral victory came in the Trinity meet when Tech placed four men among the first six but lost the meet 27-28. Let by Captain Martin, Franz Strandberg and Jack Lancaster, the team won easily over Connecticut State and Boston University, drop¬ ped a close one to Trinity and lost to Coast Guard, Massachusetts State and Rensselaer.

State in an initial appearance at the B. A. A. games, the team suffered a disappointing defeat when after leading by twenty yards it was finally nosed out at the finish line by Tufts. The winning time for this meet was better than that turned in by some of the larger colleges. The second and last race, run at the K. of C. games against the University of Maine and Bates was a nip and tuck affair. The final scoring found the University of Maine leading Tech by a hair. With the team intact for the coming season, 1939 should rank as the most successful season Tech has enjoyed. Coach— J.

Captain —Robert Nimmo Manager —Byron Wilson Coach —Russel V. Corsini T ENNIS has been an active sport on the Hill for twenty years with most of the teams terminating their respective seasons with more wins and ties than defeats. Although our net- men have slumped below average during the past five years, tennis again seems to be on the upgrade, and this year the team has made a good start. At this writing Tech has played three matches, winning the first over Vermont, 4-3, dropping the second to M. I. T., 6-0, but rallying from defeat to tie Assumption, 3-3. Bob Nimmo is Captain of the 1938 team and plays number one man; he is supported by Bill Bosworth as number two man, Ronnie Brand, Lenie Goldsmith, all of whom played on last year’s team. Bob Dunk¬ lee, ’40, is a new-comer who is showing a lot of promise and probably will see much action this year. Frank Jenkins, a Senior, came out for the team rather late but is expected to be matched quite often between now and gradua¬ tion. Nimmo and Bosworth have showed some good teamwork in the doubles, as have the other members of the team which all points toward a good season. Next year’s team will be handicapped by the loss of Captain Nimmo who has been a main¬ stay of the team for the past four years. How¬ ever, with another year’s experience behind them, and with the probability of some new material in the fall the prospects of the team are far from being dismal. GOLF E VER since its introduction as an official college activity at Tech in 1926, golf has been a rather successful sport. The first team ended its season undefeated having won all of their seven matches. The two years that fol¬ lowed were somewhat less successful. However the 1929 team returned to true form and won three, tied one, and lost two matches. For the next three years the team held its own winning and tying as many matches as they lost. The 1933 season was very poor, but the three follow¬ ing teams certainly made up for it by turning in top-notch performances as follows: four wins, two defeats; five wins and one defeat; and five wins, three defeats. Last year’s team played only five matches of which they won one and tied two. The golf team for 1938 is headed by Captain Herbert Lundquist who is ably supported by Dave McEwan, Peter Gadis, and two Freshmen golfers, Victor Thulin and William Bosyk, who take turns playing the fourth position. Up to the present time this team has played two matches, tieing M. I. T. in a closely fought match, 3-3, and winning from Norwich, 6-0. With this good start behind them, the team ex¬ pects to win a majority of their remaining matches.

Standing— Stauffer, Cameron, Bonin, Booth (Coach), Wackerbarth, Newton, Lambert, Lancaster. Manager— Clair E. Stauffer Coach —Walter Booth T HIS year the J. V. team had a very medi¬ ocre season, three games out of twelve starts is not a very impressive record. But if we consider the handicaps under which the team is organized and drilled, the results are not sur¬ prising. Since the J. V. team is only a proving ground for the potential candidates of the var¬ sity, they are therefore more likely to meet with defeat than is the var sity. The season was opened with Assumption, at the Alumni Gym, the J. V. team losing by the score of 18-22. The team showed much promise of being a very snappy combination before the end of the season. After the passing of this game the J. V. team was set back on its heels four times in succession, bowing to Lincoln Scpiare Boys Club, South High, Trinity, and the B. U. Freshmen. Then came the Commerce High game when the rambling J. V. team came though for the glory of W. P. I. with their first win of the season. It was a very close game, as were most of the games, but the team finally swallowed, took a hitch in their pants, and put on that extra push which carried them to victory. Had the team done this in several of their other games they would have come out nearer the top. Following this game the J. Vs. fell into another slump for three consecutive losses, losing to Trade, Clark J.V., and the Ionic Ave. Boys Club. This streak of misfortune was finally broken with the introduction of the second Clark J.V. game, when both the varsity and J.V. put them¬ selves to the task of showing the Jonas Boys that Tech has the ability to win when and if they definitely must, to uphold the honor of the school. Following this game the J.Vs. met Commerce High in a return game and came out the winners to the narrow tune of 40-39. The same fatal jinx of the forgotten J.Vs. came out again at the hands of the hard playing Springfield J.V. team, when Tech lost 29-38. This year there were several hard playing men on the team who showed definite promise of making varsity at the next session. There need be no mention of individual names as every last man on the team did his job, to the best of his ability, at all times. FRESHMAN SWIMMING T HIS year’s freshman swimming team can supply some very promising varsity mate¬ rial for next year, even though a glance at the team’s record would seem to indicate otherwise. An A. A. U. decision cancelled half of the fresh¬ man meets, thereby eliminating some very valu¬ able opportunities for experience in competition. Ingham and Kennedy should fill in empty berths in diving for the varsity, thereby eliminat¬ ing an eight-point handicap. Andrews shows much promise in back stroke but he will have to contend with two varsity men for a place in competition in the dorsal event. Hopkins will have a clear field in the breast stroke as his time for the too yards is unofficially under the fresh¬ man record. The first two meets against Worcester Academy were hard fought affairs. The frosh swimmers came through in the free style relay and Ingham and Kennedy made an excellent showing in the dives. Hopkins demonstrated good form in the breast stroke. The third and last meet of the season against Lincoln Square Boys’ Chib held in Fuller Pool was the worst defeat for the freshmen, the score being 50-16. Tech’s only first occurred in the 100 yard freestyle when Fred Chamberlain and Johnny Ingham made a clean sweep. Chamber¬ lain’s time of 1:01:2 was only two seconds under the freshman record. Hopkins maintained good form in the breaststroke, placing second in that event. First Row —Ingham, Kennedy. Second Rozu— Andrews, Hopkins, Walker, Lamoureux, Kolehs. Third Row— Nimmo, Muir, Paige, Chamberlain, Lundahl, Osipowich, Dresser, Grand (Coach). 134 RIFLE D UE to an infusion of new material, this year’s Rifle team, starting off with no noticeable bang, gained experience with every match and finished strongly by winning three out of the last five matches. This entirely eclipsed last year’s unfortunate performance of no victo¬ ries. The two stand-bys on the team were Cap¬ tain Jack Boyd and Lucian Allen who could al¬ ways be depended upon for consistently high scores. Jack Harvey, a member of last year’s team, greatly aided the marksman during the latter part of the season. The rest of the team was made up of Freshmen; Ralph Whittle, Wal¬ lace Rockwood, Fred White, and Lynd Tillyer, all of whom give promise, with added experi¬ ence, for a much better season next year. The outstanding win of the year was over the Conn. State R. O. T. C. Unit team, rated as one of the best in the East. A victory over them is “something to tell the folks about.” The record of the matches is as follows: POSTAL MATCHES November 20—Lost to Brooklyn Tech January 15—Lost to Cornell Univ.
