941 Ed it or-in-Chief _F. W. Ziegler Managing Editor __ F. B. Chamberlin Business Manager _ R. A. Muir Advertising Manager _ R. F. Wilson DEDICATION To Ivan Edwin Bigler, Head Coach in football, basketball, and baseball, we, the Class of 1941 dedicate, with respect and affection, this, the fourteenth volume of the Peddler. For twenty years, Pete Bigler has been a member of the Physical Education depart¬ ment of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, a loyal and energetic patron of the manly arts. Within the period of his administration of the major sports, Worcester Tech has become recognized as a worthy opponent for other New England colleges. Participation in sports has evolved from the intramural to the intercollegiate stage, with Tech hold¬ ing its own. More than that, Pete has been the mentor more than once of teams of champion caliber. We of the Class of 1941 remember well the basketball team of 193 8- 39, that hung up the best record in New England that year. We remember the un¬ defeated football team of 1939. In dedicating this book to Pete Bigler, we of the Class of 1941 say we are glad we have known you, glad we have been able to work and play with you.

Among the Life Members are Charles Baker, Secretary, Worcester; Albert Gifford, Treasurer, Shrewsbury; Charles L. Allen, Worcester; George I. Rockwood, Worcester; Aldus C. Higgins, Worcester; Paul B. Morgan, Worcester; Henry J. Fuller, New York, N. Y.; and Samuel M. Stone, West Hartford, Conn. The Ex-Officio Members of the board are Wat Tyler Cluverius, Chairman, Wor¬ cester; Rev. Maxwell Savage, Worcester; George N. Jeppson, Worcester; Rev. Thomas S. Roy, Worcester; Rev. Pierson P. Harris, Worcester; Hon. William A. Bennett, Mayor of Worcester. The remainder of the Board is made up of term members who hold office for from one to five years. With terms that expire in 1941 are George W. Smith, Jr., Newport, R. I.; James J. Shea, Springfield; and George P. Dixon, New York, N. Y. Those whose terms expire in 1942 are Herbert H. Ferris, Newark, N. J.; Lester A. Magraw, Spring- field, Ill.; and Archie W. Merchant, Provi¬ dence, R. I. Terms expiring in 1943 are Truman D. Hayes, Cambridge; Wallace T. Montague, Worcester; and Frank W. Jack- son, Cleveland, Ohio. To expire in 1944 are the terms of George F. Booth, Worcester; Frank C. Harrington, Worcester; and Merrill S. June, Worcester. Those with terms to expire in 1945 are F. Harold Daniels, Worcester; Howard F. Fritch, Melrose Highlands; and John A. Remon, Washington, D. C. It is to these men, leaders in industry, finance and business, that we, the students, owe much gratitude. Without the valuable time and energy that they spend in the in¬ terests of the college, Worcester Tech would soon become a memory instead of the rapidly progressing institution that it is.

Among their tasks are the interpre¬ tation of Institute rules, the care and upkeep of buildings and grounds, the filing and recording of all types of data, and the maintenance of our relations with the general public. Due to the promptness and efficiency with which they perform their tasks, we as students are scarcely aware of their existence. Much credit is due these people for their fine work in coordinating the affairs and business of Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING The largest and perhaps one of the most important departments on the hill is the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Its courses provide training and education in all branches of industrial theory and practice. This department offers exceptional opportunities for training in the funda¬ mentals of machine construction and industrial shop practice. Practice in the above is carried on in the well-equipped Washburn Shops. On the theoretical side, the department offers courses in applied mechanics, strength of materials, design of machinery, air conditioning and a great many others which are too numerous to list here. In addition to the in¬ struction offered on the campus, courses in hydraulics are given at the Alden Hydraulic Laboratory. For the senior year, those who wish may take an elective in aeromechanics. This elective includes three weeks of special shop in addition to studies in aircraft engines and airplane design. After gradu¬ ation, those interested may take courses leading to the Degree of Master of Science.

CIVIL ENGINEERING Even though the profession of Civil Engineering once included all branches that were not military, it is by no means a limited field in modern practice. Civil Engineers are busy the year through in the design, analysis, and erection of all types of structures—bridges, buildings, foundations, tunnels, harbors, docks, and dams. Other men who have graduated from this department are busy in all types of surveying, soils analysis laboratories, water supply and sewage disposal plants, and photogrammetric work. The curriculum of this department of the Institute is designed to provide a thorough grounding in the fundamental principles underlying all civil engineering practice, and at the same time to give the student a reasonable amount of the cultural and business training which should be a part of the mental equipment of a professional man. In the senior year, a limited opportunity is offered for varying this training in accordance with a student’s individual interests.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND CHEMISTRY The fields of the chemist and the chemical engineer are closely related, but the development of modern industry has created a need for men of somewhat different aptitudes and training for work in each field. While the work of the chemist is chiefly in the laboratory studying reactions, the chemical engineer deals principally with the design, con¬ struction and operation of equipment, and the application of manufacturing processes in which chemical changes of materials are involved. To meet the training requirements for men in both branches of the profession, the Institute offers two distinct courses, Chemical Engineering and Chem¬ istry. The college also offers an additional year of graduate work in either Chemical Engineering or Chemistry, which leads to a degree of master of science.

Due to the fact that electric power has become so essential to all phases of industrial and economic life, the services of men with the broad training of the electrical engineer are now required in almost every industry. The field of electrical engineering is one of the most rapidly expanding of all the different types. Advances in communications, increased utilization of electric power in the home, the development of automatic controls, and the expanded use of hydro-electric power have all created a need for well trained and educated young engineers. To help satisfy this demand, the course in Elec¬ trical Engineering offers to the student a program charac¬ terized by its breadth of scope and emphasis upon funda¬ mental principles. The curriculum is so planned that there is a gradual merging of subjects into one another, from the initial cultural and scientific courses of a general nature to the professional work of the senior year. In addition to the undergraduate work, this department offers an excellent opportunity for all types of advanced work.

PHYSICS Historically, the science of Physics, with its sister sciences of Chemistry and Mathematics, has provided the major basis of engineering technology, as well as of pure science. The scientific method of careful, unprejudiced observations and experiment, with subsequent formulation of exact principles and precise quantitive deductions, quite as much as the vast store of knowledge gained, has been the cultural contribution of these sciences to our civilization. The course in Physics offers the opportunity of four years of study in basic physical science and important parts of mathematics and chemistry. At the present time, due to limited enrollment, the princi¬ pal work of the department is in the training of the men in other divisions. This is very fundamental and is given only during the first two years. However, the courses offered in the Junior and Senior years are broad in their scope and offer the student a good training.

ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS The department of Economics, Government and Business is one of the smaller departments which offer courses to supple¬ ment the work of the larger departments. In modern indus¬ try, a man cannot advance to the top positions unless he has a well balanced knowledge of economics and government. Engineers, especially, must have an understanding of the fundamentals of these two topics in addition to an education in the principles of modern business. To fill this requirement, the department offers three courses in economics, one in government and one in business. Off ered in the Junior year, the economics courses give the student an insight of the fundamental economic principles with particular reference to their relations to engineering, and also a study of the applica¬ tion of these principles to current industrial and govern¬ mental problems. The course in government allows the student to gain an understanding of the development and practical workings of the institutions of national, state and municipal authorities. The study in business includes investigation of actual problems found in modern industry.

ENGLISH It has frequently been said that the engineer is perfectly at ease with his slide rule and tables, but that in the presence of others, he is definitely out of place. In modern business circles, the ideas of the engineer are given much weight in executives’ discussions. If the engineer can express his thoughts plainly and without embarrassment, he will carry much more weight in influencing the minds of his superiors. The department of English offers four different subjects of study in public speaking and technical writing. These are designed to train the student in the preparation of written abstracts and theses. In addition, some preparation is given to a study of general rhetoric and a consideration of some of the more important types of modern literature. In conjunc¬ tion with the English department, the other major courses on the hill include a subject dealing with written and oral abstracts. The oral abstracts are given before large groups of students in order to accustom the individual to speaking before large assemblies.

MODERN LANGUAGES AND HISTORY Of the three languages, German, French, and Spanish, offered by this unit of the school, German has the longest course. A student of German may start with the simplest elements of the language and go through intermediate and advanced German to reading in German about German cul¬ ture and civilization, all within four years. The next longest language course is French, lasting three years. This course includes instruction in the rudiments of the language, inter¬ mediate French, and reading French literature. The Spanish, a two year course, starts with elementary Spanish and finishes with modern Spanish and South American texts. The History course is concerned with political, economical, and cultural developments of people down through the centuries, the first two years of the four year course taking up world history and the last two years taking the study of United States history. .).

MATHEMATICS Trigonometry, analytic geometry, calculus, differential and integral calculus, and differential equations are the courses in mathematics here on the Hill. All engineers need a good background of mathematics, as all engineering and science has it as its foundation. These courses are given during the first two years of work here at the Institute, in order to allow one to carry on his work in his chosen field. Due to the wide variety of courses offered here on the Hill, the mathematics department has to offer the widest possible course. All the different engineering departments have their own particular kind of mathematics which the other departments rarely use. In industry everyone is calling for facts and figures, this means that in most cases a project has to be proven mathematically possible before any construction is beeun. The Juniors and Seniors and students working for their Master’s degree are offered some courses in advanced calculus and statistics. These help prove theoretically that something is possible although at the present time equipment is not available to do the work.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Physical Education course for the Freshmen consists of two parts: one is a series of lectures on First Aid and Personal Hygiene and the second is the active sports, both indoor and out. In the spring, as soon as the weather permits, gym classes are held outdoors, when the fellows play soft- ball. In the fall soccer and touch football are the games played during gym. A student may receive gym credits by playing golf or tennis. During the winter when we are indoors, we have basketball, bowling, squash, and swim¬ ming. One of the Institute rules is that every man must be able to swim before he can receive his diploma. Once a week during the freshman year a lecture is given on some phase of First Aid or Personal Hygiene. Often some city physician gives a lecture on some topic of special importance. The Sophomores are required to continue their gymnasium work. A physical examination is given at the beginning of the year in order to see that everyone is physically able to participate in the sports. Physical education helps us to develop our bodies along with our other work here on the Hill.

HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1941 Way back in the fall of 1937, on Monday, afternoon, the 27th of September to be ex¬ act, we assembled for the first time as the Class of 1941, in the lecture room of the Electrical Engineering Building. President Earle welcomed us at that time with the happy prospect of being educated gentlemen at the end of four or more years at Tech. How well we have attained this goal has yet to be written, but the welcome accorded us and the timely advice offered by our faculty advisers certainly started us on the right path. That same evening the disconsolate and superbly inferior Class of 1941, as the Soph¬ omores would have us believe, were ac¬ quainted with the traditions, songs, cheers and Freshman Rules by the invincible and dauntless Class of 1940. And at the end of Freshman Week, at the S.C.A. Reception, we had the opportunity of meeting the really big” men on the campus on con¬ genial terms with cider and doughnuts. To be sure, we wore the black bow ties of the tie-it-yourself variety, the garters and the caps for a while, ’less we incur the wrath of the Sophomores. But as to just how invincible and dauntless our masters were was proven when we organized under Earl Webster to win the Rope Pull and Paddle Rush. Two weeks later we drubbed the Sophomores again in the track meet. Naboiecheck, Fraser, Pacek, Sullivan, Fer¬ guson, Bates, Harding, Parks, and Totti starred. In spite of the fact that we had Atkinson, Bellos, Kingsley and Scott on the varsity 44 D. E. Smith, Secretary H. D. Kingsley, Treasurer W. P. Simmons, Historian football team, and Bosyk, Hoebel, Smith and Whitaker on the soccer squad we lost both football and soccer to the Sophs on fields of mud. As usual rushing came around that Fall and for two weeks the Class of ’41 was king. Whether it was pretty speeches or lead pipes, 118 of us were convinced to pledge the fraternities on the campus with all the rights and privileges thereof, such as, waxing floors, polishing silver, etc. For class officers we elected Hoebel, presi¬ dent; Curran, vice-president; Watson, sec¬ retary; Paige, treasurer; and Atkinson, historian. About this time of year, the inevitable mid-year exams arrived and after our first skirmish with the faculty in its most un¬ compromising mood, we found that our lines were still holding. In Winter sports, Bellos and Wells took their places with the Iron Men” on the basketball court. Interclass activities were resumed. Carnival time came around and the class needed only two more points to win the Goat’s Head. A heavy melodrama en¬ titled The Fate of Nellie Pimplesnoot or For Love of Sigma Nu” was presented, star¬ ring Hoebel, Dudley, Pacek, Simmons and McIntyre. The judges were inclined to favor the Sophomore skit Lover Come Back to Me.” We were getting desperate, the Sophs were regaining prestige, winning basketball and swimming. But our time came in the rifle and bowling matches. The two points were ours and we annexed the Class of 1893 Goat’s Head Trophy. We may well be proud of this achievement, since it was the second time a freshman class has ever won it. And then came finals again, as they have a habit of doing. Even Doc Carpenter examined us in his gym course; Wiley was 45 judged the strongest man in the class. And that was our first year at Tech. The brief summer months passed quickly and September was upon us again. Those of us who were here for Fall Shop remember the big wind” that just about blew the college off the Hill. After cleaning up the campus, we proceeded to clean up the tra¬ ditionally unruly Freshmen. As a matter of course we won the Paddle Rush, track meet, football, soccer and the Rope Pull, placing us in the select group of dry” classes. Incidentally, Stinson was tied to our end of the rope. About this time, the football and soccer teams were winding up undefeated seasons. The night before the final game with R.P.I., the sanitation laboratory caught fire on the campus. Cheers, songs and speeches followed. A snake dance down town thor¬ oughly tied up traffic. The annual Tech Carnival held in the fall this year was our occasion to star in dramatics for we won the Carnival Cup with a light comedy Tech in 1948.” With this triumph over the Frosh, we cinched the Goat’s Head for the second year with ten straight points. Following the usual custom we elected officers fqr the year: Curran, president; Kingsley, vice-president; Atkinson, treas¬ urer; Bates, secretary; and Benson, historian. We will always remember Glenn Miller at the Interfraternity Ball before Christmas vacation. He was one of the first twenty bands in the country, so we were told. Returning to college for the second term after mid-years we were thrilled by Presi¬ dent Earle’s announcement of a million dol¬ lar expansion program for a Greater Tech. And shortly after, we were shocked when he collapsed during a chapel service. We lost a great friend and leader. Our first venture into the social whirl was the Soph Hop. Arnold Swanson headed the committee which made this dance so successful. Ken Reeves was the maestro for the occasion. Final exams again turned up and we realized we were half way through Tech, although some of us were all through. Summer shop again helped to pass the summer and September of our Junior year was upon us. Momentous events in the his¬ tory of the college were happening all about. Admiral Cluverius was inaugurated seventh president of Tech. The Alden Memorial was started. Smith was elected president; Kingsley, vice-president; Bates, secretary; Curran, treasurer; and Benson, historian. Men of ’41 were prominent in the suc¬ cessful football and soccer seasons. Winter arrived and with it the perspiration of mid¬ year exams, the vacation and consolation of make-ups. Every spring, the Junior Class sponsors the biggest social event of the year, and 1940 was no exception. The Junior Prom, Willie Farmer’s music, The Masque’s presentation of The Torchbearers” and the Round Robin will ever be remembered. Campus leaders for the Senior year were chosen. Scott was elected captain of foot¬ ball; Bosyk, captain of soccer; Bellos and Wells, co-captains of basketball; Kennedy, 46 captain of swimming; Wilson, captain of track; and Kingsley, captain of baseball. Presidents elected were: Smith of the Tech Council, Brautigam of the S.C.A., Atkinson of the Athletic Association, Bene¬ dict of The Masque, Jaremko of the A.I. E.E., Knauff of the A.S.M.E., and Parks of the A.S.C.E. Majka was chosen editor of Tech News and Ziegler, editor of the Peddler. Skull tapped Atkinson, Bellos, Bosyk, Dresser, Kingsley, Knauff, Parks, Paulsen, Dean Roys, Scott, and Smith. Tau Beta Pi initiated Parks, Smith, Hopkins, Jaremko and Wilson. During the summer, the electrics took their annual junket, the civils went back- to-nature at Chaffins and we were back in September for our last year at Tech as Seniors. The past year has been a bright one as far as employment prospects were con¬ cerned. Personnel men visited the campus unusually early. We have had interviews and filed application blanks, including one for the army. Atkinson was elected president; Scott, vice-president; Kingsley, secretary; Smith, treasurer; and Simmons, historian. Tau Beta Pi initiated Atkinson, Bell, Bley, Bret- ton, Chokakowski, Gurney, Majka, Muir, Paulsen, Sherw in, and Ziegler. The remainder of the year was divided between theses and commencement prepara¬ tions. President Atkinson and General Commencement Chairman Smith with their committees have worked hard to make the banquet, baccalaureate, prom, class day, and commencement never-to-be-forgotten sou¬ venirs of our college days. And now we bring the prologue to the history of the Class of 1941 to a close. The rest has yet to be written as God guides each of us on diverging paths. IN MEMORIAM Members of the class of 1941 were dis¬ mayed on returning to Tech in September of 193 8, to hear of the sudden death of Bruce Watson. Genuine sorrow accompa¬ nied the reception of this news, for Bruce was perhaps the best-known and best-liked member of the Freshman class. In his par¬ ticipation in football and interclass activi¬ ties, and as chairman of the Dorm Commit¬ tee, he displayed those qualities which marked him as a real leader to his classmates. Happy, debonair, handsome and sparkling with personality, his very aliveness made comprehension of his passing difficult. As briefly as he was one of us, we must feel that we are a bit richer for having known him. It is only fitting that we dedicate this small part of our yearbook to the com¬ memoration of this fine character. Bruce W.

MATERNITIES D. Atkinson A. Bellos W. Bosyk K. Dresser H. Kings SKULL Skull, one of the most outstanding senior societies on the hill, has a two-fold purpose. Primarily to make a concerted effort to further the Tech spirit and secondly to stimulate interest in campus activities. This organization was founded in 1911 and con¬ sists of both student and faculty members. Skull commands respect from all the stu¬ dents on the hill because its membership consists of men whose personalities and abilities are outstanding. This organization has considerable control over student opinion as well as a cooperative interest with the executive body in governing class rivalry. One of Skull ' s most important events of the year is the annual spring pledging. This ceremony is open to students and faculty members alike and is always well attended. The silence of the large audience is ample proof of the impressiveness of the pledging ceremony. Each member of the society, clad in a black robe, passes among the student body to select his pledgee for future membership. After considerable de¬ liberate hesitation he finally finds his man and strikes him firmly on the shoulder. The new pledgee then follows his predecessor to the front of the room where he is pre¬ sented with a pledge pin by the president of the society. G. Killing R. Parks W. Paulsen E. Scott D. Smith Skull chooses its men, the number of which is limited to eleven, from the Junior class and the choice is based on the qualifi¬ cations of outstanding personality and ability. This year’s society had the honor of pledging our own Prexy, Admiral Wat Tyler Cluverius. His extreme interest in all the activities on the hill, both scholastic and athletic, has brought wide acclaim to himself and to the college. Every year Skull offers a prize to the Freshman who has shown himself to be an outstanding man in his class and who has done the most for the college. This man’s name is engraved on the trophy cup along with those men of previous years but it is in no way a guarantee of any future mem¬ bership in the society. The member of the class of 1944 to whom this honor is given will be the sixteenth name on the previously mentioned cup. Edward Lipovsky of the class of 1943 was last year’s prize winner. The choice of new members to the society is kept secret until the time that the pledgees are tapped at the spring ceremony. This custom promotes a terrific element of sus¬ pense and it is the desire of every Freshman at Tech that he will one day be chosen a member of Skull. 91 A. Cbodakou ski, S. Hopkins, G. Gurney, F.

The pur¬ pose of this society, which has over twenty thousand members, is to promote re¬ search in scientific fields. Fre¬ quent meetings of the organi¬ zation are held in which subjects of scientific interest are discussed. Members of the faculty are eligible for full membership while Seniors are eligible for associate membership. At the fall pledging Mr. Frank Finlayson of the Mechanical Engineering Department and Dr. Karl Stiefel of the Elec¬ trical Engineering Depart¬ ment were chosen for full membership. The following seniors were chosen as asso¬ ciate members: SIGMA XI 92 W. Paulsen, J. Bell, R. Muir, G. Gurney, R. Bley. F. Sherwin, W. Ziegler, W. Ames, R. Wynkoop, S. Majka, D. Atkinson. A.

In order to be eligible for member¬ ship, Seniors must be in the upper quarter of their class while Juniors must be in the upper eighth of the class. Each year it is the custom of the society to present a slide rule to the Sophomore who displays outstanding scholarship and character during his Freshman Year. This year, Edward Peterson was the recipient of this award. THE INTERFRATERNITY COUNCIL Prof. Paul R. Swan, Chairman Prof. Harold J. Gay, Secretary ALPHA TAU OMEGA Norman A. Wilson, Delegate James L.

The Council is com¬ posed of two representatives from the fac¬ ulty and one from each fraternity. The object of the Council as written in the constitution is the promotion of a closer relationship between the chapters of the fraternities represented on the Council, the faculty, and the student body. Meet¬ ings are held once each month with the fraternities each taking their turn as dinner host. The Interfraternity Council exercises full supervision of fraternity rushing. Several years ago the old method with its attend¬ ant evils was discarded in favor of a new plan wherein the activities of the fraterni¬ ties were regulated by a comprehensive set of rules which allows each fraternity an equal chance during rushing and gives the freshman an opportunity to consider his choice of a house very carefully. A book¬ let of rules, and the amendments added during the year is published every year and issued to each member of the student body. During the past year the rides were amend¬ ed to permit rushing in the dormitory only at specified times. As a part of their duties, the Council meets every day during the rushing period to act on the many details that arise. The Interfraternity Council also sponsors interfraternity sports and donates awards to the winners. The competition in the vari- 94 ' fSf B. Benson, A. Ashmead, J. Ferguson, N. Wilson. P. Gaidis, C. Hoebel, H. Gay (faculty), P. Swan (faculty), D. Smith, B. Phelps. ous contests is spirited indeed. During the past year the tennis cup was taken by A.T.O., while P.S.K. won both track and relay. T.K.P. was victorious in the basket¬ ball tourney, and S.P.E. annexed the bowl¬ ing trophy. Top honors in swimming went to P.G.D. The Interfraternity Ball of 1940 was an affair of great moment in the social history of Tech, for it was the first dance to be held in the new Alden Memorial. The hall itself is a beautiful piece of architecture and the lighting effects made possible by the fine equipment of the projection room were something to be marveled at. All through the dance the orchestra and the stage were illuminated by an ever-changing pattern of colors which melted and blended into each other producing a very beautiful effect. The hall was decorated with large facsimiles of the various fraternity pins and with large Christmas trees. Claude Thorn¬ hill and his band supplied the music of both sweet and swing style. The crowd of two hundred and fifty couples was perhaps the largest ever to attend an Interfraternity Ball and it is a dance that will long be remem¬ bered by Tech men. 95 PHI GAMMA DELTA FACULTY Dr. L.

Phi Gamma Delta was founded at old Jefferson College, which is now Washington and Jefferson College, at Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, in May 1848. It is the thir¬ teenth oldest Greek-letter fraternity in America. The local chapter, Pi Iota, of Phi Gamma Delta was founded largely through the ef¬ forts of Archibald MacCullogh, a member of the Beta chapter at the University of Pennsylvania. MacCullogh influenced two friends to start a chapter at Tech, and on December 11, 1891, Pi Iota held its first meeting. Since then Phi Gam has always made a fine showing in campus sports and activi¬ ties. This year they won the Interfraternity swimming meet. Several members were very prominent in Varsity football along with several men on the baseball squad. In pick¬ ing their new men Phi Gamma Delta has always stressed the qualities of gentleman¬ liness, scholarship and leadership. Their men are a well rounded group and are prominent on the campus both scholastic- ally and athletically. OTA 97 SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON FACULTY Prof. C. M. Allen Prof. Percy M.

Na¬ tional growth became quite rapid and by the time of the Civil War fourteen chapters had been granted charters. The war sus¬ pended fraternity activities and created such a sentiment in the North that it was not until 1 8 83 that a chapter was estab¬ lished above the Mason-Dixon Line. Nine years later the first chapter of S.A.E. established in New England made its appearance at Boston University. Other chapters quickly followed at MIT and Harvard. The Tech Cooperative Society petitioned the fraternity and was inducted as an active chapter on March 10, 1894, at Auburndale, Mass. During the past year the members have participated actively in interfraternity sports and campus activities. The social season was a success with its formal and informal dances as well as house parties. 99 THETA CHI FACULTY Dr. S. J. Plimpton Prof. V. Siegfried Prof C. Meyer Mr. E. W. Armstrong Mr. C. A.

The requirement which restrict¬ ed membership to varsity letter men was soon changed to include any men who were interested in fostering clean athletics at W.P.I.” By 1909 the society had become a strong, permanent organization and began to con¬ sider affiliation with a national fraternity. On March 11, 1909, word was received that a petition had been approved by Theta Chi fraternity, which had been founded at Norwich University on April 10, 18 56, and Pi Omega Pi became Epsilon chapter. As the chapter grew, the house on Lancas¬ ter Street was felt to be inadequate so the new duplex house on the corner of Salisbury Street and Dean Street was taken over and remodelled. Since that day, Epsilon has grown stronger with every passing year, and today asserts itself as one of the leading fraternities on the Hill. 101 ALPHA TAU OMEGA FACULTY Prof. IT. P.

Two years later, they formally established it as Gamma Sigma chapter, on receipt of a charter from the national fraternity of Alpha Tau Omega. In 1910 the present home was obtained. The past year has seen members of Alpha Tau Omega representing Gamma Sigma chapter in nearly every activity on the Hill. Among these are members of the honorary engineering societies and Skull, members of student organizations, and many varsity athletes. The addition of a new game room with fluorescent lighting has been an important addition to the house. The chapter has also had an active social schedule during the past year. This included the annual Christmas Day and Parent’s Day Banquets, a formal Initiation Dance, and very enjoy¬ able House Parties for the Interfraternity Ball and the Junior Prom week-end. 103 PHI SIGMA KAPPA FACULTY Prof. D.

The Epsilon Deuteron chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity was founded in 1902 as the local fraternity Theta Chi. With the appearance in 1909 of a chapter of the national Theta Chi Fraternity, the name of the fraternity was changed to Kappa Xi Alpha. The local chapter was granted a charter as Epsilon Deuteron chapter of the national Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity. The past year has found Phi Sig striving with considerable success to better their fine standing as holder of the General Excellence Award, and second place in athletics and third in scholarship. Vic” dances in the game room have kept Phi Sig active socially during the lull be¬ tween school games. These dances were supplemented by orchestras for the Round Robin, the Pledge Dance, and the Home- coming Day Dance. Very successful Flouse Parties were held for the Interfraternity Ball and the Junior Prom week-end. Honor students, varsity athletes, and members of student engineering societies, as well as members of Skull, Tau Beta Pi, and Sigma Xi have successfully represented Phi Sig in activities on the Hill. 105 SIGMA PHI EPSILON FACULTY Dean J.

This fraternity merged with Sigma Phi Epsilon in 193 8 to become a chapter in one of the largest national fraternities in the world. Local progress has been as interesting to watch as the fraternity’s na¬ tional expansion. Sig Ep men are actively engaged in all activities on the hill. About ten members were on this year’s football squad and two members were on the starting basketball team. The house boasts a varsity captain in basketball and in football. Sigma Phi Epsilon also won the Interfraternity bowl¬ ing championship. This year Sig Ep pledged the largest group of freshmen on the Hill, among which are many promising athletes and scholars. Sig Ep is one of the most socially active houses on the Hill. Several banquets have been held to which members of the faculty were invited. 107 LAMBDA CHI ALPHA FACULTY Prof. W. W. Locke Prof. IT. A.

Pi Zeta of Lambda Chi Alpha had its start as a local fraternity, Zeta Gamma Tau, on December 5, 1912. A petition was sent to Lambda Chi Alpha, and on June 5, 1913, a charter was granted to the local frater¬ nity as Pi Zeta chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha. The chapter was located on Fruit Street until 1916, when the present house on Trowbridge road was purchased. Lambda Chi has continued their activity on the Hill with a well-rounded program. Successful House Parties were held for the Interfraternity Ball and Junior Prom Week¬ end and the annual Initiation and Mother’s Day Banquets went off smoothly. Many of the members returned early after the Christmas recess to enjoy a novel New Year’s Eve Party. Professor Maxfield withdrew from the Institute in order to act as instructor in the Field Artillery and to carry on ballistics work for the United States Army. Dr. Morley was asked to fill his place as faculty adviser of the chapter. 109 ALPHA EPSILON PI SENIORS I. Breger G. A. Cohen S. Soloway JUNIORS R. M. Bendett B. Franklin H. Goodman L. Goldrosen S.

Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity was founded on November 7, 1913, at New York Uni¬ versity. In the course of a few years char¬ ters were granted to chapters at Cornell and Penn State. The advent of the World War greatly curtailed the activities of the frater¬ nity, but in the following decade national growth proceeded very rapidly, chapters being founded in many states of the Union. In November, 1940, a merger was effect¬ ed with Sigma Omega Psi, the fraternity which had represented the men of Jewish faith on the Tech campus since 1919. Two years ago the chapter purchased a perma¬ nent home at 2 5 Dayton Street. This step lent greater solidarity to the fraternity. During the past year A. E. P. has been very active, the members taking part in interfraternity sports and maintaining a high scholastic record. In March the chap¬ ter played host for a Northeastern basket¬ ball tournament. Teams were sent from as far as Pennsylvania to represent their chapters. A E IT in THETA KAPPA PHI FACULTY Prof. S. H. Fillion SENIORS R. L. DeLisle R. C. Jasper P. N. Gaidis, Jr. W. B.

In five years the group had grown and prospered to such an extent that they applied for and were granted a charter as Lambda Chapter of Theta Kappa Phi, a national Catholic fraternity. The induction into this largest of Catholic fraternities oc¬ curred in November, 193 5. The local chapter outgrew its original home on Hackfield Road in 1937, and its present chapter house was purchased. This house, one of the largest on the Hill, is at 26 Institute Road. Extensive remodel¬ ing has been carried out this year. This year Theta Kap has added to their fine record by winning the Interfraternity basketball cup and by finishing in second place in intramural bowling. A fine repre¬ sentation on varsity teams and in student societies has supplemented Theta Kappa Phi’s activities on the Hill. Along with their scholastic and athletic activities Theta Kappa Phi is also socially inclined, the big event of the year being the Junior Prom week-end. 113 3TIVITIES R. Herzog, E. Jacober, G.

It is one of the most important organizations on the Hill, and has as its purpose the pro¬ motion of a spirit of unity and good will among the classes, and between the stu¬ dents and the faculty. The Council serves as a guiding body with regard to many of the student policies, and sponsors many noteworthy college events. The annual Sports Banquet at which letters are awarded, captains elected, and numerous speeches given, is perhaps the most established event. This year, for the first time, the Council sponsored a Sports Dance to raise funds for extra athletic equipment. The Fuller Lectures are also under the direction of the Council, and the Class Jacket Committee is composed of Council members. The enforcement of the extra¬ curricular activities Eligibdity Code is un¬ der the jurisdiction of the Council. 116 R. Fleming, W. Simmons, P. Hastings, F. Holbrook. S. Williams, R. Holby, P. Swan (faculty), R. Brautigam, S. Majka, G. Douglass. The Student Christian Association is the largest and the oldest undergraduate organi¬ zation at Tech. Each year almost every student signs the S.C.A. statement of pur¬ pose, making him a member of this most worthwhile society. Their first activity this year was to enter¬ tain the class of ’44 during Freshman Week at the close of which was held the annual reception. The organization also benefits the Freshmen by providing magazines, ping- pong tables, pool tables and other enter¬ tainment facilities at the Dormitory. They also issue to each student a Tech Handbook and a blotter. This year the presentation of the Tech Carnival was resumed with the Freshmen and Sophomore classes offering very fine plays, but as to be expected the faculty act stole the show. By winning the Freshman- Sophomore competition, the class of ’44 added their numerals to the Carnival Cup. The voluntary chapel services that are held during the fall and winter are also S.C.A. the work of the Association. This past year many very interesting speakers were heard at these services. 117 PEDDLER EDITORIAL STAFF . Pearce, C. Handforth, J. Chandler, D. Roun, R. Dyer. H. Durick, S. Williams, R. Fleming, R.

PEDDLER Another year has rolled by and a truly progressive one it has been. The new Alden Memorial has had its official initiation into the Royal Order of Worcester Technicians. This year also brought a new member to our little group, namely the new Mechani¬ cal Engineering Building and Laboratory. In stride with the Institute’s expanding projects, the Peddler has also had a pro¬ gressive year. As it should the senior class again holds the spotlight in the year’s issue. Personal sketches of the graduating class, throughout the book bid a friendly fare¬ well to those for whom the Peddler is written. However, in no way have we slighted the undergraduates or their soci¬ eties. Informal pictures are ample proof that the underclassmen are very much alive and overflowing with the true Tech spirit. This year’s Peddler staff was confronted with the task of adopting a legal constitu¬ tion of the organization. After much dis¬ cussion a constitution dictating the policies and requirements of the Peddler was legal¬ ly drawn up. One of the most important is- 118 PEDDLER BUSINESS STAFF B. Messer, T. Pierson, W. Raymond, H. Hutnik. E. Lagerholm E. Campbell, G. Raymond, R. Muir, R. Wilson, E. Sceggel, R. Hankel. sues of this document is the question of staff membership. We of the staff believe that you, our readers, should also be informed concerning this matter. All freshmen are eligible to compete for freshman staff posi¬ tions and these freshmen shall the following year be promoted to sophomore members. If the sophomore members have shown ability and willingness in their work, they will be promoted to junior editors. However, the number of junior members is limited to ten and they are elected with votes by the senior and junior editors. Staff membership in all cases is based upon the proven ability of the work done. The pictorial staff of the 1941 Peddler was very fortunate in that the new Alden Memorial was made available for the tak¬ ing of group pictures. The wonderful lighting effects which are possible in the building improved these pictures one hun¬ dred per cent. Staff members also went around to the various fraternity houses on the campus and took individual informal YEAR BOOK snapshots of some of the outstanding seniors on the hill. 119 TECH NEWS EDITORIAL STAFF .

TECH NEWS It is essential that every college have some means of conveying up-to-the-minute news of collegiate events to students, fac¬ ulty, and alumni. For thirty years the Tech News has capably carried out this vital function on our campus. Previous to its inception, the News was an integral part of the Journal, the official college alumni magazine, which is prominent at Tech even to this day. During these last three decades a great deal of improvement and progress has been accomplished. The members of the Tech Ncu s staff have endeavored during the past year, as have their predecessors during the years preceding, to maintain the News in its rightful position as one of the foremost leaders of student activity on the Hill. Pre¬ senting the leading events of the college week has been the principal capacity of the News. Athletic contests, society and club activities, and social and class functions are constantly covered for student interest value. The weekly editorials provide an outlet for student criticism and comment. Herein, 120 TECH NEWS BUSINESS STAFF J. Ford, E. Jacober, B. Phelps, W. Ames. is presented forward, unbiased criticism for singularly constructive purpose, and terse comment from the student engineering point of view. The staff has sought to retain a more uni¬ fied body of reporters and staff members in the belief that interesting and accurate material benefits the student body as a whole. Thus the men of this association have striven to attain a standard which would be commendable of such a college of engineering as W.P.I. The Tech News is an accredited leader of student opinion and comment on the Hill and the staff has devoted a great deal of time and effort toward making the paper as effective and as valuable to the college as possible. The news staff has labored assiduously to interestingly depict the innumerable events that have occurred in the past year. Few organizations function more quietly and unnoticed than the Tech News —and few are of such vital importance. The News is constantly witnessing and recording the WEEKLY many improvements and changes which are being marked in the annals of the history of W.P.I. 121 F. Robinson, C. Holden, A. Keith, B.

MASQUE The Masque, which this year completed thirty years as one of the oustanding or¬ ganizations on the college campus, has again turned in another outstanding performance, and we salute them. The production this year was Frank Wead’s Ceiling Zero,” a very ambitious undertaking for a college group and was executed in a manner worthy of a professional cast which had the sup¬ port of the entire student body and faculty. The play was given in the new Alden Memorial, and it truly demonstrated the marvelous facilities of Tech’s new building. Sound effects which were essential for this production were more than adequately met in Alden. The Masque was even more popular this year than in years past, as can easily be seen by the large number of freshmen that turned out for the tryouts. Six freshmen were chosen for roles in the play. The Masque has always been very popular with Tech men, as it gives them a chance to demonstrate that they have talents, other than the ability to manipulate a slide rule. Ceiling Zero,” a play in three acts, all takes place in the Operations Office of the 122 Federal Airlines at Hadley Field, New Brunswick, New Jersey. It’s a creation of fiction, both strange and breath-taking with a touch of romanticism, all blending to¬ gether in a very interesting and delightful style. The play contrasts the flyers of the olden days and the flyers of today who prove to be more dependable, but less romantic. Dizzy Davis and Texas Clark were the representatives of the old school. These roles were played by Jim Donahue and Jack Mar¬ tin, who both turned in excellent perform¬ ances. The leading role, that of Jake Lee, a former flyer now holding an executive position in the firm was played by Warren Zepp, who is a veteran of Masque plays. Warren indeed deserves much commenda¬ tion for his excellent work in this and other school plays. The Masque was also blessed with the cooperation of some women, who filled very well the female roles of the play. Gertrude Halpern who took the part of Lou Clark performed excellently. She has been con- PRODUCTION nected with the Clark University Players and the Clare Tree Major Co. Other women in the play were Jane Foster, Olive Brown, and Carolyn Lewis. 123 BOYNTONIANS Another successful year has drawn to a close for Worcester Tech’s popular dance orchestra, the Boyntonians. Under the able direction of Bancroft Anderson and Nor¬ man Osgood the eleven piece aggregation has earned an enviable reputation through¬ out Massachusetts as one of the better New England college dance orchestras. A spe¬ cialty with the band were the vocal chorus arrangements by Norm Osgood, which featured the members of the band and were a welcome treat at all times. The Boyntonians contributed to the social life at Tech by again sponsoring the Dorm Dances, and presented Miss Shirley Laval- lee, vocalist, as an added attraction. They reigned supreme after the Worcester Tech basketball games and provided dance mu¬ sic of the finest quality. The Music Asso¬ ciation Spring Concert was also topped off with dancing to the music of the Boyn¬ tonians. The great success of the Sports Dance sponsored by the Tech Council was due in part to the united efforts of the members of the Boyntonians, who furnished the music. Through their various engagements at prep schools and high schools throughout the state, the Boyntonians served unofficially as one of Tech’s best advertisements. 124 All athletic contests at Tech are en¬ hanced by contributions of the band. No athletic contest would be quite complete without the help of this organization which, under the fine direction of William F. Lynch, adds color to school functions of all kinds. The band is composed of about forty members and is one of the most active or¬ ganizations on the Hill. It has become famous for its ability to cease playing on the merest whim of the officials while add¬ ing life to time out periods at the basket¬ ball games. At this year’s Spring Concert given by the combined musical clubs of the college the band played The Song of Marching Men,” The Student Prince,” Melody a la King,” and Rose of Algeria” to the great enjoyment of the audience. While the band loses many of its members through graduation each year, and the di¬ rector is faced with the problem of filling their places; the incoming Freshman class always seems to come to his aid nobly and fill the vacancies. BAND The effort and time spent by the mem¬ bers of the band in preparing for the in¬ numerable parts it plays in life on the Hill is greatly appreciated by the members of both student body and faculty. 125 R.

GLEE CLUB Tech’s most popular outlet for the ener¬ gies of those who are musically and socially inclined, the Glee Club, has yet to see a dull year. Under the able directorship of Clifford F. Green, successful concerts have always come almost as a matter of course, and this year proved to be no exception. An early and auspicious start was made in December with a joint concert in the Alden Memorial with Wellesley, Pembroke, and M.I.T. The visitors were welcomed by a full house of appreciative listeners, and the quality of the performance more than justified the size of the audience. The next concert, held at Pembroke, saw an outstanding performance on the part of both clubs. The singing was followed by the most enjoyed Glee Club dance of the year. Another highlight of the season was the concert with Framingham State Teach¬ ers’ College, which featured the long- awaited appearance of the octet. It turned out, however, to be an octet with two spares,” whose comedy rendition nearly brought the house down. 126 H. Med win, W. Woods, R. Grant, J. Robinson, S. Soloway, J. Lebourveau, P. Y ankauskas. THE STRING ENSEMBLE The most recent addition to the Worces¬ ter Tech Musical Association is the string ensemble. The ensemble was organized last year by a small group of Tech students interested in music for the stringed instru¬ ments. Although the group was not well known last year, its work was appreciated by many. They appeared in public for the first time at the Tech Spring Concert, and also assisted at the graduation exercises. This year the group consisted of four violins, two cellos, and a viola, and was very fortunate to have the able assistance of Mrs. Stanley Fillion as director. Later in the season, Dr. Heller, a newcomer to the Tech faculty, assisted Mrs. Fillion in the dire ction of the ensemble. At the annual Spring Concert and Dance sponsored by the Tech Musical Association, the string ensemble contributed to the pro¬ gram by presenting two selections. The group has not only been active at Tech, but has also assisted in musical pro¬ grams sponsored by musical groups through¬ out the city. The ensemble rendered a number of selections at a Sunday Musicale presented at the First Presbyterian Church. They also provided incidental dinner music at a testimonial dinner at the Fiotel Ban¬ croft. 127 N. Blodgett, S. Campbell, D. Brown. R. Bierweiler, E. Harris, J. Robinson, D. Rundlett, R. Stinson. R. Shailer, R. Schultheiss, J. Chandler, D. Chase, R. Kimball, C. Powell. in a most active winter sports program this year. Under the leadership of Dave Chase, president; Arvo Saarnijoki, vice-presi¬ dent; Bob Sullivan, secretary and treasurer, the club joined the U. S. Eastern Amateur Ski Association and the Intercollegiate Out¬ ing Clubs Association. Nearly every col¬ lege in the East belongs to this association. As soon as a blanket of snow covered our campus, a student ski team was organized which represented the club and W.P.I. in six tournaments. The schedule included meets with the Worcester Ski Club, Mass. State College, the Lancaster Ski Club, and Brown College. During the Christmas vaca¬ tion about ten members of the club enjoyed a few days skiing at Mt. Washington and Cannon Mt. During the spring recess, an¬ other group went up and climaxed a suc¬ cessful season with a few days of thrilling skiing over splendid mountain trails. The club enters into other activities such as hikes and dances which are organized by various member clubs in the I.O.C.A. OUTING CLUB The Worcester Tech Outing Club is one of the newest and most popular clubs on Boynton Hill. This group has participated 128 R. Sbailer, R. MacKay, N. Kerr, L. Nutting, C. Kinne, W. Day, R. Brown. A. Winslow, V. Kohman, F. Morrison, H. Durick, D. Field, K. Woodbury, ]. Watt. W. Dodge, R. Fritch, J. Wright, R. Kimball, E. Larrabee, R. Bourgault. Each year the Camera Club tries to make some improvement in the darkroom by the addition of new equipment. At the begin¬ ning of this year, the club purchased a new enlarger, which has made it possible for the members to improve the quality of their enlargements. The meetings of the club, held once a month during the year, usually featured an experienced man in the field as speaker, or something of interest to the amateur pho¬ tographers. A very interesting and instruc¬ tive talk on color photography was given by Conrad Lindblad of the Norton Com¬ pany. It was illustrated by many beautiful Kodachromes taken by the speaker. Of special interest this year was a demon¬ stration of lighting given at the Bushong Studio. The members of the club spent a busy evening snapping pictures of an ama¬ teur model under many different lighting conditions. Then there was also another Model Night” when the club used the CAMERA CLUB stage of Alden Memorial with its marvelous lighting and a professional model. 129 R. Robinson, R. Boyce, F. Merrill, J. Newton, H. Hyde, R. French. W. Jackson, B. Benson, H. Newell {faculty), C. Berry, R. Corey, J. Fernane. RADIO CLUB The Radio Club has recently enlarged its equipment by the addition of phone appa¬ pi ! TT ■ i % % ratus to its two hundred watt transmitter, station WlYK. However, the equipment is not used a great deal, because most of the members have their own equipment in the houses where they live. There are six licensed operators in the club—namely: Carl Benson, chief operator, Charles Berry, Roger Corey, James Fernane, William Jack- son, and Robert Gordon. The club meetings this year have con¬ sisted mainly of code practice for members who do not yet have their licenses, but a lively program was planned for the rest of the year. On the twenty-seventh of April the club entered a team in a two-day nation-wide high frequency contest in which the object is to contact as many sta¬ tions as possible. Later in the year the club plans to have a high frequency treasure hunt. For this event a transmitter will be hidden some¬ where around the city and the contestants will be required to find it by means of directional antennae on portable receivers. 130 B. D’Ewart, D.

The Aero Club was founded in the year 1928, by a group of air-minded Tech stu¬ dents, simultaneously with the inaugura¬ tion of the present course in aeronautics. Kenneth G. Merriam, professor of Aero¬ nautical Engineering, served as faculty ad¬ viser of the group and has continued in that capacity to the present day. This year the club has had a number of interesting meetings, and exhibits. In Feb¬ ruary, the club sponsored a talk on Naval Aviation, presented by Lieutenant Plank. At this time, the requirements which a man must meet in order to be accepted for flight training were discussed. The Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer film Eyes of the Navy” was offered, vividly illustrating the essence of modern flight training. At a later meet¬ ing an exhibition of indoor models was held. In January, Mr. Edward Pacek, W.P.I. ’41, an instructor in the U. S. Naval Air Training, gave an informal talk on life at Training Station. He described life in the AERO CLUB Naval Air Corps as a hard life, quick¬ paced and exciting.” 131 S. Porter, W. Underwood, D. Saunders, C. Hartbower, B. Foster, R. French. NAUTICAL ASSOCIATION The Nautical Association was first recog¬ nized by the Institute when its constitu¬ tion was accepted late in 1939. During the last year the association has received a new impetus through the interest that President Cluverius has shown in the club. Through the efforts of the President the club has received an appropriation to pay for expenses going to and from the regat¬ tas. At present boats are needed badly by the club. Since the Institute is situated so far from any large body of water, it is difficult for the members of the club to get any practice, although M.I.T. has ex¬ tended a standing offer for members of the association to go to Cambridge and use their boats. During the last year the club has par¬ ticipated in several regattas. In October a regatta with teams from ten Eastern col¬ leges was held at M.I.T. The first three teams to compete in a national champion¬ ship regatta. Our team placed fourth. Last November a Freshman team placed second in a regatta at Brown University, and in May they will go to Brown again for another meet. 132 C. Davis, G. Scott, R. Telzerow, R. Krieger, G. Underhill.

In the spring of 193 8 sixteen students who enjoyed debating in high school and missed it upon coming to Tech, joined to¬ gether under the chairmanship of Professor Swan to form the W.P.I. Debating Society. Although other attempts to form similar clubs at Tech have lasted only a short time, the Debating Society is still going strong after three years. The founders made it the chief purpose of the society to provide opportunities for practice in public speak¬ ing to all who desired it, rather than to make heavy demands on the time of a few varsity debaters. This was accomplished by holding numerous discussions within the group, as well as debates with other schools and colleges. This year the society has engaged in sev¬ eral debates under the able tutelage of Tech’s new English Instructor, Mr. French. Among the varsity opponents have been Clark, Boston University, Rensselaer Poly¬ tech, Fitchburg State Teachers, and Rhode Island State College. A team consisting of DEBATING CLUB members of the sophomore and freshman classes has held numerous panel discussions during the year along with more formal debates with teams from Holy Cross, St. Lawrence University, and North High School of Worcester. 133 F.

Lucca. NEWMAN CLUB The Worcester Tech chapter of the Newman Club, which was organized in 1915, has again had added membership arising from an interested freshman class. Total registration has always been large in this outstanding club but this year’s mem¬ bership is even more so. The Newman Club was named after Cardinal Newman, an out¬ standing figure in the Catholic church in the nineteenth century, and in 1917 joined the Federation of Catholic College Clubs. This year’s program again began with a Triduum held in the Immaculate Concep¬ tion Church for a period of three days. Then came regular monthly meetings held this year in Fech’s new Alden Memorial Building, attended by members and all those interested including visiting members of the Federation from other schools. Mem¬ bers of the clergy again helped out by pre¬ senting very interesting talks. On the social side, the club held a joint dance with the Worcester State Teachers’ College in the fall. The largest event of the year was the annual Communion Break¬ fast held this spring at the Bancroft Hotel at which Mr. John E. Millae of Babscn Institute was the guest speaker. 134 J. Lebourveau, B. D’Ewart, H. Gay (faculty), P. Swan (faculty), Z. Coombs (Dean Emeritus), J. McLay, A. Harder. C. Hoebel, R. Parks, L. Reiche, J. Allured, R. Holz, M. Chu, T. Crossley. COSMOPOLITAN CLUB The Cosmopolitan Club is a broadening influence in an engineering college, which necessarily must be rather specialized. The club was originally intended to promote better understanding and good will among foreign students at the Institute, but be¬ cause of the scarcity of those students in recent years, the club has opened its mem¬ bership to all students interested in foreign affairs. The value of the club’s meeting is greatly increased by the fact that about a third of the members are of the faculty. Most of the meetings this year were held at the home of Dean Howe, where subjects of international interest were discussed. At one of these meetings Dean Howe discussed his visit to the new LaGuardia Airport in New York, after which Peter Holz, ’42, presented a comparison of Germany, his homeland, and America. At another one of these meetings the club was addressed by Chamroon Tishyanandana, ’41, of Bangkok, Siam. The highlight speaker of the year was Dr. Van Valkenburg, geographer and professor, at Clark University, who gave an address entitled Review of the Present European Situation.’’ The nucleus of the speech was about Yugoslavia, and its status in the European scene at that time. After Dr. Van Valkenburg concluded his speech, an open discussion was held. 135 G. Birch all, J: Bell, C. Keyser (faculty). SKEPTICAL CHYMISTS The Skeptical Chymists Society is inter¬ ested in the current advances and activities in the chemical field. Presentations of papers and discussions based on current improvements in chemistry are given by students at each meeting. The students ac¬ quire confidence and poise in the presenta¬ tion of these talks, and in addition are stimulated to do further reading in the cur¬ rent chemical literature. Faculty members and industrialists are called upon to deliver papers on current topics. Several interesting papers were given by students during the year. John Bell gave an interesting talk on The Composition and Manufacture of Lucite.” William Simmons talked on Sulf¬ anilamide and Sulfpyridine,” the miracle working drugs which have featured so recently as being sure death for streptococci and gonococci. The society’s patron saint is Robert Boyle, a seventeenth century scientist. Boyle was the first to dismiss entirely the principles of alchemy and to apply philosophical rea¬ soning to the subject of chemistry. The Skeptical Chymists is a student chap¬ ter of the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society. Frequent in¬ spection trips are designed to give the stu¬ dents a typical picture of the operation of modern chemical industries. 136 K. Fowler, G. Knauff, C. Hoebel. The student branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers was estab¬ lished at Tech to further the interests and knowledge of the students and give them information on the new-found applications of Mechanical Engineering principles. Dur¬ ing the past year the many members of the association have had the privilege of listen¬ ing to several interesting lectures by promi¬ nent men in the engineering world. Two of these lectures were heard by the students while having a joint meeting with the senior society. These lectures were on Smooth Surfaces” and Speed Photography.” One of the m6st interesting lectures given at a meeting of the student branch of the A.S.M.E. was by Charles M. Allen, Profes¬ sor of Hydraulic Engineering. Professor Allen gave his talk on Gasoline” and told of its uses and abuses. Matches were ignited over full cans of gasoline. The fact that nothing happened proved that atmosphere full of gasoline vapor is not explosive. The lecture and demonstrations were extremely A. S. M. E. interesting and were enjoyed by all present. Professor Allen has given this lecture for several years. It is one that many Fresh¬ men attend on the advice of upperclassmen who have witnessed it in previous years. 137 W. Wiley, R. Parks, F. Oneglia, D. Hartwell. A. S. C. E. The main purpose of the Student Chap¬ ter of the American Society of Civil Engi¬ neers is to give its members a chance to listen to and to talk with important men in the field of civil engineering. This past year has been a very successful one as a number of very interesting speakers were heard. Dwight McCacken spoke on Methods and Uses of Traffic Survey.” At the sec¬ ond meeting Stanley M. Dore spoke on Construction of Winsor Dam and the Pressure Aqueduct in the Vicinity of Framingham.” H. M. Divert spoke at the next gathering of the society and his topic was Construction and Uses of Surveying Instruments.” Not only did the society hear talks by invited guests, but there were talks by stu¬ dents of the A.S.C.E. Sidney W. Clark, ’41, spoke on Conowingo Hydroelectric De¬ velopment of a Dam.” Francis J. O neglia, ’42, spoke on Concrete Highway Con¬ struction” and he featured his talk with motion pictures of the actual construction. Jackson L. Durkee, ’43, talked on and showed motion pictures of the Construc¬ tion of Baton Rouge Bridge.” Salvatore Vellassai, ’42, spoke on the Construction of the New York West Side Highway.” Professor Meyer, accompanied by eight students, attended a convention of the New England Chapters of the A.S.C.E. which was held at Brown University. 138 S. Potter, W. Grabowski, P. Jaremko, R. Grant, V. Siegfried (facility). A.I.E.E. The American Institute of Electrical Engineers was formed to give men in the profession an opportunity to keep up with modern trends and with the work of their colleagues. The student chapter at Tech is fostered by the organization so that stu¬ dents can enter professional life with a good idea of what it is like. With this purpose in mind the meetings are given over to speakers; sometimes stu¬ dents, who enlarge on various phases of electrical engineering. Motion pictures and inspection tours round out the program of the group. The past year has seen a wealth of in¬ formation given in lectures on subjects ranging from Modern Methods of Wire Tapping” to Army Life.” One of the highlights of the year was an inspection tour through the frequency modulation radio station at Paxton. There students, who had previously heard an explanation of frequency modulation, were shown the modern equipment used in this new method of radio transmission. The student chapter was the first group to make use of the projection facilities of the Alden Memorial. Sound films made available by the General Electric Company were presented after which the club mem¬ bers inspected the new projection equipment which is the latest type of equipment. 139 rHLETICS ATHLETIC COUNCIL In every college where athletics play an important part in the program, there is need for a governing body to regulate ath¬ letic activity. At Tech, the Athletic Coun¬ cil is the governing body of the Athletic Association. The Constitution of the Ath¬ letic Council states, 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. The Athletic Council shall distribute funds among the several athletic interests. In matters pertaining to the promotion and regulation of athletics, this council shall have full power, subject to Faculty restriction. In case of vacancy among the student members in the Athletic Council, the remaining members shall tem¬ porarily appoint another representative to serve until the election in the usual man¬ ner of a member to fill the vacancy.” The Council is designed to give the stu¬ dents a voice in the athletic policy of the Institute. Every year, at the first assem¬ bly in the fall, four student members from the three upper classes are elected to the Council by the student body. One more student member is appointed by the Presi¬ dent of the Institute. The rest of the Coun¬ cil is made up of two faculty members, two alumni members, and the head of the Ath¬ letic Department, who acts as chairman. The Council holds regular meetings three times a year. At these meetings, matters pertaining to policy and program are dis¬ cussed, the names of those to whom letters shall be awarded are approved, and mana¬ gerial staffs for each sport are elected for the following season. Probably the most important action taken by the Athletic Council, this year, was the decision that freshmen should no longer be eligible to participate in varsity athletics. This policy is in practice at most other colleges. At Tech, the Swimming and Soc¬ cer teams have had separate freshman and varsity teams for the last few years. Next year, freshman teams will be organized for all of the major sports. It is believed that these teams will do much to develop new material for the varsity teams. The new plan will give the freshmen much more opportunity to take part in the athletic pro¬ gram; and with regularly scheduled games for freshman teams, the yearlings should have a good chance to show how they look in action on the playing field—a chance shared by only a few under the present set-up. Every fall, the Athletic Council holds a banquet in Sanford Riley Hall to honor those who have participated in the fall sports program. At this time, letters are awarded and the names of the elected cap¬ tains for the following season are announced. Outside speakers of national reputation are usually secured for this gathering. In answer to the cry of the athletic teams for more and better equipment, the Coun¬ cil held a Sports Dance, last March in Alden 142 W. Harding, E. Higginbottom (faculty), C. Hoebel, A. Rankin (YMCA), R. Green. H. Taylor (faculty), A. Knight (faculty), D. Atkinson, P. Carpenter (faculty). Memorial for the benefit of the Athletic Association. Music was furnished by the Boyntonians, and the affair was considered to be both a financial and social success. The entire proceeds of the dance will go toward supplying our teams for next year with equipment which they otherwise would not have. This year’s Athletic Council has been an able and progressive organization. It has succeeded in doing an excellent job in pre¬ senting student opinion to the Athletic Department, and has done well in crystal¬ lizing the ideas of the student body into some form of action. The Chairman is Pro¬ fessor Carpenter, head of the Physical Edu¬ cation Department. Professor A. J. Knight of the Civil Engineering Department is the Eaculty Treasurer of the Council. Faculty Member-at-large is Professor Higginbottom, soccer and tennis coach and member of the English Department. The Alumni are rep¬ resented by Professor H. F. Taylor, W.P.I. T2, Alumni Secretary, and A. E. Rankin, W.P.I. ’04. Student members are as follows: D. T. Atkinson, President, W. G. Harding, Vice President, Frank McNamara, Treasurer, R. Green, Secretary, and E. Scott, student member-at-large. 143 J. Dowd (Assistant Coach), T. Budzyna (Assistant Coach), R. Muir (Manager), I. Bigler (Coach). B. Marsh, A. Jackson, R. Jasper, E. Peterson, R. Montgomery, R.

Bigler After losing the first five games of the season, the 1940 Football Team refused to concede victory to a highly-favored Rens¬ selaer eleven and wound up the season in a blaze of glory by trimming the Sons of Troy by a 14-13 margin. This final game brought the season to a successful close be¬ fore a Home-coming Day crowd of 4,500 enthusiastic and wildly-cheering spectators. In total points, W.P.I. garnered 20, while their opponents rolled up 99. A squad of thirty seasoned players an¬ swered the first call for training to Coach Pete Bigler and Jack Dowd in September. Ted Budzyna, former Vermont University star, was added to the coaching stall and placed in charge of the freshman squad. Returning to the squad for pre-season practice were ten lettermen, led by Captain Elmer Scott, a Trojan on defense and a pile-driving ball carrier. He was replaced at center by Sophomore Ed Peterson and Freshman Jack Fleming. Al Bellos was shifted from the right wing to the fullback spot to share the backfield burdens with Don Atkinson, the only returning backfield gridster. To fill in the vacancy at end, George Knauff was teamed up with the diminutive but scrappy Ben Phelps, a re¬ turning letterman. The guard berths were well represented by Bill Grabowski, Handy Andy” Andreopoulos, and Bob Hanckel. At the tackle positions were three returning lettermen, Bob Lotz, Arvo Saarnijoki, and Pete Wilson, all 200-pounders. Other seasoned reserves included Bob Seaton, Art Jackson, and Bob Allen in the 144 ball-carrying department, as well as the less experienced Dick Jasper, Ed Lipovsky, Red Haran and Phil Gow. In the line, Bcb Montgomery, stocky Sophomore, filled in capably as a reserve at center; Dick Slein, Bert Marsh and Wilmot Keogh, all Sopho¬ mores, fought for guard posts; Ken Dresser, Bart Douglas and Ralph Stinson were in the tackle slots; and Arnold Swanson was at a wing berth. Among the freshmen who gave a good account of themselves were: Tom Hoar, Jack Fleming, Ray Herzog, George Collins, Al Larkin, George Vogel, Bob Patterson, and Nick Economou. The curtain-raiser found the United States Coast Guard Academy forming the opposition on Alumni Field, and the great defensive playing of Captain Scott could not stave off the power and deception dis¬ played by the visitors. A break in the second period paved the way for the first touchdown for the New Londoners when Don Atkinson fumbled a punt on his own 10-yard stripe and the ball was recovered by right end McLendon. Stubborn line resistance pushed the ball back to the seven after the first play netted six yards, but Thompson passed to Tibbets in the end zone on last down for the initial score, and O’Neill converted the extra point. The Engineers missed two oppor¬ tunities to tally in the last half, being halted on the 26-yard stripe in the third quarter and bogging down on the three-yard mark in the final period. In the third stanza, Drury, Coast Guard fury, broke into the open on a wide end sweep from his own thirty and was heading fast for pay dirt when Captain Scott came from nowhere ro dump him viciously on the Tech twenty- seven, but the visitors continued to drive to the eleven. From this point Thompson split the uprights with a perfect placement on last down. The final tally came late in the game when Kincaid intercepted a pass thrown by Bellos, raced unmolested for 40 yards and then kicked the extra point. Final score: Tech, 0—Coast Guard, 17. Playing host to a heavier Trinity eleven the following Saturday, the Boynton Hill¬ ers again met their Waterloo after holding the upper hand throughout the first half. Three chances to score failed at crucial mo¬ ments for the Engineers, and three light¬ ning-like thrusts, good for 3 8 yards, en¬ abled Knurek to tally the first touchdown after an attempted punt by Scott was blocked. Trinity’s second score came on a freak 145 play in which Scott fumbled as he was hit by three tacklers on his own 10-yard stripe. Beidler, catching the ball in mid-air, scam¬ pered over for the count. Beidler also scored the final six points by skirting right end for five yards after a 51-yard drive. Final score: Tech, 0—Trinity, 19. American International College supplied the opposition for the third home game of the season and administered the hosts with much the same treatment as their two pre¬ decessors did. The breaks again turned against the Engi¬ neers as O’Grady intercepted a pass on his own 26 and raced back 40 yards before being hauled to earth. A.I.C. then drove to the three-yard marker and O’Grady plunged the remaining distance on last down. He continued to be a thorn in the side of the Biglermen when he gathered in a punt on his own 20 and, with the aid of fine blocking, slithered his way the length of the entire field. The final score came when Hart, left tackle for the visitors, intercepted a desperate last-minute pass on Tech’s thirty-two and went over standing up. Final score: Tech, 0—A.I.C., 20. W.P.I. finally broke into the scoring col¬ umn on a beautiful 18-yard run through tackle by Bellos at Mass. State, but dropped their fourth consecutive decision of the season. After several threats by State were staved off early in the contest, Ryan, op¬ posing halfback, scampered down the cen¬ ter of the field with a punt return and tallied standing up. A series of passes from Bellos to Bob Allen started Tech rolling, and a right end skirt by Freshman George Vogel carried the Engineers to State’s eighteen. Bellos then faded back for a pass and, unable to locate a receiver, cut through left tackle. Aided by beautiful blocking on the part of Vogel and Nick Economou, freshman guard, Bellos struck pay dirt for Tech for the first time this season. Final score: Tech, 6— Mass. State, 12. The Maroon and Gray travelled to King¬ ston to meet the powerful Rhode Island State juggernaut and were vanquished be¬ fore the onslaught of the Rams in a driving rainstorm. A pass to Coates and a line buck by Duke Abbruzzi brought the Keaneymen their first tally, while power plays were re¬ sponsible for the second. On the first play from scrimmage in the second half, Ab¬ bruzzi sliced through left tackle and cut back for a sixty-yard jaunt and the third 146 Ram tally. Final score: Tech, 0—Rhode Island State, 18. Turning the tables in the season’s finale against Rensselaer Polytech, the W.P.I. eleven upset the highly-touted visitors in a breath-taking hair-raiser. R.P.I. boasted of an undefeated, untied record, and had been unscored upon in their four previous bat¬ tles, but this meant absolutely nothing to Pete Bigler’s charges. Rensselaer took the opening kickoff on their own thirty-five and rolled along smoothly for their first tally, but this only served to make the Boynton Hillers more grim and determined. Scott crashed through a few moments later to block a kick, and Tech was off to the races. A pass from Scott to Bellos, and runs by Bellos and Allen gave W.P.I. a first down on the twenty-five. MacFarlund then intercepted a pass on his own seven, and attempted to lateral the ball, but it was intercepted this time by Bellos, who scooted down to the thirteen before being tackled. He followed this with a slice through tackle to the four, and Scott bucked through center for the touchdown. A placement by Bellos knotted the count at 7-7. R.P.I. opened an aerial attack at the re¬ sumption of play in the second half and paved the way for the second W.P.I. tally. Art Jackson intercepted a Rensselaer bomb in the flat and raced 46 yards for the score as Knauff and Andreopouios protected him with timely blocks. Bellos again made his placement good and Tech led by 14-7. Rensselaer then took advantage of a par¬ tially blocked punt in the final period, and with slippery Sammy Schwartz ripping off long gains, rolled to the Tech nineteen. Flere Schwartz jockeyed through for an¬ other touchdown, but the day was saved for Tech when Bob Montgomery, diminu¬ tive slashing center, broke through to block the attempted drop-kick and preserved the margin of victory. Big Bob Lotz and George Knauff played great defensively, while Scott and Bellos were brilliant on offense. Final score: Tech, 14—Rensse¬ laer, 13. 147 R. Tidier, H. Swenson, R. Twitcjbell, G.

Bigler Worcester’s 1940-41 basketball season was not an outstanding one but the team more than lived up to pre-season expecta¬ tions by winning eight of its fifteen games. In Alumni Gym Tech was well nigh in¬ vincible, winning eight of the nine home games, but ill luck traveled with the Engi¬ neers and not once were they able to bring home the wreath from a foreign court. The usual starting line-up found Co-cap¬ tain Al Bellos and Franny Oneglia at the forward posts, George Knauff at center, and Bob Lotz and freshman Bill Stone in the backcourt. At the mid-way mark Co¬ captain Johnny Wells, last year’s high scorer, joined the team and eased the burden of his Iron Man” teammates. High scorer and opportunist supreme was Al Bellos. He intercepted many an opponent’s shaky pass, turning it into a basket for Tech, and hooped 209 points for the season. Franny Oneglia was an excellent ball handler and no spectator can forget his deadly shooting f rom the corners of the floor. George Knauff played a hard, steady game and could be counted on to come through with a basket at a crucial moment. Time and again Bob Lotz, alone under his own bas¬ ket, would kill a scoring play that two fast breaking opponents had tried to set up. Long-John” Wells was invaluable in snatching the ball from the backboard and there was little stopping of his sweeping one-handers. Bill Stone stepped into a guard slot at the start of the season and per¬ formed like a veteran. He was a great floor worker and a deadly set-shot artist. Three other freshmen, Bob Twitchell, George Collins, and Howie Swenson, saw frequent 148 service as replacements and showed great promise. In the opener the Bates Bobcats came down from Lewiston with practically the same team that had upset last year’s team in the curtain raiser. At the half Tech led the favored Downeasters” 24-21 through the brilliant shooting of Bellos and Stone. Bates came back with a rush in the second half to take over the long end of the score. Just as it seemed certain that they would win going away the Techmen rallied to re¬ gain the lead which they never relinquished to win the thriller by a close 39-37 count. Blond Al Bellos racked up sixteen points to take the scoring honors. Stoney” justified Pete’s faith in him by playing a remarkably fine all round game that immediately won the favor of the fans. Worcester was again the underdog in the next contest with Northeastern. The Engi¬ neers jumped to the lead at the offset as Bellos and Oneglia found the range with spectacular shots. With ten minutes left to play the score stood 45-27 which seemed to put the game on ice. It was then that Pajonas, the Huskies’ ace, caught fire and caged five quick baskets before the tired Tech five could rally to stop him. His one man outburst fell short, however, and the game wound up 5 3-41. Bellos, Oneglia, and Knauff accounted for 22, 16, and 10 points while Pajonas was high for the losers with 20 . Assumption College was next victimized in a rather slow game to the tune of 43-2 8. The Greendalers could not penetrate the tight Tech defense and the first half was nearly over before Pete’s forwards began to make the twines sing. Tufts came to town with a scrappy team and when the final gun sounded the Bigler- men knew that they had been in a battle. The Crimson and Gray played their best ball of the year up to this point to take a commanding 26-12 lead at the half. The final stanza was rough and fast as the Jumbos began to narrow the gap but the men of lech spurted near the end to keep the lead. Once again Captain Bellos had led his teammates to victory over a favored foe. The final score: W.P.I. 40, Tufts 3 2. The Boynton Hillers travelled to Boston with hopes of breaking a twenty year tra¬ dition of not having won their first five games. The Boston University five had other plans and when the game ended the Tech Iron Men” had lost their first start 149 of the year by a 5 8-33 margin. The teams were more evenly matched than the score indicates, and the game was exciting and crammed full of action. Tech played a hard, never-say-die game and it was a com¬ bination of lack of reserves, the accurate eye of Pantano, the Terrier captain, and ordinary bad luck that lost the game for Worcester. Bouncing back from this defeat, the Tech quintet romped over a visiting Trinity Col¬ lege five to roll up a 56-3 8 victory. Fran Oneglia showed the way by caging five baskets and converting a remarkable total of eleven foul shots. Much to the delight of the Tech rooters Bob Lotz stepped out of his usual role as guard extraordinary and had nine points to show for his efforts. The next game, with the Gymnasts from Springfield College marked the only home game lost by the W.P.I. team. With their cleverly spread offense the visitors had little difficulty in penetrating the usually strong Tech zone defense. Playing under the severe pressure of exam week the Engineers never got their attack functioning. The scoreboard tells the rest of the story. Spring- field 46, Tech 31. Co-captain John Wells returned to the lineup and starred with Bellos and Stone in conquering a favored St. Anselm quin¬ tet 46-37. Big John was much in evidence as he blocked shots, controlled the back- boards and tossed in eleven points. It was a nip and tuck affair until the final min¬ utes when the Worcester team put on the pressure to win going away. In the next two games against Brown and Coast Guard Academy Al Bellos hooped 23 and 27 markers for a week’s total of 5 0. At Providence Al was easily the out¬ standing player on the floor as he inter¬ cepted passes or stole the ball and dribbled the length of the court to tally. The game was closely contested but the Blond Bomber” received little scoring support from his mates and the fast moving Bruins turned on the heat in the last quarter to win 5 5-44. The Boynton Hillers experienced no diffi¬ culty in trouncing the outclassed Guards¬ men. It was their seventh triumph in ten starts. Tech’s tow-headed co-captain gave a long-to-be-remembered exhibition of siz¬ zling one-handed shots that netted him 20 points in the first half. With the score at 46-29 at the start of the fourth quarter, Coach Bigler sent the reserves into action 150 and they outplayed the hapless New London lads bringing the total to 60-37. Tech teams have always had a pleasant habit of upsetting supposedly superior R. I. State aggregations. This year a large band of W.P.I. rooters, eager to see another upset, travelled to Kingston with the team. The Keaneymen tasted sweet revenge this season, however, as they pinned a prodigious 96-67 setback on the Institute team. While the Tech defense concentrated on Modze- lewski, his teammate, Bud Conley, amassed a phenomenal total of 40 points in the 29 minutes he played. Had he been allowed to play the full time he might easily have broken the national scoring record. Oneglia led the Worcester scorers with 21 digits., In the packed Clark gymnasium the South-enders clearly outplayed their tradi¬ tional North-end ' rivals. The men of Tech played their hearts out but the Clark team was hot and Strzelecki tossed in eleven un- blockable shots. When the final gun sound¬ ed the Scarlet team had taken the city title 52-34. George Knauff played the most bril¬ liant game of his career leading the Tech scorers and displaying fine defensive form. Connecticut U. had a team that was good enough to defeat R. I. State and when the Worcester Tech squad arrived at Storrs they knew they were in for a hard game. Had not the Crimson and Gray been possessed of such wretched shooting luck the final tally would have been much closer than 5 8-37. Back in Alumni Gym and back in stride, the Engineers took Mass. State over the hurdles 51-42. Tech jumped to an early lead and was never headed, although the tilt was close enough to be exciting. Fran Oneglia sparked the W.P.I. offense by pop¬ ping ten baskets. The last game of the season was played in Troy against Rensselaer Polytech. Last Fall the W.P.I. football team had pulled an astounding upset to spoil the Trojan’s perfect record and the R.P.I. men, still smarting from this defeat, were determined to upset the Worcester hoopsters. Tech led 2 5-17 at half-time but in the second half, without the services of Co-captain Bellos who was out with an injured leg, the visi¬ tors began to lose ground. With two min¬ utes to go they trailed by four points. Here Co-captain Wells and Franny Oneglia tal¬ lied from the floor to tie the score at the end of the regular playing time at 41-all. In the overtime Rensselaer outscored Wor¬ cester 6-1 to win the hectic game. 151 W. Knight (manager), R. Jasper, W. Stone, I. Bigler (coach). R. Matthews, J. McLay, A. Larkin, T. Lenders, H.

BASEBALL Captain _ Harry Kingsley Manager _ Walter Knight Coach _ Ivan Bigler The 1940 crew of baseballers closed Tech’s poor athletic season with a record of two wins in seven games played, winning only against Arnold College and Clark. Due to the rainy season which prevailed from the start of the campaign, four games were postponed and the irony of it was that these were supposed to be the soft touches on the schedule. The T’echmen pried off the lid by travel¬ ling to Springfield to play A.I.C., only to suffer a sound thumping at the hands of a powerful and experienced nine to the tune of 16-3. This was Tech’s opening contest of the season because rain had caused can¬ cellation of scheduled contests with As¬ sumption and Norwich, and Coach Pete Bigler had therefore to be content with what little practice he could manage to get in between showers, and the resulting effect was quite perceptible in the opener. Tech used three pitchers in trying to stop the avalanche of hits that rang off the A.I.C. bats, but to little avail. Final score, A.I.C. 16 runs, 14 hits—Tech, 3 runs, 6 hits. The next game, against Trinity, was played at the home field on a wet, cold day and the weather produced a very drab and drawn-out ball game. Tech succeeded in running up the same score that they had in the opener, while cutting down the oppo¬ sition’s scoring to eight runs and five hits. The game was called at the end of the seventh, when the drizzle turned into a downpour. Highlighting Tech’s play were Gustafson, who had a double and single, and Frank McNamara, who drove in two runs when he singled sharply to right field with the bases loaded. Final score: Trinity, 8 runs, 5 hits—Tech, 3 runs, 6 hits. 152 Under Captain Ben Lambert’s driving pitches and bounding hits, the W.P.I. nine broke into the win column by trouncing Clark 11-3. Lambert, pitching brilliantly, held the Clark batsmen to five hits, one in the first and four in the seventh. Starring for Tech at bat was Lambert with two triples, Fran Oneglia with three singles and Ed Lipovsky with a double and single, while Kingsley and Oneglia handled twelve chances in the field flawlessly. Before a large throng of At Home Day guests, Tech beat the Arnold College nine of New Haven 7-4. Blazing Ben Lambert again showed his hitting prowess by hitting a pinch double in the seventh with the has¬ socks loaded to drive in three runs and thereby clinch the game. Also aiding the Tech cause was Frank McNamara who had three hard hit balls to his credit and Bill Carroll who made a beautiful one-handed stab of a line drive to end an Arnold rally. Liberty started the game on the mound and got credit for the victory al¬ though he was relieved by Lambert in the seventh. In the next game, Tech was host to the Rhode Island Rams who took advantage of seven errors and eleven stolen bases to win handily 11-1. Ben Lambert pitched the whole game for Tech and did very well con¬ sidering the support that he got. He al¬ lowed thirteen hits while the engineers garnered eleven off Keaney, the Rhode Island ace. Tech obtained their lone tally when Atkinson got to first on an error, was advanced to third when Gustafson and Carroll grounded out and was brought home on Franny Oneglia’s sharp single to left. Riding high on the crest of a nineteen hit barrage, the Northeastern Huskies hand¬ ed the W.P.I. nine their second straight setback 18-14. As the score indicates, the game was marked by heavy hitting on the part of both teams and when dusk finally settled over the diamond at Brookline, a total of thirty-seven hits had entered the score books. Tech wound up the season by dropping a closely contested game to Clark 4-3 al¬ though they outhit their crosstown rivals 8-7. In the opener of the 1941 campaign, Bates took the Tech nine into camp 7-5, in a well played ball game. Tech outhit their Maine rivals 13-10 and deserved to win but Lady Luck had deemed otherwise. Every man got a hit with Kingsley and McNamara leading the way with two hits apiece. Bill Carroll, picking up where he left off last year, made three brilliant catches in the tough left field pasture to keep starting hurler, Ray Matthews, out of hot water. In the second game of the young season, A.I.C. came to town and soundly thrashed the W.P.I. aggregation 18-0 behind the su¬ perb hurling of Cannonball Nowak and Fran Rosso, who let the Tech batters down with three infield hits. Frank McNamara started on the hill for Tech and was relieved by Elmer Scott in the fifth. 153 S. Hopkins (manager), R. Parks, R. Schultheiss, H. Paige, M. Higgins, K. Fraser (assistant coach), E.

SOCCER Captain _William Bosyk Manager _ Steplien Hopkins Coach _ Edwin Higginbottom The 1940 season proved disappointing and discouraging after the team had rolled up a record of eleven wins and one loss in two years previous. Aside from this, the squad seemed to be dogged by bad luck and a great deal of mud and rain. The greatest loss of the entire season will be that brought about by commencement. Eleven men on the team represent the Class of 1941. These were the men who were the backbone of the squad during the highly successful seasons of ’3 8 and ’39. Gone will be Paige at the net, Parks at right fullback, Jaremko at left fullback, Smith at center, Capt. Bosyk at left half¬ back, Paulsen at right infield, Kennedy at left outfield, also Ingham, Taylor, Benn, and Hoebel. With them goes one of the greatest soccer teams that W.P.I. has ever had and Tech has had famous soccer teams before. The opening game was played at Wor¬ cester against our ancient rivals, Coast Guard Academy. The Academy boasted a big fast team and early in the game scored the first goal. This occurred in the first five minutes of play and jolted the Tech team into quick decisive action. Norm Wil¬ son scored a goal in the second quarter on a pass from Sheehy. As the game progressed, the team work of the squad increased. In the third quarter, Glenn Hill scored for Tech on a beautiful pass from Walt Ken¬ nedy at right wing. Bill Paulsen snared one for Tech in the fourth stanza. Glenn Hill came to the front again with a goal in the closing minutes of play. Score: Tech 4, Coast Guard 1. 154 Tech received its first taste of bad luck and defeat at the hands of the Trinity Col¬ lege team. The first half saw the Tech team and the Trinity team go scoreless as they both played excellent defensive ball. The second half brought out a spirited Tech team and it was not long before they had scored the first goal of the game. Norm Wilson received a pass from center and let it fly by his opponent’s goal. Trinity then scored on a fluke in which the wind played an important role as a long looping shot outplayed Goalie Paige. This marked the beginning of Tech’s bad luck as the game took a crucial turn at this point. To fur¬ ther emphasize the bad luck which prevailed in this game, Trinity again scored in the fourth quarter when a ball glanced off the chest of Tech’s fullback and bounced over the goal line. With this bit of bad luck near the end of the game, Tech rallied but it was too late and the final gun went off. Score: Trinity 2, Tech 1. Connecticut University gave Tech an¬ other setback in revenge for the drubbing they received at the hands of our team the previous year. Neither team was able to score in the first half of the game as both defenses played a fine brand of ball. In the second half, Connecticut drove hard and scored the first goal of the game with a confusing grounder past Goalie Paige. The last quarter saw the fast-moving Conn. U. team score another point to make the score 2-0. Sophomore Glenn ' Hill came through in the closing minutes of the game to score one goal for Tech. Score: Conn. U. 2, Tech 1. Tech’s next rival was Clark University which proved an easy mark for the squad after a discouraging starting season. Tech scored in the first quarter on a beautiful shot by Walt Kennedy. The next quarter went scoreless though the boys tried to outdo themselves against their city rivals. The third quarter saw Al Rothwell score on a fine pass from center. Bill Paulsen made the final tally for Tech with the score 3-0 at the gun. Score: Tech 3, Clark U. 0. Tufts took its first win over Tech in six years in this season of surprises and dis¬ appointments. Playing in a steady rain, the squad was burdened with a heavy, muddy ball which proved difficult to handle. Clev¬ er passing on the part of the Tufts ball handlers resulted in scores. The first and second quarters saw the Jumbos” scoring single goals respectively. Tech came back in the third quarter with a great deal of spirit but the ball was too much for them to handle and their attack dwindled. The last stanza proved tiring to the squad and their opponents were able to score two more goals. Score: Tufts 4, Tech 0. The final game of the season with R.P.I. proved disappointing to the Homecoming Day” guests. Playing the best game of the year, the Tech squad was unable to over¬ come a one point lead held by R.P.I. which was made early in the contest. Both teams endeavored to score after driving a ttacks down the field. Score: R.P.I. 1, Tech 0. 155 F. Grant (coach), F. Merriam, F. Chamberlin, D. Russell, R. Paige, F. Shippee, B. Paulsen (manager).

VARSITY SWIMMING In spite of the commendable spirit shown by the team, the results of the 1940-41 swimming season sum up to two wins in eight starts. With no oustanding star like Riddick of last season, the team had con¬ sistent point-winners in Kennedy, Shippee, and Jackson. The team lost its opening meet to a strong Mass. State natatorial aggregation on December 19 at Fuller pool. Capt. Walt Kennedy gave Tech its only first place by winning the diving event. Jodka of Mass. State took the 200 yard breaststroke in the very good time of 2:52.2, bettering both the pool record and his own New England intercollegiate record. The final score was Mass. State 5 5, W.P.I. 20. On January 11 the Amherst mermen also took the measure of the Tech swimmers and Kennedy took Worcester’s only first by a similar score, 5 3-21. The free-style relay team, Chamberlin, Wynkoop, Paige, place in this meet when the powerful Lord Jeffs swam replacements after cinching the meet by previous events. Next, Tech traveled to Middletown, Conn., to be beaten by Wesleyan’s Cardinal swimmers by the now familiar score of 5 5-20. Fred Chamberlin, through his sec¬ ond places in the 100 yard and 5 0 yard free-style events, was high scorer for the Engineers. Fred Shippee also took a second in the 15 0 yard backstroke. The Wesleyan free-style relay team broke their own college record, but Tech received the decision in this event because of a dis¬ qualification. The next meet with the Coast Guard Academy at New London, Conn., on Janu¬ ary 5, was one of the best of the season. It was unusually close throughout and was not finally decided until Tech’s relay team won the final event. Jackson and Paige 156 took first and second in the 220 yard free-style, and Chamberlin and Wynkoop took first and second in the 60 yard dash. In the most exciting event of the meet, Steve Hopkins won the 200 yard breast¬ stroke by an arm’s length. Fred Shippee, backstroker, swam the quarter-mile free-style to gain third place and a much needed point, and also to save the free-stylers for the final event. Fred swam backstroke, free-style, dog-paddle and what-have-you. In a very close and thrilling race, Cham¬ berlin, Jackson, Wynkoop, and Paige won the 400-yard relay clinching the meet by a single point. Final score: Worcester 3 8, Coast Guard 37. The boys were rolling now and easily beat the Boston University swimming team, 47 to 28, on February 15 in Fuller pool. In the 220, the closest race of the afternoon, Jackson and Paige of Tech and Landers of B. U. practically finished in a dead heat. The judge’s verdict gave Jackson a first place, Landers a second, and Paige a third. Later Jackson also took a second place in the 440 yard free-style. The 400 yard free-style relay was another good race as Capt. Kennedy, swimming second leg, made up a twenty-foot deficit and passed on a lead of fifteen feet to the number three man. After the meet, the fellows looked around for Bill Paulsen, manager, who, according to tradition, was scheduled for a dunk in the pool. But Bill was nowhere to be found and the boys made a note that they would tend to the matter at the next home meet, win or lose. In the next meet at Hartford, February 20, Trinity sank Tech, 48-27. The feature of the meet was the swimming of Tyler, who set a new college mark of 24.5 seconds, for Trinity, in the 50 yard dash. Steven Hopkins won the 200 yard breast¬ stroke and Jackson captured the 440 yard freestyle in the last ten feet of the race. Connecticut University won easily over Tech at Sorrs on March 1, by taking first and second places in every event except the 60 and 100 yard dashes. Chamberlin took first in the 60 and Paige was barely nosed out of first in the 100 by Hyde of Connecticut. Final score: Conn. 5 8, W.P.I. 17 . Worcester closed its 1940-41 swimming season by losing to a strong M.I.T. team for the first time in six years. The meet was held at Worcester and the final score was M.I.T. 49, W.P.I. 26. Worcester Tech won the first two events, the medley relay and the 220 yard free-style. When Shippee, Hopkins, and Kennedy won the medley and Jackson won the 220, the Worcester team gained a lead of 11 to 3. It began to look as if things were sewn up for W.P.I., but from here on, Worcester took only one first place; the 150 yard backstroke was won by Shippee. However, all the races were close and it was impossible to pick the win¬ ner until the race was finished. After the meet someone remembered the unfinished business of the B,U. contest and Bill Paulsen was tossed into the pool. 157 J. Johnstone (coach), R. Brautigam, T. Budzyna (assistant coach). R.

Johnstone The Tech Track Team opened its 1940- 41 season indoors at Amherst in a three corner meet with Mass. State and Spring- field. Following this meet came the last indoor meet of the season, another triangu¬ lar meet, at Tufts. The Engineers did not fare any too well in these two meets, gain¬ ing last place in both meets. On Saturday, April 26, the Engineers competed in their first outdoor meet of the season with Trinity. When the last event was over the Boynton Hillers emerged the victors defeating Trinity by a score of 70 l to 5 5 4. The outstanding men for Tech were Stayman, who took the century and 220, Smith, who took the high and low hurdles, and Cameron, who came through in the two-mile. The outlook for the rest of the season is very good. The rest of the schedule consists of a dual meet with Uni¬ versity of Connecticut, the Eastern Inter- collegiates, and the New England Intercol- legiates. 158 TECH CES ?X ' TECH Es?

The team got off to a shaky start on October 5 when they lost on their home field to a strong Coast Guard team 20-39. Ken Hunt provided some solace for Tech fans when he won first place quite handily. A week later, October 12, a good Trinity squad invaded Worcester and eked out a victory by the score of 26-29. On October 19 Tech went to Storrs, Conn., and were the victims of the Conn. University team 20-3 5. This meet was highlighted by Hunt’s fine performance in leading the en¬ tire field home. The team journeyed to Amherst on October 26 where they were beaten by a powerful Mass. State squad 18-43. The following week the team made its third straight appearance on a foreign field, this time at Riverside, Mass., where they succumbed to Boston University 20- 42. Here, Ken Hunt again crossed the finish line in front of the pack. The team returned home for their final encounter on November 9. Their opponents for the day, the R.P.I. aggregation, completely out-ran them by the score of 19-46. CROSS¬ COUNTRY Captain _ Ken Hunt Manager _ Ken Benson Coach _ J. O. Johnstone 159 .

Johnstone This past relay season has been one of the most successful at Tech in recent years, as the team won both of its meets. In their first appearance of the season at the K. of C. meet in the Boston Garden, the combination of Ekstrom, Wilson, Green, and Stayman finished about a foot behind the Mass. State team. However, the deci¬ sion was reversed when the judges ruled that the Mass. State anchorman had fouled Stayman. This was only a two team race as the other entrant, Boston University, was forced to withdraw. Two weeks later the same team competed in the B.A.A. meet, also at the Boston Gar¬ den. In this meet they swamped Colby and edged out Mass. State. The race was strictly between Tech and Mass. State all the way. A bad pass of the baton to the anchorman cost State its chances of winning, as Stay- man never relinquished the slight lead it gave him. Tech’s winning time was 3:33, three seconds faster than the winning time in the first meet. The prospects for the ”42” season are particularly bright as only one member of the squad, Bob Wilson, will be lost through graduation. 160 E. Higginbottom (coach), S. Dalzell, S. Majka (manager), P.

The Worcester Tech tennis team com¬ pleted a none too successful season when they were rained out of their last game with Clark University last year. Out of eleven matches that were scheduled, the Tech men were able to win but two matches end they lost four. Playing their first game with M.I.T., the boys tasted defeat at the hands of a far superior and more experi¬ enced club, but after a week of strenuous practice under coach Higginbottom, the Tech men showed much improvement, proving this by defeating Assumption. On Saturday, May 11, the boys traveled to Amherst where they were again beaten. Against Norwich, the team again brought up their average when they came out on top 6-1. The following week saw the com¬ pletion of the season when Tech was the under dog in two contests. The Engineers lost to Boston University and to Spring- field College. Matches with Tufts, Trinity, and Clark were cancelled. The games scheduled for this season in¬ clude: Tufts, Assumption, M.I.T., Mass. State, Boston University, Trinity, Clark and Springfield.

GOLF Captain-Manager _ William Bosyk Worcester Tech’s 1941 Golf Team started the season with high hopes of chalking up a good record. Three veterans appeared at the tryouts to bolster the team’s hopes. The veterans were Captain William Bosyk, a heavy hitting senior with several years’ ex¬ perience; Alfred F. Anderson, another senior who had borne the brunt of the 1940 season’s forays; and Victor H. Thulin, a junior who had made the team in his Fresh¬ man year. Kenneth T. Hunt ’42, Jackson L. Durkee ’43, and Alfred C. Hellig, showed up well enough in the trials to warrant their selection to complete the roster. Despite the early season’s hopes the Boyn¬ ton Hillers fell before the fierce onslaught of the Norwich University Cadets in the season opener on April 21. The final score was 3 J4 to 214. In the second encounter on April 25 the Amherst College Team took heavy toll over Tech’s divot diggers to the tune of 314 to 4 on Tech’s home grounds. The following week, on May 2, the Wor¬ cester aggregation went down for the third time before M. I. T.’s powerful team. Final score 414 to 154 - 162 R. Allen, W. Raymond, R. Keller, R. Baharian. C.

Under the captaincy of Charles Parker, the Rifle Team ended their second year of competition in the New England Rifle League. While successful as far as sports¬ manship and interest were concerned, the actual scores showed but one win in sixteen meets.

At the beginning of the season Coach Budzyna formed the nucleus of the team around Kerr, Twitchell, Collins, Swenson and Jones. At midseason Twitched, Collins and Swenson were promoted to the varsity squad and Jones dropped out. Four capable players, Totti, Stowed, Anderson and Cam¬ eron, took their places and performed superbly during the rest of the season. The season started with a loss to Nichols Junior College (W.P.I.-21, Opp.-26), but Tech overwhelmed its next four opponents, Assumption High (W.P.I.-46, Opp.-25); Commerce High (W.P.I.-49, Opp.-25); Boston University (W.P.I.-45, Opp.-25), and Trinity (W.P.I.-39, Opp.-23). A thrill¬ er with Springfield was lost in the closing seconds (W.P.I.-41, Opp.-45). The sting of defeat urged the players to rise and over¬ power their next three rivals, South High (W.P.I.-3 8, Opp.-17), Classical High (W.P.I.-43, Opp.-30), and Clark Univer¬ sity Jayvees (W.P.I.-34, Opp.-26). The last two games were lost in a splurge of scoring by Trade School (W.P.I.-28, Opp.- 57) and Worcester Academy (W.P.I.-3 5, Opp. 5 3). 164 G. Sargent, R. Russell, A. Mandelin, S. Coes. F. Grant (coach), R. Norton, H. Rowe, R. Petersen, W. Paulsen (manager). Showing varsity strength as well as spirit, the Freshman swimming team ended their season with a record of two wins and four losses. The climax to a schedule of real competition was the annual Freshman- Sophomore swimming duel, which the Freshmen took by a 4 9 to 26 score. Judging from the strength of this year’s team, Coach Grant has unusual varsity prospects in such men as Rowe, Coes, and Russell. The first meet of the season, that with Worcester Academy, was probably the stiffest, yet Tech took 20 of the 6 5 points, due mainly to firsts by Coes and Rowe. In a return match the score was 44 to 21, the Freshman team showing more balance, tak¬ ing three firsts, two seconds, and three third places. In the match with the Ionic Boys’ Club, Peterson, Rowe, and Russell gave out¬ standing performances, indicating again their potentialities as varsity swimmers in giving Tech its first victory. Two matches with the Worcester Y. M. C. A. completed the regular season. These ended in scores of 36 to 24 and 47 to 28, both in the Freshmen’s favor. FROSH SWIMMING Captain - R.
