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.
